Chapter 21 - Do you want to be my friend?

The next day Hermann went to school and forced himself to pay attention in class. Even though he had never experienced it himself he could swear that torture would probably be more pleasant compared to this annoyance. After his math class they had a short break. He planned to spend his time with an interesting book until he noticed an approaching green squirt that seemed to want to speak with him.

H: [Shut up, my mental state is far from being a child]

H: [Yes and now shut up]

As he argued he was interrupted by the kid.

Midoriya: "S-s-sorry, w-w-would you have some time to talk?"

H: "What do you want?"

Midoriya: "I just wanted to introduce myself and make new friends. Do you want to be my friend? You can just call me Midoriya."

Hermann just glanced at him when his system contacted him.

H: [Why would I need friends...I won't stay in this world anyway]

H: [What would I achieve by becoming his friend? What is it worth?]

H: [Fine, just stop annoying me. You will drive me to insanity with your dumb friendship]

In a comfortable chair in front of a screen on a wooden table sat a mass of light watching the scene and answering questions though text he wrote on it. Behind him stood a beautiful person in a suit. It had quietly stood there for a large amount of time until it asked a question.

??: "Why? Why are you so interested in this being. Why didn't you just judge him and be done with it? Why did you lie? Why?"

After a while the being answered without so much as turning away from the screen

???: "Because he was surrounded by an aura of loneliness and apathy. But contrary to murderers or those who commit suicide he was not consumed by this void. I found it intriguing and decided to give him an opportunity to change himself. Now let us see what happens."

With these words silence once again took over the room as both focused their attention back to the screen.

When Hermann refocused on the outside world he looked into the worried face of Midoriya.

Midoriya: "Are you all right Kaiser?"

H: "Yes I am. And I have decided to accept your proposal of friendship."

Midoriya: "Yes, thank you. Let's go and watch heroes after school. I will as my mother. What about your family?"

H: "I don't have family but I am certain that my caretakers will approve."

Instantly Midoriya apologized for his mistake and left for his seat as the next lesson was about to begin. Before the bell rang another annoying child ran up to Hermann.

Bakugo: "Stay away from Deku if you know what's good for you!"

With a mocking and pitying look Hermann looked up to Bakugos face.

H: "Are you going to make me? You and what army?"

With a face reddened by anger Bakugo turned away and went to his place as the teacher had arrived. He turned around once more and left the words

"This isn't the end Kaiser!"

Chuckling Hermann stayed seated and focused on the following lecture. He was excited to witness what would happen at the end of the day. Would Bakugo try to assault him first or would Midoriya try to drag him to his caretakers to watch heroes first.
