Viridian: The Green Guide

Chapter 102: Crash

Denki couldn't keep the grin off his face as they went to lunch. The cavalry battle had been so much fun! And he really couldn't wait to hear Izuku's opinion on their whole balloon strategy because it had seemed really weird at first but then it had actually worked?! He was really going to have to talk to that Hatsumei girl about making him some hover boots of his own that would be able to withstand his electricity a little better, assuming that she ever forgave him for almost trashing her old ones. They would be super convenient if he ever partnered up with Uraraka again, or even just for mobility in general. And he might want to see about adding some kind of extension cord weapon while he was at it...that sounded really lame, didn't it?

He shook his head as he got his food and turned toward the tables. He only got a few steps before Mineta practically barreled into his legs, Yaoyorozu and Jiro following along behind him, "Hey Kaminari! Bro! Tell them Aizawa said the girls have to wear the cheerleading uniform as part of the in-between games!"

"Did he?" Denki looked over at Yaoyorozu and Jiro. "Wow, I'm excited. You guys are gonna look so good in those!"

"Well, I mean if it's coming from Aizawa." Yaoyorozu frowned. "I suppose I could create some..."

"Really?" Jiro wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to wear something so...revealing."

"I'm sure Aizawa wouldn't mind if you personalized them a bit." Denki shrugged. "If Yaoyorozu's making them, just have her make yours a little longer."

"Kaminari!" Mineta hissed. "Don't tell them that!"

Denki looked at him in confusion, "Why not? Dude, girls are hottest when they feel like they're rocking the outfit, that's like, a provable fact. If a girl doesn't feel hot in a sexy cheerleading outfit, then it's not really sexy, you know?"

Jiro smiled slyly, "How much personalization do you think we can pull off?"

"I don't know..." Yaoyorozu looked insecure. "I mean, the uniforms the actual cheerleaders are wearing are probably up to some sort of regulation standard..."

"But yours are just for fun, so you can probably get away with quite a bit." Denki pointed out. "Plus that's probably what Aizawa had in mind anyway, because it's a great way to show off the versatility of your quirk to all the heroes watching!"

Jiro immediately grabbed Yoyorozu's arm and started pulling her away, "Alright, hear me out, fishnets. And then maybe raise the neck a little bit?"

Yoyorozu smiled and nodded, "I can do that...I could probably make some synthetic leather belts as well, if you'd like, if the goal is to show off versatility, it might be best to showcase different materials."

"What about chains?"

Denki grinned as he watched them leave, and turned back to Mineta, who was staring up at him with tears in his eyes, "I'm never going to forgive you! Not ever!"

He ran away and Denki just tilted his head, "What?"

Dabi couldn't believe he'd let Kacchan talk him into this. He was surrounded by so many heroes, all dressed up in bright coloros and showing off their perfect strong quirks and building their stupid legacies. It was nauseating.

But while the company had been terrible, the experience hadn't been all bad. He got to watch Shouto compete, and lose, which was both absolutely hilarious and less satisfying than he'd expected. While it was great watching his father's perfect masterpiece come second place to Kacchan, he'd been hoping that watching the kid lose would be like watching his old man lose, which was some well deserved karma.
