Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: What a dilemma.

--Friday, July 3, 2172

"Nemuri?"

Curious, Kai muttered to himself and turned to look at the screen Momo was pointing at, where Nemuri was indeed visible. The stunning pro hero stood in a city filled with towering, almost labyrinthine buildings, positioned in front of one of the escape doors, surrounded by a pink cloud. Not far away were Kaminari and Mina, their expressions tense.

"Midnight-sensei is too much. Entering that cloud is game over…"

Hidden in one of the buildings that offered a direct view of the exit alongside Mina, Kaminari commented with a strained look. Mina, who was also crouched beneath a window, watching, spoke in an unusually serious tone.

"Fighting isn't an option. If Saito and Momo are that strong, Midnight can't be any less. We need to figure out a way to get her away from the exit. That's our only chance to escape the hell Saito will put us through if we fail."

Kaminari shuddered at the mention of the Spartan trainer who was surely watching them, and he quickly began scanning the surroundings as if his life depended on it. After a few moments, Kaminari spoke while eyeing the dangling energy cables not far from the building.

"I've got an idea. Using those energy cables, I can electrify the area with my electricity and force her to move. That way, only I would be able to get through."

"I like that plan. With my acid, I can seal our airways for a few minutes to avoid breathing in her scent. I'll handle carrying the cables and distract her as long as I can. You just focus on running full speed to the exit."

Mina said as she adjusted the small jacket of her hero costume. Kaminari nodded with a serious expression, fully determined to avoid the hell looming over them known as Saito Kai.

"Got it. Let's do it that way."

With the plan settled, the young pair quickly left the building. In a secluded spot, Mina shot her acid to cut the hanging cables while Kaminari coiled them up. Meanwhile, Nemuri, who was observing everything the young heroes were doing through the special glasses her beloved Kai had made just for her, smiled approvingly.

"Fufu, it seems the beatings Kai gave them forced them to start using their heads… I'll have to give my love a super reward for such great work."

Watching the actions of the youngsters, Nemuri murmured to herself, then licked her lips with desire. Due to everything that had happened with the infiltration at the USJ, she had been incredibly busy and could only spend time with her Kai at night, which was truly painful for her. But now that things were starting to normalize, she would finally have the time to pamper her beloved husband.

As she lost herself in fantasies about what she would do with her darling with all the free time she'd have, Nemuri heard an alert from her glasses, snapping her back to reality. Focusing on the screens in her glasses, she could see Mina and Kaminari behind a nearby building, discussing the final details of their plan before launching their attack.

Soon, Nemuri saw Mina skating across the ground at high speed, using her acid to slide, carrying a large coil of thick cable over her right shoulder. On her face, the pink-skinned girl had a sort of nearly solid acid bubble covering her airways like a mask.

"It's clever, but by blocking your airways, your combat ability drops significantly." Nemuri commented calmly, pulling a long whip from her waist and sending it toward Mina at high speed.

Showcasing her agility and reflexes, Mina leaped to the side acrobatically, narrowly dodging the whip. But to her surprise, when the whip struck the ground, it created a massive crater and made the earth tremble, nearly causing her to lose her balance.

Stunned, Mina turned to look at Nemuri's wrists, where she could indeed see the compressed weights Kai had made. With a somewhat bitter smile, Mina quickly regained her composure and began skating with everything she had to get close enough to the sexy teacher, screaming in her mind with all her strength.

(I knew it! There's no one normal in that family!!)

With a smile, Nemuri launched another whip strike at Mina, who dodged it swiftly, only widening Nemuri's grin. She began attacking faster and faster. But thanks to the brutal training Mina had endured facing someone immensely stronger and quicker, the girl managed to evade each attack by a hair, soon getting close enough.

(Now!)

With a determined expression, Mina grabbed the coil of cable from her shoulder and hurled it forward with all her might, causing it to unravel as it approached Midnight. Seeing the cable, especially the exposed copper ends, Nemuri smiled and swiftly moved her right hand at incredible speed.

As if it were an extension of her being, Nemuri managed to wrap the whip around the cable. With a twist of her hand, she sent the cable flying backward. As Mina watched the cable soar through the air with a look of shock, Nemuri laughed softly and commented in a gentle voice.

"It was a good idea, but it won't work on me, fufu."

Hearing Nemuri's voice and already starting to feel suffocated, Mina gritted her teeth and began skating around Nemuri as fast as she could, waving her hands toward her. From Mina's hands, large amounts of highly corrosive acid sprayed toward Nemuri, who simply licked her lips.

Without moving from her spot, Nemuri began moving her right hand so quickly that it left afterimages in the air, causing the whip to lash out in all directions at an absurd speed. As small consecutive shockwaves spread through the air and large craters formed on the ground, Mina could see the whip, which had turned into a sort of protective dome, blocking all of her acid.

Feeling a bit dizzy now, Mina brought her hands together and, using every ounce of her strength, fired a concentrated stream of super-corrosive acid at Nemuri. The compressed stream reached Nemuri's protective dome and cut it in half, forcing Nemuri to leap to the side to dodge the attack as nearly completely corroded pieces of her whip fell to the ground.

"Your acid is truly incredible… But I like how you think and act even more… You'll be a great hero, Ashido Mina…"

As she landed on the ground a few meters away, Nemuri commented with a visibly satisfied smile. At that moment, Mina began to sway, dizzy from lack of air, while a yellow bolt moved at high speed toward the exit.

At that instant, Nemuri, without a single scratch on her body, attempted to leap toward Kaminari, only to realize she had landed on a massive patch of extra-sticky acid on the ground. Seeing her boots firmly glued to the surface, Nemuri turned to look at Mina and commented with a smile.

"You really will be a great hero, fufu."

[Mina Ashido & Denki Kaminari, passed!]

As the announcement echoed throughout the area, Mina completely relaxed, which ended up costing her consciousness. She began falling backward with a satisfied smile. But before she hit the ground, Nemuri appeared at her side and carefully cradled her, then removed the hardened acid mask to let her breathe.

Able to feel the air again, Mina took a deep, almost instinctive inhalation, which caused her to open her eyes. She found herself still standing, her head resting on something incredibly soft and bouncy. At that moment, a naturally melodic and seductive voice resonated from above.

"Congratulations, you passed."

"Midnight!"

Hearing the voice, Mina quickly jumped back while exclaiming. She looked around, immediately noticing that the sticky acid puddle had vanished into a massive crater. Having rationalized what had happened, Mina bowed deeply to Nemuri and spoke in a serious, grateful voice.

"Thank you for letting me win, Midnight-sensei."

"I didn't let you win. Your sticky puddle trick held me just long enough for Kaminari to escape. You did an excellent job, Ashido. You can be proud. I expect great things from you in the future."

Nemuri replied with a warm smile while crossing her arms under her massive chest. Mina looked up with an expression full of surprise. At that moment, Nemuri turned around and began walking away, commenting casually with her back to Mina.

"You've improved a lot since the start of the year. I'm sure your 'trainer' will give you a great reward for your effort."

"Thank you, Midnight-sensei!!"

Mina replied with a voice full of happiness and excitement, which caused a lustful smile to form on Nemuri's face. She licked her lips provocatively, restraining herself from running straight to her beloved to 'pamper' him.

(A cute, talented young girl with an amazing body, large breasts, unusual pink skin that would be a nice variety in the family, and, most importantly, so purely in love with my Kai… What to do… what to do… The temptation is too strong, but Kai would surely refuse… Hmm… Should I bring it up or not…? What a dilemma…)

Lost in her complex dilemma, Nemuri walked away with calm steps while Mina ran off to join her friends, an incredibly happy smile on her face.

"She did it, Kai! Ashido-san was amazing!"

Meanwhile, in the observation room, Momo shook Kai while commenting with a huge smile. Midoriya, Uraraka, as well as Iida, Tsuyu, and the others who had arrived after finishing their exams, couldn't help but nod in agreement. For his part, Kai commented calmly while taking notes on his phone.

"She did fine, though Kaminari was disappointing. He'll keep Sero company."

"You heard Onee-chan, Ashido-san was amazing! You have to reward her for her effort!" Momo quickly replied while shaking Kai's arm. He simply shrugged and commented casually.

"Her reward is her strength. There's no better reward than that."

"Don't be like that, Kai! If you give out punishments, you have to give rewards!" Momo replied with a small pout, which caused Kai to sigh and comment somewhat defeated.

"Alright, alright. I'll forgive her debt for the specialized gear I made for her. Happy now?"

"No! Don't be stingy! It has to be something more special!!"

Momo replied like a spoiled child and attacked with her most powerful weapon—a pout with puppy eyes. Kai's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch as he was hit by such a brutal and merciless attack, but inevitably, overcoming it was impossible, and he could only accept defeat with humility.

"Fine, I'll think of something later. If I can't come up with anything, you decide the rewards."

"You're the best, I love you!" Momo said joyfully and jumped to give Kai a quick kiss on the lips, causing everyone present to blush and look away.

While Kai and Momo flirted without a care in the world, Uraraka said goodbye to Midoriya and the others, then headed to her exam with a serious expression. At the same time, one of the screens showed Mezo Shoji—the tentacle boy—and Toru Hagakure—the invisible girl—running back and forth, escaping with all they had from a city crumbling apart with massive explosions.

After a while, the screen displayed Uraraka, holding on for dear life to a railing alongside Yuga Aoyama to avoid being sucked into Thirteen's black hole. But curiously, Uraraka let go of the railing after a question from Aoyama, heading straight toward Thirteen.

Recalling her intense training, Uraraka reacted in time to catch Thirteen off guard and subdue her with a hold, then cuff her. Due to Uraraka's swift and fluid movements, Thirteen was handcuffed on the ground before Aoyama could do anything, and the announcement of their passing echoed through the area.

A completely different scenario unfolded with Mezo Shoji and Toru Hagakure, who could do nothing but flee through the collapsing city, a result of Nezu's meticulous calculations. Nezu laughed maniacally with a cup of tea in his paws. Ultimately, the pair of youngsters couldn't escape in time, and the announcement of their failure resounded throughout the area.

"It's my turn."

In the observation room, Midoriya commented in a serious tone while clenching his fists. At that moment, Momo turned to look at Kai and spoke in a more serious tone.

"We need to start getting ready too. We'll continue afterward."

"Alright, but let's wait a bit longer. I want to see if my efforts have paid off." Kai nodded and commented while looking at Midoriya, who looked back at him and announced in a serious tone.

"They have! I'm going to show you how much I've improved, Saito-kun!"

"We'll see about that." Kai commented casually as he turned to look at the screens with his phone in hand. At that moment, Midoriya walked out of the room with a determined expression.
