"Hey, what do you think of this one?" asked Jiro, she was holding a CD case, looking at the label I hummed in thought.
"Well this singer isn't very popular but it isn't very expensive so go for it!" I raised my thumb while shuffling through the selves looking for something that piqued my interest
"Oh, I now remember something!" suddenly Jiro sprang up causing me to jump back in surprise
"What is it?" It wasn't often Jiro would suddenly jump... unless I teased her too much
"I heard 'Milim Nava' released a new album! you gotta hear it! It's right up your style!" she dragged me by the collar and led me to one of the shelves, looking at the label "Best Sellers of the week" I was surprised.
'Huh, I haven't checked how much money I earned from releasing those songs...'
While Jiro was looking for the 'album' she wanted to show me I sneakily checked my bank account. I don't check it very often as I don't spend too much money and my parents give me a generous monthly allowance to buy as many songs as i wan-
"HOLY SH*T" My eyes nearly popped out of my sockets
'40,000,000 yen... are you crazy? that's almost 300,000 dollars!'
"Why did you just scream? I was looking for-" Jiro turned around while holding her ears, she was just about to find that album when her eyes landed on Rimuru's phone
"HUH? How are you so rich!?!? I paid last time for nothing!?" Jiro felt betrayed as she paid for some of the songs he bought last time.
"I had no idea..." I really didn't know that royalties could be so generous, I was basically set for life!... wait never mind.
"Where did you even get that money? your not a drug dealer or something right...?" Jiro asked with concern
"Me? Drugs? pssshhhh never" I said with cold sweat running down my back, I felt her skeptical gaze land on me.
"Just pay this time... no you're paying from now on hehe" Jiro sighed before she started to giggle menacingly, she was planning a scheme!
"psst, it's them right?" In the corner of my eyes, I suddenly started to hear murmuring...
looking around I saw multiple looking at us, I squinted my eyes and perhaps feeling my gaze the voices got quiet...
After Jiro showed me 'Milim Nava's album we quickly made our way to the cashier, as we were basically regulars we greeted her but this time her gaze felt a little different... 'Has my charisma stat improved..?'
"You're Rimuru Tempest right?" She suddenly asked out of the blue... strange...
"Yeah...? Why are you asking?"
"I saw you at the sports festival! you were so cool! Can I get your autograph?" The cashier looked at me with stars in her eyes
'Ah right... that's why...' Looking around I finally understood why people were staring...
"You look shorter than you looked in the broadcast"
"Damn, bastar-"
***************
The next day we arrived at UA, Tokoyami, Jiro and I were walking calmly... except Jiro who was SOAKING WET .... by that I mean it was raining and she didn't bring an umbrella.
"Please just let me be under the umbrella!" Jiro was complaining as she watched me walk completely dry under my umbrella.
"Nuh-uh! you scammed me so you deserve to be soaked humph" I huffed and crossed my arms, causing my umbrella to no longer cover me for a moment
"Dammit..." I felt the rain soak into my hair as I quickly held the umbrella correctly
"Pfft hahaha! How does it feel to be wet?" Jiro laughed, completely forgetting phrasing. I smiled cheekily and prepared to tease.-
"I wouldn't know, perhaps if I was a girl I'd know what it's like to be wet. wouldn't that be right Jiro? " CRITICAL HIT!
"Eh? huh... EH?" after a second Jiro finally realized what I meant causing her cheeks to turn red in a moment... arent we basically dating already...? Don't get ahead of yourself! I quickly shook my head.
"Can the both of you stop flirting, we're going to be late" Suddenly Tokoyami snapped at the both of us... I forgot he was here...
"you're just salty she beat you haha!"
"S-shut up" Tokoyami's cheeks turn red from embarrassment, last night was the most shameful moment in his life.
But before we could continue on our friendly banter we already reached UA, we quickly made our way to class. And perhaps we should've taken Tokoyami seriously as we were late...
"Why are you so late to class? you are 1.31 minutes late to class! Have you no shame?" Iida stiffly walked towards us
But before he could reprimand us we were drowned by the other classmates
"You were so cool! congratulations on the sports festival!" Toru raised her arms and waved them around.
"Those last few fights were seriously amazing! congrats Rimuru-kun!" Mina started to jump in happiness
"What electrifying performance!" Kaminari said with no shame
"O! What do you call those moves you used against Todoroki?" Midoriya looked at me while his hands were constantly writing things in his notebook... what was he even writing...?
On the other side of the classroom Bakugo was gritting his teeth, his anger was very apparent, and Shoto was sitting with his serious look as always, Momo kept gazing at him until she mustered the courage
"Todoroki-kun your performance was amazing! you shouldn't be low-spirited just because of one failure! you will always have another chance!" she blurted out, Shoto just gazed at her before sighing.
"I'm fine..." He rested his head on the table, clearly not fine.
....
"Why are you all blocking the entrance?" In seemingly an instant the whole class was seated with a straight posture, seemingly as if they teleported.
with a sigh, Aizawa entered the room while wiping his eyes from his most recent nap, instead of bandages covering his face he had a gnarly scar under his eye.
"Aizawa-sensei recovered I'm glad," Tsuyu said, her face didn't convey any emotion though, like usual
"Granny nurse went overboard with the healing" He massaged the scar under his eye, reached under the podium, and pulled out a remote, turning around he turned on a projector.
"While it wasn't a secret, but the UA sports festival was also used so heroes could scout you for this 2-week assignment," Aizawa shortly paused as the projector screen lowered, the tension in the class was visible... *Yawn* well except for Rimuru who was napping on the desk.
"Your next assignment is of course working as trainees for different agencies, some of this class were given requests by certain hero agencies to join, and of course, the winners of the sports festival received more than the others" As the projector sprung to life a graph was shown showing the number of requests each students got, which only 9 of them got requests. Mainly dominated by Rimuru, Todoroki, and Bakugo as they got more than a thousand each.
"But before we start with picking agencies we first will have a special hero informatics class!" Aizawa's words caused the tension to rise once again
"Code names. You will be deciding on your hero names, remember not to screw up cause you will be stuck with them." Aizawa said causing the whole class to spring into chaos as everyone celebrated.
"WOO, I cant wait to choose a super cool name!"
"Have you decided on a hero name?"
"I don't know..."
Rimuru who was drooling on the table deep inside a dream was suddenly disturbed from his sleep by a tapping on his shoulder...
"No! I will never chea-" Suddenly snapping my eyes open I noticed Midnight entering the classroom, looking to my right I thanked Tokoyami in my mind, Ms.Midnight was much stricter than expected, the last few lessons she hit me with her whip while I was sleeping!
"Calm down students *wink* today you will decide your hero name! but be careful they are for-"
"I already explained it to them..." Aizawa interrupted Midnight mid-hip-sway while facepalming, before she could start to argue he quickly retreated into his sleeping bag.
"Ahem- Let's start coming up with hero names! pass around these whiteboards and when you're done you can show it to the whole class. I'm looking forward to what some of you come up with hehe" She licked her lips causing multiple people to have chills run down their spine.
The following 10 minutes were silently chaotic as everyone scribbled names and tried out names.
"Dammit, I have no name idea!" Kaminari screamed out, I'm pretty sure Jiro gave him his hero name... sorry for the NTR but I pray for your luck
"Mutter mutter All Might? mutter mutter Mighty? mutter mutter mutter must have bigger wordcount" Midoriya started to mutter random names
I stared intensely at the whiteboard in front of me, my marker wasn't moving a cm I thought with all my might
'Something with shadow...? so it should have 'Kage' in it... but just Shaodw is boring, unless I'm running an organization it won't work...'
'maybe something to do with darkness.....' I was suddenly struck with an idea, I quickly scribbled down my new hero name and praised my own unoriginality.
looking to my right I saw Tokoyami write with precision his hero name, his lines were straighter than.... uh Shoto I guess? no there's no good analogy for this one...
I was suddenly reminded of Yaoi art from my past life, now thoroughly traumatized I waited for the time to end and for Midnight to stop gazing at me...
'I'm looking at you come on can't you tell?' my eye twitched as Midnight simply ignored my annoyed gaze and continued to stare into my soul.
a sudden clapping sound sounded through the classroom, Midnight smiled and opened her mouth, her gaze still lingering on Rimuru...
"Alright, it's to show your new heroes names! Rimuru, why don't you go first!" I finally understood her gaze held sinister intentions, reluctantly standing up I placed the whiteboard in front of everyone.
....
....
...
"My hero name will be 'Stormy hero: Arashi (嵐)"
______________________
A/N: if you're asking... yes Rimuru's hero name is indeed just 'Tempest' in Japanese. Praise my naming sense!
also, I had to triple-check so I don't mess up the translation... google translate isn't very reliable... if his name ends up as something like 'deer hair' or something I'm gonna punch myself
