Behind a smile

Part 21~Training for the future

I couldn't stop my fidgeting, I had a bad feeling about this. Ever since he had got out, the heroes had forced Yuu and I to stay at U.A, they weren't going to risk anything, it was too much of a coincidence that he was free now.

Aizawa didn't want to leave Yuu at U.A, since most teachers were on duty and didn't have time to babysit her. Therefore, she was with us on our way to the training camp. It was her choice if she joined us in training or not but either way it was better than sitting alone in Nezu's office.

The class was too loud for my liking but I quickly found myself lost in my hero notes, missing Aizawa's attempt at a speech.

After a while, we pulled over at a cliff side. Yuu was more than glad to stretch out her limbs but I wasn't so bothered. A few people commented at the weird place to stop but Koi quickly grabbed my attention.

*Izu, tell Yuu to get back on the bus,* Koi commanded suddenly.

*What? Why would she do that?* Mei seemed to share my confusion.

"Because, she is not going to get caught up in this stupid plans,* Koi explained simply. *Now tell her to get back into the bus.*

"Yuu, Koi... Koi wants you... you to get back on... back on the bus," I muttered as she gave me a weird look.

"Why?"

"Because, he is about to chuck us of a cliff and you are not getting dragged into this." Koi took over control and lazily pushed Yuu onto the bus.

Aizwa seemed to panic as he got on the bus to stop us from getting in. Pixie Bob quickly used her quirk to throw the class over the edge of the cliff. Koi quickly calculated the jump we would need to avoid the attack and landed by the cliff side.

Aizawa gave us a disapproving glare as I sighed and told Koi to go down. Jack took control before doing a backflip, digging his scythe into the wall to slow down our descent. Once we got to the bottom, he let go off the scythe and gave me back control.

Mandalay told us we needed to get to the other side so that we could eat lunch. Koi didn't seem too convinced that we would make it in time for lunch and was muttering conclusions to himself.

*What happens now?* Chi asked, curious about the events.

*We walk forward!* Mei encouraged as my shoulders sagged.

*Do.. do I have... have to?* I asked, looking into the forest with a slight amount of fear.

*We fucking live in a forest! What are you afraid of?!* Jack growled with a roll of his eyes.

*He does have a point,* Zama said simply. *He could have put it in a nicer manor but nevertheless, we do inhabit a cave in a forest.*

"Fine. I suppose you have a point," I muttered to myself in defeat.

"You know, it's really creepy when you do that," Kirishima said with a slight shiver.

"It must be interesting inside your head. What would it be like if I had different versions of me in my head," Kaminari pondered while rubbing his chin.

"It probably would be brain numbing with two brain cells between them," Jiro laughed, a very small smirk coming to Momo's face.

"Come on, the faster we get in there, the faster we get back." Chi took control and led the way only to stop at the edge.

"Something is wrong," Koi muttered, scanning the forest with his watch. "Oh, that is not good."

"What is it?" Kaminari came up behind us as Jack pulled out his scythe.
