Hey guys I'm back with another chapter and I see you left some reviews so let me get some questions out of the way. I plan on having some pairings but so far none of you have guessed right. And to Draconic Reborn, yes it was because I love that movie so much and its sequel came out not long ago soot was a tribute while also needing it for the story.
Without further ado let's get into this.
(Two days after the geist incident)
Vale has a beach park at the coast called where people would come to during the summer months called Dagobah municipal Beach. No-one has been to it in years as trash from the ocean has collected it self there in a large degree.
The early morning sun rose over the beach as Izuku was trying to pull a large fridge with some rope tied around it. He grunted and struggled to pull the rope as he tried to move the fridge off the beach. Which didn't help that All Might was sitting on top of the damn thing?
"Hey, Hey, this fridge actually makes a comfy seat!" All Might said in his Muscle Form, while he sat on top of the fridge. "I'm sure glad you haven't been able to move this thing off the beach, I'm getting awfully comfortable up here!" he said as Izuku then fell face first into the sand.
"Come on All Might, you have to weigh at least 274 Kilos or something?" the man smirked as he looked off to the side.
"Nope, plus I've lost weight recently so I'm only 255…in this form at least," he said as Izuku nodded then looked around.
"Anyway, why did we come here again? And why am I hauling garbage?" he asked as he looked around at the large amounts of garbage. All Might smiled and held up his phone torwards Izuku.
"Ha! It's obvious! It's because we are here to make you a more proper vessel!" he said as he started taking pictures on his phone. Izuku snapped around as tears gathered in his eyes.
"What! But I thought you said I was the other day!" he screamed into the sand as he screamed he held his body low and a cloud of depression was over his form.
Flashback (2 days ago)
"I-i-inherit, w-w-what do you mean?" Izuku asked confused at the prospect.
"I'm talking about my semblance!" He wiped his mouth of blood, "My semblance is something people have seeing as either super strength or invulnerability. Whenever someone asks for more, I dodge with a well-timed zinger and avoid it all together. It wouldn't do for people to know the Symbol of Peace's power was given to him."
"W-what?" Izuku said still confused. He looked down at him again and saw him standing next to the alley wall, muttering darkly and disbelieving to himself about the impossibility of it all.
"Stop muttering, it gets creepy after a while!" He put a hand on his head to turn him around and she looked up at him with a stunned expression. "There's a lot I have to explain and I'll tell you the basics right now."
He held out his hands and grinned down at him as her expression turned to one of awe. "This power is the power to transfer POWER! The name of this power I've been entrusted with is called… One for all! One man cultivates it's power and passes it to the next, and again and again, in doing so brave hearts with unwavering calls to save lives... Can wield this might! It is the crystallization of those with brave and noble hearts filled with justice. I was the eighth to receive this power, and I have chosen you to be the ninth inheritor."
"But why me?" Izuku asked, not sure if he was worthy of such a power.
"I've been searching for a successor for a long time now... And now I have finally come across someone I think has earned it. You had saved someone's life because you felt it was right to do. You were the one who shined brighter than any of those so-called Huntsmen, myself included! But... Hey it's your call to make." He gave him a shrug as he looked up at the sky, before his eyes glanced back down at her.
Izuku stared at All Might, not believing everything he had just heard, before tears started to well in his eyes again. He was being given a chance to be better by none other than his role model... How could he refuse a proposal to achieve his dream?
All might held a large hand to his ear, grinning brightly.
"Yes!" He shouted with excitement and emotion
"A straight answer, I'm loving it kid!" He laughed.
Present time
"Calm down kid, I'm talking about your body, it's clearly strong from all your training through the years but it should be stronger before we do this" he said as Izuku stopped and looked at the No.1 Huntsman. "You see "One for All" is unlike any other semblance that is known to mankind. It is the sum convergence from the strength of countless men and women. A body that's too weak and unprepared for that kind of power would have your limbs flying off and you exploding!" he said as Izuku blanched at this.
Izuku shivered at the thought in fear as he held his arms together, but then blinked in realization. "Oh, I see, so this is like a training exercise, right? To build up my body to handle your power?" he said as the man nodded and held up his thumb.
"Correct! But that's not all!" he said as he walked over to the fridge.
"I also feel sad that this place was left to rot, such a poor state it has become," he said as he tapped the fridge with his bare minimum strength and denting the fridge slightly.
"Oh yeah, now that I think about it, the tide brings in all this stuff from the ocean and pile it up here. People took advantage of this and began illegally dumping stuff, which is why people and tourists usually avoid this place," Izuku said as he looked around.
"The Young Huntsman these days are more focused on the flashy aspects of being one. Killing grimm, fighting bad guys and getting all sorts of fame because of it," he said as he placed his hand on top of the fridge. "Community Service. They can call it "Plain" all they like! But I refuse to let this place be filthy anymore" the fridge began to bend and break as he pushed it to the ground and with one push smashed the fridge flat and the large pile behind him.
"And that's how I'll teach you, young man! From the ground, up! So, let's clear the horizon of this place!" he yelled as Izuku could only look on in awe. "You, young Midoriya will clean up this Beach! And mark it as your first step to becoming a Huntsman!" Izuku looked at him and then the mountains of garbage as he felt the full weight of the task.
"This whole place?" he said as he looked around. "Isn't this a bit much?" he asked as the man smiled.
"Midoriya my boy, you're aiming to get into Beacon right?" he asked as the boy nodded.
"I thought I made this clear, this isn't an occupation a person without a semblance can take lightly. Not to mention the extreme difficulty of the school's requirements," he looked back as he stared into the boy's eyes.
"There are only ten months left until the initiation exam, so we need to make you into a more suitable vessel in time by that date!" he said as he turned around and held out sheets of paper.
"That's why I've drafted together this! "The Aim to Pass Initiation Dream Plan!" The sure-fire way to make you into a suitable vessel in time for the Exam!" he said as Izuku read over the whole thing.
"You've really thought of everything…even down to when I sleep?" he said as he looked over, as All Might had placed his hand on his shoulder.
"I'm not going to lie, this training is going to be hell, are you sure you want to continue this path?" he asked as Izuku looked at the paper and his hand as he thought about how hard this would be.
"…Yeah, I already know that no matter what I do, I'll always have to work 10 times harder than anyone else if I want to get anywhere! he said as All Might stared at the boy and then smiled.
"Then let's get started!" He yelled out.
And so, began the ten-month training from hell. For days on end, Izuku would go to the beach after school and on the weekends, pick up trash and take it to the entrance of the beach. Then he would take a 10km run around the park and a series of exercises and 'sparing' with All Might, it was honestly him trying not to get hit while attacking and didn't always get off lucky. He did all of these until he could no longer move his own body.
His mother Inko was initially worried about her eldest child as he would all ways come home tired and exhausted. So, hoping to help him, she adjusted his diet like he asked and continued to motivate him and encourage him. That alone was enough to keep him going. At school, he kept his grades up and everyone noticed a difference in him when they spared, they were surprised at the results he was getting. And that should have sent Katsuki flaring but he hadn't been around Izuku ever since the incident.
But Izuku felt that there was so much more he could do if he wanted to get stronger.
The days when his body cry out in pain, the ones when he would even puke from the strain of it all. But he pushed himself back up and continued. Because all his life he was ridiculed and treated like a second-class citizen by everyone because of his being faunas and being behind in some aspects of his school. Pushed down into the dirt where they felt he belonged. His ambitions laughed at and his desires crushed and his life made a living hell by everyone, including the one he once called a friend.
He dealt with it then and would probably still have to, but now things were different.
He had someone else who believed in him to achieve his dream. Someone who said the words he'd been dying to hear and spent his time helping him to accomplish his dream. He didn't want to disappoint him. And he never will. And he didn't want to disappoint her either.
Seven Months Later
Toshinori and Izuku were running through the park. Toshinori telling him some encouraging words as the boy was breathing and panting heavily. Suddenly he tripped and fell to the park floor. He stopped as he looked over to the boy.
"Hey, hey what's the matter!? There are only three months left until the exam!" the man said even as blood spewed from his mouth.
It was then he noticed the bandages wrapped around his hands and stretching down to his forearms.
"You haven't been following the plan, have you?" he asked as the boy said nothing while he lay there on the ground.
"Kid, it was designed to make you advance your athletic abilities in time for the Initiation. But if you keep overdoing it like this it's going to have reversed results! Do you want to be able to pass or not!?" he said as he scolded the boy for his reckless behavior. Izuku only gripped the leaves on the ground as he started to stand back up.
"I-I want to follow it, I do! …But it's not enough! Not enough to just pass the exam! I want to excel at it! I want to be the best! I have to work ten times harder than everyone else!" he said as he slowly got to his feet. "I want to be like you All Might!" he suddenly yelled with hesitation or exhaustion in his voice. "So throw everything you have at me!"
All Might could only feel a great sense of pride in the boy as he realized what the boy was doing. He buffed up into his larger form.
"You're a cheeky little one, aren't you?" He said as he held the boy up. "But you know what…" he said as a huge smile was on his face. "I can't say I don't like it!" he laughed boisterously as he placed the boy on his shoulder.
"It's no good being too impatient with your training! Have no fear as this old man will adjust your plan!" All Might reassured.
"…You're not old, All Might?" Izuku said weakly as the man grinned.
"Wait is that All Might?" They heard someone shout.
"But for now lets run!" He said hauling Izuku over his shoulder and sprinting away before a crowd could be formed.
Two Months Later – One Month Before the Exam
Toshinori has prepared to meet Izuku for another day of training. He had made leaps and bounds in progress. But they still had a month left until the Exam, so hopefully, he could finish the beach by then.
Suddenly he heard a loud scream as he made it to the beach. On top of a large pile of garbage, stood a shirtless Izuku Midoriya as he screamed up into the sky. His voice raging with a sense of triumph into the early morning sunrise.
"Hey, hey, hey…" he mumbled as he looked upon the beach before him.
What he saw was a pristine beach with a calm blue ocean that slowly swept across the sands. The sun just rising from the horizon as it made the whole location just beautiful to look at.
"Unbelievable! He even did outside the areas where I told him to! Seriously!? There's not even a speck of... well.. anything left!?" the tide gently swept in as the man could only look on in shock.
"He finished with a whole month to spare before the exam starts!" he said as he felt a swell of pride in his chest and looked back to the Beach.
"Oh, my…oh my…GOODNESS!" he yelled as he shifted to his larger form. Just as Izuku wobbled on his feet and fell off the large pile of garbage, All-Might dashed forth and caught him in mid-air as he gently cradled the tired boy in his arms.
"You earned yourself a rest kid, you did good," he said as Izuku weakly smiled up at the man.
"All Might…I did it…" he said as the man gently placed the boy on the sand.
"You're telling me, kid, you got the whole thing done with a month to spare. You just blew my expectations out of the water! AGAIN!" he praised as the boy smiled until he held up his phone to the boy. "Look at this," it was a picture of him depressed when he said he wasn't as proper of a vessel yet.
"That was you, Nine Months ago, when you first began to train under me…" he smiled as he looked at the boy. "But look at you now," he said as he looked over the boy's body. He was now packed with muscles to the brim. He didn't have a overly bulky frame, but the chiseled six pack he had more than spoke for itself.
"Right now, you are a bona fide vessel!" he said as Izuku looked at the photo on the phone then down to his bandaged hand.
He gripped his fist as small tears peeked at the edges of his eyes, "I feel like I've cheated somehow…" he said as All Might raised his eyebrow at the boy. "You spent so much time on me…I can't help but feel blessed!" he said with tears running down his face.
But to his surprise, the man merely shook his head. "That's not true, Young Midoriya, all this was with your own strength…" he said as Izuku nodded and wiped away the tears. "Now it's time for the award ceremony, and because you managed to get us a whole month extra, we have some extra time to help you handle my power better," he said as he then plucked a strand of his hair.
"Take this to your heart, this is the power you earned because of your own effort…" Izuku nodded as he gripped his fists.
The man closed his eyes as he held up the hair. The hair started cascading with aura as it took the same color as All Might's, a brilliant gold. The process took maybe ten seconds before the glow went away as he opened his eyes and said in all maters of seriousness.
"NOW!" He held forward the hair. "Eat this."
…Okay, he wasn't ready for that. "Huh?"
"It doesn't really matter how it's done, just as long as you take in something of my being," he said as Izuku could only stare in shock.
"Y-Yeah but, I didn't think it would go like this? It's different from what I imagined!" he said as the man only shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, just eat the damn hair! Come on, come on, come on!" he said as Izuku swallowed his hesitation and swallowed the strand of hair.
You ever find a strand of hair in your food and you can't help but feel the urge to vomit? Well, that is how Izuku felt as he swallowed it whole. It didn't help the fact that he read that in your lifetime that at least fourteen of the hairs you find are pubic.
"Okay, I swallowed it! It was hard but I did it! Are you sure this is going to give me your power?" he asked as the man nodded.
"Well, you won't get it right away if that is what you're asking, what do you think a stomach does? It will take about two or three hours until your stomach digests the hair. By then you should start to feel my power course through your body, this extra month you've given us has made me realize I hadn't considered teaching you how to fight with One for all. With your physique you should be able to control a good eight percent of it's strength. It won't be at 100% but I can promise you, you will make Beacon." All Might stood tall and ready to teach.
"Young Midoriya! Are you ready to learn how to use my power and take yourself another step to becoming a Huntsman!" he said as Izuku already had his answer.
"Yes!" he shouted with no hesitation in his voice as the man grinned.
"A straight answer again! I like you kid!" he said as the two began the training to harness the power of One for All.
I wanted to give Izuku some time to work with One for All. I did that so he can use a certain something by the time he gets to Beacon. Notice on how I said eldest child in the text above. Well I had an idea for an OC but I didn't want to introduce them yet. They won't be at Beacon with Izuku, but we'll meet them later.
Just going through and correcting a few things.
