I Live!, sorry for the delayed chapter but I should be up and running again with a decent schedule soon, but for a consolation prize I spent a month developing the Lore for my setting a fusion of the Nasuverse and MHA with a dash of others, nothing too crazy just some characters and events to flesh out the world, and as a result I'm not going to be jumping into canon territory for a while.
One more note for those worried, Izuku will not be a Shirou clone he won't be using projection to any major effect; other characters however are fair game maybe a certain rich girl.
Also, I'm curious did anyone like the idea for his 'quirk' it's not too out there even by canon standards, I think.
Izuku awoke and went through his daily routine and prepared to go enjoy a final breakfast with his grandparents, as he and his mom were prepping to return to Musutafu a few days early to get settled back in. After drying off he arrived at the living room to see his grandfather hanging up his phone with a sigh with him grumbling about an old friend and babies. A few minutes later his grandmother came in with a tray filled with food and asked her husband, "So did Sohei call to brag about his granddaughter again dear."
He let out another sigh and responded, "Yeah, he did," he then hummed as he flicked through his messages landing on a picture of a little girl that appeared about one with blueish-grey hair and a small horn poking though at her hairline, "little Eri is cute though."
His grandmother looked over his shoulder with a fond smile, "Yes, she is cute as a button," she laid out the plates, "But he could do without pestering us about it every other day," She let out with a huff.
"I think its revenge for letting Inko rampage around his house when she was a kid," he replied remembering his little terror tear through his friends' home.
"Oh, she did terrorize his men at every chance didn't she, especially Chisaki," She hummed out.
"Especially Chisaki, she loved to see his reactions to him getting dirty," he said as he poured himself a cup of tea.
Izuku sat there enjoying hearing stories of his mother's antics when she was young. A few minutes later the topic of said discussion arrived fresh from the shower with a smile on her face, which quickly turned into a nervous expression at hearing the discussion at hand. Breakfast continued with his grandparents teasing his mother with stories of her adventures as a child her face at the end making her resemble a tomato.
The day went by rather fast as Izuku and his mother finished making extra preparations for their trip home as they had to run and get a birdcage and supplies for Yatta and Inko making orders for her outfit and gear. After a few hours of running around town, Izuku let out a content sigh as he finished packing up his suitcase and the trunk and started moving towards the living room of the home preparing to leave with his mother. A moment later Izuku saw his mother come into the living room with her suitcase and the briefcase that held her 'costume', he took note of the tiger stripe shinai bag and let out a small nervous chuckle as the feeling of phantom aches and pains spread over his body before quickly fading.
A few minutes later the family stands outside and say their goodbyes and as they depart his grandfather ends up bringing them into a hug and said, "You two are always welcome here remember that, so if you want to come over for the weekend or any other time we will have you."
The mother-son duo smile at that and after a moment are released from the hug and grab their luggage and start their journey back home.
"Well then let's get going Izuku, don't want to miss the train," His mother said a small smile on her face.
He nods and begins following his mother and lets out a final goodbye, "Bye Mizu-Baachan, Daichi-Jiichan."
His grandparents waved at them as they made their way to the station, he then looked at the small sight of the train station in the distance and thought 'Oh, right other side of town,' he sighed, 'All right then let's get this over with.'
A long walk and many fearful stares focusing on a certain tiger-striped bag later they arrive at the station with just enough time to catch their train, and a few minutes later they sit down in an empty train car. With the sound of the departure melody gently ringing the train begins its journey to Musutafu and with it Izuku decides to release Yatta to stretch his wings as they are alone in the train car, and a moment later a certain tiger spirit pops from its home to play with the crow. Izuku smiles at their antics and pulls out the book of basics to read and looks over the index to find something interesting and settles on mystic codes.
He finds them interesting as they are support items for mages that can vary from a small piece of jewelry to full-blown outfits that host a variety of effects, as he goes through the pages he lands on one describing the use of runes for code creation and feels oddly entranced by them.
About an hour in his mother decides to ask him, "So Izuku what have you decided what your 'Quirk' is going to be because we will have to get you registered soon."
He takes a moment to think about the sheer variety of magecraft he can learn and how he can narrow it down and what would sound realistic but then remembers what he told Tensei the other day and his response, he mumbles out "A creation quirk," and then looks down to the current chapter of the book describing mystic codes and says, "Something not inherently powerful but given time and hard work offers a lot of variety."
His mother hums at that and reply's, "That sounds good now let's work on a name a description and set up a cover story."
They go back and forth but ultimately decide to go with "Enchant: allows the user to give various effects to items," short, simple, and gives him plenty of leeway in what magecraft he could use so he's not too restricted. The story they come up with is the same he told Tensei just more fleshed out given it's not too unbelievable if they show Tora shinai as an example of an ancestor's 'quirk' and how it allowed him to awaken his own.
The journey is a quiet one once the two animals stop playing and return to their respective sleeping spots and so Izuku took advantage of the silence and continued his reading on mystic code creation while his mother enjoyed her own book about a certain revenge-seeking count.
They arrive in the dead of night and groggily make way to their apartment set down their luggage and proceed to get cleaned up and pass out in their own beds.
Izuku wakes up and notices the small weight of Yatta nestled upon his chest and goes to gently lay him in the blanket as he makes his way to get up for the day. Izuku ends up doing his morning stretches as he watches the news frowning as there has been an uptick in crime everywhere from small street-level crimes to rumors of larger criminal groups expanding their operations, he might have to ask his grandfather about that later. Having heard enough Izuku decided to turn off the tv and goes to retrieve some of the materials he bought to test his magecraft.
An assortment of various materials laid Infront of Izuku from wooden and metal odds and ends to plastic and foam toys, and even some small electronics they got on sale. Izuku then flipped on his circuits and began analyzing the various objects, his goal for today was to practice his reinforcement and some alteration by changing the shape of the items.
Clay is shaped and formed with ease basic geometric shapes forming with a single touch while wood is slower but gradually forming cubes, cylinders, and the like after a few minutes of focus. The metal barely budges even after half an hour of focus, so he decided to focus on increasing the speed of his alteration and reinforcement on the other items.
Izuku is broken out of his training by the smell of breakfast and the growl of his stomach and so he cleans up and wanders to the kitchen.
After a pleasant, if light meal with his mother she notifies him that she scheduled an appointment with a new doctor for the next day to register his 'quirk' and that she's going out for a grocery run as after a month the fridge is rather barren.
Izuku spends the rest of the day preparing for tomorrow's demonstration of his 'quirk' he has settled on showcasing his budding abilities with reinforcement and alteration.
The Midoriya family arrive at the hospital around noon ready for Izuku's appointment with their new doctor. After some hassle about Tora Shinai, they check-in and are directed to the doctor's office where they meet a rather young-looking doctor who had a playful smile.
"Ah, you must be the Midoriya's," he then motions for them to sit down, "I'm Dr. Shinra Kishitani, nice to meet you." He flips through his clipboard and his eyes sharpen ever so slightly, "Now it says the reason for today's visit is they Izuku's quirk recently awakened," He asked in curiosity.
Inko replied taking note of his tone, "Yes, that's right Dr. Kishitani, it had happened over the summer while we were at my parents' home."
He hums and grabs a file from his desk and glances through it and frowns, "I see, it appears your old doctor was rather negligent then, looking at it now he did the old pinky toe test and that was it," he sets the file down and sighs out, "You see nowadays when we get a someone who has a double-jointed pinky toe we do a blood test to see if they have an active gene to fully confirm if they are quirkless or simply need a specific trigger, for example needing to eat sunflower seeds to use their quirk."
Izuku perks up and looks at him with curiosity brimming in his eyes and Dr. Kishitani takes note of it and smiles and says, "I had a kid like that the other day, her quirk was a no show then about a month later she ate some sunflower seeds and when she spit them out they quickly grew into little flower creatures."
Izuku went to take some notes of the rather interesting quirk but a look from his mother stopped him and with a cough, the doctor began speaking again, "Now to get back on track can you show me your quirk and explained how you awakened it."
Izuku sucked in a breath and like that he flipped on his circuits the gentle warmth spreading throughout his body as he retrieved a small assortment of items from his pocket, he then looked up to see Dr. Kishitani looking intently at him. Izuku let out a small nervous cough and said, "Um, so far all I've figured out is that I can manipulate objects and make them tougher."
Izuku then proceeded to demonstrate by shaping a little ball of clay into basic shapes and then throwing it on the floor making it deform against the tile a moment later he picked it up and reshaped it into a ball and then applied reinforcement to it repeating the throw but it cracked the tile instead. Izuku paused and then quickly said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."
Dr. Kishitani waved it off and said, "Don't worry about it happens all the time it's not even that bad last week I had a kid that a density increasing quirk that kept going off every time he sneezed he left tiny footprints everywhere," he paused and then continued, "So can I see that for a moment," he then pointed to the clay ball.
Izuku then retrieved and gave it to the doctor who then rolled it around getting a feel for it and asked him to undo what he did. He did so by dispersing the magical energy and gave it back to the doctor who then proceeded to squish it a moment later he said, "Neat quirk you got there Izuku." He then asked a couple of questions about how it feels, if he gets any side effects from overuse, and if he had other effects he could do.
Izuku then answered his questions.
"It feels warm when I use it."
"Ah, I did overuse it a couple of days ago I just felt really tired and drained."
"Umm, I'm not sure but if it's anything like what my ancestor quirk then a lot."
The doctor perked up at the mentions of Izuku's ancestor and asked, "Oh, so you have a quirk similar to a relative then."
Izuku nodded and then his mother answered, "Yes he does, and it would explain about some of the rather odd objects that we have had in the family."
The doctor blinks and asked, "Oh so that's why he said ancestor then, do you know what their quirk was then."
She shook her and said, "No, we don't but I have an example you can look at," she then pulls out Tora Shinai from its bag. At the sight of the Shinai, Dr. Kishitani jerks and pulls a scalpel from somewhere, and Izuku's eyes are drawn to it instantly an odd aura surrounds it but before he can gleam anything more the doctor puts it away and then apologizes for his actions while his mother said that it can have that effect on people. Izuku can see the phantom image of Tora resting on the blade looking intently at the doctor before it fades back into the shinai.
Dr. Kishitani then looks at the shinai cautiously as if it would bite him which it probably would and asked a few questions about it such as how old it was, if it has any strange effects and if it contributed to Izuku's quirk awakening.
His mother paused in thought and then answered his questions, "Well it is about roughly 200 years old I believe and given that a normal shinai gives out after about a year it has something going on with it but when I use it I feel a bit stronger, faster, and my instincts seem better, and Izuku can tell you the rest."
The doctor's observation of Tora lingered for a moment before turning to Izuku and waiting patiently for his answer. Izuku took a breath and replied, "When we went to the dojo at my grandparent's home my mom handed it to me to see what would happen given that when she uses it she gets stronger and when I held it I felt something 'click' I guess and afterwards I awakened my quirk."
The doctor then asked, "So how would you describe your quirk awakening then Izuku."
"I would describe it as when you jumpstart a car I guess," Izuku replied rubbing the back of his head nervously.
The doctor's eye's narrowed in thought and he then said, "I think your analogy fits rather well then, as I see it your ancestor used their quirk to create this 'shinai' and their leftover energy would have jumpstarted your own."
Izuku nodded at that as the doctor asked if they had a name and description picked out, he then complimented him at the name and pulled out some forms for them to go and sign for quirk registration.
After the Midoriya's finished the paperwork he asked if they would like a quick check-up before they leave.
"So, before you go would the two of you like a quick checkup it will only take a few minutes with my quirk."
Izuku perks up at that and quickly asked what his quirk is, "Oh do you have a diagnostics type quirk then doctor."
The man blinked and then replied, "I do have a diagnostics quirk Izuku," he then showed his hands which had small round pads at the end of each finger, "You see anyone I touch with these pads on my fingers I gain information on their health, the longer I hold them the more information I get."
"Wow that's a great quirk for a doctor, I bet it comes in handy a lot at a hospital," Izuku said excited about learning of a new quirk.
"Oh, it is very useful, now let's get your checkup done shall we," he said as he motioned for Izuku to sit down. A few minutes later both Izuku and Inko were given a clean bill of health with just minor recommendations for a more calorie-rich diet if Izuku's quirk began using more energy as he got older.
The Midoriya's left the hospital and returned home glad there visit to the doctor was fruitful and significantly better than their last one.
OMAKE: Interesting patient
Shinra Kishitani opened the door to his home and made way to see his lovely wife to tell her about the most interesting patient he had received to date. Oh, how he loved being a doctor it satisfied his intense curiosity of quirks and various supernatural phenomena, but nothing could quite compare to his darling Celty. He slid into the living room and yelled out, "Celty, I'm home!" and goes to hug the headless rider.
"How was your day Shinra," She typed out.
"Oh, it was great Celty I had the most interesting patient today," he replied
"Must be something to get you this excited."
He nodded and moved to sit on the couch and began to explain his day, "Yes he is, age 10, initially registered as Quirkless but 'awakened' his quirk over the summer," he paused for dramatic effect, "But he's a magus, I wasn't sure at first but by the end, I was certain especially when I used my quirk on him to double-check."
"A magus really, why would a magus go to register their quirk that late."
He nodded at that and said, "Yes it would be odd for a magus family to wait that long, but I believe he's a first-generation magus and a true one at that."
"A first-generation true mage, are you sure, you know how rare they are."
"He is but his family definitely has ties to the supernatural given that they brought a cursed weapon to demonstrate how it could have caused his awakening, it is possible though the magical energy I was picking up off that thing was pretty intense and the Saika blade reacted to it as well so it might have a yokai or familiar bound to it."
"A cursed weapon really."
"Yeah it was a shinai though, but I didn't want to touch the thing at all I felt it would bite my hand off or something."
"So, what else happened."
He paused and then shivered in an overexaggerated manner, "Oh yeah at the end when I told him about my quirk the look in his eyes freaked me out a bit, it was like I was on the operating table and he was giving me an autopsy, and then his quiet mumblings I picked up were scary he was running through theories on how my quirk could work and he got most of it right."
She looked at him, well as good as she could without a head and he got the impression that she was raising an eyebrow and she typed out, "Isn't that what you do though, you got better but I distinctly remember you wanting to dissect several different people whey you were younger and I hear your mumbles about quirk theory."
He pouted at her and said," But this is different though it's fine when I do it but when someone does it to me it's creepy."
*Silence*
"So, do you like the kid or find them creepy."
He smiled at her and said, "Oh, I do like the kid and I think we could get along great," he stood up and made way for the kitchen, "now I'm going to get something to eat."
As he walked to the kitchen Shinra's grin was full force wondering what his newest patient would come up with to stretch the definition of their 'quirk' in the future as he distinctly remembers them talking about hero work.
