haruka watched as murai leapt at the villain that had assaulted him, flicking his tongue over his lips as blood dripped from his nose and down his face. Droplets fell onto the desk but he didn’t look away from the scene in front of him. Murai was succeeding in making a point, if that was what he meant to do, and Haruka doubted he’d have much trouble with Raichi again.

The villain brought a hand to his nose, wincing lightly as he ran a finger down the bridge. Broken, for sure, but luckily it was an easy fix. Not one he’d do to himself, for fear he’d mess it up worse, but it wasn’t something he’d worry about in the long term. As Murai approached him, he looked up, swallowing the blood from where his tooth had pierced his lip. His voice was nasally and thick, and he looked more annoyed than anything.”My nose. Bastard broke it.” He didn’t offer anything more, standing and grabbing his bag. As he stalked from the classroom, he made sure to step on Raichi’s hand with most of his weight, sneering as he cried out. “Coward’s choice, coming at me while I was sleeping. You’d better watch your back, or you’ll be getting a knife between the ribs.”

Before anyone could protest, he hurried out, pain beginning to bother him as the adrenaline rush eased. Haruka was tough, of course he was, but he was still human and it still bothered him. He usually avoided getting seriously injured, even in real fights. He was fast, and his Quirk was one that tended to leave his victims very distracted. Some would say he was a coward, playing dirty and not giving his opponents a fair chance. But it wasn’t easy. Every time he sparred with his classmates, he felt as if he was an inch from losing. One hit in the right place could down him, and he’d be defenseless. His quirk doesn’t hurt anyone physically, it’s all just an illusion. And Murai’s shown how easy it is to get through it, if you know what’s happening.

Murai knew that it was not smart behavior to just defend a random villain from another. It made him look suspicious but he knew even villains had their "alliances". He could easily pass it off as an "alliance" if any of the other villain kids became suspicious of him. Or, he could easily give them the same treatment that he gave the man who attacked Haruka. He was fine with either version at this point. He had learned that often violence was the only way to get through to villains it seems.

Murai reached forward and gently grasped Haruka's nose now and cracked it into place. He had experience with setting broken noses as most of his injuries back at the hero school were broken noses as people had deemed that the easiest way to throw Murai off from using his quirk. If he can't see his opponent then he cannot know which part of the body was exposed enough to target to steal the quirk from. Once he noticed Haruka stalking out of the classroom, he stood up tall as well and followed him, stepping on Raichi's hand as he walked past.

As Haruka tried to escape, Murai continued to follow him. They had some things to discuss. Murai needed some information and he thought that he had a good enough relationship with Haruka that Haruka would give him the information he needed at this current point in time. He reached out and gently grasped Haruka's shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. "Haruka, let's head back to my place. We can clean you up and have a chat..." He explained to him easily.

Haruka had to resist the urge to swat at Murai as the other boy leaned toward him, lip curling slightly as his nose was set. He wasn’t used to being touched by anyone, not even a helping hand, so needless to say it made him very uncomfortable. He was also acutely aware that most villains wouldn’t do something like that, they tended to do things that only benefited them. It had been less than two days, and Murai was already doing things others could take as red flags.

He didn’t stick around too long, his pride far too bruised for him to face his classmates. Murai just had to show up and ruin everything. His reputation was crumbling, and he could do nothing to fix it. If it was found out that Haruka was hiding the fact that the new kid was an undercover hero, he would be labelled a traitor. He‘d seen what happened to traitors. He’d seen the result of the punishments. He could end up scarred, crippled, or dead. The League wasn’t a place for secrets, especially not dangerous ones. If any of their classmates got wind of the truth, rumors would spread like wildfire, and it wouldn‘t belong before word reached a higher up.

“Who says I want to chat with you?” The raven-haired boy snapped, gaze focusing on the other. His voice sounded funny, tongue prodding the new gap where one of his front teeth had been. Murai wasn’t the cause of his anger, only the unlucky person Haruka was taking it out on. He almost wanted to start a fight with the hero, take out his frustration on the reason his peers thought he was weak, but knew it’d be useless. If anything, he’d just be beaten up again, and prove further that he was completely useless. “Because I don’t. You’re just a stupid, annoying he- Nuisance , just like them.”

Murai knew that the fact that he was helping someone would be suspicious to the other students but he had his reasons. Haruka was his only ally in this school so far so he needed to keep him around as long as he could. He needed him for his plan to work completely. It would benefit him in the end but he also knew that the others might take his actions as red flags and he needed to be prepared for that.

Murai knew that Haruka's pride would have been hurt and bruised since he began to attend the school there. He used to be the top dog but now an undercover hero had to swoop in and take his place out from underneath him. He rose an eyebrow as Haruka spoke to him with such venom in his voice. Murai remained quiet for now as he tried to piece his thoughts together. "Alright, if you desire me to leave you be, I will." He spoke monotonously as he looked at the other man. He took a few steps. "Goodbye, Haruka..." He spoke simply as he turned on his heel and headed back into the school for the days training. He still had information to gather.

Murai was dedicated to his mission and he would not let any possible friendships cloud his visions of his successes. He needed to complete this mission for the heroes. He needed to return to his normal school.
