Well, you tried.
"...Would you mind backtracking a bit, sugah? Ah'd like to start over." You ask, crouching to look at him at his level, if only for a moment. "Like, with some literal backtrackin', too."
>"Uh, sure?" He answers, sounding a bit confused while moving back towards the door.
You stand back up and walk closer to him.
"A bit more?" You ask, waving him away with your hand.
The confusion on his face grew but he obliged, walking backwards out of the classroom and into the hall.
"Just like that, thanks!" You nod, walking up to the open sliding door.
>"Hey Walker!" Mineta greets you again from the hallway.
"<<span class="mu-s">Fuck off.</span>>" You growl without dropping your smile, then cheerfully slam the door on his face before heading toward your seat. It won't help make him a better person, but it does help with your mood.
>"HEY! What did I do?" You hear him whine outside as you pass by Bakugo at the front of your row. Despite his tiredness, the blond boy’s shoulders twitch back and forth from a well-suppressed snicker, adding to your catharsis. Being the source of his smirk rather than being on the receiving end of one was much more fun.
Just as you plop yourself down on your seat, Mr. Aizawa slides the door open, marking the start of Homeroom.
>"You’re late Mineta, get to your seat, we are about to begin." The bedraggled hero says as he calmly walks towards his own desk at the front of the class. While he never looks particularly tidy, it's not hard to see him looking worse than usual. "I'll assume everyone has already checked their grades, and anyone who hasn't will have time to do so before we head towards the auditorium for the end of term ceremony, so I won't address it now."
Aizawa stands before the lectern before producing a sheet of printed paper and holds it at arm's reach.You think it may be a copy of the camping guide you all received last week.
>"It should go without saying that what happened this weekend are the latest additions of a growing list of events that shouldn't have been allowed to happen. I'd say not to worry, and that the school, all heroes in the faculty, as well as a large number beyond our grounds are on the lookout for these villains…" He says, sighing and wiping his greasy hair away from his face. "But I won't insult your intelligence. We are looking into this issue and taking measures, but your worry would be more than understandable. A logical response."
While his words aren't exactly reassuring, the bluntness of them do make you feel better by respecting you enough to not sugarcoat it at all. So at least it sounds like whatever the school is doing is serious. And <span class="mu-i">that</span> is reassuring.
