"No!" Inko gasped in surprise "There must be some mistake! The other kindergartners have all started to show signs, but..." She wanted to find some way the pediatricians messed up, but nothing was coming to mind.

She didn't major in biology or anatomy. "Pardon my asking ma'am, but you're a fourth generation of telekinetic users right? But over the course of your family history, that psychic power diminished correct?"

Holding her face, Inko levitated the All Might toy that her son dropped when receiving the news as she explained herself and her husband. "Yes, of course...I can pull small objects towards me. And my husband can breathe fire."

The doctor stood up and pointed at an x-ray of a human foot. "By the age of four, a child should manifest either one of his parents' Quirks or a composite of the two. However, early Quirk research discovered one important finding. It has to do with the presence of the extra joint in the pinky toe." He showed her how one foot had one less joint than the other.

"Not many know this, thats why I'm explaining. But you see, humans have no need for parts they don't use. And those without the joint represent the next stage of evolution. Izuku here has two joints. It's becoming quite rare nowadays, but he possesses no Quirk at all." He concluded, leaving Inko worried and Izuku in shock.

-Later-

Izuku idly watched his favorite video on the computer, staring at it with no emotion as his four year old brain still processed what had happened at the hospital. All of his dreams of having fire based attacks or being able to move objects with his mind have been destroyed by his foot. His pinky toe.

Inko watched him from a short distance, wondering what Izuku will do, since he gave no signs of anything at the doctors office. She finally heard him call out to her. Quietly, his voice a little shaky.

"Mom. No matter what kind of trouble you're in...he'll save you with a smile." He then turned around, his face full of tears as he pointed at the computer screen, frozen at the point where All Might stood victorious; saving so many lives so quickly. "A cool superhero like that. Can I be like him. Like All Might?"

Inko dropped over to him and held him close as she cried with him. "I'm so sorry Izuku, I'm so sorry this happened to you! I'm sorry!" She sobbed as Izuku's last remainder of hope crept from his heart and out into his falling tears.

-The Next Day-

While Izuku was at daycare, Inko called up her husband, Hizashi Midoriya, and explained to him what happened yesterday. "So the doctor diagnosed him Quirkless." Inko finished, leaving Hizashi in surprise.

"Wait, so Izuku's really Quirkless?!" He just couldn't believe it. He thought that Izuku might have a Quirk similar to Mario's fire manipulation, where it's short burst of flames from his hands or mouth.

"Yeah. He was so broken last night...He's at daycare right now. I just feel so bad..." She wanted to help more, but she knew that there was no way that she could alter his genetic make up. It was just impossible.

"Wait, so you sent our now Quirkless son over to a school full of Quirked kids?" Hizashi asked with some worry.

"Yeah, it's what I've been doing for a while - what about it?" Not knowing much about how Quirkless people were treated as a whole.

"Inko! I had at two Quirkless people in my school where I was growing up, and they were treated HORRIBLY. Hell, one of them committed suicide! And the other lives in their parents home cause she got so beat up that she had to amputate her left foot!"

Inko's face was pale and her eyes like dinner plates. 'How could someone suffer so much based on one characteristic?' She thought to herself as she mentally beat herself for even making go to preschool after the news he'd just heard.

"Alright, so I'll pick him up early, but what do we do next? We can't just leave him at our house forever. He needs to go out into the world and learn what it is that makes the world work - which we honestly can't do in our home..."

Just what could they do? They couldn't homeschool, they didn't have enough to send him to private school, and not schooling him was worse than sending him to even the most shady of schools. "I know a place." Hizashi stated, though his demeanor was completely serious.

"Huh. Where?" Inko asked, curious as to what Hizashi was talking about

"Well I helped out someone a while back, so she's in my debt. She owns a martial arts school in China." He explained, making Inko confused.

"Wait, what'd you do to make her in your debt?" Hizashi was nice in all, but was mildly brave, not that they needed any big scenes of bravery, but he wasn't exactly one to keep debts.

"Like I said, I helped her out. Like, maybe 5 years ago. She came here from China to do something, got into a mess, and I helped her out of it. Ever since then, we've kept minor contact with each other. Her name's Chun Li, she runs a martial arts school called Jīngshén Lìliàng (精神力量)."

"What does that mean?"

"Something around the lines of 'Spiritual Strength' I believe."

Inko was now getting the picture. Send Izuku off to China, let him train there for a while, then bring him back after a few years. Nothing more, nothing less. But, what if he's made fun of there, or Chun Li is cruel, or if he gets killed!

"Wait, what if he doesn't accept him because of his Quirklessness? What then!" She nearly yelled in panic at another possible problem.

"Well she's Quirkless too, so I don't see much bullying where she is. Especially since she has other students that would know of her Quirklessness."

"O-oh...Sorry, I just...I'm worried since you've just made me realize how dangerous the world is, and...how Izuku needs to be tough if he's going to live in Japan." She said apologetically

"No it's fine! We're lucky we have the weekend to do this. I know she'll be a good teacher, but you're still his mother, and only you."

Inko blushed and held her cheeks in embarrassment. "S-stop it~ You helped to you know."

"Yeah, like - 12% of the work you'v put in. Don't worry, I know he'll do great things, but he needs the opportunity to do those things."

She nodded in approval as they continued to plan out what would happen, settling on letting Chun Li being his guardian, and sending him back to Japan when he's 13, leaving plenty of time for him to get back into the swing of things, and for him to go to his dream school.

U.A. High - the school for the best of the best; like his hero, All Might
