Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Clarent excalibur; I'm glad that you did~ Yeah, Keita and Tsuyu seemed to have quite the teamwork~ Itsuka is going to have a good role during the Sports Festival, and she very well could be paired with Keita during that~
lord web of life of destiny; They're getting closer. It might be interesting, I personally could see them only being eventual friends than lovers.
InnocentxPsycho; I have many times before, just need a good premise to start. Luna is actually one of my favourite characters, so if I did a story, I'd have the Oc paired with at least her.
Kaiserguardian; Thanks. Yeah, they had some good teamwork huh. Thanks! Yeah, Eri needs to be protected. Overhaul is a good villain. Tokoyami's a character I do quite like. Yeah, I try my best with that.
CPU-BLANC-WHITE HEART; Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed those fights~ Keita will show a number of different ways to use his Quirk through the stories. Hmm, we'll have to wait and see~
NinjaFang1331; Thanks!
Weebshitt; Thanks very much! Yeah, I try to make them unique as much as I can~
ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! Yeah, they showed great teamwork together~ They did yeah, working together managed to pay off for them. Yup, Himiko and Mina used tactics to get the better hand of the opponents. Yup, Tokoyami and Keita are gonna become good friends. He tried to help her the best that he could~
Guest 1; She probably will do~
Eavise; Thanks for the suggestions! I have a few names right now, I don't know which one to give yet. That would be cool~
Guest 2; Yeah, that sounds like a great idea for a fic! I have always liked ice powers. Juvia's one of my favourites too~ That would be cool if he had an Exceed all his own. Yup, those keys would be great~
Silver crow; Thanks. Yup, those were the opponents! Yeah, if he could touch it, Momo was just wondering how they'd win. Keita and Tokoyami have a good developing friendship. It was yeah, and Keita's gonna find out more in this chapter. Eri is adored by pretty much everyone~ I'm glad you liked it~ It isn't unlimited, but he had been doing it to Keita for years, so he's got a good deal stored up. Keita did say he could do it if he so desired~ Eri does have quite a lot of faith in him. Since it was stuck to the walls, it would have alerted Tokoyami and Sero. Yup, they won their fight! Eri did yeah, she seems quite at ease with him~ Yeah, Himiko and Mina did quite well together~ She probably will do. Well you never know if he does get any what they'd be like. They could have similar Quirks, we've seen it in the story before. It would be a great way to honour Sir Nighteye. Yeah, maybe he could get something like that. I suppose he could yeah. He'd probably help Eri yeah. I don't know yet, he'll probably be with Ochaco. Yeah maybe~ I'm sure Eri would be yeah~
Jojo fan; Thanks very much! Aah, I can't reveal that, if I did a story based on them, spoilers and all. I'd throw in some twists and turns. If it would be a harem or not, I don't know, I'd have to think what would be best. And thanks very much!
Guest 3; That would be a cool match up!
6U35T; Thanks for the suggestions!
Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
The Class President election!
The morning after the battle trials, Keita slept peacefully in his bed, with Katsuki's eyes beginning to wake up.
Stirring in bed, she couldn't move much when she realized something.
Keita had fallen asleep on her bust. Though she had her bra on, his head was very clearly pressed against the side of her chest. He looked rather peaceful in his sleep, she couldn't help the smile that was coming to her face.
But, as she looked at him, she could see that more scars were on his shoulders, and upper body.
It seemed like someone had taken a knife, and just hacked at him time and time again.
She had to wonder more on how that happened, who would want to do that to him.
But, she knew that he'd not explain, he couldn't explain right now.
Her eyes scanned the area, seeing various things that Keita had in his room. From video games, Manga and anime. She also saw some stuff that looked like kid drawings around, she presumed it was Eri that had made it for him.
She lightly smiled at that…
But then, in the corner, she saw that there was something else there.
It was a picture.
When she looked closer, she saw it was two boys, one was Keita, and though she didn't know it, the other was Kai.
But when they were much younger.
Keita looked the age Eri was right now.
She wondered who that was with him.
They looked quite a bit alike…
"Is that his brother?" She mused in her mind. "But...he's never mentioned anything with his brother before. And he doesn't live with him...I guess maybe he also was one of the reasons he lives with Sir Nighteye..."
As she was thinking about it, she felt Keita stirring.
She looked down and saw that he was smiling.
Her fingers lightly brushed against his face, his eyes slowly peeling open.
When looking up at her, he gained a wide smile.
"Morning my angry kitten~"
Katsuki gave a bemused look down towards Keita. The boy continued to smile, which drew a smile out of her in the end, and allowed her smooth fingers to gently caress the side of his right cheek, dragging her fingers slowly, elegantly until she reached his hair, and allowed said fingers to run through his hair.
"Morning, Kei."
Keita stretched his body as he leaned up to meet her face. His eyes overlooked the young woman's body, and then focused in on her face.
"How are you feeling Kacchan? After everything that happened yesterday?"
Katsuki shrugged.
"It is what it is, now that I've thought about it, it doesn't piss me off as much. I still have questions, but they can wait for the moment."
Keita wondered if that was true, or if she was still processing it all.
Either way, he was glad that she was at least trying to move on from it, and take it in a rational way.
"Kacchan, sleeping next to you was amazing. I haven't slept so good in a little while."
Katsuki lightly smirked, allowing her fingers to gently go through his hair.
"I'm gonna have to go home soon, to get some clothes for today."
"Then, let me walk you home."
Katsuki gave a small smirk.
Though she wouldn't admit it, she found it sweet.
"It's fine."
"Are you sure? I don't mind."
Katsuki shook her head, leaning down so her head placed itself onto Keita's chest.
His eyes looked down at the young girl, before his hand reached her own.
"I'll see you at school anyway."
"Okay...but, when do you have to go?"
Katsuki looked to her phone, and saw the time.
"I've got time yet."
"Great~"
Keita and Katsuki just laid there in their current shared bed. Feeling the warmth of one another.
Though eventually they'd have to move, they for the moment decided to just stay with one another, enjoying one another's company.
Once he was ready and Katsuki had left, Keita went to go and wake up Eri.
Knocking on her door, he waited for a few moments, before he heard a cute "C-Come in." so he did just that, and saw that Eri was sat on the bed, looking at him in a cute way.
"Good morning Eri-chan~ Ready for some breakfast~?"
Eri always loved breakfast.
Especially if Keita made it.
She had grown to love his food in new and exciting ways.
"Yes...but, Kei-chan, you're going to school again...I'll try really hard today...to stay at home with Sir Nighteye-san..."
Seeing her adorable expression, Keita gave a bemused look.
"I see, so you're not going to come with me?"
Eri nodded.
She didn't want to be any kind of burden.
She wanted to show Keita that she could be strong too.
"I'll try really hard Kei-chan..."
Keita could see that she truly was trying.
"I understand." Keita adopts a small smile, and raises his arms above his head, stretching. "I had already made your boxed lunch though, and it seems that everyone in the class wanted to see you as well..." Eri's eyes grew larger as Keita moved closer. "So, you're not going then Eri-chan?"
Eri didn't have to think about it.
If she had the go ahead already, then she was going to do her best.
"Kei-chan...y-yes, I'll go!"
Keita clapped his hands together.
"Great! Then it's time to get dressed and get ready to leave! But not before having breakfast~"
Keita cheered, exciting Eri even more.
She was glad that she didn't have to worry now, and she'd be able to go with Keita now.
Keita himself could see how happy she was, and he was glad that he could make that happen.
Later on, Keita, Himiko, and Eri who had met up with Katsuki walked to the school. Upon arrival though, Keita could see a mass gathering outside, it seemed to be journalists and people from the local television stations. They were questioning students as they walked on by, Eri looked uo to Keita curiously.
"Kei-chan, what are they doing?"
"Erm...I guess that they want to find out some news...maybe it's to do with All Might, the media seem to love him."
Himiko folded her arms.
"You're probably right, seems a bit odd now that they're doing it."
"It doesn't matter, they're just small fries anyway. Lets push past them."
Katsuki explained, so that's what they did.
Walking to the gates, a number of reporters tried to get comments, but each had a unique reply to them.
"I'm sorry, please excuse us~"
"Hehe, if I get on TV, will I become famous~?"
"Move it you idiots or else!"
Keita tried to be polite, Himiko did a small pose for the cameras, while Katsuki threatened them with intense gazes.
They jumped at the threat Katsuki gave them, allowing them to get through.
Though as they walked, Keita felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't like it, he knew something was wrong.
His eyes turned back to the crowd...but couldn't see anything.
Becoming suspicious, Keita merely walked through the gates, unaware for the most part that someone indeed was watching him from a distance.
A light smile came to their face, before disappearing into the darkness...
In the class, most of the students were already there, and were talking casually to one another. Katsuki and Himiko entered together, their eyes locked onto one another's, and wouldn't allow their eyes to fall for even a moment.
Izuku saw that Keita wasn't with either of them, and he found it rather strange.
"Kacchan, good-"
"Don't talk to me."
Izuku winced as she walked to Keita's desk.
"E-Eh...erm...b-but, where is...Keita-kun this morning?"
"He's coming."
Izuku raised an eyebrow,it seemed that Katsuki was feeling back to normal. Whatever Keita had said, it seemed to have worked.
Half a minute later Keita came into the classroom, with Eri clinging to his hand, wearing her usual red dress, and carrying her bag. Upon seeing her, a number of students cooed, including Mina who waved.
"Morning Keita-kun! Eri-chan!"
"Good morning!"
Keita replied with a wave, Eri also gave a slightly shy wave, Mina looked happy by that little move. They continued walking through the classroom, with many members of the class greeting them, even Tokoyami greeted Eri in a surprisingly upbeat (at least for Tokoyami) tone, which drew a cute smile from the young girl.
Making it to their seat, Keita sat down with Eri hopping onto his lap in an instant.
Eri looked up to Keita, who smiled back down towards her.
"Crazy outside, wasn't it?"
Kirishima said as he came over.
"I know, so many people. Do you think they were here for All Might?"
Keita asked Kirishima who shrugged.
"I guess, I was only asked about how I liked being in U.A before I was dragged off by Ashido."
As he said it, Momo rose from her seat, from behind Keita, and leaned forward.
"I must confess, it was rather wild earlier, I even saw people fighting."
"About what?"
At Keita's question, Momo shrugged.
"It seemed to be just a disagreement, I saw some of our Sensei's having to break it up."
Keita gave a curious stare, and then continued speaking with them for a short while...
Aizawa soon came into the room. His lazy eyes went over each of the people in the class. He seemed to be rather tired, something that Keita couldn't help but feel. He looked between each of the students, before looking towards Katsuki.
"Bakugo..."
"I already know."
Aizawa raised an eyebrow.
"Even if you do, what happened yesterday needs to be reflected upon." Katsuki bows her head and doesn't say anything. Aizawa's eyes turn to Izuku. "Your Quirk still seems to damage you quite well. It's time to begin reflecting on your own power."
"Y-Yes...you're right Sensei."
"Good. Now, as you're beginning the school year, it's required to pick a President for the class, and Vice President-"
No sooner than the words left his lips, a number of students raised their hands like lightning bolts shooting up.
"Pick me, I'll do it easy!"
Kirishima said while jabbing a thumb to himself.
"I'll take it! Maybe I'll become popular with the ladies~"
Kaminari raised his hand as he said it.
"Yeah, you're going to need me."
Jiro showed a passive expression, but Himiko could easily tell that Jiro would be quite pleased to be picked.
"Someone with more style would be-"
"I'm totally the right pick for this you guys! Choose me, Mina, for President!"
Mina cut off Aoyama, and showed her fantastic grin.
More and more students began talking up and how they wanted the job, Eri looked on with a perplexed face, looking towards Keita.
"Kei-chan, what's this President stuff?"
"To my understanding, a President of a class is someone that takes care of the classes needs, makes sure the voice of the students is heard, on field trips they help the class be organized, and they do lots of stuff for the class...I think anyway. Since I've never been to school, I think that's what it is...still, how is one even picked?"
As Keita spoke to Eri, Katsuki looked curiously even more.
She kept wondering what kind of life Keita had before their meeting, how those scars appeared on his arms and body.
Tenya raised his hand.
"How are we going to choose who is President? Are you going to choose for us Aizawa-sensei?"
Aizawa wore a tired look, and merely said "Decide amongst yourselves, highest votes win." and then quickly handed out some papers, before going back to his desk.
Keita looked around the class, and wondered who he should vote for.
Eri though raised her hand, and got Aizawa's attention.
"Red Eyes-sensei."
Aizawa raised an eyebrow as Keita glances at Katsuki knowingly.
"Kacchan..."
"What? He has red eyes when using his Quirk! It isn't like I'm teaching her the bad ones. Like Frog...woman."
She smirks, and lightly pets Eri's head as Eri continued.
"Erm...Red Eyes-sensei...I'd like to vote for Kei-chan please!"
Tenya immediately looked astonished for a few moments.
But then he blinked rapidly.
"B-But...y-you're not apart of this class..."
Keita's eyes shoot for Tenya immediately.
Tenya even jumped at the look Keita gave him.
It was like a Father, or a brother, protecting someone they cherished, like their child or little sister.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Tenya began to sweat, as more and more students turned towards him.
It seemed almost everyone in the class had now turned to Tenya and gave him a glare.
"Yeah, are you implying Eri isn't apart of this class!?"
Katsuki demanded, as Himiko giggled.
"Awww, don't say such things~ Eri-chan's a major part of the class~"
"Yeah, Eri-chan is like our mascot!"
Kaminari cheered, Mina nodding wholeheartedly.
"Of course she is, she's a little darling~ She must be protected at all costs~"
Izuku raises his hand slightly.
"Y-Yes...even I think that Eri-san is apart of the class..."
Momo smiles at Eri.
"I can't help but admit that Eri-san also does bring happiness to the class, I'd say she's just as much apart of it as anyone else."
"She's Number 21 in our class, aren't you Eri-chan~?"
Keita cheers out, Eri looks up, and around at the class, and puts her hands cutely together.
"Kei-chan...everyone really likes me..."
"Of course they do, what isn't there to like about you Eri-chan~?"
Eri lets out a cute giggle, melting the hearts of everyone around, even Shoto had to admit that she was quite the cute and kind girl, and got even more happy to see Eri hugging Keita around his neck sweetly, and he hugged her back.
Tsuyu raises a finger to her lips curiously.
"Iida-chan, it seems the class agrees that Eri-chan's vote counts, and she is apart of the class."
Tenya whimpers, seeing each member of the class, just about, was giving him stares or glares.
Even Shoto just stared at him questioningly.
"E-Eh...n-no! What I meant was….she could have my vote if she wasn't allowed to vote!"
Most thought "Nice save." and continued writing their votes. Keita himself continued wondering who he should vote for, and eventually, he knew who he wanted, so he wrote down the vote, and continued on looking rather pleased.
Then, the results came in soon afterwards, Keita looked at the results, as Aizawa gave a bewildered look.
"Eri got 20 votes….so everyone voted for Eri."
Aizawa looked baffled, so Keita took Eri's hands, and raised them to the sky.
"Eri-chan, you're the Class President~"
"Yes, I'll do my best~"
Aizawa gave a strained look.
"Eh...a child couldn't be the Class President, but she can support the Class President. I'm sorry."
"We kinda figured."
Mina began, Toru excitedly waved her arms up and down.
"That's why we all put two votes on it each~ Our vote for Eri-chan and the vote for the other person we voted for~"
"Still...Eri-san being the Class President wouldn't be so bad. It would be unique."
Shoto said while glancing towards Keita.
Keita himself gave a soft hearted expression, something Shoto curiously looked at.
Aizawa gave thoughtful looks to the class.
Keita also looked over the class, seeing how they wanted to include Eri in the class, something Keita also figured out by the expressions on their faces, or in their eyes for a few towards Eri.
He could also see Eri looked rather happy, so he was also very happy for her, knowing that she felt welcomed, accepted.
Aizawa then counted the other votes.
Looking through them, he raised his eyebrows.
"So...it seems that Chisaki got the most votes."
"Kei-chan's Class President, I'll support Kei-chan."
Eri said while giving Keita a soft smile.
Keita gazed down at the young girl, seeing her smiling expression, then shrugged his shoulders.
"Aah, if you're supporting me Eri-chan, then I couldn't possibly refuse. But I'm surprised...people voted for me huh...I've never been voted for in anything, I've never won anything like this before...a popularity thing...I didn't know I was popular~"
Himiko smiled at Keita, and thought it was rather sweet that he thought like that.
It showed that he was still quite humble.
And it made sense to her, since he was locked away with Kai for a good portion of his life, this must be a new experience in of itself. The fact that people recognized him as someone important, as someone that they could look and turn to and have confidence in.
Katsuki gave a curious look.
"You've never been voted for anything before?"
"No, I didn't go to school before this one, remember?"
Katsuki became more curious as to what his existence was like before they had met, what had happened to him.
Keita then saw the Vice President, and was happy to see that it was Izuku. Izuku looked baffled, and his eyes went between Keita, and other students in the class.
"I see, so it's you two is it? Then you're the President and Vice President."
"B-But I don't know if I could do it!"
Izuku raised his concerns, Keita gave an intrigued look.
"Why not Izuku-kun? I'm sure All Might would approve~"
Izuku's face dropped, as Keita continued giving a smile.
Izuku had to wonder, did Keita truly know about One For All?
"A-All Might?"
"Yes, your Hero, right? Your favourite Hero. I thought you'd be happy to have the praise of All Might, he'd definitely support anyone in anything they'd want to do."
Izuku took a relieved breath.
He believed he knew what Keita meant now.
Katsuki looked at the votes that Izuku got, seeing that it was three.
She looked between the class, and saw Ochaco looking towards Izuku.
She guessed that Ochaco was one, she guessed Izuku voted for himself, and she didn't know the third.
"Hey Kei, did you vote for Deku?"
"No, I voted for someone else."
Katsuki raised a brow.
"Who?"
"Well, I was considering who'd be the best for the job, based on what I know. Someone that was smart, and was able to assess situations rather quickly. In the end, I thought Momo-san would have been the best person for the job."
Momo looked surprised, she could hear since he was only directly in front of her.
"M-Me?"
Keita turned, and nodded.
"Yes, I voted for you Momo-san. Is it strange?"
"I'm just surprised...I actually voted for you."
This time it was Keita's turn to be surprised.
"For me? But why?"
"Well, I saw what you did yesterday during the trials, and I saw how you were able to assess situations also. But more than that, I see how you are with Eri-san and how kind you can be towards her, and how you also..." Her eyes went to Katsuki who glares back. "...well, either way, I'm sure that you'd be able to handle this kind of situation."
"Thanks very much! I'll try my best~"
Momo gave a calm smile, as Katsuki glances back at her.
"I voted for Kei too, so don't try anything."
Momo gave a troubled look, as Keita wore surprise.
"You did too Kacchan?"
"Of course I did, why wouldn't I? I thought you'd be the best for the damn job, is all. Besides, I'd rather have someone I actually like have it than someone that I don't like."
"Who don't you like?"
"Everyone but you and Eri."
Eri looks up towards Katsuki to see her light smile.
Eri gave a soft one back, Keita was pleased to see that Katsuki and Eri were able to get on so well.
Keita gave a thankful smile.
"Still, I'm thankful for the vote." Keita gently pets Eri's head. "You too Eri-chan~"
"Kei-chan~"
Keita grinned down at the young girl, and gently pets her head once more.
Aizawa yawns, Keita seeing that his eyes looked particularly tired that day.
"Great, now that's been decided, it's time to continue on with the lessons."
And that's what they did.
For the entire morning, they did normal lessons. Keita kept wondering who else voted for him. He guessed that Himiko might have, so that would explain three, four if Eri's vote was counted (he presumed that Aizawa would do that) but he got seven all together, so he couldn't help but wonder what the other people voted for him.
At lunch, Keita stretched his arms, and began to move when Tokoyami moved closer. His eyes went towards Keita with an intense stare, something that made Keita raise an eyebrow at.
"Something going on?"
"No, but I should inform you of my vote today."
"Your vote?"
"Yes, I voted for you Chisaki-san."
Keita looked quite surprised.
"Why did you vote for me? It's great that you did, but I was just curious."
Tokoyami scratched his cheek, as he thought how to say it.
"To be honest, I didn't know how to vote in the beginning. But, then I recalled our previous conversations. Hearing your words, and seeing how you managed to fight me, and also be kind to other members of the class. My vote was obvious, I chose to dip my hat into the light for a brief moment, and allow the rays to shine onto my darkness. It was...an intriguing experience."
Keita chortled, he found Tokoyami rather intriguing.
"Thanks Tokoyami-kun, I shall not let you down~ I'll shine my light to everyone, and cause them to feel amazing~"
"Yes, see that you do. I am placing my trust onto you for this."
Keita could hear the seriousness in his voice.
He clearly wasn't playing around, so Keita matched his seriousness.
"Understood, Tokoyami-kun."
"Then I shall take my leave."
Tokoyami then walked away, as Katsuki rose an eyebrow.
"He's a Chuunibyou, definitely."
"Even then, I think he's a rather nice guy~ He might speak a bit odd, with the darkness and light stuff, but I think it's rather fun~"
Katsuki gave a bemused look to Keita.
"You're definitely an odd one." Katsuki took Keita's hand, and held onto it tightly. "But, I'd rather have you be odd than anything else."
"Aah, my angry kitten is so delightful~"
Upon hearing Katsuki being referred to as an 'angry kitten' Izuku turned back with a curious stare.
"Keita-kun...I'm surprised Kacchan allows you to call her that."
"If you try it Deku, say goodbye to your hands!"
Izuku let out a small cry, as Keita lightly petted her head, Katsuki snarled, but then placed her head on his chest.
"I guess it's because Kacchan's alright with it, maybe she secretly likes it."
Katsuki gave an amused look.
"Yeah, right."
"I know you like it Kacchan. Your face might say otherwise, but your eyes cannot lie. You like being my angry kitten~"
Katsuki's scowl grew, but Keita could see that she looked rather amused from her eyes.
Eri leaned towards Katsuki and poked her hand.
"Kacchan...angry kitten." Katsuki's face softened slightly, surprising most in the class. "Kacchan, was it nice, sleeping with Kei-chan last night? You were sad...so, Kei-chan made you feel better, yes?"
"Yeah, Kei made me feel better, I'm fine now, Eri."
The classes jaws, besides Himiko, hit the floor when hearing that.
[WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? YOU SLEPT TOGETHER!?]
They all screamed.
Even Shoto and Tokoyami raised their voices ever so slightly, not as loud as the others.
"Yes, Kacchan and I slept together last night~"
Katsuki gave slightly bemused eyes to Keita's words, knowing that he meant it literally, not how everyone else was taking it.
"Geez dude, respect!"
Kaminari tried to high five Keita, but he appeared confused by it.
"Eh...thanks I guess~"
Mineta looked on with a mixture of jealousy and anger for Keita.
Believing that Keita had truly slept with Katsuki, he expressed his rage while shaking side to side.
"Seriously though! You managed to sleep with Bakugo?! She's got a cute face, but she's crazy!"
"Say it again you little imp and I'll shoot you out of this school, and back to Middle School where you belong!"
Mineta cringed as Mina bounced forward.
"Wow, this boy works fast~ He slept with Bakugo-chan so quickly~"
"I know, you should have heard the noises!"
Himiko cheered out, adding fuel to the fire, for her own personal amusement.
Izuku blushed at what was being suggested, his eyes drifting over to Ochaco, and saw that she was immensely blushing.
"Damn it wild hair! Don't you start putting in your crap!"
Himiko just giggled away, as Kirishima thrust his fist to the sky.
"I knew that Chisaki was the man! That's so manly to do such a thing! I could learn a great deal from you Chisaki!"
Keita cocked his head.
"I think you're misunderstanding...right Kacchan?"
Keita placed his head on Katsuki's shoulder. Her cheeks began to fill with redness, her eyes fluttered ever so slightly. His arms snaked around her, cupping together at her stomach, fully embracing her from behind.
Everyone was surprised to see that the angry look on Katsuki's face disappeared, and only remained was her mild blush that was spreading fast on her face.
"Yeah. they're idiots, that's why."
Keita, curious by everyone's stares, smiled at Katsuki.
"Kacchan and I have known one another for a good while now, so is it odd that we slept together? I've slept with Himiko-chan too before. It's because we're quite close."
The class looked more and more stunned, some looked impressed.
The class turned to Himiko, who nodded.
"The first time was great, and ever since, it just keeps getting better and better~ Sometimes, we sleep together several times a day~"
"You're just perfectly alright with them believing this lie, aren't you?"
Himiko grinned at Katsuki's deadpan stare.
Kaminari went towards Keita, and gave him a thumbs up with teary eyes.
"Please teach me!"
"Teach you?"
Kaminari nodded strongly.
"Yes, please teach me! It's impressive you managed to do that with Bakugo!"
Keita raised an eyebrow in perplexity.
"Erm...I think you're misunderstanding this."
"They are, I'll clear it up." Katsuki sighed out, and looked at each member of the class. "He's talking about sleeping next to us. Not sleeping with us, you idiots!"
Since Eri was there, she didn't swear.
The class thought about it for a few moments.
But then they let out a collective "Ooooooh…." and realized what Keita truly had meant, since he never actually said anything about intercourse when referring to going to bed with Katsuki or Himiko.
Katsuki shook his head at their antics, as Momo who was red faced, breathed through her mouth.
"W-Well...I thought that's what it was all along."
Katsuki didn't believe her, seeing how she was still blushing.
Keita gave bemused looks to the class, before looking down at Eri who seemed content with being in the class.
Meanwhile, within Class 1B, Itsuka sitting within her class, saw that Ibara was standing up.
In her hands, she held a bento, a boxed lunch that she had made. But she had two, and she was going towards the exit of the room.
Itsuka walked towards her, and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, Shiozaki-san, who's the extra lunch for? Or, are you that hungry~?"
She joked, wanting to ease the mood.
Ibara gave straight eyes, and moved to the exit.
"I made a lunch for Keita-sama."
"K-Keita-sama?"
Itsuka was surprised by how...intense Ibara seemed all of a sudden.
Curious, she followed Ibara who seemed intent on moving quickly, so that's what she did.
Going towards Class 1A, Itsuka watched as Ibara entered, without even knocking.
Upon entering, she witnessed the entire class stop when seeing her. Her eyes scanned the crowds, with Mineta grinning, rushing closer, and attempted to take her hand, but Ibara seemingly pushed his hand away without looking, something that drew a laugh from Itsuka.
Keita was sat down with Eri, and Katsuki sat on his lap, Himiko was sat on the desk nearby, and Momo was also sat close by, all seemingly in deep conversation, at the back of the room, some of the only people that hadn't noticed Ibara had entered the room.
Ibara, seeing that she was being interrupted by a few people, decided to speak up.
"Good day fellow U.A students." As Ibara spoke, the sunlight from outside shined upon her form, almost bathing her in light, something the onlooking Katsuki and Himiko wondered how she did it. "I have come to speak to Keita Chisaki-sama."
Keita raised his head, as onlookers glanced towards him.
"Oh, it's that girl from the Entrance Exam. Hello again."
Ibara's eyes went towards Keita, and then walked closer.
Kaminari, seeing her, was surprised by her beauty, and pulled closer.
"Hey, my names Denki Kaminari, your hair is really cute, maybe we could go out sometime..." Ibara bypassed him, seemingly ignoring him, Jiro smirked, and began laughing. "Come on Jiro, don't laugh!"
"I'm sorry but...hahaha, you tried to hit on her, and she completely ignored you~ So smooth Kaminari~"
Kaminari's face fell while Ibara stepped before Keita. Itsuka watched from the doorway, and seemed quite intent on looking to see what was going to happen.
Ibara herself raised her bento to the sky, Katsuki's eyebrows raising.
"What do you want?"
Ibara's eyes met with Katsuki's, and stared at her curiously.
"Nothing to do with you. I came to speak to Keita-sama."
"A-Adding that onto his name...why are you doing that?"
"Because it is very respectful." Ibara leaned forward, bypassing Katsuki's face, and looked towards Keita's own. "Keita Chisaki-sama, it is a pleasure to see you again." Her eyes went to Katsuki, seeing her sat on his thighs. "May I ask, why are you sat on Keita-sama's thigh exactly?"
"Because this is my seat now, why do you care?"
Ibara tilted her head.
Katsuki gave a challenging stare.
She truly didn't know what to make of her.
She seemed to be rather...odd. But she didn't seem to be bad at all.
"I don't. I was just curious." Ibara took the bento she had, placed it down before Keita, and then stepped back. "Please enjoy the meal, I have mixed many different types of foods, to see which you'd like the most."
"Ooh that's kind, but you don't have to make me any food."
Keita replied kindly.
Ibara though was rather insistent.
"I do not mind. It is a, thank you for helping me during the Entrance Exam." Ibara pulled back, and looked towards the exit. "Then, I shall make my exit."
"You can stay, if you want. We're actually just about to head to the cafeteria if you'd like to come."
Ibara paused, then shook her head.
"No, I would need to prepare myself before I engaged in any conversations."
Keita raised an eyebrow, he appeared confused.
"Eh…? But, why would you need to prepare?"
Ibara looked towards Keita, and the sunlight behind him, made it seem like he had a halo of light.
She blinked several times, before shaking her head from side to side.
"I'm, going to make my retreat. Please let me know which foods you prefer, and I'll cook them next time."
Katsuki and Himiko looked to one another, seeing Ibara walking out of the classroom.
Going pass Kaminari, he attempted to flirt with her again, but Ibara merely ignored him, and got out of the door, a small light redness on her cheeks, Jiro began to laugh at Kaminari once more, in a playful manner.
"Jiro! Stop laughing!"
"Hahahaha! I-I'm sorry but that's amazing! I like her!"
Kaminari stared at Jiro with a harsh look.
But she let it roll off of her, she didn't seem to care at all.
Itsuka outside of the room, saw Ibara leaning against the wall to Class 1A's room.
"They offered you to stay, why didn't you stay?"
"I'm currently attempting to figure out these feelings inside of me. I'd like to understand more about Keita-sama before I make true conversations with him." Ibara looked Itsuka up and down. "You also, seem to wish to go in there."
Itsuka waved her hands in front of her face, trying to deny what Ibara said.
"Wha…? N-No, I don't want to do that~ I just wanted to see what you were doing….that's all~"
She remained breezy, but Ibara could tell that was the case.
She then looked around the corner back into the room, something Himiko noticed.
"Hey, I'm the stalker around here…."
"It's funny that you admit that so freely."
Katsuki dead panned her, but Himiko shrugged.
"I know who and what I am. I'm quite happy with myself~ No matter what anyone else thinks~" Himiko looked to Ibara who peered into the classroom. "...But seriously, is she trying to take my position…? No, she can't do anything like that!"
Keita placed his hand on top of Himiko's head, soothing her.
"Himiko-chan, it's alright~"
"Hehehe, I know~ Still, why is she just staring at us…?"
Momo shook her head.
"She's staring at Keita-san, not us."
Keita eyes went to Ibara who looked on with expectations in her eyes.
Keita then peered down at the bento she left, so he opened it, seeing all sorts of different food.
Eri also saw it, and her mouth watered at the sight.
"Kei-chan, look at all that food..."
"Why don't you have some Eri-chan?"
Keita offered, so Eri picked up her knife and fork, taking some food, and placed it in her mouth, devouring it and looked quite happy.
"It tastes nice Kei-chan."
Keita chortled, petting her head gently.
Ibara watched from the door, and her mouth curled upwards, she seemed rather excited about seeing Eri like it.
"Keita-sama's...little sister, seems to be also enjoying it. Then, that means Keita-sama will also enjoy it."
Itsuka sweat dropped.
"Eh, I'm not sure if she is his little sister though."
"Still, she clearly is someone that Keita-sama cares about, so if she is important to him, then I can only surmise that this is the right path to take after all."
Itsuka truly didn't understand Ibara at all.
But she just went along with her, and just gave her a curious expression.
Itsuka then looked back into the classroom, seeing Keita looking in her direction.
Her face turned slightly red, recalling the time that he had saved her, how he did in the Entrance Exam, and in her eyes, how cool he was in using his powers, and how he was able to keep fighting despite everything happening around him…
Dispelling those thoughts out of her mind, she walked away from the classroom, unable to stay there for much longer.
A small time later, Keita and the others arrive in the cafeteria, and casually go over a number of things together. It was Keita, Katsuki, Himiko, Tsuyu, and Momo who managed to go together to the cafeteria.
Keita invited a few others, like Izuku, but he got hung up with Tenya, so he didn't want to disturb their conversation, and hoped that he'd be able to come over again later on.
Speaking together casually, calmly, and for Keita at least, he was enjoying the experience around him.
How he was able to relax with people around him.
Eri sat on Keita's lap, and simply looked rather pleased with everyone around.
"Kei-chan..."
"Hmm? Is something wrong Eri-chan?"
Eri shook her head.
"No...I am just happy...it's so nice, being with everyone...remember Kei-chan. It used to be just you and me."
"Yes...I remember that. Now, we've got lots of friends, haven't we?"
"Yes, having new friends is good."
Keita gave a soft look to the young girl.
Just then, Tsuyu raised her head.
"Keita-chan, I'm glad that the person I voted for became the President."
Katsuki's eyes slit upon Tsuyu.
"You voted for him too?!"
"Yes, that's right ribbit. We need someone that can lead pretty well, who can think on their feet, and is able to keep other members of the class calm." Her eyes were on Katsuki when she said that, Katsuki wasn't pleased with that look Tsuyu was giving her. "So, that's why I voted for you, Keita-chan."
Keita felt touched by Tsuyu's words, that she placed much trust in him.
"Thank you Tsu-chan, I'll do my best as President."
"Though having said that, I saw that Midoriya-chan looked rather worried about his position."
"Izuku-kun's just a bit nervous, I'm sure he could handle it. And if not, then that's okay too~ Whatever he's comfortable with, you know?"
"Hehehehe, Kei-chan~ You're like the class Big Brother, you know~?"
Himiko sang out, Keita looked mildly surprised.
"Big...Brother…?"
"Right, one that's always making sure everyone is okay, and giving advice, and being friendly, and keeping certain people in line."
"I know you're talking about me Vampire!"
Himiko blinked at the name.
"Because of my Quirk?"
"Of course, you're a Vampire! With wild hair! You're wild hair Vampire!"
Himiko stuck out her tongue towards Katsuki who snarled as a response.
"I thought that it was a pretty interesting Quirk, the applications for it would be tremendous as a Hero."
Momo added, Himiko scratched her cheek cutely.
"Awww, you're gonna make me blush ya know~?"
"I'm serious, during a hostage situation, it could be used to sneak you in and then gain control over the situation. Sneaking into enemy bases would be quite good too, using your power, all you'd have to do is make sure that the person you're impersonating wouldn't be there. It would also be good at gathering intelligence. There's many possible ways for your Quirk to be used."
Himiko was pleasantly surprised that Momo was speaking in such a manner.
"Hehe, you're so smart~ I'm sure you'd be able to come up with many things for my Quirk~"
Momo gave a pleasant smile.
Keita watched the interactions, and was glad for Himiko to settle in as well as she had been doing.
Keita himself was quite happy to just hang back, and listen to different conversations and contribute when he thought was necessary.
Suddenly, as the gang were talking to one another, the alarms began going off within the cafeteria. Momo, Himiko, and Tsuyu all look around at the cafeteria.
They saw that people were beginning to panic.
Katsuki looked rather excited while Keita gently hugged the worried Eri.
"Don't worry Eri-chan, everything's alright."
"But...w-why are the alarms going off Kei-chan?"
"It seems that it is a security alarm."
"Security alarm…?"
Tsuyu murmured, Keita nodded, and pointed to a light flashing above one of the doors.
"Yes, it seems to be that something might be happening. Or it might be a mistake. Either way, don't worry Eri-chan. If something should happen, then I'll make sure that you're protected. I'm sure that it's just a big misunderstanding, and everything is going to be alright. We have our Sensei's here, and they'll swiftly deal with this. Even All Might is here."
"R-Really Kei-chan?"
Keita gave her a reassuring nod, and went to speak when...
[Warning! A Level Three Security Breach! All students are to please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion!]
Because of the slightly intimidating (for Eri at least) voice, it frightening Eri even more.
Keita didn't want her to be worried, so he tried his best to calm her.
"Shh, it's alright Eri-chan."
Keita comforted as he stood up.
The others followed suit, and looked around.
"We have to evacuate ribbit."
"Yes, but the halls are going to be crowded."
Momo added, with Katsuki frowning.
"I feel like we should go and fight it."
Himiko placed a hand out towards Katsuki.
"It might be a mistake. Besides, there were a number of people outside this morning, maybe one of the reporters are trying something. We should just do as the voice said, and make our way to the exit. Even if something is happening, as Kei-chan said, we've got some of the strongest people here, All Might himself is currently in the school, so we're as safe as houses."
Keita thought that was a reasonable explanation.
Still, he got the sinking feeling that something was off.
He didn't like it at all.
"Come on everyone, lets get going."
They agreed with Keita, and began walking off to the exits.
Upon entering said hallway to the exit, they saw how packed it was. People were shoving and falling over. They were acting rather worried about the entire situation, Keita held Eri close to him, seeing that she looked worried.
As he looked through the crowd, he saw that Izuku and Ochaco were in the students, being pushed and shoved.
Katsuki lightly smirked at that, until someone shoved her from behind.
"Oi! Do that again at the risk of your health!"
The student froze in place, looking as if they were about to fall over, and pass out. Katsuki snarled at him, so he jumped away and backed away very slowly from the young woman who didn't look pleased.
Himiko couldn't contain her giggling, ending up pushing forward.
"Kei-chan, maybe we should think about going in a different direction?"
"I don't know if there are other exits close to us. And most likely, they'll be packed like this also. We should probably try and get the situation around here sorted before anything bad happens."
"I agree, if they keep going at it, we'll be troubled."
Momo added, before someone from behind accidentally knocked her forward, hitting Keita's form and held onto him before she fell down. Her chest pushed against Keita's right arm, her eyes widening slightly, and gave off an embarrassed air about her.
Himiko and Katsuki weren't thrilled about that, especially seeing how well endowed she was in the chest area.
"S-Sorry about that Keita-san, I didn't mean to do that."
"Ooh, no problem~"
Despite his upbeat attitude, Katsuki saw that his cheeks had turned slightly red.
He was blushing.
She found it rather adorable, and annoying all in one.
Because of the fact that it was Momo he was blushing at.
Katsuki huffed, and held onto Keita's other arm.
"This is a terrible situation, I'll just hold onto you here Kei."
"Ooh Kacchan~"
Katsuki furrowed her brows at the slightly alluring look that he gave her. It could almost be classed as teasing, but it held that drop of innocence that
Himiko, not wanting to be out of the action, hugged Keita from behind, and dragged Tsuyu along with her. Both of their chests pushed against Keita's back, and Himiko couldn't help but smile at the sight before her.
"Awww, we're all gonna be with Kei-chan now~"
Tsuyu didn't want to admit it, but she also was blushing due to the fact that she was holding onto Keita. Himiko didn't force her to stay clinging to Keita, and she kept wondering if she should let go of her or not.
Keita pondered how they'd be able to get out of this situation, if they knew what was going on.
Continuing forward, he saw that Tenya was trying to make sense of it all.
He was trying to figure out why this was happening also.
He then looked out of the window, and looked for the source as Keita kept Eri in his arms, making sure no one accidentally hurt the young girl.
Tenya himself kept his eyes searching outside for any kind of indication about the situation.
A number of Sensei's were trying to hold off a number of the reporters trying to get through.
Tenya then saw Keita, and raised his hand.
"Class President, I have found the source of the disturbance!"
Keita took keen interest, and walked over also.
Looking, he saw what Tenya had, seeing that Himiko had been right.
They had breached the security, though he did find it a bit suspicious that they'd try something like that.
Keita exhaled slowly.
"Alright, it just seems to be the media. Good catch Iida-san!"
Tenya looked slightly shy at the praise.
Izuku from a bit of a distance also saw how Tenya was able to analyse the situation so quickly.
Momo looked with interest, and saw the same thing that Keita did.
"Yes, it seems that you're right. Though I'm surprised that they managed to make it this far in..."
Momo's words got Keita to thinking.
It did seem a bit suspicious that they would go this far.
Maybe they truly just wanted a new story about All Might…
But it did seem a bit odd.
Keita could see that the hallway was growing with more and more anxiety, so he placed a hand on the ground, and caused it to shift, and change in a mere few seconds, warping the area to a degree that the walls pushed out along with the floor itself, but kept their stability.
Students had more place to go, all seemed to be surprised as Keita placed a hand on Tenya's back.
"Iida-san, since you found it, why don't you explain what's going on?"
"A-Ah...Class President...s-sure! I understand! Leave it to me!"
Tenya saw a clear path before him thanks to Keita's Quirk, and shot forward at high speeds.
But as he did go, he accidentally tripped and went flying through the air. Keita grimaced, flicking the ground to quickly provide Tenya with a slide, that returned him down to the ground.
When Tenya stood up, his body going into the person on the exit sign, mimicking their pose perfectly, Katsuki began to snicker at the sight.
"Everyone! Please listen to me! I have been given permission to speak on behalf of Class 1A's President!"
Himiko quickly moves to Keita's side.
"Why's he saying it like that?"
"Eh...I don't know, he's very passionate~"
Himiko shrugged as Tenya continued.
"Yes, now there's no Villain attack. There's nothing to be concerned at. It seems that the press have taken things in their pursuit of All Might too far. Please look out of the window and you'll see for yourselves."
Doing just that, a number of students looked outside.
Keita himself could see that Tenya was doing rather well.
"We're U.A students, please act more accordingly to our status. So, it is time to go back to class in a calm and orderly fashion."
Tenya's words spoke with respect for his school, and for his fellow students.
Keita looked rather impressed, moving forward to Tenya.
"Well done Iida-san, I couldn't have said it better myself."
Tenya chortled lightly, scratching the back of his head.
"T-Thank you Mr President."
"Eeh...just Keita's fine. Or Chisaki if you like."
"Chisaki-kun!"
"Right, Iida-san~"
Izuku from the distance looked on, seeing how Tenya and Keita were conversing, how he was able to handle the situation, he could see that they clearly were able to converse, and come to conclusions quickly, bounce off one another.
After that, Eri needed the bathroom, so Keita waited outside of the bathroom for her, and could see that time was ticking by for the class to begin rather soon.
As he waited, he saw that Shoto was moving closer.
"Yesterday, your power was rather impressive. Even just then, I heard how you warped the area, and then returned it back to normal within a few moments. You've been trained well. Was it by your Father?"
Keita shook his head.
"I don't have a Father, nor a Mother."
He replied, to the astonishment of Shoto.
"I...I see, I'm sorry about that."
"It happened a long time ago, so please don't be worried."
"Even then, I am sorry for bringing up something so hard. I just assumed that you were like me."
"Like you? Your Father...trained you?"
Shoto's eyes went towards the ground for a few moments.
It seemed as if she was thinking about how to respond.
"In a manner of speaking, he did train my power. Though his kind of training...isn't something that I would have preferred."
"Is that so?" Keita overlooked her red hair, and then her white hair. "I saw yesterday, with your Quirk. You can freeze things, but then you caused the ice to melt away. Is it because of your duel sides? Fire and ice? I heard that your power is like that, right?"
Shoto was quite astonished that he was aware of that.
She hadn't hid it, but she didn't tell many people either.
"Yes, it is because of that. But, I only use my ice side for...personal reasons." Keita respected her decision and simply nodded. "Either way, I was disappointed that I didn't get to fight you yesterday, I wished to see your full capabilities."
"May I ask why you'd want to do that?"
"Because from what I've witnessed, you're one of the strongest students in the class, I'd like to test my power, see if I'm stronger, or weaker than the current you. Your Quirk also seems to be rather diverse."
"I guess that's how it is~ I'm glad that at least I was able to work well with Tsu-chan…"
"Yes, I can't seem to figure you out though."
Keita raised a brow.
"Figure me out? What's to figure out?"
"I don't know. Your face displays a smile...but, your eyes. I don't know what it is, but I feel as if there's something different..."
Keita furrowed his brows.
"Hmmm, everyone has something about them, don't they Shoto-san? You have something, and so do I, that we want to keep hidden from the world. Rather, things that have to be hidden from the world. But Shoto-san, I don't know if I'm some big mystery, I'm just me."
"Just you...then, I am glad that I decided to vote for just you."
Keita now was more surprised.
He had learned everyone who had voted for him.
Katsuki, Momo, Himiko, Eri (if her vote was counted which he presumed it would be), Tsuyu, Tokoyami and now Shoto, which made seven in total.
"Well, thanks for the vote~ But, may I ask, why?"
"Because...you make people happy. Like Bakugo...you make her happy, and calm. And that little girl...I can see the amount of love she has for you. That's not just a normal sibling love, she looks up to you and appreciates everything you do for her. I don't know the circumstances, but I feel as if you have devoted your life to her."
Keita slowly nodded.
"She's...She's very important to me, I'd protect her with my life."
Shoto couldn't hide her surprise on her face.
But she also felt rather pleased that Keita had said that.
She then walked passed him.
"Then, keep doing your best, Class President."
Keita glanced back at the girl, and smiled gently.
Shoto walked off, and Keita remained waiting for Eri.
Thankfully, she came out a minute later, and moved closer to Keita.
"Ready Eri-chan?"
Keita offered his hand, so Eri took it, and held it as tightly as she could.
"Yes, I'm ready."
With that, they walked off together.
As they did, Itsuka walked around the corner from behind them, and saw their interactions.
Seeing Keita making Eri laugh, which in turn made her smile at the sight.
She could clearly see that he very much cared for Eri, and the same could be true about Keita.
Eventually, getting back to the class, Keita saw that Izuku was stood at the front of the class, gesturing him closer. Intrigued, Keita moved, and stood beside him.
"What's wrong Izuku-kun?"
"Ah...erm...Keita-kun, I'm sorry."
Keita didn't get what he was sorry about.
"May I ask why? You haven't done anything wrong...have you?"
Izuku threw up his hands.
"No, no! Nothing like that!" Keita gave a bemused look as Izuku hung his head. "...Before, I saw how the situation in the hallway was handled. I...I couldn't do anything, while Iida-kun took immediately to your side, and you placed trust in Iida-kun, supporting one another."
"Yes, but that situation was hectic, so it's alright to be a bit worried about that. Everything worked out well enough."
"Y-Yes...b-but I couldn't support you! I wish...I could have been like you and Iida-kun, remaining so calm! S-So that's why...I know for right now, that I'm not the best person to be Vice President..."
"Don't say that, we all grow, and I'm sure with time, that you'd be able to become a great Vice President, and even President as well."
Keita's natural comfort was rather wonderful to feel.
Even Izuku had to admit that the compassion and kindness that Keita offered only supported him and gave him more courage.
"Yes...that's why, I know you'll be a great President, you care about people, and you're able to speak your mind. However...while I might grow to it one day, I wont be able to support you right now...so, that's why, I thought that Iida-kun could support you as the Vice President!"
Tenya's eyes widened, and like a robot, shot up and moved his arms in a very robotic like manner.
The others looked towards Tenya, and then towards Keita.
"Yeah, if Midoriya vouches for him, then I'm good."
Kirishima began, and then Kaminari continued.
"Yep, he looked like the emergency exit sign guy as well~"
Tenya began to look rather surprised, and in the end, gave a humble bow of his head.
"Midoriya-kun...I-I could only humbly accept if Chisaki-kun was to accept it!"
Everyone's eyes went towards Keita.
Keita himself gave a curious look, before shrugging.
"If that's what Izuku-kun wishes to do, then he's made the choice, and who am I to disagree? I'm sure that Iida-san and I will be able to work together very effectively."
Tenya looked on proud, as he walked off towards Keita's side.
Standing beside him, he gave him a strong and respectful look.
"Then, I shall do my best to support you Chisaki-kun!"
"Great, then I'll count on you from now on Iida-san!"
Aizawa yawned, and looked into the different peoples eyes in the class.
"That's great. Now, can we get back to our lessons?"
Keita gave a nod, and walked off to his seat.
Then the lessons continued on until the end of the day.
That night, Keita put Eri to bed, and walked down the stairs. Keita went into the living room, seeing Sir Nighteye looked rather busy with some documents. He wondered what he was doing, so he moved closer.
"Sir Nighteye-san, is something wrong?"
Sir Nighteye looked up from his papers, gazing at the boys face.
"No...nothing at all. Just some tasks that I'm doing is all."
Sir Nighteye wondered if he should say anything about what he was doing.
Working on the disappearances of numerous Hero's, and the possible connection to Kai.
He didn't want to worry Keita at all.
Keita gave a curious stare.
"I see...anyway Sir Nighteye-san. There's something that I've been thinking about lately, and I don't know if I should be aware of it..."
"Hmmm? What's troubling you?"
Keita held up his hands, waving them side to side.
"No, no. It's not troubling to me. But, I think that I probably wasn't supposed to know about it..." Sir Nighteye became even more intrigued. "...But Izuku-kun...I believe he didn't get his Quirk naturally." Sir Nighteye's face didn't change, but his eyes did display some feelings, a feeling that Keita knew. "...By your eyes, it seems that you know something."
"I tried to hide that the best I could. Even picking up the subtlest of things, aren't you?"
Keita nodded without pause.
"If it's supposed to be a secret, I get that. But, I thought you should know, he practically spilled it out to Kacchan also."
"Does she...is she aware of anything?"
"I think she played it off as some sort of joke." He responded truthfully. "But, she might also wonder as I did. Sir Nighteye-san...this thing with Izuku-kun, why you didn't seem to like him all that much...and how All Might looks at him...there's definitely a connection, isn't there?"
Sir Nighteye could see that Keita was a smart boy.
Lying would do little to accomplish anything.
"...Yes, there is something that's going on."
"I...see. And you can't tell me, can you?"
"Hmmmm, technically it is supposed to be a secret...but that boy, really revealed that much?"
"I think it was basically him saying things without his brain really thinking about it. I think he got emotional, and just said it without thinking. He said that he received his Quirk recently, he didn't say who from. I guessed All Might based on what he did during the ball throw, and then during the Battle Trial, and also what I had heard during the Entrance Exam. He displayed amazing levels of strength. All Might calibre perhaps. But, his body is breaking from it...because it isn't a natural Quirk, is that right?"
Sir Nighteye was quite pleased in a way.
The fact that Keita figured that stuff out, without anyone revealing it to him.
Besides Izuku of course.
But still, to make the connections this quickly.
"Keita...tell me, All Might's Quirk...would you have wanted that power?"
"Erm...I guess it couldn't have hurt~"
Sir Nighteye liked his honesty.
"Yes. Maybe the reason why you saw a bit of...dislike on my part for Midoriya, is because I don't believe he is right for the power. It's one of the reasons All Might and I have had a strained relationship in the past. There is another significant reason, but that's also something we just couldn't agree with."
"Sir Nighteye-san...should you be telling me this? I mean...this is clearly a secret..."
"I trust you, Keita." Keita's face erupted into a smile. "You trusted me, all that time ago. You put your life in my hands. I can see you're a good person, you're clearly very capable of keeping secrets, due to your past."
"Yes...I'm very used to keeping others secrets."
He thought back to Kai, and what he would be doing right now.
"Yes...to be honest, the power All Might has...had, still has...it's a little complicated. He has passed that onto Midoriya, but he keeps...as he calls them, embers of the power. And once he burns through them all, he'll lose access to the power, and Midoriya will be the only person to have that power, until he should pass it on. I wanted you, or Mirio to receive the power."
"Me or Senpai...but why not Izuku-kun?"
Sir Nighteye pushes up his glasses as he explains.
"I don't doubt that he's a good boy, that he could accomplish good things with it. However, in my estimation, if you or Mirio received it, then you'd be able to accomplish even more. I understand Midoriya's plight, he was born Quirkless, that is quite a tragic circumstance since we live in a world where many people have Quirks. That power...it is amazing, and I just wished for it to be in the best hands."
"All Might made his choice...with Izuku-kun right?"
Sir Nighteye inclined his neck.
"Yes, while it wouldn't have been my choice...he made the choice to give it to Midoriya."
"Then, what's done is done."
Sir Nighteye wasn't surprised he spoke like that.
It was very Keita's nature to be quite understanding.
"Aren't you...at least the bit curious what you could have done with the power?"
"Sure, I could have seen it being rather useful. But, it wasn't my birthright, it wasn't something I was destined to have. It was All Might's choice, and if he believes that Izuku-kun is the right choice for the power then that's a decision we can't go against, no matter how much we'd want to have it play out some other way. To be honest, I saw Izuku-kun before having the power, and after having the power, he's getting the chance to finally show what he already had inside of him, which was a desire to help and protect people. He might be a bit insecure at times, but who doesn't have those moments? Izuku-kun's gained this power, he's All Might's successor now, and I think that could be rather daunting. All Might's the worlds, at least Japan's, greatest Hero. Izuku-kun...knowing him, he'd very much place a big burden on himself to try and live up to the expectations. But he's smart, capable, he might not have been born with a Quirk, but he's got All Might's now, I'm sure he'll become a great Hero one day."
Sir Nighteye again was blown away by the maturity that Keita presented.
It must have been due to being with the Shie Hassaikai, that gave him this wonderful insight.
"I shouldn't be surprised you'd say that Keita. Yes, it is a heavy duty. One I hope he rises too. I want to see what All Might saw him in. Until then, I don't know how I feel about him. All I can do is watch. But, beyond that. I know with or without the power, you will do amazing things Keita."
Keita gained a slight smile.
"Yes...I'll achieve a good status with my own power. Besides, it isn't like I plan on being weak, even without All Might's power, I still want to become a strong Hero and make sure people don't have to go through what I've been through. When Izuku-kun gains control over the power, I'd love to have a fight with him, and test our might against one another~"
Sir Nighteye allowed a small smile to appear on his lips.
"Yes, that's exactly right Keita. Keep growing stronger, I know that you'll be able to achieve many things."
"Thanks Sir Nighteye-san! But, should we tell All Might, and Izuku-kun that I know about this?"
"Hmmm...yes, allow me to speak to All Might first, and explain what happened. Then you can speak to Midoriya. But, I have one question for you." Keita nodded for him to continue. "Keita...hmmmm..."
"Sir-san...is something the matter?"
"No...I don't believe it is. Never mind."
Sir Nighteye thought it wouldn't be best to make Keita feel worry with the possible re-emergence of Kai.
Until they had some concrete evidence, that's when he'd explain to Keita. He just hoped that Kai wasn't going to reappear, and that Keita would always have peace of mind. Plus, they hoped to find Kai quietly, and deal with him without Keita or Eri having to even know about it.
Keita could see that something was on Sir Nighteye's mind, he had spent a good deal of time with him so it was easy enough for him to tell.
But it seemed as if Sir Nighteye didn't want to explain for the time being, so Keita left it alone.
"Alright. So, I'm gonna head to bed now~ Goodnight Sir Nighteye-san~"
"Yes...goodnight."
Keita turned and walked off to his bed.
His mind raced through the information that he had received from Sir Nighteye.
How Izuku got his Quirk.
He had to admit that he was rather intrigued to learn the history of the Quirk, how it came into existence and how it was passed down.
All in all, Keita was quite thrilled to learn more about the situation before him.
End chapter!
So, this was a little more light hearted, before we go into the USJ.
But yeah, we got some more bonding moments this chapter, between Katsuki and Keita who are becoming more comfortable around one another, growing closer. Shoto and Keita also opened up about one another a bit more, even Ibara showed up briefly, and Itsuka seems to be rather happy to see Keita and Eri being together. Tokoyami and Keita also seem to be developing a good friendship between them as is Kirishima. Izuku also could see how Keita and Tenya were together.
Then at the end, Keita and Sir Nighteye had a heart to heart about All Might's Quirk, Izuku and how they both felt about it, Sir Nighteye seeing just how mature, and mentally strong Keita truly is, along with showing how much respect and trust Sir Nighteye has for even revealing this much to Keita in the first place.
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
