Of all places I thought she would bring me to, it wouldn't have been that impressive. If you don't count in the presence of the huge stacks of junk that people put there by the years, you can see the beautiful sunset reflecting on the gentle waves mooring on the golden sand. The scene was at most charming.
"So that's where we're going to test the more "space needed" gears? That's cool." he said looking peacefully at the sea.
"That's right so let's start right now!" she responds gleefully. "And that's not all! Everything pieces I use for my babies came from here! Isn't that beautiful?! Free materials and cleaning the place! Two birds, one stone. That's being said, you would help me take home lots of it later. For once, I won't be alone transporting everything on my own, hahaha." She was shinning happiness with a once of evilness.
"Oh boy... what a trick" he send back with his right hand stuck on his forehead. "Anyway, it will be like training and I guess I will need parts of these things to create my gears too. So, does this place have a name?"
"Yesss!! Really happy you ask. I call it, the mighty beach because of all the potential it hides." she responds smiling purely proud of her idea "Could actually be a pretty good place to hand out without all these things, even if I love all the free materials. Anyway, ready to finally test this baby!!!"
"I will try my best madam" he said mimicking a army salute "All hail Britannia!!! OUPS! Wrong anime!"
"All right, so put it on first" she said while giving me the metallic punching gloves looking gear. It's heavy but supportable for now, but for long life fight, they will have to work on the weight. "Inside, you should feel buttons triggering the string. One so it's unfold himself, the other one stopping from going any farther and by pressing it again for it to retract again. You will probably need time to be able to use that, but it's only a prototype so even if you break it, you will need to do your own" she explained looking at the sea with stars in the eyes thinking about her futur achievement with this creation. "Oh! And just to say, there is some harpoon like weight by the end of the rope to help get a grasp around things."
"Thanks for the explanations Mei. Now it's time to test it!" Izuku said triggering for the string to get out but didn't expect the come back cause by the mechanic provoking him to fall back flat on his ass and with his free hand supporting him by behind. But it wasn't all with the rope keeping getting out and leading forward by the harpoon. When the rope hit his end, the drawback push Izuku forwards, head first in the ground, eating sand.
Mei couldn't restrain herself from laughing her lungs out and exclaims "You should have stop it like I told you! I will found a way to put more reaching distance next time, but before that, you must apprehend this one yourself."
"Yes, I know that and will do it, no matter what. This is my only option to help people by being a hero. I'm sure not all people will be like you and accept me for who I am and what I want to become instead of my quirk status. I have enough good proof at school. I will have to prove myself even harder than everyone to make my place." He finishs looking sadly at the ground after sitting up.
"Did something new happened at school today?" Mei asked sitting down as well thinking it was a good thing to do with the atmosphere becoming more darker suddenly.
"No, nothing really new. It's been years of insults, disrespectful glares or comments. The days I don't get a new bruise are kind of nice, but tiring too." he tried to smile to prove his point that he was fine, but didn't find the force to lie to Mei by hiding his true feelings like he does with his mother. She is the only one he can relies on for that side of his daily life, not wanting to disturb his mother and reaching for help in the past never succeed. "Thanks for being there for me. Helping me like that without knowing me that much before, not judging me beforehand and... and... a" he couldn't help the tears showing up in his eyes and trying to keep them inside make him chokes, not help him, only getting harder not letting the tears fall.
"Hey, chuuut. It's alright. You did nothing wrong for everyone to treat you like that. I'm sure there is other people who wouldn't mind and see your brave soul and strong heart like I see it." She responds with wet eyes and a wavering smile. Her words were the finale touch that cause his already sensitive emotions to overflow as the waves keep breaking on the shore near them. She soon starts crying with him letting the two teens in a disastrous but peaceful minded state.
