Chapter 17. Suit Up!
Leaving my house I felt more complete. Like a weight had been lessened. It was still there, just like the burden was being carried with someone else. I went to school to find that I was almost the last one to arrive. Sitting in my seat I notice Momo Yaoyorozu giving me sidelong glances while holding an open book. I sighed “If I didn’t know any better I would think you were interested in me.” I said with a grin. Momo gasped and almost jumped out of her chair to yell. “Don’t be preposterous, I'm only interested in your quirk!” I chuckle “That's what I meant, what were you thinking?” She makes a few inexplicable noises and squeaks her face getting more red by the second, before sitting back down in her chair.
Just then President Mic. came in to teach us English. By far my easiest class, after coming here I became bi-lingual of sorts. So I could essentially not listen and focus on quirk training. The funny thing is after this morning I felt like my quirk became much easier to use, maybe because I had some heart to heart with Denki, with us fully accepting of each other. 'I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to be partnered with now.' My eyes water thinking about it. ‘I think that was Denki crying of happiness.’ I wasn’t sure; my heart swelled, and I didn’t feel sad, so maybe they were happy tears of not being alone anymore.
‘Oh great that one's on me this time.’ I smiled at a tear rolled down my face that I wiped away. Being in the back nobody noticed it at least that is what I thought at the time. Not noticing a worried, and curious gaze from my right.
Once that class was over it was lunch time. I go over to the table that Midoriya, Uraraka, and Ida are sitting at. The food here is pretty good, I personally prefer my own, but it is good quality. Sitting at the table I listen into the conversation they are having, me being content with just sitting by and listening to them adding in a bit here and there. Finally after that it was time for hero classes.
“I AMMMMM … COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE NORMAL!!” All of the theatrics make me chuckle. I am sad that he is retiring, but just looking at him brings a smile to my face. Everyone gets excited to have a class taught by the myth himself, but I was just counting down the second’s he had left. Getting out of my train of thoughts I listen back into the conversation.
“NO TIME TO DALLY! TODAY IS BATTLE TRAINING!! AND FOR THAT YOU NEED THESE! COSTUMES!!! ALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUIRK REGISTRY AND THE FORMS YOU FILLED OUT BEFORE ADMISSION!!! SO SUIT UP AND MEET ME AT GROUND BETA!!!” ‘Man the dude can really belt it at all times huh?’
I smile as I take my costume to the lockers. Mine was a pretty simple design. Clothes (black shirt, and pants) that can conduct or resist electricity depending on what I need. ‘No hero can save others without touching them. I need to keep my 2nd gear active while being able to hold someone.’ I have an array full of rechargeable batteries on the back of my belt to keep my energy up mid combat, while being able to charge when not in battle. The shirt and pants are made with a special weave to keep me cool when I start to overheat. I have a gun belt with a modified revolver to shoot taser darts with electricity supplied by me as I hold the gun itself. The electricity also helps the gun shoot like a rail cannon to increase the speed the darts fire at, and a police retractable baton.
The costume also consists of black trench coat with the same electric properties as the rest of the clothes. It was inspired by darker than black, it is fireproof, and resistant to punctures. Also comes with the same grapples as Hei did in the anime. Except I added an attachment to climb windows and the tops of buildings. I also have a nose and mouth gas mask to keep from breathing debris or harmful quirks. As well as goggles, these are actually normal. Just keep dust, and water out, better to have and not need, rather than need and not have. Finally a radio just like the original Denki
