All For None

Chapter 2: Tension

You will never realize the worth of something until you lose it.

That one quote never sounded truer to Bakugo Katsuki.

One evening he feels infuriated, the next day he is greeted with clashing and disturbing mixed feelings. One evening he sees the green haired nerd, the next day... Izuku is reported missing. Just like life, the world moves on everyday until a year had almost passed by.

Sitting in a classroom was Bakugo; posture slouched as he idly taps his feet unto the floor's pavement. Although he was physically in the classroom, his mind wandered to an entire new place. The lessons from the teacher aren't registering in his mind. They were just coming in and out of his ear. To everyone else he might seem like he is uninterested, but in reality he was agitated. Bakugo takes side glances at the seat that once occupied the student named Midoriya Izuku.

Bakugo didn't think that day would be the last time that he would see Izuk-Deku. He gritted his teeth, dammit! Had the nerd actually taken his advice to commit suicide? He certainly hoped not. However from the looks of things...

"-Bakugo? Is everything alright?" The worried tone of the teacher prod Bakugo out of his thoughts. Looking around the class, he could see his peers giving him looks. Shit, had he been spacing out again?

"N-nothing." That was the only answer the blonde gave to his teacher. The man raised a brow but decided not to bug the teen on what was bothering him. "As I was saying, the exams at UA will be coming up in a week's time. So best of luck to whoever is willing to take up that hero exam."

Right, the UA exam. That had been the biggest talk in town. Despite the low chances of entering the hero school, many students from different schools will still most likely partake in the exams.

"Hey Bakugo, still wanna get into UA academy? There's a high chance you'll get in for sure!" Noodle fingers; one of the lackeys that follow him around questioned.

"Yeah, like a murder will be accepted to be a pro hero someday." A student sneered at Bakugo. Murmurs and some laughs erupted from the classroom. Little did they know of the swelling anger that statement evoked into the explosive teen.

"Oi, who said that" Bakugo's voice was dripped with spiteful venom, silencing the classroom instantly. Even the teacher couldn't do anything for what's to come.

The dragging of a seat echoed around the classroom. Standing up to face Bakugo was a student with black hair. His posture was relaxed, like he hadn't just awakened the potential wrath of a teen equivalent to a volcano. "I said how can a murder. Someone like you be worthy to be a future hero." Each word he said were punctuated with a step, drawing closer to Bakugo until the two were toe to toe with each other.

Bakugo was vividly enraged. This damn extra...

"Got nothing to say for yourself. Everyone knows that you are responsible for Midoriya's 'supposed' missing state. Won't be surprised if you were the one that kille-" He never got to finish his sentence as Bakugo wrenched his uniform's collar, small sparks of explosives heating his clothing.

The entrapped teen didn't quiver at Bakugo's action; instead; he chuckled loudly. "Are you going to kill me just as you did to your childhood friend? Go ahead, try-" His sentence was once again silenced by a strong blow connecting to his cheek. His body fell to the ground from the impact, resulting to gasps emitting everywhere.

"Alright that's enough! Urie, Bakugo back to your seats!" The teacher commanded. The now recognized student; Urie; staggered slightly to his feet while taking a glance at Bakugo's shaken expression. He gave a wry grin to the blonde as he cleaned the small trail of blood from his bleeding nose.
