3 Death of Izuku

As Izuku fell, instead of cursing his fate for some reason he felt a calmness as if fate wouldn't allow him to die this easily. And just as Izuku felt a shadow came and grabbed him before landing back down on to the street. When Izuku looked up to see his saviour he saw an intimidating, lean but muscular man who stood with a distinct hunch, his hair was black and he wore it in a messy fashion that could have draped over his face if it wasn't for his head and mask stopping it. The face was mostly flat as there was no nose, seems to be cut off by something, his eyes were blood red and his tongue was to the side of his open mouth, it was long and was tainted with a lot of small bumps along with it.

"Your the child that ran towards a monster to save another, why are you trying to commit suicide?" - Saviour

Izuku was still distracted by the man appearance but mostly he was distracted by the feeling this man gave unconsciously to the surroundings, it was cold and made people want to unknowingly fear him. The man grunted after not getting a response after a few seconds. Izuku he was finally snapped out of his thoughts got his brain churning, he decided the best way out would be the sympathy card.

"I may have saved him, but what use was there? All Might still ended up having to interfere, and even do I was able to get him out of the sludge, the other heroes still shouted at me and even showed disdain towards me after they found out I was quirkless. What use is there in living in a world where even when I try my best I can't become a hero?" - Izuku

The Saviour just watched as Izuku 'ranted' and stayed silent for a while after he finished. He finally grunted and spoke.

"It's a shame when I saw you on the news and saw your actions I thought you could be someone who will follow the true hero way, but as your quirkless its only natural that the weak will be culled." - Saviour as he started to walk away.

"You can consider yourself lucky that I saved you but I'm leaving to attend to my things. It seems people still haven't noticed, this warped society covered with hypocrisy and vanity. To all who are called heroes, I will make you notice." - Saviour

When Izuku heard this, he understood what kind of man his saviour was, a man with a deep conviction and seemed to be against those so-called heroes.

"[A conviction? Do I have something like that? Although I want to get more powerful, could that be called a conviction?... This is something I'll need to think about later, for now, I should try to keep in contact with this man] please wait!" - Izuku said as he ran towards the man.

"Can I keep in contact with you?" - Izuku said while holding out his phone.

The man looked at Izuku and saw a spark in him, he couldn't help but make a smile, but that smile gave chills to Izuku.

"People show their true colours when they're on the verge of death, there is a desire, a conviction living inside you that still has to sprout. In this society overgrown with fake heroes, where the word itself has lost its true meaning and the criminals who wave their power around idly, I wonder how you will bud. I want to see that." - Saviour

The man grabbed Izuku's phone and wrote in his contact details before carrying on to walk away into the darkness of the back streets. Izuku looked down and saw the details filled out and froze when he saw the name on the contact, 'Stain' the only one Izuku could think of when he thought of the man and name was hero killer stain. On the way back Izuku thinks of how useful the hero killer could be but first, he needs to go home and make some plans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Izuku gets home, he starts thinking of plans to grow stronger, first of all, he needs to train his body, the body was the foundation towards everything and he needed to grow stronger in some way even though it wouldn't be much. He then started wondering why he didn't start training his body from the start after he found out he was quirkless, I mean he didn't have anything else so why did he decide to ignore training his body, all he could say was that he was stupid. He then starts thinking about what Stain said.

"[So what is my convictions? I want to gain power, be strong enough to show this world, this society what they created. Is a conviction how I get to that power? That must be it, so how will I gain this power...]" - Izuku

While Izuku was thinking this he remembered the day where his dreams began to shatter and his days grew cold, it was the day he got told he was quirkless by the doctor, he was crushed after the first sentence so he didn't hear clearly what was said by the doctor after that. He did, however, recall a few words and how the chance of him getting a quirk was extremely low because of some difference in the bones of the foot.

"[Difference of the bones in the foot... That's it!! That's my conviction, my way to gain power. I'll steal it from the people that stole my dream.]" - Izuku

At that moment Izuku came up with with the most outrageous idea that anyone could ever think off in the world.

"[Thats right, if there is a difference between quirkless people then there should be difference in quirks, so I can see how the quirk fits into the body of the weirder of the quirk and how it composes the body, I could change my own body to fit that quirk and in the end, I'll have that quirk. Yes! This is my conviction, how I will get back at this society and world, I'll steal the quirks from other people to grow my power until I'm invincible]" - Izuku

"[But before I can do that, I need to research and learn everything I can about the human body, that would be the human body before it got quirks, the human body when it had quirks and the difference between a quirkless body and the human body before quirks if there was any. I would also need to make sure it was possible and if it was, if there was a limit to how many I can have and for this, I would require test subjects, quirkless and people with quirks. Even if there wasn't a limit to the quirks I would need to pick and choose which quirks would be perfect to get as it would set a good foundation.]" - Izuku

He also thought about how it was probably only possible to get quirks that were body enhancing based, and quirks that were different like manipulating fire or water would require him to have a complete change in his atom structure. He needed to look into the difference between quirks that were the same but varied in power, as some were weak and others were strong. This information would require him to choose the best quirk of that type, or he could go for the easy targets, which would be highly useful as after all he was still quirkless and how was he supposed to accomplish everything in his plan.

For now, he would just set a foundation first and think of everything else later, the foundation would be to train his body, read all the research that was already done on the body by other people, while also trying to enhance his strategic mind as that was what he would probably use to accomplish his aim.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izuku stood on the street, facing someone he didn't want to see again. All might stood in his true form, facing someone he wanted to meet in the last 2 days.

"Iv been searching for you young Midoriya." - All Might

Izuku was shocked that all might knew his name, he put on a confused face which made all might smile.

"You're probably wondering how I know your name, well after what happened with the sludge monster iv been searching for you and even use some of my contacts to find you, I was able to learn a lot about you, but that doesn't matter I'm here for a more important matter. Top heroes have stories about themselves from their school days, most of their stories have one thing in common. Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think." - All Might

For some reason, Izuku felt pain in his heart and his eyes started to tear up, he started to remember his past again.

"That was true for you as well wasn't it?" - All Might

Izuku grabbed his heart and started to cry, he fell onto his knees and more memories started coming to him of his past.

"You can become a hero" - All Might

Izuku started crying loudly, while All Might just watched on.

"Thank you All Might, Thank you...[ If I never heard these words from you, I wouldn't have realised I was straying onto the wrong path... Just kidding. I wouldn't have realised that a big part of me is still like the old Izuku, and to think it was hidden so deeply that I didn't notice. So I truly want to Thank you All Might, from the bottom of my heart, if I hadn't discovered this now it could have become a big problem in the future. Well, for now, it's useful, so I'll only get rid of it slowly otherwise a sudden change of character could get noticed]."
