The lord of serpents | mha DISCONTINUED

Chapter 14

The next two years were an emotional rollercoaster for Izuku

In the end, he couldn't figure out what exactly his second form meant.

His quirk was called Conduit, but that didn't really suit anymore.

He'd have to think of a better name when he managed to figure out more.

But the day after, the whole of Serpent's Nest was going crazy.

Everyone thought that Jörmungandr would send a henchman out to do the job he'd agreed to, not show up in the flesh!

This was important information because the leader wasn't just some guy behind a computer, but someone who could fight.

It didn't really help that somehow it had gotten out that the police didn't believe Mirasi because she was under the influence of drugs, while the husband made it clear to anyone who asked that she wasn't a junkie.

That made people question just what his quirk was.

The only thing they were 100% sure of was that it was powerful.

So this prompted multiple people to seek out Jörmungandr if the situation got dire.

There were also people who wanted him to join their gang or help them do robberies and such, but we don't talk about them.

Or how they were caught by the police because of an anonymous tip off.

But for the people who genuinely needed help, he looked if there was anyone who was able to.

Showing himself was an absolute last resort.

He only showed himself twice after the first time.

Those were, of course, only after he had learned some basic fighting techniques.

He couldn't improve all that much considering that he didn't have anyone to spar with, but it was a good start.

The only option he could think of was vigilantism, but that was downright stupid.

If he did that, the police and pro heroes would be after him and he was in no way, shape or form confident that he could escape them.

Though that didn't mean that he didn't experiment with his second form.

The first thing he did after learning to walk was focusing on using the snakes' quirks.

What he'd figured out was that he could use multiple of their quirks at once, but that took more energy. Another thing was that if he used a quirk, the snake which it belonged to could still use it but it was weakened. When he was in his second form and wasn't using their quirks, the snakes would be able to use them at triple the normal power.

And all those numbers went up with practice.

So he went ahead and called it his assault mode, seemed pretty accurate.

It would be easier for him if his second form wasn't already recognized as Jörmungandr, then he'd be able to use his normal form as that and sign up for self-defense classes.

He already had way too much of an allowance and it wasn't like his family would notice him coming home later.

But alas, it was far too late for that.

There wasn't any time for pondering about all of this anyway, he needed to get to school.

One of his snakes warned him as he was getting dressed that today would be very bad.

He had a very ambiguous sensing quirk that kinda worked like future sight, but only gave him weird feeling that he couldn't really put his finger on.

So the fact that he could tell that today wasn't going to be good set Izuku on edge.

Helping Ivory, Shrow and a light yellow snake called Dandelion with a quirk called anti-presence, which made it much easier for him to blend in, wrap around his chest along with his tail as he readied himself.

It was far too early for his parents to be up, so he could quickly make his breakfast and hang around the park for an hour and a half for school.

Already being in a bad mood, he decided to make himself an omelette and head to a cat cafe afterwards, there was this specific one with a quirked cat called Titan who wasn't scared of him.

The other cats ran off because they probably noticed all the snakes.

Before he went out he snagged a pastel purple snake with a barrier quirk, had Shrow shrink her, let her wrap around his hair and use herself as a hair tie.

This was the sole reason he'd grown his hair out, even went to a salon so it was waist length now and he could do more complicated hair styles where he could fit more snakes in.

Thinking about how absurd of a sentence that was, he headed out.

Not knowing that this was going to be one of the worst days of his life.
