Chapter 7: Post-USJ

Nobody has to, but I'd appreciate if people/somebody were to post the pictures of newly introduced characters in the paragraph comment that they're introduced, just to save people from having to look up what they look like or something in case they forgot

-----------------------

After reuniting with his class, Ryoichi decided to try his best to not blame himself for letting the villains away.

Shortly after, the police had arrived in order to get reports from all of the class.

"Thanks for complying with us" Tsukaichi, the leader of the little police group, thanked the class after noting down what was said.

He then went off to find All Might to report some stuff.

"Ryoichi!" Juvia appeared out of nowhere in front of him with a fearful expression.

"Phew~ Juvia is glad Ryoichi is alright" She said after having checked his body for any wounds.

"How about you? Are you alright, Juvia?" He asked, to which she nodded.

"How about the rest of you?" He looked at the rest of the class.

"We're fine" They said in unison in different tones.

The next day, the school was shut down temporarily for that day to allow for 1-A to rest.

Fortunately, the day after school had reopened and everything got back to normal... well, except for the walking, talking mummy standing in front of the class.

"Aizawa-sensei, are you alright!?" Most of the class asked with concern.

"Don't concern yourselves over me, after all...

Your battle isn't over!" He announced ominously.

"B-battle?"

"More villains!?"

"An exam!?!"

The students voiced their worry over their 'battle'.

"The UA sports festival is approaching, boys and girls!" Aizawa said with the most enthusiasm he had ever shown.

The class fell in a cartoon-like manner at his words.

"A FESTIVAL!?"

"Don't scare us like that again!"

"But hey, atleast things are starting to sound like a normal school"

"Wait... but isn't there a chance of the villains infiltrating the school again? Are you sure it's safe to let the festival happen?" Someone stated.

"We've already thought about that possibility and well... we've decided to keep the UA sports festival ongoing as a way to show that we, as a school, are not backing away after a villain attack" Aizawa replied, not easing the students' concerns in the slightest.

"The UA festival is one of the biggest events in Japan, I'm sure most of you have seen it, it is a way to get scouted by heroes" The mention of being scouted by heroes got the students excited again.

"Remember though, time is limited. Being scouted by a hero is a very important thing for students like you guys. This is a chance you'll only get once a year... a total of three times!"

The day passed quite quick, and the end of the day was near.

1-A's spirits were high having heard about the UA sports festival they would participate in.

"Man, I can really feel the tension now!" Kirishima enthusiastically said.

"Deku, Iida, Ryoichi, Juvia... let's all do our best" Uraraka entered zen mode and muttered some stuff about winning.

"GUYS I'M GONNA GO FOR IT!!" Uraraka's charisma filled the class as they all cheered.

Ryoichi smirked at the class' mood, and left with Juvia once everyone else had left before them.

"How have you been since the USJ incident?" Ryoichi asked as they sat next to each other on a set of stairs after walking around aimlessly.

"Juvia's been fine..." She said quietly, but then turned to look at Ryoichi with an intense but caring stare "What about you, Ryoichi?... Juvia can tell something is wrong" She said bluntly, catching him off guard.

He couldn't help but awkwardly chuckle as he looked up and stared at nothing with a soft, sad smile.

"I could've stopped them... it's my fault they got away, I got too cocky..." He began to release his pent-up feelings to Juvia for some reason, which he found odd, but it felt weirdly normal.

"What if they hurt one of you guys before escaping because I let them go... I know they're currently doing their villain activities and there's probably people losing a family or friend, and it's all my fault!" He grit his teeth in anger.

"Damn it! I should've-" Suddenly, Ryoichi's head was enveloped in a warm, cosy and soft hug.

"It is not Ryoichi's fault, that is what Juvia thinks, and nothing will change that. Ryoichi is neither weak nor in the wrong" She whispered softly, still clutching Ryoichi's head.

They were currently in between her breasts (Because she hugged his head) which he tried his best to ignore as he felt like he would have been taking advantage of the situation.

"Thank you, Juvia" He replied with a warm smile, only being released from the hug a few seconds later.

"So, how did Juvia's breasts feel? Fufufu" She smugged teasingly as she pushed her boobs up.

"I-" He couldn't help but stutter, causing Juvia to giggle.

"How cute, let's go back to class, Ryoichi" She grabbed his hand and dragged him to class.

'What the fuck just happened' He thought in complaint... definitely not in joy.

It was now the end of school, and the class began to get ready to leave.

Uraraka, Midoriya and Iida were the first to leave but...

"Woah!" Uraraka yelped in surprise as outside the class there were about 50 students.

"The hell are they crowding around our class for??" Mineta complained, to which Bakugo walked past with a groan

"They're obviously here to scout out the competition, retard" He walked up to the crowd final-boss style and declared

"It's pointless to try, so how about you take ya' sorry asses home and fuck off, bastards"

Suddenly, a voice challenged Bakugo's words

"Woah, we came here to see what your class was like, but who's knew you guys would be so arrogant" A purple-haired guy, Shinso, stepped forward, "Are all the guys in the hero department like this?"

"And who the fuck are you? Cannon fodder number fuckknows, or some random half drawn background character?" Bakugo mocked

Ignoring him, Shinso carried on speaking "Did you know? The people who failed the exams for the hero department went into the other departments. And based on the results of this sports festival

The people can move up to your class, or the opposite outcome..." Shinso's unfinished comment at the end managed to inflict slight fear into most of 1-A.

"Anyway, the reason I'm here

is to declare war" Shinso finished.

Out of nowhere, another loud mouth appeared in the crowd

"HEY!! YOU!! I'M FROM CLASS 1-B, I HEARD YOU KNOCKED DOWN SOME VILLAINS OR WHATEVER SO I CAME TO HEAR IT DIRECT, BUT I DON'T WANNA HEAR FROM SOME SNOT-NOSED PUNK

DON'T EMBARASS US HERO DEPARTMENT STUDENTS, YA HEAR ME?!" Tetsutetsu shouted.

"..." Silence covered the hall as no one said anything for a while.

"Is that it?" Bakugo replied bluntly, triggering Shinso and the crowd.

"WHAT-" They were about to say something, but Bakugo walked past everyone.

"A war means there's competition between the two sides fighting..." He turned to face the students with an evil smirk befitting that of a villain rather than a hero

"But you guys aren't competition" He then walked home from there.

"Pft!" Ryoichi burst out laughing, "Man, that was probably both the funniest and best shit he's actually said.

Anyway, good luck to you guys at the sports festival" He said to the students outside, and then turned around to his class, "Bye guys".

.

2 Weeks had passed since that confrontation.

"Man, the security today is taking forever" A reporter complained outside the school.

"Well of course it would be, after all,

The sports festival is today!"
