39 39-The Game (4)

"hmm" - Nezu fell into deep thought

"Good, it seems you and I agree" - Madam President

"Agree? no, no, I was just wandering, if you were behind the kidnapping of his mother, and this is your way of winning him over" - Nezu

"I know you thought low of me, but I wouldn't get that low" - Madam President

"Haha, I know better than to believe that" - Nezu

"Watch your mouth Nezu" - Madam President said in a low threatening tone

"It's physically impossible to watch my mouth, besides my mouth is small and adorable" - Nezu with small chuckle

"I-I don't think that's what she means Mr. principal" - the vice president said

"As if I need you to explain anything to me, I know exactly what she means. Madam President I will be sending Power loader, along with whatever team you send" - Nezu as he hoped off the chair and started walking away.

"What about the boy?" - Madam President

"I'll take care of the boy" - Nezu as he exited the office

--------------------

*Mera Yokumiru POV*

I just watched the UA principal leave the office, one of the smartest if not the smartest brain on the planet. No wander this meeting was a complete lose on our part. He took most the information we had about the situation, gets to keep that kid in his school, and even send one of his teachers on our expedition team.

But then why? why is Madam President smiling like that?

"If you're looking at me this way then you must not have understood what just happened here, Yokumiru" - Madam President

"I'm sorry Madam President, but I thought we lost this debate" - Yokumiru

"Lost? It was never a battle to begin with" - Madam President

"What do you mean ma'am?" - Yokumiru

"The whole thing about taking the boy was obviously not true. UA are the best when it comes to nurturing young heroes. But as the Hero safety commission I have to report any big changes to the UN, and since that kid's case and Gang Orca's death are related, almost all the parties involved are aware of the kids potential" - Madam President

"Then why are we letting him stay in UA?" - Yokumiru

"There are plenty of people out there who can force me to hand him over. Something as simple as student exchange program, or something. But the amount of people out there who can force Nezu are slim to none, the kid is safer under Nezu's protection. And all the information I gave him is for him to protect the boy better. The only reason I speak to Nezu like that, is because of prior agreements" - Madam President

"But I thought we wanted the boy to become one of our enforcers?" - Yokumiru

"Too late. The kid is already old enough to have a solid image of the world around him. He already has a moral compass of his own, even if we take him now we won't be able to make him follow our orders without question, and the data show that he is smarter than most kids his age, so manipulating him won't work" - Madam President

"Then why is principal Nezu sending one of his teachers with us?" - Yokumiru

"Power loader is one of the best equipment makers in the world. Nezu is sending him with us to help. Some of the best military grade submarines are owned by UA and power loader" - Madam President

--------------------

*Nezu POV*

Walking out of the the hero commission building, 'I feel more relived than walking in. Having a talented child in my school is nothing new, But I never expected someone to have a high ranking like that. Anyway I'll send this to Aizawa, I'll have him push the boy harder...no I'll have him push the whole class harder. He always valued the talented, that works out.'

Taking out his phone Nezu makes a phone call.

"Hello Mr. Principal" - Power Loader

"Hey there Power Loader. I need you to get ready for a team up mission with the hero association" - Nezu

"Sure thing Mr. Principal. Where are we heading to?" - Power Loader

"Under the sea. I'll send a file with all the specifics." - Nezu

"Yes, sir" - Power Loader

"Oh! Power Loader. Don't hold back" - Nezu

Power Loader and Nezu ended their conversation, Nezu sent the file to Power Loader right away

--------------------

*Back to Aska POV*

It's been an hour since his call with Nezu. Aska was worried sick about this whole thing. His father was sitting on the couch staring at his phone. It seems dad is catching on that something went wrong.

Aska laid in bed unable to keep his mind off things. The biggest issue is that he can't do anything at all. 'I have this power granted by god, but I can't do jack shit with it. I need to train my power more, I need to figure out how to draw out more of my power, I can't turn my body into lightning yet, I need to work on that'

That night Aska spent the whole night mulling over his poor use of his powers. He needs to be more precise and aggressive.

*Next Day*

Aska walks into class, but this time he feels more determined, After classes he will stay at UA and try to get permission to use one of their training facilities.

Mr. Aizawa walks in, "Listen up class! The administration had gone over the video feed from the USJ incident, and over the last two days we decided to switch into higher gears. Put on your gym uniforms, were going to do quirk training all day."

"Why are we doing that all of the sudden?" - Takashi

"Sports festival is just around the corner, so I need you to improve before then" - Mr. Aizawa

"Wait! We're holding the sports festival even with the villain attack?" - Iida

"Yes, as heroes, we are not meant to show weakness. I know that what you experienced was scary, but get used to it. This is your jobs moving forward. You have to face those villains, so innocent civilians don't have to. Now enough talking, get to training ground beta!" - Aizawa

Everyone seemed motivated by his little speech. Works for me, I wanted to train anyway.

30 minutes later and everyone was training in ground beta. There are some robots around that some students used for training.

Standing on top of a building, Aska had his eyes shut, with beads of sweat rolling down his face. He expands his observation haki as far as he can. With purple sparks around his hands, he started to manipulate metal pipes at the edge of his observation range. This required some mental strength. It took a lot of concentration to 'see' that far and manipulate his magnetic abilities at the same time. That allowed him to improve his magnetic abilities and his observation abilities.

After a few hours of training observation haki and magnetism, Aska decided to switch to Armament haki and lightning ability.

He started by covering his entire arm with skintight lightning glove, and coating his arm with armament haki. While doing so, he kept his observation haki active watching what everyone else is doing. It wasn't out of interest of what his classmates are doing. On the contrary, he just wanted to train his focus.

Hours passed and Aska, and the rest of class 1A were training diligently. Some teachers stopped by every once in a while to give some tips. It looks like present mic took a liking to Takashi; the speaker boy. Everyone of the students were doing their best to follow the teachers' instructions. And just like that, the whole day was spent in training ground Beta. With the sole purpose of improving their quirk use.

Aska was sitting on the floor next to the entrance of ground beta. He was resting for a few moments before continuing with his training. He kept the burner phone on him and kept checking it every now and then just in case.

'I'm doing alright. I can feel my observation haki expanding more and more, and I can lift heavier weights with my magnetism now. Lightning cloak hasn't improved much, but armament haki is getting better'

Just as Aska was about to get up and head back to training Mr. Aizawa had signaled everyone to gather around.

"Listen up! Today was productive for all of you, the school day is over so go home, and tomorrow we will do more training, it seems we will get some more help by then" - Mr. Aizawa

'Today felt random, I guess the school wants us to be stronger, not just for the sports festival, but also to be ready for the villains. Good thing they realized early that the USJ wasn't the last of it'

"Mr. Aizawa, can I stay and use this training ground after school hours?" - Aska

"Sure, but keep in mind Recovery girl leaves an hour after school, and the cafeteria is closed, so be mindful of your condition. Also don't push yourself too hard, you need to rest" - Mr. Aizawa

"That sounds great Aska, maybe we should all stay and train some more" - Momo

"Iida, what do you think. I'll stay and train some more, how about you" - Uraraka

"Humm, that sounds like a great idea. I'll train here some more" - Iida

"That sounds great!" - Deku

Some other students also decided to stay after school and wait. Just when everyone was agreeing, Aska felt his phone vibrate inside his pocket. It was the burner phone.

"hello there young man" - The author.

Aska jumped up to the roof of one of the buildings around, he made sure he was far enough from everyone to hear. There were two people who looked at Aska and understood what was happening. Momo looked very sad and concerned, while Aizawa didn't show it on his face.

"..." - Aska kept quite

"Are you sad that I didn't call you Yesterday?" - The author

"Cut the crap! What do you want?" - Aska tried to sound as confident as possible, but internally he was very nervous

"Well, since you don't want to talk to me then fine. You broke our agreement and for a moment I thought of sending you your dead mother's body. But then I felt that I would be cheating you, since I technically have two hostages not just one. So I wanted to give you another chance, I'll kill the baby in her womb first. If you break our agreement again, it'll be your mother next"
