Chapter 32
The Next Morning - Ray's POV
I walk into Recovery Girls office to see her and Principle Nezu talking.
"Ray?" Recovery girl asks surprised because I usually only come to help Izu.
"So, funny story, last night in the dorm house, I was trying to get away from Katsuki because I pissed him off, and I was running up the stairs to get to my room, but he was already at the top because he rode the elevator, it surprised me and I fell down the flights of stairs and sprained my wrist and got a minor concussion along with a dozen or more bruises." I say to her with a nervous smile and Principle Nezu laughs amused while Recovery Girl sighs.
"You idiot." Aizawa says behind me and I freeze.
"Ok, for one, blame Mina, she made me come play their guessing game, if I didn't play that game, I would be sitting in class right now." I say to him with a small snort.
"I told you not to run up the stairs." Aizawa says to me and I roll my eyes.
"And I didn't listen, clearly." I say to him as I cross my arms over my chest.
Recovery Girl sighs and points a glare at us which stops the both of us from arguing.
"You know what, my arm is fine, I'm going to class now." I say nervously and Principle Nezu looks amused as me and Aizawa start to back out of the room.
"Ray, your hand." Recovery girl says to me sternly and I see tools I've never seen before and I sweat nervously.
"You know, I can live with a sprain." I say apprehensively as I hide my arm behind my back.
"Come on Ray, it isn't that bad." Izu says as he walks past.
"Says you! Your always getting hurt." I say to him worried about my arm.
"Yeah, we'll be going now, class is about to start." Aizawa says to Recovery Girl.
"Ray, come back here at Lunch." Recovery Girl orders me and I smile nervously, but I back out of there.
"You don't like her tools?" Aizawa asks me as we walk.
"I've never gotten seriously hurt before, my quirk usually prevents injuries, but I could think fast enough to stop this one." I say to him and Aizawa nods.
We get to class and I sit at my seat.
"Ray, I have a question." Denki says to me seriously.
I look over at him. "Would you elaborate?" I ask him.
"Elaborate?" Denki and Mina ask confused and I sigh.
"Just ask the question." I say to him in mild annoyance.
"If you punch yourself and it hurts, does that mean your strong or weak?" Denki asks me confused.
"First, it would make you a stupid human being, second, if this is hypothetical, then try it right now." I say to Denki.
"Alright!" Denki says excited and punches himself. "It didn't hurt." Denki says frowning.
"Your either weak or immune to pain." I say to him and he starts thinking and I swear I see smoke. "I can always punch you to find out." I say and he looks at me and then smirks.
"Bring it on!" Denki says to me excitedly.
I get up and I walk over and punch him square in the face.
"OWW!" He cries holding his face.
"Question solved, your weak, physically." I say to him and I go sit back down.
"So harsh."
"Ray, your hand." Hagakure says shocked.
"Remember when I fell down the stairs last night? This was the result." I say bluntly and Aizawa clears his throat and class begins with him talking about this big three and I frown, putting my head in my arms. "Big three?" I ask confused.
"The top three students who have remained at the top of UA." Aizawa says to me in minor annoyance.
"Yeah I get that, but why now?" I ask him.
"You just got your licenses." Aizawa says to me and I shrug. "They're here to give you advice and stuff like that." Aizawa says to me and I look out the window.
"Eh." I hum and he sighs.
"She's not interested." Half the class sighs in disbelief.
Three students walk in and I glance over to see Mirio, one girl and this depressed emo kid.
I look back out the window as they talk and the one girl who came walks over to me curious.
"Sensei, is this the Female Midoriya?" She asks Aizawa and my eye twitches slightly but I ignore her.
"Ray! This is so exciting, why aren't you excited?" Kirishima asks me grinning.
I look back at him. "They're just students with probably exceptional quirks, your also mistaking me for my brother who gets excited meeting new people." I say to Kirishima who laughs nervously.
"Hmm." The girl hums observing me and I look back at her to see she's got long pale blue hair hair, and a body that any man would kill for.
I blink and huff, resting my head farther in my arms.
"She's so cute!" The bluette squeals and I deadpan.
Aizawa smirks at me and I scowl at him.
"She looks like a puppy, Mirio, doesn't she look like a puppy?" Bluette asks me and Mirio smiles, a look in his eyes that looks like he's remembering the punch I gave him last night.
"A deadly puppy." Mirio says to her as he pulls her away from me.
"Deadly?" Bluette asks confused.
"I can't be blamed for my reflexes." I say and Aizawa bores holes into me with his eyes.
"Ray, you can blamed for your reflexes." Izu says to me nervously.
"Not if I was purposely being spooked and spied on." I say and Bluette laughs.
"So your the reason for the bruise he received last night." Bluette says to me and I blink.
"Aizawa-Sensei, I'd like to point out, that we don't know their names yet." I say to him.
Aizawa sighs and looks at them. "Okay, can you please introduce yourselves briefly?" Aizawa asks them. "Lets start with Amajiki." Aizawa says to him.
I look at the nervous emo looking boy as he gives off this super intense look.
I just put my head in my arms, not too bothered.
He speaks after a moment. "Its no good, Mirio, Hado, even if I look out on them, imagining that they're potatoes, everything other than their heads remain human. I still can't see them as anything but human. What should I do? I can't say anything, my minds blank, I want to go home." He mutters, trembling in fear, and that peaks my curiosity.
Everyone else just kind of, gasps in shock.
"Um, you are the top of U.A.'s hero course, right?" Ojiro asks him, nervously.
"Oh, listen, Amajiki! That's called having the heart of a flea! Even though you're human! It's so strange!" Bluette says to him, cheerfully, and that just makes me want to go home now. She turns to us and holds her hand towards the emo. "This is the flea, Tamaki Amajiki." She introduces him as he trembles, facing the wall. She then motions to herself and says, "And then, I'm Nejire Hado." She puts her hand down behind her back. "We were asked to talk to you guys about work studies." She says to us with a smile.
I sweat drop as she stands in front of Shoji, I already can't remember her name.
"But wait, hey, hey, why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick?" Bluette asks Shoji.
"This is because in the past," Shoji didn't even get to finish before her attention turned to Shoto.
"Oh my! You must be Todoroki, right? Right? How did you get burned right there?" Bluette asks Shoto.
I just sigh and she turns to Mina before Shoto can explain.
"Ashido, if your horns break off, will new ones grow in? Can you move them?" Bluette asks her and then looks at me. "Ray, why do you look like Aizawa-Sensei?" Bluette asks and I hit my head on my desk, repeatedly as she moves onto Grape head.
"I want to go back to my dorm room, away from the living embodiment of ADHD." I mutter and Aizawa nods in agreement.
A note gets thrown at my head and it falls to the ground next to me. I lean over and I pick it up. I open it and it's from Shoto, he wants to talk about what Bluette said about me.
I roll my eyes and I put the note in my desk and I get up as Mineta goes off about his grapes. I walk over to Mineta and I hit him on the back of his head.
"Knock it off, they're hear to visit, and Bluette was talking about the grapes on your head, not the ones in your pants." I growl lowly and he sits down in fear.
I go and sit back down.
"Thank you, Ray." Momo says to me and I nod.
I see red around Aizawa as he looks at Mirio, and Aizawa's hair starts to float up. "Isn't this lacking rationality?" Aizawa asks Mirio, beyond annoyed.
Mirio jumps, startled, and probably a little scared. "Don't worry, Eraser Head! I'm going last to wrap things up, right?" Mirio asks Aizawa, also full of energy.
I just raise an eyebrow at Aizawa who looks, beyond annoyed.
"The futures gonna be?" Mirio hypes up and it goes silent, to which, I snicker at. "Grim! That's what you were s'posed to say, right?" Mirio asks us.
"I wouldn't know, I don't pay attention, and Aizawa-Sensei, I'd chill before you bust a blood vessel in your eyes." I say to them.
"All right! My call-and-response was a huge fail!" Mirio laughs at himself.
I just look at the window and I walk over and open it, getting ready to jump out.
"Ray, what are you doing?" Hagakure asks me, nervously.
"I'm going back to the dorms, there's too much energy here and I'm suffocating." I say to her.
"Ray! It's too high up!" Bluette exclaims worriedly.
"That didn't stop me from getting my pen." I say and Aizawa sighs in annoyance. "Your not gonna stop me Aizawa-Sensei, even with a sprained wrist, I can still jump out a window, the problem is you can't follow me." I say as I crouch on the sill.
The emo boy just stares at me.
I almost jump out the window, before Aizawa uses his bandages to pull me back in.
"No." Aizawa sprays me with water, and that annoys me.
"Aizawa-Sensei, I don't appreciate you doing that to me again." I say to him, getting more annoyed and he sprays me in the face. I dive out the window before he can catch me.
"RAY!" Bluette yells, frightened.
I use my water to help me land safely, but I come face to face with Present Mic.
"Shota knew you were gonna try to escape." Present Mic says to me amused.
"Shit." I curse quietly and I use my water to create stairs up to the class room window and Present Mic follows me up, as I twitch in annoyance. "Damn you." I say to Aizawa as I step back in side the class room, Mic behind me.
"Well, what do you expect?" Momo asks me and I huff, sitting down in my seat.
Mirio goes on to talk and I hear fight him.
"I'll do that." I say to Mirio and he grins.
"Ray, shut up, you don't get a say in this, your always ready to fight." Mina says to me.
"I wonder why." I say to her sarcastically.
"Yeah, I do wonder why." Mina says to me.
I shake my head unamused and I rest my head in my arms.
We do get to fight, and we end up in a training area, in our gym uniforms, and I just leave my coat open with a black tank top on underneath.
I tie my hair up as everyone else gets ready.
"Ray, do you think you'll be able to fight him and win?" Izu asks me, a little nervous.
"Maybe, maybe not, he is a third year, and I'm the daughter of a pro hero, who knows." I say with a small shrug, making sure my bangs are left down and over my left eye.
"Mirio, you probably shouldn't." Amajiki mutters quietly. It would have been enough for us to say, This is how it was, and I learned a lot from it. Not everyone is filled to the brim with ambition. We can't end up with kids who are unable to recover after this." Amijiki continues.
I stretch and of course, my wrist hurts.
"Should you really fight with that wrist?" Kirishima asks me.
"I'll be fine, after all, I'm a long range fighter, I don't require a lot of physical activity." I say to him with a small shrug. "And besides, if it gets to be to much for my hand, I'll just find a place to sit and watch." I say to Kirishima.
Kirishima nods. "Bakugou would be annoyed if you hurt your wrist further." Kirishima reminds me and I scowl.
"He can fuck himself, I'm gonna fight." I say to Kirishima.
We start the fight, and I'm in trouble, Mirio comes for me after dealing with most of the other long range students.
"I should really expect the unexpected." I say as I block his fists to the best of my ability.
"You really should." Mirio says to me.
"I can't use my quirk, it'll phase through him, so what? That leaves me with my fists, but that doesn't work, because I sprained my wrist. Now what? Izu wasn't able to hit him, and all I can do is block, how do I defeat him. He's strong, its not his quirk that lets him be strong, no, he's definitely trained his muscles, other wise he'd be incredibly weak with just his quirk, letting him phase through things. He'd have to train his muscles, he couldn't be a hero otherwise, especially with his quirk." I mutter quietly.
"Your thinking too much." Mirio says and almost uppercuts me, but I flip backwards, and my foot phases through his face.
"GO RAY!" The people who are down, yell.
I dodge and block, waiting for an opening, but that doesn't happen.
"I got him last night, but that's because he wasn't expecting it, he's expecting it now, so that rules out trying to catch him by surprise." I say to myself and I create stairs, using my water quirk and I run up them, onto a rock, giving me only a moment to think. "What would Mom do?" I ask myself and I turn around and I just about punch Mirio, but my fist phases through, and scrunch my nose up in annoyance.
"You should know by now, that's not going to work." Mirio says to me and he punches me off the rock.
I fall to the ground, but I flip and land on my feet.
"She's able to stand after that?" Amajiki asks surprised.
"Oh please, my step dad's punches hurt worse than that." I say and Mirio appears behind me.
"I'll just have to hit harder then." Mirio says to me and I dodge him, over and over, as my wrist gets more irritated.
"Yeah, this can't be good for my wrist." I say to myself.
"She was on the right track though." Amajiki mutters.
I wait for an opening, and that takes a couple minutes, and I use my water quirk on him, making him solidified.
"Finally!" I say and I punch Mirio in the stomach and he flies back by sheer force.
"WHAT?" Bluette yells shocked.
I sigh. "My quirk is different, and I also have a lot of strength myself." I say as I continue to use my quirk on Mirio.
"Nice job." Mirio says to me, still standing.
I pick him up with my quirk and everyone in my class just sweat drops, since I'm bored now.
"Let us have a try!" My classmates yell at me.
I set him down and I release my quirk. "Fine." I say and I flex my sprained wrist. "I'm just gonna watch." I say as I lean backward against the wall.
"You, you almost beat him." Amajiki says to me surprised.
I just shrug. "I'm able to think on my feet. I saw an opening, I took it, my quirk doesn't just manipulate water, there's more too it than that." I say to him and I watch the fight go on, and it ends, almost instantly. "Well that was fast." I say and Amajiki nods.
I walk over to Izu and I bend down next to him.
"I feel as if, I should be angry, but then again, I trained hard to get where I am, and you trained hard too, but he's a third year, and we're first years, so its only to be expected that we aren't as good as him." I say Izu and he coughs and groans. "Though I'm pretty sure All Might punched you harder than that during the exam." I say and I pat his back before getting up. "Mirio, next time, if there is a next time, do try to hold back on your punches, I would punch you now, but I know I'll only phase through." I say and Mirio nods with a grins as he puts his pants on. "Alright, up, all of you." I say to my class.
"We aren't you, we can't handle that hard of a punch and get back up." Mina mutters.
I shake my head. "Come on, up." I say to them.
