At some point, Flash Sentry began to have memories of being a hunter of heroes from another world named Garou. Now with the skills from his past life, he tries to live like a normal teenager.
Flash Sentry. A sixteen-year-old teenager with dark blue hair, yellow skin, and light blue irises. Now he was lying on a single bed in his room. Naked to gray underwear, with a yellow blanket thrown to the floor, Flash put his hands under the back of his head, staring up at the ceiling. There was only dawn. The sun slowly rose over the horizon of the city, until the first rays of light began to seep into the young man's abode through the open window. This continued until the whole room was lit up. Unable to wait for the alarm to ring, Flash assumed a sitting position. He still had more than an hour before going to school. Getting out of bed, he walked over to a rectangular mirror hanging on the wall. Seeing his body in the reflection, the young man smiled. Eight packs of abs, with four on each side of the abdomen. Protruding chest, with a distinct stripe relief in the middle. Biceps, triceps, shoulder with forearm, also created a relief on the arms. The muscles of the legs were harmoniously inflated by the rest of the body. The training regimen created by his teacher from a past life paid off. However, the thought of the man who managed to become a father to him when he was still Garou made the Flash frown, reducing his earlier smile to nothing. Grabbing his clothes hanging on the back of a chair, the young man, dressed in gray sweatpants and a white T-shirt, left the room straight into the corridor on the second floor of the house. Moving on, he stopped at the stairs to the bottom. Going straight into the hallway, Flash opened the door to the street, stepped outside the house, not forgetting to put on his red sneakers with white soles.
The evergreen forest, was a place where Garou could once practice using the rock-destroying mountain stream style. It was quiet here, far from prying eyes and the hustle and bustle of the city. Only he and the local vegetation with animals that clearly did not want to interfere with him.
Hit.
The tree, a spruce, whose trunk thickness was fifty centimeters in diameter, was pierced through by the young man's fist. Taking out his limb, he looked at the through hole he had left. No doubt. The power he possessed right now was not enough to defeat an ES class hero. But in this world, he could already be considered the strongest person. The Flash was pulled out of his train of thought by the beeping sound of his wristwatch. Time to go to school.
"Late again, Mr. Sentry?"
At the entrance to the educational institution, the head teacher was waiting for him. And part-time director Celestia's sister, Luna. A woman, with light blue skin, with the same color, but a dark shade of flowing hair down to the waist. Of the clothes, she was wearing dark blue pants, a purple sleeveless blouse, tied at the waist with a belt. White collar with black crescent moon. And white low heels.
"If you didn't have such good grades, it could cause a lot of problems."
Ignoring the remark, Flash walked past the woman, straight to the door. At such a rude gesture, she only sighed. This was not the first time she had dealt with this student.
Entering the chemistry class, he was met by another disgruntled teacher. But, like last time, the Flash ignored the comments made in his direction. Sitting at the last desk, he stared out the window, not worrying about the disgruntled teacher. It's gonna be another boring day at Canterlot High.
Flash wandered through the gray corridors of the school. The young man could feel the glances of the students around him on his back. Each of them was afraid of him. And there were reasons for this. There were many rumors around the school about how he beat another innocent, innocent student. However, like so many rumors, this was a lie created to try and make life difficult for him. Responsible for this was Santes Shimer. The Flash grimaced in disgust as soon as the image of the named girl came into his head.
"How pathetic you are, no wonder your friends are homeless animals."
The Flash stopped when he heard a familiar voice. You remember the devil and he will appear.
Fluttershy is a girl with lush, slightly wavy, waist-length light pink hair, pale yellow skin, and mint-colored eyes. She wears a white shirt, a green skirt, and matching boots with pink socks. On the right of her head, her hair is pinned with a white hairpin in the shape of a butterfly. She has a reputation as a shy and non-confrontational girl, and loves animals. And for a character that did not allow her to stand up for herself, she became a victim of ridicule and bullying from her peers. One of those who loved to make fun of her was Sunset Shimmer. A girl with reddish-brown hair, bright yellow skin and green eyes. Wearing a black leather jacket with a pink t-shirt with a simplified sun pattern on the chest, an orange skirt, and high heeled black boots. Unable to say anything, Fluttershy just looked down at the floor. Deciding that she had nothing more to get from the girl, Sunset Shimmer decided to leave. However, as soon as she turned in the opposite direction, she rested her face against someone's chest.
Stepping back, she looked up at the living obstacle.
"Oh Flash didn't see you."
Looking at the young man from the bottom up, Santes Shimer overcame the vomiting urges of disgust, forcefully forced herself to smile.
"I'm afraid the lesson will start soon. It was nice to meet you, but I have to go."
An attempt to get around the Flash was unsuccessful, the twist of the girl was immediately stopped by a hand resting on her shoulder. Looking at the teenager in bewilderment, Santes Shimer saw a smirk on Flash's face.
"You think I can just let go of my friend's bully."
At such a statement, both girls dulled their gaze.
"Is she your friend?"
After recovering from the mild shock, Santes Shimer narrowed her eyes in suspicion. The question from the redhead girl only made Flash's smirk more expressive. As if showing and confirming his words, he approached Fluttershy, wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Fluttershy herself, namely her cheeks, blushed. She was clearly not ready for such close contact.
Flash pulled Fluttershy a little closer to him, which made the blush on her cheeks even more noticeable.
In turn, having heard this, confused by the guy’s intervention, Sunset Shimmer decided to make an attempt to justify herself.
“Oh, I didn’t want to seem like a bully. But Fluttershy didn’t consciously take my thing.”
“Actually, she’s not yours...”
Fluttershy fell silent as soon as she caught an angry look from the red-haired girl.
"Anyway. Class is starting soon. I have to go."
"Apologize."
"Or, what?"
"Ask your servants. I think their names were Snails and Snips."
Sunset Shimmer slanted her gaze in bewilderment, until a realization immediately came to her. A few days earlier, she had sent Snails and Snipes to follow the Flash, to gather provocative information if possible. But much to her surprise, the next day she found their unconscious bodies in the schoolyard trash cans. As much as the girl didn't want to admit it, Flash was the only one not subject to her power. Grinning in disgust, Sunset Shimmer slowly opened her mouth, preparing to say the cherished words.
It would be a severe blow to her reputation.
After the apology she'd received from Shimmer, Fluttershy couldn't help her growing sense of fear and panic. Knowing the character of the school's most notorious bully, it was obvious that she was expecting her to pull some sneaky stunt that would ruin her and Flashen's lives. As soon as she looked at the young man, however, panic immediately receded, replaced by a stupefying calm. Without convention, the deed the boy had done had imprinted itself heavily on her mind in a positive way.
"One, it's all good now, I'll go."
When Flash's limb stopped making contact with her shoulder, Fluttershy was once again gripped by panic. Thoughts went back to a possible... No... guaranteed revenge from the Sunset Shimmer.
"Why?"
The departing young man turned around, directing a perplexed look at the girl.
"Why, what?"
"Why did you help me?"
Flash remained silent, until eventually shrugging after a few seconds.
"I don't know."
Fluttershy slanted her gaze.
"But... But... Sunset Shimmer can ruin your life! And you don't even realize it?!"
Shutting her mouth with her hand, she blushed, realizing how loud her tone could be.
"I'm sorry..."
Before she could say anything else, the familiar school bell rang. The young man resumed his path again and this time she didn't stop him.
Flash's school day was unremarkable. Classes, students, teachers. It was all nauseatingly ordinary. Having memories from his past life, the young man couldn't help but envy Garou. The monsters, the heroes, the risks. His blood boiled with a pleasant adrenaline rush. Why wasn't it all here? Flash was horrified. Would he be willing to put people's lives on the line just to brighten up the gray of everyday life?
"The earth summons to Flash Sentry."
A familiar girlish voice sounded next to him.
A grimace of irritation immediately appeared on the young man's face as he realized who it belonged to.
"I told you not to bother me when I'm eating, Rainbow Dash."
Lunch break was not only meal time for Flash, but also an opportunity to sink into deep thought without the risk of being pulled out of it by a disgruntled teacher. And now, sitting at one of the many tables in the school cafeteria, his thoughts were interrupted after all.
"Don't be mad friend, just thought I'd see how you were doing."
Rainbow Dash has long hair in a ponytail with a rainbow color that includes all the colors of the rainbow, pale blue skin and large light purple eyes. She usually wears a white t-shirt with a zipper tag, a dark blue jacket with short elbow sleeves, and a white and purple skirt. On her feet she wears dark blue boots with white laces and rainbow colored socks.
Flash gave her a sarcastic stare. As if expecting a different answer. Realizing that she had been exposed for the lie she was, the girl sighed.
"Okay. I want to take a rematch from you."
"No."
Such a harsh answer, took Rainbow by surprise.
"What?! But..."
"I said no."
The young man returned to his meal. However, before putting a piece of sandwich in his mouth, he said:
"But, even if I agree, then, what's in it for me?" Tha hesitated.
"How about the title, the best athlete in the school? "
Flash raised one eyebrow.
"Don't you share it with Applejack?"
The girl wrinkled her nose slightly in disgust and anger.
"Don't mention her in front of me. And who cares what she thinks?"
After school, the young man immediately went for a "walk" to the evergreen forest. It was a long way. To get there, ordinary city dwellers needed two, three hours of continuous driving. Going there on foot might seem like an absurd and wild idea. However, not for a martial artist.
Passing another corner and coming to a deserted street, Flash bent his legs at the knees, jumped on a two-story house with a sharp jerk of the top.
"Time to take a shortcut."
Using such a method of transportation was not uncommon for the teenager. Running and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Flash smirked contentedly. Even if people saw him, he highly doubted they would be able to recognize his identity at this speed.
After reaching the outskirts of the city, Flash jumped to the ground. He continued on foot for the rest of the day, immersed in his thoughts. Earlier, the young man had agreed to Rainbow's demand. Provided that they would not have the rematch until tomorrow.
Lying on the floor of the cave with his hands tucked under his head, Flash stared at the ceiling, once again lost in thought about his teenage life. A fire was burning nearby, and a little further away lay the carcass of a deer he had previously killed. Hunting was one of the few activities that could entertain the young man for a while. Tracking down prey and giving chase - all this made you feel like a predator and gave you the right mood for training. But when your speed allows you to overtake the fastest cars, chasing ordinary animals ceases to be difficult for you, taking away your already weak excitement.
"Maybe bear hunt?"
The idea that flashed in my head was immediately discarded.
"These woolly freaks are easier to catch than deer, and the meat isn't as tasty."
The familiar signal of his wristwatch made the young man look away from his thoughts. With an unhappy sigh, Flash jumped to his feet.
After putting out the fire and burying the remains of the deer, the teenager headed back to the city. There were thirty minutes left before the start of the first lesson. And if he wanted to arrive on time, he needed to speed up. Of course, Flash wasn't too worried about his punctuality. But a morning run, in his opinion, could be a good opportunity to clear his head from obsessive thoughts about his past life. Without hesitation, Flash got into a running pose.

Apple Jack sighed tiredly. Preparing for the school prom took much longer than she had originally expected. And that’s all, and for the dissatisfied Sances Shimer, who, as it turned out yesterday, couldn’t stand apple fizzybrew. Having told this to my family, who were also preparing for the ball, it was decided to replace the fizzy drink with regular juice.
"That's crazy."
The girl was angry. She and her family were forced to run to the tune of this red-haired bitch.
"Calm down. This will all end soon."
Taking a deep breath, Apple Jack exhaled, trying to suppress her growing irritation. The girl gripped the steering wheel of the pickup truck tighter and focused her gaze on the road ahead of her. There weren't many cars on the highway, but, according to Apple Jack, that didn't give her the right to take the road lightly. God protects the careful.
"It's good that this will end soon. Isn't it, Mackintosh?"
Having received no answer, the girl turned her gaze to her brother in bewilderment. Who, to even greater confusion, sat with widened eyelids and a slightly open mouth.
"Is something wrong, Big Brother?"
As soon as she followed Mackintosh’s gaze and realized where he was looking, Apple Jack immediately opened her eyes in shock. There was a man running beside their pickup truck.
Somehow suppressing the shock, the girl managed to recognize the face of the man in front of her.
"Flash?"
The young man himself outside the window did not even pay attention to the shocked girl. Its speed seemed to increase until it overtook the pickup truck and disappeared beyond her vision.
___________________×××___________________
The doors to the main entrance of Canterlot School swung open, letting a slightly road-dusted Flash inside. Looking at his wristwatch, he clicked his tongue in displeasure. The path from the forest to the school took twenty minutes, which did not at all correspond to the result that the young man was striving for. Even if he wasn’t late, the young martial artist’s mood was ruined. As he expected, the training ceased to bear significant fruit. If he wants to progress, he needs to find a worthy challenge for his body and spirit. In his past life, Garou was on the verge of death more than once during battles with opposing forces. Which made him much stronger later.
With such thoughts, he headed towards the corridor still filled with students.
"Hmm?"
Only now he noticed that everyone was looking at their sensor devices, whispering about something and giggling at the same time. Curiosity got the better of him, and he approached the group of teenagers and looked into one of the sensory gadgets. What he saw made the young man immediately open his mouth.
The students, previously captivated by watching the video, finally paid attention to Flash. A little surprised and clearly frightened, they, not knowing how to react, decided to remain silent in the hope that the young man would leave after some time on his own. The video lasted no more than a minute, and all this time the students, in tense silence, were afraid to do something wrong, so as not to bring down the wrath of the famous school bully.
Hit.
Flash's fist passed through the iron door of a nearby school locker. The teenagers standing in the corridor then turned their shocked glances to the young man. It's your turn. Pulling out his hand, Flash immediately headed down the corridor to an unknown destination.
___________________×××___________________
Flash stared at the mirror over the sink in the men's room. Making sure that there was no one nearby, the young man sighed, trying to normalize his breathing. This aggressive behavior was also caused by the content of the video he watched in the corridor.
A girl with purple skin who walked on all fours and carried various objects with her mouth. If it weren't for the voiceover, which clearly belonged to Sances Shimer, and the background in the form of a school library, Flash might have thought that this was one of those stupid videos from the Internet. Where a person deliberately behaves inappropriately in public places. However, the video was created deliberately to insult and shame the girl in it.
This made Flash angry. At the moment of watching, not the most pleasant memories from Garou’s life flashed through his head. Immediately shaking his head. Flash frowned angrily.
"Be that as it may, these are not mine Problems. Let that girl figure it out on her own."
Having said this out loud, the young man headed towards the exit.
___________________×××___________________
"Oh! Hey Flash! Is something wrong?"
“Pinky. At least for this week, can you leave me alone?” - Flash answered without turning around. Three lessons had already passed, but the young man could not forget about the video he had watched. This was very infuriating. And Pinkie Pie's presence only spoiled the already bad mood.
"Come on. You look upset. I just want to know what happened."
The girl immediately stood in front of the dissatisfied young man.
"Pinky... I beg you to leave me alone. I'm in a bad mood right now."
However, what was said did not have the effect that Flash expected. Instead of leaving, the girl looked at the young man with concern.
“Why didn’t you tell me right away? It’s my duty as your best friend to cheer you up. And I know how to do it!”
Flash rolled his eyes, already knowing what the girl was up to.
"Let me guess, it's a party?"
"Yes! "
Realizing that he was unlikely to be left alone any time soon, Flash decided to make one last attempt to get rid of the annoying girl.
"Shouldn't you be helping prepare the gym for the ball with Apple Jack?"
"No! The hall is completely ready for use!"
The girl smiled. However, after a second, the smile disappeared, and Pinkie Pie's face took on a thoughtful look.
"Oh, sorry Flash, I remembered that I have things to do. Don't be boring!"
Having said this, the girl hurriedly left.
After following her with his eyes for a couple of seconds, Flash smiled gleefully.
"Lucky..."
___________________×××___________________
Flash wandered around the football field in the backyard of the school. It was here that Rainbow Dash set up a meeting and location for their rematch. Not to say that he was happy that he had to waste his time on meaningless ball games, but he had already made his promise to the girl.
"Hey Flash!"
Turning around at the scream, the young man saw Rainbow Dash standing at the gate, waiting for him. “You were almost late! Did you fall asleep somewhere under your desk again?” Ignoring what was said, Flash approached the girl with a grin.
"Ready to lose again?"
"Don't be so cocky!"
Exclaiming this with displeasure, Rainbow hit Flash on the shoulder. A minute later, both were already standing in the middle of the field, ready to start the game. Rainbow held the ball in her hand and was clearly tense looking at the young man in front of her. Flash could rightfully be considered the most worthy and at the same time the most difficult opponent she had ever met. Memories of their first meeting appeared in her head...
___________________×××___________________
Rainbow Dash smiled gleefully. After another goal against the enemy, the students in the physical education lesson looked at her with admiration and envy while her next defeated opponent left the football field in disgrace.
"Who wants to challenge me next?!"
Rainbow looked around the entire field.
"Maybe you?!"
The girl pointed her finger at one of the students, who, after her proposal, immediately shook her head furiously from side to side, clearly not eager to join the game. This made Rainbow's smile even wider.
"Wow, those are muscles."
"You think he's on steroids?"
"How beautiful he is..."
"Showing off."
Turning in the direction of the voices in bewilderment, Rainbow saw Flash, to whom all the students’ gazes were now focused. And it was clear why. The young man was dressed in a white tank top and red shorts, allowing his incredibly sculpted body to be seen. Rainbow herself even mentally compared him to Big Biceps. However, the differences were great. Flash's body was covered with many reliefs and seemed more graceful. Big Biceps's body, on the other hand, was rather clumsy.
Shaking her head and driving away these thoughts, Rainbow looked angrily at Flash, who, in turn, ignoring those around him, performed various gymnastic exercises. The girl was aware of Flash's reputation, so seeing the notorious badass receive so much positive attention was, to say the least,... unsettling.
Deciding not to stand on the sidelines any longer, Rainbow approached Flash. In her opinion, it was necessary to teach the young man a lesson. And she knew how. "So are you Flash? How much pride does it take to bully those smaller than you?" To the girl’s displeasure, the young man continued to warm up, completely ignoring her.
"Didn't you hear? I'm talking to you!"
The young man ignored her again. Which started to make Rainbow a little angry.
"I came to see if you would like to play with me? Of course, you can refuse. I doubt that someone like you would have the courage to do anything."
Flash finally stopped warming up.
"Rainbow Dash... You're too weak."
Realizing what she had heard, Rainbow felt anger filling her. Is she weak? Did they just call her weak?
“Well, repeat what you said there!”
“I’ll repeat it as long as it takes to get it through your little brains. You’re a weakling.”
After the words were spoken by the young man, the girl immediately threw the ball that had previously been lying under her right hand into the air. Jumping and spinning in the air, she kicked the ball, sending it straight to Flash's head.
However, instead of hitting its target, the ball fell to the ground where Flash was standing a second ago.
"Where did he go?"
Rainbow began to look around in shock until she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder. Immediately turning around, she looked with shock and horror at Flash, who, unknown to her, was behind her.
"Too slow."
Raising his hand to the girl’s forehead, Flash with a light poke of his finger made her fall to the ground in surprise.
Still shocked, Rainbow continued to look at Flash with her eyes open.
"Now that's all, I'm leaving." Turning around, the young man headed towards the door of the men's locker room.
"Wait!"
Stopping, Flash turned to the girl.
"What do you want?"
The young man asked with obvious irritation in his voice.
Moving away from the shock, Rainbow looked at Flash with anger and determination in her eyes.
"Shall we play football?"
___________________×××___________________
Half a year has passed since that day, but Rainbow Dash, no matter how hard she tried, could not defeat Flash in any sports game. The young man's speed was absurdly fast. Which made the girl wonder sometimes. Is an ordinary person capable of something like this? The answer was obvious. However, this raised another question. Can Flash Sentry be considered human?
Rainbow Dash pushed unnecessary thoughts aside. If Flash could achieve this, then she can do it too.
"On the count of three..."
Rainbow began the report, getting ready to throw the ball on the ground and start the game. But, before she could continue, the girl noticed the young man’s gaze directed at something behind her.
Turning around, she sighed irritably when she saw Apple Jack heading towards her.
