Memories (2)

It's been a month since the time I asked grandpa Jin about me. Grandpa Jin and Grandpa Furinji still haven't returned after they left that day. Everyone in the house just felt it was natural and told us not to worry about the two 'monsters'. At this time, I was focused on organizing my memories. The first thing I did was compare my world to the 'fiction' that I knew. I was Jin Mori (check), I was found by grandpa Jin (check), I'm practicing renewal taekwondo (check). What doesn't checks out is why am I in Japan? In GOH Jin Mori was Korea's representative in the tournament. Based on that I tried to remember what happened to make me and grandpa move to Japan.

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

I was 4, I just got back from the bathroom. I was at the door about to enter the classroom when everyone suddenly freaked out. I turned to see what happened then I saw someone that looks exactly like me at my desks. Same hair, same cute chubby face, same charming smile. The difference was what he was wearing. He was wearing a black jacket with tiger fur patterned pants with a gourd on his belt. There was a crown-like object on top of his head floating. Also, another surprising thing was he was sitting on top of a small cloud while carrying a long stone staff.

He was sitting on top of his cloud for a while before our eyes met. It lasted for a few seconds before he smiled and suddenly puff out of existence. There was no trace left, the cloud, the stone staff, everything was gone. Everyone looked at me before I received a sudden burst of pain in my head. All I remember was I was clutching my head on the floor while screaming from the pain before I passed out. Next thing I remember I woke up in the hospital with grandpa Jin together with John-hyung and Sera-noona talking by my bedside.

They saw that I was awake then Sera-noona immediately rushed to get the doctor while John-hyung asked if I was fine. After a while, the doctor came and asked questions.

"Do you remember what happened?"

"A little?"

"Please do tell" the doctor urged to tell what I remember

"Wait, I'm confused"

The doctor has a questioning look on his face. I was trying to organize my thoughts since I was remembering extremely weird things.

"I went to the bathroom and I have memories of being there while also the memory of me going back immediately as soon as I exited the classroom door, holding a stone staff while sitting on top of a cloud?"

Hearing the confusion in my words, the doctor became excited. He heard the statements of the teachers and some of the students at the scene and knew the general thing that happened. He signaled for me to continue.

"Then I went back from the bathroom to see myself that was sitting on top of the cloud I was freaking out then we looked at each other in the eyes. I remember each view me sitting from the cloud and me by the door. Afterward, the me that was sitting on the cloud exploded to smoke then I got a headache."

The doctor continues writing on his notes as he listened to my story. I can hear him mumble a few words.

"Cloning, fascinating. The cloud, the getup, and the items from the description of other people are oddly specific"

The doctor continued and asked another question

"Do you remember anything else? Like how to get the black jacket or the crown? Maybe summon the cloud or the staff?"

I tried to think of the doctor's question. Oddly enough I do know how to summon those things. I nodded and he became extremely excited. He told me to try to show it to him. I closed my eyes and focused. It came all-natural and I was able to summon everything instantly. The black jacket and the pants felt like it came from under my skin but when it wrapped around me it feels extremely comfortable. The name of the 'armor' instantaneously came to my head, it was called 'Yongpyo'. I also felt the crown that was hovering around my head. After sometime when I felt comfortable, I tried summoning the cloud.

"Kinto'un" I shouted

A small wisp of white smoke came from outside the window slowly forming a white cloud. But before the cloud could materialize the crown suddenly shrank and was trying to constrict my head. It hurts having the crown constantly shrank in my head. I was panicking and only thought to remove the crown. Almost like a lie, the crown, the small cloud, and the jacket and pants were instantly gone. I looked towards the doctor and could see him writing frantically on his notes. His hands never stopped until one of the nurses called for him.

When he realized what happened, he tried to calm himself down and explained what he thought. First, he said it was my quirk. Quirks are superhuman abilities that a person can have. Second, my quirk is extremely unique. I had different abilities ranging from cloning as he theorized what the copy in the classroom was to summoning different items. Normally there's only a single type of quirk for each person. There are rare cases that produce two or more due to quirk marriage but having someone that has a specific set of multiple quirks is an extremely rare case.

He continued rambling for a while, he only stopped when he noticed that no one was listening to him anymore, even the nurse left already. He cleared his throat then asked what we thought about it. John-hyung and Sera-noona looked excited seeing my quirk. While grandpa was only looking at me intently at the time, he was eerily silent not saying a word. The room was full of discussion from the doctor and John-hyung and Sera-noona until John-hyung asked a question.

"Doctor, what would be the name of his quirk?"

"Now that is an interesting question. I still can't confirm the general theme of his quirk as we don't know all of its capabilities. We need more tests before w-"

"Monkey King" I interjected in the middle of his sentence. They all looked at me with a curious look. Even I don't know where the name came from it just suddenly blurted out of my mouth.

"Uhm, I think the monkey king is good. You know the cloud was named Kinto'un, the staff was Ruyi Jingi, there was also a gourd that can absorb anything. I've read it in a book." I explained to them since it was getting embarrassing how they kept looking at me. I don't know where the explanation came from but it suddenly came into my mind

"Hmmm, if what you said was true then the name really fits in the description," the doctor said while nodding his head.

"Okay, I'll add the name to the quirk database. You should return tomorrow to continue doing different tests so we know all of your capabilities." He quickly added.

I could only nod in response while grandpa was still staring at me. He then sighed and scratched his head like he usually does when he felt defeated and couldn't do anything about the situation.

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

A day passed and grandpa was about to bring me to school when we were suddenly stopped by people wearing black suits. A man came out of a car that was parked near us then he immediately approached.

"Good day, I'm Xiao Wei Xin from the Chinese Hero Embassy." He introduced himself as he gave a card to grandpa

Grandpa took the card and immediately tossed it away, the man flinched but didn't say anything.

"What do you want?" grandpa asked in a serious voice, it was rarely that grandpa spoke to anyone like that. The man continued to smile before talking

"We were tasked by our superiors to bring the little monkey king back to the place her he belonged"

Grandpa stared at the man but before he could speak the man continued

"As you know, Monkey King is one of the titles of a god in our mythology. Along with Kito'un and Ruyi Jingu, it just confirms the suspicion that he really is the monkey king, our monkey king. Our country thinks that it's better for him to go to the land where he was supposed to be in the first place" the man still had a smile on his face as he was continuing explaining things.

(I'm sorry I'm not trying to offend anyone. It's just in every wuxia, or xianxia that I've read it was always the Chinese people that get bullied I wanted to try the other way around.)

"I don't care about all that and Mori is not leaving" grandpa interjected

He only looked surprised at grandpa Jin's words but he still maintained the smile on his face. He snaps his fingers then the people in black suits surrounded us. I wasn't worried since I know no one can beat grandpa. Before they can even start to move. Grandpa did a simple front kick. Most of the people in black suits that are in front of us already on the ground. Some fainted while the others are wailing from pain. The men behind got scared and stumbled on their feet. The smile on the face of the man named Xiao Wei Xin disappeared, it was replaced by fear, his feat was shaking and it looks like he already has trouble standing up.

"I'm saying this now. If you bother us again, I will make sure to send a message on China myself" grandpa declared before pulling me away

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

A few days passed by with nothing happening I remember grandpa going somewhere for a few days and I was left at John-hyung's house until one-day he came into our classroom rushing. He looked around the room and when he saw immediately ran towards me then pulled me out of my seat

"Mori, we need to go now. Those idiots are coming" he said extremely flustered

I look towards him and can see that he has several wounds. I could only nod my head and quickly carry my bag and follow him. But when we got outside the school, I saw several teachers on the ground with burn scars on them while a man with fire surrounding him that was shape like a bird was flying on top of them. He was speaking in a different language so I couldn't understand what he said. He saw me then smiled sinisterly he was about to rush but a woman with horns on her head and sharp claws with reptilian scales and a lizard's tail stopped him. She pointed towards John-hyung before adopting a cautious stance. The man spat angrily and stared at John-hyung he continued blabbering while looking at him.

"Mori, you need to run when I say so okay?" John-hyung whispered

I look at him worriedly but I knew he would be okay. He trained with grandpa after all and his quirk is a cheat.

"When I rushed towards them rushed in the other direction your noona should be waiting at the other side so don't worry"

Before I could answer him, he looked at me and smiled then without hesitation he rushed towards the duo. The last I saw was John-hyung covered in flames while adapting the physical appearance of the woman. I immediately ran towards the other side of the school. On my way, plenty of men in black suits chased after me. With my training, I manage to dodge most of them, but it became tough when some of them started using quirks.

Bolts of lighting, Ice chunks, energy blasts, were thrown at me. The others with physical enhancement quirks were also rushing trying to catch me. The 10 km running every day saved me since I had more stamina and speed than normal kids. I saw Sera-noona on the other side of the road but when I was about to cross a huge bulky woman with a tortoiseshell shield appeared in front of me. I saw Sera-noona about to rush but she got stopped by a man with a white tiger patterned jacket. The man did some sort of a hand sign then an earth wall was erected in between us.

The woman in front of me smirked. She signaled the men in black suits to move away, then she rushed towards me aiming to crush me with her shield. I was going to jump out of the way when I felt something was grabbing my ankles. A whip of water was tied in my feet, I followed the line to where the water was connected and saw that the huge woman was controlling it. I didn't panic, I remember grandpa's teachings and manage to stay calm. I weighed my options but I couldn't realistically see myself beating this woman. She was about to hit me when almost instinctively I summoned 'Yongpyo'. When she hit me, I was surprised since I didn't feel any impact at all on the contrary the woman was the one who bounced back after crashing onto me.

After getting bounced back, the woman became angry. She then said something to the people around then they all started pouncing me like maniacs. Though I didn't feel anything from their attacks, I was slowly getting overwhelmed by their number. Seeing as I don't have any more options, I summoned Ruyi Jingu, the stone staff. I was about to start fighting back when I heard grandpa's voice from the distance.

"WHY ARE YOU NOT USING RENEWAL TAEKWONDO MORI? IS THAT WHAT I TAUGHT YOU?"

I turned around only to see him suddenly appear beside me.

"Hah, so you have a quirk now? You don't want to use taekwondo eh? I'll show you quirk or no quirk I'm the strongest" he said as he was scratching his head then he continued

"Look at what I'm going to show you" grandpa Jin took a fighting stance not the usual taekwondo stance but more of a casual one.

"If you became strong you can do something like this" he then punched the air but I was surprised that he hit someone a few meters away from him. He then continued to do a simple punch and kick but men that are meters away are still getting hit. No matter how they block or dodge was useless they were always hit. After clearing the men in suits, he turned around to the bulky woman. She was saying something towards grandpa but he just dismissed her. Then grandpa announced

"I hoped you're as tough as you look if not you will not survive this" grandpa finally took a simple kicking stance. Left foot at front, right foot in the back. He then slowly motioned to do a simple hwechook. When he finished his motion, a huge air pressure suddenly assaulted everyone. The bulky woman made a wall of water to try and block grandpa's kick but it resulted in nothing as her wall and shield broke. Then she flew far even breaking the wall of earth that was erected across the road. But it didn't stop there, the kick was so strong that even the man fighting Sera-noona was hit and they both flew to the forest. Luckily the direction of the kick was towards the forest and not the town or everything would have been destroyed.

I think I fainted at the time due to exhaustion and the next thing I saw was grandpa Jin was running on top of the ocean.

(AN: Just did this chapter to make sure that them being in Japan makes sense not just randomly getting spawned there. lol hope you guys enjoy it and if you have any comments and suggestions please do say so! It's really fun engaging with people on how they see what I wrote. It also helps me see if I'm leaving plot holes for later haha

Question: Should I post a chapter at a specific time or whenever I felt like it?
