A/N: First and foremost, welcome to the new take on Spider of Peace by yours truly. Now, I will say now that there will be minor edits to this chapter and the first couple of chapters because these were the chapters where I was making my own calls from the beginning. But later on is where stuff will start to differ a lot.

I also want to point out, well you can probably tell, that the main pairing for this new Spider of Peace is of course Izuku X Momo. No, this will not change to anyone else. No, this will not become a harem fic. This rendition will be Izuku X Momo AND THAT'S IT! Anyway I hope you enjoy :)

Hey, midwife (aka beta) Eli here. The rebirth has begun, so I hope you enjoy our new and improved baby.

Chapter 1

"Speech" 'Thoughts'

"Mental Communication/Phone/TV/Letter/Flashback/Robot"

"PRESENT MIC SPEECH/SHOUTING IIDA/RAGE FUELLED BAKUGOU" (Normal speech quotations when he isn't using a mic or shouting)

. . . . . .

Deep in downtown Tokyo inside a dimly lit bar that was never open to anyone, two strange individuals stood. In front of them sat twenty or more test tubes filled with a strange black glowing substance that bubbled every so often. These two individuals were Tomura Shigaraki, a man who had hands covering his body and face, and Kurogiri, better known as Black Mist. Both men were villains that were a part of the League of Villains and they were currently in the middle of creating their masterpiece that would finally stop the Symbol of Peace.

"Finally, we're drawing near to the end of All Might thanks to this beautiful thing right here," Shigaraki said in a creepy voice with a smile as he held up one of the test tubes.

"Pardon me for asking, but what do those do? You never actually stated what these are, only that they help this Noumu?" Kurogiri asked, trying not to annoy the other man as it was never pretty when Shigaraki was angry. Shigaraki only snickered as he turned to Kurogiri.

"For once, I'm actually glad you asked. This here is our power up for the final boss that is All Might. It's the combination of a super strength quirk, a high stamina quirk, a super effective regenerative quirk and a quirk that naturally hardens the bones. I call it the Noumu serum." Kurogiri looked at him, shocked.

"And you have more than twenty of these!? We could make a small army out of these!" Shigaraki snapped at the misty man when he heard that.

"YOU IDIOT! No… no, no no… it's not his fault, he's stupid… he doesn't understand," Shigaraki spoke to himself as he scratched the sides of his neck with a slight twitch of his head.

Kurogiri breathed a sigh of relief as the man child calmed himself out of his hair trigger rage.

"As if it would be that easy. Any human that consumes this formula dies after a matter of weeks due to the pure power of the combined quirks… not to mention the insanity. These formulas are all being used on an artificial body that was made for these quirks – a creature made of an organic substance we were lucky to find a couple of months back which we mixed with these formulas." Kurogiri understood what his boss said but had to do a double take when he remembered something that was glossed over.

"Did you say insanity?" the misty man asked with a slightly concerned and confused look, making Shigaraki sigh in annoyance.

"All the test subjects who consumed this formula experienced a variety of different side effects. First they would feel stronger and faster than ever before; then their bodies would start to improve with stronger bones, a slight healing factor; but finally their minds would start to crumble… voices whispering in the back of their mind. As time went on, the voices grew and merged until there was just one single voice trying to take over the body. The insanity and conflict within one body killed them," Shigaraki explained. Kurogiri just stared at the test tubes, horrified at the damage these simple vials of liquid could cause.

Now recovering from the explanation, the mist enveloped man nodded in understanding but then asked one more question.

"What if this was used on an animal rather than a human?" Shigaraki thought for a second about the question before looking down at the floor to see a spider crawl underneath them.

"Let's see..." Shigaraki smirked as he picked up one of the vials and let three drops of the Noumu serum fall onto the spider. Almost instantly the spider freaked out, shaking violently and shooting small webs out before turning over with its legs curled up, effectively dying in agony.

With a quiet laugh that oozed insanity from the pure sadistic tone of it, Shigaraki closed the vial and looked at Kurogiri with a spine tingling smile.

"Same results."

Now with both villains satisfied with their results, the two left the room to continue with their business. However, due to their exit they failed to see the supposedly dead spider twitch one of its legs before flipping itself over and scuttling through a crack in the wall, leaving the building.

. . . . . .

*A few days later*

"It's not wrong to dream. But you need to dream realistically, kid."

Izuku Midoriya, a 14 year old, third-year middle school student who was cursed at birth with no quirk in this world of weird, had just been told he can't be a hero by the very person he looked up to: All Might. Well, a deflated, almost skeleton-looking All Might.

Izuku had just been emotionally destroyed. He thought that if he at least heard something inspirational from All Might then he could finally push himself that little bit further to be a hero, but instead he got told the opposite and all he could think about was every demoralising thing he'd ever been told.

"You should just give up."

"What can you even do?!"

"You're totally useless!"

"I'm sorry, Izuku. I'm sorry."

Izuku felt so emotionally numb and zoned out. In his dazed state, he didn't notice the spider crawling up his trousers and on to his black school jacket. What did grab his attention, however, was the massive explosion that happened several streets away from him. Izuku's eyes lit up a little bit.

"I wonder what hero will... " Izuku said to himself with wonder in his voice before remembering: what was even the point? He was just a unimportant fanboy with no friends, no definable qualities… and no quirk.

He shoved his self-deprecating thoughts aside and tried to bring up his mood by getting back in his fanboy mindset. He was about to run for the exit to go and investigate the explosion for himself but was stopped by a massive piercing and burning pain hitting the back of his neck.

Izuku winced in pain and said to himself with a sad smile, "Guess that's what I get for being optimistic." And with that, he continued towards the exit of the roof, walking slowly down the stairs with a depressed look on his face while he thought to himself.

'Even the best of the best said it...' Izuku raised his left hand and rubbed his nose and teary eyes.

'Don't cry. You already knew, this is reality…. It's because I knew… that I tried so damn hard to ignore the reality of it all.' Izuku continued to walk while fighting back tears, forcing himself to put one foot in front of the other. If he stopped moving now, he wouldn't be able to pick himself back up.

Finally making it to the ground floor, Izuku exited the building. He looked around, gathering his bearings so he could make his way home when he was hit by a massive amount of dizziness, causing him to stumble and rest against a wall to stay standing.

'Where did that come from?' Izuku questioned as a sudden wave of nausea hit him so hard he almost threw up on the street. Izuku looked up at the sky while he waited for the nausea to subside to see a pillar of black smoke a couple of streets away.

'Oh, that must be where that explosion came from before,' Izuku mused distractedly. And just like that, the thought was gone as quickly as it came as he looked to the ground and walked mindlessly. Due to the sheer weight of the depressing emotions circling through Izuku's mind, he became numb to his surroundings and kept moving purely by autopilot. After a few minutes, Izuku heard a commotion nearby and turned to his left to see a group of people surrounding the entrance to a shopping district currently engulfed in flames.

'I guess I just walked here subconsciously,' Izuku thought as a sombre expression graced his features once more. Seeing as he was here, he decided he would make his way to the crowd to see what was happening. To Izuku's horror, he saw the dark green sludge villain that almost killed him earlier.

'Why is he here?! I thought All Might captured him…' The realization hit him as he thought back to earlier when he and All Might had a struggle mid-air. Izuku covered his mouth with his hands and went wide-eyed in shock.

'This is my fault!'

"Why aren't the heroes doing anything?" one of the watchers asked in a worried tone.

"Apparently the villain grabbed a middle schooler." Izuku felt even sicker at the sound of that.

'Someone else is enduring that same pain!?' He felt so guilty. It was because he wanted to ask questions. It was because…

'It's completely my fault. It's my fault All Might can't do anything.' Izuku merely prayed that the hostage would be able to hold out until a hero with the right quirk came along.

But then he saw the eyes.

The eyes that belonged to Katsuki Bakugou – to Kacchan.

The eyes that were filled with complete fear of death.

In less than a second, Izuku went from the back of the crowd watching the scene playing out to dashing towards Bakugou as fast as his legs could carry him. Everyone was shocked at what Izuku was doing, including Izuku himself.

"Get back here, you fool! Stop!" the hero Death Arms yelled out to Izuku which he ignored completely.

Standing to the back of the crowd, All Might almost yelled out in surprise as he saw the quirkless fan he'd just admonished for his unrealistic heroic dreams not 10 minutes ago dash into the fray. 'What on earth is that kid doing?! This is a job for the professionals, the heroes! He's going to get himself killed!'

Izuku was thinking much the same thing. 'What am I doing?! Why am I-!' Izuku's thoughts faded quickly as another wave of nausea hit him causing him to stumble in his sprint.

The villain laughed and started to move his body, preparing to strike while Izuku began to stumble. As quick as the nausea hit, it faded as Izuku felt a massive sting in the back of his brain like a warning signal. The warning made Izuku use his stumbling position to his advantage and out of instinct push himself up into the air, dodging a fast swinging sludge arm.

For a brief moment, Izuku didn't know who he was… like something had just sparked inside of him as he spun himself forward in the air.

'How did I do that?!' Izuku wondered in shock as he landed back on the ground keeping his momentum to run. Remembering page 25 of his notes, he threw his school bag at the sludge villain with as much strength as his puny body could muster, temporarily blinding the monster.

Now at the sludge monster, Izuku started clawing at the sludge surrounding Bakugou even though he knew it was pointless to do so. Bakugou gave Izuku a confused look as he shouted with tears stinging his eyes.

"My legs just starting moved on their own! And… you looked like you were asking for help!" That one line hit All Might hard; he had been lecturing this kid about how he couldn't be a hero and here this quirkless, powerless child was, risking his life while All Might just sat on the sidelines doing nothing, only thinking about himself. In his self-directed anger and disappointment, he slowly forced himself to transform.

'Pathetic... Pathetic!'

Just as the sludge villain was about to take another swing at Izuku, All Might appeared in front of him in the blink of the eye and stopped the attack with his whole body.

"I really am pathetic!" He didn't sound big and proud like he always did, instead he sounded annoyed at himself.

"Even when I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" All Might shouted, gripping Izuku and Bakugou's arms with his massive left hand.

With blood shooting out of his mouth, All Might yelled, "A pro should always be ready to risk his life!"

He punched the air in front of the sludge villain with a mighty force as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"DETROIT SMAAAAAASH!"

The villain scattered into pieces from the sheer force of the punch – a punch which also created a powerful wind vortex that made all the clouds swirl around in the sky and release their watery holdings.

"He changed the weather with a single punch!" one of the civilians in the crowd shouted in pure amazement. The rest of the crowd began cheering in joy that All Might defeated the villain with such ease.

After the whole sludge villain fiasco, All Might dealt with the many, many questions from the press while all the other heroes helped collect the scattered pieces of sludge for the police. Izuku had to deal with the shouting of heroes such as Death Arms and Kamui Woods who kept telling him what he did was suicidal and idiotic. He also had a few paramedics ask if he was alright because of how unnaturally pale he was and the amount of times he almost threw up. On the other hand, Bakugou was getting praised by the heroes saying he was so brave and his quirk was absolutely amazing.

It's truly amazing how differently people are treated because of quirks...

. . . . . .

It's been about 10 minutes since the villain had been defeated and Izuku was on his way home to finally get some rest and hopefully sleep away the nausea.

'I wanted to apologise to All Might but the reporters didn't make it easy… Plus, I'm not feeling so good right now,' Izuku thought to himself as he put a hand to his head when he started to feel incredibly dizzy again.

"Hey, Deku!" Izuku turned at the sound of his nickname from Bakugou and thought he'd say thanks or something along the lines of that. Instead, he was met with a very angry Bakugou that had charged at him and grabbed him by his jacket.

"I never asked for your help! And as if you could! You did nothing! You're a fucking quirkless failure! How dare you pity me, you fucking nerd!" Bakugou yelled as he picked up the quirkless wimp and threw him backwards to fall on his butt. Izuku felt even worse now as he watched Bakugou storm off, because he knew Bakugou was right; he couldn't do a single thing to help the situation.

'I guess I should really focus on a realistic future inste-'

"I AM HERE!" All Might suddenly rushed out onto the street and appeared dramatically in front of Izuku, as he always does, shocking Izuku and making him nearly jump out of his skin.

"All Might, why are you here?! I thought you were surrounded by reporters!"

All Might merely laughed loudly and stated, "Shaking them off is nothing to me! After all, I am ALL MI- KOFF!" All Might was cut off by a stream of blood shooting out of his mouth and deflating down to his true form. Izuku screamed a little but All Might regained his composure and calmly spoke to Izuku.

"Kid, I've come to thank you, apologise and… I have a proposal." Izuku looked confused but said nothing as he was curious.

"If I hadn't heard your story, I'd have been nothing but fake muscles and fake sincerity, and for that, I thank you." Izuku felt a little better hearing that but still looked down in sadness.

"No, it was my fault from the start. I got in the way and even though I'm a quirkless failure-"

"You're wrong!" All Might shouted, cutting Izuku off making the teen startle a little.

"Of all the people there, it was only you, a timid and quirkless kid, who acted! Most of the top heroes show signs of greatness even as children… Many of them claim that…" Izuku pieced together what All Might was saying and slowly broke down as tears stung the corners of his eyes.

'Please don't say it… I don't deserve to hear it… Please.'

"Their bodies moved before they could think!"

'Please don't…'

"That's what happened to you, yes?!"

"Yes!" Izuku unconsciously answered All Might's question despite being a complete mess on the inside. All Might smiled and said, with no hesitation, the two lines that would change Izuku's life forever.

"Kid, I believe you CAN become a hero! And that you are worthy to inherit my power!"

"Huh?"

All Might burst out laughing when he saw Izuku's confused face.

"AHAHAHA! What's that face for?!" All Might then pointed at Izuku as blood shot out of his mouth.

"I'm asking you… if you want to try accepting my power!" Izuku looked confused and thought this whole thing was a dream.

"You really doubt me that much?!" Izuku panicked and tried to deny it, saying that he actually believed him, but he was cut off by All Might.

"I have many secrets but I never lie!" All Might then held out his left hand and let his palm glow slightly as he continued.

"I have the ability to transfer my power… That's the quirk I inherited! It's called ONE FOR ALL!" Izuku was shocked. He'd never heard of a quirk that could be transferred from one person to another, but more importantly, why was it being offered to him of all people?

"B-but… why me?" All Might smiled at Izuku and pointed at him as well.

"I've been searching for a successor for a long while now… and back there, you were more heroic than anyone else. That is why I believe you are a worthy successor!" All Might made a loud cough sound and spurted out more blood.

"Of course, this depends on your answer."

Izuku was beyond speechless. He'd just been told All Might's greatest secret and been offered his power because he was seen as worthy. His head was spinning from all this unbelievable information.

'Do I have a reason not to accept this? No!' Izuku rubbed his eyes with his school jacket sleeve and looked up at All Might with complete seriousness.

"Yes! I accep-" Izuku attempted to speak but was cut off by himself suddenly passing out and falling face first into the ground.

"Hey kid, you alright?!" All Might shouted as he rushed to Izuku's side, shaking him a little with a worried and concerned expression.

. . . . . .

*A few hours later*

Izuku groggily awoke from his sudden slumber to see the pale ceiling of his bedroom.

'Uuugghh, I feel like shit. Wait... was that all a... dream? Figures,' Izuku thought with a sad expression as he assumed everything he thought happened was fake.

After lying there for a few seconds, Izuku felt a vile wave of nausea hit his body. In a panic, Izuku put his hand to his mouth and ran as fast as he could to the bathroom even going so far as to ram the door open with his shoulder. No sooner was his head over the toilet bowl than he began ejecting his insides into the white bowl, his loud sickening groans echoing off the bathroom walls and inside his skull just making him want to vomit more.

After Izuku had finished vomiting, he washed his mouth out and turned around to see his mother, Inko Midoriya, standing there. With a look that was a mix between relief and concern, she ran up and hugged her son.

"I'm so happy you're okay. When that blond skeleton-looking man showed up with you passed out I was so worried and …" Izuku went wide-eyed as he realised she was talking about All Might… so him saying he could be a hero wasn't a dream at all!

"Izuku, did you hear me?!" Izuku snapped out of his little internal moment and looked at his mom and smiled.

"I'm sorry, I zoned out there." Inko held out a small piece of paper that was folded and had For ONLY Izuku to read written on it.

"He wanted me to give you this." Izuku looked at the paper with a glowing smile and took the letter before dashing to his room.

"Do you need anything, sweetie? Food? Water?" Izuku poked his head around the corner at the question and smiled back at his mother.

"I'm fine, mom, I just need some sleep." Inko smiled worriedly back at her son.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything."

Now buzzing with joy, Izuku entered his room, closing the door behind him to ensure he wouldn't be disturbed. He hastily opened his letter, reading it mentally in All Might's voice.

'Hey kid, you really had me worried there when you passed out on me. I had to look through your bag to find your address so I could make sure you were safe at home. Make sure you get rest tonight as your training starts tomorrow 10 AM at Takoba Municipal beach and it won't be easy.'

Izuku set his alarm for 8 AM and took off his clothes so he was only in his underwear. As the events of the day caught up with him, Izuku was overcome with the urge to sleep so walked towards his bed, but he stopped when he walked past his mirror.

Izuku looked at himself in the mirror and saw his small skinny body that lacked any noticeable muscles. It didn't really help he had a really high metabolism, so he was stuck as the small skinny kid until god knows when.

But as he stepped away from the mirror, Izuku hesitantly turned slightly so his back was visible to him. On his neck was what seemed to be a deep spider bite that had a string of web leading out of it. At the end of it was a dead, shrivelled up spider which swung from side to side like a pendulum. Izuku looked at it in a scared horror before pulling the surprisingly strong web out of the bite in a hurry and putting it in the bin.

'Hopefully that thing wasn't poisonous… and why did it look like it had all the blood drained out of it?' was the last thing Izuku thought to himself as he examined the dead house spider before jumping into bed and drifting into a deep sleep.

. . . . . .

*The next morning*

As Izuku slowly stirred from his deep and restful sleep, he was surprised by his alarm clock. He jumped in shock as the clock seemed louder than usual and… further away… and below him.

'Wait, what?' Izuku looked at what he thought was up and saw that he was mere centimetres away from his ceiling, being held up by his fingertips and toes. He had literally jumped up from his bed and onto the ceiling.

"What the hell?!" Izuku said to himself as he dropped onto his bed with a soft thud. Izuku jumped out of bed and rushed to his mirror, fearful for what had happened to him. In it, he saw that he wasn't the same wimpy-looking Deku from before – now he was muscular as hell! He must have actually thrown up his guts last night because it looked like he had little to no fat on his body and, instead, he was now a few inches taller in height and covered in sleek lean muscles that made it look like he'd been training his body for years.

The thing that looked more out of place to Izuku than the muscles was the little, almost tube-like things coming out of his wrists. As if he knew what to do, he pushed his middle finger and ring finger into his palm for less than a second and on Izuku's mirror, a small splatter of webbing appeared.

"What the hell was that spider?" Just as Izuku said that, his mother entered, doing her usual routine of collecting his dirty clothes from the day before.

"Morning Izuku. Breakfast is on the t-" Inko dropped the clothes she was holding and stared at her son in complete shock.

"Izuku, what happened to you?!" Izuku waved his hands in front of his face out of embarrassment.

"I-I honestly don't know, mom, I swear! I just woke up like this. I don't know what happened, honest!" Both Izuku and Inko were incredibly confused as to what had actually happened to the curly-haired teen overnight. After a few moments of silence, Inko was the first one to break the tension within the room.

"Well, your breakfast is on the table and I'll see if I can find some of your father's old clothes as you seem to be about his height now." Izuku scratched the back of his head nervously and sat on his bed waiting for some clothes while he figured out what exactly had happened to him and what powers he'd apparently gained.

With another press into his palm, Izuku held what he guessed was a form of web shooting pad organically built into his hand and watched as this time a line of webbing came out of his wrist. Stopping the web as it hit the wall, Izuku saw that it naturally disconnected from him, leading for him to grab it with his hand.

"This seems to be almost identical to spider webbing… just a lot messier," Izuku stated out loud from his observation of the webbing and how it had impacted on his bedroom wall. He let the webbing fall to the floor as his mom handed him a black tracksuit with green markings on the sleeves and legs as well as a white vest.

"Thanks mom," Izuku smiled as he wasted no time in putting on the clothes before walking out into the kitchen and seeing a bowl of cereal freshly made for him.

Thankfully Izuku didn't experience any more power problems during his breakfast. He did discover, though, that he couldn't fire out webbing with a clenched fist; it had to specifically be his middle and second to last fingers. However… it took a little more time to figure out how his new adhesive powers worked due to the fact he had a spoon stuck to his hand for almost twenty minutes.

. . . . . .

Later on that same morning, All Might sat on a fridge in his normal form, waiting for Izuku to turn up to his first day of intense training at Takoba Municipal beach. All Might heard fast footsteps not too far away from where he was sitting and when he saw a mop of black and green curly hair, he knew it was Izuku.

"Midoriya, my boy! You finally showed up for your…training?" All Might had buffed up and jumped down to meet Izuku but was met with a completely different looking Izuku wearing a not-so-baggy white vest, black and green sweatpants and a jacket wrapped around his waist.

"Midoriya, I swear you weren't this tall yesterday," All Might laughed as he patted Izuku's head, making Izuku look away out of embarrassment due to the comment from his now mentor.

"I don't know what happened to me but I've gotten stronger and faster somehow. I think I might have gotten a quirk!" All Might smiled at Izuku and patted him on the back as he began to laugh at the teen's excited nature.

"Well, that makes giving you my power much easier as you'll probably be able to handle the power now." Izuku's face brightened at that realisation. He was now in fact strong enough to handle the power he was offered but All Might… but for some reason it felt wrong.

"No… I can't…"

All Might's laughing almost instantly stopped as he looked at Izuku who seemed incredibly deep in thought.

"Are you completely sure, Young Midoriya?" Izuku nodded his head and looked at All Might with complete seriousness. It was almost the exact same look in his eye that he had when he was about to accept All Might's power.

"Yes, I want to master this new quirk before I start using One For All." All Might laughed up at the sky with his hands on his hips and then pointed at Izuku's chest.

"Then show me what you can do!" Izuku smiled and looked at a broken truck 20 metres away from him. He fired two web lines out of his wrists that attached to the truck and held them tightly in his hands.

"That's certainly new," a now deflated All Might stated as he watched with complete intrigue.

Izuku ran at full sprint, which was incredibly fast; it was probably as fast as All Might at about 4%. He then jumped several metres in the air and did a forward flip so he was holding his webbing above his head. As he went over the truck, he pulled as hard as he could on his webs, lifting the truck into the air. When Izuku landed, he pulled his webbing to the ground and had the truck fly over him and slam into the ground with a colossal amount of force.

With a sense of pride and accomplishment, Izuku turned around to look at All Might with a tired but smiling face.

"Kid, you exceeded my expectations ten times over." And with that one extreme showcase of power, the training of Izuku Midoriya's spider powers began.

. . . . . .

Roughly a month had passed since Izuku had started training with the number one hero to try and get a better grasp of his arachnid-like abilities. His training with All Might on the beach changed a little as, due to the teen's newfound strength and speed, he was clearing up the beach with ease at an exponential rate which shocked even himself.

However, there was one aspect where Izuku had no experience whatsoever, which is why All Might's lesson today was-

"Combat training?!" Izuku questioned in his training tracksuit while All Might towered over him in his buff form.

"YES, YOUNG MIDORIYA! While it is good you now possess such strength and speed, it is also important to know how to use such power!" All Might exclaimed as he began to walk away from Izuku whilst doing so.

"Okay… I can understand that, so where do we start?" Izuku curiously asked as he watched All Might stand a few feet in front of him with his hands placed firmly on his hips.

"ATTACK ME!" All Might laughed loudly while Izuku looked like he was now shaking.

"What?! I-I-I don't stand a chance against you!" Izuku stuttered in fear with his legs shaking in the sand.

"JUST HAVE A GO, YOUNG MIDORIYA!" With that little bit of confidence from All Might, Izuku closed his eyes and calmed his breathing before he began to think.

'Okay… just think of it as an imposter, or a villain! ...Oh god, he looks so intimidating,' Izuku thought with a fearful look on his face as he tried to analyse a way to do this… and failed miserably.

Finally realising he had no other way of approaching this Izuku broke out into a sprint at All Might with a determined look.

All Might didn't move an inch as he saw Izuku ready himself to fight. With a swift leap into the air Izuku reeled his right arm back ready to punch at the still unmoving All Might.

Before Izuku could even throw his punch, he felt a sting in the back of his head. Unable to react to the warning, Izuku was sent flying backwards until he was sliding across the sand clutching his stomach in pain.

"You hesitated. If you are going to learn to fight, then you need to let your instincts kick in!" All Might boomed out as Izuku picked himself up off the ground, clenching his hand in the sand.

Now filled with even more determination not to let All Might down, Izuku charged forward at an even faster speed than before. All Might observed his protege as he saw his right arm move for attack making the bulky hero ready his right arm to hit him again. To his surprise though, Izuku used his arm movements as a distraction so his jump and immediate mid-air spin kick could deliver as much of an impact as possible.

Izuku's face paled a little when he saw All Might had easily blocked his powerful kick with a big smile on his face no less. The impact was quick and hard enough to kick up a large amount of sand but to All Might it was merely a tap on his left arm.

"Surely you can hit harder than that."

All Might's comment made Izuku all the more fearful as he pushed off and quickly ran back to a safe distance.

'I can't do anything… He's just too powerful,' Izuku fearfully thought as he watched All Might's smile fade but his pressure increase even more.

The fear from Izuku was completely paralysing, as he stood there shaking with pure terror.

A split second was all the hero needed as in that instant he appeared in front of Izuku and stopped a tremendously powerful punch just before Izuku's face. The shockwave alone blew back metres upon metres of sand. It even blew all of Izuku's hair back so it was standing up on edge while he laid down on the sand in shock.

"That was today's real lesson, kid. Accepting that there is and will always be someone stronger or more skilled than you," a now deflated All Might said with a small smirk on his face as his fist opened, willing to help up Izuku.

"I still have so much to learn…" Izuku replied in a tone of realisation while All Might couldn't help but burst out in laughter at his out of the blue response.

"Yes, you do, kid. Yes, you do."
