Izuku, The Arch Mage.

Part 13. Untraveled Road - Thousand Foot Krutch.

(Hey. This chapter is going to be different from my normal uploads. This is more of a one-shot style chapter.)

The events of this chapter take place in the distant future of this series' timeline, when Izuku has already graduated from UA and has been a pro for many years.

Izuku, now 75, was flying over to UA, as that's where any surviving members of his old class gather every five years.

Izuku's hair has long since lost much of its vibrant color, now appearing as a greyish-green.

He has a few scars along his arms, face, and chest from various fights.

Though old, it is still worth noting that his raw power has not vanished in the slightest.

His arsenal of spells actually expanded many times over as he regularly traveled the vast expanse of the multiverse, seeing the many different applications of magic across the many worlds he visited.

Last time they met, there were ten, now there's five. The life of a hero is life-long investment and very dangerous. Most heroes don't make it past 50.

"So, this is all that's left, huh?" Izuku said, landing in front of the small group.

"It seems like it." A very wrinkled Iida said, smiling a bit at the sight of his old friend from a wheelchair.

Due to the constant stress of Iida's kick-based fighting style and quirk, he has lost the use of his legs, as his legs just gave out one day, and ended up in a wheelchair.

"Have you selected a successor yet, Momo?" A slightly greying Bakugo said, waving his one remaining hand.

Bakugo had lost his left arm around the age of 45.

A villain that could store all the damage received before dishing it back in one massive hit a destroyed it beyond repair and decided to amputate.

While healing quirks could have healed the injury, the sweat glands that his quirk relied on, and the nerve endings were completely destroyed beyond repair. Deciding to not have useless limb distracting him as he continued doing hero work after receiving the injury, he had it removed entirely.

Also, despite his age, he was still looked the youngest out of the four remining 1A members.

He and Izuku are the only ones that aren't retired yet, as despite their age, they're still powerful and fit enough to keep going, so they showed up in their hero costumes. Though they do plan on retiring soon. They're still in their 70s after all.

"No, not quite yet. Though there is someone who I have high hopes for." A greyed-out, almost completely white-haired Momo said, supporting herself with a cane.

After a few years of being out as a full pro hero, Nezu himself came to Momo and asked her to become his successor as principle of UA, as he himself was beginning to get too old to continue.

Momo eventually ended up becoming just as terrifying as Nezu himself as both a hero on the battlefield and the principle of UA, if not more so.

"And what about you, Eijiro? I'd heard that your grandson just graduated from UA." Iida asked, turning to face a very scarred Kirishima.

Over the years, Kirishima's quirk had saved him from many nasty injuries, some of which would have vaporized anyone else. He truly lived up to the name of "The Unbreakable Shield" after graduating, never once backing down from a fight. His back is the one place left on his body without scars, showing that he's never once retreated since graduation, though he did lose an eye.

The eyes are the least hardened part of his body once his quirk activates. He lost the eye after a villain with a blade-type quirk got a lucky hit on him. He now sports a very stylish eyepatch.
