Chapter 116: tongues and balls and balls and tongues

"He was amazing! So manly!" Kirishima's yell shakes me from my thoughts.

It had been about a day since the attack, we were now all back in class waiting for lessons to begin.

As the class spoke merrily about yesterday's triumph, my mind still felt like it was at war.

I'd told Hawks about the Nomu and its quirks, did he not tell Endeavor before the fight?

In fact why didn't they get rid of it before it could even be sent out?

And as I recall my recent conversations with Keigo, a chill runs down my spine.

'He told me not to go to the coast... that he would have dinner with Endeavor...'

I lean forward, bracing against the desk as my breakfast threatened to come back up.

'Why...? Why did he ask me where I'd be? Did he pla-' "Ryo."

I flinch, looking over at Shoto who appeared shocked at my reaction.

"Sorry," I lower my hands and slump against the table.

"I didn't hear you come in. How's Endeavor?"

He looked at me intensely for a bit before his expression relaxes.

"His condition doesn't sound serious."

I nod and force a smile onto my face, "that's good."

It wasn't that I wasn't relieved, I was, I just couldn't help the nagging feeling that there was something more to this incident.

"Ryo, is something wro-" before he can finish, the classroom door slides open and Aizawa walks in.

Thankfully, Shoto doesn't probe any further as Aizawa begins his lesson. Though, to be fair, I found my mind drifting unable to pay attention to his words.

That is until a red light lit up the room and an alarm blared.

"Alert! Alert!" The speaker rang, "Hypothetical villains have infiltrated UA grounds! Assistance from class 1-A is requested!"

Then our hero costume racks sprung from the walls.

"Change into your costumes and report as soon as possible."

'Seems like I won't have the time to think about this today...'

Right now, the extinguishing squad and rescue squad are on a cart created by Momo, being rushed to the scene of a fire by Iida.

Since it was by the river, I joined the extinguishing squad to help with putting out the fire.

The rescue squad were there to save the victim that had been washed out into the river.

We got off to a rocky start, Iida crashing into a rock and flinging us onto the floor.

Thankfully most of us landed okay.

"Yamada, Todoroki!" Iida called and we got to our feet.

"Leave it to us!" I grin.

With a wave of his hand, Shoto made a large ice overhand over the burning building.

I grabbed what I could and poured my energy into it, watching as it melted and splashed on top of the flaming building.

"Excellent job!" Iida cheered.

Just around then, we'd also received word that Froppy and the others had spotted the victim.
