My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.18- Yashiro's Plan
"Good Morning Sensei's!" I chimed as I entered the staff lounge with Dad and Papa.
"Came with your Dad's today?" Thirteen said, I nodded.
"Ready to battle!" Auntie Nem chimed pulling me into a hug like headlock.
"Yep! The class went to a shrine last night, it was so cool, can we go to one together sometime?" I asked she hugged me to her chest.
"Of course! Please tell me she didn't go to her first shrine in street clothes?" Auntie teased walking over to joking elbow at Papa.
"No faith at all, you wound me," Papa replied.
"I wore Papa's kimono and sandals, it was cool," I stated, Auntie elbowed Papa again.
"We're getting her a kimono and yukata before the summer festivals begin." She ordered; Papa nodded.
"So, you went to a shrine, what did you think?" Yagi asked walking over to me.
"It was so cool, Iida was so helpful explaining everything, I wanna check out more and maybe some temples too," I answered, he smiled.
"That's a grand idea." He hummed, I grinned up at the gaunt man.
"Well, I need to go set up the booth!" Papa chimed he waved dragging Dad out.
"I have to go get prepared to, I'm the host, see you down there hun." Auntie chimed sauntering out.
It didn't take long for most of the teachers to start heading off to their preparation duties. Luckily both Uncle Toshi and Nezu-sensei remained, now how to talk to them. I had a good hour before the class would start arriving. Nezu smiled and walked over to the chair area.
"Care to join me and Toshinori for a cup of tea?" Nezu asked I nodded.
"Yes please," I answered and sat next to Toshi on the couch as Nezu prepared the tea by the chair.
"Any sugar my dear?" Nezu hummed.
"No thank you," I said, he smiled.
"I will be watching you closely today, I am so curious how you will use your quirk." He informed I smiled.
"I won't disappoint then." I chirped. "Can I actually talk to you both about something?"
"To us?" Uncle Toshi repeated, I nodded.
"Of course," Nezu replied and placed the tea on the table counter.
"Something is going to happen to Todoroki-kun today," I stated, they looked at me confused. "A bit ago he came to me, he had a burn. A pretty bad one. I patched him up and took him home. Endeavor, he was, being fake, he caused it but tried to play nice. Last night at the Shrine he was super anxious, I think Endeavor has too high of expectations. Shoto won't win, he can't the way he uses his power. He limits himself, never using his fire. I think he won't use it because it's like Endeavor's… When he doesn't win it all I think Endeavor will snap and I'm worried…"
"Now what made you think he was faking?" Uncle Toshi questioned.
"I can recognize that kind of person, I was partially raised by one. Shoto was so nervous, he was shaking when I brought him home. I almost wanted to take him to my place right then. He even had a bruise that wasn't there that night the next day." I informed Uncle Toshi's eyes went dark.
"You are very observant you know that." Nezu complimented.
"I told Shoto to text me if he needed to talk. I even asked Midoriya to help me keep an eye out. I was just hoping that I could message you two if I need to. Shoto will reach out, I know he will." I pleaded, he nodded.
"Of course, I very much dislike that man, he does not behave like a proper hero. The hero community has been keeping an eye on him since his wife was hospitalized. You really thought everything out, didn't you?" Nezu agreed, I smiled big.
"You call and I will be there." Uncle Toshi assured.
"Thank you both so much!" I thanked getting up I bowed to each of them.
(Toshinori's POV)
Yashiro had run off to go join her class in getting ready for the festival. She was so determined earlier, and it hurt me to realise her past a bit more. Still, she was using her experience to help others, I was quite proud of her for that. Still, I had always seen Endeavor as someone who just stubborn. Had he really been that horrible in private?
"No need to worry now, we will end this today, right?" Nezu chimed, I turned to him smiling.
"You're right sir." I replied, "Yashiro-chan surprises me every day, she will make a great hero in her own right."
"You certainly have the right; I think I will be very impressed with her performance today. You may already have your successor, but I think she will make a good one for me." He replied I looked at him confused. "She will be someone to hold of the standards for heroes and maybe one day she can help educate a new generation."
"I think you're right," I stated, she would be a hero the world would remember, same as Midoriya-kun.
(Later)
I watched as the race began, I could see Midoriya was going to be trying his hardest, but this would be a challenge. Then I saw a golden cloud race to the front, wait was that? Yes, it was Yashiro-chan, she had a staff and was knocking over a few students who played dirty. As the zero-pointers came she avoided them with ease.
She kept just ahead of the others as she carefully stopped others while making sure others were safe. It was amazing, she was upholding her morals, remaining a hero for her competitors while also keeping pace if not more. I had seen her use this cloud before in evacuation training, it had seemed mundane before. But now I saw it as a force to be reckoned with.
"I had no idea she could do all that…" I muttered.
"Yashiro-chan spent the day after USJ training with me, she figured out her quirk worked. That cloud seems to be one of the easiest things for her to use. She trained to use her quirk to create multiple things at once." Nezu explained, I never thought she had worked so hard with her quirk.
Soon she was with the final three as they got to the minefield, she flew across and sat by the finish line. Why was she not crossing? She could easily win, and she heard the announcement. Nothing could hurt the students from here on.
"Why isn't she crossing?" I murmured.
"She probably figured out the disadvantage of first." Nezu chimed sounding very proud.
"What?" I asked confused.
"First place awards you a win but also a target for the next competition with the value of your points. She must be waiting to let a few other cross before she does. I knew she was bright, but I had not expected her to figure out the ploy so quickly." He explained, I never really saw her as a strategist. "Remember her careful planning earlier, she is observant. A good quality for a hero."
Soon the first three passed and I smiled as I saw Midoriya had gotten himself into first. He was really going all out, I was proud. Just as predicted by Nezu Yashiro crossed immediately after the trio did. Midoriya had unknowingly put a target on his back, how would he fare. I hope the next event allowed him to strategize as well.
(Yashiro's POV)
We started the team picking, as I guessed there was a trap with first place. I needed to think about who to team up with, even though I choose to avoid first place. I saw Izuku had gathered Uraraka and Tokoyami. Racing over to them I clapped Midoriya's shoulder.
"I'm with you guys!" I chimed, he turned to me smiling.
"Really?!" Izuku chimed, I nodded.
"I bet you got a good plan, and I can help," I affirmed.
"Well, Uraraka can lighten us so we can move faster. Then Tokoyami can use dark shadow for long-distance defence. You can make us some weapons or shields or…" he rambled, I chuckled.
"I can make you one better, Uraraka make everyone light and both you and Tokoyami put a foot on mine. With that, I can carry us around with Nimbus." I suggested, they look confused. "I'm stronger than I look, see!"
I picked up Izuku and Uraraka lifting them up in a bear hug. Setting them down, Tokoyami nodded as Uraraka cheered in excitement. Turning to Izuku I saw muttering out his plan in almost incomprehensible tone. I gently tousled his hair bringing him out of his daze and smiled at him.
"We got this." I soothed, he nodded.
(Later)
We managed to keep our original points, Iida rushed us and Shoto used his ice to rise up. But I learned that I somehow managed to create Nimbus with the bit of sentience he had in canon. As he rose up at us, I was able to dodge out of the way which let Tokoyami stop his advance. I was proud of their team, they worked together so well.
I quickly rode us down and we dismounted Uraraka removing her quirk from the others. Even with her quirk, I had to keep a tight hold on the others to keep them on Nimbus. I needed as little of their weight on the cloud. I began to roll my aching shoulders and stretch, hope Dad and Papa are proud.
"That was amazing Yashiro!" Uraraka beamed I smiled at her.
"Are you hurt? Did we put too much weight on you?" Tokoyami asked I smirked.
"I'm okay, just stiff, besides gotta go Plus Ultra right?" I answered he nodded.
"How did you move Nimbus so fast; it was like an instant when Todoroki-kun launched up?" Izuku quizzed stars in his eyes.
"I barely need to think about him; besides I create things how they are. Nimbus is technically sentient, he moved on his own." I informed, he pulled out his scribbler writing furiously.
"So, it's like Dark Shadow?" Tokoyami stated.
"A bit, he's from a show I watched as a kid since I create things how they are from the show he seemed to retain sentience. Nimbus will even catch me if I jump." I explained, he nodded.
"What show is he from?" Uraraka asked curiously.
"Dragon Ball, he is a cloud taken from the realm of gods, he only let's those of pure hearts ride him. To be safe I took the brunt of the weight." I answered.
"Pure of heart?" Uraraka repeated.
"Yep, he can be picky in the show but if you hold onto the pure of heart person, he lets you on." I hummed.
"Can I try to sit on him?" Midoriya asked the other two nodded.
"Sure, Flying Nimbus!" I called and they all took turns to sit on him, they all sat with ease. "Seems he likes you, I bet Mineta would be dropped in a second though."
"Ah, that is what you meant…" Tokoyami hummed as Uraraka cuddled Nimbus.
"I knew you'd catch on Tokoyami." I chimed; he smirked a bit.
"Alright time to break for lunch!" Auntie Nemuri called to us.
"Hai!" Everyone cheered back.
(Midoriya's POV)
I watched at Shoto walked off, my heart had sunk at what he had told me. Quickly I pulled out my phone and texted Yashiro who replied in an instant. Would we really be able to save Shoto ourselves? Maybe I should go talk to All Might about this?
"You look upset my boy?" All Might said I turned to see him by the stairwell.
"I'm here!" Yashiro cheered racing over to me. "What did Shoto say?"
"Todoroki-kun talked to you?" All Might added Yashiro sighed.
"You're overthinking again, you just tell us, I promise I got all this sorted out, this ends today." Yashiro hushed, so she had told All Might already.
"He said his father trained him to solely defeat All Might, basically he forced Shoto mother to marry him to hopefully combine quirks in one of their kids…" I explained Yashiro head was down her fits clenched.
"Leave the rest to me," Yashiro stated her voice cold before she raced off.
"Yashiro-chan!" All Might called as she rode Nimbus off.
"She hasn't been this mad since USJ…" I muttered; All Might looked to me.
"I will talk to Nezu so that he keeps an eye on the camera's…" All Might stated and patted my head. "The battle order will come soon, go to your section my boy."
"What about Yashiro and Todoroki-kun?" I pleaded, he smiled at me.
"Leave that to me, my boy." All Might soothed transforming and racing off.
"Be safe…" I stated I feel so powerless.
