(Rewrite) The Puppeteer

Chapter 6

This is an edited version of what I originally wrote, so if there are parts where it's in first person rather than third, that's why. Anyway, enjoy the edited U.A. Tournament part 1!

As everyone is shocked by the group standing outside the classroom, Izuku just glares at the people standing just outside the door. He's tempted to use his quirk to get them out of the way and back to where they're supposed to be, but only tempted. He sees Bakugou go in front of the large group and everyone in the room mentally face-palms as he starts talking to them. Izuku just continues to glare at everyone and notices Bakugou look at him from the corner of his eye, partially expecting the boy to snap as his eyes narrow a bit at the blonde. He starts to walk through the crowd as the rest of the class yells at him for angering the other classes. Izuku knows he would have said more if it weren't for him glaring at the hothead. He's smart, he knows not to piss the green haired boy off, and he sure as hell knows not to let him get close enough to touch him, too bad he doesn't need to touch him to activate his quirk.

That's a big difference between Izuku and many other people with control quirks, they usually have to touch someone or get them to answer a question like Uraraka and Shinso. Whereas Izuku technically doesn't need to move a single muscle, he just does it to make sure it's aimed correctly that's the only difference. If he so wished, he can make everyone and everything in a building do what he wants by letting his quirk off like he did at the USJ.

Izuku grits his teeth and walk through the crowd, a boy with purple hair catching his interest. He smirk as the boy stares at him. But it doesn't last long as he turns his attention to Bakugou.

"BAKUGOU!" Izuku yells and sees him flinch. "STOP MAKING A GOD DAMN RUCKUS WHENEVER YOU WANT!!" Everyone watches as he seems to cower as Izuku walks past him pressing himself close to the walls while the green haired boy walks down the center of the hall. He thinks I'm going to take control of him, even though I haven't controlled him in a long time. Izuku grits his teeth as he sees his old friend's reaction. Everyone is amazed with how he acts when it comes to me, but honestly, if they had experienced the side of me he did, they would all be scared, even Todoroki, who doesn't seem to care for anything. I sometimes catch him looking at me, as if trying to figure me out. I don't want to be someones pet project just so they can figure out why I am the way I am.

He starts to get more pissed as he thinks of how everyone looks at him. Like he's the most unapproachable person, he only seem that way because Bakugou, the idiot who never shuts up, shuts up around Izuku and actually COWERS. Izuku goes to ask permission to use one of the training areas and when he gets permission he heads straight over there.

As a robot comes out, Izuku lets it get close before placing a hand on it and activating his quirk to grab control of the metal and the circuits underneath. He does this with more robots, including a zero pointer he made destroy itself. He grabs his backpack as he finishes and goes home. Sure, he's been training his quirk, but not with strong enough enemies to improve it any.

Izuku grits his teeth as he feels eyes on him. He looks behind him to see someone watching him from a window of the school. He turns back in the direction of home and continues walking, uninterested. He'll learn who it is eventually anyways, so there's no point to using his quirk to see who they are.

What he didn't expect the day of the festival was for Todoroki of all people to proclaim war on him. Not only that, but it was in front of everyone while they were relaxing and getting ready to be called out.

"Where is this coming from Todoroki? I'm sure I haven't done anything to you to deserve this," Izuku has his hands in his pockets as he looks bored at the heterochromatic teen. "Oh! It must be because All Might wanted to talk to me!" Izuku takes one hand out of his pocket to point at the teen. He and All Might had talked a bit about Izuku's quirk, Izuku even demonstrating a bit with his chopsticks and bowl. He doesn't mention not needing to touch the items though, just not really feeling like telling him that bit of info. He needed to keep some surprises for the festival. "You are the son of Endeavor right? Hm, that can't have been a good time."
