"No need for pleasantries. If you have the guts, come at me. I won't let you touch the nuclear weapon anyway."
Tenya Iida bent his legs, carefully observing Yukino's movements. A few seconds later, he noticed Yukino's steps quicken. He immediately activated his engines, closing the distance between them without hesitation.
"Don't even think about getting close!"
"Holy crap, that was fast."
Yukino immediately rolled to the side, narrowly dodging a flying kick.
"I told you, you can't get near the nuclear weapon." Missing the kick, Tenya Iida didn't stop. He spun around on the spot and threw the cloth strips from his costume, attempting to bind her.
Yukino had no choice but to retreat quickly.
"I said you can't escape."
The white cloth had already wrapped around her several times, trapping her in a tight bundle, quickly covering her completely.
"Got you."
But before Tenya could celebrate, he saw a strange smile appear on Yukino's face: "You lost."
"What?"
The next moment...
"Hero Team wins!"
All Might's voice boomed from the broadcast, and Tenya froze in place.
pS: Uploading one chapter first. I feel like I'm forgetting how to write.
Chapter 14: This Wonderful World
"Lost... I lost?"
Tenya Iida couldn't believe the outcome. He quickly turned his head and saw a young man standing next to the nuclear bomb, his hand resting on the surface of the warhead.
This person was clearly Su Lin's main body.
"What did you think the avatars were for?" he said with a smile.
Yukino and X-Hair were only meant to attract the enemy's attention, to cover up the main body's stealthy approach behind the nuclear bomb. If Tenya Iida's attention hadn't been entirely focused on Yukino, this tactic might not have succeeded.
"So, I lost." Tenya Iida lowered his head in regret.
However, less than half a minute later, Yukino, still bound on the ground, suddenly spoke with some annoyance: "Iida-kun, how long are you going to keep me tied up? Untie me quickly."
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
Seeing Yukino's flushed and resentful expression, Iida felt embarrassed and quickly released her, freeing her from the restraints.
"Phew, that's better."
Stretching, Yukino felt refreshed.
The next matches involved other groups, but Su Lin didn't watch. Instead, he grabbed some simple snacks and headed to the infirmary.
"Oh my, are you here to visit Kirishima? His injuries were quite severe. Although he's fully recovered, he might need to rest in bed for a while." Recovery Girl welcomed Su Lin and kindly gave him a few candies.
Walking into the room, he indeed found the red-haired boy lying there.
"Hey, feeling any better?"
Su Lin placed the fruit he'd splurged on nearby, a pained expression crossing his face.
Even for him, he didn't usually eat such expensive fruit.
"You're here?" Kirishima blinked in surprise, then flashed a mouthful of white teeth. "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
"This is no longer a minor injury. I was worried it might leave some kind of trauma." Su Lin sat down in the seat next to him and yawned lazily.
"Haha, how could it? But compared to you, I'd rather be visited by a girl. Even one of your avatars would be fine. What about that blonde-haired girl?"
"She can only appear for five minutes a day. You'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Is that so? Alright, alright." Kirishima looked disappointed. "But I'm curious, are your avatars and your main body the same person, or do they have their own personalities and thoughts?"
"They are all controlled by me." Su Lin didn't mind revealing the truth. "I wish they had their own personalities, but in reality, it's all just me."
"I see..." He rubbed his chin and then said somewhat strangely, "But I have a peculiar question."
"What is it?"
"Are your avatars truly avatars? Is the main body always the main body? Perhaps the truth isn't like that. I think there's a possibility that you're actually a girl, and you just mistakenly thought of your awakened avatar as yourself."
"..."
Su Lin suddenly felt like the guy in front of him was asking for a beating.
He swallowed hard, annoyed. "I can tell the difference."
Speaking of which, the U.A. High world did have some latent settings that he found hard to accept.
For example, most people awakened their Quirks at the age of four, when their personalities hadn't yet solidified. Some Quirks became unstable later on. For instance, people with the Seal Quirk became more and more like seals as they aged, eventually losing their human features.
He had to wonder if Tsuyu Asui would end up looking more and more like a frog as she got older, or if Fumikage Tokoyami would turn into a crow (though he was already a crow, technically).
After all, many of the parents of these quasi-human children didn't look human at all.
Thinking about it, this world was truly terrifying.
After visiting Kirishima, he returned to the classroom to find that the final group matches had already concluded, with everyone discussing them in small clusters.
"Todoroki is really strong, he froze the entire building in one go."
"Bakugo's Quirk is also terrifying."
"Everyone's been working hard because of Su Lin's performance."
"But no matter what, they can't reach his level, right?"
"Is it over already?"
Seeing All Might, who had disappeared somewhere, Su Lin quietly adjusted his hat, not going over to join the others.
The day's lessons were essentially winding down.
As the sun set, everyone left the classroom, ending their day at the academy.
Su Lin walked to the classroom window and noticed Bakugo and Midoriya talking in the distance.
"I remember that according to the original plot, those two were supposed to have a fight today. Has the timeline really changed because of my arrival?"
Su Lin still observed everything from a bird's-eye view, but now... the future had subtly changed due to his interference.
Would his ability to grasp the plot weaken because of this?
"Whatever, I should leave first."
Just as he was about to move, he saw the two figures in the distance suddenly start fighting.
"They really did fight after all."
With a "it has nothing to do with me" attitude, Su Lin, too lazy to watch, left directly.
The next day, he arrived at the classroom with dark circles under his eyes and immediately slumped onto his desk to sleep.
To make ends meet, Su Lin was really pushing himself, working until midnight. As a consequence, he could only sacrifice class time.
Huff, huff...
While he slept, Shota Aizawa entered the classroom. He looked at the whole class with a weary expression, and after everyone quieted down, he slowly crawled out of his sleeping bag.
"Alright... you all worked hard in yesterday's combat training. I've already seen the VTR and the results. Bakugo, Midoriya... I heard you two fought last night, and Midoriya injured one of his arms. Please stop acting like children; I don't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters every day."
"Yes!" Midoriya replied nervously.
Shota Aizawa nodded.
"Now, let's move on to today's class meeting. I apologize for the short notice, but today you need to decide who will be the Class Representative."
After a brief silence.
Eijiro Kirishima suddenly shouted, "Great! I want to be the class president, let me do it."
"Me too..." Denki Kaminari chimed in, raising his hand.
"I want to be the leader!"
"Me too."
Everyone suddenly got excited. Even Bakugo desperately raised his hand, wanting that position.
"Quiet!"
Tenya Iida suddenly roared, interrupting everyone's shouting.
"This is a very important job that leads everyone, a heavy responsibility. It's not something you can just become if you want to. I believe we should use a vote to elect the true leader to ensure fairness. What do you think, teacher?"
After speaking, he looked expectantly towards the podium, hoping for the teacher's approval.
"Whatever you want, as long as you elect someone," Shota Aizawa yawned, lazily crawled back into his sleeping bag, and then slumped to the ground.
"Then it's decided."

P.S.: This is the second update today. Future updates will generally be at night or before 6 AM the next day.
Chapter 15: Suddenly Hijacked
10 minutes later...
"4 votes? Are you kidding me?" Su Lin's eyebrows twitched involuntarily as he realized he had the most votes.
There were only 20 people in the class, and he alone received so many votes. In contrast, Momo Yaoyorozu had 2 votes, and Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist... didn't even get a single vote.
"O-one vote. Someone actually voted for me, but it's still not enough. As expected of the Holy Order." Tenya Iida covered his head, deeply discouraged.
"Didn't you want to be it badly? You didn't even vote for yourself. What were you thinking?" Momo Yaoyorozu said, sweating, from the seat to his left and behind.
"Fumikage, who did you vote for?"
"I voted for that person. From him, I felt an aura of darkness." Fumikage Tokoyami's gaze quietly shifted away from Su Lin. From a certain angle, the black-haired Yukino was indeed to his liking.
"The results are in. The Class Representative is Su Lin, and the Vice President is Momo Yaoyorozu." Shota Aizawa, who had somehow crawled out of his sleeping bag, said lazily, sounding quite satisfied.
"Hah, what did these guys even base their choices on? Strength? Why me?" Su Lin tapped his head, expressing his confusion.
In any case, the Class Representative position was settled. However, he had never been a Class Representative before, nor was he interested in messy affairs. He figured he'd just slack off.
Fortunately, the Class Representative for the Hero Course wasn't like those in regular classes who did menial tasks. It was a leadership position, so he didn't have to worry about being swamped with work all day.
Lunchtime in the cafeteria.
Carrying his tray, Su Lin sat down and silently took out a black mask with a pattern from his person.
"It really is better to cover my face with this from now on."
"Eh, why?"
A voice suddenly came from the empty seat opposite him.
"Pfft, Toru, when did you get here?"
Seeing the pair of gloves, Su Lin's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She wasn't wearing any clothes right now, was she? Sitting opposite him naked like this, wasn't she used to it?
"Su Lin, I voted for you today."
"Really?" Shifting his attention away from the clothing matter, Su Lin couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
But on second thought, it made sense. He and Toru Hagakure had known each other the longest in the class, so it was highly probable she'd vote for him.
Putting the mask aside, Su Lin was about to say who he had voted for when an alarm suddenly blared through the hall.
