Mark in mind: [I wonder what today could possibly be..?]
what about the doors of class when they opened his father or All-Might came in with an exciting grin on his face.
All-Might: I'm coming to the door like a normal person!
Mark in mind: [Dramatic as always with the entrance I see..]
Mark couldn't help but chuckle at All Might's dramatic entrance. It was always something he looked forward to in their classes.
All Might: Good morning, young heroes! Today, we have a special treat for you. We will be starting our battle training exercises!
The room filled with excited whispers as the students eagerly anticipated the upcoming training. Mark's heart raced with anticipation. This was his chance to showcase his newly acquired quirk and prove himself as a worthy hero-in-training.
All Might: Exactly good is a hero without their costumes.
All Might press the button and many briefcase with their hero costumes in it, Matk asked Mai for him to actually have two hero costumes one that can actually be a spare in case if it's the first hero costume was destroyed.
Every single one student from class 1-A decided to get their hero costumes.
Mark eagerly opened his briefcase and carefully examined his hero costume, it's a normal suit however one side was white the other side was black including the glasses as well one side was white the other side was black it was just like his hair color.
Everyone was in training ground gamma, everyone in their hero costumes.
All Might explain about the hero versus villain training just like in the anime.
Teams:
A. Mark and Shoto vs. Bakugou and Iida
B. Thomas and Subaru vs. Mina and Tsuyu
C. Ochaco and Mashirao vs. Denki and Eijiro
D. Kyoka and Hanta vs. Fumikage and Katsuki
E. Koji and Rikido vs. Mezo and Tenya
Mark felt a bit nervous, of course, but also excited as well as the person's actually someone of a bully.
Mark in mind: [god dammit me against someone of a bully...]
Mark took a deep breath and reminded himself that this was his chance to prove himself as a hero. He knew that he couldn't let a bully intimidate him or get in the way of his dreams.
As the teams lined up on the training ground, Mark locked eyes with Bakugou, the formidable and explosive student who had a reputation for being aggressive and confrontational.
Bakugou smirked, his eyes filled with arrogance.
Bakugou: Well, well, it looks like I get to beat some sense into a nobody like you.
Mark stood his ground, refusing to let Bakugou's words affect him.
Mark: Just shut up already, you arrogant asshole!
Bakugou: Tsk! Oh really didn't give it what you got, nobody!
Shoto: Should I assist you..?
Mark: No, you go ahead and take care of Iida, I'll take care of Mr. Explosion over here!
Shoto nodded in agreement and turned to face Iida, leaving Mark to face Bakugou alone.
As the battle commenced, Bakugou wasted no time in launching his explosive attacks towards Mark. Mark swiftly dodged and blocked each attack with his quirk, Half Nanotech and Half Plasma. He utilized his nanotech side to create shields and weapons, while his plasma side allowed him to generate and manipulate powerful bolts of energy.
Mark: impressive, but your combat capabilities are not impressive compared to me!
Bakugou: Then show me what you got you fucking extra!
Mark smirked, his confidence growing with each passing moment.
Mark: You asked for it, Bakugou!
With a swift motion, Mark unleashed a barrage of plasma bolts towards Bakugou, forcing him to use his explosions to dodge and counter. The two engaged in a fierce battle, their powers clashing in a spectacular display of abilities.
As the fight continued, Mark's strategic mind began to take control. He analyzed Bakugou's fighting style, looking for weaknesses and patterns. With precise timing and calculated moves, Mark managed to get the upper hand, landing a powerful blow that sent Bakugou flying.
Mark: Looks like you underestimate me, Bakugou. This nobody just beat you.
Bakugou gritted his teeth, a mix of anger and frustration evident on his face.
Bakugou: Don't get cocky, you damn extra!
But deep down, Bakugou knew that Mark's strength and determination were undeniable. In that moment, Mark was not just a nobody, but a force to be reckoned with.
Mark: I'm going to give him my all! above and beyond!
Mark is using his right arm of nanotech manipulation to actually create a massive plasma cannon with a left arm, actually with plasma, aiming it directly at Bakugou.
As Mark summoned his full power, the massive plasma cannon formed in his hand, crackling with energy. The intensity of the blast was enough to make everyone in the training ground take notice.
Mark: It's time to end this, Bakugou!
Without hesitation, Mark unleashed a torrent of plasma energy from the cannon, sending it hurtling towards Bakugou with incredible speed. The blast erupted with a deafening roar, causing a shockwave to ripple through the training ground.
Bakugou, caught off guard by Mark's sudden surge in power, struggled to evade the attack. His explosions faltered as he desperately tried to defend against the onslaught of plasma. But it was too late. The blast collided with him, engulfing him in a blinding explosion.
When the smoke cleared, Bakugou lay on the ground, defeated and visibly shaken. Mark stood tall, his power slowly dissipating as he surveyed the scene. The other students watched in stunned silence, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief.
Mark: Remember this, Bakugou. Heroes are more than just flashy names or powerful quirks. It's about the courage to stand up for what's right and the determination to never give up. I may have been a nobody, but today, I proved that I have what it takes to be a true hero.
Bakugou, for the first time, was left speechless. He couldn't deny the fact that Mark had displayed incredible strength and skill. A grudging respect flickered in his eyes as he slowly got back on his feet.
Bakugou: You... you're not just a nobody. You're someone to watch out for.
Mark nodded, a victorious smile on his face. He had proven himself not only to Bakugou but to everyone around him. From that moment on, Mark Shimura, also known as Techno, would be remembered as a hero who rose from obscurity to greatness.
As the training exercise came to an end, All Might, who had been watching the battle unfold, approached Mark with a proud smile.
All Might: Well done, young Techno. You've shown great promise today. Keep honing your powers and never lose sight of what it means to be a hero.
Mark beaming with happiness and pride and seen that Shoto was able to take down Iida using his ice side instead of the fire type.
After the match with Team a was done, many of the other hero versus villain training happened somewhat similar just like the anime.
All-Might was rather impressed by everyone's performance in the battle training of the hero versus villain training simulation.
It was time for everyone else to go home since it was the end of the day of U.A.
Mark was in train, was still happy that he was able to prove himself against the arrogant explosive asshole Bakugou.
Mark in mind: [God damn I really have caused him so good even to control my Quirk as well. Even though it's half and half Quirk, I still managed to have some control over it..]
Mark well looking outside he's still felt he was being forgotten by the people in his whole life including the person running the circus known as Uncle Harold and Mrs Jumbo the elephant that was also a mother figure to him.
Mark in mind: [I still feel like I've been forgotten even though they have a real life I've been gone they feel happy without me... and yes, I also have a mother figure who always cared for me as well, but yet it still doesn't feel the same..]
As Mark sat on the train, the sense of longing and the feeling of being forgotten weighed heavily on his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if his absence had truly made a difference in the lives of those he had left behind.
Lost in his thoughts, Mark felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see his classmate, Shino Sosaki, known as Mandalay, sitting next to him. Her gentle smile and caring eyes instantly lifted his spirits.
Shino: Hey Mark, I noticed you seemed a bit down. Is everything alright?
Mark sighed, hesitant to open up but grateful for Shino's concern.
Mark: It's just... I can't shake this feeling of being forgotten. Like I've faded into the background while everyone else moves on without me.
Shino's expression softened as she placed a comforting hand on his arm.
Shino: I understand how you feel. It's normal to crave recognition and to fear being left behind. But remember, Mark, you are not defined by how others perceive you. Your worth and impact go beyond what anyone else can measure.
Mark looked at Shino, her words sinking in. He realized that true fulfillment and self-worth came from within, and he couldn't rely on others to validate his existence.
Mark: You're right, Shino. I need to focus on the present, on becoming the hero I've always aspired to be. If I can make a difference in even one person's life, then I'm not forgotten.
Shino nodded, her support unwavering.
Shino: Exactly, Mark. Your strength, determination, and kind heart set you apart. As heroes, we are here to protect and uplift others, and in doing so, we find our own purpose.
Mark smiled, gratitude filling his heart. In Shino's presence, he felt seen and understood, reminding him that he wasn't alone in his journey.
Mark: Thank you, Shino. Your words mean a lot to me. I won't give up on my dreams, and I'll keep striving to become the hero I was meant to be.
Shino smiled back, a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
Shino: I believe in you, Mark. With your abilities and your determination, there's no limit to what you can achieve. Remember, you are never truly forgotten when you touch the lives of others.
As the train continued on its journey, Mark felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination.. When the train made it to its destination, Mark made his way to the apartment.
Inko was happy to see her quote unquote son came back after another day in UA.
Inko: Welcome home, Mark. How was your day at U.A.?
Mark smiled at Inko, feeling a sense of warmth and acceptance.
Mark: It was great, Inko. I had my first battle training exercise today, and I really proved myself. I'm becoming more confident in my abilities as a hero.
Inko's eyes filled with pride as she hugged Mark tightly.
Inko: I always knew you had it in you, Mark. You're destined for greatness.
Mark felt a surge of gratitude for Inko's unwavering belief in him. He knew that even though he may have felt forgotten in the past, he had found a new family and support system at U.A.
Mark: Thank you, Inko. I'm really grateful to have you in my life.
Inko smiled, her expression radiating love and warmth.
Inko: And I'm grateful to have you, Mark. Remember, no matter where life takes you, you will never be forgotten as long as you stay true to yourself and continue to touch the lives of those around you.
Mark nodded, his heart filled with determination and a sense of purpose.
Mark: I will, Inko. I will be the hero that not only protects others but also leaves a lasting impact on their lives.
And with that, Mark Shimura, also known as Techno, continued his journey from being a nobody to becoming the ultimate hero.
