''Here we go…'' Izuku says, his voice muffled behind the metal plate mask he current wore as he stood in an empty field dressed in a bulky outfit, his right arm and leg completely incased in a boxy shaped machine that let of small pulses of light. With an inhale of breath Izuku raises his armored arm and twists a small nob on the back of the hand causing a pulse to run down his spine making him shiver followed shortly by a continuous dull humming sound that filled his ears. Nodding to himself for encouragement Izuku stomps his armored leg causing the dull hum to explode in a harsh screeching noise before calming down once more to a loud hum as the armored arm and leg gain small runic markings that glowed running down them. With a final nod of encouragement Izuku twists a nob on a pack wrapped around his waist that was the reached his knees, in doing this Izuku lunched from the ground in a blur into the air causing the peaceful plot of land to shake momentarily from the force.
This wasn't the first time Izuku had done this, it was his fifth, although doing it all these times it was always so…nerve wrecking at the start, he always had butterflies in his stomach when preparing the lunch but when he became airborne all those worries simply…vanished, became non-existent to him like the rest of the world while he levitated in the air.
Throwing the hood of his outfit over his head to cover his hair Izuku repositions himself in the air and comes to a stop from his constant climbing and looks around the area. ''About fifty meters…'' Izuku says to himself as he looks down at the field he'd lifted off from before redirecting his gaze to his home town and couldn't help but smile sadly, it brought some many great memories but some many more hurtful ones, he'd love nothing more to fly away, be in the sky forever as his release from the world but sadly he couldn't do that…He had his mother to care for, although she was in…okay condition she had a habit of not caring for herself properly due to the guilt of crushing Izuku's dreams of becoming a hero when he was young.
Sadly, for Izuku he'd been born a man in a woman's world, a world where only woman could have quirks and thus only woman could become hero's, it'd destroyed him when he learnt of this after wishing to become a hero himself like All-might but it couldn't be and that was the reality and so instead of grieving about it Izuku came up with a compromise…what he lacked in a quirk he made up for with excellent intellect and created the 'battle suit', a work in progress name, It allowed him flight, strength and also had a build in forcefield, the thing was practically made from junk metal he'd taken from the beach, in the end he created his battle suit with a purpose in mind, to prove to everyone, to prove to All might that he could become a hero.
After his suits first successful flight Izuku was left with some problems, a proper power source and a weapon to use, he already knew he could deal with the weapon but it'd be a problem, Japan didn't like people having guns, at all, especially with quirk users, this had force him to buy an old Russian sniper that was a wall mounted weapon that didn't work and refashion it for use, and it worked as seen when he tested it with normal bullets before moving onto his special bullets, he'd move onto that in a moment. The power source on the other had? Now that had been a massive problem to secure, at first Izuku used car batteries, though they only lasted a few hours before running out forcing him to think of an alternate energy source.
So he went for the more magical option, yes magic actually existed, at first he thought it was a quirk but a quick google search later and bam he ended up finding out it matched that of old descriptions of magic from warlocks from the middle ages. Though finding out magic existed wasn't much of a shock as he thought it'd be seeing as almost all the female population had 'magic' like powers. He had a lot of it, magic that was, it sort of made up for his quirklessness and he used it to power his machines since he couldn't use it for anything else which had massively disappointed him since when he first discovered it he was hyped to be a mage…
Now for his special bullets. Frankly in a world filled with villains with quirks a normal bullet wouldn't do so what where you meant to do? Make your own magic bullets of course! It was like enchanting really, just with explosive effects, his bullets blew up so it made up for his crap accuracy with his gun, depending on the type he used it could range from a small explosion to an explosion you'd get from a missile, it was pretty cool to watch it happen from a distance, though the only problem was it damaged his gun so he was force to constantly fix it until he could get something stronger to make it from.
''I wonder how Kacchan is…it won't be long now before she finished up school and moves onto AU high in the hero course.'' Izuku mutters aloud looking at his old school through the slits in his mask, he sighed heavily, although Katsuki has bullied him immensely after she discovered her quirk he couldn't quite let their friendship go and he stuck with her through it as she distanced herself from others and this continued until there 'friendship' had been dwindled down to a mere acquaintanceship between them and after he found out about his magic abilities? He completely dropped out of school and hadn't spoken to her since and that was well over two months ago, he could guess she'd be pissed when he met her at AU high for the entrance exam for the hero course, if they actually let him go to it that is…
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the dark thoughts of his old friend, Izuku moves into a fetal position in the air and tilts forwards before extending his body out and blasting off at about fifty miles an hour through the air, his shield protecting him as he flew through the air. From the air Izuku's town was a beautiful sight to see, generally most things where when you take a step back to actually get a good look at it, the homes, the streets buzzing with activity, the flaming and exploding shopping district…wait what?! ''What the heck?!'' Izuku shouts coming to a stop mid-air seeing the flaming shopping distract that occasional exploded.
Normally Izuku would have watched in awe as heroes would save the day but now he was meant to be the hero so he couldn't stand and gawk, plus it didn't help that the current heroes present were sitting around not able to do anything about the blazing inferno… ''I have a feeling I'm going to get in trouble for this…'' Izuku says to himself with a heavy sigh and ready's his rifle and looks through his scope to see if he could spot what was causing the inferno. ''Wait it's that villain from a few months ago!'' Izuku shouts in surprise seeing the sludge monster that had attacked him prior before escaping due to him accidently knocking it out of All might's pocket…that had been awkward when they found it out… Though now he could at least make up for it by blowing it up and letting the heroes get close to finish the job.
Moving his rifle away from his face Izuku shoves his hand into a small pouch on his vest and pulls out a clip of five glowing bullets and feeding them into the rifle before taking aim once more the loading automatically doing itself as he takes aim at the sludge monster. ''I'm going to miss…'' Izuku says to himself flatly before firing the rifle sending a streak of green light to the earth just missing the sludge monster causing it to look at the small bullet hole in confusion before turning to him with a grin. ''YOU MIS-'' The Grin was suddenly wiped off the villains face as the bullet explodes causing her body to separate and splash around and free the prisoner inside. ''Kacchan…?'' Izuku breaths out in surprise seeing Katsuki on the ground rubbing her head clearly disorientated by his explosion.
Moving forwards so he was just ahead of Katsuki Izuku deactivates his flying ability causing him to plummet to the ground and just in time to block an attack from the villain aimed at Katsuki while she was disorientated.
''Who the hell are you?! Some big shot hero wanna be?!'' The sludge villain shouts, her voice distorted by had a feminine ring to it. ''Get away from her!'' Izuku demands lifting his rifle and aiming at the villain who flinches backwards before coming to a pause her eyes widening in realization. ''You're a man…'' The villain whispers to herself looking Izuku up and down before slowly breaking into a state of semi-insane laughing that progressively got louder. ''HAHAHAHAHAHA! A man! A man of all things is what makes me feel fear! What an age we live in!'' The villain shouts through her laughter with a feral grin growing on her face making Izuku take an instinctual step backwards. ''B-Back off!'' Izuku stutters out to which he internally swore as the villain grinned seeing he was somewhat afraid of her.
''What ya go-'' Again the villain was suddenly silenced as Izuku fires a shot at her and gets a direct hit causing her to let out a shout of surprise as she's once more blown all around the place. ''I said to not come closer.'' Izuku says watching the villain slowly reform while glaring daggers at him. ''Oh you're gonna regret that buddy…'' The villain says darkly as she finally reforms. ''Good luck getting through my shield…'' Izuku says flatly, flashing his shield around himself to show it off the villain who lets out a snarl seeing his defensive ability leaving them in a tense standoff waiting for one another to make a move when Izuku suddenly heard a familiar laugh…above him. ''Huh?'' Izuku manages as something breaks through his shield and connects with his head, to which he found it was a boot, and used it as a spring board making him stumble while the person lunched themselves directly at the wide eyed and retreating villain. ''TEXAS SMASSSHHH!''Izuku's eyes widen behind his mask hearing the voice of All might followed by a deafening explosion making his ears to ring for several seconds when everything was said and done.
''Ow…'' Izuku mutters rubbing the back of his hooded head while looking at All might standing with a grin on her face as she looked at him before suddenly appeared in front of him with a tilted head and confused look in her eyes making Izuku comically jump back in surprise standing on a single leg. ''U-umm hi?'' Izuku asks unsure of what to say and gulps as All-might's eyes widen at his voice. ''Wait a minute I know you! You're that kid that made me loose this villain in the first place!'' All might says in surprise making Izuku chuckle nervously as his mask -somehow- sweated. ''O-oh would you look at the time! I suddenly have a-a occupation that fills up said time and need to go there immediately to complete a detrimental task to not at all get away from this situation of questionable legality I have suddenly found myself in!'' Izuku lies activating his flight and attempting to lift off only for All might to grab and stop him before he could move. ''You're not going anywhere! I have some questions! And so do the police…'' All might says wrapping an arm around Izuku's neck and pulling him into her causing his face to turn red under his mask as he began to stutter and sputter in embarrassment.
Izuku sat on the ground beside Katsuki who'd finally recovered, and she happened to be glaring death at him the entire time afterwards and continuously cussed him out until Kamui woods finally stopped her. ''C-can you all stop looking at me…please? It's bad enough with all the news crews…'' Izuku says as the group of heroes looked down at him in surprise having just found out he was male and had an ability like a quirk. ''It's sort of hard not to look, after all you're the first male quirk user…ever.'' Mt. lady says crossing her arms under her bust while looking down at him. Yeah they thought he had a quirk and he didn't have the guts to correct them about it…
''So kid when'd you start all this? Two months ago you defiantly didn't have any of this stuff on you.'' All might asks getting Izuku to sigh. ''It's been a thing I've been working on in secret since I discovered my quirk...'' Izuku says to All might who hums in thought while cupping her chin. ''Don't hurt yourself…'' Izuku says flatly seeing All might was suddenly thinking extremely hard if the smoke some coming from her rubbing her chin was anything to go by. ''AHA! You're planning on signing up to become a hero aren't you my boy!'' All might says a light bulb appearing above her head. ''Well…yeah I am but I don't know if they'll let me in because I'm a guy… it is an all-girls school after all.'' Izuku says sending a side glance to Katsuki who was now glaring death at him from her spot making him chuckle nervously and turn away. ''No need to worry about such thing! I'll recommend you myself if need be!'' All might says causing the group to gawk at her in shock. ''R-really!?'' Izuku asks getting a nod from All might along with large smile that showed her snow-white teeth. ''It's the least I can do for you young man!'' All might says placing her hands onto her hips
''Yes!'' Izuku shouts in happiness while fist pumping. ''Hm, a recommendation from All might herself? Even with the schools limits I'm positive they'd let him in.'' Backdraft says getting nods of agreement from the other pro heroes' present. ''Though I don't think a lot of the students there would take kindly to him, not a lot of heroes like men much due to their quirklessness and usually hold it above them and with him suddenly appearing? They might make him a target in training and especially during the sport festivals, I mean look at her she's glaring death at the kid.'' Kamui wood says pointing at Katsuki as an example. ''that's not really it…we happen to know one another…in a bad way'' Izuku explains with a nervous laugh as Katsuki's glare continues to intensify on the side of his head. ''Come on now stop glaring at the lad or I'll tape your eyes closed as well.'' All might says to Katsuki who lets out an angry growl but complies and looks away from Izuku who lets out a relived sigh.
''Well I don't see much point in keeping you here much longer and I'd prefer if the people didn't know about you for now since it could lead to you being hunted down by people who want to know how you got the ability to use a quirk.'' All might says looking over at the gathered reporters trying to get past the police currently blocking off the area. ''She's right we need to get him out of here unnoticed.'' Desutegoro agree's looking between Izuku and the growing crowd trying to get a glance of the heroes. ''I mean I could just fly out of here, Not like they could catch me or anything…'' Izuku says knocking his large metal leg getting a few metallic dings from it. ''Now that I look at it those things look like they're made from scrap metal, they even have rust and cracks on them…'' Mt. Lady says looking Izuku's battle suit with a frown. ''Aha…it sort of is?'' Izuku says turning his head away from the disappointed looks of the group at his recklessness.
''It's worked at least, five times to be exact.'' Izuku says looking back at the group trying to ignore the stares he was getting. ''Well this does explain why all the trash has been removed from the beach recently…as well as that giant creator also being there…'' All might says looking down at Izuku who lets out a hum. ''Yeah I used a lot of the scrap metal to make prototypes before finally getting the finished product…I then tested my bullets on what was left and blew it all up…'' Izuku says pulling down his hood and scratching his green hair getting an odd look from Katsuki who uses her quirk to break her restrains and pull the tape from her mouth. ''Oi Deku the hell happened to your hair? Why's a chunk of it missing?'' Katsuki asks looking at him with a miniature glare as Izuku swears to himself looking over at Katsuki who had a small amount of worry in her glare. ''One of my prototypes exploded in my face…I was left blind in my left eye and have a lovely little scar to prove it.'' Izuku explains to Katsuki whose eyes widen a fraction before returning to normal followed by her normal scowl to come to her face. ''You're a moron Deku and an idiot if you think you can become a hero!'' Katsuki says getting an odd look from Izuku. That was an unexpected change and thing to say all of a sudden…
''Wait so you've had one of those things blow up in your face and you still made them?'' Backdraft asks getting Izuku to nod. ''Yeah, sure it was a drawback and put me down but in the end if I wanted to be a hero I needed to climb over all obstacles and my blindness became one, so I climbed over it and continued to create my battle suit.'' Izuku explains pulling his hood back up covering his green hair and scar. ''Are you crying?'' Mt. lady asks looking at Kamui wood who had a small comical tear in her eye that suddenly vanished as Mt. lady pointed it out. ''No.'' Kamui wood replies flatly looking over at Mt. lady in a similar manner getting a raised brow form the giantess. ''So what are we to do with you two? I'm sure the police probably have questions about what happened, especially with you young girl! Do you know how much damage you've caused?!'' All might says turning to Katsuki and verbally chewing her out for her reckless actions. ''Why am I getting in so much trouble?! Izuku blew two giant holes in this place!'' Katsuki shouts pointing to Izuku who chuckles while scratching the back of his head at Katsuki trying to redirect the blame to him. ''Yes but he did it to save your life! But you in your anger set fire to the entire shopping district!'' All might says to Katsuki making her right eye twitch in annoyance while miniature explosions went off in her hand.
''Well…I'll talk to the police if I need to…but I really need to get home my mom's probably worried out of her mind about me.'' Izuku says getting All might's attention who lets out a sigh while brushing some of her blond hair out of her eyes. ''Go ahead, I'll be visiting you tomorrow anyways so I'll bring you to the police station then for some questioning about what happened.'' All might explains to Izuku who nods standing up and activies his battle suit and takes off leaving the group of female heroes to watch him fly off at high speeds. ''So…who's going to explain that we let him go to the police?'' Backdraft asks prompting everyone to look at All might who lets out a nervous chuckle while rubbing the back of her neck as two police offiers began to approach them.
''Dear god that was so awkward…'' Izuku says as he fly's through the sky heading towards his home as fast as possible, although today wasn't perfect it had still been pretty good, especially with All might saying she'd recommend him to a hero academy, of which he hopped was AU high seeing as it was the best of the best. He also got to field test his equipment such as his gun and shield power, although All might had broken through it, it still managed to block the villains attack, his weapon had performed well despite him missing once it still blew the villain to bits and the second time had gotten a better result as it was a direct hit so all and all today was a pretty good day…
''I'm home!'' Izuku shouts to his mother as he opens the door he'd landed in front of. ''Izuku! Here ha- OH MY GOD YOU'RE OUTFITS SCRATCHED AND SCORCHED! WHAT HAPPENED!'' Izuku could only chuckle nervously as his mother opens the door and immediately goes into panic mode seeing some of his outfit was slightly damaged. ''I'm fine mom I just got into a fight with a villain, though I was more than a match for her!'' Izuku says pulling off his metal mask and pulling his hood down to revel his scared face, the scar moving from his left eye around to the side of his head and ended at his ear, although it looked ugly it didn't deter Izuku from his dream. ''Oh Izuku! Don't worry me like that!'' Inko says bugging him getting Izuku to smile and hug her back. ''I won't mom.'' Izuku says reassuringly to his mother. ''Good! Now them I'm sure you're hungry after battling that villain! You can tell me all about it while we eat!'' Inko says grabbing Izuku by his unarmored hand and pulls him along into the kitchen to eat.
After changing out of his battle suit into normal clothes Izuku had explained in great detailed what had happened while he and his mother ate, from when he first lifted off to when All might had let him go, to say his mother was excited was an understatement, despite her age and appearance she was practically doing summersaults when Izuku said All might be vouching for him to get into UA, after calming her down Izuku went on to talk about new possible additions to his battle suit he could make before finishing up and moving off to his room leaving his mother to herself once more to clean the dishes and watch the T.V to see if she could watch what had happened between her son and the villain.
''I really need to make new adjustments to my suit…like a better defense…my shields good but that way All might unintentionally broke through it defiantly shows it won't be a perfect defense for me in the future…maybe metal plate armor running along my other arms? And my back is really exposed as well should I get some sort of armor for it?, although it'd weight me down it'd make up for it with a better defense especially against blade attacks and bullets…though it'd be bad against blunt attacks and explosives.'' Izuku muttered as he drew different concepts into his small booklet along with notes on how to create them and what to use to make it.
''Then there's weapons, although I have my rifle it won't be as effective in closer range so I need some sort of side arm or maybe an automatic weapon? Both would help me so I should probably get both but that leads to where to store the automatic weapon? I already have slite problems holding my rifle as is so I'd need to choose between them unless I made some sort of storage compartment attachment to the armor though that'd add more weight and make me slower and easier to hit…'' Izuku continued to then mumble about possible weapons to use with his battle suit, although defense was great it meant nothing if you couldn't beat those attacking you, they'd simply continue to attack until the defense crumbled to dust…
''Izuku…you're rambling really loudly again.'' Inko says getting Izuku's attention from his booklet and onto his mother who was standing at the door with a worried look on her face. ''Sorry mom I'm just trying to think of ways to make the battle suit safer for me…'' Izuku explains rubbing the back of his head with a small chuckle as his mother walks in and takes a look at what he'd drawn. ''Your drawings look very detailed for simple concepts.'' Inko comments looking over the finally detailed drawings he'd made in such short time causing Izuku to blush at the compliment. ''Well…you could just have one gun that can transform into different modes perhaps? Or use different bullets for different ranges, it'll save you having to carry a bunch at once.'' Inko suggests to Izuku who mauls over it in his mind for a few seconds. ''that's…actually a really good idea! I can't believe I didn't think of it!'' Izuku says getting a pleased smile from his mom before an awkward silence suddenly forms between them at Izuku's outburst. ''Umm…I know this is sort of odd to ask but could you help me mom…?'' Izuku asks breaking the small silence had lingered over the mother and son. ''Of course dear, I'd be happy to help!'' Inko says practically shining with happiness at Izuku asking her for help. ''Thanks mom…you're the best…'' Izuku says pulling his mother into a hug before turning to his booklet again ready to improve for his next leap in life to become the best…
…Completely unaware of how he'd one day become the world's greatest hero…
