Chapter 38 - TO HEAVEN WITH SATAN!
Dear Izuku,
If you have decided to open this letter before the time I told you to open it, you have already lost ten points on your grade. I will know as the stamp has a program in it to let me know when you have open the letter.
Welcome to the second part of your exam! As you may know by now, if you open the letter on time, your travel partner is Yagi Toshinori, or All Might. I have set you two together as there are benefits to your relationship if it were to improve. You know as well as I that Yagi has a time limit to be All Might. However, on I-Island, he has to be All Might as that is on his passport. While representing UA, you must protect Yagi from going over his time limit. You should know the signs if he is. If you believe he is pushing it, you can bring him to a secluded area and hack the cameras to give him a break. You can ONLY control the cameras when it is needed. You CAN NOT hack the entire island for personal entertainment. This will automatically fail you.
In addition to protecting All Might, you must stay out of trouble. Below is a list of things you can not do. If you do, it also shows how many points will be abducted.
Opening letter before being told: 10 points.
Not going: Automatic failure. This means a zero.
Killing All Might: Automatic failure.
Hijacking the plane to go back: Automatic failure.
Hijacking the plane to crash: Automatic failure.
Hijacking the plane to go on a free vacation: Automatic failure. (You can only seize the aircraft if needed)
Getting arrested: 50 points.
Getting bounty: 50 points.
All Might getting caught as Yagi: Automatic failure.
Hijacking I-Island - Automatic failure.
Leaving All Might behind: Automatic failure.
Leaving All Might for long a long time (can not be left alone any more than 4 hours): 50 points.
Hurting All Might: 50 points.
Giving All Might a bad reputation: Automatic failure.
Drinking: 10 points per shot taken. Expect rehab when you get back.
Smoking: 10 points per cigarette. Expect rehab when you get back.
Doing drugs: 20 points per done. Expect rehab when you get back. If illegally obtained, 40 points.
Being rude to a fan: 10 points per insult.
Getting a bad reputation: 20 points.
Pranking the citizens: 10 points per prank.
Pranking teachers from home: 15 points per prank.
Not coming back before curfew: 1 point per minute.
All Might reports you for horrible behavior: Depends how bad.
This list may expand if necessary.
Have fun and good luck!
Nezu

WHAT KIND OF FUCKERY IS THIS?
I CAN DO NOTHING!
I DO MOST OF THIS DAILY, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO PASS?! MY GAWD, I MIGHT ACTUALLY CRY!
"Young Midoriya? Are you okay?" Yagi asks skeptically. Oh, he's a skeleton at the moment for those who need help to understand.
"NO! SIR, I DO A GOOD MAJORITY OF THIS LIST ON THE SCHEDULE! THIS IS LIKE ASKING A DRUG ADDICT TO STOP DOING DRUGS! IT AIN'T HAPPENING TILL THEY ARE DEAD!"
"Midoriya, calm down. Your panicking is not helping the situation you are in."
"Of course not!"
Thankfully, we have already taken off. I get up from my seat to walk up and down the center lane. Thank above that nobody is on this plane but us, so I only look psychotic to Yagi.
Not that I care.
"Are you aware of why it is this way?" Sadly, I do.
"I'm not ignorant. It's to practice self-control. I know my flaws, believe it or not. It doesn't mean I'm happy with it. I'm willing to admit that self-control is my biggest flaw." I look at Yagi, and if I may be honest for a moment, it's what depression looks like. If depression had to be a person, that person is Yagi. Then All Might...let me think...he's have him on antidepressants!
"Shouldn't you improve your flaw then?"
"I can control myself. I just choose not to."
"May I ask why?" Welcome to therapy with Yagi! We both certainly need it!
"BECAUSE FUCK SOCIETY AND THEIR WAYS!"
"Language!"
"Didn't we go over this already?" Yagi sighs.
"Yes, but still. You have to mature eventually."
"That's what they all say. Who says I'm not the more mature one here?"
"DAMN, HE IS RIGHT!" Patchy screams. WAY TO RUIN THE MOMENT!
"Censor mode and shut up mode on, Patchy." No response. Good, it worked!
"Are you sure you should bring...Patchy with you?" Yagi asks reluctantly.
"He should be quiet now. I'm going to go talk to the pilot!"
"Midoriya, no!"
---
I totally did talk to the pilot, and he was cool with it. His quirk is interesting as well as it lets him deal with the three forces much more manageable than average people. He probably never gets sick from going on roller coasters!
Right now, All Might and I have arrived at I-Island in our hero costumes! Well, a whole-body upgrade for Yagi. Thank God Nezu went ahead and approved mine. I'm still salty that it's my underground costume that will probably never be used for undercover again, but what can I do? I have CAT walking beside me for now, and Patchy is sitting on my shoulder. In my backpack, it has everything I need in life. The rest of the luggage is sent straight to the hotel. Of course, I have my visor on, so I can adjust hearing and all that because this place can be taken over without a problem.
Very easily by someone like me. It's one of those things where it is so intense that the easy ways can be done to get out. I-Island is one of those places. It doesn't help it that it's a flying island.
I just realized that All Might and I being beside each other will get the media crazy. Oh well? I mean, at least I'm not going to be labeled as the villain. Something I did notice, however, is that when the thing scanned us, it showed All Might's actual name at the top. That leads to a question.
"Hey, All Might, how the fuck do you keep your name from the media when it's showing right there?" I ask, attempting to be calm.
"Language. As for your question, I want you to look around to see that nobody is here." It makes sense to a normal person. However...
"All Might, I can hack this place with a little bit of work, but it is possible. They have your name, and now I would like to know your name. You also suck at keeping things a secret. I have no idea how nobody has figured it out yet. Like, if I had this information, I would be going to a reporter immediately for some moolah!"
"Somehow, you made this island look weak security-wise, young Midoriya."
"Sir, my intelligence matches Nezu. I can get anywhere I would like because of boredom."
"Please stay out of trouble."
"Kind of have to. I can't even drink my problems away!"
"I thought you were clean?"
"I am right now!" I can hear All Might saying something about this being a long trip.
Yes. Yes, it will be.
The moment we step out of the terminals into the city, All Might is surrounded by fans. This gets me pushed away from him, so I have to keep my distance. Meanwhile, I will appreciate the beauty of this place.
Like I said previously, this is a technology paradise! So many things to hack, yet I can't! I see people looking at me, suspiciously. That's probably because I have sparks in my eyes, and my costume looks kinda villainous if I may be honest. I was aiming for that. It should look less threatening now without the swords and batons, but eh. That way, people will fuck the fuckity off. I can practically feel the interest in CAT and Patchy, though.
That is expected. They are literal robot animals like no other!
The second thing I notice is that it's all in English. Not that I mind because I'm fluent in too many languages anyway. Time to test my English!
Third, THERE IS FUCKING GODZILLA IN THE DISTANCE! Okay, it goes by a different name, but fuck that because it is going by Godzilla in my book!
Finally, I remember the final little detail. Everyone is allowed to use their quirks here without a license. Of course, I don't have one, so it's useless for me! However, for everyone else, it's a fun land.
Oh, I guess if you want the reason for this place, huh? I-Island was built to put the smartest people together to invent. It has high security, so no villains can get to them. Boring, right?
Anyway, it takes All Might ten minutes to get away from the clingy little bitches. I can say that, right? It's in my head so...
He leads us away to a remote area to stand around a fountain. I'm muting myself here because I don't need to ruin All Might's reputation as that is an 'automatic failure.' When I mean muting, I mean, I put caramel in my mouth for me to enjoy.
I know it's going to happen anyway, but I will set it as a personal challenge.
"Alright, young Midoriya... I'm honestly surprised you're quiet." It takes everything in me not to smack-talk him. When All Might doesn't receive a response, he continues, "We are here because we are waiting for someone special to me. You know you don't have to be completely quiet, right?"
"Which one is it then? It's one or the other, sir! There is no grey area!" I almost screamed.
"For some reason, that makes me feel better. It matches you. You were freaking me out there."
"Okay, back to freaking you out then. Hopefully, they come quickly. We have the main event tonight, and I don't want to be forcing you out of there, sir."
"Of course, Midoriya."
Thankfully, it only takes a couple of minutes. Randomly, I hear a pogo-stick?
Am I going insane finally? I turned around to find a girl on a pogo-stick hopping towards us.
"Uncle Might! It's good to finally see you!" The girl hops off her pogo-stick towards All Might. Of course, the overpowered man catches her effortlessly, and they spin around. There is definitely something familiar about these two. Yet, I'm quick to notice that she uses his hero name with the family name instead of his actual name.
"My goodness! You have grown so big that I don't even recognize you!" All Might enthuses.
"Yeah, I've gotten heavy, huh!?" All Might lifts her up, causing her to giggle.
"Nope, as light as ever," He puts down the girl," Say, where is David?"
"He's at the lab. He has been working on a new breakthrough, and I believe he is close!"
"Ah, what is the man working on this time?"
"I can't tell you because he won't even tell me! He says it's confidential."
"Of course, " Finally, he notices my dumbass, " ah, Melissa, this is young Midoriya."
"Midoriya as in the same boy with the robot cat?!" I can't help but beam. She recognizes me! A boy from another country!
"Yep-a-roo, macaroon! All Might here uses family names, but I go by my given name because I'm too lazy to deal with Japanese ethics! Hello, my name is Izuku! Nice to meet you!" I spin around before raising my hand for a hand-shake. Instantly, she bursts out laughing as she shakes my hand. I got to remember to bleach that later.
"Melissa, nice to meet you! You seriously act this way all the time?" Of course, that is the first question.
"Yip yip! I always act like an attention-seeking little boy." Hey, gotta be honest with the lady. Looking at her now, she is actually beautiful. Melissa has long blonde hair, pretty blue eyes, and a beautiful face in general. Her outfit is interesting to me because it is a button-up white shirt with a pink vest, white pants, pinks socks, and brown boots. It's definitely out there and not in the wrong way, though, maybe for her as it shows her figure well. That will bring the creeps in. We don't need to mention the part that she is taller than me.
Melissa quickly takes note of Patchy on my shoulder, closing inspecting it. She is definitely an inventor. I can tell by her eyes as she is looking over every detail. Patchy, of course, is enjoying the attention and bouncing up and down while squawking some random bullshit.
"It's impressive what you can build and program, Izuku. I would have thought it was an actual parrot if it wasn't for the metal look! And what can CAT do? The announcer didn't do it justice with the explanation!"
TAKE THAT, SHOUTA!
She notices CAT as well. CAT...kinda stands there. CAT isn't built for a personality besides the commands, and even then, it's blunt honesty because it keeps telling me I'm depressed.
Like that's going to change anytime soon!
Then Melissa looks over my hero costume. It takes all my effort not to push her back because she is rather close throughout the whole situation.
"I'm surprised your hero costume is simplistic compared to what you build," Melissa says.
"More than meets the eye." I simply say. Yes, I can be simple. We hear All Might clear his voice, causing us to look up.
"We should head out, you two!" All Might states loudly.
"Oh, right! If we hurry, we will get to papa's lab before he runs off!" With that, she starts running off. All Might and I go after her.
---
Melissa goes in the lab first, leaving All Might and I outside for a moment. Yeah, he can't be in this form much longer. I can tell by his body language. I tug on his sleeve like a child to get his attention. He bends down to hear me clearly.
"This better not last long. We still have things to do tonight." I whisper to him.
"Don't worry: David knows. Melissa does not." How supporting. I nod as I let him stand up again. We hear All Might's cue, walk-in, and I let him go in first. Good thing I did.
"YES, I AM HERE! SHAKING WITH EMOTION FOR OUR HEARTFELT REUNION!" All Might screams as he poses.
. . .
Where's the bleach? AND YOU BITCHES SAY I'M AN OVER-DRAMATIC FUCK?! ALL MIGHT MIGHT JUST TAKE THE CAKE HERE!
The strange thing is that it's similar to what I do! Imagine all the places you could relate to someone, yet here is where I connect to All Might!
I barely notice All Might running forward to swing the man around and dropping him on the floor. I can hear them joking and all that, but I'm recovering mentally.
However, when I do return with their cute little reunion, I finally realize who David is.
David fucking Shield! No, it isn't because of how cool his name sounds. He is the most well-known scientist in the world! He was All Might's partner in America; however, we don't care about that! He won a Nobel quirk prize! He was an inspiration in my childhood! I should have known from just the name David, but I had other things to worry about at the time.
Thinking about it, I feel like I'm third-wheeling this family conversation. I guess this is how a security guard feels.
"Young Midoriya, with how you are, you know who this man is, don't you?" All Might asks, finally bringing me into this conversation.
"David Shield. It's an honor to meet you. You were a huge inspiration in my childhood." I say calmly, though, my body language as otherwise as I'm bouncing my heels to get rid of the excess energy.
"It's nice to know someone has been inspired by my work. Especially from someone like you, Midoriya." I swear my eyes sparkle.
"I go by given names, so no need to worry about confusing Japanese ethics! My name is Izuku. You know me?"
"Of course. CAT is a well-built machine that can do so much! It usually takes years to build it, yet here you can build it within a couple of weeks I heard?"
"Yep, because life decided I can't use my primary weapons!"
"It's going to be interesting to see what you build in the future, especially with the bird on your shoulder already showing another design." I forgot Patchy was here! Quietly, I hear All Might cough. He's close. The sparkles go away, and I can see David's expression wiped away as well. That's a good sign that he does know All Might pretty well.
"Hey, Izuku, it's been a while since All Might and I have seen each other. Do you mind leaving us alone for a while?" I wish I could get away from All Might like that. Too bad, I can't. I know what he is doing, though.
"I am required to stay by All Might a majority of the time due to the face I cause too much trouble, " After saying that, I raise my hand to cover my mouth from Melissa and the other dude in the corner who's kinda just there before adding, " I know." David looks surprised for a moment before nodding. I can tell he is trying to get rid of the two people in the room. I got this man, no worries! I turn to face Melissa, " Hey Melissa, do you mind looking for the other UA students? They tend to cause trouble, especially the ashy blonde dude named Bakugo. You might be interested in him as he has interesting support gear. Just know he is a salty boy."
Got to catch the weakness too, ya'll!
"Oh, of course! Later Papa, Uncle Might, Izuku, and Sam!" With that, Melissa runs off to go cause trouble. One down, one more to go!
David takes over, "Hey, Sam, you should take a break?" The man nods and leaves out the same door. For some reason, he felt off. Thinking about it, David feels off too but not as much. Gut feeling. Nezu told me to trust those, but I have no proof to electrocute him yet.
It might be because scientists are not trust-worthy like in the movies. I don't know! Trust them till they break it is my phrase! A stupid one but one nether the less!
The moment 'Sam' left the room, I snap next to All Might's side to catch him as he turns into Yagi. Gently, I set him on the floor as the old man coughs heavily.
Yagi seriously needs to retire soon.
"I knew it was bad from the email, but not this bad," David says as he tries to comfort All Might. Good, because I ain't willing to do it. I'm relating more to All Might now in personality, not in sickness.
Though, if I end up starting my drinking habit again, I might!
---
David wanted to test Yagi's quirk level, so we are in his lab. Yagi is hooked up in a capsule practically naked besides boxers. David and I are looking at a screen. Thankfully, I'm able to figure out how all this bullshit works. However, I finally figured out what was wrong with Yagi's left side. He has a LITERAL FUCKING VORTEX THERE THAT LOOKS LIKE KUROGIRI! YOU SHOULDN'T BE WORKING WITH THAT SHIT!
Quirk science isn't my specialty because fuck quirks, but I will try my best to explain what a quirk level is. Quirk levels are basically a representation of how powerful a quirk is. The best way to describe it is it's like a leveling system in a video game, except you are stuck with what you got.
The results pop on the screen, and David gasps while I remain quiet. Yagi's quirk level has decreased over the years by quite a bit. Honestly, that is expected when you have one foot in the grave and cough out blood. Age can probably decrease it too, but I don't know enough information to confirm that. With a sigh, David releases Yagi from the capsule.
David questions the man, "Toshi, why are your quirk levels going down so much? Your quirk level should not decrease this much! I know you were seriously injured by All for One, but to get these numbers are absurd. What in the world happened to you? " While his levels have dropped a bit, Yagi, as much as I hate to admit it, is still a powerful person. However, All for One is a name I haven't heard since I broke into the government. He is the top villain of Japan. At least I know where the injury came from. I should have guessed.
However, that comment put me on edge. I quietly asked CAT to record the interaction.
For a moment, Yagi is quiet as he coughs. Finally, he responds, " I suppose, if you are a hero for a long time, your body falls apart." There is silence. Then David starts to speak again.
"At this rate, the symbol of peace will disappear. The only reason Japan can keep its crime rate at six percent is because of your presence. Other countries have around twenty percent, and some are worse than that. Honestly, a part of me wishes you never left America because America could use you." Yagi stands up, walking over to David's side.
"There's no need for you to be so pessimistic, Dave. The world is full of capable pro-heroes, not to mention the good people like you who support them. Besides, I can still be All Might for a few hours each day - " Yagi gets cut off.
"Come on. What if a monstrous villain appears, and you're not capable of saving us again?"
"Listen. Just in case that day comes, understand that I have no intention of stepping down." Then the silence returns once more. Well, for a moment. Yagi speaks up again; however, he is looking at me, " Young Midoriya, can you give us your take on this?"
FINALLY, MY OPINION IS VALIDATED! Too bad, I have to be serious! I can tell David is surprised that Yagi is asking me of all people. Me too, mate!
"Are you sure this is something to ask him, Toshi?" David questions him, probably thinking his close friend is insane. He ain't wrong!
"While Midoriya may seem immature, he has proven himself multiple times. He is aware of how the world works and can come up with the best solution even if it seems ridiculous at the time." David reluctantly nods before looking at me. I straighten up, form a response in my head, and deliver.
"Yes, sir. Please be aware that my viewpoint may be harsh. Both of the statements are valid. Japan has a six percent crime rate because of All Might. The world is full of capable heroes and inventors. However, both of you are too obsessed with the idea of 'peace.' David, you and I should both know that we will never get peace as it will crumble before us. You can only limit the crime. The pro-heroes in Japan are capable of taking the luggage. The problem is All Might has taken too much. The moment All Might is knocked down, Japan will be in hell. All Might is not invincible. You need to help the other heroes. You need to help the next generation.
Yagi, you should not be working as a hero unless in emergency situations. The pro-heroes can handle a little mugging or anything similar. If All for One is powerful as you say, you need to save your energy for him. You are killing yourself. Imagine the world if the symbol of peace suddenly crumbled before them? You should retire and trust the heroes around you. Yagi, All Might, I rather not see you crushed to the ground. As much as I make it seem I hate you, I do care for you kinda. YOU are human. Let us take the lead, sir. Stop making yourself look like you are the only solution, and let us help you."
Yeah, I didn't get my full opinion in there because it would make me suspicious. I can see both of them contemplating what I said. I decide to add on.
"I'm bored, bye-bye!" With that, I walk out of the lab. I may get lost, but it must be better than being in this awkward conversation!
When I leave the room, I finish recording and send it to Nezu. I rather send it to Hizashi since he can distinguish emotion the best out of all of us; however, there was some shit said that he doesn't know. Hopefully, Nezu can help me out here.
---
Good news: I made it out!
Bad news: Where the fuck am I? On the other hand, Nezu warned me to watch out. Shit. I don't want to deal with another villain attack!
Well, the first problem doesn't last long when I hear familiar explosions. It's not triggering the alarms, and I only know one other person who would be allowed to explode, whether in quirk or personality!
I arrive to find my estimation correct! I should go greet myself to get screamed at! The thing is that I have a better idea! You see, Bakugo had to lead me to a villain obstacle course where we have to destroy some robots. Seeing a massive iceberg in the middle of the field leads me to presume my future husband - I mean Todoroki - has been here. I look at the leaderboard to see Todoroki in first place with 14 seconds and Bakugo in second place with 15 seconds.
Oh, so that's what the fight in the middle is about! I can beat them! I sign in as I pull out my phone. You see, these villains are robots. Robots have programs, and programs are hackable. I can hack. Therefore, I can hack them, bitches. Something cool I did is, whenever I use my phone with the visor on, it appears on the visor. So, I can look up at the screen and see what I'm doing while typing on my phone as a keyboard! Anyway, less advertising my hacking! I already got everything set up when I sign in.
There isn't a waiting time! I walk straight on out there, grinning as I step in the center behind Iida, Kirishima, Todoroki, and Bakugo. Pretty much, three of them are arguing while Todoroki is watching. Thankfully, the ice has already melted. The girl coach looks traumatized. I can safely assume that Bakugo must have screamed at her. I nod at her.
"Another last-minute addition, we have Izuku Midoriya! Will he be able to outshine our previous two contestants? We shall see! " The girl announces
All the boys turned around to face me as I do my famous psychotic grin.
"AND GO!"
I press a button on my phone, and the robots shot down.
"OH MY GOD, WE HAVE A NEW FIRST PLACE! IZUKU MIDORIYA AT FIVE SECONDS! AMAZING!" The girl screams as I watch my beautiful face appear on the leaderboard.
"DEKU, WHAT DID YOU DO YOU, IDIOT?!" Bakugo screams as he blasts forward to attack.
"PATCHY, LET'S GO, BABY!" I command the bird. Patchy flies at the boy, crashes into his face, and causes him to fall down. "GOOD BOY, PATCHY!"
"SQUAWK SQUAWK!"
"IZUKU!" I hear my name from the stands. I look up to see Momo, Jiro, Uraraka, and Melissa up there. I quickly run back inside to go to the stands where they are at.
"Heyo! I see you all have met?" I ask.
"Yes! Your class is amazing!" Melissa says excitedly as I hug my sister Uraraka. I would hug Jiro and Momo, but Jiro is not a hugger, and I'm still salty with Momo. I will really need that bleach bath tonight. I'm glad I can fight my pussy phobia somewhat.
"Yeah, they are definitely fighters. Or salty, depending on who you pulled out of the bag." I respond.
Like a magician, Iida appears beside me, " You can not say things like that, Izuku! While you are here, are you going to the party tonight?"
"Being forced to. I have to speak there about my inventions."
"No need to be negative about it! It is a high honor, Izuku!"
"I'm aware of that. I just hate having to be professional."
"You might as well practice it now!" Boo. Thankfully, Melissa breaks this boring chat.
"Hey, I want to go see those two boys at the cafe. I have extra tickets, and I would like to give it to them."
"Other boys?"
"Do you mean Kaminari and Mineta?" Jiro asks.
Melissa, the sweetheart, says, " Yeah! I think they deserve it!" I saw the work wanted ads for a cafe everywhere, so I'm going to assume that is where they come from.
Welp, time to go find them and get ready for tonight because I'm done with emotions right now!
---
Thank whoever is looking over me from above! Melissa was willing to lead me to the hotel AND to the party after I change into my formal wear!
"You look great, sweetheart!" I compliment Melissa as she leads the way. OH, I GOT HER BLUSHING! SCORE FOR ME!
"You look nice too, Izuku. I was wondering what made you choose to wear that instead of a suit? It doesn't look as nice as it could be." Call me out.
"Purely for convenience with my inventions. Otherwise, the suit will get wrinkled."
"That's true."
We arrive at the building, and I open the door for her like a gentleman. With a smile, Melissa walks in. I regret walking in after her.
"IZUKU, DID YOU BLOCK ME AGAIN?!" Iida screams as he karate chops the air.
"Uh...CAT, did I block Iida?" I ask CAT as I still have the visor on.
"Yes, meow. Would you like me to unblock him?" CAT asks.
"Yes, please! That's what happens when you call me to scream that I'm late." I state to him. This riles him up for a moment. So far, it's Iida, Kaminari, Mineta, Melissa, and I that are here. Mineta and Kaminari must be in heaven right now because they are literally drooling over the girl.
Sorry, Melissa.
Thankfully, Momo, Uraraka, and Jiro arrive, all beautiful in their own ways! As a group, we are about to enter the elevator with Iida going over the dumbass rules when...
Dear citizens of I-Island. There is a bomb threat in the city. Everyone must return to their homes until it is clear to come out again. All buildings will be locked down until otherwise. Those who do not go home within ten minutes will be announced as breaking the protocol.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"
