The next morning, Weiss found herself sitting in her private car outside of Kyouka's house. Now that everyone knew that they were friends, there was no use in trying to hide anything. Giving her friend a ride to school was the least she could do for all of the help Kyouka had given her. Today, school was canceled, so Weiss would have to adapt. Speaking of adapting, Yu was going to need a lot of adaptation when it came to her own combat training. The blonde hero had arrived home bruised and battered, apparently from some villain that held a rich family hostage.
Yu then refused to let go of Weiss once she found out about the attack on the USJ. Weiss would be lying if she said that she hated the invasion of her personal space, only because it was Yu. Anyone else would have been slapped, unless they were Kyouka or Mina. She didn't mind their physical contact. Weiss leaned her head against the headrest, when a dark haired girl finally exited her home.
"Please beep the horn, Sho." Weiss said, as she started lowering in the window. Kyouka was closing the front door to her house when Sho beeped the horn. Kyouka jumped slightly, her head quickly turning to glare at Weiss. She slowly walked up to the car.
"What are you doing here so early?" Kyouka yawned while still glaring at Weiss, whose answer was to place her luxury sunglasses on her face, giving Kyouka a smirk.
"Get in loser. You're being kidnapped."
Kyouka's glare turned into a deadpan stare. "Who are you and what have you done to Weiss?"
"Just get in the car. Since school is closed for today, we're going to go eat brunch at a nice cafe that I found online. Mina said that she'll meet us there." Weiss pulled out her personal phone. Her two work phones kept being flooded with notifications, making them rather annoying.
Kyouka rolled her eyes and went around the car, sliding in next to Weiss. "Don't ever speak like that again. It's kinda creepy seeing you talk so friendly." It was Kyouka's turn to smirk this time while Weiss gave her a glare, hidden by her sunglasses.
That would be the last time Weiss ever followed Yu's advice on being a better friend.
"Thank you so much for inviting me!" Yaoyorozu beamed as she sat across from Weiss. Mina sat to Weiss' left, with Kyouka seated in front of her. The four girls sat in a private room that Weiss had reserved.
"You're welcome." Weiss forced herself to say through her teeth. Mina had shown up with the tall girl in tow for some reason, only giving Weiss a mischievous grin. Was this her attempt at forcing Weiss to make new friends? The context clues said yes. "I'm glad that you were able to make it." Lies seemed to fill Weiss' life. Would her friends see her the same way if they found out the truth about her? That their friendships were built upon a foundation of lies?
Yaoyorozu smiled as she took a sip from her coffee mug, steam still forming on the surface of the brown liquid. It was the most useful out of all of man's creations. Weiss gave Mina a discreet glare out of the corner of her eye, and took a bite from her crepe. An awkward silence filled the private room, not that Yaoyorozu seemed to have noticed. Someone out in the universe hated Weiss, there had to be.
"Thanks for the food Weisscream!" Mina said cheerfully as she took a bite of her omelette. Weiss gave her a small smile in return, and continued eating her crepe.
This wasn't exactly what she planned, but at least Yaoyorozu was tolerable, and didn't seem to lack money. That meant she wasn't a gold-digger, which only left social parasite among other things. Still, she was better company than Mineta, the dog or Midoriya.
Weiss took a sip of her cup of coffee, black, just the way Father used to enjoy it. She forced herself to swallow it and grimaced.
That was the worst coffee she had ever drank in her life, and this would be the last time Weiss trusted online reviews.
Classes resumed the day afterwards. The news the night before finally mentioned the attack on the USJ. It seemed that four of the villains died on the spot, with another dead on the way to the hospital. Their cause of death wasn't made clear, though Weiss had to assume that the dog murdered one, or the ones she sliced with Myrtenaster found themselves bleeding to death. The rest sustained injuries that they would survive with some treatment.
They deserved worse, much worse. They had planned on murdering her fellow classmates, as well as herself. They deserved no mercy for what they planned on doing. Weiss silently tapped her feet against the ground. She didn't kill them either way, their injuries did.
The rest of the class were in their seats, chatting happily among each other, acting as if they almost didn't die a few days ago. Was their way of coping? If they were secretly dying on the inside like Weiss was, they actually hid it pretty well. Still, Weiss couldn't read minds, so she went off on how they presented themselves to the world. She shook the thoughts out of her head, when someone knocked on their classroom door.
Ooo, could it be their substitute homeroom teacher? Mr. Aizawa was still in the hospital from what she heard. The door slid open silently, and a man covered in bandages walked in. Even with an arm in a cast, and his face wrapped in bandages as white as Weiss' hair, she could recognize that outfit and disheveled hair anywhere.
"Morning." Mr. Aizawa walked up to the podium, his hard eyes barely visible through the bandages.
"Mr. Aizawa, you should be resting!" A few students from the front exclaimed. It must've been nice, easily being able to see everything while Weiss had to lean to the side to be able to see the board.
"My wellbeing doesn't matter." Mr. Aizawa said from behind the podium. Weiss had to admit, she needed to give him more credit than she initially did. Most teachers would have been on leave until they were fully recovered. "The battle's not over yet."
Weiss narrowed her eyes. What was he talking about?
"The UA Sports Festival shall begin soon." Mr. Aizawa's voice was serious as the class began to cheer.
"Finally a normal school event!" Kirishima shouted.
Kaminari, the electricity boy that was always around Kyouka, interrupted the fake redhead by shoving his hands in Kirishima's face. "Wait a minute. Is is ok to have a sports festival so soon after the villain attack?"
Someone was asking the right questions at least. Weiss would have to continue to observe him before giving Kyouka her approval, not that the bassist needed it.
"What if they decided to attack us again?" Kyouka asked with a bored look on her face. Thankfully, Weiss' grimace was hidden by the muscle in front of her. Any villains that returned shall face the full might of Weiss and Myrtenaster.
"Apparently, its to show off that our crisis management team is rock solid by holding the event." Mr. Aizawa leaned against the podium. Weiss' foot taps started to increase in speed, but they were still silent. This was starting to remind her of the Vytal Festival. "Security will be strengthened, at least five times more when compared to previous years."
General Ironwood's fleet hovered over the City of Vale, when hordes of Grimm started to overtake them.
"Above everything else, the Sports Festival shall continue as normal." Mr. Aizawa continued. "It's not going to be canceled just because of a few villains." No one seemed nervous, even Mineta, who sat behind Midoriya. At least they were takinv this seriously. "Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. With the Olympics being made obsolete, our Sports Festival has taken its place."
"And all of the top heroes shall be watching." The feminine blond boy, whose name slipped Weiss' mind, said with a flamboyant flip of his hair.
"For scouting purposes!" Iida added, raising his hand in the air as he spoke.
The rest of the class started spouting exposition like information that should have been obvious, even to an outsider like Weiss. Stuff about Pro-Agencies taking on sidekicks and the like. Weiss helped Yu run Mt. Agency whenever she had time, so she was well informed.
"Being scouted by a more famous hero agency will get you more experience." Mr. Aizawa spoke up again. Weiss felt his eyes slowly turn to her. "And popularity."
Of course she already knew that no matter how she performed, Weiss would be flooded by offers. Smaller agencies would love to have 'Japan's Ice Queen' join their agency, those blood sucking parasites. Weiss would have to carefully vet any agency she chose, though in all honesty, she would probably end up joining Yu at Mt. Agency.
"Time is limited, so if you want to go pro, then the path to your future will depend on this event." Weiss could feel the energy in the room start to rise with each word that Mr. Aizawa said. "If you understand that, then don't be lazy and start preparing."
"Yes sir!" Iida said loudly. Other students followed his lead.
"Homeroom is dismissed. Schnee, come see me for a second." Mr. Aizawa's voice went back to sounding sleepy.
"Yes sir." Weiss stood up without another word and followed her mummy-looking teacher out in the hallway, ignoring the stares that some of her classmates gifted her.
Mr. Aizawa turned to look at her, his taller form towering over Weiss. "Report to the Principal's office. He would like to have a few words with you."
Now what did the principal of UA High school want to say to her? Did it have to do with the USJ? Weiss balled her fist and nodded.
Hopefully nothing bad would come from this.
