The kids who did the two exams waited for their test results to be shown showing them who would become students for U.A. Izuku spent the exam helping and saving the other students using the support gear his sponsor gave him to use. His sponsor is the new support gear company Nazarick, and even trained him to use it.

A representative of the company was sent to oversee the support gear in action, a penguin with the same type of quirk that gives him a human mind like the principal of the school Nezu, Eclair Ecleir Eicler. He uses a 6 foot tall power armor to walk around in, as he has flippers that can hold things. And also keeps him nice and cool as he is a penguin after all and lives at the South Pole.

“Izuku Midoriya please go to room 35,” a voice on the speaker said.

Walking down the hallway Izuku found room 35 and upon entering it he saw Eclair Eclair Ecleir, in the room with the principal Nezu.

“Hello Midoriya. Pleasure to meet you. I’m Nezu, U.A.’s principal. First of all I’d like to say that I’m extremely impressed with your performance in this exam. You showed tremendous skill for someone your age. Secondly I’d like to apologize-” Nezu was saying but was cut off by Eclair Eclair Ecleir.

“The rodent and the other teachers decided that because you don’t have a quirk you can’t be in the hero course, he is offering a fully paid general ed course and try again during the sport festival. Only because my company is only offering our products to the school only if you’re in it, otherwise they wouldn’t even be making the offer,” Eclair Eclair Ecleir said.

“They only care because of your company,” Izuku said.

“Yes,” Eclair Eclair Ecleir said.

“Being a hero is dangerous and we just feel,” Nezu began to say.

“That anyone without a quirk can’t be a hero. Fine, I’ll just be the villain. Return their memories,” Izuku said.

“What?” Nezu asked as the once bright sky outside the window began dark and memories flooded back to him.

His near death caused something to awaken in Izuku Midoriya, not a quirk something else. Allowing him to bring to life people and creatures out of horror both known and unknown to this world. After being treated by Recovery Girl and the others with healing quirks, he woke up and found himself the master of horrors. Things were tense as Izuku didn’t know what to make of his minions and what to do with them.

A number of his minions all wanted him to go on a slaughter and be a villain. All Might having met with him before tried to convince Izuku to become a hero. Even after telling him that without a quirk he couldn’t be a hero. Then Bill Cipher a yellow triangle with one eye, a tophat and bow tie suggested a test to see if any of the hero schools of Japan would take a quirkless student.

Nezu remembering everything could only stare at Izuku in horror of what he just did. The chance Izuku gave Japan to show him that he shouldn’t be a villain, was all for nothing.

“I erased your memory so that there wouldn’t be a gun pressing up against your head in your decision of taking me as a student without a quirk. I can’t be a hero without a quirk, that I’m always be less than anyone who does have a quirk no matter what it is. Fine, I won’t be a hero but a villain,” Izuku said as he and Eclair Eclair Ecleir teleported away.

Nezu looked around as he clutch his head in his paws. He and the others just doomed Japan. (1)

Later -

All of Japan and the rest of the world had just watch the chance U.A. was given to show that they would accept a quirkless student who has earned it into their hero course. Go and told Izuku that without a quirk he couldn’t be a hero. All the staff and kids had their memories returned to them, with the staff of the school remembering what was at stake and that they blew it.

And it wasn’t just U.A. but also all the schools of Japan that have a hero course. All the schools were given a chance to show that after they said that they would take a quirkless student, Izuku had all of their memories erased so that they would all act like he wasn’t the leader of an army of horror creatures and people. And all showed themselves that they would only talk that they would but acting on it is another thing and would only accept him as a general ed student. And only because of the made up company that gave him support equipment, telling the school that they only give the school the equipment only if Izuku was a student.

The news channels all are reporting on the failure of the schools in keeping their word that they would accept a quirkless student. And reporters asking why wouldn’t they take a quirkless student who earned it. The news channels all suddenly showed Izuku standing in front of a glowing pool of yellow liquid held in a pool. He’s dress in normal clothes for someone his age. A black shirt, and black pants.

"I gave them a chance to show that if it came down to it, that they would accept a quirkless into U.A. that someone like me could be a hero. Just words as they showed that even when I showed that I have what it takes and got a high enough score, that it’s still not enough for them. For someone who doesn’t have a quirk can’t be a hero, by their standards. All Might said anyone can be a hero, but he being born quirkless and only given his quirk. Still saw me another quirkless as someone who couldn’t be a hero without a quirk. He and the other teachers of the school told me that it doesn’t matter if I don’t have a quirk, that I could be a hero. Which is why, I erased their memories so that they just thought that the school exams were happening. So that they would treat me like I was just another hopeful student to be, just one that doesn’t have a quirk. And they showed you all watching what they are, that if all of this didn’t happen where, I didn’t have an army of monsters and horror villains at my command, I couldn’t be a hero in their eyes only another general education student,” Izuku said to the world watching.

He brings up a screen showing the same thing happening at all the other hero school. Where he did well enough to get into the hero course, but because he’s quirkless he couldn’t be a hero. And then the memories of the teachers and the other kids at the schools all came back. All the teachers who told him he couldn’t be a hero without a quirk, staring in horror at what they had done once they remembered what was on the line.

“The only schools I didn’t try are the all girl schools. But the point is clear, I gave all of Japan a chance to show me that a school would let me have a chance of being a hero. And they all claim that because I didn’t have a quirk it be too dangerous. Well at least all of you know who to blame for what’s coming next. They all convince me I can’t be a hero, I won’t be a hero. I will be Horror Master instead,” Izuku said in a tired voice.

Soft music began playing in the background.

'I'm so tired of all of this pretending'
'Where's my reward for all I had to suffer?'

Izuku softly sang as he walks around the edge of the pool.

'I followed all the rules'
'I did everything by the book'
'I never asked for anything that wasn't mine'
'I waited patiently for someone to give me a chance'
'But when it finally came to show my worth'
'No one gave me a chance to show my worth'
'And now I feel this overwhelming pain'
'I mean it's in my veins'
'I mean it's in my brain'
'My thoughts are spinning like a spiral'
'I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame'
'I know exactly who to blame'

What could only be called darkness with a yellow taint, began flowing out of the pool and spread around the room. The darkness isn't touching Izuku.

'I never thought of myself as evil'
'I always thought that I'd be the hero'
'And there's no in between'
'Cause if I can't have that'
'Then I would be the leader of the dark'
'And the bad'
'Now there's a devil on my shoulder'
'Where the angels used to be'
'And they'll be calling me the king'

The darkness covered the entire room with the only light source being the glowing yellow pool and the flashes of glowing yellow lights from the darkness. Giving Izuku an eerie background as he continues to sing.

'Being nice and kind was my pastime'
'But I've been hurt for the very last time'
'And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me'
'The anger burns my skin, third-degree'
'Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery volcano'
'There's nobody going to change that now’
'They're gonna bow to the Evil King'
'Your nightmare's going to be my dream'
'Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes'

Izuku raised his hands as the darkness began consuming him, turning his skin dark with cracks of yellow light. He stared down at the pool of glowing yellow liquid.

'I never thought of myself as evil'
'I always thought that I'd be the hero'
'And there's no in between'
'Cause if I can't have that'
'Then I would be the leader of the dark'
'And the bad'
'Now there's a devil on my shoulder'
'Where the angels used to be'
'And he's calling me the king of evil (calling me, calling me)'
'The king of horror (calling me, calling me)'
'The king of horror (calling me, calling me)'

Izuku turns around and falls over backwards into the glowing green pool with a completely blank face. The yellow liquid bubbles as something is happening down below. Floating out of the yellow liquid came an older looking Izuku. He is now dressed in a tuxedo fitted to his more mature body, colored light purple, with a white undershirt, black shoes, a black bow tie and black tophat completed the outfit. And is holding a black hook cane in his right hand that he’s tapping his fingers on. It's his eyes that caught everyone's attention as they're both have yellow coloration, with black slits for pupils. And sang in a distorted voice that echoed like two people talking at the same time.

'Something's pulling me'
'It's so magnetic'
'My body is moving'
'Unsure where I'm headed'
'All of my senses have left me defenseless'
'This darkness around me'
'Is promising vengeance'
'The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive'
'But there’s nothing to lose anymore'
'When you're lonely, friendless, and everyone sees as worthless’
'So my only interest is showing this world'
'That I am the king'
'And my reign will be endless (endless)'

Izuku, no Horror Master floated while glowing in yellow power. The yellow light vanished the darkness from the room.

'I want what I deserve'
'I want to rule this world'
'Sit back and watch them all learn'
'It's finally my turn, to make them suffer’

The room shifted as Horror Master using his powers rearranged the room. He created a grand throne room, with the pool staying where it is.

'If they want a villain for a king'
'I'm gonna be one like they've never seen'
'I'll show them what it means'
'Now that I am that'
'I will be the ruler of the dark and the evil'
'Cause the devil's on my shoulder'
'Where the angels used to be'
'And they’re calling me the king of evil (calling me, calling me)'
'The king of horror (calling me, calling me)'

Horror Master sat down on his throne smiling at the camera.

'I want what I deserve'

Japan -

The teachers of the schools who had rejected Izuku after promising him that he can still be a hero even if he’s quirkless, could only stare at what they have done. He gave them all a chance to show that he could get in, by erasing their memories so that the threat of him commanding an army of monsters and horror villains wasn’t a factor to their decisions. And all of them showed that without it, that they would never allow him a chance to be a hero.

“We just created a new villain,” Nezu said as he and the other staff stared at the screen.

Horror Master’s Lair -

“Now the bloodbath will start but before that, I need to lay down some ground rules for my minions. Anyone who gives up isn’t to be killed, and young children aren’t to be killed. As for the heroes and the schools, I want to see some horror level gore, show why you’re legends of horror. Tentacle monsters and other hentai monsters, I want to see action from you all, and I don’t mean just the women, the men too, than after you’re all done, the others get their turn,” Izuku said to the camera.

A door opened and Inko Midoriya came in with the minions the Day sisters and Huntress who were guarding the door had no idea what to do when Inko pushed them aside to see her son.

“Izuku wait,” Inko said who is the only one Izuku cares enough to listen to now.

“I gave them a chance and you saw it, without a gun being pressed up against the backs of their heads they would never allow someone like me without a quirk be a hero,” Izuku said.

“That’s just it there’s still one school left,” Inko said.

“There is?” Izuku asked.

Bill appeared on a tv screen.

“Yup there’s one school left. Besides those all girl schools. But come on the boy accidentally being accepted into an all girl school only happens in fiction. Or because there’s not enough girls the school has to start allowing boys in,” Bill said.

“Alright sorry people the slaughter has to wait. I gave my word and unlike the hero schools I’m going to keep it,” Izuku said.

“Awww,” the Day sisters said from the doorway.

“What school is it?” Izuku asked.

Stardew Valley -

Once the sea side town was thriving thanks to the local mine bringing in people to the valley. But that was over 20 years ago, when the mine ran dry and was shutdown. Pelican Town use to have a population around 4,000 to 6,000 now only has less than a hundred people left. Without the mine, the town went bust and more and more young people left till there was only a few left.

The reason why people still stop at the town is because of the gas station by the bus stop and the Jojo Mart. Also the train station, where trains stop now and then to repair or refuel, where the people on board would go and explore the town. Shopping at the stores that are still open. There is also the festivals that lure in tourist to the town.

The old school house is still open to the two remaining children that are still in the town. A relict of a time when the town was more alive with people. The school use to teach heroes but the class has been empty for years. And with only two students, there are only 3 teachers left in the school and only one of them has a quirk. (2)

Pestonya S. Wanko, has the outer appearance of a beautiful lady but has a head of a dog and a vertical scar on her face running down the center with signs of stitching. Is the representative of the Nazarick company. And is talking with the headmaster of the school an old one eyed man named Marlon.

“Why would a big time company like yours have any interest in a place like Stardew?” Marlon asked.

“My company is testing out new support equipment for the quirkless to use. Izuku has been trained and knows how to operate them. But they still need to be field tested,” Pestonya said.

“And seeing how this is a rural out of nowhere school, this be a good place for your company to test it out of the public eye,” Marlon said.

“Yes,” Pestonya said.

“It has been years since Gil taught the hero class and that was as the assistant teacher but after Juire left town, he’s the only one left. And he’s also quirkless like me. Penny is the only one with a quirk and it’s spinning her head around. Are you sure there isn’t any other school? Izuku will be sharing class with Jas and Vincent who are much younger than him,” Marlon said looking out the window where Izuku is showing off the support gear to the two kids in question.

“We’re sure,” Pestonya said.

“Ok than, just need the paperwork signed and he can start on Monday,” Marlon said.

“Just like that, no exam?” Pestonya asked.

“Look at this place, we’re not going to be picky. He has a clean record and seems to be a nice kid,” Marlon said.

Horror Master’s Lair -

“One of my clones has been accepted into a hero school. A out of nowhere school that only has 2 other students. But I gave my word to give Japan a chance. So the slaughter is postponed for now,” Izuku said.

“What do you mean postponed?” Inko asked.

“Mom, I said I would give Japan a chance only if I’m accepted into a school, which all the other schools failed. It doesn’t mean that’s the test. It just means I’m giving them a chance to prove themselves to me. That they will accept a quirkless pro hero from a rural school out in the middle of nowhere. And yes, I’m going to be erasing the minds of people so that they have no idea what’s at stake till after they treat my clone as they would to any other quirkless person. Just like the schools,” Izuku said.

”But that would mean…,” Inko said realizing what her son is getting to.

“They will see my clone as worthless and tell him he can’t be a hero and only then will they have their memories back and realized what they have done,” Izuku said. “It’s not my fault they can’t be good people like they claim to be.”

Author's Note

1 - Has this ever happen where someone erases the memories so that people would act like something ever happen and only when it’s over do they have their memories return to them?

2 - The school is where the Community Center is in the game, which the town has been expanded to be more realistic from the game.
