Chapter 172: Crackling Danger (2)

—

Neji didn't sleep much, only 2 hours.

Neji's body was required to sleep to stay alive, but the number of hours needed to sleep was lesser than a normal human because of his High Human status and now his «Healthy Body» quirk.

He woke up to the sound of chattering girls, rubbing his eyes as he sat up on the couch he was sleeping on.

"Ugh, my neck hurts." He suddenly said, rubbing his neck, as the girls looked back at him. "Not only did you guys not put me in the bed, but I also didn't even get a thigh pillow. Wow."

"Shut up. We're busy discussing stuff."

"Fuck off." Neji threw a teddy bear out of his inventory at Nejire, who simply dodged with her tongue out.

"Don't curse, bad manners." She said, showing him a middle finger.

"..."

"Anyway, Kimi, I am hungry."

"Coming~"

Kimi, who was sitting with the girls, jumped up and ran to the kitchen while the other three went back to discuss.

"..."

'Wow, I'm hurt.'

Wiping his tears, Neji stood up and headed to the washroom to clean up. Before he could enter the washroom though, Nejire called from behind again.

"Oi! Take your costume off! Tch, no manners."

'Says who.'

"Also, how did you get it back? Did you go to the UA again?" Nejire added the last words in slight panic before wincing back. "Ugh... nevermind, I don't wanna know."

She didn't want to know if her brother came back killing her friend for real or not.

Neji laughed at that. "Use your brain, my classroom was destroyed. All students' hero costumes are kept within the classroom, inside special briefcases. How would my costume survive the destruction there?" Neji said. "I didn't go there, so Mirio is probably alive unless UA was attacked by some super strong villain again. I got this set of my costume from a dimensional gate."

"Dimensional gate?"

It was Rumi who was confused this time, tilting her head and looking around.

"Yes, Dimensional Gate." Neji looked at Momo. "Yaomomo, explain to her, please. I will add the details after coming out."

"Kay."

Momo waved her hands.

"Hey, why did you ask Momo even though we were having the conversation?!"

"Because you're dumb."

"..."

"No, really. You should read some books. Shoo."

Neji finally went to the washroom, while Momo comforted the dejected Nejire while starting her explanation for Rumi.

—

After having [Unequipped] his armour and eating his food, Neji sat down with Rumi to add some details to Momo's explanation.

"Hm, so a quirk that lets you create and access already existing Dimensions? In such dimensions, people and fantasy monsters live and sometimes you receive magical items from random spawning dimensions?"

Rumi asked, scratching her chin.

"Well, ugh, I don't like thinking. Whatever, if a quirk like Star and Stripe can exist, so can this. What's the quirk name anyway?"
