This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

When they enter the tunnel Torodoki Shoto's hand starts radiating cold energy on his wrist making Denki sigh in content at the soothing touch and he could also feel Torodoki holding his wrist in a gentle hold now.

They both stood in silence with Torodoki Shoto's back turned to Kaminari Denki. 

Denki could not see Torodoki's face, so he had no idea what his expression was. That's when Torodoki Shoto spots Izuku Midoriya walking towards the exit and stops him and says that he wants to speak to him about his quirk.

Izuku Midoriya gulps with a nervous expression waits for Torodoki Shoto to begin whatever he was going to say.

The tense atmosphere between these two was killing Denki.

Now Denki seriously did not want to be part of their conversation. He already made a lot of changes in the timeline and he does not want to be part of this mess as well.

Denki tries to pull away from Torodoki's semi hard grip and Izuku Midoriya stares at him sympathetically.

Denki could feel his senses telling him that Bakugou Katsuki is standing just around the corner listening to their conversation.

Denki wants to escape so badly and his stomach comes to his rescue by grumbling so loudly that Torodoki's grip loses on his wrist and Midoriya looks at him with a look of amusement present on his face.

At that very moment Kaminari Denki's face goes beet red and he does one thing - at which he is best in doing that is, he runs away at full speed and he even bumps into Bakougou Katsuki who says, "Hey!".

But Denki does not stop. Bakugou Katsuki watches his friend with a puzzled expression running towards the cafeteria.

Denki doesn't stop running until he bumps into someone.

Denki rubs his nose and looks at the person, who he has bumped into and exclaims, "Shinsou kun it's so great to see you! Are you going to have  lunch?". Denki asks with some hope in his voice.

Shinsou along with his two general course friends were waiting in line to place the order for their food.

Denki rubs the back of his head and says, "Can I join you as well?. He tilts his head cutely after he finishes saying his sentence.

Denki moves forward towards Shinsou but is stopped by the two general course students, who both cross their hands over their chests and stare at him with intimidation.

The black haired girl with two pigtails is the first one to speak, "Who are you? And what you want with Shinsou". While the other black haired guy recognises him and says, "Hey aren't you with those heroic course students. You are here to bully Shinsou right aren't you?".

The black haired guy starts cracking his knuckles and Denki takes a nervous step back, shocked with accused statements thrown at him.

Seeing his friends ganging up on Kaminari.

Shinsou steps in front of Denki and tells his friends that Kaminari is cool. He is different from his classmates and asks his friends to leave him alone as he wishes to speak with Kaminari. With a nodding look both Shinsou's friends leave Denki alone and walk away.

Soon Shinsou and Kaminari take their lunch order from Mr. Lunch Rush and find some good seats near the big windows and start slurping on their ramen and discussing general things.

Denki intentionally brings his chopstick to lips and says, "I wonder what the next round is going to be?".

Shinsou huffs and says, "What to expect since this is UA it's going to be beyond our wildest imagination".

Denki replies with a soft smile and says, "That's true".

Soon the noon break comes to an end.
Shinsou asks for Kaminari's phone number before they go back to their respective groups.

Kaminari happily gives his number to Shinsou and also gives him a bit of advice.

As the Time traveller knew what the next round was going to be and how badly Shinsou Hitoshi was going to lose against Midoriya and how it would affect him.

Denki with a soft smile says, "Whether it is a win or lose take it as an experience and don't mule over it and just keep on moving forward and perfecting yourself... Good Luck for the second round".

Denki walks away from Shinsou, while Shinsou stares at Kaminari with mixed feelings in his chest.
