Saiki was woken up by his mother early in the morning today.

"You can't let friends wait for you", After saying this, Saiki was thrown out by his mother the next second after breakfast.

[Today I'm still completely confused about what mother is thinking.]

Saiki looked at the closed door silently. [It takes only 1 second for me to teleport there.]

[Well, let's find a place to sit at first.]

There were more than 2 hours before the appointed time, Saiki found a coffee shop on the way to the station to kill time.

[Having eaten here once before, this coffee shop's coffee jelly is really delicious.]

Saiki used the spoon and took a bite.

[Coffee jelly, it has such a smooth texture and a nice mellow taste.]

Although he just had breakfast, coffee jelly was different. Saiki did not think that a small coffee jelly will kill him.

[So, the coffee jelly is finished and it's almost time.]

After paying, Saiki entered a small toilet cubicle.

[Teleportation!]

Pushing the door open, he has already reached the crowded station.

[There are so many people...]

Saiki found an empty seat in the area and sat down.

[At times like this I'm glad, that I'm not in the original world.]

Telepathy.

One of Saiki's passive skills, when wearing his suppressors, he will only accept human thoughts within a range of 200 meters without any exceptions. Humans who enter the range will absolutely not escape his sensors. Except for small creatures such as insects, even animal thoughts can be interpreted.

[Well, after coming to this world, the superpowers have changed slightly... If it was in the original world, I would be overwhelmed by these noises now.]

Yes.

For unknown reasons, when Saiki came to the present world, some changes in his superpowers occurred and telepathy no longer worked for all humans. In fact, he can only hear some people's thoughts by looking directly into their eyes...

[Although I don't know what the telepathic evaluation's criteria are, it really helps. It feels like it's becoming controllable. Thanks to that, it's even better to sleep at night.]

"Saiki-san!", ​​Midoriya saw Saiki from a long distance, "Were you waiting for a long time? Your mother said you went out two hours ago!"

Saiki stood up, 'No, I just arrived in a sense.'

"Huh? Is that so, did something bad happen on the way?", Midoriya had already picked up the tickets and asked with some worry.

'...No, it's better to say something good happened.'

[Coffee jelly, I don't mind coming for you again.]

All Might's exhibition took only a few tens of minutes by train. Although Midoriya already visited there once yesterday, today he was still full of enthusiasm. It may be because someone who he can finally share his interests with was by his side. He kept talking about All Might without taking a break.

[Thank you, Midoriya.] After receiving the torture of talking by Midoriya all the way, Saiki's face has darkened at least twice. [I'm going to be the biggest hater of All Might now.]

"...Then All Might said—ah, we're here! That's it!", Midoriya gestured happily, even his eyes lit up, pointing at the black building in front of them and saying, "It's the ticket gate!"

[It has to be a lie!]

Saiki's blank face was twisted for a moment. [Wait, are we really going in there? Are there really so many people in Japan? This is too exaggerated!]

In front of Saiki's eyes were two long lines, which wete crossing the last intersection and no one knew how long it would take to reach here.

"It's okay, as soon as the opening begins, the ticket check will be really fast!" Midoriya seemed to be frightened by the thick black gas emanating from Saiki, so he explained in haste, "The staff has a very suitable quirk!"

Fortunately, Midoriya was indeed right. Looking at the front that was full of people, shortly after the ticket inspection started, it was already Midoriya's and Saiki's turn.

[So that's how it is, a cloning quirk...]

Saiki looked at the staff who checked his ticket and the dozens of people who looked exactly the same, [A really convenient quirk.]

In fact, if Saiki wanted to he could also clone himself, but most of them would be strange and defective, the original body and the clone could even become two completely different species.

[Don't even think about it helping out, such a clone will only cause trouble.]

After entering the exhibition, he found out that there was a lot of space inside, even doubling the number of people would not be a problem. It was divided into several different areas, including stage performances, combat clothing display over the years, famous battle video displays and so on.

'Midoriya, what is that stage for?'

Saiki pointed at an abrupt platform in the center of the venue and asked this blankly.

[I don't know why, but I think it's not something pleasant...]

"Oh! That!", Midoriya has been in a state of excitement since he came in, "It is the venue for the lucky spectators to play at! The winning prize has the collector's signature poster designed by All Might which I always wanted. There are only ten copies in the country!!!"

[Your expression looks terrible, Midoriya.]

Saiki paused, leaving no trace while walking away from Midoriya.

'So I'll go over there first and we'll get in touch.'

Saiki told Midoriya while walking away.

"Uh-huh, then I'll go..." Midoriya walked towards the other direction with a dreamy smile on his face.

[Wait, Midoriya, you are floating up, your feet are off the ground, is there really no problem?]

Looking at the back of his classmate silently, Saiki resolutely turned around.

[How scary you are, Midoriya!]

He was saying that he is going to the video area, when in fact, the real destination of Saiki wad next to the video area——the public resting area!

Well, Saiki had no interest in All Might and wan't really excited about the man's fighting videos or battle suits either.

So Saiki decided to wait in the resting area until Midoriya sent him a message.

[It really is All Might! No matter how many villains, no matter what disadvantages! The final victory would definitely be almighty!!!]

Uh-huh.

Saiki looked at the durian head in a complicated mood, who was standing on the path leading to the resting area.

[It's the appearance of troublesome person No. 2.]

Katsuki Bakugou, Izuku Midoriya's childhood friend, Kusuo Saiki's elementary and junior high school classmate. Although he usually has a wicked face, he is unexpectedly a bad-tempered good boy.

[Well, it is troublesome if you get caught up with him.]

Saiki used his invisibility, passing by Bakugou's back carefully.

"...?", Bakugou seemed to sense something and looked back behind him.

[Just for a moment, it seemed like that vulgar pink head was here? ...Must have been a hallucination.]

No, it was not a hallucination.

Really keen of you , Bakugou.

Saiki, who was "stared" at by the explosion head, froze, then quickly walked to a corner of the resting area and sat down, the farthest place from the video area.

His invisibility was canceled and no one around noticed that there was suddenly a person in the corner, even if he was, there would be nothing wrong with it.

In the distance, Saiki saw that Bakugou refocused on the video again and did not mention himself anymore, so he was slightly relieved.

[Now that I think about it, I still don't know the conditions of my telepathy, it could not be strength. Although I can't hear the voices of really strong guys, Bakugou can be considered one of the best at this age... Telepathy has been effective on him, but Midoriya, has no quirk and his physical strength was also poor, so why can't I read his mind...]

So the condition isn't physical? Maybe it's spiritual?

[Hey, if that's the case, does that mean explosion boy is spiritually fragile? ...Wait, maybe...]

Saiki held the coffee in his hand and his eyes widened slightly. Generally, there are many such settings. Someone looks fierce and rough on the outside but is actually a sensitive and vulnerable person on the inside... This contrast.

[It's really sad, poor Bakugou.]

An indescribable smile passed across his face and Saiki had a feeling of satisfaction.

Speaking of which, Saiki refused to have anything to do with Bakugou and Midoriya at first. After all, one was high-ranking and famous for the school and the other was a trouble attractor. Although the two were childhood friends, their relationship was terrible.

[Listening to the rumors, the two were still very good in kindergarten, but since Midoriya did not awaken a quirk and Bakugou's quirk became stronger and stronger, the relationship between the two began to deteriorate.]

Saiki was lost in his thoughts.

[What a complicated relationship.]

After Saiki transferred to a class with Midoriya and Bakugou, he actually thought about changing their relationship. After all, Bakugou came to Midoriya to check in every day and Midoriya happened to be sitting behind Saiki, which led to Saiki often being forced to become involved in a dispute between the two.

[Well, because of them, my presence in the class is much higher, which is not a good thing.]

So one month later, Saiki gave Bakugou the hint that "Midoriya is an ordinary classmate", thinking that he could finally calm himself, but then he found out...

When Midoriya found that Bakugou was no longer in trouble with himself, he was moved to death, thinking that Bakugou finally accepted him. But two weeks later, Bakugou still treated him like a passer-by and Midoriya started to get anxious. He even went to ask Bakugou what happened, but he was blocked by Bakugou's "What does it have to do with you" After answering that, every day, Saiki could feel the grievances of the classmate behind him and hear him mumbling his broken thoughts in his ears.

[It was a living nightmare for two weeks.]

Saiki thought about the despair at that time and unconsciously shuddered.

[So, I thought it was a bullying incident on campus, but it turned out to be that one was willing to hurt and the other willing to suffer...]

[Midoriya, in fact, might be a victim of Stockholm syndrome .]

"Ding—"

The notification of his phone interrupted Saiki's thoughts.

[Saiki-san! You can come to the exhibition center~ The lucky draw is about to start!]
