Chapter 15

Ban left the scene and left everything else to Detective Hibino. After diagnosing the truck driver, it was unnecessary to stay there anymore. Somehow the girl who helped slowing down the truck following her while sneaking a glance at him. Curious why she followed him, Ban stopped walking and turn his head at her.

"So? Why are you following me?" Ban asked.

"Hey who are you?" The girl didn't reply but instead asked him back.

"I'm…" Before Ban finished speaking the girl asked another question.

"What's your quirk?"

"It's…" Again, Ban was interrupted again just as he was about to answer.

"How did that detective know you? How tall are you? What did you do to the truck? How did your fingers break and why is your fingers already fixed?" The girl barrage him with questions.

"…Do you want me to answer your questions all at once? Or maybe one by one? Or you want me to write an essay? Then give me your phone number so I can send it to you while asking you for a date." Ban shamelessly asked for her number.

"…You can answer however you like. No need for an essay. As for my number it's a secret." She gave a wink playfully toward Ban.

"Damn. At least I tried. Let's go to that café. We'll talk there rather than just standing here." Ban and the girl walk to the nearby cafe.

"Who are you?" After giving their orders to the waiter she began to ask him questions.

"I'm Ban. My quirk is Snatch. It allows me to snatch anything I want. I just used it to slow the truck down. But the truck is too fast that I was pulled along with it. When I use my quirk the same effect happens to me, so when I tried to pull the truck I was the one who got pulled instead. My fingers can't hold the force of the truck so it was broken. As for why it was healed, it was because I used my quirk to snatch life force from surrounding and take it into my own body to accelerate my own recovery rate and heal my fingers almost instantly." Ban answered patiently to the girl who listened very carefully as if afraid to mishear a single word.

"Snatch? You can be a thief with that quirk."

"Yeah but I will be a hero instead. Next month I will take a recommendation exam from U.A. since you wearing their uniform then you will be my senpai."

"Really? Seriously? You're not yet taken the exam so why are you so sure?" The girl curious about what makes Ban so confident.

"Before that I want to ask senpai first. Who are you, senpai?"

"Sorry I forgot. I am Hado Nejire 2nd year at U.A. That makes me 2 years older than you, Ban. My hero name is Nejire-chan. You can call me that way. Oh and I do work studies as Hero Ryukyu's sidekick. Awesome, right?" Nejire proudly boasting about herself.

"How did you slow the truck down?"

"My quirk make me able to release shockwave. With enough strength I can stop the truck but it may endanger the driver." They continues chatting about themselves and their quirk.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Why is that detective knows you?"

Ban answered her about medical hero. He tells her how he sometimes got called for an emergency situations and lowered the number of casualties because of him and his friends.

"Medical license while still in middle school? That's cool! Then it is near impossible for U.A. to not accept you after knowing your achievements." Nejire surprised after hearing Ban's explanation.

"See? That's why I'm confident in getting in U.A."

"You're so awesome! Then do you want to work with me? After you enter U.A. hero course, there will be an internship. I will recommend you to Ryukyu. We will be partner okay?" Nejire shows interest to Ban and wished to be partner.

"I'll think about it."

"No! Say yes!" Nejire insists.

"I'll think about it."

"Say yes and the tab is on me."

"Agreed. If Ryukyu shows interest in me then I will be an intern there." Ban agrees right away when Nejire told him she will pay the tab.

They then exchange contact information. "I thought your number was a secret?" Ban tries to tease Nejire.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nejire looked away pretending to forget her own words.

"Anyway why are you insisting me being your partner? I'm just a thief who has medical knowledge." Ban asked a serious question.

"You see Ryukyu can transform into a dragon. Whenever she fight villains sometimes she ended up injuring the villain badly because of her quirk. She is very strong after she transform you know. Unless the villain is very strong she will ask her sidekicks to fight. But if there is a doctor then even if the villains is injured badly, the doctor can heal them and Ryukyu can have more freedom in fighting. I like seeing Ryukyu fight you see. She is awesome." Nejire told Ban in excitement. She really likes Ryukyu.

"Is that so? Then I will accept only if Ryukyu herself ask for me when the time for internship came."

"Really! You promised okay. Don't break it."

After that they chatted for a bit longer until they went home.
