Mina was anything but helpful. She sat at the side of the room, watching intently and biting out a few poison laced words. Now that the other Mina was back home, they had to resume teaching themselves. But, they were much farther than they had been.

They had even gotten Mina to say 'thank you'; even if it was only once and after Bakugou had threatened to explode her.

But now, Midoriya and Bakugou were in their 5th screaming match about wether or not saying 'bless you' was considered offensive when someone sneezed.

"You can't just assume someone's religion! Saying 'bless you' could personally offend them!" Midoriya snapped.

"But saying 'bless you' is literally what you say when someone sneezes! Where the fuck did religion come from!?"

"'Bless you' is exactly the same as saying 'godbless you'!"

"BUT ITS HUMAN DECENCY! I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE! IF YOU SNEEZE, MY FIRST REACTION WILL BE TO SAY GODBLESS YOU!"

"OH FUCK YOU!"

Mina watched with mild amusement, leaning against the wall as she stared blankly at the two. Though, if she was telling the truth, she was rather surprised.

If you had told her that Izuku fucking Midoriya would form coherent sentences without any cursing, she would have laughed -and I mean actually laugh- right in there face. She'd probably also download Instagram or whatever and post all about it. Midoriya simply had a cursing thing. It was a part of him, but ever since this Bakugou showed up, things have begun to change. Wether for the good or for the better they'd never know.

She wasn't saying they were all going to become goodie-two-shoed-heroes, just the thought made her want to barf, but there could be a stronger further gained from this.

She hadn't heard about it much. Especially since no one trusted anyone. But back way when, teamwork had been a thing. People would work together and actually trust their teammate to come back for them if they needed. (Though she knew that would never happen, not to a full extent anyway. There would always be distrust between them all, and she couldn't really blame them. She didn't see the point in risking her life for someone else who was probably going to die anyways. Better to save herself then having two casualties.)

But perhaps there was a possibility of teamwork between everyone here. It was faint, and out there, but it was still there. Plus, strength in numbers and all that.

Midoriya was going to be a ruthless and fearless leader, she knew this. Hell, everyone knew this. But he was strong and smart and sent fear into those who he simply looked at.

Todoroki, despite constantly bouncing from place to place and loud squealing, was fast and didn't hesitate in the moment. His quirk was strong as well, ice and fire. He'd certainly be powerful.

Ayoama, who seemed bland and distant, was good at not getting easily offended and finding away around difficult situations. He'd never gotten into a fight with anyone, fuck, he didn't even raise his voice. And if someone tried to start a fight he's just stare at them blankly until they backed down.

Kaminari, He was smart and passed all the classes. Not to mention how great of a hacker he was, able to bypass the hardest of codes and locks. His quirk was strong as hell too, it's be an idiot's move to get on his bad side.

Monoma, who was still shy and shaking constantly as he tried to get everyone to calm down. He could copy quirks and didn't give himself as much credit as he should, boy was strong and she could respect that.

And Bakugou, their Bakugou, when he returned... she mentally cursed at how bad they fucked up. He was the baby of the class, and everyone knew that put him at greater risk. They'd wanted to help but only made it worse. She knew she'd have to change when he returned. But she also knew that it wouldn't be enough, everyone here was naturally violent and reacted violently. They didn't experience things like love and affection. Maybe besides Todoroki, that boy talked about his father a lot, bragging about how he was the second greatest hero's son. Though he never talked about his mother...

What about her? Would she join this little group? That... that was a question she didn't know the answer to. She wasn't social, she didn't even want to be. But this group promised power and a future that made even just the slightest bit excited.

At that moment, a small knocking broke her thoughts and brought her attention to the door, Bakugou and Midoriya falling out of there little argument. (Though she imagined that they'd only argue about something so insignificant just to yell and scream at each other.)

A orange head of messy hair greeted her, a wide smile stretched upon his bright face. "Hiya!" Shinsou said, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him.

"H-hey shinsou." Monoma waved, receiving a bright smile from the boy who had just entered.

"So, you finally decided to join us?" Ayoama scoffed, rolling his eyes. "What, did you have your little minions build you a mansion or something? Try and take over Europe again or something?"

"Ayoamaaaaa, that was one time!" Shinsou pouted, huffing as he sat down. "And no, some hero decided to break my lovely little followers concentration and they all ran away, and now I need new ones."

Shinsou laid back, letting out a dramatic wail.

"Fuck you. You've already missed so much, what's the point in joining us now?" One of them asked, though Mina wasn't sure.

"Oh~ and what about her? Hmm? Last I remembered she wasn't supposed to be here." He purred, eyeing the blue skinned girl.

She rolled her eyes, unfazed. "I didn't really have a choice, dipshit." She spat back.

Shinsou shrugged, looking up at the ceiling with a contempt look in his eye. Yea, he missed most of the important stuff, but he was already pretty good at all this lovey dovey shenanigans. After all, he'd been called a hero his whole life. Despite his rather villainous ability, people believed that he could take down any villain if he so wanted.

But, things hadn't turned out that way. When All Might heard of him, he wasn't please. So, Shinsou was forced into this villain school, even if he wasn't into the villain course and instead in general studies.

Shinsou was happy with how things currently were, and he was anticipating what would happen next. Would this all be for nothing when their Bakugou got back? Or have they actually changed for the better.

As hard as it was to believe, it was most possible the latter. They really were trying to be better and it showed. Sure, it might cause some backlash and more-hatred-than-usual against them. But he saw it as something that would be so incredibly powerful in the future, something so important to not just him but to society that he wanted to be apart of it.

The way that the heroes and villains were would never change. Obviously. Villain would always rule over and heroes would always try and stop them, even if it was futile in the end. But perhaps more of a compromise between the villains and the innocents. Not all villains were murderous, heart-less beings like all might. They had lives and people they loved, and he didn't see why they should be forced to kill those who have done no wrong.

It was a useless dream, sure. But he was still a bit hopeful that someday, somehow, things would get better.
