POV Izuku Midoriya

I had taken a very good look at every picture mister Aizawa showed us. Every location, every face. It was all scanned into my brain. I was paying so much attention to the meeting, but even so, that boy was still wandering through my head. I glanced at him every now and then, to try and remember where I knew him from.

"For now, all we need you students to do is to keep an eye on these people. If you even get the idea you see them somewhere, or if you even think you hear the names somewhere, don't hesitate to tell one of us. The rest can be left over to the pro-heroes for now", Ectoplasm stated.

I bit my lip and stayed quiet. I could nod. I could make some sound that implied I understood every word that had been said, because I did. But I stayed quiet. At a certain moment I heard soft sobbing. And I noticed everyone's gazes were turned to one person. So I followed their gazes.

"Uraraka..". That's all that I could say. Really softly. Almost broken by the sight of her breaking down. She was bended over a little, still sitting on her chair. She covered her eyes with her hands, but the tears seemed to flow straight through them. Everyone, even the teachers, were looking at her. That's what made me stand up.

"I think it's better if.. we leave the room for now..", I said carefully, implying that we should leave Uraraka with the teachers for a moment.

No one said anything, but they did stand up and made their way to the door. I cracked a little smile through my concern and looked at Uraraka for another moment before I left the room as well. I closed the door behind me and took a deep sigh as I closed my eyes.

"Trying to play the hero again Deku?".

Kacchan. Of course. I could have expected it. I opened my eyes a little worried about what he would attack me for this time, and I swallowed.

"Uh n-no! I-I wasn't trying to do anything!", I quickly said, waving my hands in front of me. It didn't stop Kacchan from coming closer though. He had the same angry look on his face that he always had.

"Stop pretending to be something your not nerd! You're disgracing the hero title", he growled annoyed.

I swallowed again and looked down, so I wouldn't have to look at him, and I clenched my jaws. I didn't say anything back. I just looked down, defeated by his words, as always.
Until Todoroki walked over to us and tried to push Kacchan away from me.

"Why don't you try to not make a problem out of everything he does", he spat back at Kacchan, looking him dead in the eyes.

As soon as Kacchan opened his mouth to object to Todoroki's words, Todoroki spoke again.

"Shut up! We have more to think of now than just the small useless things that annoy no one but you!".

Everyone became quiet, including Kacchan. Todoroki still looked at him for about ten seconds to be sure that Kacchan would really stop and then leaned agains the wall, sighing.

"Todoroki is right", Nejire said softly.
"We shouldn't fight over minor things now that we have these other problems to think about".

I saw a few people nodding and I managed to bring up the courage to look up at Kacchan with only my eyes. He didn't look back so I slowly moved away from him and also leaned against the wall, across from Todoroki.
I could see the door of the room from where I stood, and it seemed like that was the only thing I could see.

What was going on behind it? Why was Uraraka crying all of a sudden? Could she have seen something? I didn't know. And the fact that I didn't know was killing me. It was killing me until the door opened, which felt like an eternity..
