My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 9: Trickery

After talking with Yurin, I said my goodbyes and left to meet up with the others. He seemed to have been doing better since we talked with each other a bit... I wish I didn't have such conflicting feelings, I'm with Suraki but still have some feelings for Yurin. It doesn't help that he's starting to be his old self again from back when we were dating... He's calming down a bit, not too much around others, but when it's just me and him he's really changing. I still can't quite place my finger on what that memory or dream was... It was just a memory right? Why were our bodies moving so involuntarily to do that... I shouldn't be dwelling on it, let's just have a good time tonight. And so I did, I met up with Suraki, Zota, and Joji at a movie theatre. Luckily when I got there the movie hadn't started yet so I hadn't missed anything, we got our snacks (overpriced of course.) And made our way into the theatre, We had agreed on seeing a comedy movie since there wasn't anything else that seemed interesting. After that we came back to the dorms, and went to bed. I slept with Suraki that night, mostly because I felt guilty about the situation with Yurin even though he doesn't know about that.

When I woke up the next morning, Suraki wasn't in bed. I frowned slightly and sat up, rubbing my eyes and checking the time to see it was 10:30am. Thank god it was Sunday, I stood up and left Suraki's room and turned to head to mine. After a few minutes I got a text on my phone, I opened it to see it was from Suraki. He was asking about going on a date later tonight and I sent back a thumbs up and smiley face, then I got another text from Detective Roiyaru wondering where I was. I completely forgot we were supposed to talk, I quickly replied and rushed to my room. Changing out of what I wore to bed and throwing on some black shorts and one of the shirts Suraki had grabbed for me when we went to the mall. It was a nice dark blue long sleeve.

I left the dorms at roughly 10:35 and went to the ice cream shop Detective Roiyaru wanted to meet at, he was outside smoking a cigarette. When he noticed I was walking up he quickly snuffed out the cigarette and held the door open for me.

"Sorry for calling you here so suddenly kid, I just had a few questions about the place you were held at while kidnapped." I nodded slightly, stepping into the ice cream shop to be met by a few staring faces. Whether they were staring at my scar or recognising me from the news I had no idea, I went over to one of the booths and sat down while Detective Roiyaru went up and ordered himself what seemed to be a vanilla shake with reeses cups broken up inside. He came and sat down across from me, taking a quick sip of the shake. "Well first off, how have you been? Any crap go down?"

"Not yet, thankfully. I think the league is taking a seat back after my escape"

"Hopefully, though I'm not sure. Don't know if you have been watching the news lately but a couple villains have been acting out a lot, We don't have name's really. One is... well, the fire guy that... You know." I sighed softly, knowing who he was talking about and remembering when I first heard my dad was killed.

"Who else?" I spurred him on to keep talking so I didn't dwell on the memory.

"Well, some other guy that likes slicing people up. Weird thing is that all his victims die of heart attacks, not the slices."

"That's actually is pretty weird... Any idea why?"

"Unfortunately no, best bet we have is maybe fear, But it doesn't make sense since most of the victims are perfectly healthy."

"Whose the last one?"

"Some guy in a Kitsune mask, we don't have much on him apart from his look and what he does."

"Gotta love when new ones show up..." I turn my head to look out the window, letting out a soft sigh as I stared blankly.

"Anyways... Onto the questions I needed to ask, do you remember the forest you came from that night?" I shook my head, looking back at the detective.
