In MHA With Star Platinum

Days were flying as I was having extra time in school. Aizawa seemed to be a nice, yet tough guy at the same time. It's admirable to see how almost like a Quirkless guy like him had to do in order to become a hero. The pointers I got from him during this week were descent.

Since I was so fast, my flexibility level was so high that I didn't need to stretch, my body was ready to learn anything.

Aizawa exclaimed some dilemma when he saw how fast I was learning, and I had broken a wood piece that was behind him. He had even tried to dispel my supposed Quirk, in suspect that my strength may be a result of it. It was funny to see his facial expressions as I did send him flying.

Anyway, after a small training session with him, I can say that my scarf controlling skills had improved. That's what I was looking for.

Anyway, after the small hand to hand combat, I would go to my apartment, which is totally under my mom's control. I miss the old days.

As for my other training that was about flying and using the Ripple to fuse with my stand, I gave it a priority. My speed and reactions speed had improved, as I was floating and moving with Star Platinum when I am in bed. It's a way of training, you know.

Anyway, I can tell I can stick and fly with my stand, with the only problem that was I'm not good to keep up with the super speed, so I'd have to be careful.

'As long as I get used to the flying, eventually, I'd be able to improve.'

One week has passed.

I was finally back to my home. Tomorrow was the Sports Festival, and I almost forgot about them. Well, winning these games didn't seem that fun. I will just go to mess around some kids and fluff with Kendo.

"Lee… Do you have a minute to talk?"

"Yes."

Julia called me as soon as I got inside the house.

"How did your Karaoke go?"

"Pretty much well." I nodded. Karaoke sales. They are cheaper than hotel rooms, and better to have some a.d.u.l.t stuff.

"You should take a shower. Infections are a real thing." Julia sighed as she looked at me. My cheeks almost felt the burn as she gave me that look. What does she mean… how did she know.

"Wha…" I faked a series of coughing. I only said it's karaoke, not what she is thinking of – even though it was true.

"I'm just teasing you." She giggled all of the sudden, "Just sit."

"Whatever." I sat as she turned the TV off. "So, is there anything you want to talk about?"

"Yes, this," she placed a newspaper. Reading the main headline, it was about the Sports Festivals of UA. "Why you didn't tell me about it."

"Why? Does it matter to talk about it?" I shrugged my shoulder, "they are just entertaining games. Something UA uses to market themselves as the best heroic school."

"What's your motivation to be a hero. As a kid, I could understand that you're Quirkless so you didn't get interested; but now you are in UA." Julia flicked my forehead and said.

"I may lie to others, but not you." I swept my forehead. She nodded firmly as she was waiting for an answer. I took a deep look at her. In my whole life, I've never seen her this serious– except that time when she had found me know about s.e.x when I was 5, without having s.e.x-education, or the talk. That was a mistake.

"I would appreciate that."

"I just found the usual school boring." I said, "Nothing serious about UA."

That was the truth.

"Wow…" Julia lifted her eyebrows. "I had expected that you would say that."

She paused for a second before she said, "I won't give you a break."

"Gimme… that's not fair." I lifted my eyebrow. She seemed to get the right sentence before I say it.

"Whatever," putting a hand on her forehead, she said, "You want to make a lot of money, right... or being popular? You know how much heroes make. Or do you want me to support you for the rest of your life?"

I nodded. It would be a good way to live comfortably… Now I remember, If not for her, I'd live as a poor guy.

Damn, I grew up fast that I didn't feel it.

"And you know that our Family has an agency outside." Julia let a sad sigh. "I'm hearing that I may take it in near future. But that's not my problem. My siblings and cousins are making fun of me as always. I had broken someone's nose. You believe that when I said you have a Quirk, my cousin's said its weak Quirk and small like the Jap…" She censored herself with a cough.

As it seems, my mother's side family has Quirks that are related to physical power manipulation. Some can work on gravity, someone can manipulate Newtons, some can increase speed… and you know the rest. Because of that, they had formed a hero agency outside. Though it seems good to live out, I didn't get along with my Grandma, so I preferred to stay here.

"If you can win the Festivals, your career would have a huge advance. I want to brag about you outside." She said. "It would be a face slap when you show how good the Quirk you got from me, of course."

Yeah, she believes that Aura was a result of physical lows manipulation, just applies random forces in the air.

Sighing, I asked, "Why are you trying to make me feel guilty?" It was obvious that she wanted me to do my best at the Festivals. But why is she brining her life story all of the sudden?

"Because lately, you are lazy about improving your Quirk." She laughed, changed the channel in the T.V, and then said calmly, "Just make me proud."

"That's not true." I blinked twice. I have been training to fly like a crazy person. I even raised the water bill that just for the training.

"Which one."

"The first." I reached my phone as soon as I saw I got a message from Kendo. I started texting back

"Like I'd believe you. All of you were doing is to hang out with Kendo. You even call me some hours late after your school is over. And you went," she mocked, "to sing Karaoke… like I don't know that you don't like to sing."

"Cough." Faking it, I hid my phone.

"Why don't you want to get first place."

It was that Eraser Head taking my time after school. Since I knew that she wants me to put the effort in the Festivals, I have to get something back. Maybe some money or something. "Well, I guess I need stronger motivation."

Although I had already decided to take the first place, so she would shut up, I still wanted to negotiate.

"Let's see, if you get first in all events," she said, "I'll give you my car."

I stopped, "Deal." my lips rose to a smile. That what I needed. With Star Platinum as a driver, I will try to drift here.

"What, no car phobia. Your Quirk can drive, can't it?" She put her hand on her mouth and let a giggle, "Now, don't take a long time texting. You have to wake up early."

"Whatever," I left for my room.

"Oh, Lee, by the way."

"Yes."

"Can you help me clean the dishes?"

"Sure." I went to my room anyway, and let Star Platinum do the work.

"What a great Quirk," looking at the dishes that were being washed, Julia nodded and turned to watch the TV, some Drama I think. "I wish I had something like that."
