Chapter 43: The Way of The Raikage

  The decision to form the 'Pikachu' band was made so casually during lunch that Jiro only began to process her emotions after returning to the .

  "Wait... I'm already in a band with Kaminari?!"

  ht, and the band's name... Pikachu?

  In her mind, an image popped up of a bright yellow electric mouse, shredding on aric guitar and jamming out to "Only My Railgun."

  "Pfft—"

  Jiro couldn't help but ugh out loud, smiling to herself. "That's a pretty cute name, actually."

  At that moment, the sound of steady footsteps echoed from outside the door. Before the door even opened, a familiar voied into the room.

  "Wa-ta-shi-ga-kitaa!!"

  The moment that voice reached the , Midoriya was the first to react. While most people were only somewhat familiar with the voice, Midoriya had no doubt. He khat voice by heart.

  *BANG—*

  "e in through the door normally!!"

  The door swung open violently, and in the moment, the t figure of All Might stepped into Css A.

  "Ohhh—"

  "Whoa!!"

  "It's All Might!!"

  "I 't believe it! He really is a teacher here at U.A.!"

  Excitement rippled through the css. Most of the students couldn't tain their enthusiasm at seeing Japan's stro Hero. Even usually posed students like Shoto Todoroki and Yaoyorozu Momo looked impressed.

  After all, this man wasn't just any Hero—he was the "Symbol of Peace", reized as the greatest Hero of the modern era. Everyone had grown up hearing stories about him or seeing him on TV. For most students, this was a surreal moment.

  There might be kids in Japan who didn't know the Prime Minister's name, but there wasn't a single person who didn't know who All Might was.

  "Finally, I get to meet All Might in person."

  Kaminari wasn't as starstruck as some of the others, but he still aowledged All Might's preseh due respect. There was no denying the awe-inspiring aura surrounding the man. Kaminari had watched enough videos to know that All Might's power was on a pletely different level pared to other Pro Heroes.

  Even Endeavor, Japan's sed-ranked Hero, didn't quite measure up to All Might in terms of raw strength and impa battle.

  One particur video stu Kaminari's mind, a short clip that only sted about thirty seds. It showed All Might fighting a vilin with a ing Quirk.

  With just one punch—

  The sheer air pressure from a simple straight punch sent nearly twenty es and the grouh them flying hundreds of meters into the air.

  And in the final moments of the video, Kaminari could faintly see yers of clouds being dispersed by the force of All Might's punch, which he ter firmed after multiple viewings.

  Kaminari still remembered how that day he couldn't help but blurt out the words, "One Punch Man." His father, not uanding the reference, even praised him for the apt description.

  In his mind, All Might was akin to a living, breathing nuclear bomb in human form. As he stood at the podium, Kaminari couldn't help but aowledge the sheer destructive potential this man held.

  All Might struck a pose simir to that of a bodybuilder and, with a voice that had inspired hope in tless people, announced:

  "Without further ado, today's lesson is…"

  "bat training!!"

  The one who reacted most excitedly was, unsurprisingly, Bakugo, who had been itg for a fight. His mind instantly jured up sarios of fag off against Midoriya, Kaminari, aetsu, imagining glorious victories in each battle.

  Needless to say, in his mind, he was he oien.

  "And with that es this!"

  "Look here!"

  All Might gestured toward the wall, where four rows e ets slid open, revealing rows of boxes marked with green numbers.

  "These are your battle uniforms, ized based on the 'Quirk Reports' and 'Requirement Ideas' you submitted before enrollment!"

  "Whoa!!"

  Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, and others couldn't hide their excitement. They hadn't expected to be putting on their own Hero es so soon!

  At that moment, All Might's gaze fell on Kaminari, who had been quietly him. Their eyes met, and for a brief sed, Kaminari was caught off guard.

  All Might smiled warmly, thinking Kaminari might be one of his fans, simir to Midoriya.

  "Young Kaminari, your battle suit was temporarily transferred to a different support pany, so the version hasn't been pleted yet. For today, you'll be using the one crafted by your previous support team."

  "Got it."

  Kaminari hen walked over to retrieve his gear. Once he returo his seat, he didn't immediately open the package like the others. Instead, he g his right hand and thought to himself, "If the electric gloves are still part of the set, then it's good enough."

  He shook his head slightly, resigning himself to the tempear. He then turned his attention to the white and gold battle suit id out on the desk. pared to some of his cssmates' armored h-tech suits, his outfit was rather simple.

  It sisted of a white robe with gold ats, paired with a small, headphone-like device that seemed to fun as a wireless unicator, assuming the support pany had followed his inal design.

  "Whoa—"

  Kaminari pulled off his school uniform jacket and slipped into the robe with casual ease. His dramatients caused the long back hem of the robe to float in the air briefly, revealing the characters embzoned on it.

  "The First Raikage..... Kaminari, what does that mean?" Tetsutetsu, sitting behind him, asked curiously. His question caught the attention of Yaoyorozu Momo, Jiro, and several others who were nearby.

  They exged fused gnone of them seemed to uand the reference, even Yaoyorozu, who prided herself on her vast knowledge. She knew what "First Geio, but what about 'Raikage'?

  "It's a title I've given myself."

  Kaminari finished adjusting the unicator in his ear, then turned around with a fident smile. He expined, "The will of thunder follows like a shadow, alresent. That's the meaning of 'Thunder Shadow.'"

  He paused for a moment, his smile deepening. "And as for 'First Geion,' it represents my ambition. I pn to be the founder of a new legacy, a new way of the thunder quirk."
