"Wait… so you're saying you have had me doing the school curriculum when school was not even in session? And now all I have to do is the hero stuff?"
Izuku asked, genuinely confused as Nezu sipped some tea.
"To be honest, your intelligence is staggering. Much better than what any hero school could teach a prodigy to become. So I have cultivated your intelligence so that you may focus on becoming the hero you wish to be."
"What if I don't want to be a hero?"
That question froze Nezu. An image of a bioengineered dinosaur designed to kill and disappear, hunting the streets, taking heroes out before they could react. If Izuku wished to be a criminal. There were very few who could stop him. Such as All Might or Endeavor, but the damage would shake Hero Society.
"Uhh? Nezu?"
Nezu choked on his tea, then cleared his throat as he examined Izuku. He then mentally scolded himself. How could this innocent young man have found light in the darkness of life? Aizawa, of course worried; he saw the feral anger that had burst from the kid when he tore the head from the doctor's body. Aizawa would not admit it, but it had frightened him; Nezu knew it, and he would keep his teacher's secret. The super scary kid who put fear into the man who had been drugged on cocaine, then fought an entire ring of gang members while injured, was currently eating sugar cubes like they were candy.
"Izuku, if you do not wish to be a hero, that is perfectly fine. We have other courses, but if you want my advice, you would make an excellent hero."
Izuku nodded, then looked to the side. He and Nezu were at the top of UA, looking over the city. After a long moment.
"…I just want to live how I want. I spent years on a table while the world moved on. I want to see the world that was kept for me."
Nezu nodded silently, already feeling that Izuku may not become a hero. He began thinking of schemes to point the young prodigy towards becoming a hero.
"But I want to see the world while it's a safe place."
Nezu froze as he turned to Izuku, who was locked in staring at the rising sun, wind gently ruffling his hair.
"I want others to see the world as well. I don't want another child to go through what I went through. I want to make sure it never happens again. Even if it means I don't get to see the world. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Izuku paused, then turned to Nezu, who tensed. Izuku's eyes had thinned into a predatory gaze.
"I will show this world why you should never cage a predator. I will show them what happens when you try to take away a child's childhood."
Nezu grinned as the sun outlined the boy; he did not look like a child who had suffered years of torment. He looked like a king proclaiming a fact.
"Good, then we here at UA will make sure you have everything you need to do that."
A day later
Izuku sat in the common room of the dorms as he waited for some people to show up. Apparently Nezu had transferred the school to a boarding school situation for "Educational purposes" But izuku had seen charts explaining hormones and the difference of them in-between females and males. It was all just another experiment for the mad principle. But Izuku was happy, he was going to spend time around people his own age. Probably not with the same experiences but people all the same.
'I wanna see a person with a cat quirk…. Catgirls are cute…'
Izuku daydreamed after stumbling onto a video of the aforementioned girls on the internet. He figured they were soft and cuddly and wanted to meet one but his thoughts were interrupted as the door opened.
A tall dignified women walked in with raven black hair and a dignified posture. She had a dozen men behind her who immediately filed in carrying various different pieces of furinture.
"Oh! Hello there. My name is Momo(still can't spell) Its nice to make your acquaintance.
"Well damn… you look like a princess. Its nice to meet you,"
Momo blushed at the boy lounging on a couch but was looking at her intently seeming to ponder her.
"Should I like kneel or something? OH! Wait! I remember you!"
Izuku suddenly sat up and Momo looked surprised. She did not recognize the boy from anywhere. She had been to held up on random nightmares from her exam.
"You do? I am sorry but I dont seem to remember you."
She did try to be civil though, why make enemies of the people you would be spending the rest of your collage life with.
"Yeah it's fine, we met at the recommended exam."
No mom was feeling bad, if they had met in person and interacted she genuinely felt bad that she did not remember the boy. He was handsome but his eyes unsettled her, they seemed dead. Almost like he was projecting g a mask.
"It's fine, you were kinda busy running. I was the dinosaur."
"…what?"
Ida Tenya approached the entrance of the dorms with pride. He had been accepted into the most prestigious hero school in the country try and he was another step closer to making his brother proud. Taking a deep breath he opened the door ready to face any challenges that came his way.
"I HAVE BEEN HAVEING NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS CAUSE OF YOU!!"
"I Am SORRY! ITS NEZU'S FAULT HE MADE ME DO IT!"
"I MISSED MY MORNING TEA THREE TIMES IN A ROW BECAUSE I WAS TO TIRED!!"
"I APOLOGISE!! PLEASE STOP HITTING ME!!"
Momo, the heiress of one of the biggest corporations in the world. Was currently beating a green haired boy into the depths of a couch with a pillow as she whaled into him.
Ida was a smart man, he knew what he needed to do to make a good impression and strive for class president. Takeing a deep breath and raising his hand.
He closed the door and took a tactical retreat.
"A man fears no beast or demon. But a man fears the wrath of a women."
Ida quoted sagely as he remembered the time his older brother had brought home a bunny women and the next morning he had a cracked hip. Sitting in his bed whinging in pain he spoke those words to Ida and he never forgot them.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Midoriya! My name is Ida Tenya."
Ida introduced himself to the green haired boy with four comical bumps stacked on top of each other on his head.
"Its nice to meet you to…" *Whispers* "Save me please"
Izuku sat next to the annoyed Momo who was pouting with her cheeks puffed out as Izuku had anime tears falling from his face.
*Whispers* "I am sorry brother… This is your fight."
Ida whispered back as he then went off to decorate his room.
People continued to stream into the dorm and Izuku greeted them over his phone as he explored the world of cosplayers.
Some people he made notes to watch out for, the ice-cream hair guy just seemed broken but not the kinda broken Izuku thought that he himself was. The other boy was kinda just… fed up with the world. The other guys were the purple haired dude who looked liked grape. He had immediately snatched his phone to see what he was looking at and began drooling over a female cosplayer who was doing an angel cosplay. It did show a lot of skin but the person underneath the costume was most of the reason the costume worked.
"Are… are you a man of culture?"
The grape boy had whispered to him but Izuku just took his phone back and ignored him. There was also the two blondes, one just seemed angry with the world and was constantly looking for the fight, so Izuku just mentally noted down that if he ever just wanted to fight he knew who he could go to. The other blonde and knee slid into the drom hip thrusting all the way as he sparkled. There was nothing wrong with the guy, a little eccentric but Izuku just felt that something was… off.
Eventually all of the class converged in the common room where Izuku was taking up an entire couch to himself. He didn't move but his legs were lifted up and two people sat with his legs on their laps. A dude with tape arms and another guy with red hair and shark teeth. His head was lifted up and landed on the side of a girl with purple hair and cool earphone jacks. Izuku had been going through heavy metal clips and when the girl had seen she had sat his head on her lap and had been commentating.
"Yeah, Quirk Death is a good band but they lost a drummer to a villain attack and the new guy just dose'nt have the feeling for the instrument."
A push as he flipped to another video.
"Cellular decay is one off my favorites, there combination of guitars and piano give a whole new meaning to metal, that's not even counting their drums."
Izuku had been just listening pleasantly as the whole class chatted but after a moment he looked up at the girl and spoke.
"My names Izuku by the way, figured I would introduce myself. But what about those people with Music quirks? Are they normal better or nah?"
The girl seemed surprised at the eye contact and she twirled an earphone jack around a finger.
"Uhh, yeah. My names Jiro. A lot of people who have music quirks are not normaly into music. I have noticed that a lot of people with quirks that have no connection too music are usually better at it."
"Why is that?"
"I think it's because the people who genuinely want to make music find some magic in their instruments that let them do the thing they loved."
"You can feel an instrument? I thought you just played it?"
Izuku asked confused and Jiro smiled at that, a cocky smile but a smile none the less.
"Music is more then just sound. It's an expression of self and person. These bands have come together to scream their souls out to the world."
Izuku nodded and went back to scrolling with Jiro commenting. But after a minute a girl with pink skin and pink hair stood up and exclaimed.
"We should do a room tour!! It could help us get closer as a new class and it's fun!"
Izuku looked up with the rest of the class at the girl in science but she stood there grinning despite the silence.
"Sure, why not."
Izuku shrugged and rolled off all the people he was on and stretched.
"Might be fun and I'll get to make fun of boom boom boys room."
"EHHHHH WHAT DID YOU SAY BEAN STALK."
The blonde boy who had been brooding in the corner yelled and Izuku paused.
"That… That was actually pretty cleaver."
Izuku then turned to the yellow haired Pokemon in the room.
"You should write that down, so in case he ever uses an insult again we get to clown on him for not getting new material."
The yellow boy was already writing while snickering and the blonde boy was growling.
"Follow me nerds, I want to see the princess's room soon. I saw those movers transfer a king sized bed into that room."
Izuku then started walking off to his room not caring who followed him. The pink girl followed him along with Jiro, the Pokemon and the two guys who his legs were on. Eventually the whole class was following him.
Izuku turned and with a dramatic glint in his eye he spread his arms out wide.
"Welcome… to…"
He then grabbed the handle and opened the door to his room.
"My room."
Izukus room was full of theoretical biology books along with a glass case with a strange bone inside it. Next to it is a shelf full of secure boxes with individual locks for each one. His bed was a mess of colorful blankets. His walls were full of posters of shows and games he hadn't played yet.
"Actually can somebody explain this poster to me? Mrs, Midnight gave it to me said I needed to "Know beauty when you see it." And I dont know what to do."
Izuku then pointed everybody's attention to a poster of Midnight signed where she was endorsing a clone in undergarments.
Several of the girls blushed and the guys nodded in respect.
"She's trying to make you horny bro."
The walking Pokémon said and Izuku starred at him for a moment then sighed.
"Well come on in. Not like I am gatekeeping anything."
People filled his room and immediately started touching everything.
"DUDE! This bed is so soft! You have like a gazillion blankets!"
The pink girl exclaimed as she jumped on his bed.
"All of these books are the theoretics on how a dinosaurs body would be constructed…"
Momo then pulled a notebook down and flipped it open and froze. She slowly turned to Izuku and gaped.
"You…"
"Yep."
"How…?"
"Quirk and trial and error."
"But…"
Momo was at a lost for words, the book was a detailed schematic on the entire genetic make up of a T-Rex. There were notes on what did and did not work including modifications go improve the Dino.
"Izuku what is this?"
Jiro asked as she reached a hand into the glass case which had a built in glove.
"It's a Velociraptor leg."
Jiro froze while touching the strange bone.
"What?"
"Yeah, cost a lot but I am sort building a collection."
Izuku pointed to the cases in the wall and everybody connected the dots.
"Dude… That's manly as hell! You have a bookshelf full of dinosaur bones?!"
The red hair shark dude exclaimed and Izuku grinned at him.
"I got a megaldon tooth. Want to see if we can integrate it with yours?"
"Hell yeah!!!"
After a few failed attempts of implanting a tooth into Kirishimas mouth they moved on going through the rooms. Izuku was respectful of everybody's space and wouldn't enter anybody's room unless they said he could. But when it eventually got to the grape kids room he stepped infant of every body and stopped them.
"I think we should skip this guys room."
"Midobro why?"
Kirishima asked while the grape kid peaked his head out of the room.
"Come on in…. I'll show you something…. Wonderful."
Everybody paused and looked at the dude then all simotaniously spoke.
"Nope."
