To Be A Hero: A Mha Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 12

“I lost ”

“That you did”

Shino ignored her father as she layed sprawled out on the ground. Her father had beaten her fair and square. He didn’t go easy on her and she didn’t stand much of a chance. She only used one quirk. She had to choose carefully and therefore restrained from using her quirk for some time. The best quirk for the situation would have been some sort of darkness quirk or possible one similar to her father’s, but sadly she had not mastered any of the two. She was left with a handful of options. Each of her quirks took some time to be mastered. Each time she would only work on one until perfected. She restrained from using those that were still very shaky.

When her father had blindsided her she had to think fast. An energy beam was aimed at her at point blank range and she had to get out of the way or face the consequences. Without thinking she teleported or “glitched” out of danger.

The quirk is very simple. It basically let’s her teleport or “glitch” away from her original position. The furthest she can go is ten meters. Its a pretty handy quirk. If overused her vision gets glitchy and sometimes she herself glitches. It only happened once and she hoped it never happened again.

So she glitched and that meant that was the only quirk she was allowed to use.

Welp her father managed to corner her when she reached her time limit.

“Can you get up? ”

“Yeah. You didn’t have to hit me that hard or send so many energy beams my way. ”

“You wanted to train and we trained. Thanks to me you now have higher durability and faster reaction time and reflexes”

“This was our first time sparring though”

“OK then I’ll say it properly. Thanks to me you will have higher durability and faster reaction time along with reflexes”

Shino didn’t reply. She just yawned and sat up.

“You should go get some sleep Hiro”

“I know” Shino stretched and walked towards the house. “I’m going to the Yaoyorozu estate ”

Shino stopped at her room to pack some clothes and left. It only took her five minutes of webbing through the city for her to arrive at the door again. She almost climbed through Momo’s window, but that would not have been proper. She didn’t see the problem with it. Momo’s parents knew she was coming over and they knew she tended to climb through windows.

“Welcome back Shino”

“Thanks Mrs. Yaoyorozu. I hope you don’t mind me spending the night”

“Oh of course not. Momo loves having you around and frankly so do I. You’re a delight and so very sweet”

Shino smiled brightly at the compliment. “I try my best”

“Why don’t you go get settled. Dinner will be ready soon”

“Yes ma’am”

Shino practically ran up the stairs and burst into Momo’s room with a big grin on her face. Momo squealed in shock and almost fell of her desk chair .

“I’m back”

“I can see that. Why did you just barge in like that?”

“I do not know. Maybe I wanted to mess with ya” Shino plopped her backpack in a corner and climbed straight into Momo’s bed. “I need a nap. I haven’t slept the entire day and its starting to wear on me”

“How was your training with your father”

“Painful for the most part”

“You lost”

“Yes. He made himself super strong and super fast . Plus he fired energy beams at me from point blank range”

“He didn’t go easy on you”

“Yeah, I guess it’s better that way” Shino yawned and pulled the blankets over her.

“Are you staying in my room tonight? “Momo asked as she climbed in bed next to Shino.

“Why is it that you always cuddle into my like this?” Shino mumbled. Even so she wasn’t moving. It was nothing new and it’s not like she had a problem with it.

“You’re very warm”

“Am I really? ”

“Yes”

“If you say so” another yawn and Shino rolled onto her back. “I want to take a nap, but dinner will be ready soon.”

“I can wake you”

“I know, but I’ll be even more sleepy then and that’s not very fun”

“I never asked you about that bubble that appears when you fall asleep”

“My force field? ”

“Yes. I notice it’s always there when you fall asleep”

“Well it’s part of my quirk. A defense mechanism of sorts. I think it’s cool. With it I don’t have to worry about a thing when I’m asleep. And whoever is close to me gets pulled into it as well”

The two continued their conversation until they were informed that dinner was ready.

Shino achieved a seat next to Momo, it was actually her usual seat. She has spent a lot of nights at the Yaoyorozu estate. She even has her own room. Momo has her own at her house as well. Actually each of her friends has their own room at her house. The boys always made a mess in her room and left her to clean it. With their own rooms they can make a mess and clean it by themselves.

“Dinner was great” Shino sighed in content as she stepped out of her shower fully dressed and ready for bed. “Your mother is an amazing cook. So is my mom, Aunt Inko, Aunt Mitsuki and Aunt Emiko. This confirms my theory that mothers are gifted cooks ”

Momo looked at Shino trying to gauge whether she was serious or not. Sometimes it can be impossible to understand her. She says one thing and then acts like she never said it. Then she’ll say something sounding serious and then laugh it off. And there are times she says something sounding so completely stupid so seriously.

“You’re serious aren’t you? ”

“Yes I am” Shino nodded while she dried her hair. Her hair was as long as ever , freely reaching pass her waist. Should she cut it or not? She had been wondering that for a while not. “Hey Momo, do you think I should cut my hair? ”

“No”

“But it’s so long”

“Exactly. It’s very beautiful this way”

Shino looked at herself in the nearby mirror. Her hair was still the same shade of silver, but currently it contained small highlights of platinum blonde. She didn’t think about it too much. It just looked very interesting.

“I’ll take your word for it” she mumbled as she pulled her hair into a pony tail. “So Momo, do you have a hero costume yet? ”

Shino was hoping the answer would be no so she could help her friend design one. She absolutely refused to let Mono wear the original outfit. The thing needs a zip or a complete redesign. Shino also noted that Momo wore heels with her costume.

Heels.

“No, not yet” Momo seemed thoughtful.

“Great! I’ll help you come up with one” Shino pulled a notebook and pencil out of nowhere. “We start now”

“Now? Why so enthusiastic ”

“The sooner the better” Shino planted herself on the floor and motioned for Momo to sit with her.

“What do you have in mind? ”

“Something that would allow you to utilize your quirk without being too risque ” Shino had already begun to draw up a costume idea. “You need a lot of skin exposed without breaking the rules the academy has set. Plus you mostly make objects from your front, mainly your chest. My suggestion is a sports bra with a front and back zip, just in case. Like this you’re stomach and lower back are exposed and if you need more skin, you got your zip. As for pants I think a pair of shorts will do you some good. And for footwear we’ll get you some very stylish boots. You’ll also need a utility belt for some high calorie foods and a special pouch to hold your book” Shino made a quick sketch and paused. She wondered about the book. Stopping to browse through a book could be a hassle. She hummed in thought. Maybe she could make Momo a special tablet. It would contain all the information she would need about anything she would need to create. She’d make it super handy by giving it categories and such.

The Yaoyotab.

She’ll have to start that project the second she got home. Having a quirk that allows you to understand the workings of technology sure comes in handy.

“What do ya think? ”

Momo looked over the drawing and thought about everything Shino had said. She had made a very good point and the costume was very practical and sporty. She even colored the sketch adding detailed lines and everything.

“I like it”

“Awesome. It’s your costume so feel free to make adjustments”

“Do you already have your costume in mind? ”

“Nope, wanna help me come up with one? ”

“I would love to”
