Trust in Him

Chapter 12

"What's it like learning from All Might?"

"Eep-!" Hina flinches as a microphone is shoved into her face.

"C'mon, tell us! We wanna know!"

"Hey, chill out. She doesn't have to answer if she doesn't want to." Kimi steps in front of Hina, her hands on her hips as she glares at the reporters. "Besides, did you even ask if she wanted to be on camera? No, you didn't. Ask first, you little--"

"Kimi, it's okay!" Hina places a hand on Kimi's shoulder, stepping up next to her. "I don't mind answering a few questions, I suppose. Besides, you know how I feel about cursing and name-calling," she glares at Kimi a bit, "and I know I didn't program you do do that stuff. I know you learned it from Katsuki, but you need to be able to reign that stuff in, okay?"

Kimi sighs, shaking her head. "Fine, fine. I won't name-call."

"Thank you. Now, about your question," she turns back to the reporters, "I suppose it's alright? He's loud, but he's definitely trying his best to teach us how to be great heroes. He's teaching us how to use our powers in fighting against villains without going over-the-top and hurting them more than is necessary to restrain them." She smiles, putting her hands together in front of ehr and looking down. "I like learning from him, but my homeroom teacher is still my favorite."

"Who might your homeroom teacher be?" The reporter asked with interest. "How could they be any better than All Might?"

"Ah, well he's not really well-known, and I don't even know if he'd be okay with me talking about him to reporters or anything..." She rubs the nape of her neck sheepishly, closing her eyes.

"You're right. I'd rather the reporters not be talking about me. You can't help it sometimes, though."

Kimi screeches, jumping back and landing on one foot, her hands and other foot out in front of her as if in protection.

"JEEZ-LOUISE, MAN!! You're gonna make me short-circuit!" She yells, her eyes wide as she realizes it was just Aizawa-Sensei.

Hina flinches, turning around slowly and looking in her teachers eyes guiltily.

Aizawa was glaring at the reporters, his arms crossed.

"Does All M- You're a mess!! Who are you, anyway?!"

"All Might is off today. You're interrupting our classes. Please leave." Aizawa shoos the reporters with his hand before turning around and starting his walk back. "C'mon, you two. You don't want to be late for class."

"Ah- Coming!" Hina jogs to catch up, embarrassed that he seems to have overheard her saying he was his favorite.

"Don't leave me behind!" Kimi grumbles, catching up to Hina and walking beside her.

"We'd like a direct interview with All Might!!"

"Why are you so sloppy-looking?!"

"I feel like I've seen him somewhere. Maybe not..."

"All Might."

"All Might."

"All Might."

Everyone is chattering loudly about All Might, wanting to learn more about him and get interviews.

"Come on!! We'd just like to ask All Might about..." The reporter thrusts her microphone forward, taking a step toward the UA gate.

"No, don't-"

Beeep

Hmm

KLANG

"WAHHH, what the he--?!"
