Darkness covered the whole place. The air surrounding was cold as ice.
I had to run.
Running with all my strength, even if my throat was burning, my heart was beating so hard or the muscles of my body was hurtful.
Faster…
I had to run faster.
Explosions and screams echoed everywhere, and a bright flame erupted in the darkness. The chaotic sounds were everywhere but I could barely hear anything.
Tears welled up in my eyes, madness, helplessness, suffering. My dear house was completely collapsed.
I rushed to the broken house. My fingers barely obeyed my orders, they were trembling frantically, and my heart was about to tear.
“Mommy…”
My voice was husky, my throat choked bitter. The clothes on my body were soaked in water, the cold in winter made me chill to the bone. I tossed the dumped school bag aside, frantically digging through the ruins with my bare arms.
Blood flowed from my hands, ten fingertips were bruised, my throat was dry and smelly blood. I even did not realize when the first snow of the season had fallen …
“Izuku, why don’t we have dinner together this evening?”
“Izuku, I booked the restaurant you love most.”
“I love you … I love you so much, Izuku …”
————————
Pant…
In the middle of the crowded center, which was a normal sunny day in mid-spring, at this moment, screams suddenly appeared.
A giant three meters tall with massive muscles ran quickly, pedestrians were all knocked to the side by him on the walkway. Cars on the brake road rushed together, people shouted running. What a chaotic scene…
The giant turned his head to look behind. His expression panicked, he tried to increase in speed, ignoring countless pedestrians under his feet. Due to his enormous body size, people hardly noticed that in his hand was holding the collar of a thin seven years old boy with a bag full of money. The baby’s face was filled with tears, moaning and pleading:
“Dad … Please … stop.”
The angry giant roared:
“Shut up! It’s all your fault! It’s all because of your damn unstable quirk! Quickly use your power, you idiot! “
The child’s eyes were filled with despair. His power created a portal to teleportation, but he was still too weak to control it. The boy clasped the money bag he was carrying, his bruised hand trembled. He closed his eyes.
‘Please… someone save me…’
The giant suddenly got chill, he hurriedly put his hand to the left.
“Shoot Style. St. Louis Smash!!!”
The giant’s eyes widened, his muscles stiffened. But while maximizing his strengthening ability, upon hearing that voice, his body was immediately kicked to the left, smashing into a giant wall of ice that had appeared suddenly.
The ice wall quickly formed a circle, protecting the surrounding people from dangerous criminal.
Midoriya, dressed in a heroic suit, lightly landed on the ground. He appeared right in front of the giant in an instant with lightning speed. The giant’s reaction speed was not slow either, he roared, punching the brat in front of him:
“Damn hero! Get out!”
Midoriya tilted his head, the giant’s fists almost touching his hair. Midoriya’s arm slammed into his loophole, his left hand threw a punch, and his right hand pulled the child out of the giant guy.
“One for All: 5% Detroit Smash!!!”
A direct punch to the giant’s left flank, a punch that made him eyes wide-open in agony and back three steps.
Midoriya did not dare to be negligent, holding the child back quickly while saying loudly:
“Kacchan! Now!”
The giant suddenly heard the explosion near his ear, sweat suddenly flooded his forehead. Another heroic brat with blond hair that was flickering like a hedgehog was extending his hands towards him.
Bakugou frowned while hearing Midoriya’s voice and yelled:
“Shut up Deku! I know what to do! ”
But speaking of which, he still charged at the same time…
“Stun Grenade!”
A pillar of fire that rose up high was quickly covered by a large iceberg. A young woman, who was hugging a child covered behind a wall of ice, stared the boy standing in front of her. This person has half-white, half-red hair color, and uses ice powers. The woman immediately remembered who the person in front of her was.
Todoroki Shoto. He is son of no. 1 hero, Endeavor.
It took less than ten minutes from the bank robbery to the completion of the crime arrest. Actually, class 1A was practicing mock battle outside of the school. The three of them were originally enemies, coincidentally hearing the explosion so they immediately came before the official hero. Todoroki looked around, they finished it without ruin much. Midoriya’s immediate plan was still just as perfect.
The giant’s body was scorched with smoke, his muscles slowly disappeared and returning to his normal human form. He is held captive by a large iceberg, almost unconscious.
Bakugou turned angrily to where the ice came from and roared:
“You bastard with two colors hair! I’m not finished yet, why did you jump in for? “
Todoroki raised his eyebrows. Ignoring the howling furry hedgehog across the street, he walked over to Midoriya and asked:
“Are you okay?”
Midoriya smiled, about to reply when the child suddenly shook violently. The boy’s eyes blood vessel could be seen, his pupils were fixed on his father’s unconscious father.
“Dad…”
His voice was husky. He would die. His dad would kill him because he was useless. Because he was useless, no one would need him. He must die. He must die…
Todoroki had a feeling of something weird, and involuntarily seeing a black circle appear behind Midoriya’s back. His pupils were immediately shrunk.
“Midoriya!”
When Midoriya still did not realize the situation, Todoroki immediately grabbed his arm. After pulling Midoriya towards him, the left half of his body emitted hot flames towards the black circle. Midoriya didn’t know when Bakugou got to his side, he was releasing a large explosion blocking the black circle.
People stood outside the ice wall suddenly heard a loud bang, everyone panicked and ran away.
Todoroki’s eyebrows furrowed, and Bakugou stood beside him was grimacing and muttering something. Midoriya stood behind them, his eyes did not leave the center of the explosion for once. Holding the child in his arms, he softly said:
“It’s okay. I will protect you.”
The child muttered:
“Dad… Dad will kill me. I will die. I … I must die … “
Midoriya felt the boy in his arms still trembling unceasingly. At that moment, he noticed, a seven-year-old child was too small for his age, he had numerous large and small wounds, not to mention bruises everywhere.
Anger arose in Midoriya’s heart. Turning his head toward the giant from just now, Midoriya was startled.
Where was that guy?
Suddenly there was a scream, it turned out the criminal had regained consciousness. He grabbed a girl in front of him like a cannonball, then rushed towards Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugou.
Todoroki and Bakugou looked the criminal running like a lunatic. Without using his quirk to attack them, it was an illusion. Bakugou laughed, his hands made some explosions:
“This guy is mine.”
Todoroki did not want to contend with this, just saying:
“Watch out for the girl in his hand.”
More importantly, that black hole was really strange. Todoroki looked towards it, even though the flames burned continuously, he still sensed that there was something dangerous behind the black circle.
The seven-year-old’s eyes, filled with despair, muttered:
“Dad hates useless people. He will kill everyone who gets in his way. “
Midoriya frowned.
The criminal laughed wildly:
“Die! Let’s die!!!!”
The child in Midoriya’s hand suddenly shouted:
“Not!!!! I don’t want to die! I’m sorry! I’m sorry. Don’t kill me. Don’t leave me!!!!”
Along with the child’s scream, the black circle suddenly became bigger, the air surrounding it look like a paper distorted. Midoriya suddenly looked at the bag worn on the unconscious child after shouting. He threw the money aside, there were three bombs under the pile.
He immediately embraced the baby, forcefully tore the handle of the bag and threw it away. He wanted to warn Todoroki but at the same time the criminal had thrown the girl at the three of them, his body instantly transformed into a giant.
His target was that black circle!
Midoriya gritted his teeth. Todoroki was forced to stop the fire and used ice to cover the bag containing the bombs thrown by Midoriya. Bakugou wanted to explode that criminal but he had to catch the girl, his face was frowning as if he ate a chilli.
The criminal reached out to side of the black circle and laughed wildly:
“Ha ha ha!!! I will be able to escape! Damn you heroes!!!! ”
The guy will run away!
Midoriya quickly reached out his hand but could not make it. Bakugou, who had to put the cilvil’s safety first, was forced to protect the girl despite boiling over with his anger. Todoroki stuck with the bombs so no one could catch the criminal. At the same time with the criminal’s frantic laughter, three bombs exploded violently, the two meter thick ice shattered all over the place.
Midoriya protected the seven-year-old child with his hands. His heart sank, thinking that the mission of capturing criminals this time had failed. They could not know where the criminal going if he escaped successfully…
Suddenly Midoriya heard a sigh amidst the loud explosion.
It was extremely familiar.
“Failed product…”
The criminal glared at the guy inside the black hole, he could not believe it. How could someone come out from the other side of the gate? He shouted:
“Whoever… No one can stop me!!!! Die!!!”
He said as he concentrated his strengthening quirk to throw a fist. In a life-and-death struggle, this attack was surprisingly strong, even those with Midoriya who were nearby could feel its power.
The person on the other side of the gate smiled slightly, his laughter made the criminal chills.
Not letting the criminal say more words, the person on the other side of the black hole stepped out, threw a powerful punch.
That person’s punch was directly into the giant’s fist. A second of their fists touching each other, the giant criminal also knew that the strength of both sides was not on the same level.
The criminal’s arm was like a pile of mud from the strength of the guy in front of him. Hands, wrists, arms, bones, a blink of an eye, all of them were crushed. The criminal’s pupils widened, still unable to believe what that kind of power was. His body flew like a star, shooting straight at the opposite building.
Everyone could clearly hear the loud bang. The three meter giant flew over 100 meters, one floor of the building appeared a hole through more than ten walls.
Midoriya watched the crushed building. He felt the strength radiating from the person behind, his muscles tensed.
There was a voice screaming in his head. The person on the other side of the space portal was extremely dangerous.
Must kill him!!!
He must kill him!
The man slowly stepped out of the black curtain, his black gloved hands brushed off some dirt from the criminal a moment ago.
Todoroki turned his head, his body stopped because of surprise.
How could it be?
Bakugou widened his eyes, slowly swallowed his saliva:
“What the hell …?”
The girl sitting behind Bakugou opened her eyes wide, her face was instantly red. The person who came out was a man 24, 25 years old, about 1m75 tall, wearing a perfect black suit.
He wore a white shirt inside with black tie, a black waistcoat fitting his slim body, outside wearing a black with silver trim at the collar adorned with a delicate silver brooch. His hands had a thin black gloves. Fit-tailored black trousers with a pair of black laced leather shoes that accentuate his long legs and perfect figure.
The girl originally worked for a fashion magazine. She was walking around looking for a model for the magazine when she was caught up in this mess.
But, worth it!
The girl looked at the man’s face, even her ears were red, thinking that her time had come.
The man used his hand to smooth his slightly messy green-black hair. The face of this person had a few freckles, faint dark circles, his lips were always smiling slightly but feeling extremely distant.
This person’s appearance isn’t rare, but the problem is his aura …
A strange feeling.
It was like… That man just standing there and the people around him will kneel to him in admiration.
The girl just sat on the ground watching, forgetting about the situation around her, only one word left in her mind.
‘Amazing.’
Midoriya almost couldn’t believe his eyes. That man looked around, then stared at Midoriya. Midoriya could also see this person’s astonishment, even though it only appeared for second and then vanished.
The girl blinked, she turned to look at the boy in the green hero suit. Her lips trembled speechlessly. If that boy grew up to be that man, it would too successful to imagine!
Calm down again, Todoroki remained pensive, cautiously defending. Both hands exploded, feeling too unbelievable, Bakugou asked while glaring:
“Deku?”
That man smiled:
“Looks like I’m back in the past, right?”
The hero team quickly appeared to clean up the remnants and reassure the public. Kamui Woods, or Shinji Nishiya, No. 7 hero, touched Midoriya’s shoulder:
“Good job.”
This criminal had been a headache for the heroes for the past week. He used his quirk to violently steal money, and when the hero arrived, he just disappeared. After a day, he would reappear in a new locality, the heroes were completely impossible to locate him.
This time was the same. Even though he ran right after hearing the news, the arrest had already finished when he arrived. Shinji knew the three kids in front of him, as expected, UA was a top hero school. However looking at the scene on the other side of the building, Shinji sighed:
“I don’t know how you can precisely locate to hit the criminal through an entire building without causing any injuries, but next time please pay attention to use moderate strength.”
Midoriya, pretending to cough, scratched his head and said:
“No… I wasn’t the one who do it… That… Kamui-san. What is the child’s quirk?”
“His quirk is something about space. However the child is still young so it isn’t stable. Now we have to take him to the center for some examinations to see if he has any other powers or not. ”
Shinji ordered some heroes to take the child to the research and care center. He sighed deeply for the poor child. Seeing a man in a suit standing behind Midoriya, Shinji wondered why this citizen hadn’t left.
However, this man looked similar to Midoriya.
Shinji suddenly remembered that Midoriya was not the one who had punched that guy… Katsuki Bakugou, the first place of the UA Sports Festival, his quirk is Explosion. And Shoto Todoroki, Endeavor’s son, has fire and ice abilities, completely unrelated to physical strength.
If these two kids wanted to hit a three-meter giant through thirteen walls, at least the whole area would have to be engulfed in flames to match the scene. Midoriya has an unknown father, could it be…
Shinji pointed at the man behind Midoriya, slowly asking:
“This is…Your father…?”
Midoriya: “…”
The man also laughed after listening. Shinji watched him. This person was tall and thin, the look in his eyes seemed friendly, which made Shinji lower his defensive instincts.
Todoroki glanced over at the man who looked like Midoriya, when that man looked back, Todoroki immediately turned his gaze to Shinji and said:
“This person is a relative of Midoriya-kun. As we are still in school time, we need to go back to school immediately.”
Not letting Shinji say any words, Todoroki pulled Midoriya away. Midoriya hurriedly pulled Bakugou and the man while giving Shinji an awkward smile.
After walking about ten minutes to a deserted place, Midoriya surreptitiously turned his head to look behind. The man looked like he was always looking at him, when they made an eye contact, the man smiled friendly.
“Um … Who are you …?”
At first, he thought of the possibility that the person in front of him was Himiko Toga’s disguise. However, she could only transform into an identical form, not into another similar one. Telling this man was his dad… This person did not look over 30 years old on the outside …
The man still walked and adjusted his lap. With a friendly smile, he replied:
“I’m Deku, 26 years old.”
Bakugou rolled his eyes, wanted to curse something but didn’t know what to say. How could that bastard Deku be so different as an adult?
Todoroki pursed his lips, he had already been quiet for a long time and now he was even more silent.
Midoriya was so shock that he could not say a word. The man who claimed to be Deku looked around.
‘This place is peaceful.’
He asked:
“So when is the time now?”
Midoriya hummed in response:
“… I’m 16 years old now …”
The man’s eyes widened in surprise. Watching the three people, Todoroki, Bakugou and Midoriya walked side by side in hero uniforms, he immediately used hand to cover the smile on his face.
“So are you all at UA now?”
Midoriya felt odd talking to himself 10 years later, but he still answered quickly:
“Yes… Now we are after the school festival a week. Oh… Do you remember when we defeated the guy called Kai Chisaki? ”
The man rubbed his chin: “Ah…”
The guy that he beat to a pulp…
He tilted his head slightly, thinking for a moment before saying:
“Kai Chisaki, the leader of Shie Hassaikai right? There was also Eri … “
Midoriya happily nodded:
“Eri is currently in the hospital with Mirio …”
“Ah…Mirio.”
“Um… M-Midoriya-san?”
The other man shook his head. His eyes with faint dark circles, as he smiled, they curled up like a moon. He said:
“Calling Deku is fine. What do you want to ask? “
Midoriya gulped, hummingly asked:
“… Um … Deku-san … Will Mirio-senpai regain his power in the future?”
Deku was silent without answering. His eyes were covered by his messy hair. Midoriya felt anxious. Could Mirio-senpai not regain his powers in the future? Is that why his future was so silent?
The man suddenly smiled and patted Midoriya’s head with his hand:
“Mirio is very strong.”
Midoriya was overjoyed to hear that. The man suddenly rubbed his forehead as he was in pain. He blinked a few times and said:
“Right now I’m being affected a bit by that space quirk, my memory is in chaos…. How is the League of Villains now?”
Midoriya immediately explained the current situation. All Might, who owns One for all, had defeated All for one. He talked about the moment when All Might pointed his finger at the screen when he had lost all of his power, which meant losing the symbol of peace, and how the Shigaraki with his accomplices disappeared.
Midoriya spoke as he secretly observed himself ten years later. Actually, it was not only him, but also Todoroki and Bakugou were carefully observing that man.
It was rare to see Bakugou being quiet for so long …
Midoriya silently stroked the sweat from his forehead.
Bakugou gritted his teeth, still unable to believe that one day he had to raise his eyes to see that bastard Deku, who was a head taller than him. How could that damned Deku’s future be so tall? Moreover, he was so damn powerful.
Deku stroked the messy hair in front of his eyes, the black gloves accentuating the color of his pale skin. And also that damn holy smile …
Bakugou felt Deku’s smile like a dazzling light that made it hard for him to look straight.
How could Deku become like that?
Bakugou glared, his hands made some explosions:
“Oi you damn Deku! You and I, who is stronger in ten years later? “
Midoriya felt like he had cold sweat on his back while listening to Bakugou’s rude words. The man just smiled and replied:
“Both of us are very strong. Kacch- … “
Midoriya was sure he wanted to say “Kacchan”, but for some reason he only called out to half, then fell silent, and said again:
“Everyone is very strong. Todoroki-kun, Bakugou-kun, both of you are very strong. You two are 1st rank heroes. “
Bakugou was bewildered for a moment. Remembering the six words “You two are 1st rank heroes”, he got irritated, immediately pointed his finger at Todoroki standing next to him:
“How the **** can this half-half bastard and I rank as the same 1st place?”
Deku tilted his head innocently, he smiled and replied:
“The two of you compete alternately for 1st place, so people often call you two the same 1st heroes.”
Todoroki acted like he was deaf as Bakugou kept screaming about 1st rank. He put his hands in his pockets. There was another issue that concerned him much more than the ranking …
“So… In the future, can we destroy the League of Villains? How will the people in that organization be judged? “
Deku raised his eyebrows, he put one finger on his lips as a silent sign. The fact that he was wearing a black suit with a distant aura, combining his perfect smile like an evil actor made Todoroki felt frustrated.
“Todoroki-kun, do you know the butterfly effect?…Well, The future should not be revealed too much.”
Todoroki frowned. He wanted to ask about the person who had fire quirk … Dabi …
Only Todoroki-kun and Kacchan were fighting for 1st place… Midoriya shakily pointed at himself and stammered:
“So … So I … I was ranked …”
Deku patted Midoriya’s head so that he could not see Deku’s face, but his voice … made Midoriya felt weird …
“You are strong. Don’t worry about that. ”
Midoriya remembers the man in front him had hit the three meters giant through a whole building. Midoriya could only do it when using One for All – 100%, and the future of himself did not even raise his eyebrows while using it. He happily thought that the future of himself had completely controlled One for All. Deku of ten years later… was really strong.
Midoriya realizes they had been walking close to UA. He excitedly wanted to show All Might about his future.
Deku suddenly stopped walking and looked towards the small road next to him. Nobody noticed that his index finger and thumb touched each other, then silently flicked.
Before Midoriya could ask why Deku stopped, there was a huge explosion in front of him. A large tree was falling down, people around screamed, cars crashed in series, the sound of car horn and screams were everywhere.
Todoroki acted first, he immediately made ice to prevent the tree from falling down and ran towards the explosion. Bakugou did not want to lose so he moved as fast as Todoroki. The stream of people scattered toward Midoriya. He wanted to say Deku waiting for him a little bit but when he turned around, he couldn’t see Deku anymore. Maybe the stream of people had pushed him so they lost each other.
Deku walked quickly, turned left and right many times. When he smelled the scorched flesh, a happy smile appeared.
“Dabi, are you here?”
Standing in the midst of a blue fire and a bunch of people were burned, Dabi’s blue eyes shined like the color of his flame. One hand in his pocket, one hand holding the head of a man, Dabi startled when he heard that voice.
The moment he saw that face, Dabi immediately dropped the guy was in his hand and emitted intense flames.
But … The man in the suit just gently shook his hand, then the surrounding fire was silently disappeared.
Dabi opened his eyes wide in surprise. The person standing there… He recognized this guy was not that pro heroes Midoriya. This guy only had the same face, but the height… the same as him? Who is this?
There was a small flame still caught on the glove, Deku pressed his hand to extinguish it, then slowly stepped toward Dabi. Dabi frowned, used more fire but that person just passed by without having any injuries. When Deku came in front of him, Dabi quickly stepped backward and released an extremely hot blue flame that it melted the brick wall nearby.
The closest distance and the strongest fire Dabi could create, the person in front of him must die.
Dabi’s blue eyes widened. Impossible…
The man gently stepped through the blue flame, reached his hands to Dabi. Dabi’s heart fluttered, his hand with full of blue flame directly touched that guy’s chest. However, that person just wrapped his arms around Dabi and hugged him softly while closing his eyes:
“This world is so different.”
Dabi’s hand immediately stopped. He was dumbfounded.
“Good job.”
This criminal had been a headache for the heroes for the past week. He used his quirk to violently steal money, and when the hero arrived, he just disappeared. After a day, he would reappear in a new locality, the heroes were completely impossible to locate him.

Todoroki acted first, he immediately made ice to prevent the tree from falling down and ran towards the explosion. Bakugou did not want to lose so he moved as fast as Todoroki. The stream of people scattered toward Midoriya. He wanted to say Deku waiting for him a little bit but when he turned around, he couldn’t see Deku anymore. Maybe the stream of people had pushed him so they lost each other.
Deku walked quickly, turned left and right many times. When he smelled the scorched flesh, a happy smile appeared.
“Dabi, are you here?”
Standing in the midst of a blue fire and a bunch of people were burned, Dabi’s blue eyes shined like the color of his flame. One hand in his pocket, one hand holding the head of a man, Dabi startled when he heard that voice.
The moment he saw that face, Dabi immediately dropped the guy was in his hand and emitted intense flames.
But … The man in the suit just gently shook his hand, then the surrounding fire was silently disappeared.
Dabi opened his eyes wide in surprise. The person standing there… He recognized this guy was not that pro heroes Midoriya. This guy only had the same face, but the height… the same as him? Who is this?
There was a small flame still caught on the glove, Deku pressed his hand to extinguish it, then slowly stepped toward Dabi. Dabi frowned, used more fire but that person just passed by without having any injuries. When Deku came in front of him, Dabi quickly stepped backward and released an extremely hot blue flame that it melted the brick wall nearby.
The closest distance and the strongest fire Dabi could create, the person in front of him must die.
Dabi’s blue eyes widened. Impossible…
The man gently stepped through the blue flame, reached his hands to Dabi. Dabi’s heart fluttered, his hand with full of blue flame directly touched that guy’s chest. However, that person just wrapped his arms around Dabi and hugged him softly while closing his eyes:
“This world is so different.”
Dabi’s hand immediately stopped. He was dumbfounded.
Note:
Kamui Woods, or Shinji Nishiya: No. 7 hero
Midoriya finished the situation and he saw Deku come out. There were some scorch marks on the cuffs of his shirt but he looked like he was in good mood.
Midoriya curiously asked: “Where did you go?”
Deku smiled while brushing his sleeve shirt, said:
“I was pushed away by the stream of people. Well, I tried to help out, but you guys had done well, so I waited here, that’s all.”
Hearing the answer, Bakugo immediately frowned at Deku, seemed like he didn’t believe Deku’s answer. Todoroki noticed his abnormality and asked in a low voice:
“What happened?”
Bakugo’s hands let out some small popping noise, he gritted his teeth and left.
…
In the small road with full of burning smoke, ten people lying on the ground were sizzled, Dabi still looked at his own hands.
The man in the black suit smiled and hold of Dabi’s hand, his tender looks made it difficult for Dabi to speak.
“I forgot… In this world, we are enemies, aren’t we?”
“That person…”
Dabi muttered. Twice rushed from the back, intending to praise Dabi but surprisedly, he saw the guy who always had cold look in his eyes was in a daze.
“Dabi? What happened?”
Brushing his hair with his hand, Dabi frowned and turned to leave:
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
…
Midoriya brought Deku back to UA. He reported everything happened this morning to Mr. Aizawa. Aizawa silently glared at the man wearing black suit, then look at Midoriya as he asked himself that this tall guy and this small one was the same person or not.
He asked some personal information about Deku. Deku answered completely correct about his family, hobbies, the past before entering UA and a few details. Finally, Aizawa accepted Deku to meet students in Class 1A.
Midoriya was also worried about disguise, but that man answered nothing wrong about his past before entering UA, including some secret informations that no one knows. Aizawa – sensei even used his Erase quirk so that Deku couldn’t use any quirk when answering.
‘He must be myself in the future’
Midoriya thought. He did not expect that his grown-up would wear such polite clothes, even the manner of talking was sound exactly like the successful businessman on TV he had seen.
Look at Bakugou, who was still pensive, an image that no one dared to imagine, Midoriya whispered:
“He even knew about the story when me and you at the river, something only the two of us knew. I think he is myself in the future, not disguised.”
Bakugou gritted his teeth:
“Shut up! Don’t mention the story at the river! I know it.“
Class 1A was waited in the outdoor practice area for a long time. Mineta grumbled over how long they had to wait for the three Midoriya, Bakugou and Todoroki. Kaminari saw Aizawa-sensei and immediately pulled Mineta’s head back to the gathering position.
Aizawa-sensei who still looked like he was about to die came out first, followed by the cheerful Midoriya, angry Bakugou and calm Todoroki. The class that had just seen them, immediately made a fuss about the long waiting.
Aizawa-sensei raised his hand like a signal of silence, the whole class 1A was still noisy, but when they saw a man in a black suit step toward them, no one could let a word out of their mouth.
Mineta was the first to open his mouth to speak:
“Two … Two Midoriya?”
The man with a saint smile raised his hand. People near him almost had to cover their eyes from the invisible divine light of that smile. The class fell into silence again.
Aizawa thought that the first time he met this person, he was silent for a while, so he somehow sympathized with the children. He said:
“Midoriya, Bakugou, Todoroki arrested a criminal on the way back to school. The opponent’s quirk is the space but it was unstable. The center is currently testing his quirk, but maybe there is also time. ”
At this moment the man look like Midoriya continued:
“So… Hello. I’m Deku in the future, 26 years old. “
A few deep breaths rang out clearly, the whole class was silent then exploded with noise of unbelievable shock.
Mineta and Kaminari rolled their eyes while look at the familiar as unfamiliar face of the person called “Deku”. They suddenly hugged their faces, transformed into the man in the Edvard Munch’s picture – “The Scream”:
“How the hell did future Midoriya become such a perfect person??!!!”
Actually, that is everyone’s question, including Aizawa-sensei…
No one said but since Midoriya was able to make All Might’s face so perfect, everyone would have imagined that he would be just like All Might in the future…
But the one who proclaimed that he was Midoriya in the future? Looking at that appearance and aura! Is there any difference between a famous idol and that guy???
How the hell could this short Midoriya turn into that tall Midoriya?
Mineta rushed to hug Deku’s thighs, his eyes were shining:
“Hey hey!!! Midoriya!!! Midoriya !!! Who is my future wife? “
Midoriya let out a sigh while holding his forehead. Deku smiled and put one finger on his lips, replied exactly what he had said with Todoroki.
“The future can’t be revealed.”
Mineta still clanged to the thigh of the Midoriya future, screamed for an answer. But the moment he raised his head to face that person, Mineta immediately felt terror scream through his body, hurriedly stepped back.
Deku raised his head, his cold eyes glared everyone in front of him. Bakugou and Todoroki were both startled at the same time. Class 1A, besides Aizawa-sensei, for the first time kept quiet from a person’s gaze. The man in black suit smiled like nothing happened, said:
“Also… Please call me Deku.”
Midoriya thought his future would usually be called by his hero’s name, so it didn’t feel strange that the future himself insisted on calling himself “Deku” but never claiming himself by his real name.
After making too much noise, under Aizawa-sensei’s glare, the class 1A immediately rushed to practice. Aizawa had contacted the research and care center, they said that when the child could increase his capacity up to 300%, maybe he could open the gate at another time.
After finishing the call, Aizawa told Deku:
“Maybe we need to wait until the child regains his consciousness. We will find a way to bring you back.”
Deku, who was now nearly as tall as Aizawa-sensei, nodded and replied:
“Yes. It’s okay. Going back to the past… somehow makes me feel nostalgic… “
Aizawa-sensei thought for a moment and said:
“You are from the future, you would know how their abilities will develop, right? I know you don’t want to talk about the future because of the butterfly effect, that’s why I won’t ask about the League of Villains. However… Can you suggest some ways to develop their quirks? “
Deku raised his eyebrows, the tips of his fingers in his pockets trembled slightly, but he still smiled as before.
Todoroki stood on the other side, after making a tall pillar of ice with full of spiked ends like knives, he used the left half of himself to fire a red flame, partially melt the ice, the ice with full of spiked fell, the tip of the ice crashed to the ground. It is a trap-like move that requires a very high level of control over flames.
Deku’s eyes filled with surprise, he lightly touched the burned sleeves, muttered:
“Shoto uses fire?”
The smile that was always present on Deku’s lips briefly disappeared.
…
“Please… Are you Todoroki Shoto? You are Endeavor’s son, right? “
Shakily, I grabbed the notebook from my bag. This notebook had every heroes’s informations written in detail. I immediately pointed at his page. Todoroki Shoto, two quirks, half fire and half ice, he is the second winner in UA Sports Festival .
I grabbed the sleeve of his shirt, kneel down with my forehead on the cold snow.
“Please, I beg you. Use your fire power to warm my mother. Please, please. “
…
Midoriya’s hearing was inherently sensitive, Deku was standing nearby so he could hear clearly what Deku said. He replied:
“He can use fire quirk much better than before.”
Midoriya remembered that the future himself said he was under the influence of the space quirk, his memory was still chaotic. Midoriya recalled the scene when he told Todoroki at the UA Sports festival, the two of them had fought till they broke the stage, the moment he shouted to Todoroki: ”That’s your power!”. It was also when Shoto began to use his flames.
Deku’s dark green eyes lit up, he suddenly recalled an image from a long time ago.
“You bastard!!!!”
In the midst of an indeterminate sea of red and blue flames, the man with red and white hair was frantically emitted red flames, his arm was holding the dead body of a tall red-haired man. There were ruins around ten miles away, fire and blood were everywhere.
The side of his left eye was cut, the left half of his face was covered in blood. The blood color on his left face is exactly the same as his hair color.
“Oh? Wouldn’t the hero Todoroki Shoto never use fire? Why? Why now? “
“Shut up!”
“… Why are you only using flames until you want to kill people but not to save people, Shoto-kun?”
…
Used his black gloved hands to cover the face, Deku suddenly laughed, he laughed so much that his entire body trembled.
Midoriya blushed and scratched his head. Though he was a bit shy now when remembered that scence, but it was thanks to that so Todoroki could accept his quirk.
Swiped his face and took a deep breath, Deku controlled the howling madness inside his head, asked lightly:
“How about mom? Is she fine?”
Midoriya smiled and replied:
“Yes, mom is still very well. What about in the future? Is she living well? “
“… I’m sorry …”
“I love you … I love you, Izuku.”
Deku’s fingers touched the corners of his smiling mouth, his loose hair covered his eyes. Deku’s voice was so softly:
“She is living a good life. She is living in a very happy place. “
Midoriya widened his eyes. He did not understand…
Why was that person smiling but he still felt the sadness in that smile …
