Hey guys and gals, welcome back to MHA: The Value of a Thief and this time around will be something fun.
This is going to be another school focused chapter, as like in the game we'll be having Ren and Ryuji going around the school asking questions to the students.
But that's not all, there will also be a special guest and another fight scene to fit in the fight scene requirement.
So yeah, let's see how this one is going to go.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my Oc's
Shujin Academy
Third person P.O.V.
In the middle of Shujin Academy we see everything still frozen due to the effects of the app, everyone only moving extremely slowly.
However the people started moving faster until reverting back to normal, and as this happened we see Ren and Ryuji leaving the school, with their clothes back to normal.
"Woah! We're back!" Ryuji said, looking around before looking back at the school "And shujins back to normal too!".
"Our clothes are back to normal too… but the wounds are still there" Ren noted, looking out their outfits and the small bruises "How long were we in there for?".
"Woah, barely an hour" Ryuji said, with a blink "Felt like we were in there for a week",
"Remember what Morgana, time moves slower in that space then real world…which could be useful" Ren said, whispering the last part "Guess we can't call it a dream".
"Yeah you're right…but now I'm amped!" Ryuji grinned, pumping his fist "I can't wait to put Kamoshida in his pla-huh".
Suddenly they felt their stomachs rumbling before they looked at each other and started laughing.
"Man I'm freaking starving, I still owe you a meal right? Let's go" Ryuji said, as he walked back Ren who sweatdropped.
"Uh dude, aren't you forgetting something" Ren asked, as Ryuji looked back at him.
"Huh? What are you-ah!" Ryuji blinked, before jumping "Oh crud my wallet! I'll be right back!".
Ren watched Ryuji running back into the school as he waited outside for his companion.
But as he waited, the scene moved along in fast forward, moving faster and faster until the scene changed back into the interrogation room.
In front of him was Sae, as she leaned back inside taking in the information she had taken.
"So you wounded up in that 'world', which was where people's distorted desires to manifest, unintentionally and there you awoke to that odd power of yours as a way to survive from your first victims own distorted self image" Sae repeated what Ren had just said
"And on top of that there was another person with a cat-like quirk that somehow managed to get in that assisted you in escaping?".
"Believe what you want…it's all true" Ren frowned, looking down while rubbing his head.
"Honestly speaking that all sounds absurd, how you somehow came upon this power accidentally through and odd app without someone making it, there would be no doubt that it was all a lie if not for some of the details about you we've seen, like how your Awoken power somehow altered and strengthened your Quirk" Sae said, to herself before looking into Ren's eyes.
"But that still doesn't explain why you started doing these Phantom Thieves actions in the first place…why did you not report these claims to the Heroes, what encouraged you to take a stand against this Kamoshida in the first place" Sae asked, as Ren closed his eyes remembering what happened that day.
Opening: Flyers from Death Parade, lyrics be Leeandlie
WOAH! OH! WOAH! OH! OH! YEAH! YEAH!
In the middle of the city we see a gigantic statue of the number 1 hero All Might, however on his chest was a spray painted logo of a top hat and mask with flame coming out the eyes.
YEAH! YEAH! OW!
We then see a blur zoom past the statue, with the camera barely following its movements.
It's your haze of delusion versus reality
We see Joker running from rooftop to rooftop, with a light shining on him as several helicopters chased after him
Just keep stirring the pot to find your individuality
Arsene then flew up behind him before Joker jumped off the rooftop and grabbed his partner's Chain to help him fly.
Delete another problem that is plaguing your mind
We next see Skull running down the highway as several police cars chased after him, a wild grin on his face as he ran
From day to day! To end to end! That's entertainment of our lives
Captain kidd then sailed up and caught Skull as he cheered into the night sky, as face of pure joy behind him
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Several paint marks were slashed at the walls, as we see Fox painting everything in the alleyway around him
Let's celebrate our time, and party while we're still alive
He then spun around as Goemon showed and blew his smoke allowing the paint to glow revealing he had painted different hero posters and stop signs.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Panther then jumped down onto some train tracks and began dancing, as she began spinning around like a Ballerina
Kick your worries to the side and aim up to the sky.
Carmine then appeared behind her, and below a flaming tornado that spun around her as she smiled up at the beauty.
EVERYBODY! Put your hands up!
We see Queen riding on Johana with Mona on her back, as the two of them drove up an elevator through a window.
We'll be flying~ Can you imagine it?
We see a large UFO flying above the city with Oracle inside, before she tapped a few commands into it
Search and you'll find the stage set within your dreams.
The UFO then began flashing several colours like a Disco Ball that lit up the entire city.
The place where you're the one
Down below we see Noir and Milady dancing like in a ball on Shibuya crossing before the two spun around.
That's where you're meant to be!
Noir then struck a pose as Milady revealed the variety of guns below her dress.
EVERYBODY!
We then see the Thieves falling through the sky towards a variety of statues of Pro Heroes.
Put your hands up!
We see both Panther and Mona aiming firing their guns at a statue of Ryukyu which crumbled into pieces.
We'll be flying!
Then Skull and Fox quickly moved past a large statue Edgeshot, cutting it in half.
Can you imagine it?
Next we see Queen and Noir crashing, punching the large statue of endeavour into pieces.
Search and you'll find the stage you set within your dreams
In the UFO we see Oracle typing in a few more codes with a grin on her face, before snapping her fingers causing her UFO to drop a huge bomb towards the All Might statue.
The place where you're the one, that's where you're meant to be
Joker then grinned as Arsene threw him towards the bomb which he shot with his pistol causing a huge explosion of colours.
FLYIN! Within these memories!
We see the whole team of Phantom Thieves cheering at the beautiful explosion they were witnessing.
FLYING! That you're slowly forgetting!
Joker smirked before he spun around and landed towards the ground as the train passed by him.
Just listen close to the song that lies within you~
Ren then gets up in his school uniform with Morgana in his bag, before he waved to us and walked back towards the crowd of people passing by.
Soul~
My Hero Academia! The Value of a Thief!
Shibuya
Ore no beko
Third person P.O.V.
In a restaurant in Shibuya, we see Ren and Ryuji eating on the stand some of the restaurant's signature beef bowl dishes.
"So I gotta ask man" Ryuji said, while having some of the food in his mouth before quickly swallowing "You're on probation right? What'd ya do? Some crime or something".
"Huh, this is kinda sudden" Ren said, while Ryuji shrugged "I mean, I just thought since you're up to speed on all of my baggage I wanted to try hearing your backstory so c'mon, lay it all out man".
Ren stayed quiet for a few moments staring at his food before sighing "Alright…it was dark night and I was heading back home from the store, picking up some stuff for my grandparents…on my way back, I heard some commotion so I went to see what the noise was about".
"When I got there I saw this drunk guy harassing a lady, forcing her to get into the car…I couldn't sit around and do nothing so I stepped into to try and help her but I barely touched the guy when he tripped and he hit his head off the road right when the police came" Ren said, closing my eyes.
"He said that I suddenly assaulted him and got the police to arrest me, I hoped the woman would explain…but she didn't do anything…and I was arrested, later I was put on trial and placed on probation for the next 12 months…I was already set on leaving at the time and was going to go to my dream school…but when they heard what happened, they turned down my submission and I was forced to find another one, Shujin was the only school with a Hero course that would accept me…you know the rest".
Ren sighed and frowned, not liking the feelings he would get whenever he would think back to that night "Sniff, No way…".
"Huh" Ren blinked, before looking over at Ryuji with tears welling up in his eyes.
"That's so messed up man, you weren't the one that hurt her but you took the fall!" Ryuji cried, while eating up his food.
"I get you, you couldn't just walk away from something like that, you had to do something, that's what a real Hero would do…but still now everyone treats you like the villain, this shitty system! It's the worse" Ryuji said, with a determined look as Ren stared at him with a surprised look.
"Ryuji…" Ren said, before Ryuji placed his hand on Ren's shoulder "From here on out I'm on your side, ya hear".
"A-Are you sure? They'd probably start including you in those rumours" Ren asked, with a worried look.
"Meh it's nothing different, by the way where'd you learn those sweet moves back in the Palace?" Ryuji asked, as Ren blinked.
"What are you talking about? You felt it too right, you felt lighter weight and stuff after awakening" Ren said, but Ryuji shook his head.
"No I get that but… how did you know how to do all those moves? I don't even think the students starting out in other heroes' schools would be able to move around as well as you do" Ryuji asked, while eating his food.
"Ah that," Ren said, while taking from his food "Ah well there used to be a hero back in my home town you see, he's basically the towns mayor and is the one who decides everything and ever since I developed my Quirk he really wanted me to become a hero, and let me tell you the training was…rough".
"Woah, like what?" Ryuji asked, as Ren smirked, "Well for my sixth birthday I was dropped in the middle of the forest and forced to make my own way back".
"Yikes, sounds like you've had it pretty rough, guess that's what it takes to become a hero" Ryuji said, as Ren looked away slightly.
"Yeah… a hero…" Ren mumbled, himself before noticing Ryuji some toppings on his wish "Huh?".
"C'mon dude you've barely touched your meal" Ryuji said, putting some of the ginger on his dash making Ren sweatdrop.
"Uh it's fine dude, I can do it myself" Ren said, only for Ryuji to grin "Just let me do this for ya- oh yeah!".
Ryuji then proceeded to take out his phone before looking over at Ren "Give me your number, chat ID too".
"Oh yeah, we should probably do that," Ren said, as the two proceeded to exchange phone numbers and chat IDs.
"Just you wait Kamoshida" Ryuji said, with a smirk on his face "We're gonna start right away tomorrow, let's hit up those guys that were being treated as slaves in the castle, we have the Hero rally tomorrow so we got some free time".
"Oh yeah I keep hearing about that, what exactly is this Hero Rally?" Ren asked, as Ryuji blinked.
"That's right, you wouldn't know. It's basically an event they do where the best students in the Hero Classes get to try their skills against Kamoshida, they even get to use hero items and stuff" Ryuji said, as Ren sighed.
"Sounds more like he wants to fill his ego by showing how much better he is then everybody else" Ren noted, as Ryuji nodded.
"You got it right on the money, they even invited some high class heroes to attend probably so Kamoshida could show off all his cool teachings" Ryuji said, while Ren crossed his arms.
"Doubt it'd work though, I've seen their training and it kinda sucks" Ren said, with a sweatdrop "Imagine if he had me be one of those guys".
"Nah, he'd probably only pick people he knows he can beat down," Ryuji said, before shrugging as Ren ate more of his food.
"Oh yeah by the way, what's your Quirk?" Ren asked, making Ryuji blink "Huh, mine? Well it's special, I can just build up a static charge when I run",
"Huh must have been tricky in the track team" Ren said, as Ryuji nodded "You know it man, have to wear special shoes to keep from shocking people, if only it was a cooler one like yours".
"Mines just a gun, it's not that impressive" Ren shrugged, before checking the time.
"Ah crap baskets, I gotta move, '' Ren said, quickly getting up and picking up his bag.
"Huh? Guess it is pretty late, I'll shoot you a text later then" Ryuji said, with a wave with Ren waving back before leaving the restaurant.
"Okay, hopefully I won't get lost again" Ren said to himself before walking to the train station while stretching a bit but as he did he passed by two familiar people, Akechi and Sae.
Akechi stopped for only a moment as he looked back at Ren which Sae noticed "Is something wrong".
"Hm, oh nothing just thought I saw someone I recognised but he's much too young" Akechi said, waving it off before the two continued walking while talking about the case.
Leblanc
Third person P.O.V.
"You're late…" Sojiro said, with a stern look on his face as Ren rolled his eyes "Where have you been, I've been waiting for long past closing time".
"Yeah yeah, sorry about that" Ren said, with a different tone "Went for food after school and kinda lost track of time, plus the hero classes were a biiiiiitch".
"You seem… different" Sojiro noted, looking at Ren "Before you were all quiet and reserved, but now…something happened".
"Hmm? Well I guess I made some friends" Ren said, leaning over the counter "There's Ryuji, and I guess I can call Sumi a friend".
"A girl? Heh, maybe you're not as similar to you dad as I thought" Sojiro said, with a smirk but Ren waved it off.
"It's not like that, I helped her friend from a hero school out by offering my seat to him on the train, since he seemed pretty exhausted" Ren explained "As thanks she offered me some of her huge lunch, since I forgot mine…speaking of which I might need to use the kitchen to make some food for myself".
Sojiro raised an eyebrow before shrugging "Fair enough, just try to keep out of trouble, I already have to report to your probation officer twice a month so don't you go and start making more trouble for me".
"Oh come on man, I just got back dude give a poor guy a break" Ren groaned, annoying Sojiro.
"You listen here! This society is kept in check by laws and authority figures! So don't you go dragging anyone else into your business! The last thing we need is more idiots like you going around thinking they can do whatever they want just because of their Quirk '' Sojiro said, as Ren gripped his hand in annoyance and was about to say something when Sojiro's phone started ringing.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Sojiro asked, as he placed his phone onto his ear "Yeah, I'm heading out now…sorry bout that…I know the usual right?".
'They way he's talking…is he talking to a girl?' Ren thought, as Sojiro finished up his call.
"I'm going to bed…" Ren said, as he grabbed his bag and headed to the stairs as Sojiro looked up at him.
"Maybe I was a bit too hard on him…." Sojiro said, rubbing his head before sighing and heading out of the cafe while locking up.
Meanwhile in his room we see Ren currently asleep, but he was tossing and turning in his bed clearly having an odd dream.
Velvet Room
Third person P.O.V.
"Huh, this place again…" Ren mumbled, as laid on his cell bed back in the dirty prison uniform while wearing the cuffs around his body.
"On your feet inmate!" "Our master is waiting" Ren heard, looking over at Caroline banging his cell door with her baton while Justine looked at him with an annoyed expression.
'I swear to god I am going to throw that out of her hands' Ren thought, before getting up and walking towards the jail's door.
"So you have managed to awaken to your Persona, unlocked your potential as a wild card user and have managed to awaken your allies Persona much quicker than expected, quite impressive" Igor said, as Caroline looked at him.
"Our master is giving your words of praise so you better be thankful" Caroline said, making Ren roll his eyes.
"So wait, did you have something to do with us awakening to that power?" Ren asked, as Igor shook his head.
"I did not, that was entirely your own effort all I did was give you the opportunity" Igor explained, making Ren look down.
"An opportunity?" Ren questioned, looking down before his eyes widened "The app! So that was your doing".
"Hmm, seems he's a lot smarter than he looks" Justine said, making Ren sweatdrop.
"Indeed, I expect that power will aid you quite nicely in your rehabilitation" Igor said, with a grin.
"But you still haven't explained to me! What is it you want me to do" Ren asked, as Igor shook his head.
"You will understand when the time comes, everything is for your rehabilitation after all" Igor explained, making Ren frown knowing he wasn't going anywhere with him
"Fine, but can you explain what this Wild card ability is? Does it have to do with me getting Pixie" Ren asked, making Igor smirk.
"Indeed, it is a rare talent that you possess and it will continue to grow the more connections that you make," Igor said, before Ren started getting dizzy.
"So use your Persona and fight or let yourself be-" Igor said, as Ren fell back to sleep
Train Station
Third person P.O.V.
The next day we see Ren at the train station waiting for his train to come by, but as he did he couldn't help but think back to the dream.
'So I was right…Igor was the one who made the app…but why did it give it to me…was it because I have this 'wild card' ability, but how did I get it…and why exactly did i-' "Ah sorry!".
Ren blinked, before looking over to see who had bumped into him and was surprised to see the girl Ann was with, Shiho Suzui.
"Huh? Oh no, it was my fault. I was busy thinking about stuff" Ren said, waving it off as Shiho blinked.
"Wait…you're the boy from the hero course, the one with the record?" She asked, making Ren blink.
"Do I stand out that much?" Ren said, with a confused look.
"Well Kazari-kun boasting about how he was going to beat you kinda helped" She said, surprised Ren.
"Wait…you were there, I totally didn't notice you" Ren said, as she nodded "Yeah I tend to get that effect, oh but I'm glad I ran into you there's something I wanted to ask you, could you help train me?".
"Train you?" Ren questioned, with a raised eyebrow as she nodded.
"Yeah well after the…'extra lessons', I noticed Jiro had actually taken your words to heart and I was wondering if you could help me out with my Quirk too," Shiho asked, as Ren put his hand to his mouth.
"Well I've had a lot of stuff on my plate recently, but I'll consider it," Ren said, making Shiho smile a bit.
"Oh and um, about those Rumours…don't let them get to you alright" Shiho said, surprising Ren before he smiled.
"I don't plan to, I'm not going to regret helping someone" Ren said, before the two got on the train.
"Excuse me you two" The two heard, looking over to see a very skinny man, with long blonde hair with blue eyes wearing a baggy white shirt and baggy trousers walking up to them "You two are from Shujin yeah?".
"O-Oh u-um, y-yes" Shihou said, a bit intimidated by his appearance as Ren nodded.
"Why do you ask?" Ren asked, as he smiled and rubbed his head.
"Not scared of my look, that's a first" He said, with a smile "I was invited over there but I'm not exactly sure of the way".
"Don't tell me are you the hero that's supposed to be coming over" Ren asked, making the man laugh.
"Hahaha! Keh!" he said, coughing a bit of blood surprising the two "S-Sorry about that, but no nothing like that".
As they walked in the man noticed the bandages on Shiho's arms and legs making him raise an eyebrow.
School Gym
Third person P.O.V.
"Oh you made it!" Ryuji said, in his tracksuit as Ren walked up to him in his own Tracksuit which was red in colours with white down the arms and legs, with a white shirt underneath.
"Yo" Ren said, with a wave as he walked up to Ryuji who moved up close.
"Okay so I looked around, looks like all the hero course members are here. We should go up to them one by one" Ryuji suggested, with Ren nodding.
"That's a good idea, but we should probably wait until later. They'd probably be in the gym by now" Ren said, with Ryuji nodding "Good, plus we'd get to see the schedule as well".
With a plan the two partners made their way over to the school gym, to see the start of the relay and see who the guest was, but they didn't expect just who it'd turn out to be.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM HERE! COMING THROUGH THIS CURTAIN!" A loud and inspiring laugh was heard, as they saw the number one hero, All Might, walking through the curtain.
All Might was a massive man with an equally muscular and well-defined physique, his design that looked like a Western comic book superhero.
He has chiselled features on his face with a strong jawline, pronounced cheekbones, and bushy eyebrows. He has short blond hair, swept backward, with two distinct tufts sticking above his head, leaning slightly to each side. His robust features regularly cast a dark shadow over his face, hiding everything but his bright blue eyes.
His hero costume consisted of a skin-tight blue bodysuit decorated with a red symbol that somewhat resembles a "Y", designed with a white diamond at its centre, with white lines connected to it that trace from his chest to his back shoulders; the lines trimmed with the aforementioned red symbol.
The symbol appeared to have wings on the side that ran from atop his torso before ending around his back, over which a similar red and white design was absent of the white diamond. Large white patches lined with red covered each side of his hips before ending at his lower thighs, and he wore a gold belt with a silver buckle with red eyes. His forearm sleeves were coloured in gold; each had white lines covered in blue accents over his wrists, spiked fins on the sides of his arms, and his feet were covered in shin-length gold boots trimmed with white and red accents.
"Greetings! Boys and Girls of Shujin academy! You must be quite surprised to see that I am here to see you all!" All Might said, as the students began cheering and smiling with excitement.
"Holy shit… it really is him, r-right?" Ryuji asked, not sure if this was real or not as Ren nodded.
"Y-Yeah, the number one hero All Might" Ren gulped, feeling the pressure as he saw the number one hero in person.
"Now now All Might, enough with the usual routine I still remember back when you were still a rookie after all" Kamoshida said, before patting All Might's chest.
'Trying to take back the attention huh?' Ren thought, with a frown on his face as Kamoshida turned to the students.
"Now considering how well our hero classes have been going lately, I have managed to get the assistance of U.A. to allow the students to test their skills against actual U.A. training robots, well smaller scale ones" Kamoshida said, with a smug smirk.
"That's right, we'll be having the best of you hero students to test your skills against these drones! And whoever can defeat every single drone will get a magnificent prize! Here is that list now" All Might said, before pressing a button as they saw a holographic projection of a list.
"Dude look" Ryuji said, as Ren looked before his eyes widened.
"My name is there…" he said, before noticing that Shiho's name was missing before he looked over at Shiho with a shocked expression.
School courtyard
Third person P.O.V.
"This is total bullshit!" Ryuji yelled, kicking the wall as he and Ren stood in the courtyard.
"Ryuji c'mon, getting angry isn't going to do anything" Ren said, as Ryuji turned to him.
"Why aren't you more mad! The only reason he put you in there was to humiliate you" Ryuji yelled, as Ren sighed.
"I'm more worried about the other guys, he must have some pretty big confidence in his students if he thinks they can take on robots in ways they've never fought before" Ren said, crossing his arms.
"Anyway now we have some time before your match so now we should go for the strike" Ryuji suggested, as Ren nodded "Yeah, good idea".
The two then proceeded to head into the school building so that they could meet with the students that were preparing for their match or weren't entered.
"Hey you're in the hero course right? We wanted to ask you something" Ryuji asked, as he and Ren walked up to one of the students who had a bruise on his face.
"S-Sakamoto a-and the Transfer student? W-What do you two want" He asked, sounding a bit tense, which Ren didn't blame him for.
"Yesterday after the matches some of you guys were taken by Kamoshida for extra lessons, now so many of you are injured, can you tell us what's going on?" Ren asked, with a concerned look.
"Yeah, he calls it extra lessons but he's actually abusing you guys right!" Ryuji asked, making the boy's eyes widen.
"I-I have no idea w-what youre talking about! J-Just leave me alone" The student said, before running away.
"What the heck?! He couldn't tell us anything" Ryuji growled, as Ren crossed his arms "Well at least we know something is happening".
The rest of the day wasn't much better, as the two of them walked around to ask the other Hero Course student and found the same reactions of the students more or less running away from them, not even Kazari-kun would spill the beans.
"This is bullshit! Why isn't anyone saying anything! Are they just fine with being abused!" Ryuji yelled, punching the wall as Ren crossed his arms.
"Everyone must be scared of what Kamoshida will do to them, like they're on a leash," Ren said, before realising something. "Come to think of it, I don't think I saw any girls back in the palace…maybe it's only the guys getting abused…".
"Oh yeah, maybe they'd be more willing to talk" Ryuji said, crossing his arms "But I don't think any of them would wanna talk to us, you know anyone?".
"Hmm…yeah I think I got an idea" Ren said, before proceeding to tell Ryuji what had happened this morning.
Meanwhile next to the vending machines we see Shiho sitting on the bench with Ann next to her.
"Sorry for asking you out here like this Ann…" Shiho said, with a depressed tone in her voice but Ann shook her head "Nah, don't worry about it Shiho".
"It's just…I haven't been sleeping that well lately…whenever I close my eyes I keep thinking these nasty thoughts… and now that I didn't get into the relay…" Shiho frowned, making Ann smile.
"Hey don't worry about it, besides it's not like it's your fault…it has to be that transfer students fault…" Ann said, but Shiho shook her head "No…he doesn't seem like a bad person…to be honest he actually seems really helpful…the reason for this was me…".
"Hey, don't like that Shiho! Besides who cares about a little relay, your hero licensing exam is only a few months away" Ann said, just trying to support her friend while Shiho frowned "Yeah but…should someone like me really be a hero…"
"Don't worry, just be confident in yourself! Your skills and your Quirk have already been recognized. It's all because you work harder than anyone else'' Ann smiled, with a grin.
"Yeah…my Quirk is the only thing I'm good at…" Shiho nodded, making Ann frown "Shiho…".
Ann then shook her head before looking back at her friend "More importantly, how is your injury? It looked pretty swollen".
"It's nothing, I just have to keep trying and I know I can be as strong as you are" Shiho said, making Ann perk up "Yeah! Don't worry Shiho, I'll always have your back".
Shiho smiled before feeling a vibration and checking her phone "Oh…Mr Kamoshida wants to see me after the event".
"D-Don't worry about it! I bet he's just going to explain why he didn't put you on the list" Ann smiled, with uncertainty in her voice "How about on the weekend we got out and got something to eat!".
"Y-Yeah thanks, well I'm gonna go and practice" Shiho said, getting up with Ann nodding "Yeah! Good luck!"
Ann smiled as she watched her friend turning the corner but then raised an eyebrow when she heard Shiho talking to someone.
"S-Sakamoto and…Amamiya-kun? W-What is it?" Shiho asked, a little worried but Ren just smiled.
"It's nothing we just wanted to ask you something" Ren said, as she gulped "W-Well alright".
"We heard some rumours about the Hero Course and Kamoshida, what does he do to you guys during those 'Extra lessons'" Ryuji asked, making Shiho's eyes widen.
"Mr…Kamoshida…" Shiho said, looking down and was about to say something but then shut her mouth "I-I have to go!".
"H-Hey wait!" Ryuji said, watching as Shiho ran off. The two of them were about to follow him but then Ann came up.
"Shiho! What did you two do to her!" Ann yelled, making Ryuji blink "Calm down, we just wanted to ask her something".
"You were asking about Mr Kamoshida weren't you! And you too Transfer student! Why are you suddenly all buddy buddy with Sakamoto and doing all this stuff on your second day" Ann yelled, walking up to Ren as he blinked.
"We just wanted to know some stuff? Like why everyone looked injured" Ren explained, while Ryuji crossed his arms.
"...I see. I getcha. You're all buddy-buddy with Kamoshida after all." Ryuji said, only for Ann to glare at Ryuji.
"This has nothing to do with him, Sakamoto!" Ann yelled, as Ryuji glared at him.
"If you found out what he's been doin' behind your back, you'd dump him right away." Ryuji yelled, making Ren raise an eyebrow at that.
"Behind my back...? What's that supposed to mean?" Ann questioned, only for Ryuji to look at Ren and then back. "You wouldn't get it."
"Anyway, people are already talking about you two. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but nobody's gonna help you." she said, turning around before looking back at Ren "I'm warning you, just in case. That's all."
She turned and walked away from them as Ryuji growled "Why's she gotta be so aggressive all the time?"
"You know her?" Ren asked, making Ryuji sigh "Yeah kinda, we went to the same middle school together".
Ren then felt a vibration before checking his phone and frowning "Shit…looks like it's my turn".
"For real? Already?" Ryuji said, as Ren sighed "No other choice, you keep asking people and I'll go head to the gym".
"Alright…" Ryuji said, before frowning "But who else is there I can ask…oh wait, there's that guy…".
Changing room
Third person P.O.V.
"Phew" Ren said, now changed into the special made combat uniform supplied by U.A.
From what he heard nobody had managed to beat the course yet, Kazari-kun was the closest but even he couldn't get past it.
"God this is going to be hell…" Ren mumbled, as he looked over the Hero items that he was allowed to use for the practice.
"Hmm, it'll be a hassle if I brought too many, '' Ren mumbled to himself before he noticed a certain item.
"A Hookshot?" He blinked, looking at them which was a glove with a chain wrapped around the arms and a blade on a mechanism on the wrist.
"This might work well with my style" Ren said, equipping the Hero item as well as grabbing a few smaller items like smoke bombs and taser plates.
"Hmm, not bad" he said, looking at his items before striking a few poses including pointing his finger gun but something was odd.
"A ring?" Ren questioned, and as he said, included with the small blue ball was a glowing ring around it and when he added his middle finger to the finger gun the ring grew bigger "Hmm…no, I don't have time to question it".
Ren sighed before shaking his head "Even if I don't win…I can at least try my best, maybe even show why Kamoshida's training sucks.
"Alright…it's showtime" Ren said, with a serious look before leaving the gym.
Meanwhile in the Gym we see several students on the bleachers, chatting and talking away.
The battle ground was still the mountainous arena but this time had a barrier surrounding it with several battle drones wandering the arena.
All Might was sitting among the teachers they did attend, including Principal Kobayakawa and Kamoshida.
"Quite the excellent show Kamoshida" Kobayakawa said, as Kamoshida smiled "Hehe, well they are my students we've all worked very hard last year".
'And yet none of them have done that well' All Might taught, looking over at Kamoshida.
He had already heard the rumours about his old senpai and the school, with the amount of injuries to the students it wouldn't surprise them if they were true but still Kamoshida was never like this the last time they met and it's not like the school had the same recovery tech as U.A.
"Ah! Here comes the next competitor…oh…" Kobayakawa said, with a frown catching All Might's attention.
"Hmm?" All Might hummed, with a raised eyebrow before looking only to be surprised at Ren walking into the field "That boy…".
"Oh you mean the transfer student? Don't expect anything from him, especially with his record" Kamoshida sighed, catching All Might's attention.
"Record? You mean he has a criminal record" All Might asked, looking over at his old Senpai, the boy didn't seem like someone who would have one especially since he accepted his skinny form without being freaked out.
"Indeed, though I am surprised that you let him on the list Kamoshida" Kobayakawa said, as Kamoshida smirked.
"Well he managed to win against one of the best students here, by sheer luck of course, so I thought maybe going against a real threat would make him less cocky, not like his Quirk will do much" Kamoshida explained, as Kobayakawa smiled.
"Excellent idea Kamoshida, this is perfect for his rehabilitation" Kobayakawa smiled, while All Might watched Ren, interested to see what he is really like.
Ren was silent as he walked onto the stadium, already hearing people murmuring about him, questioning why he was even here.
'Don't forget…I'm not gonna let what happened hold me back' he thought, before looking up at his challenge which involved taking down 15 of the many robots around the arena, seemingly simple but these robots were very large and powerful, with the monsters that were destroyed being 10 so far.
'This is going to be a challenge, even for my Quirk…' he thought, looking at his hand before gripping it 'But I can only do my best'.
After the timer went off, Ren was the first to move quickly taking cover and dodging the shots made from the robots.
"Okay looks like I'll need to take one out at a time." he said, looking around before spotting a lone robot in the distance.
"I'll probably need multiple shots so let's take one at a-woah" Ren yelped, as instead of a single energy bullet being shot almost a dozen was blasted at the robot destroying it.
"W-What?!" Kamoshida gasped, watching as the robot was destroyed by a single attack which caught All Might and Kobayakawa's attention.
"U-Uh nothing, just was surprised is all" Kamoshida said, before sitting down with a serious look, after all Ren's quirk didn't show nearly enough strength, especially not enough to blow up a U.A. robot in one go.
"That's…new?" Ren blinked, slowly getting up and looking at his hand, his Quirk always worked by pressing his palm and firing a bullet but this time it was way more bullets he ever shot in one go.
"It really has changed" Ren said, as he attempted to test it out again "What hell happened to my Qui-".
"But a fair warning, what you went through was a complete awakening, it's not just an awakening of your Persona".
"Was this what he meant… did awakening the Persona, power up my Quirk?" he said, before adding in another finger.
"Well might as well see what two fingers does" he said, aiming at another robot head not noticing a drone sneaking up behind.
"Here goes nothing-woah?!" Ren said, firing again but this time the bullet didn't go straight and instead moved behind him towards the robot causing the robot to explode.
"I didn't even notice that?!" he blinked in surprise, so two fingers would go for the nearest enemy to him? That was…amazing!.
"Wow! My Quirk's not just powered up! It's remixed! This is amazing" Ren smiled, as he looked back at the robot before ripping one of the sharp legs.
"And I can use this for a Knife for Melee, which was surprisingly not that bad back in the Palace" Ren said, looking at his 'knife' before hearing movement.
"Ah right, probably got their attention" he said, readying his hook shot before firing at the structure above him.
The hook shot then pulled him up to the top of the structure only to be met by five more flying drones all aiming "OH COME ON!"
"Dang, he fell into the same trap as the others" "Guess he wasn't all that great after all" "But his Quirk totally makes sense for a villain like him" "Yeah! When are they going to kick him out".
Ren sweatdrops at the comments while looking up at the robots aiming their charging weapons at him, trying to figure out how to get out of this.
"Senpai! I know you can do this!"
Ren's eyes widened as he glanced over at Sumi who was cheering for him even when the rest of the students were talking shit about him.
"Yeah…I almost forgot" Ren said, gripping his hand before looking up "IT'S SHOWTIME!".
Ren grinned before taking out the small taser devices and throwing them at the drones, shocking their systems which was followed by Ren running towards the robots before slipping off the structure.
Everyone gasped at that, Ren falling off and potentially injuring himself or worse but then a hook shot was fired at the roof.
"Did you really think I'd do that?" Ren smirked, as he swung around behind the robots while aiming his finger at him.
He then proceeded to fire rapid shots at the robots side, destroying all five drones at once, shocking the students even more.
Ren then noticed the rest of the robots firing away at him, but Ren only smirked as he brought the grappling hook back to him.
He then began spinning in place, allowing him to dodge the shots that were fired at him as he began landing towards one of the robots.
Taking out the knife Ren proceeded to stab the robot right in the eye camera, before jumping back and finishing with another energy shot causing the robot to explode.
He then looked over to see the rest of the robots already aiming their weapons at him and charging up.
"Well might as well try this out" he said, as he placed both hands together into a two finger gun.
This allowed him to charge up an especially large energy ball that continued growing bigger, which started to worry the students watching him.
Even when the robots did fire, the beams were only absorbed into the energy ball making it bigger and bigger.
"W-With something that big! He can blow up the whole gym?!" Kobayakawa yelled, as Kamoshida growled.
"Damn it! I knew he was crazy but not this crazy! I'll have to reign him in!" Kamoshida yelled, but All Might stood up as well "Huh?".
"I don't think so old buddy, I think you might be surprised" All Might stated, with a grin as they looked at Ren.
"FIRE!" Ren yelled, before firing the energy ball and getting knocked back due to the kickback.
The energy flew towards the ground but as it did it began splitting apart into about 25-30 different shots which all moved around, destroying each of the robots on the ground.
The students and teachers were shocked at this display, before Ren ended it with a spin and pulling his gloved hand.
"Show's over!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! A FINE DISPLAY!" He heard, before All Might jumped from the stand down to him. "Your report doesn't give your Quirk enough credit, who would have thought you'd be able to use it in such a variety of ways".
"Hahahahahaha, w-well yes we sure did work hard! It's all thanks to my training, isn't that right Amamiya" Kamoshida smiled, but Ren pushed him away.
"I literally met you yesterday dude, back off" Ren said, pushing Kamoshida away a bit which annoyed him.
"But yeah, I don't really know what happened, my Quirk just suddenly changed out of nowhere…it was normal yesterday but now…" Ren said, looking at his hands trying to figure it out.
"Hmm, I think this is known as a Quirk Awakening, it's rare but it basically changes how your Quirk works after you go through something challenge" All Might guessed, before looking at Ren "Tell me young man, have you gone through anything Physically or Mentally challenging recently?".
"Uuuuuuuuuhhhhh…" Ren mumbled, thinking back to how he ripped off his metaphorical face while laughing like a madman "...No…"
"Hmm well you surely have great potential to become a fine hero one day" All Might said, with a large grin.
"A hero…yeah…" Before coming to the school, Ren would have been elated seeing the number one hero saying this to him…but now, after seeing how this society failed him and awakening to his spirit of rebellion…the title of hero just felt like it didn't fit for him anymore.
"Well anyway, here is your prize" All Might said, before handing him some tickets "VIP tickets to the U.A. Sports festival for you and three of your friends!".
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?!" The students screamed out in complete and total shock.
"O-Oh, oh!" Ren blinked, honestly surprised how big the prize was but then a thought came to his mind as he looked behind him to see literally every student looking down at him with gleaming eyes.
'I…may have a fucked up…' Ren thought, with a sweatdrop as he looked back down at the tickets.
Meanwhile Kamoshida was glaring down at Ren with a look of disgust, how can some criminal be better then all of the students he was personally training and not only that, but claim to say he had nothing to do with it… looks like he was going to need to 'relieve' some of this stress.
School Roof
Third person P.O.V.
"DUDE! THAT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!" Ryuji yelled, excitedly as the two hung out on the school roof away from the students trying to get Ren's attention for the tickets.
"It was nothing, we did way more stuff in the palace" Ren said, waving it off before getting serious "By the way, you find anyone yet?".
"No, I tried one person, Mishima but he said some real bad shit" Ryuji explained, making Ren raise an eyebrow "What did he say?".
"He said everyone already knows, the parents, the teachers and even the principal, they just don't care. All they want is for the students to get a recommendation from Kamoshida for the Hero course to increase the schools image" Ryuji explained, surprising Ren.
"What but that's fucked up!" Ren yelled, as Ryuji turned to him "I know right! And it looks like nobody else is going to say anything either, shit what are we meant to do".
"We can't exactly get help from the Heroes or the Police, they'd call us crazy if we told them about the Metaverse…" Ren mumbled, closing his eyes "If only taking down the king would do something".
"Looks like you got the right idea".
The two blinked looking around with Ryuji raising an eyebrow "You say something?".
"Hey down here!" Following the voice, they were surprised to see a Black Cat surprising the two.
"T-The cat's talking?!" Ryuji yelled, even for a society of super powers this was especially weird.
"I am not a cat! This just happened when I came to this world! You two gave a lot of trouble trying to find you." The cat yelled, catching Ren's attention.
"Wait that voice…is that you Morgana!" Ren gasped, making the cat smirk "The one and only".
"Wait hold up! How did you get to our world! Do you got a phone?!" Ryuji yelled, as Morgana looked at him "Of course not, I just left the sameway you two bozo's did".
"But anyway, I heard you two are having some trouble with the king so I think our two goals may work hand in hand" Morgana smirked, making Ryuji blink "What do you mean".
"Simple, its what this guy said earlier, we need to attack his castle" Morgana said, as Ryuji looked at him confused "What do you mean?"
"The Palace is connected to his heart right, so if it disappears then it would impact Kamoshida greatly and if his manifestation of his distorted were to go then…" Morgana said, with Ren realising it.
"Then his desires would go too!" Ren gasped, making Morgana smirk "Percisely, you sure pick up things fast".
"For real?! H-He's gonna turn good!" Ryuji gasped, with a smile before realising something "But…is that really getting back at him".
"Erasing a Palace essentially means forcing someone to have a change of heart, without a Palace to boost his desire all the guilt he has pushed away will come crashing down onto him and being unable to bare the weight he'll confess those crimes himself" Morgana explained, as Ryuji smiled.
"For real! That's possible!" Ryuji yelled, with Ren nodding "Yeah, that seems almost too good to be true".
"And he won't even know what we did, pretty amazing huh? All we have to do is steal the treasure held deep within the Palace" Morgana explained, as Ren raised an eyebrow "His Treasure?".
"I'll tell you once you agree, so how about" Morgana asked, as Ryuji and Ren looked at each other.
"Well out looks running out with the witnesses, so why not" Ryuji said, with Ren closing his eyes and thinking about it.
"But wait, what happens after we get rid of his Palace, it is his desire so are you saying we'll erase it completely?" Ren asked, making Morgana frown.
"Ah you figured that part out" Morgana said, with a frown."If we do this, Kamoshida will lose the desire to survive, he would no longer want to sleep, eat, fall in love those types of things…he'd essentially be an empty husk and shut down completely…they might even die if they're not cared for properly".
"Holy shit!" Ryuji yelled, stepping back "They might die?! I know I hate the guy but to kill him is…".
"Your right, I don't want to kill him" Ren said, shaking his head even after everything Kamoshida has done he doesn't deserve this.
"Hah, I figured you guys would act like that, but this is your only option" Morgana said, looking up at them "I'll give you some time to think about it, then tell me your answer tomorrow".
The two watched Morgana leaving before looked at each other with conflicted expressions on their faces.
Shibuya
Third Person P.O.V.
We see Ren getting off the train after school, the Morgana told him were still in his mind.
'I know what Kamoshida is doing is unforgivable…does it mean he deserves to die…' Ren thought, a frown on his face.
'Not only that…but if we actually did it…we'd be not better then him in the end…' Ren thought, before looking up 'What am I meant to do…'.
"Wait, what?! That's not what you promised!"
Ren blinked, before looking over at the familiar Ann Takamaki talking on the phone with someone.
"And you call yourself a teacher?! This has nothing to do with Shiho!" Ann yelled, making Ren blink.
'A teacher…and Shiho…does she mean Kamoshida' Ren thought, before walking up.
He was then surprised when she looked stunned and her arm dropped. She crouched down, tucking her head into herself. "Shiho's dream…"
"H-Hey…are you..." Ren asked, catching Ann's attention as he looked over at him allowing Ren to see the tears welling up in her eyes.
"W-Were you listening to me" She asked, standing up as Ren rubbed his head "Uh not on purpose…sorry".
"Haven't you heard of privacy?" She scoffed, before pushing her irritation away with a deep sigh "No, sorry I… Just forget this ever happened."
Ren watched as Ann proceeded to run off into the train station, making him frown not wanting to leave her alone so he followed her.
"Stop following me! Just leave me alone already!" She yelled, still having tears in her eyes as she looked back at Ren who frowned,
"If you really want me to leave, then I'll leave…but there's clearly something wrong…so I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk" Ren asked, as Ann began slowing down near a cylinder.
"I- Just leave me alone, I…Why... What the heck…?" she said, sliding down with tears streaming down her face causing some murmurs coming from the people around them.
"We...we should go somewhere safe" Ren suggested, with Ann nodding before the two got up and left.
And done, man this was actually a really fun chapter to work on I'm actually really happy with how this story is going on, focusing on the P5 stuff but having BNHA stuff come in slowly.
But anyway, we had our first look at All Might and it seems like he is looking into the Kamoshida stuff and yes he will be there to see the first calling card.
Also I have decided on most of the Quirks for the character, the only ones that aren't decided are Yusuke and Haru, so if you have any ideas tell me.
So for now how about we get to the reviews.
Shadowjoestar: I've already decided on Makoto's Quirk and isn't Sun Wukong already Ryuji's second Persona
Blueassassin996: Thanks, glad that you understood why I made it so quick.
TheBeatles211: I already told you about the Quirk ideas I had but I do like the idea of them being seemingly useless which I used for the actually Quirks and I don't plan on giving Izuku a Persona since where the story goes up to in BNHA timeline I don't see him getting a will of rebellion…plus he already has One For All, he is not getting a Persona.
Ryustin: He's not getting a Persona, I never even considered it.
Grand Chaos Master: Well I want there Quirks to fit their Personalities rather then their Persona, so him having a gun for a Quirk is reflective of him having a criminal record. Also their Quirks don't work in Palaces so they still need to buy weapons
But anyway don't forget to review and favourite this story, and of course.
See you next chapter
