Kapitel 192: Chapter 191: The Magical School
At three o'clock in the afternoon, during the sixth period of Hero Basics, the next lesson, Hero Information Studies, was conducted by Class 1-A's homeroom teacher, Aizawa.
"We'll end the lesson here for now. Next, I have some important announcements," Aizawa said as he closed the textbook on his desk. His calm tone immediately sparked a wave of curiosity and tension among the twenty students seated before him.
"Don't tell me it's another exam…"
Kirishima muttered internally, already feeling a bit anxious. Back in junior high, his academic performance had been solid, after all, he'd managed to pass U.A.'s written entrance exam, right?
But things had changed since enrolling here. After several weeks of classes and a few mock tests, it became painfully clear to him that the limited knowledge he had wasn't enough to keep up.
This wasn't just the country's top hero school because of its Hero Course; the academic standards in every subject were equally rigorous! That realization had turned him from a confident student into someone who now flinched at the very mention of exams.
Unfortunately, his fears were spot-on this time.
"A week from now, on Friday, you will have your midterm exam," Aizawa announced coldly, ignoring the collective groans and nervous expressions spreading through the room. "I don't want to see anyone in this class failing."
His slightly red eyes scanned the class as he spoke, making it clear that he wasn't issuing an empty warning.
The sound of a heavy textbook hitting the desk punctuated his statement, and with that, Aizawa turned, opened the classroom door, and left.

The school bell rang moments later, breaking the tense silence in the room. The familiar sound quickly dispelled the heavy atmosphere, bringing a collective sigh of relief from the students.
"Whew…" Mina Ashido exhaled deeply, patting her chest. "Even though I've kind of gotten used to it by now, every time Mr. Aizawa speaks, I can't help but feel nervous!"
"It's his aura," Kaminari thought to himself. Before, he hadn't been able to put his finger on it, but now he was certain. He'd sensed something akin to spiritual pressure emanating from their teacher.
It's like he's merged his spiritual energy with his natural presence, amplifying his influence on others.
Reflecting on this, Kaminari realized it was somewhat similar to Conqueror's Haki from One Piece. However, Aizawa's aura wasn't strong enough to knock people unconscious or physically damage objects, it was more about psychological pressure.

"Kaminari, Kyoka!"
Just as the students began packing their things and preparing to head home, Momo's voice called out, stopping the two in their tracks.
"Hmm?"
"What's up?"
Kaminari and Kyoka turned to her with puzzled expressions, and Kaminari added with a faint smile, "If this is about tutoring, I'm afraid it'll have to wait until tomorrow. I need to head home early today—family stuff, you know how it is."
His expression shifted slightly, betraying his exhaustion. It had been a long day, and on top of that, he hadn't slept the night before, leaving him with little energy to take in any extra information.
"I understand," Momo replied with a warm smile. "But that's not why I stopped you."
"Oh?"
Both Kaminari and Kyoka exchanged glances, now even more curious.
"It's about the band," Momo continued.
As soon as she said this, the two realized their guess had been spot on. However, this only deepened their confusion, what could have happened with the band?
"I received a performance invitation yesterday," Momo explained. "And don't worry, I remember what you told me before about avoiding commercial gigs during school. But after reading the details and conducting a little investigation, I believe this is something we should consider."
Kaminari raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."
Kyoka, twirling one of her headphone jacks between her fingers, also focused on Momo, waiting for her explanation.
"The invitation comes from Seifu Elementary School, a private institution in Tokyo with a history of 134 years," Momo began.
"The invitation was sent by the current principal, Takashima Nagaseki. He reached out because he wants to fulfill a promise his late father made to the school's children."
Her tone softened, and a hint of sadness crept into her expression as she continued.
"Takashima Nagaseki's father, the former chairman and principal of Seifu Elementary, passed away a week ago from a heart attack. He was only 74."
Both Kaminari and Kyoka nodded silently, acknowledging the tragedy.
"A month before his death, Mr. Takashima had stepped down from his position as chairman and delivered a farewell speech to the students and staff. During that speech, he made a promise to invite our band, specifically Kaminari Denki and Jiro Kyoka, to visit the school and perform for the children."
Momo paused to let this sink in before adding, "He made this promise because all 513 students and staff members at Seifu Elementary are huge fans of Pokémon."
With that, she pulled out her phone and began scrolling through the photos she'd gathered.
"Take a look at this," she said, holding the phone out to Kaminari and Kyoka.
---
The first photo showed a classroom, but every surface in the room—desks, chairs, the podium, the clock, the floor, even the trash cans was adorned with Pokémon designs.
Before Kaminari could react, the photo switched to the next slide, revealing an outdoor playground. Once again, the entire area was themed around Pokémon.
The soccer goals were shaped like Grimer with their mouths wide open, while the basketball court featured two towering Charizards holding brazier-shaped hoops.
Over the next minute, Momo showed them a series of twenty photos, each depicting different parts of the school. From the cafeteria to the bathrooms, every corner of Qingfeng Elementary had been transformed into a Pokémon-themed wonderland.
---
"This… this is insane!" Kaminari finally exclaimed, struggling to find the right words.
Beside him, Kyoka was completely dumbfounded, unable to form a response.
"I thought it was an exaggeration at first too," Momo admitted, "but after confirming it with my investigation, it's clear that every classroom—actually, every part of the school, has been decorated like this. It was all done in just two weeks following the premiere of the Pokémon anime."
"The late Mr. Takashima used his month-and-a-half vacation to oversee the entire transformation personally. According to his son, Principal Takashima Nagaseki, his father did it all for one simple reason: to make the children happy."

Kapitel 193: Chapter 192: Identity Exposed?!
"Well, it does seem that all these Pokémon decorations have drawn more students to enroll in the school. From a practical perspective, it's a good strategy, though I doubt an elderly man like Takashima was thinking about it that way," Kaminari remarked thoughtfully.
"Did they get authorization?" he asked suddenly, his tone sharp and direct.
While private individuals don't necessarily need authorization to use cartoon images as long as there's no intent to profit, private schools using them as a branding tool or feature typically do.
He didn't mean to detract from the old man's heartfelt efforts, but rules were rules, and this was a significant matter.
"Uh… I'm not sure about that," Momo replied, blinking at his sudden question. "That doesn't seem like the main issue here, does it?"
"Alright, I'll ask my dad about it tonight. As for the invitation, I'm fine with it in principle," Kaminari said after some thought. "But whatever we decide, it has to happen after the midterm exams. I don't want this to interfere with Kyoka's preparations."
Kyoka blinked in surprise. "Kaminari, I'll be fine—really."
"No," Kaminari replied firmly. "No matter how touching or important this is, it's still something external. You, and what's important to us, come first. That's final."
His tone left no room for argument, and Kyoka could only nod slightly, feeling a small warmth at how much he cared about her progress.
Turning back to Momo, Kaminari added, "I can't say anything for sure right now. I'll get back to you later with a definite answer after speaking with my dad."
"Understood," Momo agreed easily. Though she strongly supported the idea of accepting the invitation as the band's manager, she understood that Kaminari, as the team's 'captain,' had the final say.
With the matter settled for the time being, the three of them—well, four, since Tetsutetsu had joined them left the school building together. They bid farewell in front of U.A.'s protective barrier and headed off to their respective homes.
---
As they walked, they bumped into Midoriya, who had just left school as well.
When asked why he was still there so late, Midoriya hesitated before mentioning that All Might had kept him back to talk. He didn't elaborate on the details, but Kaminari couldn't help noticing the solemn expression on his face.
---
Once they boarded the Shinkansen, Kaminari leaned against the window and looked out at the bustling platform. After a moment of thought, he softly asked Tetsutetsu, "What do you think of Midoriya?"
"Midoriya?" Tetsutetsu repeated, caught off guard by the question. "Honestly, I didn't like him at first. He seemed… timid, y'know? But now…"
He hesitated, searching for the right words.
"…I've noticed he's grown a lot braver. And fast. Just like how his strength keeps improving."
"Exactly," Kaminari agreed, turning back to face him as the train began to move. The scenery outside the window blurred, and Kaminari's voice lowered slightly. "It's been barely three months since we started school, but the change in him is almost ridiculous. When we first got here, he could barely speak properly in front of Bakugo, but now he stands his ground without hesitation."
Tetsutetsu nodded. "Yeah, his confidence seems to grow as his strength does. But why are you so curious about him?"
Kaminari ignored the question, his gaze distant as he rested his chin on his hand. "It's not just his confidence. The speed of his growth… it doesn't make sense."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it," Kaminari began, his tone analytical. "From what we've seen, his transformation began right when he entered U.A. In just three months, he's gone from being basically an ordinary guy to someone strong enough to stand toe-to-toe with people like you, Tokoyami, and even Bakugo. Don't you think that's a little… unnatural?"
Tetsutetsu frowned, considering Kaminari's words.
"Especially since I remember Bakugo mentioning during the fitness test on our first day that Midoriya used to be Quirkless," Kaminari added, his golden eyes narrowing slightly. "If they've been childhood friends, Bakugo would've known if Midoriya had any kind of Quirk before."
"You're saying he only started using his Quirk after entering U.A.?" Tetsutetsu asked, tilting his head.
"Exactly," Kaminari confirmed. "So here's the question—can someone who's never used their Quirk before really become this strong in just three months? Look around the class. Even Todoroki, with all his natural talent, isn't improving at this rate."
Tetsutetsu mulled over the comparison before suddenly pointing at Kaminari with a grin. "Wait a minute, you're improving just as fast, aren't you? If anything, you're probably even faster than Midoriya!"
Kaminari chuckled lightly and shook his head. "It's different for me. I've been training my Quirk for years, so what you're seeing now is just the result of that foundation. If I started from scratch like Midoriya, there's no way I'd be this strong already."
The thought made Kaminari pause for a moment. Wait… does this sound like I'm jealous of Midoriya?
He quickly dismissed the idea, though a faint frown lingered on his face. Jealous? Me? Of Midoriya? That's impossible… right?
"Wait a second," Kaminari muttered suddenly, his expression shifting as a new thought struck him.
"What's wrong?" Tetsutetsu asked, confused.
"The focus isn't just on his growth rate. It's his Quirk… and All Might," Kaminari said, his voice calm but sharp.
"What about All Might?"
"Don't you think Midoriya's Quirk feels… similar to All Might's?" Kaminari asked, meeting Tetsutetsu's gaze. "And have you noticed how All Might treats Midoriya differently from everyone else? It's like they already knew each other before U.A."
Tetsutetsu blinked, surprised by the observation. "Are you saying they have some kind of special relationship?"
"Exactly," Kaminari replied. "I think they're either related, or…"
"Father and son?" Tetsutetsu blurted out.
Kaminari stared at him for a moment before shaking his head. "No. They don't look anything alike, there's nothing similar about them at all."
"True," Tetsutetsu admitted. "Then what?"
"If there's any relationship between them, I think it's more likely that of a master and apprentice," Kaminari said thoughtfully.
He leaned back slightly, crossing his arms. "Think about it. Midoriya's Quirk is eerily similar to All Might's. And if Midoriya really was Quirkless before, it would make sense that he never used it until recently. Maybe All Might saw his potential and decided to take him under his wing after school started."
"That would explain a lot," Tetsutetsu said, nodding. "If All Might's been personally training him, it's no wonder he's improving so fast."
Kaminari fell silent for a moment, letting the theory settle in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more it all added up.
"Yeah," he murmured finally. "That must be it. Midoriya… is All Might's disciple."
And with that realization, everything about Midoriya's rapid growth suddenly made sense.
After all, if All Might, the Symbol of Peace was personally training you, wouldn't it be natural to get stronger faster than anyone else?
