Waking up was a bit strange.
- Mmh... - my head was splitting.
Opening my eyelids, I immediately saw familiar faces...
Momo and Katsuki.
"Ah! He's awake!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed. It was quite pleasant to see the excitement on her face... I wish I could get another hug.
- Huh? - And I got them right away!
Momo hugged me tightly, pressing her gorgeous breasts against me... Mm, soft.
Gorgeous...
- Hey you! - but the brother clearly decided to ruin the moment: - What the hell did you do there? Decided to play the hero?!
I didn't answer, but just waved him off, not wanting to miss such a moment of closeness. But my annoying brother clearly didn't understand the hints...
- Are you out of your mind?! - He walked towards me with an angry gait, pushed away the surprised Momo and grabbed me by the chest:
- Do you even understand what you did, idiot?!
Wow, what a look... He didn't look exactly angry, more like... Scared?
I see... He was worried?
I softened, smiling:
- Sorry for making you worry.
- Tch... - Bakugo was clearly embarrassed by this, he snorted and let me go:
- If you do something like that again, I'll kill you myself! You let them hurt you and lay there like a dog, what a disgrace! And this is my brother?! A laughing stock! - Having vented all his indignation, he turned around and slammed the door.
All I could do was smile awkwardly... Just like Momo, who after a while said:
- He was worried... When we were evacuated from USJ, he didn't want to leave and made a scene when they didn't find you.
- I see...
I admit, I didn't expect it... Although, if I remember my childhood...
"Brother? Let's be heroes! Like Almighty!"
"Don't get in the way, little one..."
I often pushed him away. As a child, he would try to follow me, and then he would start biting and fighting...
- Ha-ah... - I don't know why I remembered this.
- He didn't let anyone carry you and even tried to drive me away...
I sighed again and then looked towards the door:
- Thank you... both of you.
- Huh? Nothing! You scared us so much! But, you defeated so many villains. Thanks to you, almost no one got hurt! Only Midoriya, Aizawa-sensei, and All Might... Everyone is very grateful to you! Even the heroes appreciated your actions. While we were trying to do something, you did everything for us... - in the end, she lowered her voice and blushed.
So that's what happened? Lost consciousness... Not the best outcome.
Standing up, I asked:
— I was discharged, right?
Momo nodded.
- Yes. Healing Girl said that when you wake up, you will be able to walk.
And when I started to rise:
- I... I'll see you out!
- Huh?
- Well, so what? You always see me off, even though it's clearly not your way! I know you were deceiving me...
- Ahem... Okay. Where are my things?
- Oh, I'll get it now! - Momo was surprisingly very caring. She didn't say anything to me and just smiled constantly, as if she believed that it would make me feel even better. Well, she was right. I felt pretty good, I was just thinking about all sorts of things...
Afterwards we headed home, checking in with the Healing Girl one last time. However, on the way out...
"Koji!"
- Brother!
- Are you okay, Koji-kun?
All my classmates were here... Except Katsuki. I was even a little taken aback. And Momo was surprised too.
- Guys?
- What are you doing... - I had already started looking for a way out.
"Koji, we came to thank you and tell you that you are a true hero!" Iida stepped forward:
"What you did today helped all the guys..." and then for some reason he felt awkward.
I realized that he probably felt uneasy because he wasn't fighting. So...
- You did no less, Iida. Without you, help would not have come. You are no less a hero than I am.
- Huh? T-thank you...
Denki came out next:
- Ha-ha, come on. Anyway, Koji, we came to say...
- Thank you! - Ashido interrupted him: - You're cool!
I felt awkward too...
The guys thanked me. Not all of them, of course, but... They probably don't know that they would have done great even without me? I just took all their glory and experience for myself. I'm anyone, but I'm definitely not a hero. And I didn't plan to be one. But I have to admit, it raised my spirits quite a bit, and it will definitely be useful in the future.
Overall, I won a lot today, and not just in terms of points.
I came home in the evening and the first thing I did was...
"Katsuki," he knocked on his door.
But in response he received a dissatisfied:
- What do you want, idiot?
I just wanted to say one thing:
- For today... Thank you, brother.
The only answer was silence.
Hm? What was he thinking?
In the end, I just turned around and decided to leave.
But just then...
- Don't lose again! Lose again and I'll stop calling you brother!
I turned around... My eyebrow twitched.
Well... Just his style.
Well, that answer suited me too.
Well, I guess it's time to get back to my business. My school glory and the girls can wait. The first encounter with the League of Villains is over, which means the Sports Festival is coming soon, which I definitely couldn't lose. Finally, I'll get to train with normal Quirk users. Let's hope I get a mission there too.
There are at least two things I need to do in this time. Decide which quirk to take next and take care of my mommy. There's still a fair amount of time before the festival, so I should be able to handle it. Plus, it's already the weekend, my birthday is coming up... It's about time.
Side objectives would be training and slowly influencing cute classmates. And it wasn't worth forgetting about developing a relationship with Momo.
Returning to the room, the first thing I did was take the reward for today's task.
[First battle. Special mission. Successfully completed!
Condition for completion: defeat the villains.
Reward: 43,000 System Points. Strength Upgrade x1, Endurance Upgrade x1, Talent Upgrade x1, Stamina Upgrade x1]
The rewards were quite worthy. After receiving them, my body, as usual, shook, and then a pleasant warmth spread everywhere, followed by a slight chill.
My stats immediately increased, and my balance increased with points...

Yeah, it hasn't been that long since I joined UA, and this is what I've accomplished. If things continue like this, I'll be able to give Tomura a proper fight by the time I run into him again. The Nomu are definitely too tough for me, but I could handle someone else. Especially if they're Shigaraki's henchmen. I hope I haven't attracted his attention, because that would be inopportune...
