"I have Legs." I held my head.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked as I tried not to laugh.
"I have done so much damage to my arms that I can't just keep on breaking them. And my legs are no where as damaged as my arms." He explained, "I can still use them but now I use the sturdier option.
"Exactly, you get cornered you start kicking." Hatsume said as Astero just let out a laugh.
"You had me there Midoriya." He laughed. "But what's after that? Your head?" I just rolled my eyes at this. But we all did eventually laugh at this. "Also, Uraraka? Your helmet face mask, what is it used for?" He asked.
"Oh, it's a face guard, and it helps with my motion sickness when I use my quirk on myself. Why are you asking?" She asked.
"Well I was thinking I could add some scouter functionality to it, your helmet as well Iida. Having a heads up display is a lot of help." He explained. "Finding civilians, surveying for villains, and scouting out hostage situations for the greatest threats."
I agreed with his points... but I also knew how he got these ideas. But I kept that to myself. "Yeah, that would help a lot."
I still didn't trust him, but he hadn't tried anything... at least. But so far he hadn't been as much of a issue as I thought he would. But for now I sighed and walked out as the other brainstormed ideas, Hatsume and Astero working side by side. "I'll be getting some lunch, I'll catch up later." I waved to the others and kissed Deku on the cheek.
Chapter 68: Last Day of Training
I huffed as I continuously blasted away repetitive cement walls that flowed up out of the stone floor. Cementos attacked me with more and more of them faster and faster. I thrust my hands out faster and faster, my angry orange aura getting weaker with each blast. "You are getting better." He said not even breaking sweat as the walls kept coming, soon I couldn't keep up with it and I was pushed back. "Enough. 2 minutes today." He said as I fell back, my stamina drained, and I dropped out of Harbinger. "You have been pushing your Harbinger to new heights. To have pushed your limit so far ahead of what it used to be."
I smirked as I sat down on a bench. My body was being pushed to it's limits, having multiplied base Harbinger's time limit from five seconds to two full minutes. I opened a bottle of water and took a drink as everyone else finished up their training. Then my phone went off, I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Mirko. 'Good luck on the exam, I'll be looking into taking you on for a work study, but given recent events that might be hard.'
'I understand, I can't wait to show you the results of my training.' I sent back.
Her response took a minute. 'Don't think that I have been slacking off Fuma, how are things with Deku by the way?'
'I wasn't worried about that, my power level has been rising everyday. And things are great with Deku, he has been improving by leaps and bounds. I'm proud of him.' I sent to her.
"All right everyone, that is enough, go get washed up. Fuma head to Recovery girl to heal up, have you heard about that new support item yet?" Aizawa finished up the training for the day.
"No, I haven't." I admitted as everyone else left. I quickly showered reaching back to where my tail used to be, it still stung that I had lost it a second time. After I got cleaned up I ran through the halls to the Nurse's office. I got healed up and I was surprised by how much power surged through me. This had to be my largest Zenkai yet.
"My dear, you just keep getting stronger and stronger. Tell me have you made any progress on that Super Saiyan form?" She asked.
"No, and my father didn't tell me much about how to unlock the form other then he had first unlocked it when my mother was struck down by a Frieza force soldier during the destruction of my home world." He hadn't told me really anything about the form.
"Hmmm, to me it sounds like it requires a serious emotional event to unlock it. Perhaps. But how serious is the question." The old woman shook her head. "Well for now you have your Ikari form and that Harbinger skill. Master those before you move onto this legendary form." She patted me on my shoulder as my stomach growled.
"I should get going." I gave a awkward smile and I walked out of the office.
"Take care young lady." She called after me. "You just can't keep getting hurt and relying on your Zenkais."
"If I'm lucky I won't need too." I looked back.
"Right... see you after your next training session?" She asked clearly disappointed.
"Sorry ma'am." I said meekly.
She sighed with a tired smile. "Go rest up, you have to gather your strength for the
"Okay." I smiled back at her.
"You have fine a smile, it looks more heroic then you might think." This took me aback, but I tried to not think about it, I wasn't a hero... yet. I gave her a small nod and I left.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing, and hanging out but I noticed that Astero tended to stay near Kirishima and Bakugo's group. As I ate my lunch Uraraka asked me something that caught me off guard. "You don't like Astero do you? Even though he turned to our side."
"Where are you getting that?" I asked.
"Well every time you look at him, you get this sour look. Is this something to do with Saiyan society?" Iida asked quietly.
"Not directly, we are both Low-class, but he is a traitor, to not only our people, but to his own team that he turned tail with. I know that my brother and Romne ego driven murderous genocidal psychopaths... like most elite Saiyans... but it's one of the few things you just don't do. It is a showing of cowardice." It was clear to me that this view wasn't... popular with my table. "To me, he has to rebuild his honor, do I think he can do it? I don't really care how you see him either."
"Well... I understand that, but try to give him a chance. For all you know, you two could easily end up the last of your kind." Deku said.
I closed my eyes as I sighed, "I know... I'm still not sure if my people being wiped out was a necessary evil. And I don't want to give that monster any credit." I said in reference to the Galactic emperor, But for now I had to worry about the closer threat of the Saiyans here.
"Didn't Astero mention that he had heard the Royal family survived, as well as a few bodyguards?" Todoroki asked. "Could that be a threat?"
"I wouldn't be too worried about those Saiyans, they are too far away to be a threat." I hoped that to be true. We continued to talk in hushed tones.
"You know... it's all still surreal...you are surreal." Uraraka said. "We are barely at space travel then you show up and join a high school after your world is destroyed, it's like that shouldn't be what happens."
"It's almost like it's all universal joke. Where things bent to make this happen." Todoroki said after her.
"I try not to question it. It has been fun... for the most part so far." I said, giving them a smile.
It was late at night and I stood alone in the dorm kitchen, a pan of breakfast sausages cooking on the stove. "Should... I even be here?" I asked, my tail twisting in self loathing.
"No." I nearly jumped through the roof as Fuma snuck up on me.
"You scared me." I looked at the tailless Saiyans.
"Are you really a Saiyan?" She asked mockingly.
"Heh... not really." I looked back to the food. "I don't have the same potential... strength, hell I don't even have Zenkai's. My mother always said it was due to my father, but she never explained why. But... there was always one thing that stood out when I last saw her." I said. Not really talking to Fuma.
"And what is that?" I asked.
"She called me a half-breed. But... that can't be possible... right?"
Things are going to be slowing down, I finally have a new job to work at. I'll be doing my best to keep up with the updates to the stories.
