Chapter 302: Where does this leave me…?

--Friday, July 24, 2172

“This is truly impressive… Your power hasn’t just stayed the same; it’s actually increasing little by little… If there are no drastic changes, in about 2 to 3, maybe 5 years at most, you should be back to energy levels comparable to your prime…”

In a room filled with the most advanced medical equipment in the world, a middle-aged man with fair skin, light-brown hair, and blue eyes behind black-framed glasses couldn’t help but comment in awe as he examined charts on a holographic screen. All Might, in his true form—shorter and thinner than his heroic build but still fit—smiled calmly and asked as he got up from the medical pod he’d been in.

“Did you find anything wrong or unusual with me?”

“No, everything is perfectly normal. Your health is flawless, and your body is slowly returning to what it used to be with no noticeable differences…” The brown-haired man replied while reviewing the data on the holographic screens, prompting All Might to nod with satisfaction.

“Kai-shonen really has an impeccable work ethic…”

“Saito Kai…” The man said in a thoughtful tone, carefully examining every bit of data in front of him before looking at All Might and continuing with a serious voice.

“I still can’t quite understand how he managed to heal you… Ever since you started weakening, I came up with several methods to try reversing or at least containing it, but nothing I thought of could produce such a miraculous result. I’d really like to meet him someday. I feel like I could learn a lot from him.”

“Hahaha, you’re in luck, old friend. Kai-shonen came to the I-Expo. I’ll be meeting him at the reception party tonight.” All Might commented with a confident laugh as he reverted to his heroic form. The man’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly asked with obvious enthusiasm.

“Then I’ll be ready. I really want to meet a genius of his caliber, and if possible, invite him to I-Island. He’d be an incredibly valuable asset to us.”

“Kai-shonen is a good boy, but I don’t think he’d be very interested in working on I-Island.” All Might said with a somewhat ironic smile on his face. The man stood up and replied with a calm smile.

“We won’t know until we try. If it doesn’t work out, no problem. On I-Island, young super-geniuses are pretty common, so I know a thing or two about dealing with them. Besides, communications are excellent these days, and the Yaoyorozu group is quite influential here. There are plenty of ways to cooperate.”

“Then I wish you luck. Kai-shonen can be a bit complicated at times.” All Might commented casually. The man nodded and replied nonchalantly.

“That’s natural. Young geniuses are so far above the rest of the world that they inevitably become arrogant, disconnected, or develop odd tendencies. But their talent is worth the effort.”

…

…

…

“Do you know me?” Seeing the surprised Melissa, Kai couldn’t help but ask, raising an eyebrow. Melissa nodded with a smile and approached Kai, then spoke with visible excitement.

“Yes, I’ve worked a lot with your chips. They’re excellent. Even my father has praised them and used them in many of his projects.”

“I see. Now that I remember, a large batch of chips was sent to I-Island in exchange for help with the lithography machines in our factories.” Kai commented with a smile. Melissa nodded happily and looked around before asking with a grin.

“What do you think of this equipment? They were all created by my father.”

“Pretty interesting, especially that one over there.” Kai replied, pointing at the robot he’d been looking at, which put a huge smile on Melissa’s face. She soon asked cheerfully.

“Hehe, the guys really love that one. By the way, Kai-san, if there’s a chance, I’d like to chat with you more and exchange ideas. I really admire you and would love to learn a bit from you.”

Melissa’s words made Mina stand up straight, completely alert, and quickly turn to look at Momo. But to her surprise, Momo didn’t seem worried in the slightest. With a calm smile, she spoke while looking at Melissa.

“Kai has been working a lot lately, and it’s better if he rests for today. How about we meet tomorrow afternoon? We’re staying at the Onyx Hotel, so you can come visit us.”

“Oh, I’d be delighted. How about I give you a little tour of the place before the reception party tonight?” Melissa replied with a calm and elegant smile. Momo nodded gracefully and responded.

“That would be lovely.”

Meanwhile, in the back, Keiko, Nemuri, Yumiko, and the Pussycats couldn’t help but exchange looks with big, satisfied smiles at Momo’s composure. At that moment, Shino sent a telepathic message to everyone present.

[Why don’t we let them go on their own for a while? I saw a pretty good cafe nearby.]

[Sounds good, let Kai know.]

Nemuri soon replied while discreetly glancing at the beautiful blonde with glasses. Shino nodded cheerfully and quickly responded while doing something similar to Nemuri, all under the watchful eyes of Keiko and Yumiko.

[Done.]

…

“I really felt the wife energy…” As everyone walked through different pavilions, Jiro couldn’t help but lag behind a bit and whisper to Toru and Mina, who nodded in complete agreement.

“Yeah… It’s impressive… I wonder if I’ll ever be like that…” Toru commented with visible admiration. Mina added with a huge grin.

“Yao Momo put that bold Western girl in her place, hehe. Did you see that bitterness on her face? Saito’s already taken, girl; go find someone else.”

Hearing Mina, Jiro and Toru couldn’t help but look at her with confusion, which made Mina tilt her head and ask, puzzled.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing… Let’s move; we’re falling behind.” Jiro shook her head and commented before moving forward to catch up with the group that had gotten quite ahead.

…

“Die!!!”

As they walked through the venue with Melissa chatting happily with the girls, a familiar shout echoed from a screen, catching everyone’s attention. On the screen, the group could see Bakugo in his hero costume flying around, destroying robots with powerful explosions, and soon a female voice announced with enthusiasm.

“Impressive!! He did it in 15 seconds!! A day full of geniuses, we have our third place!”

“Third place?!!” On the screen, Bakugo was soon seen shouting and about to fight, only to be escorted out by security, at which point Kirishima entered to try his luck.

“Bakugo’s here too?!” Seeing the footage, Mina couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Curious, Melissa couldn’t help but look at her and ask with a smile.

“You know him?”

“He’s our classmate. He’s a bit ‘explosive,’ but he’s pretty strong.” Jiro replied in a calm voice. Melissa nodded and commented.

“He’s really impressive. Achieving it in just 15 seconds isn’t something you see every day.”

“Yeah, he is. Right now in our class, he’s probably in 5th place.” Toru commented in a calm voice. Melissa couldn’t help but remark in surprise.

“Someone that strong is only 5th?!”

“Well, yeah, there’s Saito, Yao Momo, Todoroki, and Deku. They’re all pretty monstrous, to be honest. Though right now, I don’t think I’d lose in a fight against Bakugo. I’ve gotten pretty strong.” Mina said with a smile while discreetly watching Nejire ask Momo for something with puppy eyes, who soon nodded, sighing in defeat.

“UA is pretty impressive.” Melissa commented, looking at Mina with admiration, which made the girl puff out her ample chest with pride, though her gaze remained fixed on Kai.

“Mn? Kai-san and Nejire-san are going somewhere else?” At that moment, Melissa, noticing Nejire dragging Kai away with a huge smile, couldn’t help but ask curiously. Momo approached calmly and replied with a smile.

“Yeah, Nejire wants to show Kai some equipment to add to her suit. They’ll be back in a bit.”

“I see. Will you try your luck at the test too, Momo-san?” Melissa asked, a bit curious. Momo shook her head and commented calmly.

“I already did. My name should be on the ranking.”

Curious, Melissa quickly checked and soon found Momo’s name firmly in second place with a time of 10 seconds, while Nejire’s name was in first with 9 seconds. Looking at the beautiful and elegant dark-haired young woman, Melissa couldn’t help but comment, full of admiration.

“Truly impressive. Worthy of being aspiring heroes and close to Kai-san… Not even a pro would have numbers like that.”

“Fufu, Kai is even more impressive. He just isn’t interested in participating in tests like these.” Momo replied with a calm and confident smile, which made Melissa look at her with a subtle smile. At that moment, Jiro stepped forward and commented cheerfully.

“Since Yao Momo already tried, why don’t we give it a shot and see how we do?”

“Let’s kick some robot butt!” Mina quickly chimed in and ran off with Toru and Jiro. Melissa smiled amusedly at the girls and then turned to look at Midoriya and asked.

“Will you try too, Deku-kun? It seems you’re one of the ‘monsters’ of your class.”

“I-it’s not quite like that… But I’ll give it a try…” Midoriya replied, visibly shy, at which point Uraraka commented with a flat smile.

“I’ll try my luck too…”

“Oh! Looks like Todoroki-san and Kaminari-san ran into Iida-san and came to try their hand. This is going to be interesting.” Momo, seeing Iida, Todoroki, and Kaminari walking together toward the test area, couldn’t help but comment curiously. Melissa turned to look at Momo and asked.

“More classmates?”

“That’s right. This will be a good opportunity for everyone to test the results of Kai’s training.” Momo nodded in good spirits, which inevitably led Melissa to ask curiously as she walked with Momo.

“Kai-san trained them?”

“Yes, everyone except Iida-san and Bakugo-san from earlier.” Momo nodded cheerfully, which made Melissa focus her gaze on the young heroes with keen interest.

…

“How…?”

In front of a massive screen, Bakugo stared as his classmates unleashed power and speed so impressive that he couldn’t help but murmur in disbelief. Before his eyes, his previous record of 15 seconds didn’t seem like anything anymore and was starting to fall in the rankings.

Todoroki crushed it in 12 seconds, Kaminari beat him by a second, Ashido tied with him, and everyone else took less than 20 seconds, with Kirishima being the slowest at 20 seconds. But the most infuriating thing of all was that damn green-haired nerd managed to tie with Todoroki at 12 seconds.

“Where does this leave me…? Now I’m 5th… 6th… No, that arrogant bastard isn’t here… So I’m 7th… How is this possible…?”

“Kacchan?”

As Bakugo felt like the world itself was collapsing around him, a familiar and incredibly annoying voice rang out, causing him to look over with an expression of absolute despair, nearly on the verge of tears and madness.

…

…

…

“Where are you taking me?”

As he was led by Nejire, Kai couldn’t help but ask, amused. The beautiful blue-haired girl replied with a mischievous smile, her gaze fixed on a certain spot in the distance.

“I want you to see something and help me, Kai-chan. Come on, we’re close.”

Following Nejire, Kai soon found himself in front of the women’s restroom, where Nejire pulled him inside with a playful smile on her beautiful face, quickly locking them in a stall. In the elegant bathroom, Nejire soon removed her hero suit, revealing her completely wet femininity, and commented in a voice dripping with lust.

“Kai-chan… I’m so itchy… I need you to help me scratch…”

“I suppose, as the great doctor I am, I can’t say no to my Nejire.”

Kai approached Nejire, wrapping his arms around her waist as he whispered in a seductive tone. Nejire clung to Kai’s neck and gave him a deep kiss, then became one with her beloved, whispering full of desire.

“I wanted this so bad… Kai-chan… I love you so much…”

…

After a while, Nejire adjusted her hero suit with a bright and visibly satisfied smile on her face, then hugged her beloved tightly and peppered his face with kisses. Kai squeezed Nejire’s juicy rear and was about to speak in a warm voice, but before he could, his gaze sharpened, and he turned to look to the right.

“Is something wrong, Kai-chan?”

“Yes, a rat I’ve put a bell on just showed up here.” Kai commented with a dangerous smile, which made Nejire narrow her eyes and ask.

“Did villains sneak into I-Island?”

“It remains to be seen if they really snuck in or not, but it’s unlikely they came just to look at tech…” Kai said with a playful smile. Nejire bit her lower lip to suppress the heat that was enveloping her body again due to how sexy her beloved looked and commented in a serious tone.

“Can I help, Kai-chan?”
