Chapter 1
Moving through the streets of an unnamed area, tall buildings surrounded a young boy.
Rows, upon rows of them, and he was the only one there.
No cars full of people, streets cleared of any civilians and Heroes alike.
The young man in question is of average height, for a thirteen to fourteen year old boy. Possessing a slim narrow build, and a pale skin tone, with prominent cheekbones matched with an innocent looking face, and distinctive light golden eyes that glowed ever so slightly as he used his Quirk.
His hair is predominantly chestnut-brown colour with shades of blue weaved in through his bangs, which came to just above the eyes, and swept to the right with a few bangs falling onto his brow, his hair being long enough at the back to reach the nape of his neck.
Around his neck, was a distinct looking necklace that was obscured thanks to the uniform that he was wearing. Though, the necklace itself had three separate things attached to it, each being vastly different to the others, giving it a unique feel.
The young man's name is Keita.
His golden eyes shot across the different areas, left and right, while he walked down the empty city streets.
"Creepy...alright, final part...just finished the rescue, and the human fighters, now its time for the last part..."
Keita thought to himself, the desolation of the area was enough to give anyone pause.
However, he then heard a noise coming from the right, and saw a robot around the size of a car shooting for him across the street. Its legs appeared to have wheels attached, giving it a boost in speed, so Keita placed his hand downwards.
"So this is it...alright, lets do it."
Slamming it against the floor, moments later, the earth erupted from beneath the robot into one giant spike, ripping right through it without issue.
Just then, another robot came shooting from up above, this time it appeared to be shooting at him with what looked like real guns, Keita took in a deep breath, and twisted his hand on the ground, causing the earth around him to form a giant wall, blocking off the bullet attacks.
"Hah!"
Without giving it a chance to get close, Keita erected another spike from the ground, catching the robot mid air as it fell down towards him, and destroyed it.
But, within its body, contained an explosive of some sort, Keita noticed it, and cringed, shooting his own body down the road before the explosion could fully go off as fast as his legs could carry him.
With the sound of it echoing behind him, Keita saved himself from being exposed to it, running to an intersection, Keita noticing that coming from down the different roads, laid three giant robots, that almost looked like tanks, all of them armed with what looked like large boulder like spheres.
Directly in front of him, Keita saw one of them firing it giant sphere, so he placed his hand on the ground, and created a giant wall, blocking off the sphere, albeit causing the wall to become broken in parts of it, but managed to protect him.
The others came in from the left and right hand sides respectably, so Keita quickly thinking, caused the entire platform that the left hand robot was standing on to rise high into the air, coming half way up the skyscraper level.
"Okay...robots, I can handle them...remember the training...take them out fast, and efficiently..."
Keita caused the area he stood on to shoot into the sky as well, then getting level with the robot, leapt across to its platform, and placed his hand on it, causing the robot to malfunction, and caused it to stop firing at him.
He then placed his hand on the metal sphere, rearranging it to produce spikes out of it, and then Keita operated the mechanism for it to fire, aiming it at the right hand side robot, and shot it as hard as it could, piercing right through the metal, and breaking it apart.
"All that's left is..."
No sooner than he said it, a hailstorm of bullets came from the first robot he defended against, so he ducked and placed his hands over his head, as the bullets shot above him. Hitting the metal over and over of the robot he had defeated, the sound reverberated within Keita's ears.
He took a look, and saw that the robot had revealed the hidden machine gun from a compartment in its body that wasn't in either of the other two robots as far as Keita could tell, seeing this as a curve ball that was thrown in to mix things up.
Taking in deep breaths, Keita could feel his heart racing while attempting to calm himself.
"...Its okay...I can do this...I can do it...alright, lets do this..."
Keita told himself within his mind, the sound of bullets hitting metal caused him to wince, causing a memory to surface briefly in his mind that gave him moments pause.
Watching on, was a indigo coloured haired, with pink streaks running through said hair, young woman, who held concern on her face along with another young man who had red wings shooting out of his back and blonde hair that was messily swept back.
The young woman in question turned towards one of the members watching, the President as he was known by, and began to speak up.
"He's already done enough, he's proven he's able to handle himself."
"Not yet, he's still got one robot left."
"Which were designed to challenge Pro Heroes, stronger than those in the schools."
"Indeed they are, and they are proving their moneys worth."
"But he's a child-"
"So where you, so watch what he can do." The President cut her off, causing the young woman to hold an antagonizing face as a result. "He is a marvelous fighter already, so adaptive, smart, and his reaction speed is top notch. Passing the rescue portion of the exam, the written exam with what to do in scenarios, and now seeing the practical is giving me great courage in his ability. Have faith in his power."
The young woman watched the President for a moment with narrowing brows, turning back to seeing Keita beginning to stand up with the bullets still firing.
"Keita-kun..."
She murmured, and watched as he placed his hand on the broken down robot, causing it to reform around him like a shield.
The bullets bounced off of the make shift armour he had made, and then he gave himself the ability to see the firing robot by opening the armour up enough.
Locking eyes onto it, Keita pushed his hand deep onto the ground, and caused it to shift.
"Have this."
Travelling from his location to where the robot was took a few moments across the ground by extending his powers range.
When it finally reached, the earth erupted a giant spear of concrete, ripping through the robots body and ending its existence all together.
"Done..."
Keita exhaled deeply, and then heard the buzzer for the session to end, which relieved him.
A little time later, Keita walked towards the same area the woman and the others were, when locking eyes onto the woman, his smile turned shy, approaching her with his hands in front of him earnestly.
"Nagant-chan, were you watching? I did my best...I hope it was enough."
Lady Nagant, the young woman in front him, began shaking her head, and patted his head, as he began to have his face turn slightly red.
"You did amazing. Agile, fast, strong, and very tactical. I am very proud."
Keita smiled happily towards her, as Hawks, the red winged man beside her, gave a hearty smile.
"Damn, I can't have you upstaging me Keita-kun, and you're younger than I was when I did this test. Though gotta say, you've improved a good deal since when you first came here. Plus, you can be quite destructive with your power haha~"
"I'm glad that I could improve, Hawks-kun. One day, I'll even surpass you!"
"Haha, I can't wait to see it. Then maybe, I can take it easy~" Hawks beamed a smile, noticing the President approaching them. "Either way, looks like he did great, wouldn't you say so, President?"
"Indeed." The President extended his hand to Keita, who took it, and shook it. "Congratulations young man, you're ready to go on real missions with the others in more combat orientated scenarios. One step closer to becoming an outstanding Hero. Though officially we cannot give you your license as of yet, you've shown to us outstanding marks in all aspects of Hero duty. Your speed, strength, your ability to adapt, and react, along with how you're able to save people in quick succession and also keeping them calm in dangerous situations which is essential for rescue missions. All in all, you have passed every exam we have given you, and we have deemed you worthy of taking this next step."
Keita bowed his head respectfully towards the President.
"Thank you for the kind words, President. So, I can help Hawks-kun and Nagant-chan now?"
"Yes, you most certainly can."
Keita turned to Lady Nagant, and gave a soothing smile.
"I can't wait to work with you Lady Nagant-chan. Lets do our best."
"I can't wait to work with you either, Keita-kun."
Lady Nagant smiled softly, and pats his head once more in a kind manner.
Hawks gave a smirk, and jabbed the boys face jokingly with his fingers.
"Don't be thinking these will be dates with the lovely Lady Nagant. I'll be tagging along too."
"H-Hawks-kun!" Keita became flustered, Lady Nagant found it to be quite cute. "S-She and I...s-she is right there...please don't embarrass me..."
Hawks laughed to himself, while Lady Nagant gave a slight amused look.
However, the President then spoke up with words that Lady Nagant didn't like.
"It seems to me that you're eager, which I'm glad to see, because we already have an assignment for you."
"An assignment?" Lady Nagant said with hesitance. "What are you going to have him do?"
"Something only he could do, as a school boy. We've been having reports of children and young adults being attacked lately in a certain area of Japan which have so far evaded police and Heroes alike. I'd like for you to go undercover, and see if we can flush out this criminal. We believe there may be connections to the school, so we'd like to see if you could, flush them out, so to speak. Even if there is no connection, since it is around that area, and if you show yourself to be a viable target in a natural way, then the chances of them appearing would be-"
Lady Nagant shook her head.
"I reject it. Its his first mission, he can't go on his own. Its better if he went with me, or Hawks at the very least. Making him a target? No, he can't-"
The President sighed.
"I thought you might have objections, but you yourself said that he passed the exams with flying colours and in record time. Even younger than you and Hawks did back when you both took it. Now, we don't have to argue about this Lady Nagant, this boy is very talented, and strong-"
"He is still too young, he couldn't possibly go to a dangerous place...I shall go in his stead, if this person is after young people, then I can weed out the enemy, and take them down."
"I appreciate your concern, but this isn't a situation were you would be the best one to send, he is. This is a task only he can accomplish given he currently isn't a Hero, and is an unknown in this world without a known background, he can be pretty much anything or anyone, with any backstory we can give him to help him blend in and lure out this tricky Villain." Lady Nagant scowled, Hawks looked uncomfortable, while Keita looked towards Lady Nagant. "Keita-kun, you want to protect people, right? Then you'll take this mission, wont you?"
Keita didn't answer the President, and instead kept his eyes on Lady Nagant, seeing her sad eyes, so he took her hand and held it gently.
"Keita-kun..."
"I know you're worried...and I am too, as I haven't interacted with that many people before...but I'm...I also want to help people, like you and Hawks-kun do. If there is someone out there...targeting innocent people, and no one else can do anything, then I will do my best."
Keita said it directly towards Lady Nagant, not giving the President anything, having chosen to believe in what Lady Nagant's decisions would be, feeling that out of everyone, she was someone that would know what to do, and how best to do situations.
Lady Nagant took in a deep breath, then gives a single nod.
"I wont ever be far away, contact me immediately if you find this person. Keep aware of your surroundings, don't let your guard down for even a moment."
"Yes, understood."
"If it is dangerous and you feel as if you aren't going to win, then you know how to escape, don't you?"
"I do, you taught me well Nagant-chan. Both you and Hawks-kun. I remember the procedures for many situations, shall I repeat them to you? So you know that I know."
Lady Nagant gave a semi amused face.
"That wont be necessary, I have every confidence in you to be able to follow procedures for many types of situations. Still be very careful, I know you've got a strong power and you're very smart, but even then..."
"A Quirk isn't everything, its how you fight, and how your opponent is able to fight. Using your wits, as well as your strengths, exploiting the enemies weaknesses, isn't that right Nagant-chan?"
"Exactly."
Lady Nagant didn't like this, and though she had reservations, she could see the President was someone that wouldn't back down, knowing exactly the type of person that he truly was, and it caused her much irritation.
The President looked satisfied.
"Good, now with that out of the way, its time for you to get ready for school as tomorrow, the mission begins. Details shall be given soon about what is necessary."
"Also, erm...my name..."
"Its fine to use your first name, there are many Keita's in this world."
Lady Nagant furrowed her brows, while Keita thought about it, but nods at the same time.
"Understood." Keita bowed his head, then tilted said head to the side. "School...I will be going to school..." Keita turned his head away, and smiled softly. "Going to school...I haven't ever been before, I wonder what it will be like…? There will be other kids my age there...I wonder what to talk about...I will do my best to find information...yes, first steps should be gathering as much info as possible..."
Seeing him rattle things off, Lady Nagant knew this was a big deal, knowing that he has had very little interactions over his life with many people, especially people his own age, so she adopted a kind smile, and went to pat his head...when she envisioned her hand covered in blood.
For a moment, she looked sick and retracted her hand, something both Keita and Hawks noted.
But it was Keita who pulled closer, and gave serene eyes.
"Lady Nagant-chan, I'll do my best."
"Yes, do your best."
Keita nods, and begins walking off, but glances back, and holds a worried look for Lady Nagant, while Hawks folded his arms, and exhaled.
The next day, within a school in the heart of Japan, a class full of students talked, among other things. One student in particular was sat by himself, keeping his head down for the most part, and looked around with a sheepish expression, while running his hands through his green hair.
Another was a young girl with a mean look on her face, her spiky blonde hair reaching down to the nape of her neck, looking bored as she could hear students saying things like "I can't believe we have a transfer this late in the year." and "Yeah, I heard its a cute boy." while the girl rolled her eyes, seemingly not caring about it.
Soon enough, the students settled down when the teacher came into the room.
"Alright class, we have a new student beginning today. Please make him feel welcome, he's new to the area, and doesn't know anyone." The door opened, and the teacher waved the boy inside. "Everyone, this young man is called Keita. Keita-kun please introduce yourself."
Keita walked to the front of the class, and looked out over the different sea of students.
When catching the young man's eyes, the young girl let out a small surprised breath. Running her eyes up and down the young man, seeing his gentle facial features, his hands in front of his stomach area resting naturally, his school uniform being pristine, and eyes giving off an innocent kind demeanour.
"Hello everyone, my name is Keita, its a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can get along."
He said in a cheery yet shy voice, the young girl watched with half closed eyes, as the class all welcomed him, including the shy looking green haired boy, and then the teacher directed Keita towards his seat.
Walking over, Keita made it to his seat, which happened to be next to the blonde haired girl.
When he glanced towards here, he was briefly stopped, and looked on with slight perplexed eyes.
"Her hair...it seems..."
As he thought about it, he noticed the others in the class began looking towards him, so he offered kind hand waves towards them.
She gave him a passing glance, while he sat down elegantly, putting his hands together on his desk, and faced the front of the class, but did offer a small smile towards the blonde haired girl, who in turn gave a bewildered look for a split second, before returning her eyes to the front of the class.
The class began as normal, and the usual stuff the teacher spoke about, was mostly ignored by the blonde haired girl, who in turn simply kept taking glances at Keita.
"Something about him, his face..."
She couldn't place her finger on it, and dismissed it for the time being.
However, she was suddenly brought back to him once more as he poked her shoulder.
"What?"
She hissed, Keita took it in stride, and continued to smile.
"Could we share your book please? I wont be getting mine until tomorrow."
The young girl flexed her eyes for a few moments, sighing, and pulling her seat closer to his own.
"Whatever. Here."
"Thank you….erm, sorry, what's your name?"
"Katsuki Bakugo."
"Bakugo-san, that's a nice name. Please feel free to call me Keita."
Katsuki didn't say anything, while Keita looked a little curious at her, and turned his eyes to the book. She didn't, and kept glancing towards him curiously.
When the morning class finished, Keita was approached by several students, who began asking him questions which he did his best to answer, all the while Katsuki looked irritated with all of those around.
"So, where did you live before here?"
"Ooh, you're cute, do you have a girlfriend?"
"I bet you love All Might, right? Or you an Endeavour fan?"
"What about the female Heroes? Mirko is really cool!"
"So is Lady Nagant, she is my favourite~"
"Ooh, what about Best Jeanist?!"
"So who do you like Keita-kun?"
"Do you like anyone in the class?"
"Hey, I'm single Keita-kun~"
"Awww, he's so adorable!"
With each passing minute, the more questions that became personal, Keita didn't know exactly how to answer, and Katsuki also noticed he didn't look the most comfortable, so she snapped at them.
"Get lost extras!"
The class gasped, even the green haired boy looked astonished.
"Did you just call us extras?!"
"There goes Bakugo again with her anger!"
"How can she call us extras?!"
While the class complained, Katsuki gave them a growl, and lifted up her hand, where mini explosions began to go off, astonishing Keita.
"You idiots can't see all these questions are too personal?! Now get lost you morons!"
They all grumbled, but not wanting to mess with Katsuki, they did begin walking away.
Keita turned his appreciative eyes towards Katsuki.
"Extras, huh? Like in background extras?"
"Yeah. Asking so many damn questions, as if they haven't ever seen someone new before, pisses me off."
Keita slowly nods his head, as he noticed the green haired boy looking over towards them, and then his eyes shifted back to Katsuki.
"Who is he? He seems to be staring at you a lot."
"Ugh...That's Deku, you can ignore him. He's the biggest extra in the class, and my own personal annoyance."
Keita slowly nods his head, glancing at Deku once more, attempting to wave, but saw that he kept his head down for the most part, trying to stay out of the limelight as it were.
Shaking her head, Katsuki continued on.
"Anyway, so you moved here recently huh?"
Keita turned fully towards the young girl, and gives a strong nod.
"Ooh...well, yes that's right. I was home schooled, until lately. I wished to see what it was like to be in school with other kids my age, and after a bit of convincing from my legal guardians, I was able to attend. Its really fun to get to know people isn't it?"
Katsuki shrugged, as she thought "He seems to be..." as Keita gave a soft smile.
"I guess so. So, got a Quirk?"
"I do. I saw yours. Explosions, right?"
Katsuki raised an eyebrow, then explained.
"Yeah, I sweat a substance that can create explosions. From my hands. Able to use them for a few different things."
"Really? So, the more you sweat, the stronger your explosions become, right? So, fights going on longer, would be actually beneficial to you, wouldn't they?"
Katsuki showed a smirk, Deku looked over, and thought "Kacchan is smirking? She seems happy, she never does that..." and was surprised to see since Katsuki didn't usually show that, and he wondered what Keita was like to have Katsuki do that.
"Damn straight, its dangerous to fight me for long. So, what's yours?"
Keita hesitated in saying, but then recalled what the President said, and how he should try his best to blend in along with being noticed in a natural way, but not reveal the full details of his power, so Keita nods, and begins explaining an aspect of his power, but not fully.
"Erm...hmmm, let me show you." Keita took out a pencil, and Katsuki watched as it became deformed, and went from pencil shape, to being the shape of a fork. "Basically, my Quirk allows me to reshape anything I touch. So, gotta be careful on what I touch and how I use my power~"
Katsuki looked impressed.
"Anything?"
"Whatever I can touch yes."
He replied with a kind smile, causing Katsuki to chuckle.
"At last, a decent power in this class. Everyone has nothing compared to that. It really is annoying when hearing their nonsense."
"I see. It seems you have a strong power, creating explosions like that, you'd be able to fight at any distance if you could focus it. Maybe like, you could throw your sweat, and then detonate it remotely? That would be a good way of fighting at a distance."
"Already thinking up ideas about my Quirks huh? Into that sort of thing?"
"Well, I do like seeing various Quirks on display, and how they can come together." Keita happily said. "And I really do like the sound of your Quirk, Bakugo-san. I actually was worried, I'd not be able to talk to anyone, but I am glad we can talk~"
Keita did his best to sound as natural as possible, something that seemed to be working as Katsuki spoke up.
"Because you were home schooled?"
"Yes, that's right. Its my real first time doing things like this, so can I ask you take care of me a little while longer?"
When he said it with a friendly smile, Katsuki looked taken aback, and turned her head away from him, only muttering "Whatever, its fine." causing Keita to nod strongly, glad that he was able to find someone that he could speak with.
The boy Katsuki called Deku looked over, and was astounded how Katsuki had taken to Keita, knowing that she rarely ever spoke to anyone, and yet she was speaking to Keita rather openly, and easily, making him wonder how Keita was able to do that, and more importantly, why Katsuki would even do that, assuming to himself something about Keita intrigued Katsuki.
When the day was over, Keita headed back to the facility that housed those from the Safety Commission, and walked through its halls, were he came across Lady Nagant. His face curled upwards, and he walked very elegantly towards her, his hands out on his stomach, and together, his eyes looking towards her own.
"Nagant-chan, first day of school, a success."
"No problems?"
"No...I don't think so. Everything is going pretty smoothly so far."
"So tell me, meet anyone interesting?"
"I met some friendly people, and this girl, from what I could gather she was very strong, at least had the strongest Quirk in the class, and she was a bit funny too...oh yes, no signs of anyone trying to attack any students. But, since they go for strong people from the reports we received, I should stick with this girl, right? In case she's targeted?"
As he spoke, Lady Nagant gave a happy smile, glad to see that Keita had enjoyed himself.
"That might be a good idea. Though you are on a mission, its good that you're able to get out and interact with others your age. Its nice to explore once in a while, right?"
When hearing that, Keita adopted a semi shy look, and poked his fingers together.
"Well, we could...always go out together, Nagant-chan...I mean...if you wanted, and are free..."
As he said it, seeing his earnest and endearing nature, Lady Nagant almost melted at how cute he was being in her eyes.
But that was soon interrupted when another person made themselves known.
"Aah, I see. So, you and Lady Nagant huh Keita-kun? You are becoming even closer, aren't you? Asking her out on a date? I knew it~"
"Aah!" Keita exclaimed, turning around to see a smirking Hawks, while a bemused Lady Nagant looked on. "H-Hawks-kun! You know you should use that speed to not eavesdrop!"
"Ooh, was I eavesdropping on something important?"
Keita turned his flustered face to Lady Nagant, who continued to smile brightly, making him smile right back.
Lady Nagant walked closer to Keita, and took his hand in her own.
"I would love to go out with you Keita-kun. Lets go and get something to eat. You've wanted to try traditional Japanese food, haven't you?"
Keita's face brightens up, and he shows an enthusiastic smile.
"Ooh, yes! I have made some before, but some I haven't, and would love to try new ones..."
"Then lets get going, Keita-kun."
Keita nods while becoming even more flustered, as they walked together down the corridor.
Hawks looks on, as Keita turns around, and waves him over.
"Hawks-kun, you're more than welcome to come, if you want to."
"Ah, I'm not butting into your date?"
Hawks teased.
Keita shakes his head, his cheeks bright red.
"Its fine since its you Hawks-kun. A-And this isn't a date...w-we are only going out together, that's all."
"Well then, I'll join you." Hawks got to the side of them. "So, Japanese food huh. Should be good."
Lady Nagant nods, as they all continue down the corridor together.
"By the way, Keita-kun. I wouldn't ask, but after this dinner, can you use your Quirk to blend a powerful sedative with my hair? For my bullets. Since the target I've got has a Quirk giving him enhanced strength, including how durable it can be to certain sedatives, and also could be more durable to my bullets as well. So, I have to take them down as fast as possible."
"Sure, I can do that, it shouldn't take me all that long to combine them together. So, you've got a mission Nagant-chan?"
"A capture one yes, its easier to knock them out with a sedative bullet of your creation."
"Leave it with me Nagant-chan, I'll do my best. But please be careful."
Lady Nagant gently smiled, while Hawks lowered his head ever so slightly.
"Of course, I'll be perfectly safe."
Keita could tell something was off, by the way both of them looked, but also knew they did their best, so he wished to do his best for them as well, and support them, as they have been supporting him as well.
The next day, Keita was beginning to walk into the school, when he heard from the side a loud noise that sounded like a cry for help.
His eyes went over, and saw the same green haired kid as yesterday the one called Deku, being ganged up on people Keita didn't know who they were, they looked to be as if they were high school age to Keita's eyes, while he and Deku were both in middle school.
They began forcing him towards an alleyway, so Keita began running over.
"C'mon kid, hand it over! Give me your money!"
"B-But I need it for lunch...a-and for other things..."
"Tch, you really are annoying."
Keita picked up his speed.
"Kid give it over! Right now!"
As one of the bullies said it, another one tried to reach for the book that Deku was holding, so Keita crossed the distance in a moments notice, and grabbed the boys hand, twisting it and caused the bully to fall to bended knee.
"Stop."
Keita expressed, shocking the three bullies of Deku.
As he did, Katsuki happened to come towards the school gates, and saw what Keita was doing off to the side of the school, deciding to watch from a little distance while approaching, seeing what he could actually do.
"W-What the hell?!"
"Get off him!"
One of the bullies tried to rush Keita, and swung out a fist that was coated with some metal, apparently the boys Quirk, but Keita reacted with incredible speed, impressing Deku, as Keita nailed his foot into the bullies torso at a rapid speed, sending the bully briefly flying into the air, and then onto the ground with a thud sound, all the while still detaining the first bully with a single hand, showing impressive physical strength.
"H-How did you do that so fast?!"
The detained bully yelled out, as he opened up his mouth, which appeared to have some kind of rock there, and fired it at Keita like a bullet.
But with his quick reflexes, Keita grabbed the rock, and used his Quirk, causing it to break all around his hand with line patterns generating from his fingertips were momentarily seen across the stone.
"Y...You crushed it!?"
"I broke it apart."
Keita responded quietly, noticing the third bully sneaking around him.
"Bastard!"
Another one tried to get behind Keita and produced a wooden sword from his hand, so he ducked a sword swing, and then slid backwards, while swinging his leg low, tripping up the attacking student and then once standing upright behind the bully, Keita used his hand to guide him from pushing his back in one fluid motion, sending him flying into the first bully Keita detained with the momentum of Keita's moving body.
Having put all three of them on the floor, Katsuki looked on with an impressed face, as was Deku.
"Leave, right now. Also, I'll be reporting this, I can see what school you're from thanks to your school symbol on your blazers, and I have good images of your faces as well." Keita said, revealing his phone, to the detriment of the three bullies. "You're all high schoolers, right? He's in middle school, its really sad to see someone older picking on someone younger, and trying to steal his money."
The bullies looked towards Keita, and saw his no nonsense stare.
Then they looked to Deku, and then began sweating when seeing Keita's eyes on them, so they stood up rather quickly, and took off running.
Katsuki murmured "Weaklings." to herself, while still being impressed with the sharp reflexes that Keita had.
Deku looked beyond surprised, as Keita came over, and checked on the young man.
"Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
"A...Ah, n-no, I'm fine." The boy said, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't...mean to get you involved..."
"Oh, you didn't. I got myself involved."
Keita said it with a smile, catching Izuku off guard for a moment, and then Izuku bows his head.
"E-Even then, I'm sorry, but...t-thank you, you really stood up for me..."
"Is it weird that I did?" Deku thought about that, as Keita stuck out his hand. "Nice to officially meet you, we're in the same class, aren't we? My names Keita, whats yours?"
"I...Izuku Midoriya, its really...nice to meet you...Keita-san."
Keita gives a soft smile, noticing on Izuku's bag, there was an All Might chain attached to it.
"A fan of Mr Muscles I see?"
"M-Mr Muscles?"
Katsuki gave an amused smirk when hearing what Keita called All Might, while Izuku was bewildered.
Keita gave a slightly embarrassed face, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Y-Yeah...haha, I used to call him that before I learned his name~ Yes, I meant All Might."
"I love him!" Izuku suddenly perked up, bewildering Keita. "I-I mean, he's really so cool! So strong! And he's really amazing! Have you seen him fight various Villains?! Like Toxic Chainsaw, and others?! I watched how he saved a kid from a lake of vinegar the other day online, that was so cool! Though his eyes stung, he still did it with a bright smile!"
"Wow, you are a...erm, ooh yes, you're a fanboy, right?" Izuku gave a sheepish nod, as Keita put his hands together, and beamed. "I also do find a good few Heroes to be amazing. Like, Lady Nagant-san, Mirko-san, and Hawks-san too!"
"Ooh, they are good choices~ How do you feel about Endeavour?"
"Well, he seems to be angry all of the time, it looks like if he smiled, then it would be the end of the world." Izuku laughed while Katsuki snorted, making her way over to them. "But, I do appreciate how hard he works. Even if he's not Number One, I have heard he has solved many cases before. Though, maybe I'd not want to anger him, least of all he'd send a huge wave of fire at me."
"Y-Yes, that would be scary huh. But he does work hard."
As Izuku said it, Keita noticed Katsuki and waved.
"What about you Bakugo-san? Do you like All Might?"
"Don't you mean Mr Muscles?" Katsuki said with amusement, Keita nods strongly with a soft smile. "He is my favourite Hero yeah. Strong, and always ready to throw down." Katsuki confirmed. "Keita, you like All Might?"
"Eeh, yeah, I like him too~"
"Heh, I want to surpass All Might, and become the Number One Hero!"
"Ooh you too?"
Keita asked, Katsuki blinking rapidly.
"You too? Heh, I see. Looks like some competition."
"Yes, looks like it. Guess that makes us rivals, right?" Keita lightly joked, and then turned to Izuku. "Since you admire All Might, do you also want to become the Number One?"
Izuku looked on shyly, and tried to answer, when Katsuki shook her head.
"Its impossible for the nerd."
"Huh? Why?"
Keita wondered, not understanding.
So Katsuki explained.
"He has no Quirk, he can't become a Hero. So Number One, much less a Hero, it ain't gonna happen."
Keita paused when she said that, and turned to Izuku, seeing the young man keeping his head down.
Understanding something, Keita clears his throat.
"But, you can't become a Hero at all without a Quirk? That doesn't sound right to me." Izuku looked surprised, as Keita offered him a smile. "Who is to say what you can and can't do? You're at a disadvantage without a Quirk sure, but there's ways around it, like gadgets and stuff. Build your body up, get a cool car maybe that can fire things from them like tear gas or something. Like...erm, the Izuku mobile or something~"
"Doing that, you think...I could become a Hero?"
"I don't know." Keita answered truthfully, as Izuku bowed his head. "But, neither do you, until you try." Izuku lifted his head back up, and met with Keita's kind gaze. "But whatever you do, I hope you don't get hurt doing it. Also...saving one persons life, can have a profound effect on that person. If you can manage to do that, then you are a Hero to that person for life. Maybe not the Number One Hero, but still, to that person, you would be more important to them than any title that could be bestowed onto anyone else."
Izuku was taken aback, but at the same time really enjoyed hearing what Keita had to say, finding it really nice.
"Y-Yeah, you're right. I hadn't thought about it like that before...yes, I really like that."
"Hehe, I'm glad. But, we have school now, right?" Izuku panicked as Keita began walking ahead, while Katsuki got beside him. "Lets go together."
Izuku nods, and gets to the side of Keita, and begins walking, exchanging glances with Katsuki.
"G-Good morning Kacchan."
"Nerd."
Katsuki murmured, dismissing him.
Keita raised a brow.
"Kacchan?" Keita wondered, glancing between the two of them. "I see, a nickname. Kacchan, that's a cool nickname. Say, can I call you that?" Katsuki raised a brow, then shrugged. "Great...hey, want to give me one too?"
"Like what?"
"Erm, I dunno. Don't friends come up nicknames for other friends? I'll leave it to you two~"
Katsuki and Izuku looked at one another, before Katsuki strongly turned her head away, while Izuku dipped his head downwards to his chest.
Keita gave an intrigued look as the trio went towards their school together.
Though Keita could sense tension between Izuku and Katsuki, wondering what their story was, but right now, he was happy enough to be able to find some new people to speak with.
Hiding in the shadows, and having watched what had happened, a heavy breathing figure kept silent as they followed the trio from the shadows.
Murmuring only a single word of "Flesh..." over and over again in a creepy manner, the individual set their eyes upon Keita, Katsuki and Izuku.
Approaching faster, and faster, the individual moved to across the street from them.
Keita thanks to his training with the Hero Safety Commission felt something off, having heard the slightest of sounds when the follower brushed against a garbage bin, so Keita began to look around, going to different alleyways, and focused upon them.
Getting to the school, the individual stopped, as Keita and the others entered, the individuals eyes kept being on Keita, and a disturbing smirk appeared across his face.
"He noticed me...he will be good prey...I can't wait...to see his innards...!"
Declaring that within his mind, the individual skulked off, waiting for his right moment to strike...
Returning back for the day, Keita went into his room, reflecting on what happened over the past few days, and he could say, that he had truly enjoyed it. Though he hadn't found anything on the mission yet, Keita was fond of what he had been through over the previous days.
Lady Nagant approached the room, and saw the door was halfway open, so she peered inside, and saw Keita having his necklace out, looking at the three different items attached to it. One being what looked like a small kids toy ring, one being a locket of sorts that had the image of arms crossed together, and finally, one was another locket that had what looked like the symbol of wings on one side and a rifle on the other.
"There you are, Keita-kun. What are you up too?"
"Ooh, nothing really Nagant-chan. Was there something I am needed to do?"
Lady Nagant shook her head.
"Nothing that I know. Any progress on your mission?"
"So far, nothing. And I haven't heard of any incidents either. I shall continue the operation, and explore as much as I can, make myself a desirable target...without drawing too much attention to Heroes and the likes. I looked into some of the teachers histories to see if anything could be turned up, but nothing so far, same for most of the students in my class, I couldn't find anything really that notable that would lead us to bad guy territory. A girl I know said she was the strongest in her school with her power, and I see no evidence to go against her statement either, so I think if there is to be an attack in our school, she would be it, so I will protect her."
"Good idea. I have looked into it as well, and there is some fights around that area, so be careful Keita-kun." She expressed her thoughts, noticing his eyes was on one of the lockets. "Have you made any friends yet? This girl perhaps?"
"Hmm, I think so. Maybe. I mean, we have talked a bit, and something about her...anyway, I really...enjoyed it."
He admitted, Lady Nagant looked happy to hear it.
"I'm glad." As she said it, she couldn't help but have protective feelings come over her. "Still, how do you feel about going out? This is the first time you've been on your own really, since..."
Keita slowly nods.
"Its okay to say his name...big brother."
Lady Nagant could hear the slight tremble when Keita said 'big brother' telling her all she needed to know.
"Yeah, him. Keita-kun...if it does get to much, you can always stop. You know? It isn't a concern, and if the President or anyone says anything, you tell me directly. You don't...have to push yourself too hard. I know...what he did to you, still lingers on your mind and heart. Its only natural it would...it must've been truly terrible, I can't even imagine how it must've been for you."
"Thank you, really. But I can't...always put my life on hold, because of him...because of my feelings about him...he has taken...a lot from me, I don't want him to take my future too. I want to become strong Nagant-chan, to be able to do many things. I want...to be like you, Nagant-chan."
Lady Nagant shakes her head.
"You don't want to be like me."
"Why wouldn't I? You are amazing, Lady Nagant-chan. Granted, I don't know the most about Heroes, but what I do know and what I have seen, you're a Hero. After all...you saved me."
Lady Nagant curled her lips upwards, however she then dipped her head.
"...But I couldn't get rid of the darkness that surrounds you from that bastard. That man got away, I regret that I couldn't stop him for you...to put an end to your suffering..."
Keita dips his head.
"One day...he will be stopped, I will be the one to stop him, Nagant-chan. He...is my brother, after all. To be honest...right now, I find it...hard speaking about him...thinking about him...he gives me nightmares every night, and he scares me...but, I want...to be the one who confronts him one day, when I am ready. To show him...to make him understand what he did to me..."
She gave a refreshing look to her face, sitting down beside him, and hugged him to her chest.
Immediately, his face burned red, looking up at her with innocent eyes, which she cooed "Keita-kun, you really are the cutest." in her mind, as she had a penchant for cute things, and Keita definitely fit the bill for that in her eyes.
Keita blushed heavily, and sank into the hug she was giving.
"Nagant-chan...you can always come to me, if it becomes too hard, you know?"
Lady Nagant looked down at him, perplexed.
"What do you mean?"
"I...I know of the pressures you've been under...if it becomes too much...come to me, I'll happily help you with any burdens that you have, as they say, a problem shared, is a problem halved, right?"
"Yes...that is right. But you don't have to worry about me, really."
"Even then...Nagant-chan, I want to become...someone you can rely on too. I've relied on you...so you can rely on me...I will do my best for you, Nagant-chan. Anything you need...I will do it for you, because I believe in you. I'll trust in you, Nagant-chan, so you can trust in me, I passed the tests...so any mission you need me to do, then I will do it, to lighten your burdens."
Lady Nagant felt humbled inside of her, watching this young man confess these things to her, brightened up the darkness that was within her mind.
"Trust me, Keita-kun. You being here...has done more for me than you know." She let out, stroking the back of his head. "Thank you, Keita-kun. Really...you are what I hope many Heroes can be."
She said it without any hesitation, genuinely believing what she was saying.
She didn't say anything else after that, but continued to hug him for a good long time.
Keita gently smiles, and like Lady Nagant, continues to hug her as well, enjoying the time that they had together.
As they did, Lady Nagant moved her eyes across the room, and to the front door, reading the name on the door, Keita Chisaki, and then looked down towards the young man, thinking "I will protect you at all costs, like you did me, especially from Kai Chisaki, I wont let him or anyone hurt you ever again." and continued embracing the young man, enjoying a quiet peaceful time between them.
Meanwhile, sat within his office, the President of the Hero Public Safety Commission, overlooked Keita's file, and more about his Quirk.
Also adding to that, the President was looking to the information that they had on his elder brother, Kai.
Shifting his eyes between them, the President adopted a dark looking smile.
"Young man, you really are a very rare find. You are going to be so important to the future of the Hero Safety Commission, with your power...but Lady Nagant is going to be a problem. Fiercely determined to protect that boy, not willing to capitalize on his incredible potential, I can't let that go to waste. Well, she can always be rid of, if she becomes a problem. With this boys power, there's so many things we can do, I can't wait to begin...now, its time for us to begin my plans for you, Keita-kun. Do your best."
With his darkened smile continuing to radiate on his face, the President placed Keita's file down, knowing that soon, he would be making some kind of plan to do with Keita, and only he knew what that entailed.
He also knew that Lady Nagant, could become an issue, knowing that with her around, she'd never let them do anything with Keita, which began his thoughts on what to do with Lady Nagant, and if they should get rid of her, and if so, how they should do that, with ideas forming in his mind on how to accomplish that.
