Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
Despite the existence of quirks, I knew that, throughout this life, there would be days when I would have to deal with situations that would escape my understanding. You know what I mean, right? Surreal moments without an apparent sense that lack a reasonable explanation and coherence is conspicuous by its absence...
                          
Well, today was one of those days.
                          
"Uh... Is this for real?"
                          
I swear I didn't expect to have Katsuki's friends kneeled down in front of me at the entrance of the school gate and even less that they would be apologizing because of what they've said before in the break time as if their life depended on it.
                          
I had to blink twice to be sure this was actually happening.
                          
"P-PLEASE, FORGIVE US!!"
                          
"WE BEG YOU, (L/N)!!"
                          
'What the fuck...'
                          
The burns on their bodies, their messy clothes, the fear in their faces, their desperation... Those were enough hints for me to know that they didn't come on their own.
                          
"WE DIDN'T MEAN IT, I SWEAR!!"
                          
"WE DON'T THINK YOU'RE A LOSER AT AL-!! —*SMACK*— H-Hey! But why you hit me now, man!?"
                          
"DON'T YOU DARE TO PRONOUNCE THAT WORD AGAIN, YOU JERK!!"
                          
'But what the hell did you do, Katsuki...' I facepalmed.
                          
Those boys were crying in front of me, but most importantly, in front of everyone. They didn't care about the innumerable facial gestures I was doing to make them understand that they should stop and stand up already.
                          
Just imagine the scene they were making.
                          
'This is getting embarrassing...' I thought after noticing how we were catching so many people's attention.
                          
Their eyes on us were seriously killing me.
                          
But who could tell that this was what Katsuki was going to do after I told him what they've done? Even though I saw the explosions he made while he was leaving, I didn't expect that he would go this far in the slightest. However, the only thing that mattered to me now was making them stop embarrass themselves because they were making me cringe too much, too.
                          
"H-Hey, listen."
                          
"YES, MISS (L/N)!?" They shouted at the unison, taking me by surprise.
                          
"IS THERE SOMETHING THESE POOR WRETCHES CAN DO FOR YOU!?"
                          
My eyes widened at the moment I heard the way they were talking to me now. 'What the hell is going on in their heads!?' I said to myself. 'You can also brainwash people, Katsuki!?'
                          
"Oh, my God! I don't want anything from you!" I exclaimed. "Just stand up already!"
                          
The boys didn't wait any more seconds and did as I said, as if it were some kind of command of their superior. Unexpectedly, they quickly extended their arms and reached both of my hands, now with expressions full of happiness and joy.
                          
"TH-THAT MEANS WE'RE FORGIVEN, MY LADY!?" Asked one.
                          
'M-My lady!?'
                          
"WE PROMISE THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!"
                          
The murmur of the people was quite audible now, and I couldn't help but turn my head from side to side, scared to know the high number of persons who could be witnessing the drama soap that these two were making, me as the main character.
                          
"Yes! Yes! I forgive you! Whatever you want so I can leave!" I responded after trying to release my hands from theirs.
                          
Their expressions lightened up even more if it were possible. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH, (L/N)!!"
