Chapter 14 - Bullying

Like this another week passed by and in this week somehow everybody of the orphanage found out that he doesn't have a quirk or in a sense he is quirkless. This caused many people to look at him in scorn or many started laughing at him.

Kenshin looked exactly like his past life, shiny black hairs, deep black eyes, and very handsome facial features. Many children of the same age previously looked at him in envy as he was the most handsome of them and the worker ladies and Miss Yuuto used to dote him more compared to them.

But now that they found that Kenshin is quirkless, they didn't let the chance go and started bullying him. They started to tease him every time but Kenshin just ignored them as he couldn't bother himself at their level.

Many worker ladies who were previously doting him now looked at him with a look of pity and some even started to laugh at him as some of them have children but none of them was as adorable as Kenshin. But many a time Miss Yuuto would come and reprimand the worker ladies or the children.

Like this time went on and Kenshin was now 5 years old and it was now time for them to start their schooling. In this year many things happened as Kenshin built up a perfect foundation for himself and now can start practicing martial arts (building a foundation means training the body so it can handle the burden of practicing martial arts. As if the muscles are not developed perfectly then they might tear or joint might twist which is problematic).

Bullying also increased for Kenshin but he just ignored them(the bullies) which caused them to be angrier. Another thing what happened this year was people began to gather in different groups and those with strong quirk were like the leaders and others were servile towards them(the leader of the group with strong quirks).

Kenshin was amazed by the way the human mind works as he looked at the formation of different groups and some people who were only 4-5 years old but were servile towards others with stronger quirk.

This year, an incident happened which stopped his bullying and people became scared of him. On a certain day, he was training in the evening as he does every day. But that day 2 groups of children with their leaders came and started bullying him.

When they saw Kenshin ignored them as usual, the leaders who had inflated ego by all the flattery got angry and started to use their quirk to attack Kenshin.

"Oye pretty boy, who do you think yourself to ignore me when I am talking to you", said Kazuma who has a 3x strength amplification quirk.

"Boy you have got guts to ignore a genius like me", said Narita who has a black flame quirk. (Black flame quirk- though is a lot weaker than Todoroki's flame but has corrosion effect to it which id trained can be deadly)

After saying that Kazuma and Narita dashed towards Kenshin while their lackeys just made a circle to not let the pretty boy escape and complain about them.

Kenshin looked at the two idiots rushing towards him and muttered "idiots". He said in a tone that was audible to everybody present here. Kazuma and Narita got angry and used their quirk. Kazuma's body buffed up and his speed also increased somewhat. Narita's hand flowed with black colored flames.

Kazuma reached near Kenshin and punched him in the face while an evil smile crept his face as he thought he messed with the face of the pretty boy. But then he felt like he has hit the air, he quickly retracted his body but he has just retracted his body when he felt pain in his abdomen. He knelt and cried in pain.

Narita thought that Kazuma was just weak or Kenshin just got lucky, so he still punched Kenshin with his quirk. Similar to what happened to Kazuma, Narita found himself kneeling with a pain in his abdomen before he could figure out what was happening.

Both of them were not the only ones who don't what happened and there were many children who were surrounding Kenshin also didn't know what happened. There were only a few who were able to watch what happened. When Kazuma and Narita punched at Kenshin, he dodged to the side and moved to both of their blind spots and then punched their abdomen.

After that Kenshin beat up every child in these two groups before going back to the dorm. Though Kenshin has not started his martial arts training, he still has years of experience so beating these few kids was not a big deal for him.

Many children started to call demon and what not and many children also guessed that Kenshin might have awakened their quirk. That day in the night Miss Yuuto called Kenshin to his office.

"Do you beat up those kids?", said Miss Yuuto curiously.

"Yes Ma'am, they were bullying me and I ignored them but they still tried to beat me so I got angry and beat all of them", said Kenshin with a calm face.

"Did you awaken you quirk", said Miss Yuuto.

"No, In these few months I have been only training to improve my strength as possible so I can fend off bullies like them. So my training paid off", said Kenshin.

"Okay now go to sleep but take care, those with quirk will become stronger than you in the future, so be sure to learn to handle them properly", said Miss Yuuto.

Kenshin wanted to say something but decided not to and went to sleep as he would have to wake up early in the morning for training.

Now coming back to the present, it was time for Kenshin and children of similar age to go to school. A few days later Kenshin and children went to a public school nearby. Kenshin looked around to search if any known character is going to school with him but didn't find anyone.

Kenshin was slightly disappointed as he wanted to meet them early on and if possible he wanted to meet Midoriya to motivate him a bit more. He knew from what he has experienced that Midoriya's bullying must be a bit harsher as he is very cowardly and not as strong as Kenshin.

Like this life went on and Kenshin was now 11 years old and will start his middle school a few months later. In these few years, Kenshin was bullied but he just ignored them as usual. Many bullies learned a lesson as not to fight with Kenshin even though he is quirkless.

Many tried to fight with Kenshin using their quirk but Kenshin quickly beat them up. In these years Kenshin closely saw many different kinds of quirks and it was a completely different kind of experience for him. He was completely interested in the power called quirk.

In these 6 years of elementary school, many teachers were happy with students as he scored full in every exam and spends most of his school time studying. Teachers were happy also because, in the age of quirks, there are very few who take studying seriously as most of them just think they will be heroes and what is the need to study.

But teachers who were once at this phase knew that if they didn't have a powerful quirk then they will never be able to become a hero and even if they become, they will be a very bad hero with poor results. So even if Kenshin didn't have a quirk, they were still happy for him as with his knowledge he will definitely be able to become either a scientist or a powerful figure.

In these 6 years, Kenshin's martial arts also improved leaps and bounds and he recently broke through Grand Master Level. And for further increase his level he can either do it normally by just training for another few years or he needs external stimulant like body weights, more nutritious food in larger quantities. But this was not possible for him since he was in an orphanage and they cannot specifically help him. So he needs to search for a source of income.
