PAGE 17: AFTER THE USJ

The next day, school was closed so Kazuya was looking for something to do; it was hard for him to get over what happened so he decided to go for a jog.

He wore a white sleeveless shirt, with a black tracksuit and headed out. he began running through his street as he greeted some people on the way, while he jogging he began recalling the events of the USJ and he said to himself 'I'm not strong enough, though I was able to hit that monster, I didn't really affect it all I did was push it back. I need more power, power with which I'll be able to look at such monsters and disintegrate them with a single punch (almighty push x punch)' with that in his mind he began looking over his schedule and decided, he'll firstly eliminate the cool down of his quirk.

Kazuya's quirk: 'deva path' has the abilities: attraction, repulsion and ground magnet. When speaking of attraction and repulsion, he's unable to use it successively as there's a cool time of 5secs minimum which reduces his efficiency. Over the years, he was able to reduce said cool time for simple pulls/push to 0 but for long range like his highest which is now 89m, it had a cool time of 30mins, also the power of each push depended completely on his energy and distance from target thus the power of 'almighty push' on someone closer to him will be far greater than that on someone 89m away from him. So he thought reducing the cool time won't only increase how fast he could use his quirk but also how much he could do so.

With that new fire lit in him, Kazuya immediately rushed back home as he called his father so he could begin implementing his new plan to get stronger.

Soon it was night and Kazuya could be seen standing in the middle of a completely deserted area, it was a forest but no trees could be seen around, even the grass fields which were supposed to occupy the ground had vanished. All this was caused by Kazuya's repeated use of 'almighty push'; you could see the sweat dripping from his body, his heavy breathes and his hollow eyes. From all this one could guess he had pushed himself way past his limit. (You must saying 'wtf' right now; well let's take a trip down memory lane to see what happened)

---FLASHBACK--

After having heard his son's plan, Kai couldn't help but have a wryly smile, the boy's idea literally made him wonder whether this boy was normal but after remembering their discussion last night, he understood that he has to let the boy make his own decisions so he said "okay I'll accept but you have to go school tomorrow, how'll you do?" Kazuya thought before saying "use your authority to make them know I won't be available" Kai almost fainted from hearing his son's words, the boy wanted him to abuse his power just because some boy wants to get stronger, he looked at Kazuya and remembered him when he was once a toddler and now look at him, Kai felt cheated! He sighed as he said "I'll see what I can do" "thanks dad" Kai nodded as he asked "so where do you want to train?" Kazuya thought before saying "rent some forest in Japan so I can train freely" Kai looked at Kazuya as though he was mad man and he asked "rent a forest? SERIOUSLY?" Kazuya's expression didn't change as he stared at his father, Kai took a seat as he felt really tired, just now he grew 30 years older, he then waved his hand as Kazuya as he said "*sigh* okay a jet will take you to Aokigahara very soon, I'll send one to bring you back when U.A deems it necessary" "I'll be taking my leave then" Kazuya said as he headed out while Kai took his phone and called the U.A administration.

Moments later, a jet arrived the area and Kazuya boarded it with only the dress he had at the moment as the jet flew him to Aokigahara.

---FLASHBACK END--

Kazuya seem to reach his limit as his eyes finally close and he falls to the ground and falls unconscious in the middle of nowhere.

Meanwhile this was happening, Kai finally finished his conversation with principal Nezu as he said [yes Mr. Nezu, I'll make sure he's back before the sports festival begins, thanks for accepting my request]. Nezu sighed from hearing this as the white mouse thought 'he'll come back stronger than ever'

The following day at U.A,

Classes had finally begun for the day and at 1A, Ida was keeping the class in order when suddenly, Mr. Aizawa stepped through the door shocking everyone. They worried about him but he told them to think about themselves as the U.A sport's festival is coming up as he briefs them on how important, the event is and how it'll boost them if they aim to one day become heroes. Each student is fired up as they begin mapping out how well they'll fair in 2 weeks' time. But then a simple questions brings them out of this, "where's Kazuya-san?" Yaoyorozu asks, this turns everyone's attention to the empty seat before they look at Aizawa for answers, he sighs as he says "Kazuya Mitsui is on leave for the meantime, he'll be back for the sports festival so don't worry about him" the students were doubting but they had to accept as they had to prepare for the upcoming events. But some people had a frown when they heard this as they guessed he was undergoing some special training.

After school that day, the 1A exit was filled with students. This shocked many but Katsuki was the first to understand as he stepped up and informed the others before saying to the crowd "it's pointless to try, why don't you just fuck off, ya goddamned mobs" a certain someone came out and began voicing his dissatisfaction while another began warning them not to embarrass the school but what made all the 1A students turn was when one said "where's the famous Mitsui kid hah, did he leave cuz he's scarred? We expected more from the rich kid" surprisingly Katsuki who was at the forefront didn't speak as he advised "better hope he doesn't come back, cuz if he does, I doubt any of you mobs will stand a chance" seeing that he had said his piece Katsuki left.
