Chapter 4.5
Sorry, the chapter was too long so I decided to cut it in two but this chapter stays too long. It was difficult to write it, a moment I think that but it's not right but it's a good idea but this... Really difficult ( and I am not surprised it make any sense). Thank for everyone who read my fanfic, follow it and put in their favourite. It makes me so happy!
Anyways I have a question for you. Our Izumi is a girl and at first, I thought to make the future class A genderbend but for my love for some ship and your I didn't. But I also want to follow the original story but I love SHINSOU and dislike Mineta, really. Who doesn't?
So here my question: Should I put Shinsou in class A or Mineta? Or would you prefer that I put both and expel or kill the grapes?
That's all, thank for reading again! (And yes I intend to eliminate the grape in one way or another.)
"Come again?" Answered Izumi like she heard the most stupid thing ever said. But before the mouse, P.L cut him.
"Nezu, you can't be serious, aren't you? She is ten, a little ten years old girl who has all the eyes on her, has a healing quirk and a deadly one and intelligence which can compete with your and moreover like you said she might have a background or connections. They can be villains or criminals! No offence."
Izumi shrugged when L.P apologies about her connections, in some way he was not wrong.
"I know but like I said I want her in U.A and I take into account her age so I propose this. To be P.L, Recovery Girl and my student for the next three years and at her fifteen to take the hero course like all child of her age do."
Protests and contestation filled the room with Izumi's greater annoyance. She prefers to talk in peace with and not in the hubbub. She clapped her hands gaining the attention of the heroes and a fine small smile appeared on her face.
"Let's talk like civilized people do you want? Why not do twenty questions? It's a win-win for all of us, so who is on it?"
Rapidly one by one they gave their consent, interested and intrigued.
"Why not? It seems fun!"
"Nezu...*sigh* bet it, I'm in."
"To talk with a cute little girl? Of course, I'm in!"
"Midnight and Nezu are right! It will be fun to talk with the fluffy girl!"
Eraser rolled his eyes at his fellow heroes like they forgot they have laser sights on them and machines guns ready to shot them anytime. But aside from that, he was curious to know a little more about the life of the mysterious being in front of him. With what she said, life did not give her a gift, especially when the world government and other people try somehow to capture her for their greed and desires. He grunted as an answer.
"I hope you choose wisely your question." Commented Izume with a smile. "I propose the game you can start first."
"YEAH! Fluffy girl, what is your name? We can't call you fluffy girl or little miss every time you see?" Asked Present Mic comically posing.
"I have many names, which one you want?"
Before Mic answered Nezu cut him, he doesn't want to use the nineteen questions left for trivial questions, she warned them to choose wisely their questions after all.
"We want your real name and the other name or title you have."
"All right, my real name is Izumi Midoriya, you all know me as Vigilantes with the name of 'Little Angel' but I am also know as Spring the hacker and Maâtis the creator of 'RevelationWorld'."
Izumi had a hard time not to laugh at their reaction, seeing Mic and Midnight gaping like a fish or seeing Nezu's smile with a strange mix crack and hyper-happy smile. It was too hilarious that she had tears in her eyes
"Wow," was the only answer she heard for a moment. (She dropped the bomb and some people can't digest it lololol.)
Nezu trembled and glittered with excitation like a Christmas tree, it was almost cute for Izumi, almost, until he asked the next question.
"Where are your parents?"
"Somewhere... I don't care where they live like they don't care where I am or simply if I am alive. I have enough scars and burns to make a veteran jealous, I bet they think I'm dead when they abandoned me almost five years ago." She said bitterly with an ironic face. Midnight was angry same with Mic and P.L, Eraserhead growled swearing under his capture weapon and Nezu was impassive but he was not smiling. Abuse a five-year-old kid is unacceptable, how could her parents have done this.
"You said you want me to be a hero Nezu-san but why? I'm against the fact to be in the hand of the government, being a hero would like a chain or a collar around my neck. It would be an opportunity for them to control me, though I can blackmailed them and make them shut whenever I want how much greedy and corrupted they are but it won't last forever. So why I should be a hero?"
"You are already famous as 'Little Angel' and have quite popularity and fans around the country. I know you have a forum entirely dedicated to you and the members are willing to help you whenever you want, it's for this reason you can walk in the street with ease without to be worried to kidnap, don't you? You are in the spotlight in the media, videos, everywhere so if you disappear suddenly a horde of people will know it immediately and will go in rampage."
"Ah... I understand what are you getting at. If I become a hero and with my past and achievement, as vigilantes, it would be more difficult to capture or to confine me. I will rise rapidly in the top hero and my popularity and notoriety will explode, it would tie the government hands in their actions to take me away. It's a good solution but that not prevent me from being in the hands of the government, moreover, you did not say all the reasons why you want me to be a hero. Please complete your answer Nezu-san."
"Ma~ sorry to not answered completely, there many to say like your a well-manner kid Izumi-san with the charisma of a true hero. The fact you have more then two billion people in the world who read your blog and a huge fan club in Japan prove you have more potential of any children of your age or even hero if we ignore the fact you use your quirk illegally. Plus you are a genius we can find every 100 years and a hacker who can support the heroes with your ingenious inventions and your quirk's analysis and finally to be the first fighter nurse hero from history. You are a rough diamond or emerald with many talents, it would be really a waste for us to not have you on our side. You have more potential of the students of my school and many heroes having who can't use their quirks and their brains correctly."
Present Mic and Midnight sweat drop at the bluntness of the animal hero. "O-oy, it's really fine to say this like that?" Asked Mic with an uneasy face.
"Yeah I think Izumi-chan didn't appreciate the way you say it, it was kinda... rude." Add Midnight eyeing carefully Izumi which, strangely was not affected by it. On the contrary, she was observing P.L with scrutinizing eyes as he looked at the gauntlets in his hands.
"You seem in trouble P.L-san, it's something wrong with the gauntlet? You can express yourself, I don't bite." Eraser wanted to contradict her by saying she could kill all of us with a gest of her hand but restrained himself. He doesn't want to be shoot or something else.
"You are from the Midoriya, so you are linked with the BlackFire Defense company, no? I see one of their last product created by Hisashi Midoriya and it has the same design and mechanism of your gauntlet, it seems you that you take inspiration from him."
Izumi sneered and snorted in pure degust and indignation like she hears the most absurd thing that could get out of someone's mouth. "The day he will inspire me it would be the day I would abuse and abandon my child and steal other people for my own ambition." She growled.
Her statement seemed to surprise them, Hisashi Midoriya in the public eyes was a short and charming guy with black hair and some freckles on his face giving him the look of a kid or a funny inventor joking with everyone. Appreciate by the public and his coworkers, he has a good image and many think he will be the next president of the company because of all his hard work and his inventions through he is the cadet. But they didn't expect a violent man who can beat his own daughter and be a greedy ambitious man. They know his quirk, Firebreath, it permits him to breathe fire at a high temperature which can reach 1000 ° C which can melt metal and with what she said early to more cuts and burns than a veteran pro-hero can have.
They say you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, they were right. There are plenty of people like that in the world, it did not surprise Eraser too much, same with Nezu. He had seen the true nature of humans when he was experienced.
"And your mother, didn't she stand for you?" Asked Midnight, Izumi shocked her head after a moment of hesitation. "The first days she tried but rapidly she stopped and joined my sperm genitor giving cut me here and here. At first, it was to preserve her image, as an abomination like me shouldn't be born and that should know its place. Then like my sperm donor was always in business trips or was always bitting or burned me, she started to be jealous as I take away the attention of her husband. At this time I resembled more to a thin mummy than a healthy child how they wanted to get rid of the hindrance and pest."
"But why they did this to you?! You're a sweet girl, intelligent and with a superb quirk. They should have been in heaven to have a daughter like you!" Shouted Mic outraged, on another hand, Nezu was thinking.
"Izumi-san you were in school, " It was not a question but a fact "so you should have an educational staff in your school who did something, don't you? But as Yamada-san had said, your parents should have no reasons to hate you but more the contrary, so why did they treat you like this? If it's really hard to say it, you're not forced to explain or anything else.
Izumi looked at the mammals with raising a brow to a millimetre higher compared to the other one when he says the last sentence. Trying to make her safe was not his objective, he wanted to confirm something. "He didn't treat me as an abusive and defenceless child but like he had an interview with a partner from the start, so why saying this right now? It's like I am not the only one to notice it, the underground is suspicious as well. It seems to depend on my answer, honeywords won't change my mind Nezu-san."
"I'm the one who has proposed the game and I will not back down on what I said. Past it's the past, you can't change it. Besides my motto is 'don't forget the past but don't let it impede you for the present and the future you want to built'. So for your questions, I will answer to the last, it will permit you to see how I was treated like shit by my parents. I was a late bloomer or more precisely a child with an extra joint in her pinky toe, labelled as a quirkless child by the society. I do not need to draw a picture to show how quirkless people are treated by society and the government."
They inhale a breath of cold air and shiver like the temperature in the room have dropped drastically. They know very well how society and the government treat quirkless people in the last decades. 35% of persons committed suicide in the country are quirkless, they couldn't endure the pressure of bullying, mockery and inequality that the society imposes to them. Quirkless people don't live longer than 25 years and if she, the founder and creator of 'RevelationWorld' didn't reveal the huge gap between quirkless people and others people in the world and especially in Japan and America, today there would not a real start of change for the right for quirkless people as human. And they express right when they say the right for quirkless people, slavery was abolished six century ago but when everybody in the world has read her article and see the videos they didn't think that humans have felled so low. Serf is the right word to describe this situation but it's only disguised slavery, she had written an entire book on quirkless conditions, a best-seller that tabloids and news had picked for the juicy and spicy subject and created riots around the world and that all by when she was eight.
Each article she had written, each word were to criticize the whole international government, the voices who were silence have rise and stomp for their rights. Again today it's the actuality, demonstrations were more common and new laws and legislations popped right and left.
(I will spare the whole situation about the quirkless treatment in another chapter along with the other topics...)
"Anyways Nezu-san you asked if the educational staff did something, they did, watching, watching me be bullied by my peers and older children or even participated verbally at it. They preconised flashy quirks by bombing their ego and turned blind at their actions like bullied or even attempt to kill someone, they never stopped the kids to bully the ones who have less flashy quirks or so-called villainous quirks. You know I received my quirk when I was six while saving the only friend who was a cat, it had pumped so much I couldn't stand without taking the support of the poor tree that I had killed by taken all its life energy. My quirk can heal but can kill with a simple touch, I named it Life&Death. And I know, I didn't answer completely because I start to lash out the educational system created by the government since the creation of the quirks regulation. Well, when I get my quirk I didn't say to anyone, to my teachers, my classmates or my parents. If I had said them I get a quirk especially a healing one, my parents would be so content that they would stop the abuse and treating me like before the doctor says I was quirkless like they didn't abuse me. I refused to accept it to be in denial and to pretend nothing happen. There was no love, I was a tool to my parents in particularly Hisashi to satisfy their ambition and goals. Plus it would permit the government to capture me more easily and maybe I would not be in front you talking about my life."
It had to make Aizawa angry, no, more than angry, he knows the bullying, he was also a victim until he enters U.A because of his no-existant quirk. But it was always verbally and not physical (he ignored that words can hurt more than punches), he didn't think it had worsened during the last decades. Midnight was always teased of her non-fighting quirk even in U.A, it has always perturbed her.
"As a teacher, I am ashamed of my colleagues for the rough treatment they gave you and their inaction." Bowed Nezu in apologizing followed by P.L and the other heroes.
"You all don't need to apologize for them, they know what they did was bad but didn't stop it. Besides, I have my revenge on them, they can't educate anymore."
"Mmmh... it's really light as punishment, I thought you will expose them to the whole country and make them lamentable and shameful." Hummed the principal a little sceptic.
"I have exposed them but as an example and fact in one of my article, these circumstances happen in many schools. 'Harassment and discrimination of the youngest age, the need to review priorities in education.' it was the name of my article. These persons will get a job with difficulty after that. The society will keep an eye on them for a long time, they will be bullying and labelled 'villain' by their entourage. Consequences, they may be on the street, unemployed and will be depressed. Sweet and slow torture, nothing better to take revenge." She explained calmly while a smirk forms on her face.
The heroes shivered at the sight of the cold smirk, god the kid is a sadist. They take note to never be on her bad side, never.
"Mmmh... I understand. You are this type of people." Comment the principal with a big smile. Izumi huffed or chuckled, it differs from the point of view of each one.
"Then it's my turn to ask. Nezu-san you talked about me being the student of P.L, Recovery girl and you before I enter the Hero course. Can you explain briefly and with details the plan? I have four years to wait to be a hero at least, but I sure the government will find me before this time lapse. So please I want to hear what are you planning for my scholarship."
The other heroes as well were interested in the plan created by the animal hero, they know they were off-topics like they watch a tennis match between the girl and the animal. They know personally how the animal is when he is interested in someone, he won't let the kid alone, for sure. He had said he will take her as his student, only two people have received his teaching in the country and it's the first time he takes someone at this to young age. He had seen her talents and powers and they have an idea if she becomes a villain she will completely destroy anyone obstructs her.
"As I say early I want you to come at U.A to be under the tutelage of us; Recovery Girl, P.L and me. The plan is simple for three years you will put in P.L class to gain a Support license. Under the law, you have broken more than seven laws about creating, using or even sell your inventions. With the license show and put them on the market, with your genius mind it will be easy. In the same time, you will be assisting Recovery Girl in her work as a nurse, at the same time you can learn medicine and surgery." Began Nezu to explain, Izumi raised her hand to stop him.
"I have already learned medicine and surgery, I have some people who tutored me in the past few years. In the Coliseum, there are many people with many professions so to have a doctor and surgeon to tutor me was not complicated. Like for a lawyer, I know I broke than five laws, I didn't sell a single one of my creation. Plus like we talk about law, I bet Jiji's trial was amusing."
Eraser growled pinching his nose. "Of all the people here, you are the best to know it. The trial was a joke." Izumi chuckled.
"We were prepared for your visit any time and it's not my fault that the inspectors and policemen didn't check if the place was legal. Ma~, a self-defence club to learn to defend yourself against any quirks. Everything was legal, only the fact it was in the underground."
Mic laughed at the face the annoying face of Eraser, even Nezu couldn't contain his chuckles.
"Then you might obtain a medical licence if you pass the tests with the hero license or even provisional hero license but I think practice and observation under Recovery Girl, would be the right choice." Commented Nezu clapping its hands, it started to love the child in front of him. She was not lazy, she was curious as hell. Using everything in her hands to cumulate experiences, knowledge and more powers. How could he let a talented child running away!
"I understand, be the youngest doctor and surgeon in the world and to be able to observe me and earn trust between us. Simple and efficient."
Nezu nodded. "More eyes on you and less chance to be kidnapped. An opportunity to not miss!"
"You didn't talk why I should be your student, I can understand for P.L and Recovery Girl but you, I'm sure I will get practically nothing on being your student. You will target by the government even though you are the Principal of U.A." Mentioned Izumi with a fine smile, she can read people but Nezu is more difficult. She began to think he came here for his entertainment, really.
"You seem to know law regulation, medicine and can do many things. I will give you a boost, sharped your talents and open to many doors. You will meet people I trust who in the future can be your allies. And for that U.A will adopt you." His reply shocked the other heroes, he wants to adopt her, him, the sadist animal-principal.
"Plus I don't mind to be targeted, it's more exciting like that. I am a bit too old now, I have nothing to risk contrary to them. I don't like the government, for a while it was corrupted. Now, it exists to control the mind of the mass, changing laws, tendencies, to be the society we know today. And the ones who pay for this are the children, especially your generation, born after the period of Quirk marriage. They are easy to manipulate and brainwash, they learn from the adults who are already brainwashing. We need to change that and it's to us, teachers to start with revolution. You wish to change this society, this world, you have the power but not the opportunities to do it. I willing to give those opportunities, I will say again my proposition, come to U.A to be a hero!"
Izumi stared at Nezu as she will eat him, he is willing to give her an assurance, to be the enemy of the government declaring openly he didn't like it. Willing to give a better future for the children as a teacher. It's everything she wanted but there a problem, if she remembers Nezu...
"I see... but there a problem. Nezu-san, U.A might can adopt me but you have not the possibility to adopt. You may gain the trust of the humankind in the past with your intelligence and by being the principal of U.A for more than twenty years and vice-versa (for some people) but with the statue of the first animal-hero equal you have not obtained the right to adopt or fostered anyone. I understand why you have brought Present Mic now."
Nezu brightened up, understand the meaning between the line. She made her choice, she accepts. But she has a point, he was maybe recognized by the world as a hero after countless torture and experiments but create a family even adopted was impossible. It was one of his regrets. For that, he brought a secret weapon. He looked at Present Mic confused with a big smile, Mic tensed seeing the smile of the bear-mouse-dog, this smile augurs nothing good, he knows it.
"As you say I can't adopt but not my comrades present here with us. Like our Present Mic here he is in age to have a kid."
"WHAAAAT!" Shouted Present Mic getting up abruptly. Izumi was glad to have deactivated the Gatlin guns or they will all be killed, plus they (might) not notice there any red spots on them. His shout has smothered the others screams especially the one from Eraser who was now behind them gripping at the sofa, bloodshed eyes gaping at the mammal.
"Oh my~~ you want Yamada-san and Aizawa-san to foster me without asking them their consent? It's a little bold." She commented amusedly while Midnight or Nezumi-san protest why she can't adopt her. Nezu ignored them and continued.
"You are aware they are married? I'm not even surprised you know it, though it was kept in secret for diver reasons. But let's return to your adoption, Yamada and Aizawa will teach next year in U.A. For all teachers and their family, they have the choice to live to a complex in U.A or to remain in their house for security measures. But there are three months left before the next year, you can live here until the first day of school or start to live in the complex in U.A. The choice is our."
"Wait!" Cut Aizawa, "We didn't agree with this!"
"He's right! I may say I want a family early but I didn't mean now! Shota does not agree and being parents even adoptive is a huge responsibility. You can't choose in our place! Besides Izumi may not want it."
"I didn't mean to live with her or something like that, just to pose as foster parents after the update of her file as an abandoned child. No more no less. Plus Izumi-san doesn't see a problem to be adopted."
They all looked at her to listen to her answer, she raised a brow seeing no problem at it.
"It just a piece of paper. I don't see the problem, I not expect to be loved in return. If you let me do my things it does pose no problem to me."
Yamada and Nemuri (Midnight) gaped at her answer, L.P sighed and Aizawa rubbed his eyes annoyed to her simple response like it was common. She does not expect to be loved, a kid should want love, kisses and hugs not to live in solitude. They didn't anticipate this, Aizawa thought it was not logical to think like that but he was not surprised she doesn't trust adults or anyone after the world is against her.
"See? She sees no problems to be adopted, case closed. Now let's talk about what to do for the next weeks, want you?"
The little girl and the mammal continued to discuss the regulation, her security and many things leaving four pro-heroes on the sideline.
