bopdog111: Well guys Ulrich said before he is interested in us trying a fic from this category.
Ulrich362: It's something I've never tried before but well... it might be interesting to give it a shot.
bopdog111: We've taken this a shot further by mixing it in with the series that isn't Yu-Gi-Oh the most.
Ulrich362: Well, second most if we don't include Yu-Gi-Oh! but fair enough. Of course there's only one way to know how it'll go. Enjoy the chapter... oh and for this story it'll be using Minako Arisato and not Minato right Bopdog?
bopdog111: Yup, and you'll all find out why later on.
Ulrich362: Well, with that said enjoy the chapter.

Principal Tatsumi couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't often Aldera Junior High gets thrown into meetings with big deals like the two woman he, and his facility staff were scheduled too meet. This is the most important year for his star pupil, Katsuki Bakugo, for his chance to grace U.A. High with his presence, and he wants this year to through smoothly but it wasn't even a week, and he had gotten a call from the school board about a company CEO wanting to arrange a staff meeting for her to enroll her son, and set some... 'guidelines' as his superior called them.
He isn't quite sure why exactly she would want to enroll her child to here. Aldera is... rusty if that can be the right word, and too plain, and normal, no one would recognize him. He probably figures that she wants to set an example that no-one should worship the ground he's on which in his own opinion is pretty dumb, if your seen as nothing you ARE nothing. That much is probably said over the troubled child, Izuku Midoriya, or DEKU. Useless Quirkless Brat...
But this isn't the time to deal with grudges over the Quirkless. He has to know these guidelines, and what kind of child this CEO's son is before making any calls so he, and the facility are waiting for them while some looked bored, and sleepy wanting to do anything else but attend this meeting. He can't really blame them as there way to busy or have more important things then stuff as trivial as this. Soon enough the all too familiar sound of an intercom beeped.
"Principal Tatsumi sir, miss Kirijo is here for your meeting. Should I send her and her friend in?" inquired a bored and clearly frustrated female voice with a clear tone she would rather be doing anything else.
"Send her in." the bored principal gave the approval with a sigh straightening himself up to look professional while not telling the rest of staff to look professional but they follow his lead.
Soon enough a young red-haired woman wearing a business suit and a fur coat walked in along with a slightly younger looking woman with teal hair holding a laptop.
"Bonjour, I appreciate you taking the time to meet with us Tatsumi-san." the red-haired woman noted with a calm professionalism as she met his eyes. "I assume you know why Yamagishi and I are here?"
"Yes the school board already informed me about the decision about your son attending Aldera Junior." Principal Tatsumi noted over confirming he does know before turning to the teal haired woman. "And you are...?"
"Fuuka Kirijo, Mitsuru's wife. Actually we've worked together since we were in high school." she smiled at Mitsuru while saying that before checking something on her computer and frowning. "Actually, I spoke with you on the phone about this meeting the other day, about Tetsuo enrolling as a student here?"
"Oh that was you?" the principal rubbed his head do recalling he spoke with a woman about Mitsuru's (and Fuuka's) son being enrolled, and now seeing she was the same woman. "Things have been tense as of late so you can forgive me for not remembering you, Kirijo-san." Well there are other things aside from tense times which deals with having to handle any kind of scuffle Deku gets into while making sure Bakugo's last year runs smoothly with no record attached so there are other things that caught his attention more then this enrollment from a CEO.
Mitsuru's eyes narrowed seeing his attitude before nodding. "I understand, both inside your school and out... I assume you've been teaching humility and discipline for your students in regard to their quirks as well? There's been an unacceptable rise in criminal activities using them as of late."
"Well-"
"There's absolutely no need to worry Kirijo-kun, we assure you we have absolutely no problems." spoke Mura-sensei, a teacher who's quirk can extend his hands with controlled strings from his wrists. "We have one student who behaves really well, and he also has a really amazing Quirk fitting for a hero. Katsuki Bakugo, he excels in his classes, and is caring towards his fellow classmates!"
"Yes, Bakugo-kun is amazing, there is no doubt." one of the previous bored teachers perked up at the mention of the student in question. "He will indeed be a fine hero, probably in the near future he will be the next All Might, that's much is for certain."
And OH GOD did Fuuka, and Mitsuru both had a suppress a wince hearing that. They seen this before too much praise will lead to a hard change of personality, and this Bakugo being told he'll be the next All Might will certainly set off some red flags.
The principal cleared his throat. "Teachers please." All the teachers quieted down as he looked over towards the two woman. "Sorry about that, it's true that our star pupil is Katsuki Bakugo, but let me assure you your son will not have any problems, I think Bakugo-kun will be a fine classmate for him to get along with."
"If you don't mind, just what kind of quirk does this Katsuki Bakugo have?" Mitsuru glanced at the gathered teachers as she asked that. "As I'm sure is publicly known my own quirk is a form of Cryokinesis and Fuuka has a sensory and telepathy quirk allowing her to detect people across great distances and communicate with them mentally."
"His Quirk is Explosion!"
That excited response came from Mura-sensei who looked more then eager to explain it. "He can secrete sweat from his body that has nitroglycerin properties in it, and can set off a spark in his body to make it explode. He also has a mutation to make him sweat more then normal so you can expect how powerful it can be once he takes the hero game."
Mitsuru turned to him as the room seemed to drop a degree or two as she nodded. "That certainly sounds like a powerful quirk, though I'm certain he's being taught proper restraint."
The principal shuddered from it before he gave a slight cough to try bringing down the tension. "Y-Yes, we are quite aware that he needs to control it. He can't control how much sweat he lets out so we allow him to let out a small explosion every now, and then to prevent the sweat from interfering with his studies but he has never harmed anyone or anything with it we promise that." Bakugo was always a loose cannon so getting rid of evidence of him doing the EXACT OPPOSITE was somewhat easy with his position as the Principal, and besides his main target, Deku, is Quirkless; who's gonna believe a Quirkless brat? "But... while we're on the topic of Quirk, I do have to ask... you two are married, and none of you seem to have attempted surrogacy so that means you probably adopt your son so out of curiosity, what type of Quirk does your son have?"
Adoption was always sketchy from being leaving behind many unsavory people mostly villainous Quirks but if he is selected by the Kirijo Group's CEO then the Principal can kinda rest easy from thinking that Mitsuru had selected a good kid to adopt if he has a Quirk to impress her enough to adopt him. This can work in two ways, one the one hand it'll allow Aldera Junior High to produce another hero worthy of the top 5 heroes, and on the other having a CEO's son in a school setting like this will have them be more famous to grooming not only Bakugo-kun but also the Kirijo Group's heir! This is probably a great deal! Well only drawback be Deku but come on what's the worse that can happen?
"Actually, Tetsuo is quirkless." Fuuka answered before smiling softly. "Despite that he's a very kind boy and spends quite a lot of time with us and our friends."
...
...
...Are you kidding!?
"Quirkless?" one of the bored teachers looked astonished from hearing that. "You let something like that... that... THING in your family!?" Uh oh, the absolute wrong reaction to give out.
The entire room suddenly dropped in temperature drastically giving all of the teachers an intense chill as Mitsuru looked at them.
"Is that an issue, I wasn't aware that possessing a quirk was a requirement to enroll here." she told them.
The Principal shuddered from the change in temperature mildly panicking inside from one of his teachers giving out that type of reaction. So to take control back of the situation he coughed, and talked over his reasons for his cover story. "S-Sorry about that Kirijo-kun... we didn't mean to give out the wrong impression it's just... one of our most troublesome students is also Quirkless."
"How many Quirkless students are currently enrolled?" Fuuka gently closed her eyes to take a scan of the school while asking him.
"Just, just one... Izuku Midoriya..." the Principal was sweating from the tension as he explained this over. "A true trouble child he is..."
"In more ways then one... he is always muttering so much it's creepy, and he keeps trying to get Bakugo-kun in trouble." Mura-sensei spoke more comfortably to talk about Deku. "In some ways he hurts himself, and tries to report it over to where Bakugo-kun done it but we already know that he is just trying to pin the blame on Bakugo-kun when he clearly hasn't done such a thing. He also tries to say he's been bullied a lot but we already know he is only trying to get attention, and that he also wants to go to U.A. despite being Quirkless. He tries to be a hero he's mincemeat."
"Calling your student creepy is extremely unprofessional, and if he is injuring himself shouldn't you do something to help him as his instructor?" Fuuka asked. "There are reasons he could be doing such a thing and bullying is a common reason."
"True, and in regards to him wanting to attend U.A. I see no reason he shouldn't be allowed to assuming his heart and grades are in the right place... there are plenty of support items that could compensate for a lack of a quirk." Mitsuru noted. "They might not make someone as talented as All Might but a smaller hero could make great use of them."
"We advised him heavily he can't head to U.A. cause he needs a Quirk to be a hero but he refuses to listen." one teacher scoffed over. "You two are lucky to have Quirks, I can't imagine what it's like to live in a Deku's shoes."
"Pardon?" The room grew even colder as Mitsuru asked that to the point that even Fuuka shivered slightly despite being used to her wife's quirk.
"J-Just... just a roughhousing nickname, Bakugo-kun gave Midoriya-kun when they were younger." Saying the name of the student otherside from Deku tastes like bile on his tongue but he has to set an image to prevent these two CEOs from doing anything that can harm Bakugo's chances of being a hero or there image. "They known each other when they were younger, and Midoriya-kun is always jealous of Bakugo-kun since he is Quirkless while Bakugo-kun has a amazing Quirk. Bakugo-kun refer to him as Deku which is short for Dekunobou or good for nothing. We always place the students' welfare above all else, and we are careful with all even Midoriya-kun. I think your son, and Midoriya-kun will get along well as he will have someone he can relate too."
Mitsuru just closed her eyes. "I think we've been getting off track, we're here to discuss Tetsuo's potential enrollment."
"Uh y-yes, yes of course!" more then eager to get this meeting over with, and avoid any further scuffles the Principal cleared his throat looking at the papers in front of him now more professional. "S-So he's being transferred here from his old school as a forth year student?"
They both nodded. They originally thought of enrolling Tetsuo to a school like Somei Private Academy but Tetsuo had talked with them telling them he wants to attend in a regular Middle School cause he doesn't want to be a big deal, and assures them whatever Middle School of that caliber will be fine with him. They have some hesitance but in the end they gave in to what Tetsuo wanted to do, last thing they wanted was to let him down to his wishes but this meeting makes them wonder if this is really the right choice?
"Grades are above the other classmates." the Principal looked over the grades before looking towards the two. "Has he ever been into any trouble?"
"Not since we've adopted him no." Mitsuru confirmed before taking a breath as she looked across the room as her icy gaze landed on Mura-Sensei. "Of course, if you have the school's star pupil in your class I'm certain you can address any issues should they come up?"
Mura-sensei gulped from the icy stare quickly assuring her. "Uh, y-yes, most certainly no trouble will fall beheld young Tetsuo!"
"I'm glad to hear that." the room's temperature returned to normal as Mitsuru smiled softly. "Now, is there anything we should know about Aldera Junior High that we should tell our son before he begins classes here?"
Nearly everyone sighed in relief feeling the tension is gone which the Principal addressed over to her. "W-Well... only thing is for him to keep to himself. Other then that he should not have any problems."
Mitsuru frowned but nodded. "Alright, thank you for your time."
"You as well Kirijo-kun."
With that both woman left the room leaving a silence over the room.
"Principal... shouldn't you say no?"
Principal Tatsumi sighed face-palming. Well this is certainly a great way to kick start the most important year... another Quirkless Nobody coming in, and coming from the CEO of the Kirijo Group will make things even more hectic. If he recalls the Kirijo Group specializes over robotics, and other things but he had no interest over those types of things as heroes are more the norm. He doesn't exactly get why Mitsuru would enroll her son into this school but whatever, as long as nothing happens that's all that matters. He only hopes having another Quirkless hero wannabe doesn't give Deku any ideas.
"The decision was already decided by the school board. I don't have any say." the other teachers groaned to themselves hearing that but the Principal assured them. "But no worries as long as nothing happens we will be alright. Just keep the focus over on Bakugo-kun being a hero, and Deku stay out of his way." They all nodded hearing that mentally dreading the times to come.
Meanwhile...
A limo pulled up to a house as the driver smiled over down. "We're back home ma'ams." He was talking to Mitsuru, and Fuuka who were there before he then told over. "Give the little master my wishes."
"We will, thank you." Fuuka smiled getting out of the limo along with Mitsuru.
As the limo drive off, and they walked towards the door Mitsuru turned over about something. "What did you find with your Quirk?"
"They were lying, there was a group of around three or four students clearly attacking one, and there was definitely illegal usage of quirks." Fuuka frowned as she closed her eyes again only to smile before wincing. "Oh, that one's going to leave a mark."
"How injured was he?" Mitsuru couldn't help but worry about the victim from how the meeting went, and assumed it was this 'Deku' they referred him as.
"I couldn't tell exactly, he was more frightened than physically injured though that might have been because... the attack had only just started." Fuuka clarified before visibly wincing despite having a proud smile.
"Well... I'm afraid without evidence we can't exactly help him." Mitsuru did had a clear frown from it. "It just makes me worry if Tetsuo can manage to handle a harmful school setting like this."
"Have faith in our boy Mitsuru." Fuuka gently took her hand and smiled softly. "He'll be ok, he's a lot like his mother after all."
Mitsuru stared at her before smiling, "Which mother do you mean I wonder?" She had a playful tone as she said that. "He definitely takes after both of us you know."
"That's true, so how was the meeting?"
Hearing a male voice they turned to see a young man with white hair holding an ice pack to his face with some bruises walking over.
"Do you think Tetsuo will be alright at Aldera, and then trying to enroll at U.A.?"
"Doubtful. Fuuka had found that some students were bullying one person that allows illegal Quirk Usage, Akihiko." Mitsuru had a frown as she explained it to one of her former classmates. "The meeting went about as smooth as you can guess they promised there wouldn't be any problems but Fuuka found light that there is some sabotaging going on..." She then sighed. "We can't prove anything right now so all we can do is hope for Tetsuo to be alright."
Akihiko frowned hearing that before wincing.
"Mom, you're back." mentioned a cheerful voice.
Hearing that they looked over seeing the door opened.
Who was there was a black riled haired boy with violet iris eyes, and wearing a black shirt that has a blue jacket over it that's open, and white shorts while wearing red shoes that seem noticeable.
"How did your meeting go?" He walked over towards Mitsuru, and Fuuka as he asked them that while a blonde haired woman having sky blue eyes wearing a dress exit behind him.
"We'll tell you during dinner Tetsuo." Fuuka smiled hugging him before frowning. "Tetsuo, is that a black eye?"
"I'm ok, uncle Akihiko just got me today... I'll be ok Mamagishi." Tetsuo smiled. "Aigis said I won today."
While Tetsuo didn't have a quirk he did spend some time learning to keep himself and others safe just in case so he was starting to get familiar with different kinds of weapons ranging from bows and rapiers to his own two hands since Akihiko was a boxer in high school and made a point to stay in shape.
"Well we're proud of you." Mitsuru patted his head with a small smile. "Get yourself cleaned up, and we will start with dinner okay?"
"Okay mom." Tetsuo nodded from that before heading back inside passing the blonde haired woman who only smiled.
Turning over the woman frowned noticing the looks in there eyes. "Did the meeting not go well?"
"The blatant favoritism couldn't have been more obvious." Mitsuru frowned as they walked into the house. "They have a star pupil, Katsuki Bakugo who's going to be the next All Might apparently with his explosion quirk."
"Tch." Akihiko clicked his tongue in obvious disgust. "I can't imagine the kind of superiority complex he must've developed from being told that."
"Unfortunately that's how society is now, at least the vast majority of it... people always assume that the strongest or flashiest quirks are the ones that will make the best heroes." Fuuka frowned only to pause and look down as she started tearing up.
Seeing that Mitsuru gently embraced her wife and kissed her softly. "I know, we all miss her... I'm sure she would have doted on Tetsuo even more than you do."
Akihiko softened while the woman frowned knowing there pain. Minako Arisato... that was the name of the person there thinking of, a young woman who had singlehandedly saved humanity from extinction from a prophecy known as the Fall. By all rights she should be a hero, however there circumstances from this event don't have anything willing to believe such a story so with heavy hearts they kept this to themselves but one day... one day Minako will meet up with them once she's free from her burden someday.
They still have the picture that one of there friends took. A better one then the one when they thought there troubles were over proudly displayed on one wall. Her Quirk... well she's Quirkless same as him but they probably have known or guessed the reason why she was Quirkless after encountering some other characters that are like her.
"We'll see her again one day." the blonde woman mentioned calmly. "I'm certain of that."
Mitsuru nodded calmly as they walked in to the house to have dinner with Tetsuo. Soon Tetsuo walked down freshen, and washed up with a smile over sitting down turning towards Akihiko. "What's for tonight Uncle Akihiko?"
"We're having pasta, I think it's... fettuccini tonight." Akihiko answered. "With chicken and mushrooms, oh and a small salad to go with it."
Tetsuo nodded as the chefs handed some dinner over to everyone but the woman who stood by. Taking a bite Tetsuo turned to Fuuka. "Mamagishi, what was Aldera like?"
Fuuka looked down before turning over. "Well... it's normal that much is certain... they have a star pupil named Katsuki Bakugo who uses an explosion Quirk."
"Explosion?" Tetsuo looks interested in the type of Quirk. "Whoa that sounds really strong. Definitely useful for any demolition types of jobs... as long as he keeps them under control of course."
"From what we heard they're grooming him to be a pro hero." Mitsuru explained.
"So he is planning to head to U.A. like me?" Tetsuo couldn't help asking that since from the sounds of things he does seem like a U.A. applicant.
"It would make the most sense." The room got slightly colder as she said that before Mitsuru sighed.
"Did something happen?" Tetsuo does look worried cause Mitsuru looking like this is never a good sign.
Fuuka sighed before explaining what happened and what they learned at the school.
"So they allow illegal Quirk Usage?" Tetsuo frowned.
"It seems that way, especially when it concerns their star pupil." Mitsuru nodded.
Tetsuo looked down getting some mixed memories about his time before coming to the Kirijos where often students use there Quirks on him whenever there bored, or need a stress reliever. He never experienced grave injuries but from a school allowing it he's almost certain he'll be adding some new scars.
"I wouldn't worry, you might not have a quirk but you can defend yourself if you need to." Akihiko pointed out with a smile.
Tetsuo smiled back from that before looking. "And... I might not have a Persona but I can still defend myself without one."
"I just hope you won't have to... at least not until you get to U.A." Fuuka admitted hugging her son.
Tetsuo hugged her back with a smile. That power he just mentioned, 'Persona'... we will get to that at a later date but just know it's an really important aspect of there lives. "So... when do I head to school?"
"Tomorrow, I think Labrys will take you to Aldera." Mitsuru noted turning to the blonde. "That was the plan wasn't it Aigis?"
The woman nodded over. "Of course."
Mitsuru smiled at that. "Then you should get a good night's sleep Tetsuo, tomorrow will be an interesting day."
"Alright mom." Tetsuo nodded over with a smile hugging her before hugging the others. "Thanks for letting me go to a normal school."
"Of course, I love you." she smiled hugging him back before kissing his forehead.
Tetsuo waved before walking up to get some sleep. Now alone Akihiko turned over towards Mitsuru. "So Mitsuru... have you, and Fuuka checked over if he has the potential?"
"Not yet, you know Fuuka wouldn't be able to contain herself." Mitsuru chuckled.
Fuuka blushed embarrassed from that. "W-Well... I wanted to make sure he be normal... we all had trouble after all with the Dark Hour, the Midnight Channel, and now this 'Metaverse' as we hear them refer it... I just don't want Tetsuo to get caught up in it. Is that wrong?"
"Of course not." Mitsuru reassured her softly.
"She's right, we went through a lot and so did the others, but if something does happen we know Tetsuo will be able to take care of himself." Akihiko agreed.
Fuuka let out a smile before then turning to Mitsuru. "Speaking of Metaverse, the Phantom Thieves are willing to chat with us if we make time. If this'll allow us to find a way to help Minako then maybe it holds the answer."
"That would be a good idea, and what about Narukami and his friends? I think we should all get together, and the sooner the better." Mitsuru pointed out.
"They said they have the week off for whenever we meet up." Fuuka answered.
Closing her eyes Mitsuru nodded before getting up and walking over to make the calls.
With Tetsuo...
Tetsuo was laying in his room on his bed looking up at the celling wondering what kind of school life he is gonna get into today. From over things at dinner he does know that Aldera Junior High favors a lot from Bakugo but treats someone like Midoriya like shit, and if it's from if he's Quirkless then Tetsuo would probably be treated the same way just differently. If Adera Junior High knows to save there skins they take it easy on Tetsuo otherwise then invoke the wrath of the ice queen. (Nickname he often refers to Mitsuru playfully much to her embarrassment)
"So... school starts tomorrow..." Tetsuo decided to try snoozing off so he closes his eyes unaware of the events that's gonna happen.
(Cue Theme: Aria of the Soul)
Feeling a shift Tetsuo slowly woken up blinking seeing he's in a different area blinking surprised. Looking around he sees he finds himself in what seems like a science lab which shows of his fascination for science from both his moms except one major difference is that's it's all royal blue. How did he-
"Welcome to the Velvet Room."
Tetsuo's eyes widened seeing a man sitting across him at a large table, a man in a suit with bloodshot eyes and an extremely long nose.
"My name is Igor, I am delighted to make your acquaintance, now then may I ask your name?" the long-nosed man inquired.
Tetsuo looked surprised seeing the man along with some type of woman with him. He wasn't sure what type of dream this is or if this is the effect of a Quirk. But still this man before him asked him a question so he had no reason to answer.
"T-Tetsuo Kirijo. Nice to meet you." Tetsuo gave his name with a slight bow.
"Well Tetsuo, it's a pleasure to meet you." Igor smiled.
The man turned over towards the woman to introduce her. "This is my assistant Moritz. She will be another guide on this journey."
Tetsuo looked towards the woman. She is wearing a blue scientist coat with blue rimmed glasses holding a book having short green hair, and yellow eyes looking at him with a clear smile.
"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter." Igor explained calmly. "This room becomes shaped to any guests' hearts. To have it be a scientist lab is most interesting..."
Suddenly recalling something Tetsuo widen his eyes looking over to Igor. "W-Wait a second... you wouldn't be the same Igor that helped Minako-senpai all those years ago?"
"Minako Arisato, she was a most remarkable guest." Igor smiled.
"So you are?" Tetsuo was quite astonished to hear that one of Minako-senpai's mentors had reached out to him. "So... what's this got to do with me? I'm nothing like her."
"I beg to differ." Mortiz suddenly voiced over. "Do you know of her ability of the Wildcard?" She gotten a nod from him at that before she smiled. "Well you here as a guest of the Velvet Room you have the same ability as she does."
"Think of Minako as the number 0... empty but full of possibilities. You have the same potential as her despite being Quirkless." Igor added over towards Tetsuo. "She was Quirkless like you too believe it or not." Of course Tetsuo did know that... "Our time is short so just know that very soon will come the test of your resolve."
"Test my resolve..." Tetsuo whispered before his eyes widened as he looked shocked. "Wait, but... does that mean I'm... like mom and Mamagishi? A Persona-user?"
They both nodded confirming this as Mortiz added. "And the power of the Wildcard too."
Tetsuo looked stunned. "Well, I promise I'll do whatever I can to live up to Minako-senpai's legacy."
"In this age where superpowers called Quirks are all the rage it be harder." Igor stated over to him before saying, "But we have the upmost confidence for you."
"I'll do my best." Tetsuo smiled as the room started fading and Igor handed him a key.
"Hold onto this, and when we next meet it will be of your own volition." Igor told him.
Tetsuo looked at the key before nodding smiling closing his eyes.
The next day...
Mitsuru, and Fuuka were chatting at breakfast when Tetsuo came in wearing the Aldera Junior High uniform looking giddy.
"Someone's excited, you looking forward to school that much?" inquired a voice as he turned to see a woman with a silver ponytail wearing a similar outfit to Aigis.
"It's much more then that Auntie Labrys but I'll tell you all when school's out it's really important." Tetsuo answered over deciding to surprise everyone about his experience in the Velvet Room.
His two mother's gave him suspicious looks but nodded.
"Well, let's get going." Labrys took his hand before smiling. "Be back in a bit Mitsuru-san."
"You two be careful." Labrys, and Tetsuo both walked out together before Fuuka looked over towards Mitsuru, "What is he excited about?"
Mitsuru closed her eyes. "Hopefully it's the possibility of making a new friend, I just hope Tetsuo being quirkless or being our son doesn't affect how he's treated at Aldera."
Fuuka nodded secretly hoping that's all it is. She doesn't want to imagine her baby boy being hurt... oh there she goes being Mamagishi Bear again!
Later...
Labrys, and Tetsuo arrived at Aldera Junior High as they looked at it which he blinks. "Looks a bit... dusty." He said that to be polite cause it looked really ancient.
"You going to be ok from here?" Labrys inquired gently.
Tetsuo turned over bumping a fist against his chest. "I'll be fine. Uncle Akihiko made sure I'm okay in case I get into any fights."
"I know, go get em Tetsuo." Labrys hugged him gently before turning and walking off.
Tetsuo smiled before walking out. After meeting with the Principal he headed towards the Facility Office meeting with his homeroom teacher who was waiting, and guided him in.
In one classroom...
"Did you hear? We're getting a new student."
"Yeah, I heard. What kind of Quirk do you think he has?"
"I don't know but there's no way he be as good as Bakugo."
The words floated around in one certain green haired freckled faced boy. This was Izuku Midoriya the often butt of Aldera Junior High who was treated the worst. He himself is interested in this new student, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person they are? Do they have an amazing Quirk, or do they have sometime of cool relative as a hero? Who knows?
"Quiet, quiet everybody quiet!" was the voice of Mura-sensei who walked in with Tetsuo in his uniform.
Everyone looked at the front of the room where Tetsuo smiled and politely waved looking at them.
"This is our new transfer student, Tetsuo Kirijo." Mura-sensei told them.
That surprised everyone but Izuku the most. Of course he knows about the Kirijo Group there one of the most well known companies, and it's CEO Mitsuru has such an amazing Quirk. She isn't a hero but she is definitely swift, and achievements of her exploits are definitely well known to him since she was known to know the Principal of U.A. Nezu himself.
"Pleasure to meet you everyone. Hope we can be friends." one blonde scoffed from that which made Tetsuo blinked.
"Now now students I know you all are excited but don't be... cause he's Quirkless." everyone perked up hearing that for different reasons on Mura-sensei speaking that information so causually.
"Hey, were you suppose to tell them that?"
"Oh sorry it just slipped out." Tetsuo frowned from the half-assed lie he is seeing thinking his homeroom teacher said that so carelessly, and on purpose. He probably doesn't care if he's Mitsuru's son, he's Quirkless so he's fair game. "Ahem..." Suddenly looking really stern he yelled. "Midoriya!" Said boy flinched in his seat. "Stand up." No 'please' was given.
"Yes sir!" Izuku nodded standing up quickly.
'So this is Deku?' Tetsuo looked Izuku over finding any hints of a 'trouble child' only to frown. 'Is this really the kind of person the Principal said...?'
"You'll be sitting beside Deku, Kirijo. Now sit down."
Frowning Tetsuo couldn't help the sassy comment. "Wow are you this rude to anyone who doesn't have a Quirk?"
Needless to say everyone was startled from the crass comment with one certain blonde boy ignoring it while Mura-sensei looked angry. "Tch, your lucky it's first day otherwise I'd give you detention. Now sit down!"
Tetsuo glared before walking. If it haven't been for his reflexes he wouldn't notice a foot stuck out intending to make him trip. He stopped before stepping over the foot, and flashed a smile towards the shocked student. "Sorry almost got your foot." He walked sitting down while the student scoffed annoyed her fun was ruined.
"Tch, whatever." Izuku sat down before saying. "Okay let's get class started..." Tetsuo mostly didn't pay attention just focused over Izuku wondering if this is really the boy. From how the Principal described to his moms he loves to get into trouble, and mutters a lot it's creepy. From how Izuku looks he couldn't hurt anyone, and sure he does mumble but he doesn't find it creepy at all from being smart. And about him being jealous of Bakugo (the blonde) he doesn't seem to think so just being star-struck about him while also nicknaming him 'Kacchan'.
The rest of the day went by well... awful. Bullies all around with teachers nothing to stop them. They mostly ignore Tetsuo but given a lot of fair game towards Izuku. He often hears of Izuku getting into trouble from the bullies but wasn't around, and sighed wondering if his choice of schools was really a good idea. He tried telling a teacher about the bullies but instead gotten scolded about lying. Blatant favortism at it's finest...
At the end of the day...
Tetsuo had gathered his bag heading to the front entrance calling Mitsuru before she heads over to tell her about today.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" inquired the familiar voice of his mother. "Tetsuo?"
"Hey mom." Tetsuo's small voice replied.
"How was it?" she asked as he heard a computer in the background, she was probably working but always managed to make time to listen to him when he needed her, she wasn't as blatant as Fuuka but she was just as much of a mama bear.
"Bad. Thinking maybe my choice isn't a good idea after all..." Tetsuo sighed over to her. "Everywhere was someone commenting on me being Quirkless... The teacher told the class I was Quirkless, and called out Midoriya for me to sit beside him. Midoriya doesn't really seem like the type of person we're told he looked to be a complete cinnamon roll, and is really nice to everyone no hints of harming himself or jealous. He's being bullied almost the whole day, and a teacher scolded me for lying, and next this star pupil Bakugo... he's a total hothead disrespecting everyone even teachers calls everyone 'useless extras', and loves to torment Izuku over his Quirklessness."
"Do you want to withdraw?" Mitsuru inquired.
"Well I hate to do this but I can't help Izuku so-" At the door he hears an explosion which he perked up looking seeing Bakugo, and two students cornering Izuku. "Ah shit!"
"Tetsuo, what's going on?" Mitsuru questioned.
"Sorry I got to go." Tetsuo hanged up quickly heading out just as Bakugo raised a hand to Izuku. "HEY!"
Hearing that Bakugo, his followers, and Izuku all looked over.
"Tetsuo?"
The boy was glaring at Bakugo. "What do you think your doing?"
"Mind your own business fucking extra." Bakugo growled in warning already irritated.
"No I don't think I will." Tetsuo glared over. "Leave Izuku alone or I'll make you back off."
"What?" Bakugo started laughing, "You want to fight me!?" He then glared over. "How stupid are you suppose to be? Your not worth my time so back off."
"So they call you the star student. In my eyes your nothing more then a bully nothing heroic about it!"
"The fuck you'd say!?" Bakugo snapped over now outraged at what he just said. "You don't back off, I'll fucking kill you!"
"I'll take my chances. You have no right to treat Midoriya-kun like that!" Tetsuo had made his resolve clear.
Bakugo looked furious before moving to attack Tetsuo with his quirk as small explosions sparked in his hands only for him to try and throw a haymaker with his left arm which Tetsuo quickly ducked under before landing a hard uppercut to Bakugo's chin that would make Akihiko proud. Bakugo landed on the ground which shocked the three before the two posses glared over. "Oh your dead now!" Tetsuo turned before one blinded light which made Tetsuo cried out holding his eyes.
"AH! My eyes!"
The other boy headed over kicking Tetsuo at the gut making him step back grunting holding his gut before the first boy gave a double-axe to him before punching him at the cheek causing him to land on the ground with blood on his lips.
"He isn't worth it Bakugo-chan just focus on Deku we got him." the winged boy who kicked Tetsuo told Bakugo who was rubbing his mouth.
"Tch, fine he's worthless anyway."
Tetsuo looked over seeing Bakugo walking back over towards Izuku who watched in shock, and fear over. This sorta reminds him of himself before Mitsuru, and Fuuka took him in. Always in fear of bullies, unable to get a good life from being Quirkless, and multiple other things had happened from him. Now it's happening again only someone else is suffering. 'It's happening again... Me being Quirkless is driving me towards being miserable, and now someone is being dragged with me... Dammit, I gotta do something... ANYTHING!' So he stood up as the two bullies readied on as Tetsuo glared. "C'mon motherfuckers!" Bakugo, and Izuku turned back hearing that surprised to hear that. "I'll keep going UNTIL YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
(Cue Theme: Awakening)
"I'm pleased to see you finally found your resolve."
Tetsuo suddenly gasped his eyes turning yellow as he held his head gasping hearing a painful ringing that seemed to be getting louder as he screamed out in agony.
"What's going on with him?" Bakugo questioned before groaning and rubbing his chin. "Damn extra got a lucky punch."
"Even amongst the most darkest side of the world you have never once allowed revenge to cloud your thoughts." Tetsuo kept screaming as he hears the voice speak to him in his head. "The jailkeepers condemned the powerless to slavery making lives miserable for there own selfish deeds. But now you have the resolve to change things to where the world will once again see the definition of what makes a hero. Just as your promise over to free others from the burden of chains tying them down. I am thou, thou art I..."
Tetsuo opened one eye seeing a shadow of him starting at him with glowing eyes.
"Tell me... will you take your resolve, and heed it against the unjust?"
"I will." he answered without hesitating.
"Very well... then call thy name, and release your inner rage!"
Tetsuo breathed with sweat on his head slowly getting up. "Very well... let's form the contract!" He raised his head up where to the four boy's shock sees a mask had materialized on his face.
"The hell?" Bakugo questioned.
Tetsuo grabbed his mask before pulling at it feeling it like skin before pulling it off in a graphic blood show screaming, "THESEUS!"
A blast of blue fire exploded over as they braced for cover.
(Cue Theme: Will Power)
Looking back they find that above Tetsuo was a golden armored warrior holding a two-bladed sword with a beard, and mustache while Tetsuo himself held a sinister grin wearing a new attire.
"What the... but, I thought you were quirkless!" one of Bakugo's followers cried in shock. "What is that?"
Tetsuo looked over his hands. "For real... so this is the power of Persona?" Clenching his hands he looked up.
"I am the rebel that resides within you. Should you will it, I'll grant you power."
"Please give it." Tetsuo had his answer clear.
"Very well." Theseus looked over towards the two opponents.
Smirking over to the two boys Tetsuo challenged them. "Alright... bring it!"
Izuku just looked stunned at what had just happened.
"He was quirkless, and I don't think he was lying but at the same time I've never seen anything like that before which implies it must be a quirk but a quirk to summon another being and change his physical appearance, he should have been able to do that from a young age. Then again why would..."
He started trailing off trying to figure out what he was seeing.
"Shut up damn nerd!" Bakugo snapped which made him flinch.
"Whatever you can't do anything against the two of us!" the winged boy charged in attempting to kick but Tetsuo dodged before punching him which the light boy tried to blind him but to his shock had no effect as Tetsuo grinned before charging kicking him before elbowing his head, and blocked the winged boy's attempted punch before punching his chest pushing him back, and turned kicking the light boy's shoulder before he gave a wince feeling the winged boy tackling Theseus who looked annoyed which wasn't unnoticed by Bakugo.
Jumping back Tetsuo glared at the two. "This should get you two to stop." He pulled his mask calling. "Hama!" He adjusted the effectiveness to where it can only knock people out rather then instantly kill. Theseus charged light as it build around the two.
Small gold cards appeared in front of them before a an invisible blade sliced them in half causing them to lose consciousness.
"Alright unconscious now." Tetsuo turned back over to Bakugo who looked shocked before Tetsuo pointed with a grin. "Your turn blowy!"
Bakugo growled exploding in his hands. "Fine you seem to be worth something!"
Meanwhile Izuku examined Tetsuo. Tetsuo is now wearing a large black coat with a gray shirt under it while wearing red pants, and red shoes while having on fingerless gray cowhide gloves while also having a scarf around his neck. His mask is black with red linings around with yellow eye visuals on it. He still isn't sure what the heck this is...
Both Bakugo, and Tetsuo charged in exchanging blows while Izuku slowly gets up wincing from a burn on his leg. He looks to see Bakugo moving tp punch but Tetsuo dodged, and gave two punches back before kicking him off which irritated Bakugo before charging in using his explosions to propel him before kneeing Tetsuo who flew back before charging in attempting to punch which Bakugo dodged as they exchanged blows to where Tetsuo is faster while dealing slights blows at him.
Backing off he reached for his mask pulling it off. "Theseus get him with Cleave!" Theseus charged in towards Bakugo blade in hand but he smirked dodging before calling out blasting an explosion punch point blank on Theseus' chest.
Tetsuo groaned at that.
'Like I thought that thing seems to be his shitty powers drawback.'
With that Bakugo charged in which Tetsuo focused again, and attacks again landing attacks towards Bakugo who dodged before trying to land a kick but Tetsuo ducked jumping back summoning Theseus again. "Persona!"
Theseus appeared moving to attack but Bakugo jumped up landing a stronger explosion on Theseus which made Tetsuo groaned more holding his head feeling a really bad headache. Theseus vanished as Bakugo charged down kicking Tetsuo across. Tetsuo coughed blood from the harsh attack, and looked seeing Bakugo smirking sinisterly walking as Tetsuo grunted before looking seeing a tree, and jumped up landing on a branch breathing looking at Bakugo who smirked readying an explosion to get him out.
"Wait Kacchan you'll hurt him!"
"I'd plan too." Bakugo ignored Izuku's pleading ready to finish this.
On instinct Tetsuo summoned Theseus again. "Theseus stop him!" Theseus charged in which Bakugo dodged, and charged in. "TAKE THIS!" He landed a double-punch explosion that seemed to be his most powerful. Tetsuo froze before he dropped down landing on the ground groaning getting on fours before he puked feeling really bad as Theseus vanished again leaving Tetsuo stunned before collapsing unconscious.
"Alright I think we're about done here. Time to finish you villain." Bakugo step over to Tetsuo to land a finishing blow even with him down which Izuku noticed.
Suddenly he found that he couldn't move at all.
"W-What the-"
"What do you think your doing!?"
Izuku sees Bakugo is being held by fiber strings, and looking over he finds the identity of the strings, and widen his eyes shocked.
"You're the fiber hero, Best Jeanist!" he cried in shock. "You're amazing, I saw your..."
Bakugo groaned as Izuku started going into a rant about one of Best Jeanist's battles with a villain. Meanwhile said guy Best Jeanist was only focused on Bakugo.
Earlier...
Tsunagu Hakamada couldn't help but sigh going through patrol like normal while his agency was handling the issues that happen today. Another day, another time to care for civilians, and help them in whatever they need. Right now he is more focused over keeping the streets secure while dealing with whatever comes up. Well that 'something' did come up...
Suddenly he notices a blue flame explosion nearby which he blinked. "What the...?" He quickly headed over hearing explosions, and fighting happening as he approaches. Upon arriving he sees he's in front of Aldera Junior High, and sees two students fighting with powers while one student was injured with his leg nearby, and two are unconscious.
"Wait Kacchan you'll hurt him!" the injured student pleaded over.
"I'd plan too." the blonde haired student grinned sinister, and before Tsunagu can step in he sees the opponent pulling his mask, and summoned something which he blinked surprised only to see the blonde haired student landed a blow on something making his opponent collapsed unconscious before moving to finish him cracking his knuckles. "Alright I think we're about done here. Time to finish you villain."
Deciding now to pop in he readied his Quirk, and quickly trapped him which surprised the two. "W-What the-"
"What do you think your doing!?" Tsunagu demanded over which let the two know his presence before one said his hero name Best Jeanist, and started to rant about a battle with a villain while the blonde groaned seemingly annoyed before he told the injured student. "Kid."
"Yes sir?" he asked.
"Any other injuries otherside your leg?" Tsunagu went to work with his hero work checking to see if the student, Izuku is alright before doing anything else.
"I'm alright, but... don't blame Kacchan, he's going to be an amazing hero one day." Izuku mentioned. "It isn't his fault this happened, it's mine... I don't have a quirk so..."
"He's just a worthless extra." Bakugo snapped as Tsunagu saw in Bakugo's eyes the look of someone who was told he could do no wrong... of someone never disciplined and so thought he was just better than everyone else by default. Quirk favoritism at its most blatant.
Tsunagu sighed seeing this a lot before telling Izuku. "Don't blame yourself whatever happened I'm sure we can get to the bottom of it." He then pulled Bakugo closer warning him in his most sternest tone. "If you don't want me to make sure you don't be a hero ever walk away. We will do something about this later." He released him as he warned him.
Bakugo frowned before storming off clearly angry but not willing to risk not being a hero... showing that there was still hope for him if he had the right guidance.
Tsunagu watched as he did before looking towards the three unconscious kids with Tetsuo's clothes fading to his regular uniform. He turned over to Izuku. "What's the condition of these three?"
"I'm not sure... I've never seen a quirk like Tetsuo's... oh, he's the one you saw Kacchan fighting, he said he was quirkless though... but..." Izuku started before telling Tsunagu everything.
"So he awakened to a Quirk, and knocked those two out but seemed to suffer severe head trauma following that attack?" Tsunagu pretty much gets the gist that Tetsuo seems to be the most injured so far, and he walks to check for a pulse while asking Izuku that question.
"Yeah, but I've never heard of a quirk like that... it's completely unheard of." Izuku nodded before his eyes widened. "Should we call his parents, his mom is the CEO of the Kirijo Group."
Hearing that Tsunagu narrowed his eyes. "Mitsuru Kirijo..." He turned over to Izuku. "Call an ambulance. I got a call to make."
Izuku blinked before nodding and taking out a small phone.
Tsunagu meanwhile takes out his cell phone calling a number he hasn't put in at a long time. 'Hopefully her number is unchanged.' He pressed call, and raised it up.
After a while he heard a female voice. "Hello?"
"Hello Kirijo-san." he greeted over.
"Tsunagu?" Mitsuru's voice inquired. "I haven't heard from you in some time."
"I wish we would meet again under different circumstances." Tsunagu said over to her. "But right now you need to head to the hospital."
"What? What happened?" she questioned as even through the phone Tsunagu could feel a chill in the air.
"It's Tetsuo." Tsunagu answered over as he begins hearing sirens in the air. "One of his classmates said he awakened to his Quirk, and is now suffering some kind of head trauma from one of his classmates attacking it."
"He... Tsunagu tell me exactly what this classmate told you, do not leave out a single detail." Mitsuru instructed.
"First it started off from..." while the sirens get closer Tsunagu informed Mitsuru of all what Izuku had told him over to Tetsuo awakening to his Persona, fighting the bullies, and then Bakugo attacking the Persona enough to knock him unconscious.
Throughout it all Mitsuru listened quietly before frowning.
"We're on our way... all of us."
With that she hung up. Tsunagu looked before hanging up just as paramedics slowly take Tetsuo in the ambulance before he helps Izuku up. "This young man has a burn on his leg hindering his ability to walk."
"Bring him in." a paramedic told him as they stepped in as the ambulance rode off.
Meanwhile...
Aigis had handed Fuuka a cup of coffee while she's working. "Coffee?"
"Thank you Ai..." Fuuka started before they saw the coffee freeze solid, a very bad sign.
Aigis blinked from this before looking at Fuuka. "We better see what's wrong with Mitsuru-san."
Fuuka nodded nervously, knowing that something was clearly getting her wife very worked up and someone may very well end up executed for it.
Ulrich362: There's going to be... a lot to talk about when Mitsuru and the others arrive at the hospital. Bullying, an awakening, the Velvet Room, and that's just the start of it right Bopdog?
bopdog111: Definitely. And just to confirm, I'm not particularly a fan of Best Jeanist but for some reason I thought of him acting as a mentor guide towards Tetsuo here.
Ulrich362: He is canonically a mentor for Bakugo if memory serves so having him be a guide or... one of the first guides for Tetsuo makes sense. He'll have more as the fic continues.
bopdog111: Best Jeanist is gonna have a big role here that's for certain.
Ulrich362: True, very true. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
