Chapter 3

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 …
