"You can become a hero." Those words were given to me by the greatest hero to have ever existed. However, what I was about to inherit; how I was to become a hero was far beyond my imagination.

4. Chapter 4

AN: Chapter 4 … I can already tell this is going to be one doozy of a chapter to write. If I can be completely honest with you, I fear of submitting this one the most.

Chapter 4

"…" Talking

Italics=Thinking/flashback

All Might buff mode talking!

-Izuku's POV-

Here I am, in this crowd of people that I'm going to inevitably compete with. From left to right, perspective heroes, fighting for their right to enter the prestigious school that is U.A. An initiation of sorts to take the creme de la crop of everyone that sets their sight on becoming the next number 1 hero. Makes sense since U.A. was the school that taught the current number1 hero All Might, it's definitely going to garner attention and prestige over the public eye. Thousands of students sign up and transfer to U.A. in hopes of being somebody of great importance however out of those thousands of people, only a handful of students actually succeed due to the harsh nature of the entrance exam.

The rules have already been set and explained by none other than Present Mic, a pro hero that teaches at U.A. The gist of this exam is a point system where there's potential enemies waiting for us inside a selected area. We take out those enemies; the tougher the enemy, the more points it's worth. Only 10 minutes in the clock, the ones with the most points wins. Pretty simple and standard compared to the 10 months of hell I just went through. Thinking back on it, I'm not even sure I'm afraid of the 0-point monster of an enemy that everyone was told to avoid.

No … definitely not. Compared to my various tutors and teachers during my 10 months of hell, I can safely say those who have trained me are more deserving of the title of something to be feared. I shudder with each memory wanting nothing more than to forget those days and put it behind me but I have to admit, they were very thorough with their training.

I feel for my pockets and smile that I have everything that I needed on my person. In my left pocket, a container filled with large pills and on my right pocket, a ring. On my back, my "secret weapon."

"ARE YOU READY!" Came the booming voice that's hosting this event, Present Mic.

I popped two pills in my mouth, waiting for the pills to take effect.

"GO!" and before anyone realized, I blew past pretty much everybody in a burst of speed. I smiled as my Leon tailored boots didn't melt from my dying will flames. With these boots, I am granted the ability of flight, a technique taught to me by second trainer, Mr. Ryhohei. I smile at the memory.

But boy was my starting line a bit of a rough one. I thought as I remembered my encounter with Mr. Sawada after I was dropped off.

-Flashback 10 months prior-

"So, where should we begin?" I took a seat in front of Mr. Sawada as the both of us got comfortable.

"Well … you said there was a condition I have to fulfill. How about we start there?" I asked.

"Straight to the point huh. Very well then, but before I start, you must promise that what I'm about to say will not leave this room. I'm counting on you to keep a very big secret of mine. Can you do that for me?" Tsuna asked. That statement made me feel a little uncomfortable, like he was about to reveal the secrets of the world to me that only a few people are allowed to know. I agreed I would keep his secret … whatever it was.

"I'm sure you've heard the unsavory rumors that's been spreading around concerning my company, Vongola. While most of these statements have been proven false, each and every one of them had some basis and legs to stand on." Tsuna said.

"What do you mean?" I wasn't sure I was going to like what I was about to hear.

"There's a reason why me and friends/guardians aren't celebrated as heroes Izuku. Before I inherited Vongola, Vongola as a whole had strong ties to the mafia world … no, Vongola was pretty much the Kingpin of the underworld."

"… What?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Based on what he said … that would mean. I quickly stand on my feet and take a few steps away from the man in front of me.

"You're … you're a Mafia Don, a mob boss." I was barely able to speak, my breathing becoming more erratic as fear started to seep into the depths of my soul. The world around me started to get dark, it seems I was getting tunnel vision. As soon as it started, it stopped as I felt a hand grab my own and a strong sense of calmness overtook me; a familiar sensation. I look up to see Mr. Sawada.

"Better?" he asked me with concern, his eyes still holding a sense of warmth and ease. Very unfitting of what he's supposed to be but I respond his question with a slight nod. He released my hand but the sensation of calmness hasn't quite left me yet. It was then Tsuna started to chuckle a little bit remembering his own memories when he was first told his lineage.

"Yeah … I didn't respond that well when I was told that I was going to inherit Vongola and become its next boss. Now that I think about it, I think I was more in disbelief than afraid." Tsuna said while cupping his chin.

Well due to the circumstances, I was told by a baby spartan tutor so … yeah I was definitely in state of disbelief rather than fear. It didn't take long to change that with Reborn teaching me the ropes. Tsuna thought as he started to break in cold sweat at the memory.

"You're not going to kill me, are you?"

"Why would I do that?" Tsuna asked as he was brought back from his stupor.

"Well … because … because …" I didn't have an answer for him.

"Let me makes this clear Midoriya, I said that Vongola WAS tied to the mafia world. Now that I'm in charge, I left the mafia world altogether." Tsuna said.

"So ... no one's going to be hurting anybody." I attentively asked.

"No one's going to hurt anybody." He assured me and I breathe a sigh of relief.

"I didn't bring this up to scare you Midoriya, I brought this up because I want to be completely honest with you. What we are, what we do, and what I want from you." Tsuna said with complete seriousness in proper business-like fashion. It was at that point he started to go more into detail of Vongola's history and what they originally represented. It was until those with corrupted and greedy minds tainted what Vongola stood for. It was Tsuna that brought it back for its original intended purpose, a preserver of peace; one that protects the people. The reason Tsuna and his guardians aren't celebrated as heroes was the fact that even though they're no longer part of the mafia, the still do their business in the shadows, away from the public eye. They don't seek anything more than their ultimate goal, a world of peace. However, Tsuna stated that they're no Robin hoods. He along with his guardians are willing to use extreme force if it meant protecting what mattered to them. They're more vigilantes than anything else; maybe even anti-heroes.

Having processed everything he just told me, I wasn't sure what to feel or how I feel about Vongola. I needed a distraction, something else to think about. Didn't take very long for my mind to wander about the person I'm always thinking about, All Might. It was then I started building connections.

"Does All Might know about this … who you are, what you do? Is he … part of your business?" I'm not sure how I would feel if someone like All Might was part of the mafia. It was then I started to mentally slap myself, not only at that ridiculous notion, but Mr. Sawada just told me, he's not part of the mafia anymore, so that would be a moot point; he answered my question anyway.

"Yeah … he does know. As I said, I may have left the mafia world, but that doesn't mean I played no part in it during my first few years as the boss. We laugh about it now but once Toshi found out about my secret identity, we ultimately fought each other from dawn to dusk. He was very adamant about bringing me to justice but after I managed to clear the air with him, he stopped attacking me. Toshi is ridiculously strong but I can run/fly circles around him. Evading his attacks wasn't much of an issue for me." Tsuna said taking his seat again before pouring himself a cup of tea. He offered me some but I politely declined.

"So, it's true that you're every bit as strong as All Might." I asked with excitement.

"Not sure about strength but I'm definitely more agile than he is. Each of us have our own strengths and weakness concerning our powers so it's hard to say which one of us is the stronger person. I never beaten him but at the same time he's never beaten me." Tsuna said.

"Well … All Might seems to trust you so I don't think I should have any reason to distrust you."

Not yet, anyway. I thought to myself.

"That expression on your face says otherwise but that's alright, it's good to know that you're not gullible or naive. You're going to have to look at things more critically if you want to survive in this world." Tsuna said and I started sputtering like a fish

How did he know? I wondered to myself and as if he read my mind, he answered my question.

"Intuition." Tsuna said as he took a sip of his tea.

"So, back to the original question? What's your condition for training me?" I asked.

"Something tells me you already know." Tsuna said, savoring his tea rather than paying more attention to the conversation at hand.

"Yeah but I want to hear it from you." I said bluntly. Normally I'm more reserved and politer than this but this entire conversation has left my drained.

"I don't have much time left as the boss of Vongola and I need a successor. Normally I'm supposed to leave it to just the family but there's no other options for me now, with the world being the way it is. Dying will flames can only be channeled by those who are quirkless and yes, there are documented cases of those who were born with both a quirk and Dying Will Flames but it's extremely rare." Tsuna said.

Mukuro was subjected to testing for both after all. Tsuna thought bitterly for his Mist guardian.

"And that person … is supposed to be me?" A stupid question sure but there is nothing wrong with needing confirmation.

"I'm going to be honest with you, you're not my first choice. There someone else in the family that can potentially take my place but "she" was not interested in becoming the next boss. "She" much preferred becoming the next boss for the Varia, an explanation for another time." Tsuna said before I could ask who or what the Varia was.

"So, what, I'm just second fiddle to you?" I asked a bit sharply. Even though I am quite wary of this proposition, it kind of stung to hear I was only the potential back-up plan; kind of robs the special feeling I had hearing I was a very rare sky flame user. Childish I know, but it's not like I'm an adult yet.

Tsuna just sighs as he dumped the rest of his tea to a nearby potted plant.

"We're done here." Tsuna said.

"What?" Is he brushing me off?

"It's obvious we're not going to reach any conclusions today. Go home Midoriya, it's late." My eyes wander to a nearby window to show that it was night time. How did time go by so quickly?

It was then I began to realize something. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING!?

I openly said … I told him I was willing to do almost anything. So, what if he used to be part of the mafia, he's not anymore. He's been nothing but honest and kind to me and what do I do, I treat him like he's a criminal, a villain. So, what if I wasn't the first choice? That doesn't mean he doesn't need me now. The only thing he asked of me is to take the mantle of the next preserver of peace. Am I really going to let all this go just because of my pride and my perception of Vongola shifted a little. I'm being such a brat. He's … he's not a bad person.

"I'M SORRY!" I quickly said while bowing my head.

"I … you …." I couldn't find the proper words, the only thing I could feel was shame, tears threatening to fall from my face but he seemed to understand and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and once again, I was left calm by the spark of dying will flames that he ignites inside of me.

"Apology accepted. The question remains Midoriya, what do YOU want to do? Who do YOU want to be?" It was a simple question but one I can wholeheartedly answer.

"I want to be a hero!"

"Each boss of Vongola has lived different lives Midoriya. Vongola Primo and I have lived as Vigilantes. Vongola bosses 2-5 have lived as feared mob bosses. Vongola bosses 6-9 have lived as benevolent dons. Maybe it's time you be the first Vongola Hero, Midoriya." He said as he patted my head, a friendly smile on his face. I smiled back and nodded my agreement. It was settled, I was going to be the eleventh Vongola boss.

-End Flashback-

I was knocked out of musings before I finally spotted an enemy, a 3 pointer to boot. The first to react is the first to strike. I didn't slow my speed and instead sped up only for me to dive kick and ultimately destroy the helpless robot as I separated its head from its body. Two more robots were coming towards me, both 2 pointers. I didn't feel the need to pull out my "secret weapon" quite yet. Considering how easily I destroyed the 3 pointers, I could only surmise the 2 pointers were just as fragile. My hypothesis was proven correct as I easily destroyed them with a fast punch and an uppercut on the other robot. Already I have 7 points to my name. I turned my back around to see others were beginning to catch up. I need to make the most of this, my head start.

Isn't that right … Reborn. I completely shudder at the name as I was left reeling from another memory as I go look for more enemies.

-Flashback-

1 week went by since I last saw Mr. Sawada. He needed to make a few necessary calls before we could start my training as well as get my mother's consent for him to train me. To make the most of my training, he actually wants me to stay at the Vongola Manor so that we don't waste time going back and forth between his house, my house and the school. I've been avoiding Kacchan like the plague ever since Mr. Yamamoto paralyzed him and I've been successful so far. I invited Mr. Sawada to my home for dinner so that we could talk things out with my mom. Suffice to say, he really worked up the charm and managed to convince my mom to allow me to stay at another person's house for the next 10 months … well as long as I call her every day before bed.

The arrangements were made, I packed my things and I would be living in Vongola Manor for the next couple of months. The room I was given resembled that of a 5-star hotel and the meals they prepared were simply out of this world. It was about time to sleep and I just finished calling my mother; a knock on my door alerted me to go answer the call and outside my door, a butler was their waiting for me.

"Good evening Master Midoriya, it seems the boss wants to see you." And I nodded my head before closing the door, change my clothes to make myself a little more presentable and made my way to Mr. Sawada's office. The same routine of knocking on his door and awaiting the signal for me to come in.

Once inside I find that Mr. Sawada wasn't alone. In his left was a sharply dressed man in a black suit, with a yellow long-sleeved shirt and black necktie from underneath. He also wore a black fedora with a yellow stripe, his fedora seems to contain most of his hair. To his right was a woman that wore a simple purple shirt, maroon jacket and a black skirt. One of the more prominent things about her was the eye patch covering one of her eyes. My eyes wander towards Mr. Sawada and judging from his expression, he seemed a little tense with his eyes shadowed and all.

"You wanted to see me?" I hesitantly asked.

"Yes, Midoriya, I did. I've completed your training schedule and …" he didn't seem like he wanted to continue any further. It was quite a sight to see the boss of Vongola clam up and well, not calm or confident. Was something the matter.

"Still the same useless student I see." The man on his left said. Tsuna flinched, he freaking flinched.

"Reborn … don't you think this training schedule is a little too … extreme?" Tsuna couldn't help but ask his previous tutor and the man just smirked at him.

"It's like you don't even know me Dame-Tsuna." Now Tsuna's face was full of dejection. The only person in the entire world that can speak down on Tsuna on this level,

"I think I know you well enough and your sadism hasn't changed at all." Tsuna sighed as he handed me my schedule and I started to pale looking at the sheet of paper.

"Is this … is this even possible?" I said out loud as I continued to read the schedule. The man just sighs before looking at both me and Tsuna.

"I'm beginning to see a resemblance between the two of you and I'm quite disappointed to put up with this again." Reborn openly stated his dissatisfaction.

"Please Reborn, just do this for me and you'll never have to hear from me again. It'll just be for 10 months." Tsuna begged.

"So this is going to be the 11th boss. Exactly how is he related to Vongola again?" Reborn asked as he looked at his student. One of his professions is to train future mob bosses or in this case, just a boss but if this kid doesn't even have the right credentials, this is simply a waste of time to Reborn. It was then Tsuna gestured for Reborn to come closer. Normally Reborn would make Tsuna come to him if he needed something to be spoken quietly or in private but he decided to humor his old student a bit and bent over to offer his ear. It was then Tsuna whispered something I couldn't quite hear. His eyes would focus on me every now and then, which made me curios what they were talking about until Reborn just nodded his head.

"Gokudera thinks somethings up huh. He's usually not wrong when it comes to these things." Reborn said while cupping his chin in thought.

"He's pretty dependable all right." Tsuna said, proud of his right-hand man.

"What were you guys saying?" I asked.

"I'll tell you in 9 months from now when it's my time to train you." I quickly look over the schedule again and indeed, my last month of training was with Mr. Sawada himself.

The First 2 months are with Reborn. According to the schedule my time spent with Reborn is labeled "Body Building." Whatever that meant. My next 2 months are with Ryohei in close quarters combat. (CQC) There is a huge timeslot of 5 months that says TBD but the section is labeled "Weapon Training." The final month with Tsuna was what had me worried as Mr. Sawada's time spent with me is labeled, "Doomsday."

"Training begins tomorrow so sleep early. Our training begins at 5." Reborn said. Before he started leaving, he turned towards his student and couldn't help himself but leave behind a snide remark.

"This sure is going to bring back memories, why don't you join us, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn suggested only for Tsuna to respond with a quick shake of his head as Reborn quickly left while giving a slight chuckle.

"Who is that guy?"

"His name is Reborn … my tutor. He's the one that trained me to be the person that I am today. He's probably the only person in the world I just can't keep my composure with. Despite his … cavalier and aloof personality, he's the only person I trust implicitly. I don't need to put on any masks or be something that everyone expects me to be because in his eyes, I'll always be that same useless student he trained 30 years ago. Because we've known each other for so long, he knows every one of my secrets … every single one." Tsuna said the last part slowly as he was starting to remember all those times Reborn has humiliated him.

"He … seems quite young for someone that's supposed to be so old." It was then Tsuna quickly shushed me and started looking left and right.

"Don't say anything bad about him. Reborn always knows what's going on or the things people say about. If you thought I was good at reading people, he was the one that taught me." Tsuna said as he let out a sigh of relief to see that Reborn was nowhere in sight.

I didn't know at the time why Mr. Sawada seemed so paranoid when it comes to Reborn despite the fact that he openly admitted Reborn was someone he can trust without question. For the next 2 months however … I understood completely.

"Anyway, is there anything else you need me for?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm sure you noticed this lovely lady here beside me." Tsuna said as he gestured towards the women I saw to his right. She blushed a little at her boss's compliment before waving a hello to me.

"Um, hello." I awkwardly greeted.

"To make most of this training, you're going to stay here and complete the schedule. Chrome here will be filling in for you during your school days. Everything she learns will be taught to you during the evening time right before bed." Tsuna said which I could only stare at the man in shock.

Skip school … really? This was something I would never think to do.

"How is she going to do that, she looks nothing like me!?" I mean look at her, how is she going to pass off as me?

"Chrome, show him." Tsuna said with a smile which Chrome only nodded. A purple mist started to surround her form until she was completely shrouded. Once the mist cleared, the person in front of me was no longer there but … another me.

"Wh … what!" I looked at my doppelganger in shock and once again, the person just waived at me with the same gesture/greeting of hello.

"Midoriya, this is one of many uses of purple mist flames. Pretty convincing huh?" Tsuna said and he was right. My double looked just like me from head to toe.

"Are … are you really asking me to skip school. According to the schedule, I'm supposed to cram study time to only just 1 hour. You're making me learn 6-8 hours' worth of knowledge to fit in just 1 hour." This is ridiculous.

"Don't worry, Chrome is a good teacher and if worse comes to worse, Reborn or Gokudera will teach you." Tsuna said wishing that it doesn't have to come to that concerning the last part.

"Are you really ok with this? I mean how long has it been since you were in middle school?" I addressed Chrome. Her only response was a shrug.

"If it's boss's orders … I'm willing to do anything." Chrome said with determination. Though some can misconstrue those words to something a little more perverse, the two adults in the room aren't even phased by such a statement showing that they both trust each other quite a bit.

"Thanks Chrome, I'll be counting on you." Tsuna said as she returned back to normal and gave a slight bow before leaving the room.

"Get some sleep Midoriya, you're going to need it for tomorrow's training.

I nodded my head, before leaving the room myself. Once Tsuna was left alone, he started to give a silent prayer for me.

Have mercy on their soul. Tsuna thought as the next few months were pure hell.

-Flash back end-

The first few months were a bit of a blur. I think it's my mind trying to force itself to forget the trauma Reborn put me through but I do remember that the first two training segments in the schedule were not separate events but a combined one. I wasn't going to just be trained by Reborn but Ryohei too. So instead of 2 moths with Reborn and 2 months with Ryohei, it was going to be 4 moths with Reborn and Ryohei.

My first task was to climb a huge mountain using only my bare hands. I told Reborn he was crazy but that complaint died in my throat as he literally shot me. What soon transpired was a bit of a blur. It was like I was out of my body, not really in control of it anymore but at the same time aware of what's happening. My clothes would explode and I would scream REBORN. The feeling I had right after he shot me was a feeling of regret that I wasn't able to become a hero and before I knew it, my body was filled with renewed energy. I would scream that I would climb this mountain with my dying will and by the time I realized it and gain back control, I was at the top of the mountain. My muscles felt extremely sore and I was covered in dirt and grime and was only left in my underwear. If I wasn't so sore, I probably would have felt some sense of embarrassment but the only thing I wanted to do was lie down.

Reborn on the other hand had other plans. Using the power of Sun flames, he would force my body to quickly heal, kick me off the mountain and have Ryohei heal me again using his sun trowel and the process would start over. We did that from dawn to dusk and after a week of doing this, I possessed a body I could only dream of. The second and third week of Reborn's training would be the same thing only with more and more ridiculous conditions. Climb the mountain in a certain time limit, otherwise he'd shoot me down where I was and have me start over. Climb the mountain with one hand tied behind my back. Climb the mountain with one hand behind my back with a time limit so on and so forth. By the end of it all, I can confidently say I was the king of that mountain; one of my favorite childhood games I used to play with Kacchan now that I think about it.

Speaking of my old friend, Chrome seems to have adjusted herself in my school. She notified me that one time during my first month of training, Kacchan would try and engage her but she would simply use her powers and disappear from his sight. The more she did that, the angrier he would become. I could only laugh in nervousness. I wasn't looking forward to seeing him anytime soon. As for the studying segments, Chrome really was a pretty decent teacher however … whenever I start slowing down, Reborn would come in and he would show me the meaning of spartan tutoring. Suffice to say, I made sure I completely understood the material and brush up the next chapter ahead of time if I finish earlier than usual.

During the second month, I was done with mountain climbing and was then forced to spar with Ryohei. Ryohei would always make sure we do warmups before we started sparring. We'd start with a morning jog followed by other light warmup exercises. Reborn would shoot me with a bullet, I enter dying will mode and I attack my teacher with everything that I have. In the end, he would always win. Even though my consciousness wasn't entirely there, my body was learning how to fight. Each time I fight Ryohei, I adopt some of his footwork and fighting style; one of that of a boxer. Embarrassingly enough though, each time I threw a punch, even though my mind isn't entirely there, I would scream SMASH like a certain somebody. Reborn would tease me after I gain consciousness but surprisingly enough, Ryohei accepts my passion wholeheartedly and would always return a punch while screaming EXTREME. The more I use dying will mode, the more control I have; the longer the transformations last. That's what this sparring is all about, to temper my spirit. Though I have lost consecutively against Ryohei, winning wasn't the point of this training.

I momentarily cut out of my musing as I was now surrounded by robots of varying sizes. If I were to take all of them out, that would bump my score to a solid 35. I think now would be a good time to bring out my "weapon." Reaching for my back, I pulled it out, a stick.

During my third month of training, it's Reborn's turn to train me again. But before we could start, he showed me his pet chameleon, Leon. Or at least he told me it was a chameleon as it's form was … well, not a chameleon. It was like a huge blob or something of the sort. Reborn told me Leon only takes this form when his students are getting stronger and have to go through a serious trial and that trial is to survive against Ryhohei. The "weapon" would come forth if I agree to fight Ryohei, a test to show my resolve in my training. I agreed, and out of Leon's mouth … came a stick. Was … this some kind of joke. Reborn simply shrugged his shoulders as he recounted his tale of Tsuna's first weapon so, a stick wasn't that strange of a weapon compared to woolly gloves. Reborn then told that whatever my weapon was is probably not in it's true state. He brought up the example with Mr. Yamamoto's weapon of how it took the shape of a bat when it truth, it's really a sword. I asked him how to "unsheathe" my weapon only for him to tell me that it should come naturally to me once the trial begins.

Ryohei finally arrived. He turned towards me with a serious expression and asked me if I accepted my trial and I nodded. He then sighed before a confident smirk replaced his previous expression of doubt. His eyes shined brightly as he told me that I was extreme and that he respected me. One of the rings on his finger shined brightly before it took the shape of a kangaroo. I was shocked at first but I didn't have time to be left in state of shock as he then merged with the kangaroo as he screamed "Cambio Forma!" No longer was there a suit and tie but boxing gear. Red gloves, adorning yellow and silver bracelets coupling with thigh, knee and shin guards ending in a pair of boots which function similarly to a pair of Dying Will Flame Boots. The objective of this trial is to survive 3 full minutes in the wringer with Ryohei at his full strength. This fight or should I say beating, almost killed me.

-Flashback-

"Before this fight starts, I have a special bullet for you, Midoriya. It's not like your everyday dying will bullet. This bullet puts more strain on your body, but I think you're ready." Reborn said.

And if Gokudera's hunch is correct, I'll know for sure if this kid really has Vongola blood. Reborn thought.

"Ready?" Reborn asked me and I nodded my head.

He shot the bullet and the next thing I knew, my body felt heavy and I was left in pain. It feels as if my body is breaking, yet I feel like I can take on anything, I'm not afraid of destroying my body. I open my eyes and even though Reborn shot me with a dying will bullet, one where I usually lose control, I feel that familiar sense of calm; the calm I felt every time Mr. Sawada ignites the flame deep inside of me. I'm the one in control and surprisingly enough, my clothes are intact.

Eyes forward, I take a stance, ready to tackle the man in front of me.

Reborn looked at me for a few moments before signaling for the fight to start.

Somewhere deep inside of me, a strong sense of preservation overloaded my senses and was screaming for my body to move but it was too late. As soon as the battle started, Ryohei was already in front of me and punched me right in the gut. I was left winded but the pain didn't stop there as Ryohei followed the punch to the gut with an uppercut. I was sent flying from the attack but I managed to recover. Ryohei managed to close the distance between me and him again and started to perform quick 1-2 blows; a flurry of fast punches.

"Maximum Combination!" Ryohei screamed.

I tried to block as dodging these attacks is impossible. I had some success but there was no denying I was getting pummeled. However, the more he punched, the more I started to get used to his overwhelming speed. I was also adjusting to the signals my mind and body were telling me. Move left, right, up, down, so on and so forth which was the reason I was able to dodge and block some of his attacks and Reborn took notice of this. I managed to find an opening as he overstretched his arm from his previous attack. My many spars with him from the last month helped me quite a bit into discovering his fighting pattern even though he's not holding back anymore.

"It's now or never!" I screamed as I lifted my stick and flooded it with dying will flames. I struck at Ryohei and landed a quick blow to his ribs as he winced from the attack. I sent him a few meters back from the strength of my strike giving me enough time to inspect my true weapon; a night stick/baton.

Ryohei smiled at me while clutching his sides.

"Nice hit Midoriya, but we still got 2 minutes in the clock." Ryohei said. Has it really only been 1 minute since our fight started? It felt like I was fighting for hours. It was then I noticed the bangle in his left arm ignited with a single flame. My senses were telling me to be wary and on the lookout for that.

Ryohei started shuffling his feet in some fancy footwork and closed the distance. My senses were telling me to move away towards the back but my judgment based on my many experiences fighting him told me he was going to punch with his left so I moved right for a quick dodge only to realize too late that it was a feint; I should have listened to my intuition and moved back.

"Maximum Ingram!" Ryohei screamed as there was suddenly 3 of him attacking me simultaneously with the last punch with ….

"Sunshine uppercut!" I was left in a daze but I was still conscious, barely that is. I started to sway left and right, having a hard time finding my sense of balance. Only 1-minute left in the clock. I raised my nightstick in defense, I was on my last legs. He knew it, I knew it and more than likely Reborn knew it too.

As Ryohei came in for the finishing blow, I decided to let my instincts carry me through seeing as my body can't do much else in this situation. I dodged his attack. He blinked and had a look of surprise and all honesty, I was surprised too. He tried again and I was able to see it coming and dodged appropriately. He would try and attack me and each time I barely dodge his attacks. I don't even know how I'm doing all this but a knowing smirk adorned Reborn's face. Coming for another attack, I was able to see another opening and struck his face, leaving behind a slight bruise. A single yellow flame ignited on his bangle but by attacking I was left open for a counter attack. With my body as damaged as it was, I was left wide open and unable to dodge in my current position.

"Sunshine Count-!" Ryohei was about to scream only to get interrupted by Reborn.

"Chaos shot." Reborn calmly said as he shot Ryohei, signaling for him to stop. The 3 minutes were up. Now that the fight was over, I collapsed right then and there. The rest of the third month was spent recovering my injuries … mom wasn't too happy as I was unable to keep my promise of calling her every day. She was suspicious at first but as soon as I woke up, I called her immediately and told her I was fine.

-Flashback End-

As for the fourth and final month, Ryohei took our spars a little more seriously and then taught me how to use Dying Will Boots so that I could get used to aerial combat as well. Reborn wasn't present as he left to discuss a few things with Mr. Sawada.

Back to the fight, the stick on my hand quickly transformed into my nightstick and I was then making short work of these robots. I felt a presence behind me as a robot was about to strike me. Of course, I was aware that it was there with my intuition but before I could turn around and go for an attack, a laser blew straight through the robot, effectively destroying it.

"I've got this. Merci! I appreciate the assist! But I doubt we'll be meeting again. Adieu." And the boy with the navel laser ran from the scene, looking for another robot.

"6 minutes and 2 seconds remaining in the clock!"

! There's no time to be admiring another person's quirk. I need to access my current situation.

There is not much robots left and there's only 6 minutes left on the clock. There are those who have quirks that can access the situation in an instant, information gatherers as my eyes look towards someone with multiple limbs. There are those with quirks who'll never be late to the party, the mobility experts with my eyes traveling towards the guy with the glasses that doesn't really have a high opinion of me based on our initial greeting. There are those who can cope with any given situation, the decision makers which my eyes landed on navel laser boy. And finally, the natural born warriors, my mind wandered towards a certain "friend" of mine. Where do I land in all this? With my powers, I'm very mobile. With my intuition, I can access any situation instantly as well as cope in any situation that I'm currently in. As for my natural ability … jury is still out on that one.

What do I do now? What should I do? Well … there definitely something I'm not going to do.

"Bite them to death." I thought as I started to sweat cold bullets at the memory and remember what the next 5 months were like after my training was complete with Reborn and Ryohei. To keep it short so that I don't have to think about those 5 months any longer than I have to, the gist of it was that Mr. Hibari was chosen to be my next teacher. The details were left TBD (to be determined) since at the time, no one knew what my weapon of choice was going to be, just that the allotted time of 5 months was going to be spent training me on how to effectively use my weapon. If you want to know about my experiences during my time with Mr. Hibari was like, think of my serious battle with Ryohei and times that by 5 months. According to him, the best way to learn is through experience and boy did I get a lot of it; painful, painful experience. I cursed thy name Tsuna but I didn't suffer alone as Tsuna managed to convince Hibari to train me in exchange that instead of agreeing to fight Hibari on a monthly basis, he upgraded his deal with Hibari that he would agree to fight him on a weekly basis instead, 4 times the amount … forever. Okay, now that I think about it, Mr. Sawada might have gotten the shorter end of the stick but I certainly didn't feel that way when I went 5 straight months with this crazy man.

My attention was then directed towards a loud booming noise as a gigantic robot emerged out of nowhere, this giant, 0-point robot. Even though proctors of the exam told us to avoid this thing at all cost, something was keeping me rooted to my spot. My intuition led me towards my reason. Someone was trapped under a pile of rubble. The girl I met from this morning. Though we didn't know each other for very long, she was the first kind face around here I've seen and met when I first entered U. A's entrance exam location. I … I need to save her! I momentarily looked towards my nightstick and close my eyes, remembering my final month of training, Doomsday.

-Flashback-

"That expression, something tells me you weren't too thrilled to have Hibari as your teacher." Tsuna simply said, not that he blamed the poor kid. I just gave him a very, very dry look.

"So, what now? According to the schedule, you're going to be my next teacher. It's says it's "Doomsday" whatever that means." I said out lout as I began scanning through the training schedule. He didn't answer me at first until he handed me a piece of paper.

"I've updated the training schedule, take a look." Tsuna said as my eyes wandered towards my new schedule.

A week of R&R after going through a stressful training regimen, a week to learn zero-point breakthrough revised and first edition, a week of sparring with the boss himself to discover any new fighting methods or techniques for me to learn and finally the last week, "Doomsday."

"Any questions you have now, ask them. There will be no time for breaks once your training starts again. During this time, you are free do as you wish. Visit some friends, see your mother, go back to school, even sleep for the day. This week is your time to unwind." Tsuna said.

"Just exactly what is "Doomsday?"" I asked.

"Let's just say, it's the part of your training that's most likely going to kill you if you come unprepared. The final test to prove your resolve. All future Vongola bosses go through this stage, I myself have almost died in the process of going through it." Tsuna said.

"Ki … kill me?" I repeated.

"You can opt out of this part of the training if you wish Midoriya. It's a miracle you were able to follow such a harsh training regimen despite having no experience whatsoever. Just know, that to be the next boss of Vongola, you're going to have to do this test sooner or later." Tsuna said.

"I'll do it!" I said with no hesitation. He then looked at me incredulously as if I made the worst decision of my life.

"The deal was that if you gave me the strength to follow my dreams, I'd do whatever you asked of me, to be the next Vongola boss. I'm not someone that goes against my word. I know I wasn't completely happy with the fact of who and what you really are er … were at first, but I'd be more than happy if ended up becoming just like you." I said honestly. So maybe he doesn't represent what a hero should be like. He fights for his self-interests but if you really think about it, most heroes these days are exactly like him. The only difference is that he acknowledges that he isn't really anybody heroic. Sure, the stuff he does may seem heroic but the reasoning behind them is entirely selfish. Not to mention in his world to an extent, the end justifies the means. He's not willing to sacrifice any of his comrades lives or anything but there's a reason why he handles situations in the shadows; his actions aren't entirely legal. He is somebody who walks the gray line, a perfect harmony between good and evil, light and darkness, yin and yang.

"Though I appreciate the sentiment, it was unfair of me to put you into this situation. I exploited the fact that you wanted to be a hero Midoriya so that you could be my successor. You are somebody that Toshi respects which means you are a person of great character. What I wanted from a successor was someone who has a good sense of morality and you fit into that role quite nicely. If I don't make a decision soon, the higher members of my Familia will decide for me and I fear that everything I've worked up to this point will be undone, that Vongola will end up becoming a Mafia again should I leave the decision in their hands, which is why I need you. However, it feels like I'm throwing you into a life you ultimately wouldn't want to have so I'm giving you an out. You can quit here and now and take with you everything you learned up to this point. You can still become a fine hero in your own right and live an ordinary life." Tsuna offered.

God how much I wanted an out when I was first declared the 10th in line of Vongola bosses. Tsuna thought.

I pondered his offer for a minute or two while crossing my arms in deep thought until I just shook my head.

"If you put it that way, maybe it's better that I become the boss then. I'm not sure how well I will be able to perform as a leader but if what you say is true, I wouldn't want anyone untrustworthy in your position. In all honesty, I'm not sure I quite fit in to being somebody's boss. It feels like this potion can only truly be filled in by you and you alone. Whoever has to take the next mantle of Vongola Boss has some big shoes to fill in and an insurmountable wall to climb, at least that's how I feel. But I'm determined, I'll be your successor." Tsuna looked at me with a blank expression until it changed to that of a warm smile.

"You have my gratitude, Midoriya." Tsuna said as he felt 10 pounds lighter with all that weight on his shoulders into finding a successor.

"Are there any other questions you have for me?" Tsuna asked.

"There are a few I wanted to ask. Each Boss comes with their own set of Guardians, right? Who are going to be my Guardians?"

"Well I don't really know how to answer that question since my own Guardians were decided for me but normally, it's the boss who ultimately decides who they want their Guardians to be. You wouldn't happen to have any quirkless friends by any chance?" Tsuna asked as I quickly shook my head to which he sighed.

"Yeah … I didn't think so. But from what I know, Guardians will be decided upon those who you trust the most. Though I'm not sure when my father and Reborn decided for the friends that I've made to be my Guardians, from what I can gather it all starts with an interaction between people, build a connection with them and ultimately exposure. When Reborn came into my life, my life changed for the better. I started to engage with more people through the ridiculous situations Reborn puts me through and in turn, I made some friends; a connection was made. Because they became my friends, they started to take notice of the things I can do, the danger I'm put in and because they're my friends, they try to help me out whenever they can and became exposed to my lifestyle, the way of the Dying Will Flame. I can only guess that's what you have to do. Should things go as planned and you make in to U.A., there's no doubt you're going to meet some amazing people and make some friends. Though I said, those born with quirks are unable to learn dying will flames, this can fall under a special condition. My predecessors have a had a few Guardians born with the ability to use both quirks and Dying Will Flames which is why Gokudera and I are having a hard time finding the reasoning behind this defect but the only connection that we've made was that it was under the will of the Boss of that time. So, theoretically speaking, the friends that you will make in U.A. might have the potential to learn how to use Dying Will Flames as long as they meet the same requirements which is to possess an undying will. There also needs to be a compatibility. As I said, people are born with different traits and personalities that determines what flame they have an affinity for. You can't have 2 storm Guardians after all or any other of Dying Will Flames of the Sky. So be on the lookout." Tsuna concluded.

"So, what you're saying is, I choose what Guardian I can have and if they meet all these conditions, they can ultimately learn how to use Dying Will Flames." I summarized which Tsuna nodded. I'm not that good at making friends but I'll have to try my best to find the people with the best fit.

"I'm sure it will come naturally to you as it did me so don't sweat about it." Tsuna said which i can only nod.

"I have another question. About 9 months back, you and Reborn were talking about something and my gut's been telling me that it has something to do with me." I said.

"I'm surprised that you were able to remember that. If you want to know, I stated before that Vongola bosses are only to remain in the family meaning those with Vongola blood are the ones to succeed the previous boss. Because I'm technically the last in line of my family's lineage, I've been pressured to … procreate and have a child of my own. I just wasn't able to find the right person and even if I did, the family is expecting me to wed somebody who is quirkless so that my perspective child doesn't become tainted with a quirk and lose their ability to use Dying Will Flames. After talking with you a little, Gokudera surmised that there is a possibility that I'm not actually the last in line of my family but in actuality, it's you that's the furthest down in our family tree." Tsuna said.

"Meh … me?" I asked questioningly.

"When you were training with Reborn and Ryohei, Reborn took notice that once you unlocked Hyper Dying Will mode, you showed traits of possessing Hyper Intuition, something only those who have Vongola blood inside can have. Tell me Midoriya, has there ever been a moment where it feels like your body and you mind is telling you to perform a certain action?" Tsuna asked which I nodded. I was able to dodge some of Ryohei's attacks because I listened to the signals that my body gave.

"Hyper Intuition is the power to see all. A blood trait only passed down in the Vongola family. Once Reborn confirmed that you indeed possess Hyper Intuition, we did a little digging concerning your family. Your mother side of the family came out clean … but your father on the other hand is a different story." Tsuna said.

"My … father?" Which Tsuna can only nod in confirmation.

"Your father was stated to have a quirk that allows him to project fire, isn't that right, Midoriya?"

"Yeah … but."

"Turns out those flames isn't your everyday fire based quirk, a mistake on your mother's part no doubt and the real reason why you were born quirkless in the first place. I mean, c'mon, having 2 parents with quirks only to have a child that was born quirkless is statistically impossible. The signs were all there, Midoriya." Tsuna said.

"But … but how can this be … how could this have happened?" I asked. Just how much do I not know about my own family, my own father.

To make this easier to explain, Tsuna presented a large piece of paper showing OUR family tree. It seems during Vongola Primo's time, there's 2 different branches spiraling down towards the bottom of the tree. On the right side was Tsuna's side of the family where it ultimately ends with Tsuna as the last heir; Primo's true family. On the left side, a name starts with Simora, which then extends to Fabio. Lower down the line, Fabio's descendants were shown. Fabio's child Daniela who then has a child of their own named Timoteo. According to Tsuna, was said to be the 9th Vongola boss.

"This is where the connection starts." Tsuna said pointing towards Vongola the 9th.

"How … how am I related to Timoteo exactly?" I asked.

"Did … you know I also wasn't the first choice to be the next successor of Vongola?" I widen my eyes in surprise.

"But … but why." I quickly asked. I just admitted that there was no better fit for this role than Mr. Sawada. To hear that he wasn't the first choice was a bit of a shock.

"That honor went to Timoteo's children. However, due to certain circumstance, all 3 of his children have died before they were given the chance to succeed as the next boss. Timeteo's first child, Enrico, was shot and killed in a gunfight. Massimo, the second child, crossed the wrong people and was drowned because of it. It was the 3rd child however, where things get a bit interesting. He was reported to have died mysteriously as only his bones remained when he was finally found after he was reported missing. After a little digging, turns out he wasn't dead after all. Federico loved his family but he absolutely had no interest inheriting the family business. He faked his death, changed his name and eventually started a family of his own. He then had a child who eventually became your grandfather and then had a child of his own that is your father and now we have come full circle. The last in line of the Vongola family, is you. It's hard to say whether or not your father or even your grandfather even knew what their lineage was" Tsuna concluded.

I was left speechless but it does explain a few things. Why I was born quirkless, why I possessed Sky Flames, and why I was able to survive my fight with Ryohei. But this doesn't change anything aside from the fact that inheriting Vongola became my birthright less Tsuna eventually does have a child of his own and have them inherit Vongola instead. I still plan on being the 1tth boss of Vongola.

"I know this is a lot to take in but that's the honest truth. You and I, we're family." Tsuna said as I started to look at the man in front of me in a different light.

"So … do I call you Uncle Tsuna or something?" I asked. I mean we come from different branches in our family tree; the only thing we share is a common ancestor.

"You can call me whatever you like but when we're in front of company, you address me with respect." Tsuna said, makes sense since he hasn't officially retired yet so he deserves all the respect of a prestigious Boss.

"So, what now? To which Tsuna just shrugged his shoulders.

"Enjoy your break Midoriya, I'll see you in a week." And so, I did. Instead of calling my mom, I visted her instead. She was so shocked to how much I changed these past few months. More confident, more toned and a power to call my own. I also spent my time going back to school to see what that was like, it's been over 9 months after all. All the people that used to tease me, I didn't even flinch. I met and fought with some real monsters after all, cough Hibari cough.

I'd leave the school with a spring on my step. Those that liked to physically hurt me couldn't even keep up with me anymore. As for Kacchan … I still made sure to avoid him at all cost.

The week went by quickly and it was time start training again. Learning Zero-Point Breakthrough Revised and First Edition was difficult to say the least. Absorbing flames by burning through my energy supply and entering the minus state. It took some practice for sure and then using that to learn Zero-Point Breakthrough First Edition. With the flick of his wrist, Mr. Sawada would throw a simple ball of flame at me and it was my job to either absorb it or turn it into ice. My success rate so far is 65%. We used a good chunk of the third week to bump it up to 80% success rate; every now and then I'd mess up the absorbing process and get hit by the fireball.

The rest of the 3rd week was simply review with what I learned with Hibari. For one thing, my night stick can take 2 forms. It's normal form for quick and painful strikes and its extended form, where the normal length of my night stick is 10 inches, it can extend up to 2ft. The extended form is for a more defensive style of fighting. I learned from Tsuna that I can ignite my stick even further by having the tip come in contact with the fire on my head. Tsuna said that all weapons when combined with DWF, no matter how impossible it may seem, has potential for ranged combat. To prove that, he showed me his signature technique, the X-Burner. When I tried to mimic his X-Burner attack by flooding my weapon with even more DWF, the tip of my baton would light on fire. I point my baton towards my target and try to release some of that fire from my weapon. Well … it wasn't a gigantic powerful blast of DWF but instead multiple small pellets of DWF. To make a comparison, Tsuna's X-burner would be a cannon or a bazooka in terms of raw power. My technique/form of ranged combat would be a machine gun. I was a little dejected at first as the technique in of itself wasn't very flashy but it does have its uses as either a distraction or to stun my enemy. It's not very strong, it hurts as much as a bee sting but I can fire multiple bullets at a time making it difficult for anybody to dodge and while there stunned, I can close the distance and attack using melee combat.

Finally, the 4th and final week, "Doomsday." Tsuna me if I was ready and I nodded my head. Before we started, he gave the proof of what it means to be the next Vongola Boss, he gave me his ring. Well, it turned into a ring cause when it was under his possession, it was a belt buckle. He told me to put it on and when I did … nothing happened.

"Good, the fact that you're not bleeding out means the ring doesn't reject you." Tsuna said. I started to picture myself coughing blood before I started to shake my head of the thought.

"Alright, MIdoriya! It's Doomsday, the day that you die. I'm going to come at fully intending to kill you." Tsuna said and to prove that point he entered Hyper Dying Will Mode. The aura he was exuding was strong enough create some strong winds and crack the floor beneath, trying to contain all that power. I started to panic.

"What do I do? What am I supposed to do?" I asked shielding my eyes from the strong winds Tsuna was creating, his flames were 100s of times stronger than what he first showed me. Is this going to be another survival battle like with Ryohei?

"You're going to need to undergo the Vongola Trial and to do that, you must go through a near-death experience." Tsuna said as he wasn't going to explain anymore as he started to power up even further, blowing me back a few feet away from him. After he was done powering up, he flew high into air. Once he felt it was at a satisfactory level, he floated there for a bit.

"This is your last chance to turn back now, otherwise …." Tsuna warned.

I shook my head and popped 2 pills in my mouth. I then readied my nightstick, ready to take on whatever Mr. Sawada throws at me.

I wish you'd back out Izuku, I really don't want to have to do this. Those were his last thoughts as he initiated Operation X.

"DON'T REGRET THIS! X-BURNER!" Tsuna screamed as giant blast of DWF left the palm of Tsuna's hand and went straight for me.

I tried to block the strike with my nightstick and then tried absorbing some of the blow by using Zero-Point Breakthrough Revised, but there is no way I was going to be able to absorb something of this magnitude. I was starting to lose my grip until the blast engulfed my entire being. I screamed in agonizing pain before the ring on my finger started to shine brightly until my mind ejected my consciousness out my body to somewhere else.

The world was dark, the only light provided was the ring on my finger. The ring started to show me visions, horrible, horrible visions of the sins committed by the previous Vongola Bosses. I started to clutch my head in pain as I was left hearing the cries and screams of the victims of Vongola's wrath. Silhouettes of the previous bosses started to surround, telling me to give into the greatness of Vongola. What greatness? All I see around me is pain and agony. Accept all this sin for greater power, I'd much rather remain quirkless and powerless. I screamed where they could take their power and openly state that I would much rather have Vongola end with me altogether. Before I knew it, the dark world was no longer there but instead, an endless sky was laid out in front of me. Before I could collapse, a hand, picked me up and it was none other than the person that sent me here in the first place, Vongola Decimo. I was no surrounded by silhouettes but there actual real form. Each of them holding the weapon they were known to have and use during their lifetime.

"So that is your resolve?" I turned towards the voice to somebody that looked shockingly similar Mr. Sawada.

"Your resolution has been unequivocally accepted. To flourish or to perish. It's up to you now, Undicimo. Now it's time for you to inherit, the proof of Vongola."

My mind returned me to my body as I was once again engulfed by the pain of the X-Burner. My Night Stick soon morphed into the Xi Baton Version Vongola Ring. Once I flooded my Baton with new found power of Hard Sky Flames, my Baton soon morphed into something else as I released a powerful strike, strong enough to extinguish Tsuna's X-Burner. Sensing the danger, Tsuna quickly flew to the sides as my attack flew right past him. His gaze returned towards me in pride that I was able to counter his attack.

He slowly started to descend and make his way towards me.

"I knew you could do it. Even thought that X-Burner was only at 20% strength I am still impressed that you …" He didn't finish his statement as I collapsed from exhaustion. Though I was able to repel his attack, that doesn't change the fact that I took some damage from trying to block that attack. I dropped my weapon as it took the form of a stick once again and I blacked out. Luckily though, I was able to wake up be at full strength within 3 days of rest. My 10 months were finally over.

After everything was all said and done, we started to go over what our next course of action was. Tomorrow would be the day the entrance exam starts and where my life finally begins. The last day before my entrance exams starts, I want to spend it with my mother.

"Midoriya before you go, I want you to not use Hard Sky Flames unless it's an emergency. Hard Sky Flames is difficult to control and without proper control, you can seriously injure somebody. Know when to fight your battles alright. Promise me this." Tsuna said with a serious expression.

"I promise." I left the place that's been my home for the last 10 months.

-Flashback End-

I open my eyes seeing the giant robot inching closer. Is this really the time to be using Hard Sky Flames? I shook my head. There's no way the teachers are going to let the students be in any real danger and using it now when I lack control would be a bad idea. Even though I wasn't going to be in my strongest form, I run forward, determined to protect the girl that was so kind to me, even if that kindness was only for a single moment; I will protect her.

Running past the girl I've sworn to protect, I took a mighty leap and flew towards the head of this beast of a robot, my baton filled DWF.

Taking a page out of my old friend's textbook of personal vocab, I screamed

"Die!" As I stabbed the throat area of the giant robot leaving behind a hole large enough for me to get inside while I began tearing apart it's insides left and right until there was nothing left of its head. With the head gone, the robot stopped functioning all together, now all I needed for it to do was fall backwards and ….

The robot started rumbling as it's body started to fall apart. Now that the robot has lost control, it didn't know how to support its own weight and started falling forwards.

Oh no. I thought as I quickly flew towards the fallen girl and picked up the ruble that was trapping her before. Both of us can only watch as the Robot was now less than a second away from crushing us. Thinking quickly, I grabbed the girl and activated Hard Sky Flames, not on my weapon but on my boots. Both of us flew backwards very quickly. I wasn't used to this kind of speed and it seems neither was the girl. We flew high into the air and to my horror, the effects of my Hyper Dying Will Mode ran out. I remained transformed for the full 10 minutes of the exam, I exceeded my time limit. Both of us were falling, I closed my eyes and braced for impact only for it to never come. Opening my eyes, the girl that I saved activated her quirk Zero Gravity, keeping us afloat mere inches away from the ground.

"Release." She said with a bit of effort and the both of us fall harmlessly to the ground. The next thing she did well … I quickly looked the other way as she released the contents of her stomach. I was just glad both of us came out of this alive.

Before I could have a chance to find more robots, the announcer screamed that the exam was over.

I could only sigh as I lamented over the fact that I only got a handful of points even with the head start.

Only 35 points … what a joke. I thoughtas I started to pack my things. Unknown to me, a panel of judges were grading me on my heroics for saving that girl, my hero points. One of the judges there smiled with pride and it was none other than All Might.

Midoriya Izuku

Villain Points: 35 Points

Hero Points: 35 Points

Grand Total: 70 points

U.A. Admission: Accepted

AN: Finally, Jesus Christ I'm done. This 1 chapter alone doubled the word count of the previous 3 chapters and for what, 1 or 2 chapters of content from the actual manga. I knew this one was going to be a doozy but not this much.

So yeah because I wrote so much, there is a lot to talk about. Let's start with the promise I made of how Midoriya is related to Vongola; of how it was going to be revealed in this chapter. The beautiful thing about KHR is that some things aren't really explained all that well when it comes to certain details. Like how the hell did all 3 of Timoteo's children die so easily. The third son was killed through "unknown circumstances." I'm not even making this up, look it up in KHR wiki page; the source of all my data/information that I use to write my story. I just slightly tweaked the canon and there you have it, Izuku is related to Vongola. I did the same thing with the experimentations of Mukuro and his gang of how it was an experiment to mix quirks and DWF as the experiment itself was never explained, only that they were experimented on. Nice little twist huh as Mukuro's eye power can be chalked up as a quirk.

Don't you think you made Izuku a little too strong this early into the story? Well I don't know how to explain this to you but the span of the entire KHR story is only 2 years. A good chunk of those 2 years was daily life to boot. 10 months immediately passes and it's nothing but pure training. Half of the plot of KHR experience can be chalked up into those 10 months.

How could you give Izuku Hyper Dying Will mode and Hard Sky Flames when he doesn't even have any of his/her Guardians yet? Well to be fair, when Tsuna first got Hyper Dying Will Mode, he didn't have all his Guardians yet either since you know, he was fighting 1 of them right then and there. As for Hard Sky Flames, he doesn't even know how to properly use it yet not until season 2 anyway. (wink wink) And besides not everyone needs to have the same starting line.

Vongola trial for those who need a reminder, needs the current boss to go through a near death experience. Can't get closer to death than getting blasted in the face by an extremely nerfed X-Burner. Speaking of Vongola Trial, how Izuku managed to active Hard Sky Flames is based on the scene in DBZ where Gohan turns super Saiyan 1 for the first time.

Why did I pick a baton/nightstick of all things to be Izuku's weapon? IDK, I needed something nonlethal for Izuku to be able to use. Swords and guns are a big nono in school setting after all. What about a bo staff or num-chuks or insert another weapon here. Don't judge me alright but I just think Izuku prefers simple 1 handed weapons that are fast and light weight. It's not as if it's a fork or anything. Moving on.

Some of you guys seem to have thought that Midoriya's dad was somebody specific. Sorry that was a red herring. The more important thing was his connection with Vongola, the reason behind why Izuku was born quirkless as well born with Sky Flames. He got it from his daddy. Ok I'll stop now.

This was a really long chapter so, sorry if I dropped the ball on a few details as in this case, it's more quantity than quality here. I highly doubt the next chapter is going to be nearly as long as this one.
