Bab 22: Commotion and questions
The people in the class looked to the source of the commotion, and saw a crowd of students blocking the way of their classmate.
" Now that your class fought with villains you are better than us? You were just lucky! If us were the ones there we would have defeated the villains as well!" Someone in the crowd shouted. Making his way up the front.
" I don't wanna hear the rumblings of you losers, get out of my way!" Bakugo was getting more and more pissed.
"Look at that, is the class 1a now full of arrogant people?" Another one, a blond this time tried to put gasoline in the sprouting fire.
The students in the class was confused, how this escalated so quickly, one moment they were fine and on the other their classmate was about to fight with a crowd of other students.
" Calm down, there's no reason to start a conflict, we are all UA students." Lida started to try to deescalate the brewing conflict, pulling the fuming Bakugo from the angry mob.
' Way to go Lida!' Some of his classmates cheered for him in theirs mind.
" Huh, it's true. We are all students of UA, because of this, when we beat you'all in the sports festival we are going to become the new 1a." A kid with purple hair said seriously. He had dark shade under his eyes and looked to not have a good night of sleep in a while.
" I'm declaring war on all of you of the heroics department! I will become a hero as well." He said finally with resolve.
At this moment Sekizan had enough and began to get up from his table at the back of the class.
' Ahh shit.' some thought that the conflict was about to escalate.
Sekizan walked with measure steps to the door, and stoped just in front of the purple haired guy, towering over him with his hands into his pockets.
" Heh, I already heard enough of you guys bullshit." He said with a calm but somewhat irritated tone.
"Declaring war? Why don't you go and train in the place of wasting all of our time in here? Huh!!" He said with a grin, he was looking at the crowd like a predator looked at his prey.
" Now get the hell out of the front of my class, I will not speak a second time." He said more silently this time, but all people heard it, they knew that he was not bluffing in his words.
The crowd began to disappear in droves, until just the purple haired youth was standing in front of the tall teen trying to look courageous.
"Heh, not so brave without a crowd at your back huh?" Sekizan asked playfully to the now lonesome purple haired kid. He respected at least his bravery to look him in the eyes all this time.
"Hm" the kid turned around after looking at Sekizan eyes once more, and proceeded to go away with steady steps.
The class was surprised that their ginger classmate managed to resolve the conflict with just words, they thought that his presence will just serve to escalate the amount of resistance the mob dished out.
' I guess you should not judge a book by his cover .' Lida thought as he ajusted his glasses.
' Ohh so manly! just speaking words he made all of them leave.' Kirishima had sparkling eyes observing his crimson haired classmate.
" Alright folks, I'm gonna go see the principal now." Sekizan decided after resolving the mess. He was curious to see what Nezu wanted from him.
" Hum, bastard." Bakugo said quietly and left the class first as the ginger returned to his desk to get his bag.
' What's gotten to him.' Sekizan thought, confused. He doesn't remember starting conflict with the boom boom boy.
' Well, whatever.' He forgot about it as he walked out of the class.
___(interlude)___
Sekizan was in front of the principal office. He knocked on the door two times, waiting for a response.
" You can enter."Nezu responded from the other side.
Sekizan opened the door and entered the office. His eyes scanned the place in a habitual way looking for strategic places or blindspots for him to use in a emergency situation. This was almost a reflex at this point in his life.
" You can have a seat, you can drink tea as well, grab a cup If you so wish." Nezu said with a calm tone. He was seated with a cup of tea in hands drinking sips occasionally.
Sekizan seated and poured himself a cup as well, smelling the tea to ascertain the safety of consumption with his olfactory sense. Once again a habit he developed after years of training.
This small things did not scaped the eyes of the cunning rat/dog/bear. He, having a quirk specialized in intellectual prowess was able to analyze the movements of the tall ginger.
The silence was broken by the principal as he began to speak.
" Well, firstly I would like to thank you for your courage in protecting your classmates from danger in the most important moments." He began firstly trying to sing praises about Sekizan actions.
"Hm." The ginger on the other hand did not give much attention to such praise.
" But now that we passed such tribulations I would like to ask you about some of your actions in combat, the medical report came and there was a handful of villains who had their spine or limbs perforated and now had some type sequels, some of them will not walk again." Nezu commented as if in passing, not in a accusing tone.
" Based on the footage you could've defeat those villains easily and choose instead to incapacitate them in such manner. Why is that the case?" He finally asked, looking up in the red eyes of the towering ginger.
Sekizan sipped his tea and closed his eyes for a second, as if to gather his thoughts, and began to speak.
" Hm, I did not want to waste my time on the weak villains as that monster was observing us from the side." He said simply as if the health of those villains did not have anything to do with him.
Nezu looked again to his student and saw what type of mentality he had, it seems that to him the people/villains that he fought did not weight on his conscious as they made their choice by crossing his path.
" Hm, on the other note it seem that you have developed an impressive way to fight in account of your quirk. Would you explain to me how are you doing what you're doing with just your mastery of martial arts?" Nezu asked, this was another topic he was curious.
The silence extended much more this time as Sekizan looked deeply in the eyes of the principal, the piercing red orbs were staring so deep that Nezu thought they were reading his mind.
" I would not." Sekizan answered simply.
"If that's all I would take my leave." He downed the last of his tea and got up to leave the office not looking back to Nezu again.
Nezu watched as the crimson haired youth left his office and was deep in thoughts.
' It would seems that he does not trust me enough to share with me his martial arts. It's curious that he shared with the recovery lady some, why would he do that? Politeness? He doesn't seen to appear to be a person who would do such a thing.' He thought.
Nezu continued to think about the puzzle that was Scarlatti Sekizan as he sipped his tea. Humming a tune as he drunk.
___(scene)___
Sekizan was walking to the entrance gate, he was going to go home to continue to train in preparation for the sports festival, there was some people who still could pose a problem for him if he did not take seriously.
At the gate he saw the other ginger of his class waiting for him and waving his hand.
"Sekizan! Let's go! It's time to train our asses of so that we kick some asses in the sports festival! Ha did you hear that? That's a rime! Hahaha!" Kirishima approached him and began spouting his usual nonsense with an upbeat attitude.
Sekizan found that his presence was fun to be around, and decided he would train this guy so that he could show his value in the festival.
" Heh, don't go crying to your mother after you begin to train." He said to the shorter ginger.
" What!? No way, I will show you my manliness as well!" They continued to bicker as they walked, it was a week until the sports festival, they will put in the work to show the world what they were capable of.
