Chapter 6: Unfortunate Simulation Joint

Izuku stomped out his cigarette as him and his class stood outside in their hero outfits. They were going to be headed for the USJ, or Unforeseen Simulation Joint and Izuku was getting a bit of a bad feeling from this trip.

Izuku would've been in his hero costume as well, but his costume was still being repaired after the battle training. Bakugou be damned, he really wished he didn't have to smoke like this today. He had actually wanted to quit his habit so that he'd be more appealing to a certain girl, but seems like he was going to have to rely on cigarettes once again.

"I can't believe I've gotta go without my costume because of you!" Izuku complained. Bakugou, who was standing right next to him, rolled his eyes and let out a "Tsk" noise. The two boy's were adorned in their UA gym uniforms and were waiting for a few more students to show up so they could take off on the bus.

"Not my fault your shitty costume can't handle my explosions. And don't talk to me like we're buddy-buddy; I'll kill you." Bakugou replied, scowling at the greenette who had used to be quite a few ways shorter than him. Now it appeared that Izuku matched Bakugou's height, or maybe he was an inch or two shorter?

"Yeah, yeah. Next time we fight though, it'll be a crushing defeat for you." Izuku stated, placing a hand onto the blonde's shoulder. Bakugou glared at Izuku, but the greenette only smirked before walking towards an approaching Kyouka Jirou.

"Hey, Jirou! Looking good in that costume as always!" Izuku complimented, smiling down at the girl. She blushed and attempted to sock the boy in the arm as hard as she could, only for him to vanish as smoke and reappear behind her with her wrists being grabbed by him. "Careful, that would've hurt. Am I not allowed to compliment you now?"

"Not with your kind of intentions." She stated through grit teeth, while secretly being happy for the compliment. She then struggled against the boy's grasp on her. "Now let me go! We've gotta get on the bus!"

Izuku chuckled and released her, "Fine, fine. I've got this cool new piece of art that I wanna show you anyways. I think you'll really like this one!"

Izuku, after becoming more comfortable with the girl, had begun to show her his WIP art. These sketches and murals-to-be were kept top secret from his fans, and the fact that he went out of his way to show her his ideas and explain the deeper messages really showed how much he had begun to trust the girl.

"Can't wait to see it!" The girl stated, smiling brightly at the boy. Was it just him or was it getting harder and harder not to blush around her? She's seriously way too cute. "Oh, but what do you think we're gonna do when we get to our rescue training spot?"

Izuku shrugged, "Probably gonna be a whole bunch of easy training to be honest. Though I can't help but get the feeling something's gonna go wrong."

The greenette then looked up into the sky as a gust of wind blew past them. His gut instinct was intensifying, this could really be a bad idea...

"Something's definitely gonna go wrong..."

The 1-A students exited their bus to find themselves at a massive facility; The Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short. Izuku stepped off the bus with Jirou in tow, and stared at the large building before him. That eerie feeling telling him that something was going to go wrong multiplying ten-fold. Something was not right.

"I don't trust this place... My gut is telling me not to go in there." He mumbled, before turning to the rest of his class worriedly. Jirou picked up on the spike in Izuku's heartbeat and tapped his shoulder, causing the boy to flinch in response.

"Hey, what's up? You look like you've seen a ghost." She questioned, as she stared at the boy with a worried expression. He seemed to be quite on edge, as if he could tell that a storm was brewing. Izuku stared back at Jirou for a while before responding.
