Smoke 8

Thankfully, En was undisturbed as he navigated his descendants body through the streets of Japan. If anyone was paying attention to the teen l, they'd notice a slightly glazed look in his eyes.

He had managed to sneak past a purple haired girl. He'd seen her and his descendent had good taste in women. While not the most statuesque as most women, there was a spine of steel in her with a an attitude of 'don't push me'. He was going to spare his grandson some embarrassment and found his assigned seat.

The fade

"Right, I need to control my heart and think about which of your quirks I'm going to need and it'll work?" Harry summarised.

Yoichi nodded "And with time you'll be able to switch between our quirks on a whim. The most crucial for your fighting style that Ive seeng are Hikage's, Followed by 2nd and 3rd. 6ths is natural and 5th well slightly redundant if I'm honest."

Harry nodded "Danger sense, Gearshift and Fa Jin…thanks." With that Harry seamlessly swapped places with his Grandfather who nodded in approval at him, before he woke up.

He found himself waking up with his head on his arms with Jiro making her way over. "I was waiting for you but you didn't show. What gives?"

"Jiro, my quirk is evolving…so I avoided you because I was processing that information."

Jiro heard Harry's heart rate momentarily increase. "Is this to do with Alexandre Dumas?" That was the best phrase she knew of to talk about the battle of One For All and All For One.

"Yes…turns out All Might has given me a 2/3rd Strength One whilst Midoriya's got the full thing."

Jiro's eyes widened but dropped the subject as their classmates began to pile in. Harry spied their teacher in the corner but chose not to say anything, he opened the window and took a drag on his vape. "Hey! Smoker-San!" Harry turned to find the Engine Kid who'd berated him at the exam bowing to enough.

"Yeah, Engine?

"I WISH TO APOLOGISE FOR CHASTISING YOU! I SHOULD NOT…"

"Enough with the apologies. It's fine, just remember to think about why I'm doing something." Jiro meanwhile took the vape and blew a perfect set of smoke rings.

"Blueberry and Watermelon?"

Harry shrugged "It's a nice flavour."

Jiro smirked "Any consequences for smoking this flavour?"

Harry chuckled and whispered in her ear "Only it makes my smoke smell of it. Similar to making my juice smell like pineapple." He dodged the earphones aimed for his neck as Jiro turned an adorable bright red.

"Pervert!"

"You asked."

"Not even the first day in and I smell a couple forming. Hi, I'm, Ashido Mina. When did you two get together? How'd you meet?"

Jiro and Harry both blushed "We're not. And I went to school with her cousin." Harry explained.

Mina's eyes widened in amusement and then horror "Then why are you here? What course were you on?"

"Hogwarts School for Heroics. The Department for British Heroics is rather insular from the rest of the government and well they pulled me on some bullshit charges which my Headmaster managed to turn into expulsion. So I'm here, my Headmaster reasoned some time abroad would allow for calmer heads and renegotiation."

Soon enough Aizawa stood up and the school day began. All twenty students of class 1-A assembled on one of the many training grounds. "Alright, this set of tests you should be familiar with from your normal school experiences, however, you're at UA meaning you are allowed to use your quirks."

Aizawa pulled out a ball and casually chucked it to Harry who caught it without much trouble. "Do you know how far you could throw that?"

"With or without my quirk?"

"Both, your Headmaster was notoriously reluctant in handing over your records."

Harry scowled and the ground around him began to burn "Of course…even now, when he says he wants to help me he's screwing me over. Only one way to find out."

With that he compressed his quirk into a singular point and released the ball. "666.66metres. Not bad a throw."

Harry shrugged "Quirks undergoing an awakening…so, my scores might be a little…erratic."

With that the day of testing began. Harry quickly found himself just outside the top three students, those being Yaoyorozu, Todoroki and Bakugo.

Bakugo having noticed Harry was in his class, managed to keep his volatile temper in check. "We're still going to have that fight right?"

Harry nodded "Of course. Not sure when or how we're going to organise it but rest assured we're going to have that fight."

Bakugo nodded "What does that Useless Deku think he's doing?"

"He wants to be a hero. And the fact he wants to do it just because he wants to help people…that's commendable. You're all doing better than me all of you."

Bakugo stared at him "What the actual fuck."

Kirishima looked at Harry with horror "Dude, if you don't want to be here then don't."

Harry's eyes flashed "Don't tell me what to do. I'm becoming a hero not because I want to but because I'm expected to. My father's family have given their lives to fight against evil all the way back to the 1100s pre-quirk 1100 that is before I begin to run out of information. So I'm going to be the hero I want to be."

Aizawa nodded approvingly "I know your backstop, Potter. I'm surprised that you haven't become a villain yet."

Harry "I could…but I've got things to do that I can't as a villain. Anyway, we have testing to do."

Harry came joint first at the sit up and push up challenges, second in the long jump. 10th in the side stepping and 15th in the strength test. Harry was tired, sweaty and quite frankly gagging for his vape.

"Kyoka, please, give me my vape." Harry rasped.

The purple haired girl giggled, before taking another smoke of it "And what do I get in return?"

"Name your price."

Everyone winced, those were dangerous words. Many a good man had faltered at those words. Jiro pursed her lips "Walk me home from school."

"Done."

"I didn't say I was finished. You said name your price and I've not finished yet. But let's say you owe me three non-refusable favours."

Harry smirked, he liked this girl. Oh how he really liked her "Deal."

Jiro handed the vape over, and Harry inhaled the fruity flavours like a man starving of hunger. "Alright, grab your class syllabus and go. Potter, a word."

Harry waited whilst the class dispersed "Sensei?"

"You said your quirk was awakening. I need to know what I'm going to need to know what your anticipating with your awakening."

Harry sighed. Aizawa had been nothing but a solid lifeline to him since he'd been present. The duo had bonded remarkably well to the point where Harry had been able to let down his guard. "I'm anticipating more pyrokinesis and smoke manipulation along with a danger sense, a whiplike quirk, a power converter and a mass damage multiplier."

"That doesn't sound like a quirk awakening."

"It's easier to stomach than saying hey, I've just acquired through my grandfather a 6th Generation Quirk Stockpile Quirk and I need to use the Quirk Stockpile to help kill a man who's been alive since the dawn of quirks."

Aizawa stopped "Is this related too Midoriya?"

Harry nodded "It is. Midoriya's got the full quirk, I've got up to the 6th Wielder…my grandfather."

Aizawa sighed "I'll have a word with the Rat and the the Buffoon."

"Don't chew out the moron too badly…he didn't think this through properly."

"And because he didn't think this through is why I'm going to chew him out. Go on, your girl is waiting."

Harry paused "She's not…"

Aizawa gave his mentee a raised eyebrow "Really? The fact you agreed to her requests so quickly suggests otherwise."

Harry nodded "She gets me, Sensei. She's able to look underneath all the money and wealth, and she accepts that I'm a wreck. The only reason I've not asked her out is because what I want might not be what she wants."

"All you need to do is ask. The worst she can say is no."

Harry nodded "I'll ask her."

Jiro waited patiently, or, as patiently as she could. Eventually, she sat down on the front steps, closed her eyes and began to meditate. Harry had been amazing! He'd seen her quirk and not dismissed it as a reconnaissance quirk, he had begun to teach her how to detect varying rhythms around her and how to manipulate them. Harry had told her it'd be easier through her jacks than her body but it didn't mean she couldn't try.

She detected it, Harry's heartbeat. He seemed apprehensive about something, almost as if something was on his mind. "Hey, Smoke."

Harry chuckled "Sorry, waiting long?"

"Long enough for me to start practicing. Somethings bugging you."

Harry sighed "Not something. Someone."

Jiro's heart skipped a beat "Want to talk about it? Tell me about them?"

Harry paused "This is purely hypothetical, Jiro."

"Purely hypothetical?"

Harry shrugged "Depends."

Jiro paused, her heart feeling like it was going to be torn apart. "Go on."

"There's this girl, has this vibe about her that resonates 'this shit don't phase me', anyway my friend introduced me to her, told me that I'd get along with her. Honestly, when I met her oh my goodness my heart skipped a beat. When I'm around her, I feel less like I'm someone's puppet she makes me feel like I'm able to be me and the me that I feel most comfortable with. I really want to ask her out but when I go to ask her, I don't want to alienate her as she's become a very dear friend to me."

Jiro paused, as she thought about the information. "He said, his friend introduced her. The two girls happen to be cousins…me…Harry, likes me!"

"Harry…" Jiro looked at him and grey eyes locked onto green "...answer me honestly."

"Alri…" He didn't get to finish as Jiro wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him briefly on the lips.

"I've…been wanting to do that for a while. Now, I want you to walk me home Mr. Boyfriend."

Harry grinned and he hugged her close "Just so you know, I'm in for the long haul."

Jiro nodded "Just so I know…anything I need to know?"

Harry paused "I'll introduce you to my friends. They'll be able to assist you in helping me both as a friend and my girlfriend. Just so you know…I can be overly giving."

Jiro cocked her head "How'd you mean?"

Harry chuckled "I can't give all my secrets now can I? Now I believe we have some primer to read and a train to catch." Kyoka giggled and she pulled out her phone.

"Who're you messaging?"

Kyoka stopped, shifted left so Harry ended up walking right behind her, he didn't notice the sound of a camera activating. He did however notice 'Katie' as the recipient. He caught the last two messages.

'How'd I get Harry to be my Boyfriend?'

'Harry's…complicated. He probably won't read the subtleties he prefers straightforward honesty. If you need to, just straight out kiss him.'

"You've been communicating with Heartbeat."

Jiro's eyes widened "Oh yeah, my cousin, Heartbeat…she introduced us. I should have clocked it sooner. You've been helping me with my quirk based on what she's done?"

"Yup and what she's used on me…I'll tell you this, you don't have the immediate capacity for brute force firefighting like Heartbeat, but she doesn't have nearly the skill you do for tracking. Besides Katie's a smart woman, she'll work it out."

Kyoka giggled "Whereas I can learn to 'brute force'."

"Learning brute force is easy. The subtler things are what makes for better heroes." Harry retorted and they climb onto the train, Harry slackened his tie and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. Kyoka did the same only minus the shirt.

The duo loosely held hands as they disembarked the train and headed to Jiro's house. The duo opened their backpacks and began to read through the primer. Jiro was impressed at how quickly Harry was learning Japanese, he'd been decent student level when they'd met but now he was near enough fluent. His handwriting was atrocious however.

The duo finished their reading, and fell asleep on the sofa. To be more specific Harry fell asleep on the sofa and Jiro was using his chest as a pillow.

Mika and Kyotoku couldn't resist taking a picture and placing a blanket on the duo. They'd had a stressful few days, and it also helped that Kyotoku genuinely liked the Smoke manipulating team. "Leave them be. I'll notify Sirius and say that his Godson is here."
