When Endeavor reached the rank of Number 1 Hero, he imagined himself appearing on TV on a global scale... but he ended up being hugely disappointed.

It turns out that Endeavor isn't actually Japan's Number 1 Hero—at least not in the way you think. I mean, sure, he IS Number 1, but only for Shizuoka Prefecture.

Basically, there’s a Number 1 hero for each prefecture, alongside the title of "Symbol." Why? Because of global anti-monopoly laws for heroes; these laws prevent a single Number 1 from representing an entire nation, so there are multiple Number 1s. It’s also a great way to foster competition.

"Congrats, buddy!" shouts the hero Galactar Nova the hero of Tottori Prefecture, the "countryside hero," so to speak. He’s a good guy; in fact, alongside All Might, he maintains a 100% approval rating... though All Might is stuck at 99.99% because some guy on the internet named "NotAllForOne69" keeps disliking his posts.

Nova can fly and fire energy blasts.

"Hey, congrats too!" says Sherpa a hero from Aichi Prefecture whose heavy-machinery Quirk makes him basically THE BEST BUILDER—as he walks in carrying a cake.

Meanwhile, Endeavor is locked in the bathroom, sobbing because he thought he was going to be Global Number One... when in reality, the global system has worked this way for years.

And you know the worst part?

All Might TOLD HIM IN ADVANCE... Endeavor just didn't want to read a fucking email.

"Hey, what's up, Endeavor? Congratulations," says the hero known as Sanbo. He is Hokkaido's number one hero; his plant-based Quirk makes him the best park ranger around. He wears a cape made of leaves and wields a giant dowsing rod as a weapon—it allows him to redirect groundwater and use it to create water traps... He's not a hippie.

[EMAIL MESSAGE]

AllMightSmashSmashingProfessionalBusiness@hotmail.com (All Might made this Mail when he was a teenager he dosent want to pay 80 USDS to change it)

SUBJECT:

"Regarding the ranking."

Sent: 2 MONTHS AGO.

Status: Unread.

(Yeah. Endeavor DOESN'T KNOW how to use email.)

In fact, there is a global consensus on the anti-monopoly law; it’s a way to prevent monopolies and imbalances in less populated areas, avoiding the concentration of all heroism in a single country or a single figure—plus, it ensures the existence of more hero agencies.

Even All Might appeared in a photo regarding that law.

So, how did Endeavor not hear about it?

Do you have any idea how much time he spent training and traumatizing his own children? Anyone would forget.

Natsuo spends his time laughing at his father... all that pain, all that psychological torture, all of it... just so he could... be the damn number one hero of a single prefecture.

Dabi had it worse... I mean, he found out that... everything he suffered... was all for nothing. I mean, sure, he could take revenge on his father, but... well, he is the number one, but only of a single prefecture... He retired from being a villain and is currently married to an office worker, with four kids.

The worst part of all is that Galactar Nova, Sherpa, and Sanbo have INCREDIBLE origins: one is literally a space cop (Galactar), another is a laborer ROBOT built in the Soviet Union ages ago—though rebuilt and reprogrammed and the third is THE CHOSEN ONE OF THE GOD OF NATURE... yet none of them are arrogant; they’re just good people.

The worst part is that... EVERY COUNTRY has this law in effect; Star and Stripe, for example, is the number one pro hero, but only for New York.

Then there’s Nexium, a hero who is LITERALLY AN ALIEN wearing a silver-toned spacesuit with gray accents. His body is predominantly silver with dark gray sections except for his head, which looks human, featuring silver hair and yellow eyes.

"Oh, congratulations. I’m Kansai’s number one hero." Nexium smiles at Enji. Although Nexium can fly, fire energy blasts, and—well, possesses MANY OTHER ABILITIES he is, alongside Hawks, one of the most important heroes for aerial operations; he is responsible for ensuring that no airplanes meet with accidents.

Endeavor appeared before HPSC President Kazuma Godai to ask him to repeal the anti-monopoly law.

"You know... even North Korea enforces that law, right? No one has ever deactivated it." Godai said this while wearing only boxers and a tank top; he had been sleeping with his wife when Enji showed up and smashed down the door.

Izuku and Ochako make a great couple; they have three children. It’s not that they’re getting a divorce or anything like that—they love each other deeply and are very affectionate—but they do experience the occasional marital tension; work stress and other factors sometimes cause friction, though they certainly aren't splitting up.

One day, Izuku was out with Shoto, Kirishima, Sero, and Mineta. They were wandering the streets when they spotted one of those fortune-telling machines—the kind where you insert a coin and it gives you a reading. Believe it or not, this pre-Quirk era device, found in a museum, actually holds some historical value.

Out of sheer curiosity, Izuku decided to see what this was all about—and how such an ancient device could generate so much money—but he also decided to make a wish on the machine.

"Lately, I’ve been having a rough time with my eldest son, Sora... and I’d like to understand him. I’d like to be sixteen again—even if just for a year." Izuku... really shouldn't have made that wish... or well, maybe he should have, but he shouldn't have said "even if just for a year."

The next day... Izuku was back in his prime at sixteen, complete with One For All.

Unfortunately for Sora... he was going to have his dad as a classmate in Class 1-A.

"I know it's you, Dad," Sora said while at the music club, his band playing "Lost in the Supermarket" by The Clash.

"Not at all! I'm, uh... Izuku Midoriya's, um... distant cousin! Like Shoto's cousins ​​in Argentina!" Izuku said, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"Izuku... it's you. You really ought to stop putting on such an act," Aizawa said, annoyed... he still works at U.A. to this day.

In class, Izuku listened to Sora talking with his group... Sora had always been a bit different: pale skin and crimson hair (inherited from Ochako's grandfather), plus a pyrokinesis Quirk.

"Hey, Sora! PLUS ULTRA!" Izuku said, repeating the signature catchphrase, as Sora sighed.

"Dad... nobody has said 'Plus Ultra' in years... I think the new trend is shouting 'SHINE!' like Dynamight." Sora said while sketching.

"Oh... I didn't know that," Izuku sighed.

"Why the hell do I feel like I'm in that Matthew Perry movie?" Sora said, looking up at the ceiling as he went back to drawing.

Ochako comically tries to take the situation seriously as she watches her husband attempt to fit in with modern society.

"Please, Aizawayou know I'm a teacher here too," Izuku said, sweating as he stared at the math assignment.

"No, you're doing it anyway," Aizawa said, annoyed. After so many years at U.A.—and still working there today, why is he the one doing this? Because he is the most trusted person around, and because he’s the only one who can keep Class 1-A in line.

Kirishima, Mineta, and Kaminari use Izuku as a ticket for free hamburgers... since there was a promotion: "Bring your kid and get a free hamburger."

To present the GLOBAL SPORTS FESTIVAL! Nezu and the directors of the other hero academies decided to create a commercial with music to showcase their star students.

It was a SUPER easy idea to execute! But... well, let's just say it went wrong.

The commercial featured the most outstanding students striking poses while their names, interests, hometowns, countries, and more appeared in the background.

The problem? Aizawa decided to "motivate" Izuku and Bakugou and spent... THE WHOLE MONTH telling them:

"If you mess up, I swear, I SWEAR, I'll expel you. Seriously, don't ruin the FIRST sports festival!" Aizawa said angrily.

They were both anxious ALL MONTH until the day of the announcement. Aizawa's tone was SERIOUS ENOUGH for them to know that if they messed up in the slightest... goodbye U.A. and GOODBYE DREAM OF BEING A HERO

Nezu and the others had spent billions of dollars bringing in a well-known singer to promote the event.

"VAMOS! KITE! LETS GO! KUAI DIAN!" The singer was performing as a boy with orange hair and a fire quirk appeared, flying in a straight line while a sign displayed:

NAME: DAMIAN VANDOR!

LIKES: THEATER, SWEETS.

FROM: ENTRE RIOS!

COUNTRY: ARGENTINA!

and an image of him smiling and raising his fist as the flag appeared.

Suddenly, a boy with black hair and white eyes appeared, jumping and creating a small tremor as his information appeared: he was Maximo Ferrari from Italy, a blind young man with a lava and earth quirk. Also appearing was the star student from Singapore, whose quirk allows him to move by dividing his body into small cubes.

While everything was going smoothly... Izuku and Bakugou hadn't eaten or slept, basically. When it was their turn, Bakugou collapsed unconscious and Izuku vomited water on the floor.

They had obviously been taken to the emergency room and given something to eat. Meanwhile, Nezu noticed the commercial was 95% finished; only Izuku and Bakugou's participation was missing.

"Hmm, that's strange. What could have happened to them?" Nezu said as Aizawa, who was standing next to him, let out a loud sneeze.

"Bless you, young man," said Maximo Ferrari's caretaker, since despite being the star of Italy, he needed special care due to his blindness.

In the end, the commercial was made, but Izuku and Bakugou's part was animated using AI and stunt doubles, an AI-generated song, and a PowerPoint presentation... In defense of the teachers... there wasn't enough time to make the commercial, so they went for the most basic approach possible.

"My last name isn't "MiRodilla." is MIDORIYA." Izuku tried to explain because he didn't understand the joke because.

Rodilla = Knee on spanish.

MiRodilla= Myknee

Basically, they hadn't heard the last name properly and misunderstood it.

All Might tried to see the positive side of the commercial.

"Uh... it's well filmed... uh, the kids from other countries, like the kid from Singapore and the girl from China, have interesting quirks! Uh, you... uh... Izuku's part was good." All Might smiled, trying not to mess things up.

Bakugou, on the other hand, didn't have it easy either... they used a 30-year-old guy with a badly placed wig... plus, he didn't even have Bakugou's personality, and when he imitated Bakugou's explosions, watermark images and copyright-free jazz music appeared.

Meanwhile...

"Uh... is this avant-garde art or something?" Damian looked at the ad while All Might stood beside him.

"Uh... to be honest... I have no freaking idea." All Might said while trying to interpret the AI-generated parts that didn't make sense... why does Izuku have six fingers? Why does it look hyper-realistic?

This AU takes place after Shigaraki's defeat but BEFORE Izuku sees Uraraka again (I'd say it's in the 7th year of the time skip but before the 8th year).

Peaceful times are always good for everyone and for resting... but something or someone always comes back to bite you. It already happened to Endeavor with Toya... and now it's Hawks' turn.

One of the military barracks, formerly abandoned but recently reopened, which in the past was used as a "Home" for the children the HPSC used as child soldiers or assassins, as happened with Hawks and Nagant, was being repurposed.

But a group of child soldiers formerly used by the HPSC and operating there saw Hawks as a hypocrite... he could have retired with honors... but... PRESIDENT OF THE HPSC? No, no, no, no, NOT AT ALL.

An armed uprising takes place between child soldiers and radicalized military personnel who wanted to send former members of the paranormal liberation front, such as Spinner and Compress, to the death penalty, as they considered them terrorists.

"Come on, Takami, what will you choose? Will you step aside or keep your mask on?" one of the young people said in a video call. It had been an attempt at "pacification," but it was only generating more tension.

To make matters worse for Hawks... it's election season.

"This is the first demonstration that Keigo Takami's current presidency is... a disaster. We can't be here debating while a group of 16- to 20-year-olds are carrying out an armed uprising," said one of the candidates, who was taking advantage of the situation to win the election.

To make matters worse, these young people have MORE information about Hawks, which is causing him to lose power as president of the HPSC.

"Even though I'm against Sakamoto, he's right... What if Mr. Takami, during his first 100 days as president of the HPSC, hid more of these child soldiers? We already know that Hawks KILLED people and was an HPSC assassin, as happened with the Nagant case, and we already experienced a fragile peace with the fall of All Might," said Yoko Satsuma, one of the candidates for prime minister.

The uprising hasn't ended because Hawks himself ordered the pro heroes NOT to resort to violence while he thinks of a strategy to resolve the situation.

Izuku decided to visit the uprising not to stop it, but to... meet these young people. Since he had faced Nagant, he wanted to know if these young people were like her.

"Come in," said a young man wearing a gas mask and a military-green suit. This young man was born with a heteromorphic quirk that turned him into a living cloud of smoke.

Izuku walked to the main office where a young man with long blond hair was watching him, his legs propped up on a table.

"Izuku Midoriya! Ha, I thought you weren't coming. I'm really glad to meet you in person," said the young man as he stood up.

"I'm not here to fight," Izuku said, knowing that if he tried even the slightest thing... he would be killed. He didn't know about this boy's quirk; it would be basically suicidal to try anything.

"Would you like something to eat or drink? We have all the time in the world," said the young man as he walked toward a coffee machine.

"A coffee... if it's not too much trouble." Izuku smiled as he noticed that... these guys really weren't evil. The hostages, who were military personnel who hadn't supported the idea, were being treated well and had no injuries or anything.

"Heh... I feel like I'm standing in front of my idol. Sorry, it's just that meeting you is truly an experience. The guy who defeated Tomura Shigaraki and All For One... I would have liked to meet you during that war, but the HPSC forced us to stay right here. You could say this place has a lot of history," the young man said as he offered Izuku a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.

"What do you want?" Izuku said, taking a sip of coffee... it was good... much better than the one from the U.A. machine.

"We want an amnesty agreement and for us to be given NORMAL lives, or at least not to be treated like ghosts... you know what it's like to walk the streets and feel like you don't exist? It's awful." the blond-haired young man said, taking a sip of his coffee.

"And what about removing Hawks?" Izuku said, looking at him as the young man simply stared at the ceiling.

"That the same guy who trained us, telling us that we have to kill and that a good villain is a dead villain six feet under, is now going around saying 'yes to peace' and all that nonsense. He's just a hypocrite, that's all he is, a hypocrite. Suddenly he knows the difference between good and evil? Why didn't he try anything before? You see what I mean?" the young man said bluntly.

The Global Sports Festival has begun.

Academies from all over the world are attending, from Argentina, Italy, and beyond!

And this time, the host country is Japan, with U.A. High School, because they have better facilities, dormitories for international academies, and generally provide good treatment.

Nezu decided to motivate his students from all of U.A. to prepare to "defend U.A." Basically, to do well and show that the students of the host school are capable... uh, the result? Completely different.

Almost all of Class 1-A got their asses kicked by the international students... the poor kids didn't even make it past the first round, which was the academies from Argentina.

Bakugou? He got his ass kicked by Damian Vandor, Shoto's distant cousin from the heroic Silver Sun Military Academy (Spanish), from Argentina.

Nezu is watching as everyone in Class 1-A was defeated so quickly they were literally eliminated in the first round... which thankfully wasn't an elimination round, but a demonstration round.

Izuku was the only one who didn't get beaten up.

"I wonder why they all performed so poorly," Nezu muses, looking at Aizawa, who's trying not to look at him... maybe that method of threatening expulsion wasn't so effective.

How come Izuku was the only one who didn't get beaten up? Well, he gets along well with the students from Argentina and other academies.

"No, seriously, Aizawa, how could Class 1-A have been disqualified from the friendlies? I mean, they're not even qualifiers, it's practically impossible to disqualify them," Nezu said, sipping his coffee while pondering the million-dollar question.

"Uh... good question." Aizawa said, nervously staring at the ceiling, trying NOT to remember what "motivation method" he used.

FLASHBACK.

"If you lose... I'll expel you, and this time I mean it." Aizawa said, looking at all of Class 1-A.

"Pffft, you're a dog, teacher. You bark but you don't bite." Sero said jokingly, believing he wouldn't get expelled.

"Expelled. Out." Aizawa said as Sero turned pale.

"Hehehe, good joke, teacher." Mineta said, looking at Aizawa.

"You too. OUT." Aizawa said, looking at Mineta.

" "Hey guys, I got lost along with Sato. What happened?" Ojiro said, arriving late.

"YOU'RE EXPELLED TOO." Aizawa said angrily.

expell four students in record time... maybe it wasn't THAT motivational a method after all...

"Yeah, I don't even know why they lost so quickly. I mean, Kaminari started crying so hard that a teacher from Germany had to hug him... and Iida's blood pressure dropped mid-race, allowing the US team to win." Present Mic says, looking at Nezu and Aizawa.

"Um... yeah, what could have made them lose so quickly? Um, maybe the other academies have different training methods. Um, that could be it." Aizawa says, embarrassed.

"Hmm, possibly a good theory!" Nezu smiles as Aizawa sighs

The teacher who helped Kaminari is named PanzerHerz. She teaches at one of the academies in Germany. She has a Quirk that makes her a kind of steel woman with tank-like weapons. She has a degree in child psychology, was a kindergarten teacher, and also works at an elementary school. She gave Kaminari an internship at her academy

How Izuku didn't lose:

Izuku got lost and accidentally wandered into the Argentinian delegation and stayed there.

"Wait, are you all Shoto's cousins?" Izuku said while eating a piece of roast beef that had been offered to him.

"Yeah, actually, it's me, Damian, Simon, Facundo, Alvaro, Alfonso, Julio... actually, our uncle Enji has a lot of sisters," said Nicolas, one of Shoto's cousins.

"And what about Uncle Enji?" Damian says, interrupting the conversation, dressed casually.

"Uh, he's still being... intense about Shoto," Izuku says as he's offered a biscuit.

"Oh yeah, he was always kind of unbearable with that 'family duty!' stuff and all that crap," Damian says, taking a sip of mate.

"Edu! Seba! Bring more biscuits!" Damian shouts to his... other cousins.

"Wait, there are THAT many of them?" Izuku looks at Damian.

"Uh, basically, the whole branch of the family settled in Argentina and left Enji alone in Japan, that's why you never heard THAT many about other Todorokis," Damian says, crossing his arms.

Shiketsu is NOT a normal hero academy... well, it is, but it's different. Unlike U.A., Shiketsu is PURELY AND EXCLUSIVELY run by the military, who (obviously) seek to create child soldiers for future armed conflicts. They even buy 4 or 5-year-old orphans, raise them, and turn them into child soldiers.

There are quirks ranging from lethal to those that would be USELESS at U.A. but could be used for purposes like maintenance, etc.

The teachers at Shiketsu are ALL CAREER MILITARY OFFICERS.

The real problem is that Inasa, Seiji, Camie, and Nagamasa... joined for reasons you know... stupid.

Inasa joined because "Endeavor was never here, so I'm joining."

Seiji, even though he was told it was a military school, didn't want to take no for an answer and ended up joining anyway.

Camie joined because she thought it was a "cool" place.

Nagamasa... well, he asked to go to the bathroom and ended up joining.

Camie realizes at the last minute.

"WAIT, ALL THIS TIME THEY WERE MAKING CHILD SOLDIERS?" Camie shouts as the person who should be her teacher is actually a high-ranking lieutenant general in the army.

"Uh... We've been telling you this all along, haven't we, Haris?" The lieutenant looks at a gray-skinned boy with white hair, an orphan from Bosnia whose quirk allows him to transform parts of his body into HEAVY ARTILLERY and can create a helicopter rotor on his back to fly.

"You said it many times, sir." Haris says as Camie remembers that... YES, they had told her... BUT she was distracted or misheard.

Remembering... all those misunderstandings.

"We're in the army, Camie," Haris says, staring into space while waiting for a school bus.

"Pffft, it's not stormy, silly." Camie says distractedly because she was listening to music.

Or the other time.

"Camie... WE'RE in the army." Haris says, eating from a can of beans she found in the cafeteria.

"Huh? No, I'm not in a K-Pop ARMY." Camie says distractedly, looking at her phone and liking a funny cat picture.

Shiketsu goes to the HPSC training sessions and all that, but only so that other governments don't suspect that... well, child soldiers.

Inasa is friends with two kids named Ryuga and Kaede.

Ryuga has a quirk that allows him to literally generate knives from his body.

Kaede's fingers are flamethrowers. She gets along well with Inasa; in fact, they're always seen together.

"Alright students, for today's test we're going to... interrogate a journalist who tried to sneak in," the teacher says, looking at his class. Most of them just nod.

"TEACHER! DOES THIS COUNT ON THE EXAM?" Inasa shouts from afar.

"Yes, whoever gets him to talk will receive extra credit. Inasa, thanks for asking." The teacher smiles... It's funny that most of the soldiers here... well, they're better teachers than Aizawa.

Omnipress, the Nikaido family's café, wasn't always busy... it was just that it didn't have regular customers.

"RIKU!" Izuku entered, greeting the young barista, who smiled, his yellow eyes meeting Izuku's green ones.

"What do you need, Izuku?" Riku smiled from behind the counter. It was always typical to see Izuku with Ochako or Shoto.

"Aizawa is giving us an exam this week. I wanted to ask if we could use part of the café to study." Izuku smiled sheepishly. He really didn't want to, but his apartment was very small, Ochako's house was under renovation, and the Iida mansion was very far away.

"Hmm, that wouldn't be a problem. We're always open." Riku said calmly, looking at Izuku. There really wasn't a real problem... unfortunately for Riku... something was about to happen.

Later, Izuku, Shoto, Ochako, and Tsuyu, along with Iida, arrived at Omnipress.

"Wow, what a great design! It's a mix of European and American styles; it has a nice touch," Tenya said as he entered, and Riku froze in place.

Riku hit the cash register hard, luckily no blood came out

...

I'll be on my best behavior
Taking shots for mother nature
...

Once my fist is in the cupboard
Love is never falling over

THE GRANDSON OF THE PIECE OF SHIT WHO RUINED HIS GRANDFATHER... HE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. HE COULD GRAB A KNIFE, LUNGE AT HIM, AND SLASH HIS THROAT... unfortunately, it was easier said than done.

He was going to serve them, but his mother, Shinobu Nikaido, served them first.

"What do you need?" Shinobu said coldly, holding red paint in her hands that could easily be mistaken for blood she was painting a letter saying "Open 24 hours."

"Uh, well, I wanted a regular coffee." Iida scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably, trying not to look Shinobu in the eyes, even though he didn't know her. It seemed like she hated him.

"Sure." Shinobu walked away, glancing at Riku, who simply nodded.

It was going to be a complicated night.

While they were studying, Izuku was talking to Ochako, and Tsuyu was talking to Shinobu, since Tsuyu had asked her for some food recipes.

"Mrs. Nikaido, you really outdid yourself! The coffee is delicious." Tsuyu smiled, while Mrs. Nikaido, not in her usual calm demeanor, was putting on an act, occasionally glancing at Tenya out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, enjoy yourselves. Let me know when you're done studying; it's already 6 AM." Shinobu smiled but glanced sideways at Iida.

"Enjoy it while it lasts... everything requires patience." Shinobu said as she walked away.

Kagoshima Prefectural Hospital

A young man with white hair, wearing a brown sweater, a tan coat, blue jeans, and brown shoes, enters an intensive care unit to see his grandfather, Kaito Nikaido.

The path was the same as always, silent.

No one would say, "Your grandfather was a hero." It was always that dead silence, broken only by the buzzing of a fly.

Meanwhile

Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital

Tenya Iida was going to visit his grandfather, Terenosuke Iida, who was currently bedridden awaiting treatment.

The path was the same as always. Congratulations to the Iida family for never abandoning heroism.

But the question was always the same.

"What will become of me when you leave?" A question that can always be controversial.

"For you, Riku... all that will remain is hatred for those liars... CRUSH THEM, DESTROY THEM, TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THEM... don't trust anyone, sooner or later they'll screw you over," those were Kaito Nikaido's words.

"Everything will be for you, Tenya. A good career in heroism, put Ingenium's name at the top, and above all, enjoy your friends; sometimes you don't know when they'll be gone." Those were Terenosuke Iida's words.

They both left after a conversation of exactly 30 minutes.

One left for U.A. to continue his career in heroism.

The other went to work at OmniPress, his family's cafe.

Only one of them knew the story of what was really happening.

Kaito Nikaido and Terenosuke Iida were friends, a heroic duo in the past, but back then, heroism wasn't a job, nor was it about being a celebrity.

They were the best, and they were the best of friends. They'd known each other since childhood, but everything took a turn for the worse.

One day, they confronted a radical cell of the Chikara Yotsubashi Liberation Army, and one of them threw a grenade toward a kindergarten. He sacrificed himself; half his face and a large part of his body were destroyed. He was left with just a torso and a sliver of his head.

Terenosuke fled that day, leaving Kaito in a hospital. He never knew why he did it; he just ran, so far away from responsibility... They were just two young men in their twenties.

One saw a path to fame and fortune, which he shared with his family.

The other saw a path of hatred and resentment, which he also shared with his family.

"Hey! We were just passing by and noticed this cafe is open?" Izuku Midoriya, along with Ochako and Shoto, looked at Riku Nikaido, who was wearing a barista apron.

"It's open 24 hours. Come on, follow me and I'll show you what we have to choose from." Riku smiled at Izuku as the group sat down. Riku took out a notepad.

"What would you like to order?" Riku asked, smiling, his yellow eyes meeting Izuku's green ones.

"Ochako wants a caramel latte, Shoto wants a... regular coffee without sugar, and I'd like a regular coffee." Izuku smiled at Riku, who was using his portal quirk, which allowed him to create portals as long as he knew the coordinates.

"Mom! I'll pass the order." Riku handed the notepad to his mother, a woman with an eye patch who had been a police officer in the past.

I'm trying hard
Not to be ashamed
Not to know the name
Of who is waking up beside me
Or the date, the season or the city
But at least the ceiling's very pretty
And if you are holding it against me

Note: this is a female monoma AU

Takumi Murakami, a student in Mustafa High School in Osaka, is classmates with Neiko Monoma, the school's queen. Although she's the type of girl who, despite being surrounded by friends, doesn't really have any.

Takumi is from the Dash Max lineage; his great-grandmother held the mantle, as did his grandmother and mother, and he was supposed to inherit it... emphasis on "supposed to"... because it NEVER happened because he sacrificed his hero career to save one person.

Despite not getting along with Neiko because of her and attitude, Takumi still cared about her. In reality, Takumi has never held a grudge against anyone.

Although Mustafa High School marketed itself as a school for rich and middle-class kids, it was the kind of school that would do anything to save money, like giving students paint instead of milk.

And that's what happened with the upper floors; they were made of super cheap materials to keep selling the idea of ​​a model school. One day, Monoma, who was on one of those floors under construction, was talking with his so-called friends when Neiko accidentally fell. The only one who used his Quirk OR DID ANYTHING to save her was Takumi.

His Quirk allows him to fly at high speeds, and as Neiko was falling, he used his Quirk to its full potential to save her. It didn't matter if Neiko was the queen of the school, or if it was a bully, or a teacher, or anyone else; he was going to help. After all, his maternal family has been rescue heroes.

The wound Takumi suffered to break Neiko's fall and prevent her death was... how much less destructive. He lost his arms, a leg, and was blinded in one eye. Instead of being moved, the agencies simply moved him around and replaced him with another piece.

In this universe, Pony was offered the chance to return to the USA to a better academy after the festival, and she accepted. While the replacement candidates were being considered, Takumi was with Shinso; they both dedicated themselves to music.

"I dropped out of being a candidate for Class 1-B, I prefer to stay on 1-C" Takumi said, smiling as Shinso dropped his soda can.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT, TAKUN? THANKS TO HATSUME, AT LEAST YOU CAN USE YOUR QUIRK!" Shinso yelled, putting his arms around his friend's shoulders. He had been there when ALL the agencies had abandoned Takumi after he'd been left in pieces saving Neiko.

"Instead, I recommended you. You deserve the seat more than I do." Takumi smiled as he looked at Shinso.

"Go for it, tiger." Takumi smiled, looking at Shinso, who had tears in his eyes. Takumi preferred to sacrifice a brilliant career in heroism so that Shinso could shine on his own.

In this universe, Takumi's mother, Hiroko, is the number 11 hero, and Hawks is her apprentice. He also lives with Takumi's family he is mostly a older brother figure.

Takumi's father, Tamaru, isn't a hero; in fact, he's a somewhat overweight man who teaches physical education and American football. However, thanks to him, Takumi is who he is, since his father has always been there for him.

Takumi comes from a family with many siblings, both older and younger.

"Haha... yeah, sorry for not saying it. It's just that all my siblings came in boxes of two, except for me." Takumi laughs after Neiko sees a picture of him with his... 25 siblings.

Takumi and Neiko are a couple after what happened, although Neiko is the type of girlfriend who is... extremely protective of Takumi, like the time Neiko complained that Lunch Rush served the food VERY hot because Takumi had burned his tongue.

Note: This is part of an AU that's connected, so I'll be rewriting some prompts.

Hint: Two coins and a train passionately kiss in a cafe.

In this universe, in Aldera, Bakugou had his own sidekick, although he was more of a Yes-Man: Satoshi Kato, who had a rather unique quirk: he could generate energy shields and possessed decent-level telekinesis—a combination of his parents' quirks.

Satoshi is extremely quiet; he's the type of person who speaks very rarely. Seriously, he has socialization problems since his parents and siblings are pro heroes and don't see each other much.

Satoshi has gray hair and blue-framed glasses; he always carries notebooks.

He became friends with Bakugou due to social mutualism. One would do the homework for the other, and the other would protect the other from the bully, so it was a win-win situation.

Satoshi replaces Sato in class in this universe; he's Bakugou's number one sidekick... number two is Kirishima.

"YOU'RE PATHETIC, SATOSHI! SAY SOMETHING!" Bakugou yells at Satoshi, who nods.

"Yeah, pathetic." He says, adjusting his glasses as Bakugou smiles.

Satoshi is the class president, his vice president is Momo... and they get along relatively well, even though Satoshi is monosyllabic and the longest answer you'll get is something over four words. If it's over ten, the world will probably explode.

"Hahaha, couldn't Bakugou come?" Monoma shouts in Satoshi's ear, who is reading a notebook. There's probably an exam tomorrow, so... better this way.

"He can't come, he's injured." Satoshi says, reading, while Itsuka looks at Momo. After the sports festival, Monoma was injured and has a cast on his foot.

"And why isn't the shower version here, huh?" Monoma yells to annoy him... there's always been this weird rumor that Satoshi is Bakugou's romantic partner... well, it's not weird, they're always together except in the bathrooms, that would be weird.

Satoshi simply grabs Monoma's knee, who's distracted, and lifts it slightly, causing him to fall onto the table.

The most manly scream in all of U.A. was heard. (Obviously sarcasm.)

All For One was transferred to another cell in Tartarus... unfortunately for him, he's next to... Black Serpent, a racist leader of an ancient faction that murdered Heteromorphs and anyone who looked like a mutant.

"Uh... uh, hello." All For One said, looking at Black Serpent. This guy is only 70 years old... he was most old villain ALIVE sent to Tartarus. He's called Black Serpent because he wore armor he created himself; after all, he used to be an inventor.

"You look like a Heteromorph. Where are your eyes?... Are you playing a fucking joke on me?" Black Serpent said while just staring at AFO.

"Uh, no, uh, let me explain that-" AFO was interrupted by Black Serpent, who was holding a very, VERY sharp spoon handle.

"I was accused of killing many like you... filthy, shitty Heteromorphs. My last partner was a Heteromorph... just hearing about it MADE ME CRAZY." Black Serpent says, bringing the sharpened handle closer to AFO:

"GUARDS! GUARDS!" AFO screams in fear. He had done many things... but this guy WAS mentally ill... he bombed a hospital, set fire to an orphanage, assassinated a politician in the street, planted bombs on trains, he was a full-fledged terrorist.

"THOSE LIKE YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY! YOU'RE GOING TO YELL AT ME ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS? HUH? YOU FUCKING HETEROMORPHOUS PIECE OF SHIT!" Black Serpent yells.

All For One has such... TERRIBLE luck

"GET ME OUT OF HERE PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD." AFO screams as Black Serpent licks his face.

"Fucking heteromorphs like you disgust me." Black Serpent says as he walks away.

The guards of Tartarus... they don't even believe what's happening to AFO; they think it's "mind tricks."

"I WAS THE KING OF EVIL, YOU DAMN RACIST CONSERVATIVE!" AFO screams as Black Serpent stares at him, reading the Bible.

"THAT'S WHAT THOSE FUCKING HETEROMORPHS ALWAYS SAY! STAY ON YOUR SIDE!" Black Serpent points to the side of the cell.

Black Serpent is Mezo Soji's grandfather.

Author's Note: This universe is a love letter to Japanese SHOWA era such as Godzilla, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Supaidaman, Super Sentai... don't look for too much logic, just sit back and enjoy.

This universe, Toshinori Yagi is nicknamed "The Miracle Man." An expert in all sports, a genius with an above-average IQ, and a champion in many martial arts, he was tricked by General Von Crisis, a member of the evil organization All For One.

All For One is an organization in this universe, and it's also a mantle. The current All For One is Zen Shigaraki, Toshinori's rival, who, feeling jealous of his best friend, decided to join the ranks of this evil organization.

Toshinori acquires the powers of One For All, superpowers given to him by an elderly Nana Shimura, an alien kidnapped by the evil organization.

Toshinori manages to escape along with Enji Todoroki, a man known as "The Master of the Fire Fist!" a man with a martial art passed down through generations, capable of using fire.

The evil General Von Crisis would send his assassin, a Hawkarian assassin from the planet Hawkariana. In this universe, Hawkariana is an alien assassin who was forced into the role as a child when the All For One organization attacked his planet, but thanks to Enji Todoroki, he switched sides.

Best Jeanist, in this universe, is a journalist who was kidnapped by the All For One organization to become a cyborg capable of transforming into cables for espionage. He would be defeated by Toshinori, who already bears the mantle of All Might.

All Might would face Mecha Might, an alien brought by the aliens of the Black Hole organization, whom he defeated alongside Ryukyu, the guardian of Earth.

Gran Torino is friends with the hero "Jack of Spades," a white-clad hero who uses playing cards to fight. These two start out as enemies of All Might but join forces to face the evil Prince of Darkness! Zen Shigaraki (the original All For One from the canon).

Gang Orca, in this universe, was a normal human but fused with the Orca deity to fight against the evil All For One organization after they destroyed his home village.

Everyone thinks Endeavor doesn't have a nemesis... but in reality... he does, and there are MANY of them.

The Black Hand is one such group; it's a clan of ninja assassins who hate him. They once chained him to a rocket.

"That'll teach you not to mess with the Black Hand!" a ninja said as he fired the rocket toward random coordinates.

The Dragon Syndicate is another, a syndicate that sells temporary quirk enhancers, weapons, drugs, and more. These guys really hate Endeavor.

There's also the Serpent Corps, a group of the social elite who wear snake masks and employ soldiers who are like anthropomorphic snakes. They also hate Endeavor.

Endeavor appears with pieces of katana stuck in his back.

"Ah, Enji!... Did you get a new haircut?" All Might asks, in a very innocent and naive way.

Even Dabi doesn't know that his father is actually hated by... many villains, like "The Dragon."

The Dragon is Ryukyu's nemesis and can also transform into a dragon, but a Chinese dragon capable of shooting fire.

There's also Samson; his quirk is like the biblical character's, and he can transform into stone.

"Do you think Endeavor was kidnapped?" All Might says, sipping tea and eating a muffin.

"Nah, he's probably stuck in traffic, or I don't know. You have All For One THE SYMBOL OF EVIL... Endeavor doesn't have a nemesis. He's probably doing something boring, and that's why he hasn't arrived." Best Jeanist says while eating an almond dessert.

Meanwhile, on the moon:

"HOLY SHIT, THE DRAGON LEFT ME ON THE MOON." Endeavor screams while wearing pajamas and a space helmet, holding a note that reads "Stop being SO irritating, with love, the dragon."

Why does Dragon Syndicate hate Endeavor? Well, one day Endeavor accidentally set fire to the boss's favorite shawarma stand.

The Black Hand hates him because one day Endeavor yelled "SHOTOOOOOOOO!!!" at the top of his lungs and ruined their meditation.

"CHIII! WHOOO! HAN!" yells an assassin from the Black Hand, using an assassination technique that removes Endeavor's heart... literally speaking, he has it in the palm of his hand. He temporarily killed Endeavor.

"Can you teach me that?" Toya and Shoto say at the same time.

"We give classes on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays!" yells the assassin, putting Endeavor's heart back in its place as he walks away to help a granny to pass the street.

There's also the Scorpion Army, another group of ancient assassins who worship a scorpion god.

"Why were you late for movie night?" Hawks asks, eating a slice of pizza.

"The Scorpion Army destroyed my Uber," Endeavor says, dizzy. He'd been stabbed with a poisoned sword.

"Oh yeah, there's a plague of scorpions. I got stung last week," Hawks says, eating his pizza with his mouth full. He'd heard something else.

Endeavor collapses... it's only Monday.

All Might in this universe was raised in the countryside, meaning he didn't go to elementary, middle, or high school, or even kindergarten. His parents taught him everything at home.

When he went to the United States thanks to Gran Torino, he met Sander Asimov, the great-great-great-grandson of Isaac Asimov himself, also known as the Advanced Hero: Superior Vortex (SV).

Sander and All Might became friends very quickly, basically becoming inseparable, because one was intelligent (with the occasional delusion of grandeur) and the other was a guy who hits hard and who, to this day, doesn't know that 1+1 equals 2 and not 11.

Sander lost one arm and one leg in the fight against AFO... nothing kills Sander because, according to him, he's a fucking cockroach. HE DOESN'T DIE, HE ADAPTS! (And because he has a huge fortune and created prosthetics that he would later sell because PRAISE CAPITALISM!)

Sander and All Might had a fight and haven't spoken in a while... the reason? All Might and a wall... and it's symbolic, not a metaphor or anything like that.

"Okay, I'm ready. What did you want me to do?" Sander says, looking at All Might staring at a wall.

"Uh... you could, you know... rivet the wall." All Might says, pointing at the wall.

"What?" Sander says, looking at the wall... it's made of cement... so he wouldn't need a rivet... why would he rivet it?

"Rivet the wall, I mean, you're a super genius." All Might says foolishly, in a VERY, VERY naive way.

"You're kidding me now, aren't you? That wall doesn't need to be riveted because you only rivet metal... DON'T TALK NONSENSE, YOU IDIOT," Sander tries to explain... he's always had a short fuse, as he walks away.

"Uh, sorry, you know, we all make mistakes, right?" All Might says, trying to apologize.

"HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO RIVET A CONCRETE WALL, MORON?" Sander says, kicking a piece of rubble that ends up breaking... another wall.

"It's incredible how annoying I can be sometimes... I hope he doesn't take it personally... and I hope something like this never happens to me with Nighteye." All Might says... and oh, what awaits him.

The teachers of Class 1-A, except for Present Mic and Aizawa, are former classmates of these two.

Actually, Aizawa's generation ended in a... let's just say very depressing way... seriously, very depressing. It was a combination of factors: the death of Shirakumo and the death of Seiji Tenma, the aspiring hero known as Adapter, who had a Quirk that allowed him to adapt to any situation, but who died suddenly in his sleep. That hit Aizawa's classmates very hard.

In literature class, the twins Ryuta and Ryoga Kanaya teach.

Ryuta has a quirk that allows him to generate metal threads capable of turning his enemy into a puppet against their will, and Ryota can read minds just by touching someone's head.

These are... unique individuals. They were friends of Oboro but since Hooth High School. They're cold and distant and extremely sarcastic, but they genuinely care about Class 1-A. They didn't do very well as heroes because they were too dependent on each other, which made it difficult for them to join agencies.

In math, there's Tomoko Tsumori, Seiji's ex-girlfriend. She was the Queen Bee of U.A. because of her quirk, which allowed her to control magnetic fields to move, shape, and deform metal at will. After what happened with Seiji, she went from being the queen to becoming the opposite. Currently, she's a rather chubby, friendly teacher who cares for her class in the most maternal way possible. She distanced herself from heroism due to the depression she suffered from Seiji's death.

Midnight and Kazumin Kasen teach the art classes. Kazumin's quirk is called "Sensor." She... well, she can tell how many people are in a room or place just by touching the floor.

Kazumin left heroism partly because she wanted to. After what happened with Oboro, she went through a lot and transitioned. Currently, she teaches art.

"Aaaaaw, it's beautiful!!!" Kazumin says, looking at an exaggerated painting Kirishima made of Bakugou posing like Michelangelo's David.

"It only took me two hours and using all my imagination!" Kirishima says while Bakugou looks... eh, it's a pretty painting... HOW THE HELL DID IT ONLY TAKE TWO HOURS? GOD, THAT SHOULD TAKE ANYONE YEARS. BESIDES, KIRISHIMA DIDN'T TAKE ANY ART COURSES.

Daigo Toshima teaches the sport... Daigo was Seiji's rival, his nemesis... After Seiji died, Daigo let himself go and went from being excessively muscular... to the complete opposite.

Daigo is a huge fan of Izuku; in fact, one day he embroidered a chibi Izuku on his leather jacket.

"What? He gave me reasons to live!" Daigo says, while on his jacket there's a drawing of an extremely realistic Grim Reaper... and next to it, Izuku smiling and giving a thumbs up with the phrase "You can do it."

After his depression, Daigo's quirk atrophied considerably, going from shooting fire to... just warming his hands... but don't mess with him when they're playing dodgeball (Mineta learned this the hard way; his face was literally paralyzed in winter).

The Kanaya twins didn't take it well when they found out Aizawa was threatening to expel the class.

"Wait... you like listening to Britney Spears on your way to work?" Ryota said, raising an eyebrow at Aizawa.

"It was... just a phase." Aizawa said, blushing like a tomato... What? He really likes that song.

The computer science teacher is Takumi Terui, or as they jokingly call him, TaTe... Of all his classmates, he ended up in pretty bad shape. He and several others were sent to investigate Hasaikai, and Overhaul left him with nothing but a brain in a jar. Currently, Takumi survives as a neural robot.

"For the love of 0s and 1s, IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO MAKE A POWERPOINT!" Takumi shouts, looking at Kaminari and Mineta.

Nedzu sought them out and hired them to work in Class 1-A. First, they were former students who needed help, and second, their Quirks were very useful for being teachers. Besides, they weren't the best students in Class 1-A, but that was precisely the point. It's better to learn from someone who made mistakes than from someone flawless.

The Kanaya twins and All Might... don't get along very well, to say the least.

"What's with you two? You look like you just stepped out of a funeral home." All Might says, looking at the two twins. They both have gray hair, and to tell them apart, they each have one yellow eye, but on opposite sides.

"Our parents work in one," Ryota says, not understanding All Might's joke.

This is POST USJ

After being, let's say, used as a toy to be smashed against the ground repeatedly and being forced into a wheelchair, Kazuma Dohko's life... didn't really change that much.

It was simply a matter of waking up and having his younger brother Kazuya take care of him. First, he had to wash his face... and boy, was it a mess... ironic that out of his entire family, he was the only one with black hair and green eyes... the rest were albinos.

"YOU DAMN CRIPPLE! YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING ALL DAY! IT'S 8 AM! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AT U.A. AT 6 AM!" Kazuya, his younger brother, yelled, hitting Kazuma, who simply laughed and smiled.

"HEY! What do you want me to do? That pillow was nice!" Kazuma yells to annoy his younger brother... actually, ever since he got depressed about what happened with Toya, it wasn't that he was having nightmares; he was constantly having sweet dreams about himself and Toya as teachers at U.A. or just being with his old best friend.

Because the difference between nightmares and sweet dreams is that from a nightmare you want to wake up... from a dream you like... you want to stay.

Kazuya took his older brother to U.A. and left him in the teachers' lounge... although Kazuya, being Kazuya (who can be a bit of a coward sometimes), preferred to stay with his brother. When they entered the teachers' lounge, Midnight glared at them both with an accusatory look.

"Kazuma-kun, WHY DON'T YOU GO SEE RECOVERY GIRL?" Midnight shouted, annoyed, but it was justified annoyance... Aizawa had gone to see Recovery Girl, while Kazuma... well, he simply didn't want to.

"HEY! In my defense... that woman has ENOUGH work without having to deal with me. Besides, I'd prefer she take care of Midoriya. That salad-head is always getting into accidents. I'd prefer she take care of him. Besides, my parents already paid for my medical care... and Aizawa?" Kazuma said, using his usual excuse to change the subject.

"Ah, Aizawa? He said he couldn't come today... Oh, hi Kazuya, are you running away from Vlad King again?" Midnight said, greeting Kazuya's younger brother.

"He's going to worry again... and last time he hugged me tightly because he thought I'd been kidnapped." Kazuya said comically, remembering how Vlad King used to worry... excessively.

Kazuma, as always, had to cover for his younger brother and take him to Class 1-A.

"Alright, guys! I know Aizawa scared you all too much about the sports festival... and that it's tomorrow, but today! We're going to see a movie, and I don't know, maybe go to the park or something. You need to relax, okay?" Kazuma smiled as he heard the usual applause from students like Kaminari, Mina, and Mineta.

"I SWEAR I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU AT THE SPORTS FESTIVAL, SHOTO!" Kazuya yelled, spitting on the ground as Shoto glared at him.

"...Who were you in the first place?" Shoto asked, raising an eyebrow... he wasn't annoyed or anything, he'd genuinely forgotten who Kazuya was.

Kazuma, one ear deaf thanks to his younger brother, looked at his students with genuine affection... at first, Kazuma hadn't really liked them that much, but he grew fond of them VERY quickly.

"Also, guys, this sports festival will be different... it'll be GLOBAL, so academies from all over the world will be coming, and they're staying, since U.A. wants to expand the building and the students quota sooooo POSSIBILY you all will have new classmates." Kazuma said while playing the promotional video that Nezu had made.

"Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na" the song from Free From Desire by Gala Rizzato was playing at maximum power from the loudspeaker... poor Kazuma had forgotten to lower the volume

"My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs
"My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs." Kazuma turned it off quickly.

"Nezu has to learn to turn the volume down on these things not everyone has the eardrums of a super intelligent mouse or whatever he is." Kazuma said while laughing loudly at how everyone, including Kazuya, was covering their ears.

The Dohko and Todoroki families have always been very dedicated to heroism and have been natural rivals since... forever? Almost.

The Dohko family has always been characterized by their energy-based Quirks; it's their indelible mark, much like fire is for the Todoroki family.

And one day, a prodigy was born into the Dohko family: Kazuma Dohko. At the age of five, he could fly and fire energy projectiles.

Kazuma's father, Gentoku Dohko, introduced Kazuma to Enji Todoroki and his son Toya to establish a rivalry... a typical tactic between these two families to foster healthy competition (even though they've been engaging in this nonsense for almost 100 years).

Ironically, Kazuma and Toya became inseparable friends, practically like two peas in a pod. They did everything together.

That is, until the Sekoto Peak accident. By then, they weren't talking as much as before, since Kazuma was already being trained by his parents, who were "preparing him for fame." They were taking the poor kid to talk shows when he was only 13 years old and overwhelming him with the idea of ​​being the new All Might!.

And when Kazuma found out what happened at Sekoto Peak... he broke like a toy. He didn't become evil at all. Kazuma is the kind of person who wouldn't easily fall for the idea of ​​being a villain, but he did get quite depressed, dropping significantly in the hero rankings. He's currently in 11th place, below Gang Orca.

Kazuma readily accepted the position of homeroom teacher for Class 1-A. He's the second teacher alongside Aizawa.

"Uh, excuse me, Dohko-san?" Izuku looked at Kazuma in a wheelchair because the Nomu at the USJ had grabbed him and slammed him to the ground repeatedly.

"Only Midoriya speaks. Besides, I'M NOT THAT OLD, KID! I'M ONLY 23! I COULD... I don't know, be your dad! or your older brother who is a loser... Well, what did you want, kid?" Kazuma says accusingly as he starts to laugh,

"You're stronger than several U.A. teachers... why are you teaching? I mean, you could be doing something more relevant." Izuku asks as he leads Kazuma to the Class 1-A classroom.

"Pffft, don't say that. I'm pathetic. Besides, it's not like I'm THAT strong." Kazuma smiles, looking at the ground.

"Why do you say you're pathetic? You're quite good at heroism. Your past records and many people said you could have surpassed All Might." Izuku says, while Kazuma listens but only looks at the ground.

"I just got depressed, you know? Not even the strongest hero escapes depression, and it's going to happen to you." Kazuma says in his typical mocking tone, the same one he's always used, or rather, since he "lost" his best friend.

"Besides... I'm not that good at rescuing people either... there was one I couldn't rescue in time." Kazuma said, finally dropping the mocking mask he'd worn since that day.

"Who?" Izuku asked curiously, looking at his teacher.

"My best friend. That's why I insist so much that you practice rescues and that you ALWAYS keep an eye on others... sometimes you don't know when you're going to do something crazy... but enough of that. Be grateful I'm not giving homework because Aizawa wanted to give a surprise quiz before the sports festival," Kazuma said seriously, but then changed the subject.

Kazuma is Class 1-A's favorite teacher... the reason? He doesn't give homework, and he doesn't usually threaten expulsion. He's more practical; sometimes he shows them movies, they go on outings, and his teaching method is more open than Aizawa's.

Kazuma always makes it his mission to get reporters kicked out of U.A., mainly because he HATES journalism.

"Don't get too close to them. If you give them even five centimeters, they'll grab you and destroy you," Kazuma said after chasing away several reporters. His hatred for journalists stems from being called "a wasted talent" on news programs.

Kazuma has a younger brother named Kazuya in Class 1-B. Kazuya's Quirk is firing plasma energy, unlike Kazuma, who can fire antimatter energy that burns his body from the inside out.

"I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU, TODOROKI!" Kazuya shouts from afar.

"Did you hear something?" Shoto asks Izuku and Ochako, who nod that they didn't hear anything.

"You need to improve your 'rival' area, but I'd give you a 3 out of 10." Kazuma says comically, showing a slip of paper that says 3/10. Good luck next time.

Kazuma has a strange relationship with Shoto; he treats him like his other students but doesn't look him in the eyes. Looking at Shoto's eyes reminds him a lot of Toya.

Kazuma brought Katsuki down to earth.

"Hahaha, being number one? I'm only going to tell you this once... the summit is the coldest place there is." Kazuma said, picking up his sunglasses, which had fallen to the ground because of one of Katsuki's explosions.

"Oh, are they ruined already?... Does anyone want them?" Kazuma said, showing his sunglasses; they only had a small burn mark on the temple (Kaminari had kept them, thinking it would turn him into "a stud").

Kazuma also spoke with Shoto about his fire before the sports festival.

"If you don't want to use it, that's fine. You don't have to force yourself to use something if you don't want to." Kazuma said, this time looking Shoto in the eyes.

Since Shirakumo's death, Aizawa has been experiencing vivid hallucinations. He's been seeing someone he calls "The Friend," a tall, lanky being who wears a sheepskin coat. He's as tall as a traffic light, so tall that his face is invisible. He wears a very tall top hat and a monocle, and his arms are made of metal.

"Uh professor? are you okay? you look like you didn´t sleep" Iida said, sounding worried, as he watched Aizawa enter the classroom. It had only been a day since the sports festival.

"I'm... fine, okay? Just open your notebooks. I'm going to teach today's lesson." Aizawa said as his students looked at him. Something was definitely going on with Aizawa.

"Oh, come on, Shota... stop disappointing them. You know you let everyone down. Or will this time be the exception? Come on, just look at them. You're going to disappoint them sooner or later or possibly you already did." The Friend said as Aizawa tried to teach.

"Just... shut up... you're not real." Aizawa muttered to himself as he tried to write on the board, but The Friend wouldn't leave.

"Oh, come on, don't give me that look. Can you even look at yourself in the mirror? You're so... pathetic. God, just a few weeks ago you were threatening these students with expulsion, and then you were fearing for your life at USJ." Mr. Friend said as Aizawa broke out in a cold sweat and turned to look at the class and then back at the blackboard.

The door to classroom 1-A was knocked on by Ren Moroboshi, Aizawa's former classmate and current secretary of Nezu he had originally intended to greet the students, congratulate them on the sports festival, give some papers, and leave, but he noticed that Aizawa looked... worse than usual.

"If you want, I can continue the class you should rest." Ren said, putting his arm around Aizawa's shoulder. They had known each other since U.A., and while Ren wasn't THAT close, Aizawa's appearance was somewhat worrisome.

"Look, Ren, I'm fine, I'm just..." Aizawa stared at a fixed point looking at his class as Ren just stared at Aizawa.

"Oh, come on, Se! What will you say to the parents of these little brats, as you yourself called them? WHAT WILL YOU SAY THE DAY YOU SEE THEM IN A FUCKING COFFIN? WILL YOU RUN AWAY? You always run away. Come on, try to refute me. SAY SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME THINK THE OPPOSITE OF YOU, YOU DISGUSTING BASTARD. OR ARE YOU GOING TO RUN AWAY? YOU'RE GOING TO RUN AWAY! I KNOW IT! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE." The Friend screamed with such visceral hatred toward Aizawa... The Friend was always there, but since the USJ, his presence has been more prominent than ever and FAR more aggresive.

"Aizawa, I know I'm not a pro hero like you, but I can continue the class. Besides, you should go to the doctor or a psychologist. You can't just stare into space or talk to yourself in a low voice." Ren urged him. While Ren didn't have a quirk that would make you say "WOW," he did have an intelligence-enhancing quirk and could teleport himself as long as he knew the coordinates.

Ren had said he was going to continue the class and that Aizawa was going to go with Nezu.

"Principal, I know I don't need a leave of absence, I'm... fine." Aizawa grumbled as Nezu looked at him from his office.

"Aizawa, this isn't about whether you can or can't take a leave of absence. Don't worry, we'll cover for you. Besides, Ren will cover for you. You know Ren has changed." Nezu said, offering Aizawa a smile... Ren used to be a bully, though not a physical one. He was more the kind who were friends with the bullies and stuck to them, basically a Yes-Man.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA SEE? SEE, DAMMIT? SOONER OR LATER YOU WERE GOING TO GET FIRED!" The friend said, laughing grotesquely, it was like opening a rusty door.

"It's just... temporary. I'll be back next month." Aizawa said, trying to wash his face.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT VISITING SHIRAKUMO'S FAMILY! HAHAHA! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU VISITED THEM? COME ON, SHOTA, TALK." The friend said, laughing even louder, in a more grotesque way, it was like taking a violin and putting a leather glove on it.

"Shut up, damn it!" Aizawa yelled, his voice dripping wet on the floor as he sighed... How the hell was he going to fight with something inside his mind?

"Oh, come on, Sho, do you really think you can fight? Are you even in a position to negotiate at this point? Come on, buddy, you always run away from your problems... Or have you forgotten about that cat you saw in the street, right in the middle of the rain, but you were SO cowardly that Shirakumo had to rescue it because you couldn't?... I've always been there for you, reminding you of EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR FAILURES." The Friend said, but not laughing this time, just staring at Aizawa.

Meanwhile, in Class 1-A, several students decided to talk to Aizawa later, but Izuku looked at Ren. Not at all, he was a bad teacher; in fact, he was quite good, and unlike Aizawa, he used different teaching methods.

"Uh, Moroboshi-san, out of curiosity, you said that you and Aizawa were classmates. How did you get along?" Izuku asked, curious.

"Uh... oh yeah, we didn't get along very well. It was... complicated," Ren said, embarrassed, remembering his days as a bully.
