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?

6. Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Hero Museum, in the morning:

Midoriya was as happy as a kid could get.

He was in the hero museum with his best friend and his mentor, and there were so many cool things around. Now that he thought about it, Sensei looked as always, but he said that to strangers he looked like a completely different man. Something about a selective perception quirk or something like that. He was a little intrigued, but he couldn't care at the moment because HOLY COW WAS THAT A GOLDEN AGE ALL MIGHT COSTUME?

"Wow… so cool and shiny…" said Midoriya, almost drooling.

"What is it Midoriya, something got your attention?"asked Sensei, perfectly knowing the answer.

"It's All Might's costume! It's so big…", said Izuku

"Well, as big as he is, his brain is just the size of a nut", responded All for One, jokingly, but knowing that said comment would pick the kid's attention.

"Why do you say that?" asked Midoriya almost pouting. Tomura just watched the whole scene, chuckling internally. He knew perfectly how heroes were and how All Might was. Sensei had shown him who he truly was, how he fought and how he thought, and honestly it was a wonder somebody with so much muscle and so little brain could become the Symbol of Peace.

"Well, you just have to look at what he does", explained Sensei, leading the way away form the costume into the alleyway, " he just throws punches at things and hopes the situation will resolve by itself. He thinks that if he punches something hard enough, every problem will disappear, that there will be this so called 'Peace' he searches ."They arrived to a room where were exhibited the costumes of some other heroes. "Don't you think it's ironic the man that is supposed to represent 'Peace' is the one that hurts people for a living, uncaring of the consequences? Uncaring if his punch will knock a building over and kill some families?"

Izuku just followed him in silent, behind Tomura as well. It is true that what Sensei said made sense: it didn't looked correct that someone would be praised for being violent. But at the end of the day, All Might saved tons of people, right? It is that there could be collateral damage, but even if some people died in the way, the overall score was alright. Wait. Did Izuku think as people's lives as expendable? He shook his head at the thought, and Sensei continued his explanation.

"Heroes, my dear Izuku, heroes are today one of the biggest diseases there is"

Izuku wanted to responded to that, but then Sensei stopped and looked at a suit. Endeavor's suit.

"Tell me Izuku, what do you see here?", asked All for One, looking directly at the Child's soul.

"Endeavor's suit? He's the number 2 hero, right?", responded Izuku, not knowing where Sensei was going with all of this.

"Really? Because all I see is a pile of lies" stated All for One, leaving Izuku completely shocked. "This man that so proudly calls himself the number 2 hero, has a kill count higher than most of the serial killers I've seen. He's killed countless families while fighting villains, and just left it saying it was 'collateral damage'. Sometimes the criminal he was fighting only stole a purse, but it doesn't matter to him. He will appear in the news as the man who saved the day, and the mother and her two children that had been crushed by the debris will never be known about. This," he said extending his arms" is the number 2 hero you adore."

Izuky just stood there, as his whole world collapsed around him. Sure, he knew not everybody could be saved, he was quite mature for his age. But discovering that the hero, no, the man, if he could even call him that, who he respected acted like that just to gain fame. And that he kept all of this a secret from the public, just so he could look like a hero, made him fall to his knees and start crying.

"B-but," asked Izuku, "there are good heroes, right? Some that are good and just, and that don't hurt others, right?"

Upon seeing this, Tomura fell to his side, putting his hand over the shoulder of his friend save for one finger recomforting him. He knew it was hard, but Sensei had to open his eyes.

"Of course Izuku, there are good people in this world, people that truly seek peace."responded Sensei," But sometimes, it is not the people you expect that are true heroes. While the immense majority of heroes do it for the fame and don't care what happen to others, there are still some good ones. Take underground heroes, for example. They don't receive nearly as much credit and fame as other heroes, but their actions are as noble or even more so."

All for One kneeled to Izuku's height, who was still on the ground, and continued explaining.

"Sometimes, it's not even heroes the ones who truly are heroes. Sometimes it's vigilantes, who do what must be done in order to maintain people safe, even if it goes against some regulations. And truly, there is no much difference between a vigilante and a villain, only to what extent they are willing to go to defend what is right and just"

Izuku was slowly stopping to cry, but he replaced the sadness he felt upon discovering how some heroes really are with confusion and self doubt. What Sensei was saying went against everything he knew and everything he believed in. Heroes were good, and villains are bad. What Sense was saying was essentially that heroes are villains and villains are heroes. It just was impossible to grasp that idea. Yet, Izuku, even if he doubted himself and everything he had been taught, that what Sensei was saying made a lot of sense, and even if it sounded wrong, it just felt… right?

"I am sorry I had to tell you that, but it is as thing are. I didn't make society as it is today. All this world of heroes, and villains, shaped to be a popularity contest while people suffer at its expense, has been established not by my hand. I know it is painful. Just imagine", he said chickling dryly", a world where people as Bakugo, that made fun of you and beat you because you were different, will be praised as a hero, a defender of the people, someone that was good incarnate."

At that thought, Izuku was at first terrified. Bakugo, who he thought was his friend and who inflicted so much pain in him, being adored. But soon Izuku discovered it was not only fear he felt. There was also anger. Upon discovering that, Midoriya immediately felt guilty, and started sobbing harder.

Sensei laid a hand on the shoulder Tomura was not rubbing.

"However, while I am not the one that set society as it is today, I want you to help me change it"

At that, Izuku just nodded, tears still in his eyes, his eyes trembling a bit

And Sensei smiled.

Aldera Junior, the same day.

Bakugo was angry.

It's true that the statement could be used at any time, but he was particularly angry today. It's something it had been building up since Thursday. SInce Deku and his friend fucking humiliated him.

Subconsciously, he scratched the scars in his wrists. They didn't hurt anymore, but they still ached. And that made Bakugo's wrath grow .

Not only Deku had called a villain to help him, but the squimp, didn't even have the nerve to show the next day. Or the next. Or today. The coward.

And he didn't see him out of his house either. He either stayed there or got teleporte magically or someshit.

Right now Bakugo was in the classroom. waiting for the teacher to arrive, bored as he didn't have Deku to toy with.

But it was alright. Bakugo had already made sure his return to class would be a warm one. He had told what happened to everybody, exaggerating some things and hiding some others, but what was important at the end of the day is that the whole class was convinced that Deku was a villain. He smirked at the thought. Oh, how much fun he was going to have once the green haired shit came back.

Katsuki had to interrupt his fantasies of torturing that villain when the teacher arrived and asked for everyone's attentions. That baldy jackass of a teacher was annoying and boring, but at least he admired Bakugo for his quirk and his strength, as he would most probably become a hero some day. 'It's always useful to say you were the teacher of the number 1 hero', though Katsuki, full of himself as usual

"As I imagine you're all aware", said the man standing in front of the children," Midoriya hasn't been coming to school lately. I have been informed this morning that he is going to transfer to another school for personal reasons."

As he finished the sentence, Bakugo exploded a pencil, and the whole classroom to see what happened. They only saw an kid with the face of rage itself, looking at his desk.

'That fucking COWARD' thought Katsuki, unbothered by the looks of his peers and teacher, ' That fucking Deku decides to just flee? I'll fucking kill him. I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! '

And he went through his school day, repeating this mantra, building up strength and anger for what was to come.

"Prepare yourself villain", said to Katsuki to himself, with a dry irony in his voice," for I am here".

Villain's pub, evening:

Izuku just finished playing a game of poker with Tomura and Kurogiri, and was currently lying in a couch reading his notes about heroes, while Tomura was playing with the DS. After the visit to the museum, Sensei had transported them back to the pub and left.

Midoriya didn't know how to feel at the moment. He knew Sensei was right in everything he said, but still it was kind of hard just accepting all of that. Tomura noticed the troubled expression on the kid's face. He paused his game and took Izuku's notebook from his hands, forcing him to look at him.

"Izu, are you alright?" asked the blue haired boy.

"Yeah…", started the now 5 years old Izuku", it's just hard to digest everything Sensei said. He is right in many things, about Endeavor, and how vigilantes are basically heroes...But still it's hard suddenly changing your vision of everything".

"You said he's right in many things", said Tomura, " but you mean that there are things where he's not?"

"No! It's just…"responded Izuku apologetically," when he said that villains and vigilantes are the same thing. It was kind of a shock. In the eyes of the law, they are the same, but villains are bad, right?"

"Pff, do you even know what bad, means?"

"Huh?"Izuku was confused to why Tomura asked him that. He didn't even have time to think about an answer when the older kid continued

"Villains are bad because they hurt people" said Tomura mockingly,"Well, guess what. We pay heroes to fucking punch somebody in the face until they surrender. Then people start saying that the difference between vigilantes and villains is that villains kill people. As if heroes didn't kill villains they try to capture, he. Bunch of hypocrites"

"Shigi…"

"But what really PISSES ME OFF, is how people treat villains not as people, but as a piece of entertaining. The bad guy that the hero beats with his incredible quirk. People don't consider that maybe, the guy that was robbing a store has a daughter with who he is living on the streets. There are even villains" said Tomura " who control the villains, the underworld, so everything is more organised and there is less chaos. That's why Sensei said that vigilantes and villains are similar: they both fight to achieve peace.

"But then what about All Might?" asked the green haired boy" He IS the symbol of peace. I don't understand why…"

"That IDIOT isn't but a BUFFON", shouted Tomura" he thinks that just because he exists and outshines every hero there is peace, and that there will never be any problems. IT'S THANKS TO HIM THAT VILLAINS GROW STRONGER. They collaborate with each other to either take him down or evade him. And you know, Izu, that blonde gorilla ain't no God, "He said placing al five of his fingers on Izuku's notebook

"There will be a day when he's just GONE", and with that, Hero analysis for the future no.3 crumbled to dust

Witnessing this and everything Tomura just said, Midoriya fell to the ground and started crying. Shigaraki, realising he might have gone to far, tried to approach him to reconfort him, but then Izuku just slapped his hand away and looked at him, directly into his eyes. Behind all the curtain of water, Tomura could see the rage in Izuku's eyes, wider that he'd ever seen in the boy's face.

Izuku sprinted to the door and got out of the pub. Kurogiri noticed a little to late, as the kid was already in the streets. He was about to open to search for the boy when Tomura got up and started going upstairs.

"Don't go Kurogiri", he said with a hint of regret in his voice" he'll come back"

1 block away from the Midoriya's household, 30 minutes later.

Izuku had been running since he exited the pub. He was just too sad to think about anything. He even forgot he could use THE WORLD to get faster at home. Now , he was just walking, looking at the ground and immersed in his thoughts. He realised that more than sadness, he felt angry. Angry at Tomura for destroying his notes and shouting at him, but also angry at the heroes, for being such hypocrites. For lying, working only for fame and money. He started to understand why Tomura was so mad everytime he said he wanted to be a hero. It was as he would say:"Hey, I want to be a professional scammer when I grow up". It pissed him off. Izuku didn't even know he could build up so much rage

"Well, well, look who finally decided to appear"

Izuku lifted his head to see who it was, only to discover it was Bakugou and 3 of his cronies.

'Huh, happy birthday to me'

"We've really missed you, you know", continued Katsuki," there was no one I could hang out to have a great time you know, beating his ass. And then we learn that you're transferring! So we wanted to make a goodbye party. Everyone gets presents! Now come so you can get yours"

Normally Izuku would feel terrified at the scene. His fr-bully threatening him. But today he was just done with everyone's shit (spending so much time with Tomura really started showing). At the moment, he really wanted an excuse to kick that blonde's ass.

"Don't be a fucking coward, Deku. A future villain like you should come quietly to receive his punishment", said mockingly Bakugou closing slowly the gap between them, trailed by his minions.

"From you, you mighty hero?" asked Izuku, with rage and poison in each and every word. That made all of the bullies to stop in their tracks. Midoriya started walking towards them, with a presence a 5 years old shouldn't be able to have.

"Oh", said Bakugou," you're approaching us? Instead of running away you're approaching us?

"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer", replied Izuku, still walking towards them.

"Well, "chuckled the ashen haired kid, " look who learned how to cuss. Guys, get him".

At that signal, the 3 kids started running towards Izuku. Said kid decided to stand (menacingly) where he was until they were close enough. He needed to handle his cooldowns correctly or he would be done for. So he started to to what he did the best Analyze.

'Three enemies, running towards me. Probably they will attack at the same time. The kid in the right has a quirk that lets him elongate his fingers, so I should be careful with my eyes. I should take him down first. The others don't have a quirk that will help them.'

The 3 kids were now close enough for Midoriya to act. He smirked

'Alright, let's get down to business'

Just when the guy in the middle was about to punch him, he stopped time. As fast as he could, he moved the kid with the fingers quirk to face the attacker, so he would receive the punch. Then, he decided to stand behind the third kid, to kick him in the back once time resumed.

After 6 seconds passed, timed resumed again, and he kicked the kid he was behind of, making his face hit directly a wall.

Izuku couldn't help but feel pride at what he just did: almost knocking off 2 kids and the same time and leaving a third really confused. Midoriya was almost laughing, thinking about how it must have been for the kids to see the whole scene in real time.

As much as he was enjoying himself, he had a fight to win and a blonde to make into a donut, so he forced himself to focus again.

Luckly, the reaction time of theses kids was really bad, so he had already his time stop available. He used THE WORLD, for only 3 seconds this time,and he pushed the kid who threw the first punch, so he would fall to the ground, where the kid with the long fingers was. Izuku noticed how when he pushed the kid, he moved but didn't fall completely, as if gravity didn't fully applied in THE WORLD. 'That could be useful for later'.

Even though Izuku pushed him with just enough force so he would stumble, the kid fell at an amazing speed, knocking himself with the finger's quirk kid and putting both of them out of commission. 'Another aspect of my power to worry about once I'm done with this fight', thought Midoriya.

The last kid was getting up from the kiss he gave to the wall earlier. Izuku didn't even have to use his quirk, he just run towards him and he punched him in the face.

Or at least he would have done it, if an explosion didn't send him flying some meters away.

"You FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. I'm going to MURDER you." Said Bakugou, small explosions popping in his hands.

"I'd like to see you try, all mighty Kaachan", mocked Izuku. He was done being nice. Katsuki wanted a fight? He would give him a fight. And sass.

"DIIIIIEEEE", and with that, Bakugou lunged at him with a right hook aimed straight to the head.

Izuku knew that Bakugou had a really good reaction time for his age, so he needed to play well his cards. That meant small bursts of time stop until he could land a finisher. He started by using THE WORLD for 2 seconds, evading the punch and throwing one straight to the gut. After said punch he let time flow again and was surprised when the ashen haired kid was send back, rolling in the ground at the impact, for about 5 meters.

'So that means that impacts on stopped time hit harder… Oh boy,' thought Izuku, now grinning' this is gonna be fun'

Katsuki recovered from the hit, and ran towards Deku accumulating swet for a big explosion. This time, instead of going for a punch, he tried shooting a blast towards Izuku's legs to paralyze him. Midoriya, however, stopped time again, and punched Katsuki on the face. This time, he went flying towards a wall, and almost passed out.

"So, Kaachan, you want to play the hero, that's fine. "said Izuku, crouching to make eye contact with Katsuki who sat defeated " However, I recommend you not making me the villain, unless you want to end up in a bag. But don't worry"he said, this time, with a smile on his face", we won't have the pleasure to play again to these games. I very much doubt you'll even see me on the streets. So have fun Kaachan, becoming the hero, you so desperately want to become.

And with 3 unconscious kids laying on the ground and a fourth one leaning on a wall, Izuku left, and All for One, as always omniscient, was very pleased with what he had just witnessed. He had won.

A/N:

So, here's chapter 6, where we see how Izuku slowly starts to become a villain. Right now he's just a little sassy and when he builds up too much rage he explodes, but I intend on making him evolve. He'll become colder, but will maintain this sadism he has while fighting. He will, however, still intend to save people, but he will not care about crushing people he hates.

Also, this is his first real fight, so let me know what you thought about it.

Next chapter will be about Izuku training with THE WORLD, featuring a time skip, and then he will meet somebody that will follow him in his path.

I have something planned for Bakugou. Oh boi, do I have something planned. You know when I said that Izuku will not care about crushing people he hates? Well, there's more than one way to destroy Katsuki, and I won't spoil anything, but there's a special type of satisfaction when you make somebody you hate fuck up big time.

Well, as always, if there are any suggestions, write it in the comments, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Bye!
