It was sure turning into an interesting turnout this year. There was a girl with a creation Quirk and another with dual Quirks in the recommendation exam. That wasn't even counting the wide variety of other girls who would take part in this exam.
Nedzu was brimming with joy as he looked over the many people who had registered for the hero entrance exam for UA.
Now if only he could get a chance to snag one of those in the recently renamed The Guild.
Izuku was honestly quite shocked. Somehow the media had listened to their rename request. The message prepared by the combined efforts of him and Tokoyami had been somewhat ludicrous, not much more than petty demands really. Yet the news (and the HPSC by extension) somehow went along with it.
Of course that was besides the point. At least half The Guild was busy searching for news on the League of Villains. Tokoyami was scouring the Underworld's Web. Kai was performing his usual duty as a doctor for the Underworld while Hitoshi was shadowing him.
But Izuku.
He just got a strange request.
Normally he would prioritize the Guild over his occupation, but this was not a normal case. The user said they had a random mutation in their Quirk which resulted in their Quirk gaining strengthened attributes. This was the first time he had received a request of this nature, how could he have resisted?
He found himself near a familiar beach, one he hadn't been at for almost a year. He couldn't resist coming in person, rejection be damned. The request itself had come due to his neutral stance on Quirks and his success rate. So he hoped that she wouldn't just laugh in his face when he revealed himself to be the Analyst.
Then she arrived; "I'm sorry I'm late." she called. Izuku turned to see an girl with brown hair and rosy pink cheeks. The moment she saw him she gained a look of surprise, and Izuku readied himself for the mocking.
"You're the Analyst? That's so cool, I've never met a guy before."
Izuku breathed calmly, she was one of the rational ones. "Yes, I'm the Analyst. I do hope that there is no hostility." he spoke. "Hostility. Oh, don't worry. I'm not one of those people. It's just amazing that you're the first guy I've ever met." Izuku nodded at this. "I mean, the amount of guys I've met can be counted on both hands so I'm not surprised." he explained.
The girl just chuckled. "Well, nice to meet you I'm Ochako Uraraka." she held out her hand. Izuku extended his own hand; "Izuku Midoriya.".
"Alright, now let's get down to business." Izuku started. Ochako nodded.
The next few hours were spent with Izuku checking every change she had been experiencing. Her original Quirk was known as Zero G and it allowed her to nullify the gravity of any item she touched with all five of her finger pads. Now her Quirk allowed her to seemingly Float through the air and increase the gravity of any object. The change was absolutely amazing and Izuku was somewhat perplexed in how her Quirk could have mutated in such a way.
So, he used Afo to just see her Quirk; and he was greated by something amazing. Her own Quirk factor was being integrated and strengthened by some massive energy from another Quirk. There was no way this was truly natural as any attempt at mixing Quirks outside of something like Infusion had always ended in disaster for him. Yet this girl had some strange Quirk fused to her own which was making it exponentially stronger.
Then he felt a kick back.
The strange Quirk which had taken to the girl seemed to recognize Afo.
And if reacted as though it was a cornered animal, baring its teeth and snarling.
The reaction just made him more interesting, he had to know more. Of course there is the fact that this was their only booked session.
So he had to swallow that greed and accept what he could collect from their session.
"Well Uraraka, it was quite nice and your Quirk was without a doubt the most interesting one I've even come across." he said. "Yeah, it's been really nice learning so much about my Quirk with you. If I have anymore developments I'll call you." she practically threw him bait with this. "Ok. I'll see you sometime later then." he left with that.
Ochako just watched as the boy, Izuku Midoriya, walked away. He was very polite and specific with her Quirk and made a detailed page for her to work with. It had a wide variety of tests that she herself hadn't thought of, and even ones that she had been doing to a lesser extent.
"Young Uraraka, where have you been?" she heard she heard All Might, Miss Toshiniri Yagi, running up to her. "I heard that your Quirk had changed and I came as soon as I could." she explained through heavy breath. "Did you already use it all up?" Ochako asked. Toshiniri just nodded in response.
"Well, I managed to get someone who could help me." she said while holding up the paper given to her. Toshiniri just looked at it before turning to her. "You didn't tell anyone about One for All did you?" she asked. "Don't worry, I just said it was a powerful mutation of my original Quirk.".
Toshiniri just nodded; "Good, so you made sure the specialist did her job?". "His job." Ochako corrected her sensei as she spit blood in shock. "His?" Toshi inquired. "Yeah, he was a very nice boy who worked with Quirks" she explained as her sensei seemed to be growing worried.
"What did he look like?" she asked. Ochako just looked at her confused before answering. "He had a bush of green hair and a decent amount of baby fat, and also these adorable freckles." she clamped her mouth shut after that.
She didn't just call him adorable did she?
The worry on her sensei's face seemed to turn into an unreadable blank.
"Young Ochako, I want you to heed caution in the presence of males who see Quirks as their careers" she said cryptically. Ochako started to glare at her sensei. "So you don't like guys." she almost snarled.
"No, miss Uraraka. I am just giving you a warning. But I may as well just tell you why I'm asking you to be cautious."
The rest of the night was spent quietly as Uraraka was forced to consider the story she was just told.
Denki and Sero were currently in a music store. They had time off work and decided to indulge in a small guilty pleasure of Denki's
Pre-Quirk music.
Most post-Quirk music had just grown bland and soulless.
But Pre-Quirk music just had this spirit that couldn't be explained. Some kind of drive and meaning built deep within it that few could truly understand.
Or in Denki's case, it just sounds better.
Sero was assisting him as they had already followed his own guilty pleasure of Pre-Quirk films that the duo were going to watch tonight. He was just watching, ignoring the odd glare he received from some random girls he had never met, as Denki strode through the isles. The owner of the shop had gotten to know the duo for months so she had no issue with someone who liked their hobby.
Though Sero could just sigh as he watched Denki interact with the owners daughter.
"What do you mean you've never heard of Weird Al, your mother owns his place." there he was once again. "I've never heard of him because I prefer rock over parody." he heard the daughter's rebuttal. "Come on Jirou, just listen to one song and you'll love it, he's great." Denki reasoned.
Sero just sighed again as Jirou's mother walked up next to him.
Katsuki was busy wrecking his way through the gym that was set up at home. Hitoshi was nearby with his school work and a timer in his hand. "Just calm down, you'll get to beat them down when we find them." Hitoshi advised his adoptive brother. "I know that you damn Zombie. I'm just jittery about the break, we've never had a break before." Katsuki shot back.
"Fine, so do you want eye shadow or eyeliner for you disguise?" he asked. Katsuki just turned to him; "Are you fucking deaf, eye shadow of course." Hitoshi just nodded while taking down notes.
Nedzu was laughing as he got off the phone with All Might. She thought she was giving him a possible lead to All for One, when she might be giving him a lead to something else.
He had noticed a mysterious Analyst was making waves online. They had one of the lowest rates of public meetings, only one that is known (or two now if his theory was correct). Yet this Analyst had practically set their own trap with a simple visit to All Might's chosen successor.
He will find this Analyst. Before some sexist girl decides to gut him or the HPSC decides to get rid of him.
He will need to move especially fast before Toshiniri does something stupid.
It was a bit awkward for Kirishima returning home. His mom and his mother were both growing more and more concerned about his nightly outings. He didn't want to hurt them by telling them that he was a vigilante, but he also doesn't want to impede the rest of the Guild if he gets punished.
It just broke his heart as he had to choose between being honest to his family or disappointing his friends.
Of course his salvation came in a different form.
"He was studying with me. We've both been struggling with math lately so Kiri's been coming over to my place to get better." Mina explained. He was so thankful for her, but also worried for her.
She had noticed the changes in his behavior and would put him under as much scrutiny as his parents, if not more.
He swallowed his heart as he led her to his room.
"So Kiri, want to explain to me something. Or do you like the name Fortress more?" she opened with.
Yeah, he's definitely in trouble.
Ochako was incredibly confused. All for One, a Quirk by the same name, male Quirk users, and a rivalry lasting nearly two centuries had all been explained to her by All Might.
Now she doubted that Midoriya had any connection to this All for One (the fact that All Might herself had crushed the man's skull was a definite point to that). She was still cautious; the way One for All had felt during the examination.The almost animalistic way it seemed to react to the boy around the mid point of their session just made it stranger.
She had never felt the Quirk react in such a way; not even when she had first activated it and broke her arms.
So she did the one thing she could do in her small apartment.
She trained her Quirk with the instructions given by Midoriya.
Evil or not his advice was solid.
She just struggled as she made the object float while also constantly shifting its place by either increasing or decreasing its personal gravity.
It was strainuous and headache inducing but also useful.
And she'll need all she can get if this All for One is not as dead as her sensei thinks.
Izuku was going through several files with Tokoyami about their current findings. All signs pointing to a most disturbing plan.
They were recruiting onmass with low level villains and common criminals. There was a string of disappearances related to girls with powerful Quirks. Worst of all was the signs just where they would strike.
UA itself.
Now, they could send a warning to UA, but would they believe them? Would the pinnacle school for future heroics believe that some unknown group of villains could infiltrate one of their facilities?
Would they even take the warning seriously?
So they prepared their notes.
Then Izuku got a call. It was Kirishima.
Clicking the call button and putting it to his ear he heard Kirishima talk. "Midobro, we've got a problem. You need to get to this park now" he said before hanging up. Izuku just looked at the screen to see a text with the park's location on it.
"Kirishima needs me, I'll be off Tokoyami." he said before grabbing his stuff and heading for the door. "Want me to call he others?" Tokoyamis asked. "No, we're still off the grid right now." Izuku answered. Tokoyami nodded as Izuku left the house.
It took him less than an hour to reach to park where he found Kirishima and a familiar pink colored girl.
"I knew it, you got involved with them Kiri." she said while shaking her head. "Involved with who?" Izuku quipped. "Sorry Midobro, she knows." Kirishima said while lowering his head dejectedly.
Izuku just shook his head at this. "So, do you want to join us or do you just want answers?" he asked. Kirishima looked shocked Izuku's statement; "Bro, why?". "Simple Kirishima, if she wanted to turn us in she would have already done so." Izuku answered.
"And what makes you so sure that I wouldn't?" the girl asked. "Because you like him to much." Izuku shot back. Both sputtered at his blunt statement while Izuku got closer to her.
"So, what's your name?" he asked. "Mina, Mina Ashido." the girl introduced herself. "Alright Mina, I just want to warn you that you've found out something that has put the lives of numerous people in danger" he said. "WHAT!!??" Mina shouted. "Well yeah, you basically put both your own family and Kirishima's family at risk by learning this information as well as the lives of everyone in the Guild and their families" Izuku stated.
Mina seemed to pale at this. "Oh don't worry, most of us don't have a lot of family to begin with but I thought it best to inform you of the risk" Izuku said. "Midobro, you can't just drop a bomb like that on her." Kirishima interjected. Izuku turned to him; "I'm just saying that there's always a danger so the less people that know the better".
"So, what are you going to do to me?" Mina asked, somewhat scared for her life. "Oh, I'm not going to do anything to you. You are going to swear secrecy or face the consequences." he explained. He then looked to Kirishima; "I'm not going to do anything bad, I just can't let this kind of information get out. We've been lucky so far because most of us don't have the kind of family that would learn this, but you do Kirishima. So when the time comes you are going to have to make up your mind and make the right decision, got it?" he said.
Kirishima just nodded while Mina looked to her friend. "So, is all this handled?" Izuku asked. The two just nodded. Izuku nodded back before walking back to Tokoyami's house for the night.
Kirishima just watched as Midobro walked away. He had never been so blunt before, nor as specific. He was reminded of why everyone else in the Guild had a small amount of fear for their leader, not that he would know.
Mina then turned to him; "Why did he offer me a chance to join?" she asked.
He wasn't even sure why, so he shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe he thought it would be rude to not offer a spot, we've got some pretty sweet stuff." he said before realizing that he was telling Mina more information.
"Its alright, I won't report you guys, but Kiri, please don't do something like that again." she said. Kirishima was confused at first before realization hit him; "What, the Muscular fight?". Mina just nodded.
"I knew it was you the moment you said 'I am a hero'." she explained. Kirishima just rubbed the back of his neck apologetically. "So Mr. Hero, want to excort your Maiden back home?" she asked flirtatiously. Kirihsima almost laughed as he took Mina's hand and walked home with her.
So yeah, more stuff happening. Interesting question; Do you think Bakugo ever used make up in cannon? Like, not even in the sense of everyday, just that one day he was like "Let's see if I can get some war paint." and he ends up spending several hours with his mom going over proper techniques and tools for make up.
Also I managed to create the designs for each of their suits (mostly due to a request from a viewer who wished to create fanart for the Guild. You guys should check out the stuff Geod Pony draws, it's pretty good). So here's the design for each suit.
