After seeing the news yesterday, Lelouch had called a meeting with the whole Class 1-A in Ground Beta with the use of his wit and his silver tongue.
He was grateful the Principal agreed to his demands or else this whole thing won't even start to begin with.
Currently, Lelouch is now standing on a podium Momo made for him while facing the whole Class 1-A, "By now, all of you probably heard what happened to the Villains we defeated two days ago so I'm just gonna go straight to the point. I'm proposing everyone to use the available free time we have to train here in this very place."
At this, everyone suddenly began asking too many questions before Lelouch could even answer them.
"Quiet! Let him finish! You're all educated individuals, aren't you? So act like one." Yaoyorozu Momo intervened in behalf of Lelouch and her position which resulted in everyone nodding in shame at how accurate her statement is.
"Thanks, Yaoyorozu-san." Lelouch replied before continuing, "Now, I know this is kind of a rushed decision and using our time to train isn't exactly as much fun as anyone might hope. But, do all of you want to be unprepared and uninitiated when a gang of Villains attack again? May I remind everyone here that we came here to become Heroes, Heroes that could inspire hopes and dreams, Heroes that acts in the name of Justice. We didn't came here to be some useless deadweight. We came here to be Heroes! And it's time we prove it once again. So, who's with me?!"
Seeing the reason and logic in his words, everyone quickly had a look of determination and motivation before everyone raised their fists with a mighty shout in agreement.
"Well, Lelouch, now that you got everyone agreeing to this, what's next?" Yaoyorozu questioned.
"This training will be divided into a three membered groups. So form your groups everyone. Chop-chop."
At that, Todoroki and Bakugou quickly ran to Lelouch with a shout of declaration especially Bakugou, "Lelouch! We'll train with you!"
Surprised at the declaration, Lelouch began sweating profusely like no tomorrow as he doesn't actually want to train with them due to them being much more personal and most importantly dangerous but due to his pride, he's not gonna walk away from the challenge, "Okay. It seems we already finished forming our groups. So, we're gonna go train now. Yaoyorozu-san, I leave this things to you for now until everyone finish forming their own groups."
"Of course, Lelouch. You go ahead." Yaoyorozu complied.
With no more on his plate, Lelouch quickly lead Bakugou and Todoroki to a much more suitable and appropriate place where they can unleash their Quirk's full potential.
"Well, this seems to be the right place. So, first, we'll-" Lelouch wasn't able to finish his words when Bakugou suddenly punched him in the face, launching the former Demon Emperor a few meters away.
Todoroki was surprised by the sudden attack but hid it well and nevertheless remained nonchalantly neutral.
"Stay away from this, you Half and Half!" Bakugou threatened before facing Lelouch with a murderous glare, "Come on, pretty boy! Get up!"
"I expected something like this will happen." Lelouch admitted with an all-knowing frown but it was quickly replaced by an amused smugly grin as he slowly picks himself up, "Just didn't thought it would be this sudden and quite direct."
"I'm going to kick your ass, pretty boy! And show your fucking place!" Bakugou arrogantly declared with a puff of his chest.
"Wow. Didn't your mother ever teach you it's not nice to curse?" Lelouch retorted as he summoned his flames on both of his palms before quickly hurling multiple fireballs onto Bakugou who responded by dodging the incoming attacks before quickly using his Quirk to propel himself forward and navigate easily through Lelouch's multiple fireballs.
Realizing his flames couldn't hit Bakugou in this way, Lelouch quickly stopped his attacks and charged forward to his opponent with his fist raised.
At this, Bakugou responds by charging back with a shout and his hand readying to shove an explosion to Lelouch's face.
Seeing that he took the bait so easily, Lelouch smiled wickedly and as soon as Bakugou have reached the desired range, his hellish dark flames quickly engulfed his own whole body, surprising Bakugou off guard which Lelouch took advantage of by sending an uppercut to Bakugou's face, launching him ten meters in the air.
Still not satisfied, Lelouch quickly hurls a large powerful but non lethal fireball onto Bakugou which inevitably knocks him out cold as he falls flat badly on the ground.
"Checkmate." Lelouch declared before he slowly begins walking towards Endeavor's favored son, "Well, then, where were we?"
As soon as those words came out from Lelouch's mouth, a hand quickly forces him to turn around which resulted in Lelouch facing a powerful explosion to his face, launching him almost a hundred meters away.
"Hey! I'm still here, you son of a bitch!" Bakugou declared with a powerful shout even though he shows obvious signs of struggle of standing up, "Don't get cocky. That's the one thing I learned from you and that damn nerd. Never thought someone like you would ever have something like that. Arrogance. But it seems I was wrong."
Having nothing to say, Lelouch only spitted out the blood on his mouth before quickly hurling a massive fireball onto Bakugou who used every ounce of his remaining strength to dodge the attack which succeeded. But he wasn't able to anticipate a second attack from Lelouch who've already sent another fireball except that it was smaller and less hotter than all the previous fireballs he hurled at him.
No longer having enough strength and time to dodge this attack, Bakugou instead used his Quirk to dissipate it which luckily succeeded, surprising Lelouch and Todoroki out of their minds.
Amused, Lelouch started chuckling like a maniac and crossed his arms, "Never thought something like that would work but congratulations. You managed to overpower my flames with your Quirk."
"Is that supposed to make me happy or something?" Bakugou replied with a scowl on his face.
"No. Although, I'm still going to state the obvious. You can no longer continue this fight therefore we will stop for now." Lelouch deduced, noticing the severe trembling in all Bakugou's joints.
"Shut the fuck up! I can still fight!" Bakugou retorted before he quickly propelled himself, madly charging straight forward to Lelouch. But no longer than half a second, he suddenly falls back down horribly.
Taking the advantage, Lelouch quickly charges forward and sends a punch to Bakugou's face, knocking him out for real this time.
"Geez, Bakugou's a tough one." Lelouch admitted as he began flexing the now already bruised fist he just used to punch Bakugou's face in, "Almost lost this time."
"Yes. That is true. Because you were holding back." Todoroki replied.
"Now, why would you say that? I almost got myself killed just by fighting him."
"I think it's pretty obvious by now. You didn't show the same feeling and presence when we fought those Villains two days ago." Todoroki speculated, "I saw how you easily burned those Villains into dust like they were nothing. There's also the fact that you managed to do that just by looking at them. I'm not an idiot, Lelouch. So please don't."
"Fair enough."
"Still, now that you seem a little bit exhausted, I'm gonna have to train on my own for now."
"Good idea. Once I'm done having my rest, we can now train together. Just don't tire yourself too much."
"Don't worry, I won't. After all, I want to fight you, Lelouch Salvatore. That's the only reason I picked you. Don't worry though, I won't be as intense and aggressive as Bakugou."
"Why me though?"
"Because I believe you're the most strongest among us. I realized that the moment we fought. And there's also the time when we fought those Villains which even further reinforces my belief."
"I see that you've been quite the observer there, Todoroki. But you don't have to hold back too, Todoroki. You give it all you got. After all, as Mr. Aizawa always say, you gotta work hard and push yourself further beyond."
"You-" Todoroki wasn't able to finish his sentence when a worried Midoriya Izuku appeared and have came forward to Lelouch accompanied by Iida and Uraraka.
"Lelouch?! Are you okay? We heard shouting and Kacchan's explosions so we thought the training had becomed a little bit too intense and personal." Midoriya worriedly asked before noticing the destruction Bakugou mostly caused around the area, "What the hell happened here?"
"Don't worry, Midoriya-kun. I already handled it." Lelouch answered before slowly pointing his finger to an unconscious Bakugou which surprised and spooked the trio that is Midoriya, Iida, and Uraraka, "Don't worry. He'll be all-right. Although, he's not gonna wake up anytime sooner."
"I see. I advise caution training with him, Lelouch, just to be safe and for your sake as well." Iida advised as he crossed his arms with a frown.
"Yeah, I know."
"Although, are you sure you can still continue training, Lelouch? You seem a little bit too exhausted as of now." Uraraka speculated with worry in her voice.
"Don't worry. That won't be for long." Lelouch replied with a confident smirk which slightly confused everyone including Todoroki before they suddenly saw a certain beautiful girl with dark violet eyes and long silky straight dark hair, coming to Lelouch accompanied by a group of men in suits carrying coolers and large buckets of fried chicken, "Perfect timing, Katsura-san."
"What happened here?" Katsura asked as she looks at all the mess Lelouch and Bakugou made.
"Nothing significant." Lelouch nonchalantly replied before gently taking Katsura's hand and decided to introduce her to his friends, "Katsura-san. These are the new friends I spoke to you about. Everyone, this is Kotonoha Katsura, my one and only childhood friend. Please introduce yourself."
At that, Iida was quick to introduce himself in a very formal way before he was followed by Midoriya and Uraraka.
"I see. It's nice to meet you all everyone." Katsura replied with a gentle smile filled with innocence and sunshine that puts everyone including Todoroki at ease.
"Which school are you from, Ms. Katsura?" Iida formally asked with so much politeness in his tone.
"Um, you don't have to be so formal actually. After all, I'm probably the same age as you. And as for the question, I just transferred to Sakakino High actually."
At that, Iida's formal expression turned serious and grave which slightly spooked Katsura, "I see."
"What's wrong, Iida-kun?" Uraraka worryingly asked as she always doesn't like that look on their friend's face.
"I've heard rumors from that school. Mostly bad but I still can't say if it's true. I advise you to be careful when you're there." Iida admitted, "After all, any friend of Lelouch is a friend of mine."
"Me too." Midoriya followed quickly before his declaration was followed by Uraraka.
Katsura happily smiled at the concern and declaration from the trio who seemed very nice and kind to her even though they just met no so long.
"Well, I hate to ruin the moment but I got something for everyone." Lelouch interrupted before ordering the men in suits to put all the coolers they're carrying before opening it, revealing it's contents which are mostly just energy drinks and water, "We're gonna need this if we want to push ourselves even further."
"Woah. You do really like to think ahead, do you, Lelouch?" Midoriya commented.
"Wouldn't have been such a good President if I didn't." Lelouch replied with a confident smirk before calling Yaoyorozu on the phone to tell everyone to regroup in their location if they're now too exhausted to continue training whereas Kotonoha is now already having a pleasant conversation with the trio.
Meanwhile, as all of this is going on, Todoroki feels a tugging at his heart. He doesn't know why but it's just kinda bugging him off.
OOO
"Got you, Lelouch." Yaoyorozu replied as she ends the call before resuming her training with Kaminari and a girl named Jiro whose Quirk allows her to plug the jacks that hangs from her earlobes into all sorts of things and channel the sound of her heartbeat into them, causing Havoc inside the plugged objects. Her Quirk can be also used to catch sounds and vibrations from her surroundings.
"What was that about?" Jiro and Kaminari questioned in unison.
"Lelouch ordered me to tell everyone to come to his location when everyone is already too exhausted to continue." Yaoyorozu replied, "But everyone is far from exhaustion right now. So, let's do this."
"Damn right." Jiro agreed with a confident smirk on her face charging using her Quirk to launch a powerful wave of vibration onto Yaoyorozu.
OOO
It's been seventeen minutes after Kotonoha went off with the trio to watch them train. Of course, Lelouch encouraged and influenced this decision as he wants her to mingle with people other than him.
"Well, this is getting boring." Lelouch admitted before walking over to the cooler to grab a Red Bull to drink.
After he was done drinking, he quickly threw away the empty can of Red Bull he just drank before walking over to Todoroki who is currently doing push-ups using only his two fingers at the moment.
"I'm ready."
"Okay. Just wait up, let me finish this." Todoroki replied.
With nothing to argue at Todoroki's request, Lelouch waited for a minute just so Todoroki could finish his push ups and get into an appropriate starting position.
After he was done, Lelouch wickedly smiled and summoned his flames on both of his palms.
"Well, let's dance." As soon as Lelouch said his words, he quickly threw a powerful fireball onto Todoroki's position however his attack was quickly proven to be a mistake as Todoroki quickly creates an ice wall to defend himself which resulted in creating a massive white fog that hides the both of them.
'Damn it! This again?!' Lelouch complained in his mind as his brain tries to anticipate where Todoroki might hurl an ice wave at him, 'Where the hell is he?!'
The sound of footsteps from his left quickly put Lelouch on edge before he quickly hurled a fireball onto the sound's direction.
Lelouch tried to check it out properly but before he can realize what's happening, an ice quickly engulfs both of his legs before an ice wave directly hit him in the chest, eliciting a painful gasp from Lelouch and prompting him to cover his entire body in flames to protect himself which resulted in melting any ice that comes in his way.
'Shit! I can't hold this up for more than half an hour unless I really want to tire myself out. But I think it's time for me to get serious.'
Wanting to clear the fog up, Lelouch decided to make the flames engulfing his body more hotter and denser which succeeded, revealing Todoroki for all to see.
But as soon as Lelouch laid his eyes on Todoroki, a massive ice wave was hurled at him which almost hit him if it weren't for Lelouch barely dodging it at the last second.
"You're not so bad yourself, Todoroki." Lelouch complimented as he gasps for air, "How about we wrap this up? But this time, without our Quirks."
"Sure."
As soon as their agreement was settled, the Former Demon Emperor and Endeavor's favored son quickly charged at each other with their fists raised.
Lelouch was the first and only one to land a hit because he was able to doge Todoroki's punch before Lelouch followed a kick into Todoroki's chest that pushed him back ten meters away, eliciting a painful grunt from the scarred young boy.
"What's wrong? Can't keep up?" Lelouch taunted, noticing Todoroki's slow reaction in the fist fight just now.
"Shut up." Todoroki retorted as he charges forward but he was quickly put down again when Lelouch performed a leg sweep that knocked his opponent off balance.
Lelouch was about to follow an uppercut for Todoroki himself but he was quickly stopped in his actions when Todoroki managed to punch him in the chin, staggering the raven haired boy.
Todoroki then follows a series of punches, all of which managed to land directly onto his opponent. But this ended with a severe drawback as Lelouch sends a punch into his scarred eye followed by a knee to the chest and an elbow to the face, knocking yet again Todoroki off balance.
"That's enough for now." Lelouch declared with a tired raspy voice as he stands above his opponent while offering his hand, "Let's rest for now."
"You're right." Todoroki agreed with a defeated sigh and accepted his offer of help, "It seems you're not so bad yourself as well, Lelouch."
Lelouch smiled at the compliment before his smile was replaced by a look of annoyance when he saw a certain ash blonde hothead with the most murderous angry glare he saw on a normal civilized person was aggressively coming towards him.
"Hey, Lelouch! Again!"
Some time later...
After training for the whole day, Lelouch was left completely exhausted as he had to face Bakugou's brutal no bars explosions while dealing with Todoroki's dangerous coordinated ice waves.
The drinks and fried chickens were the only things comforted him during his harsh time with his training members although that didn't last long when the entire Class 1-A arrived at their location and consumed his only comforts.
Currently, Lelouch is now heading out to the exit accompanied by Kotonoha Katsura and his trio of friends.
"Hey, Lelouch. Would you fight me?" Midoriya politely requested with determination which surprised everyone including Lelouch at the audacity to request something like that even after all they went through.
"As in now?"
"Yes. Don't worry, it's just gonna be a friendly spar. It won't be as intense like Bakugou or intimidating as Todoroki."
At that, Lelouch chuckled as he crossed his arms, "No can do, buddy. I'm tired and I want to rest. Besides, we're outside. We're no longer in Ground Beta. Wouldn't wanna cause a ruckus here."
"No using our Quirks then."
Seeing the determination on his friend's face, Lelouch decided to indulge his request as he flexes all of his aching joints and muscles, "Okay then. Let's go."
"Wait! Are you guys serious?" Iida worryingly asked as he stepped in between them, "The teachers could see us here and probably might think it's a real fight. We're not in Ground Beta, guys."
"Oh, relax, Iida-kun. The Principal and I are good vibes. We can easily talk our way of this. And besides, Midoriya and I will aim to end this fight quickly."
"That's true, Iida-kun. I just want to see what Lelouch is capable of."
Seeing some reason in their words, Iida gives off a surrendered sigh and clears a way for them to fight, "Okay. Fine. Just don't blame me if this all goes sideways."
"Noted." Lelouch and Midoriya said in unison before quickly charging forward at each.
Surprisingly, Midoriya was the first and only one to land a punch before it was followed by series of strikes and kicks but this was short-lived when Lelouch managed to grab both of his wrists before pulling Midoriya towards him and sending a powerful dropkick onto Midoriya's face, staggering the dark green haired boy into submission.
"Okay. I give up." Midoriya declared before he was pulled up by Lelouch himself.
"Heroes don't give up, Midoriya. So never ever say something like that again. Remember that, Midoriya-kun."
Moved by his words, Midoriya smiled and suddenly hugged Lelouch, surprising Lelouch but nevertheless hugged back.
OOO
Elvira Hancock, wife of the notorious mob boss Tony Montana, is looking at the empty closet she has on her bedroom with a cute pout on her face.
"I really need to buy some clothes tomorrow but I don't know the trend these day. And it's already getting dark." Elvira pointed out before suddenly gaining an idea to rectify her current issues.
She quickly ran to her phone and decided to call his only remaining friend Lelouch.
"Lelouch?"
OOO
After splitting up from his trio of friends and dropping off Kotonoha Katsura at her house, Lelouch is currently on his way home, driving his favorite and only motorcycle while talking to Elvira on the phone.
"So let me get this straight. You want me to buy you a women's clothes magazine?"
"Yes. And I will pay for it out of my own pockets and I will also pay you handsomely too. Having a job now does have it's perks."
"Okay. Fine." Lelouch agreed before ending the call and driving towards the nearest store he can find.
Luckily, it wasn't hard and dragging out as Lelouch might expect as he was able to found a store so easily and unexpectedly early.
He then quickly parked his motorcycle at the appropriate spot before heading inside, looking out for a women's clothes magazine which wasn't so hard since Lelouch was able to easily found a hundred of it.
Wasting no time, Lelouch grabbed ten of it and quickly went to the cashier to pay.
But as he was waiting for his change, Lelouch couldn't help but overhear the conversation between two individuals at the store.
One was a beautiful innocent-looking young girl in a school uniform with large baby blue eyes and straight long dark hair that partially covers her forehead.
"Oh, is that the latest MONMON?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just flipping through. If you want it, here you go."
"Oh, no. God'll smite me if I took away a magazine from such a cute girl like you.
The other was a young man with spiky brown hair in an attire many would call punk-like. He also seems to be much more obviously older than the girl he's talking to. The real irony here though, is the young man that is dressing like a punk also seems to act like a punk.
'Guess young punks should wear punky emo clothes too, huh?' Lelouch commented.
"How about this? I'll pay it for you if you can just let me read it a bit afterwards."
"Huh?! Me?! Cu-" The young schoolgirl stammered a bit before she managed to straighten herself up, "No, thanks. It's fine. I-I-I'll buy it myself."
"Seriously, it's all right. It's a cheap price to get to talk to a beautiful girl like you. And MONMON, huh? You sure got good tastes. Are you a model by any chance?"
"Um, no, actually."
"What?! I seriously thought you were a model of some sort. You're also quite cuter than all the girls in the magazine. Hey! I got a great idea, instead of us standing here, how about we go somewhere we can sit down and relax?
"Uh, s-s-sure, w-why not?"
"Great! Just go wait for me outside while I pay for this. Please go ahead, my lady."
Seeing this turn of events, Lelouch had a look of great suspicion about what's happening. It seemed a little bit off especially the fact that the two just met and the girl just easily accepted his offer.
"Sir. Here's your change." Making a quick decision, Lelouch quickly grabbed his change and went out with intentions to warn the girl in mind and of course Elvira's magazine.
As soon as he was out, Lelouch slowly and wearily approached the young girl, not wanting to spook her out, "Hey, I'm sorry to tell you this. But I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with that guy."
"Oh, him. That's okay. What do you want to say?"
"Didn't your mother ever teach you about trusting strangers like him? I was surprised that you even accepted his offer. For all you know, he could be some psychopathic serial killer or a kidnapper?"
"Now, how can you say that? That guy was very nice actually."
"Oh, sure. What's his name?"
"What do mean?"
"His name? What's the guy's name?"
The girl tried to come up with an answer but came up with nothing.
"See? You don't know him. Just because some stranger is nice to you doesn't mean a thing. He is still an enigmatic stranger with hidden intentions and motives. So, I'm just gonna say this for your sake, do not trust him and you're gonna have to refuse his offer. Start remembering your parent's or your teacher's advice about strangers."
"What about you then? You're a stranger as well. Why should I trust you too?"
"Actually, you don't have to. You can trust my advice. An advice that belongs to every parent in the world."
With that, Lelouch slowly walked over to his motorcycle before putting Elvira's magazine in the bag that Lelouch have forever strapped on the back of his motorcycle, no longer paying attention of the girl he tried to warn.
But before he could turn the engines on, a hand quickly forces him to turn around and the first thing Lelouch saw was the face he's not expecting to see; it was the girl.
"Hey. I'm sorry for my behavior back there. I-I-I-I was kinda in the w-w-wrong side and you made me r-r-realize that so I did exactly what you said. T-T-Thanks." The young girl stammered but nevertheless managed express her gratitude, "The guy did leave me his number though. Turns out his name was Hayato. But actually I'm more currently curious about your name than his. So, can I ask what your name is?"
"What good would that do you?"
"Please. I just want to know the name of the man who made me remember an important advice from my parents."
"It's Lelouch. Lelouch Salvatore. That's my name."
"Yoshida. Yoshida Saki."
"Nice to meet you, Yoshida-san."
XXX
A/N: Tell me, have you ever heard the tragedy of Saki Yoshida the Emergent?
I thought not. It's not a story the weebs would tell you. It's a doujin legend.
Saki Yoshida was a plain friendless schoolgirl so lonely and so desperate she could use makeup to influence her classmates to become... friends. She had such a desperation of being accepted, she could not keep herself, when a guy approached her, from declining.
The naivette side of thinking is pathway to many degeneracies some consider to be unnatural.
She became so engrossed, the only thing she was afraid of was losing her daily fix, which eventually of course she did. Unfortunately, she got knocked up doing what she knew, then her exploitative boyfriend ditched her when she want keeps.
Ironic. She could save others from drugs and violence, but not herself.
OKAY!!! THAT'S ENOUGH STAR WARS REFERENCES FOR NOW.
If you don't know the tragedy, then it's best that you don't. It's something horrifying. The fact that I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me.
Let me know all your opinions and criticism in the comment section below. Peace.
