CHAPTER START---
"So, be honest this time, what happened to your Quirk?"
Yagi and Nezu both froze at those words, Nezu's mind racing to solve this problem without starting a fight, while Yagi still had Horizon's hand holding his right hand. Staring into the two blue eyes of Horizon's visor.
He felt a shiver run down his spine, all the hairs at the back of his neck standing on end. This sickening feeling, the sudden change in atmosphere. From a crude but necessary doctor to such an imminent threat. Yagi was astonished, but as All Might he's faced worse.
And as his bright blue pupils stare right back at Horizon, just as when he faced of against the symbol of evil and the countless villains in his life, his eyes never blink. Conviction and hope keep them bright and as unflinching as ever.
"My Quirk was unique," Yagi said.
"Unique how?"
"It allowed the user to get rid of it, allowing me to completely rid myself of it, as you've detected."
"Hmm, I'm not detecting a lie...but this...Quirks are part of us, part of our DNA, this doesn't make sense, it's hard to believe," Horizon says in a low, nearly threatening voice.
"I know," Yagi sighs. "But this is the truth, I got rid of it when I realized that it was time for me to let go, for me to stop clinging to the past and focus on the future, when I finally accepted what was going to happen to me," he lifts his left hand up to touch his side.
A tense silence hangs in the air for a while as everyone holds their breaths, not sure what would happen next.
"Can it happen to me?" Horizon asks.
Yagi shakes his head, "no, this was a feature of my Quirk, it can't affect others, and even if it could, you know I'm essentially Quirkless now, running on the last embers of my power."
Horizon doesn't detect any lies, so instead he focuses on Yagi's body. Pouring more and more energy into scanning him, so much that he could barely support a room large enough to fit UA's main building.
He mapped much of his DNA and genome before taking a step back and dropping back in his seat. Mentally exhausted, although he refused to show it.
To both the people sitting across from him, nothing changed.
Taking a few deep breaths he steadies his mind, "I don't particularly care about you, obviously I'm interested in how your Quirk managed to do that. But I just had to make sure that you can't remove my Quirk," he shrugs.
Yagi and Nezu both breathe a sigh of relief, "well I'm glad that's all taken care of," Nezu says.
"But I won't be healing him anymore," Horizon cuts their little celebration short.
"What? Why?" Yagi asks.
"Because you've wasted my time. I performed a miracle to heal you yet the energy reserves in you diminished so much, unnaturally fast. You've been using your Quirk damn near every day since that first day we met. Plus it's not like I could do any more for you, just try not to get hurt, you're in the contract so I'll honor that...but I'd rather not waste my time healing self-sacrificial trash."
"Ah---I see," Yagi bows politely, "thank you."
"Your timer is down to six years," Horizon says. "That's less than half of what I originally gave you, try not to waste it. Honestly, nothing about you is normal, not surprising since you're the only person to probably ever exist that's born with a Quirk while not having the extra bone in their toe that Quirk users have...such an odd case..."
"That's impossible! Even you haven't been able to---" Izuku cuts himself off. "WAIT! No! I mean I'm grateful for everything you've done for me it just---"
"I know what you meant kid, it's fine," Yagi sighs. "Honestly it felt like crap sitting there and watching him be better at my job than me, but the reason I'm telling you this is so that you don't underestimate him, don't give him any information at all unless you want him to put the pieces together, got it?"
"Yes sir, I'll be sure to keep my distance and not say a word."
"Good, but don't forget that there will be things you can learn from all of your classmates, especially this one."
"Of course, I always look for things I can learn from others."
"That's one of the many things that I like about you kid," Yagi chuckles. "As for the kid I warned you about, his name is Horizon, trust me, you won't be able to miss him..."
---Nezu's Office...
"So what do we need to talk about?" Horizon asks.
"Oh, Eraserhead is about to give your classmates their first little taste of life in UA, I figured we could watch together," Nezu says cheerfully as he removes the remote from his vest and activates the hologram between them. This time to an empty training field.
"Uh, shouldn't you be at the entrance ceremony mister principal?"
"Vice-Principal Ectoplasm can cover for me this time, I'd much rather be here. I promised you competition, this is my first chance to make good on that promise."
"And shouldn't I be down there too, not that I want to be."
"Oh this Quirk Apprehension test isn't necessary for you, it's simply a way of getting the message into their heads that Quirks are part of their beings. While society at large suppresses the use of Quirks unless you're a hero, here at UA we encourage Hero Course students to use their Quirks wherever they can effectively apply them. Most of your classmates went to public schools where they would get in trouble for Quirk use so this message will take a while for them to understand."
"Hmm, makes sense," Horizon thinks it over for a second. "Most?"
"Mhm, Todoroki was homeschooled, just like you, and I assume he must have been trained very well by his father."
"Todoroki? Like Endeavour?"
"His son, yes."
"Interesting, Endeavour is the hero with the highest level of Quirk-Mastery, highest in the world as far as I can see... it's actually very impressive, even by my standards, if his son is anything like that it could actually be fun to slap him around," Horizon chuckles at the thought.
"Really? 'Slap him around', are you that confident against the child of the number 2 hero?"
Horizon laughs at that ridiculous question, "trust me, basic elemental Quirks can't beat me, no matter how strong they are, but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun before winning..."
"They're taking the field," Nezu says as nineteen students begin walking onto the training ground. "I'm sure at least one of them will have a Quirk you find interesting..."
"We'll see about that..."
