Chapter 47

News about Deika City had everyone on edge. 

At the moment; Eva had her hands over her mouth holding back laughter as she was present with Iida, Urakaka, and Izuku. They watch the news team interview Katsuki and Shoto about stopping a villain.

"Wow! Pro-level work mere minutes after earning provisional license!" the reporter began. "This morning we welcome two students from UA. Young heroes who recently took down some rampaging villains. Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo." The two sat on opposite sides of the couch. "What a pleasure it is to have you join us," Katsuki grunted. "Uh...You must have bonded during your training, given how well you worked together, huh?"

"Does it look that way to you?" Bakugo asked. "Ya better get your eyes and head checked out soon then."

"That's right, we're friends," Todoroki confirmed.

Bakugo started yelling at him. "HUH!? WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF MAKING UP RANDOM CRAP LIKE THAT, YOU ICE-HOT IDIOT?"

"We've spent a lot of time together in our supplementary classes," Todoroki answered. 

"BECAUSE THE SCHOOL FORCED US TOO!" Bakugo roared. "TRAINING BESIDE EACH OTHER DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE FRIENDS!" Izuku, Urakaka, and Iida were all blown away in despair but Bakugo's attitude.

"How do you define friendship?" Todoroki asked. 

"I DON'T KNOW!" Bakugo responded. "YOU SHOULD GET YOUR BRAIN CHECKED, TOO!" Eva was fluttering in the air; just forcing her hands on her mouth.

'They are both so hopeless,' Eva thought to herself.

A new school day came, and they were all in class listening to the interview play from Kaminari's phone. He and Sero busted out laughing.

"They were interviewed for an entire hour, but all Bakugo's answers were trashed!" Kaminari laughed with tears in his eyes. "He's just an angry blip in the corner."

Bakugo was gritting his teeth angrily. "Why'd they cut me out?"

"You were quite raged the entire time," Eva said as she stood by his desk.

"But I'm always raging!" Bakugo gritted more. 

"Perhaps you should stray from interviews in the future," Eva advised.

"But why!" Bakugo raged as he got to his feet.

Urakaka had her hands on her cheeks. "Honestly, they kind of did him a big favor."

"And he'd already done two interviews before this one," Yaoyorozu pointed out.

"So much for racking up any good press over that thrown down," Jiro added as she twirled her ear jacks. In minutes; everyone's attention got pulled to the news report on Izuku's phone.

"They're newly minted, but those students were reliable," said the reporter with antennae. "It's my sincere hope they're able to work as actual pros in the near future. We must not have a repeat of what happened in Deika City. It's been nine days since that fateful incident, when a riot of only 20 people destroyed the city in scarcely less than an hour."

Iida leaned over to Izuku. "I heard that the damage in Deika City was worse than Kamino, but since it was less populated there were fewer casualties." They focused back on the report.

"And to blame? Villains hoping to lower the public's estimation of heroes through destruction and the loss of innocent life ."

A couple of people were interviewed.

"It's foolish to blame the heroes of Deika for this event. In my opinion, the whole system needs to be reformed."

"Don't hate on the heroes for doing their best. It's not like they have office gigs."
