Alrain: The next few chapters will be Izuku meeting some other of his future classmates and helping them with developing their skills, I will also focus a bit more on developing the relationships that Izuku will build up with the girls that will fall in love with him and I still don't like Mineta.

Park.

Izuku was waiting for Denki who mailed him that he wanted to train further with him, Izuku didn't mind as usual since he enjoyed helping others and that was something he wanted to do making them stronger and make sure they don't doubt their selves.

"Yo! Izuku!" shouted Denki walking towards him with a boy with spiky red hair walking next to him. "Denki, you're here and whois your friend?" replied Izuku who saw that the boy was friendly despite his sharp teeth and spiky red hair and he reminded him of the crimson riot.

"Is your friend the crimson riot son." joked Izuku making Denki laugh while Kirishima blushed a bit, he really looked a bit like his idol. "So what's your name, crimson riot jr." teased Izuku making Kirishima blush a bit brighter.

"His name is Kirishima Eijirou, and he is aiming to become the next crimson riot." introduced Denki to Izuku who nodded and offered him a friendly handshake which he accepted. "I wanted to ask if you don't mind helping him, and your advice really helped, yesterday I accidentally cut myself and used that accelerate healing and it worked!" said Denki cheerfully that he had a healing factor.

"So this is your friend who helped you to get a healing factor? That is neat!" said Kirishima who was amazed when he saw Denki heal himself instantly when he cut his finger accidentally.

Izuku merely chuckled and he appreciated the compliment but was humble about it. "Yeah that was me, I don't mind helping you but what is your quirk?" asked Izuku who couldn't help if he didn't know what the quirk was.

"I can harden my skin that it can withstand very damaging attacks, it isn't flashy as you think though," answered Kirishima but to his surprise, Izuku chuckled a bit. "Skin hardening, huh? That is a handy quirk, but it doesn't have many possibilities, but I will do my best, so tell me a bit about the weaknesses of your quirk."

Kirishima felt a bit sad that his quirk didn't have many possibilities but he smiled when Izuku said that he still wanted to help him. "Well, I can only harden my skin for a certain amount of time and how much damage I receive."

"And how hard is your skin when you harden it," asked Izuku making Kirishima confused for a bit. "How hard is your skin? Like the substance stone or something harder than stone." this caught him off guard since he never knew how hard his skin was, Denki had his weaknesses solved in a few minutes and got something extra from it and his friend also told him that Izuku was sharp at catching things that normally others wouldn't see.

"I-I actually don't know that," replied Kirishima.

"Well then we need to do a few things that can help you become way better, we first need to find out how hard your skin is, take a look at your hero costume and see how the shape of your body is," said Izuku standing up. "Hardening in most comics depend on your stamina and the whole body if you don't train carefully than you might cause damage to yourself and I want to know if you lose any mobility."

"M-Mobility?"

"Yes, do you lose any speed when you activate your quirk? Are you becoming slow when you use it and does it restrict some of your movements?" Kirishima shook his head that he never felt slow when he did that.

"Then we are going to work on that right now!" said Izuku as training began.

Next few hours.

The training was a bit hellish for Kirishima and Denki, Izuku had brought them to a fitness club where he used his membership and ordered them to train their bodies, he had them run on the hills up and down with weights wrapped around their wrists, waist, and legs to increase stamina, he also went to a power plant and asked if they could use a voltage meter to see how much lightning Denki could discharge before he becomes immobile, the people agreed as they got nothing to lose and free electricity.

Then he went to train them in martial arts, Kirishima mostly and made him train in several martial arts and also teaching not to only block attacks but also direct an attack into another direction or dodge, he also tested his hardness and brought several items to test it like concrete, boulders, and metal and all of them broke in contact and Izuku assumed that his hardness was still out of the question since he didn't have any other items harden than titanium which also broke.

"HUAH!" shouted Kirishima swinging a hardened punch at the Emerald wall that Izuku made for him to train and it didn't even crack! Kirishima was thankful for the training, his body felt much lighter when he got his stamina replenished and felt that he got way stronger now, he could hold his hardening for an extra few hours before becoming a bit tired, he also hardened his fingertips into sharp talons allowing him to have a new kind of attack.

Denki was also tired but thankful nonetheless and was happy to know that the amount of electricity he could discharge was able to be increased, they went again to the power plant to see if it increased and it did! He could discharge a few more volts even if it was small it was better then nothing and was reassured that Izuku also trained hard and achieved little.

"That's enough, keep training like this for a while with your weights on, and when you enter the exams take them off," ordered Izuku to his 2 best friends, he and Kirishima went perfectly since he was a humble person that didn't boast about his quirk and sees it as normal and he also discovered that he liked to judge things by saying manly or unmanly and he likes meat when he took them for a snack, he really loved turkey jerky.

Kirishima and Denki let their selves fall down on the ground tired of the training. "Damn, Izuku, you don't pull any punches," commented Denki who was panting a bit, who knew that Izuku's training regime made a simple day a week worth of training? He did get some muscle that was visible and it was a bit beyond the beginner state.

"This training paid well off, now I have more options in my arsenal," said Kirishima who was excited to do this again since his training regime looked poor in comparison with Izuku's which was harsh and hard to do, something that he wanted! A real training regime that made him stronger and his quirk way handier.

"Your hardening ability is quite rare Kirishima, you don't have any restrictions in your movement or become a bit heavier, something like that is rare and the only thing we need to work on is your stamina since hardening is mostly based on stamina, but you need to have a bit more confidence in yourself," said Izuku handing them both a bottle of water which they gratefully accepted and downed half of it in one gulp. "I'm impressed how far you guys will go to get stronger, what is your motivation?"

"I want to become a strong hero, like the crimson riot! I want to be powerful as any hero and be useful!" replied Kirishima making Izuku chuckle again that Kirishima didn't think highly of himself and was willing to help others.

"I want to be cool-looking and stop having other people look down on me," said Denki a bit sad knowing how many children teased him for being so weird looking after he once discharged too much electricity.

"I see, well both of you need to have more confidence, Denki can you maybe form particles in your hands?" asked Izuku which was also part of training, Denki tried out and saw that he could form a small object which was an eraser. "You can manipulate the electricity around you and use it to create particles and form in into objects maybe you should include those in your devices and include a car battery that replenishes your electricity once you used too much, then you can get back into action, but I recommend something else than that."

"And that is?" asked Denki who wrote it down on a notepad.

"You should hold back a bit of electricity in your head when you use all your electricity, it allows you to keep mobile instead of airheaded." Denki quickly wrote it down, he still needed to practice how to shoot even without those devices he would maybe get. "And use electricity to enhance your speed, this is physically possible but use a small amount since it is dangerous to do it even if you have a healing factor you still don't have complete mastery over it and enhance your attacks with electricity."

Denki nodded and wrote it down not wanting to forget the useful info he got from his new friend, unlike others, besides Kirishima, he didn't make fun of him when he was in his goofy state and just waited until it was done. "And some kevlar or smooth thing titanium in your clothing making it a surprise of your defense and maybe some gloves."

"And what should I do with my equipment?" asked Kirishima excited what kind of upgrades he would get suggested by his friend and mentor.

Izuku thought about and answered him. "Sturdy and comfortable clothing and belt with medical pills or something like that once you strain your body or if you're out of stamina, and some armor pieces in places where your speed isn't decreased, and you also need to work on your speed of course and a device that measures your blood pressure to keep check if your nearing your limit and that only you can hear it."

Kirishima nodded and also wrote everything down on a notepad he somehow got out of nowhere, the device that would warn him when he nears his limit was very useful and let him know how careful he needs to be in battle. and some armor patches in places that don't slow him down didn't hurt either allowing him to spare his stamina to focus on his uncovered parts of his body.

"We keep up with this training and I have already nothing to do other than physical training and mental training," said Izuku making them confused why he wasn't going to explore his quirks abilities. "I already know what my quirk is capable of so I just need to make sure that I don't slack off," said Izuku before they could question him.

"Can you show us a bit of your power?" they asked both at the same time.

Izuku was not sure about this but if he refused that would mean hurting their friendship so why not? Kirishima and Denki were good people and friends. He raised his hands and suddenly the Emerald wall that was still there began to slowly descend into the air and was floating and Izuku slowly dismissed the emeralds into tiny beautiful sparks.

It was also a legend that Emerald unlocks the undiscovered mind and has physic abilities, it was a small amount of power that Izuku showed them, ever since the death of his family he trained to become the strongest to protect the family he has left and won't forgive anyone who will harm his mother, he was a healer but he was able to heal himself a bit, after all the Emerald also represents harmony and mentality.

And that fitted Izuku just fine.

Library.

Just because he knew everything about emeralds doesn't mean he doesn't research, but he was now researching for Kirishima and Denki who both wanted to be acknowledged by the people and they were humble about their selves, they deserved it and one more thing, he didn't hate Katsuki at all despite what he did on the last day of school, it was the best way to teach him, Izuku was a non-violent person but Katsuki was a type of person that wasn't easy to convince with words alone.

So he needed to do it the hard way despite that he didn't like it but it was the only option to ensure that Katsuki wouldn't end up getting in trouble at all, Izuku never hated him not even after all the things Katsuki tried to do to him and even all those horrible things the other children his age whispered about him.

Being in Balance.

A book that explained everything about being in balance, not to drive into the darkness and give into hatred and moving on when you lose someone important, that was a time of Izuku where he trained for the purpose of hunting down the person that killed his dad Hiashi and little sister Kazuki, he was training like crazy and was filled with hatred and wanted nothing but to kill the person responsible, he ignored everything else and when darkness almost consumed him, there was someone who he never expected to help him.

"Interesting book your reading." said a voice behind Izuku making him turn around to see a boy with a crow head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, my name is Tokoyami Fumikage."

Izuku looked a bit surprised, he wasn't startled at all, he couldn't get scared anymore seeing the deaths of his family in front of his eyes made him immune to anything that would scare him. "Izuku, Midoriya Izuku is my name and it's nice to meet you Fumikage-san," replied Izuku with a small smile the surprised look on Tokoyami was not visible but Izuku saw it.

Again another few hours later.

And another surprise was that Tokoyami was also going to attend the exams of UA, his quirk was rather interesting and with that Izuku was explained that Tokoyami had a spirit in the form of a crow inside him that gets stronger when there is more darkness but harder to control and he called it Dark Shadow, it's personality also depends on how much darkness there is.

If there is much darkness Dark Shadow will become stubborn and destructive.

When there is not much darkness Dark Shadow will be less hard to control and more cooperative.

But his control over Dark Shadow also relied on himself, in other words, it was also depending if Tokoyami got angry or sad, making it way more wild and powerful but then Dark Shadow will control him instead.

"If you want more control then I suggest mental training and meditation, but some physical training won't hurt too," suggested Izuku to Tokoyami who nodded seeing the benefits of doing that, he needed the physical training too if the enemy came too close and his mental control would also be very handy.

"Is there something else you suggest me to do?" asked Tokoyami who wanted more advice from Izuku who was very friendly to help him.

Izuku thought about it again and looked at Tokoyami for a few moments and finally spoke. "Martial arts you should learn, that will be very helpful for your Dark Shadow and building up a good friendship is also a good thing, and can you let me see your hero outfit?" Tokoyami nodded and showed him his design of his hero costume, a dark cloak that surrounded his whole body with black boots.

"Hm, this is a good design allowing you to have full mobility and allowing Dark Shadow to gather darkness when it is without, but you lack a bit of defense in your costume like some kevlar or light-weight titanium, and maybe a small glider build in it."

"A glider?" asked Tokoyami surprised.

"Yeah to fly when you come near cliffs or getting cornered somewhere high," replied Izuku. "And training Dark Shadow to build up a resistance against the light so he functions longer in battle." another good advice from Izuku again. Tokoyami nodded and began to think about physical training and he could see that Izuku had ripped off muscles underneath his clothing thanks to having sharp eyes. "One of the greatest weaknesses of quirks is relying on them too much that you miss seeing important points that can get you stronger."

Izuku's watch began beeping signaling it was time to go home and eat dinner, he said to Tokoyami goodbye and if he wants to train with him that they meet up at the park and that there were other friends he trained with.

Shopping center.

Why you ask that Izuku is in the shopping center because the shortest way home was through the shopping center and it also gave him extra time like a half an hour time! That fast was the shortest way to home so he decided to buy some things he might need for the training, he had a lot of money since he did some modeling job and many other jobs, but he never really spend his money for anything but now he could.

So he bought some weights, training gear, sleeping masks, throwing balls, a timer, a smoke machine and a final touch he also bought something that could help them improve even further by their selves. Izuku liked to help them but he didn't want them to rely only on him, they needed to make their own attacks and find their own fighting style but they could still ask for his help.

"I think this is enough," said Izuku to himself who would train them for a few months and train along them, but once the exams they needed to be on their own for a small time before they could ask him what they should do next since that would mean they relied on him too much.

Right before Izuku wanted to leave he heard screaming and looked above and saw debris raining down towards him but the weird thing was that the debris was formed into perfect spikes, he quickly raised his hands and created a dome over himself to protect him and the other people around him, the debris crushed upon impact protecting the people from getting harmed while they screamed in fear.

"Don't let him get away!" shouted a man wearing a hero costume also attracting the attention of Izuku who looked to see a blur, a normal eye wouldn't be able to catch the blur and identify what it was but Izuku saw what the person was, he wore a bird-like mask around his mouth and had black hair, but he seemed to be stealing money and had no ill feelings as Izuku saw the maniacal grin.

Izuku created a katana of emeralds and prepared to attack. "Sacred Omnislash!" shouted Izuku aiming his attack at the villain, he raised his sword which was glowing and sliced a cross-shaped arc of light towards the villain at high speed.

The villain looked back when he noticed that the place around him was getting a bit too flashy and turned around to see a cross-shaped slash heading towards him and smirked and held out his hand to break it only to know when it came in contact with his hand that the attack didn't dissolve at all but continued to push forward and throw him harshly into a wall, upon impact the wall cracked while damaging him greatly.

"GUAH!" gasped the villain in pain and spat out some saliva while thinking who this person could be that made an attack that was able to withstand his quirk, he caught a glimpse of Izuku who was mostly covered in light not being able to see him completely, he wanted to kill him! How dare he attack him and wound him! He wanted to stand up but the attack was so powerful it didn't allow him to stand without getting dizzy.

A black mist appeared and surrounded him before another cross-shaped arc hit him, Kurogiri groaned in pain as he felt the attack instead of having it negated. "Overhaul! What is this attack!? Even I can feel it!" gritted Kurogiri in pain as the light made him dizzy.

"I don't know! But I know that it is a kid with white and neon green hair! Retreat! I can't move my body, I'm dizzy after that attack hit me!" said Overhaul while gritting his teeth that he has been beaten in a simple attack. Kurogiri nodded and teleported them away while the money was left behind, the heroes arrived and didn't find him anywhere only the stolen money and a cross-shaped slash mark on the wall.

Izuku's POV.

Izuku didn't know why but he felt that the villain was way more dangerous, leagues above the slime villain he once fought, he saw that he was still conscious after he got hit by his 'Sacred Omnislash that was supposed to paralyze villains.

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling we will meet each other again and it will not be pleasant for both of us." said Izuku while still looking at wall while not knowing that he was right that they would meet again.

I watched further in the manga and I really love Eri! She's just so cute! I will be explaining Izuku's attacks on how they work and give Denki, Kirishima and Tokoyami attacks that they develop on their own.
