"...Sensei?" Shigaraki asked. "Where's Izuku?"

"He's getting a quirk, Tomura." Sensei replied. "He is just getting ready."

"He is?" Shigaraki asked with worry in his eyes.

"Don't you want him to join you in your quest?" the older man asked. "I promise no harm will befall upon Izuku, besides, your goal is to topple the symbol of peace, is it not?"

"It is..."

"Ah...you're worried he'll become like the others?"

Shigaraki nodded.

"Don't fret." Sensei ruffled the grey hair of the child. "Believe in your little brother, he'll pull through this."

Sensei left Tomura where he stood as he patiently waited for both Sensei and Izuku.

"How do you feel, Izuku?" asked Sensei as he came out of the green tubes.

"Why did I need to go in there?" he asked.

"It's just a precaution, to strengthen your body."

He looked at his hands followed by the rest of his body. "Does that mean I have a quirk now?"

"No."

It took Izuku a second for that to register. "Huh?"

"I strengthened your body, Izuku." Sensei said as he flexed his fingers. "Augmented, if you will. I have yet to bestow you the quirks."

"But I thought the body training-"

"It was needed, yes, and you still need to do that. I just gave it a boost, as a reward for doing so well past Kurogiri's expectations. Think of it as a bonus."

"T-Thank you, sensei..." He bowed his head causing Sensei to chuckle.

"No need for formalities, Izuku." He gestured Izuku to a seat. "However, augment boosts like that makes you...artificial."

"Artificial?"

"Yes, you're beyond human now." Sensei said. "You are an Artificial Human, Izuku."

"But I still need to follow the training regime?" Izuku got a nod in return.

Sensei beckoned him closer, holding out his hand.

"I shall give you the quirks of your parent's now." He said placing his hand on Izuku's head. "You might find yourself falling asleep however..."

Then, young Izuku felt it! He felt it!

It course through his body!

However, when it was over it happened again!

It was an odd feeling. Odd...but probably something he would get used to in the future. That's if Sensei would provide more quirks for him.

"Izuku?" he heard Sensei call his name. "...Izuku?"

"Yes, Sensei?" he responded as Sensei's face look down at him. "...D-Did it work?"

"Work? I think it went perfectly. Just as I calculated." He said as had already removed his hand.

"Interesting...very interesting. It seems he 'accepted' the quirks much more easily than others due to being quirkless." He thought as he returned to his desk. "It could also be from sheer willpower and want for a quirk that the quirks were accepted. He truly is a clean slate for quirks to be added...and no sign of being a mindless doll either."
