Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Palm of My hand. Enjoy the 8100-word chapter. I don't own MHA, Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi, and a few others do.
Kendo slowly started to pack her bags. She knew there would be a lot of new clothes and U.A. would take care of any sort of needs the children had. Still? Even if Itsuka wasn't the type to regularly take things so seriously? Well, she'd manage to relax more and more at the end of the day once she settled into her new loggings.
Yes, today would be a very awesome day for heroes and she hoped to share it with everyone.
She turned to her parents who were already preparing a giant hug to the girl who barely managed not to crush them as if they were specks of dust in the palm of her hand. She smiled and let them pass by.
"Let us know if there is anything you need, ok? Anything at all and we will bring it, sweetie." Kendo heard from her parents as she rolled her eyes but returned the gesture as if too amused by anything else to relax.
It was just more and more embarrassing to them than to her. She still returned the hug at the end of the time being and it was far too nice for now.
"Mom, I'll be fine, I'm always fine. I've been fine for a while." Kendo stated before she clicked her tongue and smiled before grabbing her bag and slowly starting to run towards the other side of the city.
"STAY SAFE!" Kendo heard from her parents as she rolled her eyes and slowly started to look around before breaking into a run at the end of the day.
There was a lot more amusement at the end of the day. She did manage to relax at the end of the day. it would be a nice little distraction at the end of the day when push came to shove and she was far stronger than she looked.
Sides, she needed the exercise to practice and rehearse what she'd tell all of her class. It was just more and more of an amusing thing at the end of the day and it was clear more and more of a nice little thing in her mind as she clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, utterly tired, eager to try and relax about such odds.
What would her new classmates think of her? What would they say about her? Did they have any important type of skills or quirks she could talk about? She didn't know but she wanted to and Itsuka was eager to just meet them. At least then she'd be able to talk and relax around them at the end of the day. There was a lot more to discuss at the end of the day.
Still? She was a tired woman and she clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, flexing her fingers as she was tired and yet utterly eager to throw her weight around, tired at the end of the day when push came to shove.
It was a lot more work than she believed it was. Itsuka was simply eager to have new allies on them. So much to need to work through and in so little time at the end of the day.
Itsuka was silent, utterly baffled before she clicked her fingers and she started to drum her fingers on the straps of her backpack before she looked to the side.
"Huh, I guess our neighbors also got into U.A." Itsuka stated before she blinked and wondered if more and more tired at the end of the time being.
She looked at the door as if wondering if she could see her classmate which meant something.
She was utterly silent and curious at the moment if she could befriend them. There was always a nicer way to make school easier if you had friends… Plus it was going to be a few hours before she was welcomed into U.A. which meant she and her classmates would be going through orientation and allowed to relax.
The door opened and was shut as soon as it was opened and Kendo was greeted by a boy who held a teal hoodie, torn jeans that seemed to have flames upon them, and blue gloves with teal sneakers. He looked around before noticing Kendo who simply waved.
He went to speak when something dripped from his fingers. water, very blue which coated the sidewalk and caused him to adjust a dial on his glove to stop more from leaking.
"Hiya!" Itsuka said as the boy slowly walked towards her.
"Hey… You're our neighbor, right?" Itsuka asked before she got a nod and looked downwards before blinking as she realized just how much he looked weird.
"Yeah, Itsuka Kendo, just accepted into U.A.," Itsuka said as the boy tilted his head, more water appearing from just under the outline of his clothes. "You? I'm also going to guess you have a water quirk?" Itsuka questioned as she looked at the droplets of water.
"Yeah… I'm just getting used to being accepted… I'm sorry, I'm Shou. Shou Rio. We just moved here… And my family is still getting over the fact I was accepted into U.A. when we moved." The boy said before more water dropped onto the ground.
Shou fell silent, utterly angry and unamused, unsure of what to say considering the water falling to the ground was something he had little control over. It spun out from under his shirt, almost like a blade as if he was trying to control it but he couldn't obviously, nothing would have allowed it to get the way it was.
Itsuka didn't appear thrown off by it which confused him more and more at the end of the time being and yet? Well. It was odd, always odd to him, and confusing at the end of the day to him more and more, and felt more and more tired at the end of the time at the end of the day.
There was more water which slowly started to float above the palm of his hand. He quickly waved his hand which sent water flying away from him as he sighed, utterly tired at the moment and unsure of it all.
He sighed to himself and looked back at Kendo who watched with interest as he sighed and looked to the side. He was utterly curious about her quirk as well as he seemed to notice her fists were bigger than usual. It was curious more and more to him than it usually was and it was tiresome to him at the end of the day.
He crossed his arms as more water slowly started to flow across his arms and looked upwards into the air as he blinked, more and more exhausted by dealing with his quirk. There was more to this sort of thing than he could see.
He didn't want to try and deal with it more than usual at the end of the day. There was all too much on the line and far too much for him to relax… Something he couldn't do at the end of the time as he was all too scared and ashamed of it.
"What's your quirk then? You don't seem to have one I can see… Unless it's the fact your hands are a bit bigger." She heard as she shrugged and looked down at the ground.
"It is, but's a bit weirder than that… Just have really big hands with a lot of power behind them. I think my muscles got stronger along with them as a result." Itsuka said as she activated her quirk and watched her fists bulk upwards and become fascinated at the end of the day, curious only about what may or may come down to it and what was coming next.
It was nice but nice things didn't always last and he knew that more than anything or anyone at the end of the time being and understanding what to say or do.
There was very little that worried Shou at the end of the day. still? so much changed and stayed the same, there was a lot more to grow upon now, a lot more to try and deal with at the end of the day.
Still? Kendo was all too ready to try and focus on the day and it became worse and worse at the end of the day.
He was utterly silent before he looked downwards and then back at Itsuka who was still smiling, unsure of what to say and do before it was all over. He did not back down from the ability to talk, just a bit unsure at the end of the day. There was a lot more to this at the end of the day, curious as to how it was said and done…
He didn't at all know what to do when it came to it at the end of the time. There was a lot more to try and handle at the second when it was all over at the end of the day.
There was a lot more on the line and it seemed to be more and more hopeful at the end of the day. A lot more hopeful, interesting, and hopeful all at the same time, it was odd and it was nice but it all would just add to the fear inside him at the end of the day… So much went into his mind and so little stayed there.
"Hey, are you ok?" Itsuka asked before she looked into the sky as more and more waterdrops slowly started to look upwards into the sky.
Itsuka was unsure of what to say or what to do next as she looked at him, utterly shaken up at the moment before she fell just silent and slowly watched Shou start to walk away, scared more than embarrassed and a bit unsure of him.
"No, not entirely." Itsuka heard as she fell silent, walking up to him a few seconds later as he looked around.
She hummed and then playfully tapped his side, making Shou turn to her and blink at how close she was. it was clear more and more she wanted to try and say something that she may believe he'd enjoy and it was clear more or less he was not bothered so much by this as he was by the fact that she was slightly driving him up a wall.
Shou turned, utterly scared at the end of the day but still talking to her as if he was slowly worn down at the end of the day.
"Yeah, I just don't like my quirk. I constantly have to deal with the fact that I can't control my quirk at times. It causes a lot of trouble trying to deal with." Shou stated before he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
"So, you need to keep trying to deal with the fact your quirk constantly gets messed up?" Itsuka asked before Shou nodded.
"Well, it's more the fact that I constantly lose control and constantly need to deal with how weird it is… Water is constantly drawn to me and I can use almost any water I find… But it's not fun, I can't control it to the massive degree I want to." Shou stated before he sighed.
"And there's no downside to it all?" Itsuka questioned before Shou hummed.
"There is one, there's always one. I dry out and I constantly get thirsty if I use too much… Makes me sick." Shou stated before he clicked his fingers and more water slowly started to fly around his hands.
Shou crossed his arms as water slowly started to float around his hands. He was utterly tired, unsure of what to tell her, and not at all eager to try and handle… A lot more, something that could only be handled sometime soon, and it became harder and harder to handle than anything else on his mind and it was all too odd at the moment, unsure of what to do at the end of the time when it came down to it.
Still? More and more did he manage what to do at the end of the time being and there was more and more at the end of the day did it continue to drag him up a wall and around it.
"So, what now? you going to walk with me all the way there or…?" Shou asked before he slowly started to look backward at her and fell silent.
There was a lot more to try and do and this… Wasn't going to be easy on him and he could tell for now, over and over did he get scared. It was just too much for him at the end of the day and it was just becoming more and more tiresome.
"Are you ok with it if I do?" Itsuka asked before shrugging to herself. "I have to go there as well, might as well go together, don't you?" Itsuka asked as Shou shrugged.
"No, just a bit curious. I have a lot of reasons to be more and more terrified at the end of the day. There was a lot to try and figure out at the end of the day." Itsuka stated to which Itsuka was entirely silent to them at the end of the day.
There was a lot more at the end of the time being and there was a lot more to understand, something that needed to get over and over upon at the time being. Itsuka stopped next to him, utterly unsure but yet not at all willing to back down and something that could continue.
"So, water quirk?" Kendo asked before Shou nodded before he smiled and slowly started to walk upwards and towards U.A.
"Yes, it's very versatile but it's very hard to try and understand at the end of the day. I don't even know how it works, it's just worse and worse. We need to get going at the end of the day, though…." Shou stated before he slowly started to hum.
"It's going to be a very long walk without being allowed to use powers. I don't like getting to use at the end of the day and yet I want to be able to at the moment." Shou stated before he was all too amused at the end of the day.
He was utterly unsure of what to tell her, utterly baffled and utterly thrown off. this seemed to bother him less and less. This seemed to be a lot worse at the time being as they were all curious to focus upon at the time being.
He was utterly unsure, slowly starting to run his fingers over one of the particles of water when it was all said and done, more had to be done.
So much did it become odd that it almost seemed as if they were messing with him constantly as if he was being thrown for a loop at the moment? She smiled at him in a very reassuring fashion, constantly showing him that despite what she thought? They were good friends and it constantly made him ponder just what to expect at school.
Still? There was a lot of walking to do and it became more and more to try and such at the end of the day.
"So? Is there a reason your fists grow big? Maybe your muscles bulk up or it makes your arms bigger and your fists just get bigger as a result?" Itsuka heard to which she shrugged.
"I don't know, we haven't gone to a doctor and asked them," Itsuka responded before she hummed. "It's really hard to try and focus on it but it's cool. I don't know what it's like but I want to be a hero, really want to make a difference at the time being." Itsuka stated before she looked around and slowly started to smirk at him. "What about you? Ever wanted to be a hero for a reason? You wanted something to make a difference?" Itsuka stated before she slowly started to think about certain issues.
He shrugged before he clicked his fingers against one another before she slowly started to hum, clicking her fingers against the back of her backpack before she slowly started to walk away.
Itsuka slowly started to tap him on the shoulder before she clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth and tilted her head before she tilted her head.
"I want to try and make sure people won't have to go through life fearing what's going happily at the end of the day," Shou said before he sighed and looked towards the ground. "There are a lot of reasons to be a hero. I want to make sure people can go about their lives without constantly worrying about something terrifying going on." Shou stated before he shrugged.
"So, you want to defend the innocent because you don't want them to have to worry?" Itsuka asked before she rubbed at her chin, utterly tired.
There were a few seconds of contemplation at the end as both of them were eager to try and find common ground and were eager to stay in contemplation all the same. It wasn't out of fear on Shou's end that he didn't wish to speak to Itsuka, merely more and more that he didn't want to embarrass himself around another would-be hero.
He'd probably have this woman as his classmate the entire time and it would mean if he said something stupid, he'd be stuck with that until he died sooner or later.
She needed to relax at the time being, this was just more and more interesting at the time being. they had a lot more to do when they reached the school either way and it was just more to juggle and more to deal with. It was too much at times and would always be so, always in every way.
It was just a lot more to try and take in and it was just boggling his brain over and over and over again until he screamed into the void at the moment, utterly unsure, utterly thrown off by it all, and yet? He didn't want to stop, he didn't want to back down, utterly scared by what would come next, unsure of what may or may not come or anything else.
It'd become a nice little oddity to deal with at the end of the week, they were entirely thrown off by the fact that the other chose not to speak. Neither had words the other wanted to hear nor would they be ok anytime soon.
They had a lot more to deal with than it all and he clicked his tongue utterly unsure of what to do next. Kendo looked over at Shou who was silent, looking at the ground and unsure what to say or do.
"Are you going to look forward to being at U.A. or did you not want to be there? There are a few other schools around that accept people with powers." Kendo said as Shou turned and looked to the side.
"U.A. is the most… Down to Earth school here for people. Most of the others are very… Strict, you know." Shou stated before he hummed.
"There's a lot more to see and do at them, though," Kendo said before Shou shook his head and looked at her.
"No, not really. I heard they're very dull, it wouldn't be as fun as you think and I don't want to stay at a school that dislikes hero costumes being flashy and colorful." Shou stated before he sighed.
"Oh, good point. I didn't think of it like that." Kendo stated before she tapped her chin. "Well, if it's a cool school? They should have a lot of cool students, right?" Kendo said as Shou shrugged.
"Don't know," Shou said. "I do know it's going to be tough. Unique students just mean they're not going to hold anything back at all. They won't have to; people will be trying harder to get in meaning they will try harder to make sure those people are cream of the crop." Shou stated.
"So, it's going to be hard to try and deal with it, right?" Kendo said to which Shou nodded.
"I don't at all know if I'm honest, I don't want to try and jinx it but I won't lie and say written in stone, Itsuka. All I know is it's going to be rough, very rough; it's not going to be something I want to try. I wouldn't be able to tell you if it's something that I can gel with that." Shou stated before he looked upwards into the sky.
He didn't know what to try and say, it was a lot more nerve-wracking to him than he what it'd bring at the time being and it would probably be this way for a longer time than he was good with.
He didn't want to think about it as bad but he was still thrown off, still left in disarray at the end of the day.
He seemed to be more and more utterly tired at the moment before he looked down at the ground, questioning what to do next and how well he could react to it all. This was just too much to try to focus more and more at the time.
He was too thrown off by it all at the time and he managed to click his fingers, water thrown into the air, utterly unsure of what to do next at the time being.
He slowly started to find some peace at the moment, he was all too unsure of what to do next. This became amusing to Kendo as she drummed her fingers on her legs before she looked upwards and into the sky.
"It will be fun, you know. You can think of U.A. like it's a summer camp or maybe hero homework." Kendo stated as Shou hummed and looked to the side, a roll of his eyes coming later as he did so.
"I don't think heroes like homework, Itsuka. I just don't think that with all due respect. You just shouldn't not really." Shou joked as Kendo hummed.
"Dude, nobody likes homework, that doesn't mean we don't have to suck it up," Kendo said before she slowly started to think more and more about what was coming next and how well it'd be at the time being.
"Well, I don't want to know what to think of at the end of the day. Hero homework is exhausting at the end of the day, you know." Shou stated before he slowly started to scratch at his chin.
He smirked more and more at her joke as the two tried to think more and more of what to say next and he was worn down by how tiresome it was at the moment. He didn't even seem that bored by how little there was to discuss next and yet? He seemed tired if anything and yet he was all too amused at the moment if anything.
Shou clicked his fingers before slowly starting to yawn, his mouth opening for a few seconds.
Kendo simply rolled her eyes to herself and she was too happy just to let him think about what to say next. She knew more and more that Shou was utterly tired, and amused while he clicked his fingers and small globules of water floated around his hands.
The two heroes in training slowly began to think more and more for now. Itsuka enlarged her fists and slowly looked up into the sky before looking over at Shou before he tapped on the straps upon his back and looked upwards and into the sky. He was amused more and more that he needed to ensure about himself as he slowly started to fall utterly bored with it all.
There was far too much to try and understand at the end of the day and he seemed to be more and more scared of the day. he was utterly too confused at the end of the day and he seemed to be all too ready to deal with it. There was too much to try and handle at the time as he clicked his fingers against one another.
"Are you going to be ok at the end of the day? You seem pretty shaken up." Kendo stated before he slowly started to try and think of what to do next. "School is probably going to be tough but it's not fun," Kendo said before he seemed to be utterly silent.
"Yes, I'm just busy to try and think of what to do next. It's not easy to deal with being a superhero. You got a lot of responsibility. It's just harder and harder to deal with and all you can do is hope for the best." Shou stated before he shrugged, his shoulders rising and falling in equal measure.
He didn't at all know what she'd do and he didn't want to at the end of the day. This became harder and harder to deal with at the end of the day and he knew it more and more as he slowly began to think of what to do at the end of the day.
Kendo hummed while she looked downwards at the ground. She drummed her fingers on her legs, too tired and too spellbound by it all at the turn of the century.
She balled up her hands and looked at Shou who was busy trying to think of something, utterly exhausted but still something that he needed to worry about when it came down to it.
There was just too much on his mind and it drove him up a damn wall with insanity. He didn't even want to try and ponder it but yet? Shou was not at all stupid to imagine things were so easily dealt with.
He was poked in the side and stumbled for a bit as he slowly started to look down at the ground. He looked over at her and raised an eyebrow as of now, looking at her enlarged fists with interest.
"Your quirk is really interesting, you know that?" Kendo heard from Shou as he slowly smirked. "How are your fists able to do that? I'm really curious at the moment and it's cool." Shou said before he cracked his fingers as he slowly started to try and understand what to do at the end.
He cracked his fingers as water slowly started to flow around his fingers before he looked upwards and into the sky as he seemed to be more and more tired.
He was all too amused to try and handle it at the moment while he cracked his fingers and crossed his arms before he seemed to be utterly tiresome.
Shou let out a yawn and poked out her giant fists as he seemed to be utterly sure of himself as he clicked his fingers and hummed, huffing once more.
Kendo simply rolled her eyes at her friend, amused but not at all unsure of what to do next when it came down to it. She seemed to be a lot more unsure of it all while she was unsure of what to do next.
Kendo was too sure of what to try and understand at the moment. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she crossed her arms and rubbed at her temples while she clicked her fingers together.
She was interested to try and focus upon it at the time as she was utterly baffled by it all as he snapped his next fingers.
This was more and more and more tiresome for the time being as she clicked her fingers as well and it was all too much to try and understand as she was bored at the end of the day.
This was all too much to try and focus upon it at the moment as both Jedi more and more of them to try and focus upon such problems as they knew it would become harder and harder with each passing second.
"Are you going to be, ok? There's a lot more to try and think about at the end of the day, isn't there? Wait, I said that already, is, no?" Itsuka asked before she slowly started to try and understand.
"Maybe, but we're dealing with a lot more tests at the end of the day. I don't know what to tell you as it's all said and done." Shou stated before humming upwards and into the sky.
This was all too much to try and handle as he seemed more and more at the time. Both heroes seemed to be in awe of the sky as they walked forwards and more water flowed towards him as he seemed to be more and more bored at the end of the time being as she looked more and more curious.
"This city is really weird, you know. Like really weird with all due respect. I can't get my head around how weird everything is and it just kinda drives us." Shou stated before he watched more water float around his hands. "Damn it, my quirk constantly makes things weird. I don't know why it keeps doing this but it's bugging me constantly. All the water and all control over it with zero of the understanding in how it works and all that." Shou said before he sighed and looked upwards.
He was not so much eager to try and fix it, however. They were a lot more focused at the time being and more and more unsure of what to try and do next, he wanted to be surer he was prepared to deal with them at the moment.
Shou watched as water flowed around his hands, droplets of raw liquid slowly yet surely floating up and into the sky, all driven by an urge to form orbs within the palms of his hands as he did so.
Yes, all it did was make him tire, driven by something bigger than himself, more than what he was and could have been or would have been… So much did he find it to be relaxing that he almost wanted to laugh at the end of it all.
He looked upwards and into the sky, all too prepared for the worst of the worst. He was shaken by it as Kendo poked him in the side, reminding him that he was going to bat with someone else.
He saw a partner who could handle it far better than he could. He rubbed at his chin, utterly baffled by it all. A hero, utterly thrown down by it all. He needed to be prepared for the worst, utterly unsure of what to do next.
"Are you going to be, ok? I'm sorry I always ask that all the time, we got a lot more to try and deal with at the time being… It's odd." Shou asked, holding up his hands to glance at the water pooling around his hands in shock.
"Yes, I'm just a bit curious," Kendo said as she hummed and glanced upwards and into the sky.
"Then what do you plan to do next? We got a lot of time before we can get to school and it will be a while before we get to school." Shou stated before he slowly started to yawn.
"Don't know, we got a lot more homework to look forwards to," Kendo said as Shou smiled.
"Well, it's a lot nicer to talk with heroes…. I don't even know what I'm going to do as a hero while I'm there at the U.A. it will be nicer over just talking about it at the time being." Itsuka said before he clicked his tongue and sent all the water flying up into the sky.
He was amused more and more as he started to think of what he'd do as a hero only for more raindrops to fall onto their heads. He was too amused, too unsure and uncertain of himself, too eager to give up anytime soon, he knew that much more than anything.
"Do you… Always throw water up and into the air?" Kendo asked as she watched droplets of water rain down on their heads and held up her giant fists to protect her face.
"Sometimes, I just don't like dealing with all the water falling on my face sooner or later. It gets harder and harder with each passing second." Shou said as water slowly rained downwards on them.
He was tired, worn down all too much amused, all too unsure of himself.
This was harder to fathom at the end of the day and it drove him up a wall at the time of being. It wouldn't be easy for him to speak his piece but he also knew it wasn't impossible either. The only flaw in the logic was what it came down to next and how well it'd be around others, baffled more and more by the weight of each word coming from his mouth.
He knew more and more about it in his mind then it came down to it as he slowly started to try and think more and more at the end of the day.
Kendo didn't say anything either. Whether it was because of what he was being like, some idea of what he had been doing, or something else? He neither knew nor cared much at the end of it all, they were still in for the long haul either way and he'd have to get used to his classmates at some point or another.
It wasn't exactly like he hated them at all, nor did he wish to be enemies with a single person in the school for the simple reason of being socially awkward. If that was the case? He'd probably be in for a miserable time trying to fight everyone in school at the moment.
He clicked his jaw against the roof of his game as he seemed to try and understand what was coming next and could be coming next…. All it did was remind him that the more he tried to fight against it? The rougher a time he'd have on his hands.
Speaking of such a thing made him turn to look at Kendo's fists. It wasn't that he had never once seen a single thing even slightly comparable as his quirk was certainly just as odd if not odder. No, it was a simple fact that he didn't even know how it worked, Shou at least had someone tell him how they thought his water quirk worked and its capabilities in combat.
He still knew better than to ask, it would probably come off as him fishing for weakness and insulting her abilities as a hero which was the furthest thing from the truth. Shou stayed his tongue as they walked.
"Water is pretty cool even if you think it's weird, you can do a lot with it, and it's really easy to find," Kendo stated, watching Shou turn to her with an eyebrow raised. "It's not so bad. That can be a cool thing, just takes some getting used to, right?" Kendo asked as Shou hummed and shrugged.
"Maybe, it all depends on what you can do with your quirk and I can't exactly do a whole lot yet so there's just too much to deal with it at the time… Just way too much and way too little to do with my quirk so for now? It's just a big ball of nothing that I can move around at the end of the day." Shou said before he cracked his fingers and hummed.
She was all too amused by his antics, stopping to enlarge one of her fists before she looked down at the ground, there was a few seconds of silence before Shou decided to speak a few moments later.
"I like your quirk. It's neat. Are you planning on making a name based on your fists? I'm just curious if you plan on punching every bad guy." Shou said before he cracked his fingers. "I'm still working around the fact that I can use water. I know I can use it to cut things but… I don't want to cut someone in half." Shou said as Itsuka hummed.
Shou watched as she enlarged his hands. Shou hummed and raised his hands before he seemed to be able to relax, she grabbed his hands, her oversized fists gripping his smaller ones gently.
"Yeah, I do… See? You're not hurting me when it comes to it. I don't know what I want to do as a superhero. It's a very hard thing to punch bad guys who can shoot lasers and something else." Itsuka said before she looked down.
"Well, it's not for everyone, Kendo… You know. I'm kinda scared you might break my hands…. A little scared." Shou said as Mina giggled and looked down at the ground as she did so.
"It took 6 years of practice to get used to holding stuff without breaking it like this. I can break titanium if I want… Sorry, I'm just trying to show you how much control I have." Kendo said before Shou laughed.
Water floated around her fists as she did so, encapsulating her fists within a bubble the size of a small car.
"Huh, my quirk never let me do that," Shou said before he cracked his fingers and looked down at the ground as he did so. "You didn't answer my question about your career, you know. It's not often you get to do hero work like this." Shou said, smiling at her as he did so.
"Don't know. I don't plan on breaking people's heads open if that's what you think. It's not something I get to focus on, dude. I'm just waiting and seeing what's going to come next. Hard to deal with, really hard." Itsuka said before she looked down at the ground.
Shou looked up at his hands, too amused more and more by every single little thing around him, all of it seemed like a dream designed to be more and more effective as he sighed and took another breath. Her quirk was impressive and if he had any time to understand her quirk? He'd probably be able to draw up a rough estimate of what she could and couldn't do at the moment. It was still impressive either way.
He just wanted to know more and it was easier said than done at the moment as he looked down with sheer amusement.
What else could she do at such a time? What else was she going to be capable of in amazement of it all? He didn't know and yet part of him was still pushing against it at the time, over and over again did he push against his fear, his doubts within him like a drum.
All of it was something else, something harrowing for now. He was happy, at least a little bit as he doubted himself, doubted what he could and would do all the time. It made him far too uncertain for his good.
"You know, I could try and figure out your quirk for you. It'd be fun to try and understand how it works. Sides, they're going to ask one way or another and it isn't like the teachers won't bug us, it is what teachers do at the moment." Shou said as he drummed his hands on his legs.
"What, so like partners? You want to be superhero partners?" Kendo asked before Shou shrugged.
"Sure, it isn't as if we can do much else, and besides? I think I'm going to want to understand your quirk anyway." Shou said before he cracked his fingers.
It wasn't a lie as she looked up at her connected hands, it was just odder and odder to figure it all out. Everything about it screamed of something that he just couldn't at all seek to understand.
Shou looked up at her hands which were covered in a giant orb of water now, it was clear that their quirks were both far more powerful than they looked, something he didn't refute. She slowly yet surely removed her hands from the orb as it dropped down, soaking them to the bone.
"And THAT… That is why I hate my quirk at the moment. I do hate it at the moment just because it's annoying." Shou said before he sighed. "Hang on, I've got one trick I can…" Shou said before he raised his hands.
Kendo watched as her clothes, soaked with water slowly had every globule of water that hadn't drenched into the clothing float off their skin. He seemed to watch the water float into the sky, fascinated more and more.
"I'm still practicing to float the water soaked into clothes out of it… Ok, I'm going to be dehydrated the rest of the day no matter what I do until midnight." Shou stated before dropping the water into the street.
"Wait, that's how it works?" Kendo questioned before Shou nodded.
"Yes, it drains the water out of my body and the more I use it? the more exhausted I get… Even if I put more water into my body? it tends to still run dry within minutes… It's a lot like if someone sweats during the day." Shou stated as he rubbed at his temples while he seemed to be able to relax once more.
He was a lot more to try and figure out as of now. He didn't at all know what to try and understand at the moment and he was able to relax once more as he rubbed at his temples once more, he didn't at all prepare for what to do next.
All of it was nice, however. Very nice and soothing in a way he really and truly just couldn't and wouldn't be able to relax doing, all of it was horrendous more and more. Something he could and wouldn't allow at the moment as long as he lived.
"Hmm, maybe your customs can deal with that when it comes down to it? There's a lot of ways to try and get around it when it comes down to it." Kendo said before she looked down at the ground as she knew more and more that whatever she endeavored next.
Well, it wouldn't be pretty when push came to shove, something that could and would continue to be more and more fun. She didn't at all wish to relax and it was still something that could be amusing to someone if push came to shove and he knew it.
The silence was deafening and no less annoying than now to him, it felt like the drop of a bomb as he looked downwards at the ground, watching each drop of water on the ground. Every single drop on the sidewalk felt like a pinprick of blood.
Even she could see it as she knew he was trying and failing to relax. Not simply because he couldn't but because it made him curious, every single second that he was allowed to practice allowed him greater ease over his quirk, and he? Like it did at the moment.
Still? He was scared to death of losing control of it for even a moment, he liked to remember he could control it but that was also just like what he had done before and tried and failed to do.
It wasn't something he could afford to think about now and he knew it over and over again until the cows come home at the time.
"You're scared of not being a good hero, no? I can see you shaking. You know it isn't like we can't keep trying if we mess up, right? There's a lot of stuff their going to want us to do we might want us to. I don't think they're going to make it too hard on the new heroes just because." Kendo asked, shrugging as she did so.
"It's more about my quirk screwing up. I don't want it to but I know it will. I don't always have perfect control over it and it bugs me a lot not being able to handle it all." Shou said as she frowned.
She could tell he was unsure, uncertain of himself, his purpose, his desire to help others, and it tugged a cord within her, not just because she couldn't or wouldn't be able to help as of now. She knew she wanted to be able to help every single member of the team that she possibly could at the moment.
Well, it still tugged at them all the more as she tried and failed to stem the tide of fear within her comrades. Something about it all as he looked downwards at the ground while he seemed to be able to crack his fingers as Shou was to try and deal with as of now.
They had a lot more on his mind as Kendo slowly started to walk with him as both she and he continued towards the school. She gripped his hand as he hummed and seemed to try and deal with such problems.
He was able to try and figure to try and understand himself, looking downwards at the ground as they walked.
Kendo was silent before she did so, silent and silent more on the idea that something else was coming and it would be odd to discuss it here.
"What do you think the first day will be like? They probably have some type of orientation, maybe an obstacle course?" Kendo asked as Shou hummed and placed his hands in his pockets.
"None of it is going to make us better heroes so I don't know. Maybe they have us introduce each other and or such… It's all coming together over and over again when it was said and done for now." Itsuka heard as she looked downwards at the ground.
"Superhero school is going to be weird; you know. Very weird. I can't even imagine when they decided to try and market that worldwide." Shou said before he looked downwards at the ground, unable to fathom it.
She poked him in the side, unsure and unable to deal with it all, for now, there was a lot more upon his mind as she poked him in the side. He almost fell to the ground, unsure of himself once more as he looked downwards.
He still smirked, her playful nature was going to make him scream into the vapid darkness when it was all said and done and dusted.
He didn't at all understand anything. He did know Kendo was amusing him, poking him with fingers the size of a small tree. It amazed him that she'd have the ability to enlarge her fingers as he pondered doing something similar for now… What else could their abilities allow them to do? What else could go wrong at this very moment?
What else could go wrong? What else could he do for now? What else would they accomplish? He wanted a team, a group to try and deal with as he seemed to gasp every single option.
All of it bothered him, over and over again until then, dealing with a measure of mercy he had been bespoken for now and would grow more and more upon no.
If they were a team? Well, he'd relax, he'd bring it all down, see it end before now…. All of it ended today before something else came to an end for now.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that each chapter will be somewhat long. The next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will show more and more of Kendo and Shou talking and more about the villain and such. Until the 900–6500-word chapter. Lighting Wolf out!
