The Cryptid of UA
There are rumours and stories going around UA. People talking in hush whispers and chatters about strange things that had happened to them, to someone they knew, or just someone they heard about. Regardless, all of the rumours have a set theme.
"There's a cryptid in UA."
It started when a Support boy bullied a Management student. The next day, the boy apologized to the other student. What was strange, however, was the haggard and scared look on the student's face.
The student would explain how someone or something had followed him yesterday after bullying the other student. He didn't see it coming, but the next thing he knew, he was upside down. There was a note telling him to apologize.
Soon, many other similar stories would circulate.
A GenEd student who threatened a Heroics student claimed their stuff keeps disappearing and reappearing in different places.
A student who spread rumours about another student found herself doused with orange paint when she opened her locker.
A student who discriminated others for their quirks found themselves in some sort of illusion where they lost their quirk and took twelve hours to be snapped out of it.
A student had their hero costume went missing after destroying another student's costume.
All of them have the same symbol appear before them. Be it from an illusion to their own items, even carvings on the furniture of their rooms.
It was a strange symbol. A red eye with strange black comma-like patterns or tomoes. Sometimes, depending on how bad your deed was, the symbol would be more intricate. They say the more complex the pattern, the scarier the consequence is.
There are those who claimed that the cryptid going around UA has strange silver hair, or is it fur? Others claimed they have caught sight of a blur of black/green and silver coming from the direction of where the symbol would be next seen or had been last seen.
It became so common and widely known fact, that if you do something bad, you better apologized sincerely, unless you wished to be visited by the cryptid they call the Red Eye.
Amajiki Tamaki knew people whispered behind his back. He knew they talked about how his quirk isn't 'hero material', how he's too anxious to be a real hero. He knew all of those and he was used to it. People talked behind his back since he was young, why was UA any different?
For one thing, the students seem afraid anyone would overhear them talking bad about him. No one picks on him actively at all. It was strange, and rather confusing behavior. That was until he met Red Eye.
It started when an overconfident student from his class had managed to get his group of friends to gang up on him the day after his doctor's appointment.
The students cornered him to an empty hall when the teachers where mostly in the faculty room. They taunted him, pushed him around, and made fun of him.
Tamaki couldn't fight back that time. His doctor had ordered him to not eat for twenty-four hours in order for the medicine given to help his stomach to work.
Tamaki had wished he stayed home back then. He was too weak, and the medicine had been making him nauseous. That's when it happened.
The students suddenly looked frightened. It was as if they were seeing something he can't see. Almost as if they snapped out of a trance, the ones who ganged up on him paled drastically and turned tails, screaming bloody murder.
A boy appeared and extended his hand for Tamaki to take. He looks like a ninja, what with his outfit and sheath sword. Tamaki instantly knew he was Red Eye, a bit surprised at how young he really is.
"T-thanks for t-that, R-Red Eye-san. M-my name is A-Amajiki T-Tamaki." Tamaki said, stuttering as he bowed to the boy in front of him.
"Maa, your cute." That statement was unexpected. "I'm Kamihara Kakashi, and I think I'm gonna keep you."
"Eh?! K-keep m-me?" Tamaki stuttered, confused at the declaration.
"That's right. From now on, Amajiki-kun shall be my new student." Kamihara said, looking at him with an expression that says he won't take no for an answer.
And that's how Amajiki Tamaki became Kakashi's first student of this world.
