With last chapter's close call Izuku finally unlocked the next stage of his quirk! Honestly, this should have become a thing a while ago but I wasn't sure if the OFA quirk awakening was caused by the user's strength, the % of OFA that Izuku can use, or if it's related to a specific emotion. Oh well, better late than never.

Onto the story!

"So. Losing a foot to win a fight wasn't my smartest move." I muttered while dragging my broken body across the wasteland" Doing it several miles away from civilization was an additional blunder. Forgetting that I had to carry an unconscious All Might, who wasn't as thin as he used to be the whole way was yet another one.

"I've had a severe, continuous lapse in judgement." Aaand the side effects of using my blessings were kicking in. Each movement across the ground felt like sandpaper touching raw flesh, my bones felt like lead, and the two adventurers that were filming everything were either out of mana, or were not nearly strong enough to lift both myself and All Might.

"At least the fight was awesome. Hopefully these magic items that you gave us were able to keep up with your ridiculous speed. I know I couldn't!" Dust, who had stayed on the ground commented, he was helping me keep balance on my one leg but not much else, the combined weight of myself, my armor, and All Might made it impossible for him to carry the burden.

"I'm just glad that we decided to step back a good deal before you two started. Those punches sent out shockwaves for several kilometers! What kind of magic was that by the way?" Lean, the wizard in Dust's party who bared a stunning resemblance to Kazuma asked.

"It's a genetic ability that we both have. It amplifies the user's physical power among other things." I explained to the best of my ability, not mentioning that it can be passed down of course. Though I had no idea whether that was possible with humans from this world, or the one Kazuma came from.

"Genetic? Does that mean that All Might-sama is your father Izuku-sama?!" Lean asked, nearly tripping over himself. Dust was equally surprised and waiting for an answer.

"No, or at least we aren't related by blood." Hey if Kazuma is gonna be my surrogate brother then All Might could be my dad. He already acts like one. "Our situation is a bit unique. And I thought I asked you two to just call me Izuku? The same goes for All Might, neither of us are very big on formality." Especially not from some of Kazuma's friends, it feels weird to be called that by people I actually knew.

"I get what you mean man. Pretentious titles and stuffy high society crap loses it's glamour pretty quick doesn't it?" Dust commented, sounding as if he spoke from experience. We spent the rest of the walk back to the city swapping stories, Kazuma's made some good friends. They even distracted me enough that I didn't notice myself passing out from the blood loss!

Izuku Dreamscape

'Why do I feel sand?' Was my first thought after regaining consciousness. Though I didn't get to question things further before someone spoke right in front of me.

"Ah, you're finally awake" A voice spoke, the accent was familiar.

"Somebody already used that bit." I mumbled as I opened my eyes to see a rather large, bald man that had a passing resemblance to a certain demonic super hero from pre-quirk comics.

"Damn, thought I was being clever. Though it's good to see that old gem of a meme survived for generations to come. Sup kid, if you haven't figured it out yet I'm a former wielder of OFA, the 2nd one specifically. And that technique you used back there was my own quirk Black Whip!" ...Ok. My eyes widened a little but this isn't even close to the weirdest thing that happened to me.

"Huh, I woulda thought you'd have a stronger reaction than that." He deflated a bit at my nonchalance. I just waved him off while muttering that it wasn't my first time dealing with ghosts. Or at least I tried to anyway but my hand refused to move. Mostly because it wasn't there anymore.

"...Ok I could have sworn that it was my foot that I lost in that fight, not my hands." Speaking of feet, I had both of them in this weird dream like world I found myself in. From what I could see a good quarter of my body was just gone, balck wisps escaping from where they were supposed to be.

"You haven't fully mastered OFA yet. Though seeing such progress in a youngin like you is pretty surprising. I'd guess you could access 60% of it, maybe 70% before you injure yourself? Not bad for a couple years of training." That sounds about right, though I owe most of that progress to my new world's bullshit game physics.

"You said that I used your quirk. Does that mean.." I left the obvious question unanswered, the previous user gained a contemplative look.

"Honestly I have no idea. This has never happened before but I think we both know what this implies. Congrats kid, you'll be gaining a few new quirks in the coming years!" That and the ability to meet the previous users. Wait a second.

"Are the quirks going to come in chronological order? The first user was effectively quirkless, which makes sense why he was skipped. And you're the second, unless there's some other factor that I'm not aware of?" I entered into a mutter filled trance once again, old habits die hard I guess.

"Quiet!" I shut up. "Yeesh kid, you sure can run your mouth. As for your question, I'm not sure. Like I said this has never happened before. You might be right and it's chronological. Or maybe each quirk will appear under specific circumstances, I don't know. You'll just have to see." I guess that was fair, this would be asking too much to have all the answers given to me.

"What I do know is that I don't have much time left. You'll be waking up soon so pay attention! My quirk works off emotion, if you have them under control then you should be able to use it just fine. But be careful! One for All would have heightened its power far beyond its original strength, so try not to use it on people unless they want to be crushed under the iron grip!" With that final warning the user's body faded away, my own vision was consumed by a white light as I started to wake up.

Guildhall

*Splash "Guh! Pft! WHY?!" I yelled after getting ice cold water dumped on me. The obvious culprit whistling and looking away from me while the rest of my party was making sure I was ok. "Did you have to use the ice water method Aqua-chan?" I glared at her, but it had no heat in it.

"Hikineet told me to do it!" Aqua quickly shifted the blame to the boy who was trying to hide his chuckles.

"Damn it you useless goddess! Don't throw me under the bus just because you were too stupid to hide the bucket!" Kazuma knew when he's been caught and admitted to it, but not before making sure Aqua went down with him.

"*Sigh, not important, I'll deal with you two later. Where's All Might?" I asked, apparently he was still unconscious from the fight. I must have hit him harder than I thought but the good news was that all his injuries were healed, he was just tired.

"Speaking of the fight, what the hell was that black energy that you used at the end? Have you been holding out on us aniki?!" Kazuma questioned, partially due to his own curiosity but mostly to make me forget about the ice water. Nice try but no, payback will come.

"Apparently it's another quirk. I'll be getting five more of those in a bit. As for the one I used against All Might all I know is that it's called Black Whip. A...Well. Black whip of energy that has enough power to crush stone from what I could tell."

*Slam! That was Darkness, she passed out after my explanation with a bleeding nose and an atomic blush on her face. Eris burst out in laughter immediately after while the rest of the guild just sweatdropped at their strongest party's strange antics.

"I probably should have seen that coming.." I muttered, Darkness is going to keep bugging me until I use it on her isn't she.. I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around I saw that it was Iris. She looked happy and.. Relieved? Did something happen.

"I need to speak to you in private Izuku-kun. Please follow me." She said in Japanese. This must be really important if she's going this far to keep what she wants to say a secret. I follow her as we head back to the mansion for some privacy, the others stayed behind to enjoy the rest of the festival and to look after All Might until he wakes up.

Team Green Mansion

"I'm not sure how to sugar coat this so I'll just go ahead and say it. Izuku-kun you just saved me from an arranged marriage and Belzerg in general, name your reward and I'll give it to you!" Iris bowed to me with a serious expression, though I could only think of one response appropriate for this situation.

"Nani?"

"*sigh. Sorry I should probably explain. You see it all started when our neighboring nations stopped supporting Belzerg financially-" Iris went on to explain the details behind Belzerg's current economic troubles due to the war and the recent cut to their funds.

Apparently Belzerg was going nearly bankrupt before I came to this world. It got so bad that the king was even contemplating an arranged marriage between Iris and a neighboring country's prince in exchange for monetary support.

Luckily the policies we've adopted in Axel along with the proliferation of some of or easily replicated technology managed to give the country a considerable boost. For one Belzerg could now feed it's population at a fraction of the cost and land area that was previously needed.

That and the adventurer's guild had adopted many of our policies as well, leading to an increase in production and a decrease to security costs which have been redistributed to other necessities. Of course out systematic elimination of the enemy generals probably had something to do with the wars' falling costs.

And then there was the festival.. Did it even need to be said? The tourism revenue alone already won Belzerg a chunk of change, and that was before they had several world famous heroes in their borders. In Axel the festival pretty much acted as one big advertising campaign for the city and it's new wares. The fight between All Might and myself was just icing on the cake.

To sum it all up. Our party effectively dragged Belzerg out of an economic recession and into an economic boom the likes of which has never been seen in this world. Which would explain why Iris was acting the way she was.

"I-I think I understand. At least a little. I'm not going to lie, large scale economics and politics isn't my strong suit, it's hard enough partially ruling over a city!" I exclaimed, trying to put some levity into the situation. Honestly it was still hard to believe that my life has ended up like this.

"But I can only imagine how much stress you must have been in with things like that going on. Just know that I don't need anything in return. If I had known about it from the start then I would have helped you anyway, you don't owe me any-" I was cut off by Iris pushing herself into me, giving me a tight hug. I was caught off guard at first but returned it. Poor Iris must have been worried half to death over this..

Slowly she went limp as time passed. Her emotional state exhausting her. I picked her up in a bridal style carry and moved her to her room. I was about to leave but Iris' hand gripped me tightly, I looked down to see her eyes telling me to stay with her.

'Kazuma is never going to let me hear the end of this. Neither will Eris now that I think about it...Whatever I'll deal with that in the morning.' For now I'll just enjoy the fact that I'm sleeping with an actual princess, granted not in the way that most thought about. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day so we should get all the rest we should get.

This took me way longer than it should have to finish. Sorry about that but night shifts are a bitch. Anyway if you noticed the double upload notification don't worry that's just me editing another page. Anyway, hope you all enjoy the chapter, have a great day!
