More school

I awoke the next morning to find ryuko in my arms sniffing me while sleeping like she's trying to ingrain every part of me into her memory. I checked my phone and saw numerous dirty selfies for Mina who wants some action later as well as some shocking news. Overhauls transport was attacked by the league of villains while kurogiri was captured by gran Torino's task force.

At least I know that it's still on canon however the fact that there are only three members left leave some questions as to what will happen next. Will they fight the re-liberation army and still triumph or will they die out this time. No matter I'll simply train and get ready to meet them. I feel I'm close to a breakthrough of some kind but can't picture what.

I slipped out of the bed and wiped myself down with a face cloth to get the sweat off of me. I went to the mess hall and passed numerous lady heroes who were eyeing me like a piece of meat. I entered the kitchen and made a lot of omlets mixed with ham and mushrooms. I also grabbed a few cartons of OJ and placed it all on a trolly and led it back down to ryuko. It's nicer to eat together, when I arrived back down she was up and looking for me but when she saw the food she boomed a mature smile.

We sat on the bed and dug into the food finishing it all. Our bodies are well trained and our quirks are stamina reliant meaning we eat a lot. We made some small talk about how our relationship will work from here. I'm still interning under her so after school we will be spending time together. Weekends I'm with Mina and I'm staying at school dorms so I'll be staying with her unless I'm staying at ryuko's which is allowed under the UA rulebook.

After I graduate I assume we will be joining her agency as I am well liked and would be well received. I also offered her some brand deals with the parlor which she was down for and kept making innuendoes towards my hand skills. Later we showered together and went back to work. A few patrols and then back to school for some hero classes scheduled for today. I just told them I had a checkup in the morning and they let me by.

Today's class was more move training so I decided to build on that feeling of a breakthrough. My sand devil doesn't feel likes it's improved at all after the raid which means it's either my martial arts or my haki. I decided to run through my kata which made cementoss raise one of the bricks he calls an eyebrow. "What are you doing musashi- shonen?"

"Cementoss sensei, I feel I have improved in some way but can't figure out how after the raid. So I'm running through my basics to work out how. Maybe I could combine more martial arts with my quirk or maybe it's something else". He nodded sagely like he understood exactly where I'm coming from.

" I've seen numerous cases of this myself. A quirk evolution or a sensory change after experiencing danger. Do whatever you feel is best I'll cover for you" he said while smiling. I thanked him and couldn't help being appreciative. In my past life teachers really didn't give that much of shit and just tried to enforce their position over the students. Makes me glad the teachers in UA are competent though I wish aizawa was a bit more friendly but hey that's not up to me.

My base marital arts are a little faster but that's cause I grew stronger physically after healing my damaged muscles. That's not what I feel is changing. I turned to killer quartz and started using my raw strength on the concrete smashing it and then turning to Aquarius Ken but that didn't change much other than changes due to my body.

I decided to actively focus on my haki and all of it felt fundamentally different. My conquerors felt more encompassing than it did in the past so I felt I could better smother people in it. My observation haki has changed massively as I could feel that my grasp of my surroundings is much more detailed yet my range hasn't increased. I can feel it still growing.

My armament is also different, I can cover my whole body but I don't do that cause it raises questions but when I used hardening it formed a jagged pattern like a rock. I can feel my will hovering over me for some reason like I'm unlocking some variation. I began running over what I remember from Haki in canon of one piece. With crocodiles brain it's easy to remember things than in the past. A word popped into my head "ryou".

The ryou aspect of haki allows them to use haki like an invisible armour and pass through any defence causing direct damage to the opponent instead. It does internal damage and is seen as the advancement of armament like future vision and voice of all things for observation. I can also remember something about true damage relating to Garp and his fist of love.

I think I may have unlocked my ryou so I stood a meter away from a concrete pillar. From what I remember Luffy tried to do it while punching nuts that not how it works. Rayleigh, sentomaru and the old wano blue haired guy used a palm strike. So karate would be best for this.

I took a deep breath and felt the air pump into me and circulate through my organs and down my veins while I exhaled and repeated this. I drew my palm back and coated it in armament like usual then I tried to make the rest of the haki that would cover my body flow through me like my breath.

I could feel something blue collect in my palm before it changed to a brownish color that gave the visage of something unbreakable and unmovable. This new colour began to cover my hand and arm like a wave. Little did I know while I was experimenting a certain bird man just walked out of a cement cave and turned to see what I was doing.

He was fascinated by how my body parts sometimes turned black. He knew he called it ferro as in iron. Iron sand however he could feel that was wrong. When he attacked it didn't feel like iron to him it felt more spiritual. After training with hawks he was trying to learn more about himself which led him to a spirituality based outlook.

While he stood there watching subaku do something to his palm he was then amazed as he struck out with that palm that seemed to turn the colour of gold momentarily. Before it hit the wall the actual concrete began to ripple like jelly when a finger is pressed into it. However what amazed the boy is that the palm hasn't struck the wall yet but when it connected it melded into the wall causing the opposite end of the concrete pillar to blow outward. When sabaku removed his palm there was no sign of damage at the point of impact.

The boy who was obviously tokoyami heard sabaku murmur "so that's ryou huh, I'll have to train more so I can use it in a fight". Tokoyami felt like spitting out blood at the fact that Sabaku wants to further refine a move like that. It looks like it's designed to kill something rather than capture. He wanted to talk to Sabaku but he left towards cementoss to ask him something.

Back so sabaku he asked "sensei I think I figured it out. Can you make me some thick pillars so I can try out my new moves". The hero complied with a smile that showed he was grateful to see young heroes grow. For the next three weeks sabaku repeated a fixed routine.

Wake up and feed the cats, wake up Mina and get washed and dressed. Make breakfast then head to class. In hero class he trained new combinations of his powers while refining his current ones. After that he headed to Ryukyu's agency and trains against the girls there and heads out to fight giants with them. While he fights them he tests out ryou on them to see its effectiveness then spends the rest of the night either training his haki, merging his martial arts with it, working out, working Ryuko out or doing some office work.

After repeating this new routine Aizawa strolled into class and announced they were doing a school festival.
