Chapter Text

Izuku Midoriya was still Quirkless when he was 14 years old. This, wasn't a surprise to anyone that knew him well. For ten years of Izuku's life, he was beaten up, bruised, burned and belittled for something that he wasn't even in control of. He was put through endless ridicule by his classmates, they pushed him whenever they can, tripped him when there was an opportunity, scoff at his dreams to become a Hero.

It was even more painful for him that his childhood best friend, Katsuki Bakugou, was always at the forefront of his misfortune. They were the best of friends once, almost stuck to each other's hip even. Katsuki would always claim to become the world's number one hero and Izuku would cheer him on... That was until his "diagnosis" came in. Katsuki began to torment him after that, getting every single one of his classmates to turn on him, laughing mockingly at every mention of his Quirklessness, even going as far as to use his quirk on him, though he woudln't leave a lasting mark.

Even through all of that, things that would break a normal person and turn them down to the darkest of paths... Izuku was still kind to those who needed help. He would offer any assistance to all and any that calls him out, give them a hand with a smile on his face. He never cared for any of the words that they may call him, all he wanted to do was help people to the best of his abilities. Maybe that was one of the reason why he did become what he is today. A person who is willing to break their own limit, a person who eases everyone's worries, a person who never backs down to protect those that they care about... A true Hero... The world's Symbol of Hope.

But before he is known as that, let us go back to that fateful day with Izuku... And the spider that changed everything.

Today was hopefully going to be a good day for Izuku, though he doubt it would last long.

They were going to to a famous science centre today, which Izuku was wholeheartedly excited for, he prepared a new notebook and everything! His current and only friend however...

"I don't get why you're so excited for this trip Midoriya, seems like a ton of boring stuff to me." Hitoshi Shinsou drawled out. He personally hates science as a whole. Not because he couldn't be good at it, but because he couldn't be bother to know what any of the stuff means. What's so important to know about how chemicals react anyways?

"Awww, come on Shin! It's actually really cool! They experiment with all kinds of stuff there! Hero support gear, actual humanoid robots, mechanical enhancements to the human body, species genectic cod-" Izuku was cut off from rambling any further by the sound of explosion near his head, making him flinch out of his seat.

"K-Kacchan!"

"Deku." Lo and behold, there he was, Bakugou Katsuki in all his glory. With his signature scowl and feral grin.

"Why the hell are you even here Bakugou. Shouldn't you be settling into your precious little seat by now." Shinsou asked with a threatening tone. God does he hate the damn bastard. His ego is even bigger than some of his old bullies!

"Shut the hell up you shitty extra! I ain't talkin to yo-" Bakugou's eyes turn a familiar blank.

"Heh, everytime. You know, for a guy so smart, you sure do forget about things a lot. Now sit down at your seat and wait until our teacher arrive." Shinsou finished with a smirk. He's definitely gonna be pissed when he's out of it but ohhhh is it so worth it.

Izuku was still standing there terrified out of his mind. "Oh god he's gonna kill us afterwards!" He whispered in a horrified voice.

"Meh, it could be worse." Shinsou shrugged. His shit-eating grin was plastered all over his face.

"How could it be wo-" Just then, their homeroom teacher loudly opened the door, startling the students that were watching the interaction between the three.

Izuku sighed "I'm starting to get tired of being interrupted here." He whispered mostly to himself. Unfortunately, Shinsou heard him and sent him an amused look.

"Since when did you developed an attitude?"

Izuku immeadiately turn bright red and returned to his desk, not expecting anyone to even heard what he said, especially his friend. But before things can get better for the green haired boy, the brainwash was lifted.

"-ON OF A BITCH!" Katsuki screamed out, making Izuku yelped. He was enrage at Shinsou's little stunt but thankfully, he noticed the teacher before he got the chance to strangle the violet insomniac.

"... Alright then, moving on from... That. Good morning class."

"Good morning Sensei!" They all greeted him, mostly just bored out of their minds.

"Okay then. Now let's get onto why we're all here today. Today's your field trip to the, whatever it's called, science centre."

Most of the class groaned, except for Izuku of course. Though he wasn't a fan of the way their teacher had introduce today's event.

"Quiet down you lot. Now, before we go board the bus, there is someone that I need to introduce to you guys. Come in Uroko."

A man in a white lab coat then walked in. He wasn't really that much interesting looking to be honest, he looked to be about 35 to 40 years old, really average looking compared to most people nowadays. He also has black hair and wore a pair of round rimmed glasses. Height wise, he fits into the door frame quite well. All in all, really plain. The only thing that caught their attention is the almost lizard like arm on his right side.

"Hello class, my name is Teashi Uroko. I'm going to be your guide for today and the new science teacher for the rest of your time here. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Now, do anyone have any questions that you want to ask before we go? We got some time to spare" He gave them a warm smile.

A few hands raised up, none it really catching his attention apart from the excited green haired boy.

"Yes? You have a question?" Uroko pointed at Izuku.

Immediately, Izuku felt glares reaching him from every corner of the room, making him wonder if this was such a good idea in the first place. He took a nervous gulp of air and began to shakily ask his new teacher.

"U-Ummm. H-How does your Quirk work Mr. Uroko? I'm s-sorry if you d-don't like my questi-"

"Ugh. Stop it with the stuttering already you Quirkless reject! Let someone else important ask him!" One of the girls mocked the terrified teen.

Shinsou was about to speak up but then he saw the glare the new teacher was giving the girl. In fact, everyone in the room did. It was unsettling seeing it to say the least.

"I. Will not. Tolerate. That kind of behaviour when I'm teaching your class. Am I making it clear? " Uroko said in a fake happy tone. It was absolutely terrifying to even hear it from such a kind looking man.

"Tch. Damnit." Bakugou grumble inaudibly, clearly pissed off.

"And to answer you question ah... I didn't catch your name."

"Huh? Oh! I-It's Izuku. Izuku Midoriya sir." Still kinda in shock that a teacher would be defending HIM of all people. Izuku hadn't even known the guy until 5 minutes ago! It... excites him but it's also very nerve wracking in a strange way. He took a glance at Shinsou, who was grinning from ear to ear at this new teacher.

"To answer your question Midoriya. My Quirk, from the outside, looks like a mutation type does it not?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well, you're half-right. It's actually my regeneration that caused this. Everytime I lose a body part, it grows back just like a lizard's tail. It's not instantaneous and has the side effect of more reptile like features on the regrown limb."

Everyone's attention were now caught with just that, just like he had planned.

"You see, I didn't use to have this arm in the past. About 15 years ago, my arm was still as "normal" as ever, there was no enhancement, no claws, no scales, nothing. Just a regular old arm. People didn't think too much about what my Quirk did... Because they never knew I had one in the first place, myself included."

The whole class was DEFINITELY paying attention now. Even their homeroom teacher had a surprised look on his face and began listening to his colleague.

"Yes, I was misdiagnosed as Quirkless, and it wasn't a very kind life during that time to be serious with you all. People would mock when they see me, people would point when I was mentioned and people wouldn't see what I was capable of, choosing to see only what I was missing instead. One day, someone went "too far" with what they were doing and as a result, I lost my arm in an so called "prank" during my college days..."

All the students sat in stunned silence. They can see what their teacher was getting at but none of them would go that far with Midoriya right?

Bakugou would almost scoff loudly at his new teacher if he wans't actually comtemplating his words right now.

'I would never be that stupid to do even that to the shitty Deku, it would taint my clean record for U.A.!'

'Why? Isn't hitting him with explosions everyday enough for you to be banned from taking the test?' His deeper thoughts questioned him.

'That's different! No one would care if I put that useless fucking nerd in his rightful place!'

'Then what's stopping you from going the extra mile huh? Like you said, no one would care about him right? Right?...'

'...That shit is for villains! I'm no fucking villain! I'm gonna be the greatest goddamn Hero the world has ever seen!'

'Are you sure about what you're saying Katsuki? No one has ever gone as far as you have with Deku...'

Bakugou shook his head to derail his current train of thought... Yeah, lets go back to listening to the damn lizard now.

"It was painful losing my whole arm just because of a "prank". A few days afterwards, I noticed a few scales forming on my right shoulder. I thought it was a residue of someone else's Quirk so I thought nothing of it. That was until a fourth of my arm came back with hard scales covering it after a full night's sleep. Some people would try and apologize to me after they found out I have a quirk, which is... Okay I guess, I didn't really believed their apologies to be honest with you." Uroko finished his story off with a shrug, ignoring the look on his students face with extreme levels of professionality.

After an awkward silence passed through the air, their homeroom teacher finally snapped out of his shock.

"A-Alright, let's all start moving to bus shall we? We'll be late if we're not hurry."

No one argued with him.

This day was turning out to be a very interesting one.

After a while, things starts to slowly got back to what they were. Everybody was chatting with each other and Izuku was sitting next to Shinsou as always during the trip, it was a weird dynamic between the two students. Izuku would always go off and ramble on about the latest Hero and what their Quirk does, while Shinsou will just sit there and nod at whatever his friend just said. He doesn't really understand what most of the things his friend is talking about, but seeing his eyes just light up like an olympic torch at the topic is really damn fulfilling honestly. Though he had to hide a smirk everytime when the precious little nerd metions his adoptive dads.

On Izuku's side of things, he did infact notice the muderous glare that promised pain Bakugou was giving him and Shinsou, it really didn't help him deal with his nerves, like at all. But the rambling in his thoughts were reminded of the new teacher, Uroko-sensei. His kindness torwards Izuku was... a strange occurence but definitely not an unwelcome one. Izuku personally liked him and with him being the new science teacher, he was gaining major points from Izuku. Oh! That reminded him...

"Hey Shinsou, what do you think about Uroko-sensei? I think he's really cool! And he's so nice too!" Izuku asked suddenly, startling Shinsou who wasn't really paying attention.

"Hm? Oh, him? Well he seems... "Nice", he definitely got some points. But meh, I still don't really trust him yet. People can have really different goals on the inside then what they are showing Midoriya, not everyone is kind like you." Shinsou stated nonchalantly.

"Also, stop calling that blond bastard by that stupid nickname already."

Izuku pouted. "Ugh. Why do you have to be so pessimistic all the time Shin? He's seems really nice so give him a chance! And calling Kacchan by anything else just seems... Weird. Also, he'd probably kill me if I call him Bakugou..."

"What? How does that make sense?!"

Izuku just shrugged. Truthfully, he was hoping for the day that Bakugou would change for the better and be his friend again. He knows that it's a stupid reason but, a guy can dream can't he?

Shisou would've prodded him more on what he meant but it appears that they've already arrive at their destination. Mr. Uroko then stood up and began to wave his hands to catch the attention of everyone else.

"Okay class, we're here! Now line up properly and begin to exit the bus." Uroko-sensei gestured energetically.

Izuku could barely contain himself when he saw the famous entrance to his new favourite place in the world. It was tall, almost like a skyscraper but not enough to be considered one. The design on the building itself was very intricate, a bee hive pattern can be seen on the outside walls, a bright blue glow flowing from top to bottom. In simple terms, it looked very futuristic. At that point, Shinsou has to basically restrain him from bursting into the doors from how excited he was!

"Everyone! I welcome you all to the famous I-Centre! A newly made branch from I-Island managed by David Shield himself!" Uroko-sensei said in awe. It was kinda funny seeing a grown man so excited for a simple field trip, it was a nice change of pace from the usual atmosphere.

Izuku gasped. "You mean THE David Shield who was All Might's partner in America and was responsible for the making of his costumes?! The one who received a Nobel Quirk prize for his research?! That David Shield?!" He has stars in his eyes now, excited to see the work of his idol's partner.

Uroko couldn't help but smile even more at the kid's knowledge. Heh, seems like he has a favourite student now, that was quick.

"You are right my boy, but before I can say more. Let's get off the bus first shall we?"

Izuku was just too happy to notice the glare that Bakgou was giving him was intensifying immensesly.

The interior of the buildinng was even more amazing to witness! Izuku saw a handful of technological advances that he hadn't even seen before! There were some humanoid robots that can be programmed to do whatever they needed, some support gear that enhances person's stregth, even a fricking floating glider of all things! They were so awesome to see! It was a godsend that Shinsou brought a spare notebook with him otherwise Izuku woud be scrawling on his own arm right about now.

"Alright class, you've seen all of the technological advances we've made through the decades. Now, how much do you know on how a Quirk manifests?" Uroko asked the whole class, his eyes ligering on Izuku a bit longer than the rest.

"How about you Midoriya?" Uroko called out.

"Oh! O-Okay sir! Well, not much is known about how Quirks appeared, all we know is about 200 years ago people started to gain superpowers, and after that, humans started to evolve with more and more powerful Quirks after each generation with them appearing at approximately 4 years of age, research have also shown that people with Quirks only have one joint in their pinky toe while Quirkless indiviuals have an extra toe joint, a sign of close chromosomal linkage between that and having a quirk, although there were some reports of people who have the one joint and is Quirkless and also reports of people who have the extra joint having a Quirk, there is an almost non-existent chance of that ever happening, specifically abou-"

"Okay thank you Midoriya. Seems like you've done a fair amount of research huh? Good job! But do remember to atleast take a breather every once in a while." Uroko said jokingly, no malice present in his soft voice.

This actually helped to calm Izuku out of freaking out. "O-Okay sir, I'll be sure to remember that." He said shyly.

"No problem kiddo. As your classmate had said, there's alot that we don't really know on how Quirks manifest, but there is one important thing. It appears in humans yes, but also in extremely rare cases, some animals as well." And the whole class burst out in surprise.

"What?! No way! That can't be true!"

"Yeah! They're probably humans that have animal Quirks!"

"I think I once saw a glowing cat, do you think that was a Quirk?"

"I think that you're just delusional."

"How did we not even hear about their existence? Shouldn't the news cover this in their reports?" One student asked confused.

"Well, the news didn't report about it because it was so rare, there were no sightings to actually report. Also, this isn't a secret or anything, it just isn't really widely known. I once even know a guy who had a pet rabbit that can breathe out flames. Anyways, since it seems that you guys are interested in this, wanna see some of them?" Uroko said while their homeroom teacher stood there, looking very bored with his life.

The whole class cheered and nodded excitedly except for Bakugou, who thinks this was stupid as fuck. And Shinsou, who already knew about one intelligent maniacal rat from his dads' job.

"Well alrighty then. Let's go!"

The class was buzzing from excitement, even Shinsou seems to be paying more attention now. Izuku is just practically radiating excitement at the possibility of actually seeing Quirked animals!

"Okay class we're here. Remember to be respectful to the scientist and animals. And whatever you do, do not touch anything please." Uroko-sensei pleaded exasperatedly.

He opened the door and the sight that greeted them was an amazing one.

There were so many freaking animals that it looked like a zoo! There were some dogs and cat, some birds here and there, some insects in tanks, even some reptiles. It was an astonishing sight! Even more so when they saw a small dog suddenly turn to the size of Husky!

"Oh my god this is amazing!"

"Look at that frickin bird! It has horns!"

"That rabbit has wings!"

"Hey! Isn't that a glowing cat?!"

"Who cares about that! There's a damn baby Dragon in there! It's so cute!"

"Quiet down class! I know you're excited and all but we will checkout all the animals in a moment! No need to worry!" Uroko sweat dropped, kinda worried that they would run off at any moment.

They all started to calm down a little bit.

"Good, now let's start off with the smallest ones shall we? The insects."

The class collectively groaned at their sensei's decision. There were so many things that cooler that some stupid bugs.

"Oh come on, it'll be fun! Just give it a try." Uroko chuckled and began to lead his class torwards the insects. None of them seemingly noticing a certain spider crawling near them...

Izuku would've probably black out from the lack of air if Shinsou didn't snap him out of his muttering session.

"Seriously, how can you not notice that you need to breathe every once in a while?"

"Ehehehe. Sorry Shinsou, it's just... So fascinating you know? I mean, how did some animals gain a Quirk? There seems to be no corelation to them having a Quirk and their babies having one 'cause you would've seen a ton more Quirked animals popping up if that was the case." Izuku looked thoughtful as he theorised.

"Jeez, don't ask me Midoriya, I'm not the mad Quirk enthusiast here." Shinsou responded tiredly. He was glad that Izuku had become his friend even after he revealed his quirk to him, even going as far as saying he'll be a great hero. But damn wasn't the little nerd confusing sometimes. One moment he would cower at every bullies that came near him, and then another moment later he would be defending someone else from said bullies. Not to mention his incessant mutterings in class. Seriously, how does someone even think about that much that fast?

"H-Hey, I'm not "mad"... I'm just... "Passionate" okay?" Izuku pouted at Shinsou. He tried to look angry but it just makes him looking like a barking puppy who's trying to act tough.

Shinsou managed to stiffle his laughter. Damn the precious cinnamon roll, he's too innocent for his own good. Before he can continue with their conversation however, Uroko-sensei spoke up.

"Okay class, this kind woman here was willing to help us through all these animals here, so have some respect for her." Uroko told his students kindly.

"Hi everyone. You don't really need to know me that well so let's skip to the good part shall we?" The scientist began to walk to one of the tanks, gesturing for them to follow her.

"Animals with Quirks have existed for as long as Quirks have appeared. Sure, it was ever rarer back then but there was one fact that we managed to find out." She explained while casually picking up a beetle with a color changing shell.

"Insects, technically speaking, shouldn't even have a Quirk at all, but they do."

Now THAT made them confused. How can something shouldn't have a Quirk, but as the same time do? They wanted to find out more now.

"Caught your attention huh? I was too when I first heard about this. Turns out, even if we check their DNA for the Quirk factor, there would be none to be found. Not even a simple mutation in their DNA, they were just... Born like this apparently."

"But," The scientis began before anyone can ask her anything. "We did find a common occurence across all the insects. They generate some type of radiation that isn't really bad for a human,. You can basically handle them without any side effects. Just in case though, don't let them bite you. It was because of this radiation that we even managed to find this much of them" She gestured to the several tanks in the area.

"There is one of them that we have't managed to find what it's Quirk is however..." She began to walk torwards an enclosure, larger than the one they've seen. It was filled with all kinds of vegetation that can be found in the wild, there were some wood bark acting as a shelter to whatever was living in there, a small minature pond can be seen.

"Before I explain, let me just say this one doesn't really like to be seen and hides away very often so you may not see it today." She looked at the whole class expectantly.

They were annoyed at that fact but otherwise didn't really make a comment.

"Okay so this one here is a type of spider. One of our first spiders here actually. Without adding Quirks into the mix, this of spider is very quick and agile, they are great hunters in the wild and is very strong and muscular. It had a natural way of camoflauge, pefectly blending into it's environment. But those aside, we don't really know what's so special about this little guy. He also generates the special type of radiation even more so than the ones we've caught. So that's the reason why we are confused as to why it doesn't do anything remotely weird." The scientist finished with a sigh. This one was really a headache to figure out.

"So what you're saying... Is that it's Quirkless like Deku over there?" A boy with rocks for hair sneered at Izuku. Causing him to shrink in on himself while the most of the class just laughed. Can't he just have one day God? One day without all of... This?

"Ahem. First off, if you think that was what I was saying the whole time, then you really weren't paying attention huh? Secondly, one more act of mockery against your classmate, then I will stop this tour immeadiately." The scientist warned sternly, her eyes were almost as fierce as Bakugou's.

This surprise the whole class, especially Izuku. He had just been defended, AGAIN. Can this day turn out any weirder?

"Some of my colleagues at I-Island and in this location is Quirkless as well and they are some of the greatest scientist I know. So I'll be damned, if I let you judge their worth by something as inconsequential as that." Honestly, what has their teachers been teaching them?!

Most people gulped nervously, some remained impassive, while Bakugou just scoffed again.

Shinsou leaned into a shell-shocked Izuku. He gave the boy a cheeky smile. "Ya know, I'm starting to get why you really like science now, I think I'm being converted." He chuckled at his own joke.

Izuku wiped at his teary eyes. "Y-Yeah, it's... It's really great isn't it." He smiled softly at the scientist who returned the gesture. He looked at his science teacher and Uroko-sensei just gave him a thumbs up and subtly winked. Izuku laughed silently and reached up to scratch his head. Surprisingly, he felt something moving onto the back of his hand. It was definitely hairy and seems to have several legs. Before Izuku can figure out what was going on, that's when he felt it, a sharp pain radiating from where the thing was, it bit him. On insticnt, he flung his hand out with a small yelp, throwing away the creature into a nearby wall.

Izuku looked at his stinging hand and saw two small bite marks on it, almost like pincers. It was turning red, small amounts of pus forming under the wound. What was that?!

Izuku turned to look at the offending creature which turned out to be a dark green hairy spider. It had recovered from the throw and had began to crawl away into a nearby vent... That can't be good.

Before he can comprehend what just happened, he was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea and a splitting headache.

Shinsou left him alone for 5 seconds, 5 goddamned seconds! And his friend was now looking as though he had been poisoned!

"Midoriya, what happened?! You look like you've just seen a ghost!" Shinsou whispered angrily, worried for his friend.

Izuku was on the verge of vomitting but thankfully, he was able to hold it in. "I-I-I don't know what happened either! But I'm not feeling so good..." His eyes drooped at every word.

"Do you want me to inform Uroko-sensei?"

"Y-Yeah I think that's a good idea. I don't really need to go to the hospital though. J-Just tell him to call my mom, she'll handle it from t-there." Izuku blanched even more.

Shinsou gave him an affirmative nod and went to inform their teacher. Uroko-sensei was worried at first, but he handled it surprisngly well honestly. After making a few calls, Mrs. Midoriya hurriedly came and got her son home. But not before glaring at a few students that were snickering at her son, causing them to shut up.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital sweetie? It's not too far from here..." Inko said worriedly.

"I-I'm fine Mom. I-It's really no big deal. I'll be better when I get some sleep, I promised!" Izuku waved his hands frantically.

Inko eyed her son, not really believing him and then sighed. "If you're sure dear...But just let me know if you need anything okay?"

"Yes, Mom. I promise you." He gave her a weak smile.

The trip home wasnt really that long but to Izuku, it felt like an eternity. His headache was getting worse and his body was feeling hotter. He was tired, sweaty and most of all, in need of some sleep. God he's turning more and more Shinsou by the minute.

When they finally arrive at their little house. Izuku all but ran into his room, fall onto his bed, and proceeded to be knocked unconscious once his head hit the soft pillow. He didn't even bother to close the door.

Inko would just giggled at her son and close the door to his room. If she didn't know any better, she would've thought Izuku took up the behaviour of his purple haired friend. She was glad that he managed to find an actual friend this year, god knows that her poor boy needed one after all he's been through. She has also taken it upon herself to give Shinsou some of her own Chamomile Tea to help with his sleeping problems, he seemed thankful at the gift but she could'nt really tell.

Oh well. She's gonna go cook up some Miso for her son when he wakes up now. She just hopes that he would feel better later.

Izuku woke up with a start. He just had the weirdest dream ever.

He dreamt that he was walking on the walls of builing. Even having the ability to jump far enough to leap over from rooftop to rooftop with incredible speed. It was... a really nice dream if he was being honest with you. He dreamt about having Quirks before, nothing strange there. But somehow, this one just felt so... So real!

The downside though, that he was reminded harshly of his own Quirklessness whenever he wakes up from them.

'Oh well, at least it was fun while it lasted' He thought solemnly.

'Now to get off the ceiling and... WAIT WHAT?!' And like a hammer to the head, he was slammed with the fact that he was currently standing UPSIDE DOWN ON HIS OWN FREAKING CEILING!

He panicked and tried to move, but his legs wouldn't even budge! It was stuck firmly onto the ceiling. He had to use both of his hands to pry one of them off, but he used too much force and lost his balance. He reached out to a nearby wall to support himself for a bit, just to find out that his hand is also now stuck to the wall as well... What the actual fuck?!

Before he can question his existence even more, the hair on the back of his neck began to stand up and his head was now filled with a small ringing sound. The world seemed to slow down to a crawl as he asset his current predicament.

'What is going on?! How am I even doing this right now?! Is this... Is this because of that spider that bit me?! How is that even possible?! I expected to wake up feeling sick, probably from the radiation the spider has, not this! Wait... Oh god do I have radiation poisoning now?! Is this a hallucination?! Is thi-" But before Izuku can freak out even more. His door started to open.

"Wait. Mom! S-Stop! Don't go in! I'm uh, I'm not awake!" Izuku shouted out before he realise what he just said and proceeded to facepalmed at his own stupidity.

"Izuku are you up? What's going on? Are you okay swee... Sweetie?" Inko entered the room to only be greeted with the sight of her son standing on the ceiling wall without even breaking a sweat. She dropped the glass of water she had been holding in shock. But then Izuku eyes widen and with incredible speed, he jumped down to her, catching the glass with one hand without spilling even a single drop.

They just stared at each other in awed silence.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What the fu-"

Chapter Text

Inko and Izuku decided to take the next day off to figure out what in the world was currently happening to him. One day he's Quirkless as the day he was born then boom. A strange Quirk appeared out of no where!

"What did you say about how you gain these powers again?" Inko asked, still not exactly believing what she heard.

"Well, I think this is the Quirk of a spider that bit me. I don't really know how, but when it bit into my hand, it somehow transfered it's own power into me. I think I can do whatever a spider can now Mom! Except make webs, but considering the location that spiders usually make their webs... It's probably a good thing. I think there are still things that I don't fully know about it yet. I can definitely climb up walls with ease now, I'm strong enough to pull myself up the wall, that's kinda obvious. But there was this strange thing that happened before you came into my room." Izuku scratch at his forehead.

"Hm? What was it?"

"It's... Kinda hard to explain actually. All I felt was a tingling sensation and then some small ringing from the direction of the door moments before you entered, the world seemed to kinda... "slowed down" for me ya know? Like it was some sort of... I don't know, "Spider-Sense"? Like it was warning me of something before it happened? I'm still confused on the details." He sighed in exasperation.

"It's okay sweetie, you just got a Quirk. Nobody expects you to fully know how to use it...." Inko was searching her thoughts for a moment. "Hey Izuku... Do you still want to be a hero?..." She looked for her son's reaction.

Izuku... Izuku honestly didn't know how to answer his mother. He has always dreamt off being a hero, his analysis notebooks for the future was already proof of that. He had 13 of them. But his Quirklessness has always been the biggest wall that he couldn't climb pass, it didn't matter if people would shun and make fun of him, he was used to that, it was his lack of a Quirk that has been one of his major downfall. There weren't any Quirkless heroes for a reason, even if U.A. had opened it's doors to Quirkless people in the past few years, none of the graduates were from the Hero Course...

Now though, he has a... "Quirk" now he supposed. It was the thing that he needed to push past that barrier that once held him back so much. He can save everyone with a smile just like All Might! He can actually be useful!

Izuku's thoughtful look faded away into fierce determination. "Yes Mom... I know that you don't agree with my choice but please let me do this! No, I have to do this! Not to prove to anything to anyone, I just want to help people in more ways that I can now! I want to be the one people will look at and it gives them hope! I want to be the name that will inspire and whose presence will ease everyone's heart. Why? Because I am there..." His eyes are starting to water now, years of frustration being let out all at once.

He was choking up torwards the end before his mother embrace him in a gentle hug. "I'm so sorry Izuku... I'm such a bad parent. I should've been supportive of you, instead I was like all the others. Even through all the years of hardship, you've grown up to be such a kind child haven't you? I'm sorry that I hadn't said this earlier but Izuku, I believe you can be a great Hero! Even though I will worry about you all the time now, just know that I will be supportive of all your choices from now on." Inko was crying now. "I love you so much Izuku..."

He sobbed and hugged his mom tighter. "I love you too Mom... I won't disappoint you."

"Izuku, never once in my life have I been disappointed you. You've always managed to make me proud... Your Quirk is a special one Izuku, that spider could've bitten anyone, but it chose you. You've been given a great power to hold, so you must also remember to take the responsibility that goes along with it. Can you do that for me Izuku?" She smiled at her little boy.

"I will Mom. I will." He said sniffling.

"Come on dear, let's go wash up and eat. I think this occasions calls for Katsudon don't you think." Inko wiped her eyes for a bit.

"Katsudon? Oooh, is there a spicy kind?"

Inko chuckled happily. "Yes there is. You know if it wasn't for your father, I would've wondered how you can even stand some of the spice."

"Heh, yeah. Okay Mom, I'll go and wash up now. See ya at dinner!" Izuku ran off as fast as he could. Really glad that he and his mother could've had this talk.

'I wonder what Shinsou would think when I tell him...'

The next day, Izuku and his mother went to get his Quirk registered. They agreed to keep to whole story on how he got his Quirk a secret because of obvious reasons. It really didn't take that long to register, all he needed to do was demonstrate a few of his abilities and then he can go home.

"Okay, try to climb up that wall." The doctor instructed.

'Here goes nothing then.' He thought before he put five of his fingers on the wall. He can immediately feel when his Quirk activated, he lift up his other hand and repeated the process. It was difficult as first but before he knows it, he was easily crawling around the wall in mere moments.

"Fascinating, there was another person who had a familiar Quirk like yours, she had a frog Quirk I think and even she couldn't crawl that fast! You truly can do whatever a spider can huh?" The doctor said slightly amused.

"Okay then, now if you can please, grip onto this device with all your power." The doctor gave Izuku a small handheld device. He shrugged, closes his eyes and grip tightly, not expecting it to be absolutely destroyed.

"Um, I broke it."

"No need to worry Mr. Midoriya, that kind of stuff happens all the time. Considering that device can read up to three tons, you can now assume that that what you are capable of is higher than that amount." And as the doctor finished, Izuku and Inko jaws dropped at the implication.

Just then, the room next door shook violently, making several objects in their room fall and creating a loud bang, startling everyone in the room.

"Sheesh, some Quirk huh? It's okay though, these rooms are built for sturdiness! Now Mr. Midori... Mr. Midoriya? Where are you?" Both Inko and the doctor began to look around frantically for the boy. There was no where else he could've gone and the ceiling shows no sign of him. They both thought of the worst case scenario before a voice sounded out.

"Uhhh guys? I'm right here? I haven't really mo- WOW! I can turn invisble?! That's freaking awesome! But uhhh, how do I turn it off?..." The disembodied voice of Izuku called out in surprise, confusion and amazement. Some how expressing all three at the same time.

The doctor just gave out a bellowing laugh. " Good god Mr. Midoriya! You gave us quite the fright! You Quirk is definitely interesing. I don't know any spiders out there that can camoflauge almost to the point of invisibility! You really are spectacular aren't you! I'm sure with that, you're gonna make a great hero someday, no, I guarantee it!"

Izuku almost burst out sobbing at his encouragement and turned visible again. He knows that this kind of thing wouldn't happen if he was still Quirkless, but just hearing someone doing it to him, fills him with absolute joy!

"T-Thank you doctor! I really appreciate it!"

"No problem kid. Now that that's all done, you can fill out the registry form here."

"Okay then, let's do it."

And that was how the Quirk "Spider" came to be.

Shinsou was still kinda worried for his friend. He had taken the day off yesterday and hadn't really texted him about his condition much, only a simple one of "I'm okay, don't worry about it." Somehow, he doubt that was the case.

Not much really happened yesterday except a certain blond getting knock dow a few pegs, but that was a story for later. Bakugou and his cronies were still as loud as usual and Shinsou was still tired of their shit. No one really cared about how Izuku took a day off, only Bakugou was claiming that Izuku was too much of a coward to face him, just like every damn day Izuku was off. Seriously, does this guy think that everything is always about him?!

Today was hopefully going to be better for Shinsou, Izuku said that he'd be here today and have "something" to tell him. Which intriqued him very much. His loud dad dramatically exclaimed after reading it over his shoulder, was that he was finally gonna confess his love to Shinsou. His tired dad just told him that he's overreacting and he's probably just gonna invite Shinsou over for dinner like last time which is probably more believable than the first theory.

He was waiting patiently for Izuku to arrive now. But after a while, he was now looking at the clock every couple of minutes. Even their teacher arrived before Izuku did! But fortunately for him, Izuku arrived just mere moments after their teacher opened the door.

"Midoriya. Your late. Go sitdown."

"U-Ummm. Can I say something to the class b-before I sitdown?" Izuku asked nervously, fiddling with his hands.

The older man just huffed. "Fine. Make it quick now. We don't have the time to diddle-daddle."

Izuku gulped audibly. "O-Okay sensei. Sooo... Hi? Ummm... A-Apparently, I... have a... Quirk now?"

He expected alot of things, he expected sneers and mockery. Full blown laughter from the class wasn't really one of them.

Everyone was laughing their asses off, even their teacher was wiping his eyes from laughing too much. Shinsou was just sitting there confused.

"G-Good one Midoriya. We really needed that today. Now please go sit down." The teacher said, still laughing slightly.

" But I'm not lying! I really do hav- You know what, just let me show you." And just like that, the Quirkless student that was once the joke of the class, jumped up, did a twisting flip mid-air, and stuck the landing on the freaking ceiling! He was just hanging there! Defying the laws of gravity! Everyone's jaws were dropped from the stunt.

"..."

"..."

"..."

" WHAT THE FU-" And just like that. Full on pandemonium.

Everyone in the room was now in disbelief mode.

"HOLY SHIT!"

"NO FUCKING WAY IS HE DOING THAT SHIT ON HIS OWN!"

"HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THAT?! YOU'RE QUIRKLESS!"

"W-Well I already told you that I developed one didn't I? Did you suddenly develope hearing loss?" Izuku blurted out before he can slap his mouth shut. Why did he say that?!

The guy was too stunned that Deku would even have the balls to snark at him, to give back a simple response.

The room was in absolute silence, except for the maniacal laughter coming from Shinsou. He was a boy who was expecting silver, but then found a cave full of diamonds .

"Shinsou! S-Stop laughing! I-I-I didn't mean to say that!" He wave his hands frantically, standing up straight on the ceiling.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! F-Finally showing some spine heh? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Took you fucking long enough dude! I've been waiting for this day for a looooong time now! Heheheheheh, can't believe you actually fucking said that though. You clearly don't have enough experience in trash talking." Shinsou flash the boy a shit-eating grin. He can get use to this.

"DEKU YOU GODDAMN BASTARD!!!"

Oh shit he forgot about Kacchan!

"W-Wait Kacchan! I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to say anything!" Izuku said, bracing for the oncoming impact of explosions... But none of it came. He looked up reluctantly, confused on what was happening.

Bakugou was literally shaking from rage but... He didn't activate his Quirk, not even a spark was seen! Was he... WAS HE HOLDING BACK?! TO IZUKU OF ALL PEOPLE?!

Kacchan pointed at him angrily. "DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT THIS WOULD MEAN YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME NOW THAT YOU GOT SOME STUPID QUIRK DEKU! YOU WON'T EVEN BE GOING NEAR MY DAMN LEVEL! YOU FUCKING GOT THAT?! YOU WILL EVER ONLY BE A SIDEKICK UNDERNEATH MY FEET!" He screamed out with unholy rage.

Izuku just nodded dumbly at his tormentor. Too afraid that speaking would anger him even more.

"GOOD! NOW GET OFF THE FUCKING CEILING BEFORE I GET UP THERE AND BLAST YOU DOWN MYSELF!"

Izuku yelped and quickly and gracefully, jumped down torward his table.

"Tch. Fucking coward..." Bakugou stomped back to his seat.

"Well... Okay then. Ummm, let's continue on with class now that that's over."

"Yes Sensei!" They all shouted out, too weirded out by the situation.

It's only after a few hour have gone by, that Izuku realized that Bakugou, just called him a sidekick... Not an extra... A sidekick... What happened when he was gone?

Yesterday Evening.

Shinsou was so goddamn tired, he could probably just sleep for a whole year right about now.

Dealing with Bakugou without Izuku there with him was an ordeal. The guy just wouldn't shut up about how great he was at every waking moment, it was driving him insane. Hearing that voice constantly parading around without Izuku's familiar muttering was even harder than he thought it would be. He can just hope that classes would be over soon enough so that he can go home and embrace the void of unconsciouness just like his dad.

The last class today seems to be with that new science teacher, Uroko-sensei, which Shinsou didn't really mind honestly. He had already gotten Shinsou's respect for defending his friend and helping to aid Izuku after he got sick. Dare he say it, the guy may just become his new favourite teacher. But, he'll just have to wait and see.

Uroko opened the door and walked into the class, smiling pleasantly at all his students.

"Hello class! I see that you're already in your seats, good job! Well then, let's get on with some introductions shall we? I already told you, but just in case, my name is Teashi Uroko, it's a pleasure to meet you all. Does anyone want to introduce themselves?" He looked around the room.

Shinsous just sighed. Of all the things that he could've started off with...

'Three...'

'Two...'

'One...'

Crackles of explosions can be heard clearly in the room.

'Zero...' Shinsou grimaced.

"Oi! My name's Katsuki Bakugou! And unlike all these other extras here, I'm gonna become the greatest hero to have ever lived! I'll even surpass All Might himself! So don't you forget about me!" Bakugou shouted out in pride, expecting a shower of praises coming from his teacher.

Uroko just looked on in amusement. "Ambitious goals huh? Hope you can achieve it! Although I should mention that Quirk use is prohibited at school Bakugou. Does anyone else wanna share something about them?" He moved on to another student, leaving an offended Bakugou standing there fuming. That's it?! He's the student here in this shitty school with the best chance to go to U.A. and that was all the damn lizard said?! "Hope you can achieve it!" his ass! That ain't even a proper praise! And what the fuck was that warning?!

"Wait just a damn min-"

"Bakugou. Sit down, you've got your turn. Now it's time for everyone elses." Uroko said almost like he knows that this was pissing Bakugou of and was just ignoring him for the fun of it.

Shinsou can clearly see how pissed off the pomeranian is after not getting what he oh so "deserved", like a child throwing tantrum to get whatever they wanted. 'Greatest hero", yeah right. He's just another spoiled kid with a powerful Quirk that teachers would let do anything he wanted without much interference.

After a while, almost everyone introduced themselves to their teacher. They genuinely like him, he was more supportive than even their homeroom teacher! Who just sing praises to Bakugou like he was saint.

"I think that's most of the class except for Shinsou, who declined to particpate with us. It's a pity that Midoriya isn't here today, I would've loved to know more about him." Uroko said fondly.

That was what broke the dam for Bakugou. He had to listen to the shitty extras talk about themselves for a while, it was infuriating to hear all their hopes of "becoming a hero" being encouraged, like they even stand damn chance against him! Now the damned lizard was talking about Deku as if he was special! The little shit ain't even got a damned Quirk!

"ARGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH YOU AND THE DAMNED DEKU?! THERE'S NOTHING TO KNOW FROM THE PIECE OF SHIT! HE'S JUST A USELESS, QUIRKLESS BASTARD!" Bakugou screamed out and slamming his desk, letting his anger control him.

Uroko remained impassive, only letting out a chuckle.

"Bakugou, he was the only one in your class that gave me that much information about Quirks in such short time. I only want to know more on what he knows on other topics. And I warn you again, I do not tolerate that kind of talk torwards a classmate. No matter if they are here or not." His gaze turned into a stern one.

"Also sit down, you're being disruptive to the class."

Bakugou sat down violently, all the rage building up every moment that he had to look at the damned lizard any longer.

Shinsou was internally losing his shit laughing. Yep. Definitely his new favourite teacher. He just shut down Bakugou in a snap! Oh this year was gonna be great!

"Well then, let's get on to today's lesson, who can tell me about..."

Bakugou was eager to stomp out of the class now that it has finally ended. He really needed to blow up something.

"Oh Bakugou, may you stay behind for a little bit? I want to have a talk with you."

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!

"Whatever! Just make it fucking quick!" Bakugou growled out.

After the last stragglers are gone. Uroko started the conversation.

"Tell me something Bakugou. What is Mirdoriya to you?"

That's it's?! The damned lizard wanted to talk more about the fucking Deku? How fucking dare he insulted Bakugou this way?!

"HE AIN'T NOTHING TO ME! HE'S JUST A USELESS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT THAT KEEPS GETTING INTO MY GODDAMN WAY! IS THAT THE THING YOU WANT FROM ME?! HUH?! I AIN'T TAKING THIS SHIT, I'M O-" Before he can finish his screaming, Uroko spoke again, this time, in an almost... sad tone.

"I heard you guys were once good friends when you were little, what happened?"

Bakugou, for once in his life, was shocked.

"How did you... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?! AND NOTHING HAPPENED! HE WAS JUST ANOTHER PEBBLE ON MY WAY! ALWAYS WAS! ALWAYS WILL BE!" He glared at his own teachers, eyes full of anger and hatred.

"Simple. I once knew a man called Hisashi Midoriya."

Okay, what the fuck?! The nerd's damned father?! What does he have to do with this?!

Uroko continued after seeing the confused look on Bakugou face. "Yes, I knew his father even before my Quirk was discovered. He really was a kind man, he didn't care if I was Quirkless or not, he just said that I looked like I needed a friend... During the "incident", he was the one to actually help me calm down from my panic attack when I woke up to see my arm missing, and he kept on visiting me during my stay at the hospital, taking notes from our course for me to use. We stayed in contact after our graduation and met up with each other from time to time... He was my best friend."

"Two years later," Uroko continued before Bakugou have the chance to respond. "He met up with me, tears of happiness in his eyes. His wife just gave birth to his son. I congratulated him of course, it was the kind of things friends do. A few years went by, he showed me a picture of two boys, laughing happily, holding onto each other like they were inseperable. He told me how they would always go around the neighborhood, "patrolling" the area for villains, claiming they would become heroes together... Do you remember it, by any chance?"

Bakugou was silent througout the whole story. Of course he remembers it! That damned memory wouldn't leave him be! He tried forcefully forget it, but when he least expects it, it always come back like a fucking missle! He hates that his chest aches everytime he is reminded of it, he didn't know what it meant, he just knows that he wanted it gone.

"A year passed, he called me just to talk for a while, I didn't really mind. He told me how stressful it was after his son was diagnosed as Quirkless. Though he said that it didn't matter what anybody told him, he would still loved his son no matter what. But he was worried about how his son's friend would react once they find out... Guess I now knew the answer huh?... "

"What's your damn point?" Bakugou asked while looking away from his teacher.

"Bakugou, you said that you're gonna be the greatest hero the world has ever seen? I know that you can easily achieve it, with the proper guidance of course. And... I have the feeling Midoriya believes that too."

Bakugou eyes widen uncharastictically large. Deku believes what?!

"Why? Why would Deku do that?! Why the fuck, would he even consider that?!"

"Call it a hunch. But if you really want to know... Well, there's only one way to find out Bakugou. Talk to him." Uroko gave Bakugou a little ruffle on his head and proceeded to walk out. Leaving a confused, angry and... possibly nervous Bakugou standing there in complete silence.

Back to the present .

"So let me get this straigth." Shinsou looked at Izuku firmly. They were alone in an empty classroom.

"You... Got bit by a spider... During our trip and...Instead of getting radiation poisoning or something... It gave you it's power... And now you have a Quirk..." He stated every single thing slowly, like he couldn't believed that actually happen.

Izuku chuckled nervously. "Hehe, y-yep! I couldn't believe it myself either! One moment I was having a dream and then the moment I woke up, boom. I'm walking on ceiling."

Shinsou just gave his friend a mixture of a sigh and a groan. "I don't know if you're the luckiest kid alive, or you just have the worst luck ever to be, the one bitten by some kind of radioactive spider and not die." He looks so done with all the shenanigans that has been happening.

"Y-Yeah, just my "Midoriya Luck" huh?" Izuku tried to joke, but Shinsou just facepalmed.

"Midoriya. You really, need to work on your charisma more. Try... I don't know , quipping peole? Anyways, that one was bad, even for you."

"H-Hey! I tried okay..." Izuku complained.

"I know buddy. I know. Let's just go back the class, I'll teach you how to properly do it afterwards." Shinsou ruffled his friends curly hair. Huh, Mrs. Midoriya was right, it is like a kitten's fur.

Chapter Text

Words spread around fast the next day. It would, considering that it was about a Quirkless kid suddenly developing a Quirk. All of them was giving Izuku stares as he walked into the school. He would've panicked if he hadn't had his friend pulling him along, away from their watchful gaze.

"Thank you Shinsou, I think I almost passed out." Izuku blanched.

Shinsou nodded. "Yeah you looked like it too. No need to thank me."

"Let's just quickly go to class, I don't think I can handle more people staring at me like I'm a unicorn at the zoo." Izuku joked while quickening his pace.

"Heh, nice one. Ya know, I can get use to this... Uhhh... "New you"? Not that you changed that dracstically! Just seeing you show more of your sense of humour is... Nice." Shinsou said awkwardly, hoping his friend hadn't gotten the wrong idea.

"Oh! Uh, thanks! I'm glad that you think so. Come on! We'll be late if we don't hurry!" Izuku grabbed his friend's arm and began to pull him, Shinsou was too surprise at Izuku to protest. They were both running and laughing with each other now, having no idea what they're even laughing at. Not even noticing a certain blond watching them from afar.

Their teacher finally entered the class room after a long time waiting. He walked up to the front of the class and began coughing to catch everyone's attention.

"Okay. You guys are finally in your third year now, so it's the time to get serious on what you want to do for your future." He said in a serious tone.

"I'll pass out the forms for your future plans in a moment, but..." He grabbed the stack of papers and threw them into the air dramatically. All them waiting in anticipation.

"Everyone here is taking the hero course exam, am I correct?!" Their teacher tone shifted into a sweet one in an instant. It was very weird to witness to Izuku.

Everyone in there was cheering now, whooping right left and center. Showing off their Quirks. One shooting fire from their arms, one turning their hands into rocks, one of Bakugou's cronies strectching out their fingers and a dude even taking out his own eyeballs, gross. Izuku and Shinsou were just sitting there, raising up their arms politlely.

"Alright! These are all great Quirks everyone! But using them at school is prohibited, understood?"

"Really? Since when did that guy cared about people using their Quirks in class? He didn't seem to stop Bakugou when he used his, right Midoriya? ... Midoriya?" Shinsou grumbled quietly to his friend only to find out his attention was else where.

Izuku was confused, he was sure that Bakugou would've jumped on this chance and announce to the whole class how better he was than them... But it didn't came. The only reaction Izuku found from the explosive blond was a scoff and a grumble about something involving stupid extras and that he would beat them all. Izuku let out a sigh of relief, weirdly glad that his childhood friend was still the same. Though he was now only noticing how quiet Bakugou was being and grew worried again.

"Ah I have an important thing to add. Our top student, Bakugou over there, is submittting his application torward... U.A. high school?" The teacher said with an excited glint in his eyes.

The class' reaction was unanimous.

"The national school?!"

"Isn't their acceptance scores ridiculously high or something?!"

"Yeah! They only take the best of the best so there's bound to be some competition!"

"Guys, this is Bakugou we're talking about here! He ain't some ordinary competition!"

At this point, Bakugou finally flashed a cocky smirk and stood up.

"Ya damn right I am! I'm gonna crush them all down and show them who's the REAL boss at the exam! I'm the only one here that got a damn chance of even entering that school! You extras don't stand even a fraction of hair! " He shouted like his usual Bakugou self and sat down grinnning. Gaining a groan from the whole class.

Izuku was just relieved. Glad that his "friend" hadn't been hit in the head or by some sort of Quirk. But his relief was shattered, when the teacher called out his name.

"Oh Midoriya and Shinsou, you guys want to go to U.A. too?" Their teacher said boredly.

The silence was deafening to Izuku. He was expecting them to laugh again like last time, now the silence was only making him more and more uncomfortable each passing moment. Then the whispering started.

"Pft. He just got a Quirk and he's planning onto U.A.? Yeah right..."

"He probably thinks that they take in charity cases..."

"And should they even allow that kid to enter? His Quirk is so villainous..."

"I bet that he'd take control of the principal to let himself in..."

It wasn't anything that they haven't heard before but, why were they whispering? Were... Were they worried about what Izuku would do? Just because he has a Quirk now, they act all cautious?! What the hell?! Before Shinsou can tell any of them off, an unsuspecting voice screamed out.

"IF ANYONE OF YOU COWARDLY EXTRAS WANNA SAY SOMETHING, HAVE THE DAMN BALLS TO SAY IT OUT LOUD! IF NOT, SHUT YOUR SHITTY FUCKING MOUTHS UP, BEFORE I BLAST YOU ALL TO KINGDOM COME!!!" Bakugou seethed out, causing several of his classmates to flinch out of fear. Good.

Izuku and Shinsou were looking at Bakugou in sheer disbelief. It wasn't quiet enough for Bakugou to not have heard at least some bits that their class was saying. In fact, they were pretty positive that he heard all of it. So why would he just told them to shut up? They expected him to join at some point, but not this way.

"Okay, calm down Bakugou. This isn't appropriate for a future U.A. student." Their teacher eyed him nervously.

"Tch. Whatever. Bunch of extras..." Bakugou growled out before sitting back down again. Getting the rest of the class out of their stupor, none of them brave enough to ask what was going on with the explosive boy.

Izuku was still staring at his old friend incredulously. Still thinking that it wasn't even possible for this to have happened in the first! Not that he was complaining! But just... Why now? Was it because that he had a Quirk now? Would... Would this even happen if that spider hadn't bite him?

These were the thoughts that plauged Izuku for the rest of the day.

Evening finally came, Izuku was finishing up on his analysis while Shinsou, stood and waited. That is until Bakugou walked back into the room. Shinsou instantly became alarmed and looked out side, his cronies were no where to be seen, that's a relief. But still...

"Why are you here Bakagou. Go home already." Shinsou said, irritated.

"Shut it Eyebags, I'm just here to tal-" And gotcha. It was so simple to actually get him to talk when you wanted him to.

"Shinsou! Release him! He was saying something..." Izuku looked at the blank eyes of his former friend in curiosity.

"You crazy? He's gonna kill us both, you know that right?" Shinsou asked while jabbing his thumb torwards the blond.

"Just do it... Please?"

"Ugh. This is gonna be our funeral... " He deactivated his mind-control.

"-ASTARD!" Bakugou finally screamed. Looking at Shinsou with so much resentment that he was surprised the guy didn't immediately charge at him.

"I WAS TALKING YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"Well considering your track record, it doesn't stay as a "talk" for long."

"WHY I OUTTA-"

"K-Kacchan please! D-Don't kill him! If you n-need something, t-then please s-say it." Izuku voice trembled with every word.

"Tch. This isn't over." He pointed at the insomniac, who just flipped him off.

Bakugou rolled his eyes and then looked straigth into Izuku's soul.

"Deku..."

.

.

.

.

.

"Well? Spit it out already! We don't ha-" Shinsou began after the awkward silence only to be cut off by Bakugou.

"I'm fucking getting to it! Shut the fuck up!" It was Shinsou's turn to roll his eyes, god he was insufferable.

"Bastard... Deku, I'll only say this once and if you make me say it again, I will end you. AM I MAKING IT CLEAR?!" It was taking all of his being to not yell all of that out. It's probably not healthy but fuck it, who cares.

Izuku just frantically nodded. He was a nervous wreck by now, but he needed to pull through for a few more moments. He needed to hear what his old friend wanted to say so badly that he seeked him out.

Even Shinsou was silent at this point. He was acting like he didn't care but Izuku can see that he really did.

"..."

"Deku. I will fucking crush you at the entrance exam. IF YOU THINK, THAT HAVING A QUIRK NOW, ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE IT EASY FROM NOW ON." Bakugou grabbed Izuku by the colar, pulled him in close and the yelled "THEN YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING FOR YOU! UNDERSTOOD?!" And then he quickly turn around and left. Leaving both a wide-eyed Shinsou and a gobsmacked Izuku.

"... Did he just..."

"Yep."

"To..."

"Uh huh."

"About the..."

"Definitely."

Izuku took in a deep breath. "What the fuck." He asked, more like stated actually.

"Congratulations Midoriya. Not even a hero yet and you've earned yourself a goddamned rival."

Izuku decided to go home alone today, much to Shinsou's persistent. He just needed some time to think about what Bakugou had said mere moments ago. He wasn't even sure what just happened was even real! Maybe it was dream! Yeah, that's probably it! Cause' there was no way that Kacchan, just told him to take the entrance exam to freaking U.A.! It was impossible!

Before he can overthink it even more, his head started to ring and at the back of his neck, there was a tingling sensation.

'Spider-Sense? But there's nothing here...' He looked around and was surprise to see he was in a dark underpass. Has he been in thought for that long?

The world seemed to slow down as the tingling sensation got stronger. He was confused now, there was nothing remotely near him! He checked every where!

'Unless... Beneath me!' Izuku thought frantically as he turn around. He saw a pile of sludge getting out of a nearby sewer grate, it was dark toxic green in color and had a horrible smell even from where Izuku was standing.

Two tendrils then shot out of the moving sludge, aiming right for Izuku. As if on instinct, he dodge both of them by ducking and leaping away with a backflip, sticking onto a nearby wall. How did he do that?! But before he can comprehend the situation, a garbled voice spoke up.

"Ooooh! You're a quick one aren't you? And a medium sized body suit too! You may be just what I needed kid. Hold still! It'll only take a few seconds!" The voice said, now identified as coming from the sludge itself. Sending multiple of his tendrils torwards him, hoping to snatch up Izuku. He just continued to dodge, not giving the guy an opening to grab him. But...

"Hold still? Really? Did that one ever actually worked out for you? You should really consider what you threaten people with. Maybe an "I'll kill you!" here and there would really kick things up." Before Izuku even knows it, he was quipping at the murderous villain with every dodges he made.

"Arghhh! Just shut up already and die!" The sentient pile of sludge sent out even more tendrils, Izuku can see that the guy was getting pretty desperate. Maybe a hero was chasing him? If so...

"Now you're getting it! Do it again, but with feelings this time!" He dramatically hold out his ear. The Sludge Villain saw this and screamed out in rage. Sending sludge projectiles flying torwards Izuku.

"JUST FUCKING SHUT UP AND LET ME KILL YOU ALREADY YOU FUCKING WALL-CRAWLER!"

"There you go! You finally got it! You get a gold star!" He quipped again, dodging most of them. Some got into his hair though. Ugh, this is gonna take so long to wash out. He grabbed a nearby cinderblock and threw it at the sludge's only visible body part, his eyes. "You've earned it!" He hollered to the wide eyed villain.

"DAMNED BR-" And then he screamed out in anguish.

"You know, for a guy with only eyes and sewage, you should've seen that one coming." He chuckled at his own joke. Getting more angry yells from the villain. On the inside though, he was freaking the fuck out. He was actually trying to stop himself from talking the whole time, the words just kept flowing out of his mouth every time he got more afraid!

"OKAY THAT'S IT! IM GONNA-" The villain was cut off by a bellowing laughter, followed by someone jumping out onto the road.

'Is that...? No way! It's! It's!'

"DAMN YOU ALL MIGHT!"

"It's all right now young man! Why?" All Might readied his fist. "Because I am here!"

"Texas!"

"IT'S ALL YOUR DAMN FAU-"

"SMASH!"

A massive amount of wind pressure erupted after All Might threw his punch, splattering the remaining sewage of the unconscious villain all over the place.

"Ah, you're safe now young man! The villain is-"

"Ohmygoditsreallyallmighcanipleaseget-" Izuku rambled incoherently, making All Might sweat drop.

"Um, young man? I can't really understand you if you don't slow down..." He gave the boy a nervous chuckle.

"Oh! I'm sorry sir! It's just... You're All Might!" Izuku said in joy, almost vibrating with excitement from meeting his idol.

"HA! That, I am indeed. Now, would you be so kind to help me contain this villain." He held out an empty bottle.

"O-Of course sir! Right away!" And he began to help All Might of all people, to gather up what's left of the villain! All Might scooped up his two eyeballs, gross, and dropped it inside. Izuku gathered up some of the sludge and when he was finished, he closed the bottle and handed it over to All Might with shaky hands.

"H-Here you go sir! Ummm, uhhh, m-may I have your autograph please?!" Izuku couldn't help himself and squeaked that part out. Gaining another boisterus laugh from All Might.

"Of course! Young... Ah! My apologies, I haven't gotten your name yet!"

"Ah! I'm sorry! I-It's Midoriya! Izuku Midoriya! Sir!"

"Young Midoriya! You have helped me greatly in stalling the villain down. And for that, I thank you." All Might bowed to Izuku, shocking the boy even more. Can this day get any weirder?!

"And of course I will sign an autograph! It's the least that I can do!" He held out his enormous hand. Izuku frantically searched around for his notebook and gave it to him. All Might grabbed a marker and flip through a few pages to find a spot that he can sign for the fanboy.

'These analysis are quite good for someone his age. Impressive! Nedzu might even like him...' All Might thought to himself, finding an empty part and scrawling his famous signature onto it with surprising speed. He gave it back to the starstruck boy with a huge grin.

"There you go Young Midoriya! Now, I must be off to hand over this villain! Take care Young Man!" All Might said hurriedly. Readying to jump off at any moment.

Izuku stopped his nerding out. 'What?! There's so many question that I want to ask him! I have a Quirk now but I still need to know... Ah screw it.' Izuku did the unthinkable and most people would call you insane if you tried to do it. He grabbed onto All Might's leg while he was jumping away, and shoot off with him into the air. Both of them not noticing a weight in All Might's pocket was now gone mid-air.

Izuku would've love the sight that he got to see if he wasn't screaming in terror right now. He had just latched, onto All Mights leg, and now they were both panicking at over one hundred meters into the air. It would've been funny if All Might wasn't trying to frantically push him off.

"Young man! I love the enthusiasm but this is too much to handle!" All Might said, trying to pry Izuku off of him.

Izuku just looked at the guy in disbelief. "Are you serious?! We're like, a hundred meters into the air! If I let go now, I'll die!" And proceeded to slap his mouth shut again. Did he just sass the Symbol of Peace?!

All Might then stopped his struggling. "Oh yeah. You're right."

Izuku internally face palmed at All Might. How can he not know that?!

"Okay young man, I'll find us a place to land on. But then you're on your own!" All Might said while putting one hand on Izuku, making sure he doesn't fall off. He turned his face back torwards the city, looking for a landing place. Then, he coughed a few times, a small amount of blood dripping out of his mouth.

All Might quickly wiped it away before the kid can see it. 'Damn it...'

After a few moments, they both landed safely on a nearby rooftop. Izuku was almost hyperventilating after the realisation of what he did kicked in.

'I just... I just grabbed onto All Might! While he was jumping!' He thought with a nervous laughter. The situation was too weird even for Izuku to handle.

"Goodness. Now, please ask the people downstairs to help you. I really don't have the time." All Might started to walk away and waved his hand.

"W-Wait I-"

"No, I shall not!" All Might said and started to speed walk.

Izuku knew that his opportunity was running out. So, he took in a deep breath, and yelled out at the top of his lungs. "CAN I BE A HERO WITH A NEWLY DEVELOPED QUIRK?! PLEASE, I NEED TO KNOW!"

All Might stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the boy. Did he say what he thinks he said?

"Newly developed...?" Before he can look deeper into what the boy just said. A sharp pain went to his right side, making him wince.

'Shit, I took too long...' All Might grunted, steam coming out over his entire body.

Izuku didn't take notice and began to explain. "I... I recently developed a Quirk. I know that it probably doesn't make sense but... Everyone think that I don't have enough experience with this Quirk to ever become a hero. I've always wanted to become one like you for as long as I know now, it's all I've ever dreamed about. And when I suddenly developed a Quirk, I thought that I would be accepted again! But... they were just now cautious of me. They still have me as the outcast, the weak. So please... Do you think that I can become a hero...? Like you...?" He looked up and from the spot where All Might was, there's now a frail old man, with a bony stature, standing in the middle of a cloud of steam.

If anyone were around to hear the surprised screaming of Izuku ringing out, then they didn't make a comment about it.

Katsuki Bakugou was starting to regret the decision he made, in talking to the damned shitty nerd.

He told his goons to leave him while he had a little "chat" with Deku. He worded it so that they would think that he was just making Deku "learn a lesson". Thank god that none of them were smart enough to figure it out.

But his thoughts were swirling around the fact that he just said something almost nice to the bastard.

'Why the fuck did I even told him that?! He isn't worth my time!"

A memory of Katsuki and Izuku when they were younger, running around the playground laughing with each other.

He shook his head. 'Where the fuck did that come from?! He's just a Quirkless little shit!"

The memory of yesterday plays out in his mind.

Katsuki groaned. 'Right, not Quirkless anymore... But how did the nerd got his Quirk anyways? Quirks weren't suppose to develope after four years old!' The nerd just says that he's a late bloomer, but Katsuki doesn't trust everything he hears, that's what idiots do. So he searched his memories to see if the nerd had used that Quirk before, but all he found was some nostalgic memories and the weird feeling in his chest again. Damn it.

Katsuki kicked something in frustration and sent it flying. Just thinking about the little shit made him angry, but why?

'Because he has more right becoming a hero then you do...'

He shook his head again and exploded a nearby can angrily. Today was exhausting, he just wants to go home. Before he can do that however, a sinister voice called out to him.

"Ohohoho! An invisble cloak with power! You are just what I need brat!" A sludge monster came sliding out in front of the explosive boy.

Katsuki's shock turned into visible anger. "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!".

Meanwhile on a rooftop somewhere, Izuku was still screaming his lungs out in surprise. Where did All Might go?! Did he just freaking deflated in front of him?! What is going on?!

"Who are you?! Are you an imposter?! You're so skinny!" Izuku asked, majorly confused on what to do.

"I assure you, I am All Might." The guy said with blood spewing out of his mouth.

"Oh my god is that blood?! Are you okay sir?! Do you need to go to the hospital?!" Izuku forgot about All Might for a second, focusing on the presumingly injured man.

"I'm fine young man. Hm, most people would still be in denial now but you just asked if I needed help, that's good." The gauntly looking man gave Izuku a small amused smirk. Though he was also wary of the boy.

'A newly developed Quirk seems a lot like something he, would tell someone to say... But he's dead... Isn't he...?' All Might thought seriously.

"As for how I can look like my other form, imagine a guy at a pool sucking up his gut, it's like that." The man, presumably All Might, told Izuku nonchalantly, wiping away some of the blood.

Izuku just snorted. "That has to be the weirdest way that someone had explained their Quirk to me, and I met a guy who can pull out his own eyes!" He joked to at least try to calm down his nerves a little bit. Still, it was working, only a little but, hey, it works.

"You... Are surprisingly calm with this. When people first saw me transfromed, it took them at least ten minutes to calm down." He stated while eyeing Izuku suspiciously, this wasn't really helping the boy's case much.

"Oh no I'm freaking out. My idol just turned into a skeleton and I'm not freaking out? Please, I'm using humour to cope!" Izuku said too cheerfully for All Might's taste, he really doesn't understand this generation's humour anymore.

All Might sat down and thought for a moment, if this boy was really with him, then he needed to make sure and there's a definite way to gauge the boy's reaction.

"Now that you've seen me like this, do not write about this online." And he lifted up the right side of his shirt to show the boy his mangled scar. His reaction relieved him for a bit, it was the look of pure horror and worry, one that he had seen too many times to know that this was a genuine reaction from the shocked kid.

'So he doesn't know about my injury, that's a relief. All for One wouldn't waste the chance to tell any of his minions my weakness...' Still, he wasn't about to trust the boy that soon.

"Are you sure you're all right?! That scar looks horrible!" Izuku finally broke out of his silence, wondering who could've done this to the Symbol of Peace.

"I'm fine now. But five years ago, an enemy did this to me in an attack. It blew out half of my respiratory system and destroyed most of my stomach, the after effects of the surgery to keep me alive left me like this. My capacity to do hero work is now limited to three hours a day." All Might said bitterly.

Izuku looked even greener than usual. "Five years ago... Was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?"

"You're knowledgeable I give you that, but no, that punk was tough but he didn't even leave a scratch on me. This was the fight that wasn't shown to the public per my request... I will save people with a smile on my face. The Symbol of Peace cannot simply be bested by evil. That is the reason why I laugh young man, to distract myself, from the fear and from the pressure of the life of a hero..." As All Might finished his speech, he took a look at Izuku. The boy was now wearing a solemn look, like he was in deep thought. Before All Might can get his attention, Izuku snapped up and look at the hero with a a nervous.

"All Might... I want to tell you something about my Quirk, since you told me all of... That. So, may I...?" He gestured to the spot next to the bony man, All Might just shrugged as if to say "go right on ahead".

Izuku sat down next to him, took a deep breath and said something that made All Might's heart stop for a moment.

"My Quirk was not naturally developed..."

'No. No no no no, don't tell me...!'

"It was basically given to me..."

'Don't! Don't tell me he's...!'

"By a spider."

And the world went silent to All Might, as he processed what he just heard.

"Eh? What do you me-" An enormous explosion rang out from the distance, cutting off the skeletal man. He instictively sent him hand down to his pockets... To find the villain now missing from his grasp.

Izuku looked at All Might's pocket and looked at the explosion. They both turned torwards each other and said one word that perfectly describe their situation.

"Oh shit."

They both hurriedly ran to the site of the explosion. All Might begrudgingly being carried on Izuku's back to get there faster. He would've passed out from fan boying if it wasn't for the situation at hand.

"Come on! Hurry up young man!" All Might said urgently.

"I'm trying! It's hard to balance myself to go full speed without my arms!" Izuku nervously yelled.

On the inside, both of them were chastising themselves for what was happening.

'All Might lost the bottle because of me! I shouldn't have grab onto him! I'm just a drag on everyone! How can I possibly be considered a hero...?!'

'I was so distracted by my time limit! I made such a big mistake while talking to my fan. How pathetic am I...'

'Pathetic...'

'I'm so sorry All Might. Mom, I've failed you...' Tears were gathering in his eyes now. But luckily, they made it to the scene without any drops falling. Izuku put All Might down, catching his breath for a bit, not that he was tired much, it was just for him to collect his bearings.

They both looked down the place that was once a shopping district, it was burning profusely. Window were broken everywhere and the heroes were standing still, including All Might himself. He was still wallowing in his failure.

Izuku recognized all of them immediately, it was Kamui Woods, Backdraft, Death Arms and Mount Lady! He looked through the crowd to see that it was definitely the sludge villain that attacked him. He grimaced and the tears started again.

'It's all your fault...'

'I should've been here...'

"Why are the heroes standing around?" A civilian voiced out their thoughts

"None of them have the right Quirk, the villain had taken a middle schooler" Another answered them.

Then Izuku looked up again to see the villain keeping hold of someone, their familiar blood red eyes full of panic and fear. It was... Kacchan?! And something inside of him lit up like a beacon.

All Might would never forget the sight that he witnessed that day. He was shocked beyond belief! The boy, who he wrongly accused of working for him, ran in headfirst torwards the fire and the flames without even a hint of hesitation.

Everyone in the area also gasped in surprise and terror.

"Idiot! Get back here! Stop! Stop running!" Death Arms yelled out angrily.

The sludge villain took notice and he looked even angrier than before when he realized who it was.

"YOU AGAIN?! I'll KILL YOU!" The villain used Katsuki's Quirk to try and blast Izuku away but he just easily flipped away from the attack, stuck on the wall and started running again.

"Deku...?" Katsuki finally noticed him.

'Why am I running?! What am I doing?! My legs can't stop! I don't even have a plan to pull him out! There are nothing to use besides... Wait, that might just work!' Izuku smiled to himself as he formulates his plan.

"Hi there, miss me? Wanna start lesson number 2 then?" Izuku said casually while leaping from wall to wall, dodging explosions and tendrils alike with graceful ease. Pulling on a broken pole, he broke off a piece of it and chucked it with power. "It's called "Going to jail like a villain!" 101."

"HA! That tricked won't work on me twice!" The villain moved his eyes out of the way, laughing at his own genius. Until the piece flew straight into his mouth, choking him from the sudden appearance of an object down his throat, causing him to loosen his grip on Katsuki.

"Are you sure about that?" Izuku said cheerfully while jumping up and grabbing some decorative rope that was still there, and swinging down behind him. His crazy plan was actually working out wonderfully!

Everyone was in awe from what they were seeing. The kid's speed, agility, strength and reflex was out of this world! Even the pro heroes were standing in amazement at what the kid was doing, especially All Might.

"This kid..." The man said in a hopeful voice, his form was getting bigger and bigger, steam rising from his body again.

Izuku pulled several of the ropes down, holding them together to create a strong bond. "Here goes nothing..." And then he ran torwards the villain, who has now recovered enough to talk.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH A BUNCH OF STUPID ROPE?! I'M LIQUID! YOU CAN'T HOLD ON TO ME EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO!" The villain mocked again, clearly not learning the lesson of underestimating Izuku.

The boy in question just gave the villain a shaky smirk. "Oh I know that, I'm not grabbing you."

He took one end of his rope, throwing it around the villain. Then, he unravels the rest and ran torwards the crowd again while the guy was distracted, he caught the rope before it landed and was holding both ends tightly, effectively making a loop around the confused villain. "I'm grabbing him."

And with a mighty pull, the rope went through the villain and he managed to pull Katsuki out of his predicament. Getting cheers from the whole crowd as he did.

"Oh my god he did it!"

"Yeah! Way to go kid!"

"Did you see all of his flipping and stuff?! He was a natural!"

"And he's a middle school student too! Look at that uniform!"

Katsuki finally got his bearings and screamed at the nerd that was pulling him out. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I DON-"

"Kacchan, please. You can yell at me later! But right now, I need you to blast that guy open!" Izuku pointed at the now enrage villain charging at them.

Before Katsuki can even react, something, or someone, stood in the middle of the way of the oncoming villain. Several people screamed out of joy, and some of the heroes finally relaxed from who just arrived. Katsuki looked closer and widened at the familiar blond tuffs of hair pointing to the sky.

"Holy crap! It's...! It's!"

"ALL MIGHT!!!" Somehow, the villain got angrier than before. Lashing out at every thing around him.

"Young man, I thank you. But it's all right now. Why? Because I am here!" All Might readied his fist again.

"Detroit..."

"SCREW YOU ALL MIG-"

"SMAAAAAAASH!!!"

And with that as a final note, Izuku passed out from exhaustion.

Chapter Text

When Izuku finally woke up, he expected to be in a hospital room somewhere. So it was a surprise, to see Bakugou standing over him with his arms crossed against his chest, back facing towards him.

"Ka... Kacchan? Oof, what happened?" Izuku asked blearily, still drowsy from what he could assume from how tired he was, a coma.

"You happened you fucking idiot. Who gave you the right to just go swinging down there and then pass out for 5 minutes?!" Katsuki seethed, still not looking at Izuku.

"Eheh, sorry about th-"

"Oi kid you're awake! That was some amazing things that you did today! Care to comment on how you felt during that whole time?" A reporter cut off Izuku and shoved a microphone into his face.

"Huh? What is-"

"Kid! How do you feel about today's events? Do you have anything to say about the heroes that were here today?" Another one rudely cut him off again. Thought at least they didn't shove something torwards him.

"I-I'm sorry I-" Before he can answer them, Katsuki rages out.

"OI! STOP BOTHERING THE FUCKING NERD AND FUCK OFF YOU DAMNED VULTURES! HE JUST GOT UP FOR FUCK SAKES!" The blond boy screamed at the top of his lungs, alerting everyone in the area.

"Fuck this shit." Katsuki grabbed Izuku by the collar and began to drag him off to who know where. "COME ON DEKU! WE'RE FUCKING GOING!" He screamed out again, almost like a warning to those that were approaching them. It... Kinda worked? It definitely did stop the newbie reporters. Though the more experience ones were still stubborn as heck.

"Wait a minute! Just give us-"

"WE DON'THAVE TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING! NOW LEAVE US BE! OR ELSE...!" Katsuki popped a few explosion, causing all of them to step back and Izuku to flinch a little at the sight.

The heroes would've stepped in, but the glare that Katsuki was giving them told them otherwise. They decided to leave the two students alone, rationalizing that it has been a long day for the both of them.

And then Katsuki and Izuku were off, leaving some angry reporters behind and carrying with them, an awkward silence.

It was a while before Izuku finally managed to fish up the courage to talk to Katsuki.

"K-Kacchan...?"

"What do you want nerd." Katsuki gave him a glare, making the green haired boy flinch slightly.

"W-Why... Why are you walking with me...?" Izuku closed his eyes and waited for the boy to finally blow up at any moment... But it never came. Katsuki just held an impassive face the whole time.

"... Just felt like it. Got a problem with that." The explosive blond said without a hint of anger, just... calmness. It was unnerving honestly. Seeing Kacchan... Not being Kacchan. So he got up his courage again and asked the question that has been plaguing him for a while.

"N-No, just. Why now? Why today? Is... Is it because I have a Quirk now...?" Izuku asked, afraid on what Katsuki's answer may be.

Katsuki actually didn't know how to respond to that one. So he stopped walking for a moment, and gather up his thoughts. Izuku was nervous on what he was about say.

"Yes? No? Maybe?! I don't really fucking know either. But really, it just makes you more tolerable. And as for why now..."

Memories of Izuku laughing happily with him fills his mind, they were screaming at the top of their lungs about chasing villains and never once, did he saw that smile of Izuku falter, it only shined even brighter. It was giving him several confusing feelings that he... didn't really hate? He doesn't know how to describe them other than the fact that it was strange.

"... None of your damned business." And he kept on walking, with a confused Izuku, not knowing whether to cry from happiness, or to sit down and weep.

They walked toghether for a moment before they split off, Bakugou even giving his goodbyes properly this time! Only cursing out Izuku once! He'd consider that a major improvement!

His spirits was in high hopes when a familiar voice calls out.

"I am here!" The Symbol of Peace intoduced himself, Izuku yelping in surprise at the loud sound.

"All Might?! W-What are you doing here?! Didn't I saw you with a swarm of reporters a while ago?"

The man just gave Izuku his signature laugh and a thumbs up. "Evading the press is easy. The reason? Because I am All Mig-" And he reverted back into his other form, spitting blood out like a faucet. It was really not, a pretty sight.

"All Might! Jesus, you call this fine?! Here, have some tissues!" Izuku didn't know where he kept the courage to actually scold down All Might, but he found that it was very useful for this situation.

"Heh, t-thank you Young Midoriya." The boy was actually reminding him of how Chiyo would treat him if she found out he skipped out on meals in favor of hero work. He did not like the implication of this, especially if the boy was about to accept what he was going to offer him.

"Anyways. Young man, I came all the way here to give my thanks to you and to give some advice. Though that friend of yours was making the task rather difficult." All Might let out some amused chuckles.

"If it wasn't for your quick actions and skills... I would've just been as helpless as all those civilians. I thank you greatly for that."

"No, no All Might, you shouldn't thank me. It was my fault in the first place... I interrupted your hero work and let everyone get in danger because of it... I'm no hero." Izuku said bitterly with sadness in his eyes.

"Even so, it was none other than you, a kid who just developed his Quirk, was what spurred me on." All Might looked at Izuku with a hard gaze, not letting the boy say anything else to put himself down further.

Izuku was quiet now. A mild surprised look was now spreading over his features.

All Might continued. "All top heroes leave fantastic and amazing stories from their younger days. And many of them shared these words... "My legs moved before I can even think."..." Izuku felt tears streaming down his face now, why was he crying?

"You thought the same didn't you?" Izuku was now holding his chest, trying his best to stop his full on sobbing. Memories of all the years of frustration and torment flooding back to him.

"Young man, I never did answer you question before so I will say this now. You can become a Hero." All Might stared at Izuku with a determined look and that was all it took for him to break down.

It was too much for Izuku to handle, so, he let it all out. His sounds of sobbing, filled with relief and joy from the implication of what All Might just said to him.

'I... I can be a Hero Mom! Kacchan! Shinsou! I didn't fail you...'

That was the day that Izuku learned, that dreams can become a reality.

That was the day, that his journey, to become the world's greatest hero, had truly begun.

After Izuku had relatively stopped himself from crying anymore, he let a small smile grace his face. This day was turning out to be the best day of his entire life! What more can he even ask for?

"That is why, I deemed that you are worthy, of inheriting my power." All Might said dramatically, spreading apart his arms.

'Excuse me, worthy of WHAT?!' Izuku screeched in his mind.

"I'm sorry, but what do you mean about "inheriting your power"?" Izuku asked, eerily calm.

All Might just tried to do his signature laugh, but all it sounded like was an old man cackling.

"Ah you should really see the look on your face right now! It's just a suggestion for later. But for now, let's talk." He started walking torwards Izuku, pointing up into the sky.

"Listen here Young Midoriya, what I'm trying to say is... Do you want to accept my power?!" All Might exclaimed pointing at Izuku, spitting out even more blood.

Izuku was just theorising now after what he had just heard.

'Is... Is All Might talking about giving me his power? I mean, I know that it's kinda possible, considering what happened to me, but... How?' Izuku didn't look anymore surprise than All Might had thought he would be.

"If you're wondering about my powers boy, let's just say it's almost like the spider that gave you your powers... Although you do really need to explain that story for me later." He added with a curious look to the boy.

"Anyways, if you had been reading the papers, you'd probably notice that the news say that my Quirk is pure strength or just a physical boost. I even evaded the question multiple times with a smooth joke during interviews and such. Because you see, All Might, the Symbol of Peace, had to be a natural born hero... But now you're going to know the truth. My Quirk was passed onto me like a sacred torch..." All Might told dramatically again, spreading his arms out and looking up into the sky.

Izuku managed to supress his snort. 'Drama queen...'

All Might continued. "And next... It's your turn to hold it."

Now at that poin, Izuku stopped him. "Hold your horses All Might, are you sure that you want me to inherit it? I mean, even the entire world has been debating it as one of the Seven Wonders of the World! I mean sure, I know a thing a too about being pass on a power. but how does that apply with you? Do you also have some special type of radiation? 'Cause that's one of the reason it actually managed, to give me a power in the first place. Nobody else has reported being given a power like you did just now, well, except me of course, but aside that, no one has actually even brought it up." Izuku was then snapped out of his muttering session by All Might speaking up.

"Do you always starts things with denial? That's nonsense!" All Might said that last part out in english, making Izuku look up at him with embarrassment.

"E-Eh? Oh. Sorry All Might, got a little carried away there." Izuku scratch at the back of his head.

"I have a lot of secrets boy, but I am no liar. The Quirk that can transfer from user to user, One for All, exist whithin me." All Might said, turning deadly serious.

"One peron gains this power and passes it onto another, that person cultivates it and passes it again. The cycle starts again through all different generations and now, it belongs to you. If, you wish to inherit it of course. But your words of hesitance, have already made you even more worthy in my eyes." All Might said, pointing to Izuku with a smile.

Izuku's thoughtful look turned into a determined one and it made All Might ever so sure of his decision. "If you say so All Might. Then I'll accept your offer with open arms." He made a triumphant grin and a thumbs up torwards the man himself. Heh, he really liked the boy's style.

"I'd figured you'd say that. Now, It's getting rather late, even though I want to hear you side of the story. Let's meet up two days from now, at Dagobah Municipal Beach Park. Here, let me give you my number, I'll contact you to gi... Are you all right Young Midoriya?" All Might said confused, noticing how the boy was vibrating, was he crying? Did he do something wrong? His questions were answered with an excited shriek.

"I'M GETTING ALL MIGHT'S NUMBER! HOLY CR-" And right back to fanboying.

Waking up early was harder than it looks, Izuku realized after finishing his second cup of coffee.

After he got home that night, his mom has been worried sick after the news. She scolded him profusely and started crying, which in turn also made him cry and... Yeah you get the gist of it.

He asked his mom to make more dinner than usual for his empty stomach, which she didn't argue to. She loved making food for her son. Izuku ate almost all of the food that night, only stopping when they've ran out of rice. So he washed up, went to bed, and proceeded to fall into a food coma for twelve hours straight.

When his mind finally caught up to his body, Izuku hurriedly left a note for his mom, saying that he was going out to excercise for a little bit and to not worry. It killed him to lie to his mom like this, but this was All Might's secret and it wasn't his to tell. So he sucked it up and started to jog to Dagobah beach, where his meeting with All Might awaits him.

When he finally arrived, the familiar figure of a gauntly man greeted him with a smile.

"Good, you're right on time. Now before we can get into the juicy details, please tell me more on how your Quirk works." All Might said cheerfully.

"O-Okay then. Tell me if there's anything that you're confused on." Izuku nervously said, the shock of meeting his idol again hasn't really worn off. All Might just gave him another thumbs up and sat down to listen.

"So. Let's start on the day that the spider bit me..." And then he proceeded to tell him all of it. The first time he learned of his powers and his mother finding out, the tests that he had to do to get it registered, the reveal to his class and the day that he met the sludge villain and All Might.

It... It was a lot of information for All Might to handle. In many ways, he and the boy are the same. With them being both Quirkless when they were young and both being given extraordinary powers to wield. It was nice to find someone else that he can relate to, even if it was his own successor. But there is something that was bothering him...

"What happened to the spider after it bit you?" All Might asked, genuinely curious about it's fate.

Izuku paused. "Oh. It kinda... just, crawled into the vent and disappeared? I was too busy trying not to vomit to inform the scientists about it... You don't think something happened to it?"

They both stared for a while, awaiting some sort of reaction from the other. All Might spoke up first. "Nah, it's probably fine. Let's not dig in too deep into that kind of stuff." He said casually like this was a normal occurence. On the inside though, he was wondering if it had bitten anyone else... but he decided to keep that part to himself, as to not worry his successor even more.

"Anyways, now that that's all done. Let's talk about the reason why we're here in the first place." All Might stood up and pointed to the mountains of trash on the beach. "What do you see Young Midoriya?"

"Honestly? With my eyes. But yeah, I do see the heaping pile of trash. Kinda hard not to when it's literally covering the horizon."

"Ha! Nice one kid. But we aren't here for jokes today, no. You see, this beach when I was younger, used to be very beautiful. But, due to the currents around here, it usually wash up trash down the shore. People took advantage of this and started illegally dumping their trash here. Even the locals don't come around anymore." All Might stated, almost saddened at that fact.

"That's horrible! How can someone just do that?" Izuku sounded almost offended at the thought of someone even daring to litter.

All Might smirked. "Yes, it is indeed. But that's why we are here today! You know, being a hero isn't always about stopping crime and defeating villains. back then, some hero would volunteer to do some community service to give back to the people they helped. Even civilians were taking part." He let out a sigh. "But alas, after a while, heroes stopped doing it altogether. That is why we're here today! To clean up this beach and prepare you to become a proper vessel!" He turned back into his hero form, jumping down the beach and crushing a large fridge in the area with the palm of his hand, even blasting a nearby portion of the trash, revealing the morning sun. It was so cool!

"I get it now! But, what do you mean "proper vessel"...?" Izuku asked genuinely confused. Didn't All Might himself say that he was worthy?

"You may be worthy, yes. But if you don't train hard enough to prepare your body, your limbs would shoot off if you tried to use it!" All Might said waaay too cheerful for Izuku's taste. How can the man even say that with a straight look on his face?

Izuku looked haunted. "Y-You know All Might? That would've been really crucial information for you to mention yesterday."

"Well, at least I told you didn't I? Now chop chop! Your body ain't going to train itself!"

And so begins the first day of hell training for the poor boy.

The first day honestly wasn't so bad. All Might had figured out how Izuku can get a good sweat despite his spider strength and it was surprisngly ingenius of him. Though pulling two trucks and a fridge around the beach seems a bit of an overkill...

When all was said and done, Izuku was breathing hard and his shirt was now drenched in sweat. It was a considerably good workout for him.

"So, what do you think about your first day of training Young Midoriya?" All Might, now in his skinny form, asked Izuku.

The boy was still panting a bit. "It- Whew. It was exhausting. But I-Oof. Do feel a lot better than before." He sat down to steady his breathing.

"That's the spirit my boy! If you keep this up, you'll be in tip top shape in no time!" All Might flashed a proud grin.

"You're lucky that your powers lets you do whatever a spider can, other wise a lot of this would've been impossible for you to do." He added with a whisper.

"Y-Yeah. Though I'm still wondering why I don't produce any webs. Shouldn't spiders be able to do that?" Izuku wondered tiredly. His powers were still confusing to him.

"It's no big deal Young Midoriya! Your wits and intelligence should be enough to make up for what you lack anyways." The man said encouragingly to his successor.

"Still though... Would've been cool if I had them..." Then Izuku was struck with a thought. A lot of the stuff he's been gathering were metal scraps that people left behind, there were even a collection of circuit boards that were left to waste on a big pile, and even some reusable part of a computer. So maybe...

"Hey All Might? What if I make my own webs?" Izuku said with an excited glint in his eyes.

All Might just smiled even harder at the boy's adaptibility. "That's a great idea Young Midoriya! Now that's what I call using your head! But... Where are you going to find the materials for your "project"?"

"Oh some the scrap here should work pretty fine for the base. I do need some chemicals to actually try and make a web that can actually be useful though... Maybe I'll ask my science teacher to show me where to buy them." Izuku finished with a shrug, but the glint in his eyes hasn't disappeared yet.

"Then it's settled then. I look forward to what you can show me, Young Midoriya." All Might put one hand on Izuku's shoulder, gave him a nod before turning and walking away. Leaving Izuku behind, more determined that he has ever been.

'I should've brought more coffee to class.' Izuku thought as he was struggling to even stay awake and fuction properly like a normal human being.

It probably wasn't healthy to stay up until three in the morning, working on his little design for the "Web-shooters", then sleeping for three hours and then starting his second day of training, without breakfast might he add. And then going to school with only half a cup of coffee in his stomach. But he couldn't help himself okay? He was too into this project just leave it for later!

Shinsou didn't know what to say when his friend showed up to class, looking more tired than Eraserhead after a night's patrol. So he settle for a raised eyebrow to show his curiosity. Izuku just look at him, and simply shook his head, signalling a very clear message of "don't ask". Bakugou on the other hand...

"Deku, why the fuck do you look like you've been running on your last fucking fumes?" Katsuki cut out the bullshit and got straight into the point.

The blond only now notice the hungry look that the nerd was giving... His coffee?

"Oh no you fucking don't! This is fucking mine!" He grabbed his coffee the moment he saw the little shit went for it, causing Izuku to all but pouted.

"But Kacchaaaaan, I need it." Izuku tried to tiredly grab for it again much to Katsuki's rage.

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME YOU FUCKING GREMLIN!" Katsuki raged out, holding the cup of coffee out of Izuku's reach.

"I'll only take a sip. Just let me-"

"NO, FUCK OFF!"

"Hey Midoriya. Knock knock."

"Huh? Who's th-" Izuku was hit by the familiar feeling of Shinsou's mind control, letting go of Katsuki's arm.

"Go down to the nurse's office and take a damn nap." Shinsou commanded his friend, watching him shuffling away like a zombie.

Katsuki just eyed the boy angrily. None of them saying anything to each other, until Katsuki grumbled out something that surprised them all.

"Thanks... I fucking guess..." Katsuki looked away and sat down. Leaving a stunned Shinsou standing and a shocked class.

"Ummm... You're... Welcome...?" The boy awkwardly respond, not knowing how to deal with a situation like this.` The explosive blond just grunted and didn't say anything else... What the hell happened to him?

Izuku woke up and joined the land of the living about an hour later. Just in time for Uroko's class, he was excited for this one, they were practicing with chemicals today! And he just couldn't help but look forward to it.

Izuku entered the classroom to be greeted with the sight of his sensei smiling softly at him.

"Ah Midoriya! You're right on time! Please get seated. Class is about to start." Uroko said kindly and gestured to his seat. Izuku bowed to him and complied.

"Took you fucking long enough you fucking nerd." Katsuki growled... Softly? Can that even be a thing?

Uroko raised an eyebrow in amusement, looking at the blond boy. Katsuki saw this, rolled his eyes at their teacher and looked away. Izuku was just confused seeing their interaction. Was he missing something important here?

Shinsou was just sitting there, contemplating whether or not he was in another universe.

"Alright class. Now that we're all here, let's get to today's assignment shall we? Follow me to the lab." And so they did. They really liked this teacher so there weren't any complaints.

When they arrive at the lab, they saw several chemical pitchers, already laid out on multiple tables. They were seriously estatic on what they were going to experiment on today.

"Now please choose a table and get into groups of three. I'll be giving you the assignment in a moment." Uroko said while pulling out a stack of paper, gesturing for them to go in without him.

Shinsou and Midoriya were obviously paired together, but nobody else wanted to be with them. So, settling his eyes on a certain blond who hasn't join anyone yet, he took a big gulp of air and decided to wing it.

"Midoriya? Midoriya, what are you do-. No. No no no no. No, we are not getting him into ou-"

"H-Hey Kacchan. Ummm... W-Would you want to j-join my g-group? O-Only if y-you want to though." Izuku asked Katsuki, getting amused looks from the class who's waiting for a show to happen. But one of Bakugou's cronies mocked out.

"HA! "O-oNlY iF yOu-" Shut up already if you can't speak properly, go back to your loser of group. He's in mine anyways." The bully mocked him, getting laughter from the class. Izuku shrinked in on himself, already regretting his decision. Just then, an explosion came near the bully's face, making Izuku flinch by reflex and the bully to pale.

"I decides who gets to be in my group fuck face. And I decided, that it doesn't envolve any of you extras! If I even hear a sound that is even similar to a complaint. You're. All. Dead." Katsuki's voice held a dangerous tone that none of them wanted to fuck with. The bully just garbled out nonsense apologies and scrambled away from the angry blond.

"Where's you fucking table Deku." Katsuki commanded the still horrified Izuku.

"Ah! R-Right o-over there." Izuku pointed in fear and confusion. He didn't want to question Kacchan on his decision. They both walked back to their table, leaving the class to wonder what the fresh hell was happening today.

Shinsou was now adamant that he was sent into another universe where Bakugou was actually cool.

Uroko stood behind the door with a smile. He still didn't approve of the way Bakugou acted, but at least it's a major improvement from the first time he met the boy.

"All right guys, today, you're going to make "this" chemical compound." Uroko said while pointing at the name on the black board. It was easy enough to do, now all they needed was some simple instruction on how to create it.

"Without the use of instructions." Uroko finished with a cheeky smile.

The whole class groaned at the implication, Izuku was focusing on something else at the moment. He already knew how to make that one, it can easily take him a minute to do it. No, right now he was thinking what chemicals he should use to make his web formula. He already got some theories written out, but he needed to actually test them out first, and he didn't have the materials he needed yet.

"Oi Eyebags! Pass me that fucking vial."

"What's the magic word~."

"Pass me that fucking vial or I'll burn your house to the ground."

Izuku can think about this one later, right now he needed to stop a homicide from happening.

"H-Here you go Kacchan. Now, remember to pour it down slowly or else-"

"I fucking get it you Deku. Now stop fucking talking."

...Now, you'd think a guy who can make explosions would be happy seeing one near his face. But you'd be wrong, so so wrong.

"..."

"..."

"...I told you to do it slowly..."

"Shut your fucking stupid mouth."

"Okay class, I'd call that a successful session, wouldn't you agree?" Uroko said cheerfully.

Nobody answered him. They were too tensed to talk after witnessing Bakugou setting off three explosions that didn't come from his hands. He was stewing in rage now, only Izuku was seen standing next to the boy, bless his soul.

"Welp. You guys should go back to your classroom, your next class should start any minut-" They didn't bother to listen to their teacher finish, racing to get out of Bakugou's vacinity. Shinsou giving his friend a sorry look before leaving him alone with Katsuki.

"Wow, they just took off huh?" Izuku tried to joke, but seeing Katsuki's expression didn't change, he decided to stop.

"Oh yeah! Uroko-sensei! May I ask you something?"

Uroko stopped his inner worrying for Bakugou. "Yes Midoriya? What do you need from me?"

"I was wondering if you can tell some cheap places that sells chemical supplies? I'm planning on to make something to support my Quirk and I just need to find the right chemical compound to do it, I'm kinda lacking on materials." He explained excitedly.

Bakugou snapped out of his enraged state. "Huh? What the fuck do you mean "support your Quirk"? You too damn weak or something?!"

Uroko was slightly surprised that was all it takes to get Bakugou's attention. He needed to take notes.

Izuku was baffled that Kacchan was even listening. "Oh! Kachhan! Ummm... Not really, no. I just thought that if I'm trying to fit the theme of "whatever a spider can", then I should probably make some webbing of my own. You know? Since... I don't have any..." He awkwardly explained to Katsuki.

Katsuki just huffed. "Sounds dumb to me but whatever you stupid Deku. You won't be able to beat me anyways. Have fun with your idiotic nerd talk, I'm leaving." And he slammed the door shut to both of their faces. Getting the duo to sweat drop.

"That aside. Sure, I can get you the details to some of the places I often go to. But... I do have a spare chemistry set at home, I'll give that one to you instead. I have no use for it." Uroko ruffled the amazed boy's head, surprise at it's softness.

'This is nice...'

"Really?! Thank you sir! I appreciate it very much!" Izuku bowed profusely at his teacher, getting quite a few chuckles from him.

Unbeknowst to them however, Katsuki was standing behind the door with a rare smile. Was he actually happy for the nerd now? He doesn't dwell on it for too long before he heads back to class.

A week after Izuku had gotten his new set, he already started experimenting on some of the chemicals within it, but none of them felt right. So he gathered up his savings, and went to the shop to get more supplies. It took half of his money but he thought that it was a worth while investment.

Izuku has now tried over fifty combinations and had failed, all of them. It was driving him practically insane by this point, why was it so hard to find the right compound?! He ranted to All Might on one of their training sessions.

"Ugh. Why was this so hard? I've tried so many things, but they never seem to work out! What am I doing wrong All Might?" Izuku complained while dragging three trucks and two fridges behind him, with the hero in question sitting on top of them. He had already picked out the scaps he wanted to bring home earlier, so they were moving onto his daily routine.

"Don't give up so easily Young Midoriya! It's a tough journey, but I believe that you can figure it out! Just... Trust your instincts!"

'Yeah, that's the kind of thing you'd say to encourage someone!' All Might thought proudly, internally giving himself a pat on the back.

"Hmmm. Yeah. Yeah! You're right All Might! I just need to put trust in my instincts!" This might actually just work! His spider-sense might be able to find the right one that he needed. Now he just needs to find a way to use it like that... To be honest, it sounded easier than actually trying to combine every possible combination.

"Thank you Young Midoriya! I'm glad to have helped you!"

'Holy crap that actually worked?! I'm amazing!' All Might smiled even harder at his act of genius.

That night, Izuku laid out all of his remaining chemicals. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and focused. After a while, he finally felt the familiar ringing of his Quirk. He focused on his objective, he wanted to make a strong, nylon like substance that has just enough elasticity and stickiness for him to hold on and support his own weight. He let his hands move on their own, his instincts telling him which one to choose.

After he grabbed several of the chemicals, the ringing stopped and he opened his eyes again. Seeing that it had narrowed down his selection considerably. He gained a confidence smirk.

"Okay, then. Let's get right down to work!" He hyped himself up for the upcoming sleepless night that he was about to have.

'This is going to be fun!' He thought with sadistic glee, while combining his new concotion.

Chapter Text

After two sleepless nights, Izuku finally managed to create the perfect combination that he needed! It still took him some time before he managed to do it, but still, the attempts got more results than the last time. Thank god. He was on the edge of spilling his own blood into the compound to see if it would work.

He even created small cartridges to help him with carrying all of it around easier. It surprisingly works great! It holds a lot of the fluid and is light enough so it isn't a hindrace to him, it's also refillable so that he doesn't need to throw it out after he's done with it. All in all, great use for hero work!

"Now, all I need is to make the web-shooters! This is going to be so easy!" Izuku air pumped at his success.

'Me and my big mouth...' Izuku thought bitterly as he's stuck on the wall of his web covered room.

He actually made a working prototype on the first try, but all it did was shoot out the web like a glue, which is not what a spider's suppose to do. His second prototype didn't work at all, clogging up the nozzle instantly everytime he tried to shoot it. The third actually exploded after he failed to connect the wires properly, making his room the way it is now... Well, at least he knows it can properly stick to stuff.

Inko went to checkup on her son after hearing an explosion in his room. Did Katsuki come over or something? She didn't see anyone enter the house...

"Izuku? Do you have a friend over?" She push on the door to find that she can only open it a little, but that was enough to see her son sprawling on the wall, being held there by some sort of... Web? What is that thing?

"Izuku?! What happened?! Are you hurt?!" She panicked, trying her best to push through the door to find that her efforts were useless. It wouldn't budge no matter what she did!

"I-I'm fine Mom! It's just a webbing that I made! It'll... Probably dissolve in a few hours or so! Just need to work out some of the kinks first." Izuku awkwardly chuckled for his mom.

"Oh... Okay then Izuku, if you're... Sure... I'll leave you to your own devices." Inko closed the door, leaving her son hanging there, comtemplating whether or not he should tell his mom to cut it off of him... Meh, he needed a nap anyways.

Izuku ended up sleeping in until the next evening.

After going through several infuriating trials and errors, Izuku made a pretty decent pair of web-shooters for him to use. It's clunky and a bit unwieldy sometimes, but it does the job well enough. And all it took was his sleep and his will to live!

Izuku had already done most of the necessary testing, it shoots pretty accurately, the web line holds strong enough to pull things torwards him. And he even managed to make it shoot out in different forms! Apart from the web line, there's a fine quick-spreading spray that can be used over large areas, he learned that if he tap quickly enough, the line comes out as small sections and hit something with enough force to stick it to the wall. Pretty handy if you asked him.

Now for the final test, he wanted to do something a bit crazy here. All Might wouldn't have approved of it and his mom definitely wouldn't approve of it, in fact, she'd have a heart attack if she knew.

So, feeling a bit confident, with some recklessness thrown in here and there, Izuku decided to climb up to the top of I-Centre, where he would begin his final testing. It was an experience climbing up that high, by the time he was on top, he was laughing hysterically at the weirdness of it all. Luckily, people didn't noticed him doing that also.

Izuku peaked over the edge a little bit, has it always been this high? But he steeled his nerves and began taking notes

"Final test, swinging durability. The web I made was, observed to able to support me easily, letting me even hang upside down. But now I need to test if it can actually support me while I swing around. If it works, I'll have a new mode of transportation in the future. If not... Then I hope it doesn't look too bad." He closed his notebook and put it in his pocket, taking in some deep breaths.

He put on a beanie, a hoodie and an All Might mask, covering his whole head of hair, he does not need someone recognising him later. Because the stunt he's about to pull, was definitley, gonna gain some unwanted attention whether he likes it or not.

Izuku stepped closer to the ledge, heart beating a mile a minute.

'You can do this, you're All Might successor! Believe in yourself!'

'You won't be his successor anymore if this fails though...'

Izuku shook his head. He really hated his negativity sometimes. But this was not the time to be arguing with himself, he's got an appointment with destiny! Or the ER, depends on how this actually goes.

Izuku put both of his hands on the ledge, lifting himself into a handstand. Some passer-by finally took notice of him and was standing there, seeing how it goes. He was now standing on only his finger tips, some more people gathered around, thinking this was a performance of some kind. He stood on four of the head of his index and middle fingers, his equilibrium perfect in every way. He reluctantly lift up his other hand, now standing on only two of his fingers. The crowd that had formed was amazed, some even cheering for him, until they noticed that he was inching forward bit by bit.

Izuku let himself fall, the wind rushing to his ears and adrenaline pumping through his veins, making him deaf to all the cries of panic that came from the crowd and the civilians near by. As if on cue, his spider-sense kicked in and he quickly aimed one of his arms torwards a building, tapping his web-shooter with his middle and ring finger. A line of web shot out, sticking the mark and tensing. He hold on tight with both hands, hoping that this would work.

Then the pull of gravity hit Izuku, the view passing underneath him like a blur. It... It was exhilarating! Once his line reached it's maximum arch, he let go and began to flip through the air gracefully, the adrenaline kicked through again, making his screams of terror now full of whooping excitement.

"WOOOOHOOOOO! AHAHAHAHA! YEAAAAAAHHHHH!" The swinging boy cheered loudly, giving even Present Mic a run for his money.

Then his other hand shot out, sailing the boy through the air once again. Izuku never wanted this feeling to end, the rush of the wind, the feeling of gravity dragging him down, the webs pulling on him as he gains momentum, all of it. It was amazing! How did he ever live without this?!

Izuku was spinning around like a top as he reached closer to the ground but not close enough to hit it, he yanked on his web, muscles groaning at the strain, and pulled himself up. He spread his arms wide as he went flying again, taking in everything around him. The buildings, the walls, the water towers, all of the potential routes that he could possibly take.

Izuku finally returned from his own high, quickly sending out his webs again, running along side the wall as he turned into an alley and disappeared into the dark, vanishing from everyone's sight. Leaving the only evidence of him being there, a stunned crowd of spectators with a memory they would never forget soon, and the echoes of the boy's own excited yelling.

In reality, Izuku just slammed into the brick wall of the alley, not paying attention due to his eagerness to leave the area as quick as possible. The boy just groaned, either in amusement or pain, he himself didn't know. But he did know one thing. Today marks a new day, on his progress of becoming a hero, and he couldn't wait to see what the future had to offer.

The next day, news of the mysterious swinging person spread fast. Surprisingly, there were no actual video recordings, only a few blurry pictures of him flipping through the air and swinging down low on the ground. People on the internet quicky started debating, some saying that this was an upcoming hero performing a stunt, other says that this was a new vigilante on the street, even a small group of people saying that he's a villain... Nobody paid attention to them. Izuku was just thankful that neither his mom or All Might connected the dots.

When Izuku entered his class, the sounds of chattering didn't slow down, his enhanced senses picking up some of the words his classmates were saying, as he slowly walked by.

"Did you see the news recently? There was someone who jumped off the I-Centre the other day!"

"What?! Are they dead?!"

"Here's the fun part! That guy shot something out and swung away! Right before he hit the ground! Did a bunch of flips and everything!"

"Wouldn't that dislocate his arms? I'm not smart in Physics, but I'm pretty sure that's what supposed to happen. "

"Meh, probably his Quirk or something. You gotta admit though, that guy have balls of steel to even try that."

When Izuku finally sat down on his seat, he was internally smiling from ear to ear. Seeing his classmates comlimenting him, without even knowing that they were talking about Izuku himself, was very amusing. He hadn't have this much fun in class since... Well, since ever!

Izuku was as usual, writing in his notebook. That was until Katsuki entered the classroom, looking straight for the boy, eyeing dangerously at his hands. He was confused, terrified and curious all at the same time. He hadn't met his friend this weekend and they ended their meeting last Friday relatively well, considering it was Katsuki and all. So why is he looking like he wanted to strangle Izuku with his bare hands?

"OI DEKU! YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!" Katsuki rushed in and grabbed Izuku's shirt collar, pulling the boy in question out of the class, he was looking like a deer in headlights. They all winced, sure it was Deku but they couldn't help but feel bad for the guy.

"Kacchan! W-Where are we going?" Izuku frantically looked around. They were getting closer to the locker room now, nobody around to witness anything. He would've called out for Shinsou, but his friend was at home sick from a cold.

Izuku thought of the worst case scenarios. Maybe Katsuki was pretending when he was being nice, maybe all the things that happened were a dream and he fell into a coma after the spider bite, maybe Katsuki was waiting for Izuku to lower his guard and enact his plan. Whatever it was, he was still too terrified to do anything else but helplessly let the blond drag him away.

Katsuki noticed how the nerd was actually panicking bit by bit, as he pulled him closer to the locker room. It messed with something in his chest, it aches but... Not in the nice way. He felt aches before like when the Lizard reminded him of his memories with the nerd, they mostly made him sad, though he would die before he let everyone knows about it. This was different somehow, more... More painful. Was this... Guilt? But that was ridiculous! He wouldn't feel guilty for anyone!

Then Katsuki remembered, not that he forgot about them of course. He remembered all of his old friend's begging whenever he conered him after school, he remembered all the pain filled screams when he and his cronies were beating up the nerd, he remembered the nerd's tear filled face when he first used his Quirk on him. He remembered all the torment that he himself put his childhood friend through. Every. Single. One of them.

'Shit...' Katsuki thought when he finally entered the empty locker room and released his grasp on the green haired boy. Izuku was sweating more profusely the longer he was in there with Katsuki. His panicking was stopped from blowing sky high when the explosive blond finally spoke, breaking the tense silence.

"I'm not gonna do anything to you nerd! I just... Goddamn it, I just wanna ask something alright?!" Katsuki raged quietly, secretly relieved that the nerd appears to be calmer now. Fucking good.

Izuku silently thanked the god that was watching over him today. He did not, wanted to start crying in front of a potentially furious Katsuki. He knew how well that ended last time.

"Oh. O-Okay Kacchan."

Katsuki huffed and pulled out his phone, mind absently scolling to the thing he wanted to ask about while also comtemplating his previous actions in a new light.

'Why the fuck did I even do half of those things to the shitty Deku?! I mean, the little shit's infuriating but... When...?'

Katsuki knew that answer himself, he just didn't want to acknowledge it. It was that damned walk in the forest, it was the day that their friendship finally ended and their whole lives changed. Their new dynamic was made from fear, hatred and torment for the next ten years.

Katsuki just angrily scolled even faster, his patience going thin. He finally found the thing that he wanted and thrust his phone torwards the Deku's face.

"This guy's you ain't it Deku." Katsuki pointed at one of the blurry picture containing someone swinging pass at high speeds.

Izuku looked like he was caught stealing a cookie from the cookie jar, which is to say "red-handed". He chuckled nervously, confirming Katsuki's suspicion even more.

"Eheheh. H-How'd y-you know...?" Izuku finger guns at Katsuki, who's still unimpressed.

"Let me make something clear Deku. One more, FUCKING stunt like that. Then I'll end you so bad, YOU WON'T BE FUCKING ABLE TO GO TO THE ENTRANCE EXAM YOU HEAR ME?! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FUCKING DIE BEFORE I CAN CRUSH YOU AT U.A, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Katsuki screamed out as he shooked Izuku back and forth violently, disorienting the poor boy.

"Okay okay! I promised that I won't do that again! P-Please stop shaking me!" Izuku waved his hands frantically around, trying to find away out of Katsuki's grasp without touching the guy... It didn't work out very well.

"Tch. You better you damned Deku. Now stop panicking already and lets go, it smells like something died in here."

They both walked out in relative silence, that is until Katsuki spoke up again.

"How the fuck does your support thingies work anyways?" He grumbled grumpily.

Izuku still didn't believe what he was hearing, but he was too excited about talking to someone about all of his hard work. "Ah it's really simple Kacchan! My web-shooters work by..."

And the two walked off side by side, with Izuku rambling on and on about his equipment and ideas, and Katsuki was listening intently through all of them.

After two weeks of hanging out with both Shinsou and Katsuki, Izuku gained the courage to call Katsuki to a nearby park while he and his tired friend debated on something important.

"You know, you don't owe that guy an explanation right?" Shinsou asked his nerdy friend. He didn't approved on what Izuku was planning on doing and definitely, didn't approve of who he was telling that to.

"I know... But I think I need to do this. If not for him, then for myself. Just... Give him a chance." Izuku said simply. His childhood friend was definitely changing for the better now, he's still brash of course, he's Kacchan. But Izuku can see that he is taking an effort to change, though he doesn't know what even spurred this behaviour in his friend, someday he'll ask him about it, but... Not now.

Katsuki finally arrived after fifteen minutes of waiting, which to them felt like an hour.

"Alright, I'm fucking here you damned Deku." Katsuki noticed Shinsou and scowled.

"The fuck is Eyebags doing here?!"

"I'm here for moral support. So shut up."

"WHO DO YOU THINK YO-"

"Kacchan! Stop please! I just wanna talk to you about something! Please don't fight with him!" Izuku screamed out almost frustrated. This was not helping his case with Shinsou.

"ARGH! Then get on with it already! Or I'll fuckin-"

"Okay! I'm getting to it! Just... Can you sit down with me just for a moment?" Izuku pointed to a nearby bench.

Katsuki just sighed and grunted. He'd have half a mind to decline the nerd's offer when he first asked him to meet up. But then again, he's trying to be "nicer" or whatever bullshit people talk about, so he decided to accept it, which he is regretting severely now.

They walked torwards the bench in question, leaving Shinsou standing underneath a tree alone, watching guard over Izuku in case anything happens.

"Okay now spill. The fuck you wanted to tell me about so bad, that you brought Eyebags over there." Katsuki leveled a questioning glare torward Izuku.

"I-I... Haven't been entirely truthful with you Kacchan, I'm sorry. There's... There's something I want to tell you about my Quirk..."

Izuku noticed Katsuki's raised eyebrow and continued.

"I'm not actually a late bloomer. My Quirk... It's actuall very hard to explain, but to come to a simple explanation... It was given to me by a spider."

Katsuki's reaction was an expected one. "What the fuck do you mean 'given to you by a spider'?! Do you seriously think that I-" He was cut off from raging anymore when Izuku put a hand on his shoulder, looked at him straight into his eyes and gave him a pleading look.

"I know that you don't believe me, I didn't believe myself either when it happened, but it's the truth. On the day we went on that field trip, a spider bit into my hand, it was nauseating and it gave me a splitting headache, but when I woke up again, I gained powers! You know how one of them were notified to have disappeared right?"

Katsuki does infact remember that. After they were done with the tour, the centre closed down for a while to 'look for something important'. But what Deku was telling him was absolutely ridiculous! There is no Quirk out there, even if it was a Quirked Animal, that could give people powers!

"Yeah I do. But do you really expect me to believe that bullshit?! Nothing in the world can give people powers!"

'Oh if only you knew...'

"I don't expect you to believe me that easily. But please just consider what I said. I can even show you the scar of the bite if you want." Izuku raised the back of his hand for Katsuki to see. There were actually two large, pale scars near each other, it was almost like... Pincers of a spider... Okay fine, maybe the nerd was telling the truth, but he wasn't about take his word for it, he's not an idiot.

"Fine. Let's pretend that everything you just said was the truth. Why the fuck are you even telling me this? What the fuck does this gains you?" Katsuki asked gruffly.

Izuku thought about it. There's a lot of factor in his decision. He felt like Katsuki deserved at least this, he felt like this was an important thing for him to do. But the truth is...

"I... I just want my friend back, always have... I know that you don't like me, I know that you've hated me since the day we were five... But I just want everything to go back to what it was. I want us to hangout again, I want us to able to talk to each other without you hating everysingle moment of it, I want us to be heroes together... I know that it's irrational for me to expect it to happen, but that's the way I am... I always thought that maybe if I had a Quirk, you'd be my friend again, that you'd finally forgive me for whatever I've done in the past. And when I gained this, it seems almost possible..." Izuku said sadly, a small sad smile graced his face, while tears flow steadily down it. His breathing hitched while his hands were clutching tightly at his shirt, trying his best to not fully burst out sobbing at any moment.

Katsuki was shaken. This was what the nerd's been thinking the whole time?! Even through all of what he's done, even through all of what the nerd has been put through, by Katsuki's own hands no less. And he wants him to be his friend?!

"Why. WHY?! WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR FRIEND?! I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT AN ASSHOLE TO YOU! I'VE PUT YOU THROUGH HELL AND BACK! I'VE BEEN YOUR WAKING NIGHTMARE FOR TEN. YEARS! YOU JUMP AT MY VOICE, YOU FLINCH WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR, YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED WHENEVER I LOOK AT YOU! SO WHY, WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL MIGHT DON'T YOU HATE ME?! WHAT HAVE I EVEN DONE TO DESERVE YOU AS A FRIEND?!" Katsuki screamed in frustration, not caring one bit that Shinsou was standing nearby and probably heard what he just said.

Izuku just looked at him again, tears still streaming down like a river and gave Katsuki a soft smile, like the answer was simple to him.

"Because you've made an effort to change... And that's what important to me. All the things that you've done to me hurt Kacchan, that I can't argue with you. But I think that everyone should deserve a second chance if they showed that they regretted what they did and changed themselves for the better... I don't know if it'll ever be the same again, I don't know if our friendship would last, but I do know this... You'll always be my friend no matter what and I believe that you'll be the greatest hero the world has to offer." Izuku hugged his childhood friend, getting alarmed looks from Shinsou and a shocked expression on Katsuki's face.

Shinsou was even more alarmed when Bakugou was seen shaking. He almost rushed in, but the sight of the explosive blond, returning the hug stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Fucking damn it Deku... I'm so sorry..." Katsuki's voice breaks as he cried while scowling. He hugged the boy as tight as he possibly can without hurting him, his regret flowing through every drop of tear as he wondered how someone can be so kind, so forgiving to him of all people.

'You don't deserve this.'

'I know...'

'You don't deserve his forgiveness.'

'I know.'

'You don't deserve his friendship.'

'I FUCKING KNOW!'

As Izuku began smiling again, crying tears of joy at Katsuki, the explosive blond thought one final determined thought.

'But I'll be DAMNED, if I ever make that mistake again.'

The two boys just sat there, holding onto each other like all those times ago, like they would disappear the moment they let go of each other, with another boy standing close to them with a proud smirk displayed on his face. His friend is going to be a great hero, this is just more proof of it.

Chapter Text

Ten months have officially passed by for Izuku and he has to admit, it has been the best ten months of his entire life. He and Kacchan has reconsiled... Somewhat, it's not perfect and they definitely have to work on it a lot more, but he was happy that he finally got his friend back after all this time. But today was not the day to relive that particular memory! Today was the day of the U.A entrance exam and his final day of training!

That morning, Izuku pushed through all of his roaring muscles and cleaned the rest of the garbage on the beach, it was hard even with his super strength, but he managed to do it just in time for All Might to arrive to hear his own triumphant roar.

To say All Might was proud would be an understatement, the bo- no, his successor, has surpassed all of his expectations for him. He has definitely gained enough muscles and more, to be able to handle One For All without completely breaking his body. He really has chosen the right kid... He wonders if Nana would agree with him...

He shooked his head out of his somber thoughts, he needed to congratulate his boy and properly give him his reward!

"Young Midoriya. You have certainly made extreme progress on your training! Look at the beach now! There isn't even a speck of garbage left! Your determination knows no bound, and you've certainly become a suitable host for my Quirk!" All Might, now in his hero form, congratulated the boy enthusiastically.

"T-Thank you All Might! I just... It kinda feels like this is cheating you know? I mean... You've done so much for me, to get me here and I... Feel like I got lucky to have met you when I did..." Izuku said while sniffling a little bit.

"Look here Young Midoriya! I was once told this myself, but the quality, of someone who fought tooth and nail to get to where they are and those who earned it by luck is a major one. Take that to heart wherever you go. This power is what you yourself have earned." All Might pat the boy's back in a fatherly manner.

"I know All Might, thank you for that..." Izuku said happily, but on the inside, he was still conflicted.

'If I use All Might's power at the entrance exam when I've already been given one myself, it's really unfair to all those other examinee who came. So maybe...' Izuku came up with a decision, he doesn't know if it was a good one, but there's only one way to find out.

"Hey All Might? What if I..."

Few hours later.

'I made it!' Izuku thought as he arrived at the famous U.A gate. The pictures didn't do it any justice, it was huge! The whole way down to the entrance exam hall, he can clearly see that the building was bigger than anything that he has ever seen! It was a magnificient sight! Izuku would've taken some pictures if he wasn't worried about some other stuff right now.

'I hope I made the right choice. If not, it would be really embarrassing if I fail...' Izuku thought as he took a deep breath and began to walk torwards the building, nervously sweating with every step he takes. That is until...

"Oi Deku. Where were you? I've been standing here for like five minutes you dumbass." Katsuki grumbled angrily, making his appearance known.

"Hey Pomeranian. Knock knock."

"WHO THE FU-" Katsuki eyes turn blank, signalling to Izuku to his other friend.

"Shinsou, do you really have to do that? He wasn't even yelling at me!" Izuku scolded Shinsou, though it wasn't very effective, only making his friend's smirk wider.

"Nope. But the look on his face gets me everytime." Shinsou chuckled while releasing his hold on the blond.

Katsuki just turned around and glared at the purple haired insomniac, boring holes into his head.

"You're lucky we're at U.A right now Eyebags, or else I would've kill you for that." Katsuki growled out, putting on his signature scowl. Shinsou wasn't impressed and just rolled his eyes.

Izuku decided to intervene. "Okay guys, stop fighting for a little bit. We're here at U.A! We're finally gonna get the chance to become heroes!" He said excitedly, trying to distract Katsuki from his rage.

"Fuck yeah! I'm gonna show them who's the real boss at the entrance exam! I'll destroy anything that they throw in my way!" Katsuki punched his own palm, setting off a small explosion and causing everyone to look at him in recognition.

"Hey isn't that the Bakugou guy from the news?"

"Yeah and he's going to U.A? Damn dude, I hope I'm not going against him."

"Do you think that 'other' dude is going here too? You know, the one who ran in?"

"Probably. Wish there was a photograph of him to indentify though. He's cool."

Katsuki just scoffed while Izuku had a light blush on his face, he's still isn't used to people talking about him. Shinsou just has an amused look on his face.

"Okay, okay, move on then you mini celebrities. Let's go in or we'll be late for the test."

"Ah! Right! Come one guys let's g-" Before Izuku can finish, he tripped on his own two feet trying to rush in... For a guy who has the abilities of a spider, he's really clumsy.

Izuku was preparing to right himself before he hit the ground when his center of gravity disappeared. He was actually floating above the ground now, spinning as he used too much force. He would've panicked if not for a suddenly high pitched but soft voice talking to him.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't know you were about to do that! Here, let me..." A girl with brown hair, big round eyes and soft round face adjusted Izuku down to the ground and put her fingertips together.

"It's my Quirk. Sorry that I used it on you, but it would've been bad luck if you fell right?" The girl gave him a bright smile, causing Izuku to blush even more at the sight of a girl. Katsuki and Shinsou was just standing there to see what their friend would do with amused look on both of their faces.

"Today's making me so nervous! Good luck to the both of us then, bye!" She waved her hand and walked off. Leaving Izuku standing in awe.

'I actually talked to a girl!' Izuku yelled in his mind.

Like he had read his thoughts, Katsuki called out to his friend. "You didn't speak a single word dumbass. Now get your mind out of the gutter and focus, I ain't letting you live it down if you failed the test because your dick was too hard for you to function."

That got an uproarious laugh from Shinsou and some sputters of embarrassment from Izuku, who was telling his friends that it wasn't like that at all but to no avail. All of them walked in together, pumped for the upcoming test that would decide their entire future.

The hero course exam orientation was a lot fuller than what they were expecting it to be. The room was bigger than the gymnasium at their middle school! They all went together to their seats, with Izuku sitting in the middle of his two friends to prevent them from mudering each other.

The lights then came on, the screen in front of them then lit up, revealing the golden U.A logo in all it's glory, a voice of a man then made himself known.

"Welcome to the live performance of yours truly examinees! Everybody say, "hey!" !" The man, revealing himself as the pro Hero, Present Mic called out cheerfully.

The room was dead silent. Everybody felt bad about not answering the man, but they were too anxious to be the first one to call out.

"That's kinda cold listeners! To all the examinees out here today, I'll be the one to give you a quick rundown of the practical exam before we get to the written exam. ARE YOU READY? YEAAAH!" Present Mic yelled out again, not gaining any reactions from the crowd. Except for a certain green haired boy.

"Oh my god it's Present Mic! The Voice Hero! He has a radio show that I listen to every week! I knew the teachers here are all pro Heroes but this is amazing!" Izuku fanboyed, sparkles coming from his eyes.

"Shut up Deku And pay attention." Katsuki said with an impassive voice and face.

Present Mic then proceeded to go to all the nitty bitty details. They'll have a ten minute mock battle in a city from their testing site, they can bring anything to help them which was great news to Izuku, who brought his own trusty pair of web-shooters. Shinsou brought a bo staff and Katsuki brought nothing because he's Katsuki. The only thing that they were sad about is they won't be in same site as each other.

"It sucks that they don't let people from the same school in the same site. Though if it did happen, I'll probably crush any chances that you have of even entering U.A." Katsuki jabbed his thumb torwards Shinsou with a cocky smirk.

Shinsou just rolled his eyes again, gave him a cocky smile in return and didn't say anything else.

They were also informed of three types villain bots that have three separate points assigned to each of them. There were the one-pointers, two-pointers and three-pointers, though there was a fourth one on the pamphlet that they gave to each of the examinees... He's probably getting to it, best to wait and see what he says.

"I have a question!"

Everyone turned to look at the boy who called out, even a spotlight was shined on him.

"On the printout you gave us, there are FOUR villain types! If it's a mistake then it'll be a great shame on Japan's best school! Aren't we examinees here to be taught by exmplary heroes?" The boy as they can see him clearly now, he has dark blue hair and had a very serious look on his face. his body was stiff and every movement he made was jerky. To be honest, Izuku thought that he might be a robot based on how he acts.

"Jeez, is there a stick up his ass?" Shinsou muttered inaudibly.

"And you! Curly haired boy!" He pointed straight to Izuku... Well shit.

"What about me?" Izuku asked awkwardly.

"Your endless muttering is disrupting everyone! If you're here just for fun, then I suggest you leave now." The boy said sternly.

"... Well that's rude of you." Izuku blurted out, he doesn't know what else to say in a situation like this. He turned and looked at everyone. "I don't see anyone else saying anything about my mutterings, and if it bothered you that much, you could've just asked nicely. Also, don't just assume what people's intentions are, it's impolite to accuse someone of doing something you know." It took Izuku three seconds to realize that he said that out loud, causing everyone to snicker, but apparently not at Izuku, but at the boy.

"Okay, okay. No need to argue! And examinee number 7111, he's right you know. Also, the fourth one is worth zero points. Basically, it's there to cause a ruckus, no need to destroy it. Just avoid it if you can listeners!" Present Mic said cheerfully, it's a bit unprofessional of him to agree with the other boy, but he couldn't help but defend one of his son's only friend!

"I see! Thank you and please excuse me for my actions!" The boy bowed a perfect ninety degrees angle. He sat down but not before giving Izuku another look.

"If that bastard is in my site, I'll be destroying every single robot there so that bastard can't even get a point. I fucking hate him." Katsuki growled out, glaring at the boy in question.

"You and me both buddy." Shinsou stated, also glaring at the boy

"It's okay Kacchan, Shinsou, he's just nervous that's all. But seriously though, try not to destroy every robot, I want to actually have potential classmates." Izuku finished with a joke, causing a rare soft smile to appear onto Katsuki's face.

"Yeah whatever nerd."

"Now everyone! Before we can begin the written exam, let's all shout out our school famous motto alright?! ONE! TWO! THREE!"

"PLUS ULTRA!" A chorus of students yelled out

"Alright! Then let's break a leg everyone!"

After all was said and done, they were herded to their destinated testing site, but luckily, Izuku managed to wish his friends good luck. Katsuki huffed and mumble something about 'you too...' and Shinsou politely returned the gesture.

He was getting off the bus now, his web-shooters tightly equipped on his arms, some extra web-cartridges on his belt pocket, he was wearing just a normal green tracksuit, nothing too special. All in all, he felt like he can do this pretty decently.

Izuku took a good look at his other examinees, many of them were wearing specialized gear, one seeimg to have a full on hero suit with bright yellow colors. He grimaced at how many of them were also wearing some type of homemade hero suit as well. Seriously, are those really necessary? He was stopped from thinking about their horrible sense of fashion when he spotted a familiar girl standing nervously among the crowd.

'Hey! She's that nice girl at the school gate! We're at the same centre? I need to thank her for earlier then!' Izuku started to walk torward the girl when suddenly, a hand clamped down on his shoulder, gaining his attention.

'Oh god he's here too?' Izuku looked almost annoyed when he saw the boy from earlier staring down at him fiercely.

"That girl is concentrating. Who are you to interrupt her? Are you here to sabotage us?" He asked with a straight face, causing Izuku to snort at his expression.

"Oh god that face of yours is too funny! How can you even say that with a straight face? And no, I'm not here to 'sabotage' anyone. She helped me from falling earlier so I wanted to give her my thanks. Seriously dude, don't just assume things, people will think I'm a menace or something like that." Izuku said casually with a small wave of his hand.

The boy seems shocked that he would respond to him. "I... See. My apologies fellow examinee, it appears that I was wrong about you. Will you forgive me?" He bowed a perfect ninety degrees again.

"Yeah, no problem dude. It's just nerves. Anyways, good luck and see you around!" Izuku walked off, the boy still bowing after him.

'Strange guy... But he seems nice.' Izuku thought as the voice of Present Mic called out.

"Okay start!"

The whole crowd was silent, nobody knew what was going on, except Izuku who already started to zip-off with his web-shooters when Present Mic said 'start', along with a few others.

"What? Life doesn't have countdowns! Follow the example of those guys and run, run! There's no going back now!" Present Mic said with energy while poiting torwards the entrance to the city.

Everybody in the vicinity hauled ass to try to catch up with the few in the lead, hoping to not miss out on any points.

Izuku was just happy to be able to swing around again like he did. Something about it just makes him feel... Alive. Everything about it just... Makes it fun to be in the air, to swing around objects, to feel the rush of adrenaline every time he dive-bombs down to the ground, to feel the fresh air enter his lungs with every breath he takes, to feel the wind rushing past his face with every excited yell, to feel his arm pull on the web and sending him flying, to feel... Free. He wonders briefly if this is how it feels like to fly, but dismissed it completely. This... This is different. This is something that nobody in the world can experience like he does and Izuku... Izuku feels proud of that fact.

Everyone else was in awe at how the boy was acting, some even recognising him as that mysterious person a few months back.

"Holy crap! Look at that dude go!"

"Is he a gymnast or something?! How can he even do that?!"

"Man, that looks amazing!"

"You know, I know we're supposed to be competing for points and all, but I can't help but root for him. I mean, look at him!"

Izuku didn't care for what any of them were saying, he was on a full-blown high. Well, until he saw his first robot that is. He swung down at high speeds, readying his fist back.

'Okay, you can do this Izuku! Prove to All Might that you deserve his power!' Izuku roared out and with a single punch, he decimated the One-pointer, punching it through a nearby wall.

Izuku laughed and channeled his inner Kacchan. "Ahahahaha! Come on then you pile of rust buckets! Let's tango!" Then he charged torwards another group of robots, leaving behind a stunned audience at his display of power.

'This is fun...' Izuku thought as he tears open a Three-pointer.

Everyone else decided to get away from the green haired boy's path, lest they won't gain any points otherwise.

All Might, now in his civilian form, Toshinor Yagi, was still conflicted about his successor's decision that morning.

"You want me to what?" All Might asked, confused on what the boy was saying to him.

"I... Want you to hold off on giving me your Quirk. I know it sound silly, but let me explain. I want to be able to show everyone that I can get into U.A with my skills, I want everyone to see that it isn't always about who has the most powerful Quirk, I want to able to pass the exam being me and not your successor. So... If you can hold off on giving me your Quirk. maybe until after I pass the entrance exam, so that I can properly show to you that I deserve it on my own two feet." Izuku looked up at All Might with a mixture of a determined and pleading look that he just couldn't disagree to.

'I hope you made the right choice Young Midoriya.' All Might thought as Present Mic announced the start of the practical exam.

He was relieved quite a bit when he spotted a bush of green hair swinging infront of a crowd, completely destroying a One-pointer.

He was definitely relieved when the boy tore through his tenth Three-pointer like butter, showing no signs of him stopping anytime soon.

'Yeah he's fine. No need to worry about him Toshinori.' All Might thought as he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Settling down in his seat among the teachers and wiping away some of the blood that spilled out his mouth with a tissue.

"Six minutes and two seconds left everyone!" Present Mic announced again. He sat down and drank a glass of water, rubbing at his throat.

"Hizashi, there's a microphone here, you don't need to use you Quirk everytime." Shouta Aizawa, the pro Hero, Eraserhead called out tiredly to the loud blond. In reality, he just wants his husband to quiet down so he can take a nap without Nedzu noticing.

"Awww, but where's the fun in that Shou? These kids have a once in a lifetime chance to hear me, Present Mic in the flesh! I ain't letting some cheap microphone ruin that for them!" He responded playfully, seeing Shouta groan loudly after that was very amusing to him.

"Yes, you're very right Mr. Yamada. Today is a very important day to them so, let's make it so they can enjoy it while it last!" A...mouse? A dog? A bear? We don't know, but importantly, he's the principal of U.A, Nedzu!

Yamada visibly paled as the manical rat talked to him casually. "Y-Yes sir! I'll do what I can!" He then scurried off and sat down next to Aizawa, almost hiding behind him.

Nedzu chuckled and continued. "As you can see, the location and number of the Villains are undisclosed during this practical exam. It helps to draw out he abilities we need in heroics like quickly gathering information, the mobility to respond to all kinds of situations and the ability to stay calm under harsh circumstances. Oh and pure combat ability also." He added cheerfully to the room.

"Hmm. This year's group looks promising."

"It's still early to decide though."

"What do you think Ms. Hatsume?" The hero, Powerloader called out to his pink haired student, who was writing furiously into a notebook. He had to call out her name a few more time before she even noticed him.

"Hm? I don't know, I'm having too many ideas for my new babies to talk to you!" She said while focusing her attention back to her notes, scribbling some new words onto the already full page.

Powerloader just sighed. His first recommendation Support student in a decade and it just had to be a workaholic. He was allowed to bring her to observe the potential hero candidates and help her come up with some support gear that would allow for them to utilise their Quirk better, but it seems his that help wasn't needed.

"No worries Mr. MaiJima, I know exactly how to get her attention, it's about time to do it anyways. Now," Nedzu pushed a big red button. "Let's see how our future heroes react to this!" His maniacal laughter rang out over the whole room, scaring all of his employees shitless, except for Aizawa and All Might.

Izuku was pretty happy with how he was currently doing, he got a decent amount of points, fifty-seven points to be exact. He would've gotten more if he hadn't help out some of the examinees that were having some trouble but meh, he could care less about that.

Izuku was taking a break from all the destruction when his spider-sense almost gave him a migraine as it rung out in his head. The ground beneath him shook and the hair on his neck was tingling profusely. What the heck was going on?!

Suddenly, an explosion of dust erupted from the ground, alarming every other examinee in the area, every windows on a nearby building cracked and exploded from the sheer size of the thing that just appeared. Izuku looked up to see an enormous robot, towering over the buildings, staring down at them like they were a bunch of ants. It crushed the top of a building with one hand, sending debris flying everywhere.

'IS THAT THE ZERO-POINTER?! I KNOW THIS IS U.A BUT WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!' Izuku thought while blocking the massive dust cloud the fake villain made when it punched the ground, sending some of the applicants flying from the air pressure.

Everyone ran away screaming from the sight of the gigantic machine, doing their hardest to get away from the robot. Izuku even spotted the boy from earlier, also running away from the monstrosity, he glanced at Izuku for a bit before continuing to run away.

"Yeah nope. I definitely can't beat this thing even if I tried to! I'll have to run away and get some people to saf-"

"Three minutes left listeners!"

'Okay I get it!' Izuku thought irritably, while webbing up some of the falling the debris before they got the chance to hit other people.

'Seriously, it can't get any worse than thi-'

"Ouch!'

Izuku stopped dead in his tracks and turned around.

'It's... It's the nice girl from earlier!' He thought in a panic. Her leg was pinned under some debris, the robot villain was getting closer to her, it's hand preparing to rush down again.

'Crap! Crap, crap, crap! It's gonna come down and crush her! I have to do something! I have to...' Izuku mind then came up with an insane idea, one that would probably get himself killed in the progress, but he needed to save her! Quickly!

Against everyone's better judgement, Izuku rushed in to the cloud of dust as the hand went down, drowning out everything but the frightful screams of the other applicants.

Everyone in the monitoring area was in a full-on panic. They've just seen two examinees getting crushed under the hand of the fake villain! They were now currently begging Nedzu to stop the exam.

"Nedzu! For christ sake! Turn off that zero-pointer! Those two are gonna die!" Yamada was the one to actually yelled out.

"Don't you worry my wonderful employees! Everything is according to plan." Nedzu smiled a sickening sweet smile, making Yamada even angrier.

"According to plan? ACCORDING TO PLAN?! ARE YOU SAYING THE DEATH OF TWO CHILDREN ARE ALL PART OF YOUR TWISTED PLAN?!" Yamada yelled out, angrier then he has ever been in his life.

"Ohoho? Who says that they're dead?" Nedzu said, still smiling while pressing some other button, revealing a street view of that particular area.

"What are you saying?! We just saw them get crushed by that thing! How can they not be de-" Yamada was cut off yelling any further by his husband's capture weapon.

"Shouta?! What are you doin-?!" More of the scarf wrapped around his mouth, making him unable to speak. He looked at Shouta with an almost hurt expression, that is until he pointed at the screen, causing Hizashi to gape his mouth wide from what he was seeing.

Everyone in the room was in disbelief! Except All Might, who was beaming. This shouldn't be possible! There was no actual way that this was real live footage from the area! There is no way that this boy could possibly be doing that, of all things! It was just... Impossible!

Ochako Uraraka closed her eyes tightly, awaiting the inevitable hand that was coming down to crush her... But it never came? She was confused now. Did the test stop? Was the exam over?

'No, Present Mic said there were three minutes left. So how am I..." Her questions were answered when she heard loud metal groaning from on top of her, along with some exhausted and painful grunting of someone else.

Uraraka looked up and was gaping her mouth from the sight that greeted her.

Izuku knew that this was the worse idea that he could've done in his entire life, but this was all he could think of okay?

He was currently holding up the gigantic arm of the robot with his bare hands, a dent forming in the middle of it's palm. His muscles were screaming at him to let go, his head was pounding in pain with every movement he makes, his eyes were starting to blackout from the strain, every fiber of his being begging him to stop. It should be too much for him. It might be too much for him to handle. But he stayed strong. He steadied himself once more and pushed again, causing the robot's mechanisms to groan out loudly. The sound vibrated in his own head, making the strain even more unbearable than before, but he wasn't about give up just yet. He needed to help that nice girl first.

'Based on the sheer size and length of this freaking thing, I must be holding up about twenty freaking tons! Why was U.A making these things?!' Izuku thought angrily before looking back at the shell-shocked girl, who still wasn't quite believing what she was seeing.

Izuku gave her a shaky smile. "D-Don't mind me! Oof. J-Just a friendly neighborhood examinee, swinging by!" He winced as the robot put some more force down, causing him to kneel down on the ground on one knee.

"O-Okay, I can't hold this for long, can you move?" Izuku said shakily, his head spinning more and more as he holds on.

Uraraka snapped out her shock, she looked down to her foot to see that the wind pressure has blown some of the stuff that was pinning her down. Her foot looked sprained but compared to what the other boy was probably going through, she told herself to push through it.

When Izuku saw her nod, he breathed a sigh of relief, which was a bad idea as the robot pushed down even more so than before. He screamed out in pain, everything was going dark, his head was spinning like crazy, every muscle in his body begging him to let go. But he has to hold on! So with another deep breath, he yelled out to the machine.

"STOP PUSHING DOWN DAMNIT! I SWEAR IF I CAN GET MY HAND ON-" Then something strange happened, something that he still felt was weird even for his standards

A trail of powerful birght green electricity, flowed down the length of his arms and into the hand of the robot. It stopped pushing him down, giving him the chance to take in some deep breaths. Nothing happened for a moment... Until he starts hearing electricity crackling on the inside of the arm. Sensing that, it was probably not a good sign, he used that window of opportunity to grab the nice girl by his webs, pulling her torwards him into a bridal style carry, and booked it out of there with his full speed.

It seems that it was the right choice to make, as the robot's hand blew up, startling the boy and causing him to stumble, losing the girl from his grip. He was too tired by now to do anything else, so he closed his eyes and waited for the impact... It didn't came. He was confused for a moment until he remembered who he was holding before.

"R-Release!" Uraraka said shakily, releasing her Quirk on both Izuku and herself. Falling gently down to the ground, where she proceeded to vomit her whole breakfast out. Izuku, with one final shaky smile, gave her a thumbs up, and fell unconscious. Not knowing what he just did, had been seared into the other examinees memories.

Everyone in the monitoring area still wasn't believing what they just saw.

The boy, who easily destroyed many of the Villain bots in his area, held up the Zero-pointer's arm by himself, and in the process saved another person from certain doom.

"H-How can he even do that?!" Present Mic questioned shakily.

"It's his Quirk." Nedzu answered simply, reveling in all the shocked looks his employees were giving the boy.

"Ectoplasm, may you please alert Recovery Girl to that site?" The chimera said politely, the hero in question didn't say anything else but only nodded and sent out one of his clones.

"What's his Quirk anyways? Is it some sort of enhancer?" Vlad King questioned, curious as to how the boy managed to even withstand that much weight.

Nedzy pressed another button, revealing the boy's file for the whole room to see.

Name: Izuku Midoriya

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Quirk: Spider

Description:

Izuku can do whatever a spider can. His abilities includes super human strength that is proportionate to a spider's, the ability to cling on to most surfaces like walls, ceilings, windows, etc. Letting him crawl around or even run upon the aforementioned items. He also exhibited some kind of sixth-sense that can alarm him of nearby dangers, giving him faster reflexes than most human can achieve, he calls this his "Spider-Sense". His agility is astounding, letting him do things that he couldn't have done before. He is very flexible, allowing himself to do splits, putting his legs behind his head, and basically give him more chances of dodging objects that most people can't even do. There is also the ability to camoflauge himself to near perfect invisibility. There are signs of him having some sort of regenerative healing ability but so far, there are no tests conducted on that.

Although all of his abilities are amazing, if he exerts himself too much, he will need to recharge frequently with some sleep and eat a lot of food to prevent total exhaustion.

The whole teaching staff was staring at the boy's file in awe. Except for Aizawa, who was narrowing his eyes at some missing information.

"Why is there no information about the boy's web? We can clearly see him using them for the whole exam." Aizawa asked gruffly, his tired eyes burrowing together in a scowl.

"Ah yes. Sadly, his Quirk doesn't allow for him to produce his own web from his body. But, he did submit a pair of support gear that can help with that." Nedzu pulled up another picture, this time depicting some kind of device.

"Those are the "Web-shooters" as he calls them, it's design is very intricate and apparently, the chemical compound or the "web fluid" is stronger than steel, giving even strength Quirk users a hard time to get out of it. It can hold his weight and more, even shooting it out in different modes. It also dissolves after an hour or so." Nedzu listed off simply, intriguing Powerload and snapping Hatsume out of her furious scribbling.

"You mean to tell me." she closed her notebook, a strange glint was seen in her yellow crosshair eyes. "He made." Everyone in the room can see her vibrating, but from what, they do not know. "THE PERFECT ADHESIVE FOR MY BABIES?!" Hatsume yelled out like it was the best thing that she could've heard, her manic grin can be clearly seen by everyone.

Poweloader shivered at his student's expression, he did not like where this is going. Nedzu on the other hand, just kept smiling.

"Yes Ms. Hatsume, that is what you can intepret from my words."

"I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON HIS BABIES! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I CAN DO TO IMPROVE UPON IT! DO YOU HAVE HIS BLUEPRINTS?! HIS HEALTH DATA? HIS HOME ADDRESS?!" She asked excitedy, her crosshaired eyes zooming in delight at all the possibilities.

"Unfortunately, we can't give out that kind of personal information. You'll just have to ask him about it yourself, if he makes it in of course!" Nedzu said, way too cheerfully for anyone's liking.

That seems to have been the right choice as the pink haired girl just smiled even harder, nodded, and went back to her notebook, sketching something that looks almost like the device on screen.

The remainder of the teachers didn't know what else to do but pray for the safety of the poor boy in the future. All Might was also slighty concerned but his mind was focusing on other stuff right now.

'I know that you wanted to prove yourself to me... But what the heck Young Midoriya?! This is too much!' All Might thought with a chuckle, still, he was proud of what his successor had done, he showed true heroism today, and if it all goes according to plan, he would officially be crowned with One For All in the coming week.

After Izuku woke up in the nurse's office, fanboyed over Recovery Girl, and got scolded for making his headache worse, he was finally allowed to go home.

"Now make sure you don't do anything that requires you to overexert yourself too much, don't want you to be sick when your letter arrives ey?" Recovery Girl chided playfully.

"Y-Yes ma'am! Thank you for taking care of me!" Izuku bowed politely, still a bit nervous on actually meeting the famous Recovery Girl.

"It's alright sunny. Now shoo! I have some paperwork to be done." She waved him goodbye and closed the door.

"That was fun... WAIT! KACCHAN! SHINSOU!" Izuku frantically ran off, only now realizing that his friends might be waiting for him.

When he arrives at the gate, Shinsou had an impatient look on his face and Kacchan... He was definitely not looking happy.

"OI DEKU! Where the fuck have you been?! I have been dealing with Eyebags over here for thirty minutes!"

"Standing next to you ain't so good either pal. But seriously, where were you?" Shinsou's face morphed into a look of concern.

"I-Im fine guys! It's okay really, I was just in the nurse's office for a bit. No need to worry!" Izuku dismissed his friend's concern over him. Truthfully, he was really tired and just wanted to go home, eat some food, and fall asleep for the rest of the day.

"EH?! Why the fuck were you in the damned infirmary in the first place?! The fake villains were too much for you?!" Katsuki growled out, his scowl still ever so present on his face.

Izuku eyes widened a little bit, but he composed himself quickyly. Though not quick enough for Shinsou, who was narrowing his eyes in supspicion.

"Midoriya. Midoriya, what did you do?" Shinsou asked sternly, leaving no room for bargaining.

Izuku didn't answer. Instead, he relied on one of his super effective evasive maneuver! Speed walking by without making any eye contact! It would've worked splendidly, if Kacchan hadn't grabbed his shirt collar as he tried to push through.

"Deku. What the fuck did you do and I swear to god if you don't tell me in ten seconds, I'll beat it right out of you." Katsuki towered menacingly over the boy, getting a few terrified squeaks from Izuku.

"Okay! O-Okay! I... I just encountered the Zero-pointer! That's all!" Izuku said quickly with an awkward laugh, trying to push pass his two friends again but to no avail.

"Deku/Midoriya." Both of them said at once, their tone of voice signifying to Izuku that he wasn't gonna get out of this one that easily.

"W-Well... I might have... Ya know...Rushed in and prevented the Zero-pointer from crushing me and another examinee... With my bare hands?"

That day, there was a sight of a boy hauling ass out of U.A in terror, followed by two other kids, one blasting explosions behind him and one readying to hurl some kind of bo staff at the other boy's head, both of them screaming every curse word imaginable and something about the boy's recklessness while giving chase down the road.

Chapter Text

After getting thoroughly chewed out by both of his friends, Izuku returned home feeling embarrassed, tired, sweaty, but still proud of himself for doing what he did when he got the chance. He would've like to know how the nice girl was doing, but then he'd be considered a creep for checking on a girl that he didn't even know the name of, so he just didn't gain the courage to ask anyone about that.

Izuku sighed happily as he opened the door to his home, the familiar scent of his mom's cooking filling his nostrils, making him drool and realize how hungry he actually was.

"Hi Mom! I'm home! What are you making?" Izuku asked excitedly, pulling off his backpack and settling down onto their living room couch, almost falling asleep at how comfortable it felt. God was he exhausted, remind him to not lift up something a hundred times his weight in the near future.

Inko poked her head out of the kitchen, a bright smile gracing her face as she saw her son's return.

"Hello dear! I'm glad you're home safe. And I'm just whipping up something to congratulate you for your hardwork today." Inko said while returning her attention back to what she was cooking, adding some more spices into the already delicious food, somehow making it smell even more heavenly than before.

Izuku couldn't help but ask. " God that smells good! What is that?!" Izuku stood on his tired legs and began walking torwards the kitchen, eager to find out what his mom was cooking. He squealed in glee when he saw that she was making some kind of Katsudon.

Inko giggled at her son's sudden enthusiasm. "It's a special recipe that your grandmother used to make for me as a kid, I tweaked it a little bit, considering how you like to eat spicy food." She grabbed a bowl and began to put it all together.

Izuku just drooled even more, it looked like a meal that you would see in a five-star restaurant! His mom couldn't have put the bowl down for more than three seconds before Izuku started reaching for his chopstick and digged in happily.

"Thank you for the meal!" Izuku said with a mouthful of food, letting out a satisfied groan at how good it tasted on his tounge.

Inko just smiled even brighter. "You deserved it Izuku, after all the hardwork you've done to get to where you are. I haven't seen you that happy for a while now... I'm glad that you're taking better care of youself when I couldn't be there for you Izuku. Oh I'm so proud of you!" Inko hugged at her son tightly, her eyes getting a bit teary as she does.

Izuku looked at his mom and with a reassuring smile, hugged her back and comforted her. "It's okay Mom, you did everything could to help me the best you can. And I love you for that."

"I love you too dear." Inko responded, still sniffling.

Inko wiped her eyes for a bit, smile still present on her face. "Well, I'm gonna go make some tea now dear, and there's an extra bowl for you if you want more."

Izuku nodded enthusiastically, still shoving more food into his already full mouth. Today was definitely one of the greater days in his life, and he hopes that this kind of thing would happen more often.

'I wonder how's eveybody else is doing...'

Katsuki Bakugou just wanted to go sleep, that's all he wanted, but did he? Noooo, his parents just had to pester him about how he did at the exam. Tch, like he didn't ace it and showed all the other extras who's boss like always.

"Oh I'm so happy for you son! You made us so proud!" His dad, Masaru Bakugou, cheered encouragingly. To be honest, he really liked it when his dad did that, but he would rather die than say it out loud.

"Yeah, whatever." Katsuki said, not looking any of his parents in the eye. God he was so tired, let him go already.

"What he said brat, also I got you something. You might like it." His mom, Mitsuki Bakugou, said with a smirk, confident in her gift.

Katsuki scoffed. "Yeah right, what the hell can you gi-" A box was dropped into his lap, stopping him from ranting any further.

It seems just like a typical present. a big red bow on top, some All Might themed wrapping paper, some holes on the outside... Wait what?

"The fuck is this shit? You didn't even bothered to get me a present without fucking holes in it or something?" He gave his parents an incredulous look, not even bothering to look inside said holes.

"Just open it Katsuki." Mitsuki said in exasperation.

"Tch. Fine ya old hag, after this I'm going to my roo..." Katsuki trailed off upon seeing what his parents gave him.

It was a goddamn fucking puppy, and not just any fucking puppy, it was a fucking Pomeranian. It's had the same ashen blonde color that he and his mom have. It's eyes were black, like the boba that he usually drinks. It's fur were also pretty puffy, almost like it had... Spiky hair... Okay seriously?! It yipped at Katsuki with a small bark, doing things to his heart that he fucking loved, though he wouldn't admit that just yet.

"Why the fuck, did you give me a fucking puppy?" Katsuki picked the little bastard up and eyed him. They both stared at each other silently, that is before the dog began to lick his face excitedly, ticlking him.

"Stop! Stop you damned bastard! Your fucking tounge smells like shit! I'll fucking kill you!" Katsuki said, supressing the smile that threatened to appear on his face. He pushed the dog away again, who was still wagging it's tail out of sheer happiness

'Shit... This thing is too fucking cute to kill.'

"So? Do you like him? If not, we could always return him..." Mitsuki said feigning ignorance, slowly reaching for the dog before Katsuki yanked him back.

"Who the fuck said anything about returning this bastard? You gave it to me so I fucking decide that shit." Katsuki eyed his mom with an angry glare, hugging the dog protectively to his chest, who was still trying to lick his face so it was very hard to keep his composure right now.

Mitsuki looked at her son, then at the dog, then at her husband who gave her a look of understanding and smiled, which in turn made her smile too.

"If you say so brat. Soooo, what are you gonna name him?" She asked eagerly with a shit-eating grin.

"None of your business!" Katsuki growled out, now holding the dog in his lap. He looked down, taking a clear look over the dog and came up with the perfect name for him.

"Your fucking name is now Bastard. You got that through your furry little ears?" Katsuki asked while looking at the dog with the seriousness that rivals a business man.

Bastard answered with another excited yip, his tail still wagging back and forth in happiness. It tried to lick Katsuki's face again, but was stopped with a boop to the nose, causing it to stumble over on the blond's lap with it legs in the air, panting quickly, while still looking expectantly at Katsuki with it's big round black eyes.

"Fine. C'mere you little shit."

And as Katsuki rubs his new friend's belly, letting a genuine smile grace his face. Mitsuki silently recorded his interaction, trying to not burst into tears at how happy her son look. Masaru was still chuckling at his son's choice for a name, he just hopes that this doesn't carry over when he names his own children one day.

Hitosh Shinsou was feeling really good about today if you ask him.

He did pretty well in the practical exam all things considered, destroying a decent amount of the fake villains, scoring about twenty points if his calculations were correct. He would've scored more if he didn't save some other examinees and some grape dude from getting absolutely wrecked by a robot that was sneaking up on him, but some of Midoriya's spirit rubbed off on him he guess.

His dads, just informed him that they were given the rest of the day off by both the school and their hero agencies today, and they plan on relaxing at home with him. So he was really excited about that too.

When Hitoshi opened the door to his house, the familiar meows of their three cats, Snowy, Scratchy, and Scroundrel greeted him. He smiled softly at them, then closed the door, took of his bags and laid down on the nearby couch, letting the three balls of fur rush torwards him. Despite the name, Scroundrel loved getting pats the most out of all three and Shinsou didn't deny him any of that. Snowy laid down calmly next to him, purring cutely near his ear. Scratchy as per usual, climbed up to his head, claws and all, and made his messy head of hair into a bed.

"Ouch. You know, if you weren't so cute, we'd have given you back by now." Hitoshi chuckled lightly, reaching up and petting said cat, who just meowed loudly in response.

"Yeah you're right." Shinsou began to close his eyes, cherishing the warmth of three cats and got readied for a nap. After a while, he started to drift into the land of unconsciousness, but before he can do that however...

"HEYA HITOSHI! WE'RE HO-" Hizashi Yamada was stopped from yelling any further by his husband's capture weapon, who was not dealing with his shit right now.

"Hizashi. I beg of you, stop using your damned Quirk when you enter our house. I'm building up a migraine everytime you do." Shouta Aizawa growled angrily, irritated at his husband's shenanigans.

"Oh c'mon! Hitoshi doesn't mind!"

"I do actually. Stop doing that." The boy deadpanned, annoyed at being interrupted during his nap.

Hizashi gasped dramatically. "Honestly, I came here to have a good time but I feel so attacked right now!" Hizashi exclaimed while resting a hand on his forehead, sprawling down into their living room floor, where three confused cats were now sitting.

"Good. Now stop it with the damned memes." Shouta grumbled, picking up Scroundrel and walking into the kitchen to get himself a jelly pouch. It's not like he doesn't understand them or anything like that, it just annoys the heck out of him that Hizashi just keeps using the same ones over and over again.

Hizashi pouted. "You guys are no fun at all. Only Scratchy appreciates my sense of humour, isn't that right?" He cooed at the cat, stroking it's head lightly, which is returned by a soft purring and an attempt to climb into his hair.

"Alright then you little rascal, up you go." Hizashi said happily, steadying a cat on his head while moving to sit on the couch with Hitoshi, who was still kinda miffed that he only has one cat now.

Hitoshi pouted at both of his dads. "I was having such a good time simulating death before you two came around and ruined it, now you even took my fur blanket. How am I suppose to function in these condition?!" He then acted like he was apalled, getting amused looks from both Hizashi and Shouta.

Hizashi cleared his throat before he kneeled on the floor, deciding to go along with his son. "My Lord, how can I, a humble jester ever be forgiven for such a heinous act!" He pretended to grovel, shaking his son's pant leg while trying to hold back his building laughter.

Shouta sighed, not partipating in their business and went back to his jelly pouch. Though he couldn't say that he didn't find their improvisation impressive.

Hitoshi tried his best to stiffle his oncoming giggle, emphasis on tried. But he composed himself quickly enough. "Ahem, you're quite right my jester, this act should call for your execution! But alas, I'm feeling quite merciful today, so I will allow for you to be forgiven. If, you tell me my scores for the exam that is." He gave his dad a hopeful look, before it turned into one of horror when his face turned sad.

Hizashi noticed his son's rising panic and frantically reassured him. "Hitoshi! It's not like that! We just haven't gotten to grading your site yet so we couldn't tell you even if we wanted right now! I'm so sorry!" He hugged the poor boy, hoping that this would calm him down a little bit. It kinda did, but he was still visbly distressed.

Shouta, after seeing this happen, decided reluctantly to join in on the hug too. Although...

"It's not like we can tell you anyways. It's unprofessional of us and unfair to all the other applicants who also applied and have to wait for their results. Also I'm pretty sure Nedzu have cameras installed in our house specifically for this occasion." He said in his deadpanned voice, causing Hitoshi to snort.

"Isn't that kinda... Ya know... Illegal?" Hitoshi asked and gave his dad a small chuckle.

"Hitoshi. We're talking about an intelligent, maniacal rat who can probably take down the hero society in a week if given the right resources. I don't even think half of our laws even apply to him now that I think about it." Shouta said, his brows furrowed in thought and realization.

Both Hizashi and Hitoshi shuddered, the image of Nedzu maniacally laughing as everything around him burns popped up into their minds.

Hizashi was the first to broke out of his stupor. "Let's not worry about... That. How about we start watching some movies? I just got a new- Well, not new, but something that my mom sent out to me in a box of stuff from her old house." He excitedly stood up and ran into his room, leaving Shouta and Hitoshi behind to prepare the snacks and other necessary things.

After five minutes of rummaging around, Hizashi ran back out and almost tripped on the two cats that were standing in the way, earning him two annoyed hiss.

"Found it! It doesn't look old but apparently, it's an ancient film that was made in the Pre-Quirk era! She managed to transfer the original movie into a more modern format for us to watch! I don't know what it's about but the name sounds cool!" Hizashi called out while preparing the movie on the TV, settling snuggly into the couch after he was done.

Shouta was actually getting kinda curious, what so interesting about this movie? "Hey Zashi, what's the movie called?"

"Hm? Oh! It's "Guardians of the Galaxy"? I don't know anything else but the name. She says it's fun though." He shrugged and continued to fiddle with the remote.

"Sounds cheesy but okay, I'll give it a shot." Hitoshi said nonchalantly, snuggling between his two dads, snatching their popcorn while holding Snowy in his lap.

Shouta would later regret his decision later in the day, as he watched in admitted defeat while his husband and son sing about some stupid drink for the twentieth time for the day, and that wasn't even counting the other songs in the damned movie. He just hopes that his neighbors wouldn't file a noise complaint, as much as he hates to admit it, he doesn't want to ruin their fun.

Meanwhile, Nedzu listen on in amusement with the audio tracker that he planted on both Yamada and Aizawa.

"Oh Aizawa, you flatter me. I could do it in ten days, tops." He said cheerfully while drinking his cup of tea, simmering in it's soothing warmth as he listened to more of their conversation, making sure that they didn't say anything they weren't suppose to. He trusted Aizawa to not do anything idiotic, but Yamada on the other hand...

Nedzu let out a small chuckled, focusing back onto rearranging his remaining files of paperwork into their necessary place while he continued to giggle at his employees' obliviousness.

One week later.

Izuku was staring at the envelope with the U.A seal on his desk with nervous anticipation, he knows he did rather well on the written exam, not leaving any questions blank. He was even confident on his performance in the practical, but there were always just... Something that prevented him from opening it.

'Come on Izuku, open it up already. What's stopping you...?'

'What if it's a rejection letter? What if it's just here to say I can never be in the hero course? I mean... Present Mic said to avoid the Zero-pointer, so what if destroying it's han-'

'Dude, the robots were made to be destroyed, you can't get in trouble for doing what they told you.'

'But... What if they made an exception just for me?'

'How the fuck does that make sense brain?!' He made a look of disbelief at his own train of thought, negative thoughts or not, that's a reach.

Izuku sighed, feeling really tired of arguing with himself for the past half hour. So, against all his thoughts that was going against him, he ripped open the envelope messily, dropping some sort of small device on his desk. He was confused for a moment, until it started to activate a hologram, showing...

"I am here! As a projection!" The familiar voice of the Number One Hero rang out through the room.

"ALL MIGHT?! Isn't this stuff sent by U.A?! What are you doing here?!" Izuku asked, forgetting the fact that the All Might infront of him wasn't real.

All Might started to answer again. "My apologies young man, but with great power comes great amounts of paperwork!" Stopping his energetic speel to stiffle a cough, making Izuku wince a little bit at the implication.

'I should be mad that you plagiarized my mom's line but jeez All Might, take it easy.' Izuku thought sadly for the man, even with his state of health and he's determined to record these for the students.

"Anyways, the reason I came to this city isn't just to fight out of control villains! You my boy, is looking at the newest faculty member of U.A!" All Might said proudly, his iconic grin as big as ever as he put his hands back on his hip.

"No way! You're serious?! You'll be working at U.A now?!" Izuku couldn't help but be astonished at the man.

All Might nodded like he saw Izuku through the screen, but not before he was apparently scolded by a person on set, telling him that they don't have enough time for personal messages. He snorted at the scene, seeing All Might groan in realization as they inform him of how many of these that he has to make after this one was pretty hilarious.

"Right! Moving on. You have passed the written test with an oustanding score! Topping out at ninety-eight percent! Higher than anything that we've seen in the last few years! That is an accomplishment not many can achieve so take that to heart!" All Might beamed, almost proudly if he wasn't trying to keep their relationship a secret.

Izuku nodded dumbly, still comprehending that he was one of the highest in the written test.

"Now onto more pressing matters. You got yourself fifty-seven combat points in the practical exam, that would usually qualify for a passing grade but..."

Izuku perked up, focusing on All Mights words even more now, his thoughts running a mile a minute on what All Might could possibly say.

"If that was all there is to it, you would've stood firmly at ninth place! Before you ask what I mean, take a look at this video." All Might pointed dramatically at a nearby screen with a remote at with a soft click, the screen changed.

"Excuse me sir, um..."

'That voice, it can't be!' Izuku focused even more, the person standing there clearer than ever.

"The nice girl! Why's she here?"

"After the test, she came to us to "negotiate", about what you ask? Well lets find out!" All Might clicked the remote again.

The girl continued. "Um... Do you know the examinee with the curly hair and freckles... Kinda plain...?"

'She's talking about me? Why?'

"Is it... Is it possible to give some of my points to him? If it wasn't for me, he would've had the time to gain more points if he needed... So if you can, at least give him the points that he lost because of me... He saved me!" The girl said with a serious look, staring pleadingly into Present Mic's eyes.

Izuku was honest to god baffled, as to why someone would go out of their way to do this for him. He just rushed in to help the girl that's all, anyone else would've done the same! So why... Why was someone wasting their ti-

'No, stop that. You're not a waste of anybody's time Izuku, remember that.' He reminded himself, even though things were turning out for the better, his negative thoughts still persist onward, like a pesky cockroach.

All Might's voice shook Izuku out of his somber thought. "In addition to mastering your newly developed Quirk, your actions spurred others to act... That is why the entrance exam the other day wasn't graded only on the Villain points!"

Izuku eyes widened, realization kicking in.

The video continued again, showing Present Mic patting the girl's head reassuringly. "No can do listener, I can't share your points even if you beg me. But I think you don't need worry listener, something tells me he's gonna do just fine."

All Might stood infront of the camera as it slowly, and dramatically lifted up to his face. "What kind of Hero course doesn't award people who save others and do the right thing? Call that excuses? Bring it on then! This is a profession where we risk our lives to make them into reality!"

'No... Does it mean...?'

"RESCUE POINTS! Given by the examiners! The most basic quality U.A looks into!" All Might anounced loudly, seemingly getting more energetic as the speech goes on.

"Izuku Midoriya! Won seventy rescue points! And Ochako Uraraka! Received forty-five rescue points!"

Izuku did the math in his head, but what came out couldn't be true right? There had to be some sort of error! His eyes started to fill up with tears as he realized what he had always dreamed of, what he had always longed for when he finally got his Quirk.

"You've passed Young Midoriya! With both of those points combined, you scored the first place out of all the other examinees! Beating out my record when I was in U.A! So with that Young Midoriya, I welcome you to your very own Hero Academia!" All Might said with joy, causing Izuku to fully ball his eyes out, making his mom ran in from the sound.

"Izuku! Izuku is everything alright baby?! Did you-" Inko saw the tears in her boy eyes, mind immediately rushing torwards the worst case scenario. That is... Until she notice his smile, the smile that hadn't seen since the day of his diagnosis, the smile that she had always cherished, the smile of her hero...

"M-Mom! I-I-I did it! I passed!" Izuku embraced his mom into a tight hug, crying tears of happiness onto her shoulder. This was it, this was finally his real step into becoming a full fledge hero!

Inko said nothing in return, only hugging him as tight as she possibly can. Her baby was finally going to achieve his dreams! Although she will still always be worried for him, she would do her very best to support every decision that her son was choosing to make. She just hopes that she taught him well enough for him to think them through.

That day, Inko threw her son a small celebration party. Making more of that tasty Katsudon, sitting down and watching some movies with him, laughing with each other when their favourite scene comes on. All in all, a fantastic day for both the mother and son.

At the Bakugou's household.

Katsuki should've been happy that he was finally going to U.A, the school of his dreams... But he wasn't, that damned video keeps replaying in his mind.

'Congratulations Young Bakugou! You've were fantastic in the entrance exam! You've earned the most villain points out of all the other contestants! Landing yourself in second place!...' The words of All Might rang in his head. He zoned out after that, not even bothering to hear what else All Might had to say.

"Damnit!" He whispered yelled, slamming his hand onto his desk, creating more scorch marks on the already worn out surface.

'You've failed... How can you even call yourself the future Number One Hero...?'

'Bah, pathetic. You talked big yet you can't even do this right...'

'You should just give up. I mean, who would want someone like you in the Hero Course...?'

'Especially after all the things that you've done to Deku...'

Then he felt a soft brush against his leg. Looking down, he saw Bastard with an almost concerned look on it's face, putting two of it's paws on Katsuki's foot, like it was asking if everything was okay... Or it was just him going crazy by interpreting the dog's thoughts.

"Tch, I'm fine Bastard. Now go chase your tail and leave me alone." Katsuki grumbled, trying to get the puppy off him.

Bastard yipped, biting cutely at his fingers. It doesn't even hurt, just tickles like hell.

"Stop doing that you little shit, I'm not in the fucking mood for this shit." He scowled, picking up the puppy and stared straight into it's big round eyes.

Bastard stared back, and changed it's attempt from biting to licking Katsuki. But, because he was too far away to effectively do that, he just... Licked the air with the excitement of a toddler who was just given ice cream out of nowhere.

Katsuki stiffled his laugh with a loud snort. "God you're so fucking stupid, why the fuck did I even keep you." He smirked at the happy puppy in his hands, rubbing his thumbs gently on it's belly. This turned out be a great choice as the puppy's tail starts wagging uncontrollably, whipping softly at Katsuki's arm at how fast they were going.

"Fine, fine, you win." Katsuki sighed, standing up from his chair and moving to lay down on his bed, hugging the dog to his chest while still comtemplating his earlier thoughts.

'Tch. I don't need some shitty points to prove that I'm the best. I'll destroy the bastard who came in first place and show everyone at U.A not to underestimate my abilities!' Katsuki let a feral grin spread his face, thinking of all the possible ways he can show off his abilities.

"Oi Katsuki! You done in there brat?! What's taking you so lon-" Mitsuki burst into his room, just in time to hear All Might's announcement.

"-gratulations Young Bakugou! I welcome you, to your Hero Academia!"

To say Mitsuki cried that day would be an understatement, she went through a whole box worth of tissues. Katsuki was still raging about her barging into his room and Masaru was congratulating his son while preparing a whole feast containing all of Katsuki's favourite food, a proud smile clearly on his face.

At the Aizawa's household.

Hitoshi was staring in awe at the multiple shots of him saving other contestants, four in total. The largest one being the group that he saved by jamming his weapon into a Three-pointer's wheel, effectively immobilising it by breaking his bo staff in half, sticking a large middle piece into it's inner mechanisms, leaving him a pair of makeshift escrima sticks. He took the sharp ends and stabbed them into the fake villain's face, stopping it from attacking any further.

"Now who would we be after someone showed such a heroic spirit weren't given the chance he deserves to act upon it!" The projection All Might said boisterously. his iconic smile still as present as ever.

"Welcome Young Shinsou, to your Hero Academia!"

Hitoshi steadied himself on his two dads as he processed what freaking All Might just said. "I passed."

"Yep." Both Hizashi and Shouta answered at the same time, goofy looking grins were on both of their faces. Well, in Shouta's case, more of a shit-eating one.

"I'm in U.A"

"Yep."

"I'm in the Hero Course."

"Yep."

"You guys knew the entire time didn't you." Hitoshi asked with a suspicious gaze, though there was an amused tone in his voice.

"Sorry kiddo, our hands were tied. Nedzu will have our skins if we did." Hizashi rubbed the back of his neck, trying to explain his innocence.

"Sure, what he said." Shouta agreed. He should tell Hizashi about the time that Nedzu blasted the sountrack of the movie they watched in his office when he called Shouta in to remind him not to say anything to Hitoshi, but not now. Right now was his son's personal moment and he could definitely delay terrifying his husband later.

"Meh, it's fine. I'm just... I'm really going to U.A?"

"That's the fourth time you asked that, but yes. And we've never been prouder of you right now Hitoshi." Hizashi hugged his boy, giving him a few head pats along the way. Shouta grunted in affirmation and joined in the group hug.

Hitoshi couldn't help but cry a little when he said that. "I-I doubt that I could've done if I hadn't met you guys when I did... Thank you guys so much..." He hold on tight, not letting any of his dads go, like they would disappear the moment he did.

They stayed like that for a while, with hugs and head pats before Hizashi suddenly grinned with the excitement of toddler who just discovered their Quirk. "Oh Hitoshi! I completely forgot that I got a surprise for you! Wait here for a moment!" And he splits off from the group, jumping over the three cats that were in his way to his room.

"Huh. Dad? Do you feel a little... Deja Vu?" Hitoshi asked his remaining dad.

"Strangely, yes. Though I'm feeling like I'm going to regret something soon." Shouta said while narrowing his eyes.

"Ugh, you always regret something. You said that you regretted adopting Scroundrel but who do I see hogging him the most?" Hitoshi asked with a raised eyebrow, a confidence smirk on his face that was saying 'gotcha'.

"In my defense, he did us a favor by peeing on Zashi's horrible bowtie collection on the second night. I mean, those were awful." Shouta grimaced as the memory of the multicolored bow that Zashi wore to their wedding was conjured up in his mind. Not noticing Hizashi has entered the room and an offended look was on his face.

"Hey! It took me a long time to collect all of that! And I'll have you know, bowties are cool!" Hizashi exclaimed indignantly, still feeling a little bit sour at that particular event.

"Sure." They both drawled out, chuckling to each other much to Hizashi's expense.

"Hmph! I've gone out of my way to get you this and this is how you repay me? By siding with him? Unbelievable!" Hizashi tossed something to Hitoshi while looking away, hiding his expression from the two of them.

"Hm? What's this..." Hitoshi stopped his questioning, his eyes gained a certain glint in them that kinda worries Shouta.

"Hitoshi? You ok?"

"Never better." Hitoshi's grin turned into the same shit-eating one Shouta had. Huh, so that was what it looked like when he did it to other people.

Shouta took a look over his son's shoulder and immediately froze from what he saw. No, no no no no no. Hizashi you son of a-!

"Surprise! You're looking at the new and improved, GOTG Vol.2 baby! Took me a while to track down the original movie, and it took some time to actually transfer it into a format that we can watch, but by god did I do it. Now, WHO'S READY FOR A FANTASTIC MOVIE TIME?! YEAHHHH!!!" Hizashi yelled energetically, pumping up Hitoshi who already took off torwards the TV, and filling Shouta with a sense of tiredness that his toughest patrol couldn't even achieve.

"Hizashi... Just... Why?" Shouta facepalmed with both of his hands, dragging them slowly down his face. His painful existence had finally reached it's top.

"Oh stop being such a drama queen Shou, it's not as bad as you think. Besides, I know that you at least liked the music! And look at Hitoshi, he has the same look as he did when we first adopted him! Would you deny him of this? He looks freaking adorable!" Hizashi cooed quietly, eyes looking at Shouta with a pleading look.

Shouta really hated when Hizashi pulled the 'look-like-an-injured-kitten' act on him, his husband knows damn well that he couldn't help but go along with him when he did that. Ugh, this was like the Scratchy incident all over again.

"Alright fine... This better be good." He answered grumpily, not particularly happy with the circumstance that he's in.

"Relax Shouta, if you want, we can go to the cat cafe later to make it up for you." Hizashi took the oportunity to peck a kiss onto Shouta's cheek, causing a slight blush to appear on his face while still grumpily rubbing at the spot he just kissed. His husband is so cute when he's acting like that.

Hitoshi pretended to gag at his parent's display of affection. "Stop flirting with each other and come here already! I already made the popcorn!" He said impatiently, hugging two of the cats while patting the two spots next to him, signalling for them to hurry up.

Hizashi pulled his husband along, but not before Shouta managed to snatch up Scroundrel and putting the black cat snuggly into his scarf, earning him a few appreciative purrs. They sat down next to their son as he started the movie, smiling from ear to ear at the opening logo. This is going to be fun!

Meanwhile

"Oh my, some new songs? Thank you Mr. Yamada, I was begining to find the old one boring!" The chimera said cheerfully, sipping at his hot tea. Checking on some of the students' files that caught his eyes. Especially one of a green haired boy.

'So this is your choice Yagi? I must say you picked quite an interesting one...' Nedzu thought amusingly, laying the boy's file down... Right next to a small jar containing a dark green spider, seemingly dead from natural causes.

'This year will be a rather interesting one, wouldn't you say Mr. Midoriya?' He chuckled to himself, humming the song that was playing in his office.

Chapter Text

The night after Izuku recieved his results, he was finally contacted by All Might after a week long silence from the hero. He felt really excited about meeting All Might again, and he was especially excited at the possibility that this meeting would bring him.

'Am I really gonna get All Might's Quirk? I mean... I did pass but... Was it enough...?' Izuku thought as he ran torwards the familiar beach, the wind flying pass his face, reminding him of the sensation when he was swinging from building to building. It was... Weirdly relaxing to say the least, to feel the phantom push of gravity without even falling, to remember the sense of adrenaline that used to run under his skin, to remember in intricate detail what pose he used in every swing... Wait, what was he talking about again? Then the sight of a familiar gauntly looking man interrupted his rambling thoughts.

'Right, All Might.' Izuku ran even faster to the man, maybe too fast as he skidded to a stop right in front of his hero, catching his balance just in time to avoid falling into the water.

"Heya All Might!" Izuku whisper yelled, his enhanced senses notifying him of the couple that was standing on a nearby dock.

Toshinori looked surprised for a moment before looking at his surroundings, after checking that no one was looking at them, he breathed out a sigh of relief. "Hello Young Midoriya, but may you call me Yagi or Toshinori in this form? Just to be safe."

"Oops, yeah sorry All- I mean Yagi-san?... Nope, that sounds too freaking weird coming from my mouth." Izuku said admantly, shaking his head with vigor.

All Might had to admit... It was really weird to hear Young Midoriya call him by his name after all this time. "Yes... I... Do have to agree with you on that. Just remember to be careful of your surroundings when you see me alright? Don't need anyone connecting the dots now." He jokingly said, his face mounting a skeletal grin.

"Alright All Might, I promise. So... Why did you call me out here again?" Izuku asked, getting straight to the point.

"Ah right! So first off, I would like to say congratulations my boy!" All Might raised his hand into a high five, which Izuku returned excitedly with a whoop, thanking the man for his compliment.

"And by the way, the school doesn't know a thing about our relationship, so don't go around thinking that you were cheating my boy. I didn't do any of the judging." All Might reassured the boy before he can wonder about it.

"Right... Thank you for your concern!" Izuku quickly answered. Truthfully, he wasn't worried about that at all, he knows All Might enough to trust him not to give him any type of special treatment. The bruises from his ten months of training were proof of that already.

"Though I was surprised that you decided to be a teacher at U.A. Isn't your agency at Roppongi, Minato-ku, Toky-"

"Enough, I'm well aware that you are a fanboy Young Midoriya, no need to tell me twice." The man said with a small shake of his head, though he was still smiling at the boy.

"Before I can explain my abscence, can you tell me about the... Thing that you did in the entrance exam?"

It took Izuku a moment before he realized what All Might was talking about. "Oh you mean the electricity thingy? I... Don't really have an answer for you All Might. It just... Suddenly happened. Though I did remember wanting the Zero-pointer to stop, do you think that was how I activated it?"

"Your guess would be as good as mine my boy, but if I had to... Then I'd say that it's some sort of trait from the spider that bit you that has presented itself for you in your time of need, although in a different form than what it originally was. Maybe... A type of venom to paralyze your enemies? Though I'd say this was more of a blast than a bite." All Might said with a shrug.

"Oooh, Venom Blast, that's a good name for that move. Wait... Would I have produced organic webs if I hadn't built my web-shooters then?"

"Like I said Young Midoriya, you know about it as much as I do. But let's move on to the more important stuff shall we?" All Might asked, gesturing for Izuku to follow him, which he did.

"You see, I was not allowed to speak a word about my employment until U.A made the announcemet. Before I met you, I was looking for a suitable successor and U.A just happened to offer me a teaching position." All Might explained his intentions, looking torwards the big blue sea.

'So that's why he really came here. To pick the perfect student for his Quirk? Out of all the highly skilled students that he could possibly find at U.A, he picked... Me of all people?' Izuku wondered, wanting to ask how he was chosen instead of the other potential candidates.

"So... Why me? The other kids had years to train their body and Quirk, I only had mine for ten months. They could've deserve it more than I do..." Izuku said while glancing down at his feet, waiting for All Might to answer him.

All Might was silent for a moment before he gave the kid his answer. "Maybe so. Maybe they could've had the perfect Quirk that can be enhanced even more with One For All, maybe they had the perfect body. But I don't look for any of that my boy, I want a successor who will not hesitate to fling himself into danger for the sake of others, I want a successor who was willing to push pass and break their own limits to achieve their goals. And Young Midoriya, you have proven yourself more than enough to be the one to inherit my Quirk." He transformed into his hero form, plucking out a single strand of his hair and held it infront of Izuku

'So... Cool! But, why the hair...?' The boy wondered again, until the realization hit him like a truck.

"Now, eat this!" All Might said too cheerfully for someone in this type of situation.

"... Ya know, this is definitely one of the things you should've told me before you made me your successor." Izuku grimaced, snatching the hair and eyeing it with disgust before he threw it in his mouth and hoped for the best.

All Might gave the boy a look of pity before handing him a water bottle to wash it down, he knew how hard it was to swallow it dry from experience. He just hopes that Nana would be proud of his choice...

Izuku managed push through and not vomit out his whole dinner, though he was very close to it. Why did it taste so sour?!

"That was awful... Hm, I don't feel any different. Disgusted maybe, but aside from that, not much."

"Well you have to give it time to digest it first! It's not lik-"

"HOLY CRAP IS THAT ALL MIGHT?!"

"NO WAY! WHEN DID HE GET HERE?!"

All Might visibly paled, turning his head to look at Izuku. "Quick my boy! Play dumb!"

Izuku nodded and yelled the perfect words. "WHO'S ALL MIGHT?!"

.

.

.

The couple was too confused that someone would even consider saying those words to notice in time that the Hero had already left, jumping off into the distance, carrying something in his arms.

"I said play dumb, but not that dumb Young Midoriya!"

"I'm sorry! It was the only thing I can think off!"

And there they were, flying through the air together. Izuku whooping at the height they were at, and All Might was just shaking his head with a small chuckle at his successor's decision making skills. Despite that, both were smiling from ear to ear as the wind flew past their face, just enjoying themselves at the beautiful sight of the city from up high.

'We've got a long way to go Young Midoriya. I just hope that I'll be there to help you cultivate both of your powers before my flames can completely disappear when my task is done... Yep, that's pretty deep.'

A few weeks later.

"You okay Midoriya? You look nervous." Shinsou asked, walking along side his friend to his new school. His dads already went to the school early in the morning to prepare for the orientation, or in Aizawa's case, one of his typical logical ruses that Shinsou has yet to see for himself.

"Well yeah, I mean we're finally going to freaking U.A! In the Hero course no less! How can I not be nervous? This is where All Might went to for his studies for crying out loud! Did you know that he destroyed every single robot in his area during his entrance exam?" Izuku rambled out, some of it too fast for Shinsou to make out clearly. So he did what any friend would do in that situation, he whacked on the boy's head lightly to snap him out of his fanboying.

"Relax Midoriya, you'll be fine. Though with your luck, you'll either snag yourself a girlfriend... Or get expelled on the first day. Great odds if you ask me." Shinsou joked, looking at his friend with a mischevous grin.

"If that's your way of calming me down then it's not helping, like at all Hitoshi." Izuku pouted at the boy, his face displaying slight blush from being teased. Not noticing at all that his friend has halted in his tracks, staring at Izuku with confused eyes.

"What? Did I say something wrong? I-I'm sorry if-"

"No! No you didn't do anything wrong. You... You just called me Hitoshi that's all."

The boy's eyes widened in realization. "Oh. It just... Kinda slipped out I guess? Do... Do you want me to call you by Shinsou again?"

"Nah, it's fine. It's about time you call me by that anyways, we've been friends for what? Almost two years? Besides, I'm tired of calling you Midoriya. Izuku sounds way better than just saying the color of your hair." Shi- Hitoshi shrugged casually, eyes still fixed on him, but now they showed appreciation instead.

"Thank you... Hitoshi. Come on! Let's go, we're gonna be late if we're not hurry!" Izuku started to jog at a brisked pace, signalling for his friend to follow him.

"Yeah, no problem Izuku. Oh, by the way, where's the Pomeranian? Not that I want to endure his presence, but wouldn't you want to go with him too?"

"Firstly, stop with that nickname already, you know he hates that. Also, Kacchan already went ahead of time before us, something about his 'ultimate exercise routine' that he adjusted for U.A"

"Huh, dude's committed, I can give him that. And for your information, that is exactly why I call him Pomeranian." Hitoshi grinned again, still keeping up with Izuku.

"Whatever you say..." They jogged quietly for a moment, until Izuku thought of a fantastic idea.

"Hey Hitoshi." He said while hiding his expression from the purple haired boy, tiny traces of a smirk on his freckled cheek.

"Hm?"

"Let's race!" Izuku pulled his sleeves up, revealing his smaller web-shooters and zipped away with the gracefulness of a gymnast. Leaving his friend behind in a trail of dust.

"Try to keep up!" He hollered back.

"Huh?! What?! Hey, no fair! Give me a pair of that!" Hitoshi said while giving chase after his friend, cursing slightly under his breath at his slow reaction time.

"Maybe later! But right now, see ya at U.A Hitoshi!" Izuku said, cackling loudly much to Hitoshi's expense. He doesn't exactly know where his surge of confidence came from or even why he decided that this was the time to race with his friend, but right now he was having the time of his life to even care about that.

"How the heck did you beat me here?!" Izuku said in disbelief. His friend was standing in front of the school gate, flicking through his phone like he was just simply waiting for him all this time and was not just in a race with Izuku a minute ago.

"Pure absolute spite and a lot of shortcuts. You ain't the only one who have some tricks up their sleeves Izuku... In your case, literally." Hitoshi nodded torwards the two web-shooters that was on his friend's wrist, grinning like he had just won the greatest bet of the century.

"Alright I kinda deserved that, I shouldn't have been so show-offy. Man, I didn't even see you!" Izuku exclaimed, a bit tired and grumpy from his lost.

"I got my ways, now walk with me normally this time and tell me about your the things on your arms." Hitoshi said, putting an arm over a sulking Izuku's shoulder and dragging him into the school.

Admittedly, Hitoshi wasn't really expecting for Izuku to stop pouting and pull out a large notebook, detailing every little notes for his support item. His eyes sparkling more and more as he rambles on how they function, their designs, what powers them, what kind of things they could do and even the slightly bigger version that was meant for his hero outfit. The purpled haired boy was honestly getting more intrigued as his friend explains the ins and outs of his device, feeling like he just learned more about science than he ever did in a decade.

"Damn Izuku, you said these were made from garbage scraps? That's kinda impressive actually. Any chance that you have an extra pair that I can borrow? Maybe teach me how to swing like you do?." Hitoshi suggested with a wiggle of his eyebrows, trying to convince his friend.

Izuku awkwardly laughs. "Ah. That. I can let you borrow them, sure, but I don't think you'll be able to swing around like me much. Well, maybe a few simple swing here and there, but swing like me? You'll probably dislocate your arms or worse if you tried. ." He explained with a tinge of disappointment.

"... Yeah let's delay on the swinging part or a little while. Still, could be useful for capturing villains, or fixing up my broken chair." Hitoshi added as a suggestion, still remembering all the times that it suddenly lurched backwards, making him fall out of his seat.

"I... You know what, maybe it can be a tape of somekind. I might have to adjust the web-fluid formula a little bit to delay the dissolving process even longer, but it should work. Maybe if I use some..." Izuku went on a muttering storm, mumbling about some chemicals that Hitoshi was not even bothering to figure out. He had enough science for the day, thank you very much.

After a while of wandering the halls of U.A, they finally reached the gigantic door of their designated classroom. Class 1-A, the Hero class. God it was still hard to believe that Hitoshi had managed to land himself into this course, and with his best friend of all people. He turned to see what Izuku's reaction was, only to find out the guy was still muttering about his devices.

Hitoshi sighed and snapped his fingers near his friend's ear, startling him out of his trance. "Hey, Earth to Izuku. We're here dude, turn the muttering down a little bit."

"Wuh? Really? Oh! Wow the door's huge! You think it's to accomodate people with gigantification Quirks?" Izuku asked while fiddling with the straps of his backpack, nervous on the potential classmates that he would meet today.

'Wait, is Kacchan in this class or class 1-B? I forgot to ask him...'

Then the sound of a small explosion was heard from the room, along with the faintest sound of cursing.

'Nevermind...' Izuku stiffled his giggling, glad that his other friend is in the same class as him. Hitoshi on the other hand...

"Welp, is it too late now to move to the General Education course?"

Izuku gave his friend a look. "Come on Shi- Hitoshi, stop being so dramatic. He's not the same person from middle school anymore, he changed, you saw it yourself. Just... Give him a chance and he might even surprise you." He said determinely, giving his friend an exasperated sigh.

Hitoshi rolled his eyes and moved to open the door, sliding the door out of their way. Revealing...

"Get your feet off right at once! Don't you feel shame for the degrading our school's property?! You cretin!" The same boy who had accused Izuku of sabotaging the other contestants scolded a familiar blond

"Is there some sort of stick up your ass?! Why the fuck would I care for whoever made some shitty desk?! Where the hell are you from?" Katsuki growled out, his cocky look now present on his face.

The guy seemed stunned for a moment, but answered the boy anyway. "I... My name is Tenya Iida! I'm from Soumei Private Academy."

"Soumei? The damn elite school? I'll have fun crushing you down to dust then!" Katsuki sneered at the guy, getting a horrified reaction out of the boy.

"Crush me to dust?! You delinquent! Are you even here to be a proper Hero?!" The aghast boy questioned the blond, who was looking pretty amused through out their whole interaction.

Katsuki was about to retort until he saw the two familiar bush of hair, one green and one purple. "Oi Deku! Eyebags! Fucking finally! I was about to give this damn elitist what he deserves!" Katsuki smiled menacingly, nodded his head torwards the guy who was giving Izuku a look of recognition.

"It's you..." The student said, unknowingly directing the whole room's attention to Izuku.

"Um... Hi?" Izuku waved politely to the staring class, some waved back, some just turned back to their conversations. On the inside, the boy was freaking the fuck out, there were too many eyes on him than what he was comfortable with.

The student, now known as Iida, marched torwards Izuku with a stern look. "Good morning! I'm from Soumei-"

"Yeah we get it pal, now what do you want?" Hitoshi asked, annoyed at seeing this guy again.

"Hitoshi, be nice! A-Anyways, I'm Izuku Midoriya and this ball of sunshine over here is Hitoshi Shinsou. Nice to meet you Iida" Izuku nervously introduced while patting his friend's back.

"Midoriya. You knew how the exam was set up, didn't you?" Iida's eyebrows were still furrowed, expression still more intense than it should be in a situation like this.

Izuku... Didn't know how to exactly respond to that statement, so he just stayed silent and wondered how all of this would play out.

"I didn't even notice it. I have misjudged you once again. It's truly hard to admit but you were one step ahead of me the entire exam!"

"... Do... Do you mean the rescue points? Because I had no idea they were even a thing..." Izuku explained with a sweatdrop, wondering how someone can be so serious about everything. Then, a soft voice spoke up from behind him.

"Oh, that curly hair! You're the plain looking boy!"

Izuku turned around, eye widening at who he saw. 'It's the nice girl! She's here too?' His mind also filled in that her name was something Uraraka, but he doesn't know why he knows that.

"You passed, just like Present Mic said! I mean, of course you did! You saved me!" She gestured energetically, imitating the same moment that he held up the Zero-pointer. A big wide smile displayed on her soft round face.

Izuku turned red, still not used to a girl actually wanting to talk to him. Most they would do in his old middle school was write fake love letters for him, telling him to meet them after school. He didn't fell for any of them of course, the sniggering the girls made when he read them would always blow their cover, but it would still kinda hurt. And he has to say, this was a nice change of pace.

"I-It was nothing, anyone w-would've don the same. Besides, y-you went out of y-your way to speak to him f-for me, that p-probably helped too!" Izuku tried his best to stammer out a coherent response to the girl infront of him, and it was not helping that he was now noticing how she looked in the U.A uniform.

"Huh? How'd you know about that?" Uraraka tilted her head slighly in confusion, was he nearby when she said that?

"D-Don't worry about that!" Izuku waved frantically, looking at his friends for help. Just to see that they were both crossing their arms, leaving him to fend for himself while they looked quite entertained with what was going on, both smirking mischieviously.

"Okay then? Hm, I wonder if today's just for the entrance ceremony and orientation? I wonder what our teacher's like? Ooh I'm so nervous!" Uraraka said, almost bouncing up and down from excitement. Getting closer, much Izuku's embarrassment.

"If you're here to socialize and make friends, then I suggest you take this some. where else. This is the Hero course." A dead voice interrupted them, declaring his annoyance.

Izuku halted his everything, looking over the frozen girl's shoulder to see... A giant yellow caterpillar?!

A... man, slightly opened the sleeping bag he was in, sucked on some sort of energy pouch before standing up and revealing his full body, like a moth coming out of it's cocoon. He had long black hair at his shoulder length, his eyes had bags that could rival hitoshi's and he had some sort of scarf wrapped around his neck. "It took you eight seconds to quiet down, that won't do. Time is a precious thing for Heroes to be aware of. You kids aren't logical enough." He said tiredly, eyes in a perpetual state of 'done-with-this-shit'.

Everyone in the class didn't know what else to do but look at the man with various expressions, some confused, some uncaring, some intently paying attention to the man who appeared out of no where.

"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shouta Aizawa. Nice to meet you." Aizawa introduced himself to the whole class, causing several gasps to ring out from the room. This was their teacher?! He looks like a hobo!

Aizawa sighed and took out some gymnastic uniform, throwing them quickly to Izuku who caught many of them without much effort.

"Good reflexes. Now, all of you wear those and come to the field, no exceptions. I don't care how you get there, just be there in ten minutes or you all get detention for the rest of the year." Aizawa then left, leaving panicked students to run out to the front, fighting over the uniforms that fit them.

'What kind of teacher is this?!' Everyone in the classroom thought. Well, all but Hitoshi of course, who can already guess what his dad has in store for them.

"You're all here. Good. We will begin a Quirk Apprehension test shortly." Aizawa said with as much energy as he can muster, not looking at any of his supposed students.

"Wait what? No entrance ceremony or orientation for us?" Uraraka voiced out her thoughts and it seems like she wasn't the only one thinking about the same thing. Their teacher's demeanor hasn't exactly said "professional" from the amount of time that they knew him, considering that he literally rolled into class in a sleeping bag that reeks of something dead inside of it.

"If you want to be a Hero, you simply don't have the time for any of that. U.A is known for it's unrestricted style and that applies to the teachers as well, so we can teach our class in whatever way we see fit." Aizawa said simply, listening in for any students that might question him. When he couldn't find any, he turned to face the class and continued with what he was doing.

"You all have been doing this since your middle school, correct?" He pulled out a device with an electronic screen, holding it out for the class to see. It was a list containing some physical activities that they used to do. "Physical fitness tests that prohibited the use of any Quirk whatsoever. Our country continues to calculate averages based on the uniformed result of superhumans, which should be considered illogical in the first place. The Ministry of Education is just too lazy to do their jobs correctly." Aizawa grumbled irritably, throwing shade like it was nobody's business.

He looked torwards Izuku and spoke up again. "Midoriya. You came in first in the practical portion of the exam, am I correct?" He announced suddenly, turning everyone's attention torwards the boy. Pointedly ignoring his son's disapproving eyes, friend or not, he had a job to do.

Izuku immediately glanced at his two friends, Hitoshi looked impressed, while Katsuki looked rather... Conflicted. He doesn't know why his friend is conflicted, and he really doesn't like that. Izuku sent him a concerned look, which was when Katsuki returned with a scoff and an eyeroll, making it very clear that he shouldn't worry. But something tells Izuku that he still should anyways.

Izuku pushed away his worries for a bit and answered his teacher. "Y-Yes Aizawa-sensei?"

"In the past, what was the best result in you softball throw?"

"Um... Best I did last year was one hundred and fifteen meters. B-But that was only because my quirk is a passive one and I couldn't really turn it off... I tried my best to hold back but it's really hard to do that... They didn't let me do anymore of the tests when they found out about that." Izuku said shyly, hoping his answer would satisfy his teacher.

Mumurs arised from the class, wondering if what they just heard was true. But they were stopped from getting louder pretty quickly by a glare from their teacher.

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment on anything specific. "Then try and throw it with your quirk this time. And I warn you, absolutely no holding back throughout the whole duration of this test." He said with a voice so stern that Izuku couldn't help but nodded frantically at him. He was terrifying!

Izuku stood in the middle of the circle, looking at the ball that Aizawa had given him, doing some basic stretches along the way.

'Okay, no need to worry Izuku. You can do this, just believe it yourself! You have a Quirk now, heck you have two quirks now! You got this!' Izuku hyped himself up as he waited for Aizawa to give him the signal.

'Wait how do I even activate One For All? ... Meh, I'll figure it out later.'

"Now remember, you can do anything inside the circle, as long as you don't step a foot outside. Now hurry it up, with all your might or whatever." Aizawa tiredly explained, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible.

'Here goes nothing then.' Izuku wound his arm back, his upper body lurching forward with an unexpected amount of speed, leading with his elbow in front of him to throw the ball in the most effective way possible, putting more power into the throw than he thought he could possibly muster. And as he was about to finish his throw, he yelled out a cry to pump himself up even further.

"YEET!" His words echoed through the air as dust shot back from the air pressure, multiple massive shockwaves erupted in the area, trailing behind the ball that has just been thrown at significantly high speeds and departed nearby clouds into rings. It continued to rise and rise and rise, until it disappeared completely into the giant clouds, obscuring their view of the the ball.

After a moment of stunned silent from the whole class, Aizawa's device beeped. The man looking at Izuku's result, displaying only a small smirk and one raised eyebrow.

"Not bad kid. That, is the reason why you need to know about your maximum limit first, it's the most logical way to form your foundation as a Hero and to help you learn how to control your quirks more efficiently." He turned the device torwards the class, making them gasp in astonishment from how far the green haired boy had managed to throw it to.

"One thousand, six hundred and ten meters?! Seriously?! What the heck kinda OP Quirk is that?!" A blond haired boy with a black lighting bolt stripe on his hair asked incredulously, sweating at the sheer power that was Izuku.

"It is very impressive if this was a strength enhancer Quirk, I can see how you landed yourself the first place on the entrance exam Midoriya." A girl with long black ponytail politely commented, her face displaying a small polite smile.

"This looks so fun!" The pink girl said excitedly

'... 'Yeet'... Seriously Izuku? I expected better from you.'

Hitoshi snapped out of thingking about his friend's choice of a war cry when he realized what the girl just said, wincing as he braced for what was about to happen. If he knew Aizawa well and he does, then things were about to get a lot more serious.

"'This looks fun', huh?" Aizawa chuckled darkly, a dark aura emanating from him. Causing the whole class to drop dead silent, the pink gir now realizing that she had fucked up big time.

"You have only three years to learn how to become a Hero, do you plan on having that kind of attitude in my class?" Aizawa questioned his whole class, his eyes lingered on the person who said it a bit longer. Unnoticable to everyone else of course, but the girl in question felt a shiver run along her whole spine as she spotted her teacher's cold calculating gaze staring directly into her soul.

Aizawa smirked. "Alright then, whoever has the lowest overall result through all of the eight categories, will be considered to have no potential whatsoever, and will be immediately expelled." His words earning terrified gasps throughout most of the class.

"I wasn't lying when I said we teachers can choose to do whatever we want with our class." Aizawa used a hand to lift his lock of hair that was hanging on his face, showing the terrified class slightly manic look and smile that he currently has. "Welcome to U.A's Hero course, try not to die while you're here."

A silent dread followed after Aizawa's statement, nobody in the class dared to even speak. Well, almost everyone...

"How can you expel us?! It's only our first day here! A-And even if it's not our first day, it's totally unfair to all of us who worked hard to get here!" Uraraka said, trying not to show everyone that she was still terrified on the inside.

"Natural disasters." Aizawa simply said, confusing every student in the class.

"Enormous accidents, rampaging villains." He listed off, not leaving a room for them to interrupt him.

"Calamity is always right around the corner and I'd say that life is full of unfairness. Heroes are the ones who have to find a way to correct all of that unfairness. If you were expecting to spend your time hanging out with your friends, then you'd be dead wrong. For the next three years, U.A will put you through the wringer as future Heroes. That's why our school motto is Plus Ultra, use all of your strength to overcome all the hardships. So bring it on already." Aizawa finished with a smaller manic smile, his pointer finger doing a 'come-at-me' motion.

'Trial by fire huh... If this is what it's like to be a Hero, then it can't be helped...'

'Goddamnit Deku, you won't win that easily...'

'Sheesh Dad, drama much? It's like you want to give your students nightmares...'

"Now that the demonstration is over, it's for real from here on out."

And so begins the Quirk Apprehension test of class 1-A. All of them too busy to notice a small drone watching them from above, with the letter 'N' painted on it's side.

"Let's see what makes you so special, Mr. Midoriya..." The robotic voice of the chimera said in amusement, zooming in on the messy bush of green hair.

Chapter Text

FIRST EVENT: 50-METER DASH

After a few students had gone with their turn, it was time for Katsuki and Izuku to move to their respective positions, both were excited to have the opportunity to battle against one another, albeit in a race.

"Ready to eat some dust Deku?" Katsuki said in a challenge while streching, a cocky toothy smile displayed on his features.

Izuku politely giggled, sending him a smile in return. "I don't think I can eat my own dust Kacchan, you'll have to do it for me." He playfully winked, confusing Katsuki even further.

It was still weird to see Deku having the balls to sass him, not that he wanted his friend to be afraid of him again of course, it just that... He still feels like he doesn't deserve this, to have Deku as a friend again. Ten years of torment, ten years of bullying, ten years of loneliness should've made anyone hate him, it should've filled Deku to the brim with resentment and hatred torwards Katsuki... But all he received back was kindness and forgiveness from the boy. It was still frustrating him for some weeks now, how can someone even be like that?!

'You shouldn't even be here right now, you're more a Villain than a Hero...'

'Shut. Up. I'm going to do my fucking damnedest to make it up for the nerd, I don't know how the fuck I'm going to do that but I'm gonna find a way goddamnit!'

Katsuki stopped arguing with himself just in time to hear the robot announce them both to get ready.

"On your marks... Get set..."

"GO!"

Both Izuku and Katsuki shot off, using their quirks to their full advantage. Katsuki used his explosions to blast himself forward and Izuku used his ungodly super strength to run past his friend, creating cracks on the ground as he passed the finish line two second before Katsuki does.

"2.50 seconds"

"4.13 seconds"

That one earned him a proud grin from Hitoshi and an eyetwitch from Katsuki, who was trying to compose himself.

"Deku..." Katsuki growled, stomping his way torwards the now mortified boy.

"Y-Yes Kacchan?" Izuku stammered, nervous on what his friend was about to do.

"..."

"..."

"... Good job nerd, I guess..." Katsuki begrudgingly admits, still trying to keep his rage in check.

And as he saw his childhood friend lit up like a birthday candle, squealing happily from the compliment that he just got. Katsuki smirked at the sight, feeling his chest warming up just from looking at the nerd's bright smile. Even if this was the only thing he could do for the nerd, he would gladly do it again in a heartbeat.

"Stop standing there and move, we don't have time to diddle daddle" Aizawa said tiredly, still ignoring the shocked students that just saw the green haired boy beat out the record of someone who had a freaking speed Quirk of all things.

SECOND EVENT: GRIP TEST

"Five hundred and forty kilos! Are you a gorrila or something?!" The student with some weird elbows said in amazement, a wide toothy grin featured on his face.

"More of an octopus really." The guy with six arms explained casually, three of his multiple arms gripping tightly on the device

"Nice comparison, though don't let blondie over there hear that." Hitoshi jabbed a thumb torwards Katsuki with a chuckle, already done with the grip test. He scored quite nice actually, sixty five kilograms in one attempt, he'd say that was a new record for him.

"Um... Aizawa-sensei?" The shy voice of Izuku asked his teacher, still holding onto device without making an attempt to grip onto it. The group's attention diverted to him, wondering what's wrong.

Aizawa furrowed his eyebrows together, a tired sigh left his mouth. "Yes, what is it Midoriya? Is there something wrong with the device?"

"N-No! I... just wanted to ask you what this thing's maximum capacity is..." Izuku said, feeling slightly embarrassed for bothering his teacher.

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, not really knowing why Izuku would ask such a question. "Midoriya, I don't know why you would want to know that just use all your power to grip on it." He said in annoyance, his voice raising a bit higher than it should. "But regardless, these things can calculate up to six to-"

CRUNCH!

"-ons... Midoriya. What did you do?" Aizawa rubbed at his eyes, mentally preparing for his future headache as he stares at the now pile of scrap in Izuku's hand. The nearby groups that was watching their interaction were gaping their jaws wide open, dumbfounded at the incredible strength that the green haired student possesed.

"Um... I was about to tell you that I destroyed one of these before, but I kinda got startled at your voice... Sorry?" Izuku shrugged with a nervous and awkward chuckle, looking at Hitoshi to see that he was trying his best not to fall on his ass laughing. That's strange, what's so funny?

"Hi- Shinsou stop laughing, I'm not awake enough to deal with you yet." Aizawa grumbled at his son, checking over Izuku's hand to see if any shrapnel had pierce his skin. Luckily, there was no visible damage, though it was strange that someone can deal this much damage without injuring themselves. He saw All Might himself puched a robot not too long ago and even he has some small scratches on his fist, not a great comparison, but it was all he could think of at his current state of tiredness.

"You know what... At least you're Hitoshi's friend." Aizawa mumbled inaudibly and tiredly, letting go of Izuku's hand and sending him off to sit with his classmates who had already finished, leaving him to deal with their never ending questions. He turned his head to the left just to see his son had the same shit-eating grin he had, albeit a little bit smaller.

Then his son signed something, it was subtle and it took him a moment to realized what he said, but he eventually made out the words anyways.

'You do know that I know lip reading right?'

Oh.

THIRD EVENT: STANDING LONG JUMP

As Katsuki cleared the whole sandbox, he grinned confidently at Hitoshi, who just barely makes it in the middle of the box.

"How does it feels Eyebags, to lose to the future number one hero?" He sneers, the only reaction he got back was an exasperated eyeroll and a sarcastic laugh.

"Oh yeah, it hurts sooo much, how could I ever live with such a defeat, I'll have to run away and hide my shame forever. Maybe I'll disguise myself and leave the country, where no one will figure out what my greatest shame in life is, not jumping far enough ." Hitoshi dramatically, causing the student nearby him to burst out laughing.

"Dude, you're funny! Wanna be friends?" The boy with the bright yellow hair asked with a handshake.

"Yeah... Sure." And Hitoshi took his hand, shaking it unenthusiastically.

"Awesome! Hey by the way, what's your quirk? I haven't seen you use it for the tests." The guy asked innocently, not noticing that Hitoshi had paled significantly.

There it was, the question that he hoped nobody would ask, the question that he would always try to avoid. He grimaced more, he should've figured that this would happen, it always does eventually. But before he can say anything, the gruff voice of Katsuki answered.

"His quirk is none of your business, so fuck off. If he wanted to tell you, he would've already done so." Katsuki growled out, jabbing his finger onto the boy's chest. Eyes furrowed together in a threatening manner, even almost... Protective?

"H-Hey man, it's cool. If he doesn't want to tell me it's fine! J-Just wanted to do an icebreaker, that's all!" The boy raised his hands in defense, scared for his life.

"Oi Bakugou, it's fine, don't... Don't worry about it." Hitoshi said, unsure if this was even the same guy that he knew. Sure the scowling, the angry growling, the swears are all the telltale signs, but Bakugou himself would never try to defend him... Right?

"Tch. Whatever, enjoy wasting your fucking time with the stupid extras Eyebags. I'mma go do something actually meaningful." And he stomped off, glaring at the other students who were looking at him

"What the fuck are you looking at?! Fuck off!"

Nope, still him.

"Jeez, what's his problem?" The boy said while smoothing out his clothes, grinning awkwardly as he does so.

"That's actually him in a good mood, don't worry about it. And as for your question... It's... Brainwashing. I can control anyone who responds to one of my statement, but it only activates when I want it to so... Don't worry." Hitoshi looked away from the boy, closed his eyes and held his breath. He knows that his dads said that U.A wouldn't be the same, but he finds that kinda hard to believe, he just has to see it for himself first.

The boy's eye widened for a bit, but then it was quickly paired with a gigantic goofy smile on his face.

"That's an amazing Quirk! There's so much that you can do with a Quirk like that, no wonder you're in the Hero course!" The guy said with a friendly pat on Hitoshi's back, startling him out of his surprised stupor.

...Huh... Maybe U.A isn't going to be that bad after all. "Thanks... My name's Hitoshi Shinsou, yours?"

"Denki Kaminari, at your service. Say, can y-"

"Hey Hitoshi! I'm done!" Izuku came over, interrupting Sero while he was talking.

"Oh, hey Izuku. You done already? Did ya clear it or not? I wasn't really paying attention." Hitoshi smile softly, happy to see his friend had joined him.

"I did! But did you see the girl with the frog Quirk? She jumped so much farther than even Kacchan! Like, twenty meters! I wonder if there's any other thing that she can do, is her tounge as long as a frog's? Or maybe her skin can absorb oxygen underwater? How fast can she swim? Wait, can she stick on walls to-"

"Knock knock."

"Huh? Who's the-" Izuku's eyes turn blank, stopping his rambling from going any further.

"Seriously, why do you fall for that everytime. Also, sit down and stop rambling."

Izuku moved automatically, sitting down next to Hitoshi without even making a sound. He let go of his hold on his friend, already picturing the pouty face that he was going to give him.

Kaminari was just staring at the two in amusement, his goofy grin still present on his face.

'This guy is so cool...'

FOURTH TEST: SIDE STEPS

"Hey... Do you feel like someone here was supposed to be doing this better than us?"

"Kinda? It's probably just anxiety dude. I mean, I don't think any Quirk out there can help with a simple side step. Even if there was, kinda useless for the Hero course don't you think?"

"Yeah, you're right. It's probably nothing important. I'm just glad that none of our classmates are major perverts though."

"Well that, I can agree on."

FIFTH TEST: BALL THROW

"INFINITY?!" The whole class yelled after they just witnessed Uraraka sending the ball into the freaking orbit.

"How do you even calculate that?!"

"Doesn't matter. Bakugou, you're up next." Aizawa pointed to the scowling blond, already kinda miffed that she scored an infinity of all things. How the hell is he suppose to beat that shit?!

He shook his head lightly and started moving torwards the circle, his thoughts swirling around his head at how he can prove to everyone that's he gonna be the best in this class.

"You can do it Kacchan!" Izuku yelled encouragingly, cheering his friend on despite the stares he was getting.

Katsuki glanced at him before giving the boy a smirk and a thumbs up, not saying anything else. He got into the circle and started stretching his arms, trying to loosen them up to give himself more power to use.

'I'll add a blast to this pitch then, maybe even a...' Then Katsuki's eyes lit up with an idea, his mouth splitting into another feral grin.

"I'm sure you already know what to do, now get on with it." Aizawa said, eyes still looking at the device in his hand.

"Sure, teach." He swung his arm around, getting himself into an optimal position. He brought his arm back for a moment and moved his body forward in a quick motion, gaining more momentum in his throwing arm. He release the ball with an explosion, but not a too powerful one, then he gripped his wrist with his other hand and aimed it at the flying ball. "DIE!" He yelled before releasing an explosion that was even bigger that their classroom, sending the ball flying even further into the distance, creating multiple shockwaves. The air pressure around him shooting up more dust in the area, causing the students to block their face.

'Die?' Izuku thought with a stiffled chuckle as the dust settled, seeing his friend standing there with a triumphant grin, hunched over holding his twitching arm.

'Kacchan is so cool!'

Aizawa rubbed his eyes for a while, regretting standing as close as he did. A beep from the device sounded out in his hand, he looked down and was pretty surprised with what he saw.

"Hm, impressive." He turned the screen torwards the class again, already prepared for the shocked yells that followed.

"Holy shit! Eight hundred and eighty nine?! That guy's a monster!"

"Yeah! Did you see his moves? So manly!"

"I must admit, he has very skillful control over his quirk. Though his attitude still leaves something to be desired..."

Katsuki was about to yell to his classmates to mind their damn motherfucking business, but he was interrupted by a smiling Izuku with a proud look in his eyes.

"You did amazing Kacchan! I knew you can do it!" Izuku whooped again, this time getting an eyeroll from Hitoshi.

"You don't have to feed his ego, like, every five minutes Izuku."

"Can it Eyebags! I don't have a fucking ego!" He growled out, popping miniature explosions to intimidate the purple insomniac, but then... His Quirk stopped working.

"Huh?! What the hell? Why can't I use my quirk?!" Katsuki growled, flexing his hand to create more explosions but to no avail.

"Bakugou, I won't tolerate you using your quirk to threaten your classmates. Damnit, I was this close to not have to erase anyone's quirk..." Aizawa, whose hair floated menacingly and whose eyes glowed a deep red, grumbled a bit louder than he planned, causing mumurs to arise from the class.

Great.

Izuku pratically squealed from excitement as he finally connected the dots. "You're the Erasure Hero, Eraser Head! You can temporarily erase the Quirk of anyone that is in your line of sight! Can I have your autograph?!" And he pulled a notebook and a pen out of... Somewhere, not noticing that his friend next to him was blushing at his friend's fanboying over his dad. It wasn't like Izuku hasn't fanboyed over his dad before, but just seeing him doing it infront of his dad was a whole nother thing entirely .

The rest of the class was still confused on who Eraser Head was.

"Eraser...? I hadn't heard of him before."

"I think I heard of him once on the news..."

"Isn't he an Underground Hero or something? ..."

Aizawa groaned, now activating his quirk on the whole class, scaring them from making any further comments. Ugh, remind him why he took up the job to be a teacher again? Oh right, Nemuri signed him up without his consent... Goddamnit.

"Quiet down already and stop making me use my quirk, I have dry eyes. And... maybe later Midoriya..." Aizawa said grumpily, finally closing his eyes to let them rest for a moment, taking out some eyedrops along the way.

'What a waste of an awesome Quirk!' The whole class collectively thought, still deathly silent.

"Get back to the class Bakugou, we're wasting time." Aizawa said to boy, walking away to prepare for the next event. Be it as it may, the class had already showed him that they had some serious potential already, these next few test are just for him to see them suffer for a bit. He can't help but let a small sadistic smile appear on his face, scaring the already terrified class even further.

Maybe being a teacher wasn't so bad after all...

"Uh... Sensei? Ashido accidentally got her horns stuck in Yaoyorozu's hair..."

God fucking damnit.

SIXTH TEST: SIT-UPS

"Midoriya... Midoriya! You can stop now. Everybody else have already finished."

Izuku, on his 300th sit-up, snapped out his thoughts. His toned, muscular arms being revealed when his sleeves were scunched up on his shoulders "Oh. Oops... Sorry Sensei, kinda blanked out there."

"Whatever, just get up already. We got other tests to do." He said, while sending Izuku back to the gawking class, rubbing his temple along the way.

Aizawa sighed. 'Damn Problem Child...'

SEVENTH TEST: SEATED TOE-TOUCH

"HOW ARE YOU THAT FLEXIBLE?!" The dude with the weird elbows yelled at Izuku, who had already done his test and was doing a split for 'fun' while he was struggling to even straighten his arm all the way to his toes.

"It's just my quirk. Here, I can do this too!" Izuku said while pulling his hand backwards to touch his own arm. Flabbergasting his classmates even more with his demonstration.

"Do you even have bones?!"

"Probably." Izuku said with a shrug, walking away torwards Katsuki and Hitoshi, both were trying their best to not burst out laughing.

Aizawa just gave up on trying to understand Izuku's quirk and proceeded to discreetly slam his head repeatedly into a nearby wall. Sure, Nedzu showed him the boy's file, and Hitoshi kinda explained it to him a while ago, but things just doesn't add up. How can a Quirk just manifest out of nowhere? How can someone be so powerful with such a simple Quirk? And why can't he erase it?

EIGHT TEST: DISTANCE RUN

"Well... It was a good effort Midoriya." The girl with a long black pony tail, who was still sitting on her motorbike, complimented the sweat drenched Izuku that was still gasping for air on the ground.

"At least we now know you still have limitations."

Izuku panted for little bit before speaking again. "Ya know, why did I decide to do an endurance race with a motorbike again?" He stood up slowly, getting his bearings on his now sore legs.

"Because you're an idiot you fucking nerd. Now stand up Deku, you're sweating over my shoes." Katsuki lend Izuku a hand, pulling him up and steadying him.

"Thanks Kacchan, I needed that." Izuku held up a fist and Katsuki's eyes widened, who wasn't really expecting for his friend to initiate anything like that at Katsuki for at least a little while longer.

Katsuki looked at Izuku, looked at Hitoshi, looked at his friend's fist, then sighed, and reluctantly returned a fist bump of his own. "Whatever nerd..." Painfully ignoring the bright smile that Izuku was giving him.

And with that, the Quirk Apprehension test of class 1-A was finally over.

"All right, I won't drag this out any longer, let's quickly announce the results. These are your score from each of the test, summed up. I won't waste my time explaining it, so I'll just show you." Aizawa clicked the device in his hand and a hologram containing everyone's ranking was shown.

Izuku felt pretty proud of the place he got, second place isn't half bad. He was beaten out by the pony tail gir, Momo Yaoyorozu, who seemed to have a creation Quirk of somekind so yeah, wasn't gonna beat that anytime soon. Hitsoshi got a pretty decent ranking despite not using his quirk in the test, landing him in sixteenth place, clearing the danger of being expelled. Katsuki was... Well he got third place, which wasn't that bad, but Izuku can tell that he was not happy with the outcome. At least he wasn't in fourth place, that would've been bad, that honor went to a... Shouto Todoroki? Why does that name sounds so familiar?

"Oh damn, Hagakure..." Someone called out, getting many of the students to glance at the hologram again. They all winced, seeing what rank the student in question got. It was the girl who seems to have an invisbility Quirk of some sort, she cried out in panic, making sounds that seems like she was crying, though nobody knows if any tears were shed.

"Oh and by the way, I was lying about the expulsion thing." Aizawa said casually, silencing the class in an instant with his deadpan delivery.

His mouth then formed into a terrifyingly unsettling grin, mortifying the students even further. "It was a logical ruse to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks."

"EHHH?!" Most of class screamed out from the realization that they just got tricked by their own teacher. Izuku on the other hand, was realizing something else entirely.

'That smile... Where have I... No, no way, no freaking way!' Izuku eyes widened as he connected the dots, every interaction between Hitoshi and Aizawa is making more sense. The moment that Aizawa almost called Hitoshi by his given name, the giant bags that they both shared under their eyes, the unsettling smiles. He glanced at Hitoshi, seeing that Katsuki had also done the same, being the other person who had also seen his shit-eating grin many times before, his expression somewhere between a confused shock and an enraged realization.

Hitoshi looked at the two and also gave them the same grin, now raising their suspicion even more.

Izuku looked like he wanted to know more, but he was interrupted by Aizawa clearing his throat. "With that out of the way, we're done. Your documents about the curriculum and such are in the classroom. Give them a look." He turned and glanced at Katsuki, Izuku and Hitoshi... And fucking, winked at them. Like, 'this-man-apparently-has-a-sense-of-humour' kind of winking.

What the fuck.

"How the fuck is our homeroom teacher your fucking dad Eyebags?!" Katsuki ask, somehow not loud enough for anyone else to hear the conversation between the three of them.

"He's been teaching here longer than I have lived with him Bakagou, I don't even know how he even got this job in the first place. The man has an absolutely distaste for loud obnoxious noises, which is kinda ironic now that I think about it." Hitoshi mused with a quiet chuckle, rembering all the times Shouta opened the door to the shower just to stop Hizashi from singing, heh, those days were fun... Well, whenever he returns that is.

"But... Hitoshi, why didn't you tell me?" Izuku asked, a little bit sad that his friend never even told this to him. He knows that he isn't owed that, but it still kinda stings.

Hitoshi looked almost apologetic before he grinned again. "Sorry Izuku, dads kinda wanted to keep it a secret for as long as they can, you know, being heroes and all that. Thankfully, they allowed me to tell you when we're in U.A, though I would rather have the dandelion over there to not know any of this."

"HUH?! YOU CALLING ME SOFT OR SOMETHING?! I'LL KILL YOU!" The blond growled out, soliciting some glances over to them, but other than that, their classmates were slowly getting desensitize to his personality, and it has only been two hours since meeting the hot headed boy.

"Kacchan, come on." Izuku drawled with a small smirk. "You know he's just kidding, you are literally the opposite of soft, everyone knows that." He laughs good-heartedly, shaking his head in delight between his two friends. He wonders for a very brief moment, if this would've happened if he hadn't been bitten by that spider, but pushed it aside quickly enough.

"Tch. Whatever Deku, you're lucky I find you tolerable..." Katsuki grumpily said, huffing out a puff of air in fake annoyance.

"Really? The great Katsuki Bakugou finding someone else tolerable? You really going soft for Izuku?" Hitoshi said in a hilariously scandalous tone, making Izuku snicker and the blond in question to scowl again.

"You shut the fuck up or I swear I'll shove your own foot up your ass Eyebags." Katsuki said loud enough to be heard by the people nearby before stomping aggressively back to the classroom, Iida was appalled and Momo just has disapproval written in her eyes, clearly not appreciating the unnessary foul language.

"He didn't deny it..." Izuku mumbled inaudibly, a soft grateful smile was on his face as his childhood friend stomped off to their class. Their friendship probably isn't gonna be the same as they used to be when they were kids, but this is probably the next best thing that could've happen to Izuku this year.

'Now, should I go and ask All Might how One For All works?...'

"All Might, why aren't you in the teacher's lounge?" Aizawa asked, his tone still dead as usual.

"Aizawa, you sneaky little liar! 'A logical ruse'? If I remember correctly, April Fool's was last week." All Might said with a teasing voice, not noticing whether or not it was annoying his colleague, which it was. He was wearing an obnoxious yellow pinstripe suit, with a dark blue tie around his neck, turning him into more of an already bright beacon of attention.

"Last year, all the students in your class were expelled. Your reputation of cutting off those that have no potential whatsoever have already proceeded you, my dear friend." All Might chuckled, his boisterous voice still as heroic as ever.

Aizawa sighed. "Their potential isn't zero, I'll give you that. I would've cut off anyone that I deem was hopeless, no use letting them chase the impossible..." His voice turned a little colder, hoping to get this conversation over with.

"Ah, of course. Though I must say, you seem a bit more frustrated about Young Midoriya, care to elaborate on that?" All Might said with a grin, though there was a hint of hesitation that didn't went unnotice by Aizawa. It was strange enough already that the man had went out of his way to watch the students, given the time limit he was on, but to ask about Midoriya specifically without any prompting? Now this was getting suspicious.

Aizawa thought for a moment, before he smirked and put his plan into action. "No, I'll figure him out myself... Though you seem to have an interest in him All Might." The hero flinched a little, his grin turned a bit more nervous, a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead... Huh, that was easy.

"I don't have to remind you that as teachers, we're not suppose to have favourites, it's unprofessional..." Aizawa said, choosing his words carefully to act as though he was reprimanding the man before he walked off, faking ignorance to the visible sigh of relief that went through the Number One Hero.

Heh, seems like he needs to pay close attention to these two then, good, he needed something to pass the time anyways.

Somewhere in a dusty bar

"Is the Noumu ready yet Kurogiri?" A man with light grey hair asked impatiently, his face covered by some sort of human hand while his real hand scratched at his dry pale skin harshly, almost breaking it from how hard he was scratching. All in all, he looked like a Villain.

"The Doctor informed me that it was coming to it's final testing phase, you shall have it in your hands by tomorrow Tomura Shigaraki, plenty of time to gather whatever necessary information you might need." A dark purple mist with bright glowing eyes, now identified as Kurogiri, answered patiently, cleaning down the shot glasses that seemingly just appeared in his hand.

"Ugh, why can't NPCs work faster?! I was promised it by today!" Shigaraki reached a hand to grab a nearby shot glass, putting all five of his fingers on it before leaving nothing else but dust in his hand, angrily slamming it down on the surface of the bar. Although he was feeling grateful enough not to desintegrate part of the bar itself, lifting up his pinky to stop his quirk from activating.

Kurogiri sighed, mentally adding what the boy destroyed to the shopping list for later. "Sensei said that you'll get it when it was done Tomura, be patient and all will go according to plan. Gather whoever or whatever you need for the upcoming attack and we'll plan it on from there, information is the key to all of this, so focus on that." The man said calmly while dusting away the pile of dust infront of him.

"Tch, whatever. I only need those side characters to be cannon fodder, they aren't worth it if you ask me, the Noumu can kill them all easily, especially All Might..."The man grumbled grumpily, now switching to scratching his neck instead.

Kurogiri wanted to argue with the boy before him, but elected to stay silent and just nodded. It wasn't worth the amount of money he would have to spend to replace anything the boy might destroy along the line anyways.

"Very well, Tomura. I'm going to head of for shopping now, would you like anything while I'm out?" The man said while putting down the glass in his hand, moving to put on his coat and scarf.

"Actually, can you get me some Coke?"

"The drug or the drink?"

"What kind of question is that?! Of course the-"

Knock knock knock knock!

The banging coming from the front door interrupted their conversation, causing Shigaraki to growl in irritation and Kurogiri to sigh, pulling off his coat and scarf, smoothing out his uniform and walked torwards the door to greet their new 'visitors'

He opened the door slightly, peeking his misty head out to see who was infront. "May I ask who's there?"

A group of various people in different ungodly costumes, seemingly homemade Villain outfits, stood infront of the old bar. Some of them can clearly be seen to have some sort of a mutation Quirk, with some emitters sprinkle in here and there, maybe even a few transformation types, though it was clear that they all came here with one objective in mind.

"You the one that got a job for us?" A brutish villain asked, his shark like teeth baring a sinister smile, probably as some kind of intimidation attempt.

'Amateurs...' Was all Kurogiri could think off from the selection of Villains before him, not really impress with what he's seeing. It was bad enough that they showed up as a group in broad daylight, but trying to intimidate your potential employer with that pathetic attempt of a grin was such a cliche.

Nonetheless, they were here for a job, who was Kurogiri to deny them of that request? "Of course, please come in. There's someone here that you have to meet." He led them into the bar, all of them smirking in some sort of self-satisfaction.

And if their numbers somehow lessen by the end of their meeting with Shigaraki...

It was just business as usual.

Chapter Text

The exhaustion from the day suddenly caught up to Izuku as he was leaving with two his friends, almost making him stumble over from how quickly it washed over him.

"Jeez Deku, you alright?" Katsuki asked gruffly, preparing to catch the boy from falling if need be.

"Yeah, Are you alright? You look like a zombie. And that's coming from me." Hitoshi asked with concern, putting his hand on the boy's shoulder to steady him.

"I'm okay guys, I'm just feeling really tired... Or hungry, I don't really know anymore, it just kinda mixes together every now and then." Izuku joked, chuckling softly.

"Fucking hell Deku, don't you have some snacks or some other shit?" The blond asked gruffly, reaching for his bag for something before he was cut off by a voice.

"You there! Please, may I have a word with you?"

The three turn around and saw...

"Oh, it's you, Iida!" The green haired boy said in surprise, his tone a cheerful one.

"Oh... It's you..." The tired boy said with the enthusiasm of a stick, but nonetheless greeted Iida with a wave of his hand.

"The fuck do you want?! Came here to fucking annoy me with some shitty lecture about some stupid shitty fucking desk?" Katsuki growled out, clearly still agitated with the boy in question.

Iida ignored the hot headed boy and continued anyways. "I'm here to congratulate you guys on doing so well in the test, even though our teacher's threat was an empty one! Especially you Midoriya, you've proven yourself to be a better candidate than myself once more!" Iida said with one hand adjusting his glasses while the other was chopping up and down in eratic movements.

"EH?! Why the fuck are you only saying things about the shitty nerd?! I'm two ranks above you asshole! I'm clearly the better Hero!"

'God, why? Why do you do this? Why do you curse me with his presence? Can't I just go home and pet my cats?'

Izuku sweatdropped at how serious the boy infront of him was treating everything and his friend's response to it. "Iida, I'm not really better than you. I'm sure you can do even better than I do in other situations, your quirk is amazing! My quirk lets me do those kind of stuff, sure, but in exchange for that, I have to focus even more on keeping my strength in check. I may be able use my all in the tests, but I doubt that I can just use that kind of strength on a Villain or in a patrol... Also Kacchan be nice." He said solemnly, his hand rubbing at his chin in thought.

"Whatever, shitty Glasses..." Katsuki grumbled grumpily.

Iida used both of his hands this time to chopped up and down again. "I see! Thank you for the compliment! Though I must admit your quirk is a fascinating one, is it a strength enhancer? I have never seen one with such little modications to the body before!"

Izuku decided to take that as a compliment.

"I assume you mean I don't have that much big muscles? It's understandable, people confuse my quirk to just pure strength sometimes, but it's a bit more complicated than that." Before Iida can question what he means by that, Izuku put one foot onto a nearby wall before fully standing on it and walking around like it was no big deal.

"...Huh." Was all Iida could say, seeing his classmate demonstrate his other ability. Of course, he saw the boy shot some kind of web out of his device that he wore, but he thought that it was just some kind of aesthetic choice. He left the area after the first few minutes and only saw him again when the Zero-pointer appeared to wreck havoc.

"My quirk is named 'Spider'. I can do basically whatever a spider can including but not limited to, the proportional strength of a spider, walking and crawling on walls, invisbility and a... 'Venom Blast'? That's one kinda new for me so I don't exactly know how to use it yet." Izuku said with a shrug, now jumping down from the wall with a flip.

"God you're so fucking extra, did you need to do a flip?" Katsuki asked with a barely hidden smirk, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Hey, I'm not the one who exploded a ball so hard that his arms got spasms. Don't think I didn't notice Kacchan." Izuku sassed while simultaneously chiding his friend, hiding his upset about him almost injuring himself.

"Tch, Whatever. I gotta show all those other extras who's the real boss in this class is anyways." Katsuki responded with a huff, not looking at his friend. Truthfully, his arm was starting to piss him off way more than he expected, he used way too much force on that ball throw, guess that's what he gets for using both hands at full force. Now, the logical thing would've been to go to Recovery Girl to heal it or some shit like that, but then he had to admit to himself that he got hurt in a physical test, so fuck that. Besides, not like he couldn't handle it or anything, all he need was to go home, avoid his hag if possible, get some rest and dinner, and sleep... And maybe pet the shit out of his dog somewhere in between.

"Hey! Are you four going to the station yet? Wait for me!" A cute bubbly voice called out.

Everyone turn around to see Uraraka running torwards them with her arms spread to her side, the pitter patter of her feet audible before she came to a halt infront of the four students.

"Uraraka!" Izuku yelped, internally screaming at the cute run she did to get to them.

"Ah, you're the infinity girl." Iida stated bluntly, a bit surprised at the sudden appearance of someone else.

"Sup."

"Eh? Why are you here Round Face? Came to oggle at Deku?" Katsuki questioned with a mischievous grin, making the boy in question blush.

"R-Round Face? My name's Ochako Uraraka! And he's Tenya Iida, he's... Um... Shinsou? You're Kacchan Bakugou and you're Deku Midoriya, right?" Uraraka asked innocently, making Izuku choke on his own spit, Hitoshi to roll on the ground laughing and for Katsuki to actually short circuit from her words.

"Um... Did I say something wrong?"

"HAHAHAHAHA! No, it was fucking perfect! Isn't that right Kacchan~ BWAHAHAHAHA!" Hitoshi continued to cackle as the blond slowly but surely came back online, processing what Uraraka just said and began to glare at Izuku.

"This is your fucking fault Deku." He said simply, danger clearly radiating around his aura.

"Uh... Oops?"

"So wait, you're not Kacchan And Deku then?" Uraraka asked curiously, tilting her head slightly in adorable confusion.

Seeing his opening, Izuku took the chance to answer her question to avoid the burning glare that could've bore holes into his head if they wanted from Katsuki. "No. Well, yes, but they're just nicknames. My name's Izuku and his is... Well... I'll let him say it."

"I'TS KATSUKI AND YOU BETTER DAMN REMEMBER IT ROUND FACE!"

"Right, and Deku is just what he calls me for... fun, it used to be an insult but he doesn't mean it anymore. We're friends now!" Izuku said while Katsuki hid his grimace. He really hated remembering what he used to be like in middle school torwards the nerd, not like forgetting them will make the situation any better or anything... But what's done is done, he can't change any of that even if he wanted to, he can only hope that things doesn't turn out like before, that one's on him.

"An insult?! How can you say that to Midoriya, Bakugou?! Isn't he your friend?!" Iida said with a both of his hands on his hip, like a teacher scolding a student. Iida himself didn't have that many of a friend group, but he was pretty sure that friends doesn't use insult to refer to each other... Or use that much profanity to describe a table.

"Can it glasses." Katsuki said gruffly, wanting to avoid the topic before even more memories gets resurface. Goddamnit, this thing should be what Deku worries about, not him! Stupid guilt...

"Wait, so does that means 'Kacchan' is an insult too?" Uraraka asked again, this time a bit more curious than confuse. 'Kacchan' seems to be too much of a cute name for it to be an insult, especially coming from Midoriya.

A faint blush appeared on Izuku's face. "Well... It's not an insult, it's just what I've been calling him since our childhood. Because..." He mumbled out the last part, seemingly embarrassed about something.

"Huh? What did you sa-"

"The nerd can't spell my fucking name is what he's trying to say." Katsuki said, sensing the opportunity to get back some petty revenge from his friend for accidentally making other people think his name is something as cutesy as that.

"Wait really?" Hitoshi snapped out of his laughing fit, now intently listening to what the blond was saying. He has been trying to ask Izuku for two years now on why he would still call Anger Issues the same nickname for ten years, and that was the reason? You gotta be kidding him right?

"T-That's not true!"

"Oh yeah? Then say my name Deku." Katsuki demanded, turning everyone's attention back to Izuku, who gulped nervously.

"Okay okay... I'm doing it... Katchuki- No, Katchuki... Katju- Kau.... Kacchan." Izuku said in embarrassement, hiding his face in his hands from how flustered he was getting.

Uraraka giggle uncontrollably, finding the scene before her too cute to describe. "Awww, it's true!"

"It's okay Midoriya! I too have once have trouble with saying someone else's name, you don't need to force yourself to say it if it's not in your list of abilities." Iida assured Izuku with too much enthusiasm for the boy's liking for something like this,

"How old were you when you had trouble saying a word?" Izuku asked, spreading one of his fingers to look at Iida pleadingly.

"..."

"Iida?"

"... Five, but that's beside the point I'm trying to make." Iida started to explain, but it just cause Izuku to groan out even more. Things couldn't possibly get more embarrassing for him could they? At least he has Hitoshi on his side.

"Hitoshi, help me! They're ganging... Wait, what are you doing?"

Hitoshi not so subtly stop the recording on his phone before putting it back into his pocket. "Oh nothing you'll be interested in, just some future entertainment is all." He gave a his friend a shit-eating grin, earning himself some annoyed groans, fantastic. It was only a few seconds later, that he remembered that there were other people here that might recognise his smile and compare it with a certain someone.

Shit.

"Hey you do a pretty good impression of Aizawa-sensei! I can hardly tell a difference!" Uraraka complimented excitedly, now giggling at Hitoshi.

"I must say she's right, your smile is eerily similiar. Great job!"

Nevermind then.

"Dumbasses..." Katsuki grumbled inaudibly, rolling his eyes in a 'i-can't-believe-this' manner.

"Sure... That. I'm totally pretty good at impressions, but Izuku over here is excellent at it." Hitoshi nudged at Izuku, remembering his All Might impression that he showed him a while back. He was still surprise at how Izuku could deepen his voice to resemble the Hero though, it was like he had the honor to meet the man in person or something.

"Nooooo! Stop! You killed me already!" Izuku complained in complete indignation, his face as bright red as a tomato, speed walking a little bit faster than the group with him, earning himself some loud laughter from the group, even Katsuki and Iida were seen smiling. Truthfully, behind his flusterness and all that, he couldn't help but feel a little bit more happy with how things turns out today. U.A was turning out to be better than he had expected, and he has possibly made two new friends today, so that was a plus aswell!

'I can't wait to tell mom!..."

Later that night.

"Come on Izuku, just call him already..." Izuku mumbled while his thumb hovered over the call button, with the name 'ALL MIGHT' in big bold letter written on the top of the number. There wasn't anything wrong with calling the Number One Hero at this hour, it was actually pretty early to be honest, the man probably just came home right now, so why can't he just push the goddamn button?

Before Izuku can come into a final decision, the phone in his hand rang out, the number that he was about to call anyways appearing on his screen... Huh, well that's convenient. He shrugged before answering All Might's call.

"Heya All Might, how are you?" Izuku asked while tinkering with the smaller web-shooters that he brought today, he was sure that he adjusted them to fit but they somehow had gotten looser? And it almost seem like it was disassembled and reassembled again, though if someone did acomplish that, he'd be more impressed than angry, that stuff is hard as heck to assemble half of it, not even mentioning all the circuitry and the other techy stuff.

"Hello Young Midoriya, I'm doing quite well, thank you for asking. Anyways, I want to ask you how you feel about your first day at U.A, did it went well?" There was a bit of a chuckle added to the end All Might's question, though it was cut short by the loud coughs that accompanied it.

"Jeez All Might, are you sure you're alright? We could do this later when you feel better ya know." Izuku pouted at his phone, wondering if the man had been taken care of himself as much as he should.

"I'm alright my boy, my throat just got itchy for a moment. Don't let an old man's health concern you too much." All Might said reassuringly, hoping to get the boy's mind off of things.

"All Might, you know I can't do that, I'm suppose to be a hero ya know, it's my job to concern about everyone's well being. Besides, you're not an old man. Anyways, U.A was all I could hope for and more! Though our homeroom teacher was a bit... Strange." Izuku paraphrased lightly, now feeling really weird talking about his friend's dad... Who is also their teacher and who lives with Hitoshi everyday... Yay.

"Ah yes, you're in Aizawa's class. I met the man a few times this year, his teaching ethics is... Peculiar, but I can't blame him for it's efficiency. It's a miracle that he has a full twenty students this year. Did you know he has the highest expulsion rate of any teacher at U.A?"

Izuku paused for a moment, processing what he just heard. "Hold up, you mean to tell me... HIS THREAT WAS REAL?!" He yelled a bit louder then he expected, startling his mother down the hall.

"Izuku? Are you alright?" Inko called out worriedly, putting her tea down on the table.

"Er, I'm fine Mom! Just talking to my friend on my phone!" Izuku said, mentally high-fiving himself for not using a stupid excuse this time.

"Oh! Okay sweetie, enjoy your phone call then! Tell them I said hi!" Inko said cheerfully before picking up her tea and focusing her attention back to the news on the television.

"My mom said hi. So, back to what I was saying, his threat was real?!"

All Might chuckled at the boy's pureness and interaction between his mother, it reminded him sometimes of when Nana used to come over and forcibly drag Gran over for dinner, those days were nice. "Yes my boy, you could say that. He would expel anyone he deemed to have no potential whatsoever, and it seems like your whole class impressed him, congratulations!"

"Oh god I could've failed." Izuku said in frightened realization.

"Oh you were fine Young Midoriya, I've seen your ranking. Second place is fantastic! Besides, you've got me on your side! Oh, that reminds me, do you have a feel for One For All yet?"

Huh, right on topic.

"Actually, I didn't have the chance to use it at all during the test. Mostly because I don't know how to activate it yet, and also I was kinda nervous that I'd be injured or something, ya know, new Quirk and all that." Izuku explained, his hands moving on to check on his bigger web-shooters to see if there's anything he can modify or fix.

All Might chuckled comfortingly. "I understand Young Midoriya, it's alright to be nervous. I was too when I first tried to used One For All. After my master's same speech about how it might blew my arms out, I was kinda reluctant to use it too. Luckily, I was able to control One For All almost instanly, I got a couple sprains here and there but nothing too major. Although I did have a very different body type then yours right now, so the results may vary." He added in warning manner, though it did help ease Izuku's worry somewhat.

"That's actually the other reason why I'm calling you Young Midoriya, Recovery Girl and I want to test what you're capable of early tommorrow morning. Maybe at five or six in the morning if you're up for it, and don't worry, Recovery Girl knows about One For All and your... Other Quirk too, she's the one who's been treating since my time at high school afterall."

Izuku thought for a moment, before answering again. "I'm okay with that honestly, it's probably better than letting me figure it out on my own anyways. I think I can arrive at six, where should I meet you?" Izuku took out a sticky note and a pen.

"At the gym near Recovery Girl's office, thank you for agreeing to this my boy, even though it's kind of a bother."

"It's okay All Might, I can deal with it. So is that all you need from me?"

"Well, actually... You'll need to meet with the Principal after we're done, and he'll also be there to monitor you too."

He's meeting who now?

A few hours earlier, near Bakugou's house.

Katsuki was this close to getting home, just a few more mintues and he'll be good to go... But life always had something to fuck up his peace and quiet.

"HA! Look at this weak little twerp! He's so ugly!" A scratchy, obnoxious voice that claws on Katsuki's ears called out in a dark alleyway, followed by a bunch of laughing from some brats... And a painful yelp of an animal of some kind... The fuck?

He quickly walked torwards the alley, poking his head to see what the fuck was going on. A bunch of brats, probably ten or eleven year olds, were standing around a cardboard box, all holding sticks and taking turns whacking whatever the fuck was inside, laughing at every yelp was return at them. Katsuki's rage almost made him blew over there and teach them a lesson himself, but then someone else spoke up, someone he hasn't notice the first time.

"G-Guys?! P-Please stop! Y-You're hurting it! Let it be!" A frightened boy, with deep dark hair said nervously, his eyes were covered by the front tuff of his hair, though Katsuki can tell that they were displaying one thing without even seeing them. Fear.

"You shut up! I don't have to listen to you! I can do whatever I want with this thing, I found it first! Why should I care about how it feels?" The boy, who seems to be the leader of the group, sneered while whacking the thing even harder with the rod in his hand, causing it to scream out and the remaining boys to laugh again.

"S-Stop that! I WON'T LET YOU HURT IT ANYMORE!" The dark haired boy yelled in frustration, trying to pry the rod out of the bully's hand, but his efforts were fruitless as the rod just retracted into the bully's hand, making him lose his balance and fall face down onto the concrete. The bully laughed mockingly, changeing his target from the thing in the box to the boy on the ground, revealing the rod again and hitting him on the head multiple times.

Katsuki winced, now feeling that this was his time to intervene. "OI! The fuck are you brats doing here?!" he growled furiously, stomping torwards the group.

The bully looked alarmed for a moment, turning around to see Bakugou standing there, scowling before smiling devilishly and pointed torwards the boy on the ground. "He attacked us out of no where and tried to kill that animal in the box! Don't worry, we stopped him before he managed to do anything! He's nothing but a Villain! Isn't that right, boys?" He turned torwards the other boys, who nevously nodded in agreement, seemingly afraid of the boy after he showed he was willing to hurt other people aswell.

"Oh really? What's your Quirk brat?" Katsuki growled dangerously, causing some of the other kid to step back slowly, though the bully was either too dense to notice or he was so full of himself that he forgot what common sense was.

"It's really cool! I can summon any handheld mele weapons out of my hands and use it! I can only summon things that I have already held before though, like a stick or a metal pipe! After I'm done, it retracts into my hand again! Pretty cool right? It's perfect for being a Hero!" The boy said proudly, only now noticing that Katsuki was crouching in front of the boy, shielding the kid that was on the ground from view with the most animalistic grin he has ever seen on his face, causing him to flinch back violently and fall straight onto his ass.

"Really? But you look a lot more like a Villain than he does." Katsuki jabbed his thumb to the boy on the ground, who was confused from the situation infront of him. The blond was still grinning, his voice filling the bully with a sense of dread and an undertone of being in danger.

"W-What? But I didn't do anything!" He tried to excused, crawling backwards in fear torwards the group.

Katsuki chuckled darkly, his hands crackling with tiny, but loud explosions. "Yes you did fucker, I saw it all. You see my uniform? I'm in U.A's motherfucking Hero course dumbass! I can spot a Villain from a mile away! Good thing too, I need some practive with capturing one, maybe you can be it?!" At that point, the bully just started to bawl his eyes out, a wet spot can be seen spreading from his shorts while he ran away crying for his mommy, followed by all the other terrified kids.

The kid on the ground slowly stood up, holding his head in a careful manner, still kinda disoriented from being whacked on the head. He looked at Katsuki as the blond turned around, both of them staring at each other for a moment before the older of the two of them held out a hand in a somehow gentle but rough manner.

"They're gone brat. You and whatever it is in that box's safe now... Does it hurt anywhere else?" Katsuki asked, pulling off his backpack.

The boy looked at him in confusion for a bit before answering. "Uh... K-Kinda? My head hurts and my hands kinda sting..."

"Tch." He pulled out a food bar, a bottle of water and some bandaids out of his bag. "Eat this, wash your damn hands and face with that before it get infected or whatever and then put this on." Katsuki said gruffly, holding the items out for the bot to take, which he did, although a bit reluctanly and did what the older boy told him to do.

Katsuki took a glance into the box to see... A puppy? What is it with him and meeting dogs?! He bend down to take a closer look, to say the dog was small was an understatement, it was tiny, even more so than Bastard, like he could cup them with just the palm of his hands. It's fur were muddy, filled to the brim with grime and other shitty stuff, probably hiding it's true fur colors underneath all that dirt. It was standing on only three of it's leg, limping while the fourth one was curled up, probably sprained or worse from the beating the brats gave them. He got in closer and the dog looked up, his tiny body shaking in fear, which did horrible things to Katsuki's heart but he pushed that aside, he reach in and started to slowly and gently... Pet the little rascal.

.

.

His hands may smell like shit when he gets home, but seeing the little puppy's tail wag from side to side, even for just a little, was fucking amazing.

"I think he likes you." The kid said, still eating the food bar that Katsuki gave him.

"Whatever brat, you feeling well yet?" The blond said in fake annoyance, still petting the little puppy, who has moved on to licking his palm and wagging it's tail even harder, despite the pain it might be feeling in it's leg. Damn it, that's gotta be treated soon.

'... I'm really fucking doing this aren't I.' He thought with a sigh, rubbing the puppy's belly now.

"Yeah, I'm better... Thank you mister..."

"Whatever. I'm fucking going... And I'm taking this with me." Katsuki said while picking up the small box containing the puppy, which startled it and made it fell over again. He started to walk away from the alley but before that can happen...

"Wait! You're in U.A's Hero course right?! Do you... Do you think someone as weak as me can be a Hero?..." The boy asked sheepishly, closing his eyes and clutching tightly at the brim of his shirt.

Katsuki halted in his track and stayed silent for a long while, it was only for a few minutes but it felt like an enternity for the two of them. The boy almost asked the explosive blond to forget about what he just said, but Katsuki finally, spoke up again, his tone unusually soft and kind.

"Don't know why you're asking me kid... You can do whatver you want to do, fucking be a hero if that's what you want."

"Even if I'm Quirkless?"

.

.

.

.

"... Like I said kid, be a fucking hero if you want to be... But you don't need to listen to me or anyone for that matter, do whatever the fuck you think is right and never give them the satisfaction of being the one to bring you down, prove to them that you're gonna be the fucking best out of all of them and show them what you can do... I'll see ya later kid."

And with that, Katsuki walked off, trying to not smile at the sounds of crying happiness that filled the whole alley behind him, rather focusing on the puppy that needed his help. His hag is gonna pester him non-stop about this shit, but he honestly could give two shits to what she have to say, today was an exhausting one and he can focus on what he just did later.

Back in the alleyway, the kid wipe at his eyes bawling eyes, revealing two deep shade of purple that can almost be mistaken for black, his messy head of deep dark purple hair glistening in the sun light, covering one of his eyes while he continues to cry tears of joy, a small hopeful smile gracing his freckled filled features. And in the years onwards, those word would be what Mikumo Akatani would forever cherish and keep close to his heart.

Chapter Text

Izuku woke up at about four thirty in the morning, about thirty minutes sooner than his alarm, feeling like he hasn't slept at all, which is understandable considering that he can barely get a wink in until two o'clock. His thoughts were just swirling around too much about one thing, why the heck does the Principal of freaking U.A want to meet him?!

'Is it because I destroyed that Zero-pointer's arm? But U.A can fix that easily right?... Right? I mean, I'm sure there's a ton of people in the Support course that can have that fix in no time!... Or was that Zero-pointer their life's work and I just damaged their favourite one and the Principal wanted to inform me that I'm expelled and that I'll never be a hero again and I'll have to deliver pizza for a job and also run a part-time job as a photographer for a newspaper article!... Okay maybe not that last part in particular, but my point still stands.'

Izuku sighed and sit up on his bed with a tired groan, letting out an audible yawn, before slowly but surely standing on his two legs with a stretch from his arms. He shouldn't be overthinking this anyways, All Might himself assured him that it'll be alright so what's there to worry about right?

"God I need some coffee..." He started to shuffle torwards his bathroom, taking a glance at the his original costume sketch that was taped on his bedroom wall to act as a reminder of sorts.

Now, there wasn't anything inheritly bad with his original choice for a Hero costume... That he made as a child, but Katsuki and Hitoshi pointed out kindly (more so the former than the latter), that it was ugly as heck. So he started from scratch with a new design aimed more torwards the 'Spider' aspect of his Quirk, which is what he probably should've done the first time through.

Wait, what was he worried about again?

Oh right. Principal.

"Welp, here goes nothing." Izuku said to no one but himself as he close the bathroom door, mentally bracing himself for what's to come.

All Might, stood in his civilain form at a corner near the school, patiently waiting for Izuku to arrive while listening to some good old american music. Nedzu himself recommended these to him and he must say, they have quite a catchy tune. He never would've figure that Nedzu would have a taste for something as old as these, but the more you know. Though he did find it weird how Yamada turned paler and ran away when he said that Nedzu was the one who told him about them, what a shame, the man looked so excited at first when he found out about it too.

"...please tell us why. You had to hide away for so long..." He hummed along happily, tapping his feet to the beat and snapping his fingers every now and then. Not noticing that Izuku has arrived and was looking at his hero in amusement.

"So you seems to be enjoying yourself." Izuku spoke up loudly and suddenly, causing All Might to yelp hilariously before he recognised who was infront of him, a faint blush appearing on his gaunt features.

"Ah Midoriya my boy, I... Didn't see you coming..." All Might somehow said shyly, if that was even possible for such a boisterous Hero, but then, Izuku knew nothing about the man's more personal details on his life so he can't judge. That, and he used to be considered a shy crybaby so he wasn't any better.

"Hi All Might, good to see you too!" Izuku said with a grin, giggling good-heartedly.

All Might chuckled before clearing his throat. "Ahem, yes, you too Young Midoriya. Though please don't sneak up on me in the future."

"Maybe, can't make any promises though."

He laughed again, ruffling the boy's messy head of hair. "Cheeky. Now, let's go inside shall we? We wouldn't want Recovery Girl to wait any longer than she has to." He ushered the still giggling boy in, careful to check his surroundings to see if anyone have spotted them yet. Luckily, there seems to be no one around to witness anything that they shouldn't.

And as they both walk into the school, they were blissfully unaware of a certain Underground Hero looking at them with disappointment in his eyes. I mean, he was literally standing on the roof a few houses down All Might, you're suppose to be a Heroics teacher in charge of a bunch of rambunctious teenagers, be more observant.

"Great now that you two are here, we can start the testing Midoriya's capabilities shortly. Is there anything you want to say before we begin dearie?" Recovery Girl asked, her voice kind and soft.

"Yes, uh... I... Don't really have a feel for One For All yet... How do I even do this? I mean, I can use my spider powers easily enough, but One For All is just so hard to activate."

"Ah, that's easy Young Midoriya! Just do what I told you to do!" All Might turned into his hero form with his iconic grin. "CLENCH YOUR BUTTCHEEKS, AND WITH ALL YOUR HEART, YELL SMASH!" He punch his fist up the air, rattling the vents and the wires that were a bit loose with the air pressure.

Recovery Girl tutted at his antics and whacked the man's shins with her syringe cane, which from what the Hero's expression told, hurt.

"Stop using your power just to all willy-nilly like that, your time limit is already as short as it is, turn back. Also, that silly advice is gonna get him hurt in the long run Toshinori." She scolded with a shake of her head, clearly exasperated from dealing with the Number One Hero.

"I- Ahem- I just wanted to help... It always worked out for me..." All Might said sadly, twidling with his thumbs.

"Wait, what do you mean it'll hurt me in the long run?" Izuku asked in confusion, not really seeing the problem with All Might's advice... Except maybe the part about 'clenching his buttcheeks'... That probably needed some mind bleaching in the future to get the image of All Might flexing his ass out of his mind now...

Recovery Girl sighed, clearly annoyed at having to explain herself. "What I mean, is that. You. Aren't. All Might" She put an emphasis on those word, poiting her cane at Izuku now, which was terrifying for the boy. "You may be the successor to his title and all that junk, but you have another set of powers that needs to be in tune with One For All as well, you can't just use two of them as seperate Quirks, they are both apart of you now and they're not going anywhere anytime soon." She explained with a huff.

Izuku... Izuku didn't really think of that. Don't get him wrong here, he theorized a fuck-ton about how he can use One For All in tandem with his other quirk, but he mostly just wrote about how many more other positions he can punch someone in now that he's flexible, there's some bits here and there like, he can probably use his bio-eletricity with One For All so that he can get superpowered taser punches as well or enhace his spider-sense even more, but after that there's not much creativity.

"Thanks Recovery Girl, I hadn't really think about using my quirks like that! There's so much I can do with both of them but I mostly just focused on punching stuff!" Izuku said excitedly, a new rush of firery determination washed over like a tsunami, filing his head with new ideas.

Recovery Girl sighed again, although this time she had a smile on her face. "No problem dearie, I'm a part-time Quirk Counsellor and Nurse at the hospital whenever I'm not needed in here, I used to be a lot more active back in the day before I joined this school though. Nowadays, I only arrive whenever there's not enough hands or there's an emergency that's my Quirk is needed for." She chuckled fondly, specifically remembering all the little kids and their bright smiles whenever she complimented their quirks, it was really fulfilling at times.

"Alright, let's get on with the tests. First, tell me, did you felt anything strange the pass few days after you inherited One For All?"

"I think I got a few ideas now dearie, can you close your eyes for a moment?" Recovery Girl asked politely, searching for something in her pocket.

Izuku was just politely going along, closing his eyes. Though the tingling at the back of his head is kinda worrying to be honest, but Recovery Girl wouldn't do anything to bring physical harm to him... Right?

"TARGET LOCKED. ATTACK MODE ENGAGE. DIE HERO SCUM!"

Crap.

Izuku opened his eyes just in time to see ten Three-pointers charging torwards him with malice in their red mechanical eyes, dodging over three of them with one leap, instictively pushing the palm of his hand to web them up, only to remember that he took his web-shooters off in fear of destroying them during the testing. He groaned in frustration, landing on a nearby wall to avoid landing in the middle of the raging terminators.

"Recovery Girl?! Isn't this a little bit extreme?! WHERE DID THEY EVEN COME FROM?!" Izuku asked in irritation, jumping out of the way of the multiple missiles that were coming his way.

"I have to agree Chiyo! This is not like you at all!" All Might looked torn between jumping in to help the boy and letting the test continue on, pulling at the two front tuffs of his hair in frantic nervousness.

Recovery Girl meanwhile looked mortified while the chaotic sceen before her kept going on. "I was about to activate the tennis ball turrets! Not this!" But before she can scramble to get something to shut the robots down, the speakers turned on with a crackle.

"Please don't Chiyo. It's just little ole' me, I was just giving the boy a push in a necessary direction." The voice said sweetly, bordering on sheer amusement at the carnage that was playing out.

"Is this really the best time Nedzu?" She sighed, still wondering whether or not to listen to the man.

"Of course! Life threatening situations always brings out the absolute best results in people! Especially when they least expect it!" A maniacal laugh followed, ringing througout the whole room.

"Nedzu sir, you tink that this can make the boy active One For All?" All Might asked, a genuine curious expression spreading on his features, now forgetting the yelps and the sounds of metal clanking together behind him.

"Oh I don't just think Toshinori, I know." The maniacal laughter turned into a polite chuckle, though it still continued longer than it should.

Izuku was beginning to get impatient now, what with all the murderous robots chasing him and everything."I don't mean to be rude and interrupt the delightful conversation that you guys are having, but how the hell is this suppose to help me?!" He said as he ripped off one arm of one the robots that he has been wailing on for a while and used that to backhand the two that was sneaking up behind him, sending them flying into a nearby wall, creating small craters from where they landed.

Izuku smirks to himself, before it turned into a frown again as the two just jumped back out and started charging him again, with no significant damage done to their bodies. "Seriously?! I don't remember these guys being that tough before!" He dodge out of the way again, jumping straight up and making the two collide with the missiles that was fired behind him. The flames engulfed them completely, but out of the smoke, they just kept on chasing him nonstop without leaving him a room to breathe.

"That's because I have upgraded them for this occasion! That and I used the verion that is reserved for Third-year Hero students, but that doesn't matter that much. What does matter, is how you're gonna defeat them Mr. Midoriya. These robots can withstand a lot of things that you throw at them, but the power of All Might is not one of them." He said matter-of-factly, like that would explain anything.

Izuku rolled his eyes. "Yes, that helps a lot for me who does not know how to even freaking use the thing. How can I even concentrate on doing that while these rustbuckets are busy busting my ass?!" He punched one incoming robot with an electrified fist, making it red eyes fade to a dull color and it's movement to completely halt for a moment, which he was overjoyed to see that it worked, but then his hopes were crushed as it turned back on again and smacked him away full force into a wall, disorienting him.

"Damn that hurt." He shooked off his some of his disorientation, getting into a fighting stance again as the voice continued speaking.

"Hmmm, that's a good point that you're making here Mr. Midoriya. Maybe you need some other form of motivation!" Then, all of them, halt their barrage of attacks against Izuku and turned around, which confused the hell out of the boy until he noticed who they were aiming at.

"RECOVERY GIRL! LOOK OUT!"

"TARGET LOCKED. LETHAL ATTACKS ENGAGED. I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" They all rushed torwards the shocked Heroine, who didn't know what to do at the sudden drastic action that Nedzu just took.

All Might frantically changed into his hero form, about to rush to the Heroine's aid before a powerful rush of wind ran past him. All he could see was a green blur before dust shot off the ground, obscuring his vision. He blew the dust away with a powerful clap, getting him a clear scene of the show that was about to play out.

"LIKE HELL I"LL EVER LET YOU EVEN TOUCH HER YOU BUNCHA TINHEADS!" An angry voice yelled out, replacing the once kind one of Izuku, bright veiny lines glowed lightly on his arm, slowly spreading and tearing off pieces of his sleeve from how powerful his muscles were tensing up, the air grew heavy with raw power radiating around the area that surrounded all of them.

"NOW FUCK OFF." He drew his fist back, his entire arm glowed heavy with with magenta veins, his whole sleeve was destroyed completely as All Might and Recovery Girl stood with their mouths agape from how the boy was acting, he seems so... Furious.

"SMAAAAAAAAASH!!!" And once he threw the punch, every single one of the Fake Villains just crumbled to junk as the sheer force that was Izuku tore them apart with just one move, explosions rang out from where they once stood, leaving nothing behind but smoke, scraps and fire.

"GAAAHHH!" Izuku screamed out in incredible pain, looking down at his arm to see that it was injured all over with cuts and bruises, hanging limply at his side, most likely broken if how every single movement of the arm was yelling at him to stop was any indication.

"Young Midoriya! Are you alright?!" All Might quickly ran over to the boy, supporting him without moving the boy's injured arm. He had hoped that One For All wouldn't do too much damage to the boy's body, considering that his body was pretty fit for his age, but it seems like that wasn't the case anymore, One For All was much more powerful now that it's been pass on than he has expected.

Izuku panted tiredly. "I'm fine... All Might... I just... Whew boy, I think I need a nap, can I take nap? Should I take a nap? Meh, I'm gonna take a nap..." And with that, he fell unconscious, snoring cartoonishly on All Might's shoulder, who didn't really know what to do in this type of situation.

"Uh... Sleep tight?"

Recovery Girl recovered from her silence, face palming at the man infront of her with horrible problem solving skills. "Bring him to my office, I'll see if he need some rest before I can heal him properly." She lead the Hero who was carrying the boy so tenderly in his arms, like a father carrying his son.

Recovery Girl would've chuckled at her comparison, if she didn't have to worry about other stuff in her mind right about now. She doesn't care if it cost her her job here, she's gonna have a few choice words with Nedzu for his reckless decisions later, after she's done with healing the boy of course, but after that, Nedzu's gonna have some explaining to do.

The chimera smiled politely as he cut-off the camera feed, sipping at his warm tea. "That was great Mr. Midoriya, I knew that you can do it." He put his cup down onto the control that he was using to direct the Fake Villains attacks, he was glad that he decided to add in that final voice line for the robots. Who knew that such words would have such an impact on how Mr. Midoriya reacted?

He would never actually add and allow lethal attacks for the Pointers of course, that would be just an idiotic choice to make in general, there are so many things that could've gone wrong with the machinary and the programming for Nedzu to make the choice to add in that as a feature for the robots. Besides, the voice line was enough for Midoriya to finally activate One For All, he'd call that a major win.

Though it seems like he did owe an apology for Recovery Girl, which he would gladly do of course. After all, he did involve her in his experiments without her permission. But first...

"I believe you have a lot of question that you want to ask Mr. Aizawa? Please come to my office and we'll have a chat." Nedzu said politely into his mic that was still connected to the gym, turning on his camera feed just in time to see the man in question slither out the vents, slowly climbing down with his capture weapon in hand, staring directly into the camera with the grumpiness that could be compared to one of the old cat pictures on the internet.

The chimera giggled, this was all going so nicely.

Chapter Text

Izuku woke up groggily, not entirey sure of where he is. "Ugh, what happened?... Where am I?... Did I hit myself with a sledge hammer again?" He asked to himself while blinking rapidly, trying to adjust his eyes to get use to the brightness of the room, the overwhelming smell of sterile chemicals filled his nostrils as his senses restarted, making him wince in uncomfortness.

"Christ, how long was I out for?" He sat up on the bed he was currently on, slowly recalling the events that just happened earlier. Let's see, he was definitely in a big gym with Recovery Girl and All Might to try to find out how to activate One For All, then some mysterious voice sent out some murderous robots to attack him and he gracefully defeated them without a sweat... Okay maybe the soreness on his ribs would disagree on that. Anyways, then they turned to attacked Recovery Girl and he...

"Holy crap I actually used One For All!" Izuku whispered yelled excitedly before slapping his mouth shut, trying not to make too much noise at what he can only guess is Recovery Girl's office, which was only logical if he was knocked out.

"I wonder if I can..." He closed his eyes shut, the small familiar ringing returned while he focused with all his might on... Well, something, he wasn't sure what he was actually focusing, but boy did he found it.

He can feel the massive thrum of energy that was One For All beating inside of him, swirling around like a vortex of lightning and thunder, feeling his body thrash around into this sensation of sheer absolute power. It was almost... Addictive, in a strange kind of way, like that day when he first swung with his web-shooters, the first time that he has ever felt such a rush of... Well, everything. Granted, he did jump off a really tall building without actually knowing if he would survive or not, but the details weren't that important.

He can feel his arms slowly covering itself in the Venom Blast again, it crackled through the air, this time however, it never felt more powerful than it was at that moment. It felt like he had control over the freaking storms themselves if he wanted to, it was awesome!

Izuku wonders for a brief moment if this is what being All Might felt like, the bigger than life imposing figure that Villains fear, the hopeful symbol that everyone looks up to...

"Whew boy, I got a long way to go don't I?" He chuckled softly to himself, deactivating his venom blast and opening his eyes again to the bright room, only now noticing the disgruntled stare of someone who was looking very tired at the door.

Izuku eyes widened comically as he slowly but surely recognized who was standing infront of him, along with the smiling Youthful Heroine and the Symbol Of Peace, who looked like he just got out of an intense scolding session with whoever he was with, but was still making an attempt to look at Izuku with proudness shown in his eyes..

"Problem Child..." Aizawa grumbled inaudibly, letting out a mixture between a groan and a sigh, questioning himself about if it was actually worth it to have the talk he just had with Nedzu a couple minutes ago.

"Erm... I missed something really important didn't I?"

(Oh you have no idea.)

Thirty minutes earlier.

"Just look at the poor dearie Toshinori, he got four bruised ribs, a severely broken arm, and his whole hand is shattered! I don't even want to know what Nedzu was even thinking, there are other ways to get the boy to activate One For All without putting him in that situation, his Heroic classes haven't even started yet and he had to save me!" Recovery Girl huffed irritably, retracting her lips back after healing Izuku, checking over the boy one last time before letting him take a nap in peace.

All Might laughed nervously, trying his best to ease the nurse's anger. "Well... At least he was in a controlled environment?" He added cheerfully, only to wince back at the glare that was returned at him. Turns out, that was not the right thing to say right now.

"There was nothing 'controlled' about that! It was chaos! Not only was that not my original objective of trying to help the boy calmly turned sideways, Nedzu involved me in it without any precautions or warnings! " She scolded the thin man, swapping out to her normal cane to poke the tall, gauntly Hero, who yelped in indignation.

"Futher more, I-" But before she can continue her rant, the same cheerful but polite voice came on the speakers again.

"Hello my dear Recovery Girl! I must apologized for interrupting your lovely conversation and to have involved you in the prior test, but if you don't mind, please come to my office for a moment, you too All Might. There something here that requires your presence. My meeting with Mr. Midoriya can wait another day." The speakers shut off again, getting Recovery Girl to calm down just a little bit, and All Might to breathe a sigh of relief now that she has stopped poiting her cane at him.

The old nurse closed her eyes and breathed out a long sigh, gesturing for All Might to follow her. "Come on Toshinori, let's go have a talk with the rat before the dearie wakes up." She said while the man hurriedly closed the door behind him, wondering why Nedzu would want to talk to him right now, wouldn't it be better to talk with them after Young Midoriya is awake?

'Oh... That's why.' All Might's thought deadpanned as he looked into the uncaring eyes of Shouta Aizawa, AKA, Eraserhead, who looked so done with whatever's been going on.

Nedzu just kept on smiling like nothing was wrong. "I'm sure you already know Mr. Aizawa over here, so let's cut to the chase shall we? What would you like to ask about first Aizawa?" He turned to the man in question, sipping the cup of tea that appeared out of nowhere in his hands.

Aizawa looked at Nedzu, then at All Might, then at Recovery Girl, then at All Might again, before he put his hands together, took in a deep breath, leaned them forward and said seven simple words. "What the hell is One For All?"

All Might looked to Recovery Girl for some help, but to no avail. "Oh don't look at me, he's your boy, not mine. You deal with him." She turned her attention back to her tea, sipping it delightfully next to Nedzu, looking very amused with the situation before her.

He sweatdropped before looking at an impatient Aizawa, gulping nervously before starting his explanation. "Let me tell you a tale of two brothers..."

"...And now Young Midoriya's the ninth holder of this Quirk, and the successor to my title as the World's Symbol of Peace." He finished his story, hoping that Aizawa was satisfied with this and wouldn't question other certain details that he left out. One For All was one thing, but a spider that can give Quirks is not his secret to tell.

Aizawa rubbed at his temples, processing the information that was just given to him. "Let me get this straight," His eyes glowed a bright red, his hair raising partially, startling the other Hero who didn't expect this kind of reaction from him. "You gave your ancient and overpowered Quirk to a kid who just developed his own quirk no less, who you only met for first time might I add, after he recklessly ran into a Villain attack without a care to his well-being..." Aizawa closed his eyes, taking in another deep breath to steady himself on the ridiculousness that was All Might. "And you didn't think to tell me, his Homeroom Teacher, this information?" He asked with narrowed eyes, his hair falling back down to his shoulder.

All Might gulped. "W-Well, it was suppose to be a secret... You can imagine if the media got the information that there was a Quirk out there that can be given down? So I thought it best that the less people that knows, the better, you understand right Aizawa?"

As must as he hate to admit it, the excuse did make some sort of sense. The boy would be served up on a silver platter for the damned vultures and villains if that kind of thing did got out, not to mention all the self righteous heroes who'd pressure the boy into giving it up, thinking that they 'deserved it more' just because they have the Quirk for it. Ugh, this is getting more problematic by the second.

"Tsk, fine. But from now on, I want to be kept in the known in any new developement the kid has, understood?" He stared down the tall man, not leaving a room for him to disagree.

All Might nodded dumbly, not wanting to argue with the man anymore.

Nedzu giggled at the scene before him, taking another sip of his tea before speaking. "That was very entertaining, I thank you for that. But nonetheless, I have something else to discuss too." He opened his drawer, fiddling with something before an audible click can be heard. The top of his desk split open, a misty cold air coming out between them, more mechanical wirrings can be heard until something revealed itself from under the mist, revealing a small jar containing... A dark green spider.

All Might and Recovery Girl gasped in shock, their eyes almost bulging out of their heads, wondering how the hell did Nedzu even get his hands on that thing, leaving Aizawa a little bit confused about what was going on.

"Tell me, Mr. Aizawa, what do you really know about Quirked animals?" The chimera asked cheerfully, picking the jar up and held it in his furry paws, looking at it intriguingly.

'... Godamnit Shouta, what have you gotten yourself into now?' He groaned in his head, mentally preparing himself for whatever the Principal was planning on telling him. It was just his luck that he picked today of all days to go to work early, didn't he? Honestly, he was really starting to get sick of any more explanations, first, it was that stupid One For All Quirk, now this? Next thing you know it, that spider can also give Quirks to people...

Wait just a fucking second-

Now, back at the Nurse's Office.

"-nd that's about it." All Might finished, looking at Izuku who was wearing an expression between, confused, flabbergasted, and understanding all at the same time.

"So... The Principal is actually a dog-rat-bear thing?" Was all that Izuku asked out of the caboodle of nonsense that was swirling around in his head, like, there were so many more things that he could've said but that one stuck out to him for some reason.

"Uh... Yes... Is there anything else you would like to ask?"

Izuku blinked slowly before answering. "No... I think... Maybe... I don't know." He shrugged, making his move to stand up.

"Oh can you stay seated a little bit more dearie? I need to check over for any other injuries one last time." She walked torwards Izuku, bringing with her a cane and some bandages.

Izuku nodded and sat back down, letting the nurse do her job. He looked around and made eye contact with Aizawa, who just stared back, showing no visible emotion.

The stared at each other for a while, feeling the awkwardness build up every second before the older out of the two spoke up first, his gruff voice sounding out in a questioning tone. "Does Hitoshi know?"

Izuku blinked again. "About...?"

Aizawa sighed. "Your quirks, I'm talking about your quirks." He said matter of factly, crossing his arms impatiently

"Oh. Well he only knows about mine, not One For All... I didn't want to tell him yet."

The older man raised an eye brown, signalling that he wanted to know more about his reasons.

"It's not like that I don't trust him! I trust him a lot! He's my friend, my best friend even, It's just- I'm just... I'm scared."

Now that was surprising to both Aizawa and All Might, both now paying a lot more attention to what the kid has to say. Recovery Girl was hearing in also, pretending to be too focus on her work to notice.

Izuku took in a deep breath, and started talking. "It's really silly, I know, but I just can't shake if off of me!" He groaned in frustration. "I mean, my mind just keeps coming up reasons for me not to tell him, like, what if he hates me now that he knows I was given another Quirk on top of an already awesome one and he'll tell how I used to be-... Or maybe he'll just stop talking to me in general. I just... I can't deal with the possibility of that happening." He rubbed at his arm, waiting for Aizawa to tell him that it was a stupid thing to worry about and to move on... But it never came.

What he got was a reassuring hand on his shoulder, while the Hero looked at Izuku with what he can describe, is a fatherly look... Okay maybe that was a weird thing to say about his friend's dad, but it seems appropriate for the situation at hand.

"Midoriya, I assure you with, I can't believe I'm actually saying this, with all my might, that Hitoshi have always considered you his friend since the day you said he can be a Hero with his quirk. Nothing's gonna change his mind about that, not now, not ever. But if you're not ready to tell him, then don't force yourself to do it." Aizawa said from what can only be said is his 'dad' voice, which is honestly so freaking comforting to hear to Izuku. Though he didn't expect to see his teacher to actually crack a pun, guess dad puns are an essential thing.

"Thanks, Aizawa-sensei, I-"

"I couldn't say it better myself Aizawa! Under all that tough, cold exterior, you really are soft aren't ya?" All Might tried to bellow out his boisterous laugh, but it still sounded like a cackle and it resulted in the man coughing up more blood than what can be considered healthy, but then again, coughing up blood was never exactly a good sign.

The green haired boy looked at All Might with a frown. "You seriously need to take care of yourself more All Might, when's the last time you ate?"

The tall man paused, eyeing Recovery Girl nervously before reluctantly answering the boy. "Eh... Last... Morning?"

Let's just say All Might didn't forget his breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few months after that.

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly in Izuku's opinion, both Katsuki and Hitoshi didn't question him on why he was at school so early, so he'd call that a plus. Also, Uraraka greeted him with 'Heya Deku! How you doing?', which he doesn't mind honestly, Kacchan's way of calling him was always... Brash. But now it feels kinda nice to hear someone say it so kindly for once...

Anyways, back on topic. U.A was much less exciting then he expected it to be, which means a lot coming from him. Sure, there are Pro Heroes for every classes, like Present freaking Mic for example, which he obviously followed along with his yell of 'YEAH' this time around and asked for his autograph, which the Hero gladly did dramatically, but still, it was kinda... Underwhelming.

'Oh well, it is what it is I guess.' Izuku thought while sketching out a few more alternate designs for his web-shooters during the five minute break, but he was interrupted by the sudden loud video that came from someone's phone, specifically the one with the elbows that shot out tape.

"Hey, Sero right? Watcha' watchin'?" The pink girl with horns on her head, Mina Ashido asked, leaning over the guy's shoulder to get a better look at what he was watching.

Sero gave her a wide grin, poiting at his phone. "It's just something I recorded a while back, it's still just as cool as it did the first time around. Wanna see?" He held out his phone and pressed play, the screen showing the familiar I-Centre building.

Izuku was pleasantly surprised by this as a few more students leaned in to watch. Sero didn't really look like the type to be interested in science, but Izuku learnt to not judge anyone base on their appearances, he was raised by Midoriya Inko. Gosh this is so exciting! He can't wait to talk to Sero about his thoughts on the technological progress through the yea-

"Yo, that dude's insane! How can he balance himself like that?!" Kaminari said incredulous, a big smile clear on his face

"That dude gotta have balls of steel to even try that! I mean, on the top of the building?! Seriously?! Now THAT'S what I call manly!"

"I know right?! You know that dude who got everyone talking a few months back? Well I got front row seats to that!"

...Oh. So it's not about science after all.

"Hey Izuku, don't know if ya noticed but ah," Hitoshi leaned in closer, whispering really silently. "They might just be talking about you over there." He finished with a quick snicker, trying his best to keep quiet.

"I thought no one got any recording of that! I couldn't find any online!" He whispered nervously, standing up and joining the group of students, blatantly ignoring Hitoshi's grin.

Katsuki was currently too busy thinking up ways to kick everyone's ass during the Heroic classes to notice anything going around him, though he did subconsciously rolled his eyes as Izuku walked past, which was kinda impressive.

"Hey guys, uh... Can I join?"

"Sure dude, you're just in time! The best part's about to come up!"

Izuku scooted to a place where he can see the screen properly, waiting for the moment come... Was the building actually really that tall?

And as surprised gasps can be heard around Izuku as the him on screen slowly but surely, fell as he once did before, he felt as if he was transported back to that day again. He can remember the rushing winds so clearly like it was just yesterday, the ground getting closer and closer by the second as the adrenaline rushed in his veins... God, that was a freaking awesome day.

A soft thwip can be heard on the small screen, along with the voice of Izuku whooping and hollering as he swung pass, doing a bunch of flips and spins in the air with enthusiasm before he swung into a dark alley, never to be seen by anyone else.

"That..."

"Was..."

"MANLY!"

Sero giggled excitedly at all his classmates reactions. "Right?! He's like a freaking gymnast or something! Like, I can't even do half the stuff he did with my tapes! I can swing but all the buncha flips and stuff? Nah dude, ain't happening for me."

"Dude, that could've gotten like, at least a million views! Why didn't you post that?" Kaminari questioned, wondering how someone can waste such an epic opportunity.

Sero shrugged. "Dude was wearing a mask, so if he didn't want anyone to know who he was, what's the point? Besides, this way, only I can enjoy them." He grinned cheekily again, putting his phone back into his pocket.

Uraraka who was watching from behind, raised her eyes in realization. "Hey wait just a sec, Deku isn't that you?" She asked curiously, not knowing that she has just put the boy in an awkward situation. Hitoshi came prepared though, he pulled out his phone and started to secretly record the shit-show that was about to happen.

Iida gasped in offense. "Midoriya! How can you do such a thing in a public area?! It is highly inappropriate for a U.A student to be jumping off buildings!... That came out wrong but you understand what I meant!" He added with a chop of his hands, not helping the situation at all.

Izuku looked on nervously as more eyes came staring at him with calculating gazes, waiting for his answer. "Well... Sero wasn't wrong about the mask thing." He said vaugely, chuckling nervously as they all came to their conclusions.

Sero was the first to speak up, his eyes filling with stars as he looked at Izuku excitedly. "Yo dude, that means you're really him? That's so cool! Can ya teach me how to do stuff like that?"

"Well I-"

"Wait, how'd you even do that anyways, didn't the guy shoot a rope out of his arm? Your quirk is super strength." The guy with big lips, Satou, stated simply while closing his eyes in thought, before hearing a familar thwip and looked up just to see Izuku hanging upside down with one hand.

"... Oh."

"Yeah, I get that alot." Izuku grinned good heartedly before pulling up his sleeve, revealing his usual web-shooters in all their glory. "So let's do this one last time shall we? My quirk is called 'Spider', it lets me do everything a spider can except making any organic webbing of my own. These are my web-shooters," He held one of his hand up to show it to the class, still hanging upside down from the web. " That I designed and made, to help me do things more efficiently. These ones are just my casual ones that I wear, while the one I intend on using in my Hero suit is a bit more bulky than this, but holds a lot more of the web fluid that I also made."

Kaminaru beamed. "Man, those are so useful! You can just grab the TV remote from far away without having to walk to get to it! Or hit the light switch when you're already in bed! Or brush your teeth from bed! Or open the door from your bed!"

Jirou looked at the blond, unimpressed written in her eyes. "Or you could just, you know, do those thing like a normal fuctioning person, but whatever."

Izuku decided to land back on the ground again, easily maneuvering his body like an olypmic gymnast with how much he was bending his joints. He pulled on the web line again and it shot onto the ceiling, stucking it there firmly into place.

"Midoriya! You can't just vandalise the school ceiling like that! Why didn't you just pulled it down?!" Iida asked, seemingly more distressed about that fact.

Izuku shrugged. "It'll dissolve in about an hour anyways, no use wasting time to throw it away."

"Also, that thing can hold up to at about sixty kilograms per square millimeter of cross section, so I'll probably pull out a chunk of a ceiling along with it so.... Yeah... Okay cool." He explained awkwardly as a final thought to Iida, before returning to his seat behind Katsuki, who was now only noticing the stares that was following Izuku.

"The fuck are you fuckers looking at?! FUCK OFF!" The blond yelled, causing everyone to disperse in annoyance to the loud sound. none of them paying any attention to the sounds of propellers activating just outside of their classroom.

Outside, a small camera drone with the pink initials 'H.M' flew back to where it's maker was, who was screaming excitedly something about gathering data and making more babies to very tired looking man in a mech suit, wondering where it all went wrong in his life.

As the whole class sat in anticipation for their afternoon classes, an iconic boisterous voice came from the door.

"I am..."

Here he come, here he comes, here he comes, here he comes!

"HERE! Entering through the door, like a normal person!"

He has arrived!

"It's really All Might!"

"This is awesome, he really is a teacher here!"

"Kero. That's his silver age costume. It looks retro."

"He's so awesome I'm getting goosebumps from just looking at him!"

All Might laughed at all the compliments before striding infront of the board, taking a heroic pose in the process. "I am honored to be here today my young students! I will be teaching you all Heroic Studies, to lay down your foundation as heroes, it will not be easy, but that's why I'm here today!" He flexed his massive muscles, letting his cape flap in the wind.

'Did someone open a window or something?' Izuku snickered at his mentor's act, looking to the window as a joke, only to find that it was indeed open and Present Mic was hiding behind the wall with shifty eyes while holding onto an electric fan with one hand, trying his best to appear inconspicuos.

Izuku almost bursted his ass laughing before slapping his mouth shut, only alerting Katsuki to his muffled laughter.

"The hell you on about Deku?! This is All Might he-" He was stopped from getting too loud by Izuku, who held up one finger to stop him before pointing at what he was seeing.

"What are you... PFFFT." Katsuki choked on his words, masking his building laughter as a cough as everyone turned around to look at what was going on.

"The hell you extras looking at, fuck off!"

All Might sweatdropped as he continued his spiel. "Today we will start with this!" He pulled out a big card with just one simple word, gaining everyon's attention back to him.

"Battle..." Katsuki stopped his laughing and grinned ferally, his hands twitched in anticipation.

"Training." Izuku finished with a determined smile, taking out his other Web-shooters.

"Along with that, is this!" He pointed to nearby wall as the slits slowly came out, revealing several suit cases with numbers printed on them.

"Your Hero costumes that was made per your request and Quirk registration."

All the students yelled excitedly, scrambling to get the suitcases that corresponds to their numbers. Once they were done, only Izuku was left without one as the slot that was supposed to be his was empty in the first place.

He frowned, looking back at All Might while pretending to be nervous. "M-Mr. All Might sir? I can't seem to find my case anywhere."

All Might kept on smiling, but a raised from his eyebrow showed that he was confused too. "That's strange. You were suppose to- OH!" He snapped his fingers, remembering the thing that Aizawa told him. "Yes, I remember now. Your suit was under modifications Young Midoriya, but it should be finished now. Please go to the Development Studios to retrieve it. For the rest of you, please go change and meet me at Ground Beta!"

"Yes sir!" The whole class answered, watching as the Hero sped out of the classroom, leaving behind a trail of dust before moving to get out of class aswell.

"Tough luck, Midoriya, but we'll meet you soon okay?" Kirishima said encouragingly as he stood next to Katsuki, seemingly unbothered by the glares the blond was giving him.

"Tch. You better be damn quick you hear me Deku?!" He stomped off, Kirishima following behind him with a chuckle.

"See ya later Izuku, don't blow up anything while I'm gone." Hitoshi joked playfully.

Izuku rolled his eyes but his smile was still present. "Yeah right, what's the worse that can happen?"

'Me and my big mouth...' Izuku groaned as he recovered from the explosion that just hit him point blank in the face, something weighing him, probably the door to the room that he was about to enter.

"Hatsume! For godsake, stop blowing up things in my studio!" The gruff voice of Powerloader scolded someone named... Hatsume? He swears he heard that name before from somewhere. Oh well, think later, now to get this door of of him with a pu-

Squish.

'... Soft... WHY THE HECK IS THE DOOR SOFT?!' Izuku focused his eyes through the cloud of smoke, spotting a face with crosshaired eyes and pink dreadlocks infront of him, a smile present on the person's face.

The girl looked down at him as she removed her goggles. "Hi I'm Mei Hatsume! Nice to meet ya!"

Izuku eyes widened at the sight of a girl laying on top of him, blushing madly as he tries to make coherent sentences. "I-I'm Midoriya Izuku! I m-mean, Izuku Midoriya! Wait n-nevermind they're the same. Uh... I-I'm here to pick up my costume?"

Mei's eyes widened as she got a clearer look of who was under her. "You're Greenie! Yes! I have so many of my babies to show you! First, let go of your hand so I can stand up!" She said nonchalantly, pointing down torwards her... Chest?

It was that moment that Izuku realized that his right hand was still holding onto something, something... Soft and squishy. He looked down quickly and frantically to the sight of...

'B-B-BOOBS!' His eyes rolled back into his head as he let go, passed out from witnessing his own hand betray him.

Mei titled her head in confusion, poking Izuku in the cheek as she called out to Powerloader. "Maijima-sensei! Greenie's not responding, can I use him to test out my babies?"

Powerloader groaned tiredly, already knowing why the kid passed out. "No. Bring him in here and go get a glass of water, I'll try and wake him up."

"Sure!" She said as she dragged Izuke limp body into the studio, closing the door behind her while checking out the babies on his wrists.

"My my Mr. Midoriya, you're a bold one aren't you." Nedzu laughed, sipping onto his tea, watching the video sureillance footage with amusement in his eyes. This year was certainly getting more entertaining than last year's batch.

Chapter Text

"-id... Kid! You awake yet?" A gruff voice yelled in his ear, causing Izuku to startle awake, wondering where the heck he is now.

"Good, you're back from the dead. Now I don't need to file for more paperwork." The man sighed in relief, his gloved hand scrathcing at his chin, leading Izuku to his head, which made his eyes widened in recognition.

"You're the Excavation Hero! Powerloader! You're the teacher to the Support course right?! Can I have your autograph?!" He patted his pants down to find his notebook, but then immediately remembered that he left it in the classroom.

Powerloader, after seeing the down trodden expression the boy gave him, pulled out a scrap piece of paper, scribbled his signature on it and gave it to the now happy boy. He smirked, it was rare to see someone be so happy just to see him or even know about his teaching career without being one of his own student, so he's gonna enjoy it while it last.

"If you're wondering how long you were passed out for, it was only a minute so don't worry about being late to anything. If it helps, I'll write a note explaining to your teacher why you were late, it was my student's fault in knocking you out anyways."

Izuku was confused by what Powerloader was saying, there were only tw-

"Hey! Greenie! Ya awake! Great! Now ya can test out all my babies" A chipper voice joined their conversation, causing Izuku to look behind him, wondering who was there.

'Babies? Who's... OH GOD IT'S HER!' Izuku squealed, seeing the soot covered, pink haired girl from earlier in all her glory. An almost manic smile can be seen on her face as she held a glass of water, the other hand already moving to grab some tools.

"Speak of the devil," Powerloader grumbled as he glance down to the increasingly red boy, feeling a tiny bit of sympathy to him. "First, no Hatsume, you can't test any of your prototypes on him. Second, don't worry kid, it was just an accident, I know, and that girl is too focused on what she's doing to care about what you did anyways. Though, don't think for a second that this means there's a next time for that ya hear? Ain't none of that in my studio." He warned the boy, crossing his arms over his chest.

Izuku frantically waved his hand, feeling himself getting hotter from Powerloader's statement. "I'm not that kind of guy I swear Mr. Powerloader sir! I didn't see her through the smoke and I thought the door landed on me so I just! ... I swear I didn't mean to and it will not happen again sir! And I..." He bowed to the Hero, dread filling his stomach. What was wrong with him?! Everyone's gonna think he's a pervert now!

Mei just kept on gathering more tools and gadgets without a care in the world.

Powerloader sweatdropped at the string of apologies that continued from the muttering boy. "Okay stop! I got it kid, and call me Maijima-sensei if you can. Anyways, I assume you're the one with the missing costume from Aizawa's class, uh, Midoriya right?" He pointed inquisitively, causing the boy to stop his mutterings.

"Oh right! Yes sir, my costume case! I kinda need it for my class now if you're done modifying it of course." Izuku asked while looking around for the existence of his case in the mountain of machinery that laid in the corner of the room.

Powerloader raised an amused eyebrow under his mask and chuckled. "Oh I'm not the one responsible for that kid." He pointed behind Izuku, straight at the flurry of pink dreadlocks that was still gathering up more stuff in her hands.

Izuku made an expression of horror. "You can't be serious right? She's qualified to modify my Hero costume?!" He whispered yelled, still not believing Powerloader on what he just said.

The Hero just laughed loudly at the boy's worry. "Modified it? HA! She made the damn things!" He patted the boy's back, causing him to stumble forward a little bit. "Don't ya worry Mr. Midoriya, she's mostly overqualified to do most of the work in my class. And as the first Recommendation student in the Support course in nearly a decade, she was allowed to make one costume for a student in the Hero course. You just happen to caught her eyes with the device on your wrists kiddo."

Izuku blinked. "You... You mean my web-shooters?"

"Yeah that. That reminds me, she made some suprises for you. Hatsume!" The Hero hollered to the girl, who halted in her tracks and turned her neck so quickly that Izuku can feel his neck just cringing out of sheer uncomfortness.

Izuku gulped at the even more manic look that Mei gave him when they made eye contact, he was probably not gonna get out of here on time.

All Might stood proudly over most of his students as they walked out dramatically, showing off all of their Hero costumes, which he has to admit, was 'lit' as the youngster would call nowadays. Though it did appears that Young Midoriya is late to the class, which was odd considering that it shouldn't be too complicated to pick up a suitcase, right?

The Hero shook his head out of his concern, now was not the place to waste his already lessening time limit, he got a class to teach. "The way you present yourself is also important boys and girls. Be aware that from today onwards, your are now Heroes!" He spread his arms wide as a show of appreciation to his students, who was all wearing grateful looks, except for Katsuki, who was grinning ferally.

One by one, the whole class started to trickle out and after a while, most of the student body was present. Emphasis on almost.

"Oi All Might! Where the hell is Deku and why the fuck is he taking so long?!"

Iida gasped in offended shock in his suit of armor that resembled that of a motorized knight. "Bakugou! Watch your language! That is All Might your speaking to!"

Katsuki growled. "Can it Glasses, I'm not talking to you and I ain't blind either! So either shut up or I'mma do it for you when I inevitably kick your shitty ass during battle!" He bared his sharp teeth again, causing Iida to reel back in horror from such a blatant disrespect of rules and another student with rock like features to cower behind a guy with a bird's head, who was mumbling something about a 'banquet' and 'darkness'.

All Might was about to step in to quiet down the class, but a familiar sassy but chipper voice called out from the dark tunnel from where they once came, making everyone turn around. "Aww Kacchan, you missed me already? So you do care!"

Then the sound of two thwips can be heard sticking to the wall, the tunnel echoing every streching and pulling noise before it was release with an audible crack in the air, launching something green at sufficiently high speeds, everybody's head was following the green blur as it did a flip and landed on one knee infront of the class.

"Deku?" Both Katsuki and Uraraka question at the same time.

"Hey everyone." The voice of Izuku greeted them, the two big white lenses that was on his mask took a cheerful expression as he stood up with a wave, showing the entire class his Hero costume in all it's glory.

It was a dark green suit with webs patterns covering his head, shoulders, arms and legs, with his thighs and the inner part of his arms a lighter green than the other areas. Dark lines can be seen under his biceps and where his ribs are, which lead to the gigantic spider symbol that almost covered the entirety of his torso, with eight legs in total, two of which lead to the other big spider on his back, though this one a bit more rounder than the front one with the exceptions of it's more pointy legs. A red belt was worn by the boy, contrasting the green from all over his body, with the other being his iconic red shoes, which hadnt really changed much from it's original design.

All Might laughed boisterously. "Now that's what I call an entrance Young Midoriya! Good to have you joining us right on time! Now, without further ado, let's get goinng you zygotes!" The tall man gestured to the class, who snapped out of their surprise and started to follow him eagerly, though a few was still looking at the spider-boy with interest.

Izuku joined his friends, relieved at the sight of a grumpy Katsuki and smirking Kacchan. "Hi guys!" He waved energetically, his lenses retratcing into more of a cheerful expression.

"Tch. Damn show off." He crossed his arms against his chest, rolling his eyes at Izuku's stunt.

Hitoshi looked up and down at his friend before smirking. "Nice getup, though I thought that you'd pick something red and blue, like the All Might fanboy that you are."

Izuku chuckled, poiting at the scarf on Hitoshi's neck. "Says the Eraserhead cosplayer."

"Hey, this scarf can beat your ass if it wants to alright? Besides, it has some other friends to play with." Shinsou raised his detatchable bow staff, showing that the two ends were wrapped with the same material also, colored a deep purple just like his hair.

"Okay that's actually smart, good on you Hitoshi! Wait did they make the thing for you?" Izuku asked excitedly, his face clearly expressing joy even through his mask.

"Oh yeah, they did. Check this out."

Hitoshi put on a mask of some sort, covering the lower half of his face, twiddling with the dial on one side of his face. After he got it wh.ere he wanted, he took in a deep breath and yelled out "YOU'RE ALL EXPELLED!" In Aizawa's voice, causing several of the students nearby to scream out in terror, who was still traumatized from the Quirk Apprehension test.

"Not again!"

"Whatever it was, I didn't do it!"

"I'm too young to go out like this!

Katsuki stood there and just cackled maniaclly at the chaos infront of him, almost doubling over from how hard he was laughing as All Might struggled to keep the class in check. "GOOD ONE YA SHITTY EYEBAGS! BWAHAHAHAHA! LOOK AT THEIR DUMBASSES RUNNING AROUND LIKE HEADLESS CHICKENS! AHAHAHA!" He wheezed out, having too much fun to realize that he had just inadvertently complimented Hitoshi for something, which after a few seconds of stunned silent from the purple haired boy, Katsuki had finally notice his mistake.

"Wait. FUCK- NO- I DIDN'T- GODDAMN IT I- ARGH, FUCK OFF YOU BASTARD!" He stomped away at a lightly faster pace than the still surprised boy, the students creating a wide berth for him to walk through, though it was only Kirishima that greeted him when he walked past.

"Dude that was you? I could've dropped my croissant you know." Kaminari said while seemingly pulling out a croissant from behind his back, waving it around in emphasis for about a second, before bursting out laughing hysterically at his own sense of humour.

"Do... Do you just keep that in your pants at all times or...? I don't think that's... comfortable... Or hygenic." Hitoshi said with a shudder, taking off his voice changer to properly said what needed to be addressed

"Oh yeah, I have like, 40 ants that have been biting at my legs for a whole day now, but it was worth it for the memes."

"Why didn't you just swat them off???"

"Cause' that's animal cruelty, duh."

Izuku snickered at his friends' antic, about ask Hitoshi to do another voice before a hand was laid on his shoulder, along with a bubbly voice. "Hey Deku! Your costume looks so cool! It's so simple yet so awesome! While mine..."

The boy smiled and turned around. "Hey Urara... Ka" He squealed out the last part of her name as he examined her Hero costume, which unfortunately for him, turned out to be a light pink skintight costume, that accentuated her features even more so than the school uniform did.

Oh boy.

"It's now time for our battle training!"

"All Might sir," A boy in the armor like costume spoke, revealing himself to be Iida. "Are we about to battle some fake villains again? We used this center for the exam once for the exam right?"

"No Young Iida, today we will go up two steps. As you may know, most Villans operate outdoors. But statistically, Villains like to appear indoors more often than not. Anything from hostages, backroom deals and so on. In our society of Heroics, the clever villains tend to stay in the dark. So that's why I'll be separating you guys into Hero and Villains teams! It'll be a '2v2' as you may call it." He explained to the class, who all seemed to have thoughtful looks.

"But... No basic training?"

All Might chuckled. "This is to learn about those basics. But this time, it'll only be you and the other students, no robots this time." Suddenly, a flurry of questions hit the Hero like a truck.

"How do we win?"

"Can I blow them up?"

"Will we be expelled if we lose again?"

"How will we be split?"

"Is this cape magnifique or what?"

"Too many questions!" The Hero said aloud before pulling out a set flashcards and started reading from them.

'A cheat sheet?' Izuku questioned amusingly.

"Ahem. The scenario is this, Villains are hiding a bomb in somewhere in the building, the Heroes must destroy it. Heroes win by capturing the Villains or by recovering the weapon in the time limit. Villains can also capture the Heroes, but their objective is to protect the weapon."

"Let's draw lots for the teams!" The Hero pulled out two boxes, one in lighter color than the other.

Iida looked suprised by this, raising up his hand again. "It's random sir? Are your sure that's a good choice?"

Izuku answered him instead, wanting to help his friend clear up any confusion. "I think it's a good choice Iida. It's very common for Pros to team up with each other on the fly, regardless of whether or not they know each other or are from different agencies. I think that's it."

The boy nodded in understanding. "I see... He's looking ahead for us... I'm sorry for questioning your choice sir!"

"No problem! Now, let's start!"

Katsuki tried to not show his annoyance at being teamed up with fucking Glasses of all people, but eveyone can clearly see that his attempt at covering it up wasn't working.

"I... Would not have have particularly chose to be with you Bakugou, but I think this can be a rather useful learning experience for the both of us! As a fellow U.A student in the Hero course, it is my honor to help out any of my classmates." Iida stated in a cheerful tone while holding out a hand for blond to shake.

"Oh fuck off Glasses, I'd sooner fuck a blender than accept some shitty help from an elitist." Katsuki growled, smacking the hand away like it had just personally offended him, which knowing Katsuki, it was high up on the realm of possibilities.

Iida retracted his hand with a sigh, resigning to his fate with an uncooperative partner. "Very well... I'll leave you be. Please inform me if you have any ideas for our battle." He walked away stiffly, clearly wanting to say more but wisely kept his mouth shut instead.

"Bastard... I don't fucking need ANY of your goddamn help." Katsuki mumbled under his breath angrily, seemingly even more pissed off after what happened.

Then, out of nowhere, a hand was placed on his shoulder, which got the boy even more riled up, but then he saw whose hand it belongs to. "Deku, the fuck are you here for? Finally got sick of your stupid crush or something?"

Izuku's eyes widened, frantically waving his hands around in denial. "What?! No! Uraraka-" He looked around, seeing if anyone was listening in before whispering. "Uraraka's not my crush! I just- I don't-" He sighed, rubbing at the back of his head. "I just... Don't know how to act around girls okay Kacchan?... It's not like I have any experience in talking to them or anything..."

Katsuki grimaced. Yeah, that one's on him, just pile em' on to the ongoing list of guilt why don't cha'. "Yeah, whatever... Still haven't answered my damned question Deku." He grumbled, crossing his arms againts his chest, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Right, I know I'm not in your team or anything like that, so I have no say in this whatsoever, but... Did you really have to that to Iida?"

Katsuki frowned in confusion. The fuck is Deku talking about?

"Who the hell is Iida?"

"I- Wait what? Iida, you know, the guy who you were yelling at on our first day? The one who walked to the train with us? The one in the same team as you? The one who you just swore off? Your teammate???" Izuku said incredulously, watching his friend with an analyzing gaze, trying to figure out if he was pulling his leg or not. Turns out, he wasn't.

"Who? Glasses? You came here just to tell me his stupid name? Like I'd care about that ba-"

Izuku stopped him before anymore curses can be said "No! That's not the point I'm trying to-... What I'm trying to say is, he's only trying to do what he's been assigned to Kacchan, he's not undermining you or even going againts you. He's actually more enthusiastic about than most people would be when they are paired with you now that I think about, he's just... Trying his best to cooperate with you so that he can learn as well. So just... Ya know, give him shot, that's all I ask."

Katsuki was about to shot back angrily before the boy in question came back from his short walk, clearly a bit more determined this time around. "Hello Bakugou! I just figure out a solution to our problem! Seeing that you won't take yes for an answer, I've elected to have you as our group leader! That way, I can he- I mean 'assist' you in whatever plans you may have cooked up for us!" He stated like it was the most ingenius idea that he has ever made, putting his hands on his hips in a show of pride.

The blond looked into the encouraging eyes of Izuku for a few seconds, which yes, he can see even if the nerd has his mask on, and looked back at the armored student with an annoyed groan, begrudgingly accepting his request. "Yeah yeah whatever you bastard, you fuck anything up and you're on my shitlist, capiche?!" He grabbed hold of the boy's front armor, pulling him closer while snarling menacingly with his iconic scowl.

Iida was just glad that he atleast get the explosive student to finally cooperate to be intimidated by that. "Of course, it is in my best intention to do well in this exercise, we are students in U.A's Hero course after all."

"You keep repeating that shit again, I'm going to shove your damned exhaust pipes up where the sun don't shine."

"I-... Understood."

'Huh, that went better than I expected.' Izuku thought with a pleasantly surprised expression, not really expecting for Katsuki to change his mind so quickly, even if he was actually making an effort change, he didn't expect it to be that fast. Then again, it has been ten months since they became friends again, so maybe he just wasn't paying attention.

"All right! To begin our first Heroic class together, the teams who will be battling each other is..." All Might started to announce while putting his hands into two boxes, drawing attention of the whole class, anticipation building up from every student.

"Team A as Heroes versus Team D as Villains!"

Both Izuku and Katsuki perked up at the announcement, surprised to see that they'll be facing each other so soon.

Katsuki was the one to spoke up first, a cocky grin replacing his smirk. "Finally, been waiting for the right moment to kick your ass. Don't ya fucking dare hold back ya hear Deku?"

Izuku chuckled, his lenses zooming into a cheerful expression. "Wouldn't ever dream of it Kacchan, same goes for you too!"

"Yeah right, like you needed to warn me for something as stupid as that. I'mma destroy you regardless."

"We'll see."

Kaminari looked on in confusion, leaning next to Hitoshi to whisper his question. "Is... Is it a good idea to pin those two powerhouses againts each other?"

Hitoshi raised an eyebrow and look back to the two boys, seeing the determination burning in both their eyes. "Maybe."

"As much as it hurts me to be a Villain in this excersise, I will do my best to do what needs to be done." Iida said solemnly as he approached the fake bomb, holding his helmet underneath one of his arms while the other reached out to touch the thing in question. "So we need to protect this? Huh, I wouldn't have thought they'd be using paper mache for this."

"Oi Glasses, stop fucking around! I ain't got time to babysit you while kicking some ass!"

Iida sighed again, remembering who he was with. "Bakugou, please, my name is Iida Tenya."

"And I should give a fuck about that because?" Katsuki growled out, getting closer to Iida with a stomp of his foot.

"... Nevermind." He said with a shake of his head, putting his helmet back on. "So, what do you have in mind now Bakugou? Have you got any plans for us yet?"

"Tch. Easy, I go in and kick some ass, you stay here and guard that stupid looking thing."

Iida sweatdropped at his teammate's so called 'plan'. He was expecting something more... Explosive. "Um... May I ask why? Not that it isn't a great plan or anything, but... Midoriya's quirk is a very strong one to deal with. I'm not saying that you can't handle him, but after witnessing what he did at the entrance exam... I imagine that It'll be difficult for one person to beat him."

Katsuki growled angrily. Why does everyone keeps saying the same stupid shit about the damned nerd?! What the fuck did he do anyways? He knows the basics, and he's been trying to get more details from the little shit, but he just wouldn't budge on the damn subject. "I can fucking handle whatever shit he decides to pull got it?! The hell did he do that I didn't anyways? Save some girl from a robot? Big deal."

"Wait, didn't Midoriya tell you anything about his exam? I thought you were his friend?"

Katsuki glared at Iida with the intensity of a thousand suns. "The hell are you implying Glasses?"

Iida showed no signs of budging to cower under the glare. "Well, didn't he told you on how he rescued Uraraka? I imagine that lifting up the Zero-pointer's arm is no easy feat and one that he would be proud of, no?"

.

.

.

"HE FUCKING DID WHAT?!?"

Izuku felt a cold shiver running down his spine as he checked out the building plans that All Might gave to him and Uraraka, his spider-sense tingling ever so slightly at the feeling.

"Deku are you okay? You're not cold in your costume are you?" Uraraka asked with concern, putting her hand on his shoulder which only proves to make him blush, though it did snap him out of the strange feeling so... Yay?

"I-It's fine Uraraka, just felt nervous for a bit. What with the whole 'battle' premise... That and the whole class is watching so... Yeah, it contributes to the list as well." He shyly rubbed at his head, though something inside of him was still warning him about the bad time he was about to have.

"If you're sure... Hey, that reminds me, do you and Bakugou have like, rivalry going on? Cause' it seems like you do."

Izuku stayed silent for about second, a bit too surprise that Uraraka chose to ask that of all things. "Uh... You could say that. I've always admire what he can do with that amazing Quirk of his, and I've always did my best to... I don't know, prove to myself that I can be his equal? But Kacchan's just so cool with what he does! I can't even imagine that I'd be on equal grounds with him even at U.A-"

"So destined rivals? This is fate then! We're a team so lets do our best at this!" Uraraka said cheerfully, clapsing her hands together.

"Yeah..." He said a bit unsurely, shaking his head lightly to get back on topic. "Okay, so wanna revise our plans?"

"Oh, right! But are you sure that we don't need to check the bottom floor?"

"Absolutely. Kacchan always wants to be on top, regardless of whether it's ranking or floor so we'll just waste time searching there. Oh, I forgot to mention, he will definitely come to us rather than waiting because he's... Well him. If anything, he'll leave Iida behind to guard the bomb. In that case, I'll stay and distract him and you'll go and try to either capture Iida or retrieve the bomb. Remember to try and be stealthy around Iida, he's fast and will most likely chase you or grab the weapon and run away to another corner. Also, here." He pulled out some orb-like gadgets from his belt, two in total, both were painted with the color of his costume.

Uraraka nodded as she took the support items without question, trying her best to keep up with Izuku's word vomit. "Web-grenades, throw it down near Iida or on the ground to spread the web around a wide area to capture him or reduce his area of running. Keep in mind that these are only made from my prototype drafts that I sent in so there's a slight chance of them malfuction, so watch out for any backfires... Or actual fires" Izuku mumbled out the last part quietly, his experience in the Developement studios forever seered into his mind.

Uraraka cooed as she got a closer look at the tiny spider symbols on both of the grenades, smiling brightly as such a cute little detail. "Awww, they're like little babies in an egg!"

Izuku chuckled as he checked over the new equipment that Mei took the liberty of making for him, most notably? The shiny new pair of advanced web-shooters that were strapped to his wrists. They had a smaller, sleeker design, made to be worm on his wrists without the usual clunkiness they once had, with the extra bonus of automatic reloads. The cartridges were also given an upgrade as well, they were given more portability without any reduction to the web-fluid. Infact, she even increased the capacity of which they can be held. Though he was still sad about the fact that he had to begrudingly admit that hers were a definite improvement to his old ones.

'Well, at least she didn't mess with my web formula, that one's still all... me.' He paused his train of thought, seemingly realising something. '... Wait, I didn't give her my web formula, and these were full when I got them... How did Hatsume even got these?'

All Might decided that now was the time to get the show on the road, his boisterous voice coming on the speakers. "Your 5 minutes of planning is up! Team A, you are now allowed to enter! Let the battle trials, COMMENCE!"

Izuku gave a nervous hum before pulling the lower half of his mask down, concealing his entire face, internally hyping himself up as he gestured for Uraraka to follow him through an open window.

'Welp, maximum effort, here we go...'

"So, would anyone here hazard a prediction on who would be the victor of this fight?" All Might asked the whole class, a big smile plastered on his face as he awaits an answer.

The girl with the long ponytail and an outfit that didn't leave much to the imagination, Yaoyorozu Momo, raised her hand immediately, her face a determined and thoughtful one. "May I sensei?"

He gave her a thumbs up.

"Well, from what I can see in the situation, Team A has a disadvantage of not knowing where the weapon is, though I guess that judging from where they entered, they have a general idea. Furthermore, Team D has more versatility in terms of Quirks, while Midoriya can do whatever a spider can, Bakugou, despite his... Abrasive nature, looks to be a natural born fighter and have a surprising control over the precision of his blasts if his performance in the Quirk apprehension test was of any indication. Uraraka does have the ability to get rid of gravity on anything that she touches, though I can only see that working on Iida, if she was to touch Bakugou and send him into the air, he could always blast his way torwards the ground, though it would be difficult considering that if you were indeed weigthless, your center of gravity will be nowhere to be found. With Iida, his speed can help him in his mobility which can help him against Uraraka and Midoriya. Furthermore-"

"Well done Young Yaoyorozu! I uh... I think that is quite enough now! Your analysis is fantastically thorough, and that will be a considerable asset for you to use!" All Might said encouragingly, getting a grateful smile to appear on the young girl's face before she nodded and got back to watching the screen.

"Would anyone else like to try as well?" He said as another hand shot up, which was followed by another and another as the numbers slowly got larger, most of the students eager to say what was on their minds.

All Might smiled even brighter, a sense of pride going over his chest over the sheer excitement that came from the students.

"Yes, you there!"

"Ma cape n'est-elle pas magnifique?"

What.

Izuku was getting kinda nervous, not gonna lie. His spider-sense hasn't tingle as much as it should and he doesn't know if it's a good or bad thing ot not. They were getting closer to the top floor now, only three more floors to go... So why hasn't-

And just like that, the hair on the back of his head stood up like they always did when he was in danger, which of course meant...

"Uraraka! Duck!" He warned his partner as he dodged the point-blank explosion that charred his suit's shoulder with a flip, sticking onto the the ceiling without any effort, the familiar smell of burnt caramel greeting him menacingly.

"Hey there Kacchan, didn't expect to see you there. How've you been? What can I do for you on this fine day?" Izuku asked sarcastically to the grinning blond while checking if Uraraka was hurt in any capacity. Fortunately, it appears he warned her just in time to not get into the radius of the blast.

"Well I'm going to have a fantastic time kicking your ass into place if you'd let!" He snapped back with a feral laugh, blasting his way up to Izuku with a right hook. But it was quikly stopped with a web to his fist, with Izuku leaping down with great prowess, pulling Katsuki down with a loud smack as the explosive boy landed on his back, a bit dazed from Izuku's counter.

"Yeah about that 'kicking my ass' thing? I think I'll pass on that. Got an exercise to win and all that." Izuku said with a shrug, glad that he still remembered what attack Katsuki always start with when they were back in middle school. Traveling down memory lane for that may not have been fun, but hey, it works!

"Uraraka please go now, I can handle him." Izuku said quickly to the brunette, using the still dazed Katsuki to execute their plan.

"Bu-"

"I'll be fine, just run!"

Uraraka reluctantly nodded, setting off for the nearest staircase, rounding the corner and disappeared from Izuku's view.

Izuku relaxed for a bit. Their plan was still going smoothly... For now. Now to-

"OI, YOU DAMNED DEKU! YOU AIN'T DONE WITH ME YET!" Katsuki quickly stood up and blew up the web that covered his hand, explosions crackling loudly as the blond charged again, not giving Izuku time to relax.

Ah crap.

"Man that surprise attack was so uncalled for. Such an unmanly move..." Kirishima said sadly, though his opinion on Bakugou's explosive manliness still hasn't change after the display.

'What is it with this guy and manliness?' Hitoshi thought in annoyance, metally tallying up the amount of time this guy had said a varation of the word 'manly'.

The answer was 25... And rising.

"It is a sound strategy. They are in a time limited battle of 15 minutes right now with free use of their quirks, any surprises that they can pull will give them an edge to the end of the fight! You don't know this, but I was a master with clever surprise attacks myself."

'Sounds fake but okay.' Hitoshi thought amusingly. The man is 2 meters tall, the world's most televised Hero, dresses up like an All-American Superstar while yelling out his supermoves which are verying degrees of 'punching the shit out of the villains' and he's a master of what requires a bit of something called 'subtlety'? Yeah, sorry, but he's gonna press X on that.

"Man, did you see how Midoriya moved? That was legitness!" Kaminari slurred the last past, getting Mina to giggle at the reference. "It's like he knew Bakugou was just around the corner before he even saw him! Or" The electric blond cheered.

"Well, to be fair, explosions aren't exactly the most silent way to beat your opponent." Jirou said with an expressionless face, though she was impressed with what she saw nonetheless.

"Well how'd you know? Not like you can hear what happens in there!"

"We literally just saw him fire off an explosion."

"Yeah yeah, but that was before he appeared on screen." He pointed out the insignificant factor. "For all I know, he's secretly the stealthiest dude in the world!"

The whole class dropped dead silence, looking at Kaminari like he just grew another head, with only Hitoshi the only one to let out a quiet snort.

The blond looked around in confusion. "What? What happened? What did I do?"

'Oh you sweet summer child.'

'Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap! This was a bad idea!' Was Izuku's train of thought as he dodged explosions after explosions, alternating between crawling and running along the tight and narrow hallway, trying to find somewhere to hide from the menacing presence of-

"DEKU!!! STOP BEING A COWARD AND FUCKING FIGHT ME! OR I SWEAR TO GOD, I'M GONNA RIP YOU A NEW ONE AND SHOVE A GRENADE-"

"Hey did you know that Deku sounds kinda like 'Dekiru'? Which means 'I can do it'? So that means, you've been giving me compliments our whole childhood! Thanks Kacchan, I knew you didn't hate me!"

"Wha- The fuck-" Katsuki was stopped from expressing his confusion by a web shot to his mouth, followed by another two to his hands, giving Izuku enough time to throw a web-grenade behind him and run around to another corner, leaving an enraged, muffled screaming boy in his wake.

'If this goes on any longer, I'll run out of time. Gotta figure out how to lose him more effectively.' He thought while still running away, when suddenly, the voice of Uraraka came on the earpiece that he was wearing, which Izuku forgot about of course.

"Deku? Are you okay? That's an awful lot of explosions I'm hearing up here!" She said worriedly, which got Izuku's nerve to calm down, though only by a little.

He held up a finger to his ear, trying his best to be conspicuous. "Everything's fine Uraraka!" He said followed by the screams of Katsuki, who has already finished with burning off his most of his bindings. "... Mostly. Anyways, where are you right now?"

"Well that's a relief! I can see Iida just around the corner, the loud noises actually been covering my movements so he hasn't seen me yet, there's a chance I can catch him off guard! I think I can see the a tip of the weapon too! It's in the biggest room on the top floor. If you need me, I'm ready to go at a moment's notice!"

Izuku smiled brightly under his mask, happy that it was right where he predicted it would be. This was going perfectly! Uraraka's in position and both Kacchan and Iida was none the wiser. Nothing can go wrong now!

The universe begged to differ.

Despite this being a near absolute improbability, Izuku tripped on a piece of rock, which sent him flying into a wall so fast because of the force he was using, that he didn't even register what just happen in time to save himself the embarrassment.

"...Ow." Izuku groaned as he peeled himself off the wall with a considerable, from which he groaned even louder after seeing that it has left a rather cartoonish imprint of him on the wall.

'Great. Just my luck... At least things can't get worse.'

"Deku! Deku do you hear me? Iida spotted me, I'm so sorry! I tried and now he's running around the room with the weapon! He's not letting me touch him at all!"

'... Yeah is there a return policy for luckiness somewhere around here? Mine's broken.' Izuku thought with annoyance in his mind, turning around just to see a quite pissed off Katsuki, who seems to have had just enough about the bullshit cat and mouse chase that went on.

"No where to run now Deku. You either fight me now with all you got and we can settle this one on one the easy way, or you can run like a coward again and we can settle this my way." Katsuki growled out angrily, a feral smile gracing his features as he let loose a sadistic cackle, popping small explosions in his hands like it was America duirng the 4th of July.

Izuku gulped, clearly not wanting to find out what's worse than a fight with Kacchan. 'Come on Izuku, think, THINK! You can't go 100% without using One For All, but you can't use One For All without wrecking yourself, and you can't even control how much power you put into it. So how the hell do you escape this?!' He wracked his brain for an idea, but the impatient blond was having none of that, stomping closer and faster to the green haired boy.

"And you're gonna fucking tell me all the details in your fucking entrance exam or el-"

'Oh wait.' Izuku slapped his forehead in realization, seemingly remembering that he can use in this situation. 'How did I even forget that?'

He turned his attention to the blond with a cheery and sassy tone. "Hey before we do this, ya know how I can do whatever a spider can right?" He asked with feigned innocent,

This cause Katsuki to stop his advance, seemingly confused by the sudden question. "Huh? Of course I fucking do! You said the same shit about a million times now, so what's the fucking point? Get on with it and fight me!"

Izuku nodded while stroking his imaginary beard. "Cool cool cool cool cool. Anyways, peace." The boy held up a peace sign while one of the lenses on his mask winked at Katsuki, a loud comical 'pop' was heard from where Izuku was, his entire body disappearing in an instant with no traces of him left behind. It was as if he just... Turned invisible...

"Oh you cheeky son of a bi-"

--------------------

"WAIT WHAT?! WHERE'D HE GO?!" Both Mina and Kaminari yelled out in shock, seemingly baffled by Izuku's stunt.

"Oh yeah, he can do that." Hitoshi said casually, turning back to the screen to watch Bakugou's hilarious expression. He should get a picture of that, ya know, 'treasured memories' and all that.

"But... How? Isn't his quirk called 'Spider' or something like that?" Ojirou asked the insomniac, still not seeing how it corelates to be able magically vanish into thin air.

Hitoshi chcuckled at his question. "But he didn't specify which type of spider he was. And there's like what, 50,000 different types of spiders around the world? He can probably do all of what they do, maybe even more. So camoflauge isn exactly out of his repertoire."

The class stood in silent after Hitoshi's explanation, all of them thinking about variations of the same answer.

Midoriya was OP as fuck.

"Aw man, he's making me look so bad. Invisibility that he can turn off and all that other stuff? I'm so jealous right now!" Hagakure huffed out, causing some of the students to be startled by her, except for Ojirou, who already knew because she was his teammate.

"Well I think you're cool." The tailed boy said sheepishly, almost reaching a hand to pat her shoulder in encouragement until he realized that 1. He didn't know where her shoulder was, 2. She wasn't wearing anything else but a pair of boots and some gloves, 3. She wasn't wearing anything else but a pair of boots and some gloves.

Hagakure seemed to brighten up at the action. "Really? Thank you Ojirou! You're a really good friend!"

Hitoshi chuckled at this, seemingly amused by her words.

"That's rough buddy/That's rough buddy." Both Hitoshi and Kaminari said at the same time, snapping their heads to each other in realization

Kaminari smiled brightly, already knowing what needed to be done. "Say the name of your favourite Pokemon in 3, 2, 1"

"Pikachu/Pikachu."

Hitoshi grinned. "Best present that you can get on your birthday."

"A cat/A cat."

Kaminare smiled even brighter than before. "Alright last one. Your favourite Vine of all time. Ready? 3, 2, 1."

"Freeshavakadoo/Freeshavakadoo"

The blond laughed in excitement, holding out his hand for a high-five, to which Hitoshi returned the gesture. "Did we just become best friends?!"

"Yep."

"Wanna go chase cats later?!"

"Yep."

And that kids, is how you make friends.

Presenting to you readers, my verion of THE AMAZING, THE SPECTACULAR, SPIDER-DEKU!

Chapter Text

"Deku, Deku can you hear me?" Uraraka spoke to her earpiece, panting heavily after spending the last few minutes trying to catch Iida off guard.

Silence.

Uraraka frowned, did something happen to Deku's communicator? If that's the case then...

'I'm on my own for this.' She breathed in a nervous gulp of air, trying to regain some stamina from chasing Iida around so much.

Iida stood infront of the bomb with his Evil Villain Pose™️, poiting his finger up into the air dramatically. "MWAHAHAHA! You see Hero? You are no match for my dastardly plan! With my speed, you'll never be able to touch me or the bomb! You have already lost!"

Uraraka would've chuckled at Iida's enthusiasm to fit into his role, if she wasn't freaking out right now.

The situation was bad and she knows it, she could never lay a hand on Iida or the weapon while he was still focusing on her, nor could she throw the web-grenades at him without him running away from it, or worse.

Him kicking them right back at her.

So she needed to play this smart, or else Deku's efforts will be in vain. A distraction would be perfect to execute her plan, but what do you even do to distract someone as serious as Iida?

She pondered for a second before a lightbulb went off in her head, her face turning a bit more determined at the fact.

"Well if you can't beat em'..." She mumbled under her breath, clearing her throat before putting on her performance of a lifetime.

"You understimated me Villain! I won't back down from such an inconsequential inconvenience, becaus I, the Hero, will always find a way to bring evil doers like you to justice!" She said dramatically, putting her hands on her hips into the classic hero pose, puffing her chest out to be more convincing.

Iida brightened under his suit of armour, smiling from ear to ear. "Ohoho? Gained some confidence did we? Excellent! Now we can have a proper battle against each other! You and me! Hero and Villain! Clashing together as it was always meant to be! But don't think this will be an easy fight Hero, because I! the dastardly Villain! Wi-"

Beep!

Iida stopped his monolouge dead in it's track, his head moving down to the source of the sound.

It was a green circular object, with a small spider emblem on it, with the beeping sound getting faster... And faster... That can't be good.

"Sorry Iida! But I need to win this!" Uraraka said in apology, hiding behind a pillar while crouching down.

Iida, after realizing the situation that he's in, made an attempt to espace the blast radius as quick as possible. Though his efforts proved to be futile when he only managed to push the weapon away, his exhauts and legs being covered in a web-like substance and remained stuck to the floor, rendering them ineffective.

"Gah! I can't move! Are these... Webs?! I see, Midoriya gave you those to defeat me didn't he?! I... I should've accounted for this!" Iida tried to pull the webs apart, but to no use, only managing to pull out some of the dents the armour had.

"Oh thank god it worked." Uraraka breathed out as she came out from her hiding spot, a triumphant smile gracing her features.

"I'm really sorry for doing that to you, but I want to win this too!" Uraraka said as she charged for the weapon, reaching her hands to finish this once and for all.

'NO! She's gonna reach it! And I'm stuck here like a sitting duck from these webs! If only I could just burn-' Suddenly, a brilliant plan came into Iida's mind. He actually wasn't planning on using this move so soon at school, but it's the best chance he got right now.

"Torque over..."

Uraraka made the fatal mistake of turning around to look at Iida when he said that, her eyes widening comically as blue jets of flame fired out of the boy's legs, his exhausts heating up and burning all the webs that was preventing his escape. A loud piercing sound, comparable to that of a jet engine, echoed through the area, causing Uraraka to wince and stumble forward at the sudden noise.

Iida used that exact moment to pull off what little remaind of the webs, dashing forward with incredible speeds, becoming a silver blur in the eyes of everyone that was watching while yelling out in triumph. "RECIPRO BURST!" Grabbing the weapon and ran to the far side of where Uraraka was, going so fast that he had to used his own suit to absorb the impact as to not damage the weapon.

After a few seconds of silent realization of what just happened, Uraraka finally yelled out with astonishment. "YOU ARE SO COOL WHAT THE HECK IIDA?! HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!"

Iida smiled devilishly under his armour as he pulled himself out of the hole in the wall that he made, going back into his Evil Villain Monolouge™️ while also hiding his tiredness from that move. "Foolish hero! Trying to trick me again with your sense of showmanship and praises? I'm afraid those won't ever work on me again! Because a dastardly villain such as myself will always be one step ahead of you! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

'I'm... Not trying to trick him...' Uraraka thought awkwardly, before going back to freaking out over her failed plan. She was this close to winning this for her team and she messed up at the last second like an idiot! What is she going to do now? Iida's going to be way more cautious now... Wait.

'His exhausts are smoking badly... Are his engines overheating?' She analyzed quietly, another plan forming from her failed one. She wasn't too knowledgeable about engineering or anything that involves repairing that kind of stuff, but if years of watching her parents work at their construction sites with heavy machinary have taught her anything...

Black smoke was the sign of potential malfuctions.

Though right now, 'malfuctions' were exactly what Uraraka needed to somehome salvage the situation.

So she waited for about 10 seconds, letting Iida continue with his monologe while moving closer and closer to him, doing her best to appear inconspicuos as she readied the last grenade, waiting for when Iida was the most in-character to enact her plan.

"Hey Iida, catch!"

Iida, ever the polite person, caught it gracefully with one hand, only realizing what he just did a few seconds later, though by that time, it was already too late to do anything about that. Besides, it'd be rude to drop something after someone told you to catch it right?

"..."

"..."

"... I... Hadn't thought that through did I..."

"... Yeah kinda."

Iida just nodded at her reply and accepted his fate, waiting for the inevitable to happen... Except it didn't.

Noticing that things weren't going out the way both Uraraka and Iida thought it would go, they were righteously confused. Shouldn't everything be all... Sticky right now?

Their question was answered when they saw what was going on with the support item, their eyes not believing the absurd chance of what was happening, to actually even happen.

Turns outs, 'malfuctions' did occur, though just not on what Uraraka was expecting on. The grenades, while usable, had a 20% chance of imploding on itself, which Hatsume was kind enough to print out as a warning... On the inside... In really fine print.

Which in turn, led to the spectacle of what they are seeing now. The support item falling apart and down to the ground as its timer ran out, the capsule that contain the much needed web-fluid cracking and oozing out of its containment with a pathetic squeezing noise, followed by a fart like sound as it deflated in the open air.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... I... Don't even know what to say about that..."

Meanwhile...

"DEKU! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU YOU BASTARD?! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME ALREADY!" Katsuki yelled while blasting another door open, screaming out in frustration after seeing that it was also empty just like the other ones.

"ARGH! YOU DAMNED DEKU! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND FIGHT ME GODDAMNIT! STOP RUNNING AWAY LIKE A FUCKING COWARD!!!" He screamed out angrily, blasting open another two doors to find them empty also.

"DEKUUU!!!"

'How about no.' Izuku gestured to nobody, trying his best to keep quiet from the literal walking bomb. And yeah, it was kinda a bad idea from the start to piss off a guy with anger issues, but Izuku was never that great a follower of what normal people would call 'common sense' anyways.

So because of that, he turned off his communtication to Uraraka to further prevent Kacchan of noticing him while he was invisible, though this in turn left him alone to deal with Kacchan without any input on the situation above him.

'All Might hasn't announce anyone being captured yet so Uraraka's still okay, but I'm not taking chances to draw this out any longer. I need to do something that can actually stop Kacchan, permanently. But what can I do? His explosions can burn off my webs so I'll need something to surprise him, something...'

Izuku stiffled an exicted gasp as another idea came to mind, making his way to get closer and closer the the blond.

'Okay Izuku, nice and easy, just don't mess this up. Just approach Kacchan from behind and do your electric thingy, that's right, simple as that, nothin... You know what, I'm not gonna finish that thought. HA! Take that universe! Can't get me now can ya?'

The universe saw this act of rebellion and laughed.

Just as Izuku was conjuring up his Venom Blast, Katsuki turned around, somehow looked directly at Izuku, and grinned ferally. "There you are you fucking bastard!"

Oh no.

Izuku revealed himself and dodged away from the oncoming explosion in the nick of time, landing on all four on the ground, staring up and Katsuki with confusion written in his eyes. "How did you know I was behind you?!"

Katsuki barked out a cackle, going into a more offensive position as the explosions got brighter and louder. "Think I didn't hear your fucking electric bullshit firing up?! I'll be DAMNED, if you think it'll be that easy to take me down. NOW COME HERE AND FIGHT ME!" Katsuki charged again with a growl, sending explosions after explosions on Izuku's backside, which literally did singed a part of his ass by doing so.

"Hey! You almost burned my lucky underwear!" Izuku yelled out indignantly as he aimed another web torwards the blond's eyes, which Katsuki noticed and ducked out of the way, still persuing Izuku without letting up on his attacks.

"That won't work on me Deku! Now you'll either fucking fight me! OR I'LL FORCE YOU TO!" Then, as if Katsuki just got a boost of adrenaline, he launched forwards so fast that the green haired boy didn't know how to react, and grabbed Izuku by the throat, slamming him down harshly on the hard ground.

"Ouch... Yep... There goes my back... And ribs..." Izuku groaned as he tried to escape from his current predicament, only to be disoriented by a bright explosion that confused his senses..

"Now which will it be Deku?! ANSWER ME NERD!" Katsuki growled out angrily, shaking the boy furiously on the ground.

There was a pause of silent before Izuku smirked under his mask, his lenses morphing into a cheerful but cheeky expression, confusing the blond above him, who was sure that he got one over Izuku and was now getting pissed off at the implications that expression told.

"WHAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY?!" Katsuki screamed as he got closer to Izuku's face, daring him to say what was on his mind.

"Well... Let's just say..." Izuku leaned forward and winked at his friend, a small familiar crackle of green electricity forming around Izuku's body. "You're in for quite a Shock."

It took Katsuki a full two seconds before he realized what Izuku meant, cursing himself for being so damned sloppy, trying to let go of the nerd to avoid his attack but found that he was too late to do anything about it.

The electricity coursed through Katsuki's body as his muscles tensed up, shooting him backwards into a nearby wall, letting a strangled scream escape his throat from how painful it was.

Izuku waited with baited breath as he watched his friend lie limply against the wall, slowly standing up again, checking over his sore and tired body after having to do that move twice in a day, finally having the chance to turn on his communicator.

"Uraraka? Uraraka do you read me?"

A beat of silence...

Before the familiar bubbly voice came on, which eased Izuku's stress by a landslide. "Deku! Thank god you're okay. Did you lose Bakugou?"

Izuku looked back to his friend's body, which was still motionless. "Yeah, he's out. How are things on your end?"

The green haired boy grew nervous when he heard his teammate's nervous gulp through earpiece. "Bad news Deku, one of the grenades malfuctioned. He's still evading me around the room with the bomb on the middle of the fifth floor!"

...That was a problem.

'Well... At least it was only a couple more above me.' Izuku hid his sigh, already looking to jump out the nearest window to go help out his friend. But before he can do that, the clanking noises of heavy equipment was heard from behind him, along with the spider-sense that was ringing furiously in his head, and that can only mean one thing.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Izuku said in disbelief, turning around to the sight of a still conscious Katsuki, who was still having muscle spasms from the Venom Blast, but otherwise, seemed perfectly fine. Worse of all, he was fucking pissed beyond belief.

"Big mistake Deku. Big fucking mistake." Katsuki growled out ferally, his hands already up in a fighting position.

"... Ya know, for once, I agree with you on that..." Izuku said nervously as he tried to back away from the ticking time bomb, only, Katsuki wasn't about to let him off that easily.

One of his grenade gauntlets flashed red, making the blond's grin even bigger than before, pulling his arm up and showing it to the nervous boy. "Oi Deku! It's loaded." He said menacingly, poiting it at Izuku's general direction

"If you're so adamant on not using your fucking strength, then you should just go ahead and outright say that you're fucking looking down on me you damned nerd! Judging by you stalker-"

"Hey, I'm not a stalker!"

"Shut the fuck up and let me talk. Judging by your stalker notebooks, you already know by now how my quirk works." He pulled back the safety on the grenade, revealing the small pin on top of the support item... That doesn't look good. "And if they made these to my request, these will store up my sweat and let it all go out with a big ass boom!" He grabbed the head of the pin, causing Izuku to look frantically for any escape route that was available.

"Bakugou! Stop that this instant! You'll kill Young Midoriya!" The voice of All Might rang through their earpiece, panic full in his voice.

"Oh don't you worry All Might, that bastard won't die on my fucking watch!" Katsuki yelled out as he pulled the pin on the grenade, to which Izuku only had one thing to say about that.

"Fu-"

BOOM!

The explosion shook the building down to it's core, even going as far sending shockwaves to the monitoring area, making the screens go wayhire for a few moments.

"It's just a lesson! Did he have to go that far?!" Kirishima yelled as he looked around at his surroundings, seeing the dust on the ceiling being shook off violently.

"Young Midoriya! Young Midoriya do you hear me?!" All Might called out frantically, concern visible in his voice. He looked at the screens infront of him, only to have his worries worsen when he noticed that the cameras in that area weren't back yet.

'Bakugou... You...' Hitoshi thought while trying showing no outwards emotion. But on the inside? saying that he was pissed doesn't even compare to what he's feeling right now. Oh no, he was absolutely furious.

Hitoshi had finally thought that maybe, just maybe, Bakugou was actually trying to be somewhat 'good' for once, you know, for all the almost nice things the Pomeranian has done... He was a damned fool to believe that for even one fucking second if that point-blank explosion had anything to say about it. He was still a no good, narcissistic, backstabbing, aboslutely irredeemable. lying piece of-

"Hey man, you good? You look a bit... I don't know, 'shook? Is everything alright man?" Kaminari said in concern as he laid a hand on Hitoshi's shoulder, snapping the boy out of his stewing anger.

The tired boy sighed heavily, facing the other direction from his friend. "Yeah, yeah... Just got... 'Something' on my mind... I just need a few seconds to calm down..."

Kaminari gave Hitoshi another look before smiling brightly. "Hey no sweat man, take your time! I'll be right over there if you want to talk about cats some more." He gave the violet boy a friendly wave as he ran off back torwards his teammate, not noticing the grateful smile that Hitoshi gave him behind his back.

"Thanks." Hitoshi mumbled, getting a grip of himself before he has a chance to tear a new one into the aforementioned asshole.

'Okay, deep breaths Hitoshi, deep breaths... No need to get all 'whoop ass' on him... Yet. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable excuse for Bakagou to do that, if not... Quirk or no, I'm gonna tear him a new one after this finish up.'

"Hey, I can see something! Look!" Mina shouted excitedly, getting everyone to pay attention back to the action.

"That felt... So. Fucking. Good!" Katsuki cackled from under the smoke and debris, slowly standing back up after that big blast knocked him down.

"HOW WAS THAT DEKU?! STILL WANNA HOLD BACK?! GO AHEAD! I'D STILL CRUSH YA EITHER WAY!" Katsuki yelled down what was originally a hallway, slowly and methodically stepping over any pieces of rubble that lay in his way.

He didn't receive a response.

"OI DEKU! FUCKING ANSWER ME! DID YOU FUCKING GO INVISBLE AGAIN?!" Katsuki growled out angrily, clearing away some more dust to get a better look.

Still, there was no one that answered him.

"OI DEKU!" He called out again, looking around for any traces of the boy, a strange feeling seeping into his gut as the silence went on.

"ANSWER ME!" He tried stomping his way to find Izuku himself before he heard a loud crack beneath his feet, for once actually startling the boy out of his rage.

"The fu-" Katsuki stopped his sentence as he got a closer a look at the object beneath his feet, the familiar mask staring up at him with a broken lens, just hiding under the rubble.

Katsuki stood there for a few seconds, before reaching down to pull it out from under the debris, still with no Izuku in sight.

He held that thing gingerly in both of his hands, seeing that the explosion had damaged it to almost beyond recognition, with only the dull grey material that was used to make it more fire resistant, and one of the broken lens that was still attached to the mask from the aftermath of that blast.

"Deku?..." Katsuki called out again, still looking at the object in his hands. Though this time, the way that he said that name sounded... Strange.

"This... This isn't funny you bastard! Come out already or I swear to god I'll make you regret ever... JUST FUCKING GET IT OVER WITH AND SHOW YOURSELF!" Katsuki yelled again, his eyes scanning what's left of the room to search for the boy in question.

'Why is he not... Could that have...? No, no, there was no way in hell that Deku didn't dodge that, right? That- That fucking 'Deku-tingle' or whatever fuck it was lets him get away from fucking everything!' Katsuki thought desperately as he ran torwards the big opening in the wall that he made, looking up and down for any traces of Izuku, spotting nothing but more dust and rubble.

"DEKU! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO BURN YOUR FUCKING ALL MIGHT COLLECTION IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOUR UGLY MUG RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Katsuki yelled out desperately, his voice hoarse and full of anger, though this time, it was not directed torwards Izuku.

'He... He can't be... No, there was no chance of that. Deku fucking took on the Zero Pointer and destroyed it for fucksake! He can handle this shit without- without dying!'

'Right?...'

Izuku's POV .

"Well that was painful." Izuku groaned quietly on the floor as he felt his everything just screaming at him from how much pain they were in. His senses slowly coming back to him after a few seconds of waiting. He knew it was a bad move to think that Kacchan would go down from just one small Venom Blast, but to cut himself some slack, he did just use that move on a bunch of robots this morning.

Izuku began to sit up on the ground, wincing lightly as the movement caused some of his injuries to twitch in annoyance, but otherwise, he was fine. His suit on the other hand...

"Hatsume can fix this... Probably." The boy said while looking down at his tattered suit, grimacing at the damage the explosion had done to the right arm portion of his suit, even the web-shooter was destroyed.

'At least I still have the other one and my mask... Wait, where is my mask?' He said as touched around his face, his eyes widening in surprise at the sudden realization.

'Aw man, really? I was just starting to like it too!'

Izuku shook his head in disappointment before finally standing up and peered through the hole on the floor that he was currently in right now, watching for any movements from his friend.

Izuku only planned to dodge out of the way of the explosion by jumping on the ceiling like he usually did, but as it turns out, that blast was a lot bigger than he predicted, even blasting him to the floor above him, forcing his body to make its way through the solid concrete ceiling, which yes, did hurt like hell. It was a miracle that all his bones was still intact from that, Izuku had expected a sprained hand or something of the sort. Guess his 'spider-toughness' saved his butt again huh? ... That sounded weird.

"So Uraraka's one more floor up, and there's what? 3 minutes left? There's no window here, so stairs it is!" Izuku said quietly to himself, preparing to march up to his objective before he was interupted by someone.

"DEKU! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO BURN YOUR FUCKING ALL MIGHT COLLECTION IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOUR UGLY MUG RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Izuku heard the familiar yell of his age old friend coming from below, with the usual crankiness in his voice as always, thought this time, Izuku spotted something... Different in his tone.

Izuku's been at the brunt of Kacchan's anger a lot of time by now, which isn't... Actually... A good thing to brag about but... Anyways, long story short, you'd get really good reading people by their voices when you've been with them for most of your life.

And right now, that was the voice of someone who's regretting something they did. But the question now is, why would Kacchan be- Wait is that his mask?

Izuku bent down and got a closer look, moving half his body down to focus on the hand that was turning white from how hard it was clucthing onto the object. The colors were a lot more different than the rest of his suit, but he can recognize those lenses from anywhere, that was definitely his mask, well what's left of it anyways. But that just leads to even more questions for Izuku.

'Why is he clutching my mask? Why does he sound so weird? Why does he- Oh my god I could've died.' Izuku whistled in his mind as he finally took in at the sheer destruction that one gauntlet did to the surrounding area. Seems like his luck kicked in at the right moment huh?

"Young Bakugou! If you shoot off another move like that. This will end immediatly and Team A will be annouced as the victors. It is a bad strategy to create any unnecessary colateral damage!" The voice of All Might said sternly through the somehow still attached earpiece of Izuku, surprising the green haired boy so much so that he let out a small, strangled and quiet yelp, though it seems like it wasn't as quiet as he thought it was.

"...Deku?!" Katsuki yelled as he turned around to look at Izuku, who was still halfway through the hole, who stared back at the blond with as much awkwardness as you can muster as a teenager.

"Uh... This isn't real, go back to sleep." Izuku said as he tried to shooed his friend away, like that was ever going to work in a million-

"You're absolutely right, I'm gonna go and do that."

"Yeah I thou- Wait, seriously?" Izuku asked with genuine surprised, did that actually freaking work? Did he somehow switched Quirks with Hitoshi?

"FUCK NO! You really think I'm that much of an idiot?!" Katsuki scoffed, hiding the sheer relief that washed over him when Izuku appeared again.

"Well..."

"I swear to god if you answer that, I'm actually going to fucking burn all your All Might merch."

"Woah there." Izuku jumped down to the same level that Katsuki was, helding out his hands like he was talking down a hostage situation. "No need to get personal, we can all work this out like reasonable people here. Right?"

"Tch. Whatever, put your stupid mask on and fight me. For real this time. No more bullshit. No more running. Use your full fucking strength. I can't use my gauntlets anymore so let's fucking do this." He growled and threw the object torwards Izuku, crouching into an offensive position.

Izuku gulped, he wasn't getting out of this one that easily is he?

'I really have to use it now huh? Damnit, I still haven't figured out a way to reduce the power of One For All to a manageable level yet, I'll break my arms and his at this point if I try... Wait.' An idea came to Izuku's head as he put on the remains of his mask, looking at Katsuki through the broken lens and the area of the mask that reveal the right side of his green eyes and hair.

Now, Izuku's current plan wasn't exactly one that he liked or would even choose per say, but hey, this one only involve one person's bones breaking and it ain't gonna be Kacchan's.

"Deku! Are you okay?! What happen-"

"Uraraka I don't have time to explain this but when I give the signal, hold on to the biggest pillar up there." Izuku whispered quickly, what remained of his mask covering up his mouth and preventing Katsuki from knowing that he had just said something.

"Huh? What signal?"

"You'll see."

Izuku turned torward his friend with a determined gaze after he finished that ominous sentence, feeling bad about leaving his own teammate in the dark like that, but he's running out of time, and he really wanted to win.

"As you wish Kacchan." Izuku remarked with a smirk as they both charged at each other, readying up their fists for the epic fight that was surely about to happen.

"GET READY FOR A HELLUVA' BEAT DOWN DEKU, BECAUSE I'M GONNA FUCKING WIN THIS!" Katsuki's hand heated up rapidly, already readying a powerful explosion in preparation for the proper one on one that he was about to have.

"Both of you st-"

Izuku didn't hear what All Might had to say before he grabbed onto the familiar feeling of One For All that laid inside his chest, pulling it out and directing the power into his entire fist, magenta like veins slowly covering his arm as he finally made his move, smirking all the way through the process. "You sure about that? URARAKA NOW!"

'DETROIT... SMAAAAASH!!!'

And in one fell swoop, Izuku redirected his punch at the last minute torwards the ceiling instead, punching a giant hole into it along with several other concrete floors above him, blowing straight through the literal roof of the building, shooting debris and rubble upwards from how much air pressure that has just erupted from his fist.

Katsuki could only stand there and watch in absolute shock at the spectacle before him, getting himself entranced to the sheer absolute power that he would've never thought to see before being snapped out of it by the loud distressed yelling that originated from Iida, getting his attention back just in time to make out what the boy was yelling about.

"THE WEAPON!!! NOOOOO!!! " Iida's distraut screams can be heard echoing throughout the building, causing Katsuki's rage to spike up to an unprecedented amount.

'No... NO! I WASN'T DONE- I WASN'T- I CAN'T FUCKING LOSE LIKE THIS!'

Katsuki tried to stared Izuku with eyes full of anger and fury, though because there was still a lot of dust that kicked up, he settled for scowling instead. "DEKU! YOU PIECE OF SHIT, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?! WHY WON'T YOU JUST FUCKING TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AND STOP PULLING ANY OF YOUR GODDAMNED-... Tricks?" The blond suddenly stop his enraged rant, his eyes widening in horror as he noticed what just happened to Izuku.

"You-You know," Izuku grunted behind the slowly disappating layer of smoke, revealing to all his newly broken arm with several of his fingers bending in unatural ways, an angry pinkish red covering the entirety of his right arm as the left side was shown to have blocked the attack that resulted in a charred and burnt forearm.

"Tha-That actually hu-hurts a lot less the second time... Through..." Izuku said drowsily with a chuckle before everything caught up to his tired body as he started to fall forward, closing his eyes while his mind began to black out from the exhaustion and pain.

Strangely enough, Izuku never felt his body hit the ground when he finally succumbed to the realm of unconsciousness.

"Hero team... WINS!" All Might announced with as much energy he can muster, internally cheering for Young Midoriya's win. Though he has to admit that he was surprised that the boy had decided to use One For All again this early, he'd imagine that Young Midoriya would want to wait until he had more control. Oh well, it can't be helped he guessed.

"Holy- Holy crap! What on earth was this match? They won... But now they can't even move!" Kaminari said shakily, watching as Urarka struggled to hold in her vomit while Midoriya flat-out looks like he's gone through hell and back.

"They lost the battle but won the war it seems..." Tokoyami said solemnly, getting some nods of agreement in the class.

"This is only training. Kero."

"Hey Shinsou! Know any spiders out there that can do that?" Sero asked jokingly, still a bit in disbelief at what just happened.

Hitoshi was no different, his eyes were as wide as saucers when that punch went out. "Hey I was just joking when I said the things that I said, I didn't think it'd be that literal." He remarked, getting the other boy to laugh. He himself didn't find what he said funny, he was more concerned about figuring out what the hell actually happened.

'Since when can he punch out a hole the size of the damn building? Spider-strength or no, that's got to be impossible... Right?' Hitoshi pondered as Izuku unconscious body was laid down gently by the person who caught him, freaking Bakugou of all people.

"Ahem, excuse me students, I'll need to go and make sure everyone in that building are okay and get them to Recovery Girl's office if needed. You're welcome to socialize in my absence!" All Might said as he dashed quickly out of the room, appearing on the cameras about 5 seconds later.

"Did he really just leave us to our own devices?"

"Hey, I'm not complaining. Let's get this 'socializing' thing started then! How about uh... You go first? You with the... Actually what is your costume anyways?" Kaminari turned to ask the boy in question, who looked like he doesn't want to interact with anyone, at all. "Like, half of your body is frozen solid, and one of your eyes have a glowing red thingy. I mean, can you even move your arm like that?"

"It's none of your concern. Now leave me be." Todoroki said in a voice so cold, you might as well thought he was using his Quirk. He turned around and walked away from his staring classmates, not giving them even so much of a glance as he went back to the other side of the room, staying as far away from everyone as he can.

"... Oookay then. Way to set the mood..." The energetic blond mumbled, a small pout appearing on his face. "Anyone else have anything cheery to say?"

He didn't receive a response out of the awkward silence.

"Oh come on, seriously?!"

Meanwhile, at a pleasant meeting between a rat and a hobo.

"Why in god's green earth did you call me here during my break Nedzu? You know I actually need the energy to stay awake during classes right?" Aizawa complained annoyingly, his eyes threatening to droop at every word.

"Ah, but that doesn't stop you from taking naps during them correct? Besides, I need to share something important with you! It involves Mr.Midoriya as you can imagine." Nedzu said cheerfully as he continued to sip on his tea, ignoring Aizawa's gaze.

"Didn't we discuss everything we need? And also, shouldn't you call All Might for this? Why me of all people?"

Nedzu just giggled. "Oh, this doesn't concern One For All my dear Aizawa. No, what I'm about to tell you need some... 'Delicate handling', and I need someone who can keep this a secret."

Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "The man who kept his Quirk hidden for most of his career isn't trustworthy to keep a secret?"

"Not when it concerns his successor. He has too much of a soft spot for the boy to not inform him about this." Nedzu put down his cup of tea, which kind of weirded out Aizawa. Never once the entire time he worked here has he seen Nedzu put down his drink the presence of other people before, was it that serious?

"You see, I want to discuss with you about the spider that gave Mr. Midoriya his powers. You do remember the summarized information that I gave you, yes?" The chimera said as he stared at Aizawa with his big black beady eyes, unblinkingly mind you.

"Hard to forget a bomshell like that.." Aizawa mumbled under his breath before answering Nedzu. "I know the basics if that's what you're asking, like how he's bitten by a radioactive/ Quirked spider, changed his body so he now has a Quirk or something of that kind, still can't erase it even if I wanted to."

Nedzu chuckled. "I imagine you'd find that irritating, though if it's any consolation, just think of it as a mutation that is ingrained into the boy's DNA. Nonetheless, that's not the thing I asked you about."

Oh for the love of-

"Can't we just cut straight to the point? I have 2 days worth of sleep to cram into half an hour."

"...Very well. The spider's venom as you may recall, changed Mr. Midoriya's biology so now that a part of it's DNA is ingrained in him, giving him the abilities it has... Though it appears we were mistaken on the number of people that it bit."

.

.

.

"I'm sorry, but WHAT?" Aizawa stood up from his chair, staring down at Nedzu, clearly wanting the principal to elaborate.

"I've come across new evidence that points to it biting another person before it eventually died. Exciting wouldn't you say Aizawa?"

Aizawa narrowed his eyes. "How does any of that sounds exciting?! And shouldn't we focus on finding that person?!"

"Unfortunately, even that escapes my realm of abilities. Approximately 1500 people were visiting I-Centre during that time, along with 200 to 300 employees and scientist that was stationed around the area, coming up to about 2000 people that we would have to personally go to and check whether or not they suddenly gained a Quirk. Additionally, they could just choose to hide it or lie about it existence."

Aizawa groaned as he rubbed at his eyes, already missing the comfort of his sleeping bag and Hizashi's lap. "So, that's it? We're just waiting until someone steps up to tell the truth? How'd you even know that it did bite somebody anyways?"

"Oh Aizawa, do I look like someone who would lie about something like that? " Nedzu said innocently, not really drawing any suspicion off of himself.

'Yes.' Aizawa's mind responded, but he wasn't gonna say that outloud now did he.

"Regardless, it is illogical to just wait around and see what happens."

Nedzu sighed. "Quite, but it seems we have no choice in that matter... Thank you for coming here again Aizawa, you can go back to your break now. And do please remember that anything that I said in my office should remain that way until I say so." The chimera added with a cheerful smile, which still creeped out Aizawa down to the bone no matter how many time he saw it before.

"Yeah..." The man responded tiredly, already moving to get the heck out of the damned office.

"Oh! And please inform Mr. Yamada that, no, I am not part platypus and do not have a hidden spur on my ankle that produces toxic venom."

'What the hell prompted- You know what, I'm not gonna ask.' Aizawa thought dejectedly before slamming the door shut, walking away from the new bombshell that was just dropped on his head. Goddamnit...

Why couldn't he just mind his own business when he had the chance?

Chapter Text

It was only a couple hours later when Izuku woke up from his self-inflicted knock out, the feeling of Déjà vu hitting him like a truck when he smelled the familiar smell of the nurse's office.

"What time is it?" He jolted up on his bed as he looked at the clock, rubbing his eyes to get a clearer sense of vision.

"Oh my god... I miss everyone's matches!" Izuku groaned out in frustration, before being inevitably hit by a cane right in his shins a few seconds later, courtesy of the famous Recovery Girl.

"... I know I kinda deserved that but OW!" He yelped while grabbing onto his leg, trying to sooth the aching pain from where the cane hit him. How did his spider-sense not warn him of this?!

Recovery Girl looked at him again before shaking her head, sighing in exasperation at the situation. "Isn't one broken arm enough for the day young man? Even my quirk have limits you know, I couldn't heal your whole arm in one session from how exhausted you were so the cast will have to do for now." She began pointing at his arm which, huh, he didn't even notice that before. What happens if he tries to mo- Yep, it's painful alright.

"I don't suppose I'm getting off the hook that easily?"

"Oh no, you're sitting there and letting me check every single thing that I can possibly check as a nurse in this establishment."

"... And how long does that usually takes?"

Recovery Girl huffed out a snort. "An hour if I'm feeling myself, though I've been feeling a little more tired by a certain student that keeps getting in here with injuries even though the day isn't even over yet."

Izuku raised his hands up in defeat. "If I promised really hard not to do that, can you please let me go? This suit's getting stuffy and I promise I won't break my bones again!"

"Don't make promises you can't keep young man, especially when it concerns those quirks of yours... But fine, just let me do a quick check and I'll let you leave... I better not see you come here to fix a bone before the week is done you hear me?" She relented as Izuku whooped, a bright smile covering his whole face.

"I'll try, thanks Recovery Girl! You're now my new second favourite person including All Might!"

The old heroine actually chuckled at that one. "I'm honored. Who's first then?"

"Well, my mom, duh."

She hummed in amusement ."Such a mama's boy, now, turn around let me check you, last I check you've got 8 bruised ribs that still needs attending to"

Ooooh, so that's why his sides were in total agony.

15 minutes later.

'I'm here! Freaking finally! That took way longer than it should've.' Izuku breathed out a sigh of relief as he stood infront of his class room door, adjusting his cast for more comfort.

He left Recovery Girl's office after the 5 minute checkup was done, but, as the school was twice the size of a freaking stadium, he got lost and had to find his way back here with only his memory and sore legs.

Could he have asked for directions? Yes.

Was he willing to go into a social interaction at this point in time? No.

So he just suffered in silence as people kept glancing at him whenever he walked past, his anxiety kicking back up as he kept searching and searching until he finally found the door to his classroom, getting back to where he was now in the present.

Izuku slid open the door tiredly, not exactly expecting the next thing that was about to greet him.

"MIDORIYA!" Several of his classmates jumped to him as they yelled out in excitement, seemingly... Glad to see him? Now that was something Izuku wasn't used to.

"Uh, hey guys, how's it going?" Izuku asked awkwardly, not knowing what to do in a situation like this.

Kirishima was the first to say anything, moving closer to Izuku with his shark like grin that reminded him of his blond friend. "You were freaking awesome out there dude! No wonder you took first in the entrance exam, you're always ready to fire up!" The boy complimented Izuku, which took him completely by suprise. Are they... Actually complimenting him???

"The way you went toe to toe with Bakugou without breaking a sweat was incredible! I don't think anyone here could've did what you did. Well... Maybe except for Todoroki but other than that, you're the toughest guy around!"

Izuku broke out of his amazed stupor. "Huh? What did he do?"

"Eh, long story short, he frozed an entire freaking building with one foot."

Ah. Yeah. Izuku can see why they'd come to that perfectly reasonable conclusion.

"Y-Y-Yeah, I-I-I'm still f-f-freaking c-c-cold from that." Hagakure said shakily from the corner while her uniform vibrated in the air, with Ojirou lending her his jacket to help her deal with that.

The tailed boy rubbed at his head awkwardly. "I wasn't that affected by it cause my costume had some warm insulation in it, but uh... She wasn't... Uh... She... Didn't have 'enough protection' against the ice... Yeah, that." He coughed into his fist at that last part, getting a headtilt from Izuku but otherwise received no other response from his classmates.

"Admittedly, it was because of your match that we got all fired up as well!"

"Oh? Well... Uh... No... Problem? I... Don't really understand why you would get that because of me though..." Izuku admitted shyly, scratching at his chin.

Sero gave him an incredulous look. "You kidding dude? You destroyed a building in one punch! How can we not get fired up from watching that? You gave it your all so it was fair that we did too." He ended with a wide grin and a thumbs up.

"Well... I gues-"

"Well aren't you a look for sore eyes."

Izuku perked up at that sarcastic comment and tone, already figuring out who said that in the iconic 'I-will-gladly-fall-into-a-coma-for-a-nap' way that he knows oh so well.

He smiled brightly as he turned around. "Hitoshi! You're here!"

"Where else would I be? Besides, someone have to look after you after that crazy stupid stunt." Hitoshi said with a playful punch and a smirk, earning a pout from Izuku for that jab.

"Hey, for your information, it was a carefully constructed plan that I have laid out from the very beginning thank you very much." Izuku said sassily with a humph, not noticing that Uraraka was nearby when he said that and had a confused expression on her face.

"What are you talking about Deku?" She asked innocently. "I don't remember you said anything about that in our briefing-"

Izuku cleared his throat before she can finish that sentence. "Anyways, if you're here then Kacchan must be... Wait, actually where's Kacchan?" He looked around in confusion, wondering where his other friend could've gone to.

Kirishima sighed, rubbing at the back of his head. "We tried to get him to hangout here until you came back, but he just... Got all angry all of the sudden, cursed a bunch of stuff at us and left without even glancing back... Do you think something might've happened to him?"

Kaminari shrugged from across the room. "Beats me dude, but I gotta admit, I haven't seen anyone that can turn the word 'bitch' into that many variation without even stuttering once. It's honestly kinda beautiful how he does that so easily."

Izuku would've laughed at that, if his concern over his childhood friend was prevelant at the moment.

'I need to find him...' Izuku thought before starting his sprint to the school's gate, getting confused looks from his classmates, plus a concerned one from Hitoshi, who knew him well enough to figure what he was trying to do next. He should've followed him to make sure that nothing bad would happen, but... Something inside told him that Izuku had this handled anyways.

Katsuki was feeling royally pissed off, but can't exactly pinpoint one reason why.

Maybe he felt angry torwards his lost, that's certainly a fucking possibility. He's fucking Bakugou Katsuki for fucksakes! He wasn't suppose to lose at anything! No least in a fucking fight of all things!

He was this close to winning a perfect victory. But then, fucking Deku just had to pull that move out from his ass like a fucking.... Fucking something! And swept the victory out from his feet!

He should be angry at Deku, he should be fucking furious even! He should be demanding a rematch face to face against the bastard, show him who's the better fucking hero here at UA... But he... can't... for some fucking reason.

Every time he kept fucking thinking about facing his childhood friend now... His mind can only conjure up the image of a bloodied, beaten and battered Deku that he held after the battle was called, see the broken arm that made his stomach lurch, see the bruises that would be way too painful for even him to handle...

See the burn scars that was scattered all over Deku's body.

See the angry red charred spots from the new ones...

And the faded out old ones from before...

"God fucking damnit..." Katsuki grumbled under his breath in frustration as he approached the school's gate, the slight smell of burning fabric staining the air as his quirk threatened to blow up the straps holding his backpack together.

But just as he was half way there, a familiar voice called out to him

"Kacchan! Wait up!"

"Deku?" Katsuki asked in surprise, his expression softening up for just a fraction of a second before it turned back into the familiar scowl that Izuku knows all too well.

Izuku smile brightly, giving his friend a wave. "Heya! Miss me? Now, I know kinda look like-"

"Aboslute shit?"

"Uh... Not what I would've used but sure, I look like shit don't I?" Izuku responded with a chuckle, rubbing at the back of his head awkwardly, slowly realizing that he did not have any sort of plan whatsoever on how to talk to Kacchan about what happened in the lesson.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Is that fucking it? You fucking ran here just tell me you look like shit? I can't fucking believe this bull- Piss off and leave me alone if you're just here to mock me." Katsuki growled out angrily at the audacity of his friend, while also fighting his every instincts to look over Deku's injuries at the same time... It was very confusing.

The arachnid boy became frantic at that, flailing his arms around in nervousness. "No! That wasn't my intention! I just- I wanted to- I gotta- Ugh, I just wanted to talk about what happened during our battle!." He exclaimed in exasperation, wondering why everyone keeps accusing him of things that he wasn't trying to do.
