Chapter 1: Tragedy
As the sun started to drift towards the horizon, with the sunlight piercing through the canopies of surrounding trees. A slight gentle breeze passed through the area, bringing along a lot of different scents from its travels. A young boy sat upon the top of a park bench just gazing out into the horizon.
This young boy had long messy wild black hair with grey and brown strands scattered throughout. A pair of wolf ears on his head instead of normal human ones. His eyes, amber in colour appeared to be more beast like than anything. On top of that he had a wolf tail, mainly black with a white tip and the same colour pattern as his hair. This was the result of his quirk "Wolf's Spirit"
The young boy just sat there with his tail waving from side to side, his ears twitching every now and then to a presence of a young girl trying to sneak up on him. They were about 6 years old with a couple of months between each other. She tried her hardest to remain quiet, carefully placing her foot down with each step.
Until she was close enough to pounce at the boy's tail. With watchful eyes, she waited until the right time. Pouncing with all her might she managed to grab the young boy's tail which sent shivers up his spine.
"Yoshino" the boy cried out, turning around with flushed cheeks.
"It's Maya" she pouted in disappoint while letting go of his tail. "I just couldn't help myself Aki, it's just so fluffy and cuddly" Maya added with the most radiant smile.
The young girl was named Yoshino Maya, a sweet innocent young girl with purple eyes and long golden hair done up into a ponytail with a simple white ribbon. Not much is known about her quirk, besides the fact her father forbids her from using it.
The young boy Hayashi Akihiro was not impressed with young Maya's actions. He always hated it ever people grabbed his tail, it always was a weird and embarrassing sensation whenever someone did. However to Maya it seemed more like a game or her own personal method of greeting him.
"Geez Yoshino, how many times have i told you not to do that" Akihiro sighs as what he just said was completely ignored as Maya looks at him with excitement.
"So Aki, let's go do something fun" she says while standing in front of the bench Akihiro is sitting on.
"Yeah ok" he agrees then jumps from his seated position, landing near Maya. Akihiro let's out a loud yawn and stretches his body from being seated for a long period of time. With his back turned to Maya, she takes the opportunity to dive at his tail again.
However Akihiro quickly turns around causing Maya fall onto the ground. Maya quickly picks herself up and sees Akihiro with a cheeky grin on his face. "My turn" is all he says as Maya starts to run off, constantly laughing with Akihiro hot on her trail.
The two kids continued to run about like that for a couple of hours until Akihiro finally catches her. "Nnnnn Nooooooooooooo" Maya calls out while still laughing from all the fun she was having with Akihiro.
"Finally got you" Akihiro says while laughing as much as Maya until the mood was completely destroyed by a cynical laughter, full of anger and discus. Both Akihiro and Maya turn to see three boys their age standing there.
"Look at the freak show" the boy standing in the middle says while the other two agree. "It's disgusting" he adds.
As the boys throw taunt after and taunt at Akihiro, all he would was bear it and clench his fist in anger as Maya watched him with a worried expression. Akihiro's mother always told him to ignore people like that because reacting to them is what they want. Afterall people with quirks that severely altered their appearance were uncommon in these parts.
One of the taunts hit close to home causing Akihiro to show his fangs and clench his fists hard to the point of almost drawing blood. Noticing Akihiro's growing anger Maya steps up to those the bullies. "Hey shut up... if you can't say anything nice…. then…. then don't say anything at all" Maya says with a stutter due to the increasing fear.
The boy standing in the middle pauses for a second then starts to laugh even harder "Did you hear that" he takes a couple of steps towards Maya "I know why don't we cut the freak's tail off then have some fun with her" the boy says in a serious tone as he holds up his right hand, with each finger turning into blades.
"that sounds like fun" the one who stood on the left, he is slightly taller than the others. He throws out his hand which stretches and wraps around Maya waist. Pulling her towards him and keeping her in pinned position.
"YOSHINO!" Akihiro cries out, glaring at the boy with bladed hand who obviously is the leader of their little group, "Let her go" he growls.
The boy in the middle just laughs even harder while Maya manages say "Aki please save me". Her words covered in tears only increased Akihiro's anger towards the bullies.
The boy in the middle stopped laughing and swung his right hand towards Akihiro, however it was more of a warning shot than anything. It did its job tho, Akihiro naturally step back out of caution. It all seem like it was going like the boy who enjoys tormenting people like Akihiro plan. However what happened next, no one could have foreseen.
Maya had managed to muster up enough courage to put all her strength into squashing her captors foot. "AHHHH you bitch" he cries out in agony, releasing his hold on her then following up with a swift backhand to Maya's face with enough force to knock her on the ground.
"MAYA!" Akihiro shouts out, trembling with anger. His hands were shaking, they started becoming more beast like. A strange feeling starting brewing in his gut, Akihiro bent over holding his stomach. What transpired next shocked the three boys, within a second Akihiro had transformed into a wolf standing tall as adult.
Before his transformation Akihiro's final words were "I WILL KILL YOU". The three boys paralyzed with fear, unable to mutter a single sound as the wolf in front of them released a piercing and deafening roar. It seems that when Akihiro had his quirk analyzed, the results didn't show any monstrous transformations.
The third boy desperately tried to activate his quirk, with a small crackle from the boy's palms. Akihiro's ears twitched and he lept over the one closest to him, landing near the frightened boy who was trying to create electricity in his hand. Akihiro quickly turned around to face the boy with the stretching quirk.
Swatting the closest boy hard with his tail, launching him into a trunk of a large tree. The boy with the stretching quirk tried to back up but Akihiro closed the distance extremely quick. Towering over the boy, Akihiro grabbed the boy's shoulder with his teeth and threw the boy into the clearing, a fair distance away.
Turning his attention to the final bully, Akihiro let out another piercing roar and slowly walked over to his final target, constantly growing. However before he could reach his target, someone stood in his way. It was Maya she was trembling in fear but she held out her arms, "Please stop Aki, this isn't you Aki….. Please" she begged with tears falling down her face.
Unable to control himself, Akihiro raised up his paw and swiped at Maya. The blow didn't have any force to it, it was like Akihiro just wanted to push her out of the way. However since his paws were so large compared to her body. Upon contact his paw wrapped around her torso and left three distinct claw marks on her back.
Maya hit the ground hard and rolled, the pain made her realize that beast was no longer the Aki she had known. Meanwhile Akihiro creeped closer to the boy who was the leader of that small gang. He raised his paw to strike the boy down however a force hit his body, sending him tumbling across the ground.
"Maya" two adults appeared with concern in her voice, they were her parents. Her dad held out his hands and the area around Akihiro began to crumble under pressure as the gravity within that area increased, pinning and slowly crushing Akihiro in his wolf form. While her mother rushed over to check on Maya.
"Maya darling" Maya's mother said while holding her daughter in her arms. She felt something wet on Maya's back and saw those three gashes. "Dear, Maya is injured I'm taking her to the hospital" she says to Maya's father as she carries Maya away.
"Do that and I will check on the others after I finished up here" Her father replies as the gravity intensifies causing Akihiro to howl in agony.
"It wasn't his fault" Maya weakly said to her mother as she was being carried away.
A couple of moments had passed since Maya was carried away, Akihiro had passed out to the pain her father caused and turned back to his normal form. He was laying there, with no clothes on and bruises all over his body. The transformation had destroyed the clothes Akihiro was wearing.
Maya's father looked over the boy in spite, "filthy animal" he mutters as he looks around for the other kids Akihiro had attacked. It seems they had managed to run off after Maya's parents took care of Akihiro. "Hmph" Maya father grunts then leaves to catch up with his wife and check on his daughter.
That was the last time Maya saw her dear friend Aki, after that her family had moved to the big city where the famous Yuuei Academy was located. Since then Maya's father started to train her to get use to her quirk.
Nine years had passed since then, now Yoshino Maya is standing proudly outside the location where the Entrance Exam for Yuuei Academy was about to take place. Due to amount of applicants this year, the people taking the entrance exam was split up into multiple groups. She was apart of the second group to take the exam.
Pulling a black ribbon with two white stripes at the end from her pocket, she puts her hair into a ponytail. "Alright let's do this" She says with confidence, the ribbon was given to her by her mother as a good luck charm.
