Hey guys Goku here and I'm back with another chapter. I know it's been a couple of months. I'll just give you my usual apology and excuse of being lazy. I had just finished the fall semester and I was not in a good mindset. When I posted the three chapters for my stories, I had worked on them at the end of the semester when I had kinda given up on the semester. So while I had a break, I still just needed time to relax and not stress over everything and I frankly didn't feel like writing. If writing feels like a chore to me then I won't be inclined to do it. Anyway I'm just gonna shut up and get on with the chapter.
The next morning Izuku woke up early to meet All Might at Takoba Beach. When he arrived he found All Might waiting for him in gym clothes surrounded by mountains of trash.
"Um All Might, why are we in a Junkyard?" Izuku asked curiously.
"Good question my boy! Hero work isn't always about fighting villains and saving people. Sometimes it's the little things that make a difference. So for your training, you will clean this entire beach! Not only will you build muscle, you'll be providing service to this community. Now before we begin, I'd like you to explain everything you know about your new powers. Don't spare me any details."
Izuku's mouth dropped when All Might told him he would clean the entire beach, but he composed himself to answer his new mentor. "Alright, so firstly I have partial immortality. I can regenerate any damage I take aside from damage to my head. Wait if I regenerate all damage then would I even be able to get stronger? You build muscles by tearing them and having them grow stronger. So then I wouldn't be able to train at all and I'm gonna have the same body forever!"
"Alright kid I'm just gonna take over here." Ban interrupted Izuku's muttering rant.
"Wait what?"
Izuku slumped over for a second before straightening back up with red eyes. "Ok I'm gonna explain everything to you old man because Izuku is just gonna go off on his mutter sprees otherwise so listen up."
"Old man? Would I be correct to assume that you are Ban?" The pro hero asked, concerned for his pupil.
"Yeah I took temporary control from the kid because he was muttering like crazy. I'll put him back once I'm done explaining things so listen up. Izuku can regenerate any major damage sustained unless it's to his brain. Any damage there is permanent. Any other injuries will heal but they won't be as fast. Basically for the small things his healing factor is boosted, and for the major things he's immortal."
All Might nodded his head to show that he was listening.
"Next is my magic."
"Magic?"
"Yes it's similar to what you call Quirks. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Quirks developed as an offshoot of magic, but anyway my magic is Snatch. It allows me to steal anything that I can see whether it be physical items, peoples strength, or their senses. Izuku has also gained some of my speed and is generally very fast now. That's all for now. I had another ability, but I have no clue if the kid will ever obtain it. As time goes on and our souls merge more and more he will have my full capabilities, but right now he's still a scrawny little kid. So I'm asking you to train him up as much as you can." Ban asked the hero. All Might nodded in response. "Alright that's all I got so take care of the kid." Ban raised his hand in a wave before Izuku's body slumped again and his eyes returned to normal.
"Sorry about that All Might. I didn't know Ban could do that."
"It's all right my boy. Ban explained everything about your new power so now let's get started!"
"Right!"
Izuku was struggling to pull a fridge across the sand as All Might was sitting on top of the fridge.
"Man this fridge is so comfy to sit on." All Might teased.
"It'd be easier if you didn't weigh so much!" Izuku growled before he used Snatch to steal strength from All Might and pull the fridge forward causing All Might to be knocked off the fridge.
"Understandable, but Young Midoriya I don't want you using Snatch to move things, that would defeat the purpose of your training." All Might scolded.
Izuku realized what he did and panically apologized. "I'm sorry All Might! I'm still getting used to the personality merge." He said, rubbing the back of his head.
"No worries my boy. This is part of training as well. Getting used to the merge is important along with learning to use your power, but right now we need to work on getting you in shape."
"Right!"
Over the next ten months Izuku slowly cleared the beach and worked on his body. He grew more comfortable with the merge and now his personalities have mixed instead of swapping like a switch. He still has his same unique 'quirks' but now is more confident and intolerant to bullshit. While this has caused a few issues in school, nobody really messed with him once he told them all off and showed off his new powers. The merge has also affected his body more. He has now grown to 6'2" and his physique has started to resemble Ban's but still looks like himself. He now has a better grasp of his power and can use it effortlessly now. He even discovered that he can steal body parts. Though he doesn't want to use that ability especially after he discovered it when he almost stole All Might's heart by accident.
One day Izuku decided to help his mother out. "Hey mom I want to thank you for everything you do so why don't I make dinner for us tonight."
"Oh that's very sweet of you sweetie but are you sure you can handle it? I was planning on inviting the Bakugos over tonight as well."
"That's fine the more the merrier. I can handle it. Apparently Ban was a master chef in his life so I should be fine."
"Ok sweetie."
Izuku smiled then went to prep dinner for five. It had been a bit since he had seen the Bakugos so he wanted to make sure that it went well. His and Katsuki's relationship would never be the same as it once was, but it was better than it had been in years.
After explaining everything that happened, Izuku and Katsuki had a long talk and through a lot of yelling, some confessions, and some "motivation" from Mitsuki, the two reconciled and began to rebuild the friendship they once lost. Katsuki still acts the same way, but his comments to Izuku are more from a rivalry point than a bullying point. There were even a couple times that the two sparred together because Katsuki wanted to "test how immortal you really are". Once he was done prepping everything the doorbell rang. He answered the door and was greeted by the Bakugos waiting outside.
"Oh my god Zuku, look at you so tall and muscly. That merge really did wonders for you." Mitsuki complemented as she hugged the teen.
"Thanks auntie, but it wasn't just Ban. I also did a lot of training myself." He responded, returning the hug.
"Ha ha ha I'm sure you did. You and Katsuki are still getting along right? I know you guys worked some things out, but the brat won't tell me anything when I ask."
"Yeah we're doing fine, isn't that right Guila," Izuku said smirking.
"Deku," Katsuki growled.
"Well come on in, I'll have dinner ready in a bit." Izuku said, leading the three into the apartment.
"Are you going to be cooking for us Izuku?" Masaru asked.
"Yes, I am Uncle. I wanted to help out mom so I decided that I would make dinner tonight."
"Pft like you would ever be able to cook something edible Deku." Katsuki scoffed.
"Actually Ban was a master chef in his life." Izuku responded with a shit eating grin. He then began to work on dinner at a fast pace. So much so that his arms seemed to move rapidly at super speed.
"Um Izuku," Izuku turned his head around but his arms were still working at the same pace.
"What?"
"Are you sure that you should be working that fast?" Masaru asked.
"Oh yeah this is nothing. This speed is a part of my abilities."
Katsuki had enough and slammed his hands on the table while standing up. "Damn Deku. You won't get farther than me. I help make dinner and do it better than you!" He declared.
"Sure thing Guila. You can cut the onions."
"Don't tell me what to do nerd!" Katsuki yelled as he started to cut the onions at the same speed that Izuku was going.
They continued this for the next hour or so and finally when they were done there were five people's worth of Katsudon ready to eat.
"Mhhmm, Zuku this is amazing!" Mitsuki said as she held her face in delight.
"Yes I am very surprised. I know you said that Ban was a master chef but I didn't think he would be this good." Masaru added.
"It might even be better than my Katsudon." Inko laughed.
"I don't know about that." Izuku responded. "I did a great job, but your Katsudon is the best mom."
"I helped with it too, Deku!" Katsuki yelled.
"Yes Guilla, you did a great job cutting the onions. Do you want a cookie sweetie?"
The group laughed as Katsuki sat down grumbling to himself.
"So boys, do you think you're ready for the entrance exam?"
"Of course I'm ready Old Man. I'm gonna ace this test and get the top score, so don't think about trying to beat me Deku." Katsuki answered.
"I don't know Guila. I am pretty strong now. Who knows? I might end up stealing that spot from you." Izuku said with his new signature shit eating grin.
"You watch Deku. I will get the top spot and you won't stop me." Katsuki grinned.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
"So is this normal for them?" Inko whispered to Mitsuki.
"Yeah, but hey it's better than they were before." Mitsuki whispered back.
The two laughed as they looked at the two boys silently challenging one another.
Today was the day. The day of the U.A. Entrance Exam. Izuku was standing on the beach early in the morning admiring his cleanup work. The beach now looked beautiful as the morning sun reflected off the water onto the now trash free sand.
"I'm surprised to see you here my boy." Toshinori said, coming up behind the pseudo-immortal.
"I'm just reflecting on my progress. It's been a long ten months." The boy said.
"Yes it has, but look at you now. You are not the same scrawny kid you were when we started." Toshinori said, showing the teen a picture of him struggling at the beginning of the ten month period.
"You know you're lucky that I can't steal data." Izuku replied, annoyed by the photo.
"Haha yes, I suppose I lucked out on that fact."
"So what are you doing here Toshi-san?"
"Much like you my boy, I came here to reflect over the time since I met you, and maybe to find you here. I wanted to see you and wish you luck before the exam. It is disappointing that you are unable to receive my power though. You would have made a great successor, but I am still proud of your progress nonetheless."
Izuku just smiled back at his mentor. "Oh yeah that reminds me. If I could take One for All, how would I even receive it?"
"Well I would make a speech about earning this power before plucking out my hair like this." All Might said going into his buff form and pulling a strand of his hair out. "And holding it out to you I would say,"
"Eat This."
Izuku blinked in confusion for a second before retorting to the man. "What?! That's how it is transferred?!" He yelled.
"Yes, One for All needs to be transferred willingly via the user's DNA, and I figured this would be the least disgusting way to do it."
"Right well anyway, thanks All Might. I'm gonna get to the exam. Don't wanna be late."
"Good luck my boy!" All Might waved at the boy as he ran off at inhumane speeds. "Like he needs the luck anyway." He laughed to himself.
Izuku stood in front of U.A. admiring the building. "This is it. I never thought that I would actually get the chance to achieve my dream, but here I am. I have you to thank for that Ban."
"It wasn't just me kid. You worked hard to get to where you're at. Now go get em!" The voice shouted.
"Right, here I g…" Right as he took a step Izuku's foot caught on the other and he started falling towards the ground. "GOD DAMN SON OF A BI…"
Suddenly his whole body stopped in mid air with Izuku confused until he heard a voice.
"Sorry about using my Quirk on you. I just think it wouldn't be right for you to hurt yourself before the exam." A girl with brown hair in a bob cut repositioned him before putting all her fingers together with a smile.
"Thanks for that. I appreciate it. Forgive me but I would like to know the name of my savior."
"Oh uh it's Ochako Uraraka." She said, blushing a bit.
"Izuku Midoriya. We better get in there. Good luck on the test Pink Cheeks." He said leaving the girl a blushing mess.
"That was pathetic Deku." Katsuki said walking past Izuku.
"Oh you're just mad that you can't get a girl Guila."
"Why would I even want one! They'd only slow me down."
"Maybe you'd be better off with a guy." Izuku stated with his grin.
"S-shut up you damn Deku!" Katsuki stormed off leaving Izuku laughing.
Once Present Mic was done explaining, and that one kid pulled the stick out of his ass, Izuku arrived at Battle Center B for his practical. He looked around at the other kids taking the exam and saw all new quirks he had never seen before. He saw the kid with glasses stretching his legs with exhaust pipes sticking out of his calves. He also saw the brunette girl he met earlier and was going to walk towards her, but then he saw her. There was a purple haired girl about 5'2 with what looked to be headphone jacks coming from her ear lobes. She was wearing a fitting purple tracksuit and a pair of black track pants. Izuku was frozen in place just staring at the beauty in front of him.
"You better cool it kid. Unless you wanna do the exam with a hard-on." Ban said.
"I know, but I just have never seen someone like her before."
"Hehe I know that look. You want to steal her don't you?"
"I don't like the term "steal her", but I wouldn't mind getting to know her."
"Well, let's hope that she makes it into U.A. then you'll have all the time to get to know her. For now let's focus up on this exam."
"Right." Izuku got into a stance in front of the large metal doors. As soon as Present Mic yelled start, he sprinted off at high speeds into the mock city leaving everyone else dumbfounded at the gates.
He ran through the city searching for any robots until he found a group of two pointers coming towards him. He held out his hand and yelled "Fox Hunt!" One by one the two pointers' heads came clean off and soared towards Izuku's hand. "Heh that was too easy. This exam will be a piece of cake."
"This sure is a fine crop of students this year." Vlad King said.
"Such versatile quirks. I'm sure plenty of them will make great heroes." Ectoplasm said.
"Look at that Bakugo kid. He's blasting through the bots like they are nothing." Powerloader pointed out.
"Yes but my eye is on this boy." Nezu said, staring at Izuku on the screen. "He is effortlessly taking out the robots as well as actively making sure those around him are ok."
"Definitely seems like hero potential. What's his quirk?" Snipe said.
"Well according to his file he doesn't have one."
"What?! But how? He is able to take the heads of the robots clean off and move people out of the way without touching them?" Midnight asked.
"I do not know. We can find out answers after the test, but for now I think we better test the examinees." Nezu laughed maniacally as he pressed the large red button.
"Alright, that should be enough points. I can probably relax till the exam is over." Izuku said as he was about to relax until the ground started to shake. "What is that?" He looked up to see a giant skyscraper robot. "That must be the zero pointer. No reason to fight that. I should get out of here"
"HELP!"
Izuku stopped and looked to see Uraraka trapped under a piece of rubble. He looked around to see all the other kids running away. 'What the hell are they doing?! They want to be heroes, yet they run away and don't help someone?! Idiots all of them.' Izuku ran forward to help the girl and saw that at least one other person went to help her as well. Izuku almost froze when he saw that the purple haired girl came to help, but he focused himself to make sure that Uraraka would be saved. He quickly ran over and pulled the rubble off of her. "Can you stand?"
"N-no I think my ankle's broken." Uraraka said.
"I see. Here take her and get her to safety." He told the purple haired girl.
"Ok, but what are you going to do?" She asked.
"I'm gonna stop this thing."
"What? Are you crazy? There's no way you can stop that thing? Why do you even want to stop it? Why can't we just get away?"
"Because there might be others that need help, and stopping this robot is the best way to protect everyone. Now stand back." Izuku said as he removed his jacket.
"Oh-oh my." The purple haired girl said blushing while staring at his muscles.
Izuku crouched down and then jumped into the air with a large amount of speed. 'This will really mess up my body, but I have to do this. This is what a hero would do!' Izuku held his arms out and yelled, "HUNTER FEST!"
The purple haired girl's eyes widened as she heard that phrase.
Everyone within the exam area suddenly felt their strength start to leave their bodies. Izuku's body started to bulk up more as he raised his fist back and shot towards the giant bot. "Banishing Kill!" Izuku shot through the giant, cleaving it's head clean off. Both the examinees and the teachers stared in shock at what the boy did as he now began falling towards the ground. "Shit! I have no way to stop myself. I can't move after using Hunter Fest. If my head hits the ground then I'm toast!" Izuku closed his eyes waiting for the impact of the ground only for it to come sooner than he expected.
"Rising Meteor!"
A star shaped pillar rose up from the ground to catch Izuku and soften his fall. The pillar then lowered him back to the ground.
'Where have I heard that phrase before? Wait! It can't be!' Izuku thought as his eyes widened.
Once he was back on the ground the purple haired girl walked towards him. "I wasn't sure if anyone else had come back yet, but I see that you are already causing mischief. Right Ban?"
"Hehe it's good to see you, Diane. So what's your name beautiful?"
"I-It's uh K-Kyoka Jiro." She responded blushing while trying to hide her face with her jacks.
"Izuku Midoriya. You have a cute name." Was the last thing he said before his world went dark.
And that's it for this chapter. Another Sin finally shows themselves. Were you surprised who it was? I got much more planned for this story so stay tuned for whenever I get to updating it. That's all from me Dragneel Out!
