Mystery from Another World

Part 112: Medea and Monoma (IC)

[OP: "This Girl is On Fire"--]

Medea and Lethe had expected Shigaraki to follow them, and when he didn't, they panicked and tried to find someone else to help, like heroes.

In doing so they blindly ran into a section with more nomu in it. Only later did people realize some of them multiplied to make that more likely.

Medea burned one in a state of pure adrenaline, and it actually worked, but that didn't deter another one that looked like a very ugly dinosaur from chasing them.

Lethe was a lot slower than she was, her quirk made her feet lighter with the flame effect, so he was lagging behind now.

Medea suddenly pushed him into a store with an unlocked door.

"I'll ure it was and then lose it by going through wall,s" she said. "Just hide here and I'll come back."

"Th'ats dagnoeus"! Lethe said. "And I yo ptsheros the kidney fo stress, things can go wrong."

"It's all be nothing for me," Meaid back up boin he could stop her and turned herself to flame and sprinted away. 

The nomu sighted her and went after he like a dingo after a baby animal.

She whipped around a few corners, but then she began to feel the overuse of her quirk. Her skin started to burn the way chemicals burn, and her lungs began to also.

She managed to propelherslf through one buildling before her flame went out and she stumbled, seeing dark spot in her visions, onto the sidwalke on the other side of it.

Then she ran into WAht she thought was a pole because of the spoty visions, but it felt warma ND turns out, it was a person.

"Hey!" they cried irritatedly. "Can't you see I'm trign ot--wait, I know you!"

Medea blina an EHR visno Clare ada little.

IT was the one UA kid! the blond eone with the weird expression.

Only he was in a long coat with a pucn of watches on it and he ooekd ene ore mpsised than last time.

"Oh," she said. "Hi."

"What are you doing here?" he demanded.

"Oh...uh... shopping," Medea lied. "Until the frekan xoamibe acopocnals started naway. Why're you here?" 

You amfo this but I'm actually a hero student," he said, hffil "I Was here on work study with a Pro, I heard some of the 1-A jerks ere around too, though I don't know which one they were with, but disa tens o follow them around, so tis not nsio this attack started."

"Oh ye as it tls their fault," Medea Sai dryl. "dfienin ot just semoen pickgin the city for other reasons. I bet most val wake up and thinkgina 'how CNA I screw with class 1-A form Ua highschool today'?"

"The LOV does, and they use those things, thsoer call Naomi by the way.'

"I know th they are idiot, I was just being funny," Medea drea w depe breath. "You alsh got chip on you shodule rabout 1-A?"

"I..." he hesitated. "I jsu think they get credit for being better than 1-B, but we're just as atlaneted."

He did nkwo why he was telling her this of all pole.

"But everyone talks bot 1-A right?" MEdeai sid. "So what if hty are just more taltne then you?"

He flinched. 'They're not. We have recommendioatn students also. And pweouf qirks."

"MAby you just don't market youselfs right ten," MEaes suggested. "My boss says that goes for a lot. At least, some of them say that."
