[Kokoro]

She had spent the last few months in Beijing looking for clues pertaining to a quirk that can control time. As expected, almost all the leads she picked up didn't turn out well, but when one eventually lead her into the countryside to a small seaside village she started to regain her hope. She couldn't pinpoint why, but this particular clue felt more real than the others.

Of course it turned out to be another dead end. She had been looking for the quirk that controls time. So when a local excitedly introduced her to the boy that had a quirk that controlled tides she couldn't help but laugh. At least the locals were nice and helped her restock before she started her trek back to the city.

Well, almost all of them.

Two guys had been trailing her for a while now, but she had been casually strolling along like they weren't there. It wasn't until she stopped at a rocky passage that they closed in on her, flanking her on either side.

''Hey, hey how did you like our village, Miss?''

''You don't intend to make off with such a heavy backpack do ya? A lady like you shouldn't be lugging all that around! How about we help lighten that for you.''

She quietly looked up at the both of them, smiling like she had smiled to those villagers earlier. ''I'm quite all right, thank you. I was just trying to figure out which way to go.''

''I'm not asking you, take a hint.'' One of the guys pulled out a knife and gestured to the top of the passage where a couple more robbers lied in wait.

''Sir,'' She started, showing no signs of fear. ''Please lay down your weapon and surrender.''
