Although Katsuki Bakugo and Todoroki Shoto had their eyes flashed as well, they had been prepared from the start and hadn't actually looked at Yang Xiao's fingertips. Denki Kaminari was proof enough.
Yaoyorozu Momo was completely fine, since she hadn't looked at Yang Xiao's fingers at all. Though she was curious about Yang Xiao's Quirk, she was smart. There was no way she'd suffer the same loss after Denki Kaminari already had.
Yang Xiao felt like he might have gone a little too far. He had controlled his Quirk, and the flash hadn't been especially intense. It shouldn't have blinded anyone, right?
Just then, several students passed by the entrance to Hero Class A. One of them curiously glanced inside and was immediately so frightened that he screamed.
"Holy crap, what happened to Class A?"
"Let me see, is something wrong?" Another person leaned over and saw a shocking sight through the crack in the door.
The students were all clawing around with their eyes shut, blindly groping everywhere. They looked just like zombies.
Zombies?
"We're screwed!" the student shouted. "Class A has been infected with a zombie virus! Hurry and tell the teachers!"
"Quick, let's get out of here. We need to notify our own class first." The few passing students turned and ran. This was freaking terrifying.
"Who touched me?!" Ashido Mina shouted angrily. She tried opening her eyes and found that she could see again. Minoru Mineta was behind her, his hands groping wildly.
"Bang!" Ashido Mina punched Minoru Mineta in the face. He was sent flying into the wall, blood streaming from his nose.
"It hurts..." Minoru Mineta began to cry. He had been groping around without even knowing what he had touched. It had been soft and round, and then he got punched.
Only after several minutes did everyone gradually recover from the effects of the intense light. Fortunately, no one was hurt, or Yang Xiao would really have been in trouble.
"Yang Xiao, your Quirk can cause massive damage when used unexpectedly. That's so cool!" Eijiro Kirishima said excitedly instead of getting angry.
Katsuki Bakugo was a little puzzled. If Yang Xiao's Quirk was only capable of this, then it would have been completely useless against mock enemies. He would have been instantly defeated.
Yet this guy had truly stood out and even entered Hero Class A. What that implied was probably something only Yang Xiao himself knew.
"What happened? Who got infected?" Present Mic shoved open Class A's door. Recovery Girl and several students from Hero Class B stood behind him.
But Present Mic found Hero Class A perfectly normal. He turned to look at the people behind him.
"Monoma Neito, were you messing with me?" Present Mic asked unhappily. This was obviously a prank. There was nothing wrong with Hero Class A.
Monoma Neito had been one of the students who passed Class A earlier. Hearing Present Mic's words, he immediately stepped forward a few paces. When he saw all the Class A students looking at him, he froze.
Weren't they all zombies just now?
How were they all fine after only a few minutes?
What the hell, were they playing me?
"Kosei Tsuburaba, were you seeing things? You even tricked me?" Monoma Neito turned to Kosei Tsuburaba behind him.
Kosei Tsuburaba said, "You saw it yourself earlier. How could I have tricked you?"
Damn it! Monoma Neito thought. There was no way to explain this away now. The teacher's definitely going to deal with me.
"Forget it. Since everything's fine, I'll head back first." Recovery Girl waved a hand and turned to leave. Present Mic was left standing there, staring at Monoma Neito. "Fun, wasn't it?"
"No, sir, listen to me." Monoma Neito still wanted to explain, but Present Mic cut him off. "You three, come to my office."
Only after Monoma Neito and the others left did Class A become noisy again. They were all baffled. What zombies?
"Who were those guys?"
"No idea."
"They seemed to be from Class B. I've seen them before."
Yang Xiao let out a sigh of relief. This matter was finally over. And in the eyes of the Class A students, his Quirk was something that could be used for sneak attacks, but it had no destructive power.
In other words, if Yang Xiao encountered someone who could counter his Quirk, he would be in serious trouble. At the very least, a light-emitting Quirk held no advantage in a fight.
Its only advantage was the light itself—an unintentional flash attack.
After school, Yang Xiao ate a bowl of noodles at Fat Bro's Ramen before heading to the Problem Solver to report in. It was already dark, though it wasn't yet time to handle business in the core area. Toga Himiko was also in the Problem Solver, leisurely playing on her phone.
"Yang Xiao, I kind of want some juice." Toga Himiko turned to look at Yang Xiao, who was sitting in a chair spacing out.
Yang Xiao had been thinking about what happened at school today and had drifted off for a moment. Now that Toga Himiko said she wanted a drink, he stood up to buy one.
"Don't go. Let's get to work early today. There are a lot of documents to sort through. Yang Xiao, close the rolling shutter and come in." After calling out, Wu Shiyin entered the inner room.
Toga Himiko was a little unhappy. Without her drink, it was as though all the color had drained from her life.
"Come on. Let's finish the work first." Yang Xiao spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it either.
After the two entered the Problem Solver's core hub, Kagura, Shinpachi Shimura, and Tae Shimura were already there. They smiled when they saw Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko arrive. Shinpachi Shimura grinned and said, "Hurry up. These documents were meant for you two to organize anyway. Get to it."
Yang Xiao had no particular objection. He walked over and began learning how to organize the documents. Toga Himiko, however, said angrily, "I want juice!"
Her voice was a little loud, and everyone looked at Toga Himiko. Wu Shiyin smacked his lips and asked, "Do you really have to drink juice?"
"I have to!" Toga Himiko was especially stubborn right now. They wanted her to work without giving her something sweet first? No way.
"Shinpachi, take her and let her drink her fill." Wu Shiyin waved a hand. The Problem Solver was far from simple. It had emergency rations and various necessities.
Shinpachi Shimura shrugged and walked over to Toga Himiko. "Come on, I'll take you to get some juice."
Only then did Toga Himiko smile, following Shinpachi Shimura into another room. More than ten seconds later, a startled cry and excited sounds came from inside.
Before Toga Himiko stood an enormous refrigerator. Forget juice—there wasn't even any duplicate type of alcohol inside. There had to be at least several hundred bottles!
What exactly was going on with this Problem Solver? Could they normally throw parties here?
"Take whatever you want, but you can only take one bottle." Shinpachi Shimura said proudly, then went to sit at the side. This room was specifically for entertainment, and it had every facility imaginable.
Though the core hub was only a little over a hundred square meters, the other rooms contained a whole different world. This entertainment room alone was over a hundred square meters, with pool tables, ping-pong tables, game consoles, and everything else. It was practically a small club.
