-guest- glad you enjoyed it.

-superjukes2- same here can't wait for the next chapter as I don't really go in planning word for word I just have an idea of what I want to happen in the chapter as I wanted izuku to have the dream but him getting lose to ram was something I did last minute.

-orichar- don't worry about it. I understudy it completely.

-weird man- ok so yea I'm going back and fixing that mistake and as for the exposition I went back and fix that too I added a conversation with mei that makes it more organic and also makes what happens in this chapter seem less sudden and more natural. but don't worry you won't have to re-read the entire chapter just the beginning part as that's what I changed the most.

-guest- yea don't worry I'm gonna make sure to fix that.

-dantheman- glad you enjoy this as I really enjoy writing this story as I feel like this is the first story of its kind on this site because I couldn't find any story similar to mine. before I posted mine.

-Exoticidiot- so this is gonna be in two paragraphs each addressing the comments. as for the first one remember the only reason at least to my knowledge rem even attacked Subaru in the first place was because of the witches sent and because izuku hasn't died yet the sent would be so faint it is practically nonexistent and ram for all her insults towards Subaru taught him how to read. as for why his danger sense hasn't gone off when he met Roswaal is the fact that as strong as danger sense is it doesn't really pick up on intentions as far as I know it only picks up on direct danger to and around the user and intentions towards the user but as far as Roswaal himself wasn't even sure about Subaru's ability as he confirmed it in the sanctuary then again I could be wrong and if that's the case expect me to go back and rewrite the second chapter.

so as for the affinity problem, it really didn't make sense, in my opinion, to give him one as he's quirkless in his world and I'm trying to tie magic and quirks together like they're the same just one takes place in an era that's nowhere near as advanced. so it would make sense the people of that era would belive its magic yea sorry if it sounded dumb. Not to mention the way izuku acts his whole demeanor is geared towards seeming harmless if any thing he's curious rather than scared since Izuku doesn't rub him that way. Because keep in mind all they have seen of izuku is his Ernest desire to help people. Because let's be honest izuku is a monster when he's fighting especially manga deku which is why they haven't seen him fight like the demon he is.

as always please review, I will always listen and fix the mistakes you guys point out.

P.S. expect me in the future to go back and change something because it will either make what's happening to make sense or it will fix continuity errors I might make. as I'm just an amateur writer that has insecurity issues.

/update fix some mistakes and rewrote minor details also fix punctuation errors.\\


day 5


When izuku opened his eyes, he was met with a workshop. looking around he heard a voice, mei's voice.

"hey izuku can you pass me that wrench"

passing her the ranch izuku just stayed quiet, not sure if this is a dream or not.

"Hey izuku what time are you leaving, for your talk with your mentor."

"At five why"

"Well I need your help, testing a new baby of mine"

"Oh, which one."

"It's the battle armor, you know the one we've been working on, for the past week" she drawled not unlike one explaining to a confused child.

"Alright I have time, so what are we working on today."

"So day we're gonna test if it can handle great internal stress." mei stated, as she walked out of the personal workshop, yuuei gave their third years.

"How do we do that" izuku asked, as he followed her outside.

"Simple." she pressed a series of numbers, on a keypad that opened up an armory, in the center of the field "we're gonna have you use your maximum of 80%, just to see if it can handle your power."

"Ok, so what happens if it cant."

"Then it's back to the drawing board."

as she rushed past him, he blinked and the workshop turned into the void.

"well, izuku we have a problem."

turning to his left, izuku was met with the fourth user of one for all, Hikage Shinomori.

"whats that"

"Whatever this thing is, it stopped trying to push us out and so have we."

"why is that a problem."

"it's simple really, much like one for all the thing appears to be attached to your soul."

"that's news."

"Really it's kinda obvious, and with there being literally remints of previous users soul."

his deadpan face made izuku feel kinda dumb, as was implied by Toshinori when he passed on the quirk. turning to izuku he spoke again.

"any way how's my quirk been treating you."

"it's great all things considered, and I've gotten used to the stabbing sensation, a long time ago."

at the fourths nod, izuku went to ask him a question.

"Hey, why can't I use one for all at 100%, is my body just not strong enough."

Hikage Shinomori opened his mouth, and right as words came out, izuku felt a pain he was all too familiar with, joint pain. shooting up from the bed, he felt his whole right hand seize up, and then his wrist started to ache.

"dammit must be a snowstorm coming."

izuku got up and began to make his way outside for his morning routine. he messaged his wrist, and his hand hoping the pain would dissipate before, he started his workout. after his workout he took a shower. Then he went to the kitchen to help ram and rem prepare for breakfast.

"good morning ram, rem. what are we making this morning."

"oh izuku, well I figure something light so were having oatmeal.

"ok well, ill get started on the cleaning."

before he could leave ram stopped him.

"well do to the attack yesterday Roswaal gave us the day off, so we could recuperate."

"nice, how are you two gonna spend your day off"

"well we were just gonna relax mostly"

"ok... oh um do you guys have a library because now that I can read, I would like to learn more about the kingdom I'm staying in."

"yea it's just down the hall, make a right then a left and, it's the fourth door on the left"

"thanks ram, well see yea"

izuku dashed off, unable to hear rem or ram ask if he wanted to eat breakfast.

izuku followed the directions ram gave him, but as he was about to open the door, he felt a strange pull towards the door next to it, deciding that curiosity does, in fact, kill the cat he opened the door, and looking inside he saw the same little girl, he saw on his first night here. walking forward he looked around, he noticed how this place had a lot of shelves, with books on in them.

he walked up to the short blond with hair that spiraled downwards towards the floor, it reminded him of nejire's hair in her hero costume, only point down instead of up.

"hey do you have any history books I could read"

"I have many history books, but why do you want to read them I suppose."

"well, I would like to know the history of the country I'm in."

"then why not go to Roswaal's library."

"wait this isn't the library."

"This is the forbidden library I suppose."

"oh... I'm so sorry ill just take my leave now"

izuku felt really awkward if this really is a forbidden library. Then she probably thought, he wanted some book on events, the normal history books didn't cover. bowing down he started to make his way out only for her to stop him.

"it's that book on the third shelf towards the right."

"oh, ok thank you"

he grabbed the book and sat down on the floor, so he could read. and that's what happened for most of the day. Izuku silently reading and pretending to not notice the girl's sidelong glances.

then he felt his stomach grumble. standing up he put the book back where he got it and said his goodbyes.

"Alright thank you for letting me read the book um"

noting his plight she responded,

"my name is Beatrice, and your name is."

"izuku, izuku midoriya"

he held his hand out and she shook it

"well I'll be back after I finish diner, and whatever anyone might need help with so see ya later."

as izuku left he missed what she said.

"that is if you can find this place again which I highly doubt."

when izuku stepped out he noticed it was dark.

"wow its night time already"

he went to the kitchen to make himself something to eat. once there he saw rem and ram silently working on dinner.

"hey, ram, rem what yall cooking."

"izuku where have you been all day. when I went to get you for lunch, you weren't in the library."

"oh, I was in the forbidden library reading up on some history."

"wait you were in the forbidden library, and Beatrice let you read a book"

ram looked shocked, as she turned to rem they had a silent conversation.

"Well anyway, we've just finished dinner so go ahead, and grab a boul for yourself. it's just us as everybody else already ate."

rem gestured to the already prepared bowls of soup. they ate in silence but, not an uncomfortable one. as it was time to clean up izuku was tasked with putting away the dishes that had already dried.

While putting away a cup izuku's hand cramped up and he dropped the cup. rem looked over and saw how izuku was clutching his hand, and the cups shattered pieces, spread across the floor.

"izuku are you ok, where did you hurt yourself."

"I'm fine just my hand cramping up."

"oh, why does that happen, your not at that age where your joints would be weak."

"well you see"

he showed her his full arm, rem gasped at the many scars.

"w-what happened."

izuku pointed to the scars on his finger.

"This I got at a school event when I first got my power."

"rem is confused."

"oh, right I explained this to your sister, but not you."

izuku took a deep breath then, he gave her the same explanation he gave ram.

"oh I see, but how did you do that to your arm."

"well, you know how if you break a bone, and don't set it properly, or put a cast on it in time they could heal wrong."

at rems nod, he continued.

"I kept breaking the bones, even after they were little more than dust."

"that's stupid why would you do that to yourself."

the newcomer turned out to be ram.

"oh, ram well you see it was because my mentor asked me to win a competition."

"did you win?"

izuku kept his head down.

"you're an idiot."

"hey, but I did manage to help my classmate and best friend."

at ram and rems deadpan stare, izuku felt the urge to continue with his story. pointing to the rest of his arm he began.

"and the rest came from my training camp."

"oh, what happened."

"rem is concerned, dose most of your stories end in you getting hurt in some way."

"ha, this is actually the last one I think."

ram and rem shared a look they began to understand what kind of fighter izuku was. he was the type to go all out, even at the cost of himself in other words, not something you would want to fight. unless you could out brute force or outlast him.

"well, this one is actually a lot more selfless than me wanting to win a competition." taking a deep breath he started again.

"While we were at the camp some bad people attacked us, intending to kidnap one of my friends. I was on top of a cliff with a little kid, and some guy who was just as if not stronger than me, at the time, he wanted to kill the kid and me."

"rem is curious as to why he wanted to kill you and the kid."

"he just wanted to do it for fun, no other reason besides it was fun. the group he was with let him do as he pleased, so long as they captured their target."

"so what happened next."

"well ram he rushed me, and I just barely reacted in time. then I tried to punch him with everything I had, breaking my arm in the process."

"did you get him?"

now both ram and rem were interested in the story.

"ha, I wish."

his laugh through off both ram and rem, with the former showing no visible reaction, beyond a raised eyebrow.

"you know what that man did when I punched him, so hard it broke my whole arm."

"what, rem cant keep up with the anticipation."

"he said I was fun and wanted to fight me even more. So he then got even stronger, and started to crush me."

izuku looked down his hair hid his eyes.

"he almost got me too. In fact, that would have been the end of my story."

"Then what saved you."

ram looked concerned, which was a first from the usually stoic oni.

"the kid I was trying to protect had splashed him with water. and seeing this kid, who didn't even have a chance stand up to a threat, that even I couldn't fight really pushed me, so I used one million percent of my power, and launched him into the side of the cliff we were standing on. however, using that much power destroyed my arm to the point, where not even the best doctors could fix it completely."

the girls were moved by the story as the emotion in his expression and voice just moved them while rem and ram were frowning.

"does it hurt?"

"oh, only sometimes, and when it's cold or a storm is coming."

yawning izuku excused himself, and went to bed.

"good night you two, see ya in the morning."

"night"

rem and ram both responded.

after staying in his room for an hour, just to make sure everybody was asleep, he snuck out. once in the open field he comes to call his training camp. he did his usual routine working on black whip, and float. once izuku was done, he decided to have a little fun.

ram was confused instead of heading back by now, he crouched down. suddenly his green spark turned into a roaring green blueish wave. is he getting stronger, ram thought. after a minute of him being frozen, he teleported no it wasn't teleportation, he was just moving so fast not even she could keep up? then a green blur ran past her, she fell. when ram got back up, she saw how izuku was destroying the tree trunks. it was beautiful, the tree trunks weren't going out in splinters, they seem to just disintegrate. after a few minutes of this, izuku seemed to trip on a tree root, but it was no problem as he just flew around, then she had to run to keep up, and follow him after a while, he seems to land at some sort of field that was littered with boulders.

she watched them get decimated one by one. They were no match for him. After he cleared the whole field, he seemed to stop. his figure hunched over and his breath labored. he then faced the sky and laughed, and it was the most carefree laugh she had heard. it was as if, he didn't have a care in the world. Like if his scars and battles, didn't weigh on his mind.

"god it feels so good to just let loose"

at that moment ram understood. Izuku was just a man who felt as if he had the world, had been placed on his shoulders. smiling she turned and began walking back towards the mansion. Only for her foot to snap a twig.

when ram turned back, he noticed this and his carefree change was gone, now replaced with something that scared her. his body was hunched and his left eye was staring at her. His power made them look as if they were green emeralds blazing with the same kind of stoicism, that hardened soldiers had when on the field. then he vanished only to reappear in her face. fist cocked back, he was about to finish her, until he saw who had managed to get past, his danger sense.

"oh, it's your ram, what are you doing out here."

"umm"

"h-how long have you been watching."

"since the first night."

"oh"

izuku was embarrassed, and relieved, he was on alert when he heard the snap, very few things could get past his anger sense, none of them friendly. so forgive him if, his first response was to kill the intruder.

"is that how strong you truly are."

"yes and no."

"what do you mean."

"well I can go stronger but my body can't handle it, and I end up breaking bones."

ram stayed quiet, when a wind blew past ram shivered.

"hey, we should go inside and head to bed."

as they began to walking izuku had a great idea.

"izuku what are you dooooiiinnngg"

she hadn't had the time to continue, as izuku had picked her up, and ran as fast as he could to show her the rush and exhilaration, he felt every time e used his full speed. when they got to the mansion ram was frazzled, while izuku was laughing at her hair.

"Not a word!"

"ok, I just thought it would be faster than walking."

she walked away without saying a word.

"goodnight ram"

"no goodnight"

izuku laughed harder, and as he laughed he missed the small smile ram had. they both went to bed content with how the night played out. man, I wonder what's next. a trip to the capital. as izuku wondered, nobody realized just how right he was.


end


wow that's a wrap people sorry this took so long as I had left for vacation that lasted a week then when I came back I got the second covid shot and felt really sore for the next two days and then I had planned for this chapter to be longer as it would go all the way to the royal selection but then I lost all of my work and decided to just go for a shorter filler chapter hope you enjoyed this chapter. please leave a review.

also, I think this just might be a ram x izuku fic I don't even know how that happened though I do want to build his relationship with the other girls especially crush and mei so that we could get a love triangle with izuku in the middle. o and for how izuku looked when he looked back at rem just picture the moment in the sports festival where izuku looks back and only one eye is showing. so let me know if you guys want rem in on the love action as in the next chapter I can either confirm rem or leave her out of it.

Also I hope I got rems speech right let me know how I did.
