Summer Vacation
Jilan put down her teacup and casually asked, "Yoarashi, you came to visit me when I was in the hospital, right? My classmates should have been there too. Did you two talk?"
Jilan had only asked casually, but upon hearing Jilan mention this issue Inasa Yoarashi's face immediately darkened, and he took a large gulp of vodka before speaking.
"Jilan, you know I utterly despise Endeavor, and I especially hate his son, Shoto Todoroki, who has a dual personality. When I heard you defeated him at the Sports Festival, I felt incredibly satisfied, even more excited than if I had defeated him myself. But can you believe it? That guy, just like his father, can forget about you so easily, despite doing something so outrageous!"
"Yoarashi, you mean Shoto Todoroki doesn't remember you at all? Is that so strange?" Jilan said speechlessly, "He only met you once and only said one sentence to you. It would be strange if you remembered him for so long."
Yoarashi said unwillingly, "But I saw him at a test site on I-Island before, and I even deliberately tested him from behind and broke his record! It's strange that he doesn't remember me after I made such an obvious move!"
"You should ask him yourself, I don't know either." Jilan shrugged and said casually, "By the way, isn't All Might your idol? Now that you've finally met him, don't you feel a bit disillusioned? After all, he was trampled underfoot by the enemy right in front of you."
"How is that possible!?" Yoarashi slammed her hand on the table excitedly. "All Might was forced to remain silent under enemy threats to avoid harming us, the hostages. But that's what makes a true Pro Hero, a hero who puts people at ease! Compared to Endeavor, who only knows how to use violence to defeat enemies, All Might, who prioritizes the safety of the people, is far better. If it weren't for us hindrances, All Might would have already defeated the enemy!"
Jilan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Inasa Yoarashi to have such a high opinion of All Might. He pondered for a moment, then continued, "So, do you think All Might's strength has declined?"
Inasa Yoarashi firmly stated, "Absolutely impossible! All Might's strength is at the very top of this world!"
"Compared to you?"
"Ten times stronger than me!"
It seems that, to ordinary people, and even to a Hero Course student like Inasa Yoarashi with his immense strength, All Might's power has not diminished.
But Jilan knew that All Might's injuries were severe, so severe that he couldn't suppress them at all. Since All Might was still able to maintain his peak strength, what had he used to gain that power?
Jilan didn't want to think about it, but the problem was staring him in the face.
The reason All For One hasn't come out to cause trouble right now is either because he's afraid of All Might or because his injuries haven't healed. But since All Might can add "Super Regeneration" to his Nomu, he can't possibly not have such a ability himself. Even the most serious injuries will eventually heal.
All Might passed on his KO to Midoriya. Even if it didn't harm his own KO, the urgency he showed proved one thing: he didn't have much time left and was now eager to train a successor, Izuku Midoriya.
Jilan recalled All Might's maniacal laughter. His smile was so bright that it gave people a sense of security. However, Jilan was now quite certain that there was an unconcealable anxiety behind that smile.
Jilan drank the tea in one gulp, the bitter taste of the tea spreading in his mouth.
It seems this summer vacation is destined to be anything but ordinary.
Even during summer vacation, Inasa Yoarashi didn't have time to relax. He drank all night at Jilan's house last night, and the next morning he was full of energy and ran ten laps around the neighborhood before heading to Shiketsu High School's training ground to train. He did this every day.
Although it's summer vacation, the schools are still open all day for the Hero Course. This applies not only to Shiketsu High School but also to U.A. High School, where many students train during the summer break.
Although Inasa Yoarashi wanted to invite Jilan to train together, Jilan declined his invitation.
I've been busy these past few days, so I probably won't be home.
Using this reason, Jilan also declined the invitations from Yaoyorozu, Hagakure, Midoriya, and Iida. After that, his phone was switched off, and no one could get through to him.
Midoriya and the others tried to find out where Jilan had gone, but none of them could get any information from Jilan. They asked other classmates, but no one knew where Jilan was either.
Until a week later.
"Young Miss, are you going out again?" A butler with a white beard asked the black-haired girl in a long dress who was putting on her shoes at the door. "Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?"
"Uncle Fu, it's just a trip to the bookstore, don't worry about me." Yaoyorozu, like a sheltered young lady, put on a wide-brimmed lace hat and replied with a dignified smile.
After returning from I-Island, Yaoyorozu felt a deep sense of her lack of knowledge. She should have been the most knowledgeable person among her peers, but compared to Melissa, who had no knowledge at all, she felt ashamed of herself.
Her own hero title is "Creati," and Melissa at her age is already able to create all sorts of useful equipment, while she can only make things that are at best imitations, without any innovation.
Yaoyorozu was very grateful to Melissa. It was this journey that made her realize her shortcomings and that what she needed to do was to innovate and invent, rather than blindly and clumsily imitate.
This week, Yaoyorozu, who had declined the invitation from Mina Ashido, who was excitedly suggesting a karaoke party in the girls' group chat, stayed in his study, reading many books that inspired his imagination and enhanced his creativity.
Having read these books, Yaoyorozu gained a deep understanding of the difficulty of creation, and therefore felt even more awe for the Detnerat company, a company specializing in supernatural products. This company has produced many personalized products since the beginning of society, capable of meeting the needs of various levels and different groups of people. They are heroes among inventors, as if the bottlenecks of invention do not exist for their company.
Yaoyorozu wanted to visit the company, but Detnerat was a family business and didn't just accept visits from anyone. To get a visit, you had to submit your appointment documents several days in advance, and they had to be in paper form. Only then would you have a chance to be invited.
On this trip, Yaoyorozu wanted to buy some more books and also wanted to stop by the post office to write a letter.
However, besides this agonizing wait, there is another way to visit the interior of Detnerat.
Every six months, Detnerat deliberately releases one hundred items containing hidden invitations into the market. If you manage to obtain an invitation, you'll get a chance to visit Detnerat's offices and receive valuable souvenirs. As a result, many people covet this opportunity, much like gamblers hoping to win the lottery, often loitering around supermarkets hoping to get an invitation.
This was actually a marketing strategy, Detnerat successfully used this marketing plan to increase sales significantly. Although the souvenirs were valuable, they were insignificant compared to the increased sales volume, and they were happy to see customers doing so.
If his reservation is cancelled, he'll just buy an invitation. That's what Yaoyorozu thought.
