"There's nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway." – Shouta Aizawa
"Breath of Heroes, First Form, INGENIUM BURST" Izuku shouted, which caught everyone off guard, especially Iida. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, running at the closed gate in front of them. That was when it started to creep open. Most of them stood there shocked, trying to figure out how he had known. A few others were just shocked purely because of his speed, including Iida. Of course that had to be cause Iida knew he was quirkless. His speed was quite fast for someone without a quirk. It seemed like he was moving in the low thirties. His staff was lying on his back, making its way down his right arm. As he went through the gate, he soon turned the corner and vanished. He had activated Zetsu, all to move without being noticed.
"GO! What are you waiting for! He got it! There are no countdowns in combat!" Present Mic had shouted from the top of the wall, watching as the others looked at each other, in total confusion before running. Iida was still thinking about why Midoryia had yelled his brother's hero name when he had started running.
Izuku had disappeared from the rest of the competition. He had learned from Ed that he had to go through a similar contest in one of his travels. If you can't directly mess with the competition, mess with their method of victory. So that's exactly what he was gonna do. He looked for people with potential, and made sure they were fine, but cut out anyone else. He would look for robots coming their way and smashed them over head with his staff, or made a quick thrust to a joint to stop them long enough for him to turn them off. He was doing fine and enjoyed the view from the tops of buildings. That was till a rumbling started to shake the ground everyone stood on.
A girl was in the middle of the street, panting with a grin on her face. 'This has got to be enough points right? I mean there is no way I couldn't make it in with twenty eight. Right?' She thought to herself, till the earth started to shake. She turned around to see a rock falling and about to crush her. At the last second she was able to jump away, and the rock crushed her leg.
Izuku saw this and ran over to help her. He looked at the rock and the bot as he was running, and decided that he would have to put his all into this. While he was moving towards them, he realized removing the rock could have been dangerous. So one option left as a hero.
"Breath of Heroes, First Form, INGENIUM BURST, SMASH!" Izuku started running about fifty percent faster than before, and jumped at the robot. Once he reached about halfway up it's torso he was reaching the end of his acceleration. Everyone in the area was watching him, gawking at the boy who looked like he was ready to fly. Until he started falling. He drew his staff back in his hand, holding it like one would a javelin.
"BREATH OF HEROES, IMPROVISED FORM, SNIPE'S SHELL!" Izuku powered up his nen, using it to empower his whole body as he set the alchemical formula of his staff to be destabilized, and threw the rod as hard as he could with his breathing and nen enhanced body. As the rod left his hands, his body started to spasm, which led to the beginning of his fall. As he started to plummet, the rod forced its way into the robot, and spread the alchemical destabilization through it, melting a hole in its head and destroying the power source. "I did it!" Izuku muttered out as he started to fall. He was content with saving at least one person before his death, and looked at peace as he fell.
Then he was smacked harshly. As in everyone nearby heard the smack. Although he also started to float carelessly. Well as carelessly as someone who's spasming and convulsing can be. The girl from before had smacked him, and he was spinning in the air, drool leaking out and eyes white. A small old woman riding a medical droid moving at high speed drove up. She quickly jumped off and yelled at the girl, "QUICKLY DROP HIM!" The girl touched her hands together and the boy dropped onto a prepared stretcher.
The woman looked like she was dressed as a doctor, other than her comically large syringe cane. She started to use her quirk, as her lips extended and touched down on his forehead, his spasms worsened. She quickly commanded her bots to take him to her room and ran after them.
Elsewhere the teacher from before was staring at the screen, whose camera was following Izuku. Along with him there was Present Mic, who had only just entered the room. The most interesting character there was some combination of a bear, mouse, badger thing in a suit. He was giggling to himself slightly, and everyone was looking at him with worry. Not for him, but for the boy who was on the screen. Everyone overall was rather impressed that a child with no recorded quirk just blew one of their city busters to smithereens.
Izuku didn't stop spasming. In fact, he's still going about six hours later. The only good thing is that the spasms are slowing down, each with more time in between the next. The doctor that had brought him there was looking through all sorts of medical records trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with him. Till someone kicked in her door. "Young lady, nothing in your medical records there is going to help him. Dumbass tried something he shouldn't have. I told him that it was like crossing the damn streams and he should only do it if he is going to die otherwise. I EVEN MADE HIM WATCH GHOSTBUSTERS FOR IT!"
The woman turned around, there was a man with specks of blonde left in his almost silver gray hair. His long red coat over his black button up, and he was scratching his goatee. Then the alarm started to bellow loudly. He just held his head. "This damn kid is giving me a bigger headache than I already had having to save his dumbass." He cracked his neck as he stepped towards the boy on the bed. He pulled out a vial with a purple-ish liquid.
"Step away from the boy." The woman's syringe cane was pointed at the man. "I may not look like much anymore, but I'm still a pro hero." She had a look of both anger and determination on her face.
Ed just sighed and kept rubbing his head. "Young woman, I've had over two hundred years of fighting under my belt, and quite a few of those things could beat All Might..." Ed started to mumble to himself, "Well I guess you couldn't count any of the demons, he just doesn't have a way to kill them, and he could probably beat a good chunk of the people from that hunter world, but I don't know about the dark continent… Hmm. I should have a rematch with him now that he has full control over his quirk. Although the flame is most likely going out after five years… GOD DAMN IT! Spending a few months with that damn brat made me pick up his fucking habit!"
"Wait you know how his quirk works?" She asked, as she tried to move in between him and Izuku, in which she quickly found herself back in her seat. She was shocked, as All Might came bursting through where the door used to be. Once again, instead of his signature smile, he was wearing a face of anger.
"ED! You can't just break in here!" All Might went to grab onto the red coat, when a menacing aura left Ed's body.
"You touch that coat, and I will show you exactly what I can and can't 'just' do. Understood." The woman saw something that she had never seen before, Toshinori backing away from a challenge. "My student did the one thing I told him not to do, so I came to fix it. Also, I know what you are thinking. Touch him, or put a target on his back, and you will be putting one on your own. A much bigger one than before." Ed poured the liquid down Izuku's throat, and turned to leave.
"Also, miss Recovery Girl, thank you for trying to take care of my dumbass student. It was very nice of you to look with so much vigor, and it means so much to me that you would fight someone who got this deep into U.A. just to protect him." He bowed slightly before completely disappearing. The alarm vanished, as did All Might's muscles. He looked almost depressed. This was All Might's true form. A skeleton of his former self, literally. He had most of his digestive track and some of his respiratory system in a fight about five years prior.
"Toshi. Who was that?"
"A man with the power to follow through with any threat." He said as he fell back into a chair, passing out.
Izuku had woken up about an hour later, and was given a personal ride back home, with a hero of his choice. That was of course, with Present Mic. "So what's it like being friends with Eraserhead?"
Mic froze. He wasn't expecting that out of nowhere, "How did you know that little listener?"
"I do tons of research on fights of pros for my fighting style, and most of the times that Eraser was there, so were you and Midnight. Is he really as cold as the media makes him out to be? Also is Midnight really that much of a perv?" Mic just started laughing at what the boy had said.
"Yes he is. Until he warms up to you, so careful on your first few days if you pass. Also she is kinda weird, and loves passion but she's not a perv. At least I don't think so." The car pulled to a stop and Mic followed him out, "Gotta talk to your parents kiddo." Izuku nodded as he walked his way up to their apartment. He opened the door and took off his shoes, as did Mic.
"Mom! I'm home!" At which point a small cinnamon roll of a person came running out and squeezed him tightly.
"HONEY WHERE WERE YOU! I WAS SO SCARED WHEN U.A. CALLED! What happened to your staff?! I don't care as long as you are okay! Who's this?" She finally noticed the cockatoo of a man standing behind her son.
"Hi Ma'am. I work at U.A. and am the pro hero Present Mic. Although starting in three weeks, your son can call me Mr. Yamada, Congratulations. You have made it into the Class 1-A hero course." At which point she jumped at the man and hugged him as well.
"You have to join us for dinner! Please you came all this way and shared such good news with us!" She was hugging him a little too tight, as he was starting to turn blue. Izuku had to pry his mom's arms off the hero.
"I'm sorry but I can't. It's game night with my roommates, and I need to kick someone's butt in poker!" He waved as he started to leave, then he yelled back as quietly as he could, "Welcome to the U.A. Hero Course Izuku Midoriya!" It was still loud enough to where most of the neighborhood heard it.
Including, "GOD DAMN DEKU! How the fuck could he make it in? And was that Present Mic's voice? What was he doing there so late? He must be dating the nerd's mom secretly. That must be how he got in! It's the only way! I'll show everyone that the damn nerd couldn't do anything."
It was the big day! The first day of Izuku's new life at U.A. high! He just had to be too excited to sleep, so he once again left at three am. In the same alley as before, a girl popped out and landed on him. "That's what you get bitch! Bite me and leave me out cold in the trash?!" Izuku recognized the older males voice.
He looked at the girl in her yellow, slitted eyes, and whispered, "It's okay, I got this." Izuku helped her off to the side and got up, cracking his neck and dusting his shirt off. He saw three guys, One looked like he had chains hanging down from his fingers, the other had a switchblade and was wearing a blue suit, the last one was in the middle with electricity sparking off his hair. "I'm the one who left you cold in the trash if you have to know, also, I don't appreciate people who hurt girls to any degree."
Izuku had to think. He still can't openly carry his staff, so he left one with Mic and left another at home. He had to think about how to attack someone with sparks, and another with chains without getting hurt. He had to do one thing he hated, "Look at my uniform, very carefully. Think about the thought of getting into a fight with a U.A student before you pick a fight at all. I'm in the hero course for a reason."
The one with the blade stepped forward. "That's why I'm here. You can't openly attack me with your quirk mister hero. I don't got one myself, so I don't fit into the villainy system." He lunged at Izuku, who at this point couldn't be happier. He grabbed the man's wrist and turned the knife so it went back into his own arm.
"That's pretty funny. Neither do I. So if you want to play knife games, let's play!" Izuku took the knife out of the thug's arm, and spun around kicking him in the jaw. Which splattered blood on the white part of his signature red shoes. "Are you fucking serious? Now I have to clean my shoes before class!" The man fell over out cold. Izuku started to play with the knife in his hand. "Sensei said I should always know how to use a myriad of weapons. Now I'm armed and dangerous."
The man with cracking sparks moved forward as the man with chains whipped them at Izuku. The green haired boy breathed in deeply, and stabbed the knife in between the links of the chain. Although it didn't stop the end of it whiping his face harshly and cutting it. As the sparks moved towards Izuku, he yanked the other thug into their path, and held the rubber part of the blade's handle. "Dumb move to have your quirkless carry a weapon that counters you. Without proper training, we are weak. Together, with time we are strong."
The girl ran up and hugged him. "Thanks a bunch!" She almost yelled as she licked the cut on his face. "Sorry! Instinct!" She quickly backed off and cowered, almost like a child expecting to get yelled at. Izuku barely noticed that though, as his mind was processing that a girl just licked his face. Eventually his mind and body caught up.
"Um I guess it's fine, are you okay though?" He looked her over, and noticed she was wearing a school uniform, with some blood on it, he blonde hair was up in messy buns, and she had sharp canines in her smile.
"Yeppers! All good!" Her smile came out when he had told her it was fine that she licked him. She also noticed that he was still bleeding. "Could I like some more of your blood?" The question did not match appearance in this case. Her body language matched more of a school girl asking her crush out, which threw off Izuku enough.
"Yeah sure! Anytime in fact!" Izuku took out a piece of paper from his bag and wrote his number on it. "If you need anything else just ask!" She took the number from him, then looked back at him.
"You said you were quirkless right? Could you teach me how to defend myself then? My quirk gets me into a lot of fights but I'm not too good at fighting, and my quirk isn't really built for it…" She was blushing while talking at Izuku. He thought it was because this was like asking for a date, but it was really her blood lust wanting to take over.
"Sure! call me sometime on a weekend and we can train whenever! I'll also hand over blood if you need it!"
"Really!" She quickly pushed him against the wall and started to lick his face, right where the cut was.
"I-I-I-I'm Izuku Midoriya N-n-n-nice to meet you!" He was a stuttering, blushing mess.
"I'm Himiko Toga! Nice to meet you Dori!" She kept licking till blood stopped coming out. She had a very satisfied look on her face, blush included.
Izuku bowed to her, "Sorry but I have to go before I end up late for school! This jog took much longer than I would think!"
Izuku started to run, just because if he didn't he was scared he would end up late. But of course, with how early he left, it didn't matter. In fact he ran into the early bird of Iida right then and there. "Ah! Midoriya good to see you. Are you ready for our first day?"
"Yeah I think so! Good to see that you passed as well!" Iida ended up talking with Izuku quite a bit, while walking. They ended up just hanging out in the courtyard till about ten minutes till the start of class. They entered the class with time to spare, then Izuku's heart stopped. He looked to the back of the room, seeing a student with long purple hair and almost dead eyes. The appearance isn't what stopped him though. It was the Ten surrounding him. The boy quickly stood up and looked Izuku in the eyes.
"No quirks, till one passes out? I don't want to do the whole 'There can be only one' thing to another hero" The boy's voice resonated in Izuku's head.
"Works for me."
Author's Note:
Did I throw you off there? Are you surprised that one of the best boys will be getting more powerful? I still have these two questions as I got a total of one review. I don't expect a ton of reviews but a few would be nice! With this, I have completed 3 of the five updates I promised. Up next is Terror Deku then the height of my fics, My Leveling Hero. Please read the other fics, follow and review!
What kind of weapons would you like Izuku to use?
Who do you want to see him in a relationship with? Or do you want this to be more like a harem? I did set up a scene with Ibara Shiozaki, but that was just to introduce her. I like her design quite a bit. I like the idea of Izuku training with Toga, but that doesn't mean anything yet.
