Chapter 4: New Friend and Attack!
"It's really astonishing! Even after a week of the announcement, fans all over are still in shock from the news that the popular teen idol, Chissoko Saiko, stated that she would be taking a hiatus for an undetermined amount of time!"
Click.
"Those people ultra need to get a life."
Saiai let out a sigh as she fixed her school uniform while looking on the full-body mirror she had.
It was early in the morning and she had just eaten breakfast, regular stuff like cereal and chocolate. The only thing she had left to do was leave the apartment and lock the door before heading off to Yuuei Academy.
She hummed a song with earphones shoved in her ears while she walked. She knew she didn't live near anyone in her class, so she didn't have to wait at any place for anyone. She was planning on meeting with the same trio of guys that she had met the day prior.
She had found out who she would like and who she wouldn't in her class. Two of the three she planned on meeting up with were ones she would enjoy messing around with while the one with what looked like grapes on his head would be placed on her "beat if he gets too close" list.
"Well, at least I super don't have to worry about-"
BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEP!
Before she knew what had happened, Saiai was sent flying through the air as the car that ran into her stopped. The person in the car quickly got out to check on her, along with the people around them.
"Oh my god! Someone call an ambulance! Hur-"
"It's ultra okay." Saiai stood back up and dusted herself off as if she didn't just get hit by a good sized car going who know how many miles per hour. "I'd super worry more about your car."
"H-huh...?" Looking back at his car, the guy saw a giant dent on the front that looked like another car had just crashed into it. "Wha-!? But how!?"
"It's my Quirk," Saiai said as she picked up her bag. "Getting a hit from a car isn't really much. A wrecking ball on the other hand..." Shaking her head, Saiai started to take her leave. "Hope you get that fixed, dude."
She could hear murmurs from the people around while the guy was crying over his car. He clearly didn't blame her for that, which she was appreciative of. She didn't want to argue with someone when she was on her way to school.
"Wow. Are you sure you're alright? That car was going pretty fast."
Lazily turning her gaze to the side, Saiai saw a girl with blond hair and green eyes looking at her with a look of concern. She didn't say anything at first, but simply nodded her head after a few seconds. She wasn't trying to be rude, but when she saw the other girl's uniform she couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't seen her before.
"I'm Kendou Itsuka, by the way. It's nice to meet you," the girl said with a kind smile as she helped the brunette to her feet. "What class are you in? I'm from 1-B."
"Saiai. Class 1-A."
"So you're in a hero course too, huh? What's it like in there?"
"Interesting. There are fun people in it, so it's not too boring." Giving another lazy side glance, she continued. "What about you? How's your class? Oh yeah, Hajime's in you class, isn't he?"
"Oh? You know Hajime-kun?"
"Yeah. I met him yesterday. Dude's kinda boring, but I guess there always needs to be some stoic, cool character in these things." Saiai put her hand to her chin as she muttered "But then again... We have Todoroki..."
"These things?"
"Nothing. So, about my question..."
"Oh. Right. It's pretty nice in our class. Definitely not as loud as your class though. The school year's barely started and we could already hear you guys next door."
"I'm super not apologizing for that."
"I wouldn't expect you too." Kendou gave a small laugh as the two made it on the train. "Besides, Hajime-kun's said some stuff about a 'Nami' and 'Ojiro.' They seem like fun people."
"Hm. Him actually says lots of stuff about anything would super be something to see."
The two continued their talk, saying different things about their classes as they rode the train. They talked so much that they didn't even notice that they were already at their stop until just before the door closed.
They didn't stop there either, they always found something to talk about. The topics changed so much that they didn't spend more than three minutes on one until they smoothly migrated to a new one. Some were regular topics while others were...not so normal...
"I'm just saying, with Quirks like those, a Mexcian Standoff is the ultra best way to go."
"I see what you mean, but... Ah! But what if they did it so they jump from an exploding building? Like those American action movies?"
"That's super true..."
"And this appears to be the conversation we walk in on... I wonder if we should just leave..."
The two girls turned back to see Denji, Ojiro and Hajime walking up to them with two of them have plain expression while the third looked at the two with an odd smile. The two waited for the boys to catch up before they all started walking towards the building again.
"So I'm guessing these two are the ones you mentioned, Hajime-kun," Kendou said, giving the two boys from 1-A a kind smile. "Hello. I'm Kendou Itsuka."
"Nami Denji... Nice to meet you, Kendou-san," Denji said with his own smile.
'Gah! Too bright! What the heck is this!?' Kendou closed her eyes a bit at seeing the smile. "Y-yeah..."
'And so the smile takes out another one...' The other three let out silent sighs when they saw this.
"I'm Ojiro Mashirao. Hello."
"You weren't right," Kendou whispered to Saiai. "He does look too innocent to be here..."
"Right?"
"Hm? What are you talking about...?" Denji tilted his head to the side. "Whispering in front of people will make them think you're talking about them..."
Saiai shook her head and walked up to Denji. She lightly pulled his cheeks while saying "It's super nothing to worry about, Deji~Wengy~"
"D-Deji...!?" Denji got a blush on his face from being talked to like a child. This wasn't helped as Ojiro and Kendou covered their mouthes to hide their giggles while Hajime had a small upturn of his lips. "Don't laugh...! And what the heck's with the sudden teasing...!? That harem comment from yesterday wasn't enough...!?"
"Sorry, sorry. You're just mega-ultra fun to mess around with," Saiai said with a smirk on her face. "Yesterday super proved it."
Puffing out a his cheeks a bit, Denji looked around. He spotted a familiar green haired boy walking and quockly ran up to him. He grabbed Midoriya's shoulders and shook his a little while saying "Izumi-kun~ Help me out...! Saiai-san's character is changing to fast from last time...!"
"Wh-what...? Nami-kun, please stop shaking me!" Doing as he was told, Denji stopped shaking him and let go of his shoulders while he collected his thoughts. "Now then, what were you saying?"
"Those four...! They're teasing me...!"
Midoriya looked over to where Denji was pointing and saw Saiai and Kendou waving to them while Ojiro was still getting out some laughs. Hajime still had that small upturn on his lips, but Midoriya couldn't see it from this far.
"Um..."
"You've gotta believe me...!"
Midoriya could have sworn he saw dogs ears on Denji's head. He wasn't sure if he should go to Recovery Girl or not. So he opted for a different answer.
"Why don't we just get to class? Just leave them be for now." He now felt he was really hallucinating as the dog ears perked up at this. Without giving it much thought, Midoriya lifted his arm and lightly patted Denji's head. "There, there."
"Wha-!? Izumi-kun...! I'm not a dog!"
"Now for today's training..." Aizawa looked at the whole class as he spoke. "This time, All Might, myself and one other will supervise. You will prepare for disaster relief, from fires to floods," Aizawa said as he held up a card. "It's recuse training!"
'Rescue training, huh? I hound be fine with this one. My multi-purpose Quirk will be one of the best for this. Hm. It's bit even fair,' Denji thought as some of the other students made small comments.
"It's up to each of you whether or not you wear your costumes. As some of them are ill-suited to this sort of activity," Aizawa added while brining out their costumes. "The training site is a bit remote, so we'll be going by bus. That's all. Get ready."
Each student went up to get their costumes before leaving to the changed. While this was happening, Denji let out a sigh. He had been getting a bad feeling in his stomach for a while, but he just chalked it up to accidentally missing lunch again.
"You look super bad. You sure you can go?" Saiai asked, walking up next to him.
"Yeah... Just a little stomach pain, I suppose..."
"Ya wanna go get checked up before we go? I'm sure Aizawa-sensei would understand."
"No, no, no. I'm fine... Really."
"So the little baby needs an ultra pat to get his burp out now?" Saiai covered her grin with her hand when she saw Denji get a small blush again. 'It's ultra easy at times.'
"Saiai-san~ This change in character is too sudden~ It doesn't suit you..."
"Hey now, no need to tease him," Kaminari said as he slung an arm around Denji's shoulder. "Especially since there's a chance we'll end up in teams again. He needs to be focused."
"So you think you'll be on his team? Assuming we ultra have teams?"
"Well, if we can choose our teams, then I definitely want to be on this guy's team. His Quirk can do tons of things, so he doesn't have to worry about passing or not."
"Wow, Denji-chan. Your magnetic personality sure attracts super turds."
"Kaminari-san is right though. Nami-san will probably had it easy with his Quirk." Yaoyorozu gave the comment as she passed the three.
"Ah...! I've been meaning to ask you some things, Mozu-san..." Seeing the girl raise an eyebrow at this, Denji continued on. "You're one of, if not the smartest person in our class, right...?"
"Wh-what? We'll my grades are some of the best... Why?"
"I wanted to ask you for some help..." Denji moved away from Kaminari, not noticing the small pout the blond gave. "I just wanted to know-..."
Saiai watched with a small smirk as Denji and Yaoyorozu went on discussing whatever it was they were talking about. Meanwhile, she could see Kaminari with the pout still on his face. He had gone to talk to Kirishima, but he still didn't look too happy.
'These three will be super entertaining~'
"It was this type of bus!"
Denji could only give a small laugh from his spot next to a sleeping Todoroki. When the clas had gotten to their bus, Iida started telling them where they would all be seated, thinking it was like a regular school bus. It had turned out that the bus was more like a public one, meaning that his arrangement had no point.
Denji had given him a pat on the back out of pity before he had taken his seat. He had been one if the last ones on the bus, so he figured he would just sit with the dual-colored hair guy next to him and Yaoyorozu in front of him.
There was a silence between them all while they waited to get to their stop. The silence didn't last long though as Asui decided she would point something out.
"I generally say what's on my mind, Midoriya-chan."
"Oh!? What is it, Asui-san!?" Midoriya asked, shocked that she would suddenly start talking to him.
"Just call me 'Tsuyu-chan,'" she said before turning to him. "Your Quirk resembles All Might's."
Denji had perked up at hearing this. When he thought back he had noticed that what Asui had said was true. There was something wrong with it though...
"Hold up, Tsuyu-chan. All Might doesn't get hurt when he fights," Kirishima pointed out. "They're different in that way. But that sort of simple, strength-enhancing Quirk is awesome! You can do a lot of cool stuff with it!" As if to make a point, he held out his arm and used his Quirk. "Not like my Hardening. It's great in a fight, but that's all there is."
"I think that's really neat though, though. Your Quirk's more than enough to go pro," Midoriya said with a small sparkle in his eyes.
"You think so!? But don't forget that heroes have to worry about popularity."
"My Navel Laser is both strong and cool. Perfect for a hero," Aoyama said smugly. His smug look turned dark after just one comment from Ashido though.
"You wanna talk about strong and cool? That'd be Todoroki, Bakugou and Nami."
After hearing his name mentioned, Denji ducked his head while Bakugou clicked his tongue.
"But Bakugou's so unhinged," Asui added in. "He'd never be popular."
"What'd ya say, Frog-face!?"
"See."
"We've only early started socializing and already you've made it abundantly clear to us the unpleasantness of your steamed turd of a personality."
As the yelling went on, from Bakugou that is, Denji placed his hands over Todoroki's ears while trying to holding in some laughter. He didn't want his classmate to wake up from all the loudness only a few seats up.
What he didn't notice was that Todoroki had woken up already, but not from the yelling. He woke up from the hands placed on both sides of his head, he just didn't say anything. He closed his eyes again and just tried to get back to sleep.
He didn't really have much time though as Aizawa announced that they has reached their destination.
When the bus stopped in front of the large building the whole class started to leave it. With Iida "guiding" everyone they exited the vehicle in a quick and orderly fashion.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about your costume..." Denji turned to Saiai as he said this. "That's quite...interesting... Were you going for a ninja vibe, or something...?"
Saiai's costume consisted of a tight-fitting kimono-like outfit that had the middle and both sleeves cut off. The material used for the kimono-like outfit seemed to be made of elastic fibers to make movement easy. On her feet were a type of sandals with thin straps stretched up to around her knees. To finish it off she had a chain wrapped around her waist and a pouch behind her.
"Not really. I just super wanted something to move around in. There's not much to hinder me with these clothes, so I'm ultra happy about that." Denji could see that she did enjoy wearing the costume. "My Quirk isn't anything fancy, so the costume doesn't really help. What's in the pouch does though."
"What is your Quirk, anyways...?"
"It's-"
"Whooaaaaa! Is this Universal Studios Japan!?"
The two looked forward to see that the whole building had different areas with one being a landslide area and another covered in rocks. Each area was big in its own right, but when you saw it as a whole you could tell there was a lot to look at.
"Every disaster you can imagine." Denji snapped out of his thoughts and looked forward to see someone in a spacesuit, which yellow boots. "I built this facility myself. I call it... The Unforseen Simulation Joint!"
"It's the Space Hero, 13!" Midoriya exclaimed as he and Uraraka got excited. "He's a gentleman hero who does his best work in rescue scenarios!"
"Oh, I love 13!"
Denji has to cover his mouth and turn away. He was trying not to laugh at how much the two looked like little kids meeting their favorite character at an amusement park for the first time.
When he turned back, he saw 13 and Aizawa talking to each other. He couldn't hear them, but he saw 13 hold up three fingers. He didnt say anything and pretended he was paying attention to something else entirely.
"Before we start, I have one or two points," 13 said as he held up two fingers. "Or three... Or four... Possibly five..." As he spoke, 13 added a new finger for each number he added. "As I'm sure many of you are aware... My Quirk is called Blackhole. It can suck in and tear apart anything."
"And you've used it to save people in all sorts of disasters."
"Indeed... However, my power can easily kill. I've no doubt there are some among you with similar abilities. In our super-powered society, the use of Quirks is heavy restricted and monitored. It may seem that this system is a stable one. But we must nee'e forget that it only takes one wrong move with an uncontrollable Quirk for people to die."
Without even meaning to, Denji put a hand to his chest and lowered his gaze, even if no one could see it. He thought back to certain incidents that had occurred in his life so far and righted his hand into a fist.
He didn't notice that Saiai and Todoroki had seen him do this.
"During Aizawa-senpai's fitness test...you came to learn your own hidden potential. Through All Might's battle training... you experienced the danger that your respective Quirks can pose to others. This class...will show you a new perspective! You will learn to utilize your Quirks to save lives."
Denji lowered his hand, but kept it in a fist. He let out a small sigh before giving a small smile.
"You powers are not meant to inflict harm. I hope you leave here today with the understanding that you're meant to help people." Taking a bow, 13 finished with "That is all! I thank you for listening!"
Denji smiled again when he saw Midoriya and Uraraka fawning over 13.
"Remember, kid... What kind of Quirk a person has doesn't determine if they are good or bad, that's up to the person using it. While hurting others in general is never a good thing, using it to help and defend others is never wrong."
Remembering those words, Denji's mind immediately brought up and image of Shinsou. He gave a small chuckle when he thought about how much the words he remembered worked for the blue-grayish haired boy.
"Great. Now, first off..." Aizawa started. He stopped when he noticed something on the lower level. "Hm?"
A small, black whole seemed to be appearing in what looked like mist. A hand came through the hole. It was quickly followed by a face. The face was covered up by a hand, but the look from the single eye that could be seen was menacing enough to put Aizawa to action.
"Get together and don't move! 13! Protect the students!"
It didn't take long for multiple bodies to come through the hole.
"What the heck's that? More robots?"
"Don't move. Those are...villains!"
"13...and Eraserhead, is it...?" a black, mist man said, looking up at the heroes. "According to the staff schedule I received the other day... All Might is supposed to be here..."
"Where is he...?" The man with the hand on his face spoke in a raspy voice. "We've come all this way. And brought so many playmates... All Might... The Symbol of Peace...is he here...? I wonder if some dead kids will bring him here?"
"Villains!? No way!"
"What villains'd be dumb enough to sneak into a school for heroes!?"
"Are they only hero, or also at the main building...?" Todoroki noted. "Either way, if the sensors aren't working... It has to be one of their Quirks that's doing it." He turned to Denji as he said "Nami, do you think you would be able to get through the hacking?"
"A-ah... I'm not so sure... If the person using the Quirk is stronger than me I won't be able to do much... Not to mention I can't do anything if they're directly interfering with the sensors... Sorry..."
"It's fine. This place is far from the campus. And they picked a time when there'd be few people here... So maybe they're not as dumb as they seem. They must have an objective. Because this is a well-coordinated sneak attack."
"13! Begin evacuation! And try calling the school! One of these villains must be jamming the sensors. There's a good chance one of their electric-types is causing this. Kaminari, try using your Quirk to signal for help. Nami, try and help him with that."
"Got it!"
"Right...!"
"But Sensei, you can't fight the, all alone! Against that many... Even you can't nullify all their Quirks! As Eraserhead, you fighting style involves Erasure and a quick bind capture. Head-on battle isn't..."
"No good hero has only one trick." Aizawa turned from idoriya to 13. "13! Take care of them!"
With that being said and done, Aizawa jumped down and started fighting the villains that went for him. He easily took out multiple enemies in a matter of seconds, astonishing the students.
The students and 13 started to head for the door. Well, Midoriya looked on, making a comment about Aizawa before Iida told him to hurry up and leave with the rest of them. They couldn't get far befor the same mist-like guy from before appeared in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Greetings. We are the League of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but... Today, we've come to Yuuei Academy to end the life of All Might. The Symbol of Peace."
'At least he sounds super nice about it...'
The mist-man started talking again, but stopped when Bakugou and Kirishima were in front if him, ready to attack. Just as the attacks seemed to have landed, the mist-man started reforming himself with ease as 13 got ready to suck him in.
"Begone!"
The mist started to envelope them all, not giving them much time to react.
Some were able to escape it by moving to the sides, but others were compelled covered in it. When the mist disappeared it was shown that the students that were stuck in it had also disappeared.
"Just one? Ha! This won't take long!"
"This poor brat doesn't know what he's in for."
"Let's just put him to sleep, so he doesn't have to be in too much pain."
Denji looked around to see that he was surrounded by multiple villains. He also noted that the area he was in seemed to be one filled with multiple holes and collapsed buildings. He could hear the villains talking, taunting him, but he didn't bother giving them his full attention.
'They just said I was the only one sent here, so that means none of them are around.' Opening his eyes, Denji got a smug look on his face that seemed odd on his face, yet it also seemed to fit in perfectly. "So that means I can have a little more confidence here, right?"
The ground started to shake a bit, causing some of the villains to lose their balance.
"Wha-what the heck is going on!?"
Sparks danced across the brunet's hands.
"Is this that brat's doing!?"
Objects started moving.
"Who cares! Get him!"
All the villains rushed at Denji with the intent of completely destroying him. They clearly didn't care if he was still just a high schooler or not, they would attack him until he was on the floor, beaten, bloody and crying his eyes out.
WOOOOOSH!
FWOOOOOOM!
Or so they thought.
Multiple villains were shocked when they were sent flying by the destroyed buildings on the ground. They had just gotten hit by large pieces of concrete that could have easily smashed their bones if a certain someone didn't slow them down.
Others were laying on the floor with some blood coming off of them while a black substance hung over their heads. The black substance had the potential to vibrate so fast that it would cut faster and more cleanly than any chainsaw made. This black substance was known as iron sand.
Iron sand and rubble from the destroyed buildings. These things were being used as weapons for the one who had control over magnetism. They floated around him like the rings of Saturn as he stood there, hat on head and grin in place.
"You all wouldn't mind if I went over 70%, would you?"
The villains in this area had seen the mistake they had made.
And there you have it! I hope you all enjoyed!
Until next time... Bye!
