Title: USJ (End)
….
-Kaminari (MC) POV-
"Worry not, for I am HERE!"
As soon as I heard that, honest relief rushed all over my body.
BOOOM!!!
Nomu's body crashes on the ground far away as it is punched by All Might.
While still in my Lighting Armor form, I immediately appear beside the other students at the front gate. As this is all happening I notice Kurogiri using this moment to make a dark mist under Shigaraki's unconscious body and teleport him away from here.
But All Might had a serious look as he went and fought Nomu. I am glad this happened.
I just look at the palm of my hand... weak… it might seem that I was at an advantage but I was losing.
I had another five minutes left until my Lighting Armor mode wore off, this mode unlike Speed Of Lighting is very taxing on me and my body. It pushes my body beyond its human limitations, my mind can also keep up with my speed and the auto-dodge sequence that I have made that when someone with enough power touches my lightning aura I would dodge.
That auto-dodge move was extremely difficult to make because every time it shocks a part of my brain that deals with my instinct to automatically dodge.
I have my quirk developed to its max. The power output is up to the max, I can store up to 200 million volts. The moves which should be impossible to achieve, I achieved them. I have made my quirk something amazing and when I become a pro hero, I could probably reach the Top 5 with my Quirk… but… THAT ISN'T ENOUGH!!!
I just look at All Might fighting Nomu, he has an easier time fighting Nomu now than during the Canon Timeline. With Aizawa there to cancel some of Nomu's Quirks it was no difficulty for All Might to blast Nomu away, it couldn't absorb the shock from All Might's punches so it just looked too easy for All Might as they fought.
"Haha, that took more than one hundred punches! Back in my good days I would only need two to deal with opponents like him. I guess my power has been getting a little rusty!" Said All Might with overflowing confidence in his voice.
Today I saw where I was with my power. I saw how I would compare to Number One... and from what I saw… I felt unbelievable despair. Not from the villains or anything like that, what made me despair was the difference between me and All Might at 100%. I was nowhere close, plus with the Quirks of the previous One For All holders, that was an unreachable gap between me and future Izuku at 100% with all of those other Quirks.
I don't like other people being better than me... I despise and hate people who are better than me!!! I loathe them!! SO I SHALL GET STRONGER!!!
There is still time until sh*t hits the fan. This battle has shown me my limits, and I am going to Plus Ultra out of them.
I am going to surpass them all!
One thing I miss in my arsenal is high damaging moves. The type of moves that could take out Nomu. That is why I could only dodge and run away from Nomu because I didn't have a movie to finish it off.
I did ask for a sword in my Hero Costume but all they gave me was a knife so that was immediately out. I understand their reason that giving an untrained kid a sword doesn't seem smart, but c'mon now. I was planning on asking Momo to make me one but the sword wouldn't be able to handle the heat released from my electricity, my quirk doesn't allow me to control electricity outside of my body.
Also, I understood that I have made changes from the canon timeline, but they were changes I was willing to make. All Might wasn't injured at all when dealing with Nomu so he will have an even higher chance of winning when he fights All For One again in the future. This is a change I needed to have an advantage over villains.
Also, Aizawa's quirk is not weakened either since Nomu did not blast his head against the pavement floor. I… I am unsure about some things… this weakness and helplessness I feel are strangling me.
I need more power!! I need to work harder and work smarter. My father in my first life always said that the world doesn't owe me anything.
I am not going to complain about how I got reborn with such a mediocre quirk when compared to the ones like Todoroki or One for All and so on. I made the choice to not try and take One For All due to the consciousness of the previous holders being inside it.
But I can still feel as if the reaper's scythe is around my neck at every decision I make. One wrong decision is all I need to die. Am I gonna lose this 2nd chance at life from one of my mistakes?
…
...
And just like that everything ended. I have a heavy feeling in my heart like it could explode at any time. Dying again, will I reincarnate again? Or was the first reincarnation just a fluke? I don't know, reincarnation has numbed my fear of death but not erased it. I lived my first life to the fullest. I had a lot of regrets, but everyone has those. But I am selfish enough to want this chance at life too.
After some questions from the police and investigators they let us go, my classmates congratulated me and so on I just smiled at them and acted like I just did the right thing with a calm face.
But... but… I can't handle it... this is terrifying. I could die at any moment… I feel extremely uncomfortable. Even though I wasn't injured at all I just went to the infirmary.
When I opened the door I just saw Midoriya and All Might in his skinny form, talking about something. I didn't pay attention and neither cared about any of it. I just went towards Aizawa's bed, but he seemed to be sleeping… damn… I guess…
I just looked at All Might and Midoriya, they had noticed me and were just looking at me with nervous faces. Were they scared that I had heard what they were saying, well I did but it was stuff I already know?
"Excuse me, are you a member of the teacher's facility in U.A?" I asked All Might with a serious voice.
All Might seems a little unsure of something when I ask that. "Uhhh… yeah, I am… but did you hear what I and young Midoriya were talking about before you got here?"
I heard that they were talking about All Might's quirk usage time shortening to 1 hour, but I obviously wouldn't say that. Midoriya also had a very nervous look on his face, as expected, he truly is a horrible liar.
"No I didn't hear anything, I was kind of distracted about the USJ incident earlier today. I wanted to know if I can get permission to use one of the training facilities." I answered to All Might.
Midoriya looks at me with a shocked look on his face, after all, I don't have that cheery look on my face anymore and I am acting differently from the usual 100% confident guy, with a smile on his face.
Even All Might noticed this, after all, he is my teacher when he is in his buff form, and he has always seen me as the cheery type of guy.
"Of course you can use them just tell me the time that you will be using it for and when you will start using it." Said All Might with a smile on his thin face.
"I will use it starting from right now, the period will last until it is time for the U.A Sports Festival to start. I will be in there for every waking hour, I will sleep there, eat there, and everything else. I would like to ask Cook Rush to make me food for that time. From my knowledge of the past U.A sports festivals, they will be held after two weeks from now." I said all of this with a straight face, Izuku was looking at me with a face that completely signified his shock, in his wide eyes there was a… look of admiration… directed towards me. That is annoying.
…
-General POV-
When All Might sees the determination in Kaminari's voice he can't help it, as one of his stray thoughts went towards a dark thought in his mind.
If he had met Kaminari before giving one for all to young Midoriya, who would he have chosen as his successor? Even he doesn't know the answer to that question. Or more likely he doesn't want to know.
All Might confirms to Kaminari that he would take care of everything, but he will have to come by tomorrow for his reservation. Kaminari just bowed down as he said. "Thank you very much, sir..."
All Might just smiles and says. "Yagi… my name is Toshinori Yagi."
"I see then. Thank you very much sir Toshinori."
And then Kaminari walked away from the infirmary. All Might could only sigh a little and scratch his head as Midoriya took this time to ask. "But sir, wouldn't Kaminari's parents be worried about him and they wouldn't allow him to do something like that?"
All Might just looks at Izuku. "Young Midoriya, in the written acceptance exams the question, Why do you want to be a Hero? The answers are usually the same you know, except Kaminari Denki. In all of U.A's history there was never an answer like that."
Izuku looks even more curious and asks. "What was his answer then sir."
All Might look conflicted as he said. "Because being a Hero is all that he has left."
….
A/N: In this chapter we see a little bit of humanity in everyone. Kaminari's fear of death and uncertainty in the future. Even the usually confident All Might questions himself a little.
