Chapter 1: A living legend

Every since he was young, Izuku was considered an outcast. It was due to his quirk that he was born with.

At the age of four, Izuku's quirk manifested. At first he was estatic that he received a quirk. It means that he was one step closer to be a hero like he was dreamed off.

But that changes everything when people started to fear him because of his quirks.

Midoriya Izuku was born with the Quirks which they called Ghoul. A powerful Quirks that enchanced his body. The Quirks give him a high physical capability than any people had.

His Quirk also gives him a high keen sense of smell, hearing and sight making it hard for people to sneaked on him.

He also had a strong regeneration that heals him almost instantly. This Quirk also gave him some sort of weapon.

The doctor called it, Kagune.

Kagune is a strong muscle-like protrusion that can form into any thing such as claws, wings and even tail.

Izuku is definitely happy with his Quirk. It was almost cooler than All Might's.

But there's one big problem regarding his Quirk. His Quirk gives him a strong bloodlust, making him easily rampaging and wrecking havoc if he was angry.

- Time Skip-

Izuku was walking through the streets dejectedly. He had just witnessed his idol, All Might, singlehandedly defeating a sludge villain.

It was awesome to say at least, to see your childhood hero defeating a villain in a single puched; almost making him jumping in joy.

Then he get the chance to have a proper conversation with his idol which makes him dejected.

All Might had told him that if he didn't used his Quirk, it just wasn't possible for him to be a hero.

Izuku turned his gaze towards the darkening sky, reflecting on the revelations All Might had given him. He was still shell-shocked that the greatest hero was crippled, not that Izuku care much, since his own mother had a small and frail body, he knows how hard it is for people to have that kind of body. Izuku respected All Might even more for continuing to do hero work despite his disability.

But it still stung when All Might told him that he couldn't become a hero using his Quirk.

Izuku forced down his frustration. All he wanted to know if it was possible to be a hero without using this Quirk of his.

"I guess its okay."Izuku muttered to himself. "It gave me a chance to looked for other dream." He had thought about this ever since he was young. If he can't be a hero without using this Quirk then he'll simply looked for other way to helped people, even if they're scared of him.

"And Kacchan will be pissed if I don't become a hero."Izuku felt his mouth twitched upwards at the thought of his friend. Katsuki is a prideful and arrogant child, and was hard to be friend with, even a complete asshole, but they'd known each other since they were three and he was the only friend Izuku had.

The guy honestly had some major anger management issues. He always make big explosions and screamed at everyone for annoying him.

Suddenly his high keen sense of hearing, heard an uproar from a nearby street. He blinked and approached the crowd, trying to figure out what was going on. He spotted several heroes keeping the crowd back, away from a huge fire and a writhing mass that looked disturbingly similar to the villain that All Might had captured.

Izuku blinked and focus his sight on the scene before widening his eyes in disbelief. It really was the Sludge villain that had tried to possess his body earlier! The one All Might had captured!

"That villain must have escaped somehow."He muttered, looking at the scene before him.

It was a complete chaos.

"Everyone stay back!" That was Kamui Woods, shouting at the crowd. "The villain has taken a hostage! Please back away and remain calm!"

That must've been why the heroes weren't fighting the villain, Izuku realized as he worked his way to the front of the crowd to see better. From what he could see, none of the heroes had a Quirk that would work well against this particular villain.

Some were doing their best to put out the flames raging in the street, but they couldn't approach the villain himself. He found himself silently praying that All Might was nearby and would do something about this.

The villain suddenly turned so that Izuku had clear line of sight to the hostage's face. It was Katsuki. His eyes were wide in terror.

Izuku watched with his mouth gaping and before he even realize, he was running straight at them.

"What the-" Kamui wood blinked before roaring at the boy."Get back here!"

The heroes tried to stop him, but he easily went passed them. He jumped straight at the sludge villain with his fist pull back.

The sludge villain easily recognize him, since his eyes overcome with anger at the sight of the green haired boy.

The villain forced Katsuki's body to move, causing several of the boy's explosions to burst out in Izuku's general direction. They missed him, but the blasts destroyed a car and made the fire around them rage further out of control.

He hurled his backpack at the villain, smacking the bag right on his eyes, forcing the villain to recoil in surprised.

Izuku desperately pulled the sludge stucked on Katsuki, trying to free his friend as fast as he can.

"Deku! The hell you doing here!"Katsuki gasped, glaring at him as the sludge was pulled away from his mouth.

"Saving your ass!" Izuku angrily retorted.

"Get lost! You cannot do anything without you're quirk!"Katsuki roared at him.

"I can't helped it! My body moved on its own!"Izuku angrily shouted back.

Somewhere around the crowd, All Might widened his eyes hearing the boy's word.

"You're little brat!" The villain snarled, forming a huge fist of sludge to pulverize him with. To make matters worse, the villain had gathered up bits of sharp metal from nearby debris. If that hit Izuku head on, it would make a kill him, even with his regeneration. "Die already!"

In the crowd behind them, All Might lunged forward in his muscle form. He couldn't ignore what Izuku had just said. He was already kicking himself for letting the villain escape and now this boy had taken it upon himself to act when no one else had done a thing. He felt so ashamed of himself that his deteriorating condition flew to the back of his mind so that he could save the two boys before him.

Izuku stare at the villain in odd calmness, watching in slow motion as the blow coming down on him slowly.

Katsuki seeing the eyes slowly turns red, felt his mouth forming into a large malicious grinned. "Teme..Deku!"

Suddenly two long tentacles pierce right into the villain's body, making him staggered while spitting out bloods.

All Might watched in disbelief as the boy jumped towards the villain, eyes turning red.

"You little shit!"The sludge villain roared, leaping towards the boy with both fist forming into a drill.

The heroes rushed at them, trying to stopped the villain. Even Mount Lady was pulling back her fist.

All Might acted in that instant, creating a blast of air with a single, overwhelming blow towards the ground. "Detroit Smash!"

The explosion of air pressure blew all the clouds away and knocking both Katsuki and Izuku off, saving the green haired boy from being pierced.

All Might blinked as the muscles-protrusion on the boy's back vanished instantly. His experienced eyes surveyed the injuries that the boy sustained, it was regenerating faster than he could see!

Can I become a hero without using my Quirk?! I want to make people stop fearing me and save them with a smile on my face

'This boy.'All Might eyes narrowed at the boy. 'Is this what he'd meant?'

My body moved on its own!

All Might soon found himself grinning like a loon.

He had found a legitimated successor!

- Time Skip, Few hours later.-

Izuku was quiet on his way back to the apartment. Following a quick medical checkup to make sure he was alright and a brief chewing out from some of the heroes, he was dismissed and allowed to go home.

None of that really bothered him since Katsuki had ended up being alright as well. That was obvious enough when the boy yelled at Izuku to join Yuuei and be a hero since he'd used his Quirk,

Or rather, jumping into danger without thinking straight.

He tilted his head back so he was looking at the sky with a despondend expression. "I did it again."

"I AM HERE!"

Izuku nearly jumped out of his skin as All Might came racing from out of nowhere and ended up standing on the street in front of him. "A-All Might?! What are you doing here?!"

"Just wanted to chat." All Might said before spitting up blood as he reverted from his muscle form into his skinny true form. He wiped the blood from his chin and looked at Izuku with a raised eyebrow. "What's up with the long face?"

"Ah- oh, it's nothing," Izuku said waving his hands back and forth with a sweatdropped on the back of his head.

"I see," the man grunted. He studied Izuku for a moment. "That was some Quirk back there."

The grip Izuku had on his backpack strap tightened. "I guess."

"You told me earlier that you were scared of your Quirk." All Might went on, his eyes boring into the nervous child. "Why?"

"I-I didn't want to used my Quirk since it scares people."Izuku looked away with a sighed. "It even scares me sometimes."He mumbled.

All Might had a hunch about what was going on here. Seeing those red eyes, muscle like protrusion.

"You're that boy from five years ago."All Might said in realization.

Izuku clenged his fist and looked away. He widened his eyes as he felt a hand on his shoulders. He looked up and saw a grinning All Might. "Kid. I want you to be a hero."

"But people will be scared of me! I'm Haise! The boy that killed hundreds of people just because I can't control my Quirk!"Izuku exclaimed in disbelief.

All Might sighed. "Kid. Those people you've killed are villains. It was at the right time that you appeared on that moment."Izuku clenched his fist harder.

"But you can show them what it means to be a true hero."He said

"But I don't have the means to be a hero."Izuku mumbled, looking away. He was startled when he heard his idol laughed.

"Are you kidding me! You're a true hero!"All Might said joyously. "You rushed into the fray just to saved your friend from the villain and you even used you're Quirk even when you're fear that people will scared of you."

"Can I truly become a hero?"Izuku asked, voice filled with hope.

"I'm sure kid." All Might said before snapping his fingers. "Which remind me," He began.

"I've deemed you worthy of inheriting my power." All Might jabbed a finger at his direction.

"Huh?"

"I'm talking about my Quirk. Listen up kid," All Might spread his arms out to either side of him in a grand gesture. "My Quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch that is given from bearer to the next!"

"What?!"

"And I've tagged you as my inheritor."

Izuku was trying to process everything All Might had said. He still can't believe that he was chosen for this powerful Quirks.

"But I already had a Quirk."

"It doesn't matter to me," All Might told him gently. "If you don't want to used your Quirk than just rely on One for All. What you do with your Quirks is your choice but I still want you to learn to use it."

The hero laughed as Izuku lifted his hand to wipe his eyes again. "Of course, it's up to you! If you trained enough, you could become a hero with just your Quirk or you could join the Support Class at Yuuei."

Izuku shook his head. As if there was a choice to be made here.

He cleared his face of tears and gave All Might the strongest look he could muster. "I'll do it!"

All Might grinned. "I hope you're ready kid because I won't go easy on you!"

- Few hours later, Midoriya House-

Izuku walked into his home when suddenly brought into a strong hug by his mother.

"Izuku!" Inko Midoriya looked all over at her son for any injuries.

"Are you ok!? Are you hurt!? Do you have any idea how scary it is, watching your only son fighting a villain surrounded by fire and explosions!? I nearly had a heart attack! Never do that again!"

"I-I'm sorry, Mom." During his mother's worried rant, Izuku had moved from standing, to sitting on his knees and staring at the floor guiltily.

His mother sighed, "It's all right, as long as you're ok. Just please try not to scare me like that again."

"I'll try Mom." Izuku said, trying, and failing, to give her a smile, "I'll try."

- Morning, 7 am-

"Midoriya my boy! You are here!" All Might beamed at his new "apprentice" in his muscle form. They were standing on a sandy space of land, surrounded by mountains of trash.

"All Might. Try not to push yourself, you need to save your hero form for fighting villains." Izuku said worriedly.

"Ha! I may be old, but I'm strong enough for you to be worried about me!"

"All Might, your not that old. I mean your we're born at 3:48 on June tenth-"

"Midoriya my boy, that is slightly disturbing." All Might interrupted the beginning of Izuku's muttering, "Putting that aside, tell me, how much have you trained your quirk?"

"The last time I used it was yesterday."Izuku said sheepishly.

"Very well! How much have you trained your physical body?"

"What?"

"Your body my boy! How much exercising have you done?"

Silence filled the beach as Izuku avoid his mentor gazed.

"There is your pro-" All Might's muscle form finally gave out, causing him to suddenly spew blood, "-blem. Before we train All For One, we must train your body!"

"Why did you continue through your blood?" Izuku asked, slightly concerned.

"Never mind that! Your first step to becoming a hero is to clean this beach!" All Might yelled gesturing to the trash around them.

"This is a beach!?" Izuku asked in shock. "I always thought that this was just a junkyard! It's been like this for my whole life! But if there was always a beach-" All Might karate chopped the mumbler on the head.

"Enough muttering, get to work!"Izuku sighed, looking at the trash with a slightly twitching eyebrow.

And so, All Might began training Izuku Midoriya in order for him to become a hero. Everything was planned, sleep schedule, diet, training regime. Everything was scheduled for him to get into the best of shape.

All Might notice that his new disciple can already get used to All For One since his own Quirk got a powerful regeneration. Though, there's isn't wrong in training some more within these months before Yuuei exam.

- Nine Months Later-

"RAAUUUGHH!" All Might looked up to see a half clothed Izuku Midoriya standing on top of a piled of garbage, screaming at the sunrise.

"This kid."All Might felt a grinned appeared on his mouth."He finished one month faster than expected!"

"All Might! I did it!"

"Yes you did, Midoriya my boy! Yes you did." All Might looked across the spotless beach, not a piece of trash to be seen.

"Do you think I can get into Yuuei now!?" Izuku asked excitedly.

"Not yet kid."All Might shook his head.

"Huh?"

All Might plucked a strand of his hair, grinning widely as he looked at his disciple.

'Don't tell me!' Izuku eyes narrowed.

"I want you to eat this."All Might said, holding his laughter.

Izuku eyes twitched in annoyance."You got to be kidding me."

"Afraid not kid." All Might shook his head, laughing outloud. "In order for you to received All For One, you need to have a piece of my DNA in you."

Izuku groaned aloud."I don't have any choices didn't I?"

"Nope." All Might grinning. "Now bottoms up kid!"

"Fine."

Izuku gulped as he looked at his mentor's piece of hair on his finger. He closed his eyes and swallowed the hair whole.

'It felt awful!' Izuku thought to himself, grimacing as he did so.

Few more seconds passed before he looked at his mentor.

"What now?"Izuku asked, already guessing what it is.

"Now Its time for you to train your body." All Might said, hands in his waist.

"I thought we've already done it."Izuku asked curiously.

"This time its different." All Might laughed.

"How so?"

"This training is for you to get used of All For One. Now, get yourself ready! Young Midoriya!"

"Yes. Sensei!"

- Few Months Later-

Izuku gaped as he stared at the huge Yuuei buildings at the front of the campus. "Its really huge."He said, eyes wide in disbelief.

It has been almost ten months since Izuku had agreed to become All Might's successor and in that time, he'd put his body through an intense training. All Might had done almost everything in order to improved his body build.

He'd definitely bulked up even though its nothing compared to his mentor. Its still impressive for his age.

"Deku!"

Izuku startled from his thoughts as Katsuki growled at him. "Hey Kacchan."

Katsuki grinned maliciously at his friend."You did come. I thought you've quit already you damn pussy."

"Hehe." Izuku said sheepishly. "I thought I gave it a try for the Hero Course."

Katsuki sweatdropped at him."Dude, you haven't used your Quirk for who knows how long. Do you even remember how?"

"It'll be fine." Izuku waved him off. They were walking towards the entrance together now. "I just want to try at least."

"Good." Katsuki scoffed in annoyance. "Cause you're an idiot for being a pussy."

Izuku sweat-dropped. 'That kinda hurts. Though he made a valid point. I shouldn't have been scared of my own Quirk.'

Katsuki even though he's an ass to everybody, sometimes shows that he cares in his own different way. Izuku smiled as he watched his friend swagger

It just sad that not everyone can see like how he sees it.

"You're getting into Yuuei right?" Katsuki demanded glaring at him.

Izuku nodded smiling slightly. "I'll guess so. Even if I've fail, there's still the support course. I can get into that easily."

"Nerd." Katsuki scoffed at him. He glared at some of the examinees glancing at their direction. "Just make sure you don't fail or I'll burn your freaking ass off."

"I got it." Izuku promised.

Izuku suddenly stopped walking, irritating Katsuki who looked at him annoyed.

"Why'd you stop idiot." Katsuki growled.

Izuku sheepishly rubbed his head."I almost tripped on my own shoelaces."

Katsuki felt his eyes twitched before hearing someone called out to them.

"Are you okay? I saw you almost fell down."

The boys looked back to find a teenage girl standing there with her hand almost on Izuku's backpack. She had shoulder-length brown hair, big brown eyes, and rosy red cheeks.

"Anyway, since you're okay. I'm going ahead. Good luck on both of you."The girl smiled and walked off.

"She's nice." Izuku decided. Katsuki just stared after her annoyed before scoffing. "I don't need luck."

Izuku laughed. "Sure you don't."

- Auditorium-

Once they were in the auditorium, the lights hit the stage and they were greeted by a Pro Hero named Present Mic. The man had a wild haircut, spiffy glasses, and a big speaker fixture wrapped around his neck.

"Welcome everyone to my live show!" He shouted into the mic and jabbed his fingers out to either side of him at the crowd. "Everybody say HEY!"

He put a hand to his ear, but all he got was silence.

"Tough crowd!" Mic laughed. "Whatever! I'm gonna give you the run-down on how this exam is gonna go! ARE YOU READY?!"

"This guy is annoying." Katsuki growled beside him.

"Pay attention, listeners!" Mic shouted. "We'll be seeing if you got skills to pay the bills in a ten minute practice run at our replica-city district! You can take whatever equipment you want, just gather at your designated meeting area after my presentation, ya dig?!"

Katsuki looked from the card he had for his test to the one Izuku had, noting that they were in different districts. "It's set up so that we can't work together with people we know, huh?"

"That makes sense," Izuku muttered. "It'd be too unfair if some people had others helping them out to stock up on points."

"That's fine, though," Katsuki dismissed. "If you got stuck in my exam, I'd end up taking all the points for myself, anyways."

Izuku wasn't at all insulted by his friend's greed for points. That was kind of the objective here, after all.

Mic was talking again. "There'll be loads of faux-villains spread all over the battlefields and each one will be rated as a One, Two, or Three pointer! Your job is to use your Quirk to take out as many of them as you can and rack up a high score! Also, you can't attack other competitors directly! That's nasty anti-hero stuff and it's against the rules, ya dig?!"

"Excuse me!"

All eyes were suddenly drawn to a student in the stands. It was a young man wearing glasses who bore a very stern expression on his face. "On the handout, there are clearly four types of villains listed! If this is an error, then it's a huge embarrassment for a top-tier national academy of Yuuei's caliber! What is the meaning of this?"

"Also, you!" The other teen suddenly twisted to glare at Izuku who raised an eyebrow. "Quit muttering to yourself! We're tr-"

The boy got silent as realization flashes in his eyes.

It was silent for few seconds.

"That's weird. Anyway, " Mic pointed at the teen with the glasses. "You make a good point young man, so let me explain! The fourth type of villain is called the Zero Pointer! It's a big gimmick that goes wild in tight places, ya dig? If I were you, I'd do my best to avoid that sucker!"

"I see! Forgive my interruption!" The teen made a huge bow and sat back down.

"Welp, that's enough from me!" Mic went on. "I'll leave you with a quote that my academy prides itself on! Go beyond! Plus Ultra! Now get out there and have a great time suffering this trial!"

- Yuuei Test Location-

Izuku whistled at the massive duplicate city laid out before them. As expected of Yuuei, it was a top of the line and was notorious for going to extremes to train heroes.

Izuku glanced around at some of the other students, he noticed that some of them had equipment to match their individual Quirks.

'Maybe I should get myself some equipments. Well not that it matters since I got my kagune as a weapon.' During the time of his training with All Might, he had learn to embraced his own Quirk.

"Excuse me. May I asked some question?" Izuku went stiff as a board at the sound of that awfully familiar uptight and stern voice.

"You are Haise are you not?" The glasses-wearing teen who had called him out walked over to him. There was a cautious look in his eyes.

Izuku sighed as several kids backed away with some muttering among themselves.

"Is there a problem?"He asked sighing. Though, The teen could see the warning looked sent to him.

He backed away fearfully "N-no! O-of course n-not!"

Izuku sighed and narrowed his eyes at the massive buildings scattered all across the field.

'I'll show the world.'

"START!"

Everyone stopped and turned towards Present Mic, who was standing on an observation tower. They all looked confused, but the Pro laughed and yelled again. "What are you waiting for?! There ain't a countdown in a real battle, you greenhorns! Get those legs moving!"

Izuku had already started sprinting the moment he heard those words. Other examinee swiftly followed him.

'I'll show the world that I'll be a hero!'

Hey Guys! Yeah, New Story.

I'm in loved with this manga and anime the moment it came out. So I just have to make it.

Izuku Quirk is based on Haise himself! Ghoul as a Quirk is awesome!

Anyway,

Review please.
