[001] Turn of Events

BECAUSE OF the decreasing rate of birth around the world, many scientists wanted to solve the low birth rate by combining some animal genes in a pair of men and women. The experimented couple had their first sex after the experiment, and a year later, they had successfully conceived a healthy baby girl.

Seeing the success of the experiment, almost all the couples from around the world accepted it, and so the birth rate finally increased. In the first years of the success of the experiment, all the remaining people, whether married, coupled, or not, also underwent the same experiment.

But soon, when the first baby born from the first experimented couple turned into eighteen, the problem finally appeared. A gene imbalance occured to the gene of the child in which the human gene was slowly getting overtaken by the animal gene until the two genes completely mixed where the animal gene became more dominant.

This gene imbalance cause another imbalanced on the infected child's hormones. Since the animalistic genes had overtaken the body, some animal instincts had appeared uncontrollably.

Such as the animal's releasing of scent when owning a territory or mating, the dominating and submissive traits, and that special mating bond between animals which they called now as pairs had become a part of the new human evolution.

And so, this classified secondary gender of doms and subs was the first evolution of humans. Everyone thought that this human evolution was the biggest and the last one but that was a big mistake. Since a bigger one once again shock and shake the entire world.

It all started in Keikei City, China, when a piece of news about the birth of a luminescent baby appeared that shocked the entire world. And such abnormalities have been slowly discovered in all arts of the world since then.

Although up until the current era, no one knows why it suddenly occurred, as they only treated it like the biggest evolution happened to humankind. And soon, these abnormalities became what is normal in the current society.

The so-called abnormals are people who acquired superpowers that can only be found in the fictional books—invisibility, flight, super strength, control of different elements, etc., which were soon called quirks—and became what they called superhumans.

This caused a big rift in human society as some of the superhumans turned evil and became dangers to the world. And so, a new profession appeared.

To control and subdue the rampaging superhumans, another superhuman fought with the bad guys and became heroes who would fight against evil superhumans, which were clichély called villains.

Among the ninety percent of the world's population who had quirks, thirty percent became pro-heroes. While ten percent decided to be part of the Villlain side and the rest became not-so-ordinary citizens.

As for the remaining ten percent out of the one hundred? They are the people who was supposed-to-be normal before the old era but now become abnormal just for being quirkless—

KRINGGG~ KRINGGG~

The loud sound of the bell's ringing echoes in the whole corridor and penetrated to all the closed rooms which cut off all the teachers in the middle of their discussions especially when all the students started to cause trouble as they knew that the bell indicates that it was now the end of the class.

"Okay, okay, I will dismiss you all now," the history teacher helplessly announced after turning off the big television playing a summary of world history.

As a teacher of eight-year-olds, it was hard for her to control the students when they were full of naughty future doms when she herself was a weak sub to begin with. So despite her desire to finish the documentation only a few minutes before ending, she had no choice but to cut it short to let go of the hyperactive students.

"See you all on Monday. I will be looking forward to hear what you all had presented. Class dismissed."

And with that, the students hurriedly rushed out of the room. The young teacher could only shake her head as she too took her leave at the other door reserved for the teacher's entrance and exit to the classroom.

This only leaves a few students countable from a pair of a hand who were either assigned as cleaners or just taking their time to fished all their belongings.

"Hurry, Deku! I will leave you alone if you're too slow!" a young kid with unkept blond hair rudely said to the smaller one.

The blonde boy stared impatiently at the other kid with his red and sharp eyes which made the already panicking boy with green hair just recklessly shove his remaining things inside his All Might bag.

"I-I'm done. I'm done, Kacchan. Don't leave me, okay?" the young greenette hurriedly said.

His green eyes stared pleadingly towards the blonde kid. His perfectly scattered freckles on his cheeks became obvious which added more cuteness to the young greenette. 

The young blonde looked away with a scoffed. "Then let's go! What are you still waiting for in a daze there?"

"Oh, yes, done, Kacchan! Let's go!" said the greenette with an innocent smile.

He could only receive a cold snort from the blonde as he turned around. "Make sure to walk faster with your short legs or I will really leave you, Deku!"

"Hmm! Noted, Kacchan!"

If the innocent greenette just looked at the blonde's ears, he would notice the suspicious red appearing on both ears. Sadly, he was just too innocent to see that, as always.

"Hey! Who told you to walk beside me?" Young Katsuki scolded Izuku, who quickly walked side by side with him.

Afraid that Izuku might see his still blushing face, Katsuki hastened his steps, overtaking the shorter one with only a few steps.

So he hadn't seen how the beaming face of Izuku saddened as his steps slowed down. He was so sad that he even had his head lowered while walking.

And Katsuki also realized it when he could no longer feel the other behind him. He stopped and looked back and there he saw how far he was from Izuku.

He frowned as he waited for the greenette to look up at him but the other did not bother. Izuku continued walking until he bumped into Katsuki, who was already waiting impatiently.

Izuku subconsciously held his forehead as he looked up and he almost hiccupped when he was welcomed by an irritated Katsuki.

"K-Kacchan..." Izuku called out with teary eyes.

In answer, Katsuki flicked Izuku on his forehead before turning his back.

"You really are a klutz. Look where you are walking, dumb Deku!" Katsuki reprimanded without looking back. "And I didn't say that you must walk away from me. What I mean is to walk behind me, idiot Deku!"

And that was enough to brighten up Izuku once again. He quickly followed Katsuki, who once again walked ahead and this time, he made sure to walk behind closely. Not too close that it almost looked like he was walking beside him, and not to far either.

"I will always follow Kacchan!" Izuku announced with a wide grin.

And he was answered with a dismissive snort. But because Katsuki was walking ahead, Izuku could not see the satisfied grin plastered on the blonde's face.

They walk back home with a little banter here and there until they finally reach the front gate of Izuku's house. Not far from there was Katsuki's house.

"Kacchan, here is my house. Thank you for walking me home again."

"I know it's your house, Deku! You think I am dumb like you?" And with a haughty look, Katsuki added. "And I didn't walk you home. How many times should I remind you that it was only a coincidence that your house is the first one to appear than mine?"

Izuku could still hear Katsuki grumbling, which made the former chuckle. Katsuki was so focused on hiding the fact that he was blushing that he didn't hear that.

"Okay Kacchan, if you say so."

Katsuki glared at Izuku. "What? You think I'm lying, nerd?"

Izuku hurriedly shook his head. "I didn't mean it like that, Kacchan. Just...see you on Monday, okay?"

"Tss. Whatever. Just get inside already."

"Okay, Kacchan. Bye!"

Izuku tiptoed; his hands were both on Katsuki's shoulder for support. Then, like a touch of a butterfly, Izuku kissed Katsuki on the cheek before turning away and running back inside the house.

Everything happened in such a blur that before Katsuki could react, Izuku was already inside. He left Katsuki outside their house, dumbfounded, as he slowly put his hand on the side of his cheek that was still warm from Izuku's kiss.

"Huh?" he foolishly asked.

Then, as fast as the disappearance of Izuku, Katsuki finally realized what had happened. And when that happened, Katsuki's face turned like a steamed tomato, with smoke methaporically oozing above his head.

Turning away, Katsuki bolted away from the scene with incomprehensible grumblings, blaming Izuku for making him like that.

Inside Midoriya's house, Izuku was served snacks by his mother before they decided to come to the clinic, where they appointed a checkup for Izuku. As the teacher said before dismissing them, it was the day that they must present their secondary gender.

So after changing into another set of clothes, Izuku and his mother first went to the clinic, which specializes in secondary gender, since it was also the one they had scheduled for today.

"Now, don't be nervous, kid. This won't hurt, I promise," the male doctor said when he noticed the fidgety Izuku sitting on the stool in front of him.

To show that he wasn't lying, the doctor did all the tests with such proficiency that Izuku didn't realize when the test started or how quickly it finished.

"The result will take an hour to come up. You can attend to other appointments first, Mrs. Midoriya. We can also just send the result to the email you left," the doctor kindly reminded her after the test.

"Then, just send us the soft copy of the result. We'll just come back tomorrow for the original copy, Doc. Thank you!" Inko said.

"Thank you, Doc!" Izuku happily said his goodbye.

"How was it? It didn't hurt, right?" Inko asked Izuku as they walked towards the parking lot.

Izuku shook his head. "The doctor was so good that it didn't hurt at all."

"Aren't you good? Then how about I make you something as a prize?"

"Katsudon!"

Seeing the excited son, Inko could only laugh. She wasn't even asking what the others wanted, but Izuku already had an answer.

"Fine, okay. Let's have katsudon for dinner then."

The next day, Izuku didn't show up in front of Katsuki like he always did on weekends, as he wanted to surprise him with the result. So following their schedule for Sunday, the mother and son pair once again went out to another clinic.

"Are you sure you didn't want to see your secondary gender test result?" Inko asked Izuku for the second time.

She actually received the result an hour after they got home yesterday and she also knows it. But Izuku wanted to know it together with the result of his quirk test so Inko could only hold the original copy they took before coming to the other clinic.

"Just follow what the doctor will ask of you, okay, sweetie? This also won't take longer and might be faster than how you took your secondary gender test," Inko reminded Izuku before her son entered the room.

Unlike yesterday, Izuku wasn't nervous. He trusted his mother's words so he was in full smile when he entered.

Unfortunately, unlike how smooth the test was yesterday, today seems not to be the day of Izuku, as what was supposed to be a fifteen- to twenty-minute test turned into an hour. And that was enough to make Izuku nervous.

When he came out of the test room with the doctor, who already had the result in her hands, Izuku could no longer take the suspense, so he quickly ran towards his mother's embrace, silently crying.

"Mom!"

"W-what's wrong, Doc?" Inko asked with dread, seeing the look on the doctor's face.

The female doctor looked at the crying Izuku before looking back at Inko with a sigh. "I am sorry to say this, Mrs. Midoriya, but, I already did my best to make sure that I wasn't making any mistakes in the test but everything resulted the same. Your son...he's quirkless."
