Chapter 46: Entrance Exam (1)

Neji had to accept Ryukyu's offer since she was pressing too much, and rejecting would be disrespectful.

Though when he asked Nejire about it, she seemed to be shrugging it off.

"Well…. if it's Ryukyu, then I approve."

That's what she said. Neji was kind of stunned seeing Nejire being barely concerned with the idea of him having a harem.

He first thought was the Harem Lord title, but according to its description:

[Your partners would have less aversion towards sharing you among themselves.].

Here the keyword is "themselves", meaning they wouldn't share him with random girls. That meant only one thing, Ryukyu was special to Nejire.

From the anime, it was clear Nejire was very close to Ryukyu from the constant neck-locking scenes here and there. It was so close that Neji recalled there being assumptions saying Nejire is into girls. Though even if that statement was true in the canon timeline, it's clearly wrong in this one. But he could tell Nejire was very close with Ryukyu even in this timeline, she did talk a lot about her with him.

"Ah-uh, well, I don't plan to add girls randomly. I want strong and beautiful girls, that's the main criteria." Neji mumbled to himself.

"Um… doesn't Ryuko Tatsuma match that description, though?" Kimi mumbled while lying beside him and wearing a pair of glasses, a t-shirt and a short tight skirt, basically, dressed like a teacher.

Kimi was back to her previous meek personality after her 'brat' side was taught a lesson. Now, she was in Neji's room with the excuse of teaching Neji things for the upcoming final exam. They were done 'studying', so now they were resting on the bed.

Kimi added with a thoughtful pose, "She's both beautiful and she's strong. More importantly, she's an actual dragon-girl… don't you want a dragon girl in your harem?"

Neji sighed seeing Kimi smiling hopefully. She recently started reading manga for some reason, so she was getting familiar with some interesting terms.

Knowing Kimi was a closet pervert, a weird one who gets off seeing her man fucking others. Neji doubted there were fetishes that she wasn't into. She is probably into Beastality too, but knowing that he'd would never do something like that, she can only be satisfied with seeing him fuck demi-human girls.

"So... w-when are you going to catch her?" Kimi asked with hopeful eyes.

"What do you mean 'catch'? You think women are Pokemons?"

"Yess!"

Neji facepalmed.

Sighing, he asked, "Though, do you know anything about her? You were a high ranking hero too, after all."

"Ah… no." Kimi shook her head and started explaining.

It was a short story. After graduating from Shiketsu at the age of 18, she became an independent hero who climbed the rank of No 13 in less than 2 years. But because of an incident, she had to quit her career at the age of 20, back then Ryukyu was only 12 years old.

"Whoa, you're 33 years old this year? Damn, granny, when are you gonna get married?"

Kimi's lips trembled. As she softly smacked his chest and hugged him tightly. "Don't joke with that, it's not funny."

Neji looked at her timid figure and laughed. "Oh, well, I guess I have to take care of you for eternity."

"Not really eternity since I am going to die before you because of old age though." She raised her head and looked at him. "That's considering you won't leave me by the time I am 45, people like milfs but not grannies, after all."

Neji shrugged. "That is considering you ever turn 45."

"...Huh?"

"Nothing. Anyway, I would go to this 'date' and see what Ryukyu really wants. It's in the next-next Sunday."

Kimi's eyes sparkled. "O-okay, then I will do all the arrangements~"

She tried to stand up but Neji dragged her down. "Don't go yet."

She fell on top of him.

"Stay with me." He stared at her. "I am feeling lonely all of a sudden."

After a short silence, Kimi giggled with a blush and started cuddling with him.

Nejire was out to school and their parents hadn't returned from the trip to America, so they had some time to enjoy themselves. They only hoped Kurai wouldn't wake up and start looking for them...

Later,

Nothing much happened, honestly. Ryukyu isn't romantically interested in me. Though I can ascertain she was attracted to me at least, it isn't necessarily romantic.

Based on the talk we had this Sunday, she basically wants me to become a proper hero. She's teaching me morals and stuff, we mostly talked about that topic. Though I did flirt a little at dinner.

I don't mind if someone is trying to teach me morals, I'd only mind if they try to force me into it, which Ryukyu didn't do. She's a nice woman, a person who cares about the other party's thoughts. She asked me each time if I was comfortable or not.

It was honestly an interesting conversation. At first, I planned to just listen to her words with my right ear and let them flow out from my left, but I was surprisingly engrossed in the talk. Our 'argument' was fun when I started to protest her ideas, her ways to defend her beliefs were honestly respectable.

I have said before, I am not hero material, I am a pretty selfish dude, not enough to be called 'evil', but enough to commit villainous acts in case it's necessary.

Then… Why am I going to UA right now? Why am I studying to become a hero?

Yes, it's been 2 months since my fight with Muscular. I was in the car that Kimi was driving. I am going to give the Entrance Exam at U.A right now.

"Hmm, hm, hnn~"

Kimi was surprisingly happy for some reason. From her [State] I can see she's happy that I didn't turn out to be a villain… why did she even assume I would become a villain?

Anyway, I am going to UA for three reasons.

Looking at my minimap, I can see 5 uncleared dungeons within the UA quarters. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that all the 5 dungeons are top 10.

So, the number 1 reason is, I need to complete those dungeons. I can't do that without becoming a UA student since the security there is a bit too much.

Number 2 reason is Momo. Since I have already decided to make Momo my lover, I'd need to be with her in U.A to ensure that. Or if something like canon happens where she becomes interested in Todoroki, everything would be in vain.

Number 3 reason is to simply keep up with the plot. Keeping up with the plot is essential for me and my plan for those two quirks, OFA and AFO… I will talk about it later.

As a bonus reason, UA is targeted by villains every Tuesday, so by only being there, I'd keep getting exp.

I currently have two plans, a short one and a long one. The short term plan is to complete the 5 dungeons in U.A and make Momo mine, officially. The long-term plan is to take One for All from Mirio Togata.

First of all, let's speed run the entrance exam.

'What?'

People were chattering all around the place where Neji stood in front of a table, ahead of everyone else on the line behind him, as he listened to the man sitting in front of him.

"Neji Hado, please read this form and choose a single test. You'd have to give that chosen exam after you finish the writing exam."

He slowly accepted the paper from the man and started reading it.

He frowned. 'Okay, I didn't choose the recommendation letter for the cracks and giggles, but what's this?'

Brushing past the test names, he thought, 'So they changed the entrance exam this year? Sir Nighteye is really doing his best to produce the best heroes, huh.'

After a short silence, he chuckled a little as he read the form on his hand. It was a paper showing 4 choices with an empty box beside them waiting to be checked.

•Rescue: Rescue civilians from a city hit by a Disaster

•Rescue: Rescue civilians from villains who took them hostage

•Battle: Fight Villain Groups and Combat Bots

•Rescue + Battle: Save a group of civilians from a villain attack within a disaster-stricken city. {Not recommended}

The tests are in [Easy, Medium, Hard, Hell] mode if put in game terms.

Sir Nighteye knew how the entrance exams of famous hero schools are biased towards the destructive type quirks, he himself had experienced it when he went to UA. So he took this matter in his hands and changed it. Nezu is an understanding mouse, so after Nighteye explained the truth behind his recent activities, Nezu didn't mind changing these things for the betterment of the whole world.

Seeing the options, Neji raised his pen to tik the one he wanted to choose just when he heard a call from behind him.

"Um…"

He turned to face a short-haired brunette who had two permanent blush on her cheeks, seeing which Neji blinked.

"Do you mind helping me choose one? I-i didn't expect there to be so many options, now I am getting nervous."

"..."
