Pride of Academia

In another universe, perhaps Izuku did not come to the tree, or the tree did not even exist. Possibly he went to training and improved himself a little bit better. In another universe, he probably did not get All Might's attention and became a policeman and married a decent woman. But in this universe. An Axe has emerged Its owner's essence still intact even for thousands of years, and it answered one of the child’s questions. A single moment can alter many things in life.

[ ] - Buffed All Might

'Here it is! The All Might Limited Edition pencil case! I got it-' he saw another hand reaching for it and saw the face of the other person. She is a young woman with large teal eyes and orange hair tied into a ponytail that hangs from the other side.

"I-I-I...You can have it…." Izuku has nowhere to go and gives up the limited edition which pains him greatly.

"No! You can have it! It's just I was shocked for a second there." he took another look at her and she forces the pencil case on him.

"I thought you wanted that pencil case. What's the commotion the-" he saw a blonde guy with blue eyes and with pupils looking at him aghast.

"You are too loud, Monoma. Look everyone here is looking at us." another one pops out but this time with indigo hair that sticks out and purple eyes with large dark bags beneath them.

~Shinso's Point of View~

Shinso saw Itsuka interacting with another customer and by the looks of it they both liked the same product but it is the only one remaining stock. Panicking is one thing and it does attract attention but this is insane he noticed that many people are looking. Too many people.

"They are not looking at us but him!" Monoma shouted and when Shinso looked at him he has one word to use fatal.

'Does his quirk allows him to become this handsome?'

"M-M-Me? W-Why me? We were just..ah..uhmm…" this guy who seems to attract many even Itsuka it seems. She was taking her time to look at him and she can hardly blame her. The guy did look fatal and they were quite causing a commotion here. When he said commotion he means the other guy who is unnatural.

"It seems we were going for the same pencil case but I just decided to give it to him." Itsuka smiles with a slight blush. He knows Itsuka is not an easy woman who falls in love with just anyone so… 'There is something wrong here but I cannot point it out.'

"This is yours! I can choose another pencil case." he was disturbed in his thoughts when the guy speaks out.

'With that looks that is borderline cheating why is he that shy?'"No! No! Its yours! Besides it's too childish for U.A. High." Itsuka told the guy and he noticed the guy flinched when U.A. was mentioned.

"You are also going there?" Shinso tried asking when he saw the visible reaction of this guy.

"Y-Yes, it seems I passed." he sure is nervous around us but he should be steadier not just because of his looks but his body build he is pretty buff.

"What course are you on?" Monoma interjected between the two.

"Hero cours-" Izuku was about to continue when Monoma interrupted once again.

"What class?" Monoma was pushing it and he saw in his peripheral vision that Itsuka was not pleased.

"Uh…Uhmm... A-class" when Midoriya tried answering Shinso tried soothing things out when he sense the tense atmosphere. Both Itsuka and Shinsou knew that Monoma could be competitive and he does things out of proportion.

"It seems we have been rude to you." he says while looking at Monoma who is seething. "This is Itsuka Kendo, Neito Monoma and I am Hitoshi Shinso." he greets him and offers his hand for a handshake when Monoma steps in and offered the handshake himself.

"My name is Neito Monoma from Class-1 B" he was going to see what this kid's quirk.

"Hold his hand and he will copy your quirk" the guy was about to shake his hand and quickly retracted it when Itsuka said it.

"You don't want me to know your quirk, kid?" Monoma was pretty pissed. "Having that A-Class title does not mea-" he was hit by a huge hand used by Itsuka.

"T-that's not it. My quirk is dangerous to the ones using it.." Shinsou raises his eyebrows here and the guy continues in his talk.

"My name is Izuku Midoriya and my quirk makes me stronger but with a cost." he sees Midoriya clench his fist and looks at the three of them. He takes a deep breath and explains to them what the cost is when using his quirk.

'This guy is too trusting and it's a good thing Monoma didn't touch his hand or there would be many casualties. Losing a limb or an arm to use a quirk is just plain ridiculous.' Shinsou gives his analysis on Midoriya.

"So you are that guy... The one who punched that robot and sent it crumbling down and while at it why do you look so different except for that green hair."Monoma looks at him but this time with quite friendliness.

"We-well..it's a side effect of my quirk" it seems he will not go into detail with this one and Itsuka picked up on that.

"Midoriya, Nice to meet you. My name is Itsuka Kendo as stated by Shinso." she reaches her hand and makes it huge showing her quirk to him.

"My quirk is brainwashing. Not really a good quirk to become a hero do I? My class is 1-C unlike these two." Shinso says casually.

"I see. Brainwashing.. is an excellent quirk to capture criminals and it's not like we need to have raw strength to become a hero. A hero is a person that meddles when someone is in need and it doesn't matter what your quirk is. It is how you use it." Midorya grumbles and says many things incoherently after that statement and Shinso hears something like "That quirk would be good in interrogation" or something.

"Once again, Midoriya, my name is Hitoshi Shinso and it was nice meeting you." he was trusted by Midoriya and he was not one of those people that seems to see his quirk linking it to be abused rather he sees it as an advantage to become a villain. It speaks of him in volume in that regard when it comes to seeing how heroes are.

"My name is Midoriya Izuku. It is nice to meet you." Izuku flashed a million-watt smile since they have been causing a commotion he heard many sighs and woos within the department store. Itsuka was trying hard not to show emotion and she was failing badly.

"Izuku! I finished buying my things. Are there your friends?" he saw a black-haired raven beauty and she seems close to Midoriya because of the use of his first name. He got chills at his side and he knew where it was coming from.

"Y-Yes! These guys are Shinso-san, Monoma-san and Kendo-san."Midoriya introduced them to Yaoyorozu-san and the three nodded.

"My name is Yaoyozoru Momo. What seems to be the problem here?" she takes her surrounding to be looking at this side of the department store and on the way here she already noticed it's Izuku. The amount of women is staggering.

"It seems Midoriya has the same taste as Itsuka." Monoma said while pointing his thumb to Itsuka.

"We do have the same tastes that's why Midoriya-san you should have this." Itsuka grabs Izuku's hand and puts the All Might pencil case.

"T-thank you." Izuku bowed down as an appreciation and Shinso saw Yaoyozoru on his side smiling. Still, when the hand contact between Itsuka and Midoriya was continuing, he saw something like jealousy and knows that Itsuka knows it.

"Hey, those two… They are testing the waters, aren't they? Look Midoriya seems unfazed." Monoma whispers to him.

"Instead of unfazed he just seems not to realize." he sees Monoma nods his head. He was thinking about how to bail out or just got out of here.

"Yeah, it seems you two have the same taste, Kendo-san. It seems we have the same taste as well." Yaoyorozu steps forward and puts her hand on Midoriya's shoulder.

"It seems so? I am interested but not to the point of destroying things." Itsuka might have started to like this cinnamon roll called Midoriya but not enough to compete with an actual girlfriend. Heroes have morals after all.

"They are also going to U.A. and it means we are all going to go there." Midoriya cheerfully says and both women look at each other.

"Let's settle this for another day. By the way, I am Yaoyorozu Momo." she stands in front of Midoriya and offers her hand although she can feel the resignation of Kendo-san it does not mean that she will not be putting her guard up besides Izuku is defenseless as a puppy.

"I am Itsuka Kendo. Let's be good friends, Yaoyorozu-san." Itsuka grabs Yaoyorozu's hand and both of them clenches it tightly.

"We should be going IZUKU. Inko-san might get worried if we stay too long." This is the first time both Monoma and Shinso saw how Itsuka got pissed. Sure, sometimes she scolds Monoma but this was not its level. This on another league and her forehead twitching is recognizable.'This is not the usual Itsuka.'

"Midoriya-san we should exchange our numbers. We will become schoolmates after all." Itsuka presses and Midoriya shyly offers his phone and both of them exchange numbers. This time it was Yaoyorozu who was pretty pissed.

"War between women is bloody and I thought being a hero was hard." Monoma whispers to Shinso while looking at the bloodbath happening to the school supply station.

"I don't want to get between those two besides we already have that stopgap measure if something happens." He shifts his eyes to Midoriya who looks ridiculously happy.

"This is my second time that my number getting taken." Midoriya looks happy and Itsuka was preventing herself from shouting. It was not that hard but there is already someone guarding him and already in a relationship.

"Second?" Itsuka ponders and Midoriya answers.

"Momo-san was my first." The chills coming from Itsuka went unabated this time even Yaoyorozu was keeping her distance while smiling. Shinso was really sure something is happening because he has been with Itsuka for quite some time and he knows she is rational with decision-making and has serious strict discipline. So her being jealous of a guy that was taken was somehow not her.

"Are you two already dating?" Itsuka suddenly asks Midoriya with a serious face.

"M-m-me and Momo-san?! No! No! W-w-" he gets interrupted when Yaoyorozu steps in but this time puts her arms around Midoriya's shoulder.

"I just knew his mom and she made sure I keep him safe, you see." Yaoyozoru was behind Midoriya when she latched onto him. She was smiling beautifully and Shinso was sure if they met Yaoyorozu first before Midoriya then Monoma would try to hit on her. Still, with a huge enemy such as Midorya those thoughts were dispersed.

"Ho… I will contact you the next time, Midoriya-san." Itsuka was defeated but she gave a slight threat to Yaoyorozu and her opponent knows it well.

"I-I see. I was glad meeting you, Kendo-san." Midoriya waves his hand. Both me and Monoma gave the nod to him. When we are finally out of sight I saw Itsuka burning with passion like how she wanted to become a hero.

"That will be a huge battle over Midoriya and I know Yaoyozoru is not the only one who will be your opponent." Monoma puts it bluntly but Itsuka was smiling it was the smile of a girl that is fighting against the odds but was willing to fight it out till the end.

"I know. In the end, I will win. A hero could get out of a tight pinch and that is the thing that I will do." her smile changes to a feral one and this time it was predatory-like.

"I wish Midoriya the best of wishes. He will need it the most." Shinso whispers to Monoma and Monoma deeply agrees. ' I know something is up with Midoriya but I need to learn more. He attracts women so much at an extremely unnatural level. It might become a problem in the future especially if he becomes a hero and will always be on the television.'

~Momo's Point of View~

After the encounter with the trio, Izuku and Momo went back to shopping as if nothing happened. As if. She needs to get ready at a moment's notice and they are going to school within a month and a half that time next week Izuku will be at U.A. to start controlling his quirk. When the school starts it will be more of a riot than expected.

'Kendo-san was defeated but she has those eyes of her tells otherwise and when she knew that I was not in a relationship with Izuku it became more intense. I notice I am too soft. I am pretty sure if it was other women they will throw themselves at Izuku. I will still win no matter what.' when both started walking after the trio Momo grabs Izuku's hand and until they went to his house. She didn't notice and was thinking of many ways to prevent the same thing from happening while Izuku was blushing mad and both of them took Momo's car to avoid any more incidents.

"Milady, can we take a picture of you and Midoriya-san?" her driver asks and saying it was an order from her family. Izuku readily nods and both of them in the picture are kind of awkward but their hands holding on together and both blushing cutely.

"Sorry, my father and mother can be overprotective at times." Momo bows her head to Izuku.

"It was nothing! I understand where they are coming from." he flails his hands in front of him and makes Momo stand up.

"So this is it… The next time we meet will be at U.A. since All Might and the Principal are both managing your time at that point." Momo reminded Izuku and she was happy for him but she wanted more of his time. It was selfish but it's just...

"Yes, I will contact you every day then." Izuku smiles at her and her body was getting closer to Izuku unknowingly. She has many competitors at her side and she was not willing to lose. Their faces are getting closer and Izuku was also doing the same thing and forgot something…or someone.

"Ahem.." the driver was still there and he stood there looking at the teens. Both took a step back quickly and said goodbye to one another without looking at each other's eyes.

The moment they got the picture at her house, both of her parents looked how close they are to one another and when they see Momo she needs to get ready. For interrogation. Her father was doing this for protection while her mother was doing this for fun.

'We almost kissed. It was….' she squealed while turning around and about many times on her bed. She was getting closer to Izuku and it was thanks to the competitiveness of Kendo-san.

'Maybe I will thank her next time.." Momo concocting her villainous plots for the heroic Kendo.

In a certain clinic at U.A., the ones who are in charge of Midoriya are having a meeting. Recovery Girl studied the pheromones that Midoriya is giving off. It needs to be clear right now or it will be a problem later.

"I never stated it quite clearly so I will start with it now. Pheromones are chemicals produced by animals that change the behavior of another animal. It is a behavior-altering agent in Midoriya's case it is potent to women especially around him and at his age. The reason might be because the pheromones he is releasing or we can call it 'scent' is targeted around his age but do not worry too much about it while it feels like brain control its not." Recovery Girl sees All Might raise his hand to ask a question and she validates it by nodding. All Might is on buffed mode because he just had a meeting with the other heroes about the hero killer.

[What do you mean it's not brain control? It controls their emotions and if it's not treated quickly Midoriya-shounen might be a problem for many reasons.] All Might was scared. The last time when Midoriya's mother asked them for help, the number of stalkers they had was insane.

"It does not control your emotions rather it releases your constraints. If somebody loves Midoriya it means they will go all out and sometimes the rational department shuts down. Liking and loving are not the same after all." Recovery Girl was afraid of liking evolving to loving and she cannot do anything about it if they put a costume for Midoriya to encase his scent it means he might not be able to breathe or they can do it but Sunshine will surely hinder that with its immense heat.

"How about we put a protection squad around Midoriya?" Nezu suggested.

[Protection squad?] All Might cannot comprehend what Nezu is talking about.

"Choose a specific amount of women around him to protect him from other women. These women might fall for Izuku but it's a risk we are willing to take."Nezu shows a cruel smile while it is going to be an effective solution it's going to be interesting too.

[That's…] All Might thinks of this idea as ridiculous but it is the most efficient one rather than isolating him. He promised his mother to make Midoriya better not only as a hero but as a person.

"There you have it a solution, I'm gonna go now." As Eraserhead was getting up and always looking tired as always Nezu spoke up.

"It will be your class, Aizawa-kun." When Nezu spoke those words the face of Eraserhead fell and both All Might and Recovery Girl laughed.

"Well, that settles it. Meeting adjourned until an update comes up." Recovery girl ends the meeting as it is and as bothersome Aizawa also thinks that Nezu made the right decision. He is the most effective hero since he can make Midoriya's quirk useless.

A week passed and Izuku said goodbye to his mother. Instead of crying, they both accepted it very well. Inko comes into terms with Izuku and herself. Izuku comes to terms with his powers. He went to U.A. and right now he was in front of his Teacher, All Might along with Eraserhead and the principal. He is going to suggest something.

"All Might, can I choose the name of my quirk?" Izuku ponders and All Might answers to him.

"It is your quirk after all... So anyone here disagrees?" Aizawa shakes his head and Principal Nezu gives his nod for affirmation. Izuku tells the name of his quirk.

The real name of it.

"I want to call it Sunshine."

3159 words. Just a little bit more for the rankings. So after talking with the author last time we decided to release chapter once a day except for weekends so he can stockpile chapters so expect 5 chapters a week. That's all, Ciao!
