Behind The Mask: A KamiJirou Story

Chapter 22: Ultimate Move Training.

(A/N: I'm going back and Editing the USJ chapter. If you read that before 2-4-21, You should go back and reread that. I only added like two sentences, but they're important for this chapter. Also, I realize I said Ultimate moves instead of Super moves last chapter, that was my bad.)

We all stood their, shocked. Super moves? Alright! As we pondered this, Ectoplasm started expanding more on this.

"Super moves are necessary if you are going to take the Provisional Licence Exam. They don't necessarily need to be finishing moves, or even offensive moves. All they need to do is give you an advantage in battle."

Oh I see. So my Indiscriminate Shock isn't an super move, because it actually leaves me at a disadvantage. Rather, an super move for me would be one that would leave me clearheaded while still affecting my enemy.

Midnight continued where Ectoplasm left off. "Some of you have already developed super moves, such as Iida's Recipro Burst, Or Bakugou's Howitzer Impact."

We nod in agreement to this, then find a place to begin training. We each got a clone of Ectoplasm to train with. I began training, starting off trying to simply aim my lightning straight up. I more or less succeeded at this as I continued. I had to stop a couple times because I short-circuited, but I continued throughout the day. Once training was over, I was exhausted. I went to bed almost immediately after coming back to the dorms.

The next day, I thought over what I was going to do. Then I remembered the USJ attack, and what Jirou said.

"You should have put something on your costume to help you aim!" Jirou says as she blasts a villain with soundwaves from her boots.

I stand up quickly at this revelation.

That's it! I need to modify my costume!

"Ectoplasm-sensei, can I go to the Development Studio? I need to ask Power Loader for something!" I said, excited at the potential of this idea.

"Sure, Kaminari-shonen." Ectoplasm said. I booked it out of there, and ran all the way to the Studio. When I walked in, I saw Kiribro there.

"Bro!" I yelled.

"Bro!" He yelled back. We clasped hands, then chest bumped. I turned and saw Power Loader and Hatsume.

"Hey guys! I've got some ideas for my costume!" I said.

"What is it?" Power Loader said.

"I need something to help me aim my electricity." I said.

"Okay. I think we can come up with something for that." Power Loader says. He looks at Hatsume, who's scribbling down a bunch of stuff on a note pad.

He looks back up to me and says, "Come back in about two days, and it should be ready."

"Alright, cool!" I say as I run out the door. I run back to the gym and begin training again. I start practicing aiming without any help, just trying to shoot it out of my finger. I point my index finger forward, my thumb is pointing up, and my middle finger is pointing to the left. I'm basing it off of the Right Hand Rule of Electromagnetism.

As I train, I'm shooting it forwards, but it still spreads out. It's not very accurate, but it's a start. I continue doing this for a while, then it's time to stop training. As I walk back to the dorms, I get excited as I look forward to being able to aim my lightning, instead of being a burden in battle like I normally am.

I walk into the dorms and head straight for the kitchen, my stomach growling like crazy. I pull some leftover pizza from the fridge and start mowing down, not even nuking it in the microwave.

"Kaminari-kun! Are you eating all the leftover pizza? There's still six pieces left!" Iida said, waving his hands.

"Yup, I am." I say, stuffing half a slice in my mouth.

"Well, you look hungry. And you went to bed early last night, so you didn't get any. So I guess that's fair." He says. I nod and continue on up to my room. I pull out my phone and start watching a movie, still eating my pizza. Once the movie is over, I go to bed.

The next morning is the third day of training, and the last day with my old costume. I focus mainly on training my quirk, like I did during the Training Camp. I grab a high capacity battery, and start training. By the end of the day, I get up to 2 million volts, and hold that for about 25 seconds, before short-circuiting again.

When we go back to the dorms, I grab a quick bite to eat and then pass out again.

The next day, I wake up and get dressed as fast as possible, then run out of my room at top speed. I grab a protein shake from Kiri for breakfast, then book it to the Development Studio. When I walk in, I see Hatsume.

"Hey, Hatsume-chan! How's my costume coming?" I ask.

"It's all done! Here it is!" She says, pulling out my new costume. She holds up a circular bracer with a three offshoots, one in front and two in back.

"This is your shooter. It shoots out pointers that attract electricity. It has a dial to activate which pointer you want to be aiming at." She says, then holds up a red disk.

"This is a pointer. If it's within ten meters of you, your electricity will go straight towards it, no matter whats in the way. If your opponent is between you and your pointer, they will get shocked." She explains. Next she holds up a blue visor.

"This will update you on where your pointers are, the distance, and which pointer you are set to shoot." She says. Last, she holds up a belt.

"This belt contains your pointers." She says.

"The rest of your costume is more or less the same, with a few minor design changes." She concludes.

"Alright thanks!" I say, grabbing the costume. I run out the door and run to the locker room. I put on my new costume, and load a pointer into my shooter. I walk into Gym Gamma and go over to my clone. I shoot my pointer on the platform behind him, then shoot a lightning bolt straight through him into the pointer. He dissolves, and then I shout down to Ectoplasm.

"Hey, Ectoplasm-sensei, can I get a new clone?" I yell. He sends up a new clone, which I begin talking to.

"All right. So, I finally got something to help me aim. I'm going to be practicing this for a while." I said, then began practicing with my new gear. I ended up deciding I wanted to name this new super move, "Sharpshooting".

I practiced switching active pointers, shooting pointers on the run, rapid fire pointers, and other techniques, as well as different voltages. I was getting pretty good at this. I felt fairly confident by the end of the day. I walked back to the dorms and grabbed some instant ramen. I brought it to my room and used the microwave I had in there. Once I was done eating I went to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, I was prepared for a tough day of training. This would be our last day of training before the Provisional License Exam. I was getting ready do finish developing my super move, Sharpshooting.
