Chapter 7: Cursed

A day after the encounter...

===============

Cyclone's P. O. V

=============== 

"Here's your pay, Cyclone. Hope you'll continue to stop more crimes out there." The bank teller guy told me. 

"Thanks. I needed this money really badly." I said before I take my leave. 

< That's a quite the sum of cash. What do you plan to do with it though? >

"I'll probably turn this into dollars," I told Effect and he was utterly confused by my reasoning. But that's what I really plan with this ¥en I have. 

< Sounds really unnecessary. You sure you wanna do that? > 

'Yes. Away from that conversation, what shall I eat today?' I told myself.

< You should eat something healthy this time. I thought you need to keep your body in shape right? >

"Hell yeah. But I don't see many food trucks or shops nearby. I gotta look for alternatives then." As I jumped high into the air and scoured my surroundings for delicious grub to eat this afternoon.

I jumped around more buildings trying to find some quality healthy eats...

But then I gave up halfway and just looked onto my phone and check my map app. There's a lot of restaurants. Let's filter the searches for vegan restaurants... 

"Got one. This seems a good one." And I jumped off the building and went to the restaurant. I have not been eating healthy for the past few weeks. I have been in the gym, but my diet isn't following suit. I should pace myself again and eat healthily. 

I went inside of the vegan restaurant and ordered quite a large meal for myself. I gotta treat myself once in a while right? I'm fine sacrificing money, in turn, making my happiness go up. Self-love is an underestimated thing amongst people. 

After eating a big meal later...

"There. I'm not late to the school right?" I told Effect. And I think he's laying dormant. He doesn't wanna respond right now. I guess he's taking a break.

I took a look at my phone and looked at the time. Hoping that I'm not late at all to get to U. A Academy for his classes. 

As I find out, I'm not actually late! But there's a lot of time before being late. So I'll go back to the house and check on my mom. I just went out of the house but I realized it was too early. And classes don't start until 1:00 PM. The schedule of that school always changes every year. Too unpredictable. What next? Classes will start on 6:00 AM? 

"Alright. Back to my home. I have some news to tell my mom anyways." As I jumped very high up in the air.

I parkoured my way back to the house. And it was quite the cardio training. But I got there in swift fashion.

At the Cyclone family's house. 

"Mom! Sorry if I came back." I said as I opened the door. And she's in the kitchen cooking something for herself.

"Oh? What do you want? Did you forget something?" She looked at me before snapping her head back to the pan where she was... Cooking some veggies. It smells good though.

"Do you want some, son?" My mom smiled at me and I smiled back but I refused since I already just ate something healthy too just 10 minutes ago.

"I'm actually here to talk about our living condition." I sat down on the dining chair and she looked at me all serious. 

"Is it bad news? You look angry, my dear." She said worriedly.

"No, not really." My face made a slight smile.

"Really? You had me worried there." My mom chuckled.

"I got an offer from Principal Nezu of U. A Academy," I said to mom. In which she was really surprised by the sudden news.  I can tell she was not expecting this at all. Especially I'm getting an offer from a genetically engineered bear who has a scar on his right eye like some edgy hero.

"What's the deal? About your teaching in that school? Congrats on that by the way." My mom turned off the stovetop. Signaling that the dish she's making is done. 

"No, no. That was already settled a few days ago. Or should I say, yesterday. But the offer was that you're gonna move into the Academy, rent-free it looks like." I told her and she smiled. I think that's already a "yes" from her body language. 

"Really? But I have to leave this house. This house is my life. I raised you here." She said with her smiled slightly fading away. 

"That's true. But your safety is guaranteed there! And I can make the school I'm teaching in, become my 2nd home." I convinced my mom. And she agreed. I mean, it was almost a 'too good to be true' type of deal. 

"Okay, then. I'll move next week. I'll cherish this house for a while before I go to U. A Academy." My mom said smiling as she put her dish on to the table and started to eat it.

"But can you promise me something, dear?" My mom spoke up which she surprised me. A promise? Coming from her that's a promise that I can't possibly break AT ALL COSTS. 

"After I leave the house, please keep the house here. Do not let it get bought out. This is still our home at the end of the day." She said to me. Sad in her tone. But I want to not make her even sadder.

"I promise you that mom. I'll not let this place fall. And hell, I'll clean this place when I'm not fighting crime and stopping Villains out there." I reassured my mom and she smiled at me while she held my right hand.

"Thank you, my dear. I know that I can trust you. You're becoming trust-worthy. Since you were a little boy, you were always mischievous and always rowdy. I'm glad that I raised you up to be a responsible young man." She teared up a little. 

I reached out my hand to wipe off the slight tears on her eyes and I just gave her a look that reassured her that promise will not be broken at all costs. I failed many people before. From Pro Heroes' expectations to civilians. And this one promise is one thing that I'll not forget and I'll do at all costs. I don't hold promises that much.

But this is one exception. This is your mother damn it. Any good son or daughter would want a preferable situation for their parents. You want their life to be hassle-free as they grow old and less capable to work. 

"It's okay mom. I love you. You know that right mom?" I told her. Smiling.

"Y-you're right. I love you too dear. You know, is it time to be at the school to teach?" She asked me and I immediately snapped to my phone checking the time.

It's 12:39! Okay. It's gonna be 1:00 PM soon. But I think I can get there no late-related problems at all. It's gonna all good. But I need to go now. 

"I'm going out now. mom. Please, take care. Call me when something's up." I stood up from my chair and walked to the front door.

"Okay, son. Be back by 7:00 PM. I'm having Chicken Curry for tonight." She said to me.

"Wow. That's good. Okay, then! I'll be here early too!" As I leave the house. 

Outside the house...

Okay. It's time to parkour my ass to the school. I basically got there with little to no effort. My quirk has been a blessing. And I really should thank my parents for this. Since having a dual quirk is one of the rarest occurrences of a quirk in like... Ever.

Fast-forward to the school grounds...

I got there. Slightly late, but I managed as I sat back on my chair in the faculty room. Every hero in here knows my name and fame. But due to the ominous aura that I give off, they tend to avoid me. I don't get why. I'm a fun guy, really. Ask Effect.

< You called? >

"No, I didn't call for you," I mumbled. And that made Effect slightly annoyed.

< I just heard you venting to the thought of your fellow co-workers avoiding you. Don't you lie to me like that... You can't hide things from me. >

"You make it sound bad," I responded. "But will you help me to overcome this?" I asked him.

< Hell yeah. I'm not here just for being the dumb annoying voice in your head. I can help you tremendously. >

To be honest, he's right at all times. And ironically, I'm the one lying things in his face... Or voice... One of the two. But I looked on my desk and saw papers and they're the student's grade sheets. I forgot the most important thing about the job. Grading students. 

It's not really a hard thing to do, observe skill, attitude, grade, done. It's not much more than that. Since I have really nothing to do but stop crime, I can stay with this probably full-time.

Oh yeah, I have to tell Principal Nezu about the offer again. I guess my mom easily agreed to it. I guess safety the number 1 priority. The hero society is getting challenged again. It's a battle full of ideals, ideas, and their vision of their world. And it's harming anything that it gets in its way. I gotta stop stressing this thought out. I'll just walk around the school or something. 

"Young Cyclone!" All Might said as I stand up from my chair planning to walk around the school. Then this guy just probably stopped me from doing that all together...

"Yes?" I asked him. Wondering what's the deal with him.

"The Class 1-A and Class 1-B are outside the yard right now. Midnight is waiting for you for the obstacle course for the Sports Festival." All Might reminded me of that specific event. Sports Festival.

I reminisced about that Festival. I remembered that I did very well and I got some national recognition. And that recognition is probably the reason that I more well-known. But fame = attention. And attention from the populace and the... Villians. And in a short time, they will not just only target All Might, I would probably be included in their "Most Wanted" list or something.

"Okay, old man. Let's get some food later. I'm somehow getting hungry again." As I walk out of the faculty room.

"You got it Young Cyclone!" All Might as he gestured a thumbs up. 

I teleported to the field and I showed up beside Midnight. In which she got startled. It's always fun to scare someone. And I got a slight laugh because of it. 

"Why are you always teleporting? You're making me more scared of you." Midnight commented on my teleporting habits.

"I'll try to not get lazy next time. I just like it because it's convenient." I answered.

"But why teleport behind people?" She asked once more.

"Because I like scaring people. It's funny." I answered with a smirk on my face.

"You're an asshole sometimes." She facepalmed. "Anyway, shall we finally start? We've been waiting for your arrival."

"Let's start. I want to see their performance at this obstacle course." I answered before walking up to the students.

A-kun: Keep in mind, I'm not really following the storyline. You might see events happen earlier than expected or events being removed completely. So, keep that in mind. This is specifically Cyclone's story. Back to the story.

I also heard from some of the teachers in the faculty that the Sports Festival is gonna happen a month later. And this obstacle course is just a fancy cover-up. Because this obstacle course is literally the same obstacle course I destroyed few years ago before I became a Pro Hero.

"Alright. Seems you all are ready. See this long obstacle course? You're gonna run through this. And it's filled with roadblocks trying to stop you from getting a record time." I smiled. And the students looked at me kinda scared. This aura of mine is getting me no friends, isn't it?

"And some of you nerds know, I hold the record of this obstacle course. The time I got is 8 minutes and 31 seconds for 10 loops of this massive course. I dare you all to try to get close to that record. Your quirk may or may not be really useful for mobility, but it's a fun thing to do." I added. 

And yes, I'm not lying about that record. I still hold it for 2 years. I'm surprised a person hasn't broken it yet. The newer generations always have better quirks than the last. So that could be considered a great accomplishment.

Then Midnight came out of nowhere to continue explaining and I just sat back because she's better in explaining things than I'll ever be. I'm a vague, confusing mess when I'm explaining something.

After 4 minutes of explaining later... 

The explanations finally ended and GOD it was so long. So much unnecessary history being spit out. Not even related to important things down the line of being a student of U. A and finally, it's gonna start.

"Ready. Set. GO!" As a force of powerful wind pushes all the students forward. Everyone was surprised by the push. Some fell down on their face, and some used it to their advantage. Surging forward and getting a huge headstart. Namely, Torodoki and Bakugo. And some Class 1-B students. 

"That's you all get for being not prepared. Now, go!" I told everyone before they finally got up and ran the massive obstacle course. 

Since Midnight was such a "no fun" type of person, they were only requested to run 3 times in loops in this long arena. 

"Why did you just made them run only 3 times?" I asked, slightly disappointed.

"No one can touch that record of yours. Plus, you finished the 1st lap in less than a minute." Midnight answered.

"I mean, there are some students there that have some great mobility quirks," I commented as Midnight facepalmed again.

"You were already advanced in your quirk. And these kids are not good enough with their quirks." 

I keep making people disappointed huh. But seriously, any quirk that can propel them in the air, it's a huge advantage in the obstacle course. 

After 20 minutes later...

Since the obstacle course was so goddamn long, I'll spare you the time. They did their runs, in the middle of their last run, I stepped in and tried to slow them down with my ability Pressure. That ability is a large force of wind being pushed down in an area. So, the students were forced to carry their weights and go to the finished line. Class 1-A dominated in the time aspect, but 1-B did better as a class. As some of the 1-A people just weren't born with a quirk that makes them mobile. 

But the times, I'll spare you those for next time. Since I'm gonna grade this first. 

"Anyway. That's a good exercise for everyone huh? Anyway, I'll leave for now. Midnight, take the wheel." As I pass my grade sheet to Midnight and teleported out of the field.

At the faculty room.

"You're finally here," Eraserhead said to me. As I sit back down on my chair... 

"What's the deal?" I asked the sleepyhead. It should probably his nickname instead though. 

"We're going to eat lunch together right?" All Might said out of nowhere.

"No. Principal Nezu wants you in the office now." Aizawa spoke up over All Might.

All Might got depressed and I stand up of my chair and left the faculty room to go to the Principal's Office.

You're having a fun life aren't ya?
