  Little Izuku woke up to being shaken. He opened his tired eyes to see.. himself?

  The greenette sat up, his eyes blown wide.

  "H-hello there.." the new Izuku said.

  "Hi.." Izuku responded.

  Inko chose that moment to open the door.

  "Izuku, it's time to-"

  All three of them froze, both Izukus staring at their mother with wide eyes.

  "Izuku..? I-is this your quirk?" She finally asked.

  Izuku in bed shrugged, while the Izuku standing by the bed nodded.

  "First Izuku was asleep when I woke up, I woke up standing up. I was made from a liquid coming from Izuku's hand.. I wonder if I can.."

  Second Izuku raised his right hand, letting a grey liquid pour into the floor, then rise up, forming another copy.

  "It worked!" The triplets said at the same time.

  New Izuku hummed to himself.

  "What if I try both hands?"

  He raised his hands, and twin streams of liquid fell to the ground, creating two new Izukus.

  "This is going to need testing.." all five mumbled at once.

  10 years later

  Izuku raced to the beach, excited to train his quirk some more. Bakugo had been extra aggressive today, telling him to jump off of a building like the inhuman freak he was.

  Izuku soon reached the beach, raising his right hand and creating a second him.

  As his memories, thoughts and intentions were all copied over, Izutwo knew exactly what they were doing.

  Izuku handed Izutwo half of his homework, and they had each finished within 15 minutes.

  They looked around at the spotless beach.

  Izuku and his clones had cleaned the beach thoughrily a few months ago, but so few people had started coming here.

  Izutwo melted away, evaporating into nothing by his own will.

  Izuku sighed, getting to his feet, leaving his bag leaning against the wall. He looked around, but found nobody else about.

  He raised both his hands, and formed two of himself as quickly as he could.

  "Five seconds to completion.. I can still get faster.." they muttered as one.

  Izuku spent the next couple of hours forming his doubles over and over again, each time the tiniest fraction faster than before.

  It took Izuku at least four and a half seconds to create a double of himself, the person he knew the best. His doubles could create eachother twice as fast as Izuku, as they themselves were doubles.

  Creating another person entirely? That took a lot of time, effort and concentration. Izuku needed other people's measurements, he needed to know them relatively well. The better he knew them, and the more detail he knew of the person, the faster and more refined the double would be.

  Izuku picked up his bag, slinging it over his shoulder and walking home with a sigh.

  Today's training had been excellent. He was exhausted from concentrating so hard for so long, but he was certain he could shave the time needed down to a second for the UA entrance exams.
