Charged Reincarnation/Reincarnated as Denki Kaminari

Vol. 3, Chapter 6- U.A. Entrance Exam

In the dimly lit, oppressive basement, a solitary bulb casts a flickering, spectral glow, painting eerie, shifting shadows upon the dank surroundings. The air is thick with the haunting clinks of heavy chains, echoing against a rusted pipe, intensifying the growing sense of dread that saturates the room.

Enji Todoroki, also known as Endeavor, lies unconscious, a prisoner on the unforgiving, cold concrete floor, his body firmly bound by unyielding chains.

Gradually, Enji begins to stir, his eyes, once tightly shut, fluttering open, revealing a mixture of determination and bewilderment in his gaze. His heart quickens as he endeavors to decipher his grim surroundings.

"Where... am I?" he rasps, his voice barely escaping his parched throat.

The eerie silence is only interrupted by the occasional drip of water, its solitary sound reverberating through the oppressive darkness. Slowly, the puzzle pieces fall into place, and Enji becomes acutely aware of the dire predicament that envelops him.

Desperation courses through him as he tries to move, but the bitter realization washes over him like a relentless tide – he is chained, imprisoned by the unyielding shackles that refuse to relent. Panic surges as he attempts to activate his quirk to break free, yet, to his astonishment and dismay, his quirk remains obstinately dormant.

"What?" he exclaims in disbelief, the echoes of his voice lingering in the oppressive basement.

Despair grips Enji as he strains every sinew, flexing every muscle in a futile attempt to shatter the unrelenting chains that hold him captive. However, these chains, worn by the inexorable passage of time, prove to be a formidable adversary. Despite his herculean efforts, they stand unwavering, impervious to his strength.

"Tch!" Frustration and exhaustion wash over him as his valiant struggle yields no progress.

"It's pointless to resist," a feminine voice pierces the suffocating air.

His eyes dart to the source, revealing a young woman with raven-black hair and enigmatic feline eyes. Unbeknownst to Enji, this is Hana Shimura.

"What do you want?" Enji manages to rasp out.

A chilling smile curves upon Hana's lips, sending shivers down his spine. She approaches Enji, her fingers caressing his cheek.

"Your quirk... and your physique would be invaluable," Hana purrs, her words dripping with ominous intent. "Isn't that right, Doctor Garaki?"

A disembodied voice from the shadows responds, sending a shiver down Enji's spine, "Yes."

Meanwhile...

Denki, adorned in a black tracksuit with yellow stripes, stood in front of the grand entrance gates of U.A. High School, his eyes wide with awe.

The sight before him was nothing short of breathtaking. U.A. High School, renowned throughout the world as the pinnacle of hero education, stood as a testament to both architectural brilliance and the dreams of aspiring heroes.

The school building itself was a colossal structure, a magnificent fusion of modernity and tradition. Its facade featured a harmonious blend of sleek glass windows and ornate stone pillars, forming an imposing yet inviting entrance. The U.A. emblem, a symbol of hope and excellence, was emblazoned proudly above the main gate, glistening in the morning sun.

Lush, meticulously landscaped gardens stretched out in every direction, creating a vibrant and serene atmosphere. Cherry blossom trees lined the pathways, their delicate petals falling gently to the ground, creating a picturesque scene that seemed almost surreal. Vibrant flowers of all colors adorned the beds, adding a riot of hues to the greenery.
