Chapter 16 - Omake: Izuku swap

Zelretch used his kaleidoscope to enter the residence of his current employer. As a student of the wise king Solomon, Zelretch had met many interesting individuals. Over the past 20 years, he had gained quite a bit from assisting those strange beings known as ROBs, or random omnipotent beings. They would have him ferry around people and souls to different worlds and realities. Sometimes, when Zelretch was really bored, he would acquire trucks and use them as the catalysts for reincarnation. He may have accidentally created a minor dimensional deity called Truck-kun, but that was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Plus, his new truck goddess daughter is adorable.

Anyway, Zelretch's new boss wasn't particularly interesting. He had barely asked him to do anything lately. As Zelretch arrived at the residence of his current ROB boss, he decided to look around. It was, of course, his first time being here. Currently, he was standing inside an American household kitchen with an attached dining room and living room. There wasn't really anything interesting or different about this place compared to a normal American residence, except for the fact that there was a Warhammer 40k battle taking place on the dining room table. It wasn't just a normal game, though; the figures were moving, actually talking, and shooting. It was a real battle between Imperial Fists and Gorgon Tyranids.

As Zelretch watched the battle, he finally noticed his employer. He wasn't a human, or a collection of stars, or a shifting mass of eternity—he was just a strange-looking monkey. The monkey was two feet tall, with purple and gray fur. He had a red marking in the center of his face, with a cloud of white fur growing out of his neck. His arms had a bat-like membrane growing between them and his body, but based on how they floated around, they seemed entirely unnecessary.

As he stared at the strange, monkey-like creature, the war happening on the table froze, as if someone had pressed the pause button on a movie. "Oh, Zelretch, you're finally here! It's been 226 days, seven hours, 55 minutes, and 37 seconds since I asked for your services." The strange being grinned, seeming to not care about the time, just mentioning it for the heck of it.

"Yes, I appreciate your patience. I had several other tasks that I had been hired to complete. Mr. Noisage, may I ask what you need my services for?" Noisage, the monkey-like being, nodded in appreciation. "Yes, you're very reliable when I ask you to complete a task. And despite the fact that I can do the job on my own, I know it would be a lot messier if I did."

Zelretch nodded in agreement; the main reason ROBs hired him was because, if they entered the weaker realities, they could cause those realities to become part of their existence.

"Hey, Noisage, can you get me more pizza?" Zelretch turned around to see Murlin rummaging through the refrigerator in the kitchen.

'Merlin, I'm kinda in the middle of a meeting. Can you wait for a bit?'

Merlin looked up, saw Zelretch, and began to slowly back toward the kitchen exit, eventually disappearing from the room. Zelretch turned to Noisage, hoping for an explanation of why Merlin was here.

'That freeloader shows up sometimes. At this point, it's easier just to ignore him,' Noisage replied.

Zelretch nodded and began to discuss the terms of their deal.

The deal they struck was that Zelretch would transport a selected candidate and switch them out with a different chosen candidate for a while. In return, Zelretch could get rid of one annoying person and drop them off in Noisage's world.

Once the terms were finalized, Zelretch left to complete the deal and drop off the nuisance in the designated timeline.

=Time Skip=

Emiya awoke in a strange place. The last thing he remembered was coming home from UA, making his mother some food because she was working late, and then going to bed.

Why was this room so strange? It was covered in All Might merchandise. While the entire Midoriya System enjoyed All Might and had some of his merch, this was excessive—basically a shrine. Emiya found it kind of creepy and obsessive, and internally, Izuku, the only other personality awake, agreed. The two other personalities weren't morning people, and Leonidas had a random sleep schedule.

Deciding they should analyze their situation, Emiya and Izuku slowly crept out of the room and shut the door behind them.

Sneaking around, Izuku and Emiya discovered that they appeared to be in a UA dorm room. Izuku only knew about the UA dorms because Nezu had shared the plans and schematics with them. These dorms were being constructed for less privileged students who couldn't afford to live in the big city.

This initiative was planned after a student who applied last year had to drop out because they couldn't afford their living situation in Masutafou City. Nezu ended up covering that student's living expenses until the school dorms could be built.

They eventually arrived at the UA dorm kitchen, where they saw a face they hadn't seen in almost ten years: the blonde idiot, Katsuki Bakugo! Why was he here? Oh no, did they switch to a new personality, and had they only just awakened now after almost a year? Were they now 15 years old?

Looking down at his body, it didn't seem any different. They couldn't feel a new personality like with Leonidas, so that couldn't be it. As they continued to watch Bakugo, they noticed someone loud approaching them. It wasn't that they were intentionally loud, but their stomping down the stairs and yelling all the way down made it clear they were coming.

Quickly, the two personalities hid behind the couch in the living room, which was adjacent to the kitchen, allowing them to spy on these strange people.

'Hey! Baku-bro, have you seen Midoriya? We were supposed to work out this morning, but I can't find him anywhere!' Bakugo grunted in response, his voice gruff and angry. 'How am I supposed to know where the damn nerd is? I'm not his babysitter!'

The spiky redheaded guy laughed and patted Bakugo on the back. As the two personalities observed the dining room and kitchen area, people began to gather as Bakugo passed out breakfast to each and every one of them. During this time, a certain ravenous personality woke up and started arguing with Emiya and Izuku about trying to steal a leftover meal.

After a while, the majority of the strange people walked back upstairs, presumably to get to their dorms. The only ones left behind were two boys: one was a short kid with purple balls growing from the top of his head, and the other was a blonde with a black lightning bolt in his hair. They seemed to be talking about girls—one being extremely inappropriate, while the other tried to steer the conversation toward something more normal.

At this point, Mordred had run out of patience. Throwing Emiya out of the metaphorical driver's seat, she activated her quirk and zoomed past the two boys to the extra food. Devouring it in seconds and still feeling hungry, she began to raid the fridge. All Emiya and Izuku could do was sit there and mentally sigh in exasperation.

The two boys behind her stood there in stunned silence, watching as the food in their fridge was devoured by some random 14-year-old blonde kid. 'Hey, what are you doing? Wait, no! Who are you and how did you get in here?' the sparky blonde shouted, pointing at Mordred. Mordred, who had finally calmed her hunger, turned towards the two boys. Red lightning sparked around her as she punched her fist and said, 'Tell anyone you saw me, and I'll hang you from a flagpole!' She then zoomed away, running out the dorm door.

Too bad Mordred didn't notice the group of students coming down the stairs in school uniforms. If she had, she probably wouldn't be chased by a whole class of students.

== Writers note

So this was more of a set up episode for this Omake I think of it kind of like a extra writing exercise. The Midoriya system being used for this Omake Is from a parallel universe to the main timeline Midoriya system Where the only difference is that ice cream doesn't exist. Which is really sad anyway I hope you enjoyed.
