Chapter 141: Training
—
Like always, Neji woke up early in the morning and then brushed his teeth. He showered, spent a few minutes drying his body and 15 minutes doing his hair.
When he finished doing his hair, the door of his room was pushed open and his older sister came flying on his face.
"Neji!?~ Did you see the news?!" She pulled back her chest from his face and grabbed his chin with her hands while floating a few inches above the ground. "Did you hear, another of your classmates died!"
"Oh yes, I did hear." Neji nodded while putting his hands behind her waist. "Kinda sudden, to be honest. He was an arrogant guy, but he was a good person. To think he would pass away in an explosion."
"Right, I know! We never know when or what something might happen, so always be careful, okay? Neji, were you close to that kid? Are you mentally hurt? Do we need to go see a therapist?!" Nejire had genuine worry present in her eyes, which made Neji chuckle.
He turned around and pushed her on the bed, pushing her arms down from above. "Do I look like I was close to him?"
"...No~ I should have guessed. You are only close with your female classmates, after all." Nejire said with a frown. "I would be surprised if you haven't thought of fucking every girl in your class by now."
Neji shrugged. "Actually, only your second guess is right. About the first, I actually have close male friends…"
"Are you sure?"
"Maybe."
Nejire giggled at his answer and pushed him on the bed before rolling on top of him.
"Neji,"
"Yes?"
"I feel like you're planning something big. I don't know how to explain. Maybe just my older sister's intuition?" Nejire said on Neji's face. "So, tell me outright, are you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Neji simply answered as Nejire narrowed her eyes at him.
"Hmm, well okay. It's not like I have any solid proof. Whatever." She brought her face closer to him. "Neji~ there's still time left until school… Wanna play?"
"Oh of course," Neji ran his hand behind her back. "I am all for a morning game."
Their parents weren't home today. So the… game was absolutely steamy.
—★—
In school, when Neji entered the class, it was filled with whispers.
Neji greeted a few of his classmates and they greeted him back, but there was a lack of enthusiasm.
When he took a seat behind Momo, she turned to him with a worried look.
"Have you heard?" She asked, to which Neji nodded. "It's such a tragic phenomenon… I don't even know what to feel?"
"About that," Neji decided to bait her. "What do you feel about the company that manufactured the oven? Do you think, even though they had no intention to harm, they are the 'Villain' of this scenario? Do you support the lawsuit against them?"
Momo's lips thinned as she failed to come with an answer. "That-"
"No, I don't want an answer. I just want you to think about it." Neji rested his chin on his hand. "I want you to understand, the world isn't a painting of black and white. There is grey, and some brighter colours present in our society."
Momo simply stared at his face for a long time before turning forward and again thinking what she felt about this whole situation.
Meanwhile, from behind Neji, Ochako whispered. "Psst, hey Neji."
Neji turned to her.
"What are your parents' reactions to this whole situation?" asked Ochako Uraraka. "My parents are considering pulling me out of UA… I am kinda nervous that they'd actually do it."
Neji sighed softly and thought over his words.
"Well, my mother's been really loud too every time incidents like this took place. But you know, we don't stop her from living her dream, so she also keeps her words in check, making sure she never says stuff like pulling me out of something I enjoy." Neji said, recalling how his mother nearly caught him fucking Nejire this morning by suddenly returning, luckily by the time she returned Neji and Nejire already finished the job.
'But your parents do have a point.' Neji thought, visualising everything that the UA 1-st students had to go through in the Canon timeline, and that would probably be worse in this timeline when they'd try to stop Neji from his future not-so-heroic acts.
Maybe it's better for Uraraka to quietly quit school.
But of course, he couldn't say that to her face after talking about deep things like living your own dreams and stuff.
"Hey, Uravity." Neji suddenly had an idea about something. "Wanna hang out after school? You know, I was reading this chapter in our physics book yesterday, and the concept of Gravity never failed to intrigue me. I wanna learn a bit more about it via your quirk… if you don't mind."
"Oh…" Ochako was about to answer in affirmation immediately, but she noticed Momo sitting in front of Neji and softly pointed her finger. "But, um, won't your girlfriend mind?"
Neji smirked at her. "Why would she? We aren't doing anything that can be considered as 'cheating' are you? Momo isn't that possessive of me that she won't let me hang out with a friend… Unless you're imagining something more than that in that pervy mind of yours?"
"H-hey!!" Ochako blushed, yelling very quietly, which gained another smirk from Neji.
Then, Neji had to turn around because Aizawa Sensei walked inside the classroom, looking all tired.
Aizawa dropped all his documents on the desk and sighed.
"I am sure you have heard about it by now, but for those lucky enough to not get their sleep ruined, let me get you up-to-date."
With that, Aizawa started to explain the situation to the students again. The whole classroom stayed silent, unable to think of a reaction.
—★—
After class that day, Neji decided to take Ochako to his home. So he brought her to his car.
"Oh-ho~?" Kimi, sitting on the driver's seat, covered her mouth to hide a smirk. "What is this, young master? Are you cheating on your girlfriend with another girl?"
"Uh…" Ochako froze beside Neji, who sighed.
"Kimi, you're making her feel uncomfortable." Neji stared at her dryly. "You're being a bad maid, do you want me to reduce your 'salary'?"
"Hey, why so serious?" Kimi trailed off and walked out of the car to open the door for Neji and Ochako. "I am just joking. Miss, my young master is a very nice boy. He doesn't cheat, don't worry."
Technically, it's not cheating if the girl he's sleeping with is in his 'Harem'. Besides that, Kimi didn't consider 'flirting' as cheating.
Ochako still seemed flustered, but upon seeing inside the car, her jaws widened a bit.
"Whoa…"
She gulped as she stepped inside the car behind Neji, careful and slow.
Seeing her reaction, Kimi narrowed her eyes before shrugging.
'Oh well… I doubt he's being tricked by a gold digger.'
She smiled and leaned over. "Also, Nejire went to Ryukyu's agency mid-class, so you have the whole car to yourselves~ Don't dirty it, though."
"..."
Ochako's blush deepened while Kimi held back a laugh and closed the door and then stepped inside the car herself.
Inside, she met a dissatisfied Kurai sitting on her paws beside the driver's seat.
Kurai was expecting to go to the dungeon today, but no, her Papa was considerate enough to bring a human in the car. Now, she won't even be able to talk properly and only Meow like a cat.
Though then again, her mommy could understand all her meows, while she could talk to her Papa via the telepathic connection their Master-Familiar bond shared.
After growling in cat, Kurai jumped as Kimi laughed and started the car.
—★—
Ochako's reaction was something to see when the car stopped in front of the Hado Mansion.
She nearly passed out, but luckily she didn't because of Neji's words trying to create a comfort zone for her.
Ochako was invited to eat stuff she never even heard the name about, and meet Neji's sweet mother at the dining table.
All in all, today was a weird but great experience for her… until she was brought to Neji's training ground, where she was about to faint again.
"Y-you mean this thing, as big as a football field, is your training hall?" Ochako asked with her mouth wide open.
"Well, yeah, I guess." Neji rubbed the back of his neck, feeling weirdly embarrassed. "Don't think much of it."
"Oh…" Ochako's eyes turned blank. "My whole apartment is the size of this place's changing room."
"..."
Neji couldn't help but feel awkward at that. He scratched his neck and decided to move on from this topic.
"Anyway, Ochako. Why don't we start by floating me in the air?" Neji asked as he reached out his arm for Ochako to touch.
Uraraka cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure, as she touched his arm and then touched the fingertips of both her hands together.
What that caused was Neji's body to get out of the earth's gravity zone, and enter the state of Zero Gravity like Uraraka's Hero name suggested.
"Wow." Neji spun in the air, taking in the weird sensation, as he tried to feel the concept behind it using his recently gained Gravity Manipulation.
After nearly 30-seconds of staying afloat, Neji closed his eyes and took in a deep breath just as gravity returned and he fell face-first the ground.
"Ah?!" Ochako ran to him, as he slowly sat up while rubbing his nose. "I-I don't know what happened, I am so sorry! It wasn't intentional!!"
Neji waved it off. "It's fine, happens from time to time."
'It worked.'
Neji was happy. Unlike how when he got Eyes of the Lord, this time there was no instruction already present in his mind that let him know how to control gravity. So he had to learn that from scratch…
The only information his quirk page let him know was:
[Gravity Manipulation - Level 1: A Quirk that grants the ability to generate and manipulate Gravity, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe.
–Upon increasing the levels, more power would be allowed to generate and more control would be gained in manipulation.]
Neji kept rubbing his nose as he accepted the truth, this power needed his entire attention because this… This was a power that can turn the tides of any battle.
