CHP- 1: Something Different
Before the story starts some parts of the show will just be summarized because it will go similar to what happened in canon so I felt no need to rewrite a scene that wasn't even changed
—————————————————————
Izuku Midoriya was born into a world where 80% of the population have superpowers called quirks
Izuku doesn't have a quirk so he gets bullied and harassed by his classmates including his old childhood best friend Katsuki Bakugo
Due to a chain of events, he ended up inheriting the most powerful quirk from the most powerful hero and his idol "All Might"
But during the UA entrance exam, he couldn't score a single point but he saves a girl from being crushed from the zero-pointer
He harmed himself to save the girl and was healed by Recovery Girl and immediately send home. While he was sleeping he had a dream
—————————————————————
Izuku opened his eyes to see seven figures beside him in a black void. There were 6 guys and 1 girl coming in different shape and sizes. But the one that stand out was a figure that look like a skinny All Might that was made out of flames
He turns to see two more figures, a man in a tuxedo and a long hair man. Both of which seem to be having a struggle. Izuku watches as the man in the tuxedo places his hand on the long hair man's face
Izuku reaches out as the long hair man does the same to him
"So you're the ninth. I wanted to show you more but you only used One for all once. But it'll be fine. Because you're not alone." The man frightened Izuku on what he mean by that
Izuku wakes up to see his window broken and his hand glowing with One for all
Inko burst into Izuku's room "What Happened!" Inko yelled. Worry about Izuku's safety when she heard the window break
"Uhhh." Izuku blankly stare at his mother realizing the mess he cause
———————————————————————
One week later
Izuku and his mother are sitting on the table enjoying some food she made for them
"Izuku?" Inko checks on Izuku
Izuku just stared at his fish with no emotions
"Snap out of it... Izuku!"
"Uh‐‐!" Izuku snapped out of it
"Why are you smiling at that fish? Was it because of the window? It was an accident." Inko tries to reassure her son that she's not mad about the broken window
"Oh, sorry, no. I just spaced out for a minute." Izuku began to eat his food showing his mother that everything is fine
Later Izuku is laying on the couch thinking about the UA entrance exam "Based on my estimates, I barely passed the written part of the exam. Not that it matters, since I ended up with a big, fat zero in the mock battle. Not a single point. And ever since the exam, I haven't been able to get in touch with All Might." Izuku sighs feeling burn out
"I know. Waiting for the results is terrible." Inko tries to comfort Izuku while mopping the floor
"I guess." Izuku said depressingly
"No matter what, I just want you to know I'm proud of you, and I think you're cool, sweetie." Inko smiles. She did her best to cheer up Izuku
"I didn't tell my mom about All Might or his secret." Izuku remembers how he tried to explain to her on how he suddenly manifested a quirk
———————————————————————
A flashback from a week ago
"OhyeahthecraziestthinghappenedyouseeIendedupunlockingmyquirkduringtheUAentranceexamandapunchedarobotbutIthinksinceamstillnewtomyquirkitstartedtoactupandthatwhyIdestroymywindow!" Izuku quickly mumbled so fast that no one else would be able to tell what he was trying to say
"Oh, my baby finally has a quirk." Inko ran to give Izuku a hug while crying tears of joy
———————————————————————
End of flashback
"I want him to continue being the Symbol of Peace for everyone, the number‐one hero. Besides, he trusted me. So, I'll keep my mouth shut."
Izuku grabs a dumbbell and started to work on his bicep with it
"All Might, somehow, some way, you saw potential in me. But I failed. I let both of us down so much. I'm sorry. But I'll keep trying." Izuku thought to himself in self-pity but still with a waving hope
Inko burst into the room "A letter, Izuku. They came, Izuku. Look! You got a letter! They're here! Your test results from UA!" Inko screams showing him the acceptance letter
———————————————————————
Later Inko paces around her son's door worry if he got accepted to UA or not
Izuku in his his room and struggles to open the letter for a bit but eventually it falls out
All Might appears on a projection "Booya! I am here as a projection now!" All Might said in front of the UA logo
Izuku yelps "Wait, All Might?! But this is from... UA, isn't it?" Izuku didn't know if All Might had anything to do with UA
"I know it's been a while, but with great power, comes a great amount of paperwork." All Might coughs "My apologies, young man. The truth is, I didn't come to this city just to fight villains. You're looking at the newest UA faculty member." All Might points at himself
"You're seriously going to be working at UA?" Izuku questions to All Might as if he was there
"Even though you passed the written test, you got zero combat points in the practical exam. Sorry." All Might apologize
"I know that. Of course, I know. It's all I've thought about." Izuku looks down and starts to cry "I'm a failure.
"Fortunately, there were other factors." All Might continues
Izuku looks up at the projection
"But before we get to that, I have another surprise. Here! Look! A short clip for your viewing pleasure!" All Might turns to point at a TV screen
The TV screen shows Ochako walking up to President Mic
"Um, do you have a sec? Sorry to interrupt." Ochako wanted to ask President Mic a very important question
"It's that nice girl." Izuku said
All Might pause the video "She showed up after the exam to talk about you, young man."
"Huh?" Izuku wanted more info
"What did she have to say? You'll have to stay tuned to find out!" All Might continues the video
"You know that boy with the messy hair and all the freckles? It's hard to describe his face. He's kinda plain‐looking. Uh, doesn't stand out or anything, you know?" Ochako badly describes Izuku
"She means me!" Izuku was kinda hurt by how badly she described him but that didn't matter to him. What matter to him is why would she be talking about him
"I was wondering. Would it be possible to give him some of the points I earned in the exam? I heard him say something about wanting to get just one point in, which just seems crazy. How could someone who took down that huge villain all by himself not have any points in the end?" Ochako felt bad for Izuku. She just wanted him to live out his dream like everyone else
"You'd never be able to hang with the best of the best!" Katsuki's voice echoes through Izuku's head
"He would've had a better score if he hadn't stopped to help me." Ochako continues
"There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger like that!" Death Arm's voice echoes through Izuku's head
"He saved me. I have to make it up to him." Ochako felt like she own Izuku everything
Izuku felt touch by her attempt to help him
"Please, sir! Can't you just...give him my points!" She begs
All Might pause the video "You have a Quirk now, yes. But it's your actions that inspire others." All Might turn his head a little to look at Izuku
Izuku was awe by All Might's words
"And that's why I am here. You see, the practical exam was not graded on combat alone." All Might continues the video
"Thanks for showin' up to the station with your request. But there's no reason to give him your points. The kid's chartin' well on his own." President Mic pats Ochako on the head
All Might ends the video "How could a hero course reject someone who is committed to saving others, no matter the consequences to himself? After all, that is what makes a hero. And that's what my ideal is all about. Training those who would risk their lives for the greater good. So, we have Rescue Points. A panel of judges watches, and they award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains. Izuku Midoriya, 60 Rescue Points!" All Might showed as Izuku gasp at his points "And Ochako Uraraka, 45 Rescue Points! You both passed the exam." All Might congratulated Izuku
"Uh... This is some kinda joke?" Izuku questions the legitimately of this video
"Welcome, Izuku. You have made it. You're now a part of the hero academia." All Might welcomes Izuku
Izuku started to tear up "Thanks." Izuku wipes his tears off "It took a lot of help. But my life has changed completely. And now, I'm enrolling in the high school of my dreams."
Inko worryingly watches as Izuku opens his door
Izuku gave a cheerful smile reassuring her of their worries
Inko began to cry "Oh my baby!"
———————————————————————
The night I open my UA acceptance letter, he finally got in touch with me again
Izuku runs towards Toshinori running through the sand of the beach. The beach he cleaned up during his training. The beach that marked the end of his old life and the start of his hero life
Toshinori smiles as he turn around to see his young student
"Hi, All Might!" Izuku yelled so loud that a couple from the other side of the beach heard the yelling
Toshinori puke some blood out "Too loud, kid!" He told Izuku
"All Might here?" A man said
"No way! Where?" His wife was searching for All Might
"Way to blow my cover. Say it was a mistake." Toshinori whispers to Izuku
"I was just kidding! Nothing to see here!" Izuku yelled towards the couple
"Lame." The man turned back to see the ocean
"I wanted an autograph." His wife was disappointed by All Might not being here
Toshinori and Izuku sigh as they defuse the situation
Toshinori gave out his hand inviting Izuku for a high five "Congrats on getting in."
"I couldn't have done it without your help!" Izuku gave a high five
"Oh, speaking of which. I didn't tell anyone at UA that I've been training you or anything." Toshinori said
"Uh." Izuku was confused
"Really. I wasn't one of the judges, and I didn't pull any strings for ya. You earned your spot all on your own." Toshinori told Izuku reassuring Izuku that all his hard work paid off that the end
"Wow, thanks for telling me. I'm glad to hear that!" Izuku started to nerd out "I was really surprised to hear that you're now a teacher! I was wondering why you were here all of sudden. After all your agency is in Minato, Tokyo, and everyone knows-"
Izuku was cut off by Toshinori "Gettin' creepy." Toshinori started to wonder if Izuku took pictures of him sleeping by how creepy he was acting
"Oh." Izuku was kinda embarrass
"The school didn't want me telling anyone about the job until they made an official announcement. It seemed like perfect timing. An easy way to find someone new to inherit One For All." Toshinori explain to Izuku
"So that's it. He was originally planning to give it to a UA student." Izuku started to slowly doubt himself "Someone strong. Who already had a Quirk." Izuku spoke up "Your power completely wrecked my body. And all I did was jump and throw one punch. I can't control it. What do I do?"
"You'll learn to manage in time. Hoping to master it right now is like asking a baby to run a marathon. You still have to go through the process of learning how to walk." Toshinori explained
"Yeah.. wait! You knew I was gonna get wreck that badly?" Izuku yelled wondering what Toshinori was thinking
"Well... we were in a time crunch. But it turned out all right. Plus, now you know what your dealing with. Right now your Quirk is either all or nothing. Sooner or later you'll be able to adjust exactly how much power you're using." Toshinori said
Izuku gasp "I just need control?" Izuku thinks he's finally getting it
"You're overflowing with energy at the moment. With training, your body'll hold it better. Then it's yours to command." Toshinori explained
Izuku smiles but remembers why he was so eager to see Toshinori again in the first place, besides the fact he's the greatest hero "Cool, but I need to ask you about something else." Izuku pressed his fingers together
"Asked away." Toshinori gave a thumbs up
"How many people had One for all?" Izuku asked
"That's a strange question." Toshinori was taken aback by that weird question but continue none the less "Well let's see am the eighth so that makes you the ninth, so nine in total." Toshinori points at Izuku "Why did you want to know?"
"Well, you see I think I saw the past users." Izuku suddenly said without warning
Toshinori was intrigued by Izuku's words
"I saw people, 7 of them, standing right beside me, one of them look like you. And then I saw two more men and It seem like a man in a tuxedo was hurting a long hair man but when it ended the long hair man came up and said he wanted to show more but I've only used One for all once." Izuku explain his vision to Toshinori
Toshinori blankly stared at Izuku
"You don't believe me, do you! That's ok I wouldn't either." Izuku didn't think Toshinori would understand a far fetch idea
"No. I do. I saw something similar, and from my master—my predecessor—about the existence of the shades." Toshinori told Izuku
"What do you mean?" Izuku said
"I mean you just saw how One for all came to be." Toshinori vaguely explain
"Really?! I didn't understand any of it." Izuku wanted Toshinori to to give him more detail
"Well, I'll spare the details for later. Isn't it close for your bedtime?" All Might turn into his buff form "After all you need to rise and shine early for another important day of school tomorrow."
"Look, it is All Might!" The man was amazed to see All Might
"No way! Where'd he come from?" His wife felt the same way about All Might's presence
"Right now we run." All Might ran leaving Izuku in the dust
"Huh? Okay!" Izuku ran after All Might
"The torch I passed on to you is just a small flame right now. In time, it will kindled, until you wield a raging inferno. The more powerful you become, the more you'll outshine me. Eventually, I'll retire. My job completed. Hoo! Deep stuff, All Might." All Might thought to himself
———————————————————————
3 weeks later
"Izuku. You're all set?" Inko asked wanting to double check
"Yeah." Izuku answered, getting his shoes ready
"Are ya sure? You didn't just pack action figures, right?" Inko asked
"I have everything. Now I gotta go. I don't wanna be late."
"Izuku!" Inko stops Izuku
"What?" Izuku voice gave out a little angst
"I'm proud of you, son." Inko smiles
Izuku was taken aback but then smiled "I'll see you soon."
That day, I began my high school career. The acceptance rate that year was just as small as it always had been. One in 300. Four people got in because of recommendations, and 36 through the regular exams. We were split into two classes of 20 students each
———————————————————————
"Class 1‐A... 1‐A... C'mon, where is it? Ah! There!" Izuku found his class "Man, this thing is huge. Are there giants here? The most promising students in the country are waiting behind this door." Izuku gasps at the possibility that Katsuki or that blue hair kid got in but then shrugs it off "Maybe we're in different classes. Maybe everyone in here is nice." Izuku hopefully thought
"Take your feet off of that desk now!" Tenya commanded but he looked a bit different from his canon appearance. His elbows maybe?
"Huh?" Katsuki said
"It's the first day and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin!" Tenya couldn't believe the disrespect Katsuki was displaying
"You're kidding me, right? Your old school put a stick up your ass? Or were you born with it?" Katsuki barked as usual
"Just my luck." Izuku felt like the universe decided to go against his word
"Uh‐‐ Let's start over. I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy." Tenya tries to be friendly
"Somei, huh? So you must think you're better than me. I'm gonna have fun tearin' you a new one." Katsuki threatens
Tenya gasps "You would threaten me? Your classmate? Are you sure you're in the right place?"
"Ha!" Katsuki laughs
"Huh? It's him." Tenya stared at Izuku after noticing his presence
The class began to murmur at Izuku's presence
Izuku feeling kinda uncomfortable by the attention "Uh, hi."
"Good morning! My name is Tenya Iida fro‐‐" Tenya tries to introduce himself but was cut off
"Yeah, I‐I know. I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's super nice to meet you." Izuku lied
"Midoriya. You realized that there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you?" Iida said
"Huh?" Izuku didn't understand
"You must be very perceptive. And I completely misjudged you, I admit. As a student, you're far superior to me." Tenya apologize
"Um. I find that hard to believe." Izuku scratches his head
"Hey! I recognize that messed‐up hair! Falling boy!" Ochako recognizes Izuku
Izuku was a little excited but mostly nervous to hear Ochako again
"Oh my gosh, it's that nice girl who talked to me! She looks good in that uniform." Izuku analyzed Ochako's UA uniform head to toe. If he wasn't so cute many people would call him out on this and think he's a creep
"That punch was amazing!" She complemented reminding Izuku on how he destroyed the zero-pointer
"Oh, hey, hi! Oh my gosh! So, uh, I should probably be thanking you for going in and talking to him." Izuku thanks her for talking to President Mic and trying to help him get in UA
"Huh? How'd you know about that?" Ochako asked knowing exactly what Izuku is talking about
"Oh, I‐‐ Um‐‐ What?" Izuku stutters trying to think how he so explain it to her
While this was going on Katsuki was watching the whole thing. He remembers the first thing he did when he heard about Izuku getting into UA a few weeks ago
———————————————————————
"I can't believe we have not one, but two students from our school heading off to UA! And to think, you're one of them, Midoriya. It's a miracle." The Teacher complemented
Later around the back of the school, Katsuki pushed Izuku against a wall
"What'd you do to pass the exam? You must've cheated somehow, right? I'm supposed to be the first and only student from this crappy school to get into UA, but you had to go and screw that all up. I warned you not to apply!" Katsuki grabbed Izuku's collar
"Kacchan." Izuku grabs Katsuki's hand "Someone I look up to told me that I can become a hero. That's why I applied. That's why I'm going."
"Huh?" Katsuki grunts, surprise by Izuku's sudden backbone
"Like it or not, you can't stop me." Izuku yelled with such determination it was drilled to Katsuki's head that Izuku wasn't going to back down now
———————————————————————
Back to reality
"I'm gonna ruin that little bastard. Right after I figure out how he got in." Katsuki's hands started to spark a little
"What do you think we're doing today besides orientation? I wonder what out teachers are like. I can't wait to meet everybody!" Ochako could barely hold in her excitement on how her first year of UA would be like while Izuku was flustered since this is the closest a girl had gotta near him
"If you're just here to make friends then you can pack up your stuff and leave." A very depressed voice said
The three students were startled by the sudden presence of a sleeping bag
"Welcome to UA's hero course." The man crawl out of his sleeping bag
"What is that thing?" The three students questions
"It took eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." The man was disappointed by the lack of discipline of his new students
"Who is this guy?" If he's here, then he must be some kinda pro. But he looks so worn out. What's his deal?" Izuku analyzed the man appearance
"Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa. Your teacher."
"Our teacher?" Izuku and the rest of the class couldn't believe this homeless person is their teacher
"Right, let's get to it." Shota pull out a UA gym clothes "Put these on and head outside."
The students were confuse by Shota's request
———————————————————————
Just like in canon Shota had the students test their potential by giving them an Apprehension test
"Anything goes, just don't step over the line. Go on you're wasting your time." Shota wanted Katsuki to finish up quickly
Katsuki took his shoes off and grabbed the ball ready to blow it to smithereens "All right, man, you asked for it." Katsuki places his foot down and it started to spark "I'll add a little heat to my pitch and drop their jaws."
"Die!" Katsuki growls as he blasted straight up into the sky like a raging rocket and threw the ball out of everyone's view
"Oh, whoa." Izuku was scared by Katsuki's power but the viewers may ask questions on how Katsuki was able to use his feet to ignite an explosion
"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." The ball land and Shota was able to get a read on the distance "It's most rational way in figuring out your potential as a pro hero." Shota pulled out his phone to show everyone Katsuki's score of 1045.4 meters
The class gasp at amazement of Katsuki's feat
"Whoa, 1045 mets, are you kidding me?" Denki was intimidated by the competition
"I wanna go! That looks like fun!" Mina was excited at the idea of using her freely quirk
"This is what I'm talking about, using our Quirks as much as we want!" Sero shared the same feelings as Mina
"So this looks fun, huh?" Shota didn't like the students chill reactions "You have three years here to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and play time?" Shota smiles "Idiots. Today, you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately."
Students gasp at the consequences of failure but the student who was worry the most was our protagonist
"Immediate expulsion? Eight tests? Oh, crap. Not good." Izuku pants looking at his hand wondering what could he do to pass "I can only use One For All at either zero or 100 percent right now. I don't have any control yet."
"Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs. Understand?" Shota wanted the students to understand what their dealing with now "If that's a problem, you can head home right now."
"A huge test on the first day of school? What the crap am I gonna do?" Izuku knew he didn't stand a chance but then jolted as he heard a female voice speak up
"You can't send one of us home! I mean, we just got here! Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!" Ochako tried to argue
"Oh, and you think natural disasters are?" Shota had none of it "Or power‐hungry villains? Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next three years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So, go beyond. Plus Ultra‐style. Show me it's no mistake that you're here." Shota wanted the students to show what they're made out of
"I don't approve of this kind of hazing, but UA's the top hero program. I have no choice." Iida sips some orange juice fueling himself
"Time to blow these nerds away." Katsuki was ready to show them who's number one
"Now then. We're just wasting time by talking. Let the games begin." Shota smiles
———————————————————————
Now finally let's get ready for the most excited part: The student's Quirks
Test 1: 50 meters dash
"Runners, on your marks. Ready‐‐" The machine said before the gun was shot signaling the racers to go
Iida activated his engines on his legs and elbow to blast ahead of best girl
"2.22 seconds." The machine measured Iida's speed as he pass through
"At 50 meters, I can barely get pass 4th gear."
Tenya Iida, his Quirk: Engine! As you can see just like in canon he retains his leg engines but now he have engines on his elbows just like his older brother! Increasing his speed by 50%
"Well, he's definitely in his element, but speed won't help him in every test." Shota watches Tsuyu get the same score as in canon
Now it was Mashirao's and Ochako's turn
"I'll lighten up my clothes. Oh, and my shoes, too!" Ochako use her quirk on her clothes
"Get set‐‐" A gunshot is heard and both students ran to the finish line
Ochaco Uraraka, her Quirk: Gravity! She can nullify or increase the gravitational pull of anything she touches. But if she uses her power too much, she totally hurls!
"Five point four nine seconds." The machine measured Mashirao's speed as he pull ahead of Ochako "Seven point one five seconds." It measured Ochako's speed
"Well, at least that's faster than junior high!" Ochako tried to see the bright side of her low score
—————————————————————————
Yuga's and Mina's turn go the same as in canon
—————————————————————————
"Testing the upper limits of their powers helps me assess their room for growth. It becomes clear what they can and can't do. Their true potential." Shota turn to see that it's the two rivals turn to race
"Runners, on your marks." The two rivals brace their legs and were ready to go when the gunshot go off "Ready‐‐" gunshot is heard
"Sometimes, pros have to be creative in order to succeed."
"Burst speed!" Katsuki literally blast through the test with little to no difficulty using the his explosive to push him forward
"3.09 seconds." The machine measured Katsuki' speed
Katsuki Bakugo, his Quirk: Explosion! He can ignite explosions not just in his palms but all around his body.
"Seven point zero two seconds." The machine measured Izuku's slow speed
"My power has more uses than anyone else's in this school." Katsuki was sure he was the top dog here. He turns to see Izuku panting from his run "Pathetic."
Izuku is panicking wondering how he's going to pass all these tests since his quirk is all or nothing, however he work up the courage and was determined to still pass no matter what
———————————————————————
Test 2: Grip Strength Test
"Okay keep the egg from blowing up" Izuku concentrated trying not to repeat the same mistake he made on the entrance exam. He gripped hard on the device to see he only scored 56kg
"Wow!" Izuku heard tape boy's voice and turn to see what was so impressive
"You hit 560 kilograms? You're such a beast!" Hanta complemented Mezo on his achievement
"Yeah, like a muscle‐y octopus." Minoru said
Izuku looked at his grip device sadden by his low score. Izuku notice that Fumikage's shadow bird thingy transform into a giant hand.
The big shadow hand was able to get a pretty high score, it still didn't beat Mezo's score but it did made Izuku to grow more frustrated
Fumikage Tokoyami, his Quirk: Shape Shadow! In just it base Fumikage's shadow is a bird like him but it can shape and morph into anything Fumikage needs
———————————————————————
Test 3: Standing long jump
Rikido chugs a pack of sugar and beefed up. He jumped over the pit with zero difficulty
Rikido Sato, his Quirk: Sugar Rush! Just like it canon he can increase his strength but he can also increase his speed
It was Denki turn. Denki decided to take a page from Katsuki's book and use his electricity to give him a slight boost in distance
"What the hell was that!" Katsuki screamed like a demon when he saw Denki copy his move
"Uh, sorry!" Denki apologize to Katsuki
Denki Kaminari, his Quirk: Electrical Manipulation! Can completely control his electrical range and power output and can even manipulate other electrical powers
Izuku tried to jump over the pit but grunts as he fell
———————————————————————-
Izuku still failed at Test 4. The final test was the ball throw test. Just like in canon Shota threatened Izuku with expulsion if he can't throw the ball without breaking his arm so Izuku throws the ball only breaking his finger. Shota reveals he was just lying and shows the students their score
Izuku was sent to the nurse's office to heal and later went to the train station with Tenya and Ochako and the next day was pretty normal until...
———————————————————————
"I am here! Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might bust into the room in a very hero fashion
"I can't believe it's All Might!" Denki yelled in seeing All Might in the flesh
"So he is a teacher! This year is gonna be awesome!" Eijiro could only imagine the type of training they could with the number one hero
"Hey, look. Is he wearing his Silver Age costume?" Tsuyu pointed out
"I'm getting goose‐bumps. It's so retro!" Mashirao said
"Welcome to the most important class at UA High. Think of it as "Hero‐ing 101." Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro. And what it means to fight in the name of good! Let's get into it. Today's lesson will pull no punches!" All Might yelled revealing a board with the words "Combat exercise"
"Fight training." Bakugo smiles seeing this as a chance to get back at Izuku
"Real combat?" Izuku was scared knowing Katsuki will take advantage of this to go straight for him
"But one of the keys of being a hero is...looking good! These were designed for you based on your Quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started." All Might pushes a button revealing suit cases
The class cheered
"Get yourselves suited up, and then meet me at Training Ground Beta!" All Might commanded
"Yes, sir!" The class yelled
———————————————————————
The students are all in their hero costumes waiting for All Might's instructions
All Might have decided with a Heroes vs Villains training
All the students have the same pair and have to fight the same people as in canon
———————————————————————
"Even though this is training, it pains me to be aligned with criminal behavior." Tenya looks at the bomb "So this is the weapon we must protect. Fake, of course."
"Hey!" Bakugo yelled out
"Hm?" Tenya turned around
"Do you think Deku has a Quirk?" Katsuki questions wanting to know what he saw in apprehension test was just a dream or not
"You saw how he threw that ball. Though I think his power hurts his body." Tenya stated
"Tch." Bakugo grunts
"Why is it that you seem to be especially angry when it comes to Midoriya?" Tenya questions
"Was he seriously just tricking me all these years? I'm gonna roast that damn nerd today!" Bakugo was ready to kill Izuku even if it means paying for his damn funeral
———————————————————————
"Pay attention, kids. Think about what you would do." All Might said "Young Midoriya! In this class, you're just another student. I'll grade you as I would anyone else. Without playing favorites." All Might wanted Izuku to know that his soon to be hard work was done by him and no one else
———————————————————————
Both Izuku and Ochako sneak their way into a window. The metal floor made a lot of banging noises making quite difficult to use stealth
"And just like that, we're in." Ochako whispers
"Careful, there are a lot of blind spots." Izuku warns
Both the "heroes" walk through the hallway and also checking if there is anyone near them
"I still have no control over One For All. But since it's Kacchan I'll have no choice but to use it."
Izuku then second guess himself "But Ochako's Quirk is really good so we can maybe just use that without me breaking my bones. I took a lot of notes in indoor battles and tight spaces." Izuku stops to look around the corner to see if anyone's there. When there's no one he signals Ochako to keep moving" We can (probably) do this!"
Izuku gasps as Katsuki jumps out of the corner and unleashes a huge explosion . Izuku and Ochako dodges just in time but Katsuki was able to grab Izuku's mask
The force of Katsuki's blast was so strong it separated Ochako and Izuku to the opposite side of the hallway
"Uraraka, are you okay?" Izuku yelled from the other side of the hallway wanting to know Ochako's status
"I'm fine. Thanks! Oh! Deku!" Ochako was worried about Izuku when she saw him
Izuku touch his face realizing that Katsuki grabbed his mask "It's just my mask." Izuku turn to see Katsuki coming out of the smoke
Katsuki swipe the smoke away from his face "What's the matter, Deku? Afraid to stand up and fight me?" Katsuki gave out a disgruntle fown
"I knew you'd come at me first. And figured you'd try to catch me by surprise." Izuku predicted this would happen
———————————————————————
"He almost got the jump on them." Minoru said
"Sneak attack, Bakugo? What kinda man pulls cheap crap like that?" Eijiro commented
"It's a viable strategy. He's playing the part. Acting as a true villain would." all Might said
"It didn't work. Midoriya dodged him!" Mina said
"Look, there he goes!" Denki said
————————————————————————that
"I won't hurt you so bad they'll have to stop the fight. Just close!" Katsuki tries to punch Izuku but the green hero grabbed his arm
"Wow! Look at those moves!" Ochako commented
Izuku sweeps Katsuki's legs and slams him onto the ground.
"Impossible. How'd he know? He's not that good!" Katsuki could've use his legs to propelled himself forward and tripped Izuku but he wasn't prepare for Izuku to pull a move like that
"Kacchan. You always use a big right hook to start a fight. I know because I've watched you for years." Izuku spoke up
"Huh?" Katsuki looks behind him
"I analyzed every amazing hero, even you. I wanted to learn everything I could about them. It was all in the notebook you burned and threw away."
Katsuki growls
"You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same helpless, defenseless kid anymore! Do you hear me? I've changed. From now on, Deku is the name of a hero!" Izuku yelled, rising his fists near his chest signaling his determination to fight
"Deku." Katsuki disgruntled said as he stands up
Izuku yelps. His mind tells him to run away but his body told him to stay and fight
"You're shaking in your boots, you're so scared." Katsuki creates some small sparks of explosions "But you wanna fight me anyway. That's why I hate you!" He yelled with such annoyance
Izuku and Katsuki squared up ready to fight and show their determination to win this trial
———————————————————————
"Bakugo! Come in! Give me a status report. Where are you?" Tenya said in through his earpiece
"Just shut up and defend the weapon. I've got more important things to worry about." Katsuki replied
"Are you forgetting what our mission is?" Katsuki hangs up on Tenya "Hello? He hung up on me! This isn't the time for the radio silence. We're supposed to be partners. Argh!" Iida was furious with Katsuki's lack of cooperation
———————————————————————
"Hey, who's Bakugo talking to? I'm not hearing anything. Can we get any sound with this video?" Kirishima questions
"He's got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner. I gave it to him before the match started. Along with a map of the building. Also, this." All Might reveal a roll of capture tape "A roll of capture tape! Wrapping this around your opponent means you've apprehended them, and they're out for the rest of the game." All Might explained
"So, there's a 15‐minute time limit, and the good guys have no idea what floor the nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?" Mina asked
"Correct!" All Might answered
"Then the heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here. A big one!" Mina pointed out
"Real Pros have to outwit villains daily. That's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor, we fight!" All Might raises his fist in the air "All together!"
"Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" Everyone yelled
"Monsieur. He's on the move." Yuga said
"Hm?" All Might turns to look at the screen
——————————————————————————
Katsuki's hands and feet start to spark up and as a speeding bullet launches at Izuku twisting around and kicking Izuku as the side slamming him into the ground
Izuku grunts "Ochako go without me!" Izuku yelled
"But- ok." Ochako wanted to help but decided not to go against Izuku's word
Ochako ran away
"Ballsy move. Think you can take me alone?" Katsuki notices Izuku doing something "He's using the capture tape!"
"Hero notebook number ten, page 18! Luckily, I got to see Eraser Head's moves in action! What'll Kacchan do now? Knowing him, he'll be impatient and try another big punch!"
Blinded by rage Katsuki used the sweat on his back to push him fowards to deliver a devastating explosive punch but Izuku dodged out the way leaving Katsuki's hand stuck in the wall
"I was right!" Izuku was pretty proud of himself that he predicted that
————————————————————————
"The little guy's good!" Rikido said
"He's holding his own and he hasn't even used his Quirk yet!" Sero said
"Not surprising. He's always been pretty good at taking action in crises." All Might remembers when he read through Izuku's notebook without his permission "Plus, he spent years taking notes on different heroes. He internalized everything he learned. Those lessons are in his blood now. That fanboy knowledge is paying off! And driving him forward!"
———————————————————————
Katsuki tries to use explosions to perform a powerful kick but Izuku dodges
"He kicked first this time. He's switching things up so I can't predict his moves. Does that mean he's worried?" Izuku was impressed by the fact he actually making someone like Katsuki worry, something he thought he'll never do
Izuku ran away from Katsuki. He turn around at the corner disappearing fro Katsuki's sight
"Get back here, Deku!" Katsuki growls as he run after Izuku
"I'm not gonna be able to fight him at the close range now. I need some kind of plan!" Izuku tries to think of a plan
Katsuki looks at every hallway and keeps getting lost and confuse and then stops "Dammit! You were tricking me for years by acting weak. Bet you've been laughing behind my back, huh?"
Izuku hears Katsuki's screams through the hallway
"So where's that flashy power a' yours now?" Katsuki growls "Let's see how it compares to mine. Quirk or no, you'll never beat me, Deku!"
———————————————————————
"That guy has some real anger issues. Kinda scary..." Denki was glad he didn't have to fight him
"Midoriya told me that Young Bakugo thinks very highly of himself. But this level of pride is something else. It may end up being his demise." All Might was worried how he going to deal with this problem in the future
———————————————————————
Izuku pants as he rest "Good, he's completely forgotten about my partner. Just like I thought. If they wanted to send someone out to stop us here, it should've been Iida. He's way faster, after all. That probably means Kacchan's gone rogue. The two of them aren't working together as a team. If we had to take those two on head‐to‐head, our chances of winning would be pretty low. They've got such strong Quirks. I can't go after the weapon right now or Kacchan will follow me. And if we both tried to take him down, we'd probably run out of time. So we stay split up for now. I have to trust Uraraka. She'll find the weapon and Iida, and then I'll join her for a two‐on‐one fight. That's how we'll win. I'll just have to capture Kacchan down here. On my own. I can do it. As long as I don't get too close to his hands." Izuku had his plan all set
"Stop hiding!" Katsuki yelled from a distance
Izuku yelps a little hearing Katsuki voice's echo through the hallways
"Come out and face me, you coward!" Katsuki continues
"By the way. I've been meaning to tell you, Kacchan. I take back everything I said." Izuku remembers all the time Katsuki bullied him
Katsuki is searching the hallways looking for Izuku "He's just a little bug." Katsuki had flashbacks when they were kids "I was just fine on my own, Deku." Katsuki remembers when Izuku tried to help him out of the water. At thay moment Katsuki was insulted. Did Izuku think he was weak? In need of help? "I didn't need your stupid help! But you looked at me like I was some kinda weakling. Like you! But I'm not! I'm so much better than you are!"
———————————————————————
Meanwhile, Ochako was able to find the bomb and see that Tenya was guarding it
But she gave away her hiding place when she couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous Tenya was by pretending to be a villain
"Um, Deku?" Ochako spoke through the earpiece
"I'm here. How's it going?" Izuku wanted to know the status of her situation
"Iida knows that I'm here. Sorry. Right now he's monologuing." Ochako gave info to Izuku
"Where are you?" Izuku questions
"Near the middle of the fifth floor." Ochako answered
"Right above me! We probably don't have much time left, now. We have to finish this fast or they win! I won't give up yet. I can capture Kacchan. I won't lose!" Izuku said, griping his capture tape
Izuku hear a ding and look behind him to see Katsuki
"I'm all loaded up." Katsuki lifted his gauntlet
"What does that mean?" Izuku questions
"Why aren't you using your fancy Quirk? Don't tell me you're underestimating me, Deku. Get over here and show me what you're made of." Katsuki smiles
"I have no choice. I have to face him. Right now!" Izuku prepares his capture tape "Kacchan. I'm not scared of you anymore!"
Katsuki growls "Heh. Since you're such a stalker, by now you probably know how my Quirk, Explosion, works. I can secrete nitroglycerin‐like sweat from my hands and make it blow up. Imagine what I could do if I had a lot of it. That's right, these gauntlets aren't just for show. They've been storing up my sweat inside for one monster blast." Katsuki slowly pull the pin as he point at Izuku
———————————————————————
"No, he's going too far!" If a explosion like that were to be set off the entire building would collapse "Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!" All Might yelled at Katsuki through the loudspeakers
———————————————————————
"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!" Katsuki pulls the pin unleashing a devastating explosion
"Damn it!" Izuku uses One for all in his finger to release an equally powerful wind pressure
———————————————————————
Everyone from Ochako and Tenya to All Might and the students can feel the powerful forces colliding with each other
"Whoa, whoa! This's nuts!" Eijiro said
"Come in! Come in, Midoriya!" All Might is now yelling into the intercoms
———————————————————————
Izuku grunts getting up from his knees "Is that even allowed?"
Katsuki laughs "These are awesome. The more nitro sweat that's stored in these gauntlets, the stronger the explosion is. Go ahead. Use your stupid Quirk on me, Deku. Even if you give me everything you've got, you'll never beat me." Katsuki yelled
———————————————————————
While this battle was happening Ochako tries to touch the bomb but Tenya keeps grabbing it and moving it away from her
———————————————————————
"What's the matter? You look scared. You dodged the attack, so you can still fight, can't you? Come and get me." Katsuki said, waiting for Izuku's attack
"The gauntlets make it so he can use his powers at long range. I'm not safe, even if I stay away from him. So what do I do?" Izuku got an idea "I got it! It's risky but if done right.." Izuku checks his earpiece "Come in, what's the situation?"
"It's not good!" Ochako reported as she tried to grab the bomb
Katsuki got angry "Are you ignoring me again? I'll get your attention."
———————————————————————
"Sir, isn't this getting outta hand? That Bakugo is acting crazy. He's gonna kill 'im!" Eijiro said
"Not so." All Might said "Despite his fierce posturing, he's not trying to kill Midoriya. But still..." All Might spoke through the intercoms "Bakugo. Use that stored‐up power again and I'll stop this fight. Your team will lose." All Might told Katsuki
"Huh?" Katsuki didn't understand
"To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points." All Might explained "I know that as a teacher, I should stop this right now. But..." All Might looked at Izuku. He made the decision to let Izuku handle this on his own
———————————————————————
Katsuki growls. He's mad that he can't use his ultimate attack again
Izuku is still talking to Ochako "The pillar by the window. Get there now!" Izuku looked at Katsuki's direction and see the blonde bomber coming after him
"We'll fight hand‐to‐hand" Katsuki blast himself towards Izuku
"It's no good. I can't dodge this! I'll have to counterattack! Like this!"
Izuku tries to use One for all in his other finger but Katsuki notice this and uses his feet explosions to use it as a smokescreen and change trajectory to blast Izuku's back with a double explosion
———————————————————————
The students gasp at the move Katsuki pulled
"What was that move?" Eijiro said
"He doesn't come off as a guy with a strategy. But he's quite intelligent." Shoto spoke up.
This Shoto's appearance is quite different from the Canon Shoto's appearance. His costume only cover his the red part of his hair and his scar instead covering the entirety of his left side
"What're you talkin' about?" Mina questions
"He changed his trajectory while in midair using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever." Shoto complimented
"A feint attack like that requires an extreme amount of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his Quirk." Momo explained Katsuki's move
"Ugh, Bakugo is uber-talented. I hate it." Denki was very jealous of Katsuki's skill
———————————————————————
Izuku grunts from the burning sensation
"Here it comes, nerd! The famous right hook you were whining about!" Katsuki gave a aggressive right hook hurting Izuku's arm. The sound from the attack echoes through the room
"Deku!" Katsuki grabs Izuku's arm and uses his explosions to spin around and slam him to the ground "Don't you ever forget what you are! You're a weakling!"
Izuku groans "He's not giving me time to use my strategy. But I need to use it now! He's too good."
———————————————————————
"This is hard to watch! All he has to do is wrap the tape around him, not kill him." Mina said
"Bakugo's certainly acting like a villain." Fumikage said
"I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing at the start of the fight, but he's completely outmatched in terms of combat power. Not to mention, Bakugo seems like a natural at all this stuff." Denki said
"I should end this. But‐‐" All Might looked at Izuku "For his sake, I'll let it go on." All Might clutched his teeth wondering if this is a good idea or not
———————————————————————
Izuku crawls away from Katsuki
———————————————————————
"He's running away!" Mina said
"Not very manly, but he doesn't have a choice. He's outgunned. Unless he's got some kinda plan. It's possible..." Eijiro said
———————————————————————
Izuku pants as he gets corner by Katsuki
"Why won't you use your damn Quirk against me? Still think you can stop me without it?" Katsuki yelled
Izuku lowers his head "That's not it."
"You've been hiding your true power for years. What's the deal, Deku? Did you think you were better than me this entire time?" Katsuki questions
"That's what you think?" Izuku had a flashback when they were little "You idiot. You've always been stronger, Kacchan. I know that you're better than me." Izuku admit it all to Katsuki
Katsuki grunts, he wonders if Izuku is joking or not
"Can't you see? That's why I wanna beat you. Because you're amazing!" Izuku grabs his capture tape
"You're even more of an idiot than I realized. Come at me!" Katsuki yelled
Both the students jump at each other, ready to attack each other
———————————————————————
"The only other time I hear that much passion in his voice is when he talks about being a hero. To achieve his dream, he has to do this. Not for me, but himself!" All Might admires Izuku's passion
———————————————————————
Izuku uses One for all in his finger while holding onto the capture tape "This here is my only chance. I'll use a small percentage in One for all in my finger to knock him out and that way he won't die from the full power then I'll wrap him in the capture tape." Izuku thought to himself
"Come on nerd!" Katsuki yelled
Katsuki was ready to unleash a full power explosion while Izuku is ready to use One for all
———————————————————————
"They're gonna kill each other! Sir!" Eijiro told All Might
"Both of you, stop‐‐!" All Might tries to say something
———————————————————————
"Uraraka, hold on to something!" Izuku yelled in the earpiece
"Right!" Ochako said holding on to a pillar
"What?" Tenya was confused about what was going on
"I can't beat you. Not in a one‐on‐one
fight like this. But I can win! Smash!" Izuku tries to perform a smash but black tendrils exploded out of Izuku's arm
"What the?" Bakugo stops in confusion and pulls his arm back
———————————————————————
"Midoriya!" All Might yelled, not knowing where those black tendrils came from
———————————————————————
A man cover in shadows gave out a excited yet confused expression "Little... brother."
"What?" A doctor turned to look at the man, he was confuse by that statement
———————————————————————
The black tendrils started to destroy everything from the inside
"Ah!" Ochako yelled dodging all the tendrils from hitting her
"Midoriya what's going on?!" Tenya yelled, as he duck and dodge all the black tend
As this is all happening Katsuki just watches the destruction
"Bastard..." Katsuki's shocked expression turns into an extremely angry one "Bastard! You have been hiding another quirk from me!"
Katsuki uses his explosion to launch himself at Izuku and tries to attack him but the Black tendrils smack him back and forth until he was laying on the floor badly beaten
"Damn..." Katsuki got up and swipe away some blood off his mouth
———————————————————————
"He looked at me and said, "The time has not yet come." All Might remembers his old master words "What "time" did he mean...?" All Might remembers the time his old master told him the dream she had about her master
"All Might!" Mina yelled
"What!?" All Might snapped back to reality
"Do something look!" Mina pointed at the screen
All Might grabbed the mic "Izuku stop what you are doing!" All Might yelled through the speakers
———————————————————————
"I can't! I can't stop! Help me!" Izuku yelled. He couldn't stop whatever this is. He wanted to stop, he didn't want to hurt anyone.
———————————————————————
"All Might you need to do-" Eijiro tries to tell All Might but it seems like All Might vanished
———————————————————————
Izuku grunts trying to keep this new power under control
"Izuku can't you stop?!" Tenya asked holding a badly injured Katsuki in his arms
"Izuku please stop." Ochako begs to Izuku and tried to get close to him using her quirk
"I can't stop! Something went wrong I don't kno-" Just then Izuku was knocked out by being slapped at the back of the head by All Might
All Might grab the unconscious Izuku "What happened kid?" All Might wanted to know what was that and how did it happened
———————————————————————
"What just happened?" Denki questions
"It seems that kid manifested something dark." Fumikage said
"It seems like such a departure from his normal power." Eijiro commented
"This battle was intense." Tsuyu said
———————————————————————
Later
"To the nurse's office." Transpo-Bot said
"I know." Another Transpo-Bot said
Both Transpo-Bots put Katsuki and Izuku into a stretcher and transport them to the nurse
"Those tendrils..." If the first quirk didn't shattered Katsuki's pride the new one surely did "That was another quirk wasn't it." Katsuki starts to tear up "Damn you Izuku."
———————————————————————
Later
Katsuki was able to get quickly patched up by Recovery Girl and returned just in time for All Might's announcement
"Well, despite the results. The MVP of this exercise is Young Iida." All Might said
The class was shocked but Iida was even more shocked on why was it him to be MVP
"Uhh!" Iida said
"But neither of the teams won." Tsuyu pointed out
"Mm! Valid statement. Why did I choose an MVP despite neither team won? Who has a guess?" All Might waited for an answer
Momo raises her hand "Sir! I can tell you why! Iida embraced this challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Bakugo's judgment was clouded by a personal grudge against Midoriya. As you pointed out earlier, launching a large‐scale attack indoors was a foolish move. It could have been disastrous. Similarly, Midoriya's plan was also poorly thought out, considering he destroyed most of the building while putting his partner and bomb in danger. Not smart. As for Uraraka... She let her guard down mid‐battle, and her final attack was far too reckless given the hypothetical stakes. If she'd treated the fake weapon as though it were real, she never would've risked using such an imprecise move. Iida was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival. He had a strategy, and never lost sight of his mission to protect the dummy weapon, even if he was foiled in the end."
Iida was happy he performance in the test was acknowledge
"Technically, neither team won, yes, because they all took advantage of the fact that this was training. They didn't respect the spirit of the trial." Momo finish her explanation
The room paused for a moment
"This girl has a good eye on her." All Might was impressed "Yes... Well, you overlooked a few things. Young Iida could have relaxed a little bit in the exercise, but... otherwise, you nailed it!" All Might gave a bug thumbs up
"One should always start with the basics and devote themselves wholeheartedly to learning. That's the only real way to become a top hero." Momo said
"Now then. Time to blow this joint. Let's move on to the next match! Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle this training for yourself." All Might said
"Yes, sir!" All the students said except for Katsuki, who has his eyes wide open in shock due to the event that transpired
———————————————————————
Later
"That's a wrap! Super work. You stepped up to the plate. And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya. You should be proud. Excellent first day of training, all around!" All Might complimented
"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class." Tsuyu remembers Shota's apprehension test "Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill."
"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks. I should go and check on Young Midoriya's progress! Now, watch how a pro exits. Like he's got somewhere to be!" All Might ran away at full speed
The students' gasp
"Okay, you guys, that is a hero!" Denki said
"Aw, I'll never be able to run that fast." Oijiro sadly said
"Super awesome!" Minoru said
"Young Bakugo is overflowing with pride." All Might looks back at Katsuki "His ego may be justified, but a school like UA is bound to shatter it. As his teacher, it's my sworn duty to counsel him well. But it'll have to wait." All Might coughs since he have reached his time limit for today
The door to the nurse's office opens and All Might quickly close the door once he enters "I can't hold this form any longer." All Might pants as he transforms back to his weakened state
"I barely have enough time to teach a class. Shit." Toshinori pants
"The second day of school and he's already a regular patient. Why didn't you stop him, All Might?" Recovery Girl complained
"You're right, Recovery Girl. I'm sorry." Toshinori apologize
"Well, it's no good apologizing to me! He's too exhausted from his classes for my Quirk. I can't treat all his injuries at once. I did some first aid, but after the IV is finished, we'll have to wait for his body to heal for a while. Come on, All Might. I know you passed your powers on to this boy, but you can't spoil him." Recovery Girl said
"I am trying not to play favorites. I wanted to consider his feelings, though. He needed to see that he was capable of winning the exercise. Oh, yeah. Also. Will you please not talk so loudly 'bout One For All when anyone around you could hear?" Toshinori shush her not wanting her big mouth yapping about One for all
"Yeah, yeah, I know, Mr. Natural‐Born Hero. Mr. Symbol of Peace." Recovery Girl turns to her computer
"Several people know about my injury and this weak form. Like the UA faculty and a certain group of pro heroes, for example. However, only a select few people know the secret of One For All. There's you, the principal, and a very close friend of mine. Young Midoriya, too, of course, but no one else knows the truth about my powers." Toshinori said
"You're the number‐one hero in the world, All Might. Does it matter if you were born with your Quirk or not? Do you have to be the "Symbol of Peace?" Is it that important?" Recovery girl questions
"If they knew I wasn't, the temptation of this power could corrupt our society. This Quirk... Those who wield it are responsible for mankind's safety." Toshinori explained
Recovery Girl sighs "Well if that's the case, it's even more important for you to be a good guide."
"You're right." Toshinori said
———————————————————————
Izuku wakes up in a black void "Again..."
"You.." A bald man showed up "You've got it wrong. Wrong!"
Izuku looked at the man
"Didn't we tell you! We said "You're not alone"! The time is ripe! It's manifested! But you know, that power isn't something you can just use without thinking anymore!" The bald man yelled at Izuku
"Is this one of the past users of One for all?!" Izuku thought
"Work harder! Do your best! If you work hard and do your best, pretty much anything will work itself out." The bald man encouraged Izuku
Izuku tries to touch his mouth
"Hey, are you missing a mouth or something? Don't worry about it!" The bald man chuckles
"I'm seeing him so clearly... he's not a vestige or anything. This isn't a dream, either. This man... These people...are living inside One for all?!" Izuku realize the possibility on what this could mean for him and All Might
The bald man looked at his hand phrasing in and out "It looks like my time's running out. All right, kid. The power you just used was my Quirk. Our Quirk factors mixed with the core of the power. The tiny core that's always been part of One for all. A tiny spot in the middle of flickering flames. Or on the surface of billowing waves. The origin of the power is wrapped in the cultivated power. Right now, it's becoming larger and starting to move. One for all itself is growing." The bald man explained what's happening to One for all
"Why? What's going to happen?!" Izuku questions
"You...Earlier, you thought "I need to capture that guy," right? You did, didn't you?" The bald man asked Izuku
"I was going to use One for all to knock Kacchan out and then capture him with my capture tape..." Izuku explained
"The quirk that works best for that is my Blackwhip. You're lucky I was the first one. This is a good quirk. But! This quirk also had the additional power cultivated in One for all and is much stronger than when I had it." The bald man felt pain "Oh no, I'm going to disappear...I feel like I'm about to drift away...Because that's left of me is my spirit...Listen. If you use your power in anger, the power will react to that. What's important is controlling your heart." The bald man touch where Izuku's heart should be "It's fine to get mad. Anger is the source of power. But that's why you need to control it carefully. After going through eight people, One for all has become extremely strong. Listen, kid. You'll have six more Quirks manifest in you. Control your heart and master using all of us! Do your best, kid! We're with you! You're the one who will complete One for all!" The bald man phase away
———————————————————————
Izuku wakes up to see the time on the clock "It's... late afternoon?"
"Rise and shine, sonny." Recovery girl said
Izuku gasps startled by Recovery girl's sudden presence
———————————————————————
Izuku is walking back to his class
"Now that you fully heal you can go back to class." Izuku remembers what Recovery girl told him not too long ago
"I missed all my afternoon classes. Mr. Aizawa's probably gonna choke me with his scarf."
Izuku open the 1-A class door
"Hey, it's Midoriya!" Eijiro smiles "Good to see ya back, super!"
The class walk up to Izuku
"Ha! Man, you were pretty scary during that match. But you were all fired up, huh?" Eijiro said
"I can't believe you held your own against Bakugo. He's super strong!" Hanta said
"You did a great job dodging!" Mina said
"You guys turned up in the first match, so none of us held back in our rounds, either!" Rikido said
"You were far from elegant, but I suppose‐‐" Yuga was cut off by Mina
"And the dodging was like, whoa!" Mina said
Izuku gasp at all the compliments
"Hey, I'm Eijiro Kirishima. We've been goin' overtraining results while you were in recovery."
"Hi. I'm Hanta Sero."
"More importantly, I'm Yuga Ao‐‐"
"I'm Mina Ashido! And I just gotta say, your dodging was awesome!"
"Tsuyu Asui. But please, call me "Tsu."
"Hey, Sato."
"Um. Hey, guys." Izuku said
"And my name's Mineta!"
"Where the heck did you pop out of?" Eijiro questions
"UA's shiniest star here‐‐" Yuga said
"You might sparkle, but you sucked it up in training." Rikido insults Yuga
"So noisy." Fumikage said
"Tokoyami! Stop using that desk as a chair! Get off of it this instant!" Tenya yelled
"Dude, you need to chill." Kyoka said
"Uh‐‐" Tenya pause
"You're carrying a lot of tension." Mashirao said
"No one understands. I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks. Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen, once used them!" Tenya yelled
"Also noisy." Fumikage said
"Iida never relaxes, does he?" Izuku thought to himself
The doors of the class open and Denki and Ochako are walking in, holding a stack of books
"So, anyway, wanna grab a bite sometime? Kinda stuff you like?"
"Anything sweet..." Ochako notices Izuku "Hey, Deku! Are you ok?"
"Oh. Uh... Yeah, Recovery Girl did a real good job patching me up" Izuku said
"That good to hear." Ochako smiles
Izuku stood quiet seeing that Katsuki's desk is empty
"Um, Uraraka. Where's Kacchan?" Izuku asked
———————————————————————
Izuku pants as he runs through the school
"We tried to stop him from leaving. But he wouldn't listen. You just missed him." Izuku remembers what Ochako just told him seconds before
"Dammit! You were tricking me for years by acting weak. Bet you've been laughing behind my back, huh? So where's that flashy power a' yours now?" Izuku remembers all the words Katsuki said to him during the battle training
Izuku sees Katsuki walking out to the gate "Kacchan!" Izuku runs towards him "Wait up!"
"What?" Katsuki stops
Izuku stops and slightly lowers his head "I haven't told anyone this secret. Not even my mom." Izuku was trying to choose his words carefully "I have to tell you something. Maybe then, you'll understand what's been going on. I wasn't hiding my Quirk from you. It was given to me by someone else. Recently."
Katsuki grunts being piss off by this obvious lie
"But I can't tell you who I got it from, so don't ask! Sounds crazy, I know. It's like something out of a comic book. Only, it's real. The thing is, I don't have any control over this power yet. And things are happening to it that never happened before. I haven't figured out how to make it my own, but I'm trying. That's why... I didn't wanna use it against you in the exercise. But in the end, it was the only way that I had a chance of winning. I've still got a lot to learn. I know that. That's why I'm here. You'll see. I'll work until I have full control of this borrowed Quirk. And I'll finally beat you with my power!" Izuku explained
Izuku looks up and gasps realizing he said too much "Oh, crap, what am I saying? I only meant to tell him that I wasn't tricking him!"
"How dumb do you think I am? "Borrowed power"? Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. You already made a fool outta me in that damn training exercise. So? Did you come here to rub it in? I was beaten. And to make matters worse, it was to you. I came in first in the exam, but that's not enough. When I was watching that ice guy, I realized I couldn't beat him in a head‐to‐head fight. Crap! I even agreed with what that girl said. My attack was so stupid! Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Katsuki started to tear up "Enjoy that win, Deku. You won't get another! I'm just getting started! Got that?! I'm gonna end up the number‐one hero, no matter what!" Katsuki turns around wiping his tears away "You'll never beat me again, you bastard. Don't even try."
Izuku sighs
"There you are!" All Might sprint past Izuku grab to Katsuki's shoulders "Bakugo! I found you! Just so you know, pride is an important attribute to have. But while you certainly have the abilities to become a pro hero, there's still plenty you have to learn!"
"Let go of me, All Might. Right now." Katsuki said
"Hm?"
"Save your speeches. I'll be more famous than you, and I'll do it without your help." Katsuki said
All Might lets go of Katsuki "Uh‐‐ Uh... Right. I guess he's already over it."
"Man. Being a teacher is hard." All Might thought to himself
Meanwhile, three girls were watching the whole event
"Huh, I wonder what that was all about." Mina said
"The fated battle between rivals." Ochako said
"Whatever Midoriya was saying, it looked like Bakugo wanted to punch him." Tsuyu said
"Childhood friends turned enemies!" Ochako said
Back to Izuku
"Kacchan's fuse has been lit. There's a fire under him. But that doesn't change what I have to do. I'll keep chasing after him." Izuku knew this isn't over
"Midoriya! What were you saying to Bakugo before I arrived so heroically?" All Might asked
"Ah! Oh, nothing special." Izuku stutters
"Hmm. I'm so curious. Why don't you tell me all the juicy details?" All Might wanted to know
"Um, actually, I kinda need you to tell you something else" Izuku said

Later
Toshinori pours Izuku a cup of tea
"A previous wielder's quirk...One for all itself is growing, huh? Have you been able to activate that quirk again?" Toshinori asked
"No. I haven't tried yet." Izuku said "Did you know about this quirk that came out?" Izuku asked
"It's my first time hearing about him too. A wielder with a shaved head... I heard that the wielder before my master was a young man with black hair. I don't think she knew that One for all also had the Quirks of previous wielders." Toshinori explained
"So am the first." Izuku looked at his hand
"There was something that triggered it right?" Toshinori asked
"No, not at all... But he did say "The time is ripe". There might be some kind of external connection." Izuku pointed out
"Well, It seems we have to learn how to trigger it again and train it to prevent something like that from happening again." Toshinori sipped his tea "But sadly for now it's time for you to head home. But remember this. Don't tell anyone about One for all like you told Young Bakugo, it's a good thing he didn't take you seriously, so I don't think he'll say anything. Just make sure that doesn't happen again. If word got out that One for all can be passed on, villains across the globe would hunt you down, trying to take it. You must keep this secret to ensure your wellbeing and also for the safety of the world."
"Yes, I understand." Izuku grabs his backpack and heads home
As Izuku closes the door, Toshinori sat there in silence and with a worried look
"Could...Could this have something to do with All for one?" This thought haunted Toshinori
