Izuku stood with Kaminari and Momo as the intermission between the race and the second event finished up. He was pleased to know that pretty much all of 1-A made it through the race. Some had shown some impressive results to their training.
Like Tokoyami who for a good portion of the race was flying through the air, though he couldn't sustain it in the direct sunlight for that long. Or Tsuyu who's speed and jumps had improved enough that she was in the top 20.
It was nice to see that they weren't going to settle for only training when at school but in their own time.
"Now! Let's begin with the next event: The Cavalry Battle!" Announce Midnight while displaying a score board with all the top placers.
Izuku skipped reading over most of it to notice that he was worth 10 million points, which basically meant that he was going to be the target for the entire event. Great.
"Now you'll need to find groups, the rider will have the total number of their teams' points on a headband. The four teams with the most points at the end move on to the finals! Get to work you have 10 minutes to team up!" Midnight announced with a crack of her whip.
Izuku turned to Kaminari, "Team?" He asked hopefully.
"Nope!" Kaminari said with a smile, "You beat me last round, I'm aiming for you this time." With that he walked off to find his own team.
Izuku looked over to see that Momo was also moving away with a determined look in her eyes. Izuku sighed, he really needed a team and it would seem that his target made most want to go after him rather than work with him.
"Heya!" Shouted a voice from behind him.
Izuku flipped around to notice the pink haired girl grinning at him as she rushed towards him. "Let's team up!"
"Really?" He asked, completely nonplussed.
She nodded vigorously, "Yep! All eyes are one number one and I want to show off my babies!"
So, I'm being used. I appreciate the honestly, I guess. He thought with a sigh. "Ok, then we need two more people."
Izuku scanned the crowd, most were paired up but he noticed a few that gave him some ideas.
Miruko sighed lamely as she sipped on carrot juice, "So a team battle…really taking me out of this festival."
Ryukyu peered over at her with a raised eyebrow, "Oh, you'd prefer they not test the children's team capabilities?" She asked despite knowing the answer.
The Rabbit Hero snorted, "Yeah, I couldn't care less if these brats can work as a team! I just want to see some action!"
Endeavor glanced at Miruko, "That's because you're only interested in violence. Rather than the important aspects that it takes to be a hero."
"Yeah, and you're the shining example of what a hero should be?" Miruko questioned with a glare.
Endeavor glared at her, "I am a far better one than you, someone who only cares for thrills."
The rest of the room looked uneasily at the exchange as it was getting more and more heated, no pun intended.
"You know I heard some rumors about you over the years! Didn't you ruin your fa—"
Hawks shot up between them, wings spread wide. "Okay! Let's just calm down before something violent happens." Causing both heroes to sit back down.
Hawks looked back and forth between them before he sat back down himself. He didn't really care that they would fight, he was more worried about Rei and the haunted look that came to her eyes for a moment. Clearly, she wasn't comfortable around Endeavor when he got too heated. He too had heard rumors and his connections in the Public Hero Safety Commission confirmed some of them.
Seemed that Endeavor and his wife were quite the power couple back in the day. Both with ambition to rise to the top. Endeavor as a hero, ideally the number 1, and Rei wanting to rise from the poverty of her birth family. Business partners turned life partners and a wedding eventually came of it.
First few years were happy from what he was told. Then Endeavor discovered the true distance between himself and All Might. The anger of his constant failures caused him to turn to his oldest son, a boy with stronger fire than Endeavor from birth. Some say it was an accident, some a rage filled outburst from Endeavor, but one thing was certain. An entire mountain was burned by blue flames and Toya Todoroki was pronounced dead.
Marriage became strained and the info gets murky but Rei suffered a mental breakdown after permanently scarring her youngest son's face. Endeavor committed her to a psych ward for years and she was only just released.
Hawks' eyes narrowed that was the story he was able to put together over the last few weeks. But he wasn't sure, it all seemed off. Why would Rei come back in the first place? Why would Endeavor apologize to All Might? Hawks doubted that was the full story and he was far too curious not to want to get to the bottom of it.
Meanwhile, All Might looked at the Todoroki's with a sad frown. He felt regret on his part in their argument. While he doesn't feel the events in their family were his doing, he didn't help either no make it easier.
'You inherited your father's stubbornness and mothers drive to succeed, young Toya. I could see their pride in you when they introduced you to me. I could see their anguish when you died. I should have seen the darkness growing in Endeavor, or the instability in Rei. Your brother has suffered and is still suffering.'
All Might looked down at the field, most of the teams were established and they were waiting for the next event to start. The bicolored boy was looking at nothing as he waited likely lost in his thoughts.
'I hope you could forgive an old man for not seeing the state of my student till today, I promise I'll do what I can for your little brother, Young Toya.'
Sato stretched his arms with a huff, "Surprised you asked me to join you!"
Midoriya smirked, "I think you have some serious potential. You as well, I mean you flew!" He said while looking at their last member, Tokoyami.
The bird of darkness nodded, "Through the powers of darkness I have achieved flight."
"He means I'm carrying him!" Shouted Dark Shadow.
"Yes."
Midoriya nodded, "Cool, Tokoyami you're up-front Mei on the left and Sato on the right."
They got into their formation while Izuku was lifted up to be the rider. He tied on his headband and huffed; this was going to be a game of keep away for the most part, but he was pretty sure it was pointless. The headband was only a couple grams, it's impossible to take it from him.
"All we have to do is defend and ward off big attacks that can knock us over and cause us to lose."
Sato flexed, "No worries I got sugar to spare! We're going to be solid, then it's to the finals!"
"The darkness is our ally." Added Tokoyami.
"Yeah! I was born from it!" Shouted Dark Shadow.
Mei giggled as she adjusted her gear. "As long as my babies are there to shine!"
Midoriya smirked, his team was quite solid. Sato's strength will be a strong foundation. Mei had gadgets and wouldn't go away if he asked, so he was stuck with her regardless. Finally, Tokoyami was a nice mid-range combatant with a near impossible to predict move-set.
Bakugo's team was impressive: Sero, Mina, and Kirishima. Close, mid, and long-range coverage between them and just the sheer ferocity of Bakugo leading them was terrifying. Todoroki had Momo, Ida, and Kaminari.
Midoriya glared at his sparky friend, "So you go to his team!" He shouted out with a mock glare.
Kaminari grinned, "Hey he's got nice coverage and you're the person in first place! So, I'm taking you down! No hard feelings buddy!" He shouted back with a smile.
"And you?" Midoriya shouted at Momo.
She actually looked sheepish, "…You're in first." She said with a shrug.
Typical. He constantly suffers for his success. At this point he should fail something so his friends would actually work with him.
Uraraka was on a team with a Class-A Class-B hybrid make up. She, the orange haired girl, metal guy, and Jiro. Interesting team but she was supporting the orange haired girl with a smile.
"Now let's kick this off!" Shouted Midnight getting the crowd to cheer.
"We have a solid mix of teams here! Any comments Eraser Head?"
"No, not really."
"You heard it here folk, Class 1-A's teacher is not helpful whatsoever!"
"That's hurtful."
"Will you add something, then?"
"Well, you interrupted me when I tried to tell everyone about my new cat—"
"And I'll stop you right there again! Kick it off Midnight!"
Midnight, really everyone in the arena, gave unimpressed stares at the commentary booth for a solid minute.
"…Well, let's go! Second Event of the Sports Festive: Cavalry Battle, Start!" Shouted Midnight to the roar of an excited crowd.
Sato chomped down on some sugar cubes before slamming his foot down on the ground cracking the foundation causing the teams trying to attack from that side to lose their footing. Midoriya compacted as much air as he could and shot it off like a shockwave on the other side buffering the approaching storm of students.
Mei grinned, "Now here is baby number 134! The buffer mist!" She took out several metal ball and threw them out in front of them in a half circle. A silver fog erupted from the devices completely hiding them from view.
"What is that made of? The chemical compound is strange?" Asked Midoriya as they moved away. Dark shadow was far above keeping a bird's eye view.
"My baby's unique! It can, not only obscure view but it's heavy and hard to move through, not to mention it sticks to clothing and tastes pretty bad!" Laughed Mei as she observed her tools field applications.
"I'm borrowing it!" Midoriya said before focusing on another team in his blind spot.
This time it was a team led by the purple haired student that declared war on them.
"Fumi, more students at 4 O'clock." Called out Dark Shadow now having noticed the purple haired team.
The purple haired boy glared at them, "You think your purple chicken calling us out makes a difference?"
"What did you just call me!" Shouted Dark Shadow.
"Bring me your headband."
Izuku wondered why the boy would just say that when he noticed Dark Shadow blitzing towards him.
"Tokoyami!" Shouted Midoriya.
Tokoyami's face was stuck between pain and fear unable to control his own movements, "I don't know! I can't stop him!"
Izuku raised his arm to block Dark Shadow's initial assault before punching it away. It seemed the pain from the attack was enough to knock them out of their stupor. Both Tokoyami and Dark Shadow looked dazed but no longer out of control.
Izuku managed to turn to see the purple haired boy in his face reaching for the headband.
His hand wrapped around the headband cause Izuku to look at him with a grin. "Tell me your name!"
The boy looked at him in slight wonder as he tried to pull the headband but with no luck. "I told you and the rest of your class a week ago!"
"I didn't care then because it was just barking!" Izuku's grin became sharper and a large gash appeared on his cheek causing a steady stream of blood to fall from his face.
"You're insane!" The purple haired boy replied when noticed the new wound, "You realized my quirk and knew pain could undo it…Hitoshi Shinso!" He answered a small grin taking over his face.
"You won't make it far today unless you go after another team!" Said Izuku with yet another gash appearing on his face and his grin becoming more excited. "You're an interesting guy!"
Shinso's small grin widened further as he looked wondrously at the boy who was slashing his own face without even a sign of discomfort. "You are too."
Izuku created water and sprayed Shinso's team and then blasted them with freezing air causing them to lock up and shiver uncontrollably. Sato stomped again and the team moved away following along with his momentum.
The arena was chaos, most of the big teams were focusing on racking up a lot of points and not on him. Seems most were aware that getting his headband was going to be a tall order when most didn't know his quirk or were his class and knew he was going to be a pain to get through. That being said.
A massive wave of ice rushed them and Izuku created a wall in front of them of his Ice-to-Vapor barrier.
Izuku shook his head, "I feel like I need to remind you once again that ice isn't going to work buddy!" He shouted.
Todoroki's team became visible through the cloud of dust and mist. The bicolored boy glaring at him manically. Momo and Kaminari looking at him with determination and Ida was amping himself up for something.
"I refuse. I won't give up!" Along with Todoroki's proclamation with a massive wave of ice that covered the ground and avoided Izuku and his team for the most part. Then two large glaciers rushed them from either side.
Izuku made another wall but found that he was being spread thin and was unable to do anything about the incoming mini missiles from Momo.
"I've got-" Started Tokoyami before he was interrupted by Mei.
"NO! I've got it!" She shouted, somehow looking ecstatic that missiles were coming her way. She pulled out a handgun shaped device with three barrels and shot them into the air.
"Say hello to Baby #140: Anti-Air Armament Assistant!" She exclaimed as she fired, from the barrels came a huge spread of bead like pellets that shot toward the incoming missiles and shredded through them setting off the explosion's midair. "They are small devices I made that magnetize towards the types of metals typically used in missiles then shred them in the air before they can cause damage!"
Momo pouted at her attack not working, Todoroki was switching it up and send smaller fast bursts of ice at them in wide unpredictable angles that was really starting to annoy Izuku. Tokoyami and Sato waited for either their chance to attack or prepare for when they'll need to defend.
Ida's face hardened and his mouth moved but Izuku and his team couldn't hear what was said, Kaminari's face relaxed as he focused, and Momo closed her eye for a second.
"Get ready." Said Izuku, "Feel like they're about to do something. Sato get another stomp ready, Mei reload that gun thing-" "BABY!" "-right, Tokoyami be ready to adapt."
It was at that moment that Ida made himself known, his legs lit up and blue flames sprouted from the back. Kaminari on the flank began sparking with golden streaks of lightning and team Todoroki blitzed forward at speeds only Izuku was able to follow.
Todoroki met his eyes and for an instant the world stopped. Izuku, for the first time since school started really looked at his classmate. He didn't look angry, he didn't look even remotely worried about the festival or event, any of it. If Izuku could put his finger on it, he'd say that Todoroki looked...
Sad.
Izuku didn't acknowledge Sato smashing the earth around them with a stomp, Kaminari stabilizing team Todoroki, Tokoyami sending out dark shadow only for Momo to produce several LED bulbs in front of her forcing the shadow creature from advancing.
All he could do was stare at Todoroki, who, for every millimeter he move closer to his headband he became less and less worried. That being said, Izuku's arm shot out incredibly fast and snatched all of Todoroki's headbands he had secured around his neck while his was taken by Todoroki.
Time resumed at a normal pace for Izuku as team Todoroki passed by them with the rest of Ida's special move.
"Midoriya what happened?" Shouted Sato when he noticed they lost the 10-million-point headband.
The green haired boy looked down at the headbands he stolen with a frown. "I'm not sure, I think I got distracted." He shook his head, "Doesn't matter, I'll get it back right now."
Izuku raised his arm and grabbed his headband with his quirk, Todoroki looked down in surprised before clenching his fist and encompassing it in ice. Izuku started to vaporize the ice when…
"STOP!" Shouted Present Mic, "That's the event ladies and gentlemen!"
Izuku blew a raspberry in frustration, "That's on me, we should have enough to proceed." He assured them.
"Let's tally up those numbers everyone!"
Everyone turned to a big digital screen where the results were shown and the top 4 teams and the ones to go to the finals were revealed.
"In fourth place we have Team Itsuka with a very nice to see interclass team make up!" Announced Present Mic, the crowd applauded the team consisting of Itsuka Kendo, Uraraka Ochako, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, and Kyoka Jiro waved to the crowd with varying degrees of awkwardness.
"Then Team Midoriya! They were in first the whole time before a classic Ida speed blitz changed the game!"
Izuku and the others waved to the cheering crowd, the others looked thrilled while Izuku was busy looking over at Todoroki who was staring at the headband in his hand with a blank expression.
"Then to no one's surprise Team Bakugo! This hurricane of force and aggression has every headband that the other three surviving teams aren't holding!"
Bakugo, Sero, Mina and Kirishima all grinned at the cheering fans basking in the glory.
"Finally, the team to end with the 10-million-point headband! Team Todoroki!"
The crowd exploded for the winning team, Todoroki seemed unfazed while Momo, Kaminari and Ida were wearing large smiles as they waved to specific spots in the crowd.
In the Crowd…
Bakugo Mitsuki was grinning ferally as she grabbed and squeezed a lightheaded Inko Midoriya.
"See that? See that!" Shouted Mitsuki, "My baby is out there kicking some serious ass HAHAHA!"
Inko tried to get herself under control as the nerves of seeing Izuku in such a violent environment was getting to her. Not to mention Mitsuki was shaking her back and forth quite a lot.
"Yes, he certainly did very well!" Inko told the pound mom with a smile.
Mitsuki finally let go of the woman with a smile, "That boy of yours is as impressive as I thought after that villain attack on TV. I mean I never thought that shy son of yours was such a badass, but he really is! I can see why Katsuki respects him so much."
That surprised Inko, "Izuku always said Katsuki hated him and was very vocal about it." She said with wide eyes. It never made her happy that the son of her best friend didn't like her son, but Izuku never said it really upset him or bothered him, so she didn't really mention it.
Mitsuki snorted, "That boy is, what was it the kids call it…tsundere?" She said with a snicker, "If my son goes out of his way to train as hard as he does for months all the while mentioning the same name over and over. Then he acknowledges them as special."
Inko's face must have shown her astonishment as Mitsuki full out laughed, "Yeah, he's a wierdo. No idea where he gets it though…" She said with a frown.
"Yeah…" Muttered Inko. You're both too much.
Nanayo Yaoyorozu smiled at seeing both her daughter proceed to the finals and that wonderful Midoriya Izuku proceed as well. Honestly, they were a handsome couple, even if her daughter didn't have the experience to close the deal with the boy who also seems incapable of following through.
"Young Ms. Momo has truly come into her own. Hasn't she Mrs. Yaoyorozu?" The man next to her said. He was in a fine pressed custom suit with a small pair of glasses on his nose. He was Mu, the family butler- or head butler rather- and one of Momo's trainers.
"She indeed has Mu, I worry for the next part, the one-on-one tournament."
Mu chuckled, "I don't see the reason, Young Ms. Momo is perfectly capable of going toe to toe with any of these young heroes. After all…she's a walking armory." He finished with a grin.
VIP Section
Miruko looked down with a growl. "Ok what am I missing? Midoriya didn't even fight back when matchstick junior got close." That was far from the fight she wanted.
Ryukyu hummed in thought, "It would seem he saw something that threw him off maybe? Getting caught up in one's head isn't new or anything. Better to get such a thing out of his system in training than in the field." She said before taking a sip of her water.
All Might agreed with the dragon woman, "That is most likely correct, Young Midoriya is the type of hyper fixate and overthink situations. That being said he thrives in combat, so we'll see him cut loose soon!"
Endeavor and Rei looked down at their son both proud that he managed to come first. Rei however was worried about the turn of events. She didn't take her eyes of her son the whole time and saw his face when he charged the Midoriya boy. Her son was slowly losing himself to his anger and pain, she wasn't even sure what drove him anymore.
Endeavor squeezed her shoulder and she nodded, now wasn't the time to think about family issues, they were in public, and appearances needed to be maintained. She stood up to see if she could talk to her son before the finals, Endeavor watching her go with a frown.
After the final 16 were announced Izuku walked off to think, he needed to get his mind right before the finals otherwise he was going to lose. Right as he turned to walk down one of the tunnels he was met with his bi colored classmate, his hand still clenched around the 10-million-point headband.
"Midoriya." He said with a. frown. "We need to talk."
Izuku looked at him for a moment before sighing, "Yeah, I'm thinking we do."
Todoroki glared at him for a second before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, "Why? How was it I was able to take this headband?"
Izuku looked away, "Something in your eyes through me off. This whole time I thought pride drove you, that my beating of your ice was the force pushing you. But if anything, you looked sad, you looked worried about something, and it shocked me enough to lose focus."
"I don't have pride." Todoroki said with a frown, "I thought I did for a while but, I ended up being wrong about a lot of things."
Izuku waited for Todoroki to continue because he was too curious not to know what was going on in the monotone boy's head.
"Tell me, do you know what quirk marriages are?" Izuku's eyes widened, "That's right, my father's fire and my mother's ice. I'm the perfect combination. My family has many problems, from my father's obsession in surpassing All Might to my mother having a mental breakdown and seeing only my father in my left side to the point she threw boiling water at me." He said while gesturing to his scar.
"What…" Muttered Izuku.
"I thought my mother was a prisoner due to my father's fortune, buying her hand for a quirk marriage… BUT I WAS WRONG!" He shouted, his voice echoing off the tunnel walls. Izuku's eyes widened in surprise having for the first-time hearing emotion in Todoroki's voice.
"She wasn't a victim of his greed. They worked together! She was just as obsessed with success as him! It wasn't till my oldest brother died that she stopped being so obsessed with image and success. I dedicated my life to being a hero that surpassed my father with just my mother's ice to spite him and to honor her. That if I showed him that I didn't need his fire to be number one then he would feel like even more of a failure. Then she comes back, the doctors say she's recovered enough to see my father and they actually reconcile!" Todoroki said fuming.
"Now I don't know what's going on! Why would she come back to that house with my father?! Why come back to a place that caused her such duress that she had a breakdown causing her to scar my face?!" Todoroki's eyes shined with emotion, Izuku was sure that he was barely keeping himself together.
"Because if it wasn't my father that was pushing her…if it wasn't his obsession that I didn't know she shared. What if it was me?" He whispered while looking at the floor.
His voice became soft as he continued, "I wasn't the best at the beginning, it took me a while to use my mother's ice while I took to the fire quicker. What if she was angry at my progress rather than my father? What if it was because I wasn't good enough? That's why I couldn't accept it at the battle trials, that's why I need to use her ice, I need her to know that I'm good enough." Todoroki said quietly, finally finished and was trying to catch his breath.
Izuku felt his heart break at those words. This was far from what he thought this conversation would be about, he would also bet that Todoroki didn't plan to share all of that and as soon as he started the rest spilled out until he was done.
"I don't know your family." Started Izuku, "But I have seen obnoxious and aggressive mothers" He said as he thought of his aunt Mitsuki, "Business focused and successful mothers" he said while thinking of Nanayo Yaoyorozu. "Soft and nurturing mothers." He said while thinking of his own. "But I know that all of them would kill for their children and while they may not show it every day that won't change. So, if your mother spent years in a ward recovering from a mental break to come home then I think she did it for you."
Todoroki's eyes misted as he glared at the ground, "Then why won't she even look at me? No matter what I do, why is it whenever I look to her, she's looking away?"
Izuku placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, "I don't know. But maybe you need to have a talk with her like this. For as long as you let yourself jump to conclusions then the worse they'll be."
"Tell you what!" Izuku said loudly with a grin, "Not bragging when I say I'm the one to beat here! So if you put up a decent fight against me then I'm sure it'll be a good conversation starter."
Todoroki snorted, "You're on Midoriya."
Izuku leaned forward, "Do my eyes deceive me? Or are you sporting a small smile?"
"I'm leaving." Said Todoroki as he walked off with a twitching mouth.
Izuku sighed before walking off in his own direction.
Neither boys going down another tunnel path where around the corner was a white-haired woman who came to speak to her son before the finals, who came to encourage him and just be around him for a moment. Neither boys noticed that she had slid down the wall as she listened on in horror. Neither boys noticed that she was silently sobbing into her hands by the end of it. Neither boys noticed Rei Todoroki finally learning what she did to her son.
End Chapter.
That was fun! Sorry for the long absence but I'm rarely free to relax much less write these days with work. I work in tech sales and shit has been wild these past few months.
Anyway, got to address a lot of the comments from last chapter. You idiots love jumping to conclusions! Just because I said I'm buffing everyone doesn't mean they are all as strong as Izuku! Like what the hell are you people on about, I'm expanding everyone's potential so that they can make things more fun. If you think for a moment that Izuku is any less of a BAMF or that everyone and their mother are on the same level as him all of a sudden then you dummy dumb. Come one, look at this story and ask if I'm the type to throw logic out tha door for no reason.
It may be an AU but come on, think people THINK. *Omni man reference*
Anyhoo kisses everyone I'm gonna go read one punch man some more that shit is amazing!
Review Responses:
Wstiglet: Excuse me, but may I enquire for some more of this amazing story please? Thank you!
My Response: Well here ya go.
Z-Zen1: Nooooooooo! I caught up :'( That aside I really like the direction the author went in regards to amplifying quirks. The omni-telekinesis (or it should just be renamed to Matter Manipulation maybe) is the way that a nerd would interpret telekinesis. I love it. Kaminari isn't that surprising as lots of fics make use of it but it is a pet peeve of mine that the show never made this power up. I loved the improvement of Ochakos quirk which makes it a lot more useful and should enable her to make a lot more progress with her quirk. Momo's really starting to think outside the box due to meeting the genius Izuku. She's starting to realize that she is a Pro Hero and a Support item creator in one rather than just creating weapons on the go. I can only imagine how much she would improve if she studied at I-Island with fellow geniuses. Bakugou is a lot more bearable in this AU and its making him grow closer to his true potential quickly. I don't know what improvements have been made to Iida tbh I'm just glad that he done well in a race for once. Idk about Todoroki. Apparently Endeavor has started his redemption arc early and is on better terms with Rei so I'm sure Todo must have several different motivations in this story for not using his fire (on top of the abuse). Maybe in this AU he knows Dabi is a villain and refuses to use his fire because that's what his brother is using as a villain? Idk but his fire aspect of his quirk should have been dealt with when Midoriya showed how he couldn't be touched.
My Response: Thanks for the kind words, Yeah Uraraka having both sides of gravity just makes sense to me, making things float is just boring IMO. Bakugo is honestly Vegeta post android arc, he's a dick but a well meaning one. Todoroki was addressed here, this was something I thought of a while back. Momo is awesome and being around Izuku really did give her a push. I like the upgrade ideas you through out, especially Ojiro because it looks so ridiculous in my head.
Demonic Rebel: This story was honestly one of my favorites, but after this chapter i have been completely thrown out of the story. The buffs that you handed out are honestly ridiculous. Like I can understand making them stronger but this is just obnoxiously fast. I mean Ochako of all people ending up in the fight for first. I love Ochako but even if you have her training more after the start of UA there is no possible way she could get to that level that fast. Especially since there was NO setup for it. Kaminari is more understandable since we saw his training before UA but from everything we know about Ochako she was no stronger at the beginning of the year than her canon counterpart. I can definitely get that they needed a boost but it should not have been this drastic. Make the pros a lot stronger to increase the overall power of MHA to be appropriate for this Izuku and speed up their growth but don't just drop a metric ton of power boost over a couple months at most. I wish you the best with this story but I don't know if I'm gonna continue reading. It honestly feels to me like it belittle the effort that Izuku put in in this story over a decade, along with the risks to his health to get to his level only to have them randomly get supercharged and get years worth of training in a couple months.
My Response: Nah that's wrong. Uraraka who you latched onto for some reason, can basically fly. Also the end brawl was just a chaotic free for all no one was all out fighting. It was purely about mobility, there were quite a few people not in that brawl that would have cleaned up as you'll see in the finals. If you stick around. Don't care either way but I didn't drop a bunch of power ups that make Izuku's progress pointless. There were two weeks before the festival and this is the results of that and Izuku obviously improved, come one man think. If you want it to take years for people to improve and dozens of chapters go write that story yourself. If I make it a point to mention everyone training then there are gonna be results.
