Hello! Thank you all so much for the follows and likes!
Chapter 21 -
Todoroki walked on stage, a pissed off expression on his face. 'Good luck.'
'Fuck you.'
She took control and ordered him around. 'Cast the buffs and keep me going. Play Mixtape #4.'
He popped the CD in and immediately regretted it.
'Somehow I want to have more freedom today. Throw your body into this music and feel it.'
He dragged his hands down his face. 'Kill me.'
—
The weird version of Izuku came out again, his normally carefree expression was replaced with an enormous amount of red and a furious expression. She looked at his opponent and he almost matched it, she did sense a bit of yellow before it was squashed though.
'This could be bad. He's normally pretty calm and formal. I wonder what happened.' She glanced at Pixie and sensed her own red from her.
'Why are you mad?'
"Someone fucked with him, my student!" She tried to stand but was held down by RagDoll and her.
'Calm down you idiot. What can you even do? You don't even know who did it in the first place!'
"I'll find out!"
"Time to go night night." A purple haze misted around Pixie before she slumped over.
'Thanks Kayama.' Said lady picked up Kota and sat down between her and All Might.
She set him down on her lap and smiled at Mandalay. "No problem. While I'd love to see her hurt someone, I don't want her to get injured."
She freed her nephew, who was struggling to get away, and set him on her own lap. 'What do you mean?'
The teacher leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Endeavor."
The name slightly shocked her. 'His dad?'
She nodded and put a finger to her lips. Mandalay turned back to the fight, which weirdly hadn't started yet.
Ecto was talking to Izuku, probably because of the sinister looking weapon in his hands. A large bone blade, covered in ice, fire, lightning, and a swirling vortex of dust around the whole thing. Ecto nodded at something he said and jumped back. "Start!"
The first to attack was Todoroki with his signature starting move of a massive glacier. Once again several of the heroes had to drag people out of the way of the attack. She blinked and Izuku was behind the dual quirk user. 'Ethereal Haunt?'
Todoroki must have sensed the oncoming attack, because he instantly created an ice shell. Izuku's sword slammed into the side and sent it flying into the glacier. "Come on popsicle! Show me your fire!"
The ball of ice erupted into another glacier attack, which Izuku dodged by jumping up and forward. While in the air, he spun and charged One for All into his hand. Throwing the blade directly at the shell with a resounding boom, he landed into a roll. Luckily, Todoroki was able to sense the attack and in the small instance Izuku spun, had created multiple layers of ice. Each was easily 2 meters thick and reminded her of Pixie's Shield of Gaia.
The sword broke through 4 of the 5 layers before being stopped. It then exploded destroying the last layer, which Lion took advantage of and sent a massive fireball into. It exploded on contact, destroying the surrounding ice, and sending the now reinforced ice ball flying into the air.
Todoroki either must not have been fazed or he was able to think while in a panic because his next move was brilliant. Hundreds of small poles came out of the ice, both raising him further in the air and attacking Izuku.
"I told you to use fire, popsicle!" He opened his mouth and a cone of fire erupted, melting the ice in an area around him. The poles that came close melted rapidly and couldn't get any closer.
Todoroki responded with a move she saw Pixie use before. Pixie's version was called Sky Meets Earth and was probably the most destructive move she had in her arsenal. This one was smaller and probably would probably kill any normal unprepared opponent. A giant slab of ice grew from the top of the ball, easily covering the whole arena.
Unluckily for him though, Izuku had fought against Pixie quite a bit and knew the best way to get past it. Fire licked at his feet and he jumped right for the wall. It was like watching a small firework being shot at a wall. Except her firework actually packed a punch. The instant the wall was close to him, he ignited and blew the thing to smitterns. The brief full temp aura had melted quite a bit of the ice and shattered the rest of it into snow.
The ball his opponent had been using wasn't unscathed and fell down hard. He managed to soften the landing somewhat, but the crash still shook the ground a bit. Izuku, who was still letting off red, began to fall and prepared for his landing on top of the shell. As he began to spin, fire igniting all around him as he got into a knee drop. Todoroki wasn't going to take it standing still though and began to send glacier after glacier at his opponent. Each shattered and melted as they came in contact with Izuku,
He was less than 15 meters from landing when Aizawa came onto the scene. He stopped Izuku's Gamer quirk and pulled him out of the way of the ice attacks.
"And the fight is over! The opponent passes his trial and will be allowed to compete!"
Izuku was let go almost instantly and bowed to his teacher. Aizawa looked annoyed, but walked off without another word.
There was cheering, it was slow at first, but eventually everyone was cheering. She really needed to talk to Izuku.
—
'You tried to hurt him!'
'He tried to kill us!'
'He was not!'
Misaki began cursing at him and then stopped talking altogether. During the shift, her anger had boiled over and began to leak into him. He lost control of himself and was just going along with her. He managed to lie to Aizawa about not actually wanting to harm, but it was just barely.
He watched as Todoroki freed himself and walked off stage. Aki ran up to him, but he ignored her and went into the locker room. She came out onto the field and started healing him instead. "What happened to him?"
He shrugged, "He was pissed when he came on the field. Misaki tried to hurt him toward the end."
Aki cast her last healing spell and shrugged, "You didn't so it's fine, but you'll need to figure out a way to control her. Sorry Misaki."
All the AI did was grumble. "I know, I know. Get off the field. We'll go for food with everyone if you're okay with it?"
She nodded with a smile and ran off the field toward Recovery Girl, who was mean mugging him. He offered her an apologetic smile, but she turned her back to him and walked toward the locker room. He let out a sigh.
"And for the last fight we have the newest student of Class 1-A, Tobu Mikazuki! Younger listeners beware."
'Cast Shield if you see fit, but I don't think we'll be in danger.' She didn't answer him. 'Look, We'll figure something out, but for right now let's just get this over with. Deal?'
'Fine.'
—-
'Kota, sweetie, please cover your eyes.'
He raised an eyebrow at her, and seemed to read the air. He tucked his hat over his eyes and covered his ears.
"Okay, wake up Pixie." RagDoll slapped Pixie, who jumped a foot in the air, ready for a fight.
She looked around, and began whining instantly. "I missed his fight?"
Midnight rested her chin on her hand and smiled at her. "Sorry girlie, couldn't have you causing problems. He fought really well though."
'Except for the fact, both of them tried to kill each other.' She kept her thoughts to herself. 'Pixie, why did you teach him your moves?' That she did send out.
Her teammate looked at her, with a confused stare. "What do you mean?"
Tiger answered for her, "He was using moves that you've used before. Like Shield of Gaia and Sky Meets Earth."
She tilted her head, "I didn't teach him any of those moves. The only thing I taught him was his own version of Forest of Stone."
Mandalay hummed, 'Maybe he watched a few videos on you? Is anyone recording these fights?'
All Might answered her, "I believe Present Mic has video recorders in the stands somewhere. Something about making a video for the class."
'We'll have to let Pixie watch the fight.'
"And with that brief stop, the fight will commence!"
Everyone turned to watch the last fight.
—
"Midoriya?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Yeah?"
"Are you okay if I go all out? Ms. Soma told me if I didn't, I'd have extra training next week."
He laughed, "Go for it. I think I'll be fine."
She nodded and pulled out a cleaver from her hip. It was made of a black metal and probably the same stuff her teacher used with her dolls. He summoned a Bone Blade and stood at the ready.
"Fight!"
As soon as the teacher was clear, Tobu jumped forward with speed he wasn't used to from her. He blocked the first attack and when he went for his own, he was forced to block as she attacked again. He blocked another attack and summoned an ice spear in his offhand.
He struck out with the spear in a circle and hit, sending her on her back a few meters away. As he summoned another spear, the girl rose like a ghost onto her feet. With blinding speed, she was in his face and attacked with a viciousness he's only seen from her fight with Ms. Soma. Each attack from her was easy to block with his Quality, but he could tell each attack after the first came faster and faster.
'She's going to out pace you at this rate. Jump back and start casting.'
"[Magma Bomb]." The little ball of hell summoned itself in between them and started to grow in size.
Tobu didn't seem to mind as she pushed even harder. As she pushed herself into the ball, she poofed. 'Wait.'
'Six!'
He spun and jumped backward over the growing ball of magma. Just in time too, three different versions of Tobu had attacked at once and began to follow him with ridiculous speed. "[Stinging Rain]!"
The air around him turned into small icicles and flew forward, cutting into the wind. Two of the versions poofed while the right, dropped to a knee, blood pouring from her chest. He took a step forward, about to heal her, when Misaki yelled. '[Mana Shield]!'
The blue aura sprung to life and was cracked as three others came into existence. 'Start casting again. Don't fall for her tricks!'
"[Odin's Rage]!" The air in front of him rippled and in the small second before it could go off, they all disappeared. The spell went off and hit nothing but air and cement.
"Sleep Walk." He jumped into the air and dodging a hand of shadow that attacked him from the side.
'Alright, this is annoying, can we just end it?'
"Let's push her even harder. [Odin's Blessing]."
His Agi and Str went up by 20% and he went on the offensive. Using an [Air Step], he flew forward and let off [Cold Snap]. The temperature dropped and after a second, cracked. The spell managed to poof whatever she had created, letting him jump into the smoky bubble. "Come on out Tobu. [Mana Storm]!"
He unleashed the electricity torward the center of the bubble and followed up with [Tempest] at half power. He heard a cry of pain and jumped toward it, his sword arm pulled back. As he cleared a bit of smoke, he lessened his hold as he saw her on the ground. Body clenched and twitching for the spell, he approached cautiously. "Six!"
He spun with the sword and stabbed it forward. His eyes went wide as Tobu's face was shocked, a sword in her stomach. A bit of blood worked it's way out of her mouth and she coughed it over him. 'Shit.' He let the sword disappear and caught her as she fell. "[Emergency Aid]!" The spell went off, but failed on her. His eyes went wide, but the mistake cost him.
He was slammed into the ground, face first, and started to get buried into the ground.
[Resistance Check Fail]
A doll came into view, he turned his head to look at it and watched as it pulled out a sharp piece of glass. It started to laugh and others came out of the smoke, each carrying some type of sharp object. 'Alright, just end it.' He released the electricity stored inside of him and zapped the closest dolls.
'Yeah….' He trailed off and started to build up a bit of sun. The dolls started singing and walked closer, stabbing the air in front of them.
'Three seconds.' The first doll reached him and stuck the glass into his eye. He wanted to yell, but he felt no pain.
[Gamer's Mind has blocked the debuff, Nightmare of Minds]
He started to laugh, so that's the secret of her quirk. That begs the question though, how did she physically attack with her dreams? The copies of her from before, were definitely real. The dolls started stabbing him over and over, blood started pooling all around him. Then he was finally charged. "[Bottled Sun]."
He sent the first right at himself, and told the others to go in all directions around him. She would get a bit crispy, but should be fine after a bit of healing.
The instant they landed, he heard pained screaming and all the smoke and dolls vanished.
"And that's the fight! Ms. Tobu passes!"
'Alright, she confuses me even more now.'
'Agreed.' He'd have to ask her about her quirk, it apparently didn't work like he thought.
—-
"He didn't lose did he?"
'No, he won.'
"Good. Can we go now?"
'We're all going to go out to eat though.' Koda let out an annoyed sigh and just sat on her lap. 'Cheer up. I heard Izuku chose a place you will like.'
"How does the idiot know what I like?"
She smiled and squeezed him in a hug. 'He did take care of you for little over a month, I'd be surprised if he didn't.' He didn't answer her and tried to fight against the hug.
"I'm going to find my students." Pixie stood and walked off.
"I think I'll do the same." Tiger got up and walked off with RagDoll, who had a smile plastered on her face.
She looked down at her nephew, 'Want to go with me?' He shrugged. 'Let's go.' She let him down and followed her teammates.
—
She hugged both Ashido and Uraraka in a bear hug, slightly picking them both off the ground. "You two did so good!"
"Th-thanks Mandalay."
"Yeah! We couldn't let you down!"
She hid her smirk as her fellow brunette took a step away and went pinker in the cheeks. "So are you two ready for Aizawa's version of training?"
Ashido shivered slightly but gave a thumbs up. "I'll try." Uraraka just nodded.
'Uraraka?' The girl didn't answer. She looked at Ashido, "Go have fun, I heard there's going to be a small party courtesy of Midoriya." The girl cheered and ran off toward Midoriya's group. 'Do you want to talk?'
She shook her head and took another step back. 'Look, I'm sorry for teasing you. Forgive me?'
Uraraka shook her head slightly and walked away. She was releasing pink, brown, red, orange and yellow all at once. Mandalay had no idea what that meant, all she knew was she fucked up. She let out a sigh and walked over to Pixie.
'I fucked up.' She threw her head on to her shoulder and stayed there.
"I'll teach you a new move the next time I see you okay?" Bakugo grunted at her and walked off to the shower room. "Okay girl. What did you do?"
'I teasingly flirted with Uraraka and now she's mad at me.'
Pixie picked up her head and slapped her. Hard. As the pain radiated from her cheek, she stared at her teammate in shock. Pixie was mad and excited, on account of the red and yellow. She spoke to her in a harsh whisper, "Look girl, you know I love you like a sister, but I'm sick and tired of your love life. I haven't had a boyfriend since high school. The only one of us with a boyfriend in the last ten years is RagDoll. Get yourself together, if you want something just say something."
She felt her rage build, 'I don't know what I want. You think I want to deal with this? The person I have a crush on is a student! Pixie.' She felt tears at the edge of her eyes. She was pulled into her friend's shoulder again and began to cry.
"Sorry for slapping you, but you're pretty fucking stupid some times."
'You're one to talk.'
Pixie pulled her back, and wiped her tears. "Look, I really want you to be happy and I honestly could give less shit who you are happy with." She pulled her in close and whispered into her ear. "Also, Uraraka doesn't seem too bad, she apparently likes Lion, so you got that going for you. Maybe invite her to go with you places when you go with Lion?"
She took a breath in and held it for a second. 'Not bad.' She let it out and smiled at Pixie. 'Can you imagine the media if this became public? I'd be in so much shit.'
Pixie smiled back. "Gotta be secret. At least more secret than your nighttime singing."
'Wait. You know.'
She was given a deadpan look. "We live in the same house, and on the same mountain. Do you honestly think none of us knew?"
She thought to herself, 'I need to stop submerging my quirk.'
—
"I'm actually really proud of you three." He gave them a wide smile. "I knew you guys would pass but it was nice being able to see you fight by yourself for once."
"Can you blame us? I got a question though." He looked at Kirishima. "When we switch over to Aizawa's training, are you still going to teach us?"
Izuku shook his head, "You three are actually going to be trained by other people. I have to take over the combat training of a few from 1-B. The reason they were actually here for today was to show I can actually teach them."
"Can we still spar?", asked Ojiro.
He shrugged, "If you end up having time, I don't mind, but from what Aizawa said, it won't be an easy time for anyone. Class 1-A will have the edge due to a month of training prior, but B will get special treatment to catch up for a few weeks."
Ashido bounced on top of Kirishima's back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I heard there's going to be a party."
'SNITCH!'
He laughed a bit and smirked, "And where did you hear that?"
"Mandalay."
'That-'
"That was supposed to be a secret actually."
She let go of Kirishima and shrugged, "So where are we going?"
"In about a half hour, we'll be going to a restaurant in Shibuya where I rented half of it out. It might be a bit crowded but it should be fine."
All of their eyes widened, but it was Kendo who asked first. "Where the hell did you get so much money from?"
—
"Aki question."
She didn't look up from her homework. "Answer."
He rolled his eyes. "Where does your money come from? Your dad doesn't work and wasn't your mom just a vigilante?"
Aki nodded while still looking at her homework. "There's a dungeon mom grinded that has a massive amount of gold and silver in the shadowscape. You need Mining to get it obviously, but it's rather easy to clear. Well it was when we went, it might be different now." She finished writing something and tossed her pencil down. "Why do you ask?"
"I need spending money."
She smiled, "Well, grab a pickaxe, and I'll teleport you to the entrance."
—
'Hehe. This is fun.'
'For you, you damned junkie.'
He was currently riding a massive death trap of a water slide down to the last level. The dungeon Aki had described wasn't matching up. She had told him the dungeon was a massive cave complex with three to four pockets of ore veins. He managed to find the veins, but only just.
The dungeon had morphed on him, he had just finished clearing the first 6 levels, which were all underwater. The bosses of each level were some type of fish or underwater reptile. He couldn't wait to see what the main boss would be. Not.
The veins of ore were still found on the 7th level, but hidden behind a ridiculously annoying crystal puzzle. After mining all that he could, he dumped it into a portal and made his way down.
'Oh fuck. [Sylph's Blessing].' As he felt the spell finalize, he jumped as hard as he could. The waterslide ended in a waterfall emptying out into a massive chasm. His initial jump cleared more than half of it and after he started descending, he used [Air Step] to clear the rest.
Landing on his feet, he looked out over the chasm. Nothing but darkness and the void. He charged a small but powerfully bright fireball and tossed it down one side. It illuminated a black rock wall, with several tunnel entrances or exits.
'Throw one down.' He threw a matching fireball after the first lost its power and ended. This one just illuminated the rock wall, but didn't hit any bottom he could see. 'Damn. Think something lives down there?'
"I'd rather not find out." He could feel her nod. Turning around, he faced a massive stone door with a skull made of red rubies. He began to cast his buffs and asked her, 'You ready?'
'One second.' There was a brief pause. '8 or 10?'
'Which one isn't boy groups?'
'11 it is.' She put on the CD and a soft humming played in his head.
'Huh. Instrumental?'
'I can appreciate other types of music.'
He shrugged. Touching the door a prompt appeared.
[Do you wish to enter the Boss Chamber?
Doing so will prevent you from leaving until the boss is dead. There is no escape from this dungeon until it is done.
Do you wish to proceed?]
He selected yes and was teleported into a large circular room. Light shone in from the ceiling, illuminating a ruined temple surrounded by hundreds of small water puddles. He didn't see any enemies, but that meant nothing.
He began a cautious walk forward toward the temple. 'Lower the volume.' The music went to a barely audible level. With a faint whisper, he summoned an ice spear into each of his hands. Hearing a faint water drop, he spun and stabbed into a puddle.
"You dare strike at me commoner?" He looked around for the source of the voice.
"You bet your ass fishtail." It was a water dungeon and all the previous mini bosses were water based. So it was an educated guess of an insult.
"You wretched swine!" He spun to the right and bent backward to dodge the streamline charge. Izuku spun to make his own attack, but found no one behind him. "You think you can enter my home, my land, and treat me with disrespect?"
He rolled to the side, dodging another attack. Looking around, the attacker vanished again. "Bow to me swine and I may just yet let you live, for a while."
He hummed as he stood, "Gonna have to pass on that fishy. I doubt I'd be any good at following orders."
There was a low grumble and Izuku watched a slender 2.5 meter tall fish man rise from a puddle. His size wasn't what worried him, what did was the trident he held in his right hand. The bright blue weapon, which stood out against his white skin, radiated an ozone smell.
"[Observe]."
[King Landerel, Storm Master
You have enc-]
He closed the window, annoyed. 'Alright, this guy is fast. Want to take over and give me some thinking time?'
She shrugged, 'Sure.' She took control and after a second of concentration, he found himself in her apartment. It was nice and tidy, there wasn't a bed, as she didn't need to sleep, and the walls were covered in CDs and pictures. Each picture was either of a band or some of her favorite memories. One of which was the very first Solar Flare they ever performed. All the others, he either didn't remember or didn't make sense why she liked them. He didn't ask though, her own favorites were hers.
Sitting down on the sofa, which was set against the wall with the most pictures, he started thinking. Speed and dodging, So he needed an Agi buff. He closed his eyes and concentrated. The fastest hero he knew was All Might, but he was unable to replicate that for long. So that left everyone else, number two had to be O'Clock, but he didn't know anything about him. There was Denki though, his classmate had been able to shock his muscles in certain ways to gain a ridiculous burst of speed. He could probably replicate that.
He felt a burst of pain on his right arm, which started bleeding. He ignored it. Mana Storm wouldn't be a bad idea, but it's effect was instant. Even its subspell, Tempest, went off the instant he finalized the spell. He was able to create [Thundered Weapon] during a fight with Sei, so maybe he could make the weapon buff effect his own body?
'Okay. Let's do this.' Focusing on his real body, he fought for control against the raging AI. 'Misaki, give up!'
That seemed to cost both of them, as the enemy took advantage of their mental fight and smashed his trident into his head. Control came back the instant lightning arced off the trident and zapped him. He rolled to right, dodging a downward stab and cast [Tempest] in an AoE around him. 'You okay?'
'Never do that again.' He swore he heard her vomit, maybe it was his imagination.
He started casting [Odin's Rage] and instead of finalizing it, sent all the electricity in him. The idea was the same as it was when he made the first subspell. After a second, when the electricity tried to dissipate, he half cast the spell again and did it over and over. Less than twenty seconds later, he smiled.
[Odin's Blessing Lvl: Max
Target gains +20% to Str, and Agi. At the end of the duration, a massive electrical discharge will occur in target direction. If electricity is not released, the target creature will detonate.
Duration: 1 minute
Damage: 50% of damage dealt during buff duration
Cost: 500 Mana and 25% of HP]
As Tempest ended, he cast the buff and used [Ethereal Haunt] to slow the enemy even further. "[Sylph's Blessing, Hermes' Blessing]." The ridiculous increases to his Agi stat allowed him to clear the distance between them almost instantly. The back of the boss was just outside his radius so Ethereal Haunt ended.
"Good bye." He pulled his arm back and charged One for All. 'Power Strike - 25%, Detroit Smash!' The punch just barely connected as the creature started to move. He watched his prey go straight for the ceiling and hit it. When he began to fall back down, Izuku charged the same attack again.
Luckily for him, the enemy seemed to be stunned by his first attack and wasn't able to dodge the second. "Power Strike - 25%, Utah Smash!" The punch sent the fish flying straight into the temple and hitting with a boom. He ended up breaking both arms and immediately started casting [Emergency Aid] on both.
'Not bad.'
'I really hope it levels up soon.' Whatever Full Cowl was, it had better be worth it. Leveling One for All had been a straight pain in the ass, as he couldn't use the ability safely regularly. Right now was an exception thanks to his new buff/attack.
The now even more ruined temple, shifted and burst apart as the fish man stood, obviously enraged. "You die now, pest." Izuku saw the slight movement forward and dashed in an attempt to keep up.
Watching the boss was like watching a pro athlete in slow motion. Each step, every arm swing was precise, graceful, and filled with power. Every step he took, catapulted him forward even faster. Every swipe he took at Izuku was filled with enough power and energy to cause an ear piercing hum.
'Stop romanticizing the fight. It's trying to kill us.'
Instead of answering, he kept dodging until the enemy made a slight mistake, which was just in time. Going in for a swing, which was an obvious feign, the boss attempted to strike him with the butt of the staff. "Release!" The electricity freed itself, folding his body in on itself. His enemy tried to block but was hit square in the chest.
Standing up, his muscles unclenched and relaxed. 'That feels so weird.' He felt her shiver.
'We'll try to keep that in reserve. The cost is a little insane.'
"You wretched creature! Defiler! Usurper!" Landarel stood, his chest blackened with soot and two massive dents in his body.
He needed to keep him talking until his arms healed. "Look dude."
"I am a king, you filthy rodent!"
"Alright King. What are you the king of? All I see is a ruined temple and a big cave."
"My kingdom needs not to be seen by the eyes of an outsider. Now die!"
'Shit. They were almost done.'
'Go up.' He looked up and saw that he did have clearance to jump around. He waited until the boss was in his face, and jumped as hard as he could, nearly hitting the ceiling. Using [Air Step], he bounced off and flew horizontally across the cavern.
Good news was, bouncing like this had given enough time to recover, but he was far from safe. The damned thing had just as easily walked on air as it did earth and water. 'How low do you think he is?' He asked in thought.
'Maybe 30%? Also I approve.'
He smirked. Letting himself fall to the ground, he dropped into a patch of light hoping he could collect it. His unspoken prayer was answered as he felt the energy pour into him. "[Line in the Sand, Hunker Down, Dodge]."
He held his hands out, waiting for the boss to attack. The boss seeing him not moving anymore, doubled his speed and charged in a straight line. As he picked up speed and distance, lightning and water began to arc and spiral off the trident.
'You ready?'
'Yeah.'
When the enemy was within 10 meters, they switched out. Berserker's Mind took over but didn't block her conscious thought just yet. The brief few seconds allowed her to carry through with the plan before she lost her chance. When the enemy's weapon was within grabbing distance, Misaki took the attack in their left hand. The pain was excruciating, but needed. Redirecting the trajectory, she brought the owner to face level. The rage finally reached its peak. "Sunny Day Smash!"
Their punch, fueled by the light and inner sun, ignited and flared at first contact. The force of the punch sent the boss flying across the cavern, smacking in the wall. The trident embedded in their hand was torn free, ripping the hand to shreds. Not that it was in any better condition beforehand.
He began casting all the buffs again, and healing the hand. When the healing process started, he gave her a single command. 'Misaki. Kill.'
She let out a roar and flew forward, smashing into the boss who just started getting up. Without a second of delay she began to point blank using solar pyrokinesis at his face. Using her right hand, she started smashing it into his face. This continued on until the left healed allowing her to double her efforts.
The notification from defeating the boss came two minutes later. Not wanting to fight for control, he just let her rampage.
—
He had received roughly 40,000 XP from defeating that boss and hit level 22. Going to Power Loader's forge after his training class, he refined all the ore and ended up with enough to make well over 1$ million USD. He had decided to sell it in the US due to the higher demand and was pleasantly surprised by the amount.
"Uhh. Stocks?" His classmates gave him confused looks, but didn't doubt his claim, which provided him with some relief. "Alright. Go take a shower if you haven't already, we'll leave once everyone is ready."
Smack!
Everyone turned to the sound and saw a very angry Pixie holding a stunned Mandalay.
"Uhhh. I'll deal with that I guess. Go take a shower." They nodded and walked off, giving a brief glance at the two women who seemed to make up instantly.
Walking over he talked before he was too close so he didn't interrupt them. "Alright, I'll be honest, I wouldn't have expected that. What happened?" Mandalay jumped and Pixie just smiled.
"Nothing!"
Pixie shook their fearless leader a bit and tossed her to the side, "She's lying, she did something stupid and is acting stupid."
He raised an eyebrow at his team's leader. "Like?"
"Nothing!" She put her hands up and turned slightly pink in her cheeks. He looked at Pixie, who was just grinning like a madwoman about how the other was acting.
He sighed, "Alright then." He looked at Mandalay. "You wanted to talk and we have a bit of time."
She jumped at the opportunity to change the subject. "Yes. Follow."
She pulled him into a small conference room, leaving Pixie to smile mischievously behind them. Sitting down, he was slightly embarrassed when she pulled a seat closer to him and sat down less than half a meter away.
'Well?' She held out her hand. With her being so close, he could easily smell her pomegranate scented perfume. Taking her hand, he used Transference.
'You're good.'
He was assaulted by pink and orange. 'Alright what questions do you have?'
'What was with your fight against Bakugo and Todoroki?'
'That would probably be easier if I introduced you to someone. Sosaki, meet Misaki.'
—
'Hello!', said an excited female voice. She was instantly assaulted by yellow, pink, and orange.
She tilted her head, 'Who is Misaki?'
'I am! I'm an AI created by Izuku. I live inside his head.'
Izuku's voice came back with his normal blue and green. 'I was actually only able to create her after I met you.' He smiled at her. It may or may not have slightly melted her heart.
'Hi mom!' The AI was letting off a huge amount of yellow. She raised an eyebrow at Izuku.
'I honestly didn't plan that or think it. We were in the middle of a police questioning, when she decided that you and I were her parents. She also made her name that day too.'
'Uh Huh. What does she have to do with your fights? Why is it a she? Also she's radiating enough pink to drown me, why?'
'We can trade places! He's the little mage who can jump around and dodge, while I'm the front line tank.'
'What she means is that we can trade who's in control of my body. When she takes control, her personality changes dramatically. She's a she because I had to choose a voice for her. As for the pink, I have no idea. Unlike her, I can't read her mind.'
She was about to ask a question when Misaki cut her off, 'And what juicy memories they are.'
'Misaki.'
'I can tell you anything you want to know.'
'Misaki!'
'Wanna know what he thinks about when he's in the shower? I think you'll like it.'
'Misaki I swear to Aki you will go into a squirrel, shut the hell up!'
She couldn't help two things at that moment. The amount of heat creeping up her neck and her laughter at hearing their conversation. 'Is it always like this with you two?'
'Ehhh.', said Misaki.
'Yes, but it's normally over music. She has a very peculiar taste.'
'He means awesome taste he just can't understand.'
She smiled, 'Favorite Song?'
'Oh! Dynamite!'
She nodded approvingly, 'Old but good.'
'You?' The yellow started to increase, she was getting excited.
She hummed in thought, 'I'd have to say Kokoronashi. Her voice is really nice and fun to sing along with.'
'Never heard of it, I'll have to force him to look it up.' She could feel orange coming off of Izuku, dread.
She couldn't help but smile, 'Let me know what you think. It was nice talking to you, daughter.' She heard the AI start laughing as Izuku hid a small smile.
'So any other questions?'
She had plenty, were they appropriate? Nope, but did she want to ask? Yep. 'Nothing really comes to mind.'
'We can just talk for a little while.'
'Boring!' The AI brought herself into the conversation. 'Hey mom, I got a present for you.'
She raised an eyebrow, 'Yeah?'
'Now. It took a bit of scrounging around, but here.'
An image started to fill her mind, being on this end of it was rather weird. She didn't even know Izuku could use this part of it yet. As the image came into focus she felt her face heat up and her breath hitch. Her eyes were wide as the image finished. 'Misaki. I'm naming my first daughter after you.'
'Hehe.'
'What did she do? Misaki? Mandalay!'
'Don't worry Lion.' She could tell her voice was coming out slightly strained. She stored that rather steamy shower scene for later and focused on Izuku. 'She does answer most of my questions though. Why haven't you told me sooner?'
Izuku shrugged and spoke out loud, "Never really thought it wasn't important until we started using this ability in this world."
'Yeah. When we're in the ShadowScape, I can destroy anything I want, but here.'
"There could be a lot of problems."
She could obviously see the problems. 'Is there a way to end it sooner?'
Izuku nodded and both explained everything they could about switching. A short while later, there was a knock at the door.
"You two decent?" Pixie threw open the door without giving either a chance to respond. When it fully opened, she gave an annoyed look. "Damn."
