A Bolt of Hope

Chapter 8 -Flash Forward-

[A/N]

Hey, y'all! Made this rather soon huh? Hope you guys don't mind, but the brain is going overdrive and I don't have any homework this week so I thought I'd try and finish up the arc this weekend. Hope y'all enjoy this chapter!

"Leizcio! There's a fire down at the market! Ready to put that new trick to work?" Tamashi asks through the earpiece Leizcio has.

"Of course!"

It's been a month since Leizcio went back into training. With the help of Tamashi, he's been able to train his quirk and mind. He's become more adept at his control with his energy, reducing the time it takes for him to direct it to the desired place. And with time as a vigilante, he's increased his ability to react quickly and make logical decisions quickly. There have also been some tricks he's been trying to get a grasp of, but are difficult, to say the least.

As Leizcio approaches the market, he evacuates whatever remaining people are inside and rushes back into the building. He takes a quick moment to remember the simulations that Tamashi put him through to master it. Just gotta move his arms fast enough.

As he starts to move his arms in a circular motion, a wind funnel begins to form around them. As he continues to move them, the fires slowly start to dissipate. The air that was feeding these fires slowly got sucked away. With the fires gone, he leaves the scene to an alleyway to catch his breath. He taps on his earpiece and talks to Tamashi about the situation.

"Tamashi! I actually managed to do it! Got everyone out and put out the fire!"

"Knew you could do it! Now it's getting late, time to call it a day!"

"Okay thank you Tamashi! Talk to you tomorrow!"

Leizcio runs to a secluded area near the cafe to change out of his vigilante clothes, and starts to head home, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Some days were just a lot more tiring than the others. Today was one of those days, but at least he was able to get rid of the fire. He also has been studying more as the UA exam is approaching, and there's definitely going to be at least a written test. At least that's what Lavania said. While the practical test is a huge factor, he can't ignore his academics.

As Leizcio entered the building, he saw pech run down the stairs to greet him. He starts bumping his head into Leizcio's leg, almost as if he was asking him where he was. Leizcio squats down and pets pech for a good while. He eventually heads back up with pech in company and sits down on the couch. He takes a few minutes, looking back at the past three months. Gaining a quirk has been a strange experience. Going from a quirkless teenager to one that can now go at superspeed. Yeah, kind of weird that he got used to that more or less. At least he can choose to up his speed perception whenever, and not stuck seeing things slowly forever. Either way, being a vigilante has been a strange but good experience. Sure he's had to deal with some weird situations, but he was able to act like a hero. Just illegally of course, but hey, that's what he's going to UA for right? Still feels weird that there's only a month left until the day of the entrance exam. He only hopes that he'll pass and get into the hero course.

"Hey Lei, how'd patrol go today?" Lavania asked entering the living room with two plates of chicken katsu curry, putting one on Leizcio's table.

"Pretty good, managed to put out my first fire today! But today felt more tiring than usual, maybe it's because of that. But I'll be good with a night of sleep." Leizcio said as he began to put something to watch on the tv.

They both were eating away at their curry, with pech just sitting there accompanying them. Luckily Leizcio doesn't have school to worry about for the time being. Just studying for the upcoming exam. Wait that reminds him,
