Chapter 46 - Major plotline? avoided.

_________________________

I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided to just straight up kiss Jiro...

But hey they're kinda soft

Tastes like strawberries too, I didn't know Jiro wore chapstick...

Separating our lips I quickly diverted my thoughts

"Strawberry chapstick? Rich girl alert" I stepped back slowly hoping I wouldn't get a slap in the face

"Huh? Strawberry chapstick isn't that expens- don't change the subject!" Jiro stomped her foot before grabbing onto my collar

"Why'd you kiss me out of nowhere!" Her face was beet red and her breath tickled my nose.

If I wasn't careful I might lick the inside of her cheeks... The mouth cheeks... Get your mind out of the gutter.

....

"Alright, at least this isn't the worst-case scenario" Aizawa muttered while surveying the camp, luckily it seemed like none of the students were missing and those that were injured weren't severely so.

His gaze landed on Midoriya who was lying unconscious on a mattress, his two arms were broken. According to Kota who was with him, they encountered a villain and Midoriya protected him.

Aizawa's gaze shifted to Rimuru who had a very obvious stab wound on his neck, it seemed that the wound was too shallow to severely injure him as well.

"Sigh, let's escort the students back, we're gonna have to file a whole lot of paperwork after this incident" Aizawa sighed heavily as he returned to the other teachers.

"We're lucky we can call this an 'incident' no one died, and we have to be thankful for that," Snipe said with his arms crossed, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Yeah yeah, let's get this over with"

.....

After an hour of waiting class 1A and 1B were finally escorted out of the Mountain resort, at the exit, paramedics and police were already waiting, and as soon as the class arrived they got to work.

After getting a thorough questioning by Jiro I was finally released to get medical attention, getting a strange look from the paramedic as I would've probably died from blood loss 3 times. A bandage there and some painkillers and the bleeding stopped! Wow, magic!

After returning we got another thorough questioning this time from the police investigating the case.

A tiring hour later we were finally released and sent back to the UA campus

*********************************

Out in the middle of the forest, principal Nezu and the hero commission's president stood in front of a gigantic crater.

"You are saying that no witness report said anything about this?" The commission's president had a skeptical look as he stood at the edge of the crater

"All that was reported was 'a giant behemoth, a flash of light, and an earthquake" Nezu replied, his gaze not leaving the scene in front of him.

"So what you are saying is, that there might be a villain with this much destructive capabilities, and nobody reporting his existence?" The commission's president retorted, his eyes narrowed at the short white rat.

"How can we be sure it's a villain?" Nezu instead asked another question.

"What?" The president was confused by the question.

"If such a powerful villain were to join the attack, how come no student was severely injured? One had broken limbs but he has an alibi" Nezu questioned, the commission's president's expression fell.

"What are you implying?" He turned to face Nezu.

"You surely have read the files right? We still don't have a clear limit on Bakugo's explosion quirk, Midoriya's punches are almost at All Might level, and Rimuru... He could erase a city if he really wanted to" Nezu's beady eyes shined, and his aura changed to a ferocious one.

"Are you threatening the hero commission?" The president questioned, his fists clenched tightly

"I'm not, all I am saying is. You should be prepared when facing my students. Don't cross the line" Nezu stared at the commission's president, barely hiding his threat.

with a huff. The commission's president left leaving Nezu to stare at the horizon with the gigantic crater right in front of him

"This is getting more and more troublesome" Nezu looked at the file in his hands labeled 'UA dorms plan'

*********************************

With the last portal closing, the silent bar was now filled with the sounds of groaning and painful sighs

"So you failed?" Tomura stared at the

Vanguard Action Squad, at the beginning there were 10 squad members but now only 5 returned.

"They were honestly disappointing" Dabi leaned onto the counter his eyes ridiculing the others

"Oi, you weren't actually there, Booo unfair!" Himiko hugged her aching stomach, her usual blush and smile now gone

"Eh? We were just testing the capabilities of our new squad members" Dabi pointed at 'Twice' who was in the middle of talking to himself

"Didn't the clone die? You were disappointing as well" Tomura retorted, his observation making Dabi quiet down

"It cuz of that Eraser guy! I couldn't use my quirk, but I did find out who found out about the plan" Dabi finally gave good news

Tomura hearing Dabi clenched his fists, his teeth grinded reminded of the fact they not only failed but didn't get any of the targets.

"Who was it?" Tomura asked through gritted teeth

"Her name is Jiro I think, she has a weird sound quirk. She created shockwaves strong enough to negate my fire." Dabi answered his eyes narrowing as he remembered his flames get negated twice.

"How am I supposed to explain this to master, even the Nomu got caught" Tomura scratched his neck violently, his eyes scanning the injured villain

"Where's Mr. Compress?" Tomura asked Kurogiri.

"We don't know, all the other villains were reported caught, but Mr. Compress just disappeared, he wasn't even mentioned in their files" Kurogiri waved a file he stole from the police department that handled the case.

"Those Bastards...." Tomura felt rage bubbling up, leaving the villain team alone in the bar. Tomura went to rest.

*********************************

"Welcome back Rimuu" As soon as I stepped into my home, I heard my mom's voice however it was devoid of happiness.

"H-hey Mom" I felt cold sweat on my back as I slowly made my way into the living room

"You know, when I watch TV and I see my son's name, I should be feeling happy. But for some reason, I don't feel any joy right now" My mother's eyes locked with mine, and her dark red irises started glowing as she stared at me.

I felt my legs petrified. I swallowed Silaiva from nervousness.

"I-I'm sorry Mum!" Quickly kowtowing I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the punishment to hit me.

"I'm feeling merciful my little Rimu~" Hearing her words, I felt as if I just avoided a landmine.

"But....." Like being snatched away from the gates of heaven Mom shattered my dreams

*********************************

"No phone, no computer... Is she serious" I stared at the ceiling while contemplating my life's choices, standing up from my bed, I opened my window to feel the wind brush against my hair

"The world is cruel, how can I survive without music for a whole week" I wiped the tears from my eyes as I watched the stars in the sky shine

'I wonder how Jiro is doing'

*Meanwhile: In Jiro's house*

"He kissed me" Jiro muttered while staring at her phone screen, her eyes glued to the messaging app

[Sent Jiro: Rimuru are you gonna answer?

[Sent Jiro: Hellooooo

[Sent Jiro: where are you dummy?

[Sent Jiro:bruh

"Is he ghosting me?" Jiro turned off her phone as she flipped in bed, slowly drowning In her own thoughts.

"Kyaaa he actually kissed me" Kicked her legs Jiro slapped her cheeks as they turned redden by the second

"There's no way it was an accident right?" Her eyes narrowed but quickly returned to normal, her face only turning redder and redder.

"Kyouka! Dinner is ready!" She was snapped out of her own thoughts as her mother's voice came from downstairs

"I'm coming ma!" She stopped thinking and walked downstairs.

......

"Kyouka are you alright?" Jiro's mom asked, she looked very much like Jiro but her hair was styled in a pixie cut and had a very 'office lady' aesthetic.

"I'm fine!" Jiro pouted as her mom patted her on the head.

"Are you sure? Your face has been red for a while now" A voice came from another room, it was Jiro's dad. Peeking into the kitchen he had an angular face and long blonde hair, his eyes showed concern for his daughter.

"I'm totally fine, stop worrying about me jeez" Jiro fanned her face trying to make the redness go away.

"Don't tell me... You got a boyfriend?" Jiro's mom tilted her head while looking at Jiro skeptically

"Eh? Huh? No! I didn't shut up! Leave me alone" Surprised by the sudden question, Jiro's face flushed once again, completely forgetting about dinner Jiro ran back upstairs.

"Oh~ it appears our daughter has grown up" Jiro's mother smiled mysteriously while looking at the stairwell.

"What was that?" Jiro's father sat down at the dinner table as he asked her.

"Jiro has gotten herself a boyfriend"

"What... Who dares" Jiro's father clenched his fists, his calm demeanor dissipated into thin air.

*********************************

"I'm bored" I stared at the ceiling yet again, it had been a few days since Mom removed my electronics rights. I was bored out of my mind and just had to wait until Mom stopped being mad

"Rimuu~ come here" I suddenly heard mom's voice downstairs, narrowing my eyes I answered

"What?"

"Come down we have visitors!" Hearing her shouting I rolled out of bed, my hair unbrushed and only wearing pajamas

"Principal Nezu? All Might?" My eyes widened looking at the open door to my home, seeing the gigantic muscle head and small white rat I felt my heart come up through my mouth.

.........

"It's been a while Rimuru-chan" Nezu, All Might, and my parents all sat down in the living, Nezu started with me while sipping tea my mother brewed.

"Yeah... I guess, so what is this about?" I asked getting right to the point, I didn't want to dilly dally because if Nezu is involved it's some serious sh*t.

"I'll get right to the point, we are currently introducing the Dorms system to UA, due to security concerns we want all Students to move to the UA campus and live there for their duration of study." Nezu quickly explained

"Now then, Ms.Tempest, are you willing to sign so Rimuru here could move to the UA dorms?"

"No" My mom answered quickly, her face flat and empty of emotion, she narrowed her eyes before questioning

"How can I know you will protect my little Rimuu? You got attacked twice" She raised her own teacup and sipped giving Nezu a taste of his own medicine

"We were getting to that" Nezu however smiled before pointing at All Might.

"What do you say about working for UA? You are known for having great control over your quirk, I'm sure the students will be happy learning from you" Nezu has done his research, my mom has great control over her quirk, second only to Endeavor. I'm kinda proud, to be honest.

"I'm retired honey" My mom retired sarcastically.

"You could keep an eye on Rimuru here. Did you know? Rimuru has gotten quite bold, kissing a classmate in front of everyone" As soon as Nezu's last sentence came out, the sound of shattering glass sounded.

"Oh ho, it seems my son is hiding quite a bit from me" I felt chills running down my spine, Nezu you Bastard!

"I accept, I'll see who this girl thinks she is... or boy?"

"I'm not gay mum!"

"Good"

Nezu smiled seeing my mother accept, he turned towards me yet again.

"That's right, I almost forgot. Here's the invitation to the I-expo at I-Island, it isn't every day that the most technologically advanced island holds an exposition. I hope you can attend." Nezu handed me a ticket labeled

'congrats Rimuru Tempest, you are invited to the I-Expo at I-Island! A private plane is scheduled to take you there if you decide to attend!'
