Just Show Me Where to Go

“You’ve been doing good work with them,” Sairaorg commented, looking at the training grounds ahead of them while his peerage battled his strike team of a sort. Jeanne, the fallen and Kuroka faced off against the devil peerage and they were giving them a run for their money, by the looks of it. Joshua and Sairaorg were staying out of the spar, having just finished their own. A...

Chapter 43

Todoroki didn’t say anything as they walked back into the building, which he was grateful for. Kazuki barely noticed when Midoriya and Shinso walked past them. That is, until the former grabbed his arm from behind him. In a moment’s notice, he found himself looking into green, concerned eyes.

“Are… I mean, you… You fought well, Endo,” Midoriya mumbled, apparently having lost his nerve a little after stopping him. Kazuki gave him a stiff nod ...

To the People, the Good and the Evil

Joshua moved through the cafe with a tray on his hand and a smile on his face.

He didn’t go there often and it felt like he did so less and less as time passed. He was often busy and there always seemed to be something to do. His plate was permanently full and things continued stacking on top of it anyway. At times, as his situation became more evident and came ...

Chapter 42

After his group wished him good luck, Kazuki found himself on the way to the stage once more, this time accompanied by his opponent and – maybe – new friend. To his group’s credit, they had also wished Todoroki good luck and they’d meant it. They were cool like that, after all.

They’d also crossed paths with Yaoyorozu and they had exchanged quick congratulations and good luck, one for her and one for them. To be perfectly honest, Kazuki hadn�...

Awake and Alive

“So, it happened,” Yasaka said with pursed lips and a frown on her face. She didn’t look happy to see that he’d won a fight against another Longinus, it seemed. Not that Joshua blamed her though. He could take a guess about what she was thinking and it was likely along the lines of “why’d you stupidly put yourself in danger like that?” or some such. Not that she’d voice that...

Chapter 41

Monoma’s match was being set up, and in the meantime Midoriya had come back to the viewing section.

Nobody seemed very eager to let him live down the “damage” he might have done to the Kaminari bloodline, however. Poor bastard had a very good reason to be awkward at that moment, and Kazuki didn’t let it get to him much. He had bigger shit to worry about and at least he knew this wasn’t too bad. Besides, all the teasing seemed to make Midoriya ...

The purple, flaming wave rushed towards him and he should have been afraid. The air was the one that changed first, at first feeling like when one places their hands too close over a heater but quickly growing to over a campfire and then it just hurt and burned. Joshua didn’t stay to feel that though, simply teleporting away and calling it day before the fire could reach him. He ...

Chapter 40

“Pretty good job there, man,” Mineta commented, sitting beside Kazuki as they looked at the battlefield where Todoroki was going to face Kamakiri. It was nice of the organizers to delay things long enough for participants to reach the stands once more, truly. “Hagakure got a little scared at parts though.”

“She did?” Kazuki asked with a half-smile, turning just in time to see the invisible girl smack Mineta. “I appreciate the concern.” 2023-12-28 17:53:45 +0000 UTC View Post

“Sirzechs,” Joshua greeted with a smile and a nod. “Lord Gremory.”

“Joshua.”

“Mister Davis,” the older Gremory replied, grinning as he held a camera in his hands. “So good to see you,” Lord Gremory – Joshua had forgotten his name, but then again, they had never actually met – looked genuinely excited to meet him. “We’ve never been formally intro...

“All right,” Midnight started then, picking up a box that she’d had set by her side. “Now, we’ll determine who fights who through this lottery,” she continued, shaking the object so that they could hear the numbers inside. “Once the matchups are decided, we’ll have the recreation events before the final round. Whether or not the sixteen of you want to compete in the recreation events is up to you since I’m sure you’ll want to prepare and s...

Don’t Know How Much Time Has Passed

[Joshua Davis]

He stood there with his eyes narrowed as he watched the Fallen train, sparring between themselves. He was picking up a number of things with his many spells and he had about a dozen ideas of how to approach the next version of Project Ascension. He wasn’t anywhere close to breaking down the way to give angels more wings, but he c...

Chapter 38

The shift in emotions in the immediate surroundings was very easily noticeable even without Kazuki’s sense of them. He could see it all, the way all the participants sagged and even Midnight, off to the side, seemed to slump a little. Fortunately for him, the effect didn’t seem to reach far enough to affect the stands, which he was grateful for. He hadn’t quite managed to test the range of the Apathy, after all.

He couldn’t imagine it’d have d...

[Agnes Waterhouse]

“Yes… I can do that, no problem,” she replied, slowly, still not very sure that was happening at all. Davis had certainly managed to come with an interesting request. He was asking her to take in a magician from another association, effectively stealing the girl for herself.

That was… slightly problematic. It wasn’t unhe...

“All right!” Present Mic exclaimed as everyone was done getting into their formations.

Kazuki’s team had been kind of waiting for everyone else, mostly, but they were in position too now. With Togeike as rider so that she could more easily use her Quirk to keep everyone away. He’d had to reassure the Gen Ed student quite a bit, especially considering that everyone was very obviously looking at them. At least Monoma, who was placed to Kazuki’s ...

“That was hot,” Serafall told him once the meeting with the Phenex was done and they were alone, walking through the halls of Yasaka’s place towards the room they usually stayed at. With a sigh, Joshua brought the can of beer in his hand to his mouth. “What’s with that reaction?!” the Satan exclaimed, scandalized and pouting.

Chapter 36

Kazuki froze where he stood past the finish line.

Not because he’d won, although that was a pretty shocking thing too. It wasn’t that he didn’t think he could make it, but more like… He’d expected to lose to someone else. He wasn’t the strongest student in his class, or at least he didn’t think so. Just like that, he might not even be stronger than some other class’ strongest either. And yet…

It was him that stood in first place....

If We Can Make It in the End

[Joshua Davis]

Delving into the divinity of the Minor Blessing of Egypt was proving to be… something.

Joshua wasn’t too sure how to go about even explaining it, if he were honest. He’d thought it was more or less the same as before, just flexing it like a muscle that had always been there, like the blessing of Set seemed to have been....
