57 Thicken Your Skin! (1/2)

While Nemuri was explaining the rules, a certain pair of heroes was chatting not far away from them.

[Best Jeanist: What do you think about the 3 recommended students? In my opinion, only one of them deserves to be here. The other 2 bought their way in.]

[Cementoss: I believe that all of them are exceptional individuals. Moreover, there is no way that principal would recommend someone average.]

Even though Best Jeanist was still a bit suspicious, he couldn't help but agree with his friend. Principal Nezu was a serious and righteous person. He was always helping with everything related to heroes, even though he suffered so much at the hands of humans.

[Even If I think it's true, I've heard a rumor concerning them. Apparently, the boy is a quirkless individual and the girl has multibillionaire parents. Nezu might have pulled some strings for them so that he could reconstruct the academy. Just think about it, almost every teacher knows about it and none of them wanted her in their classes.]

He said it loudly enough for Izuku and the other girl to hear. He also looked at them to see whether he could get any reaction out of them.

Izuku just politely smiled at him, but the girl clenched her fists even harder and a frown was forming on her face. It definitely bothered her. She said something to one of her parents and quickly left the place.

[Cementoss: You are thinking too much. I don't feel like talking about this with you. Only the time will say. She might be a genius. Say, do you think that All Might will come?]

[Best Jeanist: I don't think so, he has other stuff to attend to. He doesn't have much free time on his hands. His relationship with Endeavor is terrible, I don't think that he will bother to attend this exam.]

Hearing him, Cementoss nodded and put his attention on the plasma television screen.

All of the heroes have received the information about today's exam.

The big screen shined and two names appeared on it.

[Shiro Todoroki VS Cementoss]

”Hmm, it looks like it's my turn. I will be back in a minute.” saying that, Cementoss walked up on the stage together with Shiro Todoroki.

***************************************************

As much as Izuku wanted to watch the match, he felt like he had to go after the girl who left.

Nemuri knew that Izuku was feeling restless and couldn't help but ask, ”What is it? Feeling unwell?”

Izuku nodded and replied, ”Yeah, I will be right back” following which he left the training grounds.

He walked for a while before he arrived in front of a locked classroom, when he heard that someone was crying.

Using a bit of his strength, the door handle broke and Izuku easily walked inside.

To his surprise, it was the black haired girl with the ponytail. She looked around in a confusion and saw Izuku. She was pretty sure that she locked the door, until she noticed that the entire door handle was in his hand.

Izuku wasn't really sure what to do so he just asked, ”Are you okay? I heard that someone was crying, so I went in.”

”W-Who are you?” she asked while wiping her tears away.

”Ah, How rude of me, my name is Izuku Midoriya. What about you?” Izuku smiled.

”Oh.. My name is Momo Yaoyo.. Yaoyorozu.” after saying her name she looked at his reaction, but to her surprise, his expression didn't change one bit.

Most of the people she meets, always show some kind of reaction, whether it is surprise, fear or greed. The name Yaoyorozu, holds a great power in Asia, therefore, it is expected that everyone would be surprised.

”That's a nice name! Look, I couldn't help but worry once I saw your reaction earlier. The pro hero Jeanist said too much.”

'Oh, so he is one of the people with the recommendation letter. But unlike me, he doesn't look like a failure.' Momo thought.

”You... You, don't look like it really bothers you. How, just how can you handle it. Tell me.” Momo said.

Tears slowly fell down her beautiful face.

”I-I am not worthy to be here... He is right.. Even if my quirk is unique.. My parents must have bought the recommendation..I-I am ashamed to even show my face around here. E-Even though students don't know, most of the teachers were talking about it.”

”Hmm. So then tell me, why do you care about what other people say?”

”Well.. Because.. It would ruin our family image and I just can't ignore it when someone talks bad about me.”

Izuku put his hand on his face and couldn't help but sigh. Izuku was enduring his whole life and he didn't care what other people ever said. ”Girl, your skin is not thick enough. Your parents are billionaires, do you think that they care about what other people think? NO! Those people are just greedy and jealous because your family can prosper this much.”

Momo was immediately drawn into his speech. 'So he knows who my parents are after all. But, he still doesn't care. Is he rich as well?'

”Look, all you need to do, is to shut those people up. You need to show them what you are made of. If you are strong enough, they will immediately withdraw. Trust me.”

Momo was silent for a second, did she really deserve to be here? She thought about his words and it indeed, made sense. However, she looked at his form and his muscles. Did she even deserve to stand in the same room with him? Just looking at him made her remember some of the western movies she watched, where the man always had to overcome numerous hardships to get the good ending. Looking at his highly trained body, he must have put his blood, sweat and tears into his training.
