The Knight of Soul Manipulation

The life of an outcast

Izuku's life had been hard he had suffered 10 years of basically being a criminal. The word about him being a villain had spread within the first few days of him being cast out. He still had his cat and Shoka kept visiting him. She brought him food, money, and clothes for him to wear. Whenever he went out he wore a hood so nobody could notice him. He had named his cat Kura and had figured out that the cat had a quirk. Kura could summon black flames and when she did her horns glowed. She often killed rats and sometimes birds when she could. Izuku went out with his hood and gloves on to go to the training field he had made. He made it inside a basement of an abandoned house on the outskirts of the town. He had been spotted a few times by people who recognized him and when they did he had to run away as fast as he could. He was a very smart child and had been taught some things from Shoka because she had school and taught Izuku all about what she learned. Izuku was a fast learner and had a very high iq of 208. He helped Shoka with some of her issues and while she was at school he and Kura went to the training ground and trained their quirks and grew stronger. Kura could make flaming orbs around her and focus them to attack one target or multiple targets at once. Izuku called this Dim Focus. Kura could also make a large fireball above her head and launch it at a target but it was a dangerous attack because it could spread. Izuku had learned that he could teleport, create bones out of the ground/air, and he could control a blue fire that was produced by him. He could use it to create things somehow. Thats how he makes new training dummies and how he makes weapons for himself. He preffered a sword he learned to control that he called Soulgazer. He could cover it in blue fire and shoot the fire at enemies. He made it out of a metal called Lythiantite and it was practically indestructible. He had become good at blacksmithing, handling a sword, hand to hand combat, and not to mention that he could lift up to 650 pounds. For the past 4 years one of the only things he had done was train. He could easily beat most KIT (Knights in Training) Sometimes when he was spotted by a citizen or a guard he had to fight them off. He was currently training an attack called Ash Serpent where he sent a snake skeleton to fly at someone and knock them unconscious. It was going to be used for his dream of becoming a hero and fighting for the kingdom. He was deep in thought when he heard noises coming from outside the training room. He put up his hood and ducked down in a corner. He heard the door open and who should come in? It was Katsuki, Katsumi, Shoto, and Shoka. Shoka looked around nervously and finally spotted Izuku in the corner ducking behind a crate. Shoto asked Shoka "What are you looking at? You look nervous." Shoto had grown taller and he was much stronger than when Izuku had seen him 5 years ago. They had run into each other 5 years ago and Izuku had to teleport away from Shoto before he could get hurt. However, Izuku had grown much stronger too. He had a 6 pack and he was 6'2 plus he had a strong quirk and he was a fast kid. He got up and sprinted through the door, making as little noise as possible as a ran back to his home with Kura behind him.

"I saw this hooded guy training in here, it's a really cool training course. We should check it out." Katsumi suggests. They all walked in and Shoka became immediately nervous. She had come with Izuku here sometimes to train with him when they had free time. She knew that he would probably be here at this time. She looked around and noticed him in the corner of the room. She panicked for a second and then calmed down when she realized that they wouldn't see him unless they were looking for him. He was huddled behind some boxes. Shoto asked her "What are you looking at? You look nervous." She just gave a weird smile and said "I'm fine." She looked back over and saw that he was gone. She felt a wave of relief as Katsuki said "Can you guys light this room up? It's way too dark."

Izuku ran home as fast as he could. He rounded a corner and ran into somebody. In the brief moment that he knocked the person over he observed the person. It was a beautiful girl with short purple hair. She had some sort of jacks hanging from her earlobes. She had soft skin and slanted black eyes. Time seemed to slow down in that moment and just as quickly resumed itself. Izuku blushed and said to the girl. "I am so sorry! Here let me help you up." She looked at him curiously and Izuku was confused until girl said, "I-it's you! The kid on all the old wanted posters!" Izuku realized that his hood fell down and his face was showing to her. He put his hand on Soulgazer and the girl exclaimed, "WAIT! I don't think you are a villain. I saw the information on the poster. It said you had a "villain quirk". I don't believe that there is any such thing as a villain quirk." "R-r-really?! You aren't going to try to catch me for the reward?" Izuku asked while looking around cautiously. "Absolutly not. Im Kyoka Jiro! and you are?" "I-i'm Izuku. I don't have a last name because- well y'know." They both said. "Well it was nice to meet you Izuku but I gotta go. See ya!" Kyoka said, waving goodbye.

(Izuku POV)

'She was so pretty. And she was really nice too! I need to get to know her better' I thought while sprinting home. "You okay Kura?" I say as I look into my bag at Kura. She let off a soft meow.

(Kyoka POV)

'Wow I found the kid from all of the posters! He was really cute. He even helped me up and was acting super nice. It's hard to believe people thought he was a villain' I thought while walking through the market place to grab some grocerys. 'I need to see him again'.

(3rd Person POV)

Later that day, Izuku and Shoka met up. "You okay Izu? Did you make it home okay?" Shoka asked worriedly. "I made it back fine Sho. Thank you for worrying." They had developed nicknames for each other over the past couple of years. Shoka and Izuku had some food and drinks while down in Izuku's little "house" which he had fixed up and made look nice. After their dinner Shoka went out to head home. "Well Kura, might as well get to sleep." Izuku says, yawning. He closes the barred window he uses to get in and out of his home. When he trys to sleep, he hears a calling from somewhere across the room. He gets up and notices a blue light shining through the cracks in one of the cobblestone walls. He looks down to see Kura next to him. He decides to go to sleep and discuss it with Shoka in the morning. He gets back into bed, closes his eyes, and drifts off to sleep.

Shoka comes running down to Izuku's house crying with burn marks on her arms and a cut on her cheek. "OH MY GOODNESS SHO ARE YOU OKAY!" Izuku asks worriedly. "M-my brother saw us talking yesterday and told o-our parents *sniff* They decided to kick me out and now I don't have anywhere to stay. She says through tears. "Shoka you can stay here with me and Kura. I made some money from doing contests in the city. I told them I had a fire quirk and used my flames to win." "T-t-thank you Izu. I don't k-know what I would *sniff* do without you." Shoka says sadly. After Shoka had calmed down Izuku told her about the eerie blue light in the wall. They decided to check it out and walked over to the corner where it was glowing. Izuku pressed on all of the stones and nothing happened. Eventually he pushed with all of his force and the stones fell back, revealing some sort of passageway the led down into the abyss, only floating blue lanterns carving a path. He saw a note stuck to a wall. It read,

Dear Savior of the Souls

We are willing to train you achieve great things as long as you help our people. Our king has been taken hostage by some surface dwellers known as The Muntanians. The leader of their band is what you would call and Ogre named Fenhet. We are running out of food and supplies to fight back with. Our armies have been depleted, all of our attempts resulted futile. We need you, Manipulator of the Dead, to help us overtake the Muntanians and save our king.

"Who is the Savior of the Souls?" asked Shoka. "I think it might be me because of my Soul Manipulation quirk. Izuku responded. "Are you sure Izu? It does seem pretty convincing but what if it is just townfolk trying to get the bounty on your head?" Shoka asked concernedly. "Sho, even if it is, I can handle myself. It's probably safer for you to stay up here in my house. I'll leave you some money and the key to my training room. Please be careful and keep my place safe." Izuku said seriously. Shoka burst into tears. "P-please don't leave me Izu! I'll do anything, just please don't leave!" "I'm sorry Shoka, I have to go and help these people. I promise I'll be back as soon as I can. Shoka ran at him full force and gave him the biggest hug ever. "I'll miss you so much." They both said at the same time. The hugged for another minute before Izuku said, "Well then, I guess it's time to go. Goodbye Shoka, I'll miss you" "I'll miss you too!" Shoka said on the verge of tears. Izuku walked off into the pale blue light and descended into the underground.
