Ok i'll admit it here, I flat out folded on writing that Re: Zero chapter. I really wanted to do it too but quickly realized that I completely sucked at writing horror. It's pretty much the antithesis of what I do on a regular basis, even more so than the emotional writing that I've been trying to incorporate lately.

Instead I hope you all enjoy this chapter featuring another popular Izuku that I've wrote. Yup, Volume 2 little green is getting his second chapter, it's even more relevant considering the content of my latest chapter in said story. I'mma refer to this Izuku by his class btw. So Paladin for now.

The scene opens up with the watchers relaxing around the small room they've all grown accustomed to. Asobi had left minutes earlier, saying that he needed to make some preparations for the next multiverse viewing. Knowing that this usually meant chaos, along with what was said during the last episode the watchers decided to relax while they still could.

Which was a pretty good decision considering the fact that the next time they saw Asobi it was with him being launched back into the room at high speeds, hitting a table instantly breaking it and getting knocked unconscious for several seconds.

"Did you really think that would work twice?! I thought you said we had a week?!" An angry, familiar voice could be heard from the doorway where Asobi came from as the watchers could hear footsteps coming closer. As this was happening Asobi was slowly but surely getting back on his feet. A sheepish grin on his face.

"Ok. I admit, not my smartest move. But in my defense I'm still angry about that carpet." A freshly healed I snarked back while the one that threw him walked into the room. It was another Izuku, no surprise there, but what did surprise the others was that he was one they met earlier.

"Hey isn't that the Izuku-san that got isekai'd?" Surprisingly it was Pony who spoke up and recognized the specific Izuku first. The visitors' eyes widened slightly but regained his composure easily enough.

"That would be me. I'm surprised you still remember, it's been a few months since we last met." Surely after such a long time and with so many worlds to view they must have seen things that would make his world seem terribly generic.

"Months? We've only been here for a few days at most. It was only yesterday that you visited." Wow the temporal differences between their worlds were different. Even compared to his old one that ran at 1/6th the speed, this was just ridiculous!

"Yeah, sorry to say but your world is essentially in the multiverse equivalent of the boonies. It's far removed from most other universes which is why gods have to directly summon others into said world." I explained to the visitor. As I was doing that a few more people came from the portal I made. Team Green was present and accounted for!

"It's not all bad though, as I said nothing short of a god could travel that distance through the interdimensional void so it's mostly safe from dimension travelling prankster vampires." Izuku and his team gave me questioning looks while the others face faulted. "What? They're surprisingly common!"

"The idiots' comments aside, why the hell is this Deku and his harem here again?" The answer to that was pretty obvious but Bakugo wanted to know the specifics. It was rare for them to revisit the same world like this.

"A lot has happened in the last few months so it might have something to do with that." The former baron now governor and probably soon to be duke Izuku admitted.

"Like what?" Yagi questioned not expecting an immediate answer.

"Well I'm there for one." It took several seconds for everyone to notice who one of the members of Team Green was. His increase in weight making him look completely different.

"Oh...Did I at least die well?" Oh boy.

"..." Healthy Might decided it was best if his other self didn't know. He'd probably die of embarrassment right then and there.

With that awkward and hopefully not foreshadowing moment over with I decided that it would be best if he set everything up now. In the meantime the watchers and Paladin caught up with each other. Paladin liked the chance to speak with his old friends once again. Along with that Team Green introduced themselves properly.

"Pleasure to meet you all. My name is Belzerg Stylish Sword Iris, but please just call me Iris like everyone else!" Iris introduced herself first, her royal manners giving way slightly to her excitement at getting to meet some of her fiance's old friends.

"Well aren't you just the cutest little princess!" Mina immediately pounced on her, enamored by her cuteness though she had no idea how accurate she really was.

"Eh? How did you know I was a princess?" Mina stopped dead in her tracks, several others freezing when they heard that.

"So, we have a noblewoman, two cute wizard loli's, and goddess-'' Mineta started only to get interrupted by a certain redhead.

"Two goddesses." Wolbach mentioned while pointing at herself, knowing all too well where this was going.

"Thank you, two goddesses! What's next, a sexy waitress and secretary combo?" Paladin couldn't meet his eyes as he found a particularly fascinating piece of furniture directly where Mineta wasn't. "Oh come one! That's just not fair!" The grape exclaimed, tears of blood in his eyes.

"Is he always like that? Megumin by the way, and this is YunYun. As the midget correctly guessed we're mages! The strongest mages from the strongest clan in all of Belzerg!" She ended her introduction with a pose, several skeptical looks went their way before the next member introduced herself.

"I am Darkness, it's a pleasure to meet you. My class is Crusader, the unbreakable wall that protects my party! Don't believe me? Go ahead hit me! I'm sure at least one of you can give me something good!" She started to go into one of her episodes before Kazuma stepped in and slapped her over the head, pushing her away.

"She's also a total maso. Ignore her, seriously she gets off on it. Anyway, yo! I'm Kazuma, Izuku-nii's third in command!" Which was sadly true, after all other than Eris would Paladin really give the reigns over to any other member? Just imagining a party controlled by Megumin, Darkness, or god forbid Aqua sent a shiver down the spines of all who knew them.

"That's enough Kazuma-kun, leave Darkness-chan alone it's not like we can stop her for long anyway." She scolded Kazuma a bit before addressing the viewers. "Hello, I'm the goddess of fortune Midoriya Eris. A pleasure." It was her turn to troll Izuku.

"Eh?! You already took his last name!" Ochako questioned in shock. She knew this was inevitable considering how many beautiful women were around Deku but this soon!

"Of course, it's not like I had one beforehand besides he's my fiance too. And it's far from the only thing I took from him." She said with her signature saucy wink, causing a heavy blush to form on the faces of everyone who understood the subtext.

"Lucky bastard."

"Indeed. What did you expect from my chosen? I'm the goddess of fortune after all. Though his luck was rather high before I met him anyway." The same went with Kazuma. Some people just had protagonist luck she supposed.

"Welp that's everything. Any suggestions on what to see first little green?" Both Izuku's and Kazuma raised their heads at that. "Ok that was my bad, I meant the Paladin." Said knight in crimson armor took a moment to think it through. The other crimson wearing member of his party spoke up first though.

"How about the first time he met my parents?! Oh! Oh! What about that time he beat Funifura-chan, Dodonko-chan, Arue-chan, and Nerimaki-chan at the same time!" Megumin piped up, YunYun immediately backing her up. Many of the watchers seemed interested but some were skeptical.

"Why the hell would we want to see that? A fight sounds fine but if it's just against a bunch of little girls then what's the point?" Bakugou mocked, earning two fiery glares from the two implied 'little girls' the smaller of which looked about ready to pounce the blonde bomber.

"Kacchan, careful what you say these two can definitely hold their own. Frankly I doubt any of you guys could really beat them in a 1 on 1 fight." Paladin said catching everyone by surprise. It wasn't like Izuku to say such things without being able to back it up.

"Young Midoriya. Explain?" All Might was the first to respond, confusion obvious.

"To make a long story short. Video game physics are bullshit. Physically speaking these two aren't very strong. But what's important is the strength of their magic. Megumin-chan can effectively annihilate a small country with her explosion magic." Many jaws drop at that.

"While YunYun-chan has extremely high versatility with combat and utility magic. Combined they could probably give both your classes a run for their money." and with that the jaw drops turned into denials fueled by broken pride.

"Yeah yeah, blow to your collective pride, useless Deku, collective calls of bullshit. Let's just start the projection and show you." Doing said thing the scene opened up to Paladin's first meeting with the explosion loli's parents. And all the hijinks that came of it.

I was busy being stared at by Megumin's parents who both had hungry looks in their eyes. Literally. Hyoizaburaoo gave a dry cough to catch my attention which I freely gave, rubbing my head sheepishly in apology for not paying attention.

"… Thanks for taking care of my daughter. I express my sincere gratitude for that." Hyoizaburoo said as he lightly bowed to me. Besides him was a beautiful lady who resembles Megumin, with a head of black hair and slight wrinkles on the corner of her lips and eyes.

"It's obvious that you've been a good influence on her. The daughter I know would have shot off an explosion at the invading soldiers without hesitation, instead she just sat back calmly. I almost couldn't believe my eyes!" Yuiyui praised, looking genuinely shocked. I'll admit Megumin was pretty bad at the beginning but she wasn't that bad! Right?

"...Was she really that bad? And what was that about an invading army?" Momo asked while staring at the loli in question. Hearing that she was a trigger happy girl that could destroy small countries made her just a bit concerned.

"Yeah. I'll admit I was a bit overzealous about my explosion magic. To be fair I could only do it once a day back then so it was hard for me to get it out of my system. Oh and my village used to get attacked by orcish soldiers and demonic generals on a weekly basis. We got used to it and used them as target practice." Megumin admitted while casually admitting to mass murder.

"...You said used to. What stopped it?" Tsuyu read between the lines hoping she was wrong.

"Hmm? Izuku-kun intimidated them into submission and then recruited them into our country's army." ….Nobody quite knew how to respond to that one. Bakugo chose to ignore it while a few just added it to the 'Izuku does cool shit' list.

"… Well then. What is your relationship with my daughter?" Hyoizaburoo asked, though his tone gave away that he already had suspicions.

"She's my teammate, one of my best friends, and my girlfriend." I answer honestly, which to my surprise brought tears to the grown man's eyes.

"It finally happened.. MY LITTLE GIRL HAS FINALLY SNAGGED A RICH HUSBAND!" He yelled to the heavens, slamming his fists on the table, cracks forming immediately. "My dear, hurry! Serve him our best tea!"

...Eh?!

"EEH?!" The watchers conquered, half sweat dropping and half face faulting at the father's reaction.

"Hubbyyyyy! Stop! Don't hit and damage the table! Our finances are really tight this month!" Yuiyui begged, trying to calm her husband down before he caused any more damage. Wait their finances are low? "Besides you can't jump to conclusions like that! It might scare him away! Besides, we only have one type of tea.."

A-Are things really that bad? Oh wait! I forgot to bring them a gift for letting us stay here! "Ah my apologies I completely forgot to bring a gift to thank you for the hospitality! Allow me." I start by placing my hands on the wooden table and fixing any cracks that formed from earlier with transmutation. Afterwards I grabbed an arrow from my pack, transmuting it into pure gold before holding it up to the two wide eyed parents.

'Right. That's a thing he can do. No wonder they were so excited, just imagining a Deku that can literally create gold just like that…' Ochako pretty much drooled at the prospect. Not that she was just a gold digger or anything! She appreciated Deku just the way he was! Really! It's just…'Air conditioning, all the mochi I can eat…'

Megumin noticed this and just gave Ochako a wry smile. She knew a fellow 'soon to be convert' when she saw one. Though since there are two Izuku's now she might not have to prepare for this one...Yet.

"Just how rich are you Deku-kun? We know that you live in a mansion but I'm just curious." Melissa voiced the unasked question. Honestly Paladin didn't even know himself.

Kazuma, as the designated finance manager of the party noticed this and answered it himself. "We have about 3-4 billion yen's worth in liquid assets give or take a few million. Counting everything we own, including our land and the financial resources that ruling a town implies I'd set us at a comfortable 15-20 billion yen, depending on how good our taxes are that day. Of course that latter figure really isn't ours but we do have a lot of influence on how it's used." He said after taking a few moments to do some rough calculations in his head. Needless to say the watchers were stunned by this, some of them even fainted from the ridiculous number.

Kazuma using this to his advantage struck up a conversation with the watchers. "So..You guys were Izuku-nii's former classmates. We've heard a lot about you." He started catching their attention again.

"Oh yeah? And what did Deku tell you?" Bakugou asked first.

"Oh a lot of things. How you were all cool, had your own unique powers, and that you were the asshole of the group." He took a cheap shot at his bro's childhood enemy.

"The fuck did you say about me Deku!" Bakugo exploded, literally this time as he swung at Kazuma only to hit nothing but air. "Stay still you little shit! Don't think I know that those that talk the loudest are usually the weakest!" The very ironic statement aside he wasn't getting very close to actually hitting Kazuma, his fairly high DEX stat and dodge training with Izuku making itself useful. Chuckling the whole time as a long game of cat and mouse begins.

Hyoizaburoo grabbed the arrow from my hand and applied a bit of pressure, the soft, pure gold molded itself easily into his hands causing his jaw to drop. "T-This is pure gold! OUR DAUGHTER'S HUSBAND JUST TURNED WOOD INTO GOLD!" He screamed to the heavens before tackling and lifting me over his head, swinging me around in a bone breaking hug.

'Ok bone breaking might be a bit of an exaggeration. *sigh, why did I think anything related to Megumin was going to be easy?' After another few minutes of being swung around like a flail, and several more of Hyoizaburoo apologizing profusely we came to the topic of dinner. Another mistake of mine, I should have known that it would be difficult to provide for so many people on such short notice!

"Again I'm very sorry! I'm usually a lot more organized than this.. Yunyun-chan, can you teleport us to the mansion? I'd like to pick up some food for everyone." The cry of 'mansion!' was ignored as Yunyun grabbed onto me and teleported us without complaint.

"Well that's certainly one way to get out of an uncomfortable situation. I gotta admit that was pretty entertaining." Todoroki certainly wished he could peace out of a deteriorating family moment like that so easily.

"That wasn't my intention! I just wante- Oh whatever. Just get on with the next scene I'll be hanging out with mom for a bit." Paladin walked off to be with an excited Inko, happy to see a version of her son that came out so well and even managed to basically guarantee her other self an infinite supply of grandkids to spoil! And the money to do so!

"Light of Saber!" A rather large, quick, but also telegraphed attack headed towards me. It was dodged with shocking ease. I had no time to appreciate the light show though since Freeze Bind was heading my way.

With my already high constitution stat along with my Blessing of Constitution I barely felt a chill. The status debuffs associated with the spell were either ignored or cleansed instantly using Cleanse Magic. Seeing this my opponents decided to go all out instead of whittling me down with debuffs.

"Inferno!""Tornado!" "Earthquake!" A huge mass of flame was spawned around me, which was then accelerated and fueled by the winds of the tornado spell. Dealing with a fire tornado and an earthquake at once was a bit much, especially so close to the village so I decided to end our match right there.

"Detroit Smash!" I slammed the ground at full force, halting the earthquake while also displacing the tornado that burned around me. When I noticed that no more spells were heading my way I turned towards the girls that challenged me were pooling their mana together for a final large spell, hoping to overpower me.

"You can use 100% already!" Yagi exclaimed. Sure he displayed some pretty explosive growth the last time they saw him but this was just ridiculous! And he got so good in less than 6 months?!

"No, that was about 50%. The increased base stats I get from leveling just makes OFA stronger as a result. I can use 100% consistently using my Full Set, but that's reliant on equipment. Though there is this-" Paladin let loose a bit of his Black Whip, showcasing it to the watchers.

"It turns out that after achieving a certain level of OFA the quirks of the former wielders can be used as well. Don't ask me, I have no idea why it took 9 wielders to get to this point, it just did." Well that put another huge piece of information on our Izuku's plate. Along with some very jealous looks from his classmates.

I simply pointed my hand towards them and activated Magic Canceller. Upon noticing that their spell failed, their shoulders dropped along with their legs. Too tired to remain standing. "I guess that's it then. Are you four satisfied now?" I asked the mages on the ground. The only response I got were a few coughs and calls of 'hax'

"What did you think was going to happen? I have like.. 50 levels over you? And a build designed to deal with multiple opponents quickly, this was only ever going to end one way." I guess the chuuni attitude made them forget that.

"Damn straight, those three got curb stomped. What was that about anyway? It ain't like you to curbstomp the weak Deku." Bakugou had to ask, they didn't think they actually had a chance did they? Hell some of the extras from his own class could probably take em.

"It was Megumin-chan's idea. They had a bet that said if I lost they'd get to be my girlfriends instead. Which I resent not having a say in by the way!" Paladin gave Megumin a playful noogy remembering that fight.

"And now I would show these guys the battle between you and All Might over here but on second thought not showing it to them would be infinitely more amusing!" I said with a massive grin on my face as I gave the watchers my best Bender evil laugh. Yes! Yes! Let the rage consume you, your anguish sustains me! *cough, apologies about that. Back to the visitors. "Which means I no longer have a use for you! BEGONE!" And with that the door to our room opened as a cartoonishly giant boot smacked into Paladin, sending him back from whence he came. Leaving his harem + Kazuma and All Might to worry and chuckle respectively at what I just did.

"The rest of you can walk. I just love messing with that guy. Keep him on his toes y'know. See you all in a week!" I waved them off as they left one by one.

And hopefully Asobi's comment about a week's time is only true in the story. With this chapter done I can get back to some other work that I have on the back burner. Hope you all enjoyed this and sorry again for the lack of Re: Zero chapter.
