Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 124 - And when all the fires burn

"Hey!" Ashido waved, carrying her bag as she skipped into the dorms, with Aoyama and Hagakure trailing behind her.

"Mon amine! We are back, and we're sparkling!" Aoyama spoke up, "How were your internships?"

"Mine was awesome! I can now use Red Riot Unbreakable for about forty seconds consistently! We're trying to extend the timing right now!" Kirishima cheered, having entered the dorms just a few minutes prior, "You three went with Yoroi Musha, right? How was it?"

"It was awesome! We're working on a few Super Moves right now!" Hagakure replied.

Jiro and Shoji had come back a few hours ago, and were watching some television on the news. Todoroki and Bakugou had most likely gone back to their rooms to sleep, since the explosive blonde refused to eat any take-outs and insisted on cooking dinner, given that Enji had taken several emergency night shifts and messed up their sleep schedules.

"That's pretty cool." Shoji commented, "Jiro and I are working on reconnaissance."

"I honestly thought Gang Orca would be scary, since he was the former Number Ten Pro Hero, and he was acting as the villain during our provisional license exam, but he's actually really nice!" Jiro admitted.

Koda was taking care of Yuwai in his room, a bit tired from his work study, having met up with Tokoyami, Ojiro, and Sato on the way back to the dorms.

"Ah! Hi!" Yaoyorozu smiled, carefully slipping her shoes off and placing them in the shoe rack, eliciting some arm chopping from Iida, "Kirishima! Ashido! Aoyama! Hagakure! Place your shoes on the shoe rack neatly! People will trip over them by accident!"

"It's so good to be back!" Uraraka cheered, pushing open the doors, with Asui behind her, "Hey guys!"

"Hey." Shinsou waved, as Iida made a few more notes on his phone, "Now, all we're missing are Kaminari, Mineta, and Sero."

"Oh, they're going to be late." Ashido replied, hastily chucking her shoes into the shoe rack, "I got a message from Kaminari. Apparently, they're dealing with some villains right now, so it's going to take them a bit more time until they get back."

"Alright." Iida nodded, making a note of that, "Then that's everyone! Excellent!"

"Aww, are we taking attendance? That's really manly, Iida!" Kirishima grinned, "Tomorrow is Christmas, right? I hope everyone's gotten their stuff for their Secret Santa giftee! Because it's really not manly if you didn't!"

"Hey, Tsu, Ocha, how was your work studies?" Ashido asked, and Uraraka grinned, "I was patrolling with Ryukyu, and then somehow both Izuku and I ended up with Rock Lock for like one day!"

"I also ended up working with Midoriya." Asui commented, "We were working with Selkie!"

"Midoriya's been all over, haven't you?" Yaoyorozu added, walking into the common room as she stretched, "Tokage went to work for Best Jeanist for two days, and when she came back, she also mentioned she worked with you."

Midoriya just shrugged, not knowing how else to react, as Todoroki sleepily ambled into the common room, before he spotted Midoriya.

"Izuku." Todoroki locked eyes with the green haired boy, using an almost begging tone, "I heard about the thing you gave to my dad. Give it to me, please."

"What?" Ashido asked, confused, as Midoriya gave Todoroki the sign to wait, before going back to his room.

"What's that about?" Shinsou asked, as Iida shrugged, "I don't know."

The common room fell silent, the only sound being the news playing on the television, before Midoriya came back to the common room. He stuck his hand into his pocket, digging around for a few seconds, before procuring a thumb drive.
