Hey, guys, GaeaChronos here with another chapter of Deku-Sensei! I wanted to get a chapter out as fast as possible before I lose the idea I had for this.
With that said, on with the chapter!
Chapter 3
Calm down, Izuku. Just calm down.
Don't panic, it's just Uraraka-san!
The same Uraraka-san you've had a crush on since... high school...
"Not helping, brain!!!" I ended up yelling out at the station, earning some concerned stares from students and adults alike.
"Ehehe... Nothing to see here..." I laughed nervously, waving at the people staring before making my walk of shame to the platform.
I took my phone out my pocket to check the time:
10:45 AM.
"The train should be here soon..." I muttered to myself before pocketing the device.
For some reason, even after the crowd looking at me earlier had long dispersed, I still felt like I was being watched.
"Ah-choo!"
I blinked in confusion.
Was that... a sneeze just now...?
I turned to where I heard the noise, only to find a bin for recyclable trash with its lid rattling a bit.
Wait... Is that...?
Before I could check to confirm my suspicions, the train had finally arrived.
I watched as the doors opened and the crowd exited the vehicle.
Amongst the crowd, there she was. Uraraka-san walked out of the train, dressed in casual clothes while carrying an almost empty cup of milk tea in her hand. As soon as she looked up from her phone, we made eye contact.
"Deku-kun!" She greeted, making her way to me.
"Uraraka-san! Good Morning!" I greeted back, walking towards her. "I'm glad you didn't get lost or anything."
"It wasn't easy, though!" She laughed, and what a beautiful sound it was-NO! Bad brain!
"Only a handful of trains travel here, and the station wasn't close to my place at all." She finished, finishing the last of her milk tea.
"Well, I'm glad you made it. Now that you're here, let me give you a tour of some of my favorite spots here in Kivotos!" I declared, making a grand gesture to look cool. Yup. Nailed it.
"Alrighty then, lead the way!" She laughed, tossing her cup into the recyclable trash bin.
"Hyu-! C-Cold...!"
Uraraka-san and I froze.
"Deku-kun... Did the trash can just...?"
I knew it.
"Just a minute." I smiled, walking to the trash can and lifted the lid, to be met with scared teary red eyes.
"What are you doing in here, Miyu?" I asked, gently removing the cup from her head. Yup, She got all wet from that.
"Se-Sensei..." Miyu trembled, accepting my offered hand to help her out of the trash can.
"Here." I offered, handing her my handkerchief to dry herself off with, which she shyly accepted. I heard her mumble out thanks and an apology as she cleaned herself up.
"So... Why were you hiding in there? Is the RABBIT Squad on a mission right now?"
"I... I guess you could call it that." Miyu stammered out.
"I see. I didn't mean to blow your cover, Miyu. But, you need a better hiding spot. People passing by will end up dumping their trash all over you if you continued to use that."
"O-Okay. I'll... try to find a better spot..." She nodded. I smiled.
"Good." I nodded, patting her on the head. She squeaked in surprise at the sudden gesture, but subtly leaned into my hand.
"Aww, you must be popular among your students, Deku-kun." Uraraka-san chimed in with a teasing grin on her face.
"It's nothing like that, Uraraka-san." I laughed, then I remembered something. "Oh, that's right! Uraraka-san, this is Kasumizawa Miyu. She's one of the members of the RABBIT Squad I told you about."
"Oh, you're one of the students Deku-kun mentioned." She smiled, turning to Miyu.
"He told me just how amazing you SRT girls are. Things might be a bit tough now, but you girls can handle it! I can't say I fully understand what you're going through right now, but I know what it's like to struggle since I wasn't the most financially stable back then. And don't forget to trust Deku-kun more often! He is your teacher, after all. Also, he's easily the most sincere guy I know! Plus, he saved the world too, so..."
"Umm, Uraraka-san, that's a bit much..." I laughed nervously as I felt my cheeks heat up from the praise.
"Umm... Thank you for the words..." Miyu shyly bowed to Uraraka-san, probably also reeling from her praise and encouragement as well.
"Ah, Uraraka-san," I cut in after checking the time. "We should get going. It's almost noon."
"Oh, right!" Uraraka-san exclaimed. "It was nice meeting you, Miyu-chan. I hope I can talk to the rest of your squad-mates later!" She followed me to the exit, leaving Miyu to continue whatever mission she was on right now.
POV: 3rd person
Miyu let out a sigh of relief as she watched Sensei leave the station. Fortunately, it looks like she wasn't found out.
Sensei's friend also seemed really nice. She approached her very similar to how Sensei did.
She was cut off from her thoughts by her communicator.
"RABBIT4, this is RABBIT1. Do you copy?"
"R-RABBIT1, this is RABBIT4. I can hear you."
"What happened? You weren't answering your radio."
"M-My location was d-discovered b-by the target. They d-didn't suspect me, though..."
"I see. Then, continue on your pursuit. But, try not to get spotted this time."
"... Umm, Miyako? Is this really necessary? Sensei doesn't seem to be in any danger, and his friend seems really nice, too."
"Nonsense. We can't be too careful. Plus, don't you want to repay Sensei's kindness, Miyu? He's done so much for us."
"I-I do, but..."
"Let's just go with it, Miyu. There's no stopping Miyako once she gets like this. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can go home." A new voice joined on the line.
"O-Okay, Saki..." Miyu whimpered before scurrying off after Izuku, this time managing to avoid getting spotted.
Back to Izuku
"So, what's the plan, Deku-kun?" Uraraka-san asked as she walked next to me.
"Well, there's this cake shop a few students of mine frequented, and they have really good cakes. I was hoping we could get some, and maybe you could take some home for everyone as well."
"That seems like a lot of cake for me to carry..." She joked, laughing nervously.
"Ahaha, well..." Good job, Izuku. You're screwing this up.
Not helping, brain! How do we get out of this?!
Hey, look! A distraction!
Just by the intersection, waiting by the stoplight, was a very familiar figure.
"Oh. Hifumi!"
Said student turned to the direction of my voice, her face brightening as we approached her.
"Ah. Sensei, good afternoon!" She greeted.
"Good afternoon." I greeted back, noticing the huge bag she was carrying.
"New merch?"
"Yeah. There was a new limited-edition Peroro-sama pillow I just had to get!" She nodded.
"That's great. Though, why isn't Azusa with you?"
"Oh, she had to do a make-up test. But I did get her one."
I narrowed my eyes at Hifumi.
"I-I triple-checked my schedule! I don't have any exams today, so I'm not gonna do any make-up work. Honest!" She stammered almost defensively.
"She is adorable." Uraraka-san whispered to me.
Yes. Yes, she is.
"Well, I won't take too much of your time, Hifumi. I hope you're telling the truth, because if you make an appearance at the next Make-Up Work Club..."
"Geez, don't bring that up, Sensei!" Hifumi exclaimed, clearly embarrassed.
"Deku-kun, I think you're teasing her too much." Uraraka-san piped in, grinning awkwardly.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. Uraraka-san, this is Ajitani Hifumi, one of my students at the Make-Up Work Club. Hifumi, this is Uraraka Ochako, an old classmate of mine."
Hifumi turned to Uraraka-san, her eyes lighting up in recognition.
"Oh! Aren't you the Pro Hero Uravity?"
"That I am! Didn't think I'd be known here, since there are no Pro Heroes stationed in Kivotos."
"Sensei actually talked about you quite a bit!"
"Oh, did he now?" Uraraka-san turned to me with a teasing grin.
Yup. The tables are about to be turned on me. The next few minutes were spent with Hifumi telling Uraraka-san about the times I told her about my old classmates. Hearing it from someone else, it does sound kinda embarrassing...
Trying to tune out their conversation, I checked my phone.
"Ah, Uraraka-san. We should get some lunch."
As if on cue, a growl was heard from said woman's stomach. Uraraka-san placed her hand over her stomach, face red.
"Y-Yeah, we should. Say, Hifumi-chan, do you want to join us?"
"I'd love to, but I really need to get this Peroro-sama pillow to Azusa-chan. You two have fun though. See you, Sensei!"
With a bow, Hifumi crossed the street and went on her way, presumably to the Trinity district.
"She. Was. Precious." Uraraka-san gushed, clearly smitten with Hifumi. She then turned to me with a smile.
"First, Miyu-chan, now Hifumi-chan. Deku-kun, are all your students that adorable?"
"I'm pretty sure I shouldn't answer that question..."
"Come on just tell me. I won't judge."
"I guess most of them are pretty adorable..."
"You have got to introduce me to more of them!"
"Ahahaha..."
Something tells me Uraraka-san won't let this go...
POV: 3rd Person
Hifumi made her way across the street with a spring in her step.
She got to meet one of Sensei's friends! Uraraka-san is also really nice, just like what Sensei said!
I could see why Sensei talks about her so much, she thought. I wonder how the rest of his friends are like...
She was about to turn and wave at the two adults when something caught the corner of her eye.
A black blur.
"Huh?" Hifumi quietly questioned, turning to the direction the saw the blur head towards.
Sensei's direction?
She tried to look for the shape, but she couldn't find anything. Must have been her imagi-
Wait.
Did that trash can always have a Halo?
Actually, upon closer inspection, she could see a pair of red eyes peeking from the lid.
It's looking at...
Sensei!
Is... Is Sensei in danger?!
She should tell him... But, it's his day off, and he's with his friend right now. She doesn't want to ruin his day off...
Steeling her resolve, Hifumi pulled out her phone and made a call.
"Hello? Hifumi-chan? It's late. Where are you right now?"
"Azusa-chan, get the others and meet me at the Jellies Arcade. Sensei needs our help."
"Huh? Hifumi-chan, what's-"
Azusa was cut off by Hifumi ending the call.
With that, Hifumi took a deep breath and made her way to the location, reaching for something in her bag.
I never thought I'd have to put this on again, but if it's to help Sensei...!
A brown paper bag was pulled out, with the telltale eyeholes and hastily scribbled on '5'.
No one will disturb Sensei on his day off. And Faust will make sure of that.
OMAKE:
"I can't believe you would send Aris out on her own!" Yuuka scolded the Saiba twins as they walked around town looking for the girl in question.
"Come on, Yuuka! She could use the experience!" Momoi defended.
"Onee-chan, you sent her out to get pudding that can only be bought at Trinity..." Midori sighed at her sister.
"Trinity?!" Yuuka almost shrieked out, making Momoi hide behind Midori. "And you sent her out alone?!"
"I-I wanted to do it myself, but..." Momoi stammered out.
"Onee-chan was in the middle of a raid event, and I was out getting a replacement keyboard..." Midori explained.
"... And Yuzu was asleep, which left Aris..." The older twin finished, trying to do her best to disappear behind Midori.
"... Let me guess. You told Aris it was a high level quest..." Yuuka said in a tone that was disturbingly calm.
"... If I say yes, will you promise not to be mad?" Momoi asked, still curled behind Midori.
"Momoi..." Yuuka growled out, making the girl tremble and whimper.
Midori sighed at her sister. Looking ahead, she saw a familiar figure at a cafe across the street.
"Ah. It's Sensei! Maybe he's seen Aris!" Midori excaimed, making Yuuka turn to the direction the younger Saiba sibling was pointing at.
"Sensei? He's off right now, maybe we shouldn't bother hi..." Yuuka trailed off, noticing that Sensei was with a woman that appeared around his age.
They were also sitting at a table together.
And appeared to be enjoying each other's company.
And... was Sensei blushing?!?!
"Wait. I know her. That's Pro Hero Uravity." Midori explained as her eyes lit up in recognition.
"Oh yeah! Sensei did mention he went to UA! He should know some of them. Think they're on a date?" Momoi teased, finally coming out from behind her sister.
A... date...?
"Onee-chan, don't say things like that." Midori frowned.
Sensei. On a date.
"Think about it, Midori!" Momoi wiggled her eyebrows at her sister. "They went to UA together! They surely had to have been classmates, maybe even friends. Heck, maybe even more than that, see them sparks?" She teased even more, pointing out how much Sensei appeared to be enjoying himself around Uravity.
Sensei. On a date. With someone he knew since high school.
"Yuuka, back me up here!" Momoi turned to the girl in question for support, only to receive silence.
"... Yuuka?" Midori asked in concern.
Said girl remained in place, staring in the direction of the cafe Sensei was in.
Momoi waved her hand in front of her eyes, and even tried snapping her fingers.
But to no avail.
"She's frozen!!!" The Saiba twins exclaimed in panic.
To be continued
I just HAD to end the chapter with a Gomen Yuuka. This took a while due to holidays and all, but I managed to finish it. Anyways, next chapter will involve more hijinks as the rest of the Makeup Work Club gets involved with the RABBIT Squad.
GaeaChronos is out. Peace!
