Chapter 5

Months passed by and Izuku was fully dedicated to his training putting every minute of his free time into it. At school, he kept his head low and avoided getting the attention of the other Students, and focused on studying so he would be ready for the academic part of the U.A. Entrance exam. He didn't inform them of his devil fruit powers under the guise of a Quirk.

Why should he? None of them made any attempt to befriend or help him before. He doesn't need their supposed friendship now that he gained a powerful Quirk in their eyes. Not even Bakugo, especially since he would get a surprise at U.A. once Izuku was competing on the same level as him.

After his first mishap while training at the beach and knocking himself out, he became much more careful and experimented with every possible aspect of his powers that he could think of. He discovered many things at that time. Like how he now possesses a water weakness.

The subject loses all strength in Water. Discovered that while attempting to take a swim in the Ocean for stamina training. As soon the subject entered the Ocean more than knee deep, he began losing all the strength in his body, but still could move into safety. The effect doesn't only happen in the Ocean but with all still standing water. The effect was repeatable in the Bathing tub. Once the Subject was submerged more than half in the Water, he lost his strength completely and had to be saved by a third party.

Washing hands, Showering, and rain has no effect on the Subject. Neither the waves of the Ocean do affect him. In conclusion, flowing Water is fine.

While wearing a water-resistant full-body suit made of a material like chloroprene rubber the effect didn't activate. This was discovered during a trip to the local swimming pool. As long the Subject avoids direct contact with the Water, his powers are still working underwater.

Possible solutions: Avoiding Water, Waterproof Hero Costume.

Another terrible side effect of the Yami Yami no Mi is that any damage he takes is higher than normal. Although as long he could react fast enough, he is able to absorb any attack with his darkness, if he is too slow he takes major damage. Combined with his untrained body this would be a critical weakness. This pushed his physical training to a hellish level, he worked so hard that he was completely overworked in the first two months of his training.

That he worked himself into complete exhaustion, was a detail his loving mother didn't miss, "Izu, are you alright?"

"N-not really. I am very tired." He replied as he arrived at home one afternoon after another hellish jog.

"You're overworking yourself, Izuku." Complained his Mother, "Instead of training your Body, you are causing more damage."

As he looked at her and smiled, "You are probably right. I will need to come up with a better plan." He muttered.

After a moment of thought, his mother spoke up again. "Say Izuku, why don't you start at a gym? I'm sure you'll get more out of your workout if you have the proper equipment. They even have professional coaches there that can guide you and come up with a proper regime."

Izuku blinked. "That's… a good idea. Once you mentioned the beach a few weeks ago I only focused on that. But I can use a gym to train my body. And train my Quirk at the Beach. Its' abilities are after all perfect for cleaning it up." He realized.

The very next day Izuku signed up at a local gym in Mustafu.

With the help of the Coaches there, he set up a healthy workout regime for the remaining 8 months in order to put his body into perfect condition. According to their recommendations, he also made considerable changes to his diet to include as much healthy, nutritious, and protein-rich food as possible. His mother was happy to support him with that aspect of his training.

He went to the gym every other day, and soon enough he started seeing results, small as they were.

With a regulated workout, it was much easier to focus on his Quirk the remaining days. And was able to make major discoveries in its application.

One of the major abilities he found, was that he was able to spread the darkness further from his body, and he created a black hole that allowed him to suck in Objects and store them in a seemingly infinite space.

Outside of that black hole, he was only able to attract things, but inside he could control it completely after a few months of training. Not only could he store things inside of the black space but also shoot them out of there by manipulating gravity there. He calls the respective abilities black hole and liberation.

He used Black Hole to suck in the junk and trash on Takoba Municipal Beach and stored them inside the infinite space, first he tried it with old wood and completely broken things until he figured out how to store something safely in there, without breaking it under the gravity. After all, some of these things can become useful as spare parts in the future.

Liberation is used to expel Objects from the space and use them as projectiles which he shoots by manipulating the Gravity inside of them.

He also figured out that he could not only attract things with the Palm of his hand but also with other parts of his body. Creating a move that lets his opponents fly into his fist, amplifying the damage. He calls that move Dark Smash, in deference to All Might.

Unfortunately, the nullification aspect of his Quirk only works while he is touching his opponents directly for now. Manipulating the Darkness to touch someone has no effect besides being able to pull them into it. His mother helped him figure out that aspect of his Quirk.

The strength of his abilities is dependent on his stamina and strength. If the opponent is too strong or he is too exhausted, they will be able to overcome his gravity pull or grip. As far he is aware, as long he is able to keep touching someone with his darkness-coated body they won't be able to use their quirk until they physically overpower him to break contact. But to be sure he would need to test it on more people, he was still unsure if it works on all quirks or not, because of the lack of suitable test subjects.

After 10 Months of hard work, he stood at the shore of Takoba Municipal Beach Park, pulling the last pieces of junk into the vast darkness of the infinite Space of the Yami Yami no Mi. As he stood there topless, showing off the results of his hard work as the sun reflected over his body.

During the months of his training, he formed a well-chiseled body fully equipped with abs and a flexible muscular stature, focusing on flexibility and efficiency instead of muscle mass and raw strength. His fluffy dark green hair with his round face gave him a warm comfortable look. But he lost a lot of his baby fat, over the last few months, alongside his dark green eyes, and his calm look made him more manly.

"Tomorrow… tomorrow I will finally take my first steps into the public Hero stage at the U.A. entrance exam," Izuku muttered to himself, as he stood in the sunset and stared at the clean beach from the shore while smiling proudly. The beach he put so much effort into cleaning, was now accessible to the public once again.
