   Summary

   In an immensely convoluted way, quirks proved that the greatest power was the human mind. People, before quirks, used to say the greatest power is thought. The human brain, a complicated organ powered by tiny pulses of electricity could beat any idiot with a couple firecrackers popping between their fingers.

   When villains, with lightning bolts at their fingertips, could be bested by a hero whose only power was to manipulate fabric, it became increasingly obvious that power lies in how you used your mind.

   Unfortunately for Izuku, he challenged the one person- man? Animal? Creature? Creature.- that’s power increased their mind.

   But, maybe, just maybe, he could win this wager.

   - -

   U.A has a rule that prevents Quirkless students from applying.

   Izuku, in an attempt to get the rule removed, ends up challenging Principal Nedzu to a wager of wits.
