Strings 糸

#003 - Loop

Before they could even say anything, he immediately turned his back from them and walked away.

Before entering the classroom, he could feel the sharp gaze of the boy.

Honestly, it creeped Bakugou out but he won't let it get to him. So he just ignored it and went into the room.

Once Bakugou reached to his seat, he went into deep thought.

'That guy...he doesn't look like he knows anything. So how come he could see the true form of this thing?'

He wondered, drifting his gaze on the manga. He remembered rumors about some people having a third eye, so that might be the case for that guy. It wasn't confirmed if those were real, but then again, he discovered that their world is a manga so he might as well consider this theory.

He sighed and focused his attention back to the lesson.

'Whatever. I'll just make sure he won't find out.' he thought. 'Although, I wish it was All Might or other reliable pro heroes who can see this manga, not some extra that I barely know.'

'Today is the day.'

Bakugou thought, his expression was grim as he was seated inside the bus.

He can't even warn anyone, so it's just him who knows what's going to happen. He already tried everything to give them clues about the danger, but the strings were always there to stop him.

Bakugou glanced at the strings. Right now, it is floating around the bus, guarding his every move.

He gritted his teeth.

It is a relief that no one will die, but Aizawa and Thirteen will be injured along the process. Especially Midoriya.

Bakugou glanced up the sky, his eyes narrowed.

'They aren't seriously thinking that I should follow the script and let them get severely injured, are they?' he thought.

Although it may not seem like it, the blonde still has conscience.

Later on, there was an interesting conversation between his classmates, which made him snap out from his thoughts and listen in. 

"Your quirk reminds me of All Might's." Asui commented nonchalantly, looking at Midoriya.

From that statement alone, both Midoriya and Bakugou froze. Between the two of them, Midoriya was the one who looked pale from the comment.

'She's sharp...' Bakugou observed. He quietly stared at Todoroki who was looking at Midoriya in suspicion. '...Whatever, it's not like they'll directly assume that the quirk was passed to Deku. They'll probably just suspect that he is All Might's secret love child.'

"Heh. That would be an interesting plot twist..." he muttered, almost laughing at the thought.

"Hm? What do you mean by that, Bakugou?" Jirou, who happened to have overheard him, asked.

Bakugou forgot that she was beside him, he cursed internally.

"Tch. Nothing. Just go mind your own damn business." he said, returning his gaze outside the window. He definitely knows that All Might isn't Midoriya's father, but the misunderstanding will sure be entertaining to watch.
