Tensura Hero

Chapter 12

.

Currently, it was day two of the three-day break the school gave after the USJ incident. At the principal's request, I was in the School's gym to see what changes I had undergone since I'd absorbed the Nomu creature. Normally, I would do this by myself and record the result privately, but because I retained some of the memories from the Nomu's mind, the principal wants to be nearby in case I can recall something important.

.

"How are you feeling?" Nezu asked as he watched and recorded the results of the workout I was currently undergoing.

"Hardly any strain," I answered easily as I did one final rep with the weights I was using. "That makes 500 kilograms (1102 pounds), and I'm not even pushing myself. I feel like I can put 500 more on and just start to feel it."

"Very well, please move on to the next station, I want to see just how much you can exactly push yourself." The Principal stated as we moved over to a massive hydraulic press. "With this one, we can gauge just how much you can withstand."

.

I nod my head and get under the press. With a nod to Nezu, he started the machine and I started to push back. Minutes went by as I stood underneath the press, as the time went by Nezu was cranking up the pressure. Soon, after five minutes, Nezu called it quits since he could see I was starting to struggle. Once he released the pressure and turned off the machine, I got out and wiped the sweat from my face.

As we got to talking numbers, the iPad Nezu had beeped. Seeing as it was a video call, I stood back and let him take it. Nezu left the room to take the call, leaving me all alone. Since I've been testing for hours on end, I took the time to relax. I transformed into my slime form and sat underneath the cooler in the back of the room.

I ended up zoning out as what felt like a few seconds turned out to be almost an hour. I came to when I felt hot water get splashed on me. Seeing that it was Nezu who was the culprit, I let it slide. As I transformed back into my human form, Nezu asked me a question.

.

"Do you have any memories of these three people?" He asked as he showed me three pictures of three different people. Two men and a woman.

"The woman," I pointed to her, "She was a back alley prostitute. I have memories of her getting asked for a 'favor' before the memories get cut off. She had a shock-absorption quirk."

"Very well, that accounts for six people that have gone missing in the last month," Nezu hummed, "But we've only accounted for super-strength, regeneration, and shock absorption quirks. We're missing three others."

"We know the three quirks of the three still missing," I said as I agreed with him, "However, we still don't know if they were used to create more Nomus."

"You're correct," Nezu sighed, "It's best if we continue this another time as Yagi wishes to see you. That 'potion', as you call it, made from your distilled slime body, has had a miraculous effect of regenerating lost and damaged organs."

"I've told him time and time again that it was just my curiosity to see if it worked!" I complained as this was the third time he wished to thank me.

"Be that as it may, your quirk is very dangerous, for both Heroes and Villains," Nezu told me with a serious tone of voice, "If it gets public that you can do these things, there will be no amount of protection I can give you that will protect you."

"I understand."
