"So, you're saying that Iida-kun got nominated class president by Midoriya, because of that?" I asked Uraraka, trying my best to snicker under my breath.
She giggled slightly: "Yup! This is what happened!"
'It's ironic that they chose him after such an event... well at least we have the right person in the right pla-'"Take your seats and stop the chatter everyone! The class is about to start! And Tokoyami!!! Get off the desk!!!! You are disrespecting it's craftsmen and the previous senpais that used it!!" He coached, making his signature robotic movements with his hands.
'As I was saying, he is in the right place for his personality.'I sat in my seat, so did Uraraka, and waited for our sensei to arrive.
I glanced at nii-san for a moment. He was immersed in his thoughts, and was not feeling ok. He had to fight father for me again yesterday. I replayed the events of yesterday, probably for the hundredth time, again against my will:
(Father burst the door of my room open. His fire was breathing from his moustache and beard violently. I immediately stood in my place, knowing what was coming.He threw daggers at me, poisoned ones. From the word "useless", to "weak", to "a disgrace"; I wanted the earth to swallow me and never return me again.I knew that the person in front of me now was Endeavour, and not father.I tried my best to stand firm, to take all of his insults and swallow them. I wanted to survive through his poison without fighting. I could not fight him back, because I saw how much of a victim he was to himself.
No... it was because deep down, I knew I still hold that admiration, despite it all.
But that did not mean that my emotions were on par with my desires. I was hurt beyond words, I felt sadness, rage and hatred as well. Tears were streaming on their own from my eyes, silently.
This is when my other half, knocked the door open, fuming with rage. This time, his anger was showing on his whole expression, not just his eyes.
"If you add one more word, just one more word, you will never see the U.A costume in this house ever again!!!" he screamed.
My eyes widened, and shock froze me in place.
Endeavour's fire exploded even more, not just from his face but from his right hand as well. My twin's right foot froze slowly, as if the two were preparing for battle.b
I could not move, or even flinch. My passive quirk was taking over my senses. My whole body burned with pain, and the blood in my vessels condensed. Father noticed that, so did nii-san, so they stopped immediately. Never breaking their glares, father retreated out of the room, while nii-san got closer to me, all afraid and worried.
And after that, nothing. A blackout...)
I felt like if guilt could swallow me whole. I caused nii-san trouble, again.
The metal door slid open, revealing a tired Aizawa sensei, and interrupting my thoughts.
I looked at my hand watch and it showed 12:50 pm.
'This is not supposed to be a homeroom class, it's the hero foundation one. So why didn't All Might sensei come...?'
"For the foundation skills of heroics today we'll study today, it was decided that you'll be supervised by a three man team consisting of All Might, me and somebody else." He announced.
'It was decided...? So this is a special case. It must be because of the villain infiltration yesterday. But still, this does not explain why All Might sensei did not show up.'
"Sensei! What will we be doing!?" Sero, the boy with the tape like arms raised his hand so high in the air asking for explanation.
Our teacher took out a card and shoved it in the air just high enough for everyone to see. It contained the word "Rescue" all bold and capitalized.
"Be the hero everyone needs, whether it be a flood or any other disaster." he started with his deep voice. "It's the trial of rescue!!"
The moment he finished, a small flash of the bird-monster showed and disappeared in a second behind sensei, his hand just above his head.
I flinched, holding my head in pain.
'This thing has been haunting me for too long... what on earth is it...?'
"...roki! Todoroki!!" Aizawa sensei called me, probably for the third time.
"O-oh! Yes sensei..." I stuttered.
"Your classmates are already out, what are you waiting for?" He asked strictly.
"Sorry... I just..." I trailed off.
"Get your costume on and go to the outside, we are going to our destination by bus. And do not space out during explanation again." He ordered.
"Hai!" I exclaimed and got my costume bag.
"In order to get everyone seated smoothly in the bus!! File into two lines according to your numbers!!" Iida coached us, holding a police whistle in his hand.
'Where did he get that anyways...?'
Nii-san was standing just behind me. He did not utter a word, but he was clearly relieved to have me sit beside him.
We got into the bus one by one, but it turned out to be a normal transport bus anyways.
Poor Iida got disappointed.
Shoto and I were gone to the seats in the far back of the bus, away from everybody.
We sank comfortably in the seat chairs, letting out a small sigh, at the same time. We both looked at each other in the same moment, and also turned away awkwardly in a same line of reaction. Then, we both chuckled silently.
'At least we can still enjoy such moments together...'
"Your quirk resembles All Might's." The frog like girl, Asui, said to Midoriya like if it was nothing.
Her words peeked my attention to the conversation the others in the front were discussing.
The green head literally freaked out, and stuttered out some words that barely made sense. The only understandable ones were "mine is not like", then everything became muffled letters.
'His quirk resembles All Might... well it does really, the only difference is that he gets injured when he uses it. But his words from the day he fought with Bakugou rang again:
"I got my quirk from somebody else."
Could it be-'
"If we're talking about the double whammy of flashy and strong, you cannot not mention the Todorokis and Bakugou!" The one bright kid with spiky red hair, Kirishima as I recall, stated enthusiastically, getting the attention of the three of us. I and Shoto only spared a glance, while Bakugou tched. That's when Asui spoke again, flaring the bomb in explosion's head: "Bakugou is always fuming so he won't be very popular.
'Three, two, on-'
"You Bit* I will be popular!!!!!" He screamed.
Her reaction to that? Pointing at him quietly, saying "see" to prove her point. Other students followed suite and started accusing him for his attitude, and the vulgarity of speech rose increasingly fast.
"Oww... I am starting to have a headache..." I complained with a voice that was only auditable to me.
"You got a fu*ing problem icy-hot?!!!" Bakugou fired at me.
'How the hell did he hear that...?"
Shoto glared at him intensely and rose to his feet. The slightly higher ground gave him a little bit of extra height above Bakugou.
"It would be in your benefit to keep your manners when speaking of my twin, Bakugou." He said coldly, nearly spitting his name at the end.
'Uh-oh...'
"Say that again, you fu*ing damned shitty half and half-" Bakugou was reciting every curse word he knows on nii-san and of course accompanying each one with an explosion. But he was cut off with the cold scolding of Aizawa sensei and of course his famous erasure stare: "We're almost there so shut your mouth and settle down already."
And like magic, quiet washed over the bus.
'Thanks Aizawa sensei, you're my saviour.'
Shoto sat back in his seat sighing heavily. So did Bakugou after making sure to send a death glare to our direction.
"Wow amazing!!!!! Is this the U.S.J or something??" The energetic people of our class exclaimed all together.
'Everyone is so loud today...'
I looked around me, studying my environment. My head was spiralling on something, something dark and painful; but I could not grasp it.
"Flood wrecks, land slides, fires, etc, etc..." A female voice that sounded like if it was heard through a comm started a seemingly small speech. We all turned to it's direction. We saw a short hero in a space suite approaching us, still speaking: "This is a practical training..." She continued, but her voice started to fade from my ears, so did all the other voices too. I was starting to get weird images again. I saw the same hero in the space suite, 13, with a totally ripped back. I saw black mist surrounding us, the bird monster and the same boy who infiltrated U.A.
Shaking my head a few times to regain my sense of reality, I took a deep breath.
My hearing and sight were, thank God, back to me again. I saw Thirteen sensei making a number three symbol with her hands as she said something I could not muster up clearly to Aizawa sensei. He got clearly displeased by what they were discussing, but quickly shifted gear to announce the start of class.
"Before we begin, just one thing..." Thirteen asked for permission. "Or two... or three.. or four..."
'They just keep increasing...'
"I'm certain you're already quiet aware... but my quirk is called "Black Hole". No matter what material may get sucked in its vortex, I'm afraid it will turn to dust." Sensei explained.
"Now that's a perfect quirk for removing wreckage and saving injured people from disasters!" Midoriya commented passionately, while Uraraka's head nodded in light speed.
She agreed to him, but also added: "It is also, however, a power that could easily be used to kill people. And in that way, it is not different from the quirks of everyone here."
She then expanded further on how our society regulated and limited quirks usage, and how easily it can kill others accidentally.
"With Aizawa sensei you learned your quirks' true potential, and in All Might's battle trial, I think you became wary of the dangers of using this power on one another." Everyone was listening attentively as she kept on going: "This lesson will serve like a fresh start! Let's get on to studying how to wield our quirks for the sake of humans' lives! Your quirks emphatically does not exist to hurt others!"
'She's so good in that, and so cool too!'
"Please emerge from this exercise having fully understood that your quirks exist to help people!!" She finished, bowing and thank8ng us for listening. Everyone clapped and/or cheered on her.
'The passion in her words reaches out to all our hearts...'
Aizawa sensei leaned on the metal bar behind him, as he began: "All right, first things first..."
Then, a weird, unnerving feeling washed over my being, far stronger than any I have had for all this time. I sensed grave danger being at our doors.
I looked at Aizawa sensei. He had turned to the water fountain at the foot of the stairs, where a small black-purpulish gate spiralled opening, gradually growing. From inside of it, a pale hand emerged, then a face. A face covered with a hand as large as it is; a very scary and creepy face that can never be deleted from my memory. It was the same person who disintegrated the U.A gate yesterday, the same person who almost killed Bakugou. The gate grew and grew, and behind him flooded villains. Villains in a huge amounts.
But that was not what really got me.
It was the form of the same beast I have been having visions about for the last few days. The same deformed bird like monster, with it's dagger teeth, skull-less bare brain and it's twisted look; with it's towering navy blue body.
"Huddle together and do not move!!! Those are villains!!!" Aizawa sensei ordered us so loudly that we seized feozen in our place.
The colour drained from my face, and I trembled.
'It... it was all true...
The nightmares are manifesting again...
My curse is being brought to life again.'
The U.S.J incident has just began. Get ready for the upcoming chapter(s), because I'm planning on heating things up. I won't say more to do not spoil events on you.
I hope that my plans are going to run smoothly so that you can enjoy!
Thanks everyone for your support! Getting so much attention on my first work... I am flattered!
Enjoy everyone!
Regards.
