Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Elementary Mugging

"Yuki. Please don't bully any other children during recess. Okay?"

"Oh, woe is me, Sensei. You don't think thou would bully another? Whoawhoawhoa."

"... I want to believe you, but…" Elementary school teacher, Ryuto Kurogane, had dark lines hovering over his head as he helplessly stared at the young child in front of him. One of his so-called 'Troublemakers' within his class. 

Before him, stood a little boy with spiky silver hair. He had a blue scarf around his neck, pulled up to cover his mouth. 

This was Yuki Aoi, the man who fought the Pokemon scalper for four days and nights in his previous life. 

J-Just believe him. Don't look at the 1st chapter. 

Anyway, now reincarnated and equipped with the character card of 'Toge Inumaki', Yuki spent his new life with… some difficulties at first. 

Waking up as a baby again. He could handle that. 

Being breast-fed by his supposed 'mother' in this life. Uncomfortable at first, but he can handle that. Every child was fed by their mother this way, so no worries. 

But being diaper changed, stripped of his clothing to shower, and witnessing his supposed parents making lovey dovey eyes at each other or at him.

It was torture! Ugh, he had to grow through this in his baby years! 

He couldn't understand how the other reincarnators can even handle this. One day being an adult, then the next reliving your baby years with the mindset of an adult!

Nah, that's crazy work! Yuki now respects all the other reincarnation who had to go through the same experience as he did! 

But at least now, in his Elementary School days, things are progressively becoming more normal. 

In the classroom, Yuki stared at his sensei with his whittle hands in his pockets, his big adorable brown eyes having the most innocent of auras in them. 

Ryuto stared back with a doubtful expression.

He sighed, "Alright. Just… be good. Okay, Yuki."

Yuki stood up straight. Giving the most noble salute that a child his age can do. "No worries, Sensei. I promise to do my best!" and with that, Yuki waddled away in the sleekest shoes that were equivalent of the Japanese versions of the Jordans. 

Ryuto shook his head. He turned back to his desk, before his head swung back towards the door. 

"What do you mean your best?!"

"What to do. What to do." Yuki wandered around the noisy playground. 

Everywhere around him, many children ran around to play. They came in many different shapes and sizes, due to their quirks. 

"Yo. Manga-Manga. Good morning!" Yuki waved to a kid who was passing by him. 

The kid, whose head was a manga book, paused to turn to him. His head opens up to reveal a page with a comment bubble on it. 

"Hey, Yuki." he replied through the page, making his way to the swings. 

Yuki sighed. Good kid, good kid. 

Unfortunately in this world, there were kids similar to him who had their appearance changed permanently once their quirk activated. 

Yuki shrugged. Nothing he could do. 

And then amidst the laughter, a crying voice whimpered out. 

Yuki looked over. His eyes gained a glint in them. 

"That's mean, Kacchan." a green haired kid was practically in tears, standing protectively in front of his classmate, who was being bullied. 

The bullied kid looked up from the ground with his own tears about to pour out. 

Izuku was hesitant, scared himself, but still stood in his friend's way. "Y-You're being too rough. Can't you see that he's crying?"

Three kids stood in front of him. 

Ah yes, umm… Dragon Wing, The Finger, and… the one who was scowling as if somebody owed him money was Izuku Midoriya's childfriend, Katsuki Bakugo. 

Katsuki sneered, leading the front with the other two standing behind him. 

Yuki rubbed his chin with a sly smirk, slowly making his way towards them. 

"Typical villain behavior." Yuki muttered. The glint in his eyes only grew stronger when the system decided to perk up.

"I mean… I was given a mission. I can't possibly ignore it…" 

"Get out of the way, Deku." Katsuki had a vein popping up from his forehead. He was just having fun, and then this loser decided to show up. 

His chest heaved up and down. Who does this quirkless loser think he is? Does he think he's some kind of hero?!

Katsuki gave a menacing glare. He slowly lifted his hands and knocked a fist into his open pal, resulting in a loud, but small explosion erupting.

The other two behind him just smiled. Their quirks manifested into reality. 

The short, rounded belly one, grew dragon wings on his back, and the other had a creepy smirk on his face as his fingers started to extend. 

"... Ah…" tears coming out, Izuku once again looked behind him.

His classmate was staring in horror at Katsuki, shaking just as bad as he was. 

"I… have to protect!" Izuku, scared of his wits, stood tremblingly. Raising his hands to form fists. 

Seeing Izuku, standing up to him, made Katsuki even more angry. "Get him!" Katsuki and his two pals ran forward with vicious smiles.

Izuku flinched.

But right before they could even lay their hands on Izuku, a voice appeared. 

"{Don't move...}." 

Katsuki, Tsubasa, and Kirito's eyes widened, as their bodies froze mid-step. 

"Huh?" Izuku turned, crying out with gratitude. "Yuki!"

Yuki strolled towards them, showing a peace sign, a wink, with his tongue sticking out. "Yo, Izuku, Kaito." 

Whistling a cheery tune, Yuki paused right in front of the bullies with a smirk. Lifting up his scarf to cover his mouth again. 

Yuki… Inside, Katsuki was growling like a mad dog while Tsubasa and Kirito were gulping on the inside.

Oh no, the class' bully, Yuki Aoi, noticed them today!

Of course, if Yuki were to hear their voices, he would have complained like crazy! He was the bully when they literally bullied just about anybody they could get their grubby little hands on, here at school, each day. 

He was a good boy, both in his last life and current life now. 

Yuki rolled his eyes, already sensing the hatred in Katsuki's eyes. "Listen here, you little exploding goblin. How could you have so much hate as a kid?" with a dozen complaints stacking up in his mind, he just snapped his fingers. 

"{Move again}." the hypnotic voice sounded out. 

"Tch." once gaining the ability to move again, instead of charging forward, Katsuki remained in his spot, rolling his shoulders with a grunt. 

Tsubasa and Kirito glanced at each other. Their quirks retracting back. 

Behind Katsuki, they both stood back with wry smiles. 

Yuki glanced at them with interest, "Don't worry you two, I won't do anything bad to ya." 

"... You liar." Tsubasa whined. 

Beside him, Kirito looked up hopefully. "You aren't?"

Katsuki and Tsubasa slapped their heads. 

"Lol, no. {You two, get me your lunch money…}." Yuki activated his quirk without a delay. 

Katsuki, Izuku, and Kaito's lips twitched as the two bursts into tears, like the pair of apples they were, and ran back to the classroom to get their snack money their family gave them for school today.

"Um…" Izuku was about to say something.

He flinched under Yuki's gaze. 

"Ah, nevermind. T-Thanks for rescuing us." Izuku ran down to pick up Kaito. 

Kaito was pulled up, and then the two paused. 

In sync, they turned to Katsuki, lowered their heads, a sad clap resonating with their hands, standing up, the two looked at each other before running away. 

Katsuki looked on with disbelief. He shook a fist in the air. "Cowards!"

Sighing, he turned to Yuki who was staring at him with amusement. 

"Oh. Not going to blast me into a million, gazillion pieces?" Yuki asked with a friendly smile. 

Katsuki's lips curved downwards. The last time he attempted that, Yuki made him trip 3 times, each day in just a single week. 

In their friend group, Katsuki was the first to gain his quirk, then followed by Tsubasa and Kirito. Although their quirks were okay, his own was more awesome and so cool!

What followed was him ruling the classroom too, everybody had to listen to him, or he'll just throw an explosion in their face. 

It continued on until his classmate, Yuki Aoi, awakened his quirk, and that was when Katsuki realized that life wasn't fair!

People have no choice, but to listen and do whatever Yuki says, this was because his quirk allowed him to! 

That's so not fair!

"You ready for your funeral." Yuki grinned. 

Katsuki's fists shook. He knew what was coming, but… jokes on Yuki! He was prepared! In his backpack was a bunch of underwear which he secretly put when his mom wasn't looking. 

"Do your worst." Katsuki growled. 

Yuki looked at him with an appreciative glance. "Aight. Bet. One, two three, {When I count to 4, I command thee to shit in-}." his speech was interrupted as a karate chop landed on his head. 

"Hey. Stop it. That is so not cute at all." behind him, a girl shorter than both Katsuki and Yuki appeared. 

The girl had an almost doll-like appearance. Her hair was tied into two twin-tails. She was wearing a little dress, small red shoes and a heart shaped bracelet on her right wrist. 

Yuki stared, annoyed at his clone.

Yup, the person right before him was one of the many characters he acquired, Momo Nishimiya, she, or rather he, or himself? Anyway, Yuki was still getting used to this whole clone thing. 

Yuki gestured to Katsuki with a whining look. 

Momo responded back with a roll of her eyes. 

Yuki: ("Come on. Just let me do it.")

Momo: ("You're not the one whose family is going over to his house for lunch later. Besides, I'm tired of smelling him poo his pants like an idiot.")

Yuki: ("Party pooper.")

Momo: ("Bro. I'm literally you and you are me, shut up.")

As the two were mentally conversing with each other, Katsuki stared at this scene with annoyance. 

A scowl rose from his face. An odd feeling emerged, not liking the way Momo and Yuki were staring into each other's eyes like that. 

"Whatever!" Katsuki cried out in anger, breaking the link between the two. 

He walked up, knocking his shoulder against Yuki, who took a couple of steps back from the hit, and went to grab Momo's hand. 

Katsuki pulled Momo away from Yuki and into the distance, staring at her with a scowl. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop talking to that guy!"

Momo blinked, wondering what the twerp was angry about now. 

"And… And if you really want to talk to someone, then talk to me! Nobody else! Not Tsubasa, not Deku, not Kirito and especially not Yuki!" Katsuki barked. 

Momo's lips twitched. What was this exploding autistic guy trying to say? She simply reached her hand out and pinched his cheek.

Katsuki swung his head to the side with a grunt. 

"Stop yelling. That's so not cute."

"Tch! As if you can tell me what to do, short-! Ah! Stop pinching me!" 

Yuki blinked oddly as he wondered what Katsuki was getting so pissed about. 

As for how he knew Katsuki through his clone, that was because he and Momo were apparently neighbors. 

You could even say that besides Izuku, Momo also grew up alongside Katsuki as well. 

To test the System's functions, he did swap with the other body every now and then, before returning into Toge Inumaki's body at the end of the day. 

"Here's our money." 

Yuki stared aside as Tsubasa and Kirito returned with helpless expressions. 

Snatching the money, Yuki pocketed it wisely.

Seeing how content Yuki was, Tsubasa hesitated. "Can we go now?"

Yuki blinked at the question. 

He then swiftly jumped back, pulling down his scarf to reveal the snake eyes on his cheeks. 

Opening his mouth to reveal the fangs on his tongue, Yuki squinted his eyes in enjoyment. 

"{Shit yourself!}."

After this voice ranged out, two loud farts were made as a stinky smell drifted in the playground. 

Yuki's laughter along with two cries filled the air. 

"..." Ryuto, who came out of the classroom to check on the kids during their recess, was silent as he saw the scene. 

He arrived just in time as he witnessed Yuki using his quirk on the two students. 

A tick mark then appeared on his head. 

"Yuki Aooooi!" 

"Oh crap, busted! Hey, Sensei, wait! It was self defense, yo!"

"No it wasn't! I saw the whole th- Get back here!"

And so, the rest of the students watched in amusement as a teacher was chasing after a madly giggling child.
