[A Few Weeks Later – Somewhere in Kyoto]
Adam leaned against the rusted railing of an overpass, overlooking a city pulsing with color and noise. Neon signs buzzed faintly beneath the evening glow, casting reflections in puddles from a recent rain. The hum of traffic filled the air, along with the occasional chime of train announcements and the chatter of people moving through their lives.
He sipped a canned coffee and glanced at his holo-screen, scrolling through the latest headlines and forum threads.
Hero Rankings. Dungeon stream clips. Political shifts in the Japanese Hunter Association.
The deeper he dug into this world, the more bizarre and fascinating it became.
[Hero Profile: Touya Reven (Formerly Todoroki)]
Rank: A – Position: #20 in Japan
Agency: Reven Flameworks
Known for high-output flame manipulation. Personality: Cold but professional. Has publicly renounced his family name.
Spouse: Jade Reven – Rank A (#45)
Adam raised an eyebrow. This Jade was the same one from the Mortal Combat world.
"That's a hell of a crossover."
Apparently, Jade had arrived in Japan twelve years ago from China and naturalized quickly, showing exceptional combat capabilities. Her synergy with Touya's flame style had earned them the moniker "The Crimson Tandem."
[Hunter Profile: Himiko Toga]
Rank: B – Position: #46 in Japan
Status: Unaffiliated Hunter (Streamer)
Known for chaotic dungeon runs and unpredictable tactics. High viewer ratings on KyoTube.
He tapped the screen again, curious. No affiliations with the League of Villains or any known villain organizations. She was just… popular. Wildly so. Her fanbase called her the "Queen of Chaos."
Interesting.
Then came the name that really pulled him out of his casual rhythm.
[Hunter Profile: Mitsuki Bakugo]
Rank: A – Position: #86 in Japan
Ability: Ash Combustion Magic
Creates volatile ash clouds that can be ignited on command.
High-aggression combat style. One of the few A-ranks without agency backing—operates freelance.
Adam blinked slowly.
"Exploding ash magic," he muttered, half in amusement, half in admiration. "No wonder her kid turned out explosive in the original world."
There was little to no information on some of the others—Shigaraki, Overhaul, even All Might. If they existed in this world, they'd either taken different paths or hadn't surfaced at all.
But one thing was clear: this world had rewritten its story.
Villains had never become villains. The great conflicts of the past—quirk wars, monarch invasions, divine fights between rulers and monarchs—none of them had happened.
[Incoming call reminder scheduled. Izuku Midoriya.]
Adam straightened.
Right.
He'd waited a few weeks. Gave the kid time to recover. Gave himself time to explore.
But now seemed like a good moment.
He tapped the prompt, connecting the call. Izuku's face popped up on the screen, cheerful as ever.
"Hey, Adam! I wasn't sure if you'd call."
"I did say I'd come by. Got time in two days?"
"Yeah! Yeah, totally! My mom will be happy to meet you too—she's been asking a lot since I told her you help me. She's, uh, kind of a big cook. Hope you're hungry"
"I will be," Adam said with a small smile. "Send me the location. I'll be there."
"Sure thing! Oh, and… thanks again. For that day. Also I've been feeling different lately. Stronger. I don't know how to explain it, I hope to talk in depth with you if possible"
Adam's eyes narrowed, though he kept his expression calm.
"Just keep an eye on yourself," he said. "Power changes people, one way or another. As for talking, no problem let's do it after the meal"
Izuku nodded seriously. "Yeah. See you soon"
The call ended.
Adam stood in the gathering dusk for a moment longer, watching lights flicker on across rooftops and towers, each one a story playing out behind closed walls.
He threw the can to a nearby container and turned away from the railing.
'Two days until dinner, two days until I'd see how far the seeds I planted had grown'
--------------------------------
Adam sat cross-legged near the edge of the building, a warm breeze brushing past as city lights blinked like stars below. A gentle hum of the system echoed in his mind.
"Nano," he said calmly. "Show me Izuku Midoriya's stats. I want a full breakdown—before the seed and his current condition."
[Request acknowledged. Displaying comparative stat charts.]
Two transparent panels flickered to life before his eyes, light blue and white. One labeled:[Subject: Midoriya, Izuku – Pre-Seeding Scan]The other:[Subject: Midoriya, Izuku – Current Scan (Post-Seeding – 17 Days)]
📊 [IZUKU MIDORIYA – COMPARATIVE STATS]
Parameter Before Seeding Current (17 Days Post-Seeding):
Physical Strength D -> C-
Speed D− -> C+
Stamina C -> B-
Durability D -> B
Sensory Acuity D+ -> C
Mana Core Output N/A -> N/A
Combat Instinct E+ -> D
Adaptability C- -> C
Affinities N/A
[The individual know as Izuku Midoriya has experiment a massive leap in sensory and stamina-based stats. Clear signs of a Heavenly Restriction-type mutation, focusing all development into physical and reflex stats is recommend. With time, subject could naturally evolve into a pseudo-Toji-tier human weapon.]
📊 [TOJI FUSHIGURO – PRIME STATS]
Parameter Grade
Physical Strength SS
Speed SS
Stamina S
Durability S
Sensory Acuity SSS
Mana Core Output N/A
Combat Instinct SSS
Adaptability SS+
Affinities Advanced Weapon Mastery / Zero-Energy Combat / Anti-Sorcery Reflexes
[Toji is the gold standard for a Heavenly Restriction-type human. Unmatched reflexes, absurd physical control, and a pure-killer combat brain. Achieving a similar state is possible, but the process is brutal and requires unnatural discipline.]
IZUKU MIDORIYA – Custom Growth Plan
"Project Crimson Core" – Crafted by Nano using the user's directive.
Objective: Transform Midoriya into a Toji-style Heavenly Restriction fighter—pure body, sharp mind, zero wasted energy. Build him up with pure effort.
Phase I – Foundation (4 Weeks)
Goal: Increase baseline stats and develop muscle-memory for reflex combat.
Physical Regimen (Daily):
Weighted endurance runs (10km+)
Controlled fall training – enhance reaction & joint strength
Full-body resistance training (Toji-style body tension method)
Ice water recovery to harden nerve endings
Combat Foundation:
Classic martial arts (Boxing + Kyokushin Karate basics)
Wooden weapon sparring (Staff, Short Blade)
Mirror shadow drills – 500 movements/day
Pain-response drills (light impact) to sharpen threat response
Mental Focus:
Tactical reading (analyze real hunter fights)
Meditation (improve battle calm + muscle command)
Basic math & prediction puzzles (combat calculation)
Phase II – Combat Growth (3–6 Months)
Goal: Refine speed, precision, and instinct.
Physical:
High-speed sprint circuits w/ weight vest
Cliff climbing / urban parkour sessions

Simulated blindfolded sparring to enhance other senses
Adaptation Triggers:
Train under heat, cold, rain
Fasted training days for body regulation
Night-only sessions to force circadian combat adaptability
Phase III – Mind-Body Synergy
Goal: Transcend average human limit. Reach preternatural levels of coordination, like Toji.
Train with dominant hand tied behind back
Intermittent sensory deprivation training
Learn to kill intent – project and read it
Simulated life-or-death drills (harmless but adrenaline-based)

Parameter Expected Grade:
Physical Strength A– to S
Speed A
Stamina S
Durability A
Sensory Acuity S
Combat Instinct A+
Adaptability A to S
Mana Core Output N/A
[NOTE: This plan is brutal. But with Izuku's current growth, it's tailored to push him past any potential bottlenecks. If he follows it without slacking he might become scarier than Toji]
Adam stared at the projected data as the wind picked up around him. His lips curled into a satisfied smirk.
"Good. Now let's see what this kid really becomes."
