Mystery from Another World--MHA

Part 6: ⏰ Pranking Class 1-A 😜

The next day it was back to full on training with a trip to the USJ to practice handling disasters, more successfully this time. Shine and Wally got to hear all about the incident of a year prior from multiple sources.

Shine was not too impressed with the account of Shigaraki, despite the students describing him as scary, and she surprisingly guessed the Nomu was not his creation right off. 

Though it was Kirishima she told this to, he wasn't 100% sure who was responsible. Probably All for One, but it wasn't as if anyone could prove he was working alone, and Kirishima thought mentioning All for One was unwise, not knowing that Likstar had been filled in already. He changed the subject.

"So, how'd you and West meet? I mean, you said you're from different places, right?"

A part of their story that was almost more unbelievable than the rest of it-- it seemed so out there. Likstar nodded in confirmation.

"Yeah, I'm from the Silent Planet. He's from what I call the DC universe, for lack of a better term. They are connected, but neither knows the other exists." 

He waited... 

"And...?" he finally said. 

Likstar shoved her hair back. "We met because my enemy tried to destroy my ability to DJ-- or World Walk, if you prefer. It's a long story, but I lost memories of all my trips, and my connection to the worlds almost snapped completely. Memory is crucial to this line of work. Without it, I'm clueless about it all.... Plus," she leaned on her sword--which was weird to see, "what I learn, what I get from each place, becomes a part of me. Without it, I'd be a lesser person. I think that was the other goal, but it was stopped."

"Whoa, heavy." Kirishima was impressed.

"Yeah, anyway, he got sucked into it... To tell you the truth, at the time I wondered why he was one of the people involved. I had formed the least connection with him. Now it's clear."

Kirishima gave her a questioning look, so she continued.

"It's about what would be. Because of the whole adventure, we became friends. You can guess the rest. So, in the end, the enemy self foiled. Ironic, no?"

"Yeah, lucky too."

"Not lucky, ever," she said that very decidedly, like it was a real point to be made.

[This story is in Worldcrossed, though the reason Shine doesn't like the word lucky might be more related to the RWBY Through Worlds story right after it.]

Though the training was challenging, the students all felt it wasn't really aimed at them. The school wanted to see what these DJs were made of, but they also wanted to see how the students would interact with them. 

The girls seemed to like Shine so far, but she knew that they were still viewing her with caution. She didn't think of them were suspicious of her. She thought that Momo, Mina, and Tohru thought she was harmless, but ignorant of hero culture; while Tsuyu, Ochako, and possibly Jiro viewed her ignorance as perhaps more than that, maybe even dangerous. Though out of those three, she thought only Tsuyu was sure of it.

Wally was accepted into the group of guys more easily. Kirishima and Kaminari especially clicked with him, but he wasn't really a leader. Bakugo still stoinly refused to interact with him or Shine unless it was to challenge them (but he hadn't done this since the first two days). Todoroki treated him with caution, but he was more intrigued. Iida view them as irresponsible but he thought they simply needed to be taught. The other guys fell mostly in between, not really that invested in either correcting, or investigating, why the newcomers thought the way they did.
