Sorry for the wait. Recently it's been a little hectic, and I've been super tired. The Naruto chapter should be up soon, maybe tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy the new chapter!
I looked at our teacher. He was looking as enthusiastic as usual. Though, he is a very good hero. I think he enjoys his job. He rummaged through his desk. "For the foundational skill of heroics we'll study today… it was decided you'll be supervised by a three man team. Me, All Might, and someone else." A three man team? That's interesting. Maybe something weird happened during the press break-in.
"Sensei, what will we be doing?" One student asked.
"Be the hero everyone needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster. It's the trial of rescue!" He held up a card that said RESCUE in big letters on it.
"This sounds fun!" I smiled my wide, creepy smile.
"Totally!" Mina said from beside me.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves." Aizawa told us. "As I was saying, this time it's up to you whether you wear your costumes or not. Some of your costumes probably aren't adapted to the task at hand, after all. The training area is fairly far away, so we'll get there by bus. That's all, go get prepared." I did grab my costume. I went to a bathroom and pulled it on. We were all led to the bus, and we were on are way.
When we sat down I pulled out my phone, plugged in my earbuds, and shut off the outside world with music. Some habits transcend reincarnation. Hmm, what do I want to listen to today. This one is sad, but is is a very good song.
~Driving home, to be with you…~
I looked up and saw Bakugo yelling at someone. I just sat back and closed my eyes.
~The worst part was hitting the ground~
~Not the feeling, so much as the sound…~
I woke up to the bus stopping. Oh, wow that was fast.
~But nobody here can know how I feel,~
~'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel.~
I pulled my earbuds out. We were at an actually cool looking building. It just looked like one of those football stadiums I used to see a while ago. American football, that is. But once we got inside, I realized it was very different. It looked like a disaster set for a movie. Apparently someone else had the same idea.
"Amazing! Is this U.S.J. or something?" I couldn't see who it was, sadly.
"Floods wrecks, landslides, fires, etc. etc." My gaze focused on a person in a space suit. "This is a practical training area I created. To simulate all kinds of disasters and accidents, and it's name is…" They paused. "The Ultimate Space for Jams!"
"It's the Space Hero, No. 13!" Midoriya said.
"She's the gentlemanly hero who does phenomenal work with disaster relief!" Uraraka yelled, jumping into the air. Well, I guess all heroes have their quirks. I really need a better way to phrase that.
Eraserhead went over and talked to No. 13. They talked for a little bit, probably about what we were going to do. Also, about where All Might is. I wonder where he is. No. 13 spoke up so where we could hear her. "Before we begin just one thing… or two…" They kept adding fingers. "Or three… or four." They looked down at her hand. "I'm certain you're all aware, but my quirk is called black hole. No matter what material may get sucked into it's vortex, I'm afraid it will be turned dust."
"Nice," I said, nodding slightly. "I see why she is so good at rescuing."
"Yes." They told us. "It is, however, a power that could be easily used to kill people. In that way, it's no different from the different quirks of everyone here. Naturally in this society of superhumans, quirks are strictly regulated, and their requirements for their lawful use regulated. We can tell at a glance that that is the makeup of this world. That being said, please don't forget that each of you possesses a quirk that can go awry. One wrong step is all it will take to kill others accidentally. During Mr. Aizawa's physical strength test you learned of your respective power's true potential. And during All Might's trial of battle I think you took away a true sense of dangers of brandishing those powers against one another. This lesson will serve as a fresh start! Let's get to studying about how to wield our quirks for the sake of saving human life. Your quirks emphatically do not exist to hurt others. Please leave this exercise having fully understood that your quirks exist to help others. That is all! You have my gratitude for listening so intently and patiently!" They bowed, deeply.
"Nice job!" I clapped as others cheered.
"All right, first things first," Eraserhead told us, before pausing. He looked behind him. I looked behind him too. There was a black mist of some kind. It expanded out and a gray hand reached through. "Huddle together and don't move!" He yelled. The portal expanded quickly and what looked like monsters started pouring out.
"What is that?" Someone asked. "Is this like the entrance exam?"
"Don't move!" Our homeroom teacher yelled. "Those are villains!"
"Villains…" I said under my breath.
"Jasupa!" I felt an arm grab my sleeve. I turned around and saw my cousin standing there. "Are you going to be okay?"
"I'll be fine, as long as…"
"My son!" I hear someone bellow from the crowd. I turn around and see a man pushing through the crowd. He was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt that said "I Don't Suffer From Insanity, I Enjoy Every Moment Of It!" He doesn't need a costume to be known, or to scare people. Everyone who knows what he looks like is scared just by seeing his face. Right now, I'm shaking, but very little of it is from fear. "It's so good to see you!"
"Did he just call you son?" Mashiro said from behind me.
"Yes." I summoned my sword and the cloth wrapped around my wrist. "His name is Ares. He's wanted for multiple accounts of homicide, grand theft, and…" My breath shook. "Rape."
"Your father is a villain?"
"Yep, and soon he'll be a dead villain." I pulled back my arm, stepped forward, and threw my sword as hard as I could. I added some energy to it so that it'd hit hard. But he just stepped to the side. Then, in one fluid motion, he grabbed the handle and chopped off the cloth. That did not go as planned.
"Good sword!" He said, with a big smile on his face.
I summoned it back to my side. Suddenly a hand was on my shoulder. "Don't do this." My cousin told me.
"It'll kill me if I don't," I told her. I haven't felt this angry in a very long time. Though I haven't been face to face with someone like this ever before.
"He'll kill you if you try." She told me.
"But I can't just…" Then a shadow enveloped us all. The hand disappeared from my shoulder as I heard a cold voice in my ear.
"You will be scattered." It told me. "And tortured. And slain."
Then I was alone. No friends, no cousin, no teacher. Only me, and my deadbeat, criminal dad. Me, and the most dangerous person I have ever seen. In this life, at least.
I held my sword in front of me. "What do you want?"
"I just want some father-son bonding time." He smiled. "A robbery, maybe a murder. I want you to become just like me."
"Never." I spat.
He sighed. "The hard way then." A rod of light gathered by his hand and a rapier appeared. He got into a fencing stance which looked weird, as he was, well… big-boned.
Then I lunged.
Next big thing is going to happen next chapter. Originally it was going to be much later, but I decided to move it up. There's another small thing I wanted to do, and this had to happen first. Extra points if you know what song I used!
