A few weeks have passed since the traumatic first year field trip, and everything slowly went into a new normal. Takeda, understandably, took two weeks off to recover. Coach took his place as a substitute for class 1A. News of Uravity's injury spread like wildfire, as she was the number one fan loved hero. She made it back into action, much to the relief of class 1A and the entire public.
Meanwhile, within the confines of class 1A, everyone has noticeably become closer. When a class meets a life or death situation, they tend to gravitate towards each other. Even social outcasts Kageyama and Tsukishima have joined in real conversations by adding their opinions. Of course, the opinions weren't the most appreciated by their peers, but that never stopped them.
And, most importantly, tension between certain people has heightened. Kageyama and Hinata, everyone expected the tension between them to thicken. They were always fighting, glaring at, and insulting each other, even before they officially met. Now, it seemed like they were more comfortable with each other. The amount of insults has lowered, and the fighting seemed more good-natured.
Yamaguchi had, surprisingly, stopped talking to Tsukishima as much as he did before. He would sometimes carry a short conversation with the taller boy, before hurrying off with a bright red face. It was such an intense red at one point, that Takeda sent the poor boy to Recovery Man's office. He was sent back to the classroom with nothing more than a pat on the head and a saltine.
Yachi had spent her weeks with Shimizu at their training sessions. She definitely had started getting better at truly controlling her quirk, even if it meant accidentally hurting Shimizu. Yachi seemed more confident in her abilities, however.
Sadly, the police and pro heroes hadn't figured out who was behind the USJ attack. They argued for hours and still didn't have a solution to their problem.
"It was insane, is what it was!" Coach bellowed. "They attacked in broad daylight, almost killed a couple of pro heroes, and were defeated by untrained children!"
"We have one of them in custody," the police chief explained calmly. "He said that there was a mastermind behind this."
"Of course there is," number eighteen hero, Pinky, said. "It's just like when the League of Villains attacked my class in my first year."
Chargebolt, number twenty-three hero, nodded beside her. "A bunch of low quality villains with some crappy quirks never get together and beat up a top ten pro hero and a class of heroes in training, not unless they're working for someone with a larger goal in mind."
Pipe Bomb, who was in the meeting on behalf of Uravity, cleared her throat. "When two of our students came back to us, they said that the villains were there for either Shoyo Hinata or Tobio Kageyama, two of the students there." She put two pictures on the the table, one of Hinata, and another of Kageyama.
"But why a student?" the police chief asked.
"That little redhead is a friendly guy," Coach answered. "He talks to anyone who'd listen. If he talked to someone and bothered them enough, he could've painted a target on his own chest. And Kageyama's a little pain in the-"
"If that's the case, then we should at least put a security detail on them," Chargebolt suggested.
"It seems like these villains are ballsy, though," Coach corrected. "I don't think it's best to keep a hero away from their duties, especially if they're gutsy enough to attack heroes in broad daylight. Besides, these guys waited to attack until after the class was in a location with less security. It was just Pipe Bomb and Uravity there that day, plus Protector."
Pinky bit her lip, turning to the green haired hero at the end of the table. "Deku, you're the number one hero. What do you think we should do?"
The man opened his large, round green eyes. "I don't know." He looked around at the eyes turned to him, and his freckled cheeks flushed. "When the League of Villains was after All Might, All Might could fight back for the most part, until he needed heroes to take his place." He placed a hand on his mouth, tapping his top lip. "But this new group is after a student. He can fight back, and he also has heroes and heroes in training ready to protect him. I say we leave him be for now."
