Chapter 67: Peaceful day
When everyone was on the bus, he also entered the bus along with Momo.
The seats on the bus were quite unique. It was different from the double seats. Instead, it had bench-like seats in the middle for four people, four double seats in the back area, and lastly, the bench-like seat right on the back.
Naturally, there was also a front seat, but it was used by Aizawa.
Mineta sat on the seat at the back with Sero, Shoji, and Koji Soda.
On the other hand, Momo sat with Uraraka on the double-seat chairs.
Leaving Momo aside, his relationship with the three guys beside him was pretty good.
Sero, Ojiro, and Soda were all friendly, and they didn't have any strange personalities, such as the few people in his classroom. Honestly, they were all normal, but this normalness made him comfortable.
"Hey, hey, Mineta-kun!"
He looked up and saw Hagakure in front of him. "Hagakure-san, if you look back like this, you might get motion sickness."
"You don't need to worry! I am strong!" Hagakure somehow showed confidence that he wasn't sure where this confidence came from.
He wasn't sure if she realized that her actions caused her breasts to sway around, but he decided to keep quiet about this matter. Honestly, he still remembered her body well since she took off all of her clothes during the Battle Trial.
"Ugh, my head is dizzy..."
However, soon Hagakure felt dizzy and held her head.
"It's because you don't listen to me." He was speechless. "Sit quietly first. Take this mineral water. Drink it." He took out his tumbler and gave it to Hagakure.
"Tha-Thanks..." Hagakure, who was dizzy, took his tumbler and drank the mineral water slowly, feeling a bit better.
Naturally, he had used his "Support Drink" ability, but with only limited effect.
"Thank you. I feel better now, Mineta-kun." Hagakure returned the tumbler and thanked him, but she didn't learn her lesson and turned her head at him again.
"It's okay." He put his tumbler back and asked, "So what's wrong?"
"I have heard that you have been dating since middle school. Is that true?" Hagakure asked shyly. Even if her face couldn't be seen, from her gesture, it was easy to tell she was blushing.
"...how did you know?"
"I heard it from Shiozaki-san before since we talked to each other during lunch."
He thought that girls had always talked about romance which made him sigh.
"We started dating at the beginning of our third year, so it has been almost a year since we have been dating."
"Eh? You two have been dating that long?" Sero was surprised.
"Unexpectedly."
While it might seem fast, he knew he had lived in this world for a year. It was also almost a year after his anniversary with Ibara, so he thought he should take her on a date to celebrate their anniversary.
"Leaving my relationship aside, how about you, Hagakure-san? Do you have a boyfriend? You're cute, after all."
"Eh? Am I cute?" Hagakure was shy.
"Of course." Mineta nodded confidently.
However, the people who heard Mineta's words were speechless.
Cute?
How did he know that?
Why didn't they know?
Oh, right!
Hagakure was invisible!
"How did you know she is cute, Mineta?" Sero was speechless.
"Sero-kun, you won't get a girlfriend in high school!" Hagakure cursed Sero cruelly.
"What?!"
He looked at Sero and thought that while this guy wasn't bad, he lacked a delicacy. "Let's just ignore Sero, Hagakure-san."
"Okay."
"....." Sero.
"So?"
"Well, I don't have it, and I don't have any experience, but I want to have one in the future..." Hagakure said shyly, but she would be lying if she wasn't worried that she wouldn't get one, considering her body and all.
"Well, that guy will be lucky if he can get you as a girlfriend." He nodded.
"Eh? Really?" Hagakure was surprised by his words.
"Still, you don't need to be in a hurry since everything has a process, but if you feel that you have found the right one, then don't hesitate since it is better to regret after doing it instead of not doing anything."
When he thought about this, he wasn't sure how to describe his emotion.
Should he not be doing anything to Kendo that day?
However, if he didn't do that, he might not understand how important Ibara was to him. His way of thinking wouldn't change, and he would always think of Ibara as a way to gain points from the system.
Lastly, he also knew it would be awkward between him and Kendo if he rejected her advance.
Suddenly, he felt dating two girls was a good thing since he kept harmony between everyone, and he also became stronger at the same time.
"..........."
He felt conflicted somehow.
"Wah~! I feel embarrassed somehow."
"Don't get embarrassed. I am more embarrassed if you say that."
"Sorry, sorry." Hagakure stuck her tongue cutely, even if she was invisible.
The two talked to each other for a while before she said, "Then, can I talk with you again?"
"...why are you so formal?" He was quite speechless by Hagakure's reservation. Still, he could see that the group in the middle area seemed to mention his name, but he ignored them.
"Ugh... I am not sure, even myself..."
Honestly, this guy was so handsome that she couldn't help but get all giddy and nervous with him. Still, when they talked, it felt nice and comfortable, but it was her fault since she didn't have much experience talking to a guy.
He chuckled and said, "It's okay. We're classmates, after all. If you want to talk, just talk."
"Okay~!"
She was relieved and happy when she heard his answer.
Still, the guys and some guys stared at the interaction between them while wondering why they seemed so chummy.
"What's wrong, Yoayorozu-san?" Uraraka looked at Momo, who seemed to be in a weird state.
"No, no. I am okay."
Momo didn't give a clear answer, only looked at the window while pouting.
However, their conversation was quickly drowned by Bakugou's roar.
Mineta looked out the window and thought the world was as peaceful as it could be.
'Hopefully, this day can continue.'
Soon after, they arrived at the facility where they would perform their Trial of Rescue.
When he saw the facility, he couldn't help but murmur, "Just how rich is Yuuei?"
"Now, that question also makes me curious," Tokoyami was also dumbfounded by how grand this facility was.
Somehow the thought of becoming a teacher in this school didn't feel that bad since he knew Nezu would give his employee the greatest bonus and income.
"Amazing, is this U.S.J (Universal Studio Japan)?"
He could hear their exclaim and wondered why they didn't mistake this place for Disneyland.
'Oh, right, there's no mouse mascot!'
Anyway, a teacher in a spacesuit came in and explained this facility to everyone.
"Floods, landslides, fires, etc., etc. This is a practical training arena that Yuuei created to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters, and its name is the "Unforeseen Simulation Joint!"
'It's really U.S.J.....' Everyone.
While the rest was speechless, suddenly, two childish voices sounded.
"It's the space hero "No. 13! He's a gentlemanly hero who does phenomenal work helping with disaster relief!"
Midoriya quickly explained with his textbook-like explanation, showing his otaku-like knowledge.
"Wow, I always love No. 13!" Uraraka beamed with happiness.
Still, he felt confused by Midoriya's explanation.
He?
Wasn't No. 13 a woman?
<Anan Kurose>
<Charm: 7>
<Pass!>
Still, No. 13 might hide her gender, so he didn't intend to press it further.
"Is 13 famous Uraraka-san?" He couldn't help but ask this cute girl next door.
"Of course!" Uraraka nodded and showed a bright smile while explaining how awesome No. 13 was. She also explained the Quirk of No. 13 was a "Black Hole." She was capable of sucking any material into the vortex, turning them into dust.
While he listened to Uraraka's explanation, suddenly Midoriya joined, telling him how useful this "Quirk" was for removing wrecks and saving injured people from disasters. But while the two were ignorant, he was dumbfounded by how dangerous No. 13's Quirk was!
Black Hole.
From the name alone, one could tell how dangerous it was, right?
He glanced at the rest, and they didn't seem to realize how dangerous No. 13's Quirk was. Instead, they listened to the explanation of Uraraka and Midoriya. Still, he listened carefully, looking at Uraraka while nodding from time to time.
As for Midoriya, he decided to ignore him.
While they talked about No. 13, Aizawa and No. 13 talked about why All-Might wasn't around.
He couldn't hear their conversation, but he could tell All-Might wouldn't come. Yet, at this moment, he didn't have any strange thoughts on his mind and only listened to Uraraka. Still, while Uraraka was nice, he hoped that Midoriya wouldn't interrupt them since this guy's mouth was just aggravating.
Fortunately, No. 13 stopped them from talking since she had something to announce. She told them about her "Quirk" and how dangerous it was, causing everyone to become quiet, but then she also explained what the Trial of Rescue was about.
Even though it was only a few days they were in school, they learned many things.
From how Aizawa described their true potential and how the Trial of Battle told them how dangerous it was to brandish one's power to another.
As for All-Might, he felt this number one hero didn't teach him anything, especially when he let Midoriya into such wrecked ruin.
"Now, let's study how to wield our "Quirk" for the sake of human life! Your "Quirks" empathically do not exist to hurt others! Please leave this exercise to understand that your "Quirk" exists to help people!"
"That was awesome!"
"Bravo! Bravo!"
While everyone was amazed by No. 13's speech, he was attracted by something in the center of the "U.S.J."
'Huh?'
A dark fog suddenly emerged from that spot, and something, no, people emerged from it.
"Sensei, what's that?"
He still hoped that it was part of the lesson.
Aizawa wanted to reprimand Mineta, but when he saw his expression, he followed his gaze and felt a rush of blood that filled his head.
"Don't move! Gather together!"
Aizawa roared, but everyone still couldn't understand the situation and was in a daze, clearly confused.
"No. 13 protect the student!"
"What's that? Is this part of the lesson?"
"Don't move!" Aizawa put on his goggles and said, "Those are the villains!"
