Chapter 23

The nightmare that was the Rescue Training had came to an end. No one had thought that a simple lesson would lead to us discovering the dark side of the society this early on.

None of the students were hurt physically but the fear they had felt when the villains had ambushed them was horrifying to say the least. I on the other hand wasn't as deeply affected as they were as I knew they would be coming.

That is the reason I let Kurogiri and Shigaraki go. I could have used something more when I was dealing with Kurogiri but I needed him to escape so that I would have some idea of what they would be planning next.

Even though I had decided I would not care of the changes I would make but subconsciously I still wanted it to be same so that I would have the illusion that I can still control things due to my meta knowledge.

This could lead to actively harming someone who I care for just because canon had dictated it. Sigh, it sure is troublesome to deal with your own hypocrisy.

Izuku was visibly worried about All Might's well being as he knew he had over extended his limit by quite a lot. Speaking of Izuku, I think it's time to have a talk with him.

I still haven't breached the topic of his 'quirk' as I was waiting to see if he would take the initiative to tell me. He would tell me as I am his best friend but it would probably be in the future due to some anime plot which is too bothersome to me.

Therefore I would make him tell me by confronting him about it. After the incident we were given few days off considering we did deal with genuine villains.

My parents were worried about me but I placated them by assuring them that I was completely fine and it was the teachers who took care of the villains.

No need for them to know I jumped head first in the midst of villains to fight them. It was the next day after the incident that I met with Izuku.

We talked about random things when it was finally time for the main stuff."Izuku I wanted to talk to you about something".

He seeing that the air around me became serious he straightened out and told me to go ahead."I will come straight to the point Izuku. What is your connection with All Might?" I asked him as he was shocked as his eyes popped out while he stuttering for any kind of response.

"This is something I had noticed right when UA began. All Might is strangely bias towards you and you display way more concern than necessary. Let's not forget about your quirk as well. It is eerily similar to All Might's quirk. With how All Might acts whenever you perform well it is like a of proud parent. So tell me Izuku, is he your father?".

At this point Izuku was flabbergasted beyond belief as he never thought of about this issue till I brought it up to him. The father angle I brought was just to mess with the kid but he doesn't need to know that.

"K-kei Chan it's nothing like that", h started saying. I interrupted him before he could go on,"Stop Izuku. If you don't want to talk about it, it is fine. I shouldn't have intruded in your personal affairs. My bad" I finish saying as I stand up and start to head towards the door. We were in his home currently where I decided he would be the most comfortable.

"W-wait Kei Chan", Izuku called out to me from behind. Heh, hook line and sinker.

I turn back to him and he continues," The truth is that this is not my power. I got it from someone else". I stare at him incredulously as I ask him,"What do you mean by you got it from someone else? You didn't awaken it?".

Izuku nodded as he said,"Yeah I didn't awaken it. I got this quirk from All Might", he finished off as he sat all nervous like he is about to receive capital punishment or something.

Good, with this I would be included in the any plans these two conjure up and properly direct them to my preferred direction."Damn this is not what I expected. I thought he was your illegitimate father or something" I say to him. He just awkwardly chuckles as we descend into an awkward silence.

"I am sorry Kei-Chan. Even though you were the one who always believed in me I hid this fact from you" Izuku apologizes.

I just wave him off,"It's all fine bro. Besides this feels like a national secret now that you have told me. It is understandable as to why you kept it a secret" I assure the kid.

Izuku sighs in relief as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. As the awkwardness had dissipated Izuku was back in his element as talked about how he trained with All Might during the ten months before the entrance exam which I already knew.

Speaking of All Might, that fight showed me where my limits laid. Sure I didn't use to entirety of my quirk as I didn't utilize the branches of telekinesis that I had cultivated.

But to know that I could only hold the Nomu who was supposed to be a direct counter to All Might's 100% for a measly five seconds was a blow to me. I had thought that with all the training I had done for my quirk I should atleast give it some challenge but if it wasn't for Aizawa I would have been in a broken state similar to his canon self.

Sure due to Nano and Chi I could somewhat react to the Nomu but I wasn't able to make a dent to the creature on my own. I need to look into ways to safely strengthen my quirk quickly as this fight has shown me the quirks limits.

But I would be damned if I would be let down by own quirk. So what if my quirk can't reach the standards of One For All. I will find different ways to compete and surpass them and I will make sure that this becomes a reality.
