Chapter 45

Title: Realization...

….

BOOOM!!!

As the explosion suddenly covers them all, Kaminari activates his ability in a split second. Pushing all of the others out of the way, while he himself not getting out of the way. While he does all of this he can't help but think. 'Future knowledge for the win.'

He feels a body hit him, and a soft feeling on his chest as he is pushed to the ground by the explosion. 

When the dust clears Kaminari finds Mei lying on top of him. He has a gentle smile on his face as he asks. "Are you okay?"

The others are shocked as they are shocked by Mei's exposed cleavage getting close to Kaminari's face. The latter doesn't seem to mind at all and seems more concerned with Mei's wellbeing.

"Sorry, sorry." Says Mei hurriedly as she gets up and looks at Kaminari. "Oh, I remember you! You were the Sport's Festival winner. Your name was… uhhh… sorry, totally forgot your name."

Kaminari seems not bothered by this and gets off the ground. "No need to feel bad. My name is Kaminari Denki, these are Izuku, Ochako, and Tenya."

He introduces everyone else that was with him. Mei nods at this. "Nice meeting you all. My name is Mei, hope I get along with ya."

Izuku blushes at this, finding Mei to be a very cheerful and nice girl. Plus the revealing tank top doesn't help his embarrassment at all.

Mei doesn't notice any of this as she walks away to continue developing her babies. 

"Babies?" Asks Kaminari, 'confused' by this. Though he already knew everything about this, he gives it his maximum effort to hide any indications of knowing the future. That is his biggest weapon that he has, not just the events, he doesn't mind if they change. But just knowing his enemies' powers is priceless. 

"Yep, babies!" Confirms Mei enthusiastically.

"Okay…" Kaminari says, appearing weirded out by the situation a little. "Anyway, we are here for some costume upgrades."

This makes Mei turn around and excitingly approaches Kaminari. "Really!!! What do you want?!!"

Kaminari puts his hands on her shoulders and makes her distance a little. "Too close."

Mei seems confused by this. Not understanding the social norms at all. 

That is when Power Loader appears. He comes out of the Development Studio room and looks at Mei being overly affectionate with a stranger. This causes him to sigh. Mei is talented, but her social understanding is zero. 

"Oy, Mei, don't bother them. Also… you had another explosion!" He is a little annoyed at this. 

"Tehe~" Mei just makes a cute face and put out her tongue. 

"Don't 'Tehe' me!!" This annoys Power Loader even more.

Kaminari and the others feel like they are witnessing a weird moment, one which they can't interfere with at all.

…

But after a couple of minutes of him reprimanding Mei, he finally addresses Kaminari, Izuku, Tenya, and Ochako. "Oh, sorry you had to witness that. Come on in now."

They awkwardly enter the Development Studio, and as Izuku explains what he wishes for his upgrade, Mei forces him to try out a powered suit she made.

The suit twists Izuku's body around as its operating limits were not programmed correctly

'He is a pushover.' Thinks Kaminari, seeing Izuku being pushed over by Mei to try the different machines that are untested. 'Izuku will never be able to make people believe in him if he is such a pushover.'

Though he contemplates that, he doesn't plan to help Midoriya. After all, confidence gained by someone else's interference is a fake one.

Mei continues to cause trouble for the three students as she gives Tenya arm engines, sending him into the ceiling. 

'Okay, maybe every one of the males in our class is a pushover.' Concludes Kaminari.

"Hey, Denki, do you want to try this new machine?" Mei asks Kaminari, showing him some bracelets. He just shakes his head at that, no way he is trying anything that she makes and is untested.

"No, thanks. I don't want to end up like him." He says while pointing at Tenya, who is still on the ceiling due to his hand propeller gear.

"Uh, that… was intentional. Yeah totally intentional." Argues Mei, even though her expression shows that even she is unsure. Kaminari doesn't hide his uncertainty at this. But she still sticks to her point. "Yeah, Engine Boy can now run with his arms while his legs cool off. It is a 100% effective product."

"I don't know about that. It could be more effective." Counters Kaminari. "Like a cooling system in his leg gear."

As they were talking about this, Izuku looked at his hand which has numerous scars from using One For All. Suddenly his eyes widened in shock as if a lightning bolt hit him.

Power Loader apologizes for Mei's self-centered temperament but also explains to the students that she is an especially talented engineer who will likely help them in their later Pro Hero careers.

Ochaco mentions she would like a costume upgrade to better control nausea caused by her Quirk.

BOOOM!!

But not before Mei can cause another explosion with another one of her inventions.

….

Four days later, Mineta and Izuku are resting on the training grounds while looking at the others' training.

"So upgrades did you put on your suit?" Asks Mineta.

"Just some basic designs, also the soles of my boots are metallic now." Answers Izuku, while thinking about Mei's excitement as she helped him. He didn't mind getting attention from a girl, but he gets chills every time he thinks of Mei… chills of fear that is. He tested so many pieces of equipment on him.

"What about a cosmetic change?" Mentions Mineta, Izuku's Hero Costume isn't that… connected to the latest fashion sense.

"Nah, I am not gonna change the base too much." Says Izuku, a smile appears on his face as he thinks of it. "Because my mother designed this costume for me."

At this time, Fumikage shows off his ultimate move to Midnight, which involves Dark Shadow enveloping him like armor to compensate for his weaknesses in close range combat. 

Katsuki also shows off his new ultimate move, AP Shot, in which he focuses his explosive power on a smaller surface area, allowing it to penetrate a thick concrete wall. 

A piece of the wall Katsuki just broke through crumbles off and falls towards All Might. Katsuki and Shota warn All Might, but Izuku jumps out with One For All: Full Cowl activated. Izuku destroys the falling wall with a single kick, showing off a new move, which he names "One For All: Full Cowl - Shoot Style". As Katsuki and Shota look on in surprise, All Might smiles at Izuku in approval.

"Woah, that a new fighting style? The first time I see you fight with anything else than your fists!"  Eijiro commends Izuku on his new moves and is surprised by his new fighting style.

Kaminari looks at this with a strange look in his eyes that no one else except Momo notices. That look only lasted for a couple of seconds but it brought Momo chills on her spine. 'What was that feeling?' Wonders Momo, but she dismissed it as she goes back to training.

"Yeah, it is thanks to the new soles I got from the support department." Explains Izuku. "Though, Shoot Style isn't quite a super move."

"Still, it is a step in the right direction." Says All Might in his deflated form. A proud smile on his face.

"Oy, you shouldn't get so close to his place it is dangerous." Aizawa warns All Might to stay a safe distance away from the training session to avoid having All Might reveal his real identity to protect himself. 

"Oh, okay." Says All Might before turning towards Bakugo. "Also, sorry, my fault for getting too close to a dangerous area. Not your fault."

"Yeah…" Says Bakugo as he looks at the skeleton-like man in front of him. "Be more careful next time."

Suddenly Bakugo's eyes widen, an almost impossible idea appearing on his head. He then looks at Kaminari. 'He should know something about this.'

But seeing Kaminari training, he doesn't interrupt his training and just decides to go cool off.

Izuku also notices that Kaminari and Eijiro both have new costume upgrades as well. 

"Eijiro, you also got new upgrades?" Asks Izuku, curious about what he could have gotten. After all, it might give some ideas to him too.

Eijiro smirks at that. "Heh, you have no idea-"

He gets excited about his new style, but he's interrupted by the arrival of Vlad King and Class 1-B. Neito taunts Class 1-A as usual. "Sup, 1-A Trash, we are gonna destroy your class in the-"

But Neiro too is interrupted as Aizawa says. "Class 1-A and 1-B will not compete against each other in the Provisional Hero Licence Exam."

Aizawa then goes on to explain that most of the participants in the exam will not be first-year students either and will have more experience than Class 1-A.

….

-Kaminari POV-

As the training class passes, I go change and immediately out of my changing room see Bakugo waiting for me. He looks at me intently, seems like he has something to say. But I break the moment by saying. "You know, waiting for me out of the changing room, and after that staring at me so intensely can give people the wrong idea. If it isn't the wrong idea, then no thank you, I don't swing that way."

*sigh* Bakugo sighs at this in annoyance, knowing that getting in an argument with me is pointless as I will just spin things around and make the situation worse for him. "Annoying as always."

I smirk at that. "Yep, so what did you need me for?"

I and him start walking towards the dorm when he narrows his eyes. "That Toshinori Yagi, doesn't he remind you of someone?"

"You mean All Might." I tell him. Immediately that gets his attention as he nods slightly. Then I continue. "After you find out All Might's Quirk, maybe then you will figure out what is going on. Of course, even I only have assumptions till now. Though some of them have already been verified."

He nods at that too. I and Bakugo don't have a bad relationship. We did fight villains together, so that makes him put up with my personality, which is 99.9% of the time joking around.

That is when Bakugo out of now nowhere says. "Kaminari, fight me."

That stops me in my tracks as I look at him with a serious look on my face.

A/N: The MC used his future knowledge to have Mei land on him...😐...
