Chapter 7

I woke up feeling a bit groggy, I tried to wipe my eyes but I couldn't move my arm, I looked down to see Eri sleeping, clutching my arm, I smiled and used my free arm to stroke her hair.

I reached for my phone to check the time, 5:20, I have to be at school by 8, I looked out the window, watching the rising sun, it was beautiful, I felt a rustle from the girl holding my arm. Eri opened her eyes and looked up at me, her eyes wide.

"You… real?" I felt an arrow pierce my heart, this girl was gonna kill me with her cuteness, who would harm such an angel. Kai Chisaki. You're on my shit list.

I gave her a smile, "Yeah, I'm real." I assured her, tears started to build in her eyes as she hugged me tightly, I put a hand on her head letting her release her emotions. "Are you hungry?" I asked.

She looked up at me and nodded, I got out of bed, "I'll make you some pancakes." I picked her up and took her to the kitchen.

Mom was still asleep, I'll make her some pancakes as well. I placed Eri on the chair, I took out the ingredients and pan for the pancakes, I had a talent for cooking, doing it now, it made me feel calm.

Eri watched, fascinated by how I was adding ingredients and mixing the batter so well and not making a mess, I looked at her, "Do you want some fruit?" I asked, she slowly nodded, I went through the fridge and took out a mango.

I sliced the mango and put the slices on a plate, I placed it in front of her, she looked at it curiously as she took one with her fork and put it into her mouth. Eri's expression brightened as she started to eat more, I chuckled as I flipped the pancake.

My mom walked in, "Oh Izuku, when did you learn how to make pancakes?" I flinched, "Well, I looked it up and did some practice." I explained, she slowly nodded and took her seat as I put a stack of pancakes in front of Eri and started making more for mom and me.

We ate together with me helping Eri when she had trouble cutting her pancake, Mom was smiling at how I acted like a big brother. Eri loved the pancakes. But she didn't smile, I was determined to make her smile, one way or another.

Mom kept Eri company as I took a bath and got ready for school, I put on my uniform and my red shoes, I got a message on my phone, opening it, I saw it was from All Might. "I got the results from Recovery Girl, Eri doesn't exist in the database, Principal Nezu wants to meet the girl." I frowned, I knew that Eri didn't exist in the database but what did Nezu want with Eri.

I put on my tie, Nezu was really smart. High Specs was a powerful quirk, I had to be careful if he figures out I'm not the real Midoriya.

I walked out, "Mom?" I walked into the living room to see mom dressing Eri into a dress similar to the one in the anime. I was glad that we got the dress, "Mom, Eri is gonna come with me." Mom looked at me, "Oh really?" I nodded,

Eri ran up to me holding my hand. "Well.. I don't think she wants to leave your side anyway." Inko giggled.

I smiled, "Okay, we're gonna go." I said as we walked to the door and Inko waved at us from the door.

The trip to UA was quick, Eri stayed close to me, holding onto me like a lifeline. The train ride was quiet as there weren't so many people yet.

We arrived at UA, All Might was waiting by the entrance in his true form. He gave me a wave, "Young Midoriya."

I picked up Eri as we went inside and All Might guided me to the Principal's office.

We stepped into the office and I saw the chimera that was sitting on the desk, the most intelligent person in My hero academia, the rat who wanted to rule the world, Nezu.

"Ah Izuku Midoriya, it's so nice to finally meet you, I am Principal Nezu." The rat introduced himself, I gave a light bow, "It's nice to meet you." I spoke politely.

Nezu looked at Eri, "And this is little Eri?" She held me tightly, Nezu offered me a seat, I took the seat with Eri on my lap, "So it's true." He hummed, "What is sir?" I asked, "Her clinging to you." He stated.

"Well you do realize that you can't keep her with you all the time do you?" Nezu asked me, I didn't want to say anything but I did. "Well then from what All Might told me, you took her from yakuza, is that correct?" I nodded.

"Well, if it is alright with you. You could leave her here with me, I would be happy to watch over her." I blinked in surprise and by All Might's look, he was on the same boat. "Sir, I don't want to burden you with something like this,"

Nezu gave a light chuckle, "It's no trouble at all." He spoke in a happy tone, "I could also teach her what she is missing." I knew there was something else to this, he probably wanted to observe Eri. He wanted to see why she was important to the Yakuza. They don't know her quirk, I do, I trust Nezu, I just hope nothing bad happens.

I looked at Eri, who was staring at Nezu curiously, I guess she's never seen anything like him. I remember when I first saw him, I couldn't figure out what he was. "Eri, I need to go to class." Eri looked up at me and whimpered.

"You can stay here with Principal Nezu until I finish, you will be learning new stuff also. I'll come back once I'm done." She looked at the chimera for a moment then back at me. "Promise?" Eri asked, "I promise." I held out my pinky, she blinked, "What's this?"

"A pinky promise." I hooked her pinky around mine and she looked at me nodding. "Okay." I got up setting Eri on the chair and rubbed her head. "Behave." I told her, "Okay." She gave me a hug which I returned. "You better go, your class starts soon." Nezu spoke up. I looked at the clock, I panicked putting Eri down, "Thank you for watching her, gotta go!" I ran out.

Nezu pointed at the couch and table, on top of the table was a colouring book and crayons, "Now Eri, you can go and draw until I finish, we will start our lessons soon." Eri nodded and hopped down the chair walking to the table.

Nezu looked at All Might, "Now about your request."

I ran fast to my class, I made it to the classroom just 4 minutes before classes started, I made it to the door and got a hold of my breathing, I straightened myself out and walked inside. I saw my classmates jump but then relax when they saw it was me.

"Hey Midoriya, sorry we thought you were Mr. Aizawa." Mina commented, "It's fine." I replied and smiled at everyone. "It's good to see everyone doing okay."

"I'm glad to see you doing well Midoriya, Mina was just telling us about you and your quirk." Tsu said, I looked at the pink girl who gave a lazy smile, well she was the queen of gossip, at least it wasn't about my love life… I hoped it stayed that way.

I took a seat as Mr. Aizawa walked in, "Morning." No mummy man, good.

"I hope you enjoyed your break because your fight isn't over." Straight to the point.

Everyone tensed, "The UA sports festival is coming up soon." Aiza "That's a super normal school event!" the class shouted.

I grinned, "Wait is it okay to have the sports festival after villains sneaked in and attacked?" Kaminari asked.

"Yeah what if they attack again?" Ojiro asked. "Apparently, they think of it as U.A. showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding the event. Security will also be strengthened to five times that of previous years. Above all, our sports festival is a huge chance. It's not an event to be cancelled because of a few villains." Aizawa explained.

I tuned out the rest of the explanation, I had more control over One for All, so I don't think I needed the training of Gran Torino, I also had to think about the Stain incident. "Homeroom dismissed,"

Cementoss walked in as Aizawa left, The rest of the day class was normal, at free period everyone started to chat, "I'm so pumped for this!" Kirishima grinned, "Yeah, we have to put on a good show and stand out. We'll take our first steps of being pros!" Sero agreed.

I smiled, "Everyone is so excited." I told Iida, "Don't you feel the same?" Iida asked, I gave him a nod, Camie grinned, "I'm so pu-" But she stopped and looked at Uraraka, I looked at the bubbly girl and was met with an intense look.

"Deku… Iida.." I could feel the edge in her voice. "Let's do our best at the sports festival!" She declared, oh I forgot about this.

"Whoa so intense." Mina commented, "I'm gonna do my best everyone!" Uraraka pumped her fist, "I SAID I'M GONNA DO MY BEST!" After that display, we stepped out into the hallway.

"Hey Uraraka, why do you want to be a hero?" I asked. Ochako stopped and looked down, I could tell that she felt embarrassed by her reason. "It's.. for money." She mumbled, "Oh for money?" I clarified.

Ochako nodded, "Wanting to support your own livelihood is an admirable goal." Iida commented, Camie nodded, "Yeah." She agreed.

Uraraka sighed before explaining, "My family owns a construction company, but we haven't gotten any work at all, so we're flat broke. This isn't really something to tell other people, though…" Ochako played with her hair.

"Oh you could help with your quirk right?" Camie asked, She could make any raw material float. They wouldn't need any heavy equipment." Iida agreed.

"Right? That's what I told Dad when I was little!" Uraraka blurted out, sighing, "But… I want to give my parents a chance to live a comfortable life." She said, determined.

Iida clapped yelling out bravo. I remember the flashback from the anime, who wouldn't Ochako was so adorable.

I put a hand on her shoulder, "Uraraka, wanting to help your family is a noble goal, others want fame or fortune for themselves but you're different, believe me when I say. Your goal is not selfish but selfless." She blushed and smiled. "Thank you Deku."

I smiled back at her, I didn't notice Camie's jealous glare, Mina watching with Toru squealing a bit from their hiding spot.

"YOUNG MIDORIYA IS HERE!" All Might came out from around a corner, "All Might, what are you doing here?" I asked, "Lunch, wanna eat with me?" He asked, holding a bag.

I chuckled as Ochako laughed, "He's like a maiden!"

I left with All Might and we went into a lounge room, I took a seat and All Might placed a bowl of katsudon in front of me, "You didn't have to." I said, All Might waved his hand, "It's my treat and I needed to talk to you about the festival."

"Okay." I replied, I started to eat my meal as All Might deflated and drank his tea.

"My limit is shortened, I can stay in my form for only 2 hours. The battle with that Nomu took more than I thought." All Might explained, okay, All Might has more time now, that's good.

"Will you be able to teach the class with that time limit?" I asked, "Don't worry, I'll manage." All Might clasped his hands together.

"Now onto more important matters, The Sports festival, I don't have much time left as the symbol of peace, I have made you my successor and the time has come for you to show that. The U.A. sports festival is something pro heroes-no, the whole country-is watching closely. A big event! That is what I brought you here to talk about! The next All Might… the fledgling Symbol of Peace… Izuku Midoriya. I want you to tell the world 'I am here!'" All Might declared.

I stared at him as he spoke, I knew that I had to make an impression, a big one. "I will All Might." I raised my hand letting One for All course through it, "I'll show the world that the next generation will be a bright one!" I gave him a determined smile. "Everyone who supported me so far, I can't let them down."

My mentor matched my smile, "I'm sure you will make everyone proud." I put my hand down and finished my food, "I need to ask you something." I looked up as All Might had his eyes narrowed.

"When we first met, you were a shy, nerdy fanboy, now you're confident and sure about yourself." I tried my best to not freeze, Bakugo, I can handle but All Might.

"What happened?" All Might asked, I took a sip of my tea, "I wanted to be a good successor, I had to show others that I wasn't gonna be pushed around, I wanted to be strong, but kind, It took a while to get into the swing of it but, I was able to change," I explained looking at him in the eye.

All Might stared at me for a moment before nodding, "Okay, well, as long as you're not causing any trouble." He said, I nodded and got up, "Thank you for the food, I have to get back to class." All Might smiled, "I'll see you around." He said as I left.

The rest of the classes were uneventful. The last class ended, I had to go pick up Eri, I put my books in my bag and got up, I stopped seeing my class standing in front of the door. Oh geez.

"They want to get the scope of the class that survived a villain attack." Bakugo spoke with arrogance. "They are probably scouting the competition before the sports festival." I needed to defuse the situation before he made the other students hate us.

Bakugo pushed past the other students, "Out of my way extras!" He ordered.

A student with purple hair and dead eyes pushed his way to the front, "I came to see what the famous Class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all the students in the hero course like this?" He asked.

I stepped forward. "Excuse our classmate's behaviour, he's… a brash one." I spoke calmly, I saw Bakugo stop and give me a glare.

I ignored him and set my sights on Shinso, "No our class isn't arrogant." I said, Shinso narrowed his eyes at me, "So you say." I raised an eyebrow.

"Why would we be?" I asked with a tilt of my head. "Because you fought villains and won." I scoffed, making Shinso glare. "What?"

I shook my head, "You say that like it's a privilege." I spoke, I looked behind me, my classmates who were at the mercy of villains, if I got something wrong, one of them would have died.

I looked back at Shinso, "We didn't win, we Survived." I said, emphasizing on the survived, "You think we wanted to be attacked? No we were targeted, we didn't want to fight, but we did." I stepped closer, making Shinso step back.

"We don't want the spotlight for something that could have gotten us killed." I spoke, I let my eyes sweep the room, I could see some of Class 1-B standing outside of their classroom, listening to me. "But excuse me, you have something to say, right, I apologize." I stepped back letting the purple haired teen have the floor.

Shinso crossed his arms. "There are quite a few people who enrolled in general studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. Did you know that?" He asked, I hummed, "Yeah, I do, your one of them aren't you?" I asked.

He nodded, "The sports festival is a chance for me to be transferred into the hero course." Shinso explained.

"So if someone is gonna be transferred in, someone is gonna be transferred out." I narrowed at his words, I could hear my classmates mumbling to each other. "I'm here with a declaration of war, if any of you slip up, I'll sweep your feet and take the position." Shinso glared at me.

I stared at him, I smiled, "Okay, I accept, may the best win." I offered a hand for him to shake. His expression changed to one of surprise. He grunt and walked away, the rest of the crowd dispersed.

I turned to my classmates, "We have some competition class, looking to take our spots, what do you say we give them a challenge?" I grinned ferociously . Everyone looked at me in shock.

"Well, I'm not gonna give up my spot easily." Kirishima got out of his shock and pounded his fists together. "I agree, we should give our best." IIda spoke up.

Jiro huffed. "I'm not gonna just let them take my spot, that wouldn't be rocking would it?" She gave me a smirk. Camie smriked as well. "I'll make them work for it."

Kaminari crossed his arms, "They're not gonna take my spot, I worked hard to get here." Ochako pumped her fist, "I'll do my best!" the rest of my classmates agreed

I grinned wider, I took Shinso's declaration of war and made it into a challenge to encourage my friends. If that wasn't a leader, I don't know what is.

Everyone left wanting to get right to training, I was about to leave as well. "You have a way with words." I looked behind me to see Kendo, the orange haired girl from class B, I smiled, "Well I am class president, I need to have a way with words and you are?" I asked, offering my hand.

Kendo hummed, "Kendo Itsuka, class president of class B." She introduced herself, shaking my hand. "Midoriya Izuku, class president of class A." I introduced myself. "You know our classes are supposed to be rivals." Kendo said.

I frowned. "Well I think that we can learn from each other, a rivalry is good but I don't want us to be enemies." I rubbed the back of my head, "I agree but one of my classmates has a… superiority complex."

I chuckled, "Our class has someone like that also." Kendo laughed, "Yeah I heard." I looked behind her to see Monoma walking over to us, "KENDO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE ENEMY?" Kendo sighed and rubbed her temple. "I see that is the one with the superiority complex?" I asked, she nodded.

"Well, I'll leave you now, I have to be somewhere." I turned to leave, "May the best class win." I tossed back before I made my way to the principal's office, I stopped as Bakugo was waiting at the staircase.

Great… I sighed, "What do you want Bakugo?" I asked not in the mood for his crap. "I challenge you." He declared.

I blinked as I stared into his glaring red eyes. "What?" "You heard me, at the sports festival, if I win, you have to tell me everything." Ah so that's what this is about. "And if I win?" I asked as I crossed my arms.

He growled, so he didn't think of it. "Okay, how about this, If you win, I'll tell you everything you want to know." I spread my arms, "If I win, you drop this whole thing, be less of a dick and more social."

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY YOU NERD?" He looked ready to pounce but stopped himself and settled for growling, "... Fine." He grumbled, I offered my hand.

He looked at it as if it was infected. "We have a deal then." I smiled at him. Bakugo took my hand reluctantly and we shook on it, "You're going down you nerd." He snarled, "I wouldn't expect anything less from my rival." I chimed.

He took his hand back, stomping away. "I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING RIVAL!" He shouted, I shook my head.

This was gonna be an interesting sports festival, wonder what else is gonna happen. I walked to Nezu's office and found her writing on a notebook. With Nezu sitting next to her.

Nezu looked at me, Eri looked up and immediately ran up to me, hugging my legs, I smiled and picked her up, I walked over, "I hope she wasn't a bother." I said taking the notebook she was writing in, Nezu laughed, "She was a delight, bring her back tomorrow." I nodded, Eri waved, "Bye Mr. Nezu." "Goodbye Eri."

I took Eri home, a lot has happened, I needed to train, make new moves, take care of my new little sister, I never thought I would be like this when I fell asleep on my desk… I frowned, did I fall asleep on my desk, I tried to remember but... it wasn't right.

Eri looked at me concerned. "Are you okay?" She asked, I looked at her, I gave her a smile. "I'm alright." I told her.

I couldn't remember what happened before I was sent here, I remember everything else just fine but.. The last bits were blurry. I shook my head and got on the train. Maybe it was nothing.
