Gamer In My Hero Academia - Chapter 17 Title Hidden

*I would normally never do this, but I would recommend reading the special part in the second half of the chapter with the Fate/Zero – Back to Zero ost. Just a suggestion though*.

The rest of the day passed by pretty quickly after that. Midoriya broke his finger and came last at the end of the fitness tests.

Their reactions to finding out that their was no punishment for last place really took a burden off the green haired boy’s shoulders.

“Phew, I’m glad that today’s over. Time to-“.

“Kagami. The principal wants to see you”.

Aizawa left me those words before walking away.

My shoulders hunch over slightly before I notice a pair of familiar girls, one with black hair and the other orange.

Yui Kodai and Itsuka Kendo.

The former has dark, shoulder-length, bob-shaped hair. She also has fair skin and an athletic build, with cerulean eyes. Her figure was shown off by the U.A school uniform and she was constantly pulling it down as it was a little too short.

The latter, Itsuka Kendo had her signature side ponytail. She had large blue eyes and was always smiling.

Kagami raised and eyebrow before fixing his suit slightly and walking up the two of them.

“Excuse me ladies. May I borrow you for a bit?”.

Yui seemed to be more than happy to while Itsuka seemed a little taken back.

“What can we do for you, Mister… What’s your name sorry?”.

I flash the dark haired girl a smile and say, “Kagami. Kagami Ren”.

“Okay, what do you need from us Ren-san?”.

“Please just call me Kagami. And I need to be directed to Principal Nezu’s office”.

They didn’t question me, but gave me the twice over looking at my suit and my hair.

“Are you a student, Kagami-san?”

“No. I do volunteer work. I don’t get payed for what I do”.

“That’s pretty cool! What do you do?”.

“I teach kids how to control their quirks. Some kids get really amazing quirks but have no-one to help them develop it or are abandoned because of their quirk. I help them”.

They stopped walking at looked at me with a renewed perspective. Yui had a small smirk on her face while Itsuka had a look of respect in her eyes.

Waving it off I say, “It’s nothing that special. You guys are the real Heroes here, right?”.

Itsuka starts walking forward again while Yui stares at me just a little and I whisper to her, “If you look at me like that,I just might fall for you”.

She turns red at my remark and speed walks to catch up with Itsuka turning back several times to look at me.

‘God I love this school’.

As we arrive at Nezu’s office I say farewell to them but ask them one question before they leave, “Do you both live in the school dorms as well?”.

They both nod causing me to smile, “Then I hope to see you two beautiful ladies again in the near future”.

Both practically ran away with their hands covering their faces and I open the door to see not just Nezu in his office, but every teacher that knew about my ‘abilities’.

“Ah! Kagami-kun, how was your first day of teaching?”

There was one empty chair in the room and I sat down in it.

“Not too bad”.

“You call cutting a student in nine different places not too bad?”, said Vlad King with a raised eyebrow.

“Don’t worry I wouldn’t of killed him. Surely you can trust me with not killing your students?”.

No-one responded.

“Would you trust All Might not to accidentally slap a student to death?” I retort.

They all looked at the deflated man in the corner in the yellow suit too big for him and simultaneously responded, “Yes”.

I tisk, “Ye of little faith”.

“Anyway. Something had come to our attention and we need to clear it up for us”.

“We’ve had reports saying that your skills can be taught? Can you give us a summary of how these skills happen and why you can do them?”.

I take a deep breath and say, “Long version or short version”.

“Short then long. Just to be thorough”.

“Alright then, but no interruptions until I am done”.

Taking on sip of water from the glass in front of me I notice a whiteboard in the corner of the room and gesture if I can borrow it. The furry principal nods and I pick up the whiteboard marker.

“Short version. Because I trained really, really hard. Long version…

I draw the outline of a human body and write down the word ‘od’ in the center.

“Because I can free access my od inside my body. You will ask, what is od? What can it do? Is it tangible? Why hasn’t anyone discovered it before? And I cam here to say… because none of you believe in the soul.

You see. Od is the internal prana that is generated by the soul which by extension is created by ones Magic Circuits. Magic Circuits are metaphysical manifestation of the soul which are located throughout a Magus’s body. Like so”.

I took off the trench coat and rolled up my sleeve. I feel a trickle of od move into my arms causing a bright series of lines to appear like a circuit board.

“You can use od without Magic Circuits, however it is harder to grasp but better in the long run. Why? Because Magic Circuits are useful if you want to use Magecraft and not the techniques I use. I, despite having Magic Circuits and a third-rate Magus.

Getting back to the techniques themselves, they are fueled by od which, when combined with certain footwork techniques, breathing techniques, which I call [Breathing and Walking] one can utilize strength, endurance, agility and abilities that normal people call, Magic or Superhuman… Now. Questions?”.

Everyone was silent, but Nezu asked, “Did you just prove the existence of the soul?”.

I shook my head, “I didn’t prove it, people thousands of years ago believed they could prove the existence of the soul and used abilities far greater than anything I could use”.

“What about this prana?”

“Prana is overarching term I use to refer to all magical energy. There are two types of magical energy, one is od, which is created inside the body, the other is mana which is the ‘worlds’ mana so to speak. It is the magical energy which is located in the sky, the earth, the ocean, the trees the grass. It is nature’s magical energy”.

Nezu took a sip of his drink. It wasn’t water but milk, “Anyone can learn it?”.

I nod, “As long as you have the drive and ambition… and considering that Gaia and Alaya don’t exist anymore I’d say you could”.

“I’m not even going to ask what Gaia and Alaya is… but what is this Magecraft you spoke of?”.

“Ah! Magecraft is what you think Magic is, however it is a Mystery that can be produced by science”.

“For example…?”

“I could create a small flame in my hands but you could to the same with a lighter. Some more talented Mages could cause a massive explosion, but you could to the same with a strategic missile right?

Magecraft may seen like a miracle, however it’s only because you can’t explain it that you believe it is a miracle. However there are what I would consider “True Magic”, however…”

Midnight spoke up, “However what, Kagami-kun? What is “True Magic?”.

I look at her and sigh, “True Magic exists in Theory, and is the Five Magics that no science could ever hope to reproduce”.

I lift my hand and raise one finger, “The First True Magic, Denial of Nothingness. The ability to create anything out of nothing. Not like Momo Yaoyorozu’s Creation Quirk, but theoretically one could create a moon or an exact copy of Earth with this Magic.

I raise the second finger, “The Second True Magic, Kaleidoscope. The Magic that allows one to travel through different dimensions. The use could draw upon the infinite amount of magical energy from an infinite amount of worlds and use it to do whatever they wanted.

My third finger was raised, “The Third True Magic, Heaven’s Feel. This one is pretty simple actually. It’s what all Mages desire the most. Immortality, the materialization of the soul. This one is pretty complex, however I’ll give an outline of it.

Once the body dies the soul should disperse and should return to Akasha as it no longer has an anchor in the physical world to return to. Heaven’s Feel bypasses this and the soul, transcends it physical body becoming something… more than human. It is the most sort after True Magic and I know a lot of people who have tried to kill each other in pursuit of this Magic.

Everyone in the room straightened their backs.

“Are you saying that there are more… Mages? Out there?”.

I was a little surprised but shook my head, “Not personally. But in the dreams I have, there have been many wars fought by Mages in pursuit of the Heaven’s Feel. There might be people with Magic Circuits, however if they never awaken them in their lifetime, they’ll just remain ‘normal’ so to speak.

I raise my fourth and fifth finger at the same time, “The Fourth True Magic has been lost for hundreds if not thousands of years and no-one has been able to reach or remember what the Magic contained, the fifth however, Magic Blue is Time Travel.

It’s pretty self explanatory. However the cost for travelling back and forward in time for the user is remarkable and speaking from a pure subjective standpoint is useless as the Second True Magic, Kaleidoscope can already do this.

The person who last possessed the Fifth True Magic used to see her future and could bring others back to life with it. She was very beautiful as well…”.

Snapping of my stupor I looked around the room and everyone gave me a suspicious look.

“Is this anymore stupid than Gods and Heroes? That I can transform into demi-gods and summon monsters from legends? Creating something out of nothing, alternate dimensions, immortality, time travel? Are these things that normal people have been trying for decades?”.

They all show embarrassed looks.

“Just because we do it a different way doesn’t mean that is isn’t right! Mages have gotten closer to all of these things than normal people have in a couple hundred years than normal have in 2000 years!”.

“Now, now Kagami-kun no need to get riled up. No one said anything that can’t disprove what your saying”, said Nezu.

I harrumph and sit back down pouting slightly.

“So these Magic’s, Kagami, with what certainty can you say they exist and with what certainty can one reach them? Is it from a knowledge? Or some sort of enlightenment? Do you know?”.

“I can say with 100% certainty they exist. I’ve meet someone who can use Kaleidoscope before. How else do you think I awakened my Magic Circuits?”.

I roll my eyes and say. I wasn’t hiding the existence of Zelretch, only my Gamer abilities and the Class Cards. It would make a lot more sense if I could prove they existed by using the old man to help me.

All Might, in his deflated form said, “And you neglected to mention this why?”.

“You didn’t ask”.

“So this person who opened your Magic Circuits… how did he do it?”.

“Well that’s pretty easy he just-“.

[Fill, Fill, Fill Fill, Fill!]

I stand up and look around my eyes widened as I heard the voice!

“No! It can’t be! I haven’t-“.

“What is it Kagami shounen! Is something the matter!”.

[Repeat five times]

[But destroy each when filled]

[A base of silver and steel]

A red light starts to emanate from my body and everyone in the room shouts.

“What’s happening!”

“Kagami! Tell us!”.

I look around the room and start to shake, “I think….”.

[A foundation of stone and the Archduke of Contracts]

[And my ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg]

[A wall to block the falling wind]

[The gates of all four directions close]

“Speak up Kagami! What is happening to you!”, All Might enters his Hero form and grabs me by the shoulder and shakes my around.

“I’m think I’m being summoned”. I mutter.

[From the Crown, come forth and follow the forked road to the kingdom]

[I hereby propose]

[My will shall create thy body]

[And thy sword shall create my fate]

“What summoning Kagami! Be more specific!”.

I snap out of and start speaking rapidly, “The Holy Grail War! A battle fought between seven Masters and seven Servants to compete for the Holy Grail! An artifact that can grant any wish!”.

“What…!”.

[Abiding by the summons of the Holy Grail!]

[If thou dost accede to this will and reason, answer me!]

[I hereby swear].

“Seven Mages summon Seven Heroes of legend in a fight to the death in order to wish for what they desire most! Money, women, power, even a gateway to the ROOT is possible!”

“What is the ROOT Kagami! Tell us!”.

[That I will be all that is good in the world]

[And that I will destroy all evil in the world!]

“The ROOT is how Mages can become wielders of True Magic! The ROOT has many names and one of the is the Akashic Records! The Library which contains all knowledge in the world!”

“How can we get you back!”.

[Thou, clad with the Great Trinity come forth with this circle of constraint]

[Guardian of the Heavenly Scales!]

“You can’t I must-“.

A bright light filled the room causing everyone to close their eyes to avoid getting blinded. All Might’s grasp on me disappeared and my body vanished. Leaving behind a scorch mark on the floor and several scared teachers.

When I came reopened my eyes, the light and smoke from the summoning hadn’t yet dispersed but and I couldn’t see where I was summoned or who my Master was, however one bit of me smiled and I couldn’t help but say,

“I ask of you, are you my Master?”.
