Chapter 5: Chapter 4
Do you know what's the MOST amazing thing about the MHA universe is?
Quirks obviously. It was this phenomenon that created the opportunity for people to go out wearing a tacky outfit and yelling out cheesy lines while bringing down the hammer of justice upon the wicked. Also dubbed as "Heroes".
But do you know what's the WORST thing this world has to offer? Again its quirks or the stuff that has happened because of them. While they are amazing and is part of the daily life here it is also the reason why Villians exist. And quirks have done some considerable damage in other fields as well.
I've been reincarnated to the mid 22nd century of the MHA timeline where 80% of the population has quirks. And quirks have existed for a century and more, extending to five whole generations of humanity with superpowers. So technically I've not only reincarnated but also travelled in time to the future from my previous world.
Except there's nothing futuristic about MHA besides the scarcely found robots. After a few months of being reincarnated and learning about this world I had a strong belief that One Piece would have been completed by now and I can finally get to know what the treasure is all about and the whole "Will Of D" fiasco. And I came to know that the One Piece manga doesn't exist in the MHA universe which is depressing as hell.
So I decided to search for some of his other works and what I found was even more depressing. Eiichiro Oda didn't even exist in the first place and so was the case for other manga authors as well. Which means that manga and anime from my world is not even in existence here. But when I sat and thought about this it actually made sense.
Now, if I were to be reborn in the One Piece or Naruto world I wouldn't have found a copy of the MHA manga. So by that logic it made a whole lotta sense of this disaster.
The growth of Technology was also stunted as the world decided to put their time and resources on learning about quirks, and because of this smartphones are still the same from my previous world and no sign of flying cars as well. But the medical and bio technology fields had crossed leaps and bounds on developing new innovations with some rather interesting concepts.
Right now I'm just scrolling through pages and pages of information about past vigilantes and their work. Most of them tend to do the regular hero stuff without a license and some do vigilante work in the background. But the ones who were unfortunate enough to get caught were either sentenced to prison or given a hero licence depending upon the type of 'services' they offered.
The day I decided to become a Vigilante I thought about many things. Like the pros and cons of being one and the biggest con would be me being hated by everyone. Heroes, villians, civilians, the police and many more. But the biggest advantage that I have specifically lets me ignore quirk laws altogether because you can't break a quirk law if you don't have one. That being said I would have to break other kinds of laws which would grant me the title of " Vigilante".
I've also been thinking about the type of vigilante work I want to do and it would be somewhat similar to what the Crawler does. You see, whenever he spots a villian making a ruckus he would first lure them away from civilians and then contact the heroes while he keeps the villian at bay and waits for backup. It's a boring but safe tactic.
But I've decided to work on the background like those underground heroes and stop Petty crimes that doesn't come under a hero's radar. The costume that I'll be wearing is all black from top to bottom and I'll also have to wear a mask that covers the lower half of my face(also black). The only thing remaining is my vigilante name and I kind of want to name myself Daredevil.
And I think that'll be fine because sadly like One Piece, Marvel and DC comics also don't exist here. And the only reason I'm leaning towards Daredevil is because personally I want to be a lawyer and I've decided to do vigilante work as well. So in the future, I can by day be Kosuke Kurogane, Personal Attorney and by night, I'm out in the streets like Daredevil.
Now you may ask that if I'm doing that then why go all black. Why not wear a red suit? And the simplest of answers is because I'll be doing this at night and wearing black would let me blend with the darkness. Also, wearing red is like having a target on my back. Too easy to notice.
'Ding Dong'
I looked at the time and it was 8:00 pm. 'Must be my dad. Though it's a bit late for him.'
"Ko-chan! Come down dinners ready!!" My mom shouted from downstairs, probably from the kitchen. I bookmarked the remaining pages and switched off the PC. I went down to the living room and there was my father and beside him were surprisingly Reyes and even Dr.Hamada.
These two wouldn't just drop by without any reason and Dr.Hamada even more so. The man runs a clinic and is busy 24/7. But in these few years the doctor has become a family friend / family doctor and my personal healer.
After a sparring session with my master I'd have to visit Dr.Hamada every day(Sundays as well) because when I spar with my master 100% of the time I would have broken something and going home with bandages is a no go. I Don't want my mom to worry about me than she already does.
Currently I've graduated elementary school and when I look back to my school days the only thing that was constant was me fighting some asshole in my school or another school. After the kids in my school learned about my quirkless status shit hit the fan REAL hard.
Some of the little fuckers would come looking for an opportunity to bully me and when a fight broke out and if I won he would bring a gang and if I win again, guess what? one of the kids would go bring a middle schooler from god knows where and rinse and repeat all over again. Now obviously a fight with a middle schooler would result in a beat down but not without me breaking his/her face.
I have a belief that even if I lost a fight the guy who won when looking at the mirror would be reminded that it was not some guy with a strong quirk but a quirkless dude who gave him those wounds he received. Just the thought of that is enough for me to consider it a win.
"Come on Kosuke let's eat." my dad said to me while helping my mom to set up the plates. We all sat down and after an "Itadakimasu" we began to eat. I looked to my right and saw my master just patiently staring at my dad.
I decided to break the silence and called out to Dr.Hamada and my Master and asked them,"Is this a formal visit or a casual one because unlike my mentor Dr.Hamda is a very busy man?" I didn't even have to look as I felt a piercing glare burning a hole in me and one glance at it and I got the message. It was either 'training's gonna be bitch' or 'get ready to be stabbed when you sleep.'
"A formal visit Kosuke-kun." the doctor's answer led my parents to stop eating and looked at me and my siblings with uncertainty.
"So there are some things that me and your mother have to talk to you about." my dad informed us while looking guilty as fuck.
"What is it papa?" questioned my sister while helping Koutaro to eat.
"So.. we all remember last week's incident right?" At that my mom gained somber look while Koutaro just nodded, looking at me or my bandaged chest. The incident happened last Sunday when (cue to flashback)
Last Week:
"Spring season's here so do you know what that means Ko-chan?" asked my mom with a cheerful smile. We were going home after buying some groceries and was treated to ice cream.
"Time to enjoy the Sakura flower viewing I guess." My brother gave a silent laugh while enjoying his ice cream and I say silent because Koutaro can't speak. Not because of his 'still not awakened quirk' but because he was born like that. The doctors said that it was because of his vocal cords that had not matured enough so our family had to learn sign language for his convenience.
Today's a Sunday but Master Reyes had to be somewhere else so I had no classes and was bored out of my mind. I was just lazing around the house when my mom asked me to come with her to help with the groceries.
My dad has gone out of station and my mom can't leave Koutaro alone since my sister is at her friends place. So she promised my brother that he'll get some ice cream so he came along as well.
"The flower viewing sounds nice but that's not it. I'm talking about middle school Ko-chan. You have to decide on a school fast because admissions are closing by the end of the month." Yeah. That sure is a problem alright.
Not the middle school part because obviously I HAVE to join one but it's the where to join part. If I join in any middle school in Tokyo I'll be serving myself on a silver platter because I've had just one too many fights with middle schoolers from various schools. My mom wanted an answer for a while and I've been ignoring it. Maybe I'm just paranoid and should just pick a middle school at random.
"Koutaro?!" came the panicked voice of my mother which cut me off from my stray thoughts.
"Ko-chan! Did you see where Koutaro went?!" I shook my head and also started to search for him. It's already evening and will get dark in about half an hour. Me and my mom asked around the area but the locals had not seen him. We decided to go back and search the way we came but just then we heard someone calling out to us
"Ma'am! Hey here!" I turned around to find a fat man wearing an apron who was sweeping the dust before his shop. "A kid went this way just 5 minutes ago!" he exclaimed while pointing to the direction of a warehouse. Not wasting anymore time we went there quickly and my impatient mother swung open the doors as violently as she could.
We went in and on the ground there was ice cream. Koutaro's ice cream and some barely noticeable footprints. My mom didn't notice it and frankly I wouldn't as well if not for the training that Master Reyes gave me. I motioned my mom to follow me and I tracked the footprints to a room upstairs.
This shit was getting creepy real fast and I had a gut feeling that this wasn't going to end well. And one of my Master's advise is to trust in those gut feelings. I gulped as I opened the door and went in a little further to find my brother lying on the floor.
Immediately I rushed to his side and put a finger on his neck to check for a pulse. That's a relief. He's just unconscious.' I thought as I told my mom about my brother's condition. She quickly came in and the minute she entered the room the door closed shut and fear crept on us both.
I looked around to find someone or something? and got startled when a raspy masculine voice echoed around the room.
"Now what do we have here? A mother and her precious little children in an abandoned warehouse. How unfortunate you must be." I followed the sound of the voice and looked up at the ceiling to find a figure who looked like the freaking Slender Man without the tentacles with the suit he was wearing, but couldn't make out his face with all the darkness around the room.
He jumped from the ceiling and landed between me and my mom while Koutaro by my side. My mom was scared shitless and I could see the tears in the corner of her eyes. But I was somewhat relieved because an unknown enemy is more dangerous than the one in front of us.
This guy was all about the theatrics and to me it was clear as day because he was going by the books and using fear tactics. He clearly baited us and left those prints and even an unsuspecting bystander as clues to find him.
'But the question is why? What's his game here? Why go to such lenghts to bring us here? His body language shows me that he's confident and his eyes wander off to Koutaro in between his speeches. Just what the fuck does he want?' All of my thoughts came to a stop because suddenly he turned to my side and decided to creep the fuck out of me.
"Do not be scared my child. I don't wish to hurt you or your dear mother." His eyes were now fixated on Koutaro and also leaned too close to my face showing his creepy and disgusting smile as he continued, "Just give me the kid and you can go home."
'This lying piece of shit. The fuck does he want with my brother? But one thing is clear now. He needs my brother for some reason and is giving us a warning while indirectly threatening our lives.' I couldn't keep dawdling any longer and there is a limit to his patience and everything he scripted is running out quickly.
Acting fast I swiped at his leg from my crouched position and carried Koutaro to my mom. I quickly turned around and he was gone. This dude IS playing his cards right. He wants me to look around and when I fail to find him it will make me fear him.
So I just stood there protectively while focusing on listening to any sound he makes. But the weird part is he wasn't making any. And by now I guessed that he should have some kind of an invisibility quirk and went into a boxer's defensive stance.
And the timing couldn't be more right as I felt a jab on my arm and looked up slightly to see him but he wasn't there. ' This is definitely something close to an invisibility quirk but why can't I hear him? Just what is so unique about his qui-'
"Ko-chan look out!!" my mom exclaimed while interrupting my thoughts and right there I made a mistake of looking back to my mom in confusion and felt a strong blow to my liver as I fell down.
I coughed and held the side of my torso and asked my mom," Wha- Ow shit! Whew...just what did you mean by that?" I questioned my mom while still holding the side of the pain.
My mom looked like I was talking about big foot or something and said in a matter of fact tone, "Ko-chan he's right there and he's laughing like a maniac. Why didn't you dodge him? Actually why are you even fighting him? Come we can quickly escape and call the heroes."
While my mom was urging me for an escape I only held a dumbfounded look. Suddenly it all made sense to me about his theatrics and his confidence which also gave me an idea. I sighed deeply and asked, "Mom. What's he doing now?"
"He's pacing around the room like he's searching for something. And he's still laughing like a maniac." I looked back and saw nothing and heard nothing. So my theory about his quirk is somewhat right.
"Mom. We can't escape because right now we are in his homeground and while we know nothing, he knows this place like the back of his hand. I have to fight him and even if we called a hero it would be too late because by then..he would have accomplished his task. So right now I want you to be my eyes and ears and guide me. Okay?"
My mom looked at Koutaro and shifted her gaze to the right side of the room. She looked at me and nodded once while I did the same.
' Let's hope that this works and if not then I'm definitely going to die, so if there is a chance just please let me be reborn in the DxD universe if I die. Please!' I turned back to the fight and went into the same defensive stance, getting ready for the next strike.
"What is he up to mom?"
"He has something in his hand and is playing with it. Wait I'll check properly." saying this she used her quirk Multivision to activate Night vision mode and gasped loudly.
But before she could warn me I felt a stinging pain in my arm and it looked like it was cut or is it slashed? I realized it a bit too late as the mad man stabbed me in the chest with his knife and all I could do was hold the knife in place so it doesn't reach my heart. I could also tell that it was a butterfly knife from everything I compiled.
The pain subsided for a moment as I had a rush of adrenaline and performed a two hit combo and hit nothing. Or so it seemed but the pressure on the knife was released so I took it out and tossed it to the far side of the room.
Mommy dearest took advantage of the situation and guided me to where he was while I was throwing out punches that hit nothing which looked like I was practicing shadow boxing.
But this method can only work as far as he doesn't target my eyes and ears i.e my mom. "Ko-chan roll backwards and stomp at a 70 degree angle during mid roll. Quick!"
Now that was just weird but I followed through her instructions and again I felt like I was kicking the air. I flipped forward and took up an attacking stance and went for a punch when my mom called out to me again .
"Do not punch him. He'll dodge it easily. Kick upwards like your kicking a football and then punch downwards." I didn't even question her this time and did it exactly like she said.
Next, I imagined him getting kicked in the face and being punched in the chest so without wasting any time for anymore instructions I performed a one inch punch and two seconds later I finished it off with a Chuck Norris style round house kick.
"He's down!! Ko-chan you did it!!!" my mom exclaimed with excitement and vigour and I too could now see him down for the count. I eased up and staggered as I sat near the wall for support while clenching my stab wound.
Sometime during the fight my mom called the authorities since I could hear the muffled sound of sirens from outside. I was losing a lot of blood since I was moving around and before I could pass out I asked my mom how she predicted the villian's moves.
Her answer was to simply look at Koutaro and I too followed her direction and was stunned. In the darkness where I couldn't see Koutaro I saw his right eye. It was glowing in a bright silver and the next thing I knew I woke up at Dr.Hamada's clinic, surrounded by family.
It was later that we found out that Koutaro had awakened his quirk a while back in school and that he himself didn't know about it. We went to the doctor and found out that his quirk was an amalgamation of both my parents quirks but it was also mutated to form an entirely different quirk which the doctor simply called "Future Vision".
The specifications were simple enough but the creation of this quirk is why it is amazing. My dad's quirk is Hyper Scanning which lets him know the specifications of any non living thing while my mother's quirk Multivision can be used to switch to almost any kind of vision from night vision, infrared, thermal etc.
Koutaro's quirk is called Future vision because it gives him a detailed spec on the future that WILL happen because unlike Nighteye who's quirk lets him peer into the future of another person and while the future that he sees may or may not happen Koutaro's future prediction is set in stone as he looks into the future from his perspective. This also why only his right eye flashes and his left eye doesn't. For Koutaro it would be like looking at both the present and future at the same time.
And this was why the villian decided to kidnap him and wanted to have some fun by killing me and mom. But ultimately he failed and for the first time ever I was praised for fighting someone. And by my mother nonetheless.
The police also informed us about his quirk and my theory was spot on. His quirk forcible sense block lets him to block out an individual's senses which makes him invisible to his target. But he can use his quirk on only a single person at a time.
It truly was a narrow victory because this guy was wanted for homicide, theft and even sexual assault. I let out a relieved sigh and was secretly jealous of my brother's quirk. I can now only hope to be a late bloomer if I want a quirk. (end of flashback)
Present Time:
The dinner table was quite for a moment and then my sister answered with a nod so my dad continued," Well with the recent incident in mind and with Naruhata being dangerous, me and your mom have decided to get a new house in another place."
"And that's bad because..." I looked at them for an answer and my mom spoke up.
"Ko-chan we are shifting to Musutafu by the end of the week."
