Total Command

Chapter 67: If you're reading this... Congratulations, you're alive.

Worrying about the sudden change in demeanor in a classmate was probably not the best idea this close to the midterms.

Kyoka's eyebrows furrowed as she heard another dreamy sigh coming from her left. She had heard it every so often during classes for the day but couldn't place the voice. As far as she could remember, nobody in their class sounded like...

A soft giggle shook Kyoka's belief as she hazarded a glance over at Katsumi. She had been quiet most of the morning, but now she was... smiling? The normally brooding blonde looked bizarrely happy, the happiest she had seen her since Green gave her that hug at-

Wait.

She noticed Izuku picking up a pencil that Katsumi had "dropped" and returning it to the woman next to him in the desk circle that they had constructed. The reading discussion for the article that Midnight had assigned wasn't that engaging so...

Another giggle followed by Izuku's nervous chuckling and- was she swooning over him?!

Kyoka looked around at the various expressions of the other women in the circle, ranging from bemused to jealous to adoring.

What the hell is going o- Oh.

Ohhhh...

She could feel herself blushing, and was trying hard to not burst out laughing.

He fucked the angry out of her.

"Mina." Izuku almost grumbled, looking down at the woman in his lap. "You know I can see you messing with your phone right?"

The woman whistled, acting like she didn't hear him, earning an amused huff from Momo, and a tired sigh from Tomoyo.

"If you don't focus, the tutoring won't help, Ashido."

The pinkette sighed, putting her phone on the desk, "I knowwww- but I think I get it now so it's boring me."

Katsumi cackled from her spot next to Eiko, the red-head looking up from her own studies at the sudden intrusion. "You think you got it? Pinkie you need to be sure."

"I am!" Mina protested, almost bouncing on her spot- much to the worry of Izuku. "I'll show you Baka-gou! Ask me a question!"

"Stop calling me that!"

"NEVER!"

Izuku chuckled as the study session slowly turned to chaos, everyone laughing and the tension built in the room alleviating.

Maybe it was what they all needed to have instead of one last cram session, the exams were the next day after all.

Time really seemed to fly in UA.

"P̺r̩o͎b͎a̳bly͈ th̻e̱ schedule, ̭it ̞alwa̧y͜s f̱ee̻l̯s̫ ̞lik͇e ̡t͇i̤m̱e̟ s͢pe̜e̹d̤s u̜p ̬w͍h̞e̜n̤ y̥ou stic̱k̢ to̧ oneͅ.̟"̨

Probably?

"Hahahaha- we are so fucked," Doi mumbled, sounding dead inside towards the end.

"Speak for yourself, sparkplug," Jirou mumbled, spinning a pencil on her jack. "Actually don't, I think you got this- more than usual at least, but that's not a high bar to pass is it?"

"Why do you have to be so mean yet encouraging!" Doi barked back like a partner in a comedic duo. "I don't know how to feel now!"

"Th̜e̮ ̮an͚s͍wer is̤ ̤D̨" ̠

Shut up. Izuku huffed internally, trying not to break the silence of the examination. That's cheating.

"͟F̨i̩ne̩,̳"̘ Nana huffed back, the sounds of shuffling papers echoing in Izuku's mind before a resounding 'plap' like a folder being dropped on a table followed it. "F͍o͜r̜g̬ot ho̠w b͜o͟ṛing̖ t̺e̮șts͖ ̤w̝er̹e.ͅ"̫ ̰
