GENERAL INFORMATION:

-THIS MEANS FLASH BACK

-THIS MEANS PRESENT TIME

Believe it or not there was only two reasons why I'd decided to go through with the bet to begin with. One: I never back down from a bet. Two: Midoriya Izuku. Yes, a person. I've only met him once during the exam. Now why would I go through a bet simply on these terms?

Because he was only suppose to be a quirkless kid who attempted to hold his own against a sludge monster.

When All Might had shown up on the news fighting against the villain, a young boy was seen running into the fire. Most of the kids in my class were obsessing over All Might and the other boy trying to defend himself against his captor. No one was really talking about the first kid that ran into the danger. Except to talk down about him.

As for me, I thought it was interesting that someone without powers decided to try and help. I had a quirk and you wouldn't catch me with in one hundred feet of the action. It wasn't my idea of fun.

I held a hand under my chin as I observed the boy that walked into the classroom and two other students began to talk to him. I'd forgotten their names, Iida and Ura-something. One had glasses and the other girl looked nice enough. Midoriya did have a quirk, in fact if I didn't know any better it was kind of similar to All Might himself. What were the odds?

He'd peaked my interest and still does, but I'm regretting that he did.

I blinked at the phone being force-ably shoved in my face. I squinted my eyes being that I was farsighted. "You see even somebody without a quirk has more guts than you." A girl said. Despite how rude she was, she was my friend.

"I'm fine with that." I said with a shrug as I laid my head onto the desk.

"Oh come on, no reaction at all?"

"Nami, you know Kaze doesn't care about being a hero" A boy said, his name was Haruka. I only had two friends; I wasn't a social creature.

"Well I think she should. Kaze you could really help people with a power like yours." Nami lectured.

"No I can't, my power literally helps me run away from my problems. Which is how I'd like to keep it." I searched through my bag without looking to pull out a juice.

Haruka laughed. "Yeah, didn't you see what happened the other day? That girl from the first year class fell on her face and Kaze just awkwardly walked around her."

"I didn't know what to do." Is all I said.

"How about help her up?" The boy continued with a grin. I decided not to say anything else and began to drink my juice.

Nami sighed. "Look all I'm trying to say is that if even a kid without a quirk can try to save the day then someone with a quirk like yours could definitely do it."

I raised my left eyebrow. "If you're so serious about it then why don't you do it?"

"I want to be a social worker." She stated. Fair enough.

"Come on guys lets get real here. The day that Kaze decides to become a hero is the day that I shave my head." Nami and I stared over at the boy's long blue locks that went down his back to match is pretty face.

"You serious?" I smirked as I chewed on my straw.

"I swear to All Might himself." The boy held a hand over his chest in a mocking manner.

Nami rolled her eyes. "Get real Haruka you haven't trimmed your hair since we were in elementary school. There no way you'd cut it."

"If it gets Kaze to show some initiative I definitely would."

The girl laughed. "Well the day you cut yours I'll do the same."

I looked at my friends in amusement. "If I enrolled into U.A. and actually made it into the hero class you two have to do it." Of course I knew this was never going to happen, but it was funny to joke about.

"Do it!" Nami suddenly exclaimed in excitement. "And if you lose you have to shave your head too."

"Ha the jokes on you, I don't care about my hair." I stated.

She paused. "Then your eyebrows."

"You wouldn't."

"Yeah!" Haruka cheered with a clap of his hands. "Do it Kaze, it will be hilarious."

"So hypothetically speaking, if I actually got into U.A. high you would shave your heads?"

"Yes!" The two of them said. Of course we all knew that I would never get in or even try for that matter.

I thought about it for a moment. "But...isn't there like fighting involved, I'm not really for that. I don't like being hit."

Nami leaned forward in her seat. "Come on Kaze~ Are you just going to chicken out?"

"Yeah, I don't see the harm in trying." Haruka added. "You haven't decided which high school you're going to go to yet. So this would be a good test..." He began to laugh before he even finished his sentence. "It will all be in good fun."

"Totally! We can laugh about it when its all over. Think about it!" Nami added.

Well, it would be something to talk about. Last year I was voted as the most unmotivated student in my class. Which was true so I wouldn't disagree with it. So this would be a shocking turn of events. Plus, that boy on the news ran through my thoughts as I considered my options. I didn't know his name, but he had no quirk and he was more motivated than most of the heroes watching the chaos that had unfolded.

"Well, why not." I finally replied.

Haruka and Nami high fived one another and cheered. I rolled my eyes. It really wasn't that big of a deal. It wasn't like I was going to get in.

I was wrong, so very wrong.

My eyes caught sight of a yellow blob on the floor out in the hallway. A mess of black hair hung out as I lifted my left eyebrow. "What's that thing laying out there?"

My question caught everyone's attention as they turned to look. "Welcome to U.A's hero course." Turns out it was a man in a sleeping bag.

...

I could get behind something like that.

The man stood up and unzipped his sleeping bag. "It took you guys eight seconds to shut up, that's not going to work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." The students stared at him silently judging his strange entrance.

"Hello, I'm Shouta Aizawa, your teacher. Well, let's get started." He pulled a uniform out of his sleeping bag. "Put these on and head outside."

I slowly began to frown, this is not what I'd signed up for. I already just want to go home. The other students took the uniforms with curious gazes in their eyes while I only looked bothered.

I suppose I shouldn't think of it any differently than gym class, right?

Picking up my uniform, I walked out of the room to go and change before suddenly bumping into another student. I glanced up with a solemn expression to see Midoriya himself.

"O-oh sorry, hahaha." He laughed nervously before blinking. "Oh wait, I remember you. You're uh..."

"Hikari Mujuryoku, but just call me Kaze. Everyone does." I stated with somewhat of a smile. Being here sucked, but I wasn't gonna be a jerk.

"Oh sorry, you told me and I forgot." He rubbed the back of his neck with embarrassment.

"It's fine, I don't remember anyone else's names either. Except yours. Midoriya Izuku." He looked at me in surprise. "Well I'm gonna get dressed." I left before he could reply.

I doodled on the back of my examination card as Hizashi sensei announced the rules. To be honest, I didn't bother to pay attention because I wasn't taking it seriously. Apparently I was going to be sent to Center B and that's where I'd head into the battle grounds. The written portion of the exam was actually really hard and I doubted that I did that well on it.

I zoned back in when a boy stood up from his seat and began questioning the exam. But then he pointed out someone familiar in the back. I recognized him to be the kid from off the news. What was his name? I couldn't remember, but it was a funny coincidence to see him here. Wasn't he quirkless? What was he doing? This was beginning to be more and more interesting.

Before long we were ushered out of the room and sent to change into something comfortable. I threw on my hoodie and leggings before strapping 25 pound weights to each leg. It was harder to walk, but if things actually got serious I wanted to be able to defend myself.

As we all walked to the battle front door I saw the green haired boy at the back of the crowd. He looked nervous, no scratch that, terrified. I decided to call out to him. "Hey! Green boy!" Said boy turned around along with a few others before they realized I wasn't talking to them.

He shuffled over to me in the crowd with a nervous expression. "Hello?" He said with a confused tone. It was understandable because we'd never spoken before.

"Hi." I said, looking him over. Why was he out here?

"Did you need something?" He asked meekly.

"No, not really." I paused. "I saw you on the news a while ago. You were that quirkless kid that ran into the fire right?"

"You recognize me?" He seemed surprised that anyone bothered to bring it up.

I shrug. "Yeah, I'm curious. The news lady said you were quirkless, so why are you applying for the hero program?"

"Well, that's I actually-um..." He seemed like he was deciding whether or not he wanted to say something. It seemed to make him nervous. Change of subject then.

"What's your name?"

"My name? It's Midoriya Izuku, what's yours?" The green haired boy returned the question.

"Mujuryoku Hikari, but don't call me that, just Kaze." I stated.

"Okay..." He seemed to notice my ankle weights. "Your weights? Is this some form of training?"

Training? Ha, that's funny. He think's I care.

"No, it's just so that if I have to use my quirk I won't blow myself into the stratosphere." I explained casually.

Midoriya stared at me with curious wonder. "Wow what do you do?"

"It's not really helpful. I was told that my lungs are larger than the average human being. Well, as average as you can get I guess." I paused. "If I fill my lungs with enough air I can lift my body off the ground and fly. I can also inhale and breath out large guts of wind, but when I do I end up blowing away myself in the process."

I decided to be honest with him because there was no real point in hiding what I could do.

"I see so you use the weights to keep grounded. That's smart, your power sounds really cool Kaze." Midoriya said with a smile. "You can even fly."

"Yeah." I shrug. "Not that long though." Longer than most, but it shrinks my lungs for a short period of time. I looked at him for a moment longer. I wondered if he really had a quirk, but decided against it. "Alright, good talk." I turned around and began to walk away.

The boy looked at my back in confusion. "Um, you too?"

Without even realizing it, it was time to start. Everyone ran inside and I...decided not to do that. I had twenty five pound waits on both legs so it was already hard enough as it is to just walk. Running was out of the question.

"Um, you there why are you walking?" I looked up to see Hizashi sensei giving me a strange look.

"I don't feel like running."

"Okay, well you're not going to get any points with that attitude~!" He yell form the top of the building.

"That's the point." I stated bluntly

He stared at me with an unreadable expression before I turned around to continue walking. I eventually rounded the corner to see the students facing several robots and many were already down. I had to say these kids were impressive.

I sat myself down on the ground out of sight and watched the other students fight the robots. Suddenly I was caught off guard when several of the machines surrounded me. Backing up for a moment I waited to see if anyone would take the mechanical villains down. However everyone was already focused.

Are we serious right now?

I had no idea how my ability would even affect the machines. I sighed. Fine. I doubted I'd get that many points anyway. Taking a deep breath, I lowered my stance to the ground attempting to dodge the hits before instinctively releasing my air.

"BAAAAAAAAAAH!" I let out my breath causing the robots to fly back against a building and exploded. I fell back against another. I'd only gone about eighteen feet in the this time. My back hurt, but other than that I was okay. Now hopefully I wouldn't have to do that again-

Once again several robots were aiming themselves at me. Is this happening on purpose? Did Hizashi sensei get mad and program them to come after me because I didn't care for the fight? Slowly jogging away, I began to feel annoyed and took off my ankle weights. The machines pursuit was irritating. I don't want to fight. Just leave me alone. I took a deep breath as I began to float in the air and landed away from the the robots.

Though I hadn't realized that I'd planted myself between an army. I'm sick of it. "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I practically screamed knocking me about fifty feet away and killing a few more robots though I think I hit some of the students as well. Oops.

This went on for a little while longer before I was too tired to keep going. I just need to get out of range. I held my breath floated to the top of a smaller building and sat on the ledge. I had no idea how many points I'd gotten and it didn't matter. My lungs were tired now.

Then without warning the building began to shake and I gigantic robot pushed its way through the battle field. Did Hizashi sensei say something about this thing? I wasn't listening so I wouldn't know. Everyone began running in the opposite direction and I was lucky I was far enough away from the monster machine.

Things looked like they were getting way more serious than I thought they'd be. Boy would Haruka and Nami get a kick out of this.

For a moment I thought my eyes were deceiving me. It was Midoriya in the air, as high as the robot. He pulled back his hand and hit it, destroying the bohemoth in one punch.

One punch boy.

Then he was falling. Did he have a landing strategy or what? Apparently not because he was getting dangerously close to the ground. Then the anti-gravity girl saved him. I found myself sighing in relief. This would not have been a fun story to tell my friends if someone had died in it.

Once all the commotion seemed to die down and the battle was over I floated over and slowly dropped to the ground on the outside of the crowd. There was a small old woman standing next to Midoriya's body and she seemed to be healing his injuries.

"Wow, look at the damage." I muttered. "He gonna be okay?"

"Yes, he should be fine now." She asked.

The boy with the glasses looked at me with a serious expression. "Where did you come from?"

"I was up there." I pointed to the building on the fair side of the battle field. Everyone looked over and stared at me. "What?"

One week later I laid on my bed listening to music, before my door was slammed open. "KAZE YOU AREN'T GONNA BELIEVE IT!" I stared at my brother with a frown.

"What, that we're related? Yeah I don't believe it either." I stated bluntly.

"No you emo! Look! Look!" He pointed to the opened letter in his hand. "It's your U.A. application!"

"You opened it?" I questioned with an annoyed expression.

"Yeah, but that's no the point, look!" He said pointing at the holigram of All Might in a suit.

"Hello, Hikari Mujuryoku it is my pleasure to welcome and congratulate you on your acceptance into U.A. high's hero program. You should be proud of yourself and we will all be happy to see you there...you-"

My brother cut off the rest with an excited look on his face."All Might is a frickin' teacher at U.A. you're so lucky Kaze!"

"No."

He stopped his cheers and stared at me. "What?"

"This has to be some kind of mistake." I shook my head. "It's wrong."

"Come on sis, it's all right here see." The ten year old shoved it further towards my face.

He was right. It was in my face, All Might smiling wide with his sense of justice and integrity. But it was still wrong. I don't save people, and I definitely wasn't a hero.

We all gathered outside in a bare field as I processed what Aizawa sensei was saying. "A quirk assesment test?!" The class said. I looked the man over curiously

"But orientation, we're going to miss it." A girl that I now knew as Uraraka, the anti-gravity girl.

"If you want to make it to the big leagues you can't waste your time on pointless ceremonies." The man said. "Hero at U.A. we are not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class how ever I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests all your lives, but you've never been able to use your quirks during physical exams before. The country is still trying to make everyone feel as though all quirks were created equal. Soon the education administration will learn."

I watched the man turn to a rather angry looking boy that was extremely loud this morning in home room. "Bakugou you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam. What was your farthest throw with a soft ball when you were in junior high?"

"Sixty seven meters, I think."

"Try throwing it with your quirk. Anything goes just stay in the circle." The man said as the young angry child walked to the center of the circle. He leaned back and threw the flaming soft ball into the distance. It landed 705.2 meters away.

I whistled with my arms crossed. So anything goes, huh? Honestly I skipped out on a lot of P.E. classes so I have no idea what I was really good at. Then I realized that I had zone out of the conversation when I saw that Aizawa sensei was speaking. Apparently the other students were excited about showing off their quirks to each other and believed it to be fun.

"Idiots." Well then. "Today you will compete in eight physical test to set your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately."

Everyone gasped in shock at sensei's declaration, but a wide smile slowly formed onto my face and I couldn't contain it.

"Yes."
