Chapter 30. The Day After
Well after revealing the secrets of my quirk and some of my psyche I guess principal Nezu decided that I wasn’t a threat. I went home, ate 4 packages of instant ramen, and promptly passed out on my bed. Waking up the next morning was much better than in that hospital bed. Slowly getting up, I realized I still have a lot of soreness all over. “Well we should have a day or two before anything practical.
I went to school, and on my way to class I feel stares everywhere I go. ‘It’s just them talking about the villain attack, not your emotional break calm down.’ I calmed myself while enduring the gazes I was getting. I open the class door to be met with more gazes. Worry, interest, fear, anger. The thing that surprised me the most was that anger was coming from three sources Bakugo(Obviously), Momo, and Jiro. ‘Great, probably mad I left them to take care of themselves. More thugs didn’t rush them down did they?’
I sighed and took my seat under constant stares, and glares. Relaxing in my chair to try and ease my sore body, I waited for class to begin. After a few minutes the bell rang and Aizawa came into the room. Only one arm was in a cast, and his face wasn’t mummified so that was good. He began class to tell us about the upcoming U.A. Sports Festival. Momo explained to Mineta that we will be scouted to become side-kicks, while the rest of the class was celebrating at the opportunities and the fun they might have during the Festival
After class was over everyone was pumped up for this, and I was kinda happy nobody was dwelling on the villain attack. Ida was talking to Deku. “This will be our chance to put ourselves on the map. Doesn’t that excite you Midoriya?” “Well umm… yea but” Then Uraraka slowly got their attention as well as my own with that look. “Let’s do our best.” “What happened to your face!” Deku couldn’t help but scream, getting others' attention. She then yelled while pumping her fist in the air “Let's go!”
After class Deku, Ida, Uraraka, and I got onto the conversation of why Uraraka wants to be a hero. Turns out it was money for her parents to live a better life. ‘I swear I don’t think even Gandhi was as nice as both Midoriya, and Uraraka.’ I smiled at her “I think that is a wonderful reason. The whole idea of a hero is to help others over yourself. I’m not sure I can think of a better way than being a hero, and sending the money you get for it to people you care about.”
The group was stunned and Uraraka started grinning at being complimented for her purpose. Then Midoriya started to talk. “Why do you-” “Young Midoriya! Would you care to have lunch with me!?” I couldn’t help but laugh with Uraraka on this one, it really did sound like he was asking Deku out on a date. They both left while Uraraka, Ida, and I went to the cafeteria.
After school was over just outside of our classroom door, many students from the rest of the school were all here looking at the students who survived a villain attack. It only took Bakugo three seconds to antagonize everyone. Then out of the crowd I see a very underrated character. ‘Shinso’ I smiled as I saw him as he declared war on our class. I stood up very loudly to get everyone's attention. And I quickly walked over to Shinso and stood in front of him.
“What? Are you gonna try and tell me you’re the best? That we have no chance? I chuckle and shake my head. “No, I just wanted to tell you something.” I say with a smile, and proceed to get myself close to his ear to whisper. “I know what your quirk is, and I won’t tell the others, I have secrets about my own quirk that I don’t like telling people about either. But I want you to use it on me. I need to test something about my quirk, and you're the perfect person to do that.”
