11 Chapter 11 Our MC is not dense don’t worry
(A/N: I changed the eye colour of out MC to black. I edited it in the last chapter too. Thank you Emmanuel_Aderemi and Lord_Almighty for the suggestion.)
Opening the door to the venue, the sounds music and chattering came blasting out. Everyone was talking loudly to make sure they're heard over the music, and the music itself was just popular songs chosen by the students themselves.
By the way, "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is playing right now, and no I didn't invent it, it was already a song for a long time. But recently it's become really popular again because people have discovered the joy and pain of Rick Rolling, joy by being the trapper, and pain by being the victim. Yes, I started it.
Anyways, while walking around, I start looking over everyone's heads trying to use the gamer system to find a familiar name. Not finding anyone for now, I then head over to the food table and start filling my plate. They have an all-you-can-eat buffet-style food system here, so you can eat a lot.
While doing so, on the stage at the end of the hall, Daishin-sensei appears to make an announcement.
Nabe- "Ahem! Well, this is it. Very soon, all of you will become fully-fledged heroes ready to jump into the real world and work to make this world a better place. I don't have much more I can give you, except these next words."
Everyone quietened down to make sure they hear whatever Daishin-sensei says next.
Nabe- "I wish you all a safe journey, from the bottom of my heart."
Saying this, he gives off a heartfelt smile. Unfortunately, it was hidden by his moustache, but everyone can feel it.
After that, he hobbles off the stage and went back to the teacher's section.
Everyone else will think he struggled to get down because of his short stature and body shape, but I know better.
Mere stairs wouldn't have been able to hinder his movement, his training has made sure of that.
His body.
It's breaking down.
Seeing that, I sigh. There's nothing I can do. Or rather, he wouldn't let me do anything. His time has come, and he accepts that.
Shaking my head, I continue stuffing my face with food, when I suddenly got a quest, something that didn't happen for a long time. Ever since I git LV 50, I stopped getting those daily quests, so my levelling has stagnated.
[A quest has generated.]
[Meet Again.
Have Rumi Usagiyama promise to take you in for your hero work experience after the Sports Festival.
Reward: Mysterious USB.
Failure: Death in the nude.]
Excuse me, why did the penalty evolve? Did I do something bad recently?
Pushing those thoughts to the back of my head, I accept the mission. Having renewed motivation, I continue moving around trying to find a certain someone through their floating name tag while eating my pizza pockets.
Finally, after a small amount of time, I see it.
<Rumi Usagiyama LV 69>
Arata- "Nice."
Saying my piece, I start making my way towards her. She wasn't dressed too gaudily, just a short skirt and t-shirt, nothing too flashy or constricting.
She was talking to her two friends about where they're going to base themselves once they officially graduate.
Arata- "Heeeeey!"
Even though I was a while away, I called out to them. With Rumi's sensitive ears she was easily able to hear me. She quickly turned to my direction and flashed a wide smile before bitchslapping her friends and walking over to me-
What the fuck?
(A/N: whoops, blooper, let me redo that)
She quickly turned to my direction and flashed a wide smile before walking to join me after telling her friends.
Rumi- "Hey, Arata, you're here."
Arata- "Obviously I'm here, Uncle Roger is cooking today, how can I miss that?"
Rumi- "You really love his food don't you?"
Of course, I do, his egg fried rice is godlike. I once used [Observation] on him and his cooking level was over 90.
Speaking of which…

(A/N: The Mirko from canon has one more move called "Luna Tijeras", but that's a killing move and I think newly graduated Mirko shouldn't have this yet.)
(A/N: EDIT apparently UA teaches killing moves too so I'll just make this school do that too. I added in Tijeras. Thank you FinzRaizer for the suggestion.)
Emotions: Happy, Excited, Indecisive
Observation can see a lot now. I never stopped spamming it, but observing the same thing over and over gives out less and less skill exp, so I don't bother using it on any random wall or rock as they don't give anything anymore.
Finally reaching me, we just stand there and do nothing. Not able to stand the silence, I ask.
Arata- "… What's up?"
Rumi- "Mmm?"
She has that "I don't know what you're talking about" face on again. Gees, this girl.
Smirking a little, I reply.
Arata- "Don't look at me like that, you're feeling a little reluctant about something, right?"
Rumi looked surprised, which turned into a melancholic smile.
Rumi- "Ha, as expected, you always know what I'm thinking, right?"
No, it's not me, it's the almighty [Observation] skill and Gamer ability, but I will gladly take credit.
Rumi- "I'm just a little sad, you know? I have so many memories of this place but… I'll be going soon and I don't know when I'll come back, if ever. A part of me is incredibly happy about finally graduating and fighting the bad guys, but…"
Arata- "Another part of you doesn't want these happy days to stop."
Hearing me, Rumi just looks at the floor and nods.
I know what she's talking about, when I dropped out of school back in my past life I felt this way too. What's going to happen now, how will I live my life from now on? And the biggest question…
Will I make it?
I know, and so, I open my mouth to give the best advice I can think of.
Arata- "… Who cares?"
Rumi looks at me like I'm an idiot.
Arata- "Don't look at me like that. What I mean is, who cares what happens from now on? You won't suddenly forget what you did here, will you? So keep those memories and continue walking forwards. You can also visit from time to time, no one says you can't, so stop worrying so much!"
Looking around at everyone partying about, she gives a relieved smile before smothering me in her boobs with a hug.
Rumi- "Thank you, Arata! Sometimes I wonder if you're actually a kid!"
Ahhh, I really want to enjoy this but the fact she does in this the first place without blinking hurts.
Arata- "Hey, how about this. I'll grow up to be a hero too. I'll join UA, and after the sports festival, if you're lonely, you can request for me during the hero work experience. Deal?"
Rumi- "Deal! I'm looking forward to it!"
Arata- "Say that when you actually make it into the rankings."
[Quest complete, receiving rewards in inventory.]
[Received: USB - AI JARVIS code.]
Oh! An AI! Just what I needed! This will make things much easier.
While focusing on the quest reward, I missed the sharp glint in Rumi's eyes as she hugged me.
Rumi- "Arata you perv."
Arata- "T-TAKE THAT BACK!"
