Important notes before reading:
I deeply apologize for the mistakes I have made in the previous readings. The cause of this is that I did not have time to analyze them because I was full of studies until dawn, but I have already corrected the readings. Now I guarantee you that before I upload a chapter, I will find out if there are any errors.
You can ask me any questions you want about my alternate history of Boku no Hero Academia.
Chapter 4: Revelation (Part 2)
A few minutes after the conversation, Midoriya, Bakugou, and even Shadow returned with the professional heroes and UA students. As soon as they saw Shadow, they were all alerted and prepared to attack him, but Midoriya intervenes to calm the situation.
Midoriya: Please wait! He is not our enemy!
Iida: Are you kidding? He threatened to kill us all! "Annoying"
Midoriya: I know, but all this has an explanation, so I ask you to listen to me carefully.
Shadow: I thank you, Midoriya.
Midoriya: No problem. You should already know that...
Bakugou: Hey! Hurry up! "Screaming"
Midoriya: Okay, give me a second, Kacchan.
Professional heroes and students were shocked by the horrific reality about Shadow. Immediately, the professionals asked Shadow quite a few questions. When they finished asking the questions after a few minutes, the heroes requested Midoriya's presence, while Shadow was kept watch over by other professional heroes until the heroes' talk with Midoriya concluded.
One minute before the heroes requested Midoriya's presence.
Midoriya: Can I talk to him?
Hero: Don't delay, son.
Midoriya: Thank you.
Hero: Just go and talk to your friend quickly because I remind you that your job is to help evacuate civilians, boy.
Midoriya: Are you okay? "Walking towards Shadow"
Shadow: Yes, for now.
Midoriya: Even though everything you experienced was false, they should have given you a real name. Excuse me if I didn't ask you before, what is your...?
Shadow: Ikuto... Ikuto Midoriya.
Midoriya: Eehhhhh? "Surprised"
Shadow: What are you surprised about? The insane old man knew what your last name was.
Midoriya: Oh! ¡You're right!
Uraraka: Hey, Deku, professional heroes require your presence.
Midoriya: Okay.
Shadow: Deku? What is Deku?
Midoriya: Deku is my heroic name.
Shadow: Really? Couldn't you think of something better?
Midoriya: Ehh... Well... "Embarrassed"
Uraraka: Well, you'll see... Deku is a Japanese word that means: You can do it!
Shadow: I see... So, I think that name suits him. "Smiling slightly"
Midoriya: Thank you. Well, I must go with the professionals.
Shadow: Good luck.
At the conclusion of Midoriya's conversation with the heroes and surveillance which did not take long, Shadow wanted to be alone for the time being, until he saw a young heroine approaching who turned out to be a classmate of Midoriya named Tsuyu Asui.
Tsuyu: Hello.
Shadow: Ho... Hello... Hello... the. "Nervously"
Tsuyu: I see you like to be alone.
Shadow: It's not that, it's just that... Hey, wait a minute, shouldn't you help evacuate civilians?
Tsuyu: I asked the heroes to give me a moment to talk to you.
Shadow: Talk to me?
Tsuyu: Midoriya I talk about you. Really, I'm so sorry for what they did to you.
Shadow: Don't worry. "Nervously"
Tsuyu: What's your name?
Shadow: Ikuto... Ikuto Midoriya. "Nervously"
Tsuyu: Do you have the same last name as Izuku?
Shadow: Yes. Listen, I apologize for hurting you and your friends. Really, I apologize with all my might.
Tsuyu: I know that you were only being controlled by that insane scientist and that you are a clone made with Midoriya blood.
Shadow: I don't get it... So why do you approach me if you know what I am? I am a clone, not an original human. Didn't it seem strange or something like that?
Tsuyu: No, and you know why?
Shadow: What? But...
Tsuyu: Because you're as human as we are, and I'm telling you that because you cried.
Shadow: Ah… I...
Tsuyu: You have every right to live, and to go your own way.
Shadow: Are you helping me?
Tsuyu: Yes, and I do because I can't help but see someone who is in pain.
Shadow: ...
Tsuyu: Never let yourself sink from your pain by thinking that others who will treat you like a weirdo when they see that you are different, if you continue in that way, you will not be able to have a great future.
Shadow: I... I...
Tsuyu: If you want everyone who will know you to trust you, you must do everything possible to build trust with them.
Shadow: "The young man begins to be moved"
Tsuyu: And I'm sure that despite having that fake life, you must have been passionate about something... That must have been that you became a hero...
Shadow: "Looking and listening to the young woman and starting to shed tears"
Tsuyu: What's more, what would a hero do in your place?
Shadow was moved by Tsuyu's words, which reached the bottom of his heart. Which reminds him of the conversation he had with Midoriya earlier.
"Flashback"
Midoriya: Do you want to help us?
Shadow: That's right. I want to stop those guys so that no one dies.
Bakugou: Why should we trust you? Even though you've been controlled all this time, I don't trust you at all.
Shadow: Because I can be very useful to them in battle. I'm sure that...
Bakugou: Shut up, cheap copy of shit! We will send you to jail.
Shadow: What? But Midoriya said that...
Bakugou: I don't care what he...
Midoriya: Kacchan, calm down. I remind you that everything that has been done to him is horrible. I think we should...
Bakugou: Want to listen to your cheap copy?
Midoriya: Yes, because I see that he is someone who needs help, and you yourself know that he has been used all this time.
Bakugou: Damn it! You talk to him!
Midoriya: Aren't you going to...?
Bakugou: He is linked with you. It's better for you to talk to him while I just listen.
Midoriya: Okay. Listen, I know all of this has hurt you deeply, but you should know that you have now been presented with an opportunity to do the right thing, and from what I see, you want to take advantage of it. Which makes it clear to me that deep down you are a good person.
Shadow: Does that mean that... will you let me help you?
Midoriya: First, we must talk to professional heroes about you. But do not worry, I assure you that a good conclusion will be reached so that they can give you a chance to get ahead with your life.
Shadow: Thank you very much, Midoriya.
Midoriya: You're welcome. There are other things I want you to answer me.
Shadow: What are they about?
Midoriya: Even if heroes help you get ahead in your life, what exactly do you want to do?
Shadow: Well, I...
Midoriya: Do you want to be a hero? Isn't it?
Shadow: Yes... I want to be a hero. What's more, it's what I want most in my life. "Speaking confidently"
Midoriya: I can see that you are determined and that guarantees me that you will have a bright future. "Smiling"
Shadow: Absolutely. "Smiling"
Midoriya: Something that I must inform you is that you are going to face many obstacles, so you must not let yourself sink into suffering. That is, don't let these obstacles easily defeat you.
Shadow: That will be difficult, but I must be able to overcome any obstacle. "Mentally speaking with a serious look"
Midoriya: Do you understand what I'm saying?
Shadow: Of course. "Determined look"
Midoriya: Excellent. By the way, what is your quirk called?
Shadow: My quirk is called X. Although I must admit that in the fake life I had, my quirk was called One For All and I don't know why.
Midoriya and Bakugou: What did you say?! "Amazed"
Shadow: I said that in my fake life my quirk was called One For All, but we could say that my quirk X is very similar to One For All, only the difference is that the One For All did not give me a knife in each forearm and front leg and less the ability to fly.
Midoriya: You're amazing.
Shadow: Eehh...? Thank you... Why are you surprised? Isn't it natural to have a quirk?
Midoriya: Well, you'll see...
Bakugou: Hey! Nerd! You'll explain him later! We must go back!
Midoriya: Oh! It's true! Come with us, Shadow! You can consider me your friend now!
Shadow: Yes!
Midoriya: By the way, put on your mask because we don't want everyone to be alarmed when they see that you are just like me.
Shadow: ¡You're right!
Midoriya: Hey, just one last thing: don't mention anything about One For All, just say your quirk is called X.
Shadow: What? Why?
Midoriya: Just do as I say. Then I will explain you.
Shadow: Okay.
"End of flashback"
Shadow: I thank you very much. "Crying of happiness"
Tsuyu: No problem. Anything to help the innocent.
Shadow: ¡Je je! By the way, what's your name? "Wiping away tears"
Tsuyu: My name is Tsuyu Asui, but you can call me Tsuyu.
Shadow: Sure... Of course. "Nervously and blushing"
Tsuyu: Thank you. By the way, you have an interesting quirk that bears a strong resemblance to Midoriya's. What is your quirk's called?
Shadow: My quirk is called X.
Tsuyu: I see. As far as I could see, your quirk is very powerful.
Shadow: Without a doubt my quirk is strong. "Smiling"
Tsuyu: You seem to be someone we can trust.
Shadow: Thank you... Wow, I just met you and I'm starting to like you, Asui.
Tsuyu: Just call me Tsuyu.
Shadow: Ah... sure, Tsuyu. "Nervously"
Tsuyu: I like you too. "Smiling"
Shadow: Are you okay with us being friends, Tsuyu?
Tsuyu: Quiet. All those who call me Tsuyu are my friends.
Shadow: You're very kind.
Tsuyu: By the way, how can I call you?
Shadow: Ikuto... You can call me Ikuto.
Tsuyu: All right, Ikuto. "Smiling"
During the conversation between Shadow and Tsuyu, Midoriya was thinking about whether or not to leave Shadow alone while helping to evacuate civilians, even though Midoriya had good news for him, so he asked permission to go see him, only to meet him with Tsuyu.
Midoriya: Shadow! There you are!
Ikuto: Hi, Midoriya, sorry if I said I wanted to be alone, but I really needed to.
Midoriya: Neglect, I can understand your situation.
Ikuto: Well, do you have any good news?
Midoriya: Shadow, I just talked to everyone, and a conclusion has been reached.
Ikuto: What did they tell you?
Midoriya: The heroes will relay the news to the UA and then the director will make a decision.
Ikuto: Yes! "Cheerfully"
Tsuyu: Congratulations! I'm glad for you, Ikuto.
Ikuto: Thank you, Tsuyu.
Midoriya: Wait... you said Tsuyu?
Ikuto: Yes... It turns out that Tsuyu was talking to me about some things, and we've become friends.
Midoriya: Really? Very nice! "Cheerfully"
Ikuto: I think this is the first step to make my life much better. "Smiling"
Midoriya: Definitely. Well, we must move forward with the evacuation of civilians because they are moving faster and faster.
Tsuyu: You're right.
Midoriya: "Sensing something horrible"
Ikuto: What's going on? Is everything okay?
Mentally, Midoriya has a bad presentiment as he is warned by the first user of One For All about a colossal danger which would turn out to be Tomura Shigaraki.
Uraraka: Deku?
Ikuto: I notice you very tense, Midoriya. What's going on?
Midoriya: The hospital... "Alarmed"
Despite the heroes' intervention in Garaki's lab destroying Shigaraki's capsule, the young successor of All For One woke up and barely touched the ground, much of Jaku City began to turn to dust until it reached Midoriya, Ikuto and the others.
Uraraka: What's going on?
Todoroki: Evacuate the area!
Ikuto: What's that!?
Bakugou: Let everyone run!
Midoriya: Run away! "Screaming and running towards collapse"
Ikuto: Wait! I'll help you, Midoriya! "Following Midoriya"
Uraraka: Deku!
Tsuyu: Ikuto!
Midoriya: ¡One For All, Full Cowl, 45%! ¡Saint Louis Smash: Air Force! "Jumping and attacking the crumbling"
Ikuto: ¡Four Blades - X! ¡Double Canyon - X! "Activating his peculiarity and shooting towards crumbling"
