"Although creating sculptures that resemble humans is prohibited, other designs that aren't te... well, as long as they qualify as 'artworks,' the school has decided to allow them to remain on this field for future geions. Let's see how it goes."
"Oh, really?"
Kaminari's mood instantly brightened upon hearing this, but he still raised a skeptical golden eyebrow for firmation.
"Yes, really," All Might affirmed with a nod, though it was clear he didn't fully uand the principal's reasoning. "But the 'artworks' you create must match the style of the enviro here!"
"What about the quantity? Is it limited to just one?"
As their versatiressed, Kaminari's i grew. Initially, creating this 'statue' had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, but he hadn't anticipated it turning into something signifit.
"One? Isn't that enough? How many are you pnning to make?"
All Might blinked in surprise, clearly caught off guard, while awaiting further instrus from the principal.
"I haven't decided on a specifiumber yet, but as long as they aren't humanoid, aren't too big, and fit the aesthetics of this pce, wouldn't more be fine?"
"So it's okay to make several, right?" Kaminari restated All Might's earlier ditions, then offered a polite smile as he suggested it.
"This…"
All Might hesitated for a moment before nodding cautiously. "Alright, that's allowed."
"Thank you, Sensei!"
Kaminari expressed his gratitude with proper manners but then closed his eyes, deep in thought. It seems someone higher up in the hero hierarchy wants this to happen and is reying the message through All Might.
He had noticed All Might slightly nodding and listening to something earlier, and it didn't take much to deduce what was going on. Failing to pick up on something so obvious would've been pin foolish.
But why would U.A. High allow this?
And why invite me to perform during the opening ceremony of the sports festival? Now that I think about it, this is starting to feel strange…
Meanwhile, in Principal Nezu's office, the small yet highly intelligent creature sat calmly, monit Kaminari through a s.
"From one perspective, this is promising. His creativity and initiative could bring something valuable," Principal Nezu mused aloud, his toinged with . "But oher hand, it's also troubling. His disregard for rules shows his perception of boundaries is dangerously light. If he's not careful, his nature might grow indistinguishable from that of a vilin."
Nezu's sharp eyes remained fixed on the s as he tinued. "We o reinforce Kaminari's e with heroism, make him value it more deeply. If he hold heroes in higher regard, it'll help solidify his reition and appreciation for the hero unity as a whole."
The principal's gaze lingered on Kaminari, whose eyes were still shut in ption, as his thoughts returo the discussions from previous meetings.
I hope everything we've done and will tio do will guide you to the right path.
Ba the s, Kaminari moved, or rather, the massive figure before him began to shift.
Starting from the head of the 'bck iron statue,' the structure began to break down visibly, disiing into streams of floating bck sand-like particles.
One of the smaller streams floated to Kaminari's feet, f into a ft irohat gently lifted him into the air.
Bakugo and Todoroki exged a quice before turning their attention bainari.
They didn't know what he nning, but there was an oddly familiar sense of anticipation stirring within them.
"This guy's showing off again," Bakugo muttered, rolling his eyes.
To be fair, while Kaminari didn't deliberately funt his abilities all the time, whenever he did, he always went big—turning it into an unfettable spectacle.
"The enviro here is industrial," Kaminari murmured to himself, surveying the surrounding equipment and structures. "With all this maery and architecture… I've got it."
H mid-air, he closed his eyes briefly before opening them with clear determination. He began maniputing the iron sand with purpose.
"Here we go!"
From the stands, Kyoka tilted her head slightly, looking up at him. "I wonder what Kaminari's pnning this time."
Momo standing beside her, houghtfully. "He usually avoids drawing attention to himself. But when he does… he makes sure to leave a sting impression."
Kyoka smirked. "Yeah, he doesn't care for small-scale attention. When Kaminari shows off, he goes all out—big, dramatid impossible to ignore."
It had to be said, Kyoka uood him quite well.
"Wait, are those… mags?"
Tetsutetsu suddenly poio Kaminari's left, about teers away, his voice filled with surprise.
Everyouro look and noticed the particles shifting into familiar shapes.
"Those are… Little Magons!"
"Isn't that a Mage? And there's a group of Magons over there!" Sero excimed, his finger pointing skyward.
"Hey, I think I saw a Squirtle!" Uraraka shouted iement.
"There's a Poliwag… and a Poliwhirl too," Asui said softly, her lips pursed as she observed the se.
"And that's a Vulpix! The oo it… it's a ales!"
"Whoa, look at the Charizard! It's evehing fire!"
Kirishima suddenly burst out ughing and poi a bck 'Fire Monkey' floating in the air. "Hey, doesn't that look just like Bakugo?!"
"You're dead if Bakugo hears you," Midoriya muttered under his breath, suppressing a ugh.
As everyone said, hundreds of bck 'Pokémon' figures now floated in the air around Kaminari, spreading out over a 100-meter radius.
"Look, Kaminari's moving!" Mia called out.
Sure enough, not just Kaminari but all the 'Pokémon' figures around him began to move.
One by ohe figures started desding, finding positions on the ground or various industrial structures.
For instance, a group of Magons g to a long, thick steel pipe. Some tilted downward, others upward, their poses dynamid lifelike.
Nearby, a bck Charizard stood atop a building, its mouth open in a silent roar, as though breathing fire. Its sleek bck body reflected sunlight, glowing faintly white.
When Kaminari finally floated back to All Might, the entire spround had been transformed.
"You… You turhis pto a 'Pokémon' theme park?!" All Might stammered, looking around i the stunning dispy.
"No," Kaminari corrected, his tone calm yet resolute. "I think it's more fitting to call them… 'art.'"
