"QUIRKLESS??" The class exclaim.

Izuku just nods.

"How did you toss the ball so far? How did you run so fast and jump so high??"

Izuku just shrugged. "It's just the way I am. I have no quirk, and my abilities differ from yours."

The explosive blonde just scoffed from his seat.

"So what else can you do?" A manly redhead asked.

Izuku thought for a second. "Well, I'm abnormally strong, fast and intelligent. I'm resistant to almost any toxin or poisons. I can withstand extreme temperatures, and any injuries I do receive heal slightly faster than a regular person."

"Dude, that's so manly!" The redhead exclaimed.

Izuku chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "It's pretty normal for me." He said.

Soon the first school day was over, and Izuku took the train home. He sat in his room and worked on his 1A notebook.

Anyone would think he was interested in history, and collected relics from past events or disasters. He had souvenirs from all over the world. His uniforms for the world wars, a life ring from the Titanic, a Roman helmet, a robe with Egyptian patterns, bones from a few extinct animals, a large collection of dinosaur teeth, a copy of the first photograph, pictures of famous figures.

Most of his souvenirs were in storage, but he kept his favourites in his room. His most recent were the signatures of 7 heroes. Some weren't official heroes, and he was missing the 8th, maybe 9th too, but through the years he had met and helped each one of the wielders of One For All. He had been chosen as a candidate by all 7, but as he wasn't human, he couldn't take the quirk.

He hadn't had the chance to meet All Might, or his successor (if he had chosen yet) but he hoped to meet and help them both. Because he'd found something. A new group was on the rise. The League of Villains. Their boss, the True leader, was none other than All for One. One for All's mortal enemy. He had foolishly believed him to be dead once All Might dealt that blow, but it wasn't enough. He had spent these last year's healing, gathering strength, and grooming Tomura Shigaraki to become his successor.

Izuku sighed as he completed his work, putting notebook number 246 on the shelves with the others. Currently he had every hero ever known compiled within his notebooks, including the secretive, hidden ones like Eraserhead. He was quite proud of his work, but only 17 of his notebooks were relevant today. 14 of heroes, 1 for 1A, one about One for All and the users, and one was stuffed with information about All for One and all the quirks Izuku knew of. He grabbed the last 2 books and put them in his bag for tomorrow. He decided to talk with All Might.

He switched on his laptop to resume his ongoing investigation. He was researching the Yakuza, namely the seven precepts of death lead by Overhaul, or Kai Chisaki. It was difficult to find anything on them, even for Izuku. He gave up after an hour or two with zero results and emailed Sir Nighteye.

Izuku had been working as an anonymous detective for many years. He had changed his alias and contact details throughout the centuries, and he had worked with many detectives, police chiefs and heroes who requested his help. Nighteye's investigation was the most difficult so far, as Chisaki was a very secretive, slippery man.

Yamikumo: Sorry Nighteye, little to report today. There are rumours of a 'small ghost' who is rarely seen running from their main establishment, but reports are inconsistent. That's all for today.

Nighteye: Very well Yamikumo, thank you for looking. Please message me if anything comes up. I will look into this 'ghost'.

The next day at school, Izuku stood with his class in his hero costume. All Might was giving the rest of the class the lesson plan. Izuku had figured it out after the first few sentences.

Eventually he was paired with Uraraka, and they were against Bakugo and Iida. He briefly glanced at the floor plan and thought about the various possibilities.

"So, you got a plan?" Uraraka asked him.

Izuku nodded, turning to his partner.

"Bakugo will most likely come for me. I'm 'Quirkless', so he will want to put me in my place after beating him. I suggest you go ahead and locate the bomb. Try to surprise Iida, use his speed and his excessive effort against him."

She nodded. "Okay, but how do I do that? I can just float objects around."

"Charge the bomb, but watch his movements. He will most likely move the bomb or push you away. When he whizzes past, touch him and you win."

Uraraka face lights up. "I can do that!" She says, happy to be relied on. "I won't let you down!"

All Mights voice sounds through the speaker.

The duo charge inside.

A few minutes later, All Might ends the match.

Izuku and Uraraka walk triumphantly into the observation room. Bakugo was carried through on a stretcher, his costume and face littered with marks. Iida followed with an embarrassed expression. Floating around a room flailing your limbs is not a dignified look.

"That was so fast!" The class said.

"It was really manly the way you two fought!" A manly looking redhead exclaimed.

The class surrounded the duo, while All Might stood by the monitors watching the outbursts.

Izuku detached from the class and walked to stand before All Might.

"Mr Yagi, I know about your secret, may I speak with you after class?"

All Might looked surprised, his face going through a number of expressions.

"O-of course young.. ah.. Midoriya." He replied.

"I'm not that young All Might." Izuku chuckled.

About an hour later the class watched All Might speed into the distance.

The students slowly trickled off to the changing rooms. The boys were chatting about all the battles and how awesome their quirks are. Izuku gathered up his things and walked to the teachers lounge.

He knocked on the door, recieving a quick "come in.".

All Might was sitting at a low table. They were the only ones in the room.

"You can deflate Mr Yagi, save your time." He said.

All Might sighed and a puff of smoke later, a skinny man was sat in All Mights place.

"You cannot tell anybody of this Midoriya.." he started to say.

"I've known for 40 years, ever since you first got One for All from Nana."

All Might yet again looked dumbfounded.

"You knew my Master?" He asked.

Izuku chucked. "I'm over 4 billion years old, I knew all of the holders. Every single one of them tried to give it to me, but I'm not human. I'm not made for quirks."

All Might nodded. "Very well y-.. Midoriya. Now, why did you want to speak with me?" He asked curiously.

Izuku's expression turned grim, and he pulled two notebooks from his bag.

"All for One is alive." Izuku said solemnly.

All Mights expression froze, and his eyes widened with horror.

"B-but.. how? I was sure that.."

Izuku nodded. "I thought you'd done it too. But his body was never recovered by the police. Instead, his doctor got to it first. He saved All for One, and now they have formed a group of people who's sole purpose is to kill you."

He paused.

"The League of villains."

All Might had become significantly more nervous.

Izuku raised one of the notebooks.

"This book has everything I know about All for One in it. It lists his quirks, connections and ambitions. It also has an 'enemies' section, but that just includes the world, you, and one other person."

All Might stared at the notebook. "It must have taken years to compile all of that!" He exclaimed.

Izuku grinned. "It did. I also have this book." He pulls out the book on One for All. "This book contains everything I know about One for All and it's users. Listen closely now." He said.

All Might looked intently at Izuku.

"It has been 106 years and 5 months since One for All first started accumulating energy. By my calculations it will have built up enough energy in about 4 more months to manifest the previous holders quirks." He stopped to let All Might realize what he just said.

All Might sat for about 6 seconds.

"WHAAAT???" He bellowed.

Izuku stared intently at All Might.

"Who is your successor? You came here to find one among the students, who has One for All?" He said.

"Ochako Uraraka!" All Might said. "She cannot use it properly yet though!"

"That dosent matter." Izuku told him. "Any strong emotion and a quirk is going to explode from her body. She needs to learn to harness the power or she is dead in 4 months."
