Multiverse: Our Abilities Are Normal! Chapter 102 Nothing really changes (Patreon)

Gulp! 

"B-Big...!" 

When Sato moved previously, it seemed to cause his lower body, which he tried to hide well, to be exposed, but regardless, everyone knew that if they wanted to become the number one, they had to beat this young man first. 

"...." Sato. 

"Good job." Aizawa, who had calmed himself, just wrote down the record as he asked, "Stand on the side till everyone is finished." 

"Okay." 

Still, Sato didn't rest, but he moved continuously, trying to store kinetic energy inside his body for later use, as this was just the beginning of the Quirk Apprehension Test.

"Kinesis..." 

As Nezu murmured, Aizawa asked with a doubt, especially when he looked at the destruction caused by Sato's dash, "Is it such a frightening power?" 

"If we talk about the potential, he might be able to defeat All-Might." 

"...." Aizawa. 

Nezu's words might seem like an exaggeration, but since Sato didn't hide his ability, which made him able to absorb all the kinetic energy within his body, then all the physically related abilities were meaningless! 

Unless—

"Unless his body can't bear it, nothing will break his defense." 

In other words, Sato was a perfect tanker! 

The Vanguard. 

Still, Nezu looked in a certain direction. The young man, who appeared to be stunned and in a daze as Sato showed his power, sighed. Still, it had nothing to do with him since everything was that person's choice. As an animal that gained intelligence through its Quirk, its primary goal was self-protection. It sought to avoid its nightmare-like experiences, so it decided to invest in numerous heroes, and that way, its life was secured. 

Yet, as Midoriya was shocked, the one who gave this protagonist the power of One-For-All was also shocked. 

"A-Amazing..." 

All-Might was in a daze as he saw Sato's feat, and it was as if he had seen the young him. 

Handsome and powerful. 

When All-Might thought of his youth, he felt like Sato was like him, but... the dream, the one who received his baton was Midoriya, and because of that, while Midoriya wasn't someone that he had dreamed of, even so, he would still continue to trust Midoriya, as that day, when Midoriya stepped forward despite being Quirkless, was the reason why he felt that Midoriya had the qualities to become the symbol of peace. 

'Don't disappoint me, Midoriya-boy!' 

All-Might hoped that instead of making him down, Sato would become an existence that would make Midoriya become further stronger, becoming the number one hero that Midoriya had always told him to be, yet—

"I-I can do it!" 

As Midoriya made such a determination, the result was far from satisfactory. 

Sato excelled in everything, and he could control his Kinesis in ever more complicated ways, especially in ways that made him stronger, and frankly, except for his agility, which was the Sustained Sideways Jump, the rest, he was beyond everyone! 

"DAMMIT, I WILL DEFINITELY WIN!" 

Bakugou roared, but in the end, he could do nothing against Sato until—

"Bakugou, you go and do the pitch test first." 

Aizawa felt tired of Bakugou, so he thought to finish this guy first. "Use everything you have, including your Quirk." 

"Okay!" 

That's what he wanted, Bakugou thought, so after he snorted in Sato's direction, who was calm, it made him annoyed, but soon, he knew, he would make this guy flustered! 

As he stood on the spot for the test, he held the ball tightly before he threw it with all of his might as he used his Quirk, Explosion! 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" 

Along with the sound of the explosion and his roar, the ball shot beyond the distance that no one could imagine! 

"750.6 meters." 

"Geh!" Bakugou snorted, as if dissatisfied with his result, but the smirk on his face was clear as he looked at Sato with a provocative gaze. 

"......." Sato. 

What did he do? 

Shouldn't you just go after Midoriya instead of going after him? 

After all, no matter how strong Sato had become, he thought of himself as a side character, especially when he had never thought of becoming the number one. He was okay within the top 10, as it would definitely give him enough money. 

As for the number one hero, Sato felt like it wasn't important since, in his life, he felt that there should be more than being a hero. 

"Suzuki, go. You are next." 

"......." 

Yet, Aizawa wouldn't let him go, wishing for him to compete with Bakugou. 

"Go, Sato! Do your best!" 

Uraraka cheered him on! 

"....." 

Sato looked at Uraraka's plain, yet cute and beautiful face, for a moment before he took a deep breath. "Okay, then." He was thinking of only doing so-so, as his result was clear, and he knew that he would become the number one on this test, so even if he didn't give his all, Bakugou's result on the pitch test wouldn't change anything. 

Still, just as Uraraka had said to give his all, Sato thought to give his all. 

Damn, he was so simple! 

As he let out a helpless sigh, he stood at the spot, looking at the ball in his hand. 

"How far is his pitch?" 

"Do you think he will defeat Bakugou?" 

"I am sure!" 

"YOU BASTARD! I AM THE WINNER!" 

"If you want to dream, do it somewhere else, Bakugou." 

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU LOSER?!" 

"L-Loser?!" 

"STOP FIGHTING! 

Strangely enough, despite being noisy, Bakugou fitted well along with everyone, unlike a certain someone, who just clenched his fists helplessly as he could only look at everyone with longing. 

No, to look at Bakugou with longing before he looked at Sato, who was on the stage. 

'I-I will definitely become the number one hero!' 

Yet—

Crack! 

Once again, as if there was an earthquake, Sato, who had no more tests, gave his all on this pitch test, and used another technique, which was—

"Ottoman Canon!" 

The wind, the space, and everything seemed like being squeezed by something, and everyone had a hard time breathing, yet even so, no one could look away as the ball thrown by Sato tore away everything into the sky! 

"1,000 meters.... 1,200 meters... 3,776 meters..." 

As Aizawa kept reporting the numbers of Sato's result, everyone was at a loss, in a daze, yet they knew the one with the highest potential in this class was Sato. 

Still, this was normal as everyone knew that he was so powerful, but for those who still had an ambition to become the number one, they felt that their hearts were heavy as they realized there was someone, who was better than them, and... they might not be able to reach him in this life, yet—

'It's time.' 

Sato looked at Midoriya, feeling curious, wondering whether the change of plot would make him better, but—

Plop! 

As the ball plopped at 20 meters of distance, Midoriya showed a shocked expression, yet Sato sighed, thinking that nothing had changed, and frankly, instead of Midoriya, he couldn't help but look at Aizawa and Nezu, wishing to get their Quirks as soon as possible.
