Chapter 39 - A normal day

[A few days later] [Friday - 10:00 a.m.]

"Well you can do it, tell me, if someone is drinking tea and suddenly it falls to the ground, how would that person feel?" Oboro asked Doryoku quite calmly while Aizawa and Hizashi looked expectant as well.

It was already lunchtime, but the four friends sat in their respective places to try and teach Doryoku a bit about basic feelings.

Doryoku thought deeply as he wrote the question at the bottom of his notebook with his right hand and then thought carefully about the answer.

The tension was palpable and the atmosphere felt like a who wants to be a millionaire session, until Doryoku decided to respond.

"He would feel... happy?" Doryoku said in a confused tone causing the rest of his friends to let out a disappointed sigh.

"Almost Suzuki, almost" said Aizawa who couldn't believe that he felt tension for a moment.

"Why not? I don't like tea, and if someone forces me to drink it and it falls to the ground I would be quite happy and relieved" Doryoku said quite confused making the rest of his friends shake their heads in denial.

"Do not overthink bro, if you have something that you are enjoying and it is ruined you feel sad, quite simple, although the tea is for pretentious Englishmen so I do not blame you" said Oboro with an explanatory and thoughtful tone when remembering the English while Doryoku nodded and he wrote a note in his notebook.

But the pencil slipped from Doryoku's hand, and when he picked up the pencil, he began to write normally... with his left hand.

"What the hell? I thought you were right-handed Suzuki!!" Hizashi said in shock raising his glasses in quite confusion just like Aizawa.

"Ohh, I didn't say it, right? I'm ambidextrous" Doryoku said with a calm tone and a bit sorry for not remembering that detail.

"Let's say, for a while I had a mania for my right arm, and I used my left arm for many things until I could use both perfectly for everything" said Doryoku with a calm smile while Oboro made a sad face when he knew the whole story.

"I see, it can be quite useful actually" Aizawa said thoughtfully as he considered all the possible practical uses of that.

"Well never mind, I'm starving let's go!" said Oboro changing the subject because he was very hungry and looking for his backpack.

Doryoku put his things away quickly and everyone went to the dining room to get his food like every day.

——————

—————————

In the dining room, Doryoku ate his beet salad painfully while he was surrounded by his group.

Next to Doryoku were Aizawa and Oboro and in front of him was Azami who was also surrounded by Mirai to her left and Hizashi to her right.

And besides this, next to Oboro was Sakurai, who had decided to sit there due to today's boredom.

"Ugh, I'm already feeling tight here" said Aizawa who had barely gotten used to 6 people and now there were 7.

"It seems that the plan went quite well, how good I am at this" said Oboro with a lot of pride when he saw that he helped in all this.

"Is that why you told us about a fake concert about a new band called the caterpillars?!" Hizashi said with quite indignation as he remembered that tragic day just like Aizawa.

"Sorry, it was for a good reason!!" Oboro said feeling quite guilty... And relieved to be out of Hizashi and Aizawa's reach.

"You are very funny guys, it is very nice to be here" Yoshino said with a very kind and gentle smile.

There were various reactions, Aizawa ignored her like a real man, Hizashi and Oboro had their hearts melted, Mirai looked at her with great suspicion and Azami simply returned the greeting with the same attitude.

And Doryoku, he felt quite strange after seeing Yoshino's true attitude.

"Hi girl, do you want me to tell you about how I got through Dark Souls without taking damage?" Oboro said using his ample skills to flirt, exactly, none.

Some students around them seemed a bit surprised to see Yoshino in the group of weirdos, it was indeed something very interesting to see.

"Of course! You sure did try very hard to achieve it" Yoshino said with a kind and cheerful attitude as she clasped her hands and Oboro smiled proudly.

Some time later, the students continued their business and looked away losing interest in the subject, to which Yoshino grabbed Oboro by the tie and abruptly brought him closer to her.

"Listen to me well you try of generic protagonist with a band on the nose, I swear that if you tell me the attack pattern of a boss again I will castrate you with a spoon" Yoshino said with a threatening and crude attitude but trying not to let anyone hear her out of the table, causing Oboro to nod nervously several times and the rest of the group get shocked for a moment.

"I knew it, I know a liar when I see it!" Mirai said with a wide smile upon discovering Yoshino's true attitude.

"Yes and what will you do blonde? Will you tell your daddy?" Yoshino said with her typical sarcastic attitude and a mocking smile.

Under her thought there was no problem in being herself at that table, after all no one believes a weirdo over a pretty and good girl.

"Hohoho watch your language bubblegum, I'll make you swallow your words" Mirai said with an aggressive smile and rolling up her sleeves for the beating.

"Wait Mirai don't get carried away so much!" Azami said holding a furious Mirai as Yoshino looked at her in quite surprise at her reaction.

"I like you blonde, at least you have some character, not like the attempt of friends I had" said Yoshino with enough appreciation making Mirai stop suddenly and smile knowingly.

"Look what you created friend!!" Oboro said quite scared whispering loudly and causing Yoshino to have a vein on her forehead.

"Did you say something graying?" Yoshino said quite furious and taking a fork to threaten Oboro.

But when pointing to that side, she met Doryoku who had exchanged places with Oboro... against his will it should be noted, causing Yoshino to calm down enough and remove the fork from him to continue eating quietly.

"Where did the aggressiveness go?" Mirai said a little disappointed when she saw that Yoshino stopped her threaten.

"I can't stab him, look at him, he's so harmless it would be like hitting a cat" Yoshino said with a bit of annoyance as she pointed at a pensive Doryoku.

"Unless it scratch you" Mirai said understanding Yoshino's point of view and adding an extra.

"We are already understanding each other, exactly, if he scratches me or is too clever, he becomes someone's completely stabbing, but the rest is fine like this" Yoshino said smiling with enough recognition as did Mirai.

"How am I supposed to feel about that?" Doryoku asked quite curiously as he looked at the rest of his group.

"Good I guess, you're not stabbed are you?" Aizawa said quite calmly giving a very good point of view as Oboro and Hizashi ate nervously and Azami seemed a bit worried about Mirai's bad friends.

Lunch continued in the most normal way possible until Yoshino noticed something quite strange...

"Hey, what about the tragedy face while eating?" Yoshino asked Doryoku when she saw that Doryoku always made a face when he chewed.

At the sudden question Oboro gave a little jump in fear and Doryoku stopped eating for a moment to look at Yoshino.

"Eating the same thing is always unhealthy and it doesn't do me any good, so every now and then I ask for this, basically it's the opposite of what I always ask for, so it gives me all the nutrients I need" said Doryoku in an explanatory tone and a little hurt as he continued to eat.

Just as Oboro was about to offer some of his shrimps, Yoshino held her pudding closer to Doryoku taking everyone by surprise.

"You can eat it, at least something good has to come out of that disgraceful face" Yoshino said with a calm expression making everyone at the table have a better impression of her.

"Thanks, but it's not that bad, you don't have to run out of dessert" Doryoku said with a slight grateful smile but cordially refusing.

"Who said I would run out of dessert?" Yoshino said with a mischievous smile as everyone looked very confused.

Suddenly, Yoshino turned around and touched the shoulder of one of the class 1-B students, drawing his attention and causing him to turn around.

"Excuse me, I would like to know where you got that pudding from cute boy? I adore them but when it was my turn there weren't any" Yoshino said with a gentle and charming attitude melting the boy's heart instantly.

"Y-you can take m-mine" said the boy with a completely red face and quite nervous.

"No need, just tell me where you got it from" Yoshino said with a sweet smile finishing cajoling the boy.

And in the end, Yoshino not only got the pudding from the boy but also got the pudding from the one next to him, two in one.

"Oh the youth, it just makes my job simpler" Yoshino said with a calm smile as she ate her pudding making all the best impression smiles changed to nervous ones.

"I have to learn to do that" Mirai said in a low voice with slight envy as Azami looked at her in shock.

"I guess she's fine as long as we don't bother her" Aizawa said shrugging at the new member of the group.

"Yeah, I guess" said Oboro also agreeing with Aizawa and deciding to switch positions with Doryoku permanently, obviously that had nothing to do with Yoshino...

And after chatting a little more with her and getting to know a little more about her quirk, which not only allowed her to make spheres but also any other thing that did almost anything (with the one peculiarity that it was always pink), in addition to learning more of her personality, the day went on normally.

After class, Last laser finished with all his pending documents and went to Director Nezu's office like every Friday to deliver his work.

"As always an impeccable work Akira-san, it is a delight to read" Director Nezu said with quite satisfaction to see the impeccable documents of Last laser.

Last laser nodded in appreciation of the compliment until he heard the door slam open.

"I'm lateeeeeeee!!" High command said, abruptly entering and leaving his documents next to Last laser's, although they seemed a lot more wrinkled.

"Eiji-san, your work is not completely flawless but I know how horrible you are at this and how hard it is for you to do so, so they have the same value" Director Nezu said with a calm and appreciative smile.

"*Sniff* Don't say that it will make me cry, even if I'm not talented I always do my best!" High command said taking the compliment quite dramatically and making Last laser let out a tired sigh.

"Have a nice weekend and rest!" Director Nezu said saying goodbye to them after talking some details and wishing them a happy weekend.

Last laser and High command walked towards the exit of the UA while discussing a strategic plan of heroes.

"Shall we play Pool or Poker this weekend?" High command asked with quite a bit of expectation and curiosity.

"I prefer Pool, I don't get along with gambling and if I calculate the cards it would be boring" Last laser said calmly while High command nodded in agreement with the idea.

The two were separated until tomorrow and Last laser was walking calmly to home.

His home was not far away (at least from his perspective) so walking was not a problem, although he could attract the attention of a few children for his hero costume, but little else.

The delivery of the work had taken longer than usual, so it was already dusk and the slight evening breeze felt quite pleasant for Last laser.

*tap*

Last laser suddenly heard a step a little heavier than normal in a nearby house, but he pretended not to care and continued walking calmly.

After a couple of minutes on the way directly to his home, Last laser crossed the street to continue on his way.

And at that moment at a fairly exact angle, Last laser was able to directly see the person following him with a terribly cold expression, causing the pursuer to feel great terror and flee instantly.

'A rookie, probably under 30 years old, he's not even worth chasing after, he's just being hired' Last Laser thought, letting out a tired sigh after all that.

The diagnosis was very quick for the Last laser experience, someone who was chasing him and sent a rookie knowing that he would not chase him and just to annoy, in short someone who knew him very well.

'I suppose it was inevitable, although I would have liked a couple more years of anonymity' Last laser thought, letting out another sigh in annoyance as he rubbed his temples and walked home again.

Probably in a couple of months, he would have to deal with his mistakes again, something that was really on his nerves.
