Can I be a Hero?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"All men…are not created equal. This was the reality I learned about society at the age of four. And that was my first and last set back."-Izuku Midoriya.

/

It was a bright, sunny day in the city of Musutafu, Japan. And within this city a green haired teen was desperately running as fast as he safely could in a crowded area.

This was Izuku Midoriya, a young man at the age of fifteen, and who stood at about five and a half feet (170 cm). He had a decent build, not overly bulky but not scrawny ether. He had dark green hair and four freckles on each cheek.

Isuku was currently on his way to see the latest villain attack. In front of him at Tatooin Station, a gigantic villain had brought traffic to a stop.

"That's a huge villain! I wonder what he did?" Izuku wondered.

Suddenly, the villain bashed one of the powerlines by the track. It began to fall towards the defenseless civilians below. Luckily Death Arms, a pro hero who was known for his powerful arms, was there to catch it before it could harm anyone.

"That will definitely send his popularity up." Izuku mumbled to himself while writing in his notebook. "It also looks like Backdraft is here to keep the populous back. That became the standard after some kids decided to get a closer look at a villain fight I believe. I think one of them is STILL in the hospital."

Izuku soon heard some people in the crowd talking about the situation. Izuku decided to listen in, hoping to find the reason for the villains rampage.

"But man, turning into a monster's an amazing Quirk. What did he do?" One guy asked.

"He stole someone's bag and went out of control when he was cornered." Someone answered back

'Seriously!? He has such a wonderful Quirk and he decides to steel someone's purse!?"

'That's…just pathetic.' Izuku thought to himself in disbelief. He could never figure out why people with amazing Quirks sometimes do petty crimes such as this.

Just then, Izuku noticed a new player quickly approaching the location of the crime.

"Isn't that…it is! It's Kamui Woods!" Izuku said while furiously writing in his notebook. "The young and talented rising star! It won't be long till he hits the top ten!"

Izuku watched as the young hero easily corner the villain using his wood Quirk and was about to rap him up in his wooden bindings. Or at least that was the plan till…

"Canyon Cannon!" Came a new voice. A large women came flying in to deliver a powerful kick to the giant villain who, despite his own large size, was way smaller than the new comer.

At the sight of the giant women, several photographers started taking hundreds of pictures while saying 'here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is' like men possessed.

"Today is the day of my debut! My name is Mt. Lady. A pleasure to make your ass-quaintance." The new hero announced.

"Tell me she didn't just…" Izuku asked in disbelief.

"Oh yes she did." An old man responded from besides him.

"Sigh…you got to feel bad for Kamui Woods. She stool all the credit." Izuku said while writing about this new hero in his notebook, briefly noting that her Quirk could easily do more damage to the city if she wasn't careful.

"Well, it looks like the excitement is over. I got to run before I'm late to school. Again."

Izuku quickly turned and ran to his shabby middle school. Oh how couldn't wait to get away from it.

/

Like always, school was both boring and stressful. Not only did he have to trudge his way threw another boring lecture about a topic he already knew, he also had to deal with being picked on by the other kids for something out of his control. Little did he know his life will be changed forever after that today.

"Since you're all third years, it's time for you to think seriously about your future. I'll pass out handouts for your future plans now, but…" The teacher began to say. Izuku was mostly ignoring him, but only because he has yet to decide whether or not he was going to aim for U.A., a smaller hero school, or a regular high school. He also noticed that as the teacher spoke, the students started to use their Quirks. Which was illegal to do out of a regulated area or without permission. "…You're all…pretty much planning to go into the hero course, right?"

"YES!" All but two students shouted while showing off their Quirks. Which was still illegal!

"Hey teach! Don't lump us all in the same group. I'm not gonna be stuck at the bottom with the rest of these rejects!" A arrogant blond-haired kid said with the most punkish voice on the planet.

'And here comes Bakugo, turning everyone around him into enemies with his attitude. Someone REALLY needs to curve that attitude of his before it gets him killed.' Izuku thought as he shook his head and went back to planning his future.

"That was uncalled for, Katsuki!" The class yelled in anger.

"You all should shut up like the extras you are!" Bakugo told the class.

'Does he always have to call everyone extras?' Izuku wondered.

"Oh, if I remember correctly, you want to go to U.A. High, right, Bakugo?" The teacher asked.

'Why would you need to remember? It's not like he kept that a secret. He's been telling EVERYONE that for eleven years!' Izuku wondered again.

"U.A.? That national school?!"

"It was in the top 0.2% this year, you know!"

"Their acceptance rate's always really low, too!"

'Why is everyone surprised at this!?' Izuku was seriously questioning the intelligence of the entire school. Then again, they let Bakugo get away with bullying so he can be accepted into a hero course so…

"That's exactly why you guys are just extras! I aced the mock test! I'm the only one at this school who could possibly get into U.A. I'll definitely surpass All Might and become the top hero! My name will be inscribed on the list of top earners!" Bakugo rambled on about how great he was for the remainder of class. And then the remainder of school. Izuku really hated this school.

/

At the same time in another part of the city.

A scream and a cry of 'thief' was heard all the way down the street.

"Catch me if you can!" came the voice of a sludge like man as he quickly ran from the scene of the crime with what looked to be several bills stuck in his goop.

"Huh? There's no hero around."

"Normally someone would come right away."

"This guy's taking advantage of the chaos from this morning. There are tons of people around who don't know what to do with their Quirks."

"There's no end to them."

Came the idle chatter of the civilians watching the villain without even thinking about helping like the sheep they are.

"There is an end. Why? Because I am here!" Came a deep and powerful voice from behind.

/

"The incident this morning is all over the news. I gotta hurry up and get home so I can add it to my notebooks. This will be very helpful for my project." Izuku mumbled to himself as he put his things away. Only for his notebook to be snatched out of his hand. Izuku looked up to see who took his, and of course it was Bakugo. His personal tormenter. And the school bully no one wanted to mess with, not even the teachers. Not that they would do anything anyway. They all wanted him to go to a hero course, so they let him do whatever he wanted.

"What do you think you're doing, Deku? Huh? 'Hero Analysis for the Future'?" Bakugo read.

"Seriously?" The first of Bakugo's minions asked.

"Midoriya…" The second one said.

"Oi, give that back! That's really important research you just stole!" Izuku jumped up, trying to grab the stolen notebook.

Only for Bakugo to suddenly blow it up with his explosion Quirk, and then preceded to toss it out the window.

"AAHHHH! MY RESEARCH! Why did you do that Bakugo!" Izuku screamed while leaning out the window. Hoping to see his notebook in relatively safe condition.

"Most top first-string heroes have stories about them from their school days. I want the shine of being able to be called the only student to make it into U.A. from this mediocre city junior high school. I mean, I'm a perfectionist. So anyway, I know you are thinking of applying to U.A., don't. Got it you useless nerd?" Bakugo rambled/asked in his normal infuriating voice.

For his part, Izuku said nothing. Especially when Bakugo placed a smoking hand on his shoulder.

"If you wanna be a hero that badly, there's a quick way to do it. Believe that you'll be born with a useful Quirk in your next life and take a last chance to dive off the roof!" Bakugo said as he left the room, his two lackies fallowing him like lost puppies.

"You can mock me all you want, but at least I can live with the knowledge you will never be number one." Izuku mumbled under his breath. "After all, a hero doesn't tell someone to kill themselves."

Izuku went down to collect his now burnt and soaked notebook.

/

Later Izuku can be found slowly walking into a tunnel. From this point on, the future of the world, was in Izuku's hands.

'You decided back then, didn't you? That's right. Don't worry about what other people think! I didn't spend all this time training, just to give up now! Hold your head up high and plunge forward! I WILL BECOME A HERO!' Izuku thought to himself as he tried to cheer himself up.

Before Izuku could exit the tunnel, he heard a strange sound from behind him. He turned to see a large blob of a green sewage like substance rise from a manhole.

"A villain?!" Izuku shouted.

"A medium-sized invisibility cloak…" The villain spook. Izuku tried to run but the villain was faster. Soon, Izuku was on the verge of drowning in the villains sludge.

"Don't worry. I'm just going to take over your body. Calm down. It'll only hurt for about forty-five seconds. Don't worry, you'll feel better soon." The sludge villain spook while suffocating the young man.

'I can't…breathe…' Izuku thought in a panic as he tried to tear the villain off to little effect.

"You can't grab me. I'm fluid! Thanks for your help. You're my hero. I didn't think that he had come to this city." The villain said vaguely.

'My body…There's no strength…I'm dying…Am I dying? I'm dying...Somebody…save me!'

"It's all right now, young man. I am here!" A giant muscled man said as he jumped out of the manhole. "Texas Smash!"

The man sent a punch so powerful, its wind pressure splattered and knocked out the villain.

'All…Might…' Izuku thought before blacking out.

/

Izuku felt a strong yet light taping on his cheek. He also heard a man's voice call out to him.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! He—. Oh, good!" The man was none other than the number one hero, the most powerful hero in the world, and the symbol of peace itself. ALL MIGHT! Izuku had a small panic attack. It's not every day you get to meet your hero after all.

"I'm glad you're okay! Sorry 'bout getting you caught up in my villain fighting. I don't usually make mistakes like this, but I was in high spirits on my day off in a new place. HAHAHAHAHAHA! But, you were a big help. Thanks!" All Might than held up a two liter, which looked small in the giants hand, that held the villain from before. "I captured him safely!"

"Don't…don't mention it. All I did was get caught." Izuku timidly said. "Oh, right! I got to get his autograph."

Izuku searched his bag to find his notebook and pen to get the hero's signature. Only to find he already did.

"Thank you very much!" Izuku said to the number one hero

"Well, I need to take this guy to the police. See you again on the other side of the screen!" All Might prepared to take his leave.

"Wait! There is something I need to ask you!" Izuku said while grabbing onto the hero as he took off.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let go of me! Your fanaticism is too much!" All Might yelled to the young man.

"If I…let go now…I'll…I'll die…!" Izuku shouted back as the air hit his face.

"That's true."

"There…is something…really important…I need…to ask you!"

"Okay, okay! I get it, so close your eyes and mouth!"

Luckily, they were able to land safely.

"Good grief. If you talk to the people downstairs, I'm sure they'll ley you down. I'm seriously outta time, so I really must go."

"WAIT!"

"No! I will not wait!"

"Even though I have a useless Quirk that makes me less than quirkless…can…can I still become a hero?!" Izuku finally asked.

"A Quirk…that makes you…less than quirkless?" All Might asked.

The first chapter is finally done. It took me several days to get it wright, so I do hope you all liked it. There are a few things to note from this chapter.

First off, Izuku will not be calling Bakugo by his nickname. I just don't think Izuku should look up to someone like Bakugo, so they have burned all the bridges between them.

Secondly, Izuku will have a Quirk that he and everyone else thought was useless but will soon become very powerful. As to what that Quirk is…you'll just have to wait and see.

Thirdly, Izuku WILL be paired with Ochako. I just love those two together. But, if you guys want I can make it into a small harem if enough of you wish for it to be. I like to leave a few things up to you readers.

And lastly, you might have noticed I made Izuku not only taller but also less scrawny. This will be explained in the next chapter.

That's all for now! See you next chapter!
