TwinstarDragon:...First of all, wtf!? Second, no, Izuku is not related to Archer EMIYA in any form. Fate isn't part of this fic's universe.

SoggySoviet: Thanks!

Later

Dagobah Municipal Beach Park

"Midoriya!" Izuku yelps as Yagi lifts him while laughing happily. "You have done well! You blew my expectations out of the water!"

"T-thanks, that's nice from someone who ghosted me for a week." Izuku retorts as Toshinori's smile strains before it turns sheepish. "Jokes aside, why do you not reply to my texts, All Might?"

"Sorry, young Midoriya. I-it's been a while since I've done paperwork on my own, so it took me a very long time to do so. I was too busy to even able to do anything else." Yagi says sheepishly.

"The number one hero, defeated by a pile of paperwork." Izuku jokingly says as Yagi snorts.

"Blasphemy! I emerge victorious! If not, I won't even be here!" Yagi replies with a joke of his own before the duo starts laughing together.

"I'm truly glad you have the chance to be a normal kid," Yagi says as he ruffles his hair, getting Izuku's attention. "I know...you're not exactly a social person, and you get the chance to be like a normal kid, instead of focusing too much on training. I...had to admit I was concerned about you in that department and have truly no idea how to help."

"T-thanks for the concern, All Might," Izuku says with a shaky smile. "I-it wasn't easy...especially when most people prefer to avoid me...but I'm glad to found people I could call my friends."

"And I'm glad. Cherish your friends, young Midoriya." Yagi says as Izuku nods.

"Also, All Might, I realize you never told me your name until Recovery Girl told me herself..." Izuku says.

"I-I never did!? I thought I told you already but you keep calling me that out of respect!" Yagi says in shock.

"Nope, you never did, Yagi-sensei," Izuku says with a cheeky grin as Yagi slumps down.

"I'm truly sorry." Yagi groans as Izuku can't help but chuckle.

"Also, sensei. Recovery Girl gives me a contact for a person named Gran Torino-" Before Izuku finishes talking, Yagi spits out blood out of shock. "...I take it you know him?"

"I-Indeed...h-he was my f-former mentor..." Yagi says while his legs quiver a bit. "W-why did Recovery Girl give you his contact? You did perfectly with Ome For All!"

"W-well, it turns out that I discovered something that I didn't know well during the entrance exam..." Izuku trails off, trying to find a way to explain. "Back then, my entire vision suddenly shifts; I somehow see through every structure in the area like an x-ray vision, humans turn into a light figure with different colors, like an infrared but different, and it also... allows me to senses people's presence."

"...oh..." Yagi squeaks.

"...what do you mean, 'oh?'" Izuku can't help but voice out his disbelief.

"W-when Gran Torino t-t-trains me, he always somehow able to f-f-find me. And when I ask, he always tells me either of these three responses; 'I sense your idiotic presence from miles away!', 'your existence shines so bright that even blind fools could see you!', and 'I see through shit, dumbass!' At first, I thought it's his way of saying 'my stealth sucks'." Izuku can't help but sweatdrop at the cold harsh truth. "But, then you told me Recovery Girl gives you that contact number for Gran Torino because you somehow able to do those three, so...I just realize all his words were literal..."

'So, Gran Torino possibly knows Haki? Or something equivalent to it?' Izuku thought in dread.

'I still can't believe the possibility of a power other than a quirk. It's like something straight out of a shonen manga!' Yoichi points out before he pauses. '...forget I said anything.'

'Good.' Kudo deadpanned.

"A-anyways, I...would've introduced him as a teacher for you, but..." Yagi starts to shake violently, slapping his legs harshly. "I...am not cruel enough to let you go through such misery!!"

'...god, Sorahiko may have overdone it...' Nana mutters in pity, seeing her successor in such a state.

'...I'm going to regret this, am I?' Izuku sighs before looking at Yagi. "...sensei, c-could you introduce him to me?"

"...I beg your pardon?" Yagi whimpers, staring at Izuku in disbelief.

"I...am far from mastering One For All, and I...was hoping that your former sensei could've helped me," Izuku says while rubbing the back of his head.

"...I...I'll try to call for him..." Yagi breathes shakily before pulling out his phone and starts making a call. It takes a while before Yagi starts talking again. "H-hello, Torino-sensei?"

Izuku remains silent as Yagi's eyes twitch before pinching the bridge of his nose and letting out a sigh. He guessed that Torino might've pranked him with the senile old man act like the anime.

"Sensei...I have a successor..." Izuku feels the entire atmosphere drops a several degree Celsius after Yagi says that. Izuku, feeling for the worse, trusts his instinct and covers his ears.

"YOU COULDN'T START WITH THAT!?" Izuku winces as he sees blood comically spray out of Yagi's other ear and mouth; his head knocks away from the phone.

'I was pretty sure Yagi-sensei didn't turn on his speaker!' Izuku thinks in shock, wondering how an old man screams in such high volume. He then sees Yagi's arm go limp; his phone remains in his hand.

"...I'm truly doomed." Izuku pats his back out of pity and sympathy. Out of a sudden, Izuku hears a loud sonic boom and looks up to see a yellow blur flying up into the sky before it falls.

'...that can't be him, right?' Izuku is somewhat fearful of the possibility.

'...it's him.' Nana says in a dead tone.

'...press 'F' for paying respect to Eighth.' Banjo says.

'F.' Everyone, sans Nana, says in unison.

'...All Might, saya berharap kamu dapat menemukan kedamaian di akhirat. (All Might, I hope you'll find peace in afterlife).' Izuku says in a rare moment of using formality while using Indonesian.

"Toshi, you fool!" Izuku immediately runs away as the yellow blur crashes into Yagi, causing a massive shockwave. This causes Izuku to yelp in shock and jump away, covering his face to prevent sand from hitting his face.

"Aaahh! I'm sorry!"

"Sorry doesn't cut it! You ghosted me, for five fucking years and then drop a bombshell that you found a successor!!"

"I was busy!"

"Are you!? A simple message is enough!"

"I'm truly sorry!"

Izuku is unsure how to react to the scene in front of him; an old man (Gran Torino) smacking the living shit out of the Japan's Symbol of Peace. On one hand, he does expect Gran Torino not to show any mercy to his former student. On another hand, he can't help but slowly regret his choice to meet him. And then, to his horror, the old man diverted his attention to him.

"So, this is the brat? Your successor?" Gran Torino asks with a raised eyebrow.

"H-hello, my name is Izuku Midoriya; nice to meet you, sir!" Izuku says hastily before bowing at him. Gran Torino stares at him before looking at Yagi.

"Well, at least the kid has manners." Gran comments. "Wish he would not sound so wimpy." The insult feels like a wet towel slaps at his face harshly. Out of nowhere, Gran tries to kick Izuku, who out of instinct, activates One For All and blocks his kick. Izuku winces at the power behind the kick as Gran whistles.

"Kid's got instinct, good!" Izuku's eyes widen in shock as Gran disappears before he feels a pain in his gut, and he is sent flying from the ground. Izuku slams his feet into the ground to gain a bearing before he crosses his arm to block an incoming attack.

"Hah!" Gran grins widely before he suddenly disappears. Izuku frantically looks around before he sees a sign of yellow blur before it disappears and he receives a kick on his back, causing him to faceplant. Gran tries to land a kick, but Izuku immediately rolls away, making Gran raise his eyebrow.

"Ho..." A grin slowly creeps out of his lips as he notices Izuku's eyes glow red for a brief moment before they disappear. Gran decides to up his stakes before suddenly disappearing and creating afterimages. Izuku's eyes move at a rapid speed as his eyes glow red once more before he decides to kick one of them, which is revealed to be the real one. Gran easily jumps over his leg before delivering a jet-boosted kick right on his cheek, sending him tumbling to the ground.

"So, that dodge wasn't a fluke, eh?" Gran says with a grin as Yagi immediately rushes towards his successor. "I can't believe it, Toshi. You manage to strike a gold mine!"

"Umm...?" Yagi never feels so confused in his life.

"...right, I never told you about it," Gran says in a blank tone before clearing his throat. "Remember back then, when every time you try to hide, I manage to find you no matter what?"

"...how could I ever forget," Yagi mutters in dread as Izuku groans, holding his bruised cheek.

"Well, there are reasons why," Gran says with a grin. "It's called 'Ryou', a technique that utilizes the willpower of self to do feats that everyone believes only a quirked person is capable of doing. One of them is detecting the presence of living creatures."

'I knew it! It is Haki!!!' Izuku exclaims in his head before he slowly turns pale. 'Ah...tai...(Ah...shit...)."

'...press 'F' to pay respect for Midoriya.' Nana says in a blank tone.

'Okay, now that's just being petty, Nana-san!' Izuku exclaims.

"Does this 'Ryou' also make your kick painful to endure?" Yagi asks.

"My kick's always been painful! But, Ryou did help to ignore your bulky appearance!" Gran says with a savage grin, making both Izuku and Yagi shiver. "And to think this brat has the innate talent to learn it by sheer instinct. I hate to admit it, but you finally did something impressive!"

"...I don't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult..." Yagi mutters.

"Now, leave us, Toshi. The brat and I will have private lessons!" Gran says with a wild grin. "I never would've thought I'm ever going to be able to pass this down to another generation!"

'Wait, another generation? You mean, there's a possibility that a pro hero or two or even more knows Haki!?' Izuku wasn't able to think more about it as he desperately tried but failed to dodge an incoming boot painfully making contact with his face.

The next day

Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall

Tokyo, Japan

"Ummm..." Uraraka, Kirishima, Hagakure, and Koda blink as they look at Izuku approaching him, bruises visible on his cheeks as a band-aid plaster attaches to his nose.

"...bro, you're okay?" Kirishima asks in worry.

"I-I'm fine, j-just a bit harsh on my daily training." Izuku nervously replies.

"If you're sure..." Kirishima says hesitantly.

"A-anyways, how about we talk about something else?" Izuku suggests.

"Sure," Uraraka says before grabbing Izuku's shoulder, which looks somewhat silly due to the height difference. "Like, how did you get so fucking tall!?" This causes everyone to look at her in shock, not expecting her to curse.

"...her cursing aside, I am curious about it as well," Hagakure says.

"Growth spurts," Izuku replies casually, making everyone nods.

"Make sense." They all say in unison.

"Anyways, can we talk about how this hunk of a guy managed to get 1st place?" Hagakure exclaims as she waves her hand in exaggeration.

"Can we not?" Izuku begs.

"Why not? I mean, it's not easy to gain 1st place in the UA entrance exam when there are almost thousands of examinees participating in the exam!" Hagakure exclaims.

"Yeah, bro! That was amazing! You should be proud!" Kirishima exclaims in awe.

"Please, stop," Izuku replies as he covers his face, hiding the massive blush growing on his face.

"Awww, he's blushing." Hagakure teases.

"Hagakure, please stop." Uraraka says and based on Hagakure's pose, she's playfully sticking her tongue out to Uraraka. Koda, out of pity, pats Izuku's back.

"Thanks, Koda..." Izuku sighs. "Anyways, please let us discuss something else."

"Fine, fine," Hagakure says with a laugh. "Anyways, what are the chances of us being in the same class together?"

'At first, I was. But, I become unsure until you guys confirm it...' Izuku silently thinks.

"Well, isn't it great? I mean, we're now able to learn together as a hero!" Kirishima exclaims as Koda nods.

"Yeah, learning together with friends is always great!" Uraraka joins in, excitedly pumping her fist upward.

"Agree," Izuku says with a nod, smiling slightly.

"What do you think we'll learn in the U.A.?" Hagakure asks.

"I hope we can learn rescues! And to make it more excitable, Thirteen being our possible rescue teacher!" Ochako exclaims enthusiastically.

"Yeah! It's going to be very manly learning how to rescue a pro hero!" Kirishima says with the same amount of enthusiasm. Koda signs something and everyone immediately looks at Izuku.

"He says 'I would love to learn how to rescue as well.'" Izuku says as Koda nods with a smile.

"What about you, Izuku?" Uraraka asks.

"I hope we could learn some self-defense, especially one that can performed quirkless," Izuku says. "It'll help a lot if we're in a situation where our quirk is either useless or only makes the situation worse."

"That...would be a good lesson," Hagakure admits. "I mean, my quirk is only Invisibility, and I bet a lot of quirk could counter me. I would love how to defend myself."

As they continued to talk, Izuku slowly got himself distracted, pondering about the unknown names pop out of nowhere in the exam ranking. He can't help but wonder who exactly are they. He tries to think of the possible identity behind the owner of the name, but no matter what, he keeps drawing blank.

'I think instead of uselessly thinks about them, why don't you try to figure out on how to get more informations about them?' Kudo suggests.

'I would love to, but I have zero ideas of where to start! The past and future were flipped upside down to the point of beyond recognition, and as I learn more and more, it's getting even more unrecognisable!' Izuku can't help but be frustrated. 'God, I truly wish I was never reincarnated in such a problematic situation! Or maybe, I wish I never remember my past life!'

'Kid, I understand that you're frustrated.' Banjo says as Izuku silently scoffs.

'Understatement of a century,' Izuku retorts.

'But, is that truly what you want? A future that could get even worse than what you know?' Izuku grows silent as he hears Banjo. 'Look, with everything that happens, the future is slowly getting beyond recognition and I understand you want to not do anything about it, but will you risk the future? It might get worse.'

'...but, what should I do? I'm not a regressor who seems to have a lot of plans to prevent a bad future, or even an isekai'd otome gamer who knows every possible future.' Izuku rubs his head.

'Well, maybe start with getting more informations. I know you have taken a lot through websites, but maybe try to get more through some unconventional means?' Bruce suggests.

'...I'm no Batman, I have no clue how to do it...' Izuku sighs.

'We can help you with that.' Kudo offers. 'I'm specialized in intelligence gathering back when I was part of the resistance.'

'And I can teach you hacking.' Bruce suggests.

'...I ain't getting my sleep tonight.' Izuku concedes.

"Hey, Izuku." Izuku snaps out of his mental conversations before looking at everyone. "Is everything okay?"

"Y-yeah, just have something in my mind," Izuku says.

"You're sure?" Uraraka asks.

"Yeah..." Izuku says with a small smile, trying to reassure them, which fortunately works. Their hangout days continue. Hagakure immediately grabs Izuku's arm and pulls him towards a smoothie stand with everyone pushing him excitedly.

Then, they went to another arcade with Uraraka and Izuku playing the Dance-Dance Revolution with the duo sucking at the game and Hagakure recording it. It follows up with them all in karaoke as Koda shakily holds his microphone and everyone cheers for him.

They continue to hang out until sunset as they all sit down to watch the sunset at the restaurant located on the rooftop; all of them talk to each other and chuckle together. It was a fun day for everyone.

To be continued
