A Heroic Impact: Chapter 8
Izuku opened his eyes, and was welcome to the sight of storm clouds through the window of the room he was resting in. Paimon was on the couch near the blue-sheeted bed that Izuku had slept in. She let out a light snore before turning over on her side so Izuku couldn't see her face anymore.
The green-haired boy looked out the window and thought about the previous day. About the warning Kaeya had given him about Lisa, how if he passed, he would become a Knight, and how Amber had supported him. He then remembered teaching Paimon how to write. The white-haired girl's performance at writing at first had been abysmal. However, after about three hours of trial and error, she had finally shown improvement. He was proud of her, unbelievably so.
Izuku then got up quietly, not wanting to wake up the girl, and got himself dressed. As he entered the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, he noticed something he had not noticed before. He had no stubble, or facial hair of any kind at that. In fact, minus his clothes, he looked exactly how he looked when he had arrived. Not a single hair on his head had grown out.
While Izuku observed this discovery, he suddenly heard footsteps and humming. Someone had walked into the bathroom, without noticing him. The lights suddenly turned out as Izuku looked over. He saw Kaeya, in bright blue sleepwear, by the door. He yawned as he walked over to Izuku.
"So, are you nervous for today?" He began, as though he and Izuku were discussing over breakfast rather than in a bathroom.
Izuku snapped out of his stupor before nodding. He was quite nervous for today. After all, he had only been in this world for a short time and he already had a good reputation so far.
"I'm a bit nervous." Izuku admitted as Kaeya glanced at him with a look akin to interest. "Is this... Lisa person as bad as you make her out to be?"
Before Kaeya could respond, there was a knocking at the door. Kaeya sighed as he walked over to the bathroom door, grumbling to himself.
"Why is she here now? It's only seven in the morning damn it!"
Kaeya turned around and sighed. Well, I gotta go answer that. It's probably Lisa. She's a nice person, even if she is rather...well..."
The knocking became much louder as Kaeya's eye twitched. As he turned around, he looked over his shoulder at Izuku.
"Another thing for becoming a knight is that you cannot hold secrets." Kaeya said seriously, ignoring the knocking, which was getting progressively louder by the second. "You will have to tell us your power and origin. Otherwise, you cannot join. The same goes for that little friend of yours. Understand?"
Izuku nodded, determined not to show Kaeya the panic that was now flowing through him. His power's origins were uncomfortable enough, but origin? He couldn't! They would kick him out due to thinking he was insane. How would he even break this to them?
"Hey guys! Guess what? You know how I'm that weird guy who lived in the forest? Well it turns out I'm actually not from this world! Crazy, right?"
Even in Izuku's head, the statement sounded unbelievably stupid.
Izuku heard the door open as he heard two voices talking. He was about to go out, when the bathroom door opened.
A tired Amber walked into the room, her hair sticking up in random places wearing nothing but a towel. She wandered over to the sink with glazed eyes, oblivious to Izuku, who had just stepped back to make room for her. The brown-haired girl then leaned down as she splashed her face with cold water. She shivered a bit before coming back up. She then turned around to grab a brush from the cabinet.
The cabinet Izuku was standing in front of.
Amber muttered a tired "Move." Izuku complied as he moved out of the way. Amber then opened the cabinet and grabbed her black brush. She then made her way over to the mirror with her brush in her hand. She stared at the mirror for a few seconds before turning around.
Izuku smiled nervously as he gave her a half-hearted wave. Amber blinked. Once, twice, three times.
The young girl's scream was heard throughout the whole of Mondstadt.
Izuku made his way over to the couch, wincing due to the pain coming from his stomach where Amber had hit him. He then sat down next to a chipper Paimon, who had been woken up due to the loud scream. Across from them sat a content Kaeya and a blushing, embarrassed Amber, who was looking everywhere and anywhere but Izuku.
Kaeya nodded. "All right. Lisa is waiting outside in the training yard. I'm going to be overviewing your exam, so I do hope you impress me."
Kaeya got up as he then looked at Paimon. "You will be taking your written exam after Izuku. I would usually have someone to overview it, but the person who was originally intended to examine you has a rather biased opinion..."
He looked over at Amber, who was scowling, despite her blush, at the happy white-haired girl. Paimon just grinned devilishly at her. She had been told by a flustered Izuku what had happened (Only after pouting for fifteen minutes for him to tell her what happened, due to his red face). After she had received this bit of information, she had donned an evil smirk. Izuku, who knew Paimon very well, knew that she would most likely use this as teasing material later.
Paimon then gave a toothy smile at Kaeya. "It's ok! Paimon will wait until Izuku is done!"
Kaeya nodded again. "Good. Well then, let's get going!"
He suddenly sprang up from his seat and got on one knee in front of Amber. "Now, do you need help up by any chance~"
Izuku had gotten up from his seat, with a happy Paimon floating around him. As he stood fully up, he looked over to the Kaeya-shaped hole in the wall. He then glanced at the growling Amber, who met his gaze for the first time that morning. She then turned away blushing as Paimon snorted. Amber snarled at her before she quickly ran out of the room before Izuku could say anything.
"Alright!" Izuku grinned, despite still being a bit flustered from his encounter with Amber. "Let's show these knights what we're made of Paimon!"
Paimon nodded determinedly. She would do him proud!
Izuku made his way over to the door that led to the training yard. This was it. He was nervous, but excited! He would be able to be a hero in this world just like in his own!!...
Izuku couldn't help but frown a bit as he stared at the door leading to the training yard. He thought of All Might, and how much he had sacrificed for the green-haired boy. But all of that ha been for nothing if he couldn't get back home...
He suddenly felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked over his shoulder to see a slightly twitching Paimon. She gave him a nervous smile and nodded.
He suddenly regained the steely, determined look that he donned whenever someone was in trouble. He gripped the doorknob tightly. This was it...
And then, he opened the door.
Todoroki scowled as he dodged another attack from Sero, who was unrelenting with his attacks.
This was... unfair! He was supposed to be getting ready to fight Izuku! Not this... tape man! The green-haired boy had made a proclamation against him! He was supposed to prove Izuku wrong! How he was stronger than him, how he didn't understand his pain. How much more he had trained in order to surpass him. To surpass everyone! But now, instead of fighting Izuku, he was fighting a black-haired nobody. What was his name again? Cero? Fero?
Sero gave Todoroki a wide grin as he punched him in the chest, sending the dual-haired boy back a few feet.
"Don't worry Todoroki!" Sero said as he lept at him, tape shooting out of his elbows. "This'll be over in a flash!"
Todoroki's mind began to wander. Flash... flash... flash...
A young Todoroki sat up in a room, covered head to toe in cuts and bruises. An unimpressed Endeavor stood before him.
"That is not how you use your fire!" Endeavorshouted. "Like this! FLAME FLASH!"
A burst of fire erupted from his father's hands, burning the door, and the side of the young boy's cheek. Tears rolled down the boy's face.
"B-But daddy!" The little Todoroki cried, "I w-want to see m-mommy aga-"
He was interrupted by his father slapping him in the face.
"Quit your whining!" Endavor shouted once more. "She isn't here because she ruined my creation! She served her purpose!"
Her... purpose?
Todoroki stood with his hair shadowing his eyes in the middle of the ring, Sero's victorious laughter morphing into his father's cruel laughter. A few flames danced around Todoroki's hand before he clenched his hand tightly, gritting his teeth.
Sero, however, did not see these red flags. As he put more tape around the ring, laughing victorious.
"It's over Todoroki!" The black-haired boy laughed, unaware of the ice forming in Todoroki's hand.
"She's useless to me!"
Useless?
Todoroki raised his head, his eyes tracing the crowd...
"You should be glad she's gone!"
Glad?
Todoroki's eyes finally focused on one man in the crowd, a pro-hero with a flaming beard, who stared down at him with an impassive look.
"You are my weapon! I will use you to surpass All Might!"
"Your weapon?"
It was right then and there. Something in Todoroki snapped. He didn't move. Time seemed to slow down. Suddenly, everything seemed insignificant. All Might, the U.A. Students, the laughing Sero, the worried crowd...
Time seemed to freeze as Todoroki looked at Endeavor. His parent. His father.
His reason for not having a mom around anymore.
The dual-haired boy looked up at the man with contempt and hatred.
"I honestly hate you." The boy hissed under his breath as he raised his arm.
And then, all at once, time returned to normal.
It had happened in an instance. All Might gave a gasp of surprise as Aizawa and the portal man looked on in shock from their booth. People in the crowd had blinked and it was there. The crowd gave a shriek of terror, pressing themselves backwards onto the back of their seats. The U.A. Students looked on in awe and shock. They had not expected for Todoroki to be this far ahead of them...
A massive pillar of ice had appeared in the middle of the ring, so wide that it took up the whole ring and was so tall that it creaked threateningly above the audience.
Sero was covered from neck to toe in ice. He was shivering and his body and tape were complete encased in ice.
Midnight was shivering too. Half of her body was completely encased as well.
"C-Can you move Sero?" Asked the pro-hero as she broke out of the ice.
"A-A-A-Are y-y-you s-serious?" The black-haired boy asked through chattering teeth. "I-I c-couldn't move e-even if I used all my t-tape to g-get m-myself f-f-free."
"He kinda sounds like Deku with all that stuttering." Bakugo thought. Even with the somewhat comedic comment, Bakugo did not crack a smile. A scowl graced his features as he stared at the dual-haired boy standing in the middle of the ring. Todoroki, looking slightly apologetic, quickly destroyed the ice as Sero fell to the ground, shaking like a leaf. As Todoroki went over to help the black-haired boy up, Bakugo looked furious. The blonde knew that the winner had been holding back quite a lot.
Bakugo snarled as he saw Todoroki whisper something to Sero, who smiled a bit shakingly and nodded understandingly. They then both gripped each other's hands and shook for the world to see. The crowd was now clapping out of pity for Sero and respect for the sportsmanship that both Todoroki and Sero were showing.
As Sero went back into the tunnel, people were waving at him. Shouting things such as "Nice try!", "Get 'em next time!", "There's always next year!" And "You did incredible to come as far as you did!"
Todoroki couldn't help but feel a little pity staring at the retreating form of the boy as he turned to glare up at his "father".
He quickly walked out of the ring, not anticipating the match he would soon have with the explosive boy.
"What a cutie!"
Izuku suddenly felt two hands on his back and was forced into a hug. He heard Kaeya chuckle as he heard a gasp from Amber. Paimon floated around the two individuals, unsure what to do.
When Izuku was relased from this hug, Paimon quickly flew over to him.
"Is Izuku ok?" Asked Paimon worriedly. "Did the woman do something to Izuku?"
"Ah...no." Izuku said, still a bit red from the contact. The woman giggled as he looked at her for the first time.
The woman had curly dark-brown hair with green eyes and a rather curvy build with fair skin. She wore a white and purple dress that was open on the sides that was embroidered in gold. With that, she wore black gloves, a large witch's hat, along with black lace stockings. Her hair appeared to be tied back with a tiny purple rose.
The woman looked at Izuku, a smile gracing her full lips. "You sure know how to pick 'em, Kaeya! He sure looks like a lot of fun~"
It only took a matter of seconds for Izuku to realize that this woman and the pro-hero Midnight would be best of friends.
The woman winked at Izuku as Izuku flushed. Kaeya chuckled.
"Well then," He spoke up, "I think it's best if we begin, don't you agree Amber? Amber?"
He turned around, confused, noticing Amber's silence. He looked around, only to see Amber standing right next to the doorway staring at Lisa and Izuku. If looks could kill, they would have both dropped dead in a second. Minus this ferocious look, her face was quite red.
Kaeya turned around and laughed. "Aww..." he teased. "Is the great Outrider of the Knights of Favonius jea-"
He was cut off as a fist made his face. He flew into the wall, breaking through it and the wall behind it. Amber resembled a tomato once more as she made a weird noise between a snarl and a whimper as she leaned against a wall, still glaring at Lisa, who was now laughing at her while Paimon was stilling checking Izuku frantically in case Lisa had done anything to him.
Izuku was trying his hardest to keep a deadpan expression to crawl onto his face. "These guys defend the city? They're nuts!" The young boy thought to himself as he patted Paimon's head as the little girl let out a sigh of relief.
"Paimon don't trust that woman Izuku." Paimon said, looking at Lisa who was now teasing a red, yelling Amber. "The strange woman looks like a witch. Paimon doesn't like witches."
Izuku sighed as he whispered words of encouragement into Paimon's ear. She looked more content after he was done whispering, and puffed out her chest determinedly as she and the green-haired boy turned to face the trio.
Lisa bowed. "My name is Lisa. I am a Knight of Favonius. You must be Izuku." She grinned right there, making the boy nervous. She waved him off, laughing at his attitude.
"With that aside, Amber has informed us that you and the girl want to come Knights. Well, it won't be easy at all. But who knows? Miracles happen. You might get in.
She turned around pulling out a spellbook. Amber and Kaeya immediately stepped back, with Kaeya grabbing a bewildered Paimon away from Izuku.
"Now," the witch said opening up the book, charging her hand with power. "We'll see if you can pass the first test."
A sadistic smile appeared on her face. "With that out of the way, let's begin."
DONE! YES! I DID IT! :D
So, I've been reading reviews and a LOT of you guys want only Izuku in this world! My response: Sure thing! Just want to make you guys happy! No MHA characters coming to the world of Genshin Impact.
But, I'm still going to be giving updates about Izuku's world. It will definitely prove to be beneficial when the time comes ;).
So, finals are next week. So no updates for a bit! At least, I think. My brain works in mysterious ways...
Don't forgot to read, review, and enjoy... and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D
