"Alright kids, have a nice weekend and due take care on the way home. Oh Midoriya, can I speak to you for a moment?"
The class was over, the afternoon was settling upon the day. All students except one left the room. His green highlights took out of his black curly hair.
"Yes Sensei?" The young child responded after gathering his school supplies into his school bag. Thus he made his way to the front desk of his fifth grade elementary school teacher.
"I was wondering if Katsuki is starting to get a little more pushy lately, just let me know if it comes out of hand." Her concern look was dully noted to the young boy.
"I will sensei, and he isn't giving me trouble." It was fat lie. Sure he wasn't giving trouble to this Katsuki kid but he was sure as hell getting bullied by him. Although I did somewhat help that he was ignoring the rough comments and insults from his bully
"Well that's good to hear, wouldn't want him to use his quirk against another student, especially a childhood friend!"
"Yea...childhood friend." More like childhood asshole. One moment he acts like your buddy until you tell him that your quirk will not manifest and next thing you know bam. He starts to act like your superior.
"Don't let the lack of a quirk get to you Izuku, you will find something that you will be passionate about even without the use of a quirk." She reassures him.
"Sensei but what if I am passionate about is heavily reliant on quirks? What do I do then? I did ignore the doubts but I do want to become what I want to be?" The sheer doubt in his potential dream was there and never had left him since he was pronounced "quirkless." That was five years ago.
"Tell me you want to be a hero right?" The teacher ask the student. Is she going to be like the rest of them? People who will continue to put him down? Maybe, possibly, definitely. It was his dream to be a hero and he shouldn't let that stop him.
"Y-Yes. It is." His voice stuttered under the anticipation of being denied that dream once more.
"Maybe you should find other ways to become a hero."
Did he hear his teacher right? Find other ways? "What do you mean?"
"A long time ago, before quirks were ever manifested. There was a time where people used a different type of power. Revolving around magic and standard weapons during that time. They called it "Magetic". I don't know the full details but at the time almost every person knew how to wield a form of Magetic. Though there are classes that instruct the understanding of its properties although I am not sure. In my opinion if I were you I would look into many ways to limit my setbacks."
The boy was left confused yet not sadden. He himself did not know this other form of power. From what it seems, it was like a lost ability people forgot or tossed aside for something more easily attainable. Quirks.
Soon after Izuku thank his teacher. May had being the small sparkle of hope to attain his dream or maybe the info based off of these "ancient" ability.
Upon arriving home, to meet and greet his mother. Izuku rushed into his room where his laptop was settling. Hearing of dinner being served soon was death. He did not focus on that he wanted more information. His teacher did say they have class courses about Magetic but nothing else. He was determined.
After searching through multiple search engines, forms, online-documents, websites, and images. Izuku was stuck. The most he got out of this Magetic was that it indeed used forms of magic itself created by the spell caster. Though that was it. Nothing else upon weapons, or how it came to be, why it was disregarded, and when did it stop becoming noticed.
Although to Izuku's luck. He found himself a college class that was its own separated program. It was two semester class that was held three times a week. Into further depth. It was private tutoring available during other off days of the week or the professors office hours.
Speaking of professor, it seem like he was available most of days of the week except Saturday and Sunday. Looking more into it, Izuku found his name.
Ignis Stupeo Scientia.
Trying to find more about this man left Izuku with little to get from the internet. Though it did show he had the credibility to teach the subject "Magitec: Understanding and Applying."
Seeing the subject felt like a math class, yet to the the child's surprise. Comparing to other academic classes regarding anything Magetic, this was the only one that was a private program, that had a fair price.
"Izuku, Dinner is ready!" His thoughts and research was abrupt by his mother coming into the room. He left the door open in a rush to learn about Magitec that he forgot to close it.
"Right, coming mom." Izuku turn his computer chair, to face his mother before getting off his seat, the older woman walk towards the computer. "Magetic? What is that? Izuku this a college website and portal! Do you plan on telling me about this?" She ask her son in surprise to see his activity upon the desktop.
Multiple windows open at least twenty three of them. All of these had being regarded the same search: Magetic.
"Mom, I was wondering if I can go to the orientation for this class?" Izuku asked his mother for the permission to learn more about Magetic. That was his goal but he needed his mothers support.
"Well, if you want to go then I will support you." To Inko Midoriya, this was probably a way to help Izuku get over his dream of being a hero. She failed to support him and it did hurt her. No matter what it was what drives her son to do well in school. Maybe this was a chance to help heal his mind from the pain and help him see the realistic mind of reality.
After scheduling an appointment with this Professor Scientia. It was a Friday afternoon before the semester started.
"Afternoon Mrs. Midoriya, and you must be boy who wanted to learn more about Magetic." A man in his early twenties greeted the pair in his own room/office. Izuku got a good look at the man. He had dirty blonde hair while wearing a pair of eye glasses reveling his light green eyes. Above all else, he was wearing a black suit.
"Y-Yes are you professor Scientia?" Izuku asked with nervous expression and tone. The taller adult smiled down at the child. "Indeed I am, Ignis Stupeo Scientia. Though you can call me professor for short, young man."
"Alright thanks for having me professor."
Right into the orientation, more like a pre-meeting interview to get to know the teacher and student. Izuku asked most of the questions regarding the topic Magetic. Although most of these were brushed away from Ignis, thus explaining that he will show up for the sessions to learn exactly what Magetic is. With nothing left to say he agreed.
Inko, wanted to asked about funds. To her surprise Ignis was flexible with the price range for the tuition. Considering it was a private program, he did not mind to help set a reasonable price between himself and Inko.
It was a reasonable meeting as Ignis put it when they come into conclusion.
The schedule was the Izuku will show up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Extra tutoring would be available on Tuesday and Thursday. Leaving the actual days off were the weekends.
Izuku was both looking forward to learning about this old source of power from rumors and legends. Though it did held a bit of doubt if he will get anything out of this.
As the weekend came and left which started a new week. It was Monday, in afternoon heading into his first session with the professor.
"Ah Welcome Izuku, are ready to start your first lesson?" Ignis was on his desk looking over some paper work before turning his gaze to the new student. It was the sound of the door opening which brought his attention.
"Y-Yes Professor Scientia!" Izuku announced himself with a first day strong words of determination. He saw his new teacher smiled before saying else.
"Well then how about we go over what Really is Magitec?" To his response. He received a nod from Izuku.
For the next hour, Ignis was explaining the history of Magetic's true origins. Originally by an old lore of the Kings of Lucians. They hold the power to topple over armies, desolate kingdoms, and change the world. Ignis also told them how the power was wielded into thirteen Royal Arms. Weapons only the Kings of Lucis can wield. To Izuku's surprise there had been a hundred an thirteen Kings who had been able to change the world around them for the sake of their kingdom.
The Kings of Lucis. They were also known as rulers of Yore from a bloodline named Lucis Caelum.
Ignis further explains that, Magetic was created by the power of the Astrals, same as those who bestowed the power to the Kings down the line. Magetic was a form of Magic that anyone could learn to use given the time and effort to harness it.
Not trying make Izuku more confused then ever with all the history lesson. Ignis decided to continue the next session after taking in several questions.
"Professor, is there a king today that still holds the power of the Lucians?"
"Indeed, I know of him. He is an old friend of mine rather we grew up together. His name is Noctis Lucis Caelum."
Izuku was in awe that his teacher was more knowledgeable about a subject that not even the internet even provided him already. Now his own professor was claiming to be childhood friends with a King of a ancient bloodline of Power.
"Well I think that's enough for today, I hope to see you again on Wednesday Izuku."
"Yes Professor! Thanks for the lesson."
After that day, it filled up a lot of blank holes about the origins but there were still to know. Izuku couldn't wait until his next session with Ignis to learn more about Magetic.
Two days had passed and yet Izuku was still more than ever curious. His doubts were subsided due to the amazement of such power resign from the world due to time and evolution.
During this next session, Ignis explains how Magetic was used in battle in those times. By using the powers of Magic to conjure up a weapon from a personal space exclusive to that user.
Unlike the Kings of Lucis, Magetic had to be trained in order to hold more weapons due to amount of stress it puts on ones body. Izuku found himself hard to believe that weapons that appear out of nowhere were personalized to only the user. That is until Ignis conjured two daggers into his hands.
With nothing but amazement in his eyes, Izuku looked curiously at how the blades look. They were a dark shade of blue. The shape of the blade was almost unrecognizable and it doesn't even look like it was remotely close to a normal handle of a dagger.
"Professor, will I be able to do this?"
"Well, that is what this class is about. Understanding and Applying the use of Magetic."
