Not a Quirk, It's Science

Chapter 6

Senku smirked as he held up the new machinery, it was far from finished, but it was something.

"What's that little gear tool?" Izuku asked, wiping off his sweat. Beside him, Katsuki chugged down some water, also soaked in his own perspiration. All Might, or rather Yagi – they know him as, simply looked on at the three teens.

They were having a break in training, which Katsuki joined after an offer from the freckled teen. They suggested Senku join as well, since it would be extremely helpful if he had even he slightest physical capabilities, but the scientist had basically given up on physical fitness, having accepted that his existence wasn't made for such a purpose.

"It connects this part with the main source of fuel, allowing it to–"

As Senku explained, Izuku stared at the tool curiously. He's never really had a fascination with machines, he liked analyzing quirks more than anything, how it could aid in battle, uses, etc. But how the other male seemingly made a whole, working machine out of garbage was fascinating.

"What does it do?"

"Nothing too complicated, it's supposed to release a certain amount of air pressure, similar to what All Might did, but I'm still looking to make it stronger and more accurate. But man, who knew quirks could be so convenient in this kind of thing! They are ten billion percent useful in making trinkets that would have otherwise taken thousands of years!" Senku grinned, although there was still the problem of heavy reliance of quirks, he will admit they make tasks more efficient. And so Senku being Senku, he will use whatever resources available to him.

Izuku tilted his head curiously "How does it do that? All Might used pure strength, although he did manipulate the way he positioned his body and the force of the blow, if I were to give a rough estimate–" he started muttering, but unlike what everyone else did and ignore him, Senku simply listened with his grin quickly widening.

"So you're telling me his quirk is actually increased strength? Physically only? But how does it do that? And how does it differ from body builders? Does the quirk allow his body to surpass limits that a normal human body would–"

Beside them, Bakugo threw a large piece of metal towards the pile he had made. Violently. Fucking smartasses.

It was yet again another peaceful dinner, they all ate while chatting happily.

"The papers are nearly sorted out, isn't that great brat!" Mitsuki grinned.

"Oh, I still can't believe this is happening, I'm so happy!" Inko looked close to tears.

Senku smirked, but had this happy little glint in his eyes "Sounds exhilarating" he said while letting out a light huff at their excitement.

"If we're quick, we can get this done by the end of the week! And you'll officially be Midoriya Senku!" Inko continued, a delighted smile on her face which made Mitsuki's eyes soften.

Yeah, fuck that bastard who left her, he's missing out.

"Oh yeah, did you two stop by the library today? I wanted to see if they have this book" Masaru piqued in.

"No, went to the beach. Some fuckers were cleaning it out" Katsuki answered.

"Oh? Isn't that nice! Volunteers?"

"The fucking guy who we met during the slime incident and some old blonde bitch"

"You mean that other boy who rushed in along with Senku?" The eldest male questioned, curious.

"He's pretty knowledgeable about quirks, it'd be useful to stay in contact with him" Senku commented.

Inko giggled "What a roundabout way to say you want to be friends, Senku-kun"
