them are willing to die for the MLA and taking them one at a time will only cause issues. So we have to find a way to cut off all they're heads at the same time."
"We need to be smart… Skeptic has the information on his laptop you say?" Nezu asked me.
"Yes, but getting it away from him long enough to copy data off it?" I scoffed. "Good luck, that man has it on him 24/7 and probably has a lot of security on it."
"A man like that needs to rely on information to fight his battles." All Might commented. "We need to beat him at his own game."
Nezu hummed. "We could create a program to remotely copy the data from his devices undetected."
"The hard part is staying undetected." Tsukauchi shook his head. "Do not worry, I may have a solution to that." Nezu's smile in a way that I knew he had a plan.
"It's the smartest move, if he has all the information, we can use that." Gran Torino grinned as he got up.
"Oh and Midoriya, I have found the two individual you asked me to search for." Nezu told me and I perked up.
"Really?" I asked. "Yes! They're currently in Naruhata!" I blinked at Nezu's words.
Wasn't that where MHA Vigilantes took place… Oh yeah!
"Umm just a question… Does the name Crawler mean anything to you?" I looked at the detective who blinked.
"Wait.. how do you know that name?" He asked. "There was a spinoff series called Vigilantes and it featured Crawler, PopStep and Knuckleduster." I explained. "I don't know much but I'm curious about what happened to them."
Tsukauchi sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "I'm never gonna get over that… The Crawler has gone to the US to work under Captain Celebrity as a sidekick under a new name, Skycrawler." He told me.
I blinked, now that I thought about it… Yeah I remember seeing those videos about the vigilante turned sidekick. "What about Pop Step?" I asked him.
"She's… Well… She hasn't been seen in a long time, but Ms. Kazuho Haneyama was a victim of the Queen bee and she's already made a recovery, where she is now I'm not sure." Tsukauchi crossed his arms.
I frowned. She and Koichi never got together?! SERIOUSLY!
"As for Knuckleduster… No one has seen him in a long time." Tsukauchi finished.
Wow… So… That's what happened to the vigilantes…
"Thanks." I nodded to him as he nodded back and left. Gran already left without saying goodbye.
All Might's phone began to ring, thankfully it wasn't the A phone call is Here! Ringtone.
"Oh excuse me." He got up. "I'll speak to you later, Young Midoriya." He smiled as he left and
checked the caller ID.
I looked at Nezu. "Umm do you think you can give me a pass so I can leave UA grounds for a bit?" I asked.
"So we can finally do this!?" Mei asked excitedly.
"Yup but I need to ask my dad to send some stuff from I-Island." Melissa said as she showed Mei what was on the computer screen. "And I need to ask principal Nezu about us making the device in one of the gyms."
"I can't wait!" Mei cheered.
"Though… I can't help but wonder how Izuku knew what to do…" Melissa hummed.
"Maybe you just needed a fresh pair of eyes." Mei stared at the screen with a wide grin.
"Maybe…" Melissa sighed and then flinched when her stomach rumbled. "... Umm let's get some food first before we continue with anything else."
"Aww…" Mei huffed but complied as she stomped out of their personal lab.
Melissa was about to follow but stopped and walked over to a worktable and stared at the pieces of armor laid out.
Melissa grabbed the helmet and stared into its eyes and smiled with determination.
"... Iron Valkyrie sounds about right." The blonde put the helmet down and walked out of the workshop.
I walked into the Dorm kitchen with four full bags of foods and ingredients that I got from the small market nearby, cooking always helped in soothing my nerves and I had a lot on my mind. So why not cook for everyone here?
Placing the bags down, I was thinking of what I would actually make. I remember all the time I watched Binging with Babish and I thought of the Ribwich, something simple, hmmm for those who want a different option... Fried green tomatoes!... I don't have green tomatoes... Regular tomatoes will do.
After I put the pans on the stove and turned on the heat, I got to work.
A while later, Bakugo stomped into the common room and stopped seeing almost all of class A peeking into the kitchen. "The fuck are you doing?" He asked. Pinky shushed him "quiet! You'll spook him!"
Walking over he leaned over and saw Deku cooking, huh, he never knew Deku could cook... was it from his past life?
"Did you know he could cook?" Pikachu asked, he was drooling at the smell.
"No.." Bakugo narrowed his eyes when Deku placed a plate full of sandwiches on the table, next to the plate was a ... what was that?
I then noticed my audience and blushed. "Oh hi.. I made dinner.." I laughed nervously.
Mina and Kaminari flew into the room and grabbed a sandwich to eat. "I was waiting!" Kaminari shouted as he took a bite and froze.
Mina looked at her friend concerned. "Kaminari?" The blond started to wolf down his sandwich and reached for another one but I slapped his hand.
"One more only, leave some for the rest." I said sternly. Mina looked at her sandwich and took a bite, she moaned and smiled blissfully. "Sooo goooddd."
Everyone came and grabbed one. I handed Koda the fried tomato, "Here." I winked. "It's tomato," Koda smiled and gave me a nod. He took a bite and he hummed in content.
Ochako moaned as she bit down on her sandwich. "Deku, where did you get this idea?"
I laughed, "That's a secret." I teased as I ate my sandwich and smiled at how good it was.
"You should like, cook more often if you make food this good!" Camie moaned as she took another bite of her sandwich.
"Try the fried tomatoes, they're very good." Tokoyami suggested as he took a bite of one of the fried tomatoes.
I smiled at my classmates. I was happy to see them enjoying my food.
"BIG BROTHER!!!!!" I felt something small hit my leg and I looked down to see Eri hugging it. "You're okay now." She looked up at me with her big red doe eyes.
Smiling wider, I leaned down and picked her up. "Yes I am, I'm sorry for not seeing you after your first day at school, why don't you tell me about it?" I asked while I poked her nose.
"Try this!" Toru immediately handed some of her sandwich for Eri to try, she took a bite and smiled with stuffed cheeks.
This was my family… If All for one tries to take them from me, He has another thing coming.
Melissa was in her room late at night, on her desk asleep, her computer active as it was going through sequences.
The computer beeping woke her up. "Ugh…" Melissa blinked hard as she sat up and adjusted her glasses. "Stop that alarm…"
"Very well." Melissa froze as she heard the female voice coming from her computer.
Taking off her glasses and rubbing her eyes, trying to wipe the sleep away, she put them back on and saw it.
"ATHENA?" "Good Evening Ms. Shield." ATHENA responded.
"It worked… It worked!" Melissa cheered. "My own AI! Oh man, I can't wait to tell Mei!"
"Ms. Shield if I may, I suggest you go into your bed and get some rest as it's currently 1:33 in the morning." ATHENA cut in. "And from what I can tell you've been asleep on your desk since 10 in the evening."
"... At least let me do some check up on you before that." Melissa typed in some commands and
pressed enter. "Just need to make sure you don't go all evil on me."
"I will do my best to keep myself from enslaving humanity." ATHENA spoke in a somewhat joking tone.
"... Since when did you gain a sense of humor?" Melissa crossed her arms. "Since you programmed it into me with my sense of sarcasm and my wit." ATHENA responded.
"Now I know how Tony feels…" Melissa groaned. "I'm gonna sleep… Good night ATHENA."
"Good Night Melissa."

Chapter Notes
Okay... so Hi everyone, I hope I haven't disappointed any of you... I know I've been gone for a while, I have actually been distracted by Genshin Impact and had serious writer's block, for the matter on the stories on ... I will ignore it for now, as long as they mention that it's my story, I won't say anything, I am planning on posting it on there but I will have to rewrite some parts of the story to do some of that, anyway, more news after this chapter so let's get started.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Tomura Shigaraki walked through the streets of whatever city he was in. He didn't really care…
He wore a hoodie and kept his additional hands in his current hideout, an abandoned apartment complex just … 3 blocks from here… maybe more.
Kurogiri hasn't returned in nearly a week and a half… What the fuck was he supposed to do now?
He lost his followers, his master, his resources, he was stuck in level zero.
"Ha! Come on scaredy cat, show us what you can do." Tomura stopped and looked down an alley seeing three boys wearing middle school uniform crowding over another boy who was wearing the same thing, the boy was trembling and hiding his face as one of the bullies kicked the trembling boy hard.
He could have walked away but… He hated the sight. Walking over, he called out. "Hey brats." The delinquents looked at Tomura as he approached.
"Who the hell are-" But Tomura punched the kid in the face and grabbed him by the jacket and pulled him away.
"Mess with someone who knows how to fight." Tomura sneered as he clenched his fist.
The delinquents looked at Tomura and decided it wasn't worth it and walked away.
"... You okay kid?" He asked as he turned to the trembling boy.
"I'm okay…" The boy got up and dusted himself off.
"The hell did they want from you?" Tomura asked as he crossed his arms. He didn't care, but he had nothing else to do so might as well.
"Nothing, I'm always they're target." The boy sniffed as he wiped away the tears from his eyes.
"Why don't you fight back?" Tomura asked him.
"Well… I don't really have a quirk to do that…" The boy looked behind him, he had a cat tail.
Tomura blinked. "... Well I don't think you need a quirk to punch those bullies."
"But they're stronger!" The boy frowned. "They're quirks are combat related… I can't compete.."
"Sounds like a lame excuse to me… Why don't your teachers do anything about this?" Shigaraki asked.
"They're hero candidates.." The boy replied as he picked up his discarded backpack. "Teachers are trying to make sure they have clean records.."
"Heroes… them?" He asked in disbelief. "Heh that's rich… Aren't heroes supposed to save people?" He scoffed.
"What a bunch of nonsense." The heroes claimed to save people and this is what the next generation was bringing?
It made him sick.
"T-thank you." Shigaraki looked at the boy who was bowing.
"No need for that… You got anything to eat?" The boy shot up from his bow and took some sandwiches that looked like it came from one of those convenience stores.
"Here! Thank you again!" The boy rushed out, probably to head home.
"..." Looking at the sandwiches in his hands he felt pride… He saved a boy from hero candidates… Just like his master saved him when no one would turn to him…
What was a hero… And what is a villain… What are they in this society…
Taking a bite of his procured food, he walked out of the alley, his mind working to answer his question.
He was in the real world, as nobody… An observer. Well if he was gonna succeed in his goals, why not get a new perspective.
I was sitting at my desk waiting for Mr. Aizawa to come in, today was gonna be the day we fought Mirio… I wonder if things will be the same.
Shuddering at the thought of me getting a blow to the stomach.
"Midori~" I jumped and looked behind me at Camie. "You okay? You seem a lil tense." She asked with a concerned look.
Camie was … more attentive and serious than I thought when I got to know her more through my time at school.
"I'm fine Camie." I smiled and turned back as Aizawa came in.
The pro hero looked at me and I smiled at him. Sighing, he just started with the homeroom.
It was so nice to go back to classes… heh surprised that I think that. Before I didn't like school at all, but here I am, excited for homeroom, I was here… I was a hero student.
I perked up when Aizawa called someone to come in.
The door opened and the Big 3 walked in, Mirio Togata, Nejire Hado and Tamaki Amajiki.
I met Nejire's eyes and she gave me a huge smile.
"We'll have people who experienced it first hand." Aizawa explained. "Tell you how these work studies are different from internships." He narrowed his eyes. "Listen carefully."
The three students stood in front of the whole class. "These three third years at UA stand at the top of all current UA students, also known as the Big Three." Aizawa looked at the three with Mirio crossing his arms with a smile, Nejire smiling with her arms behind her back and Tamaki looking like he wanted to be anywhere else but there.
Before anyone else could say anything, Nejire seemingly appeared in front of me and was in my face. "Hey hey Dekiru! How are you doing? You were really down when I last saw you, are you feeling better?" She asked me with a concerned look.
I blinked. "Oh hi.. Yeah I'm better now, thank you so much for the support." I gave her a smile.
"Oh this is the student you were talking about?" Mirio asked. "The one on your secret mission?"
I couldn't help but stare at Nejire with a look of deadpan. "It's a secret for a reason…" I told her.
"Sorry! I didn't say anything else other than that!" Nejire smiled sheepishly and walked back.
Aizawa sighed. "Let's just get started. Introduce yourself, Amajiki, you go first."
Amajiki looked up and stared at us with an intense look, I didn't really feel intimidated… My classmates, sans Bakugo, were another story…
Then Tamaki turned around and placed his head against the wall. "Poor guy…" I knew how bad anxiety was.
Nejire smiled at Tamaki. "Oh Amajiki, that's called having the heart of a flea! Even though you're human it's so strange!" I sweat dropped at that.
"Anyway! This one is Tamaki Amajiki!" Nejire mentioned to Amajiki then put a hand to her chest. "And I'm Nejire Hado!" She introduced herself. "We were asked to talk about your work studies."
I hummed as I watched Nejire ask my classmates questions about their quirks. I snorted at that and leaned on my hand.
"Hey hey! Don't worry EraserHead, I'll wrap it up!" Mirio tried to ease the hero who looked ready to murder anyone who crossed him.
"THE FUTURE IS GONNA BE!!" The blond man put a hand on his ear waiting for a response but none chimed in.
"GRIM!" Oh so that was it.. "Sorry my call and response was a huge fail! Hahaha!" Mirio laughed.
This is who Nighteye wanted as the next OFA user… I see him as the next All Might but not the next OFA user.
I felt a wave of agreement from OFA, even All Might's visage.
"Why don't you fight me all at ONCE!?" Mirio asked,
… "Eh?!" Everyone looked shocked.
I felt excited and kinda nervous. How would I fare against him now?
"It's the most rational to have you experience our experience first hand right?" He asked Aizawa.
"... Do what you want.." Aizawa sighed.
And that's how we were brought to one of the gyms in our gym uniforms.
I had my gauntlets on after Aizawa gave me the go ahead.
If Mirio thought it would be easy to fight me or my classmates… No, this man had a lot of experience and took us all down in canon.
I shouldn't be cocky.
"Isn't this a little unfair?" Kaminari asked with a frown.
"Kaminari, I suggest you treat this like the time you got your asses beat by Gran Torino." I warned as I activated OFA and set it to 8% Full Cowling.
Was… things moving slower than normal?
Jiro's screech as Mirio's clothes fell off snapped me out of my thoughts… Right… Oh he had some underwear! That's a relief, they didn't fall off.
Bakugo immediately took advantage and blasted towards Mirio who was trying to get his pants back on. "YOUR MINE NOW!" Bakugo had a ferocious grin as he blasted Mirio, but when the smoke cleared, only his pants were left.
"The hell?" Bakugo looked around but felt a fist dig into his stomach, almost making him lose his lunch.
He underestimated Mirio…
"POWER!" The third year exclaimed with a grin. Here we go…
I jumped back as Mirio went to town with the rest of my class.
Bakugo was down, Koda, Shoji, Aoyama, Toru and Mina were taken down with a blow to the stomach.
"He's phasing through the floor!" Ojiro called out. "Be on your guard!"
I hummed as I looked around. I leaned my head to the side as a fist sailed past my head thankfully danger sense helped in alerting me.
"Oh nice dodge!" I smirked at his words and swiped but it expectedly passed through him as he
sank once more into the floor.
"Try and dodge when he flies up again!" I called and kept my guard up.
Ojiro went down, Jiro down, Kaminari down. Shoto tried to fry him by blasting fire but was taken down by Mirio who was too fast.
Jeez… They really underestimated him.
Iida next, Momo went next, Kirishima took two blows before going down. Tokoyami went down and then Sero and Camie.
Ochako was starting to hover but he shot up and she received a punch to the gut. Tsu was next, Sato went down as he tried to hit Mirio.
Now it was just me and him. "You know you could have helped." Mirio said as he stood over my groaning classmates.
I hummed. "I could have but then they wouldn't have learned a very important rule." I spoke my next words loudly. "Not to underestimate your opponent!" I got groans and a middle finger from Bakugo as a response.
"Oh! So you don't?" Mirio asked with a smirk.
"Nope!" I got into my fighting stance and grinned widely. "Disappear!" My body exploded with smoke as the whole room started to fill with it.
"WHOA! How did he do that! I Thought his quirk was energy stockpile!?" Nejire asked Tamaki who looked surprised when he peaked.
Aizawa sighed as he palmed his face, the problem child used the 6th's quirk… he better know how to use it.
Mirio looked around as the whole room was covered in smoke. "Ohhh nice, trying to obscure my vision." He sunk into the ground.
I knew this wasn't gonna help but this was to throw him off.
Below! I jumped up and dodged a fist from Mirio, I grinned as I landed, the smoke started to dissipate.
'Your control of Smoke Screen isn't good, you just used it.' I heard En say in my head. Yeah I noticed..
Mirio was nowhere to be seen. I closed my eyes and focused more on Danger Sense.
I could tell when danger was coming and where it was coming from, all I needed to do was react to it fast enough.
Below! I grabbed at where the fist was supposed to land but Danger Sense went quiet. He went intangible when my hand was about to reach.
He flew right through me and into the air. I summoned Black Whip and started to manipulate the whips and let them rampage through the air.
The smoke was blown away and I could see Mirio putting his pants on and was looking at me with
a challenging smile.
If I let up, he would get an opening.
He charged at me and then sinked through the floor. I soon realized that he could get a hit on me if he got close enough.
Danger Sense flared and I immediately jumped into the air just as a fist was about to land on my chin.
I floated in the air with a small grin. "Nice one!" I compliment the senior student.
"Not bad yourself!" Mirio returned the compliment with a wide grin as he looked up at me.
"Alright that's enough." Aizawa spoke up. "Midoriya, come down."
I nodded and slowly floated down.
"He was able to survive.." Tamaki muttered.
"Yeah yeah! I told you, he's different from the rest, really strong and smart and funny too!" Nejire poked Tamaki who shook as he had his head against the wall.
"Pretty good kohai." Mirio offered me a fist bump which I returned. "You could predict where I was going to attack!"
"Something like that." I chuckled as my classmates got up holding their stomachs.
"Man, you wiped the floor with us.." Kaminari whined, rubbing his sore stomach.
"Because you underestimated one person, a person who had more experience than all of us combined." I explained.
"Yeah! See he gets it!" Mirio pointed at me with a grin. "That's what you'll be getting in your work studies, experience on the field, putting everything you learned here in UA to the test." He explained.
"What is your quirk? It must be super strong." Sero asked as he rubbed his stomach.
"OH OH Can I tell them?" Nejire asked Mirio.
"Hang on Nejire, first let me ask you this, what do you think my quirk is?" Mirio asked the whole class.
"Obviously a phasing quirk, you just dropped into the ground and shot back up!" Camie whined.
I tuned out as I was thinking on ways to implement SmokeScreen into my movesets.
Foresight is needed to fight blind, but also hearing and smell…
I looked at Mirio as he explained his permeation. A quirk that was made strong by the user. He will be an amazing hero, just hope that he doesn't lose his quirk.
We were dismissed afterwards and we made our way to the locker rooms.
I saw that my classmates were demoralized after the whole beatdown.
"So what did you all learn?" I asked as I walked further ahead of them.
"Ummm always cover your stomach?" Kaminari asked, rubbing his sore stomach.
"He means that we need to not underestimate our opponent…" Momo looked a bit down but she had determination in her eyes to do better.
Iida nodded. "Correct, we assumed that with our run in with villains that we would be skilled enough to beat other students easily, but that isn't the case…"
"Well Midoriya was able to go up against him.." Sero muttered.
"Because he watched the ghost fucker's every move and waited until the right moment to strike." Bakugo grumbled.
Everyone, me included, stopped to look at him.
"WHAT?!" Bakugo barked with his normal pissed off face.
"Did you just compliment me?" I asked in bewilderment.
Bakugo pushed past me. "Don't look into it you damn nerd."
I blinked and shook my head as we got into the locker rooms.
As I was putting my uniform on, my phone pinged. I finished putting my tie on and took it into my hand. I received a message from All Might to meet him in our usual meeting spot.
"Gotta go guys, see you later." I walked out and made my way to the private room we always met in, what did he want?
I made it and knocked on the door. "Come in." All Might spoke through the door.
"Hey, what is it you need… to…" I stopped as I saw Sir Nighteye sitting on the couch, across All Might, giving me a calculating and judgemental look.
Great…
"... All Might… Sir Nighteye." I took my seat next to All Might, my eyes never leaving Nighteye's.
When All Might called me here I thought it would be something important but no, If I had to guess, Nighteye doesn't approve of me and wants me to give OFA to Mirio.
"So what's this about?" I asked All Might, not breaking eye contact with Sir Nighteye.
"This is about the future of One For All." Nighteye answered, All Might sighed. "Miriai.."
"No.." I held my hand up. "Let him speak." I narrowed my eyes.
"I'll be blunt, your not a suitable user and Mirio should be given One for All." Nighteye outright said. "You're egotistical, cocky, your whip quirk is more than enough to make you a hero, One for All should be given to someone who's willing to create a better society."
... What?
I looked at All Might with a look of disbelief. "What have you told him about me?" I asked.
"He... hasn't allowed me to speak about it.." All Might sighed.
Ah... "So... you think I'm a cocky, egocentric All Might wannabe?" I asked with a straight face.
Nighteye stayed quiet but I knew that's what he thought. "Did you see my interview?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes I have, I deduced that your light won't be bright enough to shine through the darkness, you are depending on others. What we need a dazzling light, not a dim one"
Wow... just... I couldn't help but start laughing. "Oh my ... Wow!" I laughed harder, was this how I was presenting myself? Or was this how he saw me through his eyes.
Nighteye glared at me. "This isn't a joking manner." He scolded me.
"I know but I can't help it, you know NOTHING ABOUT ME!" I kept laughing as All Might looked at Nighteye in disappointment.
"Let me explain some things to you. One, I'm not cocky, I'm confident in my abilities, there's a difference." I held up a finger, I held up two fingers, "2, I'm not egocentric, I don't know where you got that, I'm pretty down to earth, and 3." I held up my 3rd finger. "Your blind Nighteye."
"Why do you think Mirio is a better candidate for One for All?" I asked.
"He's been training his body for years, he has an amazing quirk, he's bright and his smile brings comfort to others." Nighteye crossed his arms.
I nodded. "So... you want another All Might?" I asked as the hero raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?"
"No I mean, I get it, when I met Mirio, he reminded me of All Might in certain ways, he's always smiling, strong, blond, blue eyes." I list off the similarities I noticed when meeting him. All Might's eyes widened as he realized the same thing. "So... you want him to be the next All Might."
"That has nothing to do with it." Nighteye glared.
"Does it?'' I asked innocently. "Come on, face it, your blinded from All Might's light, you don't want it to go out so you're trying to find someone exactly like him to replace him, You don't want the perfect user, you want another All Might." I crossed my arms. "Besides, Mirio's a horrible candidate for One for All."
"You're wrong." Nighteye denied, this was similar to David Shield, he saw All Might's light up close and was blinded to the other heroes that were around, he didn't want the light to go out. But he wanted to make a device to boost One For All, Nighteye wanted someone just like All Might to take his place so it would be like nothing has changed.
"Oh? Let's see, do you have any idea how One for All works?" I asked. "I know how Mirio's quirk works and he would break all his bones if he tried to use it. It's the exact opposite when using permeation." I explained. "And, One for All will kill Mirio before he reaches his thirty's."
Nighteye stood up, his composed rage leaking out. "You are simply arguing so you won't give up One For All!"
"Am I?" I looked at All Might. "Tell him.."
All Might sighed. "Mirai... A person with a quirk can't handle One for All, the strain kills them.."
Nighteye studied All Might's face for a moment before turning to me. "Then what about him, he has a quirk."
I laughed. "I'm quirkless!" I revealed. "One For All merged with me to the point where I can use the quirks of the previous users!"
Nighteye looked floored by this. "Then.." "And for your information, One For All wouldn't even leave me if I tried to give it away." I lifted up my arm and let OFA surge through it, the lightning wasn't blue, but rainbow, different colors sparkling around my hand. "It chose me to be the 9th user."
Nighteye stared at me and then sat down and pushed a paper towards me. "Prove it, come to my agency and prove to me that you are a suitable wielder."
I looked at the paper and then at him. I pushed it back, "No... I don't need to prove anything to you. It was never your decision to begin with." I got up. "If all you're gonna do is test me to see if I'm a good welder for One For All and not help me grow to become a better hero... we have nothing to talk about." I got up and made to leave.
My hand snapped up, grabbing Nighteye's wrist as he was about to touch my shoulder.
"MIRIAI!" All Might got up, enraged by the fact that his former sidekick attempted to use his quirk on Midoriya.
I gazed into his eyes, my eyes sparking with electricity. "Touch me and I will break your hand." I warned him. Nighteye's eyes widened as he could briefly see the vestiges of the previous users glaring at him with disapproval.
"And one last thing." My tone was cold as I spoke. "Mirio wouldn't even accept the quirk, it was passed to me, he wouldn't want to take someone else's quirk, even under your orders… He's someone who would do what was right rather than what was asked, did you even consider his feelings about this, have you even told him about all this?" I asked.
The silence was all I needed.
Letting go of his hand, I walked out. "Sorry All Might, I need to go and hit something." I slammed the door shut hard.
The two men stood there in silence until All Might sighed. "I thought you would see reason… But I thought wrong…"
"His anger will be-" "You provoked him, you told him he was unworthy when I deemed him so long ago." All Might cut Nighteye off.
"... He is quirkless." Nighteye adjusted his tie.
"As am I." All Might glared at his former sidekick.
Nighteye looked at All Might and walked out of the room, no more words exchanged between them.
All Might groaned and rubbed his forehead, he wished he could drink.
After asking Nezu and Aizawa for permission to use one of the gyms and access to some of the
robots. I was demolishing them, smashing their heads, breaking them easily.
How dare Nighteye try and throw his weight around, just because he was All Might's former sidekick didn't mean he had any right to decide on who gets One For All.
Judging me when he didn't know me, I hated people who were like that.
He was also blinded by All Might, as were many others.. But I needed to pull the curtain and show them that All Might is human and one beacon can't light the world.
After destroying the last one, a voice called out. "Robots aren't good punching bags." I turned to see Bakugo in his gym uniform with his arms crossed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I rolled my arm.
"You didn't come back to the dorm, plus you asked for usage of the gym and the robots in the Illuminati Group Chat. I saw it and figured something happened.
I frowned. "And why do you care?" I asked as I turned away.
"... Because we're friends, you idiot." Bakugo said in a sincere tone.
Turning to him with a look of surprise. "Wow you… said it so… sincerely." I was honestly shocked, I knew we had a rivalry, a friendship was something I did hope for but didn't expect.
"I can be sincere when I want to be." Bakugo then got into a fighting stance. "Are we gonna fight or not?"
I stared at him before going into one of my own.
"No quirks, just hand to hand." Bakugo told me.
"Alright." With that, I lunged at him and threw a haymaker. Bakugo dodged and retaliated with a kick which I blocked.
As I threw another punch, Nighteye came into my mind, I growled as anger started to cloud my mind and guide my attacks.
Bakugo took notice and went more on the offensive as my attacks became sloppier.
His words echoing in my head as I fought, I saw red as my quirk came to life and I launched a kick at Bakugo who let loose his Flash Grenade move.
I was blinded as I covered my eyes. "Dude!" I waved my one arm around.
"Calm yet?" Bakugo asked, the ringing faded and I opened my eyes to see him standing there with his arms crossed.
"Are you gonna tell me what happened?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.
"... Fine." I sighed and started to explain the meeting with All Might and Sir Nighteye.
The moment I finished, Bakugo was scowling. "Fucker has no rights to choose who should wield One for All, it's All Might's choice."
"Yeah, I don't think he got the memo." I commented as I sat on the floor.
"Listen, you're the best one to wield that quirk, it became yours the moment you took it." Bakugo huffed.
"Since when did you become so comforting?" I asked sarcastically.
"The moment you told me everything." Was Bakugo's response. "If I want to be the number one hero, I need to learn to work well with others and become a people person." He glared. "I'm not becoming a whimp."
"Didn't say you weren't." I smiled at him. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it, Izuku."
"... It's weird to hear you call me that." I muttered,
"Yeah I know but I'm trying to show you more respect." He shrugged.
"Then I'll call you Katsuki." I got up and patted his shoulder.
"Fucking weird to hear you say that… Whatever, don't tell anyone or your ass is grass." Katsuki growled as we walked out of the gym.
"Tell anyone what?" I grinned as we excited the gym.
Chapter End Notes
I've been having writer's block with my other stories, sometimes I tend to write it when It's fresh on my mind, now it's not and It's hard to write out, I have other stories in mind I want to post but seeing my other stories not getting much attention makes it hard to do it.
So I will be either posting short stories just to get them out there in a book of Oneshots, or I will make them into stories on their own and see how it goes, I will do this, just thinking on how to go on about it.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter, your comments are appreciated, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
