Chapter 119. Training Moves
The next day rolled around, and I woke up to do my normal routine. Except I also woke at the same time to jog around campus with Deku. We both smiled and went off to jog together. While we were doing it I felt a sense of nostalgia. “This remind you of how we met?” I said while we were halfway done. He looked at me, thought for a second, then smiled. “Yes, I remember I was carrying some junk on the beach, and you were still working on your first technique.” I laughed thinking back to how bad I could control the electricity then.
“That feels so long ago…” I said while smiling off in the distance. Deku was also thinking back to when he first started training to hold One for All. We both started talking about our first few days of school. Until Deku asked a question. “What are we gonna do about the league of villains now?” I looked at Deku to see him saddened at the loss of All Might. I ruffled his hair as we walked back inside the dorms. “We will take care of it ourselves. You, as the new symbol of peace, and me as your trusty side-kick.” I gave him a smirk as we went off to the showers.
After that we all went to classes. I sat in my seat, but noticed that I couldn’t see the font as well as I normally could. Normally I sat behind Mineta, and his tiny stature, but now I was blocked by blonde messy hair with buns on top. I immediately knew who it was. “Toga, they gave you that seat?” She turned around and smiled at me with her blushing face. “Yea Denki~! They gave me this spot if I promised I would behave if I could sit close to you!” I smiled and nodded.
“Well I hope you do, because Aizawa would have no qualms about moving you to class 1-B if you cause too much ruckus. We both don’t want that.” She got serious and nodded at me slowly. I smiled and petted her hair. “You don’t have to worry about it too much. Just focus in class, and have fun later.” She regained her smile and giggled. Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but smile back at her. This caused her to look surprised then even happier than before, and turn around in her chair.
I was confused at her expressions and looked at Momo. She looked at me with a small smile, and shook her head while sighing. Class started and Toga got up from her spot while Aizawa walked in the room with Twice with his mask still on. “Good Morning class, today we have two new students entering this class. I’m sure you’ve all gotten to know Toga.” Everyone nodded while Aizawa continued on. “This is also another student that will be joining your class. Please introduce yourselves.” Aizawa then went back and sat down in his sleeping bag.
Toga spoke up first. “Hi~! I know I’ve already kinda introduced myself, but I can do it again! I’m Toga! My quirk is disguise, and I can disguise myself as anyone who’s blood I drank! I’m also in love with Denki~!” She finished that last part with her hands on her blushing cheeks while smiling. The class had started to get used to her doing that, so the stares were only slightly embarrassing. I sighed as Toga sat down in front of me smiling and giggling at my embarrassment.
Next up was Twice. He stood at the podium and worked up the nerve to speak. “Hello, I’m… Jin Bubaigawara, but you can call me Jin. I can’t take off this mask, but please treat me well. I hope we can get along.” He bowed when he finished his nerve wracking speech. He looked up and around until his gaze found me. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. He smiled and nodded before going to an empty seat. He sat next to Kirishima and Sero so I knew they would be good friends.
Class continued on normally for a while, until Aizawa motioned for people to come in from the other side of the door. Just then Cementos, ectoplasm, and Midnight all came inside the room. “Which is why today you all will be creating two ultimate moves.” The class erupted in cheers at the lesson plan for today. I felt nervous. Half because I was running out of super move ideas without being too dangerous, and the other half was ‘Midnight’. Toga was cheering just because she felt it was fun to make noise, while Jin just looked around in surprise.
All of the teachers spoke about the ultimate moves. “These will be your signature moves, and finishing techniques.” “Internalize these moves, and make them your own.” “Your moves specialize who you are. Heroes today that have no moves are a dying breed.” ‘Midnight’ finished their speech with a little lackluster, and Aizawa continued on. “Let’s move forward with the lesson. Everyone change into your costumes, and meet in gym Gamma.” We all did as we were told. I walked with the boys to our changing room. Jin actually had a costume made. It was essentially the same as his villain one, but the costume was mostly red with accents of black instead. He almost looked like a power ranger
I looked at him, and nodded in approval. “I like the color.” I patted his shoulder and he nodded with his head down. I chuckled at him as we were walking to the gym. “Don’t be scared. These guys don’t bite.” He chuckled a little and looked back at me with a small smile I could see through his mask. We made it to the gym and were met with all of the teachers waiting for us. Ida spoke up in his loud questioning voice.
“Why must we create ultimate moves to get our hero licenses!? Please explain the intention behind this requirement!” I chuckled at how seriously he took everything. Aizawa sighed and told Ida to calm down a bit. “The exam will test a variety of things to be sure you can help civilians in the field, and not make things worse instead. Your ability to adapt to any circumstances will be observed naturally. Intelligence gathering, decision making, mobility, communication skills, charisma, leadership. The contents may change year to year, but applicants are always tested on these things.”
‘Midnight’ spoke up at this point to help explain. Although she still seemed to lack her normal energy. “Among the criteria is combat prowess. You can be sure that combat prowess will be heavily prioritized for potential heroes. Be prepared and you have nothing to fear. These moves can have a big impact on whether you pass or not.” Cementos spoke up next. “If you can keep a cool head, and act with decisive, stable moves. You have high combat prowess.” Ectoplasm spoke up next while looking at Ida. “Now nothing says the moves must be only attacking. Ida’s reciproburst can be powerful enough for a super move.” He then looked at me and all of the things I could do. “Kaminari would also be a good example of good moves.”
Everyone looked at me and nodded in agreement. Aizawa then spoke up while the other teachers were preparing the testing arena. “Your summer camp was cut short, but the training you did… Was part of the process of creating ultimate moves. In other words, you now have 10 days to create new moves. Right here, right now. Now everyone remember to keep that plus ultra mentality and go beyond your limits… Ready?” Everyone nodded in excitement as they all rushed to meet a clone to fight.
The only ones left were Toga, Jin, and I. I looked over at Toga, and wondered at how she could get stronger. I thought back to my notes. I wrote down things that I remembered that I saw on wiki’s, and comments on videos that spoiled me by accident. I tried to remember Toga, and felt like I had an answer right on the tip of my tongue. I then had a vague memory. “Hey Toga” I got her attention and she looked at me with glee. I smiled back a bit before continuing on. “If you become Uraraka and have her palms, could you also touch things to make them zero gravity too?” Toga thought for a second before shrugging.
“I don’t know. I’ve never tested quirk abilities from when I was transformed. But could I try with yours!?” She then got really close to me, her look filled with anticipation. I thought for a second. “I don’t think that's a good idea. You like being me as a fetish, and I don’t think you could fight as well while having that in your mind. Also, my quirk is very volatile. I don’t want you to try and practice my quirk, that is way too dangerous.” She looked a little dejected. She couldn’t transform into me for class, but also a bit happy. I then looked at Uraraka. “Hey! Uraraka! Can you come down here for a sec!?” Uraraka looked down at me, and floated her way down to see what I needed.
“Do you mind donating some blood to test a theory for me?” She looked at me in shock, until she looked at Toga. She squinted her eyes and looked at me again with a slight frown. “Why do you need it?” I nodded in understanding. ‘I guess she doesn’t trust Toga yet.’ “I wanted to see if Toga could also use your quirk if she transformed as you. How does your quirk work again?” Uraraka stared at me for a bit before nodding and explaining her quirk to us. “I just have to touch something with all of these pads on my hands, then they become weightless. They stay that way until I touch my fingers together and yell release.” Toga and I nodded at her. I then looked at Toga.
“How much blood do you need to last for class?” Toga tapped her cheek while thinking of an answer. “Just a few ounces.” She said, nodding at her own conjecture. Uraraka sighed. “Why can’t she try yours?” I chuckled at the idea this time. “My quirk is too volatile. Plus her transformation seems to cover her body. My power is inside my nerves.” Hearing this Uraraka had to agree with what I said and looked back at Toga. “How are you going to get it? You going to try and bite my neck?” Toga giggled and shook her head.
“No, I only do that to Denki! I have this!” She took out a system almost identical to her villain costume. I wondered how it would look when her costume was finished. She was still in her school uniform here. Uraraka shivered at the needle, and I stepped in between them.
“How about we just get Urarakas blood drawn at the nurses office?” Uraraka nodded violently at my suggestion. Both girls went off to get blood drawn, and I was left alone with Jin. I looked at him and he was just still looking around in shock. I chuckled and tapped him on the shoulder. This grabbed his attention and he looked at me. “Jin, I have an idea for me to train. For that I need your help, I also think I have an idea of how for you to get stronger as well.” He looked at me with anticipation and I nodded and told him my idea. After I was done, he just stared at me in horror as I smiled.
