Chapter Four

Izuku stared in disbelief at what was before him.

Toshinori-tousan told him to meet him at Dagobah beach to finish getting rid of the trash and scrap that remained there.

So, when Izuku arrived at the beach, he was surprised to see the piles of trash remained the same size from two months earlier. He had thought that people would've added on to it.

"Surprised shounen?" Toshinori asked, walking up beside him, "I had the feeling that you would be."

"How-why?" was all Izuku could say.

"My boy, before you went back to school, Hisana cast a spell over the beach. Anyone with intent to throw their trash here was 'convinced' to take it to the recycling centre," he explained to his successor.

"Is that why the piles are still the same size?" Izuku asked, once he got his bearings back.

"Of course!" Toshinori told him, "While it would be good for you in strength and endurance, allowing people to keep piling the garbage is not only harmful, but would push back Gran Torino's training as well," he said with a shiver.

Toshinori was already terrified of him enough, he didn't want to give Sorahiko an excuse to give "remedial lessons" to him, much less him and Izuku.

Once was enough in the poor man's opinion.

"Hisana will also be monitoring your training as well," Toshinori added, "While I trust you to stick to the training regime Young Izuku, food temptation can be deadly," he said wisely.

It was very well known about Izuku's love for katsudon, especially if it was made by his mother. After telling her how he was training her son, Inko started to limit Izuku's intake of his favourite dish, much to his horror.

However, the training at Dagobah beach, and dieting for those months paid off, resulting in Izuku losing much of his baby fat and giving him a swimmer's build. Though to some people's (Shouto, Hitoshi, etc.) inner relief, he still retained his baby face.

(AN: I honestly can't imagine a chisel faced Izuku as kid or an adult, I just can't.)

Speaking of Shouto and Hitoshi.

There was an ongoing bet between a few of them on who would confess first. Hisana and Tsuki had bets on Izuku being jumped by both within a year.

But back to the story.

Izuku pouted but didn't complain. He knew that if he complained, his training would become a lot worse.

So, he shoved away those thoughts and started to move some of the scrapyard junk that remained on the beach.

Izuku was so immersed in his work, he didn't even realise it was noon until he felt a tap on his shoulder. Looking behind him, he was surprised to see All Might holding out a bento for him.

"Take five for a moment my boy, even heroes-in-training need to eat," All Might commented as Izuku stopped working to enjoy lunch.

All Might changed back into Toshinori and looked around him. So far, Izuku has done a great job cleaning up the beach, close to looking like before the trash. It would be a great place for him and Hisana to visit in the summer.

Looking back at Izuku, he could already notice that he was getting stronger. Some of the old appliances that would take three grown men to carry, he was able to push towards the pickup truck.

Overall, he was making excellent progress.

A few months later…

Izuku had done it.

Panting tiredly, Izuku shouted in happiness. After all these months, and the beach was finally clean. Originally, Toshinori had him clean half of the beach, but Izuku didn't want to do this half-ass, he wanted to completely clean it.

Just as he calmed down, he heard a familiar voice shout, "Oh my GOODNESS!"

The exhaustion and unexpected voice caused Izuku to fall from where he stood, but thankfully he was caught by All Might.

"Are you alright, Izuku?" Hisana asked upon reaching the pair.

"I'm fine…just tired," Izuku told her, "I did it…I actually did it!"

"Very true young Izuku," All Might said as he brought out his phone, "Take a look at this," he said, showing Izuku a photo of himself.

"This was you before I started training you, and now…" he said as he came to a recent picture of him, "This is from three minutes ago!"

"You have done extraordinary Izuku, I am proud of you," All Might told him.

"Thank you, sensei, it feels like I cheated though," Izuku told him with tears in his eyes, "Getting all this help from you and everyone, I've been blessed."

"No Izuku, you're wrong, this is because of your own efforts," Hisana explained as All Might changed into Toshinori.

"She's right Izuku. All of this," he said looking around here, "Was because of your hard work and determination."

"And you know what they say, there's a difference between being born with a silver spoon and working your butt off to earn it," All Might added.

"Take that to heart, young Izuku. "You've earned this power, fair and square," he finished as he yanked out a piece of hair in front of Izuku.

"Now…EAT THIS!" All Might said, giving Izuku the strand of hair.

…

…

…

"…What?" Izuku could only say.

"In order to receive One for All, you must ingest DNA from the current holder. Believe me kid, it wasn't easy when I was your age," All Might reminisced, remembering when Nana had him eat a strand of her hair.

Izuku looked at the hair with dread. He really didn't want to eat hair. It was bad enough he got a mouthful of Kage's fur when the dog had nailed him with his tail on accident, now this?

Bracing himself, Izuku quickly swallowed the hair and held back from vomiting. Apparently, his sensei had taken a shower recently because the hair tasted like soap.

"*Choke* What now sensei?" he asked.

"With the modifications I did to Toshi, he would keep a copy of One for All, and you would have the original quirk. You should be feeling something once your stomach digests the hair," Hisana explained.

It took about an hour before Izuku felt something inside him. It felt like a giant ball of energy just waiting to burst forth. Pulsing red lines like veins started forming from his arm to his wrist and finally on his fist.

"I can feel it," he said to the adult pair, "I can feel One for All."

"My goodness," All Might said, "It took a few days before I felt it for me."

"Everyone's different Toshi," Hisana explained, "It sometimes take a person longer or shorter to adapt to change."

"What happens now?" Izuku asked, once the red veins disappear.

"Now I step in gaki," a grouchy old voice says, causing the trio to look behind them, revealing Gran Torino.

"Gr-Gran Tor-ino," Toshinori stuttered at the sight of his old mentor.

"It seems today's my lucky day, I was going to have Izuku train with me for a few months after your done," Sorahiko stated as he got closer, "At least I can teach him to harness OfA now."

"What?!" Izuku shrieked, "Why this soon?"

"In order to master OfA, the holder has to be physical and mentally fit to wield. It took Nana several months to get use to the quirk. You have a few months until the entrance exams, so let's go gaki," Sorahiko told him.

"What about my Mom? I can't go without telling her," Izuku protested.

"Actually Izuku," Hisana piped in, "Inko already knows and sent a bag to Torino's place. She did say to come home every weekend though to visit."

"Well kid, it looks like it's you and me now," Sorahiko said ominously as he dragged Izuku towards the train station.

"SENSEI! HISANA! HELP!" Izuku shrieked as he was taken away.

"See you later Izuku!" Hisana chirped as they disappeared.

Turning to Toshinori, she found him in a catatonic state. Apparently having his former teacher slash tormentor visit was too much for the poor man.

"Oh Toshi," she lamented as she carried her husband's body using magic, "What am I going to do with you?"

Author's Note: You'll likely find some way to wake him up Hisana. The man does love his movies. Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed this new instalment of Changes of Fate.
