MHA: Masterpiece [Izukuxharem]

Chapter 17: Izuku

Looking back, it's only been almost a day since my life became a swirling thing of crazy events.

First there was that random—by random, I mean totally out of the freaking blue—reunion with a long lost senpai who brought a friend along with a proposal. From my understanding at least, I think they wanted me to join their anti-society group sort of thing in exchange for helping the 'send off' of my 'lovely' homeroom teacher and the principal of our 'friendly' school.

I of course had to decline, wanting nothing to do with all this hero vs villain stuff they have going on.

So there's that.

Then, there's also last night which would definitely be the peak of weirdness so far. So many things happened and to think that it all began with me just running out of our apartment barefoot with nothing but PJs worn just to chase after Himiko-senpai too. Call it coincidence but I say it's all about bad luck at this point.

I nearly fell to my death a couple of times during the three-way chase we had from literal buildings to another, barely dodged a drop kick that would've smashed my face off the map during that short exchange with that masked lady, and apparently almost got killed by two members of a powerful clan who came from the past. Pretty messed up, yeah.

Not to mention everything that I discovered about myself and the happenings of the past with Sarada and Chakra being real and all.

Though even if I say those things, it turns out backtracking won't help me on what was happening right now. This was different than just those close calls, this actually took effect somehow overnight.

I looked myself in the only mirror of my room, snuggly clothed in what should've been an oversized hoodie and jogger pants both in green which seemed to fit a lot better now on my—I wanna say evolved but let's just go with improved—body right now.

"I'm taller and I look like I'm on some serious steroid issues, great." No kidding. I didn't like how I was short and skinny back then but somehow, seeing me suddenly turn into this walking masterpiece didn't feel right at all.

"You just have to accept it, plus come on it doesn't look that bad. I think it's a serious improvement compared to what you were..."

"I'm not sure if that's a compliment or just a way to hurt my ego but you're right I guess." I mean there wasn't really a way right now to figure out what happened besides just blaming it on the 'special chakra' that apparently—instead of just staying in my goddamn brain—circulates throughout my whole body. "I'm just not used to seeing me like... well this."

For once, I'll excuse the laughter she started in my head with an agreeing grin of my own. I'll admit that everything was so crazy, so random that it was starting to look like a big joke.

But life was still there. I still had my own future to look after outside of Sarada and her time travelling business so I set my head straight again, to divide the two things I had to worry about.

So I appreciate her saying "We should hurry up with your school related stuff though. The earlier we start tackling how to deal with the Otsutsuki from your end, the better. They must have a reason for crossing time and I think 'getting weaker' isn't exactly in their minds."

She was right and for a group of people who could bully people as strong as Sarada, I think my timeline—and the weak, delusional mutants living in it—would all be better off not experiencing them getting stronger. Yes secretly, I'm really thinking that this wasn't just a battle between this clan and the people from Sarada's time anymore. For all I know, even this time that I live in could be very much involved in this quarrel that quite literally defied the laws nature all for the sake of unprecedented chaos.
