"Seriously?!" Kaminari spoke in disbelief. "Do you even remember what he's capable of?!"

Midoriya swallowed the lump in his throat as he recalled watching Kumagawa drive a screw through his skull, but after a moment he nodded. "Yes, I do... But think about it; has he ever harmed any of us in such a way?"

The group looked amongst each other, slowly coming to a realization.

"Even when he was set to fight Todoroki-san, he never utilized his screws to harm him. He has only ever used punches or kicks, and weak ones at that."

"But, what about the villains at USJ?"

"... Even though he had 'killed' the villains during the attack, he said it was because they were trying to kill all of us. And in the end he undid all the damage." Uraraka answered.

"That still doesn't change the fact that he killed them."

"Listen, the guy may be a bit extreme, but not once has he done anything 'evil'." Kirishima opined. "I say we go with him." he then put his hand in the center of the group. "Who else is coming?"

After a moment, Midoriya and Uraraka added their hands to the mix.

Jirou let out a sigh as she put her hand in as well. "I'm probably gonna regret this."

"I suppose there's no harm in hanging out with him. It's not like we're gonna fight or anything." Ashido reasoned as she put her hand in.

"What about you Kaminari?"

The blonde ran his hand through his hair in aggravation, but eventually relented. "It'd look bad if I was the odd man out." and he added his hand in.

[Alright! Let's do this!]

The students were startled as another hand was put in. Unbeknownst to them, Kumagawa had snuck his way into the circle sometime during their discussion.

"H-how long have you been here?!" asked a spooked Kaminari.

The smiling teen wagged his finger. [Sorry, but a true magician never reveals his secrets.]

'What part of that was magic?' was the collective thought.

[Now, onward to the karaoke bar! My friends are there waiting for us!] he said as he dramatically pointed in the direction of the bar.

"Wait, friends? You mean there are other people joining us?" asked a nervous Kaminari.

[Oh, don't worry. They don't bite or anything. Well, most of them. My girlfriend is the only one who does, but she only does that to me.]

Not knowing exactly how to interpret that, the students chose to ignore it altogether.

After a few minutes of walking, the group arrived at a rather popular karaoke bar off of main street. It was rather flashy in order to stand out, and was designed to cater parties of up to twenty people in a single room. After Kumagawa explained to the man at the front desk that he had a reservation, he handed the teen his pass and directed him down the hall.

Right before Kumagawa opened the door to the room, he stopped and briefly turned to the rest of the gang.

[Just a heads up; my girlfriend can be a little eccentric. She is rather straightforward about showing her affection for me, so don't be alarmed by what you see.]

The teens nodded in understanding. How bad could it be?

[Hey everyone, I'm her-]

"Misogi-kun~!"

The UA students could only gasp in shock as a bubbly girl with somewhat messy pale-blonde hair that was tied into two buns, immediately jumped at Kumagawa... And proceeded to stab the side of his head with a fork.
