A random NPC | BNHA

Chapter 7

Thanks for reading!

"Now that we got that over and done with, it is time to get you home unless you have any questions?"

"I don't have any questions, so I suppose I will go home now."

"By the way, just a heads up, maybe you may receive a letter from me soon since you will need to meet the other snipers. Also, you should lock up or burn the letter I gave you before, since this stays confidential between us for now."

"Ok."

Rider got me home safely without being seen by any people. Now it is time for me to go to sleep to make it more convincing to my family that I slept the whole night through.

~

The alarm blared and that awoke me from my slumber. I ate breakfast more like shoving toast down my throat, then left home to go to school.

On my way to school, I saw some slime consuming(?) a blond boy. I was trying to walk through the crowd when the sight of a boy whose hair resembled a broccoli running up to the slime and trying to save the other boy startled me. He looked so desperate, his morales are way better than mine, a true hero compared to all the heroes and people just standing around just because their powers aren't compatible to fight the slime.

I realised that I would be late if I don't start walking due to all this crowd, I sped up and arrived school.

~

I heard my classmates talking about the slime accident this morning, and apparently All Might later came, defeated the slime and successfully saved the blond boy. It was said that the blond boy was praised for his bravery while the broccoli boy was scolded for his recklessness. I do agree that he was reckless but at least he tried doing something compared to the heroes. Not that I am better than them, I stood there as well and didn't help the blond boy due to my cowardice and my stone like emotions.

I got back my essay from a few days ago, the teacher's feedback for mine is just that I did everything right grammatically, while the classmates who wrote about being future heroes got more praise than I did. Oh well, this world is biased anyways. I got a decent mark as well for my bad Japanese, well it is better than nothing, I will take it.

I ate lunch alone, vacuuming up the food like Kirby and started drawing the hero Hawks, he just looks cool with his red wings, that's why I am drawing him. His potential postures are fun as well, very great practice for a person like me who can't draw people in positions other than standing.

That's when Mizuno Aoi slammed open the door to my classroom and skipped in to drag me to the rooftops. I decided to just let her drag me away, she doesn't present any ill will anyways.

I asked her what she is doing and she just sped up and said that the picnic gang is meeting up and I am the only missing member of the "picnic trinity".

Seeing her reminds me of her brother as they resemble each other in their appearance, which makes me wonder when I will receive the letter from Rider or Mizuno's brother. Oh well, I can't control them anyways, I will have to wait it out, so basically no use worrying.

We arrived and I saw Shinso drinking a carton of strawberry milk, basically looking bored and aimless. I snorted at the sight of how his hair gets constantly messed up from the wind.

Mizuno waved dramatically and exclaimed "Finally the Picnic trinity is complete."

Shinso and I said at the same time "So why did you drag us here?" We looked at each other for a sec and then looked away.

Mizuno said that she needs people to hang out with, so her brother wouldn't be so concerned for her well being.

"Same." Said Shinso and I.

"Jinx." We both said. We stared at each other again and looked away. Geez, never thought I can jinx so many times with a stranger, but I guess fate assigned me to him, so there must be some kind of compatibility between us. The fact that Mizuno said her brother is concerned for her makes me feel guilty about keeping this big secret from her, but I know I would regret it if I broke the deal between me and her brother. So I decided to keep this a secret from her.

"I guess I should get to know you guys more since I am your group mate for picnic day. Let's start off with what is your favourite colour."

And so that started a whole series of questions that may or may not have deepened our bonds.

~

School ended and I walked back home safely. I did my daily routine and decided to play Splatoon with my sister, I obviously won against my sister in turf war, but I will never prevail against the legendary Japanese players in ranked mode.

After that, I went to sleep without any signs of a letter from Rider.
