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..."
'But one that I'll eventually solve,' Horizon thinks to himself as Yagi and Nezu share a moment of relief. 'I can't mess with genetics yet, but after an entire year of traveling and training I was able to map his genetic sequences while making contact for a few minutes, I'll figure out more about this whole situation on my own, pressing them any further could complicate things and put my position at risk...'
"Thank you for not prying," Yagi nods respectfully. "And for everything that you've done for me."
"Tch, don't mention it." Horizon turns to Nezu and checks the time on his phone, only five minutes until homeroom starts. "Are we done here?"
"Toshinori has something to take care of," Nezu gives Yagi a curt nod, thankfully he seems to have gotten the hint. "But you and I have some other things to discuss."
"What things?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll at least find it entertaining."
"Then I'll be on my way," Yagi gets up and gives them both a nod, "I need to go make a quick phone call, I wish you both a good day..."
Nezu nods and Horizon makes no effort to respond, only sitting in his spot and taking deep breaths, trying to restore what stamina he can after scanning Yagi for so many details. At the moment he didn't even have a ROOM open, he was simply that drained.
Stepping into the hallway Yagi immediately dug into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Seeing it was only a few minutes before homeroom begins he frantically called Izuku.
'As expected of a fanboy,' he thinks as the call is answered before the first ring can even finish.
"Uh, hello, I'm walking to class..." Izuku says in a quiet voice, not wanting anyone to know he's talking to All Might.
"Right, young Midoriya, there's something I need to warn you about before homeroom," Yagi scans the hallway, thankful the top floor of this tower was currently barren, as usual.
"Warn me?!"
"Settle down kid, it's one of your classmates, I need you to be careful around him."
"Hmm, is he dangerous?" Izuku asks with a shaky voice.
"In a way, listen I know you don't have much time but I'll make it real simple. You've got a lot more competition than I ever expected, principal Nezu has been bragging about this kid for a while and it looks like it wasn't all hot air."
"The principal?"
"Yeah, the same doctor I told you was able to somewhat heal me... that guy."
"A doctor?! But I thought you said classmate?"
"I did," Yagi says. "He's in your class, he just turned 16, and he's a serious monster, don't give him any information about One For All, got it, stick to the cover that your Quirk is just Super-Power."
"Got it...but, is it really that bad?"
"Well, I just had a casual checkup with him, it took him all of two seconds to notice the difference from a year ago, that my Quirk is gone. He kept scanning me, he supposedly read my DNA, if that's true then---"
"He'll notice One For All in me," Izuku sounded like he wanted to cry already.
"Stop with the waterworks," Yagi groans.
"Sorry..." he sniffles.
"Listen, his Quirk is touch-based, just don't let him touch you and you'll be fine. But when he touches you he can also detect any lies you try to tell. Not to mention he was able to figure out what you've been doing wrong with One For All and how to fix it at a glance. He basically saw a picture of you before you left the ground to smash that robot and gave a full breakdown."
"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..."

CHAPTER START---
"He's up, cripple boy," Horizon says, leaning back on Nezu's couch with a bottle of water in his hand.
"You're calling him 'Cripple Boy'?" Nezu asks, watching Izuku walk up to throw the baseball.
"It's what he'll be if he doesn't get his shit together, but if Eraserhead is as much of a hardass as you said his hero career ends here," Horizon shrugs and gives the screen his full attention.
Nezu takes a sip from his second cup of tea. "Unfortunately unless Midoriya has made some great improvements that appears to be the case, normally he'd expel you for not showing up on the first day of school, but since you're with me he can't do that."
They see Izuku eventually throw the ball by only activating One For All in a single finger, and Nezu smiles, but Horizon just sighs in disappointment.
"It's rare for a Quirk to hurt the user like that," Horizon says. "Most Quirks have a kind of built-in recoil absorption, but somehow you let in two Quirks without that adaptation. One breaks bones and the other needs a diaper."
"True, but Midoriya and Aoyama have great potential, as he's just shown," Nezu says as they watch Eraserhead restrain Bakugo.
As they continue watching the test, Eraserhead guides the students to the sit-up, pushup, and long-distance running sections, and both Nezu and Horizon can't help but get a bit bored.
"So how much did you tell your staff about me?" Horizon asks.
"Absolutely nothing," Nezu cackles a bit but gets himself under control. "I think it'll be quite amusing to see their reactions, especially since many of them were against me breaking our 'No Scouting' policy for you, they were up in arms after I didn't require you to take the entrance exam, or even the recommended students exam."
"And you want me to show off and prove them wrong, right?"
"Right, it's quite obvious that I'm playing favorites for you, so I'd like you to show that I made the right decision to do so."
"Not like that wasn't the plan anyway," Horizon shrugs. "Popularity is the easiest way to climb the ranks, so I'll be using everything I can."
"Excellent, now, did you see any Quirks from your classmates that you believe can challenge you?" Nezu asks with a smirk.
"Nope, not even close," Horizon casually says, then takes a sip of his water.
"Todoroki?" Nezu asks.
"I can Warp, that makes projectiles and brawlers pretty much useless, plus my sword can out damage literally everything in that class. Could have maybe been fun if the guy would use his fire, but it looks like he isn't confident with that side of his body."
"Bakugo?"
"Same thing as Todoroki, just he seems more loud and annoying. But he can't hit me and I can beat his damage, very badly at that."
"Hmm," Nezu strokes his chin for a moment. "Midoriya?"
"Super-Power that he can't even control, what a joke."
"Iida?"
"Warping makes speed irrelevant since my reaction time is near instant," Horizon shrugs.
"Fumikage?"
"Dark Shadow huh... I'm fairly sure it sucks against light, judging by the name and appearance, so I can counter it."
"Naval Laser?"
"That had better be a joke," Horizon grumbles.
"Hardening?"
"I can break any defense."
"Zero Gravity?"
"Doesn't really work against people who aren't dependant on gravity to move, like fliers or warpers."
"Tail?"
"Oh now you're just trying to be funny," Horizon chuckles. "He's basically any Quirkless fuck with a stick."
"Invisibility?"
"Hmm, I can sense people, but is it mutation or emitter type?"
"Mutation," Nezu says.
"Damn...if it was Emitter I'd be able to see her...but wait, if she isn't blind then it's an emitter type, right? True invisibility is impossible as a mutation because it would make you either blind or a pair of floating eyeballs," he says.
"Her application said Mutation, and she's been invisible since birth," Nezu says. "Perhaps it was wrong, but you'll find out soon enough."
"What about her?" Horizon asks, gesturing to a pretty girl with a wild ponytail. "The one doing situps with Jiro."
"Momo Yaoyorozu---"
"Yaoyorozu?" Horizon asks, surprise in his voice. "Never expected that, that family is almost as rich as me," he chuckles.
"You would have bumped them off the top twenty most wealthy dynasties in Japan if your assets were publicly audited," Nezu says. "Still nowhere close to being number one however."
"Well I'm sorry if I don't have the biggest brain on the planet to work stocks and sell patents, but unlike you, I don't have to sink all my money into funding UA, how much does it cost you a year? Construction is dirt cheap since Quirks exist, but you really like using robots..."
"The cost is astronomical, plus the infrared security system is also quite expensive, since UA is a dozen kilometers across."
"Yeah well I'm sure the hero tax on people like All Might and Endeavour paid for some of it, right?"
"Aside from them that hasn't covered much," Nezu shrugs. "But the tax isn't about the money, not entirely."
"Mhm," Horizon nods. "A completely free education with all books and uniforms included...on the condition that you get 5% of their hero salary for the first 10 years of hero work, a good way to make sure you don't let any good Quirks slip by just because they couldn't afford the otherwise insane cost of studying here."
"Exactly, and speaking of Ms. Yaoyorozu, she was a recommended student."
"Really, her Quick is Item Creation?" Horizon asks, seeing her making roller skates and starting the long-distance run.
"No, just Creation, any non-living thing can be made from her fat cells."
Horizon stares at the screen for a moment, "she's made a baseball pitcher, skates, a vice, car jacks, and a few other things...so either she ignores the laws of thermodynamics...or her fat cells are extra dense because of her Quirk."
"She hasn't mentioned either of those," Nezu says.
"She probably hasn't noticed, most people don't notice things like that. I didn't notice the changes my Quirk makes to my body until I started blacking out...wasn't eating enough," he shrugs.
"Well that explains why you're always eating when I see you, you're big but two pizzas is still a bit much."
"You'll get used to it, but as for Creation girl, I'm guessing she isn't allowed to make firearms or certain weapons right, because from the looks of it her items don't decay."
"Nope, she's forbidden from making any reusable illegal items, grenades and such are fine because they're destroyed with each use, but guns are a no-no," Nezu says in a cheery voice. "Are you perhaps interested in her?"
"I was..."
"Really? Well, you do have a type from what I've seen."
Horizon grumbles, "not like that Nezu, and you know I can't date heroes, that's a nightmare. Her Quirk, I've never seen anything so close to reaching mine, not as powerful but the versatility makes up for it. If she didn't have such limited fuel then we could have maybe had a good fight, even I can't be ready for everything she can do with that Quirk."
"Exactly why we accepted her, along with her getting the third highest score on the recommended entrance exam, but the first place winner declined UA after the exam for some reason," Nezu says in a sad voice, a small sigh escapes his mouth as he recalls such promising talent walking away from UA.
"Must have been one hell of an obstacle course race... too bad he didn't accept, maybe he would have been some competition."
"His Quirk was wind manipulation---"
"Nevermind, add him to the trash pile..." Horizon groans in disappointment and leans back.
Nezu shakes his head, "I just hope you don't embarrass yourself when the time comes to back up all your talk," he glances to the screen, seeing the field completely empty. Looking at his phone he reads a short message from Eraser Head. "It looks like Midoriya won't be expelled for his performance today."
"What? That doesn't make any sense, why?"
"You can ask him when you see him, however, I have absolute trust in Aizawa," Nezu hops down from the couch and walks over to Horizon.
"What?" he looks down at Nezu.
"Your classmates will be back in the classroom soon to get a breakdown of the UA syllabus, but I'll need to steal Aizawa away for a few minutes to discuss some things with Vlad King, he's class 1Bs teacher, let's go to your homeroom, I'd like to say hello to your classmates, and explain your absence so Aizawa doesn't snap," Nezu makes a 'pick up' gesture similar to a baby.
Horizon groans and shakes his head, "I'm not carrying you."
"C'mon, I'm less than a meter tall, look at these adorable tiny legs," he gestures to his feet and moves them about. "You're 193cm -6ft3-, just carry me so we'll save time."
Horizon looks at Nezu, then at his metal case, and Katana, "I can't believe this."
"The sword can remain in my office, there isn't a spot for it in the shelves," Nezu says.
Horizon sighs and reaches down, placing Nezu to sit on his shoulder as he stands up, "I can't believe I'm doing this, do you do this with everyone?" he asks while picking up his metal case, book, and pencil case, all with his logo on them.
"Mostly with Vlad King, he's about as tall as you are, but a lot nicer."
"You'll get over it..." Horizon mutters as they leave the office, careful and bored steps toward class 1A...
