Hero of Courage: Fulcrum

Chapter 25: U.S.J Aftermath

3rd POV:

Izuku was transferred to the nurse's office to recover and rest before he got up and started to move around. All Might was in the office looking disappointed with himself since he was meant to be at the event and it would have gone so much easier if both he and Izuku had double-teamed the creature. However, what All Might was most concerned about what Izuku said about the creature... he said it had multiple quirks and he also said that HE was back. All Might didn't like that... he didn't like that at all. Izuku was currently asleep since Recovery Girl's quirk took a lot of energy out of him. As such, All Might sat in the room and waited. After about 15 minutes he woke up in the living room and groaned. "Good to see you awake my boy." All Might stated as he looked over Izuku.

Izuku then saw the detective that was on the other side of the room making notes from earlier statements he got from students. He looked over and waved at Izuku. "Good... you are awake. I need you to run me through the events." The detective asked and Izuku did. The details were grim... everything is pointing towards All For One being alive and being back. Soon a staff meeting would be held in regards to the events and Izuku planned to attend since it had become far more important. As such, he got out of bed but was sluggish and had to have All Might, and the detective help him get to the staff room. While this was going on, Aizawa was with 1-A telling a story.

"Sensei... are you okay? You have been starting in the air for about 3 minutes now when you said you would explain stuff to us." Uraraka asked. Aizawa snapped out of it and lightly shook his head. "Sorry... there is a lot of guilt involved in this... I know I couldn't have done anything but there is a reason  I said what I told you all on the first day. Do you remember my words from the test?" Aizawa asked. They said a few things but then Bakugo got it. "You're talking about how you glared at us when Uraraka talked about the rule being unfair. You said that heroics is unfair, that life is unfair. What does that have to do with this and what was said at the U.S.J?" Bakugo asked. Aizawa nodded his head. "Good you remember.. it has everything to do with it. Life is unfair... it is the hero's job to make it fairer for those that we can. However... sometimes life is just unfair and there is nothing to be done... Heroics is not fun... it is not safe... it is deadly and Izuku Midoriya aka Fulcrum learned that at the end of his first year." Aizawa said with his head looking straight at them all. They all tensed up at what was said.

"Look to the person next to you and then look at the next person next to you. One of them will die before you ever retire if you get lucky and retire. However, for Fulcrum both people to his sides died... those people were his two friends that would become brothers in all but blood to him. They would do almost everything together. However, fate was not kind to them as it decided to claim their lives and Fulcrum almost went with them that day." Aizawa stated in a sad tone. Bakugo's eyes widen... 'how did I not know any of this?' he thought. The class all had eyes widen. Aizawa then started to talk about the three misfits. "These boys were the three individuals that survived the shrunken class from 2 to one, they survived me expelling everyone else but themselves. As such, they got put onto an advanced track of education and had earned their provisional license at the start of the second semester of their first year. These boys were good... all three of them could take at least one of UA teachers down in a fight of 2 v 1. Two teachers against one student." Aizawa stated and this surprised everyone at how strong they were for them to take pro heroes on and defeat at least one of them in battle. 

"Before Fulcrum worked with All Might's agency, he and the two other brothers wanted to gain experience first before being connected to All Might since the two boys were also proteges of All Might. Though they came after Izuku introduced them to All Might. They still earned that title through their determination, willpower, and hard work. As such, they started out in the Gang Orc agency together since they could work so well in a team but also work as individual heroes." Aizawa stated. Then Aizawa went over how the boy's initial work-studies went. Shinso even chimed in on how he met Fulcrum and how he got saved from bullies. "However... fate was not kind... Do any of you know the tale of the three misfits?" Aizawa asked and everyone said they did and then they realized... the three boys were the three misfits and they all paled since that story was gurgling towards the provisional heroes that stood their ground. "I see you all made the connection... yes, Fulcrum was the third boy from that day where his two brothers died fighting an army of villains. That is why he stood in front of you all. He refuses to let your class suffer his and his brother's fate and have any of you die any time soon." Aizawa stated. He then asked them if they had any questions and they did of course. He answered them the best he could. One question though asked about how he recovered. "Recovered... you don't exactly recover from watching your two brothers die... the pain dulls over time but you never fully recover. You only get more functional. I will tell you now... there is a memorial here on campus that you will find Izuku at almost always if he is on campus and isn't busy doing something. Don't ever disrespect the memorial site since the last person that did resulted in Izuku beating them up and dragging them to Nezu's office to be expelled. The staff is... protective of Izuku since he is the last member of his class and we also all feel guilt towards him losing his brothers even though we couldn't do anything about it." Aizawa stated.
