A/N:Apparently people liked this...that's great! Anyways this took a while, mostly because It's hard to fit the memory shit into the QAT or really any of the earlier MHA events without me just going "RANDOM BULLSHIT, GOOO"
So I just went with the generic option
This chapter has less action and it's more of a world building chapter if anything
The QAT isn't in this chapter btw, it's in the next one
Btw if you guys have ANY criticism then please, leave a review! Even if it's something minor like a spelling mistake!
TW:Implied Rape...but not really? Eh idk you can decide if you want to be mad or not when you see it
Anyways...Enjoy, I guess!
Midoriya woke up feeling like...well...honestly feeling like shit
But that's been the case ever since the Entrance Exam...for various reasons
The obvious reason is that Midoriya feels guilty about failing to get a single point even with OFA
It's been eating away at him, and the fact that All Might isn't replying to his texts didn't exactly help
And While that may be one of the reasons it definitely isn't the biggest
While Midoriya seemed pretty calm about the fact that...you know...he saw someone else's memories...that calmness was very temporary and the matter soon became his first priority after he finished falling to his death, because- and this may surprise you- but seeing someone else's memories is not normal...well, unless you have a quirk that does tha- I am getting off topic here...
And sure, Midoriya might be overreacting but I'd like to see you stay calm when random memories, that are often lewd and are definitely not yours, start appearing in your dreams everyday and give you skills that you do not need at the age of 14
Midoriya still feels dirty and weird from the one time that he was in the woman's point of view...
A/N: Might seem a bit smutty...but nothing tooo explicit
'Oh...guess I am in the woman's body this time...wait...why am I laying on a bed?' Midoriya quickly took note of the fact that he was laying on a Queen sized bed...and wait didn't she say she had a husband- oh no
A man...who appeared to be in his early 30s...walked in to the room
And then the woman spoke...
"Kotaro...I- I want-..." the woman seems to be trying to gather the courage to say something
'Hey hey! No! Bad! You don't want anything! Come on Ms! Please do not do this to me I BEG you'
Midoriyas cries went unheard because...well this was a memory...
"Hm?" The man walked closer, he arrived at the side where the woman was laying and crouched "What do you want Nana?"
'Great I now have a name to curse for bringing me this suffering'
The man did the cliche thing that people do in romance stories where he makes the girl look into his eyes by grabbing her chin with his thumb, and then he leaned closer
'WOAH THERE! WAY TOO CLOSE! GET ME OUT! I DONT SWING THAT WAY!'
"Tell me...what you want" the man asked her
"Kotaro...I...w-want to take- I want to take you" she replied while basically panting
'NO! NO PLEASE! NOT LIKE THIS! GET ME OUT-...what the fuck is dripping in between...my legs...fuck..' Midoriya quickly remembered that he was in a girls body...and the owner of that body...was very aroused
"Well...if that's what you want...then I shall give it to you"
'WAIT NO! KEEP THAT ROBE ON, MR! I DO NOT CONSENT! HEEEELP- GAH'
In the morning, Midoriya woke up with a blush on his face and was definitely not questioning his sexuality
What skill did Midoriya learn from that memory you may ask? He learned how to do a handstand
Yeah that Nana girl is...or.. was a freak on the inside
So Midoriya finally got out of bed after rethinking his life choices, he brushed his teeth, took a shower, just did his usual morning routine
"Good Morning Mom!" Midoriya greeted his mom with a smile after coming downstairs
"Good Morning Izuku!" His mom greeted back
The Midoriya household for the past year had been empty, 90% of the time, with Inko Midoriya working from 6AM all the way to 11PM and only having Saturday off, and Izuku doing his training with All Might everyday before school and after finishing his studies and homework in the evening
Izuku honestly couldn't believe that his moms job is actually legal- 'how is making someone work for over 15 hours a day legal? HOW?' But after the collapse of society in the 21st century, many of the labor laws made in order to improve working conditions were voided and to this day, haven't been reinstated
Luckily enough for Inko, the job pays handsomely, a massive upgrade over her previous job which pretty much forced Hisashi to take the higher paying job overseas so that he could provide for both Izuku and Inko, with this new job, Hisashi might be able to come back to Japan in a few months, and while the thought excited Izuku, he didn't exactly want to trade one parent..for another
"So um...what's for breakfast...it actually smells...delicious" Izuku tried to open up a conversation
"Oh dear, are you implying that my cooking doesn't usually smell good?" Inko joked while pretending to be hurt
"W-what? N-No! Your food always smells gre- oh you were joking" Izuku finally realized that it was a joke after seeing her smirk
Inko giggled at her sons reaction
'He really needs to grow a spine- woah!...where did that come from?..' Inko frowned at the admittedly mean thought that invaded her head
She quickly ignored it tho and answered his question
"Well to answer your question...I am making tamagoyaki!" Inko said with a smile
"Ah! That's great, I love tamagoyaki!" Izuku quickly replied with his own smile like he was some sort of Child
"Also making some rice to go along with it, do you want some tea too, honey?"
"Oh, uh no thanks, I am going on a jog and it'll probably get cold by the time I am back"
"Ah that's a shame! Just hurry up so the food doesn't get cold too, okay?"
Midoriya grabbed a jacket and put on his red running shoes
"Will do, Mom!Goodbye!" Midoriya told her right before he left
"Stay safe!" She called out to him
But it seemed that was the inevitable conclusion to this
Midoriya could tell that his mother kind of...started to care less? He noticed some small things, shorter calls, shorter conversations and all around less interaction between the 2 of them
Two months ago they straight up didn't talk or see each other for 2 whole days...and 2 days eventually became 3 and that became 4 and that turned into everyday of the week except Saturday
Izuku would wake up, do his morning routine, make breakfast, go to the beach for his training, go to school, come back home, do his Homework, go back to the beach to train and then sleep when he comes back home
And sure while his mom was never the best mom, she was also never the worst and was always around so this kinda took a toll on Izuku...
So Midoriya tried to find something to take his mind off it
He realized that he really liked telling jokes (funny and unfunny) and by being active on multiple discable servers and random hero forums, he built up some confidence and used it to sort of...cope...with his problems
Eventually Midoriya learned to accept his loneliness and just continued as he would normally
He knew that this was gonna mess up his relationship with his mom if he didn't bring it up...and he will...eventually...
Midoriya came back from his jog to see his mom in tears
"M-Mom? What's going on?" He quickly ran over to her to check if she's been hurt
"I-Izuku! It's here! The letter from U.A!" She cried out
Izuku sighed in relief after being told it wasn't anything important-
Wait
'Wait'
"AHH- wait give me it! I'LL OPEN IT IN MY ROOM! GOODBYE" Midoriya quickly grabbed it and ran upstairs to his room
'So here it is...well...I-I already know my results...this is just to see if I made it into the Higher Education course...'
Oh right, Midoriya applied to 2 courses
The U.A application system allows you to apply to multiple courses and it actually forces you to apply to a secondary backup course, if you picked the hero course as your main course
So Midoriya applied to
The Hero Course
And The Higher Education Course
The latter is exactly what it says on the tin, the course is for the people who are just that extra bit smarter than the average student
Midoriya felt like he could pull it off at the time so he was pretty confident...before the exam
Well it's not the time to rethink your life choices! It's time to SEE YOUR RESULTS!
Midoriya took a deep breath
And opened it...'why is there a disc looking thing in her-'
BAM!!
Said disc looking thing jumped out of the envelope and hit him right in the nose
"GAH! MY NOSE! WHAT WAS THAT F-"
"I AM HERE!-"
"WHAT THE-"
In front of Midoriya was All Might... HOW
'I AM SO CONFUSED, WHAT IS HAPPENING'
"-AS A PROJECTION!"
"Oh...WAIT WHY ISNT THIS A LETTER FROM U.A?"
"SORRY FOR NOT REPLYING TO YOU SOONER, YOUNG MAN! BUT I HAD TO KEEP A TIGHT SEAL ON THINGS AS...YOU ARE! LOOKING AT THE NEWEST U.A FACULTY MEMBER! HAHAHAHA"
"Holy...shit All Might might be my teacher"
"-Wait what do you mean I am not the newest faculty member? They hired a higher eduction teacher last week? Well that's a shame BUT ITS FINE! BECAUSE WE NEED TO DISCUSS YOUR RESULTS!" All Might yelled even louder for that last bit
'Oh right'
"SO, WE WILL START WITH THE WRITTEN EXAM! AND FOR THAT I AM EXCITED TO SAY, THAT YOU MADE IT! EVEN IF YOU FLOPPED IN THE PRACTICAL, YOU WOULD STILL HAVE A SPOT IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION CLASS! SO CONGRATS ON MAKING IT TO UA! AND FOR YOUR SPECIFIC MARKS...YOU GOT...AN OUTSTANDING 96%! ONLY 1% LOWER THAN FIRST PLACE! WELL DONE!"
'I...I made it into U.A? I made it into U.A...'
"I MADE IT INTO U.A" Midoriya Screamed at the top of his lungs
Downstairs...his mother smiled with tears in her eyes...happy tears...
"NOW, ONTO YOUR PRACTICAL EXAM!"
'Oh right'
"YOU SCORED A WHOPPING...0 POINTS! WHICH WOULD MEAN, YOU DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE HERO COURSE!"
'Of course...I failed...I knew that already' and Midoriyas happy mood was ruined by that information
"OF COURSE...THAT WOULD BE THE CASE...IF THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO EARN POINTS IN THIS EXAM!"
"Wh-what?"
"YOUNG MIDORIYA, WATCH THIS!"
'Umm...MrPresent Mic sir...'
"T-The Nice Girl?"
'Yeah? What can I do for you little listener?'
'The kid with green curly hair..and freckles...he's kinda cute? The one who saved me...can I give him some of my points?I heard him mutter about not having enough points...and it'd be really stupid if someone like him didn't get into the school because they were wasting their time saving me..'
'Unfortunately We can't do that kiddo...but I wouldn't worry about him...we're a hero school after all'
"YOU SEE THAT YOUNG MAN? YOU INSPIRED SOMEONE WITH YOUR HEROIC SPIRIT! THATS SOMETHING ONLY A HERO DOES! AND BESIDES, WHAT KIND OF HERO SCHOOL WOULD WE BE, IF WE DIDNT AWARD THOSE WITH A CLEAR PASSION FOR HEROICS...IZUKU MIDORIYA!"
'No way...' Midoriya began crying...he couldn't believe what he was seeing
"WITH 0 VILLAIN POINTS...AND 53 RESCUE POINTS...YOU! MAKE IT IN! IN 9TH PLACE!...IZUKU MIDORIYA!"
Izuku can't believe it...he made it in to the hero course...
"THIS IS YOUR HERO ACADEMIA! I'LL BE SEEING YOU IN CLASS 1-A!" The hologram switched off...and the disc exploded..but Izuku didn't care!
He started balling his eyes out...he couldn't believe it...he can finally pursue his dream...years of being put down...being told he never had a chance...and he just proved to everyone...that they were wrong!
A few hours later
Midoriya pretty much ran straight to Dagoba beach as soon All Might texted him...without taking a single second to stop to take a breath
Midoriya panted, as he pretty much just sprinted a mini marathon...and All Might in his skinny form noticed him and started walking over
"YOUNG MAN! You made it- Jesus Christ kid! Did you sprint over here?"
"pant haah- y-yeah!- holy shit-" Midoriya really regretted doing that now
And then he felt fine
'Wh- what?'
"YOUNG MAN! Breathe! Let me see if I have some wat- WOAH KID!" All Might had wide eyes as he looked at Midoriya
"Wh- What!?"
"You're GLOWING"
'What? Is he jok-' Midoriya then looked down before he finished that thought and-
'HOLY SHIT I AM GLOWING'
"AHHH I AM GLOWING-"
"KID!" All Might quicklygrabbed his attention before he could spiral into a scared mess
"CALM. DOWN." All Might basically ordered Midoriya
"B-bu-but I am glowing!"
"CORRECTION! YOU WERE GLOWING"
and when Midoriya Looked down at his chest once again, he was indeed, not glowing anymore
After both of them finally calm down, All Might asks a question because he is so confused
"Um...what was that?" All Might asked, incredibly confused
"I- I thought you knew!" Midoriya replies feeling exasperated
"What? How would I know about that?" All Might sayswith a shocked expression
"Wasn't it your quirk?!"
"Well...Yes! But this never happened to me!"
"What do you mean this never happened to you?!?!!...oh god, please don't tell me that the memories are also new.." Midoriya started to get really worried now
"Wait what? What do you mean? Kid, memories are normal-"
"Not regular memories All Might" Midoriya quickly cut him off
"Uh...care to elaborate?" All Might now looked really confused
"Um...well..during the entrance exam...right before I went up against the zero pointer- you didsee that right?"
"Uh..Yes I did-"
"-right before I went up against the zero pointer...I had this...vision of sorts"
"Vision?" Now this intrigued All Might
"Yeah...I was in the body of someone named 'Toshi'"
This took All Might completely by surprise...that was...Nana's nickname for him..
"and he was talking to his...Teacher? Master? I am not sure, but I later learned that her name was Nana"
All Might choked on air after hearing that
"W-wait! Do you know who that is?" Midoriya quickly asked, desperate for answers
"Umm...how about you finish your story first? And then I'll tell you"
Midoriya was obviously disappointed by that answer but agreed anyways
"So- apparently this Toshi guy had broken his arm after using 100% of One For All"
All Might remembers breaking his arm quite a few times in his earlier years, so that's not really shocking
"And Nana scolds him and does all the things a regular mentor does...but then she tells him about a way to reduce the kickback-"
'Waaaaait...no I remember this...oh god...did Young Midoriya see?'
"See what?" Midoriya asked, confused
'Shit I said that out loud'
"Nothing young man! Continue!"
"Oh ok, the 'technique' was, using 100% without hitting the target...eventually, when the memory ended, it felt more like a flash that didn't even last a second...and I somehow knew how to do everything that was taught in the memory...almost perfectly...without actually doing it, in the end, it was useless as I still broke my arms.."
"I...don't know what to say to that young man! This never happened to me...or any of the previous holders, to my knowledge at least.."
"Well they're basically appearing every night now! Giving me useless skills...that I probably won't ever use...at this age at least" Midoriya whispered the last part
"What was that?"
"Nothing! Um- anyways! Weren't you supposed to tell me who they were?"
"It is a bit worrying...and it's honestly hard to believe without any evidence...but I can't really help you young man, this has never happened to me or any of my predecessors...oh right, I was supposed to tell you who they were!Well...the toshi fella is actually ME!"
And Midoriya almost puked on the spot
Whatever reaction All Might was expecting...it was definitely not that
"Um...Young Man are you okay?"
"Oh- uh- Um- YES! Just...very shocked.." Midoriya tried to look anywhere that wasn't All Might
"I...see...well then..and Nana was my predecessor..the 7th holder of One For All"
'THAT MAKES IT WORSE'
"Young man I do have to ask...did you see...anything weird..in that memory?"
'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck'
"Um...no! Nothing...nothing at all!" Izuku tried to look as innocent as possible
"Hmmm"
'Fuck...he definitely saw...'
"Well then! Moving on to other matters! Did you feel anything..when you were glowing earlier?"
"Um no...but something definitely changed...I was super tired from running...and when I started glowing, I suddenly stopped being tired? It was weird...it wasn't gradual, I was just...instantly energized"
"That's...even weirder...this also didn't happen to me- Young Man, are you sure you didn't have a quirk beforehand?" All Might was starting to get suspicious, this isn't something One For All was supposed to do
"Wh- What? All Might are you implying I lied to you? No! I have the medical records to prove it!" Midoriya kinda felt hurt that All Might thought that he lied to him about his quirklessness
"Now young man, I am not implying you lied to me, I am just asking in case you had an invisible quirk that you did not know about beforehand" All Might quickly explained
"Oh...I guess that makes more sense...but no I don't think I have an invisible quirk"
"Hmm..."
A comfortable silence overtook the two until Midoriya spoke up
"All Might..I want to apologize"
"What for, Young Midoriya?"
Midoriya took a deep breath
"I-...during the entrance exam...do you remember when I punched that robot? And then I just...sat around doing nothing?"
"Why yes, you worried me quite a bit at the time, and the judges actually gave you less points because you did nothing for most of the test"
"Oh- I see...well...that was the first time I ever tried to use One For All...and it didn't activate...and at the time I...I thought that you...lied to me"
'Oh...'
"I thought that this whole...One For All thing was just made up to mess with the quirkless child...and that the last 10 months had just been one...big trick...so I am sorry...for doubting you...looking back at it, it seems pretty stupid, like why would All Might spend 10 months with some random kid just to mess with him? Hah...and now I just feel...lucky...I said this on he day of the entrance exam too...I feel like I don't deserve this...like I am not worthy of your power.." Midoriya had tears in his eyes as he finished with a chuckle
'...who hurt this kid..'
So All Might did the only thing that he could think of doing while looking at the kid
He stepped forward
And hugged him
"Wh- Al- All Might?" Midoriya was pulled into a tight hug by the Number 1 hero...was he dreaming?
"My real name is Yagi, Toshiniro Yagi...I wasn't actually trying to hide it from you, I just kind of forgot to tell you heh" Yagi told his successor
'Oh my god, All Might just gave me his real name...' Midoriya was definitely crying now
"Kid, I have...many regrets in life...but let me tell you now, that you could've failed the entrance exam...and you would not have been one of them...I want you to know how proud I am of you, and how far you've grown over these past months...I could not have picked a better successor"
Midoriya cried into his mentors shirt as he spoke
"But Young Man! The hard part beginsnow, I want you! To go out there, and show the world what it means, to BE A HERO!" All Might buffed up to say that final line and coughed violently as he deflated quickly
And in typical Midoriya fashion, he freaks out and asks if he's okay
'Yup...couldn't have picked a better successor' Yagi thinks as Midoriya tries to hand him a napkin
First Day
'Alright Izuku...it's the first day! Let's make sure we don't forget anything'
Midoriya is currently preparing his things, he doesn't want to make a fool of himself on the first day
'Ok, handkerchief, check...wallet, check...phone, check..and I've double checked my bag like 3 times already!"
Midoriya takes a deep breath as he steps outside of the house
'Alright...new school...new Izuku!'
'Class 1-A...Class 1-A ...where is it?!'
Midoriya was having a hard time figuring out where Class 1-A is...he wasn't worried about being late as he arrived considerably early!
"Hey! Guy with cute freckles!" Someone called out from behind
'C-cute?'
Midoriya turned around on instinct to see who was talking
"Heh at least you know you have cute freckles" A girl who also seemed to have green hair approached him
That just made him blush harder
"Oh wow! You also have green hair? It's not as visible as mine tho...but we can be like...green hair buddies!Or something!" She continued talking, and Midoriya noticed her sharp looking teeth
"Um..hi?" Midoriya awkwardly replied
"Hi! The name is Setsuna Tokage! But you can just call me Set! Are you part of Class-1A?" Tokage asked him quickly
"Oh! Yeah, I am actually! The name is Izuku Midoriya" Midoriya replied with a smile
"Awesome! Have you figured out where it is?" Tokage looked hopeful
"Ah...no s-sorry, I was actually just about to ask a staff member" Midoriya started walking again in hopes to find either a faculty member or the class itself
"Oh maaan...I've been walking around for like...5 minutes...the halls are surprisingly empty now that I look around" Tokage noticed the surprising lack of students
"I- I mean...we are pretty early? School starts in 40 minutes...s-so it's kinda expected"
"Yeah hehe I guess you're right!"
After walking for 2 minutes, they finally find the huge doorof Class 1-A
"Wow...that door...is huge!" And Midoriya, mr comedy himself, does not miss his chance
"That's what she said" he says as he opens the door
Tokage did not take Midoriya as the type to make those jokes and looked flabbergasted
"Oh my god...You did NOT just do that!"
"Um We-well looks like we're the first people here...what student number are you?" Midoriya ignores her remark and asks a question instead
And the classroom was indeed empty...with tables and chairs, all marked with numbers
"Maybe our classmates are just stuck in the maze that is this school, and are all scattered around...oh and I am number 13!" Tokage replied to Midoriyas question
"Well then! L-Looks like we're gonna be sitting right next to each other, I am number 18" Midoriya announced with a big smile
"Nice! We can be green hair buddies after all"
Tokage and Midoriya talked alone for about 12 minutes before the next student arrived
Both of them looked to the door to see another girl
A girl with Onyx colored eyes and long black hair tied into a ponytail walked in with her bag
"Yooo it's Momo!" Tokage announced with a bright smile
Midoriya just did a small wave as a greeting
'Huh...she's...wow...she definitely drinks her milk..' Midoriya thought with a blush on his face
"Ah Tokage! Good to see that you made it in!"
"Was there ever any doubt? And please, I told you to call me Set"
"Hmm and who's this over here?" Yaoyorozu asked, gesturing to Midoriya
"Oh! This is Izuku Midoriya! He's my green hair bro! And he's also super cute and nice!"
"W-w-w-what?" Midoriya's face turned red at the last part
"Hmm I can definitely see it..." Yaoyorozu said while basically examining Midoriya's face
"W-w-w-WHAT?!" And Midoriya's head might just explode from the heat
30 minutes later, and the class was pretty much full, except for 2 students
Tenya Iida had walked in pretty early and profusely apologized to Midoriya and thought that Midoriya knew about rescue points
Midoriya just went along with it and never bothered correcting him
Almost immediately after Iida sat down, Bakugo Katsuki walked in and gave Midoriya the biggest stink eye he's ever seen inflicted on someone BUT he sat down peacefully...and as luck would have it...right in front of Midoriya
The final student to walk in was the nice girl from the exam, AND he finally got her name! Uraraka Ochako
But as Uraraka grabbed everyone's attention, by mentioning that he had destroyed the 0 pointer, Midoriya's head...RANG
Midoriya heard a ringing sound, but he seemed to be the only one hearing it and the ringing was practically dragging his head, to look at something and just then...Midoriya got it...it was warning him...
So he immediately whipped his head in that direction and saw...a caterpillar?
A/N: Boom, done! Next chapter is the Quirk Apprehension Testamong other things
Ngl I feel like I fucked up the pacing with this chapter, maybe I should've cut most of this and put the QAT here just so it doesn't get too boring to read but I am not sure, so what do you guys think? Also feel like I somehow wrote Izuku differently in this chapter...
I also wrote 90% of this at 1 AM to 3 AM so there's bound to be grammar and spelling mistakes, please point them out if you can!
And yes that WAS Danger Sense...at least my version of it...
Anyways! Next chapter will definitely be better! Since I won't write it at like...6 AM
