Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 2

Once home I sighed as I walked through the store door after parking the bike outside. I live in a relatively large house, it was actually a mansion. I entered the house where my mother, Iori Miyamura, was waiting for me.

"I'm back!" I shouted when I entered, even though we didn't live in any of my mother's shops, the smell of freshly baked goods always permeated the house.

"Izumi!?" my mother shouted from the kitchen as she stuck her head out the door "there you are boy! I thought you were lost!"

"I just got distracted, nothing to worry about" I said as I walked in with a sigh, my mother snorted.

"Did you hand over everything?" I asked and hummed in confirmation, she just nodded.

"I'm going to train" I informed him.

"Don't strain yourself!" she yelled at me as I walked away to go up to my room, my room was big I had to admit, but it wasn't comfortable enough to work out in, so I quickly changed my clothes into some baggy workout pants and a tight black shirt, certified badass clothing, grabbed a wooden sword and headed out into the yard before starting to train, nothing strenuous, just dancing the breathing styles one after another, something I had been doing since I could stand up, at this point I could even do them in my sleep.

In fact, it was easy to replicate the breathing styles that were derived from the originals that he created from his memory with the memories of the manga, and even replicate the new movements that were created like the eleventh form of water breathing that Tomioka Giyu had created.

The only thing I couldn't really exercise properly was my muscles, Zoro's template came with its incredible musculature adapted to my new body, that meant I could easily lift tons with each of my arms and my mouth, but it was difficult to get that amount of weight inside my house, so I had to regularly go to a gym that was adapted for people who had some sort of super strength.

I stopped an hour later when the alarm I had set stopped me, it's not like I was remotely tired, but I needed to take a shower to wash off all the sweat before heading to school.

UA University, there were many changes in this world, and that was one, UA in this world was a university.

It had been a week since the sludge villain made the news, from what little I can tell, everything happened exactly as it should in My Hero Academia with just one small detail, instead of two male teenagers being part of the story, the news said that only one female teenager was involved, now, I didn't know if that had completely changed everything, or if it meant that both Bakugou and Midoriya were women, or just one of the two, which, given the female population of this world, wouldn't seem strange to me, but it made me realize something, canon went down the drain a long time ago .

Plus, I knew this when a news story appeared about the Triumvirate clearing an S-class gate in the United States, Solo Leveling and Worm, pissing myself with that knowledge was a positive thing, I was almost certain I would faint instantly, both are worlds of death, not only because of their difficulty and cruelty, both are heading towards an apocalypse that was only solved by the protagonists of their respective series.

I calmed down a bit once I found out that there was no Scion or Eden, or any other entity-like person, and that the gates had opened over a century ago, so we weren't in the 10-year loop of the rulers' cup of reincarnation. I still couldn't completely rule out the complete existence of entities, rulers, or monarchs, but there was no absolute proof that they existed either, still, it calmed me greatly that there was no hard evidence of their presence.

The next thing I noticed, and I have to say I'm a little embarrassed I didn't notice it sooner, was the reversed gender roles. Yes, I may have been panicking about impending death, but I really had to be able to notice it.

Everything became much clearer when I learned about world history, well, not counting the completely strange mix of stories.

For as long as there is historical record, men have always been completely outnumbered by women, at best 1 to 4, but at times it was 1 to 10, in fact there are still places, mostly really poor countries, that still have that ratio of difference, for example Japan today was at a ratio of 1 to 7.

Added to this is the fact that estrogen in women causes exactly the same hormonal changes as testosterone in men in my old world and vice versa, testosterone in men in this world had the same effects as estrogen, with the exception of the changes in the body.

Women still had the curves that a woman should have, but they behaved like the men of my old world, they were more irascible, hornier and physically stronger, while men were the opposite, it was harder for them to get muscles and they were more sentimental.

Interestingly, all of this did not cause any major changes in world history until the 21st century, even with the planet being much larger than my old world, all of the historical figures and events in the world happened as I remembered with the exception of the genders of the historical figures being reversed and some extra historical events happening on the new land masses, which certainly struck me as odd.

Now, starting in the 21st century is where it gets even weirder, but long story short, one day in China, a newborn baby appeared who manifested the first known meta ability , giving him the ability to radiate light, after that event, more and more people started manifesting superpowers. There was a time when society was in a dark age, with people using their abilities to commit crimes, and ordinary people being prejudiced against the new minority brought about an era of chaos and unrest.

It was around this time that the first heroes appeared in the form of vigilantes, and in fact, the first vigilante was a hero named Vikare, from Worm, who brought about the 'golden age of meta-abilities ', which ended rather quickly when he was killed. Also, all of All for One happened at that time even though there were no written records, you could still read between the lines because of what was missing, the thing about Destro and the Meta Liberation Army also happened around that time.

As steps were taken to regulate the use and acceptance of quirks and the integration of people with them into society due to their rapid increase in the general population, the first gate appeared.

Gates, magical or supernatural portals that form an entrance to pocket realms known as Dungeons , places that usually have a horde of monsters led by a boss. The dungeons remain open until the boss is killed, if the dungeon is not cleared within seven days, what is called a 'dungeon break" occurs, meaning that the monsters inside the dungeon will be able to cross over to the human world and attack the civilian population.

Realizing the danger posed by the monster-filled gates, of which even the weakest were able to resist normal firearms, people with Quirks ventured into the so-called dungeons to prevent the gates from being broken and discovered that their abilities were highly effective against the monsters.

They quickly realized why she wanted it for a reason, Soul.

At the same time as the first gate was generated, people began to awaken their souls, they weren't really visible to the naked eye and were only perceptible to a select few, but, along with the awakening of the soul, came the aura. The aura is the manifestation of the soul, it was really important for hunters, in addition to the raw increase in physical abilities, it allowed them to defend themselves from dungeon creatures, and do more damage to them more easily, this was due to the fact that monsters did not have a soul of their own, so the aura was more harmful to them.

A person without an awakened aura could damage monsters obviously, but that's because they still had a soul, but because there was no aura and the unawakened and dormant soul was too small, too weak, it was really difficult to kill monsters that way.

Quirks, at the time it was decided, were parts of one's soul, there were still biological parts included, like the second joint of the little toe, or the quirk factor in the blood, but some were so violating the laws of physics that they attributed it to the aura, to the soul.

At that time, two new jobs were created: the first, the heroes, who were still vigilantes at that time, and the second, the hunters. The first were in charge of criminals , people who used their quirks to commit crimes, while the second were people who entered dungeons in order to close them.

You would think that heroes would become obsolete, but in reality they were necessary, quirks had still been awakened in 80% of the population, whether they had aura or not, so maintaining public order was really difficult for the police to keep up with when crimes were committed using these abilities, so heroes were still necessary.

They were different professions, UA for example did not differentiate one from the other, in fact, it was still a heroic university, but it did not discard the hunter part but rather added it to the curriculum .

In fact, a hero needed a license to do hero work and could perform both hero and hunter duties, while hunters, anyone could join as long as they were of legal age, but they could only work as hunters, they had no jurisdiction to perform heroic acts, something about a normal hunter trying to stop a robbery and ended up killing the thief and several civilians, a scandal of great magnitude.

Still, hunter schools were still numerous, more so than hero schools, and it was for the simple fact that they helped new hunters survive, learn to fight, so as hero schools emerged, so did hunter schools.

Despite that, over the last century there have been major catastrophes as a result of broken dungeons, one of them for example being Ozma's Dungeon located in what is now known as Grimmlands, formerly Greenland, the absurd amount of Grimms that that single dungeon generates, they constantly invade almost the entire world, mainly North America and Europe, especially the kingdoms of Vale, Vacuo, Atlas and Mistral, the first two are in America and the latter in Europe, in extended lands that did not exist in my old world.

The other notable gates were Aincrad and Babel, the first a gate that spawned in the sky that when broken created an indestructible flying castle, luckily Aincrad didn't spit out monsters but instead they stayed inside the castle. The second was another underground gate in Greece that created the Tower of Babel on the surface and beneath it a complex labyrinth, Babel also kept the monsters within it so the various governments of the world decided that both dungeons were a good source of resources and training so they remained constantly open to the general public.

But gates that were broken that were more catastrophic that happened because of the monsters that came out, for example, Kamish 10 years ago in the US killed hundreds of S-rank heroes and hunters before being killed, the dungeon on Jeju Island in Korea that took over said island and is now considered lost territory.

Yes, when I learned history I still couldn't understand the mishmash of series that were joined together trying to maintain coherence, but failing in the attempt.

Solo Leveling, Worm, Boku no Hero Academia, Soul Eater , RWBY, SAO and Danmachi , there were more, I had no doubt about that, but I really didn't want to find out which ones they were, thinking about those alone already gave me a severe headache.

Getting back to where I was, I didn't really have to have that much faith in canon continuing as it was supposed to, so many series mixed together it was kind of expected that something had to happen when they intervened with each other, Taylor Hebert being in Japan was kind of worrying, in fact, anywhere the Queen of Escalation is worrying, if her quirk was comparable to the Administrator Queen then it would be easy for her to enter UA, it was only natural that she would be accepted, and along with Midoriya Izuku, they were two protagonists that seem to call danger and conflict to them, it was something to take into account.

And those were the ones I knew, with the small amount of men in the world, the amount that want to be heroes is minuscule, meaning that pro hero and hunters were a completely female profession with a few exceptions here and there, so all the boys that were supposed to attend UA the same year as the protagonist, presumably wouldn't (unless they're all gender bended, but that's something I don't want to think about, a female Mineta was the last thing I'd want to imagine).

That left more than half of the seats free, I shuddered slightly at that thought, if more protagonists joined the class it would simply be catastrophic, but for some reason, that thought made me smile widely, it was not the thought of a large number of girls, but the simple fact of fighting against different protagonists, where most had a simply monstrous growth compared to a normal person.

Midoriya would only be a challenge once he learned how to control OFA, I had no idea if I could defeat him and that thought alone made my hands itch, the parts of me that were undoubtedly Zoro had been feeling restless for a long time and the mere thought of facing such formidable opponents made my blood boil, not even the part that was Yoriichi was calm which was weird okay, I barely noticed the difference since the Yoriichi part always remained calm and collected, with almost no strong emotions, so seeing him slightly excited, even if it was a small emotion, just stood out immensely, so I was really looking forward to going to UA, I could feel my smile growing wider and wider.
