What if Deku...
Chapter five: Reaching Rivals
The audience summoned by the Realmcrafter Talespinner69 had just finished watching the latest realm in the show where each realm shows an alternate version of Izuku. The differing takes on the green-haired boy have taken many in the audience by surprise, Izuku especially so. As a matter of fact the last realm was one of the most popular yet among male UA students, due to its specific kind of content.
"I...I never thought that I'd see myself like that," Izuku admitted, looking a bit rattled to have seen himself in any sort of hostile manner.
"Well that last one, as well as all other ones, aren't the real you," Uraraka said, "You're the real you. And that's why a lot of us like you."
Scoffing, Bakugo said, "I still like the badass version of Deku that we saw in the last realm."
Sero turned to look at Bakugo, shooting him a dry look. "...Even though you were scared of him to the point you deferred to him?"
"Zip it," Bakugo retorted.
Clapping her hands together, Mina said, "I still wanna see a realm where Izuku and Uraraka are sweet on one another. They'd be so cute together!"
"I agree," Hagakure said with a nod, which could be seen since she worked a hairband.
As Izuku and Uraraka both shrank into their respective theater seats, with Uraraka letting out some embarrassed cries, Kyoka said, "Come on, you two. Cut Izuku and Uraraka some slack already. Yes, I agree it'd be downright adorable to see the two of them together, but you're kind of rather embarrassing them."
As the UA students in the audience continued to talk about stuff, they were cut off when Kotaro called out from where he and Tale stood in front of the big theater screen, "Oi, we got the next realm ready to play!"
At that mention, everyone in the audience turned front and center to look at the big theater screen. "I wonder what version of the Green Bean we'll be seeing next," Hizashi said, "Personally, I'd be down to see one who's into the DJ business like I am."
"We already have one of you running around the place, Hizashi," Aizawa said dryly as the next realm started to play, "We honestly could go without another one."
...
Aizawa and Sekijiro ran into each other on the way to teach their respective homeroom classes. "Sorry again about how some of my boys have been causing trouble for the students in your class," Aizawa apologized to his co-worker.
"Well so long as you get them to straighten up and fly right," Sekijiro replied as the two of them broke away from one another to go into their respective homerooms.
"So Sekijiro and I are teaching another day, and I apologize for the way some of the boys in my class have been acting towards his students," Aizawa in the audience remarked.
Sighing, Sekijiro said, "I hope the Midoriya boy isn't a delinquent here."
Inside of the class 1-B homeroom, Sekijiro said, "Alright children, let's take our seats. Now we'll begin with roll call." Picking up a clipboard that had a printed sheet on it, the blood hero called out, "Awase!"
"Here!"
"Honenuki!"
"Here!"
"Midoriya!"
"Here!" From Sekijiro's point of view, he could see his student Izuku Midoriya sitting in class, in the same general area as Yosetsu and Juzo, who also had been called in the roll call thus far.
(What if Deku was in class 1-B)
"I'm in class 1-B in this realm?" Izuku in the audience said in a curious, confused tone.
Looking up at the theater screen, Tale said, "Oh, this is a kind of realm I've seen once or twice. My kind occasionally likes to imagine what it would be like if you were placed into class 1-B rather than in class 1-A."
"Huh, you know Midoriya is actually a pretty chill guy," Juzo said, "I wouldn't have minded it if he were in our class."
"Yeah, I'd have added him to my friends list by now if it wasn't for Monoma trying to dictate everything in class with his massive raging hate-boner for class 1-A," Yosetsu remarked, getting some chuckles out of Juzo.
...
Later during lunch, Izuku was eating with his classmates in class 1-B. "Wow, thanks again for helping us to win that last round in the joint training exercise, Izuku," Yosetsu said, "We were able to end the whole exercise in a tie since we got two wins, two losses and a draw."
"It made that asshole in class 1-A shut the hell up," Juzo remarked as he nodded in agreement with Yosetsu. A few of the others in 1-B also thanked Izuku for his contributions.
"So this is another realm where the joint training event ended in a tie overall," Aizawa in the audience remarked dryly, "I'm beginning to see a pattern here."
"That having Deku in our class is essential for us to win the joint training event instead of letting things end in a tie?" Bakugo asked.
Izuku nodded in thanks, appreciative of how his classmates were so supportive of him. "Yeah, I can't really say a lot of nice things about that Monoma fellow in class 1-A."
"I'm in class 1-A in this realm?!" Monoma in the audience exclaimed.
Shrugging, Mina said, "You must have switched spots with Izuku, is what I guess."
Sighing in a mildly irritated tone, Juzo said, "Yeah, Monoma is a right proper piece of work, going on about how his class is better than ours and that we ought to just stand to the side and let him and his classmates get what he says they were born with the right to get."
"He even takes issue with some of us having romantic interest in some of his classmates over in 1-A," Reiko pointed out, sounding mildly irritated, "Like how he keeps telling Kinoko to back away from Kirishima, or how he tries keeping Todoroki from flirting with me even though it's no issue to me." There was a bit of blushing on Reiko's face. "I...I'm actually rather flattered that Todoroki would be interested in me."
Letting out an annoyed huff, Yosetsu said, "Yeah, and I have no doubt Monoma would blow a lid if he found out that I have feelings for Yaoyorozu, simply because she's in his class and I'm here in 1-B."
"Yeah, I can see Monoma trying to keep us from having romantic relationships with the students in class 1-A due to his hate-boner for them," Juzo in the audience remarked dryly.
"I do NOT have a hate-boner for class 1-A!" Monoma declared.
With a knowing chuckle, Yosetsu said, "Dude, with all due respect, it's a pretty hateful boner."
Counting off of her fingers, Mina said, "So we got Kinoko liking Kirishima and Yosetsu liking Yaoyorozu in cases of 1-B to 1-A, and Todoroki liking Reiko in a case of 1-A to 1-B. This is a nice start, I have to admit." As for those mentioned, they began blushing out of embarrassment to varying degrees.
Meanwhile over where the class 1-A boys were sitting, Monoma was going off on a tangent as the girls came over, having just gotten their lunches. "The hell is he on about now?" Kyoka asked some of the boys dryly as she and the girls sat down with the boys in their class.
Scoffing in an annoyed tone, Bakugo said, "Squirrelly Boy here is going off on Kirishima and IcyHot due to how they could potentially go out with girls from 1-B."
"Everyone in 1-B is total trash!" Monoma declared defiantly.
In the audience, everyone else in class 1-B turned to look at Monoma with disdainful looks. "Well given the environment of this realm," Kotaro called out, "You can't quite blame that version of Monoma for developing differently."
"It's still pretty jarring to see such a contrast in Monoma," Juzo remarked dryly.
"How do you all think I feel?!" Monoma exclaimed.
"You...you say that everyone in 1-B is total trash," Yaoyorozu began, her tone eerily calm but clearly masking a brewing storm.
"And I will see all of them led to ruin!" Monoma went on, "And not just the girls who the boys in our class can do way better than! The boys in 1-B also deserve to be kicked to the curb!"
"All..." Yaoyorozu continued as she got up to walk over to Monoma, standing behind him, "...Of the boys as well, you say." Yaoyorozu then threw her right arm around Monoma's neck while pulling his left arm out with her free hand, jerking his arm over her left knee so that she could dislocate the arm, thus making Monoma cry out in pain. But Yaoyorozu covered Monoma's mouth with her right hand.
When Monoma turned his eyes to look at her with fear and panic, Yaoyorozu said, "Yeah, you saying that you'd see all the boys in 1-B led to ruin doesn't sit well with me," the wealthy girl said to Monoma coolly and without care that she dislocated his arm, "Since Awase-kun is one of the boys in 1-B, and your little threat just now would apply to him. I can't be having threats made against Awase-kun."
"Yaomomo is yandere for Yosetsu in this realm!" Mina in the audience exclaimed as she pointed at the big theater screen.
Turning to face Yosetsu, Juzo asked, "Yo dude, how would you feel if you found out that the Yaoyorozu girl you got a crush on has a crush on you in return but she's yandere-level obsessed with you?"
"I'd...be flattered if Yaoyorozu liked me back, but she doesn't need to go that far," Yosetsu replied. As for Yaoyorozu herself, she was a bit embarrassed to be seen going crazy for a boy, although the boy himself for real said that he'd be flattered for real if she liked him and there was no need to be crazy for him.
As Monoma was writhing in pain after Yaoyorozu let him pass out on the cafeteria floor, she turned to look at her classmates. "Sorry, but I had to get my point across to Monoma."
Nodding in understanding, Uraraka said, "I understand how you feel. I mean, I'm also in love with one of the boys in 1-B so-"
"It's not Awase-kun, is it?" Yaoyorozu immediately asked, "Because bitch I will ruin you if you try to get between me and-"
"It's Izuku who I'm in love with, Yaoyorozu," Uraraka said quickly.
Immediately, the wealthy girl settled down. "...Oh, so you like Midoriya," Yaoyorozu said, sounding like she was immediately trying to get over some mild embarrassment, "Very well, then. You want me and the girls to help you get with him?"
"Yes!" Hagakure in the audience cheered, "Uraraka has the hots for Izuku! Yes!"
"Did I just threaten and insult Uraraka?" Yaoyorozu asked, looking mildly offended and rather sorry over what her alternative self had just said.
Snickering a bit in clear amusement, Mina remarked, "I like this version of Yaomomo."
...
Later, as Izuku was talking to Juzo, Yosetsu, Nirengeki and Jurota in the school library, they were approached by Bakugo and his group of friends in 1-A, although Mina was leading the boys over in this case. "Excuse me, boys," Mina began, "But we need to borrow Izuku from you for a moment."
Izuku looked surprised that students in class 1-A would want to borrow him. "Why do you guys need me?" Izuku asked.
Scoffing indifferently, Bakugo explained, "Believe it or not, Deku, our classmate Round Face has the hots for you. Pinky here just wants to try and help Round Face hook up with you."
"He means Uraraka," Mina translated, "But Bakugo is right. Uraraka really is in love with you, Izuku, and the two of you would be so cute together!"
"Called it!" Mina in the audience cheered in clear amusement, much to the embarrassment of both Izuku and Uraraka.
Izuku looked a bit surprised to hear that a girl would be in love with him. "R-Really?" Izuku said, "Uraraka is in love with me?"
"Yeah, and the girls and I are working on getting Monoma to chill himself so that people in our class can get away with being romantically involved with people in your class," Mina began to explain, "Like how Uraraka likes you, how Todoroki like Reiko, and how your classmate Kinoko likes Kirishima."
"I'm just as surprised that a girl would be interested in me," Kirishima admitted, "But it's actually a rather nice thought. If only Monoma wouldn't be an-"
Kirishima was cut off when he and the other first year hero course students were approached by a mildly rattled looking Tokoyami, who had Dark Shadow out. "Monoma has just been arrested by the police!"
"I was arrested?!" Monoma in the audience exclaimed indignantly.
As most of the rest of the audience laughed at Monoma's expense, Sekijiro said, "Wait, why was Monoma arrested in this realm?"
Shrugging, Hizashi said questioningly more that stating, "Maybe because he didn't pass the vibe check or something?"
"Yeah, apparently he's been expelled as well as arrested over having been found in possession of a lot of stuff that's been stolen," Dark Shadow explained, "Because of the vacancy that's been made in 1-A due to Monoma's expulsion and arrest, that Shinso guy who tested into the hero course will be transferred in ahead of time."
Some of the present first year hero course students cheered at the news. "Awesome! Now Monoma can't get in the way of cross-class love!" Mina cheered, pumping a fist into the air." The 1-A students then proceeded to go about helping Izuku get ready to ask Uraraka out on a date with gusto, now that the main obstacle to the two of them had been removed.
"So their first reaction to me being expelled and arrested is to celebrate and help Midoriya and Uraraka get together," Monoma in the audience said, looking on in disbelief.
"Well to be fair, you are kind of a tool," Yosetsu remarked, "And not just in this realm. In a lot of other realms and for real as well."
"I'm just glad we'll get to see Izuku and Uraraka together," Mina said, making Izuku and Uraraka even more embarrassed.
...
The following afternoon, Izuku and Uraraka were together, walking back to UA after having been out on a date. "I...I still can't believe that you'd actually be willing to date me, Izuku," Uraraka said as she blushed bashfully, "I mean, you're...well, you. You're Izuku."
"Yeah, I'm surprised a girl would like me enough to want to date me," Izuku said as he and Uraraka turned the corner to come to the front of the gate surrounding UA, "But it does make me feel better about myself to know that a girl sincerely Hey why are there police cars in front of the school?"
Izuku deviated mid sentence when he and Uraraka spotted two police cars in front of UA, with two officers loading Mineta into the back of one of the cars while Detective Naomasa talked to Aizawa and Sekijiro, who stood in front of the rest of the first year hero course. Aizawa looked fit to rip at least one person's head off.
"Now I'm being arrested?!" Mineta in the audience exclaimed, amidst the laughter of pretty much everyone else in the audience.
Gesturing to the big theater screen, Aizawa said, "The hell is going on here?"
Izuku and Uraraka came jogging up to join the rest of the people outside, getting Aizawa and Sekijiro to turn to see them, as well as the other first year hero course students. "Midoriya, Uraraka, go join the others," Aizawa began to explain, "Sekijiro and I still have to deal with the little fucker that I had to not only expel but call the police on as well."
"What happened, senseis?" Izuku asked.
Sighing in a troubled tone, Sekijiro explained, "Long story short, Mineta's been expelled because he was found in possession of girls' underwear, having at least one pair from each of the girls in your year of the hero course."
"He stole our underwear?!" Uraraka exclaimed indignantly.
"That perverted little fucker!" Mina in the audience exclaimed.
Scoffing, Kyoka said, "It's something I can see him for real doing."
A number of the girls in the audience proceeded to throw stuff at Mineta, pelting him and also hurting him a bit. "Ow, ow! Stop it!" Mineta cried out.
After the police left, Aizawa and Sekijiro turned to face their students. "Yeah, Mineta's expulsion was rather hard," Aizawa said, "Especially considering how I had to expel Monoma and have him arrested yesterday."
"Luckily, we already have someone lined up to take Mineta's place in the hero course," Sekijiro said, "I actually have a nephew your guys' age, and he's got a good quirk, so he'll be added to class 1-B starting tomorrow."
"Wait, the vacancy is in 1-A," Bakugo pointed out.
Jerking a thumb at Sekijiro, Aizawa explained, "Yeah, Sekijiro wants his nephew in his class, so one of the students in 1-B will be transferred to 1-A to compensate."
"So I have a nephew in this realm," Sekijiro in the audience began in a curious tone, "And he's going to be added to my class while one of the students I already have is going to me moved to Aizawa's class."
"Gee," Bakugo said dryly, a strong hint of knowing in his tone, "I wonder who will be added from 1-B to 1-A."
"If I may be so bold," Yaoyorozu began as she raised a hand, "I think that-"
"Thus Midoriya will be transferred to class 1-A," Sekijiro said, with neither him nor Aizawa having even heard the wealthy girl speak up, "Midoriya would have originally been put into class 1-A at the beginning of the year, but Aizawa was unsure about him due to seeing Midoriya hurt himself in the entrance exams, so we agreed that I'd take Midoriya while Aizawa ended up with Monoma instead."
"It was a deal that I immediately regretted once Monoma started acting like a hysteric holler monkey hopped up on at least one gallon of pure espresso," Aizawa stated, then added when he turned to look at Izuku, "I'm sorry for not giving you a chance at first, Midoriya."
"I-It's quite alright, Aizawa-sensei," Izuku replied, a bit surprised that he was going to be moved to class 1-A.
"So Deku is moved into our class near the end," Bakugo in the audience remarked.
Turning to look at Aizawa, Monoma said in a dry tone, "Really."
Shrugging, the underground hero replied, "Well can you honestly blame me?"
Soon enough, everyone broke apart and went their own ways, with Sekijiro having Izuku go to the 1-B dorm building to begin packing to move into the 1-A dorm building. Some of the 1-A students waved goodbye to Izuku, with Uraraka saying that she was looking forward to seeing him in the same class as her.
As everyone wandered off on their own, Yaoyorozu found a secret, secluded spot where she pulled out a small notepad and a pencil. The notepad had some writing on it that labeled the top of the page as 'plan to get Awase-kun into 1-A'; that page also included a plan that said 'frame Monoma as a thief and get him expelled' and another plan that said 'frame Mineta as a panty thief and get him expelled', but both plans were labeled as failures.
Snapping the pencil she was holding between her fingers, Yaoyorozu growled to herself in an annoyed tone, "Damn it."
FIN
"...Yaomomo framed both Monoma and Mineta because she wanted to get Yosetsu into the same class as her?" Mina in the audience said in a surprised tone.
"I would never go so far as to get people expelled from UA for whatever reason," Yaoyorozu insisted.
Gesturing to the big theater screen, Juzo said, "But hey, we saw what it'd be like if Izuku was in our class. Personally, I'd like him as a classmate.
Nodding in agreement, Jurota said, "He is an exemplary model of what a UA student ought to be, at least if you ask me." As for Izuku, he was flattered that so many in 1-B liked him. It made the green-haired boy feel good about himself.
END OF CHAPTER
Author's notes;
Yeah, this was the Izuku in 1-B chapter, with the concept being something I've seen a few times before. I also have a few more concepts that I'm looking forward to working with, but as always I'm open to suggestions.
Stay frosty.
