Saiki's Disastrous Life at UA High

Chapter 29- Secrets Revealed

Bakugo walks through the darkened hallways, his hands shoved in his pockets as he angrily searches.

Where is the asshole?

Bakugo tchs, stopping when he spots a flash of purple in a classroom. He slams open the door with an explosion, his eyes narrowing.

"I found you, you asshole."

"Huh? Who are you again?" Bakugo takes the boy by the collar, lifting him against the wall. He allows nitroglycerin to drip off his hands, soaking into the purple-haired teen's uniform. His eyes are crazy with rage as he grips the uniform, growling like a wild dog.

"How the fuck do you know Saiki?"

"What the hell, dude! Why does it matter?" Bakugo moves his hand to the kid's neck, pushing against the esophagus.

"Answer the damn question."

"F-fine! J-just le- dow-" The blonde clenches his jaw, releasing his prey. Reita falls to his hands and knees, gasping for air. "Damn, that hurt."

"That was nothing compared to what I can do." Bakugo slams his hand against the wall, creating a large explosion that leaves a hole surrounded by charred drywall. Reita flinches, whimpering in fear. "Answer. The. Damn. Question."

"I- I'm more afraid of him than I am of you!" Reita quickly mutters, shielding his face with his arms.

He seems genuinely terrified of Saiki. Unless Saiki's into some kinky shit... no, don't think like that. Either way, Saiki's hiding something, and this idiot knows what that is.

Bakugo smirks, poking Reita with his foot.

"Are you sure of that?" He asks, pulling his foot back to kick.

"AHH DON'T HURT ME I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING JUST PLEASE LEAVE MY BEAUTIFUL FACE ALOOONNNEE!" Bakugo stops, his foot centimeters from Reita's face.

"Good. Now, get up." Reita nods, whimpering as he scrambles to his feet. Bakugo pulls out a chair, plopping into it and angrily motioning for Reita to do the same in the chair across from him. "Speak."

"I'm not sure how to explain this..."

"Just spit it out, asshole."

"Uh... right. Saiki and I are... not from this universe. Actually, there are quite a few people that shouldn't be here."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"You wanted the answers, right?" Bakugo clenches his jaw, nodding.

"Saiki was, is, a psychic. The thing is, in our universe, those were way more... rare. In our universe, you were blessed to have powers. Here it's just a character trait." Reita gestures to Bakugo, too wrapped up in his story to notice the boy fuming. "There were actually only three psychics in our school. Saiki, myself, and Mikoto, not that you know her. Anyway, Saiki was by far the most powerful psychic anyone had ever heard of. Well, anyone dead had ever heard of. The 'real' world didn't know about his abilities. He just kept to himself. He avoided other kids, he never showed off, he did everything in his powers to stay out of sight, to be completely average. You wouldn't imagine the lengths he went through to stay unseen. Sometimes it felt like that's all that mattered to him. Other than coffee jelly, of course." Bakugo chuckles to himself, remembering how happy Saiki was to get coffee jelly. "Saiki, out of nowhere, decided he was going to leave. I don't know if he was tired of being average or if he just wanted an easier life, one where he didn't have to hide, but he wanted something more, that's for sure. He didn't confide in any of his friends. One night he just... did it. He changed everything. I'm not sure how or why, but one day I woke up in this universe, with two sets of memories. I think my powers enabled me to maintain the memories of my previous life. But that doesn't matter. What matters is Saiki. He needs his friends. He needs you. Especially now." Reita takes a deep breath, signaling the end of his monologue. Bakugo merely stares at the floor, biting his lip as he thinks.
