Chapter 76: Tsuyu visits.
The rest of the class was setting up their rooms and checking out the Dorm.
Aizawa passed by and said "Tomorrow, school. Sleep early." Bullet turned to him and he pointed at the TV, "Also… share TV." Bullet looked troubled and Aizawa's lips twitched…
After he left, Bullet went back to watching the drama.
A few hours later
Bullet was tackled by Momo, who cuddled up to him and stole his popcorn, watching the drama carefully.
Izuku came down and sat next to Momo resting his elbow on her hip as he let out a breath, moving is really tiring!
Shoto walked down and looked at Momo before his eyes twitched. Why was she so close to Bullet…? He sat above her on the back of the couch, she looked up and smiled, shifting to sit in between his legs. Shoto nodded slightly…
Time continued passing as more and more came down only to hear Izuku shout in shock, "WHAT?! THE IMPERIAL TEACHER WAS THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE 2ND CONCUBINE'S ASSASSINATION?!"
Momo rolled her eyes, "You couldn't tell?! Look at the crafty look in that guy's eyes! He has to be evil!" Bullet frowned slightly and shook his head, "Maybe Teacher puppet too!" Izuku and Momo were shocked, "No way!"
Bullet pointed saying "You see… Empress no care! Maybe even a little happy! Spend night with Emperor! How long been? Big plan by Empress Bullet think!" Mina was sitting upside down, saying in shock "Maybe she just misses him?"
Momo snorted "Heh… Misses him? Probably! The easiest way to get him back is to kill the second concubine! She's the Emperor's favorite!" Fumikage suddenly said "Maybe she's not dead."
Everyone was shocked!
The 2nd Concubine? Not dead!? Impossible!
Shoto nodded, "It's a possibility… Did anyone notice that tattered guy roaming in the capital? Who was that guy? He shows up and the 2nd Concubine is killed… Maybe it's not a coincidence!" Momo grabbed his calves, saying "That's my man! Yes! I saw him too! But I didn't know who he was! He was too suspicious, he looked like a beggar but there was a look in his eyes…"
Shoto blushed and Ochako covered her mouth in shock, "No way!" everyone looked over and she explained her thought, "Could it be… The Second Concubine was actually his childhood love? Then she was picked up by the Emperor for her beauty so she killed herself but not actually and escaped to be with him?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Denki looked at Eijiro, saying "Man! Dramas are complicated…" Eijiro nodded and scratched his head, "I'm still trying to figure out who the second concubine is…"
Ida checked his watch and said "It's getting late…" They all looked and Shoji said in shock "IT'S 3 AM!? HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN WATCHING THIS DRAMA!?" Bullet ate some popcorn and said "Sometime Bullet forget to sleep, watch drama and go school."
Jiro covered her mouth and said "That's… so sad…" Rikido scratched his head and said seriously, "I think you have an addiction, Bullet…" Bullet laughed, "Haha! Addiction? What mean?"
Everyone's lips twitched and Denki shouted "Wait a sec! Let's vote on best room! Naturally we have to see all the rooms…" Mina clapped "Awesome Idea!"
Everyone agreed and they went room to room.
When they stopped at Bullet's room, he chuckled and opened the door, "See? Very cool." they all walked in and froze.
Fumikage walked around and said "This place… I feel the darkness comforting me…" he looked up at a chandelier made of knives and swords…
Ojiro pointed at a poster asking "Who is that?" Bullet grinned excitedly, he jumped on his bed and slapped the Knuckleduster poster, saying "Bullet favorite hero! Knuckleduster! Knuckleduster vigilante!"
Ida was speechless, "Your favorite hero is a vigilante? Is that legal?" Momo shook her head, "It's not…" Bullet chuckled and waved his finger, saying "Heh! You don't know! You know All For One, right?"
Izuku nodded, "The guy All-Might beat up!" Bullet snapped his fingers, nodding "Yes! He say he can give Bullet Quirk, Bullet say explode with Bullet! Haha! Anyway! Knuckleduster actually old hero O'Clock! Quirk taken by All For One, give to Villain, Knuckleduster Quirkless! Stronger than Bullet!"
Bullet clenched his fist, continuing "Bullet max 1 ton 4 reps, Knuckleduster beat villain with Quirk and stay Quirkless, still hero! He max 3 tons! Lift lift! Bullet watch!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, Izuku shouted in shock, "Knuckleduster was O'Clock?! The High-Speed Hero: O'Clock?!" Bullet nodded with pride before running to the other side, grabbing the knuckleduster.
He showed everyone happily, "See? Visit hospital, leave this!" everyone crowded around and looked at the knuckleduster with bloodstains on it. Bullet smiled happily, "Favorite hero inspire Bullet!"
Denki looked around the room and saw the trophy rack, Izuku looked over and said "Those… Stain's knives?" Bullet let Ochako play with the knuckleduster and nodded, "Old Vigilante Stendhal…" he refused to say anything else.
But he smiled, "Bullet keep one knife, momento. Stain idea very bad but true. Many hero fake hero only for camera, but no deserve death! Denki look at other girl but still actually like Jiro deep in heart, Jiro no kill him just beat up. Same thing."
Everyone understood and turned to Denki and Jiro, who both froze.
Fumikage unsheathed a sword, sighing "Death is like the wind… Always by my side." Yuga asked in shock, "You play League of Legends too!?" Fumikage sheathed the sword and nodded, "I only play characters from the Shadow Isles…"
Yuga slapped his shoulder, "Fantastique! I only play Lux! We should play together!" Fumikage nodded, "Okay." Bullet scratched his head and smiled at everyone, "That's all. Bullet room just this. Mei need come and install some things later."
Mina asked "Some things?" Bullet waved his metal arm explaining "Metal arm hard to get used to. Bullet too strong, maybe break on full strong punch. Come make machine to send data. Eventually make better and better."
They all nodded in understanding and Bullet remembered something cool, "Oh yeah! Forgot! Watch this, funny." he twisted his metal arm and it popped off. He waved it around in his hand and laughed.
Eijiro burst out laughing after a pause, pointing at the arm.
Denki held the arm and laughed, swinging it out, making a thumbs up, "No fear!" Bullet laughed happily and the rest chuckled. Momo looked at the docking system and hummed, "Interesting!"
Izuku looked at the metal arm and rubbed his chin.
They left Bullet's room and he put his arm back as they went around to the rest before finally voting the best room to be Rikido. Mainly because he baked a cake that was really good!
Bullet ate the cake happily, patted Rikido's shoulder, asking "Make spicy sweets?" Rikido scratched his chin and nodded, "Shouldn't be hard." Bullet's eyes sparkled, he voted for Rikido because the cake was so good!
The only room they didn't see was Bakugo's because he was sleeping. However, Toru mysteriously disappeared.
Anyway, they all went to sleep.
Bullet closed the door to his room and scratched his stomach with his metal arm, yawning.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, he blinked and turned around, opening it.
Tsuyu was standing there, asking softly "Can I come in?" Bullet smiled kindly, nodding as he stepped out of the way.
Tsuyu sat down on his bed and Bullet closed the door, asking happily "Need help, Tsuyu?" Tsuyu shook her head and said sadly "I-I came to apologize again." Bullet tilted his head and she continued "Tsuyu very mean to Bullet. Think villain even though save because kill… Not right, Bullet sacrifice for everyone… Tsuyu feel ashamed. Not hero."
Bullet sat down next to her, patting her little hands, smiling "Tsuyu no need. Tsuyu also hero! Bullet tell you, Tsuyu very strong! Bullet no make excuse, everyone say no kill because kill bad… Understand is Tsuyu scared. Second day Bullet hurt Tsuyu bad, not mean… Bullet sorry."
Tsuyu wiped her eyes and shook her head, Bullet hesitated but hugged her gently, saying "Bullet happy you apologize… but no need! Bullet never angry at Tsuyu first place…" she looked up at him and he squeezed her happily, "Bullet happy apologize because Tsuyu overcome fear! Scared of Bullet, Bullet think normal. Other in class not so normal, Tsuyu very normal, is good! Bullet very sad life, kill natural for Bullet. For Tsuyu very bad thing! Bullet also think kill bad, but Bullet don't know anything else!"
He chuckled and wiped her tears away with his normal hand, smiling kindly "Tsuyu scared before, not now! See? After Tsuyu get stronger because lose fear of Bullet! Overcome fear now, not scared later, overcome again! Bullet think most important thing for hero, not no fear at all, but overcome fear and fight to save!"
He struggled for a moment before saying kindly "I'm scared too. But get over it to save people. Bullet's life just like that, fight to survive. Die okay, no matter just one death for how many saved? Too many. But Tsuyu have family, friends, loved ones! Overcome fear and be hero good! Just careful…"
Bullet scratched his head and chuckled, "Bullet life and Tsuyu life… very different. So Bullet happy Tsuyu no fear but also want to say… Be like Bullet, do same thing… not right! Very dangerous."
He patted her head and smiled kindly, "Bullet life no matter but Tsuyu life very precious!" Tsuyu teared up and hugged him, saying "No. Bullet life also precious. Tsuyu no hope you die, Bullet live is good!" Bullet opened his mouth but closed it and smiled kindly.
He hugged her tight and said "Thank you, Tsuyu." Tsuyu let him go and wiped her tears smiling as she sniffled, "No… Thank you. Sorry." Bullet gave her a thumbs up and smiled happily with a star twinkling "No fear!" Tsuyu smiled sweetly, nodding "Mhm!" before getting up and waving "Goodnight, Bullet." Bullet sat on his bed and waved "Goodnight!"
Tsuyu smiled gently and left his room, closing the door behind her.
Bullet let out a breath through his nose and smiled kindly, another friend! He was happy he could help.
He looked at the Knuckleduster and smiled happily before laying down on his bed and staring at the ceiling, very happy with how his life was going…
The only thing that gnawed at him was Himiko's situation…
He sighed to himself and rolled to his side, frustrated tears forming.
