The room was silent as the students and teacher looked between Necrom and Izuku Midoriya...
They were still trying to figure out if the two have connection. And thankfully Necrom decided break the ice
"I heard that you would land in UA academy Izuku" he crossed his arms "and I did say my job was going to be a surprise after moving in Japan"
The green haired boy sighed but internally smiled at finally having him close by now "well since you're here, I don't need to keep your secret to myself anymore"
'Necrom has a secret!?'
"Go for it kid" the controversial hero gestured to the class "It'd help give my first impression to the class and teacher of 1-A"
"Alright" he nodded "everyone, meet my uncle..."
At first everyone was struck silent... then after a few seconds one word echoed by the 1-A students
"WHAT!?"
Their voices was heard by anyone, possibly everyone, in the school grounds. The class was so overwhelmed at hearing this as most were piling up to Izuku asking him questions about the controversial hero
Shouta Aizawa was man who rarely shows emotion. But after hearing that Necrom, his friend and fellow realistic hero, had a relative in his class... and suffice to say him dropping his jaw is the best case scenario he'd be in
The teacher was literally floored... without his sleeping bag!
Shouta Aizawa/Eraserhead was considered a passive hero to the public. The teacher stood up looking at his friend in surprise and was scratching his head that his fellow hero has relative in his class
Katsuki Bakugo, who was still in his chair, gritted his teeth upon learning this information
'Damn you Necrom!' the blonde bomber thought 'you made Deku strong...!' he then saw that the controversial hero was looking at him with crossed arms as if the guy knew what he's thinking 'DAMN IT ALL!' was his last thought before slamming his head on the table
Necrom shook his head as the class surrounded his nephew no doubt that his relative was trying hard to calm them down on his own
"So" he heard his fellow teacher speak "your nephew?"
"If your going to accuse me Eraserhead..." the man retorted "I'm not the kind of guy to boast popularity" he looked at his colleague "you know that"
Aizawa did and was thankful there was some that accepted his thoughts... to be popular is to be a big target by the villains and he knew Mark wasn't the type of guy to become egoistic in his path of heroism
'If only All Might learned more from you during that temporary partnership' the teacher of 1-A thought
Izuku was keeping his cool as his classmates question him from every angle having no routes to run away without using his quirk
'I'm starting to see why uncle Mark didn't care about popularity...' he thought before the entire class was silenced by Shouta's glare making them go back to their seats as he and Necrom were still in the classroom
"Even though this kind of news has so much questions" the teacher of 1-A continued his glare "this is a school for heroes not children..."
The class was dismissed and most the students filed out quietly while glancing at Izuku as the boy remained in his seat due to Necrom's insistence to catch up with his relative after moving in Musutafu, Japan
And some of them were still whelmed about this kind of connection, only few dared to keep the questions they have yet to make with their classmate
'How are you able to handle that such a man is your living relative?!'
Necrom was considered a controversial hero for a reason... since the world has more heroes in everyday life. It's really hard to see that the meaning of the word if the opportunity meant 2 things
Money and Fame...
Then there was All Might, the one who carried the ideal of a hero
But sadly the world saw him as invincible and not seeing his actions as a lesson to be a great hero
Which lead to Necrom's path of becoming a hero
The controversial hero was able to fight alongside the symbol of peace making reporters anywhere hound on him for answers and the guy just simply said no publicity and went off to continue his hero career
Unfortunately they could care less about his words and continued to chase him when spotted which led him to retaliate by hurting them without second thought
Most were now in fear that the man would keep getting back at them for reckless pursuit but he decided to humor the public by answering why he cared little about his publicity
"I don't care about my popularity ranking..." his voice filled with absolution "all that matters to me is making sure the world is safe from villains"
And from then on the media left him alone since the controversial hero was doing his job
The heroes are pretty much 50/50 on his views of being a hero when he travels the world doing his heroics
Necrom can be a great ally in stopping the villains
Or he's an obstacle to the popularity of their career
Which caused another panic when, the more, selfish heroes got exposed and hurt by him.
The message was made to all who know the controversial in his travels
Save victims while stopping villains or fight him on being a better hero
And thus Necrom was not only a controversial hero, but also the infamous hero of the world...
Mark was with his nephew chatting happily together
Shouta looked at the duo since he was being a tourist for his new staff member at the moment
'Good thing Mark knew this place earlier thanks to the principal...' he thought 'the last stop is staff office' he pushed himself between the two and looked at his fellow teacher "I know you want to catch up with your relative, but you still have to fix your stuff"
"Oh right" the uncle of Izuku patted Izuku's head "Why don't you wait for me at the gates Izuku"
"Okay uncle" the green-haired boy nodded and ran off
Shouta and Mark looked at each other for a second before the former opened the door to see that some members of the staff are still there
"Hey there!" Present Mic greeted the new teacher "you enjoying the tour of UA academy?"
"Sure did" the new teacher replied as he went to his table and fixed his belongings "I'm surprised that we are only a handful of teachers in this place"
"Well, you know heroes" Cementoss hummed "still working on popularity"
"It actually makes me glad that we are only few teachers" Snipe spoke
"What do you mean?"
"Considering that we have our quirks and are scared of them at first" the cowboy hero recalled "being a teacher and help the next generation become heroes is rewarding... if you can get past the attitude adjustment as the years pass"
"Then it's good that UA accepted me as a teacher" Mark smiled "we heroes don't live forever and the only thing we can do is make sure the next batch of heroes can help the world"
'Ain't that the truth...' the other teachers thought together since popularity became ridiculous thanks to the media making a big deal out of their hero career
After taking care of the stuff in his table he placed a couple pictures of himself in his time travelling around the world; one was him with a couple of heroes shaking hands together and a few villains below their feet out cold with the background of a pier behind them with some workers cheering at them on a united collaboration
The other was a sketch him with crossed arm and in the background were shadow silhouettes looming around him with a few arms only a distant away from him. No doubt signifying his views of the world and how the people in it, hero, villain or victim, are forgetting how narrow they have become
'Okay, everything's set' Mark nodded as he went for the door. He turned to his fellow teachers one final time and looked at Shouta Aizawa "I'll be seeing you first on my first day of work"
"Yeah..." the lazy hero replied as he checked on his planner for tomorrow's schedule
Outside the UA gates, Izuku Midoriya was having a quiet moment to himself after what happened today...
'Today's been hectic for me' the boy covered his face 'first my uncle is now part of UA academy and now the entire school will no doubt the school will find out I'm related to him' he then shuddered at the scenario from his class repeating itself with the entire school, both student and staff, coming at him
Izuku looked down at his Ore eyecon 'although now that he's staying here' he hummed a boy 'I wonder if I can use the eyecons he has in possession...'
His thoughts stopped upon seeing a car in front of him. The window slid down to reveal his uncle smiling at him
"Get in boy" he called to his nephew "I'll drop you off at your home"
While on the way there Izuku was quiet still reeling in the fact that his uncle is a teacher in UA academy
"Something the matter nephew?"
"Sorry uncle" the green-haired boy scratched his head "I'm still realizing the fact that you're a teacher in UA"
"I know the feeling Izuku" the man sighed "when I heard that All Might is going to be a teacher in a school... I was surprised" he then laughed "and upon seeing that you are the successor of that man's quirk is you" he calmed down "I decided to risk my luck and join him in that school"
They stopped at the apartment with Izuku leaving the car
"I'll see you in at school nephew" Mark smiled from the window
"Yeah" Izuku waved to his uncle as he drove off, he then turned to the apartment 'I wonder if mom was shocked like I am when uncle decided to live here'
After reaching the door and ringing the doorbell Inko opened the door looking sweaty and had a bit of tears in her eyes
'Yep' he thought as his mom pulled her in a tight hug 'just like me'
At the dinner table, mother and son ate in silence still coping that Mark Edgeese is living in Musutafu
After eating and the mom washing the dishes. The two of them are now in the living looking at each other
"So mom" Izuku called "uncle told you about his move here?"
"Yes..." the mother nodded "I honestly believe that Mark will continue travelling the world a few more years before making a stop somewhere"
"When did he tell you?"
"About the time you passed your entrance exam" Inko replied "when I called him after you told me, he was happy and decided to be close to you Izuku"
"Then that's a good thing" the boy smiled
"HOW IS THIS GOOD?!" Inko shouted in dismay "MY SON IS GOING TO GET HIMSELF HURT AND NOW MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS GOING IN DANGER WITH YOU!"
Izuku watched his mom's reaction to all this and saw that she is still trying to cope his dad's death
'Oh mom' he thought sadly before going forward and wrapped her in a hug making the woman stop
"It's okay mom" he soothed "like I said earlier, this is a good thing..."
Inko's tears fell again and wrapped her arms around her son "then tell me" she whimpered "how is it good?"
"Uncle Mark will be keeping his eye on me" he said making her stop crying "he was always moving around the world when he became a pro-hero, but now he decided to live in Japan and became a teacher to watch over me and would visit you time to time and report it himself"
Inko pulled back looked at her to see a smile on his face and that was enough for the mother to feel better
"I may not be able to handle my worries" she wiped her tears before smiling a bit "but at least Mark will make sure you don't get hurt too badly"
"I know he will" Izuku smiled back "Uncle won't be stupid enough to let me be reckless"
After one final hug between mother and son. Izuku went to his room to see his other eyecons on the table
"I see that miss Inko is still in distress" Beethoven spoke
"What do you expect?" Robin Hood hummed "she is worried about her child going into danger"
"So Izuku" Musashi looked at the boy "what are your plans now that you have your uncle in UA?"
"Simple" the boy pulled out a small notebook "I'm going to plan a work schedule for myself" he then took his pencil and looked at the empty pages "I still have yet to control the quirk All Might gave me" and started to scribble some of his exercises from the ten month workout "from what I understand One For All requires strong muscles" he then tapped the pencil on his chin "and since I still rely on my soul quirk... One For All will still hurt my body"
"Good luck then" the eyecons spoke simultaneously and hope this schedule gets you ready for using One For All
"I'll keep working on it" he said before mumbling to himself on how to balance between school lessons and homework for his workout to fit in there
Taking about an hour of his time before going to bed
Next day was like usual for class 1-A, regular morning classes with basic subjects and then came lunch
Izuku was between Ochako and Toru eating his Katsudon meal with Tenya looking serious as usual even when he was eating
After finishing his meal, Izuku sighed and looked at his class president "is there something you want to ask Iida?"
"Yes" the engine quirk user pushed his glasses up "it's about the relation you have with Necrom"
All activity around the table went silent, while the other tables continued their merriment of eating, intent to learn much about this
"What do you wish to know?" Izuku questioned after finishing his bowl
"How is it that such an infamous man was to keep connection with you?" Tsuyu voiced out her question
"Is that it?" the green-haired boy pulled out his phone "then all you need is to hear this"
A voice recording was heard for the students to hear
"I don't care about my popularity, all that matters to me is making sure the world is safe from villains"
After that recording Tenya, Ochaco and few others blinked at the man's words before looking at a smiling Izuku as he took his phone back
"Uncle Necrom doesn't like the spotlight when he's out being a hero" he said fondly "making him have time to see me when he's travelling or taking a vacation"
'Whoa...' some of them blinked 'guess that comes with being called being a controversial hero'
"Any more questions?"
"I have..." Kyoka Jiro spoke "why aren't you recommended if you have a hero like him as a relative?"
"I was tempted at first, but I declined" Izuku answered surprised his classmates at the answer
"Why did you say no to that?" Denki asked next "you could have entered UA easy!"
"That's because uncle told me about the American dream" the green-haired boy said calmly
'American dream...?' some of them blinked at the phrase
"it's basically this; start from zero then work your way up" Izuku looked at his hands "I want people to see me become a hero using my own potential and effort. Not from someone famous, or infamous in this case, saying so" he looked at his classmates with a focused and determined face
The table was silent once more From Izuku's words. They were now able to see that Necrom wasn't so bad as the rumors spread about him
Eijiro Kirishima was wiping the tears away with his arm 'such a manly resolve'
After lunch ended class 1-A were outside wearing their costumes since their teacher declared that today's lesson will be about caused an uproar of cheering in the class, making them excited they get a chance to go into USJ along with All Might and a couple of heroes teaching with him
'This is really happening...' Izuku thought as he boarded the bus with his classmates 'a chance to feel like a hero'
While the drive is about conversing the quirks each of them have, All Might was in his private room due to his condition thanks to his big fight against the Symbol of Evil
'Damn it' his body was smoking 'I'm not holding out as I used to'
The door opened to reveal principal Nezu entering the room
"I see that you have trouble right now All Might" the little white animal spoke calmly with his calm smile present
"I'm sorry principal" the number one hero replied before turning into his real self "but when I see trouble, I can't help myself but jump in and rescue the victim from trouble"
"Yes and that's why you are seen as the Symbol of Peace Toshinori" the principal then pulled out a tablet showing the man on an article "though, I worry that you will end up showing your real self earlier than expected if you keep this up"
Toshinori flinched at the reminder of his limited time making Nezu sigh
"Now that our students will be participating in situations" the principal sat down and took a cup of tea "you should put some faith in them"
"I'm sorry principal" the now skinny man grunted "but I'm still All Might" he coughed a bit "so I can't just sit down and let things happen"
"This will take some time then" the little animal sighed "then I hope you can be made aware of that you shouldering this weight alone will cost you someday"
Inside the bus, the 1-A class decided to make conversation on their way to their destination
"So Midoriya" Mina clapped her hands "is there something that your quirk can do than make you a ghost?"
"I can talk to ghosts" Izuku answered "and turn them into an eyecon when I bring them here"
"But doesn't that disturb the dead?" Eijiro blinked "I mean you are calling them from the other side and all"
"Oh not to worry" the green-haired boy waved his arms a bit "the ghosts actually come to me rather than being forced into the living world"
"Huh" Tsuyu blinked at her classmate's quirk "your quirk must be really tough to use since it involves the supernatural"
"Well at least it's not in the hands of some crazy person" Denki commented before he turned to a certain student "like Mr. hothead over there"
"WHAT WAS THAT LIGHTNING IDIOT!?" Katsuki roared making Kyoka look scared for a second "YOU WANNA DIE?!"
Momo covered her mouth in disgust at the blonde bomber's attitude "what a vulgar conversation..."
Ochaco just smiled at her "yeah that's Bakugo, but since he's here with us. We may have get used to him"
Izuku smiled at the display before him 'I'm surprised that this school can handle Katsuki' he then saw others laughing at the scene 'then again...if you can't handle that guy, then you can't handle the villains'
Meanwhile Shoto Todoroki stayed quiet like usual but his eyes were on Izuku as he had one thing in his mind
'Just how strong are you under the controversial hero's training Midoriya...?' the dual element student thought
After finally reaching the USJ building the class was greeted by their teacher, along with Thirteen and Necrom, for their lesson today
"Oh wow!" Sento and Denki gawked "this place so cool!"
"Such a dazzling sight" Aoyama commented at the sight
"It's like being in an amusement park" Tsuyu croaked while Mina and Ochaco smiled in glee
"If you're done gawking" Shouta spoke to his students "then pay attention to your teachers"
"Welcome to the USJ students" Thirteen spoke as she gestured to the area "this place will be your training ground on today's lesson"
"Just remember one thing about this" Necrom raised a finger "you mustn't rely too much on your quirks so easily" he said in a serious tone "there are situations that even a quirk can't handle"
The space hero nodded and continued the explanation that quirks can help but at the same time cause disaster
"Now that our words have reached you" the erasing hero clapped his hands "let's get this lesson started"
Class 1-A cheered and was about to walk down the stairs to start their hero studies but stopped when a sudden black out happened with a vortex appeared and expanded into a mist as a group of beings stepped out of that thing covering the open square
"That's not good" Necrom balled his hands in constipation
"What's happening down there?" Eijiro tried to get a good view of the area
"Trouble" Eraserhead placed his goggles on and unwrapped his bandages "Thirteen, you stay with the students and protect them"
"Right" the space hero nodded and stayed with the class
"Necrom" he turned to his fellow teacher "you're with me in handling this"
"Gotcha"
Meanwhile the black mist shriveled turned humanoid and was next to the man covered in hands
"So Shigaraki did you see your target?"
"I did not Kurogiri" the manchild started scratch his neck a bit "All Might isn't in the building" then he stopped his scratching "but I can wait" he grinned behind his hand mask "I'll let our acquaintances have their fun first"
"Your brother has helped you a lot" the black mist being hummed "he sure is lucky to stay alive after he said the he has to leave"
"Big brother is strong Kurogiri" Shigaraki replied "and besides, master told me he stayed in contact with him. So he can come back when master decides to"
The hand villain then spread his arms wide "now let's play our game everyone!"
The other villains smiled at the announcement as they looked up at their targets to destroy
Author's notes:
Hi everyone thanks for liking my Deku the Ghost story. Sorry I had to put it in a cliffhanger ending again... my mind is so distracted right now.
And another sorry if this chapter is boring to you. I wanted to fill out Mark Edgeese's backstory first and how he affected the community with his actions as a hero...
And I'm actually happy that I got to do it
After remembering that Stain, the hero killer, impacted the universe with his fanatic beliefs of what it means to be a hero. Leading the villain to purge the selfish ones (I.E. the people prone to do their jobs because you have a powerful quirk as the people expected or, more obviously, you get better pay and become famous with it)
Making Necrom the middle man between All Might's ideal belief of shouldering the weight of hero and Stain's view that the heroes shouldn't be selfish within society, leading him to become a teacher so the next generation wouldn't become selfish when they graduate
Also you noticed that at the last part of this chapter showed Tomura Shigaraki being slightly smarter than intended and mentioning about a big brother right?
Well that's because in my version of this story All For One found him with a companion so Shigaraki has someone else to trust other than his master
And I'm just going to say this... the guy was actually able to calm Shigaraki since the quirk he carried made him immune from being killed accidentally
(All For One gifted a quirk from his collection to Shigaraki's brother-figure creating a mutant-type hybrid quirk. Which is unbelievable since it was revealed that a person carrying more than one quirk causes the holder to be brain dead except for the Symbol of Evil)
Next chapter will be on hold because of the big battle against the villains in the USJ building for both students and teachers alike, not to mention it is nearing the end of season 1 you know
Thank you for reading this part of the chapter...
