Chapter 97

Title: Killer Queen…

…

Ever since Eri had come to live in the U.A dorms with the other students, she felt like Class 1-A was truly amazing. Everyone always liked and spoiled her, especially the girls. But she also saw just how hard it was to be a Hero, even one who was just studying to be one. Everyone was busy every day, she could see that they were all working hard.

Though there are always at least one or two people in the dorms and they keep her company while they are cooking, relaxing, or doing homework.

She was always curious why everyone worked so hard, and since today Mirio visited her, she was just watching teach Eijiro some hero poses when she finally got the courage to ask. “Why does everyone work so hard?”

Both Mirio and  Eijiro stop. The former stands up and smiles, his blue eyes shined in a heroic light. “Because I want to save 10,000,000 people!”

Eijiro smirked with pride. “I think that you are talking about Class 1-A right?”

Eri nods egregiously. “Yes.”

Causing Mirio to look down with a depressing aura around him, but he immediately becomes energized the next second.

“Well,” Eijiro was a little embarrassed to say it out loud, but in the end, he decided to explain, “It’s all because one guy in our class will never stop trying so hard. He is also so stupidly strong, but he still tries so hard… Well, we have to work so hard so at least the distance between us doesn’t widen to the point where there will be no need for us anymore.”

Though Kirishima didn’t say the real reason why he was trying so hard. ‘A friend isn’t someone who looks at his friend’s back, we are someone equal. So to be worthy of your friendship, Kaminari, I will catch up to you!’

“Huh!!” Mirio was shocked by Eijiro’s words, the red-haired student seemed to fully trust Kaminari being able to completely make the heroes a needless existence. ‘I do admit that Kaminari is someone strong, but outlining all of the other heroes isn’t something possible.’

“I understand,” said Eri, nodding in with a knowing look, “Kaminari -san is amazing! One time I saw him fly and go like, fwom, boom, and whabam.”

Eri did some silly poses as a demonstration which made the two guys smile and she smiled back too.

“Heh, it seems like there is some news about me.” Suddenly Kaminari was there sitting down on the couch and the TV was already on. Surprising some of the visitors to the dorms.

“Huh?!” Mirio looked at him surprised, he seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Fwish!

Suddenly he disappeared again and came back in a split second. “Sorry, some dog was about to get run over by a car.”

This was his usual daily routine as he would come here and then the next second would blitz somewhere else. It almost seemed like he was doing multiple things at once.

This fascinated Mirio and Eri, while Kirishima was already used to it, so this didn’t make him even surprised. This was the reason why everyone tried so hard, Kaminari was always working hard that it made everyone else seem inefficient.

Mirio was enamored how he did things, and as the news played on TV, Kaminari just seemed to blitz through and come in with a suit and different change to clothes. “Guys, I have an interview in 5 minutes, do I look good?”

“Uhhh…” Mirio didn’t know what to say since he was a little overwhelmed.

Kirishima gave his friend a thumbs up. “You are good to go. Almost as good looking as me.”

“Okay, meaning I look way better than you” Kaminari gave back a thumbs up too, “Look at this station as I am about to rock the world.”

Fwish!

Once more he disappeared in an instant.

“Well…” Mirio drawls on, not knowing what to say next after seeing this scene, “He seems to be quite energetic.”

…

The next time they see him is five minutes later as a female reporter appears on TV, she is quite good-looking with western features with blonde hair and glasses. It made her look quite cute, she also seemed strict and nice at the same time.

She was a foreign journalist, that was clear. And the smile she gave made everyone feel a special feeling born within their hearts. She had that mature but at the same time young charm to her, that confused everyone.

“Lightning Hero, Flash, it is quite nice to have you here.” She greeted the star guest for the day, and all the males watching this were jealous of Kaminari as he got to talk to such a woman.

….

-Kaminari POV-

I smiled at the bitch in front of me, she had done some reporting about some commercials that I did and that as a Hero, I was using my image to make money. I did of course, but her report was mostly to get clicks on her channels.

Pretty petty of her to attack me there, I would make her disappear out of the face of the planet, but that wouldn’t be too favorable. Killing her would be useless, plus from what I know, her Quirk allows her to make others feel angry due to the hormones that she released from her skin.

I had to be careful because China, America, and some other countries like that had some very powerful defense systems, and entering such deep databases on their people’s Quirk registrations with just my electrification Quirk might get me discovered and put on a hit list.

I could fight against villains, but governments are different, they could just put poison in my drink that I wouldn’t even know about until I suddenly had a heart attack. Of course, there are many other ways that would happen, maybe some Quirk like Aizawa stops my Quirk and suddenly my head is popped like a balloon. Governments are a different kind of danger from villains, and with all my power it will only make the whole world fight against me if I go into conflict with them. It would be a death wish no matter the power I had.

I was also nowhere near good enough to be able to use Overhaul to heal damage to my heart and not kill myself. So poison of certain types is still able to kill me. I knew my weaknesses better than anyone else.

The woman looked at me with a continuing gentle smile on her face as the cameras started rolling. “Hello there, nice to see you, Kaminari Denki. Never thought I would meet the hot new celebrity Hero.”

This bitch, she just said my real name on TV, she is just asking for me to get jumped in real life and villains knowing my name.

That was when I also felt my heart beat faster and my adrenaline jump up, my brain was feeling reckless and I wanted to yell at this bitch for calling out my name. Knowing how dangerous this could be.

“I am good miss Jackson,” answering her with a smile on my face wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, but I pulled through, “How about you, coming all the way here from America must have been a tiring journey.”

“Hahaha, thank you for worrying about me Flash,” she moved her hair behind her ear and looked at me suggestively, in just this one move she had shown her professionalism as she had moved her face in a position just outside of the camera shot and gave me a wink. “But as a journalist, I am quite used to something like this. I can only hope that my Japanese is good enough.”

This was all the journalist playing her manipulation along and the slight twist of her lips, showing me that she was doing all of this intentionally. Now she was intentionally trying to piss me off.

My heart was angry and wanted to lash out at her, but my mind was still calm. She might think that she was the one holding all of the cards currently, but she had no idea who was the one holding the power here… I will show that to her later.

“Of course, I don’t doubt your professionalism, miss Jackson,” I said while smiling at her, there was a reason why I wanted this interview to be live. Because if it wasn’t then I would pretty much have lost already due to the ability of the team to edit the video. That would make me look bad and stupid even if I was Einstein.

“Oh~” she gave a coy look, “Are you trying to… hit on me Flash?”

“No,” I shook my head, “Sorry mam, I am into girls around my age.”

I know what she is after, and once someone knows that, then they can also play the situation in their favor. But she doesn’t understand that it isn’t what she wants that matters, but what the studio wants. They want views and clicks, so they will use any clip with conflict on it, and even if she looks like a fool they will still put it up because miss Jackson was easily replicable, but she probably wouldn’t know that.

I could see the uncomfortable shake of the hand that she did. Instinctively she kept out of the camera view, but I could see through her like an open book.

….

-General POV-

“Oh, I see,” said Miss Jackson, clearly irritated as Kaminari insinuated that she wasn’t young enough to be of any interest to him… he just called her a hag in a polite way.

‘This f.u.c.k.i.n.g kid, just wait and see you brat, you will croak under the pressure, I know just how hard you want to hurt me. No one can resist my charms,’ she was quite angry at this.
