Chapter 46 - Corpse
"Oh sorry, you were in my way. I didn't mean to hit you." a blonde hair boy with blue wyes said with insincerity.
Anyone could tell that he did it on purpose since there was plenty of space to move around.
"Neito Monoma from class B!" Deku exclaimed.
The blonde haired boy named Monoma stared at Deku with a grin, his mischievous behavior caused the other students to look at him in fear.
But he noticed something, it wasn't him they were scared of.
Monoma glanced behind him. The blindfold that Kazumi once had on was now taken off. Her vibrant blue eyes stared back at him. It felt like he was being consumed into her eyes. Monoma could see it, the endless darkness filled with souls, and monsters that he couldn't make out of.
He started to sweat, his breathing became rapid, and fear was starting to fill throughout his legs, chest, heart, and brain. He started to see millions of souls and monsters dragging him down towards the endless abyss.
"You." Kazumi said, causing the blonde-haired boy to snap out of his trance. He was sweating profusely, "Get me a lollipop, apologize to me by kneeling, or else you die right here."
The entire cafeteria was silent. Kazumi's words were terrifying, but they felt as if she was telling the truth. Even if she was saying that she would kill him.
"Kazumi," a voice appeared behind her as a firm hand was placed on her shoulder, "That's too far."
"Too far…?" Kazumi asked as she turned around to see the world famous hero known as All Might.
All Might was taken aback, Kazumi's eyes were filled with malice, and there seemed to be swirling with darkness. He felt a shiver down his spine.
"Too far? Haha, I can show you what is too far if he doesn't get my lollipop right now." Kazumi said with a blank expression. "I will disintegrate his body, his family, and friends won't even be able to mourn his corpse."
"I-I'll get the lollipop!" Monoma said as he ran off into the distance. His once arrogant expression changed into one filled with fear.
The entire cafeteria repeated Kazumi's words in their head. Disintegrating his corpse so his family and friends couldn't even mourn over that? Is that really something a hero should say?
They were scared, a better word for it was frightened or terrified. They didn't want to have anything to do with Kazumi if she would really do that.
Kazumi placed her blindfold back on covering her mesmerizing blue eyes.
"This is the only time I'll let it slide." Kazumi said as she glanced over at Momo who looked at her with worry, "*Sigh* Then let us all keep eating."
Due to the intense event, they had forgotten to eat their food, and were too busy watching everything unfold. They realized only a few minutes had passed by into lunch and decided to keep eating as if nothing happened.
Kazumi sat back down beside Momo who still had a worried expression.
Flicking her forehead, Kazumi asked, "What's with that expression? I'm fine, it's not like he could beat me in anything."
"That's not what I'm talking about…" Momo said, "The lollipop I gave you…"
Kazumi smiled, "Don't worry about that, I can always get more from you in the future. The blonde hair guy is going to get me one anyway."
"I see." Momo said as she took a bite down of her lunch.
"Kazumi, were you really going to kill him?" Deku asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
"Of course. He took something away from me that's important, so I should take something away from him that's also important right? In which it's his life." Kazumi said as she ate her food.
"You shouldn't talk about taking someone's life away so easily! It's just a lollipop anyway!" Deku said.
Kazumi paused and sighed, "You're naive, you don't understand how this world works. Keep eating your food, don't bother me."
"Ah! There you guys are!" a new voice said, causing the dark atmosphere to shatter.
In front of them was now a girl with teal eyes and long orange hair that was tied into a ponytail.
"And you are?"
"I'm Itsuke Kendo! I'm here to apologize on behalf of Monoma, he tends to be a bit…you know." Kendo said she scratched nape.
"It's okay, nothing happened anyway." Momo said.
"It seems so since your friend took care of it." Kendo said with a smile as she looked at Kazumi. "Anyway, I heard you guys were talking about the exam right? It looks like it's going to be a combat exam against robots."
"Eh? Really?" Deku asked. "But how do you know?"
"An upperclassman that's a friend of mine told me, though it's kind of like cheating." Kendo said.
"Oh, then we all know who's going to get first." Momo said as she leaned back into the chair. The people around the lunch table glanced at Kazumi who now had a lollipop in her mouth.
"But are you sure you should be telling us this?" Kazumi asked. "You guys from Class B had the information advantage."
"It's okay. That's all, it's time for me to go now. See ya!" Kendo said as she walked away.
"Hahhhhh, I'm glad at least someone from Class B is friendly towards us." Deku said as he had a confused expression on his face. "But why do they hate us?"
"Probably because of the sports festival and we fought villains too. He was probably jealous of that and felt inferior to us. Who knows what they're thinking." Kazumi said.
"But that doesn't mean they should hate us. Instead, they should just work harder to surpass us!" Ida said.
Kazumi sighed.
'He really doesn't get it.'
Soon enough, lunch had ended, and they were back in class. Everyone seemed enthusiastic about the fact that it wasn't a written exam and was a physical one.
"Thank god! We'll be fighting robots!"
"I can show off my quirk abilities!"
Kazumi knew the combat exam was going to be easy for her, after all, she excelled in things related to combat abilities. Her hand to hand combat was also far more superior than most of the top heroes.
Kazumi stood up from her seat and thought, 'Though, there's probably going to be more than just a combat exam.'
"Oi! Kazumi!" Kazumi turned over to Bakugo who called out to her. "What is it?"
"Knock some sense into this broccoli's brain! If he doesn't learn how to use his quirk, he might as well not even participate!" Bakugo said.
Kazumi glanced over at Deku who seemed to have found something fascinating on the ground.
"I don't care about team participation points, but next up is individual scores. We'll really see who's better." Bakugo said with an angry expression.
"You heard him, Deku. Do your best to learn to control your ability and use your full power. Don't produce half-assed results." Kazumi said.
"I'll defeat you Deku!" Bakugo stated. "You too Todoroki! And you, Kazumi! I'll kill all of you!"
And just like that, he ran out of the door.
