I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

On Monday after the weekend, Eric didn't come to school.

Mr. Aizawa said that Eric took a day off to deal with personal affairs, and the children staying at school should not think so much and study hard by themselves.

He didn't say what kind of personal business it was—Eric had a personal business, too? ——This has aroused everyone's curious speculation.

Ask Hong... Forget it, Mr. Hong doesn't know either.

"Since it's not skipping class, if you asked for leave with Aizawa-sensei, it should be because there are really important things, and we shouldn't...don't worry?"

"Don't worry about it. With the gap between us and Eric, it's almost the same in reverse. It's just that I'm suddenly bored and lonely."

"Ugh."

Eric took a total of three days off work.

The overlord of Class A was away from school for three days, which was originally a good thing for the people at the bottom who were deeply oppressed by the overlord.At least, they can save three days of beating.

But it's also really lonely.

Such is the nature of human beings.Being beaten up every day has become a habit, and after one day I don't see the silver-haired boy's face that looks disgusting to everyone, I feel lonely for no reason.

"It's so sad not to see Eric for three days in a row. I haven't given him the handmade biscuits I brought from home."

Girls are generally more sad than boys.

It turned out to be the case.

It was only then that everyone deeply realized that in these days like flowing water, the relationship between Class A of the first year has been so deep and closely connected that it is difficult to understand for a moment——

"Oh! You can rush home and play games right after school!"

"Oh, I'm exhausted. Let's go shopping in the afternoon and go back slowly. Xiaomeiyu, do you want to go together?"

As a result, they all disbanded.

Three days, three days of happiness!

After confirming that Brother Eric will not come back suddenly in the past three days, the people who have been oppressed for a long time stood up, rolled up their sleeves, let their hearts fly, and were preparing to fly as high as the sky——

"Ding dong."

The froze phone vibrated.

At the same time, everyone's mobile phones rang.

——No... not good!

The ominous premonition was like lightning speeding through the mind, making everyone's expressions tremble.

hesitated.

It was Hong Jiaodong who was the first to take out his phone, and glanced at the new group message that was reminded just now.

【No rebuttal allowed】: "Don't forget the special training in the afternoon. Change venue, Saitama will train you instead of me."

Everyone: "..."

Eric hasn't noticed that his group id has been quietly—wait a minute, it turns out he still can't escape! ! !

The color of mourning spread, and the cloud still shrouded Class A of the first year.

No, but it's not time to despair yet!

"Eric's friend, that Mr. Saitama, looks very kind and gentle and easy to talk—he must be gentler than Eric!"

"……Yes, it is!"

The fire of hope was rekindled, and in the eyes of the stupid and innocent little devils, radiance appeared again.

"Tsk, what to look forward to, that bald head may not be very powerful."

"Student Baohao, you—"

Bakugo Katsuki stared: "What!"

"So that day, you also followed the past!"

Otherwise, how would he know that Eric's friend is bald!

"No! Get out!!!"

Leaving aside the hot explosion scene here.

Even if the overlord is not at school, he still cares about their training. For this reason, everyone accepted his concern, obediently obediently, and went to Mr. Saitama to gather reports.

It is said that the man who is about as strong as Eric - but no one knows how strong - is entrusted by a friend to leave work early from the convenience store.

Wearing a sportswear whose taste was still hard to describe, he stood at the gate of the park and greeted the students.

"Yo."

Hmm, it's kind and gentle, especially the head that looks like a shelled egg.

"Cough, uh, uh—I don't know what to do, Eric is too embarrassing. Otherwise, you can follow my previous training method."

"Okay."

"Well, that's it."

Mr. Saitama, who was so low-key that he didn't look like a strong man at all, said, "First do 100 push-ups."

Oh, is it so intense when you come up?

"And then, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats..."

Still, okay?It should be possible to struggle hard...

Saitama: "Finally, start from here and run 10 kilometers... Yes, that's how I became stronger, that is, I paid a small price. So, you have to work hard!"

Everyone: "Huh???"

That small price... what is it?

Why do they feel chills at the same time?As if the weak hair is about to die with the wind?

Can't believe it.

Can not accept.

Anxious.

"We were wrong, Eric! You are the most gentle! Please come back quickly ahhhhh—"

The screams resounded through the sky, lingering endlessly.

however.

The voice did not reach Eric's ears.

He is still within the scope of this city, but wherever he goes, it is quite secretive.

It used to be an area of ​​old houses waiting to be demolished at the outermost edge of the main city. Residents moved out early, but for some unknown reason, the dilapidated houses have been left unused here without demolition, and no one would come near them at ordinary times.

However, this is "once".

About a few months ago, the dilapidated buildings collapsed for unspeakable reasons, and the ruins turned into a vast sea of ​​ice.

That is because this is no man's land, the shocking movement did not cause disturbances in the outside world.But looking at it now, the traces left at that time have not been completely eliminated, and the frost has not melted for several months. Walking on the ground, you can feel the soles of your feet getting cold.

"Do you still have an impression of this place?"

asked the man who was traveling with him.

"No."

Eric answered crisply.

He raised his foot and crushed a piece of ice crystal scattered on the road.

The environment here does not give him any sense of familiarity.I don't feel anything, just a strangeness that doesn't matter.

Although, he was indeed right to turn the dilapidated neighborhood into a snowfield.

"I have no memory of the unconscious state. What you want to know from me is definitely useless."

"Cough, cough cough... Well, I know your situation at that time."

The deflated All Might coughed and said, "Today, I am here with you on behalf of the school, mainly to contact the investigation team in charge of this case and assist them in the final investigation..."

"Of course, this is just an official statement."

All Might lowered the volume, and said subtly: "We are here to find clues, to see if you can restore your memory when you arrive at the scene. Cough cough, Eric, don't worry, you don't have to worry about other things... …cough."

"I don't know where you got the idea that I'm worried."

Eric clicked his tongue.

He has always been quite dissatisfied with the attitude of Bibaba who treats him as a kid from the beginning to the end, and these words are obviously coaxing subconsciously.

Now that all the real kids in Class A have recognized his mature nature, there is only All Might, and the former fast food restaurant owner who calls from time to time—these two!

Still look down on him in the way an adult cares about a child.

If it wasn't for him to remember, he still owes favors to these two people, and he should have gotten angry after holding back for so long——

"Haha, Eric was a child after all."

Eric: "..."

All of a sudden, All Might felt that the already cold scene had cooled down again, and a cold wind happened to blow: "Ahem——ahem, ahem, ahem!"

The no.1 hero has been seriously injured, not only has his strength declined extremely severely, but even his body in normal state is worse than that of healthy ordinary people.

Before coming here, I probably didn't expect that the temperature in the closed area hadn't risen after several months, and the frail man was not prepared enough, and was very cold.

All Might felt a little embarrassed.

As I said before, he came here today as a representative of Xiongying, one is to be responsible to the students, and the other is to further Xiongying's attitude.

It is the teacher's responsibility to protect every student.

All Might is actually not very good at being a teacher, but he has memorized the principles mentioned by the principal, and he has already understood them.

He was one of the first wave of onlookers who discovered the mysterious boy Eric, and he was also the first person to communicate with Eric, so it is understandable to come here together

The relevant department staring at Eric actually asked to send someone to pick him up alone, without the need for extra people to accompany him.

Impossible, of course this cannot be allowed, who knows what those people want to do secretly.

However, he came here as a protector with his chest straightened out, and before he could use it, he humiliated——

"Cough, cough, cough! Don't worry about it...cough!"

"Who cares about you!"

Eric was impatient.

He was so shriveled that he would fall down when the wind blows, and he became sick from the cold air that hadn't dissipated, so he must be blamed at that time!

"Blocking the way."

Hearing this cold voice, Olmert subconsciously turned sideways.

The silver-haired boy unceremoniously took the lead and went straight ahead, but when he walked straight past Olmert, his hand seemed to inadvertently pat the man's back supported by bones.

Olmert was slightly taken aback.

Then, the warm feeling of deja vu emerged.

Drilling into the bone marrow, the painful cold air disappeared.

The whole body seemed to suddenly become lighter, Gein's clammy chill escaped, and firewood seemed to be lit inside his dry body, warming every corner that was originally occupied by darkness.

And the change is not over yet.

Olmert raised his head and stared at the boy's back. Out of the corner of his eyes, he still didn't ignore the sudden change that appeared in the vast space in all directions.

"……what?!"

"Wait, why did my feet sink—what's going on?"

"The ice... suddenly melted!"

The time is particularly short, just a few steps.

The vast sea of ​​ice that had previously covered the entire undulating land and occupied almost the entire field of vision melted in a certain instant.

Moreover, the long process of "melting" is skipped.

The tough silver-haired boy didn't look back, but just raised his hand and snapped his fingers, showing his sharpness.

The crystalline ice crystals shattered quietly, and the split fragments stagnated for a short time. Like the afterglow of stars scattered in the mid-air, they swayed slowly and gathered into the bright Milky Way in the night sky.

In an instant, the stars turned into rain and fell into the icy ground.

In the end, he stepped under his feet.
