Chapter 28: Exam - 2
With new zones appearing and not having my quirk to boost my speed, I was slower than normal; though still surpassing people who had weaker physiques with no quirks to help them.
Just realizing that people do rely too much on their inherit power instead of improving themselves. This was a good thing in the end, it helped me realize to always work on everything I have. Be it my body, quirk, and more importantly my mind.
Afterall, information is true power. Maybe I should work on building an informational group with a few key members. I believe if I can help Jin, then we can truly rule the information network. Another member I could use would be Toga, and our broker... it has to be Giran.
He is trustworthy, even if he works for the league. I believe he would stay neutral, but that is kind of reckless. Maybe someone else.
Hearing some gasps behind me, I turn and find Noella and Shika following me towards the next zone, I guess a sort of team had formed. Hardships create bonds as they say even though nothing was really hard haha.
"I am gonna go on ahead to claim the spot, try to catch up." The words leave my mouth as I push forward leaving them behind before I got a response. I needed to ensure my passing even if it meant leaving them as I didn't even know them. Shika looked a bit sad and if I could then I would help her, the other girl well whatever. She gave off weird vibes.
Turning the corner and seeing another person running towards the zone, though he was quite quick on his feet, although farther than me, he was getting closer to the zone than I could. Perhaps a physical reinforcement quirk, but I need to get there before him or at least delay him as the look in his eyes shows that he isn't too fond of sharing.
Sending some smoke out to obscure his vision and creating a clone while hiding myself in the smokescreen, I send the clone rushing out faster than even him. The clone who weighs nothing reaching the zone as frustration marks the guys face but instead of the zone turning red locking him out. The clone runs out towards the guy head on, a game of chicken.
A smirk raising on my clones face mimicking the guy who thought he had won, closing in on each other; smoke still in the background. The point of contact or what should have been echoes with a thud and grunt as 'I' phase through him leaving a confused expression on hid face before he slams into the ground.
"Where did you go! I thought you were a man!" He screams as a rustle accompanied with heavy breathing is heard and the smoke screen vanishes leaving three people within the zone he was running towards. Shika, Noella, and myself within, both of them catching their breathes as I looked at the guy who had gotten up and was glaring at me.
"Sorry, it is part of the game. You still have time, I wish you the best." I gave a thumbs up while pointing with my other hand towards another blue sone in the distance. I felt kind of bad but not really. It was one of those situations where someone had to lose.
I generally just wanted the guy to go away before he realized I had not locked the zone leaving it blue with the chance of someone taking a spot. I would have to rely on my teammates if that were the case as I doubt I could hurt a physical enhancement user even if I could have him confused and lost within my smoke.
"How did you hold that guy back? And why did you? You could have let him in and let one of us out." Noella said to me with a hint of distrust while looking at me as if to see through me.
Turning around and with a face showing indifference I replied with honesty as I had nothing to hide, "Why would I let him in when I have already completed a zone with you guys and had no problems? I care not for strong quirks nor do I like unpredictable people."
"Are you saying we are predictable." Noella said as Shika raised her sleeves to her face as to cover herself, which is funny as her quirk kinda does that for her. Do quirks sometimes have an affect on personalities?
"More predictable than that guy at least, but know this; I see you guys as other examinees and will not hesitate to cut you off if need be. I hope we can continue to work together and do our best though." I say as I sit down and relax waiting on the timer to end while cautiously looking around in case something happens.
----
Quietness rained over the group as the timer ticked down, only 30 seconds left. Getting to my feet, I feel a shove from behind throwing me across the ground getting thrown out of the zone. Noticing no one behind me, I realize what happened. Running as fast as I can I jump into the zone once again. A yelp from the left as I see Shika lying on the ground, blood coming out from her elbow as she scraped it bracing for the impact.
She however landed out the zone as the it turned red, Noella had locked the zone trying to claim it for herself. Luckily I had gotten back in before she did lock it down. Instantly I spread smoke throughout filling the zone up with smoke making it harder to breathe, which would work in my favor as I knew I had better stamina.
Talking through the smoke I ask, "Noella, what was that for? We all three would have been closer to passing, so why throw us out?"
A mocking laugh on the other side as a woosh passes through the smoke smacking me in the stomach throwing me against the barrier as a tunnel was cleared from the telepathic attack. Both Noella and I looking at each other in the eye, one turquoise blue and the other golden.
Well, ok. Note to self, stay moving within my own smoke. The attack had knocked the breathe out of me though it had also moved the smoke away allowing me to breathe better. Noticing no smoke around Noella's head, the fact that she can probably make a bubble around her head to stop the smoke getting close crossed me mind.
It sucks that my own move worked against me but the smokescreen is still needed, I guess I will have to end this quickly. Running into the smoke and creating some smoke clones something she hasn't seen me do yet. I will have to at least get one good hit in before she realizes this.
A voice breaking through the smoke as well as my own thoughts, "Do I need a reason to get rid of trash for the young master? He doesn't need a bunch of rubbish in the same school as him. Give up now or else I won't go so easy next time, I can burst your internal organs with my next attack if you would like."
Keeping my mouth shut as to not give my position up, sending a clone in the direction of the voice as I send the others to spread out around the area using the smoke as cover as she starts talking telling me to give up and come out.
"You have no chance, either give up or get hurt. Come out within five seconds, if I count to five and you do not come out then do not blame me." She says as I tiptoe towards her getting within around ten feet as I send a clone out running towards her aiming as punch, not that it will do anything.
Seeing the clone running at her she smirks and aims her hand towards it sending a blast that disperses the smoke as it gets closer at a fast quicker than the eye can see.
"Too bad I am right here!" I shout as she jolts as it scared her, as she turned her head in my direction, an elbow aimed at her face as she tried to cover it not succeeding as my elbow made contact whipping her head to the side. Her body twisting with the impact sending her to the ground with blood drooling down her mouth as it busted her lip open.
Noticing she was still awake I went to go forward and knock her out but she turned her head towards me, a glint of anger so pure that she was probably going to try and murder me. A burst of telepathic energy in a complete circle around her sending rocks and smoke in all directions. Some rocks hitting me in the torso with a terrible impact, though not enough to puncture my body.
"Guh!!!" Pain taking over as it did however tear the skin and cut me pretty deeply. Falling back into the smoke as I controlled the smoke to cover the area she cleared. I hear Shika outside yelping at the injury, letting me know that I had left some gaps in the smoke earlier which could be bad right now.
Alright, I had let my guard down thinking she would give up after such a tough hit. Next time I will put all my strength into it. The same trick isn't gonna work most likely but I think some reverse psychology is in order. As she is pretty mad, it might work.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
AxesInc
AxesInc Here go a chapter, been watching Supernatural. On season 2 now. I like it. I am still waiting on Dexter: Original Sin and Resurrections though. I love the Dexter franchise so much. Literally my favorite show of all time and I just learned of it like 2 months ago.
Leave a review and some comments please. The interactions is what makes writing the story even more fun to do. Also after this story is over, I am really thinking of writing a Dexter fanfiction but not sure how I want to do that. Maybe a fic where a true psychopath inherits Dexter's ability to love and he was a fan of Dexter the show as he was envious.
He then fixes the things that happened to Dexter like killing Arthur Mitchel early so nothing bad happens etc.
But it feels like it won't have no dimension to it plus I don't know how to write mystery very well. It just seems like a very daunting task.
