The next morning started loud. The press came by to get first-hand thoughts about All Might becoming a teacher.
Sasuke made his way up to the gate and a microphone was shoved in his face, "What do you think about All Might becoming a teacher at UA?"
"You're in the way."
Aizawa came through the gate and was surrounded by the press like everyone before him, "Give us some insight on All Might..." The reporter got a good look at Aizawa and winced, "Hold on– cut the feed! Why don't you get a little more presentable dude?"
Aizawa made a shooing motion with his hand, "The man is off duty now. You're interfering with our lessons here, so kindly vacate the premises," as he passed the gate, the reporters kept trying to ask more and more questions, but they were answered with an abrupt slam of the gate.
Once everyone was in class, Aizawa criticized Bakugo for his attitude and Midoriya for his lack of control over his quirk. He also criticized Sasuke, "Sasuke. Keep your emotions in check, you somehow didn't notice someone wearing all metal walking up slowly behind you. You'll get yourself killed if you do something like that in a real battle."
His eyes briefly skimmed over Ashido then back to the teacher, "... Right."
Ashido brushed her arms down her legs, "He's probably still mad at me. I don't know what else I can do...,' her brow furrowed, 'Wanting to keep me safe? Does he think I'm weak or something? I practically beat him yesterday!'
The speaker beeped, "Please send Ashido down to the Faculty room."
'Huh? What could they want me for?'
After she left the class Aizawa announced that they have to pick a class president. Almost the whole class stood up in an uproar. Even Bakugo seemed excited. Although Sasuke looked unphased.
Iida convinced the class to hold a democratic vote which Sasuke tried not to take part in. "Sasuke, this is an assignment for the whole class."
Sasuke sighed, 'I don't care much about who becomes president, but if I had to choose...'
A few halls away Ashido entered the Faculty office and was greeted by All Might. She straightened up, "All Might?"
"Young Ashido, there you are! How are you feeling after the Battle Trial?"
"Umm, alright. What did you call me for?"
He cleared his throat, "I needed to ask you about what you and young Sasuke talked about yesterday." Ashido held her hands together and stayed silent, trying to think of something. All Might waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm helping Aizawa, I know everything he knows about young Sasuke already.
Ashido eased up and separated her hands, "Alright... I tried to get him to use his original quirk, but it didn't work. He just lashed out and threatened to cut ties with me," she looked down.
"Don't look down, young Ashido. You don't have to do anything like that again."
She smiled and her Jaw loosened and she leaned back, "Yeah I didn't plan on it."
He waved a hand, "Did he say anything specific that might be interesting?"
She frowned, "You were right, he wants to avenge his parents... Although he said something that I didn't understand. He said that his first quirk wasn't his quirk."
All Might's eyes went wide, "Not... His... Quirk," At that moment he remembered the origin of One For All itself. How All For One put his hand on his brother's head and forced him to bear a quirk that culminated into what it is today.
All Might's silence made her tilt her head, "Is that helpful at all?"
He snapped back to reality, "Yes, that's extremely helpful. Thank you, young Ashido," he stood up, "Well! You should get back to class now!"
He started guiding her towards the door. "Wait a minute. We're done already?"
"Yes! I have paperwork, and you don't want to miss the Class President vote do you?"
Her eyes lit up, "Class president?!" She shot out the door and ran to class. Once she turned the corner All Might closed the door and paced back and forth with his hand under his chin, 'Young Sasuke got his quirk from All For One... He's lucky to have not turned into a virtual doll, but why would All For One try to bind a random child to his will by giving him a quirk? It just doesn't make any sense,' he stopped pacing, 'Unless maybe he was trying to make both him and his parents submit to him? All this does is make more questions though... Mainly, what would have caused All For One to kill them?' he shook his head. 'Just guessing won't get me anywhere. I'll find out eventually.'
It was lunchtime for Class 1A, and Sasuke got his lunch. He was trying to find an empty table, but the Cafeteria was so packed that there wasn't a single one. He was about to just leave the Cafeteria, but someone called out to him, "Hey, Sasuke! Over here!"
He turned his head and saw Ochaco waving at him. Iida and Midoriya sat next to and across from her. Sasuke sighed and walked over then sat down next to Iida.
She leaned on the table to get a better look at him, "You're Deku's friend, right?"
"Deku?" he raised a brow.
Midoriya waved his hand, "I'm trying to turn it into something more positive."
"Hn. And friend?"
He put his hands up, "I-I just said I knew you from Middle School!"
He faced Ochaco, "Friend is an exaggeration. We're well acquainted though."
Well, I'm sure that we'll all become friends either way!"
"Hn," Sasuke turned his focus back to his food and Midoriya changed the topic, "I was made class president so suddenly. I'm really not sure that I'm up for the task...
Sasuke kept eating his rice, "You aren't."
Midoriya lowered his head and Ochaco pouted, "Don't be so negative!"
"It's realistic. He was hunched over sweating just standing in front of the class, someone else would be better like Yaoyorozu or Iida compared to Midoriya in his current state." Midoriya's head lowered more, "But... He could grow into it," he looked at Midoriya, "He used to stutter almost every sentence and cry a lot, so he's already a lot more confident compared to Middle School. He's put a lot of work in, so I'm not too surprised he was voted in."
Midoriya's head raised again with a smile. Ochaco said, "Sasuke, you gotta tell us some of these Middle School Deku stories sometime!"
Midoriya shook his hands and head rapidly, "Please never do that..."
Iida spoke up, "I for one think that Midoriya will be all right. You've got the guts and judgment when it counts, Midoriya. I voted for you because I knew you had it in you to carry us through."
"But didn't you want to become Class president too, Iida? You even have the look down with the glasses!"
"As I said, one's volition has nothing to do with one's actual suitability. I did nothing more than follow my own judgment on the situation.
Midoriya leaned in, "You're so proper, Iida."
"Yeah! You're always going on about honor and stuff, Iida. I may be wrong, but are you from an Upper Crust Family?!"
Iida then explained to them how he's from a hero family and related to Ingenium, but soon after the alarm rang, "Security level 3 has been breached. Students, please promptly evacuate."
Everyone started running and Iida asked someone, "What's security level 3?"
"It means someone infiltrated the school grounds! This hasn't happened in three years."
Everyone made their way into the hall which quickly became cramped. Sasuke himself was pushed against a window and scowled. He looked out the window, 'It's only the press... Wait..."
For a brief moment, he saw a certain dark fog swallow something up. His eyes went wide and he no longer heard any of the noise around him.
The window he was pressed up against turned into a door he was looking through the crack of, and he shrunk in size. His father was rubbing the back of his head with a tense face, "What does he want this time?"
Sasuke tried to get a better look at whoever else was in the room, but he'd have to open the door more to see him, and he didn't want to risk that."
"One of our 'clients,' Yoshikage, has recently stopped maintaining contact with us, so you have to go to his house and find out what happened to him."
"Yoshikage? He probably just forgot to pay his phone bill or something. I have to train Sasuke today."
"I don't want to hear any excuses. You know what your end of the deal entailed. If you fail to maintain that, then your son will just become another nobody again. Now get ready and I'll take you there."
His father rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth, "... Fine. I can go now," his father was surrounded in a dark fog and disappeared.
Sasuke returned back to the crowded hallway and was about to smash the glass, but the fog had already disappeared.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist so hard that he nearly bled. 'After all these years, you show up again right in front of me?! What was he doing here?'
Sasuke hadn't noticed, but the hallway cleared up and got less rowdy as Iida calmed everyone down. Everyone started going back to their classes and Sasuke glanced out the window one more time and noticed the disintegrated entrance to UA. 'What the hell?'
Midoriya passed Sasuke, "Something wrong, Sasuke?"
He shook his head, "No," they made their way back to class and Midoriya replaced himself with Iida as class president. Sasuke was zoned out the whole time though, 'That man who teleports... He was one of the people involved with my parents' demise.' he smirked, 'Well if some of them are gonna come right to me, then I don't have to go through the effort of tracking them all down. Next time I see him, he isn't getting away.'
After school ended he made his way out the gate which was already fixed, and Ashido came up behind him with a smile on her face like usual, "Sasuke!"
He turned around, "Mina?"
"You know I haven't seen your apartment yet. I should come over sometime. Liiiike maybe today?"
Sasuke turned fully toward her, "What would you want to do that for?"
She tilted her head, "Why wouldn't I wanna check out a friend's house?"
Sasuke thought about his home and how there wasn't any furniture anywhere besides his bed. "I don't really have anything there. Maybe another time."
He turned away from Mina and walked home. She sighed, 'Is he still mad at me? Maybe I'll have to make it up to him somehow.'
When Sasuke arrived home he sat all of his things down and changed out of his school uniform. He put on some shorts and went to his workout room. He leaned against a wall and put his hand under his chin, 'My mother's quirk allowed her to make all kinds of things in different shapes and sizes, so shouldn't be able to do the same thing?'
When Sasuke originally awakened his quirk, it took the form of a rib cage with skeleton arms. He assumed that this was due to his father's quirk involving bones. Although his father could manipulate all the bones in his body in comparison to the two parts Sasuke has made. 'After a ribcage... What would naturally come is probably the entire upper body?'
He stood in the middle of the room and his eyes turned red. He manifested his ribcage and both arms. Next, instead of channeling his energy throughout his body, he applied it to the ribcage which accidentally ended up increasing its size by multiple sizes, touching the ceiling which made a loud noise.
He blinked a few times and lost his focus which caused the rib cage to disappear. He waited a moment to hear any yelling come from upstairs, but it never came. 'He must not be home,' he sighed, 'Not what I meant to do, but that can come in handy,' he lost his balance and caught himself on a wall. He started to catch his breath, 'That takes up quite a bit of energy though, gonna have to work on that.'
After he caught his breath he walked back to the center of the room and tried again. He made a ribcage, 'Maybe I put too much energy into it the first time?'
This time he only put energy into the top portion of the skeleton and imagined adding shapes to it. The top of the rib cage stretched out seemed to bend and protrude awkwardly outwards. 'This isn't a good-looking collarbone at all,' he tried to attach the arms to where the shoulder would be, but it wouldn't connect.'
His eyes turned back to normal and he sighed, 'I'm probably gonna have to learn some anatomy to get this down right,' he left the room and went to his computer, and began his research.
The next day when they began their Heroics class. "For the foundational skill of heroics, we'll study today... It was decided that you'll be supervised by a three-man team of me, All Might, and somebody else.
Sero raised his hand, "Sensei, what'll we be doing?"
"Be the hero everyone needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster," he held up a card with the word rescue on it, "It's the trial of rescue!"
"Sasuke," Sasuke looked to his right and saw Uraraka calling for him, "Hm?"
"We'd do really good at saving people from wrecked buildings, don't you think? Since yours is strength-based and mine just works around strength?"
"Sure. I'd prefer combat though."
She giggled, "Well we can't always just fight."
Aizawa explained a couple more basic things and they made their way to the bus that will take them to USJ.
On the bus, Sasuke sat next to Midoriya, and I'm the other side of Midoriya was Tsuyu who greeted Midoriya.
He tensed up, "Ah?! Hi, Tsuyu!?"
She smiled at him, "Your quirk reminds me of All Might's."
Sasuke began paying more attention and side-eyed Midoriya. He put his hands up and waved them constantly, "That so?! Haha, but mine isn't like"- Kirishima cut him off, "Wait up, Asui. All Might never gets hurt, that's where the likeness ends!"
While they kept talking Sasuke noticed Midoriya became less tense when Kirishima defended him. His eyes narrowed, 'It would be believable that he just happens to have a similar quirk... But the way he responds when questioned about it... It can't be a coincidence, but then that would mean his quirk was somehow given to him by All Might, but only All For One should be able to do something like that... This doesn't make much sense," he sighed, 'I'll just confront him some other time."
Kirishima said, "If we're talking about the double whammy of flashy and strong, then you can't not mention Bakugo, Todoroki, and Sasuke!"
Bakugo looked over for a moment before turning away. Asui stated, "Sasuke is too broody and quiet, so he won't be very popular,"
"My ambition doesn't involve popularity."
Ashido waved a hand, "Haven't you heard of those Batman comics from back in the day? A lot of people really dig that kind of attitude!"
Kirishima nodded, "Yeah, and Edgeshot is so quiet you don't even see his mouth! But he's still in the top five."
Asui put a finger under her chin, "You might be right, but Bakugo is always fuming, so he won't be very popular."
Bakugo stood up, "You bitch! I'll be popular too!"
She pointed at him, "See?"
Not much of note happened for the rest of the ride, and when they arrived they went inside the USJ and were greeted by the Space hero, Number 13.
The place was an interesting spectacle for everyone there, mixing all different kinds of disasters in different environments.
Aizawa walked up to 13, "Hey 13, where is All Might? He should be here around this time."
"From what I heard, sensei. It looks like he was up hero-ing until his time was up. Now he's resting in the nap room."
Aizawa's eyes narrowed, "That guy's the height of irrationality. Oh well, shall we?"
Number 13 proceeded to explain his quirk to the class and how it can save or kill people. The entire class listened intently all the way through, and when he was finished Aizawa walked over to the railing and pointed down, "All Right, first things first"- his attention was diverted to behind him where he saw a black fog come out of nowhere. And out of it came a man covered head to toe in hands.
