Just a quick reminder I will not be here next week but I will be returning the week after.
AkosiMarie: Thanks, I tried to give him a bit of hope as he aged.
R-king 93: Thanks I';; try to keep it up.
LegendaryMob: NO I will not be mass producing the Breathing styles. There is a reason for everything I do. I don't explain things out of place because it would feel a bit unnatural and I don't like info dumps that are out of place. but I Promise everyone there will be a proper reason for it that will be discussed during the sports festival
Now onto the chapter. USJ starts now.
Chapter 27 USJ Start
Izuku and Yae were currently waiting for Yushiro in Izuku's apartment. After the hornet/ninja incident, they had a few questions for their sensei. They didn't have to wait long as Tomo opened a portal right into the living room. Yushiro stepped out and looked at the two. "You two wanted to see me."
"Yes please have a seat sensei." said Izuku pointing to the couch.
Yushiro sat down across from the two. "I have a feeling I know what this is about."
"Why didn't you tell us anything." yelled Yae a little pissed that she wasn't told that her friends were unknowingly held hostage. "We could have done something. We could have helped. We're both strong so why didn't you tell us anything."
Yushiro closed his eyes as he began thinking. Both Izuku and Yae were at the edge of their seats waiting to hear his reasoning. "I don't know."
Both Izuku and Yae faltered. "HUH What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means I don't know." said Yushiro, being completely honest. "You both make excellent points, you both are quite skilled and could have helped so to be honest I don't know why I didn't ask for your help."
They both looked at him skeptically. "Your kidding," said Yae, not believing this. "So what was your plan?"
"Turn myself over to the ninjas of course." They both dropped their jaws. "When I saw the hornets I thought for sure they were after me, so when I told the teachers and they confirmed it. My plan was to simply give myself to them so no one would get hurt. I don't like dragging others into my problem. That's when Aizawa hit me and they said no. That's when we came up with a new plan."
"So why didn't you tell me afterwards or give me some sort of hint?" asked Izuku
"Well at the time I thought it would be a good idea to have someone with Ojiro and the quirk license were an excellent excuse. Though I have to ask Izuku how did you figure out Ojiro had a hornet in his neck?" Yushiro asked, a little curious.
"Sensei the first ability you trained with me was how to focus and enhance my senses. When we were first fighting those bank robbers I picked up the hornet inside him." said Izuku.
Yae remembered the footage from the bank robbery. "That must have been how that one guy got a lucky hit on yeah." Izuku nodded. "Well that makes sense." before returning her attention to Yushiro. "Though I wish you would have told us something, Old Man. I called my father about the hornets. He told me he talked to you and said the situation was handled, oh and he wants me to let you know him and my mom are coming to the sports festival."
Yushiro then made a mental note to prepare for his arrival. "I see well then, I do apologize for not talking to either of you about the hornets. I was more or less going with the situation. Just like I tell all of those politicians and doctors. My age has given me wisdom but I don't always make the best decisions all the time." he said as he got up. "Well if that's all we should be heading to school now."
"I have a question, two infact." said Yae, stopping Yushiro. "Those ninjas you fought, they must have known about the students and about you at UA. Is there a spy we need to deal with?"
Yushiro stared at Yae for a moment. Despite her personality she was really sharp, something that Yushiro forgets sometimes. "Most likely."
"Do you have any idea who it is?" Yushiro was silent for a moment. "Old Man."
"Me and the teachers at UA are handling the situation."
Izuku was shocked by this response. "Sensei?"
"So you're not going to lie but you ain't going to tell what really is going on. Is that it?" said Yae
"Yae," said Yushiro, surprised by this.
"Does Ojiro know about any of this?"
"What, of course not. Why would he."
"You're teaching him the breathing styles aren't you."
Yushiro now could hear the hurt in her voice. "...Yae…"
Yae was silent as she breathed. "I may not be smart like Izuku or Melissa, but I've known you for ten years now. I've read the books in your library, you've spard with me while I was trying to get a hang on my quirk. I know that the breathing styles are some secret and I can tell you I know that Izuku's quirk is really bullshit, same goes for Melissa too. The way you talk about the past and how you and dad have those private conversations I know you're old as hell, more than what you tell everyone. This has something to do with that past doesn't it." Yae paused waiting for some reaction from Yushiro but he only had a look of concern. "You know what fuck it keep your secrets. I need to get ready for school."
Yae began making her way towards the door. "Yae wait." as Izuku grabbed her arm to stop her. "Yae, I'm sorry I- ow."
Izuku felt his hand burning on some of Yae's strange metal. Yae took a deep breath. "Sorry Izuku, Old Man. Your secrets are your own. I can't make either of you say squat. As much as I want too."
"No you deserve it." said Yushiro. "To be honest, part of me forgot that we haven't really told you. I feel that you're old enough to know. If your father gives me permission I will tell you what you would like to know. Though you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else understood."
"OF COURSE." said Yae a little too loud. She turned slightly red. "I mean I just got... tired of being left out." she admitted.
Yushiro reached up and began to pat her head like he used to when she was a child, and still a bit is. "I understand. I trust you Yae, I just forgot how grown up you've become. If your father gives me the go head I promise to tell you everything."
"Okay." said Yae, realizing that she was acting a bit like a child. Yushiro smiled and texted Tomo to open the portal to head back. Yae then turned back to Izuku. "Hey sorry about the hand."
Izuku grabbed her shoulders. "Yae, I just wanted you to know I trust you. I do whether it's with the secrets or on the battlefield. You're my friend and I'm sorry if I ever hurt you."
Yae was slowly feeling something in her chest that wasn't there before and her face was heating up slightly. "Izuku that's fine, I mean I was the one who felt left out." as she tried to look away.
"I now, but I didn't realizing you were hurting and-"
"Would you look at the time," she said walking away from Izuku. "I need to go and get ready for school." as she bolted out of the apartment.
Inko and Eri both saw her dash out. "What's wrong with Yae?" asked Eri.
Izuku scratched the back of his head. "I think I might have hurt her feelings." Inko just started smiling. "Mom why are you smiling like that?"
Yae rushed back to her apartment and closed the door quickly startling her roommates. "Yae is everything okay?" asked Ochako.
"Yeah," she said as she made her way to her room. "Just a weird feeling in my chest." Both Ochako and Melissa looked at each other knowing exactly what she was feeling.
~o~
Hibiki was currently getting used to the wooden body she was controlling. This is still weird, as she remembered getting it earlier this morning.
Hey Woodwind has anyone told you how odd your quirk is?" asked Hibiki
'All the time, but it does have its advantages." he said as he tied small panels of wood on her body. "They're trying to move." Hibiki did and the wooden doll moved as well. "Perfect now move the puppet without moving your body." she did. "See like riding a bicycle."
"Yes but I haven't done this in five years." pointed out Hibiki.
"Don't worry you'll get it. When I connect your other senses it will be a lot easier to move around with." he said
"I know that when i'm directly connected to it I'll be able to use my quirk," said Hibiki. "But will there be any other changes?"
Woodwind thought for a moment. "Well the puppets are made out of a super strong wood but still wood, so it can't bleed and I don't think it will take as much damage. Though you should be able to move quicker since it's so light."
Hibiki and the puppet both grabbed one side of Woodwind's head. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Really Hibiki, come on." he said, slightly annoyed but calm. "You know what I meant. Let go we need to get you ready. Now."
In the end Hibiki let her cousin have his head back, they then went back to setting her up to control the puppet. At the end she had full control but it was still weird because she could still tell it wasn't her body. This feeling didn't hinder her movement or control but it did mean she would have to keep in mind that she needed to be careful. If she breaks it could cause some problems. Not to mention it would mean she would have to deal with Woodwind getting angry at her.
"Oh hey Hibiki." said Melissa as she Ochako, Yae and Izuku. "How's it going?"
"Oh hey Melissa, it's going great." she said but inwardly she was cursing her luck. 'Out of all the people I wanted to see today you idiots were the last. I need a distraction.' As if something above heard her one appeared, as she saw Jack and Kendo walking down the streets. "Hey Kendo, Jack."
"Oh Hi Hibiki." as Kendo waved back.
"Hey guys." said Jack. As he saw the other. "How's it going." as they made small talk for a bit until Jack asked Izuku a question. "So they finally let you out for some action huh?"
"Yeah just for a bit I don't know how regular it will be." said Izuku
Kendo had a question on that topic. "Yeah but how the hell did that other kid get involved.
Before Izuku could answer they all stopped as they began to hear something. Screaming but not the someones endanger screaming, the I'm running for my life screaming. The group turned to see Ojiro running from the corner. Screaming as he ran. "Ojiro what the heck are you-." Izuku stopped as he watched a giant group of reporters chasing him at surprising speeds.
"RRRRRUUUUUUNNNNN." He screamed as he passed them.
None of them needed to be told twice as they all began running at top speeds to the school gates, only to their horror to find a small group of reporters waiting for them at the gate. Izuku thought quickly, "Ochako cancel our gravity will go over the wall."
"Okay, everyone connect." She held out her hands while everyone grabbed either a hand or shoulder. With no gravity it was easy for all of them to jump and sail over the wall. "Release." as they all landed inside the campus.
"Thanks Ochako." said Ojiro
"Dude what the hell was that?" asked Yae.
"They were waiting outside my home. I had to parkour my way to school with them chasing me."
"Yeah," said Izuku. "They can be vultures sometimes." as he remembered him being chased by them himself. "Come on let's get to class, it's supposed to be an easy day today."
~o~
"TELL ME WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE WITH DEKU?" screamed Bakugo as he and other classmates had Ojiro backed into a corner.
"Why do lie to me Izuku." yelled Ojiro
"Guys back off." said Izukutrying to defend Ojiro
"Look we just want to know how come he was out there with you and All Might." said Kaminari
"Yeah, aren't you guys breaking a law or something?" asked Sato
"Clearly, that's not the case." said Momo. "Cause All Might was there and the police didn't do anything. Which means somehow they got permission, I can see Izuku getting that easily cause he is Demon Slayer, but how did you get it Ojiro, that's what I want to know."
"All of you in your seats, NOW." said Aizawa as he entered the classroom.
"What the hell is all of this." They heard Yushiro's voice in the hallway. "Get back to class now."
"We just have a question," asked Tesutesu. "How come that one kid with the tail got to go out with All Might and Demon Slayer?"
"He asked, now get back to class."
"HE ASKED!" shouted Bakugo.
Aizawa slammed the door shut. "Today is already becoming a headache."
"Wait you just asked." said Mina, turning to Ojiro.
"Well kind of." said Ojiro. "I just wanted to ask Mr. Yushiro if he can give me any more advice or training."
"Was that it?" asked Kirishima.
"I want to go." "So do I." "When can I go?" "Can I go out with Midnight?"
"Shut up." as Aizawa fired off his quirk to silence them. "Look for a while now the principle has been wanting to try this out. With All Might and Izuku here he finally had the go ahead, and he and Yushiro thought it would be a good idea to include another student. Ojiro just asked at the perfect time." Everyone just dropped their jaw at how lucky Ojiro was. "And before any of you ask, we will be making a schedule for this, but we are not making one today. You'll just have to wait until we get it fully set up, what they did was a test run, now we have to see how other factors react."
Bakugo just growled at that. "Well when is that going to happen?"
"Don't know," said Aizawa honestly. "Now moving on, to confirm your class representatives are Momo as class president and Iida as vice president, correct."
"Yes sir." said Momo
"Alright then, get everyone ready in their hero gear and outside. Today we will be going over the basics of rescue operations at the USJ."
~o~
"Alright everyone line up in seating order and prepare to get on the bus." said Tenya trying and failing to organize the other students.
"Iida, this bus isn't like that." said Momo as they entered the bus that had an open seating arrangement.
"Curses thwarted by the bus system." earning Iida several confusing looks. Soon all of them were on their way to the USJ.
"Hey Izuku, I hope you don't mind but, I have a question." asked Tsuyu.
"Uh sure."
"So what's it like being a hero with All Might?"
"Oh it's like a dream come true. All Might has been my hero for a long time. So finally being able to fight alongside him was great. I hope we can do it again." said Izuku
"I'm more curious about your teacher," said Momo. "Mr Yushiro. For starters why did he allow you to commit acts of vigilantism? He must have known about the laws, especially if he was alive when they were made."
"Uh well…"
"He's old." interjected Yae. "He's old and so is his ways."
"How would you know?" asked Momo
"I've known the Old Man the longest, my dad used to work for him, so calm your tits."
Momo tried to remain calm and most thought she was but she couldn't help the tic mark on her head. "One of these days, I swear."
Kaminari had a question. "So he discovered your quirk right, how come you never knew you had a quirk? Your quirk seems to be able to do a lot."
Ojiro remembered Izuku's explanation of his quirk. 'Yeah he can do- wait a minute, that doesn't make sense.' Ojiro began to think over Izuku's explanation and the powers he displayed. 'How the hell then was he able to manipulate flowers or make bugs appear. Not to mention discovering the hornet. What's going on here.' He thought as he realized there was something more here.
"Yeah my quirk can do a lot but it comes with a huge problem." said Izuku
"Like what?" asked Jiro.
"I can't feel it."
"Huh?" the people in the class that didn't know were stunned. "What exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"Well I can't feel my lungs and they control my quirk."
"He's telling the truth," said Melissa. "I'm in the same boat. I can't feel my heart and that's the part of my body that controls my quirk. So I thought I was quirkless as well."
"Wait what?" said the class in unison.
"Oh for the love of, stop yelling." Yelled Yae. "They have a disability. Think about it for a minute. The population to have quirks has remained 80% for years without change. Which doesn't make sense unless…."
"They have quirks but can't feel them," said Bakugo, connecting the dots. "You two are crippled."
"Hey we've learned how to use our quirks just as well as everyone else." said Melissa. "We just started late is all."
Kirishima finally understands his earlier conversations with Izuku. "You guys only figured out recently how to control your quirks. That's so manly."
"Uhh thanks."
"How'd you guys get so strong so quickly?" asked Sero
"We had a good teacher."
"Yushiro Sensei can be a bit ruff around the edges but he means well." said Izuku
"Yeah a good teacher." said Ojiro under his breath. Ojiro was now official suspicious of the new teacher and his personal students.
"Alright quiet down, we've arrived at the USJ." said Aizawa. Soon quickly all of the students were standing in front of the USJ. "Now let me introduce another teacher that will help us with today's lesson." The doors to the USJ opened to reveal Thirteen. "The rescue hero Thirteen."
"How's it going kids?" said Thirteen.
"Oh my gosh, it's Thirteen." said Ochako somewhat fangirling.
"I know right," said Izuku, going back to his old habits. "Thirteen's quirk is really something. In fact I got a question on your quirk."
"In a moment," said Thirteen, turning back to Aizawa. "You all set?"
"I am but where is the other one?" asked Aizawa
"Our other teacher got caught up with other things." said Thirteen.
"It's not the scary lady is it." asked Mineta. Everyone turned to see him shaking.
"Scary Lady?" repeated Thirteen. "You mean Midnight?"
"NO, the scary one." as he began shaking more.
Aizawa then remembered what happened yesterday. "You mean Tomo."
"The scary lady." said Mineta as he began to cry.
"Tomo? How is she scary?" asked Thirteen
"It's mainly him," said Aizawa remembering what happened.
"No get away from me I didn't ask for this." screamed Mineta
"Tomo, what did you do to him?" asked Yushiro.
"NO NOT IN THE BUTT."
"All I did was have him relive a terrible nightmare." said Tomo just as surprised as the others.
"I DIDN'T ASK TO MARRY ANY OF YOU."
"And what exactly is he having a nightmare of?" asked Aizawa
"I DIDN'T ASK FOR A GAY HAREM. I WANT TITS NOT DICKS."
"Nevermind."
"What is wrong with this kid?" asked Present Mic
"STOP FLIRTING WITH ME. I'M NOT GAY."
"Come on let's get this lesson started with." As Aizawa ushered his students into the USJ.
~o~
All Might was currently rolling his shoulders in his skinny form as he entered the teachers lounge. "Been a while since I stopped so much crime before school."
"Indeed," said Yushiro as he accepted a cup of tea from Tomo. "You've been busy this morning." as he held up his tablet showing All Might stopping crime this morning.
"Yeah, I would probably be out of gas by now if it wasn't for you." said All Might accepting some tea from Tomo. "Thanks, so what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"One moment-"
"I am here." said Nezu entering the lounge.
"Nevermind, welcome Nezu."
"Hello Yushiro, All Might, Tomo." said Nezu as he hopped up on the couch and took a seat. "So what is this meeting about?"
"Well I'll cut to the chase. I need your help because I plan to go on tv for an interview." said Yushiro
Both Nezu and Toshinori were silent for a moment. "Could you please explain, with more detail."
"Well clearly there have been some issues that have arised due to my recent actions, like a bunch of heroes having a meeting off the books, or the police actions as well. The ninjas were the final straw. If I wish to continue to help the students and be a proper teacher then I need to be transparent with the public. By that I of course mean just tell them the basics and leave anything past two hundred years ago in the dark."
"Are you sure you want to do this," asked Toshinori. "If you do you might not be able to disappear so easily again."
Yushiro scoffed. "Trust me, if I wanted to I could disappear easily."
"Why though," asked Nezu. "Why do you want to go public?"
"One it would make things easier so we don't have more heroes knocking on my doorstep and two, if I'm no longer in the shadows I can do a lot more without arousing suspicion. Also if anyone wants to mess with me they will have to do it knowing I have the world looking at me. Not to mention I can help others out publicly, go to hospitals and be a doctor out in the open. Not to mention Izuku and Melissa want to give me credit for helping them with their quirks."
"But won't that make things hard for you?" asked Toshinori.
"How?" Yushiro raised his brow. "Let's be honest here All Might, If you went public with everything, there would be panic because your hero days are numbered and if we went further everyone would want your quirk. If I go public, I'll have a bunch of scientists and doctors who would have questions for me. Which I already do, not to mention I have almost every single government on my side, and they don't care as long as I continue my work. In fact let's be honest here, I'm not hiding anymore. The students already know who I am and sooner or later some news station is going to ask about the new teachers."
Both Nezu and Toshinori were silent for a moment. "You know, those are some solid points." said Nezu now content with helping. "Alright what do you need?" as they began to discuss where to begin.
~o~
"Alright class be silent and listen up," said Aizawa.
"Sensei." said Izuku, grabbing the handle of his sword. They turned to see a black portal opening at the center near the fountain as several villains came pouring through.
"Uh what's going on?" asked Denki. "Does this have something to do with class?"
"Class rep gather the students." yelled Aizawa as he got ready. "This is not a drill. Those are real villains."
Momo jumped to action. "Kaminari see if you can call for help."
Kaminari tried but couldn't connect. "No luck we're cut off somehow."
"All of you stay here." as Erasurehead pulled down his goggles. "Thirteen get the students out of here I'll hold them off."
"Everyone, follow me. We're leaving." said Thirteen.
Izuku saw Erasurehead charged down into the group of villains. "Sorry Thirteen Sensei but I can't leave Aizawa sensei to go and fight on his own." Without waiting for a reply Izuku dashed down towards the villains. Izuku began fighting alongside Aizawa.
Erasure Head dodged a tackle "I told you to leave." As he used his capture weapon and caught two villains before tossing them."
"Breath of water: Water wheel" as Izuku spun sending villains back with a watered power slash. "Sorry but I ain't leaving you here."
"There he is," said Shigaraki, seeing Demon Slayer fighting alongside Erasure Head. "Kurogiri, execute the plan. Rui, get into position."
"Roger."
Kurogiri disappeared and then reappeared in front of the fleeing students. "Hello there children we are the league of villains and we-" BANG BANG BANG "Whoa. Hey."
"Shut it smokey and hold still." said Yae holding her smoking rifle.
"You're going to be trouble." Bang Bang "Okay fuck fine." Kurogiri expanded transporting several students away.
"Everyone else," said Izuku, seeing the expanding mass of smoke up where everyone else was.
"Pay attention, brat." said Toya Setsuno, one of the eight bullets. Quirk Larceny : he's able to take any object from someone's possession. He activated his quirk talking the Demon Slayer sword. "Ha I got your sword, Demon Slayer.'
Izuku felt the exact moment when his sword was taken from him. It truly felt like he was naked. That sword had been with him for over a year now and was a gift from his sensei, so he could learn a lost art. For once Izuku felt true rage. "GIVE THAT BACK." he roared as he charged the man who stole it with lightning speed.
For a moment Toya thought he bit off more than he could chew as he saw Demon Slayer charging him. In an instant he was in front of him and so was Kurogiri. "We have other plans for you." as Izuku was transported somewhere else.
"Could you have cut that any closer?!" yelled Toya picking himself up.
"Sorry, I need to transport everyone else."
Izuku felt himself hit the water, though before he could try and swim up for air chains wrapped around his legs. Soon he found several criminals with aquatic quirks grabbing him and dragging him under. One Shark looking villain got right in his face as he smiled. "Welcome Demon Slayer to your grave."
