"Wasn't it exciting to be recognized by so many people?!" Ochako asked, standing right next to Izuku's desk, blocking Kyouka's view of the boy.

Izuku rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know if I would say that... Personally, it was mostly exhausting and embarrassing. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little flattered by the support people were giving."

"I felt quite embarrassed myself. I had to ask father to install the tinted windows on our limousine when we went out for dinner yesterday." Momo sympathized, while Ochako and Izuku looked at her in disbelief. "What is it?"

Ochako felt her entire body freeze up. "L-L-Limousine...? L-Like the car?"

"Wow, you have a real extravagant lifestyle, don't you, Yaoyorozu?"

"Hm? Well, I suppose it would seem a little extravagant. But that might be an over-exaggeration." Momo turned to Kyouka. "My life doesn't sound that extravagant, does it, Jirou?"

"I'm sorry, I can't hear very well with Ochako's butt taking up most of my view." Kyouka bluntly said, leaning to the side to get a view of her hero.

Ochako's cheeks went a little red before quickly stepping away. "S-Sorry about that, Jirou. I wasn't paying attention."

"Jirou, is something wrong?" Momo asked in concern. "You don't currently seem much like yourself."

"Well, I'm in a bit of an annoyed mood if you can't tell." Kyouka grumbled out.

"She's been like this ever since we got off the train. I've asked her multiple times why she's suddenly annoyed, but I can't get an answer out of her." Izuku explained, looking at Momo and Ochako.

Kyouka sighed. "I keep telling you, it's nothing to worry about, Izuku. I'm just feeling cranky. Maybe it's the rainy morning combined with all the constant attention we've been getting that's making my mood down. I'm sure my mood will perk up any minute now."

In reality, the cause of her mood came from a certain conversation Kyouka overheard on the train.

"How were you able to keep up with Todoroki like that? His quirk is insane. And just how cold was his ice? How hot was his fire? You were the only person who experienced both." A random man asked Izuku, getting in his face.

"W-Well, I guess you could sa-"

A woman approached the boy. "My kid couldn't stop cheering for you and neither could I! I look forward to next year's festival!"

Kyouka sighed at the two adults standing right between her and Izuku. "Guys, please give him some spac-"

Another woman got in between the two friends, looking at the girl. "Jirou, I just want to say that my daughter was so inspired by watching your fight against Bakugo. I'm so grateful."

"Okay, cool, but can you not-"

The woman then held both of her hands. "And if you know that Uraraka girl then please extend my gratitude to her as well."

Kyouka closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. 'I can't jam my earphone jacks into this woman or the two people bugging Izuku. That would be wrong... and illegal. Mostly illegal.'

Kyouka continued to slowly breathe in and out as the woman continued to talk her ears off about how much of an inspiration she is.

Meanwhile, two highschool girls that respectively had cat and bunny ears were standing across the train car, talking amongst themselves.
