Two Hours Later
After two hours of trekking through hell, it was so worth it! From the eyes of the pro-heroes watching, it was downright shocking. Never in their lives did they imagine some ordinary high school kid would break their record and finish ahead of time. Sure, everyone else helped too… but hey, this is my story, not theirs.
Now both Class 1-A and Class 1-B had finally arrived at the rendezvous point—completely exhausted.
Ryojin: "The rooms?"
He opened his palm, waiting for confirmation. With a confused nod, they handed him the keys to a private room. He chuckled to himself before passing the key straight to Momo.
Pixie-Bob: "Uh… why are you only in your pants though?"
…And yeah, that was true. By this point I was basically half-naked.
Flashback, ten minutes earlier—
Ryojin: "Damn it… I'm out of grenades!"
Right then, a massive dirt beast lunged straight at him. He would've been toast—if not for Bakugo blasting it apart with one of his explosions. Todoroki followed up with a scorching fire attack, and Mina hurled acid all over it.
But the reality? Bakugo's blast alone had already shredded the thing to pieces.
Which meant… Todoroki's flames and Mina's acid both slammed into me full-force right after.
Yeah. Dead-on hit.
.
.
.
.
And that was the reason why he was in this state.
Momo had completely exhausted herself from creating so many items, and Monoma was the same. I'd used both of them to keep refilling my grenade rounds, so of course they collapsed. Otherwise, I'd at least have begged for a shirt.
Oh well. Cooler this way anyway.
That said… the girls from both Class A and B—the ones without boyfriends, and especially those who had a crush on Ryojin—were desperately trying not to glance at his crotch. But the thing was… it was huge. On top of that, his underwear had a star pattern.
Cue bright red faces all around.
Ryojin: "Momo-chan! Mina-chan! Look! We get to stay in the same room together!!"
Mina: "Yay! That's awesome!!"
Momo: "I swear… you two will never grow up."
Momo hid her face with her hands as I spun Mina around. The others just smiled at the wholesome scene, until Pixie-Bob strolled closer.
Pixie-Bob: "Mmm… that was more than I expected. Still, good job for your first day! I wanted to tame that half-pint brat, but too bad he was taken away. As for you lot—"
Pixie-Bob pointed at different students—Izuku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Kaibara, and a few other good-looking boys—grinning mischievously as she approached and gave them some… "hands-on" attention.
Then her eyes locked back onto me, practically drooling.
Pixie-Bob: "I can't wait to see what you'll be like in three years! I'm calling dibs right now!"
Aizawa: "Mandalay… is she always like this?"
Mandalay: "She's a little desperate, you know… it's her age."
Ryojin (thinking): 'Hmmm… maybe I should try the older woman route?'
Before I could even test that thought, Momo smacked my head and Mina pinched my cheeks.
Momo & Mina: "We know exactly what you're thinking."
…Yeah, that scared the hell out of me.
Aizawa groaned as Mandalay tried her best to restrain Pixie-Bob from further sexually harassing the students.
Not long after, Eri came running up—this time with another kid beside her, wearing a horned cap just like Eri's.
Eri: "Papa! Mama!!! I'm here!!"
I opened my arms to hug her, but… she ran right past me and jumped into the arms of the two girls instead. My heart shattered on the spot.
Ryojin (thinking): 'So this is what cruelty feels like…'
Momo carried Eri over to me anyway, while she giggled at her poor papa's expression. My heart almost melted right there.
Meanwhile, the other kid—Kota—was approached by Izuku, who tried to befriend him.
But Kota's "Fist of Friendship" slammed right into Deku's crotch.
Ryojin: "Nice hit, kid."
Bakugo: "I like this brat already."
Ochako and Iida rushed to help Deku up.
Kota: "I don't want anything to do with people who want to be heroes. People like you will just die pointlessly!"
He turned and walked off.
Ryojin: "Sharp tongue… I like it."
Bakugo: "Damn right. I like this kid too."
Todoroki: "He's exactly like the two of you."
We both turned to glare at Todoroki. …Okay, that definitely counted as an insult.
Bakugo: "The hell did you just say?!"
Ryojin: "He's not wrong though, Dynamite-boy."
Bakugo: "Say that again, you half-naked freak?!"
Ryojin: "What, this? Want me to show you the full package?"
I tugged on my waistband to prove my point, but—
RIPPP!
…The whole thing tore off.
I froze. No—everyone froze.
Thank god Momo immediately covered Eri's eyes. One of the pro heroines stood dumbfounded, while the other was visibly drooling. Every other girl turned bright red like tomatoes.
Aizawa: "YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!"
In a flash, he tied me up with his capture scarf.
And so, my cursed life continued. I bawled anime tears while Bakugo cackled like a madman.
.
.
.
About thirty minutes after that disaster, both Class A and Class B finally settled into their assigned rooms.
As for me? I got a private room. Thank god. No need to share with anyone else. Finally… some peace.
Once everyone finished unpacking, it was time to eat.
Everyone was happily stuffing their faces with food. Meanwhile, I just sat there depressed… because the truth was, both classes—yes, two whole classes—had already seen everything I had. It felt like I'd already lost my "first time" to an entire school.
When evening rolled around, it was time to relax in the hot springs.
The boys and girls were separated, of course.
I ended up chatting with Gōda—the shy, animal-loving boy of our class.
Ryojin: "So, how's that cat doing? The one I gave you—it must be pretty attached to you by now, right?"
Gōda:laughs "It's actually more attached to my mom than me, Kazuma-san."
Truth be told, I'd spoken with Kōji a number of times before. Every time I went to the zoo, I'd run into him and we'd chat. Lately, since I'd been taking Eri with me, the three of us talked more often. That's why he'd gotten used to calling me by my real name.
These days, he was starting to open up to the others too. Even Satō and Tokoyami were talking with him more.
Ryojin: "Hey Satō, bring me some of your chocolate next time, man. I think I'm getting addicted to your sweets."
Ryojin: "I'll pay you for them, bro."
Satō: "Don't worry about it, I'll make some for free. I know Eri-chan loves my sweets, so I'll go all out!"
He gave me a thumbs-up, and I couldn't help but grin.
The mood between both classes was cheerful and lively, everyone chatting and laughing together.
As for me?
I smiled wide… because I had the perfect plan.
I'd take another dip in the hot springs later, but this time—with Momo-chan and Mina.
But first, I had to make sure Eri was fast asleep. Otherwise… I was doomed.
Just the thought of it made my heart race with excitement.
.
.
Late at night, after everyone seemed to have gone to bed, Eri was sound asleep with the most peaceful expression. Mina had already slipped out ahead of me, while Momo stayed behind a bit longer—she said she'd forgotten to organize some of her things.
So, I followed after Mina.
Right now… I could feel it. The mood was perfect. My "little brother" was standing tall, ready for tonight.
I snuck over to the girls' side of the hot springs. The steam was thick, covering everything in a hazy veil.
Perfect for a secret rendezvous.
I stepped into the water quietly, searching for Mina. It was like she was playing hide and seek with me in the mist.
Then, I finally spotted a silhouette.
I crept up behind her, slow and careful.
And then—I used the skill I'd mastered above all else.
I thrust right in. The sensation—it felt way too good.
Ryojin: "Do you like i—"
Wait.
Something's wrong.
She's smaller than I remember. And… her chest definitely wasn't this flat.
???: "WHAT the hell are you doing, Kazuma?!!"
That voice. I knew it instantly.
Ryojin: "J-JIRO?!!!"
Holy sh*t. I stabbed the wrong target.
Not long after, Mina arrived—with Momo right beside her.
And the sight they walked in on… was enough to end my life on the spot.
Yep. I wasn't getting out of this alive.
