Chapter 829 - 829 My Hero Academia: The "Thieving Cat" Setsuna Tokage, Isami's Students, Humility at UA, and a Declaration of War in the Locker Room.

After classes ended, Setsuna Tokage approached Allen's desk.

"Hey, handsome. It's been a while~"

"Yeah, like a day," Allen replied with a shameless grin. "But I don't blame you—if I were someone else, I'd miss me too after a single day."

Setsuna blinked, not expecting such a narcissistic comment—but then she noticed the amusement in his eyes and laughed as well.

"You're as interesting as ever!"

"Back off, you thieving cat!" Mina shouted as she grabbed Setsuna from behind by the neck and pulled her away.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

Setsuna tried to break free angrily, but Mina had a firm grip.

"What do you mean what am I doing? I'm obviously protecting my territory from a shameless, thieving cat!"

"Huh? Ashido-san, since when is Allen your property?" Momo scoffed. While Setsuna's boldness annoyed her, Mina wasn't much better—she took every chance to claim the girlfriend position.

As for Allen, he watched both girls before forming an amused, slightly mocking smile.

"Oh? As far as I know, I don't belong to anyone." Allen stood up, walked toward both girls, and patted their heads. "On the contrary… You both belong in my territory."

Both of them blushed, but as expected, they immediately took advantage of the situation and grabbed one of Allen's arms each.

"That's right, you're the boss, honey~" Mina said sweetly.

"Then you're paying, sexy boy~" Setsuna added with a wink.

The three of them left together, leaving everyone else in stunned silence. It wasn't until Ibara giggled behind her hand that they snapped out of it.

"You girls better step up, or the extroverts are going to take the prize."

Momo, Toru, Ochaco, and Itsuka exchanged looks before quickly following after them.

"Tsk, this really shouldn't be possible! I've been deceived!" Sero growled. "Allen's supposed to get stabbed—or at least slapped! What is this, some kind of harem manga where that bastard is the protagonist?!"

"Relax," Ojiro said, a bead of sweat on his cheek. "In the end, only one girl can win. Once that happens, everything will go back to normal."

"One girl…" Tokoyami muttered. "I can't imagine Allen choosing just one…"

"I don't think he…" Deku trailed off. He knew Allen well, and he couldn't picture him with only one woman either. It was practically impossible.

"But… no, that's impossible," Aoyama shook his head. "My rival is someone as handsome and magnificent as I am, but still… I don't think…"

"That would be impossible," Monoma said flatly.

"Tsk, damn extra…" Bakugo stood up and left the classroom.

"Who knows," Todoroki said as he rose to his feet. "Allen is definitely someone who will go down in history. There will be thousands—no, tens of thousands—of women who would want to bear his children. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with more than one."

....

The next day, the classroom door opened, and Shota Aizawa walked in, accompanied by four students wearing uniforms different from U.A.'s.

Aizawa scanned the room with the gaze of a corpse and his usual tired, middle-aged man charisma.

"They're the special guests who'll be participating in today's practical training…"

"Yeah! " Special guests!" most of the class shouted.

They seemed more excited than expected—maybe because it was a chance to prove themselves to other schools, or simply because it was an unusual event.

Aizawa gave them a look that clearly said, "If you don't shut up, I'll end you," instantly silencing everyone. Then he turned to a girl.

"If I remember correctly, you're the class representative. Can you introduce yourself?"

The girl stepped forward.

"Yes, Aizawa-sensei"

She gave off the aura of an intelligent and responsible student.

Allen's eyes focused on her.

[Kashiko Sekigai "Sensor Girl"

Quirk: Chart

Type: Emitter]

Kashiko was a cute girl with a round face and shoulder-length gray hair. It was styled to the right, with a long fringe falling to one side of her face, while the left side was tucked behind her ear.

Her eyes were the most striking feature—gray with a peculiar iris divided by lines. They reminded Allen of Mei—not because they were the same, but because the mutation reflected her Quirk. She also wore glasses.

"M-my name is Kashiko Sekigai. It's a pleasure to meet you." Despite giving off a serious impression, she grew nervous when she met Allen's gaze.

Noticing her nervousness, another student stepped forward.

He was short compared to the others, with light brown hair styled diagonally to the left, a somewhat cartoonish round nose, small black circular eyes, and a mouth resembling a cat's. His most distinctive feature was his arms—thin at the top but widening into massive hands.

"My name is Dandan Tadan," he said, sweating nervously. Unlike Kashiko, he was naturally shy.

[Dandan Tadan "Lucky Strike"

Quirk: Flash Bang Sweat

Type: Emitter]

The third student had a completely different demeanor. He stood hunched over with his hands in his pockets, giving off the vibe of a delinquent.

"Tsk… Fujimi…"

Fujimi looked generally messy and unkempt. His bluish-gray hair was disheveled, he had no eyebrows, bulging eyes, a simplified nose like two dots, and overly prominent straight teeth.

"Huh?" Bakugo immediately turned hostile, as if sensing a rival gang leader.

Meanwhile, Allen raised an eyebrow when he saw Fujimi's Quirk.

[Romero Fujimi

Quirk: Zombie Virus

Type: Emitter]

Saya – Huh?!

Felicia – Zombie? Like in the movies?

Saeko – Like in our world?!

Rei – Isn't that really dangerous?!

Shizuka – Hmm, how would that even work?~

Lucy – Just thinking about people eating each other gives me chills… how can someone like that become a hero?

"I don't know," Allen thought. He had seen plenty of strange Quirks before—since most of the population had them, it wasn't unusual. But a zombie virus?!

Wednesday – There must be a catch. I doubt any school would be irresponsible enough to accept a student who could kill his classmates like that.

Allen nodded slightly. "As Wednesday said, maybe it's just a temporary effect—like a transformation—and doesn't actually kill people."

While Allen considered the implications of Fujimi's Quirk, the last student, who had been hiding behind Kashiko, peeked out. The moment she saw Tsuyu, she ran over and hugged her. Tsuyu hugged her back.

"Habuko-chan!"

"Tsuyu-chan, it's been so long!"

[Habuko Mongoose

Quirk: Enfeeble

Type: Emitter]

Habuko's most striking features were her head and neck, which resembled those of a gray snake with a distinctive pattern, rather than those of a normal human. Her eyes were bright yellow with slit pupils, and her hair was a spiky red mess reaching her shoulders. Despite that, her body was that of a normal girl.

"You know each other?" Ochaco asked nervously. For some reason, she couldn't see a snake girl and a frog girl being friends without thinking of predator-prey relationships.

"Yeah, we used to go to school together, kero," Tsuyu replied in her usual calm tone, though there was a hint of happiness in seeing her old friend.

"Hey, Mongoose!" Fujimi interrupted immediately. "Don't go getting friendly with U.A. people!"

"You got a problem with that?!" Bakugo growled.

"Kacchan, don't!"

"Shut up, you damn nerd!"

"You be quiet," Aizawa said with a terrifying glare. Bakugo had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Walker, as class representative, you'll show them around U.A."

"With pleasure…" Allen smiled, making the four students feel pressured. Meeting Allen was different from meeting other students—he wasn't just the youngest professional hero in history, he even surpassed Hawks, who did it at the age of eighteen, also, Allen already had achievements that placed him among the strongest.

....

In the hallway, Allen walked ahead of the four students.

"Is it just you four?" he asked with interest.

"Yes, just us," Kashiko replied, adjusting her glasses. "We're very happy to be able to train with you… all of you."

Kashiko's eyes sparkled.

It wasn't surprising that fans had started appearing after his accomplishments.

Allen nodded wisely. "No need to be shy. If I were you, I'd be happy to be with me too."

Allen let the youngsters bask in the glory of his presence. After all, he was humble… right?

"Speak for yourself, Sekigai!" Fujimi interrupted. "I didn't want to come here, and I don't care about U.A. or its overhyped students!"

Allen blinked. "You're like the bastard child of Bakugo and Monoma…"

Fujimi went pale. He knew exactly who those two were—he had seen them during the Sports Festival, and both were among the least popular students due to their arrogance.

"What did you say—?!" Fujimi was about to explode, but Allen narrowed his eyes slightly in his direction.

Fujimi dropped to his knees, cold sweat running down his spine. He had forgotten who he was dealing with.

Kashiko immediately bowed in apology. "Walker-san—no, Walker-sama, please forgive him! He's rude and troublesome, but he's not a bad person!"

"I-I'm asking too!" Dadan added.

"M-me too…" Habuko said, equally frightened.

"Oh?" Allen smirked. "It's fine. I wasn't actually angry—I just wanted to test his courage. Though… I won't deny that I was thinking of smashing his head against the wall... for a while."

His first words reassured the three students, but the last part made them smile awkwardly.

"You've got good teammates, Bakunoma."

Fujimi, despite being annoyed by the ridiculous nickname, held himself back from provoking this terrifying guy any further. It was one thing to look down on U.A. hero students—but he wasn't stupid enough to underestimate the guy who could carry airplanes, stop trains, and push cargo ships like they were cars.

....

"This is the cafeteria," Allen said, pointing toward the wide, well-lit space. Several students were eating there, and as soon as they saw him, they greeted him.

"Great work, Walker-san!" one student said, bowing respectfully as he handed Allen a soda. "Here's a drink for you!"

"Umu." Allen smiled, pleased like a mafia boss. "Good job, kid."

"Thank you very much!" The student ran off with tears in his eyes, as if he had just been blessed by the Pope himself.

"Good morning, Walker-san!" a girl said as she handed him a warm towel. Allen had seen her in management classes, though he didn't remember her name. Still, like a gentleman, he accepted it.

"Well done, young lady," Allen said.

"Yes!❤️~" The girl fainted on the spot and had to be carried away by her friends.

The four Isami students stood there with their mouths open. They had underestimated the level of respect and admiration Allen commanded. Though, to be fair, even Allen himself didn't realize just how admired he had become—though it didn't surprise him. After all, it was him.

....

"This is the infirmary!" Allen announced as he walked in.

A student was lying on a bed who, upon seeing Allen, tried to get up to greet him—but couldn't.

"Don't worry if you can't walk. Feel honored by my presence right from where you are," Allen said with humility, but his words carried an ego that would leave Aoyama speechless.

"Thank you so much, Allen-sama!" The boy looked like he had been visited by his ancestors as he burst into tears of joy at Allen's "humility."

Allen raised a hand to stop him. "Oh no, my son—call me Your Majesty. We are humble people here."

The four Isami students rubbed their eyes, unsure whether this was real or some kind of hallucination.

"Stop fooling around in my infirmary," said Recovery Girl as she entered with a frown.

"I'm sorry," Allen said as he knelt and kissed the elderly woman's hand. "I just wanted to show these students from Isami our infirmary, beautiful madam"

Recovery Girl blushed before nodding.

"Oh hehe, you're such a good boy. Forget what I said—you can come here whenever you like~"

Once again, the Isami students were left speechless. But this time, even Chat was speechless—Allen was a son of a bitch of the highest level.

....

"This is Ground Beta," Allen said, pointing toward the replica city. As the doors opened, streets and avenues spread out before them.

As they walked, the Isami students realized just how massive it really was.

"Incredible… a place like this just for training…" Kashiko murmured.

"As expected of U.A. High School…" Dadan gasped.

"Are all the buildings real?" Habuko asked.

"Yes, though they're empty," Allen replied.

"Tsk… " It's nothing like Isami," Fujimi muttered with jealousy.

"What's your training facility like?" Allen asked curiously.

They also had training facilities, but generally, they were underground metallic rooms that changed scenery using holograms. Not just them—that was the standard for most schools. Only U.A. had the privilege of such massive training areas, which was one of the reasons students from other schools were often so hostile.

"I see. You've got reasons not to like U.A. students," Allen said after hearing the explanation.

Fujimi frowned. "Doesn't that bother you?"

"Huh? Not at all. U.A. indeed receives a larger budget than other hero schools. The teachers are indeed famous pro heroes. And the way the Commission treats U.A. is clearly favoritism."

Fujimi frowned deeper, Habuko lowered her head, Dadan looked dejected, and Kashiko sighed.

"However… " It's not free," Allen said with a mysterious smile, confusing all four of them. "Don't worry—you'll understand soon enough."

"So you're the class representative from Isami's hero course?" Momo asked as she changed into her hero costume in the locker room.

Kashiko, doing the same, nodded.

"Yes, although I'd rather not be. I also have to deal with problematic students."

"I get it," Itsuka said with a laugh. "If it weren't for Allen, we'd have a hard time dealing with Bakugo."

Kashiko blinked at her.

"That's right—Honey keeps him on a leash~" Mina said, grabbing her own flushed cheeks.

Kashiko's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Although sometimes he himself is an even bigger problem," Momo sighed, then smiled faintly with a softer expression.

Kashiko parted her lips slightly.

"Hehe, but that's part of his charm~" Toru added, hearts practically floating above her head.

"Yeah, Allen has his complications, but we couldn't live without him," Ochaco said—though as soon as she finished speaking, her face turned bright red as her thoughts spilled over.

Kashiko blushed as well. Even a blind person could see that these girls were in love with Allen.

"Ara ara~" Ibara teased, making Ochaco blush even harder.

"Nonsense," Jiro said, trying to ignore it.

"Tsuyu-chan, Allen-kun is very popular."

"Yeah, Allen-chan is very popular~" Tsuyu replied.

"I thought my only problem would be the pink girl, but it seems I underestimated Allen's charm," Setsuna said, cutting into the atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look at her—and were shocked. The green-haired girl was wearing black lace underwear, something that was definitely not appropriate here.

"You!" Mina immediately grew irritated. "Are you seriously going after Honey?!"

"Yes," Setsuna replied calmly.

"You like him?" Ochaco asked, confused.

"Yes. I like him," she answered without hesitation, completely honest.

All the girls were left speechless—even Mina.

Setsuna gave the impression that she didn't want Allen beyond physical attraction, since she didn't show the usual signs of being in love. But contrary to expectations, she had declared it openly.

"Pure love isn't my style. I'm not going to hide in a corner like some shy girl in a shojo story. I won't wait for him to come to me. I like Allen, and I'm going to win his heart," Setsuna declared intensely. "The question is—are you competition, or are you just going to stand in a corner watching and regretting it?"

Kashiko held her breath. She had come here to train, and suddenly this had turned into a declaration of war among the girls of Class 1-A.

Setsuna had come to break the status quo.

Meanwhile, in the boys' locker room, everyone was pale and in shock.

Allen was gripping Bakugo by the face, lifting him, while at the same time keeping his foot pressed against Fujimi's back.

What happened?!
