Light of His Life

Chapter 41: Game Start

The TV plays a new station with the newscaster beginning, "Welcome back to our Summer Special. 'All Might: The Journey from Number One Hero to UA High School Teacher.' Today, we'll be looking back on All Might's achievements, and his incredible rise to fa—" Kurogiri turns the TV off and looks over at Shigaraki.

I've figured it out. Why the Hero killer pisses me off so much. And why those UA brats drive me crazy. It's because of All Might. And that stupid grin, as though he doesn't have a care in the world. Smiling thoughtlessly. As if there's no one he can't save. Like he's undefeatable, Shigaraki thinks to himself before leaving the bar without a word.

Izuku Midoriya. Quirkless until middle school, when he suddenly manifested a power. After enrolling at UA High, he distinguished himself by finishing in the top eight at their world-famous sports festival. Then, during the Hosu incident, he and his friends fought the Hero killer, Stain......and won. Afterward, the Hero killer chose to spare the child's life. Izuku Midoriya was acknowledged by Stain, the man seeking out true heroes, as worthy. He judged Tomura Shigaraki quite differently, Kurogiri muses as he looks down at a picture of Midoriya from the sports festival.

Just picture it. A world without the Symbol of Peace. I'll show society just how fragile their sense of safety is, Shigaraki thinks to himself as he walks alone in the dark alley way.

        Now that our intense first semester at UA High is over, me and my classmates are out for summer vacation. The start of vacation at I-Island was supposed to be relaxing but was far from it, and now there's not really time to make up for anything relaxing. We've got a training camp in the woods coming up. In order to be as prepared as possible, the rest of my time has been focused on exercising and developing my Quirk more. Today, however, is the day that us girls in class decided to meet up for some fun at the school's pool. Surprisingly, I have been excited for this little outing and grab my school assigned bathing suit quickly to meet up with them.

"Vlad," Shota Aizawa says, "We have to increase each of the students' Quirks this summer."

"Agreed. Why don't you start by giving me a rundown of all of Class A's abilities?" Vlad, teacher of class 1-B, asks.

"If I must. Let's start with Yuga Aoyama. His Quirk is Navel Laser. It's... basically, a bellybutton laser. Then we have Mina Ashido. Quirk: Acid. She secretes a corrosive substance that melts targets. Tsuyu Asui. Her Quirk is Frog. And she can do pretty much everything a frog can. Tenya Iida is the class rep. Quirk: Engine. The engines in his calves grant him super speed. There's Ochaco Uraraka. Her Quirk: Zero Gravity. She can make anything she touches weightless. Mashirao Ojiro. His Quirk is called 'Tail'. He can manipulate his tail as if it were an arm or leg. Moving on to Denki Kaminari. Quirk: Electrification. He discharges built-up electricity from his body. The spiky-haired one is Eijiro Kirishima. Quirk: Hardening. He can make his entire body stone-like. Koji Koda is the quiet type. Though, his Quirk is Anivoice. He uses it to control animals and insects, but it can't affect humans. Rikido Sato is strong. Quirk: Sugar Rush. He turns the sugar stored in his body into pure power. Then we have Mezo Shoji. His Quirk is Dupli-Arms. He can make other body parts appear on the tips of his tentacles. Kyoka Jiro. Her Quirk is called "Earphone Jack." Using the retractable plugs on her earlobes, she can distinguish between even the quietest of sounds. Plus, she can use the speakers on her legs to release incredibly devastating sonic bursts. Hanta Sero has a Quirk named "Tape." It has many uses. He can shoot sticky tape from his elbows and use it to apprehend his opponents, or simply to swing around through the air. Fumikage Tokoyami. Quirk: Dark Shadow. He commands a devastating bird-like shadow that gets wilder when there's no light. Endeavor's son, Shoto Todoroki. His Quirk is Half-Cold, Half-Hot. He can emit ice from the right side of his body, and flames from the left. The Stealth Hero, Toru Hagakure. Her Quirk: Invisibility. She's...invisible. The sports festival winner, Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: Explosion. He sweats a nitroglycerin-like substance and makes it blow up. Of course, there's Izuku Midoriya. His Quirk is Super Power. He can increase the power and physical abilities of isolated appendages, or his entire body. Akari Takahashi. Quirk: Mindfulness. She is able to telekinetically pick up large objects including other people and the read minds of others from a 200 yard radius," Aizawa sighs in slight annoyance as he thinks about the next student, "Minoru Mineta. His Quirk: Pop Off. The balls he pulls off his head can stick to anything, though he himself bounces off them. Finally, there's Momo Yaoyorozu. Her Quirk is Creation. She can create any non-living thing from the lipids in her body. And that's it. We should also go over Class B's Quirks—"
