Izuku of「THE WORLD」

by IgnaG-P

We all know the story. The story about a poor powerless quirkless boy, that was bullied, who had his dreams crushed, and that overcame all of that to become the number 1 hero. However, this is not that story. This is the story about a quirkless boy, that was bullied, had his dreams crushed and then, rearranged them into something new. But I didn't say that boy was powerless, did I?

5. Chapter 5

Chapter 5:

Villains pub:

A lot had happened since Izuku's last confrontation with Kachan.

To be exact, 4 days. And in those 4 days, many things changed.

The first thing was when he came home with Tomura, fleeing the fight, her mother saw the two of them, breaking into the house. She went to check on the boys, and when Tomura told her about the whole fight, a flame lit on her eyes.

It was the flame of somebody who was going to kill somebody and knew how to hide a ficking corpse.

Of course, she stayed some minutes calming the boys, then, she went to her room, taking the phone, and she only said one thing. "Izuku dear, tomorrow you're sick, so you're not going to school. Actually, you're not going for the whole week. You're staying here to rest"

At first, Izuku was really confused. He obviously wasn't sick: he didn't have a fever, nor a cold. But then a smirk on Tomura's face pointed him where all of this was going. Katsuki couldn't hurt him in his own house. Shigaraki really started admiring the woman, for her bright moves. 'Of course, that's only a temporal solution', thought Tomura, ' then again if she left for her room she's probably planning what she's gonna do next'.

Izuku kind of started understanding why she let him skip school, but was more concerned about what he could do. Mom wouldn't let him stay home by himself, and she had to work. Then, an idea came to his mind.

-"Hey Tomura," said the green haired kid," while I'm 'sick', why don't I stay with you and Kurogiri?"

Tomura had already considered the possibility, and knew perfectly that Kuro would allow Izuku to stay at the bar.

So now, four days later, that's where they were, the three of them, playing poker. In the days Izuku had been with them, a game of poker after lunch had become a tradition.

Right now, Kurogiri was winning: it was incredibly hard guessing if the man was bluffing or not, because he didn't actually had a face. Tomura, however, had to know a trick or something because he knew whether or not the mist was bluffing. In this round, Kurogiri had already withdrawn. Tomura and Izuku, were on the river round, and the 5 common cards were already shown. Tomura had three 10, while Izuku had a straight. Tomura went full in, trying to deceive the boy: he hadn't bet anything big yet, so if he did, he surely had to have a winning hand.

However, Izuku read further that what Tomura's poker face let see: his pinky finger was shaking.

One of the disadvantages of Tomura's quirk was that he couldn't hold the cards with his hand completely, so his pinky was in the air the whole time. And when lying, he would tense his hand, hence shaking his free finger.

-"All right then", said Izuku, a smirk on his face," then I'm going full in too"

And it was at this moment that Shigaraki knew, he fucked up.

Izuku took the whole pot for him, leaving Tomura out of the game and Kurogiri laughing like a madman.

-"Anyways", said the bartender wiping away some tears, " Your mom must be about coming so put your shoes on"

Izuku obeyed, as he did always. Kurogiri was a very kind person, so the least he could do was to follow his orders immediately.

However, while Izuku was looking for his shoes, Sensei appeared. He did that sometimes, teleporting into the bar, to communicate something to Kurogiri, and then leaving

. One day, Tomura and Izuku convinced him to play poker with them. The black haired man agreed, and was very pleased to see what good liars were his apprentice and his friend. Of course, he could use his mind reading quirk, but still, it was admirable how well could two kids lie so well at this age.

However, this time he did not appear to play poker, but to run some tests on Izuku. Kurogiri had been working on a brain signal reader all week, and it was finally ready to work. With that, All for One could finally understand just how this almighty power worked.

-"Hello kids", he said in his cold but familiar voice," I was wondering if you could help me in some of my experiments. This one is about you Izuku"

-"Yeah, sure thing Sensei", said Tomura excited. His sensei didn't usually ask for help, so when he did, he was more that euforic to help him out

-"Of course Sensei", said Izuku, bowing his head a little unconsciously, but smiling at the same time

-"Very well then," said All for One," Kurogiri, would you be so kind?"

And with that, the four of them warped to the Nomu's warehouse.

Aladera school, an hour earlier

Inko Midoriya was a calm woman.

She raised her baby boy alone in the most caring way. She always greeted people at work, or at the grocery store. She even donated part of the little salary she had to NGOs.

Granted, there were things that irritated her, like that that fucking bastard Hizashi, abandoning his fucking son.

But overall, she was a kind, calm woman.

So it was a little new for the principal of the school to see the woman burst into his office, saying with the utmost controlled rage:

"I want an immediate transfer of my son Izuku to another school"

I said a calm woman, not someone who didn't know hoy to use her anger and intimidate people.

"Mrs. Midoriya, while your presence is always a pleasure, it is impossible for me to talk to you now. Perhaps we can arrange a…"

Inko Midoriya glared at the man. 'How the fuck can a woman so gentle be so fucking scary?'

Ignoring everything the principal just said, Inko sat right in front of the man, pulled some documents and leaned over to impose her figure over the man.

"I have already every document at my disposal to take my son out of this pitiful excuse for a school, that is supposed to educate children. Also, I have already contacted other schools to make sure they have room for another kid. By law,"(it would be a good moment to mention that Inko Midoriya was the top student at her Law school) " I must be able to guarantee the education of my son at all moments, that's why I took the liberty of filling applications for other schools."

"But miss, your son can't…", said the principal

"Yes, yes I know" interrupted Midoriya, already knowing the man would bring up some formality of the transfer, as any scared bureaucrat would," transfers can only be made at the end of the semester, and that it stated one month ago. However, I can take my son out of this school, as long as he passes the exams imposed by the government"

"You can't do that", muttered the man, with all the courage he had left.

"He will be homeschooled, and I am afraid you have no say in this, since it's all completely legal. Every obstacle you make will be interpreted as an attempt to sabotage my son's education, and will be taken to Court. Now, if you would, please sign here, here and…"

Nomu warehouse:

Izuku was already a little tired from his tests with Sensei.

He had put him some kind of metallic crown that made noises and was asked him to stop time several times. The good thing is that he discovered that his limit was now at 6 seconds: a small improvement, but still an improvement.

After some tries, Sensei went with Kurogiri inside a room where a lot of machines with lectures were stored. Izuku didn't understand them, even though he knew they had to be about his powers and the tests.

So, instead of trying to decipher what those lectures were, he left that work to the professionals and went to play with Tomura. He had brought the cards, so they could play while the adults did their thing.

-"Hey Tomura," said Izuku, putting the cards out of his pocket," you mind some poker".

-"Ok, but I'm distributing the cards", said the blue haired kid, taking the cards of the other boy's hand.

Normally, Shigaraki wouldn't care about who distributed, but one time Izuku used his power to see the cards each one had while distributing, so he didn't want that experience again, not only because he lost, but because Izuku didn't stop playing with his head during that game. A truly terrifying experience indeed.

Shigaraki started handing the cards to Izuku, and then an idea popped out of his head

-"Hey Izu, wasn't your birthday tomorrow?"

-"It's true!", said Izuku, honestly surprised. With so much going on lately, he had forgot about his birthday completely

-"What do you want to do? We could go somewhere. I think I would be able to convince Kuro to seep us in the amusement park without having to pay…"

-"Honestly, I had thought of going to the Hero museum. They have cool costumes and support equipment", Tomura frowned, something to what Izuku quickly responded " but that's only an option, if you don't want to, it isn't something necessary, we could go to the park you just…"

-"Nah, Izu, if you really want to go, I'll go with you. Even if it will bug me seeing All Might's face plastered everywhere, I'm sure it will be fun"

At that moment, Izuku was as happy as he ever had been. Even if Tomura loathed heroes, he would go with him, just to make him happy. Izuku could never be grateful enough.

Sensei had also heard this conversation, with his Enhanced senses and Multitasking quirks. His apprentice was becoming closer to the boy, perhaps at a dangerous pace, if he was going to abandon his road of hatred towards the heroes for him.

He would take a part in all of this.

He approved of Tomura going to the hero museum, but he would have to starts in drawing Midoriya to his side, to transform him into a puppet. Well, now that he actually knew the child, he knew that was not longer an option. The kid was too bright to be completely manipulated, but his beliefs could be influenced. And that was what he was going to do.

As for now, he was intrigued by the lectures of the kid's brain. While the machine couldn't register any reading in time stop, it could do it an instant before and after that. And, as with every scientific research, All for One was left with Kurogiri theorising what was happening in between those lectures and what did they mean.

The moment before the stop was completely normal, as expected, but the interesting part was an instant after the time stop. There was literally nothing. Then seconds later, readings of activity so high, it shouldn't be possible.

They had deduced that this blank lecture was a value so high, it couldn't be registered. Now, assuming that was how his brain was in Izuku's "WORLD", as they called it, he needed to interpret what they meant.

Kurogiri, however, informed him that Inko was 5 minutes away, so that he and the kids, were heading to the bar.

Well, he could always continue his research later, it was always more productive with Kurogiri.

He to warped to the bar, after saving his work and storing his pre-quirk era's research books in the drawer.

'An arrow, mhh?'

Villains pub:

Midoriya had just finished putting all his things in his backpack and was currently talking with Tomura and Kurogiri about his birthday, and that he wanted to go to the Hero Museum. Kurogiri, being the overprotective parent he was, didn't know if it was okay for Tomura to go to a place that reminded him constantly his hate for heroes. Knowing Tomura, after 5 minutes of being there he would have already disintegrated some dead hero's costume.

"Do not worry, Kurogiri" said Sensei appearing behind him " I am sure it will be fine".

"Master, the problem is I cannot be the one accompanying the children", pointed out the mist, " because of my appearance. I already have a criminal record, and it is very easy to recognize me. And in all honesty, I do not trust Inko Midoriya will be able to keep Tomura from destroying things"

"Mhh… That shouldn't be a problem if I am the one going with them", said All for One, seeing a gold opportunity to bring Midoriya to his side.

"But Sensei," panicked Kurogiri," you are the most notorious villain in all history. You will be immediately recognized!"

"Kurogiri", chuckled the mastermind," one does not become the lord of the underworld without a shapeshifting quirk or two. You mustn't worry."

The mist just accepted that, and went to resume his duties as a barman, cleaning the shit out of every glass he saw. Sensei was left watching over the children, who were now drawing something on a notebook.

Said notebook intrigued him. It had drawings of heroes with their names, but it also had some characteristics of said heroes written (in crayon, which made it hilarious). Upon further inspection, Sensei saw these characteristics were very detailed, and even had some weaknesses of the heroes. If this was Midoriya's doing, he needed to exploit that. It could be the beginning of a terrifying analytical ability. It reminded him of the files he made in the past, just when quirks erupted, about people with powers that could interest him. How they worked and their weaknesses. It was funny seeing how Midoriya was similar to the younger him.

The bell then rang, and Inko Midoriya entered the pub, as it was never closed (she only rang as a mark to politeness). She was already familiarised with it, and while she didn't completely like her son being in a place like that, she understood that it was where Tomura and Kurogiri lived, and that she couldn't do much about it. Plus, Kurogiri was a very responsible man, so she wasn't worried her almost 5 years old son would chug a whole bottle of whisky.

She went to the living room, where the children usually played, and saw them with a man watching over them. She stopped in her tracks upon seeing him. His imposing yet beautiful figure. The way it seemed like gravity itself was pulling everything to his grasp. His beautiful grey void eyes.

She felt many things: fear, admiration, respect… Before she could muster a single word, the man stood and greeted her:

"Ah", said the man, "you must be Midoriya's mother, Inko. I've heard wonders about you"

"Thank you", said the woman, doing her best not to stutter," You must be the 'Sensei' Izuku and Tomura talk about. They think very highly of you".

"I am pleased to hear that". After saying that, Izuku went to hug his mother, and Tomura stood by Sensei's side.

"Izuku dear", said Inko," I actually wanted to tell you something" The kid looked up to his mother intrigued " After the incident you had with Bakugou, I'm transferring you to another school. I have already some schools in mind, but I want to look at them together"

"Izu, you won't have to see that bastard anymore!" exclaimed joyfully Tomura. Midoriya just nodded at that. While it's true that Katsuki hurt him at a any chance he had, it still was hard to stop seeing what had been his first friend. 'Though that can hardly be called a friend', thought Izuku.

"The only problem" continued the mother, "is that you can't go to this new school until the trimester ends, which means you will stay at home. I have to work, but i think I'll be able to educate you anyway. You just have to pass some exams, so it won't be really hard"

All for One analyzed the situation, and had to repress a chuckle. It was as if destiny just handed him that child.

"Mrs. Midoriya, I believe I can help you in that matter"

"How so?" Asked Inko.

"As I think you are aware, I am young Tomura's Sensei", explained the man, "I am responsible for his education, as he doesn't go to school for personal reasons. I believe I could also educate your son in the meantime."

"Oh, that would be wonderful. I can't be grateful enough", thanked Inko. Of course, she had planed all of it. She knew Sensei was a teacher, so by presenting him this situation, he was almost sure he would take his son under his wing. Inko Midoriya was many things, but stupid and unprepared weren't adjectives on that list.

"It would be my pleasure. I am excited to work with such a wonderful mind as Izuku's" With that, All for One had just the perfect opportunity to turn Izuku into one of the most powerful assets he would ever have. He already planned of making Tomura his successor, and if he had an ally that could stop time, he was sure, the two of them would take over the world.

"Mom", said Izuku" can we go tomorrow to the Hero museum for my birthday? Sensei said he could take us there since you're working, and teach us many things!"

"Of course dear. I trust Sensei will teach you many things!" And dear god he was going to do it. All for One was making sure Izuku discovered the many obscure secrets of this hero society.

A/N:

So..

I'm alive

First things first. I'm sorry for just leaving the story like that, just without notice. On hiatus for I think it was a year. I had so many things to do, high school, conservatory( I'm graduating this year) that I just couldn't bring myself to do anything. Not just this fanfic, actually not being able to do anything with enthusiasm. So I guess I left the story like that, under the carpet, not knowing what to do with it.

This school year started as shit, imma be honest. The stress was the same, the workload bigger, and honestly I'm glad I'm able to get 6 hours of sleep some nights. But even if the situation is worse, I just feel more… motivated? I dunno. It's also true that last year I kinda not had the best friends (actually, they're just assholes by now), but now I have made new ones, that actually share my interests and do not ridicule me to look cool . And I think that's why I feel more motivated.

So I'm sorry I didn't at least told you anything about the story.

Anyways, let's talk about business.

I'm not sure how I will do for the update schedule. I honestly have no idea. I wrote this chapter in 2 days, with the notes I had from a year ago and a few ideas I had, but i don't know at what pace I will write other chapters.

It is also true that I'm unable to sleep sometimes, so that's time I'll try to dedicate to writing.

Also, I plan on doing some time skips. The next chapter will feature Tomura and Izuku as they are now in the story, but the chapter after that, i plan making Izuku being at least 11 years old. He will meet a special someone that will be appearing recurrently in the story. The chapter after that he will be experimenting with his quirk and making his personality a little more like Dio. He will not be as arrogant, and he will be passionate by heroics, but he will inherit All for One and his mother's talent for manipulation. He will also be an angry boi. Just a little. He will be involved in the sludge incident, just a little different to how it usually goes.

Then, UA entrance exams. I have some ideas that can really be cool. And after that, it will follow the canon.

So anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please, if you have any suggestion, type it on the comments.
