Strongest Ninja In A Hero Society

Chapter 17 - Introductions (2/2)

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 f.u.c.k.i.n.g 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.
