AN HOUR LATER, UA INFIRMARY :
The police didn't take much time to show themselves and arrested 79 villains alongside the Nomu. But that's not the important thing.
Recovery Girl was having a nice day, why nice? Bcz no student showed up for the whole day. But then the earth shattering news came to her, USJ was attacked by villains and there were injured with deaths.
Recovery Girl paled when she heard 'Death', she just hoped it was Nezu's bad joke but it was not, she saw three females. She knew she couldn't do anything and it pained her but she followed to Shota and Mineta.
Shota was the worst case and she was annoyed that she couldn't use her quirk on him because of the fatigue. Shota needed a surgery which she did before coming to Mineta, thankfully she could use her quirk on him to heal him.
There were minor injuries to other students which she cured but the mental stress? What would she do about that? She couldn't find an answer for now.
Meanwhile at the outside of the infirmary Izuku was resting with the rest of his class. All Might was with them but the hulking man also has no words for the young students. The other teachers tried to do something but All Might stopped them by saying let them give some time.
They could see Katsuki Bakugo standing afar from them. He was scowling for the reason they didn't know but he said nothing or cursed. He just stood there silently. He wasn't that heartless afterall.
"Midoriya?" Tenya spoke quietly "I'm sorry".
Izuku looked up and turned his eyes towards Tenya, his face didn't say what he was thinking. He was shunned by many people, he was called villain, he fought a villain before but this time isn't same. He saw deaths infront of his eyes.
He didn't reply to Tenya but the engine hero-in-making continued "I only had one goal in my mind and it started for that. If I returned and helped then we wouldn't loose anyone. I feel I dissapointed you, if you were me then you would go back to help them". Tenya didn't look at anyone's eyes but clenched his hands regretting his decision.
"I was too scared to move that time. I saw the warpgate opened under Asui but I couldn't do anything after seeing Midoriya getting beaten by the Nomu. If I wasn't scared then I could've pulled her out in time" it was Shinso who muttered in guilt for not doing anything. He knew he could also brainwash Tomura but he also missed that.
"I froze up" Momo also started "When Midoriya said Thirteen died I froze up and Jiro..." She couldn't finish but started crying.
"Shut up"
Everyome heard the quiet voice but couldn't recognize the voice belonged to whom. Except, All Might who was standing next to Izuku and heard him.
"Shut up"
This time the voice went in everyone's ears as they turned towards Izuku.
'He is going to snap' Present Mic, Hound Dog and Midnight thought simultaneously.
"Midoriya, what are you...?" Ojiro who was beside Izuku tried to ask Izuku what was he trying to say but Izuku snapped.
"I SAID SHUT UP"
Izuku yelled "STOP CRYING. WE JUST STARTED OUR FIRST YEAR IN HERO COURCE IN UA AND IT IS NORMAL TO BE SHAKEN IN THIS SITUATION BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE HEROES AND WE DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY AND WE DIDN'T SUCCEED BECAUSE WE WERE IN EXPERIENCED. ITS NOT NEITHER OF OUR FAULT, IT IS THOSE VILLAINS FAULT WHO ATTACKED US SO STOP CRYING AND PREPARE YOURSELVES SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN THE NEXT TIME"
Izuku stopped himself from his yelling and took some deep breaths. He didn't realize he started crying also, he was also shaken by the incident but he knew it isn't the end.
"ARE ANY OF YOU GOING TO DROP FOR TODAY'S INCIDENT?" he yelled again.
That question startled everyone. No one thought about that. Will they drop out after seeing the incident? When they will be a full fledged pro hero, there might be incidents in future where their comrades might die. What will they do then?
Their mind will be strong by then so they can continue their fight - almost everyone thought the same. But to reach at that future they need to face the present they are in now.
"No"
"We want to be heroes"
"But how can we become heroes when we let our friends die?"
Izuku looked at Eijiro, Hanta and Ochako who voiced their concerns.
"YES, YOU CAN BECOME A HERO BUT YOU MUST NEED TO BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU CAN'T SAVE EVERYONE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T TRY, WE ARE UA HERO COURCE AND WE GO PLUS ULTRA. IF YOUR WILL IS WEAK THEN STOP TRYING AND IF NOT THEN OVERCOME IT"
Izuku was stopper by Shoto who gave him an annoyed voice "Stop beat the bush Midoriya, you can bring them back with your quirk so do it".
Izuku shot a glare to Shoto "YES I CAN AND I WILL BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO NEXT. WILL THEY CRY LIKE THIS OR WALK FORWARD FROM THIS. WE'RE GOING TO BE HEROES WHO WILL FIGHT VILLAINS WHO ALWAYS FIGHTS DIRTY"
"Midoriya that's enough..." Hound Dog was coming forward to stop Izuku but Nezu stopped the teacher "No Hound Dog, he is doing this right, he is doing what a true leader should". Hound Dog looked skeptical at Izuku but he waited for some more moments to see where it will end.
"WE ARE GOING TO BE HEROES AND THIS MIGHT HAPPEN MANY TIMES IN FUTURE..." Izuku coughed for yelling continously "That's why stop blaming yourselves and prepare for future and besides I was the one who asked everyone into the fight. Don't blame yourself atleast, take time and strong your minds to prepare yourself if this happens again"
"That's everything I wanted to say now I'm going to heal Tsu, Jiro and Thirteen. They might not remember what happened so it's your choise if you want to tell them that they experienced death and came back to life" with that Izuku got up from his seat and entered in the infirmary.
"What Midoriya said is true" everyone heard a new voice which belonged to their principal Nezu who was sitting on Ectoplasm's shoulder "What happened in USJ is really tragic but don't let your morale down so easily. Take time and heal yourself, go beyond plus ultra. The classes will be off for this week. Spend this time with your families and enjoy, if need you need help then we are here help you. You're still young so be strong".
With that Nezu left the students alone with his teachers so they could think on thier own.
"You know, what Midoriya said is true" Shoji started, he was the one who observed the whole incident with his eyes. "We were lucky that we had Midoriya who defeated the villains. But we also saw how much Midoriya was fatigued half an hour ago but he still wanted to go in if All Might and Recovery Girl stopped him for pushing himself further. He is giving 100% no, 200% to protect everyone around him. We saw he had no friends so he knows the value of friends. We are also giving 100% but are we giving more? Are we trying to go plus ultra?"
Shinso was the one who answered first "We are not! We are still learning, how can you think we can go beyond our limits in just after a very short time?"
Shinso was also right, he knew he won't drop out but even then...
"But we have to" it was Toru, "I started training with Midoriya and everytime he pushed me forward. He said it like that 'If you don't have anything then crawl, if you grow legs then run and if you grow wings then fly but don't stop thinking that now I've wings and can fly so try harder. If you stop progressing forward then you will fall behind'. We are running but did we even try to fly?".
The class seemed to agree with her, finally, the spark Izuku gave by his speech is igniting further. The sullen moods calmed down and trying to look forward. Sure they need some time to get over but they will.
Ohcako's tears dried and she looked forward with a half hearted smile "We need to welcome back Tsu and Jiro with a smile. We are future heroes, we won't cry more".
The atmosphere started to brighten up and All Might couldn't help but grin inwardly 'Young Midoriya, I can't be more proud of you at this moment. The dread villains created is going and life is coming back. You asked me if you can become the symbol of life and look, you're now their symbol of both life and hope'. He knew when he chose Izuku as his successor, the boy will be the hurricane which will destroy more evil than him and in the end the century long rivalry against All For One will end by his hands.
Izuku stood infront of the three bodies, he could finally see Thirteen's face, she has Navy blue hair with the middle of her hair was blond. If Izuku wasn't in pain he would compliment her. Beside Anan Kurose lied Kyoka Jiro and Tsuyu Asui.
He felt like he was going to puke at the scene infront of him but he felt a soft hand touched his shoulder. Izuku turned to see Nemuri Kayama or known as Midnight.
"Are you sure you're fine Midoriya?" Nemuri was looking concerned, she was actually when she was not in her R-rated character.
Izuku nodded "It doesn't matter if I'm fine or not, its my work to fix them and I'll do that". Seeing Izuku's determined eyes Nemuri let him go and gave a concerned look to Recovery Girl who also had a sad expression but stayed quiet.
'I've stolen too much life energy so I can do it. One for All 1% boost...' He thought and his right hand glowed with crystal colored energy as he touched Kyoka's bare stomach and her body ignited with the same colored fire for 10 seconds before it died down and Kyoka's injury was gone like nothing was there, not a scar also.
Izuku felt the coldness of death left from Kyoka's body and she warmed up. Recovery Girl quickly checked Kyoka's pulse and gave a satisfied sigh.
"Her body warmth returned and her heart rate just below normal but it is increasingly slowly" she stated relieving Nemuri.
Izuku though didn't wait for any words and quickly touched Tsuyu's bare stomach and the same thing happened again for 10 solid seconds. Bones, tissues and skin grew and connected her body with her head.
Recovery Girl quickly switched sides and checked on Tsuyu before giving the same sigh "Same goes for her. I'm feeling like I just had some knuckleheads who just knocked themselves out for using too much quirk".
"Uh-huh"
"Ribbit"
Both Kyoka and Tsuyu opened their eyes slowly groaning like they had a nice sleep.
"How are you feeling young ladies?" Recovery Girl asked. Nemuri quickly opened the curtain to hide Anan's body. The last thing they wanted to see after waking up.
"Where am I? I'm feeling exhausted" Kyoka questioned no one particular and stayed silent for some moments trying to recall what happened.
"Midoriya-chan?" Tsuyu slowly croaked then her eyes were fully opened "What happened? The villian captured and then.. A burning sensation ribbit".
Izuku gave both of them a small smile "I'm glad that you two woke up, you two sustained critical injuries but Recovery Girl and I healed you. You are just feeling exhausted because of that. USJ is over, we're in infirmary so rest up".
Kyoka looked relieved but Tsuyu's eyes fixed at Izuku. 'I felt it, I knew I lost my life but it was your quirk isn't it Midoriya?' Tsuyu didn't voice her thoughts but she knew Izuku was her saviour.
"What about Thirteen ribbit?"
That one question made everyone flinch except Kyoka. She looked skeptically at the three and she was sure they were hiding something.
"Thirteen is fine but she also needs rest" Recovery Girl told them and Tsuyu seemed believed in it a she replied "So Midoriya-chan brought back Thirteen?"
Kyoka's head turned towards Tsuyu at a pace that could snap her but fortunately it didn't. "What are you saying? Midoriya brought back Thirteen means..."
"Stop!"
Kyoka immediately stopped when she heard Izuku's voice. She looked at him and felt his stern gaze looking at her soul and made her unable to say anything. "You just woke up. It is not the time ask questions so rest" Izuku's voice almost heard like orders but Recovery Girl and Nemuri quickly agreed with them to stop her from questioning anything more.
When Izuku moved away to the another end of the curtain with Recovery Girl but Midnight stayed there "Don't blame Midoriya, he took the blame for all of your injuries because he let you fight. He defeated the villains in pure rage which left him half dead but he still healed himself and healed who were gravely injured. He is already overusing his quirk then he gave a speech to brighten up the whole Classes morale. Just give him some time".
"Midnight-sensei is right, ribbit. Villains attack was unexpected but we need to keep ourselves" Tsuyu also said making Kyoka sigh in defeat. She laid down again silently.
Izuku stared at Anan's face for some moments and took some deep breaths to calm himself but that wasn't helping.
"Midoriya?" Recovery Girl asked with concern "You totally overused your quirk boy, you need to rest and besides she isn't going anywhere".
"It's fine Recovery Girl" Izuku muttered but he knew it wasn't fine. His body was feeling like a dozen of bullet trains hit him simultaneously. He didn't even know if he could stay wake after he transfer the life energy to Anan.
Recovery Girl sighed "I know it is unnecessary but can you tell me how much life energy you stole from the villains and how much you gave those two to revive them". The old nurse whispered barely only Izuku could able to hear but what they didn't know one of them had super hearing.
"I gave until life returned to them and it took 50 years if life energy. I never revived human so I guess it is necessary 50 years of energy I have to give until life force returns if the victim didn't die by my quirk. And I stole almost 130 years of life from the villains and more 30-40 years from here and there which I already used to fight the Nomu but still I've enough revive Thirteen now and after that I'll pass out".
Before Recovery Girl could say anything Izuku touched Anan Kurose engulfing her into fire. Her body was stitched and the skin of both upper and lower half glued with eachother and Izuku passed out falling on Anan's belly with a small thud.
"Ow!"
The space heroine cried out suddenly before opening her eyes "Where am I?" She groaned not remembering anything for the moment.
"You're in my office Kurose in your second life"
Anan looked at her left side and saw the elder lady then she saw what was resting on her stomach, it was Izuku Midoriya.
"Midoriya? What is happening?" Then her memories started to return of USJ and the last memory was being struck in the villain's warpgate.
"You died, torn in two parts" Anan gasped when she heard about her Death. She clearly didn't know how to act, they were talking about her death with her. "But this boy here overused his quirk to defeat the villains then revived you. Since you're a grown woman I told you about it and now you should rest".
"Kurose-chan" Nemuri almost squealed in happiness.
"Kayama-chan" Anan smiled "Can you pick Midoriya up and lay him beside me. He passed out". Nemuri raised her eyebrow but whistled and did what her friend asked. She is just happy that her friend is back and thanks to the sleeling teen beside her friend. She will thank him later in her way.
"Ahem" Recovery Girl coughed getting their attentions "I know you're concerned About the boy but it was your deathbed few moments ago?"
Anan looked confused and turned towards Nemuri who was giggling looking at her. But Anan realized Nemuri's eyes weren't gazing at her face but at her body so she looked down and found herself covered by only two pieces of towels which only covered her privates.
"It's fine, there are few more beds if I am not wrong, just give us a blanket and a hospital gown" she giggled "If he wakes up early then he will have a heart attack and he will go to sleep for a good amount of time again".
Nemuri almost choked her breath but she composed herself before giving the space heroine a sly smirk "As you say. Recovery Girl just hoped Izuku won't get a trauma when he will wake up.
"So what happened?" Ochako asked Midnight nervously when she came out from nurse's office. Not only her but almost everyone surrounded her with overwhelming questions.
"Okay! Okay!" Nemuri cleared her throat and stopped everyone "Asui, Jiro and Thirteen woke up but Recovery Girl told them to rest so they are resting. Midoriya did it but for overusing his quirk he passed out so he is also resting. All of you go back to your home and rest, it was a long day for you". She clearly left Izuku's state with Anan but she saw the relaxation finally hit the teens as they sulked on their seats.
'Well, they are finally relaxing so let them be' she thought and left from there. She saw a hulking shadow at a corner which also left means All Might was also relieved.
4 HOURS LATER - NEZU'S OFFICE -
"The media won't leave our tail until we tell something, then the HPSC also want answers, the parents want answer. We can't hide for a long. If not today then tomorrow we have to face them" Present Mic stated not liking how everything is going.
Four solid hours passed since Izuku healed the deads and the Press gathered infront of UA gates since the Cops arrived. They managed to send the students back at their home along with Kyoka and Tsuyu.
Kyoka learned the truth for her Quirk's passive ability of sharp hearing but she kept quiet about it. When she went out from the infirmary she was surrounded by her whole class congratulating her for getting well soon, no one gave any suspicions. She also didn't press it.
"Did Midoriya boy wake up?" Ectoplasm asked. "Because of his quirk we didn't have any casualties but we let him do everything he wanted because we wanted to save ourselves".
"You're wrong" Toshinori Yagi was also among them in his normal form getting the teachers attention "Young Midoriya did what was right and we let him do because it was right. We can't save everyone but if we can save someone then we must. Young Midoriya knows the value of life so it was right".
"I get it but what are we going to answer the Press?" Vlad King asked.
"We will tell the Press everything what happened except the students temporary 'Death'" Nezu voiced. "I will attend the Press with Midnight and Midoriya. It will stress him out again but with him there the Press will get honest answers".
"I agree" All Might voiced again. It pained him to do this to Izuku but it has to be done sooner or later. "Young Midoriya already has a public image after that sludge villian incident. But I hope you will not pressure Young Midoriya to do anything he doesn't want".
Nezu nodded. He also didn't want to pressure after a villain incident but he should give the villains an answer that they couldn't demoralize future heroes.
"And what about that Nomu? The villains said that it had multiple quirks. It was looking like an animal but also had human features" Cementoss asked. He had a bad feeling for the creature. When the police captured it, it didn't retaliate.
"About that" All Might began "Young Midoriya gave me his hypothesis and he said..."
All eyes locked at Toshinori with wide eyes but only Nezu wasn't surprised "Impressive, Midoriya thought that much. I must take an IQ test of him after the school opens again".
"It's not the time to say that Nezu" Recovery Girl grumbled at Nezu's antics.
At the same time in infirmary Izuku woke up groggily. He felt his face was between something soft. He also felt a hand slowly ruffling his hair.
'Did I pass out and the teachers sent me to home? Is it mom?' He thought for a moment before he found himself at the vestige realm. The vestiges of previous One for All weilders sitting at their thrones.
"Hello ninth" Yoichi gave him his pleasant smile with Nana who always gave a mothely give. "Using One for All at over 100% was really risky for you even with your Quirk's healing".
Izuku looked with question towards the first weilder "But I healed comepletely". He then looked at his hands which wasn't covered by the green mist which covered his body. And he was left shocked, there were numerous black burned marks on his skin. He didn't feel anything but the scars used to disappear everytime but this time it didn't go away.
"You understand now? One for All is getting stronger and stronger everytime you use it and your Quirk is rapidly strengthening it. When you fought that creature you subconsciously used One for All at 300%, it's power went higher bcz of your own quirk. And now your hand is permanently damaged to some point"
Yoichi pointed out making Izuku gulp in nervousness before he replied "You're right, that time I didn't care what happened to me but I must end the villain for hurting my friends. I realize it was irrational for me"
"No"
Izuku stopped his muttering when Nana interjected. The woman gave Izuku a sympathatic look before continuing "We didn't expect you to do everything rational, even we chose to do irrational things in our lives out of rage. The thing is you narrowed your vision when you use One for All".
"I narrowed my vision? What does that mean?"
This time Daigoro started to speak "Look kid, you're trying to imitate eighth and that's fine but you need to be more creative with your quirk. One for All has became a bottomless pit of potential yet to be released and besides..."
"It's not time" Hikage suddenly broke out Daigoro from his rambling. Yoichi also nodded at that "Fourth is right, it's not the time to speak about it".
Izuku looked confused "What's time? Is something happening with One for All?"
En nodded negatively "When time will come you will learn, you already have burdens on your back so think about them now. At the time we will let you know, we are also still figuring out so we don't want to give you half information and you waste your time on that".
"But did you figure out why can't use super strength like Eighth?" Kudo asked, he asked the same question before he started classes at UA and Izuku didn't have any answer then. The questiom came again to him.
"I maybe know, when All Might gained One for All it wasn't in this power level so could use it completely but after All Might used that power over four decades it enhaced into another level of power. My body maybe strong but One for All is way more stronger. My body will take years to come closer in it's power level. Also he was quirkless so the quirk acted like a brute strength".
Izuku replied then he felt the vestiges started to vanish.
"Looks like our time is ending for this time and you have a good answer. See you again and you will have a surprise when you wake up completely" Nana giggled before they vanished.
Izuku opened his eyes in confusion, what did Nana meant by surprise. Though he could see dark infront of him with a faint scent of lilac with sweat lingering in his eyes.
His hands searched in dark to find what was infront of him and he grabbed something soft. 'What is this?' He thought and gave it a squeeze earning a feminine moan.
"Ahhh~"
Izuku's body jolted and he quickly sat up to Thirteen only wearing a hospital gown with a smile on her face.
"Good to see you are wake Midoriya-kun" she giggled "And before you freak out I was the one who let you rest beside me so don't worry as long as you won't scream and people catch us like this".
Izuku's mouth opened and shut again, he was blushing crazy at their position.
"I... I am sorry but you're in a hospital gown Thirteen" Izuku finally came out from his daze and quickly closed his eyes. Thirteen giggled a bit loudly. "My name is Anan Kurose and I hope you will call me by my name after what you did to me. Besides I guess spending time with Nemuri made me catch her antics. It's fine open your eyes".
Izuku was nervous but opened his eyes meeting to Anan's breasts again with a crazy crimson face. "Umm.. Kurose-sensei, are you feeling well? I passed out the moment I used my powers".
Anan watched Izuku for some moments and saw how stiff he was. She felt she was giving Izuku a hard time but then again with his past he didn't have any interactions with his female classmates.
She sat up and patted Izuku's head with a smile "No need to be stiff Midoriya-kun. I apologize if I made you uncomfortable. We can get up now". She tried to get out to get but Izuku stopped her "No-o, it's fine Kurose-sensei, it's just the last time when I found myself in this type of situation it didn't go well for me so I'm nervous"
Anan realized it 'Of cource, the society is doing wrong to children who doesn't look or have 'heroic' Quirk'. She thought with a small frown but quickly gave Izuku a smile "If it's fine then can you tell me what happened?".
Izuku nodded "It was the beginning of my last year of Junior high when one of my female classmate suddenly confessed that she had a thing for me and by force took my hand to touch her and someone clicked a picture where my hand was on her. Later she and her friends complained that I was trying to molester her since I'm trying to be villain so I needed to do villainous things I chose her. But luck was my side many students who didn't know me saw that and stood for me and the school authorities couldn't do anything to me".
Though that was not the actual truth but he didn't want to remind that horrified memory.
"Your old school really tried hard to make you a villain but look today you're my hero Izuku Midoriya" Izuku looked up meeting Anan's face. She grinned boisterously at him making him feel proud. "And I'm still single and have time so I can also freely teach you about females. Since you need it so when you will get a girlfriend, or maybe two, not three.. Whatever you won't embarrass yourself".
Anan winked making Izuku shudder "Kuro-Kurose-sen-sensei, wha-what are you saying?". This time Anan smirked "Oh you know what I'm saying". She winked with coming closer to Izuku's face with a sly look.
Before Izuku could say anything a cellphone rang and recognizing the sound Izuku quickly took it from the table and answered "Hello"
"Izuku dear" Inko's shaken voice came from the other side.
'Shit! I forgot to call mom' he faceplamed while Anan giggled knowing what was going on. "Yes mom, I'm fine. I was just exhausted and slept, no injuries, okay, maybe a little but it's fine. You don't need to worry I'll return as soon as possible".
He rambled until Inko stopped him "Thank God, you're safe. I called before and Thirteen-san picked up saying you were sleeping so I called at every hour after I heard that. I just wanted to hear it from you to confirm".
Izuku waz relieved glancing at Thriteen he gave the pro heroine a smile which she returned with a toothy grin. Izuku knew his mother his mother wasn't like Katsuki's who is always prideful and take things just like Katsuki. But Inko was fragile after his quirk awakened since many people berated her for raising someone with a 'villainous' quirk, Izuku's eyes widen at the last part.
"Mom! Don't tell me someone came at our door with that issue?" Izuku's voice rose suddenly with a hint of anger. He could her shaky breaths from the other side but it stopped the moment he said that.
"No! No! Izuku dear, no one said anything, I was just worried about you when I heard that. If you are not injured then I can sit relaxed. Get a proper check up before coming, good bye dear"
With that Inko cut the call leaving Izuku with a blank look on his face "You can't lie to me Mom", he whispered knowing what happened.
"Something happened to your mother?"
"When my quirk came, I wasn't the only one, my mom was also being harassed by some neighbors and her old friends for raising a villain. I know it clear, someone said it again that I led the villains in UA" he sighed "It just never ends".
Anan looked depressed "You know Midoriya-kun, we are same. When I was young I destroyed half of a forest with my quirk, everyone said I'm dangerous, even my parents agreed with others and left me alone. Though I was lucky that Nezu picked me, time was different then but th society is same".
Izuku looked surprised, of cource someone without uncontrolled powers are danferous and the society just want to see one mistake and everything is gone. If someone turned into a villain for a dangerous quirk then Izuku will never hesitate to blame the society.
"Good you're awake young lad" Recovery Girl's voice brought him back form his thoughts. Anan looked sheepishly at the elderly heroine. "Good thing you two didn't do something here which you will regret but how are you feeling Midoriya?"
Anan looked at other side pretending not to hear what she said while Izuku blushed madly clearly knowing What Recovery Girl meant. How the hell only that came in his mind, yeah because he was with a woman who was giving him tha look, that's the only thing brain can process in this situation.
Izuku meekly replied "I'm totally fine, the exhaustion is gone and my body also seems well..."
He trailed off as Recovery Girl coughed "Except your hands".
"Yes, I know, the power I used was far more strong than my body and it left scars even after with my Quirk's healing. If I use the power recklessly then I'll have to attend my hand's funeral".
"So you are not as dumb as the one who recommended you"
Izuku stared at Recovery Girl blankly for a moment before bursting out of laughter along with Anan. The elder heroine flatly called the number one pro hero a dumb though Izuku didn't accept that completely. It's just All Might used his hand more than his brain only.
The elderly heroine let them laugh and when they stopped she spoke again "Since you're fine get in your school uniform bcz you will attend a press conference with Nezu and Kayama about the villain attack".
"Umm.." Anan butted in "Is it okay to send a student in press conference? I mean the press will say things he won't like".
Izuku was not sure about that also and he is still awkward with crowd if not riled up. Okay, that's it, the cunning animal of a principal just want them to rile him up since he is not a hero, the press can't fuss about him completely.
"I will go. Thank you Recovery Girl and Kurose-sensei for taking care of me, as our class rep I want to show everyone we are hero cource and we will not go back from our dreams just bcz of some villians" that was not the full truth, he wanted to show All For One that he will be there when All For One will act.
The two pro heroines just dumbly nodded before Izuku grabbed his uniform and walked out.
"Uh, the world will be destroyed if Nezu's brain and his brain acts same" Recovery Girl stated making Anan laugh nervously thinking she is being dramatic.
AN HOUR LATER, UA HIGH -
"Don't worry Midoriya, just answer what they want" Nemuri assured Izuku along with Nezu who was happy about Izuku's joining at the press conference.
Though it wasn't good as Izuku thought as too much cameras microphones and reporters made him nervous. Surprisingly Nezu was very supportive to Izuku and in one sentence the hybrid animal meant 'Fuck consequences and speak your mind, I'm at your back'. Unnoticed by Izuku the whole UA faculty was spooked at that.
"Good evening Principal Nezu and Ms. Midnight but we want to know why we're having a student as our guest or are you trying to hide your failures to protect future heores by using him" the female reporter didn't waste any time to antagonize Nezu though the principal took it without hesitation.
"I agree that because of our failure to predict a villain attack which shaken up our students but this young man is Izuku Midoriya, class 1-A's representative is responsible for our students coming out from USJ without many physical injuries and he is the one who defeated the creature created to kill All Mught"
The whole group of reporters went silent for a moment before a male reporter broke into laughter "So nowadays UA is also lying, a creature which was created only to kill All Might got defeated by a student? Do you think we will believe that?"
The reporter mocked but Izuku was nudged by Nemuri and he nodded before speaking "It is true, it's because of my Quirk, it is called 'Death' means if I touch anything with my left hand it will die. My quirk just reject any kind of life energy whoever or whatever I touch, even if I touch myself I will also die and I can stay dead for some time before I revive myself. So I just touched the creature and it's life ended".
The reporters were utterly shocked when Izuku mentioned his Quirk, he saw the looks which were shown 'villainous'.
"Woah kid, your quirk is one villainous quirk I must say" one of them stated with an amused look.
That irked Izuku in no time and his eyebrow twitched "So shall I try to be a villain with this? How can you say a quirk is evil?"
One of the reporters was quickly agitated by the tone Izuku used "Of cource a quirk that can kill people is villainous, it's not us but the whole world believes, you may be a hero in training but but that will not guarantee people that you won't end someone's life with your quirk".
"If you put it like that way then tomorrow if All Might accidentally punches a building full of people inside while fighting a villain and they die that means All Might's quirk is villainous?" Izuku retorted with slight anger in his voice.
"Don't compare yourself with All Might boy, he is the number on pro hero for decades and we know he will not do something like that by mistake" an elder reporter replied.
"And I'm the one whom All Might recognized as a hero. Also try to change the society, the society is what made villains because they were told their Quirks are evil. If I give you a knife here then you will also be a villain, why? Bcz knives are used to murder innocent peoples"
"That's not how it works, a knife is also used to chop vegitables and who are you talking against the society? With this attitude you will be crushed by the society in no time"
"Then how can be a quirk is evil? Like a knife, a quirk is also a source of power and power is not evil or good, power is power. It is you who decide how you use this power. If you use it to save people then it is good and if you use it to harm them then it is evil. You have no right is to judge people by quirks when they didn't use it. Do you know how many innocent children suffers because of this quirk obsessed society rejected them for having dangerous power. People called them villains but never tried to help them, if this how the society works then the whole society is the villain. From the time I activated my quirk everyone called me a villain, my mother was harassed for raising a potential villain. That also happened today so tell me what is my fault? Is it because I exist? Why should I try to protect them who always tried to make me a villain?"
Izuku stopped his outrageous rant with some coughs before continuing "But that's not how my quirk works, when I touch anything by my left hand their life force transfered into me and if I touch a dead body with my right hand then I can bring them back to life with that life energy. Means I cannot only kill a person but I can bring the dead person back in life with another touch. It's a scientific mutation of my parents quirk. My mother can attract objects towards her and it mutated in me and I can attract energy into me and my dad could release energy which also mutated and making me able to release the energy which I can attract in me".
"What Midoriya said is true, UA took Quirk tests and he proved that he could do what he said" Nezu quickly stated knowing his words could stop the media to question about Izuku's quirk more.
Meanwhile Midnight was gaping silently now understanding why Nezu invited Izuku in the press conference 'Damn you Nezu and your brain, you knew how the reporters will react upon Midoriya's Quirk so Midoriya can smash the society with his thoughts he supressed for many years. It's a complete gamble and everything depends on the society to how they react on him'.
"Okay, fine, when you put it like that I can somehow agree with that but tonight you challanged the whole society. The HPSC is also watching this interview. If they react badly then your career will be over before it starts" the same reporter replied.
Izuku took a deep breath as his anger rising more "If they are wrong then I'll always point it out. I'll say it everytime when the society discourage Innocent lives to become a villain. There are 473 public cases where the villains accepted that path because the society rejected them in last 5 years. It's been 200 years since Quirks appeared and people still has the same mentality. People look down on them who don't have flashy quirks or some mutant type quirks. This superhuman society need to be changed or it will crumble, if not today then tomorrow, if not in your time then your children's time. And that's why I'M HERE to show the society that even with a 'villainous' Quirk like you put it I can become a hero if someone will believe in me. That's all I have to say. And one more thing, the villain attack may have put stress in our mind but we are UA class 1-A and we will not back off from our dreams for some villains bcz we will be the future of heroes".
There was a silence for some moments and the reporters couldn't find anything to speak against Izuku. There was a commanding authority in his voice made Everyone listen to him, made people believe in him, maybe he could be a politician with that mouth of his.
Then someone between the reporters started to clap "I was wrong to judge you young man before knowing you Izuku Midoriya. I remember you from the sludge villain incident where you fearlessly went to save your friend when the pros couldn't do anything in that situation. Heroism is in your blood I must say. There are very few people who can say it without hesitation that they are right even if it means they are going against everyone". Soon some other reporters also joined the first reporter while very few of them grumbled in annoyance knowing it didn't end like they wanted.
Though they did one last ditch try as one of them asked "You showed us that you will become a hero and after what you said don't you think the HPSC won't take any steps since your thoughts are kind off..."
"Vigilantism?" Izuku finished knowing where the reporter was going "I thought that you would say that but can you tell me what vigilantism is?"
The reporter frowned "It's like you don't have legal permission to use Quirks but you still use it in public".
"That's it, using Quirks in public without legal authorization but there are over 80% of people have quirks and they use it in public to make their lives easier. Like someone has a super fast quirk and they use it to carry heavy things, some have fire quirks and they use it to lit their stoves, someone has an electrification quirk who use it to charge their cellphones and like more. How can they use it since it is crime because they haven't any licence? The government let these small things slide because these small things aren't affecting others but it is still a crime by law isn't it? You can't stop normal people to make their lives easier. The law of vigilantism is 150 years old when only 30% of humanity had quirks, I think with time the law should change. Make a law where people can use their quirks in daily work and it will be solved".
Well that didn't go like the reporter wanted, the boy fearlessly challenged the HPSC, either he is dumb or he is more brave than he looks. But whatever Izuku said the public will not forget it.
'That's it Izuku Midoriya, just like I thought, make people think, many people doesn't think too much but your words will make them think. Time changed when people thinks' Nezu thought with a small smirk on his face well hidden from everyone.
"Ahem" a reporter got everyone's attention "We are out of point completely, we already heard from the class representative that while most of the students aren't physically harmed but they are stirred. How UA will approach those students and we still want to know how villains infiltrated the UA?"
Nezu cleared his throat "This happened because of the warp gate quirked villain. He somehow managed to infiltrate with his warpgate when media went berserk yesterday though we already took actions and new systems will be applied within a day to detect someone even with that warp quirk. The villain attack was a tragedy but it opened our eyes once more that we can't relax so we won't, from the next time it won't happen in UA".
"And what about the creature? The police said that it has multiple quirks, how can that happen?"
"We came to many conclusions and Izuku Midoriya also gave us a conclusion which is the most accurate. The creature Nomu was bioengineered from a human and forcefully given many quirks which made it a braindead monster only obey their master"
"Nowadays UA is taking student considerations too much" someone scoffed.
"Because they are students, future heroes, we hear everyone's opinion, if you have something to give then we will take it no matter how small it is"
The reporters muttered things between them until Nezu spoke "If we have nothing to say anything then we can end this interview, young Midoriya had a hard day, he needs rest".
Somehow no one protested which Izuku thought a bit early but them he gave them another story with his thoughts. He was feeling relieved after saying those things he wanted to say.
"One last question to Izuku Midoriya. You spoke passionately against the society's barbaric behaviours against dangerous quirk users who ended being villains. I want to ask do you have any sympathy for them even if they caused terrible crimes?"
Izuku hummed with a small sigh "To a certain point yes but I harbour nothing for those who committed serious crimes yet they still can have a second chance if they want to change but in the end it's the police's decision. And for those who just want destruction of the society, You're next". Izuku pointed his finger to the camera infront of him with a hard look that he will make them suffer.
