With those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Learning to fly!
Yuki had brought Katsuki back to the dorms. The time for explaining was now, Yuki knew he'd have to do it now. Katsuki seemed perplexed on what was going on, and saw that Yuki hadn't ever spoke since leaving the school.
Katsuki wondered why he was being so quiet, however, they then came into contact with All Might.
"Aah Young Yuki! It seems that you've come back!"
"Hey All Might. Yeah, sorry for being a bit late. Hehe, things got a little hectic at school, seems that we're the number one targets of a good number of First Years at the school."
"The blonde kid and purple hair are gunning for us more than most."
Katsuki interrupted, Yuki nodding.
"Yes, it was Shinso-san and...erm...ooh yes, Monoma-san, they both seemed hell bent on trying to fight against us during the Sports Festival huh."
All Might raised a brow.
"Really? Anything troubling?"
Yuki shook his head a few times.
"Just some competition, that's all. I wouldn't worry about it. Though remember that thing we were gonna talk about All Might. You know, with Kacchan?"
Katsuki glanced at Yuki who gave a half smile, he wished to show that this would really good thing.
"Aah, right. Yes, follow me."
Yuki nodded, as Katsuki followed after him, still confused.
They went to a private area, with two couches. All Might sat on the right hand side one, with Yuki and Katsuki sitting on the left hand side one. As he did, Yuki felt his body suddenly lifting up ever so slightly, so he gripped the side of the couch so he didn't fully go up into the air.
Katsuki looked between them, seeing that silence had fallen between them.
"Alright, what the hell is going on? All Might, have you got something to say? Yuki said he wished to talk about something important, but hasn't said anything about it yet."
All Might laughed awkwardly.
Yuki on the other hand saw Katsuki becoming even more curious than ever.
"So, anyway Kacchan..." Yuki began with a slight nervous chuckle escaping his lips. "I'm sure that you're curious about what happened, back at the USJ. In fact, I'm sure that you're curious about a few things, like the fact that...how to say it...how my physical abilities are...more than you'd probably expect, given that you know about my Quirk."
Katsuki inclined her neck in agreement.
"The thought crossed my mind more than once. I've found it a bit odd that you didn't try anything like this before you met All Might. For a short while, I even thought that somehow he had given you his Quirk or something, but I don't know how that would be a thing so I benched that idea."
"We-Well, maybe you should not bench that idea."
Yuki laughed in a semi carefree manner to convey a sense of calmness to the young girl, though it seemed Katsuki had really been on the ball and come up with some explanations.
"Come again?"
Katsuki questioned, Yuki looked to All Might for assistance, so All Might cleared his throat, and continued on.
"Yes, you see Young Bakugo..." Yuki saw All Might look towards him, he nods, so All Might does as well. "...here, let me show you."
Yuki watched as he switched from his buff tall form, to his smaller regular form, with Katsuki's eyes popping out of her head near enough, the visible shock was clearly evident on her face, Yuki could see that she had a million questions that she was had running through her mind.
Yuki moved closer, and placed his hand on top of her hand.
"There's a few things, that we need to talk about Kacchan."
"That's an understatement Yuki."
Yuki knew that it was, and he knew that he'd have to explain as well about this.
"It is...so let me explain from the beginning, okay?"
Katsuki nodded, so Yuki did just that.
Discussing the situation regarding All Might, himself, and the Quirk One For All.
During it all, All Might saw that Katsuki was grappling with what she was hearing. It was clearly huge, even Katsuki understood that a good deal.
When Yuki finished, Katsuki stayed silent.
Yuki looked at All Might, who didn't say anything, not entirely sure how she was feeling.
"So...Kacchan, that's the gist of it."
"Yeah."
She didn't really give anything away.
So Yuki didn't know what she was feeling right now.
"Are...you angry, that All Might chose me to wield the power?"
Yuki wondered if that was on her mind, as he knew she was a big All Might fan as well.
Katsuki looked at Yuki for a few moments, before laughing, surprising Yuki a good deal.
"Angry at what? Because you gained his power? Yeah right, doesn't really bother me."
"Really?"
Yuki wondered.
He believed a small part of her did have some wonders about it.
Katsuki contemplated what to say next, and then confirmed it within herself, before sharing it with Yuki.
"Yeah, I remember how big of a fan you were to him as well. I thought something was off back during when I heard what happened at the Entrance Exam stuff, and again when we were in that Quirk Assessment Test of Red Eyes."
"Does Aizawa know you call him Red Eyes?"
All Might interjected.
Katsuki didn't answer and continued on.
"It makes sense, the others might buy that your original Quirk was capable of doing that with your body. But I know more about it that they do, and I thought it was odd. Plus your relationship with All Might, among other things told me that something was going on."
"I thought you might have been mad. I know...you idolize All Might, even back when we were kids."
Katsuki inhaled a deep breath.
"I can't say that it isn't something that is shocking, because of course it is. But, you are also his fan, the first things we talked about was All Might, and the fact that you and he are so close, well I can't complain since I already considered you someone strong. If anything, it only makes me more determined to become even stronger than ever before."
Yuki became misty eyed while Katsuki looked on towards All Might.
Seeing All Might nodding, Katsuki felt content for the time being.
If she wasn't picked, then she was glad that someone reliable was picked, someone that had a good way of using the power that he had.
"Kacchan...I'm glad that you feel that way. I...I had to tell you, it was eating me up not telling you, as we shared everything. I wished to say, but it wasn't only my secret to share, I had to get the blessing of All Might..."
"Yeah, I get that. I'm glad you told me. Because even if you have ten Quirks, it isn't going to change the fact that I am going to become Number One Yuki. Don't care if you have All Might's, and your power together! So yeah, now all of that wondering makes sense to me. So All Might's Quirk huh."
Yuki nods his head, and explains a bit more.
"Yes...that's right. All Might's power, I was just as surprised as you when I first heard about it. It was right around the time that we met up again and I was shocked that he was offering it me, but I was happy, as I know that I can do a lot of good with it. Help people like me, that might not seem like they have hope, I could be that with this power, more than I could without."
Yuki spoke with a softness to his voice.
"Yeah...you can be."
Katsuki took his hand and placed it firmly on her knee.
When doing that, Yuki gave a content smile, being able to shared this was something he wanted to do for a good while, so doing it now was the best thing.
"I'm happy that I can finally talk to you about it. Also, there is one more thing that I need to talk about, and All Might...it's about the new power."
"New power? Geez, can this Quirk produce Quirks now?"
Yuki chuckled lightly.
"That would be cool if it could, but we're working on the theory that this new Quirk is from a past possessor of the Quirk One For All. It's something that will allow me to float, or even fly with the power of One For All added to it, it belonged to my Grandmother before me."
"Your Grandmother...right, you said that she also had the power before. So, you can fly now?"
Yuki waved his hand side to side.
"That's tricky to answer, I suppose technically, but I cannot control it yet. I randomly start to float whenever I am either alone, or even in class today. That noise you heard, was me hitting the chair, after I was floating up a little bit, and it came crashing down onto the ground...ehehe, it really is a confusing time."
"But the power to float or fly, I can already do that with my explosions! Hahahaha!"
Yuki was glad that Katsuki still seemed to be the same as ever.
"Yeah, seems so Kacchan~"
"Come on then, let me see the power of flying or whatever."
Yuki laughed awkwardly, and got to his feet.
He raised his arms above his head, while Katsuki blankly stared at him.
"Yuki, you aren't drunk or anything, are you?"
"I'm not drunk! I can float!"
"Then lets see it!"
"I'm trying! Come on Float, activate...activate…!"
Yuki willed himself to begin floating.
But nothing happened.
He kept his arms up and waited for what to happen…
"Aaah!"
But then Yuki took off like a rocket, surprising everyone in the room.
Katsuki looked as did All Might as his body came towards the ceiling.
Stopping short of the ceiling, he gave a thumbs up to All Might.
"Seems to be..." Suddenly, his body began falling, and he couldn't stop it. "Ooh shit..."
Landing on the ground with a thud, he breathed out of his nose slowly.
Groaning, Yuki looked up, and saw Katsuki looking towards him curiously.
"What was that?"
"I flew."
Yuki giggled out, Katsuki raised a brow with a smirk.
"That seemed like a jet, or something rather than floating."
"Well, it is the power to float, which might be boosted to fly with One For All. Need to learn to control that."
"Yeah, you do. Damn Yuki, I'm gonna have to whip your butt and make sure you don't blow your cover."
"Hehe, yeah if I don't get this floating stuff down, I might not be able to hide it forever."
Katsuki smirked.
"Either way, your jet power, your super abilities and the original Quirk that you have, doesn't make a difference to me. I'll show you the power of Explosion!"
All Might watched the back and forth between them.
He did worry that something could have happened between their relationship.
But no, it was going just as strong, if not even stronger, than ever.
The trust, the care and love they held for one another was something All Might had to smile about.
He was happy that they had one another like this.
A few days into the training, Yuki was working on controlling the power of Float. So far, he had a little success. He could begin activating it, and he was float a little bit. But, there were times when he was suddenly shoot up, and go very high and then drop without warning.
Other times, he was able to use it pretty well.
It was all about balance, and that's what he thought would be best.
So right now, he was sat with someone he thought would be able to help him control the power of Float, and that was Ochaco.
Right now, the pair sat together outside of the dorms, in a private field near said dorms. Trees were in the distance, the field was rather large and open.
A picnic had been set up, and they sat close to one another, as Yuki took a bite of the sandwich that he made, Ochaco had a sip of her drink while they managed to converse with one another.
"So Uraraka-san, how's the training with Himiko-chan going?"
Ochaco rubbed the back of her head, and giggled awkwardly.
"Well, it's going pretty well. Thanks to Himiko-chan, I'm getting quicker. But she's like a real speed Demon. She's super fast when she wishes to be, and how she can hide away so quickly. But it is helping me. What about you?"
Yuki couldn't say about his Float training.
But he could speak about some other stuff.
"Yeah, Kacchan and I are training together, it's going pretty good. She's really determined, and I've been working on a move or two."
"Ooh really? Me too!"
Ochaco announced, with Yuki becoming intrigued.
"Really? Was is it?"
Ochaco placed a finger to her lips, and shook her head.
"That's a secret Yuki-kun, maybe you'll get to see it during the Sports Festival!"
Yuki loved how positive she was, and how she would brighten up his day.
"Haha, alright then. I can wait until then." Yuki smiled out, then he budged closer towards her. "Say Uraraka-san, can I ask you a question about something to do with your Quirk?"
Ochaco was intrigued, and nodded.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, you can use your Quirk on yourself, right? Like being able to...float."
Ochaco placed a finger to her chin and thought about it.
"Hmm, yes that's right. Well, it can be somewhat difficult, but I can do it. Why did you ask?"
Yuki did his best to think of the best way to speak about this without going into full details as to why he was thinking about this all of a sudden.
"I was just thinking, the ability to float like that, it must take time to get used to. To adjust in the air, and move and all that."
"I certainly can! Though due to using it on myself, I do suffer a bit of nausea."
"I see. So, do you mind if I see you do it? Of course, if you don't want to, don't worry-"
Before he could finish, the young girl spoke in a peppy attitude.
"No, I don't mind at all~ Leave it to me~ Watch this~"
Ochaco placed her hands on herself.
She then began lifting herself into the air, with Yuki smiling at the sight.
She was able to lift off the ground a good few feet, with Yuki's head cocked up the more she went up.
When she levelled off a few feet into the air, his eyes met with her own as she casually floated around.
"How come you wanted to know about this anyway?"
Yuki thought about the best way to answer that, and managed to do so a few seconds later, with the best explanation he could think of at that moment in time.
"Well, I might have to do a battle in the air one day, so I was curious about the best way to move around in the air, and how to counter it as well."
What Yuki said technically wasn't a lie either.
While not the full truth, he also did know that he might have aerial battles as well, so getting some intelligence from Ochaco, who with her Quirk, could also use a power similar to float, Yuki watched her keenly, and thought the best way that he could do about what he could do with his own Float Quirk, and how he could use it in different ways.
"Ooh right, then watch carefully!"
"Will do!"
Yuki replied enthusiastically, with Ochaco grinning ear to ear.
She then used her arms like she was flapping wings, and moved through the air as if she was swimming.
Yuki gave a keen smile as he watched Ochaco move through the air. She looked graceful, like she was dancing. At the same time, he also thought that the way she moved her arms was a good way to get an initial grip on using Float, and how he could apply that to his own movements.
"So, swimming through the air huh...that would make sense. I could do that with my feet as well, kicking outwards and achieve a burst of speed in the air in any given direction...and how she is able to brake mid air as well, that definitely would come in handy for me to use Float as well."
As he thought about it, he suddenly saw Ochaco's face turn pale, and she placed a hand to her mouth.
"I-I'm gonna come down now, feel a bit nauseous."
She explained, and gently allowed her to come down to said ground relatively quickly.
Taking in several sharp breaths, she was able to soon feel better while Yuki gave a thankful look.
"Thanks Uraraka-san, sorry if you still feel sick."
Ochaco waved her hand side to side.
"N-Naah, it usually goes away within a minute or so, I'll be fine. But, did I help you maybe?"
Yuki nods his head.
"You very much did, thank you."
Ochaco waved her hands side to side, as Yuki thought about Float, and how best to implement it to us own use of the power.
Though he was very grateful to Ochaco, and knew that this would help him in his way to being able to use Float.
The next day, while Yuki was going to be training with his Float Quirk, he had unexpectedly been called out by Tsuyu of all people. He didn't get what was going on, but he met up with her, at the schools swimming pool.
When he got there, he saw that she was wearing a full body swimsuit that clung to her skin. Green in colour, with some white stripes going across her torso area, her long hair was allowed to flow down her back, and her large eyes, along with the tongue sticking out of her mouth naturally gave her quite the cute appearance.
He himself was also wearing a swimsuit, with his chest being shown off, with Tsuyu noticing and had a small dusting of pink on her cheeks. However, she kept her composure, and she hopped towards Yuki in a quickened manner.
"Yuki-chan ribbit."
"Aah Asui-san..." Tsuyu raised a brow, so Yuki corrected his words. "Tsu-san." Tsuyu nods. "I was surprised that you called me out all of a sudden."
"I need your help ribbit. Will you help me out?"
"Of course, what is it?"
Tsuyu points towards the pool, and then his hands.
"I want you to make some stuff under the water for me. For my training, I am going to be learning to move faster and faster in the water, then I'm going to try my best to replicate that on land as well. As a frog, I am more naturally inclined to be in the water."
Yuki could certainly understand that.
"I see, I don't mind. Tell me what you want, and I'll do it for you."
"Thank you ribbit."
Tsuyu bowed, as she explained what she wished for.
Yuki dove into the water, and began using his Quirk on the pools bottom, causing it to rise, and become different types of obstacles for Tsuyu.
As he did, Tsuyu looked on and placed a keen finger to her lips, as she watched him swim around and use his Quirk at the same time.
When he finished, he pulled his body from the water, and sat on the side.
"Is that good?"
Tsuyu inspected what he had done, and gave a nod of her head.
"Yes, that will be perfect ribbit."
Yuki was glad to help out his fellow student.
However, Tsuyu then turned towards Yuki and lifted an eyebrow.
"By the way, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"It just seems that since the USJ, something's been a bit different."
Yuki was surprised she picked up on such subtle things, especially since they didn't know one another all that well.
"Well, it was quite the difficult time during the USJ, many things have happened since then."
"Yes, I noticed you seemed a bit quieter than usual. Was it because of that monster? I heard that it was able to cause a lot of damage. I heard that it managed to hit you as well."
Yuki hummed and thought about the best way to say it.
"No, it wasn't really because of that. It was more, seeing others in danger I suppose."
Yuki replied truthfully.
That's how he was able to keep going during situations like that.
"What about you?" Tsuyu asked, receiving a confused stare from Yuki, so she continued. "You were in danger as well. Weren't you worried about yourself?"
Yuki thought about it, then shook his head.
"Didn't have time to worry about myself. Saw that people needed help. I guess you could say that I was so focused that it didn't really cross my mind, my safety. I heard from All Might that Hero's have that kind of mentality."
"Yes, it is probably a quality that a Hero would have to have. Though Aizawa-sensei said that because of you, he didn't suffer major damage from that creature. He also said that the shaking of the building, you managed to hold the entire building together, something that I saw as well, so you protected us all ribbit."
Yuki scratched his cheek.
"I did what I could for my friends, that's all."
Tsuyu nodded slowly.
"I'm glad ribbit. I thought you were rather kind, but even during such a difficult situation, you thought about all of us. You were even the first person that managed to move. For that, thank you."
Yuki looked on, and gained an embarrassed face.
He never did it for any praise.
He didn't even think about such things.
"You don't have to thank me."
Tsuyu's lips curl upwards ever so slightly, as she dove into the water.
She then extended her tongue and wrapped it around Yuki.
"Lets swim together ribbit."
"Sure, lets swim~"
Yuki was then pulled into the water.
He smiled, as he and Tsuyu dove under the water, and were able to have fun together with the young girl.
Getting to know Tsuyu even more than ever before, was something that he really did like.
Being able to just relax like this with Tsuyu was the best kind of feeling after all.
A few days after that, Yuki took a small break from flight training, as he was expected to see another person tomorrow about flight, so today he was working on increasing his overall usage of One For All, allowing it to flow through him, and then shoot around a battlefield, destroying some obstacles that he had set up with his Reform Quirk.
While doing so, Shoto observed from a distance about what Yuki was doing.
Yuki was also acutely aware that she was watching him, so he didn't speak aloud about his powers.
He didn't know what she had with her intentions.
Whatever it was, he observed her, as she did him to see what was going on.
Shoto on the other hand looked on, and thought about the reasons that she was actually there for.
"Why am I here? Though I should be training, I couldn't stop thinking about Yuki-san. But I'm not entirely sure why that is. Why did I want to see what he was doing? To see if he was learning new moves? Or, to see what he was currently capable of? I don't know..."
She couldn't explain it, but during the Battle Trial, and even after that, especially during the USJ incident, she had become more intrigued by him, his capabilities, and what it would be like to fight against him.
Noting his quickness in a fight, his ability to move and adapt, she was all the more curious as to what he truly could do, what she could do to fight against such an opponent, and how he'd combat her ice as well.
"I wonder if his physical strength would be enough to face against my ice? Maybe it would be enough to shatter the ice...maybe it would be enough to cross the distance and end the fight. Though with fire..."
Shoto paused, and looked at her Father's side.
The flames that she never used.
Thinking about it, caused her to remember the past, a past that she didn't want to remember about at all.
She dismissed the idea of using fire, and kept watching Yuki from a distance, how well he was able to move.
"If I am to beat him, I'd have to lock him down, and the way he uses his Quirk, on the ground...it seems that he has to touch it with his hands. If I can prevent that from happening, maybe I'd have the advantage...but, what would his hands do to my ice if he got a hold of it? Launching large attacks could overwhelm him, but I'd have to also contend with frostbite at the same time if I unleashed my best several times. It might even take that to get one up over Yuki-san. He is probably one of the strongest students...maybe even the strongest in our class. He managed to handle Bakugo-san and I've seen her prowess in a fight. I wonder if it is simple training, or if there's more to it that I'm not seeing yet..."
Shoto contemplated it.
How Yuki moved, and how he responded during the Villains attack.
It felt like it was something he was used to.
Something that he expected to happen at some point.
She hadn't thought of asking him, she didn't want to approach such a subject yet.
While thinking about it, Shoto saw All Might walk over to Yuki.
Since both were aware of Shoto, All Might was in his buff form.
"It seems that your speed is improving Young Yuki!"
Yuki adopted a small smile.
"Thanks All Might. Also, thank you for taking the time to train me."
All Might waved his hand side to side.
"Don't worry about such things like that. I'm happy to help all of my students!"
Yuki bowed his head, as Shoto looked on.
Seeing the look on Yuki's face when speaking to All Might, seeing the same thing when All Might spoke to Yuki, made Shoto wonder the nature of their relationship.
However, while deep in thought, Yuki came close to the half and half Quirk user, producing what looked like a cupcake, and presented it to Shoto.
"I figured that you might get hungry. Do you want this?"
Shoto looked at the cupcake, and gently refused.
"No, I am not hungry, thank you. Though, I am curious about the way that you're fighting."
Yuki raised a single brow.
"What about it?"
"You seem to take inspiration from All Might."
"Yeah, him, and a few others as well. What about you Todoroki-san? Are you inspired by anyone?"
Shoto's eyes briefly went towards All Might.
Looking at the older man, she thought briefly to her childhood.
Her Mother.
But that soon faded as Yuki leaned closer.
"Are you alright Todoroki-san?"
"Yes, why?"
Yuki furrowed his brows, his eyes looking directly at the young girl, examining her face and becoming more and more curious about her as time went on, feeling that something's weren't exactly right, in fact the look in her eyes reminded him of himself when he was young.
"It's just, you looked sad then. I know, we don't know each other that well, but if you ever want to talk to me, then I'd happily listen."
Yuki did his best to connect with her.
He didn't want anyone to ever have to go through what he did.
And if he could help it, then he wished to do his best.
Shoto was also surprised by what he had said.
She didn't expect it.
But unexpectedly, it made a warmth spread inside of her chest.
She didn't fully understand what that was, but she did like it.
Though right now, she kept that to herself, and gave a stoic expression on her face.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." Shoto assured him, then her face became serious. "Also, though we are in the same class, I will have to face you with everything that I have inside of me. During the Sports Festival, I didn't get to fight you during the Battle Trial, so I'd like to rectify that."
Yuki wondered why she seemed so serious all of a sudden.
What was going on within her mind.
"Well, that is true. I did remember that you wished to fight me during that time. So if we do come up against one another this time, then it could be pretty interesting. Though I wonder, how come you want to fight me specifically?"
"Because, I have observed that within our class, you could be the strongest, and I wish to fight the strongest, so I can become the strongest as a result. So, will you fight with everything you have during our battle?"
Yuki could hear the intensity within her voice.
She was deadly serious.
It meant that much to her.
"If you're this serious, then I will do."
"Good, then keep practising, because I will answer your resolve with my own."
With that, Shoto walked off, as complex feelings filled her being.
All Might moved closer, and looked at Yuki as he spoke.
"What was that about?"
Having no true idea though did have some guesses about it, Yuki shrugged his shoulders.
"Not sure. But she seemed intent on fighting me. Must be important to her if she was that serious. Well, it's alright with me if that's the case, I will answer the determination that she has, with my own determination."
All Might thrusted his fist to the sky.
"That's the spirit Young Yuki! Now, shall we get back to training?"
"Yes!"
With that, the pair continued the training.
Though for Yuki, it made him wonder what was going on with Shoto, and more importantly, why she looked sad when thinking of what inspired her.
A day later, Yuki, in his effort to control Float even more, went to go and see another Hero in training that was capable of sustained flight, and that was Nejire herself. He had called her out towards a similar area that he was with Ochaco in, and now she was currently stood wearing the girls gym uniform.
With her eyes meeting his, she became giddy and latched onto him tightly.
"Ooh my! Yuki-kun, I am so happy that you called me! Because I also want to confess to you too!"
"C-Confess?!"
Yuki spluttered out.
He hadn't an idea that Nejire was going to say that.
Nejire, still giddy, nodded several times in quick succession.
"That's right, I have a confession to make to you Yuki-kun!"
Yuki blushed deeply.
He wondered what she could even say at a time like this.
"S-So...w-what did you want to confess?"
Asking straight out, he thought was the best way to go about it.
She adopted a wide grin and pulled closer.
"Yes, what I want to confess about is the fact that you, Yuki-kun, are my special cuddle partner, and I don't want to ever give you up either. I've decided that we have to also cuddle one another for a good long time, okay?"
Yuki blinked.
He didn't think that's what she was going to say.
But at the same time, he thought that it was a rather Nejire, like thing to say.
"R-Right, that's okay, I'd be that for you." Nejire seemed satisfied. "So Nejire-san, can I ask you a question?"
"Eeh, sure. What is it sweetie?"
Yuki scratched his cheek, showing a mix of an innocent and curious look as he spoke to her.
"I was thinking about your Quirk."
"Ooh, you have, have you? I remember that advice you gave me, worked a treat you know?"
Yuki was glad to hear that.
"I'm glad that it helped."
"Yeah, worked quite well! So, what did you want to talk about regarding my Quirk? Interested in it maybe?"
"I am yes. With your ability to fly through the air, it really is quite the useful ability."
Nejire clicked her fingers, and nodded.
"Ooh yes, that's right. It can be quite useful to gain an advantage over an opponent that stays on the ground or can't launch long range attacks. Gives me the safety of fighting from a distance, and controlling a battlefield."
Yuki could get that, and knew if he could use Float, and long range attacks, then he'd be able to gain an advantage on opponents as well that didn't have the capacity to deal with such long range attacks.
"Yes, that's pretty smart~ So, if you don't mind me asking, could you show me how you do it?"
Nejire tilted her head.
"Sure~"
"Great-"
"But..." Nejire began, giggling to herself. "Gonna cost you though."
Yuki was surprised that she said that.
He didn't think she'd be the type to say such things.
"O-Oh, okay. How much?"
"Not with money sweetie~" Nejire leaned closer, and wrapped her arms around Yuki tightly, his face being pushed into her chest, as she happily stroked the back of his head, causing a bright blush to appear on his cheeks. "There, this is good Yuki-kun. I like that we can cuddle like this, so maybe you could also come to me sometimes and cuddle me~ I'd love to receive a cuddle from my cute junior sometimes as well~"
Yuki didn't mind if this is all she wanted.
"Yes, of course. I'll do that Nejire-san."
"Great, great~ Now watch carefully my cute Yuki-kun."
She placed a finger on his lips, and pulled away.
Her eyes and his met, as Yuki saw a spiraling energy beginning to form underneath her feet.
He watched as she was propelled into the air, with her energy following after her.
"You know, for this years beauty pageant, I've been thinking of using my Quirk to draw in the air. Should be possible, don't you think?"
Yuki looked on, and saw that her energy did leave a lasting trail in the air, which he did think she could use. He also noticed how beautiful it looked, coupled together with Nejire, he couldn't help but show a small smile on his face.
"Yes, I think it would be amazing to see."
"Yeah! Also, you'll come, right Yuki-kun? You could even be my cute date~"
"D-Date..."
Yuki murmured, his cheeks heating up at the thought of going out with Nejire.
She winked, and floated down towards him, her energy spreading out around the air as she did do.
"Yes, my cute date. You would, right?"
"I-If you want me to then I would..."
"Great! I'm sure that it is going to be the best kind of date between us!"
Nejire became happy, and flew up into the air.
Yuki watched her with keen interest.
Like Ochaco, he studied the way she moved.
He could see some key differences to how they moved, which he thought made sense as their application of flight was different. Though this also gave him a better overall understanding on the flight of both girls, and he'd be able to incorporate that into his own thoughts about achieving flight as well.
For the next few days, Yuki practiced with the Quirk Float, and he was getting it down. Slowly but surely, with practice, he was coming more accustomed to using the power of Float, but today he wasn't doing Float training.
Instead, he was training together with Momo.
"Lets do it!"
Yuki announced, so Momo created a simple staff, which she immediately came at him with a few strikes. Stabbing at him, Yuki weaved through the attacks, as she then brought the staff up, and swung it for his face.
Dodging out of the way, she chased after him, and got in from the right hand side.
She created what looked like a flash bang, so Yuki went to cover his eyes, when she already dropped it.
A bright light erupted, stinging his eyes, as she came in from the left now, to shake things up.
Yuki looked around for her, his eyes adjusting to the light that had stunned him.
Though he could have dodged or simply knocked her down with a fist, he also wished to help Momo, so he did the best that he could do keep level with her.
When he saw her, he moved his hand, and grabbed her staff as it came down towards him.
She gasped, as Yuki tightened his hand, crushing her weapon into pieces.
"Seems like my weapons gone...that's fine, I shall create another!"
Momo summoned another staff, and pulled back.
As she did, Yuki noticed on the ground she had left caltrops so he couldn't immediately chase after her.
"Good, always keep me second guessing and work towards a plan Momo-san!"
Yuki pushed his feet into the ground and flipped over the caltrops.
Landing on the other side, she already had summoned what looked like rope that was going to go around his body.
Unfortunately for Momo, Yuki was quick, and managed to rotate in place, grabbing the rope, launching it right for Momo, who dodged left, only to see that Yuki was right before her eyes.
"Ugh..."
Yuki noticed in that few moments, she panicked.
She lost some concentration for the fight, so he didn't do anything and waited for her to get back to where she was beforehand.
Thankfully, she snapped back, and created a net that she threw at Yuki.
The young man channeled One For All through his arm, and swung his arm out, generating enough wind pressure to send the net flying away from him, giving Momo the time to make a hasty retreat, and put distance between them.
Momo inhaled and exhaled, before she managed to create what looked like a cannon.
"Geez, gonna shoot me with cannon balls?"
Yuki joked, Momo however didn't stop and from the cannon, she fired it and what was released was a large net covering a wide radius, he was rather impressed with her ingenuity and how she adapted to many sitiations, but he didn't stop.
Channeling One For All once more, Yuki aimed his fist upwards.
"Detroit Smash!"
Swinging his fist, curled upwards, released a wave of wind high, which caught the net, and sent it flying away.
While doing so, she used this chance to create skates, and glide over towards Yuki's right hand side.
"I've got you!"
Using her staff, she brought it down like a hammer, only for Yuki to parry with his foot catching her staff, and with only a small bit of One For All, blew her arms upwards, so he didn't hurt her he held the power back, but it was enough to cause Momo to lose her stance.
He got in close, and thrusted his fist at her body.
She winced, seeing the fist coming closer and closer...
But his fist stopped before her eyes, then saw some disappointment in her eyes.
"Something wrong Momo-san?"
"I was just unsure of what to do when the fist came for me. I had so many thoughts to counter it, I guess I got a bit distracted."
Yuki pulled back and looked over Momo.
Seeing that she was feeling like she hadn't done her best, Yuki wished to cheer her up.
"Don't worry, it can be daunting fighting one on one if you're not used to it. Lets take a break."
Momo nodded, and sat down, so Yuki sat down next to her.
"So, how did you think I did?"
Momo asked, intrigue on her face.
"I think you did really well. Tactically, I think you're sound. You're smart, you have plans, and execute them very well. However, I think that due to your lack of experience in a battle, fighting up close with one on one, it is something that most for the first time would find daunting. During it, I saw hesitation within your eyes."
Momo smiled awkwardly.
She knew he was speaking the truth.
"I do need to work on that. Back at the USJ, I was with others, so I could fall back on them. However, there will be times that I will be relied upon and if I make a mistake, then it could spell trouble for those around me."
"Indeed, but it's good to get these things out now, to address them so you can push onwards. Which I think you're doing very well. I'm highly impressed with hoiw you handle situations Momo-san."
Momo loved the advice that she was receiving.
"Yes, you're right, and thank you very much. Also, thank you for taking the time to help me out. I'm not cutting into your own training too much, am I?"
Yuki shook his head several times.
"No, it's nothing to worry about. I'm glad to train with my classmates, to get to know them even more than ever before."
Momo adopted a small smile.
"Then, I'm ready to get back into it when you're ready Yuki-kun."
"Great, then lets do it!"
Momo nodded, and went back to training with Yuki.
Gaining some more confidence with the young boy beside her, Momo felt like with Yuki, she'd be able to do anything.
Nearing the end of the two weeks, Yuki had been practising with Float, and thanks to the advice, the training that he got with some of the others, Yuki was able to begin thinking about how to use the power, and now with that time having come to pass, Yuki prepared himself for the next evolution of the power.
All Might watched on as Yuki got ready to use Float.
"So Young Yuki, do you think you've got it down?"
"Yes, after everything that I've been training to do. I'm not floating without my command anymore, which is good. It seems that I've gotten that under control, now all I have to do is use Float effectively. From what I've seen, I think that I should be able to use it to fly in different directions."
"Yes, I think that would be a good way to use it. So I'm ready when you are."
Yuki inclined his neck, and mentally prepared himself.
"Alright...here we go…!"
Yuki took in a deep breath, and remembered everything he had learned, seen, and pieced together with his own thoughts about the subject of being able to float, fly, so All Might was keen to see this happen.
A moment later, he saw Yuki push off of the ground.
His entire body began to rise higher and higher into the air.
"You're doing it Young Yuki!"
"Yes, I'm controlling it!"
Yuki happily announced, and moved his arms as if he was swimming, which helped his movements, and did the same thing with his feet. Doing that in conjunction with one another, Yuki was able to move at a very decent speed.
All Might watched as Yuki yelled "I'M FLYING!" and the older man couldn't be more happy for his student, being able to use the power that his Grandmother was wielding long before he was born, and now it was something entirely new as well.
It was something All Might thought Yuki suited, being in the air.
Visions of his Master came to his mind as he looked at Yuki flying through the air.
Then Yuki came down and offered his hand, so All Might took it.
"Lets fly."
Yuki took off, and held All Might close as they flew together in the air.
With the wind brushing through their hair, Yuki flew further away, with All Might looking down and seeing the grass on the area they were stood. Neither thought it would be good to go and fly around the city right now, since Yuki still was in the middle of mastering it.
But the fact that he was doing it now, All Might thought that it was really good how he was able to use the Quirk pretty well. Gaining the advice of others seemed to have helped, as now he was soaring through the air.
Some moments he did stall, but then he'd pick the pace right back up once again.
Showing the dedication and hard work and effort he was putting into his movements, and his ability to adapt to new scenarios.
Yuki smiled at All Might, and he did the same thing right back.
"I can't believe it, isn't this amazing?"
"Yes, it certainly is Young Yuki!"
Seeing the smile on Yuki's face, All Might couldn't help but feel happy.
Though Yuki was going through a lot right now, he pondered that Yuki doing this, was bringing him closer and closer to his Grandmother, in a sort of way. Carrying her power, and achieving new heights with it.
Whatever was to come next, All Might felt that Yuki would be capable of handling it.
That he wouldn't back down and whatever obstacle would come before him, he would tackle it head on.
Even with the thoughts of Tomura being Tenko, All Might felt like Yuki would be able to handle it, and that he'd come to some form of conclusion on what he'd need to do now.
Whatever Yuki's answer was, All Might would support him as much as he could do.
Tomura, for a good few days now had been contemplating what he had seen. More than a few, nearing two weeks now had gone by, and each time Tomura thought about it, the more confused and unsure he would come, and All For One had stayed silent each time that he had tried speaking to him about it.
When he saw Yuki, he felt a sense of protectiveness come over him.
Yet at the same time, it felt something more.
Something he wished desperately to understand, but had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to understand.
All For One being secretive about it, didn't help either, and left Tomura wondering more about what this meant for him, what Yuki meant to him, even if he didn't remember.
"Yuki...that boy was called Yuki, but I don't know a Yuki...yet, when I look at him, why do I want to smile…?"
Tomura didn't get it, he wasn't entirely sure what was happening with his emotions right now.
But all he knew was that he needed to know more about him.
Why he knew the name of Tenko.
Why he was looking at him in sadness and pain.
He wasn't afraid at all, but when he saw him, it felt like Yuki was recognizing who he was.
He needed some kind of answers, so he went towards All For One once more, and wanted answers this time.
Going out of his room, and down a long corridor, he moved swiftly, and managed to cross the distance a good deal.
When getting to All For One, the elder simply sat within his chair, hooked to his life supporting machines. His eyeless face covered by the mask turned towards Tomura, who wore a confused and perplexed expression on his face.
"Tomura, what is troubling you-"
"That boy, who is he? Stop keeping it a secret, he knew my name...he looked at me, like he knew me...and I feel like I know him, so why don't I remember him...? Who is he Master?"
When Tomura asked that, All For One fell deadly silent.
It took him a few moments to collect his thoughts, how he wished to play this.
"You see Tomura, there was something that I was keeping from you, to shield you."
"Shield me? From what? Just come out with it already."
Tomura was impatient, he didn't like having to wait around for what seemed like forever.
All For One knew this bombshell would truly be something that he'd have to do, and he'd have to make it work to his best advantages. To drive the hate and anger that fuelled Tomura, so he would be perfect for All For One himself.
"Tomura, that boy...is your little brother, and All Might...took him to fight against us, against you. I want to reunite you so we can all fight together, but All Might's stopping you being together."
When Tomura heard that, his mind almost exploded.
A flashflood of memories went through his mind, but they were disjointed, he couldn't pick out any single memory, only imagines of Yuki as a young boy, either smiling, crying, happily playing with him, and looking depressed, all of it accumulated into a single burst of memories that Tomura was being overwhelmed by.
Due to being so overwhelmed, Tomura had a hard time keeping it together.
"My little brother...all this time...he reached out to me...but All Might was in the way..."
Overloaded with feelings, and the idea of his little brother being out there all alone, without him by his side like they always had promised to be...
Tomura...began to cry.
End chapter!
So this chapter focused on Yuki beginning to master Float. Seeking help from the likes of Ochaco and Nejiire, and doing that he by the end was able to show some control over the Quirk.
He also told Katsuki about the One For All Quirk, with Katsuki having figured out stuff wasn't right, due to the past that they shared, and how much she knew, and even was okay with him receiving the power.
Tsuyu, and Momo also had some one on one time with Yuki, while Shoto seems to be in the middle of trying to sort out the feelings that she holds inside, unaccustomed to it, and attempting to understand what she could do as well.
Also by the end, Tomura's putting more pieces together, and beginning to show true emotion for his long lost brother, something All For One is attempting to manipulate for his own ends with twisting the truth to benefit him and turn him even more against All Might. We'll see how that goes in the future!
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
