Chapter 61: Peccant
What had happened before didn't change his life.
Instead, his life was pretty normal.
A week passed after his relationship with Kendo was confirmed, and he became a student of Yuuei, yet he felt everything was normal, which made him sigh in relief.
While he didn't say it, he was quite worried that the school would be attacked by villains. However, such a case was quite rare, and it didn't happen that easily. Even if it happened, the hero quickly solved them.
However, Yuuei was one of the places with the highest security, so being attacked by a villain was something impossible (probably).
Still, what he worried about the most wasn't the security of the school. Instead, it was the existence of All-Might in this school.
Many people might worship All-Might, but he felt this grinning guy was only a mascot. His teaching wasn't good, and he was also biased.
While he knew it was rude, he knew that All-Might's head wasn't that good since inside his head were all muscles.
However, All-Might's existence also greatly relieved him since even the strongest hero was here, so there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?
If there was something that worried him the most was his relationship with Ibara and Kendo.
Yet frankly, unexpectedly, their relationship was stable, and nothing changed between them.
Ibara didn't know about his relationship with Kendo.
Kendo, while knowing his relationship with Ibara, still wanted to be with him.
Ibara got his time at school and the weekend.
On the other hand, Kendo got his time after school during the weekdays.
Kendo didn't ask much from him and only wanted to be with him, which increased his guilt toward her. Yet, even so, he didn't deny their relationship was nice. When they were together, it was natural and comfortable, but there were these certain emotions that made them even stick to each other and couldn't part away. They also always had sex whenever they could.
Guilt, lust, greed, envy, and even self-destruct.
Those vice-like emotions, lumped together, became fuel for their affairs.
They knew this relationship would hurt someone, but they couldn't stop it.
Kendo didn't want to stop it and wanted to be with him.
He could have stopped it, but he decided to continue this relationship. He knew that there was no turning back, especially after he had said that he loved her and had taken all of her first, but everything was done because he wanted to become stronger and have a peaceful life.
Kendo was his victim, and he felt a certain responsibility after what had happened. Even if he had to act, lie, or hurt someone, he had to take care of her, especially since it had just been a few days after that day.
He was just hoping he would get a flash of the idea of how to solve this problem since he was afraid he might go bald because of the stress.
In the end, he decided to throw this matter aside and just lived normally every day. He knew he was running away from the problem, but everything was okay, and they were all happy as long as no one broke the harmony between them.
Still, if someday everything was known and broke apart, he knew it would be game over. Everything he had built would crumble into pieces, but this was inevitable.
This also made him realize that the price of gaining power wasn't low.
Everything was an equivalent exchange.
When he gained power, he had to pay an equal price.
The price was that he would hurt the people he cared about and even receive karma and punishment.
Honestly, he might have taken that karma or punishment too lightly in the past.
If Kendo was a stranger or slut, he might not have a big problem and even use her all he could, but she was a good girl and his dear friend.
He might not have realized it, but he was lonely, especially when he lost his family and friends in his previous world. He was alone in this world, and he only made a few connections in this world, so he treated them dearly.
Only he didn't realize it since his cowardice masked everything.
He was afraid of living in this world, and somehow he regretted his decision to become a student at Yuuei High School. However, he didn't intend to stop since this school would give him a bright future.
Still, by joining this school, he realized the world was wide, and he had a weakness.
Aizawa Shouta.
'Eraser Head...'
His teacher's ability could momentarily erase the "Quirk" of someone.
If someone like Aizawa-sensei existed, someone with a similar "Quirk" should also exist, right?
However, this might be a rare "Quirk," and only a few people existed, but it didn't mean it didn't exist, right?
While he didn't think it would happen, there was a small possibility he might be attacked by someone whose "Quirk" was similar to Aizawa.
As for Aizawa would attack him, he didn't think of that possibility at all since this guy was his teacher.
Why would Aizawa attack him?
However, it would be great if he could buy an ability that made him immune to Aizawa's ability.
His ability might make him quite powerful, but it needed to be activated.
If he couldn't use his ability, what could he do?
In conclusion, if he couldn't use his ability, he would become dead meat.
What he needed now wasn't something that made him powerful. Instead, it was an immune-like ability given by Kendo before.
However, he didn't intend to get the reward by getting another girl. Instead, he planned to save up his points. He knew he might need a long time to do it, but he didn't want to torture himself anymore with this guilty feeling.
Then, what about holding hands?
If a girl held his hand, he would get a reward.
However, for them to take the initiative to hold hands definitely wasn't easy.
He needed to be close to the girls to a certain extent. If not, he had to trick them like Jiro during the previous Trial Battle. However, he didn't have any intention of getting close to another girl currently.
Even in class, he tried to reduce his interaction with the opposite gender. Instead, he stayed with the boys mostly.
The only problem was that he could feel Midoriya's admiration gaze from time to time, which made him confused. He didn't understand why, but he felt this guy became weirder and weirder as he knew him.
As for Kodai and Yanagi, they had always been with Ibara and Kendo, so he didn't do anything and only talked with them intimately, yet maintained a certain distance.
So in the past week, his life had been quite peaceful.
Oh, right, it had been a week since he dated Kendo. Naturally, he got a reward.
<You have dated your girlfriend for a week, and you received "Skill: "Carpentry (Master)">
"...."
'Maybe buying a mountain is a good thing.'
Buying a mountain and living a slow and peaceful life would be great. His eyes shone, but he shook his head since even if a mountain was cheap, it wasn't something he could casually touch. He also didn't want to buy a mountain located in the middle of nowhere since it would be troublesome to get there. If possible, he wanted to buy one that was close to the city.
Leaving buying a mountain or not aside, after his lunch, he stayed in the library now.
As the best school in this country, Yuuei High School has a lot of book collections.
Nezu was also one of the richest men in the world, so he gave the best thing to the students.
He took various books about "Quirk" since he wanted to understand it better. While the internet gave him a lot of information, and there were also many journals he could download, he needed to pay for them.
The pirated version didn't exist, especially in this world where technology was so advanced.
Most pirated goods were almost extinct.
In the end, he decided to visit the library since it was free and he didn't need to pay.
As for Ibara and Kendo, they were with their classmates.
Being a lover didn't mean they had to be together all the time.
While the feeling of wanting to be together as much as possible naturally existed since this what love meant was.
There was also something known as a limit.
As for how to determine this limit, it depended on each lover, and everyone was different.
Frankly, he might say a lot, but he told them that he had something he wanted to read in the library. However, they didn't really like to read a book, so he didn't force them to come with him, and he also wanted to be alone for a while, considering how hard it was for him to be alone.
He put on his wireless earphones, ignored the gazes of a few girls, who tried to steal a glance in his direction, and started to read quietly.
However, he just realized how hard it was for him to be alone.
As he read, he felt someone shake his shoulder. He turned, and his lips twitched, thinking that even if he had reduced his interaction with the girls, they didn't seem to want to part away from him.
