A Brief Exchange with Shoto Todoroki

"Excuse me, what is this 'safety defense' thing?" Tenya Iida grabbed someone who was about to run away and asked.

"It means someone has infiltrated the school building. This is the first time this has happened in three years. You should hurry and evacuate too." After saying that, the person ran off.

"Let's go too." Tenya Iida stood up and ran towards the exit. Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka also stood up and started running away.

In this situation, everyone was basically panicking. This was an emergency, and no one knew what would happen next, nor did they know who had broken into the school.

Tenya Iida and the other two thought Yang Xiao would follow them, but instead, Yang Xiao lay down on his seat to rest.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you going to run?" Someone passing by Yang Xiao was startled. At a time like this, someone was actually lying there resting. How courageous must they be?

"What's the rush? Even if something really happened, do you think you could escape? You're too naive," Yang Xiao said, waving his hand.

"You're crazy!" The person cursed at Yang Xiao and ran away. Although many people were crowding ahead, at least they were trying to escape, which gave them a chance. Otherwise, they would be like that idiot, just waiting to die.

"You're quite calm. Shall we chat then?"

Just as Yang Xiao was about to take a nap, a voice rang out. He opened his eyes and saw it was Shoto Todoroki.

Yang Xiao sat up and asked Todoroki, who had also sat down, "Classmate Todoroki, aren't you running with them?"

Todoroki smiled faintly. "There's only one path, and so many people are crowding it. Although I could find another way to get through, I don't think it's necessary. It's just as you said, if something really happens, running is futile. It's better to calm down and observe first."

In the anime, Yang Xiao had a very high opinion of Todoroki. As expected, even in this real world, Todoroki was still so calm. He was an excellent person.

"Is there anything for us to talk about? I'm just an ordinary student, I can't compare to a recommended student like you," Yang Xiao said, spreading his hands.

Todoroki looked at Yang Xiao, unable to detect any humility in Yang Xiao's tone. It felt more like a meaningful provocation?

But regardless of whether it was a provocation or not, he found this person very interesting.

"I don't think there's much difference between recommended students and those who got in through exams. In my eyes, they're all the same. However, the difference in strength is irreconcilable," Todoroki said meaningfully as he looked at Yang Xiao. "You're the type of person who looks ordinary but is very strong."

"Just because I fought you once, you think that?" Yang Xiao pretended to be confused and looked at Todoroki.

"Something like that. However, our brief fight doesn't count for much. You should know that it takes some time or significant exertion for a Quirk to fatigue. What we had was at most just playing around." Todoroki actually wanted to fight Yang Xiao again, but school rules prohibited students from fighting privately, especially not at school.

Of course, it was even more impossible outside of school. If their Quirk usage was seen, they would be taken away by the police department.

"I just want to live each day peacefully. My abilities are limited, and what you've seen is all my strength. So I'm not as strong as you, please stop targeting me," Yang Xiao said, spreading his hands.

From within the hair covering his face, Todoroki's eyes looked at Yang Xiao. "We'll have our chance. Keep up the good work, and don't disappoint me then."

After saying that, Todoroki left, but he didn't head towards the crowded areas.

Yang Xiao was a bit annoyed. Why were Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki coming after him? He hadn't done anything.

"Ow, what's happening all of a sudden!" Ochaco Uraraka was being pushed around by the crowd.

"As expected of the peak, their crisis response is so swift," Tenya Iida couldn't resist commenting even now.

"Too... too swift, it's causing panic," Izuku Midoriya was being squeezed so hard he felt like he was turning into a pancake in this situation.

Tenya Iida finally squeezed his way to the glass window. "Who exactly infiltrated the school?"

He thought it was some mischievous criminals who had broken into the school, but when Tenya Iida looked closely, it was actually a group of reporters.

"I thought something serious had happened, but it's just the media," Tenya Iida shouted loudly after understanding the truth. "Everyone... calm down, ow!"

"This won't do. Where are the teachers? Are they dealing with those people?" Tenya Iida's face was pressed directly against the glass. "Is there anyone else here who knows that nothing major has happened? Everyone is just panicking for no reason."

Actually, there were a few people who knew the truth, and Yang Xiao was one of them. But he didn't want to disrupt the original plot, so he remained still.

Then he let Tenya Iida resolve this matter himself.

"Ah!" Ochaco Uraraka suddenly cried out.

Seeing this, Tenya Iida struggled to walk towards her, wanting to help her.

Unfortunately, the crowd was too dense, and they couldn't reach each other's hands before being squeezed apart.

"If it were Midoriya... or my brother... at a time like this..." Tenya Iida suddenly thought of something. He looked at Ochaco Uraraka, who had been pushed away, and shouted, "Classmate Uraraka!"

"Quick, make me float! Classmate Uraraka." Tenya Iida extended a hand again. Although Ochaco Uraraka didn't understand what Tenya Iida was trying to do, she still reached out a hand.

In such a crowded situation, they finally touched hands. Tenya Iida leaped forward and floated up. He saw the words "Safety Exit" directly in front of him and gritted his teeth. "Engines, engage!"

"Bang~"

Tenya Iida spun rapidly forward in zero gravity, like a whirlwind, and finally crashed into the top of the safety exit under everyone's gaze.

"Be concise and bold!" Tenya Iida shouted at everyone, enduring the pain in his body. "Classmates, nothing has happened, it's just the media. There's no need to panic at all. It's okay. This is U.A. High School. Act like students of a top institution should!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then someone shouted, "It's true! The police are here too, it seems like everything is fine now."

The incident came to an end, and everyone orderly returned to their classrooms. Some even went back to eat since they knew it was fine, after all, they hadn't even had time to eat when they were running.

In this incident, Tenya Iida played a significant role. Students from several classes remembered the bespectacled Tenya Iida. This guy was truly bold and a bit comical.
