IM Not You!

Chapter 17

All Might's POV

  I followed my son to the place he works. It was the shop that was on a file where Izuku was nowhere have been seen after he left home. It was a decent shop but seems wrong for a teen to work at. The walls displayed different kinds of weapons and gears. The owner was welcoming and from what I saw, Izuku was handling his job well.

It's a bit upsetting that I don't have anything to talk about to my son. We didn't even speak the entire time we were walking to this place. Maybe I was so focused on being a hero that I didn't make time for him. He mostly grew up by himself. Inko was there for some moments but I, on the other hand, was hardly there. He acknowledges me as his Father but other than that, there's nothing else. 

Since my son won't spend time with me then it's up to me to take initiative to do so. 

As I continue to observe my son, someone entered the shop and greeted Izuku. It seems to be a friend of his. They soon went to the backroom. I was curious about the guy and asked who he was from the owner. He assured me that it was really a friend and sometimes visit here to talk or hang out with Izuku.

Half an hour later, I received a call from my friend Detective Naomasa about a case he needs help with. Just as I finish my call, I notice Izuku's friend already left and he was back behind the counter.

Though its unfortunate, I must go and do some hero work. This time I came to Izuku unprepared but not next time.

Izuku's POV

Before going home, I stop by a Sushi shop near where I live. The family runs the shop was really friendly and the food always great. After a few minutes, I paid and got my order. I then left and went home.

As I arrived home, I change my clothes and went to the backyard to train first. I'll eat later after practice plus training comes first. My manipulation quirk has many functions but so far I don't have access to some of it. I have great control over Wind manipulation and decent control over Fire, Water, and Earth manipulation. I only used Body manipulation once by accident. It allows me to control a living being for half an hour max but it is difficult to control this power so I never used it.

The one I'm planning to train right now is Mind manipulation. It seems useful but I have not tried it once before so I don't know how it works. There were some birds in the backyard so maybe I can practice on them.

After a lot of attempts, I stop and rest since I was experiencing a headache. I made a little progress but it was still not enough for me to stop today. I need more control over my quirk and practice was one way to do it. It's not like I have a lot of options on where to get help with my quirks. Touya and only a handful of people are some of the people I can rely on.

 I was laying down on the couch when I heard the door open. Its probably Touya or Rio.

"Are you okayIzuku?" I heard Rio asked.

"He probably overused his quirk again," Touya answered.

Both of them are here so that means,

"You're both finish with your work?" I asked. 

" We've bought dinner, Katsudon you're favorite. We can talk while we eat," said Touya.

I made my way to the dinning while they were busy setting the table. Having a headache was not one of my comfort zones.

Soon, we started eating. Both the sushi and katsudon taste great plus, having some company was always great. Eating alone can be really depressing.

"What did you two found?" I asked.

Touya was the first to answer since Rio was busy stuffing his face with some sushi. It was one of his comfort food.

"It's not much but it seems that most of the villains that joined were common street thugs or small-time villains.  The common thing that caught their interest was the promise of All Might's downfall. 

"All Might's downfall? What kind of scheme is that?" I asked highly alarmed.

All Might's downfall, a mysterious plot to have. But what sort of plan do they have?

"We don't know when or how they are gonna attack but judging from All might's only known location, UA maybe the location of the attack."

Touya was giving me a serious look. Rio stopped eating and stayed silent. This information was making my headache worse. Their target was Dad and although I don't have a great relationship with him doesn't mean I won't do something to help.

"The information I got maybe helpful," Rio said, gaining our attention.

"I've spoken with one of the villains that joined and she said that the recruiter got a secret weapon or something that could kill All Might. What that weapon is, we don't know. They were ordered to be on standby until further instruction. The number that joined were said to be more than fifty. Other than what Dabi told you, I have no more lead."

More than fifty villains joined the scheme. Villains of that number are hard to deal with. Even if they were common thugs, it would still consume more time but what alarmed me was something else. How did an unknown villain manage to persuade a large number of villains in just a short amount of time? The secret weapon was also a huge question. No other information was available to us. Things were getting messier by the day.

After eating, both Touya and Rio offered to help me with my quirk. We were in the living room and I told them all about the problem I have with my quirk. A moment later, Rio suggested a few possible solutions. 

After an hour or two, I manage to improve much more thanks to Rio's advice. We soon called it a night since my headache got worse and I still got school tomorrow. They decided to stay the night since it was already late. Touya went to his claimed room while Rio went to the other.  I went to my room and went to sleep.

( The Next Day )

I'm currently on my way to UA, I was still having a headache but it was a little better than last night. Touya was kind enough to make breakfast before going back to sleep. Rio left early and went to work.

As I was within a short distance from the school gate, I notice a lot of people were crowding the area. On closer inspection, they seem to be from the media. Great. They are blocking the gate. But I better get going before I'm gonna be late. 

"What kind of teacher is All Might!?"

"What kind of lesson does he teach!?"

I was stopped by the media. I was cornered to be exact. They're rumbling questions that were making my headache worse. Lucky for me, Aizawa came to my rescue. He wraps me with his scarf. This was not how I want to start my day.
