The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 40 - Quirk Training Camp (II)

After Mandalay showed up, everyone was still silent. Momo was the first to break the silence.

"That's it... no more coin for you!" Momo said with serious face which meant no-nonsense. ??

"But... it isn't my fault she surprised me, it was a reflex" I tried to reason with Momo. The whole situation turned awkward for the others because it became a lovers spat.

"No, that's isn't an excuse" Momo persisted but I decided it was enough. She can't make this decision.

"No! It could have been a villian for all we know and her attack was clearly on us, I did what was needed" Seeing me raise my voice, Momo immediately understood that it was wrong of her to react like that. She knew, most times I would listen to her but when my smile disappeared she backed down instantly.

"Well... I completely agree with Reo here, it could have been a villain. Yes, he used excessive force but he saved everyone present here. Even if the attack wasn't lethal but you didn't know that, good work Reo with your quick reaction and it was also good that you just scared the attacker before you could confirm their identity" Aizawa said and other members of Wild, Wild Pussycats came out. All of them nodded their heads in agreement, even Kan or known as Vlad King.

"Kid, careful with that attack, I know that you are always brutal with villians but that would have ripped apart anyone if hit. We won't condone murder after all or accidental death is severely judged." Vlad King said to me, I nodded my head in appreciation.

"Reo, since when can you control lightning?" Aizawa asked me looking very interested unlike his usual bored personality.

"Before the finals... it kind of came to me like with the flying without metal thing" I said back in my usual attitude.

"I have to report it Nezu" Aizawa said. I don't care any longer since my family is protected.

"Sure, I have no problem with it" I told Aizawa.

"Looks like the initial idea of surprise attack is out of the window. In the forest you will be attacked by monsters, please continue but on foot" Kan said and all of students nodded their heads. They were now out of the shock and arranged themselves in groups and entered the forest. I entered the forest along with my friends who seemed wanted to say something but stopped themselves for now.

[With Aizawa]

"Are you alright, Ryuko?" Shino asked kneeling down Pixie-Bob. Her hands her still shaking.

"I-I j-just saw my life flash in front of my eyes. I saw the attack coming but couldn't even move a muscle" Ryuko stuttered out.

"It was really awful" Tomoko said.

"You are lucky Ryuko that he decided to confirm if you are a villian or not" Aizawa said back in his dead mode.

"Yes the villians in USJ or Stain wasn't that lucky" Kan said.

"I heard that you said he was brutal? And what's his connection with Stain, wasn't he defeated by Endeavour?" Yawara asked curiously and confused and the whole Wild, Wild Pussycats seemed to be same.

Aizawa decided that there won't be any harm telling them and learning about Reo might help them with his training plans.

"As you all know that villians attacked during USJ. I was there... it was bloody. He signle-handedly took out most of the villians and everyone he took down were either missing a limb or broken limbs in such a way that they would never be normal again" Aizawa said and this shocked the group. Kan had heard it before but it still shocks him.

"And he was the one who defeated Stain, the official report released didn't say this but Stain's leg bones were grinded into dust... doctors said that it would be a miracle if he could ever put any force from his legs" Aizawa said, this terrified the heroes more. Kan also didn't knew the details to this extent.

"It's his attitude stable?" Tomoko asked in worry.

"Yes, he becomes a completely different person when fighting villians, other times he is a caring and helping guy. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. Now that he knows you are friendlies he will even apologize to Ryuko later" Aizawa said.

"But Nezu is alright with it?" Yawara asked.

"Yes, he can't support such actions so he just turns a blind eyes. During Stain incident, police also turned a blind eye and there is also an un-said agreement between the police and Nezu that they would keep turning blind eye to his actions as long as it's just crippling" Aizawa said.

"But how tmare the police fine with this?!" Shino spoke for the first time.

"Well as you know... the system is flawed so villians get away with light punishments or they escape the prison and cause havoc again, many people die because of this. So, the villians he had defeated permanently stay out of the streets meaning saving many lives" Aizawa said and no one spoke anything else. They were already deep in their thoughts.

"Well we wasted so much time... we need to proceed with the exam" Kan said and everyone completely agreed with him.

[With Reo]

"Dude... that's unfair. Why can't I be the only one with lightning Quirk?" Denki whined and everyone in the group laughed.

"My Quirk isn't exactly same to yours... I don't know how it works but it works" I replied while walking. Momo was walking beside me completely silent.

"I am sorry, I overreacted & I was being overbearing" Momo quietly whispered looking at the ground.

"It's fine... somethings are not be controlled" I said, I was angry at her but now it's gone. I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her towards me. She meekly came into my arms but none of us said anything anymore, we just kept walking.

"Awww... so romantic!!" Mina looked at us and squealed. Momo didn't even blush, she just smiled at her. We have been together for so long that small comments like this don't even bother us.

We kept walking through the forest and it has been quite long but we didn't face any monsters. Did my attack really change their mind about using monsters even after they said they would.

"I sense something coming towards us" Jiro said breaking me out of my thoughts. She had been continuously checking the forest for monsters since we entered the forest.

"Reo, we also want to get strong so stay back and let us handle this" Eijirou said completely serious.

"Ok, I will stand back" I said, well Eijirou is right. This is a training camp for everyone not just for me. I can't always save them so they needed to have fights like this.

Soon three monsters arrived, they were earth monsters, maybe it took some time for Pixie-Bob to calm down, that's why the monsters are late like that. I stood at the side and saw the whole fight, Momo made a cannon which blew a monster into bits.

Momo had to open her shirt to make that cannon like she did in canon. I didn't like it but I can't to anything about it. Though I might have stopped her from wearing that excuse of a leotard but I wasn't able to crub out her exhibitionist fetish.

God damn... both of my girlfriends are exhibitionist. Well nothing can be done because both of their Quirks are depended on much skin they are exposing.

Finally we reached the base camp within three hours and found that only our group was the one who were able to reach the camp. In the canon if I remember class 1-A took more than 8 hours. Well at time, no group was big like ours and with Jiro presence we were able to know of monsters were coming at us or not. She was also able to tell us the direction and distance so they could easily formulate plans to deal with the monsters.

I found Pixie-Bob was in the camp and walked up to her. "I am sorry that I attacked you, I was surprised" I told her to which she nodded after that, I walked away. Well it wasn't a lie, I was surprised that this time they didn't introduce themselves and directly attacked us, unlike the canon.

If someone thinks that for telling half truths I am evil then I won't ever retort to that. Half-truths can lead people to get fucked like it happened in a certain world of magic. I would request God that he sends me to that world next. Occlumency, Leglimency, Time-Turners, Animagus forms... now some would disagree saying that Animagus forms are not important in other worlds but if someone gets a flight capable animagus form then it would be highly useful for scouting. Or some could also hide themselves if situation asks for it.

Yes, my presence in that world might cause ripples and another prophecy might pop out but as long as I don't let that old fool meddle with me or my girlfriends, it would be completely fine. So, after lunch we played some indoor games inside the tent. Before sleeping hours girls and boys could stay together in a tent so it was no problem.

Class 1-B arrived just after the dark and like in canon others from class 1-A took more than 8 hours... with that the day one was finally over...
