The Rules of The Game

Summary:

After a brutal reminder of what the world thinks of quirkless children, Midoriya Inko sends her son to live with his father on I-Island.

By seventeen, Midoriya Izuku returns to Japan as a genius, a billionaire, the founder of Viridian Corp, and one of the most influential men on the planet. He has solved the energy crisis, built a global corporation, and created the suits that guarantee him front-page pictures every week.

Enrolling at U.A. was supposed to be little more than a statement.

Unfortunately for him, society is broken, villains are ambitious, politicians are short-sighted, and far too many people insist on proving just how inefficient the current rules really are.

And if the rules of the game are broken, then someone has to rewrite them..


OR: Midoriya becomes Iron Man and proceeds to make it everybody's problem.

Chapter Text

"Let's get on with this," the young man said as he pulled his fairly elongated hair into a small ponytail at the back of his head, dark curls tamed and barely touching his nape.

The small, white creature across the room for him moved it's tail in interest, taking in the human as if he was the most interesting thing it's eyes ever witnessed. "Yes," the creature responded without a second thought, moving to sit on its armchair. "I suppose you're not an individual that can afford to waste any time."

"I'm not," he agreed, taking a seat across from the white creature in an elegant pose he was taught after so many formal events. "I have something you want," his hands moved almost boredly to gesture to himself. It was quite obviously why.

"And I have someone you want," there was nowhere to motion over, but they both knew about the other young, less fortunate, genius that was under the white creature's paws. Figuratively.

The young man nodded firmly once again. "Here's what I can do," the man straightened his back, hands adjusting the cuffs on his sleek black blazer. "I have finished high school years ago, done my fair amount of graduate courses and even post-graduation. You can either enroll me as a teacher and watch the whole country go wild over a 17 year old boy teaching people of his own age, or you can get me into the Hero course to, of course, only attend the hero-based lessons."

"Which would also cause a ruckus nationwide over the fact that you're quirkless," the white creature supplied the thought process, watching in disguised awe as the young figure in front of him simply smirked and raised his eyebrows. No matter what the creature chose, it was making the news and he would inevitably pay the initial price. The deal would always end up being better for the boy than for him, but he was aware of such thing since the moment he scheduled this meeting half a year ago.

Having the most famous underaged billionaire genius at his school would be good enough in the long run to overlook the initial shock. Somehow even the board of directors that always refused to be associated with the quirkless thought so. "It's up to you, Nedzu."

Would the white creature really admit that, when he made up his mind way before he even met the young man? "You would need some remedial classes for the two years you've missed. I won't be putting you with the first years, instead I want to put you with our best teacher and have you graduate with one of our best classes."

The genius smiled a little wider, even if still quite formally. It was progress. "You can send the paperwork to my secretary," the young man got up, adjusting his fitted blazer on his muscular and lean frame. "I expect Cementoss and Power Loader to reach out to me. Although the dorm system is good in keeping your students safe after," he gestured vaguely. "Well, everything. I'm not used to a single room anymore, therefore I would need Cementoss help in settling in."

The chimera nodded. Cementoss would be beyond thrilled in helping the genius out. "You can send the design along with the paperwork, he'll have it ready for you as soon as possible. Power Loader will also be in contact with the student you showed interest in. Miss Hatsume will be informed of your interest in adding to her area of knowledge."

With a nod, the green haired genius gave the chimera a small, polite bow.

The white chimera extended a paw to the boy, whom took it and gently shook. "It was a pleasure doing business with you, Midoriya Izuku."

Notes:

Hello!! This is my genius, Iron Man! Izuku fic.

People seemed to be rather interested, so I decided to post this small chapter to see if people are really on board with what I have in mind.

The next chapter would start already at the first day of classes for 3-A with their brand new classmate: Izuku. What happened in I-Island and what Izuku was up to will be covered throughout the story.
