Chapter 169 - Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 165

Not edited.

The next few minutes became quite hectic in my infirmary room as they rearranged everything. Nezu had asked the girls to bring several chairs from nearby rooms so everyone could sit down, as the conversation was going to be quite long.

Most of the nursing supplies were moved aside or taken to other rooms as they were not needed according to Recovery Girl, so now there was space for everyone to sit down.

Even so, that involved the logistics of placing at least 15 chairs around my stretcher and a space where Shigaraki was now positioned, tightly strapped to a wheeled chair, glaring at me. To my surprise, Kurogiri was barely restrained; I suppose there weren't many ways to contain a teleporter.

Or perhaps they realized that Kurogiri had no reason to escape since AFO would kill them both when she found them.

In the room were already Nezu, the grandfather sitting to one side, All Might was next to Shigaraki and Tomura, Naomasa was also there, and curiously Gran Torino had also joined.

Ruby, Azula, and Darkness were sitting to one side, slightly apart, waiting for the others to arrive. I could see Ruby and Darkness sending messages with their Scrolls, while Azula simply ignored hers.

"I brought them." Aizawa said as he entered the room.

"Izumi! Are you okay? " Midoriya exclaimed, sounding worried as he entered the room.

"Dog, I see you're alright." Bakugou growled as she entered.

"It's good to see you're doing well," Todoroki said more calmly. I nodded in the direction of the three of them.

"That was quick. I thought it would take longer to get up, and I'm fine, perfectly fine." I said, surprised. Bakugou snorted.

"None of them are sleeping, idiot, none of them could get a wink of sleep after last night." Bakugou growled. I looked at her in surprise.

"Aizawa forbade them from coming." Izuku said timidly, and I nodded.

"They send their regards. They said they'll come when we finish this talk." Todoroki said as she looked at Aizawa, who simply took the seat where Nezu was sitting, who was now perched on his shoulder.

I guess Aizawa didn't tell him exactly why she's here, and Todoroki is terribly confused. Todoroki's gaze finally fell on the old man, and her eyes widened.

"Ryuma-sama." Todoroki said immediately as she bowed deeply.

"R-Ryuma-sama! It's a pleasure to meet you! " Izuku squealed nervously, noticing the grandfather for the first time as he bowed deeply.

"Ryuma-sama." Bakugou said, to my surprise, respectfully, like, literally, Bakugou was being respectful, what the hell. She even bowed and everything.

"I think All For One hit me harder than I thought. It's the first time I've seen the explosive Pomeranian be respectful." I said in surprise. Bakugou growled while glaring at me.

"Shut up, dog! I'll kill you! " Bakugou growled, and I sighed in relief.

"Ah, there's the Bakugou I remember. I was genuinely worried for a second." I sighed in relief. Bakugou growled again.

"Please take a seat." Nezu intervened quickly while pointing to one side. Bakugou clicked her tongue, but did as the principal ordered.

"I'm back," Taylor said as she entered the room. "I brought you some clothes." Taylor said as she held up the clothes in her arms. I blinked and looked down and saw that she was wearing a hospital gown.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Please tell me it's not open in the back." I pleaded with the girls.

"Don't worry, it's not," Taylor teased. "But I thought you'd want to change as soon as possible," she added, handing me the clothes.

"Thank you." I sighed with relief as I climbed off the stretcher. Without hesitation, I took off my clothes.

"Izumi!!" several people shouted.

"Miyamura," Aizawa grumbled, slapping his hand against his palm. I just snorted.

"Most of them here are guys, or they've already seen me naked, or I just don't care what they think, don't freak out." I sighed dryly as I put on my underwear before getting properly dressed.

"Weren't you worried about your bare butt?" Azula asked playfully. I shrugged.

"I had a nice moment with my mother; I didn't want to think about how I was standing there with my ass hanging out the whole time," I said curtly. Taylor sighed wearily as she headed toward the chair.

"I also brought your Scroll." Taylor said simply, I nodded, saw that I had a huge number of messages before putting it aside.

"Is everyone here?" I asked as I climbed back onto the cot and settled in. Just then, there was a soft knock before the door opened. Lunch-Rush came in, pushing a cart full of food.

Lunch-Rush greeted everyone in the room as she stopped beside me, first grabbing a tray full of food and handing it to me, I sighed in relief.

"Oh, thank you, you're a real lifesaver." I moaned with pleasure as I grabbed the breakfast and started eating quickly. "I haven't had a meal in two days." I moaned with pleasure as I discreetly used my quirk to enhance the food.

Lunch-Rush gave a thumbs-up, looking happy, then looked at the rest and also gave a thumbs-up while pointing at the rest of the cart full of food.

"Thank you Lunch, you shouldn't have worried. I know you're busy about to leave for Kamino to help the victims. You can go now; the other UA cooks will take care of everything," Nezu said with a smile.

Lunch-Rush shook her head, showing that it wasn't a problem, before giving a thumbs-up and quickly leaving the room. I guess she was really in a hurry to get to Kamino and prepare food.

I remember that she was able to prepare thousands of dishes in a short amount of time, so I guess it's good that she's going to help Kamino while they rebuild everyone's homes.

"Didn't they feed you, or do you think they would poison them?" Aizawa asked with a frown once Lunch-Rush left, I shrugged.

"Maybe, I think you already heard Mercury, but I made them really angry. More than one of them wanted me dead. I just threw all the food at my shadows when they weren't looking," I said simply. Aizawa gave me a blank stare, and I ignored him. "Is everyone here?" I asked between bites.

I looked around at the entire crowd, Taylor, Ruby, Azula, Darkness, Nezu, Aizawa, All Might, Ryuma, Naomasa, Gran Torino, Shigaraki, Kurogiri, Izuku, Bakugou, and Todoroki.

Including me, there were 16 people in this room.

"We are, you can begin, Miyamura," Nezu said as he nodded.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I record everything?" Naomasa asked, raising the recorder. I frowned.

"I'm sorry, old friend, but... we'll be discussing some very sensitive matters that I'd prefer not to be recorded." All Might said firmly. Naomasa nodded and pulled out a notebook.

"Very well, I'll write down everything important and leave the... sensitive parts aside." Naomasa said without even blinking.

"Are they going to remove Shigaraki's muzzle?" I asked curiously while pointing with my cutlery.

"Oh, I forgot!" All Might said, almost panicking, as he removed the restraint covering Shigaraki's mouth.

"Damn dog." Shigaraki growled, barely able to speak as she glared at me. I smiled broadly at her.

"Ah, Shigaraki, it's a pleasure to see you again." I said playfully; she just grunted. "Alright, where do we begin?" I said cheerfully.

" Um." Izuku said shyly as he raised his hand. "We still don't know what we're doing here." All Might nodded.

"You're here because you're the Heir to One For All. Everything we're about to discuss concerns you, especially since we believe that All For One, the villain we're facing, is still alive." All Might said solemnly, which seemed to surprise all the students.

Even the girls nearly stood up in surprise. Even Shigaraki looked shocked, gritting her teeth.

"What?! She's alive?! But Ryuma-sama cut her into little pieces! " Bakugou exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"And we'll get to that. For now, take a seat and stay out of it. If you have any questions or anything, you can speak up. As All Might said, you're all too involved in this to remain uninformed." Nezu said seriously. Everyone swallowed audibly as they sat back down.

"Start from the beginning, Miyamura, the attack on the camp. I suppose you had visions, judging by the way you acted." Aizawa said, taking the reins of the conversation. I nodded.

"Visions?" Naomasa asked, frowning. "I thought you had a food quirk and a shadow quirk, is there a third quirk?" I asked curiously, shaking my head.

"It's not a quirk, it's Observation Haki." Point immediately.

"Observation Haki... can do such a thing?" Izuku asked, confused.

"I have no idea, but I can do it," I said, shrugging. "I mean, my Observation Haki is what I'm most proud of out of all my abilities, but even I don't know how it works," I said, completely honest.

And I wasn't referring to my meta-knowledge of the series' canon that I disguised as 'haki,' but to the actual visions I'd had up until now. Seeing the gates shatter on I-Island and Kamino was something I truly didn't expect to happen.

"Wait, what are you most proud of? Your Observation Haki? " Bakugou asked incredulously. In fact, I could see several adults looking at me in confusion. I sighed.

"Look, I'll be the first to say I was born blessed," I said firmly. " And I'm not being arrogant, I'm being completely honest. My Total Concentration Breathing that most of you know about? I figured it out when I was 3 years old." I said directly, and I could see the teachers' eyes widen.

"I first picked up a sword at age 4, and in less than 2 years, I created more than 17 sword styles, and mastered them all within a year. Armament Haki came to me naturally and I mastered it at age 10. My Conqueror's Haki awakened at that age without me doing anything."

"And all that was before I awakened my Aura. Once I awakened it at age 10, I had more aura than the average person and excellent control; it was a piece of cake to master it." I said casually.

I could see everyone staring at me like I was some kind of monster, and I wasn't going to deny it. If a normal person could have done that, I would have had the same expression. If it weren't for the templates I was born with, I wouldn't even think I was capable of getting this far, and I was grateful for it.

"As I said, I was born blessed, by whom exactly? I have no idea, but that's how it was. The point is, Observation Haki, unlike everything else... didn't come to me naturally."

"It was... the first time I tried something and ran into the wall of the average person," I said, completely honest. "Even so, I'm stupidly stubborn; giving up isn't in my vocabulary. It took me two years to learn the basics of Observation Haki. It took me another two to master it and use it consistently in combat."

"And it took me another two years to be able to see glimpses of the future, and I still haven't fully mastered it. I can use it in combat, but I still have a long way to go to master it."

"So yes, I'm proud of everything I've accomplished so far with a sword, but I'm most proud of my Observation Haki, because it was the first thing that really took me a while to master." I said, completely proud.

Everyone remained silent while looking at me with different expressions that I didn't want to discover, but everything broke down after a huff from Shigaraki.

"You sound like some damn rich kid complaining about having to work for the first time to buy food," Shigaraki mocked after a few seconds. I blinked before bursting out laughing.

"Yes, exactly," I said playfully, with a huge smile. "Even so... I haven't the slightest idea about my visions," I said, shrugging.

"I might have a theory," Grandpa said casually, and we all looked at him. "Detecting presence, emotions, intentions, and strength are the basic uses of that type of Haki, but people who are able to take it to a much more advanced level are able to see the immediate future."

"Only people have been recorded who are able to see a few seconds, up to a dozen seconds, into the future. I don't know anyone capable of seeing the past, years into the past, or even distant futures."

"Especially when the vision of the future can only be interpreted through the individual's own senses, you can only 'feel' what your future self feels. Anything else is... unheard of." The grandfather said with a frown, and I grimaced.

"Even so, he has visions." Aizawa remarked with a grimace, and the grandfather nodded.

"And for a long time I wondered why. And I think it's simply an… interaction between his Observation Haki and his selfless state." Grandpa said, and I blinked for a few seconds.

"What?" I asked, confused. Grandpa sighed as he crossed his arms.

"Return to your disinterested state, your natural state, stop exaggerating your emotions," Grandpa ordered. I frowned, but nodded. I took a deep breath and slapped my face hard. I exhaled and... let it all go. Finally, I released the mask, lowered my hands, and looked straight ahead.

"""eh?""" more than one person murmured, confused, as they looked at me.

"I... for a few seconds I felt like Miyamura disappeared," Todoroki said, confused. "I know he can make his presence disappear and all that, he uses it in training, but... it's never been like that before, especially when we were looking at him head-on." Several others nodded in confusion.

"Exactly, Izumi is naturally in that state; he doesn't emanate any emotion, absolutely nothing, even when he's exaggerating his emotions. When he exerts himself, he... fades from the senses. Most of us are unconsciously accustomed to sensing the presence of others with senses other than our eyes."

"When Izumi erases all of his presence, all of his emotions, it confuses your brain and momentarily erases him from your vision," the grandfather said nonchalantly.

"Does it have any point?" I asked monotonously. Grandpa rolled his eyes.

"My theory is that your own haki is confused by your lack of emotions. While you need to be calm to use observation haki, there's a huge difference between being calm and having no emotions at all."

"It's possible that, with your lack of presence and emotions, your Haki is too sensitive and merges with that of the person you're looking at, like a kind of resonance. Then you see that person's past and future as if you were them, even if you weren't present; you can see it because your Haki is clinging to the victim's." The grandfather said with a frown.

I blinked a couple of times, then wrinkled my face to move it more naturally again. Finally, I looked at Grandpa.

"That... is as good a theory as any." I said with a grimace and a shrug. I mean, I wasn't going to dismiss an excuse like that.

"Leaving that aside, it's not as if 'how' it happens matters; what matters is that Miyamura sees it all, and so far, he hasn't been wrong." Nezu said, nodding. "If you could, Young Miyamura," Nezu said, looking at me. I nodded.

"Okay, right, visions, let's see, I'd like to summarize everything I saw, but I suppose the more details, the better, right? " I asked dryly. Everyone nodded without hesitation. I sighed. "Then let me sort through my thoughts. It's a lot of information."

"And for the record, I mean, I can see the past, and 'a future' sometimes, sometimes it's completely wrong, other times it's not, sometimes what I see is partially true."

"Like... I got to see Taylor grow up in Brockton Bay and not in Japan, but... I got to see how she used her quirk, new ideas, new ways, other tactics that she is able to recreate with accuracy."

"So, while there are many things that are true, I mean, I don't think you should dismiss anything I say, but be prepared for some of what I say to be false at some point." I quickly warned them, and they nodded.

Well, it's time to talk a lot.
