Time Skip (2 years)
Today we're having a practical exam with the Pussycats. The participants involved are Pixiebob, Mandalay, Tiger, Ragdoll, Takao, Jiro, Me, and Toga. There should probably be some explanation on what happened to have Toga with us today.
(Flashback)
After the mall incident Toga kept hanging with our group. She definitely had a crush on me and one day after I got cut during training, she had her eyes fixated on my blood. I went over to her and offered it to her again, saying, "When you're around us, you don't have to hide who you are." That seemed to finally push her and she bit down on my right arm sucking my wound. "No teeth," I bop her on the head. She doesn't listen and keeps biting and sucking. 'Ehh, whatever. I still don't know her backstory but it seems she needs this.' Eventually she doesn't stop sucking and I can feel a bit of lightheadedness. "Okay, that's enough," I'm forced to pry her head off my arm but she doesn't seem to be pleased at that. "More," she seems pouty and has a bit of the crazy eyes. "No, maybe later," I stand firm on my answer.
She looks at me with 'them eyes' and pulls out a fucking knife. 'Where fuck did that come from? She's in a skirt!' "I want more!" she lunges at me with the knife set for my right shoulder blade. I see her simple action and promptly side step and aim to grab the wrist and elbow. Her being inexperienced, this works and I successfully put her into the ground with my knee on her back, my left hand on her left hand forcing it behind her back, and my right hand disarming the knife from her right. 'That was kind of expected actually,' but still she has more ability than I was expecting. She at least tried to stop her forward momentum by stamping her front foot down when she saw her attack was going to fail. But this isn't the time for critique.
The others that watched our exchange were very confused at the beginning with Toga sucking my blood. But after she wouldn't stop and tried to attack me they were already surrounding us. "Toga, as a friend I won't hold this against you because I care, but don't try something like this again," I say trying to be supportive but at the same time setting a boundary on her blood fanaticism She seems mad and still has the eyes. 'I don't know how to deal with kids, but I'll put a hard boundary on this behaviour and hope for the best.' I slowly increase the gravity in a 5 foot radius around me, the others around us can feel it. "Toga, I don't like this behavior. I understand you like blood and that's not a bad thing. But this is not the way to go about getting it. I'm willing to give you blood but I get to decide when to stop. If you can't accept this then you can't have any more blood and we can't be friends." At the beginning of my talk she seemed scared under the pressure. But after I talked some relief cam over her face and some disappointment too; whether at me or at herself, I'm unsure. She took a minute to think about what I said and nodded her head in agreement.
I let go of the aura and help Toga up, "good, *smile* I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'll have more blood in an hour or 2." She nods and after the fact she seems a little embarrassed. "What was that," Takao is always the one to act first and asks the obvious. "That's a good question, I just know she likes blood. Toga, why do you like blood?" I look at Toga, I know her quirk requires her to eat someone's blood to work, but I don't actually know why she loves blood so much. "I don't know, it's just pretty and tastes nice," she rubs her arm and looks down at the ground. "Is it your quirk? What's your quirk," I ask.
She looks up at me and has an unsure face, "I don't know my quirk, but I can feel it now." "Go ahead and try it out, I'm curious," she seems unsure and runs behind a tree. A few seconds later, an exact look alike of me, even in the same clothes, comes out. "That's sooo cool!" I walk over to me and start checking myself out. The others seem a little uncomfortable with the quirk but they don't voice it. "I do have a nice butt," I say to lighten the mood. The others seem to appreciate that. "How do you feel?" "I feel nice, I've never used my quirk before," she seems to check out the new body, she touches my butt. "AYY, hand off the merchandise, that's for VIP's only." She gets embarrassed and retracts her hand from the sacred treasure.
After that we continue to talk about her quirk and she starts doing a great impression of me. We even do a little skit for the group, we're the bandit twins. After seeing that Toga is not crazy, the group seems to warm up to the Idea of her quirk. "I got a cut, but you gotta stop when I say," Takao offers his bloody fist. 'Bro, Takao is a brother. He's so similar to Cole, it's uncanny, chill, fun, and easygoing. I fucking love this guy.' Toga accepts and tries to hold back, sucking slowly looking to savor the flavor. Takao says to stop and she stops, she thanks him and goes behind the tree coming out again as Takao. This goes on, Jiro being the next to offer a little blood and everyone tries to have fun with Toga's new quirk. A good day.
(Back to the Present)
The practical exam the Pussycats have come up with is a wilderness survival battle royale. Being most of us only 10 years old, the rules are manageable. It's Saturday morning and the tournament will last until Sunday evening, or until the last person stands. We'll stay inside a 15km area walled off by Pixiebob. If you're hungry you have to find your own food, which shouldn't be too difficult because we've all been trained in wilderness survival with the Pussycats. To make someone get out, you have to make them say, "uncle," effectively restrain them, or get them unconscious.
Everyone gets into a spot marked with an orange marker evenly spaced around the wall. After an hour passes, a door sized opening appears in the wall and I walk through. Although the forest is the same inside as it is out, it still feels a bit foreboding with the presence of the wall. I walk deeper into the forest and after some time I finally sit down in a cross-legged position. I get comfortable and focus on my breathing.
During this time, I should explain how my quirk has progressed. I won't go into their power consumption, but right now the abilities I can use are as follows. Create/Delete Space, Remote Teleportation, Long Distance Teleportation, Space Bullet, Space Cut, Portals, Gravity Manipulation, Velocity Manipulation, Force Manipulation, Black Hole Creation, White Hole Creation. I already had these abilities 4 years ago, but all of them have gotten stronger. An example would be, I can now Long Distance Teleport up to 5km.
As for the new powers I've gained. Swap Teleport, switch coordinates with a person or object; Spatial Storage, I'm able to create a mini pocket dimension where I can store things or increase the holding space of objects; Enhanced Reflexes/Senses/Strength, because of my training and the energy coursing through me, I know have enhanced physical capabilities; and Matter Manipulation, I can change the shape, weight, height, and other properties of matter to some extent. I can already tell my quirk is going to be Overpowered. I highly doubt I've come anywhere close to harnessing the full capabilities of my quirk. As for why I'm sitting down like this with my eyes closed in the middle of a battle, this is another one of my abilities.
Conscious/Unconscious Spatial Awareness. I've grown to have an unconscious spatial awareness that covers a radius of 3 feet away from me. Anything inside the radius, I can see and feel. Conscious awareness covers a radius of 30 feet with 1% energy consumption per minute, if done while meditating however, this costs nothing because the extra energy I draw in through the focusing of my breathing cancels out the cost.
Mandalay comes over the loudspeakers and announces the beginning of the exam. I focus on my awareness and breath. 'I wonder if I'll win?'
