AnimeFan13579:….okay, that's a lot, but you are right, most Nomu will be useless to a being that has control over death. And for High-End Nomu…you made me think about how it will act towards Izuku's Shadow Extraction and I had to say….it's quite an interesting topic to think about.
uchiha-rune: No need to apologize. Being late for reading fanfic isn't something you should apologize for.
Whitemare: Well, given that I plan to add characters from SL: A game, and I already confirm the existence of Thomas Andre, yeah I will. Also, no offense, but I don't agree with your idea for Querehsha. First, I don't watch Moana 2, so I don't have a full understanding of Matangi and how to interpret it to Querehsha's personality. Second, based on the short clip of her song, the personality doesn't fit Querehsha. Querehsha is what we call a femme fatale, and she's also a psychotic bitch who enjoys killing way too much, so Matangi's eccentric and slightly upbeat doesn't fit her at all.
Barbatus Lupus Rex: Finally, someone who spotted it!
The Next Day
Apartment Building
Musutafu, Japan
As Izuku walks out of his apartment, fully dressed in his uniform, he can't help but ponder about everything that has happened. So many thing happens in one day, the gate opens, Todoroki and Tokoyami recklessly walk into one, the Ice Elves and Lycanthropes, the incident involving Lizard's Tail haunts him back in a peculiar way, everyone finding out the truth, and Aoyama reveals to be a reluctant spy.
'And I thought the revelation about Gate.
"….I still can't believe Kugo-sensei bought the entire apartment for the Lycanthrope Tribe. All in one night." Izuku mutters in disbelief as he watches Andor playing with other Shadow Lycanthrope kids. Izuku can't help but feel sad witnessing the scene, realizing how bad the war caused by Sillad's kin had caused.
He still remembers how he asked Kugo regarding the accommodation for the Lycanthrope tribes, but all he got was 'Don't worry about it' from his boss. To his utter disbelief, Kugo managed to buy the entire building, ask Ochako's parents for renovation, and get the adults of the tribes to assist them. But, since it was very late, the tribe had to cramp in each room along with the shadows of their family/friends/partners.
Izuku had never felt so cursed having an enhanced sense.
"M-Midoriya-san…." Albus calls before he coughs, feeling strains in his throat. He and the rest of the Lycanthropes had practiced human language and it was a very good progress to Izuku's opinion. And it seems that they weren't exaggerating when the elder stated that they're very good at adapting. How they manage to learn human language so fast just to adapt, Izuku will never know.
Also, Izuku notices Albus and Lucinda wear the UA uniform. It was a surprise, but apparently, Albus and Lucinda were his age! It…was surprising for him and it made Izuku respect the young chief even more, given how it must've been difficult for Albus to lead at such a young age. Nedzu and Kugo suggest they be part of UA to blend in, some become security officers of UA and the teenagers are the students.
"How….you?" Albus speaks in broken Japanese. And it seems that they had still a long way to go, but they're in the right direction.
"Good, though I wish some of your tribes could settle down with their…. 'nightly activities'," Izuku says as some of the wolves stiffen up, blushes covering their faces. Izuku also notices some Shadow Wolves blush, much to his utter disbelief. Izuku didn't know how to react, because, in his mind, it was wrong on so many levels.
"A-apologies…" Albus mutters before pulling out a dictionary. "They….missed each other…..very much." Yeah, Izuku would rather not know about it. Not his business, anyway.
"…" Izuku didn't say another word and just left. Albus hastily puts away his book before joining, holding his bag clumsily while Lucinda follows them.
"I…this is….new for me…" Albus says. "I…never gone to school…."
"Well, it's…something." Izuku shrugs. "Some people see it as a prison due to being unable to handle the subjects they were taught by the teachers, others find it a great place to make friends, and there are special cases like for this school, they learn to be a hero."
"Hero…?" Albus mutters. "You can…learn how to…hero?" Albus asks in confusion.
"Heroes…..titles…" Lucinda mutters.
"This realm had…interesting view on heroism," Izuku mutters. "And some could make you angry."
"How?" Albus asks before coughing.
"….just see it for yourself."
Later
UA High
"THOSE ARE NOT HEROES!!! THEY ARE GLORY HOUNDS!!!! HOW COULD THEY SULLY THE TITLE OF HEROES BY ACTING LIKE AN ATTENTION WHORE AND CALL THEMSELVES A 'HERO'!!! THIS IS AN UTTER BLASPHEMY!!! THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!!!" Albus roars, baffled by the audacity of those humans.
"Albus, I understand your anger, but please calm down." Izuku sternly advised. "One thing that always comes to mind is to not let anger control you. You have your right to be angry but letting it loose like that will endanger others."
"A…apologies…" Albus mutters, lowering his head.
"This….the first time….see you angry," Lucinda says.
"They….ruined what….heroes mean," Albus says in anger.
"Indeed, it was sad how society ruined what heroes truly mean," Izuku says while shaking his head.
"Unbelievable…" Albus mutters. As they walk, they notice Ochako and Eijirou waving at him before Izuku waves back. They immediately approach Izuku and the wolves.
"Hey, Izu," Ochako says before they both peck on each other's lips before Ochako looks at Albus and Lucinda. "Albus, Lucinda, I hope you two find your new accommodation comfortable."
"W-we do….thank…Monarch's Mistress…." Albus stutters as Ochako blushes slightly while Izuku lets out a groan.
"Great, now even you guys," Izuku mutters before looking at Ochako. "Sorry, Ocha."
"It's nothing to worry about, dear." Ochako waves it off. Izuku merely nods before looking at Eijirou, who seems slightly tired.
"Hey, Ei. You okay, bro?" Izuku asks as Eijirou shakes his head.
"My nightmare has gotten worse over time…" Eijirou mutters.
"Oh…did…anything happen in the dream?" Izuku asks in concern.
"It's….hazy. But, I remember….a primal roar that sent chills down my spine, the overflowing bloodlust the creature emitted that froze my entire nerves…..the darkness that blinded me…." Eijirou mutters, holding his arms in fear. "It….it feels so real, Izu-bro…"
"…" Izuku is unsure how to react as he has no idea how to deal with this. The only thing he could do was to wrap him in a hug. Eijirou pauses before he becomes relaxed. "Sorry, I….had no idea how to help…all these powers I got, none of them capable of assisting you…"
"You're being here is enough for me," Eijirou says before Izuku lets go.
"You're good to go for today's plan? If not, you can rest." Izuku says.
"No, no. I can do it." Eijirou says, reassuring Izuku.
"Okay…but please tell me if you don't feel so good, okay?" Izuku says in a worried tone, which earns a nod from Eijirou. Then, Tokoyami arrives and perks up when he sees Lucinda.
"Greetings, Shadow Monarch and everyone." Izuku let out a groan while Ochako and Eijirou chuckled. "And greetings, Lucinda."
"G-greetings…" Lucinda says with a smile, surprising Tokoyami a bit as he wasn't expecting them to learn Japanese so fast. It still had slight mistakes in the pronunciation, but it is Japanese nonetheless.
"Oooh! Lucinda, I wasn't expecting you to learn Japanese." Dark Shadow pops out with a teasing grin. "Try to impress your man?"
"D-Dark Shadow!!!" Tokoyami exclaims with a heavy blush while Lucinda blushes in embarrassment but says nothing.
"What? I was just asking. Besides, she's not denying it." Dark Shadow calls her out, making her face even redder. Albus tries and fails to hold his snort, which doesn't go unheard by Lucinda as she slaps his back in embarrassment.
"W-what!? I'm not the one who teases you!" Albus guffawed as Lucinda pouted.
"All right, enough." Izuku calms both of them down. "Come on, let us go to class."
"I'm….still learning how…" Albus paused before pulling out a dictionary and reading through it, muttering something under his breath. "How…this school works…"
"Same…" Lucinda mutters.
"I can show you around if you want?" Tokoyami asks as Lucinda smiles and nods. Tokoyami did everything to not look at Dark Shadow's teasing grin. "Cease this, Karasu."
"Nope! I-! Wait, Karasu?" Dark Shadow, named Karasu by Tokoyami, looks at him in confusion.
"You need a name, and I can't keep calling you Dark Shadow. It's the name for my quirk, but you are more than that." Tokoyami says as Dark Shadow feels touched by Tokoyami's word, but he masks it with a teasing grin.
"Well, perhaps you should think through before giving one. You still had a terrible naming sense, like the replica sword you dubbed 'The Slayer of Light and Bringer of Darkness'." Tokoyami looks flustered while everyone holds their laughter. "…but, I think I'll keep Karasu. Thanks."
"I now reconsider calling you 'Wings of Dawn and Twilight'," Tokoyami says with gritted teeth.
"No! Please, Karasu is good enough!" They all burst into laughter.
"Anyways, before we go to our class, let's visit the Support Department first," Izuku says as Ochako perks up.
"Oh, right! Merissa!" Ochako exclaims.
"It's Melissa, Ocha," Izuku says with a sweatdrop but once again, Ochako doesn't seem to care. The 6 of them walk to the Third Year Support Lab and as they reach the door, it is opened by Melissa. The Trinity can't help but wince at the sight in front of them. Melissa's hair is a complete mess, her eyes are bloodshot, and huge bags under her eyes, her uniform looks messy, and she even puts her glasses upside down.
"Oh, hey guys," Melissa says with a tired smile before she lets out a loud yawn. "Sorry, I hadn't got a proper sleep. I'm still getting used to Japan's day and night cycle. And not to mention the project you guys requested."
"Melissa, your health is always been the main priority," Izuku says with concern.
"Bah, no need to worry about it," Melissa says as her eyelids feel heavy to her. "A-anyway, it is done."
"You did?" Ochako exclaims in disbelief.
"Of course. It takes quite a lot of trial and error, but I did it." Melissa exclaims. "It's a completely new field for me, combining magic with technology. But, the UEIS's technology and engineering team provide a lot, so it's less time-consuming!"
"…okay, that's one hell of a flex," Eijirou admits in awe.
"Also…" Melissa seems to almost lose her footing before regaining it by leaning on the door. "Who's the idea of naming the organization, anyways? It's much worse than Dad's early name draft, and it says something since Dad's choice of name is very bad and that is merely an understatement."
"….Don't ask." The Trinity says in a deadpan manner.
"…okay, then. Why don't you three come in and take a look!" Melissa exclaims before slamming the sliding door violently, creating a dent in the door. "….oops. I suppose I need to control my strength. Hehe…"
"Is this woman secretly a Valkyrie?" Albus whispers at Izuku fearfully.
"No, she's a mechanic," Izuku explains.
"...you humans are scary…" Lucinda admits.
"….damn." Tokoyami could only nod at Karasu's words as they all walked in. The lab is a complete mess. Each step they took creates a sound of clanging metals, the place fills with traces of smoke, burnt floors, empty fire extinguishers, and so much more. Izuku winces before using [Dominator's Touch] to sweep the entire mess away and create a path for everyone.
"Oh, that's handy," Melissa admits as Izuku merely nods. As they reach Melissa's worktable, everyone's eyes widen in awe. In front of them is a hi-tech drone imbued with mana stones and dungeon materials. They may seem normal, but the magic users' sense detects the flow of raw and pure mana in that machine.
"I…never seen…..something like this…" Albus mutters in awe.
"Hehe…" Melissa says with a smirk.
"Remind me, what is the use for this drone again?" Fumikage asks.
"Ah, it's for today's special class," Izuku says with a smirk.
"Special class?" Tokoyami asks in confusion.
"You just have to wait and see," Eijirou says while patting his shoulder.
"Well, since we requested this a bit late, I guess one drone is good enough," Ochako mutters.
"Who says I only made one?" Melissa asks with a grin.
"….what?" They all say in unison.
Later
Class 1-A
"…can we all agree that what we saw earlier is insane?" Izuku asks as they all nod.
"We underestimate the Shield's tech prowess…" Eijirou mutters in disbelief.
"I don't understand any of it but I can feel it was amazing…" Albus mutters.
"Agree..." Lucinda nodded in agreement. As they enter, Izuku and everyone can feel how tense the classroom is. Suddenly, Iida and Momo approach them, piquing their interest.
"Can I help you?" Izuku asks.
"….I would like to apologize for how we react," Iida says as they blink. "I….was in complete denial….you see, my brother had warned me regarding this. I….reacted immaturely, so you can say….I was running away from reality."
"…" Izuku didn't say a word, letting him finish.
"B-but, that doesn't excuse us for questioning you for what you did. And….I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but….I'm sorry." Iida mutters.
"I…would like to apologize as well." Momo bows. "You…can say I am naïve. I'm sorry that I….ever doubted you. You….are not a bad person, as you clearly show by how you are more about Kirishima's condition. And…I doubt Gang Orca will accept you if you truly murder them because you can. You can say….I am an idiot for not seeing the obvious and doubting you."
"….The two of you didn't need to apologize." Izuku says as both blinks. "It's…not something worth apologizing for. I understand how you guys feel hesitant towards me."
"But-!" Both were cut off by Izuku raising his hand.
"I think you two chose to apologize without needing to speak volumes," Izuku says with a smile. "So….friends?"
"Yes!" The two of them exclaim happily. Ochako and Eijirou can't help but smile at the scene, glad that Izuku didn't lose his friends. Sure, they were here, but Izuku needs more friends after everything he went through. Also, it's glad that they're remain friends because they don't want to know what Ochako and Eijirou willing to do for Izuku.
"All right, get back to your seat students." Everyone stiffens before Izuku and his group walk away from the door. The person who enters is none other than Thirteen herself, much to everyone's surprise. Well, everyone but Ochako who squeals in excitement.
"Hello, students. I'm Anan Kurose, but you all know me as the Space Hero: Thirteen, and from today, I shall be your homeroom teacher till Nedzu finally finds a new homeroom teacher." Thirteen introduced herself. "For today, we're having a special class for everyone. At first, we had a plan for Rescue Exercise, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we….had to change the class yesterday."
"Um, sensei?" Tsuyu raises her hand, a hint of wary on her face when she looks at the Trinity, specifically Izuku. "I was wondering, why is the class missing some students? We all know what happened to Bakugou, but what about Todoroki, Aoyama, and…Mineta?"
"Todoroki is in suspension for breaking the conduct of safety." Thirteen explained. "Aoyama had….family problems, and as for Mineta, he is still recovering. He isn't in critical condition in the first place, but his….condition is a unique case."
"….may I ask what happened?" Momo asks curiously.
"….it's best if you all do not know about it." Thirteen says nervously, making the students look at Izuku in questioning.
"….. as Thirteen sensei said, it's best if you guys don't know about it," Izuku says ominously, making everyone shiver in fear.
In Infirmary
"This defines all science!!!" Recovery Girl exclaims in disbelief as she observed Mineta, who somehow got both of his hands shoved into his ass, without causing any internal bleeding, muscle tear, or even a broken bone. His hand stretches like a cartoon.
"H-help…" Mineta comically moans in pain, unable to move.
Back with everyone
"Anyways…." Thirteen says. "Also, you might notice that we got two new students for our classes. Everyone, say hello to Albus and Lucinda of the Lycanthropes. May I have both of you here to introduce yourself to the entire class?"
Both Lycanthrope nods before walking forward and facing everyone. Everyone remembers Albus from yesterday during Izuku's question session and Lucinda, who managed to get everyone's attention by hanging out with Tokoyami, the residence loner.
"G-Greetings….I'm Albus, the…" Albus grabs his dictionary and takes a peek. "…the chief of the Lycanthrope Tribe…..pleasure to meet you all."
"Hello, I'm Lucinda…." Lucinda says, coughing a bit. "A pleasure to meet…you all."
"The Lycanthrope tribe had been practicing how to communicate with humans better, so please excuse their mistakes." Thirteen says.
"All that from learning for less than a day?" Momo mutters in disbelief.
"All right everyone," Thirteen begins before pulling out a remote and pressing a button, showing a shelf full of suitcases. "Suit up everyone, because, for this class, we're going on a field trip."
In an instant, everyone cheers before grabbing their suitcases and rushing off to the changing room. As the Trinity walks out, they are greeted by Gang Orca and All Might standing next to the door, along with the Big Three.
"Are you ready, kids?" Gang Orca asks as the Trinity nods in unison.
"Ooh, we're going to see them in action!" Nejire exclaims excitedly. "Now, we can see what made Mirio praise them so much!"
"I wanna go home," Tamaki mutters.
"Guys, I get you're excited. But, we must focus on the current situation." Mirio stated, slightly serious. "We're expecting a group of villains ambushing us, and judging from how they forced our kouhai to spy on his classmates, they won't be holding back."
"We are thankful that the UEIS manages to get his parents to safety. We will strike them when they least expected it and make sure they won't escape." All Might let out a growl. "They mess with my students, they mess with all of us."
"Indeed." Gang Orca nods. "Then, let us move." With that, they all walk as Izuku pulls out his clothes before using the System's Equip function to change clothes. Ochako merely flicks her finger before her clothes materialize on her body.
"… Okay, now you two did it just to brag." Eijirou deadpanned before he ran off to the changing room. Everyone let out a small chuckle before Izuku looked at All Might.
"All Might, how are you feeling?" Izuku asks.
"Like every time I said, young Midoriya. I am perfectly fine." All Might reassures Izuku. "Ever since your girlfriend healed me, my body no longer has any sign of injuries besides the scars."
"Just making sure," Izuku says. "We never know what could happen if unawakened humans were blasted by beams of concentrated healing magic."
"Understandable. And speaking of unawakened." All Might flex his fingers before a gust of wind flows around his hand. "It seems that the blast had granted me magic as well."
"….fuck, I had created a monster," Ochako mutters, making the adults startled by her cursing, except for Mirio who let out a laugh.
Later
USJ
In a wide field, a purple fog appears at the center before it slowly expands to create a huge gaping hole. From the hole, a man with pale blue hair covered in a detached hand walks out before being followed up by a giant hulking creature with purple skin, a bird beak, an exposed brain, and scars all over their body. Then one by one, people start to walk out of the hole.
"…what?" The blue-haired man mutters in disbelief as he sees Izuku sitting on the floor, holding a greatsword in one hand and another hand used to lean his head. From his expression, he seems to be bored, as if he is waiting for something or someone.
"Oh, you guys are finally here," Izuku says before stifling a yawn. "Man, you guys sure take your time. But, then again, attempting to advertise yourself as a master of blowjobs needs preparation, especially the gear and your mental strength."
"Who are you?" The man says raspily, a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Not giving my name yet, still thinking of a perfect name to call myself," Izuku says before he slowly gets up and kicks his sword, then he places it on his shoulder gently. "Anyways, you guys are quite arrogant, huh? Attempting to make a debut to the world, and your first target had to be All Might. I admit, that takes a lot of guts, but at the same time, it's dumb. I mean, the sheer arrogance and pride it requires you to think you could take down the Number One hero, it's baffling."
"Heh, you should know kid, All Might's getting weaker." One of the villains cockily stated. "He's getting old, his time is running out. And it will be the perfect time to kill-!" He was cut off when Izuku let out a snort before chuckling. "What's so funny, kid!?"
"First of all, who's the idiot who says that All Might's getting weaker?" Izuku says, making the villains look at him. "Sure, he gets old, but you should see him during the class, he still casually creates tornados with nothing but a punch."
"Heh, what a farce." The blue-haired boy scoffed. "Can't believe you were bold enough to lie."
"Also, you must've been dumb as brick," Another villain stated. "What do you think you're doing, standing here and facing us alone? Do you think you got a chance? You must have a death wish."
"Death, huh?" Izuku muses with an eerie smile. "Sounds like you have taken a lot of life. I wonder, how much innocent bloods were on your hand…" Izuku swings his sword to create a line on the ground.
"Right….let's get this over with, shall we?" Izuku says before looking at the group of villains.
"What are you even doing, kid?" One of the villains questioned.
"Just making a line. Any of you attempt to pass through this line shall be knocked down." Izuku exclaims as the villains look at each other before bursting out in laughter. One of the villains, which is a woman with snakes as her hair approaches Izuku.
"Come on, kid. Stop playing around and-!" The woman immediately launches her snakes towards Izuku. But in the blink of an eye, all of the snakes were mutilated and she was knocked back by a flying rock, breaking her nose and knocking her out. Everyone stared in shock at Izuku, who didn't seem to move at all.
"Let me reiterate for you folks. Cross the lines and you shall be knocked out." Izuku declares as everyone looks at the boy in shock. "Oh, also, got a news for you all. Your friends that were spread around this building are now fucked."
Flood Zone, USJ
A group of villains can be seen swimming through the huge body of water and emerge to the surface before they are face-to-face with Ochako sitting at the edge of the boat as Aquarius, Virgo, Taurus, and Leo float beside her, smiling sweetly as she holds her staff emitting cold mist.
Ruin Zone, USJ
A group of villains looks in fear as Eijirou in his therianthrope form walks out of hiding, looking at the villains as a growl escapes his mouth. He places his claws on one of the rubble and approaches them as the claws cut the rubble like a hot knife through butter, despite showing the lack of force applied to the claw.
Mountain Zone, USJ
"Apologies, folks." Mirio begins as he stretches his gloves as a golden light emits from his hands. "Unfortunately, none of you were going to escape this place."
The light immediately turns into a glowing staff as Mirio places it on the ground, looking at the group of villains with a grin.
"Now, I suggest you all surrender, or this will hurt."
Conflagration Zone, USJ
Tamaki can be seen looking at a group of grinning and eager villains nervously, adjusting his hood to hide his face.
"I regret coming here with Mirio," Tamaki mutters.
Landslide Zone, USJ
"…." Gang Orca adjusts his tie as he looks at a group of villains eagerly approaching Gang Orca. He can sense some of the villains remain hidden, but he chooses to focus on the problem in front of him. Letting out a sigh, he cracks his knuckles.
"Let's just get this over with," Gang Orca declares as his eyes glow gold
Downpour Zone, USJ
"Aww man, what do they mean I need to practice in a downpour zone," Nejire exclaims with a pout. "I can't believe they convinced me to do it. This must be a prank for what I did last winter."
Nejire floats on the air as she looks at a group of villains looking at her lustfully. Narrowing her eyes, she tied her hair up before summoning a pair of energy orbs on her hand.
"Good, I need some stress reliever."
Outside
"Remind me why are we here again?" Kaminari asks as he and the rest of the class sit in the bus with a huge TV Screen hanging on the bus' ceiling displaying every location where Izuku and his friends are.
"For this class, you all shall witness a live raid performed by heroes." Thirteen stated. "Given the UEIS had a fair share of experience in raiding, they were requested to demonstrate how they do it."
"But, don't you think it's a bad idea to split them up like that? And the odds weren't in their favor." Ojiro points out.
"True, but you'll see what makes them different." Thirteen explains. "Besides, this isn't a normal raid performed by heroes."
"….oh, dear. They treat this as a raid in dungeon." Momo mutters in wide eyes, making everyone look at her in disbelief.
"Yup, more specifically Dungeon Break." Thirteen days before looking through the book given to her. "There will be times where a dungeon is failed to conquer and it leads to the monsters inside attempt to invade our world. The awakened were sent to take down the monsters and reduce casualties."
"That doesn't explain the number of heroes." Tsuyu points out.
"Some awakeners could grow so strong that it usually only require one of them to take care of dungeon break." Thirteen explains.
"How….powerful they actually are?" Iida asks.
"Well, we're about to find out…"
Back with Izuku
"… You know." The blue-haired man mutters as his eyes widen in shock after hearing his words. He starts to scratch his neck violently as he lets out a heavy breath, and his body starts to shake violently. "You knew….you knew our raid…"
"Bingo," Izuku says with a smirk, making the villains widen in eyes in shock.
"How…how, how, how, how!??!" The man scratches more violently before looking at Izuku with a burning hatred.
"Master Shigaraki, calm down." A voice can be heard as the void shrinks down to reveal a human with purple fog as a body and glowing yellow eyes.
"How!?!? HOW DO YOU KNOW!!?!?" The man, Shigaraki, roars in anger. "TELL ME!!"
"Go Fuck yourself, brat," Izuku says as he grins widely while flipping the man off, his emerald eyes glow and an emerald aura slowly appears around his body.
"Nomu!" Shigaraki roars. "Kill!"
[To be continued]
