Isn't it fun to be inspired by new ideas from others works, it's what I like to call being inspired in an era losing originality in idea's, don't you all think so?

Aldera Junior High - Morning

"You guys are all third-years now. It's time to start thinking seriously about your futures!" the teacher explains to us. With slight excitement the teacher says "I could pass out some career aptitude tests but…" he raises a stack of papers in his hands which would be the aptitude tests. The teacher then tosses the papers in the air and says with joy "I assume you all want to be heroes!"

Everyone cheers as they show for their individual quirks except for three people. The teacher tries to control the class by saying "Yes, you all have wonderful quirks. But you know that it's against the rules to use them in school!"

Suddenly, a loud and prideful voice yells "Sensei! Don't lump me in with these losers! As if I had anything like their crappy quirks." That is Katsuki Bakugou, or Kacchan by me and Izuku, his quirk gives him the ability to make explosions. He always believes himself to be the best in our class and is going to be the best hero, even better than All Might.

As the class boo and one of them says "Get over yourself Katsuki!!" Katsuki replies in a mocking tone "Shut up! Extras should act like extras!"

The teacher says in acknowledgment "Ah, Bakugou...you, of course. You must be aiming for U.A. High School."

The students chattered about U.A. like "That national school?! The cutoff score this year is 79, right?!" and "I hear they barely accept anyone!!"

An shy orange hair kid looks at Izuku and ask in a quiet whisper "Hey Izuku, is something wrong?" He seems to be very nervous and looks like he's trying to hide.

Bakugo then jumps on top of his desk and exclaims "Ah, the stupid chattering of extras! I aced the mock exam!! I'm the only one here with the stuff for U.A.! I'll even surpass All Might and become the best hero out there! Not to mention I'll be one of the richest people in the world!!"

Our teacher then says in realization "Oh, you're also going for U.A., aren't you, Midoriya?" This causes Katsuki to freeze in shock at this surprising realization, the orange hair kid looks at Izuku with surprise and admiration at this realization.

Everyone else turn to face him and then start laughing in a mocking way except Katsuki who looks very angry. The orange hair kid tries to hide himself behind his desk in case Katsuki lashes out, he feels so ashamed to be a coward. The students then say stuff like "Huh?! Midoriya?! No way!!" and "Good grades alone can't get you into the hero program!"

Izuku tries to stand up and defend himself by saying "Th-That's not necessarily true! Sure, there's no precedent, but…"

Unfortunately, Izuku was interrupted by Katsuki using his quirk to blast him away and yells "Come on, Deku!! Forget the crappy quirks. You're totally quirkless. And you think you can rub shoulders with me?! You suck worse than little coward Escanor over there!" He flinches at the call of my name.

Izuku tries to defend himself by saying " Wa-wait, no, Kacchan. I wasn't...saying I could compete with you! Not at all! I mean it. It's just...been my dream. Since I was little. And well...there's no harm in trying…"

Katsuki interrupted him and says angrily "Try?! Try what?! The entrance exam?! You're taking the exam just to "try"?! What can you even do?!" It very scary, the way they look at him, making him feel like the freak of the school, just because he doesn't have any powers. It would feel lonely, at least it almost would, if it weren't for Escanor being in the same boat.

After School

As soon as school is finished Escanor gathers his stuff and get ready to leave with Izuku. He looks over to his desk to see him looking at something on his phone, probably something about that incident this morning. Izuku then begins to pick up a notebook in which the cover reads "Hero Analysis for my Future, No. 13".

Unfortunately, Katsuki grabbed the notebook from his hand and says "We ain't done here Deku."

Some students next to him asks "What's that, Katsuki!?" and ""For my future"? Seriously?! This guy, Midoriya…"

Izuku pleaded to Katsuki "C-Come on, give it back!!"

Even more unfortunate is that Katsuki uses his quirk to blow up Izuku's notebook, without destroying it completely.

Izuku asks in complete shock "Why…?!" to which Katsuki throws the notebook out of the window, shocking Izuku more than Escanor, and says "The best heroes out there, well...they showed signs of greatness even as students. I'll be the first and only hero from this crappy public middle school! The first to win the honor of becoming a student at U.A. High. Guess I'm just a perfectionist." Katsuki then pat Izuku's shoulder, which he uses his quirk to make smoke come out, with a smile and continues "In other words...don't you dare get into U.A. nerd!"

This causes Izuku to shake in fear and despair as one of the other students says "Jeez...typical. C'mon, say something…"

To which Katsuki replies "He can't say anything. He's so lame. Even as a third-year...he still can't face reality." He then turns to slightly face Izuku and says "You wanna be a hero so bad? I've got a time-saving idea for you. If you think you'll have a quirk in your next life...go take a swan dive off the roof!!" Izuku looks back ready to punch him in anger until small pops and crackles appear on Katsuki's hand and he asks "Yeah? What?" Which stops Izuku dead in his tracks with fear.

Katsuki then looks towards Escanor to see if he has anything to say, to which all he got was a shaking wimp in its place, and Escanor hates it. As Katsuki finally leaves, Escanor moves next to Izuku and tries to think of anything to say or do to try and make him feel a little better. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything at all.

A little later outside the school, Izuku tries to get the remains of his notebook back from a small pond with fish with a pained look on his face. Escanor looks to him with a lot of confliction thinking "Kacchan, why did you tell him that, aren't heros suppose to prevent stuff like that, wouldn't you get in trouble if he actually did it?" Izuku finally grabs his notebook and the two start walking towards a bridge under a roadway. Izuku finally looks up, almost surprising Escanor, with a determined look, not being dismayed from what he desires. This causes Escanor to smile, glad to see that his friend has not completely lost hope.

It couldn't last as when they past a manhole cover, a slime creature slithered out of it and took the two student by surprise.

The slime creature says with evil intent "A medium-sized body...to hide in…" The slime man begins to cover Izuku and what looks like cutting off his air supply and says "Don't worry. I'm just hijacking your body. Calm down. It'll only hurt for about 45 seconds...then it'll all be over." As Izuku tries to scream but his voice is muffled, the slime creature looks to a shaking Escanor who looks terrified. The slime guy then looks at him with a fierce look which makes Escanor pass out in fear and possibly lack of oxygen.

The slime creature then says "I'm saved. You're a real hero. I never thought he'd show up in this town." Izuku tries scratching his way out but the slime man says "No point in trying that. I'm fluid, you see!!" Izuku looks out desperately, trying to remain onto hope that a hero will come to save, he desperately tries to stay alive.

Something surprising happens as the manhole cover suddenly flies and crashes to the ceiling then to the floor as a man with blond hair with two bangs that stand upward, wearing a basic white t-shirt and jeans that fit tightly over his fully defined masculine structure and a confident smile on his face say "Fear not kid!! I am here!" All might then prepares whats looks like is a straight punch as he says "TEXAS...SMASH"

The punch sends a powerful shockwave which causes both the slime man and Izuku to pass out from the shock.

Daytime - Streetway

From the blurry depths of darkness, both Izuku and Escanor emerge as All Might was trying to bring them both back to consciousness by gently slapping them both in the face.

As soon as both of them were fully conscious he stops and says relieved "Thank goodness."

Both Izuku and Escanor both are jolted awake being surprise by meeting All Might to which he says "You're okay!Excellent!!" All Might then makes a pose and continues "Apologies...for getting you caught up in my villain hunt. Mistakes like that aren't my style, but...this is a strange land to me. And besides I'm off camera!!"

All Might then shows two soda bottles filled with the slime man and continues "But my success here is all thanks to you two!! I've contained the villain!!"

Both Izuku and Escanor look at All Might with shock and awe at the sight of him and his aura of magnificence. Izuku then looks for some paper and a pen and says in a hurry "Oh! A-an autograph! Where's...Ah, my notebook...He already did it!!" To which when Izuku opens his kinda burned notebook, he sees a signature of All Might taking up two pages.

Izuku then quickly makes many bowing motions with his body while standing up and saying "Wowww!! Thank you so much!! What a treasure!! It'll be my family heirloom!!"

All Might then says while stuffing the bottles in his pants pockets and walking away "Now I must bring this fellow to the authorities! You can catch me again on TV!!"

Izuku asks with surprise and nervously as Escanor continues to look on in admiration "Um! Wait...is that it…? I…"

All Might interrupts as he squats, ready to jump, "A pro battles not only enemies, but also time. Until next time...thanks for your support!"

After a couple of seconds, Escanor finally awakes to his surrounding to which he realizes…..Izuku is not here. Escanor looks up to where All Might is jumping to, and his eyes bugged out to where Izuku might be and screams "IZUKUUUUUU!!!" Escanor then sighs in defeat at the weird circumstances that has just occured in the past few minutes.

Escanor then stands up, picks up his bag, and thinks "I guess I should wait a few minutes for them to get down and wait until Izuku asks the questions he wishes to ask. I guess I should go to the store while I have some time."

Later at a convenience store near his home, he starts looking at various produce and still thinking about his encounter with the slime villain and All Might. He thinks "That had to be the most scariest and amazing time of my life. Although I'm still ashamed that I didn't do anything to help him. If only I was as courageous as Izuku, maybe even All Might, then maybe even a quirkless person like me can do some cool things." After gathering all the stuff he needs for the next couple of weeks, he begins to walk to the register.

Suddenly, an explosion caught everyone in the convenience store by surprise. Everyone leaves in panic and terror at the confusion of what's happening. The only ones who seem to remain are only two people, a nearly unconscious Escanor, and another student the same age as him under some rubble.

Escanor was able to shakingly get back up and can see that everything around his is on fire or destroyed and as rubble. He looks around blearily or unfocused at what might have caused this to happens but can't find anything as his head was hurting. What actually caught his attention was the student his age buried under rubble. Escanor didn't have time to think as this person is in trouble and there doesn't seem to be any help nearby. He begins to dig and bury out the person that is trap. He was able to dig out enough to reveal the head of the student, it appears that it was a girl with a, now, messy bowl cut brown hair.

She appears to be regaining conscious as she finally see who is helping her in this dangerous situation. She notices something as Escanor tries to lift some heavy beams and a piece of an air duct, and is unable to do so. The girl student says weakly "L-lo-ok o-out!" Escanor got distracted for a second to figure out what she means. Unfortunately, it was too late, as some loose rubble above him finally broke down and fell on top of him, knocking him unconscious.

Escanor, trapped under rubble with nothing but darkness and pain, thinks "Is this it, is this how it's going to end? Am I...really going to die? I wish I could've done something right, even if it's just one time." As he continues his thought process, everything around him feels like a abyss of silence and emptiness. Feeling the weight of his supposed uselessness, he thinks "Why...was I even born. I'm such a disappointment."

A mysterious and unrecognizable voice calls out in the abyss "You, who is weak, spineless, and a coward. In the face of difficulty, strive to change yourself and has shown true courage. You not only wish to grow and improve, but even show kindness to those who treat you as insignificant. You...what is your name."

Opening his eyes, seeing nothing but darkness everywhere, except for a mysterious figure surrounded in light to the point where you can't see anything defining characteristics, answers weakly "Esca...nor."

Hearing his name the beings head looks up in thought and says "Escanor, huh. I haven't heard that name in a long time. No matter, I have decided that you, Escanor, are worthy of being my successor." The being then shows out his hand out and a sphere of light appears on it. The sphere emits a warm glow that gives a strange and comforting aura. The being explains "With this, it will give you the power needed to protect all that is important to you, will you accept it?" Escanor, awe struck at the glowing sphere, nods and begins to reach for the orb.

As he almost touches the orb, Escanor thoughts "So warm, it feels almost like the sun." Escanor then says without even thinking "It's...so beautiful."

The being seems to smile at that and says in acknowledgement "Indeed, as beautiful as the sun itself."

As soon as Escanor makes contact with the sphere, a strange sensation flows throughout his body. A feeling of power welling up and building, a feeling of strength making him feel powerful and unstoppable. It makes him feel like he stands on top of everything.

Evening - Convenience Store Remains

In the aftermath of the slime man and Katsuki incident, some of the pro heroes check around the destroyed area to see if there are anyone who was trapped during the incident. One specific hero wearing a casual blue zip up hoodie that fits tightly around her figure and a blue long skirt that reaches to the middle of her calves enters the destroyed convenience store to see nothing but rubble. She digs through some of the rubble until suddenly, a large figure pops out which surprised the people outside except for the female figure.

The figure that came out of the rubble looks to be someone around his 20s or 30s, with a very masculine body standing tall and proud with almost torn clothing except the remains of a white shirt and remains of a school uniform pants. He seems to be carrying an unconscious girl with a brown bowl cut on his large shoulder. The man looks around to check his surroundings till he finds the women wearing the blue hoodie. He then delicately takes the girl on his shoulder and gives it to the woman, in which she grabs the girl in her arms.

As the man begins to walk out the woman says with a curious tone "May I ask who you are?"

The man stops but doesn't look back as he replies in a proudly deep voice "I am the one who stands above all others, I am Escanor. And you should not address me in such a cavalier manner." Escanor then walks away to try and find Izuku to see if he is okay, meanwhile the woman holding the girl in her arms says to herself "Very interesting, I think I want to know more."

Evening - Streetway

On the way to Izuku's apartment, Escanor realizes that as the sun goes down, he starts to turn back into his weak and meek original form. This doesn't matter to him, as it would be difficult explaining to his aunt why he suddenly got big and muscular, and is acting all prideful like this in just one day. Although there is still the question about how to use this power and what to do now that he has this power.

A female voice calls out "Escanor, right?" Escanor turns his head to see the familiar blue hoodie and skirt wearing woman he met at the convenience store earlier.

Escanor replies "Do not address me in such a cavalier manner. Who might you be?"

The woman puts her hood down to reveal her black hair that reaches her shoulders, calm and curious golden eyes, and beautiful, almost glowing, skin. The woman then says "I am one of the pro hero's, my codename is Enchantress, but my true name is Merlin."

Escanor blushes at the beautiful woman that calls herself Merlin, he has never seen anyone as beautiful as her before. His prideful attitude slowly falters at the sight of her.

Merlin continues with her calm smile "I am curious about you, your quirk, it's different, very different."

Escanor with slightly wide eyes with surprise and amazement asks "How can you tell, isn't it like a strength increasing quirk?"

Merlin, still smiling, shakes her head no and replies "It isn't just that, it's something never seen before, and I want to know what it is...and…"

A curious Escanor turns a little more as Merlin finishes "...I want to give you a chance to use this power of yours."

Escanor turns fully, with much curiosity, and asks "What do you mean?"

Merlin seems to smile fully at catching his full attention and rephrase her question "Would you like to become a hero?"

Escanor eyes widen even more at the question that was imposed on him. Being a hero wasn't the first thing that he ever thought he would become. He was always weak, scared of a lot of things, and can never protect anything. He always thought he could live a normal life, at least, until this power was given to him.

He looks at his left hand and thoughts "I guess with this power, I now have the power to protect people. From pain and sadness. Like from the sadness I felt a long time ago."

Escanor looks towards the patient Merlin with pride and confidence and answers "I...accept."
