Chapter 4

"Going to the Faculty office, Uraraka-chan?" Kaminari asks with a smile. Uraraka peeks out from a stack of notebooks too high for her to even see properly. "Ah, Kaminari-kun!" She says. Kaminari takes half of the books in her arms to his own and walks beside her. "Thanks for the help, Kaminari-kun!" Uraraka says with a smile. "It's always a pleasure to help a damsel in distress!" Kaminari replies and Uraraka raised an eyebrow. "You were quite the damsel when you were disqualified by both Tsuyu-chan and Yaomomo-chan." Uraraka jabs as Kaminari sinks to the floor in embarrassment.

"Uraraka-chan.. you're quite strong yourself aren't you, huh? You lasted till the last minute against them!" Kaminari says as they walked to the office. "Huh… I don't think so. I still have a long way to go! Everyone is still so strong and experienced…" Uraraka rubs her chin. "Even Bakugo had to protect me and I felt like a burden. I tried to be useful, but it ended up getting us disqualified." Uraraka sighs, thinking back to the moment. Kaminari shrieks as he blinks. "Bakugo sure is scary, huh? I almost died when he called me a useless trash who got eliminated first." Uraraka laughs in response, but it halts when they hear voices as the sliding door slides open.

"Ah the media is so annoying! Can't we just blow them to bits, Eraser?!" Present Mic yells, yellow spiky hair moving. Eraser sighs and crawls back into his yellow sleeping bag. "Let the PR representative handle it. Our jobs are to make sure the students are safe." Eraser replies sleepily. Present Mic grumbles something under his breath and clicks his tongue.

"Wait, is the media still outside?" Kaminari asks as he sets the stack of books down on the desk. Eraser and Present Mic look up from their desks, eyeing the two 1-A students. "It's been weeks and there still there! Why can't they give up!" Mic sighs. "Ever since word got out that All Might was teaching here they haven't stopped hanging in front of the school gates huh?" Uraraka asks, setting down the books in her hand on Eraser's desk.

"I heard from the seniors that unverified personnel can't enter the school due to its top-notch alarm systems. Is that true?" Kaminari asks, a curious facial expression as he sets a finger on his chin. "Ah, it is. The system goes into lockdown mode when trespassers enter the school. There are sensors everywhere." Present Mic replies calmly with a smirk. Aizawa raises an eyebrow. "Kaminari, isn't this common knowledge for every student at U.A?" Aizawa asks while Kaminari shrugs apologetically.

"Sensei, everyone knows that the school goes into lockdown mode, but I was curious if that means we can't get out of the school either?" Kaminari asks. Uraraka turns her head, blinking. "Ah, now that you mention it might be possible we'll get trapped inside the school until the alarm goes off." Uraraka replies. "Well, has that happened before, Eraser?" Present Mic asks. The two exchange glances and Aizawa speaks. "When the alarm rings-" A loud blaring arms send everyone on their toes and looks around the room.

Uraraka and Kaminari raise an eyebrow. "That alarm?" Kaminari asks.

"Security Level 3 Breach. Students please proceed to the Main Hall immediately. I repeat, Security Level 3 Breac-"

Aizawa and Present Mic sprint for the entrance, both Pro-heroes already on high alert. "You two, get back to class and gather in the Main Hall immediately!" Their teachers' words echo before the Faculty office is left with the two alone with the alarm blaring. "Ah." Uraraka says. "Ah." Kaminari replies. "THERE'S A SECURITY BREACH?!" Kaminari shouts. Uraraka sweats and glances around. "Let's hurry to the classroom, Kaminari-kun." Uraraka says, already at the entrance.

"Uraraka, you go on ahead to class. Find Iida and gather everyone, he's the class president, right?" Kaminari says, going towards the other end of the hallway. "What, wait – Kaminari-kun?" Uraraka asks, confused. "It's lunch rush time remember? Kirishima and the others are at the cafeteria! I need to make sure to go get them!" Kaminari shouts. Uraraka nods immediately and waves her hand in the air. "Be careful, Kaminari-kun! I'll see you at the hall!" Uraraka shouts before disappearing into the hallways.

As the alarm blares into life, a hand touches the handle of the faculty office entrance.

From what the students of 1-A heard, some of the media destroyed the school gates and the tripped the alarm system. No one was harmed fortunately but the school went into action and doubled the security as a consequence. Still, something did not felt right.

"Alright class, for today's Hero Basic Training class; it somehow ended up with three instructors – me, All Might and another instructor." Aizawa says lazily as the students raise their hands. Bakugo raises an eyebrow… three instructors for one class? That's a special case situation…

"What will we be doing?" Sero asks, a hand in the air. Aizawa takes a card out from the top of the table and shows it to the class. "Disasters, shipwrecks and everything in between. Today's class is all about the purpose of heroes, to rescue those in need." Everyone gapes and exchanges glances excitedly while Kaminari sweats nervously. "Rescue…?" Bakugo clicks his tongue. He wanted desperately for it to be a combat class, not rescuing weak, useless old ladies on the street.

"Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time, huh?" Kaminari whispers to Mina. "Totally seems like it!" Mina replies excitedly. "Idiot, this is the duty of a hero! Exactly what my quirk is made for!" Kirishima shouts, as if this was finally his purpose. "The training will be off-campus so get changed and ready, we'll be meeting in front of the bus stop."

The bus ride to the off-campus training ground is one filled with the tension of laughter and excitement. School has only started for about a month and all the students have not really gotten a chance to interact with each other. Even so, everyone is excited to finally have some time to talk before the real action starts. Most of the students are gathered in the middle of the bus, Bakugo choosing to seat at the back of the bus as he leaned against the window.

Five years passed by without him even blinking. He was on track to his dream, his goal, his purpose. Soon, Bakugo Katsuki would get his provisional hero license and he can finally, finally track down Deku. With the license obtained, he will be allowed to use his quirk in emergency situations which would most likely arise if he would be serious in undergoing his own investigations on… Villain Deku.

Bakugo has thought about the many reasons and possibilities that might have led up to the once innocent, weak green haired boy going down a complete opposite of a path he expected. The childhood friend who stood up against him to protect others…

"H-heroes shouldn't bully those without power, Kacchan!" Deku yelled, tears streaming down his face as he held his small and frail fists in the air.

…Who always helped others first without thinking…

"Are you okay, Kacchan?" Deku says as he extends a hand to Bakugo who tripped in the river.

….Who was every being deserving of a hero…

"Midoriya may be quirkless but he is more of a hero than you ever will be!" The red-haired boy shouts, tears in his eyes.

…..So how could someone who was so passionate for justice and to be a Hero become something so far from that?

"Why don't you just wish to be born with a quirk in your next life, Deku? Better yet, you could just jump off that bridge and make things quicker." Deku froze at his spot, lifeless eyes stared at the sky so dark and cold. Bakugo got up and turned his head, hands stuffed into his pockets and never looked back.

…maybe Bakugo had a hand in what Deku became after all.

The class arrives at the location with Pro-hero Thirteen to greet them. The class goes wild with excitement the moment they realize who was their third instructor for the day.

"Thirteen, where's All Might? He was supposed to meet us here." Aizawa asks, walking up to the pro-hero. The class raises an eyebrow and Kaminari narrows his eyes at the two pro-heroes. Thirteen whispers something into Aizawa's ear and the two sigh and straighten their backs. "Well.. we took precautions just in case." Aizawa whispers back and looks towards the students gathered in front of the entrance.

"It can't be helped, let's begin." Aizawa says and Thirteen gathers in front of them. "Hm, before we start the class I'd like to say one thing.. or two, or three, four, five…" Bakugo furrows his eyebrows and the class shakes their head. "Everyone, I am sure you're aware of my quirk – Black Hole. I can suck up anything and everything and turn it into dust. However, it is a power that can kill easily." Bakugo looks up to see the hero, flinching at the words.

A quirk that can kill easily… like his own.

"No matter how many times you try?! Does that mean you've been seriously trying to kill him all this time?!" The red-haired boy yelled.

Bakugo thinks back to the words of the boy in his class. He was right, he could have killed Deku any of those times that they fought.

"In a superhuman society, personal quirks have been certified and regulated stringently, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many quirks that could easily kill with one wrong step." Bakugo swallows a lump in his throat. "With Aizawa's personal fitness test, you were able to figure out the possibilities of your quirks. With All Might's combat training test, you experienced how dangerous it is to use your powers against others. With Midnight's teamwork combat class, you learned how to hone your own quirks and how it is compatible to others". Uraraka nodded, looking at Iida and Kirishima.

"This class is a fresh start. You shall learn how to use your quirks to save others. You do not have powers, so you can hurt others, rather I hope by the end of the class you have the understanding that your quirk exists to help those in need." Thirteen says with a bow and the class gives a round of applause. "That was great!" Uraraka shouts, the others gleaming in excitement and motivation.

"All right. let's start the class-" before Aizawa can finish his sentence, the overhead lights of USJ blink and go off. An air of tension fills the air and Aizawa is the first to react to it with his experience as a pro-hero all these years. Something black appears in the middle of the open space, a wormhole of sorts as a hand crawls out of it. Bakugo flinches at the sight, surely this wasn't part of the training… right?

"Gather together immediately! Thirteen, protect the students!" Aizawa shouts, stepping in front of the class in a defensive stance. "W-what's that?" Kirishima asks, raising an eyebrow at the sight of the wormhole. Someone crawls out of the dark, a figure with white hair and baggy clothes, a… palm covering his face. Then others follow, around thirty people follow behind him – all armed and looked menacing; every part of a villain. "Is it like the entrance exam where the training has already started?" Kirishima asked, trying to see further into the distance. "Don't move!" Aizawa yells back, a strict tone in his voice. Before the other students can react, the yellow goggles slip on his face and Bakugo knows from that one gesture – this was not a drill.

"Those are villains." The words are loud and clear. The class goes into shock, flinching in fear and nervousness. The hairs on Bakugo's arm go up but he maintains a neutral face. Villains attacked the training grounds, off-campus of U.A. – where they were most vulnerable and secluded from everyone.

But why… why them? Why now?

Before Bakugo could figure out a reason, a large enormous figure appears behind the white-haired man; somewhat a mixture of a bird and a man – a chimera. Then, his world stops when he spots green hair on a freckled face he would recognize anywhere.

"Deku." The whisper is so low and filled with fear that even he himself could not recognize. There in front of the multiple villains scattered; a boy his age with the same face from five years ago, as if he did not age in the past five years. Though even if he looked the same, Bakugo knew he was no longer the same innocent childhood friend he once knew.

Those innocent, justice filled eyes of him were now red and glowing filled with only hatred and a desire for destruction.

The eyes of a villain.
