"That is why it is your duties to become top heroes for the next generation."
Aizawa explained, stern in his voice.

Midoriya nodded his head, "so they really have no way of fighting against me. Nice, I have nothing to worry about.
Now I need to figure out who these two traitors are before they figure me out. Granted they won't but I don't like not knowing. What if I accidentally kill them or something"
He thought to himself, looking around at his classmates.
"the issue now is, technically I can use the active portion of my quirk and have us to that the traitors reveal themselves to me.
But that could go 1 of 2 ways.
Either they figure out my identity because of my quirk or the whole school figures out their identity because of my quirk.
If I'm not specific enough,I can't exactly choose the scenario for the reveal to happen.
Tch."
He yawned, a bit annoyed.

Aizawa went on to teach for the rest of the period, but after that was done, the investigation began.
The only issue was, Midoriya had absolutely no idea how to investigate.
"What do I do?
Where do I start?"
He asked himself, looking around the lunchroom with a tad bit of confusion.
"Trying to find the traitor is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
I need a magnet"
He thought to himself, growing even more frustrated by the second.
He groaned as he grabbed his lunch and sat down, "okay what do I know...?
There's two traitors. Considering AFO referred to at least 1 of them as a male, it has to be some dude in my class.
Ok.
That barely narrowed anything down."
Midoriya mentalled face palmed as he grabbed his sandwich and dug in.
The same group from yesterday joined in, comfortable with following the same seating pattern.

"let's think. They have to be searching for me too right?
So whoever this is has to be acting odd today.
Alright"
Midoriya thought to himself, breaking out a smile as his aquantices sat by and began conversation.

"Sooo"
Kirishima began, breaking the silence of the table.
"What're y'all up to this weekend?"
He asked.

"No idea, I barely leave my house"
Kaminari replied with a chuckle.

"Same"
Sero added.

"So what I'm hearing is that you're all free. We should hang out!"
Kirishima cheered, smiling brightly.

"Ooo you have any ideas as to where to?"
Kaminari asked.

"There's an arcade that opened up near the school recently. We could go there?"
Kirishima offered.

"Sounds like fun, who else should we invite?"
Sero asked.

"Well everyone at this table is invited, will you go Midoriya?"
Kaminari asked as well.

"Yeah I'm free, not like I do anything with my free time."

"What about you Todoroki, Bakugo?"

"Tch, I'm only going because I was already planning to go myself"
Bakugo grumbled.

"What's an arcade"
Todoroki asked, deadpanned.

The table fell silent as they all looked at him, genuinely surprised.
"...you don't know what an arcade is?"

"no."

"I'm sorry to hear you were robbed of a childhood. "

"Kaminari you don't just say that-"

"An arcade is a place full of a variety of games. You pay to play and you can sometimes earn stuff by winning. "
Sero explained, trying to push the previous statement away.
