Hey guys ! Before you start readings this chapter I have a few things to say, first at this time this chapter hasn't been checked by Victini1412 my beta, they are currently graduating (Congratulation again !) And at this time they are unavailable, I'm publishing this chapter now so you do not have to wait another month ^^, I'll update the chapter once it's corrected, in it's current state not many things will change.

Also, shoutout to the guy who doesn't have the balls to use an account to make reviews, suck it, I disabled guest reviews (sorry for the others)

Enjoy !

You know, I discovered fanfictions in 2017, by that I mean I read my first one in 2017, I was playing undertale and I got caught in all it's AUs ... but then I wanted more, and I kind of discovered fanfictions like this.

And then my brilliant brain built up this idea : "Wait ... is there more ?"

I always thought that fanfictions were some twilight stuff between male characters (obviously it's not true ... well I won't talk about the 10 000 Izuki X Bakugo X Shouto out there ^^') but I was wrong, I found more than I could ever hope to discover.

At some point I wasn't satisfied with what I was reading, I wanted to have my own point of view, so I wrote my first fanfiction a villain Izuku called "In a lightning", which is now deleted and burning in hell, then I wrote another one called "where the angels stand" ... it was way better, but still terrible so it got deleted, then there was "Last string" ... I will not talk about this one either.

BUT THEN

THERE

WAS

Prohibited power

And you guys ... you guys are crazy, you brought this story to over 1000 followers, and over 150 000 views ... I don't even deserve that much, I'm just a guy who got inspired and copied the same idea of someone else multiple times until it worked.

I'm not original. Yet you guys got interested and slowly you helped me to build this story.

I can never thank you enough.

Your doctor, Griffin Strange.

Things went back to normal (mostly) Izuku had planed a few things during his last week of "internship", first he needed to repair his helmet, he just had to send it back to the support company affiliated to U.A., second he needed to make a few changes to his costume, his experience in Hosu gave him a few ideas to make it more polyvalent, and lastly he had to help Eri with her quirk.

The changes and the reparation of his costume could wait, at this time he had another priority. Izuku had locked himself on his bedroom to make a very important and pricey call with Sensei.

"Do you mind to explain everything again ? I'm awake since a few minutes ago and I have a terrible headache so please speak slowly, I understood you talked about a time travelling quirk" So apparently All for One didn't listen at all.

"Yeah ... I'll make it simple this time, Eri's quirk can "rewind" things, yesterday she practiced on a broken clock and she managed to fix it ! She turned it back to the way it was month ago, do you understand what it means ?" All for One didn't answer so Izuku ccontinued"We could heal you ! You could finally be able to see and-"

"I'm afraid this will not be possible for some time"

...

"B-but why ?"

"Did Eri stop because she was exhausted or because she had done enough with her quirk ?" As Izuku did not gave any sign of answer Sensei knew he was right "She is too young to use her quirk to such an extent, and do not even talk about borrowing her quirk, she is just too young to experience that, her body hasn't fully developed yet, even if we managed to take her quirk without injuring her think about what would happen if her body stopped growing correctly because her quirk went missing even for a few minutes"

"Then- ... Sensei don't tell me there is nothing we can-"

"I said it would not be possible for some time, I never said that when Eri will be a little more grown up we wouldn't be able to try this out ... but- ... yes I have to admit, being able to see again would be ... yes thay would be fantastic"

"Can you at least come and see Eri ? Her quirk isn't really ... stable if I may say"

"It hurts her ?"

"A lot apparently, she was still awake at 2 AM in the morning and she woke me up three hours later because her hands were hurting and burning"

"... I would have say it's a quirk ever use but it's different. Perhaps ... if they were using her to make their drug then ... Izuku we do not have all the answers but if they used Eri's quirk then we can only wonder what she has been through physically, the Yakuzas must have "destabilised" the mutation linked to her quirk ... I cannot come right now, so for now make sure that Eri keeps using her quirk like she did yesterday, shorts sessions, no more than five for one day. If she looses control stop her before anything happens and if ANYTHING strange happens call me back"

"Y-yes, thank you Sensei, also I-" Izuku was about to ask questions about his costumes when All for One hung up "Oh comon ... well, it looks like I will be on my own for now"

A week later, U.A.'s infirmary.

"So ... it's true ?" Toshinori's hands were cold, and so was the atmosphere in the room.

"I'm sorry but yes, I clearly see two different sorts of quirk factors, one is linked to your D.N.A. while the other isn't- ... I mean, look it's One for All, I'm not here to make experiments" Recovery Girl handed to All Might a bunch of graphs on which she had highlighted some differences "But here the truth either you accept it and live with it or you- ... well I don't even see why it's such a big deal"

Grand Torino was also present, Naomasa couldn't come as he had urgent work to do "Look Chiyo, Toshi suddenly made some sort of crazy theory in which Nana would have chosen him because his quirk was perfect to contain One for All, from that point of view it's not so simple to accept it"

"... Wait- ... Toshinori what are you thinking ?! Nana would never do such a thin-"

"How many ? How many users didn't have a quirk ... each of them had a quirk to use along One for All, I am not an exception. I understand if Nana decided to hide the true reason as to why she chose me but- ... perhaps she wanted me to be different, to see more in the people around than just what they are" All Might thought again about the night at the hospital with Izuku "I'm not even different from the others ..."

Recovery girl checked her watch "Well your class is starting soon now stop all this nonsense ! You are the symbol of peace ! Act like one !"

U.A. corridors, in front of class 1-A.

Izuki wasn't feeling good, since the sport festival he didn't really felt proud of going to U.A. anymore. Knowing that your teatchers don't even want to see you around isn't helping to make you fell comfortable when you have to deal with your lies ...

He entered as early as possible, if he ended up being one of the last person to join the class like during the first day he would draw to much attention toward him.

"Izukuuuuuu !" Something soft bumped behind him and soon Izuku found a pair of arms entwined around his neck "It's so good to see you again !" It was Ochaco, she had used her quirk to float toward him and sp she reduced the noise, Izuku didn't feel anything either with All for One since he was lost in his thoughts.

"H-hey Ochaco" She deactivated her quirk as she was still hanging around Izuku, almost making him fall head first toward the ground.

"So ! Tell me everything ! How was the rest of your internship ?"

"Oh ... well technically I didn't finish it, and it's not like I would have been able to help a lot. Remember this guy with explosive paste ? Apparently there was a whole private safe deposit company who got infiltrated and-" Izuku stopped before started a long muttering monologue "Let's-let's just say this story was going deeper than anyone would have thought, I ended up dodging all the paperwork behind this case"

"Paperwork ?"

"Yes, reports, legal stuff and ... wait why are we the ones supposed to fill this up ? The police should be investigating on this kind of things"

Ochaco raised her shoulders as an answer "So ... you didn't do anything special last week ?"

"Oh I did a lot actually, I helped Eri with-..." Nailed it Izuku, literally nailed it.

"Who is Eri ?" For some reason Ochaco sounded very cold now, Izuku couldn't understand that it was jealously of course.

"Sh-she is my little sister"

"Oh you have a sister ! You never mentioned her"

"It's- ... complicated, but technically she is my sister yes, she uh ... she arrived here a few d-days ago and we are figuring out how to send her to school but my mother and I do not really agree on this subject"

"Why ? I mean ... is something wrong ?"

"School was literal hell for me, I just want to avoid repeating the process with Eri. If anyone hurts her I'm going after them, and then I might show them even a hero can bless than human" Izuku had a creepy grin from Ochaco's point of view, from his point of view he was trying to smile despite the fear.

"A-anything else ?" Asked Ochaco trying to move on.

"Oh ... I had to sent back my costume for repairing and I learnt a new trick ! Or rather I figured it out"

"Wow ! It sounds cool ! Can you show me ?"

"Uh ... it's not possible if you aren't using your quirk directly" Izuku was as suggestive as possible.

"... ohhhhhh I see ... then you will "show" me later"

"I hope I can hehehe, what about you ? What did you learn during your internship-"

Ochaco brought her right fist against the palm of her left hand "I learnt how to wreak faces and crush backs"

...

"W-wait really ?!"

Ochaco rubbed the back of her head akwardly "Technically that's how Gun Head phrased it ! But-but it's really not about hurting an opponent, just restraining him and ... yeah actually there is a part were he taught me how to REALLY hurt my opponent if he wiggles to much"

"Are we even allowed to learn AND use this ?"

"Don't worry, I would never do that to you" Ochaco giggled.

"I hope so, it doesn't sound like something you want to experience ... say, what is your hero name ? I heard you all picked one before the internships"

"Ah yes ! Mine is Uravity"

"A mix between your family name and your quirk, I love it !"

"Thank you, what about yours ? Have you made your choice ?"

"I- ... I did, it was kind of hard, I know most heroes won't appreciate it and perhaps I will be forced to change it later but ... I want to be All for One"

Ochaco looked confused "You want to use- ... why not, you are the only one who can decide what your hero name is, though I do see why it could be problematic ... is it because of-" Ochaco gestured at Izuku's hand.

"Oh ... well yes and no, All for One, those words mean a lot to me, it means I would do anything necessary to do something, just like I will do everything I can to become a hero"

"I never thought you could be poetic"

"Does it sound that romantic ?" Asked Izuku with a dead panned expression.

"I'm just messing with you, we should go in now ...oh wait one question, I don't mean to bother you but ... what about All Might ?"

"Oh ... just like the disciplinary council I suppose, it went"

A few minutes later.

Izuku couldn't tell how much his classmates had evolved, but one thing was certain they were "different" especially Katsuki who know looked like an idiot with his hairs who suddenly decided to live their own live.

Shoto and Tenye were extremely quiet, the last week of their internship went without trouble but the other students from class 1-A kept talking about Stain and the attack of the League.

Izuku wasn't targeted by their question, his presence went unnoticed thankfully.

"... it feels weird, a few weeks ago I was about to get expelled and now I'm back in class with even more troubles on my back"

"Oh comon cheer up, we will be on holidays soon"

"Do heroes even have real holidays ?"

The door of the classroom swung open, no one had forgotten Aizawa's way of making his entrance, in only one second everyone was back in their seats and ready to work "Good, I must say for once you are efficient. I'm glad the internships had a lasting effect in you ... anyway, I won't be teaching this morning, you will join All Might at Playing ground Gamma in a few minutes but before thay would like to point out that your comrade Izuku is back ... but of course most of you already noticed. Also, Izuku, I need to know which heri name you chose, unless you haven't decide anything yet"

Izuku stood up to talk "Actually I did"

"Good, let's get done with this then" Aizawa took out a small paper sheet and a pen "Go on"

"My hero name is All for One"

Aizawa started writing but as soon as he completed the first letter his pen made a brutal change of trajectory as the pro hero realised what he was about to write "This better be a bad joke or else-"

"It isn't, this is the name I chose ... is there a problem ?' Izuku stared blankly at Eraser Head.

"... Come back here after the afternoon classes, we will discuss about your hero name, there appears to be a small problem and I'm sure you are aware of it ... go get dressed now"

Playing ground Gamma, a few minutes later.

"This name is such a big deal ?" Ochaco couldn't really under Aizawa's reaction, despite Izuku's revelation she never thought such a name could bring up to this kind of events.

"Have you heard of Harry Potter ? It's a collection of movie"

"Hum ... oh yeah ! My grandparents used to have some of them ... I don't really remember the story"

"It's not important, you see there is this one bad guy called uh ... Voldemort ? Anyway, all the sorcerers avoid to use his name because they are scared or they just want to forget about him. All for One is like the bogeyman for heroes."

"Do you think they will allow you to use it then ?"

"I can always try to insist a bit" Izuku and Ochaco walked away from the main group of the class, they discovered the Playing ground gamma was a gigantic industrial maze made out of pipes, the only other place in which they would have seen such a construction would be a video game.

"... Are we going to fight again around this place ?" Asked Ochaco already fearing to be against Katuski once again.

"NO ! TODAY WE WILL BE DOING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !" A strong voice announced above the group as they entered inside the facility. A figure limped in the air and landed in front of the class "I hope you have learnt a lot during your internships ! This morning we will be racing !" All might explained the rules of the exercises, the usage of quirks was of course authorization, but the students were not allowed to directly use their quirk against someone else to get an advantage "Understood ? ... Great ! I will now pick five of you to start ... let's see ... Tenya, Ojiro, Mina, Hanta and ... Izuku"

Izuku was actually surprised, at first he thought All Might would try to make groups with equivalent levels of mobility, so being picked was a complete surprise. No one without a quirk adapted for this kind of environment would be able to catch up with them ... but Izuku had something way better in reserve.

"You see this tower ? You will start here, and then you will have to join me at this tower ! You have five minutes to get prepared !" Tenya, Ojiro, Hanta and Mina didn't waste any time running to the tower.

All Might and the rest of the class started heading to the end tower but Ochaco stayed behind "W-Well ... good luck I guess"

"Yeah ... this is going to be messed up, but remember ! I told you I had a new trick ! It's the perfect occasion to try it out ! Just watch carefully, I'm sure you will understand" Izuku started hearing to the start tower.

From the end tower the student stares betting on who would win the race.

"Tenya should be the quickest but be can't just go in a straight line ... I would say Hanta" Commented Momo.

"Yeah but Hanta has to aim with his quirk, he might lose more time, now if I had to pick between Mina and Ojiro ... arg it's hard, both of them doesn't seem to be advantaged by the situation" added Denki.

"I would pick Izuku" an akward silence followed Ochaco's choice, even All Might seemed distracted while he was preparing the first race "What ? ... he isn't more or less disadvantaged no ?"

From behind the group an angry voice didn't agree "That quirkless trash is going to lose, he won't even make it to the tower" Katsuki ended receiving cold glares. Most noticeably from Ochaco and All Might.

"just you wait to see what the "quirkless trash" can do"

A few days ago.

"Uh ... Mom it's- ... it's kind of hard to ask you this but, can I try something ?"

Inko was helping Eri to put on her new clothes gifted by Sensei, he had sent a beautiful green dress matching Inko's hair color. The little girl got used to smile since Izuku had started to help her practice with her quirk.

"Yes of course ! How can I help you ?"

"Hum ... can you ... like grab something using your quirk ?"

Inko blinked a few times "You are going to use-"

"It-it's safe don't worry, I just want to confirm a theory"

Inko shrugged and started pulling the TV remote toward her, Eri didn't understand what was happening, the remote started floating in a irregular way toward Inko and Izuku just kept staring at her.

And at some point the remote wasn't moving toward Inko anymore, it ended up falling down, she looked confused. "W-what ? But I- ... Izuku you didn't take my-"

"No I didn't, but I disturbed it ... I- ... uh it's hard to explain but, I thought about how I can detect quirks around me if I'm focused enough, and I was wondering if perhaps I could do more than that. I'm not directly interacting with a quirk and yet It's-it's like I can push it for a moment"

"Ohhhh ... that's why I felt cold for a moment, I'm happy you still manage to find new uses for your quirk"

"Th-thank you ... but- ... I'm not sure it's always a good thing, recently I tend to lose control again, I don't know if it's because I'm over using it or not using it enough. In Hosu I-I got caught by the moment, the adrenaline, I wasn't even using it, it just came out to "show off". Now I always fear what could happen if someone noticed even the tiniest detail and-and-"

Eri tugged Izuku's pant "Y-you lose control like me ? Are you scared ?"

Izuku smiled and grabbed the little girl in his arms "Of course I'm scared, everyone is scared of something, and perhaps that's why Iose control, because sometimes I forget my fears"

"Good luck everyone ! Let's do our best !" Tenya didn't change, he was still the same polit knight in shinning armor.

"See you at the end tower" Mina got in position next to the others.

Izuku knew he would have to give his best no matter what happens, but he still felt bad, using All for One on his classmates felt like cheating but ... in a way Ochaco was watching and he had to admit being first in this race would REALLY be great.

A screen made a buzzing sound next to them, and a countdown appeared, they had ten second to get ready.

"Try to he here for lunch" taunted Hanta.

"Oh you wanna do it this way ?" Mina humorously glared at him.

The countdown reached zero, Tenya easily took the lead thanks to his quirk but Hanta was gaining on him, Mina and Ojiro were right behind but they were too occupied to get past the other to focus on actually winning the race. Izuku was way behind everyone, it wouldn't say it was hard making his way through the pipes and the industries structures but at this rate he would be the last one to reach the end.

He had a clear view over Tenya and Hanta, so he focused ...

"What's up rocket man ? Can't catch up with me-"

Click ... click click ... clickclickCLICKCLICK, no tape was coming out anymore, Hanta lost his balance and ended up flying straight into a fake building.

Tenya was stunned, perhaps he thought about going to check on Hanta but the race was more important, plus the tape student was probably just fine. Tenya encountered a complex pipe section so he tried to activate his quirk in order to lunge above it but for some reason the same problem happened, he jump but his quirk wasn't activating it at least not correctly.

"What is happening ?!" Tenya panicked, his quirk activated again but this time he wasn't able to control it out of confusion, he ended up leaving his original track and falling down just like Hanta.

Izuku had taken the lead.

For now. Mina and Ojiro didn't miss what just happened, they were as speechless as the people watching from the end tower. Only Ochaco could have a faint answer to what was happening ... and she sort of liked this.

Mina and Ojiro were gaining on Izuku, he couldn't use All for One again or it would be too suspicious, he had to find another solution ... something they would never be able to anticipate ... of course, it puts everyone to the same level.

Izuku stops and puts his hear against the pipe he is walking on "No way ! That's perfect !" He tears off a pipe from a near section and starts repeatedly hitting the pipe he his walking on with it.

"Hey what are you doing ?" Mina was already smelling Izuku was preparing something fishy.

"Brace for the impact !" Izuku didn't know a lot in physics but he and Sensei had talked a lot about travelling in space, and they could spent hours talking about this. At the moment the subject of the day was pressure, what happens to a whole structure when there is a sudden change of pressure ?.

The pipes looked old, barely attached to each others, izuku almost tripped because ome of them fell under his feet a minute ago.

CRACK.

The strong spray of water which got out from the pipe made Izuku drop his pipe, now he had to run before the chain reaction starts. He didn't even took ten step away that already he heard another crack, and just two second after a others followed. He was right, U.A. was really doing everything PLUS ULTRA. These pipes were filled with water and technically they were really working, but maintenance was not Nezu's priority around here, so just a simple scratch could ruin the whole structure ... this is actually how most disasters happen.

"Wowowow !" Ojiro didn't even try to follow Izuku, it was too late for Mina, she was just a few meters behind Izuku before the structure started collapsing, she barely managed to turn back.

"Damn it ! I have to make a great detour now ! CURSE YOU IZUKU !" Mina's cursing made Izuku laught out loud, he slowed down a bit, his victory was assured, he wouldn't take the risk to trip again.

Looking back at the race, it wasn't supposed to last for a long time, there was only about two hundreds meters between the two towers. In a real situation the heroes would rather be cooperating instead of being in competition ... so Izuku did make his friends job harder by destroying the main way.

But from another point of view he did dominate them without even relaying only on All for One, he chuckles, he feels just like a villain who made a successful escape.

"C-CONGRATULATION MIDORIYA ! YOU ARRIVED FIRST !" Izuku was welcomed by All Might's booming voice ... and the stunned looked of his other comrades, the only exceptions being Ochaco would seemed to barely be holding back her existent and Katsuki on the verge of exploding.

All Might kept staring at Izuku, the teen didn't have the fainter idea of what he was supposed to understand "A-Anyway ! Remember this race ! Izuku just showed you that quirks doesn't make all the work for you ... especially when you can't even use it properly" All Might turned back to check on the other students who were still trying to figure out a way to reach the end and rubbed his chin "That's not really what I expected I'm gonna have to investigate all of this-uh, where was I... ah yes ! I completely forgot to tell you the end of term test will take place tomorrow so you have all this afternoon to prepare-"

"WHAT ?! HOW DID YOU FORGET TO TELL US THIS ?!" Was the synthesised reaction of the class.

"Actually I wasn't prepared either, but note this is just the practical test, the written tests will start the next week. We are making this change after the events from the U.S.J. and-" All might glanced at Izuku and Tenya "Just make sure to be prepared everyone ! A hero must always be ready for anything ! We will finish this exercise and then you will be allowed to train here for the rest of the day ... unless you can't survive km day without eating hahaha, Now for the next group ..."

Izuku wasn't listening, the events in Hosu must have had more impact than he thought ... perhaps he should ask Sensei about- He felt a hand in his shoulder.

"Izuku that was amazing, did you use that new trick you talked about ?"

"Ah ! Y-yes I did ... a little, but it's technically not cheating since well I-I mean no one complained because they couldn't-"

"Hahaha don't try to find any excuses, you won because you were smarter, I wonder against who I will be racing"

"It shouldn't be too hard for you, with your quirk you can go straight to tour destination if you accumulate enough speed before activating it"

"I'm more scared about losing my balance or getting sick than my own speed, actually I thought about using a mix of the movements I learnt with Gun Head and my quirk, k-kind of l-like you" Ochaco ended up blushing and so did Izuku who started aggressively rubbing the back of his head to keep the words flowing out from his mouth.

"I-I'm sure it's going to work, if-if you think it's the right solution then it will work for sure"

Izuku and Ochaco were so taken away by their conversation that they didn't notice All Might trying to call Ochaco, the symbol of peace gave up after a few attempts and Ochaco was replaced by Momo.

After the racing exercise.

Izuku and Ochaco were on their way to have a quick lunch, they were authorized to use ground Gamma for the rest of the day while class 1-B would use ground Beta, apparently they decided that the end of term exam would surely be about fighting robots again. Izuku had to agree this would be surprising.

"What's on your mind ?" Interrupted Ochaco.

"I was thinking about the exam tomorrow ... the written part shouldn't be a problem but the practical part ... if they gave us the whole afternoon to train then it means we will have to use quirks"

They were alone for now so Ochaco kept talking "Then it shouldn't be a problem- ... oh, robots yes"

"Robots yes indeed, you heard about the rumour too"

"Everyone did, it started before we even picked our internships, so what will you do to fill up this afternoon gap ?"

"... I'm not sure, perhaps I will just be watching, yes that sounds like a plan, I could even go and take some notes, I haven't completed all my notes yet"

"Who isn't fully analyzed yet ?" Ironically asked the girl "Oh wait let me guess ... hum, I would say Shoto annnnnnd ... Momo"

"Yup, I haven't managed to get a good look at Shoto's fire and- ... well you-you know how Momo is using her quirk I'm-I'm not sure it would be proper to ask the permission to have a closer look since it would mean having a look from EVERY part of her body"

"... Don't you dare"

"I'm a psychopath when it comes to quirk trust me I'm curious and it's really hard to hold back the question ... though, I haven't fully analyzed you either, I still have some questions"

"The lunch area is at the other end of U.A. we still have a few minutes so go on"

"Alright, I was wondering of you could transmit to effects of your quirk throughout another object, I can't quite figure out how you can isolate your zero gravity to one object, if you were to use it on me it would affect mostly everything directly in contact with my body, my clothes, my bag, you get it ... so what if there was a way for you to use your quirk from a distance ? Perhaps there is a way to target an object or something with your quirk ... sorry I might be repeating myself"

"No no ! You are right, I never really thought about this, I will try it out this afternoon ! It might come in handy later, that's it ! Hiw about you help me to figure out if this is possible ? Unless you want to train your "own thing" I wouldn't force you to do anything"

"It might be weird if the others kept noticing that something is wrong with their quirk, I guess I'll stick with you"

"Great ! How do you think I should train then ?"

Izuku gulped and stopped in the middle of the corridor "W-wait you-you aren't ask me to supervise your training are you ? I-I not the kind of person you should be asking this-H-how about you ask Thirteen ? She is an interventionist for U.A. she-she could probably offer you an internship so you could train your quirk with her and-"

"Izuku I'm asking you because I know you would be way better at this task than Thirteen, I saw your notebook, you have been analysing quirk since you were four ! Even your- I-I mean ... I guess your secret talent requires a lot of knowledge and analytical prowess. Thirteen would never be able to reach this level ... no one else would be able to do that. You are right, when you have a quirk you are too focused on your own power to use other people's powers and exploit them"

Izuku looked away for a few minutes then he started energetically scratching the back of his neck "Y-yes, I supposeyou are right ... S-say, How-how about I invite you tonight at my home-my-my mom is gonna make some Katsudon and-and you could meet my sister too-"

"That would be wonderful ! Thank you Izuku !" Ochaco literally lunged at Izuku to hug him ... he already regretted this decision but he might as well introduce Ochaco to his mother at one point.

After a minute or two they reached the lunch area, however Izuku suddenly felt akward, but he thought to himself it was probably nothing, he never really liked crowded places, yet Ochaco noticed the changes with his behavior "Something is wrong ?" She asked worryingly.

"N-No I'm fine, I just didn't expect there would be so many student at this time ... let's just get our plates and find a table"

They made a quick detour to make their order to Lunch Rush and then they proceeded to find a place to eat, Izuku really believed he would feel better but ... something was just off, his head hurt, why ?

"Hey ! Look over here !" Ochaco caught back Izuku's attention and pointed out a table with two places left, it was already occupied by Momo, Tenya and Kyoka.

"-could have told us ! How did he SIMPLY forgot to warn us ? I hope this isn't an excuse to "make so room" in the class" Tenya seemed to be complaining and Momo was listening to him as she was the vice class representative. Meanwhile Kyoka seemed really bored.

"You can't simply hold this against them ... beside remember what Aizawa told us, we should always be prepare for anything"

"... hung, you are right, and I hope this is not another pretext either" Tenya made a false gesture to replace his glasses and then went back to eating his lunch.

Ochaco tries to ignore their discussion and to engage a new conversation "Hey ! Mind if we join ?"

Momo smiled and gestured for Izuku and Ochaco to sit "Of course no, Kirishima and Denki were supposed to join us but ... uh, in fact I'm not exactly sure why they haven't joined us yet"

Kyoka woke up for a few seconds "Denki said he was going to hang out with Katsuki and Kirishiman, I just don't understand how they can tolerate him ... he is like ... like a nazi"

Izuku chuckled, this might actually be a right statement.

"You can't say that, he is a good hero even if his behaviour is ... less than hero like" countered the vice representative.

Now coming from Momo Izuku was surprised, even he had lost all kind of optimism when it comes to Katsuki. Ochaco and Izuku sat in front of each others.

Izuku let his classmates talk to each others, his head was buzzing now, and he simply felt sick, was he hurt during the race ? No he would have noticed ? Stain's quirk effects ? No he could feel it so Sensei must had taken it from him ... so why ? Back when he was only with Ochaco he wasn't in such a state.

Izuku felt something on his shoulder, it burned him, he almost screamed when he felt it but he came to realise he was only Kyoka "Hey ! Chill that's me ?"

Everyone at the table was staring at Izuku, but not only his classmates, the other students inside the lunch area were also starring at him. This was all to familiar, it was just like ... and then it hit him in the back of his head.

Just like with the Nomus.

Izuku was feeling sick because of their quirks ... All for One was making him sick, being around so many different powers ... so close, no, no he had to go.

"I-I'm sorry I-I don't feel well I-I have to go"

Izuku ran past the students who encircled the table surprisingly quickly, pushing some in his haste.

"Izuku wait !" Ochaco tried to hold him back but at her turn she noticed their "audience" it made her sick "What are you all looking at ?! It doesn't concern you !"

The other students feigned innocence and went back to their occupation, meanwhile Ochaco followed Izuku throught the school, she had no clue about what happened to her friend, at thought she thought it was related to Katsuki but Izuku wasn't the kind of person who could lose their temper in such a manner.

"Izuku stop ! I can help you !" But Izuku wasn't slowing down, inset he kept running without ever turning back, Ighalo didn't have much choice, she used her quirk to catch up with Izuku but right when she was about to catch him Izuku dodged as if he knew exactly when she was about to strike.

"Do-do not come near me !" Izuku slowed down, Ochaco knew it was now or never if she wanted to gain his attention.

"I just want to help you ! If you keep running I won't be able to do anything !"

"J-just don't come near me"

"Alright, look, I'm not moving, we are alone, please tell me what's wrong now"

"I can't control it for now, I have-I have to be alone for a moment until-until-" as he tried to explain Izuku kept looking at the walls ... or rather throught the walls, Ochaco figured out what was wrong.

"Wait ... you can see quirks ? I mean- You can see people's quirks ? Or-"

"N-No it's-it's different I can ... I can sense people's quirks" he corrected "But sometimes it's just too much and-and I don't feel so well, since the beginning of the year I-I became more aware of what is around me thanks to this aspect of my quirk. I rarely lose control like this, the last time I did it was three years ago and- ... and I had to call my mother so she could make up a lie, an excuse for me to get out of school early ... I never lost control again until-until today"

"What do you call losing control ? You didn't use your quirk, you just got ... you just got scared, it happens to everyone"

"I couldn't focus on anything anymore, all these presences buzzing in my head, it would drive anyone else crazy. I had to go before- I had to go before it gets worse"

Ochaco smiled "Are you feeling better now ?"

"... Slightly, I-I will stay here for a minute" Izuku expected that Ochaco would just go back to the lunch area but instead she waited "You can go I'll be finei don't want to hold you here"

"You aren't, I'm choosing to stay, it will be faster if I'm here to help. And I'm not leaving you alone until I'm certain you are fine ... last time something went wrong All Might in person was looking out for you along with multiple pro heroes"

"Touché ... well if you insist, I guess by the time we reach the lunch area I'll be completely fine, just-just avoid physical contact with me for a while, I'm REALLY sensitive at the moment"

"As you wish"

At the same moment, Midoriya's household.

"So ... it all settles then ? Eri will be "homeschooled" by an non existent person and Izuku and I will just have to make sure she knows and to writte and count until she reaches middle school ?"

Sensei had brought yet again a massive amounts of paperwork, but most of it was useless, he explained that it would help to scare away anyone annoying enough to dig this far in Eri's case if something was ever leaked about her.

"I understand why Izuku would like to keep her away from school, it would be safer for her and the little devils who run around the place. He is right you know school is hell ... I do not have any good memories from my own experiences"

"Not even one ?"

"I found it useless, Izuku probably was there any time he brought back a bulletin that wasn't perfect ?"

"Excepted in physical education no ... no I don't think so, even now at U.A. he is just perfect, let me guess apart from finding it useless you were completely bored"

"I see you noticed the difference between useless and boring, I could have been useless but fun but the fact is that school was just hell, a prison for children, for real, if we had been in the states one of our classmates might have brought a gun in class one day or another"

Inko was shocked, nowadays anyone barely used firearms, only the police still had acces to this kind of weaponry, she knew that America had a deep past with guns but she had never heard about this kind of events.

"Wait ... is that a thing ? I-I mean was a thing ?"

"School shouting, now it doesn't happen anymore with the proliferation of quirks but yes this was a comon thing. But I am not here to talk about this, if everything is settled for Eri I should go back to my- ... my home I have a treatment to take and I might be unconscious until tonight'

"Oh ! I'm making Katsudon this evening, how about you join us ? I-I always make more than necessary, so we often have leftovers for the next day, Izuku won't mind if you join us, and I'm sure Eri would love to see you again"

"Hahaha, I can't deny, surely I can be here tonight"

Three hours later, U.A.

"No it isn't working ... have you ever tried with a liquid ?"

"Makes me sick immediately"

"But lf course a Human body doesn't ... I'm going to tear off my hair " Izuku had brought a blank notebook to take notes and he ended up filling half of it in only two hours, this was frustrating since three quarters of his notes had been roughly crossed out.

"It's alright you are trying your best, and look ! You were right I can spread my quirk effects ! Even-even if I can't control it ... maybe I should go and ask this girl in the support department-"

"Oh the one with her "babies" ? Yeah ... but you she has the tendency to overextend the final product if I may say, and- well that's my point of view but you trained with Gun Head to learn the basics of hand to hand fight, if you ended up using a device you would have to train with it"

"Hahaha, I don't mind, it's just like Aizawa told us, no hero can only have one trick in their pockets ... or something like this, I got the point. Beside you too have to adapt when-"

"No" izuku firmly interrupted Ochaco, he looked around him for a moment, they were alone "I-I have to adapt to my opponent quirk ... but, I will never use someone else's quirk against them, unless I do not have the choice"

"Have you ever done that ?"

"Once, and I'm glad I did, otherwise I would be dead" Izuku couldn't deny that he forgot about his fight with Stain, perhaps he should have listened to Sensei, if he wasn't so stubborn he would have used All for One sooner and-

"I need to rest a bit ... and- ... actually-" Ochaco looked around them and then she sat over a barrel "How about you try ?" She extended her hand toward Izuku.

"... No ! Ochaco I just told you I am not-"

"I'm literally offering you to try by yourself, you aren't taking my quirk by force, and no one is watching us ! ... And I'm sure it would help you to feel better, no one should have to hide their power like this, what you have been throught and what you are still going throught sounds terrible"

Izuku clenched his fist, Ochaco had no idea of how it felt, All for One was like the need to constantly scratch a part of your body, unconsciously his right hand was already reaching out for Ochaco's hand "N-No" he managed to spite himself right on time, however Ochaco looked really confused by this akward reaction.

"HEY GUYSSSS !" Izuku shivered, if he didn't stop then Mina would have seen everything, he was so close from the edge "You aren't doing anything naughty right ? Hahaha just kidding, you should come ! Kirishima and Katsuki are having some sort of one one fight to see what they learnt during their internship ! Everyone agreed that whoever wins can pick the next opponent ! ... I-I'm not forcing you of course but-"

"N-no it's alright Mina, we are coming ... right Izuku ?"

"...Yes, yes of course" This was going to end in such a wrong way, according to Mina Katsuki used this free afternoon to beat up his other classmates, he couldn't hold anything against Kirishima, in fact being exposed to Katsuki's explosions was probably a good way to upgrade his quirk, but Katsuki probably made up the whole "choosing the next opponent" part.

Mina laughed a bit and then she ran back as fast as she could near the entrance of the training area, Ochaco went ahead while Izuku picked up his notebook.

Izuku knew exactly what his former bully wanted, revenge ... Izuku didn't really care a lot about the consequences of his fight with Katsuki after the sport festival, it was so obvious, everyone would understand that he had been using a quirk ... yet- ... yet Katsuki didn't try to say anything ?

In a way he was the villain of this story, he used his quirk illegally to attack Izuku, he would never be able to say this without consequences. Now ... what if he didn't know what kind of quirk Izuku have ?

"Mumbling again ?" said Ochaco as she gave a tap on Izuku's shoulder.

"S-sorry ... I was just thinking about-"

"This fighting thing ? Me too ... he is going to pick you right ?"

"That's too obvious, he didn't "digest" the sport festival if I may say"

"But you can beat him up easily can you ?" Ochaco showed a bit of worry in her voice, she did ended up being repeatedly punched in the face at the sport festival. She probably wanted for Izuku to not relive the same experience.

"... No, everyone will be watching closely, very closely, if I use my thing people might get suspicious, so I will be restrained"

"What are the odds then ?"

Izuku chuckled and showed his notebook "I know Katsuki enough to predict at least his three first moves'"

"What if he actually changed during his internship ?"

Izuku raised an eyebrow "You believe he out of all people actually managed to "learn" something ?"

"I said what if, It-it's a supposition"

When Izuku and Ochaco approached from the entrance of the training area they didn't hear any explosion, Izuku found this very suspicious, the whole class was watching Kirishima and Katsuki in a hand to hand fight.

Neither of them seemed to be dominating, after a minute the fight was still going on.

"We just arrived, since when do you think they are fighting ?" Asked Ochaco.

"Considering it was Mina who came looking for us I would say ... two minutes at least, Katsuki isn't using his quirk yet, it would be a waste, he is stockpiling his swear in his gauntlet to blast Kirishima despite his hardening quirk" explained Izuku.

"Oh ... but Kirishima-"

"Won't be injured, Katsuki is probably just trying to blast him of or incapacitate him since he can't simply beat him up" and right as he finished his application Katsuki pushed Kirishima away and adopted a new position, he placed his left hand over his right hand to form a tube.

"AP SHOT !" The resulting explosion was different, it was targeted focused, devastating, Kirishima couldn't resist and was sent crashing against a wall, he seemed relatively fine as he managed to keep smiling despite the pain.

"AP ? ... like, Armor Penetration"

"You were right Ochaco, he did come up with new moves"

A truly powerful technique, if Izuku had been at Kirishima's place he would have died for sure.

"ALRIGHT ! WHO'S NEXT ?!" Yelled Katsuki after he recovered from the exhaustion, he looked around him, no one seemed really motivated enough to fight against him ...

And then Katuski found Izuku.

"Great ! Then I will just have to pick, how about Dek-"

"No thank you" As if he would let himself get caught into this, Katsuki really didn't like to get interrupted, but he quickly regained his victorious grin.

"Ohhhh comon, are you scared ? Or do you know you will lose"

"I'm just not in the mood for a fight and I have better things to do" he wouldn't simply manage to make Katsuki give up, like anyone had the ability to do that, Izuku calmly walked toward the exit trying to not show any attention toward the explosive teen.

"HEY ! I'm talking to you ! Don't you dare ignore me-" Izuku walked straight past Katsuki, that's about when the water started dropping from over the top of the glass.

Izuku internally sighed, only two second after he crossed Katsuki he felt his quirk activating, hopefully his classmates would not act like a certain duo of referees during the sport festival.

"Right hook"

Izuku ducked and let Katsuki fly over him with his explosions, but now he was blocking the exit.

"Stop !" Ochaco immediately ran next to Izuku "He said he didn't want to fight you ! What the hell is wrong with you ?"

Tenya soon joined her "Katsuki ! This is absolutely not the right way to react when someone de-"

"SHUT UP FOUR EYES THIS IS BETWEEN DEKU AND ME !"

Between him and Katsuki ? So this is what it's all about, revenge, and yet another way to "prove" that he is above everyone else, he targets the "weakest" of his classmates. He didn't really change after all, Izuku looked at the other students, they were actually scared.

"Fine, I'll do it" Izuku finally answered.

"Izuku you don't have to do that !" Ochaco held back her friend by his shoulder, Izuku turned around and grinned.

He made sure to use a low voice "I don't have to, I need to"

Ochaco brought back her hand close from her chest "... A-Alright, give him hell"

Izuku didn't have his usual costume at the moment, he was wearing U.A.'s official sport uniforms which were WAY less resistant, if he was lucky it would still be half intact after the fight.

Now there was another problem, Katuski had made the first move, and Izuku had absolutely no idea of how his opponent would react next.

"That's better ! Let's finish what we started ... how about you show everyone what you are hiding"

Izuku immediately had goosebumps when Katsuki not so clearly mentioned that he KNEW about All for One, or at least he knew that he was hiding a quirk, this would not have been a problem if Izuku was alone with Katsuki but the whole class was watching and listening.

While some did not understand, some were already speculating about Katsuki's insinuation.

Ochaco was the only one who could truly understand what was going on, she was more scared than Izuku, but more than that she was angry, Katsuki was abusing if Izuku's secret not only to hurt him but to win this stupid fight.

While Izuku was held back by his fear Katsuki limped toward Izuku, spinning in the air using his grenade gauntlets, Izuku had never seen this move, the explosive teen wasn't using his quirk to attack, he was using his costume. It made sense, the gauntlets had to be heavy enough so Katsuki would maintain a certain stability while triggering an explosion, now they weren't only support tools but literal hammers.

"REMEMBER HOW IT HURTS DEKU ?" Izuku could have dodged this easily but something felt wrong, he got used to All for One indicating when an ennemy would attack him or use his quirk yet this time there was nothing, perhaps it was the emotions or the sudden fear, Izuku felt weak.

The gauntlet made an impact straight into Izuku's torso sending him rolling against the ground.

"NOT SO THOUGHT NOW ! RIGHT ?" Being taunted this way, it reminded him too much of middle school "Where is your damned speed ? You are just a useless quirkless freak"

Now most of the other students had heard enough, Katsuki had crossed a limit, Tenya stood between him and Izuku "Stop ! You are going too far ! Do you realise what you are saying ?"

"Get out of the way !" Katsuki raised his right arm and then with his left hand he grabbed the pin of his gauntlet "I saved it just for you !"

He changed yes, Katsuki became even more dangerous, Izuku would never be able to tell where he found all this strength but he managed to get up and ran toward Katsuki, pushing Tenya aside at the same time.

He was too far to reach Katsuki before he could use his quirk but somehow All for One burned throught his whole body, his hands were touching something, seizing something ...

The pin was being taken off, Izuku did the only thing he could think of at this moment, he strangled whatever his hands were touching, he closed his fist as hard as he could.

This was now a very, very, very long second during which nothing happened, no explosions, no flammes ... Izuku brought his fist straight into Katsuki's jaw, and he did not stop running, while he was falling Izuku brought his left arm around Katsuki's throat and using his right arm he locked his other arm.

"THE-THE GRENADES TAKE THEM OFF !" He yelled almost losing his temper, he was only asking this in order to find another way to make Katsuki less harmful without actually killing him.

Quickly enough Momo, Denki, Mina, Tenya, Fumikage ... so many of them who did not even dare to act against Katsuki came together to neutralise him. Once the gauntlets had been retrive Izuku released Katsuki.

"That's ENOUGH !"

Katsuki tried to attack Izuku as soon as he was up but at this point Izuku knew exactly how to react, he just had to attack before him, once again Izukuright fist made an impact against Katsuki's jaw and this time it left a very red mark.

"GRRRR, Don't you see it ? That little bastard is hiding a quirk ! How else could he- ..." the explosive teen could not even mutter the end of his sentence.

"Izuku is right, that's enough Katsuki ... you-you should go home before we call Aizawa" Momo clearly saw that the situation was critical with Katsuki being so aggressive and the rest of the class about to give him a real bad time.

He wasn't going to listen to her, or anyone in fact, if it wasn't for Kirishima who manage to recover from Katsuki's AP shot, the hardening student grabbed his friend arms "Bakubro ! You aren't like yourself at the moment, you should go drink some water or something ... please ?"

Katsuki hesitantly turned around and started walking away "You will see ! He is lying ! AND MY GAUNTLETS BETTER BE BACK IN THE LOCKER ROOM IN THE NEXT HOUR !"

"I-Izuku ... what is this all about ? Why does Katsuki thinks you have a-" Izuku was already leaving when Kirishima finally tried to get some answers.

"I don't know what he is talking about, I never had a quirk, he just jealous and angry because he can't reach my level even with his "fantastic" power"

But Kirishima caught up with Izuku "I know one thing about Katsuki, he is not a liar ! So what is this all about ? Why does he think you have a quirk ?" Izuku tried to keep going but this time Kirishima held him by his shoulder "Hey ! We deserve an answer, your mess with Katsuki has been going in since the beginning of the year"

Suddenly all the students felt the same hostility emanating from Izuku, like cold water running down their back "You want an answer ? You won't like it, my problem with Katsuki is the same problem ALL of you have with me, or at least a small part of you. You have a quirk and I don't, you all managed to get inside the best hero school on the planet and yet you have to study along side one of apparently the weakest person in the world ! And now here is the fun part, why does everyone have a problem with me ? Simple, I am better than you, I am better than all of you, if I wanted I could do so many things, I could kill at least five of you right and no one would be able to stop me, I could make a bomb and bring it to school, no one would notice, I could run a criminal organisation and take over Japan ... See ? I do not need a quirk to make extraordinary things, and Katsuki is one of those people who can't accept this fact, and that's why he is weaker than me, a of you are weaker than me because you never had to actually work hard to deserve anything ! I can be as strong and powerful as anyone on this planet, I can be the strongest hero and the most feared villain as well yet people keep threatening me like a peddle on the road and I'm just kind enough to not embrace my hate"

Izuku felt so bad, he spoke with his heart, he made the right decision according to him ... yet, his classmates were all stunned, sole glared at him while otherwise simply stared in disbelief, and Ochaco ...

"... And that's probably why I want to be a hero, Katsuki will never be a true hero because he never had to suffer, he never witnessed evil from the point of view of a bystander, he was never a victim ... I was at the bottom of society and I am still at the bottom, I'm an idiot without a quirk who always believed one day everything would change, one day everything would be just like I always dreamed. But it will never happen, nothing is perfect, if I chose to fight today it was to make a point, see where it brought me, if I didn't fight then it would have been the same result, me opening my heart to you so you can hear how much it screams. I don't want to be a hero to be loved, to change things ... I want to be a hero because it's right ... that's all there is to say, it's right, for once I want to know I did the right thing, I want to live without any sort of fear or cliffhanger in my life" Izuku sobbed and chuckled at the same time "I'm so sorry"

Silence, did they run away ? Were they going to laugh at him ? Yell at him ? ... Izuku felt something against his body, arms ... a head, his vision was all blurry with the tears, yet he knew this voice.

"I'm sorry too, I should never have had any doubt Izuku, forgive me please"

"Ochaco-"

"At the entrance exam I wasn't polite, it-it never happened before with anyone else ... please forgive me"

Tenya .

"I was disgusted the other half of my quirk, I was selfish, but the quirk was not what hurt me the most, I was imparing myself and you made me realise it, but now I see that not only I was being rude to myself but I was being rude to you too without even noticing it"

Shoto.

"I-I remember the elections for the class representatives, you were suppose to be ours but- ... I didn't understand why you refused at first, you looked perfect for this role, you were smart, very sociable, you were popular, you had everything. But now I finally see why you let the place to Tenya, you done like to be above someone, and you do not like to order everyone around you. This sounds ironic, because you would probably be even better than Tenya yet those qualities show how "heroic" you are ... most of us probably don't have anything to say, I mean, at the situation is emotional enough if i may say"

Izuku wipes his tears away "Thank you Momo, thank you everyone"

One hour later, 1-A classroom.

"You are late"

"Actually no, you wanted to see me after the day had ended, the school day to be precise and it only ended about three second ago"

"Whatever, at least this will be quick, you can't use that name"

"But I will even if you deny"

"... Please do not start behaving like Bakugo"

"If I may say, he would have already started yelling and threatening to kill something in a twenter meter radius. I know why I can't take that name, but I do not care about the risks, this is the hero I want to be"

"A hero with the name of the bogeyman ? ... I don't even want to know where you heard that name" Aizawa repeatedly typed his finger against his desk "How about we make a bet"

"... A bet ? Wai-Wait ? Why would YOU out of all people suddenly say that ?"

"You are a genius, along the years I figured out genius can't stop proving they are right, so here is the thing, I'm going to slightly change you exam tomorrow, this means it will be harder of course. If you manage to complete it then I will stop bothering you with your hero name, however if you lose you will have to pick something else ... and you will be in for the night classes, I won't personally enjoy that part but you don't really need those so you will be forced to stay instead of doing whatever you would normally do during the evening"

Izuku considered his teacher's offer, knowing Aizawa he would not really give all he had to make sure Izuku can't use that name but he would definitely not let him alone "iI refuse your bet what exactly will NOT change for the exam tomorrow ?"

"Why would I tell you ? If I did I might spoil the surprise"

"... Fine I accept"

"See ? You couldn't refuse, that's the thing with genius, they want to prove they are smart before anything else" Was this just a trap ? ... Perhaps Aizawa wasn't even going to change anything, what sort of exam Izuku couldn't completely ? "Now if you will excuse me, tomorrow is going to be a very long day and you made me lose at least ten minutes of sleep so now go away" Eraser Head prepared a sleeping bag as he calmly asked to leave.

Right outside the classroom Ochaco was waiting "So ? You can keep the name ?"

"Not yet, you didn't hear anything ?"

"The door is thick, probably in case something goes wrong either inside or outside the room, so no not really ... I did understand the part about sleeping"

"I have to complete the exam tomorrow, if I do he will leave me alone, if I don't I will have to give up and I will be forced to take part to some night classes"

"Extra work ? That sucks ..."

"It's not even extra work, he just wants to torture me with boredom, I guess that's a thing with underground pros, interrogations, torture, threats, good cop bad cop"

"Where are we going now ?"

"Unless you have something to do or something to grab by your apartment I think we can head directly to my house"

"Let's go then"

Izuku and Ochaco made their way on foot, it wasn't very late so there was any real use to take the tram or any kind of transport, Izuku did offer this option but Ochaco declined.

"How is your mother ?"

"My mother ? That's- ... uh, how should I describe her, she is- or rather she tends to get VERY emotional ... so-so if she end up talking about giving her grandchildren it's-it's perfectly normal she-she probably doesn't really mean it ... Oh bloody hell that's so alwars" Izuku faceplamed himself but Ochaco could simply not suppress her laught.

"Actually ... I don't mind"

...

"WHAT ?!"

She laughed even harder when Izuku finally tilted.

"Sorry hahaha ... now how about your father ?"

"O-oh ... well I-...I had rather not talk about him, not that I dislike him but he is- ... very distant, he works overseas. I don't have much to say about him but I suppose he is ... like a father ?"

Ochaco blinked a few times "Like a father ?" She echoed "I'm not sure I get what you mean, so he won't be here tonight ?"

"No, he won't, so it will be me, you, my mother and Eri"

"Oh yes your sister ! Tell me about her"

"Eri is very shy, she is really smart she can do a lot of things by herself but she has some problems with her quirk, I'm working during my free time to figure out the best way to help her"

"She can't control it ?"

"Well ... she can, but she is still very young and she is scared of it, it's more the activation part which gives us some trouble ... as far as I know it has a lot to do with her emotions. Anyway, she also loves fruits and sweet things and she spends her free time making origamis and drawing"

"I wonder how it feels to have a sibling"

Izuku would have said "Me too" if he wasn't keeping yet another secret, even now his interactions with Eri were limited, he just didn't felt like she was completely a part of the family now ... how he wished it could be so simple.

They arrived at Izuku's apartment, it was almost 8 PM.

"It's getting late, I'll make sure to call a taxi for you"

"It-it's fine, I can go back on my own"

"Are you sure ? ... I'm do not feel fine with the idea of leaving you alone like this"

"lots tall about this later, we still have a few hours to decide right ?"

"Oh-y-yes sorry" Izuku opened the door without knocking "I'm home ! Sorry Aizawa called me after the day ended, we had to discuss a few things about my hero name" Izuku gestured for Ochaco to come inside.

"It's alright Izuku !" I'm in the kitchen, could you help me ?"

"I'm coming !" Ochaco took of her coat and Izuku carefully folded it and placed it on a shelf in the entrance corridor "You can go into the living room, we will make the presence later" he told her and in response she nodded before exploring the apartment.

Izuku smelled a new odour in the kitchen "What are you making ?"

"It's a French recipe, it takes at least two days to prepare it's a bœuf bourguignon, Sensei was the one who suggested it, also he is here tonight ! I invited him !"

...

Izuku's world shattered "You did what ?" He asked calmly as he walked inside the leaving room to witness Ochaco staring straight at the World greatest villain who was currently trying to make an origami along with Eri.
