- Chapter 3: Meeting - Training time -
Midoriya and Nagisa walked down the hallway in the direction of the former's current class. On the way, Nagisa asked Midoriya what the educational system was like in U.A High School.
"Hmm...I wouldn't say it strays too far from a normal school," Midoriya said.
"Okay, but what exactly do you guys learn about here?" Nagisa asked, "Do you only get taught about things involving how to be a hero or are there other aspects you look into?"
They made a turn around a corner before Midoriya answered.
"Well, we do still have your general subjects, like English, Maths and History, but along with that normal side of education, we also learn how to be heroes," he explained, "For example, we have training sessions, back in May, we got to choose our hero names and design our costumes, and back in September, we managed to get pass our provisional hero license exam, allowing us to perform hero activities in emergencies."
"Wow, seriously?"
Midoriya nodded, "Yeah, on top of that, we're taught by real Pro-Heroes! In fact, the two teachers we just spoke to are heroes themselves, well Aizawa-sensei is, All Might isn't anymore..."
Nagisa noticed Midoriya's wavelength became uneasy. He wondered why.
"Did...something happen?" Nagisa asked carefully.
"Well, he recently retired," Midoriya scratched his cheek.
"Was he a great hero?"
"Oh yeah!" Midoriya lit up, "He was the Number One Hero, the Symbol of Peace! Fighting crime with a smile on his face!" Midoriya's eyes sparkled, "I've been looking up to him since I was a kid! And when I finally got to meet him in person, I swear I thought I was dreaming!" his eyes then softened, "He's definitely had a huge impact on my life here at U.A, in fact, I don't think I could've come here...if it weren't for All Might."
"So, you're saying that he's an inspiration to you, and you look to him for advice and support?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Honestly, I owe him a lot," the greenet said, "That's why I will try my best to work hard and give it my all so one day, I can be an amazing hero just like him!"
"I see," Nagisa's expression became unreadable. When Midoriya talked about All Might, the former hero reminded him of someone similar in his life. He wondered if the others were worried about the blunet's absence.
'Probably,' Nagisa thought, a sad smile forming on his face, 'It must be hard for everyone wondering where I am. If only there is a way I could contact them...'
"Nagisa?"
The blunet snapped out of his thoughts to look up at the greenet. Midoriya returned a confused expression.
"Is everything okay?" Midoriya asked, holding the door handle to a classroom.
Nagisa waved him off, "Ah yeah, I'm fine!"
Midoriya smiled, "Well anyway, this is my next class, I'm sure everyone will be happy to properly meet you!"
"Um okay," Nagisa said, slightly nervous.
"Don't worry, you'll get along with most of them," the greenet said, 'My class is class 1-A. We're a bit on the eccentric side but I'm sure you'll fit right in..."
'Eccentric, huh? Maybe it wouldn't be too different from home,' Nagisa thought as Midoriya slid the door open and the two entered the classroom.
Was Nagisa nervous? Hell yeah! Was he gonna show it? Hell naw! Still, he wanted to trust Midoriya's words, and from what he had already seen (most) of the high schoolers seemed like nice people. And since he might have to be here for a while, he ought to get along with them.
Still, after the earlier incident (he still shuddered at the thought of it), he feared he might have shown a bit too much of his assassination skills, which probably wasn't the best idea in a school for heroes. Hopefully, he'll be lucky and they won't bring that up.
Yeah, they probably forgot...
"Hey look, it's the kid who almost killed Mineta with a pen!"
Or not...
Nagisa immediately hid behind Midoriya. The greenet sweatdropped.
"Sero, he has a name, you know!" Yaoyorozu scolded the black-haired male. She walked over to the two and bent down a bit as she came to Nagisa.
"Hey there, Nagisa-kun right?" She asked with a gentle smile. "You don't have to be scared, everything's okay."
"Seriously, Yaomomo?" Jirou crossed her arms, "he isn't a child."
"I was just trying to be nice!" the ponytailed female protested.
"Okay then, how old are you?" Hagakure asked bubbly. Nagisa seemed to blanch at the disembodied voice coming from the bundle of floating school uniform.
"Umm...I'm fourteen," the blunet managed out with a shocked expression. "I'm in my third year of junior high..."
"See, he's only a year younger than us," Jirou said as most of the class began to form around the blunet. Midoriya raised his hand and try to halt them, "Hey guys! Give him some space! He's nervous as is."
"Oh~" Ashido walked over to the two boys, "Look at Midoriya already being a big brother to Nagisa-chan!"
"Aww~! That's so cute!" Uraraka said, holding her cheeks, "You're so sweet Deku-kun!"
Midoriya blushed at the compliment and scratched the back of his head.
"I must say, you quite magnifique!" Aoyama said, doing a dramatic pose as he pointed at the blunet, "Almost as magnifique as môi."
Nagisa sweatdropped at the twinkling blond, "Thank...you...?"
Soon, most of the class began introducing themselves and talking to Nagisa, while others who remained seated, namely Todoroki, Tokoyami and Bakugou, watched the scene or in Bakugou case, didn't care.
"He seemed like an interesting kid," said Tokoyami, "I wonder where he came from and..." he narrowed his eyes, "...where he learnt those skills."
Todoroki turned to his bird-headed classmate for a moment before turning back to Nagisa who was trying to keep up with what the surrounding teens were telling him.
"True..." the white-and-red-haired male said, "Clearly, he's no ordinary boy..."
"Do you think that's his quirk?" asked Tokoyami.
"Possibly," Todoroki said as he flashbacked to the moment the blue-haired boy aimed a pen at their classmate's throat. He had shown to have quick reflexes, like they were trained, "but it could be something else entirely..."
"Like what?" Tokoyami turned to Todoroki, the latter continued to stare at Nagisa before shrugging, "Who knows?"
Bakugou, who was listening to the two's conversation, just snickered. Ashido turned to them, "Hey guys! You should introduce yourselves to Nagisa-chan too!"
The three perked up. Nagisa finally noticed them, a guy with a raven's head, some other guy with different coloured hair and eyes, and the angry-looking blond he met earlier in the hall.
At this point, he wasn't even sure how to react to the appearances of some of these students. His eyes stayed focused on Bakugou.
'He's the one who sounds just like...' Nagisa began to think before Kirishima spoke, "C'mon guys, it's kinda rude that you haven't spoken to our new friend here."
"Yeah! Come say hello to the trap!" Hagakure said.
Nagisa sweatdropped, "I'd appreciate it if you don't call me that..."
"Tch! I don't introduce myself to some kid!" Bakugou spoke angrily.
"Don't be like that man, just say hello!" said Kaminari.
"Shut up, idiot!"
Yaoyorozu sighed, "Sorry about him, he's always angry..." She turned to Tokoyami and Todoroki, "And aren't you two going to say something?"
"Ah right," Tokoyami began, "My name is Tokoyami Fumikage. Nice to meet you."
Todoroki spoke next, "Todoroki Shouto. Pleasure." He turned to Bakugou, "Your turn."
"What is this? Fucking kindergarten?" Bakugou yelled, "Like hell I'll tell him my name!"
"His name's Bakugou Katsuki," Kirishima told Nagisa.
"FUCK YOU!"
Nagisa sweatdropped but still bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."
"Wish I could say the same!" the angry blond grumbled.
"He doesn't mean that," Kirishima told Nagisa, "He's an okay guy once you get to him."
"Well, I don't know about that. I mean, he and Midoriya have known each other since they were kids and Midoriya's the one he treats the worst," said Sero.
"Really? You two have known each other for that long?" Nagisa asked slightly surprised.
Midoriya scratched his cheek, "Yeah, Kacchan and I have known each other since childhood."
"Kacchan?"
"That's what I call him..."
"Does he have a nickname for you too?"
"Yeah, it's Deku, but it's also my hero name now,"
"Wow, it must mean something heroic!"
"Well...not at first,"
"Wait...what do you mean at first?"
The greenet sighed, "That I was basically worthless..."
"Oh..."
Midoriya smiled, "It's alright, really! I don't see it like that anymore anyway, so it's fine!"
Nagisa thought for a moment, "Well...then I guess if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have a hero name."
"Huh, I guess that's true," he puts his hand on his chin as his eyes moved to Uraraka with a slight blush on his cheeks, "But I owe someone else too-"
"OI! STOP TALKING ABOUT ME, SHIT NERD!'
"Ah, sorry Kacchan!"
Iida clapped his hands, "Alright, everyone! Let's get back to studying!"
"Aww," Ashido whined, "You're no fun, Iida!"
"Wait, this is a study period?" Midoriya asked.
"Yup, but I doubt anyone's gonna get back to studying now, kero," Asui said.
"I know!" Hagakure exclaimed, "Let's all tell Nagisa-chan our quirks!"
"Good idea!" Kaminari agreed.
"No! We can do that later! We should study now!" Iida yelled.
"I agree, we really should get back to studying before a teacher comes by," Yaoyorozu said.
"Then how about we vote," Ashido suggested catching everyone's attention, "All in favour of studying, raise your hand!"
Only Iida and Yaoyorozu raised their hands.
"All in favour of not studying and rather getting to know Nagisa-chan and showing him our quirks, raise your hand!"
Practically everyone else raised their hands.
"Seriously!?" The class rep duo yelled. "You as well Midoriya!?"
Midoriya chuckled nervously as he slowly lowered his hand, "Well, I don't see why we can't do it, Nagisa's going to be a part of our class in the meantime...it would be good for us to get to know him and for him to know us, so..."
"Unbelievable..." the bespectacled teen muttered.
"Come on, you too Todoroki-kun!?" Yaoyorozu turned to the red-and-white haired teen.
Todoroki shrugged, "I honestly don't feel like studying anyway..."
Yaoyorozu and Iida fell to their knees and hands dramatically, with a pillar of light shining on each of them, "There's no hope left in this class..."
"Are they...gonna be okay?" Nagisa asked, slightly concerned at the depressing aura of the two.
"Nah, don't worry, they'll be fine," Jirou said, waving him off, "They'll probably join us anyway..."
"Speaking of joining us," Ojiro began looking around the classroom, "Has anyone seen Mineta?"
"Ugh, why are you asking about that creep?" Ashido asked, slightly disgusted.
The martial arts teen shrugged, "Just curious..."
"Didn't he come to class with us?" Kirishima asked.
"More like Sero and I dragged him to class," Kaminari scoffed.
"The bastard could barely walk after what happened," Sero added.
"Okay, but is he though?" Ojiro asked again,
"He's been sitting in that corner for most of the period already..." Todoroki pointed to the far corner on the left side of the classroom casually.
Everyone turned to that corner to see a completely white Mineta, sitting with a traumatized expression on his face. (His mind be like mmmmmmmmmmm...)
They all sweatdropped.
Nagisa grew uncomfortable at the sudden silence in the room.
"Umm, so anyway," Uraraka broke the awkward silence and turned to look at everyone, "Why don't we start showing Nagisa-kun our quirks!"
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, I'll go first!" The brunette chimed, "My hero name is Uravity and my quirk is Zero Gravity! It allows me to alter the gravity of anything I touch with my fingertips and make them float."
"Woah! Really?" Nagisa's eyes sparkled. Uraraka nodded, "Uhuh! Let me show you!" She moved back and touch a desk, causing it to float. Nagisa's eyes grew in amazement.
Uraraka then put her fingertips together, "And... release!" She said as the desk came down.
"Wow!"
"Thanks," She said before scratching her cheek, "But if I keep something floating for too long or make too many things float, I get nauseous..."
"I see," The blunet said.
"My turn!" Ashido said, "My hero name is Pinky and my quirk is Acid! It allows me to excrete acid and also control its corrosiveness and viscosity!"
"Really~"
"Yup! Check it out!" And she shot a small stream of acid at the board, melting a small hole on it.
"Nice!" (*Click* Noice)
"Ashido! You could've aimed at something other than the board!" Iida complained.
"Whoops," she apologized, "So who's next?"
"Me! My hero name's Chargebolt and my quirk is Electrification!" Kaminari inserted, "It allows me to absorb and produce electricity! Check this out!" The electric blond then shot a bolt of electricity at a wall, leaving a burnt mark.
"Cool!" Nagisa said in awe. Kaminari smirked.
"Why do you have to shoot the wall? Now there's a burnt mark there!" Iida screamed.
"Whoops," Kaminari scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"His quirk is pretty cool but if he overdoes himself, he short-circuits and turns into a total dud!" Jiro inserted.
"Hey! Shut up Jiro!" Kaminari yelled feeling embarrassed.
However, the purple-haired female ignored him and took out her phone. She then showed Nagisa a video clip of brain-dead Kaminari walking around giving double thumbs up while saying "Yay".
Nagisa wheezed.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT JIRO!? CUT IT OUT!" Kaminari shouted, completely infuriated. To which, Jiro just snickered.
"Anyways, both my hero name and quirk is Earphone Jack," Jiro said as she held up her retractable jack-shaped earlobes, "It allows me to plug these babies into objects to listen to sounds or to blast the sound of my heartbeat that is capable of reaching explosive levels!"
"How does that work?" Nagisa asked.
"Allow me to demonstrate," Jirou said as she plug one of her jacks into Kaminari's ear and buzzed him as he let out a loud shriek.
"So cool!"
"NO! NOT COOL! OW! VERY OW!" The blond screamed angrily, again to which, Jirou snickered.
The two of them bickering and teasing caused Nagisa to chuckle a bit, as they reminded him of two of his classmates.
Everyone else began telling the blunet their hero names and demonstrating their quirks. And just as the purple-haired girl said, Iida and Yaoyorozu eventually joined in too. Soon it was only Todoroki, Bakugou and Midoriya who hadn't had a turn yet.
Oh! As for Mineta, Sero had told Nagisa about him (hero name and quirk). The blunet didn't need a demonstration of his quirk Pop Off though, considering he had already experienced it firsthand.
Mineta just tried to pretend like Nagisa wasn't staring daggers at the back of his head.
Anyways, it was Todoroki's turn and the quiet teen didn't seem too bothered about doing it. What he was concerned about was Nagisa himself. Why was there something off about this kid?
"My hero name is my first name, Shouto. My quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot, which allows me to generate ice from my right side and fire from my left." He said as he froze a chair in a block of ice before burning it, turning it into ashes.
Nagisa gaped in awe, Todoroki's quirk might just be the coolest he's ever seen.
"Seriously!?" Iida yelled, "You do realize, someone is going to sit there later!?"
"Whoops," The red-and-white-haired male said casually.
"Can you all stop saying 'Whoops' like it'll fix anything?!" The bespectacled teen shouted frustratedly.
"Calm down Iida," Yaoyorozu said, "I can replace the chair."
As the ponytailed female was doing that, everyone turned to Bakugou.
"What are you all staring at?" The blond growled.
"It's your turn to show Nagisa your quirk," Kaminari said.
"I didn't fucking agree to this shit, dammit!" Bakugou yelled, "Like hell I'll tell that brat my quirk let alone show him!"
"His quirk is Explosion, which gives his sweat on his hands the properties of nitroglycerin which he can detonate at will," Kirishima explained to Nagisa.
"DON'T FUCKING TELL HIM!"
"So basically, what you're saying is that it's a safety hazard to shake hands with him," Nagisa tried to understand.
"Basically," The entire class responded.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!"
Midoriya chuckled at the scene before smiling at how well Nagisa was getting along with the others. But then it wasn't long before they all turned to him. That was right. It was now his turn to tell Nagisa his quirk.
"Alright Midoriya, you're up!" Ashido said.
The greenet nodded, "Ah right!" he turned to Nagisa, "My quirk is a utility quirk, it enhances my strength and speed as well as allow me to emit black energy whips to grapple onto other objects, but if used incorrectly, I can cause serious damage to my body."
Nagisa stared at the greenet, in slight awe but began contemplating his words.
He smiled though, "Sounds like an awesome quirk either way!"
"Thanks, I'd rather show it to you when we're having a training session, I don't want Iida to get mad at me because I broke something." Midoriya chuckled nervously.
"Excellent thinking, Midoriya!" Iida nodded as he adjusted his glasses. Everyone sweatdropped.
"That's fine by me," Nagisa smiled.
"So Nagisa-chan, where are you from?" Ashido asked.
"Yeah, and what is your quirk?" Hagakure asked.
"Oh, umm..." Nagisa grew weary, as a sweat traced down his head. His eyes darted to Midoriya as he and the greenet exchanged glances.
"If you don't want to tell them, you don't have to," Midoriya whispered. Nagisa thought about telling them, but he wasn't sure about advertising the idea of being from another world to everyone. "I think it's best if we don't tell them now." He eventually said.
Nagisa then turned to the others, "You see...umm, I don't really remember how I got here."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kaminari asked.
"Let me explain," Midoriya said. He then filled them in on everything, excluding the part about the blunet being from another world, the ones who brought him here in the first place and 'the message'.
"Okay," Yaoyorozu said, "So you found Nagisa-kun and brought him here where he's being taken care of until you can figure out where he came from?"
"That's right," Nagisa said, and he was happy that they bought the lie. They were all nice people (well, most of them) but he wasn't sure how they'd react to his situation. He wanted to be as discrete as possible, especially so they wouldn't find out he was an assassin-in-training.
"Oh, you poor thing," Ashido said sadly.
"We've already told All Might, Aizawa-sensei and the principal, so don't worry about it too much," Midoriya said, "But in the meantime, Nagisa's going to be an Honorary Student at U.A and will be staying with our class."
"Really? That's awesome!" Uraraka chimed.
"We get to keep him!" Hagakure and Ashido squealed as they began hugging Nagisa.
"Please help me..." The blunet called out desperately.
The others sweatdropped.
The bell rang, catching everyone's attention. They all separated to pack their things and Nagisa walked up to Midoriya.
"So, what's happening now?" he asked curiously.
"Well," Midoriya picked up his bag, "Apparently, class 1-A is gonna have a quick training session."
"Training session?"
"Yup!" Midoriya smiled. "Let's go!"
=| Ground Beta |=
After everyone had changed into their PE uniforms, the gang made their way to Ground Beta, which they haven't used to train for quite some time, since most of the training done in the past few months were in Ground Gamma. Waiting for them at the entrance was Aizawa. Nagisa was awestruck by the area, taking in the scenery. Standing tall before them were several buildings and skyscrapers, it was like they were in an actual city.
"I can't believe you guys have a place like this on campus!" The blunet exclaimed, "Just how big is U.A?"
Midoriya chuckled, "Let's just say it's huge!" He turned back to the entrance of the training grounds, "This is Ground Beta, it was used during the entrance exam for the school. Though we haven't used it since then." He looked down at Nagisa and smiled, "I'm excited to find out what kind of training we're going to be doing!"
"I'm excited too! I get to see actual heroes train! Like in comic books!" Nagisa's eyes sparkled.
Midoriya's smile widened, 'He really does remind me of myself.'
"Alright, listen up!" Everyone turned to the shaggy-haired teacher, standing lazily by the entrance. "Now, I know you all usually don't have a training session out of the blue but today we decided you should. But if you don't feel like training, you don't have to..."
"Wait, really?" Kaminari asked in surprise.
"Yes, you can just go home for the day..."
"Alright!"
"But, you cannot come back tomorrow..."
"Eh?"
"Or ever..."
Everyone sweatdropped. So that was how it was...
"So before we begin, does anyone want to leave?" Aizawa asked as his eyes traced the class, they all remained silent, "Good, then let's begin."
Nagisa stared at Aizawa bewilderedly, 'The teachers here are really something...'
"Here's what's going to happen, you're all going to split up into teams," The black-hair man began, "Each team must retrieve flags that have been hidden all over the place. The team with the most flags wins."
Sero nodded in understanding, "Seems simple enough, compared to the joint training two days ago."
"Also if you happen to run into other teams after finding a flag then the teams have to fight it out to determine who keeps the flag."
"Of course, there's a catch," Ashido whined.
"There's always a catch," Hagakure added.
"And before any of you get excited," Aizawa narrowed his eyes, "No serious injuries are allowed. You can only use your quirks to defend yourselves or attack if necessary. Understood?"
"Yes sir!"
Nagisa stood next to Aizawa and watched as everyone split into teams of five.
Team One was Midoriya, Uraraka, Asui, Iida and Kaminari. Team Two was Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Jiro, Tokoyami and Sero. Team Three was Bakugou, Kirishima, Ashido, Hagakure and Ojiro. And Team Four was Aoyama, Koda, Sato, Shoji and Mineta.
"Alright guys! Let's do this!" Midoriya exclaimed to his team. They all nodded.
"Yeah!"
"Let's do our best everyone!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed to her team. They all nodded.
"I'm gonna crush anyone who gets in the way!" Bakugou growled, resembling more of a hungry beast than an aspiring hero.
"He does know what we're doing right?" Ashido asked with an anxious face. Kirishima sweatdropped, "Y'know...that's just how he gets psyched."
"Looks more like he's getting psyched to kill..." Hagakure said. Ashido and Ojiro nodded their heads.
"You have forty-five minutes! Your time starts now!"
The four teams ran into the training grounds. Almost immediately they began searching for flags all over the city. Nagisa watched in awe as the teams moved all over the place. Watching them like this, reminded him of his class.
Team One began searching on the east side of the city. Asui leapt from building to building, She looked around until her eyes spotted a red flag at the corner of a skyscraper. She jumped down to the ground and used her tongue to retrieve the flag.
"I got one!" She exclaimed to her teammates. They beamed.
"Great job Tsu-chan!" Uraraka chimed.
Kaminari caught up with the rest holding a flag in his hand, "I also got one!"
"I have retrieved two," Iida piped in, holding out two.
"Wow Iida, you got two!?" Midoriya said.
"We're on a roll guys!" Uraraka chimed again.
"Looks like Team One is doing well so far," Nagisa said. His eyes were quickly directed to Team Two, "Though they seem to be doing better."
And indeed, Team Two was giving it their all. Todoroki had already retrieved three flags from the west side of the city. Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami found two each. Jirou had found three while Sero found four.
"Great job everyone!" Yaoyorozu smiled, "At this rate, we'll definitely win!"
Team One sweatdropped.
"How did they find so many flags already?" Uraraka asked.
"C'mon guys! We gotta pick up the speed!" Midoriya said.
And with that, they continued their search. Team Three was doing pretty well too, with Bakugou finding most of the flags. They had twenty-five so far. Oh wait, twenty-six, twenty-seven, make that twenty-eight...
"Wow, guys! We already have thirty-five flags!" Ashido exclaimed after counting the flags.
"Bakugou's really fired up isn't he," Hagakure said as the blond came back with three more flags.
"Stop slacking off losers! Or I might as well be in a team by myself!" Bakugou complained.
"That's...not a team..." Ashido deadpanned.
"But he's right! Let's work harder and win this!" Kirishima exclaimed.
Team Four had found nineteen flags. Mineta had finally recovered from his trauma and began looking around for a flag in between buildings while his teammates searched elsewhere. The purple-haired teen had spotted Midoriya picking up a flag and alerting his team.
'This is my chance!' Mineta thought as he pulled out one of his balls and got ready to through it at the greenet when a shadow loomed over him.
Mineta slowly turned around to see Bakugou standing behind him and with the palm of his hand sizzling. The purple-haired teen began trembling at the sight of the blond.
"Oi! Deku! Hand over that flag!" Bakugou yelled at Midoriya. The greenet flinched when he heard the blond from behind him.
"Kacchan..." Midoriya whispered as he turned to face the other.
"Give me the fucking flag and I'll only blow up half of your body!"
"WHAT!?"
"Hold on! That's my flag!" Mineta shouted but kept quiet when Bakugou shot a glare at him. Midoriya used that moment to escape and run back to his team.
"HEY! Get back here!" Bakugou ran after Midoriya and ignited his hand. He began to blow up parts of the building to slow the greenet down. Midoriya powered up. Green lightning surrounded his body, increasing his speed and strength. He then used blackwhip to swing away the building pieces that were falling on him, and slung himself to another building.
He paused to catch a breather before looking at a corner to see Todoroki sliding towards him on a long trail of ice. He shot out fire from his other hand which the greenet dodged at the last second and leapt to the next building.
It seemed Todoroki wanted the flag too. Midoriya turned back to see the red-and-white-haired male still pursuing him with Bakugou not far behind. Todoroki shot fire again and Bakugou blew up the building Midoriya was standing on.
Smoke covered the area where the three were. Nagisa kept his eyes on the cloud of smoke anticipating who would come out first.
"Midoriya!" Asui yelled out to the freckled teen. She was clinging to the side of the building that just blew up. After a few seconds, said greenet leapt from the smog and threw the flag towards the frog girl. She extended her tongue to catch it before they both jumped down.
Soon after, Bakugou and Todoroki came out of the smoke.
"Time's up!"
Everyone froze and turned to Aizawa and Nagisa who was walking behind him.
"Looks like you all did well or whatever, so let's see who won," Aizawa said.
The four teams gathered together and gave their bags of flags. After counting them all, they had a clear winner.
"And the winners are," Aizawa paused (cue the drumroll), "Team Two."
"Alright!" Jirou exclaimed as she and the others high-fived.
"Great job you guys!" Uraraka congratulated them. Midoriya nodded, "Yeah you guys did great! I guess even after fighting for that last flag we still lost."
"But it was fun, don't you think?" Asui said.
"Yeah, it was awesome!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"And great work back there, Todoroki!" Midoriya turned to the red-and-white-haired male. He smiled at him, "Thanks, you weren't too bad yourself."
Bakugou glared at both Midoriya and Todoroki, "Next time, I'll crush the both of you!"
Midoriya chuckled nervously.
"Midoriya-san!" Nagisa ran to the older teen, "You were amazing back there!"
"You really think so? Thank you!" Midoriya smiled.
"And not just Midoriya-san! You were all amazing!" Nagisa chimed, "Especially you Bakugou-san!"
The blond raised an eyebrow at the younger boy before clicking his tongue and walking off.
"Alright people. You can all go change and then head to your next class," Aizawa dismissed them.
Everyone walked out of the training grounds. Midoriya told Nagisa that after school, they'd be heading back to the dorms with the others. From a distance, a dark figure watched as the young heroes left the area.
The school day finally came to an end and class 1-A had returned to the Heights Alliance dorms. When Nagisa entered the building, he was amazed at how big the common area was, and the pieces of equipment installed. The blunet was designated to live in the spare room on the 5th floor, next to Sato's.
When Nagisa and Midoriya reached the spare room, the blunet entered and took a look around. It was a simple room, with a balcony and light-blue curtains, the walls and ceilings were white, reminding him of when he first woke up in the infirmary back at the main campus. The bed was medium-sized and it was dressed with white sheets and a light-green blanket with a single pillow resting at its head. There was also a desk and a cupboard in the left corner. It wasn't much, but he was sure he'd sleep fine that night.
As Midoriya helped Nagisa settle in, they had a quick chat. When the greenet talked about his mother, Nagisa couldn't help but think about his own. She had to be worried about him, since he just disappeared. What if she thought that he left her? How was she feeling right now? Was she lonely?
Nagisa sighed. While he was happy to have met Midoriya and the others, he still missed being in his world, after all the final assassination couldn't take place without him.
"Something on your mind?"
Nagisa looked up at Midoriya, noticing his worried expression. Nagisa gave a dry smile, "Yeah, I'm just worried about my mum."
"Oh," the greenet's gaze shifted, "She must be scared right now. Her son's nowhere to be found..." he said in a sad tone, "well...in that world anyway."
"I just wish there was a way to contact her, or one of my friends but..." Nagisa paused when he realized something, 'That's right! My phone!'
"Midoriya!" Nagisa spoke in a low voice not to alert the others, and the greenet turned to face the other. "What is it Nagisa?"
"I just remembered I had my phone on me when I came here!" The younger male piped.
The greenet smiled, "Wait, really? That's great! Maybe you can see if it still works!"
"Yeah, but one problem..." Nagisa scratched his cheek sheepishly. "I just remembered it was in my other pants and...they're still being washed..."
Midoriya's smile fell slightly, "Oh, well maybe Recovery Girl noticed and took it out..."
"I hope so..."
"Don't worry about it Nagisa, we'll ask her tomorrow when we go get your clothes. It'll all work out," Midoriya smiled as his expression softened. "I promised that I'd help you get back to your world and stop whoever's behind you being here! So you can count on me and everyone else too, okay?"
Nagisa stared at Midoriya, a small smile slowly formed on his face.
"Okay. Thank you, Midoriya-san!"
As Midoriya was leaving the room, he turned back, "Oh, also it's almost dinner time! When we're done, I'll lend you some of my spare clothes so you have something to wear to sleep!"
"Ah, thanks," Nagisa replied. "I'll be down in a minute."
"Okay!" And with that Midoriya left the room.
Nagisa got off the bed and stretched his arms. As he was about to leave, he felt an unnatural presence in his room and a chill down his spine.
He quickly spun around to see if something was behind him but...
...Nothing was there. Nothing but the light-blue curtains, flowing mindlessly in the wind that came in from the opened balcony.
But...the balcony door was just closed. He never opened it.
