LydiaCrazzy: Bitch, stop spamming those 'commission fees' to every fic you found and get yourself a new life. No one here is wasting their money to 'make their story more engaging for the audience', most did this just for fun. You're wasting your time here desperately seeking money on this site.
Issei: First of all, chill. Second, what do you mean 'because of that oppai'!??!
Mr. BrownOptometrist: Thanks!
A/N: This will be a bunch of short stories that happen between the Arc 4 and the future Arc 5. It will be like Omake, but it is still canon to the fic.
Short Story 1: How to Help Your Friends Improved
As the unofficial Izu-Squad eating together, Izuku, who switch his hairstyle to undercut, can be seen scribbling something while looking at the phone. He is looking through list after list of chemistry topics while trying to remember his past life's knowledge. He wishes to help Yaomomo improve more by using his knowledge of comic book fiction.
Currently, Izuku is trying something that could give Yaomomo a new set of arsenals. He is trying to sketch a molecular structure of Spiderman's web fluid, and he remembers that the formula consists of salicylic acid, toluene, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, potassium chloride, and ethyl acetate. Izuku wasn't surprised that it was much easier said than done since Izuku has remained stuck in the beginning phase and he even used this week's chemistry lessons to attempt to test only for it to blow up on his face.
Izuku can't help but curses himself, wondering how those self-inserts did all of these bullshits. For whatever reason, the body they inhabited got to be a genius who grants them the ability to pull comic-book bullshit out of their asses. Too bad Izuku didn't get that exact luxury. He wasn't dumb, but he isn't a genius who will get the Nobel Prize. It didn't help that Chemistry is one of his weakest subjects.
"Midoriya-san," Izuku blinks before looking at Yaomomo who gives a concerned look. "Is something wrong? You seem distressed."
"Ah….i-it's nothing much…" Izuku mutters while continuing to rub his head, constantly trying to recreate the exact formula but to no avail.
"From your expression, it is not nothing." Yaomomo points out as Izuku merely grunts. Then, out of nowhere, Kaminari took a peek at the book before a loud hiss came out of his head and he went back in his seat.
"Kaminari, something wrong?" Iida expresses his concern to his classmate.
"I see hell…" Kaminari mutters in horror. Yaomomo raised her eyebrow before she decided to take a look at the page before frowning.
"That….is one weird and yet complex formula," Yaomomo mutters, startling Izuku as he is too distracted and annoyed by the failed attempt to replicate to notice it. "What exactly are you trying to do, Midoriya-san?"
"….fine, I was trying to create a chemical formula of a synthetic spider silk fluid," Izuku explains, making Yaomomo blink. "But, all it was a theory. Every attempt I try to do always end up in failure."
"Is…that why you've always been covered in the colorless and harmless liquid around your hair?" Yaomomo says as Izuku's face turns red before looking away and nodding hesitantly. "Oh, dear…"
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up." Izuku groans before he collapses onto the table. Eijirou, who sits next to Izuku, pats his back soothingly in sympathy, only for Izuku to let out a muffled groan.
"Take it easy, Izu-kun," Ochako says while petting his shoulder gently.
"May I take a look at it once more?" Yaomomo asks nicely as Izuku pauses before looking at her. He then ponders a bit before shrugging and giving his book and pen to her.
"Sure, you probably had better luck than me." Izuku mutters as Yaomomo takes a look at it. Not long after, she frowned before squinting her eyes. After a moment, she perked up before she started writing down something in the book.
"Oooh, Yaomomo's got it!" Tooru exclaims excitedly as Yaomomo places the pen gently and gives it to Izuku. Izuku blinked before he reread the entire thing.
"It seems that there are a few mistakes in your formula, but other than that, you're already on the right path," Yaomomo exclaims as Izuku grabs the book.
"Um….wow…" Izuku says in awe.
"By the way, what do you need this for?" Yaomomo asks in confusion. "I could've sworn that we never got any assignments nor do we have any projects regarding such topics."
"Oh, no, no. This isn't for an assignment," Izuku shakes his head. "It's…actually something I try to figure out so I….could help you."
"….what?" Yaomomo did a double-take as she wasn't expecting such answers.
"Y-you see…I wanted to help you guys after hearing what you guys said when you visited me in the infirmary." Izuku says. "So….I was thinking that maybe I could help you guys get stronger by providing methods of how to use your quirk. I….try to complete this formula so I can finally able to properly construct the molecular structure of this chemical. But, apparently, I…wasn't able to make any proper progress. So…" Izuku didn't finish his sentence before ripping the page of his note and giving the piece of paper to her, who accepted it without a word.
"I….t-thank you," Yaomomo says with a warm smile. "This….this will be a great help. Spider silks are known for a very high tensile strength and ductility, this will be a perfect way to immobilize targets."
"Y-yeah, that's one of the reasons why I try to figure out the formula," Izuku says. "No offense, but I…can't help but notice how limited you are in your arsenal despite having the most versatile quirk in our class. And your arsenal didn't include a method of capture, so…."
"I understand. Once again, thank you." Yaomomo says with a smile.
"Wait, you said that you had a way to help us, right?" Kaminari decided to budge in before he was lightly elbowed by Tsuyu, earning a confused and pained yelp from Kaminari.
"Oh, um, yeah," Izuku says before looking through his notebook. "Kaminari, have you ever tried to use your electricity to stimulate your muscles for higher strength performance? You can…" Izuku starts to mutter as Kaminari looks at Izuku blankly, steams coming out of his ears before he collapses to his seat, snapping Izuku out and causing him to panic. This made everyone at the table laugh.
End of Short Story 1
Short Story 2: Joint Class - Sparring
"Aniki, good luck!" Takechi can hear Gammamon cheering up for him at the side of the battlefield, earning a squeal from the girls of his class. Takechi is still unsure how to deal with all of this. First of all, Gammamon is a stranger to him. Sure, he is cute, but he has no idea about his partner. It didn't help that the flying triceratops kept calling him Aniki, he had no idea how to stop Gammamon from calling him Aniki. It didn't help that he was too nice, not wanting to break Gammamon's heart.
Takechi shakes his head before focusing on his current situation. Right now, he's finally able to face Izuku Midoriya, the boy who got first in the Entrance Exam. Also, he's a reincarnated human like him, so he is curious about what makes him different from him besides his strength. Takechi looks at Izuku before his eyes glow pink as a pair of sakura flower motifs glow from his eyes.
Takechi's Quirk is Reinforced, an ability to reinforce his physical ability in any way possible. He can choose to 'reinforce' his strength, agility, durability, etc, and every time it activates, sakura flower motifs will appear in his eyes. The weakness of his quirk is that he is required to stockpile calories to reinforce his physical performance, which makes him easily hungry every time he finishes training. Also, he had a habit of eating snacks without noticing, his body instinctively tries to replenish his stamina.
"Win this fight, Izu!" Hackmon exclaims as he cheers beside Gammamon. Izuku could only chuckle before taking a stance.
"Ready?" Izuku says with a grin.
"Of course!" Takechi says with a smile.
"Beat that class 1-A scum and shows our class' superiority, Takechi-Gakh!" Monoma was knocked out in the background by Awase.
"All right, boys. Don't go overboard during this spar, and no Haki, do I make myself clear?" Kendo, who decided to be the referee, exclaims as they both nod. "Okay, begin!"
Without wasting any time, Takechi rushes towards Izuku and goes for a straight jab, but Izuku moves away as his body is covered in electricity before trying to counter with an uppercut. Takechi sees this and immediately takes a step back, but Izuku isn't finishing as he turns and tries to deliver a kick. Takechi widens his eyes before he barely moves his head away. The kick alone was so fast that the wind generated by it scratched his cheek, drawing first blood. Takechi jumps back multiple times before touching his cheek.
'Okay, clearly I underestimate him.' Takechi thought before he 'reinforced' his strength and agility before charging at him at a faster speed. Izuku widens his eyes slightly before he blocks the incoming punch toward his chest, Takechi follows up with an attempted knee kick, but Izuku blocks it with his hands. Takechi attempts to continue his assault, but Izuku pushes him back, almost causing Takechi to lose his footing. As Takechi tries to regain his footing, Izuku suddenly makes a flicking gesture with his hand and points it at Takechi.
Boom!
"Gakh!" Takechi yelps as a powerful blast of wind hits his head. It wasn't enough to injure him, but it was enough to knock him out of the ring. The majority of Class 1-A cheered while those from Class 1-B let out a groan, with some giving money to Kaminari, Eijirou, and Sero. Izuku notices this could only give them a deadpan stare.
"Oh, come on!" A girl with a long dark green hair exclaims loudly. "Where's the flashiness? Why do you finish the fight so quickly!?"
"Setsuna, this fight wasn't meant to be flashy." Ryo Inui decided to speak up. "The main goal of this exercise is to see who can knock their opponent the quickest. Unlike the majority of how media portray heroes and villains fight, you were meant to quickly subdue your opponent to prevent more casualties."
"Indeed! Young Midoriya has perfectly executed how to remain defensive and subdued their opponent in a quick method." All Might exclaims before wincing. "Though, perhaps you should refrain from targeting people's heads. We're meant to subdue them, not send them to the emergency room."
"A-ah, understood," Izuku says as his face turns red in embarrassment while the entire class chuckles good-naturedly. Izuku shakes off his embarrassment before approaching Takechi and lending him a helping hand. Takechi stares at him for a moment before accepting with a light chuckle.
"You're really good, Midoriya-san," Takechi says with a smile.
"Thanks, you're good too," Izuku says with a smile. "Perhaps, you might want to tone down with charging in too much. Maybe try with another strategy."
"I-I suppose," Takechi says while slightly flustered before extending his fist. "W-well, next time, I won't lose, Midoriya-san! Let us fight again in the Sports Festival!"
"Well, I'll be waiting," Izuku says with a grin before bumping his fist into Takechi's. Kendo smiled before looking at Monoma with a blank look.
"Now, you see how a proper rivalry acts," Kendo stated as Monoma looked at their interaction, his expression turned baffled.
"Takechi, what are you-!?" Monoma once again got knocked out but this time by Kendo, who let out a sigh. The boys blink before looking at where Monoma was.
"Don't worry about it, boys. I had taken care of the trash." Kendo says as Izuku puffs up his cheeks before looking away, his entire body shaking while Takechi gives Izuku a disapproving stare, but the edge of his lips twitching upwards.
"All right, next student will be Eijirou Kirishima and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu…." Hound Dog trails off before muttering something under his breath.
"Hey, look. Twin!" A girl with blond hair and a pair of horns exclaims loudly. Izuku let out a snicker when he heard that while the duo let out a groan.
End of Short Story 2
Short Story 3: Movie Time with (Unofficial) Izu-Squad
"Remind me….what are we supposed to watch again?" Izuku mutters as he looks at the list of movies displayed as posters on the wall. He and the rest of his (unofficial) squad decided to go to the movie theatre to relax after 2 weeks of training for the Sports Festival, and Yaomomo had pre-ordered the ticket online before inviting everyone to the movie theatre.
"We're going to watch the Adventure of All Might 10: Battle in Space!" Ochako exclaims as she holds a huge bucket of popcorn in her arms as Yaomomo and Iida pay for the popcorn (Everyone had insisted that they would pay for their meal and ticket, but they didn't seem to listen). She made sure to use her quirk to reduce the weight, not that anyone seems to notice about it.
"….." Izuku merely looks at Ochako with an 'Are you kidding me?' expression. Ever since Izuku got his past life memories, his obsessions towards All Might have dwindled to almost none. Sure, he still buys his merch and admires him, but it's more out of his actions, humanity, and personality instead of an obsession to become like him. His memories made him realize that acting like that only made him look like an obsessed creep instead of acting like a fan idolizing his idols.
Also, he had watched the Adventure of All Might series since he was a kid, and by the gods, it was god awful. Back then, he simply watched it because All Might is the main character in all of the movies. But, after looking back into things, the movie is an insult to cinema. There's no plot other than All Might saving people and beating bad guys. There are no character traits for any of the characters in the movie. The inconsistency is baffling and there's no trace of continuity nod in any of the sequels, like each movie wasn't supposed to be sequels. There's so much wrong in the movie and its sequels that it'll take him a week to list all of them!
Not that he had any rights to say given that he also wrote shitty fanfictions when he was bored, or making a lazily-drawn comic. God, he truly didn't wish to talk about the comics. They were god-awful and he is ashamed of it. Thank god he burned them all.
"….can we just watch something else?" Izuku mutters under his breath while sneakily looking at Gojiro vs King Ghodirah's poster. It has been a while since he watched a kaiju movie like it has been 15 years. He misses them so much and he needs to watch one. The star is Gojiro himself, who was from Japan but moved to the United States due to a movie contract. The movie studio wants to re-introduce the Kaiju movies to the West since it was lost and forgotten after the Dark Era of Quirk.
For this movie, he returned back to Japan and collaborated with Japan's movie studio to make this movie. So, yeah, the hype caused by the movie made Izuku curious and want to watch more than another cash-grab sequel, and another thing, it was mentioned that King Ghodirah was starred by Gojiro's unknown nephew, something that caught Izuku so off guard.
"Come on, Izu-bro!" Eijirou exclaims while wrapping his arm around Izuku's neck. "All of us agreed we're going to watch the movie together, remember? Don't tell me you're gonna back down."
"I regret ever agreeing," Izuku grumbles.
"Well, even so, Yaomomo had bought the ticket for all of us!" Tooru exclaims as Izuku lets out a sigh and slumps down. "What's wrong? You don't seem excited."
"Nothing…just awaiting the impending doom coming from a cash-grabbing sequel," Izuku says dramatically.
"Midoriya, please refrain from insulting a director's hard work!" Iida exclaims.
"I wouldn't do it if it wasn't true," Izuku says in a disappointed tone.
"It….can't be that bad, right?" Yaomomo says as Izuku merely gives her a blank expression. "Right?"
"You guys had nothing to worry about!" Awase exclaims. "I watched the first movie and it wasn't that bad!"
"….." Izuku merely stares at him blankly before letting out a sigh.
"… Why do I have a feeling that Awase had doomed us all?" Kaibara asked as Awase glared at his classmate.
--One Movie Later--
Everyone walks out of the movie with nothing but a sheer disappointment on their face. Izuku had clearly warned them that the movie was nothing but a cash grab, yet none of them heeded his call. Now, they had to pay the price and Izuku had to suffer along with them.
"… Wow, it's bad," Hanzo says in an emotionless tone.
"….That's a movie? It's so bad." Takechi points out in a blank expression.
"My god….how could it be worse…." Izuku mutters as he holds his head in sheer disbelief. "How in the world did they fuck it up so badly…..I thought the 9th one is the worst…..oh, no, they exceed their expectation….in the wrong way!"
"….guys, I think we broke him," Eijirou whispers to the rest of the squad. Koda could only nod at the scene, he does think it was bad.
"I am not familiar with cinematography, but even I find the movie bad. None of them were making any sense, even by science fiction logic!" Miles exclaims in utter disbelief.
"Sorry…" Awase mutters as he lowers his head, completely defeated. Kaibara merely shakes his head while Tetsutetsu pats his back.
"It's okay, bro. No one expects the sequel to be that bad." Tetsutetsu tries to cheer his friend up.
"Midoriya had warned us multiple times, yet none of us listened." Kaibara comments, making Awase slumps down.
"Not helping, bro!" Tetsutetsu exclaims while glaring at Kaibara.
"Wasn't planning to." Kaibara shrugs.
"I wish I could've just watched Gojiro vs King Ghodiroh instead," Izuku says while pouting. Hanzo merely nods in agreement.
"You mean that weird movie about giant monster fighting? I don't see the appeal about it." Kaminari off-handedly said, causing Izuku and Hanzo to halt before looking at Kaminari like he had just said something blasphemy. "What?"
"H-how dare you…" Izuku begins.
"Said such blasphemy…" Hanzo continues. Kaminari didn't know why, but he started to sweat profusely as both boys approached the yellow-haired boy before starting to scream about the greatness of Kaiju Films and all the other stuff. The others wisely choose to step away from this, refusing to assist Kaminari.
Ever since then, no one has been willing to badmouth Kaiju movies whenever they're available.
End of Short Story 3
Short Story 4: Hanzo Finally Did It!
Izuku can be seen sleeping on his bed with Hackmon cuddling on top of him, both boys were covered in a warm blanket. From what it seems, it doesn't look like anything is going to ruin their sleep.
RING!!!!
Izuku groaned before he gently placed his partner on his bed and picked up his phone, squinting his eyes to see Hanzo was calling him. Getting up, he answers the call while curiously wondering why Hanzo calls him in the middle of the night. The only reason he could think of is that Hanzo might discover something vital for the future. His sleepy state couldn't think of any other logical explanation.
"Hanzo, what is it?" Izuku asks tiredly, letting out a yawn as he rubs his eyes.
"Midoriya…..I did it…." Izuku looks at his phone in utter confusion. Why does Hanzo sound so ominous? And what does he mean by he did it? He lacks so much context that he is unsure how to react.
"Um, you did what exactly? I have zero clue what you're talking about…." Izuku says while letting out a yawn.
"I did it….I finally fucking did it!" Izuku is startled by the sudden excitement from Hanzo and it makes him concerned. What in the world is going on!?
"Bro, you okay? Did you mistake MSG with another white powder? Because all I can hear right now is how high you are." Izuku asks in a deadpan manner, now completely annoyed by his fellow reincarnated fellow. The statement was enough to snap Hanzo out of his excitement as he cleared his throat.
"Okay, first of all, I do not consume drugs in any form." Izuku feels his vein bulge out of his forehead before clenching his phone.
"Just get to the point! Not everyone is a night owl!" Izuku hissed in annoyance.
"Okay, okay! I….I finally did it….I got myself a Digimon partner! Falcomon! Come on, come and greet my fellow Digimon Tamers!" Izuku's eyes twitch violently as he tries so hard not to apply pressure on his phone.
"Greetings, Tamer. My name is Falcomon, and I am pleased to meet my partner's friends." Falcomon greets politely as Izuku takes a deep breath before smiling sweetly.
"Hi~," Izuku says in an eerily sweet tone and Izuku takes the pleasure of hearing Falcomon squeak in fear. "Nice to meet you. I would like to introduce my partner, but as you can see, it is very late. Now, let me talk to your partner, okay?" Izuku takes a moment of silence as he hears Hanzo's chattering teeth on the other side of the phone.
"H-hey, Midoriya…" Hanzo stutters.
"Hi…..now that it's over, can you do me a fucking favor?" Izuku asks sweetly. "If you ever call me this late for something like this once more, I swear to gods and every omnipotent being ever born in this very existence that I will tear open your gut, use your intestine to choke the living shit out of you, cuts off your genitals, shoved it to your throat, drop your body in a pool of gasoline before burning the living hell out of you. Got it? Now, go to fucking sleep, because we got to school in less than 6 hours and I would like to get as much sleep as possible!"
Without waiting for Hanzo's response, Izuku hung up the call before letting out a sigh and collapsing into his bed, staring at the ceiling with a dead expression. He then hears Hackmon getting up, his expression looks half asleep before he faces Izuku.
"Izu? What is going on? Who called you?" Hackmon asks in a soft tone as Izuku looks slightly guilty for waking up his partner. He may be annoyed by his friend calling him at 2 in the morning, but that doesn't excuse him for losing his temper and waking his partner after intense training yesterday.
"Nothing, Hackmon. Just some idiot calling me. Go back to sleep, Hack…" Izuku says gently as Hackmon puts down his head next to Izuku. Izuku caresses his head to help him go back to sleep.
"Good night, Izu…" Hackmon mutters before licking his nose. Izuku blinks before softly chuckling as he watches Hackmon go back to sleep.
"Good night, Hack…" Izuku whispers before closing his eyes. "Sweet dream."
