Yesterday I managed to plan out a few training routines for both Naijeru and Shinso. We decided to start training as soon as possible.
So today I'll have to spend a few hours after classes to help them a bit. Not that I mind, I am quite curious how the two of them are going to end up.
Eri also started school today. Seeing her dressed up for school felt nice, maybe because she seemed so happy about it. Rumi was almost tearing up. But she did kick me away when I tried to hug her.
Said I was ruining the moment or something. Although she didn't mind when Eri asked for a group hug.
Rumi needed to go to work, but she completely ignored it. As both of us had the pleasure of taking Eri to her first day of school. Looking at her run into the school felt nice.
Since it's the first day, parents can attend. So we also decided to enter the room and stand in line with the other parents.
I was a bit famous, so people looked at me a bit weirdly. I was still 16 after all. But Eri looked happy to see us. And I don't really care about much more.
Rumi was also receiving some looks, the ones informed about our identities as heroes also knew about our relationship. In the end, a 9-year difference was still weird to see in a relationship. I guess if I were older, it wouldn't matter as much.
The 9 years aren't the problem. The problem is me being 16 years of age. The weird gazes are something we have to live with for now.
But the gazes didn't really stop me from holding her hand. I was never one to care about public opinion anyway.
Her smile told me that she also didn't care much, and her giving my hand a little squeeze was also a good indicator.
But all good moments come to an end. Eri started her first class while I and Rumi have work to do. I will still drop by and take Eri home before training my friends.
I have classes planned with 1-A. I still haven't decided what I should actually do... Maybe I'm not that great of a teacher? Nah, can't be. I'll just blame Nezu or someone else.
Meh, I guess I can just have them fight each other. I would make them train their quirks as they did in summer break in the anime. But I am the combat instructor...
I still have a class or two in front of me. I spent them with Naijeru playing poker. Shinso being a diligent student and only acting as the card dealer.
We did get chastised a little. But there wasn't really much to do, it seems Naijeru is also very book smart. He can act like this without any repercussion to his grades.
As much as I thought about what to do with class 1-A, I still couldn't really come up with anything. I'll just think of something on the fly. I am good at that(lie).
I started making my way to class 1-A. I think this was going to be annoying. Mainly due to Lord Explosion Murder. But all the classroom is filled with strange characters. I don't even know if there is anyone normal in the hero course...
Reaching their classroom was quick. Even though I tried to stall as much as possible. I never liked troublesome things. I'd much rather prefer going around and beating villains for fun.
The teachers are what keep me here really. Since they are my friends, it would be annoying to start working somewhere else and make new friends. These guys already got used to me, letting them go wouldn't be nice.
I looked at the door. Why was I acting like a shy transfer student all of a sudden? I'll just rip the band-aid off quickly.
I could feel the students inside talking to each other. The bell was about to ring. I decided to make my entrance as soon as it did.
Slamming the door open attracted the attention of everyone in the room. They looked in my direction. I could see some of their eyes widening in surprise.
I guess Nezu was never really specific about my job at UA. But at least this class seemed to somewhat know me. With a few exceptions.
"Who's that guy?" Asked a small student with purple balls sticking out of his head.
Kirishima also seemed confused about my identity.
I was wearing my hero costume and everything. I was prepared for them to be in awe... Not getting recognized is fine. I don't care about their opinion anyway.
Thankfully, Momo decided to end my embarrassment and introduce me to the people that didn't recognize me.
"This! The Nr.3 Hero is also a teacher at UA?" Thank you. I know I am no All Might, but I should still be somewhat well known...
"Yes, I've been here for a year already. It's great to meet you all. I'll be taking the presence and then we ca-"
A loud explosion interrupted me. Great, this guy.
"YELLOW BASTARD!!" He rushed me, the rest of the students looked on in shock.
"No fighting in the classroom..." I said slowly and lazily. As he was about to reach me chains made out of light started sprouting into existence. Completely entangling the irate student.
Most of the class looked surprised at how easily I had restrained their colleague. I guess they still don't have a lot of perspective on the strength of Pro Heroes.
"Please take your seat..." While saying that the chains yanked him towards his seat and wrapped around him and the seat.
Without wasting any more time. I started the roll call. They were still a bit surprised about what had just happened. But they responded anyway.
Some of them seemed excited to meet me. It seems Momo is a fan of mine at least. Oh, and Izuku. But he's excited when meeting any hero. And I already know him so he doesn't count.
Bakugo was just screaming profanities while chained to his seat. He calmed down halfway through the roll call, so I loosened the chains a bit.
Ochako seemed to want to speak to me. I think she remembers me saving here in the past. It's not really anything special. I am a hero after all. But she is the type of person that would say 'thank you' after getting saved.
Shoto was just quiet, like always. Iida seemed a bit embarrassed when seeing me. Probably remembering me from the entrance exam.
"Now that I got to know everyone present..." I took a short pause, making sure everyone was done gossiping and started listening.
"You should put on your costumes and meet me at Gym Gamma. If you want directions just look at a map or something." As soon as I finished talking I disappeared. I'll give them 10 minutes to dress up and reach the gym.
Generous time, I know. It's just because I doubt they actually know where it is.
I still don't really know what the exercise is going to be. But since when has the lack of planning been a problem for me? (always)
I think this exercise is going to be fun.

Would you look at that. It's another chapter.
I had an interview today, I'll likely start working sometime next week.
It shouldn't affect the release too much. [might be a bit delayed from time to time, (but still one a day)]
