[003] Unexpected Chance Encounter

AN UNNAMED villain had escaped successfully and was now on the run. It wasn't supposed to be hard for the heroes to find the escaped villain but because of its special identity, the villain became hard to find.

And that villain was currently hiding in a dark alleyway. It has been hiding in the dark for an hour now, waiting for some victim it could use to once again mask its presence.

At first, it wanted to go directly to the school to hunt for a captive to be its perfect vessel but it realized how dangerous it would be on its side, so the villain could only do an ambush in an inconspicuous area.

The villain was still debating with himself if he would wait a little more or change the area since it had been waiting too long when, finally, a fish was on the way to bait itself.

It tried to blend itself into the dark alley to see the prospective victim and to it's delight, it felt so lucky and fortunate that it really waited a little more or he would have missed this perfect vessel that was shoving itself into the villain's mouth.

It watched the prey for a little while, studying it like an experimental mouse, before going back to the place where it was hiding. When it removed itself from the dark, the villain's body was finally shown when a small light penetrated the place.

The villain's body, which was made of a small lump of green sludge, appeared in the middle of the alley. Then slowly, the sluggish body of the villain trembles and like it has a body of its own, it moves from below and enlarges itself.

When it was as tall as a young teen's height, it finally stopped expanding. Then, a few moments later, it began to tremble again and, starting below, turned to the form of a human's feet with black school shoes.

The sludge's body continues to reform until it has a foot, with the middle area wearing a familiar schoolboy uniform. Then the hands, neck, chin, lips, cheeks, eyes, and hair transformed into the full figure of an early teenage boy.

Don't think that it was the quirk of the said villain since transforming itself into any form or figure is a natural ability a sludge-like it can do.

As for the real quirk of this villain, it was actually not that villainous when you think of it.

It was the ability to see the person's fated pair. But only to learn what the said pair looks like. As for the information about it, such as its name and location, it is not included.

If the said villain hadn't experienced all the hardships in life just because of his physical identity as a sludge, then it might be able to help those hopeless romantics find their fated pairs, which can honestly earn him a lot of money, by the way.

So to make use of this exceptional ability—of course, from a villain's perspective—it is to disguise itself as the victim's fated pair, make the victim fall on a subspace until it can easily control the victim, and then use the victim's body as it's new host and body.

Being a villain for almost all of its life, this technique became the villain's way of living, and at the same time, it's disguised by pretending to be the victim in front of their families.

Now, once again, it will do the same trick to acquire the new identity and freedom it has been aiming for.

But it seems like it wasn't working on it's current prospects.

"What the hell? Why isn't this kid reacting? Is he that strong-willed?" it asked itself, perplexed.

"Did I make the wrong assumption? Don't tell me, the said person already tried to reject this kid?" the villain mentally asked itself again.

With that thought, the villain, still in the form of Izuku in his early teenage image, didn't know what to feel for Katsuki. Either it will pity the teen or ridicule him.

And since it's using Izuku's copied image, the villain couldn't do any of that and can only proceed with its plan to deceive.

With more intense anger and disgust, the disguised villain started another round of bullshitting.

"I don't think you're an idiot to not understand what this means but I will still clear this up so that it can penetrate well into that petty brain of yours. I hate you. So I am rejecting you as my fucking pair, got that?"

Hearing those words, Katsuki became speechless.

Not because of what 'Izuku' had said, but because of the added curse word in it.

It might have been years since Katsuki had seen Izuku but that can't stop him from knowing the other more than anyone.

And one of those is how Izuku never cursed.

Katsuki swears to God that if the person in front of him is the real Izuku, he believes that Izuku can really reject him without saying any curse with it. That's a big no.

That's why the relief he felt after that realization was just too big for his tense body to relax.

He probably felt so relaxed to the point that Katsuki started to laugh, which had taken 'Izuku' by surprise.

Too surprised that the disguised villain hadn't seen the quirk slowly materializing in Katsuki's palm. It was when Katsuki attacked that the villain realized everything, and it was too late.

"DIE, YOU DESPICABLE HOAXER!"

"Better try to impersonate in your next life, you motherfucker! You can't fool me with your lousy acting! Izuku never cursed and he will never be!"

"And just a little advice: so that you can be a better impostor in your next life, make sure to learn about your target. Stupid!"

After another attack, Katsuki quickly took the chance that the impersonator was still in shock and ran away as quickly as he could.

But the villain quickly forgot about the surprise and when it saw the target already far from it, the disguised villain reverted back to it's original form of a big lump of sludge for the convenience of running after the target.

"You, damned brat! How dare you! Don't let me catch you or you will regret everything!"

"I'll make sure to make you know how I would destroy your pair using your own body! I will make him present in front of me while I will play his body until he's broke physically, emotionally, and mentally, resulting in a subdrop and death. You'll see it with your own two eyes before I also take full control of your body."

"Isn't that sweet? Until death, you two wouldn't be separated."

Because of the villain's convenient body, it quickly captured Katsuki, whom it swallowed whole in it's body. Katsuki tried to struggle and fight with it but the more he struggled, the faster he felt suffocated by the tightening hold of the sludge around him.

And knowing that the other heroes who finally found the villain's location couldn't attack, since Katsuki would no doubt be implicated.

They can only watch as Katsuki fights off the villain for controlling his body when suddenly...

"KACCHAN!"

The real Izuku came running. Despite him being quirkless, he wasn't afraid of saving Katsuki, as he couldn't just wait and watch like the other people and heroes around him.

With his small hands, Izuku clawed at the sludge's body like he was digging. Each movement showed no hesitation and with a clear conviction that he might not have completely save Katsuki but knowing this could help give the heroes time, Izuku was already glad.

"What are you doing here, Deku? Just leave the fuck alone, idiot!" Katsuki tried to persuade Izuku.

"No, Kacchan! Don't worry and just focus on fighting off the villain!"

"Ah, this motherfuckers! Let go, kid or I'll use your body first before this brat!" the villain frustratedly said, seeing the persistent greenette who successfully dug out some parts of it.

Because he was still fighting off Katsuki, he couldn't focus on attacking Izuku.

But because of that short scene, when Katsuki tried to talk with Izuku, the villain got that chance and slapped Izuku, causing the other to be thrown away.

"DEKU!" Katsuki shouted in horror, seeing Izuku crash into the wall. "You bastard! How dare you!"

Izuku coughed up blood but he nonchalantly wiped it out and stood up. He walks back to the position of the villain, staggeringly, and continues on with what he was doing a while ago.

It angers the villain so he once again throws Izuku but before he hits another wall, someone quickly catches him and in a flash, Izuku is standing on the ground a few meters away.

The excited shout of the watching people was loud as a familiar back was seen, quickly taking down the villain while preventing Katsuki from getting hurt or implicated.

Seeing that Katsuki was finally saved, Izuku finally couldn't hold back and lost consciousness.

Izuku never thought that his idiotic act of saving Katsuki would be the event that would change his destiny.

This unexpected encounter between him and Katsuki after years of ignoring each other would actually result in him meeting All Might, becoming his next successor.

Maybe because Izuku was so excited about the fact that he could finally become a hero with a quirk, he did not hesitate to accept the golden opportunity.

Taken by All Might to train as well as to maintain the right body proportion to hold the powerful quirk within Izuku's young body as well as to have better control of it, Izuku went to I-Islands and remained there for a whole three years.

And in those three years, Izuku was able to control fifty percent of One for All like a pro, which amazed not only All Might but also the doctors and scientists who monitor Izuku's body from time to time.

Izuku only came back when it was the time Izuku would be entering UA. It was a month before the UA entrance exam, per Izuku's request, as he also wanted to prepare before he took it.

All Might wanted for Izuku not to take the exam but the young teen insisted. He wanted to be fair with the rest, and he wanted to show everyone that he deserves everything he had and will definitely have in the future.

Izuku was very excited when they returned but was disappointed when he learned that they changed houses, which means he is no longer Katsuki's neighbor.

However disappointed he was, he couldn't face Katsuki at this time so Izuku could only accept that and prepare for the exam.

A week before the entrance exam, All Might came to their house not to visit but to bring him to retake a secondary gender test to see if his his sub classification has changed.

"Is it really possible, All Might-san? I mean, I already presented as a sub; how can I change to a dom?" Izuku asked with doubt.

"To be frank with you, Young Midoriya, but can you still say that you're a sub when you have a body like that?"

Izuku really looked at his body and became speechless.

Just like All Might said, if anyone would just judge based on appearance, Izuku's body doesn't shout a sub-characteristic.

He was taller and leaner, with a few muscles here and there. What more if you lift up his shirt, revealing the toned abdominal muscles.

It was like, his body was tailor made to be a dom rather than a sub because looking back and comparing, where is a sub in that?

Even All Might himself couldn't deny the shock and surprise when he was only reminded about Izuku being a sub after a year of stay in I-Island.

To be honest, when All Might inherited OFA, he also received the amazing power of the quirk changing the physics of the holder. As what they could see when he deactivated OFA.

Even if he compared it back in his old days when the effect of the quirk on him was strongest, it was still very different from how Izuku's body naturally developed.

And talking about it more made All Might feel a little envious so he could only shook his head and explained a simple manner.

"Listen to me, Young Midoriya. I already told you that I was also quirkless before I inherited OFA. But I never told you how I was a sub as well. But after the quirk changed my whole body, it also changed my secondary gender; that's why I became a dom."

"You already know how the secondary gender relies on the person's quirk and OFA is a very powerful quirk. You turning to a dom after is no longer a surprise."

Left with no choice, Izuku once again took a secondary gender test and just like All Might had predicted, Izuku really presented as dom.

All Might was really happy but Izuku didn't show any happiness at all. Which All Might noticed so he asked.

"What's with that face, Young Midoriya? Aren't you happy? I don't have a prejudice against subs being heroes since I didn't hesitate to choose you as my successor but being a dom will boost your quirk more than you being a sub. So cheer up, Young Midoriya."

Izuku shook his head before releasing a small smile. "It's not like that, All Might-san. I am happy, of course. So thank you so much for everything that you have done. It was just..."

Then Izuku looked away as he stared into the air like he was thinking something.

"It was just that the only way I could reconnect with Kacchan was also broken. I am sure Kacchan is a dom, and now that I am also a dom..." Izuku whispered to himself. "Well, at least I am no longer the weak quirkless who doesn't deserve to stand side by side with Kacchan. This can make way for us to at least become friends. I'll be content with that. For now, I guess."
