THE TALE OF IZUKU MIDORIYA
CHAPTER-2
On the morning of April 3rd, Wednesday, after Aizawa finished going over the battle trials in detail, he made the class choose a class representative. It started as chaos but Ida managed to convince everyone to use votes to decide the class rep.
In the end, izuku was chosen to fill that role and everyone congratulated him for it, the classes continued, but he had different views on the matter.
"I need to relinquish this post or my plans won't fall in order," he thought.
Eventually, lunchtime came and he was invited by Ida, uraraka, and Asui to join them for lunch and he accepted the offer.
…
They reached the cafeteria to see the rush of the students. Seeing this Izuku offered to hold a table while they got their lunches.
"But what about you?" Ida questioned.
"No need to worry, I have a homemade lunch," he said showing his small school bag and they nodded in understanding, "I will save a table by the window," izuku said.
The group thanked him and went to get in line for lunch.
On the other hand, izuku walked to an empty table by the window and sat down.
He looked out the window to see a huge crowd outside, "the media is still here?"
He had a run-in with them in the morning asking about All Might and how he is as a teacher.
About 20 minutes later his group came to the table with their lunch trays.
"Man, that was a long wait," uraraka stretched her arms above her head.
"Yes, but the food is worth it," Asui said.
"Hmm, that's true, this food is delicious, midoriya-san would you like to try some of mine," Ida offered.
Izuku smiled, "I am grateful for the offer Ida but I am fine,"
"If you say so," Ida replied.
The group started talking about the morning classes and 20 minutes passed by.
ZZZZZZ
The security alarm was triggered for some reason and the students panicked.
"what's happening!" uraraka asked panicking.
"How would I know! Ribbit" Asui exclaimed also panicked.
Ida stopped a senior student to ask some questions when izuku made his move.
As soon as the alarm went off everyone was panicking except Izuku, he stayed calm and started thinking his perception of time slowed down as he made quick mental calculations.
On his right was the window facing the front gate, Asui was sitting on his right and Ida was sitting opposite to him with uraraka on Ida's right, both girls were sitting on the opening.
Izuku quickly looked to his right and saw his homeroom and English teacher, Aizawa, and present mic holding the media, but what caught his attention was the dust flying off where the gate should be.
He ignored that for now in favor of stopping the commotion, he looked to his left to see Asui panicking more than the others, "her animal instincts must be kicking in," he realized and grabbed her by her right arm with his left and swung her upwards to the ceiling, "ribbbbit!" she landed on the ceiling stuck to it on instinct with her frog quirk.
"Asui-san stay there, Ida-san uraraka-san stay in the table area." izuku commanded in a tone of authority that surprised the three but they obeyed him.
Izuku closed his eyes and used his quirk to sense how many people were in the area when he sensed someone in a place where they shouldn't be.
His eyes hardened, "who is this person inside the school, I have never felt this presence and it's on the 16th floor in the faculty building,".
U.A. High School has four buildings close to each other, forming four corners of a square, each connected to the two closest to it by a skywalk (a glass bridge/ corridor in mid-air).
Right now, izuku and the group are in the north building and the presence he is after is in the south building, also known as the faculty building, where all the teachers and staff have rooms and offices for meetings and other reasons while the 15th floor is the principal's office, and this person is on the 16th floor the one which needs authority to access (details in chapter-1.2).
Izuku decided to check that out first, "Ida-san!" he said getting the boy's attention, "the alarm was triggered by the media outside, you have to handle this situation and ask uraraka-san and asui-san for assistance, I need to help the teachers,"
Ida was confused for a second but replied with determination, "You got it!" Iida said and izuku rushed to the cafeteria counter.
"Sorry lunch rush," he apologized to the disaster hero in his mind, jumped on top of the counter and got to the end of the hall and jumped to the door, and started running to the east building.
"Ida is rough around the edges but he is capable, and I can use this opportunity to give him the class rep role too," he thought as he entered the easy building and then turned right to make his way to the south building's skywalk.
"Normally someone being in the staff-only area is not a problem, but something's off here, the timing's off, why go to the file room during an emergency like this?" he thought as he reached the north building and ran up the stairways when he reached the 14th floor the presence disappeared completely izuku stopped dead on his tracks and narrowed his eyes, "what? The presence disappeared completely just now, a teleportation quirk most likely, what's happening."
He sighed, "No matter, I better get back to my class," he thought and left.
After lunch izuku gave the class representative position to Iida and the day proceeded peacefully, but izuku couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad would happen.
Chapter-2.2
Two days later on Friday, April 5th class, 1-A was standing inside the U.S.J. for their rescue training, the introductions with the space hero: thirteen, were finished and they were waiting for any instructions from their teachers.
Thirteen and Aizawa were talking when a purple mist suddenly appeared in the central area down the stairs and several villains stepped out.
"Ah, sensei is this a part of the rescue training?" Kirishima questioned.
"No, it isn't, these are real villains," Aizawa answered getting serious as he put his goggles on and prepared for battle.
"What!"
"What now,"
"We have to fight dumbass!"
Izuku's eyes narrowed as he looked at a villain surrounded by purple mist, "that's the presence from two days ago," he realized.
"Kaminari check if you can contact the school," Aizawa ordered and kaminari followed and used the headpiece on his right ear but nothing happened.
"Nothing, the connections are jammed," he replied.
Meanwhile with izuku, "Looks like I was right, the color of the portal matches his own mist plus the energy of the two is the same, it was a teleportation quirk after all. If he can teleport then he can divide us too,"
Izuku stepped to the front of the class and walked next to Aizawa and said, "Everyone, stand in groups of 5 or at least 3, cover each other's blind spots, and be prepared, Ida-san you are the fastest we can spare right now, we can't communicate with the school you have to bring help, run before the villains make their move," he instructed.
"Listen to him now!" Aizawa said loudly snapping everyone out of their daze and they listened except Ida.
"I-I can't leave you guys here like this I-I," he was confused, he wasn't sure if leaving his friend in danger was the right thing to do, he was letting his feelings be a hindrance in a situation like this and both izuku and Aizawa realized that.
"Ida-san, you are not leaving us behind, you are saving us, you are the only one who can do that task, go bring help we are all counting on you," izuku started.
"He is right, you are the only one who can do this job effectively, go before it's too late kid," Aizawa backed up izuku and Ida finally seemed to realize and saw his entire class looking at him with encouraging looks.
"I-I promise I will be back soon, I will bring help!" Ida declared and turned to dash outside when a purple mist appeared before him and the mist villain appeared in front of the exit, stopping Ida in his tracks.
"My apologizes but I can't let you leave this place," he said, "ah, where are my manners, I am known as Kurogiri and we are the League of Villains, pardon us for coming here uninvited but you see, we couldn't help it after learning that All Might was going to be here but it seems he isn't here yet for some reason, no worries we can kill him after he arrives." He said shocking everyone from U.A.
Izuku's eyes narrowed, "kurogiri? League of Villains? And most of all, kill All Might? How exactly are they going to do that? I can sense everyone here and not one of them is even at Aizawa sensei's level, no matter first we need to get Ida out of here," he decided.
"Aizawa sensei," he muttered low enough only for aizawa to hear, "the thugs are closing in, can you take care of them, I will handle things here," he said.
"What I can't let you kids fight, none of you are trained in proper combat yet," aizawa replied but he knew a fight was inevitable.
"We don't have an option here sensei but I am glad to know you are not as cold as you act," izuku said.
"Shut it, it's my job to protect you brats, that aside, can you really handle this villain?" aizawa asked.
"Yes, I can," izuku said and aizawa rushed down the long flight of stairs to engage the dozens of enemies alone putting his faith in nezu's mystery child.
Kurogiri took note of that, "Looks like your sensei left you all alone, what should we do now," he said.
Izuku's eyes narrowed this time dangerously, and his face didn't show a hint of emotion, "his body is covered in mist but he can teleport, it's a wrapping quirk, he doesn't just open portals, that mist itself is a portal, if I attack him the mist covering his body will take the attack somewhere else, I need to create a distraction to make an opening," he concluded.
In a great display of speed, izuku blurred from his spot and dashed towards Kurogiri.
"Wait what are you doing!" exclaimed thirteen as izuku passed them in an instant.
Izuku ignored what anyone was saying he unsheathed one of his katanas which was blunt, and threw it at kurogiri like a spear.
"Ha, foolish boy an attack like that won't work on me!" kurogiri said and brought his hands forward and launched smoke on the sword, unknown to him izuku had also caught a glimpse of the metal plate he was wearing.
"There," izuku thought calmly. he had dashed at a speed of around 30 kilometers an hour but in an instant, his speed jumped up to about 55 kilometers an hour letting him clear the distance in an instant as he slipped past kurogiri's fog and reached his right side.
"w-what," kurogiri thought shocked and panicked.
As Izuku reached his target, he spun on his right leg, his hands raised in a guard position, he used his entire body weight and momentum and kicked kurogiri like an expert fighter and sent kurogiri about 20 feet away throwing him off the edge towards the water disaster zone.
Everyone was surprised but izuku didn't waste any time and in a tone of authority, said, "Ida-san quickly leave before he comes back,"
It took Ida a second but he replied, "R-right," he stuttered and dashed out the entrance.
"Now-," izuku was cut off by a sound above him and everyone looked up to find kurogiri in the air again this time clutching the spot izuku had landed his kick on.
"One got away! Shigaraki is not going to be happy about this," he said more to himself, "but first I have to take care of the rest." He said and launched mist on the class.
"Move out!" izuku yelled and some managed to make distance.
Izuku and some others were wrapped away to different locations inside the U.S.J.
…
izuku appeared above a yacht and landed on it, he looked at the main deck to see asui and mineta fall on the yacht and jumped next to them.
"Are you two alright?" he asked letting his presence be known.
"Midoriya-san, I see you were sent here too, ribbit," asui started.
"Yes, what are your condition, any injuries," izuku asked.
"No, I am fine, ribbit," asui answered.
"S-same here," mineta also answered, but he looked on the verge of tears.
"Mineta-san calm down there is no merit in crying," izuku said looking towards the water, "besides we should be more worried about these guys," he said.
Confused asui and mineta followed izuku's line of sight to see about a dozen men swimming in the water.
"This doesn't look good ribbit," asui said.
"AHHHHH WE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED! NOOOO," mineta yelled.
Hearing this izuku's gaze intensified, "No" he said in a low serious tone making the other two look at him, he continued still looking at the villains surrounding them, "No one is dying today, you have my word," he said.
"w-what? H-how can you be so sure of that!" mineta exclaimed still panicking.
Izuku did not look at him and answered, "Because I am strong, stronger than anyone else in the U.S.J. right now,"
"Huu?"
"Ribbit?"
His 2 classmates were at a loss for words, so he just declared himself as the strongest like it was nothing even though their 2 sensei's and classmates like Todoroki and bakugo were there, who had displayed more destructive abilities, but izuku said those words with so much certainty that they didn't know what to say now.
"you two go upstairs, I will deal with these guys, after that we will go to the main entrance," izuku said.
"w-wait, take care of them? You don't mean you want to fight these guys alone do you, ribbit?" asui asked now showing her concern, mineta looked equally worried.
He gave them a side glance, "Yes I will take care of these guys you two need to get to a higher ground and stay out of reach,"
"a-are you crazy, you can't fight all these guys alone you'll-" Mineta's rant was cut off by izuku.
"In a time like this behavior like yours is a huge liability and you are wasting your energy as well, just listen to me and go," he said now walking to the railing to confront the villains.
Mineta and asui looked worried but decided to listen to izuku's request and went upstairs.
"Look a kid just came out,"
"let's crush him!"
"let's kill him!"
"You scared little boy,"
The villains started belittling izuku but his expression didn't change, after some moments izuku began,
"How about instead of just talking you guys come up here and fight me," he said.
Hearing that they started laughing loudly.
"Aww, the little boy is trying to be a hero,"
"Wait, wait remember that we are in the presence of the great U.A. student we have to quiver in fear HA," one said sarcastically.
"We have no reason to come up there we can just wait till you brats come down,"
The villains began to tease and threaten him but he still didn't show any expression.
"One of my classmates has escaped the facility and will reach the main building soon," izuku said getting the villain's attention who now stopped talking after learning that detail.
"The pro heroes will be here soon, your little play is over, I can stay here all day and wait but your only option is to come up here and take me hostage to escape, and for that, you need to fight me," he explained.
The villains tensed up at the realization, that the brat was right, they now started to think if they should go up there to fight or not when- "Oh, don't tell me,"
Izuku raised his head slightly and let his bangs shadow his eyes making it seem like they were glowing, "you all are scared of fighting this little boy, Huu" he proved to them.
a successful attempt.
"Why you," one gritted his teeth
"We gotta teach this brat a lesson!" someone yelled
"LET'S GO!" someone yelled and they all rushed to climb up the yacht.
"Good," izuku thought and moved back to the center of the deck.
"ARE YOU CRAZY, WHY DID MAKE THEM ANGRY!" yelled mineta but asui smacked him with the front tongue, "you're not helping," she told him and then looked at izuku.
"But are you sure you don't need any help," she asked him in a concerned tone.
With his back turned to them he said, "Don't worry, just hide," and looked at the first villain on the deck.
"THERE YOU ARE!" a villain with fins on his forearms yelled and charged izuku.
Izuku didn't even bother to get into any fighting stances or use his quirk.
The villain yelled and threw a left haymaker, however when he was just 2 feet away izuku lunged in and used his right and stop the haymaker by grabbing his cubital fossa (inside of the elbow), and gut-punched him, making him spit up saliva and fall to the ground unconscious and turned to face the other villains there.
He engaged all the villains and knocked them unconscious with relative ease, they used their quirks on him, which were all water-based but izuku just dodged and deflected all the attacks and defeated them all with relative ease using different martial arts.
Mineta and asui who were hiding at a higher level on the yacht were in awe of izuku's hand-to-hand combat skills.
"w-woah, h-he's so good," mineta muttered as izuku stopped another punch by grabbing a person's wrist with his left hand, pulled him closer, and delivered an elbow to his jaw knocking him out.
"Yeah, and he is so calm, like an expert, ribbit," asui muttered as izuku ducked under a water cannon and charged another villain about 15 feet away.
After about 5 minutes only 3 villains remained standing, they had realized none of them were capable of defeating izuku so they decided to charge in together.
"YAAAAA!" they all charged.
One villain was behind izuku and the other two were coming from his left and right sides.
"I'll have to time it right," izuku thought and skipped 2 steps back closing the distance between him and the villain charging from behind him.
"Now," he said to himself when the villain behind him was close enough.
Izuku performed a backflip and rotated 180 degrees mid-air. Now he was upside down right above the villain and grabbed the villain's head like a basketball and used it to twist faster in the air while pushing the man down, this took about 2 seconds in real-time. It was then that the other 2 villains reached him close enough to attack but izuku who had broken his previous momentum delivered a split kick to their faces knocking them out instantly while the first villain hit his chin in the ground and was knocked out as well.
"That's all of them," izuku thought and looked toward his classmates, "that's all of them you guys can come out now," he said loud enough for them to hear.
Asui and mineta came down still in awe at izuku's skill display.
"Man, how did you do that, your quirk must be super strong," mineta said in awe.
Izuku looked at him and blinked, "I didn't use my quirk," he said shocking the two.
"w-what," mineta muttered.
"b-but then how did you do all that? Ribbit" asui asked.
Izuku turned and started walking to the railing and answered her, "My level of martial arts skills are achievable for all people but only with years of hard work and determination," he continued, "but we don't have time for small talks, let's go," he said as he reached the railing and leaned over seemingly trying to find something.
The other two nodded and walked to him, "should we swim," mineta asked.
"Seems to be the only option ribbit," asui said.
"No," izuku said again getting their attention, "if the U.S.J. is for real-life training then this yacht must have a lifeboat too, we can use that," he said, and the other two nodded after hearing that.
"There," izuku thought as he saw an orange emergency boat, and a few minutes later the group was on the water heading for the central plaza.
Izuku spoke up, "aizawa sensei is still fighting the villains in the central plaza, I will help him there, and you too will take the raft and go to the wall close to the entrance and climb it with your quirks, and it's not up for debate, you two have already seen how good I am," he didn't leave any room for an argument.
When they reached the central plaza izuku hopped off and the other two wished him good luck and left.
Izuku looked at the two for a moment and then turned to go and help his sensei.
Chapter 2.4
Shota aizawa was in a bit of trouble right now, his students were all over the U.S.J. fighting villains, the only other hero in the facility was defeated and before that, he had to rely on one of his students to help him.
The only reason he put faith in Izuku Midoriya was because nezu handpicked him. After that aizawa went to engage all the villains down in the central plaza. The enemies were weak as individuals but there were too many of them and he was having a hard time because of that.
"What should I do, there are still about 30 of them left, I might run out of stamina now," aizawa thought.
He was trying to come up with an idea when a villain charged him from behind, aizawa was too busy dealing with 2 more in front of him and was prepared to take the attack when he heard a crashing sound and turned to see what happened alongside the villains he was fighting, and he saw a familiar face.
"Midoriya," he muttered.
Indeed, it was Izuku midoriya, who had just entered the battlefield by kicking the villain behind aizawa in the face and knocking him out.
"a brat?" a villain questioned.
"what's he doing here,"
"don't know but we can use him as a hostage,"
"I'm surprised your peanut-sized brain can come up with such an idea,"
"Hey!"
They thought the fight would be easy and got ready to charge izuku but stopped when they heard izuku's statement to aizawa.
"Sensei, 23 villains unconscious on the yacht in the water disaster area," he said, surprising aizawa.
"23! How did you- Ah never mind, any injuries?" aizawa investigated composing himself.
"None, also 2 of my classmates are safe now," izuku said.
"Good," aizawa said, "now tell me why you are here," he asked.
Izuku looked at him, confused, "To help you…"
"I don't need help," aizawa said.
Izuku looked at him from top to bottom, but he didn't say anything Aizawa's clothes were dirty and he was panting, there was no need to say anything.
Aizawa also knew that his student couldn't leave without a fight now and aizawa also needed help right now, he decided he would have to fight alongside izuku and accepted that fact.
"what's your quirk sensei," izuku asked.
"It lets me erase anyone's quirks for as long as I look at them without blinking," he answered not wasting time.
Izuku turned back to see the villains getting ready to attack them, izuku without turning his head asked, "Sensei?"
"Yeah," aizawa replied the same way.
"don't worry about your back," izuku said, "I have it covered." He finished.
Aizawa couldn't help but smirk, "and I have yours," he said.
Then a villain yelled, "GET THEM!"
"YAAA!" the rest charged the student-teacher duo.
Without a word aizawa and izuku charged their opponents and used their martial arts skills to deal with the villains effectively.
Aizawa also noticed how izuku was using different martial arts styles in the fight and was impressed by it.
"So, he knows multiple martial arts styles, I can already identify karate and aikido and those two are good for fighting groups," aizawa thought and then focused on his own enemies.
Slowly but surely all the villains were knocked unconscious by the duo and the duo looked at the ringleader of the invasion, they both realized one thing.
The real battle was about to begin.
Izuku looked over the man with hands stuck all over him, "I assume this is their leader, shigaraki I believe," he directed the question at aizawa without taking his eyes off shigaraki.
"He is the leader but how do you know his name?" aizawa asked while watching kurogiri.
"The mist villain mentioned his name before teleporting half of the class," izuku answered.
"I see," aizawa replied.
On the other hand, shigaraki was having a rollercoaster of emotions, anger, frustration, hate, and the reason. It's the lime-haired boy. Eraser head was going to be defeated by those worthless thugs, but then the boy came out of nowhere and the two defeated all the thugs he had brought in a matter of minutes, to make matters worse, All Might was still not here, and a student had escaped earlier because of this boy, and now the boy was staring at him with a challenging look like he was capable of defeating him.
"HOW DARE HE!" shigaraki thought and made a decision, he looked at kurogiri, "kurogiri bring the nomu," he said.
Kurogiri's face was covered in mist so you couldn't tell but when he turned to question shigaraki you could tell he was a bit shocked which worried aizawa and izuku.
"s-shigaraki are you sure, i-I mean All Might is still-" kurogiri was cut off by shigaraki.
"I know what I want," shigaraki said to him and turned his head to look at izuku, "right now, I want him dead," he said in a rigid voice filled with hatred.
Kurogiri nodded and opened a portal from which a huge purple-colored creature with a bird-like face and exposed brain appeared.
As soon as the creature appeared izuku's eyes widened in shock, "this thing…"
"Aizawa sensei don't let your guard down, this creature is almost as strong as All Might," izuku informed, and the tension in his voice was clear.
Aizawa's eyes widened in shock but he composed himself quickly and asked, "How do you know this,"
"My quirk," izuku answered.
"You know it's about dame time I learn about your quirk," aizawa said.
Izuku gave aizawa a side look and looked back at the nomu, "I haven't named my quirk yet, but here are my abilities," he said in a low voice so only aizawa could hear him, "my quirk lets me manipulate my own life force, but I can only use my own life force and use it in different ways, the most basic application of my quirk lets me enhance my physical abilities depending on how much energy I put in my limbs or overall body but there is a limit to how much energy my body or limbs can handle depending on my overall life force and physique. Second, being able to use my life force makes me sensitive to other life forces which led me to create an ability that lets me sense nearby life forces. This is what I used to locate Ida in the battle trials. I can distinguish between different people and tell how strong they are by the overall life force they have, but there is a limit to how far I can sense, and before you ask my current limit is the inside of U.S.J. so I can't tell if any back-up is near or not. There is one more ability but that takes prep time and is still in the testing stage and non-combat based so no point in talking about it right now," izuku finished.
"Theoretically I can do far more than just physical enhancements and sensing but I never had the chance to be creative with my quirk till now so I never went further, but that's not something I am telling you for now, I still can't trust you completely, sorry aizawa-sensei," izuku thought.
"That's a good quirk kid, now what's the drawback," aizawa asked with an uneasy smirk.
Because of his experience on the battlefield, he knew that an ability like that usually comes with nasty drawbacks too.
Izuku was slightly impressed, "guess he does know a thing or two," he thought and answered aizawa indirectly, "My life force is like electricity and I am like a phone, what happens when a phone runs out of battery," he said and Aizawa's eyes widened.
"I see, so if you push yourself too far and run out of energy then you die?" he confirmed.
"Yes, but my stamina and life force are connected so I will start getting tired as I reach my limit,"
"So, you can die of exhaustion," aizawa got to the point.
"Yes," izuku answered hurriedly.
They had to finish strategizing quickly because it looked like shigaraki and kurogiri were about to finish whatever they were talking about.
"When you said that thing is almost as strong as All Might you used your sensing ability, how much compared to All Might and how accurate is your estimate?" aizawa questioned.
"About 90% to 95% of All Might, my estimate is 100% accurate," izuku answered confidently.
Aizawa asked, "And how strong are you?"
"Depends on how much life force my body can handle if I evenly run it through my entire body, but I know I can't beat this thing even if I go all out," he answered.
Aizawa just sighed, the kid's quirks are too complicated to understand in a matter of minutes. Aizawa gritted his teeth in frustration, anyone can tell that thing won't need a strength enhancement quirk to kill aizawa izuku's body-enhancement quirk is their best bet right now, and they still don't know if the creature has a strength enhancement quirk itself to top of his muscular body.
"Sensei do you know Shigaraki's quirk," izuku questioned.
aizawa let out a "Huh?" and izuku answered.
"I know Kurogiri's has a wrapping quirk but what can the leader do?"
"If he touches anything with his five fingers he can turn them into dust, he killed a few villains I defeated out of frustration and destroyed something too, he seems to be avoiding touching things he doesn't want to destroy with all his fingers so it might be a quirk that's always active," aizawa answered with a hint of anger in his voice when he mentioned the killing part.
Izuku however didn't look surprised, something aizawa couldn't see, and nodded to the new information.
"a wrapping quirk and destroying quirk that's always active," izuku's eyes narrowed as an idea came up.
"Aizawa sensei I have a plan, when I give you a signal, use your quirk on shigaraki once and make sure kurogiri doesn't interfere with my fight" izuku explained his strategy.
"what's the signal," aizawa asked.
"you'll know," izuku answered getting a raised eyebrow in return, but the time for questions was over.
As he said that the nomu began moving towards them and they got ready in battle stands when aizawa asked in a panic.
"What! And who will handle that thing!" he asked hurriedly as the nomu began charging faster with each step.
"I will," izuku said calmly, and for the first time since the attack on U.S.J. began, he used his quirk and at full power at that and moved toward the nomu at a speed that aizawa missed.
"What the!" were the thoughts of aizawa, shigaraki, and kurogiri, all of them only saw a blur.
But the nomu saw izuku clearly and cocked back his right fist to punch izuku.
Izuku pulled the sheath of the blunt sword he threw at Kurogiri earlier and threw it at the nomu making the creature use his left massive hand to flick it away in the process creating a blind spot for itself for half a second, which was exactly what izuku wanted.
Izuku used his other and only sharp sword and lunged at the nomu skited on his knees, and slashed at the nomu's right leg with the intent to cut it off.
However, he met disappointment when the sword didn't go through the leg completely but did cause a massive deep cut that healed itself.
"It can heal too?!, Its durability is also high, I put my life force into the sword to increase its durability and put all my strength but I only went half in deep I clearly can't beat it with strength," izuku analyzed.
"He managed to cut through the nomu's skin!?" thought an alarmed shigaraki.
"This kid!" thought kurogiri.
Izuku backed away from the nomu making distance and waited for the creature to make a move.
The nomu turned and leaped at izuku and punched him, however with a sudden burst of speed, izuku leaps backward just in the nick of time, narrowly escaping the deadly strike that created a small crater on the ground and wind pressure which sent izuku another 20 feet away, but the nomu charged again and izuku also dodged again by a hair.
Izuku suddenly jumped in closer instead of making distance and kept dodging any attacks the nomu threw by a narrow margin, "I can't beat it in physical abilities but if I stay close then I can use its large size to my advantage and keep dodging while trying some attacks." Izuku tried a slash at its chest but the cut healed instantly and any punches and kicks did not have any effect either.
Suddenly izuku stabbed the nomu in the chest but the blade didn't even go halfway deep and when he pulled it, the blade didn't move, izuku looked at the nomu and only one thought came to his mind, "Not good," as the nomu swung its right hand and sent izuku flying.
Izuku managed to put up his left hand in a guard position and managed to save his head from taking much damage and crashing on the ground multiple times he fell in a defense stance as the nomu didn't waste any time and got to him and grabbed him by his right leg and threw him again this time making him crash into the wall next to the staircase to the entrance.
"Midoriya!" aizawa was trying to nullify any of the nomu's quirk but it didn't work while keeping an eye on kurogiri, "it can heal and have superhuman strength! Multiple quirks?!"
"Ahh! The nomu can't be defeated you all are going to die!" yelled shigaraki like a maniac.
Izuku jumped out of the small crater in the wall that the nomu made and stumbled a bit but stood, this time a little more confident, "so this thing doesn't have intelligence Huu, that makes things easier," he realized from its combat style as he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and pulled it making a disturbing sound without a hint of emotion or discomfort on his face.
"What the- did he just fix a dislocated shoulder," thought aizawa in shock.
Izuku and nomu charged at each other and the nomu threw a right punch when izuku lunged and threw a left kick on the nomu's wrist changing its track and using his huge arms as a footing and turning his body delivering a satisfying right kick to the nomu's exposed brain making it bleed.
"What! How," shigaraki yelled.
"He made the nomu bleed!?" said a shocked kurogiri
Aizawa smiled, "Maybe we do have hope, at most, we have to stall till Ida gets the other heroes, but how did midoriya do it, his strength wasn't enough to change the trajectory of its attacks earlier?"
Izuku did a backhand spring and charged in again delivering six extremely fast punches to its Solar Plexus this time the nomu coughed up blood and nomu fell on its right knee and izuku used this opportunity and delivered an axe kick to its head.
Shigaraki and kurogiri were shocked and terrified, "h-how the hell is he doing this! It has shock absorption so how- HOW DID HE DAMAGE THE NOMU!" yelled shigaraki at top of his lungs and kurogiri was thinking along the same line.
Izuku had targeted the solar plexus while using his 'monster strength' technique and damaged the bundle of nerves causing dysfunction in the nomu.
Izuku jumped back and went close to aizawa as both heard about the nomu's shock absorptions.
"So, it has shock absorption too? No wonder I couldn't cancel it, my quirk doesn't know which quirk to target, how many quirks does that make?" aizawa questions izuku.
"3, shock absorption, physical enhancements, and healing," izuku answered wiping some blood from his face caused by the attacks he received from the nomu earlier.
"I see, so how did your attacks work,"
"It's a technique I created, by storing my life force into my hands or feet and releasing it onto the target with pinpoint timing. It increased the strength of the attack tremendously, but I haven't mastered it yet, so I waste more life force in each attack by using a constant stream of energy going out my fist from an instance before the attack lands, but if I master the timing, I can use the wasted energy to deliver even more damage, but it takes a lot of life force, if I keep using it I'll exhaust myself faster, the technique's called 'monster strength'" izuku explained.
"I see, we'll worry about mastering it after we survive this," aizawa said.
"Hmm?" izuku looked at him.
Aizawa looked back, "what?"
"What do you mean master it later we need it now," izuku replied and aizawa looked at him like he was stupid.
"What do you mean, we need this now," izuku said.
"Yeah, but we don't have time to-," Suddenly Aizawa's eyes widened now he looked stupid, "don't tell me you plan to train in the middle of a fight,"
"Well, that's the only option I have, don't forget the plan," with that izuku dashed to the nomu, not listening to whatever aizawa was about to say.
"he's going to train in the middle of a fight," thought a stupefied aizawa.
The nomu punched the air a few times creating a wind blast, izuku jumped over or sidestepped them all.
The nomu sent one more and izuku made a long front flip over it and landed in a skid close to the nomu and kicked the back of its knee with his strength technique bringing it to its knee again and backhand sprung and got to his feet, jumped straight and threw another punch to its head, however.
This time the nomu caught his entire forearm and punched him.
Izuku only had enough time to clench his teeth and use his quirk to increase his durability as the punch landed. It felt like a whole truck crashed into him at full speed, and the only reason he was still conscious was because he enhanced his durability.
"Ahh! Finally!" breathed out shigaraki.
"I was a bit worried there," kurogiri said.
The nomu let go of his arm and this time he couldn't stay on his feet and fell on his butt, suddenly on instinct he brought his forearms above his head in a cross position as the nomu punched him again this time creating a crater as a cloud of smoke formed.
"MIDORIYA!" aizawa yelled as he began to charge but-.
"NO!" izuku yelled still in the smoke cloud and aizawa stopped, "DON'T COME HERE! DON'T FORGET WHAT I SAID EARLIER!" he yelled.
Aizawa clenched his teeth in frustration but stepped back and kept his focus on kurogiri, "you better make it out alive kid,"
Izuku used his quirk at his best to increase his durability and clenched his teeth tightly as the nomu punched him over and over.
SMASH!
Cough
SMASH!
crack
SMASH!
Cough,
SMASH!
crunch
The nomu punched him, again and again, making the crater bigger each time and izuku coughed blood and saliva, some ribs and several bones broke from the ruthless strikes, his nose, and head were bleeding and his left eye was filled with blood, bruises were forming all over his body and some on his face, only his lower body was still usable for combat with the arms being in excruciating pain as well.
The nomu picked him up by the head showing his bloody form.
Seeing this shigaraki started laughing manically while kurogiri's mist covered what he could be feeling.
"HAHAHAHA! FINALLY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW BRAT, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BEAT US BUT YOU CAN'T! NO ONE CAN! WE ARE THE ONE'S WHO WILL KILL ALL MIGHT! HAHAHAHA!" shigaraki started blabbering and taunting izuku.
On the other side, aizawa was in shock when he saw izuku's bloody form, his first instinct was to rush in and save his student but he didn't when he saw izuku blink at him.
Aizawa's eyes widened, "morse code," indeed, izuku was using Morse code and aizawa realized that this was the signal izuku talked about.
"Dammit FINE!" aizawa thought as izuku gave him the signal.
Izuku looked at the blabbing shigaraki and chuckled, getting everyone's attention.
"What the hell are you laughing about, the thought of death made you psycho or what," shigaraki said confused.
Izuku stopped chuckling, "No just amused at the thought that someone like you thinks they can kill All Might,".
Shigaraki's eyes narrowed, and he suppressed his rising anger, "What are you trying to say, that I can't kill All Might, I have the nomu in my command," he said.
"ha-ha, exactly, the nomu might be able to kill All Might, you can't. you can't even kill me, if you could you wouldn't be standing there waiting for me to be defeated by this nomu creature." izuku said.
Shigaraki went quiet for a few seconds, and then chuckled, "I see, so if I kill you with my own hands will that convince you,"
izuku looked at him through his bloody eyes his head still in the nomu's grasp, "Maybe, but that doesn't matter not like you can do it,"
"Maybe I can, NOMU! bring this brat here, I will kill him with my own hands," shigaraki ordered loudly and the nomu complied and started walking towards him.
Aizawa's eyes widened as he recalled, "That's now how we want things to go," but before he could take any action izuku laughed again.
Shigaraki grumbled, "What now,".
"Nothing, it's just that even in my bloody and beaten form you need the nomu next to you, Hehe," izuku answered.
Shigaraki scowled, "Fine," he smirked, "nomu throw him to my feet," the nomu complied and threw izuku to his feet.
"Ahh, shigaraki-san I don't think this is a good idea-", "Shut up kurogiri," kurogiri was cut off by shigaraki who continued to move closer to izuku.
Izuku lay with his head up, his blood soaking the ground as shigaraki walked to him and brought his hand close to izuku's face.
"So, what were you saying brat," shigaraki said letting his rage leak out as he placed his Pinky on izuku's cheek.
"Something about me not being able to kill All Might," he placed his ring finger on his cheek now more hate present in his voice as well.
"You thought you were on to something hmm," he mocked izuku placing his middle finger on his face.
"But you weren't and now you will die," he said sinisterly placing his thumb on izuku's face.
"Since I am about to kill you, I'll tell you how you'll die, as I place this last finger on you my quirk 'decay' which's always active will turn you to dust."
Shigaraki's eyes widened menacingly showing the hate and evil deep within him as he chuckled creepily, he spat out, "Any last words 'hero'"
Izuku looked at him weakly and as the last finger touched his face he muttered, "Thanks for the conformation,"
Nothing happened.
"Hmm!" Shigaraki's eyes widened as he looked up to see Aizawa's glowing red eyes on him and both kurogiri and shigaraki realized that they had ignored Aizawa's presence because of izuku's battle with the nomu.
"What!" shigaraki thought enraged.
"Dammit I let my guard down," kurogiri thought panicked, and got ready to use his quirk.
Sucking in a breath izuku used the last of his strength and grabbed Shigaraki's wrist, twisting it painfully, and jumped back to his feet and quickly tackled him to the ground.
"Shigaraki-san," kurogiri yelled and tried to use his quirk but failed, "Huu?" he looked to see aizawa targeting him now.
Panicked, shigaraki yelled, "NOMU SAVE ME! SAVE ME!" the nomu followed its orders and charged izuku who was pinning shigaraki on the ground.
"Just I little closer," izuku thought as he sensed the nomu approach them.
"15 feet,"
"10 feet,"
"5 feet,"
"NOW!"
The nomu reached out to grab izuku's back when izuku shifted to his right pulling Shigaraki's wrist, "it's over," izuku thought.
"it worked," aizawa sighed, relieved.
"w-what," kurogiri muttered dumbfounded.
"Huu?" was all shigaraki could let out.
Reason?
Izuku pulled Shigaraki's wrist and brought his palm towards the approaching nomu and when the nomu's palm made a slight contact the nomu faded into dust.
Izuku quickly rolled out of Shigaraki's reach got to his feet and stumbled as close to aizawa as he could for safety but fell halfway, as his body gave out to the pain, "we only won because the nomu lacked intelligence and shigaraki was a weak fool with a quirk suited for us to use," as he fell into unconsciousness, he saw aizawa approach him and a yell of "I AM HERE!" this last thought, "your late…"
With that, he fell unconscious.
Chapter 2.6
"How is the test going," a male, adult voice spoke.
"Everything appears to be good; the subject is excelling at all tasks assigned, his progress is incredible," another male voice spoke.
"How are his vitals?" the first voice questioned.
"Normal, the subject appears to be stable right now," this time a female voice spoke.
The first voice asked some more questions and after hearing the answers to all of them he made a decision.
"Very well then, subject '7-97's' training difficulty will be increased by three times," he said.
Some looked at him inquisitively and one asked, "Will that be wise doctor, what if the subject can't handle the pressure?" the voice held no concern for the subject in question.
Some others also felt the same way, out of the hundreds, subject '7-97' is the only one who met and surpassed their expectations with his natural birth abilities and effort alone.
The doctor in question looked at the monitors in front of them which showed a little boy with lime hair and lime eyes, in a hospital gown. The boy's hands had some blood in them which leaked out of his bruised knuckles, his face also had a bruise on it and his lip was bleeding as well, 5 adults were lying around him bleeding and unconscious, however more worrying were his lifeless eyes, there was no emotion or hope in them.
He is in a room where everything is black the walls, the floor, and the ceiling, everything is black except the many white lights on the ceiling, there are no windows in the room and only one metal door.
The boy looked forward at the doctor entering the room, the doctor was slim and tall, with black hair onyx eyes and glasses, and an emotionless expression, he stood in front of the boy.
"Excellent performance," he said but his voice had no praise in it, "your training will be increased starting tomorrow, so be prepared"
The boy didn't change his expression and answered in an emotionless tone, "Understood doctor,"
A few seconds of silence later the doctor said, "You do remember your purpose in life, right?" it wasn't a question.
He placed his right hand on the child's head and continued, "You train for our victory, you bleed for our victory, you exist for our victory," his voice wasn't louder, its tone didn't change either but there was something about it, something dark.
"You are our tool to be used, you will live if we want you to and you will die when we tell you to, your desire or choice doesn't matter never forget that," he finished and walked out of the room without hearing or waiting for a reply from the boy.
The boy was unfazed, this was normal for the 8-year-old Izuku Midoriya.

"Gasp," izuku jolted awake and the first thing he noticed was the pain in his entire body, but he ignored it and looked to see a white ceiling as the smell of antiseptic filled his nose, "hospital?" he thought.
"Oh, dear you woke up," he heard an old, and feminine voice, "you must be wondering where you are, this is the U.A. high's medical bay and I am recovery girl the school nurse, you were brought here after the attack at the U.S.J."
Izuku processed this information and asked, "Is everyone okay?".
Izuku couldn't see but recovery girl was happy from his question, "his first concern was the safety of others that are a good quality for a hero," she thought with a smile and answered, "Yes your classmates are fine, The heroes got there on time, All Might's presence caused two villains to escape as aizawa was distracted in helping you but the other villains were captured, you're the only one with injuries that needed my skills, aizawa said that your quirk uses your stamina faster than normal so I refrained from using my quirk on you too much so there are some injuries left but I can fix them later," she said.
"I see, what were my injuries," he asked.
"Oh, there are more than a few, broken arms, dislocated joints, broken ribs, concussion, external and internal bleeding, right lung punctured, bruises, and some smaller things but now, three broken ribs, and some bruises and cuts and you'll need a cast on your left arm till I can use my quirk again," she informed with a motherly smile, most likely not worried because she had experience in treating such injuries.
"I see," he absorbed the information, "all of that from a few punches," he thought.
"How long have I been asleep for?" he asked weakly.
"You work up quite fast for your injuries, it's Sunday, eight fifty-five PM (8:55 PM). You've been asleep for about," she paused and thought, "two and a half days," she said.
Izuku hummed as an answered a bit drowsy, and recovery girl smiled.
"You should stay asleep, you need it after all, I'll come to check up on you in the morning," she said as she walked out and izuku fell asleep again.
…
Somewhere else in the U.A. High campus, a staff meeting with a police official was sitting when recovery girl entered.
Nezu was about to ask about izuku but aizawa beat him to it, "how is he?"
Recovery girl looked at him and smiled seeing the concern for his student, "he just woke up, but he's asleep again, no need to worry he'll make a full recovery," she answered.
"I see," aizawa calmed down, he was still angry with himself for being weak and sending his student in to fight the most dangerous villain he had encountered in his life till now.
Nezu noticed this and said, "Eraser head I understand how you feel, I also feel responsible for what happened, but we have to decide what to do next," he said and aizawa paid attention.
Aizawa heard this and sighed, "Right, let's begin,"
"Tell us everything you can please," nezu said and aizawa began explaining everything, how izuku handled kurogiri how aizawa went to fight the other villains, and later how izuku showed up and helped him beat the rest and the battle with nomu, also explained them about izuku's quirk and his 'monster strength' technique.
"I see so this 'monster strength' managed to damage the nomu?" nezu asked.
"Yes," aizawa said.
"Strength enhancement? Sounds a lot like you All Might," hound-dog directed the question towards All Might.
All Might was also blaming himself for what happened before the meeting started but right now, he was focused so when hound-dog looked towards All Might, he answered, "Yes, it is a lot like mine but not the same, I use pre-existing strength and use my stamina to keep it going through my body but it sounds like young Midoriya's quirk turns his stamina itself to increase his physical abilities," All Might explained and other others nodded.
"Two students, Asui Tsuyu and Minoru Mineta's statements say that izuku midoriya was able to defeat 23 villains single-handedly with ease and later claimed to have not used his quirk to combat said 23 villains," present mic, a man with blond hair and sunglasses said surprising others.
"23 villains with his quirk?" asked Cementoss a cement block-like man.
"Yes, and the statements of the students match so at most the statements are true but it could be that midoriya lied to impress his classmates, he is a kid after all," present mic was calm for once since the situation was serious.
"It could be, but you're saying that because you haven't met the kid," aizawa said getting everyone's attention.
"Huu?"
Aizawa looked at the present mic, "This kid behaves more like an adult, during the fight he didn't show any emotions, the only time he did he was chuckling and laughing to fool Shigaraki," aizawa then told them about the battle trials further impressing them.
Silence fell in the room as everyone was thinking about what they learned.
A few seconds later All Might spoke, "Aizawa-san earlier you said they were planning to kill me with this nomu creature, how strong was it?"
This got everyone's attention as they looked at aizawa for the answer.
"According to midoriya, it was about 90% to 95% as strong as you but of course, I can't tell how accurate he is," aizawa said.
Of course, while a few knew izuku was better than average, they couldn't trust the words who in their eyes is an inexperienced child.
"Wait so even if we take Midoriya's words seriously, how did he keep up with that kind of power, surely he wasn't suggesting he's as good as that?" Cementoss asked.
Aizawa answered, "No, in fact, he himself said he's not strong enough to beat that thing, it was mostly luck and his martial arts skill that kept him alive, and the battle itself only lasted about 2 minutes at best, the kid was only moved for like 30 seconds before falling unconscious from less than 10 punches, his 'monster strength' only stalled for a few seconds and the nomu healed near instantaneously, by no means was it a fight, it was a beatdown and we only won because of luck and a good plan," aizawa said and silence fell.
"Aizawa-san how strong do you think the nomu was?" the police official named Naomasa Tsukachi asked.
"Well, my eyes couldn't keep up with the nomu's speed so I would say up there in the top 50 Japanese heroes," this surprised them, everyone in this room knew that while eraser head can cancel quirks by looking at them, he also gets a slower time perception which lets his eyes keep up with targets faster normal.
In this recovery girl noticed something, "wait, does that mean young midoriya is at the level of a top 50 pro hero?" she asked and this made everyone realize that midoriya kept up with this thing at some level.
"Well, my eyes couldn't keep up with his speed either so think of it this way, but based on the point of contact I'll say by the time midoriya covered 10 feet the nomu covered 30 feet at the same time, so, about 30 percent of the nomu, of course, this is my guess I have nothing to prove myself right"
"Man, that's strong so about the level of a top-"
Aizawa cut present mic off, "Don't start ranking him yet, physical strength is not the only factor, the likes of Best Jeanist and Hawks, are at the top of the hero ranking because of their skills, there are heroes in the top 10 who's quirks don't increase their physical abilities,"
"r-right, sorry," present mic apologized, they knew aizawa could be a little more sensitive about certain things and the comment about izuku's strength could cause subconscious favoritism by teachers something aizawa wouldn't let happen even if the chances were low and the fact that this in long term could put stress on izuku from others' expectations.
"That aside this nomu problem is more important than Midoriya's power scaling right now," Tsukachi said getting everyone's attention.
"There are more than twenty thousand heroes in our country and if this thing can cause trouble or even top 100 then anyone below the top 200 or 300 is in danger and 100 people can't protect the entire country. If one shows up randomly by the wrapping quirk villain," Tsukachi addressed the main topic of the meeting again.
Again, they realized that if izuku and aizawa failed at their plan, they could have lost a student and maybe even more than that.
"No matter what we can't let something like this happen again," nezu began, "If Aizawa-san and young midoriya had failed at using Shigaraki's quirk against him, the situation would be a lot more different, and we all know that a victory like this can't be repeated," nezu began.
All Might clenched his fist, "Yes, you're right, we have to track down these villains," he turned to Tsukachi, "Can you begin the investigation soon?"
Tsukachi nodded, "yes this case is our main project right now,"
"Good, I'd like to help as much as I can so feel free to ask, meanwhile we will increase the security of our U.A.," nezu said glad that they were making progress.
"Before we discuss that, what about the sports festival?" midnight asked.
"We will hold a sports festival like always, not doing so will send a message of weakness to the public," nezu answered and so discussions began about the festival and its security, the school security updates, and such.
After about an hour the meeting was over and nezu was back in his office.
He sighed, "This was a disaster and if not for young midoriya and Aizawa-sensei the worst could have happened," he thought.
He was worried about izuku's health too, even if midoriya was a mystery he wanted to solve he was a student of nezu's school first and izuku's safety and progress were more important and right now nezu was glad that izuku would make a full recover.
"And if by any chance his power is around All Might's 30% then he just might be one of the strongest hero students we ever had in freshmen," he thought, after all, All Might's 30% strength was no joke, he could lift and run with a bus full of passengers with ease, and his 'monster strength' technique would increase his attack power tremendously according to izuku, but there was no way to tell if Aizawa's guess was right so they will have to just wait and watch.
"But I might not even have time to look into him, after all the 'hero public safety commission' will do anything to strip me of my power and position and the U.S.J. incident will definitely be used against me," he thought.
"Well guess I'll have to go 'plus ultra'," he chuckled at the end.

-Somewhere in a bar-
Only two men were in a bar and one was throwing a tantrum and yelling about how 'the brat' used 'hacks or something' to win.
This man-child is shigaraki, who is still trying to recover from his defeat while the other man kurogiri is trying to stop him and save the furniture from Shigaraki's childish wrath when a voice from a TV screen comes.
"You must calm down young shigaraki," a deep voice spoke and shigaraki actually stopped and looked at the TV.
"Master I-" he was cut off.
"There is no need for explanation young Tomura," the master spoke, "defeat is acceptable since it was your first try but what matters is that if you learned something from it, understood?"
"Yes, master,"
Their talk continued and, in the end, shigaraki's goal remained the same.
To destroy the hero society.
Chapter 2.8
Monday, 8th April
-at U.A. High School-
Recovery girl walked in to check on midoriya only to find him in his school uniform.
"What are you doing young man?" she questioned both confused and a bit worried.
He turned to look at her, "Good morning recovery girl, I was getting ready for my classes," he answered like it was normal when I wasn't since, "You just healed from several injuries you need rest!" she said, "and how did you even where to get your uniform on?!"
"Oh, it was just lying they're on the chair next to me so I decided to get ready," he was cut off,
"That's not what I mean, your right arm is still broken," she asked.
"Well, it hurt a bit but I managed to get it done," he said calmly.
"Well, no point because you are not going to your class, you need rest so I can use my quirk on you and heal the remaining injuries, there are still bruises, broken ribs, and a broken arm,"
"I'll be fine, I know my body the best even if I go to the class, I'll recover enough by lunch to get healed and then I can sleep in here till afternoon to recover stamina,"
"But it will still hurt," she retaliated.
"it's fine I can handle a little pain,"
"It's 'not a little pain' and why do you even want to attend classes," perplexed she questioned.
Izuku's expression softened and he replied, "Well, I need to see my classmates,"
Recovery girl heard the reply and quieted for a moment, she sighed "well if you're worried about your classmates then I don't think you will be able to rest either," she said, "fine, but you need a cast and a shoulder sling till then, and you aren't going anywhere without them," she put her foot down on that.
Izuku smiled Kindly, "understood,"
Later in the 1-A classroom, the class had spent the morning before class talking about their experiences and all of them had learned about izuku's performance on the yacht from asui and mineta and were impressed by the story.
"MAN, so he's smart and strong that's so manly!"
"Did he really beat 23 villains without his quirk?"
"He knows martial arts, interesting,"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH HIM WHEN I AM BETTER!"
"no one's comparing dude, it's just that, he's the only one that soloed the villains,"
"And then he went to help Aizawa-sensei too,"
The chatter came to a close when the door opened and izuku walked in with his left arm in a cast and shoulder sling.
"Midoriya-san what happened to your arm!" Ida asked in concern for izuku's health alongside everyone else, no one had expected him to get hurt this bad since everyone else was fine.
"It's broken for now, but I'll be fine no need to worry," he made a mental note to not talk about any injuries they couldn't see.
Before anyone else could ask more questions or show worry bakugo came up to izuku and grabbed him by the collar.
"Bakugo-san what are you doing!?" Ida asked loudly.
Bakugo ignored him and yelled at izuku, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME!" bakugo yelled.
Izuku was confused, he let bakugo grab his collar because he didn't want a fight but the yell in his face was not appreciated by izuku's ears, he wanted to do something but sensed a presence now behind the door.
"Katsuki bakugo" Aizawa's calm yet chilling voice came from behind izuku, with the class door opened as everyone looked at their sensei except izuku who was still facing bakugo.
Aizawa continued, I don't know or care about which school you were in before but here at U.A. you treat your peers with respect now let go of midoriya this instance,"
Letting out a tsk bakugo let izuku go and turned to go back to his seat when.
"Where are going," aizawa called.
"Huu?" bakugo turned annoyed.
"Apologize to midoriya first,"
"What?" bakugo seemed shocked for some reason.
"Apologize to midoriya now," aizawa stared him down.
"Why should I?"
"Katsuki bakugo apologize to midoriya now or you are expelled," aizawa said shocking him further.
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife.
"Leave it aizawa-sensei," izuku said.
"Huu?" aizawa looked at him confused and so did bakugo and the others.
"Even if he apologizes now, it wouldn't be honest so it's worthless," izuku explained, after a few seconds.
"Fine, and what are you doing here," aizawa asked.
"I wanted to see how if you and my classmates were fine,"
The class felt grateful that he was worried about them and Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "And the hag let you?"
"Hag?" izuku questioned.
"I mean recovery girl,"
"Oh well I had to convince her but I worked it out," izuku answered not sure what to think about aizawa calling recovery girl a 'hag'.
"I see, well you can go to your seat," aizawa said and izuku complied.
Throughout the class izuku was asked some questions by his classmates, some addressing his wounds and showing concern, and some asking about his fights, izuku didn't say anything about the nomu but answered other questions truthfully.
Eventually, the lunch came before which aizawa gave the announcement about the U.A. sports festival and that they will have the next 2 weeks off to train and prepare.
When lunch started, he noticed a crowd in front of his class and went to the door to see katsuki taunting the crowd and walking off.
"Looks like they are checking out the competition, well we did survive a villain attack," he got to the front and saw a kid with purple hair who he recalled was Hitoshi Shinso a student in general studies, in fact, he knew the names, age, and classes as well as quirk names of everyone in sight since he had memorized their information from the deal, he made with nezu on the first day.
"Well like I was saying nothing but some arrogant brats thinking they're big stuff here and here I was expecting something good," shinso said.
Izuku blinked at him, "The fact that all the first-year classes are here proves that everyone sees us as the strongest, we never said anything to anyone,"
Shinso's eyes narrowed, "so you think you're too good for us to challenge?"
"Depends on how strong you are but I honestly don't see any competition for myself," izuku said flatly, he didn't seem arrogant or smug which made it even more infuriating, he honestly thought he was better which angered everyone in the crowd, well not everyone one.
"Wow, he's so cute,"
"They have a guy this handsome in their class,"
"Why are we stuck with all the ugly ones?"
"But he's injured, do you think the villains were like really dangerous?"
"They could be, I mean they were criminals after all,"
"Must have been scary for them,"
"His bruised face is so hot~"
"True~"
It seems that izuku's looks caused some female students to leave the animosity for him and to an extent his class for some reason, but now some boys had even more hate for izuku.
Shinso kept his cool, "Well remember the sports festival is a chance for someone to get entry into the hero course and for someone to lose their place in it, and judging by your injuries, if you couldn't even beat some low-level villains then you might be the first to lose,"
Shinso had no idea how strong the creature responsible for those injuries was.
"Yeah, you 1-A students think you are the best just because you all fought some thugs but you don't know how strong us 1-B students are," a blond person appeared, his name is Nitero Monoma from class 1-B.
Izuku looked at him, "how can I help you,"
Monoma chucked, "Look at you trying to play kind, but that act won't fool me,"
"I assure you I am not acting, I have no reason to deceive anyone here," izuku replied.
"Well, I came here to tell 1-A that 1-B will crush them in the sports festival," Monoma said smugly.
"Not just them," shinso intervened, "we all do, this is a declaration of war," he said on behalf of the crowd.
Before izuku could say anything, Kirishima showed up, "Look we don't want any trouble but we aren't scared of you guys either," he held a more determined expression, "so if you guys want a fight, we'll give you one," he punched his left palm.
He then looked at izuku, "right, mido-bro?" he asked expectingly.
"Mido-bro? Must be a nickname he came up with?" izuku thought and looked back to see most of his classmates all there. While they didn't say anything till Kirishima stepped in, he sensed them move behind him, visible from the doorframe, making sure the crowd knew that izuku was speaking on behalf of the entire class and was not alone.
Izuku saw his classmate's determined faces, and turned to face the crowd, "I don't like the idea of some sort of battle," he closed his eyes and sighed while also surprising Kirishima and the others, but before they asked anything he continued, "but, since you all are questioning our placing in the hero course I am left with no other option,"
Izuku looked at the crowd still with a calm yet determined expression, "I accept your declaration of war," he said and at that moment his gaze caused some people to lose their resolve and flinch or step back a little, but the likes of shinso and monoma didn't back off.
After a stare-down, the crowd eventually dispersed and izuku told his classmates that he had to see recovery girl for his treatment, they wished luck for his recovery and let him go.
…
On his way he was thinking, "I wanted to take care of the hero commission first but looks like I have to make my personal investigation on this nomu and League of Villains first," he sighed, "but before that, I have to get a source of income because the money and apartment from the government won't help me since my actions will be illegal and principal nezu is the in charge of monitoring my expensive from government money and that allowance won't get me much,"
"I better initial my school-related plan first," he thought and pulled out his phone went to the school website, and booked an appointment with nezu, "wow, I only got 15 minutes of his time and that's 2 weeks later a day before the sports festival," he thought and decided to organize his agenda.
"first plan, I have to get money to work for all my future plans, for which I have a few ideas that I can work on for the next two weeks," he paused and looked at his phone for a second, "second plan, at the end of two weeks I have to talk to principal nezu and make a deal," he sighed, "I hope it works since I gave up the class president position for it," he stopped walking, "and third plan, I will investigate this league of villains as soon as the sports festival ends," he looked out the window wall to his left.
His eyes softened slightly, and he looked a little drained, "These past few days have been quite eventful," he thought and remembered everything, the battle trial, the classes, the U.S.J., and the dream… or rather his past that appeared as a dream.
Izuku began to remember his past as his eyes narrowed darkly remembering the doctor's face.
Suddenly he inhaled sharply and looked forward.
"There is no point in remembering any of that, after all," he thought.
He moved forward to recovery girl's office remembering one more detail about the doctor and the people who raised him.
"All of them are already dead,"
A.N.: Hey i wanted to say that the combat was limited since the power difference between nomu and izuku is supposed to be huge and I tried to add as much as i could but for the fights up-comming the combat is going to be much better since the opponents are going to be around his level and he will also get stronger, also i will explain izuku's quirk in simple words as the story progresses.
i trying to improve my writing which i why the update was so late, but the next updates are going to be faster, please leave reviews i am open to suggetions and it also helps me stay motivated to read comments.
