Chapter two
It had been about two years since Harry had ended up being pushed through the veil and now Harry now looked to be around seven years old instead of five like he had before. Though he did have to say that there had honestly been a lot of different things that had happened both to Harry, and those around him, during those last two years. More so then Harry had originally thought there was going to be. As it really had been a very busy last two years.
Starting first with fact that the woman Inko, whom had been the first person he had met after arriving through the veil, had actually adopted Harry as her son. Something Harry had been incredible weary about at first considering just what those he had called family before had done to him.
But in the end the honest warm and caring nature of both Inko, as well as her son Izuku, had been able to rather quickly win Harry over. Leading to him gaining both a mother and even better a younger brother in one shot.
Even if Harry did still mainly go by his last name; as he while loving the fact he had a family Harry did still want to honor the family he had before at the same time. Hence the fact his name was hyphenated and continued to hold the Potter name into it.
When Inko had adopted Harry, it had been after Harry had let her know that his family was dead and that he had no one he could count on still alive. Seeing as she had been rather insistence of helping him find his family when she had first found him.
After hearing this, Inko had assumed that his parents had been killed in one of the more recent villain attacks and Harry had gotten away. Even more so when Harry found out that the area he had originally landed, and been found in, was actually the location of said villain attack; one that had a fire quirk of some sort.
Something that at the time, Harry hadn't told her wasn't true, as Harry wasn't sure that he could trust her enough to know how she would take it if she did know the truth. Not to mention he wasn't exactly sure how to tell her about how he really ending up in the situation he was in the first place; as he wasn't sure that she wouldn't think he was insane. And in all honestly Harry was really starting to see his trip through the veil as a second chance at life, with a family of his own and he didn't want to lose that.
Not to mention he noticed that Inko, and his brother Izuku, was rather sensitive to a lot of different thing and didn't want to worry her more than she already was. She had already had an enraged sort of panic attack when she had caught Harry changing his clothes and saw the scars he still had from his life before. And he really didn't want to see how she would react when or even if she found out how horrible his life had been before the war as honestly the sight of his scars had been bad enough as it was.
Scars that, while not including every single scar that he had before he had gone through the veil, was still a lot more scars then he had when he had actually been five; and certainly more scars then any child should have at the same time.
These scars included some of the scars that had been caused during the more turning points in Harry's life. Which included the scar he had on his shoulder from the Basilisk bite he had gotten. The scars on his side from escape from the mother dragon in his fourth year, several whip like scars on his back from his life with the Dursley's, the cut on his arm from Voldemort's resurrection and then most hated, the two scars he had from when where the killing curse had hit him. One on his chest, that seemed to nearly cross said chest, and then the most hated on that still remained on his head; though this one was covered by his now longer hair.
At the same time, even if he wasn't exactly telling his new mother just where or how he had gotten those scars. He found that Inko really didn't push him to tell her and because of this he found himself very happy that Inko was adopting him, and giving him the family, he always wanted.
Especially when said family included both Inko and Izuku; both whom reminded Harry of pure sunshine at times. Not to mention, Harry was really grateful for Inko as she had given Harry the chance to find out about the world he had ended up in. Which was what he had been looking for when she had first found him anyway.
Something that led to Harry quickly finding out he was in a totally different world then what he had left, once he had first been pushed through the veil in the wizarding world. One that to his immense joy didn't have a wizarding world at all. Then, after finding out about that, Harry quickly got even more information about the world he was now part of.
Starting with the fact that apparently that he was now a Kitsune of some sort and apparently this transformation was something called a quirk. Which because it seemed to be so large, not to mention common, lead Harry to believe that these quirks had replaced the magic in the world that he was now in. And because this world didn't have magic the way he was used to it his body had been forced to adapt to be able to make a place in this new world.
Knowing this really helped Harry come to terms with the fact that now he didn't have to worry about the fact he looked different than he had before. Didn't have to worry about hiding the way he looked, as it wasn't something that was classified as too different; even if Inko hadn't really seen a quirk like his before.
For crying out loud there were people who were literally living cement or trees. A multiple tailed fox boy wasn't anything that would get too many raised eyebrows. Well, besides the cooes of how quite or adorable he was, which Harry could honestly have done without; and may have glared at a few of those that said that until they stopped. But still, as for as his new mother and brother were concerned his looks were normal; for the most part.
Which made Harry relax a bit after finding this out. Though he did get a rather bad headache, as well as a growing sense of dread, when he found out that this world seemed to be largely made up of Villains and Heroes.
Something that caused Harry headache to only grow, when he found out that his little brother Izuku seemed to really want to be a hero himself. Something Harry wasn't sure he really wanted to do himself, considering what happened to him in the wizarding world as their so-called hero. Even if both Inko and Izuku told him he had a quirk that would make him an amazing hero.
Speaking of quirks, Harry had found out quite a bit about his apparent quirk. Especially after realizing how to best study said quirk over the last two years. Even if, at the same time, most of what he found out about his quirk was mainly informational based instead of control or skill based.
At the same time considering the fact that Harry's current body was only seven years old and there really was only so much he could do when it came to both control and power wise of his own quirk. He felt that that may have been a given, and that he would gain further control as he got older, now that he knew what he had to gain control over in the first place.
Still what Harry had been able to figure out, was the more basic parts of what Inko called his quirk. Most of which he had been able to figure out because of what he knew about his magic from before and trying to best guess the way it had been warped to better fit the world he was now part of.
Because of that, what he had been able to find out was all rather interesting. Starting first with the things he had actually found out by accident; and the part of his quirk that Inko seemed to love the most.
This was the fact that he could go from what was his more human like form, which was purely human besides the fox ears and tails he had, to a full five tailed fox from who's size he could control. Again, which Inko as well as Izuku, adored mostly because of his current age he was nothing but fluff; with tails. Fluffy tails at that.
Currently Harry found out that he was able go as large as a small pony, which was the largest he could force himself to get, to the size of a small kitten. Which much to Harry's embarrassment was actually the size he truly was when he went into his full animal form. And the size he would remain as, at least it was while he was physically around the age of seven; or wasn't forcing himself to be larger.
He instinctively knew that he would be able to larger as he got older; naturally larger at that. Not to mention his largest size he could grow would also increase as well. Though that little fact didn't stop him from giving Izuku rides on his back in his larger size. Something he hoped he'd be able to keep up with as his brother really seemed to love doing it.
Harry had also found out that he no longer had normal nails on his fingers but rather pointed almost claw like nails. They were a pale almost silver white color and stuck out about a good inch out from where his nails had once ended at.
These claws, as Harry had quickly found out, where razor sharp, iron hard and very similar to have little blades at the very tip of his fingers. Which meant that Harry had to usually always be aware of said claws and more careful with how he handled things. At least he did until he had gotten used enough to said claws in became instinctive to be aware of what they were doing.
Along with his new claws Harry had also, learned about the fact he had increased reflexes, strength, speed, hearing, sense of smell as well as a boost in his healing. All of which Harry had to learn as much as he could and how to control as best he could due to the dangers that could occur if he didn't; just as he had to with his nails.
With the increases in his speed, strength and reflexes Harry had found out about these rather quickly. Mostly because he kept underestimating things, slamming into, under stepping them or otherwise being a walking disaster. Something that wasn't helped in the least bit by the fact he had suddenly shrunken in size making him continuously underestimating the distance he needed to move. Not to mention the fact his tails keep getting in the way and tripping him in the oddest of circumstances.
Something that had been put away as him just gaining his quirk and getting used to it by Inko, Because apparently most quirks come in at the age of four or so and considering Harry had been about five when they had first found him it could be used as an excuse as to why he wasn't used to what he was. Or that is what Inko seemed to think and Harry just went along with it as it was easier then explaining to full truth.
But in the end, after plenty of bruises scrapes, cuts and near misses with broken bones, Harry had been able to work with his reflexes, speed and strength and while doing so had found out they had all had become more animistic to a degree. With his speed and reflexes being the things that had increased the most; making his movement fox like and graceful.
While on the other had his strength hadn't really increased that much, being similar to what it had been in his more adult like body. Which in a child's body was much more impressive all things considering but left Harry believing he'd be about twice as strong as a normal human and perhaps five times as fast. Or at least if his strength and speed stayed like it was as he grew up, he would be around that strength and speed level once everything was said and done.
As for the increased senses these had changed the most. In fact, Harry quickly found out about these senses very quickly as he continued get severe headaches because he wasn't used to how sensitive, and powerful, his new senses now were.
With the senses often overwhelming him, at least until when he was able to both get used to how powerful his new senses now were and had learned to control them as well. With most of the time the control in question being him dimming down the level of his senses; just to give himself some peace.
When it came to his senses these was mainly his hearing, and sense of smell that had changed. Seeing as his sense of smell and hearing had gotten as strong as a fox's were. Which at the beginning had been utterly hell as he could both smell and hear everything that was going on around him.
Nearly passing out sometimes with how overbearing some scents and sound could be. Hell, even after two years of training and working with it his senses still overwhelmed him when things were too loud or had too strong a smell.
At the same time, the one he had to work with the least when it came to control but discovered just as fast as he had his other changes, was his healing. This wasn't incredibly strong or give him instant self-heal like some self-healing quicks Harry had found out about. But Harry did find he healed a lot faster than others would and that it took more to do damage to him at the same time.
Though at the same time Harry couldn't tell if that had really changed all that much considering the fact that Harry had always had a good deal of durability when it came to taking a hit even before he had gone through the veil. Though that durability combined with his healing made it so Harry could last a lot longer then he would have otherwise. So, he was grateful for it none the less.
In fact, if he had to judge Harry would say his healing was a good five or six times faster than it used to be. Making it so things that would usually take months to heal only took a week or two. While smaller injuries heal in a few hours or a day at most.
Not only that but, and this did take Harry longer than it had his other changes, he had also been able to find out that each tail he had represented a power he had with them. Ones that he knew was based off the magic he had had in the previous would; or a combination of his magic and his personality.
And that as he got older and after earning complete control the powers he currently had, which Harry knew he was nowhere near doing at the moment, he could possibly earn more powers; and with it more tails. Until he eventual became something similar to a nine-tailed kitsune. Or at least that is what Harry believed would happen; as he had no prove for or otherwise so far.
Speaking about the power his current tails had. Well as he currently had five tails, showing the pure magical powers he had before he had arrived in this new world. Which similar to the scars he had as Harry Potter seemed to also follow him through the veil; at least in power level it had. Though like the scars it too had changed some.
Sadly, though the control he had before didn't seem to follow him, and Harry found himself having very similar control over his powers that he had on his magic when he had been the age he now was. Meaning very little to no control with it mainly reacting to his more extreme emotion than anything else.
But even with this lack of control over his powers, Harry had still found out that each tail had its own power. All of which, while he had very little or no control over them, he did know what each tail was capable of; even if it did take him two years to learn this. And a good deal of that was learning enough control over them they didn't lash out with his every emotion like they had been prone to do at first.
Something that was further helped by the fact Harry had learned to tell the difference between his tails and the Power they offered him. Even if that did take more time than Harry would have liked as there was no real physical difference between his five shining silver tails. That Inko often told him shone like the moon against the darkness of both his hair and the clothing Harry usually took to wearing.
What he found out about his first tail, was something that in all honestly that made it one of the favorites out of all the tail powers he had. And the one that he had currently he best control over as he used it more often than his other tails.
Mostly because of just what the tail in question did, and the fact it offered Harry another route then being a hero; not that he told either his mother or younger brother this. As both of them seemed to idolize heroes; especially his younger brother Izuku. And he didn't want to see or even think about how his new little brother would react if he found out just what Harry really thought of heroes; or to be more specific himself being a hero.
However, that was besides the point, as the power of his first tail turned out to be healing. This time unlike his own self-healing, that he had both in this world as well as his old one, this power let him heal others. At the same time, even if he was ecstatic about the power this tail had, Harry was quickly able to find out that when it came to said healing, or at least the power of his ability to heal with this tail it was more like the battlefield healing Harry could do before.
Meaning that most of the time the most Harry could heal, was deep cuts, bruising, broken bones but nothing more extreme than that. Still it was something that Harry knew could prove to be extremely helpful both in present time as well as in the future. Not to mention Harry was hopeful that in the future that perhaps he could do more than that, once he learned better control or gained more power both of which he felt was bound to happen in future years.
Though, at the same time, even if that did prove to be the limitation of his healing tail, which really wasn't that bad a limitation all things considering, Harry knew he would always love that tails power. As Harry had always felt better healing, or helping other, then he ever had fighting. Even if fighting was all that the wizarding world let Harry really excel in before.
Next would be his second tail, which Harry had been able to find out gave Harry the ability to control wind to a rather high degree. Something Harry got the feeling was an ability he had gained in the first place, mainly because of his love and skill when it came to flying. Not to mention there was an add possibility of perhaps there being something like a magical inheritance he hadn't been able to train, or even know about it, from before.
With this power, or this tail really, Harry was able to make it so he could temporarily fly or even make blades of wind. With how long he could actually fly or how many air blades he made depending on the inner energy he had when using this ability.
Though he did find that he couldn't call up large amounts of wind, no where near hurricane forces and his ability with said wind power was in sharp blade of winds or if not, that lifting himself up; similar to how flying would have been. Though it was rather draining for Harry to do this, so he really couldn't do it nearly as long as either him, or Izuku, wished it could
As similar to the magic he could use before he had gone through the veil, there was a limit to how long he could use his tails before he couldn't anymore. In fact, with a bit of practice, Harry had found out the more powers he used in a short period of time, no matter what tail said power came from, the more exhausted he was.
Not to mention at the young age he currently was at, Harry found despite having the power level he had when he had been older he didn't exactly have full access to it all or the sheer control he had before.
Which meant no matter how hard he tried Harry was putting way too much power into what he was doing, wasting said power as he was doing so, because of the lack of control he had it wasn't being used the way Harry wanted it to. With most of it bleeding off into the air doing absolutely nothing instead of what he was trying to get it to do.
Something that meant, at least in Harry's mind, that he would have to relearn said control to be able to access the full power level he could use before; to be able to do some of the more precise abilities he had before. So that eventually he would be able to use his tails longer and if he worked hard enough on him, deepen the well of power he had when it came to his current power level.
Though on a side note when it came to his second tail Harry had found out rather quickly what it could do, and how to at the very least stop it; faster than he did with his first tail. Mainly because of the fact that when it came to this power it reacted strongly to his emotions, more so then the majority of his other powers did. And while he couldn't call powerful winds up he could still call up cutting and lifting winds up; which when combined with his heightened emotions could do a good deal of damage.
Letting Harry learn rather quickly that he would need to learn how to better control his emotions if he didn't want his wind, or any of his other powers, lashing out whenever his emotions got to strong.
That or learn to get complete control over the tail in questions so it wouldn't happen either and at the moment learning to control his emotions was certainly both quicker and easier for Harry.
Not to mention would help with the learning of control not only over that tail but his others as well. Seeing as doing that, or stopping his powers from lashing out, was more important at the moment then having completely control; or at least it was right now.
Something Inko had actually informed Harry about and offered to help him learn more emotional control. As apparently using your quirk without a proper license was against the law. Well, that and the damage his quirk was causing to his new home might have helped as well. Even if it was easy to repair for the most part as most of his more emotional outburst happened to happen outside; instead of in their home.
Yes, being a child would give him some protection when it came to the quirk laws, but not learning how to follow said laws now, not to mention learn the control to do so, would only breed problems for him as he got older; or at least that is something Inko thought. And something Harry agreed with.
Mostly because even the idea of the lack of control he could possibly have over his quirk actually scared him a bit. As the control he had over his magic he had as Harry Potter, instead of Harry Potter-Midoriya as he was now, had been something that had saved his life several times; sometime even before he even knew he had magic in the first place.
Even if, at the same time it was that same control, that had end up being used against him as a charge from several jealous people during his so-called trail. As apparently it was dark to have so fine-tuned control over your magic; or it was by the time his 'trail' had come around.
Beyond that, and back to information Harry had found about on his own powers, since he had gotten his quirk. Which was apparently to replace his magic after going through the veil. Or to be more precise the powers that Harry had found out that came with his third tail.
Which was one Harry found was one of the tails that was mainly like his offensive magic had been when it came to its power; in fact it was purely offensive with some creative use. It was also one of the tails he had that was more closely tied to his older magic then others.
Something that made Harry really happy. As it meant that despite his magic having changed liked it had, some of his tails made it so that it was like he hasn't lost all of the magic he had from before; something that would have been close to heart breaking for Harry considering just how close he was to his magic. Even if, at the same time, it wasn't exactly the exact same as it had been before; it was just similar enough that Harry could draw comfort from its similarity.
When it came to this tail, what Harry could do when he called on its power, was to be able to disarm others from whatever weapon they may have in hand; similar to the Expelliarmus had been able to do.
He could also do things like blast both people and other objects away from him, like the Bombarda had done; though currently that was at a much lower power level then he had been able to do as an adult. With him most being able to maybe knock someone off their feet with the power he currently could use or control.
Which along with the powers to make magical made binding, like the Incarcerous spell had, which would disappear when Harry wants it to or when he is too exhausted to hold it. As well as the power to stun those he hits with his power.
Which from Harry could tell would last anywhere from a minute to an entire hour at most; depending on the amount of power he put into single attack. All of which really made it so that his third tail really seemed to take after the most common offence magic Harry used in his life before the veil.
Followed by his fourth tail, which was another tail of his that held ties that were closer to his magic, yet at the same time more in tune to what Harry knew about Kitsunes from his reading in the wizarding world. So, magic that was just different enough from what he usually used to be noticeable, but at the same time still similar enough he could think of ways to compare and used then it would have been otherwise.
This particular tail let Harry use things like illusions as well as both shield his and other mind. And lately Harry had noticed that if he concentrates really hard on it, he can read another's mind with direct eye contact; even if it left him with an incredibly large headache, not to mention utterly drained, after doing so.
At the same time Harry found that the illusions could be draining if keep up for long periods of time and that when he did use them he had to concentrate on the details of what he wanted in his illusion; otherwise it would look hazy and easily broken out of. Which was something Harry was currently working on as using illusion really fascinated Harry.
Not to mention Harry had also found out, with a little bit of experimentation that may or may not have technically been illegal. As he was using it against other and that technically wasn't allowed, his brother's bullies or not. That if the person he was trying to use the illusions against had a really strong will, or enhanced senses then they were more likely to figure out they were under an illusion and break out of it.
Which more often than not left Harry with a rather bad headache when someone forcefully broke through his illusions instead of him, himself, breaking or releasing said illusions of his own choosing. Though it did make him all the more determined to become stronger in his illusions so he could trap that that could break out of his illusions now. To be able to full all the sense and make it so he could utter disappear from them if he wanted to; was honestly a dream come true to Harry.
Finally, and so far, his last tail. Though Harry wasn't so sure if that would stay that way, as something told Harry if he continued to train and gain power, he could gain more tails as well. Even if at the same time the same feeling was telling him that he wouldn't be gaining a new tail for a while now either; if that even did happen.
Which considering from what Harry knew, and read, about Kitsunes, there was kitsunes that had more than five tails out there, as well as less, and had gained more over time. Or at least, there had been in his old world; which meant that potentially Harry could gain more tails as well.
Anyway, when it came to his final and fifth tail, this tail was another one that was closely tied to the magic he had in his old world but in an opposite direction then what his third tail had been. And it happened to be another power Harry had been rather gifted in when it came to what he had known in the wizarding world; or at least as far as the wizarding world knew it was his most powerful abilities.
Seeing as this tail had the what Harry considered his more defensive geared power, as the main power of this tail was that it let him make shields around himself or others. With the strength of the shield in question depending on the level of power he put into the shield.
Very similar to all the other powers he was able to use. Though in the regards of the shield it seemed he had to consciously think on the amount of power he wanted to go into it; so he could get the strength of the shield he truly wanted.
So far, at least at his current age of about seven, the most Harry could do was a shield around himself that could block on punches, kick and when he wanted to rain; oh and smaller explosions but that was a more personal goal he had forced himself to be able to do.
Not to mention Harry found that currently he could use shields like this for about an hour without exhausting himself. Though at the same time, because he knew how important a good shield could be, Harry was really working on improve the strength of his shields. Working on manipulating the size of his shield as well as the time he could use said shield.
Not only that but trying to work on using his shield with the other abilities he had. Trying to make it so he could use the shield while using his other powers without completely exhausting himself by doing so; something he wasn't quite successful in but was very slowly making process in.
However, finding out the powers he had, and just what all the changes he had gotten from his trip through the veil those two years ago, wasn't the only thing Harry had done during that time.
In fact, it wasn't even the best thing Harry had done, or learned, during those last two years. As state earlier Harry had gotten a family, and that honestly was the best thing that had happened to him so far. Hell, it was the best thing that happened to as a whole; in all his life both as Harry Potter as well as the one he was living now. And in Harry mind would most likely continue to be the best thing he could think of happening to him; even in the future.
Speaking of him have a family, Harry had really thrown himself into that; especially being an older brother to Izuku. Whom was now six and believed he was utterly quirkless; at least according to the Doctor he had gone to Izuku was. Something Harry didn't believe in the least bit as he swore he could feel something powerful in his little brother just waiting for the right time to come out.
But at the same time Harry got the feeling that it would take something much more extreme to bring out whatever energy it was that was in Izuku out of him. So, until then it would be like he was quirkless. Something Harry didn't like, simply because of how sad it made his little brother, and how Izuku seemed to be rather depressed about not being able to follow his dream about being a hero.
Now Harry himself wasn't sure he wanted to be a hero, considering everything that had happened to him because he had been a hero of the wizarding world. Something he hadn't told anyone in this world. Both because they didn't know his past and he would have to explain it to let them know why he felt this way.
And because he simply didn't want to see the disbelieve on either his mother's or brother's face if they found out he didn't want a hero. Which would in turn be turned in to the explaining he didn't want to be a part of, as why he didn't want to be a hero in the first place.
But at the same time, there was no way he was going to let his little brother give up on his dream like that; not when he could help it. And if that meant that Harry might have to become a hero himself to follow at his brother's side then so be it. For his brother Harry would be willing to do that.
As he wasn't going to let anything cause him to lose his brother, not if he could help it. And if being a Hero was what his brother wanted to do with his life, then Harry would do everything in his power to help his brother succeed with his dream. Even if he seemed to be the only one who believed that Izuku could be a hero without a powerful quirk to fall back on; even their mother was more worried he would get hurt because of his lack of quirk.
Something that really upset Harry at times because from what he could see Izuku had a heart of gold and was always will to help someone; even if he had to go out of his way to do it. Something Harry had seen him do on several occasions, and not all of them being for humans. Seeing as Harry had seen his brother go out of his way to help a cat out of a tree. Just because he saw it in trouble and saw that he could help it; despite the fact he did get scratched for it.
This was something that reminded Harry rather fiercely of Neville in some degree, and how strong a spine the boy in question had gained when all the cards had been thrown done. Not to mention how many lives the plant loving teen in question had managed to save in the end; even if it had cost him his own life to do so. As Neville and truly been a Hero both in live and even in death.
Still, Harry was reminded of one of the kindest, loyalist and bravest persons Harry knew every time he looked into his brother's eyes; quirk or no. Which was something Harry knew without a doubt in his mind was something a Hero should be like. Be it in this world or his old world, Izuku held what Harry saw as the heart, and soul, of a hero.
But what frustrated him the most on this was that, no one seemed to see that when it came to Izuku. All they seemed to see when they looked at his brother was the fact that he didn't have powers and mocked his dreams because of it
It made Harry truly wonder, didn't these people know their own history? How do they think people where before quirks became a thing? There were heroes back then to, ones who put themselves in even more danger then most of the so-called heroes did now, and for a lot more honest and sincere reason then several of the Heroes Harry had seen so far did; in the name of being a true Hero.
So why does everyone seem to think you need a quirk to have a heart of a hero? Why does everyone seem to rely so strongly on a power that could fail them at the worst time, or even possible be taken from them. And not think of having a back up? Why was the name Hero thrown around so much now, along with the title Villain? Did they really think everything was so black and white now and didn't think to try to see past the surface of thing?
More importantly, why did so many of the people in this world have to remind him so strongly of the wizarding world he had left behind. Hell, it was so similar Harry could almost hear his brother being called a Squib.
At least, unlike most families in the wizarding world, he didn't have to worry about Inko abandoning or kicking Izuku out of their family just because he didn't have a quirk; unlike the squibs Harry knew about.
And don't get Harry started on how the schools, or worse their classmates, were when they heard about Izuku's dream to be a hero. Which because Inko didn't know Harry true age, nor did Harry, it was assumed he was a little older the Izuku himself was and placed in the same class as his brother was.
Which gave Harry ample time to see, and hear, how others treated his brother when it came out, he could be quirkless. It often left him enraged, to put it lightly and his so-called classmates, as well as the teachers there, learned really quickly to not do it in front of him.
In fact, a lot of people learned the rather small limit Harry had when it came to anyone bullying Izuku; or insulting his brother's dream. Even if said brother often did stop Harry from doing much about it with those sad green eyes of his. Because Harry may be a kitsune, but Izuku had the kicked puppy look down pat and had Harry wrapped around his finger because of it.
But at the same time, even if he did do his best to protect his brothers from the bullies the school let run rapid. That didn't help Harry when it came to how he could help his brother, as more often than not they went behind Harry's back to continue to tease Izuku. Especially the one his bother called his so-called best friend Kaachan; one Katsuki Bakugo.
Whom Harry always thought that with friends like him you really didn't need enemies. But Izuku didn't seem to agree and since Harry really had no friends of his own, nor did he want any considering what his so-called best friends had done to him. Harry found that he really couldn't say much about Izuku's choice of friends.
Besides, at least from he could see, Izuku's Kaachan was still a better friend to him then Harry's had been in the end; at least those that had actually lived through the war they had been in that is. As at least he wasn't trying to kill, imprison or completely destroy Izuku; hell so all he had done was threaten to use his quirk on Harry. Which caused a bucket of water to just 'happen' to upend on him.
But on the other hand, while there wasn't a whole lot Harry could do with the bullying that went on behind his back. There was one thing he could do that would make it better for Izuku; at least in the long run. He could help his brother make sure his dream come true.
Not to mention it would give both him and his brother something to bond over. While at the same time giving his brother something, he could use to protect himself from anyone who may attack him. And, hopefully at the same time, boost Izuku's self-confidence up as well; because Harry knew he needed it.
After all Harry did remember in his old world there had been comic and books about heroes who didn't have their own special power to help them fight against the enemies. Comic which he had often heard his cousin brag about and scream about how cool they were.
Not to mention comics Harry himself had read a little himself; after his cousin had discarded them. So, he knew it was possible. Especially when you consider the everyday heroes he had heard about in the news from his old world. From army men, to police officers, to fire fighters; all of which didn't have a single thing similar to a quirk in his old world. And all of which had been what the world could call true heroes.
And not only that but Harry was sure that there were other heroes in this world that didn't have fighting capable quirks; like fire or explosions. But were heroes none the less, only ones who used hand to hand or something similar to that to be the hero the people needed. Hero's that used the quirks they had as a tool instead of something used as a decide all dependent items like most quirk related heroes seemed to do.
Something that Harry found to be proven true when he found out about the underground hero Eraserhead. Who Harry, and Izuku for that matter, both found out used his quirk like a tool, nothing more. Who made it so his quirk wasn't the only thing he depended on when it came to fighting as he had trained both his mind and his body to become the hero he was.
Not to mention despite being an underground hero, and thus had little known about him, Eraserhead seemed to be one of the more powerful heroes that were out there. In fact, to Harry, he seemed to be even stronger than most of the more commonly known heroes as unlike the majority of the heroes out there he wasn't doing it for the fame or the money but because it was the right thing to do. Which was something both Harry and Izuku highly respected about the hero in question.
Not only that, but because this hero did the majority of his fighting quirkless, using certain tools in his fight, in Harry's mind this meant that it showed that there was a way for his brother to be the hero he wanted to be. And even if Harry wasn't sure that he himself wanted to be a hero, he was going to be at his brother's side there helping him succeed in his dream; as he couldn't think of anything else he wanted to do but that.
Besides it wasn't like he had any other plans with his life, and it wasn't completely necessary that with so many heroes out there that he would be a necessary or noticed as he had been in the wizarding world; as he wasn't the only one everyone was counting on in this world. But just one small part of a whole lot of different protectors; which was something could get along with doing.
So, with that in mind, and with the information he had gained Harry, with his determination to help his brother, had been able to convenes both his mother Inko and his brother Izuku that it was possible for Izuku to follow his dreams. Something that was further helped with the fact that Harry swore that he would be right there beside his brother to help him with said dreams.
However, even if Harry did want to help Izuku, and didn't want to discourage his brother in any way. Knew that he still had let him know that his dreams would be a lot more difficult than it would be from others who had quirks. That he would have to work at the very least twice as hard as everyone else to get the same results.
Both because he didn't have the same tools that those with quirks had; at least not yet he hadn't. And that there would be a lot of prejudice working against him because he didn't have a quirk at all; let along the flashier ones most heroes seemed to favor.
But this was something that, to bother Harry's joy and disbelieve, only seemed to drive Izuku's determination all that much higher. Especially now that he had someone who believed in him. Someone who was willing to fight right alongside him to help him reach the dream he wanted to achieve.
Not to mention someone who had made both of their mother see that Izuku didn't need an actual quirk to be a hero. Something that had gotten Inko crying a bit as she apologized to her son, Izuku, for not believing him in the first place. And swearing to support him in his dream, even if she was worried about him and what could happen to him. But as Inko had rightly informed both of them, she was their mother and being worried about them was part of her job.
Something that had both Harry and Izuku blushing bright red, promising that they wouldn't give her too much to worry about. As the two of them threw their selves into the training Harry had planned; all that much harder. Pushing each other to their limits and steadily improving each and every day they continued their training
Which was why, despite how exhausting it had been, Izuku hadn't complained in the least bit when after six months of staying with them Harry had gotten Inko to sign both him and Izuku up for both gymnastics and Capoeira.
While in their free time the both of the use free running and parkour, to get around the town. As a way to further the skills in what they were currently learning; while learning the best ways to speedily get from one place to another.
Not only that but Harry had started to get Izuku to use that massive intelligence he has to think of different gadgets he could eventually make to make up for the lack of quirk he had. Not to mention going over all the information Izuku had already gotten together when it came to other's quirks strength, weaknesses, and ways around them.
Seeing as unlike the majority of their classmates Harry could so see how Izuku's skills in analyzing quirks would be a massive help to his brother. Especially when it came to becoming the best hero he could. Hell, Harry could see that with Izuku's drive and massive intelligence the others were lucky they hadn't driven his brother into something like villainy as if that had happened Harry could very easily see things going to hell very quickly.
Now nearly a year and a half after they had started all of this Harry could say that they were both starting to show some serious results from all of their training. Enough so that Harry could see that Izuku's confidents was growing enough that the insults that the other children in his class didn't bother him any longer.
If anything, these insults washed of his brother's back like a duck's in water. Not only that, but now that his brother keep pushing himself like he was Harry could sense the energy in Izuku was closer to coming out more than ever had been before.
Leaving Harry to believe that the whole reason Izuku's quirk didn't come out before was because his body back then hadn't been strong enough for it; at least not without some serious risks to it. But with the training Harry was helping him go through, his body was starting to become strong enough for the quirk in question to start to show. Something that Harry hoped would hopefully come soon, as if any deserved a quirk to be a Hero Izuku would be the one at the top of Harry's list.
This feeling, and what he hoped was a fact, was something Harry was happy as well as excited about. Both to see just what was going to come from his brother, and because despite working as hard as he was Izuku still wanted to have a quirk of his very own. Even if he now believed he didn't necessary need one to be a Hero.
But until this quirk did decide to show itself, then Harry was going to continue to work beside his brother; continue pushing both himself and his brother as far as they could go. So that Izuku could be a hero that the world would look up to, one that would save the world with a smile; just as his brother wanted to become. And perhaps while doing so, Izuku could renewal Harry's believe in being a Hero once more.
