Izuku: Hey Author?
Yeah?
Izuku: I've been thinking, should we let Sachi back in on the show?
For the last time, Sachi's character arc has long been completed, we don't need him in the story anymore.
Izuku: Author...
No Izuku! I don't care how pure and wholesome he is, he isn't coming back, period.
Izuku: Author!
For the record, he was meant to die in like chapter 6, it's a miracle he even got that much character development in the first place.
Izuku: AUTHOR!
What!?
Izuku: Look behind you.
*Sachi smashes into the building with a fist shaped bus.* I'm in!
Shit.
Two jet black helicopters approached the massive skyscraper that was Midoriya's company headquarters. Landing on the 90th floor, which was equipped with up to 6 different landing pads, the two vehicles opened as two figures came out, one tall man in his mid thirties with short white hair in a buzzcut, pointed chin and hollow black eyes, wearing a black suit, white dress shirt and red tie, with a rose in his top pocket and black gloves, a figure which just screams assassin and the other a short blond woman that looked no older than 18, with an over the top haircut with two extra long pigtails that go all the way down to the waist, star shaped rings on her fingers and was wearing a bright white dress that, along with her makeup, screamed Idol.
A row of men in suits bowed to these two individuals, as the two descended from the chopper, making their way towards the entrance. While inside, they ran into a youngster, looking no older than the girl, but was wearing a white T-shirt that had "Error 404 T-Shirt not found" written in bold fonts and stained with green and brown, reeking of soy sauce and wasabi, as well as wearing baggy green pants and socks, with his face covered with glasses, a cap with headphones and a face-mask with 404 written on it, making it impossible to deduct what gender he or she was. This, coupled with the man's slouching posture, just screamed shut-in.
"You two made it." he/she said, the voice clouded by what seemed to be a voice changer underneath his or her mask, sounding more mechanical than anything.
"Glad to see you bothered to show up for once, 404." Said the Hitman.
"Same could be said for you, Hantom." the Shut-in replied.
"I'm amazed both of you bothered to show up! I almost never see the two of you in the same place." Said the girl.
"Well, it isn't everyday when the boss calls for an emergency meeting concerning both Cadre Leader and the founding members, so I guess it was worthwhile to check out." Replied 404.
"Lies, you're just doing this because the boss will demote you if you failed to show up for another meeting!" Hissed Hantom.
"Jeez Hant! Don't be like that! What's important is that we all decided to show up!" Said the girl.
"All of us?" Laughed Hantom, "Then where, pray tell, is Froshki? Or Beros for that matter?"
"Guys guys guys, chill out." A fourth voice cut in, "Beros is already inside, and Froshki's absence is perfectly justified, now just head to the meeting room, the Boss is waiting."
As the three turned around, they came across one of their only superiors: Twice. As it turns out, the Founding members, Toga, Twice, Mr Compress and Magne all have higher authority than the Cadre Leaders, even if it's only by a tiny margin. As such, the three reluctantly shut their mouths and followed. Entering the room, Beros looked at the three of them for a bit.
"404, you look like a mess, at least put on something formal." He said sternly, before turning to the Girl, "Moki Doki, your haircut looks as ridiculous as your outfit, please promise me you'll take this meeting seriously this time." Then turned to Hantom, "I hope you washed yourself before coming here Hantom, we don't want another bloody handprint on the table.
"Look who's talking, Guard-dog." Chuckled 404.
As their boss cleared his throat, everyone in the room was silenced.
"You may have wondered why I called all of you here." Said Midoriya, "You see, a recent villain group has emerged, one powerful enough to pose a threat to us and that somehow slipped under our radar."
"Is that so?" Asked Mr Compress, "In that case, let's snuff them out then!"
"Hold your horses. We cannot underestimate this organization. if we attack them without thinking, it is highly probable that we suffer serious casualties." Midoriya cut in.
"Sir, with all due respect, you might be heavily overestimating these guys." Said Hantom, "Remember, you're the boss of me, the guy who collapsed an entire country in under 48 hours."
"And me, who not only hacked the pentagon and froze the global economy for a whole day!" Added 404, "With this amount of power, how can you expect a lowly group to be so powerful."
"Our Branch Leaders are right you know." Said Magne, "The special ops division alone has taken down over 50 criminal gangs, from petty to massive, with minimum effort and casualties, what makes this one so special?"
Midoriya let out a sigh.
"If only it were that easy." Said the boss, "However, these people have recently broken into U.A, as well as attacked people in broad daylight, a rarity nowadays if you don't count staged attacks." He explained, "Furthermore, in suspicion that this organization that we're facing may be in possession of quirk augmented Artificial humans, or Nomus, I sent Froshki out for investigation. 12 hours later, we lost contact."
"What!?" The four cadre leaders and founding members exclaimed in unison.
"You can't be serious honey!" Exclaimed Toga.
"Froshki lost?" Asked Twice.
"I'm unsure yet." Said Izuku, "I tried contacting him but he hasn't been responding."
"Even among us Cadre Leaders, Froshki was strong, possibly one of the strongest." Said 404.
"Excuse me?" Asked Hantom.
"If so, we must go retrieve him!" Said Twice.
"That's not what I came to discuss." Said Midoriya, "If these people can truly take out one of our best men, then we must take their defeat as our top priority. Hantom, assemble your forces and set up search and destroy missions. 404, track them down through the web, try to find any lead you can and pin their locations and Moki Doki, deviate the media's attention, we can't afford for this conflict to spiral out of control."
"Understood." The Cadre leaders, as they got up and departed.
Back at the stadium, several recreational activities were launched in preparation for the 1 on 1 battles event. Meanwhile, Froshki woke up in the nurse's office with a piercing pain in his stomach.
"Oh, you're up." Said the voice of an old lady.
"If my ears don't betray me, chances are it's you, recovery lady." Froshki muttered, not even bothering to look at her.
"You seem pretty knowledgeable of me." Said the old nurse.
"Please, like there exists any pro hero that's still operational at your age." Laughed the Cadre Leader, hoping off of bed, "Anyways, I'm gonna go, I'm still on patrol duty ya know?"
"Well I don't recall that many people getting injuries of this level on patrol duties." Said Recovery Girl, "Tell me, what happened."
"It's confidential ma'am, And I'm afraid that I might have to kill you if you found out." Said Froshki.
"Always on the cautious side, isn't that boy?" Asked Recovery Girl with a small laugh.
"Yeah, I guess." Muttered the cadre leader, leaving the office, heading back towards the cafeteria to check on the villains he subdued, while taking a gander at the events happening outside. However, his eyes practically popped out of their sockets the second he saw the events unfolding outside. Eri, along with the rest of the Hero Course females were seen outside in cheerleader outfits, cheering for the participants.
There even seemed to be a dude in his mid-twenties dancing among them. (Sachi: Really author!? THAT'S where you put in the story!? MB: You forced your way into the script, what did you expect?)
"Hold on!" Jiro yelled at Shigaraki, "What the hell is this!? Why is cheerleading one of the events!?"
"Well, we hosted a suggestion box for possible activities for the sports festival a year ago, and apparently a certain former student made a suggestion that got the votes of most of the guys in the school, so we included it." Explained Shigaraki.
"Damn it Mineta! Even outside this school, you're a plague to a women!" Jiro growled in anger.
As the activities wrapped up, the stage was set, as the crowd cheered in excitement. The finalists were ready and the sport festival finals have begun. The first match-ups were decided for round 1: Netsu (Class 1-A) vs Mayuko (Class 1-A) - Shenn (Class 1-A) vs Takuto (Class 1-A)- Shima (Class 1-A) vs Reiki (Class 1-A) - Kota (Class 1-A) vs Ririko (Class 1-A) - Najime (Class 1-A) vs Giovannio (Class 1-B) - Yoze(Class 1-A) vs Takane (Class 1-A) - Eri (Class 1-A) vs Shinubi (Class 1-B) - Urusaiyo (Class 1-B) vs Shindo (Class 1-C)
As the stage was set up, Eri and Kota sat next to each other, looking with anticipation at the numerous participants. Round one's first bracket had started. The participants: Netsu and Mayuko.
"Alright! Let's get this party started!" Jiro cheered with enthusiasm, "For our first bout, we have two participants with near identical quirks, so expect a heated battle! On one side is the soft spoken, docile boy with a quirk that completely contrasts his personality, Netsu HatoHato! While on the other end, her spirit is white hot like her quirk, both sides complementing each other: Mayuko Kirimiku!"
As the two contestants lined up, Eri and Kota watched from the distance.
"Both contestants ready!?"
"I sure feel bad for Mayuko." Said Kota, "Fighting the one guy in our class that's resistant against fire."
"I wouldn't bet on Netsu winning though." Said Eri, "I mean sure, quirk wise, she's at a huge disadvantage, but on the other hand..."
As soon as the start was announced, Mayuko ran in, fists ablaze, nailing Netsu across the face.
"He an absolute pushover when it comes to fighting." Eri finished.
Netsu feel over, clutching his face.
"O-Ow..."
"What? Come on! I barely nicked you!" Mayuko laughed.
"P-Please, I hate fighting..." Muttered Netsu, "I... I just wanted to help people as a hero, ya know?"
This however only resulted in him getting kicked in the guts.
"Idiot, all heroes have to fight eventually. If you think people are gonna pity you for acting like a wimp, then you have no right to be in this school." Mayuko replied.
Netsu's fist let out a red glow.
"I don't want to fight!" Netsu replied, swinging at her.
Mayuko knew that he was gonna stop his punch short, but she blocked the hit anyways, kneeing him in the stomach.
"It's always like this with you! You never changed since middle school." She said, kicking him over, "Always letting others decide for you, not having enough confidence to decide for yourself. It pitiful."
Netsu struggled to get up, as Mayuko just knocked him back down. Then, she stepped on his head, slowly grinding the back of her shoe into his scalp.
"You have 5 seconds before I squash your face into the pavement, now get up and throw a damn punch!"
However, she noticed a wet puddle forming near his head. He was crying. Letting out a sigh, she increased her force, as Netsu's face splatted onto the hard cement floor.
"You always had my back since middle school Mayuko... why? Why are you doing this!?" Netsu thought.
A few moments came back to his mind, when she always stood up for him, when others are taking advantage of his pushover nature. Then came the day when she learned that he registered for U.A. everything changed then.
A year ago...
"You signed up for U.A!?" Asked Mayuko, shocked.
"Yeah! I thought it was the right thing to do!" Said Netsu.
Hearing this, Mayuko smiled.
"Well, it's good to see you finally grew balls of your own. What gave you the confidence boost and the drive to be a hero?"
"Motives? Drives? What do you mean?" Asked Netsu.
"What do you mean what do I mean? You're registering for Japan's top hero school, surely you want to be a hero for a reason!"
"Reason? I...uh... saw that most of our class registered for U.A. so I went with the mass's decision." Explained Netsu.
"Everything changed since then..." Thought Netsu, "Even though she was always hot headed, she was kind at heart. But when I passed the exam by a hair, she started to ignore me. No one picked on me, so that's a plus, but she always gave me the cold shoulder, and now this!? What did I do wrong Mayuko?!"
"Hey that's enough!" A random spectator yelled.
"Yeah! That's just going too far! You're bullying him!" Another one yelled.
"Yeah! Piss off you bully!"
Suddenly, complaints from the crowd deafened the stadium. Netsu sat there even more shocked.
"That's right, it really does seem like she's bullying me. Why Mayuko? Huh?"
Staring at Mayuko, he noticed something off. Her lips, they were bleeding.
"She's biting into her own lips?"
Suddenly, something Mayuko said that he overheard came to him.
"I can't wait for the crowd's deafening cheers!"
"Mayuko..." He muttered, "Why are you..."
"Fight back already..." She cut in, her eyes, tearing up, "Please..."
Suddenly, it all made sense.
"Mayuko... You're doing this for me... aren't you?" He thought, "You wanted to piss me off so that I would finally retaliate." He clenched his fist, "Come to think of it, why did I even choose this course. Because everyone else did? I... I never thought of what benefit it really had for me. You knew that didn't you, Mayuko? You must be so mad, knowing that despite working your ass off to toughen me up for the entirety of middle school, I made no progress. And yet you still push yourself..."
Netsu's body started to glow red.
"No more..."
With a thundering roar, he flung Mayuko off his body, grabbing her by the collar and picking her up.
"I'll get stronger... for your sake Mayuko..."
"Woah nelly! What's with the sudden power up!?" Mayuko laughed.
"And for mine too!"
"I will win!" Netsu shouted to the top of his lungs, pushing her towards the edge of the stage.
Mayuko's eye's brightened with excitement.
"That's more like it!" She yelled back, "But don't think you've won just yet!"
Wildly spinning her head, her long, fiery hair flew at Netsu like a burning whip, leaving lacerations on the student's sides and back. Netsu flinched from the pain and collapsed.
"It's my win!" Mayuko cheered.
However, Netsu dashed forward again.
"Is that all you've got!?"
This time, his fist was radiating intense heat, so much so that both his and Mayuko's uniform was burning off. Pulling his fist back, he threw a devastating punch to Mayuko, knocking her off her feet. However, she swung her hair at the boy, wrapping it around his wrist and pulling him towards her, hitting him midway with a lariat to the throat, hitting him so far that he did a full backflip before landing on the floor face first.
But even that couldn't keep him down, as he shoot back up, hitting her in the stomach.
"I'm not done yet!"
"That's it Netsu! Give me your 100%!" Mayuko yelled back.
"PLUS ULTRA!" The two yelled in unison, their voices standing out even among an out of control crowd, cheering the two students on as they were indeed caught up in the sheer fieriness of this battle. Their fists passed each other, both meeting their target, that being the opposing fighter's face. Mayuko's flaming hair died out and Netsu's body temperature returned to normal.
"You did well Netsu..." Mayuko smiled, slowly falling towards her back.
Netsu, on the other hand smiled.
"Thanks."
Just then, Netsu feel down as well, the back of his head just barely touching outside of the line, while Mayuko on the other hand caught herself midfall.
"But I still win!" Mayuko suddenly shouted to the top of her lungs.
The stadium cheered, completely forgetting about her bully-like behavior earlier. As the medical bots came in to pick up the two however, Netsu turned to Mayuko.
"Hey Mayuko?" Asked Netsu.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for helping me overcome my docile nature, I couldn't have done it without you."
"Hey, all in a day's work." Mayuko laughed it off.
"Oh, one more thing." Netsu said, lending her his hand, "Let's fight again someday."
Hearing this, Mayuko smiled back, shaking his hand.
"Sure."
As the two parted ways, the crowd cheered, stoked for the second bout.
"What a way to kick off the final event!" Exclaimed Jiro.
The two next contestants, Shenn and Takuto, stepped on stage.
"We just got an amazing opening fight from Mayuko and Netsu! Let's hope we can keep this hype train rolling with the second bout! Class 1-A representative: The hawk headed student that flew past his competition, Takuto! And facing him is the boy with the touch of death: Shenn!" Jiro exclaimed.
"It's more of a human taser than anything." Shenn muttered.
"We have a lot of expectations to meet with that previous fight, let's hope you and I can provide." said Takuto
"Likewise." Replied Shenn.
" BEGIN!"
As soon as the start was announced, Shenn came charging at Takuto, hoping to stun him with his quirk. However, Takuto retaliated by flying into the air, where a close ranged fighter like him can't reach and sending two pairs of wings flying at him. Shenn flipped back, dodging the wings the best he could, but one of them found it's mark, latching itself onto Shenn's ankle and flying him off the stage.
"Over that quick?" Shenn muttered, dejected as the fight concluded.
"Let's be honest, we both saw this coming, didn't we?" Asked Eri, as Kota nodded, "Thought so."
"Poor Shenn, out of all the contestants he could have fought, he ended up with the one guy his quirk matched poorly against."
The two got up, shaking hands and congratulating each other, as the third bout followed. That one lasted even shorter than the previous one. Reiki was ruthless, and Shima never stood a chance. Before she could even fire her signature beam, she was already knocked out, pinned to ground by Reiki's binging balls. The spectating pro heroes took interest in Reiki. Both in his quirk and his attitude, almost reminding them of the Number One hero's youth.
Finally, as fourth round was setting up, Kota was getting ready for his fight.
"Do your best Kokota!" Eri cheered from the sidelines.
Kota gave back a flattered smile, but knew he had to concentrate. After all, Ririko was not the easiest of opponents. As the two faced each other amidst the cheers of the crowd and Jiro's commentary, they gave each other a nod.
"Let's hope this fight lasts longer than the last two." Said Ririko.
"Trust me, it won't." Kota replied, trying to sound witty, only to spew out a full blown threat, "Wait no! I mean..."
But it was too late, he had already provoked her. Ririko may not be the kind of gal to be fazed by physical abuse, but when it comes to words, her trigger is as frail as a dry straw. Having her witty remark be responded with a threat was more than enough to get her riled up.
"You're dead!"
That was all that Kota heard amidst the loud start announcement made by Jiro. With blinding speed, she dashed in, her metallic claws at the ready. Seeing this, Kota blasted two water stream below him, rocketing him up in the air.
"Close quarters is her specialty, I can't let her close the gap." Thought Kota, charging up a second, more powerful blast.
"You're not getting away that easy!" Ririko yelled, digging her claws into the stadium and carving out a basket ball sized rock, lobbing it at him.
Not expecting a projectile attack, Kota shot his load early, his water jet pulverizing the upcoming projectile. But at that moment, Ririko closed the distance, swinging at him from up close. Raising his right hand, a geyser shot out from beneath Kota, launching him several feet into the air, as Ririko's claws only met water, wetting her uniform.
"And now from above!" Kota exclaimed, as water enveloped Ririko.
Aqua Shell!
The water around her trapped her in a bubble, as she flailed around, trying to hold her breath.
"I got you now!" Kota exclaimed, charging up a less lethal water blast "Now to knock you offstage."
However, with blinding speed, the water bubble was sliced up, a few slashes grazing Kota's forearm, as Ririko escaped.
"Whew! For a moment I thought I was a goner!" She sighed, "Nice moves!"
Seeing how she calmed down from earlier, Kota eased up a little, as he winced in pain to the slash marks on his forearm. Ririko saw this opportunity and lunged in, now right up close to Kota, as the fight slowly shifted to her favor.
"Damn it, I can't shake her off." Kota thought, frantically trying to back off as his uniform was being shredded apart by Ririko's claws.
Trying to propel himself with his geyser again, Kota was sent tumbling back down, as his opponent jumped up the very moment when he became airborne, slamming him back down to the ground.
"I ain't falling for the same ol' trick!" Ririko exclaimed, lunging downwards at Kota.
However, as she approached Kota, water once again emerged from beneath, trapping both of them in a bubble this time.
"You think this will stop me Kota? I've sliced through it once, I can do it again!" Said Ririko, her claws at the ready.
"You think I'm stupid enough to try the same thing twice?" Kota replied, "You must think I'm insane!"
Suddenly, the water within the bubble started to pick up speed, as the two students were thrashed around by the water's vortex like stream. It was as if the two were trapped in a whirlpool. Unable to even lift a finger, Ririko felt her consciousness fading, as She tried to claw her way out of Kota's localized Whirlpool. Kota, on the other hand, lied low and focused, as he traveled along the streams of his own water, shooting him out of his whirlpool. Eventually, he let Ririko out, as she was left soaked and unconscious.
"What a spectacular fight! Kota takes the win!" Jiro announced.
As Kota returned to the waiting room, he was met with Eri, congratulating him for his victory. However, as she rambled on about how much she was looking forward to face him in the later bouts, Kota took notice of Najime, still glaring at Eri. Shooting the two a murderous glare, Najime left for his match.
"Eri?"
"Yeah?"
"If Najime gets to the semi finals, which judging by his quirk is very lightly, watch out, okay?" Warned Kota.
"I'll be fine Kokota! It's just hate based off beliefs, he doesn't have any REAL reason to hate me!" Eri laughed.
"It's not about real or fake reasons, it's about conviction. I saw those eyes of Najime before and you what they reminded me of? Stain! Like, the hero killer, stain! He is dead-set in beating, possibly killing you! I don't even think he cares about the rules. SO whatever you do, be careful!" Kota said.
Eri saw how serious Kota looked, and nodded back.
"Fine, I promise." She replied.
Just then, the door swung open, as Najime came back.
"You're done already?" Asked Yoze, who was also in the waiting room.
"Yeah, I felt like ending the fight as soon as possible. You're up next, Yoze." Najime replied.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Yoze exclaimed, jumping out of his seat.
"You seem awfully confident in your victory." Said Kota.
"No duh! I'm against Takane of all people!" Replied Yoze, "I mean, she is a recommended student, but she's still quirkless! How hard can it be?"
Literally 2 minutes later...
"I stand corrected." Yoze muttered, pinned in an arm-lock, face first on the floor as Takane pinned him in no time.
"Wow, that was quick!" Jiro commented, "Uh... I mean, congratulations the two of you! Takane moves on to the next round!"
Next up was Eri. However, rather than excited, she was rather confused at the outfit her opponent was wearing. It was less a U.A. Uniform and more a Konoichi cosplay, With webbed stockings on the legs and arms and a feudal Japan style mini kimono and metal fans, while wearing a face mask.
"Uh... hello?"
The girl waved back.
"Our first round's almost over! Up next is Eri from the hero course against Shinubi Kinoiichi, also from the hero course!"
"Well then... good luck?" Eri waved awkwardly.
All Shinubi did was bow back, very ninja-like. She turned to the class B students, but they just gave her a "Get used to it" look.
"Begin!"
Suddenly, the ninja appeared behind Eri, as she barely dropped a karate chop from her. flipping out of the way, she turned around sharply, delivering her assailant a spinning back kick. However, a cracking noise was heard, as a wooden log appeared in a puff of smoke in the place where Shinubi used to be. Just as Eri realized this, she was struck from behind falling down face first.
"Damn, where is she?" Eri asked.
"Above you Eri!" Exclaimed Kota.
Looking above, she barely dodged Shinubi, as she descended from above, slamming her palm down on the ground, leaving a small crater.
"You're wide open now!" Eri exclaimed.
However, Shinubi's upside down body suddenly spun rapidly in place, kicking her across the face.
"She's skilled!" Thought Eri, "and none of those moves so far seemed to be the work of a quirk, could it be that she's quirkless?"
However, as Eri was processing what was happening, Shinubi dashed in right in front of her, striking her with her open palm. She felt like a grenade just exploded in her chest, as she was sent flying across the stage, just barely staying in.
"This girl, she's strong!" Thought Eri, "Not only is she pushing into a corner, but she has yet to reveal her quirk!"
In the blink of an eye, Shinubi was already in front of her. The two clashed in a full on melee, as Eri was barely keeping up with her speed. Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain at her feet. Caltrops, the ninja girl scattered a handful of caltrops for her to step in. She used her rewind quirk, healing herself from the pain, but left herself open for long enough for Shinubi to sweep her leg.
"This isn't good, if she keeps pushing me like this, then I... I..."
Shinubi was closing in, as Kota and a few of her friends, including Satsuki and Netsu covered their eyes, not wanting to see their friend lose. Suddenly, a cold shiver ran down their spine. Their hands were shaking, as it felt like the sky itself had darkened. Shinubi herself was completely paralyzed, dropping to the ground, trembling.
"I won't be able to restrain myself anymore..."
Flashback...
"Aura?" Asked Eri, "Like those lasers people fire in Dragon Orb Plus Ultra?"
"No no no, all wrong! Why does everyone I teach these techniques to think that?" Replied Stain.
"Only Spinner thinks that though." Replied Eri.
"Exactly, everyone I teach."
"So then, what is this aura whatchamacallit?" Asked Eri.
Stain stood up, as he stabbed himself in his own arm, Shocking Eri.
"Aura, also known as Ki, is a physical manifestation of vitality that lies dormant within all living beings, some animals even make use of this energy to their own benefits. However, it's properties are also affected by one's nature. Once you manage of harness this energy, you can command it and have it bend to your very will." Explained Stain, removing the knife from his forearm, revealing a cut that wasn't bleeding, despite the veins being severed.
"Wow! That's amazing! So all I need to do is train this Ki thing and one day I too can pull stuff like this?" Asked Eri.
"Ki isn't like quirks Eri, it's a completely different thing. You actually see this kind of healing based Ki used in places like Korea or China, heck, I've lead my crusade to China about two weeks ago and every hero and their mother there knew how to pull a trick or two with their Ki, some even more than me." Replied Stain.
"Then, how do I use it?" Asked Eri.
"Simple, first, empty your mind, like, completely, don't even try to imagine a black screen, rather, try to just let your mind wander off, lose yourself in your own thoughts, and try to blend in." Explained Stain.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! I know this one!" a Thirds voice cut in, "I've done this before! Once you let your mind wander, instead of hoping back on your train of thoughts, you whisper a command into this void of jumbled up consciousness and wait for results! I do this all the time to conceal my presence!"
The two turned around to see Toga, dropping in on their training.
"Well, would you look at that! Another one here who knows the secret behind my techniques!" Stain smirked, "Anyways kid, don't worry about it, if lizard boy can get the hang of it, then so can you!"
End of Flashback...
"For whatever reason, death aura, where your Ki physically manifests into your vision of death is the only technique I've gotten the hang of." Thought Eri, "Maybe spending my entire childhood with villains and witnessing death on a near daily basis has something to do with it? Eh, who cares?"
At the entrance way to the stadium, Najime let out a smirk.
"So you've final shown your true colors, villain girl."
As Shinubi trying to get back on two feet, Eri took a step towards her, her eyes leaking out animosity as her glare shot knives directly into her soul.
"I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to activate that!" Eri apologized rapidly, as her killer aura faded and she returned to her normal self.
Shinubi tried to say something, but just then, she covered her mouth. But Eri had already heard her.
"Sorry what was that?" Asked Eri.
"It...fine..." She muttered extremely softly.
"Excuse me?" She asked again.
"I said it's fine!" She shouted, fuming as she face was bright pink in embarrassment.
However, everyone else had a different reaction to her voice.
"Her voice is so cute!"
Eri thought that too, as she immediately lunged into her, squeezing her like a stuffed bear.
"It's like if a puppy was an idol singer!" Eri squealed, "So Kawaiii! UWU!"
Shinubi on the other hand collapsed in shame, no longer having any will left to fight.
Kota, confused, turned to her class mates.
"She's extremely insecure about her voice, so she chooses not to talk most of the time." Explained Giovannio, the guy that Najime beat.
"Really, I mean, I find her voice pretty cute, but it isn't anything I'd go crazy over." Explained Kota.
"Well just wait until you see her talking while her quirk is active." Giovannio chuckled.
"Huh? What do you mean, what is her quirk?" Asked Kota.
Just then, some dust flew by the two contestants. Shinubi couldn't help but sneeze.
"Ah... Ah... Ah-kyu!" She sneezed, as nine orange, fluffy, black tipped tails sprouted out of her behind.
Shinubi Kinoiichi's quirk: Kyuubi - Description: You think Ojiro has it hard with a massive oversized tail? try having NINE massive, oversized tails.
Eri was the first to react, as the sneeze, combined with the tails and her blushing face beneath her face mask was enough to make her pass out from cuteness, however, seeing this, Shinubi herself collapsed in shame, as she heard the clicks of a million cameras, all aiming at her.
"I-I give up." She muttered, heading towards the exit, "I'm gonna go hang myself now."
As woke up moments later, she saw a faint red and blue color greet her awakening. It was Shindo.
"Oh, hi Shindo." Said Eri.
"Oh, you're awake?" Shindo asked, dropping her, "Guess you didn't need the nurse after all."
"Ow! What was that for?" Asked Eri.
"I was obligated by teachers to escort you to the nurse's office, but since you woke up midway, I guess I don't need to do that anymore." Shindo explained, looking back, "I guess I should get going, It's my match now."
However, as Shindo was heading towards the stadium Eri reached out to him.
"Wait!" She exclaimed, "Be careful."
Shindo glared back.
"Why, because I'm only a general ed student?" Asked Shindo.
"No! Of course not! It's just, you know, you're exactly exactly everyone's favorite here in this school." She said.
"Oh news of the century! A kid who cheated in his entrance exam and still got admitted into the hero course isn't admired by his classmates, who could have seen this coming?" Shindo replied with sarcasm.
"It's not just that!" Eri said, "I mean, yeah, everyone dislikes you because you cheated and all, but I saw you during the previous events! Despite being at an disadvantage, being quirkless and all, you were trying your best! I know you want to try your best at heart, so don't let their words discourage-"
"Hahaha! You think I'm quirkless?!" Shindo cut her, laughing, "Man, you're in for a ride!"
"Wait, you're not quirkless?" Asked Eri.
"Oh no, far from it!" Shindo kept on laughing, "You'll see."
As he entered the stadium, he hearing booing coming from both the hero course students, and his own classmates, yelling insults like "Get lost cheater!" and "Go to hell you fraud!" as a few even threw half empty bottles of soda at him.
"You'll all see." Shindo smirked.
As he approached the stage, he was met with his opponent, Urusaiyo from Class 1-B.
"So, you're the one I've heard about, the cheater who got away with Scot free." Laughed the student, giving him a thumbs down, "You know, U.A. as merciful as the staff here is, U.A. doesn't take kindly to fakers. I don't know what the staffs saw in you that they let you stay, but I'll show you, on behalf of this school, where you really belong."
The thundering screams and cries for blood overshadowed Jiro announcements, along with her orders to keep it down and retain good sportsmanship. Eri looked at this scene with a knot in her stomach, as even her own classmates wanted nothing but this kid's execution.
"Kick his ass Urusaiyo!" His classmates called out.
"You got any last words, trash?" Urusaiyo smirked.
"You guys are so noisy, were you seagulls in your past lives?" Shindo smirked.
Despite his saying those retorts much softer than Jiro's talking, everyone heard it, and returned fire tenfold.
"Well what does that make you then huh!?" They yelled back, "A rat! A mole! A gnat! A piece of dog shit!"
Urusaiyo's hands emitted some form of blue energy.
"You sure talk big, what about your bite?" Urusaiyo laughed, "It's about time we ended this execution"
"Begin!" was all the crowd heard as Urusaiyo's glow was getting stronger, sizzling with energy.
"Grind him into the dirt!" The crowd yelled, as Urusaiyo dashed in.
"Feel the power passed down for 12 generations! Super Dynamo Dynamite Exploding Flame Megaton Bomber Mountain Slicing Meteor Blade of The 101 Gods and Devils of the Seventh Sky and Ninth Circle of Hellbent Domination Plus Ultra Hexagon Compound Singularity Black Hole Stalactite Spiker With Extra Omega Alpha Beta Three From 5 Hearts Serious Death Pun-"
Before Urusaiyo could finish naming his excessively long attack, Shindo shot at him a murderous glare.
Heaven's Blade!
All of a sudden, the sky itself darkened, and the cloud split open, sending down a gigantic blade of light nearly half a mile in height, stabbing into the center square and splitting the entire stadium in half, the ground itself split open, leavig fissures across the entire arena. the blade stopped only an inch short from Urusaiyo, as the sheer shock made him pass out, foaming at the mouth.
The entire stadium was silenced, seeing the sheer amount of power on display. Just then, with a wave of his hand, Shindo made the sword vanish into thin air. The crowd was silenced, as the students who were spewing death threats just moments ago were jaws agape, rendered speechless Shindo's attack.
"He didn't he lift a finger..." Uttered one of the students.
"What... What the heck was that!?" Another exclaimed.
"Retribution." Shindo replied with a smug look on his face. Just then, he raised his left hand, performing a spinning motion.
Time Reverse!
Suddenly, all the damage that had been done reverted back to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Are you kidding me!?" some one students muttered, as the visitors were talking among each other too, asking each other questions. Why is he only in Gen Ed? Why didn't he use that power in the earlier events? If he had this kind of power, why cheat? Was he cheating just then? Shindo, on the other hand spoke up.
"You're all still free to verbally attack me all you want." Shindo replied, "Meanwhile, I'll just be standing here, unhurt by your words, knowing that none of you have the balls to come down and face me."
"Oh is that so!?" A random student yelled, running down and charging at him, "Do you really think we;d fall for that bluff!? With an attack like that, you must be worn out! Let's what you can conjure up next!"
Just then, Shindo raised his right hand.
Volcanic Tsunami!
A massive tidal wave of magma rose from the ground, heading straight for the student. Practically peeing himself, the student immediately ran back, only for the magma to vanish seconds before impact.
"Of course, I wouldn't sink so low that I would kill anyone, so feel free to try again!" Shindo smiled condescendingly, as he left and headed for the restrooms.
As he left, Kota turned to Eri.
"Eri! Did you see that!?" Kota exclaimed.
"Uh huh." Eri muttered nonchalantly.
"What do you mean uh huh!? That kid can summon mountain sized swords, rewind time, create tidal waves of lava and all you can muster up is an Uh Huh!?"
Eri, on the other hand, looked at Shindo.
"Shindo... I think I'm slowly starting to understand your situation..." Thought Eri.
"Hello! Earth to Eri, are you there?" Kota asked, knocking on Eri's forehead like a door.
"Oh wah? Sorry, I was too caught up in my thought, you were saying?" Asked Eri.
"What I'm saying is that we should devise a plan to defeat that bullshit quirk of his, whatever it is."
"Oh his quirk? I figured it out in like 10 seconds." She said nonchalantly, "Anyways, gotta go!"
"What?! What do you mean you figured it out!? Hey! At least share the details! Eri!"
To Be Continued...
AN: Sorry for late updates, exams are killing me.
