Chapter 57 - Chapter 55; “Dreambinder”

In the end it wasn't as bad as Laito was predicting.

First he had a meeting with the teachers before he was to attend any classes.

Not only that: he wasn't even assigned to any class yet!

For now they just gave him a lot of tests to properly measure up his current knowledge on necessary subjects.

Math, sciences, history… he basically aced them all.

Not only because he was way "smarter" thanks to the multitude of buffs he had on himself…

But also because whenever he was unsure of anything, he just used Steve to research the answers on the internet.

Was it cheating?

Maybe…

But did he get caught?

No.

So Laito aced everything.

Even Language Study!

Actually, it was the easiest one.

Thanks to the Nightmare Spell and its auto-interpret function.

With that outcome the teachers were more than glad to give him a lot of free time to "manage his quirk".

But there was a catch. A few even.

Laito still had to appear in the class at least sometimes…

And he had to explain what his quirk actually was on the way that made at least a bit of sense.

It was a good occasion to get his updated "quirk" on the record in a relatively safe environment.

So weaved some story filled with blatant lies, some half-truths and even a tiny smidgeon of truth.

The teachers were quite shocked at what they heard, but had no way nor reason to think he was bullshitting.

"That's a very dangerous quirk, Yogami-kun… and a very strong one for someone your age. I have to ask you to never summon something dangerous within the confines of the school. Even though you are just a child, it's always possible to lose control over your own quirk and accidentally hurt someone. And nobody would want that to happen. Understood?"

The teacher who examined Laito gave some basic instructions regarding his quirk usage(or lack of thereoff) after he dismissed the still sheathed S-WORD that he had used to give an example of what he could do.

Laito was given a class schedule with instruction to maintain at least the acceptable levels of attendance frequency.

Laito glanced at the papers he received.

'Class 3… Lessons begin after 8 am… I used to have watches on the castle walls in the middle of the night, so being ready won't be a problem…, but I will have to go through that awkward "student introduction". I am seriously starting to ask myself if it is worth it.' Laito sighed internally at the actions he has to take to be a part of society.

After that he had to wait a bit until the morning homeroom meeting began at which Laito was to be introduced.

Initially, the thought of a room full of people staring at him and expecting some sort of performance so that he could seem like a "cool guy" was freaking Laito out.

That was until he actually entered the classroom.

The moment he actually stood there and looked back at the more or less 30 kids staring at him with varying degrees of interest he realized…

'I don't really give a fuck.' Laito thought.

He introduced himself using the dry, common script he remembered from some random school slice-of-life anime.

Laito at that point just wanted to avoid attracting attention and to be left mostly alone.

It almost worked.

Almost.

When he dryly said his name, one of his likes and dislikes, and his goal(absolutely cliche within that society) of becoming a hero, he could see in real life any sort of interest draining rapidly from the eyes of his classmates-to-be.

But it was a world of quirks. And in such the obvious question that they had to ask was:

"Hey hey! Cut the crap and tell us what your quirk is! You look so normal it's hard to tell!" Some guy with lizard-like eyes interrupted Laito as he was about to go and take a seat.

Laito froze mid-step and glanced sideways at the teacher who just sighted and just waved her hand for him to tell but not show.

So Laito took step back and scratched his head.

"Err… so basically my quirk is called "Dreambinder" and it lets me manifest things from my dreams… More or less" He bullshitted out of his ass.

There were a few seconds of silence…

And then in an instant the entire class erupted with a chorus of loud questions.

"Woa! Can you manifest ANYTHING!!! from your dreams?!?"

"What? How does that work?"

"Show us! Show us!"

"Can you make something manly?!?"

"Have you ever dreamt of a dragon?!? Summon a dragon! I wanna see a real dragon!"

"Manifest a bento! Im hungryy!!"

Laito was basically drowned in random chatter from excited kids.

" THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" The homeroom teacher gracefully calmed the children with a gentle slap on her desk.

"Any more questions for Yogami-kun will wait until break! Yogami-kun please take your seat and we are moving forward" She commanded and Laito did as he was told.

As he took his seat at the back of the class(the only available one) he shuddered internally thinking about all these potentially troublesome questions.

'Really? A dragon? What about Ryukyu? I actually have met one, but to get an Echo I would have to kill him and then hope for luck… not happening, that thing could easily snuff out a Soveregn!'

'Wait… "make something manly"?' Laito noticed and subtly looked around the class.

He didn't have [Keen Sight] anymore as it turned into the [Guardian's Sight] that only worked with his ball form, so he had to wear glasses again.

But Laito managed to confirm his suspicion even with his current poor vision.

'Yup. Although he still has black hair I think that guy might be Kirishima… What a small world we live in aren't we?' Laito noticed that one of his classmates was indeed also a person from the main cast of My Hero Academia show.

The classes continued and half of Laito's attention was on it…

The other half was with Steve, who after getting over with the task of "assisting" Laito during his examinations… returned to his much more important mission…

The dove tried to sneak into the U.A. School.

One of, if not the most secure places in the country.

More precisely, into its principal office.
