Chapter 10

Izuku, Uraraka, and Iida were walking to the cafeteria with Izuku explaining to Iida why he didn't want the class president position while Uraraka just laughed at her friend complaints

"I told you Iida I didn't want to be president! I voted for you because you seemed really eager to take the position!" Izuku whined

"And I thank you for your vote of confidence but you were chosen in democratic elections! You should be proud of being the representative of class 1-A!" Iida said chopping the air with his arms

"Is not that I'm not happy that you voted for me, is only that, it is a lot of responsibility" Izuku said scratching the back of his head

"I won't lie it would be a lot of responsibility, but you have us your friends if you ever need help," Iida said and Uraraka nodded at him

"Thanks, guys I appreciate it a lot" Izuku was really happy with his new friends, Kirishima and Ashido were the only ones he had before, to be able to just… connect with people as quickly as with Uraraka and Iida it was a welcomed change. His train of thought was cut by said girl

"Is that a tiny frog?" she asked curiously and Izuku's eyes widened in panic. He leaped back and pulled a kunai out of nowhere

"Where?! Where is it?!" Izuku screamed with his eyes wide as plates

"Midoriya! What is going on, is something wrong?!" Iida asked startled

"Deku what are you doing?!" Uraraka felt scared at the sudden panic of his friend

"Where do you see it Uraraka? It was looking through the window isn't it?" Izuku opened one of the windows of the Aisle and poked half of his body out looking for his enemy

"What is Midoribro doing?" Kirishima said joining his friends with Ashido at his side

"Midoriya is on drugs I can almost smell the weed he smoked!" Iida said pulling his hair, Kirishima and Ashido just raised an eyebrow and turned at Uraraka at the same time

"We honestly don't know we were talking and then I saw a tiny frog outside the window-" Uraraka was interrupted by a very agitated Kirishima

"Was the small frog purple?!" Kirishima started to look around frightened

"Well… yeah it was a tiny purple frog"

"Midoribro that bugger is back! Don't let him escape!" Kirishima suddenly stood beside Izuku with his body poking out of the window

"I don't understand what is happening," Uraraka said softly while scratching the back of her head. Ashido just started laughing happily

"Don't mind them is just Gamabu, a tiny frog that Midori's sensei sends sometimes to watch over him" Uraraka and Iida looked puzzled but the boy decided to ask

"Midoriya's sensei sends a frog to watch over him?" Ashido nodded still laughing "And that has them on edge… why?"

"Well, Gamabu likes to spit water at them, first it was just Midori but for some reason, he started targeting Kiri too, it was really funny in middle school when we met for lunch and both were drenched and defeated" Ashido kept giggling an Uraraka joined her imagining the scene

"Should we help them?" Iida asked again

"Nah let them try. Let's get going to the cafeteria they will catch up with us later"

"I see it Midoribro is on that bush! Catch him!"

"Yes!" Izuku and Kirishima jumped through the window with their prey on sight when suddenly both screamed remembering that they were on the fourth floor

"Are you sure they're going to be all right?" Uraraka said barely containing her giggles

"They'll be just fine, they'll just be a little wet when they catch us" The trio walked to the cafeteria with the screams of Izuku and Kirishima fading in the distance


As Ashido said both teens catch up with them when they were about to sit down to eat… both with their faces and hair drenched in water

"So… do you catch it?" Uraraka said giggling

"Nope" was all that Izuku said sitting down

"I swear that bugger is getting faster every time it appears!" Kirishima whined and his friends laughed at their defeated friends. Izuku noticed the Hiraishin mark on the back of the hand of Uraraka

"Uraraka I have something for you" The girl tilted her head in confusion at first, then her eyes widened and she blushed heavily when Midoriya pulled out of his pocket a small green box

"Deku?! What are you doing? This is so sudden! We're so young!" Midoriya raised an eyebrow at Uraraka who was covering her face with her hands

"OH MY GOD MIDORI YOU'RE SO BOLD!" Ashido squealed in happiness Izuku turned at her with confusion written all over his face, Kirishima put an arm over his shoulder in a proud hug

"Midoribro you're the manliest man in the world, I'm so proud! I get to be your best man you have no choice on that!" Izuku's eyes widened finally catching at what his friends were thinking

"Midoriya I must congratulate you for this big step in your life, even if I believe is too soon I'm happy for you, I just hope this doesn't interfere with your grades!" Iida said nodding

"WAIT GUYS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! TELL THEM URARAKA WE'RE NOT LIKE THAT!" The poor girl was being held from floating around by mina "Ugh come just open the box please!" Izuku begged and after a few moments, Uraraka was seated again calmer but still very red on the face. She opened the small box and inside it was a folded pink fingerless glove. She turned at Izuku with a questioning gaze

"Is for your right hand, I know you said you want to keep my Hiraishin seal, but as Iida said yesterday it looks like a tattoo so I thought I would get you something to keep it hidden. Of course, you can say no! But I would like to keep the secret of my ability hidden for a little while" Izuku said scratching the back of his head nervously

"Why do you want to keep your abilities hidden Deku," Uraraka said while admiring her present

"A few reasons actually, but the two most important reasons are that I want to keep the chance of a surprise attack and… It seems pretentious that my seal is the word Hope" he whispered the last part and only Uraraka heard him, before she could ask about that Ashido entered the conversation

"Wait why didn't you just erase that mark and put it in another place more hidden?" Ashido asked

"I don't think my heart is ready for that" Izuku whispered lowly, Ashido was about to say something when the flustered Uraraka decided to change the subject quickly

"I love it Deku!" She has the glove on her hand now it was a soft pink and on the back of it had a metal plate "I look cool, don't I?" Uraraka said showing her new glove striking a pose

"Yes, yes you do," Izuku said softly smiling at her. The rest of the lunch was passing in peace when suddenly the school alarms went off

"SECURITY BREACH LEVEL 3, STUDENTS LEAVE THE INSTALLATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

"What does security breach level 3 means?!" Iida said shouting over the loud alarm

"It means that someone infiltrated in the school" A student to his right answered

Izuku was already running to the window to check about the possible danger, the rest of his friends were caught in a mob of people that were trying to get out of the building in panic, Izuku was slammed against the window by the said mob but his eyes never stopped looking for danger. A few moments later he saw that the press was the ones to breach into the school

He calmed a bit and tried to turn around to tell everybody about it, but he was trapped tightly against the window by the mob, he saw the panic in everyone faces and he couldn't help but get angry, he pulled out a Kunai from his back pouch somehow, and after a little struggle, he managed to throw it to the ceiling.

He appeared standing on the ceiling and only got angrier looking at the students tramping over each other. He took a deep breath and screamed

"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN! IS JUST THE PRESS THAT BROKE INTO THE SCHOOL, STOP THIS MADNESS RIGHT NOW!" His shout seemed to reach everyone because everybody stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him on the ceiling "You're supposed to be the heroes of the future… act like it" He growled and dropped over a table. A few moments later everyone left the cafeteria in a more orderly manner and Izuku joined his friends

"Amazing Midoriya, that's the reason you were chosen as the class representative!" Iida said proudly

"You were amazing Deku! Like a real hero handling a panic situation!" Uraraka said happily

"And now you have more experience than me calming the masses, you're leaving me behind Midoribro," Kirishima said with a false shame on his face and an arm on Izuku's shoulder

"I honestly didn't expect you shouting like that Midori, you're always so calm about everything!" Ashido said patting the falsely ashamed Kirishima on the shoulder

"Ah, sorry about that, but when I saw everyone just panicking and not caring for the rest I got mad" Izuku scratched the back of his head, suddenly the speakers of the cafeteria came on again

"Midoriya Izuku would you please report on the entrance of the school as soon as possible, Principal Nezu is asking for your assistance"

That made Izuku and his friends eyes widen in shock

"I need to go guys. I'll see you in our next class!" Izuku took off running out of the cafeteria to the entrance of the school. Leaving behind a very puzzled group of friends


Reaching the entrance of the school Izuku saw a group of teachers already there. Some of them looked at him confused, trying to understand the reason why Nezu called a student for, even All Might looked at him surprised for being called

"Midoriya I'm glad you arrived so fast!" Nezu chirped happily "We require of your quirk knowledge here, it seems that the ones that broke in used a quirk to destroy the gate. and it seems that it was a powerful one"

Izuku nodded and approached the destroyed gate, getting more questioning looks from the teachers except for Present Mic who send him a thumbs-up, and Eraserhead who just nodded at him.

Izuku got close to the door and started to watch for any information he could gather "It wasn't an explosion, the gate is at least fifteen centimeters wide of solid metal, the power an explosion should have to blow it to pieces would have destroyed the street too at least, so that rules that out, maybe it was acid? No, the acid would have left marks and melted chunks on what was left of the door" Izuku looked around the gate frame, and on a bottom corner he saw something "Is that dust? No… is metallic dust, but there is no oxidation in It" Izuku's eyes widened.

He walked to the rest of the gate and pinched one of the edges. It crumbled on his fingers he felt a chill run down his spine and turned to the teachers who were looking at him with astonished faces

"I murmured right?" Izuku asked embarrassed

"Yes, you did Midoriya, but it seems that you have a hypothesis" Izuku nodded and showed them the dust he just found

"This is metallic dust from the door, it doesn't have oxide on it so is not a rusting quirk, that means that whatever did this to the gate just... disintegrate it. I believe that the person who did this has a quirk that let him rot, putrefy or… decay the matter. How it works I couldn't tell but I didn't saw any other component anywhere, or a point on where the decaying started. So the person can either decay something with his sight" Everybody shivered at the possibility "Or needs to have contact with the objective"

"Both options are terrifying, Midoriya" The seriousness in Nezu's voice put him a little on edge "Thank you for your help Midoriya, we'll check if anyone with a quirk with those characteristics is on the police database, go to your classes and don't tell your classmates about your hypothesis, we don't want to spread the panic" Izuku nodded at Nezu and bowed before leaving

"Do you think he is right?" Midnight asked concerned

"Midoriya quirk analysis is the reason I took him as my pupil if he says that someone with a quirk that can rot matter did this, I believe him" Nezu still serious "I'll Make some calls we need to get to the bottom of this, all of you keep your guards up we don't know who or the reason for this, let's not get caught with our guards down" All the teachers nodded and left to their activities

"What do you think Toshinori?" Nezu asked the only teacher that stood there.

"Some dumb criminal trying to mess with us Nezu, I'm more impressed by Midoriya's skills. The kid analysis is kind of terrifying" Nezu couldn't help but chuckle a bit

"I'm just glad he is on our side, that brain on the villain side would make our job more dangerous"

The next day

Izuku and company were riding a bus heading to their rescue training, he was still thinking about yesterday situation, he didn't like to lie to his friends but it was necessary, when they asked about what happened he told them that Nezu asked for his assistance with his quirk analyzing skills, but told them he didn't found anything, thankfully his friends' attention was caught by the mention of his analyzing skills so the conversation turned quickly into Izuku telling them a few ideas he had for them, he was brought out of his mind when someone called him from his left

"Midoriya chan, I always say what I think kero" Izuku turned to his left and saw the black eyes of his classmate looking directly into his soul, now that he saw her face closely… he understood why he thought that Uraraka was talking with a frog on the quirk apprehension test! Her face weirdly reminded him about Fukusa sensei or the toads on Mt. Myōbokuzan

"Asui, Sorry I was lost in thought, do you need something?"

"Call me Tsuyu or Tsu chan" Izuku chuckled a little but nodded "I've been meaning to ask your quirk is weird, how you said you call it?"

"Energy Manipulation Tsuyu," Izuku said her name with a little blush while scratching his cheek a little nervous, Asui smiled at him

"Energy manipulation, that doesn't explain all the things we saw you doing in the battle exercise" Izuku knew that sooner or later all his classmates would like an explanation for his abilities, so he didn't hesitate to tell her the story he's been using for a while, after all, he wasn't lying beyond the fact that he didn't have a quirk

"Well you see Tsuyu, my quirk" He frowned a little, he didn't like calling his chakra and techniques a quirk "Let me manipulate and mold the energy in my body into different techniques, like the water blast I used on the practice battle, I molded my energy with the hydrogen around me and used my control to use it like a water cannon" Asui looked at him with those big soul searching black eyes and nodded

"Your quirk seems complicated, but what are those hand gestures you do before using any of your techniques kero?" Izuku was starting to sweat a little "She croaks too!?"

"Ah I call them seals" He made two seals with his hands for them to see "I use them to focus on the steps I have to take for my technique"

"You'll be an amazing hero Midoriya chan kero" Tsuyu smiled at him warmly, Izuku grinned at her and decided that he could ask questions too

"Tsuyu I have a question, do the words Fukusa, Mt. Myōbokuzan- " he couldn't help but narrow his eyes at the last name "Or Gamabu means anything to you?" from the corner of his eye he saw Kirishima stiffen, understanding why Izuku was asking her that

"I haven't heard those names before Midoriya Chan" Tsuyu said tilting her head. Izuku was freaking out a little "I can't read her expressions! But maybe she's not a spy… or is she?! I need to keep her under vigilance I can't lower my defenses maybe she is affiliated with Gamabu"

"I see, thank you Tsuyu" Izuku turned slightly to Kirishima and shook his head, the red-haired boy seemed to calm after that and continued their conversation

"Yeah, and his abilities are really flashy! He'll catch the eyes of the public as soon as he starts his hero career, I just have my hardening, it let me get the job done but it will be difficult to get the attention of the public" Kirishima said activating his quirk

"I've told you before Kirishima, you'll be an amazing hero and protector, you don't need to worry about flashiness, at the end of the day people will recognize you by your feats, not your quirk" Kirishima blushed at the words of Izuku, he sometimes forgets how Midoriya is always cheering for him

"My quirk is the perfect combination between power and flashiness," Aoyama said joining the conversation

"Yeah but your quirk also gives you stomach issues isn't it?" Ashido's words made Aoyama's face fell a little

"Sorry for that Aoyama, and thanks Midoribro, but you have to admit that having a Flashy quirk like yours, Bakugo's, or Todoroki's would help in the attention department" Izuku just chuckled and shook his head

"Yeah but with how loud and angry Bakugo is he will never be popular kero" Izuku's eyes widened when Asui said that without blinking

"WHAT DID YOU SAID FROG FACE?! YOU WANNA FIGHT?!"

Bakugo shouted from the back of the bus

"See what I'm talking about kero?" Izuku turned his head to the side to hide his giggling

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT DEKU?!"

"Everybody shut up we already arrived" Aizawa's voice cut all their talk. After getting out of the bus all of them were surprised at the sight

"Welcome to the unforeseen simulation joint or U.S.J. for short!" A person in a spacesuit welcomed them

"IT'S THE SPACE HERO THIRTEEN!" all the students shouted in glee, Uraraka was practically vibrating with excitement at looking at her favorite hero

"Welcome students here you'll train to deal with natural disasters and other kinds of situations in a hero's life, you'll need to learn all the ways to rescue people in any kind of circumstance!" The space hero said happily

"Thirteen where is All Might?" Aizawa asked, thirteen explained that he was tired of hero work raising three fingers, Aizawa just grunted, suddenly Aizawa's instincts kicked in and he turned to see a black portal opening in the middle of the square

"Everybody, stay together and here, Thirteen protect the students!" Izuku and his classmates looked at the massive portal below them

"What is that? Have the test started?" Kirishima asked.

Izuku for his part couldn't take his eyes of all the people entering the building through the portal "It can't be…"

"Nobody move, those are not part of any test… those are villains" Aizawa put his goggles on and prepared to battle


Another chapter is done, this is a more lighthearted one because the next two chapters are more action-filled

Hope you enjoy reading this one as much as I did writing it
