Izuku the Shadow Hero: Monarch

(16) Rabbit in Dorm

It was after an hour since the awards ceremony when 1A came back to thier dorms. Aizawa announced that they have until Saturday off to cool down and visit their family or do whatever they want. Most of the student would be leaving that day, some the next with them saying their goodbyes as they all are going home to meet their family. Izuku went to his dorm room just too see Rumi lying on his bed spread out. "Enjoying yourself Bun Bun?"

"Sure am, this bed is one of the comfiest shit I ever layed on." 

"Glad you like it. You free tomorrow?"

She raised an eyebrow, "I am free until Saturday?"

"I have a key for the heaven tower? It is an A rank gate but it will take us some time."

She looked at him, then a predatory smirk appeared "Bring it on."

After the two ate some dinner Izuku, continue their talk about Endevour and what Izuku got from beating the number 1 hero.

{For some people this may be wierd, but I am just telling you this story will have similar parts but wont follow Solo Leveling canon. Izuku still would be able to keep his system where Sun Jin-Woo loses it to gain the total power.}

"Wow, I have 57 free places for more shadows." Izuku commented.

"I am glad." After a minute of fiddling, "Can I sleep here?"

Blinking dumbly, "I thought that was your intentions, I was expecting to sleep on the couch." 

She started at his soul causing some nervousness to appear which even the system wont help him. "You are sleeping with me on the bed."

Another set of blinks appeared, "No, no, no. I can sleep on the couch." but mentally he was cursing the system for not helping his emotions.

What happened next suprised Izuku, she pulled him into the bed and under the covers, "Now shut up and sleep." He sighed at that and put his arms around Rumi causing a smile to appear on her face.

"Good night Bun Bun."

"Night Zuku." With that the two went to sleep not knowing that Jiro listened to them as that part of Izuku's bedroom wasn't sound proof.

--- Next day ---

It was just past 7am when Rumi woke up, she blinked the sleep away, and questioned why her pillow is warm and soft. Looking to the side, a small blush appeared remembering how she pulled Izuku to the bed. Rumi had to admit it was one of the best nights she had. Therefore she decided to put her head back onto his chest and fell asleep.

It was over an hour when both woke up, Izuku with Rumi then did Izuku's exercise. After that, Izuku made some breakfast with his new kitchen that he loved. It was a classical kitchen which allowed 3 people to move freely with high seats near a counter for drinks or food. Izuku also got another C rank gate key but apparently it is a high C rank.

"We need to go to Endevours agency entrance to actaully enter the dungeon." Izuku said that as he produced the Heaven's castle key.

"Cool, lets head out. What are we expecting? We are also lucky that he is out of commision for another 2 days."

Nodding, "Last time I faught against an angel St. Peter to be precise. Though he was 20 levels higher than me at that time and I am at least my levels is three times higher."

She had a small gulp, but Izuku continued, "I will protect you so don't worry, you can also use the dominator's touch skill you recieved."

She gave a grateful nod and went to infrom Aizawa that they where heading out.

--- Underground location ---

A man who seen the japanese civilisation go up and down was sitting rewatching one individual, how? he a quirk that allows him to see electronic screens. "Doctor, what do you think?"

A shorter man that looks like the doctor that ruined Izuku's dreams answered, "From what Tomura and Kurogiri reported they are shadows that use the boys energy to regenerate. How he gains the shadows is currently unknown, but it is fascinating that he has multiple so called skills which I believe are quirks or something to do with his quirk."

"I see, can you tell me more about the boy?"

"Izuku Midoriya, only family is working in America. His quirk awakened after All Might accidentally used a wider attack than needed." Which caused the potato man to laugh, "Apparently his quirk is called 'Adaptor' but I believe it is only a partial part of the boys quirk. We only know of four shadows that are confirmed being atleast A-rank. The names are Fluffy, Igris, Beast and Baruka. It is comfirmed he has mages, knights and some other shadows but they are C and B rank at best. But the thing that caused me the most interest was the healing quirk, it seems to rebuild the body from a cellular level."

"Interesting, absolutely interesting. What I would do to get his quirk, if I believe what I think how he can get his shadows he can truly be a greater threat to us than All Might or his successor."

"I agree, Lord All for One."

{A real short chapter with just over 1k words, it is to show a non fighting Izuku and Rumi side. I think I am going to do a small harem with 4/5 individuals max. The next couple of chapters will be the heavens castle.}
