At the young age of 4 Midoriya Izuku discovered the world was not fair, quirkless, bullied and kicked into the dirt more times than he could count.

Then again at the age of 10 Izuku re learned this lesson, after all he had a quirk one he had never quite expected to have after all, what's stronger than being able to take and steal quirks in a society based off of the very same thing. It all began after standing up to his "Friend" who had now turned into what could only be described as a villain, flaunting his power over others by bullying them into submission with his quirk that generated explosions.

One day after being shoved back by his childhood tormentor Izuku felt it first then saw it, a string coming from bakugo he could sense it and he felt compelled to pull, the very essence of body screaming to take the thing and rip it from Bakugo and so he did. Confused at first because kacch- no Bakugo never backs down but when izuku shoved him back bakugo just stopped almost shutting down he just sat there staring at his hands.

"DEKU, WHAT DID YOU DO?" Bakugo roared. Izuku in complete confusion took the opportunity to flee, not stopping once until he was all the way home.

It wasn't until he returned home and stopped to think that Izuku realized what he had just done, and as if on instinct he felt himself pull on the string in his body and then tiny sparks had started to appear in his hand, so that was it. He had stolen Bakugo's quirk, his quirk lets him steal quirks. The irony of the situation was not lost on the boy he was no longer a worthless weak Deku, he was strong and Bakugo was the Deku now. He finally entered his house to find his mom making dinner.

Calling out to her he said "Mom, Mom, look at my quirk" as Izuku started creating tiny explosions from his hands acting like a small sparkler.

The face on the woman went from joy to confusion to shock at the sight. "Izuku isn't that Bakugo's quirk? or do you just happen to have the same one dear?" Inko said quite surprised as the odds of the latter seemed astronomically low since neither her nor her husband had a quirk even remotely similar to that.

"My quirk lets me take quirks mom, I took Bakugo's so he couldn't bully people anymore." Izuku explained.

It was just then that the phone started ringing already having a suspicion of who would be calling at this time of night. "Izuku we need to talk about this, stealing from others is wrong even if they were being bullies." She sighed grabbing the phone noticing the name on caller id. "Hey Mistuki, I already can figure out what your calling about, Izuku just told me what he did." she said.

"Yeah your brat stole my sons quirk, Inko I don't think I need to say how scary of a quirk your son has, my son has been bawling his eyes out for the past half an hour about losing his quirk. Is there anyway you could convince Izuku to give it back to him? If he doesn't I will have to involve the police Inko and you know I don't want to do that." Mitsuki stated in a manner that sounded more defeated than actually angry.

"Yeah I was just about to talk to him about it, go ahead and bring Bakugo over I'll convince him in the meantime." Inko sighed again realizing this was going to be a long night.

"Thanks." Mistuki ssaid as she hung up

"Izu, you know you have to give it back don't you? The bakugos said they would involve the police if you didn't and you would definitely get in trouble for quirk use in public as well as wait huh I don't there are any laws regarding the theft of quirks but I'm sure they could find something to pin on you." Inko explained to the child.

"But Mom he was being a bully with it, bullies shouldn't have powers if they are going to misuse them." The child explained so matter of factly that it honestly slightly disturbed the woman.

"Izuku you aren't the law you don't get to decide who does and who doesn't get to have quirks. Please don't fight me on this." The woman very clearly not liking how this conversation was going.

At first Izuku didn't want to give it back but the more he thought about the more he realized that she was right. "Alright Mom, I'll give it back but I'm gonna give conditions to Bakugo at the very least." Izuku said finally relenting.

It was another 30 minutes before the Bakugos pulled up outside of the apartment announcing themselves with a knock at the door. To which Inko went and opened it seeing all members of the Bakugo family in some form of distress or another. Masaru looking extremely scared, Mitsuki looked more annoyed than anything but the look at Katsuki was by the most disturbing he just looked dead, like a part of him was gone.

"I'm sorry we had to meet like this, please come in." Inko said while ushering them in.

Mitsuki was the first to speak, "I know we should be meeting under different circumstances and I'm being harsh on Izuku for what sounded like it was an accident but you gotta be aware a quirk like that, its gonna scare people Inko. Did he at least agree to give it back?"

"Yes, he did but he said it came with conditions, honestly I don't know what's gotten into him, he's never done anything like this." Inko stated

It was at that time that Izuku finally decided to speak. "Um I'd like to apologize for stealing his quirk I know it was wrong and I'll give it back but I want Bakugo to promise to not use it bully people before I give it back."

Bakugo cringed from hearing the boy say his name and not Kacchan for some reason that hurt him inside but then his fire returned. "You want me to stop being a villain you fucking freak? What kind of quirk lets somebody steal quirks. Your the villain here with a quirk that only lets them take things away from others." Everyone in the room was stunned not just by the language he used but for the sheer vitriol and venom dripping from the mouth of a 10 year old child.

Izuku was the first one to respond he just looked to his mother and said " See this is why I don't want to give it back, he's mean and cruel Mom just because he has some stupid flashy quirk. If he's going to be like that I'm not returning it."

The Bakugos just sighed and looked at each other Masaru finally deciding to speak "Izuku please, his quirk is really important to him and I really don't want to involve the police but I will if you don't give it back."

Izuku looked at all three of bakugos while pausing to think, Izuku had an idea so out of character, something so wrong, he wanted the quirk, he didn't want to have to give it up, it was his now. Izuku wanted more quirks, he hungered for them like some kind of irresistible pull, and then finally the boy had an idea. They don't know for certain that I'm even able to give quirks back I might only be able to take them, Izuku himself didn't know either but he felt like he could. Besides this is payback for 6 years of abuse, Bakugo can suffer for a bit. "Umm, I actually don't know if I can give quirks back I'm not even sure how I activated it in the first place." Which was technically a half truth as he had not intentionally activated his quirk Izuku thought to himself but he did indeed know how to do so again.

Masaru responded first "Well can you try giving it back to him at least Izuku? If you can't we can always try again later."

So Izuku 'Tried' to give Katsuki his quirk back and 'failed'. "I'm so sorry" he stammered "I don't think I can do it." Katsuki just deflated at those words he had never seen the boy look so dead but after what he did and said today he felt he more than deserved it. Hopefully with some time without a quirk he'll learn to be a better person although Izuku did feel a little guilty about but he figured he could just hold onto it for a few weeks before giving it back.

It was Mitsukis turn to chime in "Alright well we won't be calling the cops since this was an accident but please keep trying to find a way to give a quirk back Izuku. You know his quirk was everything to him and without it, well just look at him." Izuku cringed after seeing the look on bakugos face, maybe he should just give it back now. No, this will be a good learning experience for him Izuku finally decided, it's definitely not because I want to keep it or anything, he told himself. After 10 more seconds the bakugos marched out of the house with various looks of defeat etched onto their faces as they slowly marched out, Bakugo being the worst looking almost zombie like.

Inko just looked at her child in various levels of intrigue and fear realizing just what her son was capable of. "Izuku you must keep your quirk a secret honey, imagine what people will think of you if they found you can permanently rob them of their quirk with just a touch. Your quirk is extraordinary but also incredibly horrifying and when dealing with things like that it's best to handle with a level of caution alright dear? I will love you regardless but either way it's time for bed Izuku."

All Izuku did was say I love you in kind and walk off to bed but little did they know that this wouldn't be kept secret for very long.

The next morning

As Izuku made it to the school next morning for some reason everyone was giving him hushed looks and whispering behind his back. He was used to bullying and being made fun of but this was quite different. Confused he walked over to one of the other students in order to ask them what was going on. Only for said person to run away from him in abject fear screaming at him to not steal his quirk. Bakugo... Izuku realized he had told everyone and just like that he realized his mom was right he had a villains quirk and he was using it like a villain although he didn't have long to ponder about what he'd done as the school intercom blared interrupting his thoughts and declaring that Izuku Midoriya was to report to the principal's office immediately, just great Izuku thought to himself this day is just great so far. He sighed in defeat and walked off.

Once he had reached the principal's office he was called in fairly quickly and upon entering he saw 2 chairs seated in front of the desk one occupied by a very familiar spiky blond haired child sitting in it looking smug as fuck. Principal Nakihara just looked incredibly angry "Midoriya it has come to my attention that your quirk came in yesterday, and from what I've heard it seems like you used it to somehow steal Bakugo's quirk? I demand that you return it at once." Izuku hated this man, he had covered for Bakugo so many times because he was their "star" pupil, it sickened him, helping a villain get away with abusing people is the same as being the abuser in Izuku's mind.

Instead of voicing his opinions Izuku just sighed "Sir, I already had this talk with Bakugo's parents I have no idea how to return it or if I am even able to do so."

The principal then slammed his hands on the desk, "Then find a way Midoriya if his quirk isn't returned within 10 minutes I will be calling the police, you have robbed the future of one of our best and brightest, and if you cannot fix it then I swear to god I will bring the vengeance of the law down upon you."

Called it of course, had this man ever once went to bat for him? No he just scuffed everything that Bakugo did under the rug and now that Bakugo is the deku he's lashing out at me for it. He had 2 choices now give it back and they realize he was lying or don't and get the cops called it but Izuku is only 10 and he was literally quirkless until yesterday so there's no way i can get in trouble for that plus this little incident right here just proves even more than Bakugo Katsuki does not deserve his quirk, he's a villain, he's abused and hurt others ever since his quirk came in and now that he doesn't have it he's throwing a temper tantrum like a spoiled brat, like somebody took his favorite toy.

"I can try again sir but I really have no idea if I can do this." Izuku then went and faked another attempt at giving the boys quirk back and after 10 minutes of him 'trying' true to his word the principle called the police, not sure what he thought that was going to accomplish though. An hour of sitting while trapped in the Principal's office later two men walked into the room a gaunt skeleton of a man with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing some really tacky yellow suit and a much more normal looking man with black hair and what appeared to be a detectives badge, it was a strange combination to say the least.

The detective spoke first "Hello my name is Detective Naomasa Tskauchi." he said as he flashed his badge, "We came because of the incident of a child stealing another child's quirk, which of these two is the one who took the quirk? The principal responded by pointing at Izuku. "Is it okay if we talk to him in private for a bit? We would like to get his side of the story regarding the incident so may we borrow your office for a bit?" The principal merely nodded and gestured for Bakugo to leave the room.

The detective sat down in the chair opposite Izuku and began asking the boy questions. "So Izuku is it true that you took that boys quirk?"

"Yes" Izuku replied.

The detective made a mental note that was a truth and that meant he had another potential All for One on their hands or his potential involvement in this somehow and he couldn't tell which was worse to be honest. Then a second thought about how busy he was going to be the very near future.

"Second question, did you do it on purpose?" He asked to which the boy replied that he did not which also pinged as being true, that was some upside at least, the boy didn't actively try to steal another person's quirk.

"Third question, can you give the boy back his quirk?" The boy replied that he didn't know if he could which pinged as a lie. Well fuck, the boy already had a taste for extra quirks, and he doesn't want to give it back.

"Izuku my quirk lets me tell when people are lying and you just told a lie. Things are going to get very serious very soon if you do not tell me the truth about why you won't give him his quirk back." Izuku noticeably panicked at the drop of that bombshell of news.

"Um, alright but please believe me I had good intentions." Izuku stammered out.

Strangely enough that wasn't a lie the boy genuinely believed he was doing the right thing by not giving it back and that worried Tsukauchi somehow more than if it had been a lie, was the boy delusional or something?

His stammering continuing Izuku told them the whole story about how Bakugo Katsuki used his quirk to beat other students up and that he would've given the boy back his quirk if he had agreed on the condition that he stop bullying people. Izuku then went on to tell them about the seeming hunger of his quirk, it felt hungry if Izuku wanted to pick a word.

By the end of it the Detective was both equal parts relieved and appalled, at least this boy wanted to be a hero and not use his quirk to become the next dark overlord of the underworld. "Izuku while every single thing you just said was true I am slightly worried, you mentioned a compulsion? Can you fight against this compulsion or not?" The boy nodded just saying it was hard.

For the first time in the entire conversation the skeleton spoke "My name is Yagi Toshinori young Midoriya, I would like to ask a few questions? The main being why do you want to be a hero?"

Izuku paused as he thought for a bit."I really just want to save people with a smile like All Might, he's my favorite hero."

Yagi Toshinori winced as his name was brought up and he looked over at Tsukauchi to see a thumbs up indicating that the boy did not lie to him.

"That is commendable young Midoriya but what you did was akin to vigilantism the way you described it, you took the law into your own hands to deal with a threat and decided that he should not have a quirk, young Midoriya you are not the law, you are not even an adult yet, you are a 10 year old child with a very very strong quirk." Izuku quickly tried to refute the man saying he had every intention of returning the quirk in a week or two just to let the boy calm down another thumbs up from Tsukachi.

"Very well young Midoriya as the incident itself was an accident and you did have every intention of returning the quirk there will be no charges pressed but I stress that this should not occur again, next time we will not be as forgiving, just return the boy his quirk and all will be well." The skeleton making it clear that no such repeat offenses will be tolerated.

Izuku went from scared to worried to relieved in the matter of seconds, thanking his stars that he wouldn't be getting in trouble. Even though he had lied. "Um mister it might not be my place to ask but I can kind of sense quirks now, why do you have 7 different quirks? They look like strings each with their own unique characteristics which I can pull on to take them, yours is very weird it's all wispy and has 7 different strings of varying color and shape." the boy asked looking straight at Toshinori.

To which Toshinori visibly freaked out at the question. He gave a look to Tsukauchi and decided that this boy needed to now since he will likely be targeted by Him in the future because of his quirk.

"Alright young Midoriya as there is a high chance that you will be involved in this in the future I am going to tell you something, you must swear not to reveal anything I am about to say, do you understand?" The boy gulped in response and then nodded. Toshinori buffed up appearing in his All Might form. "Young Midoriya, my quirk is called One for All, it is a sacred torch passed down through the generations, and I am it's eighth user. The quirk is 2 different quirks combined although it appears they're may be remnants of the others in the quirk based off of what you just said. Any way the first is the quirk to stockpile power which is why One for all gets stronger with each generation and the second is the quirk to pass on quirks. You're probably wondering why I'm telling you all this my boy? Well it is because those two quirks were combined by anothers quirk, one who can give and take quirks just like yourself my boy. This man is the overlord of darkness he has always hidden in the shadows and he has been around for over 200 years now. You get it right? The ability to just take quirks as one pleases, a quirk to stop aging perhaps? This man has a love for power and uses his abilities to take and control, although I finally defeated him one year prior which is where I got this injury of mine my boy. I'm sure you understand why we were so worried when we first came in here." Finishing his story All might deflated back into his true form.

Izuku couldn't believe his eyes, he had been talking to All Might this whole time and he was just trying to make sure they didn't have another lord of darkness on their hands, it finally clicked for him just how dangerous his quirk was. "All Might I need to ask, can I be a hero with this quirk? A villains quirk?"

All Might just laughed. "Boy no quirk is villainous, quirks are simply tools to be used and with yours i'd say you could become one of the best heroes of all times using it. " Izuku was shocked his idol told him he could be the new number 1 so he did the only thing natural to him and he broke down crying.

"Young Midoriya this was an enlightening conversation but what if I said I had a proposition for you? Would you like to be trained by me? And as it so happens I have the perfect way for you to use your quirk completely legally and it would be beneficial to the police provided you follow through and actually return young Bakugo's quirk." After hearing that he couldn't contain himself he ran out the door slapped Bakugos hand and ran back into the room screaming "YES" at the top of his lungs. This was the origin of the pro hero All for None.

Chapter Text

Today began like any other day oh wait no it didn't Izuku thought I'm about to train with the number 1 pro hero and cement his path to being a pro hero himself. It was the day after the incident with Bakugo's quirk All Might had asked Izuku to meet him dagobah beach at 6am. Izuku never spoke to Bakugo again, Izuku was out of school for a bit, but he needed to find a new one as quickly as possible since ya know everyone either hated him or were terrified of him. On the bright side All Might told the school that if any single person talked about Izuku's real quirk or made any attempt to track him down that they would bring to bear the full brunt of his legal team down upon whoever had been foolish enough to talk about it. It now being a government secret this would be tantamount to treason. In addition it seems due to Tsukauchi's lie detection quirk Bakugo got his first real mark on his unblemished record. The Principal was obviously angry his star pupil had a mark on his record now but he realized that fighting the Number 1 hero was a fool's errand and reluctantly agreed warning the other students that even mentioning Izuku Midoriya's name would be met with expulsion.

With his secret hopefully under lock and key. Izuku was beaming as he put his shoes on, he had the phone number of All Might, he was going to be trained by All Might, and he was going to get as many quirks as he wanted. Izuku firmly believed that his life was finally turning around and with a bright smile on his face he stepped out of the door.

The smile had dwindled a little when he arrived at the beach in question, was all of this a prank cause I'm pretty sure this is a garbage dump. He had arrived at exactly 5:59 am 1 minute before All Might had told Izuku to meet him and Izuku could see head nor tail of the man until a yellow flash jumped down in front of him. Izuku assumed the man had been hiding on the top of one of the piles of garbage but that honestly didn't matter because now the number 1 hero stood before him, it hadn't been a prank after all. Izuku smiled to himself.

"It's alright now, Why? Because I am here!" All Might exclaimed doing his signature catchphrase and then not so signature deflating into a shriveled husk of a man and coughing out blood.

Izuku grew pale at the sight. "Are you okay All Might?"

All Might simply replied" I'm alright my boy, it has been a year since my injury and I am more than accustomed to it by this point. Anyway how did you sleep young midoriya?"

"Not very well honestly, I was too excited to sleep, I mean training with you? People would kill in order to have this chance." he replied.

"Just prove yourself to me my boy and you have no need to repay me, you have already proven yourself once by returning that boys quirk." All Might replied but noticed Midoriya looking rather sheepish

"Um All Might I need to ask a question it's been really eating at me." Saying nothing All Might gestured for the boy to go on.

"Did you offer to train me only because you're worried ill be the next All for One? I just I don't know ... I don't want you be training me because you are afraid of me, I guess." Izuku couldn't look the man in the eyes while he said this.

All Might paused for a second before responding "No my boy you have nothing in common with that vile evil. I had no doubt you would become a hero all your own but I wished to ease the process as much as possible since as it stands you are basically quirkless, and we need to find you a source of quirks my boy, while I am slightly hesitant to give you more power it is as I said it is not the quirk that makes one evil, what if I went around destroying buildings and cratering people, suddenly would I have a villainous quirk?" Midoriya nodding along but secretly very glad.

"Now as for actually helping you with obtaining quirks it's actually quite simple really, were going to have you take the quirks of criminals, death row inmates or those with life sentences. In this way you are both helping society by removing the quirks of dangerous people who should not have such tools while also providing you with tools of your own, however I would recommend picking one quirk in particular to be your 'actual' quirk my boy."

Izuku was confused "Didn't you say it was bad that I did that literally yesterday All Might?"

"Ah yes but it was that very same idea that inspired me to create my own version of it, keeping Bakugo's quirk from him in order to help society is wrong but why is that." Not allowing Izuku a chance to speak "The difference young Midoriya is young Bakugo was not an actual criminal yet, but murderers? Rapists? Serial killers? These are all people locked up for committing heinous evil crimes and society would be better off if they did not have any sort or power or quirk, you can even give them a chance to reintegrate into society by removing their quirk and if they turn over a new leaf you can return the quirk to them. It's quite ingenious if I do say so myself, a win-win for everybody involved, we sate your quirks hunger so we don't have to worry about you lashing out, villains are given a chance, and society itself is safer." All Might finished his speech and Izuku was in awe that his idea could be used in such a manner.

"So when do we start?" the boy asked. "Well young Midoriya as you do need a quirk to hide your own safely I have picked out a relatively safe one for you to start with, if you are free today after school I can pick you up and we can drive to the location I have detective Tsukauchi waiting for us. I won't spoil the surprise of the quirk you'll be getting as I believe it'll be more fun this way. However you are going to have to prove to me that you can be trusted as I will not be giving you any more quirks for a while, think of it as a trial run, the person in question is set to be released in 4 years. If you can go that long taking no other quirks and giving his quirk back at the end of the trial run it will become a weekly thing, in the mean time to sate your quirk we will have you take your mothers quirk then give it back. Does this sound agreeable to you young Midoriya?" The boy understood how big of a risk All Might was taking for him, he truly believed in him and he would never let the man down.

"Yes sir."

"Although first, there is something I wish to test out young Midoriya, can you try taking my quirk? All for One was unable too and I wish to see if your quirk is similar to his." Izuku merely nodded and tried to pull at the strings, the wispy things just kept twisting themselves out of his grasp over and over again, after 10 minutes of not being able to take it Izuku gave up. "So it really is the same quirk, young Midoriya I must ask who are your parents?"

Izuku paused for a moment not wanting to divulge his family situation but relented. "My father works oversees his quirk lets him breath fire, I haven't seen him since I was 4 he left after I was diagnosed quirkless, I haven't heard from him since. He still sends us money every month though. My mother on the other hand can pull small objects to herself, honestly I have no idea why I have All for One."

All Might paused in contemplation a moment before responding again. "You could perhaps be a great great descendant of All for One it's an amazing quirk in over 200 years no one has any quirk even remotely similar to it. Maybe you were simply lucky and some gene in you let you acquire his quirk, or it could've been a random mutation, such things happen but since we have no way to tell let's not dwell on it."

"Alright then, now we train the first thing we will be building is your endurance then when you are older we can begin your real training. We're going for a run young Midoriya, oh I forgot to mention I need to keep you close as part of our deal so I had to transfer you to a new school district, it's a very good private school. One that can be trusted with our secrets, I will be funding your schooling for you and before you worry about the money do remember I am the Number 1 Hero, I have more money than I could care to do with. Consider it a gift from me for investing in the next symbol of Peace, even though I do not intend to pass my quirk onto you, you will be great regardless my boy."

Izuku started crying really this was the best All Might was the best, he knew he would need to find a new school and All Might went ahead and did it for him "Yes sir, I won't let you down, however what should I tell my mom?."

"Tell her the truth my boy the number 1 hero is training you to become the best and that your a worthy investment." Izuku broke down even more.

"Geez kid you could stand to cry less ya know?" He knew throwing himself at All Might and hugging the gaunt skeleton of a man. Toshinori wouldn't admit it but he already cared for the boy.

Toshinori ended up driving Izuku to his new school, he was kind of surprised the number 1 drove such a shitty car but then again I guess it worked as let the man remain incognito, after all who was going to guess that THE number 1 hero drove a beat up station wagon.

All Might handed him a backpack halfway through the drive, confused Izuku opened it finding it had a ton of school supplies in it and one of his Hero Analysis books, number 10 to be exact. "I knew you were going to need supplies as you would likely not have the required materials for this school. All Might stated matter of Factly "and Oh why don't you open the first page of that book my boy. Izuku confused but did as he was told and it was signed by All Might, he couldn't believe how much his life changed in the span of a day. He was truly blessed.

After a good 30 minute drive they came within viewing distance of the school Izuku was shocked the school was absolutely massive and he realized that he was now in the rich part of town. Izuku imagined the price to go to this school was astronomical. The golden plaque outside the school read "Somei Private Academy" he thought the name sounded familiar but he wasn't 100% on that. He and All Might (in his skeletal form) walked up to the gates and they had to press a button and talk through a intercom to be let in, apparently you needed a keycard to get in normally honestly Izuku was shocked at the level of security being employed by this school but he thought I guess that's just how rich people do things. Especially when you can be ransomed off for ridiculous amounts of money Izuku thought to himself darkly.

Finally inside All Might dropped Izuku off at the teachers lounge where he met his homeroom teacher a woman with jet black hair and a very female office worker kinda vibe going on. She introduced herself as Ms. Yaoyarozu, which was a mouthful to say the least, apparently he was going to be in the same class his daughter was in and that she hoped they got along as her daughter was kind of a loner due to previous situations she had been through. Izuku just nodded and said he would do his best.

Once he finally got to the room he was forced to introduce himself and he managed to royally fuck that up he thought when we stammered out a name that sounded nothing like his own and a bunch of the students laughed at him for it extremely embarrassing himself in the span of literally 5 seconds the day went from being amazing to awful as one particularly loud blonde kid shouted about how student of this supreme academy ought to be able to handle himself in a public setting, he just ignored the guy and went to seat where he finally noticed what must've been ms. Yaoyorozu's daughter because she looked like a carbon copy of their teacher just aged down a lot, thankfully she seemed to be ignoring him until he sat down.

Yaoyorozu? Spoke. "Don't worry about him he's an absolute buffoon, rich people that, best class of people that. He looks down on everyone." The girl spit out that last bit, she apparently had no like for this boy.

Izuku was a bit surprised at first that a girl was willing to talk to him since none ever had before. "Oh well um thanks...?" Izuku let the end of that drag out.

"Momo Yaoyorozu, the jerks name is Monoma. What about you?" The girl noticed that the small scared green haired child in front of her did not resemble the wealthy elite at all and she briefly wondered how he got into this school.

"Izuku Midoriya, it's nice to meet you Yaoyorozu." The boy beamed at her.

Well he seemed nice enough she thought. "Likewise."

The rest of the day passed uneventfully, that is until lunch. Izuku had just procured his favourite Katsudon, before looking around the cafeteria. He saw Yaoyorozu by herself and he decided that she seemed nice enough so he went to go sit down with her. "Hello Yaoyorozu, do you mind if I sit here?" Izuku noticed everyone staring at him like he was an idiot.

The girl simply shrugged, he seemed innocent enough then again so did everybody else. "You may."

"Thanks, it's super hard joining in the middle of the year when everyone already has their friend circles." He rubbed the back of his head, getting kinda weirded out by the fact the cafeteria had gone nearly silent but Izuku could feel the stares boring into the back of his head. Doing his best to ignore them. "So what's your quirk Yaoyorozu?"

The girl visibly shook when he asked that. "Oh i'm sorry I didn't realize it was a personal thing, you don't have to tell me."

The girl looked like she was deliberating something before finally responding. "No it's fine my quirk is called Creation, I can make any non organic material as long as I know the chemical makeup and I have enough lipids to generate the item in question." Izuku watched her make a small metal rod appear from her hand.

Izuku froze, that was the single coolest quirk he had ever heard of. He felt the familiar hunger in his chest but he determinedly shut it down. "Holy shit that's amazing Yaoyorozu, there are so many ways to use that. Do you mind if I ask some questions?" Izuku was about to be lost in his world but then he realized people were still staring at him and he could ignore it no longer. "Actually instead Yaoyorozu why are they all staring at me?" He whispered to the girl.

"It's because of me most likely, the last guy who tried to sit next to me I kicked in the crotch." Yaoyorozu looked pained to Izuku when she said that.

"Oh um do I need to worry?" Everyone around him was still staring and it was getting unnerving.

"That has yet to be seen Midoriya. So tell me why did you transfer here from out of nowhere, in the middle of the semester." The girl then shot a look to everyone in the cafeteria. They all slowly but surely returned to their own conversations.

"Oh well I kinda got ... bullied a lot, it wasn't safe for me there." Izuku was hoping he didn't sound that pathetic.

Yaoyorozu look puzzled. "Weird who would hurt such a cinnamon bun. It'd be like kicking a puppy."

"Oh well um ya know, it just kinda happened and I refused to fight back so they just kept using me as a punching bag." God please don't let this girl think hes a loser too.

"Well I'm sorry to hear that Midoriya, I'll do my best to make sure no one here does anything like that."

"... Thanks Yaoyorozu, so why did you kick that guy in the dick?" Izuku watched as Yaoyorozu sputtered out milk while giggling, Izuku didn't think he had said anything funny.

Yaoyorozu looked at the confused look on Midoriya for a moment before swallowing what milk she still had and answering. "I knew it, you aren't a wealthy elite are you? We wouldn't be caught dead using any language as crass as that and it's the second time you've done so."

"Oh I see, is there anything else I should know?" Izuku blushed a bit clearly out of his depth.

The girl just laughed. "No offense Midoriya, but the etiquette they teach us takes years to learn. Besides I like you more this way, it's way more refreshing talking to someone who isn't stuffy all the time. Also if you wanted to know why I kicked him in the ...dick. He was acting like a complete fool, he came over and attempted to court me. His advances... were unwelcome to say the least."

Izuku was quickly learning to not get on Yaoyorozu's bad side but he had a bit of an idea. "Is the commoner already being a bad influence on the young miss? We wouldn't want them to corrupt such a noble young lady." Izuku drew out his haughtiest impression. Thankfully his horrid impression of nobility only seemed to make her laugh more.

Momo finally managed to recover from laughing. "Well if your going to act like that I may at least give you a few tips. With utensils you start from the outside and move in. As for why we have 10 utensils that's because nobility was stupid."

It was at that moment Izuku realized he was going to like it here.

Izuku was sitting in the passenger seat of All Mights shitty station wagon wondering where they were going. As it turns out Izuku was going to be having his mind blown a lot today, besides talking to a girl for the first time in years he was being taken to Tartarus, The Tartarus. Izuku was pretty certain you had to convicted of least a felony if not murder to get landed in here. Wait a minute Izuku realized what if it all was a lie and All Mights just tossing him in here, no, no, theres no way All Might would do that to him. That meant whoevers quirk he was taking must've done some really bad things All Might wasn't joking when he they were going to be using his quirk to better society and in some ways he was already being a hero. After the like 5th security check and the constant questioning of why a 10 year old boy was with the number 1 hero. They found Tsukauchi waiting for them outside an interrogation room, Tsukauchi just gave the pair a nod and greeted them.

"So how are we doing this?" Izuku asked inquisitively.

Detective Tsukauchi responded dryly "The person inside is responsible for 2nd degree murder, his quirk was used during the murder even if it isn't a really offensive quirk it still counts. They swear it was unintentionally but there was evidence to prove otherwise, since his crime is relatively light as well as having a more appropriate quirk compared to the other people he was chosen for this test. I doubt you have heard of the villain as they were relatively unknown, with no priors and no other crimes, they don't even have a villain name, he is set to be released in 4 years having served 16 of his 20 year sentence, only if he remains obedient though, at which time you will return the quirk. We have chosen this one specifically for multiple reasons, returning of a quirk after you become attached to it, its relatively harmless and finally ease of use, for the next 4 years this will be your 'quirk', are you ready Midoriya?" Izuku merely nodded. "Good, he is bound and gagged to protect your identity, just walk in and take it as soon as you are ready." The detective held the door open for them and motioned for them to enter. He saw a man in the standard orange jumpsuit used by most prisons with a black bag over his head and cuffs on his hands, Izuku walked up and hesitantly raised his hand toward the person.

The detective then looked at All Might then back to the child, he was uneasy with this whole thing he really didn't think loading up a potential new All for One with more and more powerful quirks was a good idea but he had to trust All Might on this, and he had to admit being able to permanently remove the quirks of inmates would make transporting them so much easier and hopefully with this arrangement the boy is less likely to become the next All for One.

"Just go ahead and do it." the Detective said dryly.

"Whenever you are ready my boy." All Might gave the boy a heads up

Izuku finally touched the handcuffed man on the shoulder and that was that Izuku felt the new quirk flow into him. Izuku was briefly registering pain as he felt his eyes change and when he looked back towards the hero and detective duo they shuddered for a second. Toshinori started "My boy, are you alright? Your eyes umm changed." He looked to Tsukauchi. "I thought you said it would be harmless and easy to use, not change his eye color and hurt the boy."

Tsukauchi realized his error. "Izuku are you alright, I didn't realize the reason the man's' eyes looked they way they did was because of his quirk."

Izuku just winced as he opened his eyes tentatively, everything felt more alive so to speak he could so much more and while it was disorenting at first he was adaptly quickly. Realizing the other two were worried about him "I'm fine thank you detective and All Might, I was just having trouble adjusting to it at first, wait what did you say about my eyes?" Tsukauchi just sheepishly pulled out his phone and Izuku use it to see himself, his eyes had turned completely black no irises just black sclera, it was kind of unsettling if he was being honest. "How are we supposed to hide this? Eye color doesn't just change overnight" he said.

"Well we can fix that and it's my fault so I'll front the cost, we will just get you some halloween lenses to return your eyes to their natural color." the detective said apologetically.

"Well that's fine then I guess, um so can we talk somewhere more privately?" Izuku asked pointing at the man.

"Don't worry" the detective replied, "He cannot hear a word we're saying but sure let's go to a different room to talk about this." As they left the room a prison guard came in and took the villain away, they simply moved to the next interrogation room over.

"Well I'd to apologize again Izuku." the detective said sheepishly. "I'll be more careful in my selection in the future, don't worry this won't happen again, so tell me how are the eyes, the quirk was called Ultra Sight. It lets the user change between 6 different visions apparently there is some strain on your eyes if you use one of the enhanced visions for too long but other than that it is quite a safe quirk. In case you were wondering the 6 different visions are Thermal, Radiation, Night, Zoom, BlackLight, and a form of x ray vision that lets you see through walls but it apparently only let you see silhouettes of living things to about 30ft out. All in all its a very versatile quirk, it should be perfect you to practice with." Tsukauchi finished his brief explanation unaware of what was about to occur due to the information dump he had just dropped on midoriya

Izuku paused for just a second before exploding into a torrent of incomprehensible words

"omgitssocoolicanusethissomuchandeventhoughitsnotacombatquirkithassomuchversatilityforexampledoesitworklikeregularnightvisionmeaningitdoesntworkincompletedarknesscanichangethesensitivityofthelighthowfardoeszoomletmeseewhatdoesthermallooklike-"

All Might being absolutely blown away by the sight before his eyes wondering if his love of quirks is a natural thing or is it because of his quirk causing him to yearn for quirks? Either way he needed this to stop. "Midoriya my boy calm yourself, can you even breathe?"

Izuku stopped his muttering and meekly apologized "I'm sorry quirks just really excite me ya know? There's so much you can do with them."

All Might nodded "I can understand its like gaining a new part of yourself I suppose but do remember as of right now that's a temporary loan, if the man messes up further it may become permanent but this is just until high school at UA where we can reveal the full function of your quirk, that reminds me, surprise."

Izuku froze All Might had handed him a letter and on it were the two Golden letters U.A., Izuku paused once more "There's no way this is what I think it is right?"

"Well go ahead and open it my boy." Izuku did and it was, it was a recommendation letter to U.A. signed by All Might and the Principal of U.A. if he wanted to he was already accepted he didn't even have to take the recommendation exam in fact it is encouraged he doesn't due to the nature of his quirk, the principal does wish to meet up with Izuku before he can actually enroll at the school to learn about him and his personality first hand. Honestly, it was more of a formality than anything for all intensive purposes he has been accepted into U.A. at the age of 10, Izuku can feel just how badly the school/government don't want to let him become a villain, its as if they're saying we'll do whatever you want to help just don't into something evil, which kind of soured his feelings of accomplishment but he decided to just say fuck it and roll with it, if they are going to give me privileges might as well use them. He jumped forward pulling the number 1 into an intense embrace thanking the man for everything he's done for him.

As Izuku returned home with the pair of contact lenses Tsukauchi had gotten for him and Izuku sauntered into the living room, he wanted to show his new eyes to his mother to let her know it's all going to be okay now, he hadn't had the chance to tell her everything that happened after all.

"Mom, I'm back." he called into the house, his mother appeared and pulled him into a hug.

"Honey, I got a call from All Mights secretary about him taking you on as his successor, I'm so proud of you honey your going to do great. Oh, what happened to your eyes dear?" she stopped staring deep into the black abyss that were his eyes now.

"It's my trial quirk." he responded brightly. "I can see all kinds of things now, through the walls, in the dark, great distances, I can even see heat signatures. It's an amazing quirk!"

Inko was a little shocked she didn't expect her son to be given another quirk so soon but she realized why it had happened so fast after Izuku explained that he needed to have a 'quirk' of his own. "Did All Might get it for you?" she questioned

"Yeah, I'm already using my quirk to help people mom it's great, I took the quirk of a murderer so he can't use it to hurt people anymore. Oh and on top of that I've already been accepted into U.A. I just have to meet the principal first" Izuku explained to his mother.

Inko did not like that her son was using the quirk of a known murderer but she guessed it was okay since All Might himself had set it up. "Oh, Izu i'm so proud of you." She nuzzled into him. "In honor of your first quirk we're having katsudon tonight honey."

Izuku just shut down, this is literally the best day of his life no questions asked.

After he finished dinner and went to bed he lay in bed thinking. Alright Izuku, we just gotta go 4 years without stealing a quirk, get caught using any additional quirks he receives, keep up my training with All Might, study my ass off, impress one of the most terrifying beings on this planet, and overall just don't fuck something up. Shouldn't be too hard he thought to himself and he drifted off to sleep.

Notes:

I reworked this one as well and I'm much happier with both chapters now, I hope you all like the changes I made. Chapter 3 should be coming in the next few days.

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 3: When life throws you lemons curveball the fuckers back into orbit

Summary:

2 year time skip and the plan changes a bit, or a lot but meh symmantics

Chapter Text

2 years have passed since the blessing that is All Might has entered Izuku's life and he's never been happier, the man has easily done more for him than anyone else has. He wouldn't say it to the man's face but Izuku is starting to see him like a father figure, much more so than his real father. If Izuku could even call that waste of space such. He's such a good runner now, he has friends, he has a goal, he has people in his corner, he's never had that other than his Mom but everybody knows that doesn't really count.

So when the man gave Izuku a last minute text to meet with him in the middle of the night Izuku didn't hesitate. He throws his shoes on and runs out the house, his eyes quickly shifting hue as they hummed activating in the dark allowing him to see down dark alleyways safely. After all he doesn't want to get caught by some villain or a homeless person but he does want to get to the beach as quickly as possible.

When he finally stumbles upon the dump of a beach that forever changed his life, easily spotting All Might after turning off night vision and turning on thermal. He walked up to the man, quickly announcing his arrival as to not startle him. "All Might!"

The gaunt man turned and gave a simple smile. "Young midoriya it is good to see you, even though I suppose I saw you for our run this morning as well. There have been some ... developments my boy." His face turned sour, "Although it is earlier than expected you are needed to return those eyes this weekend, the man in question got out of his 20 year sentence 2 years early for being on good behaviour. I know it was always going to be this way but hey on the bright side we can start having you obtain more quirks sooner rather than later, and we will no longer need to have you keep taking your mothers quirk." Toshinori looked rather disappointed by this news for some reason but Izuku could only see this as positive news, he already knew he would lose the eyes after all but he can start getting so much more now.

"Umm isn't this good news All Might? It means we can start earlier than intended." Izuku was puzzled to say the least.

"True it is, but I figured you would take this news worse, I can tell how happy those eyes made you but if you are not saddened by it. Then I have no reason to be either Young Midoriya." All Might said after re inflating into his Hero Form. "If you are okay with it than I will schedule the meeting the same way we did the first time on this upcoming saturday, but it won't be all sad my boy, after all we can immediately get you a new quirk." He said flashing his trademark All Might Style, before deflating. "I'll even tell you what, you get to pick this one my boy, I'll have Tsukauchi make a list for you. That reminds me did you ever figure out why the quirk was so much weaker for you than it was for the original user?" All Might asked.

The boy tilted his head "I had a few theories but i'll need more quirks to test it out to get a final verdict on that, my most likely theory is that my body isn't suited for the quirk and so it's worse for me than it was for the original owner, after they had their entire lives to use the quirk and I only had it for 2 years, I have a feeling that if I have a quirk for long enough my body would become just as suited to it as the original owner. This is probably especially true for mutation quirks like Ultra Sight, i'm essentially adding another limb to my body, a foreign entity, most bodies would reject that the fact that mine doesn't is already a blessing in disguise. Plus I don't think it'll take as long for non mutation quirks but like I said this was all just a guess anyway." he threw his hands up dismissively. "By the way how's your search for a successor going?"

All Might paled he had truthfully been putting it off as he really didn't want to stop being the symbol of peace but he knew he would have to eventually. " It's... going, I know I need to hurry up and find another successor, after all i'm down to 5 hours." He paused. "You would've been perfect you know that my boy? Are you sure you truly don't want it?"

Izuku just shook his head, "I've already told you i've been blessed with the world's strongest quirk, I don't need that kind of power, even if it would've been kind of poetic for All for One and One for All reuniting to become one quirk again. I just think that the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" holds some merit, if I become that powerful I would basically be a god at that point and I don't want that responsibility. I've been thinking about what kind of hero I want to be and I decided I'm going to be an underground hero. It's better suited to keeping my quirk secret after all, even though the world will know about my quirk one day, i'd like to avoid a face to my quirk ya know? Imagine how annoying it would be if the world knew both who I was and what my quirk was, i'd be stalked everywhere, people would beg and or worship me to give them quirks and I'd honestly rather avoid that."

All Might looked disappointed by the answer but ultimately he agreed. "Well my boy just know you would've been great and I still want your blessing for who we give my quirk too." He smiled back at the boy. "Alright I've kept you long enough I will see you tomorrow at noon, i'll be swinging by in my car make sure your ready my boy."

By the next morning Izuku had received a list of death row or life sentence inmates all with powerful quirks, said list was rather short with there only being 3 on it and he was only going to get 1 to become his first official quirk but that was fine with him. The first was from a mass murderer by the name of Moonfish, he had 15 life sentences apparently avoiding the death penalty due to mental insanity, he had slaughtered, cannibalized, and ripped his victims to shreds with his super teeth. This quirk seemed very strong but ultimately very just wrong, he knew villainous quirks weren't a thing due to All Might but he also didn't want this quirk that had literally been used to rip people to shreds, so this one is a no go.

The second was a quirk that let him control any fire within a 60ft radius, it had been used by the criminal nicknamed "Combustion" he had apparently used it to burn multiple homes to the ground using the fine control of his quirk to prevent the people inside from escaping. It seems the man had a burning desire to listen to the screams of the dying and damned, at least according to the psychological profile written on this sheet. Izuku couldn't understand the logic and he was glad he couldn't, he would never want to be compared to someone like this. At the very least this one was much less off, since the number 2 was a fire user himself.

The third and final quirk option was probably the best of the bunch, it was called jetstream. The person who had it could produce blasts of air from their hands that reached over 200 mph, the user had apparently been using it to blast around stealing and murdering. The detectives said that the person in question had injected trigger for the first time and during the high she was on from the drug went on some crazy joyride. She was caught during her non stomp rampage, so she wasn't a serial murderer like the other two but she had clearly just hit a point in life where she said fuck it and went out with a bang. What was that song, "Better to burn out than fade away?" Either way Izuku was going to take this one, mobility and power, it was a very versatile quirk.

All that's left is too wait for All Might, it was around 11:30 so it shouldn't be much longer. His Mom meanwhile was pacing back and forth, understandably worried about her son going into a prison.

"Mom, it'll be okay, I've been there before and All Might will be with me." Izuku said doing his best to give a convincing smile.

"I know honey, but any mother would be worried for her child walking into a maximum security prison." She looked like she was about to start crying but before she could Izuku just hugged her whispering how everything would be okay and he would have All Might him.

His Mother thankfully calmed down before the waterworks started."Alright, just please be safe."

"I will mom, I love you." and with that he walked out the house and into the waiting car of All Might.

"We need to stop meeting like this Toshinori-san." Izuku Quipped

"Pssh my boy, I don't know what you mean." He chuckled smiling back. "So have you decided which one you will be taking? You will only be getting one after all."

"Yes I have, I'll be taking Jetstream. The teeth one scares me and fire is just to destructive, i'd rather have the versatility and safety of Jetstream." He said

Toshinori Paused while thinking and stroking his chin. "Yes, that does make sense, but are you sure you don't want all of them?"

"Is that an option? I mean I would if I could but I feel like i'm still on the training wheels and they dont trust me enough." he mused "I'll just do what i'm told for now and once I've proven myself I'll be more demanding." Beaming with that damned smile he got whenever he thought about quirks.

"If it's any consolation you've proven yourself to me so many times over my boy." All Might said thoughtfully. "Just keep being yourself and they will warm up to you." Deciding to spend the rest of the car ride in companionable silence.

The second trip to tartarus was quite like the first, a bunch of questionings and stops where both All Might in his buff form and a small child walked behind him.

They found detective Tsukauchi by the gate this time instead of by the interrogation room, it seemed he was standing there ready to escort them in.

"Greetings, I hope you're both doing well." He smiled at the pair. "Are you ready to return the quirk Izuku?" As he looked to the boy

"Yes, Sir. Even if its a bit sudden I don't mind I already knew I'd lose it at some point" He tried to give his best determined look

The detective noticed that his quirk told him that was a truth and was greatly relieved, maybe this boy will turn out as good as it seemed like he would. "Good follow me then, it will be the same set up as last time, you are simply going to go in give the quirk and walk out, does that sound good?"

Izuku simply nodded following behind the man and they soon reached the interrogation room they used last time, the detective throwing the door open and holding it open for the boy.

Izuku for all his credit simply walked back over to the figure in an orange jumpsuit, he noticed their build and skin color had changed slightly, eh must just be prison life. Izuku walked up to the man and pumped his quirk back into them. The person in question began twitching and freaking out, but the spasms only lasted for a brief few seconds and the figure readjusted. Izuku kind of felt bad about doing that considering he knew exactly how it felt, especially since he was currently in the process of readjusting to having his old eyes back, it felt like a part of him left, it made him sad, empty, like a lost limb willingly given.

Tsukauchi just stood with a smirk, he was impressed the boy showed zero hesitation giving up the quirk, he knew he had made the right choice right then and there, he strode into the room "Congrats, you've passed the test." the detective said.

Izuku for all his credit just looked confused. "Uh, sir what test?"

"Your final test, All Might has been vouching for you all this time and you've finally proven it, you are worthy of becoming a hero. You were so ready so able to just toss aside a power that we quite frankly had no legal way to take back or punish you for wanting to keep it. There aren't exactly any laws about the theft of a quirk, and you were given express permission by a pro to use your quirk as well. So we had quite literally no legal standing as to prevent you from just saying "I'm keeping the quirk." but I'm glad you didn't." He strode over and removed the bag over the prisoners head and then he removed the bindings on his arms and plugs in his ears. "May I introduce you to the police commissioner Kenji Tsuragame."

Izuku was blown away, had he just gave the police commissioner a quirk? Sure enough on the face of the dog head before him Izuku saw the same black voidless empty eyes that Izuku had minutes before. "I'm still confused, I know this was a test but I'd thought it was a test already?"

The police commissioner spoke "Ah well you see we had to be doubly sure, by forcing this choice on you out of nowhere and making you give up something you were promised to have for longer it would have made more sense for you to lash out and complain and never once did you do so. I am impressed at your strength of will, even though as you put it your quirks call to you, your want to have them but you were so ready so able to give them up when asked, this was our final test, congratulations Izuku Midoriya you have passed and here is your reward, everything. Please take your eyes back first though, they are very uncomfortable for me when combined with my other senses."

Izuku went to take the eyes back feeling the initial pain recede and the familiar humming return, still not quite understanding what exactly he meant by everything. "Sir what do you mean by everything?"

Kenji spoke "If you refused to return it, it would be the end, if you hesitated to return it you would still get the quirk you asked for, but by showing you can overpower your desires, you can have all 3 quirks that were listed as options, its as simple as that, oh and I have one other surprise." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card. "It's a provisional license but a special one, you can only act when directly told to do so, otherwise you technically would be breaking the law by taking quirks. I'm letting the first time slide as it was All Might who instructed you to act but from now on it will not matter what hero tells you to act, that being said this is more of a technicality than anything but its a step forward, congratulations Midoriya you have proven a level of self sacrifice, control, and many other qualities a hero would need."

"But Sir, what happened to the man who I took Ultra Sight from? Doesn't he still need these eyes back." Izuku was reeling from the news he was having dropped on him.

Hmph the dog humphed "I would think not, he is currently going to spend the rest of his life in jail, he assaulted and murdered another inmate with a shiv he created out of a toothbrush after said inmate called him a quirkless reject. Izuku felt kind of bad about that since he's the reason the man didn't have a quirk but eh I'd been called a quirkless reject so many times and I never killed anyone over it. "That happened about a year ago, we apologize for not informing you Midoriya but we wanted the test to move forward as normally as possible and congratulations you've passed with flying colors."

"Congratulations, you've earned it." All Might said grinning at the boy.

Izuku in his dumbstruck state didn't even realize that this was why All Might had looked so uncomfortable the night before. Izuku was being led from interrogation room to interrogation room taking quirks as he went but after the 2nd quirk something started to feel wrong, figuring it would pass momentarily he proceeded to take moonfishes quirk. Instead of the pain passing it intensified greatly his head felt positively on fire, he wasn't sure what was wrong but it was like a migraine from hell. People around started taking notice but he didn't care he just felt so wrong, he just wanted it to stop, the only solace Izuku had was that the pain was so great it was making him pass out, the last thing he saw was his skeleton mentor before he blacked out.

The first thing he noticed was rhythmic beeping, the second the color of the ceiling was now bright white a large contrast compared to dull grey he remembers from before, the third is the massive splitting headache occurring right now, as the colors start to form coherent images, he can hear the grayed out voices of those around him freaking out, he hears static and he then blurrily passes out again.

He dreams of many bright stripes, things he wishes to reach out and grab, bright lights and colorful pictures contrasting with a black void.

The next time he wakes it's much more peaceful the roaring pain has receded into a dull pain, much more manageable than it was before, painkillers he figures. He sits up trying to focus and bring the world around him into picture, the last thing he remembers is taking Moonfishes quirk before everything felt wrong, maybe this is what drove the man to do what he did. Izuku isn't sure but finally the world around him makes sense, he can see a green mop of hair very similar to his own as well as a familiar gaunt man with yellow hair, he even recognizes a girl with jet black hair and an overly familiar attitude of caring while also not caring.

The image focuses and he lets them know he's up "Hi guys." he says weakly.

All 3 of them rush over to the bed to make sure he's all right, but they make sure to only talk in whispers.

"Hey Mom, guess it wasn't alright after all." He jokes weakly and the woman begins tearing up.

"I told you I didn't like it honey, I'm just glad you're alright." Inko spoke as she hugs her child.

"Midoriya my boy, Can you explain what happened? Once second you were fine the next you were screaming in pain then fainting the next. I was extremely worried."

"You dumb idiot, First you don't answer my texts for 3 days, then I found out you were in the hospital. Don't scare me like that" Momo said.

"Sorry guys, I honestly don't know what happened. My head just started feeling like it's on fire and the next thing I know i'm here, It still hurts but it's much less painful than it was, how long have I been out?" Midoriya questions wincing as he touches his head.

Toshinori answers "You've been out for 3 days my boy, you had a fever of 103 degrees but the strange thing is, that it was only your head that had the spike in temperature, the doctors had no idea what was wrong. We're just glad you pulled through." he smiled.

"Ah well I see, I'm sorry I worried you all, Momo can I talk to them for a moment, I promise i'll talk to you after." Izuku smiled weakly at her.

"Fine." She did not look happy.

Mom, Toshinori, I think it was All for One, I don't know how many quirks I can hold at once, but after each one we took it started to hurt more and more and I think moonfishes quirk was the final straw. It broke me, I'm honestly glad I fainted when I did the pain just hurt so much, although I'm strangely feeling much less pain now despite having the same number of quirks, maybe theres a cool down period, maybe I built a tolerance to it, hmm maybe it's because I used my quirk so much in one day I've never used so many times in one day after, hell I don't think i've ever used my quirk more than twice in a day now that I think about it." Izuku kept muttering to himself while All Might just Sweat dropped at the sight.

"Midoriya stop it, I'm glad we learned of this limit when we did, it could've happened in a much worse scenario, we can talk about this later for now talk to the poor girl, she was so worried about you."

Inko just said " I love you Izuku, I'm just glad your okay."

After they left Momo was ushered back into the room

"You know I'm mad at you, you didn't even tell me you'd be doing something this dangerous, you leave me alone and then get hurt while I know nothing, it feels like you don't trust me and it hurts."

Izuku had not felt this guilty in awhile, and he honestly didn't know how to respond. "Umm Momo, I had no idea what we would be doing was dangerous, I'm sorry I kept you in the dark though, it won't happen again, I promise." Trying to smile as brightly as he could at her without hurting his head even more.

"Izuku do you know why I have no friends and I hate Monoma?" she questioned him

"No I don't, I have my suspicions though, I just didn't want to pry."

"Well, let me tell you, every single person I've ever befriended has tried to use me in some way, for my wealth, for my looks, for my grades, for my quirk." Well that explains the look she gave him when he asked about her quirk. "Your the first person who hasn't done that and I truly appreciate it so please don't keep stuff like this from me alright? My family is super defensive of me now because of it and I just want to shun everyone away so they don't have a chance to use me in the first place. Your my only real friend, please don't leave me alright?" Momo started crying as she said this.

Izuku just looked down in defeat and let out a small sigh. "I promise i'm not going anywhere, but some of the stuff I know I can't tell you because it's not my secret but I trust you and I'll give you all my secrets." He beamed at her wildly. "This next weekend, lets meet up at a place really special to me, I'll tell you everything I can I promise." and with her nodding back they shared a small hug and that was that.

Chapter Text

Izuku awoke with a start before realizing he's back in his own home, it'd been 2 days since his little trip to the hospital. Today was it, it was the day where he would tell Momo about his real quirk. Izuku gave a silent prayer to whatever deity would let him still be friends with Momo at the end of today. Then hoping today went well tomorrow he would work with All Might to train his quirk and find out it's limitations. He was supposed to meet momo at 11am, apparently her limo would be dropping her off at his place and from there they will both walk to the beach. He would tell her to meet him there but Izuku didn't think her parents would like her being dropped off at a garbage dump. It was currently 8am which meant he had 3 hours to mess around and what better way than to write in the Journal that he stored all the information about his quirks in.

Quirks currently in my possession.

All for One: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows for the instant transmission of a quirk upon physical touch with the intended target, overuse, to many quirks, or to much usage leads to a migraine from hell and if pushed too far will cause the user to faint. Still need to figure what exactly is the cause of said drawback.

Ultra Sight: Mutation Type Quirk. Changes eyes of the person who has it to a pure shade of black, passively improves the sight of its user, giving them 20/20 vision.

Night Vision functions in a different way to normal Night Vision it just makes it look like a regular day versus making everything green like regular night vision, he can hold this one for 20 minutes before it starts to hurt a bit, the previous user supposedly could keep this up for hours at a time.

Thermal Vision functions as regular thermal vision, turning his vision blue except for heat sources which get redder the hotter they are.

Blacklight Vision functions in the exact same way Blacklight does as well.

Radiation Vision is his least used vision and will probably remain so due to the fact that Izuku wanted to be nowhere near any source of radiation.

Zoom is incredibly useful being able to see about 1km out, apparently the last user could see up to 5km out, I tried combining it with Thermal once, I regretted that almost instantly however as it felt like my eyes were burning from the strain but quirks are like muscles and i'll need to train so I can do that.

X Ray Vision? Dark Vision I need to find a better name for this one, it darkens the world around and causes living things to become a yellow silhouette, he has about 15 ft of range with this at the moment. I really need a new name for this quirk. Oh I know i'll call it Dark Vision.

Jetstream: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows the user to fire bursts of typhoon level air from the palms, with proper practice the quirk can be used to fly, this is by far Izuku's favourite quirk. The winds can reach up to 200mph with only 120 mph being needed to lift the average weight person off the ground and since Izuku is a child he needs much less for take off, it's unfortunate that Izuku can only make winds of around 80 mph, he wanted to fly so badly. Overuse leads to the person feeling like they have been running for a very long time, he's really glad All Might helped him train his endurance because Izuku can hold the quirk on for a good ten minutes at this point, the stronger the gust the faster you exhaust it, I can only hold 80 mph gusts for around a minute at the moment.

Super Teeth: Mutation? Emitter? Type Quirk. Honestly Izuku wants nothing to do with this quirk, he's only used it once and he really doesn't like how it feels, it feels itchy and scratchy, using it is like rubbing your teeth on tin foil. He also doesn't know to classify it because it both mutates his body and fires his teeth out. On the bright side he will never need dentures he muses.

Combustion: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows the user to manipulate any fire within a 30 ft radius, it has almost no drawback and allows for free movement of the fire almost perfectly, the downside is there already has to be a fire, so at the moment it's pretty useless to him but hopefully down the line he get a fire quirk because combined with this one will give Izuku a ton of options.

Izuku looked up to the clock and saw that it was nearing 11am, he had been writing and rewriting his notes for quite awhile now, he mused. Better get ready to go, he got dressed quickly and moved into the living room to see his mom making lunch. "Hey mom." Izuku said beaming at his mother.

"Oh good afternoon dear, ready to hang out with little Momo?" She stopped slicing carrots as she said this.

"Yeah I think I am but I'm terrified about how she'll react to seeing my quirk though, I hope she doesn't get scared of me like everyone else did." Izuku brooded, sad thoughts filling his mind.

"With how she was when you were in the hospital I really doubt it honey, it'll be fine I promise." Inko giving her son a hug that he definitely needed.

Just after that they heard a knock on the door "I wonder who that could be?" Inko said in a playful manner

Izuku just sighed and went over to the door to open it finding a Momo on the other side, she was wearing a sundress with flowers on it. "Hey Izuku." Momo beamed. "So where are we going?" she asked

"Not gonna ruin the surprise, alright let's get out of here. I'll see you later Mom." He smiled back at her

They made small talk as they walked to the beach, mainly about the stuff Izuku had missed while he had been in the hospital, turns out Monoma is still a jerk, he apparently went on some kind of tirade about being part of the superior class of people when the teacher started a lesson on the working class. God that guy is such a cocky fuck Izuku thought, well at least he doesn't beat people up by literally exploding them he mused.

"Anything GOOD happen while I was in the hospital momo?" Izuku said trying to lighten the mood

"Oh actually yes, after your suggestion that I should focus on learning how to make different types of guns I finally succeeded on making a tranquilizer gun. I also then may have accidentally tranq'd myself." She said that last part much quieter than the first.

"Oh my god Momo that's so cool, your quirk is amazing you know? So I got really bored one day while thinking about how you could apply your quirk in interesting ways so I did the math on something, Momo you do realize that if you wanted to you could destabilize the world economy right? Like in a month you could double all the existing gold on the planet, and I just think that's the coolest fucking thing." Momo was blushing slightly at the overwhelming praise she was getting.

It was then that then that the dump came into view, Momo looking obviously surprised that a dump of all things was Izuku's most important place. "Uh Izuku, why is this dump the most important place to you?" she asked curiously.

Izuku took a deep breath and finally after a few seconds of silence summoned the courage to tell her about his quirk. "Momo this place is the most important to me because this is where my journey to become a hero truly began, where my mentor told me that even with my villainous quirk I could change the world." He paused and decided this was it, he was really doing it. He took off his contact lenses and showed her his real eyes.

She was visibly startled when she saw them but recovered quickly. "Izuku that's not that big of a deal, your eyes are just a little different."

"That's not it Momo, my quirk my real quirk is the ability to take and give quirks." He waited for that bombshell of information to register in her eyes, he was expecting to see fear in her eyes not what appeared to be admiration?

"Izuku are you serious? That's like literally the best quirk ever, how many do you have?" Whelp this is not how Izuku was expecting this to go.

"Your not scared? I could literally just walk over touch you and you would be quirkless, permanently. So why aren't you scared of me?" He was silently cheering inside, she didn't reject him thank god.

"Izu, I know you would never do that, if you had wanted to you could have stolen it literally the first day we met but you never did. That being said I can see why you think I should be. Were people scared of you at your old school? I always thought it was weird that you transferred to one of the most expensive schools in japan despite not coming from a wealthy background yourself and on top of that it was also just in the middle of the semester." A lot of things regarding Izuku were starting to make sense in her head now, this mentor must have really helped him.

"Yeah they were absolutely horrified of me, or they downright hated me, I had no one or nothing. I guess that's why I wanted to talk to you at first, being lonely isn't fun. But my mentor saved me, and I wanted to save you." He smiled at her, if she was willing to stick with him even after learning what his quirk was, then he would stick with her.

"Pssh your a total dork you know that, but ... thanks Izuku. Alright you gotta show me all your quirks Izuku, no hiding them from me you hear." She sounded like she was pouting at the end there, which would make sense considering how long he had kept her in the dark.

"Alright, I guess I'll lead with my eyes." He was very thorough and showed her each and every one of his quirks, Izuku even had her make a lighter so he could show off combustion, she was just as horrified of the teeth quirk as Izuku was, which he found funny to be honest.

"My favourite is Jetstream watch this." He pointed of his hands down and hit his full power causing him to jump into the air, he couldn't fly yet but he could glide he decelerated himself enough to land softly on the ground from where he had leapt from.

"Izuku that reminds me, um how did you get those quirks, who did you steal them from?" Momo looked a little frightened as she said that, she just realized that Izuku had to have stolen these from someone.

"OH DON'T WORRY PLEASE, IT WAS COMPLETELY LEGAL I SWEAR." He stammered out as loudly and quickly as he could to reassure the girl, she jumped first then her look of fear fading with a sigh of relief. "I can't tell you all the details, but I took these from bad people, people who abused their quirks to hurt others." He couldn't tell her about All Might after all that wasn't his secret.

"But how is that legal still?" Momo was confused to say the least.

"Oh, um the police use me to take them from bad people, as long as I don't take anyone's else's quirk the police allow me to take them from prisoners. My quirk has a kind of hunger to it, it has to get a quirk every once in awhile or I will get this irresistible urge to take one. By taking quirks from criminals I help them out and they help me out." Izuku explained that as best as he could.

"Huh and how did that arrangement get set up?" The idea made sense to her but how did this happen in the first place.

"Well, I stole someone's quirk the day I got it and the police got involved, I met my Mentor that day and he saved me." Izuku said with the biggest smile she had seen on the boy, this mentor must be really important to Izuku she thought.

"Alright well, I'm glad you told me. I guess it was something really big." She started laughing realizing just how big of a secret Izuku had, she thought it was gonna be something dumb and he was just making a big deal out of it.

"Well, that's everything Momo, anything else you wanted to know?" Izuku was glad it turned out this way

"Well nothing to ask, just more of a statement. I know I've never said it and you never talked about your quirk so I didn't think you wanted to be a hero but clearly I was wrong about that, so let me tell you. Let's be the best heroes ever." She gave a thumbs up to Izuku at the exclamation

Izuku just chuckled, he mimicked the action. "To the best heroes!"

Once they had gotten food Momo had to go back but overall this was a pretty good day Izuku thought to himself. Mom was right she was still with him.

Izuku met with All Might the next day to practice his quirks and to learn more about All for One.

"Midoriya my boy how did everything with young Yaoyorozu go?" All Might said flashing his trademark smile at the child.

"It went amazing All Might, she wasn't even scared of - well she was for a bit when she realized my quirks had to have come from somewhere, she thought I'd stolen them illegally at first but once I explained everything it was fine and don't worry I didn't say anything about you." Izuku explained to the gaunt skeleton of a man with a heart made of gold.

"That's very good my boy, very good indeed. Having someone your age in your corner while even knowing your quirk is a huge step forward. Now onto today, we are going to have you repeatedly use All for One on me taking and giving quirks over and over to see if that was the cause of your predicament the other day, please tell me if starts hurting and we shall stop immediately." Toshinori explained.

Izuku nodded, the plan made sense to him. "Any particular quirk you want All Might?"

"Hmm, Give me the propulsion quirk, it is your favorite after all and I'd like to try it out for myself." The boy walked over and gave it to him, but as he did so he felt something he hadn't felt before just as he was giving the man the quirk he knew it was wrong, he shouldn't be giving him this quirk warning bells went off right as the transfer started he immediately canceled the quirk and pulled it back but the damage had been done. Izuku watched All Might scream in pain then collapse. "All Might!" He screamed running over to the man and his lifeless body, thankfully by the time he had reached the man, he was already coming too. "Oh my god I'm glad you're alright." Izuku let out through uncontrolled sobs, he had hurt his mentor, he had hurt All Might.

All might just started to stand wearily. "My boy what just happened. I was fine then as your quirk went into my body it started to overwhelm me. My head hurts so badly, this must be what it's like when your quirk hurts you. But regardless I am all right, you pulled that quirk back in the nick of time." Izuku was just sobbing against the man, All Might went to hug him and whisper reassurances that it's all right and most definitely not his fault, it was All Might's idea after all.

Several minutes later Izuku had calmed down enough to explain what happened. "I was just about to give you the quirk when I think All For One tried to warn me, it was desperately telling me not to give you that quirk, thanks to that I was able to pull it back before I fully gave it to you. You said the headache was like the one I got right? That must be it then, it's having to many quirks that causes the migraines, your body already has seven quirks, 8 must be to much for you." The boy trying his best to calmly rationalize the situation.

"That would appear to be the case young Midoriya, but hmm you said the headaches stopped for you correct? Maybe your quirk can be trained to carry more quirks, much like improving any other quirk, but in your case you strengthen your quirk by holding enough quirks to be near your current limit, at least that's what I think. Your old limit was 5 quirks, but I have a feeling you can hold more now." All Might explained in a way that makes sense.

Izuku paused in thought for a bit before responding if he can't hold that many quirks his use for the police would go down exponentially, but then an idea struck him. A way to both help the police, train his quirk, and help the populace.

"All Might I have a favor to ask and an idea I think would be very beneficial for both me, the public, and the police. All Might do you know if there are organizations out there that help the quirkless?" Izuku asked.

All Might having no idea where his trainee was taking this. "I do believe so my boy, why though?"

"Well I can't help the police if I can only hold like 7 quirks before I meltdown, however I don't need to be the one with the quirks." All Might paused for a second then it came to him.

"My boy you are so smart." He exclaimed

"Yup I can take quirks near to my limit, then donate the rest to quirkless people that we deem are capable of having them, rinse and repeat we train my quirk and we help people who have suffered like I have. It's especially useful since there aren't many quirkless my age, the 20% of the population that do are mainly elders born to previous generations after all." Izuku explained his plan and much to the surprise of Izuku All Might was stroking his chin thoughtfully, Izuku had thought his idea might get shut down but the man was seriously considering it.

After a bit All Might spoke. "Alright my boy, I'll look into my contacts so we can set this up, it's honestly an ingenious solution to our problem, I'm so proud of you my boy. We should get you some more quirks first though, are there any you don't want currently?"

No hesitation at all Izuku immediately stammers out "Moonfishes quirk please, it's to freaky for me." Izuku blanched in disgust of the thought of his teeth being used to carve someone up, ignorance is bliss at least and whoever he gives it to won't what know what it's done.

All Might just laughed "I couldn't agree with you any more young Midoriya. We're going to the prison this weekend so we can try to up your limit. I think you'll quite like the next one we got for you, remember the ex-hero Death Arms?" Izuku was disgusted when he heard that name, he had looked up to the man after all. Apparently Death Arms had been getting paid off by a mob in the area he patrolled in, in exchange for not bothering their group they paid him quite well. When he was finally caught with his hand in the cookie jar so to speak, the police had come for him and he murdered 3 cops by throwing a police car at them. He was eventually subdued by his old comrade Kamui woods, his hero license obviously revoked and he was sent to tartarus.

"Yeah I remember the guy." Izuku said with disgust on his lips. "I'll be glad to take his quirk though." Izuku switching from hatred to joy so quickly All Might could swear it was never there, this boy and his quirks he thought with a soft chuckle.

"Yes, it is a most excellent quirk minor super strength, it has nothing on OFA though." All Might said that like he was pouting, Izuku assumed because he refused to take OFA but was so willing to take what was essentially a worse OFA.

Izuku just shrugged "Yeah yeah I know."

And with that another two years passed quickly, Izuku taking and giving so many quirks he had honestly lost count a year ago. It was funny he thought, the Media had been calling what Izuku did the second awakening of quirks, a new phenomenon where quirkless people suddenly manifested a quirk out of nowhere, the oldest being 13 years old. Izuku was proud of himself, he never thought that life would go his way for once but he was helping society, his quirk was the best thing that had ever happened to him, he could prevent people from being Dekus like himself. He had even upped his limit to 15 quirks before he passed out, he continued his workout sessions and All Might said his real training would begin soon and as well as finally finding a successor, Izuku was very proud of the man's choice, though to be fair he was the one recommended them to All Might.

Chapter Text

Izuku was staring out at the sea, the sun beginning to rise over the horizon it truly was one of the most beautiful things he's had the privilege of seeing, now it's time to give that to everyone else. He turned seeing Momo and All Might behind him in his skeletal form as they walked towards him, the last 4 years were his tutorial, the game started now he mused to himself.

"Good morning Toshinori-san and you too Momo." He smiled brightly at the both of them.

"So Izuku, why are we out here at 6am and who is this man next to me?" Momo knew this beach was important to Izuku and she remembered this man from the hospital so she was pretty certain this man was the mentor that Izuku had been talking about but she couldn't be 100% sure yet.

"Oh, I'll just let him explain himself." Izuku said with a wolfish grin on his face.

Alright so something weird was going on she thought to herself.

"Miss Yaoyorozu, my name is Yagi Toshinori but you may better know me as... The world's current symbol of peace and justice, All Might, young miss." The man said as he bulked back up into his hero form.

Yup this was it, she had finally gone insane her best friend could steal peoples quirks, he was being taught by All Might, and for some reason All Might looked like someone had sucked out his insides with a vacuum cleaner. She slapped herself, hard. It didn't wake her up. "Alright so this isn't a dream, maybe i'm a schizophrenic. Did the butler slip something into my tea this morning, she couldn't rule out drugs after all." She muttered to herself.

All Might looked down at the poor girl, a thought occurred to him, oh no it's spreading. Izuku meanwhile was just laughing hysterically.

"Is that what it looks like when I do that? Momo, it's fine your not crazy and this is all real." Izuku managed to get out between his fits of laughing.

"But then why does the number 1 hero look like that?" Still not having fully recovered.

"Well young miss if you have to ask, this is why." He deflated mid sentence showing her the massive injury to his stomach. " I was injured in a fight with a seriously powerful villain, I lost three fourths of my stomach and a part of my lungs, i've been getting weaker and weaker, which is why I need a successor to become the next symbol."

Momo was visibly shook for a second, but then realized it made sense Izuku would be the perfect successor to All Might, he's already plenty strong and he will only get stronger. Who better to replace the symbol, it was perfect in her mind, but then life as per usual went in a completely different direction.

"Which is why I want you to become my successor miss Yaoyorozu." All Might said with such conviction, such pride she couldn't believe the man believe she could do it, she was only Momo after all.

"Wait what, I thought Izuku was your successor?" She belted out the sentence as fast as she could.

"You were not wrong to assume that, however young Midoriya turned it down and in his place he nominated you. You who were only ever belittled and abused, you who never lost your convictions despite the hardships you have faced in life. Someone whose ideals to be a hero were never shut down despite seeing some of the worst humanity had to offer." The blonde haired man clenched his fist when he finished.

Momo was blushing like crazy. Izuku had said all of that about her? She didn't know whether to be impressed, embarrassed or both. She turned to Izuku. "Why did you turn him down, isn't this like your dream? Wait a minute how would I even be made into a successor." Realizing she had missed the most important step, but then she realized Izuku was here, he could give her All Might's Quirk. That's probably why he was chosen in the first place.

All Might watching the gears turn in the poor girls head had finally had enough, time to just say everything and stop letting her confuse herself more. "Miss Yaoyorozu, I would ask you wait until I'm done to start asking questions, or we are going to be here forever." He laughed, this girl reminded him so much of Izuku the first time they had this conversation. Then he spoke telling her everything about One for All but leaving All for One out of it, he was gone and dealt with and we have a new better All for One to take his place. Better to let the past die with the past he believed.

"Okay, so i'm getting a lot of information dropped on me here, so first off there is actually more than one quirk that can be given. I honestly thought that was unique to Izuku, secondly you want to give me your quirk so that I can become the next symbol along with Izuku. Did I get that all right?" The girl was in various states of shock, her mind trying to process everything that was just said. Hell Izuku having the quirk he did was still a shock to her, this just took the cake though.

"Yes, that is the state of things miss Yaoyorozu, so do you accept?" The skeleton said with conviction in his eyes.

She had never seen All Might look like this, he wasn't smiling, then again the All Might she knew didn't cough up blood every other sentence, but she had already decided that she would be the best hero alongside Izuku long ago. Time to put preaching into practice she supposed. "Yes, Yes I accept."

The man smiled. "Good that brings us to why we are here today, for both of you. This beach used to be one of the greatest vacation spots Musutafa had to offer but now look at it. Much like society it's broken, ugly, marred, corrupted. The entrance exams for U.A. are in 10 months and while I think you have the character of a hero, you certainly do not have the body of one just yet young Yaoyorozu. My quirk is dangerous, even to its user. It's so powerful that if someone with noodly arms like yourself used it, it would likely detonate your limbs or even your entire body. We need to toughen you up before you can even accept my quirk. That is why we are here, we will build up your muscle while you clean this beach. Remember these words, after all just because something isn't flashy doesn't mean it isn't heroic, it's almost always the little things that we do that will have the biggest impact."

Wow All Might was good at speeches, Izuku already knew that of course but when the man wanted to he could clearly belt it out, or maybe he wrote that before coming here, either way it was good.

Izuku spoke up next. "Am I going to take part in this? She needs the muscle after all and I don't. Plus if I help she will have less to clean, it could harm her workout." Izuku didn't want to be left out but it made sense.

"Worry not young Midoriya, I already have a training schedule ready for both you and miss Yaoyorozu, and yes you will be taking part but you will have a smaller section to work on. Your current super strength quirk would make you able to clear too much to quickly."

Momo remembered when Izuku first got that quirk, he had basically been to the moon and back with how happy he was. She didn't admit it or say it outloud but she was kind of jealous of Izuku's quirk even though hers basically was playing god, the power of creation. It was kind of biblical when you take the time to think about it or more like when Izuku had the time to think about it.

All Might broke her out of her ruminating. "This training schedule will be downright brutal, especially to you miss Yaoyorozu, are you sure you want to partake?"

This was her final out she realized, once she started this would be her future. Either the number 1 or the number 2 hero, she didn't hesitate last time and she won't hesitate this time. "I'm not backing out just because things might get a bit rough." She smiled at the man, showing him her fierce determination.

"I like that kind of spirit you go getter you." Buffing himself back up. "Like I always say PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAA!"

The training began that morning, it was absolutely brutal. Momo vomited from the sheer amount of working out she had to do. She was kind of mad when she looked over at Izuku and saw that he wasn't even winded yet, stupid quirks, stupid broken super strength, stupid super cooling.

Izuku saw Momo looking at him angrily, he just gave her the best smile he could, which only further provoked the poor girl.

"Well that was good for our first morning, but over training is dangerous, it's best to know when to quit. That reminds me Nedzu wanted to see you today Izuku." The man said from atop his self-balancing scooter.

Izuku visibly brightened up. "Really? It's finally time for the meeting?"

Momo was confused but at this point between vomiting and every else that had happened today she just stopped questioning it. "Alright if we are done for the day then I shall call my driver to come get me. Thank you for everything All Might sensei and same time tomorrow Izuku?"

The boy blushed slightly but nodded in response, he really liked that girl, but not in that way or maybe he did. He honestly didn't know at this point.

"By the way All Might, umm this training kinda feels like it's doing nothing for me, I know this sounds wrong but I feel like I should work on endurance exclusively or I don't know. OH, I'll be quirkless when I do these workouts. Molecular manipulation makes it so I never overheat and with my super strength I'm not actually working out. Even if I can only lift a ton at maximum, while you have and can lift entire buildings, it makes lifting this debris pretty easy." Izuku half thinking out loud half trying to explain himself to his mentor.

"I know my boy, I figured it would. Your body has reached a point where training normally just won't cut it, I had you here more for moral support for her than anything else. I'll try and think of some ways we can improve you outside of just improving your quirks and your use of them but then maybe that's all we should be focusing on. After all for you getting stronger isn't like other people, you don't have to work to improve your body, you can just take something that will do it for you. Which is both the lazy and probably the correct option." All Might shrugged, unable to figure out how to train someone that can't be trained. "Either way let us depart my boy. Nedzu is waiting and he is terrifying when he gets angry." With that they walked off to All Mights beaten up station wagon and drove off.

A good 30 minutes later they had arrived at U.A. The massive gate hanging in the distance... and some weird homeless man standing by it? Not exactly what he thought his first time entering U.A. would be like if he's being honest.

"Um, All Might. Who is that?" Izuku moving slightly behind All Might just in case.

"That my boy is who will be your homeroom teacher Aizawa Shouta, better known as Eraserhead."

"WAIT THAT'S ERASERHEAD, HE'S THE HERO WHO MADE ME DECIDE TO BECOME AN UNDERGROUND HERO, I WANTED TO ERASE QUIRKS JUST LIKE HE DID."

Eraserhead for all his composure, slumped at the outburst. He had a fan? The whole point of being underground was so he didn't have fans. This stupid problem child is really going to be an issue isn't he. Aizawa had never heard of a student being able to skip all practical exams before, hell the man didn't even know what his quirk was yet but it'd have to be pretty amazing if that rat was willing to break all the rules just to let the kid in. He even ordered Aizawa that if the kid ended up in his class he had to consult with Nedzu before expelling him. Aizawa had never, NEVER, been given that stipulation before. Hell he got away with literally expelling his entire class this year. It honestly kind of worried him that the rat was willing to overstep his teaching style in order to protect this kid if he was being honest. Not to mention the kid doesn't even have to take the recommendation exam, he's so recommended he just got in assuming he passed his written exam of course. Breaking himself from the haze of his mind. "All right problem child we're going inside the rat wants to see you and oh here you go it's a guest pass."

Izuku was still beaming brightly at the man, and if this was what having fans felt like then he made the absolute correct call by going underground. They walked in silence until they reached the massive door leading into the office of U.A.'s principal. "Fair warning kid, the principal can be really scary. I don't know how you got on his radar so early but It'll probably end up biting you in the ass. Let's just get this over with so I can go back to sleep." Aizawa mumbled that last part to himself.

Upon walking into the room Izuku was greeted with the sight of a small white animal with a scar over his one of his eyes, the creature in question was rapidly scanning the boy. He felt like he was being seen through if he was being honest.

"Ah Yes, Izuku Midoriya I've heard quite a bit about you, smart, talented, resourceful. After all one of our future teachers has spoken so highly of you, and from what I can see and from the things I have heard about you he wasn't wrong about that in the slightest."

"I um thank you Principal Nedzu, I feel blessed enough as it is. To have earned your praise as well is beyond amazing." Izuku bowed to the animal.

"Pssh stop that, to you I am Nedzu and never feel the need to bow to me. I've sure you've heard of my past, the last thing I want is someone to be subservient to me. I would rather see you as an equal than anything less." The creature spoke giddily.

Knowing exactly what the man, 'err bear? Rat? Fuck it he wants to be treated equally I will call him a man' was talking about, after all Nedzu's past was horrific, he didn't deserve being treated like a literal lab rat.

"So you are probably wondering why I wanted to speak to you, I had a few questions that needed answering before you are accepted here." He then turned to Aizawa. "And seeing if Erasurehead's quirk worked on you was one of them. Go ahead and activate a safe one." He gestured to the boy who simply nodded and activated jetstream at a low speed. "Aizawa try turning it off."

Aizawa not understanding where this was going activated his quirk and sure enough the wind had stopped. "I turned it off."

"Now Izuku try to activate another one." Nedzu stared at the situation like it was a puzzle to be solved.

Izuku nodded again and activated his fire breathing he let out a small amount of heat and then grabbed control of it with combustion. "Seems like my other quirks still work Nedzu."

Aizawa was freaking out, no one had ever been able to use their quirk when he turned it off before and what did they mean quirks? WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON? "Alright you all are going to tell me what is going on right now." Aizawa was usually really good at keeping his composure but this was to much.

"Simple." The rat smiled at him. "Izuku's quirk is the ability to give and take quirks as it stands he has removed the quirks well over one thousand criminals who were all bad enough to warrant stays at tartarus, he then gave those quirks to the quirkless. I'm sure you've heard of the second quirk awakening Aizawa? Well here is the answer, this single boy has already helped the lives of countless people before the age of 15. I'm sure you can see why I'm so interested in him now, no?"

Aizawa was dumbstruck, he had to teach this kid? This isn't a problem child, this is a fucking nuclear bomb attached to a 14 year old. How the hell am I supposed to teach this? "Nedzu, If I am teaching this child I'm asking for a raise, a large one." He said it while staring down at the boy.

"Fine, fine Aizawa. I take it you accept then? The reason this boy should be a hero has already been made evidently clear at least I think it has anyway." The rat said while chuckling

Aizawa just rubbed his hand against his face. "Alright fine I accept but knowing you Nedzu I'm sure there is something you aren't telling me, how much of a workload am I taking on right here, please be honest with me."

The rat just cackled maniacally. "You catch on fast Aizawa, there are conditions but none of them should trouble you. They only trouble the boy after all they are almost all on him and as long as he acts as he is told there will be no trouble at all, and to make you feel better there have been zero accidents for the past 4 years Izuku has operated. The only real worry is if another party messes up and I am forced to take action. Now as to the actual conditions themselves, I'll let Izuku explain them to you." The rat had a gleam in his eye and Aizawa really didn't like it.

Izuku rubbed his fingers together before beginning. "The first condition is that we need to tell everyone in the class my quirk, and stress that if they do not keep it secret then the full weight of U.A.s legal team will be brought to bear against whoever broke that condition, both 1-A and 1-B are to be told as well as the staff." So that's why the damned rat was smiling Aizawa thought. "The second is that I cannot use my quirk outside of hero training or whenever a teacher gives me permission. The third is that any quirk I take must be returned at the end of the training or whenever I'm told too. Other than that I'm like any other student, I promise I won't cause you any trouble Aizawa sensei." The boy bowing before him.

Aizawa didn't like this, but he can't look at the image of this boy bowing before him promising to be the best little student he ever had and not feel something. Huh he was going to regret this wasn't he. (He would in fact come to regret this.)

"Alright fine kid, I'll take you. Just keep that promise to me and avoid trouble and we'll be good." The boy immediately straightened up staring into the man's eyes with the brightest expression he had ever seen. He had almost forgot the kid was a fan.

"UmcanIaskforanautographpleaseaizawasenseiitsjusyou'vealwaysbeentheinspirationforthekindofheroIwantedtobeanditsjustsocooltomeetyou."

For the first time since the meeting started All Might spoke, well I say spoke but he just starting laughing. "Izuku my boy, please calm yourself. I know you and your love for heroes but do try to breath."

Izuku took a big gulp of air after the muttering spree he just dropped. Staring straight into Aizawa's eyes, he already regretted this but to his credit he took the notebook the boy had and noticed what it was. It was a page all about him, several actually, as he kept looking through the book he realized how scarily accurate the boy was on his and several other heroes weaknesses. Eraserheads quirk only works on things he can see so cloaks and the like completely negate his quirk. He fights almost completely quirkless other than his capturing tape so really all it would take is to abuse the fact that two people are fighting quirkless, bring a gun and it would be relatively easy to defeat Eraserhead. The other option is to go for his vision if he gets the drop on you force him to blink, if you can get your quirk back for even a second that could swing the battle in your favor. He honestly wanted to confiscate the thing when he imagined it falling into the wrong hands. He relented, though realizing this was the first time he had ever given an autograph. Although he figured the rat would get a kick out of the book so he threw it him after signing it. Aizawa wasn't kind but he wasn't cruel either and if the boy wanted his autograph he would have to earn it. "That book has some scary information in it Nedzu, it should be kept out of the public if I'm being honest."

Nedzu curiously took the book, and then started looking through it. This was the most detailed analysis of so many different heroes and their weaknesses and abilities he had ever seen. He had a quirk that gave him an intellect far above the average human and even he was impressed, he found his own page and was startled at the amount of information. Allows the user to maintain and multitask up to 5 actions at once, intellect is so high it almost causes the user to have near precognition when given the time to analyze the situation. Weakness, surprise or unexpected moves. If you can catch the user off guard then their intellect is completely useless, if you wanted to defeat someone with this quirk unexpected sneak attacks were the best option. This boy he thought, oh he liked this boy. The rat starting smiling and it was terrifying. "Izuku how would you like private tutoring sessions from me to help develop your analytical skills?"

Izuku answered with a start. "You really think I'm worth that? I would love too."

Aizawa immediately regretted handing that book to Nedzu. What had he done, he just made a second Nedzu. This was a curse that would haunt him for the rest of his days.

"Well I did say I had several questions but honestly I don't need to ask them anymore, just with how you've been interacting with us I can tell you will make a fine addition to this school. However I do want to ask a question or two regarding you and your quirk. How soon are you willing to let the world know about your quirk? You will be completely safe here on campus with our dorming system however I have heard of your reluctance to let people know."

Izuku paused for a bit before answering "Hmm, I told All Might about this but I don't want people to go around treating me like a god. Can you imagine the sheer number of people who would want to see me if they knew what I could do."

Nedzu paused yes that made sense. "Alright then for the public activities we do here at U.A. such as the sport festival what would you like your official quirk to be?"

"Jetstream, it's my favourite and I'm so close to learning how to fly with it." Izuku did not hesitate to give that as his answer and he was truly close to flight, he could hover and glide for so long now it basically was flight but he would get there.

"Alright then I will have your quirk documentation changed to be Jetstream." Nedzu smiled at his new charge. "So sorry but one last thing, for the safety of your fellow students and staff we need to know what quirks you have at the moment."

"Oh that's no trouble at all, I kind of hit a roadblock at 15 quirks, my limit hasn't gone up for awhile I'm sitting at 10 currently, so I can take quirks whenever I need to and not go over my limit. I can safely go to about 13 quirks before i'll start really feeling the effects of overuse. The quirks I currently have are all in this notebook." Which Izuku pulled from his backpack and handed it to Nedzu.

Quirks currently in my possession.

All for One: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows for the instant transmission of a quirk upon physical touch with the intended target, overuse, too many quirks, or to much usage leads to a migraine from hell and if pushed too far will cause the user to faint. Still need to figure what exactly is the cause of said drawback.

Ultra Sight: Mutation Type Quirk. Changes eyes of the person who has it to a pure shade of black, passively improves the sight of its user, giving them 20/20 vision.

Night Vision functions in a different way to normal Night Vision it just makes it look like a regular day versus making everything green like regular night vision, he can hold this one for 20 minutes 1 hour before it starts to hurt a bit, the previous user supposedly could keep this up for hours at a time.

Thermal Vision functions as regular thermal vision, turning his vision blue except for heat sources which get redder the hotter they are.

Blacklight Vision functions in the exact same way Blacklight does as well.

Radiation Vision is his least used vision and will probably remain so due to the fact that Izuku wanted to be nowhere near any source of radiation.

Zoom is incredibly useful being able to see about 1km 3km out, apparently the last user could see up to 5km out, I tried combining it with Thermal once, I regretted that almost instantly however as it felt like my eyes were burning from the strain but quirks are like muscles and i'll need to train so I can do that. After training this with another one of my quirks Tempo I can successfully handle the strain for around 5 seconds.

X Ray Vision? Dark Vision I need to find a better name for this one, it darkens the world around and causes living things to become a yellow silhouette, he has about 15 25 feet of range with this at the moment. I need to come up with a better name. Oh I know i'll call it Dark Vision.

Jetstream: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows the user to fire bursts of typhoon level winds from their palms, with proper practice the quirk can be used to fly, this is by far my favourite quirk. The winds can reach up to 200mph with only 150 mph being needed to lift the average weight person off the ground and since Izuku is a child he needs much less for take off, it's unfortunate that Izuku can only make winds of around 80 110 mph, he wanted to fly so badly. Overuse leads to the person feeling like they have been running for a very long time, he's really glad All Might helped him train his endurance because I can hold the quirk on for a good ten minutes at this point, the stronger the gust the faster you exhaust it, I can only hold 80 110 mph gusts for around a minute half an hour, his cooling quirk had really helped with that one at the moment.

Combustion: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows the user to manipulate any fire within a 30 ft 45 ft radius, it has almost no drawback and allows for free movement of the fire almost perfectly, the downside is there already has to be a fire, so at the moment it's pretty useless to him but hopefully down the line he get a fire quirk because combined with this one will give Izuku a ton of options. See below.

Fire Breath: Mutation Type Quirk. Allows the user to breathe fire from their lungs that can reach upwards of 800 degrees fahrenheit, the longer the user holds the fire the more injured the throat of the user becomes. Almost completely negated to the next quirk listed, I am only held back by the amount of air in my lungs now, honestly with my skill set I could just pretend I was a fire user at this point. The quirk of his father Hisashi Midoriya, the only time Izuku broke his role and stole a quirk.

Minor Fire Resistance: Mutation Type Quirk. Grants the user the ability to withstand up to 600 degree temperatures comfortably, as long as I keep my fire lower than or at that temperature I will be fine and can continually use my Fire Breath and Combustion works incredibly well when combined with the two. I am probably the worst nightmare for a fire quirk user to fight at this point.

Silence: Emitter Type Quirk. When activated the user becomes incapable of making any sound whatsoever. This includes speech, walking, etc. It literally erases sound from the person using it. Overuse leads to the person becoming deaf for a period of time, overuse usually occurs at around 5-10 minutes, Izuku has no idea what causes it get used faster than normal sometimes. Maybe it's the amount of sound he makes while using the quirk? It is indeed the sound made by the user, I screamed at the mirror for like 2 minutes before the feeling of deafness hit me.

Tempo: Emitter Type Quirk. The user activates adrenaline in their body which makes it appear as if the user has either doubled the speed at which time passes or halved the speed at which time passes for the next 5 seconds. The users physical body is still only able to move at their normal speed during these 5 seconds only the mind is able to keep up with the new speed, it essentially allows you to fight in slow mo for the next 5 seconds doubling a person's reaction time, I still haven't found a good use for the doubling of time part of the quirk. Using it for more than 5 seconds without waiting for the 10 minute 1 minute cooldown time results in a migraine similar to that of overusing All for One.

Minor Regeneration. Mutation/Emitter Type Quirk. He was confused as to how to class this one, since it technically changes his body but it also doesn't have any physical properties, so he just went with both. The user must actively think about healing whichever part of his body he wishes to heal when trying to this quirk, it is not a passive ability. The process at which it does so is incredibly slow and to restore entire parts of the body it usually takes around an entire day. Thankfully they had an example of this already and Izuku didn't have to cut his arm off to find out, since apparently the previous user had lost an entire limb and had it back by the next day. The quirk consumes lipids to heal the body, meaning overuse can lead to malnourishment among other things.

Molecular Manipulation: Emitter Type Quirk. Allows the user to control molecules but only as a function of increasing or decreasing their vibration speed. He can speed them up or down causing the object to cool or heat rapidly. He mainly used it on himself to keep his breathing level via slowing down his own molecules and cooling himself down. Theoretically he could melt a person or freeze their insides with this but he has not and will not try that in the future.

Nedzu had just finished reading the book, the boy took even better notes when he had time to properly study it seems. "Izuku what is this part about taking your father's quirk?"

"Oh shit." He said out loud before realizing that he hadn't just thought that. "I um forgot that was in there. I promise you it was warranted in the situation. I'm sure you all remember who the dragon is. He went around using his flame breath to murder and terrorize people. Turns out he was my father, I already told All Might this but when he found out I was quirkless he beat my Mom and left. I hadn't seen him once until about 5 months ago. He came back to hurt me for ruining his reputation, it was then that I realized who he was. He couldn't be the scary villain he was when he had a quirkless child after all. I um took it and took him to the police station anonymously after knocking him out. I'm so sorry I never told you All Might but it was really personal, and I didn't want to hurt my Mom even more than she was already hurting."

All Might was surprised the boy had kept something like that from him, but could he really blame the boy if it was self defense against an active abuser. "It's fine my boy, just make sure you tell me in the future. Have you used your quirk ever besides that without us knowing? We need to know." He leveled a look at the boy as if to tell him that this was the moment to come clean.

"No I promise I haven't. Not once I swear." Izuku pleadingly hoping this wouldn't ruin his chances.

Nedzu just looked at the boy for a bit. "While I do not blame you for this situation since you were being actively attacked by a known murderer. However I would like to let you know that the police have given you 3 chances and I will be counting this as one of your mistakes." Nedzu looked at him disappointedly. "I am not mad at your quirk usage, I'm sad you never thought you could tell us about such a situation. I would have thought you trusted at least All Might by now." Indeed he was not angry at the boy, just sad he had thought he couldn't trust someone with that knowledge.

Izuku was so angry at himself at that moment, of course they wouldn't have cared he literally had a provisional license and now he's down to only 2 chances left. "I'm sorry it won't happen again, I swear if I am forced to use my quirk outside of my specified bounds you will all be the first to hear it." Izuku said bowing once more, thanking his stars he still had a chance.

Aizawa glared at him, well hopefully he's honest and won't do it again he thought, but from what he'd heard the boy was definitely acting in a rational manner there. "You'll have detention with me for the first week due to illegal quirk usage. Other than that I have no complaints. Are we done with this meeting yet?"

Nedzu simply nodded adjourning the meeting.

Outside the principal's office All Might just pulled Izuku into a hug. "Remember my boy you can come to me for anything, I do mean that."

Izuku sobbing quietly. "Yeah I know, I'm sorry."

And with that a hellish 9 months passed for momo, but she had done it, the beach was fully clean, she had never been so proud of herself.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the dank basement of a moderately stylish bar.

A black gate opens and a child falls to the floor. A wispy black man in a suit walks in behind the child. "I have collected the boy you asked for Sensei."

The boy to all his credit was doing his best not to freak out but when you get shoved through a portal and some kind of sentient cloud is talking, it would unnerve most people. But then a voice entered the child's brain. "Calm yourself child, I will not harm you if you speak to me truthfully, I shall know if you are lying though and there's one thing I cannot tolerate, I'm sure you can understand what that thing is." The voice in his head chuckling, but a dark horrifying laugh not to mention the fear this man radiates, he knew the threat was very real and quickly clammed up and nodded back to the figure, it was dark in here so he wasn't able to quite make the man out.

"Good good, now tell me your quirk, it allows you to create super sharp and strong teeth yes?" The boy nodded. "Now then, I hear you were part of this second awakening of quirks, but that's not really the case is it child? How did you get your quirk." The boy was screaming internally, he knew he wasn't supposed to talk about this he would get in so much trouble but it's better than dying. "There is an organization that helps the quirkless ... like myself. It's called the National Foundation for Quirkless Individuals, they told me about a procedure that could potentially awaken a dormant quirk if I have one. I mean who wouldn't jump at the chance? Everyday I was bullied and beaten down for being quirkless. So I accepted and they put me under, when I wake up I can suddenly do this." He flexes his teeth. "I swear that's all I know."

The figure just smiled or he thought they were smiling. "Good child I believe you, you may leave now but I doubt you'll remember this." A portal appeared below the boy and he was gone. "Sensei, that is 4th second awakening quirk user and the 3rd different organization for quirkless offering a surgery to grant quirks. Someone major has to be backing this." The whispy man pondered aloud.

"I know Kurogiri, I think that this means an old project of mine succeeded." He laughed again. "I almost forgot about it if i'm being honest as I started it over 150 years ago." This had been a very good development.

Notes:

I changed the ending a bit.

Chapter 6: The entrance Exam

Summary:

The entrance exams begin

Chapter Text

Nine grewling months had pass but finally she cleaned this stupid beach, she knew Izuku loved the sunrise and she could finally agree with his opinion. Momo was screaming out a victory yell. She had done it and if she was being honest, she looked good. No more baby fat, just pure toned muscle. All might appeared next to her changing into his buff form.

"OH MY GOODNESS, YOU GO GETTER YOU. NOT ONLY DID YOU CLEAN OUTSIDE WHERE I SPECIFIED BUT YOU FINISHED WITH A MONTH TO SPARE." All might was beaming. "Young Yaoyorozu, I was once told this saying "Something you receive because you are lucky and something that you are given because you are recognized are different in essence." "This is power you have earned, Now Eat This." All Might saying all this while ripping out one of his own hairs.

Momo went from awestruck to dumbstruck. "Wha...?"

"You need to ingest something with my DNA to transfer the quirk Young Yaoyorozu, and my hair is the least disgusting thing that you can eat." All might looked so convincing while saying all this.

Momo to all her credit took the hair coughingly swallowed the thing. "That was one of the grossest things I've ever done All Might, I just want to let you know that. Also hair tastes disgusting. So now what?"

Izuku had been silently watching the whole affair from a distance. He felt it was a private moment and shouldn't interject but he also couldn't help but laugh at the look on Momo's face.

After deflating "Well now we wait, it should be digested within a few hours and then we can begin practicing with it Young Yaoyorozu. In the meantime let's go get food."

"Speaking of Quirks, I've been wondering Momo how is the progress with your original quirk going? Have any of my other suggestions worked?" Izuku ever being the quirk nerd that he was.

"Oh yes, quite a few of them. I have managed to make sleeping gas just pour out of my body for one essentially making me a knock off Midnight. I also was able to figure out that trick which allowed me to produce flame, but that just burned me so I doubt i'll be using it very much. I still haven't been able to create water and then regulate the temperature in order to produce ice instead but I am working on it. As for things you told me to learn to make, learning to make things out of different elements was a really smart move. I found that carbon ring structure you recommended incredibly useful. Ever since I learned it I make any armor and blunt weapons out it. When you told me about that wonder material that wasn't being used because it couldn't be mass produced I'll admit I was skeptical at first that such a thing even existed but I was able to recreate it fairly quickly. I do have to wonder though Izuku, where do all these ideas even come from? I doubt I would've thought of any of these myself." Momo looked kinda sad about that statement.

Izuku only chuckled slightly before replying "Pssh ya right Momo, you're like the smartest person I know, I'm sure you would've figured it out on your own eventually. I did tell you, you could destabilize the global economy in a month ya know, so stop putting yourself down so much. You're so much better than you give yourself credit for." He smiled brightly at the girl who in turn was blushing profusely.

"He is right Young Yaoyorozu, you should give yourself some more credit after all you are my successor." Having the number 1 compliment you was certainly an interesting experience Momo thought to herself.

A few hours after breakfast the trio return to the beach to train with One for All.

"Alright Young Yaoyorozu, to use my quirk first clench your butt cheeks then yell smash. Go ahead and make a fist and try swinging it." All Might instructing the girl to do so.

Izuku upon hearing the worst advice he had ever heard, ran over. "No no no. Timeout."

"All Might are you crazy? You said she could explode potentially, we can't have risk her losing her limbs due to the backlash of One for All. You told me yourself you never had trouble with the quirk but explain to me in detail how exactly it feels and works."

"Hmm well Young Midoriya, It's just kinda like woosh and slam, ya know?" The man looked proud as he said it.

Izuku just deadpanned, "All Might that was the worst description I've literally ever heard. Alright I'm taking over this training session, you okay with that Momo?"

"Sure let's hear what you got oh great master of the Quirks." She snickered at him.

"Well first off and this is very important, do not actually move any part of you once activate One for All. Second try to only activate it in your pinky so if something does break it won't be as serious. Third once you've got it activated just hold the quirk there and try to lower the output of the quirk to as low as you can. Do you think you can try that?"

All Might kinda looked embarrassed by the fact Izuku was able to break that down so much better than him, did he really just try to make the girl throw a 100% punch as the first thing she did with the quirk? Even he couldn't handle 100% at first, god he was dumb. "Young Yaoyorozu I would listen to Young Midoriya's advice, it sounds quite sound to me."

Momo then began concentrate on her new quirk, she felt it like it was a pool , a deep pool with nearly infinite energy, energy she could move around her body. She did as All Might said and clenched her cheeks, letting the energy move to her pinky. Her pinky started crackling with black lightning as 100% of her power coursed through the spot. She was amazed, she felt so powerful. But next she did as Izuku asked and attempted to lower the energy, the Black Lightning lessening as every second passed until it was only a small crackling instead of the fierce thunder she had before. If she had to give the amount a number she would say it felt like 3%. "I think I did it." She said squeamishly.

"See look I told you you were smart Momo, you did it on the first try." He was giving her a bright smile and a thumbs up.

You know the more she saw Izuku's cute dimples with that smil- No not now mind, definitely not now. "What should I do now?"

"I don't know young Yaoyorozu try flicking it out, if it doesn't break anything we will try an actual fist at that level of strength." All Might added in.

She flicked and a small gust of win came out. Internally she was freaking out, THIS WAS 3 PERCENT? IT ALREADY MAKES ENOUGH PRESSURE TO SEND OUT WIND GUSTS?

Izuku just smiled at her shock. "Good job Momo, is anything broken?"

She looked over her pinky and smiled, she was fine. "Nope Izuku I'm totally fine."

"Now try making a fist and punching with that same force Young Yaoyorozu." All Might suggested.

She did as instructed and small black crackling began to surround her right arm, she swung her fist making a noticeably larger gust of wind this time. This was her? Holy shit.

Izuku was busy being betrayed by his mind, damn that was hot. Nope no no no brain not now, she could probably crush my head with those thighs. BRAIN NO.

All Might was the next to speak. "Young Yaoyorozu, that was impressive for a first attempt. For the next month we will focus on slowly raising your percentage of control. Whenever you are alone or have the chance I would recommend keeping One For All activated and slowly raising the percentage as you feel your body adapt to it. For now this was a good first attempt, however we should call it quits for the day."

And so a month passed and it was the day of the recommendation exam at U.A. High, the exam itself taking place the day before the actual entrance exams, this allowed the people taking it to take the regular exam if they failed this one. As she stood staring at the gates of the school she knew this was it, everything she had prepared for starts today. She knew she would pass the written exam with flying colors but she wasn't so sure she would pass the practical exam, at least she had 2 chances she thought.

She walked into the building meeting with the proctor and being sent into a room with 19 other students. Only the top 4 would pass the recommendation exams, but she knew she had this. The written exams were first and she felt like was steamrolling through the test, she was the first person done and had to sit around for another like 30 minutes before all the others finished their exam.

Once that was over a man with cockatiel looking yellow hair and a speaker system announced to his neck appeared. "HEY HEY LISTENERS, ARE YOU READY? SAY YAAAAAAYYYY!"

No one spoke.

"I SEE WERE TAKING THIS LOW KEY TODAY. ALRIGHT I'M GOING TO BE THE PROCTOR FOR THIS EXAM MY NAME IS PRESENT MIC AND I'LL EXPLAIN THE RULES NOW YAAAAAY!" He pointed to the board at the front and it turned on revealing what looked like an obstacle course. "THE GOAL IS SIMPLE GET TO THE END OF THE OBSTACLE COURSE FIRST YOUNG LISTENERS, YOU CAN USE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE BUT PURPOSELY ATTACKING YOUR FELLOW EXAMINEES IS AGAINST THE RULES AND WILL GET YOU DISQUALIFIED. BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP YOU FROM TRYING TO SLOW THEM DOWN WITH YOUR QUIRKS, SAY YAAYYYYY! ALRIGHT LET'S GET OUT THERE PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAA! and with that they were lead from the room.

Momo walked up to the starting line nervously, she could already see the the first obstacle, what appeared to be robots? She was dragged from her thoughts when present mic suddenly shouted "READY GO!" When no one moved Present Mic just calmly said "THERE ARE NO STARTING BELLS IN REAL LIFE LISTENERS, GO!"

After that a boy with bi colored red and white hair started sprinting and then threw a wave of ice behind him to try and stop the group from moving. Momo barely reacted in time throwing 5% of One for All into her legs and jumped over the wave of ice, landing safely on the part that had already frozen over, from there she just started sprinting as fast as she could, the ice boy had already cleared the robots, she was catching up slowly when a robot got into the way.

She aimed both her legs at it and crashed into its face, crushing said face instantly. During that brief distraction a guy with black hair and some kind of wind quirk sped past her, followed by what appeared to be a girl who split herself into 20 different pieces and was just flying them forward, definitely one of the weirder things she's seen. Getting herself out of her funk she barreled after them with a girl with vine like hair in close pursuit behind her. She reached the next obstacle rather quickly, it was a large pit of quicksand , ice boy had been freezing ahead of himself and melting it behind him as he crossed, the wind guy just flew over the pit passing the ice boy taking first, while the pieces girl was floating over at a slower speed.

Momo realized she needed to be able to fly to get past this, she used creation to make herself a wingsuit, which for reason after melding with OFA was now black in color and the things she produced came out way faster. She briefly charged OFA to 10% black lightning jumping from her legs before she leaped as high and far as she could opening the wingsuit at the apex of her jump and gliding past the quicksand, she even managed to pass the girl who split herself, Momo had noticed the girl was slowing down a lot as well. But she also realized that that brief use of 10% hurt, she felt her bones creaking from the strain, before deciding she won't be doing that again.

The last and final obstacle entered her view and it was some kind of wind tunnel, the turbines were so high she didn't think she could leap over it, she was just going to have to push through. She created a sheet of carbon in a V shape with a handle kind of like a shield but the angle made it so she would be much less wind resistant by diverting the wind around her lessening her drag, she charged 5% and just sprinted into the tunnel. Noticing she was having a much easier time of it than the ice boy, she even managed to pass him. That being said she couldn't even see the wind guy, but as she was getting closer to the end the wind just kept getting stronger and stronger she was next to the end but had slowed to a crawl by that point. It was at this point that the girl with Vines for hair was starting to catch up since she could her hair to push herself through the wind and then anchor herself at the same time.

Thankfully managing to get past the wind tunnel just in time to keep her advantage she barreled into the finish line, taking second place for herself. The Vine girl getting third and ice boy getting fourth. The girl that could split herself arrived fifth, and awhile after that the rest of the other 20 managed to reach the finish line. She couldn't believe herself, she had done it, she didn't get first but that was only 5% of her power, well a bit of 10% for a second or two but she couldn't wait to hit even 50% of her power.

Present Mic showed up in a bit and explained the rankings to the students. Many looked dejected when they heard their score, especially the girl who could split herself. They were all top if they werent in the top 5 positions in the practical that they should take the regular exam the next day. She called her driver Minato to come pick her up and she went home, very happy with herself. She tried to call All Might but he wasn't picking up, ah well he could just tell him the news later. She managed to call Izuku however and he was just so happy for her, Izuku knew she was getting in for sure.

A week later and low and behold a letter from U.A. arrived, her family made her put in on in the viewing room for them all to watch.

"I AM COMING TO YOU AS A PROJECTION!"

Why was All Might at U.A.? Momo thought to herself

"You are probably wondering why am I here? Well surprise Young Yaoyorozu you are looking at U.A.'s newest instructor of heroics. I will be happy to let you that you passed the written portion of the exam with an 100, a perfect score, combined with the fact you placed second in the practical exam. You tied for the first overall spot but due to the other person withdrawing from U.A.. CONGRATULATIONS Young Yaoyorozu for placing 1st in the exam, This is your Hero Academia."

The projection stopped there, she couldn't believe it, even if it was a technicality she arrived in FIRST, FIRST PLACE AT U.A. Her parents pulled her into the biggest hug ever, crying for their daughter. "We knew you could do it sweetie, but first place that's amazing. We're so proud of you." That was her mother Yaru Yaoyorozu, her father Mitoshi Yaoyorozu just wiped his eyes and said "You did it sport, we always knew you would be great." He then pulled her deeper into the hug, that lasted for a good 10 minutes before it ended.

She texted Izuku before bed.

3D Printer: Hey Izu guess what?

Cinnamon Bun: Hey Momo, no idea :)

3D Printer: You personally know the number 1 entrant exam for the recommendations. I will allow you to grovel at my feet due to my greatness.

Cinnamon Bun: Yes my lady, I shall prostrate myself before you upon our next meeting. But on a serious note i'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it :D

3D Printer: Please don't grovel at my feet.

Cinnamon Bun: Does this not please the young misses? I am able to perform other functions.

3D Printer: Please stop D:

Cinnamon Bun: Is that an emoji young lady? I knew that commoner swine was corrupting you.

3D Printer: Pssh if that commoner is a swine than I am a swine as well.

Cinnamon Bun: My word, the young lady is no such thing.

3D Printer: Just stop Izu your cute enough already ;)

Cinnamon Bun: osdjfajdfjadpfjapdf You can't just call me cute, your drop dead gorgeous.

Does he really think that?

3D Printer: *ahem* Well i'll take that as a compliment but I am going to sleep we have school tomorrow Izu.

Cinnamon Bun: Ugh don't remind me, that last test was brutal. But yeah cya tomorrow :)

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 7: The First Day

Chapter Text

It was the day before classes were supposed to start and Momo just arrived at the dorms she quickly walked over to the dormitories floor plan noticing she had room 202. Momo quickly instructed the movers her family had brought with her to bring her stuff up to her room but what she didn't realize was how small the dorms were going to be. Her bed ended up taking like 70% of the room and she realized that this just wouldn't do. So she had the movers take the bed back and created her own bed, this way her piano could fit comfortably in the room, it would probably be hard to get used to sleeping on a twin sized bed but she imagined she could do it.

After all she had more pressing matters at the moment after all, she hadn't seen Izuku for over a week. Apparently he had moved in like a week early and she needed to see him, and after that she needed to find All Might. It was roughly noon when the movers were finished and she walked back into the common room she looked at the board finding out that Izuku had room 502. She immediately marched up to that floor to find him but as she went to open the door, it opened before her revealing the figure of some woman with pink dreadnoughts for hair and plus symbols for eyes.

She wasn't sure why seeing another girl in Izuku's room bothered her as much as it did but she certainly didn't like it. "Excuse me, is Izuku here?" She asked the girl who just turned back in manic glee.

"YOU KNOW HIM? WE'VE MADE SO MANY BABIES TOGETHER. HE'S THE BEST PARTNER I COULD ASK FOR!" The pink haired girl replied. Momo decided at this moment she really didn't like this girl, and babies? What the hell was she talking about.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Izuku emerged from the room. "Sorry ignore that babies comment, she calls her inventions babies for some reason. This is Hatsume Mei I met her when I moved in early, apparently something similar was done for her because she's insanely smart. We've just been working on some inventions together. It's good to see you Momo." The boy smiled at her, and the relief was immediate.

"Oh well, it's nice to meet you Hatsume-san, but why were you in Izuku's room?" She tried her best to hide how agitated the girl made her. "SIMPLE, we were trying to make more babies, he gave me some great ideas and OH YOU'RE THAT MOMO? THE ONE WHO CAN CREATE THINGS? OH WE'RE GONNA BE BEST FRIENDS, YOU MAKE ME MATERIALS AND I'LL BUILD YOU THE BEST OF THE BEST." Momo honestly did not understand this girl who was currently feeling her up, she was legitimately scared of the ball of energy in front of her.

"Sorry Momo, she's very handsy but she has the best intentions, I promise." Izuku said trying to reassure her.

"Anyway I must go, there's inventing to be done." As suddenly as she appeared the girl she disappeared screaming as she ran down the hallway.

"Alright so I gotta know, how did that happen Izuku?" Momo wasn't sure what she felt after the girls sudden appearance and subsequent disappearance.

"Pssh well you always know how you said I was analytically smart, well apparently the Principal thought the same thing and he had me meet Hatsume in order to give her inspiration. We kind of hit it off after that, but who cares about that it's so good to see you ms. number 1." He beamed at her.

Momo blushed slightly. "Please don't call me that."

"But it's true, I told you you were amazing." Bringing a Thumbs up into view.

She just coughed trying to dodge the subject. "Well alright then but how about you show me around campus? I just got here and you've been here for around a week already after all."

"Oh boy would I, the food here is amazing. Have you met Lunch Rush yet? I swear the food he makes is the best thing I've ever tasted, especially the katsudon. Regardless any place you wanna start? I was kinda given free reign by Nedzu, so i've just been running all over campus exploring the mountains and such." Izuku smiled sheepishly.

"Why not show me our classroom first, then we can go exploring the rest of campus and oh who's going to be our homeroom teacher?" She asked.

"Well I was told not to ruin the surprise so I can't tell you who our homeroom teacher is, he apparently likes to make a strong first impression. But I can do the rest of that, let me lead you to 1-A's classroom." They walked silently for a bit until they reached the massive doors of the school.

"Wow these are rather large doors." The black haired girl thought out loud.

"Yeah I think it's because some people have quirks that make them massive, this school isn't the best in the country for no reason and i'm pretty sure they are just trying to cover all bases with these. Though I could entirely be wrong."

"Izuku, if i've learned anything over the four years I've known you, it's that you are rarely wrong." Giggling to herself thinking about all the times Izuku's dumb ideas turned out to be correct, she still enjoyed making his stupid ideas come to fruition. She can still remember the joy of having made a tranquilizer gun for the first time.

Izuku just brushed his own hair at that compliment. "Well thanks I learned from the best." He said beaming back at her.

That smile, that damned smile. This boy was literally a cinnamon bun, if she ever found this Bakugo person that Izuku had mentioned bullied him in the past she was going to grind him into the floor.

"Well that's the classroom, got any favourite spots yet Izuku?"

"I've got the perfect spot follow me." He said while grabbing her by the hand and pulling her up the staircase until they reached the roof. She watched Izuku try the handle however it was locked, but then Izuku did something completely unexpected and he grabbed the doorknob and it melted onto the floor after which he just pushed it open. Izuku just looked at her grinning and said "Whelp my quirk was on the fritz, shame what happened to that doorknob but it was completely unavoidable."

Momo just giggled, hoping they wouldn't get into too much trouble for this.

"I found this the first day I got here, the door wasn't locked then but I guess it's changed since then but the view is absolutely amazing, especially at sunrise or sunset, it reminds me of Dagobah beach." He had this look to him, like he could see everything from this spot. The secrets of the universe unraveling only to him.

"Honestly Momo, I'm so glad I met you. I hope you feel the same." Izuku trying to avoid her gaze as he said this.

"Pssh Izuku if anything I should be the one thanking you. Thanks to you I not only improved my quirk, I met All Might, I got One for All, I reached 1st place in the U.A. RECOMMENDATION exams,and I get to stare at your dorky face all the time." Momo was looking down as she said this trying to hide her blush.

Finally she summoned some courage and walked over to the boy. She grabbed his head and forced it to look at her, noticing the blush on his face just as much as hers. "I like you Izuku."

She then pressed her face into his, it was just a light peck but she knew it was reciprocated when he pulled her back into him. It was almost funny since Izuku was shorter than her. Momo whispered into his ear. "I've been wanting to do that for awhile now Izu. I think I figured out how I felt the night you were at the hospital. I'd never cared for anyone that much before, but I just didn't know how to tell you."

To her relief Izuku just said "Oh thank god. I wasn't sure how long I could keep the childhood friend thing going, everytime I looked at you I just saw this amazonian warrior goddess. It's literally been driving me insane." Izuku paused "So um, are we dating?"

Momo blushed at the first comment then sniggered in her usual fashion, "Only if you want to be." She then pulled him in for another kiss.

"As much as I'd like to continue this, we really should get back to the dorms Izu." He decided at that moment, he really liked that nickname.

"Yeah probably, the other students will be getting here soon. Do you want to keep us on the downlow for now?" Izuku wasn't sure which option he wanted, he wanted to scream to the world that Momo was his but he also wanted to keep that information hidden.

"Let's keep it quiet for now, we can have a big outting ourselves surprise later down the line, after all we have no idea what kinds of people will be in our class." That sounded smart to Izuku and this girl got a 100 on her written exams so he decided to just roll with it. "Hey Izuku?" she asked

"Yeah?" he responded.

"If I build us a parasail can you fly us there? I just I've always wanted to fly, it sounds so liberating." Momo said with a dreamy look on her face. Izuku couldn't say no to that.

"Yeah Momo, I can do that." He wasn't sure if he could if he was being honest but that's never stopped him before, he started talking to his own quirk like it was a person, you better help me out here jetstream bud, let's not blow this. The parasail was made and they went into the air, Izuku using jetstream to keep their vertical height.

They spent what felt like forever in the air before deciding to land on the roof of their dorms, they were thankfully able to land safely. Izuku used Jetstream to make them land safely pointing one forward and one down. They hadn't accounted for one thing however, which was yet another locked rooftop door. Izuku just smiled and walked over to it before melting the thing. "It's really weird how doorknobs keep melting in front of us huh Momo?"

She just giggled back at him. "Spontaneous Combustion is a dangerous thing Izuku, don't joke about it." They both just started howling even knowing they would probably get into trouble this later.

They walked down to the bottom floor finding a dorm meeting had apparently already been taking place. When they looked at the clock they both swore, they really had been in air for awhile. A man with blue hair and glasses quickly approached them, both of which were spooked by the sudden action of the imposingly tall person in question. "I am Tenya Iida, It is a pleasure to make both of your acquaintances however the dorm meeting was scheduled for over 15 minutes ago, where have you been? As students of U.A. we need to be the perfect role models for the rest of the world, tardiness is unacceptable. I also notice that you both have come from the stairs, if you were already here you should've been aware of this meeting already." Both of them were just so flabbergasted by the irate blue haired boy basically screaming in their faces it took them a bit to formulate a response.

Izuku was the first to respond. "Well ya know we've just been 'hanging' around." Momo giggled, the pun not being lost on her.

"U.A. is not a place for 'hanging' around I suggest that you leave if you are not taking things here seriously." The bespectacled boy said to him.

Izuku was joking at first, but he was no longer in a joking mode. Especially after seeing a mop of spiky blonde hair in the background.

"Alright then I guess we are going to take things seriously." Izuku cracked his neck before continuing.

He breathed in then let out a flaming roar to the surprise of everyone in the room. "My name is Izuku Midoriya and I will be your class representative, Eraserhead care to take it away?" Izuku said looking to the yellow caterpillar that had slowly been worming its way into the room.

"You ruined my intro problem child." He sighed exaggeratedly. "My name is Aizawa Shouta and I will be your homeroom teacher, normally things would work differently but thanks to this idiot they won't be." He said pointing at Izuku.

"You all have already signed a Non Disclosure Agreement regarding things at U.A.." He paused letting them take it in. "However there is a second reason for that. I will give anyone in this room 5 seconds to leave, if you do not leave you are about to be trusted with a secret that would rock all of Hero society. If you break this trust you will and I quote "Be destroyed in the most unethical fashion our legal department is capable of." If you believe yourself unable to keep a secret now is your only chance to leave." No one did.

"Well you passed the first test, Izuku why don't you go ahead and show them what the secret is, and I swear to god if you melt another doorknob your detention is getting extended to a month, and yes I know about that."

Well shit, Izuku thought to himself. How does he know about that, there weren't any cameras near the doors. "Well Honestly It'd be easier to show, are there any volunteers? And oh by the way one of you already knows the secret. It's been a while hasn't it Bakugo?" He sarcastically grinned at the boy when he saw the fear in his eyes.

A round faced girl with brown hair and pads on her fingertips stepped forward. "I'd um be willing to volunteer but what is it I'll be doing?" She was definitely scared by this whole ordeal.

"I promise it's nothing scary just come over and give me a handshake." Izuku said as calmly as possible.

However the explosive teen in the back took this opportunity to shout at the top of his lungs. "DON'T LET THAT FUCK TOUCH YOU ROUND FACE HE CAN STEAL QUIRKS." The girl in question just jumped back.

"Ah it's no fun to ruin a surprise Kacchan." He said as sarcastically as possible. "But yes I can take and give quirks, I have been doing so for over 2 years now. Surely you all have heard of the Second Awakening of Quirks. That was all me. I've been taking quirks from criminals and giving them to those who need them more. I promise you while I am here your quirk is safe. I may take it during a training session but I am under extreme regulations, If I am told to return one I must, and I will never keep it past the end of a training session. I am sure some of you are scared of what I am capable of but I promise you I will never break these rules." Izuku said while bowing.

"As an example, Momo can I borrow Creation?" The girl just nodded and gave the boy a handshake, after which Izuku had taken Creation. He thought of the best thing he could make, he created a small grenade made of plastic and threw it at Bakugo. He then walked back over and returned the quirk to Momo, who then created an origami swan. "See completely harmless and I returned it instantly." Izuku said matter of factly.

The students in front of him were just struck in awe before a pink haired alien girl starting shouting in the back. "Midori thats the coolest thing i've ever seen!" Midori? he thought but then he also saw a purple haired student looking at him with neither fear nor awe, just understanding. The guy kind of reminded him of Aizawa if he was being honest.

Speaking of the devil, he cut back in. "You can see why he's being kept a secret his quirk is one of the strongest ever seen. He made it in on recommended recommendation, the Principal had to make it up just to let him in. Like Midoriya said however, he has strict guidelines and if he even remotely steps out of line, he's done. So rest assured that you all are safe with him around. Now let's get to the normal stuff, Curfew is at 8pm, you will not be caught in another person's room after this period." For some reason Aizawa was staring at Izuku while he said that. "The fridge will be stocked weekly however you will be responsible for making your own breakfast and dinner. On the first floor we have the common room, the kitchen, and the laundry room. For every floor above that it rotates, females will be on even numbered floors and males on odd numbered floors. My room will also be on the 5th floor room 505, only come to see me if it's an emergency, otherwise like Midoriya said he is your class representative, go to him first." Izuku winced at that, knowing it was definitely revenge for him ruining Aizawa's surprise. "No questions? Good." With that the man climbed back into his sleeping bag and scuttled off.

Not surprisingly the first thing he heard was a person screaming the word deku, to which he pointedly ignored until said figure grabbed him by the shoulder, hands crackling. "DEKU HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET INTO U.A. WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO TAKE THE TEST? I BET YOU FUCKING THREATENED THEM WITH YOUR VILLAINS QUIRK, DIDN'T YOU?"

Izuku for all his credit just laughed. "Really that's how you think I got in Kacchan? Your even more conceited than I thought. I had hoped some time without me being around would fix you, but clearly it hasn't. Also if I have such a villainous quirk, why do you still have yours?" Momo was next to Izuku having realized that this was the Bakugo that tormented her boyfriend. Huh that was weird to say but it felt really right. She was about to walk up and slap the guy but Izuku made it clear he had it handled.

"Listen up everyone." Izuku shouted. "The only reason this shell of a human being made into this school is because I let him. He is a bully and a villain. Who used his quirk to abuse people just because he could and it was not an isolated incident, he did it for at least the 6 years I knew him. Aizawa was supposed to tell you this but I guess it falls to me now. My situation is special which i'm sure you already all realize, but I do have the trust of the police and the school. This thing in front of me is one of the most volatile and awful human beings i've ever had the displeasure of meeting. If it weren't for the fact he was never officially reported for all his misdeeds I would have robbed him of his quirk long ago. He is here to improve himself and become what a hero should be. If he ever threatens you or hurts you, let me or Aizawa-sensei know and he is out, end of story. Do you understand Kacchan?" Izuku had never seen such indignant fury on Bakugo before, usually it was visible explosive rage but this was silent, vindictive. To his credit he just stomped off to wherever his room was.

Momo beside Izuku just stared in awe. She had never seen Izuku so angry, so commanding. It was kinda hot.

"Sorry about that everyone, I just had to let him know the stakes before he did something stupid." Izuku bowed to the rest of the class. "I promise you I am on your side if you need anything feel free to let me know."

The first to respond was the pink girl from earlier. "Midori, that was so cool, the way you can just grab quirks and use them. Do you want to try mine out? I can make acid and shoot it out from my skin."

Izuku rubbed his hair "Honestly that sounds like a quirk I couldn't use, your skin has more than likely toughened your skin over the years, if I were to try to use it i'd like likely hurt myself." He said sheepishly. "Oh and what's up with Midori?"

"It's a cute nickname isn't it, I like cute nicknames." She said smiling.

The round face girl who volunteered earlier spoke up next. "I'm sorry about being scared of you after Bakugo started screaming. He made it sound like you were a villain, which I can see your not. As an apology, can you take my quirk? It let's me remove gravity from things and I want to let you know I trust you."

Izuku walked up to the girl and shook her hand grabbing the string that was her quirk, it was bouncy and loose, almost as if there was no weight to the string. "Wow this is really weird." as he felt the pads on his fingertips grow, he grabbed a fork from the cabinet and started floating it. "Huh that's a really interesting quirk as he touched the fork, it loses gravitational pull but keeps the mass, it could be used to potentially hit people with very heavy objects, the best way I can describe it as if you are placing an object in a zero g environment in an environment where gravity is very much still in effect. My best advice for the combat aspect of this quirk would be to get a very heavy object yet compact object, kind of like a paper weight. Maybe strap it to a belt, then you could freely use it as a bludgeon. "

Momo just started laughing very used to the scene in front of her while the other two girls were extremely confused. "Sorry he just really likes quirks, I think it's because of his quirk. Take it as a compliment, if your quirk manages to make him go on a mumble spree it's intriguing enough to have multiple possible aspects."

"Ahah sorry Uraraka-san here you go." He said holding his hand out, which she accepted taking her quirk back. "See no pain." He said while smiling at her. Two boys in the background watching this spectacle with aww. One with purple hair in absolute confusion as if this should be impossible, the other changing his expression into sheer determination, the second walked up to the group of people waving his arms robotically.

"I apologize Izuku Midoriya, I have misjudged you heinously, you clearly are a step above the rest of us if the school trusts you as impicility as it does, I even confronted you for being late when you were supposed to arrive after the teacher had."

The boy clearly had the wrong idea about the situation but eh, lets roll with it. "No problems Iida-kun, I apologize for ruining the surprise and for snapping at you." He just smiled back at the boy. Behind him Mina was cornering Momo.

"So what's the story with you and Midori? You arrive together, you seem to already know his secrets and I saw that glare from Aizawa sensei when he said no sharing rooms." Mina said in a way that made it clear she knew something was going on.

Momo just huffed. "We're good friends alright? I've known him for 4 years." Trying and failing to forget how they were kissing literally 30 minutes ago.

"Ahuh sure girl, i'll catch you, just you wait." Momo was heavily blushing at this point, just trying to hide her face.

Returning to the conversation between Iida and Izuku. "I Tenya Iida would like to also offer this chance at trust and as such I present my quirk." Thrusting his hand forward.

Izuku stared at it for a second before replying. "Mutation quirks hurt when transferred, are you certain?" The other boy just nodded, so Izuku took his hand and took the quirk.

Izuku felt the pain in the back of this calves, it burned. Having metallic engines suddenly implanted was not a good feeling if he was being honest, but he endured. "Iida are you okay?" The other boy was wincing as well.

"It is nothing I cannot handle. However I do see what you meant by uncomfortable my legs feel immensely lighter now without the engines attached. Could you please return them now Midoriya?" Izuku complied returning the engines, the feeling of them leaving only slightly better than having them surgically attached.

"I see, you are true to your word and will not misuse your quirk. It is good to see that power has not tempted you Midoriya-kun. I know many who would misuse the power you have been given." Iida said while chopping his arms in the air. The purple boy was still staring at the scene in disbelief and Izuku felt it was finally time to address whatever the boy had against him.

"Can I help you, if your scared of my quirk I apologize, but like i've shown I will put it back as soon as I am asked, I can even give people extra quirks and have done so in the past." The purple haired boy just scoffed and walked off. Weird Izuku thought, but not unexpected. His gaze returned to Momo who was currently getting grilled by Mina. Catching the tailwind of the conversation and hearing things like boyfriend and do you like him he decided to spare the poor girl.

"Hey Mina, wanna see all the quirks I got?" Thankful for the reprieve Momo stepped away to go talk to other classmates, a particular floating set of clothes had peaked her interests.

Mina just ran over to him and grabbed him. "YOU WOULD? Oh please show me all your quirks!" That comment was heard by the rest of the class who wanted to know just how his quirk worked, after all the boy had literally just been accepted into the number 1 school with no tests and rules were changed for him. In the background Izuku could hear shouts of please and show us.

Izuku herded the 18 other students outside, because doing this inside was just dumb. "So I guess I better explain how my quirk works, I can take and give quirks via physical contact but each person has a limit to the number of quirks they can handle. If you go over that limit it's really bad, like potentially lethal. I can handle way more quirks than any other person i've met but I can tell when I give quirks if that person is at their limit or not. I can currently hold 13 safely but the average person can usually hold around 2-3 quirks. I can train my limit by having a number of quirks close to my limit, I am currently running 10 quirks but my hard limit is 15, I stay at 10 so I can take a quirk in an emergency situation if your wondering. He removed his contacts showing his black sclera, those quirks are Ultra Sight, Fire Breathing, Jetstream, Combustion, Minor Fire Resistance, Tempo, Super Strength, Minor Regeneration, Molecular Manipulation, and my original quirk All for One." Izuku gave them a brief demonstration of the ones he could. He noticed he had especially caught the eye of the teenager with hybrid colored hair. "So yeah that's all I can do, any questions?"

All but three peoples hands went up and honestly he wasn't surprised. The first was the boy with purple hair from earlier. "So you have stolen all these quirks, a villainous quirk. How is it you've gotten on the good side of the law?"

Izuku paled at the word villainous Quirk. " Can I get your name first?"

"Shinsou Hitoshi."

"Well Shinsou, I'll just tell you what my mentor told me. No quirk is villainous, only the user. Imagine if All Might started ripping buildings in half and pancaking people. Would he suddenly have a villainous quirk?" The boy who asked the question was flabbergasted.

Next Izuku pointed to a person who had weird circular shaped elbows. "Hi my name is Sero Hanta, but you said you got all these quirks from villains, how did that happen?"

"Ah well I can't say everything that happened but I was a late bloomer and when my quirk first awakened I stole someone else's. After that the police decided I could help them."

Almost every other hand shot down after that the only one remaining was Momos. "Yes Momo?"

She just smirked. "Why are you such a cinnamon bun?" just shut down after that and everyone started laughing.

Deciding he'd had enough, Momo grabbed Izuku and led him back inside with the rest of their class following close behind.

The next day

"Welcome to Homeroom, if you thought you would be doing something like presenting yourself or going to the orientation well you would be wrong. Every second is important and the teacher's here at U.A. are allowed as much freedom as they want." Aizawa pointed to a pile of gym clothes. "Everyone of you is to take one and meet me outside within the next 10 minutes or you're expelled." People started moving after that, although Aizawa didn't exactly specify where outside was but thankfully Izuku knew what direction to point everyone in thanks to having already been here for a week.

The entirety of the class ended up in a flat dirt covered section of earth. The last person to arrive was noticeably a flying pile of clothes Aizawa finally spoke. "You're entire lives you've done these exercises for school, but you've never been allowed to do them while using your quirk. It's irrational and it changes today." He looked to Midoriya. "How far could you throw this in middle school problem child?"

"Around 50 meters" he replied. "Good now why don't you come and throw this ball as far as you can using your quirk. Just don't leave the circle" Aizawa said while deadpanning at the kid.

"My pleasure." Izuku said while tapping on Uraraka on the way over. To his credit he just let the ball go and it flew into space, granting him an infinity score.

"As you all can see using your quirks drastically changes the score you should have received while doing these and Izuku, give it back. We have to see where everyone's baseline is and if she doesn't have a quirk we can't tell."

"Yes Aizawa-sensei." Izuku replied while walking back and giving the gravity user a slap on the wrist. He whispered into her ear "See, still completely harmless." Smiling at her.

Someone in the back made the mistake of saying this looked fun, Izuku thought it was the invisible girl but wasn't 100% certain on that. Aizawa let out his creepy ass grin after hearing that. "Oh fun is it? How about this then, the person who comes in last will be judged to have no potential and expelled." Everyone but Izuku and Momo paled at that. Izuku knew he was immune to expulsion for the most part and Momo thought it was just an excuse to make people try harder because many students didn't have quirks related to this test.

Meanwhile All Might having heard this was worried from the spot he was hiding at, after all he knew Aizawa had expelled his literal entire class last year.

The first exercise ended up being a 50 meter sprint, paired with Bakugo it was sure to be interesting. He was tempted to just grab Bakugou's quirk and run with it but he knew Aizawa wouldn't want that. So as the countdown started Izuku activated Tempo at the 1 second mark to make sure he reacted as soon as possible and wouldn't you know the literal milisecond the countdown hit zero, Izuku turned off Tempo and jettisoned himself into the finish line with an air cannon. 2.45 seconds, not bad he thought to himself, Bakugo coming in behind him with 3.15 seconds was visibly angry but just walked off. Momo ended up getting 4.05 seconds by 5% leaping multiple times until she got herself across the 50m line.

The second exercise was easy enough for both Izuku and Momo. Izuku used Death Arms' super strength and jetstream together to literally crush the grip machine resulting in another theoretically infinite. While Momo used 5% again to get a respectable 340 kilograms. The person who managed to beat her was the massive octopus looking boy who managed to get a score of 540 kilograms by using 3 of his hands to pull at the machine.

The third exercise was another easy one, it was time for a standing long jump. Izuku just Jetstreamed himself across the entire thing for a maximum score while Momo used a quick burst of 10% and created another wingsuit to clear it, just like she had during the entrance exam. She was getting better at pulling out bursts of 10%, it didn't hurt her nearly as much anymore.

People were commenting on the black lightning that seemed to ooze from her, it seems most had assumed that was her quirk and not creation. Which in all seriousness made sense to her, she was going to need a reason as to why she had super strength, maybe something about internally using the lightning to boost her muscle strength? She could just say her quirk made black lighting while creating she thought, after all it's not like any of these people had ever seen her quirk before.

When the repeated sidesteps came up Izuku knew he had this. Activating one palm at a time he just fired himself left to right over and over again. He had managed a pretty good score on this. 35 Times in 30 seconds. Momo while also doing well didn't do as well, after all with only access to 5% she didn't have the raw speed All Might did. She only got a score of 20 jumps within the 30 second span, but she was still doing much better than people like Invisi girl who only got 10 jumps during the 30 seconds.

Izuku and Uraraka were excluded from the next test already having received an infinity score by nature of them both having Zero Gravity and as Aizawa said it, repeating an action just to see it again was irrational. When Momo stepped up to the plate she activated 10% of her quirk and threw it as hard as she could, managing to make it land a good 300 meters away, god she couldn't wait until she managed to unlock more of her quirk. She made a mental note then and there to meditate with her quirk later tonight.

The sit ups test was interesting as Izuku figured out he was able to leave his palms open during it, so he just blasted himself back and forth with Jetstream getting an amazing 204 sit ups during the two minutes of allowed time, he also however wanted to vomit. Momo on the other hand let 5% out on her back muscles, using that to greatly strengthen herself during the test. She managed to get 102 sit ups in same amount of time.

The seated toe touch was the first time his quirks wouldn't be able to help him, after all none of them increased his flexibility. He ended doing rather poorly in this test getting like 11th place. Momo on the other hand was apparently incredibly flexible. She managed to get 2nd, coming behind only invisi girl.

The final test was the long distance run. It was a 4 kilometer 'run' 8 laps around the track they had in front of them. Momo to her credit ended up making a bike and with 5% added to her legs she was able to easily outpace everyone. Everyone that is besides Iida and Izuku, both somehow keeping pace with the person who had super strength and a vehicular advantage. She figured Izuku would keep up but not to this degree, however it seems she had seriously underestimated Iida's speed. Even with just propulsion in his legs, they were all easily going around 50 mph. It ended up being a photo finish with Momo taking the top spot, Iida in second, and Izuku in third. However they were so far ahead of the rest of the pack that it took minutes before everybody else reached the finish line. Most looking like they were dead from exhaustion, good thing she was used to that Momo thought.

Moments later Aizawa Announced the results of the test.

20. Shinsou Hitoshi

Shinsou saw his name at the bottom and knew this was it, his dream of becoming a hero would be crushed. However it seemed as though some god was looking out for him and his teacher spoke.

"By the way that was a rational deception to make you all work your hardest. If you think your position on this list is undeserved, work hard and improve. We can't all be like wonder boy over here, but that isn't an excuse to avoid working out." Aizawa said as he stared at Izuku.

Shouto however was furious, not only was his quirk useless during this exam, in fact both halves were. But this upstart fire user did better than him. He refused to be outdone by anyone who even slightly resembled endeavour. He would have his revenge as soon as the chance was given.

Shinsou was just internally praising whatever deity had saved him.

Momo was sad she got fourth but she's not too surprised, she is only using 1/20th of her power after all. It would come with time she thought.

"Make sure you all collect a syllabus from the room and then head back to the dorms, you all are done for the day." Aizawa said dismissing them.

Izuku decided to wait for Momo outside of the class, he wanted to walk back with her after all and to congratulate her for doing so well. When she finally walked out of the room. Izuku was so ecstatic to greet her, he took a glance around making sure no one was looking before he pecked her on the cheek. "How's the new number 1 doing?"

Momo was blushing furiously, she didn't hate it but it had come out of nowhere. "C'mon Izu were in public, can't this wait until later?"

"Nope." He said popping the P. "C'mon walk with me, everyone else is already heading back anyway." But before they could walk off, Iida and Uraraka both charged them.

"Midoriya it seems I have massively misjudged you, not only did you manage to get multiple scores of infinity you even got another student a score of infinity. That is the height of selflessness." He said while looking at the gravity girl, before turning back to the raven haired girl. "And you, you did amazingly on the scores. I thought your quirk was some form of super strength but you were able to just pull things out of the air, please do tell me how your quirk works."

"Yeah plus the black lightning was really cool." Uraraka said chiming in.

Wow this guy is really serious and she's just really excitable Izuku thought.

Momo replied first having already realized she needed to make something up to make her quirk more believable. "My quirk is kinda weird, the black lightning I make just seems to bend to my will, If I ask it to do something it just does it. If I want a bike it makes a bike, although I do need to know the chemical makeup of the thing I'm making and I can only make non living things. As for myself and the super strength, it's a similar thing I just think I want to be strong and the lightning does it. I honestly haven't thought of a good name for my quirk yet." She said aloud realizing that calling it creation no longer fit it.

It was Uraraka surprisingly enough who responded first. "Call it Indra, the god responsible for war, thunder, lightning, creation. The god of gods." Everyone around was kind of not prepared for the intensity that she was apparently capable of.

"... That is a good name, I suppose I shall call my quirk Indra from now on. Well there you have it Iida." She said while smiling at the gravity girl.

"Well who wants to get lunch before we head back to dorms." Uraraka asked everyone present and they all agreed, fast friends it seemed. She briefly wondered if this is what it would be like having someone who liked her for her, well besides Izuku of course. Maybe she wouldn't have to wait long before finding out.

Meanwhile back at the dorms

THAT SHITTY FUCKING DEKU,OF COURSE HE WOULD TWIST THEM AROUND HIS FINGER. He probably forced that girl to be with him too. God I am going to kill that monster when I'm given the chance. Bakugo was sitting in his room absolutely livid. How was he going to show them that a demon was lurking amongst them? He clearly had the school staff believing in his bull, and the other extras were quickly following. He couldn't let that thing remain a danger to society for much longer. Hmm he wondered, what if a 'training accident' occured. That could be the perfect way to get rid of him.

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 8: Izuku's Second day of High School

Summary:

The first day of real hero training begins.

Chapter Text

Izuku woke the next day feeling very warm and with the strange sensation of being hugged by a warm object, oh right his current very cuddly girlfriend was in bed next to him. It had been around midnight when Izuku heard a knock on his door, he was both surprised and happy to see Momo standing outside his door. Apparently she had just woken up from a nightmare and wanted to be with someone, Izuku of course relented and let her into the room.

Back to the present however, Izuku clearly had not thought this through. Aizawa literally sleeps 3 doors down the hallway, he didn't like what he was about to do but he needed to get Momo back to her room fast. But then he looked down at her sleeping face and it was absolutely adorable, it'd be the equivalent of moving a sleeping cat off your lap. Thankfully his movement during his period of duress had seemed to wake the sleeping girl.

"Izu, go back to sleep we still have like an hour." Wait a minute, did she just say Izu. Oh god it was real, she really had spent last night in his bed. Okay she needed to stay calm. So she did the only natural thing possible and immediately started freaking out. She had managed to leap from the bed at ungodly speeds and was out the door before any more words could be said.

Well that just happened Izuku thought to himself. Ah well, there went my plan to take her down the side of the building using Jetstream and Silence, hopefully no one saw that. (Someone had indeed seen that).

Izuku to his credit got dressed and ended up in the classroom a good 15 minutes early. Izuku noted that Momo was not yet there, he briefly wondered if she was okay but then saw she managed to slip quietly into the room a few moments later. Neither wanted to address the elephant in the room in a public setting like this so they just took to ignoring each other. Aizawa stepped into the room a minute before class was supposed to start and just told everyone to read the syllabus while he slept.

The day passed fairly quickly Present Mic taught English, Midnight taught art history, Cementoss taught modern literature and lastly Ectoplasm taught math. Honestly Izuku was surprised by how normal the day was. This was in spite of the fact that every class was taught by a pro hero. When lunch came around Iida, Uraraka, Momo and Izuku sat together again but this time Tsuyu joined them. Her quirky frog like nature was certainly interesting, but what was more interesting was just how brutally honest she was. If she noticed or thought something she said it with zero hesitation. For example, how bad Uraraka's breath was. Apparently she had forgotten to brush her teeth this morning. He had never seen the poor gravity girl so embarrassed then again he had only known the girl for 2 days.

Izuku had finally managed to get a moment alone to talk to Momo on the way back to class. The two of them hanging back and letting the other three talk to each other.

"So are you okay?" Izuku asked the jet black haired teen.

"Yeah sorry about this morning, I just kinda freaked out. I was acting like a scared child last night." She said hanging her head low.

Izuku just looked to the side while he said. "Hey um... if you want we can do that again sometime." Trying to dodge her gaze while he said that. She stared at him for a brief moment before whispering back into his ear.

"I'd love that, Izu-kun." She said it in just the right way so as to send a tingle down his spine.

With that izuku nearly sprinted to rejoin the group in front of him, he was definitely not able to handle her teasing yet.

Back in class everyone was talking animatedly to each other. The loudest being a spiky red haired figure. He was talking to Tsuyu next to him.

"Yeah the syllabus said we are doing hero training but it just left the name blank. It's really weird." Said the spiky haired figure. Izuku should probably get his name later if he's friends with Tsu.

It was at that moment that Izuku and some of the other students heard it, very loud very long footsteps before they stopped at the door to the classroom briefly before it slammed open and the figure of All Might in his buff form stormed in. "I HAVE COME THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON." The number 1 shouting as he did.

Izuku just responded with a quip "Um All Might-Sensei that isn't how normal people come through a door." He watched as the man took a step backwards closing the door then quickly reopening it.

"I HAVE COME THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A WEIRD PERSON." He shouted this time and Izuku and a couple of the other students couldn't help but laugh at that. The rest of the class being too shocked to respond. Izuku heard Tsuyu make a comment about how that was his silver age costume, he was kind of impressed that someone else was as much of a fanboy as him.

"HERO BASIC TRAINING! It's basically how to hero 101. No time to dally we shall be starting off with this, it's time for BATTLE TRAINING." All might said holding up a card that had 'Battle' written on it. Bakugo in front of Izuku looked happier than Izuku could ever remember the boy being. "And for that you'll need these." A bunch of slits in the wall started opening revealing cases with the numbers 1-20 written on them. Ah their hero costumes Izuku realized after the boy with the weird circle shaped elbows shouted behind him. Everyone was told to change and meet All Might at Ground Beta once they were done.

"Well well well you bunch of Zygotes. They do say that clothes make the man, and today you are all officially heroes in training, and I must say you do look the part now." All Might said with his usual fervor.

Izuku's costume was a fairly unassuming one, just a black hoodie, black cargo shorts and a mask with the infinity symbol it, after all Izuku wanted to be an underground hero what better way than to never show your face.

Momo on the other hand, what she was wearing could barely even described as a costume, it was just a red leotard that barely covered anything, Izuku knew Momo needed to show her skin in order to use her quirk but when you take it this far you start to wonder if she might also be an exhibitionist. Izuku was gonna talk to her after this.

Iida spoke next. "Sir I noticed we are at Ground Beta. Are we doing battle with robots again?"

"No, you shall be moving onto step 2, It's time for anti personnel indoor training. Villain battles are most commonly seen outdoors, however the most vile villains are going to appear indoors, lurking in the shadows. A smart villain hides, a dumb one flaunts after all." All Might responded.

"You will be splitting into teams of two and fighting each other one team shall be the heroes and the other shall be the villains."

"So no basic training?" said Tsuyu.

"Practical experience is the best teacher as I always say." Before anyone else could cut him off he whipped out what appeared to be a script. "Listen up! Here's the deal. The villains shall be hiding a nuclear weapon somewhere inside their hideout. The heroes will have to go in and secure the weapon or defeat the villains within the allotted time to win. The villains must protect the weapon or defeat the heroes within that time to win. Teams will be determined by random drawings."

Iida cut the hero off. "Sir is it really best that we determine this in such a haphazard way?"

Izuku was the one to respond letting Iida know that often pro heroes don't get to choose their partners in emergency situations.

"I see. I apologize for getting ahead of myself." He said bowing deeply.

It is fine Young Iida but let's just get to it. Come draw a lot in class order." He held out the box for people to come take one.

The teams ended up being

Team A: Izuku Midoriya and Shinsou Hitoshi

Team B: Shouto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji

Team C: Momo Yaoyorozu and Ochako Uraraka

Team D: Bakugo Katsuki and Iida Tenya

Team E: Mina Ashido and Yuga Aoyama

Team F: Koji Koda and Rikido Sato

Team G: Kaminari Denki and Kyoka Jirou

Team H: Tsuyu Asui and Tokoyami Fumikage

Team I: Ojiro Mashirao and Toru Hagakure

Team J: Ejiro Kirishima and Sero Hanta

"Now for the first match we have Team A vs Team D. With A being the heroes and D being the villains. Both teams will have 15 minutes to prepare."

Izuku looked over to Bakugo who looked ecstatic about that the fact they would be fighting so soon. Ah well guess that just means I get to beat into him that he's weaker than me.

He looked around briefly to find his partner Shinsou had already started walking to the starting point. Izuku quickly ran over to catch up with him. "Hey your the one that asked me the question about villainous quirks last night." Shinsou merely nodded at him. "Sooooo, what's your quirk? I kinda need to know if were going to make a plan, although I do already kind of have one."

The boy hesitated before responding, "Brainwashing, I can make anyone listen to my orders if they respond to a question of mine." He looked at the broccoli headed boy, waiting for the fear that always arrived after he let someone know what his quirk was. It never came.

"Wow that's amazing, that can be used in so many situations. Like you can end a hostage situation with a knock knock joke. Are there any other limitations? Can you force people to go to sleep? Can you make people forget things? What about forcing people to like things they didn't previously?"

Shinsou just stared at this boy, what the fuck he thought as he listened to the rambling of the boy continue. "So you were being serious yesterday? You don't believe in villainous quirks?" Attempting to stop the boy mid rant.

Izuku just started laughing before tapping the boy on the arm. "Boom, you have no quirk now. Am I a villain?" He said as he slapped the arm on the boy again.

Shinsou shuddered as he felt his quirk return, if people were afraid of him they must have been absolutely terrified of this boy. He hadn't even felt his quirk leave, imagine if this kid wanted to be a villain he could just walk through a crowd taking everyones quirks as he went. "Just let me say, thank god you aren't." He said shuddering again as that thought left him. "Alright so what's the plan?" Shinsou asked.

"Well as you can tell Bakugo absolutely despises me so he's gonna be gunning for me. We have 15 minutes to get the bomb and I'm fairly certain we can take Bakugo down together fairly quickly so let's stay together. I'll use a few of my quirks to keep a lookout for him and once he's taken care of I'll use dark vision to find the bomb. Iida should be guarding it which will make it easy for me to spot. We can probably provoke Bakugo into responding to me so can I borrow your quirk for that?"

Shinsou just frowned back at him, "Bakugo unfortunately knows my quirk. I used it on him yesterday when he started screaming at me. Sorry Midoriya."

"No worries, That was just the easiest way to win I'm fairly certain I can handle him regardless." He said as he smiled back at the boy

It was kind of unnerving having someone talk back to him so casually Shinsou thought, no one has ever done that before. Not even his parents, and he definitely wanted to try using his quirk like Izuku suggested later, maybe Izuku would let him try it on him? His thoughts were cut short as a voice carried across his intercoms.

"All right your prep time is up. Heroes you may begin your infiltration now."

Izuku thought to himself this was the first time he could fight with all his quirks, he made a mental check running through all of them as he prepared himself. He felt it, he felt strong. All quirks online, let's do this All for One. He activated Dark Vision, Tempo, and Zoom to find the room that had the the bomb, it appeared to be on the 5th floor and Bakugo was rapidly approaching them from his position on the second floor. He cut his visions off as the eye strain reached him. "Bakugo's on the 2nd floor about to rush us, the bomb is either on the 4th or 5th floor being guarded by Iida."

Shinsou had just been staring at the boy while he did this. Wow no wonder he got in on super recommendation. He identified the objectives and the enemies location within 5 seconds of entering the building. "Want to wait here and ambush him?" Shinsou asked.

"Nah let's keep walking forward I'll use only Dark Vision for a bit to reduce the strain on my eyes but we'll know when he gets close even without zoom." They walked quickly towards the stairs to the next floor when Izuku noticed a yellow silhouette waiting behind a corner. He paused holding his hand up and pointing at the corner while looking at Shinsou behind him. "Kacchan, ya know if you hadn't been a dick yesterday you would know you can't hide from me.

Bakugo walked out from behind the corner. "Of course the little monster has a quirk that can let him see through walls. Who did you take that from?" He said spitting at the floor.

Aw man they could have used Shinsou's quirk after all, oh well. "Ah you know, just a second degree murderer. The usual." Izuku said as sarcastically as possible, before Jetstreaming straight at him.

Bakugo was surprised when Izuku suddenly shot towards him but on instinct Bakugo pulled back his right arm to lead with his usual opener.

Of course he fell for it, Izuku sighed he had honestly been hoping for more of a fight than this but if Bakugo is going to be the this obtuse might as well kick him while he's down. Izuku grabbed the outstretched fist before an explosion could be let off and used Bakugo's momentum in order to throw him over his shoulder. Bakugo landed roughly thudding against the ground. Izuku quickly stole his quirk while Bakugo was reeling from the pain, then held his right hand palm facing Bakugo before speaking. "You know I'm actually kind of disappointed Kacchan, that was too easy." He just fired a blast from his right, knocking Bakugo out instantly. He reached into his pocket grabbed a spool of capture tape and wrapped it around the unconscious boy.

Shinsou was dumbstruck, Midoriya just beat the person who got first in the entrance exams in 2 seconds flat. Hell the only reason Shinsou got in was rescue points, he had managed to keep some weird kid with grape hair from getting crushed by a 0 pointer, but Bakugo only had combat points and he still got first, that same person just got absolutely demolished. HOW strong was Midoriya?

"Bakugo Katsuki Captured, one villain down." Ran over the intercom.

"Whelp one down one to go, you ready Shinsou?" Izuku said smiling at him.

"Uh... yeah lets go." Shinsou had been scared before but now he was horrified when he thought of having to fight the person before him.

"Oh and I got Explosion until the end of this but I don't think it's going to help much. You want to handle Iida? I could but I want to let you get some credit too."

"Yeah he doesn't know my quirk, I got it." Shinsou said nodding

They both calmly walked to the 5th floor. Izuku looked at this watch, good they had 5 minutes left. Once they got outside the room Iida was in Izuku let out a loud explosion hoping to startle Iida.

Shinsou just shouted with the fakest voice he could make. "It's over villain we have already defeated your partner."

"AHA BUT YO-" And that was it. Shinsou walked over and touched the bomb.

"BOMB SECURED HERO TEAM WINS!" shouted All Might over the intercom.

Shinsou let Iida out of his control while Bakugo was being led away by stretcher drones.

"It seems I have been bested today, Shinsou you have a great Quirk." Iida said while bowing. "You may have gotten me this time but next time I shall be more careful."

Shinsou just shrugged back at the overly zealous boy bowing in front of him. Izuku cut in after that. "Let's go guys, they are probably waiting for us before discussing the match."

"Welcome back you three, and before you ask Young Bakugo will be fine. He should already be on his way back here, he only needed a light recovery after all." All Might said with his usual bravado from the front of class. "Ah speak of the devil, now we can continue with the after action report. So who in this match was MVP." A lot of the class was shouting Izuku's name but he was busy giving Bakugo's quirk back.

"You know if you took the time to learn about my quirks it wouldn't have ended that quickly. Get over yourself Bakugo and you'll go far." Izuku said to the spiky haired teen. Bakugo just glared at him and walked off.

"And why is Young Midoriya MVP?" All might asked the class.

Momo was the first to respond she didn't even raise her hand she just started talking. "Midoriya's the MVP for many reasons, he was the one who created their plan. He managed to identify how his enemy would attack, he knew of their quirks and weaknesses. He's the one who located the bomb, he absolutely crushed Bakugo in a 1v1 and he even gave Shinsou a part in the plan at the end so he could get credit. Not only that but he was brutally efficient, he had accounted for everything the enemy could have possibly thrown at him. For all those reasons Izuku deserves MVP." There were many mixed responses to that tirade she just went on, All Might looked shocked, Bakugo was furious when he heard how he got wrecked by Deku, and Mina was just thinking about the part where she used Midori's first name.

"Erm well yes, everything is as you say Young Yaoyorozu. That is indeed the reason why Young Midoriya was MVP." All Might was so proud of his two successors at that moment.

"Alright next is Team B vs Team I. Team B you are the heroes."

Finally Shouto had his chance to show off, Midoriya might be strong and he didn't even use his fire to win that last match but thats just because his opponents were so weak. He's going to end this instantly and prove he's better. And prove that he did by freezing the entire building in seconds both immobilizing the Villain team and instantly securing the bomb.

Everyone back in the recording room was shocked. They all wanted to see Midoriya vs Todoroki now and we're all wondering how that would turn out.

The matches proceeded quickly until the last matchup was declared.

"After that exhilarating performance by team G it's now time for the final matchup. Team H vs. Team C. Team H will be the Heroes. Take your places your prep time has begun." All Might was hoping this match didn't take too long. He was running out of time.

Momo looked over at Uraraka and then back to the bomb. Thank god they were on defense that gave them a huge advantage. Her boyfriend being such a huge nerd was about to give them a serious boost, thank you Prism 6 Siege. "Uraraka you ever played any tactical video games?"

Uraraka was surprised, she didn't think Yaoyorozu was the type to play them. "Sorry no I don't really play video games." she said while scratching the back of her head.

"That is quite alright but I do have a plan. We're going to play defense and just make them unable to enter the room. Neither of our opponents have anything that explosive or damaging so it should be quite easy to do so. My quirk takes more fat the bigger the object is, but it doesn't care about weight. Have you heard of Osmium?" She said looking at the wall with a smile.

"Um no I can't say that I have." Uraraka was feeling really dumb now, both Yaoyorozu and Midoriya were so much smarter than her, she grimaced.

"Well let me introduce you to the densest material on the planet." Momo said this while creating a sheet of osmium that hit the floor with a thud, she had found she could substitute the energy of One for All instead of fat so she basically had access to infinite resources. "Use your float to pick these up and were going to line all the walls and the door with them. Then we just sit back and wait for an easy victory."

Uraraka didn't think it would be as easy as that but when she went to float the massive sheet of metal in front of her but she noticed that it almost hit her weight limit, HOW HEAVY WERE THESE?

When Momo saw the shock on the girls face she justarted mechanically stating the materials properties."Osmium the world's densest material weighs 22 grams per cubic centimeter or roughly half a pound per centimeter." Momo smirked as she did the math, the sheet of Osmium she made should weigh roughly 2,500 pounds.

"I'm going to use lighter material so we can line the walls as well, we don't want the floor caving in after all." The rest of the sheets covering the walls were made of carbon steel and could easily hold back any impact Tsuyu or Tokoyami were capable of. She didn't have enough time to cover the floor and she couldn't realistically cover the ceiling so even with float this would have to do. Once she was done with that she made two tranquilizer guns handing 1 to Uraraka. "In case they somehow get in shoot them with one of these and they'll be out for the next 10 minutes." She then explained how reloading them worked and handed her some extra bullets.

The guns ended up being unnecessary however as after 5 minutes they heard someone try the door, then the banging started, that lasted for a good 8 minutes before the hero team just unceremoniously gave up.

"Well I guess that's it then. Knowing when to give up is an important trait for a hero as well. VILLAIN TEAM WINS."

Uraraka floated the osmium sheet out of the way to find the other 2 heroes just sitting on the floor exhausted and bruised, she then looked around noticing how damaged the walls were. Apparently they had been VERY persistent. "Um if it makes you guys feel any better I basically did nothing too, that was all Yaoyorozu." She looked dejectedly at the floor after that.

The bird person was the only one who responded. "Truly a mad banquet of darkness."

Back in the observation room everyone had gathered. "Well I would ask who the MVP was but it's pretty clear in this one. Congratulations Young Yaoyorozu, the ingenious usage of your quirk as well as your extreme knowledge of the elements have served you well, Osmium was it? These are the reasons for your team's victory. I'm proud of all of you, take your failures and use them to strengthen yourselves. And with that you are dismissed. I AM LEAVING LIKE A HERO WOULD." All Might said as he dashed down the hallway.

Well that was abrupt Izuku thought. Everyone else had already begun to file out but Momo hung back after she saw Izuku waving to her.

"Hey Momo great job. You've gotten so much better with your quirk, I remember when you just used your quirk to make metal sticks." He smirked remembering the first time Momo told him about her quirk and what she could do with it.

Momo was blushing at that. "C'mon don't tease me about that. I was 10 alright."

"Yeah I know. Wanna go get dinner?" Izuku noticed her brighten up immediately after that.

"Yeah I may have overused my quirk a bit. I'm starving let's go." And off they went. unbeknownst to them they had a stalker in the form of a pink haired alien girl.

Meanwhile Bakugo was angrily stomping down the hall way back to the dorms, he couldn't believe it. That stupid 3D printer was right, I got fucking destroyed. I lost in two seconds, how the fuck did deku get this fucking strong. I couldn't take him let alone fucking icy-hot.

His ruminations were interrupted when a very large very fast man jumped in front of him. "I AM HERE .Young Bakugo, you should not let your pride destroy you. Pride is a good thing but you must realize that here you are no longer special. Where you came from you were great but that was the small time my boy. Everyone here is a potential Hero of the greatest quality."

Bakugo was fucking pissed to say the least, hearing All Might talk down to him was downright insulting. "THE FUCK DOES THAT MATTER ALL MIGHT HUH? I COULDN'T WIN, I GOT FUCKING DESTROYED BY DEKU OF ALL PEOPLE. IT WASN'T EVEN A FIGHT IT WAS A FUCKING SLAUGHTER. WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF YOU DON'T WIN."

Ah so that was the core of the matter All Might thought. "Young Bakugo, you will not win every fight, even I have lost fights before believe it or not. As I said earlier everyone here is in the big leagues, if your loss bothers you this much then improve and win the next time.

"FUCK YOU ALL MIGHT, I'LL PROVE IMMA BE THE BEST EVEN BETTER THEN YOU. FUCK!" Bakugo screamed at All Might as he left.

Well at least his competitive spirit has been lit. That counts for something Toshi.

Chapter 9: Hide and Go Seek Hero Style

Summary:

Stealth Training

Chapter Text

It was the next day of school and class was just about to start, Izuku was looking forward to seeing the eclectic man that happened to be their teacher. He was kinda weird and super strict but overall Izuku really liked Aizawa-Sensei.

The man in question entered the room slamming the door behind him with a bang a few moments later. "Quiet down class." There was a pause as the class quieted. "Hmm 7 and a half seconds, good you are improving already. For today's homeroom we will be reviewing the battle training you did with All Might yesterday. The main points i'd like to hit are these as you will be doing hero training later today as well. Bakugo don't get so upset you are not a weak student, you got 1st in the entrance exams after all. Todoroki good control with your Ice as usual but I haven't seen you use your flames once yet, come talk to me after school ends. Tsuyu, Tokoyami, you both just pounded on a metal slab for 8 minutes straight and then gave up without even trying to do something else. That is the literal definition of insanity, next time try other options before giving up, there will be many times as a hero where giving up is simply not an option."

The two heroes in question looked downcast after that.

Aizawa continued "If you weren't happy with your results use this failure to work harder. Now you will be doing something important today. Normally you would be selecting a class president and a vice president but as you know Problem Child over here is already your Class President. It was one of the terms placed on him Principal Nedzu if your wondering. So you will just be selecting a vice president, do it however you want, you got till lunch. If you need me, well don't." The man quickly climbed back into his yellow sleeping bag.

Everyone instantly started raising their hands and screaming pick me, even Bakugo surprisingly, Izuku would have thought that he would hate the idea of being underneath him. Iida was the one broke the chaos by screaming loud enough to overpower everyone else. "We should do this like heroes and decide electorially, the person who is given the most votes deserves the spot clearly."

The ear jack girl spoke next, "Won't everyone just vote for themselves?"

"If they managed to earn the trust of their fellow students by the third day then they more than earned the position." Iida said emphatically.

"Alright we're doing this via election." Izuku said as he took a tissue box from the front and turned it into a makeshift ballot box. "When I walk by drop your vote into this."

After 15 minutes the votes were tallied by Izuku with the final scores being

Yaoyorozu: 7

Iida: 3

Bakugo for Class President: 1 (Oh he was trying to impeach me Izuku realized)

Shouji: 1

Todoroki: 1

Koda: 1

Sato: 1

Jirou: 1

Kaminari: 1

Ashido: 1

Wait a minute why are there only 18 votes, Izuku didn't vote for obvious reasons but someone else didn't vote either. "Hey who didn't vote? I only count 18 votes." Izuku said scanning the room, whoever it was apparently didn't want to reveal themselves. "Alright well if you don't want to vote that's fine. It wouldn't have changed who won anyway." Izuku said while shrugging. "Congrats Ms. VP."

Momo was mind blown she hadn't even voted for herself and Izuku didn't vote either, almost half the class wanted to her to be the vice president. "Well I accept wholeheartedly." She said while walking up to the front of the room.

Bakugo's outburst was next. "HOW COME NONE OF YOU FUCKS VOTED FOR ME, AND FUCK NO IS DEKU GOING TO BE PRESIDENT OVER ME."

Honestly Izuku was expecting the boy to lunge at him.

"Wow your kinda an asshole Bakugo you know that?" Said the purple haired girl with jacks for ears.

"THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME EXTRA?" Bakugo screamed at her.

This time Kaminari stepped in "Yeah that, that right there dude. We've known you for like 3 days and even we can tell your personality is steeped in a pile of dog shit."

"ENOUGH!" Aizawa jumped from his sleeping bag quirk flaring. "If you've decided already, remain quiet and study your notes until the bell rings."

No more words were spoken until the bell. "Aizawa-Sensei is it okay if I do something before everyone leaves? It's kind of important so I can use my quirk on the class safely."

Aizawa just sighed "What is it problem child?"

"I just wanted to check who I could give an extra quirk to safely, If I try to give one to someone who can't it could cause permanent damage."

Of course it could Aizawa thought even more issues with the child, he just nodded at Izuku.

Izuku taking that as confirmation walked over to the door leading out of the room. "Alright everyone! Just give me a handshake on the way out so I can check my if I can safely give you an extra quirk. It could be quite beneficial to know down the line." Everyone did as they were told and lined up to leave the room.

The first was Iida " Yeah Iida you can handle one more but I won't risk giving someone three quirks. It's too risky."

The rest of the line went as such

Iida: Yes

Bakugo (begrudgingly let Izuku touch him once Aizawa told him to do it): Yes

Todoroki: No, Izuku wondered if it was because he basically already had two quirks?

Shinsou: Yes

Koda: Yes

Shoji: Yes

Momo: No, but that was to be expected after what happened with All Might.

Ashido: Yes

Sero: Yes

Uraraka: No

Sato: Yes

Aoyama: Yes

Tokoyami: No

Kaminari: Yes? Kinda? He probably shouldn't risk this one.

Ojiro: Yes

Jiro: Yes

Tsuyu: No

Kirishima: Yes

He handed the sheet of paper to Aizawa, Roughly more than half the class could receive a quirk from Izuku, that was about what he was expecting if he were being honest.

"Anything else Problem Child?"

"No thank you Aizawa-Sensei, unless you want to know if you can handle another quirk?"

Aizawa just shrugged.

When Izuku went out to shake his hands, he found that familiar emptiness. "Yes Aizawa -Sensei you can." and with that Izuku walked out the door only to find Momo waiting to ambush him.

"Hey Ms. Prez." He said as he winked at her.

"Nooo stop. You're not allowed to wink." She started blushing, she was definitely not used to him teasing her.

"I would've voted for you by the way. Looks like I didn't need to though as they made an excellen-

An alarm started blaring right at that moment. They had no idea what it meant until Aizawa burst out the door behind them. "You two go find the other students in the lunch hall and bring them back to the class. That alarm means there is an intruder in the building. Your quirks are allowed, go!" With that Aizawa sprinted off down the hallway in the opposite direction of the lunchroom.

Upon hearing quirks were authorized Immediately started Jetstreaming down the hall. He reached the cafeteria in record time just to find the rest of the student body were stampeding down the hall toward Izuku reached deep and pulled as much of Jetstream as he could pushed the crowd back. Izuku took a deep breath and then roared, hoping to channel the fear his father was capable of. "CALM DOWN ARE YOU NOT STUDENT'S OF UA?" After a moment the stampede below stopped. Izuku returned to his normal voice and just shouted as loudly as he could. "Return to class immediately the lot of you and in an orderly fashion this time!"

15 minutes later back in the Classroom.

"All accounted for Aizawa-Sensei." Izuku said to the teacher.

"This is why I hate the media." Aizawa said as he facepalmed. "Just go back to lunch it will be extended by thirty minutes to compensate for lost time.

The second lunch was not nearly as eventful as the first.

When it came time for hero training after lunch they found that All Might was teaching it again. He strode into the room with his usual bravado.

"Hello students! After that brief interruption we had earlier, it has been decided that the training we had for today will be pushed back to tomorrow and the training for tomorrow pushed to today due to time constraints. Grab your costumes and follow me to GROUND GAMMAAAA!"

Izuku hadn't had much time to explore this place yet but Ground Gamma was incredible. A veritable maze of pipes and factories. I wonder what we'll be doing here today.

"TODAY CLASS we will be working on stealth operations. Fights can be decided in an instant if you can get the drop on your target and vice versa. There will be 15 Heroes and 5 Villains. There are two ways to win for each side. The Heroes can win by either catching all of the Villains or by finding and securing the villains intel which will be held by one of the Villains and it will look like THIS!" All Might said as he held up a briefcase. "The Villains can win by either catching all the Heroes or if the Villain with the briefcase manages to escape the city within the time limit."

All Might pulled out another script. "The plot is as follows, the Heroes have received a tip about a Villain meetup where they plan to hand off data containing the location of a large cash of drugs and weapons. Unfortunately for the Heroes, the Villains at the meeting were tipped off just as the Heroes were about to deploy. The Villains will have 30 minutes to escape via the exit gate to my left or the police will arrive and encircle the area effectively cutting off the escape route. Any questions?"

Kaminari raised his hand. "Isn't it almost impossible for the Villains to win here All Might?"

"Not at all young Kaminari, Ground Gamma is a maze in of itself, trying to find and locate one individual person will not be an easy task. Hence the stealth part of this training."

There were no more questions after that.

"Good, Now Midoriya, Bakugo, Jirou, Ashido and Hagakure. You will be the Villain team please head to location shown on the map. The rest of you are the Heroes. Once everyone is in position we will begin!

After they had arrived at the designated spot.

Izuku spoke up." Okay so I think I figured out why we are a team. Hagakure and I can specialize in stealth, Jirou and I can specialize in long ranged detection, Ashido can quietly walk through walls by melting them and I think Bakugo was meant to be a weakness and I don't mean that as an insult. Explosions aren't exactly quiet."

"FUCK YOU DEKU, SAY THAT SHIT TO MY FACE." Bakugo not liking being told he was a weakness.

Jirou chimed in next. "Please don't shout Bakugo we don't need to let them know where we are."

Well Izuku hated that he had to do this. "Bakugo I'm only letting you borrow this until the end of the exam."

"What the fuck you mean borro- and Izuku slapped him on the arm.

"Try it out, it completely silences out any noise. However the more noise it cancels the faster you will feel the effects of overuse, which is temporary deafness. Use this when you absolutely need to make an explosion and it should negate some of the problems were gonna have."

"I DON'T WANT THIS SHIT TAKE IT BACK." Bakugo screaming the whole time.

"Shut up Bakugo." Again Jirou trying to silence him

"Let's get back on track, hagakure do you have any ideas?" Ashidos turn to try and help sort out this mess.

"Um I don't know honestly. I wish I could just turn the briefcase invisible." She pouted as she said that.

"Deku take this shitty fucking quirk back." Bakugo was still irate about having a quirk forced onto him.

"Your keeping it until this is over Kacchan. No but seriously were wasting time. Alright I think the best way to do this is to obviously escape with the briefcase because 5v15s are not especially good odds but they will definitely leave a guard for the gate. I think our best bet is to have one to two people cause a distraction to buy the person with the briefcase time to get to the gate. I think either me or Hagakure should be the briefcase carrier but I can make for a better distraction so let's give Hagakure the case."

Izuku paused for a moment before continuing with his plan. "With all that in mind here's what we're gonna do, Bakugo I know you want to rampage and that's just what you'll do, get in take someone out disappear. Hit and run tactics be loud to bring them in then silent to take them out. They are going to assume I have the briefcase so I'm going to pretend to get 'caught' and then raise hell. With the distractions we cause you three are going to take the case to the gate. Ashido you make a path, Jirou you make sure theres no one on said path and then once you guys get near the gate Hagakure split off and move to the opposite side of the gate. At that point Jirou and Ashido reveals yourselves and distract them. Then Hagakure gets us the win. This takes all our best strengths into account and I think it's pretty decent. Anyone got any suggestions?"

"Yeah fuck off Deku I ain't doing shit you say." Bakugo just scoffed at him.

"Bakugo I literally made the plan so you can go fuck off and have fun blasting people, which you are going to do anyway. So your input really doesn't matter, like at all. As for the 3 people whose opinions I care about?"

"Let's do it Midori!" Ashido shouted.

Jirou nodded before saying "Sure thing green."

Hagakure just let out a whoop.

"Alright then Operation Gatewatch is a go."

Meanwhile on the opposing team

Momo was wracking her head as how to best coordinate 15 different people. Oh duh.

"Hey everyone I think we should split into 3 different groups each with a squad leader. This will keep coms a lot clearer as we can stay with our squads chat. Only use the main chat when you find one of the targets. Speaking of which Izuku will almost definitely be the one with the briefcase, he has quirks that both silence him and let him almost fly. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes Hagakure's quirk and just flies straight at us. (This same plan had in fact occurred to Izuku but he couldn't just win the whole thing by himself. The others needed training too.) So we have to be very careful until we spot Izuku. He is more dangerous than the other 4 combined, hell I'm pretty sure All Might put him on the Villain team just so he doesn't single handedly win by using UltraSight to identify all the villains locations like he did with the battle training."

Todoroki looked a little miffed that Momo clearly viewed Izuku as better than him but he let it slide. Midoriya is strong after all.

Uraraka spoke next. "So how do we wanna split teams up? I was thinking by skill type. Like all the speedy people together, they can be our strike team for example."

"That is a very sound plan, we could have the next team be defense and the last team be our scouts." Iida said as he robotically threw his hand up and down.

Momo started mumbling, the rest of the class found it very familiar. "Okay so the scouts we have are koda who can use birds to get an aerial view, Shoji with his extreme hearing, Uraraka can float herself up to get additional aerial views and lastly I can use creation to make them all magnifying goggles. The strike team will be Tsuyu as her vertical mobility is very useful, Iida for obvious reasons, Sero as he can swing around, Tokoyami as per the same reason as Sero, and finally Ojiro's tail can be used to move quickly throughout here. Everyone else should remain on defense after all we win when the time runs out and they must come to us."

The other 14 students just stared dumbfounded, all wondering if Izuku gave it to her or she gave it to Izuku.

"Okay I got the teams." She laid out her team formations and reasons for each to the class who all sat there nodding along. The only dissenter was Todoroki who just ran off saying he would defeat Midoriya by himself.

Strike Team

Tsuyu Asui

Tenya Iida

Sero Hanta

Tokoyami Fumikage

Ojiro Mashirao

Scout Team

Uraraka Ochacko

Mezo Shoji

Koji Koda

Defense Team/Everyone Else

Yaoyorozu Momo

Rikido Sato

Shinsou Hitoshi

Yuga Aoyama

Ejiro Kirishima

Denki Kaminari

All Might's voice came booming over the comm channel. "Alright let the operation commence!"

Cutting back to the Villain team Bakugo predictably just blasted off shouting expletives as he went.

"Alright so far it's going to plan." Izuku chuckled. "I just hope he uses the damn thing."

Anyway I'm going to head straight down the middle side making it look like I'm making a break for the gate. 'Fail' and 'retreat' and do my best to make some of them follow me. You guys cut left since Bakugo went right. Good luck." Izuku said before blasting off.

What Izuku wasn't expecting was to already find Todoroki waiting for him about halfway between where he started and the gate. He landed on a pipe and started looking down at the boy.

"Huh well that was unexpected, I guess I should have led with a Tempo Zoomed Dark Vision. Heya todoroki, how ya doing?" At the very least he would be getting a strong quirk out of this.

Todoroki didn't respond at least not verbally, he instead chose to unleash a massive glacier towards Izuku, like this thing was taller than the buildings and pipes surrounding him. Izuku barely managed to respond thanks to Tempoing then Jetstreaming to the side. Izuku followed that by rushing at the boy, he had 3 seconds of Tempo left, and he couldn't let Todoroki unleash another one of those while it was on cooldown. As he got closer he noticed Todoroki was shivering. Quirk overuse? Was the thing he just used his limit? 2 seconds left.

Todoroki had done it, he had defeated Izuku but then he saw the boy in question jet to the right of his glacier and charge straight at him. Shit that was near my limit, I likely only have 1 or 2 small ones left. His father's voice echoed in his ear "Embrace yourself Shoto, use your fire." NO NEVER, he refuses to lose to his left, to fire. He raises his arm weakly to let off one more blast of ice, but to his amazement the boy in front of him twists around his arm at a superhuman speed before seeing black.

Thankfully a punch with the force of a person moving at 80 miles per hour and super strength hurts like a bitch, honestly maybe I should go easier on people. That could've killed him. He took the quirk then reheated the boys body. He wasn't sure how bad the frostbite was but he didn't want Todoroki hurting himself.

Izuku stepped away from the unconscious boy before activating hot and cold, wow this feels incredible. I should ask Todoroki to let me borrow this more, normally Izuku wouldn't be more proficient than the quirk owner due to his own body not having the resistances to the quirk he stole but that didn't matter here. This quirk literally negated its own weaknesses, why didn't Todoroki use the fire ever? Ah well questions for the future.

Izuku hadn't planned on getting this quirk so quickly but with this quirk he already had a new plan forming in his head. Izuku activated Dark Vision and Zoom but without the aid of Tempo since he didn't want to overuse Tempo he was straining his eyes but holding it for only a second, a quick snapshot should be fine. No worries I confirmed that the vast majority of the Hero team is at the gate.

"Hey guys new plan, I got Todoroki's quirk, I'm going to go unleash hell on the people defending the gate. That should draw pretty much everyone onto me. All 3 of you run to the wall running alongside the exit gate then have Ashido melt it and go through. They never said which way we had to go through the gate with the briefcase." He smirked thinking it was pretty smart.

Jirou was the one who replied. "Got It Green raise hell for us.

"Also Bakugo you can join me at the gate if you want they will all undoubtedly be coming for me and how does a 2v9 sound to you?" Izuku ready for the incoming swearing.

"Fuck you Deku, I'm busy with these extras." Busy?

"Who do you have with you Bakugo? The boy asked

"Why the fuck would I know these extras names." That was the most Bakugo answer he had ever heard, wait did he just say that he wasn't an extra? WAS THAT A FUCKING COMPLIMENT?

Might as well get a Villain persona going. Gotta enjoy the little things in life after all. Izuku charged the rest of the distance to the gate but when he got closer. He stepped back and pulled at every quirk that would make him more intimidating. He rose into the sky breathing fire while he was enveloped in Ice and Fire, summoning massive blasts of air with jetstream. This felt good he wasn't going to lie.

"FOOLISH HEROES, YOU THINK YOU HAVE US TRAPPED IN HERE? IN REALITY IT IS YOU WHO ARE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH US." Izuku stated while cackling flames into the air.

Back in the viewing room

Toshinori was watching this unfold in abject terror, this was what a fully realized All for One looks like. He still had nightmares from the old one, please don't become a villain please don't become a villain please don't become a villain, Toshinori started chanting to himself.

Back to the Heroes

Everyone who was here just turned to look at Momo. The first word spoken over coms was by Uraraka who was floating nearby "Are we allowed to surrender?"

It was a shared sentiment if Momo were being honest with herself. "Well he got Todoroki's quirk so it's safe to assume he's down. Alright Kaminari we're definitely going to need you here electricity is one of the few things he's not immune too."

Izuku made the first move summoning the massive glacier that Todoroki did earlier, instantly freezing Shinsou, Kirishima and Sato. "Is this really the best you heroes can do? One attack and I've defeated three of you. A pity really."

Momo didn't have time to hesitate anymore she just started firing blindly at Izuku with the tranq gun she made. Except he was madly dodging all of them with Jetstream and other times he didn't dodge they just burnt away from the extreme heat Izuku was radiating. This was a scene from a nightmare she's pretty certain. Once she realized the ineffectiveness of the original bullets she started making more but with flame resistant material this time.

Aoyama finally got over how terrified he was and started firing his stomach laser. The unexpectedness of it actually managed to get a clean hit in on Izuku knocking him to the ground. "Do you not see how I sparkle." He said striking a pose

Momo just stared not believing Aoyama was the one out of all of them to defeat Izuku but much to her chagrin of course that wasn't enough to take her boyfriend down. It was at this point that she realized Izuku wasn't actually trying to take them down, he could have ended this from the very beginning if he wanted to. So what was he wai-

All Might's voice suddenly cut in "The intel has escaped VILLAIN TEAM WINS! Return to the viewing room everyone."

Momo whipped around to see Hagakure, Ashido, and Jirou walking out of the city with the briefcase. Had they just walked into the city from the outside and then walked back out? Does that even count?

She turned back around again but this time to examine the carnage Izuku had brought with him. If Todoroki was capable of this why didn't he do it? Pipes were broken, singed, melted, frozen solid, not to mention her poor teammates who were currently popsicles.

"Fucking DEKU! I HADN'T GOTTEN TO KILL ANYONE YET!" Bakugo screeching as loud as he could over the mic.

Izuku's ears were beginning to hurt. I better go thaw out everyone he thought. The terrified looks of the people he saved made him think he may have gone overboard here. He just sheepishly looked down "Sorry."

Momo saw this and she wanted to lighten the mood. "So what is our next overlord of darkness gonna be called." She jabbed him the shoulder then started laughing. Which thankfully brought a smile to Izuku's face.

"Haven't decided yet but I should thought of one before I attacked you all. How does Hell Freeze sound?"

"Terrifying Izuku, absolutely terrifying. May you reign in frozen terror forever." She couldn't help it and just started laughing. At least everyone else looks less scared now.

Back in the viewing room, Izuku found a recovered Todoroki staring coldly at him. "Hey it was a good attempt Todoroki, It's only the 3rd day you'll get better I promise and oh here's your quirk. Though I do gotta ask why don't you use the fire? It made me so much stronger."

Todoroki balked at that. He used the fire half of his quirk, he used that bastard's fire. This boy would have already have become his dad's legacy if he had my quirk he realized. "None of your business I'm not here to make friends." and with that Todoroki retreated to the other side of the room.

Bakugo was screaming as per usual. "DEKU TAKE YOUR FUCKING DUMB ASS QUIRK BACK AND NEXT TIME IF YOUR GONNA FORCE ONE DOWN MY THROAT IT BETTER BE A COOL ONE, NONE OF THIS STEALTH BULLSHIT."

Did he just admit he would be fine getting a quirk from me? After complimenting me earlier? Either this is some weird fever dream or maybe Bakugo is finally turning around. He must have needed the quirk or something and noticed how useful it was. Still though he couldn't let the insult to his quirk stand.

"Not my fault you were too slow Bakugo and I'm not even the one who ended it. Hagakure, Ashido and Jirou did, by the way great job guys." Izuku gave them a thumbs up, while simultaneously taking Silence back.

All Might began playing the footage of Izuku's rampage and when it was finished, he wasn't quite sure how to articulate the things he just saw. "So it would seem the purpose of stealth training got lost in there somewhere. Alright so I'll ask who was the mvp and why was it young Midoriya." All Might added a laugh there to try and help

Seeing his rampage from the third person was certainly an interesting experience. He's gonna have to remember to tone it down in the future.

Todoroki was furious, that fire was never meant to be used and now the whole class has seen it on display. Shouto was already having to talk to Aizawa after this class about his quirk, the fact that there is actual proof he's making himself weaker now does not help.

The first to speak up was Kaminari "I think it might have been the part where he turned half of my team into popsicles."

"Not exactly young Kaminari, while that did contribute. Young Midoriya was not actually the one who won the exercise, that would be those three."

Jirou was the one who raised her hand next. "I think green was mvp because he tried to include all of us and not just win the thing by himself, he came up with multiple solid plans that all relied on his team to win and i'll be honest I really don't think he needed us there to win." She felt ashamed that she was basically useless during that whole thing.

Izuku saw that and it hurt him. "Jirou don't say that you were an intricate part of my original plan. I wasn't expecting to get Todoroki's quirk right off the bat, and even when I did your super hearing made sure that no one snuck up on you guys." He tried to cheer her up, it didn't work very well.

"Very well if you feel you did not contribute enough continue to work at it until you do. PLUS ULTRA!" The man sped off incredibly fast after that.

In Aizawa's office

"Alright so I want you to honestly tell me why you won't use your fire Todoroki. I don't like it when my students purposefully hold back, especially after what I saw you were capable of today." The man was not glaring per say but it was pretty close.

Todoroki just looked at man for a minute, if he told his teacher the police would get involved and he couldn't have that, but how could lie about it. There is no good reason other than the truth.

"I can't tell you Sensei. It's a personal matter." The boy trying to avoid looking at the man directly, he knew Midoriya using it was going to make this harder.

Aizawa's glare changed into something much softer. "Todoroki, you can talk to me about anything. I won't push because clearly something is bothering you but remember I will not hesitate to expel you if you keep this up. Your not even trying to reach your full potential right now, you only want to reach half of it and one day it could cost lives. Dismissed."

After he left Aizawa noticed how the boy tensed up at his first question. Probably some kind of trauma, I'll need to look into that.

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 10: USJ Part 1

Summary:

Friday arrived and the class was herded into a bus for 'rescue' training.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

It was Friday now, Izuku had just let Iida herd everyone onto the bus so they could get to wherever it was they were supposed to be doing rescue training but honestly Izuku didn't care all that much he just sat on the bus and stared out the window. He thought back to the 'Stealth' training and whatever the situation with Todoroki currently was. He wanted to help the boy but he had no idea how to. He knew something was up after all he had referred to the fire as somebody else's not his own, which Izuku took to mean as him saying it was his dad's fire. Had something happened between the two to make him resent his quirk? Hell my Dad used use fire to melt people, beat my mother and almost kill me. Todoroki better have a damn good excuse whenever I get the chance to talk to him about it. If Izuku can use the quirks of exclusively Villains to fix the world than Todoroki could do the same with the quirk of whatever Endeavour was.

Returning to the conversation on the bus.

Izuku looked over to Momo sitting beside him, she had apparently been trying to get his attention for awhile. Tsu had apparently said something to him. "Sorry Tsu I was just thinking what's up?"

"Well I usually say it how I see it and after that training session we had. Your quirk would make for a really good Villains quirk." Tsu said.

Izuku heard Bakugo snicker behind him while muttering something like called it.

"Tsu I get where you're coming but please that's a sensitive issue for a lot of people. All it takes is one bad person with a quirk doing bad things with them and suddenly every quirk is bad. In addition to that I wasn't even using my own quirk it was Todoroki's, is he a villain now?" Izuku had already explained this all to them before but he knew that people were slow to change their past prejudices and with what he had done it wasn't exactly helping his case.

Kaminari surprisingly came to back him up. "Yeah shit stains quirk over there literally only blows things up. That could be called the quirk of a terrorist, but look where he is. Despite his attitude."

Izuku just stared wide eyed at the electricity boy, was he being defended? And did he just insult Bakugo? Is he trying to die.

"THE FUCK YOU SAY PHONE CHARGER? WANNA GO?" Bakugo screaming at the person who had managed to insult him, his quirk, and his attitude all in one sentence.

Tsu pondered for a moment before answering. "Kero, I guess you're right. Sorry Midoriya, sorry Bakugo."

Izuku was just glad the matter was settled before it got even more out of hand.

Aizawa was glad his class could settle things on their own. Hopefully it would help fix whatever was going on with Todoroki. He finally spoke. "Get ready to get out were almost there."

Once they had filed out of the bus Izuku immediately noticed the giant dome shaped building and equally large pair of double doors connecting to it. Once they managed to open the doors and enter into the building Izuku was granted the sight of another pro hero, one who was wearing what looked to be a spacesuit? He was surprised he didn't know who this hero was. A common theme at U.A. it seems.

Surprising everyone in the room it was Uraraka and not Midoriya freaking out at the sight of a hero. "Oh my gosh that's Pro Hero Thirteen she's my absolute favourite. She helped inspire me to be a rescue hero."

Huh so that's what he looks like Izuku pondered.

Izuku saw Aizawa walk over and whisper something about All Might between the two of the pro heroes, to which Thirteen responded by holding up three fingers. Both Izuku and Momo looked at each other understanding the message. Realizing that All Might had used up all of his time for the day, Izuku did remember seeing a news article for today claiming All Might had stopped 3 separate crimes by himself.

"Yes I am the rescue hero Thirteen and welcome to my Unforeseen Simulation Joint or USJ for short. I have a point or two or six really I would like to discuss with you all." Thirteen said introducing herself.

That's a lot of points Izuku deadpanned.

"While our quirks are special to us and can be used to help they are also potentially lethal weapons. My quirk Black Hole creates a gap in space that eats everything around it, imagine how easily myself or a Villain could kill people with this quirk. I'm sure many of you have a similar issue with your quirks. With Aizawa you learned the limits of your quirks. With All Might you learned how to use them against other people as well as the risks of doing so. With me you'll learn how to use your quirks to save lives. That is what I want you to take away from today's training." Thirteen bowing as she finished.

Wow She's really good at speeches Izuku realized, he turned to Uraraka who was bright eyed and positively beaming. Izuku could see why she had such respect for this hero.

It was then that Aizawa turned around suddenly staring at the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Izuku as well as a few other students noticed the mans strange movements.

Izuku decided to zoom in on the spot he thought Aizawa was staring at. Was that Thirteens quirk? It kinda looked like her black hole quirk, Izuku for the first time in quite a while turned on Radiation Vision. What the, what is that? It glowed purple and seemed to be spreading outwards quickly.

He deactivated Radiation when Tempo ended to save his eyesight but when he did he noticed the purple mist expanding further allowing a group of people to walk out. A figure with hands? All over his body was first, following by some weird thing with an exposed brain and a beak AND WAIT WHAT IT HAS FOUR QUIRKS? Why are the strings all jagged and crooked like they'd been ripped in half? What the hell happened to that thing?

"Huh Sensei has the training already started?" Kirishima said from behind Izuku.

"No get back those are real villains, Thirteen get the students out of here i'll handle this."

Kaminari cut in. "Sensei I can't contact the school I think communications are down."

"Keep trying Kaminari maybe once you get outside you will be able too." Aizawa said as he prepared to jump down but his hand was caught before he could.

"Sensei you'll need this more than me but if you need backup please authorize me to help I do have a provisional license after all." Izuku said smiling at the man while handing him Super Strength.

"Heh, Problem Child what kind of pro is a one trick pony. Even if your a little bit special don't worry it's a teachers job to protect their students." Aizawa just smuggly looked at him before bounding down the stairs.

Hopefully that will be enough Izuku thought before turning around and then he saw that same purple mist from before appear between the class and the exit, but then even stranger it started speaking. "I hope you do not mind but we, The League of Villains have invited ourselves in here today to end the Symbol of Peace once and for all." Izuku shuddered at how easy they made it sound. "Might I ask where he is at? Has the schedule changed? Ah well it matters not, my job to scatter you all has not chang-".

The Villain was interrupted by Kirishima and Bakugo charging in at the mist man's body explosions flaring and steel sharpened skin stabbing at the figure. Izuku was hopeful at first but then the mist just reformed seemingly haven taken no damage whatsoever.

"Ah that was close, I forgot that while children you are still the golden eggs of Hero society. I must not underestimate you." The purple mist man said.

However right before he could move Thirteen unleashed her Black Hole upon him and it looked like it was working, that is until what Izuku thought was a smirk appeared upon the mist. "Ah yes Thirteen, you may have a powerful quirk but you have next to no battle experience." Izuku looked on in horror as a portal appeared behind Thirteen disintegrating her with her own quirk.

Izuku just barely managed to hit Thirteen with Jetstream knocking her out of the way before her own quirk could finish her off, it might not have stopped her from being injured but it was better than nothing. Izuku turned to face the mist man, deciding that now the best course of action would be to buy time so Izuku spoke. "Someone important as yourself surely must have a name? After all if we take you down here what's the exit strategy exactly?"

The mist just stared into the boy. "The League of Villains needs no exit strategy but if you must know my name is Kurogiri. Now SUFFER!" With that entire area surrounding the man was beginning to be covered by his mist before being tossed into the crowd of students. Izuku didn't hesitate before Tempoing and throwing himself at Momo but it seemed the girl had her own intentions and began moving out of Izuku's path. Shit just because he could react faster doesn't mean he could change his path on a dime, and instead of his intended target Izuku rammed into Bakugo both being sent into the mist.

Meanwhile at the plaza.

Aizawa had just erased the quirk of someone who appeared to have guns for hands, he saw the familiar look of shock going across his face as his quirk failed to activate. Aizawa threw out his capture tape accidentally snapping the neck of the man before him when he tried to pull with his capture tape. Leave it to the Problem Child to make me accidentally kill a man, ah well it wasn't like he hadn't before, after all being an underground hero isn't exactly a life full of rainbows and sunshines. Aizawa was allowed to use lethal force if he deemed it necessary and If he had to kill to protect his students then he would do so.

Aizawa turned just in time to notice a large boulder of a man about to barrel down upon him but Aizawa feeling the raw strength coursing through him merely knocked the man's hand aside before punching the man as hard as he physically could in the chest. The boulder like man crumbled almost instantly. The villains around Eraserhead had fear in his eyes, this was his element. Striking fear into Villains into the late hours of the night. He supposed he would have to thank Problem Child later, he would most certainly be in trouble if not for the extra quirk. Whelp time to end this red eyes started glowing as his hair began to float. He charged into the villains either knocking the next two out or murdering them instantly. Two down Seventy to go Aizawa mused.

Back to Izuku

The last thing Izuku remembered before the black void he currently found himself in was the roaring screams of his childhood friend as Izuku accidentally ran into him and then falling, the abyss didn't last long before it was replaced with red. Izuku realized it was fire shortly after but thanks to Fire Resistance he had no issues. He was just about to slam into the ground before he righted himself with Jetstream, he noticed Bakugo to his side doing something similar using his Explosions to land. It seems they had been warped to the fire zone of the USJ. He quickly looked around trying to find if anybody else had landed with them but found no one. It was just him and Bakugo it unfortunately seemed.

Oh boy did they fuck up putting Izuku here.

"Shitty Deku why did you run into me like that. I WAS GOING TO KILL THAT WARP BASTARD BEFORE YOU HIT ME." Bakugo shouting at him no doubt attracting whatever they had been warped here for.

Izuku just slapped him on the arm. "You wanted a fun quirk right? Well guess what pyrokinesis does Bakugo."

Izuku watched the expression on the boy go from shock to confusion to manic glee. "Once your done here bring as much fire as you can to the fountain area of the USJ. Consider this an olive branch Kacchan." Izuku realized this was the first time he had unironically said the boy's name in forever.

"THIS DOESN'T FIX SHIT DEKU AND YOU BETTER FUCKING BELIEVE I'M GOING TO ANNIHILATE EVERYONE IN THIS SHITTY BUILDING." Izuku just watched a large tornado of flames and explosions gleefully run off to crush everything in sight. Izuku briefly wondered if Bakugo could hold the fire that was briefly made by Explosion so Pyrokinesis had an infinite source of fire. Ah well questions for the future I guess and Bakugo excelled at combat if he could Bakugo had probably already figured it out.

Alright with this area taken care of Izuku needed to get back to everyone else. No doubt if they planned to kill All Might they had something up their sleeve, now let's go save our teacher Izuku. Mentally pumping himself up before exiting the area the last thing he heard before he left the fire zone was the manic screams of Villains and a familiar voice screaming die at the top of their lungs. Izuku was pretty sure he pitied the Villains at this point.

Notes:

I fixed it up Part 2 will be coming soon

Chapter 11: USJ Part 2: The end

Summary:

Battles rage all over the USJ what will the outcome be

Chapter Text

Meanwhile with Todoroki

As soon as Todoroki landed he let out a large wave of ice in the area around him instantly freezing the villains that were trying to surround him. Despite being warped here against his will at least he got a good view of the rest of the USJ from here.

Alright time to find out what the villains are up too. He approached the first villain who kinda looked like a mole and then proceeded to punch him as hard as he could in the face, knocking the guy out cold.

The villains shook seeing that. "See that's what happens if you don't answer my questions and while I am a hero it would really be a shame if I forgot to unfreeze you and your cells started to die, followed swiftly by you. Now, tell me how you plan to kill All Might."

The Villain next to the mole faced guy had never spoken so fast in his life. "The hands guy he has a weapon, he called it a Nomu. Said it was bioengineered to kill All Might. That's all I know I swear! They just promised us fame fortune and wealth if we helped kill All Might."

True to his word Todoroki unfroze them just a little so they wouldn't die but not enough so that they could escape. "Thanks I can't let you go obviously but at least you won't die right?" Todoroki started running towards the fountain area seeing his teacher fight off like 50 Villains by himself. He then noticed however that the area was littered in bodies, his teacher could get the job done it seemed.

Momo felt the black void finally recede as she landed harshly, she was going to feel that tomorrow. She looked around first noticing that they were in the urban zone and second she saw Tokoyami land next to her. His landing had been much more graceful since he used Dark Shadow to catch himself before hitting the ground.

"Hey Tokoyami did you see anyone else from our class on your way down?" She said throwing a tranquilizer to the bird making an additional for herself.

"I did not Vice President, however it seems we have company ." He gestured behind himself.

"It seems that we do. Wanna make it a competition Tokoyami?" She smirked charging up 6% of One for All in her legs.

"Truly a mad Banquet of darkness." The boy said was laughing evilly.

They cleared rooms with surgical precision using breach and clear tactics with Dark Shadow as the scout. Turns out in the age of quirks people forgot just how useful having a gun was.

Izuku had finally gotten the fountain from earlier within view and Zoomed in, thank god Aizawa-Sensei was still alright. The man was making short work out of all the villains. Still though he should really go help the man, the thing with 4 quirks worries me. A thought flashed through his head, 4 quirks was HE involved? OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT, I can't let them find out about my quirk if All for One was actually involved, but All Might said he killed him. Then again a quirk to fake ones death maybe?

Alright let's just limit myself to Jetstream and mental quirks to be safe, without Pyrokinesis Fire breathing wasn't that useful anyway. Izuku blasted off toward the man but as he got close he noticed or rather heard the handy man say "Nomu, get him."

Within a second the creature was upon his teacher thankfully Aizawa was able to hold the creature back for a bit due to a combination of Super Strength and Erasing the creatures quirks. He heard the handyman shout something about how Eraserhead was cheating.

But then Aizawa blinked and began to crumble under the beast's might. No no no c'mon move faster Izuku time for Plus Ultra.

Izuku screamed at the top of his lungs pushing everything he had into Jetstream in an attempt to knock the beast away. A miniature hurricanes worth of wind was being pumped from Izuku and without Super Strength he was barely able to keep himself from being blown backwards but the beast in front of him didn't even budge. Aizawa didn't even look at Izuku but was still shouting at him to run away.

Ah FUCK this isn't working, damn it I need to stop this thing. Thankfully he did have a plan but Izuku was going to have to be quick Aizawa wasn't going to hold on much longer. Hoping the man would at least keep the beast distracted long enough for him. Izuku charged in jumping onto the back of the creature slamming his hand down over the brain of the Nomu and then everything went black.

This was wrong, so very wrong. He could hear screaming feel the pain this creature was in. It was like being pulled in every direction at once, he felt his mind splitting under the intense pressure before a horrifying unearthly voice rang out through the abyss.

K̴̢̢͍̞̹̝͕̻̭̞̲̭̟̇̽̒ͅI̸̛͚͚̫̼̣͌̂̈͗̽̔̏͂́̃̎Ļ̵̨̨͙̹̯̞̝͉͈̼͆̍͂̅͌͂̀͑͒̽͜͝Ļ̴͇͕͌͊̇̈́͝L̷͚̤͈̬̻͈̖͉̳̦͜͠͠͠Ļ̵̢͈̬̞̻͓̰͉͙̪̲̯̱̫́́͆͑͆Ļ̴̢̘̼͈̟̼̯̃̆̉͊̈́͊̒̈͂̈́ ̸̮̼̌͊̚ͅM̸̢̧̜̩̺̰̬͍̲̹̼̙̾͑̾̈͑͂̎̚Ę̶̛̛̤̩̘̳̺̓̎͒͗̀͌͘͝E̸̗̻͗̾̇̆̍͆͝Ȩ̷̫̬̼̝̩̈́͒̆̆̆̾̂̿̃Ȩ̸̡̺̘͖̠̟͍̤͇̜̝̇͊E̷̡̝͍͎͓͈̻̣̤̰̲͉̞̱͙͂͗͑̈́̋̂͋̊̍̑̀̀͝ the voice screamed no demanded.

Nothing other than a swift death would free this creature. Izuku understood what he had to do now, he would save this thing from its suffering. His vision returned and and he rammed his hand into the brain of the creature and pulled as hard as he could ripping the brain from the stem. He hoped that would be enough to put this out of commission. The creature slumped over and collapsed into a pile.

Izuku was silently cheering inside his head but then of course the beast's brain was starting to grow back FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's it I don't care who finds out, this thing is to dangerous I'm taking it's quirks. He put his hand on the creature before it could get up and pulled as hard as he could but to his surprise the shredded strings that were this things quirks wouldn't even budge, this was worse than when he tried to take One For All. He felt like he had a chance there but this is like lifting a rock. FUCK It's gonna get up in a second or two, he turned to Eraserhead before shouting "Aizawa we gotta run we can't take this thing!"

"Kid you need to be the one to run I'll hold it off. My arm's already messed up anyway, take it back and run problem child!" Aizawa shouted that while holding his hand out. The creature on the other hand started wobbling before it finally stood. Izuku finally noticed the injury on his teachers arm, it looked ashy? Decayed? What the fuck did that. To both of their surprise though the creature didn't begin to attack them again.

They just heard slow clapping begin they turned and noticed it was coming from Handsy. "You two are really cool you know that. Eraserhead you took out like 80 people single handedly and even held off against my Nomu and you kid ripped its fucking brain out. That was like a finishing move from Immortal Combat." The clapping stopped. "But you can't beat my nomu, it was created to fight All Might and you two are just side bosses at best." It was at that moment that the mist man appeared next to handsy. "Ah Kurogiri, how did it go. Did you take care of Thirteen?"

"Thirteen is down Shigaraki but I am unsure as to whether or not they have perished, however a child managed to escape. Pro heroes are likely on their way here already." The warp gate replied.

The handsy man err Shigaraki just started raking his hands against his neck, scratching violently before grabbing the unconscious body of one of the other Villains decaying them instantly. "Ahhh that's better, Your lucky you're our warp gate Kurogiri or that would've been you. Ah well we can't win against a full squad of pro heroes, I guess that's game over. But before we go let's crush his pride a bit" he lunged at Izuku the second he said that.

Meanwhile Izuku was having an epiphany, they could win this all he had to do was touch Shigaraki and it was over but I guess the alternate is true as well I can't let him decay me or Aizawa dies as well.

"Sensei I got a plan, I need you to hold the Nomu back for as long as you can." He whispered to the man seconds before Shigaraki lunged at him.

Ah well no plan survives first contact with the enemy after all. He reached inside feeling all his quirks. All Quirks online, activating combat mode. He slammed the pedal on Tempo, followed by Fire Breathing to trip up his opponent. Shigaraki jumped back as soon as he saw the flames with a look of confusion on his face. Izuku had three seconds left, he jumped into the air with Jetstream to get directly above Shigaraki before blasting the strongest Air current he could forcing the boy into the floor as Izuku fell upon him. He was a few feet away when a portal appeared underneath him. Shit he can't turn in time Izuku felt himself launch from the void into the air a good 20 feet back, huh momentum carries through the portals. Useful to know but not very helpful at the moment. Aizawa was already started to buckle and he needed a distraction.

Thankfully one did come and it was in the form of an angry amazonian Goddess crackling with black lightning. God that's hot. "Izuku i'm here to help what's the plan."

"Alright I need the handsy ones quirk but the portal guy keeps blocking me from reaching him. Distract him and whatever you do, DO NOT let handsy touch you. His quirk instantly decays anything it touches." He whispered to the girl before silently getting ready for round 2.

Shigaraki was furious. "Couldn't those loser reject villains get anything right." As he watched yet another brat come out of the woodworks freezing his Nomu completely.

It was at this point that Kurogiri spoke. "Shigaraki perhaps it is time we leave."

"NO! KUROGIRI we are not leaving until at least one of these brats are dead." The boy cut back angrily.

Momo charged up One for All in her legs and lunged at the warp portal hoping to catch him off guard while Izuku did the same at Shigaraki. The battle quickly devolved into two seperate 1v1s while Todoroki and Aizawa were working together to defeat or at least restrain the Nomu. Todoroki's quirk was a blessing at this point as it allowed them to have Aizawa temporarily restrain it while todoroki froze it. While the creature was strong it was basically brain dead and not picking up on the strategy and it had been ordered to kill Aizawa. Whenever it broke itself out of Todoroki's ice the creature lost the limbs that were caught in the ice before they quickly regenerated. It basically became a cycle of Restrain, Freeze, regenerate, over and over. Aizawa was hoping there was a limit to the amount of times this thing could regrow its limbs but it was becoming increasingly clear that was not the case.

Izuku and Shigaraki were meanwhile playing the world's most dangerous game of tag. One touch and it would determine the winner. Without the Warp portal to protect him however Shigaraki realized this brat was starting to overwhelm him. HIM. Not to mention the brat was using at least 3 quirks, how dare this child have a quirk like Sensei's.

Izuku saw his moment and went for the kill. He unleashed a violent torrent of flames with a mighty roar. The flames quickly spread towards Shigaraki who had to jump away to avoid the flames but this was only a distraction. Izuku decided now would be his best chance to unveil Silence, he Jetstreamed through the lethal fire cloud feeling nothing thanks to Fire resistance. As he used the flames to hide his body he whizzed by Shigaraki before giving him a silent tap on the shoulder.

Momo on the other hand was getting nowhere fast, she didn't have any way to hurt this stupid things body without killing it. He kept using portals to prevent Momo from getting anywhere near the brace that served as the mists physical body. On the bright side she didn't have to defeat this Kurogiri just distract him and distracting him she was.

YES HE'D DONE IT HE FELT THE QUIRK IN HIM. But before his victory cheer could erupt he heard a sound he had never wanted to hear. Bone crunching over and over again. Izuku knew what he would see before he turned but he forced himself to look anyway. There was his teacher in a bloody puddle, arm twisted the wrong way as the Nomu kept slamming his teacher into the floor over and over again. What changed? Why wasn't Todoroki keeping up his ice assault. Then he saw it, Todoroki was covered in ice himself. HE WAS WILLING TO LET AIZAWA DIE BEFORE HE USED HIS FIRE. IZUKU WAS ABSOLUTELY LIVID. Izuku jetstream himself too close to Shigaraki on purpose, he knew the man child would try to finish him off with the quirk he thought he had. He saw the smile on Shigaraki's face turn to confusion once he realized his quirk wasn't working. Izuku then blasted the confused boy into the lake hoping that would buy him enough time to save Aizawa.

God he was exhausted, he was really overworking his quirks. He hadn't ever abused his quirks this much he realized and he was feeling the backlash of multiple different quirks at once. His eyes were getting blurry, his head was on fire, his breathing erratic and he had even managed to twist his ankle earlier after he landed on it wrong. But he couldn't stop here and so he charged the Nomu who had been too busy pancaking his teacher to realize a silent typhoon was headed its way, he whispered a silenced "It's over, your free." Before connecting all 5 fingertips with the creature on the back.

The creature in question just started screaming as it realized it was in pain it's regeneration starting to fight the decay wave being unleashed upon its body. This isn't fast enough Izuku realized tapping it on the leg then the arm then the other arm. With each subsequent touch the creature began disintegrating from another location and with each time it's regeneration fell faster and faster behind as its body was being consumed. Once both arms and one of its legs had gone Izuku felt it safe enough to get closer and just ran his hand across the rest of the creature, it finally succumbed to the decay and turned fully to ash.

With the major threat handled Izuku moved over to his teacher who lay bloodied and twisted in ways that humans aren't naturally supposed to be in, Izuku had never tried this before but his quirk was the full control of Quirks and he had to try something. He took super strength back before pumping minor regeneration into him being careful to not let all 5 of his fingers touch Aizawa. He put his hand on Aizawa and tried to force the quirk to activate, he was surprised when he felt it activate through their link. That was something he should have tried forever ago forcibly activating someone else's quirk. He wasn't able to stay like this long before he heard Shigaraki shouting at him from a distance.

"YOU CHEATER, YOU HAVE A QUIRK LIKE SENSEI. YOU KILLED MY NOMU AND WITH MY QUIRK YOU FUCKING CHEATER." The boys voice lowered from screaming to silent rage. "All Might is raising you to rival Sensei isn't he? Well he won't win and you are fucking dead do you hear me Izuku Midoriya?"

Izuku perked up when he heard he had a quirk like Shigaraki's Sensei, fuck he was right All for One is involved but at least Shigaraki is basically harmless at this point. He had to keep healing HIS Sensei after all. "If your Sensei can do the same stuff I can then how is that cheating?"

It was at that moment that Izuku saw a flaming Hurricane of explosions rapidly approaching . Finally Bakugo was here, now he had enough people to cover for him not being able to fight at the moment.

"DEKUUUU YOU SAVED SOME FOR ME THANK YOU YOU BASTARD." he roared but it was this point that Kurogiri took the initiative and warped himself and Shigaraki out of there. "GET BACK HERE YOU WARP FUCK." Bakugo shouted at the air like that was gonna work.

Izuku glared at Todoroki before returned his full attention to Eraserhead and tried to make the regeneration work faster but he knew it was slow and would barely even seal the wounds by the time any help arrived, but that's better than just watching his teacher bleed out, I can't even use Molecular manipulation to cauterize the wounds because that requires him to touch the target with all five fingers.

Bakugo saw what Deku was doing and pointedly didn't bother him instead starting to walk off elsewhere but it was at this moment that All Might finally arrived.

"IT IS FINE, WHY BECAUSE I AM HERE." and for the first time Izuku had ever seen, All Might wasn't smiling.

All Might saw what was next to Young Midoriya and immediately leapt to the spot. "I'm healing him All Might but I don't know if it's going to be enough." Izuku started sniffling before All Might pulled him into a hug promising that everything would be alright.

"The medics will be here soon my boy, just keep what your doing up. I have some business to attend to. Young Bakugo guard young Midoriya while I deal with everyone else." All Might hopped off going on to save several students and defeat several more villains.

"Pshh why do I have to guard your useless ass Deku. Can't even protect yourself huh. Guess I'll have to do it then." Bakugo said while whining about not being able to go fight more enemies.

Izuku was doing his best not to laugh. Was Bakugo a Tsundere? Fuck focus, save your teacher first Izuku.

It was Minutes later when the medics and teachers finally arrived, Izuku was glad to see Recovery Girl amongst the teachers. He basically shouted at her until someone brought her to him.

Shuzenji just looked down at her fellow coworker in shock. "Oh dear." She needed to set his bones into correct positions before she could heal him or it would heal wrong.

"I'm healing him but it's really slow and I think he's bleeding out what do I do Recovery Girl?" Izuku looked pleadingly at the pro hero for help.

"Keep what your doing up sonny a stretcher is on the way and I'll need you to come with us. You are currently the only thing keeping him alive." The youthful hero started belting out orders to the medical staff.

The stretcher arrived moments later and Izuku basically sprinted with the thing Izuku however did briefly glance around when they reached top of the stairs and was glad to notice quite a few of his classmates were safe and unharmed as he was slammed into the back of an ambulance. He had been doing this for over 30 minutes by the time they reached the school's infirmary where finally Recovery Girl told him to stop so she could begin her surgery.

Elsewhere...

"All you alright Shigaraki? Is All Might dead?" A voice came through a monitor that read audio only.

"No Sensei, we didn't even get a chance to fight All Might. Some brat with a quirk similar to yours stole my quirk, MY QUIRK and used it to murder MY nomu. He fucking cheated." Shigaraki being livid is an understatement.

"Oh do tell me about this boy Shigaraki." The voice spoke calmingly and reassuringly.

"The brat with green hair who we thought had an Air Cannon quirk, turns out he had just stolen the fucking thing. His real quirk is like yours Sensei." Shigaraki was throwing a temper tantrum at this point.

"I see, do not worry about not having a quirk. I shall grant you a new one soon Shigaraki. We may have failed but learning about a new secret weapon is just as much a victory." The voice laughed from behind the screen. "After all Shigaraki, if you bring me the boy. Wouldn't you like my quirk?"

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 12: Aftermath

Summary:

The after effects and impacts of the USJ

Chapter Text

Izuku was sitting outside of the nurse's office waiting no seething in anger and worry. Worry for his teacher and anger for a certain heterochromatic haired boy. Izuku knew he would deal with the latter first. His teacher was definitely the priority at the moment. Izuku was staring at the surgery sign that was still lit indicating an ongoing surgery but out of the corner of his eye he noticed his mentor and a recognizable police detective walking down the hallway towards him.

"Hello Yagi-san, Tsukauchi-san. I wasn't given a chance to check out what happened to the rest of the class. Is Thirteen alright? Are they alright?" Izuku turned towards the men, hoping for the best.

The skeleton answered first. "Yes, my boy everyone will be alright. Thirteen is stable and the worst anyone else suffered were minor cuts and injuries. The only major injury is Eraserhead, i'd like to thank you for what you did today young Midoriya. You undoubtedly saved many lives today." His mentor smiled at him.

The detective spoke next. "I know what you went through today was traumatizing, and you're likely not ready to answer but we need a debriefing from you Midoriya." He looked almost sad having to do his job.

"That's fine let's get this over with." Izuku went on to explain the events of the day, starting with the opening of the warp portal, getting sent to the fire zone with Bakugo, discovering the strength of the Nomu, stealing the quirk of Shigaraki, using it to kill the Nomu, Eraserhead getting hurt holding off the Nomu. Izuku left out the part of Todoroki being the reason that Aizawa got hurt, he would handle that bit personally. Thankfully leaving a piece of the truth out doesn't count as a lie so Tsukauchi didn't catch it.

"He's back Toshinori-San, i'm so sure of it. I know you thought you killed him but based off of what the villain leader said he has someone behind him and that person has a quirk like mine." Izuku paled at that, this was the literal worst situation.

All Might went white after hearing that, he never wanted to deal with All for One again and now Toshinori had failed, his successor had to fight him as well. "Are you sure young Midoriya, are you sure you didn't mishear that?"

"I'm sure All Might, I mean look at detective Tsukauchi." Izuku was looking down while he said that.

All Might saw the detective was in shock, the skeleton of a man realized how bad this was but shook it off for now. "So you currently have the main villain's quirk my boy?" All Might asked after realizing just how many quirks Izuku had been tossing around.

"Yeah I honestly kind of don't want it, can we dump it on a Villain." Izuku demonstrated by decaying a pencil that was in his pocket. "I can't turn this off, if I touch anything with all five fingers it just dies. I know Villainous quirks aren't a thing, but like this is just inconvenient." Izuku looked down again after saying that, although he should make a point with it before he gets rid of it.

"Of course my boy, we can get rid of it as soon as possible. But I want to ask if you're okay." Toshinori was worried for the boy never having seen him this dejected before.

Izuku hesitated before responding. "Um, can I talk to you in private Yagi-san?"

The detective was confused but nodded understanding the relationship between the two and walking off to go find a vending machine.

"So what's wrong young Midoriya?" All Might knew something was wrong but not exactly what.

"All Might, how would you handle a person who wants to be a hero but refuses to be the best they can be? And their inaction almost killed someone?" Izuku was looking down at his chair while he said this.

Toshinori pondered the question before responding. "Well they are trying to be a hero my boy. But if they could have done something to save someone and refused to do something that is quite the question. If I had to ask does it have to do with what happened to Eraserhead?"

"Yes." Izuku responded dryly.

"Hmm, so they want to be a hero but they're inaction caused the injury of another. I would say that they are just a student at this point and only for a week at this point after all. They may have messed up now but with time they will gain the ability to act or they will be forced to leave the Hero course. No first year students are supposed to have to fight villains after all." Toshinori giving the best advice he could.

Huh. Izuku realized the man wasn't wrong, they weren't heroes, hell they hadn't even been students for a week yet. I'll talk to him and give him a wakeup call, either he fixes himself or Aizawa expels him. That's the best he had at this point. "Thanks All Might, that helped a lot, can I ask one other thing? Where is everyone else? I really want to check up on Momo and the rest."

"No problem my boy, I took responsibility for you so it's only fair I guide you as best as I can and as for young Yaoyorozu she's in the classroom getting debriefed with everyone else if you wish to see them." All Might said.

"Got it and thank you again. Please watch over Aizawa-sensei for me." With that Izuku went rushing down the hallway to find 1-A's homeroom.

He didn't get far before he received a phone call. He saw the number and Immediately paled how had he forgotten to call his mother. The second the call connected he heard his mother's voice coming through like an unstable mess. "Izuku are you okay please tell me your okay."

"Yeah Mom I'm fine I don't even have a scratch. Our teacher saved us." Technically a lie as he had sprained his ankle but that wasn't a scratch.

"Oh thank god my babies fine. Can you please come visit this weekend I need to see you and the school won't let us in the building due to security reasons." Inko pleaded with her child.

"Yeah Mom i'll make sure to drop by but I have to go check on everyone can I talk to you later? I love you." Izuku felt bad for his mom but everyone's safety was more important at the moment.

"Fine Izuku i'm just glad your okay I saw the attack on the news. You're going to tell me what happened you hear me?"

"Yes Mom I love you and I can't wait to see you, bye." He clicked the phone symbol on his phone ending the call before he continued on his path.

Once he reached the large door he tried to pull it open as softly as he could to avoid startling the class but in his decision making he forgot about Decay and accidentally touched the door with all 5 fingers. Leaving a very startled 1-A staring at him, Izuku just face palmed.

"Sorry guys I didn't mean to scare you I'm really not used to this quirk, this is like the third thing I've accidentally decayed in the last hour alone, are you all alright? I was with Aizawa or I'd of been with you all." Izuku smiled as brightly as he could while saying that, hoping people wouldn't hold onto the fact that he just disintegrated the door.

The spiky red haired one was the first to respond. "Hell yeah Midoriya, we heard you fought that big brain Villain and the one with hands all over his body. That's manly as hell. How is teach?"

Izuku rubbed the back of his head sheepishly until that last bit. "Well um thanks first and for the second thing he's in surgery at the moment. I trust recovery girl to save him."

It was at this point Momo ran over to hug him but Izuku had to make sure not to touch her back which resulted in this really weird unreciprocated hug. "Sorry Momo i'd hug you back but you just saw what I did to the door, I still have the hand guy's quirk. I really don't want to risk decaying you or something like that."

Momo just kept her hug going for a few seconds. "I'm just glad your okay, you jumped in to fight over 50 villains and the main three threats with our PRO HERO teacher. I promise you i'll be getting revenge for that later."

"I'm sorry I know I said I wouldn't do anything that reckless again. Oh and I'm sorry this probably isn't the time but could you make me some three finger gloves? I really want to stop doing that." Izuku gestured to the door but he did honestly feel bad about breaking his promise to not put himself in danger again.

Thankfully the creation girl understood and created the gloves he asked for, but it was just after that a police officer came in he paused noticing the dust where the door used to be but just shrugged and told people they would be getting debriefed one at a time. Izuku took this chance to return to his seat but not before stopping next to the Heterochromatic teen and whispering into his ear." We are talking after this, and no it's not a question."

"Oh by the way Kacchan give me Pyrokinesis back." His frown immediately changing to one of a smile.

"IT'S NOT LIKE I WANTED YOUR SHITTY FUCKING QUIRK ANYWAY DEKU." Bakugo said that but he seemed hesitant to give Izuku a handshake but finally he relented and gave Izuku the quirk back.

At this point Izuku was snickering, Bakugo Katsuki was definitely a tsundere.

Thankfully the officer skipped Izuku as he had already been debriefed by Tsukauchi and after everyone had been called away they were finally released for the day. Izuku noticed Todoroki trying to leave quickly but he gripped him by the shoulder and just shook his head at the boy. "I told you we are talking and even if we do there's still the chance Aizawa expels you, I know what you did Todoroki." He whispered into the boy's ear.

The rest of the class was filling out but Izuku noticed Momo was waiting for him, he just held a finger to let her know to wait for him.

"Alright Todoroki it's time to come clean. Why won't you use your fire, and I swear to god it better be a good enough reason to let our teacher die because if not I swear I will do everything in my power to get you removed this class, hell this school." Izuku was livid but he would at least give the boy a chance as All Might had said, it was only their first week.

Todoroki's brows furrowed. He would never let himself be intimidated but he couldn't get the sight of his teacher getting smashed into the floor while he did nothing out of his head. It had been haunting him and he knew he would be having nightmares about it later. He relented. "Tell me Midoriya have you have of quirk marriages? My father if you could call him that was an abusive scum. He bought my mother who had an ice quirk and used her as what was essentially an egg donor until he had me, his perfect offspring. Do you know what happened to the rest? They were sidelined, my brother Touya was trained until he died. Fuyumi was neglected because she only inherited mostly my mother's side, same with Natsuo. I was his 4th attempt at his perfect child and low and behold I came out 'Perfect', a perfect combination of my father's fire quirk and my mother's ice quirk. He beat me and called it training in order to make me the perfect 'Hero' the one to surpass his legacy. When I was 5 my mother could no longer take it, she took a boiling pot of water and did this." He gestured to the scar on his face. "I will never use that man's quirk, he isn't a hero he's a villain in disguise."

Izuku while understandably shook by the story about Endeavor being as much of a shitbag as he was, he knew he needed to take the initiative here, so he reacted in the one way he knew the boy wouldn't expect. He laughed as hard as he could. "So what does that matter you fucking moron. Do you know who my father was? Tell me have you heard of the dragon? He has a bodycount of 32 people, he burned them to death with his firebreath and guess what, HE was my father. Jetstream? Used by a woman to murder over 20 people on some kind of psychotic joyride. Pyrokinesis? The sociopath used it to trap people in burning buildings so he could listen to the screams of the dying. SO DO YOU THINK I GIVE A DAMN WHEN YOU AREN'T EVEN USING THE SAME QUIRK? IT'S YOUR GOD DAMN QUIRK AND TODAY YOUR INACTION MIGHT HAVE KILLED OUR TEACHER! I'm telling you this for your own good, it's not the quirk that makes one a murderer it's the user. Shape up or give up Todoroki." With that Izuku stormed out of the room, he was really glad Momo was there waiting outside of the room for him or he would have probably broken something.

"Izuku are you okay?" Momo looked genuinely worried.

"I'm better since you're here. Let's go okay? I don't want to be here anymore but I've got the perfect place to I want to see." Izuku grabbed her by the hand so he could lead her off.

"Oh when did you get so smooth." She winked at him and Izuku immediately started blushing.

Back in the room however Todoroki was having an existential crisis. He was googling the dragon on his phone and sure enough the body count and familial connection was made clear. Hisashi Midoriya, Midoriya was using the quirk of his father, a criminal, and he was using it for good. So why couldn't he? Todoroki stared at his left side for awhile before he walked off.

At Dagobah Beach 3 hours later

"I'm sorry I dragged you all the way out here Momo, I just really wanted to see the view for a bit. This place is so beautiful now, you did an amazing job, you know that right?" Izuku wasn't even looking at her as he stared off into the sunset.

"I know but more reminders wouldn't hurt." She too was entranced by the view.

"Hey Momo the school gave us off the next few days, want to meet my mom?" Izuku asked

Momo didn't hesitate before responding. "Of course I would and I want you to meet my parents as well, just don't freak out when you see my house please."

"So my place tomorrow and then yours after that?" Izuku turned to smile at her.

"That would be fine with m-" She was interrupted by a pair of lips meeting her own.

"You know your the best right and you've earned everything you currently have? I know you get kinda down on yourself but this was all you, you are all you." Izuku gestured to everywhere around them.

Momo was startled by the sudden kiss but was able to recover quickly enough. "Ahem, I think we shouldn't do such activities in public... but I wouldn't mind it back at the dorms." She let out that second bit as quietly as she could.

"Oh eager are we. Well I think we could set something up." He smiled at her blushing face. "There's a really good ramen place around here though that we should check out beforehand." Grabbing her by the hand before leading her elsewhere.

The couple ended up at a very small Mom and Pop type ramen store. Momo was kind of surprised Izuku was able to find this considering how small it was. "Um, Izuku if i'm being honest i've never had ramen before. My parents said it wasn't for me." Momo blushed as she looked away.

"Well consider this my first lesson in teaching you how to live like the rest of us, but I guess you won't have too 1 hero." He stuck his tongue out at her while saying that.

"Cmon Izu, you've been teasing me enough tonight, and besides i'm only up to 6% I have so far to go." Momo was beet red at this point.

"Momo you'll do great now do you like spicy food?" Izuku just kept rolling.

"Um yes?" She responded

"Perfect, when I was really young and me and Kacchan were still friends we came here all the time. He loves spicy food. I highly recommend the fiery shop special." Momo noticed Izuku had a sad look on his eyes for a brief second when he said that.

"Forgive me for prying but it seems like you and Bakugo had a history, could you tell me more about it Izu and also i'll take your recommendation." Momo really wanted to know what broke those two up.

"Hmm well I'd have to start way back. At the age of four I was diagnosed quirkless and Bakugo was diagnosed as having this amazing quirk. I think the constant praise got to him. Imagine being told your better than everyone else for 10 years of your of life, eventually you'd start to believe it. It wasn't until I was 10 that I discovered my quirk and the very first one I took was Bakugo's quirk. I'd say it was wrong of me but it set me on my current path so I don't regret it at all and to be honest after 6 years of being bullied by him he deserved it. Thankfully he's starting to turn over a new leaf, he's still loud, obnoxious, and a complete asshole but I can see him starting to realize where he went wrong. I got over him long ago but now I think that he realizes being in the top 1% doesn't matter when your with the rest of that 1%. I do hope he changes for the better though." Izuku said all this with a wistful look in his eyes.

"So he was a bully and you punished him for it, that's how your whole situation came about?" Momo asked.

"Pretty much yeah, but it led to meeting All Might and more importantly you. So I can't be sad about it. I've never said this before but I love you Momo, I'm pretty sure I have for awhile." It was Izuku's turn to blush after that but he tried to be confident while he said it.

Momo to her credit managed to not go full tomato. "I think I love you too Izu. I think I have since the hospital incident. I realized you not being in my life would probably be one of the worst things that could happen to me. The USJ scared me Izu, I saw you fighting those scary villains with only Aizawa-Sensei at your side. If something had happened to you I wouldn't have forgiven myself."

Izuku just smiled at her. "Yeah you saved us Momo, without you I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Nomu thing. I couldn't have taken the warp quirk guy and handys man at the same time."

They ate peacefully for awhile, Izuku admiring the face of a Momo trying to handle a 750,000 scoville unit ramen, he probably should have told her how hot it was but watching her freaking out about the heat was more fun. Their peace was eventually interrupted by a phone call.

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 13: Aftermath part 2

Chapter Text

They had just finished their ramen and were heading back to campus when Izuku received an emergency call from principal Nezu. Momo saw the name and was equally intrigued by the reason for the call.

"Hello Nedzu? Izuku speaking." He was hoping something didn't happen.

"WHERE ARE YOU? WHY DID YOU LEAVE CAMPUS?" The mouse was screaming and Izuku had never heard the man lose his temper before he was really worried now.

"I just went with Momo to get Ramen and look out at the sunset? Did something happen?" Izuku was very confused.

"DID NO ONE TELL YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE CAMPUS? You are being targeted by you know who and not only does he know about you now he has a warp quirk on his side. Kidnapping you in a public space would be child's play. Get back to campus immediately, quirk usage is authorized. We can't let him take you Izuku, I swear how did neither All Might nor Tsukauchi tell you not to leave. I'm going to severely discipline them later but regardless get back to campus immediately and head to my office to report in once you do." The mouse hung up on a very bitter note.

Momo was staring at him from the side with fear in her eyes, Izuku meanwhile was cursing at himself for being stupid. "Momo it's time for a hang glider, we're flying back." Thankfully Momo understood and quickly created one, they both hung on as Izuku launched them into the sky to fly back towards the safety that is the campus of U.A.

"Izuku who is you know who?" Momo looked at Izuku mid glide.

Izuku sputtered, well I should tell her now that he's alive. "Momo i'm not the first person with my quirk, the previous user well we found out he's still alive today and he has been for over 200 years. A quirk to stop aging perhaps? All Might had thought he'd killed him but the enemy basically confirmed he's alive. I won't sugar coat it, he's going to come for us at some point. We both have quirks he will want with abandon."

Momo was shocked she knew a villainous user of Izuku's quirk would be scary but that was hypothetical, now that it's real the thought terrified her. "What do we do Izuku?"

"The only thing we can do, we prepare and oh please do not tell All Might I told you. He'll want to do it on his own terms." Izuku was paling realizing how stupid he had been.

Thankfully it seems the enemy did not have any plans for them today and they safely flew over the border of the U.A. wall.

"Well we made it at least. I've never heard Nezu scream before I must've really fucked up, I'm sorry I took you out Momo." Izuku realized he had probably gotten the girl in trouble as well.

"No, no it's fine I wanted to go with you remember? Let's just get to the principal's office before he gets even angrier. We weren't told not to so we can't be in any real trouble." At least Momo hoped so. They walked in silence the rest of the way to the massive double doors of the principal of U.A. Izuku knocking before opening the door.

"We're here Principal Nedzu. We used a hang glider to get back I hope that won't be too much trouble." Izuku said while rubbing the back of his head before remembering. "More importantly is Aizawa-Sensei going to be okay principal Nedzu?" Izuku blurted out.

"First on the matter of Eraserhead he will be okay but he will have permanent damage in his right eye, which is a lot better than the alternative had you not intervened. Secondly your usage of quirks is fine I authorized their use after all. Finally and far more importantly I can't believe how stupid you were today, especially after what just happened. While I can't really blame you since the two responsible for letting you know failed to do so. I'm sorry Izuku but you must remain on lockdown on U.A. where it is safe for the foreseeable future. The worst case scenario has been realized and the enemy knows of you and your quirk, anything less would be foolish." The principal of U.A. made it clear there would be no discussion on the matter.

Izuku realizing the plans he and Momo made earlier were ruined, he had to try something. "Umm principal Nezu if I can't leave can people visit? I had plans off of campus tomorrow."

"That is fine Izuku however you must wait a while before I can authorize anyone entering campus, while your safety is the most paramount, everyone is on lockdown not just you. That being said I must stress how important it is that you remain vigilant. Even on campus, the enemy with the warp quirk makes it so unexpected attacks can occur out of nowhere. We are trying to find ways to block that quirk's usage but doing so will take time. In the meantime, be safe and trust in U.A. to keep you safe. If anything feels remotely off you let us know immediately. I would rather it be a false alarm than the alternative, so feel free to cry wolf so to speak. Also I told your class to hold a meeting regarding today's events, I believe they are waiting for you two in the common room, inform them of everything we have discussed. That is all Izuku, please take Ms. Yaoyorozu and yourself back to the dorms for the night and remain there." Nezu said dismissing them.

However Izuku stood firm. "Principal I need to talk to you about something, Momo I promise i'll tell you when I can but could you wait outside? It's another not my secret to tell kind of deal. I'm sorry." Izuku looked dejected that he had to hold the truth from her again.

She saw the look of pain on her boyfriends face and realized this must be pretty important. "It's okay I understand." She tried to reassure him.

Once she was out of the room Izuku continued. "Nedzu I learned something regarding Todoroki. I know something is likely going to happen to him since he basically let Aizawa die but I talked to him and..." he trailed off not sure how to continue.

Thankfully the highly intelligent rat picked up on it. "He has reasons for not using his quirk?"

"Yes but please don't tell him I told you. I mean he didn't exactly tell me not to tell anyone but it's incredibly personal. His father Endeavour, the number two hero. If what Todoroki told me is a person of the worst variety." Izuku paused before Nezu encouraged him to continue. "He's responsible for the death of one of his children and he abused and neglected the rest. He drove his wife to insanity who in turn poured boiling water onto Todoroki's face causing the scarring."

The principal's face turned dark. "He told you this, are you sure? I know you said not to inform him that you told us but as the principal of U.A. high I must make sure my students are safe. We will have to confront him on this but we will keep your name out of it."

Izuku was equally serious. "Yes he told me all of this without a doubt. Enji Todoroki is a bad person and an even worse father. I suspect his legal team and status as the number 2 hero is the only reason he isn't behind bars."

The mouse was sympathetic knowing the pain and abuse humans were capable of. "Alright I will handle this, thank you for bringing it my attention Izuku. You are dismissed."

Izuku passed Power Loader as he exited the room. Seeing Momo on a waiting chair outside of the room he walked over to her.

"Well I guess I'm on house arrest." Izuku said while laughing at Momo.

She did not laugh. "Izuku you have a 200 year old man with not only the same quirk with you and who knows god what other quirks he's stolen but this man is also the infamous lord of darkness and he's hunting for you now. Please listen to Nedzu, this is serious."

Izuku saw the pleading in her eyes. "I know i'll be careful but that doesn't mean you are safe either, remember that same villain is hunting for One for All. We both have massive targets on our backs but thankfully they don't know you have One for All yet. So that's something at least."

They both walked back to the dorms in silence contemplating everything that had happened today. When they got back to the dorms, they found everyone holding a class meeting in the lobby.

Iida was the first and loudest to talk to the couple. "This is the second time both of you our President and Vice-President have been late to our dorm meetings. This is not a good example to be set for your fellow students."

Izuku just looked out to see literally everyone in the class lackadaisical lounging about the room even Bakugo and Todoroki. "Our apologies but Principal Nezu wanted to see us regarding the situation in order to better inform you all." Getting to shut Iida up when he was on a tirade was cathartic.

Iida immediately pressed reverse on the throttle. "I'm sorry it seems I misjudged the situation I must profusely apologize!" He said while bowing.

"It's fine but anyway this is addressed to all of you, we are not to leave campus until further notice and report even the most inconspicuous thing if you believe something to be amiss. The principal said we cannot anticipate the warp quirk user and he would have much rather have a false alarm versus inaction in the case of an actual attack. Secondly Aizawa-Sensei is going to be alright he managed to pull through the worst of it but he will likely have lasting damage in his right eye." Todoroki winced when he heard that.

"Thirdly I would like for us all to share about how our time in the USJ was. It's scary and we all almost died, but we need to all be on the same page. Does anyone want to go first? If not I will." Izuku said as he scanned the room, he saw a few students hands raise, those notably being Kirishima, Tsuyu, Tokoyami, and Momo.

Izuku pointed at Tsuyu to go first.

The frog girl ribbited before speaking. "Kero. Shinsou and I were teleported to the flood zone by that mist guy, we managed to escape after Shinsou brainwashed a group of them and had them start attacking each other. Then I grabbed him with my tongue and fled to the nearby mountains. We just waited there until All Might and the other teachers arrived." Shinsou just nodded at that statement confirming it.

Kirishima was next."I was sent to the Downpour zone with Ojiro and Koda, we were attacked but we used a room to force the villains into fighting us one at a time. It wasn't very manly but neither was trying to murder children." He looked down after that.

Tokoyami detailed his and Momos time in the Ruined city zone, they split up afterwards. Tokoyami went to go help people on the stairs while Momo jumped into the main plaza in order to help Izuku, Aizawa, and Todoroki fight the main three villains.

Izuku decided it was his turn to speak next. "I was dumped into the Conflagration zone with Bakugo. I knew Aizawa was going to need help once I saw that monster with four quirks, so I gave Bakugo Pyrokinesis and ran off trusting him to handle the Conflagration zone." He smiled at Bakugo, who shrugged and told the nerd to fuck off.

Bakugo interjected here. "Yeah the quirked wonder over here dumped one of his shitty quirks on me and I ran amok blowing up and burning every fucker in there. Once I was done in there I rushed out to take out that warp bastard but him and handsy left right as I got there."

Izuku cut back in detailing the fight between the main three and himself, Momo, Todoroki, and their teacher. "Yeah thankfully handsy wasn't using his Nomu till just right after I arrived, Aizawa had just finished up all the common villains. Even with its strength erased and me giving Aizawa-Sensei Super Strength it was somehow stronger than him. The thing had 4 quirks but they were really weird, regular quirks look like strings I can tug on to take but his were ripped and I couldn't take them no matter how hard I pulled. Anyway Shigaraki sicced the thing on Aizawa-Sensei just as soon as I got there. Thankfully he was able to hold the Nomu off for a few seconds because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't do anything to it. Eventually I realized that I couldn't hide all my quirks anymore and so I tried to steal its quirks but like I said I couldn't. Eventually I settled for ripping its brains out, which also somehow didn't work because it somehow grew a new one and stood back up like it was nothing."

A lot of students were in shock that Izuku had literally ripped a villains brains out but then they remembered the pile of bodies Aizawa had left behind. Lethal force is justified sometimes they guessed.

"At that point I thought we were screwed but thankfully the hands villain just started monologuing buying us enough time for Todoroki and Momo to show up. With our backup I stole handsy's quirk and used it to kill the Nomu. Then I went to the hospital with Aizawa-Sensei and the rest you all already know." Izuku glared at Todoroki but didn't out him to the entire class.

Iida decided it was his turn. "The 8 of us who did not get teleported remained on the stairs, Thirteen was downed by her own quirk when Kurogiri redirected it at her but thankfully Sero and Uraraka were able to distract the villain long enough for me to escape and get help. I ran as fast as I could. I truly hope none of you think me a coward for running!" He bowed deeply after that.

Momo interjected next. "No one thinks your a coward Iida, you likely saved our teachers life, if the medics hadn't arrived quickly enough who knows what would've happened."

It looked like Hagakure was raising her hand but eventually just gave up and started talking. "I was sent to the Landslide zone with Todoroki, I was too scared to help sorry Todoroki plus you kind of defeated them all instantly." A pile of floating clothes then bowed.

"It was nothing." Todoroki was confused, didn't he instantly freeze everything around him? Why didn't he hit Hagakure? She must've landed after he froze everything. He's glad he didn't get another person hurt today.

The rocker girl took the time to talk about how her and 'Pikachu' managed to take out a group of villains at the Mountain Zone, which consisted of Kaminari unleashing his maximum output while Jirou hid behind a rock, effective Izuku mused.

"Alright well that's everyone accounted for, I hope you all have a better picture of everything that went down during the events that took place earlier. I'm sure Sensei will say something about learning from any perceived failures you had today. Everyone's dismissed." Izuku finished plopping down onto the couch. He was physically exhausted and needed to rest, he was surprised when another figure did the same while leaning on him, a familiar jet black raven colored ponytail came into view.

"Hey." She just whispered into his ear.

They stayed like this for awhile oblivious to the pink alien girl with horns squealing from the kitchen. Mina absolutely called it she thought oh boy I can't wait to tease Yaomomo and Midori about this.

Momo was the first to speak although little more than a whisper. "Hey can you sleep with me tonight?"

Izuku started blushing immensely. "Um-um-um Momo isn't it too soon for that?" He blurted out.

Momo realizing how what she said sounded immediately backed up waving her hands while blushing. " No-no-no not like that, I just want to stay in the same bed with you again tonight. I know I'm going to have nightmares later and you being around will really help."

Izuku still blushing just nodded at the girl. Izuku finally realized that they were being watched from the kitchen now that he could move his head.

"Heya lovebirds. I knew you two were a thing right, Mi-do-ri." She hummed out that last bit.

"We're uh just really good friends- yeah." He wasn't even convincing himself here.

"Ahuh surreeeeeeeeeee." She said mockingly before walking off.

"The whole class is going to know by morning." Momo said while sighing in defeat. "We couldn't even hide it for a week, god we must be bad at this." She chuckled. "Alright let's go Izu i'm tired and it seems like all the witnesses are gone." She said taking him by the hand before walking upstairs, they decided to use Momo's room since her bed was larger, though not as large as her original one. Thankfully they didn't see anyone on their walk up to the 2nd floor so they were able to enter quietly.

Momo went and immediately took a shower leaving Izuku trapped in the room by himself, he also didn't have any extra clothes on him. Oh well I'll just have momo make some while I take a shower.

"Hey Momo, I just realized I got nothi-" Izuku then noticed the pair of green pjs that were the exact same color as his hair.

She saw him looking down and just started blushing. "It's just a coincidence."

Izuku just gave her a stare that made it clear he didn't believe her but he didn't want to press it plus it was adorable. He coughed "Anyway I just realized I got nothing to change into, can you make me some clothes while I take a shower, thanks." He smiled at her before walking into the shower. Mid shower he heard the door open before Momo spoke into the room saying she dropped the clothes onto the floor for him.

Exiting the shower quite thankful to have gotten the blood, grime, and dust off of him, he swore he was burning that uniform that was literally caked in his teachers blood later. He saw what momo had gotten for him, and smirked. She made him some All Might boxers, an exact replica of his T-Shirt that said T-Shirt and a pair of a pjs in a familiar jet black color. A coincidence huh?

He walked out of the bathroom to see Momo already in bed, she just patted for him to join her. When he did they just cuddled and fell asleep, thankful for the others presence.

It was another three days before classes resumed it being Tuesday when they did. The entire class was seated in silence wondering who their teacher for Homeroom was going to be. Izuku figured it would be present mic or something. The shock went through the entire class when the mummified version of their teacher limped through the door before sitting at this desk.

Tsuyu was the first to speak. "Sensei shouldn't you be resting? I mean look at you. Kero."

There was a silence before a grunt occurred. "That would be irrational, I will be making no strenuous movements so I can easily handle my job while resting at the same time. We have two major things to cover today, while communications were cut at the USJ the recording footage was not. The first will be reviewing the footage and seeing what you all did in such a time of panic. While normally you would never be exposed to such risk, not learning from it would be folly." He began replaying the footage of the USJ attack, showing several different camera angles as well as detailing different strategies that could have been used in each area the students were dropped at. "Some of you froze which could have gotten you killed while I don't blame you all for hesitating after a real villain attack during your first week. You all will learn to hesitate less in the future or else."

"Midoriya stop throwing yourself into danger to help others, I realize you are strong but your reckless abandon or better worded rather lack of self preservation will get you killed one day. That being said you acted rationally and saved several lives throughout the USJ, so keep it up but add a bit of moderation."

"Bakugo, you quickly handled all the threats in the area before moving on to secure the enemies most valuable piece, while they did escape that was correct threat assessment. Your instincts are good, just lose a bit of the pride."

"Kirishima, Ojiro, Koda. You made a good call turtling up and forcing the enemy to come to you."

"Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu, good use of both of your quirks. You effectively and quickly routed the enemy with near no danger to yourselves. That being said Yaoyorozu I can see the problem child is rubbing off on you, don't let it progress further. You recklessly threw yourself into the ring with the three most dangerous people on the scene, you are only a student as well. Tokoyami good call going to secure the stairs which were everyone's escape route as well as going to check on your fellow classmates as well as distancing yourself from the enemies."

"Shinsou, Asui, good use of each other's quirks to escape in the safest manner possible. As well as your decision to avoid combat, they're a few in this class that need to learn that lesson."

"Jirou, Kaminari, good use of each other's quirk to escape. Kaminari you showed restraint in not firing your strong blast until Jirou was out of the way, that being said try and find a way so you don't hit your allies in the future but that was adequate for now. Jirou good job using your quirk to remain hidden from further villains while protecting Kaminari."

"Everyone who was left on the staircase, good job keeping Thirteen safe as well as opening a path for Iida to escape and alert the teachers. That was the best possible choice you could have made."

"Todoroki good use of your quirk to neutralize the threats in your environment but you did not check for allies and it has come to my attention that even though she couldn't be seen Hagakure was there, practice restraint in the future. Hagakure good job avoiding combat, your quirk is perfect for stealth after all. Oh by the way, Todoroki, you, I, and the principal are having a meeting after school ends today."

Todoroki grimaced he knew this was coming, while the rest of the class just ooe'd and aww'd before Eraserhead activated his quirk silencing the class.

"Second matter for the day, the battle for all of you hasn't really ended yet." Aizawa said with what Izuku thought was a smirk.

Multiple people behind him were shouting something about the villains being back before Aizawa shut them up again.

Aizawa continued. "The U.A. Sports festival is coming up. You would be wise not to waste this chance, you only get three after all. This is a chance to show yourselves off to the world, earn internships and connections that will affect your popularity as a hero. You have two weeks to prepare it is advised you do not waste them." He paused seeing Jirous hand raise in the back.

"Sensei is it wise to continue with the sports festival? That sounds like the perfect thing for the villains to attack." Some of the class nodding as she said that.

"I was of the same opinion however the school believes that it is best that we continue on with the Sports Festival to show the world that one villain attack is not enough to scare the school. Rest assured Jirou as well as the rest of you we will have over five times the normal amount of security." Aizawa said reassuringly. "As I was saying this is basically the event that replaced the Olympics, these will be watched not just in Japan but worldwide. The top heroes in this country will be watching, make sure you impress them." He finished before crawling back into his sleeping bag for the rest of homeroom.

Izuku realized his teacher still had regeneration but wasn't using it. On his way out he went to talk to him about it. "Hey Sensei, I left you Regenerate for a reason."

The sleeping bag jiggled before opening. "Here take it, I don't have enough lipids to use it."

Izuku realized that the man could just eat more food to make it work but assumed his teacher had a reason, so he took his quirk back before realizing he's at 11 quirks now. The low hum of pain on his brain was blaring, training for the future Izuku supposed. Maybe he could finally break past his limit.

Todoroki was being led to the principal's office in silence, he was going to be expelled he knew it. Why couldn't he do what Izuku was doing. Why was he so weak, no he wasn't weak Izuku was. He's the one who can't win with his own power. But was that really right? It was his wasn't it? Todoroki was so confused that he didn't even realize that he had already been sat down and was being talked too.

Principal Nezu continued. "Todoroki- Todoroki we are speaking to you."

He broke out of his thoughts."I'm sorry I was thinking."

The mouse continued."That is fine, I'm sure you have a lot to think about regarding everything that transpired this last friday. I'm sure you realize why you are here."

"I do but why am I the only one. Hagakure said it herself she did nothing during that whole attack, at least I tried to help."

"While you do raise a fine point there is a difference Hagakure is going to be an underground hero focusing on stealth and recon, on top of that it is only the first week. Her fear is to be expected and can be worked on. You on the other hand, were able to fight off that fear and fight, which is commendable however it also revealed the depths to which you refuse to use your quirk. If you were a pro and out on patrol you would have let a civilian die rather than use your quirk. That is rather alarming. I'm sure you can see the situation your teacher is in because you refused to use it." The rat gestured to the mummified teacher.

"We want to help you, but you have to tell us why you are refusing to use your quirk."

Todoroki hesitated, he couldn't deny it. His hatred of his father is holding him back, maybe they would help him. (Little did he know the only reason he was still in the hero course was because Izuku had already told the Principal what Todoroki had told Izuku.)

"...It's hard to say, lets just say that the quirk I have isn't from the best person." Todoroki was sulking at this point.

"So it's true then, we have been monitoring the Todoroki household for awhile is it true that Enji Todoroki beats and abuses his family?" The mouse trying to coax the truth out of the boy himself.

Todoroki was shook, they knew? Did Midoriya tell them? "How? I thought his legal team had covered everything."

The mouse just smiled. "I didn't know for sure until you just confirmed it. I do not possess an IQ of over 200 for show, what other reason could make you so tepid in the use of your quirk unless you had negative memories and experiences of said quirk."

Damn it Todoroki had just been played. "Well I can't hide it anymore." He then went on to explain what his trashcan of a father had done to him and his family.

Aizawa while appearing calm and collected was absolutely furious, his anger and disappointment toward his student had long since disappeared. Aizawa was still angry at a Todoroki but the name Shouto had been replaced by Enji. Aizawa spoke first. "Todoroki you will not be punished for your actions at the USJ but you will be expected to use your fire eventually. Just go back to the dorms and rest, we will handle this."

Todoroki got up and left quietly.

Nedzu spoke once Todoroki had left the room. "It seems Izuku was correct, Todoroki's actions were a result of abuse and not one he would have made normally. I will have a few heroes I know and trust begin to watch the Todoroki house as well as begin drawing up legal contracts in order to deal with Enji. It's been awhile since i've had to thoroughly crush someone, oh what fun this is going to be."

Aizawa was deeply unsettled by the smile and was just glad it wasn't being aimed at him. "Well I'll leave it to you then Nedzu." The second Aizawa closed the door he swore he heard cackling from behind the door, he just did his best to ignore it.

Chapter 14: Training Time

Summary:

Izuku and the gang start prepping for the sports festival, along with some other bombshells being dropped.

Chapter Text

It was tuesday night, classes just having finished. Aizawa had announced the Sports Festival was in two weeks this morning and Izuku knew there was no time to waste. Before the class could disperse and head back to the dorms he made sure to let everyone know a dorm meeting would be taking place upon their arrival. This also made Izuku aware of another problem, there wasn't a way for the class to get into contact with each other quickly and that would need to be fixed.

Upon arriving at the dorms Izuku had everyone just find a spot in the room to get comfortable before he began. "Alright everyone you're probably wondering why I called this dorm meeting. There are a few reasons, first as the Sports Festival is in two weeks we have been given access to Gym Gamma, you need to submit a request 2 days prior and you may only reserve it for an hour at a time. Second, recent events have made it clear we need a group chat. Everyone write down your names and numbers on this sheet and pass it around." He pulled one out of his backpack and handed it to Momo. "Third and probably most important. I have been cleared to grant anyone who can take an extra quirk a second quirk to call their own. The first one up for grabs is Decay, I make my trips to Tartarus weekly and I will update what is available on the dorm whiteboard. Any questions?"

Nearly every hand in the room shot up at that but he saw Iida's first, so he pointed at the boy.

With hand chopping action. "Midoriya isn't that quirk extremely dangerous, do you not remember what happened to our classroom door. It still hasn't been fixed."

"My apologies Iida I forgot to mention that any request for a quirk must go through Aizawa-Sensei. I might be the one who can give them to you but i'm far from being the beacon of caution." He said rubbing the back of his head.

All but two hands went down those being Shinsou and Sero. Izuku pointed at Shinso to go first. "I want decay Midoriya, my quirk is fairly non physical so having one that is would be helpful."

Sero immediately cut in. "I want the quirk I have no ways to fight up close but with decay I will be able too."

Izuku could sense the impending battle. "Alright go take it up with Aizawa if he agrees then we'll find a way to determine who gets it. It'll honestly just probably end up being rock paper scissors though to be fair."

With that both boys ran off to find their teacher.

"Any other questions?" Izuku paused no response. "Alright adjourned, I left a stack of the forms to apply for Gym Gamma on the table over there."

Momo handed Izuku the sheet with all of the students numbers on it. "Thanks VP." He said while smiling at her, causing a blush before he went to sit down and make this group chat.

Group Chat created.

Group Chat name changed to Class 1-A's Gang of Misfits.

Izuku Midoriya: Alright everyone here's the group chat, if you need anything feel free to post in here but try to keep from spamming it too much.

Momo Yaoyorozu granted Admin Privileges

Momo Yaoyorozu has changed Izuku Midoriya's name to Cinnamon Bun

Cinnamon Bun: You have not even been an admin for five seconds and this is the first thing you do Momo? Fine two can play at that game

Momo Yaoyorozu: Noooo you know I had too

Cinnamon Bun has changed Momo Yaoyorozu's name to Amazonian Warrior Goddess

Alien Queen: Well he's not wrong

Amazonian Warrior Goddess: Izuuuu

Lord Explosion Murder: I SWEAR TO GOD STOP FLIRTING IN THE GROUP CHAT, IT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING.

Get Hard ;): I think it's kind of manly they're willing to show themselves off like that.

Alien Queen: Ohhhh speaking of flirting guess who I caught coming out of Yaomomo's room this morning

Cinnamon Bun: You saw no one because nobody did

Amazonian Warrior Goddess: Mina you saw nothing.

Shouto Todoroki: What's wrong with coming out of someone else's room in the morning? I saw Kaminari leaving Jirou's room this morning as well.

Alien Queen: Oh you sweet summer child

Pikachu: What no way I checked

Rocker Girl: I knew you should have left sooner

Cellophane: Dude how it's been like 1 week

Amazonian Warrior Goddess: Alright well this has certainly been eye opening, however I believe it's time everyone went to sleep before anything else gets revealed

Alien Queen:Hey Toru you follow Denkirou I got Izumomo

Chameleon: Deal

Izuku read that last message face palming, when he looked up he saw Momo giggling and Ashido just giving him the I'm watching you gesture. Deciding to give Ashido the slip he texted Momo.

Cinnamon Bun: Go to your room and open the door to the balcony. I'll meet you there ;)

Amazonian Warrior Goddess: Your jumping up the side of the building aren't you?

Cinnamon Bun: It's just the second floor it'll be fine I mean unless you want that following us

Momo looked up to see Mina was behind her trying to sneak a peek at her phone.

Amazonian Warrior Goddess: Fair point, see you in five?

Cinnamon Bun: You know it. It's not like I can sleep without you there to cuddle me anymore

Izuku stood up stretching. " Alright everyone i'm going to go for a run I'll see you all later." He walked out the door and waited expecting Ashido to follow him but was surprised when she didn't. Ah well that's just easier for me then. He walked over to where Momo's balcony was, getting directly below it before charging up Jetstream and Silencer before jumping up onto the balcony. When it slid open he saw a Momo staring at him with wide eyes.

"Miss me?" He gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"Izu it's literally been 5 minutes, of course I missed you." She said as she casually picked him and threw him onto the bed.

"And you didn't like that name I gave you." He said smirking at her.

Blushing heavily. "I never said I didn't like it, I just don't want everyone else using it. Now shut up and lay down. I'm tired." She said as she nuzzled up to him."You remembered to reserve the gym for us right?"

"Of course Momo." He whispered into her ear.

"G-good." They drifted off quietly after that.

The next day Izuku woke with a familiar weight next to him and the slightly less familiar spam of his phone. He saw it was the group chat apparently having missed something like 15 messages.

Misdirection: So Sero and I went to talk to Aizawa about the quirk. He kinda just gave us a are you serious look before slamming the door in our face.

Cellophane: Yeah I think it's safe to say Decay is off the table, your going to get rid of it this Saturday right Midoriya?

Rocker Girl: Alright who told on us, me and Kaminari have detention until the end of the week for breaking curfew.

Pikachu: I swear it's like he knows everything, it's so creepy

Shouto Todoroki: That may have been me sorry, I didn't realize you could get in trouble for that and Aizawa asked me if I saw anything

Alien Queen: Okay maybe you could be a little less pure

Alien Queen: Seeing as these messages aren't being seen by Momo and Midori it's safe to say they are asleep, did you tattle on them as well?

Shouto Todoroki: Well I didn't see it personally so it didn't seem my place.

Pikachu: Todoroki man you can't just break bro code like that

Shouto Todoroki: Bro code?

Cellophane: Have you been living under a rock for the last like what 10 years?

Shouto Todoroki: No I lived in a house like everyone else.

Alien Queen: You hear that Todoroki, thats the sound of literally everyone in this chat face palming at the same time.

Lord Explosion Murder: Icyhot what the fuck, do you take everything literally?

Shouto Todoroki: Yes?

Cinnamon Bun has changed Shouto Todoroki's name to Sweet Summer Child

Cinnamon Bun: It's okay guys he will get there eventually and as for decay yes Sero I will be getting rid of it this saturday, also no we didn't get in any trouble Ashido because we sleep in different rooms.

Alien Queen: And pigs can fly Midori. Don't worry I'll get proof.

Chameleon: My spying went pretty well I got this photo of Jirou sneaking into Kaminari's room.

Chameleon: *Insert Jpg.067*

Rocker Girl: Toru if you want to have eardrums you will take that photo down.

Chameleon: :P

Chameleon has logged off

Rocker Girl: I'm going to kill her

Rocker Girl has logged off

Izuku felt Momo shifting so he also got off the chat after clearing what he could up. "Hey we got like another hour to be ready and I have a feeling Ashido is waiting outside your door so I'm heading up to my floor the spy way." He gave her a kiss on the lips before walking outside and using a combination of super strength, Jetstream and Silence to quickly and more importantly quietly reach his room. Thankful for the three fingered gloves and the fact that he didn't need to lock the balcony of a 5th floor dorm room. He quietly walked in to get ready for class.

Hero Training that Afternoon

All Might paused before speaking. "Greetings you Zygotes, I bet you all are wondering what Hero Training today will be like? Well as i'm sure you all noticed that the final competition of the Sports Festival is some kind of 1v1 sparring, last year they used foam swords and quirks for example. Today will be exactly that, you will spend the whole class doing bracket style mono e mono fights, treat each of your foes like a real villain. The starting brackets will be randomized and demonstrate your ability to win a fight all your own. Lethal force is obviously not allowed. " It felt like the entire class saw All Might pause while staring down Bakugo specifically before continuing. "There are three ways to win, knock your opponent into unconsciousness, get them out of the arena, or make them concede. Your matchups will be randomly determined and these spars will be recorded for your Homeroom teacher later. Any questions?" All Might flashed his Hero smile. "Excellent here are your brackets."

Round 1:

Toru Hagakure vs. Yuga Aoyama

Izuku was standing next to Momo as he began muttering about the outcome of the match. "Hagakure is invisible but Aoyama can wide sweep the arena, meaning she has to duck but if she can get close does she even have any weapons."

As impressive as the sight was, "Izuku just watch, this one is a toss up."

It was in fact not a toss up Momo realized as it seems Hagakure's quirk isn't invisibility but rather light refraction. Wouldn't it be possible to make her visible then or is that just a side effect of her quirk.

Either way everyone was shook as Hagakure just took Aoyama's laser and threw it back into him, defeating him instantly.

Kaminari was the first to speak. "So I didn't know she could do that, did anyone else?"

The entire class shook their heads.

Bakugo Katsuki vs. Shinsou Hitoshi

Poor Shinsou Izuku thought. "What are the chances he can make Bakugo respond to him?" Izuku asked the class.

Tsu being level headed as ever. "Basically 0, Kero. This should be a quick match."

At least Bakugo didn't drag the fight out, he jumped Shinsou as soon as the countdown ended punting the purple haired aizawa from the arena with a large blast.

Rikido Sato vs. Ejiro Kirishima

Power vs defense, Izuku wondered which would crack first as both of the people in question just kept laying into each other.

He head Momo next to him talking about which would run out first, Sato's sugar or Kirishima's hardening.

It ended very anticlimactically in a draw of all things. Sato threw a finishing blow but the massive overdose of sugar had run him into essentially a coma. With neither able to move All Might called it a tie.

Momo Yaoyorozu vs Tenya Iida

Izuku just flashed her a smile letting her know that she had this.

Both people stepped up to the plate Iida bowing and Momo returning it.

"It is an honor to test my valor against our esteemed Vice President, but know I have zero intentions of holding back Yaoyorozu." Iida said finishing his bow

Momo turned serious. "I wouldn't have it any other way Iida and if it makes you feel any better I voted you for the position of Vice President."

As she heard All Might Counting down the first thing Momo did was focus 7% into her legs, she knew she would need that. Second she began to make a taser, she knew Iida had to get into melee range and with his metal suit, this was going to hurt, badly.

Iida knew that the longer this fight went the worse it would be for him so he decided it was finally time to unleash his trump card. Screaming internally RECIPRO BURST! He felt his engines overclock before launching himself as fast as he possibly could at Momo before grabbing her and throwing her as hard as he could. He only had one shot at this and he needed to knock her out.

Momo had never before seen such speed from Iida and she was falling away from the arena she knew she didn't have time to fix this, the ground ever approaching closer. She just shut down and accepted her fate. That was until she saw Izuku frantically cheering her on. Right how could she give up like that, she has the power of the worlds greatest hero, well two of them if you count want Izuku says. She charged up 11% in her fist while simultaneously channeling creation, she had been getting better at this but it still required an intense amount of focus. She slammed her fist into the air below her while at the same time creating a trampoline below her. She found out that things made by creation had no gravity after being created, these two facts combined allowed her to slam her fist into trampoline, slamming it into the ground and herself sailing back into the arena. Her landing was far from graceful but she wasn't out.

The people outside the arena began erupting into cheers.

Iida had failed, he put all his eggs into that basket so to speak." Well played Yaoyorozu, my engines are stalled for essentially the next 50 seconds. I have no hope of victory." before Iida calmly walked out of the arena.

"Young Yaoyorozu Wins by knockout."

She was proud of that performance and she knew Izu would be too, she brushed herself off feeling the various bruises from the impact but no worse for wear over all.

"See I told you, you got this. You just gotta believe in yourself more." Izuku smiled that damn dorky smile at her, of course he was right. Whenever was he wrong.

Izuku Midoriya vs Uraraka Ochako

Ochako saw her name and immediately began panicking, of course she drew the short straw. The person she was about to fight has literally never even been close to matched, he's slaughtered both the next two strongest classmates and has literally never broken a sweat. Ah well let's just not give them a pitiful showing.

Izuku walked up to the podium before giving a friendly wave to Uraraka. "I can see your worrying but don't it's just sparring. We're here to learn."

Of course he thinks that, he knows I have no chance of winning. "Deku, I know you know I can't win but i'm going to try my hardest."

Izuku just tilted his head. "That's all anyone can ever give but I wouldn't sell yourself that short."

They both paused as they heard the countdown begin.

Izuku was mentally sweating, he couldn't just Jetstream her out now, but if he showed pity that'd be even worse. Lost in his confusion the match had already started and Uraraka had already charged him even managing to land a fingertip on him. In sheer panic he felt himself floating away, and he could see the confusion in her eyes followed by what looked like sadness. Fuck Izuku no pity we crush with all our strength.

Momo was genuinely confused, she's never seen her boyfriend even come close to hesitating but he was clearly mulling something over in his head and now he had been caught off guard but I mean does that even matter. In this matchup Uraraka is so unfairly screwed, she used her quirk to remove gravity from someone who can fly. Momo was pretty sure that's just helping the enemy at that point.

Feeling his weightlessness Izuku began to use Jetstream to steady himself. Huh I can just fly now, before I basically could but this is just flight. Although I should be careful as she can remove my weightlessness at any moment and if I use too much of Jetstream I just get shoved in one direction. Seriously this quirk breaks physics, okay new plan we wait. Just because she's removed our gravity doesn't mean anything, she will get tired from quirk overuse and then we win Izuku. "Uraraka this was a good plan against anyone else, but I know you have a time limit that's functionally shortened by a weight limit. I may not weigh much but eventually your quirk will run out and when it does I win. I don't suppose you took my paperweight idea into consideration, your quirk actually helps enemies that can propel themselves such as myself."

The girl below him just sneered at him, she did not like being looked down upon and while no she hadn't listened to that idea he kind of had a point. "Ha it doesn't matter Villain with your weight I can hold you there for hours!"

Okay Izuku was not waiting for that, Fire Breathing, Combustion, your up. Izuku inhaled deeply before spewing out as many flames as he could with one breath. He then used Combustion to surround Uraraka with a circle of flames. "Hero surrender or be slowly cooked alive, I have no patience to wait here for hours."

Just because Uraraka knew it would end this way didn't mean it wouldn't hurt any less, she really didn't want to give up but she was sweating bullets. Dehydration was probably already getting to her and it'd only been a few minutes. Just as she went to surrender to this boiling heat, she suddenly felt blackness and hit the floor.

Izuku surprised by the fact he suddenly has mass reacted as quickly as he could before slamming into the ground. When he did he saw Uraraka's unconsciousness body and the guilt hit immediately. I'd better at least patch her up, he walked over and began to cool her body with molecular manipulation, but not to quickly. Rapidly heating and cooling something was dangerous.

"Izuku Midoriya Wins by Knockout!"

"Now you fledglings, there is time for one final match and since everyone has gotten to fight at least once, why not make this an exhibition match? Vote for the two you want to see fight and that will be our final sparring session." All Might postured to the class who all began to murmur as to who they wanted to see fight.

The votes ended up being a landslide for a matchup everyone had wanted to see previously, it technically had already happened but no one got to see that fight.

Izuku Midoriya vs. Shouto Todoroki

Izuku did his best to look as haughty and villainesque as he could. He was going to make Todoroki use his flames here and now. Izuku making silent apologies for what he was about to do. When the boy Izuku was to fight appeared at the opposite end of the arena he could see the turmoil the boy was in. Good, he was taking Izuku's words to heart, now for the final push. "We both know how this ends if you don't use your fire Todoroki. But i'm a man of honor I'll only use one quirk in this fight, how does that sound?" Of course Izuku was lying, he was about kick the shit out of todoroki with every quirk at his disposal, if Todoroki thought that he had a chance without his fire he was very mistaken.

The heterochromatic teen grimaced when he heard that, HE was being looked down upon of all people. He started gritting his teeth together in frustration, he knew what he needed to do but could he just do it? The last ten years he's known that never using his fire was the correct option, but he wasn't so sure anymore. Todoroki barely noticed the countdown ending but recovered in time to throw an ice blast, his large opener, he failed to account for the fact that his opponent had removed a glove.

The massive ice wave was just about to reach him when Izuku reached out with his right hand and pressed all 5 fingers to the ice decaying the wave as it came. "Oh by the way Todoroki, I'm a villain remember? I lied." Izuku breathed deep roaring and condensing the flames with Pyrokinesis creating a bubble of fire to surround him. His fine control of pyrokinesis had improved greatly over the years, using his fire shield he walked forward shrugging off every attempt Todoroki made at freezing him. "You can't even touch me, how long till you reach your limit? 10, 20 shots? You can't even generate your most powerful ice because your body freezes over before you could reach such temperatures. On the other hand I can do this all day. Stop fucking around, this isn't a fight until you give it your all. Guess how many of my quirks i'm using? I have 11 at the moment and oh wouldn't you know i'm using about half of them, weird huh Todoroki?" Izuku continued his slow march to the other boy as he slowly cornered him.

Todoroki knew everything Midoriya was saying was right and the irony that he was using half his power was not lost on him. Not to mention a real villain would never hold back they would use every trick, every tactic, squeeze every chance they had to gain an advantage not to mention he couldn't even hurt Midoriya as he is now. His ice isn't strong enough to pierce that fire wall, and even if it did Midoriya still has decay. I can't beat him, i'll never be able to beat him. The thought sombered him, he was his father's perfect legacy and yet he doubted even at full power he would ever come close to matching up against the person in front of him. He just laid down defeated and frozen, might as well go out with his dignity intact.

"I thought I told you to stop fucking around Todoroki." Izuku used his Pyrokinesis to melt the ice off of Todoroki before throwing him back into the middle of the arena. "IT'S YOUR GODDAMN QUIRK, FIGHT ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT!"

Memories were flooding back, Todoroki remembered his mom. How she believed in him, she just wanted him to be the hero he wanted to be. His father didn't matter, he never mattered. Shouto was himself, that bastard can be whatever he wants. He felt the left side of his body ignite, it was warm, caring. Nothing like like the flames of his father. It took him a second before he could look up. He saw Midoriya smiling at him. "You're crazy, you know that Midoriya? What kind of idiot smiles after making his opponent stronger."

"Todoroki that was the requirement to even be in the same ring as me. You just unlocked another 6 quirks to fight, if you think you've won simply because you brought out your fire. Well let me tell you, you got another thing coming." Izuku squenched his fist together as he said that. Alright no more holding back, all quirks online, activating combat mode.

Todoroki meanwhile was rapidly heating the cooled air, preparing for the one thing that might stop Midoriya, he knew his fire was near useless in this fight, but it did give him unlimited Ice to work with but even that wouldn't be enough, no he needed to create an explosion large enough to force Midoriya from the ring. Time for PLUS ULTRA, he fused the two halves of his quirk generating as much heat and ice as his body could physically handle before the backlash would hurt him faster than the opposing elements could correct each other.

Izuku was watching his opponent curiously when the mother of all icebergs was launched at him. Alright I goaded him into it, now to win this fight for real. Izuku had finally started unlocking the real secrets of Tempo, the double time never mattered but the old user had much better control of the quirk than he did and now all those self induced migraines were about to pay off. SNAPSHOT .1X SPEED, the world halted around Izuku as he processed every bit of information. The contours on the ice, the way it rippled, the speed of its approach, the way it grew from Todoroki like a snake, writhing towards him. The ice was being continually produced meaning it was one solid object, Decay could likely halt it indefinitely at least until Todoroki stopped that glacier and made a new one, that would be the gap Izuku needs to win. Izuku pulled his fire shield into himself, wearing it like Endeavour does. His black hoodie now glowed red flames licking at the tips of his costume. Izuku had 5 seconds before the backlash of Snapshot hit him, although to Izuku it was more like 50 seconds. He pushed as much as he could into Jetstream flying in slow motion towards the tip of the iceberg, grazing it with his ungloved hand before watching the decay spread. Now to take advantage of the fact that Todoroki has to touch the ground to use his quirk. The arena was small enough for Izuku to abuse this, he fired an air cannon at Todoroki in an attempt to knock him out but the boy created an ice wall behind him to stop him from leaving the arena. Taking use of his opponent's distracted state and the fact that he had to stop using his quirk as it was being decayed, Izuku shot himself like a bullet towards Todoroki. Izuku had been trapped in Snapshot for so long at this point he had no idea how many real life seconds had passed, but he didn't need much more to win this. Once Izuku landed in the spot in front of Todoroki he saw the boy slowly beginning to slam his foot onto the ground but Izuku wasn't letting that happen. He fired Jetstream from a lower angle forcing the teen into the air before Izuku jumped after him. The timing couldn't have been worse however as when he went for the finishing move Tempo ran out and his head was fried. Izuku just fell from the sky with Todoroki.

"DRAW, IZUKU MIDORIYA AND SHOUTO TODOROKI HAVE BOTH LEFT THE BOUNDS OF THE ARENA! Class I must say you chose excellently for the exhibition match, that was a masterful showing from two of your fellow classmates. However I must be off expect to review with Aizawa later." With that the Number 1 Hero and symbol of peace and justice ran off.

Both of the boys got up slowly, they had fallen like 20 feet after all, it was not a pleasant experience to say the least.

Todoroki was the first to speak. "Midoriya, you made me use my fire. I don't know how to feel about that... but it wasn't a bad feeling. I need to search my feelings a bit more first but, thank you."

Izuku just rubbed his hair while letting out a small laugh. "Sorry if I said anything to offend you, but I was getting tired of watching you half ass everything. If you ever need any help just let me know Todoroki, I know you aren't here to make friends but i'd be willing to help regardless."

Todoroki to all his credit just focused his gaze on Midoriya, not entirely sure how to deal with the boy in front of him. He paused before speaking, "I'll consider it Midoriya." and with that he turned and walked off.

Gym Gamma after school

"You okay Momo? I know you hit the ground pretty hard during reentry." Izuku showing genuine concern.

Momo simply readjusted herself regaining her prim and proper stature. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you me weak, Hmph. Plus it's not like you did any better, I can still hear recovery girl's yelling and that was hours ago."

Izuku realizing she was teasing just stared at her.

Momo giving up the act. " Ugh Fine, yeah I'm okay but that's not why we're here today. Since you know what has essentially given me infinite fat storage for my quirk I'd taken up your advice on building larger constructs and I found one I think you'd like. Have you heard of the riot displacing sound cannon? Your advice to look at the tools people had before quirks has given me quite a lot of inspiration. Honestly it's kind of weird just how much quirks have slowed and changed technological growth, it's like everyone forgot that the old stuff really worked."

Izuku while glad she was still taking his advice honestly didn't care, he wanted to know how this so called sound cannon worked. He just gave her the quirk look until she relented.

"Fine, basically it uses megaphone technology to focus sound into a generalized area, it was an amazing riot control tool because you could disable large groups at a time with just the power of sound. It had an effective range of around 50ft and anything within that range is almost certainly down on the floor in pain. I've been trying to create actual vehicles with my quirk but there are so many different and moving parts that it's quite difficult."

Izuku realized there had to be a reason she brought him here and he didn't like it. "Am I the test dummy?"

"Oh you catch on so quick dear, but do take this I can't let you hurt yourself." She created a pair of noise cancelling headphones before tossing them at him.

With the headphones on and a quick thumbs up given Momo unleashed what could only be described as sound hell upon him. Even with the headphones on the air was shaking and he was screaming in pain. Thankfully Momo stopped as soon as she saw the pain Izuku was in. "ALRIGHT MOMO IT WORKED REALLY WELL, WHY IS EVERYTHING RINGING?"

Momo winced at hearing her boyfriend just screaming at her, okay maybe improving the materials used to make the machine had increased its output by too much. She mouthed to Izu loud after pointing at her own ears.

Thankfully it seems he understood and removed the headphones before talking at a much quieter volume. "Alright so that worked Momo." Izuku felt like he was whispering to himself it was so quiet.

"Let's call the test here for today Izu I'm not going to hurt you more." She just grabbed him by the wrist and they walked off.

Chapter 15: Musings about quirks

Summary:

Izuku visits the prison and various other things.

Chapter Text

Izuku sat at his desk penciling in a few ideas for his hero notebooks, he had finally come up with a better suit design for Momo but among other things he was quandering the nature of quirks themselves. It's doesn't help that the only person who could help him is quite literally the most evil being on this planet. A knock at the door interrupts his musings.

Izuku didn't even turn to the door while he shouted. "It's open come in."

Momo sauntered into the room seeing her boyfriend clearly deep in thought. "Whatcha up too?"

Izuku quickly closed the notebook that had her costume redesign in it, it was too early for her to see that. "Oh well I'm just trying to figure out what exactly quirks are. They can change so much depending on what the actual quirk did but they have to have a physical presence in the body or I wouldn't be able to take them. There has to be some constant that is present in every single person with a quirk. What causes a person to overload on quirks? I'm really trying to figure it out but i'm getting nowhere fast. You got any ideas Momo? You know more about chemistry and the like after all."

Momo paused thinking before she answered. "Hmm you describe having too many quirks as overheating the brain yes? It could do with neurons or something similar. You are right there must be a physical thing you are giving and taking from people. The strain may cause it to overheat, like overclocking a computer."

A computer? Memory, THAT'S IT. "Holy shit Momo your a genius, I figured it out. It's like the the RAM of a computer, each person's brain can handle only so much memory. I have a test I need to do, if my memory can be expanded can't others memory be expanded as well? Do quirks take up different amounts of a person's memory? For example Todoroki's quirk essentially is two separate quirks, does it require more memory than the average quirk? How does this work with One for All? Is it compressing itself to function as only one quirk? I'm gathering some people I need test subjects."

Chat Opened

Cinnamon Bun: Hey i'm running a test on my quirk mind helping out? I'll let you borrow you know what for awhile.

Lord Explosion Murder: Fine Deku.

Cinnamon Bun: Sweet come by my room.

Chat Opened

Cinnamon Bun: Hey wanna help me with something real quick?

Gravity is more of a suggestion: Sure with what Deku?

Cinnamon Bun: Drop by my room real quick, i'm running some tests on quirks.

Bakugo was the first to arrive, seeing the nerd at the table writing in his stupid quirk notebooks. "Alright Deku i'm here what did you want."

Izuku looked up from his book ceasing his scribbling. "Simple keep Pyrokinesis for awhile, I want to see if other people can be trained to handle more than one quirk like myself." Izuku held up his hand for a hand shake. Bakugo begrudgingly took it, "Who knows nerd maybe I won't give this back." Uraraka arriving just in time to see the two mid handshake.

"Hey Deku, so what's up." How the girl could be so bubbly Izuku would never know.

"Oh it's simple I'm testing some of the limits to my quirk. The two main ones being do different quirks take up more of a person's quirk total and can I train other people to handle more quirks."

"Thanks nerd i'm out of here." Bakugo stomping off as he went, Baby steps Izuku baby steps.

He held down his internal wincing before turning back to the girl literally made of rainbows and sunshine. "You're going to help me with the prior. I couldn't give you an extra quirk last time so I wanted to see if I took your quirk and then tried giving you a combination of every 2 quirks that I possess I might be able to tell if quirks do differentiate on that front. I honestly can't believe I'd never tested this before."

"That sounds fun i'm in!" She bounced up and down like a giddy child before sitting in the chair next to Izuku and thrusting her hand out.

Momo had been observing all of this from the corner of the room, she wished she could help Izu with this but One for All makes it to risky.

"Alright i'll start by taking float and then we'll move down the list." Izuku was thankful for the drop from 11 quirks down to 10 but he's already back up to 11 after taking float. He was hoping for more of a break from the head pains if he was being honest.

Izuku mechanically went down the list as each and every combination of two quirks that he could try continued to fail, having exhausted like half of the options he was beginning to lose hope. Then came the light at the end of the tunnel, Uraraka currently had minor Fire resistance but when he went to test out giving her molecular manipulation he didn't hear the usual alarm his quirk gives him. Wait a minute, did it work? He gave the girl Molecular Manipulation, ready to pull back at the first sign something was wrong but the girl just looked at him completely fine. "Holy shit Momo, you were right. It's memory. Uraraka i'm about to do something don't freak out okay?" Izuku pulled her arm towards him then left it in the air before breathing fire onto her arm. "Look no damage, now the other quirk I gave you is potentially dangerous, take this pencil. The quirk is touch based you must put all five fingers onto the thing you wish to use the quirk on, just like your old one. This quirk allows you control the speed at which molecules vibrate. Imagine your making a bunch of smaller objects rapidly vibrate, now combine that with the pencil."

Uraraka did as she was told closing her eyes and focusing on that image. She didn't feel any change but she heard a gasp from Midoriya so she opened her eyes and low and behold the pencil had combusted she just couldn't feel it due to fire resistance. "Wow so this is what it's like having two quirks. It's kinda like having two ropes to tug on instead of one."

"Well I think we can call this experiments a success. Now Uraraka, do you want to try and up your total quirk potential like Bakugo is? You won't be able to use float for a bit but I feel like I managed to put you even closer to your maximum quirk limit with this. You won't be able to use float for awhile though and the sports festival is in a week so I know it's a bit risky but there's a chance you get stronger at the end of this."

Uraraka pondered it briefly before she realized that if she were going to catch up to people like Momo, Todoroki, and Izuku then there was only one option. "I'm going to try and increase my quirk limit, I can't keep falling behind everyone. It's time for Plus Ultra Ochako." The float err not currently float user just beamed at Deku while saying that.

"Thanks for helping me test this Uraraka." Izuku smiled back at her.

"No Problem Deku, i'm gonna go show people off my new quirk." The girl basically ran out of the room after that.

Izuku turned to his girlfriend. "Hey Momo I finally managed to convince the principal to let me out of the school if i'm being guarded by a teacher. I'm going to the prison wanna tag along?"

She had never seen how he took quirks before and the idea did sound pretty interesting to her. "Sure why not. Not many people get to say they've been inside Tartarus after all."

"Cool Toshinori-san is coming to get us at 1, make sure your ready by then." Izuku smiled at her.

A few hours later inside a familiar beaten up station wagon.

"So All Might, did Tsukauchi say what quirks i'll be taking today? I'm actually pretty low currently I only have 9 at the moment and when is the Execution taking place. We need to dump decay off after all." Izuku saw his girlfriend reech when she heard him talking about an execution so carefreely. It used to bother Izuku as well but it became a common enough occurence that he was able to get over it.

"This is the first I'm hearing of an execution Izu." Momo was generally unsettled by that.

"You don't need to watch but it's how I get rid of quirks that are just to dangerous or unwieldy. I know it's a bit morbid but it really is the best way, otherwise I'd have to give Decay to another person and after seeing how annoying it is to live with it's probably better off being lost." Izuku explained sadly.

"Oh I figured you just gave it to an animal like a chicken before it was slaughtered for food." Momo tossed that comment in offhandedly.

All Might slammed his feet on the brakes before both he and Izuku stared at the girl before both simultaneously shouted. "HOW DID WE NEVER THINK OF THAT?"

Izuku spoke next. "The principal is an animal, animals can have quirks. Why did we never try giving them to one." Izuku said while facepalming, it was so obvious in hindsight.

Toshinori saw the look of incredulousness on one of his two successors before nodding along. "Yes, my boy we have been quite foolish there. All for One is such a versatile quirk and we've barely even scratched the surface of it. It just has too many possible uses, almost infinite one would say. We can't expect to plan for every single outcome." All Might was just trying to save face here, he realized how dumb they had been.

Momo was trying to suppress a giggle but failing miserably. "That's twice in one day that i've outsmarted you on the topic of quirks Izu, you might want to be worried i'm coming for that title of yours." She said haughtily, teasing him.

"Ha ha very funny or should I say brrrr metal stick." Izuku said while sticking his tongue out at her

Momo was pouting now. "I was TEN. Stop bringing that up and also I hate you for introducing me to memes."

Izuku smirked at that second part. "No you don't."

Momo just sighed. "No... I don't."

Toshinori was smiling seeing his two successors getting along so well. "Alright you two we're here, time to act professionally."

They were greeted by the familiar sight of Tsukauchi once they got through the checkpoints, the guards were long used to seeing the small boy with All Might but the addition of a young girl was puzzling to them.

Izuku spoke first. "Hey detective, what am I taking today? I can take a maximum of 4 right now, 5 once we get rid of Decay. I was doing some experimenting at the dorms and handed out a few quirks."

The detective was surprised by this, he had never heard of the boy permanently handing out his main cache of quirks out unless he found better ones. The thought that Midoriya could potentially strengthen all heroes by giving them extra quirks was an interesting one. Maybe he could even get a combat quirk for himself. "Well I had planned on you taking the usual 3 quirks but I'm sure I can arrange for some more to be taken. Let's lead with the execution i'll make a call and get some more inmates called over."

Momo politely excused herself from the execution. She didn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole.

Izuku looked down at the man condemned to die 8 counts of premeditated murder. He was an assassin for the yakuza his quirk was called EMP it allowed the man to short circuit all technology in a 20 foot radius but only for as long as the user remained within that range, it would be a fine addition to Izuku's bank of quirks. Izuku took the string into his hand and pulled before replacing the string with a new one, Decay. Thankfully Izuku had the foresight to let the guards know to put his three fingered gloves on the man before the transfer. Izuku whispered a silent prayer for the man, hoping his soul would find peace in the next life before Izuku exited the room. He saw Momo standing stock still against the concrete walls of Tartarus.

She spoke first. "Is he ya know?"

Izuku felt bad for bringing her here now. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you to come along, and no he isn't, not yet. He's going to receive the injection within the next five minutes though."

Momo simply shook her head. "No no, I wanted to come here. I'm going to have to deal with this eventually when I become a hero. It's better to get it out of the way now." Momo was giving a thousand year stare at the walls while she said that.

Izuku walked over to the girl and gave her a hug. He heard her whisper "Does it get easier?"

Izuku whispered back. "Eventually yeah."

The couple broke apart quickly when they heard the door open, revealing their mentor. "Not having a good time with this young Yaoyorozu? I'm not surprised. Death is a hard thing to come to terms with. Let us hurry on with the rest of our job here. The sooner we can put the bad memories behind us the better." All Might stared off when he said that last part, Izuku wasn't sure what to think of that.

They sat in the hallway several more minutes before the detective returned. "Alright four more inmates to go, are you feeling alright Midoriya?"

"Peachy, no quirk backlash yet." Izuku said with a sad smile on his face.

The next criminal was a prolific bank robber, having stolen millions of yen with his quirk quickstep. When the user plants both feet on the ground and after a second delay the user jumps to a location within view, almost teleportation but not quite. You were still moving, just incredibly fast. It seems activating this quirk in succession too often leads to extreme nausea.

The criminal after that possessed probably the quirk Izuku was most intrigued by as it broke physics, Photokinesis. Light Manipulation, similar to hagakure's quirk but also very different. Unlike her quirk this one doesn't make you invisible it does however allow the user to make light solid and bend said light to the owners will. The criminal had apparently been using it to run a small time gang. Overuse apparently leads to blindness, but instead of darkness you are forced to stare at a blinding light.

The second to last criminal had a quirk he was specifically getting for a classmate. Lightning Rod, it allows the user to control where lightning will strike, directly altering the path lightning would normally travel. Kaminari would be ecstatic to learn about this, Izuku just hoped that Kaminari had enough quirk memory. He was really really close to limit when he tested him with Ultra Sight. The villain had apparently used it in conjunction with a taser allowing him to fire lightning bolts. The only drawback to this one was that there needed be lightning in the first place much like pyrokinesis.

The final criminal had what Izuku thought to be the most interesting quirk, it had many interesting properties. It was called life giver, the user could essentially turn inanimate objects into animate ones that followed the whims of the creator. The backlash was both time and size gated, if you tried to turn a rock into a tyrannosaurus rex for example, well don't. The backlash from the quirk is serious, the more life you give the more life you lose. Give enough of it and you die. The previous owner used it to create birds that would go from store to store stealing any valuables they could find, seems innocuous at first but repeat ad nauseum for 5 years and suddenly you've stolen millions of yen worth of items. If the created objects died, they reverted to their previous state and any life given to them was lost. Notably the user regains life at a steady pace or this quirk would kill the user quite quickly. This was likely going to be a quirk Izuku added to his permanent repertoire, he had already been considering changing his main quirks anyway.

Izuku was currently sitting at his safe limit of 13 quirks the backlash however was beginning to get quite severe, but this was his soft limit for a reason. He could manage the headache he was feeling indefinitely, uncomfortable yes, crippling no.

Once they were outside Momo was the first to speak. "So this is how you've been doing it huh Izu? What's it like being responsible for so much? I'm sure you've realized how easily you could terrorize the world but instead you use your gifts to help people. Why is that?"

Izuku just chuckled. "World domination is too much work, i'd rather just sit back and relax. What about you ms. ninth holder of the world's strongest quirk, why aren't you flying all over plunging Japan into its next dark age."

Momo paused for a second before responding. "While it would be fun having a certain green haired freckle encrusted hero chasing me, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the simple things as a villain. Like being with you." Momo bumped into Izuku with her body when she said that.

Toshinori was a little disturbed hearing his wards talk about how easily they could take over hero society but that was countered out by how disgustingly cute they were together. "Alright you two enough flirting, your starting to make this old man feel like a third wheel. Let's get some food and head back to the dorms.

When the pair opened the doors to the dorms they were greeted with the sight of Bakugo using pyrokinesis to suck the flames out of the stove while an angry Sato was trying to cook.

"So what'd we miss?" Momo was very curious at the sight.

"Sugar fuck over here used the last of the eggs, I was trying to make ramen. If I don't get eggs he doesn't get to use the ones he took." Bakugo said while staring down the other hero trainee.

Sato to his credit was leveling the gaze right back at Bakugo. "Perfect timing Midoriya, take that quirk back he's been using it to mess with people all day.

Izuku deadpanned, of course Bakugo had. "Alright that's enough Bakugo let the man cook before I take the quirk back and stop using it irresponsibly. I didn't ask Aizawa's permission before I gave it to you. If he gives me a lecture I WILL take it back."

"Tch. Fine useless Deku I'll stop bothering the extras with the quirk." Bakugo stomped off after that.

With that settled Izuku wanted to lessen the strain in his head. He pulled open his phone before sending a text.

Cinnamon Bun: Come to the common room of the dorm now, class President's orders.

Pikachu: Fine your magnanimousness, get your panties out of a bunch

A couple minutes later a tired looking Kaminari entered the room. "So what did you want Midoriya?"

"Consider this an early birthday present." The boy smirked before grabbing the hand of the electric user. Yup it's safe for him.

"Wha?" The face of the boy was in pure confusion.

"I'm not gonna spoil it, but i'll give you a hint. Quirk." Izuku had already gotten Aizawa to sign off on this mainly because his teacher wanted Kaminari to stop shooting his allies in fights.

"Wait so you gave me a quirk and you won't tell me what it is?" Kaminari was very off put by this weird interaction he was having.

"I'm pretty certain you'll figure it out quickly enough Kaminari. If I just told you what would be the fun in that?" Izuku smiled wolfishly at Kaminari.

"Fine, thanks I guess I'm going to go back to guitar lessons with Jiro." The boy said as he trudged back upstairs.

Momo decided to cut in now. "How long before he figures it out?"

Izuku just shrugged. "Considering the quirk also lets you see the path lightning would normally travel if you didn't alter it i'm going to bet on not very long." That left Izuku with two more quirks to drop off but he decided to head up to his teacher's room to make sure it was okay first. "Hey Momo i'm going to take care of some business then probably go to bed soon, it's been a long day for the both of us." Izuku suddenly lowered his voice. "So whose room are we meeting in tonight?"

Momo blushed at that before looking around and finally telling Izuku to meet her in her room since it's further from Aizawa-Sensei.

Izuku stood before the door to his teacher's room before knocking three times. Izuku could hear some crashing sound from behind the door before it slowly creaked open revealing the eye of his teacher. "Yes problem child?"

"I went to Tartarus today and got some more quirks, I took care of Kaminari's problem but I had a couple quirks I wanted to give out and I came to ask your permission before doing so."

"I swear if your trying to give people that stupid disintegration quirk again problem child." Aizawa was glaring at him from the doorway.

"No not at all Sensei, I got rid of that quirk. The first is called Quick Step. It allows the user to quickly jump from location to location but only to places the user can see." Izuku trying to assuage the man.

"That's ... more acceptable. Who are you giving it too?" Aizawas glare lessened.

"Ah well there's someone in our class who can only fight by throwing themselves at stuff, I figured making them faster would make them a better hero." Izuku said to the main.

Aizawa's eyes widened. "Oh him, yeah sure it should be fine. As for the other?"

"Well for the second quirk it allows the user to control light. I'm sure you realize who I plan on giving that too."

Aizawa just face palmed. "Sure kid."

"Thank you Sensei." Izuku bowed and ran off.

Whelp permission granted time to make the exchange.

Cinnamon Bun: Hey both of you come meet me in the dorm common room.

Unbreakable: Sure but why dude? Something up?

Human Disco Ball: For what reason do you need my dazzling self?

Cinnamon Bun: Nothing major, I just thought one of you'd like to see something manly and the other would like to see something sparkly.

Chapter Management Edit Chapter

Chapter 16: The day before the sports festival

Summary:

Izuku and his class get in some last minute training.

Chapter Text

Izuku woke to the sound of his alarm blaring at 6am, it was currently Sunday and the Sports Festival was tomorrow. Izuku felt Momo jump once the alarm had awoken her.

"Izu why do you have an alarm set for 6am? On the weekend of all things?" She was blearily rubbing her eyes before she just laid back down.

"Sorry Momo I just gotta go for my morning run. Plus there are some things I wanted to try out, you just sleep in alright?" Midoriya gave her a peck on the cheek as he got out of the bed, slipping on some sweat bottoms and a t shirt before trying to walk as silently as he could to do the door and exiting.

Izuku walked the rest of the way downstairs to the common in silence but once he got to the dorm common room he was met with a sight he was not quite expecting. Half the class was already down here and it seemed like they were waiting for him because as soon as he walked into the room they all started screaming his name. "Midori/Izuku/Midoriya/Deku/Green!" He heard being shouted from the communal living room. The first to approach him as per usual was Iida.

"Midoriya, I have heard that you are giving your fellow classmates quirks. I wish to put myself in a position where I may also acquire an additional quirk. I have heard many great things from Kirishima and Aoyama. I do not wish to pressure you but do you have any that I may use." Iida had 4 other people standing behind him nodding along with what he was saying.

This was exactly why Izuku wanted to be an underground hero, This is probably the exact reason why Aizawa-Sensei hates the media. Izuku facepalmed before responding. "Sorry guys all the quirks on me are ones I plan on keeping and I won't be visiting the prison until next weekend. Your just gonna have to wait until after the sports festival."

Sero broke through the small mob to speak first. "But you gave Kaminari, Kirishima, Bakugo, Uraraka, and Aoyama all extra quirks how is that fair to us?"

Izuku should've expected something like this. "I'll talk to Aizawa-Sensei, they will likely be told to not use their extra quirks during the sports festival like myself. As for Uraraka i'll be giving her her original quirk back, so don't worry about that."

Thankfully that seemed to make the impromptu mob recede. Izuku started to make his way for the door before yet another person ambushed him, a familiar red spiky haired face came into view. "Midoriya that was super manly and I can't thank you enough for the quirk you gave me, Kaminari is also on his way. He and Aoyama wanted to help test their new quirks out with me, you'll join us right?"

Izuku was beginning to regret waking up this morning, he could still be in bed with Momo right now but this was his fault might as well own up to it. He turned before giving a small smile. "Yeah sure Kirishima, i'm curious how y'all have been in learning those quirks. Especially you, any idea how you'll explain super speed being part of your quirk?"

The spiky haired teen before him deflated. "Honestly I was planning on going with having a double quirk like Todoroki, it's not like any of the public knows my quirk yet." Izuku watched the hardening user shrug.

Izuku had a thought at that moment, he was going to have to tell the entire class about All for One at some point. The man already targeted their class and now that Izuku is in it and is giving everybody quirks he's going to come back at this point Izuku is that man's worst threat. An army of Heroes with multiple quirks probably threatens him more than All Might, and once it's seen that he's handing out his quirks like candy All for One will not be happy. He's going to have to tell Aizawa first and All Might, no telling the kind of chaos that could happen if Izuku dropped that little tidbit of info. They waited in silence until the aforementioned teens appeared. They walked in a gaggle to Gym Gamma, somehow Kaminari still hadn't figured out the quirk that Izuku gave him meanwhile Aoyama was doing poses and talking about how much he could sparkle now.

Izuku finally relented tired of Kaminari's whining. "Kaminari it let's you control the path lightning would take. It also gives a slight precognitive effect of the path the lightning would take before using it. Have you not once tried using your quirk since I gave it to you?" He was legitimately exasperated the electric teen had not figured out the quirk yet. He'd had the stupid thing for almost a week now.

"Wait it lets me control my lightning? That's been like my biggest problem since I always hit my allies." Kaminari exclaimed.

Izuku just face palmed at that. Why do you think I gave that to you Izuku thought to himself. Jirou's Jamming whey theory was quickly becoming something he believed in. "Yeah I thought it would help you."

Once they reached the gym they would be using for the next hour Izuku decided to sit back and let them show off his quirks before testing out his new ones. He wished Momo was here so she could create electronics for him to fry with EMP. He'd just have to settle for testing out life giver. It's an interesting quirk to say the least, the life he gives out honestly feels like it's parts of his soul and a quirk that lets you split your very being is... interesting at the least. Breaking himself from his inner musings Izuku watched Kirishima teleport across the entire gym, Aoyama create light barriers and Kaminari tracing circles in the air with electricity. Izuku really hoped he knew what he was doing at this point, imagine if they turned into villains.

Izuku shouted to bring them all back to him. "Alright i've told you all about the drawbacks to those quirks, you will have to adjust to them just like I did. While the original users had their whole lives to adjust to those quirks your going to have much less time. It won't be easy i'm not going to lie but quirks are like muscles you can train them. Kirishima your biggest weakness was speed which is why I gave you quickstep, i'm sure the nausea is a lot rougher for you than it was for the original user. Kaminari your quirk doesn't really have a drawback, the drawback for your quirk was needing the element you control in the first place, which in your case is lightning. That being said if you make too much lightning you won't be able to control it all, so be careful about going all out. Lastly for you Aoyama, overuse will cause you to go blind, that being said it should severely strengthen your quirk as you can turn the lasers you make into solid objects, so all of you do your best to get used to the drawbacks of those quirks. Although the principal might not let you use them tomorrow so it's up to you to convince him."

Aoyama took a pose he recognized in an anime. "Wee I will have to just them how I sparkle. My brilliance shall not be dimmed."

Kaminari nodded at that. "Yeah we just gotta show them what we can do."

Izuku liked that answer, thats the exact same thing he told everyone else. "Yeah that's all we can do." Izuku grabbed some rocks before activating life giver, turning them into pigeons. Huh he was going to have to research the worlds animals like how Momo researches elements. That wasn't something he was looking forward to in the slightest. Not to mention this quirk felt weird, it felt like he was splitting up his soul when he was using it, it almost felt like giving up one of his quirks but worse. Overuse of this quirk really was dangerous, even those pigeons made Izuku feel like he's used around 5% of his life energy which doesn't seem like much but giving up 1/20th of your soul is not something to be underestimated.

"Hmm so the best way to use this quirk would be making small extremely powerful animals, poison dart frogs, bullet ants. etc." Izuku thought out loud.

Kirishima was just staring at Midoriya in disbelief. "Holy crap Midoriya, that's such a cool quirk. How does it work?"

Midoriya turned the pigeons back into rocks before responding. "I can turn inanimate objects into living ones that listen to my orders, it's kind of like Koda's quirk if i'm being honest. That being said there is a mass limit but even with that it's incredibly useful. Enough of that though how are you liking quick step?"

Kirishima slammed his strengthened fists together making a resounding clanging sound. "I love it midori bro, I can even jump 3 times before the nausea sets in."

Izuku tried his best to looked impressed even though the previous user could jump nearly 15 times before any kind of backlash. "Want to know a trick the previous user used Kirishima?"

"Sure bro, not sure what else could be done with the quirk since it just makes me move really fast." Kirishima shrugged.

Yeah his quirk really suits her personality Izuku thought while chuckling to himself. "Well you tell me, what if you jump to a spot slightly behind someone? I mean you have to be able to see the spot but all that means if you have to jump slightly to either side of said person. What could you do along the way?"

Kirishima looked like he shut down for a second before shifting back to his usual cheerful personality. "I can sock them along the way, holy crap Midori Bro that's amazing, I can combine my super durability with super speed and knock people out in one go."

Izuku started clapping "Ding ding ding. You got it Kirishima, the previous user was able to knock people unconscious in one go with that, with your hardening it'll do even more damage. Be careful though that bonus power might be able to actual kill someone."

Kirishima paled after hearing that, the memories of USJ were still fresh after all. "Yeah, your right. I'll ... be careful."

Izuku sat back as he watched all of them use their new quirks. He'd only handed them off a week ago but he was still impressed at how fast they were learning to use them. Izuku wanted to increase his limit with Jetstream but without Molecular Manipulation he couldn't cool his body down and he didn't want to push himself too hard the day before the sports festival. He'd have to go find Uraraka after this and get his quirks back. I guess I can try making myself stronger with Float and Life Giver. Izuku started slowly creating more and more birds from rocks, the more of his 'life' he gave away the more lethargic he got. Wow i'm really giving up my soul with this aren't I? Izuku briefly wondered if he gave up all of his soul and then brought it back would he return to life? That's not something he wanted to test. It seems like at his current level life giver reaches a point where it's debilitating around 60%, going further than that just started slowing him down more and more. Izuku canceled the life giving quirk and he instantly felt all his energy return. What a weird quirk Izuku thought to himself. Whelp time to try to float thankfully I haven't eaten yet today. He activated the quirk on himself and instantly felt the need to vomit, and began dry heaving. Oh right, she's had this quirk for how long and she still has to vomit after like a minute? This probably wasn't the smartest move. He deactivated the quirk as soon as he could, thankfully the feeling of nausea left quickly. Izuku really needed to start thinking more before he tried different things out. He chuckled as he remembered what Momo had once told him, Intelligence of 18 Wisdom of 5. He brought himself out of his head and near vomitting to see Kirishima in a similar state.

"You alright spiky hair?" He said at Kirishima mockingly.

"Oh not you too." Kirishima was huffing with the effort to prevent himself from hurling chunks. He managed to get himself together enough before responding again. "I think i've gotten enough training with this quirk for the day, i'm going to talk to Aizawa-Sensei about using it at the sports festival. You should get out of here before working yourself over too much as well Midoriya." He flashed a thumbs up at the quirk stealer.

Izuku looked over and at Aoyama and Kaminari spamming their new quirks before walking out the door.

Unknown to the students however was that Aizawa had been watching them from the viewing room, he wasn't going to let them train her unsupervised after all and after watching his student slam face first into a rock for the umpteenth time he was facepalming. Maybe I shouldn't have let the problem child give out extra quirks.

He had a few things he needed to do, he needed to get his original quirks back for one. On the way back he saw Todoroki going for a run. Izuku gave a brief wave which the other boy interpreted as Izuku wanted to talk to him.

Todoroki stood there with his usual blank stare. "Midoriya."

Izuku hadn't planned for this and he knew nothing about Todoroki's likes and dislikes, well aside from his father. "Oh hey Todoroki how are you doing?"

"Good Midoriya, I wanted to tell you something. I'm going to see my Mom today. I think depending on what she says i'll decide if i'm going to use my fire or not." Todoroki stated.

"That's... good. I'm sure your mother will want to see you after all this time, if it's been eating at you this much imagine what it's doing to her. I'm sure she wants to see you Todoroki." Izuku tried to answer in his best empathetic tone.

"...Thank you Midoriya. I hope you are right, i'm going to finish my run i'll see you later." Todoroki turned and ran off.

Izuku wondered if the man's neutral personality was a result of his two quirks canceling each other. He'd seen other people influenced by their quirks after all. Insert Bakugo is Bakugo and Asui talks like a frog.

The rest of his trip to the dorms was much less interesting seeing nobody before entering the door to common room. Thankfully the earlier mob had dissipated and he was not ambushed upon entry. He did spy Sato cooking as per usual though.

Sato looked up from the cupcakes he was making when he heard the door to the dorms opened. "Hey Midoriya, how was training?"

Izuku walked up the counter and sat down. "Pretty good, learning the limits of new quirks is interesting to say the least. Hey have you seen Uraraka?"

Sato briefly pondered before responding. "I can't say that I have. Try checking her room? ...Um also I know everyone was hounding you earlier. That may have been my fault, I may have complained to Jirou about not getting an extra quirk and she kinda gathered everyone via communal whining. Sorry."

Midoriya just sighed. "Don't worry you will all get extra quirks eventually." He pulled out a notebook. "Any specific type of quirk you want?"

Sato just stared in amazement. "Is that a list of what people have been asking for? And um yes, a type of speed quirk or flight would be nice. I have raw strength but that's about it, it doesn't help if I dont get there in time."

Izuku sweat dropped before jotting that down. "Yeah everyone has been asking for speed quirks so I apologize but your like 3rd in line for one of those."

Sato pouted briefly. "Yeah that makes sense."

Izuku stood up checking the room location board. "I'm going to go find Uraraka so i'll talk to you later." He waved as he walked off.

Izuku knocked three times at Uraraka's door before he heard a slam from inside the room briefly followed by shouting. He heard something about a fire, he was prepared to break down the door to help if need be but it opened soon after.

Uraraka was furiously rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry Deku I was messing around with that quirk you gave me. You kinda scared me when you knocked and I kinda uhhhh." She gestured to the burn marks on her desk that were for some reason covered in ice. "I was able to put it out by using the other half of the quirk."

Izuku just looked on incredulously. He really needed to talk to people before giving them quirks. "That's... uh fine. I just wanted to come get those quirks back. I'm sure you want float back for tomorrow."

Uraraka and her endless energy began nodding furiously. "Please Deku." She held her hand out before Izuku took it, taking his quirks back before giving hers back.

Izuku smiled at her. "Your good to go, I'll see you later!"

"Thanks Deku I'll see you later and oh i've been wondering real quick. If you don't mind me asking." She looked kind of pensive to Izuku

"Your going to ask for another quirk aren't you?" Izuku was really regretting giving out those quirks but Kaminari deserved it for defending him on the bus and he liked Kirishima enough, Aoyama was you know Aoyama and it made the most since for him to have it.

"Actually no I was wondering why you were giving them out in the first place, it's definitely gonna be a hassle for you down the line Deku." Her bright cheery face only slightly lost its glow.

Izuku just shrugged. "I couldn't let the USJ happen again, next time we'll be better prepared. That is if there is a next time but I feel like there will be. Aizawa-Sensei almost died and if the enemy hadn't had the perfect quirk to stop that beast Aizawa-Sensei would have definitely bit it."

Uraraka remembers the footage of their teacher being beaten into the ground repeatedly and shudders. "Yeah that makes sense Deku, well I hope it all works out for you. Oh by the way I finally listened to your idea and had the support people change up my costume. I now have a belt that holds a really heavy collapsible staff that I can use as a weapon, the thing weighs like 50lbs supposedly."

The way her bright cheery face reflected the light while bouncing up and down talking about bludgeoning a person unsettled Izuku to say the least. "You could talk to Momo she used to a staff before I basically forced her to switch to guns. She can probably teach you a couple things."

"Oh really? That'd be great would you ask her for me?" The gravity user stated.

"Yeah no problem I was just about to go see her. I needed her to make some stuff for Mei anyway." Izuku said casually.

"Oh hey sorry one last thing. I mean it's kinda obvious but you and her are dating right?" She looked sad when she asked that for some reason.

"Uhhhhh... fine yeah we are. We're terrible at keeping it a secret aren't we?" Izuku rubbed the back of his head while he said that.

"Oohhhhh that's uh good for you, I gotta go i'll talk to you later Deku." The girls face darkened and she nearly slammed the door on him.

Well that was weird.

Izuku got back to his room to see Momo was still asleep, he looked at his phone it was already 1pm how is she still asleep. Whelp time for a prank, he turned a pencil on his desk into a cute harmless snake before telling it to go roll around on the bed but not to bite her under any circumstances.

Momo half asleep heard the door to Izuku's room open, guessing it was just Izuku she rolled over but a few seconds later she felt something moving on top of the bed sheet she was sleeping under, wondering why someone was bothering her she used her hand to try and shoo it away but she wasn't expecting her hand to make contact with something that felt scaly? She opened her eyes to see a garden snake currently on her bed. Huh, that's weird. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed for a solid 5 seconds before throwing her bed sheets off in an attempt to get the creature away from her. Her fear was interrupted when she heard laughing from the other side of the room. She watched her boyfriend walk over and pick up the snake turning it into a pencil. "IZUKU THAT WASN'T FUNNY. YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" Momo wasn't one to yell but she thought it was warranted in this situation.

"Sorry sorry, I just couldn't resist you've been sleeping for near 14 hours, it's already 1pm. Plus I needed your help with stuff and it would never actually hurt you." Still slightly giggling.

"Well I'm not helping you now." She turned her head pouting.

Izuku felt kind of bad now so he walked over to give her a hug, which thankfully wasn't rejected. "I'm sorry Mo, it would never hurt you I swear."

"I'm still mad at you this doesn't change anything. Also you owe me chocolate now." The quirk inheritor said as she put her finger up to her boyfriends mouth. "No talking back this time Izu."

They stayed like for almost a minute before Momo spoke. "So what did you need my help with Izuku?"

"Oh well two things, Mei wanted you to drop by the lab so you could make her some materials she needs. The other was Uraraka, she got an upgrade to her costume and she fights with a staff now, I know you were good with those way back when. She was wondering if you might be willing to train her. Also huh I hadn't noticed at first but your quirk is slowly being eaten up by One for All, it's getting that wispyness all the other quirks in you have." Izuku went to try and take it and sure enough the quirk evaded him like all the rest, not being able to use creation anymore was kind of sad but now All for One can't steal it so that's a plus.

"Is that a bad thing Izu? Do we need to talk to All Might about it?" She had a worried expression on her face.

"No it should be fine but we should let him know anyway. All it really means is I can't take it anymore but more importantly HE can't." Izuku shuddered when he realized that they were going to fight someone with his quirk but vastly more experience and time using it.

"If you say so and to the things you brought up sure, I'll message Uraraka to let her know but we aren't starting till after the Sports Festival as for Mei yeah that should be fine just let me take a shower first."

It was about 30 minutes later when they arrived at the door to Mei's lab and Momo should have expected it when the door exploded outward taking her and Izuku down with it. Thankfully she was able to lift it using One for All combined with Izuku's super strength or they could have been in danger.

They heard a voice from inside the room shout. "Darn it Mei, if you explode one more thing I'm suspending you from the lab for a week. Are either of you hurt?" He helped the couple by pushing the door off to the side of them with his mech suit.

Izuku spoke first. "No we're okay thank you Power Loader Sensei."

The familiar mop of the pink haired girls dreadlocks came into view. "IZUKU YOUR HERE AND YOU BROUGHT THE CREATION GIRL. PERFECTION BOTH OF YOU IN IN." She got behind the couple and shoved them into the room. "Here's what you asked for Izuku, I made every adjustment you asked for." She put one of the briefcases used for costumes into his hand. "Now your end of the deal make me Platinum, Gold, Diamond, and Copper and lots of it." She was bobbing her head up and down like an excited child.

Momo sighed and complied dropping a copious amount of precious metals onto a work table. "Is this enough?"

Mei just stared at the metals salivating. "Yes time to make so many babies." She cackled and walked off.

"I'm never going to get used to that girl am I Izuku? Also what is that?" Momo looked at the shiny briefcase in his hands.

"Uh i'll show you when we get back to the dorms it's a surprise I had her make for you." Izuku couldn't tell her he found her hero costume to distracting for him and got her a new one. Nope nope.

The trip back to the dorms was relatively peaceful and quiet. They didn't stop until they had reached Momo's room on the second floor.

Once they had unlocked the room and closed it behind her Izuku basically shoved the case into her hands. "I went through the liberty of getting mei to make you a better costume, I hope you don't mind Momo."

She just stared at the case for a few seconds before asking. "Wait why? My current costume is fine."

"Um lets just say your current costume was a bit how should I put this. Exposing. If she made it the way I asked it should be a lot better than your old one. Go ahead try it on." He pointed to the bathroom.

Momo just went with it and went into the bathroom. "When she opened the case what she saw looked amazing, it was a black jumpsuit with red trimmings on the side, it was split into two pieces and an 2 arm guards which also went with the black with red trimmings. It kind of reminded her of something from that show about Ninjas from the pre quirk era Izuku had made her watch but it was stunning. However could she use her quirk like this? Knowing Izuku he definitely made sure that was a thing.

She exited the room to witness Izuku's staring at her, she blushed a bit.

"It looks amazing on you Momo, it looks like Mei did everything I asked does the wrist computer work?" Izuku was practically vibrating with excitement.

"Oh you mean this, what does it do?" She asked curious.

"I might as well just tell you everything it does, the fabric is made of the same stuff that Midnights hero outfit is so it self repairs on top of that I had Mei install a computer on the suit it's voice activated and has google I had her make that to replace that book you carried with you on your costume. Just say what you need and it'll pull up the associated information with whatever object you want to make. I also had her change the design to help match your black theme that you have going on, I kept some red in there because I knew you liked the color . I also had Mei add a storage belt so you can keep small items created in advance like stun grenades. So what do you think?" Izuku said listing off the functions of the suit.

Momo was in shock, he had done all this for her? "I love it Izuku thanks." She pulled the boy into a hug before kissing him. "I can't wait to test it out, it's a shame that the Sports Festival tomorrow or i'd go do so right now."

"I'm just glad the work I put into it won't go to waste then." He smiled at her before looking at the time and suggesting they head off to get an early dinner, to which she eagerly agreed.

Todoroki stood in front of the door of the hospital that contained his mother. How was she going to react? Would she still hate the left side of him? No, he couldn't let thoughts like that stop him, he had to do this. Todoroki opened the door gently only to see his mother by the window in a hospital gown, gazing outside lazily.

Rei Todoroki heard the door to her hospital room open, weird the doctors weren't supposed to be by for another hour or so. She was not expecting the person who entered the door but she recognized the face of her child almost immediately. Especially after what she did, she'd had nightmares about mutilating her child's face for so long. "Sh-houto?"

Todoroki paled after hearing his mother say his name like that, in addition the face she had made it look like she was seeing a ghost. He needed to fix this and quickly, he nearly jumped the woman, hugging her tightly. "It's okay mom I still love you, i've never hated you."

He felt the tears before hearing the woman's sobs. "Oh thank god, I thought you hated me. I mean look what I did to you."

"Mom I know it was his fault it was never yours. The only reason I didn't come here sooner was because I was scared you still hated my left side." Shouto was biting back his own tears at this point. Thankful for this second chance Shouto knew everything was going to be alright.

Chapter 17: The Sports Festival part 1

Summary:

The Sports Festival part 1

Chapter Text

Everyone was standing around in the waiting room, the sports festival was set to begin in just 20 minutes. Izuku could basically hear the nerves of everyone in the room, he went over to Momo and gave her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. "You got this don't worry." He smiled at her before noticing a dark look from Uraraka, he should talk to her about that later.

Shortly after that though Izuku heard Todoroki calling his name from behind him. "Midoriya, I know i've never beaten you in a fight, not once since the beginning of this year and I don't count the draw. But let me say this, i'm going to win. I thank you for everything you've done for me but don't expect any mercy even though you can't use all your quirks."

Izuku stood up straight, if he was going to be challenged then he should take it in stride. "Same to you Todoroki, I may be at a disadvantage since I can only use Jetstream and mental quirks people wouldn't notice but that's not going to stop me. That being said I wouldn't be so sure about me being your only competition after all everyone who has a second quirk has been authorized to use them." Not like theres a reason to hide them when the worst possible enemy already knows, Izuku sighed at that thought he had been told by the Principal he could use two visible quirks as well but Izuku figured he'd be fine since he was using about 5 as it stands. Jetstream, Tempo, Super Strength, (Although I won't be pulling any herculean feats today) Molecular Manipulation, and Ultra Sight.

Izuku's speech was followed by a clang from Kirishima. "Bro that's so manly, we all know your the strongest in the class but thanks for believing in us."

"Yeah fuck you Icy-hot, Deku's useless ass isn't the only opponent you have to overcome." Bakugo brought his thrilling narrative to the table.

Kaminari chimed in next. "Hasn't Midoriya beaten you in like every assignment we've done and don't forget that time he stomped you during battle training."

"ALRIGHT PIKACHU CONGRATS YOUR AT THE TOP OF MY SHIT LIST NOW, DEKU AFTER I'M DONE WITH HIM I'M COMING FOR YOU." Bakugo roared at the electric user.

"I'm terrified." Kaminari did his best i'm scared impression.

The intercom chose this moment to stop what was likely going to escalate into a fight. "The Sports Festival is beginning Class 1-A please make your way to the field."

Izuku did his best to stop his nerves before stepping out of the corridor and into a positively screaming arena.

Present Mic Bellowed into the radio."It's the class that fought villains and came out unscathed, clap your hands for class 1-A! Followed by their sister class who haven't really had their chance to shine yet, its class 1-B! Next up we have the general education department class, is there a dark horse amongst these young individuals? Who knows but give it up for Class 1-C, D, and E. Next the folks who do their best to be the heroes hero the support courses class 1-F, G, and H! Last but not least here comes the course that markets our young heroes in training, the business courses I, J, and K! Now let's let our roars be heard for our up and coming students! YAYYYYYYYYYYY! Oh and how could I forget my Co Commenter ERASERHEAD!"

"Stop using your quirk when i'm in the same room." Aizawa could feel his head throbbing.

"Any favourites this year Eraserhead?" He knew the man would never take a favourite he's never before.

"Izuku Midoriya will at least reach the top 10, you still do that bet like you do every year because if so I'm in for once." Aizawa deadpanned at the man.

Izuku cringed when he heard that and turned to see all his class glaring at him but more like an accepting glare than an actually angry one.

"Oh what's this a student has finally managed to win Eraserhead over? Deal, if he gets any lower than the top 10 I win. But anyway folks let's give it up for our umpire Midnight!" Present mic had slightly dropped his tone to spare his co commentator.

"As the student who ranked in first place during the Yuuei Entrance Exam, Bakugou Katsuki is the representative of all the First Years! Please walk up to the stage and give your speech!" Midnight said blowing a kiss out to the crowd.

The entirety of Class 1-A face palmed as what they knew was going to happen.

"Sensei... I'm going to win." Bakugo stated as if it were a fact.

The entire crowd plus the other classes started booing. He heard some kid from behind him shout about the superiority of class 1-B but the thing that was weird was the voice he recognized it. OH shit that's Monoma, I don't think I ever showed him ultra-sight so I should be safe?

"SHUT UP I WASN'T FINISHED YOU EXTRAS. Now as I was saying I'm going to win the first round and the second round and when it finally comes to the tournament. DEKU I'M GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS SO BADLY YOU WON'T EVER BE ABLE TO FORGET IT. YOU HEAR ME?" Bakugo roared that last part before pointing at Izuku's mop of green and to his chagrin every person around him stepped to the side.

Midoriya cringed even more why was everyone singling him out of every competitor. He could feel the gaze of every person in the arena on him, it has been made abundantly clear they need to watch out for Izuku and he hates it. Is this how All Might feels?

Bakugo dropped the mic before walking off the stage.

Midnight did her best to bring order to the chaos that was everyone booing in the stands. "Well it seems like our competitors are fired up today! Let's waste no time and start the competition. Everybody if you could direct your eyes to the screen we will soon see what the first challenge of the day will be." The wheel spun for around 10 seconds before stopping on obstacle course. "It seems the first thing all of you youngsters will have to triumph over is the U.A. High Obstacle Course! One of our fan favourites! Now everyone get into position at the gate, we'll be starting in five minutes."

Izuku walked over and grabbed Momo by the shoulder." Wanna work together on this? I also don't mind taking second and if we work together we will easily win this thing." Izuku raised his fist.

Momo mulled it over before accepting. "That seems like a good idea Izu, what do you have planned?"

Izuku mulled it over for a second. "Surprisingly I think Kirishima is actually the most likely to win this, quick step is really good at this kind of thing. So we either need to outspeed near teleportation or find a way to shut him down early. We could just go with the wing glider plan but I want to save that for the end. Do you have any ideas?"

Momo paused thinking about it there wasn't much they could do since actually attacking Kirishima was outright illegal and it would be very hard for them to lock him down. " I think our best bet is too just ignore him, it's not like were allowed to do anything in this scenario we just gotta hope he isn't good enough with it yet." Momo shrugged. "As for us i'll make a 2 seater bike and we'll combine your super strength and my One for All 8% and we'll charge through this course. If there are any places where the bike won't work we can just pick it up and carry it for a bit."

"Good enough plan for me, I have a feeling I know exactly what Todoroki is going to do from his spot so get ready to jump over some Ice before you create the bike." Izuku was pretty sure he knew what the Ice teen was going to do.

It was at that point near the front where they were at the countdown started.

"GO!" roared from the mic.

"So what's going to be a crucial point Eraser?" Mic asked his cocommenter.

"Right here watch this." Aizawa responded his voice dry as ever.

Izuku grabbed Momo and threw her forward with as much strength as he could muster before Jetstreaming after her While In mid air he instructed her to take the front seat. Momo was meanwhile busy trying to create the bike as fast as she could. They had already passed Todoroki at this point but they still saw the boy throwing an ice wave back to the entrance. "He's going to try and catch up with us or throw Ice at us. How much longer for that bike?"

Momo responded while not trying to break her focus. "You know larger things take me longer give me like 5 seconds." They both kept running while Izuku turned to see the Heterochromatic boy surfing on his ice in order to speed up.

"The power duo Izuku Midoriya and Yaoyorozu Momo take an early lead, Todoroki is in hot pursuit however or is that an icy pursuit?" Mic chuckled into the mic.

"It seems the two of them have decided to team up as opposed to working against each other. It's an interesting strategy." Aizawa chimed in.

Momo finally finished her creation having been smart enough to open her blouse before trying to make something that large, she didn't need a wardrobe malfunction on live television. "Alright Izuku it's ready get on." She wasted no time getting on and pedaling while Izuku jumped onto the back set. As soon as they had semblance of balance Izuku put Jetstream into overdrive while pedaling as hard as he could greatly accelerating their speed when combined with Momos own pedaling.

"Is that a two seater bike? Seems you were right on the mark Eraser, they ARE working together. It seems Midoriya is using his quirk Jetstream to propel them while Yaoyorozu uses her own quirk to peddle as fast as she can. What is her quirk anyway?" Mic posed the question to Aizawa.

"Her quirk is called Indra, she generates black lightning that can be used to create inorganic objects or strengthen her own body. It's an incredibly versatile quirk as you can see." Aizawa explained mechanically.

Izuku turned back to see the distance they were creating as the Icy Hot teen started getting further and further behind them. Only to catch Kirishima using quick step to quickly pass the other teen. "Kirishima's coming, I knew he was going to be a problem Momo can you make something to block his view? If he can't see the location he can only teleport so far. Actually just drop glue behind us if his feet can't move the quirk won't work."

Momo complied but trying to focus on three things at once was really getting to her. Driving this bike keeping up OFA and trying to create something was incredibly taxing on her mind. "Got it i'm going to start dropping glue bombs as we go." But it was at this point that they noticed what was in front of them. "Are those the zero pointers you mentioned?!"

"It's fine Momo just power through they are to slow to actually stop us." Izuku at least hoped they were as he had never fought the mechanical beasts himself.

"The power couple makes it to the first obstacle, ROBO INFERNO. Let's see how they tackle this." Mic announced to the roaring crowd.

"Their just going to speed through, they have hit around 60 miles per hour at this point, I don't see the robots even posing a slight problem for them." Aizawa added to mics commentary.

True to Aizawa's word the slow and clunky robots posed no threat as they zoomed by. "It looks like Kirishima got hit by the glue, good job Momo. I'm trying to keep track of them with Zoom but we're so far ahead at this point I think we got this." Izuku immediately regretted his words as he saw what was before them. A massive pit

"Their so far ahead they aren't even worried about the competition but they've already reached the second obstacle in record time, it's the FALL. How will the bike combo pass this?" mic said trying to rile up the crowd.

"With the power of Midoriya's quirk and the near infinite uses of Yaoyorozu's quirk I can see several ways they could pass this obstacle easily." Aizawa always the straight man.

"Hey Izuku were abandoning the bike for a bit. I'm going to wingsuit over, can you bring the bike?" Momo shouted back to her co rider.

"Yeah I got it Momo just go, i'll see you on the other side." Izuku shot back.

Momo charged up 12% before launching herself into the sky gliding over the pit crossing it in 2 jumps.

Izuku meanwhile grabbed the bike and launched himself from pillar to pillar it took him nearly 3 times as long because of the additional weight but they both Izuku knew should be the one to do this.

"The bike combo separates in order to breezeover the pit. Pun intended, is there any hope of somebody catching up?" Mic said.

"I was expecting this if i'm being honest I knew both of their quirks were heavily favoured in this event. I stand corrected look who's catching up." Aizawa said changing the camera to Kirishima.

Kirishima was absolutely gassed, he had been overusing quick step too much and he was already about to vomit. HOW far ahead were they, he was on his 5th successive jump before he stepped across the pit in one go. It was at that moment that his nausea caught up to him and he blew chunks all over the floor.

"It seems the runner up to the duo has hit quirk overuse and began vomiting profusely. If you want to eat lunch later i'd recommend looking away folks." Mic said jovially.

Well that was lucky Izuku thought, we managed to push him into vomiting. He had since recovered onto the bike with Momo before blasting off down the rest of the course.

"Nothing seems to even close to impeding these two powerhouses of class 1-A. It seems like he is your favourite is for a good reason Eraser. But how will they handle the final obstacle, MINEFIELD!" Mic said taunting the man.

Aizawa sneered, the kid saved his life he may as well cheer for him. "It was logical given the events in question and his quirk."

Present Mic chimed back in again. "And what pray tell is his quirk for our audience."

Aizawa lifted up the document in front of him. "His quirk Jetstream allows him to shoot highly pressurized air blasts from his palms, they are quite strong capable of reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour."

Izuku was a little annoyed all their quirks were being revealed like this but oh well and what was that about a minefield? Well Izuku didn't think this quirk would be getting used today but here we are. "Momo keep charging ahead I have EMP activated they shouldn't explode as long as we are near them!"

Dauntless as ever they ran straight into the minefield not even slowing, thankfully it seemed Izuku was correct in his assumption. Thankfully EMP wasn't a quirk you could see but the staticy feeling was as usual weird.

"What is this the mines aren't even detonating how could they possibly be getting around this?" Mic was incredulous.

Aizawa face palmed knowing exactly why they weren't going off, stupid Problem Child. "Yaoyorozu can even produce electronics with her quirk, it's possible they created an EMP generator or something similar to prevent the devices from exploding. One day she created a GPS tracker in my class."

"Well with no competition anywhere near them it seems we have our winners of the first event and here they come now. Yaoyorozu Momo Finishes in 1st place, Izuku Midoriya places in 2nd! Now let's cut back to the rest of the pack." Mic changed the screen so it showed Kirishima.

Kirishima had finally recovered from his first nauseous bout only to have quick stepped over the Minefield and immediately began vomiting a minute Midoriya and Yaoyorozu already finished? Meanwhile the same thought occurred to both Bakugo and Todoroki.

Bakugo cursed under his breath fucking Deku teamed up his girlfriend to win this shit years ago and i'm still at the second fucking obstacle. How fucking fast were they going.

Todoroki wished he didn't have to deal with Bakugo's screaming but at the same time he couldn't believe that Midoriya had already finished with Yaoyorozu. Todoroki knew how fast they were going on that bike and knew he wouldn't be able to keep up but this was ridiculous.

Mic's comment on the people who had already finished had spurred Kirishima to begin hobbling towards the goal "Our poor red haired boy continues to push through the pain but Bakugo and Todoroki are beginning to catch up!.

Kirishima turned around to see both Todoroki and Bakugo had reached the minefield, he could see the finish line from where he was which meant he could, oh well time to be manly. He quick stepped one more time flashing past the finish line before hobbling over and vomiting bile as everything else had long since been evacuated from his body.

"Kirishima Ejiro gives himself one final push to rocket across the finish line taking 3rd for himself! Let's give it up for our red haired macho man! That being said I thought his quirk simply hardened his body Eraser?" Mic said grilling the man for answers.

"Kirishima is a dual type quirk user like Todoroki, he can jump long distances or harden his body." Aizawa sighed wondering how they convinced the principal to go along with this.

"Speaking of Todoroki here he comes taking 4th for himself and Bakugo Katsuki explodes into 5th place."

Fifth? Bakugo Katsuki does not get fifth place, fucking Deku needs to stop giving these extras more quirks.

A similar thought passed Todoroki, he knew his quirk wasn't suited for a race since the quirk Assessment test was more than enough to prove that but he hadn't even seen 1-3rd place since the first obstacle. Midoriya was being really troublesome by handing out quirks, maybe he should ask for one?

Izuku was sitting next to Momo waiting for everybody else to file in. "Well we did it, wanna team up for the next one too? The sports festival usually has some kind of team event for the 2nd event."

Momo nodded along. "Of course you would know that you hero nerd but sure." She flashed him a bright smile.

Meanwhile Bakugo was watching this exchange with disgust, fucking romantic dweebs.

In a seedy bar in the bad part of town.

"Sensei I don't want to watch these hero rejects compete in this stupid event." Shigaraki spoke to the monitor that displayed audio only.

"Now now Shigaraki, this is important you need to learn more about your future enemies. Not to mention we've uncovered something interesting. That boy with my quirk is handing them out to the other heroes, that red haired one Kirishima I believe. Has no records of ever having such a quirk. The boy is becoming a problem quickly if he keeps loading up the heroes with more quirks. Also it seems he no longer possesses your quirk anymore. I wonder what he did with it." The man chuckled.

"Sensei I want to kill him, I want to kill him so bad." Shiggy reached for a glass to disintegrate it only for no such thing to occur. So instead he took the glass and slammed into the floor shattering it to pieces.

"You will in time my pupil. You will. We must be patient for now, build up our strength again and attack this hero boy. He cannot be tolerated any further but if we act in haste we will fail. I am loathe to admit it but the boy might even give me trouble. After all we have no idea how many quirks he is in possession of and if All Might has been grooming the boy he must be strong."

Shigaraki was startled when he heard that. "Yes, Sensei I will be patient."

"Good, now let's continue on with learning about our target." The man spoke with his darkened charisma.

Everyone had finally crossed the finish line so Midnight moved on to announce the next event.

"Alright time to announce who survived to the next round congratulations to the top 42 runners of our race. If your below that i'm sorry but your out please report to your classes viewing stands." She whipped the floor when she said that, why is she a teacher her again?

"Alright now that the top 42 contestants are the only here I'll announce the next event get ready for the ...CAVALRY BATTLE. But theres a twist each of you 42 will be wearing a headband that represents the total score of your team combined. At the end of 15 minutes the groups with the highest scores will advance onto the next round. Starting at 5 points and increasing by 5 for rank higher you received. The exception? First place is worth ... TEN MILLION POINTS." Midnight snapped her whip again.

Momo felt all eyes turn to her including Izuku's. "I should've let you get first Izuku." She felt a nervous sweat begin to drop from her face.

Midnight continued speaking after her dramatic pause. "With that said you have 15 minutes to form teams of 2-4 people. Good luck!"

Izuku turned to Momo and spoke" Well that's a thing isn't it, although I do have a plan. Let's be a team of just 2 people it'll make us more mobile and we're gonna need it if were playing keep away for the whole match. Although I do have one other idea you might like if you don't want to play keep away.

Momo felt like she had been sucker punched. "Well I think avoiding people for 15 straight minutes will be rough unless we go with the hang glider plan. We'd be mostly safe with that you can hold your quirk for around 30 minutes yeah Izuku?"

Their brainstorming session was rudely interrupted when Mei barged over. "Material girl, Izuku team up with me." She threw her thumb out and pointed to herself.

"Eh sorry Mei we're going as a group of 2, besides it'll be boring watching us. I'd recommend going and teaming up with Bakugo or Todoroki otherwise you won't get any exposure."

The invention girl deflated after hearing that but ultimately accepted. "Good luck you two."

"Alright so since we don't have enough room to fly safely without going over the borders let's go with my 2nd plan. Alright so here's what we're gonna do." -

Roughly 15 minutes later Midnight announced the ending of the planning phase.

Bakugo noticed the nerds were teamed up again god this stupid power couple bullshit was getting on his nerves, plus he wouldn't admit it but he knew they were a problem when on the same team. His own team had that support extra, shitty hair, and alien girl. The bonus of inventions was hopefully going to balance out the difference. He was driven out of his thoughts by the sound of the announcer. Fuck he was better than getting distracted.

READY START!

"Well isn't this a sight, the power duo of the first round are together again and only as a two man team and it seems Yaoyorozu has strapped herself to Midoriya with a harness? I guess this way it's impossible for Yaoyorozu to fall off unless Midoriya himself falls over but I have to admit it does not look very heroic. I wonder what their plan for this round is Eraser." Mic asked his friend.

"They seem to want to play keep away and this way maximizes their mobility, after all they just need to run away to win this round." He was immediately proven wrong.

"You ready Momo?" Izuku asked his rider.

"Yeah we got this Izuku." She flashed him a smile and with that Izuku charged straight into Bakugo.

Momo pulled off her head band and immediately thrust it into Bakugo's hands. "Here consider it a gift." She yelled towards Bakugo while running past them.

"What the fuck! COME BACK HERE I'M EARNING THIS FAIR AND SQUARE I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING DONATIONS!" Bakugo screamed at the fleeing couple before noticing all eyes had switched to him.

"What was that? They just gave up the Ten Million Points?! What a surprising move from Team Yaoyorozu!" Present mic hadn't seen that one before.

"It's not a bad plan actually, now no one will be targeting them and they're free to target other groups. It seems they don't want first place, just the ability to move on." Why can Aizawa never predict what that stupid problem child is about to do, he sighed for like the 40th time this day alone.

Izuku immediately ran to the other ring looking around trying to absorb the chaos before him, Momo was set facing backwards on the harness so she could watch their back, she trusted Izuku to move them where they needed to go. Izuku spotted his first target a group of people from 1-B who were aggressively attacking Bakugo's team Izuku ran by using Silence and Jetstream to launch himself past them using tempo to make sure he could grab the headband accurately. It reminded him of his battle with Shigaraki if he was being honest, he took the now stolen headband and passed it onto Momo. "One down like 6 to go, you good up there?"

"Yeah i'm just making sure no one gets close, it's a good thing I asked about tranquilizers and they ended up being legal since Kaminari would basically be quirkless in here if he couldn't electrocute people." Momo shouted back down to her horse. She took aim and started picking off Riders left and right, she made a relatively weak version but with this she could make it easier for Izuku to grab headbands as they flew by.

"Is team Yaoyorozu tranquilizing people?! Is that even allowed Eraserhead?" Mic was starting to see why Aizawa had such faith in his students as they tore through the competition grabbing headbands left and right. The combination of extreme speed and knocking out the riders from a distance was incredible.

"Yes they are but even I must say I wasn't expecting this tactic. The speed they have from only having 2 members is giving them a large guerilla style attack advantage, most of the Teams don't even seem to be aware they're missing a headband they are all too focused on the Ten Million Points." Aizawa looked at the scoreboard and noticed almost all of 1-A was down in the dumps point wise.

The one sided pillaging continued for a good ten minutes and the riders finally began to start waking up. Drowsy and confused as to where their points were only for their horses to explain the situation to them.

"Alright Momo that's enough were in 2nd place, anymore and people will start hunting us. Let's just kick it back over here by the edge and wait this out." He said to the person riding on his back.

"Sound good to me Izu there's no way enough people will override us enough to drop out of the top 4 places anyway." Momo shifted getting up and rearranging herself to see forward so that she could snipe anyone who came for them.

They lasted another 4 minutes this way and with only a minute left Izuku thought they were home free only to see Todoroki and his team of Kaminari, Iida, and Jirou and making their way towards them.

"Momo threat level Alpha shoot him we can't let him get close to us." Momo responded by unloading into Todoroki who merely used his fireside to melt the rounds. She didn't have enough time to create fire retardant rounds before a glacier was dropped on them Izuku took this moment to dash as fast as he could to the right hopefully evading the iceberg. Without fire or decay he couldn't just halt the wave and he's not pulling out another quirk here, but the extra weight Momo provided him slowed him down to much. His leg was unfortunately caught at the edge of the glacier, well as long as didn't fall over he was fine. He managed to rip his leg from the glacier just in time to avoid another one. Space was quickly becoming an issue here, at least they only had to last 30 more seconds though.

"Momo just keep firing it'll trip him up he can't use his fire and ice at the same time he has to alternate like you do with your quirk." Izuku was shouting desperately at this point.

"Midoriya I can't allow you to proceed to the next round your too dangerous. Forgive me for th-." The boy slumped over a dart in his neck.

"Thank god Momo holy shit that was close." Of course their short celebration was ruined via an explosive teen charging them, thankfully right before he made contact the event ended and they successfully kept all their points.

Izuku pointed to the board so Momo could see.

Team Bakugo -1st Place

Team Yaoyorozu - 2nd Place

Team Todoroki - 3rd Place

Team Shinsou - 4th Place

Wait where did Shinsou come from he was nowhere the top of the board the last time he'd checked eh it doesn't matter. "We did it Momo!" He set her down before high fiving her.

"What an explosive round everybody. Let's put our hands together for all the competitors, and don't worry if you didn't pass we have events for all the competitors to do while we construct the arena for the final event. Oh, a word from umpire, it seems because only 14 people passed 2 members of Team Shiozaki will advance to the final round as well. Please pick two of your members to put forward. With that we're taking an hour long lunch break, we'll be back in no time flat audience!" Mic sighed glad he could drop the persona for a bit.

Aizawa was grinning beneath his bandages. "Worried yet?"

Mic faux cringed. "You really like that Midoriya kid, i'm kind of surprised you've never been like towards any of your students before."

"I can see his potential plus you know the whole saved my life thing. I'll never say it his face but I like the little shit." Aizawa smirked.

"What universe are we in where Aizawa Shouta develops a soft spot. Either way he still has to win one more round before he gets into the top 10 but i'll be honest he's likely to win it." Mic sighed realizing his wallet was likely to get smaller in the future.

Izuku checked his phone on the way to the cafeteria, it seems he, Momo, Todoroki, and Bakugo were the favourites to win the whole thing. "You seen the news, people think your gonna win the whole thing. Nervous yet?"

Momo just sighed "Please don't i'm already a wreck I don't need you making it worse." They were stopped by the sight of Endeavour in the hallway.

"Ah yes I have been looking for you two, you'll be the perfect test for my Shouto, he's finally accepted himself and is using his fire. You with the super strength and creation ability are like All Might you will be a suitable step on Shouto's path to becoming the number 1." Momo didn't know why but her boyfriend was leveling the father of Todoroki with a glare she's never seen from him before. Before she could say anything Izuku just grabbed her hand and walked off pulling her with him.

"Don't ignore me boy! Respect your elders!" Endeavour spat at them.

"Never come near me or this girl ever again if you know what's good for you you flaming pile of garbage. I know what you've done the principal knows too, it won't be long till all comes crashing down number 2." Izuku spat back at the man, now Momo was really confused what had Endeavour done? She saw the startled face of the number 2 but she let herself get pulled by Izuku.

"Soooooo what was that all about Izu?" Momo was worried at this point she'd only ever seen him act like that around Bakugo.

"He's a bad person I don't want to say but since it seems he'll be concerning himself with us, he's abused the entirety of the Todoroki family. He drove his wife insane, caused the death of one of his sons, neglected the others and beat Shouto calling it training. That man is a pile of feces!" Izuku slammed his fist into the wall causing small cracks to appear. "Sorry Momo he just reminds me of my father and I hate my father."

She remembered when Izuku had shown up at the beach suddenly having gained fire breath and telling her it was his father's quirk. He never did elaborate on that but if this was anything to go by he didn't need too. She pulled him into a hug telling him it'd be alright. "Let's just go get lunch okay Izu? It'll give us some time to relax."

Izuku merely nodded before putting a peck on her cheek.

They were being watched however by a girl with gravity defying powers. She saw the kiss and something in her broke, she ran away crying why couldn't it have been her?

Chapter 18: The Sports Festival Part 2

Summary:

The finale of the sports festival

Chapter Text

Dekusquad as they were being called now had arrived at the lunch table minus one gravity user. Between Momo, Kirishima, Tsuyu, Iida, and Izuku none of them knew where she went and it was slightly concerning to them as she was likely to be starving at this point.

"I'm sure something just called her away, she'll be back soon enough." The spiky red haired teen spoke.

Izuku shrugged."Your probably right, good job by the way, your skill with quick step has seriously improved, you got 3rd in the race and got first place with Bakugo's team."

"Honestly I wanted to join up with you two but then I noticed you rejecting everyone to take a two man squad, which was a super manly idea by the way. I just went along with Bakugo because of strength in numbers."

"Kero I just found it funny you shoved the Ten Million points in his face before running off. I honestly can say I didn't see that happening." The frog girl spoke.

"Yes it was a great tactical insight demonstrated by both of our class presidents, I must commend you further. Even we of team Todoroki had been fooled by that strategy and instead of removing you from the tournament we went after the Ten Million points. You two even managed to pass us and achieve 2nd place." The engine user stated.

Izuku was blushing a bit from the praise. "Honestly we had another plan of taking to the skies and just flying in circles for 15 minutes but we weren't sure how the aerial rules worked and didn't want to accidentally get disqualified. Plus I thought it would be really funny to piss off Bakugo. It's a shame I couldn't see it, tell me Momo how did it look."

"Oh it was as you say hilarious, he was fuming with rage when I dropped it into his lap. Although clean sweeping every single event and getting 1st in every event would've been nice too." She looked wistfully away at that.

"Oh i'm sorry Momo I didn't know you wanted to do that or I would've come up with a different strategy." Izuku felt bad he didn't realize his girlfriend just wanted to make as large of a splash as possible, Izuku guessed she wanted to impress All Might who had done the same thing.

"No it's fine Izuku, we'll have two more chances when we are 2nd and 3rd years anyway so it's fine. Plus we're still both favourites to win the tournament." She visibly brightened when she said that.

It was at that moment Uraraka returned from wherever she had been her face looked kind of puffy, had she been crying? For once he hoped Tsuyu would hold her tongue. "Hey we saved you a space Uraraka, and the lines should be pretty short by now."

The gravity girl just looked up before weakly replying. "Thanks Deku, yeah I need to refill before the final round."

"Oh yeah congrats by the way it was a good idea teaming up with Shinsou, but why did you guys team up with 1-B for that event." Izuku had been very confused by Team Shinsou team composition which consisted of the vine girl from 1-B, someone with scales from 1-B, and our Uraraka.

"Oh we didn't actually do anything, Shinsou brainwashed me and then the 1-B guys. I don't even remember what happened if i'm being honest. I couldn't even win on my own." The girls expression darkened further.

"Uraraka! This was a team effort and you won by combining the strength of our Shinsou Hitoshi with your own, do not count yourself short. I think you did very well even if you cannot remember it you were making Shinsou weightless which allowed your team greater mobility." Iida said while chopping his hands.

"Yeah Uraraka Kero, you were amazing."

The pep talk from the table raised her spirits a bit. "Aww shucks guys thanks, alright i'm going to go get food."

Immediately after she left though a person's hand was put on Izuku's shoulder, he turned to see Bakugo's absolutely livid face. I want to talk to you Deku, in private."

Izuku stood shrugging. "Sure what's up."

Bakugo just stomped off indicating for him to follow.

They had reached an abandoned hallway super far from the cafeteria before Bakugo finally turned with small sparks coming from his hand. "GOD FUCK DAMN IT SHIT. I can't put this shit into words. DEKU ARE YOU FUCKING PITYING ME?!"

Izuku was confused to say the least. "Huh? Is this about the Ten Million Points?"

"OF COURSE YOU FUCKING NERD! Why the fuck did you give me that. I wanted to EARN IT not some fucking pity prize."

"Bakugo that wasn't pity, that was tactics. I have no intention of being the next number 1. My quirk isn't suited for someone with a public face I plan on going underground like our teacher did." Izuku thought Bakugo would've realized this by now.

Bakugo was in shock, the only person with a quirk stronger than him didn't want to be the number 1? How was he going to prove himself if the strongest fighter wouldn't publically show himself, that's not a real victory. "DAMMIT DEKU I ADMIT IT OKAY, YOUR STRONG. I can't ever see myself beating you, even with this second quirk that I only have because of you. How am I supposed to sleep at night knowing I can't be the real number 1?" Bakugo was almost in tears at this point.

Izuku realized this inferiority complex must have been building up for a long time. "Bakugo I don't k-

"Shut up Deku I'm not done talking All Might is on your and that stupid girlfriends of yours side isn't he? Don't think I haven't noticed the meetings you two go to with him. What am I doing wrong? Is my ideal of the strongest hero wrong? TELL ME DEKU, AM I THE PERSON IN THE WRONG HERE?"

Izuku was in shock, he'd never seen Bakugo like this before. "I don't know Bakugo, I really don't. I won't try and say something that'll make you feel better. But power isn't everything. Bakugo do you want to hear a story? It relates to my quirk."

Taking the silence for confirmation well near silence as the other teen was holding back tears at this point.

"My quirk All for One i'm not the first person to have this quirk. There exists a great evil that like you only ever strove for power. He used the same quirk I possess to take and take, he never stopped. He just wanted more which is where the name of the quirk came from, All quirks for one person, all the power, all you could ever want. You're right it's a villains quirk, that man was the ultimate evil the world's first real supervillain. His reign of terror has continued for over 200 years, a quirk that stops aging perhaps? That man could've been the world's greatest hero but he only ever took for himself. Bakugo you are similar to him, you want power, you want to dominate others to prove that your the best. Tell me if you wanted to get stronger what would be your stopping point? Where is the line you draw before you say no I won't do this. That man had no line he did everything he wanted whenever he wanted. If your version of a hero is something you think is wrong that is up to you. I'm a hero to help others like All Might, you want to be a hero to defeat villains like Endeavour. Neither is necessarily wrong but you must be the one to pick it. I can't help you Bakugo i'm sorry." Izuku left a devastated Bakugo behind him and walked off.

Bakugo was openly weeping at this point. The type of hero he wanted to be huh? That's what it was in the end wasn't it, that fucking nerd. I want to be the strongest but that's not really an option with Deku around. I can't ever see myself beating him, and he's only going to get stronger. Not to mention apparently the quirked wonder over there wasn't even trying to compete with me. Was Bakugo the one who was a pebble on the road? This had been eating at him forever, was he really not that special? Then why did I do everything I did to get here if I can't achieve my goals? Well he could still become number 1 if he wanted too since Deku wouldn't be even on the hero billboard but that wasn't a real win, he wanted an undisputed 1st place. Whatever, it's not like sitting here and moping will fix this feeling.

Izuku and dekusquad walked up to the viewing section reserved for 1-A, they only had to wait for 10 minutes before Cementoss finished building an arena in the middle of the colosseum. Once that had been finished Midnight walked back out with mic in hand to announce the next round.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the final round of U.A. Sports Festival!" She paused allowing the crowd to roar.

"Now the finals will be a 1v1 style tournament between our finalists which are listed here. In this our contestants will be fighting each over but obviously lethal attacks are not allowed and will result in disqualification. You can win in 3 ways make the opponent give up, knock out, or by knocking them unconscious." A bracketed tournament appeared as she finished her explanation.

Jirou paled at the fact she had basically been giving the worst match up possible, her super hearing was not a positive against someone who can create explosions loud enough to burst normal eardrums. She shuddered, maybe she should just concede, she literally cannot win this matchup.

Shinsou was cheering he had been matched up against someone not in his class, this was perfect they would fall for his quirk easily and depending on whether or not Kirishima won he could even be fighting two class 1-B students in a row. He wasn't religious but the amount of luck involved here was staggering.

Izuku figured Mei wouldn't be too rough of a match even with her support items so it should be pretty easy for him, in fact he could activate EMP and watch as every single thing she did faltered. Izuku could just chalk it up to malfunctions and no one would be the wiser.

Tenya knew his match against Todoroki would come down to speed, now that the boy uses his fire he could not play the long game. He must use RECIPROBURST or he will lose.

Bakugo realized his first match was an easy win but saw who he would be fighting in the round after that. I'm barely going to breach the top 10 huh, even with Deku not being able to use all his quirks he knew how bad this was for him. His confidence had been shattered he knew it, his pride was the thing that drove him and now it's been crushed into the dirt. What else did he have?

Midnight chimed back in after letting the fighters read the board. "Will the first contestants head to their waiting rooms, we will be beginning in 15 minutes."

Izuku got a text from Mei of all people.

Chat Started

Inventor Extraordinaire: So I see the big bad strongest member of class 1-A is my opponent for round one, wanna make a deal? I know people will be watching our match expectantly after all.

Cinnamon Bun: What did you have in mind Mei?

Inventor Extraordinaire: Simple you let me show off my inventions a little and I let you win.

Cinnamon Bun: Hmm, not like i'd pass a free win up plus this helps you more anyway

Inventor Extraordinaire: This is why your my favourite baby maker

Cinnamon Bun: Please never call me that again

Inventor extraordinaire has gone offline.

Izuku just sighed, that was the most Hatsume Mei thing he had ever read. Of course she didn't care about winning she just wanted to show off her 'babies'

Setsune Tokage vs Shinsou Hitoshi

"Are you all ready? YAYYYYYYY it's the purple haired Eraserhead of class 1-A Shinsou Hitoshi versus one of the recommendation students of class of 1-B Setsune Tokage!"

Shinsou was staring down the other heroics student from 1-B, he had no idea what her quirk was but he didn't intend to find out. "May the best man or should I say woman win?" He activated his quirk here waiting for the trap to be sprung.

The greenette just chuckled. "Ha you know it. I'm the best there is."

Well that was easy Shinsou thought.

"Ready? Fight!" Midnight announced

"Turn around and walk out of the arena." Shinsou seized control of his opponent who complied and simply walked out of the arena.

Present mic decided to make himself known here. "What is this? Setsune Tokage of class 1-B walks herself out of the ring voluntarily? Has the competitor Shinsou Hitoshi done something to her!? Well the fight is already over folks and a quick one at that."

Once his opponent had stepped over the edge of the arena Shinsou released his control. "Thank you for the good match Tokage-San." before the girl could regain her senses he walked off.

Tokage on the other hand was freaking out, what the hell just happened? I lost? I don't even remember the fight starting. What did he do to me? She just angrily walked back to the side of the arena she entered from.

Once she had returned to the viewing section of the entirety of class 1-B they all started grilling her. "I have no idea what happened, the last thing I remember is the countdown starting and then bam i'm out of the arena i'm sorry guys."

"Of course the detestable class of 1-A would have such a villainous quirk amongst themselves. It matters not Rin you must defeat him in the next round."

Rin was pretty sheepish." You know I have to beat that guy with two quirks first right Monoma? His hardening seemed strong enough on it's own but he also has what looks like a teleportation quirk." The scales user did not like his odds.

Monoma simply continued his rant. "Like that hardly matters there are only three of us left, we cannot let the upstarts of 1-A continue to dominate the show."

"Round 2 will be commencing soon, can the next contestants get to their waiting rooms."

Setsune flashed a toothy grin. "You got this scales."

Rin was now standing apart from his opponent the red haired dual quirk user from 1-A, he didn't even know if his scales could hurt him through his hardening.

Kirishima spoke first. "Relax man and let's have a manly battle." He smashed his hardened fists together.

Rin recovered slightly. "Right, may the best man win."

Midnight was squealing internally, such passionate youth.

"Time for the second round everybody, hopefully it'll be more of a show than the last one. From Class 1-A getting 3rd in the obstacle course and working with team Bakugo to get 1st in the cavalry battle its Ejiro Kirishima and from Class 1-B it's the man whose more lizard than human Hiryu Rin! Ready? Start!"

The both of them instantly activated their quirks Rin knew he had no chance if his opponent was able to get up close so she started running in circles while firing his scales at Kirishima. Kirishima seemed unphased by his barrage which only made the boy even more irritated, of course his quirk wouldn't be able to deal enough damage.

Kirishima on the other hand was wincing in pain, these things hit like bullets and he knew he could stop those. Better not to let this continue but also like Midori bro said I shouldn't combine them, I don't want to kill this guy. He started charging up quick step before launching himself slightly in front of the space rin was going to appear, he made sure to deactivate his hardening before the punch to the gut connected. When he turned around he saw the scales user crunched up in a ball on the ground. Taking no time he grabbed him and threw him from the arena.

" IN A STUNNING DISPLAY OF SPEED AND STRENGTH EJIRO KIRISHIMA ENDS IT WITH A SINGLE PUNCH! KIRISHIMA WINS BY RINGOUT!"

Kirishima walked over the guy he knocked the wind out of before extending a hand. "Holy crap those scales hurt man, I couldn't have held out for much longer. I can take bullets so that was impressive as hell."

Rin was still coughing to breathe but saw the hand and took it. "Wow your good at hiding the pain man, I thought I wasn't even hurting you."

"Yeah well that's the trick for someone with a quirk like mine right? If you make the enemy think they aren't even hurting you it'll scare them into submission quicker."

"That's... a good point. I didn't even think of that. Good luck in the rest of the tournament dude." Rin sighed realizing he had been beaten thoroughly.

"Thanks bro I appreciate it and i'll avenge your classmate in the next round don't worry."

"Oh so that brainwashing quirk has a weakness after all?" His opponent was too nice it seemed.

Shit Kirishima realized he was giving info up on his classmates. "Nah i'm just confident, ha ha ha."

That was the fakest laugh Rin had ever heard. "Well right, good luck." He walked through his side of the arena. Once he got back to his class he had to let them know that the quirk had a weakness.

"So your saying there's some way to exploit the quirk after all?" Monoma shouted in ecstatic glee. "Shiozaki you must avenge class 1-B, thankfully we will have a chance to see what happens when Shinsou fights Kirishima. If shinsou wins just act like Kirishima does and it should all work out." He cackled menacially before getting a neck chop from Kendo.

"Monoma you really need to chill." The hand user in question was getting tired of his constant antics. "He's probably right though try and identify how Kirishima handles the fight you two. If we can figure out whatever weakness that quirk has we may be able to defeat it ourselves should it reach us."

"The good light of the lord shall guide us through this tribulation." The vine haired girl clasped her hands together in prayer while being showered by a light from above.

The rest of the class deadpanned, seriously how does she do that?

Meanwhile back with 1-A

"We're really crushing it so far guys, it's a shame that were going to have to start fighting our own class soon though." Izuku stammered out.

"Well obviously we had to eventually green, not much we can do about that." Jirou was still internally swearing about her match. "So who's gonna win between your girlfriend and pinky?"

"Well i'd say it's favouritism but Momo has this pretty easily. She has more range, speed, power, and options than Mina has. I'd be hard pressed to ever see Momo losing this. I'm expecting this to be over in about five seconds if i'm being honest."

Uraraka hearing Deku admit that Momo was girlfriend was still a pretty fresh wound and having it be reaffirmed right here was not helping, she just sulked off to the corner trying to avoid being near him right now.

"Oh really how so dude?" Kaminari joined into the conversation.

"I mean i'd spoil it but it's pretty obvious if you think about how the cavalry battle went." Izuku could see the gears spinning in Kaminari's head before the lightbulb appeared.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, she's just gonna tranq her isn't she?"

"Yeah..."

Back to the two people in the arena

"Yaomomo don't think i'm going to go easy on you just because your boyfriend is watching." The pink haired girl stuck her tongue out, little did she know she was teasing the beast.

Well Momo wouldn't lie to herself getting to shut up Mina was going to be nice, her hand was already reflexively getting the feeling for creation. Waiting for the match start sound like one of those western movies Izuku had shown her.

"IT'S TIME FOR ROUND 3 YALLLLLLLL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE TOURNAMENT IT'S 1-A VERSUS 1-A. ON ONE END WE GOT ONE OF THE FAN FAVOURITES TO WIN THE WHOLE THING HALF OF THE POWER DUO YAOYOROZU MOMO AND ON THE OTHER SIDE WE HAVE THE PINK SKINNED SELF PROCLAIMED ALIEN GIRL ASHIDO MINA WHO CAME IN FIRST WITH TEAM BAKUGO IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND! READY? BEGIN!"

Momo wasted no time in pointing the newly formed gun at her opponent before firing. "Sorry Mina." She was not sorry.

"WHAT IS WITH THAT QUIRK FOLKS IT'S OVER IN AN INSTANT, YAOYOROZU MOMO WINS!"

Izuku just slapped his face back in the stands while everyone looked over at him.

"Dude I don't want to fight that next round, call her off man you can do that right?" Kaminari pleadingly asked Midoriya.

"I mean you still gotta beat that girl with vines for hair pikachu." Jirou spoke first.

"I think I can beat her but I don't know how electricity works on sentient hair."

"Well you better not be the first one of to lose to class 1-B is all i'm saying." The earphone jack user was half teasing half pouting.

"Hey normally i'd make some comment about how i'd like to take you out after this but i'm already taken so sorry." Kaminari winked at the girl.

"How vulgar, I would never subject myself to any activity with a person of the likes of yourself." Shiozaki stuck her hands together in prayer before light began pouring down.

This time it was the entire stadium who was confused by the sudden appearance of light, class 1-B simply showed a face of understanding once they saw the crowd's reaction.

"ROUND 4 EVERABODAYYYYY. ANOTHER SHOWDOWN BETWEEN CLASS 1-A AND 1-B WILL THIS BE ANOTHER BLOWOUT FOR 1-A? ON ONE END WE HAVE THE HUMAN EQUIVALENT OF A LIGHTNING ROD WHO ALSO TOOK FIRST LAST ROUND AND ON THE OTHER WE HAVE IBARA SHIOZAKI ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION STUDENT AND THE ASSASSIN OF CLASS 1-B!"Mic was about to announce the start of the match before being interrupted by the vine girl.

"Excuse me I have simply come to achieve victory in battle, implying I wish to take the life of my opponent is simply offensive to my very being."

"Right... sorry, ANYWAY READY? GO!"

Kaminari wanted to end this in a second and fully charged an indiscriminate shock 1,300,000 volts which he immediately fired, only for the vine girl to erect a barrier at the last second. His senses too dulled by the stupidity his quirk forced onto himself to redirect the bolts around the barrier and strike the girl true. He just held up both hands going 'whey' until the vines girl removed him from the match.

"IBARA SHIOZAKI WINS."

"What is with these classes and every fight being determined nearly instantly eraser?"

"In the hero world a sneak attack or a surprise attack often always win in victory. Imagine someone with a knife snuck up on you unawares quirk or no you wouldn't last long. The same thing is true of speed, if you can attack quickly you're much more likely to win the fight."

Jirou was the one to facepalm this time, stupid jammingwhey.

Her inner disappointment was interrupted by a shrill voice of someone peeking over the barrier between the class 1-A and 1-B viewing areas. "What is this? Is the detestable class 1-A not as good as everyone claimed? You have finally begun to see the true might of class 1-, wait Midoriya i've been wanting to talk to you."

Fuck. "Uh hey Monoma how's it been?"

"I was just surprised to see you here at U.A and in 1-A at that plus you and Yaoyorozu have been crushing it so far. We of the elite class have to stick together." Monoma flashed him a thumbs up. "But since you both are in that class I have no choice but to crush you two at full strength, i'm sure you understand. If only you two had joined us in 1-B but alas it was not meant to be."

Kendo had been standing behind the boy barely restraining herself from knocking him out again but she didn't want to hurt his chances in his fight so she settled for dragging him away before returning herself. "Sorry guys we're not all like that, he's just overly excitable."

Every head present in 1-A turned to Bakugo before a collective response came out. "We know what's that like."

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EXTRAS LOOKING AT?"

Kendo paused. "I see." She went back to her class after that.

"Midoriya I had no idea you came from a wealthy background like Yaoyorozu, is that how you two became acquainted with each other?" Iida questioned the boy.

"Uh well i'm not really all the wealthy I just got sent to a nice school, i'd rather not talk about it." Izuku was not comfortable about where that question could lead in the slightest.

"Wait a minute I knew I recognized you from somewhere Midoriya, you went to Somei didn't you? I also went there but we were in separate classes."

"Yeah, some of my circumstances got me landed there."

So that's where Deku was sent after that day at Aldera, figures the government would bend backwards over for him. Bakugo scoffed at the thought.

"DEAR LISTENERS IT'S TIME FOR ROUND 5 THE CHILD OF ENDEAVOUR AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE FAVOURED TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT TODOROKI SHOUTO VERSUS THE BROTHER OF THE VERY TALENTED INGENIUM IT'S OUR VERY OWN TENYA IIDA! IT'S A BATTLE OF THE RELATIVES OF PRO HEROES EVERYONE!"

The mere mention of his father's name was angering Shouto.

"READY? START?"

"RECIPROBURST!" Iida kicked his engines into full throttle, he knew he had to end this in an instant. Todoroki could permanently spam those glaciers now and there was no way Iida could handle more than one of those. The arena would become clogged and he wouldn't be able to build any speed.

Todoroki apparently had a similar plan in mind but also very different, he unleashed his ice in a massive circle around himself creating a barrier he figured if Iida couldn't reach him then he could simply wait out Iida's reciproburst. He wasn't expecting the other teen to swing his foot hard enough to crack the ice but it still managed to hold.

"Hmm I see, I have lost Todoroki. My recipro will expire shortly. Thank you for the wonderful match." Iida bowed while saying this.

"TENYA IIDA ADMITS DEFEAT. SHOUTO TODOROKI WINS!"

Endeavour was not pleased to see Shouto not using his flames during that match but it was an acceptable performance besides he had more important things to worry about, what that boy had told him was worrying him. He knew the rat was one to not be taken lightly, he should start preparing for the fallout but as he went to grab his phone it started ringing of it's own volition. He froze when he saw the name.

"Hello... Nedzu, this is Endeavour."

"Ah yes Endeavour some interesting information has come to my attention, i'll be honest I wish I had more time to compile what info I do already have but I know that my dear has Izuku spilled the beans so to speak. As it stands I haven't gathered nearly enough evidence and your lawyers are the best for a reason. So instead of formally charging you with what we have at the moment I shall instead settle this privately, although i'd always intended on doing that in the first place. We can't have our dear number 2 imprisoned after all, imagine the shock that would come to hero society." The mouse cackled at that last part.

"What are your terms?" Endeavour was furious.

"Ah well you see that's the thing we had detective Tsukauchi listen in on our little meeting with your son Shouto and every little thing he said came up as a truth. As it stands we could charge you for Abuse, Manslaughter, Neglect, and 3rd Degree Murder among other things. I'm sure you understand how bad that would be for you? Well as it stands my terms will be simple, you will trouble the family you have ruined no longer, you will financially support them for the rest of your days, you will never find yourself within 30 ft of any of them and you will never attempt anything like this with any other family. Do you understand? Break any of these and I will gladly break you."

Endeavour could hear the grin that damned mouse was probably spouting right now. "...Understood."

"Oh and one last thing, you will get your wife cleared of mental insanity. We know you've been buying off the doctors to keep her locked up there."

Grrrrrrr "Fine rat, anything else?"

"Hmm well not at the moment but if it comes up you'll be the first to know, have a good day number 2."

Endeavour heard the phone call end, honestly that was better than he expected, he could live with those terms. They never mattered anyway and his perfect creation already existed after all.

Round 6 and 7 passed quickly, Monoma had apparently been given some of Shiozaki's hair which he used to copy her quirk and throw her from the ring. While all it took from Bakugo was a few stun grenade blasts to force Jirou to surrender as her hyper hearing was causing her ears to bleed. Honestly round 1 of this tournament had been one of the biggest one sided stompings Izuku had ever seen and he would be continuing that trend if not for the fact that Mei and him hadn't already made that deal.

"IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL MATCH OF THE FIRST ROUND, ARE YOU ALL READY? THE ONLY NON HERO COURSE STUDENT TO ADVANCE TO THE TOURNAMENT STAGE, MASTER OF INVENTIONS AND RECOMMENDED INTO THE SUPPORT COURSE HATSUME MEI VERSUS THE ONLY STUDENT IN HISTORY TO EVER BE RECOMMENDED BY ALL MIGHT AND PRINCIPAL NEDZU SIMULTANEOUSLY, HE'S BEEN LITERALLY BLOWING THE COMPETITION AWAY IZUKU MIDORIYA."

Could he not have left that part out. I already have enough eyes trained on me not to mention this level of publicity was frustrating to say the least plus this match was gonna suck to watch.

He saw Mei grinning at him. "Izuku I feel like your introduction was a bit better than mine if i'm being honest."

"Nah you're just imagining it Mei, though I would appreciate it if you made your introductions quickly. After that I don't think i'm allowed to hold back." Not his fault he won the genetic lottery after all.

"READY? FIGHT!"

What ensued was somehow worse than every other previous match combined. Izuku kept 'accidentally' letting Mei's gear capture him to show off just how talented she was but to everyone else not on the stage this was just a 15 minute promo trailer for some support girl against someone who was clearly holding back. When the girl in question finally just walked off the stage it left a dazed Present Mic to announce the winner.

"Eraser that doesn't count as him getting top ten. Izuku Midoriya wins. Let's just be happy it's over folks." Mic sighed as he got off the mic.

"A bet is a bet Mic also Midoriya your getting detention for that." That statement at least brought out some laughter from the crowd.

Izuku was just cursing internally, he didn't want even more detention. Ah well at least he helped Mei out.

Chapter Text

"HEYA LISTENERS THE SECOND ROUND WILL BE UP AFTER A 10 MINUTE DELAY. SO IF YOU NEED A BATHROOM BREAK NOW'S THE TIME!" He turned to his fellow teacher. "Speaking of which i'll be right back Eraser."

Aizawa shrugged.

All of 1-A was sitting at their viewing section simply waiting out the ten minutes. Most of the conversation was about how the people who advanced would be doing.

Shinsou had a plan to beat Kirishima but he didn't want to do it as he'd feel kinda bad but he was training to an underground hero, does he need morals? No he didn't murder, subterfuge, assassinations, sneak attacks, all of them were valid strategies he needed to abuse. Taking advantage of his opponent's personality is the same thing, his quirk made it so he had to be tricky.

Momo knew she probably wouldn't be able to tranq her next opponent and with her vine like hair she would likely need to resort to fire. Momo definitely could but he was thinking that she might be going a bit too far, she didn't want to maim the girl on accident. One for All was out of the question, the strength of Shiozaki's hair was stronger than the current percentage she has access too. Fire it is.

Todoroki wasn't even concerned with his opponent. He knew who would be standing apart from him in the final round, he knew his opponent was handicapped. He could actually beat Midoriya for the first time but beating him when he's below half his total power felt a tad sour in his mouth. He wasn't like Bakugo a mass of pride and angst but he did want to fight his opponent at their best, especially since the person in question forced his best out.

Bakugo was sitting back defeated. He really wasn't into it anymore, he couldn't beat icyhot, hell he probably couldn't beat shitty hair when he has that speed quirk, so how the fuck was he going to beat deku. He has at least 5 maybe 6 quirks he can use plus the fucker is mostly immune to fire which is half of his main quirk and his secondary one is completely useless. His only hope is to knock him out of the ring with the force of an explosion but then he can just use that stupid air cannon quirk to fire himself back in. Yeah he's fucked.

Midoriya saw the look on Bakugo and honestly he was kinda startled. He had never seen bakugo this dejected before, the look of defeat in his eyes was something that wasn't supposed to be on his face. Bakugo was supposed to be confident in himself at all times. If he tried to help he'd just get yelled at for pity again, he's just gonna let the boy work it out on his own.

Kirishima felt kinda bad about his next opponent, his opponent was basically quirkless since he knew about Shinsou's quirk. Beating up a quirkless person wasn't very manly, let's just push him out with hardening. He shouldn't be able to hurt me anyway.

Similar thoughts were going through the two remaining minds of the students of 1-B

"Please everyone let me borrow a strand of your hair, Kamakiri can cut it. We can't lose to 1-A and now i'm stuck fighting one of their strongest students." Monoma was pleading with his class to help him out.

Kendo was holding her head in thought. "Yeah guys we need every advantage we can get, Kamakiri do it. Everyone else make a braid of your hair so he can easily swap between them. Monoma wrap them around your arms, it'll look weird but it should help you out."

Monoma was staring at Kendo like she was a goddess. "I shall not let you all down, I swear on the good name of class 1-B."

Shiozaki knew her opponent was not to be taken lightly. Yaoyorozu was incredibly strong she was going to need to be smart if she wanted to win this. The amount of hair she can generate while extensive is limited, if her opponent does what Shiozaki thinks she's going to do she does not want to fight an extended battle.

"Were back from out break listeners. ARE YOU READDYYYYYYY?"

The crowd roared back at mic.

"Now that's the energy I like to hear. Can our next two contestants report to the arena."

Shinsou exited the tunnel seeing Midnight on his left and Kirishima staring him down. Man Kirishima was going to be mad at him after this if his plan works.

"MATCH ONE OF ROUND TWO HIS BARK IS AS BAD AS HIS BITE SHINSOU HITOSHI VERSUS THE MAN WHO CAN STOP BULLETS WITH HIS ABS EJIRO KIRISHIMA! READY? GO!"

"Hey Kirishima, we both know your going to win this if we fight and you use your quirks. I won't lie I know you like being manly and honor and all that. Would you consider us fighting quirkless, man to man? If not i'll save us the trouble and walk out."

Kirishima being the noble person he always was obviously wouldn't hesitate. "Dude of course that's s-"

God Shinsou felt like he just kicked a puppy. "Turn around and walk out the arena."

"JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS MATCH SHINSOU'S OPPONENT JUST WALKS OUT OF THE ARENA, SHINSOU HITOSHI WINS BY RINGOUT!"

Kirishima regained his consciousness outside of the arena, ... he lost didn't he. "Ha Shinsou you got me. That was a good trick. I can't even be mad."

Shinsou was wincing at that. "I'm sorry Kirishima I could only win like this, plus I guess it could also be a lesson. Villains will lie to you, your a good person Kirishima but you can't trust everyone explicitly."

The spiky haired teen looked down. "Yeah, your right it wasn't a manly victory but it was a victory and villains will always go for the win. I won't hold this against you Shinsou, best of luck dude." Kirishima gave a sad smile to the other boy.

Monoma was freaking out. "I thought you said that quirk had some weakness Rin? He just lost instantly like you did, I can't beat that, Shiozaki can't beat that."

Kendo took this opportunity to neck chop Monoma. "We don't need you scaring her anymore Monoma. Does anyone have any idea how that quirk works? We need to stay calm and strategize."

Tokage wasn't the smartest person in her class for no reason. "Ya know I think I have an idea. That purple haired kid started both my fight and his fight by talking. I remember everything until I responded and that spiky haired guy didn't leave the arena until he spoke. The sports festival is being recorded someone pull up the stream we can further fact check if we look at that."

Yanagi pulled her phone out before rewinding the stream. "Yes, he spoke before his eyes glazed over."

The class president finally figured out. "It's talking, don't talk to him and he can't mind control you. Alright we have a plan now, don't talk at all Shiozaki if you reach him and if you still get mind controlled we'll find a new plan for Monoma if he gets that far."

The next round began as per usual Momo was walking herself towards the arena only slightly more no make that incredibly more nervous than she was before. This match was going to be do or die, Shiozaki was very strong. As she started walking up the steps her opponent came into view. "I wish you the best of luck Shiozaki." Momo bowed toward her opponent.

"You as well Yaoyorozu, let us truly have a fight worthy of our lord's grace."

"It's 1-A versus 1-B. In one corner we have the woman who has more options than a choose your own adventure book Yaoyorozu Momo versus the angelic figure of 1-B Ibara Shiozaki. READY? START!"

Momo charges up her legs to 8% to dodge the incoming vines that Shiozaki was launching at her. She needed to buy enough time to create what she needed but moving One for All between body parts takes too much time and she needs the mobility currently so instead she creates a stun grenade and hurls it at the vine haired girl.

Shiozaki saw the projectile being flung towards her and knew whatever it was it would be a bad thing to let it near her so pulls back her attack and surrounds the object with her vines a few seconds later she hears the explosion from inside the makeshift ball of her hair. Thankfully it didn't catch fire so maybe her opponent wouldn't be ruthless as to start setting her on fire. Returning her vision to her opponent she internally froze, ...oh.

Momo held the object in her hands she wondered if breaking the geneva convention in a high school tournament would be considered going too far. Oh well Bakugo's here and he can detonate people at will as long as I don't actually shoot her this should be fine. "Shiozaki I'll give you a chance to give up here, I don't want to have to do this but I will. This is the XL18 Flamethrower and it can send flames at ranges of over 100 feet. I won't use this on you after all but your hair is fair game."

Midnight and the entire crowd just froze.

"IS THAT A FREAKING FLAMETHROWER ERASER?" Mic almost spat the words out.

Aizawa wanted to slam his head on the desk, he really needed to make sure that problem child stopped rubbing off on this poor girl. "I guess that's plus ultra just in the complete wrong direction."

Shiozaki was weighing the decisions in her head, giving up would be awful but if her burnt off it would take a week for it regrow. "Sorry Yaoyorozu but It won't be that easy for you." She threw her hair out at her opponent only to watch as jets of flame and napalm completely burn them away and only ashes remain. Maybe I can get her but pushing my vines through the floor so she buries her hair and beings to propel it through the ground as quickly as she can but this won't be a quick victory.

Momo saw her opponent and smirked, she fell for it, with her hair in the ground she's completely defenseless now. Momo sticks her right behind her and creates her favourite weapon. "You fought well Shiozaki!" She pushes her hand forward and fired, it only took seconds before Shiozaki hit the floor.

"SHE'S DONE IT AGAIN FOLKS YAOYOROZU MOMO WINS BY KNOCKOUT. CAN ANYTHING STAND UP TO THIS GIRL AND HER CREATION QUIRK?!"

Momo was blushing at the volumes the crowd were cheering for her. It took her a few seconds but she found her favourite green haired teen cheering for her as well. She knew she was making the splash All Might wanted. She's almost guaranteed to reach the finals now, after all there's no way she will fall for Shinsou's quirk. She doesn't like putting other people down but in a fight versus a quirkless person it's about 99.9% in her favour.

Monoma was cursing up a storm back in the viewing section. "Why does 1-A have so many broken quirks? She built a fucking flamethrower for christ's sake. I'm pretty sure that's gotta violate some rule or something."

Kendo just sighed. "I mean Todoroki can just create fire from his hands so that's probably not illegal plus Midnight would've stopped the match if it was. Monoma when you fight her use Yanagi's braid, you can steal her weapons and use them against her, that's probably your best bet if you end up fighting her."

Monoma did a 180. "Of course! Your not our class rep for no reason. I will defeat 1-A. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Kendo did her best to resist knocking the boy out before his match.

Shouto Todoroki was staring down the blonde boy from earlier that openly berated their entire class. He reminded him of Bakugo in a way, a mass of pride that will stand for nothing less than absolute victory. However Bakugo was broken and now it's time for Shouto to break this boy.

Monoma was running through which quirk of his classmates would help here. Black will be pretty useful since he can hide in the shadows made by his opponents flames and ice, mushroom can target his opponent regardless of how they hide, and steel can protect him at least for a bit from both of his opponents quirks. Vines is pretty useless here, lizard tail splitter will let him dodge his opponents ice opening which he has done every match. Monoma was currently carrying the entire weight of 1-B there was no way he was going to let them down. His class had given him a plan and he was going to follow it.

"It's the second to last fight of the quarter finals and it's one to watch folks. We have the son of the number 2 hero himself sporting ice and fire as his weapon and fightings his game Shouto Todoroki! On the other side of the ring we have the copy quirk user himself whose quirk could he possibly have, nobody knows folks it's Monoma Neito! READY? FIGHT!"

Todoroki dropped the largest glacier he was capable of hoping to end this fight quickly, only to see his opponent split themselves into difference pieces. This was not how he saw this going but he quickly adapted changing to his fire and trying to burn all the pieces... only for them to suddenly gather and teleport somewhere else. How many quirks could his opponent copy? He decided to take the safe option and wall himself up, no reason to left a surprise attack hurt him after all. That should have worked but then his feet suddenly started melting into the floor before the ground resolidified effectively trapping him.

Monoma was cackling internally no foe could withstand the entire power of all of class 1-B, he just had to keep up the pressure and he had this. His opponent should be trapped at this point now it's time to pummel them. He switched to Fukidashi's quirk and created the word slam, he brought a terrible force upon Todoroki's ice shield. Now time for the final blow, he switched to mushroom using the humidity change caused by his opponent's ice he quickly spread as many shrooms as he could. All he needed was a few of those shrooms to reach his opponent, once he got his opponent's throat the match was over.

Todoroki felt the blow to his structure but unable to dodge as his feet were still stuck in the floor. He kept trying to produce more fire hoping to melt the words that fell from the sky, seriously what was this quirk. It felt like he was fighting Yaoyorozu, it felt like his opponent could do whatever they wanted, he had already used at least 5 different quirks. No wait a minute this was like fighting Midoriya, someone with too many quirks to count. He had never once won against that but if he could win against this he could defeat Midoriya. In his haste he decided to freeze everything around himself even the ground, he managed to free himself from the frozen ground by melting himself out but it was at that moment Todoroki realized he was choking. Why couldn't he breathe his throat felt clogged and he was choking.

"Ah you see member of class 1-A you face the combined strength of 1-B. You will never win this match, with the power of all my classmates I will defeat you. You will begin suffocating soon, I can stop your pain now if you want." Monoma began cackling.

Todoroki was flailing, his breath was failing him. He had no idea what his opponent had done to mess him up this much. He fired off another ice blast only to see his opponent split themselves again. He couldn't breathe this was it wasnt it. He collapsed upon the floor and passed out.

"I can't even describe how many quirks were just used in that fight folks. Monoma Neito wins by knockout! The resident copy quirk user wins!"

Kan was so proud of his student, he really won with the powers of all of 1-B combined. He now had someone who could win this festival and to be honest he was frankly angry at how much 1-A had been dominating. Seeing his student defeat one of the strongest of 1-A was cathartic maybe he wasn't a useless teacher after all.
