R REYES: For the aftermath not much from the teachers end Nezu calmed them down. They were deep in campus so no one on the outside will saw anything. The people on campus felt his pressure though. All for One knows about what All Might did because he has someone always watching Izuku but can't interfere. And I have a few ideas for Fairy Tail characters, don't know for sure yet.
mateyeyo: I plan to have them fight in the future.
Guest: Well he is fused with Acnologia. He was the strongest being in Fairy Tail. Of course, I had to make him that OP.
blackflamealvitr: I had slightly forgotten he had that kind of magic, I might try to add that in some way in the story.
I own nothing but OCs

"Izuku dragon form"
The next 2 weeks for Izuku were spent in the classroom having regular classes, spending time with Mei and his friends, or sparring with Mirio. They sparred during their free heroic's hour or after school. Their spars helped both of them immensely. Mirio got more of One for All under his constant control and could mix both that quirk and his original one better. Izuku refined his form before he fought with pure instinct, now he doesn't have a proper form or anything, but he does have more precise movements and less wasted movements.
As for the rest of the student body, they all watched him many with apprehension, and others with fear. Many have seen go out of control before but to see one that caused the person to become a dragon that frightened them. Izuku didn't care what they thought. He has plenty of memories where people looked at him in fear, so it was like the water of a duck's back for him.
It wasn't just Mirio and him in Gym Gamma either. Nejire and Tamaki were constant fixtures as well. Izuku even sparred with them a few times. There is one spar with Nejire that Izuku keeps thinking about. They were in the middle of a spare and Izuku could only use long-range attacks to match Nejire. So, he kept using ceros and roars. She would be in the air flying trying to get the advantage while Izuku was moving quickly on the ground to try to knock her out of the sky. I as after 30 minutes of constant flying, avoiding Izuku's attacks, and firing her own off did her quirk finally quit on her. She yelped as she started to fall from 40 feet up.
Izuku saw this and quickly jumped and caught her. He landed with a slam and was holding her bridal style. She was half asleep but was looking at him in some form of wonder and something else he couldn't place right at that moment, while he looked down at her. She smiled coyly and said, "My hero~," as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. Then she snuggled into his arms and fell asleep. Izuku just stood frozen not knowing what to do. He couldn't just drop her, and he couldn't just put her somewhere and leave her, even his ever-shrinking conscious wouldn't allow that.
So, Izuku just walked over to a wall and sat down with her head in his lap, not knowing what else to do. When he did though she snuggled up deeper in, so her face was an inch from his stomach. Izuku just quietly groaned at his predicament. As he sat there, he swore he heard someone in his ear. When he looked around and saw no one, he just brushed it off though. He sat there until Mirio and Tamaki showed up because they were late that day. They looked upon them with curious eyes, then Mirio gained a sly grin.
"Izuku you sly dog you," Mirio said with that damned grin. Tamaki having gotten better around Izuku tried to hide his chuckle behind his hand.
"It's not what it looks like I swear." He denied, and then explained what had happened. They just laughed at his predicament. He just scowled and glared at them.
From then on, Nejire would then give him these weird looks like she was trying to figure something out. And every time he would meet her eyes she would blush and look away. He had an idea what that meant, but he didn't want to deal with it because that would mean he would have to deal with his growing feels for her as well. And ever since that day every time he sees her, he hears a voice whisper in his ear.
With all the time he spent with her for those two weeks, it would be hard not to start to gain feelings. She was just so happy and energetic, even more than Mei even, she would constantly compliment him and ask him all kinds of questions and then say how smart he was when he answered them all. She was just so positive, and it was nice to have her around. She was a touchy person like Mei as well, so she would grab his muscles and compare them to Mirio's and Izuku didn't know what to do with the situation. So, he decided to bury those feelings until the sports festival was over.
That wasn't the weirdest thing though. The weirdest part was he started to have some strange dreams since he realized he had feelings for Nejire as well as Mei. It was these dreams where he was talking to a dragon. The weirdest part about those dreams was that he called the dragon he was talking to Acnologia when the dragon looked nothing like Acnologia. This dragon was a greyish white and had dragon hair. He was asking the dragon questions of how dragon culture was different from humans. In these dreams he seemed to by healing the dragon he was talking too. Every night the dream would pick up where it left off the night before. After 3 nights of these dreams, he realized they were more of Acnologia's memories.
Finally, one night he and the dragon got on the topic of love and partners. The dragon said that normal dragons mated for life. So, once you picked your partner that was it until your death. But there was a different class of dragons whose mating was different. These were the dragon kings and they mated for life, yes, but they had more than one mate. The max number was unknown, each king just had as many as they could handle. When Izuku awoke after that one, he just groaned knowing that it would be ok if he had more than one relationship at least by dragon standards but Mei might not like it.
All of class one 1A was waiting in their locker room waiting until they were called out by Present Mic. Everyone was in their gym uniforms plus shoes, excluding Izuku since he wasn't in his hero costume, he straight up told his class "Fuck shoes," so he is currently barefoot as he sat and meditated. He then felt a presence in front of him.
He looked up and came face to face with the Shoko. She had this neutral look that she always had, but there was something different about her look this time, he could see the determination in her eyes. He just lifted an eyebrow at her, "Can I help you with something?" he asked.
"If this was the first day of school, I would have said I was stronger than you. But once I witnessed you destroy something that was supposed to kill All Might I realized that you were far stronger than I had originally thought. Be that as it may, I will not lose to you today I am going to win the festival." She declared to him the others in their class just watched on in awe. All excluding Bakugo who just narrowed his eyes at the situation.
Izuku smirked at this, and something within is mind said that she was worthy. He had no idea what the voice meant but he has to say he was agreeing with it. "May the best man win," is all he said as he stood up and headed towards the door. That is when they got their green light.
Every class was now standing in the arena after Present Mic announced them. Aizawa was also in the booth with him and Izuku wondered how he got stuck up there.
"Alright everyone let's give a round of applause to Izuku Midoriya who will be saying the student pledge for getting the highest score in the entrance exam and breaking 2 UA records while doing so. This fine young man is both brains and brawn, being the only one to 100% the written exam and break the record for most total points in the practical portion with a whopping 190!" The chief referee Midnight announced to the crowd who went wild at the information.
Izuku just growled, "I see Nezu 3 times a week and he left out the part of me having to do this," he said with clear annoyance.
He then straightened out his face to make it blank as he walked up to the platform. He then walked up to the mic and took a breath. He scanned all the first-year classes. "All men are not created equal," he started and caught everyone's attention at the same time. "Some have stronger quirks than others, some have 2 quirks, and some have no quirks at all. Everyone in this world is different there is no exact copy of anybody. Everyone here is different, and I only ask you to do one thing for me today, give me a challenge." He said and walked off the stage without another word. The crowd was stunned for a second but soon clapped their approval.
"What a wonderful speech by class 1A resident Izuku Midoriya. Now on to the first event and that is…" as midnight looked at a spinning wheel. "An obstacle race!" She announced. She then described the rules of the race. They must make one lap around the stadium with difficult obstacles in their way.
Each student lined up ready to begin the race.
"GO!" Midnight shouted, and just like that everyone took off, but something became apparent as the mass of students tried to get through the tunnel. The tunnel became clogged.
It was at this moment that Shoko tried to block off the others with a wall of ice. She was barely passed her ice all when Izuku broke through with a single punch, he was smirking the entire time. She looked back over her shoulder and glared at him.
Since they were out in the open Izuku decide to cut loose. He then launched forward causing a sonic boom in the process. He flew past Shoko as he did. She just glared after him. When the entrance exam robots came into view Izuku just dodged all the smaller ones. When the zero pointers appeared though, Izuku stopped took a deep breath, and roared at the zero pointers destroying the heads of all of them.
This made them all start falling forwards, Izuku just expertly weaved through the mayhem. He just kept running forward. That is when he got to the pits. He then jumped from landing to landing without a second of hesitation. He had a great lead on everyone. Finally got to the last obstacle. It was a minefield. He only stopped for a second before he jumped in the air and kept launching ceros and where he was going to land. When he made it to the end, he cut his speed down and jogged to the finish getting first place.
The crowd went wild at his overwhelming victory. He is now viewed positively by most every hero watching the sports festival. He just stood there with his hand in his pockets and smirked relishing the attention.
It was at this point that Shoko came in second place with Bakugo following right behind in third. A minute later the rest of the students started to make it to the finish line. Only the top 42 contestants so the rest were then ushered off the field. It was then announced the second round would be a cavalry battle where teams of 2 to 4 people would compete to get the headbands of other players. Points were allotted to where you placed in the first event.
Izuku for getting first place got a whopping 10 million. Izuku felt all the eyes on him and just smirked. 'This is going to be fun,' he thought. He then looked around and saw that others were already forming teams. Before he could look for anybody Mei appeared before him. Saying this was a win-win for her. She gets to be with her boyfriend, and she gets to show off her inventions. Izuku just smiled at her and patted her head. He looked around and saw most already have made teams and those teams were all looking at him and Mei.
An idea then struck him, and he grinned like the devil himself. He then grabbed Mei and dragged her towards Midnight who had just announced the 2-minute warning. He asked if his transformation was cheating if he did it after the round started and Mei rode on his back the entire time he was in the form. Midnight just looked at him for a second and before she could respond Nezu voice appeared over the loudspeaker and announced that Izuku's request was approved. Izuku just grinned like an idiot. Many were wondering what his request was because no one heard what he said to Midnight.
Izuku quickly told Mei his plan and her grin matched his, grabbed his headband, and jumped on his back. God, he loved her. Many looked at them confused.
"BEGIN!" Midnight yelled to begin the match. Izuku then whipped around grabbed Mei and with the help of her boots launched her in the air. Many were stunned at what they saw until they felt a wave of power. Every student felt the power before they all froze not knowing what to do. Izuku aura surrounded him and expanded at a rapid rate until it disappeared with the swing of a giant scaled arm.
There in his full glory was him in his dragon form barely fitting in the arena. He lifted his head and roared. Mei then landed on his upper back and sat down and started working on one of her babies. Many of the students and the audience didn't know what to make of the situation. Izuku just looked down at the students and laughed. His classmates who had seen the form before reacted first and started targeting other students. Anyone that came near to Izuku he smacked away with his tail or a clawed hand.
Izuku saw Bakugo eyeing him more than once but he obviously thought better of it. He also had to break an ice attack apart more than once as well. He had to keep an eye on Shoko to make sure she didn't get close to Mei. When Izuku saw the blonde guy, he looked like he was having a brain aneurysm. Izuku just laughed at that.
He and Mei had won first place in the second event without as much as lifting a finger. When Izuku powered down, he again just smirked. The next round is what it always is, a 1v1 fighting tournament.
The 16 people continuing were:
Izuku Midoriya
Mei Hatsume
Shoko Todoroki
Tenya Iida
Momo Yaoyorozu
Denki Kaminari
Katsuki Bakugo
Eijiro Kirishima
Mina Ashido
Hanta Sero
Ochaco Uraraka
Fumikage Tokoyami
Hitoshi Shinso
Neito Monoma
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Ibara Shiozaki
They were told they have a 15-minute break before they announce the first-round matches. That is when Shoko walked up to him and calmly asked him if she could speak with him for a moment. She may have looked calm, but Izuku could see the multitude of emotions in her eyes. Since it they had 15 minutes Izuku agreed and followed her out of the arena into an isolated hallway.
"You almost made me use it." She coolly stated to him.
"Made you use what?" Izuku asked as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"My left side, his fire, I wanted to win so much that I almost used it against you." She told him.
"And why are you only using half your quirk?" Izuku asked with and a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
"Have you ever heard of quirk marriages?" She asked him. When all Izuku did was raise an eyebrow, Shoko then informed him of her parent's sham of a marriage and the of her origins and her father's abuse.
To say Izuku was pissed would be an understatement. He was downright furious, how to anyone let alone the number 2 hero do such things to their family to just reach such a stupid goal. No wonder her mother snapped. Izuku didn't blame her in the slightest.
"So, I have to beat you, to prove to that bastard I don't need his power to be a great hero," she informed him as she turned to leave.
"You know I was quirkless until a year, ago right?" He suddenly asked her with a blank face.
"Yes, you told us, what about it?" She replied looking over her shoulder.
"So, you should know the quirkless in this world are treated like they are lower than dirt. Like they shouldn't exist. I have faced abuse all my life, just like you. Both were caused by this society and their love of people with powerful quirks. Let me tell you this," appearing in front of her then, shocking her slightly, "I am going to win this because I've been put down my whole life. So, if you don't come at me with everything you have, you will be embarrassing us both." With that Izuku walked past her back into the tunnel.
She watched after him for a second, trying to calm down her heart. He looked so scary right there, so serious, and a little hot, that may have turned her on a little bit, she froze at that thought and shook her head and went back to the arena herself.
Izuku walked up to the corner he knew Bakugo was leaning against. "So, how much did you hear of all that?" He asked him.
"I got here when she asked if you knew what quirk marriages were." He informed Izuku with a slight somber look on his face. Izuku just nodded and looked at him.
"We will do nothing about the information for right now, she told me in confidence, so I won't break her trust," Izuku said. Bakugo just nodded as well, they then made their way to the arena.
Right, when they arrived, they announced what the first-round matchups would be:
Izuku Midoriya vs Hitoshi Shinso
Neito Monoma vs. Mina Ashido
Denki Kaminari vs. Ibara Shiozaki
Shoko Todoroki vs. Hanta Sero
Tenya Iida vs. Mei Hatsume
Eijiro Kirishima vs. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Katsuki Bakugo vs. Ochaco Uraraka
Fumikage Tokoyami vs. Momo Yaoyorozu
With that, they were told to go to their assigned seating area until the stadium was built. Every class went to their balconies except for Mei who went with class A so she could sit next to Izuku. He told her that she could show off her babies all she wanted, but she wasn't allowed to trick Iida. She whined and complained but agreed to Izuku's demands.
With that to Izuku was then called down to the fighting stage. When he made it, he stood across from Shinso. They stood there grinning at each other.
"I have an idea," Izuku told him right after Midnight started the match. When Shinso just raised an eyebrow, Izuku continued, "We haven't check to see if your brainwashing works on me. Let's test it out. You can order me to walk out of bounds if you want." He told Shinso widened his eyes.
"You sure?", he asked with a little worried. Izuku just nodded. "Alright, you are an arrogant prick who I hope to see lose the tournament," Shinso said.
"Really…" Izuku then stiffened and his eyes clouded over.
"Looks like I got you, for the sake of our friendship I will give you some time. Walk to the middle of the arena and then turn around and walk out of bounds." Shinso ordered. Many were wondering what was going on. But Aizawa over the mic told them that they were performing an experiment to see if Shinso's quirk worked on Midoriya because they haven't tried yet. He then informed them of Shinso quirk and how useful it was and that Izuku can normally negate quirks.
During all this explanation. Izuku was struggling in his own head. 'This is bullshit. I am supposed to be immune to all quirks how the hell did this happen.' He kept struggling.
Finally, something clicked, and power rushed through him and negated the quirk's ability that was controlling his mind.
Izuku then roared to the heavens. And flooded the whole stadium. Everyone felt his incredible power. He then looked back at Shinso. Who just smirked at Izuku. Izuku then lifted a hand and called taunted him over. Shinso then rushed him, they started a one-sided fistfight. Shinso tried his best but he couldn't keep up with Izuku and after a couple of solid hits, Shinso dropped defeated.
Izuku was named the winner. He then bent over Shinso and smacked him and a few times to wake him up. They then shook hands and walked out of the arena together.
When they got back to their seats, they watched as Monoma used quirks from his classmates to face off against Mina and taunted her the entire time. She had mobility than him, but he had three different quirks he kept switching between. He eventually knocked her out of bounds.
For the next fight, Izuku thought he would enjoy Kaminari's fight with the vine girl. That is until Kaminari fried his brain and was captured in under 30 seconds. Izuku just sighed at that.
For Shoko vs. Sero, Izuku expected a lot of things, what he didn't expect was Shoko freezing half the stadium. When he saw her face though, he could see it was a mixture of anger and sadness. He then decided right there to do something about the girl that some voice in the back of his mind said was worthy. That made him freeze this voice said the same thing in the locker room and he ignored it. He knew he heard the voice before; it was quieter when he heard it before, but he couldn't place it.
It was at that moment that Mei told him she had to go prepare, she then kissed his cheek quickly and left. Then it hit Izuku, he heard the voice with both Mei and Nejire. For Mei, took a while to hear it. He had to understand what his feelings were before the voice appeared. It started to do the same thing with Nejire after he caught her from falling that day. It was his dragon instincts telling him that those women were worthy of him, and he should pick them as his mates. He then groaned loudly, which caught the attention of everyone in his class sitting in their booth. They all looked at him in confusion. He just waved them off and said he forgot about something. He had no idea what he was going to do about this. He will have to deal with it later and talk to Mei about it. Also, it doesn't matter, Shoko probably doesn't like him and Nejire, well she may not ok with the idea of sharing him. He still needs to talk to Mei before anything remotely can happen.
The next fight was Mei vs Iida, so Izuku sat up in his seat to really watch this one. His girlfriend vs one of his best friends. He decided to cheer neutrally. The match went as he thought it would though. Mei was down there with a microphone she stole and was announcing every baby she used and what it did. While Iida was just trying to have a fair fight. After 5 or so minutes of showing off her babies, Mei just hopped out of bounds. Izuku had to laugh at that. It was just too funny not to.
The next match was Kirishima vs. Tetsutetsu, and he could have put money down on how it was going to go. They beat the shit out of each other until both fell over unconscious.
The next round match was Bakugo vs. Uraraka. Izuku watched the fight in fascination. Bakugo had the obvious advantage of the whole fight, but the respect Uraraka, Izuku had never seen of him before. When she finally dropped from exhaustion Bakugo walked up to he picked him up bridal style and walk off to head to Recovery Girl. Izuku could hear what Bakugo said when he picked her up though. He congratulated her and thanked him for a great fight. Izuku smirked at this, 'Oh Bakugo, what are those budding feelings you have.' Izuku thought.
The last of the round fight caught his attention though. It was Momo vs. Tokoyami, and I looked like Momo got stuck in her head and couldn't focus on creating as well as trying to defend from his endless attacks. He could see with every second her confidence was slowing fading. All until she fell out of the ring in shock and sadness.
Izuku then stood up and told everyone he was heading to his waiting room even though he had 15 minutes to prepare. He gave Mei a quick kiss and told her to watch as he kicked the blonde guy's ass.
Izuku then went looking for Momo, and with his hearing trained for her, he found her 5 minutes later sitting in an empty hallway basically in tears.
"What are the tears for?" Izuku asked when he walked up.
She quickly panicked and tried to wipe her eyes. "It's fine," he said as he sat next to her. "It is ok to feel sadness in defeat. What you can't do is let it consume you whole." He told her.
She just looked at him wondering where this is coming from. "Where this is coming from Izuku, we've barely said more than 5 sentences to each other since move-in day. Why were you helping me here? She asked him to let her annoyance be known.
He just smiled at her, not his creepy smile, no it was his soft smile he saved for those he liked and cared about. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw that smile. "Because I know what it is like to be stuck inside your own head. I how what it feels like to doubt your every move, to overthink everything you do thinking everything you do will end up in failure." He told her with a sad smile now.
"H-how…" she tried to start.
"You know I was quirkless up until a year ago, so you should know the quirkless are not treated the best in today's society." She looked like she was about to interrupt when a look from him stopped her. "You can't try to deny it Momo, I lived through it since I was four until I was seventeen. If you don't have a quirk many will ridicule you, most will ignore you, and some will just pity you but won't help you because they are looking out for themselves. This world is not a nice place, it is our jobs as heroes to make it nicer though."
She just looked at him in awe during this explanation. She could see the sincerity in his face and hear it in his voice. "I originally wanted to be a hero to save people with a smile like All Might, but that eventually changed, I then wanted to be a hero out of spite to show all those people that this late of a bloomer could be a hero. Now I don't know what my motivation is, a mixture of both? I personally don't know. What I do know is that I am never going to give up, no matter what happens. And I know you can't give up either. I may not know your motivations Momo," He then looked her in the eyes and Momo swore her heart skipped a beat. "What I do know is that you are a good person and there need to be more people like you who become heroes. To make it a little nicer out there for those who are struggling." He finished with that soft smile again.
Momo could swear her breath hitched. He had just said what she needed to hear and some. And that was some of the greatest words she had ever heard strung together. She could literally see herself fall for him right there. Before she could say anything though, Izuku was called to the arena.
"Well there's my cue," he said as he stood up. "I know my look like I am the most confident person in the world, but that comes from a place of deep insecurity I never had this confidence a year ago. I built myself up from the bottom to get to where I am. I will tell you right now that it won't be easy, but I can tell you this, it is most definitely worth it." With that said he walked away to head to his match. He was also trying to quiet down the voice that called her worthy as well.
He left Momo there awestruck. He had said the sweetest thing she had ever heard. She felt her heart tighten. 'Oh no I just fell for him, didn't I?' She thought to herself. She then stood up and brushed herself off. 'I am building myself up like him starting now.'
Izuku had just walked out of the tunnel leading to the arena. "HERE HE IS FOLKS, THE BOY, NO MAN I SHOULD SAY, WHOSE BEEN DESTROYING THE COMPETITION! THE ONE AND ONLY DRAGON KING OF UA… IZUKU MIDORIYA!" Present Mic yelled over the mic. When Izuku made it on top of the stage he just sighed at that. Mic was making light of his title and that pissed him off a little bit. Before about 20 feet away was Monona with his smug smile still.
"Are you ready class 1A because I am getting my revenge today," Monona said with the at most certainty.
"Are you sure about that. I am known as Dragon King for a reason, did my lesson from before not sink in yet? Izuku asked. With a smug smile of his own.
Monoma just growled at that and got into a ready stance. Izuku just stood there impassively waiting for Midnight to start the match and analyzing his opponent.
'Ok, he only used 3 quirks against Mina, meaning that must be how many he can hold at a time. So, when I see 3 that means he will be out of tricks. Also, even with all his taunting during his last fight, he rushed it though, meaning he has a time limit I am going to guess around 5 minutes based on how rushed he was,' Izuku analyzed. It was at that moment that Midnight began the match. Monoma then
rushed Izuku metal covering his visible arms and face.
'So, he borrowed metal heads quirk,' was Izuku's thought as he didn't dodge the punch to the face. He then was punched ruthlessly by Monoma who was laughing and talking shit. What Monoma didn't notice though and that others did was Izuku wasn't reacting at all to the hits and wasn't taking damage either.
Izuku then sick of Monoma's constant blabbering of bullshit, caught one of the punches like he was catching air. He then brought up his other hand up as he pulled Monoma forward so his arm would be fully extended, he then put his other hand on the bottom side of Monoma's elbow and lighting quick snapped the elbow with minimal force.
Monoma then screamed out in pain as he tried to pull his arm free. After about ten seconds of his struggling Izuku let go. Monoma stumbled back panting and holding his now broken arm, metal body long forgotten. Izuku then looked at him with glowing green eyes and smirked.
"Sooo, is that it?" Izuku asked him with fake curiosity as he put his hands in his pockets. Monoma just growled at him. And his other hand became a blade and rushed Izuku again screaming as he did. Many were shocked by this action, but what caught them really off guard was that Izuku didn't move in the slightest. The blade aimed for his chest and got a solid cut. Izuku didn't even blink at it. Monoma blinded by pain and rage just kept trying to cut Izuku, repeatedly and failing every time. The only thing he successfully cut to pieces was Izuku's shirt that was hanging on by some threads.
So, Izuku just tore off the rest of his shirt and this had a reaction in the crowd. Every woman in the stadium and all watching over their TVs blushed at his physique. The size of their blushes varied, but all of them did.
Monoma desperately tried one last attempt and rushed forward trying to stab Izuku in the chest. The blade just bounced off, when Monoma paused in shock Izuku struck, and then he grabbed the blade arm and moved behind Monoma in a burst of speed still holding that arm. He then grabbed the already broken one at the wrist and pulled it back as well. He pulled them both until Monoma screamed in pain.
Izuku then planted a foot in Monoma's back and pushed, bringing Monoma to his knees. Izuku kept pulling on the arms though. Monoma just screamed in pain. Suddenly Izuku stopped his pulling and he spoke then loud enough for everyone to hear his voice as he projected it out. "Yield and I will let go, don't and I will dislocate both your shoulders," was Izuku's ultimatum.
After he said the crowd shout for Monoma to give up. This just made him even angrier. "NO! I WILL NOT GIVE UP TO 1A TRASH LIKE YOU!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Izuku just signed. "Don't say I didn't warn you," he said with one swift tug he dislocated both shoulders. With that done he let the boy drop to the ground fully unconscious from the severe pain. Izuku then looked at Midnight who wore a shocked expression. "Call the match he is beaten," Izuku told her. She just nodded dumbly.
"Because Neito Monoma is unable to continue the winner by default is Izuku Midoriya." She announced. At first, the crowd was frozen then one person started clapping, then others joined in, soon the whole stadium clapped and cheered for Izuku who just looked down at his opponent who was just laying there.
"Be this a lesson for you, there is always somebody stronger," Izuku told him as he turned and walked away without another word.
Izuku made it back to his class after getting a new shirt from Recovery Girl, and they all congratulated him. Bakugo even gave him a nod. Izuku returned it as he sat down next to Mei and took her hand in his. Momo who was sitting behind them frowned at this, jealously growing in her gut.
Izuku just looked back at her and smiled, when she saw that smile, she smiled too. Izuku then heard the voice call her worthy again. So, Izuku then turned his attention back to the arena. It was now time for Shoko vs Ibara. The match began and Ibara launched her vine barrage, but it was unable to handle Shoko's ice. So, in the matter of a minute, all Ibara's hair was frozen and she couldn't move it. The match went to Shoko.
Izuku smirked at this development, 'Looks like I have to face her in the semifinals,' he thinks to himself. That is coming to be a fun match. I can finally get her to use her fire. She may hate me right away, but in the future, she will thank me.
With that match done. It was on to the next match. Since Kirishima and Tetsutetsu tied in there match they had a tie-breaking round where they arm-wrestled. Kirishima won so he moved on. So, the next match is Kirishima vs. Iida.
Izuku couldn't wait to see how this one went down. He then looked at Mei and some guilt entered his gut. He was dating her but thinking about other women. He had to talk to her, the sooner than better.
Their match started and it perfectly illustrated an unstoppable force vs. an immovable object. Iida had the speed and mobility advantage, while Kirishima had the defensive and attack power. It was watching a Tank take on a fighter jet. Soon Iida began to slow and Kirishima's hardening began to fail. I was now a stamina battle. After a few more clashes Kirishima got a solid on Iida right in the face and because he was tired, he dropped because of it. Leaving Kirishima the last one standing and being declared the winner.
The next match was Bakugo vs Tokoyami and that was a bad match-up. Because Bakugo's explosions create so much light they weakened Dark Shadow considerably. Making Tokoyami and an easy target for Bakugo to defeat in the end.
They had 10 minutes before the semi-finales so Izuku decided to spend it wandering around. When he had 5 minutes before his name was called, he decided to head toward his entrance to the arena tunnel. But who was waiting there but Shoko's shitty father Endeavor.
"You there I have been meaning to speak with you." Endeavor told him as stepped out into the middle of the hallway with his arms crossed. Izuku just looked at him impassively.
"You have? Man, I should be honored," Izuku responded with a blank tone.
Endeavor's eye twitched at that but didn't respond to the comment. "I want you to marry my daughter." That statement alone froze time for Izuku.
"And why, pray tell do you want me to marry Shoko?" Izuku asked him in pure bewilderment and a little annoyance when what Shoko told him earlier came flooding back.
"You are already on a first-name basis, that's good. The reason is because of your children." Endeavor informed him.
"About the first part, I just call people by the easier to say be it first or last name. And for the second part of your statement what do you mean are children?" Izuku asked but having a slight idea of what he wanted.
"Humph, the name thing doesn't matter. And for your children, don't you see how powerful they would be with your two quirks combined you would have children that could make All Might a small footnote in history, your children would be regarded as the best heroes who would have ever existed." He told Izuku with a slightly manic look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry I am only 18 I haven't even thought that far in the future yet. Also, I don't think Shoko is into me like that." Izuku informed him, trying to act calm but a raging fire was burning in his chest.
"That is no matter, I don't expect you to have children until you are out of UA anyway. And Shoko's feelings are no matter either she will learn to love you, she knows she has to make strong heirs." Endeavor said, thinking he had convinced Izuku. Suddenly a feeling of dread entered his heart as he looked at Izuku.
Izuku's eyes were now glowing and he had a snarl on his face, as he leaked his power out. There was a voice in his head going on repeat telling him to kill Endeavor. He couldn't tell if it was dragon protectiveness or his own and right now, he didn't care. He was just trying to make sure he didn't kill the number two hero right here and now.
"You don't deserve to be a father," Izuku growled at him, and before Endeavor could respond Izuku's power surged knocking Endeavor off his feet. He was flat on his back and couldn't move the pressure was too much. Izuku appeared above him in an instant. Something then entered his power surge; it was killing intent. The killing intent made Endeavor start to sweat and his life flashed before his eyes. "You hurt your family again and I find out about it I will personally tear you, limb from limb. I will bath myself in your blood and laugh as I do. The world will be a better place with you not in it. Remember this Endeavor, Shoko is a person and she can choose what she wants in life. If I find out, you are still trying to control her, I will make sure you won't live to see tomorrow. Goodbye." With that Izuku straightened up and walked away from the shaking prone Endeavor.
After the aura left Endeavor was slowly trying to get back up. The fear he felt was slowly turning to rage. 'That boy thinks he can talk to be that way… The next time I see him,' before he could finish that thought he heard a voice.
"I wouldn't try anything to him Endeavor." Endeavor spun and saw Nezu walking towards him with his paws behind his back.
"What are you talking about ro- Nezu?" he growled to the Dean.
"Well, I just wanted to warn you, that the boy is under UA protection and if I see a hint of you involved in an instant that gets him hurt, I will reveal to the world your dirty laundry." That froze Endeavor.
"What are you talking about? Endeavor asked with a scoff as he tried to hide the worry in this voice.
"It's simple, Shoko revealed her origins to Izuku earlier today and I have a recording of it." Endeavor again froze at these words.
"You wouldn't dare-,"
"Yes, I would. Although, the boy probably won't need my protection at the rate he is growing."
"What do you mean by that?" Endeavor now asked confused.
"Oh, it's nothing, it is just that boy is going to be a King. And when that happens no one on earth would be able to touch him." Nezu informed Endeavor.
"A King?" Endeavor asked completely confused.
"Yes, a King that is something you don't need to know about, now if you excuse me, I have some business to take care off. Goodbye for now Endeavor and remember don't do anything stupid." Nezu said as he turned and left leaving a confused Endeavor behind.
Izuku had just walked on to the stage and stood across from Shoko who just stared back at him with determination in her eyes. Izuku kept trying the voice in his head calling her worthy.
"Alright! Let the first round of the semi-finales BEGIN!" Midnight yelled.
In an instant half, the stage was covered in a huge amount of ice that covered everything and rose to the opening at the top of the stadium. The ice blast seemed stronger than the one she had used on Sero by a long shot.
Shoko looked at Midnight, "Call the match he is beaten," she said coolly.
"Because Izuku Midoriya is unable to continue the win-," Midnight was interrupted by a loud cracking sound. Everyone's attention was on the solid wall of ice now. Then another cracking sound could be heard. That is when everyone the glowing aura in the ice. They saw Izuku's glowing green eyes and then they saw him roar and the ice wall shattered.
He landed on his feet with is shit torn again. He just looked at it in annoyance and cast it off again. Everyone was shocked on how he broke out of that monstrosity of ice without any trouble.
Izuku then met Shoko's eyes and she had a look of annoyance on her face. "You are going to need more than that to put me down," he told her with a smirk on his face.
She just growled and launched another wave of ice towards him. Izuku just waited until it got close and threw a punch, the second his fist hit the ice it shattered to pieces. With a force so strong it sent wind pressure directly at Shoko who had to put up a wall of ice behind her so she wouldn't get blown back. She just looked back at him as he had already put his fist down and was just looking at her impassively.
"You know they say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity right?" He asked her with his smirk still there.
"Are all you going to do talk?!" She yelled at him.
"No, I will also break every attack you throw at me," he responded with a genuine smile on his face.
She then threw another ice all at him. This time Izuku slowly raised his hand with a glowing finger and launched at cero at the ice wall, shattering it immediately.
"You can't win like this and you know it." He told her his voice sincere. "You need to use your fire to even have a snowball's chance in hell to defeat me."
"Did he pay you off, or something, now I am really mad," she growled out as she launched another ice wall that he shattered with another cero.
"Actually, he did try to talk to me before the match," he informed her. That sentence made her stop attacking though.
"What did he want from you?" She asked with genuine interest.
"He ordered me to marry you," Izuku informed her as she gained a shock expression.
"He WHAT?!"
"Yeah, he told me it would be only so for our powerful children."
"What did you say?" she asked with a little fear in her voice.
"I said no, for a multitude of reasons. The first being you were being forced into a loveless marriage. The second is because no one tells me what to do, and third, your dad is a prick." He told her with a voice filled with disgust.
"You told Endeavor off?" She asked him shocked.
"After he told me your purpose was to be a broodmare for strong children, I knocked him on his ass and threatened his life saying if he tried to hurt you or your siblings or tried to control you again and I found out about it he would see the next day, then I just walked away." He explained to her.
Shoko was absolutely shocked at this, her father the number two hero, one of the most respected men in the country was told off by an 18-year-old hero hopeful. It boggled her mind. Not only that but he knocked Endeavor off his feet and threatened his life. It was insane to her.
"Are you INSANE!?" she screamed at him.
"Probably," Izuku said while he shrugged his shoulders. "You know something has been bothering me about your statement from earlier."
"And what would that be?" She asked still trying to wrap her head around her previous statement.
"Well, you called your fire his power. When that is not true at all. That power isn't his, does he control it, no you do. Both the ice and fire are your quirk, not his. By only using half of your abilities you are limiting yourself. Use your full power how you want to and don't let him dictate your life. Be yourself and be the hero you want to be!" Izuku yelled at the end.
'Be a hero I want to be.' Shoko thought to herself and after a few seconds, half of her exploded in fire. She was crying and smiling as he did.
"You are insane," she told him still smiling. Izuku just smiled at her his genuine smile that caught her off guard. Before Izuku could respond though Endeavor roared from the crowd and started monologuing. When he reached the end of the stands a blast of energy was shot next to his head. He recoiled at this and the crowd looked shocked. They all saw where it came from. Izuku was standing there with his finger aimed at Endeavor, his eyes glowing and a snarl on his face.
"One more world out of your mouth and I'll aim for the head." He informed Endeavor with a scowl. Before Endeavor could say anything, Nezu's voice appeared over the loudspeaker.
"Enji, what did we just talk about?" was all that was said. Endeavor just paled slightly and walked off without another word.
With that Izuku turned back to Shoko who now wore another shocked expression. 'He was telling the truth,' was all she could think at that moment.
"Are you ready Shoko come at me with everything now." He told her with a grin.
She just nodded and launched an even bigger ice attack than before. I was huge. Izuku decided to rush in punch this one and when he shattered it, he saw Shoko bring her left hand up covered in heat. 'Well fuck,' was Izuku's thought before the explosion. Many covered their faces destruction of that explosion. When the smoked cleared everyone first saw Shoko still standing a little wobbly, breathing heavily, and with a torn shirt where they could see her black sports bra that seemed to barely contain her chest.
What caught everyone off guard and mostly Shoko was what they saw after the smoke cleared. Izuku didn't get blown back, but there was something different about his appearance it was the burn on his chest. He had finally taken damage. This was because of the explosion while caused by a quirk mas more caused by a sudden change of the air pressure, so he took the damage. This was the first time in a long time that had happened.
He just looked at Shoko and smiled, "Good job you finally damaged me." He said as he appeared in front of her like he had teleported. "Can you continue or are you done?" He asked with some genuine concern in his voice that made her feel all warm inside and she didn't really know why.
She just shook her head and fell into his arms. He just smiled at this and picked her up bridal style. He then looked at Midnight and nodded his head at her raised eyebrow. She announced Izuku the winner and the crowd went crazy. He just carried Shoko off the stage and to the tunnel to take her to Recovery Girl's office. She was half asleep in his arms and just snuggled into him. Shoko just felt safe and warm in his arms. She just wanted to feel closer to him. She then peaked up at him and thanked him, He just smiled at her words and tried to ignore the voice that said worthy.
When he looked up, he saw Endeavor. His eyes narrowed and he growled at him. Endeavor just stood there for second with a look of anger on his face. Then just stepped away. After they had turned the corner Izuku felt a warm hand on his cheek, he looked down and saw Shoko looking at him, with a small smile on her face. She just looked perfect for him right there. He just smiled at her again and continued their trek to Recovery Girl.
And done. Here is the majority of the sports festival. The next chapter will have the finale and a secret meeting or two.
