my hero academia: the chronicles of Henry stickman

(This chapter has over 2000 words)

————————————————————-

After hearing the warning I turn around and run faster than I have ever ran screaming, the chase is on!

————————————————————

"Nigurundayo!!!" I began screaming as I start running through the alleyways with toga hot on my tail .

"Why are you running? I just want some blood, is that too much to ask?!" I hear toga say through my screams as two more options appear.

Choose one option

Fight and incapacitate himeko toga

Or

Reason with toga with talk no jutsu

Reward for choosing the right option first try:a unique breathing style + a random katana

As I read the prompt in front of me I look in front and see it's a dead end, and I sure as shit wasn't going to hurt a girl, especially one with superhuman vampire strength.

(My headcanon is due to her quirk's nature she has superhuman strength,a moderate healing factor and a more durable body.-thelostswordsman)

"Looks like I'm going with Naruto's special jutsu" I mutter as I stop running and turn to face toga who had a look as if she was enjoying herself.

"Miss you really shouldn't do this, you could kill a person." I begin to say to toga who hesitated before moving forward with a smile.

"Oh I wouldn't worry, I haven't killed my victims so far, I always take what I need and go." She replied as she readies her knife.

'Daw shit! I didn't want to go there but I have little choice here!' I think to myself as i see her knife come down.

Using my now higtened reaction time I reach out and grab her wrist before I use the part of her backstory I actually knew.

"But if you follow through with this you'll prove to everyone who called you a monster right!" I shout maling her freeze, and suing that time I grab the knife out of her hands and put it in my pocket.

"Listen to me miss…" I begin hoping that toga caught on with what I was doing, only to hear a faint whisper," I'm himeko toga".

"Alright…listen to me miss toga, there is no such thing as a bad or evil quirk. A quirk is only evil if it hurts innocent lives, and I can tell you never wanted to hurt people." I say to toga pulling her in for a hug as I continue on.

"You were probably struggling with your quirk, which I'm guessing gives you an infatuation and need to consume blood, am I right?" I ask her getting a nod while hearing a sob coming from her, not sure if what I was saying was working but I need to possibly help her.

"Well if that's the case." I began letting her go I grab the knife I took from her and made a cut in my wrist before putting my now bleeding arm in front of her.

"Take what you need, I won't stop you." I say to her as I hear her sob a bit more as she grabbed my wrist and began licking the blood like a puppy.

"So…good…" toga whispers as she takes a few more minutes licking my blood before finally letting go of my wrist and looking at me apprehensively.

"Why are you treating me like this? Don't you think my quirk is disgusting?" She asks me as I Use a bit of my ripped t-shirt to make some bandages and wrapping my wound.

"Why do you keep saying negative things about your quirk? " I ask her as while I understand how bad society is with people like her I felt like there was more to the story than just her seeing her quirk as disgusting.

(A/N: Henry's knowledge of toga is limited since my hero academia was only in its third season in his last life.)

"…my parents always beat me and verbally abuse me and telling me to be normal." She began as she explained that her quirk made her need for blood necessary otherwise it could harm her.

"And one day I saw my crush bleeding and I lost it, I knocked him out and began drinking his blood, I just couldn't help it." She said beginning to cry as if she was reliving that experience again.

When I hear her entire backstory I wanted to scour the whole of Japan and beat the ever loving shit out of her parents! Who not only neglected her but even abused her!

I pull her in for a hug as I stroke her hair and giving her comfort, something she has never had before, "thank you for telling me this toga." I tell her as I see a prompt and new options appear above us.

You have chosen the right option, now uploading reference breathing to your brain.

As it said that I get a headache as foreign knowledge of total concentration breathing flooded my mind before the pain stopped only leaving a throbbing sensation.

"Are you okay?!" I hear toga say in a panicked voice as I take a deep breath numbing the pain and allowing me to hear the other half of the prompt

You have been given the katana monohoshizao (fate grand order), it will be in your home.

'Hold on, wasn't the monohoshizao katana used by sasaki kojiro?' I think to myself as I finally see the options.

You have heard what himeko toga has been through, what will you do?

Let himeko toga live with you

Or

convince principle nezu to build a case for himeko toga using any means

Reward for the right choice: ???

'Why doesn't this one have a choose one option? Maybe I can do both?' I think to myself as I look over at toga who looked like she needed a bath and a clean set of clothes.

"Okay toga here's what we'll do, you'll live with me and I'll work on a case for you by convincing the UA principal to lend a hand in making the case." I tell toga who was taken aback, she didn't understand why I was doing so much for her when she didn't even know me.

"Don't worry toga, I actually live alone since I don't have any parents, it's actually nearby so we can make it in about 15 minutes." I tell her before getting up and prompting her to follow as I use the memories of this body's previous owner to exit the alleyway and onto the street where I go to Takoba beach where my home is located.

(Yes, Henry had the memories of the previous owner of his body, and his home is literally across the beach where deku and all might train.-thelostswordsman)

As we made it to the beach front I get a tug on my jacket and I hear toga ask me something that could change her fate as a future villainess.

"Hey Henry…do you possibly want to be a hero?" She asks me with a look that practically screamed 'please say no!'.

"…I do want to be a hero toga, but I'd also like to have you be a hero with me, I have the feeling your quirk can really be powerful if you have proper guidance." I tell her as I see her blush a bit, but it's probably because of the cold.

"…okay, I'll try." Was all I heard before we made it to the street where my home is and I see two figures that made me freeze.

It was deku and all might!!

I hastily open the door and turn to toga.

"Okay toga I'm going to talk to someone about helping me with your case, the bathroom is across the hall from my room on the second floor, take a bath and relax." I tell her as I go up to my room and see on the bed a sheathed blade nearing 4 feet from handle to tip of the blade.

(Fun fact: kojiro's blade has a length of 2 feet and 11.5 inches,making it a lot longer than the average katana)

Cautiously I pick it up and it vanishes from my hands, but I can still somehow feel it on my person.

After a few seconds I look at the room and I see a desk with a computer with various blueprints for support items scattered around it, and a bookself with a lot of manga based around heroes.

'Huh this body's previous owner must have been someone like mei hatsume.'

I go over to the dresser in the room and pull out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and walk over to the bathroom and knock.

"Hey toga! I have some of my clothes for you to wear while your clothes get washed, just hand me your dirty clothes and I'll put them in the wash for you." I instruct as I see the door open a bit and see her peek out and drop her clothes on the floor and grab the clothes In my arms and closes the door again.

"Thank you." I hear her say as I pick up the phone on my desk and unlocked it seeing a picture of mirko and all might as his wallpaper.

"Alright I should probably order food while I'm at it." I say to myself as I look up nearby restaurants that do delivery and the only one close by was a Chinese restaurant called the ryukyu palace that sold good orange chicken.

After going to their website and making my order I head over to the bathroom to let toga know.

"Hey toga I'm going out for a bit! I ordered some food for us that should come in about 30 minutes!" I tell her getting an okay from her before leaving my house and opening the front door and walking across the street where allmight and izuku were still training.

"Hello there! You guys train here as well?" I say to the two who froze and look over to see me walking toward them.

"Hello there young man! While we do train here we're about to leave!" Allmight says before I throw them both a curveball.

"I know about one for all."

The both trip before allmight grabs me by the shoulder and looks right at me.

"How do you know about one for all?!!" He bellowed with izuku panicking that his quirk was known by a stranger.

"If you're thinking about me being all for one's agent I'm not." I deadpan before continuing with what I was saying, "I need nezu's help with something, and I figured I'd do a favor for a favor, so can you help me out with that allmight?" I ask him as he lets go of my shoulder and sighs.

"Just promise me you'll keep my quirk a secret, I'll give him a call right now." He says as he changes into his skeletal form and takes out his phone dialing a number.

"Hey nezu, we got a teen asking for a meeting with you, he knows about my quirk and says he'll do a favor for a favor…okay…In two hours? Got it, I'll tell him." He says before putting his phone back in his pocket.

"He says he'll set time for you at three, two hours from now,so what's your name?" Allmight asks as I see izuku taking a seat.

"I'm Henry stickman, I actually live right across the street where you train at." I tell him pointing to my house.

"Oh you live close! Then do you mind coming to help izuku train for these next two months ? I take it you're also aiming for UA so this could help motivate him even more." He requests as I think about it as a whole.

"Hmm…what time do you both start?"

"We start at around 5 in the morning and end at 8 in the evening." He says as I pull out my phone and set a reminder and an alarm, there was no way I was passing this!

"Alright I'll see you all tomorrow." I say to them as I see a motorcycle stop in front of my door and a delivery driver gets off and knocks on the door and waits.

" oh my food's here! It'll take the metro-train and go to UA after I eat lunch, I'll see you there!" I say to them making a two finger salute and walk to my house and take the food and go inside.

————————————————————

One hour thirty minutes later

Both toga and I get off the metro-train and see the school up ahead, and I was geeking out at the sight!

"Okay we have time, let's head on up and meet with nezu and get the justice you deserve." I say to toga who nods before we begin our ascent to the school and I see at the base of the forested hill and I see a disheveled man wearing a black outfit and a scarf waiting at the base of the hill.

"Are you here for principal nezu?" He asks as he sees us and I could tell he was wishing to be anywhere but here.

"Yes we are, sorry if you had to wait long." I tell him as he just nods his head and introduces himself as aizawa.

As we got halfway up I couldn't help but wonder how big is the budget for UA.

After ten minutes we make it to the grounds and see allmight in his skeletal form waiting with a white haired mouse I knew all too well.

"Ah! Welcome henry stickman, I see you've brought another person with you, is she the the purpose of our meeting?" Nezu asked as we all began to walk into the school grounds and I see various heroes stationed at varying points in the halls as we made our way to his office and toga and I take a seat before nezu leans forward and spoke.

"Now let the meeting begin."

Reference breathing- this is a unique breathing style that uses the moves of characters in any media as long as his body can handle it. Like for example if he can imagine the tsubomi gaeshi he can replicate the attack, but the more powerful the reference the stronger the toll.

Well I hope you all enjoy this chapter, im planning on forming Henry's arsenal of items and abilities through the first ten chapters.

But I hope you all like the idea of reference breathing, he will need to practice using it for the more powerful swordsmen technique's, but he will be able to do tanjiro's waterbreathing style as it is a reference in his eyes.

But I'll post again tomorrow since I'm having fun making this series, peace😁✌️
