And we back. First let me appease some of your worries by saying that no, Midoriya will not be teaching his classmates haki of any sort so don't worry about that. I too am one of those people who dislike when someone has a special ability then begins to teach everyone how to do it. With that out of the way I also have quite a bit written out of the next chapter of 'Naruto of the dead' and 'Path of a hero' so those are coming. I'm also glad a good hand full of you guys caught the fact that he's wearing jordan 1s lol. Anyways with that let's get onto the chapter.
The next day
The second day of school so far hadn't been as exciting as the first. So far it had consisted of doing regular school work. English classes, history, literature, and math and whatnot. While it wasn't the most fun at least it wasn't difficult. He'd always been a studious kid and was now thankful for it as he didn't have to pay much attention to understand what was going on during the lesson.
Izuku ended up blocking out the current teachers voice as he went over what some author meant in one of his lines in the book. His thoughts were elsewhere. After their quirk apprehension exams had ended Izuku had gotten to talk to Momo on the way back to the locker rooms. He'd found out that her quirk let her create anything so long as she knew the atomic configuration of the item she was making, and it was nonliving.
It was perfect, he thought as he continued doodling into his notebook. Since the lesson began he had began making a sketch detailing the trident Katakuri used and hoped to ask her sometime in the future if she could make it for him. He added as much detail as possible in an effort to make it as simple as possible to recreate.
Likewise in the way she told him about her power he had told her how his 'quirk' worked and explained its versatility. He knew she wasn't that impressed when he first told her it was mochi, but after he had explained its uses he felt proud when she asked to know more about it.
Discreetly glancing to his right he noticed that while she was taking notes she looked just as bored as he did. She turned to him and flashed him a small smile before taking a breath and continuing to write. If this had been pre devil fruit he would be up in the front taking notes like his life depended on it. Now? Not so much.
Finally after what felt like an eternity the bell rang and the current teacher packed everything up and headed out. Sitting back in his chair he stretched his arms out and let out a deep breath. "About time." He said softly to himself.
They had a few minutes of transition period before their next professor came in to teach the next subject and many of the students took advantage. Most began talking to one another about anything that had happened or something they'd seen recently. The only ones not talking were Bakugo who just looked upset, and Todoroki who was reading a book.
"Midoriya-kun" He heard from next to him "I missed part of the notes from the beginning of the lesson do you mind if I borrow your notebook for a second?" Momo asked him.
"Sure" He handed her the book. He watches as she copies down his notes before she turns the page. She frowns quickly in confusion before her eyes widen slightly and she leans forward to take a closer look.
"What's this a doodle of?" She asked as she held up the drawing of the trident. Maybe doodle was the wrong word as to the right of it, it had lines leading to different parts of it with notes detailing the composition and sizes of the parts.
"It's something I want made as a support item." She turned her attention back to it. The handle was five feet long made completely out of carbon fiber. At the top it had three prongs tightly held together with the middle one being a full cylindrical spear with the two outer blades looking similar only pointing slightly outward. They too were made out of carbon fiber. There was a scribble next to it where the word stainless steel had been crossed out.
"I wanted to wait until I knew you a bit better before asking but since you've already seen it I might as well ask if you can make it. I'll pay you for your services if I have to." He told her.
"Hmm it shouldn't be too hard. The detailing on the drawing will make it a lot easier. I'll try it at home tonight to see if I can get it right and I'll let you know. Can I take this page?" She asked.
"Of course. Thank you by the way. I know you'll do great. I'd rather not have to ask the support course to do it." He confessed.
"I am…coming through the door like a normal person" A powerful voice yelled out from the front of the room. Everyone, even him, was surprised to see All Might in his silver age costume stand tall in front of them. His tendency to spaz out over pro heroes had calmed down over the years but he occasionally let them slip out.
"It's time for your first heroics lesson. To your sides you'll see special cases with your names and a designated number on them. Inside are the hero costumes that were created based on the designs you submitted. Please get dressed and meet in the mock training field outside." He ordered before heading out. Doing as instructed he looked for his name and grabbed his case.
He was kind of excited. He'd finally see how the hero costume he'd submitted came out. When he opened the case in the boys locker room he couldn't stop the smile from forming on his face. Unlike Katakuri who wore a black biker vest he had opted for a sleeveless black shirt instead. It was fireproof and reinforced with special lightweight kevlar to help minimize explosion damage. The best part in his opinion was the maroon colored design on the back. It was the same as the bottom portion of Katakuri's tattoo that resembles a face with a stitched mouth and the word 'Charlotte' in english above it in maroon letters.
He had slim fitting black pants equally resistant as his shirt. The only difference was that he kept his footwear the same with the only difference being that they were designed to be more sturdy. Meaning they weren't suede like his regular pair but made out of super lightweight metal that was soft on the inside so his foot wouldn't hurt.
Overall he was happy with how it had turned out. Giving himself another once over he left the locker room and headed to the field where some were already waiting. The moment he looked at a certain girl he'd wished that he'd opted for the scarf Katakuri wore because he could feel the heat rising to his face. Momo was in her hero costume which consisted of a red and white one piece that was missing most of the middle giving a view of some side boob. Suffice to say it he got an eyeful and had to control his imagination. Apart from that she finished the look with a small brown skirt and matching red boots.
She looked in his direction as he got closer. "Your hero costume is kind of plain no?" She asked. Most others had some sort of unique bits on them. Bakugo with his grenades on his arms, Kirishima with the gears on his shoulders, Tsuyu with the goggles on her head etc….
"Yeah but it's all I really need. I had originally designed this with a spike on my left knee but it looks like that was declined." He commented. Soon all the remaining students made it onto the field in their respective hero costumes and their class began. To everyone's surprise they were doing mock battles where they'd be split up into two teams. Heroes and villains.
Their objective was simple, if they were heroes they had to capture a warhead that the villain team was to guard. If you were on the villain team you had to stop the heroes from touching the warhead or capture them to win.
All Might paired everyone up at random and had two groups go into the building. In the end it Izuku was paired up with Uraraka as the hero team versus Bakugo and Iida as the villains. To make things even better he and Uraraka were first up. The villain team headed into the building first while they had to wait five minutes before entering. Meanwhile All Might and the other students headed to another room where they'd be watching the event go down until their turn came up.
"So what's the plan Midoriya-kun?" Uraraka asked nervously.
"Bakugo doesn't get along with Iida. He won't coordinate with him or listen. He's most likely going to go off by himself and come after me the moment we can begin. I'll take care of him while you locate the warhead. However, don't engage.
He's faster than you and physically stronger. Wait until I appear and we'll take him together. It shouldn't take too long." He explained. She was going to ask if he was sure it would happen like he had explained but one good look at him stopped her. He looked completely calm, sure of himself and had the upmost confidence that things would pan out. She would have to trust him.
She nodded at him and walked forward when All Might's voice alerted them to begin.
Sure enough after only two minutes of walking through the building they heard something. Izuku instantly recognized the sound of small explosions. The sounds got louder the closer the young hero in training got. Finally the sandy blond haired student made it to them and stood tall, glaring at his green haired classmate.
"Go left and find the warhead." Izuku ordered. She nodded and ran off. He could see it in her eyes that she was surprised that Bakugo didn't even try to stop her from getting away.
"Alright Deku now it's just you and me." Bakugo said releasing a few small explosions from his palms.
Izuku internally smirked when he saw Bakugo get angrier at his lack of response. "Don't ignore me loser!" The blond yelled as he propelled himself forward using his explosions.
"Starts off with a right hook" He thought. Having seen grown up around the blond he knew he always started with a right hook. He didn't even need his Kenbunshoku haki to tell him the first attack. As expected when he got within striking distance Bakugo threw his right hook. Only for it to hit air as Izuku had ducked down and to the left.
Not wasting any time the devil fruit user extended his leg to nail the mock villain in the chin. He watched as Bakugo flipped in mid air to force himself to land upright. The moment he landed he swiped the back of his hand on his mouth and frowned when he saw red.
The blond immediately went on the offensive again and rushed forward once again using his quirk to propel himself.
"It'll be different this time." He thought as he saw a red outline of Bakugo in his mind move around. He smirked. "Clever use of his quirk I'll give him that". He added before he set up his counter. He knew it infuriated Bakugo that he wasn't moving from his spot, and didn't even look remotely worried.
Once the blond got close he pointed his hands downward and created an explosion to change his trajectory in mid air. Once he was over Izuku he exploded once more to stop his momentum and point a hand at Izuku's back. Unfortunately for him he wasn't expecting a glowing red arm to be sprouting from his targets back.
"Boom." Izuku said before his mochi arm exploded. He turned around and saw his childhood tormentor on the ground, part of his face was black from the attack. He must have covered his face at the last moment and only got lightly charred.
"Tell me Bakugo, did I do the explosion correctly?" He mocked as the boy stood up before finally going on the offensive. Faster than Bakugo was expecting Izuku appeared in front of him and kicked him in the chest. Following up he extended his arms to grab him by the utility belt and bringing him back.
"Mochi Gatling" He called out as six arms sprouted from his back and began repeatedly punching. The arms punched rapidly for a couple of seconds before all of them punched his solar plexus at the same time, effectively sending him flying into the wall at the end of the corridor. Bakugo's back hit the wall hard enough that it left a small indentation along with cracks to form on the wall.
"I'm disappointed if this is all you're capable of." Izuku told him as he walked forward. The moment he'd dawned his hero costume he'd decided what his name and persona would be. "If only Brulee could see me now, what would she think" He briefly wondered before shaking his head of those thoughts.
"Don't…look down…on me." Bakugo managed to get out in between coughs as he tried to get up on shaky legs.
Spectators room
Their classmates as well as their heroics teacher watched the one sided beatdowns with varying degrees of shock. Bakugo was powerful there was no question about that, his quirk was versatile and in his hands was dangerous. So to see him getting handled was something else. Those who'd been in the same field with him in the entrance exam were more shocked than others.
Two certain people however were watching the battle play out extra carefully. The first was the half hot half cold quirk wielder Todoroki, who knew there was more to the green haired student than others could see. The second was none other than Momo, who since she'd heard about his quirk was curious to see how anyone could use it effectively to be a hero. Needless to say she was impressed.
"Damn, you'd never think Mochi of all things could be so versatile." Kirishima commented.
"He's creative." Tsuyu commented "That's why it's powerful. I don't think anyone else would be able to think to use it like that." She added.
"He did the same thing he did with the ball throw." Momo pitched in. "Rather than shoot a ball however he pressurized his arm to the point that it just created an explosion mimicking Bakugo's quirk. He also seems to know his fighting style well as he had the arm ready beforehand."
"Woah look at that!" Kirishima said pointing to the screen. They watched as Bakugo created an explosion near Izuku's leg. That's not what had the red haired man so amazed though, it was when they watched their classmate regrow his leg like nothing had happened. "He just took the attack and shrugged it off, how manly." He complimented.
The others ignored him and continued to watch as the green haired boy grabbed the blond by the face and slam him into the ground. He followed that up by tossing him into the air and creating a giant mochi fist and punching him back into the wall.
Kaminari's face scrunches up in sympathy as he watched Bakugo try to land a hit on Izuku only for his attacks to be dodged or deflected before he got tagged with a right hook and a straight left. It only got worse when Izuku pinned the boy to the wall and split his leg into ten and each took turns kicking.
"Uhh you guys think maybe we should stop this?" Jirou asked out loud after seeing her classmate switch from kicks to punches.
Back inside the building
Izuku stopped his assault and watched as Bakugo dropped down face first. "Alright, let's go find Uraraka." He said to himself quietly as he began walking away. After only five steps he stopped and narrowed his eyes. In his mind the shape of a gauntlet appeared before increasing in size. He frowned before he understood what it was.
He made a tsk noise and turned around to see Bakugo reaching for one of the pins in his gauntlet. Not letting that happen happen he dashed forward and stepped on the boys arm, stopping him from pulling the pin.
"You don't think I'd really stand there and let you detonate that did you?" He asked rhetorically before he coated his right leg from the knee down in haki and stomped, breaking the weapon. He then stuck his hand out and let it melt onto the boy until it completely enveloped his whole body but his head.
With that done he turned around and headed out. He chuckled a little when he heard Bakugo struggling to get out of the mochi. The rest of the test wasn't too difficult after that. Uraraka had done her job and found the bomb and between the two of them had easily overpowered Iida. While he was fast his technique was too linear. Plus his Kenbunshoku haki had easily helped him maneuver around the boy.
A well timed mochi attack had managed to get Iida stuck while Uraraka went to touch the bomb. All Might called the match and named them the winners and to report back to the room for an evaluation.
They were then able to sit back and watch the rest of the students run the same situation. As he'd expected Todoroki was indeed powerful. He had great control over ice and didn't look remotely winded after freezing the entire building.
Momo's was impressive as well. She could literally make anything she wanted so long as it was inorganic. He briefly wondered if she'd ever thought about making money. An hour later everyone had gone and they were free to go.
As he was heading to the station to head home he couldn't help but be a little anxious. "I really hope Momo can make the trident. I purposely made it as detailed as possible, it would really help me out."
Right before he entered the station he felt his phone buzz in his pocket. Quicky giving it a glance he saw he had a message from his mom. She wanted to know if he could pick up some batteries for their tv remote and pick up a new rice cooker since theirs was starting to break. He stepped out and looked around and luckily, there was an electronics store nearby. The good thing about Japan was that electronic stores had almost everything in one of their ten floors. From electronics to furniture.
It took about ten minutes to maneuver through all of the people browsing the shelves inside before he finally found what he was looking for. Though what he found managed to surprise him slightly.
In front of him was UA brand batteries. They were blue and white and if you looked closely they even had the PE uniform design on them. "Designed to go beyond." He read the back of it out loud before turning them back around. "Plus Ultra/Plus Ultra!" He and someone else said at the same time.
Turning around he came face to face with a young man about his age, though he was much taller. He had short black hair and wore a white button up shirt with black jeans and matching black shoes. He had his right hand raised into the air and a giant smile on his face as he looked back at him.
"Sorry if I caught you off guard. I recognzied your uniform and heard you reading the label and have always wanted to say 'plus ultra'. I love UA and saw my chance to say it." He explained before stiffening up and bowing down far enough to hit his head on the ground while apologizing again.
Izuku blinked. Again. "Uhh don't worry about it" He replied.
"My name is Yoarashi Inasa of Shiketsu High School nice to meet you." Inasa introduced himself.
"Midoriya Izuku." He greeted back before adding "If you go to Shiketsu what are you doing here if your school is out west?"
"Well I actually live here but the school year doesn't start for us until next week. I'm doing some last minute shopping and picking up something for my dad while I'm at it." Inasa explained.
"Oh that makes sense. But if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you apply to UA if you're here and you love it so much?" He noticed the boys smile drop ever so slightly before it was back in place.
"I actually did, I got recommendations to enter and passed their entrance exam but in the end I decided against attending due to some personal reasons." He answered. Izuku was curious as to why anyone would decline UA but could tell he didn't want to go into more detail about it, so he let it drop.
"It's impressive that you managed to get into both UA and Shiketsu. It isn't easy from what I've heard of that school."
Inasa nodded. "Correct. Tell you what let's walk and talk I need to buy a small grill while I'm here." He said before walking towards the escalators. "It's most likely in the same floor as the cooker anyway. Why not"
The two continued talking as they looked for their respective items. Well Inasa did most of the talking with Izuku giving his two cents every now and then or answering a question. Considering that his only 'friend' when he was younger was Bakugo this was a breath of fresh air. He actually found out that the boys quirk was 'whirlwind' and was very proficent in using it if he could get into the best hero schools.
From what he gathered he was smarter than he let on and his favorite thing in a hero is passion. Finally after a couple minutes of searching the two had what they needed.
"Well this is it Midoriya, it was great meeting you. I'm glad that I was still able to make a friend from UA even though I don't attend it. The next time we meet will most likely be at the provisional license exam in a few months time." Inasa said. "If there's a battle portion this year I hope I get to face you. I know you have passion and I'm curious to see how you use mochi in battle." He added with a challenging smile.
Izuku felt himself smirk. "Likewise. I want to see how strong you are and how you use wind to your advantage. I'll see you at the exam." He said extending an arm. Inasa shook his hand and waved as he turned around and headed out.
"Wonder how I'd stack up against someone who uses wind. Guess we'll find out soon." He thought as he headed to the station.
Alright so I'm going to end it there. I'm going to be changing the provisional exam slightly when we get to it as well as deviate from canon a little bit. No one wants to re read what's in the manga with no changes after all. Anyways we got to see Midoriya give Bakugo the work and make a new friend in Inasa. Anyway tell me what you guys thought and if there's anything you'd like to see. Feel free to let it be known in a review or PM me. Later.
