CHAPTER START---

SHAMBLES!

Horizon appears back in the control room, standing beside All Might as he swaps places with the card he left there earlier.

All the students take a cautious step back in surprise as he reaches out and summons the card back into his hand.

"Well, that was boring," he shrugs. "Can I go home now?"

"You still have to review the battles after this," Eraser says. "Hero Course ends at five, as you know."

"Hey I can dream," he takes a few steps away from All Might then turns to face everyone. "So, did you three come just to see me?"

"Exactly," Nezu says. "But first, could you please deal with that," he gestures to the screen.

All eyes snap back to the screen to see Momo dragging Shoto from beneath the building hovering above them, and Ojiro still frozen in place.

"Sure," Horizon raises a hand and gestures to the left with his pointer finger, and the floating building does exactly that, suddenly jerking to the left and shattering as it hits the road. "Done."

"And can you bring them here?" Eraser asks.

"They can manage without me."

"Horizon," Nezu says.

Horizon sighs, "ugh, fine," he takes out three cards and throws them to the floor.

SHAMBLES!

Momo, Shoto, and Ojiro swap places with the cards. Recovery Girl immediately moves to heal them, ignoring their confused and surprised expressions.

Horizon once again Warps the cards back to him, placing all ten back into his jacket pocket.

"So, why did you come here?" he asks Nezu, looking up at the mouse that was still on All Might's shoulder.

Everyone just remains silent, carefully listening to every word.

"I came to see you in action," Nezu says. "So...telekinesis and what, air slashes?"

"No and no," Horizon says.

"Will you explain or are these more abilities you intend to keep secret?"

Horizon shrugs, "I tell the world what to do, and it obeys, because it knows better, that's all."

Everyone sweatdrops at that response, but somehow at this point, they weren't that surprised.

"Well then, good job today everyone!" All Might loudly announces, feeling his time about to run out. "I'll now entrust you all to Aizawa for more in-depth reviews. But allow this experience to expand your views, no matter how strong you believe yourself to be, there will always be competition, I know this was a serious eye opener for some of you," he sees both Shoto staring daggers at Horizon while Bakugo looks heartbroken.

"Even you, Young Horizon," he absentmindedly pats Horizon on the back, then holds his shoulder as he continues. "This is only the second day, if you don't take things seriously you'll find yourself struggling to even keep up with these young and talented heroes in training," All Might smiles brightly at everyone, seeing many of their faces light up at his words.

Until he looks at Deku, a completely mortified look on his face, then he sees a look of disappointment on Aizawa and Recovery Girl as they just shake their head at him.

'Hmm, what's going on?' he wonders, until Nezu taps his shoulder and whispers something in his ear.

All Might immediately freezes, then looks down at Horizon, not realizing that he was still holding the young man's shoulder, and Horizon...he was staring at exactly where Yagi's injury was.

'SHIT! The jig is up!' All Might's smile quivers for a moment as Nezu gives Horizon a subtle nod and they both turn back to the class.

Horizon sets the revelation aside for now as the class is sent to get cleaned up and return to their homeroom for reviews.

While everyone goes to the locker room he heads back to the homeroom. But before splitting off he hears them excitedly chattering about the final match, and he overhears a bit of what Nezu told them about him.

'So they know he's betting on me...that changes nothing,' he decides before taking out one of his cards, seeing the UA main building in the distance, and his classmates walking a dozen meters ahead.

SHAMBLES!

He swaps places with the book he left on his desk, appearing sitting on his desk as it falls to the lawn outside.

SHAMBLES!

The book reappears, another item he was completely attuned to for moments like these.

Taking his seat he leans his sword against the window and gets comfortable as he waits for everyone else.

SHAMBLES!

His hero costume swaps back for his uniform, as if it never left him, thankfully he'd basically done nothing but stand around since class began.

Back in the control room the moment the students left Yagi instantly deflated, a small cloud of smoke appearing around him as Nezu hops across to Aizawa's shoulder.

"Well at least I don't have to worry about him sensing me anymore when I transform," he tries to find a bright side to this, only getting unamused looks from everyone.

"You couldn't go one class without messing up?" Recovery Girl asks. "Honestly it's a wonder you became the world's best hero..."

"Do we need to worry about him running his mouth?" Eraser asks. "Him being Yagi's doctor is one thing, but All Might is an actual big deal, this story is worth a fortune."

"Horizon certainly doesn't need the money," Nezu waves away his worries. "And more importantly, he'd never break an agreement, that includes patient-doctor confidentiality. All Might is safe, but we will have to speak with him after school to clear up some things."

"Yeah, I figured as much," Yagi says, holding up his now baggy hero costume as it hangs off his frame. "But did you seriously have to hype him up that much in front of the students Nezu?"

"I simply spoke the truth All Might, and it provided context that I'm sure he never would have volunteered."

"And where did you find this kid anyway?" Eraser asks. "Warping, Healing, and whatever else he has, I know you said you found him to heal All Might, but he's trained, very very very well trained. Were his parents pros?"

"I don't really see how that's relevant," Nezu dodges the question. "What matters is that he's here now and it is our duty to help him become a great hero, now that you've all seen what he can do I hope you all support me in that endeavor."

"I still don't like that he didn't take any entrance exams," Eraser grumbles, "but I see why he got to skip them. Now I need to go to class before they get caught up in the post-battle excitement..."

"Right, thank you Aizawa," All Might politely nods as the man leaves with Nezu on his shoulder, then turns back to the screen, seeing all the destruction caused today. "And I should call Cementoss and tell him about this."

"Mhm," Recovery girl agrees. "I don't suppose you two could convince Horizon to help out at the infirmary could you, it'd be nice having an extra pair of hands...especially if that boy of yours is going to keep breaking his bones every day," she says with a bit a venom.

"Uh, I've already got one conversation with Horizon that I'm sure he won't be pleasant during later today. If I ask him to do something like that...well, I'll mention it to Nezu at least," All Might says.

"Oh, I asked you because lord knows everyone here looks up to you, does the All Might charm not work on him?" she asks cheekily.

"Honestly it has the complete opposite effect I think, he only really respects Nezu... even today he called me 'meathead' a few times, and I'm his teacher," he sighs and rubs the back of his head.

"But you are a meathead."

"Ugh...not you too..." Yagi sulks as Recovery Girl just giggles quietly...

A few minutes later and Iida is the first to arrive, walking beside Deku and Sato, they pause for a moment at the front door to the class, seeing Horizon leaning back in his chair playing a game on his phone.

He'd already received a message from Nezu to speak later, so for now he was just putting the big reveal of All Might being sick aside.

While most people would panic, especially his classmates, he didn't really care.

'Not my body, not my problem,' he summarises, the thought of revealing this secret never entering his mind as Yagi was still his patient.

"Hey Horizon," Sato waves politely while walking to his seat, at the back of the second column. "Nice work out there today," he gives a thumbs up.

"You too," Horizon's words cause both Deku and Iida to freeze, not expecting any kind of compliment. "Guess you're a wrestling fan..."

He recalls Sato's basic but effective wrestling moves used to subdue Shoji earlier.

Sato blushes and rubs the back of his head, not used to compliments, "thanks man, means a lot coming from the next Symbol of Peace."

Deku's heart aches at those words, another nail being hammered in to tell him how far he'd have to go, and how much further ahead his competition already was.

"What?" Horizon pauses his game and turns to face Sato.

The rest of the class walks in as Sato explains.

"Oh, during your match Principal Nezu gave this big speech, said you're pretty much guaranteed to be the next number one hero...and said you're already good enough for the top ten, he said some other things too but I can't really remember, sorry."

"Oh, he revealed that," was all Horizon said, surprising everyone as he turned back to his phone.

"So it is true," Shoto steps out of the crowd and begins walking to Horizon as everyone gets to their seats, the entire class silent and listening in.

"He's a big dreamer," Horizon shrugs, not looking up at Shoto.

"And you aren't?"

"Meh," Horizon shrugs. "Don't really care for crap like that, being a hero is just a job, you people can kill each other for the top spot as far as I care..."

Everyone is shocked, yet again.

Their minds couldn't comprehend it.

Here was someone that the smartest being in the world declared as the next Symbol Of Peace...and he didn't want it, what they were sweating and bleeding for, and he didn't even care.

Shoto just glares down at him, Horizon still just playing a game on his phone, "good, because the number one spot is mine, and I won't lose to anyone, not even you."

"Unless I wake up one day and decide to take it," Horizon chuckles. "Really isn't anything you can do to stop me, you do kinda suck, remember?"

"Get to your seats," Eraser enters the room, breaking up the tension.

As everyone gets seated and he gets ready to teach some odd glances are thrown about, the moment of calm lets the thoughts get properly realized in all their minds.

'He thinks Todoroki is weak?' Momo wonders, staring blankly at the back of Horizon's head.

Deku looks down at his bandaged arm, still in the sling, and frowns. 'I thought Kaachan was the biggest problem, but Todoroki is stronger than him...and Horizon is so far beyond that, why did All Might even choose me when people like them exist?'

Bakugo was blankly staring forward, his body and mind idly flowing through the motions as it tries to put itself back together.

In a word, today had been 'humbling' for him. Expectations and reality clash. Most of his classmates were exactly as expected, weaker than him. But first Deku is able to actually compete, and even win. Then Todoroki freezes an entire building with minimal effort.

And then there was Horizon... the thought made him feel the throw-up and cry all at once.

He clenched his fist at the memory, 'that damn rat thinks he'll be the best, better than anyone, better than me? And he's so strong, and he's a genius from what Shitty Hair told me...how am I supposed to beat that?'

"Alright, let's get this class started," Eraser taps the board, and the pairs they were grouped in before appear listed. "This session is all about reviewing everything that happened, but let's get the standout performances out of the way first."

Most of the class stiffens up at that, expecting some harsh punishment as a result of poor performance.

"First off, this is the start of your real hero training, I expect constant improvement from this point onward, that goes double for you," he looks directly at Deku. "I took a look at the recording, you've got a good head on your shoulders, if you master that Quirk then you'll be a useful and versatile hero in the future."

Deku manages to smile, finally feeling like he got a win today.

"The next standout is Bakugo, you didn't work with your teammate and let your emotions cost you the victory. Terrible. Focus on building some discipline or what would have been easy wins will keep evading you."

Bakugo just stares down at his desk, somehow going from the look of a kicked puppy to a completely beat-up puppy.

"Todoroki," Eraser throws his gaze to the back of the class, this confuses everyone as Shoto seemingly performed fine. "You're confident in your abilities, clearly. But this world is a big place, and today you were matched against someone clearly stronger than you. I doubt it would have mattered in the end, but you would have had a better chance had you not disregarded what Yaoyorouzu could have added, if you didn't take the lead and sideline her. Your confidence is not unfounded, but leaping into unknown situations with no backup is stupid, even for the strongest heroes."

Shoto just nods and glances over at Horizon, 'so even Aizawa thinks we couldn't have won?' was all he heard, was all many people heard.

"And I saved the worst of all for last, you," he looks directly at Horizon, surprising everyone.

Horizon doesn't react, still leaning back in his chair and paying attention.

"You not only disregarded what your ally could add, but you didn't both to help free him from the ice at all. Helping your allies is the absolute basics, yet somehow you didn't know that," Aizawa glares slightly before composing himself. "Not to mention I can tell when someone isn't trying, and you weren't even half-assing it, that would be a lot more effort than whatever you did out there. UA is for people willing to put everything they have into being a hero, have some respect for your classmates, and at least try, it's literally the least you should do."

"Got it," Horizon says, no intention to ever stress himself about any of this.

"Right, now onto the main reviews..."

CHAPTER START---

"Alright, see you all tomorrow," Eraser finally wraps up class, the sun already setting on the horizon as everyone begins packing their bags.

Horizon just places his blank book and pencil case in his desk and checks his phone.

'5 Minutes,' Nezu's text says. And he can feel Yagi still in the teacher's lounge reading something.

Focusing on Nezu he feels him talking to Recovery Girl over a cup of tea in his office, and decides not to interrupt.

Bakugo is the first to leave, sulking away with a blank expression, and Deku immediately leaves his items and rushes out of the room to talk to him.

Horizon only shakes his head and leans back, closing his eyes, trying to enjoy a few minutes of peace as everyone leaves.

"Horizon," Tokoyami interrupts his 'me time', "sorry to bother you but aren't you leaving? I assumed you would have warped away the moment Aizawa dismissed us."

Horizon looks to his right to see Tokoyami sitting on his desk, Sero at his desk in front of Tokoyami, turned in his seat to face Horizon, and in front of him, Momo and Jiro are talking quietly at Jiro's desk.

"Normally I would, but Nezu wants to talk to me in a few minutes, probably about the new abilities I showed and some other stuff," he shrugs.

"Makes sense," Sero taps his chin and nods along. "Telekinesis and Air Slashes, pretty strong on their own but you've got both, I'm sure he wants to know more about them."

"And in addition to your Warp and Heal, I can certainly understand why he has such faith in you," Tokoyami adds.

"Don't forget the Ghost Bullets," Jiro adds, causing both girls to join the conversation.

"Yes those are quite dangerous, but Recovery Girl couldn't understand how they worked," Momo says. "Atleast when Todoroki and I went to the infirmary before getting changed."

"I assumed they were just Air Bullets," Jiro says.

Horizon laughs, "Air Bullets is a really pathetic Quirk in comparison, mine are a lot more hard-hitting, but less versatile, they can't be used to push objects or people around, only damage."

"And they aren't air," Momo says. "They tore through layers of concrete but when they hit Todoroki it didn't break the skin, destroying his clothes and the floor behind him, but never broke the skin, very odd."

"Honestly most of my abilities are scarier if you know how they actually work," Horizon shrugs. "But until my big debut at the sports festival, I'll be keeping everything close to the vest. I don't like the idea of people knowing what I can do, but heroes have to be marketable to be successful, and the public gets more invested if they can actually understand what you're doing, that's why signature moves exist."

"I didn't even think about that," Jiro says. "But its not like you have to do much, Warp alone would be enough to get every pro in the world sending you offers."

"Indeed," Momo solemnly nods along. "A near-mythic status Quirk, and to think it's only one of your abilities."

This particular phrase causes Shoji to turn around, bag slung across his shoulder as he approaches the group. "I have a question."

"Uh-huh," Horizon looks up at him.

"What's the name of your Quirk, or Quirks, I'd imagine it has to be something cool, mine is Dupli-Arms, it lets me duplicate any body part on the end of my extra arm tentacles, and they're an enhanced version of my usual set," Shoji creates a second mouth at the end of a tentacle and smiles at them with it.

"Any body part?" Horizon says with a curious tone, causing Shoji to groan.

"Yes, even that..."

"Ahh, the ladies must love you," he chuckles, but everyone else in the conversation just blushes.

"Somehow that's always the first thing people think about," Shoji mutters.

"It's literally human nature, if we can't fight it, fuck it, or feed on it, we don't really care about it, our kids are the only exception... atleast for sane people."

Momo cringes at the thought and his crass language, "then I suppose we should all introduce our Quirks, my Quirk is Creation, it allows me to create any non-living thing from the lipids in my body, I can essentially transform my body fat into items," she says with a proud smile.

"That's awesome!" Sero cheers. "So you can make gold and just get super rich!"

"She's already super rich," Horizon says. "She's a Yaoyorozu..."

Momo freezes, not expecting this to surface so soon. Forcing herself to smile she continues, "well yes, my family is rather comfortable, but I also cannot use my Quirk in such a manner. The restrictions because of its nature are numerous, including banning me from making certain items like firearms and precious gems and minerals, as well as currency. I also have to know the molecular composition of anything I'm making."

"The most versatile Quirk in the world," Horizon says. "When we were watching the Quirk test in his office I told Nezu that nobody here could match me, but you're one of the only people in the world that could make a plan that I can't predict, because basically anything in the world can be in your pocket."

Momo blushes deeply, but a moment later she's crushed by even more expectations placed on her, atop the mountain of pressure that comes with being a Recommended Student and proving that you deserve your spot, now the potential future Symbol Of Peace is complimenting her potential.

Jiro gives her a pat on the back and begins talking to distract everyone, "my Quirk is Earphone Jack, basically, my earlobes are Aux cords, I can plug them in to listen to music or amplify my heartbeat with them to attack, they're also tougher than store bought jacks, oh, and I can extend them," she extends one all the way to the ceiling and taps it before recalling it.

"Hmm, I didn't expect the heartbeat thing, not too strong on their own but since they work with technology you can make up for that, at least they're cute," Horizon says.

Jiro fights through the blush, "uh, thank you," she twirls one on her finger. "And yeah my boots in my hero costume act as speakers and amps."

"Smart, can I touch one?" Horizon asks plainly.

"Um, you want to touch one?" she's surprised at how blunt he is.

"That's what I said yeah."

"Right...sure," she extends one out to him, about a meter away until he reaches out and touches it, holding it carefully in his hand.

SCAN

He immediately gets a full breakdown of her body, he can even tell that she had rice and curry for lunch. But what really gets his attention are the extra bones in her ears and dense layers of cartilage that make up her Earphone Jacks, hidden beneath a layer of soft skin.

He also senses the many extra bones in her ears to better differentiate sounds, and finally, the nerve clusters that point out the tips of her jacks as erogenous areas.

He seemingly absentmindedly begins playing with the jack, gently touching the nerve clusters at the end of it while turning to Sero, "so, Tape?" he asks. All while Jiro is frozen in embarrassment and panic, never having someone else, especially a boy play with her jacks, and not knowing how to handle the situation.

"Yeah, I can just shoot tape from my elbows," Sero shrugs. "It's pretty simple but there's this guy in America, Web Slinger, his Quirk is similar and he's in their top ten, so I've been trying to follow his lead."

"Is it just one type of tape?" Tokoyami asks, now pulling all attention to him.

"Nah, I can make a bunch of types, but the stronger the tape the more it drains out of me, and the more I use the more water it takes from my body. If I use too much I get really dry skin," Sero explains.

"Web Slinger, that's the guy who swings around New York," Horizon says. "But he's also got super strength and a few other things, but I suppose you could try to make up for it with versatility."

"That's the plan," Sero grins happily.

"I suppose I'm next," Tokoyami says, being the next person in the circle before Horizon. "This is Dark Shadow," a birdlike shadow demon creature appears from his belly. Dark purple and seemingly having the same pattern as static on a TV.

"Hi everyone!" Dark Shadow cutely greets them, currently only as big as a small dog.

"Can I?" Horizon raises his right hand, asking permission to touch him, all the while still playing with Jiro's jack in his left. Glancing at her through the corner of his eye he could see her nervously sweating, standing a bit behind Momo and out of the circle, eyes glazed over and staring at him.

"Go ahead," Tokoyami says, and Dark Shadow bows its head.

He reaches out and pets it, and Sero does the same.

SCAN

Pure energy made physical, he could sense everything within Tokoyami as well, including four apples. But what made him very curious and excited was the cells in his belly, seemingly constantly producing the same energy as Dark Shadow, but very fragile against other energy types, with no other information it could have taken him hours to solve.

But the name Dark Shadow and its appearance was a dead giveaway as to what energy it was weak against.

"Looks cool," Horizon says, pulling his hand away as Dark Shadow blushes. "So what does it do?"

"Well, I can extend him a fair distance to fight for me, and some basic shapeshifting, nothing too crazy yet, he can also think independently or with my influence," Tokoyami says.

"Versatile and it looks cool, you'll definitely stand out," Sero says.

"Assuming you can solve the issues with it," Horizon draws all eyes back onto him, his voice becoming a bit more serious. "The obvious weakness is one thing, support items can fix that," he sees Tokoyami's eyes widen in worry. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone, honestly I had it figured out since the Quirk Test. But your mastery level is around the weakest in the class, right down there with Todoroki and a few others."

Tokoyami nods, "improving my Quirk is one of the main reasons I'm here, I'll be sure to consider your advice about support equipment as well," he retracts Dark Shadow.

"Power vs Mastery huh," Shoji says. "You explained that earlier and I didn't quite get it, but now I kinda do. With Dark Shadow, it's more about how he uses it rather than just sending him out to box, right?"

"Exactly," Horizons says. "Basic enhancer Quirks are easy to gauge because you can put a number to how good they are, how much they can lift or throw, that kind of thing. But with Quirks like all of ours, we need to be more tactful with how we use them, and some Quirks require both."

"I see, and what exactly is your Quirk?" Momo asks, still oblivious to Jiro's predicament behind her as he continues playing with the jack.

"My Quirk is called Hand Of God, I've got a lot of abilities but the potential is boundless, only limited by time, experience, discipline, and energy," he shrugs.

They all stare at him before Sero shakes his head and speaks, "that's such a lame name man..."

"It's meant to be descriptive," Horizon says.

"Name aside, what exactly does it do? Like how does a Quirk that can 'potentially do anything' even work, or exist?" Tokoyami asks.

"It's actually a lot more simple and complicated in certain regards than what I explained just now," Horizon admits. "All you need to know are the abilities it gives me, those slashes, healing, the warping, the bullets, what you call telekinesis, and a few other things," he shrugs.

"There are more?" Momo asks, a mix of surprise and fear in her voice.

"Yeah," he says casually, fully aware of how insane this sounds, but used to it. "Honestly each of my abilities is equivalent to a Super Move from a Pro, I don't even know what an intentional Super Move for my Quirk would look like."

"Damn, I knew competition at UA would be tough but this is insane," Sero says.

"That's a matter of perspective," Horizon says, dropping Jiro's Jack which instantly retracts to the flustered girl, now covered in a thin layer of glistening sweat with her face beet red.

She stared at him with a mix and embarrassment and anger. Forced to bite her tongue to prevent further embarrassment but also wanted to yell at him, partly for what he presumably unknowingly did, and partly because he stopped just before the finale, leaving her panties drenched and body hot with no proper payoff.

Horizon just glances at her beneath his visor, an amused look on his face as he sees how flustered he made her, like putty in his hand. 'Too easy,' he thinks to himself.

"I figured you were over that whole phase man," Sero says. "You seem pretty chill today compared to yesterday when you were just calling us worthless."

"Not worthless," Horizon says. "Just not competition when compared to me, I don't have a problem with people in general once they can stay in their lane. I just really don't like when my time is wasted, or when people who are objectively trash think they can stand beside me...like Deku. I came to UA expecting everyone to have the most basic level of competence, honestly, he should quit and let someone from general studies take his place, rather than waste time that can be used to train a useful hero..."

"Isn't that a bit harsh?" Momo asks.

"Well the bare minimum for any sort of emergency service member is to be an asset, not another liability, if the first thing you do is hurt yourself, you're certainly not an asset."

They all frowned, but nobody tried to argue against that logic, they were all here to be heroes, people that the public could depend on during a crisis, not people who needed to be saved like everyone else.

"I see," Tokoyami nods along. "While I don't entirely disagree, everyone has the right to chase their dreams, and since he's already made it this far there must be potential in him that our teachers recognize." The others nod along, but Horizon doesn't react, and Jiro finally catches her breath.

"Well I don't really believe in potential, I believe in what you can do. I doubt civilians will accept 'I just needed a bit more training, I have the potential to save those people next time' as an excuse."

Everyone looks a bit sad at that example, another situation that they couldn't argue against.

"Well enough about such dreary things," Tokoyami looks past Horizon, leaning slightly to the side to see his sword. "May I try out your sword?"

"You like swords?"

"Everyone likes swords," and everyone nods in agreement.

"You know, Nezu told me not to hand it to just anyone, especially anyone untrained, since it's a bit special, but pain is a good teacher," he reaches out toward Tokoyami and warps it into his hand. "Just don't do anything too bloody, I can heal you but I can't get rid of bloodstains easily."

"Thank you," Tokoyami reaches out and holds it, and the moment Horizon lets go the end of the scabbard hits the floor. "Heavier than the replicas I have at home..." he says.

Now with someone of more average size sitting beside it, the sword was taller than the seated Tokoyami. Measuring in at 145cm -4ft10-, it was suddenly very apparent that the only reason they hadn't properly realized how big it was is because of Horizon's large 193cm -6ft3.5- size.

"It's almost as tall as me," Jiro -154cm, 5ft- mutters as Tokoyami carefully lifts it.

"It needed to be bigger to fit all the Tungsten and Carbon Fibre into it," Horizon says. "Average katanas weigh about two and a half kilograms -5lbs- with the scabbard. This one is nearly three times that. I needed the durability because it's meant for any close encounters with Power Type villains. Can't have my sword breaking against their skin after all, and if I ever have to block instead of just warping away I'd like it to not shatter. Power Loader is a genius at support items so it only took him like a few hours to make it, he also made my visor," he reaches up and taps his visor.

Tokoyami carefully unsheathes it, revealing the pristine white blade with a blue edge, "is everything blue and white with you?"

"That's part of the Horizon brand," he shrugs.

"Your Quirk must provide some sort of Super Strength then, if you can use this without getting tired, right?" Momo asks.

"Not really...a byproduct of my Quirk is that I have enhanced physical attributes...nothing that would count as 'super' in any way, just better than most. It's also why I'm so tall, I mean Shoji is tall and he's a Mutant type so it makes a lot more sense than me in some ways, and I'm taller than him," he shrugs.

"Wait a minute!" Sero puts his hands up, causing everyone to stare at him. "Your Quirk...is super powerful, rare, versatile, and makes you tall and buff---"

"I work out a lot to build muscle."

"Man...life really does pick favorites, the girls are gonna be all over you," he groans in annoyance and jealousy.

"UA is just one big gym for hero course students so we'll all have people wanting us, plus we'll be celebrities to the public. I mean literally all the girls in our class are hot," Momo and Jiro both blush at that.

"Yeah you're right," Seo says. "But you've still got a lot more going for you than most."

"Don't forget super rich," Horizon adds. "Miracle Surgeries cost a lot, and I work for the highest bidder, it adds up, and being good-looking is just a bonus."

"I hate you," Sero mutters jokingly.

Horizon just chuckles, "it's not that you're bad, I'm just perfect..."

For some reason, nobody could make an argument against that.

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Horizon's phone alerts him to a text, and glancing down at it for a moment he sighs.

"Time to go see Nezu, I'll see you guys tomorrow."

SHAMBLES

He disappears from his seat, replaced with an inconspicuous pen.

"Huh?" Jiro and Sero stare at it for a moment before it's replaced with one of his cards, then both that and his sword disappear.

"I'll never get used to that," Sero says. "But man is it cool, just being able to disappear whenever you want like that..."

"It certainly is enviable," Tokoyami says. "Warping alone is enough for entire nations to fight over him, adding everything else is simply stacking the deck even further."

"It's no surprise they wanted him in UA so badly," Shoji says. "That power is too dangerous to be just out there independently, it's like giving someone a button that prints money and asking them not to use it...uh," he looks at Momo awkwardly.

"It's quite fine, I understand," she says.
