Kosuke woke up early the next morning, filled with vigor for his upcoming training session. He was also determined to meet All Might later. He still had many questions for the number one hero. He still wanted to learn more details about the hero, his quirk, and perhaps even get some insight on his strange dreams. Though, he wouldn't be able to do it directly considering the circumstances, it would need to be in a more roundabout way. Either way, he was going to be very busy.
As Kosuke made his way to the bus station, he couldn't help but notice the overwhelming coverage of the USJ attack in the media. Images of his fellow students and glimpses of the USJ appeared on the news. The attack had earned the moniker "The USJ Incident." by reporters.
Approaching the station, he caught snippets of conversations from people discussing the attack, their murmurs blending into the background noise. People exchanged thoughts and concerns, their voices hushed, yet filled with curiosity and worry. The impact of the USJ incident was being felt not only within the hero community but also among the general public.
"I hope the Sports Festival isn't canceled because of the attack..." He thought as he stepped into the station.
The TV's in the building continued blaring news as Kosuke patiently waited for his bus to arrive. Since he was wearing his UA uniform, people began glancing his way, their faces full of worry.
Kosuke wasted no time boarding, seeking solace from the sympathetic gazes that seemed to linger around him. Eager to put some distance between himself and the pitying looks, he found a seat in the back corner and situated himself peacefully by the window, looking out into the morning sky.
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he pulled out his phone and composed a text message, reminding everyone of the designated meeting place for their upcoming training session. However, he made an exception for Shoto, opting to discuss the matter in person due to his old friend's apparent busyness. He hadn't answered any of Kosuke's texts.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were interrupted by more murmurs and hushed whispers him and UA. People looking over to him and some even pointing. Thankfully it wasn't long before the bus pulled into the Musutafu bus station. Despite being seated in the back, Kosuke was one of the first to get off.
"All these prying eyes... don't people know it's not comfortable to be stared at." He sighed internally, remembering the fellow passengers that continuously cast glances at the boy.
Once Kosuke entered his homeroom, he noticed how excitable the class was to be back.
However, he saw that Shoto seemed to be distracted. His eyes were a bit colder than usual, and his overall demeanor was sour. It made him curious.
"Good morning, Shoto." Kosuke greets as he sits in his seat.
Shoto remained quiet, not paying him any attention as he leaned into his intertwined hands, lost in thought.
"I wonder if something happened during our time off?"
Before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, Kirishima interrupted, snapping him back to the present as he leaned over with a sharp smile, resting a hand on Kosuke's desk.
"Mornin'!" He leans in, talking quieter, "I'm gonna try to convince Bakubro again to join us around lunchtime. My first try didn't work." He sweatdrops before growing a determined expression, "But I won't give up! I'll try again today, so wish me luck, yeah?"
"I figured he'd refuse, but I may have something that could help enhance your argument. If you'll hear my idea." He says enticingly.
Kosuke smirks as he whispers to Kirishima how to talk to the ashed blonde, describing everything he thought of the night before.
