Wow. I'm amazed by all the support from just the first chapter of this fanfiction. It gives me more motivation to keep going and making this story the best it can be. I do want to address some concerns in the few reviews I got, and I am thankful for all the followers and favorites. Expect more chapters to come out soon.
Izuku getting a quirk later down the line. I have thought about this idea, but that involves some OC's whether that be scientists, an All For One appearance, or one of the League of Villains characters. I get where this is coming from. Having a quirk will make his life easier for a possible One For All inheritance, but I'm not going to spoil plot either. I can confirm that Izuku will not be getting a quirk in this manner or him being a product of experimentation.
I never asked for suggestions, but I am glad you guys told me about them in the reviews. A harem is looking more possible, although I will need some more feedback and possible suggestions of who will be included.
Izuku vs. Katsuki. I am not saying he will be goody two-shoes, but he will also not be a psychopathic bastard who screams 'DIE EXTRA' at the top of his lungs. If I had to scale his personality and behavior, it would be in between those two standpoints.
Thank you to the following Reviewers and enjoy this chapter.

I cannot thank guest users unless you give me a name to call you by. It's anonymous anyways, but I always read guest reviews so I take all feedback seriously. If you have hate or flame, I will read them and better myself with your criticism, unless it's unconstructive. Can't do much with that.
On with the chapter.

'Thoughts'
"All Might"
Chapter 2
You Can be a Hero
Izuku Midoriya is stunned. He wanted to hear those words, but he didn't actually expect to hear it. Being quirkless signs you up to be a freak, that's what everyone says.
'Does she believe in me?' Izuku thought.
"B-But how?" Izuku sniffles and rubs his eyes.
"I know it will be hard, but I know you better than anyone. You want to be a hero and being quirkless shouldn't stop you. It won't be easy. No one has ever heard of a quirkless hero. I believe you can do it. If anyone can do it, you'll be the first." Inko sheds a tear and hugs her son for a second time.
Izuku cries harder. The words of encouragement.
Yes you can.
He hears the words echo through his mind. 'I can be a hero.' Izuku thought.
"Thank you… for believing in me. I will do my best to become the first quirkless hero!" Izuku shouts.
"Well you can start after dinner. It will be ready in about a half hour." Inko says walking out of his room.
Izuku wastes no time and brings out his thought journal from his desk and grabs a pencil to begin writing.
*Rise to Power*
I'm quirkless.
I don't understand how the world could be so cruel.
Heroes have quirks and not having one will practically disable you from becoming one. How can I be a hero without a quirk? I have to find a way. Kacchan will never forgive me if I give up and sit in sorrow like some sort of chump.
How will Kacchan react to me being quirkless? Will he hate me? Call me weak? I hope we can still be friends. He's the only friend I have.
Izuku Midoriya, the quirkless hero. I'm not saying I'll be the best, but I can be the best that I can be, so I can save everyone from danger.
Being quirkless will give me many disadvantages, if I have to fight against villains with strong quirks, I'd be in trouble.
I could start a journal full of heroes and villains quirks. Analyzing strengths, weaknesses, possible ways to strengthen their quirk's effectiveness, and how to counter their quirk or exploit them.
Yeah, I can do that.
I'm going to have to take more martial arts classes as well. I can't be a one-trick pony. Martial arts have a large variety of styles: Karate, kung fu, taekwondo, and that's to name a few popular ones.
I can do it.
I have to.
Izuku Midoriya's Journal Entry #92 | October 5th 2014
*Rise to Power*
The next day.
Nothing special. Your average day in class. A few lectures from Ms. Chisaki and Bakugo's interesting vocabulary.
Today is the day.
Bakugo will know the truth of Izuku's quirkless state.
"Oi, Izu! Quit staring at me. It's pretty creepy. You still coming inside to play?" Bakugo asks.
'Oh right.' Izuku thought as he walks into his friend's home. They try to play smash brothers every chance they get, but martial arts can take a ton of energy from them.
Both of them plop onto the couch and grab their controllers to start playing. They both tie; 50 games to 50. It usually ends up like this or one of them having a few games up on one another.
Now or never.
"Hey Kacchan?" Izuku asks timidly
"Yea? What's up." Katsuki lays back on the couch.
"Would you hate me if I was quirkless?" Izuku asks looking down.
Katsuki perks up and catches the look on his face. 'Oh shit.' he thinks.
"You're quirkless, aren't you?" Katsuki answers looking at him.
Izuku doesn't meet his gaze, "Yes." He replies.
Katsuki pauses.
"Why would I care about that? I have better things to worry about like being a great hero. You're not gonna give up and be some loser, right? I'd hate you if you did that." Katsuki responds bluntly.
Izuku is surprised by this response. He had almost no doubt that his friend would look at him differently like some worthless weirdo, but he is encouraging me to keep going.
"I can't give up. Becoming a hero is my dream, I won't give up because of being quirkless. Forging my own path is my only option, a boring job just to get by in life isn't my style." Izuku says with confidence.
Katsuki smirks. 'Seems like he has everything figured out. Becoming a hero while having no quirk is not easy, he better not get himself killed. That idiot.' He ends that thought.
2 Years Later.
"Oi, Izu! You coming in or what?" Katsuki asks.
Many things have changed in this timeframe. Both of them in 2nd grade and it has been revealed that Izuku was quirkless. Everyone laughed at him besides their teacher and Katsuki. They quickly ended their judgement after Katsuki threatened to blow off all the hair on their heads if they don't shut it.
They are both at an arcade that opened up a few blocks from their house. It's nothing too impressive, but from the outside, it looks fun.
"Yeah. Right behind you." Izuku responds.
Katsuki pays for both of them and a few dozen tokens. They both head off to play games.
Racing games are not Katsuki's strongpoint. Izuku will usually always beat him since he uses more strategy than smashing the pedal and going fast, Katsuki's strategy of course. They were not tall enough to reach the pedals so they laid their backs on the seat to press the pedals and see the screen.
Shooters. I don't need to tell you who's yelling 'Die' while getting the most points out of both of them.
"I can never beat you at this kind of game. You're just better at shooting than I am. All headshots. How do you even do that?" Izuku asks as they finish up after another win, carried by Katsuki.
"What can I say. I like shooting people." Katsuki smirks rubbing the back of his head.
"You probably shouldn't say that so care-free in public." Izuku sweatdrops.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's play some skeeball or that crane game. We could take turns trying to get that All Might plushy." Katsuki suggests.
"Sounds good. You can't beat me at skeeball." Izuku grins at his friend.
"We'll see about that. I'll blast the fuck outta these balls." Katsuki shouts.
Izuku clutches his stomach in laughter from Katsuki's phrasing. "You'll probably blow up the machine if you go too hard."
"No doubt." Katsuki laughs as he inserts the tokens to play.
About half a dozen balls thrown later.
"You got lucky my fingers slipped on that last one to get the lowest score." Katsuki grumbles.
"Sureee. Let's go with that. We still gotta get the All Might plushy. 3 turns each." Izuku inserts his tokens to play.
The claw gripped All Might's arm and raises it, but it cannot latch onto it firmly and it slips through his body. Failed attempt.
"Dang. Your turn." Izuku sighs.
"Watch how it's done, Izu." Katsuki confidently inserts his own tokens to play.
He was able to get his head, but once again it wasn't enough to fully grip onto his body, slipping out of reach.
"FUCK. I HAD IT." Katsuki yells.
Izuku cringes back from his friend's outburst. "It's alright we both have 2 turns left."
Another turn from both boys resulted in a failure. A few swear words were announced from the young blonde.
"Maybe I should go for the other one. I can see 3 of them in the game." Izuku aims for the one further away from him. The claw latches onto the plushy fully gripping it and raises it. The All Might plushy dangles as if it's going to fall, but it safely lands into the reward box at the last moment.
"Yay!" Izuku yells in excitement while Katsuki has a different reaction.
"YOU CHEATING FUCKER. THAT THING WAS DANGLING. I'M GOING TO GET THIS FUCKING ONE." Katsuki yells as he moves the claw to one of the plushies.
This attracted the attention of one of the workers.
"You kids can't be using those kind of words in here." The woman scolds the boys as if both of them are at fault.
"Fuck off. I'm getting this, so get off of my ass." Katsuki furrows both eyebrows as he also successfully gets his own plushy.
"I'm going to ask you kids to leave for your inappropriate behavior." The woman points to the door.
"Whatever. We're done anyways. This place sucks. Bye!" Katsuki flips off the woman while grabbing Izuku's hand running out of the establishment.
"Kacchan was that really necessary to be that mean?" Izuku asks.
"Of course! She was in my business when I was getting into the zone of winning! That is unacceptable." Katsuki lets go of his hand to walk back to his house.
"I guess. We would've probably gotten kicked out one way or another. We gonna try and break the tie of 243 games to 243 of smash?" Izuku asks.
"Yes! We will break the tie and I will pull out ahead again." Katsuki grins.
"We'll see about that." Izuku smirks.
25 games later and they are still tied.
"Well. We ended with a tie again." Izuku yawns as he sets down his controller.
"Yeah. Well we should be getting to sleep. It's pretty late and it's our final day of martial arts with Sensei Son." Katsuki gets up to walk into his bedroom.
He has some All Might posters, but he also has a few posters relating to explosions, burning buildings, and crossbones. Not a typical 6 year old's room. His walls are painted blood red. Don't really need to explain that.
They both hop into the same bed and stay on their respective sides. The boys are close, but not that close to be cuddling up to each other. Izuku did that once in his sleep and he had a rude awakening by getting pushed off in the morning. Katsuki yelled at him for touching him in a creepy way. That's how he explained it at least.
"Yeah, but we did learn a lot. I won't ever forget him. He gave me the courage to continue being a hero even without having a quirk." Izuku smiles as he rolls over to start sleeping.
The last day with Sensei Son. Final words at the end of the program for the two boys. Student numbers have dwindled down to just both of them. The other kids left and gave up to move onto other things they liked, but not Izuku and Katsuki.
"Boys. You both have made me incredibly proud. Having you kids as students has given me a better understanding of who you both are. I believe that you'll do great things and become heroes. Izuku, I believe in you. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Katsuki, you have an incredibly powerful quirk and I know you will become a top hero, but always remember. The quirk doesn't make the hero. It's the person who wields the quirk that becomes a great hero. This isn't goodbye. I will be rooting for both of you and I will be watching my TV to perhaps see you there one day." Sensei Son ends with hugging both of his students.
"Yes Sensei. We will make you proud." Izuku cries.
"I will be the best and I will use what you taught us to help me in that goal." Katsuki says. He quickly wipes away a tear before anyone can see. He's very prideful and doesn't want anyone to see him vulnerable.
"I'll see you both again one day, until then." Sensei Son whispers.
4 Years Later.
"Izuku! It's time to get up. Your first day of middle school is today and you can't be late!" Inko Midoriya yells from the living room.
Izuku groggily replies with a shout.
'First day of middle school, huh? This'll be interesting.' Izuku thought.
He rises out of bed and kicking off his blanket. Izuku is not wimpy, but he isn't too muscular either. You could describe him to have a runner's type build, since he still believes he too young to start bulking up. He has a toned body based off bodyweight exercises: Pushups, situps, running laps at recess. Now he is entering middle school with katsuki.
Looking at his desk he begins to stand up to take out his thought journal. He has about 7 of these books. Journaling everyday since he was 4 years old. Some had good discussion about training and ideas, although some others are just funny things Katsuki said or how his day went.
He also looks into the desk to find his newest notebook on quirks. His 7th edition is almost filled up and he'll have to buy a few more to stock up.
Middle school. Another stepping stone in my life.
I hope to join U.A. high school by passing the entrance exam, but I need to prepare for it. My body has developed at a great rate, but I still need to add on some muscle. I'm not gonna go crazy and look like All Might, instead I should at least have lean muscle by the time I take the exam. Kacchan is going to give it his all and so should I.
All Might. Everyone's greatest hero. I can't help to wonder why he is doing hero duties fewer hours than normal. It might just me being crazy, but he has been slowing down. It's probably just my imagination. He probably has other obligations like media conferences and interviews.
3 more years to test myself. I cannot let myself get complacent.
I have to push myself harder.
Become a hero.
Izuku Midoriya's Journal Entry #1915 | July 3 2020
Closing my journal, I hop out of my chair and grab my All Might backpack. A larger backpack than what I used to have.
After breakfast and small talk with his mother, they set out to his new school.
Aldera Junior High.
Katsuki told Izuku that it was a pretty shitty school, but it's close and offers a few martial arts classes. It's the only reason they are going. After they departed from Sensei Son, they promised each other to keep taking classes in martial arts.
The car ride was about 10 minutes and they arrive to the school. It's all white exterior and 4 floors. Not bad. The reputation could be better.
"I can find my classes on my own this time. I'll see you after school." Izuku waves.
"Okay. If you find a martial arts class you like, I'll sign it for you. Bye!" Inko Midoriya drives off. She accepted that her son will continue the path to become a hero and she helps in any way she can. New journals and notebooks for quirk analyzing, paying for after school and summer programs, overall supporting him in his dream.
"Oi, Izu. Finally, you got here. I already got your schedule. Luckily we have the same homeroom class. C-3." Katsuki hands him his class schedule for the term.
"That'll be easier. Do you know about the programs here?" Izuku asks as they walk towards their class.
"Not much. I know they have martial arts classes, but they said our homeroom teacher will explain more when we get there." Katsuki responds glaring at the students to get out of his way.
They both arrive to the classroom and there's about 25 students inside. Katsuki guided Izuku to the back left corner of the room to avoid attention from others.
"Hello Class. I'm Mr. Katski and I will be your homeroom teacher." Katski announces as everyone quiets down.
"Just like from your elementary school, you will be picking an extracurricular today and turn it in tomorrow. You will be able to choose two options this time. I will come around and pass around the bubble sheets and information about the activities." Katski informed while passing around the sheets.
"Deja vu, Kacchan. We get to pick two. Think we can pick two martial arts classes?" Izuku asks.
"Maybe, but I doubt that they'd allow that." Katsuki replies.
They receive their sheets of information and look through the list.
"Yo Kacchan. There's weight training on here. You want to sign up for this and Jujutsu?" Izuku asks.
"Yeah. We need to start bulking up. I'm tired of this lean body. I'm practically a walking stick." Katsuki jokes.
2 Years Later.
Final year of middle school. Time flies by when you're working your ass off.
Weight training was a rude awakening of how weak I really was. I could barely bench press 80 pounds(36kg). All those martial arts classes were body weight strength, so I needed to try equally hard in this class.
2 years of weight training has made an insane jump in strength. At 13 years old, 5'9ft tall(175cm), I weigh about 145 pounds(66kg). I grew a lot. No doubt to all this training and diet for getting stronger. Kacchan also weighs around the same except he is an inch or two taller than me.
I pushed my bench press maximum to two plates, 205 pounds(93kg). Kacchan was spotting me and he was impressed since he wasn't expecting me to break the 200s as soon as he did. 215 pounds(97kg) was his maximum and he likes to rub it in my face.
Deadlifting is where I excelled and pushed my max to 315 pounds(142kg). It was an incredible feat and my weight training instructor was impressed. Kacchan was able to max out around 290 pounds(131kg). He wasn't happy to say the least.
I could go deeper about my weight training PRs(personal records), but to be short, it was an incredible 2 years of training. Stamina is through the roof to all my weekend and morning runs before school.
The U.A. entrance exam is in 10 months and I cannot stop now.
Izuku Midoriya's Journal Entry #2645 | July 3 2022
Izuku grabs his backpack and heads off for the day. He likes to run to school every morning for the exercise.
A boring new year of middle school. New classes and he got placed into more advanced classes. Kacchan wasn't in his homeroom last year, but he is this time. The whole day goes by and Kacchan walks up to Izuku at the end of class.
In another universe he would have scolded him for attempted to go to U.A. and burn his 13th edition quirk book. Telling him to jump off the roof to hope for a useful quirk in the next life, crazy to think that they'd be best friends and rivals to this day. Canon Bakugo would be livid if he ever heard of a version of himself befriending Izuku, or Deku is what he'd say.
"I'm going to pick up some juice from the store, since I know you won't eat or drink fun things. You can lighten up a bit, you know." Katsuki jokes while walking off.
"I'll lighten up when I get into U.A. or maybe not. See ya." Izuku walks off to his apartment building.
He took some notes of the new hero, Mt. Lady. Izuku had to admit, she was hot. Her gigantification quirk definitely showed her assets with the skintight suit. He would never admit this to anybody except Katsuki, but he was somewhat of a closet pervert. There's nothing wrong with admiring a woman's appearance and assets, but he'd never act on those thoughts. No matter how tempting, he's still a cheeky 13 year old. People may think of him as a sweet and innocent child, but when it comes to women, he becomes a whole other person in his thoughts. Thinking about the 18+ hero, Midnight, often plagues his sexual fantasies. Now he has someone new to think about.
Enough of those horny/pervy thoughts. Let's get back to what's important here.
After "analyzing" Mt. Lady, he heads off home and approaches an archway with a bridge above him. He is just about to make his way to the end of the small tunnel until he hears something coming out of the manhole leading to the sewer.
A giant green sludge monster came out with large terrifying eyes.
'A villain? Where are the heroes when you need them?' Izuku internally sighs.
"Oh? What do we have here? You seem to be an alright vessel. Just hold still, it will be over in a few seconds." The sludge monster launches some of his liquid towards him.
Izuku dodges and rolls to the right, quickly getting back to his feet to face the villain. All he can do is stall for someone to show up.
"Don't try to resist, boy. It'll go smoother if you accept that you will die." The Sludge villain sends his liquid tendrils towards the boy in order to subdue him.
He quickly ducks under one and side steps out of the second one's way.
'The training is paying off.' Izuku thought.
Little did he know that All Might was observing from the manhole that the villain came out of.
'Wow, that boy can move. He has solid movement and evading techniques. No time to ponder. Time for action.' All Might ends his thought rushing towards the villain.
Before Izuku can dodge another attack, he hears a gruff voice yelling two words he knows very well.
"TEXAS SMASH!" All Might yells punching the sludge villain before he can run away again, completely liquifying into small pieces. He quickly takes out two bottles and picked up the villains pieces.
Izuku is stunned. He never expected to meet his idol one on one. Speechless is the right word for this situation.
"Thanks for the help, kid. You kept him busy so I can easily defeat him. I appreciate the help." All Might grins giving him a thumbs up.
Izuku quickly composes himself. "Can I get your autograph!" He pulls out his quirk notebook to an empty page with a sharpie.
"Of course, young man!" All Might grabs the sharpie and gives his autograph that takes up two pages.
"Well. If that's all, I must get going to turn in this villain to the proper authorities." All Might says about to launch into the sky.
"Wait! There's something I want to as—" Izuku gets interrupted.
"I'm sorry. I have no time. Crime waits for no hero. You can send your questions in a letter. I answer all of them." All Might says launching into the air.
Izuku clutches onto All Might without thinking. He must have this question asked in person to his idol.
"What are you doing? This takes being a fan to a whole new level. Let go." All Might shouts.
"I can't. If I do, I will splat on the ground and die." Izuku shouts back.
"Oh right! Don't let go." All Might lands on a roof.
"I have to know!" Izuku says as All Might walks away.
"I have to go. I don't have—" All Might gets interrupted by his question.
"Can someone who is quirkless be a hero like you?" Izuku rushes.
All Might stops. That question hits right at home. I mean he was quirkless too, but now he has one. He can't possibly tell him that he can be one. He'll more than likely be killed. He wouldn't be able to shake off the guilt if All Might give him false hope.
Before he can mutter a response his body starts smoking up and blood trickles out of the corners of his mouth. 'Shit.' He grunts.
Izuku took his silence as a cue to explain.
"I have a dream to become a hero just like you and save people with a smile giving people—" Izuku looks up to see a scrawny man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"ACK. Where did All Might go? I couldn't have missed him leaving." Izuku freaks out.
"Don't worry yourself, kid. I am All Might." All Might says or rather known as Toshinori Yagi in this form.
"Wait! But how? That doesn't make any sense." Izuku asks.
"Listen. You can't go around posting this on the internet or consulting the media. Do you promise not to?" Toshinori asks.
"Of course. I won't tell anyone. I promise." Izuku says confidently.
Toshinori nods and lifts the left side of his shirt and Izuku gasps.
"Yeah. This wound happened 5 years ago and it completely ruined my respiratory system and my whole stomach was taken out. The surgery to repair me had a huge strain on my body and I can only do hero work for about 3 hours." Toshinori sighs.
"Was that against the chainsaw villain that happened around that time? Izuku says sadly. To see his idol in this state is heartbreaking. He's incredibly vulnerable in this form. No wonder he wants to keep this a secret.
"You really know your stuff, but no. He wasn't strong enough to damage me like this. The fight I was in was never televised or covered by the media. I made sure of that. The Symbol of Peace cannot be seen as vulnerable. That's why I kept this a secret so everyone won't be afraid. My smile is to make sure that everybody feels that everything is going to be okay."
Toshinori sighs.
"You asked if you can be a hero without a quirk. I cannot possibly say that you can without me fearing for your life. Heroes put their lives on the line everyday and a hero without a quirk would be incredibly more likely to die much sooner. It's okay to dream, but you have to set realistic goals. There are plenty of jobs that can do to help others like being a police officer, a detective, a doctor, or a scientist. They all help their community to be a better place. I'm sorry I couldn't give you good news or advice. Goodbye, young man." With that, Toshinori makes his way downstairs.
Izuku is crushed. His idol says that he cannot become a hero. Was he delusional this whole time? It makes sense. The number one hero says that he can't realistically become a hero. I should have realized it by now. I can't
I can't be a hero.
"Alright time to put you—" Toshinori pauses feeling his pockets and realizes they are empty. He then hears an explosion in the city. "Oh no." Toshinori looking grimly at the sight.
Minutes Before
Katsuki exited the shop with some snacks, juice, and sugary drinks for himself. He decides to take an alleyway as a shortcut back to his house. If anybody would have gave him trouble, he would've blown them to hell.
'I hope some idiot comes up on me. I feel like punching someone.' Little did he know that the Sludge villain was reforming his liquid body from the bottles dropping and the caps coming loose.
"This body will do." Katsuki hears behind him.
"Huh?" Katsuki asks and right when turns around. The villain grabs him.
Izuku was walking home when he heard sirens and heroes rushing down the street.
'What's going on? Another villain attack?' Izuku questions as he walks towards the noise.
What he saw was horrifying.
Flames everywhere. Buildings burning to a crisp while pro hero, Backdraft, is dealing with the fire. Death Arms and Kamui Woods are just standing there.
'Why are they just standing there? Who are they fighting?' Izuku thought as he tried to look for the villain.
The Sludge villain.
'How? I thought All Might had him. Wait.' Izuku thinks back and he noticed the bottles weren't there strapped to his legs.
'Oh no. It's my fault.' Izuku slumps. Little did he know Toshinori was also sulking.
'Pathetic. How could I mess up so much? I have no more time left.' Toshinori mentally curses himself.
"Why are the heroes just standing there? That boy is in trouble! Where are the heroes that can help him?" Multiple civilians ask.
'A boy is in trouble? He captured someone?' Izuku tried to get a better view of the sludge monster. What he saw froze him to the core.
Kacchan.
He didn't think. He didn't give one thought as he rushes through the crowd and got over the barricade.
"Kid! What are you doing!" An officer yells.
Toshinori is shocked. This boy is running towards the sludge villain. Is he crazy?
'He told me he had no quirk and yet he's running to save that boy? What does that make me? I won't sit here and watch them get hurt when I can do something.' Toshinori thought as he begins to emit white smoke and grow in size.
Izuku stumbles as he begins to control his movement to get closer to the villain.
"You again? You want some more?!" The villain yells.
'What can I do? Oh wait!' Izuku thought back to his notes and martial arts teachings.
Distract.
He threw his bag towards the villain at his giant eyes. Momentarily stunning the villain allowing Katsuki to get a breath and pull away slightly.
"What do you think you're doing, Izu!" Katsuki yells getting an arm out.
"I saw that you needed help so I distracted him so you can get free. So blast him!" Izuku smiles.
Katsuki smirks wildly. "Don't have to tell me twice," He aims his palm towards the villain, "DIE" Blasting the villain in the face and completely freeing Bakugo.
The next thing they know All Might rushes in.
"DETROIT SMASH" All Might yells blasting away the villain once again, changing the weather in the process, rain falls down upon them.
The rest of the situation was cleaned up and the villain was hauled to prison, carried in bottles rather. Izuku was scolded for his reckless behavior while Bakugo was praised for his quirk before yelling at the heroes picking on Izuku. Saying that they had teamwork, a good combo attack. When he said that, they left him alone and they walked back home.
"Well, Izu. I'm gonna go home. Getting abducted by some weirdo liquid villain is tiring, see ya." Katsuki walks away.
"Bye, Kacchan." Izuku continues walking when All Might came around the corner.
"I AM HERE" All Might shouts.
"ACK. All Might?! What are you doing here?" Izuku asks.
"Well I just wanted to t—" All Might vomits blood and reverts back to his scrawny form.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay." Izuku frantically asks.
"I'm fine, young man. I came by to tell you that I was wrong." Toshinori says staring at the boy in front of him.
"W-What do you mean?" Izuku nervously asks.
"What I said on the roof. I said that you cannot become a hero, but what I saw today at the crime scene told a different story. All pro heroes have an upbringing with a similar condition. Their legs moved on their own accord and helped save a life in anyway they can. I assume that happened to you as well?" Toshinori asks.
At this moment, Izuku thought of his mother's words. The encouragement he needed to hear.
Yes you can.
You want to be a hero and being quirkless shouldn't stop you.
I believe you can do it.
"Y-Yes. I saw that Kacchan needed help and I didn't even think. I just moved. Instinct took over and I ran to help him." Izuku explains.
Toshinori smiles widely. "Who are you, young man?" He asks.
"I-Izuku M-Midoriya" He nervously answered.
"Izuku Midoriya." Toshinori pauses.
Can I be a hero too mom?
Yes you can. I believe in you.
"You can become a hero." Toshinori responds confidently as he sees the boy collapse on hands and knees crying and clawing the ground below him.
Dreams can become a reality.
This is the story of where I became the number one hero.
This was very emotional for me to write. I rewatched the subbed anime, second episode, just as powerful as I watched it for the first time. Incredible scene and I am happy of how this chapter turned out.
I also hope you guys review and give me suggestions about pairings and/or if you guys want a harem. Izuku is much stronger in this universe and he is also more muscular and taller. This will play a huge role in the upcoming chapters.
I need to address this before I get some reviews about it.
Yes. Izuku is one year younger than his canon counterpart, since he starts school a year early. There is not a huge meaning behind this. It was just my preference that I found convenient and it may play a role later on in some cheeky moments.
I hope you guys enjoyed.
Until next time.
