Well, I finally came back to this. I know it's been a while, but honestly, I have been pretty up and down in terms of everything, and I am now back in the mood of writing chapters again. While rereading the story, to get a refresher on my story, I realized I unintentionally predicted what Gloom could do to people, Link mainly, and kinda with weapons. I find it quite amusing that happened. Now, to answer some reviews.
ultima-owner: Toga won't be hit with Malice, simply because I just want to do something different with her. What it does to humans, and organics like animals, I will cover later on in the story.
Guest (Nobody Styles): The Blights will appear eventually, and they will be helpers for him, but when they appear in the future. The Yiga clan doesn't exist in the MHA universe, but it doesn't mean a similar style group won't make an appearance eventually, same with Koga and Sooga. As for AOC being involved, I did hint at it in chapter 2, what something from it will appear, but I don't want to spoil too much, other than yes, something is coming from AOC.
NOTE: This is after TOTK came out, and in case anyone does ask, I have an idea on how to incorporate it in the story, won't say what it is though.
readboi 24: Thank you! Your wish is granted, and another chapter is here!
"So All Might, you mind telling me more about the young man, Izuku?" Nezu, the rat bear quirked principle of the UA asks a sweating All Might, who is in his skeleton form.
"W-why would ask me that? I thought that you would look through the records about him."
"Ah I would, but something interesting is associated with those files. Aldrea High was taken down by you, and a few heroes for their illegal actions of quirk discrimination, knowingly hiding the attempted rape of a Third year student which, Young Izuku rescued from what one recording showed, and since Izuku happens to be from there, its quite interesting when known that you happened to be quite proud even if the others didn't notice, him save young Ochako from the Zero Pointer, almost as if you were happy for him on a personal level." Nezu says, sipping his tea.
All Might sighs, before looking at Nezu, "Yes, I know young Midoriya. I met him when I was chasing down a villain whose quirk made him from slime. I am sure you remember hearing that news report, but Izuku I hoped I could make my successor for One For All, but he declined it. But, we still helped each other, and I admit to the fact I still hope he will take it, even if he declined it, and that he helped me in learning to be able to teach, even if it's not on a level of a normal teacher. Besides that, he is a good man, who wishes to help others, but he was burned by those who were supposed to help him, and those his age, making him more distrustful of others, and more cynical. He's also intelligent, very intelligent, as he figured out my skinny form, with no indication or prior knowledge beforehand, based on a single glance." All Might sighs, looking at Nezu who looks interested in Izukus School File.
"Hmm, if you hadn't taken the school down already, I would have investigated them myself, as what you have told me doesn't line up with their records at all. Considering the facts you gave me, he would definitely need some form of counseling, and after that, he could make a great personal student for me, to hone his intelligence. Something like that, which isn't related to his quirk at all, and instead of it being his natural intelligence, is something I wish to improve on, and see just how smart he is myself. You already know he was accepted, but I still wish to tell you this. Based on what I have learned, and infer for myself, I say instead of hoping for him to take your offer of One For All, why not make him your apprentice officially?" Nezu says, finishing his cup of tea.
'Huh, I never thought of that. I mean, I did help train him to be stronger physically, and he wants to be a hero. I would love to give him One For All, but if I can't, I can always just make him my apprentice/sidekick to be the next symbol of peace. I trust him enough that I can safely say he would be great as a hero, and my replacement as a hero.' All Might thinks to himself, seriously considering Nezus words.
"You don't have to decide right now All Might, but I want you to consider it."
"I will Nezu. Thanks for the advice." All Might says absently. "Wait, won't this be viewed as favoritism?"
"Young Midoryia, 60 Villian points, and 60 Hero Points! Welcome to your Hero Academia."
The All Might Hologram says, before dissipating.
I stare at the projector, happy to have made it in, and the silence makes sense, with All Might becoming a teacher at UA and all.
My phone suddenly goes off, a message I just received.
It's from All Might. He wishes to see me at Dagobah Beach, to talk to me about something important?
Wonder what he wishes to speak about.
Arriving at the beach, the sun slowly setting, I see All Might sitting on the nearby staircase, looking at the sun while a couple seems to be on a date.
"You wished to see me, All Might?" I ask quietly, while happy to see him again, keeping my voice down to prevent a sudden crowd from appearing because his name was mentioned.
"Yes young Midoriya, I wanted to speak with you for a bit." All Might seems to stare at the sun for a moment, before turning to me, "You got in on your own merit, I had nothing to do with it. I also have an offer for you." All Might says, easing one worry for me about how I was accepted.
"All Might san, I-,"
"Don't worry young Midoriya, it's not about One For All. No, it's something else. I wish to offer you an apprenticeship."
An apprenticeship under All Might!? All Might's first and only Sidekick, Nighteye wasn't even offered that!
"I-I... I am honored All Might san. But wouldn't it be favoritism since you are becoming a UA teacher?"
"I talked it over with Nezu, and he said that apprenticeships are handled differently among teachers and students at UA, well with apprenticeships in mind. Basically, since you would be my apprentice, it wouldn't be odd for me to keep you around, and teach you things the other students wouldn't normally learn." All Might says to me.
I stare at him, feeling slightly guilty. "All Might, before I say whether I accept or not, I need to tell you something. Something I should have told you a few months ago, but got scared too," I take a shakey breath, trying to keep my composure, "I... I am actually quirkless. The power I said is my quirk, isn't actually a quirk. That's what the quirk doctor I saw told me, even showing the genetic, x-ray, and other types of tests that are designed to detect even the faintest possibility of a quirk. He found nothing," I started crying while telling him.
"He told my mother and me to lie about it, as the government would definitely do something with me, so I have to lie about it for my protection. I am so sorry for lying about it for all this time!" I cry out, not daring to look at All Might, in case he decides to Smash my face in with his bulk form.
About ten seconds after I finish, I feel lanky, but strong arms hug me. "Izuku, while I am upset, no, angry about you lying to me, but I can understand why." All Might says quietly, hugging me.
It goes on for a few minutes, and I am sure All Might's shirt is soaked from me crying into it, before he ends the hug, to look at me. His look isn't anger, but curiosity. "Is there anything else you kept from me?" All Might asks quietly.
I think about it for a minute, before realizing I never told him about the incident.
"There is one thing I do need to tell you as well. I am sure you remember the incident involving my former upperclassman, Muramoto Fusa, was," I shudder, holding back the emotion from that day. "attacked, well, my power exploded later that day, while I was trying to help her get home. The ones that attacked her tried to ambush us on the way home," Izuku shudders, his flame cowl growing darker, betraying Izukus rage. "and when they showed up, something Snapped within me, and everything went black."
Izuku full-on stops, trying to find the right words to explain the next part. "When I came too, Fusa-chan was behind a dumpster, hiding. She told me that I changed into a form that looked monstrous, about 10 feet tall, made out of Malice, and did something to those kids, but she never told me what. Only that it protected her, even though I was clearly enraged at the sight of them." Izuku finished, nervously looking at All Might's reaction.
All Might stares. After what feels like an eternity, he finally speaks.
"I... I see. I won't lie, it's hard to believe that, but I can tell you aren't lying about it. That form of yours sounds incredibly powerful, and yet, it could be used for a lot of good." All Might says, trying to comfort me.
"Just be aware Young Midoryia, you will have to learn to control it until you can use it on a whim."
"I... I understand All Might san." Izuku mutters.
All Might and Izuku both go back to staring out at the setting sun of the beach.
Izuku suddenly perks up, flame cowl brightening slightly.
"OH YEAH! Your offer for an apprenticeship! I wanted to say, that I accept, if you're still offering it after, well, that conversation!" Izuku mutter out.
All Might just chuckles, patting Izukus hair. "Of course Young Midoryia. Of course, I would still accept you as my apprentice."
In a room, a group of people are watching screens with the help of people who have quirks dedicated study and watching the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, one researcher, a female with blue hair and gold-colored eyes is staring off into space, bored out of her mind, when she hears a subtle spike of activity.
One thing about the researcher is that she has a quirk that lets her process information 10 times faster than the average Human, with the drawback of her getting bored extremely quickly, as well as an increased rate of exhaustion and need for rest.
She scrambles to look at her screen, only to gain a confused look.
"That's not possible. The Earth's crust has never done something like this, at least in recorded human history. It's shifting, but clearly unnatural, almost as if something is removing large layers of dirt, rock, and sediment without causing worldwide earthquakes, only minor seismic activity, and even then, the activity is akin to just the normal movements of the Earth's plates, yet its located only under landmasses and Islands, ranging for sizes of the entirety of Asia, to as small as Bishop Rock. Something anout this isn't right. I need to get my supervisor!"
The woman presses a button that was on her desk, giving her a direct line to her boss.
A deep masculine voice answers, "Nayru, what's the issue?"
"Sir, we have been detecting strange seismic activity underneath all landmasses across the globe, from as small to Bishop Rock, to the entirety of Asia. Its not natural, that much I can tell you."
"Hmm... Keep me posted on it, and write out a report on it. I want you to keep watch on it, and keep me posted, in case the worst could happen."
"Yes sir." Nayru says, before sighing after the connection ends. "Well, looks like I got a project for the foreseeable future. Yay."
So, I want to apologize for the abusrd wait/disappearance I went through. Too much happened, and for a while, I did lose interest in writing for a while.
Tears of the Kingdom brought my writing motivation back. It's a fantastic game, in my opinion, my top 3 Zelda games.
Anyway, I am back, and got the motivation to write stories again! I know the chapter was short, but I was stuck for a while on where I wanted this to go, but I am glad I got what I did want and added something I originally didn't plan on.
Win-win, a chapter completed, and something to look forward to in the future.
Anyway, have a great day, until the next chapter!
