Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Manipulation
"This training is about a scenario where the villains have a nuclear bomb and a hero team that tries to defuse the situation without having the bomb activate."
Everyone quickly starts speaking among themself before All Might shut them down. Calling Coby up, All Might present a box with balls inside.
"Young Coby! Pick a random ball from the slot of the box." Coby nods with a smile, and he puts his hand inside the box. Activating his observation haki, he finds a ball with the name Momo on it.
Pulling the ball out, everyone watches in silence before Coby turns around and presents the name with a smile.
"Momo is my partner." Momo opens her eyes in surprise before a smile makes its way to her face. She felt relieved that she got him as a teammate and not an opponent.
Coby makes his way over to her, and he shakes her hand gently, feeling the soft and smooth skin below his own.
'I can feel her emotions, her hopes and what she is thinking. I can manipulate her so easily if I want to~' Coby thinks to himself, keeping his thought behind a mask of a pure smile.
"It's nice to meet you Momo, I know that I introduced myself already, but it feels better to do it face to face." Interrupting Momo before she can speak, Coby introduces himself with a bright smile.
'Her emotion fluctuated from surprise to appreciation. She liked what I said.' Coby thought in his head, noticing the glint of appreciation in her eyes.
"It's alright. I want to introduce myself. My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, and my quirk is called Creation. It allows me to create inanimate objects with the fat stored in my body." Momo introduced herself.
'She feels like she can trust me and that someone as good-natured as me would not do anything to her. She is right, but it is kind of quick to come to that conclusion.' Coby thought with a little bit of surprise.
Sensing her emotions, Coby replied with a well-placed attitude and words.
"Awesome, so can you create laser guns? That's such a cool quirk!" Momo suddenly blushes as Coby holds her hand, with his eyes shining brightly, seemingly interested in her quirk.
"O-oh, I have not managed to create something like that yet. I need to know the structure of the object I am creating." Momo replied with a blush, her eyes averted as she felt her heart race.
'I have never been in this much of a contact with a boy before!' Momo felt her mind start to race as she felt the heat of Coby's hand, but to her surprise, she did not hate it.
Coby sensed Hagakure's emotions from a distance, and he let go of Momo's hand with a smile. Hagakure felt sad and a little angry at seeing him so close to another girl.
'What is he doing?! Holding hands with another girl other than me like that!' Hagakure did not hide the emotions on her face since she was invisible anyway.
"Alright! Since everyone has chosen a partner, I will now set you 8up with a villain and a hero team!" All Might shouted, interrupting Coby right as he was about to talk.
Turning around, Coby watched as the teams got selected by All Mihgt, and surprisingly, the team that he and Momo were chosen for was the Villain team.
"Mokmo and Coby is the villain team. Against the hero, the team made up of Denki and Mashiro Ojiro! Team Villain, go and secure your bombs!" Coby smirked as he winked at Momo, he entered the building, followed by Momo.
Feeling her racing heart, Coby calms himself down a little bit so she can take what he is doing in. They soon reach the bomb and get in position.
"Momo, You should stay and guard the bomb. But before I go, I have some suggestions for your quirk usage." Coby says as he goes and starts whispering into Momo's ears.
Momo felt her eyes get dazed as she felt Coby's breath on her ears and her neck. A shiver went down her back at the heat and the close proximity.
"Denki's quirk is kind of useless when in contact with rubber, so you should create rubber to fight him off." Momo nods her head, still dazed from the close distance.
"Alright, see you later, cutesy~" Coby whispered in Momo's ears. Being able to sense emotions and figure out what people are thinking gave him a huge advantage.
He is confident in things he could never do before getting observation Haki, especially as he was not confident before. Knowing what someone is thinking and being able to reply as you wish.
It made him much more confident and also allowed him to truly start showing what he thinks in his mind.
"I will go and take care of Ojiro." Momo nodded her head, and she turned around to open her chest area. Her chest started glowing, and a metal bat with rubber surrounding it was created.
Coby turned around and started to go down the building. His observation is Haki locking Ojiro and Denki.
Denki made his way down, passing by Denki so he did not see him. Vanishing before Denki could see him, he turned a corner and waited for him to go up a floor.
"Ok, he's gone." Coby did that on purpose if Momo fought Denki, and he so managed to arrive just as a huge electrical attack was thrown at Momo. She would be thankful.
Boom!
He exploded in a burst of speed, crushing the ground under him, falling through the floors and reaching Ojiro in seconds.
"Huh? Oh no!" Ojiro screamed as a fist appeared in front of his eyes. It was slow-mo until it hit him, sending his body flying into a wall and cracking it.
"Oh! It seems like young Ojiro has been eliminated by young Coby! Leaving only young Denki and young Momo!" All Might screamed as they watched the battle unfold on the screen.
Back inside the building, Denki made his way up the stairs, soon reaching a room where the door was tightly locked. He opened it, and in front of his face emerged a bat.
Bang!
Denki blocked it with his arms, getting thrown back from the pain and the force. Gritting his teeth, he sent a jolt of electricity at Momo. The electricity was too quick for Momo.
"Not quite!" Before the electricity could hit Momo, Coby appears in front of her, blocking the electricity with his bear-hardened hand.
Boom!
"Ugh!" Denki coughed up spit as a fist hit his stomach. Knocking him out in an instant and sending him rolling on the ground.
Momo let out a sigh of relief as she walked towards Coby. Turning around, Coby sensed her thoughts and emotions, and he smirked.
"Good job for holding him back. Couldn't have done it without you!" Coby felt that she was a little dejected and also had thoughts of being useless in the test.
He can't have her thinking she is useless, so a quick compliment for her and from him is enough to stop her from having negative emotions and thoughts.
"Thank you, Coby, but it doesn't change the fact that you did amazing." Momo smiled, her eyes locked with Coby's silver eyes. She felt her heart race at her compliment.
"No worries." Coby smiled.
