Jet Stream (Kirishima x OC)

Chapter 55: Eri

"PFFFTT!!!!" I laugh boisterously the next evening as Bakugo re-enacts the beautiful story of what happened during his provisional lessons that day. "Glamouroki!!!! Oh my gosh I want to see that so bad!!! Do it again, do it again!" I plead with my friend to repeat his hysterical impression of Todoroki he had already done.

"I'm not fucking doing it again, but it was freaking hilarious!" Bakugo sneers before he chuckles lightly at the memory.

"Todoroki! You do it!" I leave my friend and go to the boy in question, rushing over and batting his shoulder repeatedly. "I wanna see what you look like being charming!"

"Do I not normally have charm?" Todoroki asks in confusion, pointing to himself, making myself and several people deadpan.

"No, no you do not." I shake my head slowly from side to side, again patting his shoulder but this time consolingly. "Don't worry, your lack of charm is a part of your natural charm."

"That's confusing." He complains lightly to me. "Furthermore, it was Camie who created an illusion of me, she was the one being... 'charming' earlier today."

"I know, but I so wish I could have seen it." I sigh dramatically, leaving the confused boy as I return back to my studying I had been doing before those two got back to the dorms.

My dad got released from the hospital today and is now at home recovering. Makoto is overseeing his recovery and helping ease the pain of the stab wound just like he had done for me when I had been hurt, both times. Dad's debating on what to do about the agency, but currently there are enough Pro's and sidekicks working there that it can easily keep operating without him actively out in the field anymore.

My dad knows he'll likely have to announce his retirement sooner rather than later, but he's waiting at least until he's recovered enough to handle a press conference. The news is currently eating up everything that happened with the Hassaikai raid, but of course instead of focusing on the positives, they focused on the negatives. After we captured Overhaul, his police transport was intercepted by the League. It figures that Shigaraki would stab him in the back, just waiting until Chisaki was at his lowest and then kicking him while he was down. I may have cut off a few of Overhaul's arms during our fight, but when Shigaraki did it, he made sure they would stay dismembered.

"It's coming. The School Festival." Aizawa tells us a few days later when Monday rolled around, starting our class while wearing his sleeping bag like usual.

"The one that's in the Fall!" I say unnecessarily but boldly as I stand up, proud of my statement.

"Yes... The one that's in the Fall. The one that matches every other school's festival time." Aizawa deadpans at me, and I sit down with a pout, muttering to myself about how I was an idiot earlier in the year.

"Hold on Mr. Aizawa, are you sure this is ok?!" Eijiro stands up as well, asking loudly and worriedly. Kaminari tries to shush him but Eijiro continues on. "There are villains everywhere right now!"

"You're right." Aizawa answers, zipping himself up more in his bag. "That's a reasonable point. However, there are students here besides those in the hero course. You get the spot light every year in the Sport's Festival. This is for everyone else." He goes on to talk about the other courses and how they've all been affected by what has happened to us first year hero course students. He made us feel fairly guilty when he spelled it out like that. He barely stayed awake long enough to tell us we needed to participate in some way.

Iida and Momo took charge as our class reps in gathering ideas on what to do. My idea of a video game tournament was shot down because it would cost far too much to buy all the consoles needed for multiple competitors. Apparently. I got called a 'rich kid' again by Kaminari, so I just pouted in my seat as more ideas were tossed around.
