The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

I cracked open my eyes and saw that the room was already lit up with sunlight. I immediately got up and looked below the bed and found a lot of coins and some other small pieces of iron. I released a big sigh... I was finally able to calm down. Yesterday wasn't a dream, I have finally awakened my Quirk. ​​

From the movie X-Men First Class, I remember that Eric found it much harder to control the metals around him when he was young but I don't. I can already bend, rip, and strengthen the metal pieces. The iron pieces and the coins already rose up in the air and started to revolve around my body. I was somehow able to drag my body towards the toilet, if I am late then I will have to do with cold food, and I don't want that.

Yesterday was awesome if you ask me, dad brought a lot of stuff yesterday for our little party. I didn't care for whatever he brought, we celebrated together, which is more important than anything else. My mom also went out of her way and cooked all the best food she knew about with all the best ingredients she could get her hands on.

After getting completely freshened up and dressed in clean clothes I reached the kitchen and saw that mom was cooking breakfast while humming. The coins were still revolving around my body. I ain't doing this just for fun, I remember the shield Eric made in the movie X-Men Apocalypse, so I wanted to make something like that. My mom and dad think that I am just playing and honestly, I didn't bother to correct them, I don't want to tell them that I have other memories in my head due to which I know this is an anime world.

"Good morning, mom. Food smells awesome!!" I said in an excited tone and I climbed the chair. I demand equality... I should have stairs beside this chair so I can climb easily.

"Reo-kun, you are awake? Are you really that excited to meet the Yaoyorozu family?" my mom asked me with a smile on her face. Shit... I forgot that Mr. & Mrs. Yaoyorozu wanted to meet me, which means I might be meeting with their daughter too.

"No, mom. I was just excited to play with my powers" I told her honestly with an innocent expression on my face. Honestly, I don't care about meeting them, many would argue that I can't miss a chance to meet Momo Yaoyorozu because she is a future bombshell but seriously I ain't a pedophile.

I might be a kid now, but I am pretty sure that I was a grown-up in my past life even though I don't remember anything about it. I might give it chance when she gets all those insane curves that she showed off by wearing her skimpy superhero costume but until that happens she is going to stay as a friend maybe a best friend and that will only happen if she doesn't treat me like the kid of her servant.

I am more interested in R-Rated Pro Hero Midnight, Nemuri Kayama. When she shows up for the first time in the anime she is 30 years old. Yesh... mature women are the best!! I wonder if I could get an Ara~ Ara~ Onee-chan. There is still a lot of time to think about all theses stuff. Like when finally my lil bro finally stands up.

"You can play with your powers all you want but you must not push yourself too hard or you will be forbidden from using your powers" my mom said with a stern face. Don't worry mom I won't do that... at least not knowingly.

We continued to have our small chat while mom continued her cooking. Dad finally decided to join us, he is always late at the food table. Mom calls those bad manners, I have to take her up on that since I don't remember manners from my past life.

Soon the food was served and my mom asked me to place all those coins and metal pieces aside since I will be eating food now. I immediately followed her command, because in our small house my mom wore the pants and dad was head of the house only when we were outside. I quickly dug in... ahhh, her food always gives me so much warmth.

After breakfast dad left, we bid him farewell while I resumed playing with coins again. Only now I noticed that I was wearing new clothes, I think these were special occasion clothes, Mom always kept these clothes aside, this must be because I was going to meet the Yaoyorozu family. My mom was also done with her breakfast. After that, both of us headed towards the main mansion where the Yaoyorozu family lived.

I have to say the rich people really have some class, the whole mansion was awesome, it represented the class in our society and I can easily say that the Yaoyorozus were one of the richest families in Japan. My mom led me straight to the kitchen.

"Wait here Reo-kun, I am going to see where Sir and Madam Yaoyorozu are. Don't touch anything" my mom said quickly and went inside.

I used my powers to put all the coins and small iron pieces in my pocket and looked around the room. Well, I have to say, this is really impressive, most of these kitchen appliances were excessively expensive. I didn't dare touch anything cause I don't wanna cause trouble for my mom and dad. I just gonna get out of here and continue testing my powers.

After a few minutes, my mom came back and pulled out a comb and combed my hair to be presentable but my hair has a mind of its own no matter how much you comb it will again return to its previous state. When my mom was finally happy with her combing skill, she pulled me through the house. "Reo-kun, be respectful to them" this was all she could say before we reached a big room, this was probably a meeting room or whatever rich people called it.

I saw three people on the couch, they looked really... RICH with a capital R. Thiers clothes, their style, their posture all screamed filthy rich. How the hell did I even know how what were the rich people standard? I blame my past life...

"Sir, Madam, and young miss, here meet my son Itsuki Reo" my mom greeted them and introduced me. I don't know what to do... we aren't in a kingdom so I don't think I should kneel or bow down. So I decided to just stand there... this was the best I could come up with at this exact moment and I was a 4 year old kid so I don't think that they could blame me for not knowing manners.

"Ai-san, he has really grown up... last time I saw him when he was only a baby" Mrs. Yaoyorozu spoke up. She looked really regal, with all those pieces of jewellery around her neck... it would give anyone else neck cramps.

I saw a glint pass her eyes, fuck... can she read minds? Nah... I don't think so. At least her eyes don't twinkle like a certain meddling old fool. From what my mom told me, she has a Quirk that lets her grade a Quirk. So that is why my mom spoke with my dad last night that she didn't want to lie to Mrs. Yaoyorozu.

"So what's your power kid?" finally Mr. Yaoyorozu spoke up with a gentle tone in his voice.

"Magnetokinesis, sir" I spoke up. I don't think that they would try to use me up in some nefarious plot but I ain't dropping my guard.

Hearing my Quirk's name Mr. Yaoyorozu was slightly surprised but Mrs. Yaoyorozu wasn't bothered. She already knew about my powers, I think she found out using her Quirk. Momo Yaoyorozu looked confused, I don't think a normal 4 years should know what Magnetokinesis is.

"Daddy, what is that?" Momo asked while pulling Mr. Yaoyorozu's sleeves.

Hearing his daughter's question brought him out of his daze. "It is a power which would let you control and manipulate metals... am I right?" Mr. Yaoyorozu asked me.

"Yes, sir" I spoke. I don't know what more to say or if I should add anything more.

"He is really polite, what do you say Toshima, should we arrange a private tutor for him along with our daughter?" Mrs. Yaoyorozu asked her husband.

"But madam... we can't afford a private tutor" my mom stuttered out. Really why do they even want to train me... oohhh I get it now. They want me to be a bodyguard for their daughter. This is the best I could think of. I have no problem doing that, after all, there is no free food in this world and private tutors were really expensive and Hero Schools were also like that. So, if i had to become her bodyguard so that I could get admitted to Hero School and get tutored then I would happily agree.

"Rubbish, Ai-san, you don't have to worry about money regarding this matter. Strong Quirk users are needed by our society and it would be a huge waste if your son can't receive proper training because of money" Mr. Yaoyorozu spoke up. I have to agree with him, no matter how much I know about Eric or Magneto, I could still use all the training I could get. It would be really beneficial if an expert trainer is there to help me.

I am completely fine being a bodyguard for their daughter and since we would be training together, we might become friends and friends protect each other. I think this is a reasonable deal if thought carefully. Just like I said before, nothing is free in this world.

"I would be really happy if you give this opportunity to my son" my mom bowed my head pulling me along with her. Mrs. Yaoyorozu immediately stopped her and pulled her in a hug.

"Ai, don't be stupid. You are working for my family since I passed high school. After I got married I brought you here with me" Mrs. Yaoyorozu said. I didn't know that, so my mom worked for Mrs. Yaoyorozu before she even got married.

"Don't worry Ai-san, from now on all of his academic expenses will be taken care of by the Yaoyorozu family. He should get all the facilities and services needed to nurture his powers" Lord Yaoyorozu said in a serious tone.

Tears were flowing from my mom's eyes and she immediately turned around and hugged me tightly. She must have been really worried because our family didn't have money to send me to a Hero School...
