Lemon warning for this chapter.
Shortly after their exams, Class 1-A went on their forest training school trip. During the week, Zen, Kitsuna, Kyosuke, Ketsugi, and Yui all managed to upgrade their Quirks. Kitsuna learned to activate up to seven tails while keeping her sanity. Kyosuke's tendrils began to increase in possible length, being able to reach 15 meters. Yui managed to increase the speed at which her Quirk redirects. Ketsugi also gained an increase in overall speed, his base now being at 55 with a max at 80. Zen upgraded the least, only boosting Zen Style to a max of 17%, with individual elements reaching 34%. After their school trip, they were preparing to take the Provisional Hero License Exam. Aizawa decided on having his students develop Super Moves.
"Alright class, today we'll start making your Special Moves. Midnight, Cementoss, and Ectoplasm will help out. Get your costumes on and go to Gym Gamma." Aizawa tells them.
Class 1-A changes in haste, excited to make their Super Moves. After they all finish changing, they make their way to Gym Gamma. There, Cementoss tells them that he created the gym and can alter it to each individual student's needs. Ectoplasm then explains that not all Super Moves are offensive, with Midnight using Aizawa's scarf as an example. Aizawa tells the class to consider upgrading their hero outfits, and that they are required to make at least two special moves. They then begin making their Super Moves.
Kitsuna already had an idea for one. Using the energy from one of her tails, Kitsuna turned it into claws, being powerful enough to cleave through stone. She dubbed the attack Kitsune Claws.
Ketsugi and Yui began brainstorming ideas for their Super Moves together. Kyosuke began designing his own, having a few ideas. Zen, however, took the time to develop his outfit. He went to the school's Development Studio. There, Power Loader taught Zen the basics of upgrading hero outfits, and gave Zen access to the designs of his hero outfit. Zen explained his Quirk to Power Loader who gave him suggestions on what he can do. Zen began upgrading the goggles, gloves, and boots of his outfit.
"How's it coming along kid?" Power Loader asked, walking up to Zen who was fusing something into his gloves.
"I think I got the power compensator right. Time to check." Zen said, putting his gloves on.
Their outward appearance didn't change much, but Zen put a compression glove inside, as well as a power compensator of his own design. Zen used Isolation Style in his fist reaching its max of 50%.
"Alright, if this works, I should be able to use a max of around 60% instead of 50 before feeling anything." Zen said.
"Let's see it, then." Power Loader said, taking a small step back.
Zen began gradually increasing his power, counting up as he did.
"60%. Ha! Yes! We did it!" Zen said, pumping his fist into the air. An elemental blast hit the roof, punching through it.
"Woah now!" Power Loader said, taking another step back.
"Oh shit. Sorry about that." Zen said, deactivating his Quirk.
"That's alright kid. Oh, and you did it. Not us." Power Loader said, praising Zen.
"Thanks, Power Loader." Zen said.
"Too bad your Quirk is so powerful. You'd do great in the Support Class." Power Loader said.
"Thanks, I guess." Zen said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Now it's time to upgrade the boots and goggles, yeah?" Power Loader asked.
"Yeah. I'm gonna strengthen the materials in my boots, and I'll do something about the strength of the glass in my goggles. Cat Scratch shattered them at one point when I was interning with her." Zen said.
"Alright. I'll check with you later then." Power Loader told him, leaving his on his own.
Zen grabbed his boots, looking at the design. He noticed that the armor plating was a special alloy, designed specifically not to melt. Looking at other metals to add, Zen found a particular mixture that could make them practically indestructible. Surprisingly, Zen found the exact metals he needed. Fusing the metals together, Zen made a new, extremely durable alloy. Using his metal manipulation, he formed them into the exact shape as the old alloy from his boots. He put them into his boots, making them feel a bit heavier, a calculation Zen forgot to include. He saw it as a positive, being able to strengthen his legs, even if just a little bit. It had been a few hours since Power Loader had left. He had just come back to check on Zen.
"You strengthen your boots?" Power Loader asked, seeing them on Zen.
"Yeah. Had to make a whole new alloy to add the high melting point and high tensile strength. Took me a while, but I got it." Zen answered, pulling one of the armor plates from his boot. He handed it to Power Loader.
"Kid, this is crazy. I can tell how strong it is just by holding it." Power Loader praised, knocking on the armor plate. He handed it back to Zen, who put it back in his boot.
"Thanks for letting me stay in here. I'll be back tomorrow to work on my goggles." Zen said, waving to Power Loader as he walked out.
"Later kid." Power Loader said.
That night, Zen stayed up late, researching how to make stronger glass for his goggles. He then had a better idea. Looking at the designs for his goggles, he thought of adding a chip into them, allowing them to make an information hud. Zen began studying up on it, taking various notes on the subject. He eventually fell asleep at his desk.
The next morning, Yuko walked into Zen's room, sipping on a cup of coffee. She saw her son sleeping at his desk, still in his school uniform. Walking over to him, she saw his notes for the goggles, as well as notes he had made while upgrading his gloves and boots.
"His gloves will help him to regulate his percentages now? Clever. And he made a new alloy? Did he make a name for it?" Yuko said to herself aloud. Zen jumped up, having heard her.
"Who's there?" Zen said, still half asleep. He saw his mom, relaxing.
"Good morning, baby boy." Yuko said, brushing his hair back.
"Morning, Mom." Zen said, waking up.
"I saw your designs. You're going to try and turn your goggles into a mini computer?" Yuko asked her son, handing him her coffee.
"Yeah. My goal is to make it to where I can use it to give me night vision, thermal vision, infrared vision, x-ray vision, ultraviolet vision, and more. Perhaps, even allow me to scan people and show me public records and stuff." Zen explained, drinking the coffee.
"That sounds a little bit illegal." Yuko said, a bit concerned.
"They don't mind when it's done by a Quirk, so if they have a problem when done by a pair of goggles, which would probably be weaker anyway, they got their priorities upside down." Zen said.
"Well, it's time for you to get to school." Yuko said, walking away after getting her coffee back.
Zen gathered his notes and school supplies, putting them in his bag. He went downstairs and ate breakfast. After giving Jina a small bit of training, Zen left for school. During the later half of the day, Zen holed himself back up in the Development Studio. Power Loader entered the studio.
"Hey kid. Back to work?" Power Loader asked.
"Yep. Turning these goggles into super vision." Zen said, using a phone for parts to put into his goggles.
"Jeez, kid. You're pretty good with tech." Power Loader said.
"I've got an edetic memory. I can't forget anything. Plus, I'm very good at replicating things I see." Zen said. He placed the last piece of needed tech into goggles.
"Are they done?" Power Loader asked.
"Not yet. I've gotta get the necessary software to put in them. Which should be done about now, actually." Zen said, turning to a laptop.
The laptop screen was covered with various software downloading onto a microchip. The final bit of software had just finished when Zen turned. He pulled the chip out, holding it with tweezers.
"Gotta be careful till it's in the goggles." Zen said, carefully pushing it into the necessary slot. The glass of the goggles seemed to do a wipe across the lenses. Zen picked them up and put them on. He pressed a small button, turning them on.
"So, do they work?" Power Loader asked, anxious. Zen was looking around.
"There are about a billion handprints in this room." Zen said. He began getting excited. He began switching through the various forms of vision, making sure they were all operational. "They work!"
"Awesome, kid! You've got a knack for this kinda thing." Power Loader said.
"Wanna try them out?" Zen asked, handing the goggles to Power Loader.
"Definitely." Power Loader said, removing his helmet and putting the goggles on. He was looking around in the thermal mode. Looking at Zen, he saw his temperature fluctuating. "Hey, kid, do you know your body's changing temps constantly?"
"Yeah, that's my Quirk. It never really settles." Zen said. Power Loader handed Zen the goggles back as Zen got the idea for a Super Move.
"You've done a great job, kid. You should come around often, try your hand at more inventing." Power Loader said.
"Yeah I will, definitely. It was fun. I've gotta go, though. I just thought up the perfect Super Move, thanks to you saying something about my temperature. Later, Power Loader-sensei." Zen said, running off.
Zen went to Gym Gamma, seeing the other students of Class 1-A training hard. He went to a more secluded area of the gym, facing away from the other students. Some of them were curious as to what Zen would come up with, stopping to watch him.
"Cementoss-sensei, can you form four pillars behind me?" Zen asked, turning towards the teacher while pointing.
"Yes I can." Cementoss said, using his Quirk to form four strong pillars.
"Thanks." Zen said, turning back towards the pillars.
Zen raised his hands, pointing them at the pillars. His eyes turned light blue, dark blue, purple, and red.
"Hydra Breath." Zen said, unleashing ice, water, lightning, and fire at the pillars. The two hit by water and ice crumbled, while the two hit by fire and lightning had large holes.
"Woah." Kitsuna said, sitting on a slab of raised concrete. She hopped down and walked over to Zen.
"Hey." Zen said, seeing his girlfriend approach him.
"Hiya." Kitsuna said back. "That's pretty cool. But, why'd your fire and lightning not destroy the pillars?"
"Simple. At the end of the day, they are still just elements, susceptible to their natural counters. Fire and lightning won't really do much to stone. Still, I was able to put enough force behind the two to puncture stone, so it worked." Zen explained.
"Gotta a cool name for it too. Hydra Breath. Sounds lethal." Kitsuna said, thinking on it.
"It'll end a fight quickly." Zen said, holding his left arm.
"You okay?" Kitsuna asked.
"I'm fine. My arm's just been through a thousand beatings. It hurts sometimes after using a lot of power." Zen said.
"Oh, ok. So, what've you been working on in the Dev Studio?" Kitsuna asked, having noticed the updated look of his gloves.
"Glad you asked." Zen said, rubbing his hands together. "So, I installed power compensators and compression linings in both my gloves. This'll help me regulate my Quirk, as well as help my hands keep from getting damaged more. For my boots, I took out the armor plate in them, made a new, better, alloy, giving it a higher temp resistance as well as making it much more durable."
"You did all that in a day?! That's amazing!" Kitsuna said, astounded.
"That's not all. I inlayed my goggles with lenses that'll let me see in various visions, such as night, thermal, UV, etc." Zen said.
"Ho-ly, Zen. You've been hard at work." Kitsuna said. She could feel herself falling deeper into love with him.
"I'll do the same to your's if you'd like." Zen offered.
"I'd appreciate that." Kitsuna said, handing him her goggles.
Their school then ended, with Zen and Kitsuna walking home after leaving. Just before they got onto their train, Kitsuna grabbed Zen's hand.
"Hey, come on. I don't wanna separate just yet." Kitsuna said, pulling him away.
"Alright, where're we going?" Zen asked, following her.
"Come on, use your Quirk to jump." Kitsuna said, activating her Quirk to hop on top of a short building.
Zen activated Zen Style, jumping up to follow Kitsuna. They ran across and up a few buildings before finally reaching their destination. It was a small rooftop with what looked like an abandoned yet thriving garden. They were both a bit out of breath.
"Wow. What a view." Zen said, looking up. He could see Kitsuna surrounded by pink flowers while being illuminated by the skyline.
"I know, right?" Kitsuna said, having crossed her arms behind her back.
"That's not the view I was talking about." Zen said.
Kitsuna looked up to see Zen staring at her. She blushed.
"Hey now, that's not necessary." Kitsuna said, looking down. She was smiling.
"How'd you find this place?" Zen asked.
"Well, one day while we were on our way home, I saw what looked like a garden on top of the building. The next day, I came and checked it out. Turns out, the building's been abandoned. Don't know why." Kitsuna explained.
"That's a bit odd." Zen said.
"Yeah. But I thought it was really pretty and I wanted to share it with you." Kitsuna said.
"I'm glad you did. Where else am I gonna such a gorgeous sight?" Zen said, making Kitsuna blush harder than before.
"Zen, you're such a flatterer." Kitsuna said, walking up to him.
Lemon starts.
Zen wrapped his arms around Kitsuna. They embraced, their lips locking together. Their love and lust for each other grew more intense, as they quickly began removing each other's clothes. Zen began rubbing and messaging Kitsuna's breasts, while Kitsuna ran her hand down towards Zen's member. They groped each other for a while before pulling apart.
"Zen, I want you to take my first time." Kitsuna said, red in the face.
"You'll be my first, too, Kitsuna." Zen said, laying her down. Kitsuna had seemingly prepared for this, as she had brought a blanket.
"Just, be gentle, please." Kitsuna said.
"I'll try. But, you'll probably feel to good for me to keep my sanity." Zen said making Kitsuna blush harder.
Zen aligned himself with Kitsuna's entrance. He pushed in, eventually reaching her hymen. He broke through.
"Owwwww!" Kitsuna yelped out. She reached up and hugged Zen, tightening her grip on him.
"Are you okay?" Zen asked.
"That really hurt." Kitsuna said.
"I'm sorry, Kitsuna." Zen said, hugging her. He had pulled her up into a seated position.
Zen could feel Kitsuna begin to become reckless. She started moving her hips a bit.
"What are you doing?" Zen asked, still a bit worried.
"Forcing myself to get used to it." Kitsuna said, wincing.
"Hey, you don't need to do that!" Zen said, slightly pushing her up with his hands, trying to get her off.
"No. I want to." Kitsuna said.
"But why? I don't want you to get hurt." Zen said.
"Because I love you." Kitsuna said, looking into Zen's eyes. She moved forward to kiss him again.
Kitsuna then began moving, feeling pleasure this time. She started to moan as Zen realized she was now enjoying it. He started to move a bit too, thrusting upward. Zen quickly came to an orgasm.
"Kitsuna, I'm gonna cum." Zen said, trying to hold back.
"Just cum inside. I wanna feel it in me." Kitsuna told him.
Zen then let loose, putting everything into Kitsuna. He could feel his energy draining, but saw something that forced his energy back into him. He saw Kitsuna, her face full of euphoria.
"Kitsuna, I love you too." Zen finally said back.
"What?" Kitsuna said, caught off guard.
Zen moved Kitsuna down, laying her back onto the blanket. She looked up at him as she saw his eyes glow, turning purple as well.
"Zen, why did your eyes just change color?" Kitsuna asked, a bit scared he was going to shock her.
"I'm excited. I saw something just so beautiful. I can't hold myself back." Zen said.
Zen started thrusting into Kitsuna. Small, harmless jokts electricity passed through Zen and into Kitsuna, sending her nerves into overdrive. She felt Zen's thrusting ten times more than before. Kitsuna came to orgasm from the sudden jolt.
"Zen. Zen! I'm cumming! Cumming!" Kitsuna said, her face filling with orgasmic pleasure.
"Woah. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that." Zen said, realizing what he did.
"No, that's, that's just, fine. That felt really good." Kitsuna said, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
"Do you want me to keep doing that?" Zen asked.
"Yes." Kitsuna said.
They went at it for a few more rounds, Kitsuna becoming addicted to the use of Zen's electricity. After a while, they stopped. They layed on the blanket, staring up at the stars. Kitsuna was curled up to Zen, who was holding her tightly. He kissed her neck, softly sucking on it, leaving a mark. She did the same to him. A few hours later, they both got up and got dressed.
Lemon ends.
"Thank you for this. It was an amazing experience." Zen said.
"It was for me too." Kitsuna said, hiding her face behind her backpack
Zen walked over to her and kissed her cheek. She smiled. They jumped down off the buildings, making their way back to the train station. They boarded the train and went home. Before Kitsuna got off at her stop, Zen kissed her lips again, saying goodbye. When Zen finally got home, his parents were watching a movie in the family room.
"Hey, son, how's your day?" Hijiku asked, turning to look at Zen.
"It was, uh, great." Zen said, catching his own stuttering. He smiled.
Hijiku recognized the look on Zen's face, as well as the glow about him. He didn't say anything. Zen grabbed some food and went to his room. Hijiku tapped Yuko's shoulder, who was laying against him.
"Yes, darling?" Yuko asked, looking at her husband.
"I'm pretty sure Zen just lost his virginity." Hijiku said. Yuko had just taken a sip of water. A sip of water that she spit out.
"What?!" Yuko exclaimed, sitting up.
"Shhhh. Don't alert him." Hijiku said, pressing a finger to her lips.
"What makes you say that!" Yuko half whispered.
"The look about him, the glow. When it happened to me, I had that same look." Hijiku explained.
"Are you sure?" Yuko asked.
"Positive." Hijiku said.
"Should we give him the talk?" Yuko asked.
"I think it's a bit late for that. Plus, Zen's smart. He doesn't really need it. You also don't want to embarrass him." Hijiku said.
"Okay, Hijiku. I'm gonna trust you on this." Yuko said, laying back down on Hijiku. He kissed the top of her head.
Later that night, Yuko went to Zen's room. He was sitting at his desk, deep in thought. He began drawing up some blueprints to further enhance his hero outfit, as well as Kitsuna's. Yuko then saw the mark on Zen's neck, confirming Hijiku's theory. She knocked on the door frame. Zen turned to her.
"Hey, Mom." Zen said, glancing over at her.
"Hey, sweetie. How was your night?" Yuko asked.
"It was good." Zen responded.
"Were you hanging out with Kitsuna?" Yuko asked. She noticed Zen stop drawing for a second.
"Yes ma'am. We had a little date, hung out at the mall." Zen lied.
"Okay. As long as you're keeping out of trouble." Yuko said.
"I try to." Zen said.
"Alright. Good night, honey." Yuko said, walking over and kissing Zen's forehead.
"Good night, Mom." Zen said, hugging her.
Zen stayed up, refining his thoughts for the outfit upgrades, before finally going to bed.
The next morning, Zen did his best to cover up the mark left on his neck by Kitsuna, who had texted him, telling him to do so. Zen then left for school after a spot of breakfast. The first half was a normal high school day. The next half was more Quirk training. Zen decided to make another Super Move. He got Cementoss to form another stone pillar in front of him.
"Alright, let's try this." Zen said aloud, stretching his arms.
He reached his hand out, holding his wrist. Fire formed in his hand before being condensed in his palm. He could feel the pressure building quickly, a sizzling noise coming from his hand. Zen then unleashed the fire.
"Compression Blast." Zen said, as the fire shot out like an explosion. It destroyed the pillar. "Good."
"Do you ever do anything that isn't cool." Ketsugi said, putting his arm around Zen. Yui was close behind him.
"I've got people to protect, so I'm gonna make sure I'm the absolute strongest I can be. To protect them." Zen said out of nowhere.
"Woah. What's up with you?" Ketsugi asked, taken aback by the sudden words.
"Sorry about that. I got lost in thought for a moment." Zen apologized.
"It's all good." Ketsugi said.
"Hey, Zen, could you help me with something?" Yui asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" Zen asked.
"I heard how you upgraded all of your gear and I was wondering if you could tinker with mine a bit." Yui said.
"Oh, definitely. What were you thinking?" Zen asked.
"I wanted to put some range in my fighting, and I thought that having some magnetized projectiles would work." Yui answered.
"Okay. Gloves with magnetic properties. Should be easy enough." Zen said.
"Well I can't wear gloves or my Quirk won't activate properly." Yui said. Zen looked at her arms and saw bracers.
"Oh, okay. Bracers then. Got it. Hand 'em here and I can get that done." Zen said. Yui gave him her bracers.
"Thank you." Yui said as Zen began walking out of the gym.
"No problem." Zen said, waving to her.
"What'd you think that was all about?" Ketsugi said to Yui, talking about Zen's declaration.
"I think something happened with him and Kitsuna. She was also acting a bit strange earlier." Yui remarked.
"Hmm." Ketsugi let out, thinking.
At the Development Studio, Power Loader welcomed Zen back. Zen quickly got to work on Yui's bracers. He also set up another chip to download the vision software for Kitsuna's goggles. He focused on the bracers first, setting up a small device on the outsides that would magnetize a metal ball once tagged. He added a small half finger cover for each index finger, with a button to activate the magnetization. Zen then gathered the perfect selection of metals to form magnetic balls. He tested the bracers out, realizing that he needed to adjust the speed at which the balls come back. He lowered the magnet's strength. Zen had to test and lower the gauntlets a few times before finally getting them right.
"Finally. Damn." Zen said, catching the ball. He shook his hand, having become a bit sore from getting hit over and over.
He took the bracers off and set them aside. Pulling Kitsuna's goggles from his bag, he set them up and began working on the necessary tech to turn them into super goggles. The software finished downloading while he was still working on the insides for the goggles. After a bit, he finally finished. The lenses did the same wipe that his did. He put them on, testing them out. A perfect replication. Zen then returned to the gym, giving Kitsuna and Yui their gear back. They both tested them out, amazed at how well they worked.
"Alright, Zen, now that you're out of the Development Studio, it's time you saw our Super Moves." Ketsugi said.
"I've got my second one, now." Yui said, holding up her newly upgraded gear.
"Yeah, you've only been in here to test two moves, then dipped." Kyosuke said, having made his way to the trio.
"Sorry guys. I got in an inventive mood." Zen said apologetically.
"Yeah, yeah. Time for some Super Move action." Kyosuke said, activating his Quirk.
"Let's see what you got." Zen said, standing back.
Cementoss formed a human-sized pillar in front of Kyosuke. Kyosuke shot his tendrils at the pillar, ripping it from the ground.
"Leviathan's Cruelty." Kyosuke said, as he began smashing it down and around, even striking it with other tendrils.
By the time Kyosuke was done, the pillar looked ready to crumble. When he set it down, it did fall to pieces.
"Wow." Zen said. "I bet that'd hurt."
"I've also developed a multi-target trap." Kyosuke said.
"I can't wait to see that in action." Zen said.
"Alright, my turn." Yui said, excited to test out her new Super Move.
She asked Cementoss to make another stone pillar, which he did. Yui tossed one of the metal balls into the air after tagging it. When it came back down, Yui activated her Quirk, aiming at the pillar.
"Steel Arrow." Yui said, the metal ball launching at the pillar. It shattered the pillar. "Woah. This works better than I thought it would."
"That was sick!" Ketsugi said.
"That's some real force you can put in there." Zen said.
"Thanks." Yui said, activated the magnetization. The ball came back to her. "Ooh, Ketsugi, show him your move! It's really cool!"
"Alright." Ketsugi said, preparing himself.
Cementoss made one last stone pillar. Ketsugi got into a runner position. He then blitzed the pillar, using all five of his pivots.
"Absolute Kick!" Ketsugi said, striking the pillar with his foot. For a moment, the pillar looked like it had received a clean slice. It then fell apart.
"Holy shit, Ketsugi. Now that's crazy." Zen said, fully impressed.
"Thanks, mate." Ketsugi said.
They spent the rest of the day training and talking. Kitsuna eventually joined them, acting clingier towards Zen than usual. The next few days were spent continuing their training. All their preparation led them to the Provisional Hero License Exam.
