Chapter 53: Unexpected Development (1)

—

I could hear some "Eh?" from my new classmates at the words of the green head. 

Izuku didn't have much change in appearance, truthfully, he just had a more well-defined body and was a bit more stylish than Canon. Though this was still enough to make him look like a completely different person.

Izuku Midoriya… what exactly happened to him for him to…

<Izuku Midoriya - Protagonist - Tier 4>

...Reach Tier 4?

The "Protagonist" title after his name glowed golden, I guess that's one of the reasons why he is here. System, any explanation?

The system luckily replied immediately.

[As you know, master, the Omniverse possesses a Will. That's the same with worlds as well. Each planet has a 'Will', of course not the same as humans, but they're aware enough to make sure their existence is safe. That's why, in every era, they choose an "Avatar" who they nurture and protect to fend off an evil that would threaten the world's existence in the near future. These chosen ones are the "Protagonist".]

She continued. [In every Era, after the previous Protagonist dies, or at least when the World calculates the current Protagonist to not be strong enough for the next threat, a new one is picked, such as in this case, My hero Academia. This world's previous Protagonist was Toshinori Yagi, but when the World realised that this man who's been weakened greatly won't be able to fend off the next incoming threats, it chose Izuku Midoriya as it's next protector.]

Goddammit. That explains a lot. It's like One Piece, kinda, like how Gol D. Roger was basically the Protagonist before Luffy's birth. Many things are making sense now from different anime… but that's not the point here. 

The point is, Izuku Midoriya is protected by the world itself. That's why now he has a quirk, that's why he is now standing inside Class 1-A.

But why though?

I used an Observe on him to see his quirk.

[Quirks: 

(1) Attraction-Repulsion: Can attract and repel anything below the weight of 9 TON.

(2) Astral Projection: The ability to voluntarily project the astral body (consciousness), being associated with out-of-body experience, in which the astral body becomes separate from the physical body.]

First of all, two Quirks, fucking All for One is involved, and next, even then, why? These two abilities aren't that strong. Why did the world choose him as the Protagonist? Shouldn't Mirio be the Protagonist? I am not counting myself since I am a life from an outer world, so that might disqualify me, but I don't see the reason why Mirio isn't the Protagonist.

Meaning, 1. The Will of the World picked Izuku just when he was born, or when All Might got injured, and now it can't change him at a whim for whatever reason. 2. The plans the Will of the World makes aren't absolute, as I was able to change them unknowingly, causing Deku to not get OFA. 

Meaning, it doesn't matter if Izuku Midoriya is a bit stronger than the others here, he is no threat to me… or wait, fuck.

Astral Projection…

Fuck.

Izuku Midoriya stood in front of the whole class with a magnificent grin on his face. His eyes drifted by his classmates, people who he believed to be below him in the grand scheme of things.
