BNHA Siblings: The Anxious & The Exuberant

Return to Normal

All the students begin to settle in for class, but no one can resist discussing the news about the fight at USJ and their classes involvement.

"Who do you think will be teaching us today?"

"No idea, but I'm guessing we won't see Mr. Aizawa for a while"

"You think so?"

"Yeah, I heard he had really bad injuries from that Nomu creature that fought All Might"

Hiroko flinches at the mention of the Nomu. Todoroki notices and looks over her with concern. The students continue speculating and discussing the events of the attack. When the door to the classroom slams open.

"Quiet down we have much to discuss today," Aizawa announces while receive gasps from the students. He has bandages wrapping him up like a mummy. Hiroko flinches again knowing the Nomu is the main cause for all of it.

Momo is the first to ask, "Sir, are you well enough to teach again?"

"My health is of little concern. Especially since we have to discuss the upcoming U.A. sports festival," Aizawa explains.

The students earlier worries evaporate and they begin cheering about getting to be a part of something even greater than the Olympics. Everyone starts feeling pumped about getting a chance to show off their quirks and get a chance to be scouted.

Hiroko feels conflicted. She is glad her teacher is doing well enough to teach again, but Aizawa shows signs of pain she can't help flinching thinking back to the Nomu.

The bell rings for lunch and Hiroko darts of to the cafeteria, ahead of the rest of her classmates. Finding a seat at a smaller table she begins eating her lunch when Tsu approaches. Hiroko quickly pulls her mask back up to cover her face.

"Can I sit with you, Hiroko?" Tsu asks.

"Sure, there's plenty of room," Hiroko gestures to the few seats.

"If that's the case then you won't mind if we join too?" Momo asks with Todoroki being behind her.

"Of course not," Hiroko states.

"So why do you wear that mask, Hiroko?" Tsu ask blatantly.

Hiroko freezes from the abrupt question and then laughs nervously. Momo and Todoroki stare wide eyed at Tsu then to Hiroko.

Hiroko rubs the back of her neck from nerves, "It's actually for two reasons."

Momo interrupts, "You don't have to explain if it's too personal." She is concerned after seeing Hiroko's initial reaction to the question.

Even Todoroki shows concerns and is checking to see if she's being sincere in sharing. He also can't deny he's curious to know more about the quirk he's saw flare up at the Battle Trials and just before he arrived to help All Might at the USJ.

"No, it's alright I just wasn't expecting the question," Hiroko explains before adjusting her mask to make sure its secure. "I mainly wear it because I don't have great control over my second quirk and the mask helps remind me to control my temper when I feel the heat buildup."

"You have two quirks?!" Momo shouts with surprise and excitement.

Hiroko chuckles, "Yeah my main quirk is the 'Pull' one you've seen me use and the other is 'Fire Breathe.' I've only used it a few times so far so its not too surprising most don't know."

"That's really cool you have a second quirk to fall back on. I'm sure you will master it in no time," Momo cheers for Hiroko.

Hiroko begins laughing nervously, "Yeah I hope so. Its not one I want to lose control on."
