Gutless

"Everything follows fate no matter how far it strays". a reasonable explanation of why every single fanfic follows a very similar path, the one that the original story carved out, so if you know the future and live in an already existing character, your life will continue to follow fate no matter how hard you run from it.

this was the dilemma Atsui was facing, he didn't want to be a hero but he was already forced along the original path with only small changes happening here and there, so Atsui doubted he wouldn't be forced to become a hero.

he missed out on becoming a hero through One for All so unless All might decides to go and take a walk in the crackhead areas probably looking like a crackhead and stumbles into Atsui, Atsui was relatively fine.

the only other two options were the regular way and the recommendation, the regular way would be easy but how was Atsui going to be forced into it was his question. the recommendation was not going to happen unless some mystery man does it.

Atsui decided on doing the only thing that Izuku was doing during this period of his life, training. how Atsui was going to train was the only way he could, maximize the efficiency and output.

the schedule he was working on already cut down his sleep to 5 hours but with the inclusion of training he would be down to 30 minutes of sleep but 30 minutes isn't worth anything so it was essentially 0 sleep.

this caused a crisis called is it worth it, yes it was worth it but the other side had the reason called sleep. both sides were viable but the gains were the only thing on Atsui's mind and sleep didn't equal gains.

-——————————————————————-

this was the start of the eleven months of exhaustion although the first month was purely finding a place to train, he couldn't train in the crackhead alleys or any public places. it ended up that Atsui was asking Bakugo if he had any place to train quirks which lead to a gym that allowed quirk training.

the boss's only deal was don't damage the gear and you were allowed to use your quirk but only in rooms, you could rent. these rooms were free as long as you cleaned up any messes caused in said room and they were always open due to almost nobody knowing of the gym.

so during the ten months, Atsui set two goals number one was making the change in temperature instant instead of a few minutes, and goal number two was to maximize the power of his quirk with and without the orb, both of which would take much time so he was more focused on the without part.

-——————————————————————-

before Atsui started training his quirk strength was only civilian level he could at most set very small flammable things on fore or freeze small droplets of water, Atsui was not prepared to do the test by any chance with his small level of strength so he trained.

in that first month of hunting for a location, he purposely avoided beaches but the most viable areas were beaches so he had called Bakugo on his phone for the location of the place Bakugo trained being revealed to a gym named Jackie's why it was named that Atsui didn't know why.

during the "first" month, he had focused on increasing the temperature of his quirk and that was the easy part his quirk could indefinitely increase or decrease the temperature but at low efficiency, high stamina cost is Atsui's worst enemy the cost was so high nobody would be able to compete with him in a competition of stamina.

efficiency was Atsui's main focus as his stamina was already at max level. what his focus was was trying to shift between the max heat and the max cold and every time he did Atsui's quirk got faster and stronger. by the end of the first month, he could freeze an entire cup instantly which was impressive compared to the beginning, and through his heat mastery, he could set the air on fire with extreme mental acrobatics.

during the second month, Atsui focused on the range of his quirk, which he expanded to the whole room and then decreased to right on the surface of his skin, it stretched out his domain allowing Atsui to bend his area like bubble gum into weird shapes.

month three was the same as the first but instead of just general area control Atsui tried to freeze a sphere inside of a huge bowl filled to the brim with water, the struggle was not to freeze all the rest of the water but eventually Atsui gained results but not the one he wanted to create what was created was a sharp ball of spikes. month four was spent doing the same thing he still didn't gain the wanted results but now Atsui had a sphere but it would instantly be filled with cracks

month five was spent trying to create water by freezing the moisture in the air, small ice shards were created in the air and then melted to create water. Atsui learned how to make steam and snow through that method

month six was spent creating smoke screens and small snowstorms and ice shards. month seven was spent making ice cubes and turning objects partially into ice. month eight was similar to the last two. month nine was also the same as the last one

and with one month before the entrance exam, all of Atsui's focus was put into making a trump card or a special move but the first part of making a super move was how in the Hel will it work.

Atsui has two ideas but neither was good or guaranteed safety. idea one was to consume the orb and see how that goes or idea two increase the number of orbs and increase the size for every single one to maximize the input allowed. Atsui could tell both ideas were bad but if they worked, they worked and he wouldn't complain.

but to use his ideas effectively and not die in the process he would need to be prepared to the fullest, which called for a backup named Bakugo, and a new area so they don't blow up the gym.

so through the recommendation of Bakugo, they moved to The Takoba Municipal Beach Park aka trash isle. they had finally gotten to a clear area to test his dumb ideas

-——————————————————————-

"HURRY UP ALREADY I HAVE THINGS TO DO" Bakugo was already annoyed as he was training himself he shouldn't have agreed to watch.

"yes I know but you wouldn't be here if you didn't care" Atsui responded in again the most monotone voice that wasn't robotic.

Atsui finally started his test run for the super move option one eat the orb, how he was going to eat it was either swallow the orb whole or crunch it. he decided to swallow the orb whole.

"down we go," Atsui said right before swallowing the orb, nothing happened at first but after a few sec, his body started to alter rapidly.

Atsui's body swelled and bubbled then sharpened and smoothed, he grew to a size of 7'9 he was lean and skinny but muscular and top-heavy, and his hair grew down to his waist and while all of the changes themself were unsettling the thing that stood out was a huge orb that took up then entirely of his abdomen.

the growth not only increased his body but also Atsui's strength to an insane level compared to his regular. his regular could already set things on fire or turned to ice without trying but this new regular would melt everything thing in his radius and at max would just disintegrate any object in his radius and the ice was upgraded to the point of anything would just become ice Atsui had constant snow surrounding him and at max for ice, he could create ice structures of huge size.

but the transformation only lasted a few seconds as Atsui just suddenly fainted

sorry for not releasing a chapter earlier I was just really busy

any ideas on the use of his quirk maybe a bit of constructive criticism, some ideas in general, just wanna talk comment I respond to those
