I was too tired for this.
I didn't get enough sleep the night before to be sat on a bus heading out for rescue training.
Our homeroom teacher Mr.Aizawa said that there will be three teachers teaching the lesson today. Himself, All Might and another hero teaching here named Thirteen.
The noise on the bus was minimal, just filled with chatter about quirks and heroes. What almost everyone talks about.
"I think that Todoroki, Yoshimura and Bakugo have really strong and flashy quirks. But Bakugou won't be as famous because he has a potty mouth." Tsuyu stated her opinion on this which obviously caused the loudest one to get mad.
"What was that Frog face!" Bakugou's bashful tone was ignored as they moved on to speak about someone else.
"Your quirk is a lot like All Mights Midoriya." Tsuyu said.
From my half opened eyes I could see Midoriya start to get somewhat flustered.
From the few days we've been here it was easy to tell his personality.
Anxious, smart, and lacks confidence. That's what I thought anyway. But I couldn't say much.
"Yeah. Do you think he can be a hero like All Might." Kaminari exclaimed in a similar tone to the pink skinned girl beside him.
"But All Might doesn't break himself every time he uses it."
All Might's quirk is unknown. And the argument Kirishima just made was a little stupid. Even if you don't use a quirk, punching something with all your might can still break a few bones.
So with a quirk like whatever Midoriya's is, it isn't unbelievable to believe that it is similar to All Might.
The conversation carried on as I was lost in my own thoughts.
"Didn't you see Yoshimura's fight. With his quirk couldn't he be a popular hero!?" the excited voice of Kaminari asked.
I didn't really care for being popular and I don't think any hero should care for that. Being popular doesn't save people.
"Maybe, but he's too quiet." the girl with the frog quirk said.
"That's just now, I bet he'll be different in the future." Kaminari stuck to defending me, which was a little weird since we barely know each other.
It didn't matter if I became popular. And if that's what most of these guys think is a real hero they probably won't amount to much.
And that isn't anything against them, sure they still have time to grow but they could just become worse. There were heroes that were real popular and had a lot of fans but their records weren't that good unless they teamed up with heroes.
Doing something like that was quite normal since it would sometimes lead heroes to more information to what is going on in the cities that they are protecting.
But staying away from hero work for a whole year will cause the commission to revoke your license and for you to take a license exam to regain it.
Which wouldn't matter for the heroes that just wanted the fame. They could start their own businesses and if marketed well they can live with money coming in whenever without any trouble.
That's why such a mindset that clings to popularity can lead you to straying away from that path in life.
"Look sharp everyone. We're here." Mr. Aizawa said which caused everyone to start to make their way off of the bus.
The building was grand. Enough to fit two or maybe three football stadiums and inside it held many different facility zones.
One zone could be filled with ice while another could be filled with fake burning buildings.
"Whoa, Isn't that thirteen." Uraraka exclaimed.
And yes it was the female space hero. The hero gathered us all in a circle to speak to us. The first thing she spoke about was an explanation of her quirk and how dangerous it was and how quirks can be used to hurt people.
I seen a few people, mainly Tokoyami stumble slightly and started slowly stuttering.
"You are here to learn how to control these powers you have and make sure that you never misuse your quirk to hurt someone unintentionally." everyone in front of her seemed to feel touched by what she said and shown a determination to learn to use control their quirk. Even going one step further.
Mr.Aizawa clears his throat and clapped his hands "Alright first things first--"
The thing about people with quirks that allow for them to gain characteristics of their beast, whether it be a tiger, a dog or a dragon. Their senses are usually top tier, like an animal instinct. their senses and physical abilities were much greater than that of normal people.
So just as the experienced and sharp senses of the pro hero erasurehead, my head whipped towards the feeling of a deathly gaze hidden behind a swirling mist.
My eye's went wide at what I was seeing. Floods of what looked like common ordinary criminals as well as few that seemed more threatening with their presence and cool gait.
The one that held the maniacal gaze of terror had a skinny figure, not skinny in a way that shown he was fit with a strong body, instead it looks more like he didn't eat a lot. His face was hidden by a hand.
Hands covered his entire body. It was disgusting. His pale blue hair danced on his head as he walked through the gate of black mist with sharp and deep yellow eyes.
"Huddle together." Our teacher started readying himself by pulling out yellow goggles for him to fight.
They were most likely to stop anyone from attacking his eyes since that was how his quirk to cancel others out is activated.
"Thirteen protect the kids." he shouted that and jumped into the crowd of villains.
'Seriously.'
That didn't seem like the smartest thing he could do. A combat hero like him, who obviously had seen the villain's warp in here decides to leave his students with a search and rescue hero.
Not taking anything away from Thirteen's ability as a hero. But to me it would have been a whole lot smarter to stick with the students and thirteen so you can erase the warping villains quirk.
He can just send villains here to come attack us.
Or better yet he can just send his damn self.
"Greetings children. We are the league of villains and on this fine morning we have decided that it may be a great occasion to kill the symbol of peace."
And just like that the swirling misty figure was able to create panic amongst the children here.
To top it off he opened up his portal to scatter the us all in different zones of the USJ.
I didn't know why, actually maybe it's because he was closest to me but I grabbed onto Kaminari and we started falling. His stupid self was screaming all the way until his head hit solid concrete.
I had also landed sorely on my back but was able to quickly right myself up and then turn to lift up Kaminari.
Looking around there were buildings, so many ruined buildings. Some toppled over some in tatters looking like they would blow over by a slight push.
And on the street and in or on top of some of those buildings were villains. Countless villains.
"Eh, Kairo." Kaminari stuttered out in a scarce tone. "What do we do!?"
My mind shortly slipped back to one of my training sessions when I was younger and with one of my trainers. He was a combat and strategy instructor but I struggled remembering his lessons.
But there was one thing he would keep drilling into my head. 'Stay calm in every situation. Take as much time as you need and win.'
Simple words like that was what kept me standing. Standing without any fear on my face. Spotting out who may be the more dangerous opponent standing amongst the common folk.
"Kaminari. All we can really do is fight." we don't know the abilities of the people in the building. Any one of them could fly and catch up to me if I just take Kaminari and fly away.
So that should be what we look out for.
Expose all of them and think of a getaway taking their quirks in consideration.
Kaminari weakly stood up clearly not willing. His legs were wobbling as he stood up, his eyes were shaking and there was sweat going down his face.
"Kaminari..." I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to quickly reassure him. "Everything's gonna be okay." it was so abrupt. His eyes stopped shaking and he had a more straightness to his posture.
The fearful look was still on his face but not as much as the previous second.
"Just stick to my back and follow my movements. If anything unexpected that you think is too much for you pops out then just shout."
He grimly nodded.
"You kids done already?" the one who asked had huge lips as well and gave off a big and ugly smile that showed his missing teeth as well as the slowly rotting ones that he still had. I could only imagine what his breath will smell like once I step closer to him.
His hand as well as parts that reached further towards his arm seemed to take on a more light grey colour. I could see the same in his left hand that he had brought out of his pocket. But his skin was pale pink which didn't make sense.
If that wasn't a type of deformity in his skin pigment ot he wasn't some type of mutant, which the rest of his body didn't show, then I could only assume that he was of the transformation class of quirks.
And that led me to concluding that..."His quirk probably lets his hands and arms take on the properties of what he touches."
I said that for Kaminari who was slowly moving behind me, matching my pace.
"Just cause ya got assumptions on my quirk that you actually stand a chance kid." he seemed so uncaring and just taking it like it was another job.
'He is one to watch out for.' that thought was further emphasised by the group of lower tier villains started to move out towards me and Kaminari as he spoke out a few words before waving them on.
The loud hollers seemed to be frightening Kaminari slightly now as we were stood still.
My hands instantly clapped together and in fluorescent pastelle like colours dragons started to create some space for us.
"Did you forget what my quirk was Kaminari?"
His face seemed to pop up in surprise and recognition and then straight to comfort at the thought of my quirk.
He probably thought that I planned to fly us out of here. "We're not leaving until we take him down." I pointed at the big lipped individual.
"What! Why would we do that?" he seemed shocked and confused.
I lowly whispered to him "We don't know who's in the building they may have a quirk that can catch us. Like a flight quirk or a quirk like the warp guy." I had hoped he didn't need me to finish it for him.
His still confused face didn't reassure me at all. I scowled and then went back to explaining as quick as I can.
"Expose them and verify their not a threat and them move."
His face gained a look of recognition and then worry. "Look out!" he pointed behind me.
"Stop Whispering!" the big lipped man seemed to appear in midair in front of me with a fist aimed straight towards my face.
'Crap, can't dodge or Kaminari will get hit.' and I didn't trust he had the speed to follow with dodging. And I won't be quick enough to summon a dragon strong enough to block the punch in this short time frame.
I brought both my arms up and took the full brunt of the hit.
'Shit!' I cursed inwardly. The hit was strong and I could feel my bones shifting in an uncomfortable way telling me to move.
With that block it was enough time for Kaminari to move out of the way.
'How did he get here like that.'
There was no way he jumped and spatial quirks are just to rare for two to be here at the same time.
I quickly got up before he could orientate himself in my direction and blitzed towards him with my superior speed leaving Kaminari behind.
Now in range I swung my fist towards where his liver was. And in the moment of contact my hand had felt the dense and full weight of what felt like a thick building.
Since it was a quirk of course it would be an unfair amount stronger, but it confused me. Shouldn't his quirk factor only be his hands--!
I caught a glimpse of his hand to see that they were now matched with the rest of his skin.
'Meaning he can move it around.' So he most likely moved it to factor other areas of his body. But then how long can it be.
It reached to more of his upper forearm when I seen it on his hands so...
"Kairo!. Help."
Turning my head towards the villains that had somehow hopped on over to Kaminari was a bad idea.
I was punched straight in my stomach and had made my way to Kaminari through short flight and rolls from the devastating blow.
First of all my dragons had captured some of the numerous amount of villains that were here but there were a large number of them that just seemed to be just appearing from thin air.
Looking at the number that just continued to grow I caught glimpses. Glimpses of green. Someone was somehow turning themselves invisible along with another person and come out of the invisibility wherever he wants.
'So that's their play.'
I crossed my hands again and the dragons that were out had seemed to disappear in particles and out came a new one. One much grander and more terrifying looking one in a deathly white mystique slithered itself amongst them.
I wasn't too worried about the invisible man. He seemed to keep huffing in deep breaths to hold his invisible form. So to disrupt that I summoned this scaly white dragon that had deep, alluring but dreadful crimson eyes to spawn right in front of where I'm suspecting him to appear from because of the pattern of villains they were dropping by.
"And boy oh boy was I right."
The terror that had appeared in his eyes, his longue mutant like tongue had started poking out.
His scaly but smooth and more human looking hands that were holding onto another villain who he had just dropped in fear of the creature that was staring straight at him.
"His breath has stopped."
They were the words that kicked him back into gear as I was right in front of him ready to swing a kick at him only to kick at air. He had narrowly dodged the blow and the grasp of the dragon I had summoned.
But for someone with a quirk that allows him to go invisible or camoflauge I couldn't tell what his speed was about.
Unless it was like another quirk.
My scaly white dragon was the only one that was summoned now and was on the move. I used to struggle so much before with fighting with my dragons and not letting them get in the way.
Now the dragon was coiling itself around the large number of villains that were scattered around while I backed away to Kaminari when the man in green had spirited away.
He was fast but not extremely so. I'd say Iida would easily far surpass him in speed.
'Duck'
My instincts kicked in and I ducked to the floor in quick motion as a long and lanky leg that was covered in tight and dark green joggers.
He was still suspended in motion.
I quickly reached for his leg and grabbed it. "So you attack too." I pulled him downwards closer to me and smashed my fist at his jaw.
The villains who were close by to see it looked more angry and ready to attack me but they were stopped by the same person who had attacked me first.
"Kaminari." I said aloud quickly gaining his attention, before I got to speak he interrupted me.
"Screw this waiting Kairo." he screamed out alarmed. "We're surrounded and are worried about people we can't even see. Just please take the chance and get us out of here."
The were tears coming out of his eyes.
'Shit.' my thoughts were getting more muddled. Was I wrong? Am I really the one endangering us even more?
I started to calm myself down and the silent but sped up beating of my heart that I didn't notice started to slow down as well, as much as it could in the situation that we were in.
'Why not'
And once again my hands held themselves together summoning a much bigger dragon in a pastelle red like colour with a golden mane.
As soon as it was summoned the previous white one had disappeared and I grabbed Kaminari as quickly as I could and jumped on top of the red dragon and let it carry us away.
As we were getting higher the shouts we received from the villains were mainly to call us cowards while they were throwing whatever was in their hands at us.
The big lipped man with the pale skin seemed to be calm as he held his head high standing over the man with the invisibility quirk.
"You still haven't realized you have nowhere to run."
And then he clapped his hands.
With a simple clap of his hands a force of pressure seemed to pull me towards his direction. Easily pulling me off of my dragon flying in his direction.
Kaminari was right next me to follow.
'This can't be from him. He's already revealed his quirk.' scanning the direction I was flying in from as high as I was I looked to see if anyone had been showing an unnatural motion.
I nearly didn't spot her, or him. They had very short hair and turquoise coloured eyes. Their hands were up pointed towards me pulling me in the general direction of the man with the quirk to take on any property.
"She's great ain't she?"
'THWACK'
The rhetorical question couldn't even wait for me to properly process it before I was hit squarely across the face.
Kaminari had landed ahead of me in a position that would cause for much pain. Me on the other hand, there was blood rushing down the left side of my head.
'It must be some cut or scrape.'
Which would have likely come from his quirk.
I rubbed my arm over the wound and cleaned the easily visible blood and slowly started to stand up again.
"Mito here." the older man of authority started. "Her wonderful quirk allows her to push and pull anything."
My mind quickly slipped back to the moment where it seemed more like he jumped at me instead of just appearing through the invisibility user.
Looking at the young girl probably still in her teens I thought 'That would make sense.'
I looked back up to the man and said with a wicked smile. "Now. It's time for round 2."
