Prologue - Who is Izuku

Prologue Arc: Discovery

UA High

Musutafu, Japan

Izuku Midoriya is an enigma, that's what Aizawa believes. He has seen a lot of students, teach/torture them, and even expelled them, but he never taught someone like Midoriya. Maybe it's because he's the first quirkless student that manages to get into Heroic Course.

A lot of people with powerful or versatile quirks had tried to get into the course and failed, but Midoriya manages to do something people believe is impossible.

Aizawa has seen how Midoriya fought and it was interesting. Midoriya fought mainly using his strength, he can also use a pair of twin daggers. The most interesting one is he is very good at throwing projectiles, or maybe too good. He saw how he throws rocks/thorns and he never would've thought it launched at very high speed and even ricochet to the targets, something that only he thought is possible by using Snipe's quirk. Even Snipe needs to use guns to do so, Izuku is pure skill.

And the strange things don't end there. Despite being powerless, he manages to do some crazy feats. He manages to defeat the Nomu that was built to defeat All Might by using Shigaraki's quirk, decay, to defeat the monster. He also manages to beat every student in 1-A with nothing more than a pair of daggers and a bag filled with rocks. Yes, a bag filled with rocks. He uses those to win the Sports Festival.

And the biggest thing that doesn't make sense is during Rescue Lesson. No matter how many times they did it, Izuku seems to always excel at it. He did the rescue flawlessly and with no errors at all. He manages to rescue Kota, nephew of the leader of the Hero Rescue Team, Wild Wild Pussycat, from a villain named Muscular. He even manages to defeat him with a broken arm, something that is impossible since everyone who faces Muscular always ends up dead. He ended up earning a fan/little brother. Even at Provisional License Exam, the judges give him a perfect score for the amazing performance he did, something only All Might has ever done in history.

In the first part of the exam, it was supposed to be students from other schools crushing UA, but Izuku manages to lead them to victory, without their weak spot getting hit. Aizawa had never felt so smug toward his other co-workers in his life, and he almost laugh at Ms. Joke's flabbergasted expression.

In the second part of the exam, Izuku's Rescue Skill reappeared as he lead his class in rescuing the faux civilians. He manages to rescue the trapped civilians while guiding his classmate on how to do it properly, much to the dismay of Bakugou and Yaoyorozu.

When the surprise 'attack' happened, Izuku evacuates the civilians without hesitation, guiding them to the safe area. He got some help from some of his classmates, Uraraka, Koda, Jirou, Sero, and surprisingly, Mineta. As he evacuates the people, he saw Todoroki and a first-year from Shiketsu having a feud while Gang Orca, a hero playing as a villain, assaulting other examiners. This causes Izuku to step in and save someone from their feud, but at the cost of getting hit by the flame on the back.

Izuku snapped at them for being a fool and screamed at them 'the enemy is that overgrown fish walking on the land, not your overinflating ego'. Gang Orca feels insulted and tries to attack Izuku, but he just punches him away, sending him crashing into his minions.

Aizawa never feel so confused that day. He was diagnosed as quirkless, but that feat is not something quirkless can do. When he asks Izuku, he looks as confused as Aizawa, causing more confusion.

After the exam, the students were introduced to the best 3rd-year students, the Big Three. Mirio Togata, one of the Big Three, asked to fight with them. It can't be called a fight as Mirio slaughters each of Class 1-A, except for Izuku, who keeps dodging the incoming and surprise attack and tries to launch his own. When they finally stop, they look untouched and tired before they both reveal their wounds. A pair of scratches for Mirio, and a bruise on the left cheek and right arm for Izuku.

This of course surprised everyone, including the Big Three. Mirio is known for being untouchable and powerful. It didn't help that Mirio gained a quirk evolution, giving him a boost of power. But not only does Izuku manage to survive his assault, but manages to land attacks on him. When Kirishima, one of Class 1-A asked why does this slaughter happen, Aizawa replied by saying it was meant to show that they have a long way to go and he also want to introduce them to their seniors for their Hero Work-Study.

When Izuku tries to look for agencies for Work-Study, Mirio decided to meet him and proposed an agency for Izuku to work with. Izuku respectfully declines, surprising Mirio, and looks for other heroes for work-study. He manages to somehow gets Mirko to ask him for Work-Study.

During the Work-Study, The Big Three, Kirishima, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Ryukyu, Sir Nighteye, Fat Gum, Aizawa, Mirko, and Izuku were in the meeting. The reason Izuku is in the meeting is that he was requested by Mirio to Sir Nighteye and Ryukyu just happen to know Mirko, so she asked him to bring her and Izuku to join the raid for more manpower.

When the meeting starts, they discuss all the information about Shie Hassaikai, a yakuza gang that slowly growing more powerful under their nose. When the information about Eri and the drug has revealed, Izuku snaps at Sir Nighteye and even punches him in the face, shocking everyone. He asked the man why didn't he save the girl, and the man simply replied heroes need to be patient. Izuku retorted that he has every patience in him, but does the girl has every time in the world?

Izuku also asked that arresting someone is much more important than saving a girl, which ended up getting called a naive boy that lets a villain escape. Izuku snorts and told that saving the girl also gives them advantages even if the villain escape, stating that the man will no longer be able to mass-produce the quirk-destroying drugs.

Izuku also states that they are no better than Overhaul, using the girl for their own goal. Aizawa decided to step in and calm Izuku down, because, unlike others, he notices one thing when Izuku snaps. Izuku acts like he once experiences this.

After the meeting, Izuku and Mirio decided to have a conversation. Mirio looks like he is very guilty and told Izuku everything, from his encounter with Eri and Overhaul to letting Eri go. Izuku was emotionless before asking him if he even bothers to think about the girl. He asked if he knows she was only a child, a child looking for escape and help, and ended up denied when she found one. This only made Mirio look even more guilty as Izuku left him.

During the raid, thanks to Izuku's analysis, he manages to help Mirko at defeating the villains by pointing out their weaknesses. When they reach the end of the base, Izuku saw Eri was walking towards Overhaul, the main boss of Shie Hassaikai. Izuku acts fast by throwing daggers toward Overhaul, effectively cutting off his fingers and his right hand, and grabbing Eri away from him. Overhaul scream bloody murder while Izuku got shot by the drug thanks to Overhaul's goon.

Izuku holds Eri close to him, carefully not letting the girl get hurt or taken away. Overhaul bragged about Izuku losing the quirk, but Izuku smugly flipped him off by revealing his quirklessness and saying that he waste the shot while Izuku didn't waste it since now Overhaul is permanently quirkless thanks to lack of fingers. This enrages Overhaul even more before getting caught by Eraserhead easily. Thankfully no one died during the raid.

After the raid, Eri never stops clinging to Izuku, as he is the first person who saves her from the monster and the only person she feels safe with. She is very wary of Mirio, who feels dejected and guilty about it. Izuku manages to convince the girl to give him a chance due to he blindly follows orders when he wants to save her. She did give him a chance but was still wary.

Izuku has been staying with Eri and helping her adjust to the current society and even helping her regain her smile. No one knows how, but Izuku manages to make her happy. Everyone was confused and tried to ask him how did he do that, but he just teasingly said it was a secret. This morning, he heard Izuku asking Nedzu for permission to leave the school for a few weeks because something happened. Nedzu was at first skeptical but he relented. Izuku beamed and thanked Nedzu for it.

He saw Izuku immediately go to his dorm room with a happy expression. Aizawa never saw Izuku this happy. What kind of business makes him so happy? He shrugged, not going to bother to find out. The kid deserves to be happy after everything happens to him.

UA Dorm

"Aww, do you have to go, Onii-chan? And I wanna go with you again."

Eri, a little girl with white hair and a horn wearing a white and red dress pouted while looking at Izuku. who she considers as a brother. Izuku chuckles at her pout before ruffling her hair, which didn't stop her from pouting.

"Eri, I'm going to leave only for 2 weeks. I have to meet my family as well." Izuku said. "I can't bring you with me because we don't want anyone to know about your quirk, and ended up getting taken away. The school is the safe place for you." Izuku ruffles her hair as she grumbles while looking away.

"How about this, I'll bring something tastier and sweeter than apple. I'll bring a lot of them home and you can eat all of them." Izuku said, immediately catching Eri's attention.

"....you drive a hard bargain, Onii-chan," Eri mutters.

"I suggest you stay away from Ashido-san." Izuku deadpanned.

"Never!" Eri exclaimed. "Long live the Meme!!"

'Mina, once I come back, I'll skin you alive.' Izuku thought with a twitch before putting his notebook in his bag and picking it up. He pats Eri's head with a smile.

"Stay with Mirio-senpai, okay?" Izuku sais with a smile.

"I don't wanna," Eri whines as Izuku frowns.

"Eri, you know that it wasn't his fault. If he didn't listen to what his idiot mentor said, he'll get punished." Izuku said.

"I know," Eri mutters. "But, I feel he abandons me."

"I know how that feels, but you can't keep blaming him. In the end, he returns to get you back and stays with you, never wanting to let you go again." Izuku said. "He still blames himself for not saving you and I can see he always stays outside his room, unable to sleep because he got a nightmare."

"Nightmare?" Eri asked.

"Like you keep getting a dream of Overhaul getting you back, he dreams about Overhaul taking you away and he can't save you," Izuku said. "Open up to him, maybe you will understand more," Izuku added as Eri nodded slowly.

"Okay, take care, Eri. And if you need food, ask big bro Sato, big sis Yaoyorozu, or uncle Shota, okay?" Izuku said with a smile.

"Hai, Oni-chan. And say hi to big brother Pyro, okay?"

"Okay! And behave!"

"Noooo!!!"

Izuku suppressed a laugh before leaving his room, but he was soon met face-to-face with All Might. His happy expression turns into a scowl when he saw his face.

"What do you want, Yagi?" Izuku asked in monotone.

"I came to see how are you doing." All Might admits.

"I don't need you to worry about me. I can take care of myself." Izuku said before leaving with his bag.

"Wait!" All Might said, getting Izuku attention. "How can I apologize to you? It's almost a year since that day."

"Maybe if you decided not to sabotage my every attempt in my class, I'll forgive you." Izuku snarled, getting All Might to flinch. "You think I don't know how many times you tried to stop me? Trying to decline my hero course acceptance letter after my exam result gives me a guaranteed seat in Heroic Course, guides me to General Course on my first day, matches me with two 'powerhouse' at my first training, stopping me from using my capture scarf because of 'copyright', trying to scold me for my partner not reasonable for teamwork, and trying to DRUG ME BEFORE THE PROVISIONAL EXAM!!???" Izuku is outright pissed. He had a lot of teachers sabotage him, but no one has gone as far as All Might.

"IF YOU FORGET, A FEW WEEKS BEFORE UA'S ENTRANCE EXAM, YOU LAUGH AT MY ASS WHEN I ASKED IF I CAN BE A HERO WITHOUT A SUPERPOWER. WELL, GUESS WHAT, YAGI FUCKING TOSHINORI!? I MANAGE TO PROVE I CAN BE A HERO WITHOUT POWER! STOP BEING SUCH A MOTHERFUCKING QUIRKIST, HEARTLESS, HYPOCRITICAL ASSHOLE, THEN MAYBE I'LL CONSIDER FORGIVING YOUR PATHETIC, SORRY, SKINNY ASS!!" Izuku thank whatever deity in the sky for making the student's room soundproof, he didn't want to hear Eri starts cursing.

"Now, if you excuse me. I take my leave since I did take permission from Nedzu for this." Izuku said. "Oh, before that." All Might didn't get a chance to react as Izuku sock his fist right at All Might's face, his nose bleeding and turns to the wrong way

"You want forgiveness? Get a fucking religion. Maybe that'll help you be a decent human being." Izuku said before leaving and slammed the dorm's building door loudly, causing a crack in the wall and the door. Unknown to them, Aizawa is in the shadow and heard everything.

'Nedzu would love to hear this. Or that rat has known this already?'

30  minutes later

U.A Dorm

"Does anyone sees Midoriya?"

In the dining area, several Class 1-A students are sitting while eating their breakfast. Ochako, Tsuyu, Kyoka, Mina, Momo, Bakugou, Sero, Sato, Mineta, Toru, Iida, Todoroki, Kaminari, Tokoyami. They all look at Momo who asked about Izuku. Everyone knows Izuku loves to jog very early and always came back before breakfast, seeing him not in the dining area during breakfast is such an odd sight.

"No idea, maybe he's overslept?" Kaminari suggest.

"Kaminari, you know out of everyone Izuku never overslept. He always wakes up very early no matter how late he sleeps." Momo replied in a deadpan tone.

"I mean, maybe he's sick? That's why he didn't come out and overslept." Kaminari points out.

"Who are you and what have you done to Denki Kaminari?" Jirou asked.

"Hey, I may be an idiot, but not everything I said is stupid," Kaminari exclaimed, earning a raised eyebrow from everyone.

"Revelry in the Dark," Tokoyami mutters while eating his cornflakes.

"I'll go check on him. If he's sick, it's our job as his friend to help him." Iida said while chopping the air, robot style. Everyone nodded as Iida left.

"Say, did Midoriya keeps a big secret inside his room?" Mina asked, getting everyone's attention. "Seriously, he locks the door immediately before we can see what's inside during the dorm contest. It's like he keeps a huge secret in there."

"Mina, you know anyone has their secret. You can't just try to see anyone's secret." Ochako said.

"Please, you just said that because I try to learn your boyfriend's little secret." Mina teased, earning a blush from Ochako

"It's not like that!" Ochako said in embarrassement. "It's rude to try to learn anyone's secret without asking!"

"C'mon! Don't you all curious!? I mean, out of everyone, he's the biggest mystery other than how did Aizawa always trick us easily!! Seriously, no one knows about his past!" Mina said, moaning.

"I guess I did feel a bit curious," Mineta said before grinning perversely. "Maybe he has a stack of porn he tried to keep secret." He ended up getting hanged upside down with a capture scarf.

"That is Problem Child's own business, Ashido. His past is none of your business." Aizawa appeared out of nowhere while holding his capture scarf as Mina and everyone screamed like girls. "I prefer if none of you try to barge into his room because if you did, you all will get detention."

"No fair! You act like he's your favorite student or your child." Mina whined.

"Don't accuse me of such things," Aizawa said with a red glare, terrifying everyone. "Try to look at your friend's secret without his consent is not something you should do," Aizawa said before walking away and dropping Mineta by releasing the capture scarf. Everyone wince at the fall.

"Aww, bummer." Mina moaned.

"Aizawa-sensei is right, Mina. I don't think Midoriya will approve of us putting our nose into other people's business." Tsuyu said, earning a pout from Mina.

"Everyone, it's worrying! Midoriya didn't answer my call. I've even rang his room door and no one is answering, even Eri-chan." Iida's words worried everyone, except Todoroki and Bakugou.

"Where did they go!?" Momo asked the class representative.

"I don't know!!" Iida replied in a panicked tone.

Meanwhile

Eri can be seen sitting on Mirio's lap while watching Pokemon while Mirio holds Eri gently and protectively.

"Thank you for giving me a chance, Eri." Mirio smiled, bags visible under his eyes.

"No worries. I'm just glad you return to save me." Eri said. "And I'm sorry for not trusting you."

"It's okay, Eri-chan," Mirio said with a smile. "I don't blame you for not trusting me. Let's not think about it anymore, okay?"

"Mhm," Eri smiled before continuing to watch the television.

Back with 1-A class

The class is in chaos, trying to find where's Eri. Izuku has always been protective of Eri, and he will do anything for her. He even made Bakugou paled with the small talk he had with Izuku after Eri starts cursing.

"We're so dead!!" Mina exclaimed dramatically.

"You didn't help at all, Ashido!!" Sero said while looking at other people's rooms, trying to see if Eri is in there.

"Try to open his room! Maybe she's in there but asleep." Kaminari said.

"That'll be trespassing," Iida exclaimed.

"We just look if Eri's there! If not, we can leave. If yes, we can relax and continue our breakfast." Toru suggested.

"For fuck's sake!" Bakugou shouted before using his quirk to destroy the door's lock.

"Bakugou. what are you doing!?" Ochako exclaimed in horror.

"Doing your fucking job, extras," Bakugou said before noticing a note under the door. He reads it before showing it to everyone.

"The little girl went to see Tintin. She left a note so that we won't fucking search for her. But, it seems that her letter didn't reach till the other fucking side of the door or Four-eyes over here didn't fucking bother to look down." Bakugou said, earning a flush from Iida.

"I....may have overreacted and didn't check my surrounding," Iida admits with a blush.

"I don't blame you, Izuku can be scary. Last time, Bakugou even paled when Izuku talks to him after he teaches Eri to say curse words." Tsuyu points out.

"Shut it, Frog Face!!" Bakugou shouted.

"Hey, maybe we can take a peek at it " Mina suggests.

"Mina..." Momo groans at her classmate.

"C'mon! Just a peek." Mina said before pushing the door open as her jaw dropped. Everyone looks confused before looking at the room and was shocked.

Izuku's room can be seen as a massive upgrade for everyone. His floor seems to be made out of natural grass with rock tiles, a huge window with leaf-like curtains, a huge rock tile with a normal looking bed at the center, a water pool around the edge of the room with two fountains pouring from each side of the wall, a ladder to the platform with a small bed, a small cupboard with a table attached to it and a laptop & video camera next to it.

"Holy shit!! Midoriya made our room look pathetic!!" Mina exclaimed as some of her classmates nodded dumbly.

"Before, I thought Todoroki is crazy for renovating the room, but Izuku took it to a whole new level!!" Mineta said and no one disagree with him, that's a first.

"Excuse me, do I look that crazy to do all this?" Todoroki said, offended at the insult. Everyone looks at him with a raised eyebrow while he returns it with a confused expression.

"Let's ignore our oblivious classmate. How did he manage to make this look as natural as possible?" Yaoyorozu wondered before Mina decided to enter and touch the grass.

"Guys, this grass is real, look!!" Mina said as she pluck the grass out, showing the root and dirt. "Did you know about this Bakugou!? You said you know a lot about Midori."

"I didn't even know about this shit. Ever since Deku went missing for 2 years and came back, I can't recognize him anymore." Bakugou said while looking away. This of course pique some of class 1-A's interest, they didn't know that Izuku ever went missing.

"Why did he act like he didn't know you then?" Ochako asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How the fuck should I know!? I know him since he was a baby! I know he still acts like a fucking dork and a nerd, but he didn't act the same as before. He's...much different...." Katsuki said while looking away. This just confused the others, what exactly happens with Izuku and why is Katsuki keeps insisting that he knows him?

"Did he remove the ceramic tile just like that in exchange for a grass floor!?" Sato saw some ridiculous moment, but not on this level!!

"Oh my, these pillars seem to be made out of wood, but it's very durable." Momo looks intrigued.

"Midoriya is amazing to create all of this, but does he even have permission from Principal Nedzu?" Iida asked in no one particular.

"I think he does, otherwise he won't do this. I mean, Todoroki did it and didn't get any scolding or punishment." Momo points out as Iida nodded stiffly.

"Guys!" Kaminari said while holding a picture frame. "I know Izuku loves Pokemon but I didn't expect him to draw! Look at this picture!" This caught everyone's attention. They almost know nothing about Izuku, so learning this kind of fact did pique their interest.

"OMG, this is so cute! I didn't know Izuku loved pokemon, especially Mudkip! I liek Mudkip!" Mina exclaimed

"So I herd you liek mudkipz?" Kaminari said with the biggest troll face as Bakugou groaned in annoyance.

"Oh, for fuck sake, that meme is as old as fossil!" Bakugou said in annoyance.

"I liek Mudkip." Everyone turned and saw Toru who said that. Because she's invisible, no one knows she blushed.

"Oh mon Dieu, à qui appartient cette chambre?" Suddenly, they all heard the familiar french accent and turn around, and saw Aoyama, Ojiro, Koda, Kyoka, Kirishima, Shoji, Itsuka, and Tetsutetsu enter the room.

"Holy shit, who's room is this? No one in my class can ever do such a thing." Itsuka exclaimed.

"This is so manly!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed. "Whoever renovated this room must be a hard worker!!"

"I know!! Midoriya did all this!! He's so manly!!" Kirishima said.

"Wait, Midoriya? The quirkless kid who manages to kick our ass in Sport Festival?" Tetsutetsu asked in disbelief.

"No way! There's no way this is his room. That guy didn't look like he did something like this." Itsuka said in denial.

"Kendo-san, Tetsutetsu-san, what are you doing here?" Momo asked in confusion.

"I just want to talk to you guys, you know without having a certain crazed blonde trying to ruin between us," Itsuka said.

"I was walking around when I bumped into Kiri-bro. We decided to hang out!" Tetsutetsu said excitedly.

"And yelling towards each other in your dorm's balcony the whole night isn't enough for you two?" Sato asked incredulously.

"Anyway, I still think this is the best room I've ever seen so far," Itsuka said.

"No one manages to expect any of this since us Class 1-A didn't know much about him." Shoji points out, surprising Itsuka and Tetsutetsu.

"For real? How did no one know?" Itsuka asked.

"We tried but he never give us any answer," Ojiro said.

"Il est plein de secret. Pas glamour du tout." Aoyama comments.

"No one here fucking speaks croissant, Belly Button!" Katsuki said in an annoyed tone.

"Hey guys, look," Kaminari said while holding the Video Camera. "I found this, I didn't know Izuku loves to make a vlog."

"That's a unique-looking camera. I believe there's never one that looks like this." Momo mused while looking at the camera.

"What makes you say that, Kaminari-san?" Iida asked in confusion.

"His video is filled with so many videos. Each file named with day 1 to...." Kaminari said while scrolling down. "....there's too much video in this thing." Everyone face faulted at the unclear answer.

"Ooh, I know! We can use the television in the living room! We can watch this!" Mina said in excitement.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ashido. How many times do I have to tell you to respect privacy?" Momo asked.

"C'mon. We can finally learn more about our resident mystery boy!! Don't tell me you didn't find it curious!!??" This of course gets everyone even more curious.

"Momo....." The said girl turned around and saw Ochako. "I....kinda curious about it as well...."

"Hah!" Mina said victoriously.

"Ochako, didn't you earlier say that Izuku's secret must stay secret?"

"I know, but I can't help it," Ochako said. "Dekiru is my best friend. But, he always keeps a secret even if it hurts him. I tried to talk to him and try to help, but he always push me aside. I can't handle seeing him trying to hide his pain! This video might give me an explanation of why he always prefers keeping things himself! I never got a chance to pay my debt to him and maybe learning more about who he is may help!" Ochako explained. Momo just sighed as she held her forehead before looking at every Izuku's closest friends, Tsuyu, Koda, Sero, Kirishima, and surprising Iida, who looks reluctant.

"Fine, but we're not going to watch all of it!" Yaoyorozu relented, earning cheers from Mina.

"Yes, let's go!"

Later

The whole Class 1-A, Itsuka, and Tetsutetsu can be seen sitting around the television as Momo tried to look at the camera. She looks very confused.

"C'mon, Vice Rep! Hurry up!"

"Excuse me for being slow! Midoriya has a camera that never exists in any part of the globe and I'm trying to find a way to connect to the television. If you're really smart, why don't you get your butt over here and do it yourself!?!" Yaoyorozu snapped in annoyance, making Mina shut up. Bakugou, Sero, and Kaminari snickered as Mina glared at them.

"Next time, try to be more considerate," Kyoka said.

"Why don't you try to create the same cable that plugs video camera to television but for this particular camera?" Ojiro asked.

"I want to but we don't know what effect will it cause to the camera or the television," Yaoyorozu said.

"Well, try it. What's there to lose?" Mina said, earning a glare from everyone.

"Fine, but something happens, I blame you," Yaoyorozu said before using her quirk to create a cable and plug it into the camera and the television before pressing a button on the television. The screen turns black for a moment as Momo takes her seat. For a moment, everyone wants to think of it as a failure before suddenly the screen shows the camera perspective with a huge emerald beady eye.

"Test, test. Is this working?" Everyone can hear Izuku's voice from the television before the eye shrinks down and show a face of a Mudkip with a confused expression before turning into a happy one.

"Yes, it works! I finally manage to finish making a working video camera!!" This causes everyone to jaw-drop. The Mudkip has Izuku's green eyes and voice.

"Okay, okay! Time out!" Itsuka said as Koda, being the closest to the camera manage to find the pause button and pause the video.

"H-how is that Mudkip is talking? And why does he has Izuku's voice?" Kaminari looks so shocked.

"No one knows, Dunce Face," Kyoka said, equally shocked as Kaminari.

"Let's continue the video to find more information," Momo suggested as everyone nodded dumbly. Koda pressed the button as the video continues.

"Oh, did the camera's universal translator work or not? I don't want my whole video to end up saying 'Mudkip, Mudkip Mud'." Izuku looks at the camera with worry. Class 1-A once again looks surprised. Universal translator for pokemon!? This is crazy!!

"Okay, I meet a fair share of geniuses, but no one is smart enough to create a universal Translator! Not even I-Island scientist or David Shield!" Momo said while her eyes twitched.

"What's a Universal Translator?" Kaminari asked.

"It's a sci-fi translator that can translate every language in the universe. That Mudkip manages to plant those on the camera as every Pokemon language, which consists of their names into literal Japanese." Uraraka explained simply as everyone looks at her. She blushed before looking away. "I love space and sci-fi, okay!? Koda, start the video!" Koda didn't hesitate and continued.

"I just hope my collaboration work with Alakazam from Team A.C.T manages to make it work. Anyway, let's get the video rolling. Well, I'm Izuku, Izuku Midoriya. 12 years old, don't remember much other than I was a human and now I ended up in the world filled with Pokemon. And somehow, I turn into one as well." Izuku explained while rubbing his head awkwardly. "It's a really weird experience for these three months for me. On my first day, I somehow ended up in a middle of a forest sleeping peacefully before meeting my partner and saving a kid in a dungeon in a forest. Don't ask me how, I have no idea as well. " Izuku shrugged with a derpy face. "The weirdness didn't even end there. I can't remember anything about myself but I can remember about human tech, their culture, my name, and all of the pokemon related stuff. It's the weirdest case of Amnesia I ever had or heard of."

"Okay, we got our confirmation, so let me ask this. HOW IN THE WORLD IS YOUR FRIEND A POKEMON!?" Itsuka shouted in confusion.

"We didn't even know until now!" Sero said while looking as confused as Itsuka.

'That'll explain why he didn't recognize me anymore...' Bakugou thought with regret and sadness but manages to hide it.

"I can't believe Izuku is an Isekai protagonist," Kaminari said in disbelief.

"Isekai protagonist?" Iida asked in confusion.

"A protagonist that got sent to another world, chosen to be a hero in that world. Usually, those protagonist gets a crazy powerful ability for their quest/mission." Kaminari explained.

"Let's just keep watching," Momo suggested. Koda decided to just stop doing his unofficial new job, pausing the video because they love to talk every single time.

"Thankfully, I was found by one of the kindest Pokemon I ever know, Pyro the Cyndaquil. He helps me a lot, despite my mumbling and stuttering. He's patient and calm for a fire-type." Izuku said with a smile. "I'm glad to be found by him because right now, we've become close friends. We create a Rescue team together. It has become the best choice I've ever made. I never feel so happy to help others and seeing them reunited with the one that cares for them safely made me very happy."

"Wow, even if your friend gets amnesia, he chooses to help others instead of focusing on himself. He has my respect." Itsuka said with a mock salute.

"He's so manly!" Tetsutetsu said while crying.

"I know right!?" Kirishima said similarly.

"Boys," Mina mutters underneath her breath.

'Even after getting amnesia, you still be a hero huh, Deku?' Katsuki thought with a faint smile.

"For 3 months, a lot of crazy shenanigans happen. The first day of my job is accepting a rescue mission. Going to a mountain filled with electric type to save a pair of Magnemite stuck in the mountain's magnetic field. It doesn't make sense, but the mountain is filled with minerals that emit electromagnetic fields around the mountain, attracting every electric-type pokemon there. Oh, god. That place is my nightmare." Izuku shivered while holding his left paw. "I lost my count of getting shocked by Thundershock, Thunderwave, Nuzzle, Electro Ball, and Charge Beam. I've never been so happy learning Ground-Type Moves."

"Oof!" Everyone who knows Pokemon winced at the statement. Water and Electric ever meant to be together.

"My second day was simply accepting jobs from the bulletin board and a little tour from Ifrit at Pokemon Square. And, OH, MY, ARCEUS!! That place is amazing! You got a bank, shop center, dojo, item storage, cafe, post office, move tutor, and so much more! I never imagine pokemons have their civilization!" Izuku said excitedly before looking confused. "But, I never actually understand some of its jobs. I mean Pidgey can get stuck in a forest filled with Bug-Type and Grass-type. And I even heard a Charizard stuck in the same forest. I don't even know how. I still wonder how did they send their letters asking for help though." This causes everyone to laugh. Charizard is one of the most well-known pokemon, hearing him get stuck in a forest filled with bugs and living plants made it look funny.

"We also meet one of the best rescue teams, Team A.C.T. The team consists of Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar. They're our senior since they have worked as a Rescue team for 5 years and reached Gold rank, compare to us Normal Rank, we're like Heaven and Earth." Izuku said while scratching his gills. "They're amazing, especially the leader. They manage to convince a reluctant rescuer, a Shiftry, to save a pokemon name Jumpluff stuck on a summit." Izuku added excitedly.

"And the craziest moment will be when I was asleep and visited by Dugtrio who's believe that it's a good idea to dig into our base and scream at the top of their lungs." Izuku shakes his head. "I know he needs help, but did they ever know the word knocking? I was tired that day and I may have shouted about manners." Izuku grins Mareepishly while scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, god. Izuku has been scary since he was a Mudkip!" Toru said as everyone except for Itsuka and Tetsutetsu.

"What do you mean by that?" Itsuka looks confused.

"Whatever you do, never made Izuku mad," Ojiro advised his fellow hero students.

"Surely he can't be that bad, right?" Tetsutetsu asked, not believing Izuku is scary.

"Bakugou turns pale after Izuku had a 'small talk' with him." Tsuyu bluntly said causing them to turn pale.

"Zip it, Frog Face!" Bakugou hissed.

"One of the impossible things ever happen to our class," Shoji said as Koda nodded shakily.

"Revelry in the Dark," Tokoyami said.

"Anyway, we were asked to save their child who got kidnapped because he was believed to cause an earthquake that affect the whole mountain. Yeah, that's a very legit explanation." Izuku added the last part sarcastically.

"How does that makes any sense?" Kaminari said in a confused tone. "Diglett can learn earthquake, but it's still too weak to even affect a town."

"That's why Midoriya said it sarcastically. He knows how ridiculous that sounds." Tsuyu said.

"So, Pyro and I accept the job, cream the ground/rock/steel types, beat the kidnapper, who turns out to be Skarmory, and save the child. Beating Skarmory is tough, but the biggest problem is how we're saving the Diglett. Our problem was solved by our first-ever recruit, Cobalt the Magnemite. Thanks to Skarmory kidnapping DIglett and placing it right at a mountain's edge with no way of getting there, Magnemite's ability to float is an Arceus-send." Izuku said before looking very confused. "But, I still have the biggest question ever since that day. Do Digletts have legs? Because the Diglett I saved said that he was so scared that he can't feel his feet."

"Diglett has feet?" Kaminari never felt so confused.

"Why do you ask that?" Jirou asked, looking at Kaminari like he just ask a dumb question. Kaminari uses his phone and shows Diglett's picture to her and the others. They now understand why Kaminari looks confused.

"I also encounter one of the worst Rescue Team I've ever known. They called themselves Team Meanies. I know I'm bad at names, but this takes the cake." Izuku sighed as he pinched his forehead. "It consists of Gengar, Medicham, and Ekans, and they love to steal the job from other rescue teams. I'm more pitying them more than anything, maybe because they were so desperate for money that they decided to stole jobs from a rookie team like us. It's just so sad." Izuku shrugged.

"OH, BURN!!!" Kaminari and Mina shouted as everyone either laugh or wince at the burn.

"And my pity went down the sewers when they decided to charge a what? 6 years old Caterpie for asking to save his friend trapped in a mystery dungeon." Izuku looks pissed as he cracks his paws. "My anger went skyrocketed when they say that they will 'ask' his mother for 'rewards'! Pyro and I manage to save his friend first but were ambushed by those sad excuses of a rescue team. They weren't that tough, mostly using underhanded tactics like Toxic stall, Confusion tactics, and Double Team spam. In my entire life, this is the most annoying thing ever, and I never feel annoyed with anyone!" Izuku groaned.

"Yeah, I can relate to that, buddy." Kaminari cringed at Izuku mentioning those tactics. He also fell victim to those tactics.

"I can't believe such pokemon can exist," Momo said in disgust. "Forcing a child to reward them for saving someone. That's just...terrible."

"I thought our world has terrible villains, but I guess the other world has the same issues," Iida said grimly.

"We didn't manage to get a lot of break for our job, only twice a week we manage to relax in a cafe and drink something while relaxing. Trust me, when your job is saving others every day, you will going to miss your relaxing day, especially when natural disaster around the globe has caused so many pokemon ended up hurt or stuck in a mystery dungeon." Izuku said with a tired sigh. "One day, I manage to meet Alakazam and have small talk with him. He's pretty cool if you get to know him. And I decided to talk to Alakazam about my project of building this camera, he looks interested and decided to give me a hand. He was impressed with my project and even gives me compliments. But, I feel that I didn't deserve it from a pokemon with 5000 IQ." Izuku looks away as he blushed, he just realize he unintentionally bragged about getting a compliment from a genius intellect pokemon.

"5000 IQ!? Principal Nedzu has even less IQ than that! And he's the smartest creature in our world!" Momo said incredulously.

"Oh my, I would never think I found someone smarter than me." A squeaky voice can be heard as everyone shouted in surprise when they turn around and saw Principal Nedzu sitting behind them while drinking his tea.

"P-principal Nedzu!?" Shoji said in surprise. "W-what are you doing here, sir?"

"I was planning to check at my students, seeing that Midoriya-kun asked for permission to me for leaving the school for a few weeks. I guess he needs a break or two after all the crazy day he had gone through." Nedzu replied while sipping his tea. "I want to see if any of you feels the same way as Midoriya, but when I come here, imagine my surprise that I saw you all watching Izuku's Daily vlog."

"Y-You know about this sir?" Ojiro asked.

"He told me a short version, about him getting sent to another world and saving that world. I thought he was unconscious for a long time, dreaming the whole thing." Nedzu said cheerfully.

'How did he watch the whole thing without any of us knowing!?' Everyone thought simultaneously.

"I must say, I wasn't expecting him to tell the truth. But seeing this video had proved me wrong!" Nedzu said with a satisfied smile. "And I must say, I am impressed at his video camera and built-in universal translator. I would like to see more of his unnurtured potential." This causes Momo a bit jealous since Nedzu seems to take an interest in Izuku. She sighed, knowing that his mind is far superior compared to hers, since she can't beat him in the written tests no matter what.

"This world's technology was very old and relies on magic, so all the engineering, programming, and all the stuff that I learned from my homeworld feel like it won't have any uses at all," Izuku said before looking cheerful. "But, thanks to learning how this world's language, access to the library and help from Alakazam, it's finished faster than I anticipated. I think the Universal Translator is the one that takes so much time. But, if this works, it'll be so worth it."

"Oh, it works, my child. Your incredible invention works very well." Nedzu said with a chuckle.

"If that grease monkey from Support Course saw this, she will kidnap Green Bean and tortures him for secrets," Kyoka said grimly.

'Green Bean?' was the student's thought.

"Is anyone going to ignore the fact that he said magic?" Kaminari said in confusion, but everyone didn't care about it.

"Hey, Izuku. What are you doing talking alone?" Izuku's head perked up and he smiled happily while wagging his tailfin.

"Pyro, you're here!!" Izuku said happily. "Come here, I want to show you something!!" Izuku made a 'come here' gesture as a Cyndaquil appears on the screen.

"So CUTE!!!" The girls practically squealed at the sight of Cyndaquil. The others have to cover their ears due to how close they all are.

"Girls, may I request you all to tone it down? I have sensitive hearing." Nedzu tried his best not to show his discomfort towards their squeal, but it was as clear as day.

"Sorry, sir." The girls apologized.

"Remember the project that I mention since the first week of our Rescue Team?" Izuku said as Pyro nodded. "I finally manage to finish it! Look!" Izuku points at the camera. "I finally manage to create a working moving-picture capture thanks to Alakazam's help! With this, I can record everything, my movement, voice, color, you name it!"

"Whoa, that's so cool!" Pyro said in an impressed tone. "How did you even talk to Alakazam so casually? I mean, he's known for being the high-ranking rescuer and all."

"Just because he's a high-ranking rescuer doesn't mean he's the second Arceus-in-making." Izuku points out. "He told me that he's kind of tired of having pokemon praising him too much and having very high expectations for him and his team."

"He did!?" Pyro asked in shock.

"Pyro, He just like you, another pokemon. He reaches his ranking because of hard work and determination. He wasn't born with that kind of strength, everyone has a starting point. It's not weird if he feels that way." Izuku explained.

"Oh, Arceus. All of us pressured him that much?" Pyro asked no one in particular.

"Sad reality being a celebrity," Izuku said with a grim nod.

"Is that true, Principal Nedzu?" Ojiro asked as Nedzu nodded while drinking his tea.

"Unfortunately," Nedzu replied. "Just like them, every hero had to deal with the expectations society puts on them. Civilians always think that heroes will be there to save them, and heroes will make sure they do. It made them over-reliant for heroes terribly to the point heroes never catch a break."

"Now I'm questioning every choice in my life," Sero mutters quietly.

"You can just quit the course, you know?" Mineta said.

"Why don't you?" He retorted, making Mineta shut up.

"Anyway," Pyro shakes his head as he faces Izuku. "What exactly are you doing using the 'camera'? Just to record yourself?"

"I want to make a video of me talking about how my life was. It's like a diary, but in a moving picture and sound instead of just simply writing in a book." Izuku shrugged. "I lost my memory once. This video will stop me from forgetting another one. I don't want to forget you at all." Izuku said with a smile. "And maybe, this will help me to stay sane."

"....Izuku, you're okay?" Pyro is understandably worried. His friend just said he's slowly losing sanity casually.

"..." Izuku just gives him a big grin with a shrug.

"....He's going to meet Hound Dog once he returns," Nedzu commented

"We need to talk about this," Pyro said with a glare before looking at the camera. "So, how are you doing this.....video?"

"Since it's our first video, why don't we start with a small introduction?" Izuku suggested.

"Why? No one's going to watch it." Pyro said. This causes the whole Class 1-A to feel awkward. Oh, how wrong you are Pyro.

"I don't exactly know why, it just feels.....right, I guess?" Izuku said with an unsure tone.

"....." Pyro gave him a blank look before sighing. "Fine, the name's Pyro, Izuku's partner, and first friend. I encounter him at the Tiny Woods sleeping near a pond. He told me he was a human and I was completely thinking that he has a few screws loose."

"Ouch!" Izuku said in a mock offended tone.

"If our position switched, you will think the same," Pyro replied. "Anyway, I didn't exactly believe him until he proves it. I mean, seriously, you can't walk on 4 properly." Pyro snickered as Izuku blushed heavily.

"C'mon, Pyro! I used to have 2 legs, not 4! You're asking a Magikarp to grow a leg and walk on land!" Izuku said in an embarrassed tone.

"It's even more silly when you tried to walk two legs! You walk like Eiscue! You know, like this." Pyro demonstrates it by walking like a penguin or Eiscue. This caused everyone to burst out laughing. Even Nedzu spit takes and laughed. Izuku blushed before slapping Pyro, causing him to fall.

"I didn't walk like that, you jerk!" Izuku said.

"Hahaha! Jokes aside, he also proves it by showing how inexperienced he is in a battle, didn't know about throwing items, or even mystery dungeon." Pyro said. "You act like a clueless child who starts to learn anything."

"You can't exactly blame an amnesiac boy from an alternate universe to understand something that isn't supposed to be possible." Izuku deadpanned.

"I know, but it's still funny," Pyro said with a cheeky smile. Izuku covers his face with his front paws, too embarrassed with his partner's antics.

"I regret ever asking you to join the recording," Izuku said before looking at the camera. "Anyway, I create the Rescue Team with this knucklehead and we save several pokemon who got stuck in a Mystery Dungeon."

"I just realise something," Itsuka said, gaining everyone's attention. "Izuku seems more open and more emotional around Pyro. If I recall, he never actually act like this with any of you."

"I guess you're right...." Sato muttered.

"That's kinda sad," Kaminari said, confusing everyone. "I mean, we tried to befriend him for a lot of time and he still didn't trust us enough to tell us anything." This causes everyone to agree silently. Izuku has caused a huge impact on the class, especially when he took his role as a true leader. Even Mineta manages to tone down his perverseness, only saying a few innuendos, and didn't try sexual harassment towards any girls.

"And I'm pretty sure you already got yourself a fan. That Caterpie looks at you like you're his hero and all." Pyro points out as Izuku scratches the back of his neck.

"Hey, we did the rescue together. Doesn't mean that he's our fan instead of just me?" Izuku asked.

"I'm not the one who takes a Poison Jab from Ariados to protect a child on the first day of your arrival in this world and reassured him with your catchphrase 'Don't worry, because I am here.'" This shocked everyone. They know Izuku is a very kind-hearted person, but hearing him takes a powerful hit from someone to protect a child just gives them more reason to respect him.

"C'mon, do you have to say that? I didn't even know what I'm doing back then, saying a weird catchphrase like that." Izuku said with an exasperated sigh.

"I don't know, it kind of fits you perfectly. Especially with your self-sacrificing attitude." Pyro said with a smirk.

"I'm not self-sacrificing," Izuku mutters.

"You used your body to protect me from Electric attacks in Thunderwave Cave, Steel Wings from a mad Skarmory, Shadow Ball and Sucker Punch from Gengar, Psybeam from Medicham, Poison Fang from Ekans, and Energy Ball from those Grass-Types. I know you're a chunky boi, but that's too much sacrifice for my liking." Pyro said as Izuku pouts.

"Okay, you got a point. And I'm not chunky." Izuku said with a pout. The girls couldn't help but coo at Kipzuku's adorableness.

"Dude, you're bulkier than any Mudkip, especially with how you throw me 50 feet when you start getting used to using your front paws." Pyro deadpans. "I'm crashing like a shooting star because of that." Izuku blushed while looking away.

"Sorry...." Izuku mutters Mareepishly. Pyro grins before giving Izuku a one-armed hug.

"No worries. Besides, thanks to that, we manage to create a combination attack. Exploding Meteor!" Pyro shouted enthusiastically.

"We are not calling it that." Izuku deadpans. "It didn't even explode upon impact."

"Oh, come on! You ruined the whole fun!" Pyro whined like a child as Izuku laughed.

"Huh, both of them act like brothers." Sero points out as everyone agrees.

"Anyway, let's end this video for today," Izuku said as Pyro looks at him in confusion.

"I thought it would be longer than that. You know, because of diary and all." Pyro said.

"I know, but we still got a job tomorrow, we better get some rest," Izuku said as Pyro groaned.

"I love my job, I just wish it doesn't have to be this exhausting," Pyro complained.

"If you're tired, we can take a break for a day," Izuku suggested. "There's so much Rescue Team that substitutes those who are unfit to do their job for several days."

"No way!" Pyro said with a grin. "No way am I going to let others do our work. I'm not going to cause a burden to anyone."

"Okay, just make sure to get enough rest. And please sleep in a base instead of the friend area," Izuku said.

"Why does Izuku ask him to stay in the base instead of the friend's area? I thought that was for all the recruits to stay?"

"Why?"

"Pyro, you're my teammate and my friend. Hearing you sleep in a wild open area while I sleep in a base, I can't help but feel guilty." Izuku said.

"Oh." The question was unintentionally answered by Izuku.

"You know that most pokemon live that way," Pyro said, not understanding why it's a problem.

"I prefer you to stay here. It's much safer." Izuku said. "Maybe when we're renovating the base, I can add more room just in case for a recruit."

"But...." Izuku gives him Baby-Doll Eyes, causing Pyro loses any will to argue. "Fine..." Izuku cheered before turning off the camera.

"That's....a lot of things to process," Iida admits.

"We may react to the videos, but we are still unable to believe the whole thing," Momo added.

"Hey, Todoroki, are you okay? You've been quiet the...." Mina asked but stops when she saw Todoroki writing in a notebook non-stop. His eyes show his loss of sanity, smokes coming out of his pen and notebook.

"This is interesting. This video has opened my eyes. So many possibilities, so many predictions, and so many theories. The possibilities are endless!" Todoroki said as everyone slowly moves away from him.

"He's gone into the depth of insanity," Sato muttered.

"The Abyss has claimed one of us as its victims," Tokoyami commented.

"I need to know more. I must know the truth!" Todoroki said before looking at Koda with a crazed look, which terrified the poor boy. "KODA! CHOOSE THE NEXT VIDEO!!"

"Todoroki, no!" Momo said.

"Todoroki, yes!" Todoroki laughed maniacally.

"Icy-Hot has lost it," Bakugou muttered before swiftly chopping the boy's neck, rendering him unconscious.

"Thank you, Bakugou," Momo said. "I think we should return this to where it belongs. We don't need to watch more."

"Oh, come on, Yaomomo! I want to watch more of Kipzuku!" Mina said.

"Kipzuku?" Some of the students asked in confusion.

"He's a Mudkip and he's Izuku, Kipzuku." This explanation causes the students to give her deadpan stares.

"We should stop watching these videos. We've violated Midoriya's privacy, and we're supposed to be his friends." Iida said, trying to stop everyone from watching more.

"I think we should continue to watch it." Everyone looks at Nedzu, who drinks his tea. "But, I prefer if we keep it secret from the others. Who knows what will happen if this information got into the wrong hand."

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Principal Nedzu?" Iida asked.

"I know we're violating his privacy by watching his video. But, I want to know more about my student and maybe help whatever troubles him. You heard what Pyro said from the video, he is self-sacrificing and it was proven by how reckless he is, jumping into Nomu when Aizawa is in trouble. We need to find a way to help him and mellow down his recklessness. He's going to get himself killed if this keeps happening." Nedzu said as everyone could only nod.

"And Kendo, Tetsutetsu. Keep this from your class." This shocked both students. "I know how much you care about your class but we don't want this secret to be spread too much."

"Can't we tell some of our friends?" Kendo asked.

"Unless your friend is good enough to keep a secret, I'll allow it. But, never include Monoma. I saw how hostile he turns every time 1-A involves. We don't need him to report secrets to other teachers." Nedzu said. "But, it'll be better if you didn't tell anyone."

"Got it, sir." Two 1-B students nodded.

"Alright, how about let's start the next one?" Mina said excitedly.

"I still think this is a bad idea," Momo mutters before pressing a play button.

To Be Continued
