The day following class the class election sees them loading onto a bus to go across campus to a facility for rescue training.

Shouto takes the opportunity to study his classmates as they wait to load the bus, He watches Uraraka comment on Midoriya's change of costume to his gym uniform. Eyeing the pair curiously before finding his attention drawn to Bakugou.

Bakugou, it seems, is not happy at the blushing stuttering mess Midoriya is becoming the longer he talks to Uraraka.

A single eyebrow goes up at that.

Shouto glances between the two, wondering why his confirmed soulmate is acting so jealous toward a fellow classmate.

There is supposed to be a third member of their soulmate trio and Bakugou and Midoriya did go to middle school together.

Come to think of it Midoriya always left an undershirt on in the locker room, not unlike Shouto. It was something a lot of people that have soulmates did for privacy's sake. The thing is, they are the only two that do it.

The only part of the soulmark left for the third member of their trio though is the sword.

Some part of Shouto finds it curious that the timid green-haired boy could be a sword. Then again, Bakugou was a heart, so maybe there really isn't a correlation between the image and the personality.

Suddenly those teasing comments about nicknames yesterday seems a lot more telling.


Katsuki is grinding his teeth in frustration at not coming to the conclusion made by the frog girl.

Deku's quirk is a lot like AllMight's.

His mind drifts back to the creepy guy on the beach. He said he had passed his quirk on to Deku. That they had trained for almost a full year to prepare his body to accept the quirk.

He wants to lash out, to demand answers from Deku about just who that creep is.

"If we're talking strong and flashy quirks though, it's got to be Bakugou and Todoroki."

"Huh?" Katsuki looks toward the shitty red-head sitting in front of him on the bus. Not quite sure how he was dragged into this conversation.

"He's always so angry all the time though, he won't be very popular."

"What the hell, do you wanna fight?"


Those idiots, jumping in instead of leaving it to the pro. Bakugou had nearly given him a heart attack pulling that stunt.

Shouto takes the time to look around himself as he gets to his feet after being warped away from the rest of the class.

"Looks like we got one to play with."

A thin trail of steam wafts out of Shouto's mouth as his temperature lowers in preparation for using his quirk.

These amateurs don't stand a chance.

Shouto is quick to unleash his ice, ensnaring the villains nearby in ice.

Even as he has them all at his mercy, interrogating them for information on their plan, his mind is occupied with concern for Bakugou.

Or is he more worried about Midoriya.

Bakugou has shown himself to be capable of handing himself in combat. His showing in training the other day proves that.

Midoriya on the other hand, he's shown that desperation makes him reckless. A reckless Midoriya is a Midoriya that will use his quirk and break bones.

Shouto still isn't one hundred percent sure that Midoriya is the third, but he's certain enough that he won't dismiss the idea outright.

Now that he has the villains' plans, he leaves them and heads for the plaza where Aizawa is most likely still fighting the main mass of them.

It would be best to get this information to his teacher before things become worse.


Katsuki is taking out his anger on the villains attacking them.

He just knows that Deku is somewhere out there, surrounded by fucking villains and the idiot won't think twice about injuring himself, especially if there are others with him.

"Graaagh! Die!"

Shitty hair is at least holding his own.

"Alright, let's go save the others. I'm worried about the guys with less offense. As men we have to take responsibility for getting in Thirteen's way."

Without even glancing at Kirishima, Katsuki clenches his fist. "I'm going to destroy that warp gate." Even though this is what he says, he knows it's more because the warp gate will be at the center of things and that's where Deku will run to given the first opportunity.

"What? Come on our attacks couldn't even leave a scratch on that guy."

"Shut up!" Katsuki get into Shitty Hair's face. "That gate bastard's the enemy's way in and out. I'm gonna cute off their getaway for when the pros get here."

And if that means being nearby when Deku shows up to be an even bigger idiot, than Katsuki won't be complaining.
