Arcane

-6- Momo

It was Friday and Katsuki noticed a few things were off today. For one, a lot of people were more aggressive today but also a lot were more jumpy. The blonde also noticed more people were giving him an evil grin. Katsuki also skipped breakfast this morning cause he overslept on accident.

He huffed and tried to listen as much as possible but spaced out most of the time. Lunch rolled around and Katsuki got his tray like everyone else and he could physically feel the buzz around the cafeteria. He sat down at the table where he saw everyone else talking.

"Bro I bet that Jiro is gonna go after me today, I swear to god she had murder in her eyes when I spilled that milk on her on Tuesday," Kaminari said loudly as he bit into his pizza. Kirishima just chuckled as rubbed his back.

"What happens today?" Katsuki asks. The table swapped glances at each other before they nodded.

"Okay, so we're not usually supposed to tell the newcomers this, but on the weekends and at 12:30 it's basically like the purge, you can do whatever you want for, you can hurt, steal, rape, though not a lot of people rape, it's like considered the lowest of the low." Shitty Hair explained. Katsuki was surprised, he didn't know they could do that.

"Okay, 2 questions, How and are we able to use our quirks?" Katsuki asked, intrigued about what he had learned.

"Uhm, no one actually knows it just started happening a little bit after 3 years, around when they brought in Hitoshi actually." Mina pipes in, snacking on her apple. Everyone nodded.

"And, no, quirks still don't work," Izuku answers the next question. Katsuki nodded.  He then realized that he was in some deep shit. It was his first week and he already pissed off a lot of people. Guys, gals, and non-binary pals. The bunch.

Yep.

Izuku must've noticed his discomfort so he reached over the table and patted his cheek.

"You'll be fine Kacchan, Just stick with us and you'll be fine." He smiled sweetly at the blonde and Izuku sat back down. Everyone continued to eat and talk. Katsuki could feel eyes on him as the clock hit 12:00 and the bell rang for classes to continue. Katsuki walked with Izuku but lost Toshi in the hallways, not thinking much of it he continued walking to class. He didn't even see Momo as she slipped a toothbrush with a sharpened end in her boot thinking of all the possible things she could do to the blonde that humiliated her in front of her crush during training.

Katsuki huffed as he entered. He realized that all the window seats were empty so he asked Izuku about it.

"Yeah... A lot of people get thrown out of windows, specifically this class so I wouldn't sit there on Fridays. Katsuki nodded and sat in the back in a middle seat, Izuku on his left and against the wall. The bell soon rang and the late students had to reluctantly sit at the seats by the windows, extremely nervous and ready to jump out of the way whenever.

Katsuki didn't see Hitoshi until 12:20 and he looked really pale and more exhausted than usual. He was also wearing a black hoodie that was one size big on him. The insomniac also sat at a window seat but he didn't look as worried as the others, Neither Did Izuku, Shoto or Dabi. 

The red-eyed blonde noticed that the teacher also hasn't arrived yet and he guessed teachers never knew about the weekends. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At exactly 12:30 the lights flicked off and on, but this time they were tinted a light shade of purple. and students jumped up, howling with laughter and shouting expletives along with names of those they were going to beat up.

Izuku grabbed Toshi and Katsuki's hands and led them quickly out of the room. In the halls, people were already fighting and destroying the hallways. It was so loud that Katsuki had the urge to cover his ears but didn't.

"We're gonna go down a level to Eiji and Denki so we can stick together!" Izuku managed to shout above the noise. Izuku's grip on both the boys was tight but Katsuki still managed to lose his hand and so he pushed through the hallways alone, dodging a loose punch or kick that came his way. The crowded halls started to piss him off.

He felt someone tap his back and he turned around to see a shiv ready to stab him in the eye. He dodged it quickly, his reflexes kicking in as he grabbed the wrist of his attacker and pulled Momo forward.

"Oh, it's you, the bitch who I messed up," Katsuki smirked as he saw her expression twist into disturbing face of rage. She lunged forward and scratched Katsuki on the cheek with her sharp long nails that she had painted red.

"Shut the fuck up you dumb blonde!" She hissed as she pried Katsukis hand off of her wrist and slashed his hand. Katsuki hissed and decided to stop playing with the girl so he grabbed her by her ugly ponytail and smashed her face into the wall, hearing a sickening crack. She went limp and fell to the floor, out cold.

Katsuki spits on her for extra measure and walked to the stairwell only to get into another fight with someone he fought in the past few days. Katsuki was even more frustrated, and when he was frustrated and angry he would become more violent. After he kicked down his new attacker he jumped on them, hearing ribs break. He kicked them in the head once or twice before they were also passed out. Katsuki had a terrifying sneer on his face, his eyes held no other emotions besides rage as he stomped through the halls, finding the stairwell and walking down the stairs only to be stopped by a group of people, around 4 or 5, one holding a wooden baseball bat.  The one who looked like the leader of the group had a nasty purple bruise on his left eye along with a busted bottom lip.  

"You remember me? You beat me up in the hall when I tripped you, my friends didn't really like that, you se-" Katsuki didn't have time to hear his villain speech as he socked him in the mouth. The others started bashing on Katsuki but he could barely feel it as he brutally knocked them down, first snapping the wrist of the one who was holding the baseball bat and took it once she dropped it.

He proceeded to beat them down with the bat. But soon it broke and he ruffled his hair, he walked past the fallen deviants, not noticing as one stood up and grabbed a sharp wooden piece of the bat. 

Just as Katsuki opened the door to the next level the beaten up male limped quickly, wielding the shard as a knife. Just as Katsuki turned around he saw as someone threw the passed out body of one of the gang members, knocking down the weapon-wielding maniac.

Shoto stepped through the bodies, admiring Katsuki's work. Shoto looked untouched by anyone, the complete opposite of panting Katsuki Bakugo, who was covered in his and others blood, bruises and scratch marks(courtesy of Momo)

Shoto looked up and stared into Katsuki's blood-red eyes. Katsuki was still irritated about people coming after him but the taller males mismatched eyes made him slightly calmer.

"What, you wanna try and kill me too Icyhot?" Katsuki glared at Shoto, who seemed amused by the nickname.

"Icyhot? Creative." The corner of Shoto's mouth lifted slightly from his usual cold stare. Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"No, I just came down here cause its a lot more quiet on the lower levels, especially level one." Shoto shrugged. Katsuki nodded and felt the adrenaline wear down and he started to feel the aching of the bruises and the stinging of the scratch marks. Katsuki took in a deep breath once he started to feel light-headed.

"Shit.." The floor came closer to Katsuki's face to greet him.
