The next thing he knew, he was back again in the classroom. In front of him, he saw Aizawa announcing to the class about having the "Trial of Rescue" in USJ.

Bakugou stumbled and fell down from his seat. He took a look around his surroundings, trying to assess the situation. However, the panic that was rising within didn't help him think straight.

He didn't realize that Aizawa already approached him. He couldn't hear what the man was saying, because the voices were being cancelled out from his brain. Earlier, he was just investigation room. So what the fuck happened? Why was he back in the classroom?

"Hey, kid! Snap out of it!" the voice of his teacher caused him to snap back to reality. He didn't realize that the teacher was already shaking him.

Bakugou looked up to see his face, horror was still evident in his eyes. He glanced at the man's arms, they weren't severely amputated—it looked good as new, as if his arms weren't chopped off!

Asui suddenly came into Bakugou's mind, in which he immediately turned around to look at the frog girl.

His eyes widened. Asui was just sitting right there, all alive and well—she was also staring at him, all confused about the commotion.

He looked back at Aizawa who somehow seemed concerned.

"Kacchan!" Midoriya called out for him, hurriedly running towards him. "Are you okay?" he asked, reaching out his hand to him, expecting the other boy to take it.

This irritated Bakugou, he had enough of everyone looking at him with those eyes. Everything about it felt unnerving. It causes nothing but chills deep within his bones. Also, he's not that weak, so they didn't need to look at him that way.

"Move it, shitty Deku!" he slapped the protagonist's arm away and snarled. "I don't need your help! Don't underestimate me!"

This caused Midoriya to quickly back away.

When Bakugou returned to his seat, he heard Denki whisper to Kirishima.

"Man, that's really harsh of him. Scary."

Bakugou clicked his tongue, deciding to ignore them.

Aizawa just looked at him with disapproval. "This isn't the time to be immature." he scolded. Then he faced his students. "We can't waste time. As I was saying, it's entirely up to you whether you would wear s hero costume or not. The training area is fairly far away, so we'll get there by bus. That's all, go get prepared." he told everyone. Before he could even leave the classroom, he stopped and turned to Bakugou. "Bakugou, we'll talk after class." he said. And then after that, he left.

"Ohhh looks like someone is in trouble!" Kaminari jokingly said.

In the back of Bakugou's mind, he could tell that Aizawa knew that there was something up with him. Judging by how he reacted earlier, there is no doubt everyone would be suspicious and wonder what was that all about.

Meanwhile, Bakugou couldn't help but wonder...did he just travelled back in time?

From what he remembered, this isn't his first time. This kind of thing also happened when he tried to tell Aizawa about the manga. This time, he didn't attempt though, so why was the time reverted back for a few hours?

He glanced at his bag, where the manga was in it.

'...Is it because no one was supposed to die to begin with?' he thought.

Indeed, no one died in the manga. But now, someone died, and that someone is clearly back in the land of the living.

His eyes narrowed. 'If my theory is correct, then this thing wants all of us alive....'
