Chapter 19. Viewing Room
As Deku and Uraraka were planning, I was heading back toward the viewing room. On my way back I ran into Momo Yaoyorozu in the hall reading a book while leaning against a wall. Walking past her I hear her say something. “What do you want?” I stop and turn around to look at her. “I’m sorry?” She flips a page and repeats the question. “What do you want?” “I heard your question, I just don’t understand what you mean by it.” She closes her book, stands up straight, and puts the book back on her belt “Everyone here is trying their hardest to become the best hero, yet you. You push one student to become #1 while you would be much lower.”
“I don’t like questions that don’t have answers, and that is all you are. One big enigma. Mysterious quirk, tools, motive, even one of your eyes changed color. ‘Dang I almost forgot about that.’ I grinned at her while starting to snicker. “Well sorry to say, but I won't just be revealing my secrets with just any person in a hallway.” ‘Should I give her something to egg her on? Yes, she is too fun to tease.’ I turned my back to her, and started to walk away toward the viewing room while waving goodbye while saying “I’m just a lost kid doing his best for the people that matter.”
Not waiting for a reaction I make it back to the viewing room to take a look at how far they’ve gone. Only to listen in on Deku screaming. “Only my real friends can call me that name! Friends who believe in me, and help me believe in myself! I’m not scared of you anymore! I will show you that I will become the #1 hero and make everyone proud! I’m the Deku who always does his best!!” ‘Man kid you really… already made me proud.’ I thought with a big grin on my face that I just couldn't seem to scrape off.
I watched Deku fight with Bakugo, and I must say. He has a lot of guts to fight toe to toe with essentially no quirk. I watched the fight continue on till the run and hide phase. ‘Should probably talk to my teammate before this starts to at least formulate a plan, and I can understand her quirk better. I look around to find Kyoka Jiro looking at the screen with Uraraka laughing at Ida’s villain interpretation. I even let out a chuckle as well.
Hearing that Jiro looks over to me and introduces herself. “Hello I am Kyoka Jiro. Nice to meet you.” “I’m Denki Kaminari…” I look slightly behind her to see Momo a few feet away so I continue… “Ask me anything, I'm an open book.” Momo immediately starts coughing on nothing of the ludicrousness of that statement. Jiro looks behind her to see the ruckus, but loses interest. “So Kaminari, what are all of your gadgets for?” “Anything I may need.” She waits for me to continue only to realize I was done.
“Open book huh?” “Well some kids drew in me so some of the text is crayoned out.” I say overly apologetic. “You sure they didn’t draw in your brain?” I start laughing. I do like people with quick, sharp tongues… Don’t take that out of context. “But in all seriousness I don’t want to give away my secrets to anyone who might be listening.” I say as my gaze wanders over to Momo. Who promptly turned away with red ears. “So let’s talk quirks, what can yours do?”
