A/N: Hello, everyone! Before we begin, I'd like to say thanks to all of you once again for enjoying these stories and answer a few questions in the reviews from Plus-Ultraman.
Awesome chapter, I remember the first time I saw this fic and I was like"hm interesting...i'll read it!" and I do not regret it, Daruka taking down the sludge villain was awesome, I also found it funny how Daruka tore right into the pros for scolding Deku, and it seems Bakugo has developed a sort of personal rivalry with Daruka, and Daruka now knows about All Might's condition
Questions: Is All Might gonna learn about Daruka's origins?
Well, you're about to find out.
Who in Class 1-A will Daruka replace?
Well, better prepare you guys for this now. I won't spoil who she's replacing, but I will say this. As you may have guessed with the appearance of the Astalos, Daruka will not be the only former monster in Class 1-A, meaning she will not be the only one replacing someone. And they will be replacing someone with similar powers to their own.
Will Daruka fight the Nomu when we get to the USJ?
That's something I won't spoil.
And is Daruka gonna have a love interest? (Like Bakugo, Todoroki or Deku)
I don't have anything planned yet, but we'll see.
Also, guys, if it's not too much trouble, please consider following me on Twitter, SaiBlade1 or my Facebook, Lance Blade and share my tweets around so more people see my YouTube stuff and hopefully subscribe. And if you haven't, it'd be great if you subscribed to my YouTube channel, Sai Blade. It does not cost anything. It'd REALLY help me out and make it easier for me to write my stories here. I'm desperate guys, I really need any help I can get. You would be my heroes if you did this.
But without further ado, let's get back to the story!
All Might then held his arms out. "I deem you worthy of my power. My Quirk is yours to inherit." He said, Midoriya finally stopping himself from crying, looking up at All Might, tilting his head in confusion and disbelief.
Midoriya still knelt there on the ground, looking at the hero in confusion. "Wait, what? What do you mean, inherit?" Midoriya asked, to which All Might burst out in laughter.
"You should see your face right now! Don't worry! I'm not gonna force this thing on you." All Might said, walking up to Midoriya.
"I... I have all kinds of red flags going on. And I'm not sure if that's my monster brain or my human brain." Daruka said awkwardly.
All Might seemed to ignore the girl's statement, instead raising a finger high into the air. "Listen well, young man! This is your choice!" He said, before pointing at Midoriya. "Do you want to accept my awesome power or not!?" He demanded dramatically, a yellow downward speed-line background behind him, blood spewing from his mouth.
Midoriya simply sat there, shocked. (What is he talking about? What is this?) Midoriya wondered as All Might wiped the blood from his mouth.
"There's some things you should know about my power." All Might said, before a bunch of newspapers with his picture or All Might being on talk shows was shown. "journalists always guess my power is super strength, or some kind of invulnerability. When people ask in interviews, I always make a joke and dodge the question. It's because the world needs to believe that their symbol of peace is just a natural born hero like any other." He explained as Midoriya looked at him, shocked by what he was hearing.
"But they're not. There's nothing natural about my ability." All Might said, raising his arms into the air, then holding them out widely with his muscular form in the background behind him, throwing a a punch and yelling SMASH. "I wasn't born with this power! It's a sacred torch that was passed down to me from someone else." He said.
Midoriya was shocked at this. "Someone gave you this Quirk?! No way..." He said in disbelief.
"Yes, way! And you're next! I can give you my abilities!" All Might explained as the wind blew, lifting his shirt enough to reveal his injury.
"Hold on! This is a lot to process!" Midoriya said, waving his hands a bit, before a phone was shown scrolling through some forum site.
"Summary of What's Known About All Might's Quirk"
"It's true that there's a lot of debate about what your Quirk actually is. Nobody's ever figured it out, it's one of the world's greatest mysteries! People are constantly talking about it online." Midoriya explained. The boy appeared to be overwhelmed by the knowledge, his eyes spinning in confusion with a purple and orange swirling background behind him, the kanji for "mutter" repeatedly flying from his mouth as he... well, muttered.
"The idea of passing on a Quirk or inheriting it just doesn't make any sense to me, I've never read anything like that before, powers are supposed to be unique to each individual, I mean, since the first superpowers, no one's ever been able to just GIVE someone else their power like a present, that's crazy! If this is true, we'd have to rethink everything we knew about Quirks to begin with..." The boy muttered, trying and failing to process all of this. As he spoke, the mutter kanji continued to spread outwards until it even seemed to form a dome around him and All Might.
All Might looked on, unsure of what to make of the scene himself. "Uh... sounds like you're overthinking this whole 'inheriting' thing." He said, before finally getting fed up. "Stop nerding out!" He ordered, snapping Midoriya back to reality.
"You have to adjust your reality and accept this new truth!" All Might said, holding his arms out to the side widely once again.
"Yeah, dude. You already know I'm a monster from another universe. This doesn't seem nearly as weird in comparison." Daruka told the boy.
"There you go again with that lying. That's something you're gonna have to work on." All Might said.
"I'm not lying." Daruka insisted, before sighing. "I am really not doing a good job at this secret thing." She said, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Midoriya stood up and placed a hand on Daruka's shoulder, which was slightly difficult due to the height and spoke to his idol. "It's true, All Might! I even saw her memories! She used to be a giant dinosaur! There's a detective who you could ask for more information, Ichika Hayabusa-" Midoriya began.
All Might perked up at this. "Oh. Ichika. I've worked with her on one or two occasions before. Well, say no more. If you say she can vouch for you, I believe it. Still. That's a lot to take in. Dinosaurs from other worlds." He repeated the information he was told, not having been this shocked since his own initial taking of One For All.
"And I may not be the only one. It was hard to see, but earlier I saw someone flying through the air and it looked like he had the body parts of another monster from my world, the Astalos. Basically an psychotic electric dragon." She explained.
"Whoa. This sounds big. I'll definitely have to let other heroes know to be on a lookout for anything strange like that. But your information could be important as well. And if you want to look into this, your best bet would be going to UA to become a hero to be able to investigate these things with the support of the law." All Might said.
Daruka thought about this, before nodding. "I might as well. Something's definitely going on and I want to find out what." She agreed.
Midoriya smiled at this. "This is the right choice for you, Daruka. I know it." He told her.
"Right. We got off track there for a moment. Sorry about that, young man." All Might apologized, before lowering his right arm and holding his left arm out in front of him with his hand open, slightly cupped like he was loosely a round object. "I can transfer my Quirk to someone else. And that's just one facet of my secret abilities." He explained, before the palm of his hand began glowing. "The true name of my power is One For All." He explained.
"One... For... All..." Midoriya repeated as he watched in awe.
"Sounds like some weird catchphrase for a group of goofballs." Daruka said, less impressed.
The two males in the conversation face-vaulted at this, before recovering. "I assure you, young Daruka, it's much more than that." All Might explained, before the camera zoomed into his eye, a line of light appearing to hit a star, then moving onto another, then yet another. "One person improves the power, then passes it off to another person. It continues to grow as it's passed along." All Might explains, before the light hits a yellow star and we return to All Might with the light in his hand. "It is this cultivated power that allows me to save those who are in need of a hero. The truth behind my strength" He explained, dissipating the light and clenching his fist.
"But why would you choose to give me a gift like that? What if I can't live up to it? If it's that incredible, you should give it to someone like Daruka." Midoriya asked.
The former Brute Wyvern rolled her eyes at this. "Jeez, kid. He said he wants to give you the power, so agree to take it already. Have some respect for yourself and get a little greedy for once. You want it, so take it!" She told him, not believing someone would be offered a power, then question why instead of immediately jumping at the chance to take it.
"Perhaps not the most eloquent way to put it, but she's right, young man. If anyone is worthy of it, it would be you. I was on a long hunt for a worthy successor. And then, I watched you jump into action as the rest of us stood idly by." All Might explained, a flashback of Midoriya rushing in to save Bakugo playing. "You may be just a Quirkless fanboy, but you rushed in to save that kid! You acted like a hero!" All Might explained as we cut back to him, then to Midoriya looking on in disbelief, then tearing up from happiness.
"Jeez, dude! How are you not dead from dehydration with how much you cry?!" She asked.
"Seriously! You gotta stop crying so much if you want my Quirk! Come on, Kid." All Might agreed.
Midoriya clenched his pant legs tightly in his fists as he tried to compose himself. (He said so much to encourage me. He even told me about the secret behind his powers. Is this what I've been waiting for all these years? How can I turn him down?) He asked himself in his mind, wiping his tears away with his forearm, before standing up. "Okay, I'll do it! Yes!" He confirmed determinedly.
"No reluctance! That's exactly how I figured you'd respond. With the two of you as potential students, the future of UA is looking bright." All Might said.
After their insane meeting with All Might, learning about One For All and the fact he had chosen Midoriya to be his successor and finally, agreeing to meet with the Number One hero in two days, the two finally arrived at Midoriya's apartment building. Seeing the large building and believing the entire thing belonged to her new friend, Daruka was quite shocked to say the least. "Whoa! You own one of these buildings! I don't think even the Sapphire Star is treated that well!" The former Brute Wyvern cried out in shock. She had heard a few people, particularly the mushroom girl (The Handler) had called her hunter partner that and how he was supposedly their greatest hunter, so she knew he must have good accommodations, but not nearly this good.
Midoriya chuckled at this. "Oh, no. We don't own the whole building. We just have one apartment." He explained, leading her up to his apartment and the two entered. "Hey, Mom! I'm home! And I brought the exchange student!" He called.
Then, a shorter, stockier woman emerged from the kitchen area not far away. "Oh, welcome home, honey!" She said, before looking at the monster girl. "And you must be Daruka. It's so nice to meet you! I hope you feel right at home here while you stay with us." She spoke.
Daruka bowed at the shorter woman like Ichika had instructed. "Thank you for letting me stay in your home." She said gratefully.
The Midoriya matriarch then noticed the girl's appearance. "Oh, my. With that green hair and without that tail, you could almost pass off as a part of our family. That would be nice, since Izuku could use a big sister to keep him out of trouble sometimes." She said with a small smile.
"Mom!" Izuku complained.
"You have no idea." Daruka said with a smirk, causing the boy to sulk more.
"I'll show you to the guest room you'll be staying in while you live with us." Inko said, before noticing the girl's lack of luggage. "Oh, do you not have any other clothes or anything else?" She asked in slight concern.
"Uh- the airport I arrived from lost my stuff. But I received a call that it should be showing up her a bit later tonight." She explained. That's the story she made with Ichika, who would bring her some of her clothes later on. Fortunately, the detective had similar body proportions to the former World Eater.
"I see. Well, that's a relief. Let's go get you settled in, then." Inko said, leading her away.
"Alright then." Daruka agreed, before turning to Izuku. "I'll see you later then, 'little brother'." The former Wyvern said teasingly as she followed the boy's mother, the hero fanatic groaning at what would surely be a running gag between the two women for the foreseeable future. With some time to himself, he decided to sit down and start making a page of notes on the new tenant of his home. He sketched an image of the monster girl with her arms crossed and her tail wrapped around her legs in front of her on the left side of the pair of pages, before writing up his notes on the right side.
Two days later in the early morning at the Dagoba Municipal Beach Park, a boardwalk could be seen, where Midoriya could be heard straining fiercely. The boy was gritting his teeth forcefully and his eyes clenched tightly, with ropes around his shoulders. The reason why was because he was trying to drag a refrigerator behind him with All Might sitting on top of it in his muscular form. "Hey, hey, hey! It's pretty comfy up here on this fridge! How you doin' down there?" All Might asked, almost like he was taunting the boy.
"Okay, I'm starting to think you like messing with kids." Daruka said flatly while slightly glaring at All Might from the sidelines. She wanted to help, but All Might had ordered her not to. Actually, at first he wanted her on top of the fridge with him, but she shut that idea down.
Midoriya kept trying but collapsed from the effort. "People move these every day, you know. And most of them don't even have any super strength." All Might told him.
"Well, yeah, but there's an extra 600 pounds with you sitting on top of it." Midoriya countered.
"Nah! I've lost weight, so I'm down to 560 these days. In this form at least." All Might corrected him.
Midoriya sighed at this and looked around, revealing the beach was completely full of garbage. "Great, much better." Midoriya said.
"Well, if you feel that way, I could switch spots with Daruka." All Might said.
"That wouldn't be nearly as much of a difference as you think it is. My tail alone probably weighs a hundred pounds." She informed the hero.
"Why do you have me dragging trash across the beach, anyway?" Midoriya asked.
All Might laughed at this, pulling out his phone and taking some pictures. "Take a look at yourself! You're not ready for my power." The Number One Hero told him.
Midoriya looked back at him in shock with tears burst from his eyes. "But I thought you said that I was worthy!" He said, before screaming in sadness as All Might walked up, still taking pictures.
"And are the pictures really necessary? Seriously, Pukei-Pukei don't bully people this badly." Daruka said sourly.
"I'm talking about your weak body." All Might explained as Midoriya looked back, shocked and horrified. "My Quirk, One for All is a lot to handle. The combined physical abilities of everyone who's ever used it creates a hurricane of pure force! An unprepared body can't fully handle it." He continued, a darkened image of Midoriya's body was then shown, his arms, legs and head all flying off with "KABOOM!" shaking behind his body in the background. "Your arms and legs would shoot off if you tried to." All Might warned.
"Seriously?!" Both green-haired teens asked, horrified, with Midoriya desperately shaking the image from his head and looking around, rubbing his arms. "Okay. So, this whole trash thing is just some kind of hardcore gym workout and you're my trainer." Midoriya realized.
All Might gave him a thumbs up at this. "You got it! But there's another reason, too!" He said, walking back over to the fridge. "I did a little online research yesterday. Turns out that this part of the beach used to be beautiful, but it's been a total mess for the last few years." He explained, "gently" tapping the fridge, leaving a sizeable dent in it.
Midoriya stood up at this. "That's right. Because of the ocean currents, anything dropped in the water ends up here. People take advantage of that when they're illegally dumping their trash. Now all the locals avoid this place." He said, looking around at the ridiculous mounds of trash.
"What a bunch of assholes. At least the people of my world respect nature." Daruka said bitterly.
"Hero's these days are all about showing off and catching flashy villains." All Might explained, walking around behind the fridge and bringing his hand down on it, leaving a dent in it before he began pressing down on it and compacting it. "Things were different before Quirks. Service is what mattered. Back then, heroes were ones who helped the community. Even if it was kinda BORING." All Might said, putting a little extra effort into the last bit of compacting, creating enough force to clear away a decent section of the trash around him, giving a beautiful view of the beach behind him.
"You'll restore the coastline for this entire section of the beach. Just you. No help from young Daruka. That is the first step on your path, young man, towards becoming a hero." All Might told him.
As Midoriya panicked about how much work that was, Daruka raised her hand. "Okay, so, that explains what Midoriya's going to be doing, but what about me?" She asked.
"Ah, yes! Well, I took the liberty of speaking with Ichika and learning more about your past, and about the monster you once were!" All Might began.
He then took a moment to remember the detective's small temper tantrum when he informed her he was aware of Daruka's true origins.
"Again?! What was the point of telling her to keep it a secret if everyone and their mother keeps finding out?! And you know transferring memories gives me a headache!" She ranted before she had eventually complied and showed him the memories.
All Might shook his head for a moment, before continuing. "And so, I saw you as the mighty beast you once were! And based on what I saw from those memories and how you handled the sludge villain, it would appear you are relying on the same basic strategy you did before, simply slamming your body into the enemy or breathing your Dragon Energy. It's still clearly effective, but with your now much smaller size and against more skilled enemies, it's no longer always guaranteed to work. Therefore, I will be teaching you more effective fighting techniques from human martial arts! And then you can later teach them to young Midoriya as he is resting on days in between serious workouts! It's a win-win!" All Might declared.
He then smirked to himself. (Booyah! I'm an amazing teacher! Ichika and Tsukauchi didn't know what they were talking about when they said I shouldn't be a teacher!) He mentally patted himself on the back.
"Still even with your help working out and Daruka's training, it might not be enough. How am I gonna do all this in just ten months?" Midoriya asked in concern.
All Might was prepared, however, with a few pieces of paper. "Not to worry, kid! I've got you covered! With my handy 'Aim to Pass American Dream Plan'!" All Might reassured him, tapping the papers. "Follow this to the letter and the beach should be cleaned up just in time! I also detailed every other aspect of your life while I was at it!" All Might explained.
Midoriya looked through the plan, slightly shocked at how deeply he'd have to commit to this plan. "Even my sleep is scheduled!" He exclaimed.
Daruka looked over the boy's shoulder and was shocked to see what All Might expected of him. "You've got to be kidding me. Is this even possible?" She asked. [1]
All Might then slid up beside him. "If I'm being honest, this is going to be super hard. Think you're up to it?" He asked the boy.
"Yeah, sure I am. I have to work way harder than anyone else to get in. So what choice do I have, right?" Midoriya said as All Might nodded.
"This is gonna be a long then months..." Daruka groaned.
And then ten months of intense training began for the two of them. Midoriya was struggling to drag away a set of lockers, moving it in small bursts. "Come on, put your back into it, Midoriya! It's not gonna move itself!" An inflated All Might cheered him on, while also facing off against Daruka. She threw a punch at him, but the pro hero deflected it with an outside block and swept one of the former monster's feet out from under her, taking her off-balance, at which point the weight of her tail was too much and caused her to fall to the ground.
Next, the green-haired boy was seen running with a tire. (I'm using different muscle groups depending on the size and shape of trash that I'm hauling.) The boy analyzed.
As he did this, All Might was showing off how to be quick and light on one's feet and displaying fancy footwork as he evaded Daruka's attacks. "Let's go, let's go! The clock is ticking, and 10 months is gonna go by in no time!" All Might told them, Midoriya panicking and tripping while All Might rushed in faster than Daruka was ready for and delivered a strong punch that once again took her off balance and sending her to the ground. "Don't you give up, it's time to Go Beyond!" He yelled, instantly getting Midoriya back to his feet and running again while Daruka slammed her fist on the ground, getting up and rushing the pro.
Later, we see Midoriya's middle school, where Midoriya was struggling to stay awake during the teacher's lesson. (So tired... But I gotta focus...) Midoriya thought, the camera panning down to reveal his notebook, where the boy was writing down his own "Proposed Independent Training Menu".
However, Daruka happened to look over and see what he was writing and narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure your All Might already said your training was gonna be super difficult, so making a whole new plan on the fly probably wouldn't be a great idea. Besides, how would your favorite hero feel if he found out you were going against the plan he made just. For. You?" Daruka added, putting on an extra sad tone at the end, even tearing up a bit.
(Crap! She's learned a lot about human emotion. Maybe too much if she's using it against people!) The boy thought, grumbling as he trashed the proposed plan.
The next day, Midoriya was running on the beach to where All Might waited, then struggling to push some large tires as All Might taught Daruka counters and grapples. Another scene showed Midoriya running past the two as they were practicing throws, Daruka finally getting some revenge by being able to throw the skeletal hero over her shoulder. Midoriya was then at home, showing his mom his diet menu and soon had a salad and plate of pasta in front of him with some kind of juice and a bowl of rice, which he was consuming furiously as Daruka devoured a leg of ham beside him.
Midoriya and Daruka were later shown studying and was back to the beach the next day, Midoriya pushing an old safe without breaks, like he needed for the lockers. Meanwhile, Daruka was trying out some combos, throwing a round kick, swinging her tail, then throwing an outside crescent kick, all of which All Might narrowly ducked under.
Midoriya was then looking at a paper All Might showed to him, then struggled to bench press Daruka's tail as the former Brute Wyvern stood about a foot away, practicing boxing with All Might, throwing several jabs and ducking the hero's hooks.
Later, Midoriya was hurriedly eating his food as his mother stared at him, before he asked for more. Meanwhile, All Might was crying anime waterfall tears as he was finally treating Daruka to the promised all-you-can-eat buffet, the reptilian girl on her tenth plate. This was certainly going to dent the hero's wallet.
The next scene showed Midoriya jogging late at night with large bags under his eyes as he avoided attacks from Daruka. Then, in bright daylight, Midoriya leaned exhaustively against an oil drum, panting heavily with tears in his eyes... he then throws up as All Might shrugs and Daruka rubbed his back. Then, in the pouring rain, struggling to push an old truck, but to no avail. As this happened, All Might was showing Daruka how to use weather and terrain to her advantage by rushing at her, but then dropping and sliding, grabbing her leg and pulling her off-balance once again, but this time she caught herself as she felt, twisting and smacking him away with her tail.
The next day, both green-haired teens were swimming on the beach as All Might supervised them in a goofy striped bathing suit... but he was soon distracted as 4 girls come up to greet him.
Next, Midoriya is lifting weights in his home as Daruka went through several katas [2]. Then, Midoriya was loading more trash into a truck as All Might and Daruka blocked and countered each other's attacks and grapples. After this, Midoriya was shown in school, working hard, while also strengthening his left hand with a grip strengthener as Daruka struggled to process the information she was learning. Finally, Midoriya was seen walking in the setting, but still blazing sun, carrying All Might in his hero form on his shoulders as Daruka shadowboxed while running beside him, before everything went black...
The leaves were now gone from the trees as a truck door closed, All Might getting out of the truck and walking to the beach on February 26, a scarf now added to his attire. "It was the morning of the exam..." Midoriya narrated. As All Might made his way to the beach, he suddenly heard Midoriya screaming. This wasn't a scream of pain, however, but of triumph. The hero's eyes widened as the sun came up and he saw Midoriya standing atop a massive mound of trash, not wearing a shirt, screaming to the heavens. A closer look revealed the boy to be covered in sweat.
All Might ran up and looks at the beach in shock. "Hey, hey, holy crap, kid!" All Might said in amazement as it was revealed the beach was completely spotless. "You even cleaned up outside the area I told you to! Seriously, kid! There's not one scrap of trash left on this beach! Only a few minutes to spare, but you've exceeded my expectations!" He spoke. "Holy... stinking..." He started, before transforming into his hero form. "SUPER CRAP!" He finished.
Midoriya swayed wearily back and forth, before falling from the mountain of trash he stood on. Fortunately, All Might was immediately there to catch him. And as he did, he noticed Daruka going through several martial arts motions he taught her perfectly, sending out ten different types of punches with each hand for twenty total punches, crossing her arms above her head, as if blocking someone bringing a club down on her head, before driving her elbows back shooting her hands back to her waist as if to drive her elbows into the hands/wrists of someone grabbing her around the waist, then throwing four more blocks with each arm, making eight blocks for a total of ten, then throwing a series of kicks with each leg. They were fairly standard moves, but the large dark spot of sand in front of her means she had been sweating profusely, likely having trained for hours. "Oh... Hey, All Might. What took you so long? We both just finished our training." She said tiredly, walking over.
"Excellent work! Both of you. You've truly gone beyond all my expectations." The hero praised, putting a hand on Daruka's shoulder as well.
Midoriya looked up at him with a smile. "I finished everything... All Might, I did it. Do you think I'm ready now?" The boy asked weakly.
Daruka wiped the sweat from her forehead before she looked at the boy. "You've got to be kidding, right? Look at everything you did here. I'd say you're more than ready." She praised, putting a hand on Midoriya's shoulder.
All Might chuckled at this. "Yeah, I'm with young Daruka. You did good, kid. I gotta say, I'm impressed!" He said, setting the boy down. "I knew you had it in you, but this is beyond." He said, pulling out his phone. "Take a look at this." He said, showing Midoriya a picture of himself, on the ground and crying on one of their first days of training.
"Um..?" Izuku said unsurely.
"I thought you were done with the bullying after day one." Daruka said, unimpressed the hero was showing the rather embarrassing picture of Midoriya.
All Might held a hand up in defense. "Hang on, now. I promise you it's for a good reason." He assured the former Brute Wyvern, before looking back to Midoriya. "It's you, crying, 10 months ago." All Might explained. "Look how far you've come! Such improvement!" He said as he and Daruka observed Midoriya's body, noting the boy was now ripped and even had a 6 pack. "There's still a long way to go before you can inherit my full power set. But it's starting to look like you can do it!" All Might praised, holding his arms out with the sun beaming down on them.
Izuku looked down at his hand. "All Might... Do I deserve this? Are you sure?" He asked, leaving the hero surprised by the question. "You put so much time and energy into helping me... How did I get so lucky?" He asked, starting to cry a bit once again.
All Might simply laughed at this. (He's really worried about that after all these months?) He thought.
Daruka shook her head at this. "That's not it, Midoriya. You didn't get lucky. I got lucky winding up here instead of raging as a mindless dinosaur back in my own world. I got lucky that I still had my powers when I came here. I got lucky I found someone like you and your mother who were willing to take me in so I wasn't homeless. That was all pure luck. But you... You've worked hard to achieve this. You showed you have the will and the heart to get this far, and you worked to have the body to go even further." She told him.
All Might gave a thumbs up at the girl. "Very well spoken, young Daruka! If this hero thing doesn't work out for you, which I'm still totally positive it will, you could maybe be a poet!" He told her, then turned and patted the boy on the back. "It was your hard work that did this, not mine." He reassured the boy. "Now, for your reward, Izuku Midoriya!" He announced.
"Yes, sir!" Midoriya said.
All Might then plucked a strand of hair out of one of his "antennae." "Someone once told me there's a difference between being lucky and deserving. One's an accident, the other's a reward. Never get the two confused." He explained, causing Midoriya to take a small gasp, surprised. "Take that to heart, young man. This gift, you earned with your own valiant efforts." He told the boy.
Midoriya nodded and clenched his fist. "And so... I reached out my weak, Quirkless hand. And grabbed the future." Midoriya narrated again as All Might held out the hair.
"Eat this." All Might instructed.
Both green-haired teens were shocked at this. "Huh?" They both asked.
All Might then began rubbing his head. "To inherit my power, you've got to swallow some of my DNA, that's how it works!" The hero explained.
"This isn't exactly how I imagined it! Midoriya said nervously.
"You couldn't have him drink a bit of your blood or something? Eating a hair is just disgusting." Daruka said. So far, one of her least favorite parts about being a human was hairs from her head occasionally wound up in her mouth.
"Drinking blood is way worse than that! What's wrong with you!?" Midoriya questioned his house guest.
"Come on, there's no time! You'll be late for the exam! Eat! Eat! EAT!" All Might ordered as Midoriya screamed.
A/N: Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry I cut off the ending bit of the chapter, but the extra bit with Daruka moving in would've made the chapter WAY too long. But I will try to make the next chapter as epic as I can to compensate, so look forward to that!
[1] Spoiler alert: No! I actually googled it and according to analysts, All Might's exercise plan will not work because the most important part of exercise is resting and sleeping to allow your body and muscles to heal after intense workouts, but the plan only allows Midoriya about 4 hours of sleep per night, which is not enough. Maybe not AS bad as Saitama's workout plan, but still not great.
[2] So, we never see All Might use any real martial arts, mostly because he doesn't really need to, but I'm just gonna assume he at least knows some he could teach to Daruka. Come to think of it, as far as we've seen, they've never really had a class teaching them any real fighting styles. You think that'd be important at a school training them TO FIGHT VILLAINS! At least put in a karate class! Even my basic bitch high school had martial arts 1 and 2 that taught Chinese Kenpo!
