Multiverse Heroism as Reinhard van Astrea

It had been a few days now since Momo and I had first been betrothed. As much as the attitude her parents had sickens me, I can deny that I didn benefit majorly.

Besides, I can once more confirm that Momo is absolutely adorable, having woken up to her quietly murmuring to herself that shes a woman now with a husband before squealing in what can only be a mix of excitement and joy. Honestly, Id say shes a bigger fan of it than me, which is surprising considering I literally spoke to her family once and thats it.

Anyways, as I said, it had been a few days and there was around a week left until the new term at UA officially started, with the uniforms having already been sent in; Momo making sure to create several copies with her quirk so as to avoid possible issues.

On my end, there had been a slight bump in the road. I may have gathered too much attention on myself, because the Safuku had received a letter which Gillard had all to eagerly read out for him describing my need to come to UA today for further examination.

Which is why I now stand at the pearly gates once more, confused and slightly hesitant. My best guess is they are concerned about the level of power I wield, either that or the nature of it. I assume using the [Swordplay] was what coined the mistrust, because there aren many enhancement Quirks out there that turn the user into a walking natural disaster.

Oh well. Worst case scenario i get grilled for a while until ultimately being let out. I doubt they would ever want to kick me out based on suspicion, not only out of fear I may turn tail but also because they are enticed by what I can offer them. Heroics is a business as much as a profession, after all.

Can wait to find out.

I enter the gates and am met with a personal escort, an odd fellow who can seem to properly enunciate his words without growling and drooling. Poor guy was stuck with the Dog mutation quirk.

Anyways, he tells me that he will be taking me to the principals office so that he may personally question me about some of his concerns. As if it couldn get any more on the nose at this point.

Our walk is as much an escort as it is a tour, his words seem laced with honey and he seems keen on introducing me to as many UA spectacles as he can possibly list off. If I didn know any better, Id say he were advertising the school, which doesn make sense given Im already applying.

Though, along our stroll he mentions something about how UA has witnessed the evolution of Quirks throughout history and the birth of the Hero profession, which shifts my line of thinking to a question I didn know I wanted answered.

Reinhards powers come from his direct connection to the Will of The World, the Old Laguna, [Divine Protection of Divine Blessings] and [Divine Protection of The Sword Saint] specifically, with every other power being a derivative of [Divine Blessings].

That begs the question though. If there isn any Od Laguna in this world, no Will so to speak, where are my Divine Protections coming from? Mana is a universal quantity, but Divine Protections should be limited. My question is answered when the familiar sound of shattering is heard.

”You Already Know The Answer To That, Don You? ”

Well, theres my answer. The Shattering echoes once more, confirming that the God is gone, at least dome communing with me, but it still confirms my initial theory. It seems I have a patron God.

I would question their motives, but frankly it seems like something I wouldn possibly be capable of comprehending so I won try to understand what it is. Better not bite the hand that feeds you.

After that traumatising questionnaire, we finally reach Nezus office, and I am met with some unexpected guests.

♧◇♡♤

All Might and the detective, Tsukauchi. If I didn know any better Id assume they think Im related to All For One.

Oh ** they probably think Im related to All For One. Multiple abilities, unnatural power and emerging after the death of the Tyrant, they must think Im the worlds worst sleeper agent or something.

I simply walk towards an empty seat and make sure to sit down as calmly as possible. After all, even if they did suspect me, thats all itll ever be. Suspicion, because truthfully theyll never actually get a Truth for that question.

After a few seconds of having sat and analyses everything he could gleam from my facial expressions, a moot effort given I possess the [Divine Protection of Calmness] allowing me to maintain a full sense of composure in any situation, Nezu finally greets me and introduces the two men. Then, the questioning begins.

”What is your Quirk? ”

”My power is called [Divine Blessings]. It grants me any power I wish for as long as I truly wish for it in that given moment. ”

It seems as if they weren expecting that response, because the slack jawed men in the room all collectively stall for a moment, as if overwhelmed by the power of such a Quirk and the multitude of applications it has. Then, Nezu and Skinny Might look over to the detective, who gives a shakey nod to either of them.

Thankfully, by calling my specifically saying Power over Quirk, I had managed to evade the Detective, mainly because it would be far, far more troublesome if I were exposed as being entirely Quirkless. Though, given the tradeoff, I suppose that doesn entirely matter.

Anyways, afterwards he plays a clip on the monitor he has on his wall, one specifically of the [Swordplay] and asks away once more.

”How did you manage to produce such an attack, such force with a single sword swing? ”

I simply glance at both him, and the detective as well as Skinny Might so as to not make them assume I already know the Detectives ability before calm responding with the most basic answer I can give.

”I am capable of charging up any of my attacks, at the cost of environmental damage and a small time commitment. ”

The detective, at this point still completely dumbfounded that all my answers have rung true this far blurts out in shock at my latest response.

”So you
e telling me you can pull that off at any time with just a couple of seconds wait? ”

”Well, the move is directly called the [Swordplay of the Astrea Family], so I would definitely need a sword for maximum efficiency. ”

”You have one with you right now though, one that admittedly should have been removed during screening. Why not use that? ”

”Well, this sword of mine, Reid, is quite picky. It only chooses to be used against worthy opponents, and has been passed down the Astrea family for generation upon generation. ”

The men in the room seem confused by how a sword could be capable of choosing opponents, but alas they move on with a smooth transition to their next concern.

”Speaking of the Astrea Bloodline, there is no such mention of it in any national databases, across the world. You didn exist until a few days ago when the Yaoyorozu family sent in your identification for a marriage certificate. ”

”Ah, apologies for that. I suppose I should have explained, my family lived in a small land that had long since been concealed by natural weather, a land by the name of Lugnica, our culture is very secluded however I was encouraged to be a Hero when I discovered my abilities. ”

None of what I have said is a lie. Lugnica is definitely a small land, concealed by natural weather phenomena in the form of the White Whale Mist and the Frozen Border of Gusteko, the secluded culture is a slight stretch but the Astrea family is quite elitist, and I certain didn lie about my encouragement to be a Hero. The Sword Saint is a national icon.

Im glad I can answer each and every one of these questions clearly thanks to the small mental box I have in my psyche that carries all of Reinhard Van Astreas memories, one that is would rather not delve into due to the abundance of abandonment issues and guilt.

Anyways, they seem content with my answers given that once more the detective confirms the truth of my statements. Im surprised they spent so long talking to eachother in a separate room afterwards but eventually they come in and tell me that I can leave and to enjoy my time before the term starts.

Hallelujah.

”Im telling you, Nezu, absolutely everything rung True. No matter how impossible it may seem, the kid didn lie a single time. He has a sword that chooses who to fight, can wish for whatever power he wants and furthermore is entrenched with the Yaoyorozu Dynasty. Hes abnormal. ”

”Abnormal may just be what we need. ” All Might proclaims with a hoarse voice.

”Times are changing. I cannot maintain the lifestyle of a Hero much longer, and because of it, those with nefarious intentions will grow. If we are given such a powerful young man, one bursting with potential who could easily be the greatest Hero in history, who are we to hold such suspicions? It would be a crime not to nurture that potential, that spirit. ”

It seems his speech has swayed the views of both men present in the room, willing to push aside the negligible doubt in their hearts and have faith in the Heroic spirit of this gem they have stumbled across. Though, that wouldn stop Nezu doing extensive investigations to find out where this Lugnica may be.

♧◇♡♤

Honestly, Im entirely shocked they didn ask a single thing about the murder of Yuga Aoyama. I assume they intended to, at the very least try get some information out of it, but no. They didn even bother.

Im not going to complain. After all, his death solved a problem which, while having been a short term solution, nonetheless stopped potential information about me being given to All For One in the near future.

As much as I have mixed feelings about them, the Yaoyorozus and specifically Momo can be used as weapons against me, something which I absolutely am sure he isn against doing to get what he wants, especially considering the marriage certificate is a public document, meaning he knows exactly where he might find me.

Sadly, however, he will soon come to realise that you don ** with a guy who can ask the world nicely and be resurrected for free. Wow that sounded way cooler in my head. Oh well, point still stands.

Either way, I can guarantee that his attention will be on me firmly after the USJ incident. I can just sit around and have everything go to shit there when I have the power to make sure it doesn . So, what will I do after that event? Ensure their safety. No matter the cost.

A few days later and several warm snuggles later, myself and Momo, decked out in official UA uniform are driven to the academy by Gillard, who once again seemed very happy to see Momo in such high spirits.

One issue with my uniform is that I still have Reid attached to my hip. I literally cannot get rid of it, if I leave it in another room it will just magically appear around my waist. Probably insurance by the Divine Dragon so that it wouldn be stolen in the future.

That, however, is not an immediate main concern. The first day of UA has come, and with it so to shall begin my journey into Heroism. I just hope I don discourage the others too much with my power.
