Ghost in the Machine

Chapter 3: To Battle Against Hatred

Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long to release a new chapter! I was busy with my Cirque De Fiction collection. Basically it's a collection of stories involving crossovers not many have attempted before. You'll find lots of unique stuff there so check it out when you can. Knack is finally going to be reunited with our crazy inventor Mei! Let's get started!

"It should be around here somewhere." Spoke the golem known as Knack while he ventured through the maze known as UA's halls. He was looking for the Support Course's homeroom to meet up with someone. Lunch period had yet to come which was when he had the best chance of finding his pink haired friend. The first thing had to do before that was to see the ones who could patch him up whenever he got damaged since Recovery Girl isn't an option.

His stone eyes soon laid upon the sign for the Support Course. 'Here we go.' He thought calming himself before opening the door to the classroom. It looked more like a craft shop than a normal classroom from the way it was designed. No single desks but multiple large tables specifically ones you see in workshops or lecture halls, a cabinet offering a variety of tool boxes along with a wall for tools that can't fit into a toolbox like powersaws, variety of computers no doubt for implementing code to more mechanical items or robotics, safety showers for dangerous chemical spills, a wardrobe for safety gear and cabinets of materials that were neatly labeled and safely contained.

If he was honest, the place felt like home since being raised by Gaius just made him more comfortable with their lab than an actual house. And he didn't feel much of freak there either. It probably was from how Gaius viewed him differently than average scientists who would rather treat Knack like an experiment or machine than a person or even a living creature.

The students who were working had safely stopped to look at him in what he could describe as admiration or awe even respect and humanity. "Um, hello. My name is Knack Magnus. I got a hall pass from my teacher saying that I was requested to come here." Knack said with a voice racked with nervousness. He wasn't used to the kind of looks these students were giving him than most of the people he met in life.

One of the students who was the only one with a mutant quirk walked up to him. This student was male and had an appearance to a snapping turtle humanoid who looked like a fighter from his bulk, sharp claws and fangs, he wore a pair of doctor glasses, had a violet mohawk, long tail and wore a lab coat made of sort of fiber that clearly wasn't fabric from what Knack glanced. Human violet eyes looked at his stone emerald as the beak curled up to a sincere smile.

"Welcome Magnus-san. My name is Donatello Una. I'm one of the two executives that help Power-san manage his class whenever he needs help." The turtle Donatello spoke with an honest bow. His voice sounded more Italian than Japanese. "Nice to meet you Donatello. I guess your from Italy going by your name and accent. I don't want to sound rude but you remind me of a character from an American cartoon my father showed me as a kid." Knack stated as Donatello chuckled.

"I'm glad someone still remembers that show and their characters. My parents named me after that very character since it was something that helped them meet each other. Many usually look at me like I'm crazy for choosing the Support Course than the Hero claiming my quirk is powerful for it. However I feel all different spectrums of people should find their own path. I prefer to help people without the path of pro-heroics." Donatello explained as Knack couldn't help but be impressed at his honesty.

"I don't think your crazy. In my opinion, it's quite noble. People are too busy focusing on Quirks that other solutions to problems are ignored. Technology, normal medicine and many other things have been forgotten because of it. Sure we have rescue heroes like Thirteen but sometimes Quirks aren't always the answer. Plus I wasn't really aiming for the Hero Course. I attended UA to keep a promise with someone close no matter what course I got." He explained as Donatello couldn't help but chuckle.
