I'm gonna make this one quicker than I did the last one. So hopefully, you guys don't wait too long.
Izuku is, in fact, not All Might's love child. The similarities in quirks will be explained. This is to all Todoroki conspiracy theorists.
A small teaser to the Kamino Ward will reveal the entire reason for Izuku's sudden Quirk Evolution.
And I came up with this ingenious plan that I will explain...soon.
Plans:
U.A. Exam: Locked
USJ Attack: Locked
U.A. Sports Festival: Locked
Internship: Locked
Summer Camp: Locked
Kamino Ward: Locked
Disclaimer: I do not own My Hero Academia.
"WHAT!" A scream was heard outside of the infirmary followed by a yelp of pain. Izuku falls out of bed startled.
"Was that All Might?" Izuku questions toward no one.
Outside
"What did I tell you?! No shouting!" Toshinori groaned with a lump growing on his head. Recovery Girl sighed for the tenth time that day. 'These blockheads are going to be the death of me.' The gaunt man quit rubbing his head and regained a serious look.
"What do you mean his quirk is like One for All?" The blonde spoke with a concerned tone.
"I mean his body is storing up power. I don't know for sure about the transferring aspect, but his body is beginning to conserve energy. However, there is a slight difference in the properties of his storing capabilities. Your quirk stores the power you cultivate while his quirk converts and stores energy into his body." From the look on the powered down hero's face, she had lost him along the way causing her to groan slightly. "This means kinetic, thermal, sound, etc. If it's the energy, he can store it. This seems to be passive, but any active effects are unknown. It seems that the transformation was a way for the quirk to ready the body for this new feature."
Toshinori covered his eyes and sighed in exasperation. "That's a bit overpowered. He could probably go on forever if that's the case." Recovery Girl only shook her head.
"On the contrary, this puts him at a disadvantage when he has to go into "recharge mode". If he were to deplete his current capacity to near zero, he would be in danger of shutting down and being unable to perform even menial tasks. Also, as I said, his storing is passive at the moment. His quirk just assimilated this aspect, so it's storing rates are significantly low. Further tests would be needed in the future to learn all or at least most of the details." Recovery Girl and Toshinori stayed in silence for a few moments before starting up again.
"How will this affect me giving him my quirk?"
"It would probably break him. His body can now store outside energy. If all the energy would go to the quirk, everything would be nice and dandy, but the quirk seems to have a failsafe to keep from overloading and hurting the user every they use the quirk by converting the energy into the body. Some of the energy provided by your quirk could be converted and stored into his body running the risk of overloading him. Imagine a small rubber balloon suddenly taking in gallons upon gallons of waters before exploding, and you get the picture." The hero flinched at this thought. "I would suggest exploring this storing mechanic and increase his limits before giving it to him." Toshinori looked towards the infirmary and could only think.
'What the heck did I get myself into?'
In the Infirmary
Recovery Girl and Toshinori reentered and sat down. Recovery Girl explained the gist what she told All Might except for the part concerning All Might's quirk. He had warned her in advance that he had not told them greenette yet.
Izuku could be seen visibly brightening up. I mean literally getting brighter by the second. The two adults thought they were seeing things until they turned and saw their shadows against the wall. Both sweatdropped and thought 'what a weird quirk'.
"W-Wow! Does that mean I can get as strong as All Might! I mean it would still take a really long time to get there from how slow my quirk stores, but it could be possible to grow the capacity through training. Not to mention-" Izuku then started to mumble with increasing intensity while bringing out of nowhere a notebook. The injured hero sighed before speaking to Recovery Girl.
"I apologize for Midoriya's habit. He always gets like this when it comes to quirks." Recovery Girl chuckled and raised an eyebrow.
"You must have known about him for a while now huh."
"I only met him yesterday." Silence.
"..."
"..."
"Well let us be off then. Thank you for your help Recovery Girl!" Toshinori waved as he walked off dragging Izuku by his collar while the middle schooler was STILL muttering.
Recovery Girl just shook her head. "Those knuckleheads are gonna cause me so many headaches."
Oh if only she knew.
Back at Dagobah Municipal Beach
"Al-Yagi-san, you said this place has something to do with my t-training. W-What did you mean by that?" Midoriya questioned the hero. All Might turns towards the sea and the setting sun.
"Nowadays, heroes tend to gravitate towards flashy fights and big crime, but avoid things like community service. Being a hero now feels too similar to a military taskforce. However-" Toshinori approaches a refrigerator and transforms into All Might. He places a hand on the top of the refrigerator and in a show of strength, he crushed the appliance and forced the surrounding debris to scatter. Revealing a clear view of the horizon without any trash. "There are those who go about their day not only defending the people, but also giving back to the community. Doing it not for fame or money, but for the sake of others." Izuku looked at All Might and the scenery he created in absolute awe.
Midoriya walked over and sat down next to the Symbol of Peace. They sat in silence for a few minutes soaking in the sounds of the waves crashing.
"I know something is bothering you, Young Midoriya. It's better to speak about it than to hold it in." Midoriya looked down for a moment with his hair shadowing his eyes.
"I...I always thought about the moment I would get my quirk. All the things I would feel. All the things I would do. I know I feel stronger and special." He brought his hands up and clenched them. "But I don't feel better! There isn't any satisfaction like I thought there would be. I feel relieved. I feel...I feel-"
"Ordinary?" Midoriya looked at All Might with tears threatening to fall. All Might looks down at the boy with the softest smile he had seen yet. "You thought if you had a quirk that you would be above others. Feel superior. But when you finally got the one thing you wanted for the longest, you felt like everyone else. You felt human. People forget that even with quirks we are still human first."
All Might stood up and extended a hand to help the green-haired boy up to which he accepted quickly. All Might continued while transforming back into his lanky form.
"That's what makes you special Young Midoriya. While others would feel like gods among men with their newfound power, you were humbled by your origins, and I have a feeling that, even if you had known about your quirk before, you would have still turned out just fine." Toshinori's grin had lost no effect despite being in his true form. "That's why I will train you here till the UA exam. By carrying all the trash away, you will be exercising all the muscles needed to complete this task. Anything else will be worked out later. Now, my young apprentice-" The blonde man held up a fist to Midoriya. "Will you take me up on my offer?"
Midoriya looked at the hero's fist and started to think back to all the times he wished someone would be there for him.
"I'm sorry, but you're never gonna get a quirk."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sooorry!"
"Get out of my way Deku! Stop acting like your a hero!"
"I WANNA BE A HERO!"
Midoriya gave a grin comparable to All Might's and returned the fistbump.
"Yeah!"
Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to put the training and U.A. Exam in a single chapter.
The next one will hopefully be much bigger and better than this one. This is basically the emotional filler beginning.
I hope you enjoyed and see you in the next chapter.
MixedMarc out!
