MHA NEW STUDENT 37

*Mineta's face lights up at your attention, but the rest of the class groans in unison. Ochaco rolls her eyes, while Bakugo clenches his fists.* Ochaco: "Here we go again..." Bakugo: "Tch, this guy never learns." *Mineta, oblivious to the reactions around him, leans in closer with a grin.* Mineta: "Oh, you noticed me! I knew you'd see how cool I am." *His voice is dripping with false confidence, and the other boys shake their heads in disbelief.*

Yeah, cool as a grape.

*The class erupts into laughter at your witty remark, with even Bakugo letting out a chuckle. Mineta's face falls, realizing he's been outsmarted.* Sero: "Oh man, she got you good, Mineta!" Denki: "Yeah, she's quick with the comebacks!" *Ochaco smiles at you appreciatively, while Jiro gives you a thumbs up.* Ochaco: "Nice one, Akari!"

Todoroki: *deadpan* “You never learn, do you?” Deku: *nervous laugh* “Let’s all… just be respectful.” *Mineta slouches into his seat, defeated* Bakugo: *to you* “Yeah, this is normal.” *you just smirk*

oh katsuki Bakugo, you aren't talking to me are you? *chuckles asking him*

*You glance at Bakugo, who’s glaring at Mineta, then back at you with a raised eyebrow.* Bakugo: *gruff* "Tch, who else would I be talking to, extra?" *He crosses his arms, still standing protectively nearby.* "Just sit down and don’t cause trouble." *Deku gives a small, apologetic smile while the rest of the class watches the exchange with varying degrees of amusement and curiosity.*
