The next day was the final day of Aldera High…and the school year wasn't even done.
The day had started out weirdly; Izuku was smiling as he went into the school. Seemingly without a care in the world. Many picked up on this and moved to ask (and by ask, the author means 'demand') what had him so happy….
But they never got the chance or needed too:
He was floating!
Well, technically also flying, as 'floating' usually just impiles you defy gravuity and he was almost swimming through air as he moved throughout Aldera, without a care whatsoever of what others saw or felt.
"Um…Midoriya?" His teacher finally asked for everyone. "I…I see your Quirk finally…?"
"Yup! Turns out to be a mix of Avatism and needed stimuli." Izuku explained in class as he floated down into his seat. "Got both of my mom's parents quirks."
He let that linger.
Two Quirks.
Him.
The worthless Deku. The fanboy.
Had TWO Quirks.
"Whatever, not like they're anything good." Katsuki Bakugo, once Izuku's best friend turned bully roared as he sat down. "They came in too late for you to do shit, Deku!"
Izuku just sighed and looked Katsuki dead in the eye.
"Well, at least now I can try and probably survive. Right, Bakugo?"
He let that linger.
No 'Ka-chan.'
No stammering or begging.
Just. Bakugo.
The blonde boy, not used to this pebble talking back, growled but then sat back down.
"This ain't over, Deku." He promised.
Izuku just focused on class.
And for a while. Everything went smoothly; the teacher droned on and on, called out sleepers in class…then, just before lunch, came the Aptitude tests.
Or at least, that's what was supposed to happen. The teacher tossed them aside and proclaimed how everyone wanted to be heroes, with the other students revealing their Quirks. Aside from a mist girl, a telekentic and thay boy who claimed to be related to Superalloy Darkshine?
Not many really 'Heroic' Quirks.
And Izuku hated thinking that; there was no such thing as a bad quirk. Just a bad or unimaginative user. Or, like in Bakugo's case? A smart and strong user who just had a cruddy personality.
"I've already gotten my invite to the Tryout test!" Bakugo smirked after he'd told their classmates not to waste their time. "This time three years from now? I'll be on my way to be the new Number One!"
"Well, Midoriyahas gotten in on Recommendation," the teacher read, bored at first until he re-read that.
Yes, yes he'd read right.
And then he saw one detail. He blinked, then cleared his eyes before putting on glasses to make sure he was reading right.
"B-b-b-by All-Might no less!"
You could hear a pin drop, the room was so quiet.
Everyone turned to Izuku who was actually filling out one of the dropped Apptuitude tests.
And for some reason? This pissed Katsuki Bakugo right the hell off.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOUR WEAK…!? THE HELL?!"
Izuku looked up to see Katsuki leaping at him and finallyu panicked, only for grey tendrils to erupt from his from and grab Katsuki, holding him in place.
"THE HELL IS THIS?!"
"Grandpa's quirk; Smokescreen." Izuku explained, then beginning his white lie. "Only my version mixed with mom's quirk and made them into smoky tentacles."
And then for the first time in anyone's memory? Izuku smirked as he looked to Katsuki.
"Are you willing to risk it all on threatening me?" Izuku asked. "Because I'm sure that a real number one would grin, bear and move on. Heck, that's Endeavour's entire shtick."
Katsuki fumed, trying to break free of the Black Whip-SmokeScreen.
INSIDE ONE FOR ALL
"…What is that brat's problem?" Kudo asked.
"Oh, he's the son of Inko's best friend." Nana sighed. "Mitsuki; pretty girl, loud proud…Katsuki is clearly her son."
"Evidently, she never hit him hard enough." Roku grumbled.
"HONEY!" Nana, scandalized, shouted. "There is NEVER a good reason to strike a child!"
"Not one of ours, sure. Others? I don't spare the rod for brats like that." Roku shrugged, being confused when his master smirked.
"Kid thinks he can be number one with just a Quirk and results! HA! Not with that personality! In my day, he'd be blacklisted!"
"Or sent to an asylum," Hikage noted.
"Or that, yeah," Danjuro agreed.
"Maybe we can get Toshi to pull some…" Roku started, only to be glared at by his wife.
"One more word? And you're on the couch for a year."
"…We don't have a couch. We don't even have beds." Roku pointed out.
Bruce then got and stormed towards the 'screen.'
"Oh hell to the no! I did NOT die for this Quirkist or Quirkless-ist crap to resurface! Kid! If you have ANY sense of pride in you, BREAK. HIM!"
…
…
…
"…God, I love you." Kudo said to Bruce.
"Not very heroic speeches I'm hearing here." Youichi noted. "How about we just let Izu handle this for now?"
The other users decided to do just that. Bruce would be disappointed, but the others were happy with what they saw:
REAL WORLD
"When did you get the balls?" Katsuki, returned to his desl managed to ask Deku.
Izuku gave no reply.
But learning your father is an uber powerful alien (and a rouge of his people) and all your grandparents fought villains that were the stuff of nightmares and that they weren;t sure were 100% dead. And who did kill two of said grandparents before your idol finally beat him?
It puts things inter perspective.
"A PHONE CALL IS HERE! A PHONE CALL IS HERE!"
As did this: A real friend.
"Hello?" Izuku asked as he answered his phone with little care.
"Hey, Izu!"
"Ruby!" Izuku beamed. "How's it going?"
"I made top place! I'm the #1 Signal student!" Ruiby beamed over the phone.
"Really!?" Izuku beamed. "That's fantastic! I bet Yang, Mr, Qrow and Mr. Tai are so proud!...Yeah, I'm about to go for lunch. No, no I don't really need to go back after. Cookie Burger? You know I've never been…No, no, I know where it is. Yeah. Uh huh, Sure! I'll see you in five! My treat! Yes, mine! Okay, fine: We'll rock, paper, scissors for it. See you soon!"
And with that, Izuku reached into his bag and dropped several assignments on his desk.
"everything else on this year. I'll see you at graduation!"
And then he flew out the window, racing to beat Ruby to Cookie Burger.
The class stayed their in silence before a student pulled up their phone and checked social media: They then gasped at the sight of a picture of Izuku and a cute redhead with silver eyes waiting in line for the resteraunt.
It then dawned on everybody what was happening:
The kid they'd bullied and mocked for years, not only had two Quirks, but All Might's attention AND a cute girl friend? Who may or may not be an actual girlfriend?!
"Whoa...suddenly I feel jealous!" The boy known only as 'Fingers' said with a whistle.
"Honestly...I think I feel happy for Midoriya!" A girl with short brown hair and glasses who could levitate objects said.
"Pardon me, students."
Everyone tensed at the new voice: And then Katsuki remembered something:
Deku's parents and sisters were Pros. POWERFUL Pros. All Might level pros.
Why did he recall that now?
Because Uncle Hisashi, aka Omni-Man, was now in their homeroom.
"I need a moment with your teacher. You can all go home."
He left no room for arguing as he grabbed the teacher, then flew to the offices to also grab the gym teacher and principal.
"N-no wait a minute, please!" The teacher begged.
"We goit rights and you can't do thois!" The gym teacher snarled.
"We have nothing to say if he was a late bloomer." The prinicpal said…
It was only then that the three realized all the could see was Omni-Man and clouds.
"How about…Goodbye."
Without another word, he dropped them. And he didn't save them.
He then whipped out a Transpoder Snail.
"Hey dad. Having fun with the Pros?"
"BAHAHAHAHAHA! None of them can handle even a 'Fist of love!' And your mom and her gals are RAKING that giant girl! Anyways, what can I do for ya, kiddo?
"Get the old men on the line. Tell them their boss' sparring partner needs a favor. And tell that Lucci brat to go home, he's out of his league."
Garp cackled; it always did him good to see his son put the fear in those old men…!
INHERANT
She was surprised this had happened so smoothly.
Tatsumaki chugged back a coffee as she remembered the past few hours:
She had called a meeting with the only heroes she considered in her league, aside from her parents and All Might.
The S-Rankers: 15 incredibly powerful individuals, hailed by the HPSC and others as contenders for the #1 spot if anything ever happened to Endeavour and All Might.
However, of the 15 of them? Only Puri-Puri prisoner, Flashy Flash, Bang and Atomic Samurai had ever lasted more than a few seconds against the man they were all compared to. And of those three, Bang, the oldest of them, had come the closest to gaining a draw.
As strong as they all were, none of them held a candle to Uncle Toshi.
And they had all showed up for this meeting she called. She hadn't expected this, usually they all only came when the HPSC demanded it of them. Sure, she was probably the strongest of them and had asked nicely…
Well, as nicely as she could…
Anyways, they all had come when they heard her say what she had to explain couldn't leave the meeting room or be shared. EVER.
In that meeting, she shared her father's secret.
"All Might may still be stronger than all of us, but he's slowing down and Endeavour is nowhere near his level. If what dad says is true, we're the first line of defense against whatever comes. And yeah, we all have students or allies and other heroes…But none of you can imagine the fear on my father's face….Nor my brother and sister's…"
She never spoke a word of One for All. Izuku wasn't even in UA yet. Besides, she had no doubt Bang at least knew, and the others were smart enough to figure it out if they….
"Well, well." Metal bat smirked. "About time you showed it."
"What?"
"The reason you do what you do. Same as me." Th delinquent then took out his wallet and showed a picture of a little girl; his younger sister.
"Tatsu-chan? Your secret is safe with me." Puri-Puri Prisoner smiled, shooting Metal Bat a flirty wink.
Pig God, Superalloy Darkshine, Drive Knight, Atomic Samurai, Genos, and Bang had all followed in suit, promising to keep the secret and train harder than ever. Drive Knight and Bang ahd even offered to use their resources to track and search for any useful info.
Sadly, as Tatsumaki expected, not everything had gone smoothly:
That bastard Metal Knight, brat Child Emperor and idiot Tanktop had wanted to know more than she did, Child Emoperor even suggesting that her father and brother be dissected and studied.
Luckily, that hadn't lasted long.
"Are you serious?"
Those words had come from King, the most popular of the S-Rankers
"This is beyond anything we've ever faced…and you want to hurt some of our best chances? I thought we were heroes."
Child Emperor and Tank Top looked down in shame, which Tatsumaki enjoyed; the latter couldn't even weed out his dumbass 'rookie crusher' students and the brat had always ruibbed her wrong.
"If King can get legit angry over something…it's definitely serious." Child Emperor admitted.
At the end, only Metal Knight didn't agree to keep the secret or help fight against aliens. But Tatsumaki was fine with that; he was the least popular and weakest of the S-Rankers after all.
As she flew back, Tatsumaki then spied Izuku and that Ruby girl sharing Cookie-Burgers. Smiling at the happy looks on their faces, she took a picture which she shared with her parents and Yang.
INHERANT
"...Holy cow. For once I actually DID something! Like, REALLY did something!" King realized as he got home that day, a great pride filling him.
He had put those morons in their place! He knew smotheing big and had the favor of the other S-Rankers!
This was a good day for hi…!
Wait.
Uber powerful aliens?
Keeping said aliens a secret?
Him being an S-Ranker and supporting this?
That meant he'd have to train.
He'd never trained before!
"….SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…!"
To be continued….!
Mrotrax A/N: A little prelude to the awesomeness to CLASS MIGHT and some small bits of karma for Aldera and Katsuki. While Hisashi is not as ruthless as Nolan? Well, you mess with his family and he is MORE THAN WILLING to bloody his hands.
And we shall see more of this side of him in coming flashbacks…. And as we learn here, All Might is indeed stronger in this universe than the canon one; still being able to wipe the floor with the S-Rankers with his crippling injury.
I had wanted to have a full discussion between the S-Rankers, but sadly the dialogue was not coming to me. As this is my fave story among my co-ops with Knightmare Lord, I decided this had waited long enough and just posted what I had.
If the words DO come, I will re-edit this chapter with the fill dialogue.
And on the 15 S-Rank members? Blast doesn't exist in this verse and Genos has not yet been discovered.
Hopefully, the bit with the vestiges (whose talks like here I plan to make recurring events) makes up for the lack of the S-Rankers and Ruby in this chaopter.
Hope you're all doing well, stay safe and happy holidays!
