Chapter 11

Back in the assessment room, All Might looked rather clumsy, he quickly praised our strategy and abilities while giving some clumsy advice and encouragement to Shoto and Mezo.

Only Bakugo and Izuku knew that the reason All Might was rushing things was because he was nearing his limit.

Quickly All Might disappears on the horizon, a cloud of smoke under each of his steps.

Finally the eyes of the rest of the class turned to Bakugo, he already saw the endless stream of questions that would come if he stayed here and decided to quickly head to the locker room, letting Tsuyu answer at least the questions the girls would have.

However the group of boys were still following him, apparently the first to speak will be either Denki or Kirishima.

As expected, Denki opened his mouth first, an excited look on his face. "How did you not get trapped in the ice!? It was crazy I thought you lost from the start, but like a ghost you…"

Bakugo stopped listening to the tired electric youth at the sudden energy.

The answer was quite simple, it was enough to blow up the ice, however for Mezo not to notice it he had to do it at the exact moment when Shoto froze the building, for that Bakugo had to rely on his reflexes and his instincts sharp, even though it all seemed smooth and simple it was in fact the result of all the effort he had put in over the past two years.

Tsuyu was actually trapped in the ice from start to finish, stuck on the ceiling above the stairs. The reason he got out of the ice at the end was because of the new equipment in Bakugo's costume that he gave the frog in advance.

In all, Bakugo had given the girl two pieces of equipment, the explosive balls and ultra-heating fabrics that he had planned to increase her sweating. All Tsuyu had to do was wrap the fabrics around her feet and her hands cling to the ceiling and wait for them to melt the ice enough to escape.

Finally arrived at the locker room, Bakugo changed quietly, enjoying the moment of this moment of tranquility. However Shoto already in his school uniform walked towards him.

Pausing in front of him, everyone's gaze fell on the seemingly unfazed shoto.

Finally after a few seconds of silence, Bakugo, who couldn't stand the silence any longer, began to speak.

"What ? You come to complain after losing, is that it?

Shoto looked startled for a moment but quickly recovered.

"No, I'm here to tell you that I won't lose to you again... Next time my ice cream will beat you."

This sentence might seem full of motivation and sincerity, but for Bakugo it was as if he was spitting in his face, trampling on his pride and his training for two years as if he was nothing.

This guy against whom he had just won, the proof of his efforts had just announced to announce in front of him that he would beat him next time without even giving everything! For Bakugo to know that he had won against him who did not use fire was already insulting but that!

Feeling the anger welling up inside him, Bakugo massaged his temples, his teeth clenched in anger.

Seeing Shoto leaving having seemingly said all he wanted to, Bakugo opened his mouth.

"If you don't want to die next time, what's the point of everything, half-hot, half-cold!?"

Shoto stopped for a moment but finally continued on his way leaving the locker room.

Sighing, Bakugo turned around and put his things away, he muttered to himself "What the hell is wrong with me.."

'It's not like saying that he's going to give his all next time, if simple words could change people everything would be easier.'

Suddenly Bakugo thought of a bubbly blond who had actually mastered the skill of changing people and even demons with words. 'Maybe I've come across the wrong world'

Shaking his head he calmly left the locker room walking casually, after his outburst earlier no one seemed to want to ask him any more questions.

Away from his ears, when he left, Kirishima who was next to Bakugo turned to Denki calling him.

"Did you hear what I heard??"

Seemingly oblivious Kirishima tilted his head asking "What mate?"

"What he whispered before leaving! I knew it, this guy is really a tsun…"

"A what ?"

Unaware of the rumors that were beginning to spread about him, bakugo quietly returned home.

Sometimes ignorance is happiness.
