3 A fake genius

" I am home! "

Exclaimed Neito's dad, he had just returned after a long day of work, carelessly going inside he closed the door behind him.

" Welcome back! "

Neito's mom's replied with enthusiasm, but Neito's father didn't think much of it as he put his shoes on the rack.

But the moment he turned around he was startled, because it wasn't his wife who was standing there, it was Neito.

" Neito, what are you doing here? Where is your mom? "

Neito smiled widely and spoke happily, fully imitating his mother's voice and manners, a uniquely supernatural display.

" She is at the neighbours! "

Twitching his eyes, Neito's father looked at him for a second before laughing loudly.

" You little prankster, using my own mockingbird against me! When did you even touch me Neito? "

Asked his father as he rubbed Neito's hair and walked into the house.

Neito followed along as he showed his left thumb finger, it also had few stary hairs coiled around it.

" I used the hair from your comb dad, I have mother's Quirk here too, but I have to switch between them, I can't have two copied at a time. "

His dad carelessly looked at Neito's hands and nodded slightly.

" Oh, it can work on hair too? That's pretty good, it'll fix one huge disadvantage of your quirk, now go and play Neito, I have to finish washing up. "

Neito nodded and went back into his room, he only wanted to check one thing this time around, how good was his control over copied quirks?

Using his father's quirk against him seemed like a good idea, and it worked, he had a pretty good control, even the original owner of the mockingbird didn't catch on.

" This is a common problem with my kind of quirk, even AFO dosen't get the user's experience with the quirk he steals, I have to figure it out on my own as well. Maybe that's why I feel my mind became sharper recently. "

Neito muttered, the orginal Neito was also a pretty smart man, but it was overshadowed by his intense jealousy.

And Neito after unlocking his Quirk was beginning to understand why original Neito acted like that.

" It's my quirk's doing, these feelings of jealousy drive me to copy other's quirks for myself, sheesh, at least it lessens if I have already copied something. "

Neito shook his head while playing with his nails, making them sharper using his mother's body shaper quirk.

He was going to main his mother's Quirk, it had a lot of potential, shaping his body anyway he wants is bonkers.

" Can I create something like All Might's muscle form? I might even get it to act like muscular's quirk or Asui's tongue extension and jumping muscles, so many ways to use this ability. "

Neito was wondering how far he could push his mother's quirk, after copying a quirk it becomes his to use.

Devlopment of his main ability was always on his agenda, but there was one more thing he wanted to check.

' Due to my need to copy and use quirks immediately, my jealousy isn't the only thing amplified, my mind is too, I should check how good my learning ability is right now. '

Thought Neito, jumping down his bed he walked upto his computer table.

Climbing up the chair he turned it on and sat patiently as it boot to homescreen.

" I wonder what I should learn, while original Neito was also pretty smart his jealousy held him back, now that I have my inherent jealousy in check, I might be able to dig out my potential better. "

Clicking on the browser, Neito started to search for some brain teasers, IQ tests and AI controlled chess games.

" Here, let's see how I perform, this should give me an idea of how good I am right now, this particular IQ test was made by principle Nezu after all."

Setting everything up with legitimate websites, Neito started his test.

And he understood as time went by, he was breezing through the tests, while it wasn't something he could do on first try, his ability to learn and after encountering a situation once was staggering.

" Quirk's really do effect the mind, my copy has indeed changed me, my ability to learn things has gone way up, I might not be any smarter per say, but the same problem will rarely trouble me more than once. "

Neito concluded while scoring higher and higher on the IQ test the more times he gave it.

No, the questions weren't the same, he was simply learning and adapting to new things quicker, just like his quirk demands him to adapt to new quirks quicker.

" That should be enough as a test. I should also make a training chart. "

Opening a notepad in his computer, Neito wrote down his new training regimen.

" Quirk training - automatic via hair copying method, Body training - Train the quirk Body Shaper, Mind training - Learn more scientific knowledge and watch martial arts tutorials. "

" This should do it, it's enough effort for my four year old self, but really, attending daily calsses again might mess with my schedule now. "

Neito thought as he wondered if he should do something to skip school, he wasn't learning anything there anyways.

" Maybe I should use my increased leaning ability to skip grades..Why not, that sounds alright. "

Nodding to himself, Neito decided to try and skip grades, because he was young he didn't have any plans to do anything extraordinary until now.

But now that his quirk has awakened, skipping grades and making a name for himself doesn't sound too bad.

" Okay, that's an idea, and my quirk isn't a mind enhancing one either, nobody can accuse me of cheating. "

Smirking, Neito began searching the web again, be wanted to see how this world's collage education was like.

If it was anything like his previous world, it shouldn't be too much trouble for him to act like a genius here, he was after all only four years old.
