《Strongest Ninja In A Hero Society》Chapter 16/17: Introductions

Advertisement

With things developing the way they had, Aizawa had to act in spite of his personality. Gathering the attention of the class he said, "Now for the results..." As he finalized the spreadsheet he had been creating which held the scores of the students, he led the class right before the entrance to the changing rooms. By the time he reached the spot, everything was ready and after a couple seconds of fidgeting with a monitor, the results were displayed for all to see.

In last place, there was Izuku as he had performed worse than most of the class in the three exams where he didn't use his Quirk. Then in the Grip Strength Test, he had received zero marks for destroying his hand and being incapacitated while on the Pitching Test he had received half his marks for wounding himself even if it didn't result in his hand being unusable. While on the other side of the spectrum, Momo had received first place as she had overperformed in every single test.

Everyone, even Izuku who was currently crushed at the thought that he would be expelled for placing last, looked at Aizawa in confusion. All of them wondered why Takezushi wasn't ranked first while those that were more observant wanted to know why wasn't ranked at all. Takezushi himself didn't seem to care about his lack of recognition as he stood in the background quietly; the same way he had done throughout the Quirk Apprehension Test.

"All of you need to understand something about this young man right here," Aizawa said as he gestured towards Takezushi. "You lot seem to have not realized something. After concentrating so much on him, you've lost sight of what's important. Look at him, it's indisputable that all his actions during the Test were amazing and praiseworthy, yet he's quietly and humbly accepting everything; even the unfairness of being unranked. He doesn't care about the fact that he's performed better than you, he's not demanding justice, nor is he sulking uselessly."

"Unlike you lot, who seem lost and defeated, he's only worried about challenging himself, bettering himself. And I'd suggest you all learn from him and strive to become the best versions of yourselves..." Aizawa concluded. His little speech managed to wake the students up from their bout of depression, even bringing them to think better of Takezushi than they already did.

As the atmosphere lightened, before Izuku could return to dwelling on his failure, Aizawa said, "Oh, and about the thing of expelling whoever came last. Yeah, that was a lie." Seeing the looks of shock and betrayal from the students, Aizawa smirked before saying, "It was a simple logical ruse to make you all perform to the best of your abilities!" He turned his back to the class, now walking to return to the classroom, but before leaving earshot, he said, "Now get changed and come back to class to pick up your curriculum sheets and finish formal introductions."

After the students of Class 1-A finished changing and returned to their homeroom, Aizawa could be seen hiding within his sleeping bag by the front of the class. Groaning in his ever-grumpy state, he said, "Now, before we wrap up the first day, I want each of you to come up and formally introduce yourselves. Things will only get more intense from here on out, so it's best you start showing your worth..." Without warning, he walked over to his chair kicked out of the way and then lied down on the floor.

"Aizawa-sensei! In what order should we present ourselves to the class?!" Iida, the boy who was a stickler for the rules and order, loudly asked.

"I don't care, just get it over with..." Aizawa's muffled voice replied. He had finished zipping up the sleeping bag by the time his words concluded.

"Alright then, why don't we go up by seating order?" Iida proposed to the class. He was quickly met with complete agreement by all those that spoke up aside from Bakugo, who scoffed and turned away from him.

With the order being set, the sparkly french-speaking boy of the class rose from his seat and made his way over to the front of the class before saying, "Bonjour~ My name is Yuga Aoyama and I call my Quirk, Navel Laser. With it, I can shoot 'twinkling' beams from my stomach. Though, I do get a stomach ache if I use it for too long..."

As he moved to sit back down, Takezushi's pink-skinned "horn-buddy," rose up to say, "Hi everyone! My name's Mina Ashido, but you can all just call me Mina. My Quirk, Acid, allows me to create acid from anywhere on my body. I can control the acid's strength and viscosity, but after using it for a while, it starts to corrode my skin."

The next person up was Tsuyu, who taciturnly said, "Hello, my name is Tsuyu Asui and my Quirk lets me do anything a frog can." Following her was Iida who loudly announced, "My name is Tenya Iida and through my Quirk, Engine, I can boost my leg's speed to superhuman levels. My engines do stall out if I overheat them, but they generally recover within a minute. PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE." He loudly concluded, before walking back to his chair.

After Iida was Uraraka, who presented herself as a carefree girl as she introduced herself. "Hi, My name's Ochaco Uraraka and with my quirk Zero Gravity, I can take away the gravity of anything five of my fingers touch. But if I try to erase the gravity of something heavy than three tons, I will get extremely nauseous."

Following Uraraka was a blond-haired boy who possessed a long and girthy tail. "Hi guys, I'm Mashirao Ojiro. As you can see, my Quirk is my tail..." He didn't have much else to add, so it was off to the next student, another blond who introduced himself as, "Yo! I'm Denki Kaminari and my Quirk is Electrification. You can call on me to zap any supervillains. Just don't ask me to output over a million volts in a single discharge..."

As Kaminari smugly walked back to his chair, a red-hair boy walked up before the class and said, "I'm Eijiro Kirishima and I will strive to be the manliest man with my Hardening Quirk. It may not look like much, but with it, I'll be a chivalrous hero of the people!" Following Kirishima was an androgynous humanoid who had a rock-like head. It also had the body posture of someone cowering and though it walked up to the front of the class to introduce itself like all the others, it brought up a whiteboard with writing; apparently too scared to speak out.

The board this odd student brought up read as, "Hello everyone, my name is Koji Koda and my Quirk is Anivoice. I can talk to animals and borrow their power, but insects are scary." Refusing to look into anyone's eyes, Koda walked back over to his seat. After Koji, there came what looked to be a fully grown man, who introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Rikkido Sato and I call my Quirk Sugar Rush. With it, I can ingest ten grams of sugar to become five times stronger for three minutes and for every ten more grams I take, I can keep up the powered-up state for three more minutes. I do lose my mental functions the longer I stay powered up though..."

With Sato returning to his seat, the monster-like Shoji walked up to the front of the class to say, "My name is Mezo Shoji and I've come to refer to my Quirk as Dupliarms. With the tentacle-like appendages that are attached to my arms, I can create additional body parts. All the organs that are created from my Dupliarms are stronger than the originals, so if create eyes I can see better, ears will let me hear better, and so on..."

After the three monstrous men, there finally came a rather normal looking teen girl who introduced herself, "Everyone, my name is Kyoka Jiro and my Quirk is called Earphone Jack. I have these AUX jacks hanging off my earlobes which can extend several feet long. With them, I can scout through walls or conduct my heartbeat through them to unleash sonic attacks."

Following Jiro, there came a strangely bland boy who displayed his arms as he explained, "Hi guys, I'm Hanta Sero and my Quirk, Tape, lets me spit cellophane from my elbows. I can't shoot tape endlessly though, as I dries my skin and can be really painful after a while." After Sero came what appeared to be a human-bird hybrid that possessed a human body from the base of the neck down, but his head was that of a blackbird. "Greetings, I'm Fumikage Tokoyami and with my Quirk, Dark Shadow, I will become a most fearsome hero. I harbor a creature of the night within my body which grows powerful in the darkness," explained the bird-headed teen.

Replacing Tokoyami as he walked back to his chair was a distant boy with half-red half-grey hair parted by color perfectly in the middle of his head. He also had what appeared to be a burn scar on the left side of his face and heterochromatic eyes. Without much emotion, the boy introduced himself, "My name is Shota Todoroki and though my Quik Half-Cold Half-Hot lets me use both flames and ice, you'll never see me use my left side — the side that controls fire."

Taking the distant boy's place as he stepped back over to his seat was… a floating set of U.A.'s uniform for girls? Miraculously, a voice came from the front of the class, saying, "Hi y'all, my name's Toru Hagakure and my Quirk is pretty obvious isn't it? Its invisibility, so try to not act surprised or bump into me by accident. Hahaha..." Laughing at her own playful quip, most of the other students found her to be endearing. Only Takezushi was confused as to what she was talking about. He thought 'How is that obvious? This is quite the eccentric girl...'

After the invisible girl went back to her seat, it was the blond and obnoxious Bakugo's turn to introduce himself, "Listen up you extras 'cause I'll only say it once. My name is Katsuki Bakugou and I'm going to be the number one hero. Don't even think about competing with me or my Explosion Quirk, or I'll fucking kill!" Though he didn't mean that he would literally kill them, it sure felt like it, as he had a wrathful conviction behind each and every one of his words.

Without deigning to look over the reactions of his classmates, Bakugou scoffed before walking over to his chair. Rising up to introduce himself, Izuku was the next person in line. He was also the antipode to Bakugou, as his voice held absolutely no confidence as he said, "Um… Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya and I, uh… call my Quirk, Superpower. A-as you saw during the test, I can activate m-my Quirk to get a boost in strength. But it's still very incompatible with my body, so I get damaged every time I use it."

As Izuku walked back to his seat dejectedly, the short purple-ball haired Mineta took his spot at the front of the class. "Guys, my name is Minoru Mineta. I call my Quirk Pop-Off and what it does is allow me to take these purple balls from my head. My balls stick to everything aside from me..." Until the last sentence where he started grinning maliciously, all seemed fine. But now, Mineta was essentially considered a prude.

Being glared at ferociously, Mineta quickly made his way back over to his desk and in his stead, the ever-versatile Momo went up to introduce herself. She said, "Hello everyone, my parents named me Momo Yaoyorozu and with my Quirk, Creation, I can turn the lipids in my body into just about anything I understand at the molecular level." After a short bow, Momo curtly walked back over to her seat as the rest of the class picked themselves up as the moment of truth had arrived; they were about to learn what Quirk Takezushi possessed.

Following the pattern of the other students, Takezushi stood up and walked over to the front of the class before introducing himself. He said, "Hi, my name is Takezushi Otsutsuki and all of you are welcome to call me Takezushi. I call my Quirk, Chakra, and with it, I can use a special energy that comes from mixing spiritual and physical energies." He was about to leave as he had finished his introduction and completed a bow to show respect when he was suddenly assaulted with all the questions everyone was dying to know.

"Wait, so this Chakra energy you talk about gives you super strength?" Kaminari was the first to ask a question.

"Not exactly. I can use Chakra to increase my physical strength if I need to, but what you saw out there today was me without using anything chakra as per the request of Aizawa-sensei."

"YOU WEREN'T EVEN USING YOUR QUIRK FOR THE TEST?" Kirishima, Sato, and Kaminari's voices harmonized as they yelled at the same time.

"Well no, not really. I guess I should elaborate for you to understand, but my Quirk is a Mutant Type Quirk. Since I awakened it and my body developed a chakra network, I stopped being a regular person and it's only because of all the training I've done throughout my life that I am that strong without actively using my quirk."

"Jesus Chirst, man! How long have you been training to get to that level?!" Kaminari asked.

"Mhmm… If I recall correctly it was around the time I was three and a half years old. Back then I started doing fieldwork to support my family and since I was a slave, I had nothing else to do but work and consequently, train." Takezushi said, his face barely changing as he mentioned his past life as a slave.

"Y-y-you w-what? D-did you just s-say you w-were a slave?!" A shocked Iida was the only one capable of asking this question as he was the only one who failed to register how much emotional baggage Takezushi might be carrying around that topic.

He was looked at like an idiot until Takezushi nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, it's only until around a year ago that I was living a slave's life in North Korea."

Now it wasn't just Iida, but everyone, including Aizawa, was looking at Takezushi with wide eyes and a gaping jaw. 'What?!' They all thought, 'How could anyone hold this monster as a slave?'

Kaminari, after letting the information digest and realizing how little Takezushi cared about the topic, asked, "You seem fine now, so… How exactly did you escape? And what could possibly hold you as a slave, with your strength?!"

"How did I escape? Well, it's a bit complicated, but I kind of just walked out. You see, with my chakra I can do a lot of things; not just increase my physical strength. If you recall, during the Grip Strength test and the Pitch, Midoriya hurt himself from using his Quirk and I healed him. Well, what I did was transform my chakra into Yang energy to heal him. By that very same token, I can use a different type of energy to warp myself or others into my own personal dimension. I can superimpose my dimension with the Earth and manually rearrange spacetime so that taking a few steps in my dimension is like crossing dozens of miles on Earth."

"As for your other question… The only reason I didn't escape sooner wasn't because I couldn't, rather, I wanted to guarantee my mother's safety." Takezushi grew a bit sad as he brought up his mother as he couldn't imagine what she might be going through right now.

"Y-you have your own dimension?!" A couple of the boys asked with sparkles of admiration spawning from their eyes.

"It's not exactly a pretty sight, but yes; I do have my own dimension," Takezushi answered. To him, there wasn't really a point in hiding this Mangekyo ability as it wasn't like someone could enter his dimension without his permission. They needed to possess Kamui and even if by some miracle someone managed to steal one or both of his eyes, they needed to steal them while he was using Kamui as well as possess chakra to activate the eyes; something no one aside from Takezushi possessed.

"That's so fucking cool, could you show me after school?" Kaminari, who had time and time again proven himself to be the most easy-going boy, asked.

"Sure..." Takezushi said, before looking around as if to ask, "Can I sit down, now?" No one made any gesture to keep him up at the front of the class, so he stepped back over to his desk. As he walked through the classroom he was eyed with a spectrum of different expressions. Some students marveled over his abilities and showered him with looks of admiration, while others honed in on Takezushi's tragic backstory and looked at him with difficult expressions.

Takezushi didn't mind them as he sat back down and waited for his teacher to formally end today's activities, so that he could go back home and start training in Toad Sage Arts. As if on cue, Aizawa droned on from within his sleeping back, "I guess that wraps things up for the day. Don't forget to bring your books as classes start tomorrow. That is all..." Today was a Sunday and as the first day of the academic school year, students would have expected to meet with their counselors before picking up their curriculum sheets. The only reason Aizawa could pull off a stunt like the Quirk Apprehension test was because of how much freedom U.A. gave their teachers.

Thus, with the day over with, people started getting up to leave. As Takezushi was getting up to leave as well, he was approached by half the class. As he squinted at them, Kaminari stated, "I'm pretty sure we all want to see your dimension." Takezushi looked around and even some of the students that were on their way out stopped and came over to his side; clearly interested in the proposition.

"Ok then," Takezushi turned to address his teacher and asked, "Aizawa-sensei, is it ok if I warp out of the school with my classmates?" He was only asking as they were still in Aizawa's classroom.

"So long as you don't damage any of the school's property, it should be fine." He rose up from lying down on the floor interested in seeing how Takezushi would 'warp' the class into his dimension.

After nodding in thanks for the permission, Takezushi said, "Now, don't freak out when you enter my dimension as I can't warp everyone here at the same time." He then explained that he would be warping them all in the order they were surrounding him by from left to right and within three seconds, Takezushi found himself with over a dozen of his peers in his Kamui Dimension.

Upon arriving, Takezushi was greeted with the sight of everyone either exclaiming as zealots or just standing around in shock. But eventually, Momo sobered up and asked him, "Takezushi, your eyes..."

"Holy crap, man, your eyes are all red and menacing..." Kaminari commented while Kirishima added, "That's so manly..."

"Don't worry, it's just something that happens when I activate the energy that lets me warp myself or others into this dimension. I can change my eyes into a bunch of other forms, so unless I'm bleeding or something, just assume I'm fine." As Takezushi explained, his Sharingan flickered into different Mangekyo forms. True to its name, it looked like a Kaleidoscope.

With everyone that had grown worried now calming down, Uraraka came up to Takezushi and asked, "Say, can you really change spacetime to make a long walk, short?"

"Yes? Why, is there somewhere you want to go?" Takezushi offered.

"Really?! If I gave you directions to my house could you drop me off? I'd really appreciate it..." She tried to play it off as a joke, but Uraraka was dead serious.

"Sure, but it would be best if you could give me a reference point as well. Messing around with spacetime can be quite complicated..." Takezushi responded. He was eagerly given the directions to Uraraka's house and after she showed him a street view image, he quickly rearranged the spacetime parameters of his Kamui Dimension. After scaling the ratio of distance crossed to 50:1, he lead the group of teens along a short walk atop the constructs of his dimension before peeking out of his Kamui dimension to readjust the vertical height of their departure point; he had learned from his earlier mistakes.

Only warping himself and Uraraka, Takezushi was heavily thanked for "the ride," before returning to his Kamui Dimension. Since he had already displaced all the other students in his Dimension he felt bad dropping them off where they were currently positioned and with his lack of social intelligence, he knew it would look bad if he had them return to their homeroom. So, after offering everyone else a free ride through his dimension to their homes, Takezushi went about conducting what could only be described as chaufer duty.

Still, it never bothered Takezushi as the time wasted helping his classmates didn't even reach ten minutes. Upon escorting Midoriya to his house as the last person aboard his dimension, Takezushi was treated to some cookies from Izuku's mom before returning to his home and seriously starting his long-awaited cultivation of Sage Arts. With a dark look passing by his eyes, he thought seriously about what he would do when he found his mother. With Sage Arts unlocked, it would only be a matter of time before they were once by each other's side. But depending on the state that he found her… Takezushi couldn't even focus on thinking of what he would do.
