3 Chapter 3: My Grandmaster

Sato P.O.V

I again found myself staring out the window at school It was the next day after that dream I felt myself being watched.

I sighed before looking towards the teacher she would get on my case if she caught me staring out the window.

'I must really be spooked if that dream set me that off'

The problem was that dream was too realistic I still felt phantom pain as if he had been truly stabbed through the gut.

But it couldn't be real I would have this 'Quirk' if I had been stabbed, and there was no scar from the stab.

All I felt had felt was a slight headache but that was what was all off in the morning but that was it nothing to suggest a late quirk awakening.

'Maybe I truly am pathet-no thinking like that will only dig my despair deeper'

"Hey Sato-Kun wanna go grab some ramen later at the usual"

A light-hearted voice interrupted my thoughts looking up from my desk I found my friend Tanto. He had black hair with red tips he had baby fat still on his face but he still looked good. He was still shorter than Sato and he was also made fun of it. We had met in my first year and had became great friends.

He was my only friend and anchor for the sanity I still had he had remained even after everyone else had left me.

"Sure let's go Tanto-Kun"

---30mins later---

"So what's with all the spacing out its not like you "

"Just remembering a bad dream I had "

Tanto looked wearily at me he had every right too it was Uncharastic of me to space out this bad especially over a dream

"wanna talk about it "

"No, I'm over it now plus don't wanna dampen the mood"

I couldn't help but let a smile form on my face even if the dream was real why would I join Gremmy was it?

Im fine where I am even if it's not the best spot it's okay.

I look around and find that were nowhere close by the usual ramen place were standing at the mouth of an alleyway underneath a highway.

"Hey Tanto wher-"

Im interrupted by a kick the force enough to propel me down the alleyway.

"hehe hahaha"

Whose laugh is that? Is that Tanto?

"God finally I thought we would take forever to get here took to long to get your guard down"

What is he saying?

"Do you know how disgusted I was to pretend to be friends with a waste of space like you"

No this is wrong

"What to stunned to speak to me"

No

"Answer me you trash"

I feel his foot dig into my stomach, and I can only tumble further into the alleyway.

"Is it really that hard to believe that I would wanna hurt you"

No

Stop

"Don't you get it, it was all a ploy "

Stop

"I never liked you"

Stop it

"I never was your friend"

Stop talking

"You thought that someone with a future would be friends with a waste of good oxygen"

STOP talking

"Let me tell you how it is Sato-Kun

YOU

ARE

ALL

ALONE"

"STOP TALKING!"

I get up and throw my fist at him though with a bored look he catches it. He looks at me not with the eyes of a friend but the same eyes everyone else has.

Eyes that don't see me as a person but trash to use however they want I hate those eyes I hate everything.

"Did you not forget my strength quirk or did your dumbass forget here let me remind you the difference between us"

CRACK

"AHHHHH"

I fell to my knees my right hand gripping my broken left.

Tanto crouched down in front of me grabbing my hair he forced me to look into his eyes.

"Im going to kill you, and you will sit back and enjoy every last punch"

Why?

Why me?

Why was I born Quirkless?

Why does society hate me?

I did nothing wrong am I not a human too?

What makes me different from the others?

I just want somewhere where im welcomed. where I can smile and not have it taken away. I don't care where it is just somewhere where I'm not hated.

No that's foolish society doesn't work that way.

Society is a cruel place where the strong make the weak weaker nothing will ever change I can't change it, and no one else can. Im just destined to be taken advantage of.

I get it now what I want

I want to be strong.

I want to be strong so no one can deny my existence.

No one will tell me I'm nothing.

That's for me to decide.

I can imagine a balance between me and Tanto the balance is broken he's given me to much misfortunes I must tip the balance to its original order.

Tanto pulls his fist back ready to strike only to pause.

CRACK

"AHHHHH"

Reaching for his left hand Tanto can feel its broken he's felt this many times before in previous fights. Tanto falls to the ground and grips his left hand he starts tearing up as the pain gets to him.

The sound of someone getting up reminds Tanto of another presence looking up he finds Sato standing above him now with two items one in each hand.

In his right, he holds an English longsword that gives one a noble aura. The blade is pristine and doesn't have a single chip in the blade.

In his left hand, he holds an English five-sided white shield the shield is topped by a five-pointed gold star.

What's most terrifying for Tanto is Sato's eyes, there emotionless like always but now there is a certain sharpness in them. One that Tanto has seen in many people before.

The decisiveness to kill

"Wait sato we can ta-"

Slash

a large gash formed across Tantos chest

"AAAHHHHH you BASTARD TRASH SCUm DONt Get CoCKY"

"Shut up"

Slash

Another gash formed down Tanto's chest.

Tantos was quiet until he began to cough up blood from his wounds.

"Im not going to kill you my blades disgusted by your bleed out, live I don't care just know"

He had turned to walk away before looking back green emotionless eyes met amber eyes filled with despair.

"If I see you again I will kill you"

With that Sato began walking away

Tanto remained there for how knows long bleeding out a pool of his own blood formed around him. The silence was interrupted by the sound of footsteps thinking someone had come to save him he looked towards the footsteps to meet a kid the same age as him.

red commanding eyes met begging eyes of amber they sat there in their miniature staring contest till the kid knelt next to Tanto.

"You know Tanto you helped my plans immensely awakening his powers with your betrayal brilliant, I should be healing you for your contributions"

Tantos' eyes start to shimmer with the hope he would first get healed and then kill that bastard Sato.

"Buuuuuut you did hurt my good friend Sato I can't have that, no I won't have that so I decided your gonna die "

The last part was said dripping in sadistic glee at the thought of hurting another human.

"You see im taking inspiration from a man named Shigaraki"

A hand was placed on Tantos foot and it quickly began decaying Tanto seeing this starting squirming only to open his two wounds further

Patting Tantos face a couple of times the kid got up and started walking away from the same way Sato had walked.

The last thing Tanto saw was the back of the white coat and the friendly wave he received.

Mc P.O.V

Im happy

Fuck that im bouncing with joy although Im sitting on my throne with an impassive look I could not be happier.

When my droids revealed to me he had awakened his Quincy powers so quickly I had thought he had acquired them on his own.

Who knew that ant(Already forgot Tantos name)would help me so much, and I gave him such a slow death I hope he's happy wherever he ends up.

I had created 20 new droids 10 on each side forming two lines in front of my throne all kneeling. They were there to give a more regal, and noble vibe to everything, after all, I am getting my new grandmaster.

Sensing someone goes through my barrier I watch expectantly as the door swings inwardly and watch as Sato walks in.

He's definitely changed gone is the hopeful boy hoping someone will change his world. Before me is someone ready to take charge of their own destiny and make something for themselves.

walking in between the row of kneeling droids Sato arrives in front of me with that same impassive face as if nothing matters to him.

Sato kneels before the throne but never breaks eye contact with me maintaining a strong gaze on me.

"What are you doing Sato?"

"My life"

"hmm?"

I tilt my head at his vague response although I know where this is going I do want him to say it himself.

"The power to never have my existence denied."

He finally looks down acknowledging me as his superior

"Give me it and you have my life"

Summoning his sprit weapon he points the bladed tip towards his heart while presenting the handle to me.

Gripping it I pick up the blade I raise the blade as if to strike swinging the blade down I bring it to his right shoulder where I calmy rest it.

"Sato Kazumi from henceforth you are the Quincy grandmaster you shall hold command over every Sternritter and Soldat in the Vandenreich "

Raising up the blade I raise it again and bring it down on his left shoulder

"Your orders are only second to mine, and you shall only take orders from me. DO you accept this responsibility "

flipping his blade to where I hold the blade I present the handle to him. He looks up and grabs the blade he stands up and looks at me.

"I do"

"Good your training starts now"

Normal P.O.V

Gremmy mutters to him as he sits down as on queue all ten droids stand up throwing their arms out of their robes they reveal their robotic limbs as they all bring out staffs.

With the spinning of the staff black lightning arcs across their staffs. (Look up electro staff except for its black lightning)

The left closest robot jumps up and swings down his staff on Sato who calmy looks up and tightens the grip on his sword he quickly slashes across the droid splitting in half.

He then steps to the left dodging a thrust from the closest right most robot.

Being smart he grabs the robot arm instead of the staff and slashes up the robot splitting it in half.

---30 minutes later---

4 Robots remained

Sword and Staff clashed in a battle of strength with both unable to get an advantage over the other. (Remember Sato has no formal training he's just relying on his superior body as a Quincy.)

Sensing an attack from behind Sato brings his shield above his head to block an incoming staff from behind.

Noticing the bad spot he is in he pushes out with sword and shield knocking both robots back.

The 4 robots now start to circle Sato as he remains in the center calm as always.

Sato closes his eyes and focuses on controlling the power he used earlier.

He imagines a scale representing the battle he is in and begins to balance all the damage he has blocked with his shield and redirects that misfortune towards the robots.

All four robots stop at once and stand there before 3 out of four explode due to circuitry overload.

Sato looks to the fourth robot who seems to be barely standing and crouches with his shield up and sword to his side ready to dash at it.

Or he would have if the robot was not impaled by a sword of light.

Mc P.O.V

"Impressive"

Getting up from my throne I slowly start walking to where Sato stood although he tried to hide it saw straight through the teen.

"Impressive is would I say if you weren't about to drop dead"

Giving a light push he completely fell over he now sat on the floor panting like a dying animal.

"You did good but if you want to be able to hold on to the title of grandmaster fights like this need to be child's play"

Putting my hands in my pockets I turn around I start walking to a set of stairs at the left side of the room.

"wai-wait I can still fight"

Turning around I see Sato pushing himself up I kind of feel the villain leaving the wounded hero. (He kind of is)

"You seem to misunderstand Im not disappointed you just got your powers today, you used a lot in your fight with Tanto and now this fight. Im Impressed"

Pointing my finger to the right side of the warehouse I watch as he follows my eyes to another set of stairs opposite mine.

"When you're done panting like it was your first time your room is down those stairs. There's a shower so make sure you wash up you have had a long day. Your Uniform is in there as well I'll send a droid to get you for breakfast tomorrow morning."

At the confirmation that he did well Sato lets himself go to unconsciousness, he falls back to the ground body sprawled out.

Turning to head back to my room I can't help but smirk as my plan continues to fall in line.

"Phase one is complete now we move on to phase two."

---Omake---

The Balance-Satos schrift

Sato can take the misfortune that occurs within his sphere of influence and disperse it to those that have experienced good fortune, which he believes maintains balance in the world. All the "misfortune" that would occur to him personally is redirected into his Freund Schild(His shield) consequently, all "good fortune" that an opponent experiences in inflicting wounds upon him will be wreaked back upon them in equal magnitude as "misfortune", and the "misfortune" that he experiences merely gets deflected and absorbed into his Freund Schild, causing his opponent to experience even more "misfortune".
