HOW?! NEW CHAPTER?!
It's not april fools today, right?
It isn't?
wow…
Anyway
Enjoy.
~1-A Classroom~
"Now for today's basic hero training… This time, All Might, myself and one other will supervise." Aizawa said
'... I'm not completely sure… But I think something is supposed to happen today.' The first season of the anime was the one she was most familiar with, especially with it being one of the first anime she watched. So that means that her memories, while not perfect, do help her a little in knowing what's to come. 'I don't remember much, but I do remember an attack and some kind of Frankenstein-like monster. It's not much, but at least I won't be completely caught off guard.'
This knowledge did not help the pit forming in her stomach, but it was better than being unaware.
"Um, what're we doing, exactly?!" Sero asked.
"Preparing you for disaster relief, from fires to floods." Aizawa responded, showing a card with the letters "Rescue" in a stylized font.
'So rescue training, huh?' Certainly, something a hero would need to learn early. Even during their formative years, hero students are present during disasters whenever there's a hero school close, or whenever they are doing their internship.
"Hey, I'm not done," Aizawa said, glaring at his students who started talking among themselves about the rescue training. His glare was scary. "It's up to each of you whether or not you wear your costumes. As some of them are ill-suited to this sort of activity." Thankfully, Kei's costume was quite light in comparison to some of her classmates, the only thing that would be annoying on this occasion would be the wide sleeves, but even then, she had to get used to the outfit.
'And I don't think it would do me any good to do that type of fanservice…' She thought, remembering how the bodysuit accentuated her body, especially in the breast area. 'Nope'
"There's a bus waiting for you outside, go change fast" Aizawa ordered, and everyone took their suitcases and left the classroom.
~On the bus to USJ~
'It feels like I'm on my way to war' She had never been in a war, but she imagined this is how it felt.
The day was getting hot, and that is usually not great for her tail fur. Thankfully, she found a nice spot on the bus alongside Todoroki. He may be an awkward seatmate, but he is a great source of cooling. 'At least that hideous block of ice on his side is useful for something'
"I generally say what's on my mind, Midoriya," Asui said.
"Oh?! What is it, Asui?" Midoriya asked.
"Call me Tsu." She said "Your quirk resembles All Might's"
"Huh?! R-Really?! Nah, I mean, I…" Midoriya couldn't find a way to respond to that.
'I'm pretty sure they are the same quirk, Asui' But she can't say that out loud. It's not her secret to tell, after all.
As she didn't have much else to do, she decided to listen in on the conversation happening in front of her, which she was pretty sure actually happened in canon. She also noticed how Jiro had brought her phone and was listening to music through the ear jacks on her ear lobes. 'She is listening to… AC/DC? Didn't know their music survived all these years… I'll have to ask her where she got the files from, almost all of the music from those years has been lost,'
A lot of music from before Quirks is considered lost media, only remembered through rare forum posts and archives on the internet. 'Even Bohemian Rhapsody has been lost… that's just an absolute shame! Whole generations of people have not heard one of the most culturally important songs! Blasphemy!' Only through rigorous searching has she been able to find the files for some of those songs.
"You wanna talk strong and cool? That'd be Todoroki and Bakugo." Kirishima said.
'But Bakugo's so unhinged. He'd never be popular" Asui said, proving that, just like Uraraka, she says whatever pops into her mind.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY, FROGFACE?!"
"See."
"We've only barely started socializing and already you've made it abundantly clear to us the unpleasantness of your steamed turd of a personality," Kaminari said… Another one…
'Oh wow, that was uncalled for…' -1 points for Kaminari in Kei's mind for being mean.
"Yeah, okay, Mr. Vocabulary. How about I pound you?!" Bakugo said, clearly not understanding the double meaning of his words.
"Careful with your phrasing, Bakugo," Kei said.
"SHOULD I CARE, FOXY?!"
'Foxy?'
"We're here. Look sharp, now…" Aizawa said, catching the attention of the class.
""Okay!""
"This is…" Massive. The anime and manga did not do it justice, the sheer size of this facility was ridiculous. "This is stupid… I love it."
"There's the flood zone. Landslide zone. Conflagration zone… etc. Every disaster and accident you can imagine. I built this facility. I call it… The "Unforeseen Simulation Joint"!" Thirteen, who appeared from behind a pillar for dramatic effect, said.
'So just USJ… huh'
"It's the space hero, Thirteen!" Midoriya said with clear excitement.
"She's a gentleman hero who does his best work in rescue scenarios!" Uraraka chimed in.
Aizawa approached Thirteen and asked her something, it was low enough that she couldn't hear all of it, but she did hear something about "His limit", probably referring to All Might and his waning stamina.
"Before we start, I have one or two points… or three… four…" Thirteen explained how quirks are dangerous weapons, and how they should be careful with their use. Uraraka was hyper-fangirling the whole time. It almost makes you forget that she can drop people to their deaths with a touch.
Throughout the whole talk, Kei's sights were in the center of the USJ.
A dot of black and purple mist appeared, and from inside, a man came out. 'It's the same guy from the gate…' He had a severed hand covering his face and multiple others grabbing onto his body. Through the "mask" you could see his dry skin. 'That looks… worse than I thought it would…'
The sickly feeling came back. 'Relax…' Breath in… Breath out. 'In the anime, everything went fairly well… Everything is going to be ok'
"Huddle up and don't move!" Aizawa shouted at his students. "Thirteen! Protect the students!"
More people came from the gate, including the monster. 'What is that thing… Is that the Frankenstein monster I remember?' It was imposing, promising a world of hurt if anyone dared attack it.
"What the heck's that?! More battle robots? Like during the entrance exam?" Kirishima asked.
"Don't move. Those are villains!" Those words instantly put everyone on edge. As much as everyone wanted to become a hero, they were completely aware of how unprepared they were for a real villain fight.
That sentiment was not shared by everyone, though.
"Thirteen… and Eraser Head, is it? According to the staff schedule I received the other day, All Might is supposed to be here." The mist man said.
'So it was them that destroyed the U.A. Gate…'
The hand villain started scratching his neck. "Where is he…? We've come all this way. And brought so many playmates… All Might… The symbol of peace… is he here?" He asked. "I wonder if some dead kids will bring him here?" He said with clear glee.
The students were panicking, only some of them, like Yaoyorozu and Todoroki, were calmer.
"Kaminari, try using your quirk to signal for help" Aizawa said to Kaminari, before putting his goggles on and preparing for battle.
"But sensei, you can't fight them all alone! Against that many… even you can't nullify all their Quirks!" Midoriya said, concerned about his teacher.
"No good hero is a one-trick pony. Thirteen! Take care of them" Thirteen nodded at that.
Eraser Head leaped into battle, instantly taking out two villains. 'So cool…'
"Inari! Come on, we are leaving!" Ida shouted, breaking Kei out of her fangirling.
They tried to leave, but a thick black and purple mist got in their way. "I won't allow that" He stopped them and started talking in a polite tone. "Greetings. We are the League of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but today we've come here to U.A. High school, this bastion of heroism, to end the life of All Might, the Symbol of Peace." That seemed to shake everyone, especially Midoriya. "We're under the impression that All Might would be here…"
Without arousing suspicion, Kei started slowly moving the sand that was in the forest below.
"My role-" A chain of glass shot through the air and straight at the villain, with the intent of restraining him, but it just went through him. At the same time, both Kirishima and Bakugo attacked the villain.
"That was close. You kids should be careful with your powers, you might seriously harm someone without meaning it… Anyway…" The mist started to shake "Begone" And it expanded, covering everyone in front of the villain. Kei tried to get away but was too slow, Only having enough time to bring some sand to her side. 'Shit!' And they were gone, only leaving behind the villain and some students that somehow escaped the mist.
"Where…"
~Landslide Zone~
The first thing she saw was the Landslide Zone.
From above.
'In the air?! This bastard!' She hastily made a chain and grabbed herself with it. Looking around, she noticed a pair of floating gloves, and Todoroki. 'They are also here? Wait! They'll die!' Using the remaining sand, she made two other chains and used them to grab and gently put the two kids on the ground, she soon followed. "Is everyone ok?!"
"Y-Yeah… Thanks for that." The gloves, Hagakure, said, clearly shaken by the experience of weightlessness.
"Thanks." Todoroki said, keeping his cool attitude, but also shaken by the experience, guessing by the trembling hands.
"Hehehe… We've got a girl, lucky!" Someone said, making Kei shake in disgust.
'Ugh… Why?'
"Idiot, we have a job to do."
"But can't we have some fun? We'll be free either way at the end!"
"Hmm… Maybe…" One of the villains said, looking at Kei with lustful eyes.
'That fucker! Creepy bastard…' She thought, but she soon felt something. The leader clearly was unaware of every kid's powers, as they seemed to have teleported everyone randomly.
The landslide zone, this place was comprised of multiple materials. Dirt. Cement. Brick. Steel.
Sand.
A predatory smile appeared on Kei's face. She was in her element. "Stay close, everyone. I don't want to hit you by accident." They complied and approached Kei.
The sand below their feet started to lift up, blocking their eyesight. "Close your eyes"
"They're doing something, attack!" One of the villains, a big muscly one, said, and everyone attacked. Through his hurting stomach, Todoroki sent a small wave of ice at said Villain, before his sight was completely blocked by the sand.
'Behind' Before the villain could move further, sand started pooling in his feet, and forming into glass, preventing him from moving. A block of glass was sent flying into his face, knocking him out.
'To my right' A chain of glass was sent that villain's way, wrapping him and throwing him to the ground.
'Another one behind, another on my left' A wave of sand was sent to one of them, and the other was knocked out with a block of glass.
'Lastly…' The frozen villain freed himself from the ice and started running to where he thought the kids were. Two chains of glass stopped him in his tracks, but he still tried to move. 'He's persistent…' Kei made a closed hand made of glass, and threw it at the villain… He was still moving. 'Whatever he wants, I guess' Another punch was sent his way, and another, another, another, another, another… Until he was finally knocked out cold.
The sandstorm fell, revealing either knocked-out or struggling villains. The head of the one that looked like the leader, guessing by his strength, was lying in a pool of his own blood, his nose and mouth were stained with blood, which worried Kei.
"Uhhh… I didn't kill him accidentally… right?" She asked, worried. Todoroki approached the villain and checked his pulse.
"... He is okay, just knocked out…" He said. A relieved sigh came from Kei's mouth.
"Thank god… I didn't want to kill him…"
A loud crack was heard from the center of the facility, then a scream. "Gaaaaah!"
All three of them whipped their heads towards the sound and saw a horrifying sight.
Their teacher, Aizawa, was being held down by a monster, his arm broken like a twig.
""!""
Originally in the landslide zone, it was Todoroki who dealt with everyone, but I decided to change that to give Kei some time to show off. If you want an explanation as to why he didn't act first, I did throw him in the air, and then he was violently grabbed by Kei. I'm sure he felt at least a little bit sick. Kei is already used to that feeling.
Also if you are uncomfortable by the landslide zone villain's comments, I also did not like it. Hence why I wrapped that conversation as fast as I could without making it weird.
I was gonna add a scene with 1-B at the end to show their reactions in real-time, but I didn't think it made sense since Ida just escaped USJ… Next chapter though…
~Decency~ ~ Omake~
Kei had an objective. Something important to investigate that if true, would seriously bring down her rating on U.A. choice of hero outfit manufacturer. She approached Hagakure, who was lazily doodling in her notebook. "Hey, Hagakure… I have something to ask." She said.
"Hm? Ah, Inari! This is the first time we have talked, right?" She asked.
"Yeah. Kei is fine by the way. I just wanted to ask you… Is your hero costume just you naked?" Kei asked.
Hagakure seemed to ponder the question for a bit, then started fidgeting. "Umm… It's a little bit embarrassing to admit… But yes… I have no other option really, since clothes don't become invisible with me…"
'It was true… oh my god… how dare they?!'
"Umm… Ok, I just wanted to confirm it. You might want to approach the principal's office for a costume change." She said with a serious tone.
"Why is it?"
"There's this upperclassman, he has a similar problem to you with his wardrobe being incompatible with his quirk…"
"...Yes?..."
"But that has already been solved… They can make outfits using your hair… You really don't need to be naked."
"... So all of that psyching up I did to prepare for the embarrassment… was for nothing?..." She was invisible, but if she wasn't, Kei was sure she would be furiously blushing. "Huhhh… why?!"
"If you want I can accompany you. It's the least I can do" She said, patting the invisible girl's back.
"Yes… Thank you, Kei…"
They both walked together to the principal's office.
U.A. lost its costume manufacturer partner that day but was soon replaced by a better one.
