BNHA: Spiritual Aura Chapter 86: New workshop

While wandering aimlessly, Kai soon sensed Nezu's 'voice' nearby. Having nothing better to do, he decided to approach and soon found him alongside a strange, short man with disproportionately large hands, wearing an odd yellow helt on his head that resembled an excavator shovel.

"Oh, Kai-kun, what a pleasant coincidence! We were just finishing up the final touches on your private workshop."

Upon noticing Kai, the principal comnted while raising one of his paws, causing the curious man beside him to turn and look at the incredible young man who was worthy of the principal's putting so much effort and resources just to get him to join the most important academy in the country, and one of the most prestigious in the world.

"That's great news. The morning classes are too boring, and Momo won't let skip them." As he walked toward Principal Nezu, Kai comnted with a slight smile, which brought a sowhat bitter smile to the hero beside them.

"Hehehe, well, your educational level is quite superior to that of many teachers, so it's only natural. But co in and take a look; the official handover will be next week."

For his part, the principal comnted with his typical adorable deanor, then guided Kai inside the workshop. anwhile, Salem stared fixedly at the curious bear/mouse, like a predator watching prey, sothing that stopped the mont he felt the warning pressure from his master clashing against him.

After reprimanding Salem a bit, Kai looked around, finding a spacious place with a minimalist and elegant design divided into several sections. One area had a predominantly white color and featured a cozy living room in a corner, with comfortable sofas, a coffee maker, a teapot, and even a vending machine for snacks.

Near the living room was another room that shared a similar design, which seed more like an office, with elegant desks, state-of-the-art computers, and stylish ergonomic chairs. One of its walls had a panoramic window, offering a view from above of the most prestigious academy in the country.

To the left of the office was what appeared to be a small eting room, with an elegant table in the center surrounded by various chairs and several holographic screens displaying all kinds of information. This room also had huge intelligent panoramic windows.

The whole place, which looked more like a high-level office than anything else, was connected by a reinforced door with various security asures to what did look like a workshop. It was a spacious area with a predominantly gray tone, filled with different workstations, as well as all the tools and machinery that Kai could imagine—even better equipped than his own personal workshop, as it even had things he doubted he could ever use.

"This place is truly impressive."

As he toured his new personal 'workshop', Kai couldn't help but comnt with a bit of surprise in his tone. After all, this was far from what he initially thought it would be and was truly a place where he would be interested in working in the mornings. To the point that he would borrow several ideas to improve his own workshop at ho, which already needed an expansion now that Keiko was working with him.

"Hehehe, it's good that you like it. It's also equipped with its own state-of-the-art server that uses the latest chips you designed. Additionally, Yaoyorozu-san served as a consultant for the entire project, so you could work with her here remotely or even in person, since I suppose she is now working with you."

With a smile on his face, Principal Nezu comnted with his arms behind his back as he walked beside Kai, who nodded in understanding. He knew that Keiko had helped a bit with the workshop, but since it was a surprise, she never told him anything about the place. As for her coming personally to the workshop, it was unlikely, though not impossible.

"Well, only ti will tell, but I'm really satisfied with this. My mornings will be very productive from now on." Kai comnted with a smile, now feeling strangely much better about being at U.A. Perhaps it was true that the environnt plays a big role in one's mood.

"Hehehe, I look forward to the results of your work, Kai-kun." Nezu comnted cheerfully, to which Kai nodded while studying the machinery more closely.

"Don't worry; I'll keep my part of the deal. Once a month, I'll complete an order for U.A."

"Hehehe, glad to hear that." Principal Nezu laughed cheerfully, while the hero accompanying him couldn't help but doubt whether the young man before him deserved such an investnt, as this workshop was even better than his own.

After checking out the tools and machinery a bit, Kai bid farewell to Principal Nezu. But as he was about to leave, a human-shaped volcano of energy ca running into the workshop, almost crashing into him. Since he had sensed her beforehand, he easily dodged her while simultaneously observing her curious appearance.

The person was a short girl with an athletic build and curious pink hair curled up to shoulder-length, with yellow eyes that had cross-shaped pupils. She wore a plain black sleeveless shirt with a work overall whose upper part was tied around her waist and strange goggles around her head.

"Sensei, the secure network has been properly connected to the general network!" Upon entering the workshop, the curious girl exclaid loudly while pointing at a tablet she was carrying. The hero with the excavator helt nodded, then casually congratulated her.

"Well done, Hatsu."

"Sensei, who are they giving this luxurious workshop to?" With a look full of desire, Hatsu i asked while looking directly at her Sensei, who pointed towards Kai while comnting casually.

"To that boy over there."

At her Sensei's words, i turned to look in the direction he was pointing, only to find a handso young man, quite a bit taller than her. He had an adorable black cat with matching eye color on one of his shoulders, looking at her curiously.

"Oh, so you're the big shot they built this workshop for. Nice to et you; I'm Hatsu i from the Support Course. If it's too much space for you, I'm more than willing to help you with that." Upon noticing the young man, i briefly introduced herself with a huge smile, which made Kai smile sowhat amusedly. He introduced himself after a chuckle.

"Hehehe, I'm Saito Kai, a student here, and I'll keep your proposal in mind."

"A student? You're from the General Course, not the Support Course?" Upon hearing Kai's unusual introduction, i couldn't help but ask while tilting her head, confused. Nezu responded while raising one of his paws.

"Kai-kun is from the Hero Course, although he doesn't like to admit it, hehe."

"Hero Course? Then why are they giving him this luxurious workshop?" i quickly asked, full of confusion, to which Nezu responded casually.

"Oh, because he's the designer of the PhotonEdge chips."

"Oh!! You designed those babies?! I'm a big fan!"

Upon hearing Principal Nezu, i exclaid excitedly while approaching Kai with shining eyes. He simply smiled aningfully while looking at Nezu, who only laughed amusedly, which earned him a burst of Conqueror's Haki that made his fur stand on end.

"Well, thanks for your support, I suppose." Kai responded casually to the excited pink-haired girl, who quickly and boldly asked.

"Hey, don't you have a couple of latest-generation chips to spare?"

"No, I don't have any to spare." Kai could only reply while rolling his eyes. At that mont, i quickly grabbed his blazer to ask with predatory eyes.

"And how about a discount?"

"I don't handle that." Kai quickly replied, sowhat amused. i then approached him dangerously, pressing her ample bust against him, and asked with a sowhat intimidating look.

"And how about sponsoring a young and talented inventor?"

"Well, at the mont I'm not looking for that type of investnt opportunity, but when they officially hand over the workshop to , I could take a look at the work of that 'young and talented inventor'." Genuinely amused by the pink-haired girl's behavior, Kai comnted while looking at her curious pupils. i quickly exclaid excitedly.

"Alright, Saito-kun! I'll show you my best babies then!"

For his part, Nezu watched the entire interaction with a small smile. Although the fact that she was a beautiful girl interested in technology might have contributed. Seeing soone naturally aggressive and with practically zero social life outside his family engage in such a casual conversation with another young person his age was a very good sign.

"Well, I have to go; they're waiting for ."

After a mont of answering several of i's questions about his chips, Kai said goodbye and left the workshop. He headed to the classroom to collect his things, then walked to the main gate of U.A., where he could sense Nejire, Momo, and Nemuri gathered, most likely waiting for him.

"Kai!" With a smile on her face, Nejire happily hugged one of Kai's arms. He smiled amused while comnting.

"Hehehe, you're being overdramatic; anyone would think we haven't seen each other in years, and we just had lunch together a few hours ago."

"Hehehe, I still missed you."

With an innocent smile, Nejire comnted cheerfully, feeling much more relaxed now. Although she knew sothing was going on with her mother, she now looked much better and knew that everyone was supporting her. Moreover, living all together was sothing she had wanted for years, and the fact that it was finally coming true made her very happy.

"Where were you? We were waiting for you." Nemuri, who was wearing her hero costu, comnted with a small smile, to which Momo quickly added.

"Yes, Kai, I waited for you in the classroom, but you never ca."

"Well, I saw you enjoying yourself with the other students, so I decided to go for a walk and ended up eting Principal Nezu, who showed my future workshop." Kai replied with a small smile, which prompted a guilty smile from Momo, who comnted in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry; I didn't realize."

"Oh, you don't have to apologize. I was quite happy to see you having fun and didn't want to ruin your mont. After all, I haven't been the most pleasant person with them." Kai comnted casually while walking with the girls to a secluded place without caras. Momo added with a small smile.

"You know, you could have joined; everyone is very interested in you."

"Maybe another ti." Kai replied with a diplomatic smile on his face. At that mont, Nemuri hooked one of his arms and asked with a small smile and a casual tone that, for so reason, sounded eerie.

"I heard you were causing trouble today, and All Might had to call you after classes."

"Hehehe."

For his part, Kai could only smile innocently as they reached a suitable place. He quickly conjured the Accompany card and activated it, not allowing Nemuri to say another word. This only made the beautiful heroine smile amusedly since it was not as if she could not continue with the topic if he activated it.

"[Accompany] on, [Ho]!"

Upon arriving ho, they all walked together to the main house, where they were greeted by Keiko and Yumiko—the latter looking much calr and happier. Not only had it been very comforting to receive the full support of her entire family, but she had also talked at length with Keiko, which had helped her a lot.

"Welco back." Keiko greeted with a small smile, then proceeded to hug everyone, sothing Yumiko imitated while comnting in a cheerful tone.

"Welco back; it really feels good to be able to welco you ho."

"Hehehe, I see that retirent life is seducing you." Nemuri comnted amused while hugging Yumiko, who responded with a small grin.

"The truth is, yes; it's a very attractive life, fufufu."

"I think you should retire like Aunt Keiko, Mom!" Nejire exclaid excitedly, then hugged her mother tightly. Yumiko began to stroke her daughter's soft and silky hair while responding in a warm tone.

"Yes, that could be a very good idea..."
