chapter 18
It was the day after the sports festival the school decided to give the students a well deserved break by giving them a three day break. The whole world was still in shock about the image that was engraved in their heads due to the winner of the festival having scars and extensive damage to his upper body as if he was fresh from the morgue. Izuku went to the bathroom and prepared himself for the day the second he stepped out his mother greeted him "Good morning my festival champion" she said while embracing him as tightly as possible.
“Mom, I love you and everything. But these hugs are going to choke me out if you keep doing them.” “Sorry sweetie.” Inko let go with Izuku giving a smile at her. “So what did you plan to do today?” “I was going to go and meet up with Nejire and Ochako. Nejire wanted me to meet her parents since she talked about me to them and asked Ochako to come as well as an example that we’re in that kind of relationship.” Inko understood and smiled at her son before he tied his shoes and left. “Make sure to tell your girlfriends I said hello.” “I will.”
As Izuku walked out, he started to think of how far he’s come in the time 11 months ago. If he would’ve said what his life became to his former self, he’d think he’s crazy. As Izuku made his arrival at the train station, Izuku was met with Nejire and two older people that looked like her coming off the train. “Izu!” Nejire hugged Izuku with his mind going a mile a minute. “Nejire, what are you doing here? I thought I was coming to you.” “Sorry, but things changed with Ochako sending us both a text a little while ago.” Izuku looked at his phone to realize he didn’t feel it vibrate. “Whoops, guess I forgot we had off today and didn’t put it on sound.”
The four started to walk to Ochako’s with Nejire’s father Heiwa began to ask a few questions about Izuku. “You’re Izuku Midoriya correct? Nejire has said you are quite the nice boy. How did you and her meet?” “By me and Ochako finding him right after he jumped off a building trying to kill himself.” Both parents stopped. “Uhh, quite a way to meet someone.” Both teens nodded as they came near Ochako’s house.
Izuku began to knock on the apartment door for a bulky man to answer it. “Can I help you kid?” “Uh, is Ochako Uraraka he-” “Mr. Uraraka, nice to see you again!” Nejire smiled at the large man for his demeanor to be that of a kind man. “Well isn’t this a surprise, the Hado’s are here. It’s been too long.” “It certainly has Maruki. How are both you and Kurumi?” “We’re hanging in there. What about you and Shurui?” “Likewise.
As the adults spoke, Ochako ran out to hug Izuku. “Izu!” Mr. Uraraka saw this and began asking questions about the boy. “So this is the Midoriya kid my daughter talks about?” “Funny, Nejire talks about him as well.” Both fathers glare at Izuku as Ochako motions them inside. They sit down with Ochako’s mother coming out with refreshments. “Alright kid, what’s your story with our daughters?”
Izuku started to think of the best way to explain it with Nejire and Ochako hugging him with a smile while saying in unison. “He’s our boyfriend.” Everyone froze as Kurumi and Shurui started shrieking in happiness for their daughters having a boyfriend. “Wait, why are you both dating the same guy?” The two began to explain how they met Izuku and how they’ve helped him since the incident. They spoke about how they began to fall in love with him and how they both confessed to him. The Uraraka’s kinda freaked when they heard the part about suicide, but calmed down when they found out Izuku is happy and healthy now.
“There's still one thing I don’t get. How are you alive? A fall like that in the shape these two said you were in, you should’ve been dead long before now.” Izuku pulled out a small bolt he had in his pocket to show to everyone and put it on the table. “When I fell, my quirk activated for the first time.” Izuku touched the bolt for it to turn to dust. “I can pull the life energy out of things and use it’s power.” He touched the rusted bits again for the bolt to revitalize back into the bolt. “Or use it on something else. It affects the natural order of things, and revitalized me back to what I was to some extent.
At this moment, Maruki noticed the face of the boy to realize who he was. “You’re the kid who won the first years Sports Festival, aren’t you?” Izuku rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. “...Wait, so that kid that looked like he was one hit away from dying was Ochako’s boyfriend all along?” Ochako nodded with Nejire resting her head on Izuku. “Jeez kid, what happened to you?” “You don’t want to know.” Maruki got this and backed off the topic. “Well why don’t I make us some lunch. I’m sure we’ll get to know each other better when we get something in us.” Kurumi went into the kitchen with Shurui following to help. The group spent the afternoon talking and embarrassing their kids in front of Izuku to have a good laugh. It was soon that the relationship was accepted by both parents of Nejire and Ochako the only condition was to treat them well.
Meanwhile at UA
Nezu called Aizawa in to speak with him about something he had seen the day of the Sports Festival. “Aizawa, you told me of Midoriya’s scars, but neglected to tell me how bad they were. Why?” “That was not on purpose. I didn’t realize how bad his scars were until that moment.” The small rodent sighed before turning his chair to see outside his window. “It’s a shame when a child of his age has that much damage. I will ask Recovery Girl if there is any chance to repair such damage.” “I asked her already and she said there's no way. If they were fresh, maybe. But I noticed that they looked rather old.” Nezu held his head down while looking at a report he had obtained from Aizawa about something he learned at the USJ. “Continue keeping an eye on Bakugou. When the Work Studies are over, we will reveal this information depending on what the agency he chose says.
Time skip back to school
Izuku, Nejire and Ochako were on their usual train to school when one of the other passengers called out to Izuku. "Midoriya Izuku" when Izuku stopped his conversion with Ochako and Nejire as he looked up to the direction he heard his name. "I knew it was you Congratulations on winning the sports festival" many of the other passengers then complimented him he blushed when he got off his day seemed to have gotten better.
When Izuku and Ochako walked in the whole class was excited for being recognized for their efforts in the Sports festival. When the bell rang, Izuku noticed Iida didn't do his usual routine and thought something was wrong. There wasn't much time to talk to him because Aizawa had walked in "Hello class welcome back I'd like to congratulate all of you for a job well done in your performance in the festival. Now moving forward we have the internships and for now we choose hero names.” Everyone cheered as Aizawa started to show a chart on the screen.
“The names and numbers next to them up here are to show how many offers that person has. Even if you did not get drafted by an agency, you will choose from a list of 40 different agencies.” As Izuku looked up above, he noticed he had over 5 thousand people interested in him. Bakugou on the other hand, was about to lose it seeing that he was third under Todoroki. At this moment, Midnight came in to start helping with making the names for everyone. The students were given a marker and a dry erase board to make a name for themself. The name would be original and be allowed in order for them to use it.
Five minutes passed with some students ready to show what they had. Some were surprisingly accepted with a few tweaks like Ayoyama’s ‘I cannot stop twinkling’ being turned to ‘Can’t stop twinkling’. Others like ‘Alien Queen’ for Ashido was denied in thoughts of copyright. One after another, people started showing their names with Todoroki and Iida choosing their own name. Finally, it was coming to a close.
For years, Izuku always believed he would make a name similar to AllMights. But after what he did to the green haired boy, he began to try and think of something different. ‘Something original and realistic towards me….That’s it!’ Izuku wrote down what he had in mind and got up to the podium.
“Why that one man?” “The way my quirk works is it’s held in my body and is used as an indirect way to transfer things. It’s also an example of how something can drastically change your way of thinking. So as a way to show how things will change for others around me my hero name will be The Life hero Catalyst.” Izuku smiled with everyone agreeing that there wouldn’t be a better name for him. In the end, the only person that couldn’t get a name was Bakugou since he always put ‘murder’ in his ideas.
When everyone had received a list of what agencies they were able to select from, many had gotten 2 sheets with agency names except Izuku and Shoto who received a book size list. Izuku saw many top ranking pros offering him a shot to intern like Gang orca, Miruko the rabbit hero, Edgeshot just to name some of the high ranking heroes who wanted him. He then thought about it more carefully what could each of them offer for example Miruko could teach him how to improve in hand to hand combat plus she could also recommend a solid fighting style that will suit him. Then there was Edgeshot he could possibly ask to learn how to use his sword more effectively and Lastly Gang Orca could teach him leadership skills needed to carefully analyze the situation correctly but he could also learn Hand to hand combat Gang Orca isn't a slouch in that department either.
One name did catch Izuku's eye. It was Gran Torino although an unknown hero to him he decided to choose him as his 4th choice he'd decided to ask principal Nezu on who this hero was. After all was said and done he turned in his form noticing Iida's form only had one agency Manual while he also saw bakugou’s form and had Best Jeanist written down for his only choice. Little did he know he would have a special training menu.
