MHA: Bungee Gum Chapter 18

*Shiro POV*

'To think that this mystery went so far back…'

Kuro chuckles, 'To think that both of you guys were wrong.'

I furrow my eyebrows as we walk towards the cafe, 'What do you mean? We were both right.'

But Kuro retorts, 'No, not that. About how Midoriya was All Might's child.'

I let out a sigh, 'We just found out a multigenerational secret and you care that we got a side theory wrong?'

Kuro laughs madly, 'Kekeke, well duh! One man's mistake is another man's thrill.'

I shake my head, 'That's so stupid.'

We head back to the cafeteria and grab some ramen before meeting up with Momo, Kirishima, and the rest. Momo gives me a questioning look and I nod my head silently.

Kirishima raises his eyebrows, "Huh? I thought you went with Midoirya for lunch."

I shake my head, "We ran into Recovery Girl, and she said that she wanted to do a check-up on him because he was getting injured a lot."

Kaminari nods his head, "Hmm, hmm, he tends to get injured a lot. Unlike me, the great and mighty Denki Kaminari!"

Momo snickers, "Oh yeah, but he doesn't turn into an idiot when he overuses his quirk."

Kaminari reddens in embarrassment and my interest piques, "Does your body not have electricity resistance?"

Kaminari sighs and explains, "It's not my body, it's my brain. When I overuse my quirk, it fries my brain temporarily."

I nod my head, "So you should avoid drawn-out battles. Can you control the flow of your electricity?"

But Kaminari shakes his head, "Nah, it just flows out around me. I can control the wattage I release, but other than that..."

I close my eyes for a second and say thoughtfully, "What if you had something to channel your electricity?"

Kaminari's eyes widened, "Ooohh, like a sword maybe?"

But I shake my head, "Not a sword. No offense, but I don't think you would be able to use it efficiently. Probably a gun or something that shoots projectiles to focus your electricity. Maybe like a dart launcher?"

Kirishima shouts out, "Woah!!! That would be cool!"

Kaminari leans back in his chair, "Yeah, but where would I go to get that?"

I can hear Momo mutter, "Even without overusing your quirk, you're still an idiot."

I laugh slightly, "You know there's a support department for a reason right?"

We continue talking through lunch, trying to improve upon Kaminari's potential support gear. After lunch ends, we head back to class and start Hero Studies. Unlike some of our previous classes which were action-packed, this one was just theory as well as hero rescuing procedures. During the whole class, All Might kept on giving me nervous glances but I just ignored him.

I yawn as the bell rings and school ends, "That was a boring class."

Kirishima, Kaminari, and Mina walk over to Momo and me and Kaminari says, "Yo! You guys wanna come to McRonalds with us? I heard there's a cute cashier with huge-argh!"

He gets cut off as Mina slaps the back of his head, "Tch, scum!"

Mineta immediately comes over, almost drooling, "Cute girl you say? Let me come, c'mon man, let me come."

But I shake my head, "Nah. I gotta do some research."

Mina sticks her tongue out, "Booo! How boring!"

I stand up and grin slightly, "Well, see you, I'mma head out."

I slide the door open, "What the-"

The hallway is filled with people all looking at me and trying to peek inside our class. Behind me, my classmates are all staring wide-eyed at the crowd in front of our classroom.

I hear a few girls muttering, "Who is he?"

"He's pretty hot."

I sigh and speak up as the Class Rep, "Can you guys clear the hallway? It is inconvenient for my classmates and I if we can't get out."

Bakugo steps up beside me with a glare on his face, "What?! Come to see the "great" Class 1-A that survived a villain attack?! Come to scout out the enemy?! There's no point in doing stuff like that. Out of my way, extras!"

I give him a side glance, 'He figured it out as well… when he stays calm, his intellect isn't that bad. Too bad his temper ruins that.'

Iida reprimands Bakugo and waves his hand erratically, "Don't just call people you don't know extras, Bakugo! Class Rep, can't you do something?"

My classmates turn to me, and eventually, all eyes are focused on me, 'Tch, what a drag.'

I clear my throat to say something, but a drawling voice speaks up first, "I came to see what the famous Class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant."

A tired-looking boy with stuck-up purple hair walks to the front of the crowd and stands in front of us, "Are all the students in the hero course like this?"

Iida, Midoriya, Uraraka all shake their heads in denial, but both Bakugo and I stand our ground glaring and analyzing our opponent.

The purple-haired kid scratches the back of his head and sighs, "Seeing something like this makes me disillusioned. There are quite a few people who enrolled in general studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. Did you know that?"

Bakugo tilts his head down and glares at the purple-haired boy while I yawn and lean against the door frame, "Yes. What about it? If you could hurry it up, that would be great, I have places to go."

The purple-haired kid smiles, "The school has left those of us a chance. Depending on the results of the sports festival. They'll consider our transfer into the hero course."

He pauses slightly before glaring at me, "And it seems that they will transfer people out as well. I came to say that even if you're in the hero course if you get too carried away, I'll sweep you away from under your feet. I came with a declaration of war."

I smile at him, "Well, then. I look forward to seeing you in our class… if you can make it…"

He smiles back and I feel my body freeze up, 'What is this? His quirk?'

My head feels like it's filled with fog but yet at the same time, it feels empty.

The purple-haired boy says, "Jump up and down on one foot."

My body doesn't resist, and I immediately start jumping up and down on one foot. My classmates look at me in utter surprise with the same thought going through each of their heads, 'What is happening?'

The purple-haired boy smirks at me, and orders me again, "Start making monkey sounds."

I open my mouth, but before anything comes out, I feel a foot in my stomach and I get slammed against the wall, "What the hell are you doing to Shiro, you bastard!?"

I feel the connection break, and I cough up some spit before looking up at my savior, "Thanks, but did you have to kick me?"

Momo looks at me with a fierce expression, "You were both in the way and I figured he was doing something to you. On that note…"

She glares at the boy who smiles and starts to walk away, "Well, I've seen enough, I'll see you in two weeks, Class 1-A."

But Momo quickly turns her head and I can see her tense her muscles, preparing to hit him, "Oh no, you don't."

I quickly say, "Momo! I'm fine."

She looks at me for a second ad relaxes and before he retreats into the crowd, I put my hand on his shoulder, "Bastard… what's your name?"

He tilts his head to the side and gives me a side glance, "Hitoshi. Hitoshi Shinso."

I give him a cold stare, "I see, I look forward to seeing you at the festival, Shinso."

He looks at me for another second, and pushes my hand off of his shoulder, before disappearing into the crowd.

I let out a sigh and Bakugo glares at me, "I can't believe you! You just let him go?!"

Rubbing my stomach, I straighten up and look Bakugo in the eye, "Why bother now? I'll just beat him during the sports festival. Besides, the factors of his quirk are unknown. It would be foolish and against the school rules to fight him now."

He scowls at me and starts to walk away when a loud voice yells out, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm from Class B next door! I heard you fought against the villains so I came to hear 'bout it! Don't get so full of yourselves!"

'Class B, huh? But why is he so loud.'

Bakugo ignores him and tries to walk away again when Kirishima stops him, "Where are you going!? What are you gonna do about them? It's your fault that they all dislike us!"

Bakugo tilts his head and looks at Kirishima, "It doesn't matter, as long as you rise to the top…"

He swings his bag over his shoulder and people move out of the way to allow him to pass.

The loud boy from Class 1-B yells out, "You bastard! Are you ignoring me!?"

I chuckle at Bakugo's words, 'As long as you rise to the top, huh? We would be such good friends if your personality was more laidback and less angriness.'

I start walking out and people move out of the way for me as well, but instead of following Bakugo, I turn to the left and head towards the next-door room.

'Despite us being right next to each other, we've pretty much never seen each other. That's quite amusing.'

I walk up to the door and slide it open, only to dodge a flying body, 'What the fuck?'

I look over at the blonde who had just been thrown out of the room, "Erhm, are you ok?"

The blonde boy shakes his head showing slightly, "Yeah, I'm fine thanks."

I grab his hand and help him up, "Sup, what's your name?"

He stands up and brushes some dust off his clothing before looking at me smiling, "My name is Neito Monoma, Class 1-B"

I let go of him, "Shiro Hirota, Class 1-A"

His eyes widen as I say that last part and his smile immediately morphs scowl, "HAAHH!!! Class 1-A, you say!?!? What is a person from the "great" Class A doing here in the lowly Class B, huh!?!?"

I raise my eyebrows at the sudden change, "Jesus, you're too loud."

Monoma opens his mouth to say something else, but what it was, I don't know, because a giant hand came up from behind him and promptly chopped at his neck, knocking him out.

I raise my eyebrows again as a ginger-haired girl appears from behind one of the hands, "Sorry about that. He's a bit… crazy."

She chuckles lightly and the hand shrinks back to normal size and she holds it out, "Nice to meet you, I'm Itsuka Kendo. Class B's representative."

I take her head smiling, "Oh yeah, I remember you from that Class Rep meeting we had earlier. I'm-"

But she cuts me off, "Shiro Hirota, right? I remember you well. You gave a very confident air."

I reply, "Oh, did I?"

She nod's and I think to myself, 'It's good to know that not all of Class B are nutcases. She seems like a reasonable person

She looks at me curiously before I ask, "What?"

Itsuka shakes her head, "No, I was just wondering? Why are you here?"

I reply simply, "I want to establish a friendship between our classes. I would bring a few others, but..."

I gesture to the crowd behind me and she snickers, "I can see how that would be a problem."

What I said wasn't completely a lie. While I did want to establish a relationship, the main reason was that I wanted to find out about my opponent's quirks. The easiest and most efficient way would be to establish a friendship.

She smiles, and gestures for me to come in, "Please come in, I'll introduce you to the rest of the class."

She picks up Monoma's unconscious body and walks inside, and I follow after her. When I step in, I immediately look around for the wind guy as well as any other familiar faces from the recommendation exam. I see a skeleton-looking kid that looked familiar, but no wind guy.

'That's weird…'

AN: So Shiro and Shinso have met…

I think I can do a double release...
