- I walked through the door like a normal person!
I could barely resist doing the famous hand-face gesture.
- Cool!
- It's the Almighty!
- And he walked through the door!
That's the kind of exclamation that began to echo around me, apparently the people around me didn't notice the embarrassment that hero number one was feeling about entering the office as a teacher. Although, no, judging from Tsuyu's look, she also understood.
- So now, you will all put on your hero costumes and I will be waiting for you on pad five!
With a sigh, I turned the dial on my bracelet and the nanobots immediately changed their shape so that I was now in the hero costume of Spider-Man. An armoured suit, the only one I have right now. However, the armour is not achieved by the armour attachments as in some comic book issues, but by the exact material they were transformed into. The material was developed by me and patented by me. The patent is open to Yuei, so I suspect that many heroes will soon have suits made of this material. Although they'll cost a lot of money.
- Young Midoriya, are you ready?!
- Yeah...
- Then why don't we walk to the playground together?
- Do you mind if my girlfriend joins us?
The Almighty glanced at Tsuyu who had already changed her uniform into a hero costume with the help of nanites.
- I don't mind...
He sighed, and we slowly walked towards the playground. Slowly, because our classmates still had to get to the locker rooms, change, and from the locker rooms to the playground.
We walked in silence for a while...
- You know...
The Almighty glanced at me and was the first to break the silence.
- ...I'm grateful to you. After your help...''
He cast a brief glance at Tsui.
- ...Director Yuei has arranged with several other experts and now the time has doubled even more! It's now twelve o'clock!
- I'm happy for you.
The Almighty stopped and looked at me.
- Without you, this would have been impossible to achieve....
I shrugged my shoulders.
- I did what I had to do. Helping you has already made me a hero... because you were able to do your calling more effectively afterwards, which means the percentage of those saved has grown. Thanks to me.
- Ho-ho-ho-ho! You're absolutely right!
We continued on our way.
- Say...
He cast a quick glance at Tsuyu, who realised his predicament and after half a minute had moved far enough away for the Almighty to speak, lowering his tone to a whisper.
- Could you do the inspection again?
- Is there anything else you hope I can do?
- Frankly speaking yes.
He stretched his hand forward and clenched his fist with force.
- After your help, I've partially regained my form, but I'm still far from the ideal that will allow me to use one hundred per cent of my quirk without consequences, and Healing Girl says that I won't be able to regain my form completely....
He sighed.
- I can examine...
I shook my head.
- But it's pointless for now.
- But...
- Almighty, finish the recovery with traditional methods first. Let them tell you frankly that they can't do MORE.
I look him carefully in the eye.
- Because my help will be to implant the nanites. After that, there's nothing you can do.
- But it's faster...
The Almighty looked at me with a helpless look.
- Faster...
I nodded my head.
- ...but the best results require the best initial parameters. Are you willing to forfeit ten per cent? Not even five per cent of the possible power?
He chewed his lip, his eyes glittered with stubborn determination, and he shook his head.
- No... you're right, I'll do my best to keep recovering and then I'll come to you.
I nodded.
- And then I'll help levelling what others can't fix.
- Thank you...
We caught up with Tsuyu and continued towards the site.
After about fifteen minutes, the others began to arrive. And they were extremely excited, discussing each other's costumes in high-pitched tones.
Yuga Aoyama was wearing a steel cuirass with shoulder pads and knee-high steel boots, at least it looked that way. Though I doubt it was steel, more like some sort of clever polymer. On the shoulders, stomach and knees there were some sort of lenses, but the only one that wasn't fake was the one in the stomach area. Most likely to help concentrate his Bellybutton Laser. Everything that wasn't covered by the armour was clad in black robes, reminiscent of the cuts that Geralt should have worn before meeting Emgyr, and he also had a cloak of... Purple? Colour, and covered in something that looked like glitter. Eyes covered by reddish wing-shaped goggles.
Mina Ashido was wearing some sort of tight sweatpants that went over a tank top. She wore a sort of sleeveless jacket with a fur-like collar. The upper part of her face was covered by a mask....
Unusual...
But with her personality, a mask wasn't necessary. There was a very small chance that she would be able to hide her identity.
Did Shadow Iida in his tailpipe armour look like some kind of Autobot or Decepticon? Though, no, he's a hero, which means the Autobot comparison is still more appropriate.
Ochako Uraraka's suit resembled an astronaut's spacesuit. But not a real one, but one that is so fondly depicted in films about the distant future. Unless it was pink in colour, but that's just a matter of imagination.
Mashirao Ojiro was wearing what looked like a martial arts kimono....
Denki Kaminari looked like a rocker in leather trousers and jacket with blue glasses and a strange device on his arm.
Eijiro Kirishima looked like some kind of barbarian in his costume. Black trousers with what looked like the bottom of his cloak torn over it. High boots, strange shoulder pads, and a mask....
Koji Koda was like wearing a red-orange coloured tracksuit with an image of... like teeth on his chest.
Rikido Sato looked like some kind of wrestler from the silly costumes they so often like to show off on TV.
Mezo Shoji, this guy dressed in a tight jumpsuit and a mask.
Kyoka Jiro, she was dressed like a rocker in a black jacket and trousers made of leather, but underneath there was a short pink dress or was it just a long T-shirt?
Hanta Sero, he looked like a motorbike racer.
Fumikage Tokoyami was wearing a black cloak that hid everything but his black boots.
Shoto Todoroki was wearing a plain blue jumpsuit.
Toru Hagakure was simply wearing gloves and trainers. That is, considering her quirk was completely naked....
I felt my elbow hit my side and threw a glance at Tsuyu.
- Don't stare at the naked girl...
- Я...
- Don't be dissuaded, I'm looking in her direction myself and the thought of her being naked is wandering around in my head right now. And I hope I know you well enough to know what you're thinking when you see those trainers and gloves floating in the air.
- I wasn't thinking of saying no... just wondering how quickly others will realise it?
- We're not gonna embarrass the girl, are we?
And you could hear the exact opposite in her voice... she really wanted to embarrass the audience and embarrass Tora by approaching her and asking her a question about her nudity right in the crowd....
- We definitely won't...
Despite my words, I fully approved of Tsuyu's plan with my tone, and so with a nod, she walked towards those approaching and stopped right in front of Toru, blocking her path and tilting her head to the side thoughtfully.
- Y-yes?
- It must be very comfortable for you...
- А?
A look of incomprehension could be heard in the girl's voice.
- Y-yes?
Tsuyu nodded her head at that answer.
- Are you an exhibitionist?
- HUH? NO!
- Nudist?
- NO!
The panic in Toru's voice intensified.
- But you're completely naked...
The crowd fell silent dumbfounded, shifting their gaze from Tsuyu to Toru's gloves.
- I... That... I didn't....
Tsuyu nodded her head and approached me again.
Katsuki Bakugo, that guy is dressed up in an incomprehensible outfit with grenades on his hands, and weird shoulder pads....
Grenades!
Fucking grenades!
No, I realise they're probably devices that will concentrate explosions... But grenades?! For a hero?! Are you serious?! He looks like a villain! However... considering his character and the cry he threw the ball with... it suits him, as long as he chooses the right name afterwards. I think he'll even have his own fans...
The last one was Momo Yaoyorozu. She was wearing a short skirt or shorts, hidden by a very wide belt. This skirt-shorts passed into a blouse with a slit from the navel.
Beautiful...
I think if it wasn't for Tsuyu, she would be....
A sharp elbow hit her in the side again.
- Now Momo?
I chuckled.
- Yeah you know me...
- Naturally.
- And yes... in her costume....
- Second place... Though... she'll be sharing it with Ochako...''
I shook my head.
- Don't you agree?
I shrugged.
- You're definitely first, but if you don't count you since you're already mine...''
Tsuyu nodded encouragingly.
- ... then Tora will definitely be first, Kyeka will be second, and Momo will be third, most likely sharing it with Mina.
- Hm...
Tsuyu looked at the named girls and shook her head.
- I don't agree... though there's no option with Toru.
I grinned.
- Well, we don't have to have the same opinion on everything.
- Yeah...
- Listen...
Toru came over to us and tugged Tsuyu's arm.
- Yes?
Toru had just managed to get rid of everyone's attention and now obviously didn't really want to attract everyone's attention so she spoke very quietly.
- Why did you do that?
Tsuyu shrugged her shoulders.
- I was curious...
- But it was possible to find out and....
- You didn't understand her...
I draw the invisible woman's attention to myself.
- ...She was curious to see your reaction.
- А...
- Tora, with your quirk, you only have two choices...
- Two?
- Yes... at least I see two. The first is to follow Midnight's path...
- No!
I shrugged.
- And the second is to try to take control of the force. And that's something I can try to help with. But it's going to require a little examination.
- i...
- Agree... Izuku Smart.
- Can I think about it?
- Sure.
I shrugged my shoulders.
