The rest of the day went by quickly for me. I was excited to speak with Genos and Saitama about doing internships for UA this year, and possibly more than just with UA as well! Once class ended and we were excused, the outside the doors were curious onlookers from the many other classes in UA. 

"W-What's going on?!" Uraraka shouts staring at the sea of students. "What business do you have with Class A?" Iida asks, gesturing to them with his hand. "We can't get out. What'd you come here for anyway?" Shouts Mineta, raising up a tiny fist. As if he could look menacing.

"Scouting out the enemy, small fry." Bakugou walks in front of Mineta, Midoriya, Iida, and Uraraka. He stares bored at the crowd, I awkwardly laugh seeing them get really nervous because of the blonde. "We're the ones who made it our of the villains' attack." He continues, stopping right in their faces. "Get outta my way, extras." He growls.

"Stop calling people 'extras' just because you don't know them!" Scolds Iida. I walk closer to them and place a reassuring hand on the shivering Midoriyas' shoulder. "It's okay Midoriya..." I sweatdrop. He calms down for a second after looking back at me, but he looks back at the door when we hear another voice begin to speak.

"I came to see what the famous Class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all students in the hero course like this?"

'I recognize that guy... I bumped into him when those reporters were crowing the entrance to the school...'

The four others all shake their heads frantically at the assumption. "Seeing something like this makes me disillusioned. There are quite a few who enrolled in general studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. Did you know that?" He asks, lazily bringing an arm up to behind his head. His presence only seemed to make Bakugou angry, seeing as the blonde was glaring daggers at the taller male.

"The school has left those of us a chance. Depending on the results of the sports festival, they'll consider our transfer into the hero course. And it seems they also transfer people out."

I lower my gaze. Yes, it's true that many aspiring heroes don't make it into the hero course because of the tough competition. The way that UA tests people is unfair to those whos quirk isn't something that does damage or gives them an advantage in combat. I assume that he is one of those people who were unable to defeat the robots in the entrance exam for the hero course. I truly feel sorry for them, but what he says is true about the sports festival. They could win and be transferred into the hero course but it also takes away another persons' chance.

"I, at least, came to say that even if you are in the hero course, if you get too carried away, I'll sweep your geet out from under you. I came with a declaration of war."

I can feel everyone's shock from around the room. The atmosphere becomes very tense-

"Hey, hey!! I'm from Class B next door! I hear you fought against villains, so I came to hear 'bout it! Don't get so full of yourselves!"

A silver-haired guy pops up from beyond the crowd and shouts annoyingly into the classroom. "If you bark too much, it'll be embarrassing for you durin' a real fight!" His words are aimed mostly at Bakugou, but the latter simply ignores him and pushes his way through the students. Kirishima runs up to us and calls out his friend. "Wait a minute, Bakugou! What're you gonna do about all this? It's your fault that everyone's hating on us!" He questions.

I look curiously at Bakugou, wanting to know what he thinks about dragging the rest of us into this situation. He stops and gives him a look,

"It doesn't matter."

"Huh?!"

Bakugou looks back to the purple-haired guy and continues, "It doesn't matter as long as you rise to the top." Then he finally makes his leave. His words leave the rest of us silent, well... Except for the guy from Class B, who's yelling at Bakugou's leaving figure.
