For The Ask Game How About An Au Where A Teacher In Aldera Feel That Izuku Potential Wasted For Being

For the ask game how about an au where a teacher in aldera feel that Izuku potential wasted for being quirkless so that they ask all for one to give quirk to Izuku?

1 - There is one teacher in Aldera who has the braincell but, as it's often the case with such people, no one listens to him. In any case, he doesn't believe that Bakugou is their golden ticket and would like the rest of the school to stop picking on someone with so potential. So he gives Izuku a safe harbor when things become too much. And he tells AFO about this young man who has a lot of potential.

2 - He takes his time before introducing the idea of getting a quirk. At first, he says things like "It's unfair how no one sees your potential just because you like a quirk." "You are so special." "You only need someone to give you a chance." And then, he explains that there is a way. That he knows someone, that he is only doing this because of how much he cares about Izuku, and so on.

3 - Midoriya gains a quirk. The teacher gains a favor (maybe money, maybe something else). All for One gains a pawn or even a spy. All is well.

4 - At least, it's what the teacher thinks.

5 - Izuku wasn't going to say no to a quirk and he is aware that he is being played but he wasn't going to let the chance of infiltrating a villainous organization slip past him. Working as a double agent will do wonders for his UA file.

Oh god, why didn’t you just let him through?

Au where Mr. Henderson finds out about Anya's powers first.

1 - Anya is a GOOD GIRL who is working for WORLD PEACE and she gets NO THANKS for it. All of it happened because she was trying to prevent a fourth tonitrus, (due to bad grades) and she did her best. Sadly, her best involved her cheating like crazy on the smartest student in the class.

2 - Henderson calls her in his office because a mediocre student can't suddenly strike a perfect score. The problem is that it's pretty clear who she cheated on but now how? The bright student was at the opposite side of the classroom, they were watched the whole time, and it just doesn't make sense... until Anya, distracted by the good snacks, accidentally answers to something he didn't say out loud. For two minutes. (Those were really good snacks.)

3 - Henderson goes through a crisis of faith if elegance can be considered a deity and a faith. On one hand, small child with apparently telepathic powers cheated, which is bad. On the other hand, he is the kind of student who would die for his students and he knows that this secret can NOT get out. He also discovers that her parents do not know about her ability and immediately assumes that it's the power from her dead mother and really let his imagination go wild. He becomes her secret keeper, her tutor (because the best way for her to stop cheating is for her to get the right answers on her own) and he is close to a heart attack every time he feels her secret is about to be revealed.

4 - More seriously, it's the AU where Henderson puts actual accommodation for a child who keeps getting distracted by people's thoughts and it works! Strix now adores the man because Anya is finally becoming a good student.

5 - Henderson has just started getting used to the whole "Small child who can read people's mind" when Anya drops the "My dog can see the future" bomb on him.

Started reading Weak Hero and. It's really just Gray trying to traumatize everyone into letting him have a peaceful school experience huh

That's precisely what Weak Hero is about.

Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.
