Chapter 2

After the soccer ball incident, I was determined to activate my quirk again.

I tried different ways to awaken the power in me but it refused to listen to me. The jerk. It wasn't until one particular day where I was finally able to finally get a clue.

On my way home from school, I had been so frustrated at my lack of progress that I kicked a nearby wall as hard as I could. Imagine my surprise when it when the concrete bricks used to make the wall broke under foot. There was no way a normal six year old could have that much strength, so that could only be my quirk at work.

Too bad I couldn't stick around to inspect the freshly made hole, but the last thing I wanted was for this to get back to Hozuki. So I booked it out of there as fast as my little legs could carry me.

Once I had gotten home, I got my notebook and went to the backyard. I had decided to take a page out of Deku's book and started writing what I knew about my Quirk and the different ways I could use it.

What I know:

1) I have to be awake for my Quirk to work

2) It is always on (when awake)

3) If I use it too much I either get really tired or pass out

4) The forcefield is basically like another skin but I can expand it about an inch away from me

5) Only I could see my forcefield (usually when something disrupts it)

6) Super strong?

"Now let's see, I kicked the wall when I was angry, so could emotions activate it? No, that wouldn't really make sense. I've been angry before but this has never happened. Maybe it has to do with the intent? But I wasn't really thinking about it at the time. ...Still it couldn't hurt to try. But does this mean that mean I could use the energy of the forcefield to make myself stronger?" I said outloud.

I spent the next several days trying to activate my Quirk again as well as brainstorming different ways in how to use it.

Apparently my Quirk has two modes: Subconscious and conscious.

When ever my body subconsciously recognize danger signs, it is able to produce a forcefield instinctively. It is like knee jerk reaction in that sense since I have no control over it.

The second mode allows me to manipulate this force field but I have to be conscious of my action and unlike the automatic mode, this gives me more control at the cost of a higher energy cost.

As to how I figured all of this out, well it all goes to something I call the knife incident, and needless to say I wasn't allowed in the kitchen without supervision anymore.

However, whether it was the auto or manual mode, there was one thing that applied to both. It always took a mental toll which was why I would either passout or be really tired after I used it.

Being the Otaku that I am I tried to see if I could pull off certain moves..

"Kame..hame..HA!" Nothing.

"Rasengan!"

"Come on Mio use the force.." I said stretching my hand to remote control two feet away.

"Wingardiun Leviosa... yeah, didn't think so either." I dropped the stick I was holding.

..they didn't work.

I was in my backyard trying to channel the secret energy that all Otakus possessed, the same energy that allowed me to go days without sleep or a proper meal. I had used it numerous times in my past life, usually when I was living alone and needed to pay for my own food, rent, and internet with two weeks until payday. As an Otaku I only needed two of those to survive.

'I probably shouldn't kick more wall, who knows what Hozuki will do to me.' I shuddered at the thought.

Looking at Hozuki's small vegetable garden, I gulped and scanned my surrounds before approaching it.

I bent down to pick up a rock and ran away.

"I guess I can see how far I could throw."

I focused all of my energy into the rock in hand. In my eyes it looked like a small soap bubble just barely big enough to surround the rock. Taking a second to concentrate I visualized what I was going to do. I wanted it to go really far.

I got into a pitchers stance and then threw the rock as hard as I could.

Well one thing was certain, I wouldn't be playing for the nationals any time soon.

Still I watched as the seemingly slow rock defied all physical knowledge and continued to fly, straight out of the backyard.

'I guess that proves it then.' I thought with a grin.

"What are you doing?"

I turn to see Hozuki standing at the entrance to the backyard looking at me with a deadpan yet disapproving look.

Crack! The sounds of a window shattering reached my ears.

'Shit.'

"I.. um.. that is.." Before I could even form a sentence I felt myself losing strength and the world tilting.

'Oh thank god..' I thought welcoming the darkness.

When I had finally regained conscience, I was laying down on my bed. 'Did he carry me back to my room?'

I stared at my ceiling thinking about what I had just discovered. I knew that I didn't have an ordinary forcefield, I actually had tactile telekinesis and there was one person that I knew had it too.

Superboy.

I didn't just love anime but I watched a lot of superhero movies, cartoons, comics and while I liked Marvel more I knew plenty about the DC Universe too.

If my Quirk really was like Superboy's power then my potential was limitless! I started to think about all the different ways he used his power, "I need to write this down! Wait.. Where's my notebook!"

I frantically looked around before spotting it on my desk. A feeling of dread started to fill me as I approached my desk. On top of the notebook was a yellow post-it 'We'll talk about this later' it said in impeccable writing that could only be Hozuki.

'Kyaaaa! Did he read it? He must have I mean. I'm so embarrassed I could die. I might have gone a little wild with the ideas, and no he probably thinks his little sister has 8th grade syndrome,' I thought as I jumped on my bed and screamed into by pillow. I could feel my face heating up already. "I have to avoid him for now, how hard could that be?"

Apparently not that hard. I had almost forgotten that he is rarely home because of all his classes. He would only be here in the morning or late at night and even then he still had a lot of work to do. So I was safe for now at least.

I took this time to work more on my Quirk, now that I knew what it was I could finally train it.

Superboy's power came from his will power and concentration and obviously his already strong body. With that he could fly, be super strong, be super fast, have super hearing, and even make energy bolts! And that was just a few of his powers, there are many different ways to use tactile telekinesis.

With this power there was no way I wouldn't be a top hero! I would be rolling in money in no time. Bwahahahaha!

With that in mind, over the next two weeks I started to take up meditation to improve my concentration and exercise to condition my body. I couldn't do anything too hard since I was still six and I didn't want to stunt my growth but slowly I could see some improvement. I didn't get as dizzy or tired when I used my Quirk and I was able to throw a decent punch after watching enough YouTube videos.

I started to increase my grip strength with something I like to call the Tinfoil Exercise. I would get a sheet of tinfoil, cover it with my force field, and try to crumple it into a ball. It was a long and frustrating process. But slowly after a few dozen tries and curses I was able to make it into an oddly shaped ball. From there I moved to paper then wax paper and finally construction paper before going back to tinfoil and making the balls smaller and more compact.

Next I started to use my forcefield to carry things, I had to start small since I still didn't know how to fully use it. First it was a piece of paper, I placed it on a table and put my hand on top of it. I willed my forcefield to spread around the paper and lifted my hand and hopefully lifting the paper as well. It did but the moment I was distracted it fell.

Note to self: Don't get distracted.

From there I slowly increased the weight to a notebook then a water bottle to a one pound weight and finally a 2 pound weight. I could lift 2 pounds in each hand for about eight minutes before I get exhausted.

My super speed also need much improvement, the push from my field to run faster would sometimes trip me and I couldn't do turns so there was a lot of running into walls and lots of condescending look from Grandma when she patched me up.

And just like that a whole month had passed without me noticing.

I was sitting on one of the tables at recess writing down my improvements and thoughts of future goals regarding my Quirk.

"Let's see I weigh around 50 something pounds if I can lift more than that with my forcefield then I might be able to lift myself and learn to fly. It'll be dangerous if I run out of energy when I'm flying so I need someone to watch me but Grandma would never do it and I'm still avoiding Hozuki..."

My thoughts were cut off when not too far from me there were three kids picking on some kid on the ground. Now normally I would ignore this but on closer look the kid on the ground was Aoi Yamada, my ex-victim.

Aoi was overweight girl and always wore baggy clothes. Her hair, a pretty indigo blue, was cut in a horrible straight bob, it made her chubby face look even chubbier. You could barely see her eyes behind her old fashion, coke-bottle glasses. She was also one of the shorter kids in class and rarely talked to any of our classmates. She had no friends so there wasn't anyone to stand up for her.

It looked like even if I didn't bully her someone else would, 'This would be a good way to make it up to her for bullying her in the past. Maybe we can even become friends.'

Closing my notebook, I walked towards the group with purpose.

"What are you doing?" I asked with all the badass aura a six year old could have. Not much. They turned looking startled before it melt into a relieved expression when they saw I wasn't a teacher.

"Yagami-san, are you here to teach piggy Aoi a lesson too?" Now this would be really insulting if the kid himself didn't have pig ears and a curly tail, it just sounded ridiculous.

"No, and recommend that you stop bothering her." They looked at me confused not understanding what I had just said. No surprise there, it was not too long ago that I would pick on her every chance I got and now here I was defending her. It would confuse anyone, especially the girl on the ground look at me as if I just said the sky was purple.

"Why?" Asked one of the others as some of his hair formed a question mark on top of his head.

"Why? Because I said so."

"And if we don't-oink?" the pig kid said.

'Did he seriously just oink?' "Look, I'm trying to do something good here, don't ruin it by being little shits and forcing me to beat you. The last thing you need is to be uglier. So just walk away and don't bother her again."

They looked nervous at each other an unspoken conversation going on between the three. They nodded once and squared their shoulders trying to look more intimidating.

'Oh, damn. Are they serious? Hahahaha...'

I was barely holding myself from laughing, as they began to approach me in a threatening manner.

I took out the pen from before and coated it in a thin forcefield before throwing it at them.

The pen embedded itself an inch infront of the bully's foot almost half way into the dirt.

They paled almost instantly.

"I see anyone picking on her again and we're going to have problems," I took out another pen, "catch my drift?"

"Y-Yes," they stuttered before running away.

A few weeks ago that show of power would have me feeling super drained but now I didn't even feel tired! This meant I really was getting stronger.

'Oh I almsot forgot.' I looked at the girl who was still on the ground gaping at me.

"You can get up now," I said trying to sound cool.

I extended my hand to help her up only to have it slapped away.

"I don't need your help," she said getting up off the floor and adjusting her glasses.

"Right." I started to walk away now that the problem was solved.

"Wait!"

I turned to her. "Yes?"

"Why did you do it? Is this some trick?"

"Hmm, maybe I was bored or I just can't stand bullying anymore. Maybe I feel bad about bullying you and want to be friends?" I said only to see most deadpan eyes in my life. "It doesn't matter, no one should bully you now."

I began walking away again patting myself in the back for sounding so chic.

"I'm not going to thank you or anything," she yelled.

I just waved her bye in return.

Cool exit.

Nailed it!

I didn't blame her for not trusting me, heck even I wouldn't trust me! If my ex-bully just saved me from getting bullied I would think that they were up to something too and sure I would be weary of them too, but not to the point of secretly following them around.

I'm not sure if she actually thinks I haven't noticed or she doesn't care if I know.

Awhile back I actually wanted to find out why Mio bullied her and while I don't justify it I can understand why she did it.

One day, when she went to the park with her family she saw Hozuki talking to Aoi. Her brother, who always treated her with cold indifference, was actually being nice and smiling at someone. Mio couldn't understand it at the time so she took her hurt emotions and turned them into anger. Anger towards Aoi for being able to do something she never could.

Well, that was then. I personally don't care who Hozuki is nice to, if anything I would rather not interact with him.

It was shame, I wouldn't have minded becoming friends with Aoi, from the small interaction I could tell she had a really strong character even after being bullied.

"I guess I'll just go train..."

-Two Week Later-

I was still avoiding Hozuki as best as I could and Aoi was still stalking me. So I just kept training, Grandma didn't care what I did as long as I didn't accidentally kill myself. I was really making strides in my powers, then again it's easy to improve at the beginning.

I used tactile telekinesis on my shoes to make myself go fast resulting in super speed. Well super speed to me. I'm guessing I'm running as fast as an average middle schooler, which was fast for a kid in elementary, especially someone like me who had short legs. I was hoping everything would balance out when I reached my growth spurt, looking at Hozuki gave me hope.

Meditation has really helped me with my concentration, at least after I was able to remain awake. As result my forcefield was slowly getting stronger. It wasn't enough to stop a bullet but I think I could take a couple of hits before it popped, not that I was willing to pick a fight with anyone to find out.

I'm not entirely sure how strong my punches are but I'd like to think I'm stronger than the average six-year old. I could at least lift 30 pounds with my forcefield so it won't be long before I could try to lift myself. I would really need someone to help me check out my power soon.

"Don't forget class, tomorrow we're going to the Aquarium. We're going to be using the buddy system so I'll give you two minutes to decide who you're going to pair up with."

Dammit! I looked around seeing other kids getting up and forming pairs.

'Shit, what do I do?'

I didn't have any friends and I hadn't exactly gone out of my way to make any. I started to panic as more and more pairs started to form. I spotted Aoi sitting alone in the back, 'Right, she doesn't have any friends either.'

I headed towards her and stopped at her table. She looked up at me with confusion then caution.

'Okay you can do this,' I thought.

"Do you want to partner up with me?" I asked. Please say yes, getting rejected by a six-year old would seriously bruise my ego.

She looked around the room to see if it was a joke that the others were in on but didn't find what she was looking for. I could feel the other kids staring at us with curiosity and confusion.

Biting her lower lip she replied hesitantly, "Okay"

"Cool," I said walking back to my table. 'Oh thank god! I thought she was going to say no for a second.'

The aquarium wasn't that bad, if anything it was kinda fun. It was a nice break from all the training I have been doing, Hozuki even left me a snack before he left. To be honest I'm still not sure how long I could keep avoiding him...

"Okay class, it's time for lunch! Follow me to the eating area."

"Yes, Kenma-sensei." The class called out.

We walked in pairs of two (with our buddy obviously) to the eating area. There were tables or a big patch of grass if people wanted to have a picnic.

"Stay where I can see you!" She called out as everyone started to find a place to eat.

I looked to Aoi, "Let's eat at one of the tables."

Aoi looked hesitant before nodding. We sat at one of the tables a little away from the others. We began eating in awkward silence.

'God this is awkard. Come on think of something witty to say!'

"So what was your favorite exhibit?" I asked taking a bite of my sandwich.

"The jellyfish looked cute," she mumbled.

"Yeah they looked nice."

Awkward silence.

"My brother packed me some cookies. Chocolate chip, let's share?"

"Eh, Hozuki-san? Okay, umm my mom made me brownies you could have some if you like," Aoi said scooting the container with brownies closer to me. I quickly did the same with my cookies. It's been a while since I shared my lunch with anyone. My friends and I in my past life were all big foodies and we would all share food when we went out.

'I missed this feeling,' I thought as a comfortable silence enveloped us. We slowly started talking about what we saw at the aquarium and our favorite parts. It didn't last long though as a group of boys approached our table. The name tags on their shirt indicated that they belonged to another school.

They looked about nine years old, one had antennas on his head, the other had a swollen index finger and the last one who appeared to be the leader didn't have any physical quirk that I could see.

'Must be an emitter type or something, got to be careful with him.'

"Do you need something?" I asked seeing as Aoi looked a little worried.

"Yeah, you can get off our table," the leader said.

"Oh, and since when was this your table?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Since now and I recommend you leave shortie," Antenna threatened.

Now I take offense to that, my height was a sensitive subject, but it couldn't be denied that even they have a good head over me.

"And if we don't want to?" I said as I stood up from my chair.

Aoi looked at me in fear, "Yagami-san, let's just leave. We can eat somewhere else." She started to gather her things and made an attempt to get up.

"Aoi, sit down." She looked at me conflicted before sitting back down. "Now how about you leave my friend and me alone before you embarrass yourselves."

That seemed to piss the leader off as he swiped his hand, throwing my half eaten lunch to the ground. "Oops, my hand slipped."

'That little shit!' No one messes with my food.

I walked up to him before smacking the lunch out of his hand. "Oh sorry, my hand slipped," I said with an unapologetic smile.

Now he looked really mad, he started to gain an almost animalistic look. His hands started to look more like claws and his teeth looked more dog-like.

I quickly concentrated on my forcefield and got into a boxer's stance, 'I could probably take a hit or two to make it look like self defense before hitting him back. The other two don't look strong so they'll probably back down if the leader losses.'

"Why so mad? I thought dogs normally ate off the floor."

I looked at my surrounding, the teacher still hadn't noticed anything but as I turned to look at Aoi I could see that she was shaking and close to shedding tears.

'Damn it.'

I got out of my stance just as the teacher glanced our way. The trio saw this too as they returned to normal.

"You go lucky this time. Let's go Aoi," I said as I began to walk away before I did something I would regret.

I heard her scrambling to catch up, she handed me my fallen lunch box.

"Why did you walk away? You could have probably beat him," Aoi asked.

I looked at her from the corner of my eye, "Probably, but you could have gotten hurt too."

I didn't feel her next to me and turned to see she had stopped walking. "Come on, it's time to go to the teacher."

The rest of the trip went by smoothly as we headed to the gift shop. The key chains were really cute especially the dolphin one, there was even a couple of water based hero merchandise like Gang Orca.

I saw someone walk by the window of the gift shop.

"Hey Aoi, I'll be right back. I need to go to the bathroom," I said looking outside.

"I'll go with you," she said putting back the starfish stuffed toy.

"No it's okay, I'll be quick. Can you just tell the teacher." I didn't wait as I left the gift shop but not to the bathroom.

"Hey fellas~ Remember me?" I said walking to the three from before.

"What do you want, brat?" the one with the E.T. looking finger said.

"Brat. Haha! Good one. Imma enjoy shoving that finger up your ass. Maybe you can find work as a jack-o-lantern after. As for your friend with the Ugly Quirk. Well maybe if I hit him enough times he might actually look normal. Not handsome, just you know, below average. It would be a major improvement."

They got angry with every word I said, but I wasn't done as I turned to the leader.

"As for dog-boy, well I hope you like smelling your own ass, because once I'm done you will be little more than a pretzel."

"Yagami-san, there you are. Oh my god what happened!" Aoi gasped.

"I tripped. Anyways let's go, I got what I needed."

I gestured to the small bag in my hand. She looked like she wanted to say something before sighing. Not that I could blame her, I supposedly went to the bathroom and came back with a scratch mark on my right arm, a forming bruise on my leg and dirt all over my clothes.

"Must have been one heck of a fall," Aoi commented.

The ride back to school was mostly silent with the teacher fussing over my injuries from my fall. I was taken to the nurse once we arrived, I was surprised when Aoi went with us.

"Yagami-san," Aoi began, "I um wanted to thank you for thinking about me back in the aquarium."

"Mio." She looked at me confused. "Just Mio. I think we've gotten to the level that we can call each other by our first names."

"...Did you really mean it?"

Now it was my turn to look confused.

"Did you mean it when you said you wanted to be my friend?" Aoi asked nervously.

"Oh, um I mean if you want to," I spoke unsure.

"Yeah, I'd like that." She blushed.

"Oh, I got you something." She dug into her bag before pulling out a Gang Orca key chain. "I know you like heroes so I thought you might like it."

I held it in my hand feeling a surge of warmth in my heart. "I got you something too. Come closer," I said beckoning for her to lean in. She did, although rather reserved.

"There."

On the left side of her head was a star shaped hair clip. I had bought two so I placed the other in my hair. We smiled at each other, we might have had a rough start but I think we were slowly getting past it.

"Yagami-san," the nurse called. "Your brother is here to pick you up."

I could feel dread start to fill me as not far from her was Hozuki standing at the door.

"Let's go." He stated.

We left the office and headed home after dropping off Aoi.

Hozuki glanced down at me with those hawk like eyes of his. "I think it's time for that talk."

'Ah, shit!'

A/N:

So how do you like chapter 2? Now some might be like she's improving to fast think about it like this its always easier in the beginning but it'll get harder later on. Anyways the next chapter Mio finally has that talk with Hozuki!

Now in case some of you don't know Mio is in First Grade also she doesn't have any friends. Maybe she had some underlings like Bakugo but after being punished for bullying she dropped them and didn't try to make any friends. Aoi also doesn't have any friends mainly do to her appearance but now she has Mio. That is not o say that Mio and Aoi will be best friends from the start, they are going to work their way there.

Anyways look forward to chapter 3! I'm already working on it. I usually don't give a lot of extras names or go into detail about how they look since Mio probably won't meet them again but if you have any suggestions for a quirk for a side character/ random stranger Mio might bump into like another kid or bully or store clerk, please write it in the comments!
