Rumi’s Birthday

It's already been six years since that day. Rumi is now sixteen years old, and we want to celebrate her birthday with her friends today. She is in her second year of U.A..

The distance is no problem. I pick Rumi up every day with a teleport, so she still lives here.

She didn't attend U.A. in the original, most likely because the distance was too big for her to cross every day.

I offered to pick her up every day, and she instantly agreed. Every young person who dreams of becoming a hero wants to go to the U.A. it's like a dream for every future hero to be.

I teleported to our meeting place and waited for her and her friends. The meeting place had a one-kilometer distance from the U.A. and was part of a little park.

After ten minutes then, I saw a rabbit and three other people walking towards me.

When Rumi saw me, she instantly jumped at me and hugged me in front of her three friends that she brought with her.

Her friends looked a bit weird at me.

"Is he the one you talk about the whole time?" said one beautiful girl with pink hair.

She smiled at me and introduced herself and the other two. The other two were both guys that looked a bit odd at me. What's wrong with them?

I completely ignored their introductions. I don't know them from the series, so I don't care that much about them.

"It's also nice to meet you. My name is Noah Light. I will bring you to her house for today." I said with a warm smile on my face. It would not be that good to offend her friends, even if I don't care about them.

The two guys still stared at me with angry-looking faces.

Wait, do they like Rumi?

That would be problematic. I also started to like Rumi in the years we were together.

Would she still want an older man like me? I am immortal, so there is no problem, is there?

Well, that is a problem for later.

"Okay. I will teleport us now, so don't worry about the place change." I said while at the next moment I started the teleportation.

One second later, we arrived in Rumi's house with her parents sitting on the couch.

Sora and Azumi were a bit surprised as we just popped out of nowhere in front of them.

"Here we are. Welcome."

I said at them while the girl looked at me with admiration and the two guys with a growing rage. No joke, what is wrong with them? They are so annoying. Why is Rumi even friends with these guys?

It was a bit weird, but okay.

We started the small party and talked a bit with each other. They are still too young for alcohol, so there was not much to do.

The girl chatted normally with me, and the two guys just talked about the typical young master shit.

It seems like they are the sons of some influential people. They did not talk like everyone else. Not even like a decent human being.

No, there screamed their names and titles so that even Rumi's father and mother could hear them.

The parent pair just looked at them with a weird look and asked themselves what that shit show is.

After eating the prepared food, we also did the typical Birthday things, like presenting a cake with sixteen candles.

Rumi blew out the candles, and we sang for her the Happy Birthday song. Well, I sang with Rumi's parents, while the other three looked at me with a strange and shell-shocked look since my singing voice was too good.

It even tops the celebrities with music quirks, which was a bit surprising for them.

The two young masters, of course, were offended, but the girl liked it very much, and her admiration for me got stronger by the second.

Not that I would care too much about her.

"So now let's unpack the gifts!" said one of the young masters.

"Shit. I already know how that will end." I said while Rumi and her parents smiled.

They all knew about my weird preferences for Chinese novels, so they also read some of them.

Of course, it also hooked them, especially Rumi, who is a battle maniac.

Sometimes I ask myself if it was a good move to introduce them to this culture.

"Alright, who wants to go first?" asked Rumi with a slight smile that also anticipated that scene.

"Of course me!"

Surprisingly the girl called out first. She reached out to her backpack and gave Rumi her present.

"Hopefully, you like it!" She said enthusiastically.

Unpacking, she found some small figure of what seems to be a self-made Rabbit plushie. It was a completely white small rabbit.

"You know my situation, so that's all I can give you. Sorry for that." She said while scratching the back of her head nervously.

"Don't worry about it! It's a good present, thank you very much. I love it." she said with a smile.

"Okay. Now that this is done, let's come to my present for you!" One of the guys said while gathering some evil eyes because he ruined the mood.

"Here it is the perfect present for you. Of course, it was collected by one of the expeditions of my father. You know the archaeology hero. Yes, my father, one of the top 30 heroes in Japan. Of course, you know him. Who doesn't," He said while trying to strike a handsome pose.

I wanted to raise my hand that I don't know him, but that would only be the perfect excuse for him to send his father to teach me a lesson.

Like in the good shit I read when I was in the hospital.

After I beat up the father, it will continue with the father's father until all generations of the father's fathers are done, and I can finally rest until the long-lost ancestor of the family strikes.

Yeah, that is some weird thought I have there.

The other random guy that Rumi brought was astonished by the guy's speech, while the other people present just looked at him like he was a joke. To be precise a perfect show for the new Chinese novel lovers.

"Here it is!" he said after giving her some weird packaged box.

She opened it and saw some ugly-looking bracelet. She looked a bit stunned at it and wondered what is so good about it.

I knew what is so good about it, but it was trash in my eyes.

There was some lingering spiritual qi embedded in it, but it was such a low grade that it at most could make a bullet drop.

"I know what you think, but hold on! This bracelet is an artifact out of old times that can stop a bullet. If you are lucky and get a good one, it could even stop ten. I know it is unbelievable, but in the older times, some people on earth could handle so-called spiritual qi. These people were even stronger than quirk users in some cases. The methods to become a so-called "Cultivator" as they were called are sadly unknown to this day….."

The two people that Rumi brought were surprised. Still, the Usagiyama family just looked at them and asked what such an item could even do in front of Noah's.

He talked and talked more and more shit until Rumi turned to me with a wry smile.

"Give it back. I don't know. It's completely useless trash that could at most hold one bullet. With your speed, there is no problem dodging that one bullet that this thing would hold on."

"What are you talking about, you trash! Do you know who my father is!" He wanted to talk more, but Rumi just gave him his present back with a smile and said.

"Well, if he says so sorry, but I don't need useless trash, but thanks for the try." She said with a mocking smile.

He looked at me like I killed his cat and swore to revenge for this humiliation.

At the same time, the Usagiyama family and I tried not to start laughing out loud.

There was some suppressed laughter here and there, but no one of the guests knew what there were laughing about.

While that scene played, the next young master showed himself and challenged me to a duel.

With his smug look that he only directs at me, he gave out his present to her. Yeah, he not even looked at her, just at me like he would give this present to me to have.

Rumi also wondered what is wrong with his brain but still accepted the gift.

"Well, you should already know that my dad is under the Top 10 in the Japanese rankings! One of his sponsors is a car brand and gave him this car as a present. He said that when I found someone I like, I should give her the car, and she would hop into my arms. So here it is, feel honored to be selected as girlfriend for the great me!" said the guy.

Everyone in the room looked shocked. What the fuck is wrong with this guy's brain.

Rumi couldn't hold herself anymore and started to laugh out loud.

She turned to me and said.

"Haha, I knew you liked these Chinese Novels with young masters. That is the reason why I invited these two guys. Surprise." said Rumi with a mischievous smile on her face.

"I know you also like them, so don't say that so innocently," I stated with a wry smile, while she blushed a bit what completely shocked the three friends of her. Something like that never happened.

The mischievous, tough Rumi blushed. Nobody in the class would even try to believe something like that and would instantly label it as a lie.

Even the two young masters forgot to be offended by her words and looked at her infatuated.

But soon, the young master that wanted to give her a car started to yell.

"So you only invited me for such a reason! Do you know who my father is! I will immediately call him so that he can come here and teach you a lesson." He said, to me?

Why would he say that to me? Is he for real?

"HAHAHA, Noah, you are right. I love it," said Rumi while laughing.

Well, at least she is having her fun.

"Alright, so what is your gift, you piece of garbage. What would even a nobody like you gift that could top the great me? If it is worse than me, then that means Rumi will call me her new boyfriend by tomorrow. I also contacted my father, and he will come here immediately! Just wait for two hours, and you will get your lesson!" Young master number two said with a provoking smile.

"Say Rumi, is he for real, or does he have brain damage?" I asked with a worried look on my face.

"I think he is for real. I am a bit shocked that these scenes also happens in real life. But what is a top ten for you, so who cares." said Rumi nonchalantly, what shocked her pink-haired friend.

She knew that Rumi always speaks her mind, and if she says that there would be no problem, there wouldn't be any. How strong is that white hair guy? She asked herself.

"Well, I don't care anymore. It's your birthday, so if you want me to trash someone's father, it's okay. Never mind that, here is your present." I said with a smile.

"I even made it myself," I added with a proud smile.

"Huh. Made it yourself hahahahah" with a crazy look on their faces, the two young masters started to laugh.

Not knowing that they are offending everyone in this room, even the pink-haired girl who gave something self-made.

"Something made from you. That must be a pretty nice thing, huh." Rumi smiled while she unpacked it and found a book in it. She stared at the book with wide-opened eyes.

The young masters laugh, while at the same time, the Usagiyama family all had shocked looks on their faces. Noah already said to them that he doesn't have any quirk and only cultivates spiritual qi.

At the same time, the pink-haired girl saw the shocked look on the Usagiyama family's faces and looked curious about the book.

"Oh, I enchanted it that only you can see the content. It wouldn't be good if anyone found something like this."

I said to her.

Rumi still looked a bit shocked and asked with a small uncharacteristic voice.

"Is that actually what I think it is?"

She even started to tear up a bit in the eyes of the shocked guest.

I just smiled lovingly and nodded.

"Well, I am happy for you, Rumi. Now you can follow him, I guess. Is that why you gift her something like this, Noah?" Azumi asked Noah with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"I guess. It should be obvious. Of course, only if Rumi wants to. Even if you decline, I will not take it back, so don't worry." I said while scratching the back of my head because I got nervous.

"Haha, that is the first time I see you nervous in the twenty-six years we knew each other," said Sora to the now flustered Noah.

""" Twenty-six years?""" Asked the guests, a bit stunned.

"So, do you want to, or should I still give you some time, Rumi?" I asked her with a nervous voice and smile.
