A/N: Helloooo! How're you guys? I'm doing great! Or at least I was until I saw the first review I got on this story, which rightly pissed me off! And what's worse is that this guy claims to be the Mangaka of MHA himself! After talking with my friends, I highly doubt it's true, and thanks to them, I was able to regather my wits and avoid going on a verbal rampage, but read this, and you'll see why it set me off:
"What a stupid bastard this moronic author is... Learn to write, you dumb moronic asswipe. And your grammar is horrendous. Where did you got to school? In a brothel? Fuck, a one-month-old infant can understand English better than you. What a retard. And your OC is a bloody Mary-Sues. What, you have an inferiority complex in life and so you create characters that are the best? You really are a total loser and waste of oxygen. Bloody hell, what a disgrace to the literary world this poor excuse for a "story" is... Go fuck yourself"
To this I have 3 things to say.
First, Dude… Not Cool!
Second, does anyone have a Billy Goat I could borrow? Cuz I think I just got attacked by a Troll.
Thirdly, yes I admit my character is a Mary-Sue, but that is only without several details I realize I forgot to mention, so thank you for reminding me, dick-for-brains. *Puts on my best nerd glasses*
So as I said, my character is overpowered, I will admit that, but he is nowhere near as powerful as Nine from Heroes Rising, or worse, Storm from X-Men! So to explain in the previous chapter, I revealed that Traves's Maximum Area of Effect Range of Weather Generation and Manipulation combines the supposed size of the Peterson's Elementary School's Playground with the entirety of the Baranof Park Recreation Center's facilities, which, when rounded up, comes out to 800,000 square feet! Pretty impressive right? WRONG! In comparison to Nine and Storm, my character is more akin to an oxygen molecule on the wind.
In comparison to Traves, Nine is able to cover an entire island in a massive Thunderstorm, and he has several other quirks to back up his already overwhelming offensive power. Now, I don't know the size of Nabu Island from Heroes Rising, but taking the text from the MHA Wiki on Nine's Weather Manipulation quirk as literally as possible, it reveals that Nine has shown that "he was capable of creating large storm clouds that enveloped entire islands, summon lightning bolts, and even create giant tornadoes''. As I said, if taken as literally as possible, there is no defined upper limit to Nine's Quirk, as written on paper, in terms of the maximum size of the storms he could make, which could range from as small as Hub Island (3,300 square feet) to as large as Greenland (836,300 Square Miles)!
So, I highballed Nine's upper limit, did the math, and ran the numbers 9 times to make sure I was right! So to put this into perspective, a Square Mile takes up nearly 28 million square feet, and Traves as stated earlier, can only control an area of 800,000 of that! This means, if we highball Nine's potential power to match the size of Greenland, then Traves, at his current level, can only match 1/36th of 1/836,300ths of Nine's potential maximum power output if we use his Version of WeatherManipulation as literally as possible! Meaning That, in terms of power, if Traves were to face Nine right now, his chances would be 1 in 30,106,800
And don't get me started on Storm! She has enough power to reignite an Artificial Sun as well as created and controlled a storm so big that it enshrouded the entire Earth. The entire surface of the Earth is 196,900,000 Square Miles at least, and meaning that Traves's chances would drop from 1/30,106,800 to 1/7,088,400,000!
TLDR: Traves is overpowered, but in comparison to Nine's potential full power, or even Storm's greatest feats, he's basically cannon fodder. So yeah…
Anyway, with that aside, let's get to the real meat of this chapter, as I've decided to keep my word on a promise I had long been unable to fulfill due to personal reasons, but I will be making one of the official pairings in this story Fumikage Tokoyami with Tsuyu Asui. As for the rest of this promise, I had intended to include a version of Tokoyami in D&D as an Astral Self Monk, but I have come up with a few things that will expand upon that in this story. But more on that another time!
As I am working on possibly putting members of these classes on Teams, I've actually got an idea for a team with Traves as the leader, but I will explain that more later, as I'm trying to find the perfect balance of overpowered for students, yet not so much that professional Hero Teams would have a hard time taking them down if need be. So far I have 5 candidates, and due to one of them, I'm thinking of making it either a Four Person Team, or a Seven Person Team, depending if I can find a 6th candidate from Class 1-A or 1-B.
Anyway, that is enough out of me! Be sure to Follow, Favorite, Review, and Share this story! Catch you on the Flipside! May the Light of Alignak guide you safely home.
Chapter 2:
Traves wakes up after a hard night's sleep… It was the day after the First Day of School, and the Quirk Apprehension Test, and it wasn't something he was happy about… Mostly because he felt like he was cheating the whole time. So for some context as Traves cleans up and gets himself ready for the second day… The First Day had started out as it should, or at least as Traves had heard about Japanese Schools, in which they were supposed to go through an entrance ceremony, but instead, they were each told to change into Gym Outfits by their Homeroom Teacher, Shota Aizawa, and they were joined by Class 1-B for a Quirk Apprehension Test. Normally, as Aizawa would explain, each class was to do their Quirk Apprehension separately, but thanks to Traves and Inasa, the two class had an impromptu lesson about working together via their cooking for the class. As such, the Hero Course Students would now be taking Hero Classes together, which would make the load for their new Heroics Teacher Bigger, but also would allow the future heroes to test out their abilities against the whole spectrum.
Thankfully, the Tests were all designed to utilize their quirks in order to get the best results, but, unfortunately for the others, Traves was one of the top competitors for the entire test, and once it is revealed he has hit 3rd Place in his class, and 6th in the overall rankings for both, Aizawa and Vlad King singled him out and then asked him to explain how a foreigner exchange student like him has his quirk and physical prowess to the level it is without any training. Traves, true to his autistic nature, is incapable of lying to the teachers and the class, since he had been called out on it, and he explained he is the apprentice of Star and Stripe, the #1 Hero of America, and she trained him from the age of 7 in the militaristic style to get him to be able to handle the power and drawbacks of his quirk. Everyone wanted to start swarming him with questions, all except a few who were stunned at this, but one of them acted out of rage and attempted to attack the young man, demanding to know how Traves had gotten training from the #1 Hero of another country while he didn't. It would have devolved into a fight had Aizawa not taken the opportunity to restrain Bakugou and disable his quirk. However, Traves merely gave Bakugou what he wanted.
"The Truth is I only happened to be lucky that Star and Stripe was on vacation when she encountered me utilizing my quirk for the first time in public. She then took me under her wing once she realized my quirk was on another level from everyone else's and decided it was best to nip any sort of god-complex in the bud before it got out of hand." Traves says, "Though I see Japan doesn't have that kind of foresight and instead encourages people like you, Bakugou, to do whatever the hell they want because their quirk is strong and flashy, and cover for any sort of wrong-doings they do so they can have some credit in raising you to your status." However, in that instant Bakugou looks at Traves with pure rage, whilst Traves looks to the side, confused… 'Wait, how did I know that?' Traves thinks, putting a hand on his chin, trying to figure it out.
"You…" Bakugou says. "I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakugou tries to break free, only for Aizawa to give Bakugou detention and sends him off. Aizawa then turns to Traves, seeing the look of confusion on his face as he starts scratching his head.
"As for you Medina…" Aizawa says, "You're cleaning up the entire dorm for antagonizing your fellow student."
"Yes sir…" Traves says, still confused as to how he knew that, but decided to think on that later.
Back to the present, Traves moves downstairs and makes himself a simple sausage and egg breakfast sandwich with some coffee, mixing some hot cocoa mix and creamer into it, whilst joining it with some sliced apples. School doesn't begin for an hour so he can take his time eating as he thinks about what is going on. For some reason, he knows deep in his gut that Today's Heroics 101 Class will have them doing indoor combat simulations, and his Quirk, which creates such a massive area of effect, will be difficult to use in enclosed spaces, as there is a high chance of friendly fire if he isn't careful. However, just as he finishes up, he hears a pair of footsteps making their way towards him.
"Morning, Stormcrow!" Setsuna says, smirking
"Hey! Medina!" Inasa says, boisterously. "Good Morning!"
"Morning, Yoarashi and…" Traves says, trying to remember her name.
"Tokage Setsuna! We met at the Entrance Exam, you gave me a hand with some idiots who were starting to harass me!" Setsuna says, smiling. "So yeah, oh you one, Stormcrow!"
"Stormcrow? Why are you referencing Gandalf?"
"What?" Setsuna asks, confused.
"What?" Traves says, confused as well.
"Oh Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White, from the Tolkien Universe, right? The Wizard who helped save the World from the Second Dark Lord, Sauron?" Inasa asks, "He had the nickname of Stormcrow due to circumstances in the book!"
"Oh now that is interesting! Though, seriously, I was referencing your wing shaped hair, which is black as a crow's feathers, and your quirk!" Setsuna says, smiling, to which Traves blushes as he timidly pulls on one of his curls. 'That's adorable!'
"So what do you think we will be doing today?" Inasa asks.
"I think we will be getting the basics of the subjects of our class, before we move onto our Heroics 101 Class…" Traves says, looking down as he rinses off his dishes and polishes off his coffee. "Anyway, we should get going, if you want, we can meet up during lunch!" Traves says, smiling at his friends, in which they nod as they all head to their respective classes.
The Day seems to go by without incident, and Traves makes sure to memorize everything he can as the day goes by, taking notes as he goes. He has to remind himself that the Japanese Education System is much more brutal and unforgiving than the American one, and to this, he is grateful that his teach had warned him as such, if he wanted to study at UA, he had to prepare himself for such things. Thankfully though, he learned that UA has the "Optional Classes Day" on Saturday, so he had a choice of taking the day off to relax, or going to classes if he had nothing better to do.
At Lunch, Traves goes over the student roster for the Hero Course, and begins to compare the quirks of each individual student, and in his mind, he begins to form possible team combinations in a notebook, and how well they would work together, or how badly they would fail. During this, Traves finds 3 Quirks that would work together perfectly with his… Fumikage Tokoyami… Tsuyu Asui… and Ibara Shiozaki… Dark Shadow would take advantage of the dark clouds he could create to block out the sun, whilst being limited by the sunlight he can generate… Frog would accel once he brought the rain, as even a little bit of water can make even a perfect road slippery, and she can take advantage of that… And Thorns can take advantage of his rain and sunlight to grow endlessly…
That is when his mind turns to the two he considers his friends… Inasa Yoarashi, and Setsuna Tokage… Something creeps up in the back of his mind about Setsuna, in which it tells him about her quirk, Lizard Tail Splitter… "It allows her to separate her body into multiple fragments, each of which she can manipulate according to her will. However, they are each weak by themselves, but due to their relatively small size and high speed, it is like being swarmed by stingless bees…" The voice says, said voice sounding just like Tokage-sa-
"Yipe!" Traves shrieks, realizing somebody is right behind him, to which Setsuna burst out laughing at this. "Setsuna! What the hell!?"
"Sorry, it was just so funny!" She says, giggling, "And who gave you permission to call me by my first name?"
"S-Sorry… American habits…" Traves says, scratching the back of his head. "Anyway, were you just telling me the capabilities of your quirk?"
"Yup! I saw you vigorously writing notes about possible team combinations, and I had to say, when it comes to me, you should know some of the good parts!" Setsuna says, smiling at him in a way that causes the American to blush slightly. "My Quirk does also give me some regenerative abilities, so if I were to lose a piece to an enemy's attack, I could regenerate it pretty damn easily. Though the downside is that it really drains my stamina."
"Have you ever tried eating beforehand to offset that a little?" Traves asks.
"I have, though it doesn't do much." Setsuna says.
"You should try doing it more often, every little bit helps, especially with regeneration, as it requires a lot of calories and nutrients to keep up. So maybe try packing a protein bar or two whenever you go out, might help!"
"You might have a point…" Setsuna says, "So what about your Quirk, is there anything you can tell me about it?"
"Well I pretty much spilled it out yesterday, but the thing is that while my Quirk is really frickin strong? It's nothing in comparison to a certain comic book character I read about, or hell, there is even a villain I've heard of in whispers that is capable of covering entire islands in storms."
"Yeesh, i wouldn't want to run into whoever that is!" Setsuna says, "Though, I find it interesting that you're actually able to fly! I mean Yoarashi can fly, but it seems his takes a lot of effort, despite how much fun he has. Yours is almost seamless!"
"Well it has to do with the fact that I've actually have a built-in safety feature to my quirk, but mine is a bit more flexible. As I stated a few days ago, my quirk creates an area of effect where I can generate and manipulate the weather within it, however, that isn't the whole story." Traves explains. "Though my quirk is called Weather, if one were to look at an old website called "Superpower Wiki" my Quirk would fall under the "Personal Storm" Superpower, it basically allows me to generate weather phenomena from an area that is my own and manipulate it. Normally, Personal Storm Users in fiction generate clouds around them that usually follow their every move. My case is very similar, but my cloud hugs very close to my body in the form of a very fine mist that is near invisible to the naked eye. With this "Nimbus Armor" as I dub it, I can create a barrier around my body which only allows temperature and humidity through, and with that, I simply redirect the Air Currents around me to and I ride on the winds I create, the same way clouds do, and thus I gain the ability to fly."
"It sounds wonderful, and complex!"
"Yeah, but to put it simply, I simply create a wingsuit made of clouds and go wherever the wind takes me." Traves says, to which Setsuna giggles at the thought of him in a wingsuit. "Say, I had a question about your costume!"
"Oh my costume?" She asks with a mischievous grin and slight blush on her cheeks. "You want to get a look?" She opens her uniform a bit, making Traves a blushing mess, but he notices she has a notebook in the folds of her clothes, possibly held in place by the strap of her bra. She pulls it out and then flips to a page for her friend. Traves looks at the design and blushes, it's a skin tight bodysuit, but what causes him to stop blushing is the material that it is made from, her own skin cells, genetically modified to become extremely tough and dense scales, similar to the skin of a Komodo Dragon mixed with a saltwater crocodile. However, thanks to the material it is made from, it can regenerate alongside her, and it comes up with some notes about how her quirk works alongside it. "What do you think?"
"I think you're missing something!" Traves says, smiling, "You're missing knives!"
"Knives? Why Knives?" Setsuna asks.
"Well I don't know if you know this, but your Quirk reminds me of a certain fictional character, Captain Buggy the Clown from One Piece!" Traves explains, "His Bara-Bara no Mi powers are identical to yours, only difference is they didn't regenerate! Maybe you can read up on this fictional character, might give you some ideas!"
"You know, I think I might!" Setsuna says, smiling. The end of lunch comes sooner than most would want, but the Students of 1-A and 1-B begrudgingly accept it and make their way towards the final class of the day, Heroics 101. Thanks to the new restructuring of the class, All Might shows himself to both Classes, and informs them that this first class will be a combat simulation, and he has everyone put on their costumes and get ready for today's activities. As everyone enters the locker room, Traves's costume actually has a very striking design.
If one were to describe his costume, one would describe it as a suit of armor shaped that is primarily navy blue with touches of metallic gold. The entire suit is themed after an Osprey, with the boots having three talons on the toe and a rear talon flowing out from the heel, whilst a pair of golden wings are outfitted into why colored arms. The entirety of the armor is designed to almost perfectly mimic the raptor's plumage, save for the tail feathers, which are not present. The Golden touches come in for the markings around the Osprey's eyes, the feathers of the Wings, the talons on the fingers and toes, and finally in patterns along the armor armor to give it decoration.
"Hey, Traves, I have a question!" Yoarashi asks. "If you can already fly, why do you need wings on your armor?"
"Oh that goes with the Thunderbird theme I'm going for!" Traves explains, "The Thunderbird can create powerful tornadoes from it's wings and send out bolts of lightning from it's eyes." Traves explains, "I learned that using fans in conjunction with my wind based attacks allows me to amplify their force, whilst I trained to be able to redirect lightning with my sight alone. Plus, using my wings during flight gives me some extra stability and allows me to make sharper turns!"
"I see! That's amazing!" Inasa says, and soon they all walk outside, in which Traves is shocked when he sees Setsuna walk over with him, her skintight, form-fitting, and heavily scaled catsuit leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination.
"Hey there…" Setsuna says in a sultry voice, to which Traves stiffens up hearing that, his helmet deciding now was a good time to collapse and reveal Traves's bright red face to her, as well as his bleeding nose. "Oh my…" she says in English, but smiles at him. "Am I getting a bit of blood out of you? You little perv…" he teases him.
"S-sorry!" Traves says, wiping his nose as Inasa chuckles at his friend's expense. The group is then told that they are going to be doing an Indoor Battle Simulation by All Might, who explains that most battles between villains occur indoors, where back-room deals, bombings, and other such things occur because the best villains stick to the shadows and try to remain undetected as long as possible, and when they are discovered, they know most of where they are attacking from and have a sizable advantage against the heroes already. "Fuck…" Traves curses in English.
"What's wrong?"
"My quirk is terrible for indoor combat… Enclosed Spaces don't allow for good management of weather and friendly fire…" Traves explains, to which Setsuna looks up "Personal Storm" on the Superpower Wiki, and looks at it, confused.
"Why do you say that?"
"I've been trained as a heavy artillery and as an eye in the sky type of fighter, providing recon and heavy firepower when needed in an open battlefield…" He blushes with embarrassment, "My teacher never taught me how to use my quirk indoors."
"Well…" That is when All Might calls everyone to draw lots to see who their partners are, and then he will draw lots for which team will be against which team. Traves draws the letter for Team T, as does Setsuna, and as for their lot in life, the two of them are set against Team B, which is Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shouji, in which Traves looks at Todoroki and Team T is set as the villains for their exercise. Traves and Setsuna find the bomb, in which Traves is trying to think of a plan, and his mind is racing a hundred miles a minute. "Medina!"
"Huh?" Traves asks.
"I…" She starts, but then looks at him, "Oh never mind! But do you have a plan for how we could beat Todoroki? I know he's like us, a Recommendation Student, so he probably is really strong."
"Well I did do a bit of reading on his quirk, and it allows him to generate intense flames and ice…" Traves says, "I could generate intense heat from my Sunlight Effect, to deal with the ice, but as for his flames… I could utilize rain and snow, but I think I'd probably be nuking the entire building if I did…" Traves says, holding his chin.
"Well I might have an idea…" Setsuna says, "Though I gotta ask, did you forget what your Quirk pretty much is?"
"A Personal Storm?"
"There is the answer to your Problem…!" Setsuna says, flicking his nose, to which Traves holds his nose as he gives her a bit of a glare. "Your training, as you said, never gave you any experience using your quirk in close quarters combat or in enclosed spaces, so this is going to be a chance for you to adapt!" Traves grumbles, not in the mood for a lecture, but…
"I'll take that under advisement…" Traves says, grumbling a bit as he sits down in meditation and begins to think, calming down as he slowly comes up with a plan, and just before the 5 minutes of prep are done, Traves opens his eyes and his helmet reforms on his face. "I've got a plan…"
"Good, what is it?" Setsuna says, walking up to him sultrily and placing a hand on his chest plate, looking into his eyes. Traves, playing along, places a hand on the small of her back and pulls her in close, and leans in to whisper into her ear. A wicked grin forms on Setsuna's face as she smirks. "Oh you are a wicked wicked man…" Traves only smiles at her, and soon the alarm is sounded as the match begins to which Traves smiles as Setsuna spreads her body into several pieces, ensuring none of them are touching the ground as Traves opens a window, allowing for wind to flow in, and he concentrates as the cloud of mist around his body becomes visible as he glows with heat.
Meanwhile, at the entrance, Shoto, half his body covered in ice, glares out into the hallway ahead of him as Mezo Shouji walks next to him. "So what are we going to do, Todoroki?"
"You won't need to do anything…" Shoto says, "I have this…" He then releases his ice from his body, sending it down the hall, only for something to approach them, and a hot wind blows past them, stopping the spread of Shoto's ice. "Hot Air… I should've guessed…" The Ice he is generating begins to melt rapidly as Shoto glares. "Looks like this won't be as simple as I thought…" That is when Traves comes into view, releasing the heat from his body, coughing as the air begins to cool.
"Finally… Found you…" Traves says, placing a hand on his communicator, "Found them Tokage-chan… Get ready…"
"Roger…" She says on her end, which turns out to be right behind Shouji and Todoroki, both of them turning around. "Over and out!" Shouji swings his fists as Setsuna's parts start dodging his attacks then begin swarming him like a hive of angry beast, save for her upper body and the majority of her head and neck, which only the jaw and front half of the neck are near Shouji.
"So this is your plan…? Bringing your partner this close into friendly fire? You are reckless…"
"No, reckless was putting somebody with a quirk like mine into enclosed spaces where Friendly Fire is an assurance…" Traves says, twitching his hand as he grabs Shoto and takes him a good distance away. "As for Tokage-chan and Shouji, I already figured out how she can beat him… It will just take time to do so…" That is when they begin to hear thunder, dark clouds flowing out of Traves's body as he looks at Shoto, who starts generating cold air from his body, both of them glaring at each other. "So was it your father who gave you that scar?" Shoto's glare intensifies, clenching a fist. "I already pegged you for an abuse victim, that hate and rage in your eye is all the proof I need…"
"Shut up…" Shoto says, sending spears of ice at Traves, who calls winds to him, creating a tornado strong enough to rip the ice apart. "You don't know anything."
"No, but I want to… You're not the only one with a monster for a father… Tell me, have you ever heard of a villain called Stormfront…?" Traves says, "He was a Villain who utilized his weather manipulation abilities to extort rich people by flooding and destroying their factories and crops, commit insurance fraud against natural disasters resulting from storms, embezzlement of money from people whom he was sworn to protect as an insurance agent, murder in the First Degree on multiple people and police officers, and obstruction of justice via false evidence and false imprisonments. Not only that, he was also guilty of cheating on his wife, spousal and child abuse, but worst of all, when he was finally cornered by the cops, he had created a storm cloud 50 acres wide and was more than willing to commit a massacre, with his own children included, just to save his own ass. The only thing that stopped that monster was his own son, barely a few years old, who, without a conscious thought, banished his storm clouds, and ensured his arrest."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"That Monster's name was Francisco Antonio Medina… He was my biological father…" Traves says, glaring at Shoto, who looks with a shocked look on his face. "I don't remember very much about that bastard, but I know that while my Quirk is similar to his, that's just the thing. It's my Quirk, not his… Just the same as your Quirk is your own, not Endeavors…" Traves says, Shoto looking at Traves with shock, "You don't have to neglect using your flames because you don't want to be like your father, but by letting your hate and rage guide you, you're becoming just like him. Use your fire to bring your father to justice, but don't let hate and rage guide you, or you're letting him win."
"I'm…" Shoto says, "Letting… Him…" That is when his mind brings him back to a point, a day where All Might and his mother had inspired him to become who he wanted to be… A Hero who was strong like his father, as much as he hated him, but kind like his mother… That is when Shoto's breathing becomes ragged and filled with snarls, only for his left side to start melting, flames erupting from his left side. Traves looks in awe and smiles as he sees Shoto break out from his past… And then something snaps inside Traves's mind as well, and lightning erupts from his eyes as a blizzard forms around his body, lightning crackling between the snowflakes. "There is no way I'll let my father win… I want to be a Hero… For my mother's sake!"
"Yeah… I want to do the same thing…" Traves says, smiling as his eyes crackle with lightning, "I want to be a Hero, so that I can give back to the people who saved me from my darkest moments…" The two of them smile…
Meanwhile, with Setsuna and Shouji, the Lizard woman pulls back one of her hands to take something out of her picket, and prepare for the final attack as Shouji keeps trying to swat away at her pieces to get at his opponent. Suddenly the wind begins to pick up, and Setsuna is nearly blown away by it, "What the!?" Shouji shouts, "Where did this wind come from!?"
'Traves!' Setsuna thinks, but takes this momentary distraction to hit Mezo with a dart filled with tranquilizer, causing the man to stumble.
"You little…" He collapses, in which Setsuna leaves her hands to tie up the octopod before she rushes off to see what is going on. When she approaches, she begins to hear coughing as the two boys stand off against each other, Traves coughing loudly as Shoto looks at him, but despite this, Traves is smiling maniacally.
"That crazy smile on your face… You must be insane if you're willing to go this far to help me past my problems…" Shoto says, "Even if you want to win…"
"That's the thing… I've never been sane a day in my life…" Traves says, "So give me everything you've got, Todoroki…"
"Well don't regret it then…" The Icy-Hot Quirk user says, creating both intense flames and ice at the same time, whilst Traves generates a powerful blizzard as he brings his hands together, channeling his cloud into his palms as lightning erupts in the cloud. That is when Shoto unleashes a wave of ice with a jet of fire, whilst Traves unleashes a tornado shaped blizzard from his hands whilst lightning erupts from it. The two quirks clash in the center, the resulting shockwave of the heat and cold causing the building to explode from the impact…
In the Infirmary, Setsuna wakes up, "Oh there you are Deary, are you feeling alright?"
"What happened, I feel like I got hit in the head with a sledgehammer." Setsuna asks.
"Oh these two idiots…" Recovery Girl points her can over to Shoto Todoroki and Traves Medina, who both lie unconscious in their cots. "They went too far… The resulting shockwave from the rapid cooling and heating of air caused a powerful enough explosion to destroy the building you were in. You and Shouji were lucky you two got sent flying into some bushes with debris falling around you instead of on you." She then gives Setsuna some candy, "Shouji-chan is already on his way back to the others, you should head that way too!"
"Right…" Setsuna says, walking back to the viewing room.
"Ah, Young Tokage, you have returned! Now, let us get the review going! Who was the MVP in this match up?" To which Momo Yaoyorozu raises her hand, "Yes, again, Young Yaoyorozu…?"
"The MVP of this fight was Tokage Setsuna…! While it was true that the plan on how to proceed may have originally been thought up by Medina Traves, and the fact he managed to bring Todoroki Shoto to an area where he could fight him openly, as we don't know what was going on between the two, and the resulting explosion due to their clashing quirks, he wasn't thinking clearly." Momo Yaoyorozu says, "The same could be said of Todoroki Shoto, who seems to have been provoked by Medina's words into unleashing his full power. Shouji Mezo may have done well, but he let himself get distracted from his goal by the weather conditions just long enough for Tokage-san to land a finishing blow and move to reinforce Medina-san. Tokage-san is the MVP because she stuck with the plan and went to reinforce her teammate, though it appears that may have been a bad idea."
"Exactly right again!" All Might says, smiling at Yaoyorozu a bit nervously. Setsuna smiles as she was chosen as the MVP, but she looks in the direction of the stairs, worried about how Traves was, in which he and Shoto took the majority of the blast's impact. School soon ends as everyone returns to the classroom, in which Traves feels like every cell in his body is screaming in pain, whilst his lungs feel like they have been ripped to shreds, though Recovery Girl had told him that was only due to the coughing fit he was having while he was unconscious. If it weren't for the fact she used medicated water that had been vaporized and used a vaporizer for him to breathe it in, it would have gotten worse.
However, as he enters the classroom, he finds himself being embraced by somebody, "You idiot! Don't scare me like that!" Setsuna says, Traves blushing as her chest presses against his. "The two of you looked like you were about to kill each other!"
"Sorry…" Traves says, looking down at her, the young woman now realizing how tall the young man is.
'He's gotta be about 170 Centimeters!' Setsuna thinks, her senses even picking up the muscular body underneath his uniform. "Hey… Random Question… But how old are you?"
"I'm 15…" Traves says, I turned 15 about a month before school started…" That is when Katsuki Bakugo looks at Traves with a bit of shock, making this foreigner the oldest member of the class. "My Birthday is March 23rd…"
"What did you do between the time your acceptance letter came in?"
"It was pretty much a week-long vacation for me!" Traves says, "Though I still had to do homework, as I was, by American Standards, already starting High School…"
"Huh?"
"Americans…" Traves Gently lets her go, "We start our high school years at 14, and don't usually end them until 17 or 18. So I technically have half a year's more experience than you all do, but I'm not bragging!" Everyone begins to head back to the dorms, in which many others begin asking Traves about America, and he gives what information he can, and some even asking about his hometown, Kodiak, which he describes as a Fishing City that thrives on the Salmon and Crab Trade, but the majority of the island, despite the past 200 years, is still underdeveloped in order to ensure the native wildlife survives.
Other than that, Traves notices Izuku and Katsuki walking off, and excuses himself to go to the bathroom as he carefully sneaks around to find where Bakugo and Izuku are located, and he happens to hear something interesting and shocking.
"I obtained this Quirk from Somebody Else…" Izuku says, to Katsuki, who then goes on a rant/tirade mix, and Traves, though shocked, he grabs his head, hissing silently as images flash in his mind, images of what appear to be manga strips, in which Traves crouches down holding his head, keeping his voice down as best as he can, silently groaning in pain. That is when he sees himself, but not as the person he knows himself as… This one is fat, morbidly obese, but works hard at a grocery store, lives with his mother and step-father, plays videogames with his sister, brother-in-law, and niece who live in another part of the country, and he writes stories, fanfiction, and has another girlfriend, one who he meets, marries, gets himself in shape for, and improves his life to make her and their twins happy. This girl, in his mind, looks like a brunette version of Setsuna, only she is a Russian-American, instead of pure japanese, with a deviously creative mind, a fiery temper, but also a warm and loving heart. Traves silently weeps as these images form in his mind, and he wipes them away, knowing what they are. Memories… Memories of a past life in another world…
He even remembers his death, a death where he saved his wife from her ex-boyfriend who treated her poorly, making her cry and molested her. He died when that asshole, whom he knew by his DeviantArt username of Ikkaku, tried to shoot his wife and their twins, but fought him off, pulling the bastard over Pillar Mountain's cliff face, killing both of them upon impact. He remembers, he had a webcam active on his body, so if the police found it, they could probably save his wife from prosecution using that data as evidence. He only hopes she and the children are safe now… As or Traves himself… Well… He knows he has been reincarnated into the World of My Hero Academia, so he now knows what he needs to do, make sure this world follows a better path than it did in the Manga and Anime… His knowledge of the Manga only recalls things that happened in the story up to Chapter 100 of the Manga, but beyond that, he can't recall anything further than that, so he knows at least what should happen from here on out. He knows he has changed things by his mere presence here, but, hopefully, he can make things better for everyone around him. What could possibly go wrong…? He is about to whisper something under his breath, only for him to hear a footfall and sees All Might glaring at him, and he sees Izuku next to him, the Greenete whose eyes are wide with fear, whilst All Might looks down at him with both worry and anger.
"Goddammit Bubsy…"
