Chapter 16 - I'm willing

"So you were quirkless as well?"

"That's certainly surprising?"(Momo)

"The symbol of peace once quirkless?" (Jiro)

"You're like a nerd huh?" (Bakugou)

Allmight gave a bit more about himself telling them the time his master was still alive and how he had dreamt to be the symbol of peace. 

He smiled, reminiscing of the past and recalling his youth when he was the same age as his successor who had a childish dream yet eventually achieved it after many years.

This made him wonder if his master would be proud of what he attained after her passing. He always tries his best to amend and not disappoint her master by smiling every day.

Now that his time is nearing and thinking about retiring entirely from his hero work. That would come when he finished passing the force to Midoriya.

"That's right. Perhaps my master saw the same thing I did to Young Midoriya."

"I surely won't disappoint you or and her, AllMight?"

This made the symbol of peace smile ruffling his hair that Izuku oddly felt pleasant. He never had a father figure and Allmight seemed to fill the hole in his heart.

Moments later, Inko entered the room while pushing a cart full of food. She had beaming and welcoming that made Allmight be in trances by her.

She had had a fit body that no one would think that she's already a mother. There weren't any visible differences despite already being in her 40s. 

Inko had been working hard ever since Izuku began her journey, deciding rather than stressing herself to try her best to be better like her son.  

[A/N: So, no fat Inko.]

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting. Here are your meals I hope you enjoy. Now, what is that you want to discuss, Mr.Yagi."

"How do I go with this...first of all, what I'm about to tell you is important to be between the people here as it will affect your son's future."

Allmight explained that made into extremely anxious at what he meant by it but nodded. She understood that this is about her son's dream of becoming a hero and gave a determined expression supporting her sons till the end. 

The number one hero could see the spitting image of his master when he saw her expression. This made him compelled to make the decision that might change their life.

"Please do not panic but...I AM ALLMIGHT!"

"Gaaah!!! The skinny guy turned into Allmight!! Imposter!!!"

He sweatdropped, Inko took a moment to calm down seeing the number one hero and the idol that her son looked up to ever since he was a child is in front of her. 

"You're really Allmight. I apologize for how I reacted."

"It is alright, Miss Midoriya. Anyways, I would like to explain everything at the beginning..."

Inko intently listened, hearing how his son's dream was growing closer towards his dream. She understood the responsibility that her sons would carry but was thankful that he had friends beside him looking at them who were quietly eating. 

She felt saddened how someone had to keep going for five years in order for the people to feel safe. Inko admired Allmight for everything that he did that inspired her son to be a hero like him and never wanted anything in return.

A man who burdens by the weight of being the symbol of peace that is now crumbling but her sons would carry the torch guiding the next generation.

"You're sons would one day surpass me and be a better symbol of peace than me. That is why I'm asking for your consent to help guide him."

"I understand. Ever since he was a child and diagnosed quirkless, the thing that kept him moving forward was your smile and words. Without you standing and inspiring many people then my son wouldn't be the man he is today. Which is why, please guide him and help him achieve his dream."

"I will!"

Allmight and Inko smiled while everyone except Izuku and Bakugou who just doesn't care sees the chemistry between the two.

"I ship."(Jiro)

"Same here, they seem perfect together."(Itsuka)

"Is it appropriate to gossip about other people's relationships? But I do think the same."(Momo)

They began to gossip seeing the two appeared to be a blooming couple.

After that day, 5 months went by as everyone grew stronger each day surpassing their limits. First of all, Momo was able to create never-seen metals that shouldn't exist using the database that Izuku researched.

He had been theorizing and allowed her to make a wide array of metals that maker nearly invincible but creating them is taxing both in her lipids and mind. 

Nevertheless, the metallic ore varies from the old western comics at the ages of before quirks. These metals are vibranium, Adamantium, Anti-meta, etc. 

Izuku asked her for the materials in helping create his suits along with Bakugou who wanted to refuse but knew he was the only one capable of making the costume. 

It took a while of research even with the high-speed thought that Izuku has still had difficulty making it. He also upgraded Gideon with her processing capacity and had made a lifetime of research into only a few months thanks to his high-speed brain.

Of course, she wasn't the only one improving her skills. Jiro had greatly improved in hand-to-hand combat and sharpened her senses. She wasn't highly skilled but enough to take down most people. 

Izuku helps her find ways to improve her quirk resulting in having more control over the frequency of the sound she transfers. This helped in handling villains down the lines. 

And for Itsuka, she only improved her Martial art and improved her relationship with her boyfriend Izuku. The other girls who had grown fond of Izuku from everything he had done for them could not help but become increasingly jealous while Itsuka worried each day.

She didn't want to ruin her relationship with them but couldn't push herself to hate them. Itsuka was currently in a thread and decided to address it without her boyfriend knowing.

"Now It's been 5 months that I know you guys and I can't take it anymore. I want to ask you straight….do you like Izuku?"

Itsuka felt weird that she isn't mad or even pushing them away like a logical woman in a relationship. She found it odd but shook the feeling and stared at the two girls ashamed and unable to look at her.

They were at the cafe to discuss their future relationship with Izuku. Both knew that this was an inevitable conclusion and decided to take a deep breath. 

"....I-I don't know but...every day I felt my heartache when I saw you together with him and wished it was me. But still, I don't want to ruin my friendship with you. I rarely have friends that are genuine and only want me because of my Position. I'm sorry Itsuka-san."(Momo)

Momo explains their feelings as she felt it was being pierced. She did not regret feeling this way for Izuku who had done many things for her. 

"I-I feel the same way ever since the day he met me. I couldn't remove him from my mind and every moment we spent only confirmed my feelings. I'm sorry, Itsuka-san."

Jiro did the same look down in shame, not wanting to stay silent forever. If it ruins their friendship then at least she is able to say how she felt.

The silence lasted for a few moments until Itsuka deeply sighed, only increasing the two's anxiety hearing their heart pounding.

"....I'm not mad at you two, please don't look in shame. I already knew about you guys feelings for him but at that time I was unsure of it. Now that you guys honestly told me I could not help but not hate you. Both of you grew to be a good friend of mine and can't just forget about it."

The two looked at her slightly relieved but still anxiously listening with each word that came from her mouth. 

"But I love Izuku and wanted him all for myself like any other normal girl."

They couldn't agree more that if they were in her position they would have said the same words. 

"It's alright Itsuka-san we understand-"

"No, let me finish."

Momo was about to speak when Itsuka cut her off, shocking her. This made her wonder why Itsuka cut her off.

"However, hearing Izuku's dream made me think about how I won't be the only one able to support him. Perhaps what I'm about to do is stupid and out of the norms but….I'm willing to share Izuku with you guys."
