Colour Coded (BNHA fanfic ft my OC)

Kny test 3

" Begin!" The first match was Inosuke against Tanjiro. The blows were exchanged at a speed that were barely visible to the naked eye.

" So fast. I can't even follow them with my eyes." Deku muttered.

" Neither can I." Aizawa said as he tried to assist by watching Zenitsu and Kanao's match. It was impossible to follow. Kanao won, being somehow faster than Zenitsu. While Tanjiro and Inosuke had broken their wooden swords.

" Good. Now move on to hand combat. " Tengen instructed and they did as they were told. Inosuke's attacks were low and flexible like a wild animal on fours. But Tanjiro's movements were like a dance, elegant and powerful. The fight was no easier to follow but could be seen a little more clearly. The kind of experience they had went way beyond any of the students. They were the true definition of going beyond.

" Damn it!" Inosuke cursed as he staggered back. " You and your stupid headbutts. Don't you know you're forehead's harder than steel?" He was right, the sound it made when their heads connected was so loud. Even Inosuke's head was bleeding.

" Ah, sorry. I got caught up in the moment." Tanjiro apologized.

" This isn't the drum demon house, idiot!" He screamed before his eyes rolled back and he fell.

" Amazing." Zenitsu managed to say. " He didn't crack his skull this time." Just about everything these people did were clearly way ahead of them. " Are you guys okay?"

" Y-Yeah," Denki stammered. " It's just that, you guys are really strong. Do you all have similar quirks or something?"

" We aren't as weak to rely on our quirks for strength. Most of us don't have quirks actually. Because if I did," Tengen pulled up his left sleeve. " It would've been much harder to lose a hand. Do you know the kind of abilities that existed before quirks?" He asked them.

" Of course you don't, it is a hidden history. One can only describe it as an inheritance. It does mutate or vary. It is the same for each person in the family. The only thing you can call it is an ability. Like tongue rolling, it's both common and uncommon." He summarised. " But the rest that we can do is called a breathing technique. It takes years of concentration and training to master one breath. The breaths themselves branch from the original breath. The best among us are given the title of pillars."

" Since your training these kids," Aizawa spoke up. " I'm assuming that you are a pillar yourself."

" Oh, no I'm retired. I used to be the sound pillar." He told them.

" That's so cool." Uraraka said. " So you guys just learn how to breath?"

" It's a bit more than that, I guess." Zenitsu continued. " It really takes a lot of practice."

" Are there other pillars?" Deku asked. Tengen pointed to the four exchange students. " Wait, all of them?"

" Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Inosuke threatened. " Behold, I'm the strongest in my breath!"

" You're the only one using the beast breath." Zenitsu stated.

" Shut up! I don't see you developing you're own breath!"

" I suppose we should introduce our hero names which we all decided are our pillar titles." Tanjiro began. " I'm the Sun Pillar, Inosuke's the Beast Pillar, Zenitsu's the Thunder Pillar and Kanao-chan's the Flower Pillar." He explained to his new classmates. " There's also the Wind, Stone, Love, Snake and Water Pillars. But they'll visit sometime soon to further our training." Tanjiro's smile began to fall as he looked down. " There used to be Mist, Butterfly, Fire and several people who would've made it as pillars but, they've passed on."

" I see." All Might said. " You people are amazing."

" Amazing?" Uzui questioned. " There were people much better than me." He raised his hand before Tanjiro could speak as to not interrupt what he had to say. " I've seen a fourteen year old boy become a pillar just months after picking up the blade, even when he was cut in half he still fought. I've known a man whose will of flame inspired many youths. I've met the woman who couldn't cut down anyone but develop different ways to fight. I've seen a boy who had to cut down the very person he called a brother to avoid dying even when his master committed sepuku." Zenitsu flinched and clutched his haori. " I've seen a boy raised by wild boars, fight for the death of his mother." Inosuke froze. " A girl sold by her family become a leader." Kanao didn't move. " And most importantly, there's a boy who lost everything, his entire family and had his own sister poisoned by demon blood. I'm not worth being called amazing. These kids have earned their title in ways you can't imagine."
