Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 7: Shōgyokutekina dōmei

A few days later, the scene shifts at Hope's Peak Heroes Association, where the Steering Committee summoned the principal of Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, where they told him that they are quite alarmed that a PAIR OF VIGILANTES are planning to take the credit in defeating a Monokuma, and the Steering Committee are whining over the fact that two teenagers PRETENDING TO BE HEROES defeated two threats, thus undermining the integrity of the ACTUAL HEROES, thus the Committee members and urged him to do something about it.

Jin asked what are they referring to, and the Steering Committee featured a video about the perceived vigilantes, who turn out to be Naegi and Kibo, and they told Jin that the two are making a MOCKERY of the Hope's Peak Heroes Association and may cause Hope's Peak to become a laughing stock, and told Jin to send out the best heroes to subdue the subjects ASAP.

"So you better do something!"

"We can't let those two wannabes hog the glory!"

"It will put Hope's peak into humiliation!"

"Send your best heroes out there!"

"Bring those brats in!"

"Maybe eliminate them!"

"Anything to protect the image of hope's peak!"

"And we mean it!"

Jin was against it as he saw no probable cause, as what Naegi and Kibo did were something REAL HEROES do, which they did was save the city, and he told the Steering Committee that he refuse to do so reasoning that Naegi and Kibo did not commit any crimes.

This did not sit well with the Steering Committee and threaten to sanction Jin if he intend to disobey them if he refuse to take action on Naegi and Kibo.

"What was that?"

"You dare disobey us?"

"Are you defying us?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"How dare you!"

"You think you're a big shot now?"

"So you wish to go against us, eh?"

"Are you so arrogant now?"

By then, Koichi Kizakura interjected and spoke, letting them know that he intended to recruit Naegi and Kibo into enrolling at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, saying that the pair stalling and stopping both Hornet-Kuma and Mosquito-kuma, along with Naegi indirectly apprehending Jutarou the jewel thief, are enough grounds to say that the two teens are of superhero material, and they can be great assets to Hope's Peak.

The Steering Committee thought carefully, and they huddled, as they consider Kizakura's words, which two of them consider Kizakura's suggestion, while the other two appeared to be apprehensive, as they believe that Kibo is merely a remote-controlled robot and Naegi is deemed an eyesore based on his appearance, which the Steering Committee are now locked in a heated debate.

"So then?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm against it!"

"The one looked like a robot!"

"So?"

"They might become huge assets to Hope's Peak…"

"A robot and a plain-looking boy?"

"I say no!"

Jin and Kizakura watches on, with the former unsure what to do, while the latter is confident that the Steering Committee will consider his words and will give in, which Jin asked if he is sure about this, as Kizakura smirked.

"Are you sure, Kizakura?"

"Yep. I'm sure."

"How can you…?"

"Believe me, Jin…I got a good eye. That kid and the robot-lookalike can be great asset to Hope's Peak."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"I wonder."

"Trust me…those Committee dudes will eventually give in."

At his rented home, Naegi sighed as he lay in bed, only in his shorts, as he recalled what took place in the past few days, as he could not believe that he ended up defeating two threats, with the first one due to the red suit he is given by the aliens, and the other due to running out of clothes and is forced to wear the red suit and unwittingly came across Mosquito-kuma.

He really did not like standing out and only wanted to get on with his life, and what he did not know is that his exploits were witnessed by a few witnesses, Kibo included. Naegi sighed as he has to think of how to earn money so he can pay for the tuition so that he can start high school, as he is currently unable to due to lack of funds.

He blamed it on BAD LUCK and wished that he would get a GOOD one.

"Man…I wish something good would happen…"

By then a knock on the door is heard, and he answered it, where he is surprised to see Kibo standing there, and the teen cyborg made it known that he wants to become Naegi's pupil, if not disciple. Naegi mentally moaned and sagged, as he already have enough problems, and said that he is only in high school and not a teacher-like material.

Naegi also stated that he is currently living alone and is looking for a way to earn money to pay the rent of his current home and he might not be able to accommodate Kibo.

Kibo, however, persisted as he said that he really wants to be under Naegi's tutelage and stated that he can learn a lot, as well as saying that they can make a good team, which Naegi tried to dissuade the teen cyborg, feeling that he does not want to burden him.

"Really…I can't be a mentor to you."

"But I am sure you can."

"Still…"

"Please…take me under your wing!"

"I'm sorry…but I don't think I can accommodate you."

"Huh?"

"I'm financially uptight right now…so becoming your teacher is out of…"

"Do not worry."

Kibo then dropped his backpack and revealed that he has enough money to pay the rent, as well as the monthly advanced payments, and this somewhat enticed Naegi, but he remained cautious as he does not want Kibo to find out that he gained super powers due to wearing the red suit, worried that Kibo might get the wrong idea and end up feeling betrayed and cheated.

Then an idea popped into his head and tells Kibo that he would consider a provisional apprenticeship and see if he would consider a companion if the apprenticeship would produce good results, which Kibo eagerly accepted.

"Really?"

"for now. But I can't guarantee that…"

"Thank you! I accept! I will become your pupil!"

"Uh…it's only provisional…"

"Then it's settled? May I know your name?"

"Uh…Makoto Naegi…"

"Thank you, Naeg-sensei!"

"Geez…"

Thus, a temporary alliance is formed as Naegi and Kibo shook hands and the teen cyborg settled in, while Naegi sighed as he hoped that the idea he came up with would not backfire on him.

-x-

In the days that followed, Naegi and Kibo would patrol the streets, with Kibo being the active one while Naegi is the reluctant one, as he only steps in if the need arises, as he is keeping the fact that he only possess super powers by wearing the red suit a secret from anyone, which includes Kibo. Naegi was adjusting to his new living style, as he is reluctantly accompanying Kibo on certain situations and will only step in when necessary.

Among the moments shown are when Kibo and Naegi saw a news footage where an army of Monokuma robots whose motif are based on the signs of the Chinese zodiac, and they saw an army confronted at least three of them based on their animal motif:

- Rat (Shu)

- Ox (Niu)

- Snake (She)

As Kibo and Naegi are taking a stroll, Kibo noticed that Naegi is wearing a trench coat and a hat, and asked him why does he always wear them over his costume, in which Naegi claimed that it is his way of mixing in the crowd to avoid getting ambushed, as will as he usually does not like to attract attention and does not like to stand out.

Kibo considered Naegi's words but said he see nothing wrong about exposing himself, reasoning that people would know that a hero is around them which would made them feel safer.

"But Naegi-sensei…"

"Huh?"

"I don't see why you have to be a bit secretive."

"Well…"

"if people know that you're a hero…they would feel safe…"

"Still…I want to be a bit private…"

"I'm sure…huh?"

"What?"

By then, screams were heard and both Naegi and Kibo went to the source, where they saw what appeared to be another mechanical Monokuma, only this time it has the motif of a Chinese rat, where it unleashes a horde of rabid rats, where they began attacking people, sending the public into a panic as thy are being bitten and disemboweled.

Many screamed as they were bitten and others saw that other victims are being eaten alive, and this sowed terror in their eyes.

"EEEKKKK!"

"KKKKYYAAHH!"

"HELP!"

"AAAAIIEEE!"

"EEEKKKK!"

"KKKKYYAAHH!"

"HELP!"

"AAAAIIEEE!"

Kibo uses his optical scanners and realized that the rats are genuine, but were bio-engineered, in which they carry a lethal strain of leptospirosis, in which the effects would take effect about 75 seconds after entering a person's body via bites, and he told Naegi that he will eliminate the rats and advised Naegi to try stalling the source of the rat distribution.

As Kibo began using a flamethrower to take down the swarm of rats, Naegi is hesitant but is compelled to act as he removed the hat and trench coat and revealed the red suit and cape he is wearing, and confronted the robot, Shu-Kuma, and took a deep breath as he pondered what approach would he use to strike down the Shu-Kuma.

The mechanical entity then set its sight on Naegi, and is ready to send its rats at him, and Naegi stared wide-eyed as terror filled his thoughts and reacted on unintentional instinct as he did a Roman Reigns move by doing a SUPERMAN PUNCH, and strikes down the Shu-Kuma, and by LUCK, Naegi struck down the part where it showed that it was the source of its movement and functions.

Shu-Kuma was unexpectedly defeated.

Naegi stood there and wondered if he really defeated the mechanical Monokuma, but then he saw Kibo having difficulty in containing the rabid rats, and Naegi asked what is wrong, where Kibo said that the rats moved quite fast and could not attack them directly as he might harm innocent people.

"What's wrong, Kibo?"

"Naegi-sensei…"

"Can't you strike those rats?"

"I can't…they move too fast…"

"Eh?"

"And with too many people…I can't risk hitting them!"

"Seriously?"

"Yes!"

However, an unexpected help arrived as someone sang a song, which was melodic in nature, and the rats were compelled to assemble in one spot, and there Kibo uses his flamethrower to burn the rats to death, and calm was restored.

There Naegi saw who did this, and it turn out to be Sayaka Maizono, aka Idol Mistress. There she glanced at Naegi, as she finds him…cute. There she asked him if he is also a pro-hero, which made him blink his eyes as he is unaware of such a thing, and when he answered her honestly, Idol Mistress told Naegi that if he wants to be recognized as a pro-hero, he has to be enrolled at Hope's Peak Hero Association.

Kibo overheard it and asks Idol Mistress what she meant, and there she told Kibo that he and Naegi must be enrolled at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy so that in turn they can be superheroes in training before becoming pro-heroes, and there she told them that to be enrolled they must be scouted by Hope's Peak scouts as they would determine if they are eligible to become superheroes.

"So to enroll Hope's Peak…you must be scouted."

"Eh?"

"Really?"

"Yup."

"That's…"

"So in other words…this scout must see us…? In action?"

"Yup. And I'm sure he is somewhere near and probably saw you in action."

"Really?"

"Hope's peak Superhero Academy…so we must be enrolled there so we would be recognized…as heroes…?"

Naegi and Kibo stared at Idol Mistress after being informed that they are not official pro-heroes and while their efforts are appreciated, they won't be recognized as such, and told them that they have to be scouted so that once they became known as students of Hope's Peak, they will be recognized and be given recognition.

To Be Continued...

Hope you like this chapter, as Naegi and Kibo formed a partnership of sorts, and for the first time they worked as a team, and they appeared to be on the same page, taking out a Monokuma-type mecha-monster.

But then a pro-hero appeared and it was Maizono. There she told Naegi and Kibo what they should do if they are to act like heroes and where they should go.

It would be a matter of time before they encounter this academy for superheroes.

Preview:

Naegi and Kibo would go into a few action activities before they are invited to Hope's Peak Superhero Academy. But will the Steering Committee be willing to let the two in?

See you in July or August…

Reviews are needed…
