“Students. I’m sure you’re all curious why you’re being taken out of your usual lesson but trust me when I say that your curiosity is well worth it” Nezu said while the class of 1-A stood before him.
All of them stood before the doors to what seemed like an indoor training facility on UA grounds. Though one that they had obviously never used being their second day back at school after the USJ attack. So their fifth day at UA not counting the day they had taken the physical examinations then gone home straight after.
“Excuse me Principal Nezu” Momo said with her arm raised up elegantly.
“Ah, Miss Yaoyorozu. What’s your question?”
“Is this some sort of special training facility?” She asked curiously, though keeping her voice controlled and calm as she did so.
“No. This is one of our regular training grounds that you can book for personal training at any point. It’s what’s inside that is special! But we should probably go inside before Miss Hagakure tries anything sneaky” He said, turning to the side where an empty uniform floating in midair jumped and a feminine yelp came from it before slumping over.
“Sorry Principal Nezu..”
“As you should be. Now let’s get going!” He cheered as he walked inside the gym, with the class following a few steps behind him.
What met them was a sight that none of them could have been expecting or prepared for on even the best of days. Aizawa Shouta, their homeroom teacher, speaking to a taller, more mature, differently dressed version of their class’s very own Midoriya Izuku.
On instinct most of the class looked over to see their Izuku, staring at the scene with just as much, if not more, shock than any of them were. His green eyes wide and unblinking.
“Deku!” Nezu cried out, the second Midoriya looking over from his conversation with Aizawa and his eyes widening for a moment before he jogged over.
As he jogged over, giving them a better view of him and his drastically different uniform compared to during the battle trial. Uraraka beginning to turn bright red as his more defined and mature looks very quickly began to affect her.
“Class 1-A meet your classmate Midoriya Izuku. Otherwise known as the Provisional Hero: Deku. From one year in the future”
“WHAT!?” Deku and Aizawa both covered their ears at the loud shout from the class.
“HE’S FROM THE FUTURE!?”
“HOW DID HE GET HERE!?”
“HOW THE FUCK DID SHITTY DEKU GET A PROVISIONAL LICENSE!?” Deku gave an exasperated look at Bakugou, surprising the ones who noticed how Izuku usually reacted to Bakugou.
“Jeez I forgot how prickly you used to be Kacchan..” His voice was deeper and seemed to somehow be more powerful, carrying a confidence that the current him seemed to be missing.
“The fuck do you mean by that you little shit!?”
“Well before Bakugou gets injured in a fight that’s above his level how about we let him explain?” Nezu said, ignoring Deku behind him waving his arms around and making a slicing motion over his neck before straightening out and scratching the back of his head.
“So while we were uhh….fighting a villain group. One of them used their Quirks to enhance the others and I pushed you guys away so that no one got caught in it but well….i did. And…here I am?” He finished lamely, smiling nervously at the class.
“That’s so anticlimactic.” Kaminari whined, getting a momentary deadpan from Deku, remembering the truth behind what he had said before his face straightened out again.
“That may be so. But you see, Deku here is stuck in our time now” Deku nodded comically behind him “So during a discussion last night. We had the idea to see how much one years training has done to his skills and power”
“You want us to fight him!? He’ll either destroy us in one move or destroy himself in one move!” Mina yelled while paling and flinching back.
“Wha? Oh! No. I’ve grown past that now. No 100% shots for me or for you. But….me. Don’t be afraid to do whatever you can to me. Trust me I’ll be able to handle it” Deku said with a grin while backing up.
As Deku backed up they all looked between each other nervously, unsure how to react to this new Midoriya. Who seemed so much more confident and, to them, cocky.
“Deku. They have to get changed into their hero costumes!” Nezu pointed out helpfully, getting Deku to yelp and trip over his own feet, stumbling backwards.
Most of the students from 1-A began to laugh, Izuku blushing in embarrassment at his older self’s actions as he stood up and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“Sorry guys! Go do that first” He laughed.
Awkwardly the class began to file into some changing rooms, Deku going back to talking to Aizawa as Nezu joined in on the conversation.

“So uhh, Midoriya. Do you have any idea what’s up with….new you?” Sero asked while making sure his pants were on correctly.
“N-No…H-h-he’s like a completely different person…” Midoriya muttered nervously, just changing into the regular UA sports uniform because his uniform still hadn’t been fixed yet.
“It doesn’t fucken matter! He’s still fucking Deku and he’ll still go down like fucking Deku!” Bakugou yelled while fitting one of his grenade gauntlets on.
“T-that’s mean Kacchan…”
“Shut the fuck up Deku!”
“A-ah! Sorry!” Izuku rushed to tie up his shoes while ducking his head.

Training Gym, five minutes later
Deku looked over the younger versions of his class, now able to get physical proof of how far they had all progressed since the USJ. Some more notable changes flashing through his mind as he looked at certain people. Images of Stain and All for One flashing through his mind.
Hearing the doors open he flinched back as he saw the muscly, buffed up form of All Might. Something he hadn’t seen in over half a year for more than a brief few seconds. The class seeing him and looking at him with a familiar awe that made Deku smile.
“Hahaha! I am here like an ordinary teacher!” He cheered jovially while closing the doors and walking over, immediately noticing Deku.
While outwardly he didn’t change other than tilting his head, the No. 1 Hero was internally freaking out. Looking his protégé from the future up and down. Looking at the differences in his costume now and the flimsy costume he had worn during the battle training. And not only that but his entire stance and demeanor seemed different to his current protégé.
“Young Midoriya I-“
“We’re calling him his Hero name: Deku, to avoid confusion” Nezu supplied helpfully, an almost visible question mark appearing above All Might’s head before he turned back to Deku.
“R-Right. Young Deku! I see you’ve certainly grown in the year to come! Made some fantastic upgrades as well!” He said, clapping the boy on the shoulder.
“Yep! Lots and….lots and lots of lessons and experience” He said sheepishly, looking away pointedly as all three teachers focused their eyes on him.
“Well ignoring that” Nezu said, having been the only one who’s heard the entire story “All Might! Please stand over by the side while I explain the rules”
The older Pro hesitantly nodded and walked over to the side as Aizawa did the same, said Underground Hero resting against the wall and relaxing.
“Now! This will be a full on fight against Deku. With both Aizawa and All Might here feel free to go all out, nothing extremely dangerous will happen. I assure you all” Both sides of the conflict seemed to physically deflate in relief, a few of the younger students even sighing in relief “And Deku!” He stood up straight again “For a fun little showcase. Why don’t you go through your abilities and moves as you came up with them? Chronologically” Nezu explained.
Deku smiled and nodded, stretching his arm and hearing a pop come from his right arm. Quite a few eyes widening at the loudness of the pop but just believing it to be due to a lack of movement.
“Sure. I don’t have a problem with that at all Principal Nezu” He said with a smile, looking back over at his younger friends.
“Great! And remember that it’s okay to go all out!” With that reminder he began to walk back over to All Might and Aizawa.
With only the sound of Nezu’s footsteps many of the students began to tense up at what they believed would be a quick defeat of Deku. Deku himself stretching one last time before crouching down, seemingly muttering to himself.
“Should I go with Togata-senpai’s strategy?” He looked over at Nezu “P-Principal Nezu am I trying to end it as fast as possible?...”
“No, no. That’s no fun! Try to push them as far as you can until you reach the end of your moveset!”
“Right. Thank you Principal Nezu!” He called out before looking back at the class “Man this brings back memories, though it was a third year we were fighting back then. But I'll be starting out easy, so it’ll be pretty….uh, rough. On me. You guys know how the me now is?” After a few hesitant nods from the class he smiled more “Well it's not exactly too sustainable for a Hero career so I found a safer way to use my Quirk”
Many eyes widened at that. Most noticeably was Midoriya’s own eyes as he stared at the provisional Hero as sparkling red veins began to appear over his skin before bursting into small, green, sparks of electricity jumping off his skin.
“W-what the hell is that!?” Mineta yelled in fear.
“Full Cowling: 5%” Midoriya answered, though it felt more like a statement to everyone than an answer to his question.
“Begin!”
Izuku shot off, but not directly at them like they guessed he would. Instead he began to bounce off the walls and floor in an erratic pattern, building up speed as people huddled together or split up while desperately looking around. Meanwhile All Might began to shiver and break out in a nervous sweat.
“H-He learnt from him? ” He muttered to himself in fear.
“Along with Full Cowling came a new style of movement, a signature move of the teacher who taught me this” Deku explained before finally attacking.
Hitting the ground after building up enough speed he burst forward and struck Kirishima with a punch, pausing for a second as he watched Kirishima’s hardened arms nearly break their defensive position just from the force. The red haired teen yelping in surprise before Deku took off again right as Dark Shadow, Aoyama’s laser and Bakugou attacked the spot he had been, all three of them hitting each other.
Deku winced as he watched Dark Shadow screech and whimper from the bright light while Bakugou began cursing. Movement from the corner of his eye catching his attention and making him hit the wall and push himself off with a twirl as Satou appeared in the air and struck where he had been with a powerful grunt. Unfortunately also getting his arm trapped in the wall while Deku continued his erratic movements. The sound of crystalline ice, intimately familiar by now, was the only warning Izuku got to flip mid air, landing feet first on the wall to stop himself from face planting.
Feeling something wrap around his arms and chest he blinked in surprise and snapped his head around to see that it was Tsuyu’s tongue before she began to drag him in. Uraraka and Iida next to her readying combat stances, Uraraka’s uncomfortably unstable from what he was used to. With a short laugh he quickly spoke up.
“After developing Full Cowl I ran into a villain that I needed to revert back to my destructive habits to beat. My arms were totally destroyed-“ Tsuyu’s tongue unwrapped and he used the spin she unintentionally gave him to block one of Iida’s kicks with one of his own, shocking nearly everyone “So I developed my Shoot Style of fighting” He said cheekily before pushing off the ground with one leg and kicking Iida again with the other, not doing much damage but forcing him back into Tsuyu and Uraraka.
Despite how strange it sounded to hear it, the sound of a cry from himself was what told him danger was coming next. Tensing his body in preparation he then felt the gale force winds from his younger self’s finger flick. Striking the wall with a groan as he created a small crater. Gravity starting to peel him out and making him start tumbling out and towards the ground, seemingly uncontrollably.
“NOW I FUCKING HAVE YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT!” Bakugou roared victoriously, running forward to inevitably slam him into the wall either bodily or through his quirk.
“Young Baku-!” All Might managed to get out before Aizawa held his hand out to stop him from moving.
“Full Cowling Shoot Style: 8%”
Deku’s feet hit the wall and he shot off in Gran Torino’s signature style once again. Avoiding Bakugou’s explosion and hearing a scream of frustration. Unfortunately the rest of the class had begun to realise he could take what they were throwing out and began to amp up the Quirks and power a bit. So just to make it a bit more difficult he hit the ground and didn’t jump back up again, instead launching into proper melee with the younger versions of his classmates.
Donkey kicking Shouji, the sadly battle-hardened teen pressed off the ground and flipped over Jirou’s earjacks before seeing Kirishima charging him as he landed. With a quick push off he spun and hit one of Kirishima’s hardened arms with his heel, instantly flinging it off to the side and unbalancing him as Izuku followed up his kick with a punch to the face.
Going to take his next step he yelped as his foot slipped on ice and sent him ass over head as he hit the floor on his back and kept sliding. Ice soon enveloping everything except his head. Bakugou screaming in outrage and getting in Todoroki’s face as the rest of the class began to wind down.
“So uhhh, Principal Nezu? I have a question?” Deku asked, immensely calm despite his supposed loss.
“Hm? Yes Deku?”
“So my next improvement was something I developed while still using 8% safely. Back then it used to hurt to use it but now I can use it like 8% so should I just skip everything in between?...” The wave of dread his nonchalant question spread through the class was almost palpable.
And Nezu lived for these moments.
“Why of course! Go right ahead Deku!” The provisional Hero nodded before his face screwed up.
Todoroki flexed his leg and covered Deku entirely in a small glacier. Only for his eyes to widen as a crack appeared before with a burst of air a chunk of his glacier shot out and hit the roof like a bullet. Their opponent jumping out while shivering slightly and rubbing his arms.
“J-Jeez Todoroki-kun…..I-I forgot you were still pretty strong even before the f-festival” he said, the son of Endeavour narrowing his eyes at the words chosen.
“MIDORIYAAAAA!” His shivering stopped and he looked out of the corner of his eyes to see some of Sero’s tape and some of Mina’s acid racing through the air behind him.
To the students. Not used to real battles and not having gone through attack after attack like his own class, he simply disappeared. Gone in a crack of cement of displaced air. To the teachers however they were able to follow him, All Might with ludicrous ease as they looked up to see him hit the ceiling feet first, looking down at the confused class.
What was the kicker, especially to All Might, was the dark look that passed through Deku’s eyes. Watching his face scrunch up with such a darkness and hatred that the Symbol of Peace could almost feel All for One destroying his organs again. But as quick as it appeared it smoothed over and disappeared, just as Deku did.
“Manchester Smash!” The heel of Izuku’s foot hit the ground right before the start of the glacier and the entire gym shook .
Students screamed as the gym floor segmented into massive boulders that stood up on odd and uneven levels, knocking at least half of the class to the floor as Deku stood up straight and took a deep breath out.
“Full Cowling Shoot Style: 20%” Everyone froze at those words, staring back at Deku and then to Izuku who stood frozen. A look of terror on his face.
Deku wouldn’t lie, at least not to himself, seeing the younger version of him scared of the power he had now, even without going all out…It made him feel horrible. Realising that this was a class who hadn’t gone through the war. Through Endeavour fighting the high-end. Through Overhaul or the training camp or Stain or the sports festival . And suddenly the realisation of the fact that it had been two days since the USJ hit him full force. His own memories of the days following the attack catching up to him. Remembering how nervous and on edge he had been after healing up and now this 1-A didn’t get time to relax from the attack. Almost immediately going up against yet another foe who outclassed them so much.
Deku sighed and relaxed, taking a more at ease stance with one hand on his hip as he looked over towards the three teachers by the wall, two of which looked at him in shock.
“Principal Nezu. I think they’re hitting their limit. It’s….It’s cruel to go further” He said remorsefully, looking out at the class who suddenly seemed like such strangers that it hurt .
“W-We can keep going!” Kirishima groaned while breathing slightly heavily.
“Perhaps physically but Deku’s right. None of you are in the right headspace right now. He’s freaked you out too much” Aizawa muttered.
“Like fuck I’m scared of Deku!” Katsuki yelled while jumping in the air, pops like firecrackers coming off of his palms.
“Kacchan….One day you learn some restraint. Today probably isn’t it” He sighed to himself, holding his hand over his shoulder and hitting Bakugou with one of his Air Force shots.
The spiky haired teen hit the ground like an anvil, gasping and writhing around weakly. Obviously having been winded by the surprisingly well aimed shot. The class allowing themselves to relax and/or collapse as Deku walked over to the teachers.
“J-Jeez Deku-kun…..O-older you is strong” Uraraka groaned while rubbing her stomach where Iida had impacted her earlier.
“Y-yeah….” Izuku muttered with wide eyes as his older self talked to the teachers, seeming to get annoyed with something.
“I for one think it’s incredibly admirable how much you grow in a single year! As class representative and a fellow Hero Student I shall strive to improve just as much!” Iida announced while chopping his arm up and down, getting a croak from Tsuyu and a slight giggle from Uraraka.
“H-hey guys?...”
“Yeah Deku-kun?”
“Does older me look like he’s getting angry?” They all looked over at that, seeing that whatever the quiet conversation was between the four Heroes it was obviously starting to break down.
“Yeah…Jeez, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so confident….or so angry” Ochako muttered, her eyebrows creasing in worry.
“I-I don’t think I have either…” He muttered, unaware of the worried glances that got him in return.
“SHE’S A SIX YEAR OLD GIRL!” The entire class looked over in shock at Deku’s furious shout, everyone going silent to allow them to hear the conversation.
“Look Deku, I realise that but there are rules- “ Aizawa started before Deku swiping his arm in front of him.
“I’m a Provisional Hero! I know what’s happening to her Sensei and I can’t let it happen! Not again! It will be over half a year before younger me even gets close to meeting her!”
“Deku-kun?...”
“I-I have no idea….” Izuku muttered worriedly.
“Young Mi-Deku. I understand but if things worked out before then perhaps-“
“NO! YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! NONe- None of you do! None of you can! I just….Argghhhh!” Deku groaned and clutched some of his hair between his fingers before looking back up at the teachers with a look with so much determination Izuku was almost certain this was somehow more important to his older self than even becoming a hero.
“Hmmm. Deku, I have a proposition for you” Nezu announced, a soft, almost unheard wave of gasps running through the gym.
At Deku’s curious but accepting nod the rodent, bear, chimera-thing continued with his ever-present smile and chipper tone.
“We will help you rescue this Eri. Even let you participate-“ He held a hand up at Deku’s elated expression and watched him deflate like a balloon “But you must fight All Might”
“Y-You can’t do that!” Everyone turned to look at the younger Midoriya as Deku looked down, his hair overshadowing his eyes.
“That’s not fair sensei! It’s All Might! No one can beat him!” Kaminari yelled out, being rational for once.
“All Might.” The Hero looked over at Deku upon hearing his name, and promptly felt his eyes widen in shock.
In front of him was an Izuku Midoriya that he always knew could be but in the present day seemed so far off. A hero who always did the right thing and who fought not only to win but to protect . A Hero who had enough determination to go up against All for One and not back down if it meant saving even one person.
“Fight me.” In the silence that followed everyone could hear and see Izuku run up and clutch his older counterparts shoulders, shaking him violently.
“A-are you crazy! It’s All Might! A-All Might! The number one! You don’t stand a chance! T-there’s no point in even-“ His actions were stopped in an instant as Deku tensed up, not even allowing Izuku to move him as he looked down at him.
(And wasn’t that just another kick in the face to the newly minted ninth OFA user)
“Look….me. Midoriya. Izuku . One day, hopefully, you’ll understand. But at the moment, you can’t. I’m sorry but it’s the truth. So many things have happened since the USJ. Good, bad and somewhere in between. And it hurt to go through them. So unbelievably much. But I’m here now . I’m making sure that you. All of you-“ He looked out towards the class “don’t have to go through what we did. So I’m going to fight. And even if I have to push myself to my limits, I will win” He pulled himself out of Izuku’s grip and moved further onto the destroyed gym floor and took a comfortable position, sliding into a fighting stance and eyeing down his predecessor.
All Might uncomfortably stood across from Deku as the class rapidly cleared over to the wall next to Aizawa and Nezu to give the two of them space.
“Young Deku…Are you certain you want to do this?”
“I let her go once All Might. That’s one time too many” Deku said seriously, spiking the curiosity of the class.
“If you really wish…But Young Deku surel-“
“Start!” Nezu announced, startling All Might while Deku immediately shot forward.
Multiple shouts came from the class as All Might let his reflexes take over and blocked the kick from their future classmate. Kicking up the wind inside the gym as Deku twisted his hips to swing his left leg towards the Heroes stomach. Once again being blocked, this time by All Might’s other arm. And all at once Toshinori’s vision was filled with nothing but the incoming fist of his future protégé. The hit landing squarely between his eyes, at the bridge of his nose.
But let it not be said that All Might wasn’t the strongest Hero in Japan for a very good reason. The older Hero tanking the hit which snapped his head back with almost no damage, sending Deku flying back using the two arms he had been blocking with. Deku’s iron-clad feet striking the wall as he twisted his body midair, with a determined glare the sparks around him grew in intensity and he shot off, once again mimicking Gran Torino’s fighting style.
“Deku-kun look! Future you is fighting All Might! ” Uraraka said excitedly while trying to follow the two fighters as All Might began to move around on the ground to throw Deku off.
“I know…” He muttered, feeling like he was going to be sick.
Izuku had no idea what had happened in the future but he had no idea how he had become such an idiot! I mean this was All Might! The greatest hero ever! No one could match him. And his older self had so willingly jumped into an impossible fight that it left his head hurting trying to think about what could even make him think it was a good idea.
“Who is this young girl to you Young Deku? To so willingly fight me. She must be important!” All Might asked, his voice carrying over the winds as Deku dodged another punch from him and hit All Might with one of his own, the man tanking it just like usual.
“She’s…..She’s…She’s the closest thing I have to a little sister. Or to a daughter. Her life was just beginning to look up when I was taken away! I can’t let her go through months more of that hell!” A massive wind picked up as Deku preemptively let off a kick that All Might ran into, flinging the man back until he dug his feet into the floor.
The Hero winced and flinched slightly as the entire left side of his body flared in pain from the hit that he had just taken, even though he outwardly kept his composure and stood up straight before taking off again.
‘ Of course. Young Midoriya knows of my weakness. And if this matters to him as much as I think it does, he’s willing to exploit that. Just like he’s willing to exploit my compassion to make sure I don’t go all out ’ The Hero thought even as he nailed Deku with a 50% punch that sent him careening into a wall.
The wall cracked and exploded in dust as Deku struck it and was buried inside it. His forearms and hands hanging limply along with his head, though his slight groans of pain let everyone know he was still alive.
“Feh. I don’t know what the damn nerd expected. It’s fucken All Might” Bakugou scoffed while looking away.
“And he looked so determined as well…” Mina whined.
“I mean. I guess that’s sorta expected. It’s All might. He’s number one for a reason you know” Ojiro muttered while shrugging his shoulders.
“Deku! It appears you’ve lost!” Nezu said, far too cheerfully as both Aizawa and All Might gave him warning glances that rolled straight off his uncaring aura “And as such we won’t be searching for this ‘Eri’ girl. Things worked out well the first time. I’m certain they’ll work out the same this time too” He said, beginning to take steps to leave the gym, as did the rest of 1-A.
But not Aizawa and All Might, the both of whom froze as a feeling began to creep up on them. Too subtle for any of the students to feel yet but strong enough for their enhanced senses to pick up.
“Young Deku?...” All Might asked, turning around and catching the class's attention as he did.
“Worked out well the first time?” Deku muttered darkly while his body began to shake “You think it worked out well the first time?” Everyone could hear the fury in his voice.
“Why yes! Of course” Nezu chirped “It was just a small task force to rescue one girl, correct? How much harm could that possibly cause?”
“Mirio-senpai’s Quirk…” Everyone blinked in confusion at that “Sir Nighteye’s life …” Toshinori felt something small but powerful shatter inside him.
“Sir Nighteye die-“
“ A little girls smile! ” Small sparks jumped off his skin and he pulled himself out of the wall, his feet landing on the ground before the feeling the teachers had been sensing exploded .
The students felt like the gravity had suddenly increased in the gym as many of them began to pale and break out in cold sweats.
‘ T-This intimidation! W-what is this? ’ Izuku thought while staring at his older self as the green lightning surrounding him exploded in size and intensity, the winds beginning to pick up around him as he slowly raised his head.
“She can’t smile All Might! He took that from her! Her smile! Her innocence! Her hope! She has nothing! ” Deku screamed, as his mentor could now see his eyes, glowing with intensity and anger.
The aura surrounding Deku suddenly changed, one ever so slight but noticeable enough as he thrust his arm forward. And suddenly tendrils of black energy were wrapped around the Pro Hero, tightening like vices before the teen ripped his arm back and pulled All Might towards him. The man’s eyes widening in surprise and allowing Izuku to get a 55% hit directly to his face, going over his usual 45% limit when striking.
The bulky Hero shot away from the teen with the sound of a gunshot and Izuku was quick to follow, having to prematurely change courses to avoid All Might’s fist which shot out of the dust.
“Was that a second Quirk!?”
“What the fuck is happening!?”
“They experiment on her!” Deku flicked three bullets of air at All Might “They cut her up over and over again until she breaks and Overhaul just breaks her apart and rebuilds her!” All Might blanched at the inhumane treatment Deku was describing “They’re turning her into bullets All Might! Bullets to be used on Heroes! Civilians! Even other villains!”
“Young Deku! Why would they even do such a thing!?” The fists were flying now as he whizzed around the cracked and disheveled gym floor.
“She can rewind things All Might! Injuries! Scars! Broken bones like I used to suffer! Gone in an instant! He’s cutting her up to get her blood and cells! To get rid of Quirks!” Deku screamed, his voice cracking and growing hoarse as his movements seemed to get more frantic.
Neither of them heard the horrified gasps from the class and the shocked widening of Aizawa’s eyes. Some of the girls covering their mouths with their hands and tears forming in the corners of their eyes.
“I understand and I promise I’ll do my bes-“ But now Deku was on a roll, beginning to rant.
“And those bullets can’t be made! They can’t be perfected! So many people lost their Quirks! Aizawa-sensei! Gran Torino! Nejire-senpai!” All Might went to punch Deku as he was falling only to miss as the teen suddenly just…. stopped midair before twisting and kicking him back.
“So I’m sorry if none of you want to help but if I have to go and save her myself then I will! I refuse to leave her there any longer because I’M HER HERO! ” All Might’s eyes widened and he raised his hang right as Deku’s leg struck it.
An explosion of pebbles and dust made the class cough and desperately rub their eyes to try and see the two in action again. What met them was an oddly calm and still All Might letting go of Deku’s leg so that he could land on his feet.
“Young Deku. That’s enough. ” He muttered in a soft voice before turning over to Nezu “ Principal Nezu. Even if you wont. I will be helping Young Deku” Both of them blinked in surprise as Nezu began to laugh.
“Excellent! You’re even better than I hoped you would be Deku! Worry not. I will also be aiding in the rescue of this ‘Eri’. I was always planning to! Me saying otherwise was just a test to both rile you up and test your determination!” He said, getting a slack jawed look from the teen as the principal turned around and began walking out of the gym properly this time.
“Hah hah hah! There you go Young Deku! You’ll be able to save Young Eri and…..Y-Young Deku?” The Hero stuttered and leant back at the dark look in Deku’s eyes before he raised his arm up in a flicking motion towards Nezu.
“Deku no!”
“Midoriya don’t!”
“ YOUNG DEKU STOP!”
