"So what you think we going to see next?" Denki asked.
"Probably Midoriya going to the Sports Festival. After all, he is in the League of Villains." Jiro said.
"I wonder if he going to write down Quirks from the Hero course?" Seto said.
"Probably, I meet All for One want to know every Quirks on the Hero course," Mina said.
"But this is Deku-kun we're talking about. He will write down a note on every Quirks he sees." Ochako stated.
"That is correct. Midoriya-kun is the type of person that will do that." Tenya agreed.
The portal open as Devil appear in the room, stretching his arms out as he let out a sigh. "Are we ready for the next event?" Devil asked.
"Indeed we are," Nezu said as everyone nod in agreement, wanting to know what happens next. They took their seats and grab some snacks causing the screen to turn on for the next event.
Izuku walked along slowly to the Sports Festival, he had plenty of time before it started. He wore a black hoodie, trousers and combat boots. He also wore a black scarf to try and cover his face and red contact lenses so he wouldn't be recognised by anyone. Sometimes when he went out he would see his mother out searching for him.
Izuku felt his heart shatter seeing his mother desperately searching for him. "Mom..." Izuku said with a sad expression on his face as his friend went over to comfort him.
"Don't worry Midoriya-kun. I'm sure your mother will be alright." Tenya said cheering up his friend.
"He's right, Midoriya. You shouldn't worry about your mother." Momo said.
"Your mom will be ok, Deku-kun," Ochako said cheering him up.
"Thank guys," Izuku said with a smile.
It seemed that despite all the time that had passed she believed he was still alive. Whenever he did see her he always felt guilty for leaving her without an explanation. He also occasionally felt the urge to walk over to her and come back home but he always held it back. He remembered why he left, that 'home' of his was part of the very society that rejected him, he didn't belong there, not anymore. Besides Inko was safer without him in her life, though he figured she was very lonely since his father went off to work in some other country shortly after he was born and hadn't been heard from since.
"Ok seriously... What the fuck! Why isn't your dad back in Japan?!" Kirishima shouted in anger.
"M-maybe he's busy..." Izuku said.
"I doubt it... I know an asshole father when I see it." Dabi said causing Shoto to nod in agreement. They have memories of their assholes father, Endeavor abuse them when they were little. Since then, they hold resent for what he did to them and what he did to their mother.
"But he should have at least know about your disappearance," Mina stated.
"All of you will learn about his father in this world soon." Devil said.
"Pull yourself together. You've got a mission to do," he thought.
Two nights ago he was given a mission by Sensei to go to the Sports Festival and analyse the quirks of the students participating. According to Sensei they were likely to become future enemies of the League so it was best to have knowledge on their abilities beforehand, although, Izuku got the feeling they were looking for potential members, or at least worthy quirks for Sensei to steal.
Izuku was surprised when he learned what Sensei's quirk was, he had never heard of someone being able to give others quirks before. He was only told about it because he needed to explain about All Might's quirk, which came from him. He didn't go into much detail about it though, he didn't want explain his past, or so it seemed.
Izuku continued to the Festival with his backpack full of notebooks (seven to be precise). He was going to be recording like crazy.
UA staff room
All Might was sitting alone getting ready for the Festival. He would be expected to make an appearance towards the end to present the medals to the victors. This would also be a good chance to look for a successor. This was more necessary than before since his allotted time to use One for All had been reduced to fifty minutes from his battle with Nomu.
However his mind was focused on another matter. He had spoken to Naomasa about seeing the list of quirkless people who had promised that he would be able to see it. Surprisingly enough the Government didn't place much security around or care who looked at it, which All Might found strange.
"Why the government didn't put security on the Quirkless?" Momo asked.
"They probably think that no one will look upon Quirkless due to them of not having a Quirks," Tomura replied.
"Just to show you how the government cares more about people with Quirk than Quirkless," Dabi said.
"Bunch of dumbasses if you ask me." Devil said.
Naomasa would be coming next week to talk with him as he still had a lot of work to do. All Might didn't mind though, he knew how busy his job was.
While he didn't want to believe it he had to consider the possibility that the boy he'd met nearly a year ago was Deku. They seemed so similar. If he was then it was most likely his fault for the boy's transformation. That meant he had to be the one to fix it.
However, despite his assault on Bakugo Deku had displayed certain qualities of a hero from what he had seen and heard of him. That meant that there was still hope.
"I will find out the truth," he swore. "If you are Deku then I will stop you, and I will save you."
"Save him? Aren't you the one that put him on this path?" All for One taunt with a smirk causing All Might to glare at him.
"My other self made a mistake. I'm sure he will save Midoriya-shounen from your evil hand." All Might said.
"We shall see, All Might." All for One said.
UA Sports Festival Stands several hours later
Izuku had been recording what he saw like mad. Throughout the first and second rounds he watched each of the competitors use their quirks and analysed them which wasn't very difficult. He was also able to keep up thanks to the monitors (he wasn't that fast at recording).
It was the rounds of combat that he watched intently, the competitors that had made it that far were the most skilled and dangerous. Most of the 1A group (not surprisingly Bakugo included) had made it to this round. Izuku knew each of them of course, he had looked at the list from the Unforeseen Simulation Joint enough to remember their faces. Some however stood out more than others. Shoto Todoroki was the son of the infamous hero Endeavor and possessed a quirk that allowed him to manipulate ice. Although from what Izuku had seen he clearly had inherited his father's quirk as well, though he appeared reluctant, more like repulsed, to use it, though he didn't know why. The other was Tenya Iida. Izuku recognised his family name as the one who embodied the Turbo Hero Ingenium, his quirk only added further proof.
As the battles began Izuku recorded everything he saw, how people used their quirks and their battle styles. He watched Bakugo's first fight with Ochaco Uraraka, who he recognised as the girl he'd rescued.
"Kacchan's as violent as ever I see," he thought.
"When he isn't? Bakugo is always violent." Denki said.
"It just to show him that he is a whining little brat." Devil said ignoring Katsuki's shouting.
He watched as the girl tried to fight back with her anti-gravity quirk (which Izuku was impressed with how she could use it as an offensive weapon) but was ultimately defeated. Seeing the state she was in Izuku couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, it was the same state he'd been in many times. The battles went on and on until it was Bakugo vs. Todoroki. At first Todoroki seemed to have the upper hand with his ice quirk but Bakugo managed to utilise his in a way (one that even impressed Izuku) to win him the match. For some reason though Bakugo wasn't happy with the way he had won and looked like was about to attack Todoroki (who was unconscious) until he was stopped by Midnight.
Izuku was going to leave at the presentation of medals when he noticed the state Bakugo was in. He was chained to the champion's podium where he was struggling violently to get himself free, in Izuku's mind he looked like he was about to go on a murderous rampage. Amused, Izuku couldn't help but laugh at his former tormenter's situation. He also took note that Iida wasn't there despite having qualified for 3rd place also.
It was then that All Might arrived with a big entrance and catching the audience's attention and awe. Izuku however felt contempt towards the Symbol of Peace. This had all stemmed from when he learned about his quirk.
Flashback
"Passed on? What do you mean by that?" Izuku asked confused. "Do you mean by bloodline?"
"That one way to put it." Seto laugh.
"I would have thought the same thing when I hear about One for All," Mineta said.
"It does sound logical," Momo said.
"That would be the logical idea," Sensei replied. "But no. I mean it's passed on from person to person through DNA."
Izuku was very surprised at this. He had never heard of anything like this before.
"The quirk originally came from me when I gave it to someone. That person however stood against me and passed it on to a successor to fight against me. The process has continued for several generations. As to why it came from me well my quirk allows me to take and give quirks to and from others," Sensei explained.
"That is All for One's brother," Mezo said.
"That's right, he's the one that passes his Quirk down to his successor before he die," Mina said.
"Why are you telling me this? And several generations?" Izuku asked more confused.
He couldn't understand why Sensei would just trust him with this sort of information.
"Sensei, why are you trusting him with that kind of info?" Tomura asked.
"It would be his service for what he did to the League. It is reasonable enough to know about One for All origin." All for One said.
"Considering everything you've done for the League I think you've earned the right to know. Besides the others know as well so there's no reason to keep it from you," he told the boy. "And as for the generation's part. Well I simply stole a quirk that prevented me from aging."
As Izuku processed all this information he decided to accept what he was hearing as the truth. Knowing Sensei he wouldn't joke about something like this. Then another thought came to mind.
"What is All Might's quirk exactly? You called it One for All," Izuku questioned.
"It's a quirk that stockpiles power, granting the user large boosts in strength, speed and agility," the older man explained.
"Short cut power." Devil cough causing them to look at him. "What? It true."
"If he inherited that quirk then what happened to his old one," Izuku asked curiously.
He hadn't heard of All Might doing anything other than what Sensei described, so it was either he'd lost it or just hadn't shown it yet.
All for One stared at the boy.
"Nothing," he stated. "A quirk wouldn't be affected by getting a new one. You see Izuku he used to be like you. He was quirkless."
Flashback end
Izuku had been rather angry when he found that out.
"That bastard," he thought. "Looking down on me for being quirkless when he used to be just the same."
"Karma a bitch isn't it," Devil said glaring at All Might, who look down in shame. "A former Quirkless telling a Quirkless that he can't become a hero. You're a fucking hypocrite, All Might."
"He's right, All Might. Quite a horrible thing to do to your biggest fan." All for One mock.
He couldn't believe his childhood idol had the nerve say those things to him when he used to be in the same position.
Having decided he'd seen enough he took his notebooks and left the stadium.
At the bar
"I wonder if Razor's back," he thought.
"I wonder how Razor would react to Midoriya's fight with Bakugo?" Tetsutetsu asked.
'I just hope no too bad.' Izuku thought as he shivers what kind of punishment for letting his guard down. This cause his friend to notice as they went over to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Deku-kun. I'm sure she won't punish you that hard." Ochako said.
"She's right, Midoriya-kun! She will be quite pleased that you have defeated Bakugo thanks to her training." Tenya stated.
"Thank guys," Izuku said with a smile. "But now at least I get to know her now."
"Oh yeah. Razor and that other Midoriya made a deal with each other." Denki remembered.
"I wonder what is her backstory considering that she is working with the League?" Jiro asked.
She had been away ever since the UA fight on a job for Sensei and he hadn't seen her since. It had been confirmed by Kurogiri though that she had seen the fight via recording. He had also been told that she would keep her part of the bargain, something which pleased him. He had learned a lot from her, and not just martial arts. Through her training he had become quite fluent in French and English (two languages he studied in school) from her verbally teaching him (also giving him written work). He had also improved his computer skills and had learned how to hack. He was quite grateful.
"There is always room for improvement," Nezu said.
"Right you are, Nezu. There is something you can learn every day." Devil agrees.
"She did a great job of teaching the problem child," Aizawa said.
"Not to mention teaching him French and English." Present Mic added.
"But his ability to hack is going to be a problem in the future." Power Loader said as the rest of the hero nod.
"My other self made the right choice of having Razor training Izuku." All for One said with a smile.
To his surprise Razor was at the bar, along with an armoured assailant on top of Tomura and stabbing him in the shoulders. Razor (who wore an emotionless expression) and Kurogiri were standing there like it meant nothing. Razor was no surprise but Kurogiri, Izuku would have expected him to intervene.
"Holy shit! Is that Stain!?" Denki shouted pointing his finger at the screen.
"It is! He so cool!" Spinner shouted going into his fanboy phase.
Tomura growl as he remembers their first meet each other when he going to recruit the Hero Killer into the League. But he rejected it saying that he is the worst kind of person and committed bloodshed without a cause. Tenya on the other hand glare at Stain as he's one that ended his brother's hero career when they first encounter each other. He about to take his revenge on Stain if it wouldn't for Izuku and Shoto, who open his eyes and realize his mistake. Since then, he makes sure that his fellow classmate or anyone won't follow that path that he was on.
The assailant leaped back with a destroyed knife (probably from Tomura's quirk). He didn't seem to notice Izuku's presence however. Tomura was complaining about his wounds. The other two seemed to notice Izuku.
"Welcome back Deku," Kurogiri greeted him. "I trust your mission went well."
Izuku nodded in confirmation. The assailant turned to face Izuku, having finally become aware of his presence. The assailant had bandanas covering his face, a red scarf and wore a surprised and intimidating expression.
"What the hell Razor?" he snarled. "You kids join this psycho group."
"He and Razor know each other?" Izuku asked.
"He and Razor know each other," Izuku thought.
"Echo." Devil said causing some of the audience to laugh as Izuku blush and sink into his chair.
"But seriously how did they know each other?" Jiro asked.
"He's my student," she replied simply. "A runaway the League took in. I told you about him Stain."
Stain stared at Izuku for a moment before turning to Tomura.
"You. We are opposites yet we seem to have the same goal. I have seen it in your eyes. They say those at deaths door reveal their true colours. Even you have a creed you follow within you. Like me you are working to destroy the current society," Stain explained.
Tomura looked at Stain like he was a mad man. Before he could say anything Razor intervened.
"Tomura, Kurogiri, he isn't going to join. His and your ideals just don't mix. So let it go." Izuku stared at Razor.
Something wasn't right. Normally she would have full on attacked this guy, yet here she was being reasonable. She was smiling also, genuinely. Izuku couldn't ever remember her smiling except with sadism.
"Ok, who is she and what did she do to the real Razor?" Denki asked.
"She the real Razor. The only reason she like this is... Well, I'll let her explain it." Devil said.
"Since you're here though I have a favour to ask if you'll follow me?" she asked politely.
The villain grunted and followed her out of the bar.
"Okay would someone tell me what the hell is going on?" he asked as he took out one of his regeneration drugs (he always kept a few with him just in case).
"It always good to be prepare." Devil said.
"Expectantly when you have regeneration drugs," Aizawa said.
"Really wish we have that." Present Mic said.
He then injected Tomura with it causing the villain to heal quickly. Kurogiri quickly briefed him on the situation. Stain was the notorious hero-killer who had been eliminating various hero's he came across. Due to his combat experience they had wanted him to join the League but Stain took an instant disliking to Tomura saying he's the type he despises most and tried to kill him. Tomura was still pissed about what Stain had said and stormed out for a walk.
While izuku understood the situation there was something still bothering him.
"Kurogiri what's up with Razor?" he asked. "She was acting odd. By that I mean she wasn't being violent, wasn't swearing and was smiling in an unsadistic manner."
"I actually don't know. She has some sort of history with Stain she says," he replied honestly.
Their conversation was interrupted by the two villains return.
"Well now that that's settled Deku tonight you'll be going out with Stain, and then you'll be spending the entire week with him. This will be a sort of educational experience for you as there's a few things you can learn from him," Razor explained. "Also you could use a small break from the League."
"You're going to learn something from Stain!? I'm so jealous!" Spinner shouted causing Izuku to nervously chuckle.
Tenya shaking in anger as Stain going to train Izuku his method and ideas. This cause Shoto and Izuku to stare at their friend's worry as the event is going to be different.
"Huh," Izuku and Kurogiri shouted in unison.
"But Razor I-", he started.
"Don't worry there will be no killing. Stain has agreed to put his crusade on hold for a week," she told him.
"She did what?!" Mineta shouted as they are surprised that Razor got Stain to hold of his killing for a week.
"How did she that?!" Sato asked.
No one said anything for a minute.
"Razor just what kind of relationship do you have with this guy that he would just agree to it. A few minutes ago he was ready to kill Tomura," Kurogiri asked curiously.
"Stain here's a friend of mine, something I have very few of," she stated simply.
"WHAT!?" The audience is in quite a shock as Stain and Razor are friends with each other.
"She's a friend with the Hero Killer!?" Spinner shouted in shock.
"When did this happen?!" Mina asked.
They couldn't believe what they'd just heard. Razor had friends. There was barely anyone she could stand to be around.
"You're both wondering how this is possible right. While it's true there are very few people I can stand, there are fewer I call friend. Now Stain and me, we tried to kill each other a lot in the past but eventually came to respect each other's skill and became friends through fighting," she explained.
"That's how she makes friends. Through death matches," Izuku and Kurogiri thought in unison.
"Who the hell become friends when they training to kill each other?!" Mt. Lady asked.
"A few crazy people that I know." Devil said as the one person come in mind yelling, 'Kiryu-chan!'
Then they reminded themselves that this was Razor.
"I've already gotten permission from Sensei so it's alright Deku," she told him.
"She got sensei to approve of this?" Tomura said shock.
"She must have done a great job to the League if she has gotten that," Kurogiri said.
"But it would be interesting to see how much he will improve." All for One said with interest.
Izuku stared at Stain again who looked at him intimidatingly.
"Don't worry kid. Everything's as Razor put it," he grunted. "I'll see you tonight at 8."
Knowing he was in no position to refuse Izuku nodded begrudgingly.
"May I know what your quirk is first though? If I'm going to work with you I'd like to know what you can do. Razor you too, you promised you'd tell me everything," Izuku stated.
This cause class 1A (expect Izuku and Katsuki) and Inko to chuckle as Izuku always ask people about their Quirks.
"Still the same," Ochako said with a smile.
"That one problem that you need to work on that, kid. Something people won't tell you about your Quirks." Devil said.
"I will. However you just reminded me of something," she said walking over to him.
Before he could react Razor flipped and connected a kick with his head. Izuku fell to his knees.
"During your fight you turned your back on the enemy, in doing so you almost died. Make sure it won't happen again you little shit," she scolded.
"And she's back," Izuku thought.
"As for my quirk," she said while facing Izuku.
Multiple blades of different sizes and shapes emerged from her body, not tearing her clothes.
"I can manifest blades from any part of my body. One of which is sharp and strong enough to cut All Might," she explained.
"Mine is bloodcurdle which lets me paralyse my enemy by tasting their blood, it varies with blood type though," Stain piped in.
"There, are you happ-" Razor stopped.
Izuku was rambling like an insane person at an asylum. She, and even Stain, found it weird.
"Ok, that weird," Dabi said as the League and some Pro Heroes nodded in agreement.
"Is he always like this?" Kamui Wood asked.
"You have no idea." Class 1A, Inko, and the U.A. staff said.
"Deku what the fuck are you doing?" she asked.
"Oh that's right you've never seen Deku in his state," Kurogiri said. "Whenever he sees a quirk he starts thinking of its uses, weaknesses and ways to improve it."
"Well whatever, when he snaps out of this tell him to get some rest for tonight. And send Stain to where he needs to go," Razor told the mist villain before leaving.
By the time Izuku had finished Razor and Stain were gone and Kurogiri was staring at him patiently.
The screen ended as everyone got off from their seats. This have gotten everyone interesting as Izuku is going to be trained by the Hero Killer, Stain.
"So Midoriya is going to learn something from the Hero Killer," Denki said.
"I wonder what he going to teach him." Toga wonder.
"Probably his cool move." Spinner said with excitement.
"Now before I leave. There's going to be someone joining us." Devil said causing everyone to be confused.
"Who is it, Devil-san?" Nezu said causing Devil to smile.
"You already know the answer." Devil said as a flash of light appear in the room and drop the person. This got everyone to widen their eyes in shock and fear as the one person is in the room with them.
"Where am I?" Stain asked.
