《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
"So let's start from your Quirk, I can't work with it if I don't know anything about your Quirk" Rumi told me.
"My Quirk let's me control and manipulate metals, you have already seen it in the tournament." I told her. I know she can be trusted but I won't be going to blabber about my true Quirk on the first day I meet her.
She nodded and stroked her chin while thinking something. After sometime she looked at me and scanned me from head to toe, to be honest it felt quite uneasy.
"Ok, change into your hero costume. I will attack you from different directions, this time I will be using my full power so if I end up hitting you, then you die. I don't want my 1st intern dying, so try not to die. I want to check your reaction time" after telling me that she gestures me towards her house where I was going to change. I immediately changed into my hero costume and came out.
Both of us moved from her house towards more deeper part of the forest filled with tall trees.
"Get ready!" She exclaimed and my hero suit started to leak iron sand. Below the iron plates I have stored iron sand, I had 10 grendae like flasks at my back hanging from my belt. They also contained iron sand. This was the change I asked Aizawa to make in my hero costume. The quantity of iron dust wasn't much but it was still more than enough to fight against a single enemy while still having my defensive wall around me.
Rumi was about to attack me but stopped when she saw iron sand coming out of my hero costume. She smirked and nodded towards me approvingly and crounched on the ground like any wild animal ready to pounce on it's prey. She did the same in the next moment, she prounced on me with a huge force which made dust rise up from the place from where she launched herself.
For her I was a prey and she attacked me like that, she kicked in my direction which was stopped by my iron sand wall. She used the wall as a support and jumped away. I have to say, she got away from me much faster than Izuku did. I could catch her if I tried but I have to try hard. She landed on a tree and used that as a support to launch herself again at me. This time the attack got more faster than before but I was still able to stop her. Even if she got faster that didn't bother me in the slightest.

She kept repeating the movement and her attack kept getting faster and faster each time. I have to agree that now her speed is giving me slight problems. So I started to use one of my hand to manipulate the iron sand. The reaction speed of my sand became much fatser which Rumi noticed immediately. She kept attacking me like that for few more minutes before she finally stopped. Her final attack was the fastest I saw but I could react to that easily when using my hand.
"I have seen enough, your reaction time is more than decent. Now, I want to know what your physical capabilities are, I know for someone with a Quirk like yours it is pretty useless but if you neglect it then you could face problems if some villian could negate your Quirk". Rumi told me. I completely agree with her even if that wasn't going to happen with me since no one could negate or steal my Quirk but I wasn't going to tell her that so I just nodded my head.
"I am going to be honest with you, I can't teach you anything about your Quirk but I could make sure that your physical body wouldn't be the weak link anymore. You won't gain special strength like those with strength like Quirk have but you would definitely be able to defeat or surprise someone who would think you are physically weak." Rumi spoke to me seriously. Now, she was in complete trainer and no no nonsense mode, I have to say this makes her look quite cute.
"From today, you will be joining me in my physical exercise routine for the time period of your internship with me" Rumi said and gestured me to follow her. Well, I will say that I am not disappointed, after all I came to her because of this particular reason.
"You can keep those metal plates on your body for the increased weight but I would appreciate if you don't use them to help yourself. I wouldn't know if you use them but it will definitely be your loss since you won't gain anything throughout the week." Rumi said while she took me to what looked like a running track. I won't be using them, or my coming here would be complete waste. I knew that myself.
Throughout the next 4 hour I regretted thinking that. Rumi is a sadist, a slave driver. She made me follow a routine which made my whole body ache. But I know that if I survive through this hellish training camp, I would be much more stronger than before. At least physically.

After, my training was over she kept training on her own and I have to say she is really beautiful. Her chocolate coloured skin and her sleeveless leotard was an instant kill if someone looked at her like I was doing. I don't think many get this opportunity though. I knew that I was her 1st intern and I don't think a villian would ogle her when she is trying to beat him up and break his bones.
Finally, I was able to get up again which made her stop her exercises. "I have to say, you impressed me. I never thought that someone with a Quirk like yours would be able to keep up so long with my training. Did you train on your own or had a trainer?" Rumi asked me curiously.
"Yes, I trained under Carmine Allesandro before I started UA. At home I still follow his routine" I told her honestly. I didn't think that I needed to hide this. She also nodded after my trainer's name.
"I will be assigning you a new training regiment, follow that regiment from now on." She told me while she went inside, I followed her but didn't enter until she gestured me to enter.
"Aren't you a gentleman? I like you, Reo" she told me while laughing.
She took out a paper and scribbled down something on it and handed it to me. I looked at it and almost passed out but somehow I was able to hold myslef back.
After that, she told me that day one of my internship was over. She left me to change back in my regular clothes. Before leaving I thanked her which she waved off. I somehow reached my home, Momo still wasn't back so I texted her before going into shower. I rested and meditated the rest of the day until I went back to train with my new regimen given by Rumi. But before I did that, I wmet to check on Momo, she has replied to my text when I was meditating. I peeked into her room and saw she was soundly sleeping so I left her and went to train. The day was way too tiring to do any naughty stuff but Momo texted me after dinner so that we could sleep together.
We didn't do anything except cuddling and kissing. We then, talked about our internships before we finally fell asleep.
The next morning was normal too, after breakfast I kissed Momo goodbye and went towards Rumi home to train. It was the second day of the internship. If I remember correctly, Izuku would develop full cowl today, he is training with Gran Torino and Stain will meet Shigaraki today.
So, Hosu incident will happen tomorrow and Izuku, Todoroki, and Ilda will fight with him and get hospitalized. Let's see if I could jump in there fight with Stain before the others could fight him or the heroes scare him away. At least I would try to reach him before he starts the fight with my classmates, I don't want any of them getting injured or even worse except for Bakugo. He can go take Stain's sword up his ass and die for all I care.
I finally reached Rumi house and followed the same routine which we did yesterday.
"I think you have a second Quirk" Rumi suddenly spoke during my training. This was completely out of my imagination, I thought that she might find out something related to my Quirk but honestly this wasn't it.
"What do mean by second Quirk?" I asked her nervously. I am pretty sure that I don't have a 2nd Quirk, God didn't tell me anything about that.
"Now that I have seen your improvement since yesterday, I am damn sure you have a 2nd Quirk. This Quirk is boosting your physical body and stanina. There is no other way you could have gotten used the training regimem I assigned you yesterday" she told me while looking at me.
"Did you ever feel that your previous training was useless and didn't improve your body or stamina?" Rumi asked me while she sat down right in front of me cross-legged.
"Yes, I did, I felt it strange that after training for just sometime my strength or my Quirk would increase exponentially." I told her. Could it be that I really have a second Quirk that is making me get used to my training and boosting up my body. I don't know for sure but this needs to be experimented with, this also explains why my stamina kept increasing... is this some kind of pirated version of Zenkai Boost?...

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
