Trust in Him

Chapter 13

"So you're thinking maybe a villain snuck on campus yesterday when the press came here?" Hina leans back in her chair, looking up at the ceiling. "Do you think they stole something? Unless no one actually came in. The teacher's would have done a thorough search, and we didn't hear anything about a villain being found. So perhaps it was a warning? Like, 'This is war,' or something? Hm.... I don't know, neither of those sound right. What do you think? You saw this yesterday, right? So surely you've come with with more ideas than me."

Kimi nods, pursing her lips. "I've been thinking about it a lot. I have a few theories. My first theory was the warning idea that you brought up, but why would a villian warn about war? They'd strike in the night, and the deaths or damage or whatever would be the warning. So another theory was that maybe this is a test? Like, he's trying to see what he can get away with. It could also be a prank, but I don't think anyone would destroy part of U.A. as a prank... Besides, it's not even April Fool's Day." She sighs, putting her elbows on the desk and leaning onto her hands. "It doesn't make much sense. Should we share our theories with the teachers, though? Just in case?"

"Mmm I think we should. We should also talk with Momo to see if she has any ideas herself." Hina nods, also leaning forward. "She might have some insight for us--"

"Alright, everyone. Shut up." Aizawa enters the classroom, looking annoyed as he steps up to his desk. "Now, for today's basic hero training... this time, All Might, myself, and one other will supervise."

"'One other'?" Hina murmurs. "Who could it be?"

"I dunno." Kimi whispers back, shrugging. "I think it's a special class, though."

"Um, what're we doing, exactly?!" Sero, the boy at the desk next to them, asks loudly.

"Preparing you for disaster relief, from fires to floods." Aizawa holds out a plastic card with the word 'Rescue' in big, bold blue letters.

"It's rescue training!!"

"Rescue, huh... sounds like another rough day." Kaminari sighs, looking a little worried.

"Right!"

"Mina looks super excited." Hina notes with a smile. "I'm glad at least one other person's excited."

"Come on, this is what being a hero's all about!! I'm pumped!!" Kirishima cheers, leaning over his desk to lightly punch Kaminari's shoulder.

"I'll be right at home in a flood. Ribbit."

"Hey. I'm not done." Aizawa glares at the class, causing everyone to shiver. "It's up to each of you whether or not you wear your costumes. As some of them are ill-suited to this sort of activity." He pushes a button, causing the walls to open up as he continues speaking. "The training site is a bit remote, so we'll be going by bus. That's all. Get ready."

"Rescue training." Hina smiles. "I hope I'll do well at that. I'll probably work best in situations where people need to be warmed up, honestly."

"Maybe, but I'm sure you'll do well just about anywhere else, too." Momo smiles, coming to stand beside Hina. "Are you going to use your hero costume?"

Hina nods. "I think I will. I packed extra food today in case I have to use my Quirk more, so I can put the food in the wrap-around pockets."

"Alright. Shall we grab our costumes and get changed, then?"

"Mhm!"

"Oh, Katsuki! I forgot to tell you yesterday, but I really like your hero costume!" Hina runs up to Katsuki, a grin on her face.

"The gauntlets on your arms look like grenades. It's perfect for you since your temper is explosive." Kimi winks, a sly smile on her face.

"My temper is perfectly fine, Android! They're grenades because I'm as powerful as an explosion!! And anyway, Space Heater, what're you wearing?! You're showing your body off to everyone! I can see your stupid thighs! Cover up!!" Katsuki yells, glaring at her. "That butt cape doesn't cut it!!"
