At the young age of 4 Izuku Midoriya discovered the world was not fair, quirkless, bullied and kicked into the dirt more times than he could count.He was Deku the worthless quirkless loser, nobody respected him and his best friend had turned into the worst of his bullies.To say his outlook on life was good would've been a lie to say the least.

Then again at the age of 10 Izuku re learned this lesson, after all he did indeed have a quirk, one he had never quite expected to have.After all what's stronger than being able to give and take quirks in a world that was based off of them.Izuku Midoriya's story began after standing up to his "friend" for the first time.The boy in question had turned into what could only be described as a villain.He flaunted his power over others by beating them into the ground with his quirk, explosion.

One day after being shoved back by his childhood tormentor Izuku felt it first then saw it, a string coming from bakugo he could sense it and he felt compelled to pull, the very essence of body screaming to take the thing and rip it from Bakugo and so he did.The weird thing was that Bakugo stopped after Izuku had ripped the thing from him, he was sitting still just staring at his hands.Izuku was confused to say the least, he had never seen this behavior from Bakugo before, breaking him from his reverie his ex-friend screamed.

"DEKU, WHAT DID YOU DO?" Bakugo roared before starting to stomp towards the boy.

Izuku decided now was the time to flee so he turned and ran, he didn't stop until he was all the way back home.

It wasn't until Izuku had reached the door to stop and consider what he'd done.Izuku could feel the string inside of him and as if on instinct his body told him to pull it so he did and once he had tiny sparks had started to appear in his hands.So that's what he did Izuku realized.He had stolen Bakugo's quirk, his quirk lets him steal quirks.The irony of the situation was not lost on the boy he was no longer a worthless weak Deku, he was strong and Bakugo was the Deku now.He finally brought himself out of his thoughts and opened the door, to see his mother in the kitchen cooking.

Calling out to her he said "Mom, Mom, look at my quirk".Izuku created tiny sparks from his hands while he said that showing her his new quirk.

The face on the woman went from joy to confusion to shock at the sight."Izuku isn't that Katsuki's quirk?Or do you just happen to have the same one dear?" Inko said quite surprised as the odds of the latter seemed astronomically low since neither her nor her husband had a quirk even remotely similar to that.

"That's not my real quirk Mom, my real quirk lets me steal quirks.I took Bakugo's so he couldn't bully people anymore." Izuku explained.

The house phone began to ring after her son finished telling her about his quirk, but she was sure she knew who was calling right now."Izuku we need to talk about this, stealing from others is wrong even if they were being bullies." She sighed grabbing the phone noticing the name on caller id."Hey Mistuki, I already know what your calling about, Izuku just told me about what happened."

"Yeah your son stole my brat's quirk, Inko I don't think I need to say how scary of a quirk your son has.Katsuki has been crying ever since he got home, do you know if Midoriya can return quirks or is it permanent?If he can, can you make him give it back to Katsuki please." Mitsuki stated in a manner that sounded more defeated than actually angry.

"Yeah I was just about to talk to him about it.I'll figure out how exactly Izuku's quirk works before you get over here." Inko sighed again realizing this was going to be a long night.

"Thanks Inko we'll be right over." Mistuki said as she hung up

"Izuku please tell me everything that happened and what you know about your quirk.We need to figure out if you can give quirks back before the Bakugos get here." Inko explained to her child.

Izuku paused before responding."Uh I can sense strings?I just pulled on it and I took it from Bakugo, I have to physically touch someone, I think.As for giving it back I have no idea if I can Momma but I don't want to give it back to him.He's just going to start abusing people with it again.He's a bully Mom, bullies shouldn't have powers if they are going to misuse them." Midoriya explained to his mother.

"Izuku you aren't the law you don't get to decide who does and doesn't get to have quirks.Please don't fight me on this." The woman was done with this conversation

At first Izuku didn't want to give it back but the more he thought about the more he realized that she was right."Alright Mom, I'll give it back but I want to set some rules before I do.I want him to stop being a bully at the very least." Izuku finally relented.

Thirty minutes passed before there was a knock at the door.Assuming it to be the Bakugos Inko went to the door before opening it, she was greeted with the sight of Masaru looking at Izuku with fear, Mitsuki looking bored more than anything but their son Katsuki?He just looked dead, he must be crushed without a quirk she realized.

"I'm sorry we had to meet like this but please come in.I have tea for all of you if you want some." Inko said while ushering them in and onto the couch, Masaru was notably giving Izuku a wide berth Inko noticed.

Mitsuki took a sip of her tea before speaking."While I do wish we were meeting under different circumstances we do need to take care of this Inko.Izuku can you tell me what exactly happened earlier today?"

Izuku began twirling his thumbs together."Um well Bakugo was threatening me with his quirk and then when he shoved me I saw a string coming from Bakugo so I pulled on it and suddenly I had his quirk.That's all that happened really." Izuku put his head down after.

Mitsuki looked at her son before continuing."Did you attack Izuku Katsuki?"

"Yeah I attacked that stupid Deku he thought he could be a hero without a quirk, it was for his own good.Now he has that evil villain's quirk that only lets him take from others." Bakugo cringed from hearing the boy say his name earlier and not Kacchan for some reason that hurt him inside but then the fire returned."YOU HEAR THAT DEKU YOUR A FUCKING VILLAIN YOU HEAR ME?YOU'RE A FUCKING FREAK WITH A FREAK'S QUIRK!"

Everyone in the room froze from the sheer venom dripping from the boy's speech, the language excluded Mitsuki was speechless hearing her son talk like that, she hit him on the head."Katsuki never speak like that again and your quirk isn't evil Izuku, what happened sounds like it was an accident.Can you try giving it back please?"

Izuku was still trying to collapse in on himself to get away from Bakugo but he heard his name spoken so he knew he couldn't avoid this conversation."I can try but I don't want to get exploded anymore can you promise to stop using it on me Bakugo?"

Mitsuki looked at her son after a large amount of time passed without him speaking."Well Katsuki?"

"No fucking way I'm going to put down this villain before he has the chance to steal even more quirks." Bakugo was glaring daggers into Izuku.

"Katsuki!" She slapped her son again."I will NOT tolerate you threatening to kill Izuku.What the hell is wrong with you."

Bakugo was rubbing his face from the slap."Look what his fucking quirk can do, he could take the quirk of everyone in here by just touching them!"

Izuku started crying after hearing what his ex-friend said, he knew they were never going to be friends again but he wanted to kill me."I d-d-don't want to give it back if he's going to do t-that." Izuku was rubbing his eyes.

Inko just looked between the two children.Before steeling her gaze and looking at her friend's ex son."Katsuki if you touch my child, I swear nothing will stop me from getting you."

The gaze horrified the boy he'd never seen Inko look like that.

Masaru finally decided to step in."Alright everyone let's please calm down.We're getting too heated here.Let's take a minute and calm down."

A tense silence passed before Mitsuki spoke."Alright it's clear things have become strained between the two of you but Katsuki you will promise to stop hurting Izuku, I don't care about his quirk do I make myself clear?"

Bakugo looked to the side."Fine old hag.Deku give me my fucking quirk back I won't use it on you."

Izuku shakily held his hand out but as he did a thought occurred to him.Something so wrong, so out of character he can't believe he was thinking it.This was his quirk now and there was no way Bakugo was going to listen to his mother.Plus his Mother had a point they had no way of knowing if Izuku could even give quirks back, though he was pretty certain that he could.On top of that Bakugo just threatened to murder him if he got his quirk back, I'm not taking that risk If I don't have too.Besides this was payback for the years of torment Bakugo inflicted on Izuku."Um I don't know if I can even give it back but I can try, t-take my hand B-bakugo." They sat like this for ten minutes while Izuku pretended to 'give' his quirk back.On the other hand Izuku definitely knew he could return quirks now.After he initiated physical contact with Bakugo he felt the ability to push the string back into the boy if he wanted too.

"I'm so sorry" Izuku stammered out "I don't think I can do it." Katsuki just deflated at those words Izuku had never seen the boy look so pale but after what he did and said today alone he felt he more than deserved it.Hopefully with some time without a quirk and he'll learn to be a better person although Izuku did feel a little guilty about it but he figured he could just hold onto it for a few weeks before giving it back.

It was Mitsukis turn to chime in "Alright well it seems we won't be getting anywhere today but please keep trying to find a way to give his quirk back Izuku.You know it was everything to Katsuki and without it, well just look at him." Izuku cringed after seeing the look on bakugos face, maybe he should just give it back now.No, this will be a good learning experience for him Izuku finally decided, it's definitely not because I want to keep it or anything he told himself.

The Bakugos stood to leave but Katsuki was just staring at the floor after a little more time passed and his parents realized he was in shock, Masaru grabbed his hand and led Katsuki from the house.Mitsuki just said a sad goodbye to Inko before they left.

Inko looked at her child in various levels of intrigue and fear realizing just what her son was capable of."Izuku you must keep your quirk a secret honey, imagine what people will think of you if they found out you can permanently rob them of their quirk by simply touching them.Your quirk is extraordinary Izuku but it's also incredibly horrifying and when dealing with things like that it's best to handle it with a level of caution alright dear?I will love you regardless but either way it's time for bed Izuku."

All Izuku did was say I love you in kind and walk off to bed but little did they know that this wouldn't be kept secret for very long.

The next morning

As Izuku made it to the school next morning but for some reason everyone was giving him hushed looks and whispering behind his back.He was used to bullying and being made fun of but this was very different from the usual.Confused he walked over to one of his classmates in order to ask them what was going on.The person in question just looked at Izuku in fear and screamed running away begging him to not steal his quirk.Oh Bakugo told everyone about my quirk I guess, well that's fun.

That being said getting left alone is probably better than getting bullied at least.Other than that though he realized his Mother was right.Izuku had a villainous quirk and if he were being honest with himself he had been using it like a villain, then again Bakugo literally threatened to kill me if I gave him his quirk back so maybe I'm doing the right thing?He was broken from his thoughts when the intercom blared to life.

"Izuku Midoriya to the Principal's Office.Izuku Midoriya to the Principal's Office." The line cut after that announcement.

Izuku just sighed in defeat and started walking towards the Principal's office

Once he reached the office of the Principal the secretary ushered him into the room of the principals almost immediately.Upon looking into the room he saw two chairs sitting in front of the Principal's desk, one empty, the other occupied by a familiar spiky blonde haired child with a shit eating grin on his face.Principal Nakihara on the other hand looked livid."Midoriya it has come to my attention that an incident occured at the playground yesterday.Your quirk came in, that's good but then you used it to somehow steal Bakugo's quirk?Return his quirk at once Midoriya!" The man slammed his hands on the desk when said that last part.If Izuku were being honest, he fucking hated this man.He's covered Bakugo's abuses for the entirety of the time he was here just because he was their 'star' pupil.Hell the man often blamed Izuku for being the one to start the fight if Bakugo got caught in the act.In his mind this man was worse than Bakugo, he actively encouraged abuse in his school and Izuku hated it.

However being wise enough to not voice his opinion, Izuku just sighed before speaking."Sir, I already had this talk with the Bakugos.I don't know if I can return a quirk once I take it and even if I could I have no idea how to do that."

The principal slammed his hands on the desk again."Then find a way Midoriya!If his quirk isn't returned within 10 minutes I will be calling the police, you have robbed the future of one of our best and brightest, and if you cannot fix it then I swear to god I will bring the vengeance of the law down upon you."

Izuku called it of course, had this man ever once went to bat for him?No, he just scuffed everything that Bakugo did under the rug and now that I made Bakugo the Deku, he's lashing out at me for it.Izuku had 2 choices now, give it back and they realize he was lying or double down and have the police called.Since there was no way Izuku could get in trouble for this Izuku went with the second option.He was literally quirkless until yesterday and honestly today had just proven his point even further.Bakugo Katsuki does not deserve having a quirk, he's a violent bully that manipulates the people around him and uses his power to stand over other them while he kicks them into the dirt.He's a villain nothing more, nothing less and now that his favourite toy was taken he's throwing a temper tantrum just because he can.

Izuku just sighed again."I can try again Sir but I really have no idea if I can do this." Izuku then went and faked another attempt at giving the boys quirk back and after 10 minutes of him 'trying' true to his word the principal called the police.Izuku wasn't sure what the principal thought this was going to accomplish though, Izuku is 10 years old for crying out loud.

So there Izuku sat in an office for around an hour, trapped between two people he really would rather not be trapped between.When the door finally opened Izuku cheered silently.

It revealed two people, one absolutely tall skeleton of a man with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a really tacky yellow suit.The other was a much more normal looking man with black hair and a detective's badge, it was a strange pairing to say the least.

The detective spoke first."Hello my name is Detective Naomasa Tskauchi." He said as he flashed his badge, "We came because of the incident of a child stealing another child's quirk.Which of these two is the one who took the quirk?" The principal responded by pointing at Izuku."May we borrow your office Principal Nakihara?We would like to get the boy's statement in private, if that's alright with you." The principal stood ushering himself and Bakugo out of the room.

The detective sat down in the chair opposite Izuku and began asking the boy questions."So Midoriya, is it true that you took that boys quirk?"

"Yes, it is but it wasn't on purpose I swear, in fact I was considered quirkless until yesterday." Izuku explained to the man.

All of that pinged as a truth which greatly relieved the detective, at least the boy didn't do this on purpose and he only has his hands on one extra quirk.That being said this child either possesses a quirk similar to All for One or All for One is involved in this somehow.Both options didn't make the man happy."Alright that's fine then, can you give the quirk back Midoriya?"

"I don't know If I can, I've only had the quirk for a day, not even actually." The boy lied to the police officer.

Well that's not good Tsukauchi realized."Midoriya do you want to take a guess at what my quirk called lie detector does?" The man leveled a gaze at the boy.

Oh Izuku was fucked.

Satisfied by the look on the boy's face Tsukauchi continued."Things are going to get serious if you don't tell me why you won't return the boy's quirk Midoriya."

"I'm sorry for lying but please believe me I had good intentions in not giving it back." Izuku stammered out.

Strangely enough that wasn't a lie the boy genuinely believed he was doing the right thing by not giving it back and that somehow worried Tsukauchi more than if it had been a lie, was the boy delusional or something?

"The person I took it from was a bully, he used his explosion quirk to hurt people.I was one of his main victims, I just wanted to keep him from hurting people.I want to be a hero after all, plus I figured I would return it in a few weeks at the most.Just enough time to make him get used to being quirkless like the person he used to beat daily.Also I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I feel kind of possessive of the quirk, it's like I hunger for it.I've never felt anything like that before."

By the end of it the Detective was both equal parts relieved and appalled, at least this boy wanted to be a hero and not use his quirk to become the next dark lord or something."Izuku while every single thing you just said was true and I applaud your bravery in standing up to a bully.This compulsion can you fight it?" The man asked the scared child in front of him.

Izuku nodded."Yes but it's kind of hard.Like when you told me what your quirk does part of me wanted to take it.I'm kind of scared of this feeling if i'm being honest."

For the first time in the entire conversation the skeleton man spoke "My name is Yagi Toshinori young Midoriya, I would like to ask you a few questions.The main one being why do you want to be a hero?"

Izuku paused as he thought for a bit."I really just want to save people with a smile like All Might, he's my favorite hero."

Yagi Toshinori winced as his name was brought up and he looked over at Tsukauchi to see a thumbs up indicating that the boy did not lie to him.

"That is commendable young Midoriya but what you did was akin to vigilantism the way you described it.You took the law into your own hands to deal with a threat and decided that the other boy should not have a quirk.Young Midoriya you are not the law, you are not even an adult yet, you are a 10 year old child with a very very strong quirk." The man scolded the child.

"I know but he threatened to kill me if I gave it back, he called a m-monster that needed to be put down.I was scared." Izuku shook in fear.

Both men exchanged a look, Tsukauchi confirmed it to be true.Toshinori had a face of sheer rage, the bullying was that bad?"I swear I will look into this Young Midoriya but you will have to return the quirk I promise that other boy won't hurt you anymore.That being said as the incident was the result of an accident there will be no formal charges pressed, at least for you.Please do not let this incident occur again as next time we can't explain it away as a mere accident." Izuku leveled the boy with a gaze that made it clear repeat offenses would not end in a similar manner.

Izuku let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, now that he was out of immediate danger his curiosity returned."Um sir I can kind of see quirks now, they look like strings with unique characteristics that I can pull on to take them, why do you have 7 quirks?Also why do they look so weird there all wispy and ghosty, kind of like they aren't even really there." The boy asked the skeleton.

To which Toshinori coughed blood in sheer surprise.He gave a look to Tsukauchi and decided that this boy needed to now since he will likely be targeted by Him in the future because of his quirk.All Might was pretty certain that he had killed the bastard but they were never able to find the body to confirm his death.Hopefully it was just one of his followers dragging off the body to bury it but deep down part of him knows that it wasn't true.

"Sir are you okay?!You just coughed blood!" Izuku grabbed a napkin from the desk and panically handed it to the man.

"It is simply my old injury flaring up do not worry yourself about it.Alright young Midoriya as there is a high chance that you will be involved in this in the future I am going to tell you something, you must swear not to reveal anything I am about to say, do you understand?" The boy gulped in response and then nodded.

Toshinori buffed up appearing in his All Might form."Young Midoriya, my quirk is called One for All, it is a sacred torch passed down through the generations, and I am it's eighth user.The quirk is 2 different quirks combined although it appears they're may be remnants of the others in the quirk based off of what you just said.Any way the first is the quirk to stockpile power which is why One for all gets stronger with each generation and the second is the ability to pass itself onto another person.You're probably wondering why I'm telling you all this my boy?Well it is because those two quirks were combined by another's quirk, one who can give and take quirks, sound familiar?That man is the world's greatest evil.He's always hidden himself in the shadows manipulating actions from the shadows and he has been around for over 200 years now.You get it right?The ability to just take quirks as one pleases, a quirk to stop aging perhaps?This man has a love for power and uses his abilities to take and control, although I finally defeated him one year prior which is where I got this injury of mine my boy.I'm sure you understand why we were so worried when we first came in here." Finishing his story All might deflated back into his true form.

Izuku couldn't believe his eyes, he had been talking to All Might this whole time and they were just trying to make sure they didn't have another lord of darkness on their hands, it finally clicked for him just how dangerous his quirk was."All Might there's a question I need to ask, can I be a hero with this quirk?A villains quirk?"

All Might just laughed."Boy no quirk is villainous, quirks are simply tools to be used and with yours i'd say you could become one of the best heroes of all time using it."

His idol believed in him?Izuku was openly weeping now and he had no intentions of hiding it, finally someone believed in him.

"Young Midoriya this was an enlightening conversation but what if I said I had a proposition for you?How would you like to be trained by me?And as it so happens I have the perfect way for you to use your quirk completely legally and it would be beneficial to the police, provided you follow through and actually return young Bakugo's quirk." After hearing that Izuku couldn't contain himself he ran out the door slapped Bakugo's hand and ran back into the room screaming "YES" at the top of his lungs.This was the origin of the pro hero All for None.

Chapter 2

It was the day following Izuku's meeting with All Might to say his life changed drastically in the last 24 hours would be an understatement.Bakugo got punished for the first time after Tsukauchi talked to the Principal about comments that the boy had made, that was the first piece of good news.Second he was about to be personally trained by the number 1 hero All Might his idol, Izuku couldn't believe his luck.Funnily enough Izuku had been expelled by the Principal but he's never been happier.Izuku honestly didn't care about that shit hole anyway, every person at that school had been awful to him.Plus All Might mentioned he would handle my schooling himself so Izuku knew it'd be fine regardless.On top of that the entire school had been threatened by All Might, if they spoke of me or my quirk they would be sued for spilling a government secret which Izuku couldn't believe his quirk counted as that but I guess the original All for One was as well so it only made sense.

Izuku hadn't been able to sleep a wink but he was still absolutely beaming.With a skip in his step he put his shoes on and nearly ran out the door, All Might had asked Izuku to meet him at Dagobah Beach and there was no way he would let the man down or be late.

The smile had dwindled a little when Izuku arrived at the beach in question, was all of this a prank cause I'm pretty sure this is a garbage dump.He had arrived at exactly 5:59 am 1 minute before All Might had told Izuku to meet him there and Izuku could see head nor tail of the man.That was until a yellow flash jumped down in front of the green haired child.Izuku assumed the man had been hiding on the top of one of the piles of garbage but that honestly didn't matter because now the number 1 hero stood before him, it hadn't been a prank after all.Izuku smiled to himself.

"It's alright now, Why?Because I am here!" All Might exclaimed doing his signature catchphrase and then not so signature deflating into a shriveled husk of a man and coughing out blood.

Izuku grew pale at the sight."Are you okay All Might?"

All Might simply replied" I'm alright my boy, it has been a year since my injury and I am more than accustomed to it by this point.Anyway how did you sleep young midoriya?"

"Not very well honestly, I was too excited to sleep, I mean training with you?People would kill in order to have this chance." Izuku replied.

"Just prove yourself to me my boy and you'll have no need to repay me, you have already proven yourself once by returning that bullies quirk." All Might replied but noticed Midoriya looking rather sheepishly at him.

"Um All Might I need to ask a question that's been really eating at me." Saying nothing All Might gestured for the boy to go on.

"Did you offer to train me only because you're worried I'll be the next All for One?I just, I don't know ... I don't want you to be training me because you're afraid of me, I guess." Izuku couldn't look the man in the eyes while he said this.

All Might paused for a second before responding "No my boy you have nothing in common with that vile evil.I had no doubt you would become a hero all your own but I wished to ease the process as much as possible since as it stands you are basically quirkless, and we need to find you a source of quirks my boy.While I am slightly hesitant to give you more power it is as I said it is not the quirk that makes one evil, what if I went around destroying buildings and cratering people, suddenly would I have a villainous quirk?" Midoriya nodding along but secretly very glad.

"Now as for actually helping you with obtaining quirks it's actually quite simple really, were going to have you take the quirks of criminals, death row inmates or those with life sentences.In this way you are both helping society by removing the quirks of dangerous people who should not have such tools, while also providing you with tools of your own, however I would recommend picking one quirk in particular to be your 'actual' quirk my boy."

Izuku was confused "Didn't you say it was bad that I did that literally yesterday All Might?"

"Ah yes but it was that very same idea that inspired me to create my own version of it, keeping Bakugo's quirk from him in order to help society is wrong but why is that."

Midoriya shook his head not understanding."No idea All Might."

"Please call me Toshinori in this form young Midoriya but anyway.The difference my boy is that while cruel and a bully young Bakugo is not an actual criminal yet, but murderers?Rapists?Serial killers?These are all people locked up for committing heinous evil crimes and society would be better off if they did not have any sort or power or quirk, you can even give them a chance to reintegrate into society by removing their quirk and if they turn over a new leaf you can return the quirk to them.It's quite ingenious if I do say so myself, a win-win for everybody involved, we sate your quirks hunger so we don't have to worry about you lashing out, villains are given a chance, and society itself is safer." All Might finished his speech and Izuku was in awe that his idea could be used in such a manner.

"So when do we start?" the boy asked.

"Well young Midoriya as you do need a quirk to hide your own safely.I have gone ahead and picked out a relatively safe one for you to start with.If you are free today after school I can pick you up and we can drive to the location I have detective Tsukauchi waiting for us.I won't spoil the surprise of the quirk you'll be getting as I believe it'll be more fun this way.However you are going to have to prove to me that you can be trusted as I will not be giving you any more quirks for a while, think of it as a trial run, the person in question is set to be released in 4 years.If you can go that long taking no other quirks and giving his quirk back at the end of the trial run it will become a weekly thing, in the mean time to sate your quirk we will have you take your mothers quirk then give it back.Does this sound agreeable to you young Midoriya?" The boy understood how big of a risk All Might was taking for him, Toshinori truly believed in him and Izuku would never let the man down.

"Yes sir." Izuku said resolutely.

"Although first, there is something I wish to test out young Midoriya, can you try taking my quirk?All for One was unable to and I wish to see if your quirk functions similarly to his." Izuku merely nodded and tried to pull at the strings, the wispy things just kept twisting themselves out of his grasp over and over again, after 10 minutes of not being able to take it Izuku gave up."So it really is the same quirk, young Midoriya I must ask who are your parents?"

Izuku paused for a moment not wanting to divulge his family situation but relented."My father works oversees his quirk lets him breath fire, I haven't seen him since I was 4 he left after I was diagnosed quirkless.He hasn't called my mom once in all that time, or if he has she's kept it from me.He still sends us money every month though.My mother on the other hand can pull small objects to herself, honestly I have no idea why I have All for One."

All Might paused in contemplation a moment before responding again."You could perhaps be a great great descendant of All for One it's an amazing quirk in over 200 years no one has any quirk even remotely similar to it.Maybe you were simply lucky and some gene in you let you acquire his quirk, or it could've been a random mutation, such things happen from time to time but since we have no way to tell let's not dwell on it."

"Alright then, now we train!The first thing we will be building is your endurance then when you are older we can begin your real training.We're going for a run young Midoriya.Oh, and I forgot to mention I need to keep you close as part of our deal so I had to transfer you to a new school district, it's a very good private school.One that can be trusted with our secrets, I will be funding your schooling from now on and before you worry about the money do remember I am the Number 1 Hero, I have more money than I could care to do with.Consider it a gift from me for investing in the next symbol of Peace, even though I do not intend to pass my quirk onto you, you will be great regardless my boy."

Izuku started crying really this was the best, All Might was the best, he knew he would need to find a new school and All Might went ahead and did it for him "Yes sir, I won't let you down, however what should I tell my mom?."

"Tell her the truth my boy the number 1 hero is training you to become the best and that your a worthy investment." Izuku broke down even more.

"Geez kid you could stand to cry less ya know?" Izuku threw himself at All Might and started hugging the gaunt skeleton of a man.Toshinori wouldn't admit it but he already cared for the boy.

Toshinori ended up driving Izuku to his new school, he was kind of surprised the number 1 drove such a shitty car but then again I guess it worked as let the man remain incognito.After all who was going to guess that THE number 1 hero drove a beat up old station wagon.

All Might handed him a backpack halfway through the drive, confused Izuku opened it finding it had a ton of school supplies in it and one of his Hero Analysis books, number 10 to be exact."I knew you were going to need supplies as you would likely not have the required materials for this school.All Might stated matter of factly."And Oh why don't you open the first page of that book my boy." Izuku was confused but did as he was told and it was signed by All Might, he couldn't believe how much his life changed in the span of a day.Izuku was truly blessed.

After a good 30 minute drive they came within viewing distance of the school, Izuku was shocked the school was absolutely massive and he realized that he was now in the rich part of town.Izuku imagined the price to go to this school was astronomical.The golden plaque outside the school read "Somei Private Academy" he thought the name sounded familiar but he wasn't 100% certain on that.Izuku and All Might (in his skeletal form) walked up to the gates.All Might hit the comms button next to the gate before they opened allowing the two entry.Apparently you needed a keycard to get in normally.Izuku was shocked at the level of security being employed by this school but he thought I guess that's just how rich people do things.Especially when you can be ransomed off for ridiculous amounts of money Izuku thought to himself darkly.

Finally inside All Might dropped Izuku off at the teachers lounge where he met his homeroom teacher a woman with jet black hair and a very female office worker kinda vibe going on.She introduced herself as Ms. Yaoyarozu, which was a mouthful to say at the least.Apparently Izuku was going to be in the same class as her daughter was in and that she hoped they would get along as her daughter was kind of a loner due to previous situations she had been through.Izuku just nodded and said he would do his best.

Once Izuku finally got to the room he was forced to introduce himself and he managed to royally fuck that up.When Izuku stammered out a name that sounded nothing like his own and a bunch of the students laughed at him for it.Izuku having extremely embarrassing himself in the span of literally 5 seconds.The day went from being amazing to awful as one particularly loud blonde kid with blue eyes shouted about how students of this supreme academy ought to be able to handle himself in a public setting.Izuku just ignored the guy and went to seat where he finally noticed what must've been ms. Yaoyorozu's daughter because she looked like a carbon copy of their teacher, just aged down a lot.Thankfully the girl was one of the few people in the room not laughing at him.

Yaoyorozu?Spoke."Don't worry about him he's an absolute buffoon, rich people that, best class of people that.He looks down on everyone." The girl spit out that last bit, she apparently had no like for this boy.

Izuku was a bit surprised at first that a girl was willing to talk to him since none ever had before."Oh well um thanks...?" Izuku let the end of that drag out.

"Momo Yaoyorozu, the jerks name is Monoma.What about you?" The girl noticed that the small scared green haired child in front of her did not resemble the wealthy elite at all and she briefly wondered how he got into this school.

"Izuku Midoriya, it's nice to meet you Yaoyorozu." The boy beamed at her.

Well he seemed nice enough she thought."Likewise."

The rest of the day passed uneventfully, that is until lunch.Izuku had just procured his favourite Katsudon, before looking around the cafeteria.Izuku saw Yaoyorozu by herself and he decided that she seemed nice enough so he went to go sit down with her."Hello Yaoyorozu, do you mind if I sit here?" Izuku noticed everyone staring at him like he was an idiot.

The girl simply shrugged, he seemed innocent enough then again so did everybody else."You may."

"Thanks, it's super hard joining in the middle of the year when everyone already has their friend circles." Izuku rubbed the back of his head, getting kinda weirded out by the fact the cafeteria had gone nearly silent, Izuku could feel the stares boring into the back of his head.Doing his best to ignore them."So what's your quirk Yaoyorozu?"

The girl visibly shook when Izuku asked that, he backpedaled immediately."Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize it was a personal thing, you don't have to tell me."

The girl looked like she was deliberating something before finally responding."No it's fine my quirk is called Creation, I can make any non organic material as long as I know the chemical makeup and I have enough lipids to generate the item in question." Izuku watched her make a small metal rod appear from her hand.

Izuku froze, that was the single coolest quirk he had ever heard of.Izuku felt the familiar hunger in his chest but he shut that down as soon as it appeared."Holy shit that's amazing Yaoyorozu, there are so many ways to use that.Do you mind if I ask some questions?" Izuku was about to be lost in his world but then he realized people were still staring at him and he could ignore it no longer."Actually instead Yaoyorozu why are they all staring at me?" He whispered to the girl.

"It's because of me most likely, the last guy who tried to sit next to me I kicked in the crotch." Yaoyorozu looked pained as she said that.

"Oh um do I need to worry?" Everyone around him was still staring and it was getting unnerving.

"That has yet to be seen Midoriya.So tell me why did you transfer here from out of nowhere, in the middle of the semester." The girl then shot a look to everyone in the cafeteria.They all slowly but surely returned to their own conversations.

"Oh well I kinda got ... bullied a lot, it wasn't safe for me there." Izuku was hoping he didn't sound that pathetic.

Yaoyorozu look puzzled."Weird who would hurt someone who seems so innocent?It'd be like kicking a puppy."

"Oh well um ya know, it just kinda happened, I tried to stand up for another kid and I refused to fight back so they just decided to use me as a punching bag instead." God please don't let this girl think hes a loser too.

"Well I'm sorry to hear that Midoriya, I'll do my best to make sure no one here does anything like that." Yaoyorozu gave him a look of nonchalance.

"... Thanks Yaoyorozu, so why did you kick that guy in the dick?" Izuku watched as Yaoyorozu sputtered out milk while giggling, Izuku was confused he didn't think he'd said anything funny.

Yaoyorozu looked at the confused face on Midoriya for a moment before swallowing what milk she still had left and answered."I knew it, you aren't part of the upper class are you?We wouldn't be caught dead using any language as crass as that and it's the second time you've done so."

"Oh I see, is there anything else I should know?" Izuku blushed a bit clearly out of his depth.

The girl just laughed."No offense Midoriya, but the etiquette they teach us takes years to learn.Besides I like you more this way, it's way more refreshing talking to someone who isn't so stuffy all the time.Also if you wanted to know why I kicked him in the ... dick.He was acting like a complete fool, he came over and attempted to court me.His advances ... were unwelcome to say the least."

Izuku was quickly learning to not get on Yaoyorozu's bad side but he had a bit of an idea."Is the commoner already being a bad influence on the young miss?We wouldn't want them to corrupt such a noble young lady." Izuku drew out his haughtiest impression.Thankfully his horrid impression of nobility only seemed to make her laugh more.

Momo finally managed to recover from laughing."Well if your going to act like that I may at least give you a few tips.With utensils you start from the outside and move in.As for why we have 10 utensils that's because nobility was stupid."

It was at that moment Izuku realized he was going to like it here.

Izuku was sitting in the passenger seat of All Mights shitty station wagon wondering where they were going today.As it turns out Izuku was going to be having his mind blown a lot today, besides talking to a girl for the first time in years, he was being taken to Tartarus, THE Tartarus.Izuku was pretty certain you had to convicted of least a felony if not outright murder to get landed in here.Wait a minute Izuku realized, what if it all was a lie and All Mights just tossing him in here, no, no, theres no way All Might would do that to him.That meant whoevers quirk Izuku was taking must've done some really bad things, All Might wasn't joking when he they were going to be using his quirk to better society and in some ways he was already acting like a hero.After the like 5th security check and the constant questioning of why a 10 year old child was with the number 1 hero.They found Tsukauchi waiting for them outside an interrogation room, Tsukauchi just gave the pair a nod and greeted them.

"So how are we doing this?" Izuku asked inquisitively.

Detective Tsukauchi responded dryly."The person inside is responsible for 2nd degree murder, and illegal quirk usage, even if the quirk wasn't an offensive one it still counts.They swear it was unintentional but there was evidence to prove otherwise.Since his crime was relatively light compared to the others staying here as well as having a more appropriate quirk, he was chosen for this test.I doubt you have heard of the villain as they were relatively unknown, with no priors and no other crimes.They didn't even earn a villain name, he is set to be released in 4 years having served 16 of his 20 year sentence, only if he remains obedient though, at which time you will return the quirk."

Tsukauchi paused taking a breath before continuing."We have chosen this one specifically for multiple reasons, returning of a quirk after you become attached to it, its relative harmlessness and finally ease of use.For the next 4 years this will be your 'quirk', are you ready Midoriya?" Izuku merely nodded."Good, he is bound and gagged to protect your identity, just walk in and take it as soon as you are ready." The detective held the door open for them and motioned for them to enter.Izuku saw a man in the standard orange jumpsuit used by most prisons with a black bag over his head and cuffs on his hands, Izuku walked up and hesitantly raised his hand toward the person.

The detective then looked at All Might, then back to the child.Tsukauchi was admittedly uneasy with this whole setup he really didn't think loading up a potential new All for One with more and more powerful quirks was a good idea but he had to trust All Might on this.Tsukauchi did however have to admit being able to permanently remove the quirks of inmates would make transporting them so much easier and hopefully with this arrangement the boy is less likely to become the next All for One.

"Just go ahead and do it." The Detective trying to encourage the boy.

"Whenever you are ready my boy." All Might gave the boy a heads up

Izuku finally touched the handcuffed man on the shoulder and that was that, Izuku felt the new quirk flow into him.Izuku was briefly registering pain as he felt his eyes change and when he looked back towards the hero and detective duo they shuddered for a second.Toshinori walked over before putting his hand on Izuku."My boy, are you alright?Your eyes umm changed." He looked to Tsukauchi."I thought you said it would be harmless and easy to use, not change his eye color and hurt the boy."

Tsukauchi realized his error."Izuku are you alright?I didn't realize the reason the man's eyes looked they way they did was because of his quirk."

Izuku just winced as he opened his eyes tentatively, everything felt more alive so to speak he could see so much more and while it was disorenting at first he was adaptly quickly.Realizing the other two were worried about him "I'm fine thank you Detective and All Might, I was just having trouble adjusting to it at first, wait what did you say about my eyes?" Tsukauchi just sheepishly pulled out his phone turning on the camera app and handing it to Izuku.The greenette looked on in shock his eyes had turned completely black, no irises just black sclera, it was kind of unsettling if he were being honest."How are we supposed to hide this?Eye color doesn't just change overnight!" Izuku shouted while panicking.

"Well we can fix that and it's my fault so I'll front the cost, we will just get you some halloween lenses to return your eyes to their natural color." The detective said apologetically.

"Well that's fine then I guess, um so can we talk somewhere more privately?" Izuku asked pointing at the prisoner.

"Don't worry he cannot hear a word we're saying but sure let's go to a different room to talk about this." Tsukauchi said guiding them from the room, as they left a prison guard came in and took the villain away, they simply moved to the next interrogation room over before continuing.

"Well I'd to apologize again Izuku." The detective said sheepishly."I'll be more careful in my quirk selection in the future, don't worry this won't happen again, so tell me how are the eyes?The quirk was called Ultra Sight it lets the user change between 6 different visions apparently there is some strain on your eyes if you use one of the enhanced visions for too long but other than that it is quite safe.In case you were wondering the 6 different visions are Thermal, Radiation, Night, Zoom, BlackLight, and a form of x ray vision that lets you see through walls but it apparently only let you see yellow silhouettes of living things to about 30ft out.All in all, it's a very versatile quirk, it should be perfect for you to practice with." Tsukauchi finished his brief explanation completely unaware of what was about to occur due to the information dump he had just dropped on midoriya

Izuku paused for just a second before exploding into a torrent of incomprehensible words

"omgitssocoolicanusethissomuchandeventhoughitsnotacombatquirkithassomuchversatilityforexampledoesitworklikeregularnightvisionmeaningitdoesntworkincompletedarknesscanichangethesensitivityofthelighthowfardoeszoomletmeseewhatdoesthermallooklike-"

All Might being absolutely blown away by the sight before his eyes, he briefly wondered if his love of quirks is a natural thing or is it because of his quirk's yearning for more quirks?Either way Toshinori needed this to stop."Midoriya my boy calm yourself, can you even breathe?"

Izuku stopped his muttering and meekly apologized."I'm sorry, quirks just really excite me ya know?There's so much you can do with them."

All Might nodded "I can understand, its like gaining a new part of yourself I suppose but do remember as of right now that's a temporary loan.If the man messes up further it may become permanent as it stands you'll only have that quirk until high school at UA where we can reveal the full function of your quirk, that reminds me.Surprise."

Izuku froze when All Might handed him a letter and on it were the two Golden letters U.A., Izuku paused once more before turning his gaze to his mentor."There's no way this is what I think it is right?"

"Just go ahead and open it my boy." Izuku did and it was, it was a recommendation letter to U.A. signed by All Might and the Principal of U.A.. If Izuku wanted, he was already accepted he didn't even have to take the recommendation exam, in fact it is encouraged that he doesn't due to the nature of his quirk.The principal does wish to meet up with Izuku before he can actually enroll at the school to learn about him and his personality first hand.Honestly though, it was more of a formality than anything, for all intensive purposes he has been accepted into U.A. at the age of 10.Izuku can feel just how badly the school/government don't want to let him become a villain, its as if they're saying we'll do whatever you want to help just don't turn into something evil.Which kind of soured Izuku's feelings of accomplishment but he decided to just say fuck it and roll with it, if they are going to give me privileges might as well make use of them.The boy jumped forward pulling the number 1 into an intense embrace thanking the man for everything he's done for him.

Izuku returned home later with the pair of contact lenses Tsukauchi had gotten for him in hand.Izuku sauntered into the living room looking for his mother, he wanted to show her his new eyes in order to let her know it's all going to be okay now.Izuku hadn't gotten the chance to tell her everything that happened after all.

"Mom, I'm back." The Quirk Stealer called into the house, his mother appeared and pulled him into a hug.

"Honey, I got a call from All Mights secretary about him taking you on as his successor, I'm so proud of you honey your going to do great.Oh, what happened to your eyes dear?" Inko stopped speaking only staring deep into the black abyss that were her son's eyes now.

"It's my trial quirk." Izuku responded brightly."I can see all kinds of things now, through the walls, in the dark, great distances, I can even see heat signatures.It's an amazing quirk!"

Inko was a little shocked, she hadn't expected her son to be given another quirk so soon.But after her son explained why she realized why it had happened so fast, Izuku needed to have a 'quirk' to hide his original."Did All Might get it for you?" Inko asked.

"Yeah, I'm already using my quirk to help people mom it's great, I took the quirk of a murderer so he can't use it to hurt people anymore.Oh and on top of that I've already been accepted into U.A. I just have to meet the principal first." Izuku explained to his mother.

Inko did not like that her son was using the quirk of a known murderer but she guessed it was fine since All Might himself had set it up."Oh, Izu i'm so proud of you." She nuzzled into him."In honor of your first quirk we're having katsudon tonight honey."

Izuku just shut down, this is literally the best day of his life no questions asked.

After he finished dinner and went to bed Izuku lay in bed staring up at the ceiling thinking.Alright Izuku, we just gotta go 4 years without stealing a quirk, get caught using any additional quirks he is given, keep up my training with All Might, study my ass off, impress one of the most terrifying beings on this planet, and overall just don't fuck something up.Shouldn't be too hard the greenette thought to himself and he drifted off happily to sleep.

Chapter 3

2 years have passed since the blessing that is All Might has entered Izuku's life and the boy's never been happier, the man has easily done more for him than anyone else has.Izuku wouldn't say it to the man's face but Izuku is starting to see him like a father figure, much more so than his real father.If Izuku could even give that waste of space that title.The Quirk giver's constant endurance training had made him such a good runner, Izuku has a real friend now, and he even finally figured out what he wanted to do for his hero career.The life Izuku had before All Might entered were night and day.

So when the man gave Izuku a last minute text to meet with him at Dagobah Beach in the middle of the night, Izuku didn't hesitate.Izuku threw his shoes on and ran out of the house.Izuku's eyes began humming as they shifted to Night Vision, this way Izuku could travel quickly but more importantly safe on his way to the beach.After all the boy didn't want to get caught by some villain or a homeless person along the way but he did want to get to the beach as quickly as possible.

When Izuku finally stumbled upon the dump of a beach that forever changed his life, he easily spotted All Might after turning off night vision and turning on thermal.The boy quickly walked up to All Might announcing his presence so as to not startle the man."Toshinori!"

The gaunt man turned and gave a simple smile."Young midoriya it is good to see you, even though I suppose I saw you for our run this morning.There have been some ... developments my boy." All Might's face turned sour."Although it is earlier than expected you are needed to return those eyes this weekend.The man in question got out of his 20 year sentence 2 years early for being on good behaviour.I know it was always going to be this way but hey on the bright side we can start having you obtain more quirks sooner rather than later.In addition we will no longer need to have you keep taking your mothers quirk." Toshinori looked rather disappointed by the news for some reason, however Izuku could only see this as positive news.The boy already knew he would lose the eyes but now he can start getting so much more.

"Umm isn't this good news All Might?It means we can start earlier than intended." Izuku was puzzled to say the least.

"True it is, but I figured you would take the news worse.I could tell how happy those eyes made you but if you are not saddened by it.Then I have no reason to be either Young Midoriya." All Might said after re inflating into his Hero Form."If you are okay with it than I will schedule the meeting the same way we did the first time on this upcoming saturday, but it won't be all sad my boy, after all we can immediately get you a new quirk." Toshinori said flashing his trademark All Might smile before deflating."I'll even tell you what, you get to pick this one my boy, I'll have Tsukauchi make a list for you.That reminds me, did you ever figure out why the quirk was so much weaker for you than it was for the original user?" All Might asked.

The boy tilted his head "I had a few theories but I'll need more quirks to test it out to get a final verdict on that, my most likely theory is that my body isn't suited for the quirk and so it's worse for me than it was for the original owner.After all they had their entire lives to adapt to the quirk and I only had it for 2 years.I have a feeling that if I have a quirk for long enough my body will become just as suited to it as the original owner.This is probably especially true for mutation quirks like Ultra Sight, I'm essentially giving my body another limb, a foreign entity.Most people's bodies would reject that, the fact that mine doesn't is already a blessing in disguise.Plus I don't think it'll take as long for non mutation quirks but like I said, this was all just a guess anyway." Izuku threw his hands up dismissively."By the way how's your search for a successor going?"

All Might paled he had truthfully been putting it off as he really didn't want to stop being the symbol of peace but he knew he would have to eventually." It's... going, I know I need to hurry up and find another successor, after all I'm down to 5 hours each day." Yagi paused."You would've been perfect you know that my boy?Are you sure you truly don't want it?"

Izuku just shook his head."I've already told you I've been blessed with the world's strongest quirk.I don't need that kind of power, even if it would've been kind of poetic for All for One and One for All reuniting to become one quirk again.I just think that the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" holds some merit, if I become that powerful I would basically be a god and I don't want that kind of responsibility.I've been thinking about what kind of hero I want to be and I decided I'm going to be an underground hero.It's much better suited to keeping my quirk secret, even though the world will know about my quirk one day, I'd like to avoid there being a face to my quirk ya know?Imagine how annoying it would be if the world knew both who I was and what my quirk was, I'd be stalked everywhere, people would beg and or worship me to give them quirks and I'd honestly rather avoid that."

All Might looked disappointed by the answer but ultimately he agreed."Well my boy just know you would've been great and I still want your blessing for who we give my quirk too." He smiled back at the boy."Alright I've kept you long enough I will see you tomorrow at noon, I'll be swinging by in my car make sure you're ready my boy."

By the next morning Izuku had received a list of death row or life sentence inmates all with powerful quirks.Said list was rather short with there only being 3 people listed on it and Izuku was only going to get 1 to become his first official quirk but that was fine with him.The first was from a mass murderer by the name of Moonfish, he had like 15 life sentences apparently avoiding the death penalty due to mental insanity, he had slaughtered, cannibalized, and ripped his victims to shreds with his super teeth.This quirk seemed very strong but ultimately very just wrong, he knew villainous quirks weren't a thing due to All Might but he also didn't want this quirk that had literally been used to rip people to shreds, so this one is a no go.

The second was a quirk that let him control any fire within a 60ft radius, it had been used by the criminal nicknamed "Combustion" the man had apparently used the quirk to block the exits of buildings after he set them ablaze.Apparently the man had a burning desire to listen to the screams of the dying and damned, at least according to the psychological profile written on this sheet.Izuku couldn't understand the appeal himself, listening to people begging to die while they were slowly cooked alive was not something he was into.At the very least this one was much less off, since the number 2 hero was a fire user himself.

The third and final quirk option was probably the best of the bunch, it was called Jetstream.The person who had it could produce blasts of air from their hands that reached over 200 mph, the user had apparently been using it to blast around stealing and murdering.Apparently the quirk was much weaker until the user had taken the drug 'trigger' and gone on some crazy joyride slaughtering and causing general chaos.She was caught during that non stomp rampage, so she wasn't a serial murderer like the other two but she had clearly just hit a point in life where she said fuck it and went out with a bang.What was that song, "Better to burn out than fade away?" Either way Izuku was going to take this one, mobility and power, it was a very versatile quirk.

All that's left for Izuku is to wait for All Might to arrive, it was around 11:30 so it shouldn't be much longer.Izuku's Mom meanwhile was nervously pacing back and forth, understandably worried about her son going into a prison.

"Mom, it'll be okay, I've been there before and All Might will be with me." Izuku said doing his best to give a convincing smile.

"I know honey, but any mother would be worried for her child walking into a maximum security prison." She looked like she was about to start crying but before she could Izuku just hugged her whispering how everything would be okay and he would have All Might with him.

His Mother thankfully calmed down before the waterworks started."Alright, just please be safe."

"I will mom, I love you." Izuku said that as he walked out the house and into the waiting car of the Number 1 hero.

"We need to stop meeting like this Toshinori-san." Izuku Quipped.

"Pssh my boy, I don't know what you mean." He chuckled smiling back."So have you decided which one you will be taking?You will only be getting one after all."

"Yes I have, I'll be taking Jetstream.The teeth one scares me and fire is just too destructive, I'd rather have the versatility and safety of Jetstream." Izuku replied.

Toshinori Paused while thinking and stroking his chin."Yes, that does make sense, but are you sure you don't want all of them?"

"Is that an option?I mean I would if I could but I feel like I'm still on the training wheels and they dont trust me enough." Izuku mused "I'll just do what I'm told for now and once I've proven myself I'll be more demanding." Beaming with that damned smile he got whenever the boy thought about quirks.

"If it's any consolation you've proven yourself to me so many times over my boy." All Might said thoughtfully."Just keep being yourself and they'll warm up to you." They both decided to spend the rest of the car ride in companionable silence.

The second trip to tartarus was quite like the first, a bunch of questionings and stops where both All Might in his buff form and a small child walked behind him.

They found detective Tsukauchi by the gate this time instead of by the interrogation room, it seemed like he was standing there in order to escort them in.

"Greetings, I hope you're both doing well." Tsukauchi smiled at the pair."Are you ready to return the quirk Izuku?" He looked to the boy as he asked.

"Yes, Sir. Even if its a bit sudden I don't mind I already knew I'd lose it at some point" Izuku tried to give his best determined look.

The detective noticed that his quirk told him the boy was telling the truth and he was greatly relieved, maybe this boy will turn out as good as it seemed like he would."Good follow me then, it will be the same set up as last time, you are simply going to go in give the quirk and walk out, does that sound good?"

Izuku simply nodded following behind the man and they soon reached the same interrogation room they used last time, the detective threw the door open and held it that way for the boy to enter.

Izuku for all his credit simply walked back over to the figure in an orange jumpsuit, he noticed along the way that their build and skin color had changed slightly, eh must just be prison life Izuku thought.Izuku continued walking up to the man and pumped their quirk back into them.The person in question began twitching and freaking out, but the spasms only lasted for a brief few seconds and the figure readjusted to having their old quirk back.Izuku kind of felt bad about doing that considering he knew exactly how it felt.Especially since he was currently in the process of readjusting to having his old eyes back, it felt like a part of him left, it made him sad, empty, like a lost limb willingly given.

Tsukauchi just stood with a smirk, he was impressed the boy showed zero hesitation giving up the quirk.Tsukauchi knew they all had made the right choice right then and there, he strode into the room."Congrats, you've passed the test." The detective said.

Izuku for all his credit just looked confused."Uh, sir what test?"

"Your final test, All Might has been vouching for you all this time and you've finally proven it, you are worthy of becoming a hero.You were so ready so able to just toss aside a power that we quite frankly had no legal way to take back or punish you for wanting to keep it.There aren't exactly any laws about the theft of a quirk and you were given express permission by a pro to use your quirk as well.So we had quite literally no legal standing as to prevent you from just saying "I'm keeping the quirk." but if I'm being honest I'm glad you didn't." Tsukauchi strode over and removed the bag over the prisoners head and then he removed the bindings on his arms and plugs in his ears."May I introduce you to the police commissioner Kenji Tsuragame."

Izuku was blown away, had he just gave the police commissioner a quirk?Sure enough on the face of the dog head before him Izuku saw the same black voidless empty eyes that Izuku had minutes before."I'm still confused, I know this was a test but I'd thought it was a test already?"

The police commissioner spoke "Ah well you see we had to be doubly sure, by forcing this choice on you out of nowhere and making you give up something you were promised to have for longer it would have made more sense for you to lash out and complain and never once did you do so.I am impressed at your strength of will, even though as you put it your quirks call to you, your want to have them but you were so ready so able to give them up when asked.This was our final test, congratulations Izuku Midoriya you have passed and here is your reward, everything.Please take your eyes back first though, they are very uncomfortable for me when combined with my other senses."

Izuku went to take the eyes back, feeling the initial pain recede and the familiar humming return, still not quite understanding what exactly he meant by everything."Sir what do you mean by everything?"

Kenji spoke "If you refused to return it, it would be the end.If you hesitated to return it you would still get the quirk you asked for, but by showing you can overpower your desires, you can have all 3 quirks that were listed as options, its as simple as that, oh and I have one other surprise." The dog headed man reached into his pocket and pulled out a card."It's a provisional license but a special one, you can only act when directly told to do so, otherwise you technically would be breaking the law by using your quirk.I'm letting the first time slide as it was All Might who instructed you to act but from now on it will not matter what hero tells you to act, that being said this is more of a technicality than anything but its a step forward.Congratulations Midoriya you have proven a level of self sacrifice, control, and many other qualities a hero would need."

"But Sir, what happened to the man who I took Ultra Sight from?Doesn't he still need these eyes back?" Izuku was reeling from the news that was being dropped on him.

"Hmph." The dog man said."I would think not, he is currently going to spend the rest of his life in jail.The man in question assaulted and murdered another inmate with a shiv he created out of a toothbrush after said inmate called him a quirkless reject." Izuku felt kind of bad about that since he's the reason the man didn't have a quirk but eh he'd been called a quirkless reject so many times and he'd never killed anyone over it."That happened about a year ago, we apologize for not informing you Midoriya but we wanted the test to move forward as normally as possible and congratulations you've passed with flying colors."

"Congratulations, you've earned it." All Might said grinning at his protege.

Izuku in his dumbstruck state didn't even realize that this was why All Might had looked so uncomfortable the night before.Izuku was being led from interrogation room to interrogation room taking quirks as he went but after the 2nd quirk something started to feel wrong, figuring it would pass momentarily he proceeded to take moonfishes quirk.Instead of the pain passing it intensified greatly Izuku's head felt positively on fire, he wasn't sure what was wrong but it was like a migraine from hell.People around started taking notice but Izuku didn't care he just felt so wrong, he just wanted it to stop, the only solace Izuku had was that the pain was so great it was making him pass out.The last thing Izuku saw was the worried look of his skeleton mentor as he blacked out.

The first thing Izuku noticed was rhythmic beeping, the second the color of the ceiling was now bright white a large contrast compared to dull grey he remembers from before, the third is the massive splitting headache occurring right now.The colors start to form coherent images, Izuku can hear the grayed out voices of those around him freaking out, he hears static and he then blurrily passes once more.

Izuku awakens in a black void, at first there is nothing but slowly as life comes into focus Izuku notices he's not alone.They're four strings in here all twirling and spinning as they entertwined with a black one that looked like a claw.Izuku reached for the one in the middle and it beckoned to his hand flowing out.As Izuku's gaze expanded he noticed there were many more strings frantically moving about above him, the black one looked at them like a predator waiting for it's chance to strike.As Izuku watched the hand like string move back and forth like a snake ready to pounce he was suddenly jolted.

Izuku suddenly sprang up from his bed.This time it's much more peaceful, the searing roaring pain in his skull has receded into a dull throbbing one, much more manageable than it was before, painkillers Izuku figures.Izuku starts to blink his eyes rapidly and attempt to bring the world around him into focus.The last thing Izuku remembers is taking Moonfishes's quirk before everything felt wrong, maybe this is what drove the man to do what he did.Izuku isn't sure but finally the world around him makes sense, he can see a green mop of hair very similar to his own as well as a familiar gaunt man with yellow hair, and Izuku even recognizes a girl with jet black hair and an overly familiar attitude of caring while also not caring.

The image focuses and the boy lets them know he's up "Hi guys." Izuku says weakly.

All 3 of them rush over to the bed to make sure he's all right, but they make sure to only talk in hushed whispers.

"Hey Mom, guess it wasn't alright after all." Izuku joked weakly and the woman began tearing up.

"I told you I didn't like it honey, I'm just glad you're alright." Inko spoke as she hugged her child.

"Midoriya my boy, Can you explain what happened?Once second you were fine the next you were screaming in pain then fainting the next.I was extremely worried." Yagi asked.

"You dumb idiot!First you don't answer my texts for 3 days, then I find out you're in the hospital.Don't scare me like that!" Momo said.

"Sorry guys, I honestly don't know what happened.My head just started feeling like it's on fire and the next thing I know I'm here.It still hurts but it's much less painful than it was.By the way how long have I been out?" Midoriya asked wincing as he touched his head.

Toshinori answers "You've been out for 3 days my boy.You had a fever of 103 degrees but the strange thing is that it was only your head that had the spike in temperature, the doctors had no idea what was wrong.We're just glad you pulled through." The number 1 hero smiled.

"Ah well I see, I'm sorry I worried you all." Izuku paused before talking to his friend."Yaoyorozu can I talk to them for a moment?I promise I'll talk to you after." Izuku smiled weakly at the girl.

"Fine." Yaoyorozu did not look happy.

"Mom, Toshinori, I think it was All for One.I don't know how many quirks I can hold at once, but after each one we took it started to hurt more and more and I think moonfishes's quirk was the final straw, it broke me, I'm honestly glad I fainted when I did because the pain just hurt so much, although I'm strangely feeling much less pain now despite having the same number of quirks.Maybe theres a cool down period, maybe I built a tolerance to it, hmm maybe it's because I used my quirk so much in one day I've never used so many times in one day after, hell I don't think I've ever used my quirk more than twice in a day now that I think about it." Izuku kept muttering to himself while All Might just sweatdropped at the sight.

"Young Midoriya stop it, I'm glad we learned of this limit when we did.It could've happened in a much worse scenario, we can talk about this later, for now talk to the poor girl.Miss Yaoyorozu was so worried about you." Toshinori pointed to the girl who was sticking her head into the room from the hospital hallway, when the gazes of the three people present looked over to her she quickly pulled her head back.

Inko laughed at the girl for being so obvious." I love you Izuku, I'm just glad your okay."

After they left Yaoyorozu was ushered back into the room.

The girl was pouting."You know I'm mad at you.You didn't even tell me you'd be doing something this dangerous, you leave me alone and then get hurt while I know nothing.It feels like you don't trust me and it hurts."

Izuku had not felt this guilty in awhile, and he honestly didn't know how to respond."Umm Yaoyorozu, I had no idea what we'd be doing was dangerous, I'm sorry I kept you in the dark though, it won't happen again, I promise." Izuku said while trying to smile as brightly as he could at his friend without hurting his head even more.

"Izuku do you know why I have no other friends and I hate Monoma?" The heiress asked him.

"No I don't, I have my suspicions though, I just didn't want to pry." Midoriya answered truthfully.

"Well, let me tell you, every single person I've ever befriended has tried to use me in some way, for my wealth, for my looks, for my grades, for my quirk." Well that explains the look Yaoyorozu gave him when Izuku asked about her quirk."You're the first person who hasn't done that and I truly appreciate it so please don't keep stuff like this from me alright?My family is super defensive of me now because of it and I just want to shun everyone away so they don't have a chance to use me in the first place.You're my only real friend, please don't leave me alright?" Yaoyorozu started crying as she said this, finally letting the pain of her isolation out.

Izuku just looked down in defeat and let out a small sigh."I promise I'm not going anywhere, but some of the stuff I know I can't tell you because it's not my secret.That being said I do trust you and I'll give you all my secrets." Izuku beamed at her wildly."This next weekend, lets meet up at a place really special to me, I'll tell you everything I can I promise." Yaoyorozu just nodded back, they shared a small hug and that was that.
