Chương 10: Playing the part and delving into the past
Outside UA High)
Utsu sighs as she heads towards the UA High entranceway shoving the bangs of her red hair aside "I hope this job pays better than my last one, that one was a nightmare" she continues walking until she's greeted by a small white mouse or rat who introduces himself to her as Nezu, the principal of the school. It forced herself to stifle her laughter "You can't be serious…a mouse being principal" she continues to laugh to herself internally while Nezu leads her to his office to discuss what her position will be.
(Elsewhere, Sekai's Virtual Domain)
Sekai sighs as he sits at his desk typing away on his computer attempting to gain access to the files he was sent by Haibu though he struggles to break the encryption Haibu said was on the file when she found it and gets frustrated "Encryptions are getting out of hand lately…Hm but I do this". He types away a bit more and eventually causes the encryption to break allowing him access to the files which contain mostly classified hero reports but also mention something about a "giant man" that vaporised a mountainside "Damn…whoever did that must be strong…better not be Ikari losing his shit again I swear he loses his temper way too often still I guess I should forward this to Genetic they might make use of this".
(UA High)
Utsu finishes her talk with Nezu "So I'm stuck helping to advise the remedial course students for now…I suppose that can't be too bad right?" She heads towards where Nezu directed her to go and she finds Present Mic and All Might.
Shyly introducing herself as the new intern and showing her badge that Nezu gave her seemingly been given the all clear she watches from the bleachers with All Might and Endeavour as the students try to tame the kids from Masegaki Primary School. Utsu watches and chuckles to herself seeing the students unable to handle the kids "Ah such fiery youths these days…reminds me of the joys of being a child… ignorance truly is bliss".
All Might asks her what she was like as a child and she chuckles "Troublesome like these ones but my parents kept me in check and I owe them for it…otherwise I think I'd have blinded many with my lasers". All Might chuckles and smiles softly while remarking that is good she learned discipline while also becoming a better person at such a young age and Utsu thanks him for the compliment.
(Later, General Sports Center)
Eventually Utsu sees the students managed to tame the unruly children and congratulates them before looking at her schedule and seeing if she has anything else to do "Hm let's see…nope I'm free Alr then guess that ends my shift for today, it was pretty short but ig I'll get more jobs after the festival and such is over" she leaves the premises before going down and alley and altering her form back to her female form.
"Ah the memories of UA…I haven't thought about it for so long…I wonder if I'm even remembered anymore…" She sighs and shifts her clothes into a disguise before walking down the street and is met by a disguised Haibu "Are things going to plan?" She smirks under her disguise "Very much so Haibu though our plans might be delayed while I try and see if there's anything worthwhile in UA still" Haibu nods. "Anything you want me to do in the meantime?" Genetic nods "Keep an eye out for anything AFO pulls…just because he's locked up doesn't mean he's out of our game just yet…" Genetic smirks "Let's see who's truly the better evil genius partner…".
(Elsewhere, Hosu City Power Station)
Kansei groans and winces as his body be sparking while he trying to relax "It hurts…so much…I just want it to end" he eventually is forced to get back up and begins going to leave the area when he is suddenly ambushed by a few startup villains "Empty your pockets and we might let you live sparky" Kansei growls "I'd rather see you all deeply fried" they look at him confused before he unleashes a powerful electrical pulse shocking them enough to burn their skin and knock them unconscious but he also ends up knocking out electricity for a few blocks and quickly transforms into electricity and bolts away to avoid being caught eventually stopping many blocks away.
"Phew that was close…Damn that hurt though" he holds his chest and leans against the wall and breathes heavily and takes a few moments to recover his breath before continuing to walk.
(Office Building)
Suji and Butsuri sigh having broken into the office building's middle floors because they heard of useful intel being held there only to find nothing, Butsuri sighs more "What a waste of my time, I could be using it so much better" Suji chuckles "Like doing what aside from feeding your hunger?" Butsuri smirks "Spending time with my lovely and adorable man Ofc~" Suji raises her eyebrows "Wait you and Kotai are a thing?" Butsuri nods "Yep and he's mine so back off!" Suji laughs "Ah don't worry I don't want him anyway I want my own…the shy ones are usually the most precious anyway" Butsuri nods "Indeed they are~…". The two eventually leave the building having found nothing for their efforts.
(The Countryside Outside Of Hosu City Limits)
Ikari growls while using his quirk to create a gigantic crater in the ground "To think I could be out done by another giant!…this one must be strong to vaporise a mountain side I can barely fracture one at my maximum height and strength…I have some improvements to make I think" he growls before continuing to punch away at the ground and surrounding trees until he feels a blast hit his back and turns around to see some rural pro heroes "Are you serious?" They continue blasting at him until he adjusts his size to be 2x his base making him 20 feet tall and immediately pulverises the poor heroes under his boot and fists turning them into red mist that now coats his hands and feet, he sighs "What a mess you weaklings make…". He walks off hoping to find an excuse to use his full height along the way.
(Genetics Lab)
Genetic yawns as she continues her research into the quirk gene and begins experimenting on a human body shell that she created to see if her forced quirk theory works eventually finding that while she cannot directly force certain quirks to be created she can alter the conditions to make it highly likely to be a quirk that suits the environment "There we go that proves my theory…quirks are an evolutionary trait rather than a mistake, after all why would it feel the need to adapt if it wasn't supposed to be here with us…through the singularity theory still holds weight…we are nearing a crisis level hopefully I can stem the tide fast enough". Genetic thinks back on things in her mind "Why do I feel like I'm…losing it a little, I feel so out of place sometimes…what is going on" she shakes her head and continues her experiments while her mind thinks back to another time in her life.
(Flashback)
"Henkō!" "Henkō!" He wakes up suddenly "Huh what is it dad?" His father sighs "You zoned out and fell asleep again I thought you fainted" Henkō rubs his head "No I'm fine dad just tired is all" his father sits down next to him and puts a hand on his shoulder "You've been reading that book all night again haven't you?" Henkō goes to shake his head but stops and instead slowly nods "Yes father…I can't stop it's so…interesting, I wanna know more" his father sighs "Son evolution is a hard thing to understand, even people like me who are payed to study it can barely understand it sometimes.
I'm happy you've found a passion but I think you're trying too hard to understand a concept that doesn't wish to be understood" Henkō raises his eyebrows "Why do you think that dad?" His father breathed deeply before answering "Because I was the same, I wanted to understand how life could evolve like this from simple cells but I never found anything worthwhile…I simply don't want you to risk feeling as disappointed as I was". Henkō chuckles "Dad I won't be disappointed because I know that there is something to find, there must be a reason for all of this otherwise why would it waste its time over the millions of years to build us into…this…it would just be…such a waste".
His father pats his head "I know, I know, but remember what I told you about it…the rules of evolution are the same they've always been…stronger genes survive and the weak die, that's not a horrible thing to say, it's just the sad truth but don't use it as an excuse to do something as horrible and Eugenics…that isn't what's it for" Henkō nods quickly "Yes father, I understand but I'm curious…why do you think we have quirks?" His father chuckles "I think it's the worlds way of testing us, seeing if we can still cope and survive with each other when most of us have powerful abilities but…that's just my theory" Henkō smiles softly before his father leaves the room to go back to doing his work in his study leaving Henkō in his room.
He grabs a book from under his pillow with the title "Origins Of The Species" and begins reading again wondering about what kind of mutation could bring about such a change in human DNA and nature while also letting them develop further and further then they would without it.
