Soul King Deku

Hobbies, training and the Entrance Exam

Midoriya Apartment

"I had gotten home that night after the sludge villain attack. I put up my Illusion just to be on the safe side..." Izuku had Narrated as he walked into the apartment in his "Zombie form" as he called it however Inko would look at him wide-eyed and start asking rapid fire questions "However it became apparent to me that I couldn't hide it from her..." Izuku would then drop the Illusion revealing his true skeletal form making Inko gasp in shock "So I told her how I got my quirk." Izuku would then tell his mother what had happened, making Inko tear up and embrace her son.

"Oh my baby!!!" Inko cried out as she let out heart-wrenching sobs "I'm happy that you got your quirk but...I don't know what I would've done if you had actually died." Inko would say as she sobbed some more.

"Oh Mother..." Izuku would say as he gently hugged his mother back running his bony fingers through her hair "It wasn't your fault...you did all you could to help me...but there was no way you could've known...to know your only son would be doomed to live his life quirkless...I can't imagine a fate worse than that...'' Izuku said as he continued to soothe his mother "but dying was a blessing in disguise for me...for the first time in my life my eyes were finally opened...well I don't have eyes anymore YOHOHOHOHOHO!!!" Izuku would laugh before clearing his throat "My point is...I don't blame you...and I'm glad I was blessed with a second chance...because...dying is NEVER an apology."

"Izuku, I'm so so happy for you! Even though things were bleak for a moment, you can finally do what you've always wanted to do!" Inko would say with a motherly smile despite still sobbing profusely.

The Next Day, Dagobah Beach

Izuku had a lot to get done. He was told by Brook that even though he had received his quirk he still needed a few things in order to become a hero. Firstly he visited a blacksmith and requested that they make a hidden blade cane in his color of green. The process took awhile but it was finally done. Now Izuku is standing with All Might, in his buff form, in front of the trash littered beach.

"So we're going to be cleaning this beach for training?" Izuku would ask while looking over his new blade cane.

"That is correct, Young Midoriya!" All Might would reply with a thumbs up before looking back at the beach "These days heroes are all about showing off. Being a real hero requires hard work and dedication not some fancy moves or a powerful quirk. Which is why this beach will be YOUR training ground for the next 10 months to prepare you for the Entrance Exams."

"Alright, I can see the deeper meaning behind this training. I just question its effectiveness since...well...I don't have muscles anymore" Izuku would say, raising his skeletal arm.

"Your job is to clean this beach for the next 10 months, you're a very smart young Midoriya." All Might would say before Izuku would go to work cleaning up the trash while learning about his quirk

5 months later

5 months had passed and Izuku had made great progress in terms of both his physical training and his quirk's capabilities. For one thing he knocked himself out once only to find his soul could leave his body as well as the Sword techniques his manifestation taught him. Currently Izuku is alone in a cemetery with his illusion up, playing his violin slowly. However what he didn't know was that he wasn't alone. In the treeline there was a girl with snow white hair and porcelain skin with her hair covering one eye silently watching him play.

"Ah, it's so quiet here. Not a noise to be heard. I apologize for disturbing your eternal slumbers, but I truly feel at peace here. As such it seems only fair that I dedicate this song to all of you around me" Izuku would say while looking over all the tombstones. He smiles and stops playing for a moment "Now then, perhaps I should play a more cheery tune to liven up your spirits, Yohohoho!" Izuku begins to play the instrumental of a certain sea shanty Brook taught him through his quirk and hums to the tune. Though it was just him and his violin playing, Izuku felt in his soul as if he was performing alongside an entire band.
