So this is a bit of a shorter chapter. Typically I try to post chapter with more then 2,500 words. Some of my chapter are below that but generally I post chapters between 2,500 and 3,000 words. This chapter goes in tandem with another chapter, but they are set apart by two weeks within the story and some stuff happens between those chapters.
So always I do not own MY HERO ACADEMIA or Marvel or any of their characters
With that, let's begin
1 Month before the UA Sports Festival.
Video #3: Start.
"Alright, due to some unforeseen events, school was canceled for a few days, so I was able to give my full attention to Project Hero Suit. And I think I've…" Izuku started walking into the frame. He was wearing his gauntlets, with the addition of boots. As he hadn't created the outer armor, the wireframes and all the wires were still visible, but Izuku had gotten good at making them all tidy. They were all bunched up together with zip ties, then run under to be hidden by Izuku's shirt and shorts, which all led to the green glow of his arc reactor.
"Ahem." Mei scoffed off camera; though she didn't do much to help Izuku, she still wanted recognition for the parts she did help with. Izuku obilged because he knew it was the only way Mei would shut up about it.
"Correction, 'We' have got it working. After several months, we finally have a working prototype for Repulsor Hoover Boots. Along with Mei Hatsumi, I would like to add Pro Hero All Might to the personnel that helped with this prototype." -Izuku noticed a surprised look appear on Mei's face- "Today will be test flight #1 of Mark 2 Repulsor Hoover Boots. Mei Hatsume is still on fire safety, though at this point, I think I would prefer Dummy. Also, this is the first video on UA Campus. We are in Gym Gamma. We only have a few minutes before some members of class 1-A arrive for some after-school training, and we have to leave.
"As always I'll be starting off at half mark back from center." Izuku walked to his start point, "Due to previous knowledge, we'll be starting with 2 % thrust and see if we can achieve lift. Starting in three… two… one." Izuku felt the repulsors beneath his feet hum for a bit, then begin to slowly lift him off the ground. The sound was almost deafening to Izuku, but when he got nearly a meter off the ground, the force coming out of his boots got enough space, and the sound quieted down. As Izuku hovered in the air, he struggled to keep his balance as his only points of stability were from his feet.
Which were directly underneath Izuku, not giving him much of an area of balance. Izuku came to sway back and forwards from the sense of instability, and this only worsened the problem. Then just as he leaned forward then kept going forwards, Izuku instinctively shot his hands forwards and said, "Gauntlets on, 2%."
The repulsors in his hands quickly powered on and began pushing against Izuku. Now that he had four points to pivot off of, Izuku was able to slowly bring him back to stand. "User error, as I should have realized that balance between two points would be nearly impossible. And it seems that using 2% on both my arms and my feet is enough to slowly increase my height." Izuku said, as he looked back and saw that the ground was slowly getting further and further away, "So I'll be decreasing my power to 1%."
Izuku felt the arc reactor begin to siphon off less of his body's electricity, and he was no longer being lifted. He was now over two meters above the ground, and he tried not to show his discomfort of being so high off the ground. He took a deep breath and slowly leaned forwards; while his feet went back, Izuku slowly brought his hands in front of him. He was able to slowly drift forward, and when he wanted to stop, he fully pointed his hands forward and brought his feet back around him.
Izuku smiled as he had a handle on hovering and moving around. He slowly glided around the marked-off area, becoming more and more confident in his ability the more time he spent in the air. He still panicked every once and a while, moving his arms and legs around, but for the most part, he was able to stay calm and collected.
This gave Izuku a sense of pride with a hint of cockiness, as he was able to achieve and overcome a roadblock that had been with him still first getting his father's blueprints. Hisashi's blueprint worked by themselves, and now Izuku had proven they could work as one. Izuku was now beyond his father's plans and was in uncharted territory. He could push the boundaries of what he could do. And what better way to do it than by looking cool?
Once Izuku was finished hovering around, instead of simply turning off his repulsors and dropping to the ground, Izuku wanted to test something out. So instead, Izuku cut all the power to his gauntlets while simultaneously increasing his boots and leaning forwards. This caused him to shoot forwards in a front flip then as his feet got close to the ground, Izuku cut the power from his boot. As he landed, he took a knee while throwing his right arm downwards and punched the ground. To the camera, it looked like he was doing a dramatic pose, but in all honesty, Izuku was just stopping himself from rolling forwards.
Izuku smiled as he stood up and brushed some dust off of his shirt, "Oh yeah, I can fly."
"Oi Taser. What the hell do you think you're doing here." An angry video called out. The shot the camera it got before it was turned off, was Izuku quickly turned and promptly running out of frame.
Video #3 End
So that's Chapter 19.
Next chapter will switching back to Gizon and Ochaco and how they handle coming back to school. For clarification, for story pacing this chapter was posted first, but the next chapter happen first. This chapter was in the afternoon of the Monday after the USJ attack, Chapter 20 happens in the morning.
