Chapter 62: In Between Tales (1)

~Third POV~

[UA High School, Girls Locker Room, Japan]

With a Class 1-A win secured and doing a few more hero exercises taking a few wins or loses, the class was soon done for the day. Everyone soon returned to their respective locker rooms, changing…

Meanwhile, in the girl's locker room, they began to discuss themselves changing into their UA uniforms, with Mina being the first to speak as she sighed in a defeated tone, "Ah, that was some intense training, girls. Our class rep seems to be such a kind and charming prince, but in combat, he's a real nightmare."

Kendo agreed, lightly nodding her head, recalling the few traps she encountered in an upbeat tone, "Yeah, he could teleport whenever to deal with us easily. Even with the traps he prepared, it was a pain, but with everyone banding together, it was enough to defeat him. Just goes to show even with many Quirks, teamwork makes the dream work."

They all collectively nodded as Tsuyu spoke as she said apologetically with a defeated sigh escaping her lips, "Ribbit… yeah. Sorry, everyone, I didn't jump high enough to avoid his traps. I still have some work on my jumps, my legs aren't strong enough, ribbit."

Yui soon pointed out in a rare moment for her to speak in long sentences, surprising the girls in a kind tone, "Mn, I don't think that's the case, Tsuyu. You've gone far higher than we were expecting you would need to. Even with the other practices, he got better, and he's as unconventional as an opponent can be."

Kinoko chimes into the conversation with a defeated tone, her arms slumping down, "Yeah. One second, we catch him off guard the next, he brushes it off with electricity or power through them. It would've been a lot tougher if he used his clones through shroom…"

However, that was when Toga looked at Jiro asking in a curious tone, "What are you doing Jiro?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Jiro as she had one of her earphone plugs stuck on the wall and was looking through a hole in the wall. Ochaco, quick to realize, asked in a slightly embarrassed tone, "I-Is she peeking at the boys?"

Momo soon approaches her classmate and criticizes her in a stern tone, "Kyoka, this isn't the proper behavior that a lady should have."

However, Jiro's reply got the girl's attention as she said in a harsh tone, "Shhh! They are talking about us!"

Everyone else shouted comically, "What?!"

Kendo, recalling this event, soon asked, a little unsure and conflicted about her answer, "What? That's… that's their privacy, we should respect it."

Jiro soon heard who they were talking to from the boy's side as she peeked seeing Ren's body in a stunned tone, "But it's about us that they're talking about. I can see the class rep abs… whoa! He's ripped!"

Momo hearing this quickly peeked to the other side, "What? Let me see!"

Some of the girls joined in, peeking through the other end. Yui, Mina, Ochaco, and even Tsuyu peeked from the other end.

They didn't have a full vantage of seeing the other boys, but their faces certainly turned red seeing Ren's body. Compared to the other boys, it was clear who had the good, chiseled body, even among the powerhouses of their class.

Jiro soon asked the girls to move over to listen to their conversation in a curious tone, "Wait let me… aaaah!"

Suddenly, Jiro shouted as if someone had shouted into her as Toru took the opportunity to look through the hole, "What happened?"

Kinoko's eyes widened as she saw through Toru's head with a blush on her face, "Wait, it has been filled!"

Jiro then began to explain as she muttered out loud, holding her ears in a surprised tone, "Aaah… Yuki must've noticed us peaking. I heard a light sound close to the hole, but it was so subtle…"

Momo soon blamed Jiro, her face almost as red as a tomato in an embarrassed tone, "He noticed us? It was your idea! I told you to stop!"

*Swirl*

As the girl's discussion about who to blame continued a portal soon up gaining their attention. They defensively covered themselves only for a small piece of paper to easily fall as the portal closed up.

Yui grabs hold of it as her face blushes beat red as she speaks in a nervous tone written in Ren's handwriting, "H-Hello lovely ladies… did you enjoy the gun show? I know who peeked at my body how will you take responsibility for my love life~ Signed your favorite Class Rep, Ren Yuki. P.S. Just kidding, guys, but Momo will talk about this later~ Peace."

All their faces turned red hearing that comment, with Momo's face turning a bit pale. Except for Toga, as she sighed at her classmate's predicament in a proud tone, she thought, 'Sigh… those poor girls. I get to see the gun show whenever he rails me~'

With this, everything proceeded to go peacefully for the next couple of months ahead, fast-forwarding to the upcoming exams. But during between the exams, other events were occurring in between tales behind the scenes…

[One Week Later, After School, UA High School, Japan]

One week passed, and as class ended, Toru went to the bathroom as she was coming back to collect her items, till she saw something. Turning off her S-Belt and returning to her normal invisibility again, she saw Ren and Momo were talking about something.

From around the hall, fortunately, with Ren's head behind her, she got close to them and easedropped into their conversation with Momo saying in a neutral tone, "I don't know any normal place where we could meet up."

With a small smile on Ren's face, he spoke in a confident tone, causing Momo's face to be red when recalling the girl's locker room a month ago, "I know just the place. The Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall in Tokyo. It's a bit out there, but it's a secluded place for us privately to discuss some topics. I still haven't discussed you peeking at me, Momo-chan?"

Momo looked a bit nervous but curtly nodded her head as she spoke in a determined tone, understanding she evaded his body, "Sure, it was still my fault I allowed it to happen. I'll let my rider driver come pick you up tomorrow. Hopefully, you'll allow me to apologize for gazing at your… body. Gulp."

Ren merely patted her head as she looked happily in bliss from a simple pat to her head. They soon both left, discussing other topics, with Toru's eyes widening at the scene, feeling somewhat conflicted.

But soon she sucked in her confliction as she began to open her phone. When Ren became the Class Rep of the classroom he had suggested that all of Class 1-A make a group chat online where they could chat together.

Having selected the phone numbers of all the members of the classroom and notified them about what was happening. She soon texted down if any would be interested in stalking them for their date showing a picture of them together.

She waited a bit till she got some replies. Almost all of them were from her classmates.

[Toru: Hey guys, anyone up to stalking Momo and Ren at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall in Tokyo? Answer if you guys are up for it?]

[Yuga: Nope. I'm too busy.]

[Mina: Oh… the time has come for him to play, huh? I'm in!]

[Tsuyu: Sure *Frog emoji*]

[Ochaco: Y-Yeah! I wanna hear what they're talking about! *Worried emoji*]

[Itsuka: It seems rude but if his forcing her I'm in. *Angry emoji*]

[Denki: Oh? Our fearless leader is making his move already! Damn it why tomorrow I'm busy that day!]

[Kirishima: Nah. As much as it would be cool to see don't wanna be a stalker and ruin the bro code I'm out.]

[Toga: Is that so? Say no more I'm in.]

[Kinoko: Yeah! I wanna see where this goes… *Mushroom emoji*]

[Yui: Yes. We'll catch the pervert *Cold emoji*]

[Jiro: Sigh… guess I gotta do this again. I'm way too curious to see what he does.]

[Sero: A secret page of the Class Rep life? Shame I have something to do that day but good luck on your guy's mission! *Excited emoji*]

[Tokoyami: Pass. *Emo emoji*]

[Shoto: Pass as well.]

[Bakugo: Go fuck yourself! *Explosion emoji*]

[Shinso: Sorry, but nope. I'm not that interested, and I'm busy. *Tired emoji*]

Toru simply blinked, looking at the messages as she got her things from class. She pondered out loud, blinking in a curious tone, "Does every girl in Class 1-A have a thing for the class rep? Seems like only the girls are interested… I wonder if he has room for me – back! No Toru! You are a strong and independent girl! But those abs though…"

Toru shook her head, getting her dirty mind out of the gutter. Eventually, the only ones that came were Jiro, Kinoko, herself, Tsuyu, Ochaco, Itsuka, Toga, Kinoko, and Yui for the next day.

[Next Day, Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall, Tokyo, Japan]

In the end, only Jiro, Kinoko, Toru, Tsuyu, Ochaco, Itsuka, Toga, Kinoko, and Yui came for today as they stealthily followed them. As they did so they saw Momo arrive early and eventually, Ren arrived on time.

The girls looked intently as Ochaco blushed, seeing Momo and Ren talking and genuinely smiling together. Soon enough, Jiro stabs her earphone jacks into the ground to listen to the conversation Momo and Ren are having and then must explain to the others what they are saying.

On the other side, Ren was laughing with Momo about something some joke he made as he explained in a calm tone, "Did you hear about the octopus that held up a convenience store? It was an armed robbery."

Momo laughed, understanding the joke as she spoke in a kind tone, "Haha… It's hard to imagine the Ren Yuki being any less than perfect."

Ren's smile turned a little sour but soon replied with a sheepish expression in a nonchalant tone, "I'm nowhere near perfect. You guys are prime examples during the rescue exercise with All Might. It was quite humbling for me to be better at becoming a hero in the making trying to be better."

Momo nodded her head, recalling the exercise a month ago, she replied in a chipper tone as they sat at one of the tables in the mall, "I can tell. Out of the rescue exercises, you certainly got better at handling your Quirks against people and handling us. Eventually, you got to the point where you handled us easily if we were one by one. But if teamed together, we can certainly overpower you if we try our best."

Ren nodded his head as the class of 1-A progressed in their way. But soon, he sighed as he spoke in a tired tone, "Sigh… at times like that, it makes me wonder if you guys didn't have me around what would've you guys done during the USJ incident. It makes me wonder if I'm good enough…"

Momo also became unsure of what to say, seeing something troubling Ren as she simply said, lending an ear, "We can talk about it. It seems like something is eating you up you can explain it to me. I'm your vice rep you can trust me."

Ren just had a questioning look but soon developed a kind smile in a soft tone and said thankfully, "Is that so… well, I don't want to be a problem, but with Ochaco sharing her story with me and everyone knowing, I suppose I'll share on my end. It all began when…"

With that, Ren began to speak up, discussing his origin story and leaving out some key details to Momo. But even then, he was aware that the girls of Class 1-A were listening, smelling their scent making himself seem approachable...
