My Hero Academia Untold: The Knights of Fafnir (Izuocha)

IX

Yep, I'm uploading one day earlier than I expected. But that being said, I hope to make Sundays my primary upload day going forward, with supplementary chapters like the Black Dragon Knights and Shields of Spring taking the Monday spot.

(On that note, the first full chapter of the Black Dragon Knights will be uploaded tomorrow afternoon. I would do it in the morning, but I have to take it in my car for routine maintenance, and I refuse to delay another upload unless absolutely necessary.)

Things will become more interesting now that the end of the canon series is finally ending in the near future. While we have one last movie to get through (that somehow takes place before everything goes to shit.) The conclusion to the series has only solidified my position on how I plan to expand the story past the roughly two years in which the canon story is told.

Without going into hard spoilers, my plans for this storyline should fit all years of UA with a little bit more beyond that. Of course, the series isn't done, but I've got my bottle of champagne ready for the second Izuocha becomes canon. I wonder if I should do the same when that ship sails here, too? I've got a whole stock of different drinks ready for just about any occasion.

"Well, this is the place," Toshinori said as the two arrived at an old rundown gym. The front entrance door looked old and worn, with some windows randomly broken. He gingerly opened the door with Izuku in tow, a puzzled expression on his face. The Veteran Pro looked around in the seemingly empty gym with some concern.

Izuku himself looked around as well when he heard Toshinori whisper to himself.

"I'm pretty sure this is where he told me to go..."

"You're late!"

Both had heard an older voice growl out to them.

In an instant, Toshinori transformed to All Might and froze, a tinge of fear visible despite being in his muscular form. On the other hand, Izuku searched for the voice when he suddenly heard a loud thwack! It was followed by a clattering of wood; Izuku saw an old gnarled cane landing on the floor after hitting All Might square in the face.

"Ow!" All Might hissed in pain as he went to pinch his nose. "What was that for, teacher?!"

"Something that's been nagging me for a while told me you deserved that," the old voice declared from above. Izuku looked up and saw a petite older gentleman wearing a white and yellow hero costume with a black domino mask over his eyes. He held himself steady against the gym ceiling.

'Whoa! How did he get up there?' Izuku thought with concern. 'Is that really the guy All Might was talking about?'

The old man smirked before letting himself fall from the ceiling as All Might stood there expectantly.
