Chapitre 6: Chapter 6
"And this is the Support Department," Present Mic said to a quiet Gakki.
Gakki was still processing all the information from him, having seven different DNA signatures in him, too him not even existing. It was hard for Gakki to concentrate on the tour the Mic was giving him.
"Hey, Little listener, I know this will be hard on you. But you will have us okay." Mic said with compassion. "Why don't we go get some Ice cream?" Mic asked, which made Gakki perk up in excitement.
As they left the U.A., Nezu, Aizawa, and Chiyo sat in Nezu's office discussing what to do with Gakki.
"So, was there anything else you discovered about Gakki?" Nezu asked Chiyo.
"When I scanned his body, I found that his entire body was covered in that plastic-like material, even his organs," Chiyo concluded with disgust.
"Is that not his quirk?" Aizawa asked, confused.
Chiyo shook her head before replying. "No, he told me and demonstrated what his quirk is. It's called Orchestra, allowing him to copy and play different instruments from his mouth with different effects. That's the reason he has that device on his neck. He only showed me one before that blood sample I took was done." Chiyo said
"And what was this instrument?" Nezu asked, interested.
"It was the harp, the same one he has been holding on to. I felt safe and warm, like a loved one was comforting me." Chiyo admits.
"Is that all it does?" Aizawa asked.
Chiyo shook her head before answering. "He wrote down a list of all the effects. I have the list here." She then handed it to Aizawa to look over.
Aizawa started to read, and the more he read, the wider his eyes widened. The list piqued Nezu's curiosity. What could make the ordinarily stoic hero so surprised? Once Aizawa finished, he handed the list.
"Wow, just, wow." was all Aizawa said.
Nezu started to read, and what he read amazed him. He started cackling louder and louder the more he read.
The list of instruments and their effects:
Harp: buff (Healing, a feeling of safety and warmth), Debuff (None)
Violin: buff (Stamina regen, a sense of calmness), Debuff (Stamina drain, a feeling
of tiredness)
Piano: buff (Intelligence boost, a sense of comfort), Debuff (Narrow-mindedness, a feeling of arrogance )
Guitar: buff (Fearlessness, a feeling of determination), Debuff (Primal fear, a sense of impending doom)
Drum set: buff (Adrenaline rush, a sense of excitement), Debuff (Slow reaction, a feeling of frustration)
Cymbals: buff (Sharpened perception, a sense of readiness), Debuff (Stun, a feeling of blankness)
Triangle: buff/debuff (Laughter, a feeling of childishness)
Lomuty: buff (guardian, a feeling of protection), debuff (pain multiplier, a sense of weakness)
Flute: buff (Speed boost, a feeling of freedom), debuff (Slow motion, a sense of entrapment)
Tuba: buff (Strength boost, a feeling of power), debuff (muscle fatigue, a sense of powerlessness)
Saxophone: buff (stabilized footing, a feeling of balance), debuff (vertigo, sensation of dizziness)
Harmonica: buff (accuracy boost, a feeling of certainty), debuff (double vision, a sense of confusion)
Once Nezu finished reading, he had his teeth bared in excitement.
"I don't care how it happens, but I want him at this school—most preferably a hero student," Nezu concluded, conviction in his statement.
"I agree. We need more healing heroes." Chiyo agreed with as much conviction.
Aizawa just sighed before he spoke. "We don't even know how old he is. Or if he even wants to be a hero."
"Well, the age isn't a problem. Gakkis around 14 years old." Chiyo countered.
"And even if he doesn't want to be a hero, we have other courses," Nezu concluded.
"You just want him to come to the U.A. for the intelligence boost." Aizawa countered.
Nezu neither confirmed nor denied that statement. Aizawa just sighed before grumbling. "The stamina regen would be nice."
Chiyo and Nezu snicker at what Aizawa admits. They talked about all the possibilities Gakki's quirk could bring to heroes.
"Do you know anything specific about Gakki's quirk? Like how many instruments he can use at once or if he can select targets?" Aizawa asked, already coming up with plans to train him.
Chiyo shook her head. "I didn't get a chance to ask before his blood work returned," Chiyo answered.
"Well, we can ask him and test all these questions once he returns, which should be soon," Nezu said excitedly.
"That's all good, but what are we going to do about him having the mentality of a six-year-old?" Chiyo asked.
Both Aizawa and Nezu paused to think about it before Nezu perked up with an answer.
"Do we know if it will be permanent? Or will he gradually catch up to his actual age? Nezu asked Chiyo.
Chiyo shrugged. "I don't know. Since a quirk affects Gakki, it could be a day to forever." Chiyo answered, getting worked up again that an innocent child must be put through this.
"Then there's nothing we can do but wait and hope that the quirk wears off. Until then, I don't see why we should punish Gakki by not allowing him to join the U.A.," Nezu concluded.
"Nezu, are you sure about this? I want him here like the rest, but it could damage his mental health." Chiyo warned before continuing. "We should get Ryo to give Gakki a mental evaluation."
Aizawa sighed once more before talking. "I agree with Chiyo. I couldn't, in suitable conscience, let someone that Ryo seems unfit for hero work. But even if that's so, Gakki could be put into a different course."
Nezu took a sip of tea before answering. "I can accept that. Tomorrow would be a good time for Gakki to meet with Ryo."
A knock on the door interrupted the adults. The door opened, and Gakki walked in, visibly shaking with fear and a bruise forming on his cheek, with a snarling Ryo, his hand around the back of Gakki's neck. Ryo, better known as Hound Dog. He is 6'5 with the appearance of a dog, a scruffy mane of blond hair, and a muzzle around his snout. The three adult sweats dropped at what they were seeing.
"I found this intruder. Why aren't the alarms going off?" Ryo asked, his voice gruff.
Nezu just took a deep breath before asking. "Gakki, could you explain how this happened?"
Gakki was so scared that he couldn't answer. Aizawa noticed this and activated his quirk. His eyes went red, and his hair started to rise. This spooked Ryo enough for him to let go of Gakki, which he took full advantage of, and dashed behind Nezu's desk. But with his height, his head was poking out.
Aizawa deactivated his quirk before yelling at Ryo. "This is Gakki, and we welcomed him here. Now explain why you thought he was an intruder?"
Ryo looked nervously at Nezu before answering. "Well, he was next to the teacher's bathroom, in a pose like he was about to attack whoever would come out of the bathroom. His senit was also full of deceit."
Everyone then looked at Gakki, which made him jump a little.
"I just wanted to scare Present Mic when he got out of the bathroom," Gakki admitted, which got a snort out of Aizawa.
Present Mic stormed into the office as if called and panted while asking. "H-hey, have y-you seen Gakki? I-ive seemed to-." Mic stopped when he saw Gakki behind Nezu's desk with his legs in his chest and rocking back and forth. "What happened?!" Mic yelled, accidentally activating his quirk while running up to Gakki.
"We need to calm down," Nezu said calmly but with authority.
Everyone stopped and looked at Nezu. And they waited for him to continue. Nezu took a sip of his tea and continued once he was done.
"This is Gakki. Present Mic found him in a basement where that explosion was. We discussed him having a session with you, but he might be too scared now." Nezu said in his cheerful but disappointed tone.
Ryo shuddered at Nezu's words and stepped towards Gakki to apologize. Gakki flinched, remembering getting slammed into the wall.
"Look, Gakki. I'm sorry for overreacting." Ryo apologized while rubbing the back of his head.
Gakki just stared at Ryo, which made Ryo uncomfortable. It was awkwardly silent after that before Ryo looked at Nezu for help. Nezu chucked before he spoke.
"Well, Gakki, What do you want to do for your future?"
Gakki immediately perked up and looked at Nezu, which he was next to. "I've always wanted to be a hero. So probably a hero." Gakki admitted.
"That's very convenient because this is a hero school, so next month is tryouts if you want to try and get in." Nezu chirped in excitement.
"It will probably be best if he's put through the recommended exam since his quirk probably wouldn't affect robots," Aizawa added, which surprised Present Mic.
"Wow, Aizawa, I didn't think you would want the little listener in the hero course that badly." Mic teased but was shut up by Aizawa shoving the paper with Gakki's quirk description.
No one could see it, but Mic's eyes grew once he read the paper. He looked at Aizawa, who had a slight smirk on his face.
"Ok, I understand why you want him to join now," Mic admitted.
Gakki didn't know how to feel about today. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. From being confused and scared to nervous but excited. Back to being confused and scared and now just enthusiastic for the exam. Gakki hoped it wouldn't be too hard or at least be fun.
