A Worthless Quirk
Chapter Twenty-five - Confession
Hello World! I have completely run out of witty openings so I'll just cut straight through the chase and to the point! One of my reviews mentioned that "A Worthless Quirk got recommended on a subreddit forum! I got super excited about this. But the reviewer, Domoko, doesn't allow pm's so I can't reply.
So basically, if you have the link to this forum would you please send it to me?(edit: thank you tko2088! I got it!) Any who!
(Disclaimer: I do not own Boku no Hero Academia!)
"Hello Listeners!" Present Mic started, "Now that Todoroki-kun has finished melting the giant ice wall he created, we will begin the next match!"
"Next up, Yosetsu Awase vs. Fumikage Tomoyami." Eraser-head's expression remained unchanged.
"Wait what? I thought that Awase-kun had been eliminated?"
"What kind of idiot are you? Since two of Shinsou's members quit we decided to get two of the members from one of the other teams."
"WHAT!? Such an important event happened without me knowing about it!?"
"You say important, but all they did was have a rock paper scissors tournament... Yaoyorozu and Awase won..."
"WHAT!?" Present Mic shook his head, "It sounds like you made some form of mistake and are making up a story to cover up..."
"Don't over think it..."
"Ready? Dark Shadow!?" Fumikage asked his quirk.
"Ayo!"
"Dark Shadow is so cool!" Izuku said, stars shining in his eyes, "A fast reliable quirk that has it's own personality! Think about it! Once Tokoyami-kun goes pro kids would actually like Dark Shadow! He looks cute enough when he's not fighting, but he will also be loved by teens because of how cool he looks when fighting!"
"Man, why weren't you in the business classes?" Denki asked the rabid fanboy.
"Oi, idiot!" A voice yelled.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Denki spun around, lightning flickering in his eyes.
Kyouka laughed, "You were the one who responded to it!"
Denki stopped to think for 10 seconds, "Shoot!"
"Anyways, Ochako is doing ok. Don't worry Midoriya, she's not upset with you."
"Then what's wrong?" Izuku asked concerned.
"Girl stuff. Don't pry into other people's business."
"Says the girl who eavesdrop on the boy's locker room!" Denki muttered under his breath.
"That was protection against a certain pervert." She argued.
"Don't call me a pervert!" Denki instantly retorted. Kyouka began giggling again.
"Kaminari-kun... I think she's talking about Mineta-kun..." Denki looked down in embarrassment as Kyouka continued laughing at him, "Wait, is Uraraka-san alone right now?" Izuku asked.
"What? Nah, she's with Tsuyu!"
"Are you not in love with Midoriya-chan?" Tsuyu asked bluntly. Ochako blushed and suddenly discovered that her feet were very interesting. Since they were so interesting, she decided to stare at them and ignore everything else going on around her.
"Ochako-chan. You've been avoiding this for far to long, the readers are getting tired."
"W-what does t-that mean!?"
"Figure of speech." Tsuyu turned to the fight, Fumikage was slowly pushing back his opponent who was trying to get in closer.
Ochako sighed, "I dunno... I don't really know much about love..."
"How cute, Ochako-chan's first love."
"Don't phrase it like that!"
Tsuyu closed her eyes and smiled, "You two are far too innocent..."
"Winner, Fumikage Tokoyami!"
"Iida-kun and Shouji-kun are up next!" Izuku commented excitedly.
"Yeah. Who do you think is gonna win?" Denki asked Kyouka.
"Definitely Shouji, he could probably hold back a runaway train. Iida's kicks won't do a thing."
"Sure they will!" Izuku fliped a couple pages on his notebook, "Iida-kun's engines can generate enough force to break through steel!"
"Doesn't that mean he'll break Shouji's fingers?" Denki asked worridly.
"Yeah... I dunno... I want to win and all, but I'm not willing to break my bones in this festival. It kinda ruins the mood, makes everyone get serious."
"Shouji-kun is strong, but will still probably be knocked back if he takes one of Iida-kun's kicks..."
"And that's all that is needed for this contest."
"Start!"
Mezou started running towards Tenya, putting him close to the center of the arena.
"Recipro Burst!" Tenya moved so quickly that someone could have mistaken his quirk for teleporting. He appeared behind Mezou and lashed out with a kick strong enough to crush concrete. Mezou grabbed Tenya's leg all six of his arms.
"Recipro Extend!" Tenya spun, wrenching his leg out of Mezou's grasp. Mezou jumped backwards to put some distance between himself and the spinning top of death feet.
It was a bad move. Tenya landed and kicked off the ground kneeing Mezou right in the gut. Mezou, in response, grabbed and threw him towards the out of bounds line. Tenya fell to the ground, his engines burning his calves.
"Iida-kun is gonna lose... He probably can't move after using his engines that much.
Mezou walked up to Tenya, "It looks like I have been defeated." He said as he offered one of his hands to Tenya.
"Wuh?"
"That last attack was to powerful. I wouldn't be able to fight in the next match." Four of his arms were holding his stomach in pain. The last one was grinning at him, "So what do you say? Do you wanna go on to the next match?"
Tenya took his hand and stood up, his legs still felt like they were on fire, "I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"Winner! Tenya Iida!"
"What's going on next?" Ochako asked.
"Ah. I believed that Hatsume-chan is going to be giving a performance with her... Babies..."
"Eh?"
"GREETINGS EVERYONE! But mostly the big companies!" An exuberant pink haired girl waltzed onto the stage with her arms spread out, "TODAY I WILL BE SHOWING YOU MY BABIES!"
"What does she mean?" Ochako asked Tsuyu.
"Who knows..."
"The first baby I want to show you is this!" She whipped out a gauntlet, "This fine gear can store heat inside of it for over 48 hours! Any heroes with fire, explosions, lasers, or anything that conducts a lot of heat can use this to-"
Tsuyu grinned, "she reminds me a lot of Midoriya-chan!" Ochako did her best to ignore her.
Forty Minutes later...
"AND THIS BABY IS USED FOR STEALTH OPERATIO-"
"Hatsume-san..." Mei Hatsume turned to Number 13.
"Yes?"
"Could you wrap things up? I know that you wanted to do a merchandise show instead of an actual fight, but we need to be continuing the tournament..."
"Ah! You are right! I apologize, I lost track of time when I was talking about my Babies... And this one can-"
"One minute." Number 13 said firmly.
"Fine..." Mei turned to the audience, "FOR MY LAST BABY I NEED TWO VOLUNTEERS!" She grinned as she scanned the bleachers. Her quirk, zoom, allowed her to locate her targets instantly, "YOU THERE! BOY WITH THE GREEN HAIR! AND YOU! GIRL WITH WHO JUST TURNED BRIGHT RED!"
Both Izuku and Ochako were quickly pulled over by cementoss who wanted to end Mei's act as soon as possible.
"Good! Good!" She held up two headbands, "Big support companies, behold! First I would like to say, these babies are the pride and joy of class 1-H! We've spent many hours working on these! After studying the pro hero Mandalay, we have replicated her telepathy with Telepathic Headbands! These are perfect for operations that require teamwork! They are always clear, no one can jam the connection, and they can be used without making any noise! Now watch as I put them on our volunteers!" Despite their protests, Mei shoved the two headbands on their heads.
Izuku felt the headband's pressure on his forehead.
It felt strange.
But it also felt comfortable.
Like there was another presence in his mind.
One besides his own.
Then a voice came into his mind.
A thought that didn't belong to him.
"I love Deku-kun..."
The end! I'm done writing! Have a good life my loyal readers!
JK! Sorry guys who actually believed me! I figured that if you had been reading to this point you would understand that I wasn't done yet! I also thought that people would know that I'm not always serious with my author's notes
Anywho, I should get another chapter out within the week. I'm gonna try to finish the tournament all in one fell swoop! So stay tuned!(again, sorry to those who believed my troll. That was just a way to make the cliffhanger seem really realistic)
