Dokusei was walking to his house alone; he and Mina split ways two blocks back, and his thoughts were filled with the events from today. How he nearly took Uraraka's head off during training and that he nearly floored the perverted grape. "I haven't lost my temper that bad in years..." he thought aloud. "Care Bare's case was more of adrenaline than rage, but I could have hurt her if she didn't duck out of the way." His blue eyes squinted. "Mineta, however, that was pure anger." He stopped moving and looked up at the sky. "The last time I was that pissed off was when Diggery made Mimi cry." The toxic man chuckled. "I punched him so hard I broke his nose."
The thought of Mina made him look back to where they split. She was quiet the entire walk; she had this lost look in her eyes; something was definitely on her mind, and he knew that it was about him. She always got quiet when Dokusei was on her mind, but she quickly hid it whenever she was talking to someone. Dokusei took a deep breath and continued walking. "She's probably like this because of what Hagakure asked earlier." His face darkened in a blush.
The class finished up, but the bell had yet to ring and Midoriya hadn't returned. Everybody was in their own little group. Dokusei was dragged by Mina to a group of pretty much all the girls of the class. The boy wasn't really paying attention to the group and was reading a text from his mother, saying she probably wouldn't be at home when he returned.
"So is Sumiteru single?" Hagakure asked quietly but loud enough for everyone, including Dokusei, to hear. Mina went stiff as a board and Dokusei nearly dropped his phone. Everybody looked at the set of floating clothes, who was leaning towards Mina. Both Mina and Dokusei had a small blushes on their faces. "What? I thought you said you two weren't dating?" She pointed to Dokusei.
At that moment the bell rang and Dokusei got up. "We're not." It was slight but he saw Mina's shoulders drop a bit. "I'm going to the restroom." Then without another word he left.
The remaining girls looked at Mina, who wore a mask to hide her current emotions. Uraraka leaned in a bit. "Are you ok, Ashido?"
Mina looked at the brunette with a forced smile. "Yeah totally fine!"
Dokusei sighed as the memory played out. "Ms. Invis does NOT know how to be subtle." He continued walking home, his mind drifting away from this world. When he returned home he heard his mother talking to someone.
"Again really?! This is the third time this month!" Higa was talking on the phone when Dokusei popped his head in; she was wearing a pretty red dress, hair done up with a white flower in it, and she had a pair of black heels in her hand. "Robun, you promised to take me out for our anniversary!" The tears just started to fall from her face; she took a few deep breaths to try and calm herself. "Tomorrow night?" She paused waiting for an answer. "You promise?" Another pause. "Alright I'll see you tonight..." Without hearing a reply she hung up and leaned against the wall; she didn't realize her son had returned home.
Dokusei decided to speak. "Mom, is everything okay?"
His voice got Higa's attention. "Oh Dokusei! I'm sorry I didn't hear you come in." She pushed herself off the wall. "And yes everything's fine." She walked to the couch and took a seat. "At least, everything will be fine."
Dokusei took a seat next to his mother. "Dad got held up at work again?"
Higa nodded. "Yes, dear, he and I were supposed to go have dinner for our anniversary tonight but it looks like it will be tomorrow." She sighed in defeat. "This has been happening a lot lately."
Dokusei pulled his mother into a hug. "Yeah, his boss has been really putting him through the ringer."
Higa chuckled lightly. "Yeah, she's a slave driver from what your father says."
Dokusei let go of his mother. "What's he doing this time?"
"He's being forced to chaperone again; he said that he would rather have to chaperone three of me drunk than one of his boss and her "business" friends." She dried her eyes as best she could before Dokusei gave her his handkerchief.
"Hopefully, Mrs. Bitch doesn't push dad too hard." He received a slap on the shoulder and a dirty look from his mother. "Ok, Mrs. Vick." He corrected the name then got up. "I got homework to do."
"Alright, hun, study hard and dinner will be ready in an hour," she said as she got up as well.
The next day Dokusei and Mina arrived to UA with reporters standing outside the main gate. "Ah great..." Dokusei mumbled loud enough for Pinky to hear. "Prepare to be bombarded by useless and pointless questions." He took a few steps forward but stopped when Mina didn't follow. He observed Mina with a lazy smile; Mina clearly wasn't paying attention as she had a slightly sad look on her face, eyes glued to the ground and a hand grasping her other arm. She was clearly thinking; what she was thinking about, the blue eyed boy didn't really know.
He walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey." Mina's head lifted upon hearing Dokusei's voice. "Everything okay?"
Mina slightly nodded her head. "I need to tell him..." She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times. "I need to talk to you about something, but not right now, I'm trying to get the right words together." Her shoulders dropped. "And prepare for what is inevitably going to come..."
Her friend smiled, but dread filled his mind. "So she's really going to do it..." He moved his hand from her shoulder to her head and ruffled her hair. "When you're ready, I'll be there."
Mina smiled and grabbed his hand from her hair. "I know, Doku."
The two looked towards the large group of press; the taller of the two took a deep breath. "Ready to take on the gates of hell?"
Mina laughed at his question. "The media isn't all that bad." She threw her hands behind her head and started walking. "They're probably just really curious about All Might being a teacher here at U.A."
Dokusei quickly followed his childhood friend while sighing. "Something just doesn't feel right..." As the two got closer they were bombarded with questions about All Might. Dokusei had a good hold on Mina's elbow, as he had to practically push people out of the way. They were almost through the group, however one reporter would not let up.
"What it is like having the symbol of peace as your teacher?" The reporter was a woman around her mid thirties, with light brown hair done up in a ponytail, and she was wearing a black suit of some sort, with a shash of her news company on it.
Dokusei stared directly into her eyes. His black scleras made his blue eyes pierce through the air. The reporter's face froze up in fear, as well as rest of her body. "Move." It was the only word that came from his mouth. The reporter listened and literally teleported to the side. Dokusei walked forward as Mina apologized to the woman for him.
They made it to their class not long before Aizawa walked in. "Home room starts now." He walked to his desk. "Good work on yesterday's battle training-" he pulled out a stack of papers "-I've looked over your grades and evaluations." His eyes scanned over the class, landing on his target. "Bakugo." The boy stiffened up. "Grow up already, you're wasting your talent."
Bakugo looked down a bit. "Got it..."
"And Midoriya, seems you've gotten another broken arm." The shy green haired boy looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Learn to control your quirk; your excuse is already getting old." Midoriya nodded not saying anything. "I hate repeating myself but you do have potential, assuming that you can overcome this."
"Right!" was his reply.
"Sumiteru." Dokusei raised an eyebrow as his teacher turned his focus to him. "Watch that anger of yours, you nearly took Uraraka's head off."
"Yes, Sir." Dokusei looked at Uraraka with an apologetic smile; she returned a warm smile of her own.
"Now, on to homeroom business." Aizawa got everyone's attention once more. "I apologize for this sudden announcement, but today..." The whole class got nervous as he took a pause. "You'll be picking a class president."
"Something normal!" nearly everyone yelled out. Practically everybody had their hands in the air, even Midoriya had his hand slightly visible. The only one who didn't have their hand up was Dokusei; he had his head on his desk in despair instead.
"Sumiteru, don't you want to be class president?" Uraraka asked when his head hit the desk with a notable thud.
"No, I do not want to be class president, Care Bear." Dokusei's despair grew as more people's eyes landed on him.
"Oh come on, Doku! You were awesome as class rep in middle school." Mina tried to encourage her friend, but his head stayed put.
Dokusei lifted his hand up with his index finger out. "One, I was vice president-" he pulled out his second finger "-Two, you and nearly everyone in our class pretty much forced it on me." His third finger flipped upward. "And three, I literally didn't do anything, our class president did everything by themselves."
"QUIET DOWN EVERYONE!" A voice got everyone's attention. "Leading the many is a task of heavy responsibility..!" Iida's voice got Dokusei to lift his head. "But ambition does not equate to ability! This sacred office demands the trust of its constituents." His face showed his serious nature."If this is to be a democracy then I put forwarded the motion..." His hand was the highest raised of all the class. "That our true leader must be chosen by election!"
Dokusei chuckled. "A little too wordy in my opinion, Mr. Roboto, but well said." He leaned back and watched as his classmates discussed how they should vote. "I already know where my vote's going to."
After everything was counted Midoriya had the most with three, followed by Yaoyorozu with two, and Dokusei with two as well. The toxic boy glared at the two most likely culprits, Mina and Kirishima. The former whistling innocently, while the latter was trying to hide behind Mina from Dokusei's death glare.
"I only got one vote..." Iida muttered aloud. "I thought I would get zero, but someone believed in me!"
Dokusei tapped Yaoyorozu's shoulder. "Coin flip?" He pulled out a coin about the size of a U.S. quarter. "Heads you get it; tails I get it?" He showed both sides to indicate that it wasn't double-sided
Yaoyorozu shrugged. "Okay..." It's clear she wanted to be president not vice.
Dokusei flipped the coin into the air; everyone watched as it nearly hit the ceiling as it came back down. Dokusei caught it without looking and slammed it on top of his forearm. He took a peek and smirked at Yaoyorozu. "Well, Mrs. Encyclopedia..." The tall girl's face subtly dropped before returning to her neutral glare. Dokusei removed his hand over the coin. "You are our vice president." It showed heads facing up.
Yaoyorozu sighed as her shoulders dropped in relief, while Mina groaned in dismay. The pink girl hugged her friend. "Doku! Why!?"
Dokusei just simply shrugged. "Bad luck it seems."
Aizawa got up from his nap. "Fine. So your president is Midoriya and your vice is Yaoyorozu." With that the day went on and before anyone knew it, it was lunch time!
Dokusei sat with Midoriya, Iida, and Uraraka. The toxic hero wanted to sit and check with Mina to see if she was ready to talk, but she gave him a death glare that made his glare look like a puppy trying to be menacing.
"So many kids here..." Midoriya was still flabbergasted by the amount of people.
"Mordy, UA is still a school, with two more grades ahead to look forward to." Dokusei tried to get Midoriya's attention. "Though I'm a bit surprised that we only have one lunch period. At my middle school we had two lunch periods." He looked around the whole cafeteria seeing it was much bigger than his old school's. "Then again we did have a smaller cafeteria." He took a bite of his food while looking at his fellow green haired classmate.
"Sorry... I'm just a little worried about whether or not I can really be class president..."
Dokusei slapped Midoriya's shoulder. "I say that you got what it takes."
"Yeah, you can do it!" Uraraka chimed in with a mouth full of rice.
"Worry not." Iida took a quick bite of his food before continuing. "Midoriya. Your grit and decisiveness in a pinch make you perfectly suited to lead us all. That's why I voted for you."
Dokusei looked at Midoriya. "Mr. Roboto has a point, Mordy. You and everyone else has what it takes to be a leader, myself and even Short Fuse included." He put and arm around the boy. "But you have one thing that a lot of us don't have naturally."
Midoriya looked at the blue eyes of his classmate. "What is that?" Fear was slowly creeping up on him. "Oh god... does he know about One for All?"
Dokusei simply smiled. "A heart of gold." This caused confused looks from the group. Dokusei removed his arm from Midoriya. "Midoriya, you're here because you truly want to help people." Dokusei gave the boy a smirk. "If I remember correctly on the news, about a year back, a green haired boy ran head first into a battle with a villain when no pro was doing anything." A clawed hand went back to hi food. "You look awfully like that boy in the news, just saying."
The group was silent for a moment as they looked at the walking biohazard. "Sumiteru, why did you want to be a hero?" Uraraka voiced her thought.
Dokusei chuckled. " I didn't think I could be one with my quirk." He looked down at his hands, showing his claws fully. "I was bullied by the pure fear of me becoming a villain. It went on for about three years, that was until I met Mina." His lips pulled into a smile at the memory. "She's the reason why I'm here at all."
"You didn't want to become a hero?" Midoriya asked without thinking.
"No, I wanted to be one like any other kid." Dokusei quickly took a bite of his food. "I just never believed in myself that I could achieve such a dream." He thoughts connected within himself. "I still do, to a certain extent."
"Whether you still do or not, I believe that you'll make a fine hero someday," Iida voiced his opinion after a small pause in the conversation. Dokusei nodded in thanks.
"The way you talk, Iida... are you a rich kid?!" The random question from Uraraka threw the whole group for a loop, and started a conversation on Iida's hero family. He was the youngest in a whole line of heroes; his older brother was the Turbo Hero Ingenium. Talking about Iida's family clearly brought a smile to the speedster's face.
"It's my admiration for my brother that inspired my own desire to become a hero." Iida's smile was prevalent. "Though I realized I'm not yet ready to lead anyone." He looked at Midoriya, his smile becoming calmer. "As the superior candidate, it was right that the role should go to you Midoriya."
Dokusei hummed at Iida's words. "I say otherwise, Mr. Roboto." Iida looked at the toxic boy with a questioning look. "You show a lot more of a leader than you give yourself credit for, this was the reason why I voted for you."
Iida's face was pure shock, but before he could speak the alarm sounded. Next thing they knew everyone was being pushed, shoved, and nearly trampled towards the exit.
Dokusei was pushed to the wall, with Uraraka and Iida next to him. Dokusei put himself between the mob and his friends. "Keep your arms above your waist!" He worked back at the mob, but he was shoved with ten times the force, nearly headbutting Uraraka. "Sorry, Care Bear..."
"There's no danger. It's just the media." Iida tried grabbing the rushing mob's attention. "Everyone clam d- ouch!"
Dokusei winced at the pain in his back and legs. "They can't hear you Iida, you need to get there attention some other way!" He was trying his best to protect his friends, however the two still got hit every now and then.
Iida quickly looked around; his eyes brightened up with an idea. "Uraraka make me float!" Iida reached out his hand towards Uraraka. She slapped his hand and he floated above the mob; he rolled up his pant legs and bolted forward to the exit sign. He hit the wall with a thud and grabbed on to a pipe to keep him still. "EVERYONE... EVERYTHING'S FINE!"
This caused the mob to cease its senseless panic. Iida went on about that there was no threat and that the students of UA should be ashamed of themselves for acting in such a manner. Dokusei was a bit too busy paying attention to not notice how close he was pushed up against Uraraka. "Umm Sumiteru..." Her voice got him to look at her; she had a light blush quickly spreading across her face. "Could you give me some air please..."
Dokusei looked at his situation and quickly jolted back. "I am sorry, Uraraka!" he exclaimed, spawning curious glances his way.
Uraraka's blush darkened slightly. "No worries! It was an honest accident!" Dokusei bowed slightly and went to walk away, but he felt a tug on his arm. Looking back he saw Uraraka giving him a genuine smile. "Thank you for protecting me from being trampled."
Dokusei chuckled and smirked. "No thanks necessary, Care Bear. I was doing what a hero should do."
Everyone returned to the classroom unharmed. Midoriya decided that Iida would be a better class president than himself, and class returned to normal.
The next day not was of interest until the basic hero training class. Aizawa was here instead of All Might. "Now for today's class, this time All Might, myself, and one other will be supervising."
Sero asked what they were doing. Aizawa pulled out a card like All Might did. "Rescue," was read. "Preparing you for disaster relief from fires to floods. It's Rescue training!" Everyone nearly went ballistic, while Dokusei looked at his claws. "Hey! I'm not done yet!" He pulled out the remote for their costumes. "It's up to each of you whether or not you wear your costumes. As some of them are ill-suited for this activity." The suitcase rack was fully extended at this point. "The training site is a bit remote, so we'll be going by bus. That is all, get ready."
The class got dressed and made there way to the bus. "Mordy, you look naked without your bunny outfit!" Dokusei said as loud as possible, without actually yelling. He had his mask around his neck and his hood down for now. He, Midoriya, and Uraraka walked together towards the bus.
This made the boy stutter a bit. "M-My costume didn't make it through battle training in one piece..." He calmed down and showed off the new mask he got. "The School's support company is repairing it. I just got to wait for now."
Iida made each person line up by student ID. He was conveniently placed with Mina. She had yet to talk to him, but Dokusei could wait a bit more. "Could we talk after school, Doku...?" The toxic boy barely registered Mina's voice.
Dokusei adjusted his mask around his neck. "Of course." The two sat down on the bus and they went onward towards their destination.
Iida was having a small crisis. "Darn. It was this type of bus."
Dokusei patted Iida's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mr. Roboto, your heart was in it, and that's all that matters in the end, right?" He got a nod from the the class president.
"Your quirk resembles All Might's." Tsuyu appeared to make a random comment.
Dokusei decided to chime in. "If All Might's quirk made himself turn into a flappy tube man in the wind, then yeah."
"The similarities are there." Kirishima popped in. "But that sort of simple strength enhancing quirk is awesome! You can do a lot of stuff with it!" He extended his arm to show off his own quirk. "Not unlike my hardening. It's good in a fight, but it's really boring."
Midoriya went all quirk sage for Kirishima. "I thinks that's pretty neat, though. Your quirk is more than enough to go pro."
"If you don't have a flashy quirk, you make up for it with your charisma." Dokusei gave his two cents. "Take a look at fatgum. The man doesn't have that flashy of a quirk but he's a real favorite with the kids."
"Heroes have to worry about their popular appeal too," Mina spoke up for the first time in a while.
"My navel lazer is both strong and cool," Aoyama declared. "Perfect for a pro."
Dokusei chuckled. "So long as you don't destroy your stomach, Captain Sparkles." Dokusei received a look of "Why?" from Aoyama.
"You want to talk about strong and cool?" Tsuyu got the group's attention. "That'd be Todoroki and Bakugo." The latter gave a 'tch' to his classmates. "But Bakugo is so unhinged, he'd never be popular."
"What did you say, frog face?!" Bakugo apparently took offense from Tsuyu. He got up so fast that he spooked his seating partner, Jiro.
Tsuyu simply pointed at Bakugo. "See."
Kaminari decided to poke fun at the green bomber. "We've only started socializing and already you've made it abundantly clear to us that the unpleasantness of your personality is equal to a turd."
Dokusei let out a laugh. "Oh come on, Pikachu, even a turd has more personality than Short Fuse!"
Bakugo's anger was directed towards the two of them. "Yeah okay, Mr. Vocabulary and Villain Reject. How about I pound the two of you?!"
Dokusei laughed in Bakugo's face. "Careful, Short Fuse, some people might take that the wrong way." That got Bakugo to blush and shut up and the whole bus to start busting a gut.
The bus finally came to a stop and Aizawa opened the door. "We're here. Look sharp now..."
"Yes, sir!" everyone called back.
They walked up to a large building with very beefy doors. When the class walked through, they saw a disaster version of Universal Studios Japan. "There's the flood zone, landslide zone; conflagration zone.. etc." A voice that went through a helmet got the group's attention. "Every disaster you can imagine." He appeared to be walking up the stairs, slowly coming into view. "I've built this facility myself. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint!" He finished his introductory speech as he reached the top of the stairs. Everyone saw who it was, The Space Hero Thirteen!
Both Midoriya and Uraraka went into fangirl mode. "He's a gentleman hero who does his best work in rescue scenarios!" Midoriya pulled the random fact out of nowhere.
"Ooh, I love Thirteen!" Uraraka just went off like a normal fangirl.
Aizawa walked up the the fellow teacher and started discussing about All Might. Dokusei couldn't hear most of their conversation but Thirteen did hold up three fingers for some reason.
Thirteen walked up to the class. "Before we begin, I have one or five points to make..."
"That's a lot of points..." Dokusei thought as a sweat drop fell.
Thirteen went into detail on how his quirk, Black Hole, was extremely powerful and very useful at clearing debris, but it could easily kill someone if he wasn't careful.
Dokusei looked at his silver claws on his glove. "I could very easily kill someone without really thinking..."
"...the use of Quirks is heavily restricted and monitored. It may seem that the system is a stable one. But we must never forget that it only takes one wrong move from an uncontrollable quirk for people to die." Thirteen continued his speech.
Dokusei clenched his fist at the thought of accidentally killing someone. Mina and Uraraka both noticed this, and both gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"During Aizawa's fitness training you came to learn about your hidden potential." Thirteen got Dokusei's attention once more. "Through All Might's battle training, you experienced the danger that your respective quirks can pose to others."
Dokusei remembered how the only time he used his quirk on another person was during battle training. "I could've easily killed Uraraka if I made my paralyzation toxin a bit too strong."
"This class will show you a new perspective! You will learn how to utilize your quirks to save lives." Dokusei looked at Thirteen with more determination. "Your powers are not meant to harm. I hope you leave here today with the understanding that you are meant to help people." He bowed at the end of his speech. "That is all! I thank you for listening." Some of the class, Dokusei included, gave Thirteen applause.
Dokusei looked around feeling more eager than ever to see what he could actually do in a disaster situation, but he saw something in the courtyard.
"Great. First off..."
"Mr. Aizawa..." Dokusei pointed at the courtyard. "Something's not right..."
Aizawa went on full alert. "Stick together and don't move." Some form of portal had opened in the courtyard; people of all shapes and sizes started pouring out. "Thirteen, protect students."
Kirishima looked on with a bit of wonder. "What the heck is that? More battle bots like during the entrance exam?"
Dokusei pulled Kirishima back; Aizawa put on his goggles. "Don't move, those are real villains!"
Fear overcame everyone at the revelation. "Where's the alarm?" Yaoyorozu commented; she looked at thirteen. "Shouldn't there be intruder sensors?"
Thirteen answered as best he could. "Yes, of course there are..."
Dokusei looked on as villains began pouring out all over the place. He heard Todoroki give his explanation on why the sensors weren't working. "... this is a well coordinated sneak attack."
Aizawa continued giving orders to evacuate and gave Kaminari permission to use his quirk to signal for help. It looked like he was going to hold them off till they got out and or backup arrived. Midoriya tried to talk him out of it. "No good hero is a one trick pony. Thirteen, take care of them." With that, he jumped and started kicking villain ass!
Midoriya was blown away by how Aizawa handled the hordes of villains. He erased their quirks and took them down quickly. Dokusei had to grab him. "Move now, admire later!"
"R-Right..." was the reply.
They barely got ten feet when a black void appeared in front of them. "I won't allow that." The whole class stopped in their tracks. "Greetings. We are the League of Villains." The void took a more "human" shape. "Forgive our audacity, but today we've come here to UA high school, this Bastion of heroism, to end the life of All Might, the symbol of peace." Their intent was clear, to kill All Might was to take down modern hero society.
Dokusei clenched his first in rage and got into a light fighting stance; he saw Thirteen remove the cap on his finger. However before the space hero could do anything good, Bakugo and Kirishima rushed forward and attacked the void man. "You idiots!" Dokusei called out.
Their attack did nothing to the man. "My that was close... yes... students you may be the best of the best." The void began to expand. "My role is clear, I will scatter you all, to be tortured and killed! Begone!"
As the void closed in on them, Iida began to use his speed to get as many as he could out. Dokusei saw Mina falling into a portal. Without thinking he grabbed onto her and tossed her to Iida. "IIDA, CATCH!" and the speedster did, but Mina saw Dokusei fall into the portal instead.
"DOKUSEI!" She reached out her hand towards him, but he was well out of reach. The last thing she saw was him giving her a smirk and a wink.
