Small might"

Chapter 5

Successor

It has been almost two years since Izuku's and Dante's adventure in Fortuna, since that time Izuku's became popular with the demon hunters society, they didn't know who he was and the press couldn't identify him because they had no pictures of him or if they had his face was always covered by a hood and a mask, only a few demon hunters knew who he was and so his name became famous. They called him "NERO THE DEVIL BREAKER", whenever Dante wasn't available they called him and he always lived up to his reputation.

AT IZUKUS SCHOOL

"Alright, you kids are in your final year so you should all think about your future and careers, so I should be handing out these applications but I know you all want to be heroes so what's the point" the teacher in the class said. After he said that the students started cheering and displaying their quirks, "yeah yeah you all have incredible quirks, but using your powers on school grounds is still prohibited so settle down" the teacher yelled at the students.

"Hey teach, don't group me in with in with these bunch of extras I'm the real deal, these extra trash would be lucky to get into some crap hero course" said the arrogant ash blonde known as Katsuki Bakugou. This statement caused and uproar in his class " you think you're better than us Bakugou" one of the students yelled "Bring it on I could kick all your asses" Bakugou said to rebut making his hand spark a bit silencing the class. Bakugou was an ash blonde standing at a height of 5'8, he had red eyes which darkened whenever he got angry giving him the look of a delinquent even though he was near top of his class academically.

"Yes Katsuki Bakugou, you have exceptional high test results and you're trying to get into UA high school correct, maybe you will get in" the teacher said reading a newspaper.

"He's going to a national school" one of the students whispered sparking a wildfire of conversation.

"I heard it only had a 2% acceptance rate it's impossible to get into that school"

Bakugou then got up, "UA is the only school worthy of teaching me, I'll rise above all you extras and become a famous hero even better than All Might him-" before he could finish his ranting his teacher then said "Ah Izuku Midoriya, you also want to get into UA right" causing the whole class to go silent looking at Izuku who wasn't paying attention to them as he continued to write on his notebook.

"DEKU" Bakugou shouted as he turned towards Izuku with his palm glowing as he was about to make Izuku's desk explode, when Izuku saw this he moved his notebook away and subtly use his devil bringer arm to move a desk in front of Bakugou causing him to fall on the ground. Just as Bakugou was about to get up the bell rang signaling school was over, the teacher and some students got out of the class, but as Izuku was packing his things he was stopped by two of Bakugou's goons.

"Look what we have here, deku has a little diary" said one of the goons as Bakugou took the book from Izuku.

"Hero notes for my future volume 13, don't tell me you're taking notes on how to be a hero" Bakugou said as he looked at the book "so pathetic".

Bakugou then blows up the book and throws it out the window. "Listen here deku most great heroes show potential early on in life, you can just look at them and know they are destined for greatness, I'll be the only one in this shitty school to get into UA and people will talk about me. That's not ego talking I just know I'm that damn good" Bakugou said as he put his hand on Izuku's shoulder with smoke rising from the palm "so do me a favor and don't think about applying" Bakugou said as he began to walk away.

"Besides if you want to be a hero so bad here's some advice, take a swan dive off the roof and pray you get a quirk in the next life" Bakugou said to Izuku. To say he was pissed of would be and understatement as he was letting loose a little killer intent and demonic aura causing everyone in the class to drop on their knees, he noticed that and quickly calmed down, seeing everyone getting back up he decided to just leave and let him what Bakugou said slide.

"Stupid Bakugou, what if you told someone that and they listened to you and did it how would you feel, anyways time for some training UA's entrance exams is coming up so I won't be in school until I after I take the exam" Izuku said to himself as he walked into the tunnel he normally took home. He then stopped as he felt something approaching him fast, he turned around and saw a sludge monster come out of the sewer hole that was in the tunnel.

The sludge then gathered into a disgusting mass that reached the ceiling of the tunnel. Izuku noticed the sludge had yellow eyes and a wide mouth filled with teeth. "I was finally able to him the slip" the sludge said as it then noticed Izuku causing its eyes to perk up and started grinning evilly. "Oh my what a wonderful body you have" it said creepily before it's tentacled shot forward to grab him.

Izuku ducked under the tentacle and jumped back to avoid being grabbed by another one. He glared at the sludge in front of me as he took his fighting stance. Since he was right handed, his left flank was facing his opponent with his right arm cocked back and bent at the elbow, his left arm was extended forward with his palm loose ready to block, parry or grab any attack thrown at him, this was his opening stance that was his personal mixture of Muay Thai, karate, judo, tae kwando and capoeira.

Judging from his appearance I know his attacks are fast but he remains stationary, meaning he can only do it in small bursts. So I'll just keep my distance and wait for an opening or I could just piss him off to do that' Izuku thought to himself.

"Don't try to resist kid, I'm just going to take over your body. I promise it will only hurt for a few seconds and then you'll feel nothing" the sludge villain said before sending numerous tentacles at Izuku with intention of capturing him.

Izuku however had other plans, so as the tentacles got closer he used his air trick to teleport behind the villain, he then jumped to the ceiling activating his devil bringer and launching himself at the villain, his devil bringer changed a while after he got back from Fortuna it was now black with blue lines on it(dmc5). Izuku then sent out an ethereal arm punching the villain on the head causing a few pieces of it to splash and also causing the ground to crack,when he landed he saw that it eyes had rolled to the back of its head meaning it was knocked out. "Hmmm, now what to do with your ugly ass" Izuku said thinking of how to apprehend it. He then saw a big bottle and instantly got an idea.

During his fight(if you can call it that) with the sludge Toshinori Yagi or as he was know as All Might was impressed and shocked when he climbed out of the sewers to see a boy not older than 15(going to be 16 when entering UA because of 10months training) quickly defeat a villain with such ease.

'Wow this kid got some skills, he waited for the villain to leave himself wide open and he quickly countered by attacking its blind spot, he shows promise' All Might thought to himself as he scanned Izuku's abilities.

"Hey, young man are you alright" All Might asked.

Izuku snapped out of his musing of defeat the sludge and turned his head and saw All Might addressing him. Izuku quickly entered his fanboy mode as stars appeared in his eyes "whoa All Might you're here, um yeah, I'm totally alright, were you chasing that guy" Izuku asked while All Might nodded. " well you arrived just in time here you go and also can you sign this for me" Izuku said as he gave the villain to All Might and brought out his hero note.

"Wow this is well detailed" All Might said as he looked at the notebook, impressed with the details of how the quirk works and some useful strategies for when facing villains. "Well here you go young man and thanks for the assist with the villain, keep it up and you'll have a successful hero career. I'll handle the villain from here so good luck" All Might said as Izuku handed him the bottle and was about to leave.

"Hold on, I wanna ask you something" Izuku said to All Might.

"Sorry young man but I'm in a hurry" All Might said as he jumped which generated winds because of the force he used. He was going to land on a rooftop and rest because he was reaching his limit, but to All Mights surprise Izuku was hanging on to his leg as he was in the air. "Young man what are you doing let go, seriously what's up with you fans" All might shouted at Izuku.

"I just wanna talk and ask you something, so before you drop me at least do it on a roof" Izuku said to All might who saw a building and landed on it.

"Young man that was very dangerous you could have been hurt" All might scolded Izuku for doing something like that.

"Yeah I'm sorry for that but I really need to ask you something" Izuku said want to ask All might a question that had been on his mind.

"Young man maybe another time so why don't you go home" All might trying to shoo Izuku away so he doesn't see his true form.

"I know but this has been on my mind for-"

'Damn it...I can't...go much longer' All might thought as smoke came out of him causing him to shrink. Izuku couldn't finish what he wanted to say as he saw smoke coming out of All mights body as he shrunk.

"All... All might?" All might sighed and answered the question on Izuku's mind.

"Yes, I am All might" All might said as Izuku stood there shocked at what he heard.

"But how... how are you like this and still be All might, the one who saves people with a fearless smile on his face.

"A fearless smile huh" All might said as he began to tell Izuku that he was injured in a fight against a powerful and deadly villain. He told Izuku that the injury made him lose part of his stomach and that he could only do hero work for five hours a day. Izuku was shocked that his favorite hero was fighting a dangerous injury and still smile like nothing.

"I see now, you smile to hide your fears. Because if people know that the number one hero is actually afraid, they'll lose hope" Izuku said surprising All might that he figured it out.

"Now, what's the question you wanted to ask me young man" All might asked and Izuku looked at him confused. "You said you had a question that's why you held on to me".

"Oh yeah, that completely slipped my mind" Izuku said causing All might to choke on some blood while muttering about the young generation.

"My question is what does it mean to be a hero" Izuku asked All might. "As a kid I always wanted to be a hero when I saw a video of how you saved all those people from that crash. So I've been thinking what it means to be a hero" Izuku said.

"Hmmm that's a good question" All might said. "Listen young man there are many definitions of a hero but the most important one is to fight for something greater than yourself, to put your life on the line when it matters most because your actions will inspire those that will come after your time is over, that's what you have to do" All might told Izuku.

"Huh, I guess he was right" Izuku said as All might looked at him confused. "My uncle told me exactly the same thing you just said, I guess I needed to hear it from someone else for it to finally get it, thank you All might" Izuku said bowing his head to him.

"Glad I could help, now let's get off this roof and give the bottle to...the...po-" All might stopped mid sentence to find out that he didn't have the bottle holding the villain.

"All might where's the bottle that's holding the sludge" Izuku asked in a worried manner as they looked at each other.

"SHIT". Both Izuku and All might exclaimed.

A FEW MINUTES EARLIER

"That piece of shit deku, who the hell does he think he is applying for UA when he's freaking quirkless" said one always angry Katsuki Bakugou as he was crushed a soda can

"Hey, weren't you childhood friends with him, I think you might have gone a little too far with what you said to him" said one of the goons.

"As if, that useless piece of shit just pisses me off, he thinks he can do anything if you believe in yourself hard enough. He just a stupid dreamer and is nothing but a pebble in my path" Bakugou said as he kicked the bottle hold the sludge. "And what the hell did I say about smoking, that's going to reflect badly on me so stop it" Bakugou said as he took the cigarette and stepped on it, he failed to notice the mass of sludge that rose from the ground.

"Invisibility cloak...with a powerful quirk" the sludge said.

Bakugou's friends noticed it but failed to warn him in time as it captured him.

TO IZUKU AND ALL MIGHT PRESENT TIME

"How...how could you have dropped the bottle holding a dangerous criminal inside! You're suppose to be the number one hero for a reason" Izuku yelled at All might for the situation they were now in.

"Don't you start blaming me mister I'm going to grab on to All might, while I try to secure the villain" All might fired back.

"Ok let's not play the blame game, we need to find him fast" Izuku said with All might nodding in agreement.

They both heard explosions and ran towards the direction it was coming from. When they got there all they saw was mass destruction, there was fire, cars flipped over and people running away from the scene. Both Izuku and All might went forward and saw the sludge villain, but there was something different about him. Izuku focused on the villain and saw that he had a hostage who was Bakugou. 'Just great, he's hold Bakugou hostage' Izuku thought as he saw Bakugou.

"All might the sludge has a hostage, it a classmate of mine. The sludge must be using his quirk to cause the explosions, you have to do something" Izuku said and All might looked down.

"I...can't Izuku I've reached my limit for the day" All might said grimly as Izuku eyes widen in shock.

"But there must be something you can do right" Izuku pleaded with him, but he got no response. 'Shit, why aren't the other proes doing anything' Izuku thought as he looked at the other heroes doing nothing. He then looked back at the villain and he saw something, he saw Bakugou's eyes and they looked like they were begging for help, Izuku saw this and snapped.

Play you say run

Izuku hopped the protective gate and ran towards the villain. 'Screw it, I'm going to save him with or without their help' Izuku thought as he began to pick up speed. The people in the area were yelling for him to get out of there.

"There you are, just the boy I wanted to kill" the villain said ferociously, but Izuku didn't cower in fear he kept running towards the villain.

The sludge sent two tentacles at Izuku causing him to roll on the ground to avoid them, as he was rolling he picked up to stones and threw them at the sludges eyes making it scream in pain. "Ahh my eyes, I can't see".

Izuku then teleported to Bakugou and was trying to pull him out. "Deku what are you doing-" Bakugou didn't get to finish as he was interrupted.

"Shut up, in here to save you dumbass" Izuku said as he pulled him out of the sludge, teleporting away and dropping him unceremoniously on the ground.

"Look here Bakugou, I don't like you but let me remind you that my dream is to become a hero" Izuku said as he pulled up his right hand sleeve and activating his devil bringer shocking Bakugou. "It's a heros duty to put his life on the line to defend those who can't defend themselves. Besides your eyes were calling for help".

All might was shocked at what Izuku just did and said. Izuku's word struck a chord with him causing him to smile as he watched Izuku charge at the sludge with greater speed and power than he did the first time.

Izuku blocked the villains attempts to attack him and teleported above him. He then cocked his arm back as he was in the air and focused more power in his arm. "Hey moron, I already kicked your ass so I'll make this one quick" Izuku said as he landed on the villain.

"Take this Demolition fist" Izuku yelled as he punched the villain with great strength that caused a shockwave of displaced air and a wide crater which caused the sludge to splash everywhere knocking him out.

'Whoa such power, I'm pretty sure that the strength of his punch and his speed would match 30% of my power' All might thought as he smiled wider seeing Izuku standing over the defeated villain with his hand smoking and the crowd cheering for him. 'I've found him, I finally found my successor'.

Izuku got out the crater and walked towards the gate smiling. He was still thinking that he just saved Bakugou, sure he doesn't like him, but when he saw him in trouble he just ran without thinking to save him despite his dislike for him.

After the heroes had reprimanded him for his actions, they thanked him for what he did and told him if he goes pro he could always come work for their agencies. The heroes ushered the crowd away so they could deal with the aftermath of the attack. When Izuku and Bakugou were alone, Bakugou yelled at Izuku saying that he didn't need his help and that his quirk was far stronger than his. Izuku just waved him off and left without saying anything it looking at him.

Izuku's was currently on his way home after the whole thing was over. 'Man I can't wait to get into UA, so I have a legit reason for kicking his ass all over the school' Izuku thought as he ran into All might.

"I. AM. HER-" All might couldn't finish as he deflated and coughed out blood.

"Seriously you have got to give people a warning when you decide to spew blood all over the place" Izuku said to All might. "Besides I know what you're going to say".

"What was I going to say" All might asked.

"That I shouldn't have gone to in to rescue Bakugou and that I shouldn't have used my powers in public, so can we just skip the lecture" Izuku said to All might.

"I wasn't going to say that at all" All might said to him causing his eyes to widen in surprise. "Sure it was reckless and dangerous to do that, I jut want to know why you did it" All might asked curiously.

"I don't know, I did what my body told me to do. I saw that he needed help and something just snapped in me, so I did what I thought was right" Izuku said.

When he finished talking All might looked at him with a straight face and smiled. "Young Midoriya did you know that most heroes origin stories all start with them saying that their bodies moved on its own in time of danger" All might told Izuku.

"Why are you telling me this All might" Izuku asked.

"Because what you did to was nothing short of amazing" All might said to Izuku. "From how you charged at the villain to rescue young Bakugou without hesitation, while all the other proes including myself did nothing but watch. You handled the villain with such skill and percision that I thought you were a pro yourself and most importantly you reminded what it means to truly be a hero so for that I thank you" All might said leaving Izuku speechless.

'Wow I just did what I thought was right I didn't think I would inspiring the number one hero' Izuku thought.

"I have a proposition for you young Midoriya, I would like to train you to be my successor and inherit my quirk, do you accept" All might said to Izuku.

'If I accept I'll be as strong as All might and it'll also give me an advantage against some demons, hell it could even make my demonic powers a lot stronger' Izuku thought as he finally made his decision.

"I'll do it All might, I will become your successor but on the condition I get to tell to my family. I know you don't want people to find out but you can trust them" Izuku said to All might.

"Alright young Midoriya I'll take your word for it" All might said.

"Sweet, when do we start because this one hell of a party" Izuku said smiling.
