*?'s P.O.V*
I need... to be better.
*BOOM* *BOOM*
I need... to be stronger.
*BZZZT*
I need... to be smarter.
*FWOOSH*
I don't need the others...
*TINK* *TINK*
The others... won't help me accomplish my goal.
*Fwump* *Fwump*
I need to accomplish this myself...
*TSS* *TSS*
The only person I can rely on...
*Pop* *Pop* *Pop*
The only person that can accomplish my goal...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Is me!
"Anymore and you'll blow out your voice."
... I stopped using my Quirk. "Shota."
"You've been at this for 3 hours straight. Even Mic couldn't scream that long, or he shouldn't." Shota explained as he handed me a bottle of water. "You're making decent headway."
"Decent... isn't good enough." I stated, before moving the bottle into the recycling bin. "I have 48 powers, 47 if you exclude One for All. I need to train those 47 to be the best they can be, and I only had 3 days to train 29 of them."
"Your Quirk allows you to permanently copy another Quirk and add it into your repertoire. However it starts off weak, not to mention any negative effects the Quirk has on your body stays when you swap, and as you've figured out, you can only have up to 50 at a time, and to top it all off, using multiple Quirks at a time hurts your head."
"I've grown used to using at most... 10 powers art once, 13 is pushing it." I stated.
"As of right now, you have 47 and that oaf's power." Shota explained.
"It's a powerful Quirk to be sure, but only 18 of the Quirks in my arsenal have been trained. Not to mention some of the student's Quirks are useless to me, or similar to others, it all came down to which ones has the higher ceilings of improvement. Take Kirishima's Hardening vs Tetsutetsu's Steel for example, while Kirishima can improve the durability of his hardening, Tetsutetsu can improve the durability and strength of his Steel, by eating more irons, based on my observations anyway. Not to mention Steel has higher resistances to heat and immunity to freezing, while Kirishima doesn't have such luxury, based on his fight with Todoroki. Kirishima's Hardening is exceptional against physical attacks, terrible against anything elemental. As opposed to Tetsutetsu's Steel, which is good against physical, excellent against elemental, and projectiles like Aoyama's Navel Laser."
"Seems you still have your motor-mouth habit."
...
...
"Well what you said was correct. Tetsutetsu's Quirk was a better long term solution."
"But that's not all." I said while I pulled out my notebook, "In each and every one of the students, in both 1-A and 1-B, there are things that hold them back. Whether it'd be Quirk obstacles... or personal obstacles. For example, Koda is too shy to talk. Tetsutetsu, Satou, and Bakugou are all offense and no defense, and Ojirou's attacks are too simplistic... or 'Normal'. Just to name the most obvious ones. Those obstacles are what stopping them from advancing to the next level... their loss. Because I won't fall for those traps."
...
...
"Nezu has corrupted you."
"It was necessary, I will find them, whoever they are... and throw them to the depths of Tartarus."
"... And then after you accomplish your goal?" Shota asked, "You told me you don't want to become a hero forever, so what's your goal afterwards?"
...
...
"I was lucky to have a power as limitless as this one, and I was lucky to have all of you to train me to use it properly." I said while holding up my right hand, "However. There will come a time where the world won't need heroes. There will be a purse snatching or a robbery, but crime will reach an all time low... that the world won't need heroes as much as they do now, or did a decade ago. That's something people who want to become heroes... don't think about. They don't think... what do I do after my work is done? So for me? Well... Chiyo wanted me to become the next Recovery Girl... her words not mine, so a medical license would be nice. And Naomasa wants me to become a detective, so there's that-"
"Mumbling again."
"... Get used to it." I replied.
"Well you're right... that is something no one but you thinks about. Maybe you can replace me when I retire-"
"I can only do so much Shota."
"Don't get smart with me, I'm still your teacher."
"Right right sorry." I said before walking towards the exit.
...
...
They took me in and trained me to be the best... I can't let that be for nothing.
...
"I'm telling you! He's lazy!" Hagakure is complaining about me. Good. "He doesn't attend class, and the one time he did, he didn't do jack anything during the combat training! All he did was sit there with his stupid hand held. Leaving me with all of the work!"
"... I must admit I did not wish to win that way." Yaoyorozu as well.
Soon a bunch of voices I recognize agreed. "Not to mention, unhinged. Remember how he reacted when I went into his room?" You deserved that Ashido...
"To be fair, you did barge into his room without knocking in anyway shape or form. What if he was naked or something?" Tokage asked.
"Either way, it's a bummer... he has such fluffy looking hair and a baby face... why do all of the good guys always have bad traits." Not... what I expected, but it works.
Well, no point in listening in, time to return to my roo-
"It's unbecoming of a hero to talk bad about your classmates." Of course Shiozaki would speak out against it.
"But he deserves it! He was lazy-"'
"What makes you think it was laziness and nothing else?"
"W-Well he was just playing his video games-"
"Did you not notice how he was yawning during breakfast? Or how he's hardly here after school?"
"N-No..."
"Then don't assume he's lazy."
"... Fine."
...
...
She didn't need to do that, but it's fine.
...
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Someone's knocking...
I paused the game, and got up to open the door... revealing Shiozaki standing in the doorway in a nightgown. "Good evening Midoriya." She greeted with a bow.
"Good evening Shiozaki... did you need something?" I asked... as she held out a basket... is that a cactus?
"I have come bearing gifts." She stated.
"... Why?"
"Well... I just wanted you to know... that you shouldn't let negative perceptions get to you."
...
...
"After hearing negative things for so long... you grow callous to them."
"... I see." She responded... before handing me the basket full of assorted sweets and a case... and the cactus. "Anyway, I need to continue studying, goodbye."
And then... she left. Leaving me with the basket... and the cactus. I set them down and pulled out my phone.
*Bzz* *Bzz* *Click*
"Yes? Izuku?"
"Nezu... I... have a question."
"Well ask away."
...
...
"How does one take care of a cactus?"
...
*Creak* *Creak* *Tssss*
My daily routine. Wake up 5:00, execute my daily exercises, shower at 6:00, finish at 6:10, eat breakfast while the others are doing their morning workouts... or sleeping till 7, then... use Foresight to see if there is anything that will happen today.
Foresight allows me to see any future moves the person you are viewing will do for the foreseeable future. It only lasts for an hour, and requires a 24 hour cool down before I can use it again. All I need to do is touch someone and looked at them dead in the eyes... and I can see their future. I can't use it on myself... I tried. Uncle Sasaki said the future I see of other people is written in stone, and it can't change... he's tried... numerous times.
And the person I bumped into... was Shiozaki.
"Oh, good morning Midoriya." She said with a bow... before heading to the baths. Then I saw it... her future.
Media, election of some kind, lunch, stampede of students, her watching me talk to Shota and Vlad, both 1-A and 1-B going on buses, USJ, villains appear, warp villain spreads us out, Shiozaki lands in water zone, they escape and swim to the edge, black muscle monster smashes Shota's face into the ground, hand villain rushes to Shiozaki, dust, and finally... black.
Black... means death. Shiozaki will die if I don't do anything to stop it. Clearly I saw the future and told Mr. King and Shota about it... which resulted in them bringing both classes to the USJ. What if I don't tell them about the attack? Then it's a 50/50 chance it's 1-A or 1-B, and even if I did, I won't be there to save Shiozaki if it's 1-B, and someone else might die if it's 1-A. And if I do tell them and 1-A and 1-B goes... then I don't know where I end up. I could be teleported somewhere completely different. And apparently neither Shota nor Mr. King want to cancel the USJ trip for... whatever reason!
...
...
I can change the future... by ending it before it happens. It happens at lunch, that much is certain. I have Ectoplasm's Clone Quirk. I can make a clone of myself and make sure Shota nor Vlad are none the wiser. And then...
I'll have to end the villain attack before they get to the USJ. Then I can slip in with the clone and they will be none the wiser.
Basing all of this off of absolutely nothing. I'm assuming this all takes place right after lunch. The USJ is about 3 kilometers from U.A. The bus ride that goes from U.A to the USJ, would take 15-20 minutes. Including the explanation and any questions they have, as well as loading the bus. 20 whole minutes to beat the villains and swap out the clone for myself. Ignoring the fact that I will be bruised and tired as all get out, I'll have to push through it.
Out of the 48 Quirks I have... 29 hadn't been trained at all. And out of the 19 Quirks that had been trained... only 5 are useful towards other people, and not in a combat sense. The remaining 14 are useful in a combat sense. Maybe 12 depending on the terrain we'll fight at, or other factors. Either way, I have some weapons at my disposal. The muscular monster, the hand villain, and the warp villain are the biggest threats. One is obvious, one is annoying, and one is... basically one that turns people to dust. How long is unknown, either way it will happen. However it's not a transformation Quirk... so Erasure should work on him. Okay... I can do this.
I have to do this, I owe her that much.
...
*Creak* *CREAK* *SLAM*
I'm in... it's 12:45. Lunch has just ended.
*Click*
Lights... meaning the trap has been sprung. A purple wormhole has been opened, as numerous villains crawled out. None of them stood out to me, but the biggest threats exited last. The muscular monster, the hand villain, and finally the mist villain.
"So it seems a kid walked into the bear cave." The mist villain said as he warped in front of me, "Greetings... we are the League of Villains. I take it you're a part of U.A?"
"Correct, I knew about your attack since this morning."
...
...
"So a future sight Quirk?"
"We'll roll with that." I replied, as he quirked an eyebrow... at least I assume, his eyes shifted so that's about all I can figure out.
"I see... well our goal is to kill the Symbol of Peace. However, he is not here at the moment. So it would be proper if you left-"
*FWOOSH*
"GHH-"
*SLAM*
"I'm afraid I can't leave, not just yet." I said as I began walking down the steps, "I have a future sight Quirk, meaning I know what will happen if I don't stop you right here right now..." I said as I walked down to the main plaza.
"So let's get this over with."
...
*No One's P.O.V* *Back at the Bus*
As Midoriya loosely predicted, 1-A and 1-B are headed towards the USJ. Each of them have their own separate class buses.
"I always speak my mind Midoriya." As is the case with Tsuyu Asui talking to the clone Midoriya stationed in the class.
...
...
"Hello? She's talking to you dude." Ashido muttered, only for the clone to not look up. "Jerk..."
"Oh well, what I needed to say wasn't importa-"
"Stop the bus!" Aizawa ordered as the bus driver slammed on the breaks with a loud screech, jostling the students slightly.
"W-What happened sir?" Asui asked, as Aizawa squinted in the distance. His anger flaring as he saw who kicked off of the building. He sharply turned and began walking towards the back of the bus, "Sir what's wrong-"
*FWIP*
Aizawa wrapped his scarf around the clone... and pulled, hard. The scarf flew through the clone... and then it disappeared. The handheld crashing onto the floor. "W-What?!"
"I should have realized it when he had this dark blue 2DS XL." Aizawa said as he crushed the 3DS under his heel, "He only uses his Hylian Shield Variant."
"S-Sir, how do you know about that fact?"
"Doesn't matter." He growled as walked back towards the driver, "Step on it, we need to get to the USJ as quickly as possible."
"Y-Yes sir!" The driver yelled as he floored it on the gas. Aizawa then pulled out his phone.
"Vlad tell your bus driver to speed it up. We have to get to the USJ as fast as we can!"
"Why do we- got it." Vlad King said before hanging up, Aizawa dialed another number.
"Thirteen are you at the USJ yet?!"
"I'm almost there, I saw it too."
"Get there as fast as you can." Aizawa said before turning off his phone.
"Sir! As class rep I must know what's-"
"This has nothing to do with you."
"But sir-"
"Nothing. To do with you." He growled... as Yaoyorozu slumped back into her seat.
'You better be okay. I'm not going to be the one who has to fulfill your promise.'
...
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
*WHAM*
"Ghh!" H-He's tough!
*SLAM*
H-He's as strong as Toshinori!
"GRAAAH!"
It's... impossible.
*FWOOSH* *WHAM* *CRASH*
"Nomu! He has too many spells for a level 5 enemy! Kill him!" 'Shigaraki' ordered as the Nomu rushed towards me.
I'm sorry... Mom-
"Midoriya!"
*Fwip* *Fwoosh* *SLAM*
W-What?
"Are you alright Midoriya?!" S-Shiozaki?!
"What are you... ngh! What are you doing here?"
"Mr. King and Mr. Aizawa said not to go inside, but I had to make sure you are okay-"
"Nomu! Kill the brats!"
"GRAAAHH!"
H-He's coming! I.. have to protect her, I have to risk it!
"M-Midoriya-"
*RIIIIP*
"RECIPRO BURST!" I have to use it, 100% of One for All and Tensei's Recipro Burst.
*FWOOSH* *WHAM*
I-I have to push through the pain! My left leg next while it's staggered!
*WHAM*
I planted my mangled legs onto the ground and surged 100% of One for All through my fist and punched the Nomu square in the chest.
"GRAAAH!"
I-It's not enough! I... I have to add more fire power. This could blow my cover... but I have to use an explosion!
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
"Ghh! Ghh!" I can feel my bones cracking with each explosion I unleash, but one more should do it!
*BOOOOM*
Come on!
*BOOOOM*
COME ON!
*BOOOOM*
"GO AWAY!"
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
"GRAAAAAAaaaaaa!"
*BOOM*
I-It's gone... I... did it.
That was... the worst one liner... ever.
...
...
...
"Nggh... Huh? There's the florescent light I know so well..."
"About time you woke up." Chiyo muttered, "Let me just preface this by saying you had 5 broken ribs, a concussion, broke both of your legs, made them worse by standing on them, broke your right arm, strained your left by unleashing numerous explosions, and to top it all off suffered from Quirk Exhaustion!"
"... That, sounds problematic."
"It is!" Chiyo yelled, before sighing, "You saw the future, and yet you didn't say anything about it. You could have told us-"
"I saw the future where that happened. Shigaraki would have disintegrated Shiozaki, and I still owe her."
"...*Sigh* That oaf has ruined you."
"... Shota said the same thing about Nezu."
"Oh did he now?"
"Oh hello." I greeted as he climbed up onto the bed.
"What you did was reckless and dangerous." He said, "But it also left with no casualties. Most of the students are concerned about you however."
"Doesn't matter."
"I figured that's what you'd say." Nezu said before sighing, "You are cleared to go, however the USJ trips have been delayed to improve security and rebuild the USJ, but the students are talking about you."
"Great..." I muttered before getting out of bed.
I'll just have to sneak past them.
...
*Meanwhile*
"Sensei... this brat ruined everything!" Shigaraki whined as he scratched his neck in a frenzy, "He beat Nomu... and had multiple powers!"
"... Is that so?" 'Sensei' asked.
"Shigaraki is right sir. That kid was able to utilize the Quirks of Eraserhead, Ingenium, and others I don't recognize."
...
...
"This is an interesting development." 'Sensei' commented, "While the loss of the Nomu is unfortunate, we've gained some information. Keep your held held high Tomura Shigaraki, for you will have another opportunity to make a statement."
"... Nggh!" Shigaraki growled before storming off, as Kurogiri continued to wipe down an already clean glass... bar tending in this empty bar was all he could do at the moment. The screen turned off, leaving 'Sensei' to his thoughts.
'... Let's see how you improve from this.'
*End of Chapter*
...
(A/N: I've re-written this chapter like 7 times and while it's still clusterfucky, it's waaaaaaayyyy less clusterfucky as the other 6 tries. And I hereby declare clusterfucky to be a new word, but it on Webster's Dictionary.
Anyway back to the story.
Of course my 3rd person could use some work, I rarely used 3rd person, and I'm trying to use it more often, but to avoid making this story an incoherent mess I'll be adding more 3rd person moments throughout the story. So forgive me but people don't learn calculus in a day.
So to avoid wasting another day I'm just going to throw this out there. I apologize if this chapter is a pain to read, but I guarantee you that this chapter will be the only one that's difficult to read, I have a lot of ideas with this story, some cannon complacent, some original... unless somehow I predict what will happen later in the manga... if that's the case then I want royalties. Or to not be sued... please?
