Heroes keeping secrets!? UA Boy Returned!

BY TOKUDA TANEO



UA has issued a public statement that the first year student harrowingly kidnapped by villains last week has been returned, unharmed, to his family. Principal Nedzu refused to answer any questions about the extraction, nor as to the current status of the kidnappers.

He did however, state "The student in question has returned to us [...] energetic and unharmed. He will, of course, be put through a two month mandatory counseling for this traumatic experience."

The mouse principal of UA has been media shy ever since May, when

Anyone know if that pizza place in Kamino plans to rebuild? Place was never great, but it wasn't an actual hazard to life and it was the only place open when I got out of classes :/

[Excerpt from interview with Yamasaki Amaya on 8/17/20X4 relating to a possible link between the "Kamino Explosion" and "Bakugou Katsuki" cases. Interviewer's comments cut for brevity.]

 

 

"That's right. Yeah, Hauler was there. You know, that vigilante kid from a while back? How far back? I dunno.

...

'Crawler'? No no, it was definitely 'Hauler'. I dunno if you could even call him a vigilante, he mostly just helped people haul things around, you know, like his name. That was his quirk, to help haul things faster.

...

What do you mean, 'that's not a quirk', of course it is, I saw it with my own two eyes! He helped me move into my apartment what was it, five years ago now? I hadn't seen him around recently so I thought he'd retired and gotten a real job.

...

He looked fine, same costume. Fit him a little less well, because that dude has been working out! He was hella tight, man, bless my eyes."

Well that's suspicious. The timing alone would be cause for concern.

UA Student Housing Proposal Denied

by Kuwahara Chieko - August 18, 2X04

Voters in the UA Community School District rejected a ballot proposal for on-campus student housing in a special election held on Wednesday. Votes for measure approval fell 20.5 percent short of the simple majority needed.

The failure of this measure to pass is largely attributed to UAs overall failure to secure their own campus and assure the safety of their students and staff during off-campus activities. A second vote will be taken in December. If approved, students currently attending UA would be required to use the new boarding system in order to remain enrolled.

According to various third party reports, the Principal of UA High is still pursuing construction companies for quotes on a large scale addition to the school campus, but declined to comment. Though there is speculation that UA plans to continue pushing for dormitory housing, these construction inquiries could also be related to the USJ building, which has been operating at 50% capacity since the League of Villains attack in April of this year.

Do you want to train together this weekend? Sorry, I can't!! Do you know Blood? From QABD I think I've seen the username in ideals-chat before. They're very... Enthusiastic. I'm doing an offline meet-up with her on Sunday!!!! Okay. Doesn't that mean you'll be free Saturday No, I'll be too busy picking out an outfit and scoping out the venue You know this is the reason you failed finals, right Rude!! This is important, I've gotta make a good impression!!! You're already starting to talk more like her, are you sure prolonged exposure is a good idea Just for that, you're now uninvited Good. Because I'll be preparing for the licensing exam. So I don't fail it like you're going to. smh Someday you'll learn that some things are more important than grades Like prohero licensing exams? Stop trying to MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY I'm sorry. I was unaware you possessed the minimum amount self awareness required to feel guilt. I never should have introduced you to the internet

Thoughts on Prelude?

I've been looking for other blogs like QAB and ran into Prelude. Does this sub have an opinion?

His content looks super promising, especially the quirk studies stuff. But one of my big hang ups is that I prefer text articles so I can read on the train and on breaks at work, and he seems to be most active on youtube.

There's a lot of QAB clones out there, but in my opinion Prelude is next level. His takes are unique and his analyses are solid. I hear you on the video vs written content though.

If by unique you mean psychotic, then yes

This post in particular is the best of both worlds: insanity and God tier level analysis.

I think the general consensus is that nothing will ever be as good as QAB.

Thank you for accepting my friend request.

Shouto Today at 12:38
I apologize for contacting you directly, but I wanted to thank you personally for your part in helping my classmate. Though he may not appreciate or acknowledge it, we may very well have saved his life. Because of the community you fostered, because you taught people to help out where they can and stand up for themselves, because you stepped up and took charge of the mission itself, we were able to remove someone from a dangerous situation. We absolutely couldn't have done it without you.
And because the student in question would be too prideful to say it, I'll say it for him.
Thank you.

Shuttai Today at 12:50
I like to think it all would have worked out somehow but I'm incredibly glad I could help!
I couldn't just ignore someone in need if there was a chance we could do something. I'm so glad it worked out and that your classmate is back home safe.

Shouto Today at 12:57
None the less
Thank you again, Shuttai-san. You're a true hero.

Notes:

update:
thanks so much for all your comments and encouragement!! i was trying to get around to answering every comment for a while and then got behind and then got overwhelmed, but i do read and appreciate all of them!! <333
(every so often i go back and add more working links, if anyone cares to play through the shortest ARG in the world. )

 

FINAL NOTES :'(
- the reception to QAB has been amazing, thanks so much for reading/commenting/encouraging/commiserating and coming on this crazy ride with me!!
- idk rn if i'll write a sequel. i have some stuff plotted out, but even if i had time to work on it, it'd be several months before i'd be able to post the first chapter
- and i dont have time, bc hawks brainrot is real. warn your friends. its already too late for me.
- microwave and egg convo based loosely on real life where i told this guy i kept thinking about breaking into this empty condo to turn off the light someone had left on. he said "that's... nice of you?" but then i followed up with, "and it think about in equal measure breaking in to microwave an egg, just to watch it happen irl and not have to clean it up."
- today i found out you can style a blockquote?? you can STYLE a BLOCKQUOTE
- i have had my workskins in an open tab since literally the beginning of QAB and i'll... finally be able to close it?? w i l d
- denki and himiko are ABSOLUTELY DATING(or about to) and i never had the chance to do it justice :(( they haven't met in person yet, they just chat on discord and line and send each other a lot of memes, this relationship is not a joke to me (...even if that's how it started out. pls, they'd be so cute together)
- if you have any thoughts/conjectures/predictions for a potential act 2, i'd love to hear them!! and steal them (if i do write a sequel i dont want to forget anything.)

 

thanks so much, everybody ♡
