Hiro and Zerotwo returned to the restaurant after their vacation and Zerotwo opened it up the next day. Hiro still had to go to school to teach and kissed Zerotwo before leaving the door, waving at the customers as he left.

After joking with some of them for a bit he disappeared down the street.

He much preferred to walk, it wasn't too far and he was nice to take in the surroundings.

Very peaceful.

A while later

He got to the school and resumed classes, teaching the students how to cook and the secret intricacies, etc.

He was happy to say that his teaching ability wasn't too bad!

The students listened obediently and were even taking down notes.

He cooked for them before sending them off.

It wasn't too hard of a job really, just teaching kids was actually quite fun.

He suddenly felt like painting.

In the past, he would read novels that had the arts in them, like painting, chess, calligraphy, zither, etc. He was quite good at chess as a normal person, but the rest... he had an art talent but he dismissed it as useless so it became average over time.

What that means is, he used to be good at art when he was a child but never did anything with it so as he aged his art never improved becoming just average. It was obviously better than the average but it was still average for him.

Hiro didn't know that his perfectionist quirk had been multiplied by a million after he reincarnated. He had the tools and means to be the best and that's what he wanted to do. Before he died, he had also wanted to be the best in everything and had a slight case of OCD.

Now, he had to be the best in everything. He excluded his wife, obviously, as she was perfect in every way. But he was always extremely clean and tidy, even reluctant to get dirty on his clothes. Even when he tortured people, he would try and only get the blood on his hands, even avoiding his fingertips so as to not get blood under his fingernails.

Obviously some things had to have him get dirty like farming or mechanical things, but those were rare occasions.

Strelizia was still only Mk 3 and it's been upwards of 50 years since he started working on it.

It was more so that he needed better technological knowledge. The Ironman suits knowledge was already deconstructed countless times in his head along with the nano-tech. He had already built an Ironman suit from the ground up with his own hands without relying on the nano-tech. Maybe, he knew more about them than Tony Stark.

After all, Iron Man was his favorite superhero.

Thor was a close second.

Naturally, since he loved IronMan, he researched all the technology related to him. The Arc Reactor, the Ironman Suit, the Nano-Tech, the AI-Tech. He was basically able to make another Vision. He was just missing a Mind Stone.

...

He was also missing an evil counterpart that took over 4 different versions of Earth in the Marvel- multiverse.

Oh?

You didn't know?

Ultron took over Earth in the original and then spread to other Earths before taking over an entire Universe, after which the entire Universe was erased and re-created.

Just a regular Tuesday for Marvel.

Thanos was a little baby compared to Comic Ultron, then again Comic Thanos was invincible...

Anyway, anyway!

Hiro sat down outside on his break and took out an easel before putting a canvas on it and slowly painting, it had to be chef related. The pinnacle of cooking.

He worked at a neither fast nor slow pace and painted calmly, drawing attention from some of the students wondering what he was doing.

It really took him hours, he was engrossed and his class came out wondering what their teacher was doing. They felt he was very irresponsible. There was even a little girl holding a bear waiting for him. Normally she wouldn't go to to classes, but she researched Hiro and decided that she would learn from him.

He was the best after all, and she found out he was actually a Patissier.

The little girl was actually quite arrogant, feeling that it was Hiro's fortune to teach her.

Actually, Hiro didn't care too much about the little girl. The first time he looked at her, in his previous life and this one, he immediately thought of Annie from League of Legends. They looked exactly the same, both little girls, both with weird colored hair and carrying a teddy bear.

Fortunately, her bear couldn't grow into a monster and spit out flames and stun him for 15 generations. Honestly the game was super bullshit. Even thinking about it made him upset, if you got hit with a Q from Morgana, you might as well close the game and relax for the rest of the day before playing again tomorrow, if you were lucky, maybe you wouldn't be rooted the following day.

Anyway!

The Annie look-a-like, watched Hiro paint and was stunned, what the fuck was this! This guy was just painting! She had to complain! And she did, unfortunately she called Senzaemon, bad move. Senzaemon liked Hiro more than her, in fact, he didn't even listen to her complaints until he heard Hiro, then he came over.

When Senzaemon got there he stood behind Hiro and was thoroughly shocked. The painting was almost done!

It was very strange, he could feel power coming from the painting.

He didn't say anything and let Hiro finish.

A few minutes later

Hiro put the finishing touches on his painting and shook it a bit before smiling.

It was a chef, standing on a mountain, staring at another mountain with a chef's knife in his hand. On the other mountain there was a giant dragon, that looked plump and full of meat.

He was very satisfied with the painting.

Suddenly, a hand clapped his shoulder and Hiro turned to see Senzaemon staring at the painting with wide eyes as he said "Hiro! Can you sell me this painting!?" Hiro blinked and said "Sell it? You can have it." Senzaemon's eyes lit up and he laughed happily, saying "Nice! What a good kid, if you weren't married, I would sell Mana for this."

Hiro jumped from shock and said quickly "Damn old man! You really are senile!" Senzaemon chuckled and replied "What do you know? I give you Mana, then you're my son in law. You little bastard, where would you escape to then?" Hiro started sweating, this guy was definitely crazy.

Senzaemon picked up the painting gently and said "What's it called?" Hiro scratched his chin and said off-handedly "Endless Journey." Senzaemon's eyes lit up and he laughed, leaving a little tip "I heard that brat came to visit."

Hiro tilted his head and Senzaemon added "Joichiro." Hiro stiffened and said quickly "Where? That bastard didn't say anything?!" he was truly angry, that guy! Why didn't he say anything!? Senzaemon chuckled and said "He doesn't know you're a teacher here, I didn't announce it. Plus..." his expression became amused as he added "That kid comes and goes like it's his own house. I can't control him, but he's at Polar Star."

Hiro thanked Senzaemon and left directly, Senzaemon waved goodbye and left with his new Painting. What a good day today is!
