Damaged Survival

Ch 4: Villains? Really?

"For the foundational skill of heroics we'll study today," Aizawa said. "It was decided you'll be supervised by a three man team, comprising me, All Might, and somebody else."

"Sensei!" Tape boy called out. "What will we be doing?"

"Be the hero everyone needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster." Aizawa said.  "It's the trial of rescue!" Karian sighed. More work today. He was never excited for this class. 

"Trial of rescue," Kaminari said. "Sounds a bit difficult this time around." Karian rolled his eyes hearing that. He didn't think much of the electric boy.  Karian shook his head as others began talking about being excited for this. Karian just looked out the window as he waited for things to continue. 

"Don't get ahead of yourselves," Aizawa said. "As I was saying, this time it's entirely up to each of you whether or not you wear your costume. Some of your costumes probably aren't adapted to the task at hand after all. The training area is fairly far away, so we'll get there by bus. That's all. Go get prepared."

Karian got up and grabbed his case. He went to the locker rooms and then into the bathroom as he changed. He came back out and put his things into his locker. Without a word he walked ut to the area where the bus was waiting.  He leaned against the side of the bus while he waited for the others. 

"Hey Kimura!" Someone called out. Kairan sighed as he realized it was Kirishima. 

"What do you want now Kirishima?" Karian asked. 

"Want to sit together on the bus?" Kirishima asked with a grin. Karian looked at the boy confused. 

"Why do you keep pushing?" Karian asked. "I think I've made it quite obvious I don't want friends. I'm not the kind of guy you want to be around."

"Because I think you're a good guy," Kirishima said. 

"Why?" Karian asked. 

"You push people away as you say to protect them," Kirishima said. "You choose a lonely life to protect others from something. Not to protect yourself. That's why I know you're a good guy." Kirishima grinned. "And I want to be your friend." Karian sighed. He ran a hand through his hair. 

"Whatever," Karian grumbled. "I can't stop you from doing what you want." Kirishima's grin seemed to widen. Karian turned away from him not knowing how to feel about this. Soon the others showed up and they got onto the bus. Karian was sat next to Kirishima, who was next to the frog girl and then Midoirya. The only bad thing was Kaminari was directly across from Karian and neither was happy about it. Karian sighed and leaned his head back against the window. He kind of zoned everyone out until he heard his name. 

"If we're talking double whammy of flash and strong, you can't not mention Todoroki and Bakugou," Kirishima said. "Even Kimura."

"Bakugou's always fuming so he won't be popular," frog girl said. Karian rolled his eyes. It was always a popularity show with heroes now a days. 

"You bitch!!" Bakugou yelled. "I'll be popular too." Karian glanced up at the fuming blonde who was just above him on the next section on the bus. 

"Kind of sad that we've just met and we all know you're personality is a big pile of flaming trash," Kaminari chuckled. "And Kirishima how can you say Kimura will be popular? He doesn't do anything and always looks down on everyone."

"Even doing nothing, I can still beat your ass," Karian said with his head still leaned back. 

"You know Kimura has that laid back cool style to him though," the pink girl said. "I think he will be popular." Karian glanced at the girl confused. Why did so many people like him? He never did anything to attract people to him. He kept trying to scare them off, but people seemed to like him.
