Hello everyone ! Here is chapter 14 (15 ?) Who knows ...
Anyway ! I'm glad a lot of you joined the discord ! I also thank Lil and Lagzal for becoming mods ! They are helping a lot (even if they don't believe it, they are compensating for my lazy ass)
Anyway, some of you seem frustrated about the pairing and the OOC, guys, it's a FANfiction, if this isn't what you are looking for we you are welcome to look at all the others (like we are reaching about 16 000 wtf, last year there was only 5000 when I started writing BNHA)
Don't take the above too seriously, I'm taking all your reviews in consideration and also taking suggestions. All of you on the discord really helped me to orientate what happens in this chapter, I ended up changing to story twice, and when I'm looking back at what I had done I'm like "lol it was so bad"
No review this time sorry ^^ I just received about 30 and that's way too much to include all of them in the chapter.
But to summarise, you are all complaining about the grammar, we guess what, it has improved by 42%
Also most of this chapter feels skipped, that's normal, I don't seen any reason to rewrite fights which already exist in the anime and do not bring anything interesting to the story.
Izuku came back to U.A. way earlier than he expected, he felt great, maybe too great. Sensei kept his promise, he gave back to Izuku all the quirks he had "owned" during the U.S.J. attack. In fact Izuku was surprised he didn't discreetly try to transmit anything else, Sensei wasn't greedy when it came to quirks, or at least Izuku had never seen this part of him but Sensei liked to "experiment" mostly by merging his quirks together and discovering the result.
Izuku didn't have much time to exercise, in fact none, however he might still have about ten minutes to find something to eat before the third event starts.
As he was running through the hallways he caught something very interesting.
"You did what ?!" He clearly recognised Shoto's voice.
"I rigged the bracket so you can annihilate this quirkless trash, the teachers helped me, they are on my side" and he clealry but not so joyfully recognised Endeavor's voice and despite how "interesting" their conversation was for once he would rather no have caught this one.
"No, no you are lying, and even if it's true I won't be part of any of your schemes" replied Shoto firmly.
A first silence followed by Endeavor's response "You will"
"No"
"... what kind of game are you playing at ?"
"Obviously not yours and never any"
"You-" Izuku heard Endeavour activating his quirk and a crack of ice ... then nothing just silence, he took a quick glance, Shoto had disappeared but the whole corridor was filled with ice, Endevaor had landed his fist on the ground and he was panting ... exhaustion ? Perhaps due to the ice.
Shoto didn't simply have a bad father, Endevaor looked and acted way too much like Katsuki, it was enough for Izuku to guess what Shoto had really been through.
So Endevaor made sure that Izuku would fight Shoto during the first round ? ... Shoto didn't sound like he would even try to win, as long as his father was involved in any kind of situation he would not get involved. Yet Izuku didn't manage to see this as a good thing, Shoto was impairing himself ...
Izuku tried to forget what he heard just for the next hour so he could rest a bit, once he got to the lunch area he found Ochaco sitting on a bench with Momo, she wasn't feeling good, anyone could see this.
"Ochaco ?" He called.
Momo stood up and went straight toward Izuku "wait- she- she isn't feeling weel"
Lie.
She isn't feeling well, she is hurt, something happened to Ochaco and somehow Momo was trying to keep Izuku away from the truth "What happened ?"
"Izuku it's not-" Momo was trying her best to keep everyone calm.
"It's nothing Izuku" Ochaco was right behind Momo, she was smiling as if nothing had happened a few seconds ago "I just felt sick for a moment but it's fine now, the food had a weird taste, I should probably point this out to Lunch Rush or ask him if that's suppose to happen"
"A-are you sure ? Ochaco of something happened I want to know-"
"I'm fine Izuku ! You should grab something to eat, the next event is about to start, we should go now, I don't want to be late" Izuku tried to reach Ochaco but she left too quickly, Momo tried to follow but this time Izuku caught her before she could follow Ochaco.
"What happened ?" It wasn't a question, more like an order to answer.
"... She- ... Katsuki tried to hurt her because she helped you during the events this morning"
He is a dead man.
Izuku didn't eat, he kept walking in circles, he didn't know what to do, Katsuki was a threat. He wanted to protect Ochaco, he should have been here to do so, he just left the school for about twenty minutes, he left her alone and it happened, probably the last thing he expected, he let his guard down.
The bracket had been showed to everyone, Ochaco's first fight was against Katsuki, how ironic. Soon it would be her turn, Momo asked Izuku to stay away from Katsuki as long as possible, he would simply make things worst if he reacted.
Useless, he isn't useless, he could annihilate Katsuki in a second if he wanted and-
Why did he have this kind of thoughts ?
Izuku shook his head and walked away from the locker room, as he left the room he almost bumped into Ochaco, what was she doing here ? She was supposed to go fight Katsuki.
"S-sorry !" She apologised
"It's fine, but what are you doing here ? It's going to be your turn soon"
"I know, let's walk to the arena then ... I was looking for you, I knew that Momo would told you or that you would learn soon enough"
"I'm going to kill him"
Ochaco stopped "... you- ... you aren't serious right ?"
"What if I am ? He went too far, he is dangerous, for ten years I have been the one to experience what he could do, if he tries to find another victim I won't hesitate, even if this is bad someone has to put an end to this"
"Izuku don't say that ! It's not you !"
"Ochaco, if he had hurted you for real, even slightly I- ... I don't know what I would have done then-"
"You feel responsible ?"
"... yes"
Ochaco blushed "I-Izuku I-
"No-No I shouldn't have said that- P-please forgive me just-just go and-" Izuku tried to get away but instead Ochaco grabbed- ... No, hugged him.
"I'm fine ..." Izuku didn't know how he should proceed at this point, hesitantly he hugged her back "Wish me good luck'" she asked before leaving.
"... wait !" Ochaco turned around one last time "K-Katsuki doesn't care about your quirk he will just try to attack you without defending use this as your advantage"
Ochaco smiled and gave Izuku a thumb up.
Ochaco walked inside the fighting area, she didn't want to go throught this, Katsuki stood in front of her, she saw his left hand twitching, he was impatient.
In fact she wanted to ask for Izuku's help but she felt too proud at the moment, now she regretted her decision. She turned around to wave at her friends, Momo and the other girls were cheering for her, now everyone in 1-A seemed to be aware about what happened.
Ochaco noticed Izuku, he was watching from one of the acces way behind her, he wasn't authorized to be here but it helped her, Izuku's presence was probably the thing she needed the most at the moment.
Izuku stayed away from the audience and his classmates, Ochaco was doing well, so far the fight looked balanced.
But of course Katsuki was more violent and aggressive than usual, he wasn't even trying to push Ochaco out of the fight area he just wanted to beat the crap out of her.
Ochaco had a strategy, Izuku seemed to be the only one noticing the debris above the stadium, Ochaco was really talented, she didn't miss any debris during the whole fight, she was letting Katsuki attack on purpose even if she was injuring and exhausting herself in the process.
The situation was terrible, Ochaco felt like Katsuki was just doing it for his own pleasure, he wasn't trying to win as fast as possible, he just wanted to hurt her for as long as possible.
"COMON GET CLOSER SO I CAN SMASH YOU INTO PIECES !" His grin, this sadistic grin, she feared it, probably more than Katsuki himself.
But she was ready, she brought her hands together and released ... at the same time she thought about something, a stupid idea, what of instead of waiting she attacked Katsuki right now ? Of course she would definitely get hurt but Katsuki would never be able to defend himself from both her and a rain of stones.
So she lunged at him, Katsuki was surprised, he had brought his hand above him to trigger an explosion and disperse the stone rain, Ochaco managed to press her hand against his torso, he was now affected by her quirk.
She didn't stop here, she grabbed Katsuki's suit to bring him closer from her, at such a range he couldn't use his quirk without hurting himself now it was her turn to attack, with her free hand she grabbed him by the throat and slammed his body against the ground.
The crowd cheered with excitement, Ochaco grabbed Katsuki again and this time she threw him away from the fighting area, she was about to released her quirk when Katsuki triggered another explosion, he couldn't control his trajectory but it was enough to ot completely get out of bounds.
Ochaco was too far to attack now she made a mistake, perhaps she would have won if she threw him away first.
"YOU BITCH ! I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU !" Katsuki felt humiliated, he wouldn't let this pass, no this time.
Ochaco couldn't move, fear had taken over her body, in a flash Katsuki triggered another explosion and he was now right in front of her ready to land a punch in her face.
She fell on the ground, Katsuki grabbed her again and punched Ochaco in the face once again. He repeated the same process over and over again. Her quirk didn't have any effect anymore, she had lost all kind of concentration.
Ochaco's vision became all blurry ... she tried to find Midnight or Cementos ... what was happening ? Were they just staring ? ...
Izuku was horrified, Ochaco didn't deserve that, Midnight and Cementos weren't even trying to stop Katsuki.
"SEE ? WHO IS THE BOSS NOW !" He yelled as he kept taking pleasure from the girl's pain.
He is going to kill him, Izuku used all the quirks he had at the moment, speed enhancement, strength enhancement, shock absorption ... All for One.
It didn't even take a second, Katsuki barely felt his head being grabbed, slammed and rubbed against the ground. The roles were inverted, now he was the one being constantly punched in the face, he tried to activate his quirk ... nothing ?!
"STOP ! CEMENTOS DO SOMETHING !" Yelled Midnight.
The pro hero didn't waste much time, in a second Izuku was stuck in a wave of cement and so was Katsuki.
Midnight ran toward them, Katsuki seemed unconscious, his face was a mess "ARE YOU CRAZY ?! YOU ARE DISQUALI-"
"OH AM I ? IT ONLY TOOK FIVE SECOND TO STOP ME FROM DEFENDING OCHACO BUT WHILE SHE WAS BEING SAVAGELY BEATEN BY KATSUKI YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO INTERVENE ?" Yelled back Izuku in his anger, interrupting Midnight bu the same occasion.
Midnight showed her teeth in anger "Cementos bring him out ! Send to other to the infirmary now !"
"Inko what's happening ?" Present Mic stopped talking, since the last thirty minutes he only stopped during the advertisement, now he just stopped as if something really important happened.
"I-Izuku he-he" under the shock of what just happened Inko had troubles to simply find the strength to vocalise her words.
"What ?! Take your time if you need but tell me !' All for One was standing up, Inko could hear him breath through his mask.
"Th-they dis-disqualified him !"
...
"THEY DID WHAT ?!" in his anger All for One broke a wall and smashed a chair on the ground, Inko didn't care, if she was as physically strong as him she would be doing the same.
Izuku was being dragged away by Cementos, they finally stopped once they were away from the section of the school which had been prepared for the festival.
"The principal will hear about this ! No in fact he probably already saw evrything ! For now don't you dare come back, if you do I'm arresting you myself"
The cement around Izuku collapsed, and Cementos headed back towars the stadium ... Izuku was utterly shocked, Katsuki was the only one responsible ! He didn't do anything ! This guy is nothing, not a hero, nothing ! He should just take away his quirk and- ...
He closed his right hand ...
Ochaco ! What about her ? She must be at the infirmary now ! Izuku went in the opposite direction. He reached the infirmary soon enough, Ochaco was probably here already.
Once he arrived he didn't bother to knock at the door before entering, in fact Recovery Girl was already waiting for him, she looked annoyed.
"Calm down she is fine"' Ochaco was laying in a bed, her face was mostly covered in bbandages"it isn't severe, thanks to you ... if you didn't stop him then it would have been worse, or even irreparable"
Izuku was relieved "Thank you for taking care of her" he bowed respectively.
Recovery Girl didn't have any reaction, instead she stared at Ochaco "... Sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face in front of my patients ... I'm a healer, and what's terrible with this job is that I can't heal everything, eventually it's already too late because a hero couldn't make it in time. I was watching from here, when I saw the other contestants grabbing her with such ... anger I knew it was about to be terrible" she looked at Izuku "Don't listen to them, you did what was right, they are the idiots, they didn't have the right to disqualify you"
Izuku remembered now, indeed he was disqualified ... for a moment he was on the verge of crying but then another though pushed away the pain, a single tear ran down his face. At least Ochaco was fine, the rest didn't matter.
"... where is-"
"I won't accept him, they are keeping him somewhere else, I may have accepted every stupid medical treaty but important still open minded enough to make the difference between someone who needs to be healed and someone who deserves to be healed"
Now that explained why Katsuki wasn't here.
"... I really ruined everything but I guess it was worth the cost, I don't think I would have been able to forgive myself if she got hurt"
"You expected this to happen didn't you ?"
"He attacked her before the event, when I learnt that she would be against him I knew Katsuki would use this opposite to hurt her"
"Did he now ?! But why didn't she come and told one of the teatchers ?"
"She- ... she probably wanted to prove that she was strong and-" the door of the infirmary opened, I was- "Shoto ?"
"I gave up" stated the teen as he sat next to Izuku.
"... why ? You could have continued and probably win the festival !"
"What would be the point ? I decided to boycott this festival, kind of, you were right to defend Ochaco,. Midnight and Cementos wouldn't move and Katsuki might have enjoyed this for a whole minute before anyone tries to stop him"
Shoto took out his phone and checked a bunch of social network, he was already in the top of the tendencies, well by "he" he meant Endeavor who was being swarmed by questions from the journalists, he smiled, he had never seen the old bastard that angry before.
"... I heard your conversation with your- Endevaor I mean, did you really intend to simply let me win ?"
"Of course, if you were to fight me in a legitimate way I would give evrything I have but if the competition is rigged there is no point" Shoto chuckled and so did Izuku. "But don't you think In not curious, I really want to see what you can do one day"
"Alright, let's do this some day" Izuku rubbed the back of his head "You know ... I just went out to- uh, speak with a friend before the last event, he gave me some help but now I feel like everything I have achieved today has been useless"
"Maybe ... I'm going back with the others, you want to join me ?"
"No, I will stay with Ochaco, have fun ... I guess ?"
"If only, see you later" Shoto left the infirmary.
Recovery girl came back from the other room of the infirmary with a glass of water "Drink up, it will help"
Izuku grabbed the glass and started to drink but he immediately stopped when he realised that what he assumed to be water at first had an acid taste "W-What is that ?!" He asked confused by Recovery Girl's attempt at poisoning him.
"Vitamins ! Depression is probably the worst thing which can happen to a young man like you !"
"I'm not depressed ! And-and what's the link with vitamins ? How is that supposed to help ?"
"Depends if you believe or not that it does help ... She won't be waking up yet, and I do not think that she would appreciate to learn immediately what happened once she does, just go on a walk or go find something to eat"
"Are you throw in me out ?"
"Yes" the old lady stared at Izuku wielding her can in her hand as some sort of anti stress ball ... what was even going on at this point ? In the end it was probably not vitamins in that glass of water. Anyway he had barely opened the door that he found himself face to face with about the whole class 1-A.
"Surprise !" They cheered.
"G-guys but- aren't you supposed to-"
"We all decided to follow Shoto's example" stated Momo leading the class, if only she knew why Shoto really left the stadium as he was about to fight "It's so unfair ! So we wanted to prepare a little surprise and also-" Momo stared at Koji who was holding something covered by someone's uniform.
"Uh ? Oh sorry" he removed the uniform to reveal a small trophy "tadaaaaaaa"
""it's-it's-" Izuku was speechless"
"I made It on my way here with-uh-" Kyoka took over "Let's just say it's a small gift from all of us ... well mostly all of us"
Izuku cried "Thank you ! Really thank you ! You shouldn't have that's too good !"
Hanta had even used someone his tape to make a ruban around the small cup, and Izuku guesses that it was Kirishima who used his quirk to add his name on the cup, he had also written "For the top of the top in 1-A"
Tsuyu moved out from the group "How is Ocha ?"
"Recovery Girl said she was fine, but she needs some rest ... I was about to go out and- ... well now you are here so- W-what should I do ?"
"Tenya left earlier, apparently something important happened, perhaps we should all get back home and rest until tomorrow, it has been a long day and I'm almost sure that if we stay any longer the teatchers are going to put the blame on us"
Izuku stopped smiling "... what's happening now that most of you left the stadium ?"
Momo suddendly seemed akward "W-well ... with you Shoto and Tenya leaving the last event had already been very shortened but if you include me and Fumikage it just keeps getting worse"
"Can we get straight to the point ?"
"A- ... A lot of pro heroes left the stadium during the event, I'm not sure why exactly but- ... for now the teatchers are dealing with the medias and what I'm suggesting is that we should leave the school before we get caught into this mess"
Izuku saw that the other students were exchanging whispers "L-lool just go, don't wait for me, I'll stay here, I have some things to finish first. I will be fine"
Mineta emerged from the group and smirked "Are you sure you don't want to do things to Ochako while-" Usually it would have been one of the girls who would take care of Mineta but this time Denki decided to take care of the situation himself.
"Yehhhhhhhhhhhhh..." he almost collapsed on the ground but Mezo caught him while he was falling.
"Welll ... have a nice afternoon Midoriya" Momo bowed, izuku knew her family was VERY wealthy and he assumed this was a thing with rich people so he tried to do the same ... this felt very akward.
Three hours later.
After changing and picking back his belongings from the locker room Izuku asked Recovery Girl if he could stay, he explained or rather tried to explained what Momo reported earlier about the whole situation with the pros and how the last event ended up being a disaster.
"It's- it's not my fault right ?"
"You asked this about seven times now, you should really breath boy ! Everything is fine and if there was a real problem involving you Nedzu would already be here and-" a phone rang.
Izuku and Recovery Girl stared at each others before Chiyo picked it up "Recovery Girl's infirmary yes ? ... oh ! I apologise, I wanted to call you directly but I didn't have your number, evrything is fine ... yes nothing severe, your daughter is resting, I gave her enough to be back on her feet tomorrow ... hum ? Oh uh" Chiyo looked at Izuku and smiled "Yes I know him !" Izuku guessed that she was talking with Ochaco's parent and immediately gestured for Recovery Girl to not attempt something he had no intention to do himself "Yes ... I'll tell him, if you need to ask anything call me again ... yes I'll make sure that she calls you when she wakes up ... have a good night too sir"
"S-so ?"
"Her parents asked if she was okay and if I knew the boy who "saved" her, apparently you are a "boyfriend"-"
"I-I'M NOT !"
"And they also asked me to tell the said "boyfriend" that he had all their respect and gratitude for helping their daughter"
"They ... they did ?"
"You just witnessed the whole conversation" Izuku did witness the whole conversation but he didn't hear it, there was still the probability that it was in fact Nedzu talking with Recovery Girl and that she wa simply repeating a premade scrip ... he needed some rest.
"I should go home now and-" he didn't check his phone since the end of the event, with a shaking hand he took it out from his backpack and saw that he missed about 17 calls "oh no ... I'm dead !" Izuku ran out of the infirmary.
Recovery Girl resisted the urge to laught, the boy reminded her so much of a certain blond boy who used to study at U.A.
In fact Izuku had missed three calls from his mother and fourteen from All for One, but he received one message asking him to go to the "usual place" which meant the park.
By the time he reached the park it was already about 7 PM, he tried to call his mother but she wasn't responding, he saw Sensei's bench but he wasn't here ...
"Izuku Midoriya" it was Sensei's voice but Izuku didn't know from where it was coming "You managed to get disqualified from the last event when you were on a winning streak, I gave you enough power to win without lifting a single finger, you stupidly decided to help a girl knowing it was, as I just said, a stupid idea, you broke by yourself a national event, and..."
Izuku felt a hand on this shoulder.
"I'm probably the proudest man in the world for having such a wonderful student"
Izuku turned around, Sensei was smiling, he couldn't see but he simply knew it.
"You believed that what you were doing was right and you never stopped, you showed everyone you were stronger than them, both in raw strength and mind ... and you also managed to put the heroes in serious troubles with the medias"
Izuku looked at All for One with a gray and stern face "the last part wasn't necessary"
"I bet you thought I was mad at you, why would I be ? You overcame all my expectations ! Let's go home, your mother is making Katsudon, and no don't worry she isn't-" Izuku and All for One both felt the activation of a quirk, Izuku didn't have the time to react but Sensei did, he didn't identify their assailant but he knew clearly their position
All for One deviated the attack, an explosion quirk, he used the resulting smoke to get away, he couldn't be seen with Izuku but if his protege ended up being in trouble he would definitely intervene.
"I found you ! You piece of shit ! You are going to pay for that !"
When Izuku stood up he felt another attack coming, he could barely see so All for One was helping a lot to orient himself. He did have any doubt, it was Katsuki. He used his speed enhancement quirks to regain his balance and move away from him.
"DON'T MOVE ! SO I CAN BURN YOUR QUIRKLESS FACE !"
izuku knew the law he couldn't use quirks to defend himself, but he was "quirlkless", using his strength enhancement he detached a nearby bench and used it as a weapon to push back Katuski throught the smoke.
After a few seconds the dust cleared "What is wrong with you ?!" Yelled Izuku.
"You have to pay for this ! Because of you and this round face bitch the last event got cancelled ! First you steal my unique place at U.A. then the top of the entrance exam and now you humiliat me in front of all the pros ! I'm going to disfigurement you and trust me after that no one will want you to exist ! And guess what ?! It's just like before, you know what I have here ? No witness"
Izuku chuckled, then he laughed, his laugh was wrong and he knew it, but he didn't care. While Katsuki was staring at him in confusion Izuku simply whispered "Me neither"
Izuku cleared the distance between him and Katsuki in a second, shock absorption combined with strength enhancement turned his fist into a canon ball, he wouldn't like to be Katsuki right now. Surprisingly enough he was still conscious after talking a full blow.
Katsuki didn't seem too surprised, he tried to use an explosion to propel his own fist but it was useless, it just stopped went it encountered Izuku's face.
Izuku grabbed his arm and repeatedly smashed Katsuki's against the ground like a whip, he was taking pleasure doing this, he was ...
He stopped, Katsuki was unconscious ... when Izuku saw what he had done he felt sick, just a moment ago he felt invincible, way about Katsuki, it wasn't wrong but ... for a moment he was just like what he hated the most. Izuku felt a burning sensation in his right hand ... red lightings, circling around it, All for One was active, did he do that unconsciously ?
All for One reappeared in front of him clapping his hands "Well executed ! You could have ended this sooner but your intention was too kill him so this is technically justifiable"
"I- ... I didn't mean to go so far"
"And how far did you intended to ?" Izuku look at All for One then back at Katsuki "We- ... we should call someone and-"
"I already took care of calling an ambulance, I pretended that he was attacked by a villain and I also made sure that there was no CCTV around this place ... in fact I did a long time ago, anyway ... you should probably give back your quirks for now th-"
"The police could ask question if Katsuki decides to testify about what happened, if I'm "quirkless" they can't accuse me ... sorry I completed"
All for One walked next to Izuku "... You can stop now, you aren't going to take his quirk right? "
"Uh ?"
"Your hand"
All for One was still active, Izuku shook his hand as if it was going to help to get rid of it but Sensei grabbed it, izuku felt the quirks being transferred.
"Leave him here, I think he has done enough damage here, how about you tell me evrything about your day at the festival while we walk ?"
One day later
"Izuku Midoriya, after the recent incident during the sport festival, you will be suspended for the next two weeks, you won't be attending classes and there is no need to recover your delay as there is an hight probability that you will be switching classes" Izuku didn't expect this when he opened the letter.
