Chapter 21: A wierd group of people.
The morning sun cast its soft glow over U.A. High School as Bakugo entered the classroom of 1-A. In the early hours, only two other figures occupied the space – Yaoyorozu Momo and Todoroki Shoto. Tension lingered in the air, amplified by the intense glares exchanged between Bakugo and Todoroki.
As the minutes passed, the classroom gradually filled with the rest of Bakugo's classmates. Some wore expressions that hinted at the toll recent events had taken on them. The media frenzy outside the school gates had been relentless, an unyielding swarm drawn to the spectacle of U.A. High School.
Bakugo's sharp eyes surveyed the room, taking in the varied reactions of his classmates. The air crackled with a mixture of anticipation, anxiety, and an undercurrent of determination. Little did they know that the events unfolding outside the school would soon thrust them into a dire situation, challenging their resolve and testing the limits of their abilities.
The atmosphere in the classroom shifted as their homeroom teacher, Aizawa, entered. The initial part of the lesson covered the ethical aspects of heroics, setting a serious tone for the day. However, it was the final 20 minutes that carried the weight of an important decision.
Aizawa's words hung in the air, eliciting a mixture of curiosity and unease among the students. "This will be a choice that will impact all of you and the rest of the school year," he declared, prompting a collective holding of breaths. Then, the revelation: they needed to choose a Class Representative.
The tension ebbed as relief washed over the students, with many expressing enthusiasm about the normalcy of the task. Cheering erupted, except for a few, notably Todoroki and Bakugo, who seemed less interested in the communal excitement. Lida Tenya, a bespectacled student, inquired about the process of selecting the representative, to which Aizawa nonchalantly responded that he didn't care as long as it didn't disturb his nap.
Little did the students know that this seemingly routine decision would become a pivotal moment, setting the stage for the challenges and trials that awaited them.
After a heated debate and a shouting match among the students, they settled on a voting system to determine the class representative and vice-representative. Momo Yaoyorozu emerged as the class rep, with Tenya Lida chosen as her deputy.
As the lesson drew to a close, the hungry students of 1-A dispersed to the cafeteria for lunch. Bakugo, seeking solace in the company of those he found tolerable, joined Eijiro Kirishima, known affectionately as "Shitty Hair" by Bakugo. Alongside Kirishima sat Ashido Mina, dubbed "Raccoon Eyes" by Bakugo for her distinctive pink hair, and Denki Kaminari, who earned the moniker "Pikachu" from Bakugo.
Engrossed in their conversation, Bakugo only half-listened to Kirishima's remark. "Hey Bakubro? Have you heard? There's been a lot of rumors going around that the whole of Kagoshima is going to be an open battlefield. Do you think it's true?" Kirishima's question hung in the air, injecting an undercurrent of tension into the casual lunchtime chatter.
The lunchtime atmosphere transformed abruptly as a blaring alarm signaled a Code Red. Startled, Bakugo and his companions scanned their surroundings, witnessing a chaotic scene unfold as seniors rushed towards the exit. Bakugo, never one to hold back his colorful language, exclaimed, "What the everloving fuck is going on here!?"
Attempting to make sense of the chaos, Bakugo questioned a senior who responded, "Code Red means villains broke into the school! We need to get to an evacuation point quick." Before Bakugo could unleash his explosive quirk to carve a path through the crowd, a sudden impact caught his attention. Tenya Lida had been propelled against the wall, momentarily halting the stampede. The unexpected sight drew the attention of many students, freezing them in their tracks.
However, Lida quickly recovered, skillfully balancing on the entrance door beam. Armed with a megaphone, he took command of the situation. "Do not panic! It is just the media. However, this is a prestigious school! This is no way to act when in an emergency!"
Lida's authoritative voice, amplified by the megaphone, began to restore order to the tumultuous scene. The realization that it was a false alarm diffused the panic, prompting the students to regain composure. Yet, the lingering tension hinted at the fragility of their sanctuary.
As the students of UA settled into a semblance of order, unbeknownst to the school's staff, a mysterious figure with blue hair and a haunting appearance emerged just outside the dusted gate. Clad in a black hoodie and jeans, this enigmatic individual held a class schedule in hand.
Initiating contact with a predetermined number, a warp gate materialized, offering passage to an unknown destination. Little did anyone suspect that the threads of a sinister plan were being woven, and the gears of a nefarious scheme were set in motion.
In the shadows, orchestrating events from a distance, All For One plotted a fatal attack on UA. However, fate had its own twists in store. An even darker force, lurking in the peripheries, observed the unfolding chaos and prepared to seize advantage. The wheels of intrigue turned, setting the stage for an unforeseen chapter in the dark narrative that entwined the destinies of heroes and villains alike.
