LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 58: Let me solo this
The day after school passed by quick as he thought about his powers, it helped him to keep himself busy, from either going insane in self silence or not doing anything at all. He could use this time to sleep but it didn't work, not until night came by in his domain, since it was simply a one on one imitation of the day-night cycle of the frontrooms.
Most of the nights spent sleeping were simply blank, but he remembered that one night, the so called Blanche, this name seemed familiar yet so distant. Has he seen her before he was reborn we wouldn't even know. But he was not even aware of his existence before he became this mess of glitches and organic material. Were those powers a glitch in his own DNA, or a reflection of something far more superior?
He fell asleep for what seemed like not even a second, and then he snapped back to reality, the sunshine waking him up with a quick blind to start the day. But it wasn't as painful, it was just a light brush for him, since he wasn't exposed to the full percentage of the light rays.
He stood up and put on the uniform before going in the bathroom he created to check himself out. He looked good in it, yet there was something strange, how did they get his exact size, perhaps through looking back at footages of him, or simply by mere luck. Either ways he was satisfied. With this done he found his way to the school, but that was too boring, even if he could be late, he did rather take his chances and enjoy his life. And he can always walk through space itself to get to class so why bother with just sitting in a room before he was forced to do it.
And so, with randomness in mind he vanished through space and found him self on the top of a train that was moving pretty rapidly, it almost blew him off, he quickly laid down and waited for a stop to occur, and after a minute or so, It stopped, but it wasn't where he needed it to be, he couldn't see The UA building anywhere, so he went on until finally seeing it in the distance behind a large quantity of buildings. He jumped away from the train, as he allowed gravity to catch a break. He flew towards the building with gravity off, also allowing him to rest a little. After minutes of floating around he finally reached the building, casually tapping his head against the top part of the glass. He laughed at it as he slowly descent down as gravity took hold of him, slowly but surely he made it work properly once again. Yet another question emerged, how did he gain the power to create new backrooms levels, or even change his own gravitational pull. When at first he believed he was only capable of noclipping in and out of any level, he was born with the power to noclip, but now, his arsenal has practically become infinite... But how? 'Doesn't matter, i can do it... Now shut up.' His thoughts quickly began to quiet down.
He took steady steps towards the classroom, and managed to get in right as the bell began ringing. But he didn't read the syllabus. So he planed to just recreate books so he can participate in class.
Most of class was boring, except some parts of math, the satisfaction of being able to solve something was immensely good, because it wasn't something that he knew, English was... Boring... and the rest of the subjects, could have been better and more entertaining. But it couldn't be more interesting when almost everyone was dreaming of the time passing so the hero training can begin. But before that it was time for lunch, the chance for him to fulfill the desire for taste.
During lunch time he takes some food and sits beside his classmates to socialize a little. With such a wide variety of information at his disposal he had many things that he can relate with his newly found friends.
And finally the moment everyone has been waiting for, hero training. The students took their seats some still talking to each other until steps were heard just outside the door, and it quickly slid open, as All Might rushed in holding himself to the edges of the door frame saying as loud and confident as always. "I am here, coming through the door like a hero!" Eth found this way of explaining it kind of unnecessary and awkward, heroes are also people. He proudly made his way to the teachers podium. Before beginning the introduction of what is going to happen. "Welcome to the most important class at UA high. Think of it as heroing one on one, here you will learn the basics of being a pro, and what it means to fight for the name of good." He said as he began flexing, and continuing his speech "Lets get into it. Today's lesson... Repono Punches!.. But one of the keys of being a hero issss, looking good. This were designed for you based on your quirk registration forums, and the requests you sent in before school started." He said while boxes with numbers emerged from the wall after he pressed a button on a remote. "Get yourselves suited up, and then meet me at training ground Beta!"
...
Yeah, there was another problem, Etheral never sent one, and he never actually had any idea about its existence. He can create his stuff, so it wasn't much of an issue, but thinking of it immediately would be an issue so he might as well keep things simple. Maybe just some casual style, but this wouldn't be talking about his personality, so he might as well make his style as chaotic as possible. He took a small breath before thinking. So while the students were moving to the dressing rooms, he slipped back to his room for a small thinking session with a prediction that he has at max five minutes to work something out. Perhaps take random clothes until stuff finally suit him and he likes it. He summoned a few small crates with clothes, similar to the those on level 1 and began searching for something that suited him, he picked them quickly as he didn't had much time. Stopping himself to the basic look of a modern, yet old styled jacket on squares of different colors the main one being gray. Then a white shirt, and finally bright gray pants. They looked good together and when he saw the final result he liked it, it gave him, that time traveler type of vibe. As if he was old... For him it was maybe less than a year that his life has been going on for, but it actually begun far before that... Maybe this has triggered his liking to this older texture, the outside being rough, and the inside soft.
But now the problem was that he didn't know where training ground beta was. So he decided that the best possible decision would be to follow his class mates until he can connect the dots.
And so as mysteriously he vanished, he appeared again. By now everyone was done and has headed towards training ground beta.
It took a bit until they reached it, but finally it was time for some action, except he wasn't sure what was going to happen, and who he was going to fight.
Etheral took the lead as he felt the most confident in what he had, as the students emerged from the darkness within the tunnel All Might was standing there waiting.
"They say the clothes make the pros, ladies and gentlemen. And behold you are truth... Take this to heart, from now on you are all... Heroes in training!" He said boosting the motivation of everyone, except the child, who didn't even take himself as a hero to begin with. More like an outlaw who just does good stuff when situations align.
After a bit of waiting finally everyone were in place and All Might began speaking.
"Now that you are ready, it's time for combat training!" He said, before Lida raised his hand and called him out. "Sir, this is the fake city from our entrance exam. Does that mean that we will be conducting urban battles again?" He asked
"Not quite, I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the villain fight you see on the news take place outside... however, statistically speaking run ins with the most dastardly evil doers take place indoors. Think about it, backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground layers. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, shall be split in teams of good guys and bad guys, and fight two on two indoor battles."
Then Tsuyu questioned if it weren't too advanced. To which she got the reply "The best training is what you get on the battlefield, but remember you can't just punch a robot this time, you are dealing with actual people now." He said as some of the group began flooding him with questions. He didn't answer any of them and instead whined slightly, before opening a small notebook.
"Listen up! The situation is this, the villains have hidden a nuclear missle somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try and foil their plan, to do that, the good guys either have to catch the evil doers or recover the weapon. Likewise the bad guys succeed if they protected their payload or capture the heroes. Time's limited and we will choose teams by drawing lots." Ida gave another question, he was skeptical if this was a good way, until Midoriya gave him some viable information, which made him apologize for the interruption.
"No sweat, let's draw!" He said as the process began, one by one, number by number everyone found their teammate. But there was a problem, since Eth's presence there wasn't as planned, he was left alone. But he didn't mind to go solo, but against who? More fun for him, roll a dice, go against two people who can't even harm him. "All Might, what's my situation?"
"It seems you have been left out of it... If you want you can choose someone to be your teammate for your turn." All Might replied confident that help would be needed. "Nah, I will be fine alone." Etheral replied with a smug smile on his face while lifting his shoulders. "Oh please, this is a not only combat exercise, but also one for teamwork." All Might said tapping the kid's back. "Alright then, if you so much insist, either way I win those." Etheral replied confidently. "Is someone willing to pair with Etheral over here?" All Might yelled out, to which not many reacted, instead pretending to be busy, until Mina decided to jump in, seeing that no one else wanted to pair with him. "Me, Me!" She raised her hand and squeezed out of the crowd. "Alright everything is set then... Let's draw!"
All might said before pulling out two cardboard boxes, with something that moved inside them, multiple objects.
"I declare that the first teams to fight would be... This guys!" All Might said as he drew two random balls from the boxes, titled "villain" and "hero"
"Team A will be the heroes, Team D will be the villains, everyone else can head to the monitor room to watch." All Might said as those who were not picked went to where they were ordered, but the kid stayed a little, he didn't know where it was, and it would just take out the fun of watching the chaos unraveling face to face, so he sat there. He created himself a foldable chair and opened it before taking a seat. "This would go nice with some snacks."
