"I… I can't believe I forgot about this…"
Izuku now stood in front of a place he thought he would never come back too.
His old school, Aldera.
"I'm surprised you forgot about it, shouldn't this have been one of your main concerns at this age?" Third asked, Izuku couldn't say anything back since he knew he was right, he had been too busy looking at the big picture, trying too hard to make a plan for the future that he forgot about the present.
"So, what's the plan?" First asked looking at him meanwhile Nana and his father were giving glares to the other kids that walked by, some snickered at him, others looked at him with disgust, he sighed, he needed to remind himself that he wasn't "Deku: Last user of One For All" but just... Deku, the quirkless loser.
Now, a plan sounded nice but he had forgotten about this so he had nothing to go off on so his best option was to just take a deep breath and try to fit in.
Izuku began walking into the school trying to ignore the whispers and laughs, t he other users quickly followed after him, the only one who stayed at the entrance of the school was Hisashi, he looked in surprise at how easily his son, the one who took him, the greatest villain, down put on a mask of a frail and scared child with such ease.
He had a vague idea of what his son had gone through since he had gotten pieces of his memories when he gave him his quirk but since the transition was forced, he didn't have the ability to just see his memories like the other vestiges but with this, the laughs, the whispers, the looks, he could easily figure it all out.
In his time away from them, Inko regularly called him, sometimes he answered and others he couldn't, it depended on his schedule of stealing quirks and plotting All Might's demice.
One day, Inko had called him, he was still resting from his fight with All Might but he still wanted to hear her voice so he let her go to voicemail since he could barely use his vocal cords, she told him about how her day went, asked how his job was, how her relationship with her friends was but through it all he heard as her voice shaked until she finally spoke of him, Izuku.
The news were not good, their son was quirkless and they were both in pieces, he knew about Izuku's dream of being a hero even if it pained him, he could never say no to his bright smile when he talked about helping others, she broke down into sobs as she poured her little heart out to an answering machine and all he could do was listen.
That had been the only call in which she talked about that but he could clearly hear the stress in her voice but even with that burden on her she always gave it her best for their son.
Now that he looked at how his life went with that curse he couldn't help but feel… guilty.
He may have had one of the strongest quirks that have existed, he may have lived for more than a century but even with all of that, he was still a first generation.
His genes were those of a first generation so if he ever were to have children, the chances of them being quirkless were astronomically higher than any other in this day and age so for some reason, even if he knew that he couldn't have done anything, he couldn't help but feel guilty since he had already ruined his child's life from the start.
Izuku kept walking around the school as slowly the layout of it came back to his mind, he tried walking without catching much attention but it was hard since the other kids kept going out of their way to trip him or call him names, he had already been tripped twice in the way to his classroom.
"These kids are completely rotten" fourth said, looking at the kids laughing at him as he picked up his things from the floor.
Its okay Izuku thought, thankfully he could talk to them in his head or else people would definitely think of him as insane which was not something he needed added to the list I'm used to it
"That's the problem kid, you shouldn't be" Nana said as she walked next to him but he froze once he saw the door to his classroom, the one he spent four years being tortured but there was one thing that made him walk in.
And those were the red eyes that immediately centered on him.
His childhood friend, his best teammate and his bully, Bakugo Katsuki.
To be completely honest, Izuku would be in tears from seeing his best friend once again after seeing him die but he was a little busy by the pain of being kicked to the ground by that same person.
"Well look who came today, little nerd Deku" Bakugo stood in front of him looking down at him with a wicked smile on his face as behind him the other students in the classroom laughed "It seems like yesterday's leason was not enough for you so how about we give you another one?" his hand lit up with light as sparks began to fly like little fireworks, Izuku still wanted to cry and he couldn't help the small tears forming, don't get him wrong, these were happy tears but the situation really helped to hide their meaning.
Everyone stopped when the teacher walked in and looked at the students, when he looked at Izuku, instead of tired they just looked annoyed and they only let out a sigh as they put their papers on their desk "Izuku please don't annoy Bakugo so early in the morning" The teacher said placing the entire fault on him, slowly the students got to their seats including Bakugo who gave Izuku one last look which quickly gave the message that this would continue.
Izuku got to his own seat and got his notebook, no one ever paid attention to him and the notebook incident wouldn't happen until a few more years so he decided to bring his newest notebook, he had called it 'notes for the future' so that it could be passed on as one of his hero analysis ones but in this one all he had been writing was his plan from his past memories.
"I can't believe the teacher just ignored you like that, isn't their job supposed to help their students?" His father said with anger and confusion as he glared at the teacher, fourth scoffed.
"That would be the case but with Izuku having the label of quirkless, even the teachers think of him as worthless, and with the strongest kid in the class hating his guts, the other students have no other choice but side with him and ignore him or join in" Izuku frowned, it was true that most of the other kids ignored it when he was beaten down or joined in when they had the chance, but they were just scared, they were scared of being targeted if they were kind to him so they chose the safe option.
Izuku focused back into his notebook where his notes where, they were divided into two, the section based around Shinsou and the other one based around Toga, he had been thinking about the best way to approach both of them and he found that the best way to approach the blonde would be when she left school and for the hypnotist, that one had become a little more complicated but if he played his cards right, he should be able to gain his trust quickly.
Looking up information on Toga's school was less than legal since he needed to hack into various different websites to find information on what school she was in, he wasn't entirely proud of having hacking skills since he didn't want to go against someone's privacy but he convinced himself with this being for the greater good, he had discovered that she left a little later than he did but the walk he would need to do between his school and hers was still long meaning that he would need to leave as soon as possible.
Shinsou would end up growing up with the idea that his quirk was evil and thus he hated the idea of people with much stronger quirks and the years it took for someone to help him created deeply rooted trust issues and a darker look on heroes, so a good start would be to make him understand that his own power could be used for good and try to get him a new house, preferably with eraserhead and present mic but the how ended up looking a bit… illegal since he needed to make him see that quirks don't mean everything and that there are people who care so he would need to take up the mantle of vigilantism again, he hadn't thought about it since the time he ran away from UA.
"Midoriya" Izuku snapped back to the present as the teacher called his name, his teacher looked excited for some reason "since you seem so uninterested in the class how about you tell me the answer to this question?" Izuku looked at the chalkboard and was surprised because the question looked a little too advanced for the level of a middle schooler.
'what is the equivalent of the following logarithmic function in exponential form? 4=log 3 81'
Izuku blinked a few seconds, he may look like a normal child, he shouldn't know the answer to this, but the one thing they didn't expect was that the Izuku from the future was actually an incredible analyst and had years of advantage on his class when it came to his studies and it only took him a few seconds before he blurted out the answer "it's 81= 3" The excitement in his teachers face fell as they looked back between Izuku, the chalkboard and the book which they pulled the question out of only to give up with an angry look "correct…" the teacher then erased the question and continued with the class.
Izuku just shrugged that off since the teacher didn't call on him again for the rest of the class.
The rest of the day came and went before he knew it and he was ready to leave and get his first step of his plan started but someone had a few different ideas.
"Where the hell do you think you are going in such a hurry?" Bakugo and his followers blocked the exit of the classroom as he planned to continue where he left off "I bet you are just trying to run away like a little bitch" Izuku froze in place since he couldn't really think of what to do in this situation.
His exit was blocked by two other kids, a girl who had could control her hair and a boy who could make his arms into stone, if he was older, he could have easily dodged them but in his current state, even if he managed to pass one, the other one would easily catch him but he would also need to get past Bakugo who could not only catch him but cut his path with his explosions.
Izuku was brought out of his own head by a loud bang and the smell of burned sugar, before he realized Bakugo had placed his hand on his chest and made a small explosion which was still strong enough to burn his clothes and burn his chest, the strength of the explosion pushing him to the ground.
He was stunned for a moment as he tried to breathe but quickly he noticed that something was wrong, the pain was quickly fading away faster than normal and his own body felt like it was charged with electricity almost like when he uses… One For All.
Izuku closed his eyes and faked being in pain and raised his hands to his chest to not let his bullies see the now fading scar, instead he began to focus on his quirk as he tried to figure out why it had activated on its own.
Izuku opened his eyes to find himself in the familiar void of One For All but he took a step back at the sight in front of him.
Right in front of him a strange small ball was exuding massive amounts of energy, almost looking like a massive bonfire, deep down he recognized this to be the core of One For All, but he wasn't using it so why was it active?
He then turned his attention to the sky which gave him an even more supring sight, in the place where an empty void of darkness should be, it was now illuminated by thousands of stars of different colors, all shining down at him but for some reason he also felt the sensation that they were looking at him, a beautiful and confusing sight for him.
He also saw that the energy that the core was releasing was actually being absorbed by a few of the stars, more specifically, the ones that were green, they sucked the energy almost like black holes would and shined brighter than the others.
Izuku flinched and clutched his head as information rushed into his head, these stars were the quirks that All For One had, the green ones were healing quirks, the ones active right now were some that activated when the user was hurt but one of them would take the users stamina to heal them, another would use what the user ate as fuel to heal them but he didn't tired nor hungry.
"My oh my, this is quite the surprising turn of events" The voice of his father came from behind him, Izuku turned around to see both his father and first (should he call him uncle?) looking at the same scene he saw "It seems like our quirks work quite well together, don't you think brother?"
First scoffed, not even giving the man a glance and instead talked to Izuku "If you're confused, it seems like the quirks that he brought that would usually take something from their user are instead taking the energy they need from the core, meaning that you somehow bypassed their requirements"
"Indeed, and the more energy you give them the stronger the effects, that means a lot of possibilities for you" His father then took on a pout as he crossed his arms "but I'm so jealous, do you know how many stamina related quirks I stole so I didn't pass out from the first punch I took?"
"Don't know and don't care" First answered getting an annoyed look from his older brother "This… changes a lot of things but we'll have to talk about it later, for now just get back out there and let's get the plan on the road" First waved his hand and the void disappeared as it pushed Izuku back into reality.
He snapped back only to see the classroom empty, Bakugo and his goons must have left at some point leaving him alone.
He looked down at his chest and saw that there wasn't even a scratch from the explosion, he quickly stood up and grabbed his things as he ran out the classroom, he would love to look more into this but first was right, he needed to start the plan.
And he needed to hurry because the clock was already running.
