GG: Here you go! lmao
seanmcsherry123: Thank you! Hope you enjoy the chapter!
We're back. Again. Im glad Yuyake's character turned out the way it did. Writing a MC I could relate to when it comes to being antisocial, sarcastic alot of the time and being terrible at math fills my soul with joy!
NOTE: I added a little something to the ending of the tutoring session with Yuyake and Momo, its not something you have to read but I wanted to let you guys know about it. When I had Yuyake think 'Damn I think Im starting to like her' I originally intended to just show that a friendship was forming between the two. After looking at that line again, I sensed some romantic implications. Yuyake and Momo will get together at some point. I wanna build up their relationship more. My apologies for that.
Since that is finally out the way, I hope you all like this chapter.
Chapter 3: Flawless Victory
Yuyake walked out to the training grounds with the rest of the class. Minus Midoriya as he was still putting on his costume.
"You all look so cool!" All Might praised the class.
"Has anybody seen Young Midoriya?" All Might asked.
"I believe he is in the changing room still!" Iida answered.
Yuyake observed his classmates in their hero costumes.
As much as he hated to admit it, Bakugo's costume was his favorite one so far. Followed up by Iida and Sero. He wasn't expecting Sero's costume to look as cool as it did.
Yuyake had no words for Mineta's costume.
Uraraka's costume made her look pretty cute.
"Honestly, if it wasn't for the your hair color or the red sun symbols on your costume, I wouldn't be able to recognize you Hinikuna." Yaoyorozu's voice was heard to his left.
"Yaoyorozu-" He stopped as he now fully turned to face her.
'Holy fucking shit!' He screamed in his head.
"..." He took in her appearance.
He could feel his brain starting to fry.
Thank the Heavens for the sunglasses and the mask. If it wasn't for those two things, his shattered facade would have been on full display.
The boy couldn't help himself from looking up and down once he saw Yaoyorozu's costume.
Her costume was the most revealing of the girls by far. Her curves were only highlighted by the outfit.
Hagakure's costume gave Yaoyorozu's a run for her money.
Hagakure was basically naked.
But then again, she is invisible. So does that really count?
'Im not complaining about the way her costume looks. I just wanna know why Yaoyorozu's costume is so revealing...'
His face now turned completely red. The sunglasses and the mask couldn't hide everything.
"Hinikuna are you alright? Your turning red." Momo asked with a concerned tone.
Adorably oblivious as to why he was reacting like this.
'Do I compliment her hero costume? I don't know what to say...She seems so unaware of it to.' He blinked.
He coughed and cleared his head.
"Yeah...Never felt better." His reply earned a smile from the female.
"That's good to hear." Yaoyorozu said.
'Best hero costume ever.' Hinikuna concluded.
Even if he didn't care much for the flashy aspects of being a hero, he had to admit, some of his classmates came up with some cool ideas.
Jiro's speakers on her boots definitely caught his attention.
Footsteps was heard as now Midoriya came out with his hero costume on.
'You gotta be joking...' Hinikuna facepalmed once he saw Izuku walk in.
The All Might inspired costume looked more like a bunny if anything.
'That costume better help him with his quirk somehow.' He thought as Uraraka went over to the boy.
"The hero course is the best!" Mineta gave a thumbs up.
'It sure is.' Yuyake couldn't disagree with that statement.
All Might just chuckled at his successor.
"So obvious!" The hero laughed.
"Listen up young ones! Today we will be doing a combat trial! You will be paired up in groups of two. A hero team and a villain team." All Might began explaining the lesson.
All of class 1-A began asking questions.
"What are the victory conditions for both teams?" Momo raised her hand.
"How much can we beat up the enemy team?" The savage Bakugo sneered.
"Doesn't my cape look dazzling?" Aoyama asked.
Yuyake just let out a groan of annoyance.
'Seriously? A group excercise? Why couldn't it be a One versus One?' Yuyake deadpanned.
Teaming up with somebody he didn't know wasn't the most thrilling idea to Hinikuna.
'With my luck I'd somehow end up with Bakugo's angry ass as a partner.' Yuyake went over the people who he would possibly be paired up with.
From what he had seen of Kirishima, he wouldn't be that bad. Hopefully.
He had no clue on how he and Todoroki would get along during this lesson.
If he had to pick a partner, the best choice for him in a team excercise would be Yaoyorozu since he did have some type of relationship with her.
Hinikuna in all honesty would rather to just go solo.
'Just want my damn hero liscense already.' He sighed.
"WAIT! I can't answer your quetions if your all asking them at once!" The hero panicked as he took out a cheat sheet?
To Hinikuna, it felt like the more time the class spent with All Might, the more disapointed he became in the "world's greatest hero."
'Never meet your heroes huh?' Yuyake thought.
"I will now explain the rules. The victory condition for the heroes will be to either capture both the villains with this capture tape or touch the bomb. The villains can also win by using the capture tape or by defending the bomb until the time limit runs out. The time limit will be 15 minutes! Both teams must try and keep damage to the facility to a minimum!" All Might explained the rules to the rookies.
"Isn't this a little advanced?" Asui questioned.
"This will help you learn the basics! Afterall, most intelligent villains hide in the shadows." All Might answered.
"Now then, are you ready, you zygotes?" All Might grinned.
All Might then began randomly picking the teams and their opponents once he lead the class to the monitor room.
Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka vs Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida
'My heart goes out to you Midoriya.' Yuyake was ready to head to Midoriya's funeral after class.
Ejiro Kirishima and Yuyake Hinikuna vs Kyoka Jiro and Hanta Sero
'Dodged a bullet. But at the same time I didn't.' Yuyake rolled his eyes.
The match with Midoriya was pretty intense.
Midoriya ended up breaking his arm. Again.
Bakugo was simply distraught by the fact that Midoriya won the match.
'Ya know...If I didn't know any better, I'd ship him with a hospital bed instead of Uraraka.' Yuyake indulged in his immaturity a little bit.
All Might asked who the MVP of the match was.
Yaoyorozu's hand shot up and she began explaining why Iida was the MVP of that match.
Hinikuna agreed with all her points.
A thought popped into his head.
'To be fair though, Midoriya didn't really have a choice but to use his quirk. He started off strong in the beginning though.'
He felt bad for Yaoyorozu since she was paired up with Mineta.
Hinikuna couldn't help but laugh slightly at her perdicament.
Yuyake made his way over to the girl as Tokoyami and Ashido waited for their match against Kaminari and Hagakure to start.
"Yaoyorozu, if you want me to set Mineta on fire, just let me know." The boy joked. Flames flickering on the tip of his index finger on his right hand.
The girl giggled in response.
"Thank you. I will be sure to take you up on that offer depending on how my match goes." Yaoyorozu glanced at the midget.
Todoroki and Shoji's match against Ojiro and Hagakure started. Todoroki had won effortlessly.
'Oh he's dedinitely one I should keep an eye on.' Hinikuna eyed Todoroki on the screen. A grin popping up on Yuyake's face.
It was clear that everyone in class 1-A was strong. The ones who had Yuyake's attention the most were Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki.
It was now time for Yuyake and Kirishima's match.
They were the villain team as Jiro and Sero were the heroes.
'This is your son Supernova? Im rather interested in the show he puts on.' All Might looked at the screen in anticipation.
Yuyake was carrying the bomb as Kirishima now started speaking. The two were making thete way to the building.
"Man aren't you hot with all that black on?" Kirishima raised an eyebrow.
"It helps with my quirk." Yuyake told the manly student.
'And black is a good looking color.' Hinikuna mused as they now entered the building.
Hinikuna also had resistance to high temperatures. So of course wearing all black on a sunny day didn't bother him in the slightest.
"Hey Kirishima, take these." Hinikuna tossed his headphones to Ejiro.
"What are these for?" Kirishima asked his partner.
"Jiro's quirk is sound based. All you gotta do is look at her. If she can use it in combat the way I think she can, then those will come in handy. Or they will at least help out a little. Watch out for the speakers on her boots. Im a better match up against Sero." Hinikuna said. The speaker's on her boots came into mind as he gave his reasoning.
"Hmm alright." Kirishima went along with the small tactic. Putting on the headphones.
"Lets put the bomb in here. It won't matter how high up this building we go. If Jiro can pinpoint our location with her quirk then it would be better to just stay down here." Yuyake pointed out.
"Ready to just fight huh? Very manly!" Kirishima complimented his partner.
"Hinikuna, what's your quirk? I never bothered asking. Heh." Kirishima scratched the back of his head with a toothy grin.
"My quirk is called Solar Flare. I can take in solar energy I get from the sun. I can shoot out solar energy, heat myself up to extreme temperatures, set fire or melt whatever I touch. And I can run faster with the energy I get from the sun." Hinikuna explained.
"So you don't wear all black just because your emo." Kirishima jabbed.
Yuya just gave the teen an unamused stare.
'Im going to sneak pieces of broken glass in this kid's lunch one of these days I swear...'
"I also just like the color. It goes well with red." Yuyake rolled his eyes.
"What about your quirk?"
"My quirk is called Hardening. I can harden any part of my body. I can become more durable and hit alot harder." The red head stated proudly.
'And he took jabs at me for wearing black. I can make a thousand sex jokes about his quirk if I really wanted to. Kirishima is a walking sexual innuendo.' Yuyake fought off the smirk he felt creeping up on his face.
"Cool quirk." Yuyake said blankly.
If Yuyake was being completely honest, he was going to say that Bakugo was the only one to know about the full extent of Kirishima's "Hardening quirk." It didn't escape him how Kirishima and Bakugo somehow developed a decent relationship.
Lord bless the red head's soul for being able to put up with that madness.
But now wasn't the time for that.
They had a match to win.
"START!"
All Might's voice rang out through their ear pieces.
Jiro pinpointed the villain team's location.
The heroes made it to the door.
"They're in there." Jiro said.
Sero nodded and prepared to breach.
The two kicked in the door.
Revealing Kirishima and Hinkuna standing infront of the weapon with their arms crossed.
"You two even try and strategize?" Sero asked, taken aback by their carefree demeanor.
"It's not like we could hide from Jiro's quirk." Hinikuna replied.
As Jiro and Sero stepped in, Kirishima and Hinikuna got ready to fight.
Hinikuna closed the gap between him and Sero quickly.
Sero shot tape out of his elbows.
The tape wrapped around Hinikuna just before the boy got too close.
In an instant the tape wrapped around him turned to ash.
'Ah shit...' Sero let out a nervous chuckle.
Suddenly the floor underneath Sero's feet became rediculously hot.
"OW!" Sero shouted in pain.
On instinct Sero jumped and shot tape towards the ceiling.
Hanta now hanging from the ceiling of the room.
Hinikuna sent solar energy shooting out of his feet, chasing after the tape boy.
Yuyake's left palm glowed orange, a hot open palm strike hit Sero's chest. Leaving the imprint of Yuyake's hand in Sero's costume.
"Damn thats hot!" Sero yelled as he fell to the floor.
Yuyake quickly took the capture tape out and wrapped it around Sero's wrists.
"Ahh man..." Sero sighed in defeat.
Hinikuna looked to his left to see Kirishima being held off by Jiro's soundwaves.
Hinikuna shot a beam of solar energy at one of Jiro's earphone jacks.
The attack landed, the girl wincing and retracting the jack from her speaker.
Kirishima saw his chance as the girl recoiled in pain. He wrapped the capture tape around her arms.
"THE VILLAIN TEAM WINS!" All Might's voice rang out.
Yuyake felt good after that flawless victory.
The four U.A students walked back to the monitor room.
Sero and Jiro were rather disappointed with their loss.
Kirishima was cheerful as ever.
"Ah yeah! We won! So manly!" Kirishima threw his hands up in the air.
When the group made it back, All Might congratulated the four students.
"Congratulations to the villain team! However, those on the hero team must not be discouraged! Train your quirks hard! Learn from your mistakes and strive to do better. Now, can anyone tell me who the MVP is?"
Yaoyorozu's hand shot up again.
"It was Hinikuna, All Might sensei." She stated blankly.
Yuyake felt his heart skip a beat.
"Eh?..." Hinikuna was at a total loss.
"Hinikuna prepared some type of strategy to protect Kirishima against Jiro's quirk. He went after Sero knowing he was better fit to combat Sero. If Kirishima had fought Sero it would've been more difficult for Kirishima. Hinikuna defeated his opponent while keeping the damage to the facility at a minimum. Kirishima played his part well. Jiro and Sero were outmatched." Yaoyorozu explained.
'She said everything again...' All Might sweat dropped
Yuyake on the other hand had steam coming from his body.
'Guess I can't take it whenever pretty women compliment me...I'll have to remember that.' Yuya sighed.
The heroics class ended with All Might speeding off to check in Midoriya.
While walking back to the locker rooms, Yuyake decided to ask Yaoyorozu about her quirk.
Now walking by her side, a lot closer to his classmates than before. Still feeling a little troubled by walking close to the rest of the class. At least now he had somebody he was comfortable with.
Hopefully now, he could get an answer as to why her costume was so revealing.
"Hey uh, Yaoyorozu, I never got to ask you, what's your quirk? I've seen you pull out weapons out of your arms and stuff. You store them in some type of pocket dimension or something?" He shot out his question.
"Oh no. My quirk is called Creation. I create the objects I use from the fat cells in my body. I need to know the chemical composition of the object in order to create it. I need to expose skin to use it, otherwise my clothes get destroyed." The rich girl revealed her quirk.
Yuyake's eyes popped out of their sockets.
"You mean to tell me you've been memorizing the chemical composition of objects since you was four?" He asked.
"Yes. Why?"
'How the fuck is she so nonchalant about that?!'
"Oh no reason. It's an impressive quirk." Yuyake regained his usual composure.
'So she needs to expose her skin otherwise her clothes would keep getting ripped. Okay that's a decent reason. I thought she was intending on using her body as a weapon to distract her enemies...With that in mind, I pray I don't fight her. Ever. I'll get distracted too easily. And she uses the fat in her body to use her quirk. I see the fat definitely went to all the right places.' He thought.
He noticed that her face was round. The fat on her cheeks made her really cute.
"And what is your quirk? Obviously something heat related am I correct?" She smirked a little bit.
His mother Supernova, never revealed what her quirk was in interviews. She opted to keep as much information about her quirk as secret as possible should a villain ever use that against her. Even though anybody who was watching could see that her quirk was heat based at the very least.
So the rich girl took the chance to get details about the quirk.
Yaoyorozu walked into a trap he didn't even mean to set up.
Oh he couldn't resist this one!
"Nah. I can control ice." Not even trying to keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
Causing the girl to pout. Her cheeks puffed out, giving him a glare.
He couldn't stop the smirk that made it's way onto his face at that. The look on her face caused him to laugh a little bit.
He ended up telling her his quirk.
Needless to say she was impressed with his quirk as well.
Of course she knew it was heat based but to think Hinikuna and his mother recieved power from the sun was a nice revealtion.
The potential of his quirk was incredible.
No wonder Supernova worked mostly during the day instead of the night.
After changing back into their uniforms Class 1-A went back to homeroom.
It was time to go home.
Hinikuna walked home. Missing out on Midoriya being swarmed by his classmates.
The Next Day
Hinikuna was just about to leave his home to head to U.A.
Before leaving he walked into Kuin'as room to find the older woman sleeping. It was her day off.
He walked up to her trying to be as quiet as possible, not trying to wake her up.
He reached out and brushed away some of her blond hair that was covering her face.
He smiled a little.
"Thank you. For everything you've done these past eleven years." He whispered.
She had literally become like family to him.
He walked out of her room, grabbed his bag and walked out the door.
To say he was pissed to find a bunch of reporters at the front entrance of U.A was an understatement.
He growled as he walked up to the entrance. Their attention now focused on him.
"Excuse me, but could you tell us how All Might is as a teacher?" One of the reporters asked.
The constant string of questions about All Might being shot his way was so annoying. It was way too early for this shit.
He grinded his teeth together.
Keeping himself from lashing out against the annoying reporters. He walked into the building, doing his best to drown out the media.
He was greatful that he managed to get away from that madness before he snapped. Walking down the hallways in a slightly bad mood. Smoke coming from his mouth.
He finally made it to his destination, Class 1-A's homeroom.
Hinikuna greeted Yaoyorozu as he sat down. Now waiting for some of the other classmates so homeroom could start.
Once everybody made it to class Aizawa began speaking about the battle trials.
"I looked over your performances during the battle trials. Good work to all of you. Midoriya, you broke your arm again. Enough with the "I can't control it excuse." It's getting old fast. Bakugo, your talented so stop acting like a child everytime you lose." Aizawa scolded the two students.
"Yes sir." Midoriya lowered his head.
"Yeah whatever." Bakugo's eyes trailed off to the side.
"Now that's out of the way, today we will be doing an activity that decides your futures." Aizawa told the 20 students.
Everyone began wondering what it could be.
"Pick a class president." Aizawa revealed the future deciding activity.
'Oh/Fuck just normal school stuff.' Class 1-A and Hinikuna thought.
The class began talking about who would be the class president and how it was too early for them to put such trust in eachother. That last bit was something that Yuyake agreed with wholeheartedly.
Eventually, Midoriya and Yaoyorozu were chosen as the class president and vice president. Yaoyorozu and Midoriya both had 3 votes.
Yuyake voted for the girl, even if he felt like it was too early to be deciding something like this. It's not like they were actually being graded on this so he couldn't really care less.
'At least I didn't get picked.' Yuyake smiled in triumph.
It was finally time for lunch.
Yuyake made his way up the stairs to the rooftop of the building.
Eating the lunch he got from the cafeteria.
He went over his decision to become a hero as he relaxed while eating the food.
Hinikuna couldn't deny that there was a 50/50 chance of this being a total success or a total failure.
Yuyake honestly felt as if he had set his life on a path that was being set up for one cruel joke. The punchline would send him retreating deeper into the shell that he didn't realize he was slowly being broken out of.
He needed to make a backup plan incase it backfired horribly.
Simply pursuing a different career would help nicely.
The door to the rooftop opened as he finished his lunch.
"I always wondered where you wonder off to during lunch." Yaoyorozu's voice rang out from behind.
"Oh Yaoyorozu. What are you doin' here?" Yuyake raised an eyebrow as he turned his head to face her.
"I have something to say and...something to ask you." She replied, shutting the door behind her.
"Okay then." He returned his gaze to the front. Gazing at the skyline.
"I just wanted to say that Torayama told me about your parents. Im sorry for intruding, it wasn't my intention." She said.
His heart sank into his stomach.
"How much did she tell you?" He asked, sweat dropping drom his head.
"Just that your parents passed away, your mother being the former Number Ten hero and that you were there when it happened. I thought I should tell you. Im sorry for your loss." She spoke softly.
He felt relieved at that.
But at the same time, Yaoyorozu knew way too much than what he was comfortable with.
Yaoyorozu now knew one of the secrets that kept him chained down for eleven years. The chains have long been burnt into his skin because of his quirk. The quirk he had gotten from his mother. It was the only thing he had left of her. It also was the reason why he was cursed. The one thing he had left to remember his mother was a source of his pain.
It wasn't a secret to him that Kuina wanted him to open up to people other than her.
It was just a matter of trusting someone enough to do it now.
"You don't need to apologize. It's been eleven years since that happened, I think Im over it by now." He lied.
He knew he wasn't over it.
"She also told me that you feel responsible for what happened. It's not your fault you know."
A smile popped up on his face as he was still gazing off at the skyline. A bitter smile. He almost laughed at that.
Not his fault?
'She wouldn't be saying that if she knew the truth.' He sighed.
"Thank you Yaoyorozu." He turned to face her and bowed.
"Would you umm...would you like to sit down with the rest of class 1-A in the cafeteria? Everyone is there. Including Todoroki and Bakugo. Even though Todoroki isn't talking all too much. And Bakugo is being surprisingly...tame, for Bakugo standards anyway." She joked towards the end.
"I appreciate the offer but no not really. I would rather stay up here. Thanks for the offer though." He replied quickly.
She expected that.
Didn't hurt to try though.
Another question popped into her head.
"You don't ever get lonely being by yourself all the time?" The question flew out her mouth.
Yuyake looked confused.
"Nope. Even if your alone, at the end of the day the one person you can count on is yourself." He answered her question.
It was better to make the concious choice to be alone, rather than be constantly hurt because he was seeking something such as companionship.
Yaoyorozu opened up her mouth to speak but was cut off by an alarm.
"Level three security breach."
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Sorry if the battle trials was short. I didn't want to give Hinikuna a challenge yet. Trust me he will be challenged during the USJ Arc and the Sports Festival! We will begin the USJ Arc next chapter! Im really excited to write that. We have some juicy stuff happening in that arc! :) Also the rating on this story might go up to M depending on how Im feeling. Til next time!
