Hi everyone! Ready for a new chapter.
Chapter 26
"Feeling nervous?" Ochako asked, glancing at her boyfriend who is standing next to her.
Currently, it's the first school day of the week and the two of them are standing outside U.A.
"Y-yeah." Izuku replied, trying to calm his nerves.
Even though the dark green hair boy gained the courage of coming back to school, he's not sure about facing his classmates.
"I keep on telling you, Deku. Everyone's worried about you, they don't care if your non-human or something completely different. Just relax." Ochako explained in soothing tone of voice, causing Izuku to gulp slightly before nodding his head.
"R-right." Izuku said, starting to smile slightly.
"Good!" Ochako said before kissing Izuku on the cheek, causing the dark green hair boy to start blushing.
A few students, who are walking past them, glanced in their direction but didn't say anything.
"Come on now, All Might Jr, time to meet up with the others!" Ochako said before starting to head towards the building.
"...H-hey! Don't call me that!" Izuku shouted, his blush starting to go deeper.
Ochako spotted the picture of Eclipso and Izuku, wearing the All Might onesie, on the kitchen table and completely laughed her head off.
"It's true though!" Ochako called back, starting to laugh.
This cause the students walking pass them to become confuse slightly, especial a girl with long blue hair.
"Okay everyone! Get to your seats, school will be starting soon." Tenya said whilst making strange hand gestures.
However, nobody moved to their seats.
"Who made you class president?" Denki asked, he and everyone else to look at the engine Quirk user.
"W-well, since Zwen isn't here, someone needs to take his place." Tenya explained, pushing up his glasses.
"We still have the vice-president, you know." Kyoka pointed out whilst jabbing a thumb at Momo.
"...That's true." Tenya said, becoming depress.
This cause everyone to snicker slightly.
"Okay I think it's best if we get to our seats now." Momo said, causing the students of class 1-A to start moving to their seats, making Tenya more depress.
It was then that the door to the classroom opened, causing everyone to turn their heads.
"Morning, Ochako. Did you have a good weekend?" Tsuyu asked, noticing that Ochako seemed more happier than from last week.
"I had a good weekend. Thank you for asking, Tsu." Ochako replied, causing confuse to spread throughout the class.
"Did something happen to you over the weekend, Uraraka?" Toru asked, not sure if she should start feeling concern for the gravity Quirk user.
"Yes. Something did happen to me." Ochako replied, causing the class to glance at each.
"You can tell us at break-time, school will be starting soon." Tenya explained, trying to gain some formality from Ochako.
"I got an announcement, everyone." Ochako said, completely ignoring Tenya, causing the engine Quirk user to all most loosing the will to live.
Everyone started to become curious.
"And what's that, Uraraka?" Eijiro asked with a small grin on his face.
"Well, during the weekend, I went to someone's residence and managed to get convince them to come to school." Ochako replied, causing some confusion to spread among the class again.
"Er...Uraraka. I don't think it's wise to bring unauthorized people onto campus, I don't think anyone want something similar with the media corps to happen again." Hanta explained in an uncertain tone of voice.
"Don't be an idiot, tape head." A grinning Katsuki said, knowing where the gravity Quirk user is heading.
"Hey!" Hanta called, glancing towards the explosive Quirk user.
"You can come in now." Ochako said, glancing over to the door. Everyone became silent and after a few seconds, a certain dark green hair boy slowly entered the classroom.
"...Hi" Izuku said in a weak tone of voice.
"...ZWEN!" The whole of class 1-A exclaimed, making Izuku and Ochako jump.
"Dude! Seriously? where were you?" Eijiro asked as everyone started to crowd around Izuku, causing Ochako to be squish next to the dark green hair boy.
"Yeah! Do you know how worried everyone was when you just disappeared!" Mina exclaimed, shaking the Izuku slightly.
"Hold on everyone, give him some space." Momo said, causing the class to move back.
"Thank you, Yaoyorozu." Izuku said, causing the creative Quirk user to smile in response.
"Your welcome." Momo replied, causing Izuku to nod his head before taking a deep breath.
"Everyone...I'm sorry. Sorry for my actions and running away like I did back at the UJS." Izuku apologize, bowing his head as he did so.
"Zwen. Attacking us back at the UJS wasn't your fault, it was that Zander guy. And anyone who have went through being mind controlled who have run away." Mashirao said, causing everyone to nod their heads.
"Yes...but, it still put a bad taste in my mouth..." Izuku thought before smiling slightly.
"Thanks, guys." The dark green hair boy said before changing the subject.
"I heard from Ochako that everyone now knows about my...past." Izuku said, causing the whole class to become silent.
"Sorry if we intrude on personal information." Fumikage said in an apologetic tone of voice.
"It's okay. Zander told half of the class about my past, the other half should know as well. it's only fair." Izuku said, causing the class to feel relieve.
"You got that right! It was so uncomfortable for some of us when everyone else was out of character." Denki said, causing a few members of the class to nod their heads in an agreement.
"I'm not sure what's worst, being abandoned by your parents or getting experimented on." Mina said, causing some of the class to nod their heads in agreement.
"I think that getting abandoned by my parents was the most hurting..." Izuku said in a low tone of voice, but everyone managed to hear him.
"Please don't be sad, Zwen. Everyone's here for you." Tenya said, causing the whole class to nod their heads.
"Thank you, guys." Izuku and everyone became shock when they saw tears appearing in his eyes.
"Gah! Please don't cry, Zwen!" Toru exclaimed before suddenly hugging the dark green hair boy tightly.
One of Ochako's eyes began to twitch when she saw that the invisibility girl is hugging her boyfriend into her chest.
"I have another announcement to make." Ochako said through gritted teeth as she wrench Izuku out of Toru's grasp.
"Huh?" Everyone said at the same time as they became surprise at Ochako's behavior as she glared at the girls.
"Deku's off limits, his mine." Ochako said, causing the whole class to become silent.
"...What!?" Everyone exclaimed at the same time.
"You two an item then?" Tsuyu asked, causing Ochako to nod her head firmly.
"W-when then this happen?" Mina asked as everyone else became confuse.
"...Over the weekend." Izuku replied, not sure to be afraid of Ochako's new possessive nature.
It was then that the door to the classroom opened.
"Okay, class. School is starting, get to your-!" Miss Kayama began to say but stop as her eyes fell on Izuku.
"...Zwen!? Where have you been! Do you know how worried everyone became when you just seemingly disappeared!?" Miss Kayama exclaimed just as Andra entered the room and smiled as she saw Izuku.
"I'm sorry, Miss Kayama." Izuku said in an apologetic tone of voice, causing the R-rated hero to sigh slightly.
"I'm just glad that your back. It was nerve wracking for me when I have to ring your aunt and tell her what happened...?" Miss Kayama said before noticing Ochako's arms wrapped around Izuku.
"What's going on here?" Miss Kayama said as a smirk appeared on her lips, having a good idea what's going on.
Both Izuku and Ochako began to blush as the gravity Quirk user remove her arms from Izuku.
"M-me and I-Izuku are an i-item now." Ochako replied, stuttering slightly and the smirk on Miss Kayama's lips disappeared and replaced with a smile.
"Congratulations you two. I had the feeling that you two would get together." Miss Kayama said, causing the whole class to become surprise.
"Y-you did?" Izuku asked, causing Miss Kayama to nod her head.
"Absolutely! I know the signs when I see them." Miss Kayama said before a thought entered her head.
"By the way, I don't mind the two of you being all lovely dovey with each other, but please don't your relationship distract your training." Miss Kayama explained, causing both teens to nod their heads.
"But..." Miss Kayama began to say, her smirk reappearing on her face. The whole class, plus Andra, started to become curious.
"If you two want some advice on deepening your relationship further. Then I'm happy to help." Miss Kayama said, giving Izuku and Ochako a wink.
It took a few seconds for both teens, being followed by the rest of class and Andra, to start blushing furiously.
"W-w-w-what?!" Both Izuku and Ochako exclaimed at the same time as they realize the meaning behind the R-rated heroine's words.
This cause Miss Kayama to start laughing.
"Are you really suitable for teaching teenagers?" Andra asked, asking the question that is on everyone's mind.
"Of course, I am. I wouldn't have gotten this position in the first place." Miss Kayama replied just as the bell sounded.
"Okay! School is starting now. To your seats." The R-rated heroine said, causing the class to start moving towards their respective seats.
Ochako kissed Izuku on the cheek before heading to her own desk. This cause some people to wolf whistle.
"Right, now that Zwen is back with us, I have an important announcement to make." Miss Kayama said, causing class 1-A to become curious.
"The U.A's Sports Festival is fast approaching." Miss Kayama said, causing the whole class to become excited.
"The what festival?" Andra asked whilst tilting her head, this cause the whole room to become silent as they all stare at the female Incursion.
"...What? I'm from a different planet, you know!" Andra said in an exasperating tone of voice.
"Do you have any mass events back on your home planet?" Miss Kayama asked, causing Andra to nod her head.
"Of course. The Incursion race are intellectual after all." Andra replied, causing the R-rated heroine to nod her head.
"Well, the U.A's Sport's Festival is an massive event where the students get to show off their skills to the rest of the country." Miss Kayama began to explain, causing Andra to nod her head slightly. Miss Kayama turned her attention back to the class.
"As all of you will probably know, this is a good opportunity for the pro-heroes out there to start scouting for side-kicks." Miss Kayama explained, causing the class to start murmuring.
"They'll be looking to hire us as side-kicks after we graduate. But most side-kicks will never go solo. They be side-kicks forever." Denki said, causing everyone around him to nod their heads in agreement.
"That will be you, Kaminiari. You dunce." Kyoka pointed out, causing the electric Quirk user to gain an annoyed expression on his face.
"Miss Kayama." Tenya said whilst raising a hand, causing everyone to look at the engine Quirk user.
"Is there something wrong, Ida?" Miss Kayama asked, becoming slightly curious.
"Does the school thinks it will be wise to let the festival carry on, with what just happened at the UJS?" Tenya asked, causing the class to start murmuring again.
"Certainly. The school letting the sport's festival carrying on will show everyone that nothing can stop us. But we will be increasing security, if that ease your nerves, Ida." Miss Kayama explained, causing the engine Quirk user to nod his head.
"Remember everyone, your time is limited. The sports festival happens once a year, so that means you have three chances of showing the world your stuff to create a future for yourself." Miss Kayama explained, causing everyone to gain a determine look in their eyes.
"Man! I'm so pump up for the festival!" Ejiro said in an excited tone of voice.
"Hell yeah! Making a name for ourselves will be one step closer to becoming pro." Hanta said with a smirk on his face.
"Wow. Everyone seems excited." Izuku commented as he glance at his fellow classmates.
"Of course, everyone's excited. Aren't you?" Tenya asked, causing Izuku to sigh slightly.
"I am, yes. But...I'm afraid that something similar at the USJ will happen to me during the festival." Izuku said, causing Tenya to frown slightly.
"I don't see why that Zander person should cause any trouble at the sport festival, he might even help you to get first place, Izuku." Tsuyu pointed out, making Izuku and Tenya to jump slightly at her sudden appearance.
"That's true...But there's the fact about his Soul Force that's within me. What happens if it goes berserk?" Izuku asked, causing Tenya and Tsuyu to glance at each other.
"We have a while before the festival starts, Zwen. There will be enough time for you to control this...Soul Force thing." Tenya said, not entirely sure about the topic of Soul Force.
"Miss Kindle could help you with your training. You two are both Incursions after all." Tsuyu pointed out, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"Deku, Ida, Tsu..." A voice spoke, causing the three named to become confuse before turning their heads in the direction of the voice and saw Ochako, her hair covering the gravity Quirk user's face.
"Yes, Ochako. Is there something wrong?" Izuku asked, becoming nervous slightly.
"Let do our best at the Sports Festival!" Ochako said with unusual determined expression on her face.
"Ochako! Your face!" Izuku exclaimed in a surprise tone of voice.
"I guess that Uraraka is super excited about the festival." Mina said as she and everyone else notice the unusual determine expression on her face.
"Everyone! Let crush everyone else!" Ochako said as her face became more demonic-like.
"Yeah/Yes indeed!" Everyone exclaimed at the same time whilst raising their arms into their before realizing that another response was said.
"W-who said that?" Minoru said whilst glancing around.
"It was me." A voice spoke, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the door to see a certain mammal principal.
"...Principal Nezu. What are you doing here?" Momo asked, becoming confuse along with everyone else.
"I'm here to see, Zwen." Principal Nezu replied, causing the whole of class 1-A to become nervous.
"Don't worry. I just want to speak to you." Principal Nezu said with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Izuku said before heading out of the classroom and following the mammal principal.
"Is Deku in trouble or something?" Ochako asked, reverting to her usual self, causing everyone to become relieve.
"I guess the principal just want to talk to Zwen about what happened at the UJS." Tsuyu replied, causing Ochako to become worried.
Here, have some tea." Principal Nezu said, passing a cup of tea to Izuku.
Currently, Principal Nezu and Izuku are in the mammal principal's office.
"Is this...about what at the UJS?" Izuku asked in a nervous tone of voice whilst taking the cup of tea.
"Well, it more of what steps we're need to take to make sure things are safe at the sport's festival. But please don't worry, you're not in trouble or anything." Principal Nezu explained with a reassuring smile on his face.
"O-okay." Izuku said, a nervous smile appearing on his face.
"The first thing I've been talking with Miss Kendle is that we came up with a theory that Zander will need to be in close proximity to be able to take control over you." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"So, we're going to be specifically keeping an eye out for Zander." Principal Nezu said, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Now, I want to talk about, Zander's Soul Force. I know that this is certainly a no, but have you been able to activate Zander's Soul Force within you?" Principal Nezu asked, causing Izuku to shake his head.
"I haven't done anything during my time away but..." Izuku began to say before activating Darwin's Theory.
The dark green hair boy then raised a hand and concentrated.
A few seconds later, a dark indigo aura burst to life around Izuku's hand.
"So, your able to summon that power easily?" Principal Nezu asked as he stared at the indigo aura.
"Yes. It sure looks like it." Izuku replied before switching the Soul Force off and transforming back into his human form.
Silence descended around the two of them.
"You know...I know what it feels like about being experimented on." Principal Nezu said, causing a confuse look to appear on the dark green hair boy's face.
It took a few seconds for Izuku to understand what Principal Nezu is talking about.
"You're not human. You're an rare example of an animal manifesting a Quirk. High Specs." Izuku said, causing the mammal Prinipal to nod his head.
"Indeed. It feels strange when I somehow manifested a Quirk, learning life from a new perspective. It certainly made my owner shock when I started to act more human." Principal Nezu said, and Izuku had to cover his mouth in an attempt to stop himself from laughing.
"My owner, a kind old lady, tried to keep me a secret from the world. But somehow, word got out and some government officials showed up at my owner's house and took me away. Before long I was experimented on and toyed with." Principal Nezu explained, his mood darkening.
"It a surprise that you became principal of U.A in the first place. People would expect that you stop trusting humans. I know I would." Izuku said, causing Principal Nezu to nod his head in agreement.
"Indeed, but I couldn't focus my anger on all humans. But the humans that where experimenting on me got fired. I found out later that those experiments where illegal. That got me excited as the people who were tormenting me got what they deserve." Principal Nezu explained before taking a deep breath.
"But, I do find the time to rent out my anger on the students here." Principal Nezu said with a wicked smile on his face, causing Izuku to shudder.
"Let's move onto more important matters, such as helping you get a better control of One For All. It would be a shame to loose a promising student because of them becoming paralyze every time they use One For All." Principal Nezu said, causing Izuku to become shock.
"H-h-how do you know about One For All?!" Izuku asked in a shock tone of voice.
"I know about One For All since All Might was at school. Recovery Girl also knows about the Quirk as well if you're wondering about who else, among the current staff, knows about One For All." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to nod his head before noticing something that the mammal principal said.
""Among the current staff"? do you mean there was another teacher previously here that know about One For All?" Izuku asked, causing Principal Nezu to nod his head.
"Correct, the teacher knows about One For All because he was told by All Might's predecessor." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to become curious.
"So, who is this teacher?" The dark green hair boy asked in an interesting tone of voice.
"His name is Grand Torino. All Might's homeroom teacher for a year and was the one who trained All Might." Principal Nezu replied, causing Izuku to frown in concentration.
"I...don't remember hearing that hero name before..." Izuku said, still thinking.
"You wouldn't have. Grand Torino isn't known to the public. I think that he only picked up his license in the first pace is to use his Quirk legally." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to become surprise.
"Seriously!? There have been many debates on who trained All Might and this Grand Torino guy doesn't bother to say anything." Izuku said, causing Prinicpal Nezu to shrug his shoulders.
"Well, not everyone likes to be in the lime-light. Grand Torino is probably one of those people." The Mammal principal explained, causing Izuku to nod his head understandly. However it was then that a thought entered the dark green hair boy's hair.
"Wait a minute, why did Grand Torino trained All Might. Shouldn't it be his predecessor, of One For All, who trained him?" Izuku asked, causing Principal Nezu to gained a sad expression on his face.
"All Might's predecessor, Nana Shimura, died before All Might entered U.A. So, Grand Torino was entrusted with the responsibility to train All Might in Nana Shimura's place." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to nod his head, him also gaining a sad expression on his face.
"So, I thought that it would be a good idea to bring Grand Torino in and give you a few tips." Principal Nezu said with a smile on his face, causing Izuku to gain a shock expression on his face.
"W-wait a minute! If Grand Torino was the one who trained All Might, then he must be past his prime by now!" Izuku said, causing the mammal principal to chuckle slightly.
"I don't think old age will stop Grand Torino from doing his duty of protecting people." Principal Nezu explained, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly, but the dark green hair boy still have doubts within him.
"I expect that you will meet him soon, maybe tomorrow in fact. I already phoned him and he agreed to come." Principal Nezu said, causing a tick-mark to appear on Izuku's head.
"Thanks for the heads up, sneaky rat." Izuku said in a dark tone of voice.
However, Principal Nezu simply laughed, not bothered by Izuku's threatening tone of voice.
When Izuku returned back to class, everyone started to ask him questions.
However, the dark green hair boy told them about the first half of the conversation, telling them that Principal Nezu told him that the school put safety measures in place so that the sport's festival will run as normally as possible.
However, Ochako gained the feeling that there was something else that Izuku decided not to tell everyone.
Currently, It's after school and everyone from class 1-A are prepared to get home, but...
"Whoa! What's going on here?!" Ochako exclaimed as she and everyone else in class 1-A stared at the numerous people that are staring into their classroom.
"W-w-what are they doing h-here? Scoping out the c-competition?!" Minoru asked in a scared tone of voice.
"Duh. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out, small fry." Katsku replied as he made his way towards the door.
"Move it. Some of us have places to go." Katsuki said with a slight growl.
"It's true. we came to get a better look on what we're up against. Are all the kids in the hero course like this one?" A male with spiky purple hair said as he emerged from the crowd of students.
"Then I got to say that I'm a little disillusioned if this is what you got to offer." The purple spiky hair male said whilst rubbing the back of his neck.
"I think you know that those who didn't end up in the U.A's hero course are place within the other courses. There's quite a few of us, did you know?" The purple spiky hair male asked, causing Katsuki to scowl.
"So, what?" Katsuki asked in a frustrating tone of voice.
"Well, depending on the results of the sports festival, they might consider transferring us into the course. The reverse is also implied to you as well." The purple spiky hair male explained, causing some people in class 1-A to gulp slightly.
"With you being one out of the two classes that where attacked at the UJS. It's the perfect chance to say that we from the other courses are declaring war on you." The purple spiky hair male said, causing the students of class 1-A to become tense.
"Buzz off. Why don't all stare at class 1-B. they were at the UJS as well." Katsuki said as started to shove people out of the way.
"H-hey! Do you want to make enemies for us?" Eijiro asked, causing Katsuki to glance over his shoulder.
"I don't care. I'm heading to the top." The explosive Quirk user replied simply, causing everyone in class 1-A to sigh.
"So straight forward." Everyone thought at the same time as the crowd of students outside their class started to head towards class 1-B's classroom.
"Well. it looks like that the competition is already heating up." Ochako said with a nervous smile on her face.
"Y-yeah." Izuku said before gaining a determined look on his face.
"I need to learn on how to control One For All fast or otherwise face the risk of getting transferred to another course. Grand Torino, teach me!" Izuku thought in determination.
And there we have it, Izuku returning to class 1-A and everyone getting ready for the Sport's Festival. I hope that everyone like the story of Prinicipal Nezu and next chapter will be the introduction of Grand Torino. Please review and until next time.
Guest: Izuku will meet his sister during the Sports Festival.
Dragon Lord Draco: There is no need to have a negative response to the last reply. I was joking.
valkrus: Thank you, that word is difficult to write.
