It was finally Friday, Midoriya's favorite day of the week. You see, Class E stayed together even after Koro-sensei was gone. They lived in a huge house, bought with some of the reward money they'd earned.

Every Friday, they'd gather for dinner, chatting about school and any upcoming missions. After Koro-sensei's death, the government decided their assassination skills were too valuable to waste. Now, they took on occasional missions to eliminate villains and bad guys. Most missions were done in groups of two to four, though Midoriya wished they could go as a whole class more often. After all, bonding over taking down threats was something they'd come to enjoy—only against those who deserved it, of course.

After school, Midoriya hung out in the common area of the dorms, knowing Sugino and Maehara would be there soon to pick him up. The only tricky part about Fridays was coming up with an excuse for his classmates. It was always the same: "I'm going out with friends." It worked well enough, though he could tell his classmates were starting to get suspicious, especially after their recent encounter with Bitch-sensei.

As expected, his classmates started questioning him yet again.

They were all lounging in the common room when Ritsu messaged that Sugino and Maehara were waiting outside. Midoriya got up to leave, but Mina called after him, "Hey, Midobabe! Where are you going?" He responded like clockwork, "Just going out with some friends, like I do every Friday!" He hoped that would be enough, but Hagakure chimed in, "It's weird that you never hang out with us on Fridays! Even Bakugo stays with us."

"HAH? WHAT WAS THAT, YOU INVISIBLE IDIOT?" Bakugo barked.

Kirishima replied, "Jeez, calm down, Bakubro."

Uraraka added, "Deku-kun, Mina's right!"

While they were distracted, Midoriya discreetly texted Maehara that he'd be a little late. Maehara replied with a thumbs-up, saying he'd go pick up Itona and come back.

"MIDORIYA!" Iida suddenly shouted. "IT IS VERY RUDE TO IGNORE YOUR CLASSMATES AND BE ON YOUR PHONE! YOU SEEM VERY ATTACHED TO THAT DEVICE LATELY!"

Midoriya inwardly sighed.

Iida's outburst caught everyone's attention, though they thankfully didn't press further. Midoriya knew they'd be talking about him the moment he left.

Tokoyami finally spoke up, telling Midoriya to go ahead and not to worry. The rest of the class looked at him with furrowed brows but allowed him to leave peacefully.

Relieved, he said his goodbyes and left the dorms to meet his friends in the car.

Mina couldn't not talk about the recent incident to the group, "You guys saw that right?"

Jirou expressed frustration, "He didn't even care about what we had to say."

Bakugo, as usual, retorted, "Who cares? Just let him be; he's an annoying idiot anyway." Iida begs, "Please don't say that about your classmates." Bakugo replied, "Shut up four-eyes. And why do you guys even care about him anyway?"

Uraraka questioned, "Do you see the way he has been acting recently?"

"It's really odd. And even so, don't forget what happened yesterday." Todoroki added

Kirishima emphasized, "Exactly. Did you see the way he caught that knife that was thrown at him? Like, who catches a knife like that!"

"Wait, what? A knife? what happened while I was in the bathroom?? And are we talking about the same midoriya here?" Ojiro said, Concerned

"No joke. It was like a scene from a ninja movie. Jelavitch throws a knife at him, and he catches it without breaking a sweat." Kaminari said, stars in his eyes

"Ribbit. That's not normal hero stuff. That's like assassin-level reflexes." Tsuyu said

Tokoyami suggested, "You guys could just be reading too much into it."

"Yea, except every time we talk about his past, or anything about his middle school experience, he deflects like a pro." Todoroki said, disturbed

Momo added, "I've noticed that too."

Asui asked Bakugo, "Wait, didn't you go to middle school with him?" Sero urged, "Yeah, you could tell us about him." 

Bakugo, straightforward as ever, stated, "He only went to my school for two years; he transferred for his third year."

Mina needed more information. "Um, okay so what was he like during his 1st and 2nd years?" Bakugo didn't mince words, "A fucking loser, that's what he was like." Iida scolded, "Language, Bakugo!" Bakugo responded cheekily, "Japanese dumbass!" Iida sighed.

Mineta chimed in, "Then he could be texting his friends from the third year, right?" Jirou speculated, "Well, they must be close, considering how much he talks to them."

....

Kaminari, confused, interjected, "Wait, what?" Momo clarified, "What do you mean? He started being on his phone more recently! Unless that is what you mean."

The class stared at Jirou in confusion.

Jirou explained, "You guys cannot be serious, right? In Present Mic's class, he's always blasting away on his phone!"

Uraraka was surprised, "No way, but English is his favorite subject!" Mina added, "And his best one too." Kirishima doubted, "He would never do that. Are you sure, Jirou?"

Jirou affirmed, "I'm sure."

Todoroki suggested, "Maybe we don't know him as well as we think we do."

The class grew silent, unsure of what to say.

Mina broke the silence, "I guess we could ask him some questions when he comes back."

"Great! We could play truth or dare too!" Hagakure suggested,

Momo concluded, "Then it seems we have a plan!"

The kids went back to normal; resuming their typical Friday night activities. They were excited to see what happens next.

After a while, the students grew concerned for Midoriya. He hadn't come home in a while and it was getting late...

"Ugh why isnt he back yet?" Uraraka said, concerned

"He is breaking the curfew, is he not?" Iida said, a hint of concern in his voice

"No no, that doesnt apply on fridays.." Momo said, correcting them

"Do you think someting happened to him?" Mina said.

She had asked the question that everyone was thinking, but too scared to ask

"No. I trust that he is safe. He should be able to take care of himself" Kirishima said

"Yea, plus its getting really late, we should get to bed. We have special combat training tomorrow." Kaminari added

"That shitty nerd will be there tomorrow anyway... He wouldn't miss training." Bakugo exclaimed. Though a few students could sense concern in his voice

Everyone said their goodnights and went to bed
