Chapter 17: The Chosen One?
...
Akash Pov
I casually looked at my distant relative trying to Gobble up the body of spiky-haired bad-tempered bully kid, Katsuki Bakugo. Yup, I am the scene where the world's darling spiderman*oops*, that is the wrong word, I mean Izuku Midoriya shows his heart of 24k carat pure gold and impresses the strongest Hero of the World with his stupidity and becomes the successor of One For All!!
"Damn it!! Why aren't other heroes here?!!", said a hero who looked like a tree trunk. Dunno but I am just in the mood to be sarcastic for whatever reason, maybe slimes have an Evil cycle as well? Or I am in a bad mood because I haven't got my Nuclear Reactor Skill yet! In the past two years, I have done a lot of things, defeated Overhaul, got the Unique Skill Time Rewind, and Extra Skill Separation& Synthesis, and mastered my Magic.
Yup saved Eri from her tragic fate as well, as the unknown vigilante whose face isn't even seen yet. But that isn't important, what is important is that in front of me, Baku kid has little time left, and All Might isn't here because of the butterfly effect and only Midoriya has reached here.
"Bakugo!", the green-haired kid shouted as he ran towards his childhood bully. I clicked my tongue sensing All Might running towards here in his sickly pale form still half a kilometer away. I looked at the Heroes who remained stunned making me disgusted,' And here I was praising them for good coordination during the Glitch event ', I thought and then I stepped forward garnering the attention of the Heroes.
" Hey Kid stop!", said a certain Blonde Hero I glared at her releasing a bit of my Magicules, and said," Shut up", my aura stopped her, thankfully for her the amount I released was so minuscule that she didn't die, otherwise with my current Aura alone I can kill all of Tokyo's population in minutes.
Then breaking the sound barrier I reached towards the slimy guy having both Bakugo and Izuku in his wraps, his eyes froze as he looked at me. His quirk is basically a transformation type turning him into a sludge, a distant relative of slime. Thus he could feel the innate oppression in my gaze and turned a few steps back shivering in fear then anger took over him as he realized how pathetic he was being. " Do you think I fear you?!!!!", he screamed loudly breaking the glasses around us, and leaped at me.
' That's why he is still human ', I thought as I casually froze his entire body stopping him in his tracks. If he was a monster he would have never gone against me after feeling my aura. The Bakugo kid and Izuku broke from his grasp and started coughing loudly and breathing heavily, I had stopped the fire so Superheroes quickly rushed to help us.
All Might too finally arrived and seeing that the supervillain had been stopped he breathed in relief and then looked at me surprised. " Kid what you did now was simply stupid, also you! Considering that you have helped them we will excuse your usage of quirk indiscriminately but don't again do that!", said the same blonde hero whom I scared earlier alas Mt. Lady.
" Don't be hard on her, Miss your quirk is amazing! I am sure you will be a fine superhero!", said Kamui Wood.
I just sighed at my gender being misunderstood for the umpteenth time, The media came over and started glorifying Superheroes, and I was left alone as Katsugi was praised for his wonderful quirk and Izuku was reprimanded for his stupid actions.
I looked at Izuku and his hollow eyes, as if a rage was to erupt anytime.' Thank world but I have no desire to see what happens if Izuku turns into a villain ', I thought and then coming in front of Kamui Wood and Mt. Lady I said," Aren't you ashamed of yourself?", my voice was loud and clear making the entire place silent for a moment, the cameraman quickly focused on me.
"You all are Proheroes yet you did nothing when that villain attempted to kill that spiky-haired kid", I said, ignoring Bakugo who was fuming from the fact that I referred to him as a spiky-haired kid. " We didn't have the right quirks to deal with the situation!", Kamui wood retorted seeing that everything was being broadcast live.
"Excuses! You all are Proheroes and supposed to protect people, yet some fire scared you? Secondly, stop reprimanding that poor kid and praising that blond idiot. That guy there is the one who caused the fire and destruction as he tried to be a hero fighting against that sludge villain, while this boy despite being weak, ran the moment he saw his friend in trouble disregarding his safety, he was more of a ProHero than all of you Present!!!!", I said silencing the entire area.
Izuku looked at me in disbelief, and Bakugo with silence as shame filled his mind. Despite being a bully he still had a platinum heart of heroism or maybe a black charcoal heart of heroism. Whatever it might be he had some sense at least." Miss can you stop accusing Heroes they saved us in the end", said a civilian.
My eyes almost bulged out hearing him say that and I asked," Sorry but who froze the villain again?". He paused and replied, "You", his sound weak and he realized he made the stupidest argument possible in his mind." It is pro heroes job to save civilians and if you are scared to put your life on the line then you shouldn't have chosen this job in the first place", I said.
Well, I am spouting some bullshit knowing most of them chose this line of work for fame and money, but hey for the general public, my bullshit is the actual truth! All Might is a stunning example of this! The Proheroes felt ashamed hearing my words incapable of retorting aggressively in the presence of the public and being on Television live.
I went towards Midoriya and forwarded my hand," I am Akash", I said, he grabbed my hand with a slightly unsettling blush on his face and replied," I-I I am Izuki I mean Izuku Midoriya! Nice to meet cha", he stunningly made a fool of himself. I could literally see it on his face,' Godamnit! Why did you make a fool of yourself Izuku in front of such a beautiful girl?!! ', his face is readable, to say the least.
I looked at him deadpan and said," I am a male", he froze hearing me, even the others who heard my words were stunned for a moment they thought I was joking and I simply said," It is because of my quirk that I look like this", he face lost all light as he became unconscious. It would seem my words had a profound effect on his heart.
" Um Akash", said the pale sickly All Might who decided to approach us, I narrowed my eyes, and then I said," Let's meet somewhere else", he glanced at unconscious Izuku whom I took in a princess carry and he then nodded awkwardly. Finally, after throwing a last few insults at the Poor Proheroes, I left the place and regrouped with All Might and then we went to a secluded place.
I kept Izuku on the ground gently, poor broccoli does deserve to be treated a bit good, at least after I saw the patches of injuries throughout his body. " Akash I am thankful that you were there, otherwise...", he said, clenching his fists feeling ashamed that the whole incident was his fault. I then glanced at him and then at Izuku," What do you think of him?".
He paused a bit and looking at Izuku, he asked confused," Him?", I nodded and continued," As you heard he charged towards that sludge guy or whatever the moment he saw that spiky kid, probably his best friend of sorts in trouble", I almost snickered on saying that Bakugo was Izuku's best friend. Midoriya's patches of rough skin which were remnant of severe bullying made me slice Bakushit's body into a few million pieces.
He looked at Izuku and took a deep breath and said," Do you think he has-", I cut his words and said," Weren't you quirkless?", he flinched as his face morphed into a guilty look and he said," Damn, What have I done?", he fell on the floor. The realization hit him like Truck Kun who always reincarnates some random Japanese boy into a Western fantasy world.
" Uh...Where I am? Huh?! All Might! Also Miss A-kash", he paused in shock remembering I was male, and started quivering in shock and fear, he pointed his finger toward me and asked," You are a male?", I nodded and he went unconscious again. " Izuku!", said All Might who had already decided to make him the successor for One For All!
I got to his level and gave a thumbs up to All Might," Don't worry I have got this Toshinori!", I said and then he puked blood seeing me slap Midoriya repeatedly. " Stop it Young Akash!!", he said worriedly.
...
A few minutes later,
Izuku woke up with his cheeks swollen and he looked at us. All Might looked at me with piercing eyes and I just shrugged and said," People often get unconscious or a powerful shock hearing about my real gender, and my genius brain has found out this is the best way to wake them up!", both of them shivered wondering how many poor souls had their cheeks swollen from my consecutive ' Get conscious! ', slaps.
" Ahem, I would like to apologize on Akash's behalf, and what I wanted to say is that YOUNG MAN YOU TOO CAN BECOME A HERO!", he said dramatically, and Midoriya's eyes became moist as tears started falling down. I patted his shoulders knowing how much emotional he was as now. He was bullied from a young age none other than his supposedly best friend, always got mocked for his dream, for him being quirkless as if he was a disabled person.
Even his mother gave up on his dreams, and even after that, he stayed positive till now. Not gonna lie if I were in his shoes I would have straight gone into Edgy Villain mode, strangled up Bakushit, drowned him in a gutter, and then cremated his dead body into ashes, and then I would have thrown those ashes into radioactive waste. I didn't know that my thoughts caused a certain spiky blond-haired brat to have chills on his spine.
So yeah, gotta respect him for still becoming such a pure-hearted ProHero after all that he had gone through." Very well listen to me Young Midoriya! I will pass on my quirk to you!", he said the most shocking fact, stopping Midoriya's tears and a confused look appeared on his face, I decided to left the place as making him understand that 1+1 isn't equal to 2 wasn't my job.
" Um, Akash? Where are you going?", All Might asked me, I glanced at him and said," Leaving you two for some Master-disciple bonding, and thus I left the place while All Might was bombarded with questions by Midoriya frying his poor brain, which was unable to process the complexity of the blabber Izuku was muttering.
After arriving a good distance from them I used my quirk to quickly leave the place, and upon reaching home I muttered," The Chosen One? Wonder if there is some world spirit or something, anyway Great Sage how much time is left?".
[Report! Due to me focusing my entire prowess on attempting to acquire a new skill, only 2 weeks had been left], she replied.
I sighed recalling how after I acquired Rewind it took a good chunk of my magicules and to make sure my magicules didn't fall from the level Great Sage tried using the thin magicules stored in my stomach to compensate for the acquisition which messed up the process of me acquiring the Nuclear Energy Generator skill or whatever, and I had to restart it from the beginning, the only good thing is my entire strength wasn't reminded, otherwise, I would have lost all that I have acquired till then.
' As they say, you play with time, and time plays with you ', I thought and was thankful that after the acquisition of the Unique Skill Time Rewind, it won't go berserk that last time, though it gave me a good reminder of the fact that acquiring stronger abilities have greater risks literally. Something I will take to my heart.
