Speech: "Hey what is up."
Shouting: "OW MY GOD DAM TOE!"
Thinking: 'She looks pretty cute.'
Quirk notification: [Cutie! Right behind you!]
(Narrator POV)
Quirk evolution, or a quirk awakening in some cases, was something incredibly rare, it had only been catalogued a total of 37 times since quirks first started appearing, and it was something Izuku thought he would never have had to deal with. In some cases, a latent, powerful ability made itself known to the user under extremely stressful circumstances, in other cases, the quirk in question grows a lot more power in seconds.
And Izuku wouldn't lie, Dating Sims was extremely stressful at the easiest of times.
Since the 8th generation of quirk users, quirk evolutions had been happening a lot more often, and now Izuku was worried. Why you may ask, the answer was simple, quirks awakened or evolved under stressful circumstances, and at the moment Izuku was fairly certain his quirk would awaken.
'For once, it isn't girls.' Idly mused Izuku, he would have loved to speak and ask questions, except everything but the upper part of his head was made of some sort of black smoke, meaning he couldn't speak or move. 'Sure, 8 people appear in my dream, something that is totally common.' Sarcastically noted Izuku, he could feel something, a connection between himself and the 8 people standing in a line beside him.
[Izu-Kun! The isn't a dream.]
Dating Sims sounded more confused that anything, Izuku somehow knew his quirk was right, he would never dream of his quirk otherwise, so something else must be happened. Emerald green eyes snapped open in realization, Dating Sims had said it the day he manifested, One For All was sentient as well, and he was the 9th user, which explained the other 8 people in his head.
"You're a smart kid Izuku, now be quite and listen." Softly hummed someone, the furthest person away from Izuku, who had white hair and a pair of green eyes similar to Izuku's own. "One For All is past the singularity point, meaning all the quirks that it has collected will start awakening, but your life span is limited now. No person is capable of holding two quirks for an extended period of time, except my brother, meaning that one day One For All will start harming your body." Hurriedly explained the person, Izuku could feel a fire race beneath his limited skin, One For All was actually flaring up by itself, in joy of all things.
'What?' Mentally questioned Izuku, freezing as his mind caught up to him, realizing what that actually meant for him. 'Just as I started my dream of being a hero, I'm going to start dying.' Numbly realized Izuku, barely 15 years old, not even 3 days into U.A, and was now told he was dying.
"Not for two decades minimum, at least. So do me a favor?" Kindly explained the person, who's hands were now on Izuku's misty shoulders, not phasing through them as Izuku had expected them too, but actually touched his shoulders. "Live life to its fullest. Smile, laugh, cry, make memories with your loved ones, and most importantly find someone to love. Like that Mei girl." Amusedly chuckled the man, smiling at Izuku fondly, ruffling Izuku's hair as he did so.
"NO! OCHACO FOR LIFE!" Loudly howled a man, who Izuku could have sworn was All Might, except for the fact he was utterly bald.
"Kyoka." Simply counted a black haired man, who had his mouth covered up his hero costume, as everyone else started shouting various of his heroines name's, except for the second and third person.
"You're too optimistic for this." Lowly growled the second person, a man who was concealed in darkness, and all Izuku could see was pointy hair, that would refuse to do what it was told to do.
Then Izuku blinked, that man... he looked familiar.
(Location change)
Sitting upright, Izuku gasped loudly, sweat was dripping down his forehead, his hands were trembling, as the memories of whatever it was he had just experienced came to his mind, and Izuku was scared. This wasn't some case where someone in trouble could get help, One For All was literally too powerful for anyone to host now, and it was slowly killing Izuku, if that guy was to be trusted.
"I need some fresh air." Softly grumbled Izuku, quietly getting out of his bed and into a pair of running shorts and a baggy hoody, there was only one place where Izuku wanted to go at 3 in the morning, and it was oddly comfortable. "To the beach it is." Idly decided Izuku, he had spent many an hour there, training to be better, so he could fulfill his dream of being a hero, so it was poetic in a sense.
Where his dream started for real, was where he would contemplate the end of it, though Izuku would have a minimum of two decades, so it wasn't completely horrible. Silently leaving his room, Izuku wasn't certain what to make of the situation, All Might would have to know for sure, but that left Izuku alone for a while.
[If it makes you feel better, your body seems weird.]
Now his quirk was insulting him, if it had never awakened, then Izuku would most certainly never be in this situation, where he had two quirks in his body, the latter of which would eventually kill him. Death, it was something Izuku hadn't thought about before, but now, it seemed as if it would greet him sooner than later.
"What do you mean by that?" Curiously questioned Izuku, closing the apartment door behind him, locking it with a spare set of keys, putting them into his pocket, as he took out his phone.
[When I catalogue heroines, I scan them. I am able to pick up their memories, and biology, meaning I can tell if they have a terminal illness.]
[When I compare the heroines bodies to yours, even Shoto's and Katsuki's, your body is weird in comparison, and it wasn't because of the fact you have two quirks, it is something else. It is as if your body is naturally different, I'm not sure if I'm doing this or you're just born this way.]
[So, I don't think you will die by having two quirks. It might be an ability of mine, to make sure you don't die, since you are a dating sims protagonist.]
It... was a very distinct possibility, there was some instances where Izuku could agree with his quirk, mainly when he broke his bones, and didn't feel any pain immediately, as a matter of fact, the pain only really appeared before he was healed. That point was weak, since adrenaline could have numbed the pain, but that meant one thing, Izuku really needed to know the passive effects Dating Sims had on his body.
"There, the text is done." Softly mumbled Izuku, shoving his phone back into his hoodie's pocket, and started walking, letting the cold night air cool him down from his vision, which honestly terrified Izuku. "I doubt All Might is awake, but he will see it in the morning." Softly hummed Izuku, closing his eyes as he walked, the directions to the beach was practically muscle memory at this point, so Izuku wasn't concerned as he walked with his eyes closed.
Focusing on the burning inferno beneath his skin, that was One For All, Izuku could feel the raw power in it, the power to destroy so much with one punch, the power to change the weather, and so much more. A taunt rope tugged at his gut, making Izuku roll his eyes beneath their eyelids, as he continued sauntering forward, heading to the beach where the heroine was.
It felt familiar, most likely one of the girl's from his class, who he managed to avoid cataloguing, and for once, Izuku didn't care, if his guess was accurate, the girl was at the beach at 3 in the morning, doing who knows what, so Izuku decided to join her. Walking to the beach was peaceful, his phone didn't make a noise, no cars drove by, and it was completely silent, letting Izuku think as he walked towards the heroine.
Replaying his conversation with the green eyed man, Izuku chewed the inside of his cheek, he would be awakening 6 new quirks in the future, all of them being charged into a completely new state, thanks to One For All's stockpiling aspect. Rolling his eyes, Izuku would need All Might to do the next piece of work, to create a list of all of the previous holders of One For All and their quirks, so Izuku wouldn't be surprised by what would come.
Focusing on One For All, Izuku could feel the intense inferno of power, that could only be compared to a star within him, and then started trying to get beneath the surface of the quirk's power, trying to find something that could give him some hints. The taunt rope around his gut tugged once again, forcing Izuku to stop his investigation, looking at the direction of where the rope had tugged him, which was where the lone person on the beach was standing.
Millions of grains of sand flew around her pale features, which were barely illuminated by the moonlight, her silver hair shining, being brought out by the darling settings and peaceful night. She was in 1-A, Yanagi Reiko, the girl who didn't show any emotions on her face apparently lived close enough to the beach, where she felt comfortable enough to be there at 3:10 in the morning.
Now walking over to her, Izuku stayed quite as he could vaguely make out a soft pink glow around the sand, watching as she was busy focusing on it, moving multiple streams of sand grains in multiple directions. It was oddly peaceful, listening to the waves lapping at the beach shore, sand rustling, and hearing Yanagi panting from exhaustion.
"I wouldn't have expected you to be up so early." Slowly commented Izuku, blanching as a stream of sand shot towards him, forcing Izuku to scrabble backwards, the sand freezing just before it would have hit his face. "I'm Midoriya Izuku, I'm in your class." Awkwardly greeted Izuku, he was a bit too tired to stammer, Dating Sims was definitely helping him in that department, it was nice not having to stutter his way though a conversation.
Yanagi took a moment, looking at Izuku in confusion, as she pulled the sand away from Izuku, letting it fall back down in a heap on the beach, while trying to remember him. She nodded at Izuku, recalling who Izuku was, and knew for a fact that he was in her class.
"Yanagi Reiko." Softly introduced the girl, bringing her elbows up to her chest and letting her hands dangle slightly, looking like an ancient zombie from some of videos Izuku had seen. "I wasn't aware that you had difficulty sleeping as well." Calmly noted Yanagi, not a hint of emotion on her voice, as time came to a standstill for Izuku, making him roll his eyes.
[A) I just like the silence.]
[B) Just had a bad dream.]
[C) I'm a night owl.]
[D) How could I even think of sleeping when I'm near such a pretty girl?]
Izuku took a minute to think, his quirks were slowly damaging him, it was a case of the hardware, his body, couldn't keep up with the strain the software, his quirks, was putting on him. Chewing on the inside of his cheek, Izuku scanned over his options, deciding that maybe he should just go with it, maybe it was okay to make a fool of himself every now and then.
"How could I even think of sleeping when I'm near such a pretty girl?" Curiously asked Izuku, winking at Yanagi as the green haired teen sat down on the sand, bringing his knees up to his chest, while he winked at the girl. "So what are you doing up so late? Or is it early?" Confusedly mumbled Izuku, he wasn't sure when it started becoming late in the night or early in the morning, but it seemed appropriate to ask.
For once, the confidence Dating Sims gave him didn't surface, this time it was all Izuku.
"I cannot claim to understand why you flirt with me, but I appreciate your kind words Midorya." Idly answered Yanagi, slowly shuffling over to Izuku, sitting down on the sand nearby, a solid foot away from him though, but she seemed comfortable. "You know, you are the first person to ask a question I've been pondering." Amusedly commented Yanagi, Izuku took a moment to look at her, her face was still completely neutral, but Izuku could see a smiling tugging at her cheeks.
[Because of your idle chatter, you've gained Yanagi Reiko's interest! Yanagi Reiko route unlocked!]
[Yanagi Reiko: Spooky story fan]
[Relationship: Midnight companion: 0/100]
[Description: Yanagi Reiko, a fan of all things spooky and things that go bump in the night! She loves it when her heart starts pounding in excitement and fear, so perhaps you can become the thing that makes her heart start pounding whenever she sees you?]
"Eh? Great minds think alike as they say." Softly chuckled Izuku, smiling at Yanagi, as he lazily started pulling upon the power of One For All, trying to at least get a feel for the quirk. "So, what are you doing out so late?" Curiously questioned Izuku, he had seen Yanagi using her quirk, but he was curious to know what her quirk was, though he did know some of the basic aspects of her powers.
"Quirk training, mine is called Poltergeist, it allows me to manipulate anything nearby, as long as it weight is equal to or less than 62kg/137 pounds." Robotically explained Yanagi, watching as Izuku's right hand was twitching about, as if he was writing something down, making her raise a brow. "What are you doing?" Curiously questioned Yanagi, looking at Izuku's right hand, as it was acting as if he was writing an essay.
"Huh?" Confusedly gawked Izuku, looking at his right hand, seeing it randomly moving about as if he was writing something down, as his mind clicked, realizing what he was doing. "Hehe, sorry. I have a habit of taking down notes on people's quirks... guess I'm starting to do this now whenever someone talks about their." Embarrassedly chuckled Izuku, bringing up his right hand to his neck, and slowly started rubbing it, while his face started heating up.
[She thinks you are cute for your weird habits! +10 relationship with Yanagi Reiko!]
"I won't tell anyone about your quirk." Slyly informed Yanagi, causing Izuku to blink slowly, watching Yanagi smile at her own pun, making Izuku snort like a pig.
"That's a good one." Honestly admitted Izuku, taking a brief second to look upwards, pointing up at the crescent moon, that was clear in the sky, and it was peaceful, as no two nights had the same moon, each night had a different moon in a sense, since each was beautiful, but only so much of it was revealed. "The moon is probably the second most beautiful things here." Gently huffed Izuku, looking at Yanagi and winking at her, making the girl snort a second later, as both teens realized how cheesy it was.
[What an attempt! She actually liked how cheesy it was! +12 relationship with Yanagi Reiko!]
No two nights had the same shaped moon... it was the same with people, no two people were absolutely identical, and that sadly meant, Izuku was no All Might. It was a somewhat sad split second realization for the emerald eyed teen, quickly morphing his newly forming frown into a grin, as his eyes landed on the silver haired girl.
'When the Sports Festival is here, I'll tell the world that I am here! The successor of All Might, and I'll prove to everyone by being my own sort of hero.' Determinedly decided Izuku, he would still be the hero he dreamed of being, but he would do it his own way, especially when all of the quirks within him will be awakening. 'I'll need All Might to tell me what the quirks of the previous users were.' Mentally noted Izuku, the bare bones of a plan had started forming in his head, a quick pace and solid fighting style, that he would create.
"Do you want to do some training before we have to start getting ready for school?" Interestedly questioned Yanagi, only receiving a nod from Izuku, as he pushed himself off of the sand, green sparks leaping from his body.
"Do you think you can keep up with me?" Confidently asked Izuku, shifting his stance, before immediately being knocked over by a wave of sand rushing up his left leg, forcing a mouthful of sand into Izuku's mouth. "Never mind." Awkwardly mumbled Izuku, realizing that he was in fact out of his element, since Yanagi could manipulate a lot of sand.
(Time-skip)
Izuku's head slammed onto his desk, Ida was about to say something, but the fact Izuku held up one hand made him reconsider, since Izuku was early, even by Ida's standards. It had only turned 7:30, meaning there was still a hour until homeroom would even start, and so far it was only Izuku and Ida in the class, as well as a yellow sleeping bag beneath Aizawa's desk.
"Problem Child, go to the nurses office. The yellow oaf has made an appointment for you after what you've said." Loudly grumbled Aizawa, in other words All Might had spoken to Recovery Girl, and now Izuku needed to go get some tests done. "Yellow oaf has also gotten you the list you asked for." Idly added on Aizawa, Izuku wouldn't lie, it was kind of impressive of how dead inside Aizawa sounded, especially since that was the exact same position he had been in when Izuku had left the classroom the other day.
'How does he do it?' Curiously mused Izuku, pulling out his number 13 notebook out from his bag, as well as a pen, before Izuku opened up his notebook and started walking, scratching his head with the butt of his pen. "Okay." Distractedly mumbled Izuku, beginning to write down what he could recall about Yanagi's quirk, since Izuku didn't even have to try and remember what vestiges had said.
It was nice that All Might had been able to do everything so quickly for him, Izuku would admit that he never expected his life to become so hectic, and he still had to tell his mother about Dating Sims and One For All, but that was a problem for future Izuku. Making his way through the deserted hallways of U.A, Izuku was busy scribbling down what he knew about Yanagi's quirk, what her limits were, while writing down various questions.
'Can she lift as many objects as she wants, as long as they weigh less than her limit?' Interestedly questioned Izuku, a warm breeze blowing against his face, making Izuku look up at the source, already knowing exactly where the heroine was. "Mei?" Loudly gasped Izuku, he hadn't expected Mei to be here so early, he didn't get to see her yesterday, but it was a welcomed surprised.
[You really don't care about formalities, do you? +7 relationship with Hatsume Mei!]
"IZU! YOU'RE IN QUICKLY! TO THE SUPPORT ROOM!" Excitedly squealed Mei, throwing herself at Izuku, her hands squeezing Izuku's biceps, as if she was curious about them, unaware that she was making Izuku blush.
"I can't." Meekly mumbled Izuku, putting his pen in his notebook and closing it up, only for Mei to snap it away a second later, rapidly flickering through the contents of the notebook, before a grin started forming on her face. "I've to go to Recovery Girl, so could I have my notebook back?" Kindly asked Izuku, holding out his right hand, since Mei had zero reason to keep his notebook.
She wasn't a bully, she was just weird.
"Nope." Simply answered Mei, popping the p as she did so, grinning at Izuku as she gently put it into the helm of her skirt without a care in the world, forcing Izuku to look away as quickly as he could, since Mei wasn't the sort of girl to wear tights, and Izuku knew hell would be raised if he saw anything, then the click in his head appeared.
[Photo added to gallery! The accidental flash!]
"Just hand it back to me at lunch, I need to run." Awkwardly huffed Izuku, his face still beet red, Izuku didn't waste a second in turning around from Mei, and stiffly started walking away from Mei, heading towards Recover Girl's office.
[She found the fact you didn't say anything about seeing her underwear choice nice! +20 relationship with Mei!]
Izuku could not have ran faster if he tried, that was the thing about seeing something you shouldn't have, you knew you would be in trouble if you mentioned it.
(Time-skip)
"You're right." Grimly concluded Recovery Girl, the entire examination procedure had only taken forty minutes in total, and only five for all of the results to be printed and made sense of, though Izuku wouldn't lie, it had felt like hours. "More quirk factors are appearing in your cells, so far there's enough quirk factor in each of your cells to make it seems like four quirks have already formed, meaning there's still four left." Idly explained Recovery Girl, two of the quirk factors had been identified in an instant, One For All and Dating Sims, but that was the good news.
"Young Midoirya, I'll hand you the notebook after this." Worriedly spoke All Might, currently in his skinny form, and the oversized suit on him almost made Izuku laugh, except the green haired dating sims protagonist was just a little bit preoccupied.
"Now for the news I hadn't been expecting." Honestly huffed Recovery Girl, Izuku blinked, even Izuku, the socially awkward teen, could identify the amazement in Recovery Girl's voice. "You aren't 'dying' dying, from what I've gathered so far, you are being internally damaged by One For All at a very slow rate, it would take decades before you even started noticing it, but your body is weird. It is as if the damaged cells in your body duplicate, only the damaged is repaired and the cell in question has grown stronger." Uncertainly explained Recovery Girl, causing both Izuku and All Might to blanch, they both had been expecting something a lot more grin.
"What do you mean by that?" Confusedly asked All Might, as Recovery Girl slid out of her chair, waddling over to a remote and pointed at a tv in the corner, before turning it on.
"This is just a projection based off of the data, but the more research I do, the more accurate this should be." Casually explained Recovery Girl, a small smile on her face, as green sheets appeared in front of Izuku's eyes.
[Izu-Kun! I think I know why you aren't dying!]
[It is because of me! You are a dating sims protagonist!]
That definitely explained everything, it was as if all of Izuku's issues were solved now... but that would be a lie.
Focusing on the tv, emerald eyes watched as red blood cells appeared on the tv, which was sped up to 20 times the original speeds, and everyone watched as green electricity started sizzling from the cell, slowly breaking it down. Everyone watched it for a few minutes, until the red blood cells had broken down to the point where it looked like a rotten orange, a few holes in it that shouldn't be there, seeping cytoplasm, and then something weird happened.
It was as if Izuku's blood cell had become digitalized, breaking down into 1s and 0s, reforming a minute later, which was most likely more than 20 minutes, before the 1s and 0s disappeared, leaving behind a red blood cell, that looked healthier than before, stronger even, only for the process to happen again. Once again the cell turned into something like a rotten orange, but this time all of the holes were just a minuscule amount smaller than they had been.
[Izu-Kun! Your body has taken on the properties of a dating sims protagonist! How many Dating Sims have you played where the dating sims protagonist has gotten sick or was ill?]
[I think I do a lot more than actually catalogue girls for you, you make them fall in love, and I make your body somewhat digital-like. I think that means you can't get sick anymore, and it also explains why you only feel the pain of breaking a bone for a few seconds!]
[It will take time, but I think eventually you'll be immune to the decay effect One For All is having on you!]
"That makes a lot more sense now." Exasperatedly sighed Izuku, it would most likely take a few years before he is completely immune to the decay effect, but Izuku could live with it.
Then the bell signifying the start of homeroom happened, and Izuku realized that he was late, he was going to be so late that it wasn't even going to be funny.
(Time-skip)
"Midoriya, what time do you call this?" Dryly questioned Aizawa, snapping close his registration book, taking note of everyone who was in, which was everyone, and Izuku couldn't help but roll his eyes, Aizawa already knew this.
Luckily Izuku had the notebook All Might had made in his right hand, and the green haired dating sims protagonist was so looking forward to it when he had the time. Staring at his teacher, both were silent, but knew why Izuku was late, and Aizawa was doing this to get a rise out of Izuku.
[Lets make an excuse!]
[A) Sorry Sir, but I got lost on the road of life.]
[B) A black cat crossed my shadow on the way here, so I had to take long away around.]
[C) 8:37.]
[D) I was with Recovery Girl, I broke a finger.]
Izuku was fairly certain he had heard the first excuse from a show when he had been younger, the second would make everyone believe he was superstitious, the third could be seen as defiant, and the fourth was the closest one to the truth. But, Izuku at least wanted to get back at Aizawa for calling him out, since the man who looked as if he lived beside a dumpster knew what was up, so Izuku picked A.
"Sorry Sir, but I got lost on the road of life." Apologetically huffed Izuku, shrugging his shoulders while giving a slight bow, doing his best to look nonchalant about the whole ordeal, while sauntering towards his seat. 'I'm so dead later.' Easily concluded Izuku, sitting down on his seat, well aware of the fact that everyone was looking at him, some in annoyance and others in respect.
[Such nonchalance! They find that cool! +3 relationship with every girl present!]
Izuku's eyes met Aizawa's eyes, his black eyes stared into Izuku's emerald green, completely devoid of all happiness and anger, which was frankly quite intimidating, but what was worse was the fact that Aizawa just looked disappointed. Slowly curling up on his seat, Izuku gulped audibly, seeing that Aizawa was slowly smiling, and it wasn't a nice smile either, it was a creepy one that promised Izuku pain.
"We're working in pairs for this. You can choose who you work with, except the Problem Child and Yaoyorozu, you two will work together." Idly ordered Aizawa, making some of the students snigger at the fact Izuku had been singled out.
Izuku blanched as everyone started getting up and making their way over to someone else's desk, and Izuku honestly didn't know what he was supposed to do, so the green haired dating sims protagonist gathered his pencil case and a copy, just in case he would need them. Green eyes landed on Yaoyorozu, the girl who had the lowest relationship with him, which was sort of a blessing, but also something that could be a nuisance.
Yaoyorozu's eyes landed on Izuku, as the shorter boy awkwardly shuffled through the room, avoiding anyone who could have bumped into him with ease, all the while Izuku's face remained completely impassive, as the dating sims protagonist was trying to figure something out. It wasn't anything selfless, more so selfish, Izuku just wanted to be friends with the people in his class, without dragging half of the class into a love drama.
'If I include me, the source of the drama, that means a total of ten people in the possible love drama I could theoretically start.' Sadly concluded Izuku, as he closed in on Yaoyorozu's seat, putting his pencil case and notebook on Yaoyorozu's table, as she cocked a brow at him in curiosity. "Aizawa never said what we are doing, so can you tell me please?" Awkwardly asked Izuku, offering his best smile, doing his best to appear normal, since he was not normal by any stretch of the imagination.
Having a quirk that could change the weather with a single punch, check, have a quirk that made your life a dating sims game, check, have multiple quirks rapidly awakening inside of you, that can arguably be as strong as One For All in some way, check. What made matters worse, One For All was slowly getting stronger each day, it wouldn't be noticeable for months, but eventually Izuku's 5% would be equal to 6%, and All Might had theorized, that his 100% would be equivalent to Izuku's 90% currently, but that difference would increase with time.
"Ah, yes. Aizawa wants us to get to know each other, since we'll be having a heroic training exercise after break." Happily explained Yaoyorozu, looking at Izuku, who's eyes were slowly shining in glee for some reason. "That means talking about our quirks, you can go first if you like." Politely added Yaoyorozu, who was utterly confused by the fact Izuku looked giddy when she mentioned quirk.
"My quirk is energy stockpiling. I slowly stockpile energy in my body, which I can use to enhance myself with. It gets stronger by itself overtime, but my body has to be trained regularly in order to handle a mere fraction of its power." Hurriedly explained Izuku, that was basically One For All, a stockpile quirk, that did get stronger overtime. 'Now all I have to do is explain each quirk as they come up.' Logically concluded Izuku, which should hopefully be easy enough to explain, especially if they were energy based.
"My quirk is Creation, I can create anything I know the chemical formula for, though it requires lipids to do so, and the larger the object, the more time and energy it takes to make." Casually explained Yaoyorozu, she honestly didn't expect Izuku to get what that meant, most people understood the basics of what her quirk was capable of, and that was it.
"So you could create weapons created out of diamonds, which would bolster the weapon's endurance?" Rapidly questioned Izuku, the barest hint of One For All being active sparked free from Izuku's hand, as his body was writing down his thoughts on Yaoyorozu's quirk. "Does that mean you can organic parts as well? Or can you create inorganic stuff?" Hurriedly added Izuku, his hand a blur, as he began solely focusing on the girl in front him, and what her quirk meant.
"I can only create inorganic materials, but I'm able to create somethings that come from various organisms, like ethanol from corn." Excitedly spoke Yaoyorozu, mentally cataloguing the idea of diamond creation Izuku had given her, while her view on Izuku slowly changing, since he was a lot smarter than he came off as.
"What about anything related to nuclear radiation?" Cautiously asked Izuku, though while Izuku wasn't an expert in nuclear radiation, he knew that it was incredibly dangerous.
"Yep, though my parents have thought me extensively of what it is capable of, so I will not be using it, unless there is a crisis that truly needs it." Slowly explained Yaoyorozu, watching Izuku carefully as he seemed to tense up, and his eyes focusing on something in front of him, even though Yaoyorozu couldn't see it.
'I have been ignoring the notifications for too long.' Awkwardly decided Izuku, taking a brief glance at the clock behind him, telling Izuku that the time had flown by, being too enthralled by the fact that Yaoyorozu must have the versatile quirk in existence.
[For being so invested in her, your relationship with Yaoyorozu has increased by +3!]
[She's happy that someone actually realizes what her quirk is truly capable of! +6 relationship with Yaoyorozu!]
[You have given her an idea, and she appreciates it because it will be a huge help! +7 relationship with Yaoyorozu!]
[Due to your quick mind, Yaoyorozu wants to get to know you better by herself! Your current relationship with Yaoyorozu has been automatically maxed out due to her desire to pick at your brain!]
[Yaoyorozu Momo: The damsel]
[Relationship: Not quite what she thought (Stage 2): 0/100]
[Description: Yaoyorozu Momo, a girl born into the upper class of society, with a quirk to match. Yaoyorozu is jealousy of those who can act so freely and didn't seem as if the pressure was actually effecting them, and she needs help. She needs to know that she is okay, that she is enough.]
That was a lot more grim than Izuku had been expecting, Izuku wasn't a fool, he was well aware of the fact that quirks could have cons, just as they could have their pros. Some people suffered from quirk addictions, which was when a person's quirk forced them to do stuff they wouldn't normally do, an example would be someone with a vampire-like quirk going on a rampage, due to the lack of blood intake.
But it seemed as if the pressure was coming from her parents instead, which made the situation a bit more delicate, since this wasn't something Izuku could solve with a punch, it would require something more delicate. Green eyes lighted up, Izuku knew he would most likely regret this, not because he didn't want to do this, but there was a large possibility that Yaoyorozu's could develop a crush on him.
Izuku would help her, or break down in tears trying, and Izuku wasn't certain which one was more likely to happen.
(Time-skip)
Idly looking at the rice on his plate, Izuku was trying to feel excited for the next class, which was something to do with actually heroics training, but Izuku simply find the urge, since there was a more immediate issue, where he would sit. Green eyes darted across the cafeteria, trying to identify somewhere he could sit, somewhere where there would be no heroine to catalogue, since Izuku could feel a good few heroines he had and hadn't catalogued yet in the cafeteria, and the number was a lot higher than he had been expecting.
11 heroines in total were in the cafeteria...
"MIDOIRYA! HAVE A SEAT OVER HERE!" Boisterously shouted Ida, not aware of the fact that Izuku had purposely trying not to sit there, since both Ochaco and Yaoyorozu was sitting there as well, and if Izuku was correct, there was room for more people as well. "IT SEEMS HE HASN'T HEARD ME! I SHALL GO OVER TO HIM AND ASK, SINCE IT IS QUITE LOUD IN THE CAFETERIA!" Cheerfully announced Ida, oblivious to the fact that Izuku was slowly dying inside, since a lot of people were slowly looking at him.
It was if the the Grim Reaper was coming towards him, Izuku didn't know why, but he instinctively knew, that this lunch break would feel a lot longer than it had any right of being. Robotically Ida marched over to Izuku, and started to gently guide his green haired friend towards the table, smiling as he did so, since Ida was happy to have such friends.
'Ida has to learn how to read a person's mood.' Immediately decided Izuku, well aware of the fact that he might be smiling, it wasn't because he was happy, it was from the fact he was still trying to comprehend how oblivious Ida was. "Hello Yaoyorozu, Ochaco, and Ida. Thank you for inviting me." Politely greeted Izuku, giving a small bow towards his friends, all that was missing was Itsuka, and then he would have had all his friends at the same table.
"There is no need for thanks Midoriya! You are a friend, so of course I shall help you!" Pleasantly informed Ida, shuffling around, so Izuku was sitting beside Yaoyorozu and Ochaco, while Ida sat on the opposite side of the table, smiling as if he had done something impressive.
"Oh yeah, Ida call me Izuku, we are friends after all. You too Momo." Idly commented Izuku, his mind catching up to what he had just said, and Izuku wanted nothing more that to slam his head on the table, and disappear. 'Why do I not think before I talk.' Mentally berated Izuku, his green eyes catching sight of both Momo and Tenya, both of whom looked somewhat surprised by the request.
[For being so casual, +5 Charm!]
Charm: 30
Intelligence: 14
Aura: 44
His stats were getting a lot higher, yet they were clearly lopsided...
"Mid- I mean Izuku! I am honored that you think we are such good friends! I shall gladly use your name, and you have to do the same!" Proudly declared Tenya, his arms swinging around wildly, which Izuku assumed to be some habit in order to express his emotions.
[+3 relationship with Momo!]
"Ahem, what do you think our first heroic training class will consist of?" Curiously questioned Momo, smiling at her group of friends, with a small blush on her face, which was most definitely from embarrassment.
Izuku would have loved nothing more than to answer Momo's question, even if it was to distract him from the amount of heroines nearby, but a notebook hovering in front of his face made him pause, as well as something soft resting against the back of his head. Slowly blinking, Izuku realized it was his notebook that Hatsume had 'borrowed' from him, and now that it was in front of him, it meant she was done with it, then Izuku's teenage brain concluded what the large, soft things behind his head were.
'Boobs.' Mentally decided Izuku, there was no other logical explanation for it, Tenya looked a bit embarrassed, Ochaco just blanched, and Momo looked confused, and surprisingly, Izuku wasn't a bubbling mess. "Thanks for returning my notebook Hatsume." Calmly noted Izuku, the green haired dating sims protagonist was on autopilot, having not expected for something like this to happen, especially what he saw earlier from the girl.
"How did you know it was me?" Childishly whined Hatsume, the world came to a standstill, as multiple choices on how to answer that question came up, and Izuku was grateful for some time to process what had just happened.
[A) You're boobs were a good giveaway.]
[B) I can smell oil off of you, and you're the only support course student I know.]
[C) How could I forget you, Mei?]
[D) I remembered you borrowing my notebook early.]
The first choice was arguably the worst, since it would make Izuku look like Mineta, which was worse than being a Deku. The second choice was logical, since Izuku did smell oil off of her, as well as some smoke. The third choice was actually pretty decent, it was smooth, and it would definitely get a reaction out of her, but it would mean using her given name without permission. Lastly, the fourth option, it was just bland.
'The fourth option is likely not to increase my relationship with Hatsume.' Immediately decided Izuku, taking a moment to turn around while everyone else was frozen, and took a look at Mei, who was leaning over the back of the seat, resting where he was.
She was smiling, her yellow eyes sparkled in excitement at something, while she balanced her tray with her left hand, and dangled the notebook with her right hand. She was pretty, it was something every heroine had in common, but Hatsume was arguably the one who would stand out the most compared to the ones Izuku had already catalogued.
A plain black tank top was covering her upper body, bits and pieces of grease and oil covering her tank top and arms, with her workshop overalls tied casually around her waist, which the overalls were quite baggy while covering her legs, and some safety goggles on her head. If Izuku was completely honest, he felt lucky seeing Mei like this, the dating sims protagonist truly thought Mei was captivating.
"How could I forget you, Mei?" Rhetorically asked Izuku, his eyes only closed for a brief second, but the moment Izuku opened up his eyes, he was back in the place where he had been before time froze over.
[That was pretty smooth! +4 Charm and Aura!]
[For using your head, your intelligence had increased! +5 Intelligence!]
[You made her blush! +7 relationship with Mei!]
Everyone went silent, now that Izuku realized it, a lot of people had actually went silent, and Izuku could clearly hear a lack of noise in the cafeteria of all places, which was a bit concerning. Titling his head to the side in confusion, Izuku was doing his best to fight down a blush, while Mei awkwardly dropped Izuku's notebook into his lap, as she slowly made her way towards Tenya, and sat opposite Izuku.
Noise erupted in the cafeteria, a lot of people simply didn't care about what had just happened, but someone people stared over at the table, where Izuku was sitting, and was eyeing the green haired teen. Meanwhile, the table where Izuku was sitting at was slightly off, Ochaco and Momo were silently communicating with the other via their eyes, Mei was trying to calm her blushing face, and Tenya was being Tenya.
"Tenya, you're related to Ingenium, aren't you?" Curiously huffed Izuku, purposefully trying to direct the conversation somewhere, as long as it wasn't the awkward silence, Izuku would gladly talk about it.
If only Izuku's that luck was actually that good...
"Hey Izuku, why do you flirt so much with girls?" Inquisitively questioned Ochaco, staring at Izuku, while Tenya slowly lowered his arms, since he was about to happily explain his relationship with the hero Ingenium.
[Good luck Izu-Kun!]
Staring wide eyed for a second, Izuku realized Dating Sims wasn't going to help him, meaning the socially awkward teen would have to explain the situation himself, and to be honest, Izuku was not looking forward to it. Logically speaking, he couldn't tell them that he had two quirks, since that was impossible, with the exceptions of Izuku himself and the first One For All user's brother.
"Ummm." Awkwardly hummed Izuku, trying to think of an explanation, his intelligence, which wasn't linked to Dating Sims, was failing him, and Izuku would admit, he thought he was smarter than the average person. "I dunno." Sheepishly admitted Izuku, nervously rubbing the back of his neck, and hiding his face, as he started tearing into his food, noting the fact that break would be over soon, and he had barely eaten.
Not even a second later did the bell ring, Izuku was thanking whatever deity of luck had blessed him for this opportunity to not answer that question, since talking about Dating Sims would make things awkward. Hurriedly putting his notebook beneath his arm, Izuku easily balanced his plate of food with his left hand, as the teen awkwardly shuffled through the cafeteria, avoiding every other heroine, since Ochaco's words still played on his mind.
Why do you flirt so much with girls? If Izuku was lucky, by the time the Sports Festival came around, he wouldn't be known as a casanova by his classmates, as well as the rest of Japan.
(Time-skip)
The males changing room, a place where testosterone was mainly rampant, except for when there was barely any males in the class, not even making up the halfway mark. It was fact that the female to male ratio in 1-A was heavily skewered, 13:7, almost a 2:1 ratio.
Looking around the changing room, where each male was putting the finishing touched to their hero outfits, Izuku couldn't help but feel as if he was incredibly bland compared to each male. Not that Izuku thought of himself as ugly, average perhaps, maybe a cute sort of average due to his freckles, but despite liking girls, Izuku would admit, each of his fellow male classmates were eye-catching.
Todoroki Shoto, son of Endeavour, a unique hair color, red and white, as well as a scar over his left eye, and the fact they were different colored eyes was also very interesting.
Bakugou Katsuki, a gremlin from hell, loud and proud, he definitely had the bad boy personality, and was quite explosive while also being one of the smarter people in the class.
Kirishima Eijiro, Izuku didn't know much about him, but he could tell that Kirishima would be there for you, and was incredibly reliable, it also helped that his hair made people look at him.
Kaminari Denki, unique hair which matched his quirk, he was also a bit of a playboy as well, a similarity Izuku didn't want to share with the teen, not that it was bad, but Izuku would rather not be known as a playboy.
Ida Tenya, tall, broad, reliable, and knew what it meant to be a hero, he was also the younger brother of a hero, and would stick through your side through thick and thin.
Tokoyami Fumikage, the mysterious boy who practically scream goth and edgelord, he seemed distant, but no doubt would take time to open up, but it would be worth it.
'Why am I thinking this?' Confusedly mused Izuku, shaking his head from side to side, nodding at Tenya as their eyes briefly met, one teen was in a suit of armor, the other was in an outfit his mother made for him.
"Midorya, are you supposed to be a bunny?" Curiously gawked Kirishima, casually lumbering up to Izuku, waving at the green haired teen, as he put the finishing touches to his costume.
"No?" Uncertainly answered Izuku, since he definitely did not intend on his hero outfit to remind someone of a rabbit, could they not tell it was clearly based off of All Might?
"Ah." Awkwardly answered Kirishima, an awkward silence filling the male's changing room, since some of the males were curious about reaching out to one another, especially since there was such a large difference in genders.
[Izu-Kun, I'm doing you a favor here, so appreciate it.]
[A) You remind me of Crimson Riot!]
[B) Am I the only one getting hard here?]
[C) I think you are the manliest man in the history of manly men.]
'Quick!' Mentally berated Izuku, time hadn't come to a halt this time, making Izuku mentally note the fact it was heroine exclusive, and that Dating Sims apparently had the power to make small talk, small victories it seems. "I think you are the manliest man in the history of manly men." Amazedly informed Izuku, who was currently beyond embarrassed, and curling up in a hole and forgetting about his life sound more than appealing towards the dating sims protagonist.
[+2 Charm!]
Izuku twitched, something that was warranted in the grand scale of things, considering Kirishima looked as if he had been given a puppy, and loved the thing at first contact. Kirishima merely nodded at Izuku, obviously too emotional to speak at the moment, which Izuku was grateful for, since everyone besides Tenya was giving him an odd look.
[Title unlocked! Manly bro! You're a manly man? You're also Kirishima's best bro!]
[Achievement unlocked! Bro's: Get yourself a bro! X2 relationship increase with Mina!]
"Bro... I know we just met, but if you need ANYTHING don't be afraid to contact me." Sincerely choked out Kirishima, handing Izuku piece of paper, that had the red head's phone number on it, and Izuku squinted, Kirishima did not have that in his hand a second ago.
"Bravo Izuku! You are truly someone I inspire to be like! Being able to touch the hearts of those around you! Truly a trait any hero should have!" Proudly announced Tenya, walking over to Izuku and Kirishima, with resolve clear in his eyes, despite them being hidden behind a helmet.
[If it makes you feel better, if Katsuki was a heroine I'd have to create make a negative stage now.]
[Sheesh, he practically screams danger...]
'If I break a bone, then maybe I can leave.' Sophisticatedly concluded Izuku, nodding to himself at the brilliant idea, just before a soft rustling sound reached Izuku's ears, making the green haired teen slowly look towards the source.
It was a wall, a wall that separated the males from the females, and there was noise coming directly from the other side of it, truly suspicious, but it wasn't as if girls were spying on them or anything.
[She finds your kind words to Kirishima reassuring! +3 relationship with Mina! X2 = +6!]
"MINA!" Awkwardly screeched Izuku, feeling the necessary urge to put both of his hands over his groin, turning away from the wall as he did so, unaware of the fact that everyone present rose a brow in curiosity.
(Time-skip)
"HAHA! MARVELOUS! SIMPLY MARVELOUS! THEY DO SAY THE CLOTHES MAKE THE HERO! AND YOU, MY STUDENTS, DEFINITELY LOOK THE PART!" Boisterously chuckled All Might, who looked quite pleased with himself, trying to hide his full blown laughter ever since he had seen Izuku.
'Hey Dating Sims, how could you tell that Kacchan was dangerous?' Curiously questioned Izuku, tuning out All Might somewhat, though he was still aware of the fact that this hero exercise would consist of two sides, hero and villains, with ten teams in total, 5 would be heroes and the other would be villains.
[The same way geese know how to fly in a V formation, instinct.]
[It also might help to know that I've realized that I'm kinda messing with the new quirk factors within your body. I'm trying to assimilate them inside of me, so your body will adapt quicker and hopefully not die from the sheer stress being out upon it.]
[If it makes you feel better, I'm currently 6% done with one quirk, I haven't even touched the others at this point. The quirk I'm done with is called Danger Sense, it detects danger nearby you.]
"FOR THE FIRST TEAMS TO ENTER THE BUILDING! MAY THE HEROES, MIDOIRYA IZUKU AND TSUNOTORI PONĪ WAIT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, WHILE THE VILLAINS, TODOROKI SHOTO AND BAKUGOU KATSUKI ENTER THE BUILDING." Happily declared All Might, unaware of the fact that Izuku was frozen still for a few reasons, and only one of them could be seen at somewhat good.
The good one was that Dating Sims was assimilating the quirk factors inside of him, which now gave him a limited and weaker version of Danger Sense, which was nice. Then the bad things were, the fact he was paired with a heroine he hadn't catalogued yet, and he and Tsunotori had to fight the two strongest people in the class.
Shakily looking about, emerald green eyes met ruby red, a sickeningly pleased grin slowly started spreading across Bakugou's face, making Izuku gulp audibly, while nervously adjusting the mouth guard of his costume, which looked similar to a smile. Breaking the stare-off, Izuku took a look around the gathered class, meeting Todoroki's indifferent stare, as if the dual haired teen was merely staring at a bug.
"He... hello?" Uncertainly greeted a girl, making Izuku leap slightly, time was slowly coming to a halt, as Izuku's focus landed on his partner, Tsunotori Ponī, who's uncertain look made Izuku gulp, again, before time stopped.
[A) Hello! Midorya Izuku, reporting for duty!]
[B) You ready to get all sweaty and bothered?]
[C) You are Tsunotori Ponī, yeah?]
[D) Your horns are really cute.]
"Just when I thought that things were looking my way." Wearily sighed Izuku, his quirk was starting to help him by healing his body and absorbing the various quirk factors within One For All, and then it pulls stuff like this.
That's a wrap people!
As you can see, I am sticking with what the manga says about One For All users having an original quirk along with OFA, which slowly kills them due to the strain on the body, or something like that. I'm still uncertain how long this fic will be, since I'm still finalizing all of the heroines, and there is the possibility there'll be more than 13, the original amount I specified on, though there would not be many more.
The update schedule, as I have decided will be monthly, but I cannot guarantee, since I'll be starting college, and my life will be more hectic than normal. Next chapter, I will hopefully have a list of all the heroines, who will be included!
(Omake: The DLC)
[I have successfully downloaded the DLC!]
Izuku did not like what he just read, since he most certainly did not ask for anything to be downloaded, nor did he know that Dating Sims could be download anything. Against his better judgment, which Izuku seemed to be going against a lot, the green haired dating sims protagonist wearily pressed down on the screen.
[Now, I can catalogue everyone, who has a think for small, green haired, cute people!]
[Please give me a moment to pull up all of the data!]
An uneasiness settled in Izuku's gut, this was the first time he had ever seen Dating Sims underline something, which meant that it must be extremely important. Gulping at the thought, Izuku mentally braced himself for something, that would most likely make him cry.
[Bakugou Katsuki: Childhood friend]
[Relationship: N-N-notice me! Baka! (Stage 4): 12/100]
[Description: The childhood friend who's a Tsundere, who was confused since early childhood about the feelings he felt towards useless Deku, so that was why he bullied him, to get his attention! Now, Kacchan doesn't know what to do, since he assumes you hate him.]
Oh...
[Kirishima Eijiro: Bro]
[Relationship: Bro close you're eyes and tell me what you see, cuz that's what I feel without you! (Stage 3): 37/100]
[Description: Bros before hoes...]
'That is incredibly long relationship description.' Awkwardly noted Izuku, his mind had shut off his emotions, since that was the only thing keeping him fainting from the shock of this revelation, not that he didn't appreciate the feelings sent towards him.
[Aizawa Shouta: Teacher]
[Relationship: Student and teacher: 83/100]
[Description: Aizawa Shota, a man who works lates and never plays, giving his complete attention to his work, simply because he doesn't care about anyone in that way. If only someone could help thaw out his heart.]
Why did the last one seem vaguely familiar for the green haired dating sims protagonist?
Now, Izuku had to thread delicately, since his childhood friend loved him and his bro had a crush on him, and with that, a burning fire of determination entered Izuku's eyes, as he picked up his phone and started typing, since this was something he should have done a long time ago. Nodding to himself in satisfaction, Izuku hit send without a second thought, Nezu would understand, arranging the classes so Izuku could learn how to control his quirk in that way was cruel.
"MOM! I'M QUITTING U.A!" Loudly shouted Izuki, hearing a loud thump come from the kitchen a second later.
End!
If you have any recommendations for an omake, please leave them in the comments please!
See ya next time!
SpudLord!
