01: To the world of heroes:

~CHAPTER NINE~

Rimuru headed downstairs after getting on his uniform and trying his best to neaten his hair.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Natashi was just placing the food onto the table on their plates, and she looked up at him and smiled: "Looking good~" she cooed.

Well, this was somewhat embarrassing, and Rimuru couldn't help but advert his eyes and blush lightly: "Ahh....um....yeah..."

The heck was he saying?

Natashi chuckled at this, and then gestured for him to sit down at the table.

So he did, and she sat down opposite him.

"Dig in." Natashi gestured to his food then with a smile: "And I hope you like it. I worked hard on it."

Rimuru chuckled at this himself before he began eating with her.

There was a few moments of silence, but then Rimuru remembered something and looked up: "So, um, how did you and All Might meet?"

Natashi looked up as she was chewing: "Huh?" She then swallowed: "What brought this on?"

"Oh, um....j-just curiosity..." Rimuru seemed like he suddenly did something wrong. Was he intruding too much?

Natashi sort of sensed that Rimuru had those similar thoughts, and she smiled more at this: "Don't worry about it kiddo. You're allowed to ask questions." She then winked.

This caused Rimuru to avert his eyes and slightly blush.

'Damn it all, why does she have to go and act all cute now?'

Natashi then leant her elbows on the table: "Anyway, to answer your question: Me and All Might met at a local festival in the centre of town. We were teenagers and I'm sure I had a crush on him. We hitted it off straight away with some fun festival games, and maybe we got a bit too competitive and carried away because we eventually got told we couldn't play anymore of the game stalls." She chuckled as she explained.

Rimuru happily listened whilst eating up his breakfast slowly and lightly chuckling here and there.

Natashi contuined: "Anyway, after all that, we just walked around and spoke about all sorts of things. Then we exchanged numbers, and declared eachother friends. We texted eachother daily as we both studyied in our seperate colleges. We met up weekly to hang out at all different places. Sometimes I would bring my friends, and sometimes he would bring his. Though at one point when we were alone, I confessed my feelings to him. He was shocked of course, but then lightly shut me down. But didn't completely friend zoned me. Just at that time, he told me he wasn't ready, and would tell me when he was. Hee, and to this day, I am still waiting."

Man, she just kept on talking and talking, but too be honest, Rimuru did not mind this. It was actually relaxing to hear all this.

She contuined telling him little stories as he ate, and before they knew it, there was a knock on the door.

Natashi was the one that answered it, and it was All Might.

Natashi turned to Rimuru and Rimuru stood up and walked to them.

All Might laughed and then boomed out: "Hello young Tempest, my boy! Ready for your offical first day at school?!"

Where did he think he was, at a karoake?

Sweatdropping, Rimuru chuckled nervously, and then Natashi ruffed up his hair to his surprise: "Good luck out then Rimuru." She smiled, and Rimuru nodded.

Then it was off to school.

It was like a blast from the past.

...

They arrived at the school in Aizawa's car 20 minutes later, and after being let in, All Might took Rimuru inside whilst Aizawa went to park the car.

Rimuru was taken to the teacher's office room where there were erupted cheers welcoming him. It obviously made the poor lad jump.

Inside were Midnight, President Mic, and Nezu the principle.

It made Rimuru a little embarrassed to be fully offically accepted into UA now.

All Might was standing by the doorway behind Rimuru through this, and now he stepped through moving past Rimuru: "Ha, alright my lad, how about you make your way to class 1A now."

Rimuru sweatdropped at this. Where was that again?

*Answer: I have prepared a map for you of the school.*

'Adda Raphael!' Rimuru was more then pleased, so he nodded at All Might: "Alright then."

And with, he left with hearing all teachers wish him good luck...

...Following the mental image of a map that the Great Sage had provided him, Rimuru had made it to class 1A without any problems.

Peeping into the class now, there were already half the students in there.

Rimuru blinked as he watched them chatter, mess around and other things that kids do in classrooms unsupervised before their teacher walks in. Though these lot seemed tamed compared to what he had to put up in school back in Japan about 20 or so years ago.

So that was a relief.

Rimuru was so focused on watching the ones inside though that he forgot to remember to move from the door, and also others coming through from the outside.

So that resulted in someone barging into him from behind; causing him to loose his balance and stumbled forward.

Pushing past him then was Katsuki Bakugo, who scowled him for being in the way.

'And here we go, the delinquent.' Rimuru frowned at this, and then looked up at Bakugo once he regained his footing.

Bakugo with his school uniform a bit of a mess, had his hands in his pockets as he was slouched over a bit. He had a nasty scowl on his face, and turned to look at Rimuru: "You're in the way, extra!"

'Extra!?' Rimuru's face was full of offense. Like, the nerve of that guy.

'Why I odda-'

Though, Rimuru was an adult, and picking on a kid was just immature.

But, hey wait, everybody here thought he was a kid. It was why he was here in this school situation to began with. So maybe he could use this chance to throw his maturity out of the window just this once.

His innerself was definitely grinning like a prick now.

So still frowning as he tried not to smile, Rimuru shot back at Bakugo: "Well hey, you just pushed me. You couldn've just asked."

"Ehh?" Bakugo raised an eyebrow with his remaining scary look: "Are you talking back to me?"

"I dunno. Figure it out yourself."

"What? You think you can talk back and get all cocky just because you enrolled into UA? Don't get ahead of yourself, you bastard. Unless you want me to pound you flat." Bakugo growled.

Now Rimuru started to get angry; with his face contorting. This kid. He was so far up his own ass, that it was starting to piss him off.

Rimuru stepped forward-

"Yo! It's Rimuru!"

Suddenly, from behind, someone called out and then wrapped an arm around Rimuru's shoulders. This was Denki Kaminari. He was grinning.

This caused Rimuru to call out in shock and almost loose his footing for the second time today.

He then managed to take a look at Denki by his side.

This completely defused the situation, and kissing his teeth, Bakugo moved away now.

Maybe that was Denki's plan all along?

Rimuru looked at him, and Denki gave him a wink and a thumbs up.
