5 Five

Yo, outsidr here, so when you read the numbers regarding Tristan's strength and his desires for the future I ask that you remember this is an Alternative Universe of Twilight and my reason for having him do as he does is with reason.

That's all, Enjoy~

-------

After leaving the cafeteria I went on about my school day. The fourth and fifth periods were boring as heck but my sixth period, not so much. The reason for this is simple, I had Alice in my sixth class.

At the moment I could be seen sitting inside of my history class in the far corner of the room with a beautiful pixie. The two of us were eye-catching to say the least, we both held our own unique beauty which was easily able to catch the eyes of others.

"What do you do for fun?" Alice said from the seat beside me as she held her head up with her hand on the desk.

"I enjoy reading and playing music." I replied with a smile.

"Music? What instruments do you play?" Alice asked me with interest.

"Violin, Trumpet, Cello, and the Piano." I replied liking her clear interest in my hobbies.

"Favorite one?" Alice asked.

"Piano." I replied feeling that the piano was the best instrument.

"Hehe, that's my favorite too." Alice giggled cutely after hearing my words.

I smiled at Alice's cute display of happiness before speaking.

"What are your hobbies?" I asked already knowing that due to living so long her hobbies switched frequently and right now her favorite hobby was fashion.

"Fashion, I love clothes." Alice said with a sweet smile.

"Is that so? Perhaps you could make an outfit for me for my next photo shoot." I said with a smile knowing she would like that although it might've been weird to ask someone you didn't very well to do that.

"Really? Would you let me?" Alice asked with big eyes as she leaned toward me.

"Yeah, but I'm on a break at the moment so I don't know when." I replied not bothered by how close she was.

"Why're you on break?" Alice asked not moving away from me instead, she pulled her chair closer.

"I wanted more free time to do the things I wanted, plus I've entered some piano concerts so I also wanted more time to practice." I replied to the pixie whose smile never left her face, I could tell she was genuinely enjoying her time with me and that made me feel great.

"Mhm, you did have a lot of magazines so I understand why you would want some free time." Alice replied before continuing.

"And you're doing a contest? Where at? I didn't hear of any in town." Alice said curiously.

"It's in Port Angeles." I replied.

"Ooooh, no wonder I didn't hear of it." Alice said with an understanding tone.

"Yeah." I replied before falling silent.

Alice and I had been talking the entire period about random things and unfortunately, I knew the end of class was coming soon, I would have to separate with her again.

"Can I have your number? I don't have many friends and I like talking to you..." Alice said slightly embarrassed which I found beautiful.

"Yeah, sure." I replied holding in my smile before taking my phone out and handing it to her, there wasn't a password so I didn't need to unlock it.

Alice took my phone from me and entered her contact info enthusiastically with a big smile on her face.

RING! RING! RING!

The sound of the school bell once again ruined our pink atmosphere but unlike before I wouldn't be completely out of contact with her this time, I could text her if I wanted.

"Here." Alice said holding my phone out to me.

"Thanks." I replied as I took my phone from her.

"Well, I better get going." Alice said with a weird expression, she wasn't as unhappy as she was about it at lunch because now we could text each other, but she clearly wasn't happy about it either.

"Yeah, see you later." I replied putting all of my stuff away.

"See ya'." Alice replied as she walked away.

"I enjoy talking to you too..." I whispered knowing she heard it.

Although I didn't get an actual response from her I heard her giggle adorably before she began skipping down the hallway with a beautiful smile on her face.

Satisfied with my actions I began to make my way to my last class of the day, math.

"Sup bitch." I said as I sat down next to Bella.

"I found a guy I like." Bella whispered into my ear not caring about my words at all.

"Was it that guy who I walked past in the cafeteria?" I asked causing her to nod her head before continuing.

"His name is Edward Cullen, he's one of the adopted children of Mr.Cullen, a doctor at the hospital." Bella said with a smile.

"Is that so?" I replied.

"Yup." Bella said happily.

"Would you look at that, the silent princess of Phoenix High has found a love interest!" I said with my hands on my face as if I had uncovered the most disturbing secret.

"Oh please, you think I didn't see you and that Alice girl?" Bella said with a condescending smile as if she had called me out on my bullshit, she may have.

"What about her?" I said feigning ignorance.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Tristan Swan, you were acting all lovey-dovey with her and your smile told me everything I needed to know." Bella said with a triumphant smile before continuing.

"You like her, a lot." Bella said keeping her smile.

"Damn right, have you looked at her?" I replied with a smile of my own, bella could never embarrass me, I don't lose!

"...You're not supposed to admit it... at least have some shame." Bella said as she lost her triumphant smile.

"Shame? Can you eat it?" I questioned with a smile.

"Ugh... Whatever." Bella said as she rolled her eyes.

For the remainder of the class Bella and I joked around until it was time for the end of class and with its arrival came the end of our first school day.

"Finally." I said to Bella as we walked out of class, school sucked.

"Oh stop complaining, I'm sure you're excited for tomorrow, you'll be able to see Alice." Bella said with a smile completely unaware that the Cullens at the end of the hallway were listening to our conversation.

'Damn, If I answer no I'll hurt Alice's feelings, and if I say yes then I'm letting Bella win.' I said inwardly weighing the pros and cons.

'Heh, an eye for an eye.' I said to myself as a wicked smile appeared on my face.

"Yeah, I am, but it's no different for you shithead. All that about how dreamy and handsome Edward was, oh I bet you're ecstatic to see him tomorrow." I said with a big grin as we walked down the hallway.

'Deny it! I dare you!' I said to myself.

"Hmpf! Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, you'll never know." Bella replied with a smile.

"Tsk!" I sucked my teeth loudly causing Bella to laugh.

"What? Thought you could spin it on me? No way bucko." Bella said regaining her triumphant smile from before.

"Yeah yeah, at least I got Alice's number, what did you get? Nada, nothing." I said with a shiteating grin, I won't lose!

"That's just because you're desperate, I bet you begged her for it." Bella replied as she lost her smile and gained a competitive look.

"Nope, she asked me for my number." I said now having a triumphant smile on my face.

"Bella." A voice came from in front of us.

"Y-Yes?" Bella stuttered in response to the vampire who spoke to her, Edward.

"Yuck, ew, gross, ugh, I'm gonna puke." I said with a disgusted look on my face as I looked at the mess that was Bella.

"Shut it!" Bella shouted at me with a glare.

"Hehehe." I laughed quietly at her display, I always win! Woohoo! Yeah Baby!

"Um, what is it?" Bella said trying to pretend like what just happened didn't.

"I was wondering if I could get your number?" Edward said with a small smile.

"Ye-yeah, of course." Bella said as she took the phone Edward was holding out and entered her contact information.

"I'll text you later." Edward said before making his exit.

"What were you saying about a number?" Bella said with a smile immediately after Edward left.

"I-I d-don't k-know w-what y-you're t-talking a-about." I said returning her smile as I mocked her and how she stuttered at the presence of Edward.

Since Bella and I began talking I could hear the Cullens all laughing their asses off, even the silent Edward and the always angry Rosalie were chuckling.

"Whatever." Bella said as she rolled her eyes.

Done with our conversation we continued making our way to our vehicles and once we arrived we both got in and left the school.

"Suppose I'll do some training since I've got time." I said as I pulled into the driveway.

With that intention, I grabbed my things from the back seat and locked my car before heading into the house.

"What are you gonna do?" Bella asked curiously.

"Workout, you should try it." I said with a grin as I made my way upstairs.

"Bastard!" Bella shouted from downstairs as I entered my room.

After entering my room I used magic to change my clothes into something you would work out in, a tank top and black shorts.

"Oh yeah, I've got homework." I said before pulling the homework I had out of the floating bag and doing it in record time, high school level work offers literally zero challenge for me.

"Good to go." I said after finishing the school work I was assigned.

With my work done, it was now time for my workout so I quickly left my room and went outside before placing myself on the side of the road for a warm-up jog.

Now, a simple jog could never be considered a warm-up for me under normal circumstances but with magic that changes. By using magic I can alter the gravity around my body and multiply it by whatever number I want.

When speaking of working out my Hanma bloodline always is in the talks but ever since I began working out I noticed something that I couldn't get out of my head, I didn't have the Demon Back or the Demon Brain. I wished for the purest Hanma bloodline so it should be on a completely different level compared to Yujiro and Baki but I don't have what they have, why is that? Well, I have a few theories but I'm still uncertain myself.

After I working out for so long I felt like I reached a wall, like something was limiting me severely. I could feel something blocking my physical potential from reaching the level it should be, I felt a limiter, a limiter which theoretically shouldn't exist within any Hanmas who have proven to be able to grow ridiculously strong. For example, Yujiro Hanma was able to stop a magnitude 6 earthquake with a punch.

My first theory was that I had a built-in limiter, similar to the one they spoke of in One Punch Man. In truth, I was able to locate what I believe to be my 'limiter' inside of my brain and although I would have removed it immediately if I could, I was able to simulate what would happen if I did and the result wasn't pretty, I literally melted alive until I was nothing but goop.

My second theory was a more normal one, I had reached the peak strength that my current body could contain and I needed to grow to increase that limit. But this was more of a speculation than opinion, as I had no solid proof. Perhaps I'll have a final growth spurt like Saiyans do when they turn 18, and then my body will be able to continue growing in power because I'm not satisfied with my current physical prowess.

My third theory was that it was my own fault for my stunted growth. Perhaps I was overthinking it to such a degree that I was limiting myself without knowing it. I didn't really think this was the problem but I wouldn't take it off the table completely.

Because of this problem, I have been studying biology fervently and due to that, I have developed an intense interest in the body. I began biology with the intent of discovering what was wrong with me and although I'm still unable to figure it out, in the process I developed the intention to further improve myself even if my Hanma bloodline stopped benefiting me.

Throughout my years in this world, I have studied as many human-covered studies as I could with Biology being my most recent one. My reason for this at first was to further my magical prowess by gaining as much modern knowledge as I could and while that's still my goal, after realizing that my Hanma bloodline may not help me as much as I thought it would I began to work with the intention of creating serums and other things that could help me.

Yes, serums, such as Captain America's Super Soldier Serum or Deathstroke's Serum. Shoot, I've been wanting to make Extremis as well, but I can't get ahead of myself, the serums were already extremely difficult to make but I wanted them for me as well as my family.

Why would I even need stuff like that for Twilight? I won't hide it. After my first death, I've become extremely paranoid, I fear and hate weakness and I won't be weak, I can't be. I need to be prepared for any surprise and so do my weaknesses, my family. I would rather be outrageously overpowered than not strong enough when it mattered most.

My reason for wanting Bella and Dad to have the serum is simple. I don't want Bella to become a vampire if she doesn't want to and I won't leave my dad behind like what happened to him in the movies, if anything I want him to become a vampire so he might be able to find his mate. Regarding my mother, I wasn't sure if I should give her a serum but I would figure it out in the future, I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

Anyway, the point is I feel like I've reached a wall with my physical prowess that I need to overcome but even with that wall, I'm not weak. My speed is at the Transonic stage, at 720mph and although it was fast, it wasn't enough. Meliodas was able to move at the Hypersonic stage, around 3836mph which was far faster than me.

Meliodas's strength was another thing altogether. At his peak, Meliodas had the strength to lift a mountain the size of Mount Everest and while that was incredibly impressive but the question now was how strong was I. Currently, I can lift around 640 tons, yes I know it pales in comparison to Meliodas but my physical strength was around Yujiro's so I wasn't disappointed but that didn't mean I was content either.

Using Human, Vampires, and Wolf standards I would be considered a monster, none of those races could match me with physical prowess alone, and if we throw in my magic then they stand absolutely no chance, but something within me is telling me there's more than what I know to this world. I don't know if it's my paranoia or if that feeling is true but I will prepare regardless, I won't die and neither will those important to me.

'I need to figure this out soon.' I said inwardly while thinking of my Hanma bloodline, I felt like I was so close to reaching another level with my physique, and this 'wall' had to be handled.

'Maybe a growth spurt will come in clutch.' I said after I finished my gravity-altered jog.

To be continued...
