Hi, guys. Here's the next chapter of my story. Have fun reading and tell me what you think. ^^
To the one person who said that Vivi as Olivias nickname makes no sense, there's actually an origin story behind it, but it will take a long time until it's revealed. For short and to not reveal to much Bubble gave her the nickname when they first met. And I think Vivi is an okay nickname for Olivia because of the 'vi' in the name. I like the name with this nickname a lot. I hope this answer sets you a little at ease with the nickname I choose for her. ^^
Chapter 2. The Entrance Exam
"There's nothing happy about having your fate decided for you! You have to grab your own happiness!" – Lucy Heartfilia
Vivi regrets her decision the very next day. Since they don't take her Jewel here, but have a completely different currency, she has not the slightest amount of money. Because of that she couldn't afford a place to stay. Luckily, Nezu was kind enough to give her a room in the school, which was meant for a teacher, who backed out of the job last month. But that wasn't what made her regret the decision. No, the room is actually rather cosy, with a small open kitchen inside of the living room, a small bedroom and a bathroom.
What made her regret the decision was that she totally forgot about the school part Aizawa spoke about. That's why, before her on the table of her living room lie around ten books about different topics… and don't let her get started on the twenty other books, put aside on a bookshelf in the room. She looks at Aizawa with a puppy dog face, who stands across from her. "Please don't." she whines.
The man is completely unfaced by her look. "You want to join the school year in a few months so you have to learn as much as you can. You still have to pass the written exam besides the practical one. Since you told me you didn't go to school of any kind and aren't from this world you don't know any of the things you need for that."
A whimper escapes her, "But can't I just skip it?" she asks with big, pleading eyes.
"No." he answers with a monotone voice. "I brought all the books you need to get the basics down so that you can pass. Read them and learn it. You won't get a special treatment just because you are from a different world."
She can't believe that she actually thought Aizawa was a nice guy. This man is the devil. The Dragon Slayer would take one of Erzas training courses from hell over this any day ... All right, maybe she wouldn't, but this here is still hell. With a sigh she accepts the fact that Aizawa won't give in and pulls the gale-force reading glasses she once got from Levy out of her pouch. She puts them on and opens the first book.
"You need glasses?" asks Aizawa curious. Since Vivi explained her magic to them the day before in detail, he thought she would have an excellent sight. With her having the senses of a dragon and all that. Their reaction to her explaining how she got magic to slay dragons was utterly hilarious. It just got better when she told them that her father teached it to her … who was an actual storm dragon. They really didn't get why a dragon would teach someone magic to slay dragons.
A good thing was that they came up with a Quirk for her, or more they decided to make it two Quirks. One of her Quirks gives her, her enhanced senses and physique, which they found out she had after she fought against Aizawa in a sparring match to demonstrate her magic. The mage fought against him like she would fight against her guildmates. The Pro Hero is a really good fighter and could probably really have given her a run for her money if they fought for real. She just surprised him with the strength of her kick. Turns out the people of this world aren't as durable as the ones in her world and not nearly as physically strong.
So, that's how Aizawa got out of their fight with three broken ribs after about two minutes, when Vivi kicked him in his side with full force. The Dragon Slayer apologized for five minutes straight after that, until he told her that it was all right and he would be okay. Which may have been what Aizawa said, but Vivi is pretty sure this written exam is his punishment for her. A shiver runs down her spine at the word. At least it's not a Fairy Tail punishment.
Her other Quirk is the one who lets her produce and manipulate her storm clouds. Vivi is still thinking about names for her Quirks. She was a little sad that she won't be able to use any other kind of magic after they explained to her that it just wouldn't be possible in their world to have more Quirks than those two. I mean, it's not like she can do many other magics, but she has to say goodbye to the little amount of lightning magic she learned from Laxus, her transformation magic and probably to her dual Dragon Slayer mode as well… But she still accepted it in the end.
Vivi looks at him at the question. "Oh no, these are magic glasses. With them I'm able to read at an extreme speed. The one I have is actually of the highest quality. It was the present of a friend. I can read 64 times faster with them."
"That's useful." Acknowledges Aizawa. "Then I'll leave you to it. Don't destroy anything." He adds, remembering how she destroyed two walls of the school when she demonstrated her magic. Since then, totally believing what she said about her guild being destructive.
She grimaces and looks at him in apology, "I'll pay it back when I got some money." Vivi is really glad she only destroyed two walls. It could have been worse… far worse.
"Don't bother with it." He says, voice tired, before he steps out of the room and leaves her alone.
The Dragon Slayer takes it back. He's still a nice guy. He's just strict and always looks like he's totally done with the world. She grins while her eyes travel back to the first book. She sights, her grin vanishes. "Let the torture begin."
Three months actually pass by pretty fast. The Dragon Slayer has learned a lot about the world called Earth… and a lot of stuff which made her head steam and question why she even bothers with this. For what even does she need science or even worse arithmetic? Do Pro Heroes really need to know all this stuff? Does Aizawa know all this stuff? Why does she even care. He won't tell her that anyway. The man really took a liking to make her go through hell. After she finished the first thirty books, he came with the next twenty, and then the next. She wishes she never told him about her glasses…
But she's still thankful for the man. He seems to really care for her wellbeing and always checks on how she's doing or if she really needs a break. When she gets her break, she always tells him about her home and Fairy Tail, which makes the ache in her heart slightly better. She's also sure he knows that and makes himself free time, so he could listen to her because of it. Yeah, she really has taken a liking to the stern, impatient, tired man.
The scarecrow man also checked on Olivia from time to time. Per accident she also found out that he is actually the number one hero All Might. It was pretty funny, to be honest. The Dragon Slayer strolled through the hallways of the school one day on her way to her job. She didn't want to rely on Nezu all the time to get things she needs or be in debt any more than she needs to be. She will pay them back for all they have done for her, that's for sure. It's why she started working at a little café not far away from the school. Her experience from working at Yajimas 8-Island restaurant helped her a lot with that.
But, back to where she was. So, Vivi walked through the hallway and as she walked around a corner, she stumbled right into the muscular form of the number one hero. She fell back on her ass and looked up at his face. Right away noticing the giant, blinding smile, which only Natsu could perform in her world. The Dragon Slayer blinked only once before his scent hits her nose and she stared at him in disbelief. She never forgets the scent of a person. Before she could question him, he suddenly transformed back into his scarecrow form and vomited blood in a comedically way, answering her question before she brings it up. All Might just stared at her in shock, blood pouring out of his mouth. "What the fuck?" escaped it Vivi before she could stop herself.
Yeah, that was how she found out his secret and he told her about his injury. At the end she felt more useless than ever before. She just couldn't do anything for the man, who helped her almost as much as Aizawa. She really wished she were a Sky Dragon Slayer in that moment and could heal him or something.
He seems to have noticed her thoughts because he put an encouraging hand on her shoulder. After he transformed into his muscular self, he smiled at her. "It is all right, Olivia." Strange enough his words drove away her depressing thoughts almost instantly. Vivi smiled back at him. From then on out she began to really respect and like the man before her.
When the time for the exams finally comes around, she practically rocks the written exam and curses Aizawa in the same breath. Most of the stuff she read weren't even part of the damn exam. That's why she is sure, it clearly was a punishment and he just wanted to mess with her. She lets a deep breath out of her nose to calm herself down. The man helped her a lot, after all. She can overlook this whole 'learning-stuff-she-doesn't-need' thing. Vivi can punch him for it some other time.
With the written exam behind her Vivi now stands before a giant double door to get the practical part of the exam over with. The door seems to lead into a city. Vivi is in awe like all the other teenagers, who are also here to get into the hero course like she wants, about the fact, that this school has something like this.
Vivi doesn't wear the usual clothes she wears in her world, but some new ones she bought herself a while ago. Her new outfit contains of a green, loose T-Shirt with black cargo capri-pants. A simple brown leather belt keeps her pants in place, not the one with the dragon's head. A white-green beret rests upon her head and she keeps her hair in a low ponytail. The last part of her outfit is a pair of white-green sneakers. These clothes are totally comfy and Vivi loves them. She bought them because her normal clothes are going to be her hero costume. Of course, she still wears her cuff bracelets as well, since she would never take them off.
The city behind the door is the battle ground for the practical exam. They have to destroy robots to get points. And since the whole exam consists of destroying things it's really like it's made for her. She grins and brings her fists together. Excitement is rushing through her now that she finally can fight and use her magic again. I'm all fired up!
In the exact moment the door opens Vivi rushes inside the city, hearing the confused shouts from the others behind her and then the voice from Present Mic, "What are you others waiting for? There are no countdowns in real fights! Run, run!"
With an excited grin on her face Vivi jumps into the air. Storm Dragons Flashing Fist! She learned that the people here usually don't call out their attacks like back home, so she decided to think them instead of shouting them out. A storm cloud filled with crackling lightning forms around her right fist and she punches the first robot she comes across with full force. It shatters the moment her fists connects with it.
While most of the others struggle with it, Olivia just rushes through the city and destroys all the robots she meets on her way with ease and a big grin on her face. Since getting here she not once felt this good and carefree. Finally, she can use her magic like she wants too and totally destroy stuff! And there is no stopping her.
…
Or so she thought.
After another 3-point-robot got destroyed by her Storm Dragons Lightning Talon she lands on top of the next one. What she did not think about is, that these robots totally move and aren't living beings. Therefore, it counts as a vehicle and as soon as the robot under here moves the Dragon Slayer is done for.
She clasps her hands over her mouth immediately, to prevent her from vomiting, while her face turns an awful shade of green. With sounds of suffering escaping her mouth she fells down. Vivi lies on top of the still moving robot, who seems to ignore her presence on his back completely, desperately trying not to vomit.
Vivi doesn't know how long it takes exactly, but after a while the robot under her is blasted into pieces by an explosion and she flies into a wall. While she finally can regain her senses and the colour of her face turns back to normal, she looks at her saviour. A blond, angry looking boy looks at her in confusion.
Olivia stands back up from the ground and smiles at the boy in thanks. "I owe you one!" she shouts while running the opposite way to destroy some more of these constructions from hell with her magic.
When she destroys two robots at once with a Storm Dragons Ice Roar strange noises fill her ears. Vivi looks at the source of the noise in confusion, noticing a giant robot that is bigger than the buildings of this city. No way! Is that the zero-pointer? That thing is really big! She stares in awe at the giant robot. Her eyes shine brightly.
A lot of the other teenagers are already running away from the thing in fear. Why the hell are they running? I thought they wanted to be heroes? I still don't understand the concept of heroes completely, but I don't think they would run away from something that could mean harm to others. I mean, I know that I, as a Fairy Tail mage, wouldn't. While she is thinking to herself her eyes catch onto something.
Three two point robots have a boy surrounded who's face shows that he doesn't know how to get out of the situation. He looks annoyed and besides the situation still seems collected too, but mostly is he looking around himself to maybe find a way out. To make matters worse the zero pointer has noticed the boy and aims his fists at him.
Without thinking much about it Vivi lets storm clouds surround her feet and pushes herself off the ground, with the supporting power of her storm so she could jump high into the sky. "With a lightning storm in the right hand!" she begins, lightning storm clouds surround her right arm in a swirl, "And an ice storm in the left hand!" Around her left hand begin to swirl ice storm clouds. "When you combine them to get a powerful storm." She brings her arms together to fuse both storm clouds. "Dragon Slayers Secret Art: Storm Dragons Tornado Blast!" Her lightning and ice storm clouds combine into a powerful tornado of both storm types. It flies at the zero pointer, tearing a giant hole right through it … and a whole lot of buildings behind it.
With a grin on her face, and only the magic from inside her second origin container left, she lands swiftly back on the ground, storm clouds surround her feet to slow down her landing. Her eyes travel to the indigo haired boy, who looks at her in awe and with another look in his eyes Vivi can't define. And with the bags under his eyes, he really looks like he doesn't get much sleep.
"Times up!"
The alarm that rings through the city causes Vivi to cover her ears. "Damn it! Why does this have to be so loud." She grumbles. "Wait a second! How many points did I even make?! Oh no, I spent most of time of the exam being motion sick. And this thing didn't give me any points." She begins to count with her fingers in panic, while mumbling to herself. "They won't ever let me live it down if I don't pass the practical exam!" she cries out, thinking of Aizawa.
"Calm down. Are you an idiot?" questions the indigo-haired boy with a monotone voice.
Vivi blinks and looks at the boy in annoyance. "Don't call me an idiot. I saved you just now. If I'm an idiot what makes that you?"
"Tch, if I had a Quirk like you, I would have done that by myself. Sadly, I don't have that privilege and therefore won't get into the hero course anyway."
She raises an eyebrow at the sour tone of his voice. "Why? What's your Quirk?"
"It's brainwashing." He answers simply. Preparing to hear how it is a villainous Quirk.
Olivia's eyes turn round. "That sounds awesome! Can you brainwash anyone?"
He blinks in wonder at her excitement. "You think my Quirk is awesome? Don't you think it's more of a villains Quirk than that of a hero?"
Vivi looks totally confused at his words. "Why would I think that? It's not the Quirk you have that defines if its villainous or heroic. It's how you use it, that defines it. And brainwashing sound hella useful, if you ask me. And I have a friend whose Quirk is to literally turn into a demon, soo~ I can't really judge someone based on what their Quirk is." She sends him a wide grin, showing of her sharp canines.
"… You're strange." He admits after a pause.
The Dragon Slayer makes a pounding face at him, "I'm completely normal." She argues and since her standards are Fairy Tail normal, she actually is normal in her own head. "Another thing." She begins and squints her eyes at him. "Why did you say that you won't get into the hero course anyway because of your Quirk?"
He raises an eyebrow at her. "You have to ask that? The practical exam is fighting robots. That's not really something I can do with my Quirk."
"I still don't understand the problem. If you don't have a Quirk that has fighting power, you just have to train to make up for it with physical power. Isn't Eraser Head a hero whose Quirk doesn't gives him any kind of fighting ability? He still managed to be a Pro Hero, because he trained in hand-to-hand-combat, so that he can fight." Vivi didn't understand that from the beginning of being in this world. From what Aizawa said most Pro Heroes just train their Quirk and not much their bodies or mind. To use magic, you have to train all of these or the magic in your body will rip you apart instead of coming out as spells. Every mage knows that from the start.
The boy before her looks at her, deep in thought, "No one ever told me that… I'm Shinso Hitoshi."
"I'm Oliv-" She stops herself before remembering people here start with their last name. "I mean Moon Olivia."
"Moon, huh. Thanks for saving me."
She blinks at him, her last name coming from someone who normally talks to her just sounds wrong, "Call me Olivia or Vivi, please. Where I come from, we usually just use our first names and I'm really not used to anything different."
"All right, Olivia. See you around, maybe." He nods at her and turns around to leave. The exam is already over since some time anyhow.
"See you, Hitoshi!" she grins and waves after him, glad she already made some kind of friend.
He stops in his tracks at the causal usage of his first name, shakes his head and just continues on his way while waving with his hand as he goes. What a strange girl.
