Chapter 55: UA High (1)
—
Momo walked back to Neji, almost hugging him in ecstasy, though she did stop before that could happen, she didn’t want to give others weird ideas. They weren’t dating, after all.
Only when she stood beside him did he murmur “Congrats”. She curled her lips up as he started to compliment her.
Midway to his compliments, some girls approached them.
“I am Mina, nice to meet you!”
“And I am Itsuka Kendo, I was going to say how great you did in the match! I was at the edge of the seat the whole time! I for one am very scared since my quirk is hand-related, and in this game, using hands is forbidden.”
Momo smiled awkwardly and gave Neji a look from the corner of her eyes, Neji just shrugged and waved her off, taking a walk to the boys and standing beside Denki Kaminari, instead.
He didn’t want to restrict Momo from making friends just because of him. Well, at least as long as the ‘friends’ aren’t weird.
It was when Aizawa declared the next match. Hanta Sero vs Tsuyu Asui. Neji was starting to see why Aizawa said there won’t be any unfairness.
For example, in this new match, Hanta has a useful quirk that can restrain anyone, but in this case, since using Quirks on the opponent is banned, he’d instead use it on the football. However, along with Tsuyu’s frog reflexes and her long tongue, she would be able to counter this easily.
It wasn’t perfect, of course, but it was as perfect as it could be based on the context of the characters. While Sero and Tsuyu walked to the field, Neji heard a ‘Psst!’ calling him.
Turning to his left, he met Kaminari who looked at him with a smile.
“Hey man, is that… Yaoyorozu girl, your girlfriend?”
Neji almost raised an eyebrow before shrugging and focusing on the match. “We are close, but we haven’t started dating yet.”
They weren’t dating. There was a reason for that. A… very concerning one.
Before Kaminari could have any weird ideas, Neji cleared.
“Don’t try pursuing her though.” He gave him a small smile. “Accidents are normal, after all.”
“Err… o-okay.”
Kaminari couldn’t tell what he meant by this, but he had a bad feeling, so he just swiftly turned his gaze forward. Even without Neji saying it, Kaminari could see they were very close, so he wasn’t going to pursue her anyway. Kaminari liked girls, but he wasn’t into stealing others’ girls.
Well, all of this is considering he could even come close to stealing someone who Neji was going after.

The next matches went smoothly. Todoroki went against Bakugo, shit was weird, but it ended with Bakugo winning.
Todoroki had obstructed his goalpost with ice, but Bakugo easily broke it with his explosions. Todoroki was able to score 3 goals, by the time Bakugo did 5. Mr. Icy-hot could have done better, truthfully, but from what I understood he never played such games before. Poor cunt.
Also, some people were exempt from the ‘No Hands’ rule. For example, Uraraka couldn’t start her quirk without using her hands, and Itsuka Kendo’s quirk is basically her hands. It truly seems Aizawa has done his research, he’s a good teacher.
Oh, and unlike how people would think the others would call it unfair, they were completely chill with it, after all, even if they were teens, they were at the top of this country, they were more mature than most.
Anyway, this was the 19th match, Toru Hagakure vs Ochako Uraraka.
“Another perfect match…” I mumbled while wearing sunglasses… for reasons.
Uraraka can goal super easily just after touching the ball once since a light kick can throw the gravity-less ball to space. Yet, she couldn’t just carelessly kick it either, since she has no idea where her opponent is. For all she knew, Toru might be standing right in front of the ball, thus if she throws the ball there, it’d be blocked by her.
This was an interesting match for me, not because of the premise… but because of what I was seeing with <Eyes of the Lord>.
I looked forward as Toru ran with the ball on her legs, kicking it slowly with a sweaty face. Her small perky boobs jumped up and down as my eyes followed their movement fixedly. A trail of sweat dripped down between her cleavage until it fell inside her navel.
Yes, I could see the invisible girl.
