I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

The third time Izuku saw Eric was near a convenience store not far from home.

At that time, he had just learned the good news from Olmert that he was successfully admitted to Xiongying High School.

Under the situation of emotional ups and downs, the green-haired boy rushed out of the door immediately under the pretext of buying daily necessities for his mother.

Although it was not too late at this time, the sky was dark and there were not many people on the road.

The shops with poor business closed early. At this time, only the 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road was still lit, and the ground in front of the glass door projected a luminous spot.

Green Valley Izuku just came out to relax.

and so.

He was completely unprepared to run into "that person" here and now!

"That, that is..."

"Aye, aye..."

stunned.

Izuku Midoriya suddenly shouted excitedly, his eyes radiated a radiant neon light:

"E-Eric!!!"

"Well?"

Hearing the noise, the silver-haired man who was focused on turned his head.

He probably didn't know this little green-haired kid hopping over.

He didn't bother to say half a word, just turned his head and walked away-this way may be more in line with Eric's wishes.

However, the situation is special.

"Who are you?"

"I, that, the mud time, and the entrance test, Olmert was also there..."

The green-haired kid waved his hands, speaking incoherently.

Eric frowned: "Huh?"

"Then it doesn't matter if you can't remember me!"

Izuku Lvgu was finally able to speak clearly in one breath: "That's right - I was saved by you that day, thank you very much! It's a pity that I was not in the same examination room on the day of the entrance examination and couldn't speak! Eric, your personality is too powerful !"

Afterwards, he took a breath and took a deep breath. His eyes were astonishingly bright, which seemed particularly abrupt in the dark surroundings: "Eric, will we be classmates in the future? In the future, please, please care!"

"..."

"For a long time, you rushed over suddenly and wanted to tell me this?"

Because his back was facing the light source of the convenience store, the shadows on his face were full of shadows, and even his silver hair was lined with black lines.

"Is it...? Because I didn't expect to meet you before the start of school, I want to express my gratitude..."

"It has something to do with me?"

"Uh!"

Eric's indifferent attitude really hurt people, but it was within the acceptable range, because Izuku Midoriya had already determined that the boy's temper would not be too good by virtue of the previous two contacts that were not counted as contact.

Not getting friendly treatment is expected, but to say something unexpected...

Compared with imagination, Eric's attitude at this time is even colder - no, much more peaceful?

It was as if he realized that his irritability was overly affecting him, so he deliberately restrained himself.

Concentrating the sparks that would explode at the touch of a touch, only the silver glow remained in the golden eyes of the silver-haired boy.

Izuku Midoriya was stunned by the icy coldness he saw, and couldn't guess what the nature of this young man who was sometimes like fire and sometimes like ice was like.

In addition, the boy also said: "Don't get me wrong, I haven't decided to go to that hero yet."

Green Valley Izuku: "...haven't decided yet?!"

God knows why he, who is just an unrelated person, is more excited than Eric himself.

"This—isn't it? That's Xiongying High School...ah, it must be respecting my wishes not to choose a school. I'm just shocked, and I regret..."

"What do you regret?"

Hearing this rhetorical question, Midoriya Izuku paused.

He couldn't tell the real reason why he was so surprised, he could only speak subconsciously, but couldn't control his stunned expression: "Eric has such a strong personality, he can easily become a very powerful hero."

"Ying, hero? What is this..."

"If I can become a classmate who studies and works hard together with you, then I will definitely get positive motivation from you—"

Erik's questioning of the word "hero" stuck for a while.

Midoriya Izuku, who couldn't help revealing the truth, was also stunned.

On the day of the "silt" incident, he witnessed the silver-haired boy's strength at a very close distance.

Afterwards, during those days when he was lucky enough to be mentored by Olmert, he also heard a little about the boy from Olmert.

Fireworks bloom, flames are released, and because of the extraordinary scene unfolding in an instant, the longing for the strong will fall in the hearts of those watching...

This is not unusual, it is human nature.

but--

In front of the pure stranger who barely met three times and this was the first time he talked to him, he said something like "You are so amazing, I really admire you, let's work hard together!".

It's also too invisible.

Super embarrassing!

Green Valley Izuku: "..."

"I'm sorry I said something stupid, please pretend you didn't hear it and see you later!!!"

The green-haired boy burst into tears, as if he was about to turn around and run away in shame.

However, before he ran away.

Eric clasped his hands, he didn't know which idea was poked in the center by the young man's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and added an extra sentence: "Wait a minute."

Izuku Lvgu slammed on the brakes.

"Are you here to buy something?"

"Eh, eh? Ah yes, I'm here to buy..."

"Then go inside and buy me something by the way."

Izuku Lvgu: "Huh?!"

This development was really unexpected, and the topic turned so abruptly that only Eric could remain calm.

"A small bottle like this." With a straight face, he gestured patiently: "It's colorful, with strange symbols and numbers on it. It should be called——"

Lugu Deku suddenly felt bad: "It's called—"

"Beer. Yes, this is it!"

Eric's eyebrows stretched.

"I don't seem to have drunk that stuff before, but I want to drink it for no reason. When I entered there, the guy who sold the thing heard that I wanted it, but he refused to sell it to me! Heck, it's funny."

That's right.

This is the real reason why Midoriya Izuku was able to bump into him by the door of the convenience store.

Eric has amnesia, so he has no idea that he was a heavy drinker.

When he was in a bad mood, he smelled the beer opened by a passerby coming out of the convenience store.

So, following my instinct, I walked in here, claiming to buy beer and drink it myself.

Then the beer in his hand was confiscated by the shocked clerk.

——Little friend, you can’t drink this yet!Come on, this is juice, drink this!

Don't probe into Eric's mental activity at the time.

Just know that he is very angry by now.

"No—even I have to say, minors don't..."

"Tsk, go!"

"Wait, wait, or not..."

"I bought it for me to drink and not for you, it's too long-winded, go and go."

"..."

No, we are all minors, and you are younger than me——Midoriya Izuku tried to shout.

But he finally gave in.

With his head drooping, he slowly moved into the convenience store.When he came out again, he took out a can from the plastic bag he was carrying.

Size, shape, and color, all fit Eric's description.

However, the only inconsistency is the essence:

Izuku Lvgu bought fruit beer, not the beer Eric wanted.

There seems to be little difference between fruit beer and beer, but the former is between beer and beverage, and the alcohol content is so small that it is equivalent to no.

and.

"I don't know what flavor you like, so I chose...well, grape flavor."

Green Valley Izuku made a small sound.

Eric stared at the can of [grape-flavored] fruit beer he had received in his hand, and the dark tide surged in his eyes, as if it could swallow the shadows: "..."

"Children really can't drink alcohol! You don't need to give me the money, just treat it as if I bought you a drink-in short, Eric, we all have to work hard. It would be even better if I could see you in Xiongying, woo woo, goodbye!"

As if keenly aware of the murderous intent, Izuku quickly ran away.

The night is getting darker.

The silver-haired boy whose back seemed to blend into it was silent for a while, and finally raised his head slowly.

"I really hate ignorant brats."

He gritted his teeth.

There was anger and irritability, but it was a little surprising that this childish can of fruit beer did not turn into ice cubes in his hands.

Eric was actually not as angry as he thought.

There were other details that took his attention away and his irritation.

Perhaps, Lvgu's babbled nonsense for a long time, and his eyes that can't be suppressed in the night, just made Eric stop by mistake and planned to leave straight away.

'I've seen that look. '

wrong.

'I've been watched like this by someone with similar eyes. '

Not just one person, many, both men and women.

Among them, someone hugged him intimately from behind, and what seemed to be his name was said in his mouth.Someone close to him, trusting, adoring, they travel together.

In addition, someone is kneeling, like he is the only "hero" here who can save everyone.

The memory that finally floated up like dead silence was extremely messy.

Eric also remembered this.I can't go any further because I have a splitting headache.

"Is this a coincidence?"

His face was dark and gloomy.

may be.However, it is possible—

'Stay in Xiongying, you will definitely gain something. '

What some people said to him not long ago, just rightly emerged at this moment.

Eric's expression changed slightly because of this.

Give it a try, but still dismissive.

To go, or not to go.

These questions...why are you entangled!I'm so bored!

Eric, who hated trouble the most, only opened the fruit beer, sniffed it, and immediately threw it into the trash can ten meters away.

……

"Kid, did you properly throw the garbage into the correct category?"

A passer-by walked slowly, and was kind to the "kid" with wide-eyed eyes.

"kid":"……"

"It's okay to throw it away after you make a clear distinction."

"……Oh."

"Minors must never drink alcohol."

"...It's so annoying!!!"

So, fed up with this world where you can't even buy alcohol and are treated like children, Eric gritted his teeth and came to Xiongying——

Just take it for this reason.

All in all, a legend kicked off.
