That Most Powerful Spell.... Everything Will Be All Right

The strange thing about seeing All Might without Kikyou had to be how he kept saying something, then turning or looking down next to him as if expecting someone nearby, only for his face to fall when he realized that no, his sidekick wasn’t there. Shouta wanted to facepalm each time because how was it possible for that giant of a man to look like such a kicked puppy just because his sidekick was in class instead of running around with him? Or at least Shouta assumed the girl was in class; maybe a cram school. High School Entrance Exams were coming up, weren’t they? But then he spots All Might looking at the empty space to his right with a hangdog expression and Aizawa thinks that this is entirely ridiculous.

Geez, if All Might is like this when she went to school, what is he going to do when the girl gets herself a boyfriend?

In the end, hero school or no, Yuuei was a school. They picked class representatives, Iida for class president and Yaoyorozu for vice president, and Izumi finds herself agreeing with her classmates that this is easily the most mundane thing they’ve done since school started. The novelty of being taught by heroes is beginning to wear off, some are more interesting than others, and some are, despite the efforts of the teacher, more boring than others. Throughout it all the class begins to form bonds, though all the girls agree that the class would be much better without that pervert Mineta in there. Jirou actually had to stop him from peeping on them in the locker rooms at one point! Even Kaminari, to his credit despite being equally brainless as Mineta, did his part keeping the perverted boy away from the female half of the class.

It also turned out there was a rivalry between Class 1-A and Class 1-B, one that included their teachers. Well, Vlad at least, because Aizawa didn’t seem to give a damn. He wasn’t above using Class 1-B to challenge them though.

Then, all too soon, they went on their first Disaster Training trip.

Izumi was nervous. They had barely any practical training for the most part! But she also looked forward to it. She would get to experience the frontlines of heroism!

Izumi is not entirely sure what she was expecting when they get off the bus, but a massive complex of disasters is not one of them. She assumes that they are all controlled environments because the inferno she can see out to the side is not consuming everything in its path and the massive wall of water sloshing around in another zone is not breaking it’s banks and washing everything away. Her deductions are proven correct when Rescue Hero Thirteen explains the place to them.

The Unforeseen Simulation Joint. USJ.

And there, standing beside the Rescue Hero is her Uncle in his Muscle Form. “He actually made it here without getting sidetracked?!” she whispered in shock. All Might beams at her and winks. Izumi twitches. Forget All Might, her Uncle is All Ham.

Izumi is not sure what is coming, but she is sure that today will be very informative.

“I AM HERE!!!” All Might is running his Ham Engines on Full Throttle as he falls out of the sky in a flurry of red, yellow, and blue.

A smaller figure in similar colors drops off his shoulder as the Hero lunges at the bulky villain holding a whole family hostage.

Kikyou hits the ground running, and she is circling around the intersection even as All Might grapples a second villain into submission.

“I don’t think so, little girl!” a woman lunged out of the crowd.

“I thought so!” All Might laughed, “suppress her, Kikyou!”

“En!” Kikyou twists through the air, and her chain hisses as it wraps around the woman’s wrist. A quick leap and twist, and the woman is hung from a nearby lamppost even as All Might deals with the villain and hostages.

All Might laughs even as the crowd cheers and claps.

Kikyou doesn’t smile for the camera, she locks the chain and pulls out a pair of collapsible tonfa. Moments later, she is once more circling the intersection.

---

Izumi leaves the Unforeseen Simulation Joint with her classmates at the end of the day, tired, dirty, but much more knowledgeable about how to save people. They arrive at the school in time for lunch.

The day passes without incident, and for some reason, it makes Izumi uneasy. But then she puts it out of her mind.

Roughly a week after the Disaster training at USJ, Aizawa announces the UA Sports Festival.

Summary: Izuku's quirk is a mixed blessing

A Phoenix Quirk might seem like a wonderful quirk. As long as your injury isn't immediately fatal, you will revive from your own ashes. But this... Toshinori Yagi locked eyes with his successor. He did not look away. Couldn't. They had cut off his eyelids so he couldn't close his eyes, his head strapped into a contraption that would not allow him to look away. Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to escape the sound of Izuku's tortured screaming. They tortured the boy to death every few days. And the very nature of his quirk revived him. There was blind faith, in those eyes, faith, love, and worse of all, forgiveness. The boy was being tortured to death because of him, and even now, after innumerable agonizing deaths, he still loved him, still looked up to him, still believed in him, and not once did Midoriya Izuku blame him for this.

All Might had many regrets.

As he watched his successor's body burst into flames once again, he regretted giving the boy One for All.

At least then, maybe Izuku would not be in this position.

It's not really a good thing for a Hero Fanboy to have a teleportation quirk.

Or Five Times Izuku was Nearly Killed by Heroes Because He Has no Self-Preservation and One Time He Nearly Killed Himself Trying to Exercise Self-Preservation

It's not really a good thing for a Hero Fanboy to have a teleportation quirk.

Seriously. Izuku. No. Stop teleporting into the middle of Hero Battles.

1) It's a good thing there are cameras trained on him at the time, otherwise Endeavor would have simply punted the brat the first time he appeared out of nowhere and glommed onto his leg. As it stood, Izuku was hastily plucked off the Flame Hero's leg by Cementoss and carried out of harm's way seconds before Endeavor DID burst into flames. From surprise, the hero said, because he was running on adrenaline and didn't expect a limpet to suddenly attach itself to him. Several reporters in the crowd raised disbelieving eyebrows.

2) "Holy hell!" Kamui Woods was barely able to stop his kick from colliding with a fluffy, green haired head that materialized out of nowhere, and the result was an inglorious faceplant at the kid's feet. Mt Lady proceeded to curbstomb the petty criminals while Kamui Woods did his best to keep the fanboying kid from getting squished.

3) "WTF?!" Gunhead jerked his arms up right as a tiny green haired boy appeared in front of him, the bullets flying harmlessly away from the child. "OMIGOSH YOU'RE GUNHEAD!!!"the boy squealed. "Shit kid! Don't appear in the middle of a fight!" The hero lunged forward, grabbing the child, rolling to his feet and pelted for the nearest source of cover available even as the villain created earthen spikes in a bid to impale them.

4) A sudden squeal shattered the calm of the alley, and Best Jeanist sent fabric fwipping toward the sound on instinct. It took a few seconds for adrenaline fueled brain to process what he was seeing. By then, the fabric had wrapped around a tiny neck. "Oh my goodness!" The hero hastily let the fabric drop to the ground harmlessly rather than strangle the kid. "You startled me!" "Omigosh you're Best Jeanist! You have the coolest quirk ever! You-" The blond hero closed his eyes to and allowed the green haired child's excited chatter wash over him as he tried to lower his heart rate, and knew he was probably going to have nightmares about accidentally snapping the kid's neck tonight.

5) "Hi!" "Holy shit!" Snipe jerked his gun upward, yanking his finger off the trigger as he did so when the green haired boy suddenly materialized in front of him. "Fu-" He cut himself off and grabbed the kid and ran for the nearest exit as a massive fireball flew at them. "Where the fuu-heck did you come from, kid?!" "I'm Izuku! I have a teleportation quirk! You're so cool, Mr. Snipe! You Quirk-" "Right, stop talking and teleport yourself straight home, kid! It's not safe!"

+1

Seven year old Midoriya Izuku tucked himself under the park bench as people ran screaming away from the villain that was telepathically ripping people to literal pieces and tried not to cry. Where was mommy? He was scared! Where were the heroes? He pulled his knees to his chest and squealed in terror as a head rolled under the bench. The villain strode toward the sound. Izuku panicked and squeezed his eyes shut and pushed

His butt hit something hard and Izuku squealed as he toppled over. His head smacked on something hard and he shrieked in pain as stars exploded behind his eyes as he scrabbled and fell back... Something wrapped around his chest and yanked

"Shh.. It's alright, I've got you," a low voice murmured soothingly as Izuku opened an eye watery with pain and found himself cradled close to a dark clad chest.

The ragged looking man vaulted over the railing as a blond man in leather ran up to them. "Shota! Did you get him?!"

"I've got him." Tired dark eyes peered down at the bloodied child, "Are you alright, kid?"

"There's a villain at the park," Izuku sniffled, "I want mommy!"
