Aoyama could feel the questioning gazes on his back. With the provisional license exam within a week, and because he was Yuga Aoyama, everyone was confused as to why he was flipping through books so furiously. On top of that, Oijro and Hagakure were right next to him and flipping through the strangest books.

"Aoyama, it's nice to see you make an effort to study, but you do know that we should be training physically instead right? After all, the provisional license exams are next week. The same goes for you two," Momo said.

"W-We're just reading books to brush up our techniques!" Hagakure said hastily, "Nothing suspicious going on here!"

Momo gave one exasperated look at the titles that they were reading. Aoyama shoved his Counting by Sevens book underneath his journal. Hagakure hastily closed her thick All Might history book, and Oijro tried to keep a straight face as he continued to read Conspiracies around Seven.

"Well, don't sleep too late," She sighed.

"Good night, Momo!"

"Bonsoir!"

"Night."

Right after Momo left the library area, the three of them launched into a rapid-fire conversation.

"Okay, so in this book that I'm reading, named Conspiracies around Seven, there was a conspiracy theory around this rapper named Tupac. He was shot on September 7th; but he survived on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and officially "died" the 13th. Because of this, people named it the 7 Day Theory. In addition, the rapper's album All Eyes on Me was released on February 13, 1996. Tupac "died" on September 13, 1996," Oijro said.

"Why is his album release date relevant?" Hagakure asked.

"It is quite a coincidence that the two dates are exactly 7 months apart. Also, Tupac officially died at 4:03 PM. Hour four, and minute three. If you add four plus three, then you get seven. If you're still not convinced, he was 25 years old when he officially "died". Two plus five is seven."

"Monsieur, are you saying Midoriya is Tupac?"

"No, I'm just implying that maybe Tupac's situation is similar to Midoriya's," Oijro said.

"Alright, so I still have the other journal from our previous reset," Hagakure said, "Aoyama, can you get that for me?"

Aoyama reached over and nabbed the gray leather book. He flipped to the pink bookmark and presented it to Oijro.

"So Aoyama and I found out everything we could about Izuku- He was born on July 15th, and he's 16 right now. He's 166 centimeters, which is around 65 inches, or 5 foot 5 inches. He's number 18 in our student-"

"Wait. Is there anything that specifically gives a clue to the number seven?" Oijro interrupted.

"Well, other than he ranked 7th in the U.A. exam and that he was born in July... Non non non, we don't have enough information," Aoyama said.

All of three had large frowns etched on their mouths. Every lead they had was either left unconfirmed or it was a dead end. Hagakure couldn't help but feel tears of frustration prick at the corners of her eyes. Looking at her friends, she saw the same defeated looks on their faces.

"Maybe... The amount of resets you go through correlates to which reset you saw Midoriya die," Hagakure said, "That kinda makes sense, right?"

At their confused look, she went on to explain her theory.

"See, maybe Sato went through seven resets before forgetting was because he saw Midoriya die on the sixth reset. That would make sense, wouldn't it?"

"Peut-être..." Aoyama said.

"If you're right, then how did Midoriya forget the rest of the resets? This would only be possible if he was watched himself die the first time," Oijro shuttered, "And that's really awful if you think about it- Someone must've forced himself to watch..."

Grim looks were exchanged.

"So what happens if the person preventing that day forgot? Does that mean that Midoriya will remember again? That's plutôt bien if you think about it," Aoyama said.

"No. Midoriya is the type of selfless guy that would take a bullet for a fly. He'll probably over-analyze the resets," Hagakure said.

"Vrai, He might even think it's a quirk and it's unlimited..." Aoyama said.

"Oijro, what are your thoughts?"

The French boy and the invisible girl turned towards their friend. He had his eyes glazed over in deep thought and fingers drumming the table rhythmically. He had a faraway look on his face and only snapped back to reality when Hagakure put a hand on his shoulder.

"What if Midoriya runs out of resets and stays dead? What if he dies because of some stupid mistake that we made? What if there are villains who also witnessed the resets? What if half the class already knows? What if Midoriya himself already knows?"

They stared at Oijro in increasing alarm as he continued to ask questions.

"What if someone decides to abuse that quirk? What if that All for One person gets their hands on Midoriya-"

"Slow down and breathe, Oijro."

At this, the blond boy took a big gulp of air.

"Sorry, Aoyama, Hagakure. I have a tendency to ask childish questions when I'm feeling anxious," Oijro apologized.

"-Pas de soucis-"

"It's fine. Anyways, I don't think we should tell anyone about this... I don't want to say this, but I'm pretty sure that there's a traitor in our class," Hagakure said.

Aoyama shot her a horrified look and Oijro's tail stiffened.

"It would make sense. I mean, Sensei's been watching us too closely lately, and there's been an increase of mind quirks near our dorms lately. If we didn't have a traitor, then we wouldn't have been ambushed during our USJ simulation or during the summer. I don't want anyone to know about Midoriya's power since they could potentially abuse it," Hagakure explained.

"Makes sense..."

"Hm..."

A blanket of uneasy silence coated them. Aoyama realized that even the two people in front of him could be potential traitors, they could be waiting for the right moment to hand over Midoriya. Even though he tried to squash his suspicions down, he still couldn't get rid of the troubled thoughts that were running through his head.

Buzz.

The three of them whipped their heads towards the sound of the noise. Aoyama's phone screen lit up and he scrambled to unlock it.

"I just got a text from an unknown number."

They watched as Aoyama's face went from confusion to terror. Hagakure scrambled to get behind him to read the text message, and Oijro worriedly looked at the phone. Hagakure's uniform uneasily shifted.

"The text message said 'Two hours till reset.'"
