My Pokemon Hero Academia

Chapter 31: A Battle to Kill Time

To be honest, (Name) couldn't wait until the break was over. She told her brother that she'd be right back, but she realized that was a lie.

Why?

Well, it's the doing of an overly excited fan. And when she said, "overly," it wasn't something she could just brush off. She was there, standing as the fan yapped over so loud that (Name) couldn't think.

"Wow, I can't believe that I'm facing the (Name)," the fan squealed. "You're so much prettier up close... Uwa, I want to shake your hand- no, autograph, no a selfie- I can't choose!" Then the fan continued to squeal again.

(Name) sweat dropped. Talk about overly excited, she thought. She really wanted to get going to get some water- her throat was as dry as dust after cheering- hey, everyone's got a limit. She forced a smile. "Um, I really have to go somewhere, so-"

"-soo, a photo?" the fan finished.

(Name) blinked with a deadpanning stare. "What, no- I need to go somewhere-"

"Nah, people will think it's a fake," the fan doubted themselves. "Maybe a handshake? No, it'll only last so much. What do you think-"

"CAN I JUST GO? YOU'RE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!" (Name) roared with rage. At that moment, the fan felt something crawling up their skin, and the once-overly excited person went silent. Did their idol do something? Something was onto them...

A buzzing sound was heard by the fan. It seemed that (Name) couldn't hear it, but the fan heard it. A buzzing sound of flapping wings of a bee. Not just any bee, though. There was a whole swarm of them, and they were Africanized bees, or killer bees. The insects surrounded the fan, and somehow, he felt like he was going to die.

Luckily, the fan was brought back to reality when (Name) said, "So let me get a drink of water, okay?"

The fan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't move his legs. Was that...? Could've that been (Name)'s presence? Whatever it was...

He wanted (Name) to yell at him again.

"(NAME)-SAMA!" he shouted, halting (Name) in her tracks.

With irk mark and forced smile, she said with a restrained voice, "Yes?" When she felt a pair of eyes on her, she opened her eyes to see two bright yellow ones staring right back at hers with determination. No one needed to say anything to know what it meant.

"I... I would like to challenge you!" the fan said, pulling out a Poke Ball.

(Name) froze on the spot. Wow, he did not know anything, did he? She let out that forced smile, trying not to laugh. "Well, you see, um, we kind of need... permission right now," she explained. "But..." She tied up her hair to a ponytail at a medium degree. "Of course I will! I would like to accept that challenge!"

(Name) fact 1:

When she's challenged to a battle, she ties her hair. Depending on the situation, she ties her hair up high, low, or medium. Medium means that she found the battle unexpected.

The fan was silent for a moment before taking out his phone and taking photos of (Name). "Oh, wow, (Name) just tied up her hair to the 'Unexpected Battle' degree," he observed. "And she accepted my request!" He continued to fanboy over what (Name) did, making her sweat drop once again.

This guy somehow is like Izuku-san, but a whole lot worse. She had her thoughts hidden for a bit.

"But, um, I have let the U.A. faculty know," (Name) began, "so could you wait here for a moment?" The fan eagerly nodded as she walked away. At least that way was the way to the water fountain. Score. What was an even better score was the fact that she bumped into the Blood Hero: Vlad King.
