Saturday Morning

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce myself to anyone reading my story. First of all my name, I'm Vergil Redgrave, born on the first of July in 2134, I'm almost eighteen years old, I like listening to music and training and I'm in the world of My Hero Academia.

Now you may be wondering how I know I'm in the world of My Hero Academia or even what My Hero Academia is. Well, the thing is that I've actually been reborn after a street lamp feel onto my head due to being hit by a car and killed me in the process and, let me tell you, actually witnessing your own birth is kind of traumatizing, it's no wonder babies cry when they're born, anybody would do so after experiencing that, you can't see anything apart from a small light of fake hope while constantly getting squeezed all over your body and you can barely breath. That alone may not be that bad but if you add the fact that for nine months you've been in complete luxury just sleeping all day and always being in a state of constant warmth, the quick change kinds of shocks you into a panic.

I was lucky that my parents didn't have too much fun while I was still in my mother's womb, at least not after I kicked my father's dick from inside the womb- sorry dad, not sorry- otherwise that may have traumatized lil' ol' me even more.

Anyway getting back on topic, I've been reborn as Vergil Redgrave, son of Eleanor and George Redgrave, two 26 years old at the time of my birth from the United Kingdom that moved to Japan around 2 years before my birth due to the company my father worked at at the time, and let me tell you, I don't only share the name with the famous character from the Devil May Cry series, I'm pretty sure I am him, except maybe for the looks since I look a lot like a fusion between Dante e Vergil and I know they're identical twins but somehow their fusion looks different from both.

'How are you so sure of this?' You may ask? Well, first of all when I was younger I looked exactly how a young Vergil/Dante would look like meaning I was cute as hell, which I still am if you ask the splendid woman that is my mother, unfortunately that also means that my cheeks got pinched by a lot of aunties and grandmas almost everyday, but what really seals the deal of me being the actual Vergil is that l received Yamato, Beowulf and Mirage Edge when I was eight as birthday gifts, from whom? I don't know. Speaking of, I actually had to get a minor quirk license to be allowed to carry Yamato, Beowulf and, if I choose to 'summon' it, Mirage Edge.

Another question you might have is how can an eight years old possibly use three adult sized weapons and why did nobody take them away from me since they're lethal weapons even if they didn't have their abilities? Luckily for me whatever ROB sent me here made it so that my parents and anyone else thought the three deadly weapons were just my quirk manifesting late, even though I am pretty sure I am actually quirkless, moreover my three weapons came in at an 8-years-old size and have been slowly growing with me and, now that I've finished growing and am standing at a respectable 196cm or about 21.33 freedom hamburgers stacked on top of each other for you Americans, have now reached the same size they had in the game.

The only thing I have that differs from the original, apart from my looks, is that my right arm is actually a Devil Bringer, my forearm is mainly blue with some small parts being black while my hand is completely black with sharp nails that look like extremely sharp claws which are also completely black, throughout my forearm there are various blue veins that glow in a weak light. This Devil Bringer awakened the first time I touched Yamato and it hurt like a bitch and, needless to say, my parents immediately brought me to a hospital with my mother fussing over me the entire time.

As soon as we got back home from the hospital, which only happened after almost an entire day of countless tests performed by various doctors to first understand what exactly happened to me and then categorize as best as possible my quirk, I started experimenting with my demonic energy that I discovered I had during the tests performed at the hospital. Needless to say that as soon my mother found me concentrating on manipulating demonic energy, which has been registered as just 'Energy Manipulation',she squealed at seeing, and I quote: "The cutest scrunched up face ever."

Speaking of my parents, my mother, surprise surprise, looks exactly like Eva from Devil May Cry, this means that even through now she's in her mid forties she still looks extremely beautiful and hot, my father's words, not mine, something that caused a couple of would be rapists to loose their heads over her and, spoiler alert, they didn't lose their heads just figuratively speaking. Let's just say that Yamato's ability to open portals is really useful to dispose of 'garbage'. Getting back on the topic about my mother, her quirk lets her manifest a clock with any time zone's time that she previously chose.

My father George, surprisingly, doesn't look like Sparda but just like your typical English gentleman but with white hair. His quirk lets him perfectly sharpen any pencil in a five meters radius. Luckily for me no one's going to question how I got my quirk based on my parent's, just like nobody questioned how a certain green coloured cinnamon roll got what could be described as a strength enhancing quirk when their parents had a telekinetic attraction and fire breathing quirk. Both my parents now work in a little book store owned by them, dad used to work in a company as an IT guy and mom used to be a stay at home mom but this changed some years ago when they decided to open their own book store since I was old enough to take care of myself after school and it was a dream of theirs to open a book store.

Getting back on the demon energy thing, neat thing you can do pretty easily with it is create music, which leads me to think that the characters in DMC actually made their background music by themselves and yes, I tried making just sound waves to potentially use them as attacks but for whatever reason that's much harder than making music.

First thing I did as soon as my next birthday came was ask my parents to let me record a song in a recording studio which they were happy to let me do since I used to go around the house playing music created with demon energy so they knew it was good. That's how, at the tender age of 9, I published an album containing all the battle themes from the Devil May Cry series, which actually netted my parents bank account a nice amount. Moreover, I didn't stop there as in the following years I sometimes published some singles and albums, all from artists from my previous life that didn't exist here for whatever reason.

Now to answer your question on how I know that I'm actually in the My Hero Academia world and not just some random world with superpowers, that's actually easy since first of all All Might's actually real and I even saw him a couple of times. Second, the slime villain accident in which a certain explosion maniac and number one hero were involved actually just happened and is being reported on the TV, which means that Izuku should soon be offered One for All by its eighth holder, that is if my presence didn't change too much stuff and this isn't an AU, apart from the fact that hero schools actually start as colleges here instead of being high schools, which I think actually makes much more sense, I mean what normal 15 years old has the maturity to really see and understand what being a hero means? And while that my also be true for 18 years old at least one is a little more mature at this age.

Thankfully, with Yamato's power, I can easily know if Izuku actually got the offer by simply opening a small portal in the sky around the accident and looking around until I find the broccoli haired boy talking with the number one hero in his Small Might form.

Since I can't really open a portal out in the open due to that being a quirk-restriction law violation and at the moment I'm taking a stroll around Tokyo, which you might have guessed isn't exactly a private spot where nobody would see me break the law, I head into a nearby alley and, just as I'm about to unsheathe Yamato and slash open a portal, I hear a small pained moan coming from a dumpster to my right.

Usually I would just ignore this and head into a different alley, after all even within this society of heroes homelessness is unfortunately still a thing, but for some reason my gut's telling me not to ignore the barely audible sound, which is saying something since my hearing is much stronger than a normal human's. My curiosity gets the better of me and I end up opening the dumpster's lid while fully expecting to find nothing but trash.

Unlike what I expected inside the dumpster there actually is a person and not just any random person but one of this world's future main antagonists, Himiko Toga.

And… there goes my plan to spy on the ninth inheritor but I suppose I can just look at Takoba beach one of this mornings to know if Izuku got the offer, hoping that All Might still makes Izuku train there by cleaning the beach. I… didn't expect this but this situation can actually turn out in my favour, I mean, by helping her now I could avoid Himiko going down the path of villainy and save various people's life by simply helping one. The only problem with that is how to actually help her, from how thin she is she's been malnourished for some time plus there's various bruises on what little of her skin is actually visible right now while her school girl uniform is extremely tattered with her being barely covered by a dirty old rag and, as if that wasn't enough, it looks like she's suffering from suppressing her quirk and that it could actually be too late to do anything already.

This is another difference from the original My Hero Academia, or at least I think it is, as apparently here if you repress your quirk, or more specifically the instincts that could be caused by the quirk, it could cause you some pretty bad side effects, similar to how in the Harry Potter world if you consciously attempt to repress your own magic, or are forced to do so, the repressed magic can transform into an Obscurus and eventually even cause your death along with other 'fun' stuff.

Oh well, let's get to work trying to save a, hopefully, still innocent girl. First things first, waving my hand I will my demonic energy to clean her up, a hot shower would be better since that can actually help relax the muscles but I can't really do that out here in this random Tokyo alley. Now that Himiko's clean I pick her up, while she doesn't even try to fight back just like an animal too wounded to even defend itself, which is a really bad sign, and gently hold her against my shoulder with my human hand so I can use my Devil Bringer arm to swing Yamato and slash open a portal leading home.

Luckily my parents aren't home yet so I don't have to explain to them why I brought home a girl that's practically knocking on death's door. Anyway as soon as the portal connecting the random Tokyo alley and my house closes, I gently lay the blonde vampire, no, not Dio nor Gasper, on my bed and cover her with the bedsheets so she doesn't wake up basically half naked in a stranger's room but at least she's gonna wake up, hopefully, in a stranger's room being covered by some clean and perfumed bedsheets, not that much of an upgrade but it's better than nothing. As soon as Himiko's head touches the pillow I can see her scrunched up face relaxing a little while I lay my hand on her forehead and slowly start to infuse demonic energy inside her.

I discovered that infusing demonic energy with the intent to heal someone causes the energy to act like a health potion from most RPG and heals the person I'm infusing the energy in, it doesn't revert time like Eri's quirk which means that it's more similar to Recovery Girl's quirk but it's still really helpful even through it could further exhaust someone, that is unless I use enough energy to basically tell the injury to 'fuck off' in which case the patient doesn't exhaust themselves. This discovery happened when my mother accidentally cut herself with a knife while cooking and, since the cut was quite deep, I tried to help her while we were on our way to the hospital so a nurse could put some glue on my mom's finger and figured out this neat trick.

(AN- Yes, they actually glue your fingers back together since stitches would just come off due to how much we use our fingers even unconsciously, or at least that's what my doctor told me.)

Anyway, getting back to the little vampire on my bed, or at least little to me since she's 40 cm shorter than me even through her height's perfectly average for a Japanese woman., as soon as I start healing her I can feel her breath start to deepen and get more evenly, she must have had a cracked rib or something even worse if she had difficulty even breathing, and her expression relaxes a little bit more.

Unfortunately that's all I can do for her at the moment, the rest is all up to her. If she wants to wake up she'll have to fight and wake up on her own. Taking a piece of paper and a pen from my bedside table I write a little note describing what happened to Himiko so she hopefully doesn't freak out too much when she wakes up and I leave it on top of the bedside table and exit my room heading towards my parents' to take some of my mom's clothes so Himiko can change into something decent when she wakes up, the only problem is that even the smallest of my mom's clothes are 2 ore even 3 sizes too big due to how thin Himiko's body is at the moment plus with my mom being from England she's a bit bigger than the average Japanese woman and the last time I was as big as her was around 4/5 years ago and we don't have any more of the clothes I used at the time.

Just as I leave the folded clothes on a chair with a note saying "Feel free to change into something a little more comfortable", I hear my phone buzz and take it out from my pocket to see what caused the notification and see a text from my dad saying: "Villain accident happened near the book store, we're both fine, a little shocked since it happened quite close but no harm done. We're closing the store early and coming home. Love you"

As soon as I finish reading the text I send him a message back. "Watch out for any more incidents. I brought someone back with me so don't panic when you get home. Had to borrow some of mom's clothes, you'll understand why when you see her. I'm perfectly fine and nothing happened so don't panic. Love you too."… And send.

Not even five seconds later I receive a message from my mom: "You have some explaining to do as soon as we're home, young man!

PS. Mom loves you.

PPS. Don't you dare give me any grandchildren yet!"

Oh well, guess I should have expected that.

Later

Just as I finish cooking an easy to digest soup made with chicken and vegetables I made for whenever Himiko wakes up and start preparing the ingredients for me and my parents late lunch, I hear the front door being slammed open by a hurricane suspiciously in the shape of my mother that is heading towards me at a speed that would make any speedster proud.

"Where's my daughter in-law?!"

Three guesses as to who said that and at what volume…Anyway, while my mother is shaking me like a she's trying to break my neck just from the back and forth and I'm trying to answer her, dad closes the front door, joins us in the kitchen and, thankfully, somehow pries my mother off of me, which gives me the chance to answer her before my father's strength fails him and the motherly hurricane is unleashed again.

"First off all, nothing of that sort happened between us, Mom. Second, she's still sleeping in my bed as of right now."

Aaand… I'm getting shaken again.

Guess I should have worded that better since it might have sounded wrong to my mom, who's currently shouting stuff like 'What the hell have you done to that poor girl then?!' and 'What has my sweet baby boy become?!', all the while my father's giving me a silent thumb up and at the same moment trying to suppress his laughter, something which is being done quite poorly by the man in question.

After my dad seemingly has enough of seeing me being shacked by a woman who's a good 30cm shorter than me he finally pries my mother off of me once again and, with some convincing coming from my father and I towards my mother, we all manage to go in the dining room and sit down at the table so I can properly explain how Himiko found herself on my bed.

"Well son, now that your mother is a little calmer, can you properly explain what happened?"

Taking a breath I start explaining what exactly happened earlier that day, while omitting some details from my story since I can't really tell my parents about me knowing about a possible future because I read about it in a manga in my previous life.

"Well, I was going on a stroll around Tokyo when I heard a whimper coming from a dumpster a little hidden in an alley and, due to my gut telling me not to ignore it, I looked inside it and found the girl unconscious while bruises covered a large part of what skin was visible with her clothes almost reduced to shreds covering herself in a dirty rag-"

At this point I'm interrupted by my mother jumping on me and hugging me with so much strength that I'm having difficulty breathing, which is impressive for a woman her age with no strength enhancing quirk, but thankfully my personal hero, read as my dad, comes to my rescue for the third time today, luckily already long used to his wife's antics.

"Oh my baby! You're such a hero! Saving a young girl from the streets without even knowing her name."

"Aaah, Honey, please let Vergil go, you're suffocating him… again."

Inhaling the sweet, sweet oxygen in my poor lungs after my mom released me from her death grip I send a grateful look towards my father, once again, and before I can continue explaining what happened my mother actually asks me a question this time, instead of jumping on me either for shaking me or to suffocate me in her love.

"So, why didn't you call the police already?"

"Well, you see, it's because the police might accidentally worsen the situation."

"Why would that happen?"

This time my mother asks with a little tilt of her head while my father seems to have gotten an idea of what could cause the police to worsen the situation even further.

"It's because she's repressing her quirk, isn't it?"

"Exactly Dad, she's showing the typical symptoms of someone who's quirk has to do with blood suppressing their instincts."

Such symptoms include but are not limited to: unnatural paleness of someone's skin; coldness to the touch; dark circles under their eyes and a general feeling of the person being sick/weak when you look at them. Himiko has all four of the symptoms I listed.

'Couldn't those symptoms just be a physical mutation from someone's quirk?' some of you my ask and yes, they could, they wouldn't even be that crazy of a mutation all things considered but there's a difference between a quirk causing those mutations and them being symptoms of Quirk-Repression-Syndrome, or QRS for short. That difference is 'naturalness'. Basically whenever a quirk mutates someone it does so in a way that seems natural, like it was meant to be that way, take for example Mina Ashido. It's true that her skin is pink, she has horns, etc. but it looks natural on her because those mutation are caused by her quirk, even through people might find her ugly or unsightly that's because she's different from their perception of 'normality' but if the pink skin or the horns were caused by her repressing her quirk they would look unnatural and everyone could tell that something wrong is going on. An example that might be easier to comprehend is with food, a certain dish (dish 1) can taste good but it can also be not to your liking due to personal tastes while other dishes (dish 2) just taste bad for one reason or another.

Mutations caused by quirks are like dish 1, symptoms of QRS are dish 2.

Some of you might also be wondering how an almost 18 years old knows so much about QRS but the thing is that the news covered stuff about QRS, and even more specifically on QRS by blood quirks users, so often at the start of the quirk era that anyone who looks deep enough on the internet can tell you as much and I searched a lot to find all possible differences between this world and the fictional story's one.

Anyway as soon as my dad heard me confirming his theory his eyes hardened like those of a soldier about to head onto war while my mother loudly gasped and covered her mouth with both of her hands from the shock.

"If she's actually repressing her quirk and ended up in a dumpster then her family most certainly knows about it and decided to ignore her, if they didn't actually do something worse…"

My dad says with a sigh at the end of his sentence with a heavy look on his face, most probably caused by the thoughts going on in his mind about what Himiko might have been through.

"Yeah, that's why I didn't bring her to a hospital or call the police, I'm not sure that's what would be best for her."

As we keep discussing what happened to Toga and what to do to help her, we all hear footsteps going down the stairs and it doesn't take us long to understand who's coming from upstairs when there's only another person in the house except us. Soon enough we can see Himiko coming down from the stairs while dressed in clothes that are definitely two sizes, maybe even three, too big looking at us with some clear worry in her eyes with also a little shyness and gratitude mixed in.

"Hello there sweetie, how are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere? Do you need anything?"

My mother asks the vampire girl standing at the bottom of the stairs while hiding the pain she's feeling at seeing an innocent girl hurt like that, by her own family nonetheless, behind her sweet smile while my father and I are burying the rage we're feeling for the same reason deep down so that it doesn't show on our faces and possibly scares Himiko making her think we're angry at her.

"I'm f-fine, t-thank you."

"Are you sure sweetie? You can tell us if you need something for your quirk, nobody here is going to hurt or make you feel bad for something that's completely natural."

The instant my mom mentions her quirk Himiko's face darkens, her gaze lowers all the way to the floor and she starts shivering like a leaf in a storm while her voice gets even lower and her stutter worsens.

"R-really, i-it's fine… a-and I s-shouldn't have this u-urges anyway, they aren't normal…"

Himiko mutters the second part of her sentence in a voice so low it's a wonder my parents heard her considering they have an average hearing not enhanced in any way by their quirks or anything else.

Before either I or my father have the time to respond to Himiko, mom has already gotten up from her chair and is hugging Himiko while whispering to her in a comforting manner.

"Oh honey, that isn't real, not at all. It's perfectly normal to have urges caused by your quirk. Anyone can experience those, even someone like me who's quirk is really weak, I mean all it does is letting me know what time it is and sometimes when I see a broken clock or watch my very weak quirk makes me want to repair it even through I know almost nothing about the working of clocks or how to repair one."

"R-really?"

"Yes, really, so don't worry about your urges 'not being normal' or anything like that, okay?"

As soon as mom finishes talking Himiko's eyes get filled with a little bit of hope and small tears start to form on her eyes.

"T-then, c-can I ask for… some b-blood?"

Even through her voice keeps lowering while she talks all three of us are able to hear her with my mother immediately smiling as Himiko finishes talking.

"Sure thing sweetie. Vergil dear, could you please go get her a glass?"

Nodding to my mother I head back into the kitchen and take an empty glass from the kitchen shelf, I then put the glass on the counter and summon Yamato which, just like Beowulf and Mirage Edge, can somehow disappear inside my Devil Bringer arm. Why does it happen? How is it possible? I don't know.

While holding Yamato with my demonic arm I position my human arm above the glass and cut my wrist letting my blood flow in the glass, all the while willing my body to not instantly heal from the cut since my regeneration is also demonic and I can heal from pretty much anything in very little time. Why did I use a reality cutting katana so make a small cut on my wrist? That's easy, none of the knives we have at home can cut me.

Once the glass is about ¾ full I let my cut wrist heal, send Yamato back in the Devil Bringer, pick up the glass and get back in the dining room where I find mom, dad and Himiko all sitting at the table with both of my parents trying to make Himiko open up to them by making small talk while trying to avoid any sensitive topics.

As soon as I get back inside the room I see Himiko's eyes instantly lock onto the glass of blood in my hands. Approaching the table I put down the glass in front of Himiko and give her a small smile, which may have caused her to blush.

"Here you go, drink slowly okay?"

"Thank you."

With those two words and a small nod of her head Himiko slowly takes a sip of my blood… before immediately drowning the entire glass, suddenly glowing in an azure light and then once again falling asleep… Maybe demon blood was a bit too much for her, especially considering she had just woken up and that it most probably was the first blood she had in a long time…

Around 3 months later

After Himiko woke up the next day, and we managed to reassure her that everything was fine, she started telling us about how she got in that situation and it's only because Himiko told us repeatedly that she didn't want anything to do with her old family that I managed to restrain myself from killing them. From what she told us her 'mother' either completely ignored treated her like a slave, making her do every chore in the house and almost never letting her go out the house while her 'father' went a little further. He hit her for basically everything, if she made even the smallest mistake while doing anything, be it cleaning the house, cooking dinner or anything else, she got beaten and sometimes he beat her just because he felt like doing it, her 'brother' being not that different from his father and taking out any frustration he had on her. Thankfully neither of the two sexually assaulted her, otherwise the police would have to work really hard to find anything remaining of them except from their blood splattered all over the house.

One day when they told her to go sleep outside for whatever bullshit reason they came up with, Himiko ended up sleeping in a dumpster to avoid the cold night as best as she could and I luckily found her the next day before anything else could happen to the poor girl.

When Himiko finished talking about her 'family' my mother immediately tightly hugged her while silently crying, something that Himiko also started doing pretty soon, and both me and dad were trying to console the two.

Once everyone calmed down mom asked Himiko if she wanted us to call the police and press charges against them but she kept saying that she just didn't want anything to do with them any more. As soon as my mother heard that she once again hugged Himiko and told her that she wouldn't have to ever see them again and that she could stay with us for as long as she wanted, which ended up with Himiko once again crying in my mother's arms and with us unofficially adopting her. And that's how I met my sister.

Over this three months we discovered a little side effects that my blood had on Himiko, or more specifically on her quirk. It seems that the azure glow that happened the first time she drank my blood was caused by her quirk evolving. This evolution gave her the ability to not only transform into someone who's blood she drank but also the ability to copy their quirk and, if the person if physically stronger, even get temporarily slightly strengthened without necessarily transforming in said person. Due to this whenever she drinks my blood, something which occurs quite often, she also gets an increased healing factor, it's nowhere near mine but it's still stronger than a normal human's, that has helped incredibly in bringing her back to a healthy state.

We also discovered pretty soon that Himiko's education wasn't even at an elementary school level due to her 'parents' pulling her out from school as soon as she got her quirk to 'homeschool' her. As soon as we got to know this little piece of information my… our parents took out all my old school books and started to actually homeschool her and I've estimated that before I go to UA she should have reached a level where she could take the UA entrance exam together with me, which is saying something that she can cram all that knowledge in her brain in just ten months.

Anyway, getting back to present, today I'm taking a stroll through Musutafu, more specifically Takoba beach. In this three months since I found Himiko I kept procrastinating looking at the beach with a portal due to one reason or another so I decided to just come here in person and be done with it.

Once I reach the beach turned dump I see that at the moment I'm the only one here so either today's Izuku's day off, the two are off to throw the trash in an actual dump or Izuku just never got the offer but since there's some clean spots on the beach I don't think it's the last one. Oh well I might as well train a little since I'm here.

Taking out Beowulf I start to swing my fists following the basic movements of boxing just to warm up before actually training the more serious moves of my Devil Arms. Speaking of, both Yamato, Beowulf and Mirage Edge came with the knowledge of the original Vergil, meaning that as soon as I touched them all the information about the three weapons move set was uploaded into my brain, something which caused quite the headache by the way, and I've been training with them for about ten years and have by now mastered almost all attacks except for Judgment Cut End, Hell on Earth and Deep Stinger since those require the Sin Devil Trigger and I still haven't unlocked even the normal Devil Trigger, let alone the stronger version.

After having finished training with both Yamato, Beowulf and Mirage Edge I sit down cross legged in one of the various clearings spotted around the beach and start to meditate to try to unlock at least my basic Devil Trigger. In the games it's never stated exactly how they unlock their DTs so I'm trying with the most classic of methods: meditation. As I empty my mind and start looking inside me for the demonic energy residing inside me I can feel myself being pulled by something and soon loose the perception of time.

Change of POV to ?. Same time.

Once I get back to Takoba beach from the municipal dump I immediately start heading towards the clearing I have created earlier today to keep going on my goal of clearing the beach so my body would be ready to receive One for All, All Might's quirk, so that I can go to UA and my dream of being a hero can become reality.

"So, young Midoriya, how do you feel after these three months of training?"

Speaking of, my mentor All Might, currently in his skinny form so as to preserve his 'hero time' for when he needs to work as a hero and not my trainer, asks me with his typical smile on his face while looking at the beach, likely to see how much progress I made and how much more I have to do before the beach is finally clean, hopefully before the UA entrance exam in around 7 months.

"I feel much stronger than I ever was before All Might!"

And it's not just a feeling, I can now easily move stuff that would have given me a lot more trouble just three months ago. I'm obviously nowhere near the level of strength of someone with a strength enhancing quirk, let alone All Might, but I'm still stronger than someone my age usually is, which feels incredible since I've been pretty weak all my life.

As we pass a little hill hiding the clearing, we can both see a pretty handsome young man around my age dressed in a light, black training suit suitable for the summer heat doing what looks like meditation in the middle of the clearing while a katana with a white hilt while the octagonal Tsuba (guard) and the Tsuka have the traditional gold and black colour scheme.

While I'm still observing the stranger, that doesn't seem to have noticed our presence, meditating and wondering what his quirk is and if it might have something to do with his katana, I suddenly see him transform into something which looks like it comes straight from somewhere in the biblical hell.

With both me and All Might still looking at the demon-turned man with awe and slight fear, the latter only applicable to me, he suddenly gets up, grabs his katana, jumps about 50 meters in the air with barely any wind up and unleashes an incredibly fast and strong slash in the direction of the sea which causes the waves to split for about 50 meters and for about 3 seconds before once again reconnecting, something which I had never seen before, not with a sword at least, and thought was possible only for All Might himself or someone with a really strong water manipulation quirk.

As he descends back to the ground I see him sheathing his katana and, as soon as he touches the ground, turn back into a human.

Vergil's POV. Five minutes before transforming.

As I open my eyes once again I find myself floating in a void which is completely empty and black except for an azure sphere floating in the distance and if I'm right then I'm inside my soul and the azure sphere represents my demonic power.

Willing my soul projection to get closer to the demon sphere I can see that it's roughly the size of a two story house even though it looked as big as a basketball before I got closer. When I'm finally close enough to touch the sphere I slowly bring my hand up and try to touch my demonic power and as soon as my hand comes into contact with it I can feel that the pulling sensation from before is back and I let it pull myself once more until it stops when I reach the center.

Once I'm here I can feel my real body outside changing which should mean that I have achieved the Devil Trigger but to confirm my hypothesis I need to exit my soul.

Opening my eyes once more this time I find myself back in the clearing I was before and, wanting to test my strength in this new form, I jump about 50 meters in the air and slash Yamato with enough strength and technique to temporarily split the ocean before I find myself falling back towards the ground.

Once I transform back from my Devil Trigger, which I feel looks like more like Dante's one from DMC 5 but in a blue colour scheme from what I saw in my reflection in the sea than Vergil's, I notice that I'm not the only one any more in the beach but the two I've been looking for are finally here, both All Might, or Toshinori Yagi, in his skinny form and… well I guess I found another little difference from the original universe since Izuku isn't really 'Izuku' but more likely Izumi due to 'him' now being a woman. Oh well, I guess things could have been a lot worse for hi-… her since she just got gender bended... and she's also pretty cute.

Oops, seems she caught me looking at her and is blushing quite a bit, maybe she's just as inexperienced with the opposite sex as Izuku would have been if he actually existed in this universe.

Stopping the staring contest with this world's gender-bended protagonist, I see All Might coming towards me so I also start to walk towards him, once we've closed the distance between us he extends a hand towards me, probably trying to guess from my face that I'm not of Japanese descent, and speaks in English with the typical American accent, even through it's a little masked by his Japanese accent.

"Hello there young man. Pretty impressive move you did there. Are you here for some training?"

Accepting his handshake, I look at Izumi and see she's making a confused face probably from not understanding what her mentor just said, so I speak in Japanese to let her understand.

"Thanks and yes, I was just training. The name's Vergil Redgrave by the way. What about you? What brought you and your daughter here, mister…?"

I know Izumi isn't All Might's daughter but I never was one to pass on the opportunity to tease a cute girl, ask Himiko if you don't believe me, I must have made her blush a couple dozen times by now, and it certainly bore fruit judging from the absolutely atomic blush on her face.

A little shocked from me speaking Japanese, and maybe also from me calling his student his daughter, All Might took a moment to answer.

"Toshinori Yagi and this young woman next to me isn't my daughter but my student, I'm training her to become a hero."

With a small nod from him I see Izumi take a step forward and bow a little before introducing herself.

"H-Hello, my n-name is Midoriya Izumi. I'm training to take the UA college exam."

"Oh, would you look at that, I'm also training to take the UA entrance exam in seven months. Guess we'll be classmates with a little bit of luck."

As I say the last part of my sentence I see Izumi's face darkens a little before she asks me with a really low voice.

"Do y-you really t-think I can pass the exam?"

Shrugging my shoulder I answer her.

"Sure, why not? I mean, everyone's got a chance, why wouldn't you also have one?"

Hearing my answer a little bit of hope reaches her eyes and her face lightens up a little.

"D-Do you think s-someone quirkless could be a hero?"

Huh, seems that even though All Might already told her so that her self esteem problems aren't that easy to fix. Shaking my head a little at her insecurity, I shrug again and answer her.

"Yeah, after all until recently technically ALL heroes were quirkless so why can't someone quirkless be a hero now? Sure, they'll be at a disadvantage against pretty much anyone but so what? Haven't heroes always been at a disadvantage against villains?"

That might have been a little too much considering she's almost crying now, Izumi must be even more insecure about herself than Izuku if even after All Might himself told her she could be a hero she's still so moved by my words.

"Ahem."

Coughing to get our attention on him and to avoid Izumi flooding the beach with her tears like her mother would, All Might claps his hands together and indicates both of us before speaking once again.

"Right! Since you both are training for UA how about training together?"

"Fine by me, what do you say Midoriya, want a training partner?"

Nodding my head at All Might, I move my gaze back towards Izumi and ask her with a small smile plastered on my face.

"If y-you're fine with someone like me."

"Let me ask you something before we start, what kind of heroine do you want to become? Do you want to become the type of hero that fights villains like All Might or more a rescue hero like Thirteen?"

"I… I think I would like to be the kind of heroine that can do both."

"I see. Well I can't really help you in learning how to be a rescue heroine but I can help you in learning how to fight villains. What do you say, wanna spar?"

"I-if Toshinori sensei's alright with that."

With Izumi saying that we both look at small might, who has moved some meters away from us to leave us the space to train and see him give us a big ol' thump's up.

"Sure, just try not to hurt each other too much."

Nodding to him I turn towards Izumi and get myself into a battle ready stance with my fists raised without any weapons since this is just training.

"Alright then, have you ever been in a fight before?"

As I ask this I see her flinch before she answers me.

"Not r-really."

Pretty sure that 'king explosion murder', or whatever his hero name is, still ended up bullying her, probably also beating her up whenever he wanted but she's also technically correct since being beaten up doesn't really count as fighting.

"Then I'll guide you into a simple fighting stance. Put up your arms and make a fist with your hands… Good, now spread your legs a little until your feet are directly below your shoulders… Just like that, bend your knees a little next… Too much… Alright, now eyes up front and get ready, we're starting."
