Chapter 10 : Fun weekend makes for fun times.

—Just after the Time Out—

Izuku face-planted on the ground. To be fair, he was panting since he used one arcana he was not sure he had been unsure he could use for real and he had also used a lot of energy by doing his remote summoning technique. Which was indeed very useful.

Still, he couldn't feel his body and he knew that if he wanted to keep what happened a secret from his mom and dad, he would have to pay a hefty bribe to Katsuki. Oh, he just hoped Katsuki had another toxic troll to punish.

—

"Tooru? Are you free tomorrow?" asked Katsuki, way too nicely. Katsuki, being nice, often hid something, as the class was now used to. Especially if Izuku was involved. This explained clearly why even though no one could see Tooru's face was not visible, you could see her suspecting his motive.

Meanwhile, Katsuki was doing behind his back a sign to Mina and Kyoka. Both understood his plan and grinned a lot. If it worked, they must find cameras. And disguise. Maybe enlisting Momo for the plot?

—

Afterward, it was a battered Izuku and Hanta who entered the control room first. They were followed by a Todoroki who was leaning a bit on Kaminari who was the one in the best state of all the four boys. It had been an extenuating fight and Izuku would have a hard time pointing out where he was the most hurt. Momo had the kindness of making him a tissue, so he could get the blood out of his face. Thank god, the warm liquid was not a pleasurable sensation.

Still, Izuku had a strange sensation of dread, as Katsuki hit in a brotherly fashion over Izuku's shoulder.

"I'm going to reward you for beating Icy-Hot, Izuku. You did well." Told him Katsuki, while he looked at the girls, nodding to them. He had promised them to be "kind" for a definition of kind, according to Katsuki, if Tooru agreed to go on a date on Saturday. The date is going to be with Izuku. Katsuki did not even try to hide the fact and girls quickly learned he respected women. Well, as much as anyone. If you truly wanted his respect, you offered a good fight.

None of the girls wanted to try a true fight against someone that could produce an explosion, wanted to specialize himself as a fighter hero and, according to Izuku, "had already caught flies who were flying with an uncanny accuracy before exploding it".

All-Might sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. He was understanding a lot about Aizawa and it was worrying on its own. He also had to check with Nedzu about how to deal with the Todoroki problem. Nonetheless, he was happy that his shock therapy brought a lot to light… And somehow, Todoroki had a friend, Kaminari.the extrovert had adopted the introvert and was trying to make him react now. All in all, a wonderful thing.

However, he also knew Recovery Girl would probably try to kill him soon after the kids went to see her.

Nonetheless, he ignored his soon-to-be-doom and looked at the class.

"So, which one of you can tell me who was the MVP in this…"

"Izuku" "Izuku" "Ribbit" "Green bean" "Deku" "That insane guy" "Is that a trick question and the answer is the friends we made along with the fight?" Pretty much everyone in the classroom chooses Midoriya… Who pointed out Kaminari and Hanta.

"Hey. Both of them were the most important, you know? Had Hanta failed to stop enough Kaminari and deplete him, I would have lost. In the same way, if Todoroki had brought Kaminari…"

"You would have used plan E and made him electrocute Todoroki after making the ice melt." Said Momo, while trying to think more about Izuku's actions… Who had the decency to look away? "Also, you used Todoroki's thought of you to make him rush ahead, checking nothing. No, you had the fight planned before it had even begun. It required a lot of strategic thinking."

Katsuki whistled a bit when Momo noticed that and was thankful they did not know his own plans. Most people thought he resumed his plans in "MAKE EVERYTHING EXPLODE".

They were not wrong.

"Well… I was mad at Todoroki for saying he would beat us at half strength when my quirk, well…" Izuku pointed to his nose. "I won't be able to use it for the entire weekend to be on the safe side."

"To be fair, you turned the ceiling into a small sun." Noted Iida, who was trying to make sense of Izuku's quirk. He thought he just manifested a card.

"The first time I used my power, I created a fake hero from a card, Iida. If it exists as a card, I can use it. However, the more powerful it is… Well, let's say there is a reason I use a Tarot deck rather than my collection of "Hero!" Cards."

"My family is soooo going to sponsor you." Momo then explained as her friends were staring, curious. "A Hero who needs our products to use his quirk? Who is smart, presents well, and has a flair for drama? Yes, if Izuku does well for the next tournaments, I'm certain we will sponsor him." People forget she was the heir of a conglomerate. She was not a business student, but she could have very well been one. She certainly did not forge a document from her parent's signature to switch her recommendation exam from Business course to Heroic Course.

No one could prove it.

All-Might nodded and approved everything with his trademark smile.

"New rules, since apparently your class is the first one who apparently forgot to restrain himself. I mean. If Midoriya did not put the bomb behind a door with the written 'No bomb here' post-it on the second floor, I would have failed Todoroki and Kaminari. If you make an attack that can blow more than two walls, you're out.

On a side note, Kaminari, why did you not check the door?"

"There was a post-it saying there was no bomb. Then I got attacked by duct tape."

It seemed oddly logical and Jiro looked with sympathy All-Might and quickly earjacked Kaminari out of idiocy.

After that, the fight was… Something.

To start, Jiro and Hagakure made a big mistake. While Bakugou upheld his promise and went nicely at them (no too colossal explosion and no attack of an area that could destroy the floor) everyone else forgot about Koda.

—

Later that day, in Nedzu's office.

—

"NEDZU, WHY THE HELL THERE IS A TOWN OF RATS IN THE EXERCISE ZONE!?"

"Well, you know how it is with family. You can't leave them homeless."

"Nedzu. You are neither a mouse nor a rat. I know when you're fucking with me."

"... They are my dealers in cheese."

This time, Yagi was not sure Nedzu was trolling since he looked away in shame.

—

"So, what can we conclude from this fight?"

"Never anger Koda."

"Respect the rat."

"Bakugou is someone sensible when you think about it."

"Yeah, he even tried to help the girl when the rats began to…"

Meanwhile, Izuku and Kaminari were trying to comfort respectively Tooru and Kyoka, who did not deserve the suffering. Hugs were required.

Koda was smiling while petting a rat with his rabbit. Everyone was worried about their staring contest, who ended when both decided the other was a worthy opponent.

"I… Just want a normal match." Said an All-Might who did not sign for this madness. He signed to form the new generation.

The next match was… Well, vanilla. No mass destruction. No people with a tragic backstory. Shinso had tried to hint at one, but Kyoka, between two sobs, told him

"Cut your crap, remember, I know your parents". The mind controller grumbled while everyone wondered how his family was.

"Maybe his family is with cheerful people who like to hug and sing 'Kumbaya'" Said a Todoroki, during the match and cooler than earlier. Fighting that way and yelling all he had on his heart allowed him to let off a lot of steam.

Contrary to before, it was not emotionlessness on his face, but just peace. Peace of mind because he had finally lashed out. Something he did not do often since it could summon his fire.

People wondered if Todoroki did not touch a nerve, since Hitoshi shuddered at the thought. Kyoka too. Somehow, Katsuki made a notebook appear from nowhere and noted something. Izuku was not the only one with this skill.

Nonetheless, Momo and Hitoshi lost for a very simple reason. Uraraka launched Sato at them, full force. Turned out that none of them were good enough in close combat against someone with a strength-enhancing quirk.

As for Iida and Shoji against Kirishima and Aoyama, no one could have seen the result coming. Iida and Shoji seemed like an excellent hero team, with a scout and a fighter, while Kirishima and Aoyama seemed to have only one brain cell for two.

Except Aoyama planned the whole fight and made Iida go straight in a certain corridor while Kirishima dropped from above Shoji to knock him down.

As for the last fight, everyone nicknamed Ojiro and Tsuyu the Ninja duo. They even avoided the camera on the field and disarmed the bomb without everyone seeing them.

Except for the first two fights, All-Might had appreciated the whole exercise. However, deep down, he had to wonder: How much of the calm was because he ordered them to not destroy too many walls?

Yagi decided wisely that the answer was not worth his sanity and his sleep.

—

"By the way, Izuku, how was it to hug Tooru?" asked for once, not Bakugou, though he was listening, but Ojiro.

"Ahem… Nice? I mean, she just needed a hug, nothing else." Said peacefully an Izuku while taking off his mask and revealing a little smile on his lips, clearly remembering fondly the moment. Yes, she had been terrified, but knowing she had trusted him enough to let him close had been nice enough for the magician.

"Because I have heard it takes at least three weeks to make a costume with people's hair." Explained afterward, Ojiro, with no special perverted thought. Well, not much more than any boy their age. Every boy did a double-take.

"So, what you're saying is…" Oh god, Izuku was so dead, thought Katsuki… "Mister pure cinnamon went full second base before even the first date? Damn it, Izuku. I knew you wanted the whole Gentleman magician persona, but this is a whole other level."

Izuku sighed, "Katsuki. We both know how that ends. What is your price for not telling my mom? Especially as I did not think of that."

"Well, I have an idea…"

Izuku winced when Katsuki explained his idea.

—

"Well, congratulations Tooru. You found a perfect boy in the first week of class." Said Jiro, with a little jealousy in her voice but wanting to tease the invisible girl.

"Eeeeeh?!"

"I was listening to the boys in the other room. He did not notice or did not care that you were technically costumeless for the exercise. He only cared for you." Explained Earjack, smiling to the other girls, who were all ready to tease. "And, since Izuku's mom and stepdad would never stop teasing him about you, Katsuki had enough blackmail to force him to go to the mall tomorrow."

"Wait. So… Is Katsuki trolling or helping Izuku?" Asked Uraraka, a bit curious and wondering a lot about the angry boy who was often seen helping people in a roundabout way. "Because I get the whole embarrass your friend. But we all know and saw how Izuku was keeping notes on everyone, and especially Tooru."

"He isn't!"

"Girl, I have seen him making theories on how you can see and why we can't see what you eat and how someone could practice surgery if necessary to save you. That is some level of dedication."

While nobody could see her, everyone knew Tooru was blushing redder than an invisible tomato.

"And what does he do now?"

"Confirm he's way too nice, and it is his first date. Still, Tooru is going to have a good time from what I'm hearing and no, I'm not spoiling it." Said Jiro, while doing a little sign to Mina who confirmed she would get the camera ready.

The two girls, Kaminaria and Kirishima had become quick friends around their favorite activity: teasing the hell out of people, to hide the fact they were quite vulnerable to it themselves.

Then again, someone trying to tease Katsuki would be ballsy or Izuku.

—

"We will give around 10.000 yen tomorrow to Izuku, Atsuhiro." Said Inko, as she was picking up the groceries as if she was saying a fact such as "Sky is blue".

"Oh?" Wondered our favorite vigilante.

"I have a delightful feeling". Somehow, a mother always knew.

—

Izuku was waiting at the mall, just under the clock. He was actually wearing good clothes and not something dumb like a T-shirt with written on it "Pants". No, Katsuki did not force him to take some of his clothes and make him do an entire show to make him wear the best clothes possible for his first date.

… Who Izuku was kidding? Of course he did. This, of course, meant auntie Mitsuki knew and that meant his mom knew too. Or at the very least, will know before the end of the day. Auntie Mitsuki was not someone you could trust with a secret. At least, he preferred that gentle teasing to the whole angriness he would get if he told her the truth.

Nonetheless, he was still wondering. Katsuki had promised someone would be here and he would know he had set up for him a date. To be fair, Izuku had a good idea of a girl he wanted to invite on a date: A certain invisible girl… Not only because her quirk was interesting but also because she seemed nice and loved to talk about magic tricks and what made a true hero. Like the fact she wanted to become an underground hero to protect people while unseen. Sure, she would like more attention, but she had been a bit resigned to the idea no one would see her.

"Herm… You did not wait too much?" Said the voice of a certain girl, while in the background, Katsuki did a pose that looked a lot like Gendo. All according to his plan to set up Izuku with a girl nice enough for him so he could tease him to the end of the world!

"Ah… Not at all!" He was there one hour early to make sure he had the right places for the whole date.

Nonetheless, Tooru loved the fact that Izuku seemed purely stunned when seeing her. Well, at least her clothes. A nice skirt and a casual top went a long way to please the eyes. Still, he had a way of somehow looking into her eyes, and it was nice. Especially as everyone would look first somewhere else.

"So… I heard you had planned for a few things?" Told Tooru.

"Yeah… I know an excellent crepe shop around there if you want to eat a bite. I thought we could too… You know… Try a bit of shopping? I also know a place where they sell some old underground heroes' goodies. This doesn't hurt them since they retired a long time ago." And just like that, she knew she was going to have a good time.

Meanwhile, Izuku had another thought. Was holding hands considered second or first base? Damn, that whole thing was confusing.

He had tried to ask Atsuhiro for help… Who laughed sadly for a few minutes. Then he explained to Izuku that he had only one woman in his life. It was Inko, and he had failed his first chance to date her years ago because he was too indecisive. So…

Don't be like him. It had been the only advice Atsuhiro could give him. It was the only time Izuku regretted Hisashi was not alive since, apparently, he was a playboy before Inko.

So… Yes. Izuku hoped he could hold hands with Tooru today.

However, did he forget something today? He couldn't stop feeling like he had.

—

In the den of the drake.

"Grdmfff… Izuku better have a good reason to miss our FABLED BATTLE!"

"Tomura. It is just the weekly tournament in your own bracket." Said one of the few neckbeards, not that afraid of the blue-haired man who was grumpy… Before sighing.

"Well, I guess I better call him…" Said Tomura, taking his phone out when suddenly…

"Hey, Tomura, do you know Izuku's quirk?" Interrupted one of the biggest and smelliest guys in the store.

"I… don't know his quirk. We have this unspoken rule between" Sighed Tomura, who had tried to ask Izuku a lot about it. All he knew was that Izuku got it late and suffered the quirkless discrimination before that.

"Because either he's lonely and has strong telekinesis power or he's on a date with an invisible girl. Or cross-dressing guy. Not judging if…"

Tomura inhaled before getting up and looking through the window. Izuku had a girlfriend?!

—

Soon after that, Izuku sat for a second, while Tooru was going to get some ice cream for the both of them, when suddenly he heard a raspy voice beside him.

"So… We are missing the tournament, Izuku?" said a certain man child with a few skin problems.

Oh right. That was what he had forgotten, as Tomura pulled him under his arm.

"Tomura, I know I should have called but…"

"But what? You are blackmailed into a date at the very least moment with an invisible girl?" Said Tomura with sarcasm in his voice, before he saw the look in Izuku's eye. The look showed he was way too done.

"Yes. In fact, if you have advice…"

"Izuku. Have you seen my face?" Tomura was conscious now about his look. "The only girls I have ever dated are in a video game, and I doubt they're an excellent source of advice. Try to hold hands with her at least." Said in a big brotherly way Tomura when they heard the voice of a cute girl who was worried..

"Hem… Izuku? Is that one of your friends?" Truth to be told, anyone seeing Tomura with Izuku would have thought he was harassing them.

"Oh yes, Tooru, meet Tomura. He is a friend from a card game. Tomura, Tooru. A classmate that is… very nice and cute."

In another universe, Izuku needed to switch pants. In this one, he was just red and wondering how it would go.

"Oh. I was wondering since I thought Bakugou seemed like your only friend. Don't worry, Tomura. I don't judge on the face. I mean, imagine if I did."

"... Cute and gutsy. I like her, Izuku. You should come to the shop. People are taking bets on either if your quirk is telekinesis or if she's real. You know, they have never met a real girl before. Except for their mom." Said Tomura, while getting up… And Tooru seemed interested.

"Card shop, uh?" asked Tooru to Izuku's ear, who was smiling at the joyful tone of the girl. And curious.

"I learned strategy with Tomura." answered the green boy. "He is actually smart."

"Well, Tomura seems… Not too bad."

"Don't worry, he jokes about how he looks villainous himself. You can say it. He finds it funny. In fact, he's a villain fan. We have… Passionate debate."

It was useless to say that to the local fauna of the game shop, even an invisible girl like Tooru was something absolutely mythical. As in "That should not exist and if it does, the legend about it will exist for years to come."

So, while she was looking at the shop, Tomura was shooing every neckbeard back in the backroom to leave Izuku and his girl a little space. He remembered his lesson with Kurogiri about it. It was called the "Brocode", written by someone called Barney. Kurogiri tolerated Tomura had almost no rules, but he had to follow them.

He was evil, not an asshole.

Still, Izuku looked at the shopkeeper and muttered. "Tomura will fit the bill. Tell him I call him my favor. I need a card."

The shopkeeper, with his quirk allowing him to grab any card his clients could think of in the vicinity (hence why he was banned from all tournaments)... Yes, it was a quirk that sucked a bit but he liked it and had managed to live from it. Hey, nobody could say this quirk was dangerous at all.

It was perfect. Izuku took the card while nodding to the shopkeeper, while Tooru simply took a small figurine and brought it to the clerk. Izuku paid for it quickly. He wanted to surprise Tooru afterward, hence why he did not want her to know he just found a certain card.

Meanwhile, the shopkeeper was humming because he had found and given a premium collector card to Izuku. Hey, he had to live and Tomura was an endless pocket of money.

—

Soon after that, both of them were out. Buying stuff like keychains of Manbat, an underground hero who was now for being quite broody and using an iron bat to strike down criminals. He had a more famous sidekick, the Wing of the Night, who actually operated in the day. He was an angel quirked mutant who was known for his smile.

So, now they were retired, they actually thought of marketing their old adventure and lived from their action figures or other goodies. Tooru loved them. Izuku too.

"My little brother loves them. He has the quirk to project light from his eyes. Nothing like a laser eye, hu, but honestly, this is exceptional for animating a birthday." She explained to him while eating the ice creams she was going to take before meeting Tomura. "As for my parents, one of them can produce light and my mother can bend things."

"Wait. She has the strength to bend things or…"

"Nope, if she can grab it and it is under two hundred kilos, she can bend it as if it is a noodle. Very useful as a worker."

"So… You inherited their quirk who mutated into a mutant one? That is incredible!"

"Aha… Thank you. I don't have to tell you how hard it has been for them. They used to make me wear a bell on a necklace when I was a baby."

Mentally, Izuku was, of course, taking note, as Tooru, in the sound of her voice, seemed to remember the necklace fondly. He had to find one.

"And for you? Where did you find your passion for quirks or magic tricks?"

"Hmmm… I think I began to love quirks when I was young. Mom said someone taught me a bit of analysis, but I don't remember him very well. No, I truly loved them because… Well…"

"Late-bloomer?"

"Extremely. I had mine for a year now, and I still can't use it too much."

"Ouch. Must not have been nice."

Izuku sighed. Oh boy.

"Yes. But now? It is way better. I mean. My friends are with me. I have a good new dad and I had a wonderful day with you. I also know perfectly how to end it." Said Izuku, while pulling his phone.

"Is that a way to take my bra in the picture from above, Zuku~?" said playfully Tooru, who knew now that it probably did not even cross his mind. Still, hearing him cooing was adorable, just like the shade of red and green his face was. When Izuku asked her how she was seeing if light could just pass through, she explained her body bends the light. Slightly different, and she was learning.

"... I was thinking of a picture with the both of us."

Izuku knew that she was staring at him, wondering if he was serious or not, but saw he was serious. Deciding to humor him on this date, Tooru pressed herself a bit against him. Also, Izuku had been nothing but cute the whole date. Asking her question, taking her to a place she would like (she was not dumb and knew few places sold her favorite flavor. Where the hell did he find that info?), the Aquarium, and finally, making sure she had a good time, never losing her despite being invisible.

You could say whatever you wanted, but being in the spotlight for a day was nice. She was almost visible.

Then, Izuku did something. As he took the picture, a funny-looking lens appeared in front of the camera.

When Izuku showed the picture to Tooru, she promptly grabbed the phone before crying as the lens was already disappearing in ashes, as Izuku's summons did when he was out of energy. Still, you could see on Izuku's face it was worth it.

On the phone, the picture revealed two teens with two different shades of green for their hair. Izuku had way darker hair and the girl with him had greenish, very light green hair. She had a cute smile and was currently crying on the phone.

To be fair, it was the correct reaction if you saw your face for the first time.

"What… What did you do? How?!"

"I used a card that can reveal the invisible. I'm not limited to tarot, you know? I thought about using the Hermit, but Arcana always takes a lot, and…" He couldn't finish his explanation as he felt lips on his.

"Ok. That is it. I'm calling dibs. Now you're mine." Said seriously the invisible girl of the 1A. White knight saving? Check. Nice? Check. Actually, a nice body with nice abs? Check. Smart? Check. Not quirkist? EVEN MORE CHECK.

Sensible, and who thought of the most sensible gift for her? Triple check. Izuku was a pearl, and she was not losing him.

Meanwhile, Izuku could understand why Atsuhiro liked a woman who had a bit of authority over him.

—

"Well, Tooru is calling dibs and has claimed Izuku as her boyfriend. From what I can hear… He somehow took a picture of her. We can all agree we all need it, right?"

"Earjack. I need it for my auntie. She's probably going to smother him." Said a laughing Katsuki, as he was with Denji, Mina, and Jiro. It seemed a lot like a double date now that he thought about it… Not like it was that, right?

"Damn. Smooth. And nice clothes."

"Thanks." Said Katsuki, proud of a job well done.

"... You decided on his clothing?"

"My parents are designers, raccoon eyes. My mom hinted she helped a few heroines make them but never told names. I know a lot about clothes. Should have seen the first design of Izuku's hero suit. He had rabbit EARS. Because he tried and failed to honor All-Might!" Explained Katsuki, while drinking a soda with his bunch of friends. "Shame Todoroki failed to show. Guess the U.A. talked to him and his father." Denki had thought of inviting him to make him socialize as it was made apparent Shouto lacked that. Katsuki had said nothing about it. It made him remember Izuku's situation way too much.

"I trust All-Might to take the proper actions. He is fucking All-Might. On a side and unrelated note, does anyone know where I can buy a new deck of cards? My last one had an acute case of combustion."

"Endeavor?" Said teasingly Jirou.

"Endeavor, Jack Ear." Admitted a groaning Katsuki.

"The shop with the green front. Izuku is a regular there."

The exploding boy nodded simply. He would go there the next day. Today… Well… He had something else to do. Still, he had been happy to do his good action of the week.

"Wait. Does that mean Izuku has gotten his girlfriend before Katsuki?" Said Denki, to the horror of the two girls.

"MOTHERFU…"
