I do not own My Hero Academia or Harry Potter
Chapter 32
All Might stood there blindly staring down the hall, his heart rate skyrocketed. Fear, anxiety, adrenaline, and everything between courses within him… "All for One." He said the villain's name aloud… catching their attention in the act.
All for One sharply turned his head; he knew that voice anywhere. His own adrenaline spiked as his vision focused on All Might. He could see the alarm, agitation, and confusion in his eyes. "All Might." He repeated the name slowly… both men grasped what was coming next.
Izuku, unaware of what was about to happen, started walking towards All Might. "Toshi! I didn't expect to see you so soon." They parted ten minutes ago, and during that time, she bumped into Kuro. A sinking feeling filled her stomach as she took another step forward, 'Is he okay?' He was shaking. "I think now is a good opportunity," She quickly glanced back at Kuro, "Sensei, I'd like you to meet~" She never completed her sentence. Kuro seized her by the back of her shirt and threw her behind him. It took mere seconds before a furious All Might was upon them, he threw his fist towards Kuro, who caught it.
"YOU!" All Might shouted. Without thinking, he promptly reached around All for One and grabbed Izuku. He pulled her away from Kuro. As he got her out of harm's way. In a brief moment, he was punched and went flying down the hallway. As he went gliding backward, he grasped a pipe sticking out of the ceiling. "You should be dead! I killed you!" All Might's voice was laced with rage and agony.
Lifting off the ground, Kuro flew down the hall towards All Might, his arm became massive. Bolts, flesh, and loose sheets of metal shot out of All for One's arm. "You killed nothing!" Their fists collided, sending a massive wave of wind down the narrow hallway. The ceiling started to crack. On the outside of the stadium, everyone felt a slight shake. It was quickly written off as an earthquake.
Aizawa looked around, "What was that?" Something felt wrong. 'That doesn't feel like a normal earthquake.'
Back in the hallway, Izuku ducked as shrapnel flew down the hall. A few pieces of stone became embedded in her hand. "Ah!" She grabbed her bleeding hand and stood up. "What are you guys doing!? All Might!? Sensei, stop!"
The blond briefly looked over towards Izuku. "Midoriya! Run, NOW!" His fist came into contact with All for One's face, breaking the man's nose. All for One pulled his left arm back and transformed it into a silver blade, he pierced All Might's shoulder, the knife going straight through.
"Agh!" Grabbing the blade, he violently ripped it out. It was hard for either of them to move because of their suits.
"You'll pay dearly for grabbing her," Kuro stated with a sadistic grin. He felt a pair of tiny hands clutch his arm.
Izuku was pulling him, "What did you do!? Stop! Why are you guys fighting!?" Both Toshinori and Kuro slapped their hands on the other's face, while simultaneously reaching for Izuku.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Toshinori attempted to grab Izuku, he was struck with fear. She was about to be touched by All for One, he needed to get her away. Just before the two grabbed her, a yellow blur hit her in the stomach, transporting her to the end of the hall. The instant she was out of harm's way, the two went back to fighting. Grabbing each other, they went through the wall into an adjacent room.
Izuku coughed as she sat up, "Hiko-san!?" The old man heard the commotion from down the hall.
Sorahiko looked over at the wall, "What happened!? Damn it! They weren't supposed to meet!" He was out of breath. They could hear them fighting in the next room, clearly destroying everything inside.
Grabbing his hand, Izuku looked concerned and petrified, "What's going on!? Why are they fighting? We have to~"
"Stay here, kid; it's far too dangerous!" With that, he bounced down the hall, but before he could jump through the hole in the wall, he was forced back. An invisible force had grabbed his body, and he went sailing back to Izuku. Returning to his original location, he noticed her wand was out, and the tip was glowing. "Damn it, kid! Now's not the time!" It was times like this, he cursed magic.
"What is going on!?"
Sorahiko clenched his teeth and struggled to move, "I don't have time to explain kid, you have to let me go now!"
Looking uncertain, she twirled her wand, "Ugh! Alright! Just get me in there so I can freeze them!" Sorahiko looked confused before he had an intense flashback to his encounter with All for One.
'Crap! That's probably the only way.' Touching the ground, he bounced off the wall before grabbing Izuku from behind. The two flew down the hallway into the next room and saw All Might and Kuro fighting… they were both a bloody mess.
All Might was bleeding from his shoulder, and there were lacerations across his body. He coughed a bit before glaring across the room, "I don't know how you got in here, but you'll be leaving in chains All for One." He wiped a bit of blood from his mouth.
Kuro was just in the process of getting off the ground, "And you'll be leaving in a body bag All Might." They bolted at each other and started hitting their fists together. Izuku winced as she heard their fists come in contact with one another, it sounded painful.
Gran Torino looked between Izuku and the two men, "What the hell are you waiting for!? Freeze them!" The two were so focused on fighting they didn't hear anything. They suddenly started jumping around the room at an ungodly speed. "KID!?"
Izuku was moving her arm around, her face was contorted, "They're moving too fast! If I stop them at their current speed, it could snap their necks." The Immobulus spell, while useful, was prone to cause intense whiplash if the object is moving too fast. "We need to get them away before someone hears." She noticed All Might heading straight for the wall, "Spongify!" A green slime blasted out of her wand and embedded itself into the wall. Once he slammed into it, he simply bounced off onto the ground. It felt like he'd hit a soft pillow.
Glancing over, All Might regarded Izuku and Torino, "Torino! Get her out of here, now!" He sounded furious. Lifting his arm up, he rammed it into the ground… causing the entire floor to collapse. Unbeknownst to the four, the room they were in was situated above the central heating chamber.
As the four fell quickly towards the ground, Izuku gripped her wand, "Aresto Momentum!" Just before they hit the ground, they stopped in mid-air. Sorahiko glanced at Izuku with a confused expression.
'Since when can she do that?' He didn't know a lot about magic and what spells existed.
Once they touched the ground, the two grown men went back to fighting. Kuro stepped back and held his hand out, black sparks were escaping from him, "I was assuming this would abide till Monday, but it seems like that is no longer an opportunity." He glanced to his right and noticed Izuku had fallen into the room with them, "Midoriya leave, now!"
A fist collided with his head, and he went soaring into a gas valve, All Might was shaking as blood poured from his lips, "Leave her out of this." hitting the pipe, the sparks that had left Kuro immediately ignited the fumes. Flames consumed Toshinori and Kuro.
Izuku swiftly placed her wand out as she kneeled next to Gran Torino, "Protego!" A blue shield materialized in front of them, the flames from the explosion filled the room. The building shook, but still, people mistook it for an aftershock. If it were a villain, they'd clearly see… right?
Sorahiko watched the flares from the explosion pass over them; they were encompassed in a blue shield. When the flames stopped, they saw All Might slam into the ceiling. What immediately caught Izuku's attention was his naked chest… the fire had destroyed his dress shirt. Glancing over to where Kuro was she saw him ripping off his own shirt, it was on fire. His right pant leg was also gone, along with his shoe.
Throwing his shirt to the side, Kuro sneered, "Is that all you can do? Even after all these years, you're still weak." Bending his knees, he lunged towards All Might.
All Might, who'd dug his hand into the ceiling, glared as his nemesis advanced towards him. Jumping, he did something… unexpected. When they were half-way to each other, he moved his arm to the side, and a black whip shot out of his wrist. Izuku watched in awe as the whip gripped a pipe to his right, and he pivoted around it once, building his momentum, before slamming his foot into Kuro's chest. "You clearly underestimate me."
Landing on his feet, Kuro still looked unimpressed, "Oh, is that so?" Slamming his arm into the ground, his arm turned black. All Might jumped away as black spikes emerged from the ground. But they didn't stop there, he had to quickly dodge them as they pursued him.
Just before one of the spikes hit him, they collapsed into the ground. Off to the side, Kuro was hit in the back of the head by Gran Torino, "This isn't the deal you idiot!"
Kuro gritted his teeth before flicking the old man aside, "I agreed I wouldn't harm you… or her. If you yearn to join All Might, then stay out of my way." Flying across the ground, he came upon Toshinori, giving him an uppercut to the jaw.
The blond went rushing back but stopped mid-air. Toshinori growled as he channeled his quirk, "You're going to pay for what you've done." Again, Izuku was in awe as she watched All Might… he was floating in mid-air.
Izuku shook her head, "W~when… since when can All Might fly?" She watched him glide towards Kuro and seize his neck before twirling around, he slams him into the ground. It didn't take long for Kuro to escape All Might's grasp and land a few grave punches. Izuku knew she had to stop them, but she couldn't think. All she wanted was to introduce the two, and now here they were, in the stadium's boiler room, fighting half-naked. She shook her head, "Alright, I'm ending this." She pointed her wand forwards before twirling it over her head.
Toshinori and Kuro were gripping each other's fists while pushing each other across the floor, similar to sumo-wrestlers. Toshinori snapped as he tried to crush Kuro's hands, "You should be dead! I destroyed your head!"
Kuro gave his own snarl, "And I took your organs." Just before they could say anything else, a blue flame darted between their faces. They soon heard a roaring sound coming alongside them. Both men turned their heads and noticed a cloud of fire encircle them. To the side, they could see Izuku spinning her wand. They pushed off each other, as flaming rocks shot at them. "Little one! Stop!" The two men, who were just fighting, stood shoulder to shoulder as they watched the blue flames twirl faster. They were trapped inside a sphere of fire.
Toshinori used his forearm to cover his face, "Midoriya!" He could see her at the edge, orchestrating these flames of destruction. Outside the sphere, Sorahiko watched in both fear and awe at Izuku's power… it was incredible.
Kuro and Toshi simultaneously took a step back as their eyes widened, the flames converged to form a screeching phoenix. There was nowhere to run, and they couldn't jump through the fire, it was unfathomably hot. The flames encircling them slowed down, but they were still trapped. Izuku stopped waving her wand and looked around; the sphere of fire was still spinning.
The two grown men watched the green-haired witch walk slowly towards them, neither of them moved even though they were side-by-side. Both were panting, trying to control the breathing as Izuku stood right in front of them. Neither attempted to move or speak, in fear of the phoenix made of flames circling around them.
Toshinori timidly put his hands out, expecting Izuku would calm down, "I~izuku?"
She gritted her teeth and glared at both of them, "Shut up!" She hissed out. "You two will stop fighting this instant. Or so help me, I will cast the Cruciatus curse on both of you." Toshinori and Kuro slowly turned to look at each other. They gave each other a snarled expression, but neither moved. They were both beaten to a pulp and bleeding profusely. Izuku cleared her throat, "Now, you are both going to stop and go straight to Recovery Girl's office. If either one of you throws another punch, kick, or anything in-between…" flicking her wand. Both Toshinori and Kuro gripped their hands as blue flames consumed it. The pain was unbearable. Soon enough, the fire disappeared from their hands… there wasn't a scratch on them. No burn marks or melting flesh.
Shakenly, the two grown men, looked at each other, uncertain of what to do. Kuro took a small step forward, "Midoriya?" he paused when he saw the end of Izuku's wand poking his naked chest.
"Not another word. From either of you." Turning, she waved her wand vertically, the firestorm split, leading a path to the stairs. Flicking her wand again, a brief opening appeared, and they saw Sorahiko timidly walk into the firestorm. Once the three men were assembled, they cautiously followed Izuku down the hallway of flames. Toshinori and Kuro were panting and giving each other side glances… was this really happening?
Reaching the door to the stairwell, she turned around, words couldn't describe how terrifying she looked. "You two are going to march up these stairs and wait in Recovery Girl's office. I am going to stay here and fix this mess." The flames disappeared, and the room was back to normal. "When I get up there, if you are fighting, I will make both of you wish you'd never been born, now go!" She swung her arm and pointed to the door. Slowly, very slowly, they moved as Sorahiko opened the door. He was just as terrified as the other two, he never knew Izuku was capable of such anger. Walking through the door, Toshi and Kuro looked at each other in rage and some other unexplained emotion. They wanted nothing more than to attack each other, but they didn't want to face Izuku's wrath. As they walked up the stairs, Izuku turned and started fixing the room.
(Three Minutes Later, Hallway)
Currently, Toshinori, Kuro, and Sorahiko walked silently down the hallway. The silence was unbearable as the two broken men glared at each other. No one spoke in fear of another fight breaking out. Here they were, two mortal enemies, forced to walk side-by-side into the nurse's office. The air could be cut with a knife.
When they reached Recovery Girl's office, the old woman turned and noticed the two broken men who looked like they'd been to war. "Dear Lord, What happened to you two!?" Who was the man next to All Might anyways? Nobody spoke as they stepped into the room… and… silence. There was nothing but silence as All Might and All for One glared at each other. It was strange to see the other standing so still and not attack. The office door slammed open, and they were greeted with a red-faced witch.
"Sit. Now." Izuku pointed to the beds off towards the side. When they didn't move, she pulled her wand out and flicked it, sending both men across the room into the beds. They quickly sat up and resumed glaring at each other, they were waiting for the other to strike.
Recovery Girl shook her head, "What happened!?" She went over and locked the door to the office.
Izuku walked near the edge of their beds and glared, "Hiko-san… Recovery Girl… Wait outside, please." The two old souls looked confused before they caught Izuku's fiery gaze, "I said, get out!" The tip of her wand illuminated, and furniture around the room lifted off the ground. Neither wanting to face her wrath, Sorahiko and Recovery Girl promptly exited the room. For the first time, Sorahiko was utterly terrified of Izuku… to think the little girl he knew was capable of such rage.
When they left, she turned back to Kuro and Toshi. "What is going on?!" Neither spoke… they were too enraged to speak. "Okay…" She took a deep breath and pointed to Toshinori, "You first. What is going on?" He opened his mouth, but she held up a finger, "And please know Toshi… you are on thin ice with me. So choose your words carefully." When it came to her friends fighting, her rage knew no bounds.
"I… I~" He looked confused and angry, "How do you know him?" He winced and gripped his shoulder.
Izuku shook her head, "Neither of you are getting healed until I know what's going on." Snapping her finger, a chair pulled up, and she immediately sat down, "All Might… this is Sensei. Why did you attack him?"
The blond immediately started hyperventilating, "H~he… you're Sensei!?" He turned and glared at All for One. He spun back to Izuku, "This is the guy you've been talking too!?" He was shaking in rage. This wasn't happening, it couldn't be happening. 'No! NO! NO! It's impossible!' There was no way his little doe was… was… friends with All for One. He'd rather be killed by Gran Torino than hear this.
All for One snarled, "Will you stop your senseless shouting?" All Might immediately gripped the rim of his bed and leaned out, he was about to jump and tackle him. He twisted the metal support.
Izuku cleared her throat, "Sensei, when I say you can speak, I'll let you know. Until then… shut up. Trust me, you're in just as much trouble." Kuro and Toshi felt like little kids being yelled at by their furious mother.
Toshinori was shaking, "How do you two know each other? What did you do to her, you monster?" He coughed some blood into his hands, he needed medical attention.
"All Might, I met Sensei years ago on my trip back from Hogwarts. I was walking through an alley next to my apartment. I found him against the wall, on the verge of death, and if it wasn't for my potion, I'm pretty sure he would have died. Why did you attack him?" This was all spiraling into hell.
"He's a monster! He's a vi~"
"A villain, I know." She watched Toshinori clench his jaw, he was furious and confused. "I know he's a villain because he told me."
"W~what!? You knew!?"
"Yes, and quite frankly, I don't care that he's a villain. He's been nothing but kind to me. And I want to make this clear Toshi, he's not going to Tartarus. If you attack him again, I will leave you and wipe all your memories." That statement broke him. He was angry, confused, and scared, nothing was making sense.
Kuro leaned forward, his shaking was just as bad as All Might's, "Y~you'll… leave him?" He didn't want to believe what he'd heard.
Izuku rubbed her head, "Ugh! It was already bad with what I had to tell you both, now this? Merlin, why me? Sensei… I'm dating Toshi. We started dating two days ago." Pulling out her wand, she had to bind Kuro to the bed as he snarled like a savage mutt.
'NO! I won't let that bastard take my little one! I should have kissed her when I had the chance.' He tried to get up, but it was hopeless.
"One of you tell me, how do you know each other!?" They kept avoiding her question.
"He's the one who destroyed my side… He took Nana from me!" Smoke escaped Toshi's mouth.
Kuro fought his restraints, "And you took my Midoriya, I'll slaughter you like the pig you are." That comment broke Toshinori's fragile mind.
Leaping across the bed, He tried to punch All for One, but froze mid-air. "Sit!" He was forced back into his bed, he was snarling just like Kuro. Izuku didn't know what to do. Here she was, keeping two fully grown men, bound to their bed while they snarled at each other like two furious alphas.
"You're Midoriya?" All Might demanded, "You'll have to kill me before I let you lay a finger on her."
Kuro scoffed, "Then I'm thrilled to inform you I've slept with her, so it seems your little threat means nothing."
"W~WHAT!?" All Might was using all his strength to get up. Izuku went and sat down on the side of his bed.
"It wasn't sexual Toshi, I need you to calm down."
"Kill him, I'll fuck kill him for touching you!" His heart was flooded with jealousy.
"Well, you're gonna have to get used to it, so stop it!" Both Kuro and Toshinori stopped their struggling and looked at Izuku. The room was quiet, besides their panting. "Okay, I was going to tell you both this on Saturday, and I'm not going to wait because it will only cause more problems." She was about to let loose another train into an already disastrous train wreck, "You both are my soulmates." The silence was unbearable. Looking at the two, she waited for that statement to process, "There is a phenomenon caused by magic, known as soulmates. I'm certain you both know what a soulmate is." She noticed the two glaring at each other, "I know this isn't fair for either of you, and I feel like a hypocrite for saying this Toshi, but you have to share me with him." She nodded her head to Kuro.
"N~no! You're not some whore! I won't share you! Not even for a second! You're mine!" He injured himself as he attempted to grab her.
Kuro, for a brief second, broke through Izuku's magic and grabbed the poor girl. He went flying back to his bed, Izuku trapped in his arms. He embraced her as he trembled in rage, "You're mine, little one. Mine! You don't need that giant idiot! I'm all you need!" His red eyes were glowing.
"Let go of her, you bastard!" Toshinori's nails dug into his palms, "Midoriya, let me go now!" He was going to kill All for One.
Izuku shook her head, "Will you both stop!." Using her magic, she forced Kuro back into the bed. He was trying to reach out and grab her. Her stomach tingled as she stood back up, "I swear I'm dealing with children." After summoning her bag, she pulled out the prophecy ball.
"What do you mean, we're soulmates?" Kuro gritted out.
"It's an unexplainable force of magic that binds two, or in this case, three people together. It's not something that any of us choose; it's just a natural cycle that was dictated long before any of us were born." She held up the crystal ball, "I know this is a lot to lay on you right now, but since this is already a terrible train wreck of a meeting, it's best we get it over with." Waving her hand, the prophecy played before them. Both men cautiously sat up and looked at each other with their usual glares.
Kuro snarled as blood poured from the corners of his mouth, "Are you telling me… I… I have to share you with this… this idiot!?" His formal demeanor was gone.
Toshinori was struggling in his bed, "You aren't going to lay a finger on her! I don't care what that thing says!" He refused to share Midoriya with this beast. 'This is a nightmare, I'm going to wake up in my bed, and it'll all be over.'
Sighing, Izuku sat down and waited patiently for the two to stop struggling. Eventually, they grew tired, "All Might… Sensei… We don't get a choice in this. Since you both are my soulmates, that means you have to stop fighting."
Kuro scoffed at the idea, "And if we don't? I'd sooner kill him then I can have you to myself." He smiled upon seeing her blush.
"I~if you don't stop, then I'll slip into a coma and die." For the first time, they stopped struggling. Toshinori had to shake his head to make sure he heard correctly.
"You'll what?"
She continued her speech, "And if I die… both of you will slowly lose your sanity and kill yourselves."
Kuro frowned, "More of a reason to cut this loose end."
She glared at him, "And if either of you dies, then I'll follow not long after."
Toshinori clenched his teeth, "So... if I kill him... you die?"
Slowly she nodded her head, "Yes. Now, while that sinks in… please… please, one of you, just tell me, what's going on between you?" It was apparent they knew each other, which was an utter surprise on her end.
Calming himself down, Kuro sat up and scowled at All Might, "Do you remember when I said I killed that old man's friend?"
Izuku slowly nodded her head and watched All Might shake, "Yes… it was an accident."
Toshinori sneered, "Accident?! You murdered her in cold blood, you monster! She was like a mother to me."
Scoffing again, Kuro shook his head, "Or so you've told yourself. I didn't kill her on purpose, you fool. After you escaped, I realized her quirk was gone, and that irritated me. While you may paint me as this monster who slaughters innocent people in the night, I do have some morals. I have no reason to attack someone who clearly can't defend themselves." Toshinori was shaking his head in denial, "She came too close to me, and my quirk exploded, resulting in her death… I did tell her to go."
"You're lying! You killed her, I know you did!" Izuku sat on his bed and placed a hand on his head.
"Okay… what if I get the memory from his head and you watch it? Will that calm you down?"
"N~NO! I refuse to believe what he's saying. And even if it is true, he's still a villain." Didn't Izuku understand that?
Kuro reached over to the table, grabbing some bandages, "Of course, just to the conclusion without any proof. Obviously, I must be a monster because I've been painted that way by others. You don't know a thing about me or what I do! That quirk of yours was never meant for you!"
"You can lie all you want, All for One, it won't save you once I'm free. You want this power to~" Kuro sneered and growled at the idiot before him.
"I don't require your stupid strength, you imbecile! I want that connection with my brother! I never desired it because of its ability to stockpile power; it was a gift to my own kin." That made Toshinori stop, as for Izuku, she looked between the two, not understanding what they were talking about. "You know those visions you have of the past users? It was meant for my brother and me so we could be together in case one of us died. He was never supposed to pass it on."
"You killed your brother."
Ripping the end of the bandage, Kuro sealed his wound, "I was young and foolish, like you. All I ever wanted from your quirk was the ability to see him again, but it seems that's no longer an option." He looked over All Might's bloody body, "I felt your quirk when we were fighting… you've merged it to your bones and muscles. I can't even take your quirk if I tried."
All Might winced when he felt Izuku patch the hole in his shoulder, "And why should I believe anything you say?"
"You pathetic fool… even after all these years, you still don't know me. Even your beloved Nana knew I don't lie."
"Don't speak her name!" He clenched his fists.
Izuku finished patching the wound on his shoulder, she placed a hand on his naked back, "Toshi… you need to calm down."
"Midoriya, you don't know him, he's a vicious, cold blooded~"
"No," She covered his mouth and waved her finger, "You don't know him. I've known Sensei for a long time, and he has never lied to me. He told me about his past and what he does. Stop painting him as a heartless killer. I get it, you're mad for losing Nana. If I lost someone close to me, I'd be angry too." Grabbing a rag, she started cleaning his cuts and bruises. "Look, I can see you both have a long history together, but this needs to stop."
Kuro chuckled, "With this idiot? He wouldn't come to peace even if I begged him, which I won't."
"Sensei… if you call him an idiot again, I won't fix your wounds."
Toshinori grimaced as she wrapped a bandage around his head, "You don't even know what peace is."
"And here we are again," Kuro began, "back to square one. Let me enlighten you with some of my 'elderly' knowledge. I was once like you, as strange as that may sound. Once I wanted to assist people and use my quirk for 'good.' But over time, I realized the world is a cruel place. You pro-heroes are as corrupt as a common thug. A true hero doesn't promote themselves or gloat about their fame. I realized if I wanted to maintain order in this imperfect world, I'd have to build myself up in the underbelly of society. Do you genuinely think the police are intelligent enough to gather intel? Who do you think their inside man is?" Over the years, he'd strategically given the police intel on different criminal organizations, but they were always anonymous.
Izuku went over and started patching up Kuro. Toshinori blindly stared at his bed, "If you were a hero, you would be out saving innocent people, not harming them."
"Innocent? We live in a society where quirkless people are treated like garbage. Children are raised to 'save' people, but without villains to fight, why would we need heroes? I've come across many 'heroes' who push out villains to keep their name's in the spotlight. Grr~" Kuro growled as the cotton ball burned his bruise, "Quite frankly, I'm finished All Might." the blond quickly glanced at him, "I'm over this senseless fight, keep your quirk. If I'm honest… there existed a time when I did believe you'd become an exceptional hero. However, you think society needs a… pillar, a 'Symbol of Peace.' You are leading society to an ultimate collapse, you fool! Like the lowliest peasant, you'll die, and that pillar will fall."
Izuku cleared her throat, "I'm trying not to take sides, but… I do agree with Sensei." She glanced at Toshinori, who was clearly upset, "I respect that you save people, but your pillar idea is perilous in the long term. You've made people too reliant on you, so what will happen when the next generation comes? The Roman Empire fell because people grew too lazy, and by the time a new evil came, they couldn't defend themselves."
Toshinori bit his tongue and glared at the floor. He hesitated to admit it, but they were right. He'd never honestly thought about the repercussions of his efforts. He couldn't even get a successor to take his place. "I just wanted a society where people could smile and not live in fear."
Sighing, Izuku looked over, "Toshi… the world is filled with darkness. You don't know what horrors are hiding under your nose. The world isn't perfect, we can't live in a utopia. I'm not saying you need to stop saving people, but just know… people are too reliant on you. If you die, crime will rise again, it always does. I know you want people to smile and be happy, but when that goes on for too long, people grow arrogant."
Kuro chimed in, "Quite honestly All Might, I'd assumed that someone who used to be quirkless would realize how broken society is."
Izuku looked between two, "Huh!? Wait, You used to be quirkless?"
Toshinori covered his face and groaned; he just wanted to wake up from this nightmare.
(Meanwhile, Aldera)
Snipe slammed his hand onto the large file in front of him, "How is this possible!?" Ectoplasm and Nezu were on either side of him, equally mad, "This little lady wrote you 112 complaints, and not once did you yell at that brat!?" After arriving at the school, much to the staff's surprise, they demanded to search the school's archives. In a steel cabinet, they found a large folder listing all the complaints from Izuku over three years. They went from small things, usually Bakugo and his friends, putting gum in her hair to being called a quirkless loser in front of the class. The three UA teachers couldn't begin to describe their displeasure.
Across from them was Aldera's principal and Izuku's old teacher, he had blond hair. "N~now, let's be adults about this. I'm certain this is all just a big misunderstanding~"
"How is~" Snape flipped to a random complaint, "Calling someone a hero-slut a misunderstanding!?"
Ectoplasm was growling. With what Izuku has done for him, he felt indebted to her and to learn how she was treated; He'd never been angrier, "What school are you idiots running!?" His fingers dug into the table, 'I didn't believe her bullying was this severe.' He could only imagine the rest of the staff's reaction when they saw this mountain of complaints.
Nezu's face was hidden by a shadow, 'Why didn't she tell me? I could have done something.' He was ashamed to call himself a principal. Even though he was playing cupid, he still saw her as that little girl who was looking for school supplies. 'I didn't think it was this grave.' Even with his high specs, he couldn't understand how a school ignored 112 complaints… and that was only the complaints she submitted. "I'll be informing the Ministry of Education about Aldera's lacking educational standard… I also want all the footage you've kept over the past three years." A few years ago the Educational department degreed all schools had to keep surveillance, in case a villain attacked.
Hearing this, the principal of Aldera froze, "I~ uh… that's property of Aldera." He knew about Bakugo's bullying but brushed it off.
Snipe slammed his revolver into the table, "And since this is a UA student, we're given reign over your records." He glared at Izuku's old teacher, "And you! How can you just stand by and let your students insult someone?"
"I~i uh, she was quirkless." He immediately covered his mouth. He never saw Izuku getting into UA because she was quirkless, or so he thought.
"That's not an excuse!" Has this man lost his mind?
Nezu growled like the animal he was, "Even if she was supposedly quirkless, that makes it even worse." If she'd never been given permission by the Ministry of Magic, she'd still have to act like she was quirkless. 'I'm going to discipline my students on how they should be grateful for their powers.' A wicked punishment filled Nezu's mind, 'Since All for One will be teaching, I believe we can have him take some students' quirks and give them a… quirkless experience.' Clearly, he'd have to give it back, but maybe it would be an eye-opener to his students. All for One's quirk was a blessing in disguise. After they got the footage, which was stored on a hard drive, they left the school. Albus was waiting patiently outside for them… the old wizard didn't trust himself to leave the school in one piece.
As they left, Ectoplasm scoffed, "Wait till Hound Dog hears about this." The school's guidance counselor was going to have a seizure.
Snipe huffed, "We can't just throw this file on his desk… he'd tear Bakugo to shreds."
"SO!? That kid deserves it! You've seen this file," He lifted the papers up, "That kid is a cold-blooded monster."
"I agree… but we have to be cautious about this." Nezu and Ectoplasm stopped to look at him, "We can't just run up as yell at him, it'll look bad on us, and I don't want the little spitfire getting involved."
Nezu nodded his head, "We need to make it clear to Bakugo we've discovered this information on our own accord, and we didn't have Izuku's help."
Ectoplasm looked confused, "What!? But we didn't ask for her help. She never told us."
"We know that," Snipe shifted a bit, "What I'm saying is, Bakugo won't. He'll probably assume she said something, and I don't want her on the receiving end of his temper."
"That brat will have to get through all of my clones before I let him touch her!"
They approached Dumbledore, who was smiling as he stared off into space. "I assume everything went according to plan for you, gentlemen? I must question, why is your kind so fascinated with those mirror contraptions in their hands?" He rarely got out.
Snipe tilted his head, "You mean a cellphone?" How disconnected were wizards?
"Yes, I believe that is what you muggles call them. I've had a few students at Hogwarts ask me about this… wefi? Wifi? Hmmm… how do you pronounce it?"
"Wi-fi?" Snipe gave Ectoplasm a concerned expression, this lack of knowledge was starting to scare him.
"Forgive me, I am an old soul. Younger wizards these days are more in-tune with this technology you muggles use. Personally, I believe sending a letter is far easier than this… text message? Why don't you call it a letter? Is it not the same thing?"
Nezu smiled, "Once we return you UA, I would love to talk to you about magic, perhaps I can explain our differences in technology. Tell me, do you enjoy herring tea?"
Ectoplasm and Snipe groaned… Nezu was making friends. That was never a healthy sign.
(Timeskip UA)
Nezu walked down the halls towards the infirmary, Gran Torino called him not long after they left. Apparently, something occurred, and he needed to return quickly. Nevertheless, he was preoccupied, so it had to wait. As for Snipe, Ectoplasm, and Dumbledore, they returned to the stands to observe the rest of the games. The last round was underway, he had no idea who was fighting. Nezu shifted his weight, he was holding Izuku's monstrous file from Aldera.
Reaching the infirmary, he could hear what sounded like… growling? Sliding open the door, he dropped the file onto the ground, the papers panned out onto the floor. "All Might… All for One!? But~I?" No, they weren't supposed to meet until Saturday. Off to the side, he could see Izuku resting in a chair, and Sorahiko was on the counter, clearly pissed.
Gran Torino grunted, "Welp, it looks like you missed the action Nezu. We had dumb and dumber here destroy the boiler room. What the fuck were you two thinking!?"
All Might and All for One were sitting up, covered in bandages. Neither wanted to talk to each other, and they'd been giving each other a series of growls and grunts. Toshinori turned to Gran Torino, "You knew about him this entire time, and never told me!?"
"You wouldn't've understood dumbass. Besides, the kid here made me swear to keep my mouth shut." He pointed his thumb to Izuku.
"You let your granddaughter near All for One, but get irritated at me for training her?!" All for One frowned when he heard this. Izuku was shaking her head. It's been like this for a while.
"You're a pervert! Why the fuck would I let you near her? And it's not like I can stop her from talking to him." All Might had been pissed at him for the last two hours.
Kuro glared at the idiots across from him, "What do you mean you trained her?"
Toshi grunted, "That's none of your concern."
"I can explain," Izuku timidly raised her hand, "I was training with both of you at Dagoba Beach… I never told you Sensei because it kept skipping my mind. After you asked to train me, All Might wanted to train me as well, and I didn't want to say no. So… I just worked with both of you."
"You trained with him?! I could teach you things this blond would never understand."
All Might sneered, "Like I'd ever let her train with you now."
Kuro smirked, "Well, it seems you're going to be displeased when I reveal to you… I begin working here Monday."
All Might looked as if his head was going to explode, "W~what!? Nezu! What did you do!?" Grunting, he got out of bed and wobbled over to the smirking mouse. "He's the teacher you hired!? HIM? Have you lost your mind?!" He was only half-way through the day, but the surprises wouldn't stop… he hated surprises!
Nezu smirked, "Why All Might, you seem upset? Don't worry, I'm certain everything will work out." Gran Torino was rubbing his head, he couldn't handle this.
As All Might trembled in rage, Kuro got up and stood next to him, "Will you cease your screaming?" The two went back to growling at each other… they knew better than to fight while Izuku was in the same room. They stopped their arguing when they shifted, both were barefoot, and they felt something beneath their feet. Looking down, they saw the papers Nezu had spilled onto the floor, "What is all of this?" He pulled a document off the ground and started reading it.
All Might grunted, "I thought you were going to Aldera?" Izuku's head popped up when he said that, why was Nezu going there? Toshinori noticed All for One was shaking. "What are you doing?" Looking about, he also plucked up a paper from the ground.
Izuku shrunk into her seat when Kuro marched over, he clenched the document, "You swore you'd tell me when that brat was bullying you!"
"U~uh? What are you talking about?" Behind Kuro, she could only see All Might's naked back, he was shaking. "What is that?"
Nezu started organizing the papers… But All Might kept taking them. One article he came across had a picture of Izuku's forearm, there was a burn mark in the shape of a hand. He gripped the paper and trembled as his teeth chattered. 'T~that boy used his quirk on her? So not only was he mentally abusing her, but it was physical too.' He turned and stepped next to All for One… they both started demanding answers from Izuku. She looked confused and nervous.
"Why didn't you tell me!?" All Might screamed, his blood was boiling.
Kuro's eyes were glowing, "You swore you'd tell me every time he tormented you! I should have just killed him when I had the chance!"
"How long has he been abusing you!? I'll smash his head into the ground!"
"What!?" Kuro snatched the paper from All Might's hand, he didn't even mind. Reading the paper and looking over the picture, his hands turned into claws, "He… abused you? He crippled you!?" Gran Torino popped over when he heard this. In less than a minute, the three men were shouting their anger.
Toshinori clenched his fists, "Where else has he hit you!?"
Kuro's quirk was losing control, "I'll steal that bastard's quirk and use it on him. I'll make him experience the same pain he made you feel." In the back of All Might's mind, he thought it was strange hearing All for One care about Izuku's well being. It… it made him… happy. A small part within him was happy All for One was just as exasperated as him… it sounds strange when he thinks about it.
"Why didn't you tell me?" All Might asked desperately, 'I could have done something! Were you scared? Did he threaten to hurt you if you said anything? Did… did you think I wouldn't care?' The last thought made him sick to his stomach. The same ideas were running through Kuro's head.
Izuku tried tucking her head away, her face was flushed. "I… Uh… I did tell the school, but… they never did anything. So… I… well…" She was too afraid to speak.
Nezu finished collecting the papers, "All Might, All for One! Stop scaring the girl!" He knew this was a touchy subject for her. He held the large file to his chest. "Now, Midoriya, I know this is a delicate subject for you, but I must know, why didn't you tell us?" He lifted the file, "112 complaints, and you never once told us about this. I understood you, and young Bakugo didn't get along, but this treatment is unacceptable."
All Might and All for One choked as they heard the number, "112 complaints?" Gran Torino was on the verge of yelling.
Izuku grabbed a strand of her hair and started twirling it, "I… I… who told you about that?" How did they find out?
All Might crossed his arms, "Your old potions professor told us. He made it clear to us how much of a monster that child really is."
All for One growled and clenched his fist, his arm had locked up, "It makes me sick to agree with him, but you should have told us. I would've rather you told this blond idiot than let this treatment continue."
She finally started to break, "Well… what was I supposed to do? Every time I told someone he'd jump circles around them, he's an expert manipulator. All I ever heard growing up is how he'll be a great hero, and everyone around him believed it. Besides… it's not like my other classmates were saints. Please… I don't want to talk about it."
She heard Kuro and All Might growling. All Might spoke up, "No. You're going to tell us everything, I know it's not something you want to talk about, but we're not letting this slide young lady."
"When I get my hands on that brat… I'll slice his head off." All Might didn't even budge at Kuro's comment.
Nezu took her hand and dragged her from the chair, "Before this conversation continues, I want Aizawa and our guidance counselor Hound Dog to hear this. I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, my dear, but I refuse to have this treatment continue. We will discuss any form of punishment with Aizwawa and Hound." As he was pushing her out, they heard the speakers in the room turn on.
It was Midnight's voice, "And our winner is… Katsuki Bakugo!" Everyone in the room froze. All Might looked like he wanted to shout, and Kuro's face was covered by a dark shadow.
Nezu stopped and shook his head, "Wait, are you not participating in the festival?" It never occurred to him Izuku wasn't competing.
Izuku looked over towards All Might and All for One; they looked ashamed, "I was but… when All Might and Sensei started fighting, it was my turn to fight. But, I sort of got dragged into their fight; I never showed up for the first round so… I got disqualified." Nezu shook and glared at the two.
"I will deal with you two later. Your punishment for getting her disqualified is going to be exceedingly hellish." With that, he pulled Izuku out of the infirmary, Sorahiko joined them… this left the two men alone.
The room became tense as soon as the door closed. With Izuku gone, they could continue their fight, but they didn't move. Slowly, All Might turned to All for One, his teeth were on the verge of breaking, "So, you're Sensei… you're the one she's been seeing for years. You slept with my little doe?" While it wasn't sexual, he was still furious.
"You robbed me of her first kiss… consider it payback." Kuro looked enraged.
"I won't let you touch her ever again."
"You heard that stupid prophecy… Grrr!" He wanted to slit his throat, "listen, you towering idiot. I don't like you, and I never will… but I refuse to lose her no matter the cost." He was certain he'd throw up, "I'm not thrilled about this arrangement, and neither are you. But you heard what she said… I…" he clenched his jaw, "I will not lose her because of your ignorance. If I could kill you without inadvertently killing her, I would."
All Might ripped the bandages off his head, and gave something similar to a hiss, "I adore her more than you ever could." A claw came up to his neck, and equally, he gripped Kuro's throat.
"I've cherished her long before you came around. You know nothing about me, and what I'd sacrifice for her."
The image of All for One speaking to Izuku for years made Toshinori sick, "I… ugh!GRRR!" He wanted to kill the man before him, "I don't want to lose her either, so what are we going to do? The very idea of sharing her with… with you makes me sick."
"The feeling is mutual." Slowly, he let go of All Might's neck, "I cannot believe I'm stating this, but… we have to… accept this predicament we're in."
"You know damn well, I'll never forgive you for what you've done. I know deep down, you're still a monster."
"Well, guess what? If we don't get over this ridiculous drama, then neither of us wins, and she suffers because of it." His eyes were glowing, "I've been alive for over 300 years. I've lost more than you could ever know… I won't lose her, no matter the cost."
Struggling to breathe, Toshinori puffed his chest, "I will never forgive you… but… for her… I'll make an exception. I'm tired of fighting you as well, so I'll attempt to look past everything you've done to me and the world." It took all of his might to say this, "If you really care about her, like me, then you'll leave that underworld of yours… we both know she'll be broken if she knows exactly what you've done to people… I know you made the Nomu."
Kuro growled and held out his hands, "Fine. Do we have a deal?" Slowly, Toshinori shook his hand. The act made them nauseous. Immediately, they pulled away when they felt a sharp prick in their palms, "Agh! What did you do?" A single drop of blood rose from his wound.
"I didn't do anything, it was you!" Similarly, a drop of Toshinori's own blood rose up. They both stood back as they watched the tears of blood spin around. Their blood combined, and a gold locket encased it. They watched cautiously as the locket levitated. "What is that? What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, you buffoon." Slowly, Kuro grabbed the chain connected to the locket, he looked it over. "This isn't a quirk… I don't feel it. I'd imagine this is something to do with magic?" For their position, they could hear the crowd going wild. Slipping the locket into his pocket, he glanced at Toshinori. "I'll have to question her regarding this… you… you'd best hurry to your followers."
"For once… I envy you. I have to give young Bakugo a gold medal for winning." And he couldn't just go yelling at the boy, they still needed to assemble all the evidence before calling him out. Before he could leave, he noticed All for One looking conflicted, "Yes?"
"I'm… I'm sorry for killing your master… it was never my intention."
All Might bit his tongue, he was conflicted because the apology sounded sincere. 'I'm not gonna be sleeping tonight.' He nodded his head slowly, "and… I'm sorry for destroying your head." He left the man as a bloody mess. 'Dear Lord, is this truly happening?' Was he actually making amends with All for One? It seemed impossible, no beyond impossible!
(Stadium)
Tokoyami frowned as he rose from the ground, he'd won third place. As for Shoto, he'd gotten second. Between them, Bakugo was struggling against his chains and mouthguard. "Be grateful for winning you, arrogant child." He couldn't hear the foul insults Bakugo threw him
In the last round, Shoto decided to lose… he didn't want to win anymore. In fact, seeing Bakugo react like this was a much better reward.
Tokoyami cleared his throat, "Now that we have time alone and your mouth is kept shut, I can say this." The platforms were still rising. "I don't know what your problem is with Midoriya, but if you make another insult against her, I won't hold back." Bakugo stopped his shaking and glared at him. "You're a cruel and arrogant child who doesn't deserve to be here, especially with how you've been treating her. You have no idea what she's capable of, and I'm grateful to call her a friend. You are a fool for not realizing how much of a wonderful human she is."
Shoto heard everything Tokoyami said… in his left pocket, he felt the potion she gave him. He was still in shock at the discovery of magic, but he'd have to live with it. 'No sense in becoming irrational because of it.'
Bakugo started struggling again as they rose out of the ground. A large portion of the stadium became quiet at seeing the boy's behavior. And for the wizards who were still there… this was ghastly. He won, and now he's acting like an animal? This boy wouldn't last a second in the wizarding world, he'd be chewed out.
As for the teachers, they covered their faces in embarrassment. Bakugo's behavior reflected poorly on them. Severus frowned before looking at Aizawa, "You must be so proud."
"Bakugo." He growled the boy's name. 'I'm going to hang him with my scarf.'
Behind him, Hound Dog was growling, "Ungreat full~grr~ arrogant! When he gets to my office I~grra Awhoo! GRR~" He started barking and growling like a savage mutt. After the match was over, he was going to speak with Izuku and Nezu. Apparently, they were going to tell him the finer details of Bakugo's bullying.
Snape watched Bakugo go insane, "Why did you not disqualify him?"
Aizawa moved his bandage from his mouth, "We can't just pull him out and yell at him without proof. Besides… Nezu got back a few minutes ago… so it's a little late to disqualify him."
"And what is holding you back?" Severus looked irritated and confused, "If needed to, I'd gladly go down there and announce his immediate disqualification." Just then, the sound of All Might's laugh was heard. They watched him jump into the stadium. "What Midoriya sees in him, I will never know." Aizawa tilted his head at that remark… it… it sounded like there was another meaning to it.
Back on stage, All Might started giving the boys their medals. As he stepped onto Bakugo's platform, he tried to stop his sneer. Watching the boy act like a savage made his blood boil, 'You ungrateful child. If it wasn't for me, Midoriya could be up here.' When he found out he'd gotten her disqualified, he'd felt utterly ashamed and embarrassed. Saying nothing, removed the boy's gag.
"I don't want it! Get that garbage away from me!" He yelled and shook against his restraints.
"C'mon young Bakugo take the medal!" All Might forced a smile and tried to put the medal on his neck. Struggling a bit, he lost his patience, "Gr~c'mon stop struggling~ Gh~ Just take the stupid medal." Bakugo was so angry he didn't hear All Might. After the awards ceremony was over, he turned to Bakugo, "You are needed in Nezu's office, young man… we need to talk."
He glared at All Might, "About what?" He spat out. Instead of getting a response, Kastsuki was surprised to see the hero frown at him.
"I will see you in Nezu's office." With that, he marched off the stage, he wanted to snatch that medal and give it to someone deserving. "Ungrateful child." Toshinori knew his smile was gone, it was probably a surprise to the crowd.
(Hallways)
Izuku shifted uncomfortably. She'd just gotten finished talking to Nezu and Hound Dog. As for Kuro, Sorahiko, and All Might, they had to wait outside. It was strange; even with Kuro's auditory quirk, he couldn't hear anything from the office. It was infuriating… it seems, after all this time, Izuku's spell hadn't worn off on his office.
Hound Dog was snarling, "Grrr~ You should've come straight to me! Woof GR~RR~r!" After that, trying to make sense of his snarls was impossible.
Nezu tapped paws on the desk, "Thank you, Midoriya, that's all we'll need."
Izuku nodded, "You're not going to expel him, are you? I know what he did was wrong, but I don't want him to be expelled." Nezu and Hound Dog looked at each other.
"We won't expel him, but he is not going unpunished."
Standing up, she turned and left the office. Outside, All Might and Kuro quickly demanded answers. She had to put her hands up, "Okay, calm down, please. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was just scared." That didn't seem to help.
All for One crushed his hand, "He's lucky I don't chop his head off. When is this little shit arriving?" Since he was now part of the staff, he was definitely going to be present.
Walking back, Izuku passed a wall; she was at the edge of the stairs. "Please just calm down, I promise I'll tell you everything okay? No more half-truths." The three gave a huff before giving their own nods. "Thank you." Looking to her right, and down the stairs, she noticed Bakugo walking up. From his position, he couldn't see the three adults, literally, around the corner.
Seeing Izuku, he glared, "Gr~What are you doing here, Deku?!"
"Uh~ hey Kacchan." She waved her hand, 'Please Merlin, they are right there!' Glancing to her left, she saw the three listening with glares on their face. "I was just leaving."
"Pff… ya, whatever." He gave a smirk, "I gotta say that was pretty pathetic today. But I can't be surprised a loser like you didn't make it far."
"Excuse me? I was taking care of my friends." From there corner of her eye, she could see All Might and Kuro growling, "It's not like I meant to miss the festival."
"Ya, just face it Deku, you were afraid to show because you knew you wouldn't win against me."
"Katsuki~please." She was waving her hands, trying to keep his mouth shut. To make matters worse, Nezu and Hound Dog had come out of the office. They'd heard some commotion.
"I don't care what anyone says, you're still that same quirkless loser from Aldera. You should've just taken my advice and taken a swan-dive off the roof. At least then you'd get your five seconds of fame."
"Katsuki… I'd stop talking if I were you." He didn't know there were five people to her left listening in. They were absolutely furious. No one had said anything… they wanted to hear what else he had to say.
"Don't tell me what to do, Deku!" He was growling, "You're lucky I don't blast your stupid face for those cheap tricks you made in the first two rounds." Hound Dog's eyes had rolled to the back of his skull… he was a hair away from losing it.
"Katsuki there are~" She motioned her hands to the left, but he interrupted her.
"I don't wanna hear it, Deku. Just take those useless notebooks of yours and do everyone the favor of fucking off." He stopped right in front of her, the wall blocked his view of the teachers by a hair. Nezu was shaking, to hear this in person was… he couldn't describe his anger.
"I… excuse me." Her face was pale, with that, she turned and walked towards the five. She walked towards them before anyone could move and comfort her, she apparated away… much to everyone else's anger.
Bakugo moved, "Hey, I'm not done talking to~" He turned the corner and froze. His eyes widened, Izuku was nowhere in sight, and he was greeted with five furious men. He immediately recognized the man from Izuku's apartment, he was covered in bandages. Standing there was Nezu, All Might, Hound Dog, Gran Torino, and whoever that guy was. "Uh~"
Hound Dog lost his temper, "B~bakugo! GrrraHHH! AWHOOO! Office Grr~Awhoo!" He started barking his commands, but the teen couldn't understand him.
All Might slammed his fist into the wall, "Office! NOW!"
"W~wait, but Deku was… where did she?" He was confused, Izuku was right there!
"NOW!" All Might looked terrifying. Had any of them knew Izuku was going to apparate, they would've stepped in. They were just waiting for the idiot to turn the corner.
Katsuki was grabbed by his shirt, All for One looked furious, "Are you, deaf boy!? MOVE!" He threw him to Hound Dog. The guidance counselor was shouting as he dragged Bakugo to the office, Nezu just frowned as he went inside. Not expelling this boy was going to be the hardest thing he's ever done.
Gran Torino shook his head, "I'm gonna find the kid. If I go into that office… I'll fucking kill him." With that, the old man turned and jumped down the hall. That left Kuro and Toshinori standing there. They looked at each other. There was still the lingering awkwardness between them.
Kuro spoke first, "I'm not setting foot in there either. We both know I'll slaughter him." He turned and pulled out his phone while walking down the hall. He was calling Izuku.
That left Toshinori, 'This is one hell of a day.' Turning around, he went into Nezu's office.
After getting settled, Nezu placed a large file on his desk, Bakugo looked a little nervous. Nobody wants All Might to yell at them. "What's this about?" He crossed his arms.
Nezu brushed his suit, "We'll discuss that in a few minutes, currently, we're waiting for your mother and father." Since they were his legal guardians, they needed to be present for this.
"Huh?"
The office door slammed open, and a blond woman came rushing in… she looked furious, "KATSUKI!" Mitsuki marched over, Masaru was right behind her, and he looked disappointed. They were called after the festival ended and informed what the meeting was about. Mitsuki's hair had puffed up, she wanted to kill her son. "Young man, you are in so much trouble! If your teachers weren't here, I'd strangle you! How dare you treat that sweet girl like garbage!"
Bakugo raised his brow, he was confused, "Wait… what are we talking about?"
Nezu slid a massive folder onto the table, "Recently, we've noticed your… complicated relationship with Izuku. Now, normally we wouldn't think much of it, but recently I took a trip to Aldera… do you know what this folder is?"
"Beats me~" Mitsuki slapped Bakugo in the back of the head.
"Show some respect!"
"You cow! Hit me again, and I'll blast you!" This was their family's usual dynamic. Masaru covered his face in embarrassment.
All Might walked over and placed a hand on Bakugo's shoulder, "Young man! You will show your mother and everyone in this room respect." The boy kept his mouth shut, but he had an irritated expression.
"Thank you, All Might." Nezu flipped open the file, "This file, which we confiscated from Aldera, contained all 112 complaints from Miss Midoriya. Most are reports of physical and mental abuse by your hands." Mitsuki's eyes had rolled back… did he say 112? "I'm here to inform you and your parents, that bullying is not accepted here at UA, even if it happened before you arrived."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"No? I would like to remind you, this campus has 24-hour surveillance, and what I just heard in the hallway was recorded." Nezu fiddled with a few buttons on his desk as he pulled up the audio file from the hallway.
"I don't care what anyone says, you're still that same quirkless loser from Aldera. You should've just taken my advice and taken a swan-dive off the roof. At least then you'd get your five seconds of fame."
The recording ended, and Mitsuki broke down, screaming, "You evil, monstrous child! How dare you say that to her! After everything her mother did for us, you have the nerve to treat Inko's daughter this way!? I can't even look at you." Mitsuki considered Inko her closest friend, and she's missed her every day since she left; apparently, she was going to watch over Hisashi. To hear her own son treated Izuku like this… she wasn't sure she could look Inko in the face again. Much less Izuku, she loved that sweet girl.
"So she made a lot of complaints about me, she lied a lot at Aldera. She lied about being quirkless, why wouldn't she lie about that. She likes getting attention." All Might was piercing arrows into his head.
"Actually, we also have a picture of bruise marks she submitted to the school." He slid over a document, and it showed her blistered arm, a handprint clearly evident. "I ran this through our school's database, and your thumbprints match the marks in the picture. Young man… I would advise you to admit what you've done because frankly, you can be convicted for assault and battery. How you're old school ignored these will forever confound me, but as I said here at UA, we don't accept this treatment of others."
Katuski felt his anger rise, he hated when people pointed out his flaws, "She's just a loser who won't cut it as a rent-it cop. All she ever does is latch to me, I don't need her help." The room was silent.
Surprisingly, it was Masaru who broke the silence, "Bakugo!" his father never yelled, "Shut your mouth before I shut it for you?" While most people didn't know it… Masaru's rage was worse than Mitsuki's.
All Might was trembling, his bangs were starting to puff up. 'This is what Midoriya had to endure?' He'd personally been a victim of bullying in the past, mainly when he was quirkless, but not like this. "Young man, do you understand the severity of your actions?"
"Deku is~"
All Might interrupted and placed his hand on the table, "Her name is Izuku, not Deku, young man. You will show her respect." He cleared his throat and tried to be professional, "You're assault against Miss Midoriya are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Normally, this type of behavior is grounds for expulsion." Bakugo's eyes widened when he realized how severe his punishment was. This wasn't going to be like Aldera, where he'd get away with his cruel treatment.
Nezu waved his hand, "I will take it from here, All Might, thank you." He turned to Bakugo, the boy looked nervous, "Yes, normally we would have expelled you for this type of behavior. However, before you arrived, we had questioned Miss Midoriya. She humbly asked for us not to expel you, but I will be open… your actions in the hallway are making it difficult." All color was gone from Bakugo's face, "You should consider yourself lucky because if she had not asked, I would have promptly expelled you for this behavior." The teen's heart rate had skyrocketed, sweat was pouring down his face. He didn't know what he'd do if he were expelled.
Mitsuki spoke up, "You're not letting my brat of a son get away with this, are you? I'll let you hit him with a sjambok." She had one mounted on the wall in their house.
"In response to his actions, I've devised a total rehabilitation for young Bakugo. My goals are to rid him of this inferiority complex and instill into him proper manners." Bakugo was listening carefully, "Firstly, until Hound Dog has decided you are mentally mature enough to behave around your classmates, especially Miss Midoriya… we will be temporarily moving you into the general education classes."
"W~what!?" Bakugo hands slammed onto the table. "You can't be serious!?"
"Unless you wish to be expelled, I see no other option… may I continue?" Bakugo sat down, a frown stained his face, "You will be placed in the general education classes and monitored on your behavior. To make sure you aren't too far behind your classmates when you hopefully return, you'll still be participating in physical training." So he'd still have to train with class 1-A. "You'll also be having anger management counseling with Hound Dog and will have to complete these 100 hours of community service." He slid over a paper. "I understand this makes you angry, but I would like to clarify something," Bakugo slowly looked up, his face flushed with embarrassment, "If it wasn't for Miss Midoriya you would be expelled. Now before we go into the paperwork, I must ask something. Why is it you have a personal vendetta against Miss Midoriya?"
Everyone leaned close to hear, All Might was clenching his fist. He wanted to hear this boy's reason. Bakugo shook his head and growled, "She's always looked down on me like I'm some sort of weakling. And she enjoyed laughing behind my back while she lied about being quirkless."
All Might finally decided to step in, he looked very irritated, "Young man, just because someone offers help does not mean you are a weakling. I can tell you from my own personal experiences that even I need assistance. Until you learn to behave yourself, I will personally be watching over you and Midoriya. If I see any attempt to harm her, I will be forced to treat you as a villain." Part of him wished the boy attempted something… that way, he could hurt Bakugo without restraint. "This also goes for any other student."
Bakugo, again, said nothing; he just trembled in his seat. He was angry, embarrassed, and ashamed. 'That… damn… nerd.'
Nezu spoke, "Now, I believe we should go over the finer details of your rehabilitation. Mister and Misses Bakugo, I will need your permission for this."
Mitsuki huffed and glared at her son, "You are in so much trouble when we get home! I want you to write an apology to Izuku as soon as we leave."
Nezu interrupted her, "That won't be necessary. You see, Miss Midoriya has expressed she doesn't want an apology… frankly, she's explained to me that she does not want any connection to your son. She simply wishes to be left alone."
Mitsuki's eyes had rolled into the back of her head, she wanted to snap her son's neck. 'I am gonna kill him!' Her face contorted, she felt like crying, 'How can I ever show my face to Inko again?' She grabbed Katsuki by his shirt, "Excuse me. I need to have a word with my son." Her voice was cracking a bit.
This left Masaru to fill out the papers. He dropped his hand from his face, "I am so sorry about this, if I knew he was treating her like this, I would've stopped it long ago."
Nezu nodded, "Might I ask, what is the history between Midoriya and Bakugo?"
"My wife and I met Inko when we moved. Both were pregnant at the time, so they became good friends, and I've had a few encounters with Hisashi." All Might was listening attentively to Masaru, he wanted to hear more about Izuku's past, "Our son grew up in the same neighborhood as Izuku, and as far as we knew, they were friends. If Inko and Hisashi ever found out about this, I'm certain they'd kill my family and me." And he meant that. Inko was overly protective of her daughter… if she ever found out his son bullied Izuku for years. 'Ugh… some family friend I am.'
"What can you tell us about Inko and Hisashi?"
"I don't know Hisashi very well, but he's definitely someone I wouldn't want to be against." The man was All Might's size, and he could easily break someone's bones. "Inko is a lovely woman, I thought it was bizarre when she left without Izuku." He'd even called her out on it, that was a grave mistake… he'd never been so afraid in his life. He'd poked a mother bear with a stick, and his ears were on the verge of bleeding. Clearly, Inko hated leaving her daughter in Japan.
Toshinori huffed and looked away, "She sounds irresponsible if she left her daughter here." Then again, if she hadn't, he never would've met Izuku.
Masura's eyes widened, "Don't let her hear that." He could only imagine the anger she'd have. One thing was clear… Inko loved her daughter, and she'd make that clear to anyone. "She said she wanted Izuku to stay because… well… she wanted to go here." At the time, he thought that was crazy.
"What?"
"I don't know all the details, but apparently, Inko knew if she took Izuku with her, she'd never get the chance to go here. I guess her plan worked out after all."
Toshinori had a gnawing feeling in his stomach. He needed to make it up to Izuku, 'I never realized how hard she's had it. To be tormented for years and then forced to raise yourself… just to go here.' And then she had to be insulted by sitting behind the boy who made her life hell. 'Nezu should have expelled him.' "I must be going now, thank you for this insight into Midoriya's past. It will help us greatly as we mold her into a hero." With that, he turned and left the room. As he walked down the halls, he could see Mitsuki was in tears as she yelled. However, he decided to stay out of it… he couldn't stand another second around that abusive child. Toshinori grunted as he walked down the stairs, "He's just another villain." Looking at his watch, he noticed the time, "I'd best find Midoriya. Hmmm… I guess I could make a quick trip home." He needed to pick something up.
(Timeskip, Dagobah Beach)
Izuku was sitting on a bench looking out at sea. After the incident in the hallway, she decided to come here, she was too embarrassed to be in front of everyone. Her phone was exploding with messages and phone calls, but she just ignored them. As she watched the waves, she heard the sound of hard shoes hitting the ground. "Hm?"
When she looked to her left, she saw Kuro standing there with a slight glare, "You shouldn't have run off like that."
"How did you know where I was?"
He sat down next to her, he was wearing a new suit, "I make it my job to know where you are little one… and this is one of your favorite spots to visit." He looked at her, "This… are you certain about this soulmate fiasco?" He's had a little bit of time to think about it.
She slowly nodded her head, "Y~yes. I… I know you're probably angry about this, and I'm completely under~" She never finished, a pair of warm lips slammed against her. Kuro's hands held the sides of her face as he pulled her closer. He became lost as he molded his lips to hers.
He pulled her closer, his right hand cupping the back of her head, 'My dearest Izuku you taste divine.' his rugged lips memorized her soft ones. Slowly, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her against his chest. She let loose a slight moan, he felt his dick swell beneath his pants. Pulling apart, his crimson eyes stared into her shocked green ones. Bringing his hand up, he held her chin with his finger and thumb, "I can not express how long I've craved you." Not giving her a chance to respond, he forced his tongue against hers. Tilting his head a bit, he slowly swirled his tongue around hers. He became drunk with pleasure as her moans intensified.
Izuku's heart shook as Kuro kissed her, 'His tongue he's~ oh… mhmm.' It reminded her of Toshinori, but… different. Not better or worse, just different. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
Not wasting another second, he placed her on his lap… she was pressed right against his bulge. He grunted before giving a light thrust. Her little squeal nearly broke him.
"K~kuro!?" Her cheeks were on fire. He gripped her waist before pressing her harder into his aching bulge. 'Why did I choose to change into my skirt?' She braced herself against his chest.
"You look divine little one." He gave another thrust, she covered her crimson face. "This is what you've made me suffer through." He thrust against her core a little harder, his length was rock hard. "When I had you in my bed, I wanted you like this. My little one pressed up against me, moaning her little heart out." He planted soft kisses on her neck, he stopped longingly when he felt her pulse. "I heard you… I heard you in my shower."
She clung to him, her body was on fire and flushed with embarrassment, "A~and… what~mhmmh! What did you hear?" Her heart was pumping at an alarming rate.
Spinning her around, he pressed her back against his chest and leaned close to her ear, "I heard my little one pleasure herself." His hot breaths made her legs go numb, her cunt was leaking. "I'll let you in on a secret… If you didn't stop when you did, I would've barged in there. I would've taken you against my shower walls," She was shaking, and a little bit of snow fell as she lost control of her emotions, "and the way you curled up to me. I wanted to make love to you all night." His arms wrapped around her waist, he had an iron grip, "To watch you ride my swollen cock and lose yourself to your pleasures." His lips were right against her ear, and he dropped his already deep voice another octave, "Perhaps we can try again? Would you care to spend the night with me? I assure you… by tomorrow, you won't be able to walk without my help. You'll be completely at my mercy."
Izuku was sure her heart was about to explode, "K~k~kuro… we… I… don't you think it's too soon to… you know… do that?" A day ago, she wasn't even sure he held feelings for her, and now she was in his lap, being coaxed into his bed.
His hands wandered over her sides, "We are soulmates… are we not? If I'm going to spend an eternity with you… why wait for the inevitable?" He understood her confusion, "When you grow to reach my age, one tires of 'beating around the bush.' I've waited long enough, and I intend to take what's rightfully mine." He started kissing her neck again, purposefully leaving a hickey for all to see.
Izuku was about to speak, but they heard someone clear their throat. Off to the side, Toshinori was standing there glaring at All for One, "If anyone is taking my little doe's cherry, it shall be me." Izuku felt her soul figuratively float out of her body, "Her first time should be special… not waisted with you." He marched over and took the vacant seat, he gripped his knees. Seeing Izuku in his arms was infuriating.
Kuro sneered, "Like you could bring her pleasure? You might have stolen her first kiss from me, but the loss of her virginity belongs to me." The two grown men were growling at each other.
It took all of Izuku's strength to calm down. Hearing them talk about this was embarrassing, 'What happened!? A week ago, I didn't even know they held feelings for me and now this!?' And hearing All Might talk like this was even worse. Sitting between them, she uncupped her face, "Y~you… you know, I didn't expect you both to be so… accepting of this." She figured they'd be fighting non-stop; instead, they growled at each other.
All Might gritted his teeth, "It's not like we have a choice." The fact that he had to share Izuku with his fated enemy was a nightmare. 'No… a nightmare would be better because at least it would end.'
All for One grunted. Before he could speak, he heard a clicking sound, "I am here!" The three looked down and saw Kuro's keychain jumping up and down. "In the name of good, I have returned to my owner!" He dropped into Kuro's open hand before turning dormant. All Might was off to the side, he looked perplexed.
Kuro growled softly, "Do not utter a word."
Izuku shifted between the two, there wasn't much space for her, "I made him a keychain for my apartment… it was before all of this." She glanced at Kuro, "I… do you want me to get rid of it for you?" Had she known he despised All Might, she never would've given it to him.
Looking away, All for One grunted again, "No." As much as he despised the thing, it was also sentimental. He turned to All Might, "Not a word you buffoon."
Izuku tugged Toshinori's sleeve, "I… I made this for you." Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a keycard, it looked identical to the one for his office… he lost it again. And his assistant refused to buy him more, those cards didn't come cheap.
"What's this?" He took the card and noticed a little figurine attached to it. Connected to the keycard was a mini-version of him; it was wearing his bronze age costume.
"When I went to your tower, you said you kept losing your keycard, so I thought I'd give you this. Just like Sensei's, it will hunt you down if you lose it. I… I also enchanted your card for my apartment door, just wave it over the lock and it will open." The figurine started to move.
"I am here! As a little figurine!" The mini-version of himself started running in mid-air, "Hahahaha!" Its laugh sounded exactly like his. Toshinori's cheeks started turning red.
Clearing his throat, he spoked, "T~thank you, young Midoriya." He gave her a pat on the head, "This will help me tremendously!" He started taking on his heroic voice, much to Kuro's annoyance. "At this rate, I can't wait for our date!"
Kuro looked like he wanted to explode, "Date? What date?"
"Hahaha! Were you not aware? Young Midoriya and I are preparing for a date!" Was All Might trying to mock him with his heroic voice? "I look forward to my one-on-one time with her!"
"Grrr~" Kuro was snarling, "Fine." A cruel smirk appeared on his face, "While I would love nothing more than to chop your head off, I'll leave you two alone." He grabbed Midoriya's shoulder and glared at All Might, they began an intense staredown, "But I expect you to stay out of our business when we are alone."
"Of course… All for One." There was a mocking tone in All Might's voice.
Izuku had started shaking again… their auras were radiating like decaying isotopes. "P~please… can you two try and get along? I know this is difficult for both of you, but I don't want there to be any more fighting."
"Of course, Midoriya!" Toshinori picked her up and hugged her to his chest, clearly trying to get a rise out of All for One. He started kissing the side of her face. Leaning close to her ear, his voice went husky, "So long as I get your little cherry." She was immediately snatched out of his arms.
Black sparks were escaping All for One as he hugged her to his chest, "Not even in your wildest dreams you buffoon." He started whispering things into her ear, her face went beet red. All Might frowned, he couldn't understand what the man was saying to her. For the next few minutes, this continued on, both growing more desperate. "She does not want to waste her time with you."
"It's Midoriya's choice, and she's clearly chosen her hero!" A few hairs had branched off his bangs.
Izuku shook her head, her face was almost blue from holding her breath, "Stop!" She struggled to get out of their hands, but it was hopeless. "I won't… I won't be doing that with either one of you." They went rigid, "You both need to talk about this on your own and come to an agreement." She crossed her arms, "Don't you two think you're moving a little fast? We... we just started dating."
Toshinori leaned down and started kissing her cheek, "My apologies Midoriya. I don't have much resistance when it comes to you."
Shigaraki's arm wrapped around her waist, "It will take time for us to accept this situation." It was going to be an awkward conversation for Kuro and Toshinori when discussing which of them will take her innocence. As Kuro ran his hand over her side, he felt the locket in his pocket, "Little one, would you happen to know what this is?" He pulled the golden locket out and handed it to her.
Izuku tilted her head, "Huh? Where did you get this?" She ran her thumb over the glass.
"After you left the infirmary we~hahbwaha… huh?" Toshinori and Izuku were looking at him with wide eyes. "We~ vamnaiba… What is happening?" Why couldn't he speak?
Toshinori shook his head, "What he means to say is we~Lavnirishima la." His tongue went numb. He kept trying to explain what happened, but all that came out was a gargled bundle of words. 'Why can't I speak?!'
Izuku glanced at the locket, "I think I see what's happening." She held up the locket, "This is a blood oath, it's an old form of magic. Wait… how did you two make a blood oath? You're not wizards?" They tried to respond, but she kept getting jumbled words. "Right… blood oath. I don't know how you two made this, but a blood oath can't be said aloud. That's why you two can't speak."
"You mean to say we can't talk about this?"
"You can't talk about it, and you have to follow whatever oath you two made." Toshinori and Kuro glared at each other
"What do you mean?"
"Blood oath's can be spoken aloud... usually. Some wizards can break past that magic and say it, but it's very difficult. As for your oath, you have to follow it until you die. What did you guys swear too?" She slapped her head, "Right, sorry… you literally can't say."
Kuro looked at the locket, "What do you mean it lasts until we die?"
"As I said, your oath can't be broken. You could smash this with a hammer, and it would never break." She watched their blood spin inside the glass sphere.
"What if we choose not to follow what we agree on?"
"You can't, your bodies won't allow you. Just how you can't speak, you'll lose control of your body. I just… how could you've made a blood oath, though? This doesn't make sense." She watched as Toshinori and Kuro tried to speak about their oath, but it was hopeless. Soon enough, it felt like someone poured glass shards into their mouths. "Stop talking about it. You can't tell people about a blood oath, okay. You're just gonna hurt yourself. Besides, you're both not strong enough to fight this type of magic." She went back to studying the locket and became lost in thought. She was mumbling her thoughts aloud, driving the men next to her insane. They loved it when she did that.
Kuro pulled Izuku into his side, "It's getting late, and you need to get some rest little one." She nodded but was stopped when Toshinori grabbed her arm.
"W~wait… uh… before you leave Midoriya." He rubbed the back of his neck and pulled out a golden medal, "I believe this belongs to you." It was his own medal from the sports festival… but he'd never tell her that, she wouldn't accept it otherwise.
"What? But I didn't win, where did you get this from, did you take it from Bakugo?!" She'd feel terrible if she took it.
"N~no, not at all." He placed it over her head, his face was on fire, "If it hadn't been for us, you probably would have succeeded, so I wanted to give you this… As far as I'm concerned, you won." He smiled as she became flustered. Off to the side, All for One was grumbling under his breath.
"T~thanks." Her cheeks were on fire, "Would either of you like me to apparate you home?"
Kuro shook his head, "No, thank you... if fact... I need to speak with All Might."
She looked uncertain as the two glared, "Alright... but if I discover you both are fighting again, I'm gonna be angry. Can you please try to work past this? I know that's asking a lot from the both of you, but I find it pointless for both of you two fight, even if you weren't my soulmates."
Toshinori gave her a pat on the head, "We will try young Midoriya... but... we have a long history." He sighed, "We know you didn't choose this, and I can't imagine it was easy for you to tell us." If he were in her shoes, he wouldn't even know where to begin.
Kuro walked over, "I can assure you we won't fight. And... I am also grateful you told us when you did."
Izuku bit her lip; both of them were on either side of her, 'Too close, they're too close!' She was basically sandwiched between them. "I... I should be going now. I have to say... you're both taking this a lot better than I expected, especially given your history. Well... goodnight, and remember no fighting." Pulling her wand out, she gave a wave before disappearing in a flash of light.
All Might glanced at Kuro, "You wanted to talk?"
"As much as I'd rather not discuss this... we knew to talk about the longevity of our... relationship with Midoriya." Bile wanted to escape his throat, "Specifically our... sexual advantages on her."
Toshinori grimaced, he loathed this conversation already, "I'm gonna be sick, but... alright." For the next few minutes, they discussed their plan of action and... they both hated the conclusion. "Not in a million years."
"Do you have a better plan? Frankly, we're both too arrogant to accept the other taking her innocence." Kuro wanted to slice his tongue and ears off; this conversation was hellish.
"Are you actually suggesting we... ugh... we share her?"
"Again... have you any other idea? I am just as sickened as you, but I see no other alternative."
"But to share her?" How had they ended up in this situation? "I'd sooner gouge my eyes out if I had to see you bare with Midoriya."
"Do you... have... another idea?!" Kuro wanted this conversation to be over with.
Toshinori bit his tongue, "No." covering his face, "I... ugh... I think I'm about to vomit. And Midoriya... do you honestly think she'll even be keen on this?" They didn't know when Izuku would be ready for the next step in this relationship, and that is why they needed to discuss it now.
"After this... shared experience of ours, we leave it at that. We will share her once, but never again. Of course, if you'd rather I take her innocence, we wouldn't have to do that, to begin with."
Toshinori clenched his fist, "One time... we do this once, and we never speak of it."
"For once, I agree with you." They glared at each other before eventually parting ways. If they talked any longer, a fight would break out.
(Elsewhere)
Tomura turned off the TV, he'd just finished watching the re-run of the sports festival. "So... the little bug can handle herself." However, he was more interested in the fiery blond who won the festival. "I think its time the League of Villain's hurt those stupid heroes where it hurts." He scratched his neck and smiled, 'Master has outlived his usefulness... he'd understand... he'd be proud.'
The screen paused on Izuku, he ran his hand over the screen, and the glass started to crack, "I think our beloved doctor would love to meet you." If he wanted his plans to succeed... he needed Kyudai Garaki on this side. 'Time to destroy his trust in our master.' He knew just how turn Garaki against his former master... all he needed was time.
(Author Notes)
It happened! It finally happened! Hopefully, the meeting between All for One and All Might was exciting for you all... it seems All Might also worked up the strength to use his other quirks... hmmm... I wonder if we'll see more of this? It also seems the two are going to be at each other's throats for quite a while, trust me... they aren't friends and that wasn't the only argument between the two. Perhaps one day, they will learn to accept each other. And Bakugo! Hahaha! I feel being moved into the general course studies was worse than being expelled. And Tomura... what are you planning? Next chapter... All for One starts working at UA! I'm pretty sure the next chapter will just be a filler, not part of the main story.
(Review Response)
Science Queen: I'm so glad to see you comment! I hope the chapter was to your liking.
38Solaire38: (ME)- ( ̄ε(# ̄) ╰╮o( ̄皿 ̄/)- (YOU) I'm sorry Solaire-san! No more cliffhangers like that! Please forgive me. Note to self, limit my cliffhangers. Hopefully, Bakugo's punishment was good for you, I know I enjoyed it. Just know he will still be apart of the story, I mean... I can't not have him.
MosesArk Reborn2000: Sorry about the last chapter and not leaving a review, again, I was so excited to get the chapter to all of you I sort of skipped the review responses. But never again! (Hopfully) (o′┏▽┓`o) I'm glad you liked the showdown between Snape and Aizawa, and guess what!? That's not the last we've seen of Severus! It looks like Bakugo is getting moved down for a while, I wonder how the rest of this story will pan out. And it seems like Mineta's little prank on the girls didn't happen, but wait! Don't you worry your little head... we still have the training camp. ( ̄︶ ̄)↗
Roxas Itsuka: I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I can't express how much I adore Shinso, he is such an underrated charater, and I can't wait for him to make a more prominent appearance in this story. And Yamiyo... why do I feel this isn't the last we've heard of her? At least we got to see Nezu shave her head... I think he was honestly going a little easy on her. I hope the confrontation between All Might and All for One was to your liking, I'll admit writing combat scenes are a bit difficult on my end.
dragonfox123: I'm glad you like the story! I hope to hear more from you.
IcySlayer44506: Are their going to be baby mini-mights and All for One's... well... hmm... it looks like we'll have to wait and see. (¬‿¬)
Hinata'sMuse: Hopefully, you enjoyed the peacocking All Might and All for One in this chapter. Trust me, this is only the beginning of their little fight. And I'll let you all in on something... one day... Snape will meet Bakugo... but when? Ghihihi! ε=ε=ε=┏(゜ロ゜;)┛ Also, I'm glad to hear this story made your day a little better, I know that feeling all too well.
Rene' Retanan: We've only just begun with Snape, that man will find his way back into future chapters, I can promise you that. I mean... he does have to see Aizawa's progress in teaching.
Ren Woods: It's funny that every is angry about these cliffhangers, I'm certain this is happening (╬▔皿▔)╯ o(≧口≦)o ( ̄ε(# ̄) ╰╮o( ̄皿 ̄/)(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻━((*′д`)爻(′д`*))━! ε=ε=ε=┏(゜ロ゜;)┛(ME running away) "Run! I made another cliffhanger.) Note to self, limit my cliffhangers if I value my safety XD. But in all seriousness, I'm glad you liked the chapter. I completely agree that the bullying Bakugo did should have been stopped long ago. I hope the punishment he's been given was to your liking. But this won't be the last we've heard of Bakugo.
gemava: Another chapter... come and gone. I imagine the fight between All Might and All for One was a bit surprising was it not... Toshinori started using his other quirks, let's hope we get to see more of it. Next chapter, we see All for One staring work at UA... I wonder how that will play out.
Icewolf9879: Hmmmm... you've given me an idea. (Stalks off into the night) Tokoyami! Where are you!?
MwhahaHoliday: Reality is falling apart! Quick everyone, leave the universe before Snape and Aizawa become possible friends! Let's hope you got some satisfaction from Bakugo's punishment, I can finally say I feel peace. I hated how the teachers never did something about Bakugo's bullying, but not in this story!
Lucian Naruto: Yep, All Might knows Endeavor is a flaming jerk. I fear his reaction if he finds out the man is a wife-beater. This won't be the last meeting between the two.
Pri-Chan 1410: I hope you were excited, and you achieved nirvana in this chapter. I would've loved if All Might and Kuro beat up Bakugo... but... it looks like that will have to wait, I mean... we still have the final exams for the students.
Slimesam: Oh, we've only just begun when it comes to achieving satisfaction. I hope you, like everyone else, enjoyed seeing Bakugo get his just punishment, and we get to see his parent's reaction. Also, Thanks for caring about when I update, Usually I do post the chapters every 2-3 weeks, but lately, I've just had such a surge of writing.
littlechick2013: Yay! In that case, I should set up some more... but... I think I might cause a mutiny.
Alyssa Namikaze Uchiha: Nope, I'm not a seer, though I wish I was. Hahaha! I was also happy when All Might sucker-punched Endeavor. I hope we get to see more of that. Tormenting class 1A has become a hobby of mine, and now that Aizawa has Snape's punishment notes... I'm afraid Class 1A won't surive... maybe Bakugo should've been kept in the hero course, just for a little longer. I know there might be concerns from some, but Bakugo is not gone form the story, he's just going through a rehabilitation stage.
