2 Chapter 2
On planet earth. on a island-nation called japan.
in Musutafu city outskirts. more specifically, in the modern day slums.
A little boy, somewhere around 5 years old, even though he is 3, rests in a cheap metal bed with a cheap and thin sheet to "keep him warm" during the cold winter. but unlike the dozen other kids there, whom are shivering to the cold, he barely seems bothered by it.
His is tall for a 3 year old. baby fat is less evident compared to others his age. but that is where everything normal ends
Unlike the other kids he has some weird peculiarities to his physicality. He has extremely dark spiky hair rising upwards, trying to defy gravity. In his underdeveloped hands lie some extremely potent muscles. The type a kid shouldn't have. to accompany these weird characteristics, a tail protrudes from the sheets, as if to not get mistakenly forgotten.
You would expect that because of these he would be hunted as some demon. your wrong, but not entirely.
The reason for this is because, in a world where superpowers called quirks are everywhere. Its normal for these quirks to change the physical appearance and biology of their subjects to something different. There is also the category where the physical change is the manifestation of the quirk itself. this category is called 'mutation' type quirks.
Therefore his appearance is justified and he is considered a mutation type quirk holder. If only they knew that it isnt a quirk, but his race itself which his 'mutations' originate from.
A sunray passes into the building through the window as the sun rises in the east, landing directly on his eyes. Waking him up. raising his hand to the sun, he opens his eyes. Shining a deep dark red color. like ambers on a fading flame.
------------------------------------------------Mc POV--------------------------------------------------
Annoying light, getting into my eyes early morning. Why do I have t wake up? Cant a kid just laze around? There is nothing to do in this damned orphanage. We aren't given any games since we don't get funded enough by the government, not that I want to play with baby games. I don't have any work to do around here, neither CAN I do because of my age, not like i want to clean clothes or something. I'm also not allowed outside of the yard too because of it. So there is no point in waking up
Up till today. Because today is a day that I've been waiting a total of 25 years for (including my past life). The fated day that made me sleep through 3 years to reach.
A notification pops up with a silent yet clearly audible (to me) ring in front of me.
{Training system Installation complete!}
{would you like to enter the interface?}
FINALY! After three long years it finally completed the installation process!
Up till now i could only train by ki sensing. I couldn't spend my time muscle training. Not like there is much in this orphanage to train myself with. my body is too strong for me to do muscle training without equipment. I should be a couple tens of times stronger than a normal person, about 70 times? Which is bad if you consider me being a ancient saiyan. Vegeta had a power level of around 500 at birth. At the same age? I'm leagues behind. Nevermind about the fact that i cant train without someone finding out about my strength. there are definitely kids with enhanced strength, but im confident there is none my age with the same level of strength.
Im stronger than most heroes physically. I mean, most don't really have high strength, but they rely on the strength of the quirk. tell bakugo to blow a building apart, he'd do it casually. tell him to do it with his punches? he will look at you with a annoyed glare like he herd the stupidest shit ever.
But his durance does amaze me. its probably because its his own quirk and it doesn't hurt him much but i still believe the king explosion murder has both high endurance and stamina, even before the USJ incident.
But enough of this. i quickly and ecstatically open the training system to take a look.
Name: Igarashi Michio (A/N i got this from a name gen, it says it means a man with the strength of thee thousand, i thought its fitting enough)
Power level: 367
Race: Ancient saiyan (low-class)
Skills:
{ki wind: Level 0 (3%)}
Passive: {ki sense: Level 1 (43.9%)} {ki control: Level 0 (82.3%)}
Seems correct. I honestly barely can sense my ki. I tried to control it a couple times but its kind of rampant. Which explains my low ki control and sensing. Oh who am I kidding, I lazed around too much waiting until my system started. I am gonna get my shit together, but i first have to find some spot to train.
Now there is something that troubles me. Where is the shop section? and where are the quests? and most importantly, why am I a low-class ancient saiyan?
{replying to host. You haven't unlocked shop yet. And you haven't been given any quests.}
Shit. That bastard of a god made me a low-class. And the even more annoying thing is that he didn't do anything incorrectly since i told him to make me a ancient Saiyan and forgot about the class!
But its fine. I'm in MHA and honestly there isn't a need of being a high class saiyan. But i do want it a lot. the power and training speed changes dramatically according to your class. but its not impossible for a low class to become stronger than a elite. Best example is bardock, he was a low class but he was stronger than many elite, without any plot helping him like goku.
'Hey system. can I raise my class?'
{replying to host. Yes you can. Either buy it from the shop or gain it as a quest reward}
Good. but for now i should find somewhere to train. i cant stand the low mastery on {ki sense} and {ki control}. ,my immediate goal is to raise these two. then find out how to unlock a quest.
A annoying bell sound rings around the room through the door. The caretaker came to wake us up for breakfast.
Seems like i've been thinking a little too long. it should be about 6:30 now. that's her morning schedule
" Wake up everyone! the food is gonna get cold! Don't forget to make your beds!" Her shouts reverberate through the hall, into the room.
There is about 15 kids here. the oldest is 14 years. I'm the youngest at 3 years. the others range from 7-11. I'm not expected to make my bed because I'm too young but if i don't someone else has to do it. I prefer just fix it up than have someone angry at me for having to fix my bed. Children get mad easily.
"Good morning Igara. you seem to be making your bed as well today! Good boy!"
I feel my body getting hugged and raised by some feminine hands
"My you are soo cute! Your body might be hard but you are still the best hug pillow!"
She says as she snuggles her face into my neck
"Jess. please stop, you literally just woke up! You haven't even fixed your bed"
She stops moving me around
"Mooo, Why do you sound like some teen! My little Igara is growing up too fast! Does your quirk also make you more intelligent? It was just a little while ago that i fed you milk, and you are already not accepting my hugs!" She says sulking slightly.
"Can you let me down? I need to go get food, and you need to make your bed!"
"Not until i recharge my Igara energy! I have to go to the store later for work! i wont see you till afternoon, and i cant work without recharging!"
She hugs me tighter.
Jess is the oldest kid here. she is 14, to be 15 this year. she takes care of the small kids like me since she is the oldest. and you cant expect that caretaker to actually do her job. the only thing she does is manage the money and make food for us. So everyone respects Jess and treats her like a older sister.
She is quite beautiful and very good. academically she is ok as well. you would think that she would get instantly adopted. But there is a major issue. She is quirkless. And as it is evident is this world quirkless people are not excepted that well.
This is evident by the fact that there is no child in the orphanage with a good quirk, they have all been taken. Nobody wanted me though, my mutation might not be bad n terms of appearance but they don't know of my strength so they think its just a bad quirk.
I grab her hand slightly and try to pry it of without hurting her.
" Nooo. I'm not gonna let you go today! you escaped yesterday. Just be obedient and stop for sis alright?" She says as she doesn't release her grip. she goes back to snuggling me.
I stop resisting. At this point I could hurt her if I fore her off me.
"~Hehehe~. you might be strong but you love your sis too much to hurt her~"
I mean, she isn't wrong. but its annoying when she says it with that teasing tone.
After a bit she lets me down and i go to the kitchen.
I find that most of the kids are already there. Jess did hold me back a lot.
"Oi! old hag! What are we eating? Vegetable soup again?!" Shouts Hiroto at the caretaker.
Hiroto I the second oldest at 11 years. He is really bright but hot blooded. his quirk is called 'torch light'
It allows him to produce weak light from anywhere in his body. its quite useless, probably why nobody has adopted him. Normally his mouth would've been enough to deter any potential parents but think what would happen if he actually had a good quirk. If Bakugo was a orphan he would be taken in the day someone found out about him. Even if Hiroto isn't as bad a case as bakugo in terms of personality issues he is still undesirable.
" Shut your mouth! Its always so foul!" She shouts back
Everyone chuckles at the demeanor of these two. someone has to keep this place alive.
"bye everyone! I'm going to work! see you later!" Jess says as she leaves through the front door.
"bye!" X 14
This is my signal to train. Now that i have the chance.
I head to the backyard.
Its winter outside and i don't think that the ill clothed kids will go out to play, nor do i believe anyone will care enough to find out where i am. I have only been here a couple times until now. Jess wouldn't allow me to since i could get hurt, or she just wants to play with me inside. And with play i mean her tickling me and snuggling me.
Maternal instincts. They can get annoying.
Makes me wonder how saiyan parents would be.
No. there is no point in wandering, its probably just as bad or worse than the caretaker. They would give you what's enough to live and then tell you to fend for yourself. "Get stronger scrub" style.
But that would actually be ideal now. I would just do what my goal right now is. Get stronger. and I wouldn't have to hide my physical strength since its normal for a Saiyan.
I look around to find a suitable spot. i want somewhere hidden so that nobody interrupts me.
Found it
I look at a big tree at the side of the yard. Its quite big and the leaves are dense. i should be able to get up there easily, and hopefully i should be able to hide myself well enough in there.
i get to the back side of the tree and start climbing up. its really easy when you can just carve your fingers into the tree like its jelly.
I find the biggest branch that heads upwards and climb up, its vertical enough for be to sit on it. but its not thick enough to sit on it perfectly. But i have a tail for a reason.
After my tail tightens on the branch i completely stabilize.
Wait a moment. Why should I use my tail? If I stabilize long enough without the help of my tail i should be able to get some passive skill right? I remove my tail. And try to keep myself stable.
Sure enough, after a couple minutes a notification comes up
{ Congratulations! acquired new skill [Acrobatics]! }
Huh. nice. I will stay here without the help of my tail, so as to raise my level.
But i should get to doing what i came for. Ki sensing.
I close my eyes to concentrate my senses better. This is common practice as removing one of your senses allow you to focus better on the other ones.
I try to sense Ki but i cant really sense it much. I'm limited to a couple particles in the air. but since i know how a gamer system works i continue. if i keep this up for a while my [ki sense] mastery will level up regardless.
After a couple minutes i get a notification
{ congratulations! [ki sense] mastery has risen to level 2}
{ congratulations! Acquired new skill [Concentration]! }
{congratulations! [Acrobatics] mastery has risen to level 2! }
I instantly feel to effects of the heightened ki mastery. Its not a big difference, actually its almost the exact same. but before the particles would flicker in me. Now i can sense them more steadily. and i can sense more and bigger portions.
I would try controlling them but I believe I should get to sensing them to a great degree first. cant learn how to handle a tool if you cant grab it right?
I will stick doing this till night.
After I have trained enough with my ki I will get to physical training.
