Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I do not own My Hero Academia. Asa, however is my butt of an OC.
Warnings: Dad Might, Dad Nezu, Dadzawa, Bakugo's mouth, bullying, trauma, exercise (lol jk), a slight time skip, Izuku's mind not working, and blood.
A/N: Holy Pickles, Chapter 10 already?! Woo! When I started this story, I never thought it would get have as much love as it has been. I love it! I love the fact that a lot of my reviews held some very helpful criticisms. Please feel free to point out what I could done better in a helpful constructive way! And if you have been, thank you!
Now to clear up a few things:
First things first, if you have notice a word or two missing: Yeah...I know. My mind tends to work a bit faster than my hands can type/write. Sometimes, I think I have written a word and the sentence will make sense to me. It usually isn't until after I upload the chapter and look it through, that I will see if I am missing a word (the same goes for missing letters). Any misspelled words are either a mistake or intentional (i.e. "hopital" instead of "hospital" in Chapter 5. I actually know kids who mispronounce certain words.)
Secondly, the dream sequence in Chapter 9 is supposed to make it seem like Izuku didn't know he was asleep...until the end of it. I hope that this came across.
Thirdly, there is no set schedule for this story. It will update when I am able to sit down and write. I have a job as a overload aide in two kindergarten classrooms, so usually I come home and I am tired. So I will try to upload when I can.
I will also try not to upload as fast as possible as I have been known to burn out.
Fourthly, You are all the best.

Now to reply to some reviews:
HankFlamion18: Oh, I am so glad. I appreciate the support that you have given this story, along with the constructive criticism you have given as well. I will continue to do my best!
LitchKing: I dunno...Maybe I am secretly a villain?
Darkmagianwyngro: Aww, Izuku needs a hug after all I put him through. Kacchan is actually really hard for me to write right now, so I am glad that you want to beat the ever living snot out of him. I do plan on his attitude towards Izuku change...soon. As for Asa, go right ahead, he deserves it. And the positive possibilities, now that I think about it, he could of been a great hero.
Also angry Dadzawa will be popping up more often, especially in flashbacks.
Maximum Ride12345: I am glad! And it is nice to meet you, Jake. I am glad you like the story as well. Thank you both for the support that you give, and don't worry, 1 o' clock in the morning uploads will not be happening a lot and I will make sure that I won't abuse my health for the sake of posting the story. I can't wait to read you story!
Now onto the story. PLUS ULTRA!
Izuku could not believe what he had heard. Him? Getting All Might's Quirk? He could feel the tears beginning to form in his eyes, but he tried not to cry. Not in front of All Might. He didn't want to seem weak.
"It is alright, Young Midoriya." All Might said with a light chuckle. "There is no judgement. Emotions are what drive us heroes to be our best."
Izuku could feel the tears flow freely. Toshinori waited for the boy to get his tears out.
The poor boy must of went through hell growing up, the hero thought as the boy cried, it hasn't gotten easier for the Quirkless in our society...
Once the tears had stopped, Izuku composed himself.
"I-i don't know what to say, sir." the boy finally said. "Thank you, but.."
Midoriya dreaded to ask, not after he was offered this opportunity. But he had to know.
"Why me?"
Toshinori smiled. He knew the boy would want to know why he was chosen.
"It is because, Young Midoriya," the hero began. "You understand what it is like to be in need of a hero. You have not lost that innocence."
Midoriya thought back to all the times a hero helped him.
"You did not hesitate to save your friend, even though he could of save himself with his own power," All Might coontinued. "You do not see the difference between those with power and those who don't when there is a need for help."
Toshinori knew that others would call that part of the boy's drive reckless, but the hero couldn't bring himself to say that.
"Those are admiral quailities to have." He wound up saying, "Any hero would be proud to call you an ally!"
Izuku beamed. He was not used to getting this type of praise from anyone, aside from his mom and the teachers at UA.
"Th-thank you!" He managed to squeak out.
"But before I give you my Quirk," Toshinori continued. "We must build up your body!"
"Huh?!"
Toshinori chuckled, a few flecks of blood stained his lips. Wiping them away, the man continued.
"If you were to accept my Quirk as you are now, it will rip your body apart." He explained, "we need to build up your muscles. So, we will be training from now until the entrance exam for UA!"
Midoriya couldn't believe what he was hearing: One on one training? With All Might? How often did someone get that offer? Before he could say anything of acceptance, the thought of Mr. Aizawa and his other teachers crossed his mind.
"If you are worried about what you teachers are going to say," All Might continued, "I can speak with them. Your education is still important."
Izuku didn't know what to say. His mind was racing. Toshinori's smile never left his face. He knew that this was a lot for the boy to take in. Checking his phone for the time (there was a missed message from Nezu...what could he want?), he saw that it was just past noon and an idea popped into the hero's mind.
"While you are still processing this, how about I treat you to lunch?" Toshinori offered.
"S-sure!" Izuku replied, excitedly. "J-just let me check in with my mom!"
"Of course." All Might agreed. "A hero should always check in with someone who cares for them."
Izuku pulled out his phone and quickly dialed his home phone.
"Hi, mom. It's me, Izuku."
" Y-yeah, classes went well."
"N-no, he wasn't too angry...yes I did apologize, Mom."
While the boy was on the phone, Toshinori checked his messages. The one from the principle of UA was simple.
It read:
So, did you find a successor yet, Toshinori?
-Nezu
Sent at 11:55
Toshinori sent back a reply with a simple word (Yes), before noticing that Young Midoriya was ending his conversation with his mother.
"I-i love you too, mom. Bye." Izuku hung up, and turned to All Might. "She said that it is okay, as long as I am home right after."
"That is good." Toshinori replied, not wanting to say anything about hearing the boy's conversation with his mother. "Let's be off then."
Katsuki Bakugo was pissed. Even more than usual as he thought over that morning's events. How dare that piece of shit, Deku, try and save him?! Didn't that bastard think of himself first? What would Aunt Inko say if the idiot got himself killed? Why did Izuku always think that he needed saving...?
Letting his Quirk flare up, all Bakugo could think of was how useless he had been. All he did was cause more damage. Or at least that was what one of the heroes had said when he was being checked over. Who was it again? He couldn't remember.
Ignoring the yells from the old hag about not using his Quirk in the house, Katsuki let off smaller explosions before deciding to go for a run.
As he ran, his mind began to wander.
At five years old, Katsuki thought he was the coolest thing ever. He got his quirk (Explosions, cool!), everybody looked up to him (even Deku), and he wasn't scared of anything!
Bakugo could rule his classroom with an iron fist and none of the kids would try and argue with him. He was on top! Nothing could bring him down.
"All right everyone! Before we start our day, I have an announcement to make." The teacher said, clapping her hands. "Little Izuku will not be in the school for a while. His mother let me know that he is in the hospital."
"The Hopital? Why?" Katsuki piped up, his interest piqued.
"W-well, there was an accident and..."
"Hey, let's play Tag!" Katsuki interrupted the teacher's explanation as he quickly lost his interest. So what if Useless wasn't here.
A few days later, Izuku came back to school.
"Hey look, it's Deku!" One of the students call out.
Katsuki looked and sure enough there was Deku, walking up to the building.
"Hey, Deku! Where were you?" He called out. "Teacher said you had to stay in the hopital."
Izuku's reply was a weak "Yeah".
"So, why are you back?" Bakugo sneered, allowing his Quirk to pop to life. "Your mommy get tire of you, Deku?"
"N-no, Kacchan. Momma said that I was all better and it was alright for me to go back to school, especially when Mr. Eraserhead walks with me." The green haired boy explained, trying to hold in tears.
Bakugo was furious now. How dare Deku lie like that? He was probably doing it for attention.
"Eraserhead, as in the hero Eraserhead?" The blonde boy sneered.
"Y-yes..." Deku whimpered.
"Why would a hero do that for you, Deku? You are nothing but a waste of time!" Katsuki growled.
It was then he relized something. His Quirk didn't work. Did he lose it?
"Midoriya, let's take you home." A voice said.
Bakugo looked up and saw that Eraserhead, with his eyes glowing red, had walked up behind Deku. Katsuki couldn't believe that Deku was telling the truth. But why? Why would a hero care about worthless Deku?!
As the blonde was running, he couldn't feel his anger going away. He was still angry at Deku...and himself. Shaking his head, Bakugo swore that he would focus on getting ready for the UA entrance exam. He would become the no.1 hero. He would be the greatest! And anyone who would dare argue with him, would die!
After lunch, All Might made sure that Izuku got home safely.
"I will send you a message when to meet tomorrow." The skeletal man said.
Midoriya nodded.
"Thank you, All Might," the boy said with a bow. "I won't let you down."
The hero chuckled and ruffled the boy's fluffy hair.
"Just try your best, Young Midoriya." All Might replied. "And remember to get some rest. Training begins tomorrow!"
"Right!" Izuku agreed. For the first time in a long time, he felt like nothing could bring him down!
That night...
"Are you sure this is needs to be done tonight, Mr. Kurogiri?"
"Yes, Master gave explicit instructions for this job to be done as quickly as possible."
"Why not send Shigaraki to do it?"
"Tomura Shigaraki is too impulsive and does not posess the type of finesse that you have when working."
"Ah, Mr. Kurogiri, you are making me blush! You sure know how to woo a guy."
"..."
"So the usual for if I get this job done quickly?"
"Of course, Chinmoku. And the Master also wants me to let you know that he will also reveal his location to you."
"Tell the Master...Consider it done."
End of Chapter 10
A/N (P.S. Edition): Ah, ze plot. See 'ow it moves.
But in all seriousness, the ball that is the plot is in motion. I made some decisions that I am somewhat proud of. And a few I have yet to see if I am. Hopefully I will be.
Hopefully.
Anyways, I cannot reveal much about Chinmoku, not even the meaning of the name yet. But you all might know who he is. I...haven't been too subtle about certain things. But I try.
One minor thing I forgot to mention in my opening note: I do know there is a difference between blond and blonde. The former is masculine and the latter is feminine (Thank you 1 semester of French in college). I use the feminine because that is how I have always known blonde to be spelt. I don't mean anything by it.
Also, Nezu knows that Izuku is All Might's successor before anyone else. Dad Nezu knows everything!
And should I keep it as U.A. or UA?
...Ahem. I hope you all stay tuned for the next update. But until then...
Plus Ultra!
