Synopsis
“The strongest power… is the one no one knows about.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ray Thunderstrike has always kept to himself. With a quirk that blends light and dark energy, he learned early that it was easier to stay quiet… and hide what he could really do. But being quiet doesn’t make you invisible. And in a world full of heroes and exceptions, staying hidden only lasts for so long. As challenges start piling up and pressure builds, Ray begins to realize something. The power he’s hiding might be the only on thing that defines him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ BOOK COVER IN PROGRESS ⚠️ ⚠️ I’M NOT GOOD AT WRITING CHAPTERS FASTLY ⚠️ (ENGLISH ISN’T MY FIRST LANGUAGE! IT MAY BE BAD!)

Chapter 1 - Chapter One: First Day at U.A.

Ray stopped at the front gates to the high school.

Man, this is gonna be a long day.. He thought.

The gates opened and he walked in, staring right at the entrance of the school.

~Meanwhile class 1-A~

.

.

.

The class was a mess. Mina Ashido was doing a TikTok dance with Kyoko Jiro, Katsuki Bakugo was yelling at Izuku Midoriya.. once again.

And for the rest of the class.. too much to explain.

"Everyone, in your seats now." A voice called over the chaos. Everyone froze before frantically scrambled to their seats.

Their teacher, Aizawa, walked in. "We have a new student today. Be on your best behaviors." He said before walking out.

"HAH? A NEW STUDENT? THIS ONE BETTER NOT BE A WEAK—QUIRKLESS—EXTRA!" Bakugo yelled.

"Kacchan! Can you-" Midoriya INSTANTLY got cut off.

"NO YOU NERD!"

"As the class representative, we shall be on our best behavior to this new student!" Iida did his hand motion.

"…"

~Before going into the class~

Ray stared right outside of the door.

Class 1-A… His eyes darted the words, scanning each individual word before reaching his hand out to twist the doorknob.

Though, half of him wanted to stop. This doesn't feel right.. He thought, but shook his head to make the thought go away.

Inside, the class hears the doorknob twisting and instantly shutted up.

Ray walked in, and that's when Bakugo yelled, "HAH! A WEAKLING!"

"Bakubro! We don't know that for sure!" Kirishima whispered loudly.

Ray stared at them, not knowing what to do.

"So what's your name and quirk?" Uraraka asked.

"I'm.. Ray… Ray Thunderstrike.. and my quirk…" he trailed off.

"What's your quirk, you extra?!" Bakugo was sort of losing his patience.

Even with his yelling, Ray stayed calm. Quietly. "I would not like to share it.."

"Not? That's alright! You can sit next to me!" Midoriya smiled.

Ray looked at the seat next to the green-haired boy before slowly walking over.

"We have training today, so-"

"So what?! He's not gonna be able to do it anyway!" Bakugo smirked.

He really thinks I'm quirkless huh? Perfect.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya, by the way."

Ray nodded.

"Alright class, we have training now. Go." A voice interrupts.

The students all get up from their desks, Midoriya holds out his hand as a welcoming and hopefully a friendship (idk)

Ray flinched at the sudden voice, before getting up as well.

"Come on! Let's go. But how will you do training if…" Midoriya trailed off nervously.

Ray shook his head, "I never said I was quirkless."

"Oh! I'm so sorry for calling you that! I'm so sorry-"

"Breathe. You can't live without breathing properly."

"Yeah, right! Breathing.." he muttered, staring at his hands nervously.

They arrived at the training ground. This is huge. Ray thought.

"Today we are sparring. I will be pairing you guys up." Aizawa said.

Hm. Sparring. I wonder who my opponent will be.

"Firstly, Bakugo and Thunderstrike-"

"HAH?! THAT QUIRKLESS EXTRA? WHY NOT DEKU?" Bakugo yelled.

Aizawa continued, clearly ignoring his protest.

"Whatever! Get over here, you extra!"

Ray looked at the direction Bakugo was at.

Pretty darn far. He thought.

Ray walked over there. Fast-paced.

"Took you about time! Hurry up!"

Arrogance and being mad at everything will only slow him down.. He analyzed.

"You're quirkless! Why should you even train?! Ugh whatever." Bakugo rolled his eyes, then smirked, thinking he could just beat him.

He lunged forward, ready to blast him until Ray sidesteps the attack.

"What the- you think you're cool, hah?!" He said, stopping and turning to look at him.

"You were 0.25 seconds slow. That gave me enough time to dodge." Ray said, calmly.

Bakugo stopped, "WHAT?"

"Boosting up your blast was 0.25 seconds slow. Enough time to think and dodge."

"NO! THAT- I'M NOT SLOW!" Bakugo was trying to find words that made sense.

"Continue."

"Whatever! I'll show you.." he launched forward, hoping to get him this time.

"You're 0.9 seconds slow this time. Better, but put more speed into it." Ray said while Analyzing.

"HAH? SO YOU DO HAVE A QUIRK!" Bakugo shouted.

"I never said I was quirkless. I just said I didn't want to share my quirk."

I'm most likely not going to last long hiding this. He thought.

"ATTACK! HURRY UP!"

"I could and I would.. but no."

"WHY NOT?!" Bakugo yelled, losing his patience.

"Because my quirk is…. Too powerful."

"HAH? SO YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL WITH A "POWERFUL" QUIRK?!" Bakugo smirked.

"No."

"Kacchan! Aizawa-sensei told me to come over here and tell you that he needs to talk to you!" Midoriya rushed over.

"What could he possibly want from me this time?!" Bakugo rolled his eyes, his smirk fading away.

"I don't know-"

"Shut up, nerd!" He yelled, rolling his eyes and leaving.

Ray stared. At nothing basically.

"What are you looking at?" Midoriya looked at the direction where he was looking at.

"Who's…" he trailed off.

"Oh! Aizawa is our home-room teacher!"

"Oh."

"Also, what was that 0.2 something you said to him?"

Shit.

"That was nothing. Just… pure intelligence." Ray lied. He wasn't ready to reveal his quirk…. Yet.
