Nope, no need for waiting it seems. You crash into and bounce off the newest arrival, feeling like you just marched right into a lightpost. And just like that, losing your meager balance was inevitable. Thank god for your thick skull, because back down you go… and the impact never arrives?
>"You okay, man?" Kirishima says, firmly holding you up by the shoulders and helping you to get your feet back under you. "It'd be a bad omen for the break to trip and fall now!"
"Yeah, thanks sugah! Good reflexes…" You respond while scratching the back of your neck with a sense of deja vu. Kirishima gives you a pointy grin at that.
>"What's with the quirk use just then, huh?" Mina asks from behind him, taking a couple steps closer to come stand between you. "I know you did! You get notably spikier when you do it. What were you trying to accomplish sneaking up on Ushi like that with your quirk? Hmmm~?"
The boy just raises his hands as his grin quickly flips, ready to plead his innocence. You don't need to hear his arguments to trust his good intentions though. With his wide, if sharp, smile ready to encourage anyone to go the distance, Kirishima is one of the few people you've seen get along with every single one of your classmates. It's honestly impressive. But watching Mina mess with people is equally entertaining, so you don't step in.
>"Hey now, I've been training with my quirk to harden when surprised, and I wasn't expecting Walker to just walk into me, so…surprise, heh" He explains, shrugging. "Besides, I don’t sneak up on people. It’s not manly. Walker was sort of, well, in the way, you know? I was just eager to ask Yaoyorozu if I could check my final rank… Maybe the final wasn’t that bad?"
>"...Right. Our grades. Thanks for reminding me" Mina groans and immediately forgets about teasing the boy any longer.
After bumping into him, you couldn’t ignore that the red haired boy smells of sweat and deodorant, as if he had been too busy to take a proper shower this morning. Yet somehow, Mina was so much worse now. The moment Kirishima mentioned their grades, if your prickling nose isn't misleading you, she started sweating bullets akin to very diluted battery acid.
