CHAPTER START---
Standing outside the support course design building Horizon is watching a video on his phone, having the audio played directly into his visor.
Not bothering to put on his uniform since it's Sunday he has his body glove and visor on. The boots from his Hero Costu. A pair of blue pants and a white t-shirt with his logo on the front in blue. And a white and blue hoodie with his logo on the back.
His Hero Costu case was in his hand along with his sword as he focuses on his phone, watching the sa videos that has been circulating all day about the Hero Killer Stain. Exploring his past, motivation, and ideology.
"So do you own anything that isn't blue and white?" Power Loader asks as he walks up to Horizon. "Or that doesn't have your logo on it..."
"No," Horizon says as he puts his phone away, holding his Hero Costu case in his right hand and his sword in the left.
Power Loader nods for Horizon to follow him as they enter the building. "I hope you aren't a fan of that Stain guy," he says, overheating the video earlier and knowing what it was.
"He's a moron."
"Worse, he's a madman. Anyway about your request, it's not the first ti we got a request for sothing like this, but without a Quirk that powers it the allocated budget for students just doesn't cover it, not to ntion the legality of it."
"I figured Nezu wouldn't mind."
"He doesn't, only because it's you. He's not very subtle about that, even increased the allocated budget to your support equipnt to compensate."
"Well it makes sense, I'm Horizon, it'll be worth it."
"Humility goes a long way kid."
"Not my style, anyway are you sure whoever he assigned to this project can actually do it? I was kind of hoping you'd make my equipnt, as you did before UA."
"No can do," Power Loader says. "Having the Hero and Support courses work together like this is essential for developnt. But with that being said, before anything is handed over to our students for use it has to get approved by first."
"And i got approved?"
"More often than not, she's a real genius when it cos to chanical engineering. And she's not afraid to fail, that's important in learning. It's only been five weeks and she's already made twenty items. Not to ntion she learns so fast that she's lightyears ahead of the previous top genius at this ti in their school life."
Horizon looks down at Power Loader and raises a brow, "wasn't the top genius you?"
"Until her, yeah it was. But you know what they say, the rookies will tell you when it's ti to quit..."
Arriving in front of a massive door Power Loader slides it open for them to see i sitting on the floor putting together so machine parts.
i Hatsu was a short girl with pink dreadlocks, only 157cm tall -5ft2-, currently wearing her uniform skirt under so coveralls that were tied off at her hips. And a black tank top covering her large chest.
"i!" Power Loader has to raise his voice to snap her out of her own little world.
Seeing Horizon she imdiately hops up to her feet and rushes over, "hey mister famous, welco to my lab!" i gestures to the workshop behind her.
Filled with her projects and tinkering, parts and pieces on desks and shelves along the walls. There were even a few suits of armor hanging from the ceiling on chains, a full mad inventors workshop.
"Well, I'll leave before sothing explodes," Power Loader says before rushing off.
"Uh, do things explode a lot with you?" Horizon asks, looking directly down at Mie who was staring up at him with those yellow crosshair pupils in her eyes. Since she's only an inch taller than Jiro she just barely reaches the middle of his chest, making him seem that much more imposing.
"Things explode sotis, that's life. Don't worry nothing I have planned for you will do that."
"I hope not, so, how do we start?"
"Follow !" i turns around and stiffly marches off.
'So normal people are rare in UA...' Horizon thinks.
He follows her over to a separate desk at the back of her lab that has a large tal case atop it. i opens the case to reveal his requested Support Item.
A tal device appears similar to a skateboard. Roughly 1 ter long and 25cm-10in- wide, but it was three inches thick, appearing like a slab of tal. Colored white with blue accents, and Horizon's logo at the top of it.
"Pick it up," i says.
"A bit heavy," Horizon says as he lifts it up, placing his case and sword down on the desk beforehand.
"50lbs, but it expands when powered up...hopefully, and gets a bit flatter. This is the compact form for transporting it."
Turning it to see the underside there are two large circles, at a glance he couldn't understand what they are or how they worked. His focus is on biology not technology after all.
"Repulsor lifts," i says. "They push against gravity to keep you in the air, it's the sa tech the military uses for those fancy jets in Arica, but the civilian version. Because of that plus the power system it needs this baby costs more than the entire budget allocation to three other students put together, and you've still got room for more stuff. It's rare for anyone to ever even max out their budget considering Principal Nezu funds it."
"Is it really that big?"
i chuckles, "let's just say before we had that invention contest to decide who'd get to work with you...things got a bit..punchy."
"Were you winning?"
"I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway, I'm making your stuff now, that's all that matters."
"Fair enough, so about the hoverboard, specs?"
"When we get the power conduit...you should be able to match or move faster than any comrcial plane, should be fun. And it can support four hundred pounds of weight."
"That's good, doubt I'll have any passengers but it's good to be prepared."
"Yup," i gives him a beaming smile, excited to see this invention co to life. "So, whatcha gonna na this baby?"
"What?"
"Well, every student nas their equipnt, like the Yaoyoletard, or the Uragautlets, that kinda thing."
"That's stupid."
"What about your sword?"
"Scalpel, but swords aren't clothes."
"Neither is a hoverboard."
"It doesn't need a na, Momo should be here in a few minutes, anything else I need to know."
"Yeah, you'll need these to stay on it," she fishes around to find a pair of boots just like his current set, but they felt slightly heavier.
"Magnetic?"
"The soles are a special material that the repulsor will pull toward the top of the board, that way you don't fall off at 600mph -965kmph-, that'd get ssy."
"The Gs would kill before that," he says. "My body can't handle that kind of strain, I can heal but that's only for so long. I'm not going that fast."
"Really? I thought you had Super-Strength or sothing."
"What? No."
"Well I an, you said your Quirk can virtually do anything so everyone kind of assud you'd have that," i shrugs. "But then again you talked so big but now we know you can't even fly..."
Horizon sighs, "I swear you people all act like everyone else in the world can fly, not being able to fly is normal."
"Sorry."
"Whatever, just tell how to operate this hoverboard."
"Sure, it's super intuitive, you just have to..."
---5 Minutes later...
"Ok, anything else?" Horizon asks as she finishes explaining the details of his hoverboard.
"A lot of stuff actually," i says excitedly, getting very close to Horizon, but unlike the usual students he doesn't back away, standing his ground as her chest presses against his abs and she stares up at him hungrily. "You're already super famous, so I wanna upgrade all your things so people will know my na too."
"So branding?"
"Sothing you clearly know about, but I'll also give real upgrades, I've already considered a few."
"So you're basically using as a model and billboard...Ok, let's hear them," she steps away and he leans back against the desk.
"First I was thinking of a new visor!"
"You can't change the look," he imdiately says. "I don't exactly have a face so I can't go changing the visor all the ti."
"Won't change anything about the look, but I saw the build for the current model, I bet with so ti and that big budget you got I can use compression tech on it."
"In what way?"
"Think of sothing about the size of your phone, then you put it at the back of your neck, and BOOM! It expands around your head into the visor."
"So I can always have it on ."
"Yup," i says. "That way if it breaks and you can't breathe you at least can have a spare or two. I can't imagine it feels good having to wear that visor as a life support item all the ti, this way you don't have to be worried about it breaking."
"That sounds perfect for ," Horizon says. "Anything else?"
"Retractable sword?"
"No." He gestures to his sword, "retractable swords are the first thing I researched, but the trade-off in durability isn't worth the portable nature of it, I need reliable things."
"That makes sense, I assud the durability wouldn't matter since your sword never actually touches anyone."
"It does when I want to do real damage."
"Mhm," i taps her chin a few tis as she considers what else there is. "Well, I guess all that's left are the body glove and Hero Costu. They were designed to be comfortable in a variety of natural temperatures but not much else, is there anything you want to add or adjust with it?"
"Actually...I've been ignoring equipnt for a while so since I'm here..."
