Wow! It's long time since I uploaded a new chapter.
Chapter 17
"Hehehehe. Today was fun." Nejire said as she flopped down onto Izuku's bed.
"I think differently." Izuku muttered, frowning at his girlfriend.
"Don't be like that, Zuzu. Nothing bad happened, right?" Nejire asked, positioning herself so that she's looking up at her boyfriend.
"Well, I guess…" Izuku trailed off, not sure what to say.
"But then again, you could say that it was pretty embarrassing for you." Nejire pointed out with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, you can say that." Izuku said, remembering his classmate's behavior during class when they where around him.
"At least the reactions where positive, right?" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Yes, your right about that. Not sure about the photos though." Izuku said whilst starting to scratch the back of his head and starting to blush as he remembered that members of Nejire's class, Class 3-B, took photos of him and Nejire in their swapped hero costumes as well.
"I sent a few to Ryukyu and Yuyu." Nejire commented, causing Izuku to gain a shock expression on his face.
"You didn't?" Izuku asked, hoping that he misheard Nejire.
"I did." Nejire replied with a smile on her face.
"Erh. What is my life coming to." Izuku said as he rub his face with his hands whilst sitting down on his bed, the reaction causing Nejire to giggle.
"Lighten up, would you. Like I said, nothing bad happened." Nejire repeated herself, although that statement wasn't entirely true.
The cyan hair girl did got a telling off for changing the costumes without anyone else's knowledge.
Silence descended around the bedroom and Nejire notice that Izuku has a deep thinking expression on his face.
"…Zuzu. Is there something wrong?" Nejire asked, becoming worried.
After a few more seconds of silence, Izuku turned his head towards the cyan hair girl.
"Nene. I'm going to tell you a deep secret of mine. Promise me that you won't tell anyone else." Izuku said as he started right into his girlfriend's eyes.
Nejire nodded her head, realizing how serious Izuku is being.
"My Quirk, Stockpile, I…..wasn't born with it." Izuku said, causing Nejire to blink her eyes in confusion.
"What are you talking about, Zuzu? Everyone is born with a Quirk. It isn't something you can buy at the shops." Nejire pointed out, causing Izuku to shake his head.
"My Quirk is different. My Quirk…...has the unique feature of being able to transfer between people, like the Olympic torch." Izuku explained, causing Nejire's eyes to widen.
"Y-your k-kidding, right?" Nejire asked, her voice becoming shaky.
"I'm not." Izuku replied, shaking his head.
"…..So you were born Quirkless?" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to shake his head sadly.
"Yes, I was born Quirkless. Leading a difficult life for ten years." Izuku said, causing Nejire to nod her head, knowing how Quirkless people are treated in this era.
"That was until my master, the previous wielder of my Quirk, saw potential in me and decided to entrust it to me. He'd been looking for a successor for a while at the time." Izuku explained, causing a small smile to appear on Nejire's face.
"I see why. Your amazing person, Zuzu." Nejire said, causing Izuku to start blushing.
"So does that make "Stockpile" a fake name for your Quirk?" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"That's correct. The real name of my Quirk is called One For All. A Quirk that grows stronger with each passing." Izuku explained, causing Nejire's eyes to gleam with wonder.
"One Quirk for all the people." Nejire muttered, causing Izuku to nod his head, him having managed to hear what his girlfriend jut said.
"Yes, that's pretty much the whole aspect of One For All." Izuku said with a small smile on his face.
"So, who was the previous wielder of One For All?" Nejire asked, becoming curious.
"…." Izuku didn't say anything and remained silent.
This cause Nejire to pout.
"Hey. Why are you keeping silent? I'm asking a question…..!" Nejire asked before realizing that she already knew the answer.
"…..Its All Might, isn't it? He's the previous wielder of One For All." Nejire stated, remembering the teasing towards Izuku about All Might being his father.
"Yes. All Might is the eighth wielder of One For All whilst I'm the ninth." Izuku explained, causing Nejire to nod her head before frowning slightly.
"That's really coincidentally. Your name having the number nine within it and you being the ninth wielder of One For All." Nejire said with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"I guess that's true….." Izuku muttered, him having thought about that detail before.
"That would mean that All Might's real name will have the number eight in it, since he's the eighth wielder…..And then all the previous wielder's name would correspond to their number of being the holder of One For All during their time." Nejire commented with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"…I have nothing to add to Nene's theory…." Izuku thought, taking a mental note to speak to All Might about his own master's name.
"Hang on a minute. Does that make All Might…Quirkless when he was born?" Nejire asked, becoming curious.
"Yes. All Might was like me, wanting to become a hero despite being Quirkless." Izuku said with a sheepish smile on his face.
"…..That's pretty scary if you think about it. The number one hero being born Quirkless and it was by chance that he managed to get to become a hero, the number one hero no less." Nejire commented with a slight frightened expression on her face.
"Yeah…..Just like me." Izuku agreed, thinking about the events that lead up to him become the ninth wielder of One For All.
"…..Wait a minute. If you have One For All, then what has All Might has been using up until that fight at Kamino Ward?" Nejire asked, becoming curious.
Izuku took a deep breath before speaking.
"When a current wielder of One For All pass the Quirk onto someone else, they're still able to use it for a limited time before running out of power. A bit like the embers of a dieing flame." Izuku explained, causing Nejire to nod her head before realizing something.
"So that's the reason why All Might retired from hero work, because he ran out of power from the fight with that villain." Nejire pointed out, causing Izuku to nod his head in response.
"But why did he decided to look for a successor now? He's not close to retirement age, right?" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to quickly shake his head.
"No. The reason why All Might was looking for a successor now is because six years ago, All Might fought the same villain which resulted in him receiving a fatal wound that reduced his usage of One For All to three hours a day." Izuku explained, causing Nejire to nod her head.
"That's explain a lot of things actually, like how he went missing for three months, being less active during his heroic work and choosing to take up a teaching position at UA to take things easy, right?" Nejire asked, staring right at Izuku, startling at her quick evaluation.
"Y-yeah, your right about a-all of that." Izuku replied, scratching the side of his cheek.
However, it was then that a thought appeared within Nejire's head.
"Speaking about the villain of Kamino nightmare, his Quirk is practically the opposite of One For All, a stealing Quirk and a sharing Quirk. Is there a connection between the two?" Nejire asked, becoming curious.
This cause Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"Yes, there is a connection between the two Quirks." Izuku replied, causing Nejire to perk up.
"Can you tell me! Please! Please!" Nejire begged, gaining a puppy expression on her face.
This cause Izuku to smirk slightly, not bothered to tell Nejire off for being too loud.
"Sure. But be aware though, this story isn't a kind one though." Izuku said in a slightly serious tone of voice, causing Nejire to tilt her head to the side slightly.
Izuku began to tell Nejire about the era of when Quirks started to appear, causing the decay of society and All For One using his powers to control Japan before speaking about the seemingly Quirkless younger brother who decided to fight against All For One before receiving the stockpile Quirk which fused with his birth Quirk, creating One For All. Izuku finished about how the younger brother decided to entrust the task of defeating All For One to the future generation through One For All.
When Izuku finished the story, silence filled the room.
"That's…some story." Nejire said after a minute of silence.
"Yes, it is overwhelming." Izuku commented, causing Nejire to nod her head in agreement.
"And what did you say to All Might about the task that he giving you?" Nejire asked, sounding a bit scared.
"I said that "I'll do it" Immediately." Izuku replied, causing Nejire's eyes to widened in fear.
"Seriously? You just accepted to fight against a few centuries year old villain?!" Nejire asked, half hoping that she misheard Izuku.
"Yes, because I knew that All Might would be with me…." Izuku replied, saying what he said during the meeting with All Might…..although that won't likely come into reality.
"Well, at least All For One is in prison now so that you don't have to fight him." Nejire said in a relieve tone of voice.
"That's true. But there's still the Tomura Shigaraki, All For One's successor, and the other members of the League Of Villains. Plus I'm supposed to be All Might's successor as the symbol of peace. " Izuku pointed out, causing Nejire to nod her head in agreement.
"That's some task you have to do. Hehehe, you have competition for the number one space in the form of Mirio Togata." Nejire commented whilst giggling slightly.
".…..He was another candidate of One For All." Izuku said, causing Nejire to gain a shock expression on her face.
"Your serious?!" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"I guess that makes sense since Togata is the strongest student at UA plus being the next candidate for being the next number one hero." Nejire said with a thoughtful expression on her face before another thought appeared in her head.
"Is that why Sir Nighteye offered him a Work Study, to shape him into a better vessel? Sir Nighteye would have known about One For All in his time with All Might." Nejire asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Yes. Sir Nighteye wanted Togata to inherit One For All from All Might." Izuku explained, causing Nejire to frown slightly.
"Well, it looks like that part of the plan failed since you gained One For All before Togata went on his Work Study." Nejire said, a smile appearing on her face.
However, Izuku shook his head, causing the cyan hair girl to become confuse.
"Sir Nighteye…..didn't approve All Might's decision of making me the next wielder of One For All. The sole reason of why Sir Nighteye offered me a Work Study was not to gain experience of becoming a better hero….but to gain experience of who is the better candidate for One For All." Izuku explained, causing Nejire to become silent for a few seconds before widening his eyes.
"So Nighteye was basically forcing you to give up One For All?" Nejire asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"But….that's practically making him a villain!" Nejire exclaimed, sounding angry.
"Yeah….that's one way of putting it….." Izuku said in a low tone of voice.
"But…did you managed to changed his mind with the Yakuzu incident?" Nejire asked, remembering Sir Nighteye saying how the future events that happened were different from the ones that he saw.
"Yes. He mentioned about how I somehow changed his way of thinking…..not sure what he meant though since he was on his deathbed." Izuku explained, scratching the back of his head.
"….You were going to die." Nejire said in a low tone of voice, but Izuku managed to hear her.
"W-what?!" The dark green hair boy said in a shock tone of voice.
"In the future that Nighteye saw, Kai Chisaki killed you." Nejire explained, causing Izuku's eyes to widened before gaining a thoughtful expression on his face.
"So what happened that cause the future events to change? Is Eri's Quirk possibly involved since its time related." Izuku muttered as thoughts started to fill his head.
Nejire giggled slightly.
"What?" Izuku asked, becoming confuse.
"I just told you were going to die, and you started to think of how you managed to escape death. You should be relieved." Nejire explained, causing a small smile to appear on Izuku's face.
"Yeah. I guess that's true." Izuku said in a sheepish tone of voice.
"Right! Should we think about going to sleep now?" Nejire asked, clapping her hands together slightly.
"I should be the one saying that since this is my room." Izuku muttered, causing Nejire to giggle slightly.
"Well, I am the senior one after." Nejire pointed out with a smirk on her face.
"Hows that a factor?" Izuku asked, sweat-dropping slightly.
"It just is." Nejire said with a smile on her face before kissing Izuku on the lips.
Its the next day and surprisingly, most of Class 1-A are awake.
"Everyone! Please remember to eat a healthy breakfast!" Tenya reminded everyone, doing his duty of Class President.
Whilst most of the class responded to what Tenya just said, a few ignored him.
"Ashido? What are you looking at?" Kyoka asked, noticing that the pink skin girl is staring at her phone.
"Oh, just some photos." Mina replied before showing the jack-eared girl the photos of Izuku and Nejire in "their" hero costumes.
Kyoka snorted slightly as a smirk appeared on her face.
"Come on now, Jiro. Think about Midoriya's feelings with what just happened yesterday." Momo explained in a slightly strict tone of voice.
"Like you one to talk. You had a smile on your face when you took photos of Midoriya and Hado." Kyoka pointed out, causing Momo to gain a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
"W-well, I must admit it was amusing to see Midoriya wearing a female hero costume." Momo confessed, a slight blush appearing on her face.
"Yeah, I think that Hado enjoyed the experience as well." Mina pointed out with a smirk on her face.
"Of course she did. Hado was the one who thought up the idea in the first place." Ochako pointed out in a deadpan tone of voice, joining in the conversation.
"I wonder if she received any punishment?" Tsuyu asked, gaining a curious expression on her face.
"I highly doubt it. It was a harmless prank after all. Mr Aizawa seemed to enjoyed it." Momo pointed out, causing those around her to nod their heads.
"Hey! Why don't we do something similar." Toru asked, suddenly appearing, despite being invisible.
"Like swapping hero costumes…..?" Mina asked, raising a eye brow.
"Yeah!" Toru replied whilst nodding her head.
"Hmmm. That sounds interesting to do in our spare time." Momo mused with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"As long I'm not wearing Hagakure's costume, I'm okay." Kyoka said, causing Toru to gain a shock expression on her face.
"What's wrong with my hero costume?!" Tori exclaimed, feeling offended.
"Well, it just a pair of gloves, shoes ans a belt….." Kyoka replied, starting to feel embarrassed.
"Oh come on! You need to be more confident in yourself!" Toru said before suddenly hugging Kyoka.
"H-hey! Knock it off!" Kyoka exclaimed, trying to break free of Toru's hug.
It was then that the sound of the elevator is heard, causing everyone to turn their heads to see Izuku coming out of it.
"Morning, Midoriya. Had a good sleep?" Ejiro asked with a wide smile on his face.
"Yes, I had a good sl-!" Izuku began to reply before gaining shock expression on his face when he noticed that everyone is present in the common room.
"What's with the shock expression on your face? Are you feeling okay, Midoriya?" Fumikage asked, raising a eye brow.
"Its nothing. T-thanks for a-asking." Izuku replied in a slight nervous tone of voice before making his way towards the kitchen.
"Really? You don't sound that your fine." Ojiro pointed out, sounding concerned.
"I said that I'm fine." Izuku repeated himself as he started to get stuff out for breakfast.
"I think Midoriya must be feeling traumatize from what happened yesterday." Mezo said, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"Y-yeah, something like that." Izuku replied, trying to focus on his task.
"So, are you planning on wearing another female hero costume?" Hanta asked with a smirk on his face.
"N-NO!" Izuku exclaimed, starting to blush.
"Oh come on now, I think that everyone knows that you secretly enjoyed it." Hanta said, his smirk widening on his face.
"I-I did not e-enjoyed it!" Izuku shouted, his blush growing.
"Are you planning on lending your hero costume to another female student?" Denki asked, deciding to join on the teasing.
This cause the female classmates to perk up before staring at Izuku, waiting for a response.
"N-no." Izuku replied, not making eye contact with anyone.
"I wouldn't mind….." Ochako thought with a blush on her face.
"Come on now, everyone. I think that enough teasing towards, Midoriya. I think he wants to forget the experience all together." Tenya said, deciding to come to Izuku's rescue.
"That's a bit difficult though, since we have photos!" Mina said whilst holding up her phone.
"Plus Nene emailed those photos to Ryukyu." Izuku added in his head as he finished his preparations before starting to head back to the elevator.
"Where are you going, Midoriya?" Todoroki asked, becoming curious as well as causing Izuku to freeze slightly.
"I'm going to have breakfast in my room, there's a few things that I need to finish." Izuku explained, starting to sweat slightly.
"Really, Midoriya? I thought that you would be updated with your homework before the next school day." Tenya said with a slight frown on his face.
"Hehehe. Sorry about that." Izuku said with a sheepish smile on her face.
"Hey guys!" A voice suddenly called, causing the class to turn their heads towards the door to see Mirio, Tamaki and Yuyu, all three of them having slightly panic expressions on their faces.
"Morning. What are you three doing here?" Tenya asked raising a eye brow.
"What's up with the panic expressions, Ribbit?" Tsuyu asked, placing a finger to her chin.
"Well, we can't find Hado." Mirio replied, causing mostly everyone to gain confuse expressions on their faces.
"What do you mean by you can find her?" Ochako asked, tilting her head to the side.
"She isn't in her room when a classmate tried to wake her up. Most of the class are looking for her." Yuyu explained, causing the class to glance at each other. "When was the last time you seen Hado?" Momo asked, acting calmly.
"It was yesterday. Hado decided to go to bed early, something that has been going on for a while." Mirio explained, causing Momo to nod her head slightly.
"And does she get out of bed earlier then everyone else?" Momo asked, thinking of the possibility.
"She has been for a while, yes. But she usually finish early morning training a while ago." Mirio replied, causing most of Class 1-A to become worried.
However, at this point, Izuku is sweating profoundly.
"This is bad timing! Nene must eat breakfast and head back to the third year dorms." Izuku thought, referring to the plate of sandwiches that he made for Nejire and himself.
It was then that the sound from the elevator is heard, causing everyone to become confuse as they turn their attention towards the elevator.
"…..Everyone from Class 1-A is present, right?" Tenya asked whilst glancing around and doing a head count.
The elevator's doors opened to reveal a figure that has a bed cover wrapped around them, hiding their features.
"…..Who are you?" Tenya asked, becoming more confuse.
However, the figure didn't made a response but moved forward sleepily for a few steps before stopping.
Everyone suddenly became tense when the bed-covered figure started to sniff the air for a few seconds before focusing their attention onto Izuku.
"Midoriya…..do you know why they are looking at you…." Fumikage asked, raising a eye brow.
However, before a response can be made, the figure suddenly lunged towards Izuku.
"Midoriya!" Everyone exclaimed, a few preparing to help the dark green hair boy.
However, the figure just swiped one of the sandwiches off the plate that Izuku holding and started to munch on it, making a sleepy happy sound.
"…..Eh?" Everyone asked, becoming confuse again.
"Since when did UA became hunted and the ghost is eating?" Tamaki asked Mirio who has a blank expression on his face.
However, the bed-covered figure heard him.
"Hey! Who are you calling a ghost?!" The figure shouted whilst removing the bit of the bed cover that is covering the figure's head, revealing the figure to be Nejire.
"…Hado. What are you doing here?" Yuyu asked whilst Tamaki recovered from being shouted at.
"It was getting late so I decided to crash down in Izuku's room." Nejire replied sleepily, not realizing that there are other people in the room.
"You…..slept in Deku's room….?" Ochako muttered, trying not to believe what she just heard.
"Yes. Isn't that normal?" Nejire asked as she finished her sandwich and took another one, still thinking that she's speaking to Yuyu.
"NO IT'S NOT!" The entirety of Class 1-A shouted whilst Yuyu face palmed herself.
It took a few seconds for Nejire to realize that Class 1-A are present as well.
"…Morning, guys. Have a good sleep?" Nejire asked awkwardly before laughing.
"Er…..yes. We had a good sleep." Momo asked whist having a confuse expression on her face.
"Midoriya…" A low voice growled, causing Izuku to turn his head to see Minoru with a dark aura surrounding him.
"Mineta?" Izuku asked, starting to back away and becoming scared.
"What does she mean by sleeping in your room!?" Minoru shouted before grabbing Izuku and shaking him.
"G-get off, Mineta!" Izuku said as he tried to push the "purple" haired student off him.
"Stop bothering Midoriya, Mineta." Kyoka said before attacking Minoru with her jacks. "Gah!" Minoru exclaimed as the jacks pierce his eye balls.
"Thanks, Jiro." Izuku said with a small smile on his face.
"Your welcome. Now explain yourself." Jiro said with a faint smile on her face and Izuku shivered slightly.
"W-well…." Izuku tried to say something but couldn't as he felt all eyes on him.
Thankfully, Nejire came to the rescue.
"It looks like that the cat is out of bag now, Zuzu." Nejire said before taking a hold of one of Izuku's hands.
"Me and Zuzu are girlfriend and boyfriend." Nejire announced, causing silence to fall around the room.
"…..WHAT!?" Everyone exclaimed at the same time.
And there we have it, Izuku telling Nejire about One For All, along with the origin story, and Class 1-A finally finding out about the relationship. By the way, before it was officially announced about Nana's birth Quirk (which I won't tell in case for spoilers), I had a theory that it revolves around emotions because Nana talks about feelings a lot. Nana's birth Quirk is a bit of a surprise because Quirks usually reflect the personality of the wielder and her Quirk would be suitable for someone with Ochako's personality.
So, what do you guys think?
Please review and until next time.
Yakutsu Zaishiro: 1) Yep, and you saw Inko's usual reaction when something good happens to Izuku, crying her eyes out.
2) Sorry, but the telling of One For All happened differently.
3) I already have that planned, plus I think that Eri will be too scared at that point to face an entire crowd of people.
Ryuzaki Uchida: Your welcome.
Gunblade2020: 1) Yep, what do you think classmates are for?
2) Well, it is an idea that is circling Nejire's head.
acosta perez jose ramiro: That's Aizawa for you.
EmpireReign: Well, there's your answer.
Master Warrior: I think its called "There's something wrong with my suit".
Wall: Yes she will.
