Primal Power

Tsu hadn't had the easiest of lives, she was strong and she was tough but she spoke strangely and looked frightening. She hadn't gotten another amphibian quirk like her parents and siblings, instead she got a mutation. She didn't grow normally, she grew as she ate and she was never full, yet she never starved either. She could even eat metal, explaining what happened to the principal's car during her elementary school days was not fun. She craved interesting food, especially if it was alive. Live food gave her strength for a short time and with enough food she grew stronger. Honestly she didn't know how strong she could get.

The entrance exam was perfect for her, robots to feast upon and not need to hold back. As she stands ready to begin the anticipation leaves a trail of saliva on the side of her mouth.

Present Mic calls the start and she leaps over the other contestants, landing hard before scurrying off to find her first victim. A three pointer appears around a corner and Tsu reaches out with her tongue, pulls it in and swallows it whole, to the astonishment of the many spectators.

"I hunt." Tsu says before leaping into a group of one and two pointers and roaring, somehow scaring the robots into attacking slower.


The test continued as such, devour, leap, roar and defeat enemies. Sometimes she was overwhelmed and had to retreat temporarily, but she always found an opening to crush her foes once more. After nine minutes she felt a strange roaring sound and moved to investigate, she had more than enough points and wanted to see if there was anything interesting to devour.

To her great joy she found the zero pointer terrorizing the main group of test takers.

"Interesting essence, must sample." Tsu says before leaping between the fleeing students and the giant robot.

Several students shout for her to flee but she merely opens her mouth wide and the students get the wonderful experience of watching a two meter tall test taker devour a fifty meter tall robot in one bite.

"Huh." Present Mic mutters as the rest of the staff stand gaping at the impossibility of what had just happened.

Tsu on the other hand was feeling something strange, an urge to evolve that she had never felt before. She followed her instincts and a cocoon appeared around her. After a few minutes, and everyone else leaving the test area, she emerged, at double her original size and with much thicker armor and keener senses.

"What was that?" Present Mic asks, earning himself a cane to the shins as Recovery Girl steps forward.

"You alright dearie?" Recovery girl asks.

"Yes." Tsu responds.

"May we ask what happened?" Recovery Girl asks kindly.

"Simple. I am Tsuyu. One-who-collects. I devour, I grow stronger." Tsu says.

"An interesting quirk, do you shrink or are you stuck this big now?" Recovery Girl asks.

"I do not shrink but I will adapt." Tsu responds.

"Well remember to contact the quirk assistance office if you need any help with these changes." Recovery Girl says before leading Present Mic away.

"Thanks." Tsu says before walking towards the entrance.

AN: Not a particularly long one, but I wanted to get this out. I have some ideas to continue this with, so you may get a continuation in the future. If anyone is familiar with Dehaka, Tsu was level 4 at the start and reached 6 by the end, with a standard ability spread. Nothing too special, but it's an interesting quirk nonetheless. It does bring the homicidal author out of me since I want her classmates to die and be devoured to give her their quirks and even more strength...
