And here's part 2. And we come to the end of First Episode one Arc. Yes, that's what I call . But after this, we'll get into the meat and potatoes of season 1. But I'm not going to talk too much now.
My first language is not English. I don't own my hero academia or Hunter X Hunter
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH".
"Y-Y-You're deflating...!". I couldn't believe my eyes. All Might, The Number One Hero became so... Skinny. No! I refuse to believe it! Yes, he must be a fake. "Wait, up until now... Huh? Fake? A fake? You're so skinny!".
"Yes Yes! You must be a fake! You can't possibly be him! Don't you know that pretending to be the number one Hero is a crime!", shouted Yoarashi.
"I am All Might-". Was all the fake got out before blood came out of his mouth
"No way," Yoarashi and I yelled.
"You know how the guys at the pool are constantly flexing and posturing? It's like that", said the fake?
"No way..!", Yoarashi and I screamed. But a while after, we mumbled. "I-it can't be..."
"All Might is fearless… He saves everyone with a smile… He's the greatest…"
The fake sighed in a gloomy tone. "A fearless smile, huh?". Then he sat down and leaned against the fence on the roof." Now that you've seen me like this, young menn and girl, make sure you don't write about it online, even accidentally". After that, the fake lifted his shirt and showed…
I took a step back and I could feel the color running off my face as I saw the wound under his tar.
"It's an injury I got from an enemy's attack five years ago, half of my respiratory organs were destroyed, and I lost my whole stomach. I've become emaciated from repeated surgeries and the aftereffects. Right now, I can only work as a Hero for about three hours a day".
"That can't be...Five years ago..." Five years? I tried to remember who it was that he was fighting five years ago, but I could only come up with one. "Was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?".
"You're well-informed. But a punk like that couldn't defeat me. This fight was not made public to the world. I asked that it not be made public". All Might who had been looking away as he talked, now turned towards us. "I will save people with a smile! The Symbol of Peace cannot be daunted by evil. I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me".
Wow, he's... All Might is truly incredible.
"Pros are always risking their lives. I can not simply say, You can become a hero even without power".
Huh, what? Something hurts. Something in me broke. I've felt this feeling before, though. But. Why does it hurt so much. Why does it feel like it would have been better if I hadn't been born, or if I jump off the roof right now. Why does it hurt so much?
"I see...". I didn't know why I said that. I don't see what he's talking about. I've got fucking Nen! ... But he doesn't know it, no one knows. Why would they. I'm Deku.
"If you want to help others, then you could also become a police officer. They are often teased because they get villains delivered to their doorstep".
"It can't be true!".
I looked behind myself to see who said it and saw Yoarashi Inasa. He looked All Might right in the eyes and said "You always say that anybody can become a hero, so why do you say he can't become one! I just met Midoriya, no! Izuku-kun for barely an hour, but I can still see that he has a heart of a real hero!".
"Inasa," I whispered. The pain started to ease up a bit.
"Sorry young Inasa, but that's what I really think. Now before I go, why doesn't she look surprised at all by all of this," All Might asked as he pointed at Tomoe-chan.
All of us on the roof turned towards the hard-to-read Nen User. Her face or Aura showed no reaction to All Might question.
"What do you mean? I am shocked," she said in her normal toneless voice. I had a hard time seeing if she meant it or was being ironic.
"It's true All Might, she always looks like that," Inasa said before me and added his own comment.
"Yes, I have never seen her with another face.. except". Blood rushed up my face as I remembered all the times Tomoe's father said comments about us dating, and his future grandchildren... Mine and Tomoe's... Wah! Why am I thinking about this?!
Without me noticing, the pain in my chest eases a bit.
"Um, OK, I think I'll go now". Sad All Might and heads for the door, but before entering the stairwell, he said something. "It's not bad to dream, but you also have to consider what's realistic, young man". All Might walked through the door and closed the door behind him.
"Izuku-kun, are you ok," Inasa asked.
"Yes, I just woke up from this dream". I said, not sure where it comes from.
"What are you talking about Izuku-kun?":
"I don't know how I ever thought I could be a Hero, I'm just a useless Deku".
Eh, Kacchan was right. I should never have applied to U.A. Even if I have Nen, they probably won't give me a chance. I've just wasted everyone's time. I've wasted Tomoe's time.
"What does it matter? So your hero has said you can't achieve your dream, so what? You haven't given up yet, so why would you now?". It took me a second to understand who it was. But I realized it was Tomoe, but there was something in her voice. Emotions.
"Tomoe?" I said. Surprised at how she sounds so different.
"You should not care what others think, but what we think, your friends. Me and Inasa, not what All Might and Bakugo think".
Tomoe-chan!?" Was the only word that came out. Tears began to build up in my eyes.
"Wait! You know Bakugo? The one who attacked Tomoe-chan!?"
With that, I forgot my sorrow and turned to Inasa. "What?! Kacchan did what?" I turned to Tomoe for an answer. Worried about what could have happened to her. "Is it true!?".
Tomoe had gone from her normal cool self to more nervous yet her emotionless self. "Um, uh, you see". But before she said anything, there was an explosion some distance away. I found it easily familiar, but Kacchan would never make such a big explosion or he'd be in trouble.
"A Villain" I finally said. "
We must hurry," said Inasa. And with that we started moving in that direction.
The three of us ran towards the explosion, and when we arrived we saw that the shopping district of Tatooin was on fire. People had gathered around and watched. But I couldn't concentrate on it, because it was still this pain in my chest. Why is it still there? I'm not hurt. Will it ever go away? Why am I even here? We can't do anything here, I'm useless.
I was so caught up in my thoughts and memories of everyone who didn't believe in me that I didn't notice that I had stop.
"Why did you stop?"
I looked up and saw Tomoe. My closest friend. And I responded by saying my thoughts. "What does it matter, I know you believe in me, but. It doesn't matter if we're here, so..." Before I could say my thoughts, Tomoe interrupted me.
"Izuku, it doesn't matter what he thinks, he doesn't know that you've been training for the U.A. He doesn't know that you are a true hero at heart. You can be a Hero, a true hero, no matter what he thinks. So come on, let's watch The Pro Heroes defeat the Villain". With those words, she held out her hand and a little more of the pain disappeared.
I took her hand and she pulled me in with those watching. And that's when I realized it. I held her hand. Her very warm hand.
"Wait huh, why's that guy here?!", Inasa said. Who saw it before us because of its height.
Who?", I asked. But I got my answer when I saw the Villain from earlier. Kacchan was in its slimy body. Explosions were shipped the porch seconds in an attempt to get free with everything he has.
I don't get it. Did he get away from All Might?! Did he drop it? If he did… That's when I realized it. "... Then it's my fault..."
"Why aren't the heroes doing anything?"
"They can't. Apparently the villain caught a junior high schooler. It's been like that for a while."
Caught…? It's been like that for a while? How can he bear that suffocation? I thought I'd die after a few seconds. Wow.
"Anyway, wasn't that villain the one All Might was chasing earlier?"
"All Might? No way! He's here?"
"I think I saw him earlier."
"Seriously?!"
"Then what's All Might doing?!"
What he doing? Nothing, because his time ran out. Because of me. It's my falt…. He can't do anything! He can't catch that guy. All we can do is wait for a hero with a more suitable Quirk! Do your best! Kacchan I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Help will arrive soon... No, it may already be here.
I looked away from the Heros towards Inasa. I saw the same willingness to help that I have. I turned to Tomoe. She had been looking at me expectantly, as she was waiting for me to do something. I looked back to Inasa and together we looked towards Kacchan.
That's when we saw it. His eyes. A look practically begging to be saved from certain death, and before I knew it, I was running towards the Villain.
Play you say run
The Pro Heros shouted behind me, but we just kept running. I tried to come up with a plan to save Kacchan with my and Inasa's powers. Inasa? Why can't I feel someone's Aura next to me. I gave a quick glance back and saw Tomoe holding Inasa back.
What?! Why? Is it training again? But... No. I was able to dodge his attacks pretty well. She thinks I can do it myself. And if she believes in me, so do I. I will never give up on becoming a Hero. Ever!
In a moment of inspiration, I remembered how I was cut through my notebook with my pen as I covered it with Nen. I took off my backpack and soaked in as much of my Nen as I could before I threw it away. "Take dat!"
The Villain screamed in pain, my Nen infuse school stuff smash into his sludgy body. Kacchan's mouth was free and he coughed out what was in his mouth. I jumped on the Villain and tried to dig him out with my own hands.
"Why are you here?!"
"My legs moved on their own! I don't know why, but I think that's what I was supposed to do!". The sludge from the Villain's body began to cover Kacchan's mouth again, and I began to try to dig him out harder.
I think there were various reasons. But at that moment…
I started smiling in a poor attempt to imitate All Might. "You looked like you were asking for help…"
The Villain covered Kacchan almost completely now. I couldn't get good enough hold of him. It was also at this point that the Villain had decided to attack me with one of his tentacles. "don't get in my way!" Tentacles approached but before it hit me, something hit the wall. No, someone.
"I really am pathetic."
I looked up at All Might. His body twitched as he held up his arm to block the attack. It was so unbelievable that I could only get out his name.
"Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" He pulled his arm out of the sludge and grabbed Kacchan as blood poured out of his mouth. " Pros are always risking their lives!"
The Villain tried to attack back, but before he could, All Might delivered his attack.
"Detroit Smash!"
With one punch, he knocked away the Villain around Kacchan, while he was still in All Might grip. The wind pressure from the battle threatened to blow away those watching, but Mt Lady managed to protect them. The other Pro Heros held on to each other while the wind blew around.
When the wind had stopped, the sky began to darken and it began to rain. Unfortunately, I was unable to see that miracle due to the fact that the pressure of the attack had knocked me and Kacchan unconscious.
Strop the music
After this, the heroes collected the scattered sludge, and safely delivered it to the police. But, after I woke up...
"Jeez, there's a limit to how rash you can be!"
"There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger!"
I got majorly scolded by the heroes, but Kacchan was praised.
" That was amazing toughness! And that Quirk! Once you're a pro please come to my agency! You'll definitely be a excellent sidekick!"
I had started to walk home. I couldn't see or feel Tomoe's Aura. I could only wonder if I was doing something wrong. Shouldn't I have helped Kacchan? Inasa was picked up by his sister who saw him on television. And with the police acting like they knew him, and he drove away in a police car, I assumed she was part of it. In the thought they gave her a salute when she went past them.
The sun had begun to set. It was now very quiet due to the fact that I'm used to going home and talking to Tomoe, and the pain in my chest doesn't help. I was interrupted from my thoughts when I heard someone shouting my name.
"DEKU!".
Kacchan? I turned around and saw my first friend running towards me. He stopped a bit in front of me, breathing hard after running from the shopping district.
"I never asked you for help! And you didn't help me! Got it?! I was fine by myself. You're a Quirkless failure playing without a full deck! Don't think you can look down on me! Are you trying to make me own you?! Don't look down on me! Yoy damn nerd!", he said and turned and walked down the street.
Well, it looks like Kacchan is fine. And it's not just as Kacchan said. I will accomplished something if I try.
"I am here!"
"A-All Might?"
All Might had jumped out of the intersection in front of me. The muscle giant with an Aura as big as a truck somehow had sneak up to me.
"Why are you here? You were surrounded by reporters until just now…"
"Ha ha ha ha!. Getting away from them was a piece of cake. Why? Because I am All Might—". Was the only thing he had time to say before he spat out blood and deflated like a balloon. After a while for All Might to recover, he continued with what he was going to say.
Young man. I come with thanks, a correction, and a suggestion".
"Huh?".
"If you hadn't been there.. If you hadn't told me about your life… I would've turned into a guy in a bodysuit who was all talk. Thank you".
"That can't be… It was my fault in the first place. I got in the way of your work, and I said all those impertinent things even though I'm Quirkless…".
"That's right. It was because it was none other than the timid, Quirkless you at the scene that I was able to act. Top Heroes have stories about them from their school days. Most of their stories have one thing in common: Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think".
I tried to answer. But the pain stopped me. For some reason, I remembered my mother's words.
I'm sorry, Izuku! I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I almost couldn't stand up straight anymore, I felt so many emotions now. To get the one I looked up to for so long to say this... It's too much.
"That was true for you, too, wasn't it?"
"Yeah…". I finally got out.
That's not it, Mom. Back then, what I wanted you to say…I fall to my knees. Tears run from my eyes. The words I wanted to hear were...
All Might looked down at me. The sun was shining down behind him like the girl back then. "You can become a hero."
I almost cried it out but couldn't, it was too familiar. Like on the best day of my life, he said the same thing as her. He believes in me as her. There are now people who believe in me.
"You are worthy to inherit my power".
Huh? I'm what. What is he saying all of a sudden, I got the feeling when Tomoe told me about Nen. Wait... Don't tell me he's a Nen user too?! It will be so embarrassing if he tries to reveal it to me as a big secret and I already know.
"Inherit your power?", I asked, wondering if we were talking about the same thing.
Ha ha ha, what's with that face? It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this. Listen young man. You need to decide whether or not you will accept my power!" All Might said happily until the end as he started to spurt blood.
Wh-ehat is All Might saying...? Is it Nen? Or something else? Is there a mixture between Nen and Quirk? Wait! Can you even have a Quirk and Nen at the same time? Both me and Tomoe are Quirkless so I have no idea.
"I'm talking about my power, young man. Because the Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be a natural-born hero. But young man, I will tell you the truth. My Quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch."
"It was passed on to you..?".
"That's right. And next, it is your turn".
"W Wait! Wait a minute! It's true that your Quirk is something hotly debated as one of the world's greatest mysteries. So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online. But, well, I don't really understand. What you mean by inheriting or passing on a Quirk. I've never heard of anything like the mutter mutter mutter."
I began to mutter. I went through everything I could about Quirks and also Nen to understand. But before I could come up with a theory, All Might broke me out of my mumbling.
"Nonsense!", All Might yelled. " I may hide a lot of things, but I don't lie!, The power to transfer power… That is the Quirk I Inherited! I was Crowned with One For All!".
"One For All", I said. The name unfamiliar on my tongue.
"That's right." Said All Might serious. "One person cultivates the power and passes it on to another person, who also cultivates it and passes it on. It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart." His voice told it all if it was true, his aura moved what each other word. That made me ask an important question that I couldn't understand.
"Why are… Why are you giving me something so great?"
"I have been looking for a successor. And then, I thought it would be all right for you to inherit it. You are just a Quirkless Hero fanboy, but you were more heroic than anyone else back there!"
I was on the way to cry, but I couldn't. And above all, the pain in the chest is now unbearable. From the moment he told me about the power he would give to me, the pain has gotten worse. It... There's something wrong, I don't know what, but I can't stand this.
"Never mind! Well, it's up to you, though. What'll you do?"
What'll you do? What should I do? It—It doesn't feel easy to say yes. This is my dream. I've longed since I was little wanted to be like him. So, why is the idea of me becoming like him hurts so much?
You can become a hero even without power.
The memory of when we were on the roof flashes in my mind. When he said those words. It had been the best day of my life, but then I felt the worst pain I had ever felt. Not Kacchan's explosions. Not how my mother couldn't believe me. Not everyone looks when they hear that I'm Quirkless. Not even the one Villain, when he tried to kill me, I felt this much pain. So why does it hurt so much? Why can't I say yes?
No, I know you can be a hero.
The memory of Tomoe on that day we met came to me, and the pain lessened.
yes, I don't know why. But to become a Hero with what she teaches me... It doesn't feel so bad. She was the one who made my days a little brighter. She's never hurt me as he did. No one has hurt me as him did.
Thank you All Might, but I have to decline". I could see the shock on his face when I said no. And there was something saying no to him when he thought I was going to say yes that made me smile. But what let me know I was making the right choice was how the pain from earlier disappeared. My chest felt lighter than ever before now that the pain was gone. Until someone kicked me in the face to the ground.
I tried to understand what was happening. I looked up and saw that there was someone on me. But after a second, I realized who it was.
"You are the young lady from before! How much have you heard?" All Might asked worried.
It was Tomoe, her face was looking weird with emotion on it. It's something that I've never seen before today. And with how angry, sorrow, annoyed and disappointed she looks, I wish I had never seen it.
"Tomoe! Why-". Was the only word I could say before she interrupted me.
"Why didn't you take him up on his offer". Her words made me take a metaphorical step back.
"You can get your personal Hero, who you adore and want to be like, Quirk, why do you say no!?".
I've never seen her like this before. Is this really Tomoe?
"Tomoe-chan", I said. I hoped I could get her to stop and let me explain.
"You can get The number one Hero's Quirk, possibly the strongest Quirk in the entire world, how can you say no to that?," she asked. A question that probably everyone in the world would probably ask as well.
I couldn't get an answer out, until I felt something on my cheek. Tears, but... It's not mine. I watched in amazement as tears began to flow from her eyes. Something that surprised even her. In her moment of unbelief, I tried to explain my choice.
Tomoe, I, um, you see. It's because you believe in me, to be a hero". I got out stupidtly.
She didn't answer so I was continue to explain. "You believed in me, no one had before, not even my mother. You said the words I could only dream of and showed me how to get there. I want to... I don't know... It felt like I was going to abandon the trust you have given me". I tried to give in words the feelings that I had before, which I also don't fully understand.
I couldn't see if she understood what I was talking about. She now began to slowly go back to her normal self.
"Umm, should I go or?". All Might watched as Tomoe sat over me on the ground and cried over me.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you were here", She said and pulled me up off the ground while I tried to make sense of everything that has happened in the last minute.
"Oh my god, three kids have seen my true form, and two of them know about One For All. Wait! Is young Inasa here too". All Might asked worried and look around.
No, he went home earlier".
"Ah, so, you don't want to be my successor young man?".
"No". I said, shaking my head. "I want to succeed in getting into the U.A. with only what Tomoe teaches me".
"You know what a Herculean task it is without a Quirk, right?", said All Might, and asked Tomoe's training.
"Yes, but I believe Tomoe can train me so I can do it".
"Ok, tell me if you regret it, I appreciate your goal, but there's no shame in admitting you're too weak."
"There is only shame in staying weak," said Tomoe and interrupted All Might.
"Um, yes, that's true. If you need anything just say it, and don't say anything about One For All, ok".
"Yes All Might," Tomoe and I answered at the same time.
Oh, All Might, there is one thing you can help with". Said Tomoe suddenly.
"Well young lady, what is it". All Might looked at me surprised.
"Can you help Izuku gain some muscle, my training is not muscle building".
"Um, sure, but what kind of training do you think could get him into the U.A. that doesn't build muscle?"
"A Secret," she replied.
All Might looked at Tomoe strangely, and it got me nervous.
"Ok, meet me tomorrow at Dagoba Municipal Beach, when the sun rises for the training plan".
And with that, he walked away, and then we started walking too. But there was something I needed to ask.
"Hey Tomoe, why did you get so mad when I didn't accept All Might's Quirk?".
"Because it's a guarantee that you'll be an incredible Hero. Why didn't you accept?", she said, asking a question back.
"Oh, um y y you see… It hurt".
"Huh?".
"When he said that... that I couldn't...". The words stop my throat. It was hard to explain what I felt there on the roof except that it hurt.
"If you want to, you don't have to talk about it."
"Thanks," I said, wondering what the future would hold.
Dreams can become reality. By the way, I forgot to mention that this is the story of how I become the greatest Hero and Master Nen user.
And done. OK, now we come to the new stuff next chapter. It's been pretty close to the cannon, but there's still been a lot of new stuff, for Tomoe's frustration.
BTW, if you want to get a better idea of how Tomoe looks and behaves, I can recommend the anime. Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
The first thing I thought of when I saw the main character was. Wow, she's just the way I describe Tomoe. It's also a great anime, go and give it a watch.
Now that I've done as good a job as I can to describe what Izuku feels, I'm going to start working on the next chapter. And finally, we get more Tomoe POV. And soon we'll see her Hatsu. And Hatsu training for Deku.
But that's it for now. Please Follower, Favorite and Review
