"Please Fifth, give me a moment, this is a tad overwhelming right now..." Softening, Fifth sits next to Izuku and decides to distract the boy for a bit,


"When I was alive, I used to be an Underground Hero; after all who suspects an office worker with a briefcase to be a hero." The man sighs happily, "I was feared within the underground until my death; I was known as Chika no Shinigami or Grim Reaper of the Underground." He looks to Izuku,


"One for All was forced upon me by Fourth, who was dying when I found them, and wouldn't survive. I took on the mantle to keep the torch alive, knowing it would get me killed." Fifth looks away, "My mentor told me once:"


'When you're in front of the enemy, even if your hands are trembling, fight . That is what it means to be a pro.'


"Those words are what made me a Hero." Izuku looked to Fifth with admiration and Fifth finishes his story, "So when I found a good successor, I faced down All for One to protect them. I failed however to finish him." Izuku didn't comment on the lone tear on rolling down Fifth's face, choosing to stand and close his eyes. A bright light exploded from his palm and Izuku moulded it into his chosen weapon.

Clapping, Fifth says,


"Well done. Now you need an object to conceal you weapon within."


This time, Izuku knows what he wants and summons a walking cane, with a cream white body and the handle in the shape of a phoenix head. Fifth flips his weapon back into the briefcase that it was once and walks up to Izuku and tells him;


"Now call upon your quirk, when I used it, it felt like both objects were magnets that had the same pole. They repelled on another basically. It should be the same now."


Inside his soul, Izuku pictured the Quinque quirk, a magnet of sorts and drew it to him. That power pooled into his hands, and he started to push the two items together. Like Fifth said, they had repelled one another, so Izuku tried again... and again... and again... it took him a full 15 turns until he finally managed to mix the two into one object. Fifth congratulated him with a firm pat on the back and said to Izuku;
