Chapter 34: There is a Reason Why it's Obscure
The teachers all gathered along with both Recovery Girl and Shiro. They were wondering what the emergency was other than Nezu reassuring that it wasn't the League of Villains… at least he hoped not.
That was when All Might entered the room in his thin form.
"So are we finally going being this meeting?" asked Present Mic.
"There's one more person that needs to be in here." Said Nezu.
That was when the door opened and Tsubasa was there, almost everyone was confused.
"For those that don't know this the hero Raven Wing. The heroism tutor for Midoriya." Said Nezu, "As she is a witch and Midoriya heroism tutor I felt it would be best if she was here."
Tsubasa took a seat next to All Might.,
Nezu was grim.
"I will first show you what attacked 1-A's hero class then explain." Said Nezu.
He played the video of the black mass trying to attack Izuku.
Tsubasa covered her mouth in shock as she paled… she even started to tear up.
Shiro on the other hand started to get angry.
"Is this real!" yelled Shiro, "Because if this a prank! Then fuck it I'm quitting!"
"It's not a prank." Said All Might, "It's real… I saw it myself."
"And we both know that All Might would never lie about such a thing." Said Nezu, "And honestly… I would never use one a prank."
"I don't get it." Said Present Mic, "What is that thing."
"What I am about to tell you is normally only told to three groups outside of certain Ministry officials: Wizarding heroes, former and current top 10 heroes and Healers…" said Nezu, "It is something that's on a need to know to basis, and the only ones outside of those groups in this room that know what that is myself and Recovery Girl."
"Trust me Shiro's reaction is justified…" sighed Recovery Girl.
Tsubasa was wiping away any tears as she tried to compose herself.
"Have you ever wondered why the law is so strict when it comes to wizarding children?" she asked, "Why muggle parents who abuse their wizarding children get such harsh sentences… sometimes even the death penalty?"
The heroes were quiet.
"Most cases are cut and dry, go to prison, usually they're sent to a muggle prison." Said Shiro, "But those that are sentenced to death… it's because of that."
"But there are times where the child is put into so much pain that they wish they didn't have magic any more…" said Nezu, "They want it gone and they suppressed it."
"You can't get rid of magic…" said Shiro, "So when they do this something goes horribly wrong…"
"Their magic becomes twisted…" said Tsubasa.
"It becomes a dark parasitic force…" said Shiro, "And that is that force…"
"Wait are you saying…" said Present Mic, "That's a child?"
"Yes an abused one." Sighed All Might.
Everything became quiet in the meeting room.
"This is a child that has been completely broken lashing out…" said Shiro.
"They have been known to kill people… often without realizing it." Said Tsubasa.
"That's why they're put to death…" said Aizawa.
"Oh it gets worse." Said Shiro.
"How can it get worse!" yelled Present Mic.
"It's not only the death of any victim on the parents hands… but also the child's as well." Said Shiro, "As being an Obscurial which is the term for someone with an Obscurus… is also a terminal illness."
Everything became quiet.
"That little kid is dying?" asked Midnight.
"They are…" sighed Shiro.
"We have a little kid who can turn into a monster and is dying because of it…" said Tsubasa, "You can see why whenever it is created the parent gets the death penalty."
The teachers who didn't needed time to process it.
"Why is kept secret?" asked Midnight, "This shouldn't be kept secret."
"If it was public knowledge… how many more do think will be created?" asked Nezu.
Everyone became quiet once again.
"I have met at least one villain who would have kidnapped magical children to abuse them in order to make them into Obscurials if they had known about them." Said All Might.
"Not just that but I've read about at least one historical case of a Dark Wizard using one a weapon…" said Tsubasa.
"keeping it secret is a double edge sword here in Japan, not telling them means that it will happen but telling might have parents give up their children to the Ministry preventing it… while also getting worse." Said Shiro.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the worst of the worst parents just sold off their kid to the highest bidder." Said Tsubasa.
The heroes were quiet.
"Japan is one of the worst countries when it comes to Magiphobia but other countries still have the once a decade stats that Japan does." Said Shiro.
"I've actually heard that the US has a twice decade." Said All Might, "Though it does have a much higher population so…"
"Not to mention that the conditions need to be exact for one to be created… it's not just normal abuse…" said Shiro.
It sunk into the teachers.
"There's still one thing I don't under why Midoriya?" asked Present Mic.
"It's because Midoriya is an easy target for their wrath." Said Aizawa.
A few other teachers had figured this out as well…
"Imagine you're a child who has been broken and probably one of those reasons is that they could never be a hero… that there is no way that anyone with magic could match those with quirks…" said Nezu, "Then suddenly there's a boy who not only got second place in the UA Sports Festival but also helped in the defeated of a high ranking villain."
"They're not attacking Midoriya… they're attacking what he represents." said Aizawa.
"The fact that everything they had ever heard was wrong." Said Nezu.
"Izuku's just an easy target for their rage and pain…" said Tsubasa.
"Unfortunately the ministry will have to informed." Said Nezu.
Both Tsubasa and Shiro both groaned. Though All Might groaned internally.
"I know… but they have to know that a Obscurus is on the loose." said Nezu.
"I know." Said Tsubasa, "But I am going to inform them that I'm going to act as Izuku's body guard since he is a target."
Nezu nodded in agreement.
However there was something else that need.
"Before we finish up the meeting… is there anything else that needs to be asked." Said Nezu.
Aizawa looked at Tsubasa.
"You know about All Might's injury." He said to her.
"Yeah, I found out a while back… it's not important how I know… so please don't ask." Said Tsubasa.
The teachers decided it was better not to know after all.
Sometime later in Class 1-A all of the students were waiting for someone to tell them what was going on.
Soon enough Aizawa entered the room.
HE sighed.
"WE do know what attacked Midoriya is… and what I'm about to tell you is that there are very few people you can discuss it with. You can't tell anyone what happened and with the exception of Midoriya and Todoroki not even with your parents…" said Aizawa.
Everyone was shocked.
"Bullshit!" yelled Katsuki.
Aizawa looked at Katsuki.
"Our moms are best friends." Explained Izuku.
"That might be unless Mrs. Midoriya gets permission to talk to someone about I don't think he can talk to your parents." Said Aizawa.
They realized that whatever it was, it was serious.
"And if you're wondering about Todoroki it's because the secret is something that top 10 heroes are allowed to know." Said Aizawa.
Todoroki nodded.
HE then told everyone what he was informed about the Obscurus and Obscurial.
Needleless to say by the end of the explanation his students were very angry, upset, crying and at least one vomited.
"I'm worry you had to find out." Sighed Aizawa, "Honestly this is something that I would have preferred not to have found either…"
Things were very quiet.
Though many of the students started to look at Izuku.
"Midoriya I don't want to be rude about your parents." Said Shoji.
"Don't fucking start." Said Katsuki.
"No mom isn't like that all." Said Izuku.
"Inko is a very kind hearted woman." Said Iida.
Ochaco nodded.
"She knows I'm struggling with money and invited me to dinner so I can save money!" said Ochaco blushing a little, "It doesn't feel like she's taking pity on me… that's how she is."
"I will kick all of your asses if you say anything terrible about Aunty!" yelled Katsuki.
This just made the class that hadn't met Inko sweat drop.
"Yeah… my mom has that way with people." said Izuku blushing a little.
Many of the students stared at Izuku… as it was clear he was unaware that he was describing himself as well.
"Midoriya can I please speak with you alone." Said Aizawa.
Izuku was worried but as it turned out it was us him explaining until the Obscurial was secured, Izuku would be taken to and from school by Tsubasa.
After this explanation he knew he had to get ready to go home.
He did explain to his friends as he was getting ready.
"That makes a lot of sense." Said Iida.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"You're going to apparating aren't you?" asked Katsuki.
"I am." Said Izuku.
"That means teleporting right?" asked Kirishima.
Izuku nodded.
"Me and Round Cheeks are going to your place for dinner so we'll mee you here." Said Katsuki.
"Thanks!" said Izuku.
"Can I come over for dinner?" asked Todoroki.
"Huh?" asked Izuku.
"I heard about your mother and I want to come over for dinner." Said Todoroki.
"Sure if that's okay with your family." Said Izuku.
"I actually texted my sister saying I wasn't going be there dinner." Said Todoroki.
Izuku sweat dropped at that.
After all he didn't know if he would be able to come over to the house or if he just didn't want to spend time at home.
Honestly it could have gone either way…
Not too longer later, he got back home, where he and Tsubasa told Inko.
Of course the woman cried not just the fact that her son is in danger but also for the child.
It was hard not to.
"I know they're after Izuku but I can't help it." Cried Inko.
"I know… I cried too when I saw it." Said Tsubasa.
Both Midoriyas looked at her and she blushed.
"There will be others trying to capture them… and the ministry is watching out for schools and other locations in case the Obscurus shows up to wreck a certain location." Said Tsubasa.
Izuku sighed,.
"What's wrong?" asked Inko.
"If they try to go after me again…" said Izuku, "Would it be wrong for me to try reach them?"
"Oh honey!" said Inko.
"Of course not!" said Tsubasa, "It's a little kid who's in a lot of pain right now…"
Izuku nodded.
"If you try to save them just be careful." Said Inko.
Izuku nodded once again.
"Obscurus are really dangerous but I say if it tries to attack you again… try at least." Said Tsubasa, "But just be careful… it's very dangerous…"
"Of course…" said Izuku.
Izuku was set on rescuing the kids.
Not only that but all throughout Japan all of the current and former top heroes along with Magical Heroes were informed about the Obscurus.
They could only hope to save the child before any more pain could be unleashed…
It was the only hope right… after all right now they had no clues other than another attack… because right for their first attack it was incredibly vague and honestly could cover any magical child in the country… but hopefully they would save that child…
Next Time: All Might talks to Izuku about something he frankly should talked about sooner. The story of their quirk... what is the story? Find out next time!
