Chapter Text
“Ochaa” Little Izuku cried into his sister's arms, the brown hair girl only frowned as she patted her brother on the back
“Kids keep hitting me and–and one threw a rock but m–mmooom doesn't want to heal me, sh-she says that I should learn how to do healing magic but I can't, t-there's blood everywhere” izuku sobbed hard, hissing in pain at the pain on his head
“Izu..” she closed her eyes and focused, they felt a strong wind and the pain in izuku's head lessened, she was letting out small pants as izuku held her so she wouldn't fall
“Thank you” he said and she nodded
“This is why I-I wanna have powers, I wouldn't get bullied and m-mom would love me”
“She..she loves you izu”
The 9-year-old shook his head
“No–no she doesn't..nobody does”
The 10-year-old hugs izuku very tightly
“Then..I’ll love you and protect you” she said and izuku nodded
**
“Wow..! you're so powerful” a group of kids joined them to see as ochako was trying to make rocks float. Even at that age, it was hard to do so since kids don't fully develop their magic until they're 15
But of course, ochako was the exception
"She's very s-strong" Izuku praised and that seemed to irk her a bit and the other kids glanced at izuku
"Who is he?" one of them asked
"Uh..oh! I think it's ochako's brother" The other said and the kids seemed to have giggled amongst themselves
"Eww really? Mom said I shouldn't talk to him because he can steal your magic because he has none" Denki laughed and tears threatened to fall
"That's--what's not true!"
"Suure, come on guys, we have to make the evil go away," Mineta says as he picks up a rock and the green hair started trembling
"NO! Ocha! Help me" izuku cried out as he barely dodged a rock coming his way
The kids stopped to see ochako's reaction, kind of scared that if she joined them she would beat them all in a heartbeat
"...mom said not to talk to you" She mumbled and the kids' grins became wider as they grabbed more rocks. Izuku tried to run away but even then he let out cries when the sharp rocks hit his back and skull
The boy tripped on a branch only for the others to use this as an opportunity to kick him and throw rocks at him
"STOP!" Izuku tried to kick on the floor but he was no match for the others
"Who are you going to tell huh? Your mom doesn't looove you" hanta mocks as he kicks izuku in the shoulder
"I SAID STOP"
Everything became quiet and..dark
Izuku slowly opened his eyes to find he was in a white ever expanding room
"Painful memory huh? I've been browsing through them since you were asleep, you really are the perfect candidate" Izuku turns back to see the same copy of himself floating as he had a toothpick on his teeth
"Candidate?"
"I mean..a sad background to make who you are, it's weird how you still always wanted to be a powerful witch hero until All Might told you you can't"
Izuku grits his teeth
"That..with the rocks..it happened a long time ago and..maybe he was right"
"Hmm...I don't know, seems it still haunts you to this day, I'm sure they don't care but you do"
Izuku looks down in shame only for it to be quickly raised by a hand filled with scars
"That's how it's always been for us, izuku. People hate us because we can't be useful but once we become more powerful than them..they get scared and try to shut us down"
Izuku brings his head back so as not to be touched by his other self, who was he anyway?
"Im you, I was hidden deep within you, the book just made me..come out"
"How can I trust..you"
"Seems good you're skeptical" he smiles as he takes a step back
"You can never trust a lot of people izuku, seems like you couldn't even trust your own family" he takes his hand out and in an instant, he summons a large fireball bigger than the size of a car with ease
"Powerful aren't I? That can be you" he goes back to leaning down to be centimeters away from izuku
"You can show them who you really are, maybe even..show kacchan what you're capable of, show all might how /wrong/ he was"
The other him got really hyper about the last part involving all might
"Well, each thing has its time, go on, wake up and show them your new powers"
Izuku's eyes started to widen as his body started to fill up with smoke
"W-wait! wouldn't it be suspicious if I just got powers?"
"Who cares? Late bloomer or you were shy all this time what are they going to do about it? Sink it in your head i-Zu-ku..you're the chosen one"
Izuku's heart beating faster by the second
Those words were one he'd never thought he'd hear..! It had to be a dream right? Was his mind finally going crazy after all the rejections he's been going through?
Izuku sat up, gasping. He was..back to his room, but how? Last time he remembered passing out in the middle of a very secure place unless...
His alarm beeped telling him it would be time to go to school
This kacchan bring him here?
Was it all princess-style? Dodging the cameras and...
Izuku covered his face as he blushed
He didn't let him fail, that was for sure...!
Izuku struggled to put on his clothes but there was a big smile on his face
Nothing couldn't go wrong!

"Alright, class...I know it's senior year, and nobody wants to work but I need you all to try to show your power in the test. College applications open soon and they need to see your improvement" Aizawa says as he flipped the page
Izuku stared at the corner of the courtyard where he usually hid during his three years, after all, what was the point?
//Stay// the voice ordered and izuku froze which caught the attention of mina
"Oh? Little nonmagic izuku thinks he can do it?" she teased
Kids laughed amongst themselves and Aizawa glared at them
"All of you, drop it" he ordered and the others did, still snickering
"You can go back to your usual corner midoriya, I will give you an-"
"I can do it" he says and everyone stays quit
"You don't have to"
"..please, it's my last year here I might as well also..try?"
"..Sure kid" he sighed, putting his chart down not even bothering to write it down
Izuku bit his as he raised his hand
"Wait-what do I do?"
What? You can't blame him..! He's never done this before...
"Just anything kid, destroy that dummy and put it back together for all I care"
Denki laughs
"Imagine he leaves like a little dent"
Momo chuckles
"That will surely be an improvement in his skills" she mocked
Izuku frowned as he stared at it before taking a deep breath
//Good..imagine the flow of magic running through your blood..//
Izuku felt the tingling sensation on his arm
He felt it
He can do it..!
Izuku's hair lifted a bit and shot!
A small rock appeared and softly landed on the floor, it was a pebble at first and it barely even moved 3 centimeters away from him
The black hair sighs
"Next"
"HAHAHA" the others got on their knees as they couldn't hold their laugh
Izuku stared at ochako who quickly looked away and bakugou stared at the small pebble, skeptically
"No! I-I can do it!" izuku cried out
"I said /next/" he ordered and izuku shook his head
"If I just try hard enough-"
"You can't even try"
"Weak"
"Why do you even go to school"
Izuku didn't even know who said those hurtful words, they all meshed up into one, his hands were trembling from the range
//Angry?//
"Sh..shut...SHUT UP"
Izuku cried out, the floor trembled and a strong gust of wind threw everyone to the ground, even Aizawa let out a cough from how strong it was
And then it was quiet again
But all eyes were on him
