I hope everyone is enjoying where I'm taking things so far because now I'm showing the full strength of one of my characters.
Chapter cover- A katana planted in the ground.
Ch35- The wind tells truths
"No way!" I tell myself, there's no way we're fighting her of all people. Amallie, in her work outfit with a bunch of grunts around her.
Amallie starts to walking, thinking what to do next, Slice and Edward rush past me, Slice pulls out katana from his arms and Edward touches the ground sending a wave of fist concrete pillars but Amallie easily cuts through them like paper. Slice goes to attack but Hina steps in snapping his sword in half with her club then sending him flying back.
"OZ!" I call her over to me, I need to tell her something.
"Oz, have your supports work on finding and rescuing the civilians, and have your assault quirks work on the grunts, my class will deal Amallie and Hina." Amallie and Hina are the big threats but the grunts can back them up.
"Alright, Slice, Edward, switch your focus on the grunts. Let U. A deal with Amallie and Hina, everyone else, continue working on rescuing the victims." Oz tells her school and they follow her orders without hesitation.
"Breakers meet up, we got some villains to deal with!" My teammates surround me, "Peace, I need you roast Hina."
"On it." Peace takes flight and rains fire on Hina, "Fire Dragon Roar!" However, Amallie jumps in and takes the hit.
"I'm sorry but your road ends here," Amallie says to us still basked in flames before a strong gust of wind kills Peace's roar, black strands of hair on Amallie standing on end and are now on fire.
"So Peace did get her quirk from her mother." My fears come true as now we're not dealing just wind but fire as well. Amallie swings her sword down, creating a downward gust of wind, knocking Peace out of the air.
"Cortney, we're here!" Shoda arrives with Tetsu and Togaru.
"When we heard about the villains we rushed over here as fast as we could," Tetsu says.
"Alright, I'm not letting anyone be hurt! Devil Trigger!" With my devil trigger activated, I launch a flurry of punches at Hina, she manages to block most of my attack, but I knee her in the gut and with Tetsu's help we're able to grapple her arms and pin her down.
"Now Shoda!" Shoda uses his quirk to launch a second round of impacts from my earlier assault to hit Hina forcing her to a knee.
Togaru, Axel and Pony keep Amallie distracted, "Futen's Hammer." Amallie summons a typhoon on herself blowing us all away.
"Medic!" Hina shouts and a woman rushes to her side, I recognize it as that medic woman that healed me back in Junior High, she slaps something on Hina and it appears that the damage we just did is now gone.
"Shit, we just need to buy some more time…" I mutter to myself as I try to get up from being knocked away but my body won't move. What's going on, I turn to see Amallie and now it looks like a demon is standing behind her, no she is the demon. She's using fear trigger and scaring me stiff, it seems she's affecting everyone who's not her ally as Hina and the medic are unaffected.
"Hina, kill all everyone, including the heroes," Amallie commands, everyone is going to get slaughtered, I'm one of the only people able to match Hina in strength. I HAVE TO FIGHT!
I fight through Amallie's Fear trigger, and stand up, "You're not killing anyone, you get through me first!" I yell at Amallie and she seems to smile.
"Brave, but you can't move, let alone fight," Amallie tells me, and she's right it's taking all my power just stand. Amallie starts walking up to me, grabbing her sword and preparing to finish me off.
"NO YOU WON'T!" Oz comes charging in and saving me at last second and it seemed to cancel Amallie's fear trigger as I can move properly now, just then, an alarm then goes off, Amallie sheathes her sword, bows and before walking away.
"Congrats, all the H.U.C members have been rescued, switch back in your school clothes, and see if you passed." Hina blurts out before leaving.
Everyone has switched back into their school uniforms to see the final scores. We gathered in the arena's center and looking at a giant screen for our names to see if we passed or not.
"OK, first of all, thanks for all your hard work in the exam everyone," Mera yawned, back to his low-energy self. "Before I announce the results, I'll tell you how you were evaluated. There was a two-fold demerit system handled by the H.U.C. members and a member of the Heroes Public Safety Commission that was assigned to watch every one of you exclusively. Basically, your score is based on how little you messed up. The names of those who passed are listed on the screen in alphabetical order, so let's take a look." Once the screen flicked on and showed the 85 passing competitors.
"Woah, that's a lot of passing grades," Kendo said while looking for her own. "Hey, there I am! I passed!"
"Phew, same here," Neito said.
"Aw yeah! Ya'll can suck my lizard titties! I'm in!"
"Of course, a hero of darkness could fell this simple task."
"Right, like you weren't flipping your lid, Shihai."
"Looks like we're heroes, Sen!"
"I never doubted us for a second, Kosei."
"A splendid showing by us all."
"Oh yeah! This lizard is taking flight now!"
"What a relief. I thought I was gonna fail for a second there."
"No way, Shoda! We both did awesomely and we both passed!"
"Thank you, Lord, for this blessing."
"I'M A HERO! YEAH!"
"Dude, my parents gonna flip when she hears this!"
"Pony's a hero now!"
"My uncle is going to be so happy."
"Hell yeah!"
"Kickass! Mandiblade is licensed and ready to fight!"
"I gotta post this."
"Nice."
"Mhm."
"We all passed!" Kendo cheered. "The twenty-two of us are officially licensed!" We raise our fists up and let out a resounding "Woo-hoo!"
"Oz!" I call Ozone as walks over to us, " Do you guys pass as well?" I ask.
"Yep." Oz simply answers.
"Awesome, mine if get your number? I would love to stay in contact." I ask, and Oz pulls out her phone.
"Sure," Oz pulls out her phone and we exchange contact numbers.
The sun sets as we leave the National Bespin Sky Arena, and head back to U.A. On the ride home, I pull out my book and look through it before taking a deep breath.
"Axel." I call for his attention, "I think it's time Class A knew as well."
"I guess, it's now or never. I'll text Himi and ask her to gather everyone." Axel says before pulling out his phone, which is held in a light blue phone case.
Later that night in Class 1-A dorm
"Thank you all for coming out and listening to me," I tell Class 1-A with Tetsu, Axel, and Peace backing me up.
"What is it you want to talk about us, Cortney?" Dekuy asks, and I grip my diary tight.
"Um." I don't really know how to proceed, Tetsu puts a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Now that I think about it... what's up with you and that diary. You're always carrying it?" Kachy points out the thing I wanted to talk about.
"It's better if you see it for yourself." I put my diary on a table and slide it in the middle of them, "Go ahead and read it." They all stare at each other and they're all curious and want to look inside but at the same time don't want to.
"Cortney, are you sure?" Tenya ask me.
"Positive," I reply and Tenya is the first one to start reading, with every page he reads, his face gets more and more surprised. Everyone starts to huddle around Tenya to see what he's reading.
After they're done, they look back at me, "Cortney, how did you get this information?" Momo asks.
"Me." Thana makes herself known to them by appearing on the couch and they jump back.
"Who the hell are you!?" Kachy asks while setting off a bunch of mini-explosions in his hands.
"I'm Thanatos, Cortney's Reaper." Thana states, everyone gets ready to fight against Thana.
"Wait, she's telling the truth!" Himiko jumps in and shields Thana with her body.
"What are you doing Himiko!" Kachy asks Himiko what she's doing, protecting some stranger who just appeared in the dorm.
"Kachy, wait! I can explain." I try to diffuse the situation before things get out of hand.
"Explain!? Explain, EXPLAIN?! You lied right to our faces, you held secrets from us, you let people get hurt..." Kachy grabs me by my shirt neck, "YOU ALMOST LET US DIE, YOU CALL US YOUR FRIENDS BUT WOULD LET DIE! YOU KNEW OF THE FUTURE, YET DID NOTHING!" And he's right to be angry so I'll allow him to unleash his fury on me to at least make up for some of the things I did.
"Kacchan!" Peace stops him, "Cortney was trying her hardest to prevent things, she was always doing her best to change things, not just for herself, but for all of us."
Kirishima and Tetsu pry Bakugo off of me, while Axle helps me to my feet, "I could only influence things so much, if I changed too much we might not be here. If I told you what was going to happen, I knew you guys would rush in to save each other, a-and-" I cut myself off after imagining everyone dead and it being my fault. It's just too much for me, I shut down and curl into a ball, just start to mutter my fault repeatedly and stop interacting with everything around me.
I'm at the weakest point I've ever been in my life and everyone is watching the thoughts are so paralyzing since if I changed one thing we may have died during the USJ attack.
Pony and Peace try their hardest to snap me out of it but are having no effect it looks to be so bad that Class A might have to call for Aizawa until-
"Urk!" Pony punches me in the face.
"Dammit, Cortney!" Pony is frustrated that she's now speaking English, "I thought were the person to ignite our spirits, not the weak ass bitch I'm seeing now!"
"Pony!" Peace tries to stop insult spree before things get really bad, but it's just the thing I need.
I rise back up to my feet and straighten myself, "Thanks Pony, sorry about making you worry, I let my thoughts cloud my judgment."
"Cortney, after that I think it be best if me and Thana handle things from here." Axel proposes.
"I'd think that be good. Everyone, I'll be going now, and Tetsu."
Tetsu looks at me confused, "I want to be alone, need to think over some things. I'll explain my side tomorrow." I tell everyone before grabbing my diary and walking out with the dead of night being my only companion.
Writer- I have an announcement since I have to wait until October for the next season of My Hero, uploads will be much slower for a while, but here's what I have planned; I have two side chapters, fix the third fantasy chapter and then another two chapter after that. And I also have a side story in the works. And that's all I have for now.
