IF: One For All-Fiction

Shortly after, the rest of the Hero reinforcements had arrived and went about further detaining the Villains that Kumagawa had captured as they waited for the local law enforcement to cart them off. Paramedics were dispatched alongside Recovery Girl to tend to the wounded, however they proved to be unnecessary as everyone was unharmed. Even Aizawa and 13, who were grievously wounded by the Villains, were returned to perfect health.

The students of Class-A were ushered back to the bus where they would be taken back to school in order to let them settle down before the police took their statements. All except for one however. The rest of the class watched with a mix of worry, fear, or apprehension as Kumagawa was escorted from the premises under the watch of several Pro Hero's.

Once everyone was back on the bus and certainly out of Kumagawa's presence, they finally made their thoughts known.

"Okay seriously, WHAT THE F.U.C.K?!" yelled Kaminari. "Just what the hell is Kumagawa?!"

"I swear I watched him slaughter an entire gang of those thugs, but in the end they were all alive and unharmed. Just what is his Quirk anyway?" wondered Ojiro.

"No way is it an illusion, that's for certain." opined Ashido. "Everything looked far too real."

"We all saw his head get reduced to nothing when that hand-villain touched him, right? I'm not the only one who caught that?" spoke Tokoyami.

"So what if shitty-smile did some insane crap," grumbled Bakugou.

No one was certain, but they almost felt like they heard Kumagawa's voice saying [50].

"I didn't get to have my revenge against fog-face for throwing me around like a rag-doll!"

"Can we please try to stay on topic?" asked Yaoyorozu. "That being, figuring out the enigma that is Kumagawa Misogi. Is he a friend, or an enemy?"

"W-well, he seems to genuinely want to be a Hero, maybe he's just a bit misunderstood?" offered Midoriya. It seemed that he had spent the most time with the strange boy, and therefore knew more about him than others.

"Are you serious Midoriya?" Jirou asked flatly. "I watched as he apparently killed a whole group of Villains right in front of me. You did as well. And within the blink of an eye, everything seemed to be reset."

"You have to admit, to be so willing to resort to violence of that degree... I mean, not even Bakugou-san is that bad." reasoned Iida.

"What was that four-eyes?!"

"Let's try looking at this from a different angle." suggested Todoroki. "What exactly do we think Kumagawa's Quirk is?"

"Well it certainly isn't an illusion-type. He all but confirmed that."

"He somehow seems to be able to turn back time, but if that was the case, then we shouldn't remember any discrepancies like that."

"And then there's the screws that he can make appear out of nowhere."

"Along with the fact that he can apparently bring himself back to life."

"There's nothing that connects these abilities with one another!" Ashido g.r.o.a.n.e.d as she pulled at her hair. "Midoriya, you're the Quirk nerd. What do you think it is?"

Izuku brought his finger up to his lip as he entered 'think mode'.

"We are able to determine that Kumagawa's Quirk is not an illusion-type, meaning that he doesn't alter our perceptions. The possibility of hypnosis is also out of the question. The reason being that he has no reason to put us under the effects of it as well, as that would make us unable to aid him in combat. The only apparent catalyst he has for using his Quirk is his screws, but even that leaves us with more questions than answers. First off, this is the first time we've seen him utilize them. He didn't use them during combat training yesterday. He can't have a healing-type Quirk because there are inconsistencies. If his Quirk was related to healing, then that is all it should be able to do. Yet he was able to return his shoes to his feet after training yesterday. The healing theory is also flawed in just how he heals. Even that Noumu creature had to wait for its cells to replicate in order to rebuild tissue, but it is apparent that Kumagawa is able to do the same thing instantly. Not to mention that Kumagawa was actually dead at one point. I can't recall there ever being a Quirk that allows for revival at all, let alone after destruction of the head. Without the brain your body is unable to do anything. It is literally the control center. When that decay Villain reduced Kumagawa's head to nothing, that should have been the end of him. His brain wouldn't be able to command his Quirk to take effect. A time based Quirk that allows him to reverse the flow of time might fit the bill, but that holds the same problem as the healing one. Not only that, but we still have to take into account the fact that he can create screws out of thin air. Nothing adds up..."

Several of Midoriya's classmates sweatdropped a little at the immense info-dump, but at the same time they were quite impressed by his observation skills.

"So basically all his powers contradict one another." surmised Yaoyorozu.

"Argh! None of this makes any sense!" g.r.o.a.n.e.d Kaminari.

"Nothing connects any of these abilities together. Absolutely nothing!" yelled an aggravated Sero.

Midoriya leaned back in his seat as he sank deeper into thought. 'All-Fiction huh?'
