Chapter 57 - Back To The Classroom

(I don't usually ask for power stones, but hey, it's been a while since my book was on the rankings, so if you want to, send some my way.)

...

"BAHAHAHAHA! What the hell happened to your hair Bakugo?!" Sero's cackling could be heard across the school, as he and Kirishima were laughing at Bakugo's hair, which had been combed into a neat side part, courtesy of his mentor, Best Jeanist.

"Bakugo, I like your cut G!" Kirishima taunted alongside Sero, both dropping down on the floor laughing like maniacs as Bakugo glared at them with murderous intent.

"Shut the fuck up! I'll kill you!"

"Like how you killed your haircut?!" Denki joined the two as the trio laughed at Bakugo's misery together. Meanwhile with the girls, some were hiding their laughter with their hands, while Mina was just outright laughing without a care in the world.

Bakugo then heard clicks from a camera. He turned around, looking at Todoroki who had his phone up, pointing at Bakugo.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, icy hot?!" Bakugo stomped towards him.

"Nothing."

"Don't bullshit me! I know you're going to make stickers! Delete them or I'll delete your life!"

"Try it and I'll let the whole world know just how good looking you are in that hairstyle." An unfazed Todoroki threatened in return, a small smirk gracing his lips.

"Argh!!!"

"Our class seems livelier than usual don't ya think?" Tsuyu commented, standing beside Toru.

"Yeah! It's like we all just suddenly became besties." The invisible girl agreed. The door to their class slid open, as Sukuna stepped in, having just returned from the toilet.

"I see we have new sticker material." He commented in amusement, glancing at Bakugo who yelled in rage, getting increasingly frustrated at the taunting.

"Do you wanna die too?!"

"I'll pass. I have a lot to lose as you can see." He replied casually, standing behind Mina sitting on his seat and crossed his arms, while the girl smiled and did a double peace sign in a cute manner, both directed at Bakugo who made vomiting noises in response.

"It seems they've made it official." Izuku commented, with Uraraka nodding in agreement.

"I think it's kinda sweet don't ya think?" The round faced girl replied. Izuku only nodded, smiling as he watched the banter continue.

"But on a serious note, y'all are like the talk of the nation." Denki glanced at the five classmates that were involved in the Hosu Incident.

"I saw his video about his speech. And he kinda makes a point... Not that I agree with his way of doing things, by the way!" Denki raised his hands as all eyes suddenly bored holes to him.

"Dude, you better stop before you dig a bigger hole for yourself." Kirishima interjected. Denki shrugged.

"I mean is he wrong though? Heroes are more like celebrities instead of the actual meaning of their title now. I'm not saying I'm 100% a self sacrificing guy, but I joined UA cuz I want to help people and I believe my powers can make a better society. So that doesn't make me a 'fake', right?" Denki argued. Momo sighed.

"From the way I understand it, Stain's ideologies is much more deeper than just that. Would you still save people if hero society collapsed and there were no rankings, no money, no fame?" Momo questioned.

"Uh... yeah? Cuz it's the right thing to do." Denki tilted his head. Sure he may like the popularity, but he wasn't going to let it get to his head or anything.

"Truth be told." Uraraka started. "I did join UA cuz I wanna become a hero to earn money and help my parents out, but when I started working with Ryukyu, I realize that I can both help my parents and also help other people too. I became something larger than the reason I started. So uh..." She laughed a little and scratched her head.

"What I'm trying to say is that I don't fully agree with Stain, sure he may be right about some parts of hero society, but he treats people like a frozen snapshot, ya know? Like they can't change."

"I kinda pity him, ya know..." Mina commented. "He thinks he can justify killing people because he's 'saving the corrupt world', but that's not how things work. I personally think he could've kept the ideology but done things in a different way, ya know what I mean? You don't always have to be the bad guy to change the world."

"Eh well, what's done is done. He's probably going to Tartarus soon." She then shrugged, before she widened her eyes a little, an excited expression on her face.

"Oh yeah! I've only heard rumors from the seniors but, do you guy know that UA is planning something called Villain Rehabilitation Program? " Jiro tilted her head.

"What? Is it like putting a villain into their own redemption arc and turning them into a hero?" She wondered. Mina nodded.

"Yeah, something like that, but I'm not pretty sure we'll get involved or not though, cuz ya know, we're not exactly trained in therapy."

"That is a wonderful idea." Momo nodded. "Though I could only imagine the controversy around it." She added.

"I know right? Imagine if you suddenly see your family's killer walking around helping other people." Uraraka hummed. Izuku shook his head, with an amused smile.

"I know my mom would definitely say something about it. It'd probably be something along the lines of 'putting my child in the same training environment as someone who used to stab people'."

"But villains aren't born like that, they're made. So I'd like to give that program a shot." He stated. Bakugo scoffed.

"Of course you'd be saving them, nerd. Why am I not surprised. But let's get one thing straight, if they screw up, I'll blast them!" He declared, his straight hair suddenly poofing up.

"What are you talking about, Bakugo? The program doesn't even exist yet!" Iida interrupted.

"I'm creating an imaginary scenario, Four Eyes!"

"What are you kids yapping about?" Aizawa grumbled as he walked in class. He looked at his students quickly taking their seats, smiling innocently at him.

He sighed, shaking his head.

"Problem children, all of you."

...

"Look guys, check this out." Mineta pointed at a hole in the wall of the changing room. They had just finished a training session with All Might.

"Mineta... Just don't..." Denki sighed. He'd rather not let Jiro experience that. Actually Jiro would probably beat the shit out of him now that he thought about it.

"Mineta! Cease this at once!" Iida shouted, knowing full well what the little pervert intended to do. Mineta was about to peek inside the hole, but suddenly, a chilling pressure enveloped his body, making him unable to move further.

"What do you think you're doing, Mineta?" He shakily turned back, glancing at Sukuna, having his Quirk activated, slowly stepped towards him with a demonic aura oozing out, his crimson eyes piercing through Mineta's soul.

"N-n-n-nothing Thukuna! I-i-i swear!"

"It better be." Sukuna picked the little Mineta up by his shirt, staring straight at his eyes.

"By the way, I see the way you look at Mina's body. I know she's attractive... but that's besides the point. If you even try to do something to her... Well, I don't think I have to explain what I would do to you."

" Y-yes sir!! I'm sorry!!!!"

On the girls' side of the changing room, Jiro sighed as she stopped listening in the conversation with her earphone jacks.

"Your boyfriend just saved me a lot of work, Mina." She smiled at Mina who was in the middle of changing back from her hero outfit to her school uniform.

"Hihi! That's Sukubae for ya!"

"Sukubae? Really?" Jiro deadpanned at her.

"Yeah I know! Very original!"

...

"Let's see...." Aizawa muttered to himself as his students entered their class after the changing room fiasco.

"As you all know, summer break is approaching, and of course, there's no logical reason that the kids in the Department of Heroes are allowed to relax for a full month. So the school has decide that we'll be going to a summer break forest lodge." He declared. Class 1-A cheered loudly at the news, some already discussing what they would do at the lodge.

"We are sooo playing truth or dare!" Mina cackled. "Oh and the campfire! It's gonna be lit!" She shouted, secretly throwing glances at Sukuna, who already knew she was staring.

'She's planning something.' Sukuna thought to himself. 'But I wonder what...'

"However..." He raised his right hand, silencing the class. " Should any of you fall short of a passing grade for the end of term test..." He grinned eerily at them, a dark aura around him.

"It's remedial hell for you..."

" Let's do our best everybody!!!" Kirishima raised his fist, hyping up the class.

"Yeah!!!!"

...

"I never thought the Hero Killer would be captured, but things are going just as foreseen." A faceless man, with only his mouth visible, leaned back against his chair, with tubes injected into his face and neck.

"Though there is one part that I did not expect. Ryomen Sukuna..." The man's fists clenched, seemingly a little frustrated.

"Seems Jin and Kaori got busy after that day...I was that close, a shame that All Might interfered, or I would've been on top of the world by now." He chuckled.

"No matter, those two can relax in retirement for now. They better enjoy it while it lasts..."
