Deku shook his head, upset. How dare he bring up something like that, that was a memory Deku had remembered as a day her realized Bakugo was human and wasn't perfect. It made him admire his friend more seeing the slight weakness. "Bakugo and I went to the same school before UA. He found out I was wanting to get into UA and threatened me, he basically told me to kill myself." He looked at his friend angrily as the class gasped. Bakugo, for the first time looked taken by surprise, "that's not fair, Deku."
"It isn't? What kind of friend says that to another friend?" He stood up.
"That was so long ago. Get over it."
"Get over it?" Tears welled up in his eyes. "I'll be a better hero than you'll ever be, Bakugo. Get over that."
For the first time, Bakugo didn't even protest to his words. He sat there quietly, not saying another word. Rya looked at the two boys, what else was going to happen? It was already so intense.
All Might stood up and looked at the class, "I think it might be fair for the teachers to share something too." He lifted his shirt to reveal his scar to the whole class. "As you all know, I'm retired from being a hero. This is why. I received this during battle and not even surgery could save my stomach or help me recover. I lived every day in fear that I couldn't save people because of how much strain it put on me. I was terrified that the people of Tokyo wouldn't accept me retiring or welcome me into their society. They did and I am so grateful for it."
The class clapped, after his story, most of the class knew what he had went through already but Rya didn't. That surprised her more than the first two stories. The little testimonies went on and on, each one was deep and raw. Rya didn't know what to do when it was her turn, what story would she share? There were so many. Turns out, she wasn't the only one who used to be subjected to ridicule, Sero was teased for his quirk being so simple, Koji for being too quiet and Tsu for looking like a frog. She wasn't alone, it was nice to hear their struggles even though they were things they suffered through. Her brother, Mezo stood up and her attention locked on him, what was he about to do? What would he say? "When I was younger, a little girl ran into, took one look at my face and started crying. Ever since then, I have been wearing this mask over my face. Showing people the lower half of my face is my biggest insecurity because I don't want anyone to feel scared when they see me as a hero." He looked at his sister who gave him an encouraging nod before he tore the mask off his face to reveal his wide Cheshire Cat like mouth.
The silence that he received made him feel as if he did the wrong thing. Was it too early to show them? He wished the ground would just swallow him whole, what made him do something so ridiculous?
"All this time and you've been hiding that from us?" Momo spoke up. "That's not scary." She reassured him. He let out a breath of grateful relief.
"Seriously, I've seen worse in my nightmares." Kirishima spoke up, making Mezo chuckle.
"Bro, you have a guy with tape elbows and a girl with horns and pink skin as friends and you're worried about how your face looks." Sero spoke up. "We're all a bunch of freaks up in this class."
Aizawa stood back in appreciation, seeing his class accept every story they had to share with each other. He looked over at Rya who seemed to shrink under his gaze, she knew it was her turn. He beckoned her up, standing next to her brother.
"She can do this on her own, Shoji." His Sensei sent him to sit with the others, she didn't have her brother to comfort her this time. She had to use her own bravery. she looked at everyone in front of her, some still looked displeased with her about the other night and some of them just waited for her to speak. "Listen, I think it's clear that everyone knows I've been dealing with some problems." She started, observing the class again. "I was ridiculed all of my life because of how my body looked compared to other girls. They called me, umm...Fatty Rye or Cry Baby Rye. Every time I encountered them, I would cry." She knotted her fingers together nervously. "My quirk didn't show up until I was ten, When it did a whole other form of torture took over my life. I thought that's in e I have a quirk now, maybe I would be respected just like the others in class. That wasn't at all what happened."
She looked at her Sensei, hoping she wasn't taking too long to explain, he gave her a nod to keep going. He knew she had more to say.
"One person in school made my life a living hell, followed me to my private school that I went to just before UA and turned the school against me." She explained what happened with the note she sent to the boy such a long time ago and how it sparked the hatred she feels to that day. Everything she felt, experience and endured she expressed with heartfelt sincerity. She hoped, just like Mezo, that she wouldn't be considered crazy, that she would be accepted this time. She couldn't bear her soul to the class and get rejected again, not again. Please not again. "Even now, this student has turned UA against me. Ever since last night, I've been receiving upsetting texts from him and the people he's recruited to antagonize me." Rya felt the tears sting in her eyes, not now. She didn't want to cry right now, out of everything she expressed to them, this was one she didn't want to display. "All my life, I've been without friends-" Momo approached her, studying her strong and enduring face. "I'm your friend."
