Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 25 - Where the lost are the heroes

Shinsou nearly dropped the card; his hand was just shaking so much.

Who sent the damned thing? Kirishima was way too nice to do something like this, and it was nowhere near his handwriting anyways. Who would tell Midoriya to go kill himself? Why would anyone do something like that?

"Shinsou, are you okay?" Yaoyorozu asked, and Shinsou shakily nodded. Bakugou glanced at the newspaper article on the ground.

"What the fuck?!"

He turned towards Shinsou, and snatched the card out of his grasp.

"Bakugou, stop looking at other people's letters! It's very disrespectful!" Iida yelled, but Bakugou just snapped, "Shut up, Four-eyes. Whichever fucking asshole sent this doesn't deserve any fucking respect!"

Uraraka had picked Ryuto off the ground as Aizawa slowly made his way to Bakugou's desk.

"Bakugou, stop swearing. Give me that."

Bakugou angrily handed the card to Aizawa, while Shinsou picked the newspaper article up and passed it to the teacher.

Koda was holding onto Reiko, and while she had stopped struggling, she was hissing at the remaining letters on Kirishima's desk.

Aizawa quickly skimmed through both items, before he turned to Kirishima, "Which one is yours? And who gave you those letters?"

"This one," Kirishima picked out an envelope with his name written on it, in his usual handwriting, "I told you, some other kids and a few neighbours."

"How well do you know them?" Aizawa asked.

"My neighbours? Pretty well. But the other kids, I just happened to meet them on the way to school. They saw my uniform and asked me to pass them along."

"Yaoyorozu, pass me the remainder of the letters in another stack. They're going through Nezu before they go anywhere near Midoriya." Aizawa ordered, before he pocketed the card and the newspaper article. He gestured towards the shreds of the envelope that Reiko had torn up, and Shinsou picked them up and handed them to him.

"Wait, what happened?" Kirishima asked, completely confused, "What was on the card? It can't be that bad, right?"

"Not bad, my ass! That fucker told Midoriya to go kill himself!"

Bakugou was surprisingly mad over the entire matter. Shinsou was still trying to process what he had read.

The entire class was stunned into silence, before a chorus of "What!?", "Who would do something like that?!" and "Eh!?" rang out.

"Quiet down. All of you go back to your seats." Aizawa ordered, his quirk flaring, making everyone shut up almost immediately. "Bakugou, this is sensitive information. Don't go yelling it around. I don't want to hear a peep about this from any of your outside this classroom. I don't want anyone else hearing about this. I will bring this matter to the teachers and Nezu, and we'll deal with it."

"I.... Sensei... I'm sorry..." Kirishima looked downwards, "I.. I didn't know... they would give me something like that to pass to Midoriya... It's so unmanly..."

"This isn't your fault, Kirishima. It's the fault of whoever gave it to you." Aizawa sighed, "I'll tell you guys how we'll deal with it later. Reiko, can you calm down first?"

Reiko let out an irritated sounding meow, but she did stop hissing and just lay there in Koda's arms, glaring at Kirishima. Koda carefully put Reiko down, before she made her way to Uraraka's desk. She pawed at Uraraka's leg, and Uraraka gently placed Ryuto on the ground next to her.
