Chapter 42 - The cultural festival part 2

The day of the festival has finally arrived and all U.A students are highly nervous.

Class B is getting ready for the theater while Class A is putting the finishing touches on the show and the beauty pageant girls are getting ready.

As I expected, Izuku had to leave at the last minute to buy some things Momo asked for.

I already had to wake up early to participate in the group of heroes that will patrol the school, I have already called my parents who will participate in the festival together with Eri.

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

A few hours before the festival started I was exploring U.A and honestly, I'm a little sad that at some point I have to leave.

- So many memories were made. - I say this entering the class A room with a slight smile.

💭The day I walked in here, Izuku looked like he was going to die of nervousness and I would have to hold his hand.

- I'll miss the conversations with Mina, Uraraka's enthusiasm, Iida trying to bring order and even Bakugou's shouting. Hehehe.... really... I'm going to miss it. - I say that, but I hear Aizawa's voice behind me.

- What happened, Saito? It looks like you're at someone's funeral. - Aizawa said with that face that didn't have a good night's sleep.

- I... I'm just... Reminiscing about the past... It may not seem like it, but I feel like I've been here for a long time. - I say this with a neutral expression.

-As far as I remember, you stayed with Izuku for almost a year and then his parents arrived and now you're living with them in just a few months. I still can't believe you're from another world. - Aizawa said.

- Well if I wasn't then it would be a miracle that my mother and father are not known to the public. Well, I can't waste any time, I have a patrol to do. - I say this as I leave the room, but I stop when I hear Aizawa's voice once again.

- You're leaving, aren't you? - Aizawa said, taking me by surprise.

- How do you.... - He speaks for me.

- Because last month you changed your attitude and were becoming a little distant from others. Normally I wouldn't take this too seriously, but I noticed that your parents stopped doing hero activities after Eri's rescue. - Aizawa explains.

- As expected of the hero Eraserhead. Observing everything around you. I should have expected you to pick up the pieces. It seems like I underestimated you. - I answer.

- I can already imagine the reason, but I want to know from you. - Said Aizawa, leaving me quiet for a few seconds.

- The reason my parents are here is to bring me back home, I just made them stay longer than they wanted and now they're getting ready to go back, but that's not the only reason. - I answer.

- So what's this other reason? - Aizawa asks.

- Apparently I was born with 3 powers or as you call it Quirk. - I respond to Aizawa who was surprised to hear it.

- Three quirks?! How is this possible? As far as I know you only have two! - Aizawa said almost shouting.

- I was also surprised when I found out from my mother. - I say this remembering my conversation with her.

Flashback

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

- Ok son, before you take your sister, I have something important to tell you. - My mother said with a serious and floating expression.

- For you, looking like that is really important. - I respond in a relaxed tone.

- And it has to do with you, boy. - My mother said.

- Ok... - I say this fearing the worst.

- Do you remember why we came to this world? - My mother asks and I remain silent, already knowing the answer.

💭I wanted to dream that it wasn't about me leaving without warning, but then I would be being very optimistic.

- Is it due to my leaving our world? - I say this with a certain fear.

- Yes, you are correct. Now do you know what you ended up leaving behind other than a destroyed desert? - My mother asks again.

- I really don't know that. - I respond by telling the truth.

- You left a dimensional crack that, thanks to your father's strength, opened a rift that helped with our arrival. Neither you nor your father, as far as I know, have the power to open a dimensional portal. - My mother explains and I remain silent, absorbing everything and my mother continues.

- Before the two of us entered the desert, the child Emperor said that you must have achieved your own power in conjunction with what you inherited from us at birth to have managed to accomplish such a feat. He also said that if his theory is right there must be a dimensional crack in this world that will take us to where you are. - My mother explains.

- So.... You mean that.... - My mother finishes what I was going to say.

- "That there is now a dimensional rift open in this world?" Yes, there is and I am always watching that no one enters or leaves that portal. Fortunately that didn't happen. - My mother said, leaving me surprised.

- So there is an open portal in our world? - I ask even though I already imagine the answer.

- Yes, but I'm sure that Genos and the others are under surveillance too, but that doesn't mean it's safe, it could very well be that a monster of the Tiger, Dragon or even worse God level could appear in this world via the use of the portal . Then no hero here will be able to defend himself against them. - My mother said.

- So our only way to resolve this is.... Get out of here? - I say this still surprised.

- Yes. We can't stay in this world anymore, son, this isn't our real home and neither are the people we have to protect. The 3 of us also have duties to do in our world, yes we are in times of peace, but that doesn't mean that something can change suddenly. As much as I don't like to admit it, the association needs me, your father and you back. - My mother responds.

- What about Eri? Will she come with us? - I ask.

- Of course she goes along! What did you expect from me? Leave her without a father or mother? I'm not a cruel person! Anyway, our departure will be days after the cultural festival, so I hope you're ready to say goodbye to the others. Now about Eri, I'm going to talk to her about our departure after the festival. Do you understand boy? - My mother asks

- Yes ma'am. - I respond in a slightly sad tone.

End of Flashback

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

How much time do you still have? - Aizawa asks.

- I must leave days after the festival. - I answer.

- You still have the introduction day of the new heroes to participate. - Aizawa reminds me.

- Yes, I'm sure I should be able to participate, but it will be my last day. - I respond and leave the room leaving Aizawa.

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

Hours have passed and the cultural festival starts with fireworks and another hour of patrolling, honestly this is getting boring.

💭This work is making me bored, I hope something interesting happens.

The moment I thought about this I hear sounds of battle coming from the forest near me.

- Hmm? Are people fighting? - I say that and release a small psychic wave to feel what is happening to my surprise it is Izuku fighting someone.

💭Ah! Wow, I totally forgot about Gentle and La Brava! Wow, when you stop to think about it, it's actually offensive to them, considering the duo's history. It's not my fault they only appear once! Well the dog hero isn't here and neither is the one who makes clones, so I better show up.

I start to enter the forest and use my connection with Izuku to locate him, I could use my high speed, but I didn't need to since La Brava saw me and immediately ran back to where she came from.

💭Am I that ugly?

After a few seconds I see Izuku flying in the air, but I catch him using my telikinesis and make him stay close to me.

- Saito?! - Izuku said, surprised to see me.

- Apparently you had a fight, Izuku, knowing you, doesn't surprise me. As a teacher I should give a punishment because it's at the last minute, but it's a special occasion. - I say this by letting him go.

- Go! I'll take care of the criminals, you focus on the show. - I say this walking towards where the duo is.

- OK! I'm already going. - Said Izuku, who quickly starts running into U.A.

💭Ok, one less problem.

I get to where the pair of thugs are and see them hugging each other as if something bad is going to happen to them both.

- I tripped over a stone. U.A I want to surrender. - Gentle said.

I stay silent for a few minutes thinking about what to do.

- So you are the noise duo I hear about. What are you doing here? - I ask even though I know the answer.

- I fell on a rock. - Gentle said.

- Look, I'm not stupid enough to fall for that and besides I saw one of my students in the air, so I can assume you did something. Is it this girl? Is it your partner? - I ask.

Gentle used the same excuse he said in the original story saying he brainwashed her and then La Brava started crying.

I would honestly let them go, however I know that this will not resolve the facts that they are prisoners, meaning I will just postpone it until something worse happens to them.

- Ok, I have an appointment to participate in the festival, that is, I don't want to waste time with you two. Hero Hound and Ectoplasm, I have an individual here who tried to disrupt the festival. - I say this reporting what happened on the radio transmitter.

In short, the duo was taken to the police to give a statement. What I did may seem cruel, but if I let them leave, they both won't be able to pay their sentences and they won't be able to live a normal life. After that happened, my parents and Eri arrived.

- I'm glad you came. - I say this with a slight smile.

- If I didn't see your mother, I wouldn't stop screaming in my ear. - Said my father, who received a punch to the back of the head.

- Forget what your father said, where is the show location? - My mother asks.

I take my parents and Eri to the concert venue and as expected it is full of students from different classes. Seeing that it's very crowded I put Eri on my shoulders so she can have a better view of the show.

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

Right after the show, I personally saw Eri smiling, it really was something very good to see, even my parents cried a little.

When everything was over, my parents and I went to talk to the students from Class A while they were cleaning the place.

- Good job on the show Izuku. - I say this seeing him coming back, but at the moment he was about to say more Eri speaks first

- You know what! At first, the loud noise scared me, but everyone started jumping and dancing, there was a glow and you disappeared... But then everything became cold, there was a spinning light and a girl's voice said "wow" and I said "wow" too.... - While Eri spoke with great joy, my father kept imitating her movements, I was laughing inside seeing this, my mother was smiling seeing everything.

- I'm glad you had fun. - Izuku said, wiping his tears and Eri let out another smile.

💭 Wow, I'm going to get diabetes!

- Saito!!!! - I hear Mina's voice who immediately threw herself at me, luckily I caught her in time.

- Careful, Mina! You could have fallen. - I say this making Mina laugh.

- Hahahahaha! I knew you would catch me, so I had nothing to worry about! Then! What did you think of the show? What did you think of the dance? Did you like what I did? - Mina kept throwing several questions at me while my mother just watched everything from the sidelines.

***********

With that, I, along with everyone else, made the most of what the cultural festival had to offer. The beauty contest went as expected and Nejire won the competition.

I played with Eri a lot at the festival, it was a great feeling to see her smiling all the time. But unfortunately everything has a time to end and the cultural festival has come to an end. Everyone is already going home and Eri seems like she doesn't really want to leave U.A yet.

- Thank you for today! It was very funny. - Izuku said to my parents.

- I appreciate it, you managed to make my daughter smile, so I'm grateful to U.A for that. - My mother said with a smile and Eri remains silent.

- Eri. - Izuku and I called her and the moment she looked at both of us. -

Surprise! - We both showed her a love apple.

- Were they selling a love apple? I was looking everywhere and couldn't find it! - My father said.

- I knew they wouldn't sell it, so I quickly went to buy the ingredients. With that, Izuku and I made the candy together, of course with the help of Sato who taught us. - I explain to them and Eri tastes the apple and then Eri lets out a huge smile.

- It's even sweeter! - Eri said with great joy.

- So, I should make you a new one in the future. - I say with a smile and Eri nods.

End of ep.
