Chapter 23
To Ochako, saying that today was a rollercoaster of emotions was an understatement, finally getting back from internships was good, a little normalcy from the school was what she needed or at least that's what she thought until she saw her blue-haired friend in the classroom, a big part of her was happy that he returned to class
A smaller part of her was mad with Iida for what he did and for a second debated with herself if throwing him to the sun would make her feel better, she was about to talk to him when the cap he was wearing on his head made her stop. He then turned towards her, bowed deeply, and apologized. The small part of her that was mad at him evaporated in a second and she quickly gave him a hug, she still was confused by the cap
When Aizawa arrived and told Iida to lose the hat, everyone laughed at the seal on his forehead, Even Aizawa sensei seemed to hide a smile into his scarf. Ochako laughed knowing that Izuku probably put the seal on his face as a punishment of sorts
After the normal classes, they went to a rescue scenario with All Might, she managed to win first place in her group, which made her happy. Then she got nervous when the teachers mentioned the finals were in two weeks
So Ochako walked towards his apartment with conflicting emotions in her heart. She was really happy about winning the exercise that her teachers put them through, on the other side she couldn't stop the nervousness in her heart thinking about the finals and finally, Izuku's absence throughout the day made her feel really sad
"I know he said he was doing all right… okay I can't say that without imagining the smirk on Todoroki's face" She shook her head "I know he said he was okay but… still want to see him" Ochako muttered he looked to the sky, took a deep breath, and whispered "I want to see you"
"Who do you want to see?" Ochako screamed when she heard Izuku's voice behind her
"NO ONE, NO ONE! MY DUCK PET BACK IN MIE!" Izuku raised an eyebrow while looking at her crimson-red face
"Huh you never talked about a duck pet… better show me some pictures later" Izuku smirked but then froze when a pair of arms wrapped around him
"I'm so happy to see you" Izuku wasn't sure if she could hear the erratic beating of his heart
"I'm happy to see you too… I'm sorry for not coming sooner" Ochako's face heated again when Izuku started to pet her head whit his right hand
"Don't worry about it I know you have to take a rest… thank you for keeping me informed by messages though" She then turned her head a little towards Izuku's left arm and cringed "I'm so sorry you had to go through something so horrible" Izuku shrugged
"A little sacrifice like this means nothing if I get to save one of my friends" Izuku hugged her a little tighter "I don't mind staying like this all day, but I want to talk to you about something kind of important"
Ochako hesitated for a second, for some reason she really didn't want to break the hug, but after a couple of seconds she took a deep breath, hugged him tighter, and took a couple of steps back. Her heart swelled when Izuku didn't release her hand
"What I'm about to tell you… you're probably not going to believe me-"
"I trust you Izuku, if you say you're telling me the truth, I trust you" Ochako interrupted him, Izuku smiled softly at her
"Okay let's move to a more secure place" Before Ochako could ask where they were going, both of them stood in the middle of a forest
"Ermm, I said that I trust you Izuku but why are we in the middle of the forest?" Ochako looked around confused
"Welcome to Mt. Myōbokuzan Ochako, home of the toads and the place where I trained" Ochako had a lot of questions but decided to wait until Izuku explained himself. Both walked in silence Izuku enjoying the face Ochako made to everything around them. When they finally entered a clearing, they were received by a beautiful sight
Eri was running around chasing Gamabu, the small toad who normally didn't show any expression right now seemed happy, Eri's laughing behind it was like fresh air in the hot summer. On the left side, Inko was having tea with Fukusa sensei and his wife Sakura
"Let me introduce you to my family Ochako" She just nodded "Well you already know Eri and Gamabu, the beautiful woman with the green hair is my mom Midoriya Inko, she is having tea with my sensei and his wife"
"Your sensei?" Ochako raised an eyebrow "Are you talking about the talking Toad?" Izuku laughed
"Yeah, most of the Toads that you find here can talk, so don't say anything about them because they most likely understand you" Ochako nodded slowly "Yeah Fukusa sensei taught me a lot of what I know"
"He… teach you how to use your quirk?" Izuku turned a little bit serious
"That's the thing Ochako… I'm quirkless"
"Izuku I've seen you spit fire… you teleport more than you walk!"
"All those feats are not because of a quirk" Ochako looked confused
"Then how do you do all that?" Izuku took her hand again and pulled her to sit down in front of him, he was grateful that she didn't release his hand
"I use chakra" Ochako didn't say anything prompting him to keep talking "It all began when I was four years old… the day the doctor said that I was quirkless"
And then again, Izuku recalled his story, the broken dreams, the bullying, Minato's cave, his first steps awakening his chakra, his failures, how he told his mom everything, the meeting with Fukusa sensei and his training. Finally, he talked about his fight with Stain and why he went to those lengths. Meanwhile, Ochako just listened silently her brown eyes never leaving his green ones
"And that's my story… I know is difficult to believe, that it sounds like something out of a manga but that is my life" Izuku chuckled a little and stopped talking waiting for Ochako to say something, instead he was tackled to the ground and manhandled by a hug that he was pretty sure was a move she learned from Gunhead to knock someone out
"Thank you for trusting me with your story" She took a step back while Izuku took a deep breath "You're more amazing than I thought Izuku!"
"You think so?" Izuku wheezed
"The world gave you a bad hand to play and you said "not today bitch" and learned how to use a forgotten power, from a book nonetheless! And you became one of the strongest people I know! And you're still growing stronger! This could be a kick-ass movie!"
"Thank you Ochako for not seeing me differently"
"Don't be dumb, of course, I see you differently!" Izuku frowned a little "I admire you even more now! You're putting the bar way too high!" Izuku's laugh and Ochako's exclamations finally drew attention from Eri and Inko who were the only ones that didn't notice the teens talking at the entrance of the clearing
Eri ran with all the might her little legs could muster and missile herself toward Izuku who caught her easily
"ZUKU YOU'RE BACK!" she screamed hugging him tightly
"You saw me like two hours ago Eri" Izuku laughed softly
"Too much!" Eri turned to Ochako and her shy nature flared "Who is she?" Ochako used all her strength to not giggle at the failed attempt of whispering Eri did
"Let me introduce you Eri, this is my dear friend Uraraka Ochako" Eri narrowed her eyes in concentration, both teens could practically see the gears in her small brain moving. And suddenly something must have clicked because her eyes widened in recognition
"The one you called the most beautiful girl-" Izuku quickly put a hand on her mouth Eri
"Don't know what you're talking about Eri I didn't say anything ever!" Izuku's face fired up while he talked extremely fast, Ochako wasn't doing any better. Thankfully his mom came to the rescue
"So, you're Uraraka, my Izuku talks a lot about you" Never mind his mother came to dig his grave deeper "I'm glad I finally get to meet you" Ochako regained his bearings a little and bowed deeply
"The pleasure is mine, ma'am, Izuku means a lot to me too!" a bit of silence "I mean talks to me a lot too" Another bit "A pleasure to meet you, ma'am," she said with a squeaky voice
"Call me Inko dear, but please come to the table, we're having tea" Both teens walked robotically towards the table while Eri was enjoying herself playing with Izuku's hair
"So, you two finally decided to join us huh," Fukusa sense said smirking
"Leave them alone Fukusa, they must have been having a really important conversation" his wife Sakura scolded him "Please dear take a seat," Sakura said while offering Ochako a cup of tea "If you're hungry I can prepare you something quick"
"She's not hungry!" Izuku interfered and sent a wide-eyed look toward Ochako
"I ate a little bit before Izuku bring me here thank you," Ochako said trusting Izuku
"Are you sure? These roasted mealworms are really good" Ochako's eyes widened when he saw Inko eating said worms
"I'm good thank you"
"So girlie, I hope Izuku told you earlier but everything you've seen is forbidden to any outsider who is not in a contract with a toad" Ochako turned towards Izuku's sensei "This place is sacred and hidden to the outside world, you being here is something we allowed exclusively because Izuku trusts you deeply. But I must emphasize the importance of keeping it a secret" Ochako nodded
"I won't tell a soul, I promise" Fukusa stared deeply into Ochako's eyes for a few moments as if he was seizing something
"You managed to snatch a good one Izuku, she is allowed to come here whenever she desires. I as the chief of the toads grant her permission" Izuku's smile widened and nodded "I must go I have a reunion to attend. Please make yourself at home. Izuku, remember we have training tomorrow don't be late"
"You're training?" Ochako asked
"Yeah, but I can't tell you it's a secret" He saw Eri walking slowly towards Ochako her hands covering her mouth "You can't tell her either Eri!" Eri squeaked surprised at being caught, everyone laughed and continue talking for a while, nobody could blame Ochako for asking a lot of questions to Sakura who seemed excited to talk about the land of toads. After a while it was getting dark it was time to say goodbye
"I must insist that you visit us again Ochako, you're a delight to be around. Next time I'm going to prepare a feast so come with an empty stomach" Ochako saw Inko brighten up and Izuku make a quick prayer, leaving her intrigued and scared
"I'll come back soon I promise Sakura"
"Told you to call me Ma" Ochako blushed
"Yeah, I'll see you soon Ma" After that everyone said their goodbyes, and Izuku teleported them to his house, after saying goodbye to Inko and Eri who wanted to accompany them but at the same time couldn't keep her eyes open, both teens stood on the street in silence
"You don't have a seal where I live right," Ochako said
"Of course, I don't. That would be a complete breach of privacy" Ochako raised her gloved hand first and then raised an eyebrow "That's different and you know it!" she laughed loudly and started walking
"I don't mind you putting a seal in my apartment… but I don't want to risk my landlord getting mad and kicking me out, is a good place for a good price" Izuku nodded "How about you give me one of your kunai and I left it in my house in case of emergency" Izuku chuckled
"You're the second person to ask me for a kunai"
"Really who is the other one?"
"Eri, did you not notice the kunai on her belt?" Ochako focused a little
"Wait I thought that was a prop of a costume or something"
"Nope, I didn't want to put a seal on her and she asked for a kunai. Told her to be careful and to stab a bitch if necessary" Ochako giggled imagining the little girl throwing the kunai like Izuku, both kept talking all the way to Ochako's apartment, about everything and nothing just enjoying their company. Finally, thirty minutes later both of them stood in front of her place
"Guess I'll see you tomorrow," Ochako said happily while taking the kunai from Izuku's hand. Izuku sighed and shook his head
"Not really" Ochako frowned "I'm getting my prosthetic tomorrow" Ochako's eyes widened
"Shouldn't you be resting?! You're about to get surgery!" Izuku chuckled
"I have more than enough energy for the procedure and with the healing quirks of the people in the hospital and my sage mode, the recovery will be quick. But I still have to get accustomed to it and train"
"Wait Fukusa sensei said you had training tomorrow. Izuku, you need to rest before surgery no matter how strong or weird is your power you need to rest!" Izuku couldn't stop the small laugh that came out of his throat
"The training I'm doing with Fukusa sensei is not something that makes me lose much energy, don't worry, I promise to not overwork myself tomorrow if that makes you feel better" Izuku smiled at her
"Do you promise to take it easy?" Izuku could never lie to those brown eyes of her
"I promise" Ochako nodded satisfied and hugged him again. Izuku quickly wrapped his arms around her, and put his face on the crown of her head "Everything is going to be okay; I'll see you in a couple of weeks for the finals I promise"
"I'll see you in a while then. Still, you need to keep messaging me" she said taking a step back with a soft smile on her face
"You bet I will! Say hi to everyone for me!" Izuku turned and was about to flash away when Ochako stopped him
"Ah, I almost forgot! You should probably move the seal from Iida's face, I know you are kind of punishing him and I agree, but the poor guy seems devastated I'm pretty sure I saw him apologizing to the school rules and regulations book" Izuku laughed loudly
"I'll think about it I need to meditate if he has been punished enough," he said and then disappeared
The next day came and Izuku wasn't in class, but Iida walked proudly with his forehead clean and a new glove in his left hand
The written final exam was brutal almost everyone in 1-A would accept that as a fact. But the practical exam was something akin to a nightmare, the murmurs in the halls make everyone believe that they would be facing robots like in the entrance exam, when they reached the field all of his teachers were waiting for them
Apparently, they were deceived by the rumors, and their opponents for the practical exam would be their hero teachers, they were put in pairs and assigned one opponent with just one exception, Bakugo Katsuki who was selected to fight another student. Bakugo was about to complain but stopped himself when Aizawa told him that the student was the strongest in the third year. The closest to be the next number one Togata Mirio
That seemed to fire something in Bakugo who quickly told the third year that he was the real next number one, Togata just laughed loudly and said that he loved his spirit.
The battles were intense most of the students managed to snatch a victory except for Sato and Kirishima who fell against Cementos, Mina, and Kaminari who were overwhelmed by Nezu and Bakugo who couldn't even scratch Togata
Everyone was confused by him, he was untouchable and has the strength to break through buildings with ease, by the time their timer marked zero Bakugo was bruised all over while Togata seemed a little sick. Maybe a drawback of his quirk
Everyone was in the monitoring room waiting for their teachers to dismiss the class, most of them were chatting even the ones who failed only Bakugo was sulking in a corner
"I guess he didn't recover quickly enough," Iida said sadly "I really miss him"
"I miss him too, but he promised that he would be here… I still trust him" Ochako said firmly
"I mean I hope so too but he missed the exam," Kirishima said
"If Midori told Ocha that he would be here we should trust him… he would never lie to Ocha," Mina said wiggling her eyebrows. Before Ochako could say anything Aizawa appeared in front of them.
"We will have a talk about your performance tomorrow in class. Before you can go home there is one exam left to be held" Everyone perked at that "Originally you wouldn't be seeing the exam but the rat said it would be a good show for all of you. Now put attention to the screen" Aizawa pressed a button and asked, "Are you ready for the exam?"
"Yes, I am" Izuku's voice sounded in the speakers, everyone perked up but Iida, Kirishima, Ashido, Asui, Todoroki, and Uraraka actually stood up from their seats
"Okay for the final exam of the day" The screen changed and Izuku stood in the middle of the field waiting with a determined smile on his face "Midoriya Izuku vs…" On the screen, everyone saw a missile crash in front of Izuku "All Might"
xxx
Izuku couldn't stop the giddiness in his heart after seeing the amazing entrance of his idol, who broke the silence with his boisterous laugh
"I AM HERE TO TEST YOU YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might exclaimed
"Thank you for the opportunity sensei" Izuku saw All Might deflate a little while looking at his prosthetic. Maybe he was worried it would be damaged in the fight "Don't worry too much sensei, the support department really outdid themselves with this one"
Izuku shivered a little remembering how difficult it was to convince the pink-haired support student from adding a thermal blade or a guide missile launcher.
"Don't worry Young Midoriya even if this is an exam, I'll do my best to not damage it" All Might said in a more serene tone
"That won't be a problem" Izuku detached his arm and teleported it away with a smirk in the monitoring room Mina almost fainted when Izuku's arm appeared in front of her
"While I admire your determination, won't it be detrimental to your performance fighting with just one arm?" Izuku smirked and showed the metal plate on which his prosthetic connects, it had a kanji written on it
"Who says I'm going to fight one-armed?" Izuku took a deep breath "I don't think I ever talked about it but, even if I don't use a lot of techniques of it, my elemental affinity is lightning. Is just that lightning element is so destructive that I normally don't use it in fights" Somewhere on the field a shadow clone who was absorbing natural energy exploded activating Izuku's sage mode
"Lightning style: Chakra mode" All Might felt the hair on the back of his neck raise "I used these two weeks to create something to change that and use more of my lightning techniques. Is still pretty dangerous but, who better to test it out if not you All Might" Izuku said smirking
"Lightning Style: Raiga!" the sound of lightning being summoned was terrifying, not to mention the blinding white light, still All Might didn't let himself blink at the demonstration of power Izuku was giving him. His previously missing arm was no more, it was complete again, an arm formed by lightning was pointed directly at the symbol of peace
In the monitoring room, the silence was deafening, nobody could make a noise. The silence was only broken when Aizawa tapped the button again
"The rules for this match are different Midoriya, you have to avoid being knocked out for ten minutes to win. If you either knock out or capture All Might with the handcuffs you also win. There is no escaping simulation in this match… Begin!"
Izuku leaped towards his teacher closing the distance in a second All Might quickly regained his bearings and blocked the right hook aimed at his face, Izuku quickly rotated his body and delivered a kick that pushed All Might a couple meters back, his feet digging into the dirt.
Izuku didn't let him recover and leaped to the offensive again, kicks and punches were either blocked or dodged by All Might who didn't seem to be doing too bad but still wasn't able to catch a breath
Izuku sent a powerful strike with his left arm, All Might blocked it instead of dodging and he was sent flying a couple blocks away, Izuku saw him shaking his hand as if he burned it, then he laughed
"Have to admit it young Midoriya that technique seriously packs a punch!" Izuku smiled at the compliment "What do you say if we upped this a notch" All Might launched himself towards Izuku who meet him in the middle both their fists colliding creating a powerful shockwave that broke the windows of all the buildings around them "That's what I'm talking about let's do it!"
It was Izuku's turn to be in the defense and wait for an opening. All Might's flurry of strikes made Izuku feel like he was fighting a tornado, for every strike Izuku managed to get in, he received one in response. He really wanted to feel pride that he was fighting on the same level as the symbol of peace but he couldn't after all, All Might had restraining braces in both his arms and legs
All Might punched Izuku in the gut making him go through a building before he could follow Izuku appeared in front of him smiling. All Might didn't notice the kunai buried in the ground in front of him "What do you say All Might let's take this up another notch" All Might raised an eyebrow before his eyes widened
"Rasengan!" Izuku's attack hit All Might directly in the chest and the symbol of peace felt for the first time in six years how it feels to go throw a bunch of buildings, All Might finally crashed into the ground and shook his head to regain his bearings he then jumped towards Izuku who had a scroll in his hand. Before he could reach him Izuku managed to open the scroll and put his hand on it.
All Might's eyes widened looking at the web of seals that covered all the buildings and the floor around them he turned towards Izuku to deliver a powerful punch but he wasn't there anymore. His instincts screamed for him to dodge, so he did that and leaped away barely avoiding a giant fireball that came from behind him. He couldn't take a breath when from his left a water dragon was about to hit him
All Might punched the dragon that exploded, the hit was so strong that it turned the dragon into rain. He was confused when the water started to gather above him and saw Izuku standing on a building making movements with his hands "Water style: Needles of failing rain!" All Might's eyes widened again when he heard that he quickly covered himself as well as he could with his arms most needles breaking upon contact with the mountain of All Might still the few that pierced his skin made him grit his teeth in pain
When the rain finally stopped All Might took a deep breath
"All right it seems that I have to be more serious with you young Midoriya" All Might leaped towards Izuku who again disappeared. This time however All Might didn't stop his punch the building was reduced to shambles with a single punch
Izuku was confused, "what is All Might doing? He didn't need to destroy de building I leaped away with enough time" Before he could think anything else the symbol of peace was on top of him again throwing a devastating punch that put a hole in the ground and made more buildings collapse, for a few moments that's all they did until Izuku reappeared again on one of the buildings All Might destroyed only to be met with a powerful right hook that sent him flying away
"What how could he know-" Before Izuku could think of anything All Might was on him again, every time Izuku disappeared All Might was following him something finally clicked "He wasn't able to see me in time! Even if his speed with the restraints is amazing, he can't detect me like Stain did with the sage mode, so he just destroyed everything making a plain field, and buried my seals under the rubble"
"I have to admit Young Midoriya you making me destroy most of the field was not something I was expecting when I came here, but you just don't stay still you disappear and appear away from where we were fighting and I couldn't catch you quickly," All Might said while kicking a rock
"Is he pouting?"
"So, I had to take your stealth from you!" All Might said again in his boisterous voice "Come on Young Midoriya let's continue the battle between the symbol of peace and the future symbol of hope" Izuku could die at that moment either from happiness or shame that All Might remembered what he said to him when he turned OFA down
Both Hero and student leaped again against each other Izuku using the few Hiraishin seals that weren't under rubble to send attack after attack towards All Might who seemed to be enjoying himself too much. On one of their trades, Izuku marked All Might with a seal on his back and finally seemed to take the hero off guard, disappearing and appearing all over again using everything in him to hit All Might and disappear before the hero could defend himself
To the people in the monitoring room at first, it seemed like All Might was throwing punches in the air, only the small frames of Izuku punching, kneeing, or kicking All Might and disappearing half a second later stopped them from thinking that All Might lose his mind, a soft laugh caught everyone by surprise, only to be more surprised when they saw that Todoroki was the one laughing
"Midoriya my friend, I wanted to be on the same level as you… but we're not even playing the same game" The soft smile on Todoroki's face reassured everyone that he for some reason was happy for Izuku. On the other side, everyone took a step away from Bakugo who seemed a second away to immolate himself
Back in the field All Might was having an awful time "Okay maybe I angered him by enjoying myself too much, but he can't blame me! It's been a long time since I got to fight someone at the same power level!" After a particularly nasty punch from Izuku's lightning arm All Might had enough, he ripped the braces from his arms and caught Izuku by the leg, whose eyes widened before being thrown away with way more strength than before
"Okay, yeah, something is broken," Izuku said to himself in pain. He redirected natural energy towards his ribs "Ah that left me with almost no natural energy nor chakra" He jumped back when All Might landed in front of him like a missile
"Have to admit young Midoriya you're making me go beyond my limits is amazing I'm pretty sure that you'll turn into a fine symbol in the future!" All Might walked powerfully towards him even with all the bruises and thorn costume All Might still could put the fear of God in anyone "All Right what do you say, round three young Midoriya?" before Izuku could say anything a horn sounded in the distance and Aizawa's voice sounded in the field
"It's been ten minutes, Midoriya Izuku you have passed the test" All Might was about to say something but was interrupted by Aizawa "All Might you are also disqualified for breaking the restraining braces. We put those for a reason" All Might looked at his arms and his eyes widened
"When-!" then he remembered the kick that surely loosen up some of his teeth "Ah I… yeah… I'm sorry young Midoriya it seems that I got way too excited" He put his hands on his waist and laughed before a cough caught in his throat "CUT THE CAMERA!" All Might said panicking
"Done" was the last thing both heard from Aizawa before All Might coughed a bunch of blood and returned to his small form
"I severely misjudged our fight young Midoriya," The hero said while stumbling a little, only to be stopped by Izuku whose eyes again were green, and the lightning around him along with his arm were both gone "It seems that our fight took the two hours I had left for today, you're way more powerful than I thought young Midoriya!" Izuku shook his head
"Come on sensei let's go to Recovery Girl" All Might shivered
"I prefer if you let me here young Midoriya I'm too young to die!" Izuku laughed at his teacher's panic but still teleported them both to the heroine
While Recovery Girl was whacking them both with her cane, All Might couldn't stop grinning "Young Midoriya you put me in check at my 60% he really has no idea how amazing that feat is and he is still growing… knowing that Japan's future will rest in yours and young Togata's hands made the thought of my retirement more bearable"
"Sir Shigaraki seems agitated he is taking trips outside more often and forbids me to follow him, if you let me give my opinion you should have a talk with him," said Kurogiri. AFO hummed at the strange kind of concern Kurogiri was showing
"As I told you before Kurogiri, Shigaraki needs to step up on his journey to become the new symbol of evil… he is making a lot of mistakes lately… I don't like that" AFO could see something akin to concern in Kurogiri's yellow eyes "We'll talk about it later… open a portal for Garaki he seemed excited for some reason… Maybe a new Nomu" AFO said smirking cruelly.
Kurogiri opened the portal and saw Garaki walk through it he seemed… giddy. He was about to close the portal when Garaki stopped him
"Wait Kurogiri don't close it! The honor guest is coming too" If AFO could make any expression he definitely would be raising an eyebrow "Let me introduce you to the only precept of deaths that wasn't imprisoned, Deidoro Sasaki"
A man with black hair, dressed in a fur vest, and a white mask walked through the portal he was drinking from a bottle of alcohol and carried a small cooler in his right arm. The man froze suddenly knowing deep down he was in a dangerous place around very dangerous people
"Garaki… you brought an alcoholic?" AFO's presence inundated the room making breath difficult "You more than anyone knows that I'm not fond of pranks Dr."
"No master, please hear me out!" Garaki screeched in panic "He has something that I'm sure will change our future!" he prompted Deidoro to walk forward "Tell him, boy, tell him what you have in the cooler" Deidoro coughed resisting the temptation to take a gulp from his bottle
"Yeah… I worked for Overhaul and- and he was working on a project" The ominous presence of AFO flooded the room again "He was working in a way to erase quirks!" He shouted in panic
"I see… Garaki I don't really understand the reason for this. The last thing I want to do is to erase quirks" The doctor raised his hands
"Please master let him finish"
"So yeah he was working to do that… he was using the blood of a child who had a quirk that could rewind anything organic. The day Shie Hassaikai fell… I was in a bar drinking. When I came back to the quarter everything was flooded with police and heroes. I managed to sneak in using a hidden entrance, almost everything was being checked by them except for the blood samples" Deidoro said raising his cooler a little
"I took the samples and left quickly… honestly without the Shie Hassaikai I had nowhere to go, so I called Giran, and explained that I needed someone who knows about biology or something to offer them the… samples" Deidoro finished lamely
"Is what this… gentleman said true Garaki?" AFO sounded different, excited
"Before coming here he gave me a small sample of the blood" Garaki's eyes brightened "He is telling the truth. Whatever quirk gene those samples have, made the quirk user capable of rewinding any organic matter" AFO understood quickly why Garaki was so giddy
"I see… tell me Deidoro, what do you want for those samples?" The drunk shrugged
"Not much, a place to stay and booze" AFO chuckled and Deidoro questioned how he was capable to make a chuckle so sinister
"That's an easy demand you have a home in my… organization Deidoro" AFO turned towards Kurogiri "Take him to the bar Kurogiri, don't let Tomura dust him" Before Deidoro could say anything a portal teleported him away, not before Garaki took the samples from him
"What do you say doctor is it possible?" Garaki couldn't remember the last time his master sounded so excited
"With this amount of blood it will be difficult… but not impossible. If we had the owner of it I could do a lot more tests. But maybe If you let me use some of the amplifier quirk samples it would make the process easier" AFO's sinister smile widened before a chuckle escaped his throat
"Please use whatever you need, If we don't have it already just ask for it and you'll get it" Garaki smirked and was about to ask to be teleported away when AFO stopped him "I'm sorry for seeming so desperate my good doctor but, how many?"
"If my calculations are correct with this amount… I can take your body back ten to fifteen years back" AFO leaned back into his chair with a satisfied smile on his face
"That would be more than enough. Please Doctor make this your top priority" The doctor nodded and Kurogiri teleported him away"
"You're going back to your prime then Master"
"My prime is a lot more than ten years Kurogiri" AFO chuckled
"I'll go back to check on Tomura, Master" Kurogiri bowed
"Make sure that Shigaraki doesn't screw up again… If Garaki succeeds… I may not need an heir so soon" Kurogiri nodded stiffly and left.
"Oh, All Might, what would you say the moment you see my face complete again"
A/N
Four months later I'm back! I'm really sorry for the delay guys. Honestly, I don't have an excuse I just procrastinated a lot I had a rough baseline for this chapter since February, but I just didn't take the time to write it. I'll do my best to keep writing!
As Always please enjoy the chapter and as always I'm really sorry for my bad grammar. Getting classes is out of the window for me at least for a while.
Love you all :)
