My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 2: Reconciliation

It's been a few weeks since I was jumped by Hagita and his little gang, I still had some bruises but I was feeling much better by now, I ended up falling behind though thanks to them. And while I was gone the new kid had arrived at the school, we bumped into each other in the hall the other day. His name was Joji, he seemed like a nice enough person. He ended up getting the seat beside me while Zota was moved to the seat behind me, most likely Bakugou-Sensei did that to try and get Zota and I to stop talking in class. Due to my absence though we had to stall the U.S.J visits until about two weeks ago, but by today. The U.S.J training was over, I must admit though that I missed it. It was exciting to use my quirk in such drastically varying environments and it really helped me grow in my abilities with my quirk.

I woke up to hear a bit of yelling in the hallway, I turned my head to check the time. It was roughly an hour and a half before I would normally wake up for classes. I sighed faintly, sitting up and getting out of bed. I went to my closet and threw on a random black t-shirt to go with my shorts, then I went to my door and slowly opened it to peek out into the hallway.

In the hallway was the new kid Joji and Yurin. Of course Yurin was involved with the yelling, I stepped out of my room and started to walk down the hallway towards them.

"Come on! Just pay up and I won't say a word about your little out of school activities."

"I'm not paying you crap, Yurin! Your stupid fire breath doesn't scare me!"

"Oh really? Well, I guess I could always just tell the whole 1-A class aaalll about your little-" Suddenly, everything around me froze, including myself. All I could really do was look around and watch what was unfolding, I already knew what was happening. It was Joji's quirk. I watched ahead as Joji started to punch Yurin in specific spots, he started off by punching him twice in the gut, going around and elbowing him in the back of the head next, then he went around to his left side and punched him across the face. This was in the span of roughly ten seconds, the time Joji could take to freeze time like this. Once his quirk deactivated, I saw Yurin almost immediately drop to the floor, he was knocked out cold. My eyes went a little wide, rushing over and kneeling down at Yurin's side.

"C-Christ! The hell do you think your doing, Joji!" I looked up at Joji in surprise, Joji looked down at me with a confused look in his eyes before making a small realization.

"W-Wait, he's your friend? C-crap, I had no idea. I'm so sorry!"

"No, your not. You did it for a reason so why would you be?" I may not like Yurin all that much, but I still didn't like seeing him getting knocked out cold like that, I stood up. Grabbing Yurin's arm and lifting him up, then leaning him on me to start carrying him to his room.

"I-I'm sorry..." Joji looked away slightly, having a frown on his face.

"Look... just get outta here before Yurin wakes up, I don't want him to try and beat you up. I'll calm him down, you go." Joji responded only with a nod before heading down the hall and downstairs to the common room "Yurin... You're a real idiot..." 

I sighed, walking Yurin to his room with his arm over my shoulders for support. I stopped at his door and carefully opened it without dropping him, walking inside and laying him down on his bed. I thought in my head for a few seconds about Yurin's quirk. "I wonder if he ever considered a dragon looking design for his costume..." I shrugged, sitting down in the chair at his desk boredly as I waited for him to wake up. I looked around the top of his desk pretty boredly, he had a few figurines of a couple different heroes on display, and his laptop in the center of the desk, his laptop had a couple fire stickers on it. I looked over to Yurin's bed, making sure he wasn't awake already before I turned back and opened up his laptop curiously. Wondering what his background was.
