Chapter 131. Rescue Operation

I walked away to talk with Shoto and saw him talking with Inasa. I was about to talk with Shoto, but stopped when I heard Inasa speak to Shoto. “I hate all of you. You may have changed, but you still have Endeavor's eyes.” I frowned and stood beside Shoto and glared at Inasa. “And I hate your face.” I said with a glaring expression. He looked at me with confusion, and Shoto looked at me, surprised I was here. “What? I thought we were just talking about things we hated about each other we couldn't change. Your personality may be nice, but I hate your face, it’s dumb…" I stopped talking for a second to let that argument sink in. "You see how stupid that argument is? You sound like a grade schooler. Grow up and realize that not everything is black or white. How would you like to live under that psycho for your childhood? You clearly said he changed, but you still hate him for his eye color? Shut up, and think before you say anything else out of that gaping maw you call a mouth.”

I then grabbed Shoto and walked him away with me from Inasa who was just staring at us in shock with his mouth agape. Shoto looked at me scowling in anger at Inasa and looked back down. He then gained a small smile and started chuckling. I didn’t notice this and just saw his back convulsing. I thought he was crying actually and patted his back. “Sorry, I may have gone a bit overboard. I sho-” I was then cut off by Shoto laughing while smiling. I looked at him with shock and everyone from class did too. He then shook his head while chuckling at this point and took a deep breath to steady himself.

“That may have been the best argument I have ever heard.” He said with a slight smile while sighing. We were then approached by Camie, I put one arm in front of Shoto and squinted at her with distrust. She put her hands up and kept smiling at me. “I come in peace.” I then moved my arm down, but kept the glare firmly on her. She giggled and continued to smile. ‘I really can’t read this girl.’ She kept her hands up in surrender as she talked to me. “I was just surprised at how you act to people that attack your friends.” I scoffed at her and walked away to the rest of the class with Shoto. “He’s not my friend.” She looked at me with confusion and I added on while walking away. “He’s my brother.”

We made it to the rest of the class and everyone but Deku who was watching, was wondering what happened. I was too mad to really talk about it, I had a scowl on my face that I couldn’t quite get rid of. I sat down in a chair and started to channel electricity into my left arm to get rid of some of the extra charge I built up in anger. I still wore my trench coat so others couldn’t see the glow my arm was emitting, but the steam was showing. People were just staring at me while I was trying my best to calm down. After some time, I managed to calm down enough to stop needing to channel extra power out of me.

I took a deep breath, and looked around. I saw most of the examines staring at me. I sighed and waved my arm to help dissipate some of the steam. I then looked at a glass of water put in my face. I followed the hand attached. It was Kyoka, blushing and her earphones spiraling in the air. “I know that if I don’t give you something to drink, you’ll be too stupid to do it yourself and then hurt yourself later.” I just smiled at her lovingly. She blushed harder and looked away from my gaze. “Just take it, you idiot!” I smiled brightly and took the glass. As I did I caressed her hand a bit to let her know I loved her, and found her cute. “Thank you.” I said while her face turned scarlet, and she stabbed me.

She left with a huff and I started drinking the water. I then noticed Shoto just grinning at me. I almost choked on the water I was drinking and started to cough uncontrollably. He chuckled and just watched my struggle. I eventually stopped and stared at him while blushing in embarrassment. He just had a small smile and shook his head at me. I finished my water and the announcement came out that we would be starting soon. I took one last deep breath to ease myself and stood up to join the rest of the class.

Everyone heard about my argument with Inasa at this point and knew that it was most likely from defending Shoto. They all gave me their greetings and readiness to help out on this exam with me. I smiled at seeing everyone together and had a big smile. “Let’s get this started!” I yelled in excitement and everyone followed behind me until the room started to fall apart. “Everyone! Spread out and search for those in need!” We all ran around to find civilians in need. I ran to the urban environment with most of the class, and we all separated from each other to help who we could.

I found someone trapped underneath a large pile of rubble. He looked to be in his 80’s and was yelling as best he could. I looked at him as he was yelling at me to save him. “Help me!! It hurts so much! Do something!” I took off my mask and goggles I put on earlier, and looked him in the eye with a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry sir. I’m gonna help you get out of this.” I looked closer to see if he had any other wounds while keeping him talking. “What’s your name?” He looked at me doing this and broke character for a bit to nod. “Yoshimori Sugimoto.”

I smiled at him and nodded while coming to the conclusion that he was ok, aside from his legs. “Ok Mr. Sugimoto, aside from your legs it seems that you are ok. That’s good. You’re going to be ok.” I then stood up and looked for anyone to help me. I saw Jin, just looking around confused at what to do. “Jin!” I yelled to get his attention and his head snapped to my direction. I waved him over and he ran towards me.

“I need you to make a clone of me, and then help pull Mr. Sugimoto out of the rubble while I’m lifting it up.” He nodded fervently at me and quickly made another clone of me. He nodded at me and ran off. I then looked back to Jin and directed him. “Grab under his armpits and pull while his legs are clear.” He nodded and I took a deep breath. I went over to the large pile of rubble and grabbed the largest piece at the bottom. I tried to pull it up, but could hardly move it at all. I took a deep breath again and let it out as a sigh. “Ok, I promised not to do any more crazy ideas, but I hope this won’t end badly for me.”

I started to charge my nerves and used ‘Nerve Control’ to force my body to lift the rubble. I then also forced my body to release large amounts of adrenaline to help increase my strength. “AHHH!!” I screamed as I lifted the rubble enough for Jin to drag the guy out. I dropped the rubble with a thud and panted. I was light headed and felt like I might pass out at any time. I sat down and kept gasping for air. It was then my double came over with a stretcher and some splints. He looked at me with confusion. “I don’t remember thinking of doing that.” He said to me almost angrily. I chuckled in between breaths. “I wasn’t either. I just hope I didn’t tear anything.” He scoffed and put the splits on Mr. Sugimoto, and then helped Jin put him on the stretcher. By then I was ok and nodded at my clone.

He gave me one last look to make sure and then nodded while sighing. “We never learn, do we?” I chuckled at him and shook my head. I was still too out of breath to talk. He sighed again and destroyed himself. We took the man back to the base some examinees had set up. We set him down after talking about his injuries and were about to leave until we heard a massive explosion. I suddenly had a flashback to the show. I then heard Deku yell out the name of the hero attacking us. “Gang Orca!”

Orca laughed a little like a villain and spoke in a large voice. “What’s your move… Heroes!?”
