As I sat alone in the school, engrossed in the novel gifted by my girlfriend, Momo Yaoyorozu, the vibrant energy of the surrounding students filled the air. My gaze wandered, catching sight of Damien Priest, the charismatic and sociable individual who seemed to effortlessly navigate social interactions, earning him the reputation of a lady's man.
Running my hand through my silver hair, I couldn't help but observe Damien as he engaged with fellow students. His confident demeanor and easy charm drew people in, creating an aura of magnetism that seemed to surround him. Despite the apparent ease with which he interacted, my focus remained on the pages of the novel in my hands.
The book, a thoughtful gesture from Momo, transported me to a different world, its words weaving a tapestry of imagination and emotion. The characters and their journeys became a respite from the bustling activities within the school. Occasionally, my eyes would lift from the pages, catching snippets of conversations and glimpses of the vibrant tapestry of school life unfolding around me.
As Damien continued his interactions, a part of me wondered about the dynamics at play. The intricate social dance, the unspoken connections, and the myriad relationships that formed the fabric of daily school life. The contrast between the animated interactions and my quiet reading session highlighted the diverse paths students traversed within the same academic setting.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, my silver hair caught the occasional glint of sunlight streaming through the windows, a subtle reminder of my presence within this dynamic space. I remained content, finding solace in the literary escape provided by the novel, a gift that connected me to the thoughtful gesture of my girlfriend.
Occasionally, my thoughts drifted to Momo, imagining her navigating her own experiences in the bustling halls of the school. Despite the external interactions, the essence of my focus remained within the pages of the novel, where the characters embarked on their own adventures, mirroring the unfolding stories in the school around me.
The bell signaling the end of the school day echoed through the corridors, breaking the quiet reverie. As I closed the book, the fictional world melded with the reality of the school setting. The novel, a brief respite, tucked under my arm, became a companion on the journey out of the classroom, weaving its influence into the ongoing narrative of school life.
Damien Priest's approach disrupted my quiet reading session, and he greeted me with a friendly,
Damien:Hey there, Jason. Have you heard what happened to the Smith family?
His casual tone betrayed no inkling of the complex history I shared with that name. Grinning, he continued,
just last month, they invited me, and, well, let's just say I had an interesting battle with them.
I raised an eyebrow, feigning disinterest.
Me:Why should I know? I'm no longer part of the clan
I snorted, dismissing any connection to the Smith family, my old family who had once persecuted me due to my QSSM deficiency before disowning me. The memories of their disdain lingered, but I chose to keep that history buried.
Damien:But they've been silent lately
Damien continued, oblivious to the personal history.
Damien:The twins, Damien and Nora, haven't been to school. Any idea what's going on?
A wry smile played on my lips. The twins, my older siblings, had made my life a torment with their constant mockery and disdain.
Me:I honestly don't know, and I don't care,
I responded, my tone carrying an air of detachment. The truth was, the silence surrounding the Smith family's absence piqued a curiosity I wasn't willing to admit.
Damien, undeterred, leaned in, his curiosity evident.
Damien:Come on, Jason, you must have some insight. We've all heard stories about your family's dynamics.
I sighed, not willing to delve into the complexities of my past.
Me: look, Damien, my focus is on the present. Whatever happened with the Smith family is none of my concern. I'm here to read my book and navigate my own path.
Damien, sensing my reluctance, shifted the conversation to more general topics, discussing school activities and upcoming events. Despite the surface-level banter, my mind wandered to the cryptic silence surrounding the Smith family. The echoes of the past resurfaced, but I maintained a stoic exterior, determined not to let the shadows cast by my old family infiltrate my present.
As Damien continued to share anecdotes and inquire about various happenings, I found myself lost in contemplation. The enigmatic absence of the twins and the hushed rumors circulating through the school corridors stirred a latent curiosity. Yet, I clung to the resolve not to let the specters of the past disrupt the equilibrium I had carved for myself.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the conversation. Damien bid me farewell, oblivious to the intricacies veiled beneath our exchange. As the school day progressed, the mystery surrounding the Smith family lingered, a subtle undercurrent beneath the surface of routine. The pages of my book beckoned, providing a sanctuary from the questions that lingered in the air. And so, with the novel in hand, I retreated into the realms of fiction, leaving the echoes of the past to fade in the background of the present.
Surprise flickered in my eyes as Momo approached me, a warm greeting escaping her lips.
Momo:Hey, Jason. I see you're reading the book I gave you
she remarked, a hint of delight in her voice.
A grin formed on my face as I nodded.
Me:Of course, my girlfriend gave it to me. Naturally, I'll read it
I responded, wrapping my arm around her waist in a display of affection.
Momo blushed at the gesture, a soft smile playing on her lips.
Momo:People are staring
she whispered, her eyes darting around to the curious glances directed our way.
I kissed her cheek, I already had the urge to tease her more
"So?" I replied nonchalantly, waving my hand dismissively. The subtle acknowledgment of the onlookers didn't bother me, and I continued to hold Momo close.
She chuckled, appreciating the carefree attitude.
Momo:you're always like this, Jason. Unfazed by what others think.
Me:Why should I be bothered?
I mused, looking into her eyes.
Me:We're just two people enjoying each other's company. Let them stare.
Momo's blush deepened, but she didn't resist the embrace.
Momo:You have a point
she admitted, leaning into my side.
As we strolled through the school grounds, the whispers of curiosity followed us. Momo, while initially self-conscious, seemed to embrace the moment, a testament to our shared connection.
The dialogue between us continued, shifting to the contents of the book and the characters that captivated my attention. Momo, always passionate about literature, eagerly engaged in the discussion, sharing insights and theories about the narrative.
The school day progressed, and our interactions evolved from casual banter to deeper conversations. Momo's presence remained a constant source of warmth, a welcome contrast to the external gaze that occasionally lingered.
The bell signaling the end of the day interrupted our dialogue, but the connection between us remained unwavering. As we navigated the bustling corridors, I couldn't help but appreciate the genuine moments shared with Momo, unaffected by the opinions of those around us.
Momo, still by my side, led me to a lively group of her friends.
Momo:Jason, I'd like you to meet Kyoka Jirou and Tenya Iida
She said, a warm smile on her face as she made the introductions.
Kyoka, with her distinctive earphone jacks and an air of confidence, greeted me with a friendly nod.
Kyoka:Hey there, Jason. Nice to finally meet you
she said, her upbeat demeanor resonating.
I returned the greeting with a casual smile, appreciating the welcoming atmosphere.
Me:Likewise, Kyoka. Momo's told me a lot about you.
Tenya Iida, standing tall with a sense of formality, extended a hand.
Tenya:Pleasure to meet you, Jason. I've heard about your accomplishments
he said with a hint of respect in his voice.
Shaking his hand, I responded,
Me:The pleasure is mine, Tenya. I've heard about your dedication to order and discipline.
Momo, sensing the camaraderie, chimed in,
Momo:We were just discussing the book I gave Jason. You should join in.
Kyoka grinned, adjusting her earphone jacks.
Kyoka:Ah, a fellow book enthusiast. What's your take on it so far?
I launched into a discussion about the novel, sharing my thoughts on the characters and plot twists. The exchange flowed seamlessly, and I could sense the genuine interest from Kyoka and Tenya.
Tenya, with his analytical mind, asked insightful questions about the themes and literary techniques. Kyoka, on the other hand, brought a unique perspective, drawing parallels between the characters and real-life experiences.
As the dialogue unfolded, I felt a sense of camaraderie forming, the shared passion for literature bridging the gap between us. Momo, observing the interaction, seemed pleased with the connection taking shape.
Kyoka, in her upbeat manner, suggested,
Kyoka:We should all hang out sometime. Maybe grab some food or catch a movie.
Tenya, always the planner, nodded in agreement.
Tenya:indeed, socializing outside of school can foster stronger bonds.
Momo looked at me, a silent invitation to join their circle.
Momo:What do you think, Jason?
A genuine smile crossed my face as I agreed,
.w:Sure, I'm up for it. It would be great to spend some time together outside of the school setting.
The conversation continued, seamlessly transitioning to shared interests, hobbies, and the prospect of future outings. The bell signaling the end of the day interrupted our dialogue, but the camaraderie forged during that encounter lingered.
As we dispersed, the invitation to join Momo's friends for future activities resonated. The potential for new connections and shared experiences added an exciting layer to the school dynamics.
Walking away from the group, I couldn't help but appreciate the genuine connections forming, transcending individual backgrounds and quirks. The echoes of the dialogue remained, a testament to the bonds being woven within the tapestry of school life.
Between kyoka, Lida and momo
As the corridors embraced us in their routine familiarity, Kyoka's thoughtful expression spoke volumes about the unexpected encounter with a different side of me. Tenya, walking alongside, couldn't help but voice his observations.
Tenya:Kyoka, that was quite an interesting interaction
Tenya noted, adjusting his glasses with a thoughtful demeanor.
Tenya:Rumors surrounding Jason have always portrayed him as rather bloodthirsty and cold, especially in past incidents with fellow students.
Kyoka nodded, a contemplative expression on her face.
Kyoka:It's true. I mean, we've all seen his encounters with Issei, his brother, and Cardin.
Momo, who had been a part of the book club discussion, shared her insights.
Momo:But there's more to Jason than meets the eye. He's been actively working on changing that image, trying to manage his anger and find healthier ways to express himself.
Tenya, known for his dedication to order, couldn't help but find the contrast intriguing.
Tenya:It's surprising to see that side of him. I've always associated Jason with a more intense demeanor.
Kyoka added
Kyoka: yeah, he seems really nice. I guess people can change, or maybe there's more to his story than we know.
Momo nodded in agreement.
Momo:Exactly. Sometimes, we only see one side of a person. Jason is making an effort to show that he can be more than the rumors suggest
Their conversation continued as they navigated the bustling corridors, the unexpected revelation sparking a sense of curiosity about the complexities that defined me beyond the school's rumors and whispered anecdotes.
As I sat in class, my best friend Izuku approached me with a curious expression.
Izuku:Hey, Jason, guess what I overheard
He began, his excitement evident.
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
Me:What's the scoop, Izuku?
He leaned in, his voice hushed.
Izuku:There are going to be three new students joining us.
Me:Three? That's interesting. Which department
I inquired, curious about the dynamics of the incoming students.
Izuku:That's the weird part
Izuku continued, scratching his head.
Izuku:both of them signed up for the Hero and Magic departments. And get this, one of them even enrolled in Sacred Gear-related classes.
My interest piqued at the mention of the diverse departments.
Me:Hero and Magic, along with Sacred Gear classes? That's quite a combination. Any idea why they're spreading across different departments?
Izuku nodded,
Izuku:That's what caught my attention too. It's like they're aiming for a well-rounded education, covering both the heroics and magical aspects of our curriculum.
Me:Smart move
I commented, contemplating the potential strengths that such a diverse set of skills could offer.
Me:Any details on who they are?
Izuku grinned, ready to spill the details.
Izuku:Well, there's a third one who signed up exclusively for the Hero course. It seems like a trio with varied interests. I heard the one signing up for only the Hero course is a girl.
As we discussed the potential dynamics of the incoming students, the classroom buzzed with speculation. The prospect of new faces and unique skill sets injected a sense of excitement into the air.
Me:So, what do you think about this trio? Any theories?
I asked, curious about Izuku's analytical take on the matter.
Mr. Aizawa, leaning against the desk, scanned the room with his usual deadpan expression.
Mr aizawa:We have two new students joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourselves?
Raven Astaroth, poised and composed, stood up with a confident demeanor.
Raven:k'm Raven Astaroth. I come from America, and my experiences there have fueled my interest in heroics and magic. I look forward to learning and growing alongside all of you.
Asia Argento, exuding warmth, followed suit.
Asia:I'm Asia Argento. Like Raven, I'm from Italian but I lived in America . The academy's reputation for offering a comprehensive education in various departments caught our attention, and we're excited to be here.
Mr. Aizawa, still maintaining his no-nonsense demeanor, nodded.
Mr aizawa:Take your seats. If anyone has questions, save them for later.
As Raven and Asia settled into their seats, the curious whispers among the students hinted at the intrigue surrounding the newcomers. The subtle acknowledgment of their American origins sparked a sense of curiosity about their backgrounds.
The classroom held its collective breath as Miyetta Hojutsuke rushed in, an awkward slip accompanying her entrance. Her attempts to regain composure mirrored the evident unease that clung to her, amplified by the intense pressure that seemed to envelop the room.
Mr. Aizawa, with his usual stoic demeanor, took control of the situation. "Introduce yourself," he instructed, his voice cutting through the uneasy silence.
Miyetta, standing in the spotlight, hesitated for a moment.
Miyetta:I'm Miyetta Hojutsuke
she began, her voice carrying a subtle tremor.
Miyetta: and I have QSSM deficiency.
The weight of her words hung in the air, and a collective hush descended upon the class. It was apparent that Miyetta's condition had already become a source of disdain among her peers, evident in the judgmental glances and stifled whispers.
My patience wore thin as I witnessed the subtle hostility directed toward Miyetta. The icy tone in my voice cut through the tension, commanding attention.
Me:Be quiet, all of you.
The room fell silent under the weight of my words, the stern expression on my face conveying a clear message. I directed my gaze at those who dared to cast judgment, silently challenging them to reconsider their prejudiced stance.
Miyetta, still standing at the front, seemed to draw strength from the unexpected support. Encouraged by the sudden shift in the atmosphere, she continued her introduction.
Miyetta:I may have QSSM deficiency, but that won't define me. I'm here to learn, just like everyone else.
Mr. Aizawa, observing the dynamics unfold, maintained a watchful eye.
Mr aizawa:Enough disruptions. Focus on the class
he stated, redirecting the attention to the academic proceedings.
As the lesson resumed, I kept a vigilant eye on the classmates, ensuring that the unwarranted hostility remained in check. The intensity of the moment lingered, creating an undercurrent of tension within the classroom.
In the subsequent breaks, I took the opportunity to approach Miyetta, offering a supportive nod and a reassuring smile.
Me:Don't let them get to you. You have just as much right to be here as anyone else.
She smiled
Miyetta: thank you Master
She whispered in a barely audible tone
Ok then I plan to introduce more characters from MHA and RWBY
And which MHA arcs would you like Jason to be active in
