 "What's he doing. . . ?"Shion said to himself out loud, leaning forwards to get a better look what Ghouligan could have been aiming at. Was there a third party that he wasn't able to see yet?The pool ball was fired, and bounced off the decrepit walls like an odd imitation of a billiard table. Once he realized that the projectile was headed for him, Shion's eyes widened as he tried to back away- but at that point he had already been trapped. The normally shapeless air around him was hardened, like a solid wall. He couldn't move.Though, the impact that surely awaited him never came. It's source simply hung in the air, before a familiar hand, thin yet tough, took ahold of it.He knew all along!A familiar mask from before. The same skull he had stared into before losing consciousness.But not only that, the vigilante seemed to find a way to not only restrain their body, but also enter their mind without effort- undoubtedly a result of recent developments that seemed to affect everyone but Shion."Y-You'd do the same thing if you were me! Why wouldn't I, after. . . what you did."The youth's grimace grew weaker as he went on, remembering the events of their prior meeting. That man's death weighed heavily on him, whether he truly deserved it or not. His eyes ended their defiant glare to gaze downwards, losing the need to feel alert as there was no point. Their gap in power was far too much."I needed to find out for sure."

"N-No, it's okay! I can keep going!"Shion responded to Iphi's voice through the intercom with a bit of the same anxiety, though the reason for it might not have been what the seasoned hero though it was.Feeling relieved that Recall seemed to have placed trust in them already, the youth continued. Allowing his companion to simply hang in the air as they were raised with one arm.He didn't really want to think about it, but the whiteness of the testing room felt quite. . . vacant. Like an empty bottle, there wasn't much inside of it to enjoy. Though it made sense, this room was intended for practical activities only.Maybe something could be painted on the walls? No. Scratch that. A decorated room looking empty only made it spookier!"I just think something, and Toto always does the closest thing to that! No better way I can explain it."Shion explained as the alien simply floated, their glazed eyes simply looking upwards at the ceiling. Despite being possibly called "cute", Toto had the emotive abilities of a fish.On Iphigenia's end, the student's brain activity was indeed worth noting. The flat screen showed information that the combination of having Toto active and engaging in cognitive processes made everything seem quite erratic in Shion's head. A far cry from the average human brain.Though the true miracle was how his body could organize and transfer all this information to reflect the appropriate commands.

T-This guy really might be insane. . .Shion didn't react in anger towards Claudio's prods and pushes, but rather with concern for his inexplicable demeanor and behavior. there was no explanation the youth could really think of, which would cause someone to act like this when he was just replying with common sense!Without breaking much of a sweat, he simply caught the falling mug with one hand as the cloud explained himself. Not reacting much despite the finger being prodded to his chest- somehow, he got the impression that he wasn't going to be done any real harm here.Well, for now at least. God save him if he ran into this weirdo again."U-uh huh. Okay. I'm pretty sure of who I am though."But despite the dismissive attitude, Claudio's handshake was accepted. As opposed to the cloud's skin that was slightly rough in some places, Shion's hand was very smooth barring a few calloused portions on his palm. The result of intensive training that began after his admission."I'm Shion- though my last name's Utsui if you want to call me by that. . . nice to uh- meet you! Yeah!"He was doing his best to appear forthcoming, despite visibly being unsettled by the other man's behavior.
Though on another note, Shion wasn't expecting "Kisai" to be a name of his. In his eyes there wasn't much indication he was Japanese- or maybe they were more similar than he thought at first?

Callisto's words reached his heart, yet were somehow rejected by it in the same moment.Was Shion at fault for choosing his loyalty to those who mattered to him, over the law which could be called the "greater good"? Was it nepotism if the well-being of loved ones was chosen over the good of the greater society?Could. . . could he be a hero thinking like this?The youth paused, asking these uncomfortable questions to himself as his gaze lowered. Focused on something else, just like the eyes of the taller man."It's a hard problem. . . I can't think of an answer yet."What matters to you the most?It felt as if an external force was interrogating Shion's conscience, his integrity as a human being. He feared making the wrong choice, giving the wrong answer despite there being no threat of punishment.Perhaps the fear was that there was something about himself that Shion was still unaware of.With a will that came across as flimsy, and a resolve that was unsure, he uttered out more words as Toto was suddenly given back to him."I guess. . . it's all about what you care about."Shion actively questioned why he was giving such a grey and open-ended answer. As training to be what was basically law enforcement, he wondered why he wasn't demonstrating what he was being taught at U.A.The law exists to protect. Bending it is corruption.Perhaps in an effort to brighten the mood, the youth tried to force a smile as Toto settled into his arms, looking back up at the man with blue hair."Haha, I know it's weird to ask you when I don't even know your name, but. . . what's the most important thing to you?"

The faint noises of traffic, chattering people, and footsteps could be heard in the back-alleys that Antoine was being followed through. Despite news of this phenomenon, Shion appeared to be among the few who remained unaffected. Just as the science of quirks suddenly changing remained a mystery, the persistence of Toto, the jingu remained unexplained. Th youth in question was around the corner of a concrete wall, having pinpointed Ghouligan's base of operations ever since that gathering of vigilantes came to be. Shion still couldn't believe that he didn't get caught eavesdropping on the conversation- if he had been caught, his life would surely have been in danger. Gritting his teeth, the youth kept his breathing stable as to not make too much noise. Stalking was no easy affair, especially when you had never done it before. Not to mention, Shion's reasoning for even going forward with this plot was flimsy in of itself. He didn't know the reason why curiosity had seized him, and why specifically the vigilante that had killed the person he was trying to protect- yet left the young hero alive. Ignoring the deafening beating of his heart due to the potential danger he could be faced with, he waited to see where the vigilante would go next so that the info gathering could continue.

The noise of lethargic purring got louder as feet and insectoid legs carried the animal down the pavement.Shion was regularly seen around campus. Taking walks and simply exploring the sprawling complex was still a hobby of his even after a month, as the installations were so massive that only a fraction of it could be explored with what few hours of free time he had each day.But despite those short hours, it felt like a wonderful everyday when he explored."What's that song?"Yohannes would hear a voice inviting him to answer, the visage of a youth covered in bandages becoming clear on the seat next to him. His head, arm, and left leg were all wrapped up due to the events of prior fights and the elemental incident.
But despite that, there was a smile to be seen on his face. As if nothing was wrong.On his lap was a black cat. One who looked very old and venerable- her long whiskers stretching down like a Fu Manchu moustache. The skin was loose and flabby, and the eyes appeared to be closed."Mrrrr-"Fondue both meowed and purred softly, sniffing with their black nose towards the edge of Yohannes' guitar.And just out of sight was Toto, simply resting at Shion's feet like a doll. Motionless, staring into nothing as if nothing in the world could bother them.

Arm, forehead, left leg, lower back.Shion remembered these places hurting like hell for the past few days- they still did, though to a more bearable extent. In his hospital ward, he looked up from the sink of the bathroom to see the number of bandages on his body- it wasn't Halloween yet, and he was already looking like a mummy."Utsui-san, please come to the front desk!"Obliging, the magenta-haired youth gathered his things and changed out of his hospital clothes, not bothering to look back at the bed he had spent the long nights in. It was by the window, yet no light ever seemed to come through to meet him.The nurse, a Filipina in her 30's with fluent Japanese, handed Shion one of those old dial-up phones. It looked like this place hadn't made any technological changes in a while."It's for you."He took the phone, putting it by his ear and listening intently to whoever was on the other side. Opposed to his usual cheery attitude, there wasn't any smile to be seen as the voice on the other end harped on. No one would've guessed that it was someone close calling him."Yeah. . . "That's all Shion said in response. Weakly, as if nothing from the other end was anything he wanted to hear. This was no conversation, just a one-sided relay of a message.His grimace grew the longer he listened, something appearing to snap eventually. A bandaged hand pulled the telephone away from the side of his. Separating him entirely from whoever was speaking to him. Despite there being noise of a voice continuing to talk on the other end, the youth handed it back to the nurse with a blank expression. Gesturing for her to take this off his hands."I'm done."He said plainly, moving on to be checked out and exiting the hospital through the front door.It was already beginning to get dark. The evening sky was an illuminated blue with hints of orange, the time of an oppressive sunset having long passed. By all means, it would have been logical for Shion to just go "home" to U.A. Why stay outside when the entire city felt like it was going to sleep?But he stayed, standing by the steps of the hospital and gazing up at the sky. He longed to fly. Fly away into it and leave this world that had caused him pain- even for a little.Are- are things like this going to keep happening?
Is this the life I signed up for?

Dread took over Shion as the kick changed absolutely nothing. Why wasn't the criminal reeling back? Why wasn't he doubling over in pain.Oh no.He may not have matched the youth in speed- but Shion had clearly bet on the wrong horse. If Laoro's stomach could take a horizontal stomp from him with no struggle, his physical toughness would have to have been several times that of the upstart hero.This was when he realized, as soon as the accented words mixed with anger reached his ear. . .He was going to be in for a world of pain.Toto's grip was loosened. A price they paid for momentarily forgetting how Laoro's quirk activated. And with that freedom given to him, the criminal's kick hit exactly where it was aimed. Shion felt a sharp pain reverb through his jaw, and then his cranium. It felt like a spiked bat was hitting hard enough to make Shion taste metal.But it wasn't over. In a motion Shion could only see as judo-like, the ground which Laoro had occupied quickly impacted the youth. Or rather, he was flung towards the ground."Guh-"With the air knocked out of him, all Shion could do was regret his prior course of attack as his tongue slowly began tasting red. Though, he still wasn't to the point of regretting the fight itself.This wasn't like the matches he had in training. His opponent was treating him as a proper threat, and taking him down like one. In a way, it could be interpreted as a violent respect.

"Baby. . . ? You're the one who said I was cute out of nowhere!"Shion responded absentmindedly, confused as to why Echiiro's defense mechanism was triggered by seemingly an innocuous statement. Geez, all he wanted to know was what this guy was on to act like he did.He took back the bottle with a dismissive expression as soon as the other boy was done, screwing the cap on even though there was barely anything left inside. Someone of Echiiro's size appeared to be more demanding in resources."'Welcome- and suuure you could've, if you were gonna risk a nasty stomachache drinking from that pond."The youth responded sarcastically, yet playfully to his claim of being able to handle himself when things could've easily gone awry if Shion hadn't been there.But as Echiiro took off his top, something took Shion's attention away. Toto sat at his feet, looking up into their friend's eyes.Intensely, Toto stared. Shion looked back down at their multiple pupils in confusion- it was like he was forgetting something, and that the creature knew."You-"Shion whipped around, focusing his now on-guard gaze towards the pyroclast going towards the water. It was unmistakable. The physical features, attitude, clothing, and quirk all matched those from the rumors around class."You're that delinquent in our class year!"Echiiro's question? Unanswered. The youth's realization hit him so hard that basic courtesy failed him, as the thought of being in danger was more urgent.

Shion nodded along as Recall explained the process of the tests to him. He wasn't exactly the biggest fan of having objects hooked up to him as it reminded him of hospitals- just like this building they were in, but thankfully it matched his expectation of what things would be like.Iphigenia moved to the other side of the room after her friendly greeting, to which Shion wasn't acting receptively to like he would any other time. Having followed her into the testing chamber, he removed some hair accessories so they wouldn't get in the way, pocketing them. After which he unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt so they could be pulled up to the elbow.Having put on the wrist bands, the helmet was put on with his head facing upwards so his hair wouldn't get in the way. Once the complex machinery had turned on, connected to the mainframe from which Recall was watching, Shion started to explain the workings of his quirk."So. . . I'll start now. My quirk allows me to summon Toto whenever I'm touching a broom, or anything like a broom with my body. He's usually the same size of- I guess a few meters."Shion's tone and manner of speech was hesitant, almost as if he was purposely trying to omit a detail as the broom in his hands slowly melded to become a motionless creature with many eyes. Resting on his lap."Through a way I can't understand Toto can just- fly. Say no to gravity. They can carry the weight of about a single person, and can be as fast as one of those pricey motorcycles."He raised a knuckle, tapping the alien on it's body twice as a sound akin to a rock being hit with a hammer was barely heard to Iphigenia on her side."Oh, and Toto's a lot tougher than any old broom."

Shion's finger, together with the air of accusation, lowered as contempt and confusion mixed to ferment into a facial expression that communicated loss. Almost horror.What a sham this cloud was. All that silly coating of a quirky clown- just to reveal something underneath which completely unnerved his human senses. But to put it into such words, did that mean that Claudio came across as someone who wasn't human in nature? Surely, dehumanizing the person in front of you was never the moral choice. However, Shion couldn't think of any person in his life that thought this. . . freely.Scratch the idea of a honey badger, this guy was definitely some kind of monkey. A little monkey from the jungle that knew nothing but doing what it wanted, when it wanted. If Shion had a banana right now, he'd have thrown it out the window to see if he chased after it."Ah. . . um."The youth withdrew more towards his side of the room as the cloud continued laughing, calling him a dummy. It was immediately clear that Shion would only be going in circles if he kept arguing with the man across the table. "Okay, okay- can the dummy ask for a name? Yours?"He asked Claudio sheepishly, cutting their debate short as the cloud kept laughing and rolling on the tatami below them both.

Toto struck true, and the noise of both their destruction could be heard for miles around.Shion doubled over as the alien's body crumbled to dust, a dull pain reverbing through his nervous system as traces of both Toto and the behemoth disappeared.". . ."His ears ringing, the youth supported themselves on their knees as the gray concrete dust began to fade, settling on their nose and shoulders like snow. Dried blood from their cuts left streaks of dark red among the sea of gray powder, forcing them to close one eye.Victory.
This was it.After countless explosions, cuts, bruises, stumbles, and casualties- it was finally over. The battle against the great foe had been won. But there was no celebration in sight. No rejoicing and crowning of the heroes that had fought so hard to make this possible.Despite the spring sun peering through the clouds and shining down on him, Shion felt no warmth. All that draped his emotion was the cold reality of destruction. The rubble that was around him had doubtlessly taken years to build up in its entirety, and all it took was a few hours to bring that all down.Taking a breath, he stood up and began walking through the clouds to reunite with whoever had survived. . . if anything, he knew that Claudio was probably still kicking with that quirk of his.Soon, he'd be back at U.A. Away from the scene of carnage. It was known to everyone from the beginning that this was how things often ended in fights for glory, even if seeing it up close made you realize how bad it really was.They'd all have to get over this if they wanted to be heroes.

Shion blinked.Two of them. . . ?His eyes went from Kupo, to the pets, and then to Jack as he stepped out of bed. Absolutely pulling the equivalent of a blank sheet of paper in his mind- in fact, the two occupants could almost see the youth's pupils go white as he struggled to compute the fact that the room, in fact had people in it.Huh? This isn't right! There wasn't anything about guys already being in here!Though, the hindsight soon hit him like a truck hitting a toddler.The document actually had some printing on the back that Shion told himself he'd look at later- but inconveniently, his air-headedness had him make dinner that day instead of finishing things up."U-Uhhh. . ."He didn't quite know what to do- pulling out to think more about it was an option, but would that be worth throwing his first impression under the bus? No, he absolutely could wing this and come out looking okay!"Ah- sorry! Some guy told me that you'd be out or. . . something, so I thought I'd come early since no one'd be home! Haha!"Trudging across the floor while clearly looking tense from the outside, Shion pulled his clearly stuffed briefcase across the floor and rested it against one of the beds, bending down in front of Kupo since he seemed more approachable.Also, he wanted to stay away from whatever had growled at him seconds ago."So, what's your name lil' guy?"He asked, wearing a friendly face as one would with a child of Kupo's size, hands on their knees as they looked down at what seemed to be a harmless fluffball of an adolescent- though the reality he didn't know was that he was a legal adult.Despite his perfect Japanese, Shion's features aligned more with Caucasians than they did with the native population. His skin was rather white, and specks of freckles were on his thin nose and lower cheeks. And though the appearance was clearly feminine, his voice and physical structure made things appear to be more ambiguous in discerning gender.

Awakening from a winter of fear, Shion picked his injured, yet living self off the ground as he acknowledged the handprint left on his back. If Claudio hadn't acted just now, both him and Retsu would have been killed.The woman's suggestion was horrible to Shion, yet logical. Swallowing the bitterness of thinking what Toto would go through when the impact would occur, he gave his friend a knowing look before letting them stand on their own- their bag full of explosives being handed off to the creature."Sorry Toto- I'll bake you a big cake after this! Promise!"His look was solemn. As opposed to Retsu's bravado, Shion only watched silently as the payload of explosives, enough to match the weight of a human being, flew like a guided missile towards the behemoth's blind spot.Toto had broken before, by accident of course. However, intentionally leading them to death in this way was a first. The creature was always apathetic, but would the friend hold a grudge against him for doing so?Though his eyes were still open, Shion's vision was focused on the perspective of Toto. Psychically, they steered the creature like an aircraft. Headed straight for the target.Will I. . . end this? Are we finally going to win?
TLDR: Though reluctant, Shion complies with Retsu and sends the Toto-nuke towards the Rumbling's larger body. He stands by as he manipulates Toto's movements, being dead quiet and almost sad.

As his attack of desperation was cut short, the upstart hero still managed to be surprised at the invisible force which forced him away from the criminal. The invisible hand pushing him felt akin to the resistance one experienced when two magnets of the same polarity were forced towards each other, only for the space between them to stay the same no matter how hard the human hands pushed.Shion remembered doing that as a child.So, the masked man's power was to create a repulsing force on anything he touched? His brain went into overdrive as the stages of observing, theorizing, and then planning were walked up like a series of steps in the youth's mind. Though his body was busy twisting itself so Shion could get back on his feet smoothly.Then, he realized that observation was still not over.As Laoro himself got up, Shion was in a crouched state, one of his hands on the ground while he tried to catch a breath. But like a feather ripped from a bird, the youth found himself forcibly being pulled towards the criminal, who was visibly winding up an arm to bring him down to the earth once more.It was inevitable. He couldn't resist the magnetic force pulling him alone. Resist as he might, Shion was forced to stumble towards the taller man that was barely looking worse for wear.The arm came down, and a shadow was cast over eyes that were usually bright mirrors of the sun above.CLANGLaoro's arm would feel as if it had collided with a metal pipe.Having had plenty of time to move autonomously, Toto only had to speed forwards for a second to intercept the blow directed towards their companion thanks to the small distance the opponent had traveled in the past minute.In a fluid motion, the alien would have attempted to wrap their body around Laoro's arm like a constrictor, immediately exerting force to pull them towards the ground. "Why, so you can keep stealing from innocent people?!"Shion took the chance to quickly raise one leg forwards and try kicking Laoro in the stomach, taking into consideration that he could be sent flying again in a moment's notice.So he can attract and repel things he touches. . . ? How can I fight someone like him??
