Chapter Text
Venti blinked his eyes open, no longer was he surrounded by the soothing noise of his children talking amongst one another “ What happened he thought to himself wearily” For as soon as opened his eyes fully, he was blasted by the smell of the salty air and the horrendous stench of trash piled miles high.
this was an interesting development perhaps the fatui had taken him to the ever so smelly beach as revenge, but alas what good would that do for them, he had given his gnosis there was simply no other reason for the endangerment of his people.
He slowly stood up wiping the sand of his viridian clothes it was hard to stand upright on the uneven sand, the wind assisted him around his sides keeping him steady from the hangover he was sure to have, once he was fully oriented he glanced around as a indicator for where he might be.
There was no beaches like this in Teyvat.
As a traveling bard with much more years experience that most might think at a glance this place was simply new to him, how odd. But the Glance did not seem to be unnecessary as he quickly spotted a sickly old man that looked like a gust of anemo may blow him over, standing parallel to the man was a young boy that could be mistaken for a bush at first glance.
What an odd duo he contemplated.
As the bush boys eyes wandered to the loud scuffling near the trash pile he was yet to clean he saw a strange person decked out in shades of green looking straight from the past, “h- hello” Izuku stuttered out he had gained mass recently and yet he was still to afraid to speak actual words without stuttering how was he going to give inspirational speeches as the new symbol of peace if he still sounded like Porky Pig from that pre era cartoon.
“Why hello there bush boy “ a cheery voice called out b-b-bush boy? Izuku stammered
His comment went ignored as All Might stepped in after hearing the commotion “ and who might you be young man “
As upon closer inspection he was indeed Izuku’s age perhaps younger and yet he strongly smelled of alcohol? Well that was kind of concerning.
For I am Venti the best bard in Monstadt he exclaimed in a joyous tone as he whipped out a strange looking instrument.
Bard? Monstadt? And what’s that strange looking instrument? izuku rapidly fired questions off at a frankly inhuman speed
Woah bush boy might want to slow down there there is always time left to talk or else the wind might carry of your thoughts the strange boy snickered,
Izuku flushed red with embarrassment had he really gone on another one of those silly rants he should learn to contain himself better
Before Venti could interrupt the self deprivation, a sickly cough did it for them.
Izuku ran to All Mights side to hand him a napkin before Venti could do anything
All might collected himself and spoke his on inquiry’s“Heh sorry about that young man but those questions young Midoriya brought up were true what are indeed the things you just described I have heard of bards and lyres from the pre quirk era but I have no recollection of what Monstadt is?
“Perhaps it’s a small German city” Izuku exclaimed it would make sense but if that was true why could the strange boy who’s name is apparently venti speak fluent Japanese?
Venti was surprised neither knew what Monstadt as it was one of the 7 regions of teyvat but he decided to play along because from what he could gather he no longer thought he was even in teyvat there were weird blocks that reached the sky, the people walking by the beach if you could even call it that were also dressed strangely unlike anything he had ever seen and as a traveling bard that explored all 4 corners of the world it was quite strange.
All this evidence of this weird place led him to another thought perhaps he had become outlander just like the traveler, and as crazy as that thought was it made sense the strange breeze of restriction he felt from the wind only added to this theory, but before he could confirm this he should find out more information on this unique new world he had dropped into.
“ Indeed I am from the place you call Germany “ Venti exclaimed well humming a tune. He wasn’t fond of lying but unfortunately it came with his rather important role.
“Oh guess I was right” izuku thought to himself that would explain the foreign clothing and the alcohol scent but he speaks fluent Japanese maybe his parents were from here? This indeed would explain his lack of a accent
“ I guess you could say my parents are from here” it wasn’t technically a lie, time was everywhere indeed”
Before Izuku even had time to belittle himself for muttering again , All might spoke up once more “ Are you perhaps a foreign exchange trying out for UA ,the entrance exams are in 2 weeks after all!?”
”UA what’s that” Venti asked looking positively confused.
”You don’t know what UA is” Izuku asked looking flabbergasted
It is one of the best Hero’s schools in the world!?
Venti neither knew what UA was or what a hero school is maybe like the akademyia? it seemed his theory of a different world was true if UA was as famous as the bush Said. he should try to find out more information,ever since the Fatui struck Monstadt it seemed the other regions have been robbed of their Gnosis’es as well. he should try to get back to his people before another event like albedos occurs.
Venti took this opportunity to learn about this world “ it seems my Brain has forgotten care to enlighten me bush boy? Venti asked with a light smile
The way bush boys eyes shone with excitement Said all he needed to know.
This resulted in a hour and half rant about hero society, quirk theory, modern education, UA, modern Society, and the past and present of quirks as well as obscene facts of someone called Y’all might?
It was indeed a lot to take in but the way Bush Boy who was apparently called Midoriya, eyes shone every time Venti showed just a little bit of Interest was worth all the numbness in his legs for sitting so long, as the rant ventured into quirks Venti’s eyes went wide imagining 80 percent of the population with a vision thats just not something he thought could ever exist and as cool and interesting hero society was it seemed extremely restrictive much to his disdain.
The ban of public quirk use felt so strict he believed everyone should be able to be free and banning something your born with did not seem like the right idea not to mention how incredibly toxic society seemed when it came to “ villainous” and quirklessness and if bush boys eyes dimmed when talking about the subject that’s no business but his own.
By the very end of the rant, bush boys face went a bright shade of red “ sorry I got carried away again didn’t I “ he laughed awkwardly as his hand went to rub the back of his neck.
“ I quite enjoyed it words are indeed a from of poetry after all” Venti said with a small smile and a mischievous glint in his eyes
“All mi- I MEAN TOSHINORI mentioned you could be a foreign exchange student are you really going to try out for UA “ bush boy said awkwardly well trying to avoid eye contact.
“Who knows only the breeze will tell” Venti Hummed
W-well if you are than I’ll m-make -sure to get so w-we can be classmates.. Bush boy announced semi-confidently
Venti only chuckled and announced “ I look forward to it now I think all this talk deserves a song don’t you think”
Izuku nodded and together they listened to the waves crash, as Venti pulled out his lyre and played a greatly soothing sound that could tame even wild beasts.
As the night went by even though Toshinori didn’t want to interrupt the beautiful noises coming from the instrument it was time to go and he really didn’t want to face Inkos wrath
As the odd duo picked themselves up from the sand some what unwilling and announced they were leaving
Venti decided it was too time to leave, he picked up his lyre and went to find a place to sleep and hopefully enjoy some money from a street performance the faster he could get back to his children the better as Monstadt have gone into chaos recently and he really didn’t want to miss the Windbloom festival also didn’t Bush Boy mention the smartest creature in the world was at UA that seemed like the fastest way to get back
I guess the wind did answer and now He had a new adventure in mind hopefully they would meet again soon but as mother said only time will tell, with that he walked of the beach.
