Izuku ran throughout the streets to get to his house, so that he can call on his mentor, in order to help Eri. But, while he was doing so, he hadn't noticed the shadowy figure, in the most literal sense approach, him from far behind, along the walls surrounding the houses
"Hah...hah...hah..." Izuku breathed heavily as he kept on running, with Eri tightly holding on to him
OFA's vestiges alerted Izuku about something coming from behind, as danger sense went off, when the shadow was close enough, which made him turn towards it, while firing up OFA to 5%. Upon noticing the odd shadow move closer and closer, Izuku turned forward once again and jumped into the air, while activating float to escape, this time going instead to a nearby police station or even a hero agency, if close enough
A head partially emerged from the shadow. The head seemingly belonging to a man in his mid 30s, having medium length black hair, sharp and tired black eyes, with a long nose and sandy beige skin. A short stubble can also be seen
"Tch...that brat flew away with her...how am I supposed to bring her like this...no! Can't do that! Boss would be pretty pissy! I should at least try to find where he is headed..." he said before diving back into the shadow and proceeding to follow the boy and the girl
Izuku has been flying for sometime, searching for the closest police station
"It should be close, Eri-chan...I don't know, who that guy is or, whether or not he has anything to do with you...but, don't worry...I will keep you safe, okay?" he said trying to comfort and assure her
Eri wasn't answering anything due to having so many thoughts in her mind right now
If he is actually nice and is trying to help me...all I am doing is drag him into danger...but I don't want go back...I already had enough...after so much time, I was finally able to escape from them, from him! Her thoughts making her hold onto him tightly I'm sorry...
Izuku and the vestiges kept on searching around, eventually finding the station. And so, he proceeded to land near it, instantly getting in and asking the officers for help
"Please help us, there was a man trying to hurt us!"
Izuku had explained the situation to officers properly while some of them looked out for anyone suspicious around streets nearby. After that, he called Allmight and then his mother to the station they were in, while giving enough info to them to know, so that they end up thinking he did something wrong
After sometime Inko came, with him explaining everything that happened, which caused her to be really worried
"Why do you getting into trouble like this..."
"Sorry...but I couldn't just ignore her, you know..."
"Hmm..."
Inko stopped arguing, understanding that nothing could have been done their, then looks with soft smile towards Eri, who has been sitting close Izuku this entire time, while clinging onto his tractsuit's sleeves
"Hello Eri-chan, my name is Midoriya Inko! I am Izuku's mother, nice to meet you!" she said softly
Eri was a bit nervous of talking to another person other than Izuku, but considering that it's his mother, she ended up coming to the conclusion that she should safe and nice either
"N-Nice to meet you, too" She replied nervously
"Hmm" Inko nodded before continuing, "I want to ask you something...where are your parents, Eri-chan?"
After hearing that, Eri suddenly got a more fearful expression
"Umm...uhhh...mmh.." she wasn't able speak up
Inko and Izuku noticing it, immediately thought something must've happened to her parents, especially considering her current state
"Eri-chan..." Izuku spoke up, in a serious yet comforting tone
Eri looked up with the same expression towards Izuku
"I see that you feel uncomfortable talking about whatever is in your mind, but...we can't properly help you, if you don't explain to us, you know...be reassured that I am not going to change my want to help you out, I promise!" He said strongly, with his left to his heart
Eri was unsure, fearing them getting rid of her upon hearing her explanation
"I-I explain..."
"That's great...so ahh...go on"
Eri breathed deep, speaking with her head down and fiddling her fingers
"When my quirk first appeared, I accidentally erased my dad...because of that and that my quirk wasn't related to any of their's, my mom thought I was cursed...and abandoned me to be left to my grandpa..."
Both of them heard her story and were confused at what she meant
"Ahh...Eri-chan...what do you mean by erased...don't worry, no one is going to fault you for anything, okay?" Izuku asked while also assuring her
She took another big breath before saying
"M-My current d-dad told me, it being something about rewinding living things or something like that..."
"Hmm...rewinding, huh?"
"Yeah..." she was scared, now that they know this, it doesn't take too much guessing as to what happened to her dad, they are absolutely going to be mad at her, is what she thought
"That must be really painful for you, dealing with so much at such a young age..." Inko said softly with sorrowful eyes
"Yeah...I am sorry that you had to go through that..." he said while stroking her head
"Aren't you scared? Aren't you worried that, I might hurt you?
"Mmh? No! Of course not...it's not like it's your fault anyway...you are also child to begin with..."
Eri was confused and unsure of their reactions
"Do you really mean it?"
"Yes, we do!"
"Eri-chan, all you need regarding your quirk currently, is proper help and training...I mean, sure! it's dangerous and all, but there are a lot of people that are similar to you and they were also able to overcome their difficulties eventually with enough, you know...so please...don't be scared about us thinking of you badly, ok?" Inko replied along with her son, trying her best to assure comfort the little girl
Eri looked at them with surprise, before tears welled up in her eyes and hugged Izuku, while pulling on one of Inko's hands
"Thank you...thank you saving me..."
The mother and son looked at the girl with pity in their eyes, letting her vent out any stress and pain she had
"There, there...don't worry...I will make sure no one hurts you again, okay?" Izuku promised to her
Eri looked up again and nodded
They let her be like that for a few minutes before asked the most question they had
"Eri-chan, I wanna ask...why were you in this state...and who are your grandpa and this current dad, of your's?" Izuku asked wanting know more
Eri hesitated a bit before spilling out
"My grandpa was the boss of a yakuza clan..."
"Y-yakuza boss?" both Inko and Izuku said at the same time with unhidden worry
"Mmph" she nodded, which caused the mother and son to look at each other with the same unease that had before, and then once again looking back at Eri, saying her to continue
"My grandpa treated me well, actually..."
Both of them were relieved hearing that
"Although Chisaki Kai-san, one of the people that work under grandpa was...an atrocious person, though...he is also the other dad I was talking about..."
They regained their unease
"Grandpa wanted know about my quirk, so that I can learn to control it, which is why, he let Kai-san to find that out, who has experience when it comes to doctor related stuff and also because of his quirk, that lets him able to change anything he touches with his hands, if I remember correctly"
The Midoriyas kept on listening to her, about how this Kai person, had wanted to use her ability to either erase quirks fully, via quirk erasing bullets or at the very least make both quirk erasing and restoring bullets as way to monopolize and govern japan, with the yakuza coming back. Apparently her grandfather didn't approve of this due to considering it inhumane, but Kai ended putting in a comatose state, so that he can do his job without a problem, wanting to wake him up after the yakuza are, or at least their clan is risen again. Due to wanting to create these bullets and now that there is nothing stopping him, Kai ended up experimenting on her, and when she reaches her limit, he uses his quirk to essentially kill and revive her back to a better state, to repeat his experimentations, all while also mentally and physically abusing her through other ways additionally. All of this happened for the last two years
"That man...he is a goddamned monster..." Izuku felt disgusted at the man and his actions
"I can't believe a person this deranged can exist...oh, who I am kidding? Of course bastards like that are going to always be there!" Inko felt the same way her son did, reasonably so
Eri looked at them, worried yet also curious of they are going to do next
"Hmm..." Inko and Izuku had the same idea regarding Eri, but before they could ask
"Ahh! Young Midoriya, You said something about some guy attacking you and a little girl you found the streets, could you explain to me in more detail" Allmight had come, which prompted the mother and son to explain everything, with Eri confirming it herself, albeit while clinging onto Izuku mostly due to not trusting Allmight yet, which is granted, he does look like a drug dealer you meet in a dark alleyway...
They also proceed report it to the police officers either, who then assured them about investigating the man named Chisaki Kai and his yakuza clan, shie hassaikai. Now all that's left is having to decide where Eri stays, for which the best case scenario is
"Since, she isn't going to budge from Midoriya-kun over here, she would be in the custody of the Midoriyas for now, but well...to be honest, you could adopt her eventually, considering she doesn't have any family members that she could go to..." said a black haired female officer with a lion's tail on her back
"Sure, we don't have a problem!" said Inko joyfully
"You heard that, Eri? You are going to be staying with us from now on, you are happy, right?!"
Eri looked up to him, while feeling warm in her heart, nodding firmly
After seeing that, Izuku lifted her off the ground and hugged her tightly
"Mmph...mmm...cff...iff..." was all the noise she could make, as Izuku smothered her, well he sure has taken after his mother alright...
"Izuku! Let poor girl breathe!" She said ironically
"Ahh! Sorry! Eri, are you okay?"
Eri was out of breath, but eventually recovered
"I-I'm fine..."
"Yeah, sorry..." he said sheepishly
Eri looked at him for a second before hugging him once again
"Eh?" was only thing Izuku uttered before sighing and returning the hug
After having done any needed paperwork and documentations, they left with Eri under the care of Inko as her guardian for now, it may take sometime for the adoption to take place, if they were able to have some sort of reason for the shie hassaikai to not be able to get her back.
They had to have a doctor check up on Eri, but she had trouble doing so due to her trauma but still let them do it, understanding that they aren't trying to harm, especially with her hero, his mother and friends by her side
There would be a huge raid in the shie hassaikai compound to night due to Eri's evidence regarding her abuse and the quirk erasing bullets, but also because of the suspicion of there being illegal activity near the compound. They have to make it fast so that they don't escape
At the apartments, the Midoriyas live, a few heroes and police officers were put due to fearing of there being some kind intruder. Aizawa especially was called, mostly due to his erasure quirk to help out Eri, in case her quirk goes haywire. Allmight had to go back too, so that he can participate in the raid either
"Sorry for making you all be worked up like this..."
"It's fine Eri-chan, it's not your fault, you know"
"Izuku is right, we aren't upset about you, it's just those bastards who were using you, however they wanted" Inko ended
Izuku and Inko would take turns staying up, to keep an eye out, with Inko watching over first, and Izuku doing it later
Izuku didn't go to school, and won't be going even tomorrow, because of this whole incident, having to stay by her until the raid ends, but also to comfort her
"Yes Eri-chan, we are also here for you either!" Nana said as she appeared, a long with the rest of users, including Allmight's vestige
Eri upon seeing them, got behind Izuku
"Ahh! Eri-chan, you don't need to be scared of them! They are basically a part of my quirk, if not my quirk itself, in a way" Izuku assured her
Eri looked Izuku with unsureness before subsiding it If they are his quirk, then they should be fine, right? I mean they don't seem bad to me...
"Sorry for being rude, but n-nice to meet you all!" she said nervously
"Oh it's fine, people tend to jump whenever they see us, or at least when hear that we are ghosts..." Nana answered
"Wait, you are ghosts?" she asked, surprised yet not scared or disturbed
"Yes we are, but don't worry...I like I said, we don't mean to cause you any harm, we are here to help and protect you! I mean, we are Izuku's quirk, you know..."
"Hmmm, exactly what Nana said" En joined Nana with reassuring expression
The little girl looked at them with an unreadable face, before bowing down and saying
"Thank you for looking after me, then!"
All of them looked at her warmly, with Nana stroking her head
"Sure Eri-chan, you are welcome"
Eri tries to smile, but couldn't
"Eri-chan...what are you doing?" Izuku asked
"I can't...smile...I want to be happy, but I just simply can't do it fully..."
All of them gained concerned looks, knowing exactly why she couldn't
By late afternoon, the raid had started with it ending at pretty late into the evening. A total of 45 heroes, especially from well known agencies like the Nighteye agency, Ryukyu agency and Fatgum agency, more than a 150 police officers and of course Allmight. While there weren't any fatalities due to Allmight's involvement, the raid was a partial failure due to Overhaul(as Kai is known as currently) along with the Eight bullets(men who are very loyal to Overhaul, due to helping them out), krono(A loyal assistant of Overhaul's), Mimic(the general manager of Shie Hassaikai, a dozen of other minor members and most importantly a case of completed deletion pellets were able to escape custody, while the remaining once were captured. They seemed to have realized the raid was going to happen, so planned out an escape via secret routes they already had. At the end, along with the captured villains, the compound and the underground hideout and the equipments they secretly used to do experiments with, were uncovered. They also found the true boss of Shie Hassaikai, in the comatose state, Eri said he would be in. Since the evidences have been found and the only remaining family of hers that could have taken being in coma, Eri can be adopted by the Midoriyas
Nearly two weeks have passed and over that time, Izuku's schedule was rather busy regarding training and studying for exams. So, because of this, he didn't get that much time to spend with Eri. They couldn't still make her smile, even after a week of trying, but then Inko had brought up something she apparently had in her mind even before this. She had planned of moving houses after a talk with Hisashi, a town near the mountainous area close to musutafu, with forests nearby. She first thought of going there, because of wanting have a more free and peaceful environment for Izuku and even her, but with Eri now, she has more reason to do it.
Izuku and Eri were perfectly fine with the idea. So, they prompted Inko on it. It could around a month or two to fully move out, if they lucky, so they started doing the preparations immediately
At the day of the UA entrance exams, Izuku stood in front of the school that, he always dreamed of joining
"Oh boy, it looks so amazing up front!" Izuku said in excitement
Hmm...we come here once again... said Yoichi in Izuku's thought, remembering seeing it through Allmight's time at the school
I worked up a new form for the past few days, from an idea I had long ago...it's a bit brutish, but Iike it a lot...
Izuku, are you forgetting that we can know about what you are thinking right? We knew about it while seeing through your memories...
Wait, you all were seeing through my memories?!
Don't worry kid, we weren't looking at anything personal or private, we aren't creeps, you know... Daigoro answered this time
Really?
Yes, really!
Okay then...
As he finished that conversation in his head, he proceeded take one step closer to achieving his dream...
...only trip on a step...
At that moment, Izuku's reflexes kicked in, activating OFA to use float, all while the vestiges' hands appear to stop his fall
Kid, be careful! Look properly before going Nana scolded him
Seriously...you've been training for this long now and you still tripped...at least be careful next time... Second too scolded him for his clumsiness
Yeah, yeah, sorry...I would be careful from now on...
"Woah..." a voice was heard from behind him, to which he turned
Finding a girl with brown hair, brown eyes and permanent pink blush on her cheeks. Her eyes looking like poorly drawn eggs at seeing the stunt he just pulled. Izuku was nervous at her stare
"That was so cool...that's your quirk, right?!" she asked excitedly
"Mmh...yeah, it is...it also has souls stored in it and those hands are a part of them..."
"Souls...wait, you mean they are ghosts?!"
"They were once people too, so yeah...although I can't exactly say how though...even my abilities are just their quirks, they used to have, essentially..." Izuku, after knowing that he would be getting multiple quirks, had to come up with an explanation behind it, so after some thinking with everyone, he came up with it being a sort of necromancy type quirk, which...to be honest isn't to bad of an explanation. And the name he came up was...
"It's name is Shinigami..."
"Oh..." was all she responded with
"I know, I know, it's sounds a bit edgy, but hey...it fits, you know?" he said sheepishly
"Ahh, no! It's fine...if it fits, go with it" she assures him, while showing a peace sign
Izuku released his breath at that, feeling relief, as he and the girl walk towards the entrance
"What's your name, if I may ask?" he asked
"Uraraka Ochako, what's your's?" she asked him back at the end
"Midoriya Izuku, and good luck with the exams!"
"Good luck to you too!
With that they went inside
Across the fake city built by the renowned UA, the voice of the hero Present Mic, echoed through, signaling the start of the practical exam as the teachers watched the participants run through the city to fight robots, while also helping each other out, in a monitoring room with a large screen, that had split up into smaller ones
Hmm...young Midoriya should have a pretty good time passing this, considering the amount of training he did...
"Allmight" came Nezu's voice bursting him out of his train of thought
"Uhh, yeah?"
"Look over there, would you?" pointing to a small screen near the left end
"Hmm...oh" was all Allmight could respond with, upon seeing the sight in it
Ochako was going through the city, touching robots to make them weightless, then pushing them up, before releasing her quirk to make them fall down
"That's 28 points...hah..." She breathed for a moment to relax, "I still don't have enough of it...I should get goin-" that's when she heard someone's pained cry
When turned towards the source, she saw a blonde haired boy with a feminine face and a belt with crystal on its front Must be a support item she thought, but what caught her attention the most is his posture, which being him having his hands to his stomach, closer to a building. Along with the pained noises he is making, Ochako went to ask about his condition
"Hey, are you oka-"
Just as she got closer, a big piece of concrete started falling over the boy
"Ahh! Hey! Move out of the way! Something's falling!" She shouted towards him
The boy groaned before looking up, eyes widened as be tried running, but due to his state, he had a hard time doing it, accidentally tripping and falling face first
The rubble was falling as Ochako was able to get close enough, with both of hands above her
"AAAAHHHH!!!!" the boy screamed for a few seconds only stop when he noticed that nothing was happening
"Eh?" he uttered as shadow was cast upon him, before looking upwards, seeing the rubble suspended in mid air
"Hah...hah...hah...I was able come fast enough..." Ochako breathed heavily while speaking
After moving out of the way of the rubble and releasing the quirk, to make it fall to the ground, Aoyama had thanked Ochako while bowing, multiple times rapidly
"Oh it's fine...by the way, why were you standing like that, before?" she said in embarrassment before ending with a question, her concern coming back again
"Oh that, yeah...I ended up using my quirk, navel laser too much, which causes me to have stomachaches..." he said while being embarrassed
"Oh is that so...wait, does that mean your belt helps you use your quirk?"
"Basically, yeah...I mean, my quirk tends leak sometimes, which is why I wear this a lot"
"Oh...that's sad to hear...but, it's all right, so long as you practice with it, I am pretty sure you could eventually control it properly!" she said in an encouraging tone
"Ummm...yeah...I hope I can...only time will tell..." he seemed nervous for some reason, before putting on a odd looking smug on his face and saying, "Well, je vous remercie! Au revoir and good luck!" he finished before running away, despite the previous stomachache
Ochako wasn't sure as to what he said at the end, but just assumed he was thanking her and saying goodbye
"Yeah...now I should get going and get more points..." she said to herself
Just as she started moving, she heard from behind the sound of something akin to buzzing of a chainsaw, along with the faint sound of an engine along with it. The sounds of metal being slice and grated along with explosions were heard
"What the-" when she looked behind her, she saw a sight that could only be described as nightmare fuel
What stood above a small mountain of destroyed robots was a beast with chainsaws blades jutting out its arms and demented chainsaw for a head. The front covering its head being light real, while having dark gray pointy and jagged fangs. The back of the head and to the sides being dark gray machinery parts, wires running along its neck. The three chainsaw bars being dark gray, while the edges where the chainsaw blades are supposed to be, instead being black. It looked like something out of hell itself
"Woah...that's scary..." was the thought she had upon looking at the person who transformed into that, while she sweatdropped
The demon's head had curved line like holes on its sides, resembling eyes. They lit up on the inside like green indicator lights resembling glowing pupils, it seemed to have noticed something behind the brown haired girl
"Crap, I can't wait like this!I have to search for more point!" Ochako exclaimed realizing her limited time frame, only to hear the sounds of one of the 3 pointers had snuck up on her, ready to attack her
"Yikes!" she cried out, closing her eyes as it went for the blow
Suddenly, a large dark tendril stuck itself onto the robot, from the direction of that mechanical beast, as the person themselves lunged towards the bot via the help of the tendrils that were coming out of him, and onto the bot
"Oh no, I am not letting you do that! Not in my watch!" The person, seemingly a boy that sounded familiar to Ochako, spoke loudly
As he was getting closer to his target, he opened his maw to whip out his dark and long tongue towards the left side of the 3 pointer, while doing a uppercut(quite literally) with his left arm
Ochako moved out of the way, so as to not be caught near the thrown away rubble of the 3 pointer, as he slid down the way front, stopping after a few seconds. Smoke spewed out all around of his body
"Ahhh...thanks for helping me, but I gotta go! Bye! And good luck, whoever you are!" she said while running and waving a hand held high
The demon looked at her going away as a voice came to his head
Well, it seems like you've done more than enough now, Izuku Yoichi said happily
Yeah, but maybe a few more should be fine... he replied back in his mind before moving forward towards the other robots
A week passed since the exams, with Izuku and his mother being anxious despite his good performance
"Goddamn, I can't wait to know about my results!" he said while looking at the dead eye of the fish he's been holding in his chopsticks to eat
"Izuku honey, I too am anxious either, but please! Stop looking at the fish like as if you relate to it, in some way or something..." Inko said in worry
"Midoriya-san is right, Izuku! You should finish your food, first instead of looking at it like that" Nana joined Inko while scolding him as she appeared from behind him
"Ok mom" he deadpanned probably towards both of them
"Don't 'ok mom' me, young man" Both of them scolded him in unison
"Okay, okay! I am sorry! I'll finish eating!" he said in hurry, starting to eat again
Inko sighed a bit, while Nana chuckled
"Eri-chan, is the food okay?" Inko asked Eri
The horned girl was looking at their antics all this while, while slowly eating her dinner
"Ahh! I-it's good, Inko-san"
"Mmph, good to know!"
And so they continued to eat while thinking about their own thoughts
The letter came while they were cleaning the plates and cutlery after dinner
Izuku kept on looking at the envelope that sat on his desk, in his barely lit room, all by himself(unless you count OFA)
"Ugh...here goes nothing"
As he said that, he tore off the opening of the envelope, only to see a metal disk fall out of it and suddenly project a video in mid air
"Bwahahahahaha! I am here as a projection!"
"Uwah! Allmight?!"
Surprised seeing him in the video
"I know you are surprised, young man! If you wanna know why I am here(hehe)...well, I am going to be enrolling as a teacher in UA!"
"Woah, really?!"
"I wanted it to be a surprise and there was also a lot of paperwork to do, so that's why I wasn't able to contact you for the last entire week"
"I see..."
"I'll say, you sure have made me prou-wait what?"
He was interrupted by someone off screen as he went near them to hear what they had to say
"Uh-huh, huh-uh, wait how many these am I supposed to do again? Oh well...I'll have to make this fast young Midoriya! So, when it comes to the written portion...you passed it with flying colors! While, the amount of villain points you've acquired through practical exam, have been counted to 78 points!"
Izuku was left flabbergasted at the score
"But! That's not all there is to the exam...what kind of hero school would we be, if we didn't recognize the heroic act of saving and helping others! Which is why there are rescue points, score given to the participants by a panel of judges who vote how many and how good your helping and rescues were! Which is why for you...60 rescue points!"
Izuku felt like he was, in some kind really good dream or something
"Kid, you didn't just pass the exam, you got 1st place too! You basically came in as one of the highest in the exams altogether" Allmight said proudly, "So, come...to your hero academia..." was the last words heard from the projection before it vanished as Izuku sat there for a few moments...
Inko was pacing around corridor near Izuku's room, waiting in anticipation of knowing whether he passed or not, all while Eri was just standing on the side with an equally anxious expression
(The door opened)
"Izuku! How did you? Did you pass?" She asked nervously, while Eri just looked at him with the same expression
The young boy looked at both of them with an unreadable face before it morphed into a sheepish look, as he gave them a small nod
Inko felt like she wanted to cry after hearing that, proceeding to hug her son in pride
Izuku didn't do anything other than let her hug him, while signaling Eri to join, which she did
"Allmight!" Izuku shouted towards the symbol of peace as he made towards him in the beach, unknowingly making the couple that were nearby in the pier, to start searching for the hero
"Eh-uh-uh-aah! Young Midoriya! Repeat after me! 'Ahh! It was just someone else!'"
"Ahh! It was just someone else!" he did as man said
"Ehh...I got worked up over that..." the man on the pier said in a disappointed tone
"I was excited for a second..." the man's partner followed up, as also she seemed a bit disappointed
"That was close young Midoriya"
"Yeah, sorry for that" he said sheepishly
"Sorry for not being able say anything by the way, I wanted to talk about alot of stuff, including about being a teacher, but again, I had a ton of work, you know..."
"No, it's fine...I get why, so don't worry about it"
There was a small silence before
"Young Midoriya?"
"Yeah?"
"I really wanna ask as to where you got the idea for that form you used in the exam..."
"Oh! That was something that was made up a few days before the exam, from an idea I had long ago"
"What is this idea, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Well...I always found characters in fiction, or or just any hero or police I. real life that fall into the category of intimidating or scary to be really cool, basically...I mean ones like Gang orca or you do really good job at scaring you know...so because of that...I thought of wanting to be a scary type of hero...at least towards villains that is...as for why chainsaws and all, well...I came up with it just days before the exam, realizing how intimidating a chainsaw is, both in terms of looks and how it sounds...of course, including the way it cuts too"
Allmight looked at him with his already shadowed face lacking his usual pupil that can be seen, before it came back with an understanding look
"I see...intimidation does do a good job at stopping villains...I mean that's how I do it, in general...just be sure that you can back that intimidation, though..."
"Yeah, I remember that"
"Well, I sure am proud of you, regardless!" he said after transforming again
"Thank you..." he felt happy at knowing he finally was able to be a step closer to achieving his dream, especially with the hell of his mentor and a quirk he always wanted to be like
"Hey, it really is Allmight there!" the man on pier said
"Wait, yeah!" the woman joined him
"Oh no...let's go young Midoriya!" he said as he started jogging away
"Ahh! Right!" Izuku followed suit
Allmight looked back towards his protégé while thinking For now...your power would be similar to a giant campfire at best, but eventually...it will grow into a raging inferno, while my flames die out as I disappear...yeah...that's deep...
The mentor and protégé jogged along the beach under the gentle light of the moon
A month later...
The Midoriyas were moving to the new house they bought in the place called Sanjin no machi or simply Sanjin town, after selling their apartment, while saying a tearful goodbye to it, due to the old memories it had
Due to being in a mountainous region, the town is pretty chilly even when it's supposed to be spring. Because that, wearing warmer clothes is highly recommended
The isn't too far away, considering Musutafu can still be seen rather clearly. There are train stations that take people in and out of the town to other areas, especially Musutafu
The town is on the larger side when it comes to its size, with a population of 50,120
The town's name was based off of the folklore about the mountain god that supposedly resides in a shrine.somewhere within the mountains nearby and that most people tend to not live close to it, due to the amount of bad stuff that have happened
Izuku,his mom and Eri had finally arrived at their new home, after doing so multiple times before for the sake of bringing the furniture and fo other stuff...
"Izuku, you took out everything, right?" she asked as she got out of the taxi that rode them here, all the way from the train station
"Yeah...that seems about it..." Izuku said as he carried a gray bag over his right shoulder, while holding onto Eri's hand with his left hand
"Eri, do you feel good here?" Inko asked the girl
"I mean, it does seem peaceful..." she says while closing her eyes for a few seconds, then opening them
"Mmph...great to know" Inko replied before looking around to notice a few heroes roaming around the streets close by
Their new home was in area where it's mostly just forest with houses usually in groups of 2-3, with separated by 10s of meters of trees and plants
Their own and only next door neighbor seems to be a small family similar to them
Their home was a 2 story building with brown shingles lining up the roof, white painted walls, window frames light brown, due to being wood. The two houses were only separated by short wooden fencing in between. There was also chimney jutting out on the top of the roof
The neighboring house was also a 2 story building, with the same kind of shingles and window frames
The Midoriyas ended up setting everything up by late afternoon, with Izuku taking the upper story room
"Mom, I am thinking of walking around here with Eri for a little, perhaps even visiting the shrine nearby"
"Is that so? Sure, it may give you two a bit of time to relax, so go ahead"
"Eri, you coming?" he asked her
"Sure"
After that, they went on their walk
Izuku and his adopted sister are walking along the path where shrine can be seen, as Yoichi appears
"Hey, Izuku?"
"Yeah?"
"I see a ghost standing really close to the Miko(shrine maiden or young priestess) there" Yoichi said, while also looking at the girl a few times
"Wait a sec" he says before activating OFA to 0.1%, which also ended up strengthening up his danger sense enough to register the small amount malice from the spirit, "Yeah, I can see that and also danger just went off...but what about it? I mean, sure! I am going to go get rid of it, as it is dangerous, but...there seems to be something else you noticed, I am gonna guess"
"Yeah...that girl...she looks pretty fearful and looking away, to be exact from.the ghost, almost as if she can see it..."
"I guess...yeah, I should check on her"
And with that, the siblings went towards her
Yotsuya Miko was a girl, who never would have guessed that her life would take for such a drastic turn, when she one day starts seeing things that most people can't, ghosts. It started a week ago and hasn't stopped at all. She thought of joining the Shrine nearby her home, as way to find any help she can, while using it to also relax from them
But, right now...she was in a situation where there is goddamned ghost right by her, staring deep into her own soul
Why doesn't it go away?! she thinks
"Hello" she heard the voice of a boy and turned towards him
