Summary:
Izuku goes to have another little chat with All For One and his work studies begin.

Chapter Text
Nedzu stared down his current chess opponent. "Izuku are you sure you wish to see the man again? You mentioned how it was dangerous for you to do so last time."
"I did Nedzu but I won't be taking any quirks, just talking to the man, it should be safe and I'm not taking All Might this time. No offense to the man I love him but I don't trust him to keep his calm nor do I expect to get any useful information from All For One if he's there." Izuku explained as he moved a rook up.
"Well I can get it set up pretty quickly, though I do wonder what your plan is regarding the man. I doubt he's going to say anything helpful Izuku." Nedzu countered by checking the boy's king.
Izuku just tcched before continuing. "I doubt it either but there are some things I need to ask him regardless as to whether or not he'll actually say anything. Speaking on the topic of the league how's the bloodwork going on Kurogiri, do we know whose corpse he is?" Izuku did the only thing he could and offered up a rook as a trade for a pawn, which while definitely a losing strategy he couldn't see any other way out of the predicament.
"It's still being processed at the moment." The rat's eyes gleamed for a second as he took his opponent's rook. "Do you have a strategy to make him talk?"
"Not really but I figure he's got to be at least bored enough to chat with me. Like he's been on total lockdown with nobody to talk to for weeks and from what little time I spent with the man he does enjoy monologuing. The silence is probably driving him crazy. Check." Izuku said as he moved his bishop into position.
"Hmm curious, not a terrible theory Izuku. You did say the man seemed somewhat fond of you during your stay with the league of villains." Nedzu was forced to back off for the time being and moved a pawn in front of the bishops range, blocking it for the time being.
"I highly doubt that anymore, he said he hated me more than All Might during the fight at Jakku. Though I can probably use that against him, I doubt the man is used to people taunting him. He probably kills the people who are dumb enough to enrage him." Izuku shrugged before pulling bishop back.
Nedzu having anticipated that move basically vibrated with glee before announcing his victory. "Checkmate my ward. Though you are improving greatly, so don't be discouraged use this failure to learn and move on. Know there is always something more you can ascribe to being." Nedzu took a sip of his tea before continuing. "I suppose I can set up the meeting right now if you wish, you can just warp back to Tartarus, no?"
"I feel like that shouldn't be the first option but it'll save time and I'll bribe the warden with a free teleport or something. I'm sure the man will take that offer in a second." Izuku shrugged picking up the pieces while Nedzu was already calling the prison.
After Nedzu hung up he just chuckled. "The man said the Bahamas are beautiful this time of the year, also your good for the meeting. It'll be in an hour."
"I guess I better suit up then." Izuku said as he stood up. "You need a portal anywhere Nedzu? I've gotten it to about 3-4 portals before any serious backlash kicks in, though for some reason the nosebleeds stopped getting better and I honestly don't know why."
"That is indeed curious Izuku, we should have Recovery Girl examine you and the quirk at a later date to make sure the quirk isn't permanently damaging your body. The last thing we need is for you to break yourself over an admittedly useful quirk." Nedzu had moved back to his desk and was reviewing the papers of his newest student.
Speaking of said newest student. "Mister Nedzu, I just finished up another page. Do I get another treat?" The girls eyes sparkled as she said that.
Nedzu just chuckled lightly. "Of course my dear." Nedzu pulled out an apple before handing it to Eri. "You're so smart my dear, your picking up on arithmetic so quickly." Nedzu had genuinely been impressed by the girl's pace, it'd been clear that wherever she'd been before didn't teach her anything but now she was quickly catching up to the level she should be at.
Eri grabbed the thing from the rodents hand before retreating to her small desk in the corner of the room like a gremlin, Izuku found the sight adorable. "Careful not to eat too many of those Eri." Izuku chided her.
"I won't mister Izu." The girl slightly pouted at being told she couldn't have as many apples as she wanted, granny smith were her favourite by the way.
"Whelp I'm heading out I'll get dressed and come back after grabbing a light meal." Izuku opened a portal before stepping into his room and seeing his girlfriend rummaging through his closet. "Uhhhhhh?"
Said girl turned bright red at being caught red handed. "It's not what it looks like Izu."
"Ahuh, anyway I'll just pretend I didn't see anything, I'm just grabbing my costume and heading out." Izuku could tease the girl about trying to steal his clothes but he could do that at any point, right now he was more busy.
"And where are you going?" The Ninth quickly switched from embarrassment to what sounded like a warning tone.
"I'm visiting All For One, by myself. And no I'm not taking any quirks so don't worry. I'm just talking to him so you don't need to worry about me being in any danger." Izuku explained as he grabbed his case and started walking to the bathroom only to be stopped by the girl.
"Izu I don't like it." The girl sounded genuinely worried, which Izuku was thankful for.
"I know but I need to talk to him and All Might would just rile him up and he'll probably just focus on annoying you if you come. I promise it's not for no reason, if you want you can come with but I'm going into the room alone Mo." Izuku understood why she was worried but still it's going to be fine.
"I'll do that then." Momo asserted. "Wait here for me to get my costume I'll be right back."
"Ugh... fine, I swear you're just like my mom. I can handle myself you know." Izuku whined.
"You get into trouble at like every turn dear, we both know you need someone to keep you on your toes." Momo cheerfully informed her boyfriend but her tone did not match the smile on her face. Momo swore her boyfriend had some kind of bad luck quirk or something because of how often things went wrong when he was there.
"Your not wrong." Izuku sighed before walking into his room and changing. "I'll see you in like ten minutes." He added before closing the door.
Izuku and Momo reconvened in his room before walking to Nedzu's office, they didn't want to stress the warp quirk anymore than he already was when it was acting up. Izuku knocked before entering the room, Momo went over and picked up Eri who was still working at her little desk. Izuku almost forgot that it was Momo who made the desk and the tiny thing was adorable. "We're back and ready to go Nedzu ... What's the warden's name by the way?"
"Haru Yokibe, although I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think he's even coming to meet you, though he did make me give him your number. So be expecting a call or text from him." Nedzu chuckled while Izuku just deadpanned, how lazy was this guy.
Izuku held up his hand before opening a portal to the location they left from last time, a few seconds later a masked guard walked through. "All For None, Deva. Right this way please." The man gestured for them to walk into the portal.
Both took it in stride before walking into the familiar grey damp cement walls of Tartarus, Izuku had been here too many times to count at this point. He stood before the door before the guard began briefing him on the rules of the visit, they'd forcibly drag him out like last time if he violated even one of them. No quirks, no talking about current affairs, no smuggling of communication devices, basically he couldn't do anything that might let All For One escape.
Momo held onto his hand for the briefest of moments before begrudgingly releasing him. "Please be careful Izu."
Izuku nodded before walking into the room, deciding to try his hand at being polie. "Hello Sensei."
A dark and eerie voice drilled it's way into Izuku's skull. "Ah the prodigal son returns, come to rob more from my dying husk?" All For One drawled. "And what no All Might and no disciple of One For All. Were they too cowardly to come visit? I wouldn't be surprised, I was this close to killing All Might."
"Oh nothing of the sort, I just figured you could use someone to chat with. It must be absolutely stifling down here." Izuku corrected the man hoping that some level cordiality would appease his anger and maybe let Izuku ask the questions he wanted too.
"And you managed to convince that buffoon to let this meeting happen? Seems like the man has gone senile." The contempt dripped from All For One, clear he had only distaste for the person in question. "So what do I owe the pleasure of getting one of my largest failures coming to visit me." The displeasure was evident in the man's voice.
"I actually didn't even tell him, instead I side stepped him using Nedzu, having your own police contacts is a pretty useful thing to have. Though you would know about that wouldn't you? I couldn't imagine you not having moles everywhere inside the force." Izuku paused briefly before continuing. "You know what you did might've been for selfish reasons but honestly without you society probably wouldn't have stabilized nearly as quickly as it did."
"Pray tell what did I do that's worthy of your praise boy." All For One sneered.
"You might have taken over only to satisfy your own goals but by doing so you ended a lot of the bloodshed early. No one can deny you were one of the biggest deterrents of crime by unifying everyone under one banner during the age of quirk awakenings. So like I said that was at least worthy of praise."
All For One just scoffed. "Yet here I am, bound and wrapped up like some kind of mummy. Your attempts to win me over will not succeed, so drop the pretense and just get to the point. Though I do get to chuckle at how bad of a mentor All Might is to you that you need sidestep him in order contact me. Didn't trust him being in the same room as me did you?" The vitriol was clear in his voice.
"I suppose that's part of it, you know the first thing he told Momo was to use 100% of One For All. I had to be the one to instruct her on how to use it, so you may be right about him being a terrible teacher." Izuku chuckled.
That had not been the response All For One had been expecting. "I still do not understand why you concern yourself with the woes of the sheep, you could've been the next me, you could've had everything you ever wanted but instead you've relegated yourself to ... this. A dog of the state, I do not frankly understand why you let yourself be used by them."
All For One sounded more exasperated than angry, like Izuku was a puzzle he couldn't solve. "I suppose you can't help but want the things you want. I'm sure you understand that sentiment Sensei."
The boy using that title angered him for some reason and the other party definitely noticed it. "I am NOT your sensei."
"Then what should I call you? All For One?" Izuku jokingly asked.
Regaining his composure. "Call me whatever boy."
"I'll stick to Sensei then, I know you probably don't believe me but like I said I do hold you with a level of respect. You've earned that much at least, even if that respect is out of how terrifying you can be." Izuku pulled out one of his notebooks and wrote something down. "Now while I'm sure you'd have All Might seething by now I don't know you enough for those taunts to bother m-
"Then maybe I should make it personal Izuku Midoriya, I researched you heavily after all. Want to talk about your suicidal tendencies? Or maybe the way you just let people walk over you? Or how about the fact by existing you endanger everyone around you." All For One was seething in rage and Izuku could feel it.
"Now now All For One your just deflecting and the question that leaves me asking is why? I haven't even asked any of my questions yet, so what are you trying to hide?" Izuku tilted his head at the man trying to enrage him further but he wasn't expecting the response he got, unadulterated pure laughter.
"If you can see through that then maybe I need to use a different tactic. I suppose my boredom is being slightly alleviated if nothing else." All For One thought out loud. "Well ask your questions."
"I suppose my first one is Hagakure, what's her real name, what'd you do to her?" Izuku held up his notebook knowing he would not get his answers.
Deflecting All For One responded."Do they haunt you too? Now I don't particularly believe in the occult but every once in awhile I have the strangest dreams where the people whose quirks I've stolen come back and scream at me for what I did to them. They literally hurl their abuses at me, can you imagine that? Me of all people having regrets over what I've done, it should be impossible but what's even stranger that as soon as I get rid of that quirk the dreams never return. Now THAT is horrifying, I can't wait to hear how they plague your sleep ALL FOR NONE."
"Didn't I just say that deflecting wouldn't work All For One?" Izuku just tilted his head at the man.
All For One let out a bored sigh. "I suppose not, maybe you'd like to hear how I tortured the girl, how I maimed her. Has she shown you the scars? I'd bet not after what we did to her, trust me my pupil will get his hands on her and her death won't be painless." The man paused his seething rant before continuing. "As for Toga Himiko whom I'm sure you were going to ask about next, you can thank yourself for what happened to her. The poor little girl just wanted to be loved by her darling, you practically threw her into my hands. All I needed to do was prod a bit with the good doctors help, now she's broken beyond repair, does it hurt? Knowing what you did to betray that thing. You cast her away just like the world you despise so much did, how does it feel to know you failed."
"And now were talking in circles, how about I speculate out loud for a bit. Even you must find rehashing the same supposed 'weak' points of mine boring." Izuku responded derelict of any emotion and a hint of boredom.
All For One just laughed, his taunts clearly failing. "You're truly unflappable aren't you Izuku Midoriya? Fine then speculate away."
"I suppose I can start with Hagakure, and Nomu quirks. For some reason her quirk factor rips if I try to take it on top of this her quirk shows signs of being Nomu like. This makes me surmise that she's been given some kind of copied quirk like the Nomu's have been. This combined with the fact that both you and the doctor have lived far past a normal human lifespan makes it evident that you have some way of copying quirks, how though is another question. You tampered with her quirk in the same way you fused quirks to create Kurogiri, this is made more clear by the fact that Hagakure has both an emitter and a mutation type quirk, the question is what did you combine to create them. Not only this Toga can turn invisible now, so this means the doctor forced the duplicated quirk of Hagakure into her. On top of all that for some reason Kurogiri's quirk COULD be stolen. This leaves me with a few options, but since Kurogiri's didn't rip that likely means the combination of quirks used to make that one were all the originals. On top of this I wasn't sure at first but I don't see Ragdoll's quirk inside you, meaning the doctor or a Nomu have it at the moment." Izuku reasoned out loud.
All For One would've been clapping if not for the restraints keeping him stuck to his chair. "I see my quirk wasn't wasted on a talentless nobody Izuku Midoriya, it makes it even more of a shame that you refuse to join me. If I'd found you instead of Tomura, I shudder at the possibilities that would be available to myself. Trust me when I say I do not compliment people often. On top of that it seems that we have a shared hobby in quirk speculation, maybe you won't be such a boring conversation partner after all. I also notice that you lied to me about your quirks true functions, a smart precaution indeed. You can see the quirks I currently hold even now yes? What a truly fascinating mutation of my quirk, I would've found that ability invaluable no doubt."
It sounded like All For One was genuinely praising Izuku and that worried him. "Not sure if being praised by a serial killer is a good thing or not." Izuku responded dryly.
"Earning my praise is rare, you wound me." All For One responded sarcastically. "I'll be honest I was only playing along at first because I found it amusing but now you have genuinely piqued my curiosity. As a reward I'll give you a hint."
"A hint?" Izuku was curious that the man would even do such a thing.
"It's not like it'll change anything for you to know. Tell me don't you wonder why I never took Kurogiri's quirk for myself?" All For One just started laughing.
Izuku froze at that, was something going to happen to him if he kept the quirk? It could be a bluff to make him get rid of it. "I'll admit I am curious, but you did keep that grey ooze warping quirk so it didn't really bother me that much."
"Oh let's just say you're going to have quite the interesting 'experience'." The man's cackling carried out throughout the vacant room and more importantly reverberated in his mind. Izuku had not felt pressure or fear like this in awhile.
As if the people observing this realized the same feeling he was having the intercom blared to life. "All For None, time's up."
"What a shame, same time next week Izuku Midoriya, or do you prefer All For None, or maybe Grandson?" All For One supplied in his usual dry terse tone.
"Whatever you prefer Sensei." Izuku bit back before departing the room, however howling laughter followed him out.
Momo who'd been watching from the one way mirror looked at Izuku with a worried face. "Izu I don't think you should keep the quirk, he's right it might be killing you."
"Honestly Momo I got basically nothing from him the entire time I was in there. He's probably bluffing and trying to make me dump the quirk but to make you feel better Recovery girl is going to check me out eventually." Izuku sighed he'd gained nothing but sarcasm and annoyance from the man. "I'm ready to go to sleep, we've got an apparently important class tomorrow and I'd rather be fully rested."
Momo looked like she wanted to argue with that but relented. "I agree we should at least get a good night's sleep."
"Thanks that'll make this portal all the easier, I'm exhausted." Izuku opened a portal to his room before relishing in the fact that the day was over, but they had an equally stressful day the next.
Izuku awoke in his dreamscape fully expecting Kuroe or even One For All, what he had not been expecting was some woman with auburn hair and brown eyes to be staring at him. Said woman scoffed when she looked at Izuku. "You must think your so much better than me huh?"
Izuku being as confused as was. "I beg your pardon?"
Seeing the confusion on her captor's face, she grew visibly angry. "You don't even remember me? Was I such a little peg on your journey to greatness that I'm not even worth remembering, figures, fucking heroes."
Izuku wasn't sure what this dream was anymore, he'd thought it was another All For One or One For All dream but it was quickly becoming not that.
"Do you even regret it? Regret what you did to me? It's because of you that I died after all. I got to rot away in prison while the next All Might himself got to run around free with my quirk. If I weren't laughing I'd be crying. Hell you probably don't even remember my name, why would you." The woman chidingly raked into Izuku but as soon as she said quirk he got it. Seeing the light bulbs go off the woman started talking again. "Ah there it is you filthy fucking hero, you took everything from me, or maybe I should say villain because that's what you really are and we both know it."
"I-I don-"
"Silence, I'm NOT done speaking. You know it's funny, you did this to all of your friends as well, well maybe not all of them but I've been watching from in here for awhile now. It doesn't seem like every quirk carries the past will of a user and I was so confused until I heard what All For One said today. That's when I had a revelation, I can torment you, I can make every dream from here out a living fucking nightmare for you. Just wait till it starts happening to your little hero buddies you fucking freak, that's the justice of us, the dead. They're going to beg you to take away the quirks you stole, they'll probably even come to hate you, who knows they may even tell you to kill yourself like the waste of space you are." The woman's voice dripped with venom.
Izuku was internally panicking, it wasn't just All For One and One For All that carried a piece of the soul of the previous user, it was every quirk or maybe most quirks or some. What had he done, he really was a freak wasn't he. He had inadvertently cursed his classmates and friends with ghosts. He was about to draw in on himself and try to will the panic away but the woman continued. "My names Ryuto, not that you care. Want to hear a story about the ex villain now quirkless dead woman? And it's all thanks to you!" She sounded cheery almost but Izuku could easily tell it was fake.

Izuku had curled into a ball on the floor wishing the woman away with every part of his being thankfully she was silenced when Kuroe came in and literally tore the apparition apart. Breathe Izuku, in out, in out, in out, in out. The quirk had started nuzzling him softly and it took everything in Izuku to just gently pet the cooing thing. "G-good boy K-kuroe."
It took awhile of laying there but Izuku finally recovered himself, now that the dead woman wasn't screaming at him he could finally sit down and think. Ryuto was a name he needed to look up when he woke, though he already knew in his mind who it was, he'd just come into contact with the original user of Jetstream now Galeforce. How many of his other quirks were going to haunt him in a similar manner, could Kuroe silence them all? Would that even matter, stealing a quirk was the same as damning a person to this black void, a fate probably worse than hell. Izuku was literally cursing his victims to walk this mindscape for eternity by stealing their quirk. Could he do that to people? Izuku wasn't a cruel person by nature, even he had his limits and that seemed like a punishment few deserved. As he sat and pondered the morality of his actions Kuroe was still nudging him, asking for more pats no doubt, which the boy obliged. "Kuroe did you get rid of her for good? How did she even get in here, do the previous users have to die first? So many questions, great his quirk let him create ghosts, fucking wonderful." This shitshow was no doubt going to remaining on his mind for the foreseeable future and they're going to be told about the hero internships tomorrow and probably already head over to Nighteye's agency to visit the man. At the very least if his quirk can dispel them maybe he can permanently send them to the afterlife since it doesn't seem like the woman is coming back, that was at least some solace. Time to wake up.
Izuku did his best to not wake with a start, and quietly reached for his phone doing his best to avoid disturbing Momo, Eri had stayed with Aizawa that night so no ex unicorn for them to deal with, speaking of, the horn was aching, badly. The quirk stealer and now apparently ghost creator, Izuku wondered how many people All For One had cursed during his career. Shaking the idle thoughts from how strange his quirk was Izuku opened his phone and typed in the name Ryuto as well as Jetstream quirk and murder spree. It didn't even surprise him when the woman's body had been found in her cell a few weeks prior, now that was fucking haunting.
Awoken by her others stirring. "Izu what are you doing up?"
Izuku didn't think he should tell anyone about this recent development, they were already worried about him, this would make them think he's gone insane. "Nothing I just had a weird dream, and wanted to check something. I'm going back to bed you should too, and sorry for waking you." Izuku apologized weakly before turning the device off and returning to the pillow.
"Hngh okay Izu." The girl lightly grumbled before doing the same.
The next day Izuku sat in the classroom writing notes into his quirk notebook but notably coding his newest entries, he couldn't possibly let people know he could damn the souls of his victims for all entirety after all.
As Izuku scribbled away most dismissed the action but Bakugo had a keener eye than the rest, mostly due to growing up with the nerd. "Oi Deku, the fuck's wrong with you. You've been acting weird as shit lately."
Being forcibly dragged from his frantic mumbling panicked Izuku. "I was just thinking about some new ideas Bakugo, why what's up?"
"And what's with you fucking using my real name instead of that dumb fucking nickname you always used to use." Bakugo grumbled further.
"I stopped using it like 5 years ago, now I just use it when I'm trying to fuck with you. What did you like the nickname?" Izuku tilted his head at Bakugo who in turn muttered something incomprehensible and turned away, now how could Izuku refuse this gift. He put his head forward and whispered. "Do you like the nickname Kacchan?"
"FUCK OFF NERD!" Bakugo used one of his arms to shove Izuku's head back, that's what he got for being worried about the fucking idiot.
Izuku just chuckled lightly before the door opened revealing Eraserhead. "Five and a half seconds, constant improvement is a good thing. Anyway today we'll be talking about something important but I'm not the best when it comes to explanations so these three are going to do it for me."
Aizawa gestured to the door which revealed a person Izuku recognized and two he didn't. "Now let's formally talk about the Hero Internships, here are some student's with firsthand experience on them so you better listen well. These are the top three students at U.A. better known as the big three." Said three stroud into the room proudly, especially Mirio however Izuku did not know the other two. "Amajiki why don't you introduce yourself first."
Said person just suddenly glared at the class with the intensity of a thousand suns which unnerved nearly everyone. "... It's no use, even if I think about them as potatoes I'm still scared. The words ... the words just won't come out..."
The bubbly? blue haired girl next to who Izuku assumed was Amajki jumped in. "Hey hey this guys Amajiki and he's got a really strong quirk but he just can't do social stuff, isn't that weird?" The girls bright face suddenly jumped halfway across the room. "Hey I'm Nejire Hadou, can you tell me about your quirk please please?" She was nodding her head vigorously in front of Izuku, who just stared in disbelief.
Sero was the first to respond. "Are these really U.A.'s top three? One seems like an airhead and the other seems completely social inept."
"Hey I heard that! And my names Nejire Hadou, hmph." The girl had already lept across the room again. "You you, why are you wearing a mask? Did you catch a cold?"
Shouji was about to answer but the girl had already moved onto her next what would Izuku would assume at this point victim. "Oh and you're Todoroki right? How'd you get the burn mark? It's so cool!"
"Well that's per-" Todoroki was cut off as the girl once again bounded across the room.
Bakugo just laughed. "She's like a fucking five year old, hell she's worse than Deku."
A pout visibly formed on her face. "I just like knowing stuff, speaking of why does your quirk smell like sugar? And how much sweat do you need to make explosions? That's super gross!"
Half the class started laughing as the new girl started insulting Bakugo in front of them. "Are you trying to start shit, cause I'm not afraid to throw down with a senpai, hell that'll make it even better when I win." Bakugo's brow was furrowed and his anger was visible.
"I see every single one of you lacks any rational bone in your body." Aizawa cut in.
"Now now let's all calm down, and don't you worry Eraserhead I'm the star of the show today." Mirio tried to assuage the man.
"Right..." Aizawa just grabbed a juice pack and started drinking.
Satou whispered over to Koda. "These guys are kinda weird."
"Well I can see from all your faces that you have no idea what's going on. The explanation of these strange internships has been left to three third year students who just appeared, I get it but it's simple. Fight me!" Mirio exclaimed confidently.
Sero just chuckled from the back. "Didn't you learn your lesson from Midoriya last time? I heard it wasn't even close."
Mirio just chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. "You're not wrong and I'd love a rematch with my kohai at some point but as for the rest of you, come and get it. I'll show you just how strong your Senpai is and just what these internships will do for you. Well Eraser?"
"I'm not against it, just don't break them too badly. Also Midoriya, you're not participating." Aizawa lazily explained as he finished his juice pouch.
"Fair enough, portal to gym gamma?" Izuku asked.
"Portal to gym gamma." Aizawa confirmed.
Izuku just opened the object in question and stepped through before taking a seat on the sidelines, he didn't like how he was treated as different than everyone else but he had to be realistic, he was. All For One is just not an ordinary quirk, it elevates a person to that kind of status. Plus his teacher was probably just being 'rational' again, no need to rewatch a fight that already happened. "You got this Mo, kick his ass!" Izuku shouted from his seated position.
The rest of 1-A all visibly tensed as they got ready for a fight, Izuku on the other hand just sat back casually and waited. Eraserhead, Amajiki, and Nejire were all next to him. "So what's the story I gotta know, you already fought Mirio? AND YOU WON? That's so crazy, please tell me about your quirk!" The girl was up in Izuku's face and it was slightly annoying/unwanted.
Izuku just reached his hand out and tapped the girl on the exposed part of her leg. "Bam you have no quirk now, that's how it works." Izuku then tapped her again. "Bam you have a quirk again."
"OHMIGOSH that's so amazing! Is it permanent? Can you give other people quirks? Is there a limit? How many do you have? When did you discover your quirk?"
Izuku just ignored the girl trying to watch the fight but the pout on her face made him relent. "Yes, yes, yes, 14 technically, and at the age of ten."
"When you say technically do you meannnnnnnn?" Nejire continued her rapid fire assault, she loved dissecting quirks and she rarely got to see one as amazing as this.
Aizawa thankfully cut in forcing Nejire to back off, which Izuku gave a thumbs up to eraserhead for.
The fight meanwhile had already started and was in full swing, Mirio had already taken out half of the backline only having lost his clothes in the process, Izuku hadn't known it at the time but his hero costume phases with him but regular clothes do not. Izuku had been admittedly curious about that, the gym was quickly filling with Ice and explosions as the blonde boy dodged around, a vicious right hook sent Jirou sprawling out on the floor which caused Izuku to wince. Bakugo and Todoroki had actually been working together to create as much fire as they could and keep it going to prevent Mirio from attacking them due to the sporadic nature of his attacks.
"Hey Hey, did you know Mirio once beat a kid so badly did'ja know he gave up on being a hero course student. I'm hoping your class is made of tougher stuff or he's going to discourage them." Nejire cut in.
"I'm just hoping Mirio knows to hold back a little." Amajiki said from his spot where he stood facing the wall, it looked like he was blair witching and it scared Izuku. Why were the top three so weird?
"BLINDING EYEBALL CRUSHING TOUCH!" Mirio shouted as he blinded the student who could control flames before violently gut punching him, as his newest victim slumped to the floor he no longer needed to worry about the ongoing flames and switched to his newest target. The ice and fire boy who'd been making it increasingly difficult to jet around as he liked to do, he'd already finished off the air cannon girl and the running flying guy. Honestly Mirio was having a much rougher time of this then he expected but as his fist phased through an ice barrier and struck true he realized he didn't have many targets left to go. Now all that remained was the hardening jumping guy, the flaming tape guy, and the black lightning girl, who hadn't stopped tossing those weird black tendrils at him. Just as he started to phase back into existence a beep went off and the next second he was blinded, Mirio instinctively jumped back into the floor in order to recover his bearings only for the same thing to occur. Confused Mirio decided it best to hide in the floor for a bit.
Meanwhile Momo had finally figured out how their opponent's quirk work. "Everyone, his quirk makes everything, EVERYTHING pass through him, this thermal stun grenades only detect him as soon as he makes a part of himself visible. I can delay him but I have no idea how to actually stop him."
Sero was just glad he'd been spared the fate of the rest of his class, his fire resistance basically let him set himself on fire and use that as a shield, meanwhile Kirishima had been blessing the fact his body was basically as hard as steel. "What's the plan Yaomomo?"
"He has to become tangible to attack, but the inverse is true if he can't become tangible he can't attack. We need to abuse that in order to defeat him, either force a stalemate where neither side can continue fighting or manage to land a decisive blow while he's vulnerable but seeing as how he can just phase out at any moment I doubt we're going to get a chance for that so the prior is better." Momo said that hopefully loud enough for her opponent to hear before readying a hidden weapon behind her, she needed to fight tricky to beat her current opponent.
Mirio just smiled, that's how everyone tried to fight him, that's why he trained so much to fight it. Mirio didn't feel like burning his hands on the guy who literally set himself on fire and the hardening guy could probably take a punch, so he settled on the black lightning girl, Yaoyorozu Momo if he remembered correctly. Either way he readied to pop himself out of the floor only for those black tendrils to come surging at him, her quirk was so weird Mirio thought before going for his finishing move Phantom Menace, by using the nearby ice to speed himself up.
Momo watched her target suddenly speed up far beyond what he'd demonstrated before as he was certainly coming for her, she prepared for the moment he reached her. One strike would determine the fight, as her opponent started to poke his hand towards and probably through her eye, based on what she'd seen he couldn't unphase inside of somebody so it had to be a bluff and she willed herself to keep her eyes open. As his other fist started to swing towards Momo knew she was correct, as soon as the fist got close to her body she opened a syringe on her body effectively stabbing his hand, the boy pulled his hand back in pain before stumbling backwards. "W-what'd you d-do?" The boy fell over and hit the floor soon after, Momo walked over and poked the unconscious boy making sure he was down for the count. Using herself as a human tranquilizer felt weird but it just further proved just how versatile she was.
"YAOMOMO THAT WAS MANLY AS SHIT!" Kirishima exclaimed from behind them before picking up the girl and tossing her into the air with Sero.
Izuku meanwhile examined the ruins that were gym gamma, ice was scattered about, multiple parts of the floor was singed and everything looked like it was destroyed or rubble. "Wow they did a number on the gym, I hope Cementoss won't be too angry."
"Don't worry Midoriya, he gets paid well." Aizawa joked.
"Wow you all are a rambunctious bunch huh? I didn't see Mirio losing at all, hey hey how does her quirk work?" Nejire's bubbly self had reasserted itself and was pushing into Izuku again.
"Honestly couldn't tell you, she has the world's single most confusing quirk." Izuku replied truthfully but the actual truth of the statement was lost on the girl in front of him.
"That's such a lame answer." Nejire pouted. "How long is Mirio gonna be out? Is he gonna be okay?"
Why was this girl so energetic, Izuku whined internally. "Knowing Mo, he'll probably be up in like ten minutes. A tad groggy at first but otherwise okay."
"Mo? Mo? Are the rumors true are you two dating?" Nejire did the Tsuyu head tilt thing and it was adorable combined with this girl's mentality that kind of reminded Izuku of Eri.
"Like I said at the HSPC interview, no comment. The last thing we need is for her to get harassed because I'm here." Izuku explained cooly.
"Oh yeah everyone thinks ur kinda evil, weird huh? I don't get it at all. You remind me of broccoli more than anything."
Aizawa actually chuckled at that which was a rare thing. "Maybe your not the problem child but the broccoli child."
Izuku blushed as his two elders teased him. "It's just my hair okay?"
The majority of the class started waking up, including Mirio. "Woah that feels weird, my bodies so loopy." Mirio said as he stumbled over.
"First time?" Mina sarcastically asked.
"I would hope so, most people don't get tranquilized on a daily basis." Mirio smiled at them.
The majority of the class turned and looked at Momo. "Then you haven't been around her long enough."
"Everyone!" Momo pouted.
"It's okay Yaomomo we still love you, even if your quirk is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen." Hagakure lamented.
"Couldn't she theoretically make a nuke?" Shinsou asked out loud which made a group of the class nod in confirmation.
"Guy's I'm not making a weapon of mass destruction." Momo pouted further.
"Their just kidding, we know you'd never do anything like that." The hardening Shunpo user reassured her.
"Anyway while my point may have gotten lost since I was taken out but I did defeat the majority of you." That statement made Bakugo grumble. "Anyway do you all know why I had you do this?"
"No, you just punched us in the gut before dropping back into the floor." Jirou said as she held her still wounded stomach.
"EXPERIENCE! My quirk is strong, I can't deny that but why is it strong? I either use my warp quirk to phase or my phase quirk to warp. The truth ... is it's the second! I use my phasing quirk to warp. When I fall into the floor or any object, I'm shot out of the nearest surface an incredibly fast speeds, that is my 'warping."
"It's like a video game bug." Mina complained which caused Mirio to sputter.
"Exactly, you get it, tell me have you heard of a skill floor? My quirk is incredibly hard to use, even moving through a single wall causes me to need use my quirk five separate times as I put each limb through. A skill floor is basically the point at which you have enough skill to effectively use something, my quirk is exactly like that. Without the appropriate skill my quirk is basically useless, that's why I was always behind the rest of my peers until I finally hit that floor and became strong. That's what the internships did for me, they made me strong. Who knows you all may have aspects of your quirk that you need to unlock." Mirio bowed before finishing his speech.
"So what you're saying is you kicked the crap out of us in order to prove a point?" Kaminari asked in slight disbelief.
"Exactly, it doesn't matter if you have a powerful quirk if you don't have the skill to back it up, even the energetic one over there has the same problem. Think about it, when he had no other quirks he was basically quirkless, he had to take them and make them his own. You could say it's one of the hardest quirks to master ever, does that make it weak? Absolutely not, it just takes time to become skilled with it." Mirio laughed mirthfully.
Izuku was surprised that his senpai got it, but maybe they were both similar they had incredibly powerful quirks that required their everything to master. Although Momo too had the same issue, the class dispersed as Mirio and Aizawa dismissed them all. Mirio on the other hand basically pulled Momo over to him. "Sir wants to see both of you again now that you have your provisional licenses. I trust that won't be an issue."
Izuku had been preparing for this moment, he had them all memorized at this point. The eight precepts, Kai Chisaki, Izuku knew each of their abilities to the best of his knowledge and finally they were going to confront them.
... If only the school knew about the dangers lurking in the halls of U.A.
