Chapter 10: Zero Pointer

The future heroes turned into predators in the test field. They were chasing the robots in crazy amounts.

Not only the robots were suitable for kids taste, but they were far, and they hid very well.

One needed to make an extra effort, for a close-range user like me.

I was sitting at the top of the building. Staring down, I had realised that I needed to do something quickly, or these hungry teens would leave nothing to me.

"Ora."

I made Star Platinum go a bit far from my spot and punch the ground softly, enough for me not to sink in when he destroys the roof.

Picking up the rocks with his hands, I looked down a rock in my hand.

"Star Platinum, let's go."

"Ora."

Star Platinum lifted the rock and shot it forward, making it move faster than a bullet. The rock hit a robot who was just about to get destroyed by a girl with a big fist, really that big.

*Bang*

Kill steal was something I was planning to do at this moment. And I knew that it would count to my score since everything we did was being recorded by cameras.

Star Platinum started picking up rocks and throwing them like crazy. With his precision, he was like a sniper.

Me, I held a rock for my own.

Taking a deep breath, I could feel the ripples moving from my lungs to my blood flow, and finally the hand. The rock stick up to my palm, as ripples, like sparks,, covered it and didn't fall when I opened my hand and aimed forward, to the ground.

Although I didn't have someone to teach me how to use this energy, I knew that every martial art had a founder. I can always recreate something I saw from the anime.

Exhaling, I changed the amount and the ripple type, and the rock suddenly flew down and destroyed a robots' arm. Damn, I almost got it.

I looked to the left to see my best butler—a friend for now.

"Ora…Ora…"

Star Platinum was shooting things like crazy. He never missed despite how far the robots were.

The students down seemed to look in my direction before snorting. I was destroying their share, I know.

Okay, now I need to wait for someone to drag another robot for me.

My score, for now, I believe that it surpassed 50. I lost count when I had just let the Stand do the job.

Looking at my feet, I know that the building may not take more hits, and that score must be good for now.

I looked down to see the creepy Neito, who was walking around and touching people.

I opened my jaw as I saw his quirk changing each time he touches a new person.

'That's why he was acting like that around me.'

I just realised what was his ability, and why he was freaked out when we handshake.

I also realised why he tried to shake my hand and asked about my quirk… before that girl punch him in the head.

'Stand isn't a quirk that can be copied.'

I realised something and rubbed my chin.

It may be a good thing if I ever deal with a villain that can stop quirks, copy them, or someone like All for One, who was the most infamous villain in his era with his ability to steal quirks.

Star Platinum is not a quirk. But a realisation of one's spiritual energy. Now I feel good that I had called it Aura, as I can use it to catch people off guard.

There was something else I wanted to know. Did that Momoma Neito found out something about my Stand, or for being quirkless?

I need to keep him shut with some bullshit.

Should I say it's a secondary quirk? I don't need a stalker in my life, so I have just to push him away.

Jumping down, Star Platinum held my shoulder and planted his other fist in the building, letting me slid slowly until I reached the ground.

Looking at how the robots are being chased, I gave a thumb up, these kids are acting like madmen as they were still looking for the robots.

Here he is, Neito, destroying a robot with a quirk he just stole.

Surprising him, I made a high jump and landed on the robot's head as he was about to destroy it.

Meito only saw me sitting on the robot, which was getting destroyed easily without moving my hand.

He stared at me with disbelief.

"What's the matter?" I asked looking at his eyes, "You were staring at me for a long time that I doubted your sexuality."

Meito didn't reply on my mocking remark, and, instead, he asked, "You have a quirk! What's your problem?"

"I'm the one to ask, you are to answer." I landed off the junkyard. "And yes, why don't you think I have a quirk."

"What is it?"

"Why should I tell you." I didn't answer and kept silent. " Do you want to copy it?"

I said, offering my hand as I landed from the remains of the destroyed robot.

I could see him flinching and taking a step back in fear of me. I was just resisting the urge to chuckle when I saw his lips twitching, he was hesitating.

"Is that so?" he asked, as he realised that I knew about his ability. "your quirk is something that I can't see."

I just nodded, and his glare seemed to have hate, jealousy, in it now.

"There is no way for a quirk to exist like that." He said, "Are you modified human… or a robot?"

"What a pain!" I almost fell… but still, good thinking. "Not really, your quirk is just inferior. Had people like you being all that capable, we would have more All Might, Don't annoy me because you are lacking."

Using common sense, I was bullshiting as felt a robot approaching me from behind it. Though, my answer seemed to shake his self-confidence. Everyone saw it flying away when it got 3 meters near me. Then, the next second, it flew back. Three more scores to me.

"What are you doing, your time is limited, go and catch them."

Before Neito says what he wanted to say, the same redheaded girl from earlier, appeared behind and yelled at him.

She then apologized for her freaky friend. I found it cute that she acts like that. Neito quicly ran as the time was running from him.

"Is he always a stalker," I asked, had to be careful around that type of guy.

"No," Itsuka shook her head, "but he can be extremely annoying, trolling. Still, a good kid."

I just nodded. "Your hand?" I noticed that her fist was big, like seriously almost her size.

"Yes, My quirk, Big Fist," she looked around to one robot and punched him that it broke in one hit. "You?"

"Aura. Something about auras, if you know that."

I shrugged my shoulder, a rock floated next to me and hit a far robot. I almost heard someone complains about that.

"like the ones from Western Fantasy."

"Yep,"

"By the way, what's your name." she asked casually." I believe that I only introduced myself."

"Lee Angel," I said while counting how much score I have in my head.

Ok, I lost count for sure.

"You are foreign?"

My family name wasn't so Japanese.

"Half Japanese. You can say." I nodded as I turned my head, trying to look for something.

"Mm… I see."

She just nodded before getting into a run position.

But then she, just like everyone in the streets, stopped.

*BAM*

The loud booming sound could be heard.

The ground beneath our legs was shaking, and the buildings were pushed aside when we heard giant wheels approaching us. As I lifted my head, I saw a giant shadow getting near; it was like 10 meters tall, not the biggest I saw far, and it destroying each building on its way.

Zero Pointer had appeared.

I frowned; it was the robot with zero points and it was pointless to fight him; that what a kid would think.

From another perspective, it maybe is a chance to gain some eyes on you, a momentum. After all, this is a test.

Would you do something about a strong villain, when you wouldn't get something? I guess that what they tried to find out by sending Zero Pointer.

The kids around started to run away. No one seemed to want to risk here.

Suddenly, I noticed a piece of the building was flying toward us, it was big, enough to cover half of my apartment, and heading toward me.

I didn't think that I have to fly, as I can punch it with Star Platinum, that only If I was the only one here. Itsuka next to me seemed to shake for a bit and had a wary expression as she looked at the shadow.

Her fist became big again and she was ready to punch. But such hard and heavy material would cause injuries, without counting the shockwave.

"What a pain!"

I sighed as I walked forward, wrapped my hand around her waist, and said, "Don't get it wrong, I'm not asking for a date."

Sure, I may ask for one in another occasion. She was cute, for sure. But I didn't want her to have the wrong idea.

She seemed to be distracted as she looked my direction, in disbelief with wide-opened eyes. "What are you doing!"

Before she could complete her words, I jumped back with the stand, three meters up, and twenty wide, before letting her, staring at me with her green eyes.

"You're welcome," I said before I take my hand back.

"Hey, I didn't ask for your help." She screamed, her cheeks seemed to be red from frustration and lifted her fist. "I could do it on my own."

"No need for a lady to dirty her hands."

I just wanted to shut her up for any reason.

Pausing for a brief, after making small eye contact, Itsuka just turned her head and said, "fine, if that was your intention."

I then looked back at the robot approaching.

It was the biggest and strongest of them so far.

I can beat it for sure.

Everyone was running away from the green metal giant, but I just walked forward, as I was inspired by a plan.

Robots are made of wires after all, and I don't think they have AI.
