Chapter 2
"The aftermath"
It has been one week since the now famous battle of All Might and his arch nemesis One for all. After the incident of the kidnapping and the successful rescue of U.A student Katsuki Bakugo life has returned to a strange form of peace in which many citizens are unsure of their own future. Local news media refuses to confirm or comment the death of the symbol of peace in order to keep mass hysteria from ensuing but most civilians saw the carnage that took place with their very own eyes and the truth cannot be denied. As for the students of U.A themselves classes have resumed as normal but a sense of unease fills the air as not only the most famous pro hero is missing but uncharacteristically a student is missing classes as well. The classroom of one 1-A act like any other at the end of a regular day of study with students talking and conversing loudly, but unlike other classes these students are fearful of their own futures for not only has a fellow classmate been absent for a whole week security in the school has been increased to due fear of an uprising villain activity as a result of the symbol of peace's passing. The class's homeroom teacher Aizawa Shota gives his final announcement for the week with his classic cold an uncaring demeanor. Aizawa speaks in a calm lackadaisical voice "All right everyone settle down the faster we get through this the faster we can all go home and the faster I can get to my afternoon nap". The students quiet down to hear their teacher's announcement.
"So the other pros as well as the schoolboard have agreed to confirm and go public with what you might already know, that regrettably All Might was indeed killed in his final battle." The classroom fills with anxious whispers of the students. "Now I want to assure you kids that your safety is all of us heroes' first priority, while we might see an increase in villain activity over the coming days classes will continue as normal in order to ensure that kids become full pros worthy of All Might's name. With that being said be sure to take extra caution as not only will it be likely that you students may be targeted by the "league of Villains" ,and probably more annoyingly the media as they want to get any gossip worthy info about the current situation as they can get their hands on. Remember that everything you say and do not only affects the schools name and image but as students of All Might as well. You kids are the future of our society and as heroes it's our job to ensure we keep the peace not just for us but for all citizens.
Every single one of them is looking towards us to keep them safe just like their symbol of peace would so let's not allow his sacrifice to be in vein." The entire class sits looking nervous as a feeling of uncertainty fills the air. Aizawa while watching his student's sunken expressions lets out a sigh and says to himself. "Damn I never was the type of person to be good at these kinds of inspirational speeches. I might've just made everything worse". Uraraka sitting in the back of the classroom looks over to her friend Midoriyas' empty desk and with a worried expression on her face she raises her hand.
"Um sir…has there been any news about if de- I mean Midoriya will be coming back soon? He hasn't been in class for a while is he ok?" Aizawa looks to her and replies "unfortunately we haven't received any information regarding when Midoriya will be coming back to class. You've asked this every day since he's been absent, he's probably just sick or something so get off my back already". "But Mr. Aizawa it's so unlike him to miss even a single day of cla-". Uraraka is immediately interrupted by Lida jumping up out of his seat practically screaming
"I AGREE SIR AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS ESTEEMED ACADAMEY I CANNOT CONDONE A STUDENT MISSING CLASS FOR EVEN A SINGLE DAY ESPECIALLY DURING SUCH TRYING MATTERS AS THIS! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!"
"So uptight…" The other students murmur.
The class looks back to Aizawa to see him already putting on his sleeping back and falling over "fine if you're so worried about him you check on him".
"He's falling asleep?!" the class yells in surprise
Ejiro Kirishima stands up to face the other students in class. "Guys he's right we all know Izuku was like All Might's biggest fan ever, no wonder he's not here he's probably sitting at home blaming himself for not being able to save him! I say we all go to his house and get him to come back All might wouldn't want even a single one of us to get left behind" Uraraka gets up to meet Kirishima at eye level. "That's a great idea Kirishima lets all go together and throw him a big party I'll get a cake and everything. The entire class rises up in excitement for their party the aura of despair that filled the classroom moments ago was gone in an instant. Kirishima extends his hand to Bakugo who is still sitting at his deck glaring down trying to ignore everyone. "Come on man you've known Izuku the longest out of everyone here right? You've got to come too."
Bakugo immediately smacks Kirishimas' hand away without even looking at him before getting up and walking out of the classroom angrily muttering to himself. "I don't give two shits about that damn nerd or the fact that his plan got me away from the villains. I don't owe that damn weakling anything". As Bakugo leaves the door slams behind him the other students awkwardly watching as he exits in a fit of rage. Hours later the class walks together towards the Midoriya household the sweet looking cake being carried by Uraraka. "Hey Llida do you think Deku would like this I wasn't sure about getting chocolate or vanilla?'' "I'm sure he'll be happy just to see you Uraraka don't worry so much about the cake" Uraraka begins to blush at the thought. As the class continues to walk Lida turns to everyone to say "everyone thank you for coming I know that things might seem bleak right now with everything happening in the world but with that being said we've already beaten the league of villains back twice already and some us have beaten villains on our own without the aid of any pro heroes that being said I know that if we all stick together well be able to get through anything are you with me?" The entire class gives a loud cheer as they begin to move into a sprint eager to see their dear friend. "Last one there doesn't get any cake" Kirishima cries. As the class turns the corner excitedly and without hesitation a surprise that no one could foresee stands before them. The class stops in place as police tape blocks the way. Uraraka in shock drops the cake on the ground and covers her face trying to hide her shock. "D-Deku what happened here?!" Uraraka cries and from beyond the police tape and multiple groups police the only thing in visual is a large crater of ash where their classmates house once stood and a person they recognize is being carried into an ambulance…that person being Midoriya Izukus own mother.
