Chereads / my hero academia: reincarnated as Rimuru ("very original") / Chapter 47 - An idiot among geniuses - I-Expo Part 1

Chapter 47 - An idiot among geniuses - I-Expo Part 1

A/N: after rewatching the MHA movie and then the 3rd season, I realized I f*cked up the timeline, oh well I guess this is an AU (Alternate Universe) now

_______________________________________________________

"Who knew private planes were this comfy" I relaxed on the high-quality leather seat while staring out the window. The private plane taking me to I-Island has just departed from the airport. The only thing I disliked was needing to wake up at 3 am to not miss the flight

[We are now departing from Haneda airport, please tighten your seatbelts and have a wonderful flight] 

Looking at the nightly sky I felt strangely liberated. I have about 2 days of rest before Wolfram decides to attack. Of course, I shouldn't trust my knowledge of the future anymore but it's better to anticipate than silently panic.

"You are Rimuru correct? I am your personal flight attendant, would you like a soft drink?" A flight attendant exited the pilot's cabin and went straight towards me, her professional smile could rival salesmen.

"Do you have any snacks?" I wasn't feeling very hungry, now that my physique transcended humans I could probably go for a week without feeling hungry.

*Ding*

Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, my mom. as merciful as she was, let me bring my phone to I-Island! I wiped the imaginary tears from my eyes and turned on my phone

[From Jiro: Hey I heard u got a flight to I-Island]

[Sent: Rimuru_Tempest445: Ye, I got VIP treatment and all. Image69.jpg]

Taking a selfie inside the private plane I quickly sent it to Jiro, it isn't every day you get to take a private plane anywhere really. I still have economy seat pain ingrained in my buttocks.

I felt slightly drowsy so I leaned into my seat, enjoying the scenery of Japan's port cities.

************************************

"Um- A- All Might, Are you s-sure it's okay for me to-to come with you?" Midoriya stuttered heavily as he tensely sat on the plane seat, he was wearing casual clothing seemingly out of place as All Might was in full costume in front of him.

"Don't worry Midoriya-Shounen, The ticket had a +1 to anyone you invite! And I invited you" All Might laughed as the flight attendant gave him an alcohol-free champagne, as soon as the flight attendant left (After getting an autograph) All Might deflated into his skinny form.

"*cough**cough* Don't worry, we aren't coming to the I-Expo for nothing, I'm actually meeting an old friend" As soon as All Might uttered the last part Midoriya's ears perked up.

"A friend of All Might? He must be important!" Midoriya's eyes shined like stars making All Might feel slightly awkward

"haha, I used to work with him when I just started working as a hero" All Might began to reminisce, Midoriya on the other hand was writing every word All Might muttered word for word. 

*[Insert flashback moment here]*

"Haha, it was truly a time" All Might chuckled as he remembered his naivety, soon he relaxed onto his chair, without them noticing it was already a few hours into their flight. looking at the blue ocean and light blue sky it was truly mesmerizing.

"um, say All Might-sensei... Are we going to meet anyone from our class at the I-expo?" Midoriya asked with curiosity.

"Well many people are going to attend the I-Expo, but I believe Rimuru got early access due to him coming 1st place at the sports festival" All Might rubbed his chin as he began thinking.

"Yaoyorozu-shounen's father is an investor so she might come... Todoroki-shounen would most likely come in place of Endeavor... Iida-shounen might come representing the IIda family" The more names All Might mentioned the more Midoriya tensed up

"What if they find out I came with All Might? My secret might be found out! I better-"

[We have arrived at the I-Island landing strip, please tighten your seatbelts and prepare for landing]

Midoriya's thoughts were interrupted by the intercom as a slight turbulence disturbed their little chat.

"Well, we are almost there haha" All Might laughed slightly as he began inflating back to his muscle form, the small amount of sweat on his forehead showed his struggle.

"Are you alright All Might-sensei?!?" 

"Don't worry Midoriya-Shounen, as long as I don't have to fight I won't suddenly deflate haha"

**************************************

[We have arrived at the I-Island landing strip, please tighten your seatbelts and prepare for landing]

"zzzZZZ huh? oh were there" Rimuru was woken up by the intercom as well, looking out the window it was already dawn when the plane arrived at I-Island

[Good morning Rimuru]

'eh? Raphael, what's the occasion?' It was surprising for Raphael to pop out of nowhere, nevertheless, she is a surprise but a welcome one.

[I've finished analyzing the quirks from those two villains]

'OOo power-up time!' I sat excitedly in my seat waiting for her voice to continue

[Compression(quirk) -> [Beelzbub(Almost Unsealed)]

[[Beelzbub] has been fully unsealed!]

[Sub-skills unsealed [Mimicry], [Magicule recycler]]

(A/N: A part of the [Isolation] sub-skill is to turn useless stuff into magicules but I am separating that part into a new skill)

[Muscle Fiber manipulation (Quirk) -> [Universal Thread],[Regenerative superhuman Physique]]

[[Regenerative superhuman Physique] -> [Perfect Body (Human)]]

"Wow, that's a lot" I stared at the alerts Raphael gave me. At this point, I have almost every skill Rimuru had in the anime, the only skills that are missing are the immunities, Uriel, and Veldora.

'Now that I think about... Isn't Veldora basically a Storm manipulation quirk?' I was suddenly reminded of one of the antagonists in the MHA universe

'his name was NINE right? if I absorb his Storm manipulation could I unseal Veldora?' A predatory grin spread across my face as I remembered another fact

'Didn't NINE have a small piece of AFO?' Opening my 'To do list' I added absorbing NINE, he was basically a 'absorb one get 7 plus' deal with quirks

Snapping out of my thoughts I stood up and prepared to enter I-Island

************************************

"Luggage? Check, Ticket and Passport? Check... I think that's it" I dusted my shirt before entering the entrance to I-Island.

As soon I took a step inside the floor began carrying me like a conveyor belt, I slowly made my way through multiple scanners. Feeling sufficiently violated I finally exited the security checks and found myself in a beautiful mall-like building.

"Wow this place is impressive" I stared at the surroundings, the floor was made of marble and almost every wall was occupied by a store containing nifty gadgets and doodads.

Now with [Perfect Body] my entire being was optimized to its limits, but even with my perfect vision I could find any dirty spot.

"They really went all out, now where is the hotel I'm supposed to stay at?" I began making my way through the building, following the 'EXIT' signs. I arrived at the plaza.

"Welcome to I-Island! The Island dedicated to Science! would you like me to guide you around?" A beautiful lady dressed in professional clothes approached me, by looking at the tag around her neck I could tell she was a tour guide.

"uh, no thanks. But could you please show me where the hotel is at?" I respectfully declined, I wasn't looking for a tour but to rest for a few more hours. Seeing her offer rejected the lady's smile still stayed strong.

"No problem, The hotel is that way" The tour guide pointed at a tall tower and without wasting any moment I went that way.

..........................

"The hell? Am I lost? Wasn't it just that way?" I narrowed my eyes as I stood in an alleyway, looking up I could still see the tall tower, but for some reason whenever I walked in its direction I seemed to only get further away.

"Let's just try this again" I walked straight forward, turned left, then right. I seem to be getting closer, good. Now just straight!

"Huh? What the f*ck" How did I pass by it?!? I stared at the tall tower that was now behind me.

Straight, right, left, right, straight, left.

"Are you kidding me" I furrowed my brows while staring at a sign in front of me

[Thank you for visiting I-Island! EXIT]

I turned around again and saw the cursed tall tower. 

"If I'm not getting to the hotel... Might as well enjoy myself" I sighed looking at all the attractions I completely ignored, Quirk races, strengths test, and more.

......................

"Welcome to the strenth tester! Only those with REAL strenth can win this one!" A loud announcer spoke into the microphone, behind him was a weird machine that seemed like a gigantic hydraulic press.

"Anyone here with a strength quirk?" As soon as the announcer asked some in the crowd cheered.

"Alright, who wants to go first? The rules are simple! Resist the push of this piston! The longer you hold out the stronger it becomes, unless your All Might I doubt you can surpass the last level!" The announcer's voice ignited the competitiveness in the crowd, waiting a few moments for people to raise their hands the announcer picked at random.

"Alright! You with the blue hair! Come up here" 

As soon as the person the announcer picked went up to the stage small chuckles sounded, the blue-haired 'kid' could be seen as anything but strong.

"Alright let's begin!" as soon as the contender went into place the announcer clicked on his remote activating the machine, and the piston slowly pushed forward.

.........................

Placing my hands forward in front of the human-sized piston I was kind of disappointed, I barely felt any pushing against me.

'Is this for toddlers?' I turned my gaze to the announcer who was slightly surprised that I was holding out, I inwardly sneered before pushing my hands with force making the piston's arm bounce back. The crowd suddenly went silent, their chuckles were completely muted by the unexpected scene

"Oh ho! Looks like our contender is stronger than we expected! Let's raise it up a notch! let's continue with 500K" The announcer's voice interrupted the silence as the piston roared with double the power, small cheering could be heard.

'Really that's it?' I was once again disappointed, bearly flexing my arms as the piston tried pushing with all its might.

"A-Alright then let's move onto 1TON" The announcer stuttered while quickly clicking on the remote control, unfortunately, the small blue-haired Femboy wasn't moving at all.

"2 TONS!"

...

"5 TONS"

...

"10 TONS"

...

"2-20 T-Tons" Beads of sweat fell down the announcer's forehead as he looked at the dwindling number of buttons on the remote.

"50 TONS!"

....

"100!" Soon the number of cheers began climbing, and at some point, the entire crowd was cheering for Rimuru to win the test.

"200 TONS! Everybody do you think he'll do it? WILL HE WIN?" 

"GO BLUEY GO"

'Are they kidding me?' I felt cringe as the crowd kept cheering me as 'Bluey' I felt like actually winning would be a bother... I mean I'm supposed to be an emitter, not a strenth type quirk...

"I give up" I raised my hands in the air as the piston soon retracted, followed by my words was the sounds of 'awww' 'ouuu' as the crowd felt disappointed.

"Congratulations Bluey on getting into the leaderboard! Would you like to submit your name to show the world your might?" 

'Leaderboard?' I suddenly spotted a board filled with names as well as weight, seeing All Might at 8K Tons I wasn't very surprised

"Sure how do I do that?" I asked the announcer

"You can use the app! The same one you use for the map function" The announcer patted me on the shoulder as if I understood his words

'There's an app?' I pulled out my phone where an alert was blaring on the screen

[Welcome to I-Island! Would you like to download the app? you can access the map, registration, and many more functions]

.....

....

'I am an idiot' I face palmed so hard creating a harsh shockwave around me.
