Chapter 124 - Class reunion (1/2)

”I'm so excited!!”

”Hagakure, aren't you cold?”

Walking with the rest of Class 1A through one of UA's training grounds, Aiden and his peers were dressed in the Winter versions of their hero costumes.

”Hey hey!! What do you think of my winter specs?” Mina caught up to him and asked.

Looking at her up and down, Aiden complimented the outfit by giving her a thumbs up.

”Haha! It totally rocks right?”

”Yeah.”

”Hey Aiden.” Momo suddenly called and walked up to his left side.

”Hey Momo.” He smiled wryly.

'Oh fuċk! I totally forgot that I was meant to spend time with her during the cultural festival!'

After having Ryuko break the news about her pregnancy, he completely forgot about everything else.

”What do you think about my winter costume? Very memorable isn't it?” She smiled.

”...Yeah...” He was sure that that 'Very Memorable' line was a jab at him. And if he was being completely honest, her winter costume wasn't that amazing. The only change he could really see was the fact that she was now wearing a cape for some unexplained reason.

Speaking of costumes, he had his altered slightly. He kept the same aesthetic but had added in a hood and removed the mask. The reason for this was because he realized that his hair would push against the top of his mask if he was in the astral state. He also padded the outfit out a bit to protect against the cold.

Walking with a weirdly smiley Momo on his left and an excitable Mina on his right, he wondered what he did to deserve this.

Looking at the rest of his classmates, he saw that they had also changed their outfit's appearances to some degree. Though he had to admit the best looking hero costume now went to Bakugo.

Lamenting at the fact that Bakugo actually had a good sense of fashion, he and the rest of class 1A saw class 1B approaching.

”Oho, well if it isn't the infamous class 1A?” And there was Monoma. ”Fufufu, its a shame though.” He suddenly started laughing.

”The wave of momentum you guys previously had will now be ours!” He then proceeded to pull out a questionnaire form from out of nowhere and went on a tirade about how their play received 2 more votes over class 1A's concert.

Ignoring his blatant inferiority complex, Aiden eyes accidentally met with Kendo's.

”Kendo.” He nodded.

”Aiden.” She looked back at him with fire in her eyes.

”Today I'll prove to you that I'm worthy of being your friend.” She spoke with a hardened resolve. It was actually kind of weird how much she wanted his approval.

*Sigh* ”Its not about you being worthy or not.”

”Eh? Then why'd you reject me?”

”Because I don't want to be your friend.” Aiden didn't mean it in a cruel way, its just that his current friends (Mina) were already tiring enough. He really didn't want to add more on top of that.
