"Alright, today you'll be trying to do things with your Quirks that you've never done before." Aizawa told the class. He was still wrapped from head to toe in bandages, but that didn't stop him from doing his duty as a teacher.
The Yuuei Sports Festival was steadily growing closer, and Aizawa had taken the class to the P.E. grounds in order to train with their quirks. "I don't get it." Kaminari muttered, not understanding the task at hand.
Aizawa sighed, his bandages ruffling. "Let me give an example. Todoroki." He called upon the honour student. "Your quirk is Fire and Ice correct." The boy nodded. "Try make some water." The request was strange, but Todoroki tried his best to comply.
He put both his hands together, and shortly afterwards water began dripping from them. The class seemed to understand what they were being asked. "Something you've never done before. Whether it means exceeding a limit or trying something new. Try it." With that, he sat down on a lawn chair that was brought there to aid him with the recovery.
Everyone began wandering around, grabbing partners or going off on their own. Jutsu had planned to go off on his own and train, but he was grabbed by the back of his P.E. tracksuit. "Nuh uh." He recognised the voice of Kodai. "I need your nerdiness to train."
"What nerdiness?!" Jutsu complained as he was dragged off by the girl. She eventually released him and grabbed their own patch of dirt to train in.
"Your dino nerdiness." Kodai told him. Jutsu instantly gained a blush on his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Jutsu replied, looking anywhere but Kodai's face.
"Oh please." Kodai said, putting a hand on her hip. "You're always so knowledgeable when it comes to what I can turn into. And I'm hoping that's not because you're some weird stalker."
"I'm not Mineta." Jutsu rebutted, his eyes briefly searching the grounds to see if he could locate the purple pervert. "And I just know about dinosaurs! That's not nerdy." He defended.
"Who was the fastest dinosaur?" Kodai questioned.
"Dromiceiomimus." Jutsu answered immediately. He then slapped his hand over his mouth upon realising he had given the correct answer. Kodai smirked at him.
"See! Even I don't even know how to pronounce that!" She clapped Jutsu on the back. "So all I need you to do, is tell me some cool dinosaurs, and what they looked like. That way I'll be trying new things." Jutsu frowned at this one sided deal.
"And me?" He questioned. Kodai made the 'I dunno' sound. Jutsu sighed. "Look, I need to train too." He told her. "I'll give you two, and train while you're practicing them." Kodai smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright, so Dromiceiomimus was an herbivore that could run up to 60kmph." He informed her. Kodai nodded, taking in the information. Jutsu stopped to try and think of another dinosaur. "And a Plesiosaur was an aquatic dinosaur that-" "No." Kodai interrupted.
"I'm sorry?" Jutsu wanted to know the reasoning behind the interruption.
"No water ones. Ever." She warned him. "I'm just going to try with the Drocimemius or whatever. Ok Jutsu?"
Jutsu realised he had somehow struck a nerve. It must be serious if she went back to calling him by his surname. He wanted to help, but he also had to train. Aizawa would probably give out to him. He wondered what he could do that he hadn't done before.
"I wonder…" He thought, looking at his feet. Taking off one of his shoes, Jutsu took a stance. He knew how to turn his hands into drills. He wondered if he could do it with his feet. Concentrating, Jutsu managed to turn his right foot into a drill. "It worked." Jutsu was surprised.
"Now, will it spin?" Jutsu activated the drill, and instantly regretted it. He spun rapidly in a circle for roughly five seconds. The only reason he stopped was because he had fallen to the ground. "Ohhhhh that was a bad idea." He muttered, staring up at the sky and wondering why it was spinning. He managed to get up on all fours, but felt a surging sensation in his stomach.
"I'm not throwing up. I'm not throwing up. I might throw up. I'm gonna throw up." He slapped both of his hands against his mouth, determined not to lose his lunch. He worked hard on that bento, it's not going to come back out. When he managed to keep his lunch down, he stood back up wobbly.
"Not doing that again." He decided. "Although," He looked at his hands and concentrated on the jet engines. "Maybe this'll work." A few seconds later, both of his hands were now the boosters he commonly turned his feet into. "So if I…" he trailed off and activated them.
He was sent flying backwards, having not expected the power that came from the engines. He landed roughly on the ground with his engines still activated. "I'm just gonna stick to what I know." He grumbled, standing up on his feet once more. "That's two I've tried. Maybe I should check on Kodai now." He began looking around for his reptilian friend.
He suddenly sniffed the air. "Something's burning."
"Jutsu!" A voice shouted. He, as well as several others on the grounds, turned to see who was shouting. It was Ashido, and she was pointing at Jutsu.
Jutsu, confused, looked down at himself to see what she was on about. "OH FUCK!" He exclaimed, having not noticed the fact that his clothes were currently ablaze. "Shitshitshitshitshit!" He repeated, his hands bashing the flames trying to kill them.
"Todoroki!" Someone exclaimed. Soon afterwards, Jutsu found his body encapsulated by ice. He let out a long sigh of relief.
"Ahhhh, thank's Todororoki." His mind was still somewhat in panic mode. His saviour approached him slowly.
"You really shouldn't play with fire." He told him. Jutsu could see the ghost of a smirk on his face as he used his own quirk to melt Jutsu's icy prison. He fell to the ground, panting heavily after being freed from the ice.
"That's two I owe you." Jutsu informed him. Todoroki just nodded. Everyone soon crowded around Jutsu to make sure he was ok.
"How did you not realise you were on fire dude?" Kirishima asked him.
"I was distracted." Jutsu replied honestly. His eyes briefly flickering to Kodai. Kodai happened to be staring at his eyes at that exact moment, and thus their eyes met.
"A hero shouldn't get distracted." Came the voice of their teacher. Everyone turned to see Aizawa the Mummy standing outside of the group, his head facing Jutsu. "If you get distracted in the heat of battle, a lot more dangerous things can happen then catching on fire."
Jutsu had to agree, looking down at his charred P.E. outfit. The bottoms were relatively unharmed, but the top was burnt to a crisp. It appeared to be flaking away and would probably fall apart if he so much as lifted an arm. "Make sure it doesn't happen again." Aizawa told him.
"Yes Sensei!" Jutsu responded, saluting him. Unfortunately, as he brought his arm up to salute, his shirt began to fall apart, ripping at the seams. The cloth turned to ash and fell to the ground at his feet. "Well shit. I'm gonna have to pay for that amn't I." Jutsu said, looking down at the ash.
"Dude." Kaminari stated. "That is so unfair." He was staring at Jutsu's torso. In fact, the majority of the class were staring at his torso, each of them thinking very different things. He had an exceptionally muscular chest, as well as a whole museum's worth of scars. Jutsu suddenly became very self-conscious.
"You can stop looking!" He exclaimed, covering his chest similar to how a woman might if she was caught in the nude. A few people apologised and turned away, but the rest kept looking. Jutsu flushed red. "Sensei, can I please go get another shirt." He begged.
Aizawa seemed to smirk underneath his bandages. "Nope. You could burn another one. Consider this your punishment for destroying school property." Jutsu could practically hear the shit-eating grin Aizawa was sporting. He made several complicated hand gestures in denial and frustration that would make Iida proud.
He stalked off away from the group to find a place where no one could easily see him or his top half. "Punishment for him, pleasure for the girls." Sero stated as he and the rest of his band of misfits, Kaminari, Kirishima and Mineta, watched him stalk off. Mineta glared at the muscular boy, who had practically all of the female's in the class's eyes on him. As well as one in the building with a zooming quirk.
"How the hell did he hide that in the changing room?" Kaminari wanted to know. Of all the times they had changed together, not once did they ever see, that. "And under his uniform?"
"I don't know, but it does explain how he was able to hold us all up." Kirishima recalled how not too long ago, Jutsu had managed to hold up six people without fail. "I mean jeez, he looks like a miniature All Might. Minus the blonde."
"And all those scars," Sero added. "Wonder how he got them."
While that group of four watched the boy and wondered about how he got his scars, a different group of five watched him in just wonder. "Holy crap." Ashido murmured, staring at Jutsu's body.
"…Five, six, seven, eight. He has an eight pack. Ribbit." Tsuyu counted.
"He's totally shredded." Kodai stared in wonder.
"He's got a 'V line'." Jirou stared above the boys waist.
"He's been hurt." Yaoyorozu commented. She did not think the same way about Jutsu as the others apparently did, simply seeing him as a strong person. The others stopped ogling his body and realised what she meant. They only saw the scars as added charm, not once considering where they could have come from.
"Well, he was fighting with the villains so maybe that's where." Ashido offered.
"No. They're old. They must have been at least a few months, or maybe years old." Tsuyu clarified.
"Well we have to find out how." Jirou decided, and everyone agreed with her.
"But who do we get to ask him?" Kodai questioned. Each of the girls heads turned to her. "Me?" She asked, pointing a finger at herself.
"You have the best relationship with him." Yaoyorozu stated. Each girl agreed, somewhat begrudgingly.
"So you want me to ask him how he got so ripped?" Kodai clarified.
Yaoyorozu looked like she was about to disagree, but decided against it. "Well, that too. But mostly about the scars." Kodai nodded and marched over to Jutsu, intent on talking to him and discovering where his scars came from. And definitely not to stare at that rocking bod. Definitely not.
"Hey Kagaku." Jutsu called. Jutsu jumped a foot in the air and let out a small scream. However, once seeing that it was Kodai he calmed down.
"Oh, Kodai. Hey." He said, his hand resting on his heart to try and calm it down. Kodai followed is hand and watched it come to rest on his chest. She stared at his chest for a while, not realising what she was doing. "Hey." Jutsu clicked his fingers together, snapping Kodai back to reality. "My eyes are up here."
"Sorry. I was just wondering what's with the scar show." Jutsu pointed at a particularly large one that ran from his waistline all the way up to his chest. Jutsu frowned.
"I'm clumsy." He told her. Kodai raised an eyebrow, not believing that for a second. "I'm serious! You saw what happened earlier when I accidentally set myself on fire. I've cut myself more times than I can count due to my own stupidity. The majority of these are all my own doing."
"And what about those that aren't because of you." Kodai questioned. Jutsu turned away from her, not wanting to answer. "Kagaku?"
"They aren't mine. What more do you want to know?" Jutsu replied coldly.
"How you got them." Kodai told him, not leaving him room to disagree.
"I don't know why it matters. They're my scars, my problems. Not yours." If there was one thing Jutsu hated, it was shoving his own problems onto others.
"Because you're my friend. Friends share problems. Friends help each other." Kodai argued. She would not let a friend be unhappy. That was out of the question completely.
"Well then why did you go all serious when I tried to help you?" Jutsu shot right back. Kodai gasped and looked away from him.
"That's, that's not important." Kodai tried to dismiss it. "We're talking about you right now."
"Nononono." Jutsu shook a finger. "You don't get out of it that easy. You wouldn't let me walk away from a question like that, and I'm not letting you get away with yours."
"Fine!" Kodai gave up. "I'm scared of the water ok. I can't do aquatic dinosaurs, I almost drowned trying to imitate one!" She had small tears in her eyes, which played at Jutsu's heartstrings.
"K-Kodai, I'm sorry. I didn't know." Jutsu tried to console her.
"It's fine. You couldn't have known. You were only trying to help." Kodai reassured him. Jutsu still saw it as something that was obviously a touchy subject.
"My sisters." Jutsu said, causing Kodai to look at him with confusion. "Most of my scars are thanks to them. Or rather, guys who tried to pick on them."
"I didn't know you even had sisters." Kodai said in disbelief. Jutsu chuckled.
"Yeah, I've got four." He held up four fingers. "One of them is older than me by a few years, she's already got a job. But the other three are all younger. My youngest sister hasn't even discovered her quirk yet."
"But my other sisters are only a year apart. They were both in still in elementary when I was in my second year at Junior High. They were always being picked on because their quirks weren't necessarily strong. And of course that didn't sit well with me, so I was always getting into fights with the guys who picked on them. It's also kind of the reason why I'm not very fond of Mineta. Most of the guys there would always try and peek up their skirt or do something else perverted." Jutsu's fists clenched.
"I always won, but that never meant I walked away unscathed." His hand ran over the largest scar on his chest. "This one I got when one of the kids big brothers tried to put me in my place. He was around twice my height and age. It didn't end well for him." His voice took a darker tone as he finished the story.
"Wow Kagaku, you're amazing." Of all the words Jutsu expected Kodai to say, those were nowhere on the list.
"W-Where the hell'd that come from?" Jutsu demanded, a light blush on his features.
"You were standing up for your sisters and you beat people bigger and stronger than you! Although I guess that means they weren't stronger than you huh?" Kodai said as she bounced up and down on the balls of her feet.
"I was just doing what was right." Jutsu said. "I was hardly gonna let my little sisters be bullied."
"You're a really good guy, you know that Kagaku?" Kodai smiled at him. Jutsu just let out a small but happy sigh.
"Suppose I am. Thanks Kaseki." He grinned at her. Kodai let out a loud gasp and pointed at Jutsu.
"You called me Kaseki! You said my first name!" She smiled widely, showing a mouth full of fangs. Jutsu froze upon realising that he had done so accidentally. "I knew I made a good choice!"
"In what?" Jutsu asked. Kodai suddenly became rather bashful.
"My best friend." She responded sheepishly, pressing the tips of her fingers together. Jutsu gave her a soft smile.
"Guess you did." Kodai's face broke into a wide smile as she jumped in the air for joy. "So, you want me to list off more dinosaurs?" Jutsu offered. "Let you take advantage of my nerdiness?" The joke brought a smirk to Kodai's face.
"Oh, so you finally admit it huh?" She lightly poked Jutsu's bare chest. His face took a shade that matched Kodai's hair.
"Innocent until proven guilty." Jutsu defended, turning away from Kodai so she could only see his back. Surprisingly, his back held no scars. It was then that Kodai remembered her reasoning for approaching him in the first place.
"Oh! I'll be right back. Try not to set yourself on fire till then." Kodai jogged back to the waiting group of girls, not noticing the face Jutsu made at her. Once she reunited with the group, they formed a huddle.
"Ok, so," Kodai began. "Most of his scars are from him being a dumbass and messing up with his quirk." She told them bluntly. The girls were visibly disappointed, hoping for a better story behind the scars. "But…" She continued, causing them to look up in hope.
"Some of them are from when he defended his sisters from bullies." The other girl's eyes glazed over, imaging Jutsu as a shining knight, protecting his sisters from bullies. "And he has this really big one going from here," She pointed at her waist. "to here." She pointed just under her left breast. "Which he got from fighting the big brother of some of the bullies."
The others were amazed at Jutsu displaying such heroic qualities at such a young age. "Oh! I have to go back and train with him." Before she went off to join him in training, she looked back at the group. "Lucky me, huh?" She winked, causing the girls there to become rather red in the face.
Soon afterwards, the training ended, leaving everyone to go get changed in the respective changing rooms. Jutsu would have changed, but the fact he had almost fourteen pairs of eyes on him made him somewhat apprehensive to do so. "Will you stop staring at me!?" Jutsu shouted at them. They all made apologies and turned away from him.
Jutsu managed to get through the school day without any more incidents, and hoped to make it home without any either. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans. "Well hello there." A girl approached Jutsu after school. She had bubblegum pink hair, and her eyes had cross shaped pupils that looked akin to a scope on a rifle. She also seemed to be wearing a strange kind of helmet that had a pair of goggles attached.
"Uh, hi. Can I help you?" Jutsu asked the apparent steampunk loving girl.
"I'm sure you could." The girl responded. "I'm Mei Hatsume. I'm in the Support Department here at Yuuei." Jutsu figured that seeing as she was in uniform. "And I think we can benefit each other very well."
"I'm sorry, 'benefit'?" Jutsu needed clarification. The way she phrased made him think of something that Mineta would probably think.
"Yup. I hear you've got a technology Quirk." She gazed at Jutsu, her eyes making sure to meet his.
"Uh, yeah. I do. Why?" He was beginning to get a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Well, with the Sport's Festival coming up, I'm going to need some help with my cute little babies." She smiled widely at Jutsu, whose jaw had just hit the floor.
"What the hell has me having a technology Quirk got to do with looking after children!?" He exclaimed.
"Psh." Hatsume waved a hand. "Not actual children. My dear babies." She took out a small piece of equipment from her pocket. "My sweet inventions." She held out the device to Jutsu. He took it hesitantly.
"What is it?" He asked, examining the strange steampunky looking object. He noticed a small button on it and, out of curiosity, pushed it. He suddenly felt a jolt of electricity run through him. It wasn't enough to make him supercharged, but it was enough so that he felt like he had just drank around ten cups of coffee.
"Oh just a little something I whipped up. I heard you and electricity make a beautiful combination, so I built a miniature taser. Not enough to hurt, but enough to help you out." Jutsu stared at the device, and then at Hatsume.
"When, did you make this?" He asked.
"Oh, just a little while ago. You see, I was really bored in one of my classes cause engineering is so boring when you already know more than the teacher." Hatsume enlightened Jutsu. "And one of my favourite hobbies to do when bored, look out the window." Jutsu had a bad feeling he knew where this was headed.
"I like to look at the Heroics Department, and see what I can cook up for their suits. And just earlier I looked outside, and I saw something very interesting." Jutsu gulped audibly as Hatsume's eyes became lidded as she stared at him and stepped close. "And boy did I like what I saw."
Jutsu shrunk under her gaze. "And so," She carried on as if nothing happened, back to an upbeat tone. "I decided that if I could get you, someone who works with technology, to help me with my technology, we'd be an unbeatable team."
"I, guess that makes sense." Jutsu figured, scratching the back of his head.
"So, how about you come to my workshop sometime and we can work on items we can use in the Sports Festival." Hatsume smiled, both hands on her hips.
"We?" Jutsu asked.
"Well, yeah." Hatsume said. "We're going to be working together, so we'll share the tech. Or you can just have what's useful to you. Because it'll be a person in the Support Department who gives you the tech during the festival, you can use it."
Jutsu looked down at the mini-taser that Hatsume had given him. He gripped it tightly in his hand and gazed at her, his steely eyes meeting her yellow ones. "Deal." He smirked.
"Great!" Hatsume clapped her hands together, already turning around and beginning to walk away. "It's a date."
"Yeah, sureeeeWAIT WHAT!" Jutsu exclaimed, but Hatsume was already long gone. Jutsu sighed, running both hands through his messy brown hair. "Ohh, what can of worms did I just open?"
Well, looks like Jutsu has *puts on sunglasses* abs of steel. *Present Mic*: "YEAAAAAAAAHH!"
Wow I want to punch myself after writing that. So, we learn a bit more about our protagonist and find out he has more than a few scratches thanks to his quirk. Also, that thing with Mei, yeah that's gonna be fun. Hope you liked this chapter, let me know what you think, and as always, until next time.
