I don't own My Hero Academia
"13... 14...17...? No, 16 should be about right. Oh wait! But then I'd forget..."
'Wow... there sure are a lot of thing to remember about being a hero.' Izuku sweat dropped as no. 13 simply continued on counting the many aspects of being a hero.
Whatever hope Izuku had for an inspiring speech was slowly dying an ugly death. disapointingly Al Might wasn't here, apparently he used up his 3 hours after fighting some minor crimes. At least, that's what Aizawa-sensei had said. It was nice being able to talk so openly about Al Might and his weakness with his teachers and no other students around to tiptoe around. Izuku felt like if he had to be super secretive about this and tell none about this he might die early of stress.
The 3 of them had already entered the U.S.J. and Izuku was gobsmacked by the amount of work that had been put into the humongous building. He couldn't wait to try out OfA in the mountain range like terrain. Although he would rather not go for the burning city anytime soon...
'A single mis-jump could make me roasted seaweed!' he thought nervously.
While 13 continued his never-ending speech that was probably going nowhere anyway, if the groaning of his sensei was anything to go by, Izuku looked over the rest of the terrains.
'Let's see... plain city ruins... that looks like it could be a post-landslide... err... urban neighbourhood? Is that... a swimming pool with a waterslide? Actually, I wonder how well I could swim with AfO. That place looks like it's just rainy all the time, not very dangerous, but looks can be deceiving. And then there's just-'
"Erm... Aizawa-sensei?" the greenette started "I think there's something wrong with the fountain." True enough, a strange black miasma had appeared in front of the fountain on the main plaza.
"Crap! Villains!" Aizawa stood said loud enough to knock 13 out of his 'speech'.
Suddenly, the black mist started spinning until it resembled a vortex. A single white hand came forth from the middle of the darkness and, to Izuku's shock, a man followed. Next followed something that Izuku would definitely not call a man.
He grimaced as he looked at the giant hulking black creature, its brain exposed. Lines of teeth looking more like wood splinters made from bone formed a terrifying grin. Said grin however didn't reach the creature's beady fish like eyes. While the first man looked intimidating with his body covered in detached hands, his face hidden by one gripping his face, making it so that his only defining facial feature were his red eyes. He had nothing on that mostrosity.
When both strangers had left the probably-a-portal, it itself started convulsing and shrinking until it was about the size of the monster itself and grew two electric yellow eyes.
"Eeehh!? What's this now? Where's Al Might? Our info said he'd be here!" the hand wearing man exclaimed. "All we have here is a wanna-be astronaut and a little twerp! At least Eraserhead's here... but where is Al Might!?"
Aizawa wasted no time. "13, on me! Midoryia, go back to the school and get help!"
Izuku's eyes widened. "W-what!? And leave you here!? But you'd be outnumbered, I can-"
"Not now Midoryia!" Aizawa barked back. "You're not trained for this yet! Besides, we might need those reinforcements, somehow no alarms have gone off and they need to know."
Although he didn't like it, Izuku nodded and got ready to leave through where they entered, he'd have to trust his sensei on this. But before he could make a single step a familiar black miasma appeared and barred the path to the entrance.
"I apologise, but I'm afraid I can't let that happen." A deep and rich voice came forth from the black mist. "You see, we are the League of Villains, and we are here for one thing only." He paused dramatically...
"To kill the symbol of peace, Al Might!"
'Kill Al Might!? But that's impossible, what do they have that could possibly compare to the number one hero!?' Izuku's mind wondered involuntarily back to the black titan. 'There's no way...'
"That's why it's a pity he isn't here." The miasma continued smoothly. "Oh well, maybe he'll appear if we were to torture and kill you, it'll certainly teach him not to miss an appointment again. Oh, and as for you mister Ereaserhead, Master Tomura would like to meet you, he's... a fan." Aizawa didn't like the way the mist had said fan but before he could react, he was whisked away, falling through a portal that appeared under his feet.
'Damnit! I waited too long for an opportunity to strike like some goddamn rookie!' The hero thought as he fell through darkness.
"Now then, let's commence, shall we?" the mist said as he turned to the two heroes left.
"Izuku, you need to get to U.A. and warn the other teachers right now! Go! I'll distract this guy!" 13 quickly yelled at his student before taking position, ready to let lose his quirk.
"R-right away, sir!" Izuku yelled back as he summoned OfA throughout his body. When he finally got the river running after a few seconds he took a run for the door.
"Discussing strategy in front of the enemy and taking such a distasteful long time to get ready to execute it? How sad. You simply must be punished for such arrogance." The ethereal cloud send long but fast tendrils of darkness at the running boy, but before they could reach him 13 sprung into action and quickly sucked the attack up. It wasn't long until 13 had redirected his attack on the main body of the villain.
'Damn! I knew his quirk was strong, but it seems I still underestimated him. Him being able to affect me on such a long distance is something I never expected.' The dark spirit thought. 'luckily I still have a card up my sleeve.'
Without 13 noticing he summoned a bit of miasma, just enough, behind the hero and was ready to turn the tide before he heard a yell.
"13! Watch out!" Izuku yelled, standing halfway between 13 and the door, but he knew it would have no effect. Quickly he took a short diagnosis of what he had on his body, found a relatively heavy first-aid kit due to its compactness, grabbed it and threw it.
Now, this shouldn't have done anything really. In any realistic world the item would have simply flown through the darkness, not really hitting anything, and landing harmlessly on the other side of the mist wall. Luckily for Izuku however, this world wasn't realistic, and the kit hit the iron neck brace hidden deep within the villain's body.
Doing quite the opposite of what it's supposed to do, the kit hit hard enough for the villain to temporarily lose his concentration and didn't manage to execute his attack before 13 had noticed it, and thus was able to break off his offence before it turned on him.
After recovering from his brief yet intense neck pain the villain turned to the First year. "It seems I underestimated you, or rather, your luck, just as much as 13, boy." The abyss said. "Very well then, it seems I will have to take this fight up a notch." The declaration was followed by both 13 and Izuku being engulfed in a wall of black.
And thus the fight of U.S.J. starts!
Did ya miss me? Sorry for taking so long, but I was kinda busy with everything work and school threw at me. I will try to go for another update tomorrow, the chapter with the actuall fight between 13, Izuku and Kurogiri. Honestly i wanted to make it longer, but i also wanted to post as soon as possible. lemme know what you guys want though, keep the chapter short and *ahem* frequent, or make the chapters longer, i don't know whether i'll be able to deliver on longer chapters in the first place though.
Some of you might have noticed I changed the first chapter to exclude Aizawa's reasoning of holding back. I really should have done that earlier.
I hope you people weren't expecting any cannon fodder. I purposefully left them out for obvious reasons, after all. Why would Tomura waste recourses and time gathering an army of thugs when he'll only be facing 4 people, one of which a first year student?
At first I wasn't gonna make Shinsou part of 1-A but the amount of reviews I get about it might make me change my mind. I felt like he had to prove himself worthy of the heroics course before, and I was planning to have him do that during the sports festival.
I was actually thinking about writing for other fandoms as well, but more one shots and story ideas than actual stories.
And now, time for some review answering:
SPeCTeR-ll7 chapter 4 . Mar 19
Will one for all be the same as it is in cannon, i.e. a stockpiling quirk that is essentially seven quirks in one or will it just be a strength enhancement?
Dude, I'm gonna be honest with ya, I watch the anime, I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do that far ahead, I took me 3 and a half months to get to U.S.J. after all.
ILiekFishes chapter 4 . Jan 15
Hmm. Well I can't say that this was what I was expecting to find when I scrolled through a random author's list of favorites, and I'm even more surprised that I haven't found it before.
I do think that just Izuku will be kind of hard to do, what with a major part of MHA's charm being it's cast, but I do think it would make sense, however, expelling all of them is sort of unwarranted. Aizawa didn't know that Iida had recipro burst, and that's the worst example. Bakugo may be a dick, but he's certainly not lacking in quirk application. What's Tsuyu supposed to do to improve her scores, aside from more physical training? What did Yaoyorozu do wrong?
Look, I think the concept is cool and I like the story, but I'm just saying there are a few flaws.
Also there's literally no reason not to put Shinso in 1A, Deku will be alone for 2 months and if Shinso does just as well as in cannon, he should be allowed to transfer. I mean, plot yes, but the story should not be a slave to the plot (wait did that make any sense? the story should progress because of prior events, not because plot point a has to become plot point b)
Still a great story 8/10 make chapters longer. -1 point because of aforementioned nitpick and -1 point because I don't know how well you can write action/drama because we haven't hit USJ.
Yes, the first chapter was indeed badly flawed, I was just so excited about writing for the first time I overlooked that part like a friggin' dumbass. You review is actually what kicked me into gear to change chapter one for the good. Your review is also the main reason why I'll be rethinking what to do with Shinsou. And I too, am curious as to how I'm gonna write action and drama, I've never done it before after all. At first I was really looking up against writing a fighting scene but I might actually like it.
So be sure to pat yourself on the back for kicking my lazy ass back into gear, kind reviewer.
Wirespeed91 chapter 4 . Dec 29, 2018
I admit that I find the in-universe explanation for expulsion to be a bit... Unlikely, but I get the out of universe concept and I think it sounds quite interesting. I will be sure to keep an eye out for updates.
It could maybe use some extra proofreading though. I don't see anything outright spelled wrongly but I've noticed some typos and inconsistent languange.
A couple ones that stuck out to me:
"Expelled" vs "Expulsed" - either is technically correct I'd say (though I can't say I've ever heard anyone actually use "Expulsed" before), but I think you should pick one and stick with it.
I also noticed at one point there was the word "here" when "hero" makes more sense.
I never thought using differentiating language would be annoying to someone, I mostly worry about not using the same words all the time as that is what always ticks me off. I'll be sure to watch out for it in the future however.
InnocentxPsycho chapter 4 . Dec 24, 2018
Whats the pairing for this?
Listen man, I've never written action, humour or drama before. Please don't make me write romance as well, I don't know whether this story would survive the butchered attempt
Pleaseworkforonce chapter 4 . Dec 18, 2018
I was expecting a crack fit, but this not half bad
It was supposed to be a crack fic, or rather a oneshot/story idea, at first, but then positive vibes happened.
