Now this is interesting. The girls decided to sit in the back on the bus, and placed me in the middle. I now have a sleeping Momo on my shoulder, and Toru is lying in my lap. Hehe, I like being the one having someone in my lap for a change, mother can’t call me “lap-cat” now.
I detect hostile gazes, and looking up a few of the boys, namely grape-fruit boy and lightning-hair boy are staring at me with jealousy burning in their eyes. I give them a smirk and proceed to pat Toru’s hair, I don’t think she was as asleep as I thought she was, as she lets out a giggle.
I was updated a bit on what happened while I was gone. Apparently the reporters stormed the area setting off the alarm, and the class selected a class president. Initially the girls wanted to elect me, but Aizawa shut them down mentioning that I have a deal with the principal, so I might not always be in class. Surprisingly enough, nobody questioned me about it, but I think the girls somehow misunderstood the reason.
The rest of the ride over to the USJ was uneventful, and I was woken up to giggling girls and purring. Apparently I dozed off and rubbed my head on Momo. Cursed instincts working against me even when sleeping.
When we arrived we had an introduction from a girl in a peculiar costume, her name was Thirteen. I was told that her costume resembles an astronaut, that is something I’ll have to look up, as I don’t recognise that word. Something about spacefaring, a concept that is still unfamiliar to me.
Just as we were about to split up, something happened.
“Everyone! Stay back.”
“What’s going on?”
Aizawa’s outburst confused the students. Before Thirteen explained. “Villains.”
“Hmmm? He’s not here? He was supposed to be here, the schedule said so…”
He? Who are they talking about. For that matter, that big guy with an exposed brain looks strong.
Feeling a grin creep up my face. “Aizawa, let me deal with them, I want to see how strong they are.”
He’s about to say something before I let out a bit of killing intent towards him, making him shut up.
Shooting off a few wind blades, gauging their reaction. The mist-guy is apparently some sort of teleported, as he spreads his, I think body, and the wind blades disappear. How interesting.
“Kurogiri WHERE is HE?!?”
That guy with hands all over his body is a bit crazy I assume. He’s looking for someone, but he’s not really paying attention to us? Oh, spoke too soon.
“Oh well, if I kill everyone here, maybe he’ll show up.”
Haaah, what is it with the people in this world and throwing around the word “kill”. Kill kill kill. Do any of them truly know what it is to kill, has anyone ever killed before? It’s not a profound concept, but they keep saying the word, without acting on it. Unlike my previous world.
“So, you want to kill us? Are you even strong enough to back up your words, or is it just hollow arrogance?”
Dashing forward aided by the wind I manifest my rapier and thrust towards his throat. His eyes go wide, but his expression is hid behind the hand attached to his face. The teleporter guy, Kurogiri, is trying to reach, but he’s not fast enough.
The hand-guy manages to raise his arms, and instead of piercing his throat my rapier cuts through his hands like butter. I let electricity surge through me and guide it using the rapier as a medium.
His body convulses and he falls to the ground. Transforming my rapier into a spear I’m about to pierce him as the exposed-brain thing blocks my thrust. The spear bouncing of his hands, but it didn’t feel hard, it felt soft, almost like….it was absorbed?
I take a step back and scoff at the so called villains. “If this is the level of villains, I wonder why you haven’t all been eradicated yet.”
Letting electricity surge through my body once again, I lift off into the air and hover a couple of meters above the ground as the lightning arcs and crackles around my body.
“Oh well. It doesn’t matter. You will not leave this place alive anyways.”
My bloodlust explodes through the arena, forcing everyone to their knees as they struggle to breathe. My focus is on the three entities before me. Three enemies.
The roof is blocked and I see no reason to use that kind of power unless necessary. Letting a few bolts of lightning shoot from me and towards the trio, the brain-guy steps forwards at a speed I wouldn’t imagine it could reach. It doesn’t feel alive, more like a brainwashed puppet, a shell of a former being.
I raise my spear and shoot forwards like a bullet, adding rotational spins for additional penetrative force, aiming at the brain-guy’s head. His speed must have been slowed down by his body absorbing or blocking the lightning, as he moves slower than he did previously.
My spear goes through his brain, but there is no blood, no nothing. Just organic matter. As the body falls to the ground the hand-guy screams out in agony. “NO! THE NOMU WAS SUPPOSED TO FIGHT AGAINST ALL MIGHT, HOW CAN A LITTLE GIRL DEAL WITH IT?”
Delusional, anger issues, resentment, this guy has a lot of issues.
“Shigaraki, let’s retreat, we failed.”
I am still frustrated, but I can’t do anything against the teleporter. He can just send my attacks to another place, I will need to figure out a way to deal with him, because they are coming back, they already said their target is All Might.
As they retreat, I can hear a lot of shuffling and realise there are more villains. They are even weaker than the ones I just fought.
Using my senses I find their location, and let lightning shoot out from my body, paralysing each and every one.
“Well then, Momo can you give us some handcuffs?”
Luxie comes off super arrogant for no reason. Sure, she used to be some god-like being, but in this world she hasn't done anything worthwhile, and not just towards the people in the world, but the readers (or at least me). Is this on purpose?
Also, I think you are underestimating the abilities of the villains.
So I didn’t really plan this series a lot, I read a few MHA fanfics and I had a few ideas, so I sort of just wanted to write one for fun when I want to take my focus off my more serious series.
Yes, it’s sort of on purpose. I have re-read, and it doesn’t translate as well into text as things did in my head. She is still sort of stuck in the mentality of being the strongest, and she is one of the stronger ones. I didn’t show a lot of the training or her power, it’s been minor stuff, because I sort of want to keep the stronger stuff “secret” until it’s needed. Say like the battle with OFA v AFO
She is being influenced mentally, I’m teasing it a bit through chapters, especially from 25+, but again, it might not translate as well into text as I think it does, without explicitly stating it.
There is a reason she is in this world, she has 3 different personalities sort of that sometimes battle for dominance, sometimes work together, or throw the younger one under the buss due to reasons. The arrogance of the “Fairy Empress” bleeds through a lot and colours the other personalities, and her mentality is also being affected by higher beings? (I need to update tags)
So generally, yeah, there is a reason for her arrogance, it will probably become clearer as things go on. Regarding underestimating villains? Yes and no? Honestly I feel like most villains are weak and one dimensional, but I’ve mainly seen the anime and I’m looking some things up on the wiki.
IIRC Eraser head gets pretty beat up by Nomu during the USJ incident, but that’s just a bad matchup form what I understand. Shigaraki, again, from how I understand him is deranged and has issues focusing unless All Might is in front of him, and his quirk requires touch.
Kurogiri is an issue, and he’s sort of the reason they got away in this chapter. For a lot of heroes, and especially students, will of course struggle with villains once I actually get to writing that (+ i suck at fighting chapters, hence I’m writing this one where I can get some experience since it’s a lot of battling). Luxie is sort of out of the norm. From what I understand and how I interpret quirks, they are superhuman or meta-human abilities, manifested due to evolutionary and biological reasons. Luxie isn’t really in that category. Sure she can use her “internal force” sort of like Todoroki, Endeavor, Bakugo, etc, but when she shines is when she uses the “power of the world” and commands it’s energy. Again, probably hasn’t come across like the way I’ve wanted, and we haven’t seen it yet, but you as readers actually don’t know what’s happening, while I have a semi-coherent plot line and how I want Luxie to be in my head, so her arrogance earlier on is probably due to me doing an oopsie, and then how I want to portray her is added in.
Hope that answers it? Sorry at work so I’m semi distracted.
@Melimelidh I thought it was something like that, it's understandable.
Regarding the villains, it might just have been because the scene was written from Luxie's point of view (right? I'm not great with POV's) that they seemed super weak. I think the fight scene was fine, not the best, but I've seen worse.
@ShiningBlade Yeah honestly fighting scenes are my weakness. I have no idea how to make them interesting. Either I use my own experience from when I was practicing martial arts and go super technical, or It’s just...eh....I’ll be doing one scene during the sports festival where I’ll try to make it more interesting, because it’s going to be more exhibition than anything else. I’ll also try to put in more effort on the upcoming villain arcs.
@Melimelidh In my experience, most MHA fanfics make the mistake of making the character super op and not updating the villains accordingly a bit, even if you want to make your character overpowered you must update the villains so that they don't be the jack / horse / king that they are, rn the series is fine because the villains adapt to the power of children or become stronger, but here they need a little or more intelligence, or more raw power, in regards to you fight never stick to the canon.
And as for describing peles I only recommend that you do not do it too short or too long, but lower the powers that the character can do a bit, because otherwise it is goku ss4 fighting an ant.
@_ciro_ I have a few ideas I want to try out, but yes you’re right. Thanks for the tips, I’ll keep the, in mind!
@Melimelidh de nada my friend
