The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 26 - Hero Killer: StainPLEASE READ THIS:-
A/N: Someone told me yesterday that MC is insulting that name Magneto by only using iron sand. He is much more like Gaara than Magneto.
If MC doesn't uses iron sand or something then he would need to use private properties like car, trucks and stuff as his weapon which would end up destroying his reputation. And reputation in My Hero Academia world is very important.
Now he can also rip apart bridges and stadiums like Magneto did in movies but the MC didn't find appropriate scenario to that. If he does that for smallest stuff than he might end up being marked as a villian who causes destruction.
Magneto in both comics and movies is known for his agenda to raise war against non-mutants. So, to become like Magneto he must declare war against people who don't have Quirk, right?
If you think clearly you will also know that the MC can't use most of his powers because of society here. Yes, it is true that heroes cause destruction sometimes but it is only when they fight with villians. MC needs metal to do slighest of things so he can't go on destroying stuff so he can take metal from them. So, he found a peaceful and much more versatile way to use his powers.
As for his powers he is growing them in a slight pace. I plan to give him the power of railgun by the time of finals.
Then someone told me that I have him the 2nd Quirk because of the harem but it isn't that. It would be revealed later, I don't want to ruin the surprise for now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uhmm... so what now?" After finally calming down my nerves when Rumi broke the sudden and unexpected news. I was finally able to ask her the most important question for now.
"Nothing! We came to know that you have another Quirk and that's it, but I am going to increase your training slightly so that it could match up with your boosted body". Rumi said. After resting for sometime we again resumed our training.
Now that she had pointed out I have to agree that I lasted a few minutes more than I did yesterday. This same thing happened when I was training for the Aegis Shield. I praticed for a few hours and gained one more minute, it didn't seem that odd at that moment but now I think that it was odd to suddenly gain massive improvents in just a few hours
I will say that I am quite happy with Rumi's attitude. It didn't seem like she would blab about my 2nd Quirk to anyone. But if it was a Quirk like Rumi guessed, the machine should have showed it too. right? But it didn't show it, so could it be that I awakened this Quirk later. I know that this Quirk wasn't given to me by God and could be my own Quirk...
Hah...!! I don't have resources to know that now. I could apply for another Quirk test with Rumi's help but I don't want to draw anymore attention. I have no problem showing off my powers or Quirk, I am just worried for my parents, just for my dad since he works away from home. If villians could find out about the schedule of the most secure school in all Japan then gathering a student's information won't be too hard for them.
Finally our training for today was over and Rumi allowed me to go back. But before I went off she stopped me.
"Tomorrow I will show you how to fight hand to hand and then take you in city with me for the rounds. We might find some villian and I will be able to show you how pro-heroes work" Rumi said to me.
"Ok, good night Rumi. Take care" I spoke while waving at her and walked away from her house. I was again dead tired today because Rumi romped up my training regimen. After returning home I followed the same routine like yesterday and after dinner went to cuddle with Momo. Again we talked about how we spend out day and I told her about my 2nd Quirk.
"So, Rumi thinks that you have another Quirk?" Momo asked me again for confirmation.
"Yes, she is quite sure that bodies of normal humans or humans with Quirk like mine don't react like my body does" I told her.
"Well, it would certainly explain your regularly increasing stamina" she spoke and giggled.
While speaking like this we went to sleep but the next day wasn't exactly like the previous day.
I was woken up by a flash of light, I somehow opened my eyes and saw Momo's mom standing in front of the bed while holding her mobile. I froze and sub-concioisly started shaking Momo. Momo rubbed her eyes and looked at me. She gave me a kiss but that resulted in another flash. This seemed to bring out Momo of her sleepiness.
She froze too who she saw her mom clicking pictures of us. Momo's face immediately turned bright red. "What are you doing here mom?!" Momo screamed and demanded.
"Ooh... I was getting pictures for your phto album. Ah... my daughter grew up so fast" Momo's mom said like it was the most normal thing to do. While speaking she placed her hand on cheek and started to dream about her small girl who grew up. Wow... rich people are truly odd. After that she didn't even pay us any mind and walked out of the room still dreaming.
"Your mom must really love you..." that is all I was able to say before Momo disappeared into the bathroom. For a moment I thought that she teleported. Well... after that I sneaked back into my house. Nothing like what happened in Momo's house happened in mine.
After breakfast both me and Momo were headed towards our own destination. After almost two hours I finally reached Rumi's house. Rumi, like she said yesterday, she showed me some hand to hand moves which generally could be used to surprise enemies who would think that I would be sitting duck without my Quirk. She showed me a lot of more moves, like any other good teacher or trainer. From what I remembered from the mange she should have been a battle maniac butbit didn't seem like that.
We praticed the moves for sometime until Rumi's phone started to ring. She accepted the call, it was from Hero Association and was immediately informed that there was an attack of Hosu and she was being called there.
"Come on let's go there, maybe you could help or even learn some stuff" Rumi said. Woah... so Hosu incident was already happening.
I immediately made a huge iron surf board like I made in the first event of the tournament. I extended my hand towards Rumi, who hestitantly took it and climbed on the board. Her feet were immediately straped by iron. "This will be much fatser than any other means" I told her to which she nodded. She pulled out her phone and marked Hosu on her map.
Soon, the board rose up above the forest and with a sudden acceleration we flew towards Hosu, Rumi was standing behind me so the sudden acceleration made her grab my waist which I didn't mind in the slightest. I kept increasing the speed but it didn't bother Rumi anymore but she didn't remove her hand from my waist.
I would be adding a pair of glasses on my suit. If I fly like this, the air will always keep bothering me. I covered my eyes slightly to protect them from incoming air. After just 16 minutes of flight in breakneack speed we finally reached Hosu. Since we were in the air we were able to look around quickly. Like in canon there were three nomus but I wasn't able to find Stain or that 'man-child'.
"Take me to that monster" Rumi pointed towards a nomu which heroes were trying to stop but they were strong enough. It wasn't the flying nomu or the muscular nomu. It was the middle one, she asked to drop on a building nearby which I did. I removed the straps on her feet and she landed on the roof.
"You wait here and watch for now, I know you could help me deal with that monster but if you do the police will try to charge you with illegal use of Quirk" Rumi said and jumped off the roof towards the Nomu. She saw that I was about to protest but she stopped me. Damn... she is right. Police in this world is exactly same to the people in ministry of improper use of magic by minors in Harry Potter world. Even if it was to stop villians they would just charge the case and be done with it.
Then, how I am supposed to fight Stain? Well... I could just say he attacked me and I defended myself. Yeah... that would work and even other pro-heroes would also support me.
I looked at Rumi who seemed to like having the time of her day fighting the Nomu. She was fighting it with a huge grin on her face. I fucking take it back... she is definitely a battle maniac. I then closed my eyes ans started to sense for metal objects which resembled a sword. Only after a few seconds I found the only one sword in that area. The board immediately turned in that direction and flew towards it. I reached over a dark alley where I landed.
"You came to a wrong place in a wrong time, kid" a cold voice was heard from the alley.
"I know you, you are that metal kid. Now, run off to where you came from and bring some fake heroes with you if you want to be useful" the cold voice was again heard but this time Stain walked out of the shadows while talking to me. I have to say, he has that scare factor. Even if he is not releasing his aura I could clearly feel his bloodlust. My flasks immediately opened and started to leak iron sand.
"I am not someone who wastes his time speaking unnecessary things" this was only thing I spoke before the iron sand rushed in his direction and some iron sand made a boundary around so that he can't get to me easily. The iron sand kept coming out of my body plates. Stain was fast... not fast like Rumi but his insticts were like wild animals. Before even I launched an attack he would notice it.
But that wasn't enough, he started to gain scratches and gashes on his body as I kept attacking due to my active role in attacking he was unable to even launch an attack towards me. I saw that he tried to make some distance between us but I collapsed the wall behind him stopping his retreat. I raised my hand and the walls beside me cracked and I pulled out metal rods from them. I placed those rods above me so I could stop him from jumping away.
Stain was getting more and more frustrated, as this moment I was honestly playing with him. He had already started to release his bloodlust, even if it was scary it didn't bother me much. Stain knew that he couldn't win against me and decided to run away from me, he slashed his balde at the metal rods so he could make a gap and run away but this was all the time I needed. I sent another volley of iron dust at him and was finally able to catch both of his legs.
I immediately closed my palm crushing both of his legs. Stain let out a blood curling scream before dropping on the ground.
"You are not a hero... not at all, you must be purged" He said while throwing knives at me. The knives stopped as soon as left his hand.
"You are stupid to even think that metal would ever harm me". That was all I said before punching him with a fist of iron sand to knock him out.
"Now, I would have to dump him on the police and tell some half-truths." I thought while stroking my chin...
