~ Chapter 42 ~
"I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused!" Izuku exclaimed.
Izuku is back and free from house arrest for the past three days. Except for Katsuki who only had one more day until his house arrest is over. Y/N smiled, happy to see him and chuckle to see the expression on his face with his huffing like a bull.
"Deku, thanks for all your hard work!" Ochaco yelled.
"'Hard work'? Why does he look so angry, anyway?" Kyoka asked.
Izuku looked at Tenya, making him flinch with a sweatdrop.
"Iida, I'm sorry for disappointing you!"
"Right... I'm just glad you know what you did wrong. But what's the matter?"
Izuku clench his fist.
"I'm going to catch up with everything I fell behind in these past three days!"
"Oh, great! I love stuff like that!" Eijiro grinned.
"Of course you do. So basic." Y/N snickered.
"Hey!!"
Y/N then noticed Aizawa enter the class, looking angry. She immediately kept her posture straight.
"In your seats, everyone."
Everyone immediately took their seats without being told twice.
"Morning. Now that Midoriya is back, we'll go into more detail about the work studies. Please come in."
The door was slid open, making Y/N raise her eyebrow.
"We'll have people who experienced it first hand tell you about how these are different from the internships. Listen carefully."
Three students walk in.
"The three third years at U.A. who stand at the top of all U.A. students-- Also known as the Big Three."
Y/N's eyes widen to see the same tall muscular blonde guy with blue oval-shaped eyes who gave her a smile.
"Y-You... Mirio."
"The Big Three..." Izuku gasped, seeing him again.
"The top of all U.A. students..."
"The Big Three..."
"The Big Three!" Mina exclaimed.
"The crown among the splendid U.A. students..." Tenya trailed off.
"The ones closest to pro heroes among us..." Momo voiced.
"I heard that they're the ones we're supposed to be like..." Kyoka added.
Y/N ignored their comments as she stare at Mirio in shock. She turned to other two students who are next to him. The one in the middle is a fair-skinned girl of average height with wide, curious eyes. Her upper eyelashes are long and thick, and her irises are a royal blue. Her hair is periwinkle, and it reaches all the way down to her knees, twisting around itself at her waist and curving inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left.
Next to her is a tall young man with rather pale skin. His ears are longer than most, their tips pointy and somewhat elf-like. He has messy, indigo hair, which sticks out behind his head, and thin, tired-looking eyes, partially covered by his bangs despite the fact that they're supposed to be split as to not impair his vision. His shoulders are usually hunched, and he avoids making eye-contact with people.
"Okay, can you please introduce yourselves briefly?" Aizawa asked, looking at the Big Three. "Let's start with Amajiki."
Tamaki suddenly looked at the class intensely. The rest of the class except Y/N are tensed, not expecting their senpai to give them intensity. Y/N raised her eyebrow in confusion until he spoke.
"It's no good." he mumbled, trembling a little which didn't go unnoticed by Y/N. "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 mind's blank... I can't..."
Tamaki turns around with his back facing them and leans his head on the wall.
"I want to go home...!"
"Huh?!"
"For some reason, I find him cute when he's very shy..." Y/N thought.
"Um, you are the top of U.A.'s hero course, right?" Mashirao questioned.
"Oh, listen Amajiki!" the royal blue haired girl exclaimed with a smile, looking at Amajiki. "That's called having the heart of a flea! Even though you're human! It's so strange!"
She looks at the class, gesturing to Amajiki.
"This is the flea, Tamaki Amajiki. And then, I'm Nejire Hado. We were asked to talk to you guys about work studies. But wait..."
Nejire stands in front of Mezo's desk.
"Hey, hey, why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick?"
"This is because in the past..." Mezo started.
Nejire looked slightly away from him and faced Shoto.
"Oh, my! You must be Todoroki, right? Right? How did you get burned right there?"
"That's..." Shoto trailed off, but Nejire moved quickly to Mina.
"Ashido, if your horn breaks off, will new ones grow in? Can you move them? Well?"
Mina placed a hand on one of her horns, but Nejire moved again.
"Mineta, are those balls of your hair? How do you get a haircut? Asui, you're a tree frog-- not a toad, right? There's so much I want to know about all of you! It's so strange!" she pressured with a carefree smile.
"She's got the natural airhead thing going! It's cute." Denki commented.
"She's like a kindergartener..." Mina added.
"She want to know about my balls? Wait a minute, that sexual harrassment, you know!" Mineta exclaimed.
"That's not what she meant." Hanta sweatdropped.
Y/N wrapped her tail around Mineta's neck to shut him off, causing him to choke.
"Hey, hey, Ojiro, can you support your whole body with your tail?" Nejire asked, looking at Mashirao.
"U-Um..."
"Hey, hey, tell me! I wanna know!"
"Um... I think you should give him some space. Plus, Mr. Aizawa is..." Y/N started, but Nejire already moved to her, making her regret her decision.
"Hey, L/N!" Nejire's eye beamed to see her. "You're that girl Mirio was talking about! What happened to your arms? What's with those burned scars? Were you abused?"
Y/N flinched hearing that.
"Well, I was... but..."
"Go on! Tell me!"
She could feel eyes turned to her. Aizawa took notice of this and glared at Mirio, eyes glowing red and his hair floating as well as his body surrounded by red aura. The blonde guy flinched.
"Isn't this lacking rationality?"
"Don't worry, Eraser Head!" he said, nervously. "I'm going to wrap things up, right?"
Mirio's shine shine, putting a hand behind his ear.
"The future's gonna be...?"
..........
"Gonna be what?"
"Grim! That's what you were s'posed to say, right? Alright, my call-and-response was a huge fail!"
He lets out a loud laugh.
"All three of them are weird." Rikido whispered to Koji. "Even though they're called the Big Three, it's like..."
"You can't feel it in their personalities." Fumikage said.
"Well, you guys look like you're not sure what's going on, right?" the blonde guy questioned, standing where Aizawa was once standing. "We're third years who suddenly appeared to explain about work studies that aren't even required. You guys got your provisional licenses as firs years, right? This year's first years are really... energetic, right? Besides, it looked like my jokes didn't work earlier, right?"
Nejire and Tamaki looked over at the blonde guy.
"Mirio?"
Mirio throws his fist up.
"Why don't you all fight me at once?"
"Wh... What?!"
"Fight you...?"
"It's the most rational to have you all experience our experience firsthand, right? How about it, Eraser Head?"
"Do what you want." Aizawa said.
Y/N looked at Aizawa with wide eyes then to Mirio who looked back at her with a smile.
"Nice seeing you again, Y/N. Show me what you got."
"Y-Yeah..."
"Huh?! You know him, Y/N?!" Mina asked in shock.
"Well, yeah."
"Ehhhhh?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N and her classmates are in the gym with their P.E. clothes on. Mirio who's standing in front of them is stretching his legs. He is also wearing his gym clothes as well as Nejire and Tamaki who still had his head against the wall.
"Um... are you serious?"
"Totally serious!" Mirio said without a second thought.
"Mirio, you probably shouldn't." Y/N heard Tamaki mumble.
"He's so far!" Mineta sweatdropped.
"For the work studies, it would've 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." Tamaki mumbled with everyone listening to his words.
"What does he mean by 'unable to recover'...?" Eijiro asked.
"Oh, listen! Did you know?" Nejire spoke, touching Mina's horns. "In the past there was a student who got so frustrated the student quit being a hero, and that caused all sorts of problems. Did you know? It's tough, isn't it, Togata? If you don't think things through properly, this'll be rough. Really rough."
"Please stop." Mina begged with a blush on her cheeks.
Y/N walked over and tapped Nejire on the shoulder to stop her from touching Mina's horn. Nejire eventually stopped and turned to Y/N much to Mina's relief.
"Does your parents ever taught you about personal space? Because you're making her uncomfortable."
"Oh? Am I? I didn't know!" Nejire giggled. "Sorry!"
Y/N's cheeks was suddenly squished by Nejire's hands.
"You're so cute! No wonder everyone likes you! Even Mirio admit that!"
"Pwease wet go..."
"Please wait." Fumikage called, narrowing his eyes at Mirio. "There's a handicap in place, but we've fought the pros before."
Eijiro steps forward with a proud smile on his face.
"And we've fought with villains before, too. Do we look like such weak small fry that you need to worry about us?"
"Right, you can come at me anytime, from anywhere." Mirio informed, standing tall. "Who's first?"
"I'll...!"
"Here I come!" Izuku exclaimed, cutting off Eijiro.
"Unexpectedly, it's Midoriya?!" Eijiro whined, making Y/N playfully roll her eyes.
"This is a good chance for all of you." Aizawa yelled, cupping his mouth so his words could be heard. "Make sure you get the most out of this experience!"
"Problem child!" Mirio smiled. "That's good! You really are energetic!"
Izuku threw his arms back, stomping his foot forward, and crouching down as green lightning surrounded him, activating his One For All. All classmates got ready, activating their Quirk. Y/N let out an animalistic growl, showing her glowing red eyes.
"The close combat team should surround him all at once!" Rikido suggested.
"Alright!" Eijiro yelled, hardening his arms. "Well then, sir, thanks for showing us this kindness. I look forward to your teaching!"
Izuku launched toward Mirio when suddenly his eyes widen at something in shock as well as Y/N. Mirio's clothes come off of him, causing Kyoka to scream with blushes on her face. Y/N quickly looked away with her eyes closed. She never expect him to be naked at a time like this.
"Your clothes fell off just now!" Hanta yelled.
"Dude! How about covering that thingy situation you got going there?! Jeez!" Y/N yelled.
"Oh, excuse me. The fine-turnings's tricky." Mirio said, putting his pants on.
Izuku is above Mirio and throw a kick towards his face, only it went through. He lands behind him. Y/N glanced in confusion after seeing Mirio wear pants.
"Did he just... faze through Izuku's kick?" she mumbled.
"You went for the face, huh?" Mirio questioned with a smile on his face.
Mina's acid, Hanta's tape, and Yuga's laser phased right through Mirio's face again. Izuku dodged them as the combinations hit the rocks, creating a dust.
"Wait!" Tenya called.
The three stopped using their Quirks.
"He's gone!"
"I'll start with the long-distance fighters!" Mirio exclaimed, going behind Kyoka.
Kyoka turned and screamed, seeing him naked again behind her.
"He warped?" Mezo questioned, turning to Mirio eyes wide.
"His power isn't just slipping through things?" Rikido asked, running towards Mirio.
"What kind of Quirk is that?!" Eijiro asked, running along.
Fumikage used Dark Shadow as he covered him and brought out his claws towards Mirio, but ended getting punched into the gut with Mirio who appeared in front of him from the ground he went through. Mirio then goes after Hanta next, then to Hanta and Mineta. He avoided all attacks from Mina, Yuga, and Tsu that brought out their long distance powers and punched all three in their stomach at the same time he did with Hanta and Mineta. Mirio then took down Momo, Kyoka, Denki, and Mezo. The long distance group are down, holding their stomach.
"Power!" Mirio yelled, putting his pants back on with his arms out in victory.
All that's left is Izuku, Eijiro, Y/N, Ochaco, Tenya, Rikido, Mashirao, Koji, and Shoto. They couldn't believe that their senpai had taken down their classmates in a matter of seconds.
"Mirio Togata..." Aizawa said. "As far as I know, he's the man closest to being number one... including the pros."
"He's got more than half of them in an instant..." Shoto voiced in shock. "He's the man closest to being number one..."
"You're not going? It's not like you aren't interested in being number one, right?" Aizawa asked, looking at Shoto.
"I didn't get my provisional license, so..."
Y/N though heard it and growled.
"Shoto, you coward..."
"That's it for the long-distance fighters." Mirio said, seeing them all down before turning to those in front of him. "All that's left are the ones who focus on close combat, right?"
"I have no idea what he just did!" Eijiro voiced.
"He's strong enough being able to slip through things, but he can even warp?" Ochaco asked.
"Doesn't that make him unrivaled?" Mashirao narrowed his eyes.
"Aw, stop that!" Mirio yelled, lowering his body.
"I think there's some kind of trick here!" Izuku said. "Whether he's applying his 'slipping' power to warp, or applying his warp power to slip through things, he's attacking us directly, so as long as we go for the counter, there should be times when we can touch him! If we can't tell what he's doing, then we should figure out assumptions with what we do know, and do whatever we can to find a way to win!"
"Alright, thanks!" Eijiro said. "Midoriya right after the house arrest is amazing!"
"Works for me, Izuku. Willing to take that chance." Y/N said.
Mirio run towards them.
"Then come and try to figure it out!"
Mirio goes underneath the floor, leaving his pants out again.
"He went under!" Rikido yelled.
Izuku turned, knowing Mirio is behind him and goes to kick him, but his whole foot went through Mirio's hand.
"But here's an ultimate move-- Blinder Touch Eyeball Crush!"
Mirio's finger gets closer to Izuku's eye, but he changed his position and landed a punch to Izuku's stomach. He then goes back to going under.
"Most people try to launch a counterattack like that, right? So then, of course, I'll train to go after those guys!"
"Midoriya!" Tenya exclaimed.
Mirio punched Tenya in the stomach without him noticing then goes to Eijiro to Koji, then to everyone else except for Y/N who's the only left there standing as if he had planned this in the beginning. Y/N watched as all of her friends are on the ground, holding their stomach in pain and groaning.
"All that's left is you, Y/N! The Dinosaur Whisperer. Show me what you've got!" Mirio yelled, running towards her.
Y/N was about to fall back when she remebered her immense training with Dr. Wu when he told her that her senses must be sharp. She couldn't see in the dark, but she managed to dodge all fire arrows that brightened up the dark room. This should be same as not knowing where Mirio had disappeared and she could only see an empty room. After Mirio went under, Y/N closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, calming herself. That's when her senses kicked in when she sensed Mirio under her already as he jumped out behind her. Y/N immediately turned and dodged the attack, rolling away.
"Wow! That was quick! You knew where I was going, huh?" Mirio said, turning to her with a surprised look on his face.
"My senses are sharp."
"I see. Then, can you get through this?" he said, going under again.
Y/N looked around for any sign of him. Just then, Mirio is in front of her with his fist up. She realized he's going to try the same trick he did with Izuku and cartwheeled away, phasing through him in the process. She then went behind him and goes to claw him when he immediately dodged it by moving his head away. He turned to her getting out of the floor. Y/N ignored him being naked and just went on with her fighting as she rapidly tried to claw him off while he rapidly dodged it. Aizawa, Tamaki, Nejire, Shoto, and the rest of her classmates that looked up to see what's happening were surprised that Y/N managed to avoid Mirio's attack. After many attempts, Y/N got to claw him in the cheek leaving some blood scratch mark on it.
"You manage to hit me." Mirio praised.
Y/N only reply with glaring at him and quickly dodge his rapid punches he was sending. After many punches, his fist went straight towards her stomach, making her act quick. Y/N goes to block his punch with her hand when it phased through. Shocked, she was about to move away when his fingers are inches apart from her face and then he flicked her on the forehead. Y/N was send flying and fell to the ground, sliding.
"Power!!" Mirio yelled, holding his thumbs up, crossing his arms over.
"Ow, ow, ow..." Y/N groaned, rubbing her forehead that's going to leave a bruise.
A hand was brought out as soon as she sat up. She looked up to see Mirio who's smiling down at her with his pants on. Y/N reached her hand and grabbed his hand as he helped her up.
"Thanks."
"No problem. Sorry about your head."
"It's fine. Good fight though."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I tried to make it so you wouldn't be able to see my willy, but I'm sorry about that, girls." Mirio apologized, standing with Nejire and Tamaki, who's now wearing his shirt and shoes.
Y/N was lucky to only get hit in the head because Mirio didn't actually want to hurt her. Her classmates except Shoto are not so lucky as they still hold their stomach in pain.
"But anyway, you kind of get it now, right? Did you think my Quirk was strong?"
"It was too strong!" Hanta yelled, waving his arms around.
"That's not fair! Think about me, too!" Toru added.
"You could slip through things and warp!" Mina yelled. "Are you a hybrid like Todoroki?"
"Nope, I've only got one." Mirio informed.
"Just one?"
"I know! I know what his Quirk is!" Nejire exclaimed, turning to Mirio. "Hey, hey, can I say it? Can I? It's Permeation!"
"Hado, it's Mirio's turn right now." Tamaki stated.
"That's right! My Quirk's Permeation. What you guys called a warp was, as you guessed, an application of that. Sorry about that." Mirio said before looking at Nejire who pinch his P.E. clothes with a pout on her lips.
"How exactly do you warp?" Izuku asked.
"If I activate my Quirk, through my entire body, then my body can go through everything. Everything. That means, the ground, too."
"Oh, then that was..." Ochaco said, her eyes widen. "...you falling into the ground?"
"That's right. I fell underground!" Mirio said. "And then, when I release my Quirk while I'm falling, something strange happens. Apparently, things that have mass can't overlap, so I get repelled! In other words, I get repelled to the surface in an instant. That's how my warp works. By changing the angle based on the direction of my body or the pose I'm holding, I can aim for where I get repelled to!"
"Sounds like a buggy game."
Mirio spit laugh.
"You could say that!"
"So you can avoid all attacks and move wherever you like in an instant." Tsu said, placing her finger on her chin. "It really is a very strong Quirk--"
"No, I made it into a strong Quirk." Mirio corrected, causing the others to let out a gasp. "While my Quirk is activated, my lungs can't take in oxygen. Even if I breathe in, it'll just go through, right? In the same way, vibrations go through my eardrums, and light goes through my retinas. I can go through everything. That means I can't feel anything. I just fall even while I have mass. That's all it is. Does that make sense? That's why, if I want to go through a wall, I activate everything but one leg then release in the other leg and land on it, activate my other leg and go through. Even for a simple action like that, there are a bunch of steps involved, right?"
"If it were me, I'd mess that up if I were in a hurry..." Denki said, looking over at Mineta.
"Besides, if I can't feel anything, I wouldn't be able to move." Mineta brought his shaky hand up.
"That's right, as expected, I was always behind. In no time, I'd dropped to dead last. I dropped my clothes, too. In order to get to the top with this Quirk, I couldn't just stay behind."
Mirio starts tapping his head with his forehead with his finger.
"Predictions! I had to think faster than those around me! Sometimes I had to be tricky! Above all, I had to be able to predict what would happen! And what made those predictions possible was experience! I built my predictions on what I knew! It ended up being kind of long, but that's why I wanted to fight you all! I wanted to show you through experience rather than words! In our work studies, we're not guests-- We're treated as one of the sidekicks and as pros! That's really scary."
"Wow." Y/N thought.
"Pros will sometimes end up watching people die." Mirio continued. "But those scary and painful things you'll go through-- All of them are first-rate experiences you wouldn't be able to have at school! I changed the experience I got during my work study into power and took the top spot! That's why I think it's something you should do even if you're scared, first years!"
Everyone starts clapping, impressed with Mirio's speech.
"Even his speech was like a pro's." Mashirao said.
"I can't believe he did all this for us for something he could have explained in a minute." Momo added.
Y/N looks at Mirio in amazement. She was surprised that the Big Three are strong and they are interesting. She's looking forward to hear more about work studies. Mirio smiled to see her impressed.
"We'll be going back now." Aizawa informed, catching everyone's attention. "Say thank you."
"Thank you very much!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N was lying on her bed in her room, reading her Jurassic Park book when all of a sudden she felt somebody's weight of a stare on her. She ignored it and continued her reading, yet it kept bothering her. Y/N felt her instinct kicked in and closed her book, saving her chapter and turned around to find the source that was staring at her. At first, she didn't see anything in her room. Then she finally turned to see her egg. It was hatched. The first thing she saw was a reptilian orange/red eye through the crack in the egg with its three claws sticking out. The eye was filled with curiosity and affection. The hybrid baby dinosaur was staring at her for a long minute as well as Y/N staring back.
"Oh my... God..."
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Y/N? You in here?" the voice called.
Y/N didn't answer and just stare. The door was opened and there stood is Fumikage.
"I wanted to ask about--"
He stopped to see Y/N staring at the hybrid baby dinosaur as it starts to break out of the shell. The skin was dark grey with some yellow stripes. Fumikage's eyes widen as he took a closer look to see it has long sharp claws as it continued to look at Y/N, ignoring Fumikage. Y/N walked towards the baby dinosaur, leaning close to look more as it started to move more. The shell of the egg broke as it now had its head sticking out and tiny arms out. The hatchling is now out, sitting on the bottom of the shell, still looking at Y/N. Silence filled the room until Fumikage spoke.
"Y/N...?"
