My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 3

Chapter 25

        It would be maybe an hour before the three of us heard a knock at the cafe door. The three of us glancing at each other before I stood up and slipped out of the booth, making my way over to the door to see Bakugou-Sensei and Roiyaru waiting on the other side. Roiyaru would wave slightly while Bakugo had his eye around the area. I would open up the door, the bell ringing as I then stepped to the side for them to step in.

        "Explanation, now." Bakugo would speak rather blunt and somewhat stern, letting out a sigh as I explained the situation again to the two. The both of them letting out a heavy sigh before Roiyaru rubbed the bridge of his nose and spoke.

         "Not good... Of course it has to be something dumb like this to set things off again..."

          "What was I supposed to do?! Just walk off and-"

          "Yes, Nosido. You should've gone and got a hero." Bakugo would huff slightly, staring at me for a moment before glancing at the door. "You aren't a hero, while it was a good thing to do. You handled it wrong, you relied on the fear you had in people rather than trying to do it differently."

          "You're... Joking right? You wanted me to just ignore it?" Bakugo would glance at me, thinking for a moment before huffing.

          "No... Just... Wish it was handled better, like I said. You did a good thing, but handled it wrong." I was at a loss for words. I guess he was right, but... It didn't feel right. Not to me at least... I didn't try to fight it anymore though, instead just letting out a sigh and rubbing my face.

           "Just arrest me or something... It'll make people happy."

           "Hell no." Roiyaru snaped a response, glaring at me slightly before bending slightly so we were at eye level. "Kid, I ain't gonna arrest you, no one will be. Bakugo and a few other heroes alongside me are gonna talk with the media. Maybe get a press conference to address your presence in the city, get your name more clear. You're just a kid, you don't deserve all this negative attention."

          "No, I do... I killed people... Innocent people... That can't be forgiven..." The two would fall quiet after that statement, slowly lifting my head to glance at Bakugo, then at Roiyaru before I glanced at the door. "Do whatever you think is right... I'm gonna head home..."

          "I'll give you a ride..." I would nod slightly, Roiyaru stepping out while Bakugo stood there, staring at me for a moment before resting his hand on my head.

         "You remind me of Deku, heh... We'll figure this all out, I promise Nosido. Things will be normal again..." After that, Bakugo would step out, letting out a heavy sigh as I glanced over at Kotsu and Victoria. 

          "I'll see you guys 'round... Kotsu, before I go. What's your number?" Kotsu would smile, getting up and taking his phone out to let me look. I would punch it into my phone before stepping out of the cafe, pulling my hood up again even for the very brief walk to Royaru's car. Still keeping it on as I sat in the passenger seat, Roiyaru would get in and start the car up. Pulling away from the cafe and starting the drive home. The ride was mostly silent, just the radio acting mostly as white noise as I watched the buildings pass by. Rubbing my hands a bit as they had a shaking fit, mumbling somewhat angrily to myself about it. Roiyaru would notice my hands shaking, reaching over and poking them slightly.

            "You should get one of those grip strengthener things, it might help with the shaking if you do that in your free time." I would glance at him after he made the suggestion, thinking about that before glancing at my hands.
