Chapter 38 - No more school!

When Hermann saw the cub and decided to take him as a pet for the time being he heard something he hadn't heard in a while, the sound of notifications.

H: [Wow, I never had that many at the same time. What can those things do?]

H: [What do you mean by beast tongue? If there wasn't the ability category displayed besides it this would be really gross.]

H: [Nice. I want that!]

Turning towards Allmight Hermann declared:

H: "If we are getting a pet then we are taking this one!"

Allmight: "Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

Astounded Hermann paused to think before replying:

H: "Aren't we here to get a pet for me? If that is true then you are simply here as an adviser and to handle the paperwork as well as paying for everything?"

Disappointed and sadness as well as utter surprise revealed itself in Allmight's face. He had anticipated many answers but none as cold as this one. Rolling his eyes Hermann relented and asked:

H: "Fine. What do you think about it?"

Suddenly Allmight's face lit up with a wide and happy smile.

Allmight: "I think it's WONDERFUL!"

H: "Quiet down! You are scaring everyone with that! Sometimes I wonder who the child is between us! Should I buy you a pacifier or something?"

Mumbling something about annoying and stupid kids Allmight walked towards the reception with the receptionist that had just stood besides the pair without commenting, simply observing their bantering.

After Allmight had finished the paperwork and they had been informed about the things a puppy needs to grow up well they took it out of the cage and took it to the car. Until the time they arrived home Hermann kept the puppy on his arms. Once they arrived at home without the puppy pissing, shitting or vomiting all over Hermann he released it to explore the apartment hoping that it wouldn't destroy anything valuable. Once Allmight had ordered one of his employees to buy everything necessary, he and Hermann sat down at the table to eat dinner. It was time for conversations about their day. Allmight told about the people he had helped. Although he mostly helped in the highly dangerous cases he also patrolled the streets from time to time. Most trouble was caused by small fry villains that had attributes around 40. No match for Allmight or even himself. Then came the time where he had to tell his stories. The chases, the bothersome classmates and Allmight's surprises. After he had told everything Allmight spoke up.

Allmight: "Are your classmates really that bad?"

H: "I want to graduate early. I could have done that but I wanted to relax in class but now with this new situation I just want to graduate early and stay here for a while. Since you have good connections with the government tell them that you teach me about being a hero or something."

Allmight: "Are you sure you want that? You have got to know so many people? Do you want to give that all up?"

H: "Yes, there is no reason for enduring unnecessary bad things if you can get rid of them."

With a sigh Allmight gave up and promised to arrange everything as long as Hermann passed the exams. That evening Allmight called the ministries and asked for an exam for his son. The day Hermann wrote the exam in a few hours under the watchful eyes of two teachers. When the teachers quickly graded his papers and he got the envelope containing his grades he got to see the shocked face of Allmight when he opened the envelope only to find out that Hermann had aced all exams up to the high school level.

H: [I didn't want to shock him to much after all I'm just a bit older than 6 years. This should be more than enough.]

With the results in hand Allmight followed the suggestions of his adopted son and relayed Hermann's wishes to the ministries. For that point in time Hermann no longer had to go to school and could focus on more important and relaxing things. He now had time to fulfill his quests. Daily training for himself and his dog. That was now what really counted.

H: [But one thing is still missing. What shall be your name.]

H: "Hey! Allmight!"

Slowly Hermann heard Allmight's steps coming closer and closer towards the training room.

Allmight: "What is it boy?"

H: "Do you have an idea for naming the dog?"

Allmight: "How about….Magnum?"

H: "It's a good name...but...somehow it doesn't fit...I know...Your name shall be Orion. Orion the Hunter."
