Orion wasn't sure anymore. For some reason, only he could see Rika. Others couldn't even see an object if it was in contact with her. It was very strange.
Explaining her existence was hard—really hard. But because Nezu and the others saw objects disappearing and then reappearing right in front of their eyes, they gave Yuta the benefit of the doubt.
Many tests were arranged to determine whether Yuta was telling the truth, but all of that would have to wait. The adults were now in the mood to give him a hard time.
"All that aside, you shouldn't have left the hospital like that, Yuta," Nezu replied. Little did the rodent know that Yuta no longer needed to stay at UA to continue his system progress. This time, he wasn't the pushover he was last time.
Yuta just rolled his eyes and replied, "Oh, come on. Since the day I woke up, I've been perfectly fine. Out of everyone, at least you should have seen that coming. How long did you think I would stay in that room anyway?
And let's be honest, it's a good thing I wasn't in that damn hospital when those villains came. Not only did that save my life, kind of, but it also helped Endeavor, right?" Yuta shrugged off the others' gazes.
Seeing that the boy wasn't taking them seriously, the others couldn't help but sigh. The reason was that they knew Yuta was right.
"Sigh, okay, but what about what happened yesterday? Where did you disappear to after telling Endeavor you'd be back after getting a snack?" Aizawa asked.
"No snack, a proper meal," Yuta immediately corrected.
"And about where I was... Well, I went to meet someone and then headed home from there, and while I was in the middle of that, I found her," Yuta said, pointing to the girl who was looking at him and the teachers as if they were performing some sort of comedy show for her.
"Who did you meet?" Nezu asked.
"Well, not exactly 'meet' in a normal sense. What I really did was visit my grandmother's grave," Yuta replied, not lying, as he honestly did that, but it didn't take more than half an hour at most. He wasn't Kakashi, who wasted hours sitting in the graveyard.
Hearing this, the others just nodded. Being a hero was all the hype and glory, but those who were truly Pro Heroes knew how dangerous this line of work was. Doing something like that was actually very natural.
And Yuta had literally faced a life-threatening situation with AFO. Though the boy never usually showed it, and they didn't feel it, he was still just a child.
"Alright, I'm out of here. I also have to meet my friends and get this bottomless pit another one of those tasty candies." Yuta then stood up, causing the others, who had more questions, to falter.
"Come on, Rika, we're out of here," Yuta called out, making the others look at him like he was crazy. Though they saw that what Yuta was saying had some weight to it, since they themselves couldn't see or hear Rika, it was hard to believe him.
"Hey, we're not done yet," Nezu called out.
"Maybe, but I'm done here. Those were the two questions related to my disappearance, right? Any more won't be connected to that, and if those questions were really important, one of you could have asked me when I was dying of boredom in the hospital.
So you can bet your ass I'm not staying one more second inside this room. That time in the hospital felt like ages. I'd rather have you point me towards villains whose asses I can kick," Yuta replied and walked out, leaving the others gobsmacked.
All Might blinked, and Aizawa sighed. They knew the boy would be mad about being kept in the hospital and they also expected him to leave sooner or later. They just didn't think it would be this soon.
"Now how are we supposed to keep that boy out of the public eye? The first thing he does after getting out of that room is steal the spotlight from the current number one hero."
All three of them looked a little depressed at this.
Yuta didn't know that his classmates were now living in a hostel specially made by UA for them after what happened with AFO.
So after getting something for Rika to eat—again!—he started asking around why classes were no longer in session.
Rika giggled and kept on repeating that. She heard Yuta say it, and being the kid she was...
Yuta couldn't help but sigh at this. He had to be careful with the language he used around the girl from now on. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✦fire.net
Apparently, classes weren't in session because, starting tomorrow, all the students would be going to work-study sessions—all except those who failed to get their probationary hero licenses.
He frowned at this. He really wanted to meet his friends if possible, but if they were back home, that might not be possible.
He didn't even have his phone with him right now; it got wrecked during the fight with AFO. Though he had a phone from the JJK world, it didn't have any of his contacts.
Sighing, he was about to head back home, knowing that he had already confirmed with Nighteye that he would be coming over to his agency for the work-study. He didn't have to go through all the paperwork again.
The only disappointment was that he couldn't meet his friends and, more than that, Toru.
Sighing again, he was about to take Rika and go back home, maybe take her to a park or something, but before that, he heard something.
"Yuta." A familiar voice reached his ears, and he instantly recognized who it was.
