TwinstarDragon: Thank you.

BurstEvolution9000: Yes, there will be. But as for who, you just have to wait and see. Although, that idea has merits.

Da Lone Ranger: I…wasn't trying to. I say 'Easy there', not 'don't hate Mineta'.


A few Days Later

Izuku's Room, Midoriya Household

Musutafu, Japan

"Ya tuhan, latihan kemarin gila…(God, yesterday's training is insane…)" Izuku mutters as he walks out of the bathroom with his UA uniform and a towel hanging on his head. It has been a few days since Gran Torino decided to teach the entire member of the Fight Club about Haki and it's safe to say that the training he had to deal with is much more intense than usual.

Given that he asks All Might to help ask Gran Torino regarding his training, and Eijirou seeks the old man out, Gran has the bright idea of continuing their daily morning training. Izuku thought that his morning training was brutal, but having twice the training was insane.

'If you feel exhausted, you could take a break,' Nana suggested in his head, and as she said that, he received a message from Gran that there wouldn't be training tomorrow morning and even updated his old training schedule with a new pdf file. So, the morning training will be on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and the Fight Club happens on Monday and Friday. So, he gets to have a break every Wednesday, unlike back then when he had to train every single day with only having a break on Sunday.

It is still a great mystery how those fanfic writers made their characters train for 7 days a week. There is no time for them to rest at all or even recover from their fatigues. Is it because they prefer characters grow stronger as fast as possible? He then pauses before looking at his scarred hand, remembering how he unlocks Gearshift and uses it to beat the Nomus. He shouldn't have been able to do that, but yet, he did.

'You overthink things again…' Izuku stops as he hears Kudo speak to him.

'...sorry,' Izuku apologize sheepishly.

'You really need to stop thinking of yourself like you are stuck in a fictional world, this is real. There is no Mary Sue or Gary Stu, there is no main or side characters or any of that stuff,' Kudo says sternly. 'If you merely see yourself as nothing but a character in a story, it will only delude yourself in your imaginary world…'

'Sorry...' Izuku replies as he lets out a sigh. 'I guess….remembering how this world is like the manga I used to read or the anime I used to watch made me think this way. You're right though, I should stop…'

'Yeah,' En agrees. 'Trust me on this, you don't want to delude yourself in your own fantasy world. Based on what Yoichi said and the future knowledge you got, All For One is a victim of those.'

'…' Izuku didn't say a word but he did agree with En. As he enters his room, he looks at Hackmon doing something on the table. Curious, he takes a peek and is surprised to see him attempt to draw something using his claws and a bottle of ink, but from the result, it's safe to say that he's unsuccessful.

"Damn it!" Hackmon groans as he tosses away the paper but Izuku catches it, surprising Hackmon. "O-oh, hey, Izu…"

"You're trying to draw Gankoomon and the Sistermons, aren't you?" Izuku asks as Hackmon widens his eyes in surprise.

"How did you know? I mean, my drawing is so bad that it's unrecognizable!" Hackmon exclaims the last part a bit too loudly.

"Well, I speak through experiences," Izuku says with a chuckle before pointing at each figure in the drawing. "I mean, it was obvious like this guy is Gankoomon, a hunk with a trench coat on his back like a cape and his Stand."

"Stand?" Hackmon tilts his head in confusion.

"A story for another time," Izuku shakes his head. "Second, the three figures behind him, this girl with a hat that resembles a bunny while holding a trident, this one has a hat shaped like a teddy bear holding a katana, and the last one has a hat that looks like a cat holding guns. I think the Sistermons fit all the bills."

"… If I didn't know what I was drawing, I would never figure out who is who," Hackmon mutters.

"Like I said, speak through experiences. Given that I used to draw like this, and seeing my old siblings attempt to draw, this one isn't that bad," Izuku says as Hackmon gives him a skeptical look. "I was being serious, you should see my attempt at drawing. Nothing but stickmans!" This earns a snort from Hackmon. "Also, maybe you should go and visit them,"

"…you know why I avoid them," Hackmon mutters.

"And I know you miss them," Izuku says while patting his head. "One thing I know about families is they're unable to stay mad with each other for very long. From what you've told me, it's safe to say that you have a genuine familial bond with the 4 of them. Even after everything that happens, you will always still love them no matter what, and separate from them for a while will make you feel that way."

"…" Hackmon didn't refute his statement as Izuku was right. Even if he is mad at them for keeping him from his destined partner, they are still family. Digi-destined partner is one thing, but family is another. "I…I need a bit of time…."

"Of course…" Izuku says while gently hugging him. "Take your time. I simply told you because you might need to hear it."

"Y-yeah, I do…" Hackmon says with a smile before nuzzling Izuku's cheeks, making Izuku chuckles. "T-thanks…."

"We're partners, remember? Partners have each other's back, just like friends do…" Izuku says with a smile.

"Mhm…" Hackmon mutters before feeling the burnt marks on Izuku's palm.

"Izu...is it a good idea to keep practicing with that move?" Hackmon asks. "Ever since you got Gearshift, you have been practicing with it on other stuff. I hate seeing you hurt like this...is there no other way?"

"...sorry for making you concerned, Hackmon," Izuku says apologetically. "But... I need to find a way to counter any possible dangers I face. Practicing Gearshift in that way will not only give me more coverage, but the constant practice is what I need to do to prevent future self-injuries."

"But, surely, there's another way..." Hackmon exclaims.

"There is, but it's much more harmful than this. It's my current safest option, sorry buddy." Izuku says. "But, at least, I got Gran to whack me from harming myself even further."

"...Izu, are you secretly a masochist?" Hackmon asks innocently. It feels like an anvil crashing into Izuku's head as the vestiges laugh.

'Haha! It's gold!' Banjo exclaims with a laugh. 'Finally, someone calling the kid out!'

'He keeps harming himself with his secret technique that it isn't funny!' Nana stated.

'But, we had to admit, his idea of using Gearshift is ingenious.' Kudo muses. 'And it's annoying that I didn't think of it.'

'Given that you're too busy to survive and never got a chance to see how you can improve your quirk, we can't blame you.' Yoichi says. Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door.

"Izuku, Hackmon? Breakfast ready!" Inko says from the other side.

"Okay, mom!/Midoriya-san!" The duo exclaims.

"You can just call me Inko, Hackmon. You're part of the family now," Inko added as Hackmon blinked in surprise.

"I wasn't expecting that…" Hackmon mutters.

"Given how you are my partner who lived with me and saved my life, I say it's a matter of time before it happens," Izuku says with a snort. "But, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"….Is it okay for me to be part of another family?" Hackmon mutters.

"If you care for both of them, then yes," Izuku says. "Family is more than ties between blood, it's a powerful bond between individuals. Why do you think the concept of adoption exists?"

"I…suppose…" Hackmon mutters.

"…sorry if you feel forced about this," Izuku says.

"What?! No! I…I didn't feel forced, in fact, I felt honored! It's just…" Hackmon trails off.

"You never dealt with something like this?" Izuku asks as Hackmon nods. "Well, don't worry too much about it."

"Okay," Hackmon says with a smile, which Izuku returns. As they walk out of the room, Izuku's phone rings and he takes a look. To his surprise, Takechi has sent a message to him. Confused and curious, Izuku looks at the message as Hackmon takes a look, and the duo widen their eyes in surprise.

"Eh!?"


Meanwhile

With Ochako

"Geez, yesterday's training is insane…"

Ochako can be seen sitting on the train while hugging her bag, silently groaning at her sore muscles and bruises from Gran's exercises. It has been her daily routine to take the train to UA every day, and to be honest, she can't help but slightly feel lonely.

Then, her mind wanders to all the friends she made. To be honest, when she went to UA, she simply expected to make a few friends, given how her financial situation is and her goal to be a hero made everyone look at her in a bad light. But, she was surprised how the majority of UA students didn't look down on her because of it, but they praised her goal. It was a complete breath of fresh air for her and she didn't mind a bit.

Speaking of friends, there's one person she can't stop thinking about, Izuku Midoriya. To be honest, at first, she didn't expect much from helping one person could change everything. He had helped her so many and she couldn't help but feel like she had taken his friendship for granted, especially after the USJ.

The scene of Izuku on the ground and covered in blood still haunts her dream even now. She let out a sigh before looking at her hands and thinking to herself. How is she going to be a Rescue Hero like her favorite hero if she can't even save her friend?

She shakes her head, stopping her train of thought. She is trying to be better, it's why she agrees to be part of the Fight Club in the first place. This Haki technique Gran Torino-sensei taught everyone is meant to help everyone and she can feel it working. Her quirk's weight limit increases, her reflexes have improved, and she can even sense others despite being blind, although for a few moments. She still tries to get used to it since it only took a slight distraction to deactivate it.

Maybe she should ask Izuku for some advice, given how he's been training with Gran Torino even before school starts. She then shakes her head, dismissing the idea. It's not that she believes she can do it without help like those 'strong, independent, badass women claim to fight against misogyny', but she believes that she doesn't deserve to seek his help.

She is snapped out of her thoughts as the announcer declares that the next station will be her stop. Getting up, she walks towards the door and gets ready for another day in UA's hero course. She wonders how is everyone as they all look completely exhausted after the training.


Back with Izuku

UA High

"…." Takechi simply standing there while holding a bipedal white-scaled creature with a pair of wide yellow eyes, 3 pairs of black claws, three black-tipped horns resembling a triceratops, red-tipped spikes on its frills, a red stripe around its left wrist, a pair of black wings on its back, and a small bandanna. It wears a blue bandanna around its neck.

"Ohayo!" Gammamon says chirply and Hackmon merely waves back.

"Gammamon, huh…" Izuku mutters while pinching the bridge of his nose. He knows that the canon is officially off the rails, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

'Bad is a complete understatement…' En deadpanned.

"I woke up this morning and suddenly, I was met with his face right in front of me and him calling me big brother!" Takechi exclaims nervously. "I….had no idea what to do, so I had no choice but to ask you. I'm sorry for the trouble…"

"Don't need to apologize, you were right to seek help," Izuku says, gently patting his head. "Well, before that, may I ask if you got some sort of unusual device? Like a watch, phone, or even a toy?"

"Why a toy?" Takechi asks while tilting his head as Gammamon mimics his supposed 'big brother'. It took all of Izuku's willpower not to squeal at the adorableness, and unfortunately for him, he was hit by a high-pitched squeal from his head.

"W-well…" Izuku rubs his head, trying not to wince. "If my prediction is correct, you might get a device that is called a Digi-Vice, a unique item created either through human tech or maybe the Digital World itself that symbolizes your bond with your partner Digimon, and it also helps the Digimon to evolve."

"Huh, that sounds like the Pokay-man that's been trending when I was a kid in this world," Takechi mutters. Izuku's veins popped as he heard that name. It is a popular franchise in this world about kids catching monsters in the wild and battling others to be the very best.

Sounds familiar? It's because it's this Earth's version of Pokemon and Izuku hates it with every fibre of his being. The designs are straight-up dog water and the color palettes were very off. It was like looking at a rainbow but it consists of pink, white, brown, grey, black, and silver. It was so wrong on so many levels that it disturbed Izuku.

"…Takechi-kun, please don't ever mention that abomination right into my face, ever again. That includes you Digimons," Izuku says with a sweet smile, but the aura he radiates is anything but sweet. This made Takechi, Hackmon, and even Gammamon shiver in fear before nodding. "Anyways, you didn't answer my question."

"Oh, right. It's the watch." Takechi says before revealing a watch that reminds Izuku of Vital Bracelet BE. "Gammamon gave it to me when I decided to bring him here and put it on my wrist."

"Gammamon help aniki! I'm being a good otouto!" Gammamon says cheerfully, making the trio's heart melt.

"Yeah, you do." Izuku chuckles before looking at Takechi. "Yeah, I suggest you to keep it safe. I'm not sure how your Digi-Vice works as each model provides different functions. Mine allows me to keep Hackmon inside and can access data network while providing protections from any hackers."

"So, it allows you to hack computers?" Takechi asks as Izuku nods before his face turns sheepish.

"I still got a lot to learn before properly hacking anything with this," Izuku says. "There are too many complicated things that I need to learn and I am not a computer science expert! Heck, I am still struggling to remember all keyboard shortcuts!"

"Me too, I never hold a computer in my past life. Learning everything from scratch is troublesome." Takechi mutters as they both sigh. Both then notice Eijirou, Kaminari, and Kaibara waving at them before they wave back.

"Hey guys," Izuku says as they greet back before looking at Gammamon in Takechi's arms, making Kaminari gasp.

"Awesome, is he a new Pokay-man!?" Kaminari exclaims before Izuku's head snaps towards Kaminari. Kirishima could only facepalm, muttering something under his breath.

"Don't you ever mention that shit, ever again! Do you understand!?" Izuku exclaims as he comically grows a devil's horn, making Kaminari whimper and nod fearfully. "Good, and for your question, no. It's a Digimon named Gammamon."

"Ohayo!" Gammamon greets cheerfully.

"Digimon, like Hackmon?" Kaminari asks shakily as Izuku nods. "Um, how many are there?"

"Thousands. Could be millions," Izuku says with a shrug.

"Just like Pokay-man," Kaminari whispers under his breath.

"Don't you ever compare Digimon with that filth!" Izuku growls, making Kaminari raise his hands in surrender.

"Really, bro?" Eijirou asks with a raised eyebrow. "Did you forget how he snapped at us back then when you did that for the first time?"

"Why is he even mad anyway?" Kaminari asks while grumbling.

"Given how much better Digimon's appearance compares to Pokay-man, it sounds like you insult his partner by comparing them," Kaibara says.

"Overprotective much?" Kaminari grumbles.

"It's like protecting his friends from any insults on their appearance, I say it's a manly thing!" Eijirou says. The five of them were greeted by a limo stopping in front of the UA Gate as a familiar wolf butler walked out of the car to open the door for Yaomomo and let her out.

"… still can't believe she's that rich…" Kaibara mutters.

"Just how rich is she?" Takechi mutters as Gammamon plays with Hackmon's tail, much to the poor mon's grimace.

"Yes," Izuku says in a flat tone.

"Oh come on!" They all turn to their left to see Hanzo looking at Gammamon in exasperation. "You too!?!"

"…." Izuku could only facepalm before letting out a hearty laugh, followed up with an indignant squawk from Hanzo while Takechi and the rest were confused at what was going on.


Later

Class 1-A

"Good morning, kids." Hound Dog greets as the entire class greets him cheerfully, except for Bakugou, Todoroki, and Harumi. "Today, we'll be having a special class, a rescue training."

Izuku and Hanzo blink, not expecting another one given the fiasco that happened last Friday. It seems that some students share the same concern as they all raise their hands.

"Sir, is it a good idea, given that we were just attacked last week?" Iida asks.

"I know why you are skeptical, but you have nothing to worry about." Hound Dog stated. "Not only do we make sure to increase the security, we also choose a different location for this training. We need to make sure you all learn how to do a proper rescue. Heroic is more than just beating up the villains." Hound Dog glares at Bakugou when he hears the boy scoffs.

"Besides, if you plan to get your provisional hero license, you will have to pass the rescue section of the provisional exam as well." Hound Dog says. "For this exercise, you all will be put in a different scenario. Like All Might's previous exercise, you all will be divided into groups, and in each exercise, each group will play a role, civilians or rescuers. But, unlike All Might's, the group could be chosen to play a different role."

'This scenario seems familiar...where did I hear this from?' Izuku muses.

"Sir? How are we going to be grouped for this exercise?" Iida asks while raising his hand.

"You all will be selected by random, of course." Hound Dog stated. "And unlike before, the group will be divided unevenly, so expect yourself to be in a scenario where there are 16 civilians in need of rescue and only 4 heroes are available."

A loud record scratch can be heard at the back of both Isekaid boys' heads as they both blink once, twice, thrice before widening their eyes. Izuku can't help but be surprised by this. The premise of the exercise and that scenario are the exact plot and scene of the rescue training exercise OVA! Izuku can't help but give himself a mental facepalm. Why did he dismiss the OVA entirely!? He thought that it might never happen, and now he's biting the dust.

'Kid, you're overreacting. If your memories are correct, the OVA is a harmless chapter that fills the gap between seasons, ain't it?' Shinomori states before Izuku gives him a mental nod. 'Then, stop worrying about it.'

'It's a completely different matter, Shinomori-san…' Izuku replied. 'The problem is that….it shows how much my foresight is lacking…. I…I didn't think that it might happen, I casually dismissed it. I…. I just didn't give it a second thought….'

'You beat yourself too hard, kid.' Nana says gently. 'When it comes to things like this, we tend to…. overlook it. It's not only you who has ever done such things, so please don't beat yourself for it.'

'…what if I overlook the important things?' Izuku thought. 'I did that with USJ…I could've tried to warn Toshinori after I revealed things, but…'

'You forgot that after everything that has happened, you don't have the right mental state to recall everything. Humans aren't perfect, and so are you.' Nana says as Izuku doesn't answer, thinking of what she said.

'I….suppose…it sounds like an excuse though,' Izuku replied.

'It does, but it's the truth, ' Nana said, as Izuku let out a sigh. Izuku snapped out of his thoughts as everyone happily discussed the team.

"Awesome! We finally get to do a proper rescue exercise!" Kaminari says excitedly.

"Yeah! Let us do our best!" EIjirou exclaims.

"Iida-kun, Tsuyu-chan, Izu-kun, let us do our best and crush this exercise!" Ochako exclaims a bit too cheerfully, given the dark aura she's emitting as Iida nods curtly, cold sweats falling from his head.

"Yeah, kero..." Tsuyu says with a sweatdrop at the back of her head.

"Of course," Izuku replies with a grin, trying to hide his thoughts.

"A rescue exercise, huh...I wonder how it will differ from our previous battle exercise, besides the obvious of course..." Yaomomo mutters while pondering.

"Let us excel in this exercise, Hasashi," Tokoyami says to Hanzo.

"Of course, it's UA, so we got to go Plus Ultra," Hanzo exclaims as Tokoyami blinks.

"Did something happen? Because I can feel the light radiate from you." Tokoyami points out.

"Well, yeah," Hanzo says with a smile. "I was having too much thought back then and stressing out. Turns out, talking about my problems could help."

"I see, I am glad you managed to get the help you need," Tokoyami says as Hanzo nods. Seeing Hanzo interact properly made Izuku happy for him, the poor boy was in a complete mess, with the guilt of Lady Nagant disappearing, his vigilante history, and the massive changes that happened over time.

"Grr…." Izuku turns towards the source of the growl to see Bakugou glaring at him, fire comically coming out of his eyes. " I won't lose to you again, Deku!"

"…." Izuku made a blank face before he turned back, ignoring Bakugou. This made Bakugou triggered even more. Ever since the talk, Bakugou finally noticed how serious Deku was about what he said. On one hand, Bakugou was happy that the useless Deku finally left him alone, but on the other hand, it felt wrong. The constant praises, the respect, people attempting to kiss his ass, there's nothing like that in UA. Everyone chooses to ignore him and starts to gather around Deku like moths toward the flame, and it pisses him off.

'I'll fucking make you pay, Deku. Just wait for the Sports Festival, I'll crush you in front of everyone!' Bakugou growls under his breath as he continuously glares a hole at the back of Izuku's head.

"Well, this is quite a breath of fresh air. Don't you think so, Koda-kun?" Tooru asks Koda as he nods in agreement. Izuku can't help but notice that he seems to be more excited than usual, but given his goal of being a hero, it's easy to see why.

"Well, let's just hope that we will never be in the same team as that guy…" Sero sweatdrops while glancing at Bakugou, who's too busy glaring at Izuku, like Izuku had just killed his Chihuahua.

"Oh, yeah…I forgot that douche was with us as well." Tooru deadpanned. Unfortunately, she was loud enough for Bakugou to hear as Bakugou let out an explosion from his palm, glaring at her.

"What was that-!?" Bakugou was stopped by Hound Dog slamming a book with a thick layer, growling at Bakugou under his muzzle.

"Bakugou, this is strike 2." Bakugou stiffens before looking away. Izuku raises his eyebrow when he hears that, what does he mean by strike 2? "Detention, for an additional month."

"What!?!" Bakugou yells.

"Want me to double it?" Bakugou said nothing, but Izuku could see that he was seething.

"Also, Hagakure, please refrain from mocking other students. Since it's your first offense, I'll let it slide for once." Hound Dog states as Hagakure nods shyly. "I want you all to remember that the school has a zero-bullying policy and fighting is prohibited unless it's training. So, understand that if I want you all to avoid any of those, and those who did their first offense before, you got it scot-free, for now. Understand?"

"Y-yes!" They all exclaimed. Izuku thinks that it is fair as he was too angry and didn't think straight when he slugged Bakugou's face.

It's satisfying, though.

'Kid, you let your intrusive thought take over again,' Izuku held his flinch with all of his willpower and tried to control himself from blushing in embarrassment. Then, he remembered one particular detail about the OVA and decided to ask.

"Sir, may I ask if there is going to be a fake villain attack attempting to sabotage our rescue training?" Izuku asks as Hanzo tries not to snort at the question, Bakugou perks up and grins savagely, Todoroki seems intrigued, while everyone is a bit skeptical.

"What!? No! That kind of training will be in later years! It's too advanced for any of you!" Hound Dog exclaims incredulously. "Besides, we're not that heartless to make such an event after USJ!"

This made everyone let out a sigh of relief while Bakugou and Todoroki seemed disappointed.

'I guess it's not a full OVA, just similar to it,' Izuku thought.

'Maybe it's because your homeroom teacher has changed that the event is also different,' Yoichi suggests.

'I suppose…'

To be continued
