4 months have past since I left the hospital, I healed up to be even stronger than before so I used that gain to train even further. Perfecting leaf techniques was difficult as I had trouble with leaf storm but I managed to create it.
Making constructs with leaves was also much more difficult than with the wood I used previously. I still managed to crack the code when I was training so now my costume sometimes boasts a Sacramento leaf coloured cloak like Batman's. I made it just so I could glide~ what don't judge me! I was addicted to the Arkham series in my past life.
Speaking of life my time with Nemuri has been awesome, we spend most of our time together either cooking, sleeping, watching stuff, touring around japan or fucking in whatever way floats her boat. R rated hero doesn't even begin to describe the things she's wanted to do or have done to her.
Next I started training with Yu, we basically became a duo since the sludge villain. She joined my agency as a hero and started training with me. Her quirk allows her to expand her body up to a max of 68 feet.
Most heroes in this world are frugal with their quirk and don't develop them properly. A life of being told that it's awesome or you'll be amazing with it cements the idea that it doesn't need further improvement.
So when she joined me I broke down her quirk to figure out how fast she can grow, can she grow bigger, can she partially grow, can she shrink smaller than her normal size? When I asked her she just fluttered her eyelashes then tilted her head with a "huh?"
Jesus Christo! Now it makes sense, people thought deku was amazing for creating shoot style even though it was just him rediscovering that he has legs. Quirk development my ass! I recalled my memories and the main training for my quirk was producing more wood or making the force behind it stronger.
So once we figured out that by training Yu could improve further she whined that it was hard. I slapped her with my current ranking as the 23rd best hero which motivates her to train. Now she can grow to 76 feet, can expand parts of her body when in her normal form like gear three and she can shrink slightly down to the height of a child.
When she complained about how becoming a loli was useless I had to explain to her some key things. "Yu! Shrinking down to this height means you can sneak around a villains base much easier than you used to, not to mention if you show off loli powers you'll get more fans". That was she needed to hear. Though she reverted once I started stealth training with her, scaling a wall with only your bare hands isn't hard! Your just not strong enough.
I also managed to swing around to Dagoba beach, the land fill is decreasing and there was a skeletal blonde guy hanging around there. So either Deku has the quirk or he chose someone better..... like Melissa! I'm still confused on how he never chose her. A genius who has international connections and tech that could beat most villains trumps the super soaker Midoriya with his mutant tear ducks in my opinion.
Sigh~ oh well it's not my problem if the rabbit he man wants to fuck up his life. I went back to training myself, besides my leaf stuff I tried making stronger wood and incorporating poisons into it. The wood gains a purple sheen when I'm using poison, I make contact with the wood on an enemy and the effects of whatever I used begin taking effect.
So I just club people and effect them with status effects, it's like I'm an RPG character! Still no progress on deep forest emergence yet but I'll get there.
Well that's enough talking about powers and stuff let's talk about what else I've been doing. Three things I love about this new life are the power, the women and then the world. Nemuri takes me all across Japan for dates with ease because of their improved train system.
Quirks caused engineering to have to step up to accommodate the populace meaning the quality of life improved. Transportation is faster, homes are more accommodating, food had vastly improved due to quirks that improve crops and the internet has become even more connected to ones life than it did in my world.
I think technopaths and intelligence quirks are the main cause of this. You ever see those videos online where it's like "cool things I found about japan" and it would have some vlogger going into a store and buying a random product which seems way better than your version back home.
That's how I feel every day!!! I bought a bottle of coke and it had a tab to pull on the label. When I pulled it an image of a hero appears, the label then constrains the lid of the bottle and opens it for you! Imagine being awed by a bottle of soda!
Nemuri seems to like when my eyes shine at something that I think is cool. I talked to her about shinji's past with the gang that wanted him to mass produce weed which explained a lack of luxury in my life. In response she spoiled me with thigh pillows!
Recreational drugs have also become much more diverse in this world. Basically anything can be approved if it's quirk related which just shows how bullshit this society is, but hey I'm making a fortune of it and I know it will collapse so I just have to grit my teeth.
Stuff like marijuana is legalised but the strength of the strain is the issue. Basically the stuff I was making as a teen was strong enough to kill a veteran smoker in my old world but in this one you'd need at least a durability quirk to take a few puffs.
Why am I speaking about drugs? Let me tell you about when I took shrooms~.
So basically I had to go out on patrol solo, Nightlife was going on a date and Yu went to a wedding. I laughed when I learned she took death arms as her plus one, she complained about him being a small dicked one pump chump when she returned. Those muscles must be compensating then~ she wanted me to go with her but she's scared Nemuri would capture her and out her through a bondage course.
I mean she might, she would try and break my dick using her hips if she learned I went with Yu without permission. I'm getting off topic, so I went out on patrol and it was cold so I dawned my grass cloak. It gives excellent heat retention as well as camouflage.
Jumping from roof top to roof top I gradually made my way to the bad part of town. No matter the society there will always be a poverty related district. This place allows non related villain crimes to fester so mainly the cops and underground heroes stick to it.
As I was parkouring my way through I heard an explosion followed by gun shots. I moved in to do my job only to find a minor gang war. There was some bald prick with gold teeth holding an RPG firing at some shaggy guy dressed in a purple fur robe.
A quick analysis of the situation led me to find that the bald guy had a girl in the trunk of his car. The purple bath robe guy wanted the girl for something. They began screaming at each other
"Give Me the girl Hanzo! She'll be a major boon for our business Ha!Ha!Ha!"
"Grr fuck you Mitarashi! Take this!" And then would fire a rocket at wherever the voice occupied before. Their goons were using other cars as cover to try and take out the other goons completely ignoring the leaders.
When the last rocket blew up near the car with the girl the trunk opened and she slipped out. My eyes widened as I recognised the girl, it was Kinoko Kimori! Then all the info came together in my head. Someone must have leaked about a girl with a mushroom based quirk then these assholes wanted to use her to up their production rate or improve their product. She was just like Shinji, just like me!
So without hesitation I dropped down from my vantage point and swung into the cannon fodder with the biggest guns. I hit them hard causing cracks and screams to shout out into the night. The other bad guys just assumed one of theirs got shot or hit with debris.
My figure was obscured by the flames of the wreckages. But the girl managed to spot me through the blaze manoeuvring around beating the thugs.
My fist would slam into a solar plexus or someone jaw, I would kick someone in the temple, use my quirk to yank their guns out of their hands, swing my cloak to blind someone then snow them in the jaw.
Soon I'd made my through the fire fight towards the bald guy, he ran out of ammo. When he noticed a lack of shots compared to before he turned and saw me barrelling towards him.
He squealed in panic noticing a hero decked out in dark clothing like I was. My grey ashy wood was wrapped around a dark green cloak that was smothered in flames. Another trick I made to prevent myself from burning, slathering the leaves in the fire retardant solution then using them like a fire blanket.
When I reached the bald guy named hanzo I hoisted him into the air with one arm displaying my impressive strength. While he was trembling with fear I bashed his gold plated teeth in then slammed him into the roof of a car.
I turned towards the other gang leader named Mitarashi who was trembling. He growled before pulling the girl which he made his way towards in the wreckage. He put a gun to her head and demanded "Don't move Hero! If you do I'll blow her brains all over the street!"
I turned towards him and walked forwards slowly, the flames parting before me as I moved further cementing my fearful visage in the bad guys mind. The girl kinoko was staring at me wide eyed as he screamed for me to stop moving.
I stopped right at the edge of fire, my image was like I was standing at the gates of hell to drag him down. This was around the time that the cops finally arrived. They pointed their guns at Mitarashi but he was focused on me.
The cops has no idea what to do in a hostage situation like this. The criminal was trembling in terror so he had a twitchy finger over the gun. I just stared at him while he rambled "I'll do it! I swear to kami-sama! You'll regret crossing me! Don't you move or I'll really do it!"
He kept rambling and repeating himself whilst slowly trudging backwords. When I noticed a little hope flash through his eyes I blasted off from my current position. The flames left my cloak due the speed I moved at. In a blink I was infront if the guy, I snatched the gun from his hand and slammed my palm into his chest making him roll backwards screaming in pain.
The girl looked at me awestruck whilst the cops smiled. I looked down at him "no... you won't!" Was all I said before I dismantled the gun before his eyes.
The cops came and apprehended them whilst an ambulance arrived to pick up the thugs and the girl. When she was being patched up she broke down for the officer that interviewed her. So I came over and sat beside her, I noticed her trembling so I took off the green cloak and wrapped it around her.
Her quirk would prevent any poison from affecting her, she uses poisonous mushrooms after all so she would have a resistance. When she looked at me I eye smiled at her to make her less anxious.
"You were very brave tonight"
"I don't feel brave, i feel stupid for being caught and used like that. A boy from my class bragged to his thug friends after I mocked him which led to this."
"Your not stupid, you handled this a lot better than I did."
She looked at me questionably "what do you mean mister Kamui."
I shrugged my shoulders "a lot of people don't know this but I was actually in a similar situation to you in my younger years. My quirk fan grow trees and some plants. So a gang wanted me to grow their marijuana. A hero rescued me and put me on the straight and narrow which made me into the man I am today."
She looked at me slack jawed "you went from being a victim to a hero?! Coul- could I be like you?" She asked in a hushed voice so I patted head.
"Anyone could be a hero, all they have to do is help where they can. I take it you wanted to be a hero?"
She nodded so I continued "well then, I think you'll be amazing once you enter whatever school you want. If you want I can intern you at my agency once you reach that level"
She nodded vehemently and I watched determination bloom in her eyes. Who knows, maybe she'll try and harder and become a member of 1-A. Actually probably not, that class is for problem kids after all. Ones with horrible personalities, a weird background or with shit quirk control.
After that night I started patrolling the poverty area a lot more, crime rate in that area dropped drastically as a result. So that was the story off how I took shrooms... away from criminals. Lol did you think I was gonna get high or something. I can make my own weed, not that I'd use it much.
