Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

First day as a Biology Teacher tomorrow - hopefully the kids will be able to read my handwriting.
Finished everything except Bio. Got to go to work now, but I'll try to work on it during the car pool. Please tell me if there is anything I should nerf or change.
Having spent a majority of his life taller and heavier than most adults, Daichi has some height issues. While he tries to not let it bother him, the fact that he needs to ride in the back of a pickup truck has led to numerous... problems. He typically wears tight fitting clothes and very large hoodies, but loves his large school uniform. He enjoys covering his head with a hoodie, mainly just to hide his monstrous visage. He went through a phase of not using any plant products, but has gotten over it. Everywhere he goes, he usually has some form of meat, usually as jerky. His deep, grumbling voice is made humorous by his infamous stuttering, a condition he despises. His skin has a hard, almost stone-like texture, but is still flesh.
Name: Daichi Nakai
Gender: Male (I-I think?)
Age: 15
Height: 229 cm
Weight: 169 kg
Personality: A loud, kind individual, Daichi is quick to stand up for others when no one else will. He refuses to back down when he is given a mission, and will hold himself to complete it. Usually, this meant getting groceries from the car, not arresting villains. While he tries not to show it, Daichi is terrified to have been accepted into Komei. He does his best to fit in with the crowd, but refuses to stand down if he sees bullying or some injustice. Due to his problems with internal injuries, Daichi has some health problems, particularly a shortness of breath. Because of his lack of... manhood, Daichi doesn't really feel anything special towards females. He is very self conscious about this deformity and his inability to conceive children, and he will try to hide it as much as possible. Due to his large frame, almost everything he owns is a much larger version of what it is supposed to be, and he is forced to act as carefully as he can around other people. Despite his loud mouthing, he means everything he says, and he cares about everyone and everything, filling the optimistic role nicely. Daichi has an incredibly naive attitude, fueled by a life of sheltering and love, to the point where he believes prison is interchangeable with shelter and killing another person is unthinkable, if not subconsciously impossible. He is far to trusting for his own good, and he does whatever he can to help, usually failing and causing harm.
Background: Born in Kyoto to a single mother, Daichi led a completely normal life. He was quite bright for his age, to the point where his daycare thought he would accomplish great things in the future. His mother, a Florakinetic, owned a small flower shop which kept the family in a comfortable position financially. Daichi dreamed of inheriting his mother's quirk, and taking over the shop when she grew too old. He never knew his father, but he really couldn't care less at the time. After all, kids always look forward to getting their quirks. They never stop to think of what they would do if things turned out differently.
The moment went by instantly for Daichi. He closed his eyes for a second, and he was suddenly taller than his mother. His muscles bulged without any effort, threatening to rip his skin apart, and he felt so much... heavier. None of this was on Daichi's mind however. The only thing that was on his mind was the fact that he couldn't breath. His tongue, a massive blob of flesh, was far back in his mouth, near his throat. Presumably, this was meant to prevent biting it with knife-like teeth. Unfortunately, it also blocked his windpipe, resulting in him passing out. He awoke in the nearby hospital several hours later, his mother sobbing by his side.
His father had the same quirk, and had left the country in order to avoid persecution for tax evasion. Daichi's mother had seen the process of Daichi's quirk activating, which took several minutes until completion. She had been the one to call the ambulance for him. And she was also the person to tell him the bad news.
Having gone so long without oxygen, Daichi's brain had suffered immense damage. It was unlikely for him to ever recover fully, and he was destined to be mentally handicapped. Additionally, his left lung had suffered shock from the event, resulting in a shortness of breath and severe asthma. Daichi remained in the hospital for 4 months, and left just in time for his birthday.
He had turned 4.
As the years went by, it became clear that Daichi had changed, and not just mentally. He lost the numerous friends he had made, and he never managed to make anymore. He was far less expressive, and also was introverted. He began to read almost obsessively, and his small garden nearly tripled in size. He was delving into himself, and shutting everyone else out.
At 8, Daichi was taller than the average man, and weighed just as much. It was then that he decided to join the local soup kitchen. Maybe he wanted to recover himself before he became a social pariah, or maybe he simply wanted to be something besides the monster he appeared to be. Or maybe there was no reason. But the faces of those he saw that day changed him. They didn't sneer at his face, or cringe at his voice. They didn't shake in fear when he walked near them. They simply smiled, and thanked him for the food. He wanted to help people as much as possible.
For the next 6 years, Daichi became a local legend, and was the go-to guy if someone had a problem. People no longer looked at him with fear, but with gratitude. As the years went on, this sense of justice and satisfaction became addictive, to the point where Daichi had selected his future career.
Professional hero.
Daichi spent the next year studying furiously, and spending every waking moment learning. After months of studying and a grueling exam period, he successfully managed to make it into the famous Komei Academy, bottom of his class. After a tearful goodbye with his mother, Daichi left for Musutafu, to show the world that he wasn't just some monster.
Quirk: Monstrous Physiology
Classification: Mutant
Description: Daichi has an incredibly strong body. Something such as a regular punch would probably break a person's hand, and it would take a large number of small caliber bullets to take him down. Strength wise, it would be easy for him to throw cars, let alone punches. Something large, like a building or truck, however, is beyond his capabilities. He is able to see in the dark, and can jump three meters vertically in the air. He is 50% stronger in the dark.
Unfortunately, Daichi's quirk comes with some side effects. He is, compared to his classmates, mentally dim, and his quirk reshaping his mouth has caused him to develop a severe stutter. Additionally, subtlety is a foreign concept for him, as simply walking generates a lot of noise. Speed is also unknown to him, as he has horrible cardiovascular strength, to the point where jumping places would be faster. Internal damage is by far the biggest threat, as most surgical scalpels cannot pierce his skin, leading to numerous health problems throughout Daichi's life. Daichi has no sense of smell, and his stomach has become incapable of digesting plants, leading to a carnivorous life style. On the topic of food, Daichi requires 5000 calories a day which, while not to threatening in modern day Japan, would be incredibly dangerous in a survival situation. Daichi's durability only extends to physical trauma, and mental attacks are more than twice as effective on him. He has numerous 'weak points' scattered throughout his body, mainly on his back and lower on his neck. These spots glow bright red when he is in a rage, and will cause him to fall unconscious if hit with large amounts of force. His quirk is constantly active, making Daichi gain a very careful disposition when it comes to other people, the inability to swim, and a very low IQ. Finally, Daichi is 50% weaker in the light, leading to his more 'nocturnal' sleep cycle.
Talents: Boxing: Due to his size and lack of dexterity, Daichi has adopted the western art of Boxing. He is quite experienced, but nowhere near tournament level.
Gardening: Despite being a pure carnivore, Daichi has been known to be an avid gardener, and does his best to keep his plants alive. He's the kind of guy who brings his potted plants inside during bad weather.
Foreign Language: Unsurprisingly for the guy with the intelligence of a child, Daichi has an incredible grasp on foreign languages. He has nearly mastered English (Westaboo), and has made great progress towards Chinese. He will occasionally make exclamations in English, mainly for effect or attention.
Kishi turned to look at Lomen as he gave his response, making sure to keep an eye on the boar, who was facing away from them and devouring the berries greedily.
"Should be fun. It is important we each play around with different positions and find our own fighting style. Be sure to position yourself in front of a tree or large stone. Although the tusks may be scary, they can also be broken or stuck into a tree. If you desire being the bait you can take my shield. If not I will tie it around you or myself as armor. I would prefer to be the bait but I will not stop you if you believe you would be the better bait."
"If you are sure you can dodge him, I see no problem. I Just... Make sure you don't get hurt."
"I'm not sure what I would do if you... ya know. Be careful."
Kishi quickly spotted a tree that covered the clearing. With dexterity that was much more advanced than the days prior, Kishi silently climbed to the top of the tree, before resting on a branch directly over the gluttonous boar. Kishi carefully retied the knot of his spear, making sure that it was very tight, and tensed every muscle in his body.
The bark of the tree felt unnaturally rough, and the leaves covered the branch like a blanket. If Lomen was successful in distracting the boar, he would have a very easy job of finishing off the creature.
Thoughts of Isurta's death and the goblin corpses filled his mind. He could see himself falling off the branch, breaking his legs on the hard and unforgiving ground, and being devoured by the giant monstrosity. The fear returned.
The boar in his dream left him as nothing more than a skeleton, bones picked cleanly. And then, it charged for Brother Lomen, impaling him cleanly through it's tusks.
A strange calmness laid over him. He was going to do everything in his power to not miss. He wasn't going to die here.
Not while he still had people who needed him.
Kishi waited for Lomen to begin, and prepared to deliver a Precise Strike.
Kishi slowly came to, when he realized that Zectoll was no longer around. Presumably, he went into the cavern in search of something. Kishi turned towards the two graves before vomiting in his mouth. The bile was horrid, and it took several seconds for the foreign liquid to return to his stomach. A strong acidic burn spread throughout his mouth, and nearly distracted him from Lomen's words.
"I am going back out to hunt. If either of you want to join me you are welcome too. If not I will be heading out while their is still light in the day."
Kishi stopped his movements. Once again, the rage returned, however it came back as a fiery vengeance rather than an icy anger. The though of death made him realize how much the creatures of this land had taken from him, and the thought of killing them filled Kishi with a disgusting sense of joy. Once again, he donned his fake smile, and he responded to Lomen.
"Of course. There is still time in the day, after all. You can lead us this time, I... don't really feel in the mood."
Kishi began to follow Lomen as he made his march into the dark forest once more.
The path they had taken had been completely different from any that Kishi had taken before. Then again, considering he has only been hunting twice, this was not saying much. He was about to ask if the two of them should turn back, before a thumping on the ground silenced him. Standing 1-2 dozen feet away was a furry creature that was the same height as Kishi, and far more muscular. The flesh of the creature was incredibly taught, and stretched tightly across it's body. A single kick was likely to break his bones, and Kishi refused to think of what the creature could do if it struck him with it's tusks. However, the beast was also far larger than any other that Kishi has encountered thus far, and was more than capable of feeding multiple goblins. Whoever slayed this beast would be the envy of the entire cave. Kishi, however, was too focused on the tusks that were nearly the size of his arm. Soon, the voice in his head chimed in, giving Kishi a name for the creature.
Stamp Boar
Kishi silently maneuvered himself behind a bush, before thinking of a plan to fell this creature. Surely he could keep the beasts attention, but the biggest threat were the tusks. They could easily disembowel any goblin, and both of them were no exceptions. The airstrike was effective in it's last employment, but it was quite dangerous. Deciding to take the aggro, Kishi listed out his plan to the goblin beside him.
"Here is my plan: I'll go in for a direct assault and, while it's distracted, you jump down from one of the trees. Since you don't have much reach with your horn, jumping down is much better than being the bait."
The usually light tone of voice was not present in Kishi's remark. Instead, a cold, slightly anxious voice stood in it's place.
