Full Summary & Notes:
You're Next is an AU story of My Hero Academia that branches off after chapter 120 of the manga after Bakugou learns the truth of One for All and after Todoroki fails the provisional license exam. Not having a provisional license means not performing the duties of a hero, which bothers Todoroki to no end. And so Todoroki, with his own sense of justice and pride, must bend the rules and perform the duties of a hero under the guise of a vigilante with a secret identity. What happens once, happens twice and as Todoroki bends more rules to cater to his ideals, he enters a morally grey area of the world of heroes.
The list of main characters on the short summary change to fit who is important/relevant at the time of the latest chapter of this fanfic with Todoroki consistently being the main character.

Welcome everyone, thank you for taking your time to read this fic. The story starts off slow but picks up the pace as the story goes on. The story itself is going to be quite lengthy and with time and dedication I hope to have this story completed sometime in the future. Chapters will be revisited and fixed.
So, enjoy the ride because this will be a while!
New things introduced in the manga may also be mentioned/referred to here as well.
"Italics = Thoughts"
"Bold Italics = Flashback"
"I think I saw Bakugou and Midoriya walking towards this direction." Shouto Todoroki sneakily scurried across the campus.
BOOM! Todoroki jumped and brought his back to the nearest building, peeked the corner and after the dust had settled, spotted a wounded Bakugou fully pinning a wounded Midoriya on the ground.
"I win." Bakugou exhaustedly panted.
"What the hell happened? These guys, did they seriously just fight?"
"That'll be the end of it, you two." All Might in his regular form appeared before Bakugou and Midoriya.
Katsuki Bakugou had challenged Izuku Midoriya after All Might's final battle, coming to the realization that it was no coincidence that Midoriya and All Might's power were similar.
Bakugou couldn't look at his hero, "Why Deku? Why this guy?"
"What the hell are they talking about?" Todoroki brought his ear closer so that he could eavesdrop on their conversation.
All Might had explained to Bakugou his reasoning for selecting Midoriya as his successor to One for All and his belief that Bakugou and Midoriya at full potential would be a dynamic duo. At the end of it all, only one thing left had to be said.
"This secret, stays with us."
Realizing the conversation was done and before he was caught listening in on their conversation, Todoroki headed back to the dorms before the three of them did.
Todoroki entered his room, pulled out his futon from the closet and then threw himself onto it and just stared at the ceiling for a moment.
"What was that all about with them and All Might? Sure I always thought they were similar but Midoriya with All Might's power? Ridiculous. Nonsense."
"You were born with the sole purpose of surpassing All Might." Todoroki recalled the words that his dad, the number two hero, Endeavor said to him as a young boy.
"Even though I don't like him, I can't argue that being the number one hero was a dream we both share. A dream that wasn't ever possible as long as All Might was a hero. But if All Might really can and did transfer his powers to Midoriya, then he's the second coming of All Might."
"You All Might's illegitimate child?"
"No you got it all wrong! I swear that's not it…"
"The way you said, 'that's not it'. In other words, you have some connection to All Might that you can't talk about, whatever that might be."
"Tch." Todoroki began fidgeting in his futon before settling down. "I mean I always had a feeling starting back from the sports festival. But even after hearing it for myself, it's hard to believe that All Might for whatever reason, chose to transfer his powers to Midoriya. So there's another way besides quirk marriages to control what quirks someone gets.
Todoroki brought both hands above his face, his left hand small flames appeared on the palms. He began to slowly curl the fingers on his right hand until they formed a fist, a fist filled with an icy sensation.
"You're…next."
"Have some faith in your other students All Might."
Todoroki stopped using his powers and shoved both his arms under the coziness of his blanket that were covering him and the futon.
"You said that as if only Midoriya can take your spot. Where would that leave every aspiring hero that wishes to fill your void? I wasn't born to be second place like my old man. It's not my goal to be number two like he is either. I'm finally using both sides. If I can master both sides I'll be the number one hero. I'll be next."
