NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: chapter 9
Middle High School – The Year of Change
Time had passed, and now Izuku was in his final year of middle school—the same year where, in the original story, he would have met All Might and received One For All.
But this Izuku was very different from the one in the original timeline.
His relentless training, mastery of skills, and strategic planning had made him far stronger than before.
His Proficiency Panel reflected his growth:
[ Proficiency Panel ]
[ Name: Izuku Midoriya ]
Age: 14
Body: 22 (Normal human average: 8)
Spirit: 49 (Normal human average: 8)
Skills:
Martial Arts (Thunder Arts) – Level 9 (2%)
Programming – Level 9 (78%)
Quirk Analysis – Level 10 (2%)
Soul State – Level 8 (78%)
Mechanics – Level 8 (56%)
Meditation – Level 9 (38%)
Throwing Dagger – Level 8 (46%)
Izuku closed his panel, feeling satisfied with his progress.
His body was now as strong as pro heroes who trained for years.
His spirit, enhanced by meditation and Soul State, had sharpened his senses, reflexes, and mind to superhuman levels.
His martial arts mastery meant that even without a quirk, he could take down most heroes-in-training.
His Quirk Analysis skill had reached the peak, giving him deep insights into quirks and their applications.
His company, Sync Corporation, was booming, providing him with funds and resources.
Yet, despite everything—he was still quirkless.
Izuku knew that in the original timeline, he met All Might nine months before the U.A. entrance exam.
Which meant that this week was crucial.
Would things play out like before? Or had his existence changed everything?
After Soul State reached Level 8, Izuku had gained a strange new ability—an instinct, a feeling of the future.
It wasn't like he could see the future exactly. Instead, it was like a sixth sense, a deep intuition that let him perceive important moments before they happened.
And he knew—One For All would come to him.
But how it would happen, he couldn't tell.
The butterfly effect of his actions had already changed so much. Would All Might still choose him the same way?
