Izuku : The cure to sins.

Developing the cure

The 3 years of Junior High went by without any too troublesome events, both for Midoryia and Shinso. While Hitoshi was not suspected by the police and even proven innocent for the horrible act again his parents, most students and even teachers of the school still believed him to be the culprit. Though he hated that he was now labeled a psychopath by all those idiots, he could not deny his satisfaction for the new found fear he generated on them. That, combined with his new found friendship with Izuku made no one dare to bother him again, even less beating him. 

As for Midoryia, those 3 years have been extremely busy to say the least. He was balancing his time between his normal learning at school, working at the nursery with patiences that were extremely afraid of him, which always made the process tedious as well as dangerous, and finally finding individuals out there that were infected with the Pestilence so he could develop the cure. This last activity being by far the most time and mentally consuming, far the police force and heroes were hell bend on stopping his research.   

He manege to find 23 more patients during all those 3 years, almost all of them being small time vilains who he found during his usual night walks. With each new cases of the disease he learned more about his powers and their relation to the great scourge, as well as how he could use them to cure those people. For now, his cure is still not complete as his latest patient ended up not a zombie but empty shells of their former selves. While the results shown were improvement in comparison the the first cases, they are still not cured.

In any case, his more illegal but most important work as already gained a significant amont of notoriety in Japan. The decreasing severity of the after effects on his patients from his tests and his obvious expertise in medicine, gave to his criminal "alter ego" the reputation of a crazy and psychopathic doctor experimenting on vilains, trying to brainwash them by modifying their brains. This affair took the media by storm and greatly divided the people, especially when his victims ended with enough of their mind and started calling him "the Doctor of Ethics".

Since none of his patients were in stable enough state of mind when he was present, and already had been ruled out for the first murder, he was not suspected. Even though his wish of curing the vilains from "the pestilence" could be reminiscing of what the "Doctor of Ethics" was wishing to do, the only known part of his quirk was covering him. Detective Tsukaushi and EraserHead tried to determine if he could have any possible accomplis but no results on that regard. Besides, his overall personality did not correspond with the profile they were looking for.

This allowed those years to pass without major concern, and they now had reached the last day of junior high. As the last hour of class was nearing its end and the homework teacher prepared himself for his usual last year speech, Izuku was finishing to write his notes on the latest subject he had a few days ago. The speech, cries of excitement from his class and the declaration of his friend Bakugo were drowned down by his internal thinking and thoughts. He was ecstatic with his latest advancement on the cure and a recent call from Recovery Girl.

His constent work on his cure during junior high had allow great improvements for treating his patients, fallen victim of the great scourge. His latest test on the frontal lob of the human brain, the part responsible for empathie can be used to combat the Pestilence. Direct influence against the disease was possible, and this brought forward a brand new perspective to explore. As for Recovery Girl, she contacted him directly for the first time to confirm her interest in him. She told Izuku that she got permission from Nedzu to give him a special entrance exam more fitted for his expertise. This last week was truly a success... 

The last hour of school soon ended after an outburst from most of his classmates, unhappy that "two futur vilains" were trying to get into UA. Their opinion was of course quickly shut down by Bakugo, Shinso and Midoryia, respectively remembering them that : 1) extras who cant get into UA should not be allowed to even have an opinion about that, 2) while they have done nothing but b***ing about the two of them they had worked hard to have that chance, 3) their incessant cries are disturbing the class and their work.

Each member of the trio departed from the school on their own ways, as Hitoshi's house was on the opposite direction and Izuku decided to start his night walk a lot earlier than usual this day. He took less frequented streets and went for darkest parts of the town in hopes of finding more victims of The Pestilence to cure. His wish would end up being granted when he reached the path going under one of the city's many bridges, as once he had almost crossed it a disgusting sound made itself known behind him.

He calmly turned around to see one terrible sight, a victim of the scourge appeared on the path after going through a hatch separating the sewers from the outside. The individual wore a truly repulsive apparence, the one of a green pile of slime and goo carrying with it the horrendous stench of the place it just came from. The poor soul in question had a terrified and desperate look in his eyes as he was looking everywhere erratically, certainly looking for his help. However disgraceful his patients would be, he will save them from it.

Izuku : Oh, my... What a saddening sight to behold. To think that The Pestilence, can have such horrible side effects when in a stage as advanced as in your case. However you are lucky to have found me, fear not my dear fellow for I will cleanse you of this terrible scourge.

Slime Vilain : Wha... what the hell ?!

Izuku : There is no need for you to panic, I'm here to help you.

Slime Vilain : I... dont have time for this s**t you creeps... he is coming ! So... f***ing die and give me your body !

Midoryia was quite surprised by the outburst of this vilain, and before he could retort the slime fiend had lunged himself at him to suffocate him. Unfortunately for for the vilain, he didn't know that a physical touch was exactly what Izuku was looking for, and his attack only resulted in the young doctor swimming himself out off a dead body made of sludge. This process was shorten by none other than All Might bursting from the sewers and using his Detroit Smash to clean the vilain's corpse out of Midoryia.  

All Might : Fear not ! Why ? Because I am here !

Izuku : Oh dear...
