" You know, Viktor, I've always wondered how can you not feel any hate towards them. "

This morning, the students from class-A were going to meet their teacher, one in particular.
The excitation could be read on their faces, as the sun was shining up in the spring sky.

Some students were already forming groups, varying personalities and appearances. The friendships got rapidly created, but the shyest and reserved rested on their side. It was the case of Dust.

Dust wasn't someone really sociable, whether it was because of his shyness and his anxiety, or just because he didn't want to talk. In fact, he was also scared of the consequences. What consequences ? We'll see that later, it won't last.

The class had barely filled up when the bell rang and a sudden sound of a door was heard.

" I AM HERE ! ENTERING FROM THE BACK DOOR! "

Some students jumped, others thought they would die, but it didn't last. Seeing the person who had just entered, faces lit up.

"ALL MIGHT!"
The number 1 then entered the room and stood in front of the board to speak to the students. He told the students to go to the locker room, it was their chance to put on their hero outfits, finally here. The people in the room rushed towards them to finally put on their outfits, their impatience finally being fueled.
Each hero seed put on their costume and headed out to the field. They were all more beautiful than each other. Everyone's silhouette was outlined by their clothes, this was an embarrassment for some girls, and for some boys an honor.
All Might then began to explain what today's lesson would consist of.
"Dear students, today we are going to do a hero vs. villains. The villains have placed a bomb in a building. The heroes' goal is to stop the bomb by touching it, avoid destroying half of the building and losing your time to fight. You will have 20 minutes, if the 20 minutes are up, the bad guys will have won.
Well, to form the teams and choose who will be against whom, I will draw lots. "
It was then on his words that the draw was made.
The students were placed in teams, two by two.


By chance, Dust was with his best friend : Andreas.
Andréas and Dust had known each other since 6th grade. Andréas was a fairly extroverted, kind and serious girl. She is a good student and works hard to maintain her status, but she knows how to laugh and have fun. She takes care of her friends and loved ones, doing everything possible to keep them well and out of trouble.

Dust and Andreas were very close, and each knew everything about the other's life. They know their demons and did everything to keep them away together.

The class was finally about to begin. The teams passed together until Dust and Andreas' turn. Their role was that of villains, and had to protect the bomb from two other students. Together, they thought of a plan.

"Let's hide there, when they come in, I can use my gas to fill the room. You can get out so you don't breathe it.

— Okay, let's do this! Said Andreas with a determined smile. "

They hid in different parts of the room and waited for their two opponents to arrive.

They didn't have to wait long before a crash was heard. A boy with blond, pointy hair arrived with an angry and determined face at the same time.Dust got up and hurried to use his smoke, but the blond arrived faster than him. He had time to dodge an explosion and backed away a little.As the fight began, a new person quickly entered the room, visibly panicked. It was a person with an imposing build, short indigo hair and glasses.

"Bakugo! You should have waited for me! What an idea to rush into the crowd without thinking!
— Shut up, extra! "


While the two individuals were arguing, Dust and Andreas decided to take advantage of it. Dust placed himself in a corner of the room to create his gas, and Andreas left discreetly.But she wasn't discreet enough for the mad dog's eyes. He reached her level and attacked her with a great explosion.Luckily for her, she did it quickly enough and gave Dust time to finish creating his gas.


Behind Dust were two gas wolves with a pinkish tint, he was just waiting for the right moment to decompose them and thus fill the room with his gas.

" What is that ?!
— What will beat you. Dust replied, smiling under his mask. "

The wolves rushed towards the two boys, while the one with glasses rushed towards Dust. But it was too late, the gas being inhaled, the two boys fell to the ground falling asleep peacefully.Dust slowly approached before crouching in front of them, while the gas evaporated.Shortly after, Andreas returned.

"Already? That was quick.
— Mmh. . . Effectively. Dust replied as he got up, still staring at the two sleeping boys.
— We should go, we won after all.
— I follow you. "
Dust put his hands in his pockets as he looked up at Andreas. She was already starting to leave, and Dust followed her calmly.On the way, they talked.

" I expected more difficulty, these two really didn't think it through.

— I confirm. . . Afterward, I didn't do much myself. She let out a sigh.

— But yes, you did ! You created a diversion, me neither, I didn't do much otherwise. Dust took off his mask and smiled kindly to reassure her.

— Thanks. . . She smiled back at him. "

The day then ended on a happy note. The two friends had successfully completed their work and left for home once classes were over.
However, when returning home. . .
