Heiress (BnHA)

Chapter 34

The next day, Emiri met her classmates at the designated meeting spot in the mall.

"Oh man, do I love this place! It has a ton of different stores to shop at, and they're all super cool and hip!" Mina exclaimed.

Midoriya had immediately started to mutter and ramble on about what the mall had, only stopping when Tokoyami said that he might scare the children.

"Wong, aren't those U.A students?!" Someone called out, causing people around them to turn and look at the group.

"1-A! I saw them on TV!" Another person exclaimed.

"The Sports Festival was so good!" Three of them shouted.

"I can't believe they still remember that." Uraraka said.

"Of course they do. I mean, it's a big event you know." Emiri said.

"I wanna find a new duffle bag to bring to training." Jiro said.

"Oh yeah, maybe the two of us should browse together." Momo offered.

"Guess I should probably buy some outdoorsy shoes for this thing." Kaminari said.

"Oh that's smart, me too!" Hagakure exclaimed.

"The guide said your shoes should already be broken in, though!" Iida said. "But wait, perhaps it's a mistake not to factor in utility into the equation."

"So why don't we split up and look around? We can meet here again when we're done!" Kirishima suggested.

"Great idea!" Mina exclaimed.

"Perfect, let's say we're all back around three?"

"Sounds good!" The class exclaimed, and everyone broke off to find stuff they needed.

Emiri was walking past a few stores when she glanced down to the center of the mall, where she saw that Midoriya was sitting at the edge of a fountain, someone in a black hoodie sitting next to him.

"Could that be... no, I don't think so..." She muttered to herself, shaking her head to clear the thought. She continued to walk past the buildings, finally finding what she was looking for.

She needed to find another notebook. She had filled up her most recent one with analysis notes and needed a new one— there was no doubt she would need it during camp. Not only would she be able to take more notes as her classmates improve their quirks, but she would also be able to take notes on students from class B who would be joining them during the camp.

After she picked out and bought a notebook, she walked out of the shop and headed down the stairs. What she needed next was on the first floor, closer to the entrance. As she walked, she noticed the man who had been talking to Deku heading out, and now that she could clearly see his face she recognized him immediately.

Shigaraki. She thought, stopping in her tracks and watching as he walked past her. The two of them making eye contact for a split second just before he looked away and headed out of the mall. I guess it really was him talking to Midoriya... I wonder, what could they of talked about?

"The mall will be temporarily closing due to a suspicious person report. For your safety, please calmly and quietly exit the mall." A voice suddenly said over the mall's speakers.

"Koyama!" A voice called, and Emiri looked up to see Uraraka and Midoriya not to far away from her.

"Uraraka, Midoriya." Emiri said, walking up to the two. "Is this because of Shigaraki?"

"Shi- how did you know?" Midoriya asked, "He didn't threaten you too, did he?!" He asked.

Emiri raised her hands, "Oh, no. Nothing like that. I just saw him as I was walking through the mall. I was a little surprised to see him here, but it seemed like he didn't pay any notice to me!"

Midoriya let out a sigh, "That's a relief. I hope the others are okay too."

Soon everyone from class 1-A had gathered and the police had come. Midoriya, Uraraka, and Emiri were questioned, though neither Uraraka or Emiri enough information to be brought to the station, and all they told the police was written down for further reference. They all watched as Midoriya was escorted to a police car to head to a station so he could tell the police more of what he saw and what exactly had happened. Everyone else was free to head home.

As she walked home with Momo she let out a small sigh.

"You alright, Koyama?"

Emiri looked up at Momo, giving the girl a smile, "Yeah. I'm fine. I've just got a lot on my mind. With camp coming up and everything... I just hope everything goes smoothly."

"Why wouldn't it?" Momo asked.

"I don't know. You might call me paranoid but I have a feeling that camp isn't going to turn out the way everyone hopes it will."

Momo smiled and placed a hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. "I'm sure you're worrying over nothing. The camp this year's somewhere secret. There's no way anyone other than us will be there."

"I guess you're right." Emiri said. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "Everything will work out perfectly."

"Hmm, you seem oddly happy, today, master. Is it because the League of Villains roster continues to grow steadily?"

The masked man laughed, "That's not why, doctor. It's because Shigaraki Tomura has finally found his conviction. The League of Villains needs people who can get behind his principals. I'll leave all of the decisions to him for now. If he asks fo help, then of course I'll step in and guide him, that's not a problem as I see it. In fact I've been waiting for the say he seeks my aid. I'm preparing for him to become the next me, my successor."

"Yes, of course. This summer will sure be an eventful one." The Doctor said.

"That it will, doctor, that it will..."
