All right, just so you guys know I will be using the start of each chapter from now on to answer any questions I receive from you guys, as well as make any announcements. Anyways, thank you guys for reading. Also thank you to my 50 followers. I hope you guys continue to enjoy reading this.
"Young man, I gave you specific instructions not to overdo it! You weren't even out for three hours and you already broke almost every bone in your arm!" Recovery girl was scolding Midoriya who was back at the UA infirmary. Just like before it was just the two of them in the room. All Might was being scolded in the hallway by Mr. Aizawa. "I know you want to impress All Might but that doesn't give you any reason to keep doing this to yourself. You need to learn control or you could cause permanent damage."
"I'm sorry ma'am I was trying to use my explosion quirk but instead I used some sort of super strength. I don't even know how I did it." Midoriya said looking down at his now healed arm. Instead of a surge of power he just felt like himself again. The door slowly opened.
"How are you feeling Midoriya?" The once again skeletal All Might slowly walked into the room, trying to keep his distance from the still fuming mad Recovery Girl.
"All Might you need to stop pushing the boy so hard, he barely recovered from his last visit and you two already broke almost every bone in his arm! I knew you were reckless but I expected better from Aizawa." Recovery Girl started hitting All Might with her cane again as he tried to defend himself.
"My apologies Recovery Girl. I was late and wasn't there to help the boy with his quirk. I'll do my best to help keep things under control once you discharge the boy." The black haired man came in the door following All Might and Izuku finally got a better look at him. He looked extremely tired, his hair was unkempt. Whoever he was he has to be a pro, but Izuku had a hard time thinking of any pro like him.
"Midoriya, I can already tell your going to be a problem child, so let me explain how this is going to work. All Might may have gotten permission to train you, but you don't have any control over your quirk and we don't know exactly how powerful it is, so think of me like your safeguard. My job is to keep you from killing yourself while helping you reach your full potential. I know you plan to come here so that means we have ten months to get you in decent shape. While All Might is in charge of training you physically you can't fall behind in your studies. I will be checking on your grades and if they ever slip below my expectations, then I have the principal pull the plug and your dreams of coming to UA end. Do I make myself clear?" At that final part Aizawa gave a glare with his suddenly red eyes making Izuku even more intimidated by the man than he already had been.
"Ye- yes sir." Midoriya stuttered, nodding his head.
"Good, now come on let's get back to the beach." Aizawa turned and walked out the door, not even waiting for the other two to follow. Midoriya turned to All Might with a pleading look in his eyes.
"You better listen to him Young Midoriya. Part of why he has the time to teach you is because he expelled his entire homeroom class." All Might gravely stated before following Aizawa. Izukus eyes widened at the revelation.
"He what!?"
Back at the beach.
All Might found another fridge and moved it to the opening made by Izukus previous attack. Just like before Izuku was standing in front of the fridge ready to strike, this time he was joined by Mr. Aizawa and All Might was now next to him instead of the edge of the beach.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? Last time I broke my arm, and with you guys this close you might get hurt by the whirlwind." Midoriya said looking back and forth between Aizawa and All Might.
"Yes, because this time you aren't going to strike until I tell you to. First, we need to figure out what exactly triggers your quirk, then we worry about using it offensively." Aizawa said as he shot a glare at All Might.
"Right, sorry, I probably should have had him start with that." All Might said as he rubbed the back of his head looking down into the sand.
"So Midoriya, what can you tell me about your quirk. How many times have you used it? What's been going on each of those times?"
"I, I don't know much about the quirk itself. I've only used it four, maybe five times, and this morning was the first time I consciously used it. Every other time has been on accident. The first couple times were in self-defense, then there was that time with All Might which is how UA found out about me, and then there was this morning. It's been slightly different whenever I use it. The first time it was a small explosion from my hand that barely did any damage, the second time I don't even remember using it, I just saw the aftermath. I had been attacked by a villain and was being suffocated. Apparently I blew up half the tunnel we were in. The third time there was no explosion or anything like that. All Might and I had been talking and suddenly I passed out. And most recently I punched the fridge with some kind of super strength making some kind of windstorm in the process." Midoriya rattled off that information at a mile a minute, barely giving Aizawa a chance to process what was being said. After a moment Aizawa turned to All Might.
"What happened when you two talked when his quirk activated?"
"Oh, umm, I had just explained to him that he could be a hero, and I would be willing to train him. I started to help him off the ground and that's when he started glowing." All Might started looking back and forth between the other two.
"Kid, what were you thinking about this morning when you hit that fridge the second time?" Aizawa turned back to Izuku.
"Oh, ummm, I was thinking about All Might, and our conversation from before I went to UA." Izuku said. A grin flashed across Aizawas face. I wasn't exactly a comforting thing, in fact it worried Midoriya more than anything.
So that's how it's triggered. Aizawa thought to himself. Midoriya took a step back from his trainer, even All Might tensed slightly at the look on Aizawas face.
"All Might, go to the edge of the beach and keep any civilians away." Aizawa started to loosen his scarf.
"Aizawa, what are you going to do to my student?" All Might looked at the man before him who appeared to be sizing up Midoriya.
"Midoriya, stay here, get ready to start your workout." Aizawa started to walk away with All Might, talking about whatever Aizawa had planned.
5 Minutes Later
Midoriya looked over to the edge of the beach, in the distance was All Might, all alone, no sign of Aizawa anywhere. Midoriya sighed and thought about the conversation they all had earlier.
There must be some sort of connection I wasn't thinking about between the times I used my quirk. But what is it?
A shadow passed over Midoriya who turned just in time to see Mr. Aizawa leaping at him from a pile of trash to his left. Before he had a chance to try to react the scarf that had been around Aizawas neck was now wrapped around Midoriya.
"Too slow. Are you really going to be a hero if you can get taken down so easily?" Aizawa landed on the ground and continued to hold Izuku in place, not giving him any room to move.
"That wasn't fair! You didn't tell me we were going to be sparring, and you have years of experience over me!" Izuku cried as he tried to struggle to no avail.
"Fair? Are natural disasters and power hunger villains fair? What about catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? If you want to be a hero, then you need to learn to deal with unfairness every day." Aizawa lectured Midoriya, tightening the scarf and pulling Midoriya a little closer. "If you want to be a hero, you need to learn to go against the odds. You need to go beyond. Plus Ultra." Aizawa paused to let his words sink in. "Now then, use your quirk, break out."
"But I don't know how!"
"If you want to make it through the entrance exam you need to figure out how to use your quirk, or you can just give up and we end this right here." Aizawa looked over at All Might, making sure he was keeping his distance. "So what's it gonna be Midoriya?"
He's right, all the other applicants have years of experience. I can't give up, not now. I need to be able to overcome whatever they throw at me with a fearless smile. I just need to remind myself, what would All Might do? What would Kacchan do? They'd fight, tooth and nail, they'd win no matter what it takes. As mean as he is, Kacchan always wins, he blows away anyone that tries to stop him, and that's exactly what I need to do, right now!
A smile crept across Midoriyas face as he felt heat begin to build up in his hands. Steam started to rise as he let the pressure build up. He looked up at Aizawa with determination in his eyes and said one word.
"Boom"
He let out a blast from each of his hands knocking Aizawa back almost into the ocean and freeing himself.
"Holy crap I did it!" Aizawa slowly got back up and wrapped the scarf around himself.
"Not bad kid." He and All Might made their way to Midoriya as they started to discuss their plan for the next ten months.
Midoriyas schedule was one that no sane person would even consider. He worked out two hours in the morning cleaning the beach before school each day, went to classes, and immediately went to the beach and cleaned it for another hour before he had quirk and combat training with Mr. Aizawa and All Might. After two hours of quirk and combat training he would eat for one hour, then spend two hours doing homework and training his mind before going to bed and starting the whole process over. Saturdays he would work with All Might on just training his body with no quirk usage. Sundays he would train at UA directly under the instruction of Principal Nezu working on refining his already extraordinary mental abilities, as well as gaining a better understanding of his quirk from outside of combat scenarios.
Midoriya had finally learned that if he thought about certain moments or people, he could use his quirks at will. This made things interesting when he tried to punch the fridge again, this time with Recovery Girl already on the scene. He thought about the same moment as before, with the same result. A broken arm, and a very concerned All Might.
"Young Midoriya. We need to talk." All Might stood before Izuku, his usual calm expression replaced with one of great concern.
All Might asked the other two for some privacy and soon they stood alone on the already partially cleaned beach.
"What is it All Might?" Midoriya looked at the man, his greatest hero who always had a fearless smile. A smile that was currently absent.
"You might want to watch this video." All Might took out his phone and showed Izuku a video he had captured moments before, or Midoriya creating a windstorm with his fist as he punched the fridge out to sea. "Does that punch remind you of anything?" Midoriya watched the video for a second time, his expression going from confused, to horrified.
"Is that-"Midoriya started.
"My quirk. It appears so. I thought it was the first time you hit the fridge, but this just confirms it. However this shouldn't be possible." All Might said, putting the phone slowly back into his pocket. "However, I think I figured out something about your quirk, which at least partially explains why it works the way it does. Your explosion quirk, it's just like the one of that boy you helped save from the sludge monster, your friend from school right?"
"Uh huh?" Midoriya started to realize where this was going, and he really didn't like it.
"And you never used anything like the wind tunnel until after you passed out later that day, right after you grabbed my hand?"
"You don't think that I somehow stole your quirk do you? I mean you can still use it right, and even then the idea of me being able to use other quirks is crazy!" Midoriya started muttering again thinking about what this means.
"Midoriya!" All Might interrupted.
"Sorry." Izuku scratched the back of his head.
"I know there are people out there that can steal powers, and that's definitely not what you did, both myself and that boy still have our quirks, however, every case I know of where someone can copy quirks there's been a time limit of some sort, which you don't appear to have. Also, if you were just going to be able to copy quirks from anyone then you should have way more than just two quirks. Plus, there is no way you should be able to copy my quirk, yet somehow that's exactly what appears to have happened, so I should probably explain to you what it is just in case." All Might sighed and looked out to sea. Midoriya looked at him, wondering what was about to happen. All Mights quirk is one of the worlds greatest secrets, and he was about to find out what it is. "Most people think my quirk is strength enhancement or invulnerability, but the truth is it's a unique quirk called One For All, and it can be passed from person to person. One person gains the quirk, cultivates it, adds their own power to it, then passes it on to the next generation. I am the 8th person to wield it, and it appears that you, Izuku Midoriya, are now the 9th."
"Hold on, quirks can't just be handed down from person to person, each quirk is supposed to be unique, I mean this changes everything we know about quirks and how they work and-"
"Stop nerding out!" All Might yelled loud enough to get Midoriya's attention.
"I don't know if I'm right, but if I am we need to increase your training, because your body shouldn't even be able to contain it the way you are right now, and you're just going to keep breaking yourself until you learn to control it. I'll bring it up to the principle and see if he has any ideas. Also I'll talk to him about my theory about how you're getting your power. I'm sure he'll want to discuss it with you on Sunday." With that All Might said goodnight and left, leaving Midoriya even more confused than he had been when training started.
That Sunday Midoriya arrived at UA to begin his training with the principal, but they weren't alone. He was introduced to a tall, muscular, blonde man who he learned is currently a student at UA.
"Izuku Midoriya, meet Mirio Togota. He will be helping you learn to control your quirk this morning before we move on to sharpening your mind this afternoon."
