Izuku Midoriya had wanted to be a hero more than anything else in the world, taking inspiration from every pro hero he saw. But one pro hero had more of his attention than any other: All Might, the number one hero. The man who fought without fear and announced to the world: I AM HERE! That's why, when Izuku saw Kacchan bullying a kid in the playground, Izuku knew he had to step in, even though his quirk hasn't manifested yet.
"Leave him alone, just because you have your quirk doesn't mean that you can bully the weak." Izuku screams he runs between Kacchan and the boy on the ground.
"What the fuck are you going to do to stop me, use your quirk? Oh, that's right you're quirkless. You can't stop me!" Kacchan yells as he charges at Deku with sweaty palms ready to be ignited.
Deku crossed his arms in front of his face and closes his eyes preparing for a point blank explosion. As he does this, he feels a strange sensation coursing through his arms.
"DIE FUCKER!" Kacchan screams as he detonated more of his sweat than he intended to. The place goes dead silent as They wait for the smoke to clear. As time progresses, Kacchan begins to get nervous, Deku should have started screaming by now. Kacchan runs into the smoke and smacks into something red and hard.
Izuku notices that he hasn't been blown up yet and slowly opens his eyes. Izuku is seeing red, he taps the barrier to see what it is. "it's hollow" Deku whispers as he knocks on it. "What is it?" Izuku asks before trying to move it. He searches for that feeling again, taking several minutes to do so. Once he finds this feeling, he grasps it and tugs with all his might. In a flash of red light, the barrier disappears and the smoke begins to rise above them. Once it's revealed that Deku is completely unharmed, Kacchan gets angry and charges at him ready to punch his lights out. When kacchan's fist gets close, Deku goes to block it with his arm and that red barrier appears on it as a circular shield. "I told you I'm not quirkless, but you guys just didn't listen" Deku says as the shield recedes into his skin.
"Your quirk is just a useless shield; you're not special. Filthy extra." Kacchan says before angrily stomping away.
The kid Deku was protecting runs away, but he's too busy thinking about his quirk to notice. " I have a quirk. I have a cool quirk" Deku thinks as he runs home to his mother. Inko Midoriya is the single mother of Izuku Midoriya, her quirk is a minor form of telekinesis She can only attract objects that are smaller than her. So when her son rushes through the door with a Crystal-like substance on his right arm, she becomes extremely happy. Her son can fulfil his dreams of becoming a pro-hero.
"I'll schedule a quirk assessment for tomorrow." Inko says while crying tears of joy.
(The next day)
"My son can do what?" Inko midoriya asks the doctor in shock.
"He can create any type of gem by using calories and use those gems to form objects." The doctor says once again. While pointing to the boy sitting on a small emerald horse that is walking around.
"I almost forgot to mention that he has to know what a gem looks like in order to make a perfect copy of it. This means he has to know the crystal's structure, and color. He can make crystals that have special properties too. One of his gems set burned whatever it touched, except for him.
"I'M RICH" Inko thinks as her eyes transform into dollars signs.
Deku is barely paying attention as he focuses on absorbing the emerald back into his body, but it doesn't work. Apparently, he can't absorb the creation back into his body after it has existed for more than 3 minutes.
(Just about where the original story starts)
Izuku Midoriya has been studying for most of his life, he had to, it was the only way for him to learn how to use his quirk. After the initial incident in the playground, Deku has never used his quirk in front of a classmate. He'd rather be alone forever than have friends that only like him for his flashy power, so he spent most of his time alone and ignored by his peers. Oh and speaking of power, Deku has been training his body in order to better utilize his quirk. When he was younger, he found a beach covered in huge pieces of trash. He decided to drag around junk for 5 months in order to strengthen his body, then he encased that entire section of the beach in black crystal, causing it to rapidly disintegrate. Deku silently swore to never use that Crystal on a living organism.
He also started teaching himself how to make and use weapons in combat. During this process, Deku figured out that his crystals weren't your average crystals, they didn't always behave like they were unbendable. When Deku made a whip, it behaved like a normal whip by being bendable, but it was still as hard as the Crystal it was made from.
Ring Ring
The school bell snaps Deku back to reality and he packs up his stuff. Nobody pays attention to this and he slips out of the window, falling from the 3rd floor to street level. He encased his legs in diamond to absorb the damage, leaving spider web cracks on the ground, then absorbs the diamond back into his body. He walks home on autopilot while thinking about what he's going to do for the 10 months before U.A.'s entrance exam.
Because of this, Deku doesn't notice the sludge monster slowly sneaking up on him until it has already nabbed him. "A cute little meat puppet, perfect. That man will never find me in here." It says to the struggling Deku, "This will only hurt for 45 seconds."
Deku immediately begins to panic, all of his training has never prepared him for what to do in an actual fight. Naturally this results in his quirk triggering on its own and encasing him in a ruby sphere and trapping the sludge villain. He stays there for 3 minutes before his sphere starts rolling and crashes into a wall. The sphere shatters on impact and a disoriented Deku falls to the ground. "Young civilian, are you alright? I didn't Detroit Smash you into that wall too hard, did I? If I had known that orb was a person, I would have retrieved it first."
Deku looks up with blurry vision and sees his hero staring at him with worried eyes "I'm fine All Might, just a little disoriented." He says while trying to stand up. He nearly falls, but quickly forms a blue crystal cane to stand with.
"Very well, but I'm still taking you to a hospital, just in case I gave you a concussion." All Might said before picking Deku up and leaping into the air. "I'm fine really, plus you forgot the villain in the streets!" Deku says while clinging on to All Might's shoulder. "He's sitting in that prison you made, another hero can pick him up." All Might replies while landing on the roof of a hospital. "I'm out of time" All Might thinks before his body starts smoking and deflating.
"what's happening?" Deku thinks aloud before the smoke clears and a very skinny man with angular features and very long limbs. He has spiky, disheveled blond hair with two bangs framing the sides of his face. He's also missing his eyebrows.
"Shit," All Might thinks as Deku bombards him with questions about what happened and why he looks like that. All Might coughs up a geyser of blood and Deku shrieks in fear.
"Look, this is my true form. I spend 21 hours of the day looking like this. And this is all because of this," All Might says before lifting his shirt and exposing the wound given to him by All For One " 5 years ago, a villain landed a lucky shot on me and obliterated my stomach and a lung. Now, I can only fight for a limited time. You can't tell anybody about any of this, the world needs to believe that the symbol of peace is invincuble." Deku agrees to keep quiet and they go their separate ways.
[ERROR ERROR, DEVIATION, UNIVERSE DESTABILIZED!]
A woman looks at the screen and smoking computer in shock at the caption, "Sludge villain detained after meeting Deku." "This wasn't supposed to happen, The sludge villain was beaten too early. Now, Deku doesn't have to save Bakugo and impress All Might as a result. This means that Deku won't get one for all before U.A. This means that Deku can't impress All Might until the entrance exams. I have to make sure that Deku does something heroic that All Might and the judges will see." She said before typing something into the computer.
(Back in "The Gem Hero Deku" universe)
Ten months have passed, and now it's time for the U.A. entrance exam and Deku is doing some last minute chanting In his room. "You can win, You'll do great, you. can. do. this, yeah!"

Hardening problem
Young Deku was sitting in his room alone thinking about his powers. "Maybe I'll make a gauntlet" Deku thinks as he holds his left hand out and his hand glows blue, while creating the crystal. The Crystal begins to harden around his fist to the point that he can't move it. "This is so cool" Deku thinks while waving his fist around. An hour passes and Deku gets tired of having a Crystal fist and he tries to break it off his fist, but something goes wrong. Instead of breaking apart, it squeezes tighter. He tries again , but it keeps getting tighter and tighter.
