Chapter 10: The World's Revised Hero Path
Matatabi crouched on the ground while Shirako covered his self with papers like a second skin as a bat-like wings made of paper formed on his back. Beside them, teens with arrays of Quirks went on a running positions.
Matatabi and Shirako shot a glance at each other, making a silent conversation. Both of them are nervous, despite being confident in their own abilities.
It is their first time to enroll in a school. In fact, it is their first time stepping their foot in a school. Matatabi may have went to a kindergarten when he was five but thats it. He haven't even finished that.
The both of them are home schooled and everything they learned is from Mikumo.
They will be okay, they assured each other. Their father figure had taught them after all. The both of them went back to focus after reassuring each other.
Every one shot like a bullet at the sound of a loud horn, signaling them to start.
The both of them quickly gain distance from their fellow candidates. Matatabi is using raw kinetic energy to shot himself forward while Shirako is manipulating the paper covering his body and the paper bat wings on his back to fly over the whole race, effectively passing over the obstacles scattered at the race track.
The both of them finished at record speed. Making the others eat dust.
Shirako and Matatabi grinned at each other and gave each other a high five.
Their lead continue through out the various parts of the entire exam.
Shirako sighed in relief. It looks like they didn't need to worry after all. They should have believed Mikumo-shishou when he told them that they would do just well at the recommendations exams.
The last part was the interview part. They were interviewed by none other than the principal himself.
It was a little scary.
Mikumo-shishou wasn't kidding when he told them that the principal is like a bitter version of him. Shirako got shivers when he thought of how similar the mouse-dog-bear-thing principal is to his Shishou. He thought he was talking with Mikumo-shishou in his I'm-messing-with-you-and-you-can't-do-anything-about-it mode.
…That said, Mikumo-shishou is multiple times more scary than the principal.
At the U.A. faculty meeting, Nezu feel like someone just out do him in something.
Everyone watched as a blue haired teen wearing a white lab coat with the words '白衣'(Hakui) written at the back of the coat, made a gun like item in minutes.
At first, they thought that the boy was a part of the staff or an intern because of the lab coat that he was wearing. They we're surprised to find out that he is actually one of the applicant student.
They watch as he point the gun at a target that test observers provided. He pulled the trigger, a white lighting like ray came out of it and hit the target. All of a sudden, a large block of ice is what became of the target. Their jaws dropped to the ground.
The kid just made a working freeze ray like it was nothing.
Every one shamelessly gawked at the sight. After all, it wasn't everyday that you watch someone turn something into ice without the use of a quirk.
Just who is this guy?
One of the student look at the white robed teen from head to toe, "Wait, he looks like kinda familiar…"
One girl besides him blinked, "Yeah, I feel like I've saw him somewhere else."
"Holy crap! Isn't he Hakui? That guy at the TV?!"
"Wait, really?!"
"I thought I saw that white coat somewhere…"
"I thought he's going to be at the Hero course, what is he doing here at the support course entrance exam?"
Majima didn't know what to think with the pale blue haired boy in white robe. From what he could gather, the boy clearly had experience in fighting and could have ace the entrance exam for the U.A. Hero course. Instead, he went and applied for the support course.
Majima guessed that the white coat isn't just for show but also the real deal.
He knew that the boy would definitely be far from normal given that he is one of those kids that comes from the Pflegen Village.
Pflegen Village. Right… if he guess it correct, it means Foster Village in German.
That's what the half of Mustafu is called now after that Majin person bought half of the lands. They didn't even know how the guy manage to take possession of them, much less the Dagobah beach, which is as far said Majima know is owned by the government.
Majima watched in amusement as the boy became flustered at the attention that he attracted. He could see the brilliance of an inventor and a fighter in those eyes. The possibility of the kid being a front line support Hero is to clear to be ignored.
Let's just wish that Nezu wouldn't poach him. Majima doesn't really want to deal with the shit fest that the Majin will throw at them if they do try to pouch one of his children.
Ienari stared at the U.A. building. It was so much more bigger in person than what he expected. Despite the nervousness hitting him hard, Ienari forced himself to walk inside.
The first part was the written exam. It wasn't easy by any means but thankfully, Lucas-sama's teaching didn't just include physical training.
Under Lucas-sama's teaching, his grades drastically improve. He wasn't really the brightest bulb you could find but Lucas-sama told him he just need a different kind learning. It turns out that he was a kinesthetic learner and learns much more efficient on hands-on activities.
There was a short break before they were all filed into an auditorium. There were so many people that he couldn't help but be intimidated a little bit. Though he could barely contained his squeal and excitement when Present Mic (Present Mic! The Voice Hero! One of his favorites!) appeared and briefed them about the rules and schematics of the exam, which he already knew because Lucas-sama informed him that it would be all about defeating Robots somehow. He didn't really questioned how Lucas-sama knew what the exam would be, he just accept it as a fact.
…now that he thinks about it, he may be already used to the random facts that he gets from his cousins rambling about the parallel world to the point that he didn't care at all were it came from.
Ienari stood at the starting line. Students with assortment of quirks waits along with him. He wears a dark gray hoodie paired by a sweat pants and customed steel laced green and black high top sneakers with a steel plated black gloves on his hands that Lucas-sama gave to him as a gift for the U.A. entrance exams. Thankfully, the gloves and the shoes didn't count as a support weapon which mean that they didn't need permit.
He release his breathe that he's been holding and relax. He's still can't believed that he is currently taking the U.A. entrance exams. Hes nervous and he felt like dreaming.
After months of training under Lucas-sama's tutelage, he stands at the U.A. testing grounds. Lucas-sama said that he did good at their training. Ienari learned how to fight and how to not die when doing something physical.
He's improving, he still trip sometimes though, but only when he's not fighting or doing something important. Lucas-sama suspects that It's entirely mental.
He advanced quickly since he didn't need to built muscles from scratch and only need to be taught how to fight and hone his skill as he goes.
The training wasn't easy, Lucas-sama trained Ienari Spartan style in the short few months. Just thinking about it makes him shiver. He knew that he was the one that asked for it but still, he could have gone without the pain and trauma. He shivered again.
He shakes his head and focus.
He's in a middle of an important exam, he doesn't need to be distracted now that he's here.
Shiro and Mama has been worried about him when he told them that he will take the U.A. entrance exam. His mother was worried that he could be hurt and so on. His seer cousin, who he couldn't really keep any secret to (though not because of his quirk, Ienari just really sucked at lying), told him to be careful and do his best.
His cousin knew that something happened to him to prompt and aim for U.A., but didn't pressed. Ienari would tell him anyway after the exams.
He plant his foot firmly to the ground, preparing for a sprint if needed.
"GOOOO!!!" Present Mic's voice rang through out the site. The other examinees squawk and froze in confusion.
Ienari, being trained by a Spartan vigilante of mischief and death, made the run for it without further questions. He ignored the complains about him cheating and not following the rules only to be told by Present Mic that count down doesn't apply in real life situation.
'Hesitate and you die' Lucas-sama's voice rang in his head.
'Doubt one second and someone could die'
Those are few of the lesson that Lucas-sama taught him at the start of his training. Ienari take the lessons to his heart and commit them to his memory.
He jumped at the One pointer incoming at him. The chassis gave up at the pressure of his feet and used the robot as spring board towards the following Two pointer and smashed it with a powerful kick.
Three points.
The Two pointer collapsed and he blinked. There's a off switch at the slightly hidden part of the robot.
Must be for people with intelligence and none offensive Quirks.
Ienari felt a little at ease, he's afraid that the test could be unfair for people like him. If this hidden switch exist, then there must be more to this exam than just destroying robots-wait, they didn't really said anything about destroying them didn't they? The goal was to immobilized them.
Ienari looked in front of him. The faux villain robots emerge little by little as the other examiners started to catch up. It looks like they react to noise and to were the most examiners gathers.
He darted forward and continue to seek out robots. Even if he did figured out that they doesn't need to destroy faux villains to gain points, it doesn't mean that Ienari is guaranteed to pass. He needs to work fast or he won't be able to rack up points necessary to pass.
He punched an Three pointer at its supposed head and punched another one sneaking behind him, both collapsed to the ground, broken.
The other examiners have already catched up to him at this point. In response to the growing crowd of test takers, more faux villain emerges and started engaging at them.
Ienari a strong flying kick to a Two pointer sneaking to an unsuspecting student.
The boy who had yellow hair, turn around just in time to see Ienari crush the robot sneaking on him, "Thanks man!"
"Y-you're welcome!" Ienari let out flustered, unused to being thanked.
Gathering his bearing, Ienari continued to smashed robots left and right. Mainly with the use of his feet and sometimes punching or using the hidden switch hidden to deactivate them.
Ienari's fighting style is a little unique. It's like a modified Savate and combination of Gymnastics, Parkour, Muay Thai and a little Capoeira with a few other moves that he couldn't really recognize. (Even if he couldn't learned how to fight, it doesn't mean that he wouldn't learn different types of physical arts, that's what his brother and cousin taught him.) Lucas-sama said that someone developed it and in turn, taught it to him, he just further developed it on his own by time he learned it.
The style is fascinating when executed. Pirouettes, back flips, elegant and unpredictable dance like evasion and momentum powered kicks and punches. It was relentless, powerful yet graceful as if he was dancing or doing a choreographed performance instead of fighting.
And oddly enough, the style actually suit Ienari.
He guess, Lucas-sama knew that from the start, which is why he taught Ienari the particular martial arts in the first place.
After massacring every robots he could see (Wait, massacre? Did he really just said that?! Gahh! Luca-sama is rubbing off him!) and helping other examiners he thought that needed help, Ienari eventually lose count on how many points he made.
Actually, he lose count at 39. He was distracted when he accidentally fall at a random girls chest. Ienari's face heat up and he's pretty sure that he actually looked Ike a tomato. Well, it wasn't his fault that he fell on her boobs! It just… happen most of the time and It's not even funny! Why does that happens to him all the time!? This isn't a Ecchi anime! People thought that he was some kind of sick pervert, It's embarrassing!
He immediately tries to apologize, but so does the girl. It turns out that They were both at fault for being distracted.
He heard Present Mic announce the remaining time of the set time limit of the exam. A few moments later, the ground shook. The same happened to the building. From the ground, a large robot the size of the building surrounding it emerges.
Ienari mentally blanched, that is the Zero pointer?
That's just overkill! Why is it so big? It looks scary, there's no way that he could take that thing!
The natural and perfect thing to do is to of course run towards the opposite direction, which is what he was about to do. That is before he heard someone scream help.
"Help! Anybody!" Ienari turn around and found a girl stuck on the ground by a sticky glue like substance and covered by the rubble that came from the giant robot that is wrecking the surrounding.
Ienari is torn. This is an supervised test. There's no way that the U.A. staff would let an examiner in danger. He knew that whether he run towards her or not, the test supervisors wouldn't put her in danger. However, his nature to help someone in need wouldn't let him.
Screw it.
He run towards the girl pinned to the ground. The girl, who was struggling at the rubble and the adhesive substance looked up to him, "Help! I'm stuck!"
He manage to remove some of the rubble but the remaining ones are either stuck to the ground or too large for him to lift. He tried to pulled her out from the goo, but it wouldn't budge. He was even almost been caught in it like the girl! Ienari release a shaky breath, "U-uhm… o-okay, okay. What to do, what to do…"
The goo, what ever it is, is too sticky for him to remove and Ienari doesn't think that he could do anything to lift rest of the rubble alone. He doesn't have anything that could help remove them either. The Zero pointer is getting too close for his comfort. What should he do? What would Lucas-sama do?
Catastrophic destruction of light and darkness comes in to mind. Yes, Lucas-sama would definitely destroy the thing without a second thought if thats what would help them in the situation. The problem is that he doesn't had that kind of fire power. He knew he should have asked Lucas-sama to teach him how hacking works. He wish he could just switch it off like those other faux… villain…
Wait, why couldn't he?
The Zero pointer is something that a normal student couldn't defeat. But there must be a way for it to be defeated or deactivate, like some kind of fail safe.
He glance at the giant robot and search for anything resembling a switch or a hidden board. The humongous robot keep getting closer and closer without any indication that it would change direction. After a moment of search, Ienari almost loose hope that there wasn't any built in the robot until his eyes land on the robots inner left part.
There was a suspicious panel that couldn't be found at the other side of the robot.
Shiro always tease him about his intuition always in hyperdrive. Though Shiro might be in to something, considering that something is telling him that the switch the he was searching is inside that suspicious panel. His gut feeling is telling him this and it has never been wrong.
So without further ado, Ienari run towards the building size robot that could may very well crush him like a suicidal maniac. He ignored the indignant yelling in the background coming from the girl he was helping a while ago and ran towards his target.
His knowledge about robots is so tiny that it might as well be insignificant, but its obvious even for him that the Zero pointer in front of him is so disproportional someone could just walk between its what supposed to be legs and it wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
He ripped the cover panel and is greeted by a glaring red button with the label off at the bottom. Wasting no time, Ienari pressed the button and the Zero pointer stops on its track.
Everything fell silent.
Ienari fell to the concrete on his rear and let out a somewhat nervous laughed in triumph.
Afrer a few moments later, Ienari got his calm down just in time to hear Present Mic announce the end of the exam.
The staff manage to remove the girl stucked on the ground. It turns out that the glue that stuck her to the ground comes from another examiner's quirk. Thankfully, the girl didn't had any injuries. She thanked Ienari for saving her from the Zero pointer.
He went home after the exam. Tired, physically and mentally.
"If you don't open that thing right now, I swear to every supernatural entity in the parallel words, I will smother you with your own pillow."
Ienari stared at the metal disk in his hands, ignoring his cousin's threat. After a long week of waiting, his letter from U.A. containing his test results finally came. He's been a nervious wreck the whole week after his entrance exam. Will he pass? Will he fail? What will he do if he fail? Should he go to General Education if he does? What will Lucas-sama say? Especially after all that months of intense tortu-training that he underwent under him, only to fail? Oh my God, what will he say to Lucas-sama?!
"Eeep!"
His internal dilemma is interrupted by a pillow brutally smacking him down the floor.
"Smack down."
Ienari groaned on the floor then turn to his cousin, "W-what is that for?!"
His cousin gave him a flat stare, "I told you I will smother you with your pillow"
"You smacked me!"
"Same difference, also stop muttering. Its creepy."
"…I'm not muttering" he… muttered.
"You did"
"Did not"
"You did"
"Did not", Shiro twitched in irritation.
"For God sake just open the letter!"
"Can't you just tell me what will it says?"
His cousin gave him a deadpan look, "No, thats boring"
"But-"
"Open the letter Nari", Ienari held the metal disk in front of him and stare at it.
He look up at his cousin, "…how do you activate this thing Anyway?"
Shiro twitched, "Nari…"
"Okay! Okay!"
Ienari placed the disk between them and pressed the button. A hologram appeared featuring a mouse… bear, dog thing in a suit.
"Good evening, Hamagure Ienari! Am I a dog? A mouse? A bear? I am the Principal of U.A., Nedzu!"
"Cute"
Apparently, his cousin disagree, "Don't be fooled. That rascal is a menace"
"Thats rude."
"I'm being honest."
"That's still rude."
"We are glad to inform you that you have pass the written exam. You also have earned a score of 40 villain points at the physical part of the exams."
"Good job" Shiro smiled at him, which got Ienari flustered.
"T-thanks…"
"But that's not all."
"Huh?"
The hologram showed Ienari helping a girl that was stuck to the ground before running towards the Zero pointer.
"Despite not being part of your obligation, you have saved a fellow examinee from the Zero pointer and manage to immobilized it."
It then shift to Ienari running towards the Zero pointer and removing the cover panel over the shut down button, shutting the colossal robot down.
"The Zero pointer, as have said at the briefing, doesn't give any score to the examiner even if defeated. However, villain points isn't the only thing that can be earn."
The footage return to Nezu.
"Rescue points!"
"By saving and helping other examinees despite competing with each other, you have earn a score of 60 rescue points! Normally, we don't announced anyone about them existing, why? because saving people is what heroes do! Thats not something that is need to be said."
"Though your Quirkless status has been brought in to question, you don't need to worry about it affecting your results as we are glad to inform you that you had pass the exam wiith the total score of 100 points and have rank first at over all the examiners, and second to U.A.'s history to ever reach the score of one hundred with All Might having the highest scores."
"Hamagure Ienari, we gladly welcome you at U.A. high!"
Nezu scanned the student applicants this year. Having two students at the roaster recommended by the Majin has been a surprise. Don't be mistaken though. Nezu have already predicted that he would do something like this, considering what the man have done recently.
Nezu didn't anticipated is that Majin would put two different students in the Hero course instead of the one already known like the child with the alias Hakui that has already been known to the public due to its multiple media appearance.
Majin's activities are mostly akin to a vigilante and sometimes, borderline villainous. However, Nezu cannot deny the fact that Majin have save people that Hero themselves couldn't have reach.
He challenged the government to let him be and out right threatened them if they dare to even lift one finger against him.
Now, Majin is the first legal vigilante-villain and the authority is practically powerless against him.
It also didn't help that he holds major stock shares on multiple businesses in various fields. Heroics, Support gear, Medicine, technological advancement and many much more. Which means that he had holds in the different sectors of society and it will collapse if Majin decided to pull out everything.
In fact he's one of the U.A.'s and I-Islands major stock holder, and Nezu was surprised that that one went under his nose.
Nezu was impressed. He couldn't have done it better himself.
Majin is an intelligent man, maybe he would be interested in a chess match? Or maybe Go? Nezu was bored, no one could really match him. Most humans with enough brains are afraid of him, maybe Majin could just be the one to sate his boredom.
Nezu return his attention to the student papers in his desk (its not like he take it off of it in the first place, he's multitasking).
Hyouko Matatabi, Gender: Male; Birthdate: December 15, 2XXX; Age: 14; Height: 162 cm; Weight: 51 kg ;Blood type: O; Quirk: [Nekomata]; Hero course applicant.
Kamishiro Shirako, Gender: Male; Birthdate: August 29, 2XXX; Age: 14; Height: 166.4 cm; Weight: 57 kg; Blood type: AB; Quirk: [Paper Master]; Hero course applicant.
Hamagure Ienari, Gender: Male; Birthdate: October 14, 2XXX; Age: 14; Height: 157 cm; Weight: 47 kg; Blood type: O; Quirk: N/A; Hero course applicant.
Nezu almost cackled and scare most of the staff but decide to keep it to himself. At last, someone is brave enough to apply to U.A., Quirkless. U.A. didn't really had a rule that preventing Quirkless from applying. In fact, U.A. is one of the few schools that let Quirkless students in, Nezu made sure of it.
So imagine his glee when he learned that one of the applicants is Quirkless, and applying to the Hero course no less!
The boy was competent, crushing robots left and right. It had been a surprise for the most of the staff. Much more when they found out that he was Quirkless. The boy has training and was unexpectedly strong despite not having a quirk. He was also smart enough to figure out that one doesn't need to destroy robot to earn points, immobilizing or shutting them down is enough.
He also showed a strong Heroic spirit, something that only a few heroes possess, when he saved his fellow applicants when in need of help. Nezu personally like the part were the boy figured out that It's possible for the Zero pointer to be shut down.
A very intuitive child, he'll do well in the Hero course.
Nezu shift to the other course applicants.
Satooya Amehiko, Gender: Male; Birthdate: October 11, 2XXX; Age: 14; Height: 157 cm; Weight: 54 kg; Blood type: A; Quirk: [Cataclysm] (Formerly named [Moisture Bend]); Support course applicant.
Satooya Amehiko, publicly known as Hakui. Nezu thought that the boy would apply to the Hero course under Majin's recommendation. But instead, have applied to the support course.
Interesting, Nezu is intrigued. He sipped on his tea and cackled.
What an interesting year it is.
Ienari has a smile on his face as he runs across the city. He can't wait to tell Lucas-sama that he had ace the UA entrance exams. He need to thank him for all his help.
That said, he really should've been more careful and more observant while running.
"Looks who's here, where do you think your going thrash."
Of course he would bump in to one of his bullies, just his luck.
"U-uhmm… s-somewhere?"
His bully, Aonagi-san has dark blue hair with a light blue tint and shaped like a fin at the top. He also had razor sharp teeth and shark gills on his neck. He cracked his knuckles and grinned. It's scary, "I guess, a little work out wouldn't work."
"Umm… Aonagi-san, I really need to go somewhere. C-can you please beat me up another day? I'm really getting late now." He's pleas unfortunately didn't work if the twitch on his bully's face is anything to go by.
"You're getting cocky aren't cha?"
Why?! What did he even do?!
"Aonagi—" he was cut when Aonagi-san throwed a punch aimed to his face. If it had been months before, he would've been surely hit. But now, however…
It's looks kinda slow.
Huh? Looks like those unfair and impossibly fast movements that Lucas-sama always throw at him made his perception more faster.
Ienari tilted his head to the right and intercept Aonagi-san's incoming punch by grabbing his wrist. Ienari shift his own feet and threw Aonagi-san over his shoulder and in to the ground. He heard him groan in the ground.
"S-s-sorry Aonagi-san! I really need to go! Lucas-samawillhitmeifI'mlatebye!" He then run so fast he leaves a trail of dust behind him.
Meanwhile, on the ground. Aonagi groaned and cough from the dust and briefly wondered what the fuck just happened.
"Lucas-sama! Lucas-sama! I passed! I passed!" Ienari-kun jumped up and down in cheer.
Lucas… Koiro… honestly, he isn't sure who he is anymore sometimes, "Of course you would, I already told that from the start but you didn't believe me." He flicked the Quirkless and older boy's forehead.
He watched as Ienari-kun flushed in embarrassment, "S-sorry, It's just… No one really believed that I could do something. Only Mom and Shiro did…"
"And now, you." Lucas (yes, Lucas sounds more right than Koiro) sighed. The sight made his cold dead heart to twinge. The assholes really did a number to the kid. The kid was actually talented and has a lot of potential, he just need right teacher and training.
Lucas flicked Ienari-kun's forehead, the teen yelped, "Ita!"
"You should believe in yourself more Ienari-kun."
Ienari-kun rubbed his forehead, "hai…"
"Anyway, how many points did you have?"
"I-I earned 40 villain points from destroying robots. 60 from rescuing someone. The principal said that I…"
"Keep going…"
"That I rank first? They also said that my… Quirklessness might be a issue if I hadn't ranked first and set a record of having the most highest score second only to All Might."
"Better, 76 points for the report. Less stuttering and show more confidence, you can't be stuttering in front of the crowd when you finally became Japan's first Quirkless Hero."
"H-hai…"
"I said no stuttering and more confidence."
"Hai!"
"Good. Its really a good thing that Nezu is the principal of UA or your application might not be accepted, regardless of your score."
"They can do that?!"
"Yep." He said popping the 'p' at the end.
"Did you know what class are you already?"
"Class 1-A." Lucas smirked.
"Good, I wouldn't expect anything less. You better show them who's the boss at the UA Sports Festival."
"I'll do my best!" Lucas grinned, he teleported behind Ienari-kun and mess with his hair with his other arm sling on his shoulder.
"You better damn do." Ienari-kun giggled like a kid while slouching forward due to the height difference. He let go of the kid and teleported back to his previous position.
The two of them went silent for a moment, "Lucas-sama."
"Hmm?"
Ienari-kun smiled in gratitude and bowed, "Thank you for everything. "
Lucas smiled softly for a moment, "You're welcome."
Ienari-kun went home after that.
Tsuyu peered at his partner.
The red haired man named, Rikoi, is the same age as him with dead fish eyes and three yellow hair spikes on top of his red hair that formed something like a cross between a dorsal fin and a crown. He also had fins instead of ears. Tsuyu heard him grumbled something about 'dumb slime' but Tsuyu wasn't really sure.
He remind Tsuyu of a Magikarp.
A grumpy and hot headed feral Magikarp.
Maybe Thats why Boss-sama pair them together? Because their both Pokémon like? Everybody told him that Tsuyu remind them of a ditto after all.
Wait! Maybe Boss-sama wanted him to be friends with him! Boss-sama told him that Rikoi-san lived in the sewers since he was a kid so he probably doesn't have any friends like Tsuyu.
When Rikoi-san came to the mansion, he was kind of feral. Like how Tsuyu was a little bonkers in the head before Boss-sama helped him (Tsuyu isn't bonkers now though, just a little crazy. But Boss-sama said that a little craziness is okay as long as he knows that he is and try to be better. Boss-sama is still helping him with that).
Tsuyu doesn't think that Rikoi-san like him much though. They end up fighting most of the time. Though they kinda get along with each other when it came to Anime, sparring and Boss-sama's cooking.
Especially Pokémon, they both like Pokémon.
Like no one ever was~
Anyway, their mission is to create a ruckus to stir every one up, a diversion so Boss-sama could move easily inside the base without any problem while they were busy dealing with them.
Meanwhile, one of their friend will secure all of their devices so they couldn't do anything other contact anyone. After that, they will catch up to Boss-sama to give him a hand. Tsuyu doesn't think that Boss-sama need help though, he's strong after all, stronger than Tsuyu and Rikoi-san.
Rikoi-san's eyes meet his and contemplate on what to do. Tsuyu saw something that he could only recognize as mischief and sadism in Rikoi-san's eyes.
Something is telling Tsuyu that the prankster inside him will like whatever Rikoi-san is planning.
"[I know what the two of you are planning]"
Tsuyu blinked, at his phone. A small teen with blue and red hair in high collared black shirt wearing a black cat ears headband appearing in the screen. "Acai-san? I thought you were busy hacking?"
"[I am, but It's easy and I'm bored waiting for father to contact me. Also, its A.C.A.I.]"
"If you're here to ruin my fun, then go back to whatever database that you come from." That was Rikoi-san talking.
"Rikoi-san, Thats rude!"
Rikoi-san rolled his eyes, "do I look like I fucking care, you dumb slime?" Eh? So it was Tsuyu that Rikoi-san is referring to when he said dumb slime?!
"Tsuyu isn't dumb! I may be a slime, but I'm not dumb!"
Tsuyu saw Rikoi-san rolled his eyes again, "Yeah right, and I'm a koi fish."
"[But you are a koi fish, father's files said so]"
"What did you say?! I'll have you know that I'm the most dangerous aquatic predator that you could find in all waters!"
"[Waters that are coincidentally called sewers]"
"Shut up you Porygon rip-off!"
"[Says the Magikarp himself]"
Acai-san is really good at dealing with Rikoi-san. Tsuyu wished he could do that, Boss-sama trusted him with a job after all. Tsuyu doesn't want to disappoint Boss-sama.
"Uhh… aren't we here for a job?"
Tsuyu heard Rikoi-san clicked his tongue while Acai-san cough discretely inside the phone screen. Tsuyu blinked, did they forgot what they came here for? Rikoi-san he could understand, but Acai-san is a A.I. and shouldn't be forgetting things like that. He must be distracted bantering with Rikoi-san.
Boss-sama made Acai-san too well, It's like he was a living person. It's looks like Boss-sama made it so Acai-san could develop sentience on his own.
Rikoi-san grunted, "We need to make our entrance"
"Our entrance?"
"[Like I said earlier, I know what your thinking and I aprove]"
"Tsuyu has an idea!" Both of them turn to him and he grinned, his smile is elongated and edgeless. if someone saw it, they would think that its creepy. It's not really his fault though, its actually a mix of reflex and him trying to imitate Mikumo's prank grin.
Rikoi-san mirrored Tsuyu's grin with his own sharp predatory ones, "looks like you aren't that bad after all."
"[I'll start the recording]"
Every one is busy having lunch when suddenly, an explosion came out of no where. Everyone is either on alert or in panic except one.
"What's up with the ruckus? I'm busy eating here!" A man with a canine mutation complained to the people panicking around him.
He's actually one of the high ranking lackeys of the boss so he had authority over them. He remain calm and continue eating his food, waiting for an answer.
"Inuki-san! Were under attack!" The man named Inuki blinked, "We are?"
That said, as skilled and high ranking as he is, he wasn't exactly the brightest bulb there is.
The young grunt gritted his teeth, "Yes, we need to move now. The boss could be in danger."
Inuki blinked, "Oh, just let me finished my food here for a second"
The grunt suddenly had the urge to strangle his superior. He settled in pulling his own hair in frustration instead.
"Come on, you need to chillax! You'll go bald if you pull your hair like that"
And whose fault do you think that is?! Why do he had to deal with him?! He's a grunt! It wasn't his job to baby sit his superior! How can Houki-san deal with this on a daily basis?!
"You look stressed is it really urgent?" Inuki pickup his tray and went to the grunt.
God, he really just had to asked him that doesn't he?! Wasn't it obvious?!
Then the main door suddenly exploded.
Inuki, who still holds his tray and his utensils with both hands, tripped face first straight to his tray.
The teen grunt smacked himself in the face, barely containing his contempt. You know what? Fuck it. He could take care of himself! He didn't sign up just for this. Hell, he didn't remember signing up for any of this at all! He wanted to be a botanist, not a villain!
He was pulled out of his internal rant about his life when lights came out of the exploded door—was that music playing?
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
What?
A blue haired man appeared at the door doing a ridiculous pose, "To protect the world from devastation!"
A red head one followed doing the same thing, "To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evil of truth and love,"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Metamon!" The blue haired one said which the red head followed.
"Ryuukoi!"
"Chaos children blasting off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"[Nyaa Thats right!]" An disembodied voice rang through out the place.
…What the hell?
He nudge Inuki-san that is still sprawled at the floor, "Inuki-san! Stand up, the intruders are here!"
Inuki-san remain at the floor.
"Inuki-san?"
"[…I think he's dead]" the disembodied voice piped.
"…great."
They made a mistake.
A very very big mistake.
Inuki is dead, he sensed with his quirk. But that wasn't really a big deal though, he doesn't like the stupid mutt anyway.
The others reported that the idiot stabbed his self in the eye all the way to his brain with a fork or was it chopsticks? by accident, because he fucking tripped when all the shit started. What a dumb way to go, if you ask him.
That said, everything are in chaos, all of their operation is in mishap and their all gonna fucking die.
All because they went after Hakui.
No, the White Robe didn't attacked them. They were attacked by an enemy that they didn't expected.
Houki knew the rumors and it makes so much sense now.
The wall besides him explode like All Might just punched it to kingdom come. The atmosphere suddenly became suffocating, and his legs became so weak that he fell on his knees. His tail curled meekly on his tights.
Someone, something walk in over the destroyed wall. The man was tall, he wears a pristine three piece black suit and a long black overcoat, bandages covered his hands and neck, he had pitch black hair while his face was covered by a mouthless bone white mask with two horns and black sclera and menacing red glowing pupils.
He couldn't stop shaking. His heart is in overdrive, he could hear his blood pump three times faster than normal with his animal ears, when he met those soul crushing red eyes.
"Have Fear…" the man's voice vibrated and pulsed in the air.
"For I am here." And just like that, everything that he's experiencing suddenly increase multiple folds. It's so overwhelming, he thought he would pass out just from man's mere presence.
It's like that encounter with All for One all over again.
"You… yo-you're Majin." He managed to croaked, his voice barely a whisper.
"You're assumptions are correct." Majin take a step towards him and crouch to his level to meet him eye to eye. He started to panic.
God! Anyone! Help him please! He's gonna die, he's going to die, GodIdon'twannadie!
He felt a hand on top of his head, "You will do what i say and tell me where you hide the children and your Boss is." The hold tightened it hurts.
"Willingly, I might add." Red eyes bore to his own.
"And you'll like it regardless of what you feel."
Houki let out a whimper as all he could do is to nod and agree.
Zenchi doesn't know how long he has been in here in this dark cell. They've been keeping him lock up for his quirk since he was eight or something, so they could benefit from it.
He has a rare and strong healing quirk, thats why they keep him in this cell instead of selling him to someone like… like the others…
He missed them.
But they're gone now, and he had no way of knowing if they're still alive or not. There are always new children in here, sometimes even adults. All of them having unique and rare Quirks of their own.
He shift on his bed in to a sitting position. It's been a while now since the commotion started. Every one have their hopes up that maybe, maybe the heroes will came and help them.
That maybe, someone would save them from this place.
He's been here for so long that he doesn't know how old he was anymore. And to be honest, Zenchi didn't feel like he aged mentally at all.
Sure, his body grew. He's tall now and his pink hair is long and much more lighter than what he vaguely remembered. He experienced things on his body that he doesn't understand because no one would tell him.
Like… like that thing in the morning when he would sometimes wake up like he had peed on himself, but its sticky instead. Among other things that he doesn't understand.
Others call him kids called him Nii-san because he's older, but he doesn't really feel like one at all. Because deep inside, he knew that he didn't change an inch at all, since he came here.
Deep inside, he knew that he still want to get out of here, to be free. Even after they hurt him, torture him to see their ways, what he yearn is freedom and nothing else. He's a kid who just wanted to be free and go home.
But as time passess, it's just that, he's tired. He's body heal from the torture and abuse to the point that there wasn't any trace of it ever appearing with the help from his own quirk, but its different with his mind.
The longer he stayed here, the further he forgets.
He doesn't remember his parents anymore, If he ever had friends before his capture. In fact, he doesn't remember his full name any more.
Its just Zenchi or Zen-chan and nothing more.
He remembered a food that supposed to be his favorite. Something cold and sweet in a brown colored cone. He doesn't remember what It's called.
He remembered someone telling not play to far and he remembered not listening to them. Would he still be here if he listened to them from the start and behaved like he should?
Maybe, maybe not. It's probably too late now.
Suddenly, they heard the door towards their holding cell squeaked.
Zenchi wanted to believed that they were heroes that has came for their rescue. But he is too afraid that may be, they aren't, and just another villain wanting them.
Still the others kept their hopes up and Zenchi wished he could do the same.
The door opened and revealed a scary masked man with horns wearing all black. The man instantly knocked out every guard watching them with a single swing of his arm.
Everyone tensed when he appeared, fearing for the worst. But they were surprised when the masked man looked at them. His eyes looked, sad… sad and angry. Not to them, but to the guards laying on the floor unconscious. The others could see it as well.
The man removed his mask and revealed a beautiful man with soft red eyes. It made Zenchi a little confused. Aren't only women was supposed to be beautiful?
The man smiled and snapped his fingers, their holding cell suddenly opened on their own, "Everyone are free now…"
It took a while before what the man said sinked to Zenchi, he couldn't believe what he had heard.
"We… we're free…?" Zenchi murmured in disbelief, his voice is soft due to rarely being used.
A woman with reddish brown hair followed the mysterious man in to the room and herd the others outside the cell.
The man smiled softly, "Yes, no need to worry, everyone is free now. You're free"
You're free…
Zenchi's cheeks became wet as tears fall down, "I'm free…"
"People called Majin, but you can call me Satooya… Satooya Vii."
"I… I'm Zenchi…"
The man named Satooya reach out his hand to Zenchi, "let's go, Zenchi-kun. It's too dangerous here."
For the first time in years, Zenchi reach out and take his first step to freedom.
"You traitor! After everything I've done this is how you pay me?!" A fat old man bluish lavander skin and spider legs for his legs, screeched. He was bald and has multiple eyes.
The traitor in question, Houki, just stand there, ignorant to his boss's rant. Houki is striken with fear and horror. Miosis is evident in his eyes, his face is sweating from fear, his body is shaking like a leaf.
Though not because of his boss.
A hand fell at Houki's head, "Now, there's no need to point fingers." Said the source of Houki's fears.
Now, Houki would have laughed at his boss because he is in no way would be able to point fingers considering that he's tied up with the rope. if he wasn't at the verge of dying from fear because of Majin, that is.
Majin turned to him, as If asking for response, "Aren't I right Houki-kun?"
"…Hai" he mumbled his response.
The hold on his head tightened, "Why can't I hear your voice Houki-kun?"
"H-HAI!!!" He almost yelled in fear.
"Now, wasn't that hard?" He felt the grip on his head relax only for it to turn in petting.
The tension on his body lessened, along with his fears and—No, stop! Don't! Don't purrDon'tpurrDon'tpurrDon—!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Majin chuckled, "You're just like Tabbi-kun! He also purr when I do that."
Houki is horrified, and for whole new reason.
"Now Aogumo-san, I will give you three choices."
"Go to hell", his Boss sneered.
"I'm afraid Satan black listed me to Hell. I believed he caught wind of my plan of dethroning him when I die. The heathen, hiding inside his cage…"
"…", Houki couldn't tell whether he is lying or not.
"Back to the topic, You have three choices; first, surrender peacefully to the police. It would be a lot easier for everyone involved if you do."
"In your dreams you brat."
Majin sighed, "Figures, also I'm not a brat you insolent arachnid, I'm older than you by a decade and a half."
Houki's eyes widen at the piece of information, was he like All for One?!!!
"Second choice is that you resist, be hurt, and go to jail regardless."
"Keep dreaming, my associates will destroy you"
The mask Majin wears suddenly distorted and grew a mouth. The mouth grinned, "You think they could do anything to me? Or to my charges? What insolence, you're years too early to try and threaten me child."
If Majin wasn't holding Houki, he would have pass out from fear.
Houki's boss gritted his teeth and glared. Boss is cornered and he knew that.
"Third is that you piss me off, I destroy this very place, you end up in jail and you'll wish that you have been dead."
The air turn cold and heavy. Houki and his boss suddenly found it very hard to breathe.
"And you've been doing a good job at doing so."
"Drug trafficking, weapon smuggling and many more crimes that I don't really care whether you did or not. But then you did something that I found really unforgivable."
"Human trafficking, and worst is that you tried to touch one of my children. My Children."
At this point, Majin had already let go of Houki's head. The room started to distort like a reflection from a distorted mirror.
"A.C.A.I.-kun, get everyone out of the building."
"[Done, everyone besides you and the Aogumo goons are left inside, father.]"
"Good"
"What are you planning?!!!" Boss screeched as the surrounding continue to distorted.
Houki turn to Majin in panic and fear, "M-Majin-san I d-did what you ask! Please don't kill me!"
The mask grinned sharply, fangs started to appear to the supposed mouth of it.
"Don't worry Houki-kun, you wont die."
Majin raised his hand.
"But you'll wish you did."
"[Non-Fiction…]"
The distortion in the surrounding freeze in place.
"「Lovecraft's Maddening Tea Party」"
And there was Madness.
Mikumo looked at his work, still wearing his Majin outfit, "That went well."

"[Father, I think what you did was something called overkill.]" His A.I Child piped.
"I agree with Acai-san Boss, rendering them insane and destroying the whole building with a assortment of Eldritch Chuthulu like beings is kinda over the top." The reddish brown haired girl, Tsume-chan, added. She was a small time villain before she came at the Satooya mansion. Though she wasn't villain by choice, she killed his step father after he successfully killed her mother and tried kill her next. She attacked in retaliation then went in to hiding. She's in the same age range of Tsu-kun.
"[Acai ja nai A.C.A.I. da]" okay, he doesn't remember programming him like that. Acai-kun is growing fine and well with the sentience development algorithm. Soon, he'll be an independent entity on his own. This world's technological advancement really help him develope him.
That said, Acai-kun referencing Gintama is a surprise. Though that may be due to his programming and from whom he was based on.
"That's practically the same you Porygon rip-off." Rikoi snarked at Acai.
"[It isn't, you rabid koi fish]"
"The fuck did you call me?!"
"Quiet, the two of you. There's children in the vicinity." He reprimanded the two.
"[Apologies]"
"Tch, my bad." Rikoi really remind him of Katsuki with his attitude. Though he did respect Mikumo like how Katsuki respect Mitsuki-san and Masaru-san.
He felt someone pulling on his overcoat. It was the teen with a long light cherry blossom hair, "Sa… Satooya-san…? What will happen to us now…?" The boy, Zenchi, asked him with a soft voice, clearly not use to continuously talking out loud.
Another teen behind him, a boy with a shaggy bluish purple hair with green ends spoked. He remembered him as one of the grunts that work for that arachnid earlier, "Majin… san? Can I ask what will happen to me too? I used to work for the Aogumo, will I… be in jail?" The boy asked, warily staring back and fort at the insanity that is previously their base and Mikumo.
Mikumo decided to not include the boy at the other Aogumo in the building, because when Acai-kun accessed the files Aogumo had, they found out that the boy, whose name is apparently Tsurumi was sold to the bald spider as a payment from a debt. Knowing that, Mikumo decided to exclude the boy from the rest.
He removed his mask and smiled at the two teens. He ruffles their hair and grinned, "Don't worry, there's a place that the lot of you that doesn't have one could stay."
Another explosion erupted from the building, accompanied by an gurgling inhuman screeches.
"Boss-sama? Tsuyu think the paperworks for this mission will flood your office." Mikumo internally winced at the cursed word. Yes, destroying a whole building with Eldritch beings and driving the survivors into insanity would make a mountain of paperworks.
Fortunately, it wasn't him that would do the said paperworks.
"…Chop chop children! Time is running! A.C.A.I.-kun drop a tip to the Chief of Police and Tsukauchi-san, we're going home." He said returning his mask to his face.
"[Father? Are you sure its wise to throw this to the police?]"
"Like Hell I'm doing the paperworks for this mess. Also, this would be a wake up call for them so that they do their job properly."
"I bet you just made that bullshit on the spot, Boss."
"Language, Also I'm baking cookies today."
And just like that Rikoi immediately change tune, "You heard the Boss! Move! Move!" It's really weird how his cookies can be a effective form of bribery. It's not like he put some kind of special ingredients in them. Every ingredients are just your normal ordinary ingredients and nothing more. Could it be because of his cooking techniques perhaps?
"[Father, you do know that you can't bribe me with cookies right?]" Screw Acai-kun's snark that he inherited from the person that he was modeled from.
"I'll brew you a digital cookies that you could absorb later at the mansion."
"[Sending Data…]", It's a good thing that he also inherited his base models cookie addiction.
"Onwards to the mansion!" They then went home with a horde of children.
Chief of police Tsuragamae and Detective Tsukauchi wanted to bang their heads to the nearest wall they could find in their respective work place. Both of them are torn whether to curse or be thankful to Majin.
Good news is, the Aogumo group, one of the only few organized crime remaining at the Quirk era is now disbanded and taken down without ever hoping of returning.
They've been a torn to the Heroes and the Police for years. Kidnapping children with powerful Quirks, Sex trafficking, Slavery, child labor, drug trafficking, Arms dealing and smuggling among other things. They have so many connection and resources that it was hard to keep track of them. It was good that they have been taken down.
The bad news is, it was Majin that crushed them. Majin is not something that you just go against with. He may be new but that isn't mean that he was a pushover, he was one of the few people that the government and by extension, Heroes and the Police force cannot touch after all. A few examples being All Might and All for One.
No one knows what Majin's quirk could do and no one is keen on being on its war path just to figure it out.
So whatever the Aogumo did to piss off Majin, enough for him to spawn black mass of wriggling tentacles, mouths and eye balls to swallow an entire building with the whole Aogumo inside is not something that Tsukauchi wants to know.
Another good news is that there's only one death, and that one is completely by accident when the person in question accidentally tripped and stabbed himself in the eye all the way to his brain.
The bad news is, everyone alive are either catatonic, traumatized or now downright insane. It was apparently an intended side effect of the… the… Mass of Eldritch Abomination that Majin spawned against them.
And yes, the capitals are necessary.
Another good news is that Majin paid for all the damage that he and his people did. At least he's taken responsibility of the property damage that he made. However—
BAMM!
Sansa came and dropped a massive stack of papers on his desk. "Next set of paperwork came."
Just, how many paperwork will he need to do? He isn't even finished on the reports on the Azrael case! Also, why are they the ones doing it?!
"Sansa, why is there twice the amount of paperwork than what should have been in my desk?"
"Tsukauchi-san, the paperwork for those who went insane among the other things were also added to your work—"
Meaning every ones paperworks.
"—also, the half of all the paperwork was send to the Chief of police."
Wait, you mean what he's doing all this time are only half of the total paperwork?!
"Sansa, I would really appreciate it if you could—"
"Look at the time! Its already the end of my shift! I didn't know time pass that fast. Well, see you tomorrow Tsukauchi-san!"
"Wait-Sansa!"
SLAM!
The sound of the door slamming echoed to the room. Tsukauchi's eyebrows twitched, traitor!
A moment later the door opened again and revealed the underground hero Eraserhead coming at the door.
"Aizawa-san! Look you need to help me with this. It's about Majin and—"
SLAM!!
The door was immediately closed the moment Majin's Name came out of Tsukauchi's mouth, "…"
He banged his head to his desk and started doing his paperwork, he blame Majin for this.
Somewhere, the Police chief's office, Tsuragamae shares Tsukauchi's sentiments.
After the Aogumo fiasco (and spying the police force dealing with the resulting paperwork), Mikumo send majority of the children back to their respective homes, though there was a little problem when some of them refused to leave the mansion and go home back to their respective family. Mikumo figured that it was probably because of the cookies.
…Yep, it's definitely the at cookies fault.
He fixed this by building a school just for them, it was near the mansion so that they could visit anytime they want.
It would also give people jobs. The children that he stole-rescued from the orphanage run by that snake will also go there.
It's just from kindergarten to middle school though, Ame-kun would begged him to be transferred to the new school the he decided built if he put up a high school section.
Zenchi, Tsurumi, and the other children from the Aogumo goons that doesn't have anywhere or anyone to go home to, stayed with him at the mansion.
They took a while to get use to the mansion than the orphan childrens which is completely understandable as they were kept in a holding cell before they manage to became free.
Ame-kun, Shira-kun and Tabbi-kun are doing well at U.A. Ame-kun is finally making friends, which was what Mikumo wanted in the first place. Shira-kun and Tabbi-kun was also faring well in the Hero course. They also started making friends with the other students which Mikumo make sure to tell the three of them how proud he was at their growth.
Shira-kun told Mikumo about the Quirkless student that could somehow match him and Tabbi-kun in pure physical prowess. Shira-kun suspect that the boy may only have be second to Ame-kun in physical strength, which is impressive on its own, considering Ame-kun could take down concrete walls bare handed and without the assist of his quirk.
Mikumo watched one of the footage of their exercise at school. The one with Tabbi-kun and the said Quirkless student sparring with each other. Apparently, you could request them if you're a parent with a child attending in the Hero course.
He quickly identified the fighting style used by the Quirkless boy, Hamagure, against Tabbi-kun. It was him that developed it after all, and taught it to his greatest student. His cousin.
He spin on his chair and stopped to stare outside the window. So close, his cousin is so close but all he could do is to wait patiently for him to fully awaken.
If his cousin still want to see him after awakening, then he would welcome him with open arms. He doesn't need to show himself to him only to cause Lucas existential crisis and be confused on his own identity.
He'll accept whether he choose to be his cousin or start a new life in this world.
After all, that's one of the purpose of the reincarnation given by the God of second chances.

Thanks for reading, Schwarz-san out.
