Reborn As Saitama In MHA - Chapter 49

“R-Really? Someone that used to help you out?” Izuku muttered.

“We ran around a lot back then, well, that doesn’t matter right now.” All Might turned to Hiroto, saying, “There’s something else I didn’t tell you about those tickets and your sponsor.”

Hiroto looked confused, crossed his arms, and said, “Sponsor? I have a sponsor? First time I’m hearing about this. Don’t sponsors usually get paid? Where’s my money then. *tsk* What a cheap sponsor-”

“H-Hold on there! Don’t go jumping the gun just yet!” all Might said, placating Hiroto. “It’s more of a program that they have, compared to an individual sponsorship. They extend these out to either current Pro Heroes or upcoming stars that catch their eyes with the intent to develop support items for them and help research their Quirks.”

Hiroto pondered for a moment, before ultimately deciding on a response. “That sounds boring as hell.”

“Huh?!” Izuku exclaimed. “B-But isn’t this a great opportunity?! You get to have a specialized support item designed just for you by the people at I-Island!”

Hiroto merely shrugged and said, “I don’t need anything though. Besides, do you think that anything could actually support me without it breaking?”

All Might sighed, saying, “At least give it a try first. The people they have employed at the island are all amazing in their own capacity, but once brought together, they can make items that would increase a Heroes performance by the double, maybe even triple.”

Hiroto once again fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, ‘I always did want a hoverboard…’ He then made his decision once again, saying, “Sure. It doesn’t hurt to try anyway. It’s their money they’re wasting, not mine.”

Resisting the urge to rub his eyes, All Might opted to breathe a sigh of relief, saying, “You also have the choice of bringing two more people with you as guests, however, they can only come after the island is open to outside visitors. It will give them more benefits than your standard ticket, an upgrade essentially.

Other than that, there’s not much else I need to tell you about. Oh, I also do hope you can come and meet my friend as well sometime. He would be more than happy to see your abilities.”

“Sure, doesn’t sound like too much work. Should I travel with you 2 then or with Katsuki and Todoroki?” Hiroto asked.

“You’ll go with those two separately from us at the start, but once we reach I-Island, I’ll send you a message so that we can meet up before going to meet my friend. We don’t want too many people knowing that I’m favouring you two over the others, it would draw more attention than necessary.” All Might explained.

Izuku then interjected into the conversation, asking, “Won’t the others find it suspicious when they don’t see me travelling with them to I-Island?”

All Might thought for a moment, saying, “We’ll figure it out… Oh, make sure to bring some formal clothing too. You’ll need it.”

With that, the little meeting came to an end, with Hiroto leaving for home as it started getting darker. Instead of heading home immediately, he messaged his parents that he would be visiting a friend and decided to pay Rumi a visit again.

Making a quick stop to grab some snacks, he walked past his own house with his schoolbag over his left shoulder and a plastic bag in his right hand.

Coming outside of her House, Hiroto fished out the key to the door and promptly unlocked it. Opening the door, he found the House to be silent except for the soft snoring that was coming from the living room.

Entering in, he went towards the living room and looked towards the sofa. With its backrest obscuring Rumi’s view, Hiroto only saw her legs dangling over the opposite armrest.

Walking around it, Rumi’s ears twitched, causing her to open her eyes to see Hiroto standing over her. Wearing a rabbit onesie, she rubbed her eyes, Rumi said, “Am I in a dream? Did you finally decide to ȧssault me in my sleep? How bold~”

Hiroto coughed, putting his bags on the low coffee table. He then walked over to where her legs are, prompting her to move them out of the way as he plopped himself down, to which she put her legs on his ŀȧp as usual.

Hiroto then said, “You know, instead of just staying at home and sleeping, shouldn’t you be going out and fighting crime or whatever?”

Rumi yawned and stretched her arms upwards, “I already went out early in the morning. It’s sooo boring. There have been more people running around preaching about what a true Hero is, but other than that, nothing much. Besides, I’m getting a new job after your summer break ends.”

“A new job? What is it?” Hiroto asked, switching the TV on and using his phone to link to it.

“Hmm, a secret. You’ll find out after your summer break.” Rumi said with a smirk, winking at him.

“Let me guess, you’ll probably show up one day in one of my classes and yell out, surprise!” Hiroto said in a heavily sarcastic tone, but when he turned to Rumi, he saw her averting her eyes while blushing at the same time. ‘No way… that’s her plan?’

“W-Well, enough about that! Anything new lately?” Rumi said, shifting the topic immediately.

Hiroto sighed and explained about his special ticket towards going to I-Island, as well as being able to bring 2 more people with him. He asked her if she wanted to go.

“Sure, I’ll go. However, your ticket is useless, since I also got invited myself. I ain’t the number 1 female Hero for nothing. I’ve got connections I don’t even know I had! Hahaha!” Rumi said, laughing to herself and waving her phone around.

Hiroto didn’t know what to say, merely adopting to ignore her and muttering, “I’ll invite my parents then. They could probably do with a vacation.”

“Sure, sounds like a good enough idea,” Rumi said, getting up and doing another stretch and letting out a soft mȯȧn. “I’m gonna take a bath. Just order some food or something. I don’t mind the place.”

She then left, leaving Hiroto alone in the living room to his own thoughts. ‘Is it alright to bring her to I-Island? I feel like she’ll cause even more mishaps… Oh well, nothing bad should happen. Right?”

~(~.~)~ ~(~.~)~ ~(~.~)~ ~(~.~)~

Since this was the last week that they had until summer break, Hiroto spent the majority of his time relaxing since his exams were already over. It was currently Friday and he was going to take an earlier flight as opposed to leaving on Saturday instead.

Having packed his clothes and essentials (take a guess as to what they are), Hiroto slung the duffle bag over his shoulder while currently dressed in his Hero suit. His request for being allowed to wear one was approved the moment it was sent in.

He was going to be travelling alone first and Rumi would follow tomorrow, saying that she had some loose ends to tie up before she could travel to I-Island.

Heading downstairs, Hiroto went with his parents who were going to drop him off at the airport. They had already agreed to take the tickets and use the chance to relax and treat it as a vacation.

It was still in the afternoon and by the time it takes for him to reach the airport to fly towards I-Island, it would’ve been close to 6 pm.

“Are you sure you want to leave tonight? You could still decide to fly with us and the rest of your classmates tomorrow.” From the driver’s seat, Hiroto’s father said.

“Yeah, I want to head there earlier than everyone else so they don’t take all the cool stuff from me,” Hiroto said, his mind wandering to the state of the art game consoles.

“Well, whatever your decision is, just make sure that you take good care of yourself. Don’t eat too much junk food now.” His mother lightly chided him with a worried tone.

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Hiroto replied, going on his phone and checking any messages that he forgot to respond to.

Katsuki Bakugo: Oi, Hiroto!

Hiroto: What

Katsuki: When we get to that Island, no matter what challenge you’re going to do, I’ll beat every score that you can get!!

Hiroto: K

With that, he tapped out of Katsuki’s chat and went on to a few others.

Mina: Heyo! What sorta special privileges did you get? Can u say?

Hiroto: I get to feel special

Hiroto: Huh?

After a bit of back and forth, Hiroto responded to a few other messages until he finally reached the airport. Bidding his parents farewell, Hiroto entered the large interior, bypassing all of the people who were in a hurry and trying to rush past him or accidentally bumping into him.

Looking around, Hiroto was about to ask for directions when a smartly dressed man with glasses approached him, saying, “Excuse me, Hiroto Moriyama. If you would please follow me, I will escort you to your lounge while the jet is finishing their refuelling.”

Authors Note: Not really much to say here, except let me know what you would like to see on I-Island. I’ve already written stuff that happens on the first day when he’s there alone, so the second day is when the movie takes place with All Might and Midoriya arriving, as well as class 1-A.

Should I add in class 1-B too? It’s a bit more work but I don’t mind.

Also, Uni is starting again, so I might disappear at some point but you guys are patient enough.
