"We're almost there, that's enough!" Aizawa announced to the class, telling them to be quiet now.

Bakugou stood there for a while. He wasn't the type to get nervous easily, but now his heart is pounding like crazy.

"Bakugou, sit down." Aizawa told the angry blonde.

Bakugou realized that he had been doing nothing but wait until they get to U.S.J. Won't it be much better if he stopped them now?

What was the point? He can't even tell them anything. Who one earth would even believe him? How can he prove his claims when the evidence is clearly invisible to them? He'll just follow what was in the manga and they'll all live—

An image of their teacher appeared in his mind, all severely injured.

"Tch. Fucking dammit!" he cursed.

Iida looked at him scandalized. "Bakugou! That is not a way to speak to your teacher!" he scolded.

"Is there something wrong? I told you to sit do—" Before their teacher could even finish their sentence, Bakugou ran off from his seat and blocked the conventional door.

"Wha—Kacchan!?" Midoriya exclaimed, looking at him in confusion.

"Hey, Bakugou!? What do you think you're doing?" Kaminari asked, clearly shocked at the sudden behavior.

Aizawa became annoyed. "Bakugou, stop blocking the—"

"Don't go!" Bakugou shouted as the bus finally stopped. Right now, they're in front of the building. They have arrived at their final destination. "We can't go, no matter what!" he tried to warn them.

Everyone looked at him, confused.

Meanwhile, the strings straightened up. Their movements were strange. It's as if they are giving Bakugou a warning.

Aizawa took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "What do you mean, problem child? Tell us the reason why we can't go?"

Bakugou opened his mouth but he became hesitant. The strings immediately surrounded his neck and mouth, their grip on him wasn't tight, but they are warning him that they'll do it if he continues any further.

Bakugo remembered what happened back then and it wasn't a great experience. So instead, he said, "There's something up. I don't think this trip is going to be safe."

This caused an alarm to some of the students.

Aizawa frowned. His eyes narrowed in suspicion. "And why is that?"

"Because the vi—" Once again, his throat burned in pain.

The strings were vibrating in fury. Their grip on him tightened.

Knowing Bakugou, he fought back.

Because of that, he began to choke a bit. He winced and began to sway, he immediately grabbed onto something to keep himself steady. He tried to not make it noticeable, but unfortunately for him, everyone did notice.

"Hey, dude? You doing okay?" Kirishima asked in concern.

Bakugou ignored him. He touched his own neck and looked at Aizawa's eyes. "For some reason..., I can't tell you." he said instead. "Shit.." he muttered out later on.

"Bakugou, this isn't the time for jokes." Iida said, doing the hand-chop gesture.

Midoriya frowned and butted in. "Kacchan doesn't do jokes. If he said that it's not safe, then he's really being serious..." he placed a hand on his chin. When he realized that all eyes were on him, he began to freak out. "I-I'm sorry..!! Well, I've known Kacchan ever since we were kids so...I only told you what I think! U-um..."
