AUTHOR NOTES:

Hey guys, remember me? Yeah, so I forgot to mention something last time. This is not a –Gamer- story! I repeat, it is NOT a Gamer fanfic. I think that the ability of the gamer would be hard to implement in BnHA. Not impossible, I have some scrap ideas on how to do it (Feel free to use them, they will be in the End of the chapter notes), but for this story I don't think It will be immersive; glad we got that out of the way. So, welcome back. No pairings for now, we still need to develop Izuku and his classmates before I try my hand at teenager romance. Enjoy!

As his first day on U.A finished, Izuku walked home quietly listening to music in his earphone. The train ride was fast and he slowly enjoyed walking the rest of the way, smile settled on his lips as he hummed to the tone of the soft music that was playing.

Still can't believe I'm really in U.A! Man, how surreal!

The teen stood at the front door of his family's apartment, hands going in automatic motion to grab his keys. Few seconds and the greenete was inside and walking to his room. A few minutes for a quick shower and a snack had the teen then reading a book about self-defense arts in his left hand as he exercised his right arm with a dumbbell.

Gotta increase the weights again, the old ones are getting too light.

[Daily muscle tear repaired. Sleep is required to help increase the speed of muscle mass. Extra nutrients also required to allow better function of mainframe.]

[Nutrients (Calcium phosphate and iron) are needed to strengthen bones and as extra storage for reinforcements. Other nutrients are recommended in aiding more efficient energy distribution.]

As if on autopilot Izuku walked to the kitchen. In the room, the teen opened the fridge and grabbed one carton of milk, gulping it down directly from the source. His mother would for sure admonish him were she to find him doing such a thing, yet his thirst made the boy ignore the possible punishment his mother would have for him.

Finishing the last of the carton in one gulp, Izuku threw the empty carton in the trash and went once more to his room. The teen opened his computer and put on searched videos about self-defense courses. The greenete compared the instructions in his book to the ones being shown in the videos, noting them down and putting his own notes for moves and such. Izuku then practiced a few of the moves, in particular the grappling and immobilizing ones, as best as he could on a pillow, trying to gauge how much strength was appropriated to faint out an opponent but not kill them. Needless to say, it was quite the chore to try to find the right amount of force.

After a few hours of self-study and practice, Izuku was ready to hit the hay. The teen directed himself to the bathroom to wash off the sweat he had built while training, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the bathtub. He rapidly scrubbed himself clean and soon entered the porcelain tub, releasing a groan of happiness.

"Ahhh…." The half-submerged teen raised his right hand to eye level and stared at it in hopes of finding an answer to the absurd power he had displayed twice so far, none of them really answering the questions he had. Never had he displayed that amount of brute force, something resembling All Might, and the idea he had a quirk was still new. Once more the teen found himself lost in his thoughts.

Now that the desperation of passing the U.A exams was gone, Izuku was realizing he shouldn't be able to tackle such intense training so suddenly. Only someone with a Regeneration or Healing quirk could handle the type of stress he had put himself through, following not only All Might's plan but also adding other exercises of him own to increase his strength and agility. It scared Izuku to think his current power was not a result of his hard work, but of a quirk.

Even scarier was the thought that maybe he had lied to his favorite hero; should the symbol of peace find out about him, what would the pro think? The question sparked a primal fear on his gut that had his stomach churning. Izuku let his hand fall back into the water of his tub, the steam somewhat calming his overworking mind.

The teen felt something tingle in his spine, the feeling going from his skull to the end of his lower back as if live lightning had nestled inside of his spine. Izuku let out a sigh before exiting the tub and finishing his bath. No sooner had he hit his bed, the teen blacked out.

The following day was much the same as his first one. If the teen said he wasn't slightly disappointed by the normalcy of his morning classes, he would be lying. It felt somewhat weird to be prepared for another physical test or some crazy shenanigan by Aizawa-sensei, but instead he was currently having Modern Literature with Present Mic, the hero in full costume as he continued reading from a yellow book.

"So normal!" "So normal!" "So normal!" "How fucking boring!"

Izuku paid attention to all classes, even if somewhat distracted by Bakugou's incessant teeth grinding, and when lunch came he followed the student body to the enormous cafeteria. He almost let out a dumb noise at the sheer size the place had. He picked a random place and sat by himself, eating quite the varied amount of food. The green teen played by himself the "guess what their quirk is" game as his eyes followed the numerous students milling around, but as his eyes glanced once more at the cafeteria, Izuku frowned a bit. Do we really need a Cook Hero? I mean, Lunch-Rush isn't a bad guy, but come on! But wait…If children starve and he comes with food, isn't he a hero? Shouldn't then he be in Africa or something? How does the dynamic work, he just cooks and….

[Nutrient intake registered. Distribution has begun to maintain mainframe's full conditions. High brain processing capacity is currently being used.]

The teen finished his food at a quick pace, his eyes darting around the notebook he had brought with him, notes being scribbled down and erased at an impressive rate. So focused was he in doing his own business that he didn't realize he was mumbling while writing, some students edging away from him with slight unnerved looks.

Lunch ended and Izuku left for class, not realizing the odd looks some students were giving him as he continued walking and discussing his ideas by himself. Any onlooker would think the boy was talking to himself.

As he settled back in class, he managed to cease his mumblings. I'm shelving that idea for now. The afternoon classes were about to begin and that meant their first Heroics Foundation Studies.

As he waited anxiously in his place, he picked on the rushing noise of the wind and booming footsteps coming towards their class. Other students picked on that too, a girl with a bob haircut and phone-plug like structures on her earlobe, one shy boy with a dinosaur-like face and the tallest boy in class that had six limbs and wore a Shinobi mask that hid the lower half of his face.

Izuku smiled as he then heard the famous words. "I'M HERE…!" All Might's voice boomed outside of the classroom door, which was opened rather softly and allowed for the hero to enter the class, wearing both his ever radiant smile and Silver Age costume. "…COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" The man laughed, the HaHaHa almost becoming visible, so flamboyant was his entry.

The class instantly became a cacophony of noise, students clearly excited to have classes with the number 1 pro-hero. The blonde hero strolled down the class in his usual gait until he stood in front of all the students and the man flexed his muscles, assuming a pose that hid his face as he spoke loudly.

"Young heroes in the making, this is the Hero Foundational Studies! Here we will be building the basic skills any hero needs to have to be prepared to face the incoming trials of the future." The hero explained as he turned to the class with a card on his hand with BATTLE written on it. "Let's skip the pleasantries and dive right into the good stuff. Battla Trial is about to begin!"

All Might then got a remote from the teacher's desk and pressed a button, the wall behind him hissing before it divided into stands with suitcases numbered with 01 to 20. He hero pointed to the displayed goods and his following line made the students almost jump in glee. "For your first battle, we prepared the gear that you have been requested to match your individual abilities and quirks!"

"Grab your gear and suit up, boys and girls. I'll be waiting you all in Training ground Beta. Don't forget that your costume is of vital importance, so I hope the designs are according to your requests! HaHaHa!" The buff hero then dashed away, leaving behind a trail of dust and his echoed laughter to the students.

As all the students gathered in line, one was missing from the fray. As All Might observed the teens, he then saw Izuku coming out of the lockers, a confident gait as the boy stared straight ahead. He took a position between a tall boy in white armor and the girl in a pink skin suit who he recognized as Uraraka. His eyes trailed over her costume, analyzing its apparent practicality. The girl turned to him and their eyes meet.

Uraraka waved her hand at him. He approached her and returned the greeting. "Hey Izuku-kun, your costume looks really practical. Very cool!" The teen nodded. "Mine sketch wasn't that good and my costumed ended up being a skin tight suit." The girl shyly said while awkwardly scratching the back of her head.

"H-hey I think your costume ended up looking cool too. I mean…t-that i-s…you look great in it." The green haired boy said. Their mood had a pink aura around it, which was popped immediately when they perceived someone close to them. A short boy dressed mostly in purple and had…Is that a diaper as part of his costume?

The purple teen glanced around the class, his final look onto Uraraka before he turned to Izuku and gave the teen thumbs up. "Hero course is the greatest!" Sure…but I don't think we are agreeing on the same thing was what went on Izuku's suspicious mind as he looked at the short teen.

"Right, right, everyone looks very stylish." The hero tried to hide his laughter as he glanced at Izuku, the boy's costume clearly had taken inspiration on All Might, except with a lot more green in the fray. The hero then took his time to answer the majority of Iida's questions and explain the exercise they would be doing.

"Our exercise will be an indoors battle. Villain clean up outdoors is certainly the most popular and seen by the public, but statistics show that our job is one mostly done indoors. Imprisonment, house arrest, black market; any self-respecting villain lurks in the shadows of our world."

"And as such, you'll be separated into two groups, the 'villains' and the 'heroes', a two-on-two team battle. We will draw lots and pair the groups against each other." A torrent of questions came from the students, almost overwhelming the pro. "I can't understand if you all talk together!" the hero exclaimed, silencing the questions. The big man then coughed and picked a sheet of paper out of his back pocket.

A cheat sheet!? Izuku double-checked the scene of the symbol of peace reading out of his little cheat sheet, the paper almost too small for his big hands.

"…*Ahem*…for the following training we will have the 'villains' defend a nuclear weapon from the 'heroes' that want to stop their evil planning. The heroes will win if they capture both the villains or disarm the bomb by touching it before the timer runs out; the villains will win if they evade capture and keep their bomb the whole time or if they manage to capture the heroes. Draw your lots kids!"

"Sir! Is that really alright?" Iida asked with clear surprise in his voice.

"Well, you can't really choose your partner out in the field and working with a quirk different from your own isn't exactly easy, especially considering you might not know well the person you're working with…" Izuku spoke out loud, Iida immediately spouting an emotional response, the sight of it becoming something Izuku was getting accustomed to.

With all of that said, All Might brought the students to a room with numerous screens displaying different parts of a building. The hero then went to two boxes, one colored blue with golden letters saying HERO while the other was red with VILLAIN written in black, and he put his hands on both boxes, drawing a couple of letters.

"Groups are already settled on who will be facing who, now you young heroes will draw the lots to know which group you belong to." The hero let the teens pick their lots and divide into the teams.

Izuku withdrew his lot and searched for his partner which came in the form of Uraraka. He felt a bit nervous as the girl came bouncing towards him, a pure smile on her face. "How lucky we were paired together right? Let's do our best together Izuku-kun!"

"S-sure thing Uraraka-san. I'll be in your care!" he responded with a bit of a stiff voice. It's my first time taking this much to a girl! He then looked to one of the screens and felt himself get nervous. On the screen was displayed the following:

Hero Team A: Midoriya Izuku and Uraraka Ochaco X Villain Team D: Bakugou Katsuki and Iida Tenya.

Both Izuku and Katsuki turned to face each other, one with a firm and serious expression as he fixed his gloves in place, the other one with a ferocious grin as he clenched his hands, mini explosions already going off on his outstretched hands. Their auras clashed, none willing to back off against the other, and the class watched the tension grow to be almost palpable.

All Might's voice served as background noise for the explosive teen and the green boy, the pro-hero explaining.

"…and as such go all out without fear! Of course, should things go overboard the necessary, I will be stepping in. With that being said, Go PLUS ULTRA!"

While Bakugou and Iida went ahead and entered the building, Izuku and Uraraka stayed behind and waited for their turn. The boy held the map of the building for a few seconds, committing himself to fully memorizing it. That done, he started with a couple of stretches.

[Preparing mainframe for combat situation. Adrenal Boost: ready/ Morphine: ready/ Energy (One for All): still being fixed into Distribution center (Spinal Cord). Blood flow increased due to heart pumping at 115% capacity and increasing. Muscles ready and waiting command. Reinforcements(Joints) are ready for deployment.]

Izuku finished his stretches and glanced at Uraraka, the girl still looking at the map. She looked up and saw him looking at her. The girl came closer to him and spoke to him.

"You look really focused Izuku-kun, this test has you nervous too?" the girl asked, fiddling with the paper map in her hands. She was looking at the ground while saying this, and when he responded the girl looked at him with big eyes.

"Yeah, facing against Kaachan and Iida-kun is going to be tough, but somehow I don't feel like losing against them. I want to prove I belong here just as much as everyone else, and for me, defeating Kaachan is the first step towards that." Izuku said while facing the building they were about to enter.

"Wow, you sound really excited Izuku-kun! Sounds like some rivalry you know, the fate between men that are destined to clash!" The bubbly girl said, clearly impressed with her teammate.

"O-oh you heard that…sorry, I tend to blabber sometimes…don't worry about it."

"No way, we are a team, right? Let's do our best and win!

"Infiltration: success!" Uraraka exclaimed as she closed the window behind her where both she and Izuku had entered the building. His idea of making them float until the second floor and stealthily enter the place had paid off as there were no signs of them being discovered yet.

"Everything is fine for now, but we need to be careful, there are a lot of blind spots around the corners." Izuku walked in front, Uraraka just behind, as they made their way in the corridors of the building. I feel like I can't use that power, too dangerous in an indoors battle and crippling myself in a fight against Kaachan is asking for a defeat, not to talk about Iida-kun's speed. Our best bet is combining my current physical strength and Uraraka-san's Zero Gravity Quirk to…

As the duo rounded a corner, Izuku picked a faint noise. He smelled smoke in the air and heard the noise growing closer and then he realized. FUC- "Uraraka, Get DOWN!" Izuku immediately turned and jumped on the girl, bringing her to the ground and away from the blast as Bakugou slammed his hand on the opposite wall. Concrete exploded and showered the teens on the ground.

"Are you okay, Uraraka?!" Izuku asked while standing up, half of his mask gone while the rest was a smoking mess. The girl was slower on the uptake, but managed to stand up and respond.

"I-I'm g-good, thanks! He came like a bullet though!" Her voice trembled as she stared at the explosive teen slowly lifting himself, his hands glowing and smoking with power. Izuku found himself in a simple fighting stance, right foot back and left foot front while his hands did the same. "Yeah, that sounds just like him. Uraraka, go ahead and scout the building please, I will take care of Kaachan!"

"B-but…how can-"

"Hey, it's okay, just contact me when you find the bomb and don't let Iida-kun capture you." He positioned himself in front of the girl, blocking Bakugou's view of the girl.

"Don't worry about her, Deku! I will blow you away in a single hit, you fucking nerd!" Bakugou exclaimed loudly while charging at the duo, right fist extended to clock the green teen down. What the blonde didn't expect was that Izuku also ran at him, easily entering his wide guard. Izuku grabbed the blonde's right arm before any momentum was generated, spun his hips and placed Bakugou on his back before executing a book-perfect Judo shoulder throw, slamming Katsuki on the ground with enough force to make the teen gasp, spittle flying out of his mouth.

Not wasting any time, Izuku grabbed one of Katsuki's hands and spun the teen in place, making the explosive teen face the ground and reared up for a foot stomp. Bakugou sensed the danger and used his explosions as propulsion, skidding out of reach just before Izuku slammed his red boot where previously Katsuki's head was, a loud noise echoing as a result of his foot meeting concrete. Bakugou glared at the green teen with fury in his red eyes. "You Fucking Deku, now I'm really pissed off!"

"Care to try that again, Kaachan?" Izuku nervously asked, shifting his stance back unto its previous basic form.

"I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU, YOU FUCK!" Bakugou screamed his rage, anger apparent on his face. The explosive teen answered to someone, no doubt Iida, in the earpiece he had. "Shut the fuck up and keep guarding the fucking bomb you damn extra, I got this in the bag!" He then exploded forward once more, charging Izuku and throwing hit after hit against the greenete, who was kept on the defensive. Seeing this as her chance, Uraraka hurried away to search for the bomb. They only had fifteen minutes after all.

"Just try and look away from me, you fuck! I will end you!" while kept in the air by his explosions, Bakugou threw a hard kick at the other teen, who shouldered the hit. Bakugou smirked, but had little margin for the action as he felt something almost wrap around the leg he used to kick. He looked down and found Izuku trying to use the capture tape on him. Hurring to avoid defeat, Bakugou blasted towards the other boy's head, making Izuku drop the tape and roll to dodge the blast.

Rolling into a crouched position, Izuku turned around and fled the area, running full speed to escape his opponent's grasp. All the while Bakugou gritted his teeth, anger almost bursting from every pore in his body. Need to create some distance between us, Kaachan will get angrier and more careless with his attacks. Since Iida-kun isn't here with him they must've split up with little to no planning. Not that Uraraka-san and I had any plans, but now we have the advantage over them. "Uraraka-san listen…"

"You had fun mocking me right, you shit stain, huh?! Hiding your quirk against me and playing the quirkless piss-ant you are! How fun is it Deku? Answer me you fuck!" Bakugou shouted, running after the other teen who would keep on running and not facing him. Fucking coward, that is what you are! Come on and use your quirk against me you shithead! I will beat you with my strongest!

Corridor after corridor, Izuku kept on running and avoiding combat, pissing further the explosive teen that was beyond furious at this point. Bakugou was getting ready to blast this whole corridor to kingdom come when suddenly a blur came at him. He smirked wildly, his hands coming up to blow the insolent little shit Deku. The explosion was far stronger than he predicted, a consequence of the chase he had been doing, but there was no crying complain or exclamation of pain.

The smoke from the explosion dispersed and Bakugou found himself almost face first into a burnt glove, which he batted aside with his right hand, only to find Deku close up, running low and almost inside his guard once more. Katsuki extended his left arm to let an explosion rip the pathetic scrub aside, but he couldn't avoid the uppercut that shook his entire brain. The blow connected with a sick *CRUNCH* as his teeth snapped shut and he was sent flying backwards.

His own explosive blow hit center mass and pushed the green boy backwards with force, the sound of the red boots skidding to a stop was music to Bakugou's ears, even when he felt out of balance.

Both boys focused their eyes one into the other, determination apparent for both of them. Bakugou's gauntlet flashed red and the boy growled in fury. "…It's ready!"

Izuku hissed at the pain he felt on his chest. His costume was still intact, if a bit covered in sooth, and while he loved that his mother had made the thing for him, he was modifying the hell out of it as soon as he got the chance, extra padding or tougher layers would have been really nice just about now. After hearing Uraraka he had worked on something of a plan, telling back the details to the girl as she explained her situation.

She had found the bomb, and Iida guarding it, but the girl had also been found by the taller teen and now they were in a stalemate. He heard from the girl that Iida had countermeasures against Uraraka's Zero Gravity quirk by cleaning the room of anything she could use against him.

He once more touched the area where he was blasted, the tender flesh complaining at the slightest touch. He tried to use the same strategy Bakugou had and rushed the blonde, baiting his right hand by throwing his own glove and coming in soon after, but while successful in hitting Bakugou square in the jaw with an uppercut, he himself had been tagged by the blonde.

The pain dulled somewhat, allowing Izuku to raise his eyes to meet Kaachan's, the blonde sporting a full grin as he put his right hand up, the gauntlet aimed at Izuku.

"Shitty deku, since you like to stalk me so much, you probably know how my quirk works right? Well, if those fucks at U.A did what I asked them to, my bracers store the sweat and I can use it like this!" Bakugou cocked the handle of his grenade shaped bracers and had one finger on the pin, which he then pulled off. The explosive teen firmed his stance, but due to the rocking blow on his jaw he faltered and his aim went a bit up.

Izuku immediately dove to the floor, but even then he felt heat incomparable to before wash over him, burning a good chunk of his costume's right side and the force blew him into a wall. The smoke allowed no one to see anything, and the rumbling sound of rubble and concrete falling was loud.

"Bakugou, what was that!?" Iida asked through earpiece, making Bakugou wince at the headache he was having. He growled and ignored the taller teen's voice in favor of screaming at Izuku. "DEKU! Use you quirk, I will break you at your strongest!"

"Young Bakugou, another blast like that and you will lose the exercise. There is no point in destroying your own hideout and exposing yourself to more heroes. Do that again and a massive number of points will be detracted from you, Villain or hero!" All Might's voice sounded on Bakugou's earpiece, annoying the teen further.

"Izuku-kun, are you alright?" Uraraka's concerned voice sounded on the teen's ringing ears or so he assumed. He couldn't hear her properly due to the intense ringing, but he knew his time was running out. You ASKED for it, Kaachan! "YEAH? I'M WONDERFUL!" He shouted as he lifted himself up, ignoring the cracked hole in the building. He rushed at the other teen, hoping the remaining smoke would cover his move.

[Adrenal Boost released in the bloodstream. Mainframe now working at 150% of maximum capacity. Reflexes and stimuli-response increased due to adrenaline overload. Blood Flow, Oxygen intake, Muscle response, and heart pumping frequency now working at 135% power. Reinforcements (joints) deployed.]

It seemed Bakugou had the same idea as he came charging over Izuku, his mini blasts keeping him in the air. "I only need to punch your face in then!" Izuku prepared to counterattack, but Bakugou changed directions mid-air via explosion, going over Izuku's haymaker and blasting him in the back with another explosion.

[More genetic material acquired and analyzed. Resistance to quirk factor: Explosion increased to 23% More morphine released in the bloodstream. Pain dulling at 46%]

"GAhh!" Izuku was pushed forward, staggering a bit due to the sudden force. It doesn't hurt as bad as before. I can do this!

"Here is your favorite right swing, you fuck!" Another explosion and Bakugou's right bracer came like a wrecking ball into Izuku. The green teen managed to turn around and fix himself in place and he was slammed by the blonde's swing. Izuku managed to endure the blow and trapped the limb securely between his arm and side. Pulling Bakugou close to him, Izuku brought his forehead to meet the other teen's nose, making blood spray over his hair and Katsuki's face.

Howling furiously, Bakugou made another explosion on Izuku's side, freeing himself from the greenete's hold, and grabbing the boy's arm. Another sequence of short explosions made both of them spin aggressively before the blonde repeated the actions of the green teen and made to slam Izuku on the ground. "YOU ARE BENEATH ME!"

Izuku, instead of simply being slammed on the ground, bent his knees and went with the throw. He grit his teeth as he hit the ground with quite some force, yet the blow didn't disable him as he grabbed ahold of Bakugou's hand and pulled the teen to ground while also standing up between Bakugou's legs, holding the explosive blonde as if the he was a potato bag. Letting the blonde fall close to his feet, Izuku kicked Bakugou hard on the chest, making the blonde emit a groaning noise as he rolled with the blow and made some distance between the two of them.

They once more stared at each other and while their faces were bloody messes, their eyes held the same conviction of the start of the round, the same fire. Bakugou was beyond pissed at the other teen's eyes. Izuku just stared at him with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Fall down already, Useless Deku!"

"You fall first Kaachan!"

They both charged at each other, this would be the deciding blow.

Katsuki charged with his palms glowing, mini-explosions sparking constantly as blood fell off his nose. Izuku himself was charging at the blonde, arm cocked back to deliver a smashing blow. As the distance between then shortened, Izuku shouted into his earpiece.

"URARAKA, NOW!" Bakugou didn't know if that was a bluff or not, and right now he couldn't care less.

They both could feel the heat their bodies emitted, so short was the gap between them, yet Bakugou knew something was off. He wasn't seeing the red veins of light that were supposed to appear on Izuku's arms as he used his quirk. You aren't taking this serious, are you DEKU?!

[Focusing adrenaline into the mainframe's legs. Pain dulling at 55%. Leg muscles enhanced for 20 seconds.]

Izuku jumped at the last second, letting Bakugou's explosion pass harmlessly under him as he used the blonde's head and did a handstand, copying his early maneuver and bringing his feet down on Bakugou's back, slamming the blonde on ground. Not wasting any time, Izuku grabbed a fistful of Bakugou's hair and slammed the teen's face unto the ground, followed by a quick move to grab the capture tape and wrap it first around the blonde's two legs before pulling it and using the remaining tape to tie the blonde's arms, effectively hogtying him.

"B-b-bakugou of Villain team is captured!

Izuku barely breathed before he rushed to the stairs.

1 minute remaining.

"Uraraka, where are you?"

"Fifth floor, the first room Izuku-kun. You defeated Bakugou-kun, that is amazing!"

Izuku couldn't respond, too busy running like a madman. He reached the room where his partner and Iida where, the former panting hard while the latter seemed content to be staying in his place.

42 seconds remaining.

"Izuku-kun-…"

"Uraraka-san, make yourself float and grab on, please!"

The girl did as asked, and the green teen took a hold of her hand, bringing her unto his back and making her grab the ruined remains of his hoodie.

"W-what are we doing I-izuku-kun?"

"Rush Iida."

35 seconds remaining.

"What, why? Isn't he faster than us?"

"I will chase him and when he is occupied running and looking ahead, thinking I'd be chasing him, I will throw you at the bomb before he can notice!"

22 seconds remaining.

"Hold on tight, Uraraka-san!"

"W-wait aghh…"

"You will never be able to catch me, heroes! My comrade may have fallen, but I will not be tricked into the same- Woah!" Izuku rushed past Iida, who dodged the duo human train of Izuku and Uraraka, who was in his back akin to some weird backpack.

The green teen skidded to a stop and turned; fierce eyes gluing themselves unto Tenya, the taller teen turned and started to run to get out of their reach.

17 seconds remaining

Iida ran to get away from his pursuers, the bomb secured safely into his hands. He turned his head to get a read on the distance between him and Midoriya, but he frowned when all he saw was that tired teen had his arm stretched, as if he had…thrown something…?! Where is Uraraka?

5 Seconds remaining.

Iida felt a weight settle on the bomb, making the paper construct tilt and fall from his hands. The taller boy panicked, thinking he somehow had damaged his payload, yet when he settled his eyes on the girl hugging the bomb, defeat sounded for him.

"Hero Team secured the Bomb and wins!"

The taller teen collapsed on the ground.

"How could I be so careless and let the heroes outsmart me in such a simplistic way?!" the boy was on his knees, one hand beating the ground in frustration. While Iida dealt with his frustrations, Izuku lied with his back on the ground, feeling his body releasing an absurd amount of sweat.

[Mainframe overheated due to overexertion. Cooling ducts working at 80% capacity. Estimated time for full body cooldown: 60 minutes. Mainframe will be running on Energy Economy Mode until cooldown completion]

[Energy (One for All) has been successfully settled into Distribution area (Spinal Cord). Electrical to nerve signals have been optimized. Safe Energy usage levels have been increased from 2% to 5%. Acclimating body to changes.]

Izuku felt once again the weird tingle in his spine, this time however it felt as if he could control it. The same burst of power, only this time it was at a lower frequency, like something he could control without breaking his body. This feeling…would be pretty nice back there, when I was getting my ass blasted by Kaachan! What kinda quirk is this? Ahh, too tired to complain.

The teen stayed still for a few moments before someone appeared in his vision camp. The warm brown eyes of Uraraka looked at him worringly.

"Are you okay, Izuku-kun? Here, take my hand." Izuku accepted her offer and with some effort on the girl's part, he was up on his feet. "Umm, your costume got kind of…blown apart?" as the girl mentioned, he did feel breezy around his abdomen. As he looked downwards to check the current state of his suit, Izuku couldn't help but be ashamed of his current condition.

Being in the receiving end of Bakugou's explosions, his suit was covered in sooth and burn marks; his mask had fallen off at some point and his hoodie was nothing more than a messy and ripped piece of cloth and to finish the deal his right sleeve had been burnt off, together with some parts of his torso, showing a bare part of his abdomen.

Now Izuku wasn't ashamed of his body, his training was something he would never regret, but not being around too many girls in middle school had made so that he didn't know how to react when one was seeing a part of him "naked". He blushed and stammered, not knowing what to say to the bubbly girl that was avoiding eye contact with him.

Ahh, now she hates me! What do I do, I mean my costume got burnt and it's a training exercise so some accidents should be expected right? Besides, I remember that guy in the red costume that had no shirt whatsoever so it's not my fault, right?

"Young Midoriya, Iida, Uraraka are you all in condition of watching your classmates' turns or do any of you need to visit Recovery Girl?" All Might's voice saved him the awkward situation (he did not). The trio of students, plus one shockingly silent Bakugou being carried by medic bots, returned to the room in which their classmates were waiting for them, some whispering about how the combat had been absolutely livid, or in the case of the guy without a shirt and dressed in a red costume, "a manly clash of guts and spirits in which two men duke it out to come out on top and make their dreams come true, how manly!".

"Well, now that our very eager colleagues are here, who can tell me who the MVP of the round was?" All Might asked, and mature looking Yaoyozuro lifted her hand, a serious look on her face. "Go ahead, young Yaoyozuro."

"Iida-san, without a doubt, did the best out of the four, Midoriya-san coming right in second." Her answer took many by surprise, seeing as they expected the girl to be praising the winner duo. "Mind explaining to class the reason behind your choice?" The girl nodded and continued speaking.

"Iida-san behaved accordingly to what was expected of the exercise, playing his part was the villain which was to thwart any advantage the heroes might have had, while preparing to play against the enemy. Katsuki-san rushed ahead with almost no communication or planning, in what was clearly personal grudge against Midoriya-san, and were it not for the combat abilities of his quirk he would be immediately subdued due to lack of proper information on the enemy, improper conduct and brashness."

"Uraraka-san was the weaker link in her group, following orders blindly, and while the orders were mostly right, that kind of behavior may lead to dangerous situations in the future. She offered little help when Bakugou-san rushed Midoriya and she was found out due to not taking the seriousness of the situation into accord, giving away what was a perfect spot for an ambush."

"Midoriya-san played to his team's cards, smartly entering the building without alerting the villain team and when combat came calling for him, he ensured both he and his teammate were safe from a surprise attack. His call to split up was a mistake, seeing as his aggressor was solely focused on him giving them the perfect chance to have Uraraka sneak in and capture him without exhausting himself in his fight against Bakugou. He didn't rely on his quirk, if he ever used it and managed to capture one villain and his objective. His plans were solid and adaptable, but his last mistake was not keeping track of the time, almost losing the exercise due to his excitement in fighting Bakugou. I believe that is all sir, is there anything else?"

"N-n-no…Y-you summed it up…p-perfectly. W-well young heroes, rest up and observe the matches of your classmates, there is always something to learn while watching someone else." All Might said while writing grades on the previous fighters. The man quickly looked over his handiwork before calling for the next team to battle. The hero focused his eyes on the silent and shocked Bakugou. Pride must be worked, young Bakugou. You have the qualities of a hero, but you're just rough around the edges. Let this failure be a lesson to you to work harder.

As the battles continued, Izuku couldn't help but be awed by the combat ability of his classmates. His fight had been hard fought, but against someone like Todoroki Shouto, who just flash froze the entirety the villain hideout, Izuku was sure he would have no chance. He didn't let the thought stop him from writing various notes on his classmates' quirks.

As the fighting finished, the students went back to the lockers to change while he went to the infirmary to have a look at his bruised ribs. Kaachan did always have a heavy hand, and while he only felt some dull pain now, who knew what could happen, it wouldn't hurt to go to Recovery Girl's office now would it?

…

…

…

"Thank you, recovery girl." Izuku said by the door, before closing the sliding door slowly and making his way to exit the school. The boy was mixing and matching some of ideas about martial combat and if his possible quirk had something to do with the tingling sensation on his spine. So distracted was the boy in his endeavor that he almost bumped into a slowly walking figure. His body moved automatically to avoid the slow walker and Izuku ended up face to face with Bakugou.

The blonde had been silent for the rest of the lesson and had ignored pretty much everyone that tried to talk to him. His eyes shifted to meet green orbs and the boy growled.

"The fuck do you want, deku?"

"Hey Kaachan, just passing by, don't mind me." Now that the thrill of combat and adrenaline were over, he could (supposedly) talk normally with his childhood friend like a human being, not like the aggressive fighter he had shown his schoolmates.

"Fuck off, you piss-ant. Worthless shit…" the blonde walked at his side, slowly grumbling curses after curses, some quite creative while others not so much. They walked side by side, no words pronounced between the two, just the noise of their shoes walking. As they came to a stop by a red traffic sign, Bakugou spat out a sentence.

"Had fun pretending to be a quirk-less shit back in Middle school, making fun of me as you were and doing it again now, huh?"

Izuku let out a tired sigh, before he tightened his backpack straps and ran a hand over his hair. "Look Kaachan, you might not believe me, but until a couple of months, I never thought I had a quirk, hell, still today I'm not sure if I have one or not, but there is one thing that is fully mine and will always be, quirk or no, and that is my will to be a hero." They had resumed their walk when the traffic sign displayed green, their pace an easy to match, yet no one wanted to approach the serious boys.

"I always admired how strong you are, how popular you are, how confident you are, your awesome quirk, even your damn father; you are everything I wanted to be, and so you became someone I wanted to reach and surpass, just like All Might. Even with the bullying, I withstood because in the end, you were awesome to me, no matter your faults. I shouldered everything that came my way, because I thought that if I did that, I could become stronger, just like you."

They passed by a convenience store, Izuku grabbing some strawberry mochi ice cream and Bakugou seemed content with a can of soda. They walked in silent once more, passing by a bridge and getting close to their train station. Eventually, both boys boarded a train and sat on empty seats before Izuku finished his treat and started talking once more.

"But then I saw my mom, what my depressive and honestly pathetic state had caused to her, and I decided to go beyond you, Kaachan. I wanted to reach the heavens, be the best hero ever not only to save people, but to put a smile back on my mother's face. Dad is gone, and will never come back, so I became the man of the house and I wanted to grow up, do something more. What kind of hero makes his mother sad or cry? I trained hard, Kaachan, harder than ever and I will keep training harder than anyone else, not only to surpass you, but to surpass everyone in your class."

The boys exited the train and continued walking, the city background now covering for their silence with its multitude of sounds and people. They continued walking until they reached a beautiful beach, the sun long gone and the starry night sky providing a nice backdrop to their silent conversation.

They walked down the stairs and stepped onto sand.

"Am I supposed to pity you or something, scrub?" Katsuki sneered, hands in his pockets and an uncaring attitude as always. He kicked a pile of sand away, as if the temporary construct had somehow insulted his presence. "Think your cheap ass story is going to make me cry and beg forgiveness on my knees? Guess what fuckface, I don't own you shit!"

"You never did before, Kaachan, but now you have to admit, I won in a fair fight against you. Acknowledge that fact Kaachan, the scrub you called Deku can now win against you!" Izuku rose his voice, fists clenched as he stared into the explosive teen.

"Hah, you want to try me, you shit-wank? You got lucky, as if a quirk-less nobody like you could win against me; but now you apparently have a quirk and want to be the new hot shit, but you refuse to fight using your shitty quirk!" Bakugou shouted, voice hoarse as if trying to hold back tears "You want me to say it, to acknowledge you? Then use your fucking quirk, prove it that you're not some loser extra that I have to protect!"

"Protect? You never protected me; I just learned to ignore what others had to say at me." Izuku pulled his red tie from his neck and wrapped the cloth around his right fist. "Don't try to play the good guy now!"

Katsuki let his backpack fall into the sand as he cracked his fists. "If some loser wants to say something, at least say it on my face and not behind my back, otherwise they can suck it and face it, I'm better than then!" The teen once more assumed his usual fighting pose of open palms, mini explosions already going off.

Izuku always tried to hold his emotions in check, keep then in control. He knew the world was harsh, but instead of complains, all you can do is to stand up and face it. He did that, trying to keep his cool every time something happened, but now he couldn't and he felt he shouldn't, he didn't want to bottle up anymore.

His feelings were about to burst and as once more both boys stared at each other, their convictions clashed, their personalities, their hobbies, their everything clashed opposite of one another, yet they were still "friends". As this came to clash, Izuku felt lightning spark from his spine, the sensation of power brimming from himself. He wished to cover himself in that aura of power, and such the action was done.

Red veins of light traced all over his body, illuminating him and bringing forth a new strength in him. The power stabilized and soon green lightning was sparking around him, his body covered in a sheen of light, the random green lightning arcing around him.

"THAT'S IT, DEKU! COME AT ME AT YOUR STRONGEST!"

Izuku smiled confidently, no sarcasm in his words as he cocked a fist back.

"Sure thing, Kaachan, you asked for it!"

They both charged against each other.

Next day

U.A Academy Grounds.

There was a commotion in front of the gates of the biggest hero school in Japan as a great number of journalists seemed hell bent on getting even a lick of information about All Might, the number one hero that was teaching at the school. The journalists tried different approaches and different students, but in the end they never managed to get anything out of anyone.

A journalist was frustrated at her lack of progress and when she saw a green haired teen approach the school gates with the school uniform on, she jumped at the chance immediately.

"What kind of lessons All Might teaches…wait what happened to your face?" she asked the teen, who was sporting a massive bruise on his left cheek.

"Sorry, but erh…well, you know." The teen tried to get away from the reporter, yet the lady continued getting closer and closer to him. That is until an annoyed voice barked out at both of them.

"Oi Deku! The fuck you're wasting time talking with these extras for here?" A rough looking blonde boy, sporting a similar bruise on his right cheek, passed the camera crew and beside the green haired one. "Come on you loser." The blonde continued walking, the green one now following beside him as they talked, the dynamic between the two a weird one as the green haired talked politely, while the blonde was rude and loud.

"Bakugou, you're not a child anymore, stop behaving like one and wasting your potential." Aizawa's tired and ruff voice scolded the blonde boy. The man simply craned his to look behind the blonde. "And you Midoriya, last time I checked, you weren't a reckless fool who would jump like that in combat. Your martial arts were sloppy and too rough."

"…tch, I know." "Yes, Aizawa-sensei."

"Now, we are going to start with the usual homeroom notices…is what I would like to say, but I will have to spring this on you all, sorry in advance." The whole class tensed at the man clad in dark clothing. The tension grew until Shouta spoke again. "Go ahead and pick a class president."

The tension immediately left the students, their relaxed demeanor culminating in a single thought. "Finally something school-like!"

As the students filled the class with noise and shouts, each one wanting to be president, Iida stood from the background with a speech about the sacredness of such an important role and how everyone was to consider what is meant to be a class president. Even while his hand was raised the highest.

AU. Notes.

Done with another baby. I'm just about open to suggestions, but please don't shove anything too crazy in my hands. The golden star in this chapter was, in my not so humble opinion (I made the fucking thing), the fight scene, but hey I'm no fight choreographic professional, so maybe it came out horrible. Judge it and tape the answer on my corpse! Cause I've been sucked dry by this chapter.

Pairings once more will be for the future, even when I have about ten lemon scenes being cooked on my head. For each girl I have in mind!

Hey, did you know that frogs don't have gag reflex, just like snakes? Do you know what I can do with such tiny bit of information?

If Momo can create anything as long as it isn't alive from her exposed skin, can she make a rubber "appear" when you are match-making her pieces (Huniepop sex references!)?

If Tooru's quirk is invisibility, does your **** become invisible when you're doing her, or does it only appear as if you're trusting into thin air?

OK ok, enough….for now!

Back to the topic of Gamer Quirk. Here are some ideas I think would make the quirk seem much more lore friendly, while still making it a viable quirk. (Have in mind that due to the gamer ability being a mystical ability that can be tied to any and everything imaginable, we will have to nerf it to match the science in BnHA as even the most OP quirks in universe have somewhat of a basis in science, even it said connection is loose at best, locking at you Kurogiri and your Warping shit!)

-Have the quirk be a mental type! one that manages your brain into organizing itself into a RPG like structure resembling a game, but all abilities are things humans can do. If you must go overboard with the concept and add some crazy shit like spitting fire, search how mythological creatures did so, like the scientific explanation on how dragons would spit fire.

-Have it be All for one! The most OP quirk, the OJ "I have all the powers so you can't beat me with yours' calling card that can be used without hurting the plot or seemingly cheap (even though it fucking is). Anything can be justifiable by "I stole a bunch of quirks, mixed then all together and they became this OP ability to stack on top of the other Broken op ability I already have."

-Have Izuku be a prototype of Nomu! One that hasn't had his brain fried out, but tampered with and due to Tomura's sick tendencies, he asked for your brain to be configured as a gamer interface, just to fuck with you.

-Mechanization quirk! Just like Naruto's Ashura path Pain, make that bitch a robot, and if that don't work, make more robot until it works!

-Or….you know, ignore everything I said and just give him the OP, OJ, Supreme, T-posing to establish dominace, Gamer ability! Why? Because I don't fuckin' own you, do whatever suits you, mate, just remember to wash your hands after you're done.

Good night, good afternoon, good morning, and to everyone that reads this…

You are a fagot!
