The white child in the duo, somewhat awkwardly, tugged at the black woman's sleeve. He then approached the nearby outdoor map screen, placed his hands on the cold surface, and emotionlessly stated.
"Pick up at Gate 66 at 3 PM."
Smith, the blond man, gave the black woman a quiet glance before clapping his hands lightly.
"Alright, it's time for us to start working too."
"I wonder who will be pushed to the edge this time?"
The black woman, clearly in a subordinate role, retorted.
"Don't forget, we have to find Hawke first."
Smith, walking ahead, didn't look back but gave a cool gesture to his subordinate, signaling "Got it."
On the other side, feeling thirsty, Accelerator strolled into the commercial street area of "I-Island."
There were many workers busy preparing for the event, as tomorrow would be the first official opening day of "I-Island" to the public.
During the exhibition, many tourists and professional heroes were expected to come, and this was undoubtedly the happiest time for the merchants.
Suddenly, someone heard a familiar warning voice.
"What are you two doing! You were hired to work here, not to wander around looking at girls!"
It was none other than Iida, the class president from U.A. A-Class.
He was still wearing his hero costume, angrily shouting towards the sunshades where some students were gathered.
Accelerator helplessly looked over there, and sure enough, many students from A-Class were there.
Class president Iida was explaining something to Midoriya and Uraraka.
"My family gave me an invitation, but they had other matters, so I brought these two along."
Hearing this, Yaoyorozu Momo, who was sitting among the female students and also wearing a hero costume, placed her hand on her chest and happily spoke.
"Such a coincidence! I also got an invitation because my family is a sponsor of 'I-Island.'"
Jiro Kyoka, flashing a cheerful smile, continued, "And my family ended up with extra invitations. After playing rock-paper-scissors, we decided to come here together! By the way, the other girls are also at the venue now."
"As for Todoroki-kun, he's nearby. He said he wanted to buy something before coming to find us."
Uraraka Ochako nodded in agreement.
Finally, Yaoyorozu Momo said, "Starting tomorrow, during the general opening day, we plan to visit the exhibition. Do you (referring to the boys) want to come with us?"
Melissa, sitting at the same table as Yaoyorozu Momo, eagerly offered, "If you don't mind, as a local, I could guide everyone from U.A. around the island. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the girls couldn't help but respond excitedly.
"Really? Can we?"
After getting the response they wanted, the three girls showed the kind of happiness unique to teenage girls.
Meanwhile, the U.A. A-Class students didn't notice Accelerator, who was watching them from a distance. After a while, it seemed he lost interest in observing them or joining in.
He subconsciously adjusted the mask of his hero costume, which had been altered for disguise. As he was about to turn and leave, his vector perception suddenly alerted him to someone approaching from a distance.
He calmly turned his head and saw that it was Todoroki Shoto.
Like the others, Todoroki was fully equipped with her hero costume today.
In fact, Todoroki herself felt strangely drawn to the man in front of her, who was wearing a white mask (after disguise).
Her unique sixth sense kept buzzing.
Todoroki seemed very uncertain. After hesitating, her movements became too big, causing her costume to swing in a noticeable arc. In the end, she mysteriously asked, "Is it you? Accelerator-kun?"
"???"
This turn of events completely caught Accelerator off guard.
It was important to note that he had used his abilities to change his hair color, and his usual hero costume had been completely altered. In simple terms, his appearance was now the opposite of what it had been, resembling something like Iida's medieval armor style.
Even his voice and figure had changed, so how did Todoroki Shoto recognize him? Even someone as strong as Accelerator couldn't figure it out.
Of course, that didn't stop him from denying the fact.
However, if someone refuses to admit it now, they will inevitably encounter Todoroki-kun after the hidden enemy appears, which will lead to trouble.
It would be better to clear things up now rather than face problems later, and Todoroki Shoto isn't the kind of unreasonable person.
The most important thing is that someone is very curious about how Todoroki-kun saw through their disguise.
So, Accelerator raised one finger and quietly said, "Shh, keep it down."
"By the way, how did you see through the disguise and realize it was me?"
At this moment, Todoroki Shoto's feelings of happiness, excitement, and shyness were probably beyond Accelerator's understanding.
On the other side, the Ice Princess's face was flushed, and she quietly answered.
"Intuition."
Accelerator was a little confused by Todoroki Shoto's answer.
(What is this?! It's almost like magic! Todoroki-kun's Quirk isn't [seeing through] or [identifying], so what kind of strange thing is this?!)
"...."
All Accelerator could do was remain silent and wait.
On the other side, it was clear that the real reason couldn't be spoken in this situation.
So, the two were in a stalemate.
Todoroki Shoto had always been one of the people in Class A who understood Accelerator the most. She knew he must have noticed something and was disguising himself here alone.
The girl, who was aware that her strength was still not enough for battles at his level, smiled bitterly and quietly said, "Accelerator-kun, please stay safe."
"You've just recovered, so please don't get hurt again. Someone would be upset."
After saying that, Todoroki-kun turned her back and walked towards the Class A students.
During the time Accelerator was hospitalized, Todoroki-kun had visited him several times.
The main reason she didn't participate in the Shokuhou and Ruiko rotation system was that she wanted to be openly by his side.
Todoroki Shoto couldn't care for him every day like the Quirkless housekeeper, Saten Ruiko.
And she also couldn't be his right-hand person like her close friend, Shokuhou Misaki.
So, the only path left was to work hard to stand by his side on the front line, using her own strength.
