"Damn."
The most troublesome thing about this society was that non-Pro Heroes were not allowed to use their Quirks without authorization. She did not even have a provisional hero license right now. If she used Rikku and the others to fight, even if she did a good deed, she might still face condemnation from society.
Though such rules were heartless, Yukino could understand them.
Banning the reckless use of Quirks actually minimized accidental criminal incidents to the greatest extent possible.
The other man's blade was lodged in Yukino's bone. When he tried to pull it out, he realized that the arm before him had firmly gripped the blade. No matter how hard he pulled, he could not wrench it free.
"You..."
His gaze fell upon her mask, and the man discovered black hair spilling down from both sides of it.
The two slender legs beneath her robe, clad in stockings, along with the faint outline of a young girl's figure, made his heart jolt slightly.
"A girl?"
"Hmph."
Yukino raised her leg and kicked him in the waist, instantly sending him crashing to the ground.
Taking the opportunity, she wrapped both arms around the girl in her arms, who was only seven or eight years old, and rushed toward the mother nearby.
"Take her and run."
"Thank you, thank you."
The moment the mother voiced her gratitude, Yukino immediately turned around and charged toward the two kidnappers.
"Stop wasting time. Take the goods and go!"
Seeing his companion still intending to fight Yukino, the man in the back shouted anxiously.
"Got it."
The man swallowed, turned around, and jumped into the car without looking back. He then floored the accelerator, pushed the car to maximum speed, and began an old driver's high-speed getaway.
"Looks like I can't catch them either. Forget it, I'll leave it to the heroes."
Yukino rubbed her hand, where the bone was nearly exposed, then walked toward the nearby alley amid the grateful and awestruck looks of the surrounding people.
"Leave this place quickly."
After reaching an empty area, she was preparing to leave when a sudden pain struck her back. Then her head swam, buzzing as she lost consciousness.
Who knew how much time had passed...
"Emmmm, an unfamiliar ceiling?"
When Yukino opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a hospital.
At some point, someone had changed her clothes into a patient gown.
Turning her head, she found a young and beautiful nurse standing beside her. The nurse held several bottles of Potion and was setting up an IV drip for Yukino.
"I'm..."
"Oh, you're awake? Sweetie, lie still. Your condition isn't very good." The nurse smiled as she inserted the needle into Yukino's arm. "Even if you have a recovery Quirk, you still need to take care of yourself... Look at these soft, fair little hands. I'm so jealous."
Yukino's hands felt limp, as though she had been given anesthetic. Her entire body was weak.
She silently called for the system, and a screen immediately appeared before her:
Body Overload, Adaptive Recovery in progress. Upon completion, muscle strength will increase by 50 kilograms, disease probability will decrease, and usage time will extend to 8 hours and 30 minutes. During recovery, this body's usage restrictions are lifted. After recovery is complete, this avatar cannot be used for 3 days.
Other notice: Hey, Host, you went a little too far! Training isn't torture. Please take better care of yourself!!
On the Eve of Final Exams
"Even the system roasted me."
She had nothing to say about her own condition.
She truly had not expected Yukino's body to suffer from overload. Then again, overload was only normal. After all, Yukino Yukinoshita was merely an ordinary middle school student. Aside from the abilities granted by the system, there was not necessarily anything special about her.
And this Adaptive Recovery was probably the system further improving this body.
"Forget it, whatever. I've already become a masochist anyway. If I don't train, I feel uncomfortable."
She tried to sit up from the bed, but the moment she supported herself, her arms gave out.
"Don't move. You need to recover properly." The nurse quickly supported her back.
"Mm... I want to know, what exactly happened?"
In her memories, someone had attacked her. It seemed they had first pierced her back with something, then struck her head with solid metal.
Even now that she was awake, she still felt an indescribable dizziness.
"Those two criminals had accomplices. They were hiding in the alley." The nurse sighed and inserted the needle into her vein.
Yukino glanced at her thin hospital gown and could not help asking, "My clothes..."
"I changed you into the patient gown, pretty girl. Your body is practically flawless and snow-white... Those legs nearly left me staring blankly." The nurse's expression was full of envy.
"You saw everything?"
Yukino's face reddened slightly. Everything except her underwear and bra had been changed.
After helping her with the injection, the nurse quickly left. Not long after, several familiar figures appeared at the ward entrance.
"Todoroki, Midoriya, Tsuyu-chan, Hagakure, Kirishima?"
"You ended up in the hospital... saving people, Su Lin-chan? You really are so cool." Kirishima was different from the others. While everyone else was more or less worried, he alone held up an excited thumbs-up.
"Sorry for making you worry." Yukino tried to sit up a little, but as soon as her arms barely raised her body, they completely lost strength.
"Don't move around, Su Lin-chan." Tsuyu hurriedly said.
No matter what, everyone in Class A truly cared about her.
"Mr. Aizawa and All Might came by earlier too. And Ojiro, Kyoka, Bakugo..."
"Bakugo???"
Yukino twitched at the corner of her mouth. She could practically imagine the expression on Bakugo's face as he looked at her.
And no matter how she thought about it, he did not seem like the sort of person who would worry about a classmate.
"Can't be helped. He was shouting that nobody would care about her while coming here himself. Only that guy would do something like that." Kaminari laughed.
"As expected of Hot-Blooded Monkey." Yukino completely relaxed.
Actually, she could still attend class if she deployed her main body. But it was rare for her to be able to fully relax without any psychological pressure. This sort of rest was far more comfortable than the few days she spent at home during the Work-Study Program.
"Let me sleep a little longer, everyone."
"Okay, no problem. We won't disturb you. Rest well, Su Lin-chan," Tsuyu replied.
After everyone left, Yukino hugged the blanket tightly.
She could not summon Sister Doma as a body pillow at a time like this. If the nurses or doctors saw her, they would definitely think she was a hentai.
After sleeping for a while, she woke up feeling as tired as ever.
She had absolutely no strength. That feeling made Yukino feel very insecure.
"I'll have my main body go to school. On the way there and back, I'll let Sister Doma... Ugh, even though I'm worried, she's safer than my main body at least."
She took out her combat uniform from the cabinet, transformed into Sister Doma, and put it on.
When she arrived at the classroom, she realized everyone was in class.
The students were startled when a cute girl with creamy blond hair and white stockings suddenly appeared at the classroom entrance.
"You came to class? Go sit down." Shota nodded at her.
Sister Doma walked to her desk, lazily lay down on it, and canceled her transformation.
Mineta, who had been drooling at the sight of her, immediately lost interest.
"Well." Shota Aizawa calmly swept his gaze across the room and said, "Although summer vacation is right around the corner, U.A. obviously won't let you relax comfortably for an entire month. This summer, we'll be holding Forest Camp Training."
"Awesome, Forest Camp Training!"
"I want a test of courage!"
For a moment, the entire classroom became lively.
"But..." Shota Aizawa's voice suddenly turned more serious, "before that, anyone who fails to reach the passing line on the final exams will have to attend Hellish Remedial Classes."
"Ahhh, seriously?"
"Looks like we need to work hard."
Mineta excitedly shouted at the girls, "Girls, work hard!!"
Turning her gaze, she found Fumikage Tokoyami looking at her.
His crow-like head nodded in her direction before he turned away again.
"What did that mean?" Honestly, he did not understand.
"For finals, Su Lin-chan will probably take first place again, right?" Mineta seemed to once again feel the terror of being dominated by exam scores.
"A monster who can get full marks in most subjects is terrifying."
---Scene Break---
PS: As everyone requested, the Quirk crime incident in the previous chapter has been changed to an accidental criminal incident.
Also, don't blame the author for this chapter being so short, with only 1,500 words. Mainly because I saw certain comments that affected my mood. When posting comments, please do not discuss politics! Do not insult people!
I have not mentioned a single word about real life in this entire book, yet in the previous chapter, someone somehow compared it to political troublemakers causing a disturbance in Hong Kong. So writing the wrong word once in a novel occasionally makes someone an enemy of the country? Not to mention that this content has absolutely nothing to do with the real world. I figure that no matter how careful an author is, readers posting nonsense in the comments can still drag the book down. What kind of ridiculous smear is this? Is it really so hard not to discuss real-world issues? During a time like this, don't you think it's malicious to pin such labels on the author? The author dashboard says that Ciweimao has recently been strictly investigating political content, so I hope everyone can be more careful with what they say.
Don't blame me for overreacting. This was really too much. (:∠)
You Hit My Hand
The morning classes ended quickly. Though they were looking forward to the vacation training camp, the looming pressure of the exams left several students with poor grades in despair.
For example, Denki Kaminari, who ranked dead last and always wore the expression of a strong man while shouting, "Way, way."
In any case, whether everyone felt anxious or calm, time quietly passed.
Noon arrived.
"Then... I'll have noodles for this meal."
Carrying her tray to a seat, Su Lin picked up her chopsticks, gently lifted a bundle of steaming noodles, and slurped them into her mouth.
"Nice!"
"Su Lin-chan, was the avatar you brought here this morning the one you used during the Sports Festival? Can you tell us what she does?" Momo Yaoyorozu sat beside her with an expectant expression, her enormous weapons of mass destruction drawing near.
"Being cute." Su Lin's gaze swept over her chest.
Yaoyorozu: "..."
"That really was an utterly straightforward answer." Kyoka Jiro was covered in black lines.
"By the way, what kind of content will the practical exam have? Ouch..." Izuku Midoriya had only spoken halfway when an elbow heavily struck his head, cutting him off.
"Sorry. Your head was so big that I accidentally bumped into it." A blond-haired boy stood beside him, his expression giving off a sinister feeling.
"You're from Class B... uh, Monoma?" Midoriya raised his head speechlessly.
Obviously, the other guy had deliberately attacked first, okay? How could this guy still turn the tables on him?
"I heard you encountered the Hero Killer. After the Sports Festival, your Class A gained quite a few more attention-grabbing elements. But... that attention doesn't mean everyone expects great things from you. Instead, it leaves people with the negative impression that trouble always finds you. You... are like people haunted by misfortune." The more he spoke, the more sinister his smile became. "We in Class B don't like being dragged into trouble because of you..."
Slap~
Before he could finish, a fierce blow struck his chin.
"Pfft."
He staggered back several steps in a daze, then violently shook his head. Only then did he see a cute girl with creamy blond hair glaring at him angrily.
"Huh, Su Lin's avatar?"
