章 12: Chapter 12
It was one day before the weekend, and as I walked around the rescue site, a teacher who was a woman dressed in a spacesuit was showing us the basics of rescuing.
"What's the matter? Are you finding something hard to understand?" Nejire asked me. It was obvious that I was absent-minded.
I stopped chewing on my nail and put my hand down. I turned to her, saying, "Not really."
"You've been acting like that recently?" Nejire asked, "Are you nervous for tomorrow?"
Right. Tomorrow, we had a gym date.
But that's not why I'm nervous.
The real reason was because I'm after the Hero Killer, Stain. Unlike me, Stain was good at fighting real heroes with real powers and years of training. Would I be able to sneak up on such a person and steal his DNA? Even with all of the power-ups in the world, I was a bit doubtful. Not to mention that I'd be doing something against the law – being vigilant -- which could get me kicked out of the school and even a year in a detention center if I were unlucky. The risks were so high, but the reward overshadowed them.
"Is that so? I never noticed." I replied.
Trying to shift the conversation direction, I said, "Forget about me, tell me how was your day. You haven't posted on social media for long."
Placing her finger on her bottom lip, Nejire replied, "I know, right. To have normal study at day, and hero course in the noon, it was quite exhausting. And my quirk uses up my stamina, which leaves me a bit tired after the lessons where I use my quirk. I guess I was oversleepy these days. Does your quirk consume stamina?"
I nodded, "If I overused it, then yes."
"Then we are similar types," she replied in an innocent tone before smiling, "Guess we could help each other?"
I tilted my eyebrow, thinking of something that was stamina-consuming and burned a lot of calories in the short term.
"How?" I asked.
She smiled. "By spotting each other, obviously."
Closing my eyes, I nodded. That works too.
"Come over here, Kenshiro," the teacher then called me. She was a woman around 180cm dressed in a white spacesuit design with a helmet over her head.
Her hero name was 13, Black Hole happened to be the name of her quirk as she could release a black hole from her finger that could absorb most things. It was said that even light can't escape her sucking power. It made me wonder what else she could suck? Her quirk had high potential in battle, yet she had chosen to be a rescue hero.
'I wonder how much that quirk is worth in the system.' I was thinking of money. I wasn't going to live broke. But Mineta was going to.
"Now, Kenshiro-san. You see the dolls on the water," she pointed at the lake, "I want you to save 5 of them before the timer runs out." She held a timer in her hand.
I was dressed in my hero costume, which we were free to design. I was never someone believing in flashy styles or something. All I wanted was a practical costume that suited my quirk. As a quirkless person – a warrior, I requested a bulletproof gray shirt, black pants, and a leather jacket. Basically, modern armor.
Frowning at the fact I was going to get wet, I jumped into the water to do the rescue training.
-x-X-x-
Today was the weekend, which meant that I had a day to go after the devilish hero killer. According to the anime, he would be in the city where Gran Torino lived. It was less than an hour away using the train, which meant that I had time to have a quick date, and then to achieve my mission.
"Achoo." I sneezed, remembering how I had to swim in the class of Black Hole. That salty teacher wanted me to catch the flu just because I was chatting with a girl while she was talking. I bought a magical medicine from the trading system, which cleared my system instantly and treated my flu. Those otherworldly stuff were good.
When I arrived at the central gym with my gym bag on my shoulder, I found Nejire standing at the entrance and waving her hand at me. She wore sports tight pants and a shirt with sleeves, which failed to contain her huge melons. Moreover, I had a better look at her curvy body. Man. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited.
"Kenshiro San. You arrived earlier than I expected," she said, opening her arms to me for a hug, which I didn't refuse and hugged her back.
"You too." I replied, noticing that she was here earlier than we agreed on. I mean, even I was 10 minutes early.
"I had a morning run, so I got here earlier." she said.
"You don't appear you have run, you smell nice," I said, not noticing a hint of sweat on her.
"Maybe because I had a lot of stamina," she replied, pulling away from the hug and looking at my collar bone. "You have big arms."
"Every day is an arm day." I replied.
She gave my thigh a small fist, "And you don't sound like you skip leg days."
Jokingly, I said, "Hope you are not into arms only."
"Actually, I don't like boys whom legs are smaller than mine, that's all." Nejire replied. This girl, for sure, speaks whatever on her mind.
Somehow, I liked it. But I guess if she talked innocently what's in her mind, she would offend some people, lose friends, and so. I mean, If I talked what's in my dark mind innocently, I won't just lose some friends. I won't just turn family against me… God only knows.
'She is a good person to have innocent thoughts like that.'
"What about boys with smaller boobs," I teased, looking at my chest, "or no boobs at all."
She filled her cheeks with air, before chuckling, "Hahaha. Let's get in."
I then entered the gym with her, registering myself, before we got into doing it. I got a few hundred-kilogram dumbbells and started working on my arms. Forgetting about Nejire for a second, I focused on how much I improved after becoming a 1st rank warrior and 3rd stage Qi refining cultivator. The weights had gotten way lighter, and I could approach the 700-kilogram in curling, no, I can surpass it. What am I doing here again? It's just a date, no need to be serious.
"Aren't you going to use your aura?" Nejire asked. When I turned my head, I saw her jumping on a rope that was barely visible.
"If I used it, I'd have more force, not strength. What about you?" I asked.
"I don't need to use my quirk. Just improving my stamina," she replied.
"How long are you going to keep doing that?" I asked her. From how comfortably she was talking, I thought she would take a long time.
"Not much," she replied, "Around a half hour to an hour."
I shook my head. The day was still long, and I still had time to go after Stain later. I didn't mind calling off one school day.
After working on myself for a while, I looked at my gains as I stared in the mirror.
"Kenshiro, can you spot me here?" Nejire asked.
The face that was staring at me in the mirror changed its expression. I could swear that for a second, I saw a devil, before being replaced by an angel. I turned to Nejire and walked over to her, seeing that she was taking a squat stance with extra weight on the sides. She was working on her stamina, so it was possible that she could get overtired and the weights could fall on her.
"I got you," saying that, I got behind her and placed my hands on her shoulders. As she squatted, I moved with her. I won't lie, I was quite aroused and I couldn't keep my hand on her upper back as the huge cheeks down there took all of my attention.
Once her legs started getting shaky, I held the weight and pressed myself against her, saying, "You can do it, a few more times."
She squatted slowly, and so did I. For a second, my crotch was pressed against her hips.
I would lie if I said that a switch wasn't flipped in me. I looked at the mirror to see what kind of expression she made. If she was offended, I'd take a step back. If she was okay with it, I'd go along.
She had pinkish cheeks and gentle eyes, and she was still pushing the weights. As she stood up, she did another squat, and I followed suit. Looking at the mirror again, I could tell that she wasn't against it. She seemed to like it.
"More," I said, and so she did, even though her legs were about to collapse.
"You've got this!" I urged, more excited than her.
"Urghgh," she struggled.
"You can do it!" I encouraged, "Imagine losing to a villain because you couldn't do one more!"
Motivated, she did a few more reps. Finally, she dropped to her knees,. I held the bar from falling, and I looked at the mirror, a muscular young man with shorts that couldn't hide his huge boner.
Nejire turned her head to me, "And you're doing curls with a weight that could kill me." She then looked at my body, and stopped for a second.
Since we were in public, I wished that Nejire's personality, which urged her to speak whatever was on her mind, didn't emerge in this particular moment.
"Nice thing you got down there," she said, smiling with her cheeks turning a bit pink. "But you should hold on to yourself."
'Don't blush. Don't blush. It's bit embarrassing.'
"Nejire, I'm a dude. I can't spot you without that happening," I replied.
"So, you like me," she spoke. "It's okay, I like you too."
"Wanna have a coffee break?"
"Sure."
After hitting the shower, we met outside at a café. We chatted a bit before I accompanied her to the metro station, where she would go home. Despite her talking about things, I wasn't actually paying attention. She was complaining that some people in our class were thinking that she was looking down at their quirks because she just spoke her mind, which she wasn't.
I didn't offer a solution to her trouble. I just said that I hoped she'd be fine and that I'm sorry it happened to her, and she shrugged it off by asking me questions about my personal life. I only answered minimally. Other than my secret, I was not an interesting person. All I did was work out or stay in my room and train or trade. Just tonight I'd broken the cycle by going on a date and then going after a crazy villain later.
When her metro came, she looked at me, saying, "So it's goodbye."
"Yeah, I enjoyed my time with you," I said whatever cliché came to mind. "Want to go out again?"
"I'd love to," she said before staring at my lips.
That's the universal sign. I looked back at her lips. Our faces approached each other, my lips landing on hers. It was a very small kiss, yet it made my face vibrate.
She took her lips back, her face quite pinkish, saying, "See you tomorrow then." She then went to catch her train.
After that, I wiped my fluffy lips. I started planning my future with her. But nothing is guaranteed, so I decided to hold my thoughts. I had something else to focus on, which was a mission that could bring me a huge passive income over the year.
I went to the train station. I had already booked a trip to the next city. I opened my system's storage, looking for the stuff I had.
[Invisibility Talisman]
[Smoke bombs]
[Shinobi armor.]
I checked my list before entering my train. Time to hunt the Hero Killer's DNA.
