UA High

"Sit down and have some tea, Young Midoriya."

Toshinori gestures towards the cup filled with warm tea and the sofa as Izuku sits down on the couch before taking the cup. Izuku looks at Toshinori; his face reveals his curiosity, and he wonders why Toshinori calls him. Toshinori looks at him for a moment before opening his mouth.

"How are you feeling? You didn't strain yourself with your training, right?" Toshinori asks in concern. "Did you use Gearshift? Did Torino-sensei go overboard? Please tell me, did you get enough rest? Did you-!?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Toshinori-sensei! Breath!" Izuku exclaims, stopping the man from continuing. "I….I'm okay. I don't strain myself with training and I didn't use Gearshift on myself. Torino-sensei….is a bit much, but he didn't go overboard, and I did get enough rest."

The answer made Toshinori sigh in relief. Ever since he was late to USJ, the thought of possibly losing Izuku made Toshinori very afraid. He had failed to save people several times in his career, but none terrified him as much as almost too late saving Izuku. He has been unable to stop blaming himself ever since that day.

"That's a relief." Toshinori let out a sigh as Hackmon decided to pop up from Izuku's phone and sat next to Izuku. "Oh, hello, Hackmon."

"Hey, Toshinori-san," Hackmon greets back.

"Sensei, is there any reason you want to call me besides checking up on me?" Izuku asks as he places Hackmon on his lap. "Did your time limit get shorter?"

"No, no. I can still maintain it for 2 hours at most." Toshinori says while waving his hand, making Izuku sigh in relief. "I…..I guess I owe you a thank you as well for what you did in USJ,"

"N-no need!" Izuku exclaims. "I-I was being super reckless back then, I-!"

"Young Midoriya, you saved your fellow students' and teacher's lives back then," Toshinori exclaims. "It may be reckless, but what you did deserves more than a simple thank you,"

"I…." Izuku looks down, twiddling with his fingers. "I just did what is right…"

"And that sole reason is why you will be a great hero, Young Midoriya." Toshinori smiles at him. Izuku can't help but doubt himself. Will he? He still remembers how he try to avoid being a hero after remembering his pre-reincarnated life and knowing what the future stores. Then, all of the actions he did in his past life, it wasn't pretty, he is anything but a good guy.

"Anyways, there are other things I would like to talk about," Toshinori states, getting Izuku's attention. "You must've been informed about the Sport Festivals, right?"

"Yeah, Nedzu stated that it was postponed to one month from now, wanting to increase security," Izuku says as Toshinori nods.

"It's a wise choice. Student's safety is a top priority," Toshinori says. "Anyways, before I continue, how much of your current progress on using One For All?"

"I….still choose to stay at 10% and push till 15%, but back then in USJ, I used 20% against those beings they call Nomus," Izuku says while rubbing his head. "It was a sheer adrenaline moment, and when I tried again, I felt like my muscles tearing apart. So, I remain at 10% for a moment while practicing using 15%."

"I see, that's good progress," Toshinori nods proudly as Hackmon hums in agreement.

"….I'm going to be honest, sensei. Part of the reason why I could even do all of this was thanks to the knowledge I got from my past life, and I got it out of pure luck." Izuku admits. "….If I never remember it, I will still be struggling. This feels like cheating…"

"Ah, right….your past life is truly confusing," Toshinori admits while scratching his head as Izuku snorts before nodding in agreement.

"If you're confused by it, what about me?" Izuku asks rhetorically, making the two of them chuckle slightly.

"….Sorry, Young Midoriya. I have no words to help you with that. I can't exactly relate to you because we both go through different experiences…" Toshinori says as Izuku merely nods.

"That's true…" Izuku sighs. "But, be honest with me, sensei? Do…..do I deserve it? The knowledge of my past? The progress I made by abusing it?"

"Let me ask you, that knowledge you've gotten provided you with everything about Young Eri and Young Himiko, right?" Toshinori asks which Izuku nods. "Then, do you regret 'abusing' it to save them?"

"W-what!? No! Both of them deserve to be saved!" Izuku exclaims before shaking his head. "But, it's a different thing."

"No, it isn't, Young Midoriya. You receive the knowledge of the future and you use them. If I was in your shoes, I would do the same thing." Toshinori admits. "As for deserving, I think Young Eri and Himiko are enough to answer that question."

"It was a pure luck of encountering them…." Izuku mutters as he hugs Hackmon. "Besides, there are so many people who deserve to be saved like those two, yet I have no idea where they are and how to help them. It didn't help that I forgot the USJ and I had to message you at the last minute, my lack of foresight endangered everyone."

"You think too much about it!" Toshinori exclaims before karate-chopping Izuku's head, making him yelp in pain while Hackmon glares at Toshinori. "You forgot, despite all of your knowledge, you are just a human. You can't do everything."

"I….wish I did more, though…I wish I was better…." Izuku mutters as Toshinori places his hands.

"Everyone feels that way, trust me," Toshinori advised. "But, don't let that thought take over. Do as much as you can, and if you think you can do more, then do more. But, don't overdo it and hurt yourself as a result. Like how you progress One For All, keep improving at your pace, and push yourself through your limit, but don't break yourself."

"T-thanks, All Might…." Izuku mutters with a smile. "It's….a good advice…"

"Years of experience do provide you with a lot of wisdom," Toshinori says while puffing his chest proudly as Izuku merely nods. "Also, regarding about Sports Festival, I wish you simply do your best."

"Eh?" Izuku was surprised. He was expecting Toshinori to advise him to win the Sports Festival and tell the world that he was here.

"You have too much burden on your shoulders, Young Midoriya. I wish to not add you with another one," Toshinori says with a smile before ruffling his hair. "But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do your absolute best. After all, it is still a competition where everyone is watching." Toshinori then leans closer. "Don't tell anyone, but I'll cheer for you, kid,"

"H-hai!" Izuku exclaims as he giggles at Toshinori's words. Hackmon simply snorts in amusement.

"Also, have you prepared about the speech you will make during the Sports Festival?" Izuku froze before looking at Toshinori in shock. "…You forget about it, didn't you?"

"…yes…..it didn't help that Katsuki Bakugou was originally supposed to be the one who gave the speech," Izuku says while looking away, hiding his embarrassed blush.

"….Who in the right mind made that choice!?" Toshinori asks in complete bafflement. Izuku merely gives him a blank stare. "…."

"I'll….just let my future self worry about it. There are more important things than speeches and I still have a month to think about it," Izuku clears his throat. "A-anyways, do you know what happened to Aizawa, Toshinori-sensei?"

"Sorry, Young Midoriya. But, it's not something I should disclose to you. You are not UA Staff, after all." Izuku merely nods.


Later

"Well, that talk sure is something…" Hackmon mutters as he sits on Izuku's shoulders and lays his head on Izuku's fluffy hair.

"Yeah…" Izuku mutters as he walks through the hallway, going back to his class.

"You're okay?" Hackmon asks in concern, lightly poking Izuku.

"I'm fine, Hackmon," Izuku says with a smile while rubbing Hackmon's cheeks.

"Are you sure? The talk earlier says otherwise…." Hackmon points out.

"….there's nothing more that I can say, Hackmon," Izuku says with a sigh. "I have to agree with what All Might said, all I can do right now is to move at my own pace."

"…I had to admit, but I wish Gankoomon had that kind of mindset," Hackmon mutters in jealousy.

"He always overdid with your training, didn't he?" Izuku asks in sympathy.

"Oh, you have no idea!" Hackmon exclaims while sighing in exasperation. "I keep mistaking his training for punishment and physical abuse! It didn't help the Sistermons were too trigger-happy when they were training me!"

"Oof," Izuku winces before rubbing Hackmon's head. Hackmon let out a sigh of relief as he leaned on Izuku's palm. As they walk back to the class, they blink when a crowd of students blocks the entrance. Izuku remembers how the other class reacted during the USJ incident in canon, and he can't help but feel annoyed.

Teachers and students were attacked by villains and they could've died, but those people simply think of how the students gain the media attention. This level of apathy disturbed Izuku to no end, and he wondered why in the world would they feel that way.

Izuku shakes his head as he pushes his thought away, stopping himself from going ahead of himself. This is an alternate timeline and it might be different. So, he lets Hackmon return to the Digi-Vice and approaches them before seeing Iida surprised by the crowd.

"What in the world is going on!?" Iida exclaims in shock. "Why are you all blocking our way!?"

"Isn't it obvious, four-eyes?!" Bakugou exclaims and Izuku groans mentally, fearing Bakugou will fuck things up. "They're here to scope out the competition. Given that we're kids who survived the villain attack, it makes total sense that they are curious. Move the fuck aside, cannon fodder!"

….Izuku ponders which one is better, strangling him with his tongue or his intestine.

"Can you please show more respect to your peers!? And don't insult them by calling them cannon fodder!" Iida exclaims while chopping the air.

"That is true that we're here to look, but you guys are truly something." From the crowd, a student with messy purple hair and a pair of eyebags reminds Izuku of Eraserhead (Shinsou). "Are all hero students this modest?"

"No, that's just him," Izuku decided to speak up, startling everyone as they moved away from Izuku. Izuku takes this chance to walk through the crowd and face the entire students. "Sorry for having to witness this rabid dog, but I can assure you that none of us were like him. Unlike him, none of us were overcompensating for something."

"The fuck, Deku?!" Bakugou is very close to having an aneurysm as he looks at Izuku with sheer disbelief while everyone tries their best to not laugh. Even Shinsou barely stopped his lips from twitching upward.

"Even so, I wasn't impressed. I expect more from any of you given how the media fawning the kids who survived a villain attack," Shinsou says dryly. He didn't realize the tension he had created from his words and continued to talk. "Those who weren't able to make it into the Hero Course were stuck in the General Department or other courses UA provided. If we did well enough in Sports Festival, there's a chance that we could get to the Hero Course, and it's possible that the reverse could be true."

The tension increased as Class 1-A looked at Shinsou, but none of them said a word. This made Shinsou narrow his eyes and his lips curled upward, forming a smirk while Izuku frowned at Shinsou's expression. He knows the boy was somewhat of an asshole in the early story, but the expression he gives everyone bothers him in some way.

"Some of us might be scoping for the competition, but me? I believe this is a perfect chance to knock you hero students down a pedestal, consider this as my declaration of war." Shinsou says confidently.

"…then, I suggest you to prepare yourself. We all plan to give it our all, and thanks to you, we know who we might watch out for." Izuku says while narrowing his eyes. Given Shinsou's smirk, he is confident in himself. Before the conversation continues, a familiar blond-haired boy (Monoma) walks out of the crowd. Izuku can't help but wonder where the boy is while introducing UA's fight club.

"Oh, my. It's finally nice to meet you, class 1-A." The boy says in a mocking tone.

"…who are you?" Izuku pretends he doesn't know who the boy is to avoid suspicion.

"My name is Neito Monoma of Class 1-B," Monoma introduces himself, and Izuku still questions why he didn't see him during that day. "I must say, I have heard the news of a student who got himself injured during the villain attack, is that you?"

"…." Izuku narrows his eyes, controlling his anger while wondering what is this guy's deal. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, nothing," Monoma says with a smirk. "I was wondering if you even deserve your spot in the hero course. Everyone walks out almost unharmed during the attack and you are the only student who got injured badly. I can't help but think who let a talentless trash be part of the course-!?"

No one was able to react as Ochako sprang out of nowhere and delivered the greatest slap every student ever witnessed. The slap plus her quirk sends the boy crashing to the ceiling. Izuku widens his eyes in pure shock as he sees a pure unadulterated rage on her face with tears threatening to escape from her eyes.

"Don't you fucking dare mock him! All of us were alive and unscathed because of him," Ochako exclaims in fury. "He faced the villain alone so they wouldn't harm us! He fought tooth and nail to fight them off, and three of them were monsters with multiple quirks, and one of them sent our former homeroom teacher, who's a goddamn pro hero, to the hospital while he had to fight multiple of them! He almost died, and you decided to mock him!?! How dare you!"

Ochako releases her quirk, causing the boy to fall to the ground harshly while the crowd moves away from him. Ochako rushes towards Monoma with anger before Izuku stops her by wrapping her with his arms.

"Izu-kun, let me go!" Ochako exclaims in anger. "This bastard needs to pay for what he said!"

"Ochako, please calm down." Izuku refuses to budge.

"Why? Why are stopping me?! Why are you not mad!?" Ochako exclaims in anger.

"It's not worth the trouble, please." Izuku pleads. "Don't get yourself in trouble because of him."

"…" Ochako remains silent before she starts sobbing, making Izuku worried. "Y-you almost died…..and he makes fun of you…..I….I can't…." Ochako lowers her head and starts crying. Izuku didn't say a word and continued to hug her. No one says a word, some grow nervous as the majority of Class 1-A glaring daggers at Monoma.

"Arrgh!" Monoma shouts in pain before getting up. He then notices the glare he receives from everyone before he grows nervous as well.

"….leave," Izuku says coldly. Monoma was unable to retort as a powerful pressure emitted from Izuku spread through the crowd causing the majority of the crowd to collapse to the ground with foams coming out from their mouth. Those who remain standing freeze in fear.

Bakugou looks at Izuku with wide eyes as he starts to breathe heavily, his body is trembling. He can't help but wonder what in the world was that pressure from Deku, how did it knock down all of those extras and how did Deku keep getting stronger. More and more questions start to appear in Bakugou's head as he watches Izuku get Ochako away from the crowd.

Todoroki is silently staring at Izuku as questions also appear in his head. He can't help but wonder about the mystery surrounding him. First, what is his relationship with All Might? Second, what exactly is his quirk, super strength, super speed, super senses, or whatever the hell that was?! Third, is he bullshitting about him being formerly quirkless? He is too strong and too skilled for someone who just got their quirk during the entrance exam day.

Hanzo stares at Izuku with wide eyes, unable to believe what he has just witnessed. Did Izuku Midoriya just pull a Conqueror's Haki out of nowhere? How did he do it!? Is Haki a quirk in this world or a completely different thing? And how is he able to know its existence!? And if Haki truly exists, then how did he never hear of their existence during his time as Naruhata Vigilante?!

Then, a wild theory appears. Could Izuku possibly be a transmigrator who got Haki from ROB that sent him here?! It could be because he did encounter said ROB when he died. If that's true, then why in the world did Izuku get something as OP as Haki and One For All while all he got is a quirk that creates weapons and always lands him in the hospital during the early days because of iron deficiency? He can't help but find it unfair. The only cheat he gets is keeping the memories of his past including the knowledge of MHA's storyline while Izuku somehow got the Gary Stu treatment.

He shakes his head, getting rid of his thoughts before he gets ahead of himself. He didn't want to make assumptions and start jumping into action again, not wanting to get others killed. He already got Lady Nagant and Knuckleduster killed because of it, and he didn't want history to repeat itself.


Later

Meeting Room

Izuku and Yaomomo can be seen sitting on the table while facing the rest of the class representatives. Each of them tries to avoid eye contact with Izuku, making Yaomomo scoff at them while muttering something under her breath. Izuku has no idea what she said, but he has a feeling he didn't want to know.

'Now you know how we feel when you thought in your former native language…' Nana states as Izuku can't help but be sheepish at the accusation. He looks around to familiarize himself with the class representatives from each class. For the hero course, there's him and Yaomomo, then a girl with orange hair tied in a side-ponytail style (Itsuka Kendo) and a chubby-looking boy with ice-blue hair and very wide eyes (Niringeki Shoda) beside him.

The class representative of General studies consists of a girl with short dark brown hair (Chikuchi Togeike), a muscular guy with red and white hair in the shape of a pompadour (Wait, isn't that guy one of the examinees from the same test site as his?), a well-toned humanoid wolf with teal fur, a girl with blue hair, a pair of tanuki ears and a fluffy blue tail on her back (Shirou and Michiru!? Oh, god, the crossover is real!), a young boy with golden hair and a pair of red eyes scowling at everyone, and a tall person with long green hair (They remind me of Gilgamesh and Enkidu from Fate…nah, no way).

The class representative of the Support course consists of Miles, a bald young boy who seems at Miles' age with a pair of green-lensed goggles on his head (Reminds me of Gizmo…), Hatsume, a girl with dark brown hair and a headband consisting of a pair of blue bells on the side (Maina Furasu), and a pair of the missing seat. The four of them seem to be discussing together regarding support items.

As for the Management course, three people are discussing with each other. One is a boy with blue long hair shaped like a beehive (Futo Nagashira), a girl with short green hair and glasses (Komako Masu), and a boy with black hair and a pair of swirl-like blush (Ronaudo Keage). Izuku blinks, wondering why are there two people missing from the Support Course and why there are only three students from the Management course.

"…this is awkward…" Izuku mutters quietly before taking a deep breath.

"…I thought we're supposed to have a meeting right now…" Yaomomo mutters quietly.

"I have a feeling everyone didn't have anything in mind and just came here because it is mandatory." Izuku muses with a sweatdrop.

"Hello…." Both of them turn to see Kendo who looks nervous and ashamed. "I-I'm Itsuka Kendo, and this is Niringeki Shoda. We never got to introduce ourselves during the club's trial last week."

"Izuku Midoriya, and this is Momo Yaoyorozu. To be fair, we all were too busy got our ass handed by an old geezer to introduce ourselves properly." Izuku says as Kendo can't help but snort.

"True," Kendo replied before she rubbed the back of her head. "Midoriya….I would like to apologize for what Monoma said. He had crossed the line."

"He is more than crossing the line," Yaomomo stated with a slight glare. "He has zero idea of what happened, making fun of my friend, discredit him, and even insult him. My friend almost died, and he insensitively made fun of him for that…."

"I know, and I'm sorry about that," Kendo says with a sigh. "I have told him to not do it and he didn't listen."

"Then, perhaps next time, make sure to put a shock collar on that rabid dog," Yaomomo growls.

"Yaomomo, easy there," Izuku says as he gently puts his hand on her shoulder, calming her down.

"S-sorry…I lose control of my anger…" Yaomomo mutters. "And please don't apologize for that rabid dog, you are not the one at fault."

"Thank you…" Kendo bows slightly.

"And you don't have to apologize for being angry," Shoda mutters. "I would react the same way if my friends had to deal with that kind of bullshit."

"I'm surprised that you didn't feel angry at all," Kendo points out.

"Oh, trust me, I'm angry," Izuku says with a smile on his face. "I was just wondering what should I do with this anger. Should I rip that bastard's balls off and shove it to his mouth, or should I chop his hand off and shove it through his ass."

A loud record scratch can be heard in the meeting room as everyone stops what they are doing and looks at Izuku in utter disbelief.

"I was kidding, I was kidding!" Izuku exclaims while waving his hands in panic. This was enough to make everyone sigh in relief and return to their activity.

"That was too much, Midoriya," Kendo mutters as Izuku rubs his head sheepishly.

"Sorry," Izuku says. "But I wasn't lying about I'm angry at Monoma. I mean, who doesn't? I was done with dealing with people like him, and I was preparing to punch his teeth off. But Ochako took everyone by surprise and I put my focus on her."

"So, that brown-haired girl's name is Ochako…" Kendo mutters.

"Yes, and her full name is Ochako Uraraka," Yaomomo explains.

"First name basis?" Shoda asks with a raised eyebrow.

"So, when will the meeting start?" Izuku decided to change the subject, refusing to give anyone a chance to tease the hell out of him. Setsuna is in his class and Awase confirms that she's a tease, and there's no way he let either Shoda or Kendo accidentally tell the class everything.

"…..you guys were serious?" Kendo asks in shock.

"….there's no meeting?" Izuku asks in shock.

"Well, we should have, but all of us have no topic to discuss for this meeting, so…." Shoda says as Izuku and Yaomomo look at them in utter disbelief.

"….." Izuku simply lay down his head while silently groaning. "You got to be kidding me….this is a filler…."

To be continued
