Angles Curse

Chapter 14

It's been a few days since the whole USJ incident. The public freaked out upon hearing about it while every news station was covering the story. No matter where you went or looked, someone was talking about how the most prestigious hero school allowed a bunch of villains to break in and attack a class of first years. Everyone was becoming wary of UA, thinking the school has lost its touch. Many of the general education and financial students got pulled out within the first two days of the news getting out.

The day after the attack, the school was held as normal for everyone but the hero class in question. Before classes even began, an assembly was held bright and early. Once everyone had gathered in the auditorium, principle Nezu had walked onto the stage, a fallen look on his face. He had climbed his stool and stool on it in front of the whole student body.

"Students, I'm sure you saw the news or heard the rumors about yesterday. And I am here to clarify everything for you all. I'm sure most of you have heard the rumor that a group of villains had attacked one of our hero classes yesterday while they were training. Well, that rumor is true. Yesterday, class 1-A went to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ, for some hero training. Upon arrival, all communication with the group was cut, raising some concerns. Shortly after communication was cut, a warp gate opened in the facility, and villains flooded out of the gate." Nezu started, an angry but sad look present on his face. He was probably blaming himself for not seeing this happening sooner.

Many of the students around me and around the room were getting uneasy, shifting in their seats and whispering among their friends. Many had frightened looks on their faces and looked concerned for their own safety.

"Now, now students. Please don't panic. I assure you, you are more than safe here on school grounds. Luckily, thanks to someone's quick thinking, the staff was able to head over to the USJ and save our students before anyone got majorly hurt. Thankfully, the students of class 1-A only suffered minor cuts and bruises. The only ones to sustain major injuries being class 1-A's homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa, and space hero Thirteen. Both are going to be ok and make a full recovery." Nezu said, trying to reassure all the students.

Though, the speech didn't help much. Many still ended up withdrawing from the school out of fear for their safety. Others withdrawal because they didn't trust UA anymore. Of course, some teachers were sad to see them go, others were happy to get rid of potential risks like them. But the ones who remained were still wary, cautious of their surrounding,s and less faith in the teachers. Of course, there were still some students who hadn't grown cautious or wary, in fact, they seemed more motivated than ever. They proudly showed up to school and continued as if nothing happened. Students like them are the reason the school can still proudly function and continue as normal, well with a few added security measures.

Other things changed too, like at home. After Endeavor heard what happened, he took it upon himself to ensure nothing like that would happen again. How you may ask? Simple, by increasing Shoto's training regimen. He has Shoto working himself twice a day, once before school, and once after school. Endeavor thinks he's helping, but in reality, he's only going to make it harder for Shoto to help. He'll be too tired and exhausted to help. he'll be an easy target.

The day of the event, when I had returned home after walking Kacchan back home, Shoto had already begun his extra training. As soon as I walked through the door, I heard fighting coming from the training room. Natsuo was sitting on the steps hugging his knees, tears flowing down his face. When I entered, he looked up at me before looking towards the training room. Getting the message, I had taken a seat next to him.

"Is Sho the one in there with Enji?" I asked, even though I had already known the answer. Natsuo had nodded, confirming my suspicions.

"As soon as he walked through the door, he was dragged in there. He's been in there for almost four hours now. I'm worried." Natsuo whispered, hugging his legs tighter. I knew he was thinking about Touya, I mean, he watched one brother fall down this path, now he's watching another.
