Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 81 - Take the past away

Shinsou yawned, and trudged to the common room. With Yamada's permission, the class had asked Nezu about those articles and forum posts circulating around Midoriya, and he was really bothered by what Nezu had said.

Midoriya had, in fact, lost his parents in a fire while he was seven, before being sent to the foster system. He did fall off the roof of his elementary school, but that has been largely deemed an accident, and even Nezu himself wasn't too sure about the true nature of that incident.

Nezu did seem pissed when he realised that private information, like hospital reports and x-rays, had been posted on the internet, and seemed to be trying to do his best to remove such information from the websites. He was grumbling about people being insensitive as he sent the students back to their homeroom lesson, where they found Yamada seething under his breath as he scrolled through the site that Ashido had shown him.

Iida didn't even stop Yamada as he cursed in English under his breath.

They eventually decided that instead of thinking about it, they should just do something to take their minds off it, and Shinsou wanted to finish his homework first, and maybe, consider asking Kamihara about internships.

He grabbed his bag, and was about to fish out his homework when he noticed that the television was on, and that Kaminari, Sero, and Ashido were intently staring at the screen.

"What's going on?" Shinsou asked, walking closer to take a closer look, before noticing that there was a giant hole in the ground, with smoke coming out of it.

"We saw Uraraka, Tsu and that... uh... her name was Nejire, right?" Kaminari asked, "And a dragon. They all fell into the hole."

"Wait... so that's what they're doing for work studies?!" Shinsou yelped, as he sat down on the couch to take a closer look.

"Hitoshi, I thought we were going to do homework..." Iida walked down the stairs, before noticing the commotion, "What's going on?"

"Uraraka and Tsu's work study." Ashido replied, still staring intently at the screen, "I think this is a news helicopter."

"It seems like they tackled one of the villains into the ground... and is that an underground cavern? Right beneath the streets? Get in for a closer look!"

"But where's Midoriya and Kirishima?" Yaoyorozu asked, worried, as Bakugou walked out of the kitchen, "Who cares!? Maybe those two fuckers aren't even there! Pinky, Pikachu, it's your fucking shift for cleaning up!"

"Okay, okay." Kaminari and Ashido reluctantly got up from his seat to clean up the kitchen, as Todoroki and Koda sat down, their eyes glued on the screen.

"I hope they'll be okay..." Yaoyorozu muttered, "They're with pros... right? They'll be fine..."

"This should at least stop the bleeding... It's frustrating, but he'll need to rest for a while." Toyomitsu mused, laying Kirishima gently on the bed. Tengai had been tied up and was sitting in a corner, but Toyomitsu chose to let Rappa be since he wasn't being bery hostile at the moment. He had just finished wrapping the redhead's injuries, and Rappa eagerly asked, "Is he better? Can I kill him?"

"How can he be better already?!" Toyomitsu countered, "Let him live!"

The pro hero turned around to face Rappa, and scratched his head, "Since we're kind of talking frankly with each other now, this might be weird for a hero to ask, but why are you stuck in a small time gang like this?"

"That's because Overjerk was the only person I ever lost to." Rappa admitted, and Toyomitsu gawked, "You lost...?"

Rappa continued, "He told me to join, coming out of nowhere, picking a fight. Of course, I left it up to who won. And then... I died, but just when I thought that, I was back to normal. Even after I joined, I challenged him five times, but I lost every time. I stayed in order to beat that man."
