Chapter 11: Of Chaos and Mischief
It's traffic.
Understandable, considering that a nationwide event that will be viewed by the whole world will take place this day.
As a result, the road is conjested. Vehicles move slowly, except one… weird vehicle.
Is it even a vehicle though?
Suddenly, a large shadow covered some small vehicles.
"NYAAAAMU!"
"W-what the—!?"
"What is that?!"
A kid tugged on his grandfather's hand and point at the thing, "Jii-chan, look! It's like that bus from your favorite movie!"
A giant cat like bus* walked over the majority of the vehicles in the road. It has legs instead of wheels. It towers the other vehicles such as cars and motorcycles. Like the rest of them, it was headed towards UA.
Children and a few teenagers could be seen by the giant cat bus' window. Though the one that stand out the most are the three who wears the U.A. uniform and a man with blue hair wearing a pink high collared jacket.
"Miku-jiiji, this is so COOL!!!"
"Mikumo-shishou, this is…"
"T-Tou-sama! You didn't told us we had a giant cat bus inspired from Totoro!"
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
At the drivers seat, Mikumo, currently in his adult form, laughed at their reactions.
"Well, you humans never asked if I had a kin with a quirk like this one." A black cat with red eyes and a meter long tail with a curly and tuffy end, who is sitting on his shoulders, answered for him.
Bringing out one of his quirked animals outside is a good decision. Schrödinger, the cat that had talked earlier, is the one leading and taking care them for him.
It started when he adopted a stray cat with a quirk, Schrödinger (naming a cat after a scientist who devised a paradoxical experiment about a cat may or may not have been a good idea—), who could his control own body as he wished. He was injured and struggling to use his quirk to help himself heal. Mikumo helped him and taught him how to use his quirk.
Eventually, he learned how to talk with all the customization that the he had been doing to himself.
Everyone at the mansion heard about him taking in a quirked animal and decided that somehow, it would be a great idea to bring to him other quirked animals in the vicinity.
They aren't as rare as humans thought them to be.
They became too many and before every one knew it, Schrödinger had already take them in and made them his own minions.
On his shoulder, Schrödinger sighed, "Humans are always too quick to assume."
"[I know right]", an disembodied voice, which is A.C.A.I., Mikumo's A.I., Talking from Mikumo's phone, agreed.
Mikumo gave them a deadpanned expression, "I think you two are forgetting that I'm a human as well."
Schrödinger scoffed, "We both know that you are far from human with how powerful you are, Vii-sama."
"[Yes father, calling you human would be an insult to you and your intelligence.]"
Mikumo sighed and shake his head fondly, "I may have taught the two of you too well."
"Yes, you did. And I'm thankful nyaw."
"[It's all thanks to your programming father.]"
Mikumo smiled at the cat and rub It's chin, which was answered by a joyous purr. (For a brief moment, Matatabi was jealous, but you didn't hear him said that) Schrödinger had became more invested in human affairs ever since he learned how to talk human. It might be for that very reason that he had wanted to learn how to spoke human. Regardless, it isn't Mikumo's business if Schrödinger want to keep his reasons to himself.
"You two are such a adorable murder children."
"Nyaaa… of course I am."
"[Aww… Father, you're making me blush.]"
Meanwhile, UA stadium could be seen in ahead.
"I can't believed that your secret tutor is Azrael of all people." Shiranui sighed at his cousin.
The person in question just shyly scratched his cheeks but said nothing. Shiranui turn to the Vigilante next to his cousin. He's visibly younger than him and Ienari, physically at least. He isn't sure about the mental age.
He's still can't believed that the reason his quirk is in shambles and malfunctioning is something as absurd and problematic as reincarnation.
"Come on Shiranui-chan, don't be such a kill joy! I swear to my cousin's grave, to his home bake cookies and to all of my one night stands that I'm not gonna put Ienari-kun here in danger."
Shiranui twitched at the words, "It's so weird to hear a twelve year old say the words 'One night stand' so casually as if talking about the weather."
Azrael, whose true name is Koiro yet insisted to be called Lucas grinned, "Seeing people with cat ears and a lego for limbs and head walking on the streets so casually is also weird, yet you don't see nor hear me complaining."
Shiranui again, twitched. "Cheeky asshole."
Azrael grinned, "Cheeky brat."
"L-Lucas-sama, cou-could you please don't rile up my cousin anymore."
Azrael huffed, "It's not my fault your cousin is so easy to rile up."
Ienari just sighed.
Azrael turn his attention back to Shiranui, "That said, your quirk is really fascinating and familiar, it remind me of that one person."
Huh? He knew someone with the same quirk as him?
"Say, the word Mare Sky wouldn't perhaps mean anything to you by chance wouldn't it?" A weird feeling of nostalgia suddenly hit him.
Iridescent angel wings emerging from his back—M̶͔̯̾̋́͡ ̶͚̱͐̌̕͞a͖̘ͤ́͏̶ ̴̟͚̉̚͘͞ṟ̴̛̫̋̉̕ ̸̥̮̃͌͝͞e̵̷̘̭͋ͤ͞

"I… it sounds—" felt "—familiar…", it felt like something that he should know yet not at the same time.
"What is it?", he asked the vigilante, but Azrael just smiled infuriatingly at him, being mysterious all of the sudden. "I had my suspicion, but if you aren't aware then I supposed it isn't my place to say it."
Shiranui pinch the bridge of his nose, "…then why said it in the first place."
Azrael shrugged, "I'm a troll and a curious individual, just be glad that I'm not a gun toting baby with a fedora and a yellow pacifier that came to train your cousin to be the tenth Mafia boss of a Italian Mafia famiglia." Wait, what?
"…what", Ienari voiced out what's on his mind, Azrael just tilt his head innocently to the side. "…what?"
Unfortunately before they could get their answers from the vigilante, Auntie came and remind them that Ienari would be late for the UA sports festival.
"I-I forgot!" Ienari shrieked, then a black portal on the floor suddenly appeared. His cousin fell on it with a shriek after Azrael kick him to it.
Azrael sighed, "Seriously, you guys forgot that I could just opened up a portal to UA with my quirk, I've been there at last year's sports festival after all. Getting there wouldn't be much of a problem." He vanished on the same portal that swallowed his cousin before he could say anything.
Shiranui sighed, what did he do to deserve this? Is it because one of his alternative self killed the Japanese Emperor and the Prime Minister? Or the one were he he became the Dark Lord in that Harry Potter Parallel world? Maybe it was the one were he destroyed the Earth?! That's it isn't it?!
He went to the kitchen and take a pack of marshmallows, absentmindedly wondering why he had suddenly developed cravings of them lately.
He pinched the brigde of his nose and sighed. What he did in those parallel world aside, reading that man is beyond him. Even his quirk, which became more stable now than the first time (in fact, its getting stronger. He could see things further from his point of origin now. That Harry Potter Universe is the proof.) just couldn't reach the vigilante.
At least, it's his cousin that has to deal with the vigilante instead of him. He doesn't know what he will do in that case if he did. Azrael also seems to know things about him that even he is not aware of.
He doesn't want to get involve in their shenanigans, too much chaos. This reality could only take too much bullshit before collapsing with All for One and his protege on the loose. He doesn't know whether to curse and strangle the gods for letting Azrael reincarnate in this reality or to thank them because it was Azrael that they only let reincarnate instead of other far more sinister and problematic entities that exist in the sea of possibilities.
…Unfortunately for Shiranui, his thoughts are unheard by them.
He also didn't notice the gleam in Lucas' eyes when he once mentioned Majin in their conversation. Later on, he'll regret ever ignoring the weird warning about Mischief, Chaos and Contradiction.
And it will be too late before he even realise his mistakes in the now near future.
"WELCOME TO THE UA'S SPORTS FESTIVAL!"
Everyone is excited to watched this years sport festival. Why you ask? It's because the famous Hakui is participating as first year.
No one had ever saw him use his quirk in action. Many thought of it as a physical enhancement due to how strong he was. Others says it was a intelligence quirk while others claims that it was a weak water quirk. The last one was completely random considering how physical Hakui seems but thats just how far the theories online goes on.
(If only they knew how close yet so far that last one to the truth is…)
They also heard that two other teens from the Pflegen Dorf (Foster Village), the place where Hakui came from, are also attending at UA at the same year.
Everyone gawked when they finally saw every one at the festival.
They… they are first years right…?
"[制紙: 爆発]!" - "[Seishi: Bakuhatsu]!" (Mastery of Paper: Explosion)
There was a big explosion.
"A-AMAZING! WHO KNEW YOU COULD MAKE PAPER EXPLODE!"
Yes, who would have known…
At the VIP part of the audience, a suit wearing boy with curly dark green hair with heterochromatic red and green eyes and freckles on his face could be seen cackling madly.
"You're enjoying this too much, Vii-sama."
"[Schrödinger is right Father, you're enjoying this too much.]"
Mikumo, in his normal twelve years old Deku form, grinned. "Don't tell me you two aren't."
"We didn't said that."
"Thought so.", Mikumo grinned further before glancing to the other part of the stadium. He saw a teen that looks like eleven to twelve years old with a wavy hair and striking blue eyes.
"[Father? Is there a problem?]", A.C.A.I.-kun spoked, worried from his phone. So does the other children he brought with him to watch the festival.
Tsuyu blinked, "Boss-sama? Are you okay?"
He smiled reassuring at his phone and the others, "Nothing A.C.A.I.-kun, Tsuyu-kun, I just saw someone."
Mikumo smiled inside in nostalgia, figures he'd be here to watch his student.
The Sports Festival is important to UA students. After all, its a place where hero course students could showcase all their Quirks talents for future sponsors in the crowd and for General Education Students to show what they got so that they could be transferred to the Hero course. Though that may not be possible this year.
Why you ask?
Talismans with the characters 爆発 (Explosion) float in the air and surrounded the arena. A white haired Hero course student is floating in the air, paper covering him in the form of a majestic Shinto priest robes made in paper. The talismans glowed dangerously.
"[制紙: 爆発]!" - "[Seishi: Bakuhatsu]!" (Mastery of Paper: Explosion)
BOOM!
Everyone winced from the loud sound, though not from the explosion.
"A-AMAZING! WHO KNEW YOU COULD MAKE PAPER EXPLODE!" Present Mic yelled at the microphone at the announcers booth.
Why a person with a voice quirk need a microphone is beyond them.
The resulting wreckage from that one explosion was enough to leave multiple craters at the arena.
A black haired girl(boy?) with cat ears and two cat tails yelled at the white haired one who made the explosion. "Going serious right off the bat huh?! Shirako!"
The white haired student now named Shirako, grinned, "Nothing less with you and Amehiko-san as opponents, Matatabi." Then he frowned, "Speaking of which, where is Amehiko-san?"
Meanwhile, a pale blue haired teen is standing at the middle of the arena. He raised his foot and slammed it to the ground.
"[天変地異説: 軽震]" - "[Tenpenchiisetsu: Keishin]" (Catastrophism: Mild Earthquake)
The earth shaked and everyone in the arena stumbled to the ground.
"What the—?"
"Earthquake!?"
Shirako is unaffected by the tremors on the ground as he was floating. The black haired Nekomata girl (or is it boy? Everyone is still confused by their gender) stood firm in the arena and didn't stumble to the ground like the others.
"Thank God for kinetic energy absortion." They mumbled then turn to Shirako and yelled.
"The fuck!? That's Amehiko just now isn't it!?"
Still floating in the air, Shirako turn to the origin of the tremors and found the aforementioned person in the middle of the arena with his foot firmly planted on the ground, "A pale blue haired teenager with the power to shake the entire arena with nothing but pure power? Yes, It's him."
Matatabi cursed, "Fuck, as if he wasn't strong enough already, Miku-jiiji just had to teach him how to use Qigong to drastically enhance himself."
"To be fair, Shishou did taught me Shinto form of magic among… other things and you could probably control almost all energy known to man if you trained and try hard enough."
"But none of us yet, besides him, had the damn power to level buildings with nothing but his fucking pinky. What did it even warrant for him to for go his damned quirk and trash us with nothing but pure physical strength?!"
Shirako went silent for a moment, "…I heard shishou bribed him with cookies earlier."
Matatabi pulled on their ears on top of his head, "Just fucking great, now we have a goddamned Overpowered Cookie Monster after our heads." Then they sighed, "Though to be fair, we'll probably do the same in his position."
Shirako nodded sagely, "Those cookies are to kill for."
"…don't you mean 'to die for'?"
"No, I would literally kill just to have one. So does you and Amehiko-san and anyone who have eaten shishou's cookies in that matter."
The cat mutant rubbed its face, exasperated, "You know what? Fuck it. I don't remember anyone telling me to be the voice of reason when as far as I know, I'm just as crazy at the two of you."
"No, no, no, no, no, you need to be the voice of reason Matatabi. That way we don't have to worry about the arena not being able to stand what we dish out."
"Can't it, you origami bastard, I'm setting loose too."
"…you heathen cross dresser, think of the audience!"
"Pale face bastard!"
"Cross dressing cat girl trap!"
"TAKE THAT BACK YOU ORIGAMI BASTARD! I AIN'T A CROSS DRESSER NOR A TRAP YOU HEAR ME!"
"MAKE ME"
"OH YOU'RE SO DEAD NOW!"
Black energy surge from Matatabi, it thickened and started to cover his whole body, "[飽和]" - "[Houwa]" (Saturation)
"[具現]" - "[Gugen]" (Incarnation), It completely enveloped him until nothing but black could be seen on him. Tails covered in the same energy swished in the air, cat ears twitched at the transformation, two blank circles in place of what used to be his eyes. Matatabi crouched on all fours in the ground.
"[猫又]!" - "[Nekomata]!" (Mythical Two-tailed Monster Cat)*
"[魔族猫戦術: 魔猫スト]" - "[Mazokunekosenjutsu: Manekosuto]!" (Demonic Cat Tactics: Demon Cat Strike!), Matatabi then pounced at Shirako at high speed, nearly breaking the sound barrier.
"[制紙 - 折り紙: 紙切]" - "[Seishi - Origami: Kamigiri]" (Mastery of Paper - Origami: Papercutter)
A Katana made of paper Talismans suddenly appeared in Shirako's hands and blocked the incoming strike from Matatabi. The shock wave from the collision is enough to create strong gust of wind.
They continue to throw powerful blows at each other. Yet, no one seems to be going down soon. The battle is so intense that no one could even hope to intervene. It's just so way out of their league.
…And just to add the salt to the wounds, there is also the other person who keeps wrecking the arena without even using his quirk and another one who was supposed to be Quirkless yet keep on making other competitors that didn't go down from the onslaught of earthquake go down like flies, and is now fighting the pale blue haired Cookie Monster on a warpath.
"In the name of and for Tou-sama's cookies sake, you shall know Pain." The Pale blue haired teen, Amehiko, raised his fist, then blurred down.
"[天変地異説: 隕星 突破]" - "[Tenpenchiisetsu: Insei Toppa]" (Catastrophism: Meteor Breakthrough)
"I won't go down without a fight! Lucas-sama will be disappointed if I do!" A fluffy black haired teen facing the other teen yelled back.
"[Unheimlich Kunst - Dritte Aussehen: Pirouette Blitz]" (Uncanny Art - Third Form: Pirouette Lighting), The black haired teen spin on his toe and like lighting, he strike his other leg with fearsome power and accuracy, meeting the disaster making fist of Amehiko.
The competitors are down to half due to those people who keep on pulling super moves after super moves after super moves. And It's just the second round as well, not even the last round! Yet the arena is in chaos, they swear they saw Cementos crying about damage repairs!
These people are clearly crazy so understandably, they don't feel much hope in standing out in the sports festival. So instead, everyone made a conscious decision and focus on something else entirely.
"[天変地異説…]" - "[Tenpenchiisetsu…]" (Catastrophism…)
"[制紙…]" - "[Seishi…]" (Mastery of Paper…)
"[魔族猫戦術…]!" - "[Mazokunekosenjutsu…]!" (Demonic Cat tactics…)
"[Unheimlich Kunst…]!" (Uncanny Art…)
Survive.
…And even if they didn't, there's another year after this right?
"AND THAT INCLUDE THE SPORTS FESTIVAL'S SECOND ROUND! WE WILL RETURN AFTER A SHORT BREAK SO STAY TUNE FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT HOME!"
Ienari sighed in relief at the announcement. He managed to get in to the third round, though not without extreme efforts. The light blue haired teen, Satooya-san his mind supplies, really gave him a hard fight. For a moment, he thought that he was fighting Lucas-sama with the raw strength that he showed.
Though not surprising, considering that he was famous in the public with his moniker Hakui (White Robe) as an intern working and living at the Pflegen Dorf under the Majin.
The earth wrecking strength Ienari has is the result of grudging months of hellish intensive training near to death and constant healing and rejuvination courtesy of Lucas-sama. Without Lucas-sama, Ienari would be nowhere as strong as he currently is, just a physically fit yet clumsy Quirkless idiot wanting to be a hero.
He doesn't know that much about Satooya-san but if Hyouko-san and Kamishiro-san is anything to go by, then Ienari couldn't let his guard down around Satooya-san in a fight. Also, from what he could gather, Satooya-san is just equally as strong as him, if not stronger. Add to the fact that he isn't showing his quirk yet, which is no doubt a catastrophe if his techniques names is anything to be believed, then Ienari couldn't relax just yet.
He just wished to whatever force there are that he wouldn't have to fight Satooya-san right off the bat at the first round of the round robin part of the festival.
"You three just couldn't hold back and not wrecked the arena couldn't you?" A girl with a long red hair with a rather large bust scowled at the three classmates of her.
The classmates in question sat in front of her.
"So-sorry…".the fluffy black haired one said meekly.
"I have no regrets, about what I did at the arena that is." The white haired, pale skin one shot back cooly.
"Do you honestly expect us to hold back with Amehiko, Hakui, from support course in the same field? That's just unfair prez." A androgynous two tailed male teen with a cat mutation shot back raising an eyebrow. Though his eyes are intently looks at the hanging watermelon like breast of the class president.
"I don't care if It's unfair or not, Cementos-sensei looks close to crying—"
"I think he did cried already." The feline teen, Matatabi, butted in. It was met by a glare from the class president.
"See what you guys did? Also—could stop staring at my breast with those rotten virgin eyes!"
"Oof!" Matatabi clutch his chest from the fantom pain of the blow.
"Critical hit…" the white haired one, Shirako, jabbed unhelpful.
Matatabi hissed at the class president, "It's not our fault we're virgin you bitch." He was ignored by the girl who turn to the other black haired teen in the group.
"And you!" She point at Ienari, Ienari looked startled.
"M-me?!" Ienari fearfully point at himself.
"Why aren't you staring?! In fact don't just stare—"
"You had issues…" Matatabi butted in unhelpful.
"You can touch them as well." The statement was met by various exclaim of jealousy from the males students of their class (who wants to curse Ienari for his luck as they wanted to be in his place) and the females (who wanted Ienari for themselves and wanted to offer the same thing).
"I-I-I t-think I'll pass… K-Kaguya-san." Ienari manage to stuttered out, a little dizzy and face completely red and smoking. He looks close to passing out.
Matatabi grumbled, "I don't really get how and why girls just throw themselves at him…"
"You're just jealous because instead of girls throwing themselves at you, it was boys that do instead." Shirako said turning at the clusters of fan boys waving at Matatabi.
"And to add salt to the injury, their all originally straight and became masochistic homos when you playfully winked and acting all hot shot at them."
Matatabi glared at Shirako, "It was you who tricked me to do it with that dare!"
"But it wasn't my fault that they turned gay when you winked at them." Shirako shot back cooly while pointing at Matatabi's fans.
"Tabbi-chan~! You're so cute!" A fat one with glasses cheered.
"Please be our Idol!"
A small teen that could be mistaken as a grade schooler agrued the other, "Idol?! Didn't you saw his abs when fighting Shachou*?! You could grate cheese on those abs! Tabbi-sama, please be my boyfriend!"
"He's so cool!"
"I know right?! Tabbi-sama MAKE ME PREGNANT!"
"What the fuck?! Who the fuck are you calling Tabbi-chan you creep! Go to hell!" Matatabi yelled throwing his still full water bottle at the creep square at the head. There was a satisfying thud… for the both of them that is.
One of them punched the fat one in the stomach, "The heck are you doing?! That bottle was supposed to hit me! ME!"
The fat one groan from the floor, "My face felt good~!"
"You asshole!"
"You're dead meat!"
Matatabi shivered at the sight, "What the fuck… they're a bunch of creeps."
"Now you know why I said 'masochistic homos'." Shirako said beside Matatabi.
"They're a bunch of gay M's… what the heck's even deal with the last one? Isn't he our classmate?!"
"Seiho-san has a interesting inherited mutation from his father's side that allows him to get pregnant from anal intercourse. His quirk is like yours to be honest, both with inherited mutation that doesn't have anything to do with the emitter part of your Quirks, he's also good looking, 172 centimeters tall and a certified gentleman before he turned in to one of your fanboys. Tall, blonde and handsome, literally every girls dream."
"I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT! ALSO, DON'T COMPARE ME TO THAT CREEP YOU PAPERED ASS BASTARD, I DIDN'T FORGOT THAT ONE OF THEM FUCKING CALLED YOU SHACHOU! WHAT ARE YOU THEIR MANAGER?!"
"Yes, yes I am. By the way, are you sure you don't want to? He's a certified Ikemen* you know, your children will 100% look gorgeous."
Matatabi sneered, black energy expelling from the corner of his mouth. "I don't care if he's a ikemen or a fucking jinmenken*. There won't be 100% gorgeous children that will be born, but I assure you, there will be gore the next round! You're not getting away unscathed you hear me?! You're gonna fucking die when we fight."
"Unfortunately, I can't die yet. I still need to be there for your wedding and be the godfather of your resulting children after all, I think Shishou could fix the same sex problem if you want kids."
"Stop thinking children and weddings! Also, stop shipping me with them! You sound like a sex trafficker, Jiiji won't be happy."
"He won't, unless he knew my plan."
"You bastard!"
"Yes, I am a bastard. There's nothing new there."
At the support courses seat, Amehiko felt relieved that he isn't in the hero course for some reason all of a sudden.
Mikumo is walking to the food stalls when he saw a familiar wavy black hair that he always envied before. The break is almost over (he may or may have spent his time laughing over Matatabi's misfortune when it came his feminine looks and his growing horde of fanboys. But if someone asks, he's playing Pokémon on his phone), so he asked Schrödinger to buy them lunch and went to Ame-kun for a bit before going back to the other children and Tsuyu-kun.
(Now that he though about it, it must have been a hilarious sight. A cat buying food in a food stall. He briefly wondered at the stall owners reaction to Schrödinger)
He sat besides Lucas while eating waffles. Lucas looked wary at the sudden action until a gleam of recognition shine on his eyes.
"Hey." Mikumo started, to which Lucas return with his own.
"Hey…"
The two of them sat and ate in silence for a few moments. Him eating his waffles with Lucas eating takoyaki.
Mikumo then snort, "Japan's most elusive vigilante is a twelve year old."
Lucas smiled, "Are you sure it's okay to walk around like that Deku-san? Midoriya Izuku died in a villain attack almost a year now."
Mikumo smiled back, though not looking "Well, who knows. As sad as it sounds, no one really cared for a Quirkless child that is Midoriya Izuku with a exception of few people that is mostly consisted of a explosive family, a father who is far away to actually do anything, and a mother who is already six feet bellow under."
Lucas frowned, "Humans of this Meta human society sure is concerning. My student was bullied just because of something that he couldn't control."
Mikumo smiled wistfully, picking on his waffles. "Though if one really think about it, superpowers or not, humans—Humanity has always been like that. Be it about the difference between religion, their ethnicity, the color of one's skin, black and white, Asian and European, Males and Females. Humanity always had a reason to express their out most hostility towards things that are different and are beyond their comprehension."
Lucas sighed, gulping his takoyaki a whole. "I suppose, no matter what society they in, Humans will always be the same as they are."
"Talking about Meta Human Society aside, How are you?" Mikumo asked before taking a bite from his waffle.
Lucas take a sip from his drink then answered, "I'm doing quite fine my self. The nightly rounds are somewhat fun. School is absolutely unhelpful with the exception of history."
Mikumo gave him a nod indicating that he's listening. Lucas went on, "The attention born from the quirk I possess is bothersome though. They're hell bent on putting me on a pedestal, they're also quite insistent that I should and would be involved in heroics in the future." he said with a scowl. If there's something that Lucas disliked, it was the mindless voice of the majority dictating him on what to do just because they want to.
"The foster care is also less than desirable. They weren't abusive, no, they're not. But they were neglectful and only wanted to ride on the fame that they are so sure that I would have due to my Quirk."
"I see."
"You seems to have more connection, just like you used to be. Also, Majin huh?"
Mikumo scoffed, "As much as I crave chaos, you know that I wasn't someone that who would blatantly call himself a god. People just started to call me Demon God due to my appearance and abilities."
Lucas shake his head exasperatedly, but it was the fond kind of one. "You're always a contradiction, wanting Apotheosis despite not wanting to be a god."
"Better safe than sorry, I do not want God slayers after me."
"Figures, what happened to wanting to dethrone Satan though?"
Mikumo scowl once again, "The Heathen banned me from Gehenna, Shamayim also has the same Idea. It seems that they had caught wind of my plan."
Lucas blinked at that, "Wait, what? Are you serious?"
"I only learned about it recently when I tried to summon demons. I never saw someone with a black exterior became so pale as they did when they saw me."
Shaking his head, Lucas sighed and chuckled. "Only you would scare demons without even trying."
"It's not like I willed it to happen. In fact, I'm quite curious about his physiology so I wanted him to stay for a while."
"What does it looks like? Is it humanoid? Eastern? Western? Islamic? Buddhist? You said it had black exterior right?" Lucas asked him with a enthusiasm reminiscent of a child in a Toy store. Mikumo chuckled, his cousin is just as enthusiastic as him when it comes to the obscure.
"Maybe at another time." Lucas pouted, which to Mikumo laughed light heartedly.
"Anyway, I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Who are you?" Lucas nearly choked at the question, he sputtered indignantly.
"Wh-wha? Vii-chan…!"
Mikumo closed his eyes, ignoring the sputtering of his company, "What do you desire?" Again, it was met by confused reaction coming from his now fellow curly hair company.
"Vii-chan, I don't understand—"
"How much are you awake?" Finally, a light of understanding came on Lucas' eyes. Lucas stare from his now empty takoyaki plate.
"I…" his gaze turn to his empty hands.
"Hakuzumu Koiro… Lucas Von Gluck… Sometimes, I don't know who I am." Mikumo stayed silent, understanding that the two of them had different circumstances. Mikumo never forgets, whether he wants to or not.
"Using the name Koiro always felt wrong to me, despite of it being fitting for my Quirk. And to be honest, I not particularly fond of it, it doesn't feel real. Using the name Lucas though, just felt right. I still feel as if something is missing every now and then but lately, something made me realize that…" Lucas curled his hand in to fist, turning to Mikumo.
"I'm Lucas Von Gluck, through and through."
Mikumo didn't said anything. He stood up and finished his waffles. "You're still a little sleepy but you are awake nonetheless. And it seems that you have already decide on your part."
"Vii-chan?"
Mikumo grinned, "What's your plan now Lucchan?"
Lucas blinked then grinned back, "Oh, I don't really have one to be honest, I just do what I like at the moment. Oh! I'm also currently tutoring someone at the hero course, his name is Hamagure Ienari, he's Quirkless and he really remind me of Tsuna from KHR! I got the half of mind to cosplay as Reborn just to mess with him."
"The same here, I just do things when I feel like it. You taught your student my [Uncanny Art] right?"
"Yep!", Lucas said popping the p at the end. "He's doing so well in it, It's like he's born for the style itself!"
"I know, I saw him earlier at the second round. You did a great job at him. Add Qigong with it and he will be a force to be reckoned with."
Lucas rubbed the back of his head, "hehe… thanks! I only started him on the basics so no killing people with his fingers yet, just a mild physical enhancement. Oh! I saw that you also take on a few students! I recognized those forms, that savageness and the mean streak miles away."
"Those are my kids this time around. They only had me as their sparring partner so they aren't use to keeping their power levels to something that is not mind breaking."
Lucas grinned then slung his arm over Mikumo's shoulder, "Your kids huh? You never actively claimed your charges and called them 'My kids' before. What is this? Finally over your fear of being a father? Huh? Huh?"
Mikumo laughed, "I don't know myself. I think that It's still there, just dealing with it better than before."
Lucas shifted his position a little and turn to hugged Mikumo, "I'm glad that your managing well Vii-chan, I'm sure Nee-chan would be happy." Mikumo closed his eyes in nostalgia, revelling at the contact, "Yeah… she would."
Lucas break contact and sat back. "Hey Vii-chan, you think Nee-chan is…?"
Mikumo sadly shake his head, "Sadly, she isn't."
"…oh."
"Hopefully, she waits for us before deciding to take over Gehenna, Sheol and Shamayim on her own."
"…Somehow, I could see her ditching us and doing it on her own."
"Well, she is my wife. It's only a natural thing to assume. And It's not something that is completely baseless either."
The two of them grinned before laughing maniacally all together.
"I don't care if you're a hot shot or not! Your [Super Strength] can't do anything to my water!" The person who yelled brought his hands together and a strong torrent of water suddenly appeared and shot towards his opponent.
His opponent raised his palm and the water stilled as if someone pressed the pause button.
The person who summoned the water gawked as his eyes widen. "Wha—! How?! Wasn't your quirk supposed to be some sort of [Super Strength] or something?!"
In response, the still waters warped in to a giant sphere of water.
"[天変地異説: 水竜 天滅]" - "[Tenpenchiisetsu: Suiryuu Tenmetsu]" (Catastrophism: Water Dragon of Heavenly Destruction)
The sphere of water sinked to the ground like water from a watering can being absorb by the soil in a potted plant. Soon, a torrent swirling horde of eastern dragon made of water violently emerged from the ground, ripping the arena in the process and made its way towards its former summoner.
He didn't stand a chance right from the start.
"UNBELIEVABLE! SATOOYA APPEARS TO BE UNBEATABLE! ON TOP OF ALL MIGHT LEVELS OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH, HE ALSO HAS THE POWER TO BEND THE ELEMENTS! IS THERE A THING THAT COULD STOP THIS STORM THAT IS SATOOYA AMEHIKO, THE UNPARALLELED WHITE ROBE OF THE SUPPORT COURSE?! AND FOR THE RECORD, WHY IS HE EVEN IN THE SUPPORT COURSE?!"
At the Heroes booth, some of the Heroes have the same thought.
One of the Pro-heroes sighed, "I know that I already said it but It's really a shame that he isn't in the Hero course."
"We know, but we can't really do anything about considering… you know who." They pointed to the VIP area, a man with blue hair and pink sweater could be seen in the front VIP seat along with numerous children beside and behind him.
"Thats… Metamon right? Didn't he work for—"
"Yes, its because of his boss that we, and the HPSC can't do anything about Hakui being in the support course."
The Pro-hero pinched his nose, "Right… His boss is one of the major stock holder and one of U.A.'s Board members."
"You know, I'm kinda surprised he isn't here himself. I heard that he's overprotective to his charges."
"Yeah, me too. Wonder were he is."
"Let's just wish that he isn't with Nezu."
Everyone shivered at the implications. One super genius that could take over humanity without breaking a sweat is enough. They don't need a two of them, together. That's just wishing for death.
That or insanity. And they're pretty sure death is more kinder than the last option.
At the VIP, Metamon is cheering vehemently for Amehiko, Shirako and Matatabi.
"Wooohooo!!! Do your best! Everyone!"
"Tsuyu-nii? Are you okay? You look really excited."
Tsuyu blinked, "Of course Hito-chan! It's just that it's Tsuyu-nii's first time being in the U.A. Sports festival!"
The purple haired child, Hitoshi, blinked. "Really?"
Tsuyu nod eagerly at the boy.
Mikumo chuckled, "You see, Toshi-kun. Tsuyu-kun over there wanted to be at U.A. when he was young, he failed the exams unfortunately."
"Oh… I see." Hitoshi nods in understanding. He turn his attention to the person with black wavy hair and blue eyes beside Mikumo.
Which he never noticed before.
"Uh… Tou-sama? Who's that?" Hitoshi asked Mikumo, gaining the attention of everyone around them. True to his words, there really is a boy besides him. Why didn't they notice him just now?
Tsuyu turn to the person in question. For some reason the kid besides Mikumo looks really familiar, it's like he already saw him somewhere else.
"Guten tag everyone! I'm Koiro Hakuzumu, but you can call me Lucas. I'm Vii-chan's cousin!" The kid—Man—now known as Koiro or Lucas as he insist, grinned at them.
Everyone, the kids, Tsuyu, and the other teens in the booth was surprise. Did he just said he was Mikumo's cousin?
"Yes, I did!"
Everyone's eyes widen. Did he just read what they're thinking?!
"Nope!" Lucas said popping the 'P', then chuckled. "It's just obvious with the face you kids are making."
That's… that technique is…
"Your kids are soooo adorable, Vii-chan!" Lucas gushed at them.
Then the air suddenly became cold and he smiled full of razor sharp teeth they swore that wasn't there earlier. "They're so adorable, I want to eat them."
Everyone's blood runs cold.
What.
Mikumo slapped the back of Lucas' head. "Stop scarring my children."
Everyone sighed in relief.
"That's my job, stop stealing it just as you enter their lives."
Everyone sweat dropped at Mikumo's reasons and Lucas pout, "You're taking this Father role very intense, Vii-chan."
Mikumo huffed, "They do insisted on calling me Father, I might as well take it seriously instead of half assing it."
"Awww… that's not true Vii-chan, you've never and wouldn't half ass anything!"
"You're biased about everything I do and we both know it."
"Aww… but Vii-chan!"
Everyone watched the interaction between the two. They never saw they're guardian, they're boss, Mikumo, act so carefree around someone outside the mansion. And even then he still had his guard up.
But Tsuyu, A.C.A.I., and Schrödinger, who is sitting in Tsuyu's head, could see it. This boy—Man, is actually close and important enough to Mikumo to make his guard down. And not only that, but the man has a presence that is similar to Mikumo. Watching them banter without actuall bite made them realize something.
He's Mikumo's family by blood from his past.
And more importantly, someone who is his equal.
Never they had saw anyone that could be considered close to that, yet here he is, talking and laughing with Mikumo like a long lost friend or in this case, a family.
Tsuyu pulled out his phone and open a picture from his gallery.
"They looked the same."
They heard Lucas chuckled— which is oddly reminiscent of Mikumo's, "I really wondered about that as well sometimes."
He smiled at them, "I mean, Vii-chan doesn't look like anything he was before right?"
That smile is the last straw. Now, there is no doubt that he is really Mikumo's cousin.
"Oh look! The cat boy kid is fighting next!"
"No hard feeling prez, but you're going to lose." Matatabi said grinning to the red haired girl in front of him.
"I'm afraid that if there's someone is gonna lose, It's you." The 1-A president, Kaguya, said grinning back.
"Nah, I really need to strangle a certain white haired asshole at the finals so I'm afraid I can't lose."
"Same here, I can't lose this round. I still need to grope and molest— I mean fight! yes fight. I still need to fight Hamagure-kun! you didn't hear anything other than that, understand?" she said, her voice dropping in octave at the last part.
Matatabi's eye twitched, "Damn, talk about thirsty. You females sure have a lot of issues."
She growled, "I'll show you issues, trap."
Now it was Matatabi who was growling, "Now you made it personal."
"Hit a nerve huh?"
"Shut up bitch."
"I can't wait to see you grovel with nothing but your underwear."
"I'll make you choke on my dick and your own panties."
"Not if you choke on my breast first."
In the back ground, Midnight seems to be breathing hard and licking her lips as she grip on her whip with a grin that shouldn't be caught on cam with kids below legal age watching on national television. Besides her, Cementos cough not so discreetly.
Midnight grumbled, "As much as I want to watch were this is going we have a match to start."
At the VIP, Schrödinger and A.C.A.I. shared a look while Tsuyu, who has Schrödinger on top of his head, just watched the match without noticing the interaction between the competitors below.
"[Are they flirting? Is that how humans does it? My database doesn't exactly include human courtship files]" A.C.A.I. said from the hologram coming from the device attached to Schrödinger's collar.
The cat grumbled, "I don't know. But somehow, I doubt that's how It's done."
Beside Mikumo, Lucas leaned to Mikumo's ear and said something, "Somehow, I got the feeling that this fight shouldn't be aired on TV.
"Don't worry, I feel the same." Mikumo has this evil look on his eyes when he said it.
Lucas give him a obviously fake horrified look, "You're evil Vii-chan, I know what your thinking."
"The internships will be very fun."
"I want front line seat on the impending chaos."
"Consider it done."
The fight end with Matatabi topless and in his boxers proving that—yes, he's a boy. If the six pack abs and the flat lean muscled chest is anything to go by. While his opponent Kaguya is in her shorts while also topless and is currently covering her breast from public view.
No one knows why the staff hadn't cut the footage yet but regardless, the Matatabi fanclub is busy taking photos and videos while screaming (Read: Squealing) at the fight (Read: Matatabi being shirtless).
"Why is no one stopping them from taking that girl's photos?!", One of the nearby audience, a middle age man said pointing at the fanclub in concern.
One of the members gave him a stink eye, "Who said It's her that we're taking pictures of?"
The man stared dumbly, "Uh… what?"
And back at the arena, less said about Midnight, the better.
Just… no.
"And thus this day, he shall be called The Boxer Guy albeit due to different context." Lucas said dramatically posing over his seat, most of the kids giggled.
He sit down after a few giggles, "This fight would surely go viral in the internet."
He turn to Mikumo with wide eyes and a shit eating grin, "He'll be trending in Twitter and and other Social media sites in no time."
"On a side note, Lucchan. if ever that your student is scouted by Nighteye, make him ignore it." Mikumo said to Lucas, looking at the two semi naked combatants at the arena.
Lucas blinked, "Oh right, Lemillion is his intern. Wouldn't want to steal that from him."
"Yes, I don't care about canon but I'd rather let my self be subjected to my wife's BDSM fantasies than destroy someone's bright future."
"Nee-chan's fantasies are a bit Wild Vii-chan."
Mikumo rolled his eyes, "I know, you're literally talking to her husband."
"Well, your sadistic tendencies are certainly worse than hers."
Mikumo ignored the last part, "Anyway, if he received an offer make him ignore it. I'll gave him an internship offer instead."
"Got it. It would be interesting experience for him."
The two of them return their attention to the arena.
"…Are you sure you're okay?"
"U-uhm… yes? I-I mean yes! Yes I am!"
"…if your sure then." Shirako attacked. To be honest, he isn't sure how he would fight his opponent.
It's wasn't that she was strong—well, she is strong, her Quirk makes her strong. But she isn't particularly skilled per se.
"Kyaaaah!!!" She yelped as she tripped to the floor, making a girl shaped crater. Shirako sweat dropped, how did that happened?
"…Are you really sure you're okay?"
"Uwaaaa…", she groaned as she climbed out of the crater of her own creation.
He sighed, better finished this fast then. He doesn't want to humiliate her further.
He raised his hands and aimed.
"[折り紙の竜巻]" -"[Origami no Tatsumaki]" (Origami Cyclone)
She was hit by a cyclone of paper.
The result was expected.
"Ne! ne! Boss-sama, Boss-sama! Tsuyu has this weird feeling of kinship, could I send a offer?!"
"Sure"
"Hey Vii-chan, that girl—"
"I know."
"She could—"
"I know."
Lucas pouted, "Will you even let me finish what I was supposed to say?"
"We can't just info dump on the readers Lucas, they'll lose interest quickly than they already do if we did."
"…The readers?"
"Yes the readers."
Lucas blinked, "Wait, you mean that weird sensation I always feel like pressing against me is the fourth wall? And the weird paranoia I always had is the—"
"Well, most of the time."
"And you didn't tell me?! I feel hurt Vii-chan! Such betrayal! Where's the love?!"
Mikumo's eye twitched, "Stop being dramatic you brat."
Lucas pouted, "You could have at least tell me! I've missed so much fourth wall breaking opportunities!"
"This isn't particularly that kind of fic Lucchan."
"But still—!"
In the background, the kids and A.C.A.I. could only stare at the conversation in utter confusion, "Acai-san, what are they talking about?"
"[Acai-san ja nai, A.C.A.I. da, Also I don't really had a clue my self.]"
Schrödinger sweat dropped a little, "I feel like we just had a glimpse at a higher plane of reality we aren't aware of."
Tsuyu, as innocent as he is, join the conversation, "Ne Schrödinger-san, why is Boss-sama and Lucas-san is talking about different kind of Fanfiction tropes?"
"[…]"
Matatabi eyes twitched, "You got to be shitting me."
"HIS FISTS ARE DISASTERS ON TOP OF HIS QUIRK, HE MAY AS WELL BE A DISASTER HIMSELF! STORMING FROM THE SUPPORT COURSE! THE UNPARALLELED WHITE ROBE! SATOOYA AMEHIKO!"
"Ma-Matatabi-san err… Hello?"
"AND AT THE OTHER SIDE! OUR RESIDENT YOKAI WHO HAVE ALREADY CATCHED THE HEARTS OF THE MAJORITY! THE BEWITCHING NEKOMATA! HYOUKO MATATABI!" This cue loud cheering from the audience with… majority of them being males with a few females here and there.
Matatabi grumbled at his intro, "Are you sober now? You wrecked everyone earlier."
Amehiko's face became red as a tomato, "So-sorry… It's just… the cookies."
Matatabi sighed, "Of course It's the cookies."
Amehiko sound offended and embarrassed, "Matatabi-san!"
"At least It's you who I lost to, do me a favor and kick Shirako's ass for me at the finals if he won okay?"
"But Matatabi-san! we aren't even fighting yet."
At the VIP, Lucas lean beside Mikumo, "Hey Vii-chan, the blue haired one is your current protege isn't it?"
"I wouldn't say it like that, but he is my first student in this place."
"[天変地異説: 千竜 の 絶望 - 阿鼻]" - "[Tenpenchiisetsu: Senryuu no Zetsubou - Abi]" (Catastrophism: Thousand Dragons of Despair - Avici*)
Thousand elemental dragons emerge from the arena and trashed Matatabi.
"Protege it is." Lucas said whistling before turning to Mikumo, "What is his quirk even?"
"It's a gentle molecular manipulation Quirk variant, mostly leaning on things related to water. It took a bit of concentration from him when manipulating things that aren't water related."
"Oh I see. Why is that though?"
"Mostly his family tree. His family tree are mostly consist of people with water variant Quirk, with a few exception here and there."
"So accumulated mutation from heritage?"
"Yes."
"Interesting…"
"It's a pleasure to be your opponent, Hamagure-san." Shirako said to the fluffy black haired teen in front of him.
"T-The pleasure is all mine Kamishiro-san."
Shirako swiped his hands as paper moved in a pattern that leave the audience mystified.
"Though I admit, I didn't expect to be on stalemate with you."
Ienari wiped his forehead off sweat. "Me too, you are a strong opponent."
Then he banished.
"But you aren't fast enough." He said appearing behind Shirako.
His sneak attack is met by a blocking forearm, Ienari's eyes widen in surprise.
Shirako winced as his arm almost give in from the heavy strike you wouldn't expect from someone of Ienari's appearance. But he digress, Amehiko-san is practically the same with his unassuming appearance.
"Please don't be assuming that just because I preferred long range, I won't be good at close combat." Ienari jump back and Shirako flew back to put a distance between the two of them.
"Why? Because I mostly spend my training sparing with Amehiko-san, who is a close combat expert despite his mastery over his Quirk." Shirako said cooly, you could mistake him as a Aburame and Uchiha hybrid if he had black hair, black eyes and weren't at the wrong fandom.
Ienari smiled nervously as he fell in to a familiar stance, "I should have known."
Shirako just smiled and nod sagely, "Yes, yes, you should."
At the Pro-heroes booth, a sidekick called The number four hero, Best Jeanist's attention towards a unique student, "Jeanist-san, that one student's Mastery over his Quirk over there kind of remind me of you."
Best Jeanist, Hakamata Tsunagu, glanced at the student in question. Prim, strong will, mastery over a Quirk that requires high concentration.
And great fashion taste, one couldn't forget that.
He hummed to himself, "May be extending an offer wouldn't hurt."
Ienari won in the end, though barely, by pulling off a tornado with nothing but basic Qigong physical enhancement. The crowd went wild in disbelieve.
"He just pulled a tornado out of nowhere—"
"Absurd!"
"Is he really Quirkless?!"
At the VIP booth, Lucas peered in interest. "Strong. I knew that the effects of Qigong with a Meta Human using it will be much more devastating than what the two of us have been using pre-incarnation before but It's still fascinating to watch.
Mikumo nod at Lucas' words, "We're mostly been able to use Qigong in physical enhancements and advanced perception but even then, we would not be able to perform such thing as a miniature tornado."
Lucas sighed, "I remember working so hard that I cried blood just to utilize Qi but here, they just need months and they good to go."
"The human body evolved to be able to withstand Quirks, regardless if they possessed one themselves. So It's not surprising that they manage to utilize Qigong in that extent."
Lucas pouted and huffed, "It's so unfair!"
"On the bright side, we're able to use Qi that we've accumulated from our past life and the ones we had now. It also helps that manipulating Qigong is ten times more easier now."
"I guess that's true."
Ienari stand nerviously at the tunnel towards the arena. It should be obvious by now that he doesn't stand a chance against Satooya-san.
A top peak physical prowess on par with a powerful large scale elemental manipulation Quirk, the Quirkless Ienari wouldn't stand a chance.
His only hope is Qigong manipulation that he only knew the basics of.
Which he was sure that Satooya-san knew how to utilize and is no doubt much more skilled in it compared to him if his physical attacks that shaked the whole arena is anything to go by.
He knew that he doesn't have a chance but backing out wouldn't bring him anywere. He could practically Lucas-sama yelling "Plus utra!" at him.
Wait, what?
"EVEN IF YOU DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE, STEP FORWARD! SURPASS YOUR LIMIT, RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! PLUS ULTRA!"
So it wasn't his imagination, Lucas-sama is really cheering for him!
Ienari's shadow moved as if it had It's own life. Half of Lucas-sama's body emerge from it. He blinked in surprise.
"Lucas-sama…?"
Lucas-sama grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up, "Show me how much you've grown, Ienari-kun."
He then began to sink back to Ienari's shadow.
"Let me see what you got, Little Clam."
He vanished, leaving Ienari alone in the tunnel.
Ienari closed his eyes as he slapped both of his hands on his cheeks, strengthening his resolve.
Right, who cares if he lose? At least he gave it his all.
He turn to were Lucas-sama's voice come from earlier.
He'll show how much he'd grown under his tutelage.
At the back of his mind, he briefly wondered why and how his tutor is in the VIP area.
In the end, Ienari lost to Amehiko. Though not before putting up a fight and throwing everything he got in his sleeve against him.
He manage to make Amehiko to take him seriously in the end so he wasn't that sad that he lost.
Well… he is, but it wasn't that much.
Meanwhile, Lucas is grinning ear to ear.
"So Vii-chan, what do you think?"
Mikumo smiled, "Not bad, he has fire burning in his eyes. Awareness of himself and what he is, yet not backing down despite that. Something that you search in all of your students everytime you take one."
Lucas smiled in nostalgia, "Understanding of your own flaws, accepting them, and having the will and drive to move forward even if the very world is against you, not giving up no matter what. I like people who are like that."
Mikumo ruffles his hair, "Something that remind you of you of what you work so hard as a child."
Lucas giggled at the gesture, it remind him of when he was a child. "Yes, and It's because of Ienari-kun that I realized things that should have been obvious all along."
"Don't be disappointed, It's only that when my Quirk activated that I even remembered at all. And only because of my hyperthymesia that I remembered every single thing, unlike you who remember things little by little."
Lucas blinked, "Really?"
Mikumo nodded, "Really."
They watched as participants and the placers are gathered at the arena, Amehiko in the first place, Ienari in the second, and Matatabi in the third.
Shirako and Matatabi fought on who was to place as third in the end. Matatabi won in the end by pulling a cheap trick and Mikumo is sure that the androgynous boy didn't regret it one bit.
What a strong grudge that child has.
Lucas cackled at the cunning and savage nature of the boy, "That boy is savage, I like him."
Mikumo joined Lucas and cackled, "Of course you would."
And this year's unique festival ends. The children in Mikumo's care that came with him in the festival are happy that they got to see it in person.
Mikumo turn to Lucas who is busy cooing at the children. He's currently hugging Toshi-kun, Shinsou Hitoshi (though Toshi-kun preferred to use the name Satooya in school) like a Teddy bear with his chin on top of the kids head. Toshi-kun was a little flustered considering that their practically the same height and therefore, in a awkward position.
"Hey Lucchan, You said that you're Foster homed right?"
Lucas turn his head to Mikumo's direction that he almost get a whiplash, "Are you saying what I think you're going to say?" He asked, vibrating in excitement. Mikumo could practically see him blurring in his seat with Toshi-kun still in his lap.
Mikumo tilt his head, smirking. "Depends on what it is."
"Fantastisch! Hey Vii-chan, you think I could change my name too? I don't really like Koiro that much!"
"Sure, after you let go of Toshi-kun first though."
Toshi-kun looked more purple than he usually is and looked like he was about to pass out from dizziness.
"S-stop shaking… 'm dizzy… t-throwing up."
"Oops."
A young spiky haired blonde just finished rewatching at the video on his phone, It features this years UA Sports festival.
For some reason it doesn't make any sense, just like his life for that matter.
There was a cat person with two tails (two tails, what is he, a yokai?) who he couldn't figured out whether it was a boy or a girl until the finals when cat ears went and fight a girl to a goddamn strip match.
There was a guy who control and make papers explode (which he wouldn't admit out loud that was pretty damn cool) and never seems to run out of stock.
A support student who for some reason is trashing the whole competition with earthquakes and things that shouldn't be possible for an extra, yet he did just that.
(He isn't even using his Quirk! How does that work?!)
And most importantly, a Quirkless, and from the hero course no less! Keeping up the fight against the goddamned overpowered support student of all people and almost manage to draw a stalemate in the second round!
(He made a tornado at the semifinals, how the fuck is that possible?!)
He looked down at his bright red shoes, holding the two notebooks in font of him, one tattered and burned and one in pristine condition with his hand writing.
He run his hand over the cover of the tattered and burned one, his hand stopping at the number found on the top corner of it.
He let out a sigh. He doesn't know why he had the damn thing, but one day It's just there among other things.
He took another bite from his food.
His whole world doesn't made sense ever since last year. It's like everything went upside down and toss to some random direction before suddenly lighting up in explosion.
A Quirkless fighting equal with a Quirked one, Vigilantes kicking Endeavor's ass, and a fucking Hidden Village of all things suddenly appearing in Mustafu out of nowhere without anyone noticing and the authority is doing nothing against it.
He grumpily chew on the katsudon on the table. Not spicy enough, he reached for the hot sauce and dumped it all in the bowl.
His school doesn't feel like school anymore. The teachers and the Principal were replaced for some reason. The rumors said that someone called Majin bought the school and replaced all the teachers because they're all stuck up ass licking extras.
In fact they saw the former principal grovelling and begging in font of the messenger.
His and everyone's none existent respect for the school and the teachers immediately went to drain.
Everyone is avoiding him.
Not unlike before, this time they don't even suck to him, they just out right avoid him and talk to behind his back. It was pissing him off.
He even recieved a death threat once.
The fucker is so dead once he figured out who it is.
Then there was this fucking rule that everyone is required to attend a fucking shrink.
He isn't crazy! Why should he talk to one?!
That unfortunately didn't end well for him.
Not just him, but the majority of the whole school were deemed unfit by the shrinks. The new management hammered down Bullying of any kind.
He wasn't praised anymore. if anything, the therapist told him that he should be attending the mandatory therapy more. Seems like his brash nature rubs them off the wrong way just as everything pissed him off with how everything has been going upside down.
He glared half heartedly at the crisped note book. Somehow, he felt like the former owner of the thing is at fault at this, no matter how far fetch that is.
In a office ridden with unfilled documents inside a Mansion somewhere in Mustafu, a certain freckled faced, heterochromatic dark green haired man with a form of a child, sneezed.
"Vii-chan, you okay?"
"Yes, it's seems that someone is talking about somewhere."
"KATSUKI! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE OR YOU'LL BE LATE TO YOUR APPOINTMENT!"
"SHUT UP HAG! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I'LL TO THE DAMN SHRINK WHENEVER I WANT!"
"THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER YOU DAMN BRAT!"
"SHADDAP!"
"JUST GET YOUR ASS HERE BEFORE I FUCKING MAKE YOU!"
"FINE! I'LL FUCKING GET MY ASS THERE! HAPPY?!"
Katsuki wrote his observations from the sports festival to the pristine notebook and tucked the crisped notebook away in his desk.
Damn nerd for getting him hooked in writing Quirks in notebooks.
Then something fell from the crisped notebook. It was a folded paper. He never had opened the damn thing unlike the others so he wouldn't know.
He picked up the note and opened it. Half expecting it to be unimportant.
After nearing the end of the letter, his eyes glossed over the message—no, Deku's last words to him.
He felt like something is constricting in his chess and made it hard to breath. His eye's went at the end of the letter.
PS Don't blame yourself, you'll be a great Hero, greater than All Might. Just know your flaws and everything will be alright.
PPS Thank you for the name, it may have a different meaning but for me, its 'Dekiru!' For do your best.
Sincerely,
Midoriya Izuku, Hero name: Deku! The one who gave his all!
Katsuki closed the letter and gently put it back from the notebook that it came from.
He picked up the empty bowl of katsudon and head straight down stairs.
Bakugō wouldn't admit it but he felt like he was just relieved from something that has been chaining him down ever since.
