Chapter 6: Questions, Answers, and Lies

Izuku opens his lunch as his back pressed against the gate. 'at least I got her to let me eat' Izuku grabs the piece of chicken and some rice. He eats it as Uraraka was just glaring at him. "Got a name, Miss?" Izuku smiles innocently, trying to show he wasn't a threat.

"Uraraka, you, Mr?" Her tone was snappy.

Izuku raises an eyebrow. 'there is a demon in that girl. I respect that.'

"Midoriya" He holds out his hand. She took it, shaking it roughly. He felt the small pads on her fingers. '5 finger touch, gravitational quirk. Awesome.' He held in his nerd side while letting go of her hand and leans back again.

"So, Midoriya, why are you here?" She sat down across from him as he ate.

"I got chased here by bullies," Izuku mumbles. "I hid inside, but they caught up." Izuku pulls off his jacket, cleaning his blood off his face.

"oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't realize you were a victim, I thought you were with these delinquents that mess with my family" Uraraka quickly grabs the jacket looking for the wound, but it was already healed. Izuku was just trying to clean the blood off.

"It's fine, my quirk can heal me, so I just need to clean off the blood" Izuku puts his food down and grabs a water bottle out of his bag. "so what are you doing out here?"

"I am trying to find those delinquents that are causing my parents so much trouble, they usually hang out around here." Uraraka huffs out as she watches Izuku pour his water over his head and start cleaning his face and neck. His shirt gets soaked along with his hair.

"Hm, I wouldn't go searching for trouble," Izuku chuckles at his own advice. "Oh, do you have the time?" He looks around, seeing the sun was gone from the sky.

"it's 7 pm. Why?" She watches him facepalm, and he starts mumbling up a storm, spitting out information.

'7 pm, it took me 5 hours just to clear that dungeon. Crap, will the busses still be running?' Izuku threw the rest of the water back into his bag as he dries his face. He looks down at Uraraka as she was tilting her head.

"You can mumble pretty fast" She blushes some.

"Yeah, sorry. It's a bad habit" Izuku's cheeks flush some as he rubbing his neck. "Crap, I'm not going to get home tonight," Izuku crouches down.

"U-um, where are you even from?" Uraraka saw Izuku start packing up, so she got up as well.

"Musutafu," Izuku smiles as her jaw drops.

"What the heck are you doing all the way in, Mie!" She yells.

"Haha… long story, but my quirk brought me here," Izuku sighs. "Anyways, I should get going. Maybe there is a bus, or I could run home," Izuku mutters quietly, that seeing his fatigue was at 0. "shit worth a try," Izuku starts to stretch out.

"Wait seriously!?" Uraraka laughs, thinking he wouldn't do it.

"Sure, why not?" Izuku grabs his bag. "Hey, what do you want to do in the future?" Izuku asks softly.

"Be a hero… hopefully, the money I earn can help my parents" She looks back at the empty construction site.

"Well, maybe I'll see you at U.A." Izuku grins. "Also, those delinquents you are talking about, I wouldn't worry about them anymore. See you later," Izuku leaps over the fence again before taking off down the road, leaving Uraraka at the gate.

"he's fast," Uraraka mumbles softly, she shook her head and walks back home. 'what a strange guy.'

Izuku didn't get home until 4 am the next day as he slowly makes his way up the stairs to his apartment. His breathing was rough, and everything was sore.

[Fatigue: 99]

Izuku laughs at the number while grabbing the railing for support. "God that was stupid" Izuku unlocks his door and praying his mother would be at work.

Thankfully, she was. Izuku walks into his room, dropping his bag at his door before crashing onto the bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, it was lights out for him.

Izuku was rudely awakened by his mother around 4 pm. She was pissed or worried, a mix probably both.

"Yes, mom?" Izuku yawns while rolling over, facing the other way. He was still tired but not sore anymore.

[Fatigue: 10]

Hidden Quest Reward

[Item: Demon Castle's Key]

Item Class: S

Type: Key

A key that allows you to enter Dungeon: Demon Castle, Can be used in All Might Tower in Tokyo.

'I was too tired last night to notice since I worked past my usual daily quest, I get a hidden reward…? Is this for all quests or just daily quests?' Izuku mumbles softly to himself. He can figure it out later. 'I need to level up a little more before going after an S class dungeon,' Izuku sighs.

"Izuku, are you even listening?" Inko yells at him.

"No, not really. What was the question?" Izuku sat up, looking at her.

"Where were you last night!?" She questions.

"At a friend's. Sorry I didn't tell you," Izuku gets out of bed, smelling like a gym since he needs a shower. "I need to shower, is there anything you need?" Izuku rubs his eyes as he towers over his mother.

She finally realizes the changes in her boy. He was about 6 foot now and filling out his clothes a lot more. "Are you taking anything, Izuku?" She asks, but it sounds more like she was accusing him.

Izuku stares at her with a deadpans. 'I can't wait to be 18' Izuku thought to himself. "No, mom, I'm not taking drugs" Izuku moves past her. "Don't you have work?" Izuku went to his closet and frowns, seeing all the all might shirts and hoodies. 'god, that's annoying.' Izuku saw his mother looking hesitant behind him. Izuku grabs one of his graphic t-shirts that said 't-shirt' on it and some sweatpants, before going to the bathroom. He needs to sell his All Might merch before he can get new clothes. Izuku thought about an idea before he smiled. 'I wonder if AllMightSideFan wants them. He said he was a hardcore All Might Fan.' Izuku sent the man a message and gave him the details of his collection before placing his phone down to take a shower.

His phone went off a few times before he got out of the shower. Izuku couldn't help but chuckle. He knew he has some of the rarer All Might collectibles, Izuku and AllMightSideFan would go back and forth seeing who had the better things. AllMightSideFan won by a landslide, but Izuku had somethings he didn't.

'You're seriously getting rid of them now?' AMSF

'Yeah, actually met the guy, not that much of a fan anymore,' Small Might 'Izuku sighs, 'I need to change that stupid name.'

Izuku got dressed and walks out, seeing his mother's bag was gone. 'good she's gone.'

"When and Where do you want to meet?" AMSF

"Anywhere, anytime. I need money." SM

"Okay, come to my office," AMSF.

Izuku reads over the address, and his brain stops working for a solid minute.

"That's NightEyes agency…" SM

"Yes, I know it's my agency, I'm in my office now. Just tell Bubble Girl your Small Might. She will let you in." AMSF.

Izuku grips his phone and crouches into a ball. 'I've been arguing and debating everything All Might with Sir NightEye… SINCE I WAS 10!' a sound comes from Izuku's throat that sounds like a dying cat. 'oh… okay… that's totally normal,' Izuku tries to rationalize. He gets dressed in his jeans and high tops. Only wearing his T-shirt since his hoodie got destroyed yesterday.

'okay, be there soon' SM.

Izuku grabs the box of All Might's stuff before leaving his apartment. He makes sure the box was protected the entire time even when he got onto the train. He got some strange looks but ignores them. His foot softly tapping the whole time. 

Once he made it, he just stares at the building contemplating his life… again. He sighs and walks inside, seeing Bubble Girl typing away at the computer. Her quirk was remarkable even if people saw it as weak. 'yet she could kick anyone's ass,' Izuku chuckles before walking towards her with the box.

"Um… Hi. I'm" Izuku's face turning red from embarrassment. "small might," he whispers. She looks him up and down before giggling.

"Oh, Sir, said someone would be coming by. Sir's office is down there. The last door," She points down the hallway and across the bullpen. Izuku just nods and grips the box tightly. He couldn't help it as he looked around as Sidekicks and workers were gathering information and building cases. It was honestly amazing to watch.

Izuku got close to the door and hears two voices inside.

"I know you want Mirio, but I need to find the boy" A tired voice sounds off.

"I understand, but Mirio is ready and already in U.A." That was Night Eye. Izuku knew it. He knocks softly. "Hold on," Sir's voice comes to the door and opens it, seeing a young man with a large box over his shoulder with the words. Sell Later on it.

"Um, Hello, sir… I'm Izuku Midoriya. We talked online," Izuku's cheeks flush, and he tries to stay calm.

"Ah, Small," Sir starts only to get cut off.

"Please don't say that name" Izuku blushes harder, looking away from Sir's face. "it's kinda embarrassing, plus I made that account when I was 7."

"Yeah, I'm surprised because your name does not fit anything about you" Sir stares at the 6-foot man in front of him. Izuku himself needs to look up. '6 foot 7. Geez and I thought I got taller.' Izuku rubs his neck, still holding the box in one hand. "Ah yes, Come in," Izuku walks in, seeing the one man he wishes he didn't. 'All Might'

"Ah, sorry, this is Toshinori Yagi." Sir states. "Toshinori, this is Izuku Midoriya"

Izuku waves halfheartedly before turning to Sir. "I have my entire collection here. Even if you don't buy it all. Would you mind just taking it off my hands? I rather not ride the train back with the box," Izuku puts it down gently next to the desk.

"May I?" Sir pulls out a pocketknife.

"Go ahead," Izuku stands away from Yagi.

Sir opens the box seeing posters, action figures, and some rarer figures still in the box. "This is at least a few million yen worth in itself." Sir Night eye states. "they stopped making these as soon as they were on the self for one day since they messed up. They called it"

"Angry might, they messed up, making All Might frown." Izuku chuckles a little. "I bought it day one since it was interesting."

Yagi himself looks at the massive collection as it was pulled from the box. "Ah, why are you getting rid of it all?"

"Hm?" Izuku looks over. "I just need the money before college starts and a personal reason." Izuku turns back to Sir, who looks like he was in heaven.

"I'll buy it all for 3 million Yen" Sir smiles.

"Deal," Izuku shakes Sir's hand. "I didn't think I would get much from it."

"Perfect," Sir goes back to his desk and cut a check for Izuku. Yagi himself was still looking at all the merchandise Sir now owned. "What will be your new name online, I enjoy your analysis on different heroes" Sir NightEye hands over the check, and Izuku places it in his wallet to deposit later.

"Not completely sure yet. I will make sure to tell you when I make a new account." Izuku smiles. "Well, I need to get this deposited and go shopping," Izuku turns to leave. "thanks for taking this stuff off my hands, Sir." Izuku bows at the door before slipping out.

"Who was that?" Yagi asks while staring at the door. The boy looks familiar, but he couldn't place it.

"Just someone I met online. He is great at analysis" Sir quickly places the merchandise off to the side as he would need to rearrange his office to fit the new merchandise. "Anyways, you are running out of time. Hopefully, once the entrance exams finish, you will see Mirio is the one for One For All."

Yagi just nods softly. "if I can't find the young man by the time U.A starts. We will talk with Mirio." That seemed to satisfy Sir.

Izuku left the bank with a new account in his own name, and the 3 million yen in it. "perfect" Izuku smiles as he had cash that his mother couldn't track now. Izuku still felt tired from his late-night run, so he decides to put off the new dungeon key he got. 'plus, rather not go to Tokyo right after going to Uraraka's place.' Izuku walks back home and sits down on the couch. He leans back, humming to himself. '9 months tell the entrance exam. How many levels can I get raise by just daily quests?'

"I'll go to Tokyo this weekend." Izuku closes his eyes before felling asleep.
