Chapter 12: Aftermath
Now, Hero Basic Training was over. Both classes of 1-A and 1-C returned to their homeroom to finish off the day before the end of the school day.
Class 1-A are bustling with chatter, but it wasn't as loud as it usually is. To note a few examples, Momo found that Jirou had been awfully quiet since she returned from Recovery Girl's office.
"Jirou?" She asked.
Jirou got startled a bit, but got relaxed when it was just Momo.
"What is it?" Jirou asked calmly.
"You've been silent." Momo commented. "And the only other time you were this quiet was when-"
"When Kaminari was absent because of a cold." Jirou finished for her.
Jirou blushed when she said it though. Momo, realizing the implications, smiled, and just patted her friend's back.
Jirou wasn't the only one though. Deku had also been looking at the seat in front of him for a while.
"Worried?" Uraraka called.
Deku turned his head to see Uraraka. She had her hand on her stomach folded together, and also showing worry for a certain flamehead.
"Yeah…" Deku replied solemnly.
However, Aizawa entered the room to give out some last-minute updates before school ends. But he wasn't alone. Behind him, walked in Kaminari and Bakugou.
"Kaminari!" Jirou called out.
Kaminari waved lightly, as he took his seat next to Jirou. Bakugou, on the other hand, just sat down without a word spoken to him. He was holding his side the whole time, as the bandages have stopped the bleeding, but the pain was still there. Aizawa cleared his throat and spoke.
"Alright." He started. "So, let me ask you a question."
Everyone quieted down. Aizawa normally doesn't get this kind of response quickly, but this the quietness would make things much easier.
"Before you go, I would like to know your opinions on Class 1-C." Aizawa asked. "Nothing major, just a little tidbit of your experience with them."
Everyone sighed. It has been a rough day, and it would be nice just to relax and just talk. So, after a bit of talking, they began to speak. Iida was the first one.
"Well, as we only fought them on duos, we can't say much about them personally." He explained. "I only wish for them to fulfill their dreams of becoming Heroes!"
Following that, all of the other students went on one by one on their opinions on Class 1-C. When that was over, Aizawa made the usual closing remarks, such as doing homework, training, and the sorts. After that, class was dismissed, and all of the students left U.A.
Deku, Uraraka, and Iida walked out together, and they saw Akira and Sakura out together right by Akira's Lamborghini. What surprised them was that the two students of Class 1-C seemed to have made up, as they kissed each other before leaving. Deku smiled at that, while Uraraka took a curious look at Deku. Iida asked Uraraka what she was doing, but she denied doing anything.
When the three reached an intersection, they said goodbye, and separated. Surprisingly for Iida, he ran into Fumiko, who recovered from her exhaustion. It turned out that she lived in the same neighborhood as Iida. The two talked together fondly as they went home together.
Meanwhile, Jirou walked home on her own, while listening to her music. On her way, she ran into Miku, her childhood friend as well as her opponent from earlier. The two hit it of very well, as they talked about a lot of things. One of those things might've made Jirou blush a bit.
Back in U.A., Principal Nezu was just looking through some documents. As he was wrapping up, there was a knock on his door.
"It's open." He called out.
Then, opening the door, stepped in Star Saber. He bowed respectfully, and sat down on one of the couches that he had. Nezu, smiling, happily poured him a glass of tea, and sat down across from him.
"Thank you for meeting with me." He said. "I'm sure your schedule is quite something."
"Of course." Star Saber replied, taking a sip of the tea.
"How was your first day with the students?" Nezu asked.
Star Saber gently put his tea down, and spoke his mind.
"They are an exceptional group of youths." He replied truthfully. "However, some are skewed in their paths. I just hope I can provide the teachings necessary for them to be greatest generation of Pro Heroes."
Nezu closed his eyes and sighed proudly.
"Eloquently said, Star Saber." He answered. "It's no wonder All Might speaks highly of you."
Star Saber chuckled, and finished his tea. With that over, he stood up and took his leave. Nezu did the same, only wrapping up a few things before leaving as well. This batch of U.A. first-years will deliver quite the show.
