Chapter 2: Welcome to the World of MHA
Waking up felt surprisingly pleasant. I was expecting to feel nauseous, dizzy, or like I was hit by a truck like my fellow isekai'd MC's were. But instead, I felt full of energy, kind of brimming with life, and everything looked extremely vibrant with a serene grace blessing the air.
While in a daze as I got used to my surroundings, I got out of (what I was assuming to be) my bed, and walked over to a vanity mirror inside a surprisingly big bedroom.
I wasn't consciously heading there, it was more like the instinct of this body moving out of habit. As I glanced at the mirror, I stared for a few seconds, gawking at the exact replica of my younger self. And it finally clicked in my brain at what I was looking at.
"Those two basta-"
**********
It took me two whole days to finally wrap my head around everything. Including separating my memories of this life, and my previous ones.
First off, those oh so gracious 'beings', transported me as my 13 year old self. I honestly should have asked, but I just assumed reincarnated meant I would start as a baby, but evidently not.
So there goes my plan of training my quirk to become hella' strong by the time the plot starts. And now I only had around 2 years to train my quirk to keep up with the powerhouses I would eventually meet.
Ughh, and on a quick side note, even if it's a minor inconvenience, it was one of my biggest issues… I still had my curly hair. I didn't care how it happened, but I was praying to god to not have it.
Because all curly haired people would agree, it takes a hell of a lot of maintenance to keep it in check. I won't argue that it looks good when well maintained, but dang was it a struggle to manage. Even in my previous life, I never knew how to properly style it. I sort of just ruffled it til' it looked fine.
But back to the serious business, the world of MHA was the same from what I remember. But what the anime could never show, was how LOUD everything was.
There was almost always some sort of chaos going on in the background, whether it was some criminal on the run, the heroes running to catch up, or just random workers using their quirk for construction or the like.
But I guess that's just what comes with the world where almost everyone and their mom basically has a superpower.
My family was currently living in the same city in America as we did previously. But there was one huge, but pleasant, difference. My family was-
*chefs kiss*
loaded.
Not as rich as Yaoyorozu's family, but hey, rich was rich. I wasn't complaining.
In this life, my parents owned a Supplying company called 'Hero's Reserve', a respectable business that never failed to aid multiple hero agencies with whatever they needed. From equipment and training rooms, to even nutritional diet meals/plans.
Thanks to the nature of their job, they were pretty well connected with heroes in America, and even some abroad.
Though I don't know if they've ever met the 'New Order' lady in America that looks like All Might. What was her name again? It was something super patriotic.
Uhhhhh… Oh yeah, 'Star and stripes'. Pretty lame name if you ask me, but I'm not really patriotic myself, so it probably doesn't hit the same for me.
Which brings me to my knowledge of this world. It seems like I remember mostly everything that I had seen from the anime.
I know the general surface level info of the world, like how society developed, what quirks are, as well as multiple people in my mind and what they're quirks and personalities are like.
The main thing I remembered was All Might giving One for All to Midoriya, his rivalry with All for One, and that U.A. is where the fun stuff (with terrorism on the side) goes down.
There were obvious gaps in my memory, but who would have thought I needed to refresh my knowledge of this world before I was sent here?
The last thing I remember watching was the start of the Paramount liberation War arc. They had just begun to prepare for it. Hopefully though, with my interference, the war won't happen in the first place.
Now onto my family. In this life, practically the exact same things happened. I was adopted by the Rykers once they found out Ms. Rankin was abusing the orphans. Except this time, I was saved when I was 8 years old. Also, the caretaker was an ex-hero that was planning to sell us to some shady experimenters, which angered my father even more.
My dad looked the same as his past self, just more muscular, with a quirk that allowed him to transform into a monstrous oni.
With it, he grew to an 8 foot stature, with blood red skin that barely contained his muscles, and pure white hair. (Pic here).
He was a well-known pro hero, but retired when he had kids because of his worry of leaving his family heartbroken if an accident were to ever occur. But when he was still working as a hero, he was the one who personally saved me from the orphanage. However this time, due to the quirk of Ms. Rankin, she ended up escaping from the heroes, and was still on the run even now.
But unlike my dads temporary physical quirk, my mom was visibly different, and had two silver horns on each side of her head. They were propped up on her golden field of hair.
Her quirk let her create and control water, but not on a large scale, so it wasn't exactly useful in combat.
However, her horns and quirk were split up, and ended up getting passed on to my younger sisters separately. Hana was able to create water using her single left horn, and Yuna was able to manipulate water using her single right horn.
And let me tell you, their quirk was a LOT stronger than my mom's. Honestly, it was as if I was watching two water benders from 'Avatar the last airbender'. I had no doubt they could easily be formidable pro heroes in the future if they ever wanted to.
Buuuut… not to toot my own horn, I would argue none of them could overshadow my quirk in any aspect. Okay, maybe my dads looked cooler, or maybe my sisters could learn to blood bend, but that's not the point.
On a quick side note, my original body was unfortunately born quirkless in this world, so I didn't get to have 2 quirks in 1 body. But that's just me being greedy.
The quirk I got from the 'beings', didn't even need 5 minutes after I first woke up in this world to start causing a commotion…
***
*Start of flashback* (2 days earlier)
After cursing the two 'beings' and realizing I was reincarnated into my 13 year old body which screwed over so many of my plans, I decided to push that to the back of my mind for now. At this moment, I had to see how my family were doing.
I casually reached for the door handle and yanked it out of habit (that any modern human would develop) before—
*BAM!*
I looked down only to notice that I held a crushed door handle. Let me rephrase that. A door handle that was torn from its door frame. A door that was ripped from its hinges, and now pitifully laid on the floor.
"…."
"So that just happened".
My initial thought was that I had super strength as my quirk for… obvious reasons.
My parents heard the noise and rushed to my room to make sure everything was alright, and stared in disbelief for a few seconds when they saw the wreckage.
Their supposedly quirkless son who was as confused as them, was holding a crushed metal door handle in one hand, while standing over a broken door.
"Uhhh… My bad?" I said hoping they didn't get too angry with me.
They looked at each other, before turning back to me, their faces beaming with pride. They congratulated me for having, what they assumed, was a latent quirk development.
My dad laughed in joy, "Haha! I always knew you'd unlock your strength one of these days boy. And by the looks of it, you're packing quite the punch now!" while almost dislocating my shoulder as he patted it with too much enthusiasm.
My mom added, "I'm so happy for you pumpkin! Not that it was bad that you didn't have a quirk, but I know you always wanted to have one."
I tried focusing on what they were saying, but I was too busy trying to take in their presence to make sure this was real. Knowing I had almost lost them made me savor every second, feeling the relief that everything was back to normal. Well, excluding the fact that I was now in MHA.
But in that moment, nothing could have ever distracted me from their lovely faces brimming with joy for me. I would've bet my right hand on it.
And then 5 seconds later I would no longer be able to clap, because my eyes were blinking blankly, wondering if I was hallucinating.
I stared in disbelief as golden streams pulsed through my parents' bodies. Golden streams that eventually met and concentrated near their center, where it flowed into a sphere of a unique color. My mothers was a cool baby blue, and my fathers was a fiery bright red.
My brain buffered by what I was seeing, and my parents saw my strained face, attributing it to the fact I had just awakened my quirk. So they decided to give me some space and eventually left.
"We'll be downstairs whenever you're ready to talk" my mother said while my dad nodded in reassurance. Then they walked back down the stairs, leaving me in stunned silence.
'I wonder if I have those streams too', I thought. So I looked down at my body and saw nothing. But this obviously has something to do with my quirk, so I closed my eyes and focused.
After a couple of seconds, I opened my eyes and I saw golden particles flowing through my body like a stream of sand in an hourglass, invigorating every muscle fiber and drop of blood it passed by. Also, my center sphere was colored as a pure white, not a hint of any contamination or discoloration.
Unlike my parents however, my golden particles were much more widespread in my body, almost coloring me in gold. Their streams were mainly following their skeletal frame, so their gold streams looked almost like a stick figure. Mine were branched out in various paths like tree branches.
As I was trying to hypothesize what the hell my quirk was-
"Huh?"
-my train of thought derailed and crashed against a brick wall.
Through the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar card that was face down on my bed. I somehow missed it when I had woken up, but seeing it now, I knew exactly what it was.
How could I not?
It was the card that 'being' had pointed to, the same card that gave me my current quirk.
I slowly reached for the card, my heartbeat steadily accelerating knowing whatever it said, it would define what kind of hero I would become, what kind of future I would have in this world, and how much power I would potentially possess.
The card was cold but firm to the touch, like a thin piece of metal.
I turned it over and read the intricate cursive writing. The writing was colored in the same golden particles that I saw in my parents and myself.
I muttered softly to myself, with a mix of doubt and exhilaration…. "Life force".
I grinned as wide as physically possible, thinking of the sheer possibilities this would give.
'This life was going to be very interesting.'
***
After shaking off my shock, I went down to greet my parents. I wasn't expecting my sisters to be downstairs since the memories of this body (technically my body) knew they were at school. The reason I wasn't at school was because my parents decided it would be best if I was homeschooled, just like in my previous life. That's how I was able to learn school material faster after all. Plus I don't really trust the government to assign proper teachers or curriculum. Anyways, once I reached the bottom of the stairs I walked towards the kitchen where my parents were eating.
Dad: "So, any idea what your quirk is?"
My mom added with eyes of curiosity, "Yeah, tell us! This is all pretty exciting".
I stared at them a bit, "I have an idea…"
"Well don't leave us hanging" my dad said while sipping his coffee.
I was silent for a bit, wondering if I should reveal my real quirk to my parents. Weighing the pros and cons of such a decision.
But I saw no reason in not telling my parents. My parents would support me even if I decided to kill someone. Okay maybe not that extreme, but I knew they would have my back.
And given how rich my family was, and my need to practice my quirk, I would need to use all the resources I had available to train. I'm not going to hold back and try to hide my strength.
Well I would definitely hide my true strength from almost everyone, but my parents were an exception obviously.
Then I continued and answered, "…life force"
*Pfff!!*
My dad spat out his mouthful of coffee across the kitchen table.
"…Say that again" he managed to say while my equally surprised mother patted his back.
"I think I can show you instead", I said while walking towards a potted plant I saw in the kitchen.
I didn't know how I knew, but I just knew I could do what I was about to do. Like how you don't know how you move your limbs, just that you can move them.
I stretched my hand out, gripping the stem of the plant, and pulled on the golden particles I saw floating in the plant.
…
…
…
I stood like that for exactly 5 minutes. FIVE WHOLE MINUTES. Just for nothing to happen
It was so embarrassing after saying I could show them. But why the hell is this so hard? Pulling on the golden particles was like trying to grab water with your bare hands. Oh wait, I'm being so dumb rn, I just need to—
Mom: Honey, it's fine, you only just unlocked your quirk.
I replied "no wait, give me one last try".
I knew I could move the Gold particles because it was an instinct, so why the hell am I trying to consciously control it from the start? This is my first time using the quirk.
So Instead of trying to brute force it, I closed my eyes to focus. I focused only on the feeling. I focused on the small and slow flow of golden particles in the plant, and the much more abundant flow in my own body. When I imagined the plants golden particles gravitating towards me, I saw my own golden particles move in response.
'Oh, so that's how it is' I thought.
And I channeled my own golden particles into the plant itself. This time, when I pulled on the plant's life force, the golden particles gravitated towards my own, and joined my own stream of life force where they settled.
As I proportionally drew in more gold particles, the plant wilted more and more.
"My goodness" my mom muttered under her breath. My dad just stared with his eyes wide open.
I was halfway done with depleting the golden particles from the plant, but my head started aching for some reason so I stopped. It was unfortunate because I didn't get to draw in the core golden sphere of the plant but I could always try later.
Once I let go of the plant, I stood, inspecting the reaction of my parents as they sat surprised. They seemed to be as shocked as I was when understanding my quirks capabilities.
My father eventually broke the silence, leaning back and laughing in his deep voice,
"HAH HAH HAH HAH, it seems my son's potential is even greater than my own! I wonder what that old principal would say if he met you! Especially after the scene he caused to get me to join his blasted school! HAH HAH HAH!"
My mother and I exchanged glances of confusion.
But if there was anything I was sure of, it was that my life was going to be VERY hectic. Because as I locked eyes with my father, his own eyes were filled with a fiery passion radiating from them.
**********
1 ½ years later (around 6 months until canon U.A. Entrance Exam)
*Fwoooo— THUMP*
As I stood in my family's backyard, practicing my archery, I nocked another arrow onto my recurve bow, and looked back on the hellish training I had to endure for the past year and a half (Courtesy of my dad).
When I initially told my parents I wanted to go to Japan alone to attend U.A. and become a hero, they were rightfully against the idea. Both against the idea of going to study abroad, and against me living alone there.
"Don't you know how dangerous it would be!?"
"Where do you even plan on staying??"
"Just because you got a good quirk, doesn't mean you should start acting recklessly".
Eventually though, I was able to convince them because
(1) In this world, I had always dreamed of being a hero since I was adopted, and was devastated when I never got my quirk. So now that I got one, my parents couldn't bring themselves to stop me from aiming for my dreams when it was just a hand's reach away.
(2) They knew All Might was in Japan, so it's not like anything extreme could endanger me. (Even America's number 1 hero was a fangirl of All Might, so how could my parents not have faith in him?) Little did they know though, All for One was still lurking underneath Japan, plotting All Might's downfall. But what they don't know won't hurt them. So I wasn't exactly going to tell them that.
And (3) We also made a deal, where if they decided I was mature enough to handle myself, they would allow me to stay in an apartment near the school, with some of their friends coming over every so often to check up on me. Obviously the legal records would say I wasn't living alone, but it's not like the government would specifically visit me.
Anyways, after my parents agreed, they spared no effort in making sure I was prepared for what being a hero meant. They had already started to train me in a variety of martial arts when I came to them quirkless from the orphanage. The did this because if I couldn't fight back with a quirk to defend myself, I should be able to use hand to hand combat. So when I came to this world, everything from basic boxing, to Jiu Justu, came effortlessly due to the muscle memory ingrained in my body. 5 years of training from a retired pro martial hero will give you that.
They also hired a Japanese instructor because if I wanted to live in Japan, I better know how to speak their native language. And after practicing it everyday for over a year, I had to say, you probably couldn't even tell that I wasn't a native speaker. Once you're able to get a proper feeling for the correct grammar, the accent and smooth flow rapidly comes after. In my eyes at least, I had almost mastered the language because my instructors rarely nitpicked me when I spoke. I wanted to learn Japanese from my dad, but he thought I should learn it systematically.
My quirk training on the other hand, was by the far the hardest thing I've probably had to endure in both of my lives. Even harder than studying for the MCAT.
One thing I quickly learned about my quirk, is that it's waaaaay harder to use than I thought it would be. Not that I'm complaining, it's still an absurdly strong quirk with huge potential. But it's not like I could immediately solo the peak level strength of All Might or All for One right now. It would still take a couple of years before I could even think about how to confidently fight against them.
If I were to gauge myself, I would put myself somewhere at least around Midoriya's level when he came back from the internship with Gran Torino. I can't really know since I've only been training against my dad, and not any kids my age. Also, seeing vs. experiencing the fights in MHA was a big difference, and I didn't want to get overconfident against powers I couldn't experience myself.
But back to my quirk. First off, as it was named, I can manipulate my own life force and affect other living things (meaning other things with their own life force). But I can't affect other life forces without utilizing my own to interact with it.
To actually see a living thing's life force, or the 'golden particles', I had to focus on the individual. That's why I was able to see my parents' life force the first time I saw them. I was unconsciously using my power when I centered my viewpoint on them.
After some very thorough research, I determined that there are two subdivisions of a living things' life force. One is something necessary to survive, so I call it the core essence. And the other one is more general so I called it life essence.
Life essence has to do with one's body trying to reverse any stress/damage done to it. Life essence has to do with concepts like stamina, natural healing ability, and anything along those lines. Your body naturally regenerates life essence over time.
When I practiced my quirk on some plants, I had to guide my own life essence (the golden particles) to make contact with the plant's life essence. Once in contact, I channeled the plants' life essence through my own and back into my body, where I could feel my body slightly invigorate itself. And just as I showed my parents, the plant started to wilt over time, but never died. It only took a day or two for the plant to be fully recovered.
If I could describe how difficult it was to channel life essence, it would be like trying to grab some water with one hand, then running 20 feet, and anything leftover was the life essence you successfully channeled. But to feel any significant difference in my own life essence, I needed around 10 laps worth of water. Thankfully, over a year of practice, I've improved significantly.
Core essence on the other hand, is something I'm more iffy on. But the one thing I'm confident in, is that the core essence is vital for you to be alive, and it's something that can never be regenerated. The core essence was where all the gold streams of life essence converged, at the center of the living thing, forming the 'core'.
Unlike humans, all living things had the same. shining golden sphere representing their core essence. But as I saw with my parents, humans had unique colors to represent their 'cores'.
When I was practicing with plants for the first time, I aimed for the small golden core in the plant, and carefully pulled it out. This took a substantial amount of focus, and I had to sit down while only focusing on the plant for a couple of minutes.
Once I finally succeeded, I watched with a mix of fascination and a bit of horror as the plant slowly blackened, limped over, and died completely. It looked like it was robbed of all nutrients its entire life, some of the plant even crumbled to dust.
But before I could even attempt to absorb the core essence into my body, it dissipated into thin air. I tried multiple times after that, even with some animals about to be butchered from a farm. But no matter how abundant a core essence was, it always dissipated into the air before I could channel it into my body. So I guess I can't increase my own core essence, but that'd be pretty broken if I could. Just sucking the life out of every plant, animal, or living thing I came across, I'd basically become immortal.
Now with a human's core essence, or more specifically, the unique colored sphere, any conclusion I reached was mostly guesswork. I mean, it's not like I or my family had a stockpile of living humans for me to experiment on.
But the fact that the colored sphere was something I saw in humans exclusively, and not in any other living thing, hinted that it was the one thing that made humans unique, our souls. Again though, this was just my own hypothesis so I could never know.
Anyhow, now onto why my body got stronger.
You see, normal humans had the majority of their life force in their core essence, while a smaller portion of it traveled along these pathways you could call "veins", that traveled across the body. However strong these veins were, dictated how much life force people could send, and use, in their body at once.
But my body had a natural affinity for life force. It was able to naturally imbue itself with more life essence than a normal human could, and I had a vastly greater life force in general.
And as my body grew, and as I practiced my quirk more and more, the natural limit of my 'life force veins' grew, kind of like a muscle. Normal humans naturally grew theirs as well whenever they worked out, however it was nowhere near the efficiency of mine because I was directly stimulating my life force.
So with my increased life force being pumped through my body, the stronger my body got. That's why I broke the door in my room, I wasn't used to that level of strength.
But that's not all.
During my training, I found that the boosted life essence also gave me boosted regeneration. Not enough to grow back limbs or anything, but cuts or bruises that would usually stockpile on me during a fight, would be healed in a minute or two.
Plus, by constantly drawing in life force, I basically had a source of infinite stamina.
Sadly, I couldn't utilize that cheat to fight forever.
See, my quirk doesn't only take stamina to use, it also spends my mental energy. When I overuse my quirk, or try to go past my limit, the consequences vary from blacking out, to almost having a brain hemorrhage. The latter was NOT a good experience.
I also couldn't just carry around infinite amounts of life force everywhere I went. Any excess life force that my body couldn't sustain, slowly dissipated into the air. It felt like trying to hold water with your hands cupped together. It might hold for a bit, but it would slowly slip through any crack it finds between your fingers.
My quirk also allowed me to channel life essence into other living things and do the same things I could, but on them. I could choose for it to heal them, or boost their physical capabilities temporarily. And by temporarily, I mean only a couple of seconds.
Unfortunately, other living things start to reject the foreign life force if I'm not constantly assimilating it to fit their body. Something my body automatically does for me when I absorb life force.
I tried to see if I could coat my life essence over a non-living thing like metal, or imbue life essence into something that was already dead (like a plank of wood), but both failed.
Once something was dead, or if it never had any life force to begin with, I could never add life force to it. This almost dissuaded me from trying to find a way to power-up a weapon, but this was where I was most thankful for my parents' wealth and connections.
Once I realized the conditions for my quirk, I told my parents and they asked around their network. They found a unique, copper colored wood that was grown with the help of someone's quirk, called "Ryuzai". From their explanation, it was like a superior mix of a tree and cactus. Powerful and sturdy like a tree, with good adaptability to harsh living conditions from the cactus. But the key quality was that this material was alive.
I only needed to spray some water and coat the plant with some sort of fertilizer oil, and it would naturally stay alive for a couple of weeks. The base form of the material was weaker than carbon fiber, but once I used my quirk to strengthen it via life force, it was extremely protective. Using this miracle wood, I had them make a kanabo (picture here) and a recurve bow (picture here).
The reason for choosing a kanabo and not the typical sword was because my dad was experienced with using a kanabo, not a sword. Plus, my quirk lets things get physically more durable, not sharper. So my quirk was better used on a blunt melee weapon rather than a sharp one.
As for the bow, I used to do archery in my previous life, and continued it over here. Once I coupled my boosted physique and enhanced bow via life force, the power that resulted from it was (as one of my favorite British characters from a superhero show would say) 'Diabolical'.
And that's everything I've learned about my quirk so far. I'm confident it's enough to get me into U.A., but there's another hurdle I need to pass before going to Japan.
As I wiped some of my sweat away, I turned to glance at my dad who was chilling on an outdoor porch swing with my mother.
Remembering the words my dad scoffed after I first started training, "If you think I'll let you go to Japan without testing you myself, then I've obviously hit you far too many times in the head during our spars".
I had another 6 months before my duel to impress him, and I would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous. He was a literal beast when he fights, and I've yet to land a proper hit on him.
I walked over to a garden that my mom had made for me to practice my quirk on, and sat down.
'Well, he might be overpowering me now, but I'm confident I'll surpass him eventually. I just need to put the work in', and I grinned a little at the thought of thrashing him in the future. Now THATS some proper motivation.
But seriously, if I can't get strong enough to land a hit on someone who's already retired as a Pro Hero, then what the hell am I doing?
Did I learn nothing from my previous life? Do I want to risk someone stronger to come and destroy my life against my will again? I need enough power so that no one could ever think to attack me or the ones I care about.
Forget becoming the number 1 hero in Japan, I'll become the number 1 hero in the World.
And with my ambition set, my training resumed, and I caused the plants around me to wilt and fall one by one like dominoes.
**********
2 Months Later
"YES! IT WORKED!"
On a wide patch of greenery stood a 14 (almost 15) year old boy, grinning while pumping his fists in the air. Even without his outburst, you would be able to make him out from a mile away due to multiple factors. Such as the unusual glow outlining his body, the deep crater underneath where he stood, and the countless dead plants around the area.
[Zuhayr POV]
I've found out two more things about my quirk over the past 4 months. Two things, that I'm sure will be essential for my combat arsenal in the future.
The first thing I found was when I was studying the basic concept that my quirk displayed: more life essence (gold particles) flowing through a living things body = the stronger that body becomes.
So I naturally asked myself, 'how do I increase the amount of life essence flowing in my body?'
My 'life force veins' grow at their own rate, they're not something I can immediately increase. But that's when I realized, why can't I just increase the speed of the life essence itself using my quirk? I mean if they travel faster, there would be a higher net rate of life essence flowing through my body.
Similar to Luffy (One Piece) in his gear second form. He increases his blood flow, supplying more oxygen to his body, and increasing his power.
When I tried it out, I used my quirk to speed up the life essence traveling through my veins, and I immediately felt the effect. My body felt at least twice as strong.
'Huh?'
However, even if it was minuscule, I felt the presence of some of my life essence dissipate. Which led to my second discovery.
I could directly convert my life essence into short, but powerful, boosts of strength. The only thing was that it was extremely tiring, and straining, on my body. I needed a lot of practice for my body to sustain the sudden boost in power. Even converting 20% of my life essence into increased strength right now made me wobble.
But that's what working out is for. The more I use the quirk, the quicker my body will get used to it.
So I promptly resumed my training.
**********
4 Months later (1 week until U.A. entrance exam)
My dad and I faced each other while standing a few meters apart, in a training ground covered with grass and other small vegetation. At a safe distance to the side was the rest of our family, acting as both the judges and an audience.
"Good luck Zuhayr!" Mom and Hana yelled,
"Beat him up Dad!!!" Yuna yelled, looking a little too hyped.
My dad mocked, "Well well well, if it isn't the loser whose head has been best friends with my fists for years. They were pretty lonely without seeing you for 6 months. Don't you think it's time for a reunion?", he asked while he cracked his knuckles.
He already looked like a sadist with that smile, but he looked even more evil while doing it in his oni form.
I grimaced a bit as I rubbed the side of my head, trying to shake off the phantom pain. I swear this old man has knocked me out more times than the number of bones Midoriya has broken. And that's saying something.
Honestly, if I couldn't use my quirk to boost my physique, I would have died ten times over. It's honestly a blessing I could power things up with my life force—
And then suddenly, an idea sparked in my mind.
For the past few months, I've been trying to think of a proper name for when I used my quirk. Heroes were expected to have one, and it was proof of their effort and hard work to mastering their quirk.
Some Hero analysts have even said that naming your moves had to do with muscle memory. By associating a name with your powers, you make it easier to control and use by instinct.
And now I had my own. The name of my first ultimate move-
"Okay!" My mother yelled as she raised her hand
3!
Inspired after the Goddess of Earth-
2!
Mother of All Living things-
1!
"Gaia's Blessing" I muttered, feeling my quirk smoothly power up my body and weapon with life essence.
And as if it was accepting the new name, my quirk was easier to handle than before. The life essence in my body immediately began to accelerate and travel through my 'veins' like a perfect electrical circuit.
My body, brimming with life, looked for an outlet to unleash its energy, and I had the perfect target.
"Start!" My mom and sisters yelled, as they swung their arms down.
And two blurs immediately rushed towards each other.
(A/N: Sorry for the wait ya'll. Hopefully you liked this chapter. Are they too long? Personally I like reading longer chapters, but idk if I'm the minority.
Plus If you feel this is rushed, it was a little. I obviously wanted to space it out more, go into more details, but you all came for MHA! I didn't want to spend more time on topics that might disinterest you. So I sped things up as the writer.
And what do you think about the quirk? And if you're worrying about him becoming a mass murderer just because someone bumps into him, then have no fear. He won't be like the average douche/cockt MC on this app.
And he won't be outrageously OP from the beginning. There will be hurdles, there will be pain (lots of it), and there will be times he wants to give up. But you'll have to see if he does.
Have any questions about his quirk? Leave them here! I'll answer them as soon as I can! I know I explained a lot 😅
Thanks for reading!
