บท 51: Chapter 51: [No Title]
The following day, Shido stood at the rooftop of UA High School, observing the chaos that was occurring at the bottom.
A bunch of obstinate journalists stopped in front of the entrance door of the school, and all the students had to cross that sea of people to get to school. And to make matters worse, they had to be questioned by the journalists before being allowed to enter the school compound.
Shido was never as glad as today that he had a teleportation weapon and managed to dodge the sea of journalists' questioning.
*****************
Izuku was walking down the streets in silence with his head lowered when he suddenly found himself with a microphone under his mouth. Looking up with his eyes, he saw a bunch of journalists watching him with fierce eyes.
Seeing the situation around him, Izuku started panicking and started sweating.
"We learned that All Might became a teacher at UA high school. What can you tell us about him?"
"Ah..." Izuku didn't expect this question and so he dazed out and replied without thinking,"Well, he's a fantastic person..."
Immediately after, however, he woke up from his daze and apologised before escaping the journalists. Seeing that their 'target' escaped, some of them clicked their tongues before changing their target to another passing student.
"Lend us some thoughts of what it was like having the 'symbol of peace' standing before you at the podium of education!"
Their next target, Ochaco thought for a while before replying with a pose,"My thoughts?! Uh...he was really muscly! Yeah."
'Tch, that doesn't tell us anything...' The journalists thought before shifting their attention to a smart-looking student. 'He'll probably give us more information."
"What do you think of All Might's turn as a teacher?"
"It redoubles my awareness of the fact that I'm enrolled where I can reap the rewards of the pinnacle of hero training. It goes without saying that his authority and mien are awe-inspiring but so too are qualities such as his sense of humour. Now that we students will constantly be exposed to such an impressive role model, we will be able to study what one needs to possess in order to match the definition of a 'top hero' and furthermore..." Tenya droned on for another ten minutes before finally ending his little report.
"W-Wow...okay...Thanks for your insights..." The journalists started backing away in case he started talking for another ten minutes.
'Sigh, is there no one normal here?' The journalists thought.
Even Shota wasn't spared from their questioning, but with a 'kind' tone of voice, he shooed them away with his usual stoic expression.
Just at that moment, Shido was able to notice that not far from the group of journalists, a person who was unfamiliar to him was present. If it was any ordinary person, he wouldn't have bothered with him, but the person was acting really suspiciously. Therefore, he jumped from the rooftop and floated towards the group of people surrounding the entrance.
The person that Shido looked at, seeing this confusion, immediately started walking towards the door that covered the entrance but before even taking a few steps forward, he found a presence behind him and a slightly childish voice in his ear saying,"We have someone who wants to do something bad~?"
The person immediately turned his gaze to look at the person who stopped him with the corner of his eyes. The situation remained like this for a few seconds until the person, still looking at the child behind him, spoke with an irritated but calm tone of voice,"What do you want?"
"Nothing~" Shido told him in a playful tone,"We're just checking out a certain someone behaving so suspiciously around the school, so...what did you plan to do? Infiltrate the school? Or destroying school properties?"
At Shido's words, the person immediately moved his hand towards Shido, but he immediately froze because he felt a metallic touch on his neck.
"We have a bad boy here~" Shido paused before pressing his flintlock pistol harder onto the man in front of him,"And bad boys need punishment~"
"Tch..." Feeling Shido's threat, the person lowered his hand slowly, and Shido also put away his pistol.
In this way, the person turned around and went away, passing shoulder to shoulder with Shido who, in the meantime, continued to look at him with a smile without stopping him. The person's gaze, however, wasn't too happy.
"Your hair is a bit messy, you should get a haircut soon and maybe freshen up while you're at it." Yoshinon didn't forget to 'advice' the person as he went away.
Hearing the high-pitched, annoying words of the rabbit, the person's gaze became one full of rancour.
"Rasiel, who was that and what's his quirk?" Summoning his book, he asked.
[He is Tomura Shigaraki. His quirk is Decay/Five-fingered disintegration.]
Not getting anymore information on Tomura, he decided to return to the school. After all, Shota told him that today was the day where the people who will be class President and Vice-president will be decided. Not that it really mattered to him, but he still needed to be present though he doubted that he would even be doing anything anyway, given Shota's lazy personality.
Passing through the corridors, Shido met Shota.
"Good morning, Aizawa-sensei!" Shido and Yoshinon greeted cheerfully together, to which the teacher replied with a "Mhm" with his solitary expression devoid of desire and expressions.
"How boring...how about greeting with more emotions? You'll never be popular with your boring self, Aizawa-sensei." Yoshinon snickered.
Shota merely glanced at the puppet before turning his attention back to the corridor,"Shut up brat."
The three of them continued their friendly conversation, which consisted of mostly Yoshinon's snide remarks and Shota's occasional grunts of replies. Like this, the trio arrived at the classroom to do their teaching duties.
The lessons were the same as usual, the only difference was that the people elected as president and vice-president were Izuku and Momo respectively. The former was elected because of his strength and friendliness to everyone, and the latter because of her analytical and organisational skills.
Izuku in particular won over Momo because of his fight against Shido, while Momo was chosen because she was able to analyse the weaknesses and defects of the various battles that took place, thus demonstrating her abilities to her classmates.
The day ended peacefully without much trouble apart from Katsuki's temper (again). Shido, seeing that the sky now had a reddish colour symbolising the sunset, sighed.
'Yet another day without any news about...'
While being in the middle of his thoughts, a voice came from the entrance of the classroom where Shido was located,"Hey Shido!"
Turning around, Shido looked at the figure in the doorway and then smiled,"Uncle Toshinori!"
All Might immediately continued with a smile,"Do you want to go home now, or do you have to stop for something?"
Shido shook his head at his question and replied,"No, not at all. If we took any longer, I'm afraid that Eri would be lonely."
All Might merely smiled at his reply and started walking home.
On the way home, the peaceful silence between them was broken by Shido.
"Ne...do you think I'll ever find my parents?"
"Of course!" All Might stated without hesitation, but added in his mind 'Assuming that they're not dead, of course.'
Shido looked at All Might's expression and, as if he knew what he was thinking about, he shook his head.
"My parents aren't dead. I can feel it. Something like...a connection?" He pondered unsurely. He didn't know what the feeling was, but he was sure that his parents weren't dead. The only problem was that he didn't know where, or how, to find them.
All Might felt a bit sympathetic towards Shido. With an information system as strong as Shido's and still not being able to find someone, there was only one result - his parents were no longer in this world. 'He's not facing reality...'
'Sigh...' Both Shido and All Might sighed, though for different reasons.
*****************
"Today's a nice day right, Shido?" All Might said as he walked with Shido on the sidewalk towards the school.
When Shido did not answer his question, Yoshinon took the liberty to answer for him,"Yep! Today's a good day for ****** ******."
All Might just laughed when he heard the puppet's reply,"Hahaha, everyday's a good day for ****** ******."
All Might often asks these silly questions to cheer up the serious atmosphere a little or when the surroundings are too silent. Though both Shido and Eri didn't mind a comfortable silence, it seems that the loud Symbol of Peace was allergic to silence.
Just at that moment, from afar, Shido and All Might noticed that the situation became strange. They could see how a person with a quirk was causing confusion, panic and destruction and in front of him, there were some heroes that Shido and All Might immediately recognised as Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods.
Their condition was not the best, both had some signs of struggle including some bruises and cuts while their enemy did not show any kind of injuries. All Might, seeing the situation, immediately transformed into his muscular form once he checked around him if it was safe, and noticing that everyone was paying attention to what was happening, he did not think twice.
All Might sprinted into the pink enemy and, opening his hand flatly, he hit the enemy's head with the side, stunning him.
While he had just hit the villain, All Might realised that he had a whole family in his arms, so he immediately took the father, mother and daughter and brought them to the other heroes and policemen that were nearby.
Everyone looked at All Might with admiration as he solved something that two pro heroes couldn't do together with collaboration, while All Might did it alone.
Shido, seeing this situation, shook his head and mosaiced himself before approaching All Might who, in the meantime, remained there with the newly saved family, trying to calm the child down.
The enthusiasm of the civilians who were watching the situation, once they saw a glitching figure coming, skyrocketed.
Immediately everyone exclaimed,"It's Phantom!"
Hearing this, Shido shook his head. All Might and him should have imagined this situation, so they ignored the cheers of the crowd. Looking at All Might who finally managed to stop the little girl from crying, Shido realised that the little girl was now looking at him with two big eyes full of surprise.
"Wah! Pantom-san! You moo-sic is bary nice!" The barely three year old girl rushed out of All Might's arms and staggered towards Shido, who picked her up and hugged her instead.
"Hello little girl, thank you for your compliments! I'll sing a song in your district next, all right?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really really?"
"Really really."
"Really really really?"
"Really really really."
[A/N: Tohka reference. Was really cute the first time, but it got annoying after the tenth time.]
The little girl finally let him go after many confirmations and guarantees, and after receiving the district from her parents, he decided that it was time to leave.
"Then shall we go? After all, today is the day the students go to USJ. We need to inform them what awaits them."
All Might nodded at Shido's words and then stood up as he was on his knees,"You're right, we better go..."
The spectators, seeing All Might stand up, woke up from their amazement and immediately began to surround All Might and Shido, though their gazes at this moment were more on Shido.
Shido, seeing this reaction, let out a small sigh while All Might gave a small laugh,"Seems like your popularity has grown."
'Tell me more about it...' Shido complained a little in his mind, but he didn't hate it. People loved him for his music, and that was all that mattered.
Without waiting for the spectators to get too close, All Might jumped from his spot and into the air, away from all the people while Shido just teleported away, leaving the people behind.
