MHA: A Cat's Way

Ch 91 Hero Names

"Karma!"

"Overboard!"

"Vengeance!"

"Excessive force!"

"I used excessive force on your mom last night!"

"Kaminari! Inappropriate!"

"Revelry in the dark."

Evidently, avoiding most of the others until class on Monday means that instead of them dealing with the fact I broke Shinso's legs on their own, they felt the need to wait until we were all together. In class. Doesn't make much sense to me, but it... is my business, actually. But I don't particularly care, so why's it such a big deal for the others?

Half the class thinks that I went overboard, while the other half thinks I was justified. Well, it's more of a quarter that actually supports my decision to break his legs, but the others are at least of the mind that it's not an unreasonable amount of damage.

I'm not surprised that Iida is in the first half of the demographic, given he's never liked me and is a stickler for the rules. Even if he somehow didn't throw a fit over what I had my cats do, odds are pretty good he'd be lecturing me about how I skipped out on the ceremony afterwards. You'd think with his brother crippled he'd have other things on his mind, but I guess he's latching onto familiarity in an attempt to take his mind off of it.

I wonder why he went after Ingenium though, from what the Cult has gathered on him, he's actually a good hero. Outside of his usual target range.

Maybe I'll send a cat to investigate, but it will really depend on where I end up interning. If it's too far for me to show up myself, I probably won't bother. No point if I can't deal with him myself. Although...

My eyes drift to the speedster as he lectures Kaminari on what's appropriate to say on school grounds. They focus not on his robotically chopping arms, or the movements of his mouth. No, what catches my interest are his eyes. Even while looking at the electric doofus in front of him, his eyes are distant. I know those eyes. They aren't looking at his surroundings, at the now.

He's looking at the future, at the vengeance he seeks. I smirk. It looks like he actually has some backbone~. But does he have the resolve to see it through?

"Yeah, I figured you'd find the debate funny." Midorinya sighs beside me, his arms crossed while he leans back against the desk next to mine. "You could at least chime in, you know. It would at least quiet down some of them."

I chuckle when I see Minya flick a glob of her acid at Sero, causing him to shout in surprise as he tries to wipe it off only to realize that it's maxed on viscosity instead of having any actual acidity and he basically just smeared it all over himself. Meanwhile Tormew is poking people and acting like it was someone else, causing the 'overboard' group to start turning on themselves.

"Meow, where would be the fun inya that?" He just sighs in exasperation.

"Where's Aizawa when you need him?"

As if his words are a summons, Aizawa walks through the door, glaring at the crowd of students who rapidly disperse and return to their seats. But as his gaze travels through the room I would swear that I feel a sense of hostility from him. It's brief though, gone too fast for me to be sure whether or not it was just my imagination.

"We have a big class today on hero informatics."

You can practically hear the panic of the less studious members of the class at his unusual word choice. For once, he only lets them panic for a moment before explaining. "You need code names. It's time to pick your hero identities."
