7 Chapter 7: 3 Years Later
~ 3 and a half years later ~
It was more than three years since the last time Izuku used his fishing quirk.
Not once since then, the spot he could fish at was in Japan, which was a bit troublesome for Izuku since he and his mother earned some money over the years but didn't want to waste it on vacation.
They would rather use it for more Baits, but they seem unlucky until now.
He was now fourteen years old, and just today, they talked about their future in school.
Like always, his teacher had to mock him with the first choice he had filled out on the paper they got and had to call it out in front of the whole class, and once again, his old friend Katsuki had to scream at him for the fact he wanted to participate in the U.A. entrance exam.
It's not as if Izuku didn't write any other choices on the list. There were even some regular schools on the list further down, but his teacher didn't bother to tell that fact.
This time, at least, he wasn't beaten by Katsuki, but his notice book suffered a bit to his immense regret.
He trained after that day three years ago and combined with the pill he took and the Sea King flesh he ate, he was stronger than many other fourteen-year-olds, but in the end, he still couldn't stop someone with a strong explosion quirk like Katsuki.
At least there was no problem with Katsuki's so-called friends.
One of them only has wings as a quirk, and the other has long fingers, which is pretty useless in a fight.
Of course, it would be another thing if they trained their quirks, but in this case, where they didn't train, Izuku could easily win against them.
But Katsuki himself was still stronger than him.
The only good thing in the last few years was that he and Nejire still visited each other daily.
Even after Nejire entered U.A. last year, she still visited after school every day.
It was a happy thing for both of them since they are each other's best friends even to this day.
They still watched One Piece together almost every day and were nearly done with the Dressrosa Arc by now.
Izuku couldn't help but yearn for the power of a Devil Fruit at the moment, seeing as it is almost the same as a quirk, only in most cases even stronger.
Nejire even came every morning through the portal for her trip to the U.A. since her own home is three hours from the school and Izuku's only half an hour.
When Izuku was still in thoughts about the future and past, there suddenly was a loud voice behind him.
Before he could even understand what happened, he quickly stepped aside, not a second too late, to see a weird brown slime-looking thing speeding past him at the spot he had just stood a moment ago.
"A middle-sized container. Perfect timing. It will only need some seconds, so don't struggle, and your death will be painless. Don't worry." The creepy sounding voice said behind Izuku.
Hearing this voice, Izuku quickly turned around to face what he suspected was the Villain who had just told him that dreadful sentence.
The Villain is a big brown slime-looking thing.
'The only thing hard seems to be the eyes? It should be his weakness. He should be stunned for a moment if I could throw something into it.' Izuku couldn't stop to analyze before; in a moment of thought, he instantly took his backpack and threw it into the direction of the eyes of the Villain.
The Villain, not expecting something like that to happen so fast, was only a second too late to dodge the backpack and, in the next moment, saw some books flying into his eyes.
After the book's impact, the Villain couldn't stop but scream at the boy in front of him.
"AHHHHHH. You shitty little Prat! I will kill you." He screamed, thrashing around with his tentacles.
'How disgusting.' Izuku thought to himself when he saw the giant slime trashing out with his tentacles. He couldn't help but shudder at the sight.
Izuku could see that the man was in pain and that his theory was correct, so he instantly turned around and ran.
He knew himself and knew he had no chance against someone like that Villain, and he wouldn't risk it either, so he had to run quickly.
'There are so many heroes in this city, and I am sure someone will be coming soon.' Izuku thought to himself.
When he was some meters away, he could hear one more voice suddenly sounding behind him. A Voice that he knew. Probably every kid in his generation knew this voice.
All Might. Izuku's childhood Idol.
Izuku couldn't help but quickly turn around to see his old idol in action.
Looking back, Izuku could already see the man coming to his rescue.
He was a tall, blond man with a massive smile on his face.
'It is indeed All Might!' Izuku thought to himself with some excitement.
"Everything is fine now, boy! Since I am here!" the blond man shouted, looking toward the boy who just returned to the scene.
Before Izuku could say something, the tall blond man suddenly jumped in front of the Villain and punched him to pieces.
....
That was a day when many things changed for Izuku.
Not only did he meet his favorite Hero, All Might, for the first time, but he even gained an autograph and recognition.
After the debacle under the bridge later in the day, he once again saw the Villain who captured Katsuki, his main bully, and without thinking, Izuku jumped to the scene to help.
Even though he didn't change a thing, he was still content since, through this action, he was favored by All Might and even offered to get All Might's quirk.
He certainly declined the quirk since he didn't need it, but he was still happy to get the recognition and trust from the number one Hero in Japan.
Knowing that his favorite Hero was injured and could only work for three hours a day was shocking, but when their conversation finished, he could contently say that All Might liked him!
Laying in his bed, his head full of thoughts, he was still awake at midnight when his quirk renewed the spot he could fish at and was happy when he saw where the place was.
'Takoba Municipal Beach Park'
The Takoba Municipal Beach Park is located some minutes away from his home, and he could easily go there.
It even had the advantage that nobody would be there since, over the years, it transformed into a junkyard.
Before sleep got to Izuku, he still sent a message to Nejire to visit him tomorrow at 10 am for a fishing trip at the Takoba Municipal Beach Park.
