-earlynickname- glad you liked last chapter and thanks for the encouragement as I was unsure if the last chapter would do good.
-forsaken dragon of the void- honestly I sometimes mix up witch is Which. So sorry and I will be going back to change it.
-exoticidiot- ok so this will be in two chapters because again two commits.
Ok so when I wrote the first chapter I didn't plan on having romance be a thing then someone asked for a harem and I was like sure why not. And when I wrote chapters 2-3 I actually planned on rem being closer to izuku but as we know ram ended up being closer and I was like "you know what this is infinitely better than what I had planned." and by chapter 4 I said fuck cannon so I threw out all my plans for sanctuary and the meeting with sloth. But the problem with ram being the main romance is I can't use how she treats Subaru as a baseline. Like most of the cast was easy to write how they would interact with izuku. but the only reason ram insulted Subaru the way she did was because of his thoughts towards both herself and rem. hell, she even insulted him because of how lazy he was. But the only trait both Subaru and izuku share is their hero complex, only it's acceptable for izuku and not Subaru. So yeah I have to think hard about keeping ram somewhat in character. But hey it's ok because I also want ram to be the main girl.
And as for the royal selection how did you know like that was something I had wanted to write from the beginning. But keep in mind that izuku is 18 but looks like he's still 16 so it would be easy for him to play submissive. But yeah in this chapter I can personally guaranty thati that wish will come true also Roswaal will finally get to see the true monster that is manga Deku.
-I love Priscilla- so you get two chapters just because.
Oi in my defense I wrote that chapter and posed it at like 1 in the morning. Not to mention my dyslexic ass still can't figure out which there goes where like if not for Grammarly 99.9999999% of this story would be unreadable.
Hey, boss what's your thoughts on the lust if I'm curious.
So again please leave a review he'll they could even be about anything. Like what you ate for breakfast or your favorite snack. you could even ask me questions just let me know if you want me to reply privately.
/update fix some minor mistakes rewrote crusch's falts and hopefully fix the punctuation.\\
Day 9
The room was tense, izuku sat next to Emilia who had just proposed an alliance. They sat with bated breath, as crusch began to think it over.
"Ok, I'll accept on one condition."
"And that would be."
"I want him."
At izuku's blush, crusch realized how she sounded.
"W-wait not like that I mean I want to share izuku."
Now Emilia was also blushing. For as innocent as Emilia was even she had caught on, but thought nothing of it at first. Now with crusch insinuating that kind of relationship, and with izuku, no less just made her blush.
"C-crap, I mean, I want him to, also work for me."
Crusch was royally embarrassed, as a simple request, had turned into a very awkward situation.
Then Emilia found her voice.
"I can agree to that."
"Gee I feel like cattle now."
with that, the alliance had been formed, And Nobody caught what izuku said.
"Well, I'm heading into town."
This time izuku had made sure the girls heard him. Rem had walked in at that moment.
"Please take rem with you."
"Sure why not."
With that rem and izuku had headed into town.
Day 9
As izuku walked through the capital, he felt an overwhelming sense of amazement. He hadn't been able to enjoy being here, since he was new, and had offered to help Emilia.
Walking past an alleyway, izuku saw old man rom.
"Hey what's up."
"Oh, it's you. How you been."
"Good um, what you looking for."
"Felt, that Reinhart fellow took her and I can't find her."
"Oh... well, I'll ask him the next time I see him."
Then izuku left rom. while pondering, He saw rem waiting patiently by the entrance to the ally way.
"Who was that."
"Oh him, yea he's old man rom, someone I met when Emilia and I, went to get her insignia back."
Rem nodded, And as izuku walked through the streets, he debated on asking rem a vary personal question. He decided to just go for it.
"Hey, rem I've been meaning, to ask you something."
"Yeah sure."
"What does it mean to be hornless."
Rem stopped walking.
"Sorry if that was too personal, it's just I overheard, and I was curious, and oh I think I'll stop talking now."
Rem began to giggle at izuku. She couldn't help it. the way he seemed to just break down, at the thought of offending her.
"Haha no it's ok, it's just I hadn't expected such a question."
Then rem stopped laughing, adopting a more somber mood, she began to explain how ram came to be hornless.
As izuku took it all in he could tell she blamed herself. Not to mention how she saw herself, as a replacement to ram. It kinda reminds him of both himself and todoroki.
They continued to walk in silence until they passed the knight academy.
"Step right up. if you can beat this obstacle course in under 30 seconds, you'll get to design, and keep your very own set of armor."
There was a man out front, he looked like some sort of captain, with how his uniform looked, but then again izuku could just be wrong.
Stepping up izuku asked some questions.
"What are the rules."
"It's simple no magic, no sacred blessing, and no cheating."
"Alright how much for one go."
"It's 10 coppers."
Izuku had a brilliant idea, he would use this obstacle course, to prove rem wasn't rams replacement.
"Hey, rem I get what you're going through."
"You do?"
"Yes, I was so concerned about replacing my master, that I couldn't see myself anymore."
"Then what happened."
"Well, I took a step back, and stopped trying to replace my master. Then I took a good long look at what izuku can do."
Rem tilted her head, she didn't understand where this was going.
"Because I'm gonna ask you a question."
"Um ok."
"Who am I talking to."
"What?"
Izuku didn't reply, as he had placed the 10 copper in the man's hand, and ran through the obstacle course.
The obstacle course was a fairly small one, but it tested your maneuverability. As it was just a circle with some walls, and hurdles, along with pits nothing moved, but it would test how good your movement was.
the walls were set up in a way, that you could just jump between them if one knew how to wall bounce.
Out of the many movement-based people in his class, only he and Mineta were the only ones who could do it successfully. Which was weird, considering Lida could wall run, and sero could tape to walls. like was he the only one who noticed, the missed opportunity. But by the time he noticed, it was too late as they were already grounded in their ways, and it would make Lida have to relearn how to go up a wall.
Also, sero seemed fine with just swinging.
The pits just stopped one from running at full speed. but Aizawa made sure to teach them how to run full speed, even when there were holes in the ground.
So izuku pushed past the first two obstacles, and now came the hurdles, however, these hurdles aren't just on the ground, they were on the walls and ceiling, making it really hard to just jump on over to the ground one's, and be done. Because if he jumped too high, he would smack the top one, and if he wasn't directly in the middle he would hit the side ones.
Thankfully Aizawa had taught them how to twist, and spin mid-air. It was kinda creepy how much Aizawa's training helped him. Really made one winder if that man could see the future.
Then as he was running to the final hurdle, he jumped then, he saw it right there in the center was a massive beam, and as the speed, he was going, it was sure to knock him out. So he twisted his whole body to the left. The twist was enough to move him out the way of the beam, allowing him to run to the finish line.
"Oh my. We have a new record holder, and at 10 seconds, I don't think anybody could beat that, not even our best knights could get past 15 seconds."
Turning to rem izuku spread his arms out wide.
"You see when I took a step back and used what only izuku could use, I realized that I'm not a replacement but something better."
Rem had sparkles in her eyes.
"What is the something better."
"I'm just izuku, and that is way better than just being someone's replacement. So I ask again who am I speaking to."
"Rem!"
"And who is rem."
Motivated by izuku's speech she shouted.
"REM IS REM!"
"There we go. So now every time you feel like rams replacement just remembers those words."
And with that their day concluded.
END
SIKE
Later that day, when everyone was in their rooms, izuku had just laid on his bed thinking. He had been under so much stress lately. And with how Emilia looked, and with how this country treated white-haired half-elves. He wasn't naive enough to think her being summoned to the capital would be a pleasant trip.
Then while designing his armor he got homesick. Oh, how he missed designing new stuff with Mei or, testing it out with Lida or ochako, whichever one they managed to rope in their tests.
Then there was the time he spent with his mentor. Even the time when it would just be him and Aizawa. The man always asked to see who he was working on, a few times he even helped out with izuku's notebook."
Izuku felt his eyes water, but before any tears could come out, he heard a knock.
Izuku made sure to slip the persona he had built back on. This was the carefree izuku midoriya the one who always smiled, and told stories of his heroic feats.
"Come in."
The door opened revealing ram.
"Oh hey ram what's up."
Ram narrowed her eyes at him before she continued.
"Well as you may know I'm hornless."
"Um-hum."
"That means I cannot gather mana, like you or rem dose."
Izuku nodded, now he was rather curious, as to where this was going.
"And because Roswaal isn't here, and you're the current head of us maids, Albeit temporary I still require you to give me mana."
Seeing nothing wrong izuku agreed.
"Um so how do I do this anyway."
"Oh, you put your middle, and ring finger on my scar, and poor mana into me."
As izuku did as ram instructed, ram studied him carefully. Using her clairvoyance she has been able to tell if he was busy or not. Though finding him just lying on his bed, with a weird look on his face, made her concerned.
"Hey, izuku are you... Oh"
Right as she was about to ask the question, she felt a massive mana surge. With Roswell, it felt like a gentle stream. However, izuku was like a massive rush. The differences in power was noticeable, as for as good of a magician Roswaal was, he was just a normal man so he didn't poses such a large amount of mana.
While Izuku had enough to give to an entire town before, it would affect one for all. it would also take less than an hour to replenish said used energy.
"You know ram, your sister kinda reminds me of myself when I was just starting out."
"Oh, how so."
Ram was getting woozy. The amount of mana flowing into her was overwhelming. After a couple of minutes, izuku stopped pouring mana into her.
Ram got up and stumbled, before falling on izuku's bed.
"Um, ram hey you ok."
Ram was unresponsive.
"Well, the way she sees herself as your replacement, was exactly how I saw myself."
"I saw the huge shoes I had to fill. And fell short."
With ram still being unresponsive, izuku continued his rant.
"And when my mentor's old partner told me I was the wrong choice, it royally pissed me off. And I'm not ashamed to admit I took his stuff when he died."
"But deep down I felt he was right. I couldn't brute force my problems away and every time I used my full power, my body broke."
Taking a deep breath izuku steadied his voice.
"But I had a goal, and I swore to myself that I would reach it."
Looking down at his hands izuku felt a wave of nostalgia, and sadness hit him.
"And now I'm all alone again. If you guys decide I'm no longer needed, where does that leave me?"
Izuku was lost in the moment.
"I was supposed to be the number one hero, and now I'm just gonna be some extra, a stepping stone on someone's path to greatness."
As izuku repeated kastuki's words, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. He knew kastuki only said that to make izuku quit. It was his way of keeping the quirkless izuku safe.
Sighing izuku turned to the bed.
"Well guess I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."
Izuku left the room, but not before he tucked ram in, and whispered good night.
After he closed the door ram opened her watery eyes.
Day 10
izuku was not having a good day. He woke up that morning with his neck, back, and shoulder hurting because of the couch.
Then he fell up tie stairs and slammed, his head into the bathroom door.
And while doing his morning routine, he cramped up and was forced to stop.
At breakfast, Emilia and Roswaal had made him stay at the mansion, instead of going with them.
So now he was sitting in his room, studying up the history of this kingdom. currently, he was on the naming of this country.
"Ugh, this is stupid."
Knock knock
"Um, it's open."
In came crusch, she was wearing a suit that seemed to appeal to her more boyish charms than, her feminine side.
"Hey crusch what's up."
"Well as you know, we've been summoned to the capital."
Izuku hummed in confirmation.
"But well you see, Felix had to attend an important family matter."
Izuku got the idea.
"So you want me to go with you."
"Only till we get there, as Felix should already be inside."
Shrugging izuku agreed, as Emilia hadn't forbade him from going, just told him to stay.
"es scheint, dass der Hund immer in der Nähe des Herrn landet"
"What did you say."
Izuku had assured her it was just nonsense. Which was true, As before he learned of its meaning, izuku had thought, it was just more of tokoyami's edgy edge lord nonsense.
"Alright then let's go if your ready."
Izuku got up and walked with crusch to the meeting.
While on the streets, crusch got curious about her bodyguard.
"Hey izuku what's your favorite dish."
"Oh, that's easy its katsudon."
"Ka-tsu-don?"
"It's a popular dish where I'm from."
Then they heard a crash. Looking up and to her right, time seemed to slow down, as crusch saw a cart slam into the ground, with the pieces of debris flying right towards her.
She felt too slow to draw her sword, and slash them away. Then she saw izuku punch away the debris while catching the rest of the cart that flew towards her. The way his muscles bulged, and how the green electricity arcked off of him. To crusch, he looked like a true hero.
When izuku turned around and smiled at her, she felt as if nothing could go wrong. Then she looked down and saw a wooden stake Piercing his arm.
"Oh, izuku are you alright."
Izuku put a hand on her shoulder and gave her his best, everything's gonna be alright smile.
"Don't worry about it, it's not that deep."
Not noticing the way crusch looked away with a blush. He patted her on the head.
"Well, we best be off."
And crush too embarrassed to remember izuku's injury, nodded and followed along.
By the time they got to the palace, izuku had already wrapped up his wound.
When they walked into the throne room, Emilia gasped at izuku's appearance.
Crusch had been too embarrassed, to notice izuku's whole left arm, was bloodied. And while he had wrapped it, izuku didn't have the time to change or clean his sleeve.
"Izuku what happened."
"Oh an accident happened while walking through the market."
"But why are you here I thought I told you to stay at the mansion."
Crusch had finally gotten over her embarrassment.
"I had asked him to escort me here. Sorry if that went against your wishes."
"It's not that I didn't want him here, it's just."
Emilia trailed off as she sent a look towards crusch, one she understood. Every resident of the mansion had picked up on izuku's mood. It was like an aura. one the maids made sure to steer clear of.
No one wanted to admit that, an angry izuku was scary.
"Well, you're here now so why don't you wait with the others."
"Ok Roswaal."
Izuku walked off towards the other side of the room.
Roswaal wasn't the only one who noticed the eyes starting at izuku.
"Oh my it's seams are dear izuku has garnered quite the attention."
Izuku had spotted Reinhart.
"Hey, Reinhart what happened to felt."
Izuku asked as he walked up to the redhead.
"Oh don't worry she is safe and well taken care of."
Izuku looked disgusted, while he didn't think Reinhart had that in him he wasn't gonna say anything, mainly because that could be legal here.
It got quiet as soon as they began announcing the candidates. With every call, each candidate was expected to give a short speech. When felt showed, izuku was relived, Because that's what he meant.
When it was Emilia's turn, she was met with disgust and outrage.
"What really, but she's a half-elf."
"Devil."
"Satella."
All the insults seemed to put the boy in an even worse mood.
"She isn't fit to be king. Along with that gutter rat."
The whole room when silent, as an aura of great anger and frustration, enveloped the whole room.
CLAP... CLAP... CLAP
The slow clapping seemed to throw everyone off. They all looked towards the origin of the noise. When everyone laid eyes on the green-haired boy, they couldn't help but feel how the aura intensified.
"I've heard a lot of idiotic things in my life but, that, that just takes the cake."
The crowd except for a few blinked in surprise.
"Hey Emilia mind if I browed this... Thanks."
Izuku had walked up to Emilia, and borrowed her insignia. He then grabbed her hand and had her touch the insignia.
"As you can see, it's glowing right."
He then went to every candidate and asked if, they could touch the insignia. When they glowed, he asked if they could see it too.
"Now as you all saw, it glowed the same for everyone. Now, do you hold that little faith in the dragon stone, or whatever you call it, that you would question its choice?"
Everyone looked down at this
"I mean correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the dragon help seal the jealous which. So tell me why the stone pick the witch of envy. It doesn't make any sense."
Everyone felt shame as not only were their faith questioned but, so was their intelligence."
Izuku looked around, he was about to say something that would offend a lot of people.
"I mean it's no wonder this country is falling apart. I am amazed, this kingdom managed to survive for as long as it did."
Izuku began to list off the problems with this country.
"First of all you have no king, your financial state is are worrying, you are at war with another country, the amount of poverty-stricken people is higher than most third world countries, and this country is just doomed to fall either way."
Leaning back izuku spoke his final peace.
"Either way it doesn't matter what candidate you chose, this country will never recover."
Pointing at Anastasia he listed her faults.
"She could fix this country's financial problem but what about the others. And even then that's a big if."
Turning to Priscilla izuku continued.
"I'm mean she's just relying on that insane luck, but even then that will only get you so far. as if you have a 0% chance no amount of it luck will change that."
Priscilla bristled at that but never the less she stayed quiet.
Looking at felt izuku let out a sigh.
"I mean that one doesn't even want to participate."
Turning to crusch he continued while it would hurt the girl's feelings. It was something that needed to be said.
"This one wants to end, the covenant with the dragon, mind you the same dragon, that is the only reason this country is still standing.
Looking at Emilia izuku brought up his final point.
"You guys don't seem to like her, and even then get the goal of building a place where everyone is equal is both a fantasy and unattainable, as my country had that problem for year's and we still haven't been able to fix the problem, even when there only humans in that country."
There were gasps of shock. Then a purple-haired boy walked over to izuku and slapped him with a white glove."
"You have insulted my lady I cannot let that go unpunished."
Izuku just stared at him.
"But isn't that what she plans to do. She even said it herself so how am I insulting her. All I'm saying is this country is doomed either way."
Julius continues to glare.
Izuku already in a bad mood, and quite fed up with everyone's stupidity, decided to accept the challenge.
Will izuku beat Julius or will he lose find out next time on dragon ball.
Sike again
Arena
Izuku and Julius stood 10 feet apart from each other.
Julius readied his sword, then someone yelled, "begin".
It was a slaughter. Izuku had used only 25% yet that was enough to both, outpace and outmatch the poor spirits art user.
Izuku had kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fly backward. Then when Julius tried to hit izuku, the attack was blocked. Then izuku smacked him on the side of his head.
This went on for about 3 minutes until it started to rain and thunder.
And Julius could swear every time lightning struck, izuku looked far scarier than a boy in a butler uniform.
Then as izuku gave a hard kick to Julius's back, lightning struck. Everyone looked at izuku in shock. he had been struck by lightning.
"Gerrrrr aahhhh ftstrgv."
As izuku endured the pain and discomfort, of being electrocuted, he slowly walked up to Julius. And in a stunt that would name him, the little green devil, he punched Julius so hard it knocked him out.
"Oh my God is that man alright."
"Did the man pass out standing up?"
It was true. izuku used every last bit of strength to win before, he passed out.
Crusch shouted.
"Quickly get Felix, and bring him to my estate at once."
As they rushed to give the boy aid, one woman with a Fan covering her face spoke.
"He is amusing."
And bam that's the end for real this time. Well tell me what you think and I'm gonna add one more girl to the harm it's gonna be Priscilla.
And you might be asking why and well the simple answer is I read the lust if and clingy Priscilla got me.
So yeah she's in and because I'm going away from cannon I think I can make this work.
So not gonna lie this chapter didn't go how I wanted it to and I ended up having to cut a lot just because it didn't really fit and again another chapter with 4k words.
God damm I'm so tired I stayed up till 4 in the morning last night trying to finish this chapter and then I'm pretty sure I missed stuff so let me know if I messed anything up.
Well, take care everybody and tell me if you liked this chapter or if you didn't like it tell me how can I improve. Now if you excuse me I have to go back and fix the one for all all for one mix-up. Don't worry I will fix it and upload it with this chapter too.
