I was sitting in my desk when Ochaco goes to leave and opens the door and says, "U-Um, why the heck are you all here?"

Tenya says, "Do you students have some sort of business with our class?"

Mineta asks, "Why are you blocking our doorway? I won't let you hold us hostage!" I roll my eyes putting a hand to my face. You were scared shitless at the USJ and now you show a little courage? You are weird.

Bakugo says, "They're scouting out the competition, idiots. We're the class that survived a real villain attack. They wanna see us with their own eyes."

Izuku says, "Let's just hope he doesn't explode anybody."

Bakugo continues, "At least now you know what a future pro looks like. Now move it, extras."

I lift my head and a few people turn seeing my braid going into the air because of me activating Erasure. Tenya says, "You can't walk around calling people 'extras' just because you don't know who they are!"

A boy with purple hair says, "So this is Class 1-A. I heard you guys were impressive, but you just sound like an ass."

I stand up and say, "Bakugo. Shut it before you make enemies that can't be afford to be made."

Bakugo turns to me and says, "Shut up, Cara. You may have faced the villains at the USJ head on because Aizawa allowed you but you don't have the right to tell me what to do."

I glare and then blink my eyes deactivating Erasure. I sit back down after rolling my eyes and put my head down listening to them. The boy continues, "Is everyone in the hero course delusional, or just you?"

Bakugo growls and I again lift my head to watch him ready to activate Erasure at a moments notice. The boy says, "How sad to come here and find a bunch of ego maniacs. I wanted to be in the hero course, but like many others here, I was forced to choose a different track. Such is life. I didn't cut it the first time around, but I have another chance. If any of us do well in the sports festival, the teachers can decide to transfer us to the hero course. And they'll have to transfer people out to make room." The others gulp as he continues, "Scouting the competition? Maybe some of my peers are, but I'm here to let you know that, if you don't bring your very best, I'll steal your spot right from under you. Consider this a declaration of war."

I stand up and say to him, "You sure have dedication. If you bring less than your A game then you'll have spoken out of turn. Remember though that it is very unlikely for students to be transferred. A student from another course hasn't been transferred into the hero course in 10 years at least. Don't be like Bakugo there. Don't let your head get too big before you make it to the finish line." I sit back down and continue looking at him but he and Bakugo just continue glaring at each other.

All of the sudden a voice says, "Hey, you! I'm from Class 1-B next door to you! We heard you fought some villains, and I came to see if that was true. But you're just a bunch of brats who think you're better than us!" I roll my eyes and let my head thud onto the desk hard wanting them to go away already. He continues, "Talk all you want! It'll just be more embarrassing when you're KO'd." Bakugo walks away causing the boy to scream, "Don't you ignore me!"

Kirishima says trying to stop him, "Dude, where are you going? You gotta say somethig. It's your fault they're all hating on us, Bakugo."

Bakugo stops and turns slightly towards Kirishima saying, "These people don't matter."

Kirishima says, "Huh?"

Bakugo says, "The only thing that's important is that I beat them."

The boy from Class 1-B says, "Hey! I'm comin' for you!"

Kirishima growls and says, "I hate that, that was such a manly exit."

Kaminari says, "Huh? Huh?!"

Sato says, "You said it."

Tokoyami says, "We have to beat them, he wasn't wrong."

Kaminari says, "Yeah, sure, but this sucks! He made us everyone's enemies."

Mineta says, "Yeah, that's right! All of these dumb students will be gunning for us in the festival now!"

I stand up and say, "Kaminari, Mineta, Class 1-A is always targeted by other classes. Being considered the 'top hero course' has always made it that way. Despite Bakugo's ego, he is correct. We have to beat them which means that we have to bring our A game and show them that it wasn't a mistake that we were chosen for Class 1-A." My face goes from being passive to being determined as I continue, "It's time to show the world who we are. No matter what. Remember you're motivation to become a hero and it will be able to add more fuel to your fire."

Kaminari says, "Since when were you so good at motivating others, Cara?" I just smile at him and sit back down.

Finally the students at the door leave and I am the last person in the class left. I stand up and grab my bag and head out the door shutting it behind me and meeting dad at the car.

He asks, "What took so long?"

I say, "Other students blocked the door. Bakugo made the other classes hate us but it won't make much difference. Class 1-A is always targeted though I now want to watch a kid with purple hair that looks really tired. Not sure what class he's in but he seems determined. If anyone from the non-hero course are a threat his determination sets him apart. He'll be one to watch." With that dad drives home and I go train more.
