Chereads / Burn Me (Bakugo x Reader) / Chapter 17 - Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 17 - Chapter Sixteen

Vlad's sweat ran cold turning back to his students on the gym floor. "Yo-You put my students in danger!?"

"No." Aizawa commented, glancing at his class who all stared with wide eyes and opened mouths. "If I thought for one second anyone inside this school would be in danger due to her, I never would have agreed to take her in my class."

"You agreed? I thought-"

"What-" Aizawa smirked, "-All Might just waved his magic wand and she just got in simple like that?"

"Well..." Vlad looked away.

"(y/n) didn't just go through the exams the regular students did, she had twice the amount of work to do before the board would allow her in."

"But-"

"You all look at her like she's weak and broken. In reality she is simply in recovery."

"That is not-" Vlad pointed to the gym floor where you dodged and ducked every blow Class B threw at you. "-someone 'simply in recovery'!"

"Truth be told-" Aizawa said, "-I don't even know what she is capable of."

"Then why did you let that girl into your class!?" Vlad demanded, the students around them still in shock.

"Her past is not her fault-"

"You let a killer into-"

"No matter-" Aizawa cut Vlad off this time, "-how many times Shadow Jack held the people she survived with hostage, no matter how much they tortured and killed those closest to her-" Aizawa locked eyes with Vlad, "-she refused to take a life of an innocent person."

"Wha-" Vlad was speechless.

"That is why they imprisoned her inside that machine." Aizawa said.

"Mr. Vlad!" Ibara Shiozaki moved forward, "You can't be serious! That-" She pointed towards you; "-monster can't be inside this school!"

Looping around Jurota's powerful arms, you took slight window you had to get behind Kosei, using your elbow behind his head, sent him flying forward. Jurota was running for you, grabbing Kosei right as Jurota attacked. You jumped away watching Jurota knockout his own teammate.

"What-!?" Jurota gasped, watching Kosei fall unconscious to the floor. "-K-Kosei!"

"Nice." You mocked,

"How are we losing!?" Neito Monoma gushed, "She is freaking injured!"

You had mere minutes left, you could feel your stomach growing weak by the second. This fight had to end now, Jurota was a strong opponent, but he was led by emotion and let himself get worked up.

Your fingers tingled, ready to freeze him in the place he stood, but suddenly your hands were encased with green vines.

Your face scrunched in confusion, you tried to move your limps but failed. The grip on your arms was so tight it felt like it was cutting off your circulation. The injuries on your arms burned in protest.

"I cannot stand back and watch this fight any longer-!" A voice belonging to Ibara Shiozaki called "-this is an unfair match!"

"Well now it is-!" Kaminari snapped, "-you can't get involved that is cheating!"

You snapped your head forward, eyes slightly wide watching Jurota flying towards you, seeing an opening to landing a direct hit.

You struggled against the vines trying to free yourself.

"(y/n)!" Midoriya worriedly called, pulling everyone's attention back onto the fight.

Aizawa stepped forward, unsure if he should get in the middle. His chest bubbled in anticipation, if you were to be hit by Jurota could your body handle that type of damage?

Aizawa could practically hear All Might screaming in his ear, Aizawa stepped forward, about to use his binding cloth to capture Jurota but before he could breathe fire erupted around you.

Aizawa's lips parted in surprise watched the vines burn, Ibara shirked, quickly breaking her tie to the vines before the fire reached her.

"Todoroki!" Vlad shouted at the red- and white-haired boy.

"That wasn't me." He calmly stated.

"Like hell it wasn't!" Neito snapped.

"Ah!" Jurota cried, shutting all conversation on the sideline down.

"You have got to be kidding!" Neito yelled, seeing the fire igniting in the palms of your hands as Jurota quickly patted his hair to snuff out the flames. "Three quirks!?"

"How is that possible?" Toru questioned, turning to Aizawa.

Quickly glancing behind you, you stomped your foot on the gym floor, ice quickly trailed from you to Ibara who screamed in fear as you incased her in ice.

You were done with this fight.

Jurota quickly scrambled back watching ice swimming along the floor's surface rush towards him. Ice wrapped around his feet keeping in place just long enough for you to bring a fist full of air slamming against his body, rocking it to its core.

Jurota fell backwards unconscious.

Silence fell over the gymnasium, you let out a breath not wanting to face Aizawa for disobeying the rules. Before you turned to your teacher you shattered your ice wrapped around Aoyama. He was curled up in a ball on the ground, hearing the cracking of ice he popped his head up.

"I-Is it over?"

"Yeah." You breathed walking over to him.

"Did-Did we win?"

"You could say that." You muttered glancing at the two students from Class 1-B getting hauled away to the infirmary. "I told you there was nothing to be worried about." You flashed a smile causing Aoyama to tear up.

"We won!" He jumped, wrapping his arms around you.

"Aoyama-" Aizawa called, stepping beside the two students. "-give us a moment."

"Y-Yes sir." Aoyama nodded, shooting you a concerned look before joining the sidelines with the rest of his class.

"I'm sorry-" You quickly say, "-I know I wasn't supposed to use-"

"Using more than two of your quirks is fine (y/n)." Aizawa quickly brushed off your words, taking in your physical state. "You were defending yourself, Ibara shouldn't have interfered with your match like she did-" You both turned to the frozen clump of ice. Vlad King was scratching at it trying to break his student free.

"Can you-" Aizawa sighed, "-unfreeze her or..."

"Do I have to?"

Aizawa struggled to hide his smirk. Your teacher noted the sweat coating your skin, but other than that you were fine from what he could see.

"You did a good job." Aizawa said as he turned walking to the sidelines were the two classes waited, most still stunned by a piece of your past being revealed and others blown away by a person possessing three quirks.

"(y/n)-" Midoriya stepped forward but was stopped by Aizawa who held a hand up.

You waited for the back lash.

Aizawa spilled more of your secrets, you waited for your classmates to fully reject you. You supposed the weekend plans with Mina were off now, and you were kind of starting to look forward to them...

Your homeroom teacher walked over to his bag resting beside his desired sleeping bag. Aizawa handed you a cold can of soda and a bag of candy.

"She needs to eat." Aizawa informed your class who collected around you as you sat on the ground feeling the strong need for a nap.

"That was insane!" Mina was the first to break the silence as you sipped the bubbly liquid.

"Yeah-!" Midoriya instantly agreed, "-I had no idea you held more than one quirk!"

"Why didn't you tell us!?" Toru added.

"How the hell do you have three quirks!?" Bakugo pushed his way through the crowd.

You shrugged in response.

"Fight me!" Bakugo demanded,

"Now is not the time." Aizawa called turning from Vlad, "By the way (y/n), you can remove those weights now."

"Weights!?" The gym exploded,

"She was being weighted down this entire time!?" Vlad cried, annoyed he was so impressed by you.

"To make the fight fair, yes." Aizawa said,

"How was that fight fair!?" Hiryu Rin stepped forward, "She is a killer-"

"Don't call her that!" Mina stood, "(y/n) is no murder!" You looked over at the pink girl, not expecting anyone, especially not your classmates to come running to your defense.

"Yeah!" Ochaco agreed, "She is like the nicest person!"

"You can't judge her for her past!" Kirishima stepped forward, glaring at Rin, "She had no choice, she did what she had to do to survive, and you heard Mr. Aizawa, she never hurt an innocent person even when it meant her family would pay the price!"

"If that isn't what makes a true hero-!" Midoriya stood against Class B in front of you, "-I don't know what does!"

You watched in silence as these almost strangers defended you against their own peers. Your chest felt tight filled with an unknown emotion you couldn't figure out.

"(y/n) forget them, how do you feel!?" Mina turned, giving you all her attention.

"I'm fine." You said, removing the weights from your ankles.

"These things are heavy!" Sero gawked, struggling to keep one held up in his hand.

"(y/n)-!" Momo pulled your eyes onto her, "-your awesome!" You felt your face heat at Momo's wholesome smile. Your face blushed as you clammed up.

"I..." You muttered, pulling your eyes to the floor eating your snack as the rest of the matches between Class 1-A and Class 1-B continued. Todoroki unfroze Ibara who was then sent to the infirmary.

After two long hours, and a handful of sweet treats Class 1-A came out victorious.

"Alright everyone-" Aizawa called, seeing Vlad was too busy crying to himself to speak. "-change, then get back to your homeroom and wait for an announcement."

"Announcement?" Students smattered, slowly making their way towards the gym locker rooms.

Taking a long swig finishing off the can of soda you stood, after tossing the trash away you turned only to freeze in place. You saw Mina and Ochaco waiting for you.

"What-?"

"What do you think the announcement will be!?" Mina asked, looping her arm around yours.

Your muscles went stiff.

"Hm..." Ochaco hummed, "Maybe the teacher will have another faculty meeting, which means we could get a day off!"

"Oh-!" Mina gasped, "-if that happens we all have to go do something fun!"

"Yes!" Ochaco agreed, "(y/n) what do you think the announcement will be?"

"No idea." You muttered changing clothes.

"So-" Mina turned after buttoning up her shirt, "-can we talk about you!?"

"What about me?" You questioned, waiting for the hundred questions to rain.

"It must be so cool to have three quirks!" Mina gasped, "You have wind, fire and ice right!?"

"You took down those two class 1-B kids without even breaking a sweat!" Ochaco added,

"Yeah!" Mina agreed, "And you did that without Aoyama's help!"

"Did you see his face when (y/n) broke that ice dome around him!?" Ochaco laughed.

"You...You guys aren't scared about what Aizawa said?"

"What Aizawa said?" Mina blinked glancing to Ochaco, "Oh about you?"

"Yeah."

"Why would we be scared?"

"Uh...because-"

"Mr. Aizawa said he trusted you." All Humor on Mina's face drained away, "If he can trust you then so can we."

You were speechless for the rest of the walk back to class. Mina and Ochaco filled the space with plenty of conversation.

The three of you walked into the classroom, seeing everyone was already there in their seats waiting. Behind you Aizawa walked in, staring at the three of you to take your seats. Mina giggled as she rushed to her desk.

"Before class ends for the day, the school has come to the decision the UA sports festival will not be canceled after all-"

"Yes!"

You glanced around the excited classroom confused, what was so special about a festival?

"-for those of you who don't know what it is-" Aizawa read your confused face, "-while it is true joining a popular hero agency can garner your greater experience and popularity. One chance a year, three chances in a lifetime, no aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival. You will be seen around the country on live television, this is your chance to showcase yourself."

You nodded understanding everyone's excitement, this was their big debut.

"You have one week until the sports festival-" Aizawa said, "-so don't go slacking off in your training."

"Yes sir!" The class felt energic!

"Your excused." Aizawa lazily called, turning from us.

"I can't believe we are going to be in the sports festival!" Mina cheered, throwing her arms up in the air.

"I was nervous the school would cancel it after what happened at USJ." Midoriya said,

"What happened at USJ?" You found yourself wondering out loud.

"Oh (y/n)-!" Asui laughed wrapping an arm around you, "-we have a lot to catch you up on!" You blinked in confusion, not understanding.

You didn't have much time to ponder for when Aizawa opened the classroom door, the doorway was swarming with students.

"Move." Aizawa sounded deeply annoyed. The students instantly created a path. You watched your teacher lazily walk away not caring to turn back to his students. This was not his problem.

"Wha-!?" Ochaco gasped, "-what the heck are you all doing here!?"

"Do you students have some sort of business with our class?" Ida called over the mixing voices.

"Why are you blocking our doorway!?" Mineta cut in, "I won't let you hold us hostage!" You raised an eyebrow, what exactly would he do if that was their intention?

"They're scouting out the competition, idiots." Bakugo called, standing from his desk lifting his bag over his shoulder. "Were the class that survived a real villain attack, they want to see us with their own eyes."

"Let's hope he doesn't explode anybody." Sero muttered.

"At least you know now what a future pro looks like-" Bakugo stood in the doorway facing the crowd. "-now move it extras." There is that word again.

"You can't walk around calling people that because you don't know who they are!" Ida complained, lecturing his classmate.

"So, this is Class 1-A-" A voice stepped forward, you lifted your sleepy eyes over to see a mop of purple hair. "-I heard you guys were impressive, but you just sound like an ass."

You were beginning to feel like you were placed in the wrong class. How on earth did this group of kids get so many people to hate them?

"Is everyone in the hero course this delusional, or is it just you?" Purple mop questioned; you had a feeling he was going to be dead soon, the steam radiating off Bakugo could almost be seen.

"How sad to come here only to find a bunch of ego maniacs." Purple boy shrugged; you noticed the deep bags under his eyes.

"Why did you come here then!?" Bakugo snapped.

"Her." Purple hair nodded in your direction, pulling all unwanted eyes onto you. "It's not every day a spot is made specially for one student. I wanted to check out what little competition from this class I would have in the festival."

"What the hell does that mean!?" Bakugo growled.

"It means I am curious what she can do-"

"Why are you talking about me like I'm not here?" You stood from your desk, moving to stand beside Bakugo. Midoriya, Mina as well as the rest of your class were stunned you had spoken up.

Most times you remain quiet.

"I didn't mean to-" Purple hair smirked; "-I just heard you weren't much of a talker-"

"Since I haven't heard anything about you-" you stepped forward, "-you're not much of anything."

"Oh!" A round of gasps came from behind you.

"You're feisty-" Purple hair grinned, "-I like that in a girl-"

"And just like that I need a shower." You rolled your eyes.
