Ding—
Nezu's question was basically asking him if he wanted to enroll in U.A. Academy.
He was inviting him to join.
Everyone knew what Nezu wanted.
This kid wasn't normal. He had power—power that could be used for good. Nezu knew exactly what he was doing. He had calculated everything.
The only uncertainty was whether he would say yes or no.
His calculations stood at fifty–fifty.
And he was willing to bet everything on the most positive answer.
All eyes fell on Maki, who was sitting there in silence.
They watched him lower his head.
But he didn't speak.
Inside Maki's consciousness—
Ding.
The system notification rang.
He opened the system panel.
And when he did—
He saw something.
In the room, silence lingered.
They waited.
Seconds passed.
Minutes passed.
Finally, they heard his deep voice.
A simple answer.
"Okay."
Then—
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZ—
An unknown force erupted from him.
It was something the others didn't recognize.
But All Might and Unohana did.
Their eyes widened.
Before they could react—
DOOOOOOOOOOM—
The pressure descended.
Not just in the room—
But across the entire U.A. building.
The surrounding area turned dark blue.
A circular wave of energy burst outward, distorting the air like heat haze. A sonic boom erupted, engulfing the skyscraper itself.
Makoto and Naomasa, sitting closest to him, collapsed onto the sofa. Their eyes rolled back—they were unconscious.
Not just them.
Everyone inside the building felt it.
Some collapsed instantly.
Mei and Nemuri managed to stay upright only because Unohana released part of her Reiatsu to shield them.
All Might shielded Nezu with his own body.
They grit their teeth under the pressure.
All Might stared at Maki.
"A king… has arrived."
Unohana didn't know what she felt.
Her fighting spirit boiled.
But it was different this time.
She wanted to fight him—
And tell him how much she loved this man.
They both knew what this was.
The rarest form of Haki.
Possessed by only one in several billion—those with the qualities of a king.
The Supreme King's Haki.
Those who possessed it were legends.
Chosen ones.
They stared at him.
And most importantly—
He had said yes.
Nezu felt the crushing pressure. His consciousness was fading, but he gritted his teeth and smiled.
"I guess being tortured gave me some resilience…" he muttered.
His true nature leaked out as he laughed.
"Hahahahaha! Then, Maki… I welcome you to U.A. Academy."
In a single blink—
The pressure vanished.
Maki looked up at Nezu, who was breathing heavily.
"Thank you for having me."
"Hahaha—no, no. It's a pleasure to have you here."
All Might finally exhaled, smiling at the boy.
Mei and Nemuri clung to each other for support.
Unohana canceled her Reiatsu and slowly walked toward him.
Then—
In front of everyone—
She sat down on his lap.
Her hand cupped his left cheek and gently turned his face toward her.
They stared into each other's eyes.
"Anata… you surprise me every time. I wonder what else you can give me."
The others, who had just stabilized themselves—
Slipped.
And somehow hit their heads on the floor at the sight.
In his deep voice, he replied,
"Anata… how should I know?"
Unohana's left arm wrapped around his neck.
Her right palm rested against his cheek.
They were so consumed by each other—
They forgot where they were.
She smiled and leaned her head against his chest.
"You're mysterious as ever."
Her hand slid from his cheek down to his chest, feeling his heartbeat.
"Uhm… are you alright?" he asked, concerned.
"I'm fine," Unohana replied softly.
All Might stood and cleared his throat.
"Ahem. That's as far as you can go, lovebirds."
He helped Nezu back into his seat.
Nezu adjusted himself.
"Unohana-sensei, that's not appropriate. I'll call the FBI," he joked.
Mei and Nemuri finally regained their composure.
"Principal Nezu is right! That's bad and unprofessional!" Mei said, clearly jealous.
Nemuri pouted internally.
Enjoy your moments while you can.
But Unohana didn't let go.
She wanted to fight him again.
Yet at the same time, she simply wanted to sit there.
Maki just stared at her, still processing what had happened.
Earlier—
When he heard the ding, he opened the system.
At the center of the panel, a crystal shaped like a diamond floated, glowing.
There was a question mark in the corner.
He pressed it.
A small window appeared.
He read:
[ONE-TIME EVENT]
Officially joined an academy.
U.A. Academy is inviting you to join… Pending
Choose one:
Agree — Rare Draw
Disagree — Elite Draw
For him, it wasn't a big deal.
He came here to enroll anyway.
And he had promised.
He didn't want to disappoint Nemuri.
So he chose Agree.
And answered Nezu.
But the moment he selected it—
The crystal shot forward.
Without warning.
It flew straight into his forehead and sank into him.
Suddenly—
He saw a memory.
A massive robot.
It pressed a button on its chest. A string was attached.
The robot pulled the string until the knot loosened—
Then black lightning descended upon an island.
The island shook violently—
And the vision cut off.
A notification appeared:
Supreme King Haki — Awakening Stage
When he opened his eyes—
Everyone was sweating.
Shocked.
Makoto and Naomasa were unconscious on the sofa.
Unohana was walking toward him.
That was when he fully regained awareness.
Now she was clinging to him.
So he asked if she was alright.
Because she was acting differently.
And he still didn't fully understand what had just happened.
