Chapter Eighteen: Go Get 'em Bubbles

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"Why did UA even accept a person like that to a hero course?"

"I heard that she might be the traitor."

"She's probably here to leak information to terrorist groups."

"With that thing around her head, she kinda freaks me out."

"When did UA accept terrorists as heroes?"

Those were the whispers she had heard this morning.

It had been many months since her transfer and just as she thought things were getting better, that she was starting to show people how wrong they were to misjudge her and her faith — those stupid whispers contradicted her theory.

No matter how much anyone tried, some people would still not change their thought process. It was a shame, really. If people would just keep an open mind and educate themselves, innocent Muslims wouldn't be targeted and judged.

It wasn't like those comments were something new to her. Y/N had been through it many times before. Though, this time she wasn't sad but rather angry.

Angry that people still thought of her and her religion like that when she had proven herself to people that she was good enough to be a hero. Many times had she done small successful missions with Pro Hero, Manual,  over the last month that were aired on Japanese News channels.

Y/N's  parents were proud to see their courageous daughter smiling brightly at the camera while Manual was being asked questions. It made Y/N so happy when her parents had called her to say how delighted they were to finally see her in her hero costume and hijab, fighting villains and helping those in need.

Y/N was slowly achieving her dream of becoming a hero. But her dream wasn't fully fulfilled yet — she was yet to show the world her peaceful religion and stand up for those who were being mistreated, Muslim or not, it didn't matter. She would help anyone who needed it.

Pep talking herself into positivity, Y/N made her way to class from the prayer room she had just exited. She had prayed her afternoon prayer.

The hallways of UA were pretty much empty as there were still a few long minutes till lesson. Being that it was still lunchtime, most of Class 2-A were still in the canteen.

"So Bakubro, what's the deal with you and Y/N?" Kirishima asked in a very straightforward manner over the lunch table.
