Hitoshi walked up. Trying his best to seem indifferent to the situation and his peers. But he was a nervous wreck.

"Come on... This is what you've been training for! You can do this Hitoshi! Don't blow this... Who knows what Eraser did to get you in this training exercise. This could be my only chance, screw up too much and they'll never take me seriously..."

Kira sighed. 'Someone's nervous. Am I supposed to fix that?' She looked over at Aizawa who was next to Shinso.

"It's that guy!"

"That's the guy that brainwashed Midoriya... I remember him."

"Aw!! He's a tiny Eraserhead!!"

"Is that Aizawa's scarf?!"

"Last time I was in his control I saw the vestiges... Was it coincidence? Or did his quirk trigger something? Like a state of hypnosis where I was exposed to my subconscious... I don't know anything about that stuff..."

"He'll never win if he lets his nerves get to him." Aizawa thought with a frown. "Want to say a few words?"

"I'm... I'm Hitoshi Shinsou." He said.
"God damn it! They already know that. Alright just breath and stop shaking damn it! How is this worse than the sports festival?!"

"I've already faced a few of you as opponents... But we're not friends just because we fought each other." Shinsou said. Kira raised an eyebrow. She was behind a lot of the group, she wasn't even sure if he could see her or not.
"I'm still competing. And I'm light-years behind the rest of you. But one day I will become a proper hero. And I'll use my quirk to help people in need."

Kira nodded along.

"All of you are obstacles I need to overcome. I'm not here to make friends." He finished. "Was that too harsh? It's not like they want to be friends with me anyways... There's the green haired guy... Where is she?"

"Thanks for having me." He added.

"This guy sounds like a jerk." Bakugou thought with a frown. Kira leaned towards him.

"He sounds like you." She whispered. "At least how you were at the beginning of the year."

"Hey!" Bakugou snapped with an eyeroll. "Shut up!"

"Nah." Kira shrugged and walked through the crowd of students, that clapped for Shinsou.

"He's so serious!"

"Be on guard..."

"I like this guy!"

"What are you doing?!" Bakugou whispered as Kira walked up towards Shinsou.

"Making friends." Kira responded with a smile.

"He said he didn't want friends!" Bakugou groaned but stayed close behind Kira anyways.

She stopped in front of Shinso and stuck out her hand. "Nice to see you again."
He stared at her for a second. Then at her hand.

"Shit it's her. I don't know how I'm supposed to... Man I still don't know much about her. She's one of erasers closest students and she's all Might's niece. Shit I hesitated too much... Her hand-"

"You gonna take it or what?" Bakugou snapped with an eyeroll.

"Play nice Katsuki." Kira said, glancing up at Bakugou. "Or walk over there. Either is fine."

Shinso took her hand and shook it. Hoping to get it over with. "Kira Kokoa, Mindreader." She introduced herself. Though she knew he already knew her name. He had no idea about her quirk.
