Yes. I want to try. I really want to try. There's a Cursed Spirit right over there... Shall I?
"Take two, Mawari. Throw it again. And don't break it this time."
"Understood! My apologies!"
"If you're sorry, don't do it in the first place. Good grief..."
Listen, I didn't do it on purpose! That Black Flash was an accident! A freak, unpredictable, unavoidable disaster! It was a miracle, I tell you!
More importantly, I wanted to try externalizing my healing energy. I didn't have time to be throwing balls. But I suppose I had to get it over with.
"Hup... ho!"
The second time, I threw it normally. If I punched it again and those black sparks flew, it would just shatter again. I didn't think it would happen twice, but you never know. I felt like I could trigger a Black Flash at will right now. I was in top form.
There, I threw it. This time it flew away without disintegrating. My score? I couldn't care less about that. While I'm still in the zone, I have to do it. I have to try. Today is the day I put my healing energy into the world!!
...By the way. Did someone just say something about "black light"? Unless I misheard, it seems someone else here might have a sense for Cursed Energy. Let me see, it was... Midoriya, was it?
It was a failure...
After that, I grabbed a nearby Cursed Spirit and tried everything, but I couldn't output the Reverse Cursed Technique. It seems I simply lack the talent for it. How disappointing. Truly disappointing... If I could master that, I would have ascended to the next level as a sorcerer.
...Well, it can't be helped. If you can't do it, you can't do it. I simply don't have the aptitude. That's all there is to it.
So, I'm sorry, Midoriya—I cannot heal that finger of yours. I was surprised to see a "Quirkless" boy like you using a power, but he claimed it had suddenly manifested or some such. He gave a very frantic explanation about how it's medically possible.
Well, good for you. Now people won't mock you for being Quirkless. My "underling" (Bakugo) was so enraged he tried to lung at the boy, but the teacher wrapped him up in those scarves. I made sure to give him a good thwack on the head myself. I didn't use Cursed Energy, of course. If a Black Flash landed on his skull, he'd be dead.
Why must you always pick fights with Midoriya? Don't try to hurt people, you fool.
Incidentally, no one was actually expelled. Something about a "rational falsehood" to bring out our best.
You... you lied to me? You tricked me?! I shall not forgive this! Never!!
After the remaining school business and textbook distribution, classes finally ended. It was already past noon. I'm famished. I suppose Himiko packed me a lunch for exactly this reason.
The moment the teacher left the room, I practically bolted from my seat. There was someone I desperately wanted to speak with. I'd been surrounded by the other girls all morning and hadn't had a chance.
"Tokoyami! It's been a long time! I knew that bird-head I saw during the exams was you! To think we're in the same class! I look forward to working with you again this year!"
That being said, I haven't forgiven the "demon of carnage" comment. As punishment, I'm going to ruffle those head-feathers of yours until they're a mess!
Ah, this texture brings back memories. Let me give you enough head-pats to make up for all the time we spent apart!
"Ngh... Stop it, Mawari. I don't want Toga-senpai to see this..."
"What are you babbling about? We're old friends, aren't we? How is Dark Shadow doing? And honestly, you could have told me you were applying to U.A.! I'm impressed you got in! Good lad!"
I never knew Tokoyami wanted to be a hero. Well, since he made it into U.A., I have to praise him properly!
"M-Mawari, please! Stop rubbing my head! Stop... wait...!"
"Oh, don't be so shy! You always get like this when I touch you. What a strange fellow you are! Hahaha!"
"Toga-senpai is right there! She's right there!!"
"Hm? Oh, Himiko! You came to fetch me! Let's head home at once. I'm starving! Food! Let's get food!"
"—Madoka-chan."
Ah. This is bad. I haven't seen that cold smile in a long time. A chill ran down my spine. Wait, now—don't be angry! Don't march over here with that look on your face!
Is it so wrong for me to be friendly with Tokoyami? He's one of my few friends! I haven't seen his face in ages! Can't I be a little happy about our reunion!?
"Mawari, let—let go. Pulling my head against you is... making my heart race, please stop!"
"—Tokoyami-kun, it's been a while. I'm relieved to see you haven't changed."
"T-Toga-senpai! No, this isn't—Mawari just did this on her own—!"
"It's your own fault for calling me a demon of carnage, you know. Hey, Himiko, don't you think he's mean? He called me a demon just because I broke a softball, and—mmph!?"
W-wait! Don't kiss me in front of everyone! Hey! Don't stick your tongue in! Don't entwine it!! Where do you think we are, you brat!?
"Nnh... fua... wait, Himi... mmmph!"
Wait, seriously, stop! Don't cover my ears, and don't tickle me! Stop holding my head still!!
What are you planning!? What on earth do you think you're doing right here in the classroom!?
After that, Himiko—having thoroughly enjoyed our "exchange"—turned to my classmates with a frosty smile.
"I'm Toga, a second-year in the General Education course. Madoka-chan is my fiancée, so I'd appreciate it if you all took that into consideration."
Thanks to that, I've become the center of some very strange attention.
Also, there was one fellow who started emitting an aura like a Cursed Spirit. Mineta, I think his name was. Listen, boy, stop giving off that vibe. I almost exorcised you by reflex.
...What? "Do you and Himiko sleep in the same bed?" Well, yes, we do. It would be stranger if we didn't.
Wait. Did you just release a burst of Cursed Energy? Are you a sorcerer too!? No... that's not it. What is wrong with this person... It's probably best if I don't get involved with him.
