Chapter 4: Harrison Gordon Girl
Psy-Kick:Perfect chapter!
Besto Brother is here, awesome :D
So the JJK story happened here? Well not exactly the same but you know what I mean, right?
Ant: The JJK story KINDA happens (I'm still working it out) and results in Todo being the only one left.
3headed-dragon: Okay so many things I loved about this chapter. First I love that Todo is here and became Izuku's trainer and sworn brother, not only that but Todo actually taught Izuku how to fight and how to use a weapon. I understand that in canon Allmight was focused on making sure that Izuku's body was able to hold OFA, but you can't honestly say that combat training isn't also a form of exercise. If we're all being honest Izuku was trying to be Allmight and Allmight was trying to turn Izuku into him. I mean come on, I know this was Allmight's first time being a teacher but how many times can you watch your student hurt themselves before you say "Okay, maybe it's time to try something else."
As far as the pairing goes, you've said that it's already decided and that you don't do harems, which is of course fine. I hope the pairing is with Kyoka seeing as there really aren't too many good stories involving her as the main girl. Not to mention you did have Izuku learn to play a guitar so they can bond over music, she's also heard Izuku say he doesn't really care about large breasts which she probably believes all boys care about.
I don't know if you plan on pairing Izuku with Kyoka or Ochako, but I would like to point out that canon wise Ochako was willing to put aside her feelings for Izuku in order to focus on being a hero. Kyoka on the other hand I feel like wouldn't turn down a guy that showed genuine interest in her.
Anyway keep up the great work.
Ant: Ian gon say to much because the way I have it planned works best but I will say that, much like real relationship, people change and how people feel change.
Guest: :Pairing still up in the air? I say Izuocha. Despite what others may say about how vanilla it is, but Ochako was able to turn 'Deku' from a personal slur into something positive for Izuku, and it definitely showed at latest release in the manga.
Ant: I fs hear ya logic but you're gonna have tah wait and see where I take the pairings twin
PolarisXYZ:Is Izuku's hair white or green, cause you keep saying greenette, but in the first chapter he had white eyelashes, which would imply his hair is also white
Ant: I'm ngl... I forgot about his hair WORD IS BONDDDD but aye js know that when I say "greenette" what I really mean is green hair with white tips. Fun fact the more he uses six eyes the more white his hair gets and the more he uses his ten shadows the darker his hair gets.
With allat said I jus wanna let y'all know that I Luh the reviews like I will deadass say "Ian writin" then get a really well written review and all of ah sudden it's 2:40am and I got track practice tmrw (made states btw) but I'm up writing MHA FanFiction. Luv y'all tho word is bond.
y'all better enjoy this shit wrda my mother cuz if not then I real life might have to start swinging on Mfs now say it w me
WORD IS BOOONNDDDD
"Release!" Once the brunette touched her fingertips together, Izuku felt gravity return to his muscled body, sending him to the ground. Before he could collide with the concrete below, Izuku stuck his hand out under him, balancing his body weight on his fingertips before gently setting himself down with practiced grace.
Before the other examinees could blink, Izuku made a mad dash at the brunette, throwing the large piece of debris off of her form before running his hands along her waist, legs, and ankles.
"Although the debris rendered her immobile, judging by the range of mobility in her legs and ankles she hasn't dislocated or broken anything. Although, there is considerable swelling in her ankle and the area surrounding her superior-inferior iliac spine. It could be nothing but there is the chance that a piece of muscle surrounding the bone pulled a piece of it off during the initial collision so it'd be best if someone more qualified checked to make sure." The teen brushed away strands of green white and black from his face before taking hold of the brunette's right leg.
"I need you to tell me if it hurts when I move this leg ok?"
"O-Ok" With a nod to punctuate her words, Izuku pushed the brunette's knee towards her chest, shooting her a soft, concerned, look so as to nonverbally ask if she was experiencing any pain.
With a shake of her head, Izuku sighed in relief before standing, extending his hand toward the girl he'd just saved.
"Your ankle is sprained, it's best you avoid walking on it for a while." The round-faced girl looked at his hand for a bit, a contemplating look on her face, before accepting his hand.
Izuku cast a short glance at the girl's palm, noticing the cat-like pads on her fingertips that felt surprisingly soft against his calloused palms.
"More likely than not these are the pads that activate and deactivate her quirk. If I had to guess I'd say that she needs to make contact with all five on one or both hands to activate her quirk and touch all ten together to remove its effects. I wonder if there's a weight limit and if so, could it be improved upon? Do the objects she's touched retain their mass? Or do they lose it in tandem with their mass?" Izuku's brain rambled on as he scooped the brunette onto his back and made his way to the nurse's office they'd been instructed to go to via pamphlet.
"I a-appreciate your help" Izuku cast a short glance toward the brunette on his back, taking notice of her flushed face and nervous gaze.
Then it hit him.
He was carrying a girl. After grabbing her legs. And after grabbing her waist.
There was no way he was living this down.
"N-No p-problem!" His posture suddenly stiffened causing his white-tipped hair to struggle against its tie.
For the rest of the walk, the two stayed in awkward silence, trading short glances at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking.
"Are you alright young lady?" The school nurse, known professionally as Recovery Girl, walked over toward a bed, motioning the greenette to set his fellow examinee down so she could receive treatment.
Following her nonverbal instructions, Izuku gingerly set the brunette on the bed, taking extra care to not move her ankle too much.
"I-I looked h-her over before I brought h-her and she looked f-fine" Recovery girl gave the boy a nod before turning toward the brunette and checking for any injuries the boy might have missed.
"Thank you for your help today Sonny, I hope to see you enrolled here real soon!"The elderly hero gave the boy a toothy grin alongside a kiss and a few gummies.
"You're always welcome" His smile was warm, the boy genuinely happy to have helped.
With a wave of his hand, Izuku turned on his heel and began to walk toward the exit.
Until a voice called out to him.
"Wait!" The boy immediately stopped dead in his tracks yet refused to turn around.
Mainly because he was berating himself in his mind
"Why did she tell me to stop? Is she upset that I touched her? But I was only making sure she wasn't hurt after saving me. Wait, did I ever thank her for saving me? Is that why she's upset? She's right I totally should have thanked her, what was I thinking? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" With every passing thought, Izuku began to tremble until he was practically vibrating where he stood.
That was until Ochako spoke, breaking his negative train of thought.
"I-I'm not mad at you! I just wanted to say thank you for saving me! I...I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't turned to destroy that robot." Her fingers wrapped around the sheets of her bed, frustration present on her face.
"I got sloppy n messed up, if he wasn't there to cover me then I would've ended up dead for sure." Her grip on the bed sheets tightened until her knuckles turned white, her teeth grinding together slightly.
"I have ta get stronger. How am I sposed to save anyone when I can't even beat a robot?" It was now the brunette's turn to engage in self-depreciation as she mentally chided herself for her weakness.
Izuku finally turned to face the girl he'd saved and immediately noticed the look of self-hatred that painted her features.
It was the same look he'd worn for so long.
Taking a few steps, the white-tipped boy kneeled at the side of the brunette's hospital bed and cupped the girl's chin, forcing her to look him in his sky-blue eyes.
"You saved me just as much as I saved you so don't let anyone, even yourself, take that from you." The brunette could only dumbly nod as her face flushed tomato red.
A warm smile washed over the greenettes face as he stood and turned to walk away once more.
Completely ignoring the fact that he just touched a girl's face...
His therapist was going to have a field day with him.
"Who knew my favorite patient was so smooth?"
"Bite me!"
Izuku was in a trance for the week before his test results. Despite his mother, brother, and therapist reassuring him his performance was more than enough to get into the prestigious high school the boy still had little self-confidence in himself.
"What if I miscounted the number of points I got? Despite the comprehensive guide on how they scored, they never gave us a concrete number on how many points we needed to pass the exam. There were numerous examinees who scored points higher than myself and with such a low acceptance rate there's no real guarantee that I get in, not to mention the various testing zones. Is there a maximum number of students allowed for acceptance regardless of points acquired?"
"Midoriya, stop mumbling" The annoyed voice snapped him out of his musings as a blush crept upon his face.
Normally, a chorus of giggles would follow alongside a potentially vicious beating from his former childhood friend, but neither followed. Instead, his classmates just stared at him while muttering amongst themselves.
"He took the exam?"
"I heard from one of my friends who took it that he was there, said he has a brother too"
"A brother? He never said anything about him before"
"Did he pass the test with only a visionary quirk?"
"No clue, but I heard there was a combat portion so it's unlikely"
Meanwhile, Izuku put his head down, tapping his foot and humming alongside a song in an attempt to calm himself down.
"Deku"
"Why me?"
Izuku ignored the boy, instead, opting to hum his song a little louder in hopes of turning the boy away while drowning out the voices of his classmates.
It didn't work.
"Don't. Ignore. Me." Narrowing his eyes, Katsuki raised his left arm to the sky, ready to bring it down on the boy whom he'd thought of as nothing but a pebble for his entire life.
Until a strong force yanked his supporting left leg out from him, sending him crashing into the ground. Katsuki turned his head toward his left leg in hopes of identifying the perpetrator but found only faint, shadow-like, whisps. The ash blonde growled before quickly shooting to his feet and letting off a few explosions to hush his giggling classmates.
Katsuki shot his hand out, ready to grab his blue-eyed classmate by his white-tipped hair until his teacher stopped him.
"Bakugou, give it a rest. The school year is damn near over and it'd be better for all of us if I didn't have to do any more paperwork than I need to" The blonde began to shake in anger but followed his instructor's advice, retracting his hand.
He'd just have to kill Izuku IF the nerd got into UA.
IF.
"You stood up to him physically?" Dr. McKnight stared at his patient with a baffled expression, unable to believe the mild-mannered Izuku he'd come to know had stood up to the bully that'd made his life hell for the longest time.
"Y-Yeah...it was kinda f-freeing, to be honest," Izuku began to blush as he rubbed the fur of one half of his Divine Dogs.
Dr. McKnight gave his patient a warm smile as he scratched the other half of the twin dogs behind its snow-white ears.
"I'd bet. Now technically, as you're therapist, I'm supposed to dissuade you from any sort of physical altercation," He let the sentence hang in the air for a while as he continued to scratch the massive dog beside him.
Izuku, sensing there was more to the thought, prodded the dark-skinned man.
"But?"
"...Buuuttt, as Anthony, I say sock him in the mouth next time he tries to punk you"
The two exchanged wide grins.
"I-Izu! It's finally here, your letter!" The exceptionally tall woman clambered up the stairs and into her youngest son's room.
"Hey, Mom" Two voices spoke out lazily, engrossed in their current activity.
Her eldest and youngest son were huddled in front of a TV, watching an attractive idol sing her heart out on stage.
"I just don't see the appeal in Idol girls. Sorry bro" Izuku turned away from the pitch-black dog he'd been rubbing to scratch the bird perched on his swivel chair behind the ears.
Todo remained focused on scratching the snow-white dog in his lap as he gave his response.
"It's because you care too much about the music and too little about the people behind the music" Aoi argued.
The debate continued like this back and forth for a while until Inko finally decided to bring their attention to more pressing matters.
"IZU. LETTER. UA." The two immediately forgot about their conversation and clambered toward their mother in hopes of seeing the letter.
Once Izuku had gotten the letter from his mother, he quickly shooed her and his elder brother out of the room to listen to it alone.
"Well alone with Divine Dogs and Nue but I digress"
Tearing open the envelope, a look of perplexion fell upon the boy's features as he stared at the disk that fell onto his desk as opposed to the physical letter he expected.
"I mean it is the top hero program in the country; I'd be surprised if they didn't do things differently," The greenette thought with a chuckle before poking the disk.
"I AM HERE, AS A PROJECTION!" The loud bellowing voice of All Might all but yelled at. Izuku stared in amazement at the holo-disk before his face faltered slightly once he'd seen the blonde hero. After what had happened on the rooftop Izuku had lost a significant amount of respect for the number one hero.
Looking around his room, there was little to no All Might merch in his room, instead being replaced with merchandise from a variety of heroes such as Hawks, Miruko, and, most importantly, Death Arms. There were also numerous pictures of him with his family, his gaze softening at the picture they'd taken right after adopting Aoi Todo, now Midoriya, a few months ago.
"I'll keep this brief Young Midoriya, you passed the exam with 74 villain points and 240 rescue points all but ensuring your enrollment into the hero course." Izuku couldn't believe his ears. He'd been accepted into his dream school. He'd be able to pursue his dream career.
"However," Oh
"Upon reviewing your transcript, we were notified of your current therapeutical situation and as such reached out to your therapist. Although you've made strides in your self-confidence, Dr. McKnight recommended we enroll you under the condition that you keep up with your current sessions for the duration of your schooling at UA. Should you accept these conditions, we at UA would be happy to welcome you to our school. Welcome to YOUR Hero Academia! "
His eavesdropping family went ballistic that their son/younger brother was accepted.
His first day had come faster than expected.
After an emotional sendoff by his mother and older brother, Izuku was scanning the halls of UA, desperately searching for his assigned classroom.
"1-A, 1-A, 1-A...Bingo!" He stopped in front of a towering door that red '1-A' in large print.
"Must be for people with size-related mutations" The boy mumbled to himself before walking inside.
As soon as the greenette walked through the door all conversation in the room ceased as all eyes shifted to him.
"It's you!" Izuku recognized the voice almost instantly and turned toward the brunette he'd saved during the entrance exam.
"I-It's me" Sky-blue eyes scanned the room, taking note of his future classmates before something caught his eye.
Walking past the brunette and the boy who chastised him for speaking during the presentation, Izuku made his way toward a head of purple hair and stopped in front of her, staring her down.
And staring.
And staring.
"Uhhh...can I help you dude?" The violet-haired girl wore a face filled with confusion and slight annoyance as she waited for the boy to speak.
"S-Sorry it's just...y-your phone case has a picture of a H-Harrison Gordon album, they're one of m-my favorite bands." A blush crept up on the taller boy's face as he stared at the ground.
"O-Oh, that's pretty cool. What's your favorite song?" The lavender-haired girl found herself sporting a blush as well as her eyes drifted to the phone case in question, the clear case withholding a picture of the band's album 'The Yuppies are Winning'
"Excedrin by a mile! I...I used to listen to it when I was feeling really bummed. That whole album felt like a safe space for me" The lavender-haired girl's eyes widened the more the boy spoke, completely baffled that someone not only listened to the same music she did,
But for the same reasons she did.
Before she could open her mouth to answer, a gruff voice interjected.
"Cut the idle chitchat, if you're here to make friends then leave." 1-A's eyes turned toward their teacher as they shuffled to their assigned seating.
"Eight seconds. I expect two seconds off this time by tomorrow or else. Now put these on and get outside."
After changing into their PE uniforms, 1-A was standing before their homeroom teacher, awaiting instruction.
"Today we'll be doing quirk apprehension tests to establish a benchmark for each of you; we'll use these to gauge how much you progress throughout the year," Aizawa explained, watching as a look of confusion overtook his students.
Ochako was the first to speak up, nervousness ever present in her round eyes.
"B-But wouldn't we miss orientation?" A chorus of agreement came from the crowd of students, stripping away some of the previous apprehension that plagued the girl's expression.
"UA allows their teachers to instruct students however they see fit, I see no need for pointless ceremonies such as orientation so we'll be doing these tests instead." The insomniac pointed to Katsuki, instructing him to stand in the taped circle.
"You had the highest number of villain points in the entrance exams so you'll start us off. How far were you able to throw a softball in middle school?"
"About 70 meters give or take" Aizawa then tossed the boy a modified softball before pulling out a tracker.
"Try again, using your quirk this time" A sadistic grin overtook the blonde's face as he reared his arm back and launched the softball with a mighty explosion.
"DIE!"
"Die?" Izuku thought to himself.
Aizawa held up the tracking device, allowing the students to read the score for themselves.
705.2 meters.
A chorus of gasps erupted from the students as they praised the blonde's score.
"Ever since the appearance of quirks, the Japanese government is still trying their hardest to keep the 'All men are created equally' narrative while in reality, that's no longer the case. Today, you'll use your abilities to push beyond what you scored in middle school, setting new limits only to surpass those limits later"
Excitement washed over 1-A, every one of them eager to test the might of their quirk.
"This is what I'm talkin' about! Gettin' to use our quirks as much as we want!"
Wrong move.
Aizawa's eyes flashed red as his scarf and hair began to float menacingly.
"Let's make this fun then, whoever comes in last place will be expelled." Almost instantly the looks of excitement fell from the class as fear began to set in once more.
Another brave student spoke up, one with pink skin, eager to remove the consequences for whoever placed last.
"T-That's not fair, someone is bound to come in last! They shouldn't be expelled because of that!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Aizawa's glare intensified as he stared the teen down.
"Fair? Are natural disasters fair? Home invasions? Assault? Our job as heroes is to shoulder the unfairness in the world so as to protect civilians. If you aren't ready for that then you can walk away right now." The short speech shut down any hopes of argument in his students while also having a secondary effect,
Of lighting a fire in each and every one of them.
50-Meter Dash
Izuku took a sprinters stance, staring straight down at the dirt below him and ignoring Katsuki.
"Set"
The greenette shot his head up and raised his knees, leaning his shoulders above his fingertips.
"GO!"
He immediately took off, pouring cursed energy into his legs to push him off the ground harder than normal resulting in him crossing the finish line before his ash-blonde classmate.
"4.10 seconds & 4.13 seconds"
Grip Strength
Clasping his hands together, Izuku made a shadow puppet resembling a wolf before calling out to his companions.
"Divine Dogs!" The twin dogs appeared before clamping their jaws around the strength machine, causing it to creak.
"356.0kg!"
Standing Long Jump
"Nue!" The greenette called to his companion. The bird materialized from the shadows and carried her summoner over the pit.
Softball Throw
Ochako stepped into the circle and placed all five of her fingertips on it, activating her quirk. With a light toss, the ball made its way up above the spectators, then the school, then the country before being marked as infinity.
1-A lost their minds as the brunette had just scored something infeasible, something unbeatable.
"Izuku Midoriya" Aizawa called and the boy made his way to the circle, lightly clutching the spare softball he'd been given.
"Oof, I feel bad for Midoriya man"
"Me too. I couldn't imagine having to throw right after the girl who got infinity"
"Me neither"
Ignoring his classmates, Izuku tossed the ball up as high as he could before quickly bringing his hands together in the shape of a bird, summoning Nue who snagged the ball mid-air and carried it above the class.
And above the school.
And above the country.
"Infinity"
Izuku scanned the list for his name, not having to really search at all considering his name was second following Momo Yaoyorozu.
"At first I was going to reveal this as a logical ruse and not expel any of you, however after viewing your priorities, Minoru Mineta, I can all but guarantee you'll amount to nothing and as such you will be expelled." The grape-haired boy looked crestfallen.
Izuku nervously stepped forward, raising his hand to ask for permission to speak which he was granted.
"I-I may not know M-Mineta personally b-but his expression alone tells me that he genuinely wanted to b-become a hero, not to get with women, but to save people. T-There's so many higher paying, less dangerous jobs that could get him a-all the w-women he wanted yet he chose to risk his life trying to b-become a hero." By the end of his speech, all of 1-A, including Aizawa, had been staring at him, mouths agape.
"I...I'll give him one chance, Midoriya. If he screws up in any large way not only will he be expelled, but you will be as well."
By the end of the school day, Izuku was exhausted. From the quirk apprehension test to defending his classmate, the first day had been nothing like he'd thought it'd be. All he wanted to do was lie down next to his Divine Dogs and talk about dumb stuff with his big brother which required him to speak to no one and head straight home which he fully intended to do.
Until he saw her.
"Harrison Gordon girl?"
The lavender-haired girl, who had extremely good hearing as Izuku had deduced, turned toward him and blushed before stomping over to him and lightly poking him with her jacks.
"I like other bands too y'know, and my name's Kyouka Jirou, not Harrison Gordon Girl" Izuku gave the shorter girl a dumb nod as the two stared at each other.
And stared.
And stared.
Eventually, Kyouka broke the silence, stabbing a finger into his chest before asking a question.
"And your name is?"
"O-Oh, I'm I-Izuku M-Midoriya. Nice to m-meet you!" By now the greenette's ice-white tips were tinted red as he tried to keep his eyes on the girl's face.
"Likewise Midoriya. See you tomorrow" With that, Kyouka turned on her heel and began her walk to the train station,
Ignorant to the frustrated look pointed toward her by her brunette classmate.
Chapter 5: This, Is The Strength of A Sorcerer!
Shagdoge: If you could throw reviews at the end that would be great.
Any: I thought about it tbh but a lot of what I say in the reviews acts as context to what happens later in the chapter so I'm gonna keep em up here FOR NOW but I might throw em at the end jus to see how it works type shi.
3headed-dragon:So Todo was adopted into the family and now he and Izuku are actually brothers, didn't see that coming but I love it.
Izuku shows that he is getting better mentally slowly but surly by not only ignoring Katsuki, covertly standing up to him, and then finally defending Mineta against Aizawa. All things canon Izuku didn't have the courage to do at this time. This shows nice progression for luku as he didn't instantly go to talking back to Katsuki and Aizawa and he still has his stutter showing that while he's making progress it's at a more believable pace.
I found Izuku's interactions with both Ochako and Kyoka to be funny and greatly enjoyed them.
Which Shikigami will Izuku try to challenge next? It would be kinda funny if he decided to unlock Gama next just because of Tsuyu. Will the Ten Shadows work the same as in JJK which means if a Shikigami is destroyed then they're gone? If so then I ask that you not kill off Oichi (The Snake) too quickly. We literally saw him used ONCE in JJK before he was killed off, they made him the literal definition of cannon fodder.
Ant: I felt like it would be better if Izuku had a struggle with overcoming his problems. Not so much as to where it feels like he isn't moving forward but no so little to where he's just a new person overnight. I want him to lose his stutter around people he fw/when he's passionate about something but when it comes to social interaction with girls or people he doesn't know he's cooked.
Yes Shikigami work the same but as of rn I don't plan on killing any of them and I want to make all of them shine including Orochi
kokichi2002: ok how irresponsible are the adults in this fic?
this fic: yes
like seriously wtf.. even if the victim doesn't want to file charges bakugo should have been sent into juvenile detention center at least! bakugo didn't even hesitate to launch his explosion. what makes it worst he doesn't care if others might also get hurt on his attack.
same goes for the school and the child.
the school is for letting this sht happened in the first place and terrorism. redestro terrorist
and therapy or the child that thinks this is okay.
Ant: Say you skipped the review response w/o saying you skipped the review response. Fuck that. Say you DIDNT READ THE DR'S REASONING W/O SAYING YOU DIDNT READ IT. Ian wasting my breath tellin yah why things happened the way they happened especially when it's alr there. Next time read what I write lil bro before tryna comment on it word is bond.
Psy-Kick:Awesome chapter!
A love triangle between Izuku Ochaco and Kyoka?
Nice :D
Ant: I have a rough idea of what I want to do with Izuku, Ochako & Kyouka but Ian spoilin nuthin! Word is bond
Satan'sMessenger:I'm astounded by the quality of your writing compared to how you write that intro stuff, it's very impressive.
Ant: Ion know if you know this but I'm African American and when I write review responses/intros I type how I'd talk. What this sounds like TO ME (I could be horribly wrong) is that you didn't expect me to write so well considering how I speak which is NUTS icl word is bond. Ofc I can be (and probably am) horribly off tha mark and in that case my bad twin.
Scott Marshall1:All might did the right thing by bringing deku to a mental hospital coz the little guy definitely needs his head examined coz I know that he thinks till aoi shows up he still thinks that cuntsuki is his friend or whatever
Ant: Type shi
With that said let's get right into it! I had a lot of fun writing the fight scenes in this chapter and writing the interactions between Izuku and the two girls. Who will he get w? Guess in the reviews (I fucking love reading and responding to reviews!)even tho Ian gon tell ya if ya right. As always,
WORD IS BONNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD!
"Hero basic training? Who do you think is teaching this one?" The brunette let the question hang in the air as she eagerly petted Izuku's snow-white familiar.
The dog's summoner chewed his lip slightly, his expression conveying deep thought. After a few moments of contemplation, the boy finally spoke.
"I doubt it's Aizawa-Sensei, he's an underground hero so his tactics are far different than the average pro. I'd say it's probably Miruko or Best Jeanist, maybe even Edgeshot. They're relatively high on the hero rankings and can give us valuable insight into what it means to not just be a pro, but an up-and-coming pro hero considering the former is working on rising the ranks. Oh! I could be wrong and we may be doing specialized training, in that case then the he-" A soft, padded, hand slammed itself over his mouth, halting his muttering.
Following the hand to its owner, the Shikigami wielder's face flushed, sky-blue eyes meeting hazel brown. Ochako slightly retracted her hand, pad-tipped fingers slightly caressing her classmate's strong jawline as the two stared into each other's eyes, their interaction being slightly obscured by one-half of Divine Dog's.
"I AM COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" As soon as the words registered the two teens hastily separated, eyes that seemingly couldn't get enough of each other now desperately avoiding contact as their classmates eagerly gushed about their Hero Course teacher.
"HOLY SHIT IT'S ALL MIGHT!"
"IS HE GONNA BE OUR TEACHER?!"
"HE BETTER BE OR I'M DROPPING OUT!"
The number one hero in question offered a sheepish smile as he made a gesture instructing the class to calm down.
"JUST AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED I, ALL MIGHT, AM THE TEACHER FOR HERO BASIC TRAINING!" A chorus of cheers and words of elation filled the classroom, almost all excited at the prospect of being taught by the best hero in Japan.
All except for Izuku.
"Your relationship with All Might is complicated correct?" Dr. McKnight adjusted his glasses before handing Izuku a glass of sweet tea.
The greenette eagerly accepted the refreshment, taking a sip punctuated with a satisfied sigh. Refocusing, he finally answered the question.
"Yeah. After what he said about my dream I found myself seeing him as another man who didn't b-believe in me rather than the number one hero." The older man smiled, during their time together Izuku had grown more and more comfortable with the man and vice versa, all but losing his stutter around him.
Taking a long sip from his own tea, Dr. McKnight jotted down something with his free right hand before asking another question.
"Are there any heroes you're more partial to nowadays?" Almost instantly the teen's eyes lit up, eager to speak about his new favorite heroes.
"If I had to pick just one, it'd be Death Arms but I also REALLY like Mirukos confidence, even though she gets a lot of negativity for it, I think it's a way to show the people she's saving that the villain she's facing has nothing on her! Oh! There's also Hawks, he's rising the ranks crazy fast so you'd think he'd be super egotistical but from what I've seen he's super laid back" A soft smile washed over the older man's face as he attentively listened to, not his patient,
but a boy he truly considered family.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU RECALL BACK TO THE PRE-APP PROCESS THEN YOU'D REMEMBER WE HAD YOU SUBMIT A ROUGH DESIGN OF YOUR HERO COSTUMES!" The massive number one hero fished a remote from his spandex and pressed a green button on it. From the walls of the classroom, case-like hangers ejected, each marked with a number correlating to a student.
It didn't take long for 1-A to recognize what was contained in these cases, and it took even less time for them to erupt in excited cheers.
"THAT'S RIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS, THE FIRST PART OF BECOMING A PRO HERO IS LOOKING THE PART! NOW GET DRESSED AND MEET ME AT GROUNDBETA!" 1-A clamored over one another, desperate to secure their costumes, before heading to the locker rooms.
"I'm so excited! What do you think the lesson is gonna be?" The pink-skinned girl shoved her button-up shirt into her locker, leaving her clad in a sports bra and panties.
Slipping on her spandex, Momo pinched her chin, her face overcome with a thoughtful expression.
"Judging by the fact that we're wearing our hero costumes I'd say we're doing an exercise involving some physical activity. Furthermore, All Might is a combat hero so I feel as though the test would reflect that, as a way to play to his strengths. In conclusion, the test is likely a combat exercise either against fellow students or against robots although I find the latter extremely unlikely considering the entrance exam gauged you all on combat effectiveness against them so it is most likely the former."
By the time her explanation finished, the girl's locker room had become silent, every set of eyes pointed toward her.
Mina Ashido, the girl who'd asked the question, was the first to break the silence that befell them.
"Wow. You kinda sounded like Midoriya just now~" The taller girl's face flushed as she covered her face with her slender fingers.
"I-I don't see the resemblance" Momo spoke through her fingers, eyes unwilling to meet her classmates.
Mina, however, was seemingly intent on keeping her flustered.
Sauntering up to the taller girl, Mina leaned up on her toes so as to whisper in her onyx-haired classmate's ear.
"Really? Because you're blushing all cute. Just. Like. Him." Her teasing words somehow deepened the already crimson full-body blush sported by one Momo Yaoyarozu.
The upper-class teen quickly shook her hands in front of her face, vehemently denying the shorter girls' implications.
"Midoriya's c-cute...but he isn't really my type."
Bad move.
The other girls, especially Mina, were on her like white on rice, eagerly asking her for clarifications on who exactly was her type.
"Not into muscled nerds?"
"What's your poison then? The broody types?"
"Energetic guys?"
"The French?!"
The conversation then devolved into a myriad of questions regarding who was into whom, with almost everyone in the locker room participating in the conversation save for Kyouka Jiro who was still in the shower, and Ochako Uraraka who was standing still.
Eventually, the pink-skinned girl realized the latter teen's lack of involvement and turned toward her. What she witnessed the brunette doing was so overwhelmingly odd that she had to stop the flow of conversation to inquire about it.
"Uraraka, why are you kissing your hand?"
"YOU ALL LOOK WONDERFUL"
1-A currently stood in front of the number one hero, chatting amongst themselves about their costumes.
"You look great Yaomomo!" The onyx-haired girl blushed at the compliment from her pink-skinned classmate while subconsciously covering areas of exposed skin with her arms.
Minoru Mineta began to salivate at the sight but a look from his freckled sponsor halted any pending comment.
1-A was in utter disbelief, speechless for a number of moments before resuming their conversations.
Izuku scanned his sky-blue eyes over his classmates' costumes, a slight blush forming on his face when they fell over the females. They stood in a group, almost all of them giving and receiving compliments about each other's costumes.
All except for a certain lavender-haired girl who stood nervously, tugging at the hem of her cropped leather jacket.
"Harriso-, I mean Kyouka, looks bummed. It looks like they haven't really said a lot about her outfit even though it looks so cool! Do the speakers on her boots amplify her heartbeat? If they do, would she be able to plug them in and use sonically amplified Taekwondo? That'd probably be the coolest thing ever!" Retrieving his journal, Izuku began to eagerly scribble down as many ideas as he could alongside a rough sketch of the shorter girl.
Once he finished, the sorcerer took a few shaky steps in her direction, ready to rectify the seeming lack of appreciation for her costume.
Mineta cheered the boy on silently.
Both boys ignorant of the confused and slightly annoyed look coming from Uraraka.
"J-Jiro-San," The Shikigami wielder felt himself seize up as the shorter girl's piercing eyes settled upon him.
"What." Her voice was low, almost angry, as her coal-black eyes studied his very soul.
"I j-just wanted to s-say you look really g-good in your costume!" He'd somehow managed to force the compliment out of his throat, sky-blue eyes refusing to meet the form of the girl he'd just complimented.
If he had, he'd have seen the furious blush that spread across the rocker girl's cheeks, her one piercing glare softening into an appreciative gaze.
"Y-You don't look too bad yourself." The response was short and quiet, nearly being missed by the Shikigami user.
The sorcerer in question looked down to his own outfit, smiling at the memory of its acquisition.
"A Jujutsu Tech uniform?" Izuku shot a questioning look toward his elder brother who offered a wide smile in response.
"Yup! From the day you began training, you were not solely preparing to carry the legacy of a hero, but also a Jujutsu Sorcerer"
Izuku stared down at the parcel in his hands, studying the intricately woven fabric of the uniform contained within it via Six Eyes before asking a clarifying question.
"What exactly does being a Jujutsu Sorcerer entail?" The once playful and excited gaze of Aoi Midoriya hardened as he looked straight into his younger brother's Six Eyes.
"Being a Jujutsu Sorcerer means dedicating yourself to defending humanity from threats unseen, threats far worse than even the most deplorable of villains. These threats are known as Curses and it is our responsibility to exorcise them whenever possible, even if it costs us our lives." A newfound vigor instilled itself within both of them as Izuku felt determination and pride swell within him.
Opening the parcel, Izuku held the uniform against his body, feeling the warmth that spread about him after doing so.
This uniform felt so right.
"I'll take on, not just the responsibilities of a Pro Hero, but a Jujutsu Sorcerer as well! I'll exorcise any curse that threatens the peace built up by Pros and Sorcerers alike, even if it costs me my life!" With his declaration, Aoi grinned as wide as his face would allow him, and then some, before embracing his brother.
"Then become strong brother, and wear that uniform as a symbol of pride! Not just as a Pro Hero, but as one of the last Jujutsu Sorcerers left! Now, put that uniform on and subjugate your next Shikigami!"
"You got it!"
During his walk down memory lane, All Might had explained today's exorcise and paired them into groups.
Naturally, he'd be fighting Katsuki because the world just had to see him suffer.
"Are you alright, Deku?" The voice of his partner snapped him out of his musings.
"Deku?" His voice was low as his blue eyes hardened, studying the shorter girl.
Ochako immediately waved her hands in front of her face, scared that what she had said upset her teammate.
"I-It's just...I heard that blonde guy call you that a bunch so I thought it was a nickname, I-I'm sorry if it offended you. If anything it sounds like Dekiru, 'You can do it!'" The Jujutsu Sorcerer sighed as he studied the nervous brunette in front of him."
Softening his eyes, Izuku crouched down to better meet the girl's eyes, clasping her hands between his own.
"It's alright Ochako, you meant it as something affectionate, and i-if I'm being honest...I k-kinda like the new m-meaning to it!" Immediately, the brunette's face lost its nervousness as she released a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding.
"HEROES, FIVE MINUTES OF PREP TIME REMAINING!" The two teens winced slightly at the already bellowing voice being amplified by the PA system.
Refocusing, Izuku used Six Eyes to scan the building they'd be infiltrating, straining his eyes to the point of ocular bleeding.
But the results had been worth it.
"Second to last floor, third room on the left. Iida is guarding the bomb while Katsuki is roaming the halls." Turning back toward Ochako, he laid out the plan they'd use to secure the bomb.
Said plan was barely registered as the brunette found herself mesmerized by the beautiful mix of blue and crimson.
Once they'd been given the go-ahead, Izuku and Ochako entered the mock building and immediately split up per the plan.
"YOU SHITTY NERD! I KNOW YOU'RE NEARBY!"
And per said plan, Katsuki was right on time.
Slipping into the shadows, Izuku made his way toward the blonde, intent on securing him with the capture tape before the ash-blonde teen had even known what hit him.
Once he had settled behind Katsuki, the Jujutsu Sorcerer slowly reached out from his blanket of shadows, moving the capture tape toward the explosive teen's ankles. The tape would have easily ensnared anyone else, but Izuku failed to take into account one thing.
Katsuki Bakugo had insane reflexes.
Throwing himself forward, Katsuki dodged the attempt at swift victory, righting himself mid-air via explosions.
"I HOPE YOU HAVE MORE UP YOUR SLEEVE THAN THAT! ESPECIALLY AFTER HIDING YOUR REAL QUIRK FROM ME!" Before the greenette even had a chance to reply, Katsuki sent an explosion toward the shadow Izuku was hiding in, expelling him out from it and right into an explosion courtesy of the blonde.
Izuku let himself fly back, leaning slightly backward into a backflip which allowed him to land square on his feet.
The two teens stared at each other, neither making a single move nor sound.
Until a single drop from the waterlogged ceiling fell to the ground.
Almost instantly, the two made a mad dash toward each other, Katsuki throwing a wild right hook. Raising his left arm, Izuku blocked the punch, responding in kind with a right-round kick into the boy's ribs. The ash-blonde teen recoiled back before launching himself toward Izuku, explosions propelling him forward
"DIE!" Throwing his hands down at an angle, Katsuki changed course mid-air, circling to Izuku's side and sending an explosion into the Sorcerer's side. Izuku grunted in pain, quickly diving forward to avoid a follow-up from his former friend before reaching into his shadow and retrieving Playful Cloud.
"Midoriya knows how to use a staff?" Jiro had meant it more as a question to herself but, per usual, a certain pink-skinned girl felt the need to answer the question in a very blush-inducing way.
"Seems like it. Why do you ask, into guys who know how to use weapons?"
A quick jab via Earphone Jack silenced any follow-up questions the girl may have had.
"I have to admit, he does look kinda cool fighting with that staff...I might have to ask for lessons"
Meanwhile, Izuku slammed his staff into the ground, using it to launch himself and deliver a double-legged kick into Katuski's face sending him reeling backward. Following up, Izuku tossed the staff up horizontally and switched stances, throwing a switch hook that sent the staff flying into the ash-blonde's face. Not one to be outdone, Katsuki used his explosions to launch himself forward before sticking his hand out at an angle.
"He's gonna swing to my side and attack from there again!"
"YOU'RE WRONG!" Katsuki dropped his explosions and fell to the ground.
Crouching low, he swept the Sorcerer's legs out from under him, sending him crashing to the ground. Mounting his adversary, Katsuki began to rain explosive blows down onto the muscled frame of Izuku, said boy trying his hardest to block.
"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO REMEMBER YOUR PLACE?! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR REAL QUIRK IS, IT WILL NEVER BE AS STRONG AS MINE!" With every word, Katsuki landed another explosive blow onto his adversary's face, fracturing his nose and jaw while burning the very clothes off of the boy's back.
"Midoriya has quite the physique, doesn't he Jiro?"
"You know you don't have to speak, right?"
"So meannnn~"
"Bite me!"
"Why? When you can have Midoriya bite you up all you want~"
Jiro wasn't imagining a shirtless Izuku biting her.
Not at all.
Meanwhile, Izuku, having enough of being punched in the face, bucked his hips, throwing the ash-blonde teen off of him. Capitalizing on the momentary confusion of Katsuki, the Jujutsu Sorcerer closed the distance between them, deep, dark blue Cursed Energy encompassing his fist. Dropping his hips, Izuku sent his right fist barreling into the blonde's stomach, causing him to stumble.
"IS THAT SERIOUSLY ALL THE FIREPOWER YOU HA-"
"Divergent Fist"
Immediately, Katsuki felt a second, much stronger, impact hit him in the stomach, sending him flying down the hallway. Flashing the handsign for Nue, Izuku attempted to fly out the window.
Until an explosion hit his summon point blank.
"NUE!" The familiar's owner gingerly caught the wounded bird before hastily dispelling her to recuperate.
Turning to his right, Izuku furrowed his brow at the sight before him.
There stood Katsuki, the upper half of his costume in tatters, aiming a grenade-like gauntlet at Izuku.
"By now, I'm sure you know how my quirk works. These gauntlets have a shit load of my sweat which means once I pull this pin-"
"DON'T YOUNG BAKUGO! IF THAT HITS HIM HE'LL DIE!" The voice of All Might did little to deter him, judging by his maniacal grin.
"I DISPELLED HIS BIRD AND THE DOGS RAN OFF WITH THAT ROUND-FACED BITCH, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS DODGE!" With a twitch of his finger, Katsuki pulled the pin, launching a massive explosion that engulfed the hallway.
"M-Midoriya?" For once Mina hadn't added a teasing joke after the name which was supposed to make her happy, but in all honesty,
Jiro was scared.
"H-He'll be alright right? Midoriya is super strong!" Clutching her fist to her chest, the rocker girl silently prayed that the boy who'd called her 'Harrison Gordon Girl' would somehow overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacle he'd just been faced with.
And it seemed her prayers were heard.
From the shadows sprung a massive white-headed snake, jaw agape, which swallowed the explosion whole before wrapping itself around Katsuki.
"You were right, I do know a lot about your quirk but it seems like you don't know a lot about mine." The blue-eyed boy walked toward his adversary, wrapping him in capture tape before pushing him over.
"I DON'T NEED TO KNOW SHIT! IT'S A SHITTY POWER USED BY A SHITY FUCKING NERD!"
"You say that, but this power, cultivated by myself and my elder brother, beat you and now it's about to win this exercise. Ochako, do it now" Katsuki could vaguely hear a muffled 'gotcha' as Izuku walked to a seemingly random pillar.
Rearing his fist back, Izuku poured the remainder of his cursed energy into his fist and slammed it into the pillar.
Which happened to be a load-bearing beam, sending the entire upper floor crumbling down.
Ochako, supported by Divine Dogs, were able to catch not only the bomb, but Iida as well, securing the bomb alongside their victory.
"HERO TEAM WINS!"
Izuku turned toward his seething former friend, walking up to him and crouching down to meet his gaze.
"What the fuck do you want Deku?!" The sorcerer could tell that he was barely containing murderous rage and so kept his closing words short and not so sweet.
"You lost because you went in expecting to fight Deku, someone who failed to be a hero. But I'm not him anymore. You fought someone completely new; you fought Deku, future special-grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, and number one hero!"
Chapter 6: Limitless
3headed-dragon:I love this chapter. Izuku shows that he is skilled but he's not curb stomping everyone in his path, not yet anyway. Kyoka is having some naughty thoughts and Ochako is jealous while doing..questionable things with her hand. I couldn't stop laughing at the girls.
Are curses really still a thing or is being a Jujutsu
Sorcerer more like a title now since apparently Izuku and Aoi are the last of them? Or is it more like Izuku having Six Eyes and 10 Shadows will awaken curses once again and awaken others as Jujutsu Sorcerers?
Will Izuku eventually share his ideas for everyone's
Quirks since with Six Eyes he would be able to analyze them in even more detail?
Are Nomu going to be considered curses since they're dead but have been reanimated?
Ant: Curses are still a think in this world however they won't really play a prominent role until we get to a certain, ballsack face villain.
I wouldn't consider Nomu curses since they're alive I think jus really fuckin dumb (could be wrong ofc word is bond)
Guest:Not a harem of every female known to exist; but Ochako, Jiro, or Both with those two being it/finito?
Fine with all that.
Ant: Ion really write harems or read em anymore cuz they almost always boil down to "omg he's so hot let's fuck him even though there's no real emotional connection to him or the other girls in the harem" by focusing on just one girl I can really hammer in interaction after interaction which, imo, makes the relationships feel more authentic. Read wha ya want ofc word is bond!
Sothniz:I like that you influded Izuku accepting deku as a nickname more confidently... however, i dtill think its silly that they had him both try to make that his hero name and also have it approved by teachers that definitely knew about the origins of it. Honestly i think it'd be a lot cooler if you had Aoi talk him out of it and suggest a different hero name since one of Izuku's main goals so far is to distance himself from Katsuki and while the meaning has changed Izuku will akways know deep down what Deku ACTUALLY means. Sorry for the ramble lol
Ant: I think picking the name Deku fits MORE in this story than in the actual animanga. Izuku's therapist is getting him out of his shell while also getting him to retaliate against Katsuki even in little ways. By using Deku as his hero name it not only shifts the meaning to a hopeful one but it's using HIS OWN WORD to further his hero career, basically Katsuki picked his hero name for him despite saying he couldn't become one type shi.
Anyways hope y'all enjoy tha chapter and as always,
WORD IS BONNNDDDDDDDDD!
"Today, we'll be doing something far more important than anything done to date." The atmosphere in the room dropped, the weight of Aizawa's words bearing down on the students of 1-A.
Turning toward one another, Izuku and Ochako shared a concerned look, both anxious at what their next task would be.
"You'll be picking a class representative."
The once-heavy atmosphere lightened as the class stared at their homeroom teacher in, somewhat, mock shock.
Mina, per usual, was the first to break the settled silence.
"All that build-up over picking a class rep? You're too cruel Mr. Aizawa!" If you asked anyone in class 1-A about it, they'd swear up and down that Aizawa had grinned maniacally at them.
The man in question would vehemently deny it.
The chatter within the classroom shifted from words of accusation toward their homeroom teacher to an eager discussion over who should be the representative for class 1-A.
"I think it should be the smart people like Yaomomo!" A number of students voiced their agreement with the pink-skinned girl, her reasoning seeming relatively fair.
Those who didn't agree with her, however, were busy vehemently campaigning, trying their hardest to convince their classmates that they'd be the best fit to lead the classroom.
"I'M THE BEST FIT TO LEAD THIS CLASS, I'M THE STRONGEST!"
"Didn't Midoriya beat you up during our last lesson?"
"SHUT UP PINKY!"
The resident Jujutsu Sorcerer exhaled deeply, shaking his head before closing his sky-blue eyes and focusing deeply.
"There's something I've been meaning to ask, Izuku" The doctor and patient were playing Connect 4 together, their session ending around 20 minutes ago.
Izuku carefully studied the grid, sliding in his red piece to block a potential victory from his opponent. Relaxing his face, he met the dark brown eyes of his therapist, no, his family, and responded.
"Shoot"
It was not Dr. McKnight's turn to make his move, sliding his piece into a seemingly inconspicuous place on the grid before asking his question.
"Your quirk, you said it's Cursed Energy Manipulation, and your eyes and Shikigami are Cursed Techniques correct?"
Izuku slid his red chip into the grid.
"Mhm. There's basic Cursed Energy manipulation which allows me to enhance my strength and then there are Cursed Techniques that are ingrained into my body. I currently use the Cursed Techniques of my elder brother's Sensei and his close friend."
Dr. McKnight responded with his own yellow piece.
"If that's the case then are you able to use the Cursed Techniques of his other friends? It seems as though you're connected to them in some way, like they're giving you their power to do something they couldn't accomplish."
Izuku's hand halted.
"I never even thought of that before! I know I can use Megumi's Ten Shadows but can I also use Chimera Shadow Garden? Could I maybe even use Limitless? I have the six eyes which is a Gojo clan technique so I should be able to use its sister technique right? And what about my brother's own technique, Boogie Woogie? I find that unlikely especially after hearing Mr. McKnighths theory. But that still leaves Cursed Techniques like Cursed Speech and Blood Manipulation. I can ask Big Brother about them but my first Cursed Technique manifested while I was in distress. Wait! What about Six Eyes? I was born with that so maybe Limitless is engraved into my body as well? Only one way to find out!"
Dr. McKnight sat patiently, calmly waiting for the young boy in front of him to finish spewing out his thoughts so he could get an answer to his question.
"Throw that piece at me!"
That was not at all what he expected the blue-eyed boy to say once he'd wrapped his thoughts up.
"I beg your pardon?"
Izuku's face was determined as he pointed toward the yellow Connect 4 piece the dark-skinned man held in his hand.
"I want to try something, can you throw that Connect 4 piece at me, as hard as you can!"
The teen stood up, tensing his muscles as he prepared for the impending impact.
The taller man stood as well, a nervous look on his face as he reared his hand back.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely!"
With this final piece of confirmation, slight flickers of electricity engulfed the object, not so much as to where it would hurt, but enough to give it some speed and a slight sting.
"Oso!" The older man breathed as he stepped firmly with his left and threw the electrically charged piece with his right.
What happened next shocked both of them.
As though grabbed mid-air by an invisible force, the Connect 4 piece halted right before hitting the greenette, completely suspended in the air.
"Holy shit…I CAN USE LIMITLE-" Before the boy could finish the sentence, blood began to flow from his nose as his world darkened.
"Are you alright Deku?" His eyes snapped open, watching in excitement as the brunette's finger was stopped mid-air only moments before touching his shoulder.
After a few drops of blood fell on his desk, he hastily released the technique, allowing a newly confused Ochako to rest her hand on his shoulder.
"I-I'm alright." Izuku stared at the blood on his desk, avoiding the brunette's gaze as he reflected on his new Cursed Technique.
"I can use Limitless to stop things with low mass or low speed for about a second at most. The longer I hold the object in place the more my head hurts and my nose bleeds before I eventually fall unconscious. As it is now Limitless can't be used in combat but I have faith I can train it enough to be combat-applicable!"
Suddenly, the brunette grabbed the sides of his face with her hands, turning his head to meet her eyes before using her left hand to wipe the blood leaking from his nose.
"Whatever you're doing, stop it. Being able to stop stuff mid-air is cool but it isn't worth hurting yourself like this. Ok?" The Jujutsu Sorcerer nodded dumbly, watching as his friend produced a handkerchief to wipe the rest of the blood from his face.
CLICK*
The two immediately turned toward the source of the sound and flash, flushing once they realized what it was and whohad done it.
Mina had taken a picture of the two.
"So. CUTE! The year just started and we already have a blooming romance!" The horned girl squealed, falling into a back handspring to avoid the Black half of Divine Dogs that had moved to swipe the camera.
"T-That's not t-true!" The dog's summoner made a weak attempt to argue as he watched Mina elegantly dance around the room, easily avoiding one-half of his twin Shikigami.
Mina eventually pocketed the phone before making her way toward a strangely annoyed-looking Kyouka, bending over to reach the seated girl's ear.
"If you aren't careful, Ochako's gonna snatch your man up before you even realize you actually like him~" The pink-skinned girl jumped back, narrowly avoiding an Earphone Jack headed for her eyes.
"I really dislike you sometimes"
"Love you too bestie!"
Eventually, the class had settled on an election system resulting in something unprecedented for Izuku.
He had won.
"WHO VOTED FOR THAT NERD?!"
Ochako, Tenya, Kyouka, and Mineta all began to whistle, turning their heads elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Izuku was a nervous wreck, unable to fathom himself in a leadership role.
"I…I have to do it! Mr. McKnight said I should try to get outside my comfort zone and this is definitely that!"Hardening his eyes, Izuku turned toward his vice president, the onyx-haired girl giving him a small smile alongside a thumbs up.
"I-I'm thankful f-for this opportunity to l-lead y-you all and I hope to uplift e-each and every one of you on your journey to becoming Pro Heros. On my p-pride as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, I will use this position not to embellish myself, but to raise you all higher than even the symbol of peace!" The boy's passion reached his classmates, each and every one of them sporting looks of determination as they listened to their class president speak.
One student, in particular, gazed upon the boy with a slight blush on her face, the sensation of his face still fresh on her palms.
"Deku-Kun looks so cute when he's determined…"
"Whaddya got there Deku?" The Jujutsu Sorcerer's Six Eyes immediately shot down, slightly widening with what he saw.
Ochako had put her hand on his leg, using it as support as she leaned in front of him to get a good look at his food.
"K-Katsudon. My mom m-makes it f-for me and my b-brother a lot." The brunette nodded in understanding before reaching down to grab the spoon he'd been using to eat.
Had their table not been focusing on their own meals, Izuku was positive they'd get the wrong idea after what happened next.
Ochako took a spoonful of his food and ate it…
Before using that very same spoon to get another portion and slide it into his mouth.
All while she was inches away from fully sitting in his lap.
"D-Does she like me like me? I don't think I'm prepared! Did this count as my first kiss? Was it her first kiss? Do we have to get married and have k-kids?!" A deep shade of crimson fully enveloped the greenettes body as steam flowed from his ears.
Ochakos own face adopted a light pink dusting as she watched the Jujutsu Sorcerer chew and swallow the portion shed just spoon-fed him.
Turning her body slightly, she dragged her own lunch tray toward Izuku's before popping a piece of Mochi into his mouth, doubling his blush.
The greenette chewed and swallowed, opening his mouth to speak. Before a word could escape his lips, however, an alarm blared throughout the building.
Fear.
Each student on campus felt unbridled fear, causing them to rise from their seats and frantically search for an emergency exit, trampling one another.
Bodies squished together as students shoved each other hectically in a desperate attempt to reach somewhere they deemed safe. As a result of said hectic shoving, Ochako was pressed firmly against the window,
With Izuku being pressed against her back.
The brunette scarcely had time to gain her bearings due to the close contact before she felt his breath tickle her ear when he spoke.
"Use your quirk on us, I have a plan." His voice was firm and decisive, lacking its usual stutter.
Ochako complied, pressing her fingers against her own body before reaching back and pressing them against the taller boy's stomach, slightly gasping at his muscular definition.
As the two floated, Izuku clasped his hands together, forming the shadow puppet for Divine Dogs and sending them toward the main exit the students were vehemently trying to reach. The twin dogs acted as gate guards of sorts, blocking any of the students from spilling outside and causing trouble outside.
Pouring cursed energy into his vocal cords in an attempt to amplify his voice, Izuku shouted the first thing that came to mind.
"ALL OF YOU STOP" Instantly, the entire crowd of panicking students stopped, eyes seemingly glazed over as they halted their once frantic attempts at escape.
At the same time, Izuku hacked up a large glob of blood.
"My throat feels like it's on FIRE! What happened? Did I accidentally rupture my vocal cords by pouring too much Cursed Energy into them?" Soft, padded hands caressing his jaw snapped him out of his musings. Turning toward his brunette friend, he winced at the pure concern behind her irises.
He'd been pushing himself too hard again.
Clearing his throat as painlessly as possible, Izuku turned to the still-dazed crowd and spoke raspily.
"It's just the media, if this is how UA students act facing the press, then how do we expect to face villains down with lives on the line? Return to the cafeteria in an orderly fashion and allow the Pros on campus to handle them, as they've been trained to do." With his raspy, half-choked words, the students broke from their trance and followed Izuku's orders, returning to the cafeteria and enjoying their lunches.
Ochako, on the other hand, was blushing furiously as her mind replayed the start of the panic over and over.
"H-He was pressed against m-me...I think I felt his-" Vigorously shaking the thought away, she released her quirk, sending the two to the ground before following her classmate.
"Say, Midoriya, your quirk lets you summon animals, right?"
Izuku turned to his fellow greenette, although she lacked his snow-white tips, and made a so-so motion with his right hand before explaining what exactly he'd meant.
"My quirk is Cursed Energy Manipulation. It allows me to physically enhance my body while also allowing me sub-abilities known as Cursed Techniques. My summoned animals are one of these Cursed Techniques known as the Ten Shadows Technique, same with my Six Eyes" The greenette pointed to his sky-blue eyes to further emphasize his point
By the end of his explanation, the bus had been left speechless as they marveled at the class president's quirk.
"That's so cool! Compared to that my Hardening is pretty lame." The redhead hardened his arm to punctuate his sentence, a melancholic look on his face.
Almost instantly, Izuku refuted his claim.
"Your quirk is far from lame, especially once you begin to expand upon it by thinning the amount of rock formed to increase your speed."
For the second time that bus ride, all eyes were on the class president
"Those aren't villains! GET BACK! THIRTEEN, PROTECT THE KIDS!"
After arriving at the USJ and receiving an inspiring speech from the Pro Hero, Thirteen, a smoky black portal appeared spewing countless villains into the building.
Turning to his former friend, Izuku silently motioned toward the smoky villain, instructing the blonde boy to attack alongside him. Realizing the severity of the situation alongside the lives at risk, he made no effort to reject the idea, instead, turning toward the villain and silently sparking his palm.
Izuku noticed the Cursed Energy of the warp villain spiking and saw it as his opportunity to strike.
"GREAT SERPENT!" After making the appropriate hand seal, the large snake erupted from the shadows, swallowing the villain whole.
The class breathed a sigh of relief, happy to have subdued such a tricky villain in one of their opening moves.
Until the very snake itself was warped to someplace random.
Kissing his teeth, Izuku dispelled the snake, motioning to Katsuki to follow up which he did.
Launching himself in the air, Katsuki propelled himself toward the smoky villain, changing trajectory randomly so as to avoid a potential warp before finally honing in and delivering an explosion to the villain's face.
Which went straight through him.
"I should've expected that."
"You really should have."
As soon as the words left the villain's mouth(?), a majority of class 1-A was teleported to random disaster zones across the USJ.
Getting teleported was a weird feeling for Izuku. One moment there was solid ground below his feet and the next he was falling onto a cruise ship surrounded by water-based villains.
Said villains, were currently trying to goad them into fighting them on their terms.
"YOU CAN'T STAY ON THAT BOAT FOREVER!"
"IF YOU SURRENDER WE'LL MAKE SURE TO KILL YA QUICK!"
"HOP IN, THE WATERS FINE!"
Now, normally, Izuku would be a little apprehensive about facing off against villains, but this was a special case.
They were all in the water.
And Nue has lightning-based attacks.
Flashing the hand seal for the aforementioned familiar, Nue appeared from the boy's shadow, staring down the villains with narrowed eyes.
The villains were having the time of their lives, mocking the bird and its presumed weakness.
"Shock the water, Nue."
Until he said that.
"W-WAIT! JUST SWIM BY WE WON'T DO ANYTHING WE SWEAR!"
"Y-YEAH! I DON'T WANNA GET FRIED BY A BIRD, IT'S FUNNY BUT NOT WORTH IT!"
"THE WATERS FINE! FOR REAL THIS TIME!"
Izuku, Mineta, and Tsuyu looked toward each other before nodding, swimming away from the zone as Nue charged a bold of electricity, aiming it at the water.
Upon returning to the Central Plaza, Izuku was horrified at what he saw.
The main orchestrator of the attack, known as Tomura Shigaraki, had managed to grab hold of their teacher's elbow,
Disintegrating it.
Luckily, the underground hero managed to punch the handsy villain away before he could inflict permanent damage, but the sight was demoralizing all the same.
What came next, however, was even more unsightly.
A large creature, with a muscular structure rivaling All Might himself, appeared from a portal created by the warp villain.
Faster than almost anyone could perceive, the hulking monster buried its right fist into Aizawa's stomach, folding the hero over his fist. The monster reared the hand back before raising it above its head,
And slammed its massive fist over Aizawa's head.
The warp villain sauntered his way toward its master, folding his arms behind its back before giving his boss a status update.
"Aizawa and Thirteen have been incapacitated, although, one of the students has managed to escape and, presumably, run for help. It's best we retreat for now." The handy villain began to aggressively scratch his neck before catching eyes with a fuming Izuku.
Obscured eyes met sky-blue ones, annoyed meeting utter rage, before Tomura grinned.
"You're right, Kurogiri, but first, how about we leave All Might a little present?" Sticking his hand out, he allowed it to be engulfed by Kurogiri's quirk, his destructive palm meeting the neck of,
"OCHAKO!" The brunette in question was frozen in fear as she watched the hand that destroyed her teacher's elbow make its way for her neck.
Time seemed to still as Izuku pushed his Six Eyes to their maximum, seeing not just the flow of Cursed Energy, but every muscle twitch Tomura made, every breath he took, every slight adjustment to his sight, and everything in between.
"There's no cursed energy flowing into his hands! Either he wants to grab hold of her first, or his quirk needs all five fingers to activate!" Steeling himself, Izuku made a mad dash toward Ochako, putting himself in between his classmate and the deranged villain attempting to kill her.
After making the shadow puppet for Divine Dogs, the twin canines slammed into the villain, sending him crashing into the ground.
Izuku quickly turned and hugged the terrified brunette as tightly as he could, slightly stroking her back as he felt his shoulder grow damp with her tears. As sweet as the moment was, however, there were still villains attacking.
And they wielded something supposedly as strong as All Might.
"NOMU, KILL THE CIRCUS TAMER!" As soon as the command left the villain's lips, Izuku felt his ribs crack as a fist bigger than his head embedded itself in his stomach, sending him flying.
"G-Great Serpent!" From his position on the ground, Izuku summoned his largest Shikigami, sending the snake crashing into the large creature.
It did nothing.
The Nomu grabbed hold of the serpent, tearing chunks of flesh out as he did so, before throwing it to the side.
Izuku's Six Eyes widened, hastily dispelling the Shikigami before shakily standing to his feet, blue-eyes narrowed as he studied the hulking creature.
"My Shikigami are useless against this...thing! All that leaves me with is Six Eyes which helps me predict its moves via muscle contractions, but operating at that level will render me unconscious or blind. Think, Izuku THINK!"
"You know why you aren't able to subjugate Great Serpent Izuku?" The greenette looked toward his elder brother and mentor.
Shakily standing to his feet, his sky-blue eyes met his mentor's piercing gaze as he thought over every possible reason as to why he was losing to the massive Shikigami.
"That's your problem Izuku. You think too much. Instead of thinking and doing, just do!"
"R-Right!"
Throwing his head back, Izuku stared at the sky, thankful that he'd remembered his brother's advice at this defining moment.
Tomura, curious as to why the boy had stopped fighting, motioned the Nomu to stop as he began to speak to the boy.
"What's wrong? Have you realized your weakness and accepted your death?" Tomura felt a wicked grin spread across his face as he eagerly studied the boy for any sort of reaction.
And a reaction he got.
Izuku began to giggle.
Which turned into a chuckle.
Before devolving into a maniacal cackle, eyes lowering to meet his foe before he finally spoke.
"Y'know, I have ONE more Cursed Technique up my sleeve! It'll fuck with my brain for sure but what the hell? If I die I'll do it a hero!"
Clasping his hands together, Izuku raised them above his head, breathing in deeply before activating the aforementioned technique.
Tomura began to frown, a nagging feeling in the back of his head when gazing at the now crazed teenage boy before him.
"Oh well, I'll just kill him before it gets any worse! NOMU!" The creature immediately appeared in front of Izuku, launching a massive right hook at the teen's head,
Said hook stopping inches before reaching the boy's head.
Izuku's grin widened as he coated his own fist in Cursed Energy, rearing it back.
"Surprised? This, is Limitless." Dropping his hips, Izuku snapped out his right hand, sending it into the chest of the Nomu.
Said creature unmoving.
"I'll admit, that new power of yours is tricky but I can tell it's killing you as we speak! And with my Nomu's shock absorption and regeneration, you won't be able to kill it before you end up killing yourself-"
"Divergent Fist"
The second, stronger impact seemed to have little effect to most of the spectators, but to Izuku it meant everything.
For the briefest of moments, the most minuscule of milliseconds, the Nomu received damage, a small cut opening on its chest that was healed too fast for most to see. This meant the Nomu could be hurt.
This meant Izuku could win.
Grinning maniacally, Izuku jumped up, throwing a right leg round to the Nomu's knee, ribs, and brain before he even hit the ground. Once he did, however, he switched stances to southpaw, hitting the Nomu clean in the temple with a switch hook-kick.
Although confident initially, Tomua began to worry as he watched the one-sided beatdown that occurred between a high school student and a creature genetically engineered to defeat All Might.
"No. All it has to do is last longer than that boy can and then we win."
They weren't winning.
After retrieving Playful Cloud from his shadow, Izuku released its singular form, shifting it into three sections connected by a chain. Swinging the sectioned weapon, Izuku wrapped it around the Nomu's leg, swiping it out from under him. The Jujutsu Sorcerer then re-aligned the pieces back into a staff before mounting the creature and slamming Playful Cloud into the brain of the Nomu with as much Cursed Energy as he could muster, blood flowing freely from his nose.
"DIE!" With that final shout, Izuku dug deep, pouring every ounce of his Cursed Energy into the staff before ramming it into the newly exposed brain of the Nomu.
Small red and black sparks flying through the air.
