So this is the second chapter. This again is slow, but the next chapter is the shit. Enjoy this filler, my friends.
Himiko Toga was a girl who got excited by many things. Blood, blood, blood...
Izuku's blood, and so on. So it was a very obvious fact that she also got bored by many things. Not really, as everything boring could be converted to an interest with her addiction.
Boring Government Bureaucrats wanting a bribe? Impale them, and watch blood ooze out of every possible orifice.
Some random hero who thinks they are the law? Impale them, and watch blood ooze out of every possible orifice.
Alright, she was boring, sure.
But she was now able to control her addiction. To an extent.
It was thanks to Little Zuzu, who volunteered to donate some blood for consumption purposes.
She always loved to taste his blood. Sweet, but with a hint of regret, and a load of anger. Add some righteousness in there and its a recipe for absolute success.
She was right now on his bed, with him poking the syringe on his forearm now. The others were already asleep, and it was just them.
His room was simple, just a small cot in a corner, with a guitar present. The only leisurely goods Izuku had were a stereo system, for the boy loved music, a karaoke system, and a wall full of books. He also had a study for him to plan the next move, and just study or read.
He finished with the syringe, looking a bit worse for wear. It was a tiring day today, and he was no doubt disappointed about being captured.
Without warning, she leant to him and kissed him on the forehead, like the characters in Naruto do.
"Its fine, Zu-chan. We were caught."
Seeing the grimace on his face, she understood that she got it right. He was angry over being caught by the heroes.
She continued, for she knew she needed to comfort him.
" So what if we were? Its not like the world is going to end, is it? Its not like Papa is angry at all of us. In fact he wants us to learn from this. So do that. Learn."
She got up to leave, and when she reached the door, she looked at him again, and spoke a bit louder, for him to hear clearly.
"You are the guy who won against the Spanish Dictatorship. And its not like this is the end. Everybody fails, and you have too. Don't take this to heart. You may have lost the battle, but I'm pretty sure you'll win the war. "
Assuming her cheery persona again, she winked at him, and left with a loud thanks, leaving behind one very distraught Izuku.
Her comments helped, but he still felt a lot of confusion. On how he was to proceed, and this carried on with him to bed. Or kept him out of it.
Shinsou Hitoshi did not know how to deal with the events that just took place this week. From watching his life go south again when villains decided to attack the U.S.J, in what was possibly the first time Hitoshi managed to have a conversation with anybody other than a cat for a long time.
Then, while trying to fight some villains and make his way towards the plaza with Ojiro, he saw his teacher and idol be pulped to the ground by some mindless monster that also was built to basically kill All Might.
Now he wasn't the biggest fan of All Might,but being a fan and respecting the dude are two completely different things.
He got a front-seat show of how strong All Might really was. He may be a dork, but that same dude is the Symbol of Peace, and the World's Strongest Hero.
All Might himself took some battering, but that was not enough as he sent that monster, the Noumu out into the fields beyond the U.S.J. The distance was somewhere around 150 metres. Shinsou couldn't even throw a tennis ball 50 metres.
They were given one full week to recover, and another bom was dropped onto Shinsou when he was told that all students will have to be made to live in the hostels being made for them at the moment.
He was both happy and nervous by this development. Happy because, he wouldn't have to interact with bratty cousins and uncles again. Atleast until he became a hero. But sadness because he would:
1. most certainly be denied to take his cats to the dorms.
2. he was nervous about living with his new friends.
3. he didn't want to leave his family. Sue him for feeling homesick, but they were the only people in the world who ever cared for him, and helped him in achieving his dreams. His mother even left her job to get a better pay for his sake. It was sadder that she loved the company she was working in and was comfortable there. She also had to go extra early in order to reach on time. His older sister even helped him study for the entrance, genius she was.
So again, he was nervous when he entered the dorms with Uraraka and co.
Aizawa-sensei, who looked like a mummy, had come out with All-Might and decided to drop the 'Tzar Bomba'* on them and decided to inform them this moment that some Revolutionary Commander named Akuma and his buddies will be living in the same building as they. Apparently it was the World Government's orders, and that silenced every single person who had a complaint about the situation.
The situation was worsened when it was revealed that Katsuki 'Explode' Bakugou and Midoriya Izumi have some past with this Akuma, with the words 'Shitty Deku', and the corresponding actions etched in his mind. It will stay there in the recesses for a long time.
Akuma, or Izuku Yotsubashi, or Midoriya did not look at all like Izumi. Not a bit. Not in a million years would he look like Izumi fucking Midoriya.
Not saying that either of them didn't look hot, maybe that part of their genes were there.
But he had shining white hair, was very lanky, almost as if he needed a meal or he'd die. But he seemed to have very good taste in clothing, based on the clothes he was wearing. One could also see freckles, four of those on each cheek, forming a diamond, so to speak. But his eyes were what was the most notable aspect. They were light version of azure, like as if it was lit in the moonlight, giving him a mysterious and powerful vibe.
Then there was the way he carried himself. He looked like some royal being, carrying himself with the authority of an emperor. And it felt that way around you. He looked like a predator in hiding, waiting to strike when he pleased.
Hisoshi felt a bit of anger when he looked at him, thinking that the guy must have had a powerful quirk. But he was very surprised when Scarface nearly burnt Mcsplode, with blue flames.
All in all, a very tiring day.
And he had no way to rest it out, since Insomnia was a bitch.
He had no motive, nor did he feel like it. Going down to the kitchen, taking some food, and going to the common room on the floor between the heroes' rooms and theirs. None of them had a T.V in the rooms, and they had no reason to watch the telly.
Izuku knew he didn't have insomnia, but he couldn't sleep. He just couldn't. Not without feeling like a failure or thinking about how he could have been better. He overanalysed things, and hindsight, as they say, had a vision of 20.
But he couldn't concentrate on these events now. They already took place, and he knew he had to take his mind off the events unfolding.
He went into the common room, and found that that the T.V did have a gaming system.
Good.
He sat down on one of those bean bags near the thing, and booted the system up. He began to play some game, checking for the most violent one so that he could blow off some steam.
He didn't care about the volume. It wasn't too loud, not louder than a grenade at least. he actually set it down very low, so that the students stay asleep. He didn't need some All-Might wannabe to come here and disturb him.
Not when he was following the damn train.
It was easily an hour, by which he was completely engrossed in the game, and mastering it already. Alright, he may have spent more than an hour.
It was just past midnight now. Luckily, unlike the heroes, he didn't have a curfew. And even if he did, he wasn't going to follow it.
It was then, that a kitten strolled into the room, purring warmly, and jumping onto Izuku's crossed thighs. It promptly fell on him.
How lucky.
He continued on for 5 more minutes, before another kitten entered. And another. And another.
It followed, but within 15 minutes, Izuku was swarmed by 12 warm and adorable kittens, along with two larger ones, mewling and purring and warming themselves on him. He switched the game off, and decided to stick with them. After all, he was told that animal therapy was the best.
Playing with them helped him a lot, and after an hour of cuddles, left the Midnight's Children in the room, going to his room for some well-deserved sleep.
On his way out, he saw a purple-haired dude wandering around. He froze when they passed each other, but Izuku carried on.
He reached his room, and promptly fell on his cot.
The uniform looked strange on him. And yes,he didn't want to wear something so uncomfortable. All that money and they couldn't even wear comfy uniforms?
The bourgeois sure were getting haughty.
So, to lessen the suffering, he wore his own shirt to accomodate for the itchy sensation he could feel when wearing the darned suit.
He walked out of his room, while wearing his gloves, his shoes shining, and his uniform completely fitting and tidy. On the other hand, there were Dabi and Toga, who paid no heed to the decorum. He just sighed and let them do as they weren't comfortable with it, and again, it was their fashion sense.
Spinner, luckily wore the uniform the way he did. Nobody wants to be the odd one out, especially when you are in enemy lines.
They proceeded to the breakfast hall, and noting that it was abandoned, they proceeded to make their own.
Izuku was confused by the petulance the heroes held. Who didn't have their breakfast at 5:30 in the morning?
The idea that they woke up later chilled Izuku to the bone, and he proceeded to bite down on the solitary pancake he cooked for himself. Toga took 15 of those, Dabi took 10, and Spinner, the kind soul he was, helped Izuku clean the utensils and placed them along with Izuku for his 10 pancakes.
They finished quickly, eating in a professional and tidy manner, and also cleaned the utensils, while having a discussion on which hero looks the most constipated. It was a close battle between Endeavour and Yoroi Musha, but Endeavor barely managed to win. It wasn't a close battle in all honesty, Endeavor won, hands down.
This was the one place where he was Number One. For once in his life, the man became the first in anything.
They took their disgusting, perfidious, sickening, yellow All-Might-themed bags(TM), filled with even more disgusting All-Might themed notebooks. Even the stationary was fucking All-Might themed, with that dirty grin staring at him from all angles.
He felt a tremor, and even they shuddered, looking at all that. They silently walked to class, trying to forget the horrors within their own bags.
They reached class by 6:00, and noticing that it was empty, they began to glance through their textbooks. Toga looked fine, and so did Spinner. If they were confident, so was he.
And who did Calculus at this age? Were they 9th graders, to make mistakes in fucking Calculus?
It was going to be a long day
Iida Tenya and Ochako Uraraka had a heart attack when the Rehab students didn't respond to any of their calls. A few knocks, for respect's sake. And when they didn't respond to Iida's boisterous calls, they opened the doors, only to be greeted by a gust of wind. The dorms were brought under Code Red, the first time it was issued. Iida was extremely disappointed, at the rehab students, and himself, for some reason.
It was all for nought when the Rehab students were found to be studying in the class. Apparently, they were surprised when told that class begins at 8. They had already finished their breakfasts, and were waiting in the class,for class to begin, and were coursing through the text books.
It was 8, when the hero students slowly shuffled into class, and saw Toga trying to catch Izuku's tail.
Wait, he had a tail?
This was a confusing time for everyone.
Once they managed to stifle Katsuki's Wrath and Anger, with the help of Aizawa-sensei, Homeroom began.
Izuku then raised his hand, in a polite yet suave manner.
"Go on, Problem Child", was Aizawa-san's bored response.
"Is this an out of season April Fool's joke?"
A smile formed on Aizawa's lips, as he let the boy continue.
"The books contain 8th grade syllabus. All of us have finished the subject portions in our 6th grade."
Cue Momo Yaoyorozu.
"If it was 8th grade syllabus how come you finished it in 6th grade?"
The following words shocked and terrified the most of the students. Ashido, Kaminari and Kirishima already felt they were a part of a horror movie. They hoped the Rehab students would be bad at studies, so that they didn't have to be the worst in the class.
Izuku's face darkened, morphed into a visage of anger. He managed to grit the following words.
"Hard work".
And pandemonium ensued, with all the students in uproar.
Aizawa barely managed to . Damn. Class.
The day was horrendous for Izuku and co.
First, they were told to stick with the syllabus, since they were ahead of the curve. Then, he got bored out of his wits at the way the teachers tried to teach the kids.
He promptly decided to atleast catch up on his lost sleep by taking a nap.
But no! Apparently the teachers think he was some sort of retard. And Ectoplasm had a haughty grin on his face when he asked him to solve a problem on the board.
"Answer's 462", he said, with a sleepy grin and bored face.
The shock on the hero's face was one to remember.
"I-it's correct!"
And once again, the class went into an uproar, with Izuku sending an expressly delivered 'Shit-eating grin' to Ectoplasm for the hero to see.
Today was a good day.
It was lunch time, and from the rumors that they gathered, it was heavenly.
They proceeded down the hall, confidently, and Izuku was reading copy of 'The Last Mughal', when some jerk smashed into him, very much on purpose.
His book fell on the ground, with a small thud, as it was quite heavy. He looked at the guy who walked right into him, only seeing a smug expression, and not much of a face.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have hurt the poor little villain now! You villains look so pathetic"
He turned, and Izuku who picked up his book, said,
"I saw your grades when Ectoplasm was correcting your class' tests..."
Smug-face turned to see him, shock on his face.
"Your grades are so pathetic", Izuku said it, as loudly as possible.
"How could somebody get only a 15 in Mathematics. Even a toddler would get more than that. AND IN AN MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST"
Izuku began to laugh loudly as his grades, with Dabi and Spinner shoving the other, while he screamed for Izuku's head.
Today was a good day.
They sat down for their lunch, with Toga ordering two plates of food, and Dabi and Spinner ordering one. Izuku just took a cold soba and some fruit juice.
He didn't want to stuff himself to death. But one could let loose once in a while.
He was about to begin eating when a robotic hand came in front of him.
He groaned, and looked up to see Iida Tenya and Itsuka Kendou asking the group if they could join them.
No matter what they said, the two sat down, and the table was joined by Momo Yaoyorozu and Hitoshi Shinsou, and one very interested Izumi Midoriya.
The moment they did begin to speak, Izuku left very suddenly, and while his friends just shrugged it off. Iida nearly got a heart attack though, while the others were just interested in how his tail was so life-like, while he managed to sleep through every class, and who managed to answer every damn question when woken up.
They got a pretty good view of his tail, but were very surprised when they saw His Majesty's huge appetite. He was scrawny, sure, but what he had for lunch was what what Yaoyorozu had when she was dieting.
He looked scrawny and always looked like he was illuminated by moonlight.
"Oh don't worry about him. He's just excited. Heroics Class is next right."
"Oh, All-Might's class..."
Yaoyorozu was about to continue her words, but the grin on all the Rehab Kids' faces sent a shiver down her spine.
If the way he nearly made all the teachers cry in the classes upto now was anything, All-Might would be lucky to come out alive.
Today was a very bad day.
"I'M COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON AGAIN!", said All-Might cheerily as he entered the class. Today was the Rehab class' first day, and he wanted to ensure that thy felt right at place here. He wanted them to be model heroes, and for him to guide them on their way there. He wanted them to be the kind of heroes that...
"You know, no normal person ever does that. But you're All-Might, so are you doing this just to show that there is a difference between normal people and you? Are you acting like some god that we mortals should revere at all costs?"
"Oh no, nothing like that, I just wanted you to feel welcome, and I felt we could break the..."
As All-Might continued muttering, Izuku just snorted and said,
"What an absolute dork. I wonder how people actually revere this guy."
The coolest guy in the room just obliterated All-Might, and the class went into uproar for the umpteenth time today.
Today was a good day
They proceeded to go to Gym Alpha, which was a very regular gym, with mats and all. As they went there, Izuku observed the student's 'costumes', and mentally snorted. They had no armor, and they looked exactly like kids cosplaying.
They got to one of the fighting mats, which was already laid down for them.
"Today, we shall all test your individual prowess. Today, all of you will have one on one combat sessions. This is to find out how proficient you are at combat, and it also helps you on where you stand. Thus you can improve your combat skills effectively.
They were asked to pick balls to choose their opponents. His ball was a grey. As he observed the balls the others held, he saw a grey colored ball on the Angry Pomeranian.
Both of them looked at each other. While the other gave out a constipated expression, a savage grin came out from him.
Today was a good day
It had to be Katsuki vs Izuku. Just had to.
Hope you enjoy the story, and I will finish it as soon as possible.
See ya next time
