The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 61 - Rumi Usagiyama (II) & Rumi's Past

"Why did you bring me to Deika City?" Rumi asked me while looking down at Deika city.

We have finally arrived Deika city and were floating over it. I was holding Rumi tightly by her waist. Rumi's arms were also around my neck holding me tightly. We were floating directly above the Deika City Tower. ??

"This city's population is about 17000, from above this city looks like any normal city but there is something very special about this city" I said while creating suspense. I knew Rumi didn't like suspense so I was doing this to annoy her and it seemed to be working.

"All of them" I said while waving my free arm over the city. "Are part of an hidden army. They call themselves Meta Liberation Army, they would act like normal citizens but all of them have some ability. They have only one goal, they want to liberate Meta humans and destroy the status quo" I spoke and Rumi grew serious by each passing second.

"Are you serious? How the hell did you get this information?" Rumi asked me, her voice now was filled with complete seriousness.

"Is that really important? We are going to eradicate them tonight" I said, I knew how Rumi's brain worked. I have spent more than enough time with her know these simple things.

Rumi didn't disappoint me and immediately a feral grin appeared on her face but somehow it became smaller. Well, that's odd... "I need to confirm what you are saying then we can destroy this place as you want" Rumi said while her feral grin returned.

"Fine... you can confirm, I will let you down. Use any method you want I don't care. As soon as you get the confirmation, cause mayhem and destruction as much as you want. I will be keeping an eye on you from here, if you are in trouble I will pull you out" I said to Rumi, she just nodded her head in understanding. We were already descending towards a dark alley where I was going to drop Rumi.

I landed in a dark alley and let go of Rumi and started to rise back in the air.

"Even though I would be watching you, stay safe Rumi" I said to Rumi.

"Don't worry I will be fine and if what to say is true then it's going to be awesome and I know it" Rumi said and walked towards the street but not before giving me a small kiss.

I don't even know how Rumi is going to confirm that all these citizens are part of Meta Liberation Army. But I still took some steps at my end, I spread my senses throughout the whole city and started to sense all the cctv cameras around the whole city.

I don't want a footage of Rumi wrecking havoc throughout the city to get out. But now that I am trying it, it is really hard. It is really hard to differentiate between the cameras and other metal stuff. So, I decided to do this another way, mess up with the electromagnetic fields around here.

I started to manipulate the magnetic field in the city. I never tried doing this before and it was really dangerous to try it without training. I could mess up badly and pop up a black hole right in the middle of the city. I don't want that... because currently I have no fucking idea how to dissipate the black hole after the job is done.

Only after a few seconds sparks and smoke came out of everything electrical in the city and the city went completely dark. Damn... what the fuck did I even do? I might have unknowingly used an EMP using a Quirk. I ain't trying this ever again until I train myself. Well, I will have more than enough time in Harry Potter world since they usually don't have anything electrical lying around in Hogwarts.

I just decided to think that I did nothing like firing an EMP right here and go fly up in the sky and keep a watch on Rumi while gathering the required power I needed to level the whole city at once.

[With Rumi]

After kissing Reo, Rumi walked out of the alley and entered the city and started to look around. She didn't find anything unusal but for some reason, she could see and feel that everyone was looking at her.

Rumi knew that with her bunny ears and tail she stood out and many easily recognized her but this wasn't like usual. All of the stares have hostility hidden in them. Her instincts were screaming at her about danger. Rumi could also feel Reo's gaze on her body. This made her really happy that Reo really cared about her and was keeping an eye on her.

Even though Rumi was strong and independent, she didn't need anyone to look after her but knowing that someone cares about her safety made her really happy. Like Nemuri she didn't have any family even though she had a boyfriend before but he wasn't anything like Reo.

She only loved one person before Reo, he was a guy from her high school. They were what everyone called made for each other. They themselves thought the same but there was a small problem, the guy was Quirkless.

When Rumi and her boyfriend were in high school neither of them cared about that and both of them were really happy together. But everything changed for them when they graduated from high school and Rumi decided to become a hero. At the beginning everything was okay and fine, both of them even moved in together, Rumi started to gain popularity as a hero.

But slowly and gradually a rift began to form between the two of them and things began to get worse between them. Due to Rumi's growing popularity the guy started to feel insecure and started to question Rumi about everything she did. That wasn't the only problem, Rumi found out that she really enjoyed fighting and by each passing day her lust for battle was growing.

But both of them didn't break off their relationship, they knew that every relationship has its ups and downs and decided to continue the relationship. But it wasn't for the naught, Rumi's lust for battle kept growing and she started to take on strong villains whenever she got the chance, just on her own and came out victorious. This started to boost her popularity even more and the rift in their relationship grew bigger and bigger.

Finally the guy decided to break it off one day. One day the guy came back from college and suddenly announced that he was breaking it off. Rumi didn't expect this and wanted to know why he was doing this? The guy answered that no matter what he did he would be always living under Rumi's shadow... Rumi didn't know what to say anymore. She didn't cry, she was hurt, broken but she was a strong girl.

But before leaving the guy said that he was also scared of her. That did that job, Rumi never imagined that the guy who was with her for so long would say something like that. After the guy left Rumi immediately broke down crying.

After that incident she decided to dedicate herself to her hero job and moved and got permission to make her house in the forest. The Hero Association happily agreed to her request because Rumi was growing stronger and stronger day by day and it would be only beneficial for them if Rumi worked more harder to get better at her hero job.

She never had thought that she would someday decide to take on a student to train him. It was just a sudden decision for her like a gamble, she saw how strong Itsuki Reo was and decided to fight with him. She knew that there were 5 more stronger heroes than her at that time but none of them enjoyed battle like her and wouldn't fight her if she asks them. She had already tried.

She won the gamble she got a strong student who could defeat her. That was a surprise for her but it felt her more alive, her lust for battle told her not to let this guy go because only being with this guy would bring her to new heights and help her gain more strength.

She didn't know why or how it was but her instincts were screaming at her and her instincts have been never wrong but she wasn't sure about one thing. The words of the man she once loved were still in her mind when he said that he was scared of her and walked out. She didn't know if Reo would do the same or not but to her surprise Reo didn't even mind in the slightest.

He even gave into her whims and fought with her whenever he got time to visit her. He even decided to happily become her partner even though he knew about her lust for battle.

She decided to give this relationship a try but there was another problem that Reo already has two girlfriends. The problem about her age could easily be ignored because one of his girlfriends was even older than her. Rumi also knew that she had a chance if she could bring herself to share Reo with his other two girlfriends.

She decided to take a leap of faith and it worked. Reo accepted her and treated her like any other girl. Thinking all this brought a smile on Rumi's face. She kept walking down the streets when suddenly sparks flew out of everything electrical and the city went completely dark.

Rumi knew that it was Reo's doing, this made her job a lot easier, while thinking this she decided to enter a nearby store...
