UA's Conduit

Chapter 23. An Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction.

Inside the student guidance room, a pair of bloodshot crimson eyes groggily open as one Katsuki Bakugou finds himself tied up in chains with suppressor cuffs wrapped around his hands. He tried his best to move around to try and pry the shackles off of him, only to realize that even the chair was bolted to the floor.

His memories were a bit groggy, but he could faintly remember what had happened a few hours ago, judging by the time in the wall clock, it was already late in the afternoon.

He remembered he was in the Sports Festival arena, fighting Deku. He could remember the pain and numbing sensation that Deku's attacks had done to him. Even remembering how he was paralyzed in fear—something that he would never admit, as his opponent was rapidly approaching him with a lightning-covered hand, ready to pierce through him.

That was all he remembers as the memory blurred, until he woke up in his current situation. But that doesn't change the fact that he was humiliated on live television as well as exposed for his past actions.

Katsuki was mad. No, scratch that, he was livid. He was mad at the staff for tying him up like a rabid animal. He was furious that they are treating the future number one hero this horribly. He hated the looks the crowd had given him before and during his match, almost like they were looking at a goddamn villain.

He was no villain. He was nothing like that crusty bastard that had the gall to try to kill All Might back in the USJ. He was the person who would become the number one hero in the future. And he was going to fulfill that no matter what.

But to do that, he needs to think of ways on how to get the fuck out of these fucking restraints.

He tried to scream, but the muzzle on his mouth made it impossible for him. All the profanities that he knew could be suppressed by the cover on his mouth. Seeing that his attempts were futile, he glared daggers at the quirk suppression cuffs covering his hands.

He remembered how his hands numbed during his match in the Finals. It was the first time that he had been pushed to his very limit. He almost reached it during his fight against the Gen-Ed bitch, but it was not the same as his fight with Deku.

Gritting his teeth under the muffle, he can't believe that he lost to Deku(again) of all people. That fucking bastard had been looking down on him, half-assing his way through the start of the school year, and now that it was public, he just had to show-off and make him look better.

Not only that, he also screwed him up by making him lose his focus the moment he played the recording.

Deku, he thought angrily as he grinded his teeth with the metal of the muzzle. When I got my hands on that scum— his thoughts were interrupted when the door flew open. He looked over the door and saw the school principal enter the room, a black folder in the chimera's hands/paws.

"Oh, you're awake? That's good." Nezu said amusingly. "Looks like the built-in taser in your cuffs was unnecessary." The chimera walked over to the table in front of Katsuki, who blinked at the Principal's words. 

Built-in taser? He thought as a bead of sweat fell onto his muzzle.

His thought was then cut-off when Nezu took out a kettle and a teacup from his desk drawer and began making tea which caused a slight eye twitch on Bakugou's part. Pouring in the newly brewed tea into the teacup, the school principal took it to his desk.

"I would have offered you a drink but due to your predicament, I believe you are incapable of enjoying the drink I would offer you." Nezu said, raising his teacup to his mouth, enjoying the annoyed expression within the boy's eyes.

Katsuki watched as the bear/dog/mouse began sipping the tea in such a sophisticated manner, pissing him off. But he could only watch as he was still chained to the chair. Though, that didn't stop him from trying to break free from his shackles.
