3 Discovering an unappreciated aspect of Alchemy

Third Person POV

Ichigo Kurosaki did not expect this outcome when he casually spooked All Might. When All might had transformed in front of him he was dumbfounded. He was laughing in his heart about his successful prank but never did he expect All Might to recognize him because after publishing his theories all those years ago he did not make any more public appearances.

When All Might asked Ichigo for a favour he already expected him to ask about training Midoriya, even though he really wanted to torture-train Midoriya, he wanted to see how far he could push and that if he could get the secret of one for all out of him. and low and behold, before he could even push, Midoriya spilt his guts.

The look of regret on All Might's face was funny, then All Might Give Up and Spilt the Beans. I now have a 10 hour a day side project as Midoriya, Since he decided to do 10 hr days of training, he needed to skip school when he asked Ichigo about Ichigo's decision to bribe the principal to let Midoriya test out early. When I tutored Midoriya he cleared the tests no problem.

Since then for the next 8 months as I kept developing Midoriya's body, I decided it would be a lot more efficient use of time if I trained him in Martial Arts as well. So it was an incredibly satisfying 8 months of torture-training with Midoriya. Even though it was incredibly tough I had 'cured' Midoriya of his mumbling condition by showing him a mental technique with the same method for thinking his thoughts without speaking them out.

"Yes, your training is over now Izuku"

"Hai, Thank you for training me Ichigo," said Midoriya with a bow.

*Sigh* After spending 8 months with Izuku he kinda got over his dislike of Izuku, when one got over all his problems he was kinda like Naruto, he had his own talk no Jutsu and everything.

All it took was 8 months of relentless physical torture, some psychological help, Mind arts training, Repeated reminders and oh did I mention Psychological counselling. Hmm, When you put it that way he was kind of a big mess but now with Ichigo's help he is kinda an improved person.

"You did great job Ichigo-shonen, and you too Midoriya-Shounen"

"Now I want to see how many days you will clear the beach."

"Hai Toshinori-sensei."

So it took only a week for Izuku with his newly trained body to clear out all the trash, that was of course with Ichigo's help with body healing and massaging.

"I am proud of you Midoriya-Shounen, Now you are ready to inherit my power here eat this," said All Might as he passed a hair to Midoriya

"Eh?" said Izuku confused

"To pass on my quirk you need to digest my DNA," said All might

"Ah, okay then," said Izuku as he ate hair gagging a little in the process

"Ok, but I don't feel anything," said Izuku

"It takes a few hours," said All Might.

"All might? Isn't it dangerous if you can get the quirk just by stealing DNA?" said Ichigo knowing full well it doesn't work like that, he just wanted to assuage Izuku

As expected Izuku immediately tensed up but All Might replied: "That is not a problem it is only transferable if you really want to transfer it."

As Izuku relaxed, Ichigo further distracted him by talking about Manga, even though Izuku was talking about his Manga it was still fun to talk with him. It was around an hour later when Izuku said that he felt the power of one for all.

"Toshinori-sensei I can feel it, it is like an egg inside a microwave"

"That's a unique way of describing it. Do you want to test it?"

"Hai, Please teach me how to use it Toshinori-sensei."

"Ok, then squeeze your buttocks and then yell inside your heart Smash and punch it with all of the power you have," said All Might.

"Hai Sensei."

Even though Ichigo knew that it was not going to end well for Izuku he still wanted to see one for all at full power in real life so he let it happen. Izuku punched at the ocean while yelling smash.

Then immediately there was a huge shockwave with the sudden change in air pressure. Ichigo had to dig his heels into the sand to stop himself from falling back and then the wave split open into two for like a km and then slowly came crashing back.

It would be lying if Ichigo said he didn't feel jealous at that moment, he even felt that if he should have come before All Might met Izuku but then he heard a scream. He turned around to see Izuku kneeling on the ground holding his arm and crying out in pain.

He quickly got to first aid Izuku, "All Might, his hand is completely broken and he has to be taken to a hospital."

"No need, Ichigo-shonen I will take young Izuku to recovery girl at U.A"

"Can I come too? I always wanted to see her quirk in action."

"Then quickly hang on to me Ichigo-shonen"

As I hung on to All Might I looked to the ocean which was still having the after-effects of the punch with it having mini whirlpools everywhere. He unknowingly clenched his fist, and one day he too would have such power.

Quickly All Might started travelling. It took only 3 minutes to reach U.A. This was also because Midoriya was injured and an unnecessary strain might damage his arm.

"Recovery Girl, Midoriya-Shounen had an accident please help him."

"Hold him down boy," she said to Ichigo hurriedly helping her by holding Izuku down and stopping him from moving

"Chyuu~~" Ichigo saw her kiss Izuku and his arm started to glow green, then all his bones snapped back into place and then the arm automatically oriented itself and then it started healing right in front of his eyes. It was almost as if he was watching Alchemy. When it clicked maybe he could do the same with his alchemy he had to research more about after getting back home.

"*Sighs* How are you feeling, young Izuku?"

"Very tired All-might sensei."

"Hmm, let's analyze what just happened," Ichigo prompted.

Immediately the energy went back into Izuku: "Lets, then I will tell you what it felt like, I felt this energy, the electricity flowing through then Bam."

Ichigo sweatdropped that didn't help at all but he didn't want to mention it.

All Might said "From my point of view, your body still cannot handle the stress 100% of one for all. Maybe start 1% and work your way up until you feel comfortable without stress on the body."

"Yes, yes" Izuku

"Hey Izuku, did you apply equal energy throughout the body? or just the hand?"

"Ahhh! I just put it into my hand whereas I should spread it all over my body, that makes much more sense" said Izuku with an 'I got it now' expression.

Ichigo didn't know what to do with this guy, he analyzed other people's quirks so much that he didn't analyze himself.

"Izuku, Why don't you try to analyze yourself from an outside perspective. Next time. You have very good analyzation skills, you should use them on yourself more often. Now I will leave. I have to get home before sundown and stay safe Izuku. Goodbye, All might-san. Now I just got an idea for another usage of my quirk. I will need to work on it. See you at the entrance exam Izuku"

"Hai, Thanks Ichigo"

"Good Luck, Ichigo-Shonen"

That day as going back to his villa he started to write everything he knew about human transmutation and then he found a few leads which could be used in healing alchemy. As long as the body part or body wasn't sacrificed to the truth the body part could be healed using alchemy. This was going to be his project for three months until the entrance exams.

That day after getting home, "Hey Alice you up?"

"Ya boss, You have that exciting look about you that says that you found a new project."

"Right in one, Alice please start a project under the name Paracelsus"

"Parsceleus Got it. Project under ?"

"Alchemy, Alice, Alchemy. Alice, I want you to order some animal's for experimentation, order them."

"Where is Asato-Nii?"

Asato Nobufusa was an elder brother from his orphanage who went to butler school. He was his Alfred. He has a minor telepathy quirk that only let's him connect to one person at a time.

"I am right here Kurosaki-san," said Asato coming into the room with food.

"Asato-Nii, How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Ichigo"

"Don't care about that stuff, Kurosaki-san you better have dinner it is already pretty late."

"Asato-Nii, did you hear what I said about the experimental animals?"

"Yes, Kurosaki San, I will clear up the medical room and set it up for experimentation."

"Thank you Asato-Nii"

Thus started my daily life of experimentation (A.N: I in no way endorse animal cruelty or abuse, but I really don't know how to write this as I have never really experimented on animals. So maximum effort.).

Breaking limbs of chimpanzees trying to heal with transmutation, failing, summarizing mistakes and so on. By the time one month, he had mastered healing with alchemy for non-organ body parts like limbs, skin, muscles, and nerves.

The real challenge came with transmuting organs, there were a lot of problems like organ rejection, or organ degradation, and stamina depletion and death before the transmuting completed etc became speedbumps.

It took him more than one and a half months to solve Organ rejection and degradation. He found it worked best if the alchemical circle was drawn with the recipient's blood.

But the Stamina problem was unsolvable, the only way to solve that is to use the recipient's life force, the user's life force or a sacrifice.

After this, part project progression stopped and Ichigo felt that any further depth would be going into truth's territory and he really didn't need to go further if his goal was healing someone like All might.

The last 15 days before the entrance exam he relaxed completely. Chilling at the orphanage. As he was walking into the orphanage, he heard a voice,

"Everybody, Ichigo-nii is here."

"Ichigo-nii, help me Mimuro is bullying me"

"Oh, What did you tanuki-kun?"

"It's Tanaka not tanuki, hmm but I really didn't do anything I just really just took notes I borrowed last week,"

Ichigo just looked at him with a 'are you serious?' look

"First apologize to Mimuro, then give her this week's pocket money as compensation."

"But Ichi-nii" he tried to argue but with Ichigo's glare, he silenced.

"Sorry Mimuro," he said.

"Huff, Fine," said Mimuro and walked away "Why did you need to copy her notes anyway?"

"I kind of skipped class and went to the playground," he said as he looked at his toes.

"And what was so urgent in the playground that you had to skip classes for it?"

"Ichi-nii, I kinda awakened my quirk so I was practising with it, I wanna be a hero in the future."

"Oh, you awakened your quirk? What is it?"

"Wait, let me show you." he then took a rock and covered it with energy and then the rock vanished.

"See, it vanished right, now let me do this" and then he pulled energy and the rock was back tada

"Wow, that was a great quirk little tanuki, but you probably should not be skipping the class to practice it. Why don't you check for Mimuro's book in your storage dimension."

He blinked once and twice and said 'Now I remember' expression "So that's where it went."

"So now that you know where the book is and you will return it to her if you want to train in the future, come ask me. We will make a hero out of you."

"The in-training Storage Hero-4th dimension will blow you away, just you wait for it nii-san"
