Chapter 21 – Prize

"Midoriya, my boy. I have something very important to tell you" – Said All Might through the phone.

Izuku was at his house. He just finished his shift and was sitting on his bed. He had received Toshinori's call right after changing his clothes into something more casual and fitting to stay at home.

"Sure. What is it, All Might?" – Izuku answered.

All Might seemed to be happier than usual.

"Well… I am going to… Marry." – Yagi dropped the bomb.

An awkward silence filled the room. Izuku was processing what he just heard.

"WAa-!" – Izuku almost screamed but muffled it not to disturb his mother. – "That's so good, All Might!" – Izuku finally answered. – "But who are you marrying?"

"… Secret." – Toshinori answered the curious boy - "I am inviting you to the wedding. It is going to happen in the 23rd, or in 15 days. Oh, and you can invite one more person." – All Might added.

"Sure…" – Izuku answered.

"Thanks, Midoriya. See ya later. I have to start preparing myself… I will send you the details later." – All Might said. He was a little anxious but hid it well.

"Thank you, All Might, and see ya."

After that, All might hang up. Izuku was alone with his thoughts again.

'I will invite Ocha. No doubt… I wonder what her reaction will be when I tell her that…' – Izuku thought.

…

"WHAAa-!" – Uraraka screamed, only to be muffled by Izuku's hand.

"Don't scream. I almost did too…" – Izuku said, calming her down.

Izuku dragged Uraraka away from the other people on the break. He needed privacy to tell her that. Nobody would want rumors about All Might's marriage, would they?

"So… You're inviting me to his marriage?" – Uraraka asked him, still trying to process all that happened.

"Yes. He said I can invite one more person, so I figured I would invite my girlfriend~. " – Izuku said, making both of them blushing. Even though they are a couple for a week, they are not used to it at all. Even if Uraraka takes the lead, she is still surprised by those occasional remarks that Midoriya says.

"Geez… How could I say no? I will accompany you, Izu." – Ochaco answered.

"Yay!" – Izuku happily smiled. He looked like a kid right now.

And so that school day went well, but All Might was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, he was preparing for his marriage.

Izuku was laying on his bed, thinking of that necklace.

'I know it is just a necklace, but… I just want to show her how much I care! I am just following her lead, leaving this relationship in her hands. I have to change. I will, and this necklace will be the proof of it.' – Izuku thought. He was determined to do so.

Good thing that after his next pay, that was tomorrow, would complete the amount needed: 100k yen (Around 900 dollars). Yes, it is very expensive, and he had to do extra-shifts to get close to that, but he did it nonetheless.

'I will buy it tomorrow!' – Izuku decided, getting pumped up for the following day.

So with that decision, his eyes – now heavy – closed, as he drifted to dream-land.

Izuku was walking on the streets, searching for that shop. He already received his pay.

He stopped in front of a shop and looked at the showcase, seeing that the necklace was still there.

'Score!' – Izuku did an internal victory scream.

And so the green-ish haired boy walked inside the shop.

As he stepped in, he looked around and noticed that this place was pretty welcoming and sophisticated at the same time, and also had various sections to various products.

'This place seems nice…' – Izuku complimented inside his head.

"Hello, young sir." – Greeted an old man with a butler outfit. He seemed very dignified.

"Oh, hello sir." – Izuku politely greeted him back.

"What would you want to see?" – The butler questioned Izuku.

Izuku remembered that the necklace was at the showcase.

"Um… I would like to see the necklace. If I remember correctly it is the one with an oval shape and pink ornaments… I'm sorry that I don't know the right terms for said items…" – Midoriya politely said what he wanted.

"Sure. It is the pink opal. Wait here for a second, I will bring it here." – The butler said bowing.

The old butler left, and Izuku just looked around. He noticed pretty beautiful gemstones, necklaces and all kinds of jewelry. It was pleasant to the eyes.

After a couple of minutes, the butler came back, bringing the necklace.

"Here it is, young sir." – The old man presented the necklace to Izuku, as he carefully picked it up and examined it.

"Yes. This is it." – Izuku stated – "If I remember correctly, it should cost 100k Yen." – Izuku indirectly asked him.

"Correct." – The butler nodded.

After that small talk with the butler, Izuku walked up to the cashier.

BANG!

A loud noise echoed throughout the room, surprising everyone.

A person with dual pistols appeared out of nowhere. He shot the ceiling to call attention.

"I will take the jewelry, and no one shall be hurt." – The robber said with a deep and intimidating voice.

Izuku looked to his sides and saw that the other people were desperate and afraid.

'So this is what is happening after All Might's fight against All for One…' – Izuku thought.

It is true.

If the world doesn't have All Might, the crime rate will just raise.

'I will not disappoint you All Might.' – Izuku thought, gaining determination.

Without hesitation, Izuku dashed towards the bandit with unimaginable speed and kicked him in the guts. His Full Cowl was at 60%.

The villain seemed unfazed.

"Oho~? A kid trying to play hero?" – The bandit said, surprising Izuku.

The robber quickly threw his gun upwards, grabbed Izuku's right ankle, twisted him as to make Midoriya look down, dropped him and kicked him at the bottom of his back.

"GWAH!" – Izuku screamed in pain.

The gun fell, and the villain grabbed it.

Izuku teleported above him, kicked his back and backed away.

'It seems like physical contact won't affect him.' – Izuku quickly remarked.

All of Izuku's known quirks were useless in this situation.

"Oh boy… So much to learn." – The black-with-a-white streak haired bandit spoke – "I will teach you that you have to be realistic. You can't defeat me." – The robber said.

Suddenly the villain started to grin repulsively.

"I will teach you now… By KILLING this person in front of her son!" – The villain spoke.

No.

"I will count to 10, and shoot. If you can 'pass' this, I will let them live. Now do something. HERO"

'I have to do something.'

"10…"

'I have to stand here.'

"9…"

'If I don't do it…'

"8…"

'Who will?'

"7.."

'I have to help them.'

"6…"

'But how?'

"5… 4… 3.."

'I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!'

"2-"

Izuku's legs moved on its own. His mind was no longer in complete control.

His hero instincts were taking control.

He kicked the villain so hard that he broke the wall, flying outside of the building.

"YOU WON'T…" – Izuku's voice now was so heroic, everyone in the scene was calmed down.

The One for All user teleported in front of the villain, that was unscathed.

"DO ANY BAD TO THEM…" – Izuku continued, as the villain trembled.

He grabbed the bandit by his neck and lifted him.

"ANYMORE!" – Izuku said as the villain started to glow in lime green.

After a couple of seconds, Midoriya released the villain, only for the said villain to try and activate his quirk – Shadow Bind – but to no avail. The villain collapsed right after that frustrated attempt.

And that's how Midoriya defeated the bandit.

After that incident, Izuku slowly approached the gemstone and found it broken.

'Ugh… I couldn't do anything about it… I will pay them for the gemstone, and go back home and try to get enough money to buy it again.'

Midoriya walked to the cashier and brought the gemstone with him.

"I-I'm sorry… I broke it in the midst of that confusion…" – Izuku said dejectedly.

The cashier looked at him and saw that he was the one who stopped the bandit to steal the place and kill the woman.

"No need. I will ask for a new one as we have spares. You deserve it." – The cashier said giving the green-ish haired boy a warm look.

"N-N-No, b-but I-" – Midoriya stuttered.

"You saved us. It is the minimum we can do. I will call the manager, wait a second." – The cashier said.

After a couple of minutes, the cashier appeared with an old-ish man with a great physique behind her.

"Hello, young hero. I sincerely thank you for what you've done, and as the minimum that we can do, we will give you whichever gemstone you want." – The manager said.

Izuku was just happy.

He could get the necklace for her.

His girlfriend,

Ochaco Uraraka.

Izuku left the place with the necklace he wanted to buy, for there had spare ones.

As he was walking home, he thought:

'I will decide where to give this necklace to Ocha. I want it to be special.'

And Izuku walked home safely with his prize:

A gift for Ochaco.
