We took the rest of the week off after the villain incident, giving the school time to up their security and the teachers to recover.
Ojiro and Hagakure spent the time at one another house, mostly discussing what happened not long ago.
"Okay- in my defense I reacted on pure instinct," the invisible girl said as she made hand gestures with her hands, only noticeable because of the black gloves she has made a habit of wearing daily,
"Pure instinct huh" Ojiro replied blandly as he nibbled on a potato chip
"YES, me and Shiggy (another nickname she came up for him) are used to arguing okay, he just knows how to push my buttons!"
He nodded in return as she continued to rant, not really paying much attention to the other teens' clear distress.
"-I mean come on, I didn't mean to say that in front of All Might let alone anyone else at school! Oh my god- how am I going to face them after this!?"
Ojiro decided to interrupt her before she has a breakdown "Never mind that, have you seen any of Shigaraki's streams or tweets lately?" he said deciding to change the subject before she has a breakdown.
"What do you mean, the teachers told us to block him and cut all contact," the other teen said, catching the bait as her mind wanders to the villain.
After the whole meeting, we were told to break off contact with the man. We made sure to text him a farewell beforehand which was answered with a 'fuck you' and a series of middle-finger emojis.
"You see, there's this thing called using another account" the girl's eyes widened before she smacked herself on the forehead. Although she's invisible, it's become easier to tell what kind of movements or expressions she's making.
"What did I miss out with our resident gamer villain?"
"So I heard the hero commission has been trying to take his account down, which kept on repeatedly failing, also only earned him more attention from the media. He wasted no time in abusing that fame whether it was bad or not, and wouldn't stop shitting on the hero commission, making tweets which revealed secrets about some of the bad shit they did behind closed doors"
He couldn't see it, but he imagined she was grinning "Good, never liked the hero commission anyways"
"Don't go saying that around in public or you're just painting a red flag on your bag, oh and there's more. The hero commission commented on it, saying it's all lies and whatnot, only for him to reply with and I quote 'this is why you all get no bitches and your dads left you. Nobody likes liars you two-faced cock suckers'" He said while imitating the villain's voice.
Kure frankly burst into laughter, choking on air as she tried to talk again "w-what the fuck- that was so out of pocket and somewhat immature- but not even gonna lie that's pretty funny" she said while taking deep breaths
"Right, the comments under that are even funnier, oh my god, it's a mix between people getting angry at the man or others surprisingly saying that they found his comment attractive...?" he said, voice filled with disbelief.
"pff- no- please j-just, wow"
"I know, I mean he would be attractive if he stopped dressing as if he lives in his mother's basement, tries lip balm for once, and stopped with the whole hand theme he has going on"
"You're not wrong- OH but his butler is hot not gonna lie" this confused Ojiro as he narrowed his eyes a bit at her
"Do you mean his babysitter?"
"What- no it's his butler! You can tell with him always wearing a suit and how he talks- which by the way is super attractive" she said while floundering hear hands around
"First of all, he's made out of the mist, second of all, he's more like a babysitter with how many times he's had to come in the room whenever he was face-timing us to calm him down from his usual tantrums after losing a game and third, some people just like wearing suits and I'm pretty sure it's just his uniform since Shigaraki mentioned that he lives in a bar or something"
Kure had a considering look "well, yeah, but he gives off so many butler vibes... plus why does it matter if he's made out of the mist? I'm invisible, are you saying that I'm ugly?" she said in mock offense.
"No no, you're right"
"That's what I thought," she said as she stole his bag of chips and continued to eat it while he sulked in the corner at losing his snack.
Fast forward to Monday, with the duo both standing in front of the entrance to their class, 5 minutes before the bell is supposed to go.
"Oh my god, just go in"
"No, I need to prepare myself!"
"You've been saying that for the past 10 minutes, we're going to get in trouble if we're caught waiting outside the entrance by Mr. Aizawa"
"Fine, you go in first then"
"What? No, lady's first"
"Excuse me? Never thought you'd be one to participate in toxic masculinity"
"What? Well excuse ME, that isn't very heroic of you to be accusing me of such a thing"
"Tell that to my nonexistent father"
"Keep your daddy issues out of this"
"Hey! I do not have daddy issues!"
"Sure, and I don't like Batman"
"Are you sure you don't have a bat kink with how much of a fan you are of him?"
"First of all, ew, second of all, what does that have to do with anything?"
Before she could reply, however, the sliding door was swung open by an angry-looking blond, aka Bakugou Katsuki.
"We can hear you two idiots through the door, just shut the fuck up and sit your mediocre asses down" the two of them froze, glancing at the rest of the class behind him who wore a mix of amused and curious expressions. Although some were also muffling their laughs.
"Well? Hurry the fuck up and go to your seats" the spiky-haired blond said as he went back to his respective seat. "Did someone in his family die or something" Kure whispered to Ojiro, although because of how quiet the classroom was, pretty much everyone heard her. She got a glare from the said boy, while others snorted before looking away when a glare was directed at them.
The two students walked to their seats which were next to one another, cheeks tinted with red from embarrassment.
Just in time, the bell rang and the door was once again swung open but this time by their dark-haired teacher who was covered in bandages. This surprised many of them since they remembered him being severely injured. The man brushed off any of their curiosity and worrying looks, getting straight to the point as he went on to talk a bit, making a very dramatic pause before finally announcing that the UA sports festival was coming up.
Cue their classmates excitingly talking about the said festival, holding a determined or nervous look in their eyes.
They were silenced by their mummified teacher who look more exhausted than annoyed. He asked them if they had any questions, which Ojiro did.
He raised his hand, all eyes turning to him as the teacher asked him what it was.
"Do you have to participate in the sports festival?" which earned many surprised looks from his classmates, and a curious look from his teacher.
"No, it's not a mandatory thing. Do you plan on not participating?"
"Yeah, me and Hagakure decided we'd rather sit this one and any future ones out since we plan on becoming underground heroes. Which by the way, wouldn't do us any good if our skills were showcased on the internet, not to mention after that villain attack last week"
Many students had expressions that dawned with understanding, as Mr. Aizawa only nodded.
"So you and Hagakure?" he turned to the said girl who replied with a 'yes'.
"Alright, I'll make sure to write that down, although I'll have to let you two know that because of this you're most likely not to get any invitations for internships under pro heroes after the festival, although everyone can still intern under some other choices I'd just like for you to be aware of this" this was news to the rest of the students, who either became more nervous or determined.
"That's fine, we have our connections" he rose a brow at that but didn't question it. The rest of the class were also curious but didn't say anything further as their teacher continued their usual school day routine.
When the bell rang for lunch, as the duo began to walk towards the rooftop, they were accompanied by Denki, Sero, Mina, Kirishima, and a pissed-off-looking Bakugou. So basically the whole 'Bakusquad' which the two came up for them ever since they noticed them all hanging out together more.
"Hey hey, do you two want to sit with us? I have so many questions I've been dying to ask!" The blond with a black lightning bolt decorated on his hair said as he walked alongside Ojiro. I wasn't unnerved by their presence, although I could tell the Kure was another story since she was surprisingly more anti-social than me.
"Uhm, I don't mind, Kure?" she hesitantly nodded, which you could only tell because of the bat-shaped hair accessory she wore on her head, which I gifted to her.
"Cool, so you guys usually hang out on the rooftop right?' he said going straight to the point while his friends were leaning by his shoulder, smiling at us.
"Yeah" I didn't bother asking how he knew that.
"Okay, well me, Sero, and Mina usually get our lunch from the cafeteria so we'll meet you and the others there, bye!" he said people up and left, leaving the four behind.
The following seconds were full of awkward silence as the duo walked alongside the redhead and blond towards their usual spot.
Walking up the stairs, Ojiro's mind wandered towards some topics he could talk about with the two. He knows that his invisible friend won't be much help. Turns out he didn't have to be the one to start talking, once the redhead, Kirishima, opened his mouth.
"So you two are planning on becoming underground heroes right? Like Mr. Aizawa?"
"Yeah, it's more suited for us since we don't particularly want to be in the spotlight" he nodded in admiration
"That's super manly of you guys to want to save people without getting any fame," he said a bit more passionate than the tailed teen expected
"Right, what kind of hero do you plan on being?" he said, not caring but wanting to continue the flow of the conversation as the four all found a spot on the roof, sitting down. He could tell that Bakugou did not want to be here with them, at all. 'Poor guy was probably forced to interact with us' he thought while refraining a snort.
"I want to be a hero like Crimson Riot, my favorite hero!" his eyes lit up in excitement, and he also noticed how Kure perked up by his answer.
"You like Crimson Riot?" the girl said, as she finally spoke up after being quiet for so long.
"Yeah! You like him too?"
"Do I like him?" she asked as if offended "Of course I do! he's like, one of my favorite heroes!"
The two went back and forth, talking about their favorite Crimson Riot fights, special moves, and whatever else hardcore fans like them talk about. He just decided to sit there, quietly amused by the duo's interaction while sipping on his chocolate milk. Bakugou was scowling but turned his gaze to his packed lunch with his usual scowl on his face.
He was honestly not surprised by the turn of events, he knew about his friend's fixation on certain heroes that stand out with their appearance and aura. Crimson Riot is one of them, with his bright spikey hair and fierce aura. She also loved All Might which was why she was so upset after how she acted in the USJ. Kirishima liking the red-haired hero shouldn't be surprising either with how he acts and looks. He has a small suspicion that maybe his hair is dyed. Just a small suspicion.
Before his thoughts could wander more, the sound of the roof's door opening and excited steps walking their direction snapped him back into reality. The rest of the 'bakusquad' returned, carrying their lunch as they rushed over to our spot, eyes darting from the duo whose excited chatter came to an end at their appearance, and then to both me and the angry blond beside me.
Ojiro sent the trio a smile at their arrival, before opening up my own lunch to eat as the other started talking with each other, kuro joining in now that she's more comfortable in their presence because of the spikey red haired teen.
"Say, how exactly did you guys know that villain back in the USJ?" Denki suddenly asked, getting hit on the head by the pink haired girl right after he finished "remember what Mr. Aizawa said! You aren't allowed to ask either of them about that" Denki pouted a bit, but still turned his curious gaze onto Ojiro.
Ojiro didn't really mind talking about it, Kure also looked like she didn't mind much with how she eyed the two with amusement.
"Well, I sort of became friends with him him after I commented on some of his videos and streams. Kure sort of just joined in on commenting on his videos and streams, and all of a sudden we ended up with all three of us in a groupchat" he simply said, taking a bite out of his lunch after plainly explaining everything to the blond.
"Kure?" Mina spoke up from her spot next to Denki "you gave her a nickname? That's so cute! Can I call you Kure?" She said, turning to the invisble girl.
Said girl didn't hesitate with her reply "No"
"Aww, why not?" the pink-themed teen questioned as she visibly wilted at the blunt rejection.
"I only let my closest friend call me that, I barely know you so sorry" she replied, voice sincere.
Mina huffed before grabbing her phone out of her pocket and shoving it into the other girls hand after unlocking her lock-screen "Here, put your number in my contacts and then we can talk more and become close friends!" she declared as the other girl took her phone and did as instructed, expression hard to tell since she was invisible. Although Ojiro suspected she was smiling at the others actions.
"This is stupid, I don't know why I'm sitting with these extras" Bakugou finally said as he stood up with his lunch in his hands. His friends (although he'd deny it) sent him looks to back off, but he continued
"Just because you're familiar with some villains doesn't mean shit. You and everyone else is just a stepping stone for me to pass before I become number one" he finished off his rant by glaring at both the tailed teen and invisible girl before storming off.
'What's his deal' Ojiro thought, glancing towards his best friend for her reaction, he noticed the angry aura radiating around her. 'She looks like she's about to pounce on him' he smirked in amusement at the image of a see-through figure tackling the pomeranian-looking teen.
"Sorry about that guys, he can have major mood swings but he's actually cool if you get to know him" Kirishima quickly said to the duo before running back up to the spikey-haired blond who was walking towards the exit to try and talk to him.
"Yeah, he's like that with all of us so don't worry" Denki added, while staring off at the duo in disbelief.
"Boom-boom boy is just jealous because of all the attention you two are gaining" Mina laughed, patting the tailed boy's back to reassure him.
"Ugh, I barely even talked to him and I already can't stand him" the translucent girl said from her spot as she continued to glare at the dissapearing figure of Bakugou. Denki and Mina only laughed at her response, giving her understanding nods.
"I already expected him to have such a short-temper even without being triggered so I don't really mind" Ojiro said boredly, as he continued to eat his food. For some reason he felt as if Kure rolled her eyes at him, which he promptly ignored. The other two only blinked at him in interest
'really hope I don't get to deal with him again though' he thought to himself as the others continued to talk about anything that came to mind.
