Chapter 117 - New Costume 1

Brando turned and saw a Yui along with Setsuna, Kendo, and Reiko. He was a bit surprised, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"We have just come back from lunch," Kendo said and asked, "How about you?"

Brando thought for a while and decided to tell them since it wasn't a secret, "I am going to get my new hero costumes."

"....."

"What?" Brando saw that they had strange expressions.

"You have two hero costumes?" Setsuna asked in a strange expression.

"One is for summer and one is for winter," Brando explained. He didn't think that it was wrong to have a lot of hero costumes. He remembered that All Might had a lot of costumes from his early career until now.

"Can we see it?" Yui asked.

"Sure," Brando nodded and didn't mind their companion.

"Where are you going to get it?" Reiko asked.

"I am going to go to the Development Studio to meet Teacher Power Loader to get my costume," Brando said, and added, "If you have trouble with your costume, you can come there directly."

They nodded and thought that it might be good to do that. They had designed their costumes before they entered the U.A. and after that they stayed here and practiced using their costume. They realized that they needed some adjustment to make their costume become more comfortable in their activity.

They walked together while talking about an internship since it was quite an important event that happened in the school. Though, most of them hadn't made their choice since they wanted to do some research before they could make their decision.

Before long they had arrived in the Development Studio but they were stopped by him.

Brando raised his arm and said, "Let me check it first."

"What's wrong?" Yui was confused by his actions.

*Knock! Knock!

Brando knocked on the door, "Teacher Power Loader, I am Brando who is going to get my hero costume."

"...."

Brando didn't receive an answer and opened the door directly.

"...."

Brando was speechless when he saw both Power Loader and Hatsume run toward his direction together.

"PROTECT US!!!" Power Loader and Hatsume shouted at the same time when they saw him.

Brando moved in front of them and transformed his body into a dinosaur who had the tougest armor.

Yui, Kendo, Reiko, and Setsuna were confused by their actions but they didn't need a long time before they received their answer.

*BOOOOOM!!!!

They were greeted by an explosion that was happening inside the Development Studio. The explosion was quite big but it was fully blocked by Brando.

Yui, Setsuna, Kendo, and Reiko were worried but there was nothing they could do since their Quirk couldn't block an explosion. They could only see his big body protecting them from the explosion.

Hatsume and Power Loader sighed in relief and laid on the ground since they were a bit tired.

Brando sighed and knew that his uniform had been destroyed once again. He felt that his back was a bit burnt but it recovered quickly. He turned back into human form and looked at both Power Loader and Hatsume with a tired gaze.

"Dio, are you alright?" Kendo asked.

"How is your body?" Reiko asked.

"You're not hurt, right?" Setsuna asked.

"Why are you so reckless?" Yui asked.

The four of them were very worried about him.

"......"

Power Loader wasn't sure, but he felt slightly jealous.

"I am alright. It's only my uniform that is hurting," Brando showed on his back that it was smooth without any wounds but his uniform was in a mess because of the explosion.

They checked it for a while and sighed in relief.

"Hahaha, I guess there is a problem with my new baby," Hatsume laughed.

"HATSUME!!! IF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, I'LL BAN YOU FROM THIS PLACE!!!" Power Loader was very angry.

Hatsume hid behind him hurriedly trying to wait until Power Loader had calmed down.

"Can you fight later? I want to get my hero costume," Brando cut off their fight.

Hatsume and Power Loader looked at each other before nodded.

"Come inside," Power Loader said.

"Oh, I have given you some special service in your costume," Hatsume said.

Brando wasn't sure but he felt very worried now.

---

Brando went to the automatic uniform making machine to get his new uniform.

"This thing sure is handy," Setsuna said while looking at the uniform making machine.

"Yeah, especially when you meet an explosion when you enter this place all the time," Brando said. He remembered that it was his second time to meet an explosion in this place.

"Did an explosion really happen that often?" Kendo was slightly worried. She was wondering whether it was alright to come to this place.

"It should be alright since the explosion is only for comedic purposes," Brando said.

'Comedic purpose?' They thought for a while and decided not to overthink it.

Reiko looked at his body and asked, "How can you get such a body?" She could see that his body wasn't that bulky but it was covered by a lean muscle that was as hard as armor.

"I have never seen you training that much," Yui said since both of them were living next to each other.

Brando pointed at his black bracelet on both his arms and legs, "These things are something that helps me with my strength training." He started to explain this device and told them that he had been wearing it every day.

"....."

They were speechless and didn't expect him to train that hard. They also understood why he could become the champion of the Sports Festival.

Brando didn't tell them how heavy this bracelet was since it would shock them. He thought it was better to keep it as a secret similarly to a lucky charm.

'His body is really good, huh?'

They thought inwardly when they looked at his body.

Kendo, Setsuna, and Reiko thought that Yui was lucky to date such a hunk.

"Hmm?" Yui looked at them with a confused expression.

Brando took his new freshly made uniform and wore it again.

"Dio! I have brought you your new hero costume!" Hatsume said while bringing his hero costume and running toward him until she slipped.

"Eh?"

Brando caught her in his arm, "Are you alright?"

"Yes!" Hatsume smiled and nodded.

"....."

They weren't sure but they felt that he had raised a flag on this girl.

(Note: raising a flag means that he has made a good impression, making her heart skip a beat or making her ready to fall down on his arms).
