"All Might talking in buff form"


This Story is an alternate look into Deku's life if he never met All Might. All the events that happened at the beginning of the story for example Bakugo blowing Izuku's notebook, and Bakugo being captured by the sludge villain still happens except Midoriya never ran into All Might and never tried saving Bakugo.


It was only the second day of summer vacation and yet Izuku Midoriya's mother has already sent him to run errands for her.

"This blows, I could be studying hero quirks right now but instead I have to pick up eggs and milk." He groaned.

He had already grabbed the groceries but Deku was unlucky and had gotten stuck between lots of other customers and had been waiting for 10 minutes

He finally made it to the register and put down his groceries, "Is this all for today?"

Deku nodded

"It'll be 1100 yen (10 US dollars)." The Cashier said.

He gave her the money and put his stuff into a bag and left.

While walking Deku took a back alley which would bring him to his house faster when suddenly someone popped out holding a knife

"You got money, put it in the fucking bag quietly." The Robber ordered.

"I don't have any money, I just spent it on these groceries." Deku reasoned showing him the milk and eggs.

"Don't lie to me dickhead, kids like you are always carrying money now put it in the bag before I end you right fucking here." The Robber ordered once more.

"I don't have any I swear just don't hurt me." Deku pleaded.

"Look like I'll have to kill you to find out." He said lunging at Deku.

Deku threw up his hands and closed his eyes. After a few seconds he opened his eyes to see the robber fidgeting on the cement. He glanced at his hands and saw sparks flying out.

'What do I just do?' He thought

He attempted doing what ever it was again on the robber by holding out his hand and came to the realisation that he was capable of firing chains of lightning from his palm.

He called the police and continued to walk home in utter shock. When he got home he gave the groceries to his mom and went to his room.

"I have a quirk." Deku realised. "I have a quirk." He said a little louder. "I have a quirk!" He screeched at the top of his lungs.

Izuku's mom came running in, "What are you screaming about, what's wrong.? She questioned.

"Mom follow me I have to show you something." He directed. They went outside and Izuku showed his Mom the new quirk by shooting lightning in the air

"I can't believe you finally have a quirk Izuku." Inko gasped bringing tears down her cheeks and hugging Midoriya.

Deku suddenly had a idea jolt into his head, "I'm going to enroll into U.A High School."
