Chapter 2 - Fated encounter -

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN MHA aka MY HERO ACADEMIA


Lot of time went by with nothing particularly different happened in Midoriya's life regarding what he already get accustomed to. Days flied after one and the other, while Midoriya's mind was already becoming dull of everyday boredom to nothing to do. Although he could do many things as free of charge nothing has got his interest since he couldn't share the experience with others. He only managed to record it in one of his notebooks. 'What is point to write these, if I can't share it' he thought as he tossed one of ghost notebooks to ever increasing neat, organized pile of his, making it to fall to unruly mess. The amount of notebooks increased like flies on the rotting meat already on three digits in number. Consisting mostly his dull experiences of his everyday life, but other part is analyzing other people's quirks. It was still Midoriya's favorite hobby and he read again and again. One could say that he is walking quirk encyclopedia that could theorize accurately weaknesses and strengths, and also categorize quirks depending of the potential and what it does of said quirk. Although one might think that as arrogance, these were actually carefully created by considering application. More he learned quirks the more accurately he could see potential. But until now he haven't recognize at least similar quirk than his. This boosted his loneliness to extreme levels.

'Why I'm so different from the others? Why nobody else have similar quirk? Please... somebody... anybody' He pleaded with his none existenced voice inside his room, but nobody came.

It was practically very rare quirk that allows some kind of invisibility, while not be very powerful one could easily sneak everywhere if they were strong willed enough to walk naked. But Midoriya's loneliness now for the first time, shattered his strong kind will after near decade of suppressing his loneliness he couldn't take it any longer. Tears run down from his face while he was in cornered of his room in fetus position. From his clothes and body everywhere leaving blueish flames increased in size and more frequently than normally. This dropped his room's temperature by 9 degree Celsius making his room temperature around 13*C which wasn't a lot but a lot chiller than normal room and it was continuing to get colder, he was having a breakdown. His mother Inko noticing sudden drop of their department's temperature she rushed straight to her son's room.

"What's wrong? Why there this cold?" Inko said in concerned tone. This increased midoriya's sense of futility even more, increasing intensity how fast cold air filled the room.

'Mother... please..., hear me... ' He pleaded full of anguish. But she couldn't hear it. Small frost started to appear one of corner and what her motherly instincts told her to do she did it without regarding her own safety. She rushed to corner and as if she sensed silhouette of his now 14-year-old son, she hugged him to point that he was really seemed hugging him. There weren't any overlaps.

"It is alright let all out" Inko did what her mother instincts were told to tell him. Reassuring and apologizing her inability to help his son and continued.

"I'm sorry that I can't hear, I'm sorry that sometimes I can't feel you, I'm sorry that I can't do anything to help you. I'm sorry that I can't share your pain." She cried herself but certain warmth came from her. But she was getting cold. Coldness of the room and being too close to source she developed frostbite.

'MOTHER...You... !' Midoriya unable to finish and unable to do anything to help the situation before his mother continued.

"Do you remember what was your.. happiest day..?" Inko asked, strenght leaving her as cold getting toll on her.

"It was.. Your birthday.. When you were 4 years old... Try to remember what you got as.. birthday gift.." Inko continued her speak while it was getting slower.

"It.. was... All might costumed... hoodie.. remember? That day... You had the... brightest smile tha..t... could have melt...anyon..es heart. Try to remember" Inko stopped but just in time. Midoriya's forgotten memories of his 4th birthday flooded his mind opening icy walls that now surrounded him. Walls were melted immediately from the warmth of that day. He remember how innocently he jumped in place everywhere while having that hoodie he could feel All Might's infectious reassuring smile while wearing that hoodie. In that split second his clothes turned into teen sized version of it. If you're would be ghost as well you'd see midoriya's eyes almost losing their light suddenly burst with bright light. He could feel warmth everywhere even if that wasn't true. Temperature returned slowly in the room. His flickering flames were now fused colors of blue and green undoing everything that he has affected to his surroundings for a short while. He calmed down of sudden roller coast of emotion and worried of his mothers well being.

"See. Midoriya.. You have power to affect surroundings.. I'm fine and it seems you are at least little better." Inko said completely fine like she never had huge frost bite from beginning.

Midoriya were dumbfounded, never before he couldn't have manipulated surrounding temperature to this degree. It is autonomic effect of his quirk 'ghost' that effected his surroundings depending of his emotion. This was that he already knew but those greenish small flames that left from his astral body, he never seen them before. They had some kind of healing effect to surroundings, like warm aura that rejuvenate. This was good news to him. At same time his mother Inko were exhausted and rightfully so. She had quite emotional roller coaster herself as well. She remained in her son's room and borrowed his bed that hadn't have a person to sleep in it for years and went to sleep. Bed were unused due Midoriya's inability to sleep. His body didn't need sleep although his mind really needed it but his ghost body never allowed him to. But Midoriya was deep in thought.

'This quirk...there is lot more to it than it seems, maybe there is more hidden abilities that I don't know yet. Those greenish flames indicate this being true.. Maybe I could discover new things.' He started to mumble out loud, but no one can hear this. Which was good for him this was slightly annoying side of our lovable ghost nerd. He grabbed the quirk analysis notebook from messy pile and picked one of the few named ones [Quirk analysis #1 'The Ghost'], and started write what greenish flames that he had that short while could possibly do. He also written couple of possible hidden abilities. This fueled hope inside of him. He has reached his rock bottom and now slowly climbs back.


7 Months later after the breakdown, Midoriya were 15 year old now. Aka last year of middle school in Japan and while this didn't meant a lot of him this was the time that it meant everything to Bakugo. It was year that he could try to enter #1 High school in Japan the hero school U.A Academia after middle school has ended. Entrance exams in such school were hard, but our hard driven explosive friend this wasn't a hard job. He has aced many written exams and practical mock exams relative ease he wasn't worried. He had powerful quirk, determination, and believe or not, brains to join to this massively popular school. On the other hand...

|Meanwhile in other middle school|

There was uneasiness in the air. One particular class where certain group of girls have stress of upcoming entrance exams to U.A. Their quirks weren't powerful in the fight at least two of them didn't have. They broke the ice by conversing themselves.

"Will I get to U.A? I'm nervous that I'm not strong enough to join in." One said with timid but rather loud voice.

"Don't worry Toru, You are academically brilliant and your quirk is convenient to sneak around." Other said to Toru reassuring that she has capabilities to join.

"B-bu...t that means I need to walk naked! I don't want to be stared upon! NO I can't" Toru Hagakure said rather embarrased of such Idea.

"How dare you to suggest something like THAT. To me. I know that Invisibility can do that but still what if somebody accidentally touch me or, if I am clumsy myself. How embarrassing it would be. Can you guess Mina?" She addressed her friend to apologize to her for making such vulgar suggestion.

Playful pink girl chuckled, she once again managed to tease her invisible friend.

"Soorry" Mina Ashido commented with tone that suggest she really didn't mean much. But both girls knew that it was friendly teasing and Toru brushed it off after third one said.

"If you girls could play around that much, I'm confident all of us will pass entrance exams." Said third one in the group. She was by far the most dignified in the group. That comes for granted. She came from rather rich family.

"I guess you are right Momo." Mina said rather proudly.

"Yes!" Toru agreed.

Rest of school time went as normal as one should be. They talked various topics and helped each other in different subjects. Ring of the school was sign of that school day came to end and girls went separate ways.


Momo was picked by her father's secretary.

"Did you have fun day" Secretary asked. Not by concern but rather duty given by Momo's father.

"Yes let's go home" Momo answered back. In the car secretary said following.

"Still planing to join U.A? You know your father doesn't like the idea of you becoming a hero." Momo scoffed, with clear irritation.

"Have you already forgotten that I made deal with him?" Momo strikes back.

"No, I have not forgotten the deal you made with you father. I was simply stating how you father feels regarding to your future plans." Secretary answered back. Conversation ended there with cold tone.


Mina skated trough streets by her roller skates to her on home which was near. Before he entered to house she weard off her skates and opened the front door.

"Hello I'm home!" Mina said. And as soon this was heard her twin little brothers came rushing in and stick them selves in her athletic legs.

"LOOK. Big sister came" Said both at the same time ecstatic. While mother came from the kitchen to command two brothers to let go her daughter.

"Etsumi, Itsuki! let go your sister she can barely walk right now." Mina's mother said.

"OKAY!" said both. They released their sister from bother chains. This was normal in Ashido household. After that everyday incident Mina ate dinner and went to her room.


Toru were walking slowly towards her own home that was rather far from the school but she didn't mind it. She liked the longs walks, it was perfect time to clear and sort out her head of the days events. But something catches her attention while midway through. It was teen looking boy levitating around. To be clear he was transparent and blueish grey in color with no distinct other colors. As he moved small veil leaved from him and followed him when ever he went. But suddenly stopped. Midoriya felt someone is watching him but couldn't find the reason until he saw one girl staring at him.

'She can't see me can't she?' he thought out loud.

"Hey come down you can't use your quirk in public if it isn't constantly active one." Toru said.

'She- she can see me?' He was on verge of tears. Finally after a decade someone can actually see him let alone a girl. He went down towards this girl and landed near to her. Not to scare her away he went rather slowly towards her.

"So what are you doing here? I don't remember seeing you here before?" Toru started immediately asking boy for answers.

'I was mapping this place' He answered. But then..

"What I can't hear you. Will you answer?" Toru said clearly noticing that weird boys mouth were moving but unable to hear anything. Her tone were getting uncomfortable for some reason.

'So she can't hear me but can see me? Good' Midoriya thought and made sign to wait a little, then he materialized one notebook and a pencil from his astral body. Toru snapped a little seeing clearly multiple abilities one of which reminded her friend Momo's quirk. He then opened notebook and started to write something. The he showed one page where he written his introduction.

'Hi, My name is Izuku Midoriya nice to meet you. And to answer to why I was levitating it was no one else besides you could see me after decade after my quirk manifested. It is one of many my abilities of my quirk ghost that renders me as a ghost. I am invisible to others and I go trough to walls... I'm sorry if I startled you just now. What is your name?'

This shocked her. His quirk were clearly more powerful than her own but were pondered should she answer and she came to conclusion to answer.

"Hi I am Haragure Toru. And is it true that you are ghost? Seems unbelievable." She introduced herself. Midoriya started to write again and showed the next page.

'Well for starters. You clearly couldn't hear me and that's because I don't have physical vocal chords to produce sound that you would hear. also you saw me levitate, Anyway do you perhaps have similar quirk to mine? That could be only believable reason why you can see me.' Toru was thought for a moment.

"Well Y-e-s, I have quirk invisibility. I am invisible to others but I'm not a ghost." Then realization came to Midoriya. He could see completely how beautiful girl is standing next to her. Her beautiful face and white hair. And started to write.

'But I can see you, not just your clothes but your beautiful eyes and hair.' He was showing his written words rather shyly or perhaps embarrassed. But this time to Toru get shy.

Embarrassed and blushed she asked "Really? What color they are." She knows herself but she was testing the boy. There were others that told same thing but then have lied about her features. Noticing what Toru was doing he write everything detail to detail how her face looked like to him honestly and leaving no details behind. Showing this Toru yelled covering her face with her hands "Rip it apart I believe you.!" Midoriya did what Toru asked to and ripped paper from the notebook as soon at that was done paper vanished. After couple of minutes both calmed down and started to talk about many things. Toru with voice and Midoriya with notebook. But when time flies so does need to go home.

"Look at the time I have to go home, otherwise my parents will worry. Sorry about this Midoriya. Tomorrow same place same time?" Toru said rather flustered realizing what time it is. Right after Midoriya write as fast as he could 'SURE'. After this Toru stormed off. Midoriya went to his own home. He was genuinely happy of this days events. Maybe it was similarities of quirks between them but this days events connected them more deeply than others might expect.


End of chapter 2 - Fateful encounter -

[Authors notes: Hello. I was surprised how much views only one chapter brought. It made me work a little faster than normal, motivation I guess. And as you have read it there is some my created stuff between girls and their families. For example those identical twins in Ashido household, while not be cannon characters I wanted to show little by little why girls personalities have formed what we know from canon. Momo's family situation is such cliche rich family restraint trobe that I will not gonna get into before far later aka maybe slight changes in her personality in this story. Tell me if there is errors.]

[Also Thank you the one that reviewed my mistake previous chapter. I forgot Midoriya's mothers name error being one letter so I corrected it in this chapter. And again I appreciate all reviews that I can get, if their are constructive criticism. Also I made three girls attend same middle school because I want them to be friends and knew something between themselves. Both Itsuki and Etsumi were names that represent trees if I remember correctly making them similar because they were identical twins were only reason to name them that way. Anyway there will not be many characters that I create to this story. Again thank you for reading and see you soon.]

[Sincerely: Mr River]

Ps. I am somewhat knowledgeable that Toru in canon were spy for All for one, but that will not happen here, or will it...? Who knows not me that for sure.
