The Gift of a Spider
(A/N I'm not dead and neither is this fic. Please enjoy and I'll talk to you guys later!)
The Change Part 1
Three boys around the age of 4-5 were staring down a young boy who was standing in front of a small girl who was crying. One of his most noticeable features was that he had black hair with green highlights.
"T-that's mean Kacchan. Can't you see she's crying? If you hurt her, I-I-I'll never forgive you!" The little boy with black curly hair raised his fists while shaking in fear. He knew the odds were against him but he wasn't going to let them hurt the girl behind him.
All men are not born equal. This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four. Growing up without a Quirk made me realize how cruel the world can be on those who were unlucky like me. Every day, it was the same thing over and over again.
The young boy with the black curly hair was laying on the ground, covered in bruises and cuts after trying to defend the girl. He could barely move since he took one hell of a beating. As his eyes were about to close, the girl he protected walked over to him and offered her hand. It was difficult for him to recognize her features because the sun ray was covering his eyes.
"A-are you oka…" But just as she finished asking the question, everything turned dark and he could no longer hear her voice.
Midoriya's Home (Morning)
After last night's incident at the dinner table, Izuku turned in early for the night once he was done eating. He didn't know why, but his body reacted on its own when he saw his mom in trouble.
Izuku slowly began opening his eyes as the sun's rays was covering his face. Grogginess riddled his face as he inched his arms into the air and let out a small groan.
"Morning already?" The tired boy crawled out of bed to reach his curtains, only to see the new sunny day. He was still worried about what happened with Man Spider, but he knew he couldn't let it distract him. To him, it was a thing of the past and it was best to move on from it. Izuku looked over to his left shoulder and remembered the moment where the monstrous figure bit him.
"Ungh… that dream again." Thought Izuku as he fixed his bed hair.
He turned around to his door as he heard his mom knock. "Izuku, are you awake?"
"Yeah, mom. I'm awake." Izuku answered.
"Are you feeling any better today? Any change?" Izuku's mom asked worriedly. She was aware that Izuku had to go through a lot in the past few days. Almost losing his life and being saved by All Might at the last second, the hospital - She wasn't sure if her boy was traumatized or taking this calmly at all. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be calm about it.
Izuku looked at his body and sighed in relief before he answered back. "Don't worry mom, I feel a lot better today." In the back of his mind, he was thankful that he lacked the arms that he had in his strange dream.
"Is that so?" Such words were music to her right now. "Well, come out when you're ready; it's time for breakfast."
"Okay mom," Izuku replied as he began getting dressed. While preparing for school, Izuku couldn't help but feel happy knowing that it was All Might who came to his rescue. After finishing breakfast, Izuku got his stuff and headed for the door to put his shoes on.
"Izuku, have you got your lunch money?"
"Yeah mom, I have it."
"Are you definitely sure you're feeling better?"
"Mom, I told you that I'm okay. So please stop worrying," the boy replied. He was trying to sound calm, hoping to relay it back to his unsure mother.
"I'm sorry Izuku, it's just…I can't help but worry about you."
She got a hug from her boy, just listening to him now. "Don't worry about it, mom; I'm perfectly fine. The doctor told you that I made a full recovery from my injuries. I may get light-headed a few times, but it's nothing to worry about."
"Okay, I understand." She released the hug she had returned to him so he can be on his way. "Anyways, have a nice day, honey. And make sure to call if you feel sick."
"Sure mom, I'll see ya later." Izuku placed his feet in his shoes and waved goodbye before leaving. Knowing that his mother was no longer carrying that little burden was enough to make him smile.
Location: Tatooin Station
People were in a panic as a giant man with ears that are almost just holes, purple dreadlocks that were dark colored, and a nose that was nearly aligned with his eyes rampaged about. He had a tattered jacket without sleeves and some pants on, but there was nothing hiding the physique he had as he roared in frustration, trying to intimidate everyone around him. His massive hand knocked down an electrical pole with ease, no remorse if it was to fall on some of the fleeing bystanders.
Suddenly, a muscular man quickly ran over and grabbed the pole before it reached the ground. This hero was known as Death Arms, a man who carried out justice with great physical strength, he was the Punching Hero. After all the citizens reached a safe distance, another hero arrived into the scene. He shot out two water lines with his Fire hydrant hands and created a "No Entry" line with his water Quirk.
"Everyone, this is dangerous! Stay back, stay back!" said the hero who looked like a Fireman.
"Wow! It's the rescue specialist, Backdraft! He's here too!" said a chubby onlooker as he started taking pictures of the heroes.
Backdraft was a hero who dressed up like a firefighter, he wore a yellow jacket and had a red firearm hat. He had a cannon on his shoulder which enabled him to shoot water and he also had a red tank filled with water on his back. He protected his face with a white mask, additional features included a red fire hydrant on each of his arms and he wore yellow sneakers.
"But man, that guy turning into a monster sure has an awesome quirk." Said a civilian in business attire.
"What exactly did that guy do?" asked another civilian.
"Apparently, he stole someone's bag and went out of control when he got cornered." Replied the civilian in business attire.
"Wow. A quirk like that and he's just a bag snatcher?" questioned the citizen.
Izuku noticed the crowd and tried to push past the citizens to get a closer look. Even though he didn't have any powers, he loved studying about heroes and their different abilities. He would always get excited when a hero would fight off against villains and wrote about them in his notebook. Today was his lucky day as he was able to watch a battle right in front of his eyes.
"Who's fighting this time?!" Izuku questioned with excitement as he finally got into the front line. He watched as the giant was trying to hit a hero in a black unitard with a wooden mask over his face, but the hero was able to quickly get away with his ability to extend and retract his arm that looks to be made of wood.
"Wow, Kamui Woods! The young and talented rising star!" exclaimed Izuku in an excited manner. Now that he had a better look, the hero had shoes, knee guards, and a belt all made of wood. Those wooden arms were actually gloves that reached past his forearm.
"You were the one asking, but you answered your own question, kid. You're quite the fanboy, aren't you?" asked an old man with white hair, a white moustache and brown glasses. He also wore a white shirt with brown pants and black shoes. He was also holding a bag which had several comic books, drawing equipment, magazines and newspaper. Izuku was confused since he looked like a foreigner from America.
"Uh, well...hehe…" Izuku couldn't respond since the old man was spot on with his analysis. Izuku quickly turned back to see Kamui Woods getting ready to attack as he extended his right arm and started growing it.
"Oh, here it comes!" exclaimed Izuku as he pointed at the fight. Everyone in the crowd cheered as Kamui Woods was about to unleash his attack. Izuku was feeling excited since he recognised the attack from television.
"Show us something flashy, Tree man!" said the old man.
"Pre-emptive…Binding…LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON!" cheered Izuku as he watched Kamui Woods unleashed one of his strongest attack. His attack was so close to reaching the villain but then…
"CANYON CANNON!" yelled a woman who was tall as a building! She quickly flew in and delivered a double kick at the villain's face, surprising every single one of the citizens who were watching.
Izuku felt disappointed, knowing that the move he was so eagerly waiting to see was useless but he was still excited to see another hero come into the picture. Just as the villain finally fell and the lady stood up, a barrage of male photographers came in and started taking pictures.
"Yaho~ ! My name is Mt. Lady. A pleasure to meet you all," said Mt. Lady as she winked at the citizens.
Of course it was to be expected. Along with the rise of superpowers came an explosive increase in crime. As the world was struck in the slow progress of drastic law reforms, courageous people started performing heroic acts straight out of comic books. Guarding against those who would abuse their superpowers and defending against evil. Heroes were soon accepted by the public, and it was established as an official position. Based on their performance, they are paid by the government and gain renown among the masses.
Seeing the new hero, Izuku immediately started digging through his bag for his hero notebook. He immediately began taking down notes about her features, quirk and costume.
"Titan Growth…Mount Lady, huh? She looks like she'll be popular, it's an amazing Quirk, but thinking about the damage to the city that'll go hand in hand with that, its use might be limited? No, but whether or not she can control the size…." Mumbled Izuku furiously as he carried on writing down on his notebook.
"Wow kid, those are some fancy notes you got there! Let me guess; you're aiming to be a hero ain'tcha!" said the old man. Seeing the stars in Izuku's eyes, he felt like he could go far. Immediately after hearing his words, Izuku turned around to the man and smiled.
"Yes, sir! It's been my childhood dream," Izuku said in a nervous tone.
"Well then kid, good luck! It's not gonna be easy, but I'm sure you can do it. I'm rooting for ya!"
Hearing those words of encouragement, Izuku looked over to the old timer and gave him a bright smile. Never in his life had he hear such words from anyone before so he was feeling extremely happy about it.
"T-thank you, sir! I promise, I'll do my best!" Izuku bowed his head.
"But you should probably get going kid, ain'tcha gonna be late?" Izuku snapped back to reality and realised that he was already running late.
"R-right, thank you." Immediately afterwards, he placed his notebook back into his bag and started running towards his school.
Few minutes later
"I was too distracted and now I'm gonna be late!" After a while of running, Izuku reached a tunnel under a bridge. He hid for a second as he noticed three guys in the tunnel who were smoking their cigarettes, two sitting down and the third was standing up. Wearing the same school uniform as his, Izuku was very aware of who those three were.
The one standing was big and muscular with black hair. He also had a really intimidating face, a clean haircut with bushy eyebrows, a huge nose, and thick full lips. His name is Debu Pocchari, the captain of the Karate club. His toughness made him one of the strongest fighters in the school and he took Aldera (their school) to the Junior championships with his martial art skills. But if he believes anyone is not strong, then he will not hesitate to step on them.
The second boy was the leanest of the three, but still built strong and muscular. The most noticeable feature was that he was part cheetah. His body was covered with orange, white and black colours and he had the head of a cheetah. His name was Doji Toroi, the Boxer with the fastest punches. Ever since he was little, he loved boxing and aimed to become one of the strongest boxers. His grades weren't the best and the guy takes a while to catch onto things, but when it came to boxing, he didn't slack off one bit. Similar to Debu, he hates people that are weak and picks on them to show off his masculinity.
The last one was lightly-tanned with short black hair and with long sideburns. He sported a defined and well-muscled build in the arms with a large belly; which was a perfect mixture of muscle and fat. His name is Deji Mandilla and he was the last of the trio.
Wanting no trouble, he decided it was best to just ignore them and take another route. But being pressed for time, there was no other choice if he was to get to school on time. Perhaps racing past them before they can do anything could work?
Izuku carried on running into the tunnel, feeling the same sensation that he felt last night. Vision blurring at the slight headache, he felt something trip his leg just as he was about to get past them, causing him to fall down. Izuku slowly stood up and looked back to see that Debu was the one who had extended his foot. The other boys stood up, each with an evil grin on their face as they ditched their cigarettes.
Izuku's face turned pale the moment he saw those guys staring at him. He dreaded the idea of their reasoning for tripping him.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't our old pal Midoriya." Said Debu as he began walking towards Izuku.
"C-can I help y-you guys?" Izuku asked nervously as the three boys stopped right in front of him. With Debu, Doji, and Deji each at the heights of 200, 193, and 195 cm respectively, they were very intimidating with their sizes and murderous stares.
"Yeah, I think you can," Debu said as he picked up Izuku by the collar and threw him against the wall. After slamming into the wall, Izuku slowly tried to get up but his head started tingling again as the bully trio were approaching him. My head…I don't feel too good.
"Listen Midoriya, we're a bit low on cash today so think you can lend us some?" Debu asked as he placed his hand on Izuku's left shoulder and started squeezing it. Izuku began feeling uneasy, this reminded him of the time when the Man Spider drove him to a corner.
"I-I don't have any and I'm really running late so I have to get going," Izuku raised his shaking hands, trying to get it over with fast.
"Come on Midoriya, surely you must have some money on ya. Be a pal and just give it to us." Deji spoke in a tone that was a mixture of fake friendliness and demanding.
Of course, three of the most athletic guys in school also had to be the biggest jerks. And the teachers always looked past their mistakes since they were important to the school. Izuku had no idea what to do when he's trying to get to school while three of the toughest guys he's aware of wanted to pick on him. "But I seriously don't have any..."
"We tried asking the nice way but it looks like you just won't listen, will ya, Midoriya? Guess we'll have to take it by force." Izuku felt a sharp pain in his head before getting punched in the gut by Debu. Izuku grabbed his stomach and started kneeling down gently.
"Hey Debu, how 'bout you let me handle this one, eh? My fists need the workout anyway!" said Doji as he started cracking his knuckles. Debu and Deji simply smiled and took their distance.
"By all means, go right ahead. Just make sure it hurts." Requested Debu as he stood against the wall.
"Yeah! Show that quirkless punk who's boss!" yelled Deji while Debu covered his ears. Deji had a slight problem with being loud when he was over excited. Debu clenched his fist and smacked Deji on his head.
"Shut it, ya fat loudmouth! Just keep your mouth shut and enjoy the show!" Deji simply nodded and the two watched as Izuku slowly started standing up.
"This day was going so well until these guys showed up. Now I'm gonna be late, get beaten up and lose my lunch money." Thought Izuku before directing his attention to the tall boxer in front of him. But just then, Izuku grabbed his head as he felt his head throbbing again. He didn't know why his head has been feeling pain when danger was nearby.
Doji put up his arms and got into a boxing position, ready to attack Izuku. With his swift movements, he showed off a few quick punches and tried to scare Izuku. However, Izuku wasn't paying attention since his head was throbbing so much. "Alright, get ready to taste the thunder!"
"G-Guys please, I-I really don't want to fight you guys..."
"Can't blame ya. I wouldn't want to fight me neither!" said Doji as he started making his way towards Izuku with his fists ready.
Izuku glanced at Doji as he was slowly getting closer. After the two were at a close distance, Doji quickly tried a right Jab. When his fist was about to come into contact with flesh, Izuku simply tilted his head to the left and dodged the attack, surprising the trio. The cheetah boxer immediately attempted a left jab, but Izuku recognised the attack and tilted his head to the right, causing the attack to miss as well.
"Huh? H-how did I do that? Did I just imagine it? N-no, I just knew where his fist was going." Izuku thought to himself as he took a few steps back.
"Huh?! How did he dodge that?! I thought Midoriya was supposed to be a quirkless wimp! Whatever, I'll give him a quick one-two punch combo." Doji got his left leg on the front and right on the back. Izuku looked down at his stance and back to his opponent, as if he recognised what was coming.
Doji lunged forward with his left jab. This time, Izuku raised his right arm and blocked his attack. Feeling frustrated, the boxer attempted a right cross to try and hit Izuku, catching the timid boy wincing for a second. Just as the attack was about to reach him, Izuku grabbed his right arm and started twisting it, causing Doji to yell in pain.
Seeing the opportunity, Izuku clenched his fist and punched Doji directly on the chest which sent him flying back. Debu and Deji watched as Doji flew straight towards them and crash into the wall.
"W-wha… what just happened?!" Debu questioned. The karate captain and the friend still standing looked back to see Izuku who was shaking on the spot, who was just as confused about what was happening. "Looks like we underestimated this bastard. We won't make the same mistake!"
Deji saw that Izuku was distracted and started running towards him. "Heh, there's no way that he can escape from me now! Once I grab him, I'll squeeze the life out of him!"
Izuku was still shaking but his head felt a tingling sensation. Without even knowing, Izuku jumped over Doji. Debu and Deji's eyes widened in surprised when they saw Izuku do a front flip in the air. After landing on the ground, Izuku started looking at his own body in confusion.
"H-how did I…? My body just reacted on its own."
"I thought he was quirkless! Don't tell me that's just natural talent?! ...Whatever. I've got to take him down now!" Deji thought, he started running towards Izuku with his arms spread wide. Izuku's head began tingling again as Deji was getting closer.
"He's running towards me again! I don't know what to do, how am I supposed to dodge this? Think, think, THINK!" Izuku closed his eyes but he immediately remembered something. "Page twenty-one, in my sixth notebook! When a large enemy is charging directly at you: use their weight against them!"
Just as Deji was about to grab Izuku, his target immediately crouched to the ground and covered his head with his arms. Because of Deji's speed, he tripped over Izuku and rolled towards the wall until his face met it. Deji slowly fell on his back losing a few teeth as well, a perfect print of Deji's face on the wall for everyone still standing to see.
"I-I can't actually believe that worked!" Izuku was nervously smiling at his accomplishment.
Debu couldn't keep his mouth closed, disbelief at what he just witnessed. The weakest kid in the entire school without a quirk, defeated two tough guys with minimum effort? Izuku looked like an easy picking to him, but he was more than meets the eye. "Fuck this! I'm gonna kill that bastard!"
Izuku was still confused as to what was happening but his head began tingling once again, Debu was already behind Izuku with his arms spread wide, ready to grab Izuku.
"NOW YOU'RE MINE!" Izuku's head continued tingling as Debu got closer. Without even knowing it, Izuku tried to jump over Debu to escape. But just as he was about to jump over him, Debu grabbed Izuku's leg and slammed him to the ground. The pain caused him to gasp.
"Where do you think you're going?! With my quirk, I have the ability to tell what moves my opponent will make next." Debu boasted.
"Not good. W-what do I do? I can't take him head on! He can predict my moves." Izuku slowly stood up and raised his fists, quivering pitifully in front of his current enemy. Debu could hardly see how Izuku was able to take down his other friends.
"I don't understand. When you fought against Doji and Deji, you were pulling off some great moves. So what the hell am I looking at now, Midoriya? What?! You think you can take me down as easily?!" Debu began charging towards Izuku, his voice oozing with rage.
"He's coming! I-I… I don't know what to do! Think! He's a strong martial artist with a quirk that allows him to predict his opponent's moves. There's nothing I can do to counter-attack him with!"
Debu reached Izuku and threw a punch. The inexperienced boy recognised the attack and tried to dodge. Again, Debu predicted Izuku's move by unclenching his fist, grabbing the victim's shoulder and landing the real punch directly on Izuku's face. After the punch, Debu grabbed Izuku by his collar and threw him towards the wall.
"I knew it... You're nothing but a Quirkless failure. I'll admit, I'm impressed that you were able to defeat those two idiots, but no one has beaten me yet!" boasted Debu as he clicked his knuckles and started walking towards Izuku. Izuku slowly began standing up again but he was in a lot of pain, covering his wounded face with his hand.
"I'm… scared. I can still feel the pain from his punches, my body still remembers his strength." Izuku turned to Debu and watched as he slowly made his way towards him. Izuku was shaking after he saw the overwhelming glare that met him. "No! I can't be afraid! I have to think of a way to beat him…" Izuku held up his fists once again, but he was still shaking.
"You know, you brought this upon yourself. If you'd just give us the money, we would've never hurt you in the first place. But now, I'm done wasting my time with you!" Debu's volume grew with each word as he charged at Izuku.
Izuku watched as Debu was running towards him. Instead of waiting, the scared boy ran towards the him as well. Debu was surprised that Izuku actually mustered the courage to fight back, but he wasn't particularly worried about it. After the gap was closed, a trembling fist was thrown towards the karate captain's face.
"Are you kidding me, Midoriya? I don't even need my Quirk to block that one!" Debu raised his right arm and stopped Izuku's left fist from reaching his face. "You missed!"
However, Debu's smirk didn't last long as he felt an intense pain in the pit of his stomach. He looked down and noticed that Izuku's right fist was there.
"As expected, most guys are afraid of getting hit in the face. So he would've never seen my second punch coming!" thought Izuku.
"H-how did you… that was the Yamazuki!" questioned Debu.
"Page four, Hero Notebook number 7... I remember in Gun head's training video that some opponents can read your moves so in order to defeat them, I need to use moves that they aren't familiar with. Debu can predict moves, but judging from the way he attacks and moves, he's trained to follow the Karate tournament moves. Meaning he would've never expected this attack!" thought Izuku.
Debu quickly tried to punch Izuku but he quickly backed away in time. Through his opponent's punch, Debu almost fell to one knee as the pain was spreading through his body.
"Where did that strength came from in that little body?! I instinctively defended my face and it made my lower guard, vulnerable!" The experienced fighter grabbed his stomach and stumbled back. Not wanting to take any more chances, he ran towards Izuku. After he got in range, he attempted to punch the timid boy again, unaware that his speed had decreased from being winded like that.
"His attacks became sluggish! Now's my chance!" Determination on his face, Izuku dodged the attack and grabbed the larger guy's arm. Using the force of his punch, Izuku pulled Debu and threw him on the ground. With that last attack, Debu was finally down for the count.
After the attack, Izuku slowly took a few steps back but after realising what he did, he lost all strength in his legs. He single-handedly took down three of the strongest people in his school using strategy and skill.
"I… I did it. I actually beat all three of them. I won! I…ungh." Izuku stood up and took a few steps back before clenching his head, his head was still pounding. He immediately took out his phone and saw the time. "Oh no… class started 10 minutes ago. I'm late!"
Without even looking back, Izuku grabbed his belongings and began running towards his school in a hurry.
Aldera High School
Reality was harsh for Izuku; he was picked on by a lot of students who had quirks. Their quirks were useful for a lot of hero activities but sadly, note-taking wasn't going to have any role when it came to heroics.
After reaching school, Izuku went to the teacher's office to explain about why he was late. Hearing his story about being caught in the tunnel by the three bullies, the teachers seemed to have either turned a blind eye or just didn't believe that he was being bullied by three of their top sports members. The teachers instructed Izuku to go to the nurse's office to take care of his cuts and bruises and gave him a warning that next time he is late; it'll be detention for him. While he was on his way there, he also wondered if they'll allow him to rest since his head was still pounding.
After reaching the nurse's office, he looked around the room to see that no one was there. Since there wasn't anyone to ask for permission, he decided to head towards the bed to get some rest. Upon laying down, he started thinking about what happened to him back at the tunnel.
"What happened to me? Back then, my body reacted on its own. It was as if I saw their moves ahead of them. I don't know how I managed to dodge them. I just… don't…understand…" Izuku's eyes finally closed as he drifted off to sleep.
Later
Izuku woke up again and noticed that it was nearly lunch time, his stomach began growling as he got out of bed. He looked around for a few medical supplies and covered a few of his bruises but most of them were still visible.
"Looks like Miss Ayumi still isn't here yet... Oh, well. I should get something to eat." Izuku put his shoes back on and started to make his way towards the school store. He was definitely feeling a lot better compared to the morning since his headache was gone and his face wasn't sore anymore, as if the bruises had miraculously healed while he was asleep.
School Store
After pushing through all the students, Izuku finally managed to get himself a Yakisoba bread. Buying lunch was difficult for him since all the students would use their quirks secretly to push, steal, and fight for the remaining food whenever teachers and staff are not looking. Luckily for Izuku, he managed to dodge all the chaos and got away in time.
"Finally, now I can enjoy some lunch and check out this morning's…" his sentence was cut short when he accidentally bumped into someone. Izuku fell back and dropped his Yakisoba, he tried to reach for it but the person in front of him already grabbed it. He looked up to see a young man of average height, with light blond, spiky hair and red eyes, wearing a black Gakuran Uniform as well. Beside him were two other male students, it was more surprising since one of them had extremely long fingers as a quirk.
"K-Kachhan!" Izuku looked over to his childhood friend… actually once childhood friend. His name was Bakugou Katsuki, a kid who Izuku grew up with but as time went on, their friendship began breaking apart. After Bakugou's quirk manifested, he never failed to make Izuku feel miserable about himself because of the difference in their level.
But even after all the harsh treatment Izuku had to endure, he didn't feel any anger towards Bakugou. Instead, he still wished that they could become friends like they used to.
"Oi, Deku! What the fuck do you think you're doing, huh?" questioned Bakugou. Izuku stood up and slowly scratched his head in panic.
"N-Nothing really! I-I was just about to have lunch so if you don't mind, can I have my Yakiso…" Bakugou turned his attention to the bread in his hand, he simply smirked before blowing it into a burnt mess. Izuku watched as his bread turned into charcoal and Bakugou dropped it on the ground.
"…m-my lunch." Izuku slowly reached out to his burnt bread and picked it up. Everyone around him began laughing as they watched Izuku pitifully pick up his burnt lunch. Izuku was on the verge of tears but he simply clenched his fist and held it in.
"What? I just heated it up for ya, well go on. Eat it." Demanded Bakugou.
"W-what?"
"Yeah Midoriya! Eat it!"
Izuku looked around and everyone was chanting that he should eat it. Of course, he had no intention of eating it since it was turned into a crisp but with everyone pressuring him to eat and Bakugou's threatening quirk, it seemed liked he didn't have much of a choice. As the people were still chanting, his head was starting to throb again as Bakugou was getting closer.
"No… not now!" thought Izuku as he grabbed his head.
"That's enough with this savagery!" Everyone directed their attention to the source of voice. Izuku turned back to see who it was, but when he found out, even he couldn't believe it.
She was a real beauty, she had a slim figure with long purple hair and wore glasses to cover her crystal blue eyes. She was wearing a black winter sailor uniform with long sleeves and a black skirt.
Her name was Sayuri Mitsuko, the class president of Class 2-A. She was pretty much the centre of attention in school, she had the great looks, grades, wealth and even a powerful quirk. With her confident attitude, she was the girl who stole the hearts of both males and females alike.
"What the hell do you want? Can't you see we're in the middle of something, rich girl!" Bakugou snapped as he turned back to Izuku.
Just as Bakugou was about to grab Izuku, a purple barrier appeared in front of him. Everyone turned back to Sayuri and saw her eyes and hands glowing purple. All the other students took a step back as soon as they saw Sayuri use her quirk.
Her quirk was called Force Field; she could create purple walls to defend herself and others from any type of attacks. She could also throw her force fields as if they were projectiles.
People started to talk in low voices among themselves, confusion clearly heard in what bits and pieces Izuku could make out.
"C-class president?"
"Why is she defending Midoriya?" wondered another student.
"Leave Izuku alone." Sayuri warned. Bakugou turned to her with an angry glare, he raised his hands and created a few mini explosions.
Bakugou and Sayuri gave each other a stare down before walking towards each other. All the other students quickly backed off since they knew that two strong Quirk users were about to collide with each other.
"Fucking bitch! And what the fuck are you gonna do if I don't? Your Quirk is nothing compared to mine, you're nothing but an extra. Just what the hell do you think you can do?" threatened Bakugou.
"I have no intention of wasting my time with this trivial matter. I'd rather not protect this little weakling, but this school has forbidden fighting on campus. You of all people should know the difference in our power... Are you really going to try and test me?" questioned Sayuri as her eyes began glowing purple. All the students around them began chatting as the two were ready to brawl.
"Who do you think will win?"
"I don't know but I don't want to hang around when they use their quirks."
"Bakugou doesn't stand a chance against our Sayuri!" cheered a girl.
"Bakugou's quirk is extremely powerful, but I heard that Sayuri's quirk makes her untouchable, not to mention her barriers are unbreakable. I'd say both are strong but I'm putting my money on Sayuri!"
Just as the fight was about to begin, Bakugou turned around and started walking away in frustration since he didn't have the nerve to attack her.
"Let's go! I'm done wasting my time with this bitch." Bakugou walked off and his two friends quickly followed after him.
Sayuri immediately turned her attention to Midoriya who was breathing heavily since his head was still in pain. She walked over to him and offered him a hand.
"Are you okay?" Izuku look up to see Sayuri offering her hand. He paused for a moment, then accepted her offer and stood up.
"Y-yeah, I-I'm fine. Thank you for helping me." Replied Izuku. Sayuri looked away and crossed her arms.
"I just hate guys like Bakugou. Using his powers to pick on others is just barbaric. So don't think I was helping you because of that sorry state you're in." Sayuri's eye were gazing at the bandages on Izuku's face and the hands that held his burnt bread. "Did that wild animal cover your face in bruises too?"
"No. I had a little accident on my way to school…"
"Come on. let's go."
"W-where are we going?" asked Izuku.
"To the nurse's office. I can clearly tell you're not feeling well, and it would be a stain on myself to not see to it that a student gets proper medical treatment."
"I was at the nurse's office already, but Miss Ayumi wasn't there," Izuku replied.
"That's because there was an emergency club meeting for the girls' basketball team. She was busy all morning. I'm sure she's back in her office by now." Sayuri said as she carried on walking.
Without responding, Izuku agreed and started walking with her to the nurse's office. All the other boys and girls were clenching their fists in anger as they watched the school's most popular girl, walking with the weakest guy in school.
"Damn, that Midoriya! Why does he get to be so lucky?!"
"I swear, if he even thinks about soiling our princess, I will crush him myself!"
On the way to the nurse's office, Izuku was still confused about why Sayuri wanted to help Izuku. Izuku continued to follow, dampening the silence between them with a conversation.
"Um… Sayuri…" She looked back to Izuku who was still holding his head.
"What is it, Midoriya?" asked Sayuri.
"Well… I just wanted to say thank you for helping me earlier. If it weren't for you, I would probably be eating burnt bread."
"Don't thank me," Sayuri replied. "I was only doing what was natural since it's guys like Bakugou I hate the most. Creeps like him think that they're the best just because they have a strong quirk, using it for all sorts of disgusting things. I wouldn't want to waste my time in such trivial affairs, but it's my duty as a class president to have to help any students who needs it."
Despite her protection on other students, it was never out of kindness. Despite many students being head over heels for Sayuri, she never showed any positive attitude towards others.
"I-I see. You've helped so many of us all by yourself with your powers. I really wish I could've been like you, but I'm quirkle…" But before Izuku could finish his sentence, Sayuri stopped walking and turned to Izuku. Izuku froze up as he saw her annoyed expression.
"If that was a compliment, you need to think of one for yourself first since it feels like you're handing me something disgusting. Do you think quirks are the only thing that makes us special?" Sayuri's question made Izuku wonder, as he was always focused on people for their quirks.
"U-um…"
"Quirks are just additions, more responsibility added to our lives. I help people not because I want to but because I have to. It's what's expected of me as someone who has this quirk and this position." explained Sayuri which made Izuku feel guilty.
"I-I'm sorry. I guess I was so focused on your quirks that I failed to see the user first." Izuku nervously apologized. Hearing the sincerity in his voice, she turned her back on Izuku again.
"Don't worry about it. But I hear that you're different beyond the fact you're quirkless. You're without some form of power, yet you always make sure that those around you are not hurt, even if you have to take the brunt for them. It's kind of like a hero, isn't it?" Izuku flinched at those words. Where did she hear that?
"Remember Midoriya, it's not about doing what you want, it's about doing what's right. As long as you can follow that, you can become powerful in your own right." Sayuri kept her back facing him as she walked ahead.
Izuku was taken back when he heard those words from Sayuri herself. To say something encouraging to him was a bit of a surprise. After getting close to the nurse's office, Sayuri instructed Izuku to get himself fixed up and return to the rest of his classes.
Nurse's office
"Well, my scanner doesn't see anything wrong with you."
"I don't understand, my head felt like it was gonna burst earlier," Replied Izuku.
"Well, if you feel like resting. Go ahead, the bed is free."
"Thank you, Miss Ayumi."
Miss Ayumi Kasai was one of the School's infirmary nurses and she was also the coach for the girls' basketball team. Even though she was shy sometimes, she always showed off a cheerful attitude towards the students. She stood at 5 foot 9, wearing a white coat with a purple shirt underneath, she also had a black skirt with leggings and red high heels to complete her image. Ayumi had long yellowish brown hair and blue eyes, and with her slim figure, she was one of the goddesses of the school.
Boys would often fake their injuries just to see her but with the help her of Quirk "Scan", she had the ability to scan anything. With one glance, she can identify a person's illness, condition and attitude. With the help of her Quirk, she was able to help all the students with any type of illnesses. She was also like a mother to many students, if anyone ever needed to speak about anything, she was the first person they wanted to speak to.
"Well, I took care of all your wounds and bruises. So tell me Midoriya... Is it just a headache you come for or is it something else?" asked Ayumi.
"Huh?" Izuku completely forgot that Ayumi had the ability to tell how a person was feeling,
"I noticed how you were feeling pretty down about yourself today, more than usual."
"I-it's nothing, really."
"You know I probably don't need my quirk to know that something's bugging you, Midoriya. Please don't feel hesitant to talk to me, but I won't burden you if you don't wish to." Izuku felt touched by her words and smiled before looking at the ground. He sighed before looking over to Ayumi and smiled.
"Thank you Miss Ayumi. The truth is, it's about getting into Yuuei." Izuku confessed. Ayumi was actually surprised about it, she had no idea that he was trying to get into one of the highest ranking school in the world.
"Miss Ayumi, the truth is that I've been feeling down because up until now I was still confident in myself and my chosen path. Within these last few days, the negative confrontation that surrounds me has had an impact far too close than ever before. Even without a quirk, I did my best to do as much as I can but at times, it just isn't enough." Izuku scratched the back of his head as he gave off a light laugh.
"I just have a desire inside me to do more than what I can now. But sometimes, I just can't help but think… "what if I had a quirk"? It would probably be at an extreme opposite end." Said Izuku but then Ayumi placed her hand on his.
Even though he told Ayumi, he was expecting the same reaction from her as well. No one ever believed that he had a chance to get into a Yuuei because he was quirkless, Izuku didn't want to accept the reality and carried on chasing after his dreams even though everyone rejected them.
"Well, I think you can do it." Izuku looked at her with a surprised expression, hearing nothing but insults all day, he couldn't help but feel like crap. But hearing Ayumi's words, it sparked a light in him.
"R-really?"
"Of course. But you need to remember that it's not going to be easy for someone in your situation. Yuuei is one of the highest ranking schools in the world and acceptance rate are extremely low. No doubt, people told you that you couldn't get into Yuuei without a quirk." Ayumi kindly replied.
Izuku looked away since she was right. Everyone told him that it was impossible for him to become a hero without powers.
"Don't let others discourage you, Midoriya. After all, a hero needs more than just a quirk. They need to have the heart to put their life on the line for the sake of others. As long as you can do that, you can become a hero." Encouraged Ayumi.
"O-okay! I promise to do my best!" said Izuku with a bright smile on his face.
"And who knows, maybe you'll save my life one day." Ayumi and Izuku shared a laugh before he left for his class.
Chapter End
(A/N Hello everyone, a long time has passed since this fic was updated and for that, I apologise deeply. For those of you who don't know, I've officially entered University and it means that my time has been eaten by assignments and exams. So fic work has been extremely slow but thank you very much for still favouriting and following this fic.
Regarding the pairings of this fic, this was meant to be a surprise. I only placed him with multiple girls because let me say this, if you've read Spiderman comics then you know how popular Spiderman is with the ladies.
And of course, this fic wouldn't be as good if it weren't for the co-creators'/proof readers:
Neko Twins, Amber Benefield and Xward. I'd like to thank them for helping me out after all this time and help making this fic a lot better for you guys to enjoy. Please check out their stories if you get the chance, they're awesome!
Reviews (I can't answer all of them since there are ton! I'm still grateful though, so please throw in more. I would love to know how you guys feel about it)
Israel Pena: We're planning on introducing Spiderman Villains eventually but we first wanted to make sure that the timing was right and it didn't affect the main canon in a crazy way. Once the time arrives, we'll gladly notify you guys.
BloodyFangking95: The pairings will be shown in the future for now, it's simply a mystery.
painfulldarksoul: I still wanted to thank you for helping me. Since this was going to be one of the most popular fics I was about to do, I appreciated all the help I could get. Thank you very much for the criticism, I promise to work hard with the co-creators and reduce as much grammar and spelling errors as we can. Hopefully we made an improvement in this one compared to the previous chapter.
Nuno-oki: Thank you very much for the compliment. And if you do write a story, please let me know. I would love to read it when I get the chance.
Ghost: No need to worry, that was only a nightmare. He won't become man spider…or will he?
mario986: That sounds like a great idea but for now, it was best that we established the story first. And really, I don't see that happening until chapter…100? Also, I have very low knowledge regarding the Spider Verse so if needed, I'll have to call for extra help in the future.
zen-aku the spirit of the wolf: Xward, Neko Twins and Amber have been thinking about which powers would be available to him throughout the story but we have not finalised these choices yet.
Aishwarya Deb: Thank you very much for the compliment, I appreciate it since a lot was riding on this. Honestly, it might be a while before any signs of pairing is shown since there is a lot to cover for the introduction.
moonknight96: You can bet on it! But it might take a while before the right setting is placed for him to be introduced, since he is one of the most iconic ones.
Innocent Larry: Sorry to say but your nightmare has come true! Uploads are going to be extremely slow due to University taking my time. And you can definitely expect Spiderman Villains to arrive, somewhere in the future.
Takei Daloui: Believe me, this story ain't dying at all. Sorry that this chapter was pretty short but believe me when I say, the next one isn't that far from being done as well.
ThatDude: Thank you very much for your opinion on this story, I extremely appreciate it. We have been thinking about it for a while now whether or not if he was going to get "One for all" and we finally came up with a conclusion. Which you can find out in the next chapter!
That's all for now folks. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night and a happy new year! By the time I upload this, Christmas is over.)
