My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.27- Bad Feelings
We had been separated after Papa heard the whole story. He sent me and Momo to wait in the staff lounge and the others were taken to the conference room. I leaned back on the couch as Momo sat next to me, I hope Shinso-kun is okay. I heard the door open, and I saw it was Dad, he walked over to us and crouched next to the couch.
"The kid is fine; they used a quirk on him that gave him a bad case of vertigo." He started, I nodded. "Now what were they saying in the bullying?"
"He called me and him a villain, when I went to help Shinso up, the guy said he didn't want us teaming up," I answered he nodded.
"They were saying that she was the cause of USJ, that she was a spy. They were saying she was in the school because she had seduced a teacher… They said the boy had a villain quirk and he should just die…" Momo added, he ran a hand over his face.
"Alright thank you, now I want both of you to go have your lunch now. I need to go join the meeting." He stated, we nodded and he left us.
"Yashiro, I'm sorry you had to hear that…" Momo apologized, I shook my head.
"It's alright, hopefully, this will shut them up." I soothed, she smiled at me and I got up and extended my hand to her. "Now let's go eat, I don't know about you but I'm hungry."
"Yeah." She chimed and let me help her up.
(Aizawa's POV)
I had to give Bakugo a three-day detention, the others only fought back in defence. The main boy was expelled and his lackeys got a week suspension. What a mess… Now we had to have a meeting to discuss the rumours, I was heading to check a source. I opened the door and Midnight smiled and motioned me in.
"Mirio, can you come with me," I stated, he nodded and I led him down the hall.
"What's up Aizawa-sensei?" he quizzed.
"There was a fight during first-year cafeteria, it was based on rumours they say is travelling the school. I was wondering if you heard anything being one of the top three?" I explained.
"Yeah, there is the rumour about that new junior who appeared. They say that after she arrived USJ happened and that she must be a villain in disguise. I even heard them say that they think she is blackmailing or seducing Present Mic. Then there is the rumour that the Todoroki boy is going to get revenge for Endeavor. Then a villain boy whose quirk lets him take control of people. I mean all us third years know they aren't true. I mean that junior is you and Present Mic's daughter. And we all know that Endeavor was put away for hurting his son. The last one is just quirk bias." He rambled, I sighed this was serious. "Wait did they attack your daughter?"
"She was a victim along the boy who they say is a villain," I stated, he furrowed his brow.
"If you want, I can try to see if I can find the source of the rumours or try to dispel them?" he offered, I shook my head.
"Considering the scope, we believe us teachers will have to take this on, thanks for your help Mirio you can return to class," I stated, he nodded and head back to class.
(Yashiro's POV)
It was the end of the day I was packing up my school supplies, everyone had settled down since the incident. As I began to slip on my backpack Momo and Shoto came over. I smiled at them; they were probably still worried. Katsuki probably felt the same but god if that boy learned to show affection.
"Do you wanna get a snack before we head home?" Momo asked I smiled.
"Sure, I just want to go check on Shinso-kun first, I hope he's recovered from his vertigo," I answered, Momo smiled.
Out of the corner, I saw Iida was gone, wait he usually tried to walk to the station with me, Izuku and Uraraka. I saw both Izuku at the door looking down the hall sadly. I snuck past Momo and Shoto and Uraraka grabbed my shoulder.
"Izuku, what happened to Iida?" I asked he turned to me looking nervous.
"He said he was fine, but I don't think he is, not when…" Izuku began, I grabbed his shoulder.
"When what?" I quizzed, he looked at me surprised.
"You don't know…" he said, what did he know? What was wrong?
"Ingenium is in hospital after the hero killer Stain attacked him…" Shoto stated I turned to him.
"But that's…" I began, Iida's big brother was his world.
"Yashiro?" Uraraka said I sighed.
"We all should try to keep an eye on him, I'll talk to Dad about it tonight…" I stated, everyone nodded. "I'm gonna go check on Shinso-kun, I'll meet you all at the shoe lockers."
I turned and left the class and began to jog toward the stairs and used Nimbus to race down them. Recovery Girls office was on the first floor, hopping off Nimbus I turned down the hall. First is Shinso then I will try to help Iida. Reaching the room, I slide open the door and I saw Recovery Girl talking to Shinso.
"Back again dearie?" Recovery Girl stated I smiled as I saw Shinso sitting up.
"Came to check on Shinso, good to see you sitting up? Are you feeling better now?" I quizzed, he nodded and I smiled.
"You didn't have to worry about me you know, Recovery Girl fixed me all up," Shinso stated, I walked over and tussled his messy lavender locks.
"I can't help but worry, you fought Midoriya in the tournament didn't you, I feel bad I didn't get to see your fight. I heard you did really good! Do you plan on getting into the hero course?" I chimed, he nodded.
"Yeah, but seems I'll have to wait till next year now…" he stated.
"If you ever need help to train or anything you can come to me, Dad has a similar non-physical quirk I bet he would help too." I offered, he blushed.
"I doubt Aizawa-sensei would waste his time but thanks for the offer." He replied I grabbed his hands.
"You want to be a hero, right? My Dad only thinks it's a waste of time if you don't have potential. And I can tell you have potential; besides I can always help you train and ask him advice." I soothed, he looked at me confused. "I mean it, I want to help you if I can."
"Uh thanks…" he replied blushing I smiled at him.
"Do you need an escort home; I can take you home if you want? I bet you can join us for a snack if you have the time." I offered; he shook his head.
"N-no I'll be fine and I do have to be heading home, thanks though." He said, he seemed nervous, looking a saw small marks on his neck with redness around them.
"Well alright, be safe, here let's exchange numbers, you can text me anytime," I stated, he nodded and we switched phones, I put in my number quickly and we traded back.
"Well, I'll let you start getting ready to go, be safe," I stated and ruffled his hair and left the room.
I began to head for the shoe lockers, those marks on his neck it felt familiar. Where have I seen that before? I need to keep an eye on him too, my gut tells me something is wrong. Okay with the class they can help with Iida, and maybe Dad can help me with Shinso… Yeah, that sounds good… I felt my foot hit air and I began to fall, but I felt someone catch me.
"Yashiro are you okay?" Shoto asked as he helped me back up.
"I'm okay, sorry I was thinking and not paying attention." I apologized; his brows furrowed as I went to change my shoes.
"Yashiro, did something happen?" Momo asked as I put back my indoor shoes.
"Shinso… I just have a feeling, I feel like he needs help…" I explained, her eyes softened.
"What do you mean?" she pushed, I rubbed my chin as we stepped out to were Uraraka and Izuku were waiting.
"Izuku when you fought Shinso did you see anything on his neck, like an injury?" I questioned; he shook his head.
"No, he looked fine…" Izuku answered.
"Was he hurt?" Shoto quizzed.
"It looked like something was just about healed…" I stated, neck injury… what could cause a.. wait could it be? A suppression collar?!
"Yashiro you got all pale?" Uraraka said I took a deep breath trying to relax.
"I think I know what it was, but if so…" I trailed off; Papa would know more but that would upset him a lot. Still, I'm sure he would help Shinso.
"Yashiro please talk to us?" Momo pleaded I looked to her to see they all looked worried.
"I think he is being abused with a suppression collar…" I stated Momo cover her mouth.
"But those are only legal for use on criminals…" Izuku stated.
"It's probably some black market one then, or maybe an old one…" I explained.
"Why do you know about those?" Uraraka stated, I felt myself grow cold, that's Papa's secret.
"I can't tell you that sorry, let's just say one reason or another Papa told me about them…" I assured, they all nodded. "I'll talk to Papa about it when he gets home."
"Yashiro you don't have to put this all on yourself you know?" Momo soothed.
"I can't just do nothing now that I've seen something. I have to help, if I want to be a hero, I can't play ignorant. Ignorance nearly killed me and I am not letting anyone else go through that!" I yelled I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
"Something really bad happened to you back in your time…" Uraraka stated I nodded.
"Y-your father, h-he tried to kill you, didn't he?" Izuku stammered I nodded tears streaming down my cheeks.
I felt myself being pulled into a tight hug, soon I felt the others join in. I was being held snuggly as they all hugged me, I could hear them sniffling. They must be crying; I gripped onto Shoto's shirt as he held me to him. I don't want Shinso to die, why does no one help?! Why am I the only who sees these things!?
(Shouta' POV)
We were back in the conference room, we needed to discuss plans on how to proceed with Midoriya's training. It was me, the principal, Hizashi, All Might in the room. I needed to know what he had done or tried so far. How this whole quirk even works, to begin with. I brought in a small notebook to jot down notes and formulate a plan.
Hizashi came because he wanted to make sure I didn't go too hard on the old man. One day and he's now a friend to Hizashi. Of course, he did, Hizashi is a very forgiving an optimistic person, plus he loves to make friends. I mean he spent a month trying to make me his friend when I clearly tried to show I was not interested. Let's add stubborn to his list of traits.
"Alright, can you try to explain what your quirk is in as much detail as possible?" I questioned.
"I will do my best. My quirk is basically at the end a stockpiling quirk, it collects all the power from previous holders and that increases the strength of the user. Each time it is passed it gets stronger." He started, "I am not entirely sure how it functions, but Midoriya has inherited not only the power I did but the power I was able to accumulate in my life."
"And how do you still have the quirk?" I quizzed; his expression fell.
"More along the lines I still have the embers inside me, but I will not be able to keep it forever. In time I will use it all up and I will be left quirkless." He stated so it was residue energy…
"How were you trained?"
"My Master only really trained me by getting me into shape, once I receive the quirk after the first time and I broke some bones I was able to control it with ease. After that, she began to spar with me and her friend Gran Torino began to train me as well."
"Gran Torino?"
"Yes, he is an old hero and my Master's best friend. He is still alive, but I have not seen him in years. He actually taught here for a year, my last year here actually. He is a rather, harsh teacher, so I did not think to involve him."
"Harsh?"
"He would put you to shame Aizawa-kun."
"Well seeing at what you are telling me it seems we might have to ask for his aide. This isn't much to go on, I understand a bit more why his quirk is so out of control now…"
"You may have a point…"
"How did you describe how to activate his quirk?"
"To be honest, I knew when he needed to it would activate, I only told him to think of it like an egg in a microwave, there is time between it being fine and exploding. I wanted him to not explode that egg. One for All is the same, too much will break bones. It was the analogy my Master taught me."
"Wonders that did…"
"Shouta…" Hizashi scolded lightly.
"Have you ever had to control your power more finely?"
"I do it mostly on instinct, I know how much I need and I do it…"
"I can understand that, I feel the same with my quirk, I know instinctively how loud I can be in a fight… I assume it's for the same reason, I've used too much and learned to scale back." Hizashi added.
"That's a good connection Hizashi, I remember you told me once that you would compare your normal voice to a whisper? If it is the same with their quirk, then we may have a starting point…" I explained, Hizashi smiled nodding.
"Your quirk is always active?" All Might stated, Hizashi fidgeted.
"Yes, my voice is my quirk, like if Shouta erases it, I cannot speak…" he said, I reached to touch his hand.
"Let's end this for today, I can ask Hizashi for his side and then we can compare tomorrow. I have to begin sorting the internship offers for the class…" I said, All Might nodded and Hizashi smiled at me. One step at a time for now.
