The third day went by just like yesterday, but the difference is that I didn't go blind this time and Bakugou wanted to train a bit more with me. An opportunity I took advantage of, and tried to master a move I always wanted to do. I called it, the Puppeteer.

Since I knew how my quirk could work, I have always wanted to attempt this, stop my opponent's muscles, but control them through my body. But that didn't work as I expected.

Now, we had to make our dinner again, which I did help making this time. Bakugou kept me by his side chopping off ingredients and I couldn't contain my amazement at how skilled he was with that kitchen knife.

Such a housewife.

Cue my nosebleed. I tilted my head back and pressed on the bridge of my nose, trying to stop the bleeding.

"God damnit, why the fuck do you have so many fucking nosebleeds lately?!" Bakugou yelled at me and handed me some tissues from his pants pockets.

Because I've been thinking of lewd things about you Katsuki, more often than what I'd like to admit.

"I've always had nosebleeds when the sun hits my head or nape for long periods of time," I improvised a quick lie between my teeth, he seemed to buy it though.

"Go clean up when it stops and come back here to help me." I nod and head towards the bathroom.

Hopefully, it stopped pretty quickly and I could go back to help that cute yet angry puppy.

Jiro looked at me with a tiny smile and a bit of a blush on her face. The lots for the bravery test had been drawn and I could see Bakugou shaking in his shoes with anger.

He stumped towards us and stared harshly at poor Jiro, who flinched and backed away from him. "Earlobs, change with me," he told her in a loud and menacing voice, she just shook her head. Bakugou had his frown deepening but turned away and went to threaten poor Ojiro.

"He's so scary," I chuckled at her words, and shrugged when she looked at me curiously.

"Not so much once you get to know him," my eyes were following him wherever he went, and I almost felt my pupils turning into big red hearts.

"I know we don't know each other very well, (L/n)-kun, but..." I snapped out of my trance to look at her, she was playing with her earbuds. "Do you like... Bakugou? Like, are you gay or some...?" I noticed her nervousness and how she wasn't making eye contact with me. I chuckled at being read again, the second person to find out my crush on him.

"I do like Bakugou, but... I know he doesn't like boys either way, so there's no point in confessing." I walked away when I saw Izuku standing on his own, "Hey Deku," he turned around and smiled at me.

"Hi, (M/n), how are you?"

We started a small talk until I had to go stand with Jiro to go through the path in the woods. We were silent, and she was clinging to me, afraid. I didn't mind it though.

"You don't like scary things, do you Jiro-chan?" She whined and got closer to me shaking her head.

"I hate them," I chuckled but didn't say anything else. The silence of the night made any kind of noise clear, and I heard a buzzing-like noise, which made me turn around.

"What is that?" Jiro turned too and made a confused noise, she let go of my arm and walked to the pink cloud of gas, "Jiro I don't think you should-."

Right when I was about to finish my sentence, her body began to fall. Immediately, I ran to her and picked her up.

"Jiro! Jiro, Jiro come on, wake up." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the gas coming closer rather rapidly, "Fucking-," I carried her bridal style, making sure to cover her face and I ran ahead following the path.

The gas was closing in from my sides, so I had to hold my breath, at some point, I ought to find another team. Bakugou and Todoroki had gone ahead of us, so I should find them first. I was worried about what the gas would do to Jiro, the worst case I could think of was...

No, no, now it's not the time to be pessimistic. Keep running, (M/n).

My sight was turning blurry and I was getting dizzy, but before I could give up and fall to the ground, I saw two bodies walking ahead and talking, "We'll leave everything to Ragdoll." Todoroki said to Bakugou, who was covering his mouth and nose with his hand. I ran faster.

The noise I was making made them turn around, and I noticed somebody on Todoroki's back, he was from 1B, seeing as I didn't recognize him.

"(L/n)!" They both exclaimed and I stopped between them, trying to catch my breath.

"Are you okay?" I nodded and after some seconds, I kept walking.

"We have to keep going, we don't know from where is that gas coming from and it might catch up to us." They followed me without a word. The three of us kept walking forward in complete silence, but abruptly stopped when we saw a body kneeling before us.

"Oi, there's someone there? It's..." I looked at Bakugou, who was staring straight ahead. I did too. "Who went before us?" Bakugou asked with a concerned tone of voice.

"Tokoyami and Shoji," The figure in front of us was kneeling on the ground, a cut-off hand before him.

He was mumbling. "How pretty... so pretty... no, I must work... I was charmed... no... what beautiful skin... ah, don't tease me... I have work to do..." The three of us were completely shocked.

"Not fight...?" Bakugou began muttering when a female voice rang inside my head.

"Everyone from class A and B! In the name of the pro hero, Eraser Head, you're allowed to combat! I repeat! Everyone from class A and B! In the name of the pro hero, Eraser Head, you're allowed to combat!" The villain hadn't attacked us yet, but my body was extremely tense, even more so now with Mandalay's message. "We've discovered two of the villains' targets! Two students: Kacchan and (M/n)! Kacchan and (M/n) have to avoid combat and act independently! Got it, Kacchan, (M/n)?!" Even before Mandalay's message was over, Bakugou was running towards the villain. I activated my quirk.

"So much noise in my head with that 'Kacchan' shit!" The villain shot his attack at us, and I managed to stop Bakugou's legs to keep him from running forward as Todoroki made a wall of ice.

Thank you Todoroki for your ice, otherwise, we would have turned into tiny pieces of delicious meat.

"Don't do anything imprudent!" I yelled at him, and he growled.

"I have to keep going... I must do my job..." the villain mumbled again, as his blade-like teeth shot at us again, the ice wall going upward a bit more.

"You heard that? She said they're coming after you and (M/n)!" Todoroki yelled at Bakugou too, trying to make him understand the predicament we were in.

"That damn Deku did something. She first tells me to fight and now that I shouldn't! I don't care what they say to me!" Another attack was directed at him, but I stopped him once again, and Todoroki made more ice.

"Can you stop blaming Izuku for once? This is serious Katsuki," I scolded him for his irrational behaviour.

"He's good at covering ground with his quirk," Todoroki seemed like he wanted Bakugou to be rational, but I was sure it wasn't working.

I kept my eyes on the villain. Even if I stopped his muscles, he would still attack us and it's not like I can go and freely attack either.
