Chapter 12: Choose Your Path
Compared to where he was only a few months ago, Gizon Hisahito could say being at UA was a massive improvement for him. He was finally going to a normal-ish school and definitely not for a normal reason. And it had been easy to get in, despite what Gizon had heard, the entrance exam was quite easy. It was made easier that Gizon's quirks did help a bit so he didn't take damage from the robots and he was able to destroy most of one pointers and two points with a few punches. Though those three points Gizon had to build up some energy from tanking their hit before he could properly finish them off. And with all the training he had as a kid, he was able to handle himself and not get distracted as many examinees he passed did so. He didn't second guess himself or his action, as soon as the bell sounded he drove head first to find his first point.
Then came the zero-pointer, it was easy to see why no one ever went after it. It was as tall as some of the buildings and looked powerful. Though Gizon always loved a challenge, he built up as much energy as he could falling from building and while his punch didn't match the zero-pointer's. The energy Gizon gained but blocking it, Gizon happily returned the favor and returned the force upon the zero-pointer ripping its entire arm off. That along with all the villain and rescue points, Gizon easily got the top spot in the ranking and guaranted that Gizon could leave his old life in the dark
Though he wasn't the only one, he heard an examinee from a different group had also destroyed their zero-pointer. However when Gizon asked his fellow classmates of 1-A and those of 1-B, none claimed to be the student that had done so. Which he found strange, even though he wasn't boasting he was sure the second student would be doing so. He figured at least one student would claim to be the other one, even if they were lying.
Then came Mr Aizawa's quirk assessment and Gizon immediately knew that while the threat of expulsion was false, Mr Aizawa was more than ready to make good on it. Though Gizon couldn't figure out on what basis Mr Aizawa was truly grading everyone. And along with that Gizon started to butt heads with two of his fellow students. The first was Minuro Mineta and the fact he was ogling the girl every time he looked over at him. That was something Gizon decided to put off for later. Give the runt as chance to prove he could be better
The second was Katsuki Bakugo and it came after the throw ball. Gizon was called out by Mr Aizawa for holding back with his quirk. Something that Bakugo didn't seem to like as Gizon had nearly matched his score. Bakugo rushed Gizon and looked ready to attack, and as Gizon shifted to defend himself, Mr Aizawa used his capture tool to restrain Bakugo. Seeing the yellow goggles under Mr Aizawa's scarf Gizon recognized him as the pro hero Eraserhead, though he stayed silent about identifying his teacher for personal reasons.
Mr Aizawa threatened to give Bakugo detention if he acted, while Gizon saw an opportunity to give Mr Aizawa what he wanted. Gizon turned to Mr Aizawa and said, "Actually I don't mind. It would help with my quirk."
That got everyone's attention, confused about what Gizon was getting at. Mr Aizawa looked at Gizon, who shrugged his shoulders and then nodded. Bakugo grinned as Mr Aizawa released him, "You're even better than the damn nerd, you know your place."
"Just not in the face." Gizon said as he stepped back from Bakugo.
"I do whatever the hell I want," Bakugo said as he lifted his hand and unleashed an explosion right in Gizon's face. Bakugo expected Gizon to fall backwards onto the ground, but he just waved the smoke away. He then calmly held out a hand for a new ball that Mr Aizawa tossed to him.
Gizon then returned around and shifted into a pitcher's stance then took a small step forwards and threw the ball. It sailed through the air and Gizon knew it was going to go further than Bakugo threw, as though Bakugo's attack wasn't as strong as the one he used to throw the ball Gizon had a workaround. And didn't even look when Mr Aizawa showed off his score.
"Thanks for the assist," Gizon said then walked back to the rest of the class. He couldn't figure out why but he could feel Bakugo glaring into his soul. He wasn't the only one to beat Bakugo's throw, Momo Yaoyorozu blew all of their scores out of the water. Though as Gizon stood there, he figured it out. Bakugo was like so many that Gizon had met over his life, the only thing he cared for was his quirk. He only cared if it was powerful and the most powerful and what Gizon had just done. Showed that Bakugo's quirk did nothing to him.
Gizon would have to get Bakugo out of that mindset, or it could lead to a dangerous path, one that Gizon saw destroy lives. However, that is not to say it was going to be easy, as Bakugo returned the favor during All Might's first class. And while all of his classmates cheered at being able to meet the symbol of peace, Gizon just gave a small clap.
Even now Gizon could still remember the power he had held for a split second. He had faced Bakugo by himself, leaving Ochaco Uraraka to deal with Tenya Ilda. Gizon held Bakugo in combat long enough but Bakugo was smart enough to know he had to switch from fighting Gizon to try and get back to defending the bomb. That told Gizon that Bakugo wasn't as far gone as he thought.
However, Gizon wanted to win the exercise and became like a brick wall and kept Bakugo from retreating too far. Within the last minute, Bakugo chose to retort to his grenade-shaped gauntlet. Not wanting to let the explosion damage the building too much, Gizon got close and took the attack near point-blank range. Gizon figued he would be about to tank the attack, letting his quirk do its job, but the amount of force that came from Bakugo's attack overwhelmed Gizon a bit. enough so he was thrown back and through several walls. After catching his breath Gizon pulled himself out of the hole in the wall, and as his foot landed with a thud it shook the entire building.
Imbuing his quirk with all the energy he had absorbed, Gizon pulled off his burning UA Gym shirt and faced Bakugo. With his eyes glowing and a golden biblical light forming around him, Gizon shifted his weight to launch himself back and Bakugo. With a yell, Gizon pushed off the ground and was flying straight towards Bakugo, yet that push was enough to put too much strain on Gizon's body and mind. And just as he was about to throw the punch, Gizon passed out and fell to the ground.
When he woke he had been informed his team had lost. Ochaco explained from her perspective the entire building pulsed yellow then the floor began to disintegrate. This caused everyone to lose their footing and fall to the ground floor, resulting in Ochaco not reaching the bomb in time. Gizon was ticked of course but soon that was in the back of his mind. But winning one hero class wasn't that important to his end goal, so his mind focused elsewhere and soon the day was at the back of his mind.
The next day started with the class voting for the Class president and vice president. Many people had voted for him, bringing up how he had acted during All Might's class. His quick decision-making and how it led to a heroic stand against a villain. He thanked them but he quickly handed it over to Ilda. Making Tenya Ilda class president and Momo Yaoyorozu Vice president.
Gizon was confident in his choice to hand over the responsibility to Ilda. Even more so with how he handled the panic during lunch. The announcement of the break-in sent everyone into panic. Yet as Gizon wasn't too concerned he didn't get up from his chair and continued to eat his lunch. He listened as Ilda announced it was the media and everyone slowly went to their classroom. He continued to eat his lunch until lunch was supposed to be over and then went back to Class 1-A for heroic.
In the classroom, he just nodded to Ilda and then headed over to his desk. And now a week later, Class 1-A was heading to an out-of-campus training faculty. As the class rode a bus, everyone talked about how they were excited about rescue training, however, Gizon was still thinking about how the media could have gotten through the UA gate. The gate hadn't simply been destroyed, it looked like parts of it had been disintegrated.
"Your quirk is a lot like All Might." Tsuyu suddenly said, pulling Gizon from his thoughts.
It took a moment for Gizon to realize she was talking to him. "Um, what are you talking about? My quirk is nothing like All Might's" Gizon said as he looked down the middle aisle at Tsuyu.
"You both seem to have extreme super strength from seemingly nowhere," Tsuyu said, as she stared back at Gizon. The other 1-A members stopped their conversation to listen to Gizon's response.
"Tsuyu…." Gizon began.
"I told you to call Tsu." Tsuyu said, cutting Gizon off.
Gizon sighed, then spoke with more convection, "Tsuyu, I can promise you All Might and my quirk are nothing alike. Though that would be cool, they are not." Though Gizon was curious how close he could get to that statement. His quirk could hold a lot of energy, so maybe seeing how he compared to All Might, might help with a personal matter.
"Yeah you both have super strength, but All Might's quirk doesn't do that little light show, or cause him to pass out from overuse. Though you're manly for withstanding Bakugo's attack last week," Kirishima said as Bakugo growled.
Gizon noticed Todoroki giving him a bit of a side eye, but he didn't give it much attention. What the son of the number 2 hero could be thinking Gizon wanted no part in. If Todoroki was anything like his father, Gizon was fine with staying as classmates and nothing else.
"Still you've got a flashy quirk that will help you become a popular pro hero. Along with Bakugo and Todoroki, you've three got pro-hero material quirks. There's not much I can do with a simple hardening quirk." Kirishima said, holding up an arm and his forearm turning into rock.
"It earned you a spot in Japan's number one hero school, so it got to be worth something. You can become the ultimate shield, nothing will be able to get past you." Gizon said as he looked over at Kirishima's arm.
"Quite down, we're here." Mr. Aizawa said. After a minute the bus slowed down to a stop and everyone filed off the bus. Now Gizon was standing in front of the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. Ochaco asked why he wasn't wearing his hero costume, something he hadn't also worn during training yesterday, despite everyone having chosen to wear their costumes. However, before he could answer them, Thirteen had walked out, causing Ochaco to start bouncing. Gizon had to place his hand on her shoulder to hold her down and make her stop jumping.
"I can't believe it's Thirteen. She's my favorite hero. I can't believe she's going to teach us." Ochaco said. She was still bouncing under Gizon's hand, but not as much.
"Welcome Class 1-A to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. Otherwise known as the USJ." Thirteen said, giving a small bow.
Gizon couldn't help but compare it to Universal Studios Japan and wonder if they had ever sued, movie companies were quite protective of their image.
"Now before we begin there is a thing I would like to say. Okay, maybe two, or three, actually..." Thirteen said and Gizon internally groaned as the number got bigger but eventually Thirteen made her point about how quirks could be dangerous and heroes all have to know when they limit their quirks and manage control over it.
Gizon couldn't help as he had some personal experiences about losing control over his quirk and had seen it multiple times, people gaining quirks and struggling to learn how to control them. Power was dangerous, power left unchecked was disastrous, power left uncontrolled was detrimental to the user.
With her warning over Thirteen continued with "I can't wait to show you what's inside. Follow me." The students of Class 1-A followed the two pro heroes inside. Inside there were several different environments. Kirishima commented it looked like an amusement park, "Inside the USJ you will find many different environments that can be caused by natural disasters or villain attacks. Shipwrecks, landslides, fire and deep caverns are just a few that can be found here. This facility was created to teach how to handle these environments during rescue operations.
"While many heroes focus on combat and fighting, recuse is just as important. Quirks can be used in many different ways. Some you may never have thought of. Mr. Aizawa's assessment taught you where your current power level is. All Might hero class will teach you how to fight against those who seek to harm others. Here in my class, you will learn how it feels to fight against Mother Nature."
"And here I thought it wasn't nice to mess with Mother Nature and her judgment." Gizon said, earning a few chuckles from the students that heard him. Gizon decided not to tell them about how he had crossed paths with a woman whose quirk gave her control over the earth and she was known as Mother Nature.
Mr Aizawa looked around the entrance and noticed that someone was missing. He turned to Thirteen and whispered, "Where's All Might? I thought he was supposed to be here waiting for us."
Thirteen turned to Mr Aizawa and leaned in, with all of Class 1-a still taking in the sights, she whispered, "Apparently he used up all of his time on the way to work this morning. It was all over the news, 20 different incidents within an hour."
"That man is the height of irresponsibility. Fine, so where is he right now?" Mr. Aizawa knew the only reason All Might was supposed to be here was because Principal Nezu suspected a villain was behind last week's break-in. The official report was a person within the media but as admitting to being the one that destroyed the gate would mean losing jobs and reputation, all of the new outlets said they were silent about it. But there was even worse news as Principal Nezu shared with the teacher that the break-in had been to steal information. The assailant had hacked into the server of an old teacher who had a hand in most of UA. Besides that, Mr Aizawa didn't bother with details.
"He's resting in the teacher's lounge." Thirteen answered in a hushed tone.
"Good Principal Nezu should be able to easily find him then. He deserves the long-winded lecture he has coming." Mr. Aizawa smiled a bit before. If there was one thing no one from UA wanted to deal with was sitting through a two-hour lecture from the mouse. Mr Aizawa heard from Present Mic and Midnight that his lecture was boring enough they wanted to sleep but just interesting enough that they couldn't. Mr. Aizawa was pulled from his thoughts as a cold shiver went down his spine and he began to look around for it.
Mr Aizawa's eyes darted over to his student, and he noticed Gizon was stealthily looking around too. Had Gizon noticed the feeling too, but he was only 15 how were his senses that attuned? Questions for later as Mr Aizawa found the source of the cold feeling. A purple swirling cloud formed in the middle of the main courtyard between the different environments|
Class 1-a finally noticed and a few of them took a step forward to get a better look, while Gizon took a step back. Gizon couldn't believe it, he couldn't have possibly found him. Gizon had erased everything and did well to hide his track as he had done it before, then again he owed the man a large debt and the man was patient and not the forgiving type.
Gizon looked over at his classmates. Why couldn't the man have just picked him off the street, Gizon could easily lose him in the streets. But in the middle of a new building surrounded by people who had gotten to know Gizon Hisahito. His disappearing act won't work too well.
"Wow, is this beginning of training? UA is so manly, they go all out for everything." Kirishima said as he and Mina looked down the stairs.
This isn't by UA hands." Mr Aizawa said. Principal Nezu had been right, the break-in had been caused by a villain. And it was more than just a one time thing, had it been a warning, a calling card. Yet why attack the USJ, to make a statement when the timing couldn't have been guessed? Mr Aizawa realized what the true purpose of the break-in was, it had been a distraction to steal a class schedule. Allowing the villains to plan around the best place and deal to sneak in an attack
Whoever was behind the operation, this was not their first time.
Suddenly Gizon stepped forward, with an aura that he knew what he had to do and Mr Aizwa saw the look in his eyes. He was acting because he had better judgment, yet how could he know how serious the situation was? Yet Gizon knew how serious the situation was, probably better than anyone else in the building. If that man had decided to come after Gizon, then Gizon had to keep his focus on him and stay one step ahead of him.
Gizon grabbed Kirishima's neck and Mina's collar and pulled them back, "Wo, Hisahito, what are you doing? Those are just actors."
Gizon sighed, of course, none of them would truly understand what was happening, "Even if they were just actors, we would need to treat them like villains." Gizon then let go of Mina and Kirishima and grabbed Sero and Kaminari's shirt.
"If they're villains, then where is the alarm?" Sero asked as he looked up at Gizon, who had a cold look in his eyes.
Before Mr Aizawa could explain the importance of a sneak attack not being interrupted by an alarm, Todoroki beat him to it.
"They must have picked this location and time because they knew a class would be here." Todoroki said. It was a smart play if they were looking to cause some damage, the only pro heroes were Eraserhead and Thirteen. The villains wouldn't want to be interrupted by more teachers showing more.
"Real villains would have a way to deal with the alarm. Technology or quirk base, honestly it doesn't matter. They would want to make sure their arrival wasn't interrupted, if the alarm was tripped then their whole plan would be over before it began. We're only ten minutes from the main campus and some of the UA hero teachers can move faster than a bus. If an alarm was tripped, this would all be over before they would do any damage." Gizon said, now showing no fear as he exhaled a deep breath.
Mr Aizawa looked at Gizon as if he wouldn't have been able to explain it any better. Gizon was a smart student, the way he had acted during the first week of class told that much. He had a strong quirk and knew how to use it, but he was also quick to assess different situations and break them down. However, Gizon wasn't speaking as if he read that somewhere in a textbook. No, he was speaking as if that was how he would plan something like this as if he had first-hand experience. As if this was how he was planning an attack on the USJ.
Mr. Aizawa shook that thought and refocused on the purple cloud. It quickly expanded and people began to walk out. None of them looked all too intimidating, just some low-level street thugs. Yet in the middle of the USJ were over 200 of these thugs, which could cause some issues. None of the 1-A students had training against other people, some know how to effectively use their quirks. But between a test dummies and actual people there was a large learning curve, not something that could be overcome with a week's training.
Eventually, the purple cloud expanded even more and two large entities walked out. The first one was a large figure, muscles bulging all over its dark purple body. It had a large open beak mouth, with its brain exposed. It gave off a demonic and twisted aura that almost made Mr. Aizawa want to throw up. Mr Aizawa always noticed despite not seeing it, Gizon took a small step back.
Before Mr Aizawa could think about his student's action, a second large entity walked through the purple cloud. It was different from the beaked monster, the second creature looked like a giant metal suit of armor. It had a clear sign of an exoskeleton, making it clear it could easily move, the question was how fast. It stood nearly as tall as the other figure. It had glowing white eyes, and it scanned the group of students as if it were looking for something.
Finally, a person covered in grey hands walked out of the cloud. As soon as the man stepped out, Gizon took a step forwards and looked at the man in the hands. He had seen the man before and seen what he was capable of, but Gizon knew he needed to hold his ground. Once the man was clear, the purple cloud shrunk and morphed into the shape of a man. A man wearing a standard butler attire
"Everyone has passed through sir. We're ready to begin." the purple cloud said in a monotone voice that benefited its attire.
"Good." The man covered in his hands spoke in a dry tone as he looked up at the group atop the stairs, "I don't see All Might. Master said he would have been put over these students after the break-in."
"My scanners aren't picking him up. Only Thirteen and Eraserhead." The giant metal man said, his voice booming over the crowd. Making him sound like a villainous All Might, though the monster beside him seems to hold the power.
The man began to scratch viciously at his throat, "This whole job was to kill the symbol of Peace and he isn't even here. We were supposed to be able to beat the game after the tutorial but the final boss isn't even here."
"I didn't join your little band of thugs just to waste my time." The giant robot said, looking down at the man covered in hands, "You promised everything was going to go according to the plan. Your master said Nezu would add All Might to the roster, out of fear because of the break-in. Yet I don't see him anywhere, I'm putting a lot on the line for this."
"We aren't wasting our time. If we can't kill the symbol of peace, then we'll just stop the next generations of heroes." the man yelled, "Attack." All the thugs began to rush forward, "Kurogiri, time for you to do your job."
"Yes sir." The purple cloud of a man collapsed on himself, disappearing.
"Class you need to get out of here. This is no place for children." Mr Aizawa said, pulling his goggles over his eyes, "You're only first years, this is not your fight."
"You against over 200 thugs." Gizon said. Out of everyone in Class 1-A, he needed to prove himself the most. He wanted to prove he could be a hero despite what his father wanted, "Mr. Aizawa, your quirk is best suited for sneak attacks, not prolonged battles."
"Rule #1 about being a hero, you can't just have one trick." Mr. Aizawa took out and leapt down the flight of stairs. As he rushed towards the villain below, he began picking out his targets and the order in which it was most efficient to take them out.
"Gunners, aim and fire." One of the thugs said, raising their hand which had barrels of guns for fingers. He tried to activate his quirks, but nothing happened, "My quirk? It's gone, what happened?"
Mr Aizawa came crashing down on the thug, his knee pressing into the thug's head. The thug was instantly knocked out and Mr. Aizawa fell to the ground, but quickly hopped back on and landed on his face. He looked around, gauging which thugs were going to take the most time.
"Idiots that Eraserhead. His quirk allows him to block quirks." The metal giant informed the group of thugs, not that it could do them much good. Heroes were trained to fight with a disadvantage, as a smart villain would know a hero's quirk before fighting them.
"Interesting, but I bet your quirk doesn't work on a heteromorphic like me." A man whose skin was grey and black rock charged forwards. He had his fist drawn back and ready to attack the hero.
"You're right." Mr Aizawa gripped his scarf and threw it out, one from the heteromorphic would easily do damage and with all the other villains surrudoing him. Mr Aizawa didn't want to get jumped and kept down. As the scarf reached the villain it wrapped itself around the heteromorphic's torse. Mr. Aizawa spun around, using the thug as a wrecking ball, before pulling him in close and ramming his elbow in the thug's nose, knocking him out, "That's why I only allow people like you close when I want. Alright, who's next."
Mr Aizawa looked over at the crowd of thugs in front of him. He was going to take a hard nap after this. Not just for having to deal with all this, but to step up and cover All Might. If he wasn't exhausted from Principal Nezu's lecture, even if the number 1 hero was tired from the lecture Mr Aizawa would give him an earful and a lecture about how as a teacher his first responsibility was to his student. Not to the media or his public image, but to his students, to teach them and to protect them
Chapter 13: Divide and Conquer
For many reasons, some wanted to help, others wanted a chance to let loose, the rest just watched to watch as Mr Aizawa fought, All of Class 1-A was still standing at the top of the stairs looking down. They were all impressed as Mr Aizawa easily took care of the thugs, moving to the next before the one had hit the ground. All the while Gizon and were trying to get them to step back from the stairs, yet they were all entranced by the fight to move.
"Mr. Aizawa is manly. He's handling those villains like they're nothing." Kirishima said, as Mr. Aizawa knocked out a guy that had metal arms, then wrapped his scarf around a villain that was behind his back.
"Students, you need to get out of here right now. I'll be staying behind to assist Eraserhead. Now go." Thirteen said as Gizon grabbed Karminari's shirt and began to pull.
But then Gizon felt something was wrong and he mumbled, "No we won't be able to escape. It's too late." Gizon looked over the fight to see what was causing him to have that feeling, when he noticed that the purple cloud butler was missing. He had been the one to teleport all of the thugs into the USJ, causing Gizon to begin desperately looking around for him. Gizon couldn't find the purple cloud butler when he suddenly felt a cold chill coming from behind him.
Gizon turned around and came face to face with the purple cloud butler, who had a look of recognition on his misty face. And Gizon has one too, he felt something familiar with the man in the gray hands but with this teleporter. It was else, it was fearing death like from him, or caution from the man in the grey hands. But the purple cloud butler, Gizon felt a feeling on entrapment, 'We're stuck."
"What do you mean?" Momo asked, as she turned and looked at Gizon as he took a small step forwards as if putting himself between the class and something. Momo then noticed he wasn't looking down at the fight, now he was looking at the short distance between the top of the stairs and the exit. Momo and several others followed Gizon's line of focus, and just in time, a purple cloud appeared in the group. It slowly formed into the shape of a man, who was wearing a standard butler outfit. Black pants, black vest over a white shirt, the only thing out of the ordinary was some kind of metal piece of armor, that Gizon barely noticed.
The mist villain bowed in a formal fashion and said, "Hello My name is Kurogiri and we are the League of Villains." Gizon had to stop himself from laughing, he could never understand how stupidly people named themselves, "And we are here to kill All Might, however, it seems he is not in our presence. Yet that is not my job, my job is to divide you from your classmates."
The purple cloud surrounding the villain's arms began to fly out, but before anything would happen, Bakugo and Kirishima launched themselves forwards. Bakugo lit off an explosion and Kirishima swung a hard punch, however, both attacks missed.
"No, don't attack." Gizon said, getting close to a teleporter was one good way to allow the teleporter to use their quirk on you.
"You talk too much." Bakugo said, preparing another explosion, while Kirishima got ready to throw another punch. However, the ground beneath their feet was suddenly replaced with purple mist and they fell through.
"Bakugo, Kirishima." their classmates yelled, though Gizon was the only one to take action. He dove forwards, trying to grab hold of their hand. However, the portal closed before Gizon could get close, causing to slide across the ground. Gizon quickly got his hands under and looked up at Kurogiri. Kurogiri looked down at Gizon, causing a shiver to go up Gizon's spine. Gizon's got his feet under and jumped back to the class. While Gizon was in the air, Kurogiri lashed out, sending purple cloud at Gizon. Gizon noticed and had to land early to and handspring over a portal that Kurogiri had intended for Gizon to fall through. Gizon landed next to Thirteen who had stepped forwards to protect the students.
"Now to deal with the rest of the students." Kurogiri said and much more quickly this time, a portal appeared under the feet of the students. the ground below each student became covered in purple gas. Gizon looked back to see several of his fellow students through, this distracted him enough that he began to fall through.
Gizon couldn't believe it as he fell through the portal, he had been training his life over to never let down his guard. That was his number one priority during a fight was his life on the line. Had he gotten attached to Class 1-a enough that he forgot about that. He had dived to try and save Bakugo and Kirishima, something he won't have done normally. As Gizon chest went through the portal he realized he had tried to save Bakugou and Kirishima, his first thought wasn't to protect himself. Then Gizon's vision changed and he found himself falling into the landslide hazard zone which was filled with thugs.
Gizon always knew he had a high chance of dying young, but he wished it wasn't by the hands of low level thugs.
As Gizon got near the ground, he crossed his arm in front of him and hit the ground. Normally a person's arm would be destroyed, but as a cloud of dust went up and caught everyone's attention, Gizon arms absorbed the impact. He pulled himself out of the hole and saw cracks had formed around him. Then as Gizon felt all eyes on him he instantly shifted into a defensive pose and just in time as the first thugs attacked him.
Gizon dodged the thugs' knife, this was not the first time Gizon had fought against someone with a knife. And the thug was no way near her level, so Gizon easily grabbed the thug's wrist and twisted, forcing him to drop it, allowing Gizon to kick the thug in the chest and send him flying.
Gizon was then caught off guard as a thugs with rock covered hands punch Gizon's across the jaw. Gizon slid across the floor a bit but the villain was quickly on top of him again. The thug decked Gizo, causing him to go flying. Gizon hit the ground and quickly got to his knee, and saw the thug coming towards him. He was ready this time and as the thug kicked Gizon blocked the attack. Gizon took the time to get on one leg, then blocked a punch. Gizon got his other leg under him.
The thug then drew back its right fist and Gizon quickly stood up and caught the fist. Gizon's eyes glowed a bit yellow as he forced the thugs arm out of its socket and Gizon looked the thug in the eyes. Gizon saw fear enter his opponents eyes, "You hit hard." Gizon then roundhouse kicked the thugs square in the chest and sent him flying, "I hit harder."
"Hisahito." Gizon heard someone calling out and looked over and found Momo and Jirou defending themselves. Momo created a bo staff for herself while Jirou pulled a machete out of Momo's leg. Gizon jumped over to them and shoulder checked the thug away from Momo, "You were sent here too."
Before Gizon could say anything the thug ran back in and tried to tackle Gizon. Gizon dodged and then made the villain stumbled back with a right hook. Then with the brief window Gizon had created, he spartan kicked the villain away, then went shoulder to shoulder with Momo and Jirou. Gizon looked around and said, "I'm glad I wasn't the only one sent here."
"If we're the only three here, then the others must have been sent something else. Kurogiri said his job was to divide us, this must be what he meant, divide and conquer. Our main focus should be getting back to the main plaza and hope the others are able to handle themselves." Momo deduced and it was a smart plan. Divide the Class 1-a student among the groups and then overwhelmed them with numbers
"Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him." Gizon said as he raised his hand to ready himself. The quick fight he had eariler filled up a good portion of his with energy and he was more than happy to return the favor.
"Now is not the time to quote Sun Tzu." Jirou complain. They were in the middle of a fight for their lives, they need to focus on getting out it alive.
"Then about how about this one, know thy enemy. If our opponent knew me, they would be trying to restrain me, not fight me." Gizon said as he looked around and noticed that the thugs were starting to move into position to attack, "The initial skirmish is over and even if they are cannon fodder, numbers still play a big part in battle." Gizon counted over the crowd and counted 64 thugs left. He needed to get out of here, away from Kurogiri and the man in the grey hands. He knew who they were, he was familiar with them and that only meant one thing to Gizon.
"Come." One the thugs yelled and they all charged the trio.
Momo and Jirou used their weapons to defend themselves, while Gizon took a step forward to hold his ground. He was punched left and right, yet all that did was fill up his quirk. Among the hits, Gizon was throwing his own attacks. Once his quirks were filled enough his attacks were starting to sent thugs flying. And any that rushed pass him attack Momo and Jirou, causing him to have to pull them off of the girls. Gizon noticed their costume had rips and tears, showing the thugs only had one thing on their minds.
Gizon was a gentleman. He was always nice to women when he first met them, but if their attitude was not kind he lost all respect for them. And Momo and Jirou had been nice to Gizon since he met them. After Bakugou had destroyed his hero customer, Momo had offered to create him a new one. Gizon respectively declined the offer as the costume wasn't what he was looking for in the first place. While Jirou had helped Gizon find his way to his exam area and then to Class 1-A on the first day.
So when Gizon found men trying to have some fun with Momo and Jirou, he lost it. Jirou's jacket and belt had been torn off, Momo was having to cover herself. So he grabbed one of the larger thugs and lifted him into the air. It was time for prison rules, so Gizon yelled, "Hey!" And as soon as he had all of their attention he slammed the large thug into the ground, breaking the ground with his face. Gizon then stood up and said, "Leave them alone!"
All of the thugs look at Gizon. He didn't look over imposing, he didn't have a figure like All Might, or an aura like Endeavour, though if the thugs were any wiser they would realized Gizon knew how to hide his aura. Nor did it help that he was in a regular white t-shirt with an open jacket over it and a pair of gym pants. The only thing that made Gizon seem like a threat was he was taller than the average person from Japan.
"You seem like a guy that would jump at a chance to join us." One of the thugs said and Gizon then gave a kind smile that hid his anger. Oh, how wrong they were, Gizon was the last person that would fall to such temptation.
Gizon casually walked up to the thug that said that and the next second his punch was punching the man's nose. The thug went flying back and down the mountain side, that was enough to get the rest gunning for Gizon. Yet his main priority was not fighting as he quickly weaved through the onslaught and came out now between the group of men and his classmates.
Gizon grabbed hold of Momo and Jirou, in a way not to make them feel uncomfortable and jumped away. He landed a good distance away from the men and slide to a stop. He slowly set the girls on the ground and stood up.
Jirou noticed the state of Momo's costume and despite Gizon saying he wouldn't, Jirou didn't have much trust in men. So she moved to cover Momo's exposed chest but then Gizon, with his eyes closed, took off his jacket and draped it over Momo. Gizon then looked Momo in the eyes, and she expected Gizon to say some comforting words but then in a flat voice Gizon asked for a smoke grenade.
Gizon asking Momo for a smoke grenade, gave her something to focus on, besides what she had been caught in the middle less than 15 seconds ago. She pulled up the mental image of a smoke grenade and handed it to Gizon. Gizon took the smoke grenade and then nodded. He then stood up and faced the group of men. He noticed all of their attention was back on Momo and Jirou, something he did not take kindly to.
Gizon began walking back to the man, tossing the smoke grenade up into the air and catching it again like it was a baseball. Once he was in range he yelled, "Hey!"
"Well, aren't you just a mommy's boy." One of the thugs said. And with that Gizon pulled the pin of the smoke grenade and threw it. The moment it hit the ground it exploded and Gizon ran forwards. Before he ran into the smoke cloud, he scooped up the bo staff Momo made, then he disappeared into the smoke cloud.
From Momo and Jirou's perspective, the moment Gizon disappeared into the smoke cloud, a flash of yellow lights began to set off. Each flash of light was accompanied by the sound of flesh hitting flesh and a body hitting the floor. A few villains tried to run out of the smoke cloud, so Momo and Jirou got ready to fight, but then they were pulled back into the cloud of smoke by an arm with a biblical light around it.
Two minutes after Gizon disappeared he walked out carrying the bo staff against his shoulder and dragging the man who had called Gizon's a mommy's boyb by the back of his jacket. What was surprising was there didn't appeared to a single scratch on Gizon. Gizon lifted the man in front of him and stared into the man's soul for a bit. As if telling the man how much he had messed up. Then with a yell Gizon threw the man into the ground and cracks formed as the ground broke, "Punts."
Gizon sighed and began walking back to the girls. When he was only ten steps away, the ground behind him broke and a large villain wearing a skull mask grabbed Gizon's head and lifted him into the air. Gizon felt an electric pulse go through his body and though he absorbed most of it, the feeling made his body go numb.
"Such defiance, acting as if he isn't like every other teenage boy. But with him now out of the way, I'll have you two all to myself." The skull mask villain said. Momo and Jirou tried to take a step back, but then the skull mask villain lifted it free hand and lighting sparked around it, "Another move and I'll fry your so-called knight in white armor." Momo and Jirou froze and the skull mask villain laughed, "The other underestimated Class 1-A of UA. But a mistake that ended in my favor. Once I've had my fill, I'll let Shigaraki kill you."
Gizon's mind froze as he heard the name of Shigaraki. One it couldn't be him, Gizon had hidden himself from the world, the light and the dark. There was no way that that man had found him. Gizon knew he was a patient man, but he was not one to go after a fruitless endeavor. Gizon would have begun to shake out of fear, but his body was unable to move. He guessed that worked in his favor as it made the skull mask villain believe he was unconscious.
"The other started, but I will be the one to finish you two and with nothing else in my way, I'm going to enjoy myself and take my time." The skull mask villain said as he began walking towards Momo and Jirou. Gizon could see the fear in their eyes, though Momo hid her a bit better. Gizon saw the skull mask villain begin to reach for Momo to pull off Gizon's jacket. Gizon's body decided that was enough and woke up, as Gizon's arm shot up and broke the wrist of the hand that was holding Gizon in the air.
In the few seconds of the confusion and pain of the skull mask villain, Gizon hit the ground and drew back his fist. He pulled all the rest of his quirks' energy into his fist and his arm gained a bright biblical glow. Gizon saw the fear in the skull mask villain's eyes as he took a step forward and threw a punch. A punch that hit the skull mask villains in the chest and sent him flying down the mountain.
"I despise those types of men above all else." Gizon said then his shoulder dropped and he turned to the girls, "Are you two alright?"
Neither of the girls said a thing as Momo hugged herself and Jirou felt like trying to make herself small as she fell to the ground. Momo gave a small nod as Jirou had small tears running down her cheeks. Neither of them liked how close they had gotten to being made into something less than what they were.
Even though there was still much to do and the fighting was not over, Gizon walked up to Momo and Jirou. He hugged Momo with right arm and put his left hand on Jirou's shoulder, "You did good. And you don't have to worry about them any more." Gizon felt the girls lean into his embrace, but then he made the mistake of looking down the hill. He should have kept his attention on comforting his classmates, but the moment he looked down the hill and saw the fighting was still going on, he couldn't focus on anything else.
"We have to help everyone else." Gizon said, as he let go of the girls and took a step towards the edge, "The fight isn't over, make your way down the hill. I'll go ahead to help out."
Momo and Jirou looked over at Gizon, thankful that he had rescued them and not wanting him to leave. But he was right, they might have been safe in their area but the rest of their class was still out fighting for their lives. But they were confused of how Gizon planned on going ahead of them, there was only one stairwell down the side of the mountain. Their question was answered, as Gizon jumped down the side of the mountain. He landed on a boulder, his quirk absorbing all the kinetic energy that he then used to rocket himself down the mountain.
As Gizon landed on the center of the courtyard, he saw Eraserhead had taken care of all of the thugs around him. Leaving only the man in the gray hands and the two massive monsters.
"I hate Pro-hero, more so when they live up to their reputation," the man in the gray hands complained, scratching his neck. He was watching Eraserhead, a pro hero known only to use sneak attacks and only fight small groups, easily handling the 200 thugs in the main plaza.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." The metal man said. The man in the gray hands heard and was tempted to dust the suit of armor, leaving the man to his known devices.
"Master gave you this opportunity to demonstrate your suit. Or do you want me just to destroy it and throw you to the heroes?" The man in the gray hands said viciously scratching his neck, leaving a red rash behind.
"Fine Shigaraki. I'll deal with your hero issue, since you seem to be waiting for your precious All Might to use your creature." The man sighed, then stepped forwards. He looked at Eraserhead, who readied himself, as his scarf turned around his neck and shoulders.
Gizon froze and focused on the man in the gray hands. The metal man had called him Shigaraki. That was impossible. The Shigaraki Gizon knew looked nothing like that. Had Shigaraki got a quirk that allowed him to change his look. No, the man Gizon knew wouldn't make himself look like a young 20 year old. The Shigaraki Gizon knew would show off his age, showing that not even time could kill him.
The Shigaraki that was in front of Gizon had to be a son. No that wasn't it, a disciple, that felt right. Someone the man had trained to be the face of the League of Villains, so he could remind the mastermind in the shadow.
"Time for the boss's minion." Eraserhead, looking at the giant metal man rushing towards him. Once he was a few feet away, Eraserhead activated his quirk, however, it did nothing to slow his opponent's speed. As an underground hero, Eraserhead had seen all different kinds of quirks. From quirks that turn people into the weirdest animals to quirks that were downright disgusting.
So when Eraserhead had first laid eyes on the metal giant; he assumed it was a quirk that gave his opponent his appearance. However, the realization that it wasn't was quirk as soon as the metal monster lost no speed under Erasure. The thought that it was some kind of suit crossed Eraserhead's mind as he felt the cold metal of a large fist bat him away.
Eraserhead flew away, but before he could hit the ground, the suit ran up and caught him. Eraserhead was lifted up and then slammed into the ground, only to be kicked away this time. Eraserhead could feel his breath escape his lungs, as he hit the ground and rolled. Once he stopped he forced himself to catch his breath and slowly rose his head to see the hulking figure of the suit staring at him.
Eraserhead could feel that his ribs were sore, a sure sign that once the adrenaline wore off he would be in a world of pain. He slowly got to his knees then forced himself to get up onto his feet. Eraserhead's vision was fuzzy, but he saw the illuminated eyes looking right back at him. Eraserhead knew his quirk didn't improve his fight capabilities or his strength, however against most other quirks users, Eraserhead was able to bring them down to his level. Yet against a machine like this, Eraserhead would have his work cut out for him.
"Impressive you aren't dead yet. Unfortunately that won't be true for much longer." The giant suit raised its palm. Plates shifted around and air hissed then an electric hum raised Eraserheads eyes as the palm of the suit began to glow. "Let's see how these work?"
Eraserhead stared down at the glowing palm, his senses told him he did not want to be on the end of what came out of that glow. He had a small believe that it was part of the man's quirk and he could cancel it, but chances were it was part of the suit. Even if it was the wearer's quirk, Eraserhead couldn't see his body and thus couldn't cancel his quirk.
A short hum sounded off as the glow in the palm reached its peak and then a beam of energy shot out. Eraserhead tried to dodge out of the way, however, a flash of pain shot through his body leaving him unable to move. Eraserhead wasn't willing to accept defeat, not at a time his student needed him the most.
However, as the beam got closer, Eraserhead knew there was nothing he could do. Suddenly a figure landed right in front of him. The figure used its body to shield Eraserhead from the beam without a yell or scream. Yet Eraserhead closed his eyes and waited for a second. Inhale. Another second, exhale. Eraserhead opened his eyes and found himself still alive.
Eraserhead looked up and saw Gizon with a golden biblical light around him standing his ground against the beam. When Gizon had seen Eraserhead engage the metal giant, he was ready for a one-sided smackdown. That's what he had seen, but wasn't in favor of the person he wanted. He watched as his favorite pro hero was easily tossed around and unable to defend himself. So when the palm of the metal giant began to light up. Gizon knew he needed to engage, even if some secrets were revealed. So pouring all the energy he had gotten by jumping down the mountain into his leg, Gizon rocketed towards Eraserhead and landed six feet in front of his teacher.
Gizon had his hands out in front of him and had his legs braced as if he was stop a run away boulder. Gizon The beam hit Gizon's hand and he could feel his quirk beginning to absorb the energy, but the heat and kinetic force were too much. Gizon tried to anchor himself by strengthen his legs but he was till slowly being pushed back as he feet dug up trenchs. The heat escape past Gizon's hand and Gizon felt his gym shirt and pants catch on fire and he could feel his skin beginning to heat up. He had to think of something fast as his quirk was filling up faster than he could expend it.
"No, I refuse to let you hurt my teacher." Gizon said, as he continued to push against the energy beam. He couldn't dodge it as then it would hit Eraserhead, and Gizon couldn't make any ground pushing against the energy beam. He need an equal force to push against the energy beam, that should cause the two force to cancel each other out. Gizon looked at his hand, as punch with all his strength back by his quirks' energy should be enough to match, maybe eeven overpower the energy,
Gizon continued to hold back the energy beam with his left hand as he drew back his right hand. A yellow biblical glow surrounded Gizon's body and then began to condense around Gizon's fist as he pooled all his strength into his right arm. As Gizon's fist fully closed, the biblical glow around it turned a hue of gold. Gizon's breath began labor but he finished the job by punching his right arm back into the energy beam
The force from Gizon's punch meet the energy beam and began to push it back. And then with a clap of thunder the two force battling against one other clash in the middle and disappeared as niether could no longer overpower the other.
Yet that wasn't the end of it. Gizon could feel pain coming form his entire body, and he had to use all his will power to stay on his feet. He fought through the pain and forced his quirk energy to begin to heal his skin. With the energy beam gone, Eraserhead could now get a good view of Gizon, and his student didn't look right. Gizon's skin was then revealed to be badly burnt, his white t-shirt was on fire and his gym pants were slowly burning away to be shorts. Eraserhead thought he had failed his student. He expected Gizon to fall out, but then Gizon's skin began to slowly heal until it was a normal tone of color
As Gizon stood then making himself stay conscious he felt his skin slowly cooled off and became stitched back together. Then after a few seconds the pain was gone and Gizon coughed out a small puff of smoke. He then stared down the metal villain and said, "Okay, ow. That hurt a lot more than I was expecting." Then Gizon glanced over his shoulder, "How are you doing back there Eraserhead? That initial hit seemed to have some force behind it."
"Hisahito, what are you doing?" Eraserhead couldn't believe his eyes. Gizon's quirk file, while extremely vague, mentioned Gizon being able to absorb energy and use it in different ways. However, it never mentioned Gizon used his quirk's energy to heal himself. Gizon's actions were irrational and dangerous, but he seem to know what he could take and his action had saved Eraserhead
"Making sure my favorite pro hero doesn't get killed." Gizon said as he looked over his shoulder at Eraserhead, "So how about you let me take this guy, while you rest up." Without waiting for a response Gizon turned back to the Metal giant and then began walking towards the villain. As he walked he ripped off the burnt remains of his gym shirt and threw it to the ground. That was two shirts within two weeks, "I've got some energy to burn."
"Impossible, that blast was 50 percent strong. You should be a corpse now." The villain seemed to notice the healed skin, "You have hyper regeneration, so that's how you were able to survive the blast."
"Maybe, maybe not. The only thing that matters is you hurt my teacher. I'll return the favor, tenfold." Gizon said as his voice took a bit more serious tone though not as much as he had when protecting Momo and Jirou. Gizon suddenly stopped and shifted into an offensive stance as his eyes started to glow yellow. Before the metal villain had a chance to attack, Gizon smiled and rushed forwards.
With the built-up force from absorbing the blast, Gizon's speed made him hard to track. However the suit, or more specifically as Gizon suspected, the sensors in the suit were able to track his speed. As soon as he got into reach, both hands of the suit clasped together and swung down like a hammer. Gizon knew normally he would be able tank the hit, but with all the energy he had absorbed from the energy blast Gizon knew his quirk was near its limit. And if he went over his limit he would pass out and be defenseless
Not wanting that, Gizon quickly sidestepped the attack and got in close. Where the midsection of the suit was at the perfect height for Gizon to land a hard punch. Gizon planted his forward foot, directed his quirk's energy into his arm that it gained a yellow glow as he rotated into the punch. The hit landed and Gizon felt the metal dent, then warp, then finally completely shatter under the force being exerted upon it.
The rest of the suit felt the monument and went flying back. It hit the ground and began sliding, its massive figure leaving trenches as its weight carved out the ground. Once the suit stopped it picked itself up with its part moaning under the weight. The head of the suit rose and looked at Gizon, who was wearing a grin, "A weapon can be destructive and powerful but if it's easily destroyed then it's useless. I mean just look at your suit. I mean one well placed punch and the integrity was completely destroyed. My strength might be above average but you're worthless suit of junk won't be able to face most top 50 heroes."
"You brat!" The man from within the suit yelled, his voice coming over the speakers and from the hole Gizon had just made, "I'll make you pay for that."
"You can make me try, but in the end you'll fail. I'll even let you get in a free hit" Gizon said, holding his hands out to the side. As if enticing the villain to attack him. He had put all of his quirk's energy into his attack and could do it with a refill.
Both hands of the suit raised and the palms hummed like before. Gizon's eyebrow raised a bit. He had taken on one energy blast at once and survived, but he wasn't completely confident in taking on two at once.
"Let's see how you deal with this, you brat." The suit yelled as two beams shot out of the palms. Gizon dodged the attack and began running forwards to get to the suit. The beams followed Gizon and he jumped over the first one and as soon as he hit the ground he slid under the second one. Gizon quickly got back on his feet and continued running towards the metal villain. As Gizon ran his hand over the beam, his quirk absorbed all its heat and allowed Gizon to speed up.
As Gizon got in close to the metal villain he was prepared to have to dodge the beams of energy to get in close, but then the glowing eyes and the beams of energy went off. The sound of the suit losing power reached Gizon's ears and told him he was good to attack. So Gizon increased his speed and drop kicked the metal suit away.
Gizon directed his attack to the hole he had already caused in the side of the suit. So as the suit hit the ground repeatedly as it skipped backwards, it began to break part and pieces went flying. The suit rolled to a stop and was slumped over as it was sitting down in exhaustion.
"I'm not finished." Yelled the villain from within the suit, but then the armor over the arms began to disintegrate. Gizon looked at the disintegration, it was the same what had happened to the front gate of UA. Gizon had been ready, it wasn't the media but this 'Shigaraki', "Shigraki what are you doing?"
"You were given a chance to demonstrate and you couldn't even kill a kid." Shigaraki walked around the suit, keeping his hand pressing against the suit, until all of the armor over the arms was gone. He then withdrew his hand and shook them as if trying to shake off dust.
"I wasn't finished, Shigaraki." The man within the suit said with a distressed tone of voice.
"Master says I can destroy whatever I want to and I didn't like your suit. However, Master seems to have plans for you." Kurogiri appeared next to Shigaraki, "What are you doing."
"Some students and Thirteen managed to dodge my initial attack. I managed to put Thirteen out of commission, but one of them managed to escape." Kurogiri explained.
Shigaraki yelled, "If you weren't on our way out of here, I would kill you. Kurogiri teleports Mr. Sutein to Master. I'll let Master deal with him. And Nomu, deal with the student that's running up."
