CHAPTER START---

---6 AM...

Walking through the halls of his Hero Agency, Endeavor has a smirk on his face as he moves toward his office. Leaving his personal chambers after his morning workout and shower, he's excited for Shoto's arrival in a few hours.

He'd finally get to show his son exactly what kind of Hero he is. The result of a lifetime of hard work and dedication. He hopes that just maybe Shoto would be impressed and soften up to him.

Getting to the top floor Endeavor opens the door to his office, and his mood immediately sours.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he asks.

His office was absolutely massive and high-end, with two couches with a coffee table between them. His desk is off to the side with a wall behind it. And to the right of his desk was a glass wall overlooking Tokyo.

Currently, Horizon was sitting on one of the couches scrolling through his phone, head nodding along to the music being played into his visor. Sword leaning against the couch at his side.

Tapping his phone a few times he puts it down and looks over at the furious Endeavor. "I was just checking my post. People are excited, I posted a picture in here to announce my internship."

Endeavor stomps over to him and glares down at Horizon, "I mean, what are you doing in my office, in my building? How did you get inside?"

"Uh...I can warp, obviously. What you think I need doors, like a peasant?"

Endeavor wants to yell at the boy, but instead, he takes a deep breath and the flames on his shoulders and face dissipate.

Without a word he moves to sit opposite Horizon and just silently stares at him, trying to figure out how to approach this situation.

"Is Shoto here already?" Endeavor asks.

"Nah he's probably just getting ready for UA, I took my Hero Costume and spent the night in Tokyo."

"You aren't supposed to have your Hero Costume outside of school under normal circumstances like that," Endeavor narrows his eyes at Horizon.

"So?"

Endeavor sighs, expecting this to be difficult but already getting sick of the attitude. "Do you want tea? Can you drink tea?" he wasn't sure what the deal was with Horizons visor.

"I can, but I don't. I'm good for now," Horizon says. "So, can we just get to the point please? You never offer students internships or work studies. Shoto is obvious because it's your kid, but why me?"

"Hmm, I appreciate that you don't like small talk," Endeavor admits. "The reason I extended an offer to you is because, I want to ask you some Questions."

"My Quirk is none of your business."

"Tch, not about that, about your parents..."

"Mmm," Horizon growls lowly and sits up. "What, you didn't learn from what happened to Shoto? Are all the Todorokis gonna need me to teach them this lesson?"

"I want to know how they succeeded where I failed," Endeavor says quickly, causing Horizon to pause for a moment then leaned back into the couch.

"Ok... you have my attention, explain yourself."

"I assume Shoto told you about...my mistakes."

"Mistakes? You mean the child neglect, child abuse, domestic abuse, Quirk marriage, Quirk breeding, all that shit?"

Endeavor looks ashamed, eyes dropping down to the table between them. "Yes, my mistakes."

"Ok, what about them?" Horizon asks casually, as if they were talking about the weather.

This confuses Endeavor, he'd expected hate and anger, not, nonchalance. "You...aren't angry?"

"Huh, why would I be angry? Not my family, not my problem. Who gives a fuck what you do in your house," Horizon shrugs.

"That...is concerning."

"It's more concerning that the #2 Hero is such a shitty dad, so you're in no position to judge anyone here."

Endeavor nods in agreement.

"And if you brought me here for family therapy, sorry but I'm not that kind of doctor. I deal in real medicine, not make-believe bullshit."

"Therapy is real."

"For real pussies is what you mean," Horizon scoffs. "If you've got problems just get over it."

Endeavor blinks a few times, taking a moment to really wrap his mind around what kind of person he was currently talking to. Not at all liking the idea of someone so powerful with this kind of mentality. But as Horizon said, he's in no situation to be judging anyone, so he just lets it go.

"I want to know how you were raised," Endeavor says in a serious voice, getting them on topic. "Shoto was born and raised to be the absolute strongest, but in raising and training him, I destroyed my family.

I allowed my ambition to burn everything and everyone around me, they all hate me, I hate me, for what I've done. For all I didn't do.

I want...I want to atone. I don't think I want them to forgive me, I don't think I can be forgiven. But I'd at least like for them all to be together, even if it is without me."

"Very touching I'm sure," Horizon rolls his eyes beneath the visor. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"You."

"Me?"

"When I saw you defeat Shoto, when I heard about your Quirk. I realized it was all a pointless ambition of mine. And when I thought Shoto died...I didn't know what to do. I'd never felt so...so powerless. I wanted nothing more than to get a second chance, to fix everything I did to my family. And then you put him back together, and I got my second chance."

Horizon chuckles at that, causing Endeavor to glare at him. "Sorry, sorry. It's just that...I beat Shoto so bad you got character development," another chorus of chuckles.

"Can you help me or not!" Endeavor yells, flames erupting on him again, now pissed off. "Your parents trained you to be powerful, yet you always speak of them with love, how?"

"Alright alright," Horizon raises his hands in surrender. "But I need something from you."

"Huh?"

"Work studies, at your agency."

Endeavor calms down, now more professional as they discuss business. "Hmm, my Hero Agency is the most successful in Japan, working here you'd likely be able to make more money than anywhere else, even as a student."

"Don't care about the money. A standard contract is fine," Horizon says. "I've got more money than I know what to do with already. I just need to work at the best agency, under the best hero. Most of my work will be independent after I learn how you operate."

Endeavor raises a brow at that. "Shouldn't you be trying to get All Might to teach you?"

"I need someone skillful, not a meathead that's just born strong. You're my gold standard for Pro Heroes, you're the only option for me."

Endeavor smiles at that, hearing someone actually acknowledge his skill and hard work instead of just gawking at All Might's raw power. "Alright, but you'll need to get your Provisional License first, so the contract will have to wait until next year."

"June actually," Horizon says. "I'll be taking the exam early, everyone else has to wait a bit longer."

"Hmm, I see, you've got yourself a deal," Endeavor leans forward and shakes his hand.

This was everything Horizon needed. A spot in a well-connected agency that gets a lot of big cases, he'd get Hero Network access from Nezu, then he can start resolving incidents and solving cases solo after he figures out how Endeavor operates and adapts his style.

"Ok," Horizon starts, and Endeavor focuses on not missing a single word. "From what I understand you basically made a kid and forced him to be a hero and it destroyed your family. I don't know how to fix it, but a major difference that my parents did is that they didn't force me to do anything."

"What?"

"When my Quirk first manifested, we thought it was a dud, a completely useless Quirk. I was crying, and my dad offered to teach me medicine. He knew I was hoping for a Quirk like his so I could help out in the clinic.

I asked him to teach me, so all the stress and studying I had to deal with, it was all my choice.

A few weeks later I asked mom to teach me how to take care of myself, to be an adventurer like her. I wanted to help her out one day, so she began teaching me.

I could have just decided to do nothing and be nothing...maybe things would have turned out better that way.

But I chose to learn from them. They would have loved me either way. From the moment I was born I was already perfect in their eyes, because I'm their son, and that will always be enough. True unconditional love, I'll never get that anywhere else.

But I chose to live a life of hard work and pain, I chose to learn everything they knew and take it to heights unimagined. I chose to become Horizon. It was all my choice.

You removed the option for anyone in your family to choose, you forced your dream onto them. How could they ever not hate you for that?

Obviously, there is a lot more to it than that, but this is just the main difference I see, because I imagine many of the harsh, painful lessons my parents taught me, were a lot worse than what you did. Partly because they knew I could just heal myself. But I asked for it so that's on me.

But I'd imagine it helped a lot that, well...I'm not a pussy," he shrugs. "Anyway, that's my take on it."

"I see," Endeavor rubs his chin, deep in thought. "I have much to think about. As for your internship. I'll have to leave you in the care of my head sidekick Burnin, Shoto needs help controlling his fire so that's what I'll be focusing on with him for a while. We won't be leaving the gym here, you and Burnin will operate as usual for this agency."

"Sounds perfect."

"Good, I'll have Burnin show you to your room later...and teach you to use doors. Don't just warp into rooms like you did earlier."

"People who can warp, should warp. I don't tell you not to have those ridiculous flames on your shoulder and face...serious, a flame mustache, really?"

"My Quirk use isn't illegal, and my flames don't look ridiculous!"

Capítulo 75: CHAPTER 071(Tokyo Central Bank)

Discord: https://discord.gg/t7bHrdRY7Y

pat.reon: Keanu_Eugene (30+ chapters ahead)

CHAPTER START---

Aside from a stopping few minor thefts, Horizon hadn't done anything exciting on the first day of his internship. Today would be much more exciting.

Walking through Tokyo with Burnin -Moe Kamiji-, Horizon is one step behind her as people constantly stare at them on the crowded streets.

Burnin was a young lady, Endeavor's most famous and powerful Sidekick. Her Hero Costume was rather simple. A grey double-breasted mini-dress with orange and black lining and accents. Two rows of buttons down the front of it and short slits at the sides so she can move easier.

Her belt has a temperature gauge for a buckle and a small fire extinguisher at the back of it. Strong thick legs in knee-high socks and short boots. And a pretty face was somewhat hidden beneath a black mask.

But in reality, the mask barely did anything.

Beacuse her entire costume was topped off with a head of green fire for hair. Seemingly appearing more like a liquid that's frozen in place, wild and messy. Perfectly matching her fiery personality and rambunctious nature.

All fit into a 169cm -5ft6.5- package, one inch shorter than Momo. Walking in front of Horizon the top of her head just barely reaches his neck.

Burnin raises a hand and stops abruptly, focusing in on the earpiece connecting her to the Endeavor Agency.

"What's going on?" Horizon asks.

A moment later she turns around and looks up at him, "some villains attacked the Tokyo Central Bank and took hostages, the cops want us there to help out, let's go!"

Without waiting for any response Burni's hair expands and all the loose piece meld together and grow, lifting her off the street and rocketing into the air.

Now soaring over the streets below she begins the somewhat long trip further into the heart of Tokyo to go help out.

"Great...this is gonna suck," Horizon mutters as he sees her disappear over the buildings. Already knowing he'd be quickly drained after this.

ROOM!

He opens the largest room he can, 7km in every direction, 2km more than before he joined UA. Having such a wide open space to train has done wonders for him already. This brings his area of influence to a total 14km diameter. As always he's in the middle, a blessing sometimes, and a curse in moments like these.

Focusing toward the southeast of his room he tries to find anything he can swap with.

SCAN!

The influx of information is instantly processed, but he can feel the toll on his mental stamina from scanning such a large area.

SHAMBLES!

He swaps for a candy wrapper he located in a back alley before instantly closing his ROOM.

"Four more of these to go..." he mutters, and starts the taxing process all over again.

SHAMBLES!

Law appears on a sidewalk, one more warp away from his destination. He shakes his head to stay focused, and opens another room.

SCAN!

'Oh, you can't be serious...' he sighs, finding nothing to swap to...an entire area of the city completely cleared out because of this bank heist. 'Fuck it.'

He raises his hand and flicks a finger upward.

TAKT!

At his desired location a peddle is ripped out of the sidewall by a seemingly invisible force.

Focusing on small objects is already difficult. With TAKT, if he can see them it's much easier to command them to move. Using SCAN and TAKT to move things that he's far away from him is taxing but has its uses.

But TAKT has a limit that only he and his parents know about.

Without adding much more energy and focus he can only command things to move as fast as gravity would naturally allow them.

For example, he can only move a rock as fast as it would naturally fall. Increasing the speed and force requires more energy, eventually leading to diminishing returns on his stamina use.

So ripping a pebble out of the floor, from this far away, without being able to even see it...

With his ROOM already pushed to the limit, it felt as if he tried to rip the sports festival stage out of the floor.

SHAMBLES!

He appears in a deserted alley one building away from the police barricade.

Immediately shutting down his Quirk he leans against the wall, taking a moment to catch his breath. Squeezing his eyes shut he regains his focus enough so that nobody would realize he isn't at full strength and stands up straight, walking toward the police barricade as if nothing happened.

In truth without the need to follow the rules and maintain his heroic image, he could have covered the 28km much easier.

Open a room, swap for a car or even a dumpster, something big enough that he doesn't have to strain his mind to find and lock onto it.

But he's Horizon. He doesn't move people's property so freely. Finding litter was the more heroic option, therefore that's what he did.

The last thing he wants is people questioning his Quirk use, especially since he doesn't have a Provisional License yet so this is all technically illegal Quirk use.

And as for ripping a piece of the ground out, he knows he can't make a habit of that. Property damage is what keeps people like Mt. Lady poor and low in the rankings after all.

'So what if a few people die because I take longer,' he thinks to himself. 'The important thing is that if this was going to be some rampaging monster like the USJ Nomu, I'd need to show up at full strength. I need to figure out this mobility problem.'

Walking out of the alley he sees a mob of news teams already set up with cameras and mics. Beyond them is a line of policemen and 10 Pro Heroes, all waiting patiently for an opening in this standoff.

Behind the news teams are a mob of civilians, so swept up in the idea of heroes that they don't even realize how dangerous this situation is, so confident that nothing would happen to them and heroes would take care of it all.

'Disgusting, the bystander effect in full action...' Horizon thinks as he walks up, making a show of it.

"Excuse me, can I please get by!" He loudly asks, causing the crowd to turn around and stare at him.

A chorus of cheers and chattering erupts as all the cameras turn to him, and one lucky reporter manages to shove a mic toward his face as he pushes through the crowd.

"Horizon! Do you think the hostages will be ok?!" The reporter asks, and Horizon stops.

The crowd waits anxiously for his answer, some of them having family and friends trapped inside, now seeing a shining beacon of hope that the situation would be taken care of.

That Principal Nezu's bet, the future Symbol Of Peace has arrived to save them.

Turning to the reporter Horizon speaks in a gentle voice, still sounding somewhat mechanical. "You don't need to worry, everyone will be fine."

"Are more Pros coming?" another reporter asks, "the current Pros have just been standing about doing nothing, how long until enough Pros are here to go in and deal with these villains?!"

Horizon looks at him and chuckles before answering, "this problem is already resolved, you have all the heroes you need, because I am Horizon, and that's enough..." he walks past the police barricade without saying another word.

Stepping into the police area Horizon sees the massive bank, large white columns, and a stone staircase leading to the door. All the windows were currently painted over, a bright purple color, as well as the glass doors.

Looking up to the nearby rooftops he sees armored police officers with rifles aimed at the building, trigger fingers itchy and waiting for the right order. He also sees a few Pros he's standing spread out in case any of the robbers try to run. None of them having a Quirk applicable to this situation unless a fight happens.

"Horizon, this way please," one of the officers says, even the regular uniformed officers wore bulletproof vests and were carrying around rifles, obviously ready to put these criminals down if necessary.

Following the man he's led into a mobile command unit, a small room with monitors connected to nearby street cameras to keep eyes on the building. In it are a few people on headphones looking at the screen and coordinating efforts, likely calling in more Pros, and standing behind them is an officer in a trench coat pacing back and forth.

He was an older gentleman with grey hair and a thin mustache, but his eyes seemed youthful the moment they landed on Horizon.

"Horizon."

"Captain?" Horizon asks while shaking his hand.

"Yes, I'm the captain in charge of this operation," the man looks confused for a moment. "The Endeavor Agency told us you'd arrive with Burnin..."

"I can warp, she has to fly, I got here first. I don't think we have time to waste with innocent lives at stake sir."

"Agreed," the man nods. "Endeavor is busy but your dispatcher at the agency was confident your Quirk could handle this situation."

"What's the situation?"

The captain leads him to a table with a floor plan of the bank, he points at the vault room, "a dozen men, one of them has a Drill Quirk, transforms his arms into drills, he's breaking into the vault here."

"How long until he gets in?"

"It's been ten minutes so I'd rather not find out."

"Hostages?" Horizon asks.

The man points to the main floor of the bank, "two dozen, men, women, they let the kids go. But one of the kids had a note, said they strapped half a pound of C4 to each hostage, and they claim that the lead guy is holding a dead man's trigger."

"So if he gets shot or hurt, boom..."

"Exactly," the captain says. "We managed to get some intel on their Quirks. Nothing that packs a punch, basic strength enhancer, and some standard Mutant Quirks."

"Alright," Horizon nods. "Let's confirm what we can."

ROOM!

He closes his eyes and focuses, his ROOM expanding to cover everything for 200 meters in every direction.

"Get some men to clear the sewer system," Horizon says.

"What?" the captain taps one of the men behind him who immediately take off his headset to listen in.

"They entered through the front door but they've got another guy with a drill Quirk in the sewer. And he's got one big guy with him."

The captain looks surprised and confused, but he's ultimately grateful.

"Half a pound of C4 times 24, that's a dozen pounds, not enough to bring down a building that size but anyone in the main room when it goes off is probably dead...the Pros on hand should be enough if these guys are as weak as you say. Ok, I've got a plan that can end this now..."

ROOM!

Law takes a deep breath as his Quirk deactivates.

"I'm listening..." the captain says.

Five minutes later Horizon is standing with nearly fifty officers and 8 Pros, two having just arrived. They were all facing the front of the building ready for action. There was an assortment of rocks scattered about on the street which they were all staring at, guns lowered.

The news cameras were confused at what was going on, then they saw Horizon raise his hand. And snap his fingers.

SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES!

The two dozen hostages suddenly appear where some of the rocks were, without the bombs strapped to them.

For a moment they look bewildered and confused, then some of their eyes settled on Horizon and they slowly began to realize what was going on.

The surrounding crowd began to cheer as the police escorted the hostages to safety until this situation was resolved.

A moment later all the cops returned and pointed their guns at the remaining rocks, ready for action at a moment's notice.

Horizon raises his hand again, making a show of snapping his fingers.

SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES!

Thirteen naked and unarmed men suddenly appear in front of them, immediately freezing at the sight of all the guns aimed at them. And in the middle of all the officers, Horizon stood with his sword drawn and also pointed at them.

"You should surrender, this isn't a good look," Horizon says.

Half the men raise their hands, the others keep them down to preserve what little dignity they had left.

Less than a minute later all the men were arrested, each wearing handcuffs and a cloth sheet, stuffed into the back of armored trucks.

The captain walks up to Horizon as the men are sent off, giving him an apprehensive look.

"You sure about this?" he asks Horizon.

"Of course," Horizon says. "If I warp him and he moves his finger the bombs go off, and we can't take their word for it that it's only C4, the best course of action is to make sure they never go off, this ensures that."

"Assuming he doesn't freak out when it happens," the captain says.

"I'll get ahold of it before he can do that, trust me."

"I obviously do...just, cutting people up is really freaky..."

"I get that a lot."

"Well at least wear a vest," the captain says. "Your circumstance is pretty unique so I'm letting you use your Quirk, but if you get hurt then we both get in serious trouble, you could get expelled and I'll go to jail like those guys..."

"How about a camera, I'll warp away if things go bad, I promise."

"Fine...I really hope I don't regret this..."
