A/N: First and foremost I apologize for how long it's been since the last chapter. School work and exams are catching up to me like mother fuckers and I'm moving soon so that's a thing. Also to those of you who worry saying "Please update soon" I will always keep working on Spider of Peace for as long as I can and as long as the BNHA series goes on for (Unless I announce otherwise).

Aside from that, on with the chapter :)

Recap: After a long time coming Izuku finally dealt with the UA entrance exam and was pretty certain he had just failed his whole exam because of what he did in his practical exam. While he did have a strong start Izuku's performance quickly went downhill as the monstrous zero point robot showed up. This is what lead to Izuku to using One for All to completely obliterating the thing in one rage fueled punch but also learning that his inherited power was something that required large amounts of responsibility to use.

. . . . . .

Literally as Izuku had just gotten healed up the UA judges were already talking about the surprise turn of events with all what happened and how the scores were already looking based on what they had seen alone.

"This has certainly been an odd exam this year"

"In tied 1st place we have Examine Number 2233, Katsuki Bakugou, with zero rescue points but an outstanding seventy-seven villain points. He wasn't even slowing down during the second half when everyone else was. This kid is definitely tough"

"Then you have Examine Number 2238, Izuku Midoriya, on the opposite side of the spectrum only scoring ten villain points but a massive sixty-seven rescue points making him tied with young Bakugo for first"

"It's been a while since we had two people come first in the exam.."

"These two are complete opposites to one another yet they on the exact same level"

"Not to mention the pure speed and power, that this Midoriya showed against the zero pointer. It's been a very long time since anyone actually destroyed the thing in a way he did"

"Yes but that brings us to the final matter. This Midoriya boy showed powers and techniques very similar to that of the vigilante Spider-Man, and this is something we can't ignore"

Silence fell over the room for a brief moment.

"I agree and we've never had a problem like this before…"

"Just interview the kid to see if he's worth taking in or not, I don't have time for pointless decisions"

"Cold as always Aizawa…"

"But he does raise a point, why not interview the boy to see if he'd be a honest student at this school or not?"

"So it's agreed then?"

"Yes" All of them said in unison.

"I'll let Present Mic know to bring him here right away"

. . . . . .

Back at the UA main building Izuku was staring into thin air as he kept thinking over and over in his head about how he had failed his entry into UA and how he had failed All Might at being a proper successor. During his little daze Izuku failed to notice Present Mic a couple meters behind him now getting off of the phone and walking up behind Izuku.

"Hey young listener! I need you to come with me!" Present Mic stated putting a hand on Izuku's shoulder startling him and completely shocking Izuku at the fact he was being pulled aside by one of his all-time favorite heroes.

"Y-Yeah sure, C-Can I ask why?" Izuku asked in nervous curiosity as both he and Present Mic began walking deeper and deeper into the UA building until they reached a large metal door that only made Izuku gulp in a mixture of fear and nervousness.

"Sorry kid you're gonna have to ask them that!" Present Mic boomed out opening the door for Izuku so he was faced with a dimly lit room with a bunch of Izuku assumed to be heroes sitting on chairs all looking directly at Izuku. Not even being in the room for less than a second and Izuku could feel the tension in the atmosphere and stood in front of the heroes patiently before the smallest one spoke.

"Examine 2238, Izuku Midoriya, age 15, born and raised here in Tokyo. You're a completely normal teenager… but then we had a look at what you're quirk is…" The small joyful voice spoke which Izuku's eye's widened at as he recognized the voice from when he watched UA Sports Festival a couple months back; It was the school's principal, Nedzu.

"You've been registered as having no quirk for since kindergarten, but this doesn't look like the movements of someone with no quirk" Just as Nedzu said that the screens behind him started playing videos of Izuku's performance in the practical exam.

'Crap! I didn't realize how fast I was going! I knew I would be a little fast but not that fast! And of course I would get noticed if I used my webs. I'm such an idiot!' Currently hating his naive self for not stopping himself from using his spider powers, Izuku just looked down at the floor for a couple of seconds as he clenched his fists slightly.

When he finally looked back up though Izuku went cold when he saw that some of the screens were changing to times when his Spider-Man fights were recorded by news reporters and amateur recordings. It was as if the teachers were comparing the two side by side.

"As you can see, we noticed a distinct similarity between you and the vigilante known as Spider-Man. So, we only have one question for you…" Izuku's blood ran cold as the words came out of Nedzu's mouth.

"Are you or are you not the vigilante, Spider-Man?"

Ideas

Scenarios

Panic

Doubt

Fear

All of these things started to rush through Izuku's head like lightning as he kept thinking that there had to be a way out of this mess. He knew only two answers were acceptable at that this point but he knew that he was an awful liar and the fact he's been silent for about ten seconds meant he was already screwed.

Finally sucking up the courage Izuku gulped then looked at the shadow covered Nedzu with determination saying what he knew he couldn't avoid saying.

"Yes, I am Spider-Man"

Though his body was full of courage, Izuku's mind was filled to the brim with fear trying not to break the face he was forcing on. Every second that went by in silence Izuku's fear grew more and more to the point where sweat started to flow down his head ever so slightly.

"Well glad we got that out of the way, you can go now"

At first the principal's words confused Izuku but as they slowly sunk in he realized that he now had the least possible chance of getting into UA at this point compared to everyone else who entered. He was a vigilante, why would a school for heroes accept him. Of course Izuku knew the risks of what he just did but at this point he also knew one thing, one very important thing he knew and was told by others most his life…

It was all his fault.

It was his fault that he showed his spider powers; he could've easily done better with just his natural speed, strength and stamina and not used his webs.

It was his fault that he failed the exam; he took it to lightly, he should've taken it so much more seriously.

It was his fault that he was going to disappoint All Might...

That's when Izuku's mind broke.

Already half way home he just side stepped into the closest ally way and leant against the brick wall holding his hands to his face just and just began crying as if everything he had worked for was pointless because of his own choices.

His stupid choices, not anyone else's, his.

As tears seeped from his eyes and his body slowly slid down the brick wall into a little ball, Izuku couldn't stop the overwhelmingly negative memories flooding into his head.

His loneliness ever since he was a small child.

The constant bullying for being Quirkless from almost everyone who went to the same school as him.

Bakugo's constant abuse reminding him that he would always be weak and pathetic.

His own mother telling him sorry over and over again for not giving him a quirk.

All Might telling him to dream realistically and that he wasn't cut out to be a hero. His own weakness.

It was almost as if his brain was forcing back every positive emotion and memory in his life and was feeding him all of his negative memories.

"You should just kill yourself"

As those five words kept echoing through his Izuku looked up with tear stained eyes to see that Bakugo was standing in front of him with a very arrogant smirk.

"K-Kachan" Izuku stammered out in shock attempting to wipe away his tears and regain his composure; both of which failed miserably.

"Didn't you hear me, you bastard?! I said you should just fucking kill yourself!" Bakugo shouted almost like a command making Izuku flinch.

Normally Izuku would just cry more or accept the abuse from Bakugo but something felt different, like something in the back of his head was urging him to retaliate like his very skin was crawling telling his instincts to do something; urging him to fight. Izuku slowly slid his body up the wall while his fists were clenched tightly to the point where his knuckles turned white.

"D-Do you even think about what you say to others?! How it makes them feel and how insignificant they feel!" His voice traced with little hints of anger that Bakugo could pick up on easily.

"When did you get the fucking balls to talk back to me you Quirkless bastard?!" Bakugo gritted out in anger as he raised his hand in an almost claw like style before he started threatening Izuku by making very small explosions in the palms of his hands.

As he was used to doing for years, Izuku flinched at the sight of Bakugo's intimidation technique but not even a second before another skin crawling sensation went through his body making his eye's and expression hardened while his right hand's grip became even tighter all the while he now properly stood up in front of Bakugo noticing that thanks to his quirk's little growth spurt he was now actually taller than Bakugo by a couple inches.

"What?! Are you gonna hit me?! Don't make me laugh you shitty bastard! You couldn't even graze me if you tried!" Bakugo laughed loudly in Izuku's face making his urge to fight reach boiling point.

Izuku didn't say anything but instead reeled his right arm back threw a powerful punch that he put all of his body weight behind it so he knew it would have a powerful impact when it hit. Izuku's punch was only met through with one impact and that was the rough crumbling feeling of a broken brick wall.

Izuku began panicking immediately as he thought the punch was too hard but when looked around not only did he see no trace of Bakugo but there was no trace of anyone being in the alleyway except for himself.

"What?... I swear Kachan was here… that… that couldn't have been a hallucination could it?" Izuku said to no one in particular before turning back to his currently stuck arm and pried it free with a slight struggle.

As Izuku examined his arm for damage he was noticing the hints of black shooting through his veins as the cuts and scrapes on his knuckles began to heal up extraordinarily quickly. The flashes of black couldn't help but remind Izuku of the black orb he had saw in his dream the previous night.

'Does the symbiote have anything to do about this?... I mean these bursts of anger only started happening after I saw that black orb…' Izuku thought to himself as he looked at his knuckles heal themselves quickly as they only had slight bloody grazes on them from the impact on the brick.

"I'll go see Doctor Connors, maybe he'll know what is happening with me and the symbiote…" Izuku said out loud to himself as he blankly stared at his arm before making his way up to the roof and began running from rooftop to rooftop not even caring if he got caught; he wasn't in the mood to care if he was honest with himself.

. . . . . .

With the soft usual thud he normally made, Izuku landed in Doctor Connor's lab and was met with the slightly energetic but welcoming voice.

"Ah Izuku! So good to see you again, you're just the person I wanted to see!" Doctor Connors greeted with a large grin on his face.

"H-Hey, Doctor Connors…" Surprised by the sudden burst excitement Izuku took a step back but regained composure a second later allowing Connors to notice the blank and almost depressed look on Izuku's face.

"So I take it the exam didn't go well?" Connors asked losing some of the excitement in his expression.

"No… I was an idiot, and I'm pretty sure I'm having hallucinations because of all this stress…" Izuku said in a quiet and defeated voice while looking down at the floor gritting his teeth slightly.

Only a few seconds passed by before Izuku felt Connor's left and only arm on his shoulder and looked up to see Connor's expression as a soft and warm smile.

"I'll tell you this now, you are far from an idiot Izuku. Not to mention you have an extraordinary amount of talent for a hero" Trying to get Izuku out of his depressed state Connor's attempted to let Izuku know that he wasn't doing anything wrong but at the same time trying not to spill the fact about the rescue points as All Might had let that slip a couple of days ago.

"I'm still a failure…" Izuku mumbled before being met with a sigh from Doctor Connors who had now taken his hand off of Izuku and walking towards part of his lab before pulling out a medium sized metal suitcase and holding it in front of him before stating "Here".

Raising a slight eyebrow at the gesture Izuku took the suitcase from Connors and hesitantly opened it to see the other spider suit he designed.

'No...no no no… I don't deserve this…'

"Similar to the Web shooters, I followed your designs as much as possible but made a couple technical adjustments of my own design" Connors stated with a small proud smile while Izuku held up the mask of the green and black suit shaking slightly.

"Hey… you alright?" Noticing that Izuku was shaking and now crying as he held the mask in his hands.

"I-I don't deserve this… Why? Why is everyone being so nice to me… First All Might… then Momo-chan and Ura-chan… and now you… I don't deserve all this at all… I've let you all down…I'm sorry… I'm so sorry" Izuku said as tears seeped out of his eyes trailing down his face before splattering on the mask.

Doctor Connors could only watch as Izuku slowly broke down in front of him as he couldn't do anything to stop Izuku from crying as saying anything nice would make him an even worse state and it was out of the question to say anything negative as that would be even worse.

Minute after minute went by with Izuku weeping out all of pent up emotions each tear feeling like a small weight was being lifted slightly from his shoulders. It wasn't until 15 minutes passed that Izuku could clear up his tears and not look like a complete mess.

"S-Sorry about that…" Izuku apologized with a slight bow as it dawned on him that he was in fact still in Doctor Connor's lab.

Connor's sighed before helping Izuku back up to his feet before speaking.

"It's fine. Honestly I'm not surprised you've broken down like this, you've done so much that stress was bound to build up and get to you" Connor's confessed to Izuku as he pulled a seat from his lab desk and sat down on it facing Izuku.

Izuku merely wiped his tears away and attempted to regain his composure before speaking again to the one armed OSCORP scientist with a slight bow.

"Thank you… for the suit and… for understanding…" His voice still a little raspy from the break down Izuku looked up at Doctor Connors with a determined look as he asked him if he could test the suit in the combat room which was received with a smile and a "Yes".

Normally Izuku would be over the moon from something like this but right now he was more concerned of letting out his pent up stress on the combat drones than having another breakdown.

With the new suit in his left hand and the mask in his right, Izuku made his way into the combat room almost relieved that he could do this.

After slipping into his new suit and strapping the utility belt to his waist, Izuku noticed that the suit was a lot looser than he expected it to be.

"Press the center spider symbol that's on the chest" Connors said over the speakers as if he could read his mind.

Doing what the one armed doctor suggested Izuku pressed the spider icon making a little clink and beeping noise and almost instantly felt the whole thing tighten up after that noise. As expected of the material it was made of, the spandex suit was now skin tight hugging close to Izuku's body; a lot closer than he would've liked.

'I knew spandex was tight b-but this is more than I expected…' Izuku thought to himself with embarrassment he looked down at himself somewhat insecure with how the suit really showed off his physique which he was still actually quite embarrassed and insecure about.

Izuku ignored the suit's flashiness of his slim figure and began looking at the pattern that was on chest and back.

The black marks on the suit went all over the chest making a spider like symbol that really contrasted perfectly with the green suit. On the suit it also had a small little stripe on the boots which Izuku assumed made the bottom half of the suit less bland; the design looked somewhat futuristic but kept a somewhat simplistic feel to it.

(A/N: Those of you who are struggling to picture how this suit looks, search up "spider man big time stealth suit" and just reverse the colours so it's green with black marks)

Finished taking in the looks of the suit Izuku slid the mask on over his face and looked towards Connor's giving him a thumbs up.

Seeing the thumbs up from Izuku, Doctor Connors let in the combat droids who immediately went after Izuku but failing as he was dodging and hitting them back with ease. Every swing the droids made got countered and then met with a strong hit to a pressure point that had Izuku's frustration behind it; the drones didn't even last ten minutes before they started to break apart piece by piece.

"Oh my… he's certainly under a lot of stress if he was able to break apart the drones with that much time" Shocked at the raw speed and power he was showing against the combat drones Doctor Connors looked at Izuku with complete intrigue as the final drone stood with its left arm gone and the right arm damaged.

As the drone charged forward it's arm began making sparks come out of the palm of its hand that made Izuku's eyes widened and his breath quicken.

Adrenaline began shooting through his veins as his mind forced up images of Bakugo into his head making his teeth grit together in rage as his fist clenched tighter.

For a brief moment Izuku lost himself as his mind went to black but when his mind cleared and he felt himself he was looking down at the combat drone which was trapped underneath him in pieces from how much damage he must've done.

"Finally, you stopped… you were wailing on that thing for couple minutes… I'm glad to see you're alright now" With what sounded like a complete sigh of relief Doctor Connors deactivated everything in the combat room so Izuku didn't have anything to set him off again.

"I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me…" Izuku apologized once more for the mess he made but had a small smile on his face as he finally felt relaxed.

No stress.

No worrying thoughts.

No nothing.

Izuku was finally free of his pent up stress and when he took off the mask Doctor Connors could see that from the smile on his face and just sighed as he walked up to the combat room's door and opened it up for him saying that he was glad to see Izuku smiling again. While Izuku couldn't help but laugh nervously at that comment before hitting the spider symbol on his chest with the palm of his hand making the suit loose again allowing him to take it off.

About to hand the spider suit back to Doctor Connors Izuku kept smiling but Connors didn't take the suit from his hands. Instead he just walked away and began going back to his research.

"Doctor Connors?" Questioning the OSCORP scientist's motives Izuku walked over to the side of the doctor.

"It's yours, you don't have to give it back" Connors stated not even looking away from his work.

"But I-"

"Just take the suit Izuku" Connors sighed out slightly but smiling at Izuku cluelessness of this whole situation.

"O-Okay, thanks Doctor Connors" Izuku thanked as his shoved the suit in his bag before leaping up the large hole in the ceiling.

"That boy is clueless… why would I give him a suit that would be pointless if he failed" Connors chuckled to himself as he kept the true factor of the exam to himself.

. . . . . .

One week went by after the day of the UA entrance exam and Izuku had fortunately forgotten all about what he did in the practical exam; yeah right, that lasted a couple hours until he got roughly twenty text messages from Uraraka apologizing for costing Izuku points in the exam.

Those messages, while making Izuku smile, made a small amount of his stress come back to him so the nightmares of the black orb kept haunting him and if he ever left his thoughts alone so they would wander he would go into a blank stare at anything he was facing or holding in his hands; which is what he was doing right now, staring blankly at a piece of fish from his dinner.

"Izuku? Izuku sweetie? Are you feeling alright?" Inko asked with concern in her voice as she looked at her dazed son.

"Huh?! S-Sorry... i'm fine mom don't worry…" Clearly startled by the question Izuku gave a half hearted smile as he quickly ate the rest of the food on his plate before sitting down on the couch staring blankly at the wall in front of him while he used a grip trainer for both of his hands.

'I've failed… I only just passed the written exam… and not much needs to be said on my practical performance...' Izuku thought to himself as he looked at his phone seeing that All Might still hadn't contacted him over the entire week he was near enough depressed.

The whole week was just a seesaw of emotions for Izuku as the nightmares and his thoughts would lead him down into a depressed state while Momo and Uraraka lifted his spirits through their text messages. While Izuku looked at his contacts he began thinking of what All Might now thought of him.

'Nothing for an entire week… he probably knows that I failed… how much I failed him… I don't even know what he saw in me to begin with. But i don't care, I did what I thought was right, I saved Ura-chan… that's all that matters-' Izuku's thoughts were cut off by the sound of loud approaching footsteps as his mother burst into the room holding what seemed to be an envelope while exclaiming "Izuku! Izuku! It's here! The letter, It's really here!".

No reaction.

Izuku knew he failed what was the point in getting excited if he had just screwed up his chances of getting in to UA and becoming a hero.

Setting aside the grip trainer Izuku, still with a completely blank expression, walked towards his mother thanking her before taking the letter from her hands and walked towards his room closing it behind him before sitting at his desk turning on the lamp and just stared at the letter that was between his hands.

"What's even the point… I know what it's going to say..." With a sad sigh and his grip tightening on the sides of the letter.

"It's just going to say I've failed!" Shouting in a fit of frustration mixed with sadness Izuku pulled on both sides of the letter ripping it in two as his face remained in a tearful but frustrated expression.

A loud clinking noise echoed through Izuku's head as he slowly looked down to see a small metal device landed on his desk with a small light blinking on it.

"What the-?" Not even able to finish his sentence the device shot up a beam of light that became a projection of-

"ALL MIGHT!?" Izuku shouted in disbelief as he fell backwards off his chair as the projection kept playing while Izuku's face went from that of disbelief and shock to one of depression.

"Pour salt into the wound why don't you…"

"THIS IS A PROJECTION!" The holographic All Might exclaimed as he looked directly at the camera before taking several steps back showing that he was on a set that looked almost like a game show.

"W-Wait what?! I thought this was from UA?!" Questioning why he was seeing All Might on a recording device from UA.

"Now you're probably thinking 'Why is All Might on this?' THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE! I AM IN TOWN TO TEACH THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEROES AT UA HIGH!" That explanation alone made Izuku go wide eyed as he now ignored the argument that went on between All Might and one of the cameramen telling him to get on with it.

The holographic All Might's went down a little bit as he turned to the camera now looking directly at Izuku.

"Midoriya… even if you just barely pass the written portion of the exam… only getting ten points in the practical… naturally results in failure."

Those words. Those very words that came from the mouth of his very idol shook Izuku hard, his stress hitting him back at full force as he lowered his head so his small curly fringe covered his eyes so he instinctively hid his eyes from the projection.

'I already knew it… I already knew…' Izuku thought as tears threatened to reveal themselves and his grip on his leg tightened almost drawing blood.

"BUT THAT'S NOT THE END OF THE STORY!" That loud statement caught Izuku's complete attention making him look up at the holographic All Might with tears down his face but a small glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"NOW THEN! WATCH THE SCREEN!" All Might exclaimed in a booming voice as he pulled a remote out of his jacket and pressed a button on it making the screen change to what seemed like security camera footage.

Izuku watched as he saw a glimpse of himself walking into the room where he revealed that he was Spider-Man. Only seconds after the door closed he saw Uraraka walk up to Present Mic.

"Ura-chan?" Izuku questioned as he remained quiet and watched.

"She came to us almost straight after the Exam" All Might explained as the video kept playing.

"Um… excuse me, but that boy you were just with… the boy with the curly hair and freckles. His name should be De- I mean Izuku Midoriya" Uraraka said with a nervous expression as she made hand gesture that looked like she was trying to show curly hair.

"C-Can you give him some of my points?!" Uraraka said with a blush on her face and a hint of pleading in her voice.

"W-What?..." Izuku questioned in complete shock as his face softened up but the tears that had seeped out earlier were now trying to force themselves out.

"At least give him enough to pass! Please, he saved my life!" Uraraka begged with a loud shout as her blush grew a little.

Completely lost for words Izuku could feel himself start to tremble as his mind started piecing everything together all the while All Might became the focus on the screen again and pointed at Izuku with a bigger than normal beaming smile.

"A hero course that rejects those who do the right thing, IS NO HERO COURSE AT ALL! See we didn't just focus on villain points… RESCUE POINTS WERE ALSO A FACTOR AND YOU YOUNG MIDORIYA, SCORED SIXTY SEVEN RESCUE POINTS!" All Might boomed out at the loudest Izuku had heard him while he just looked up in shock as happy tears began to fall.

"I… I never thought…that I'd…" Izuku tried to speak out but was cut off by All Might with his hand stretched out.

"You've made it Young Midoriya… THIS WILL BE YOUR HERO ACADEMIA!"

Those words were the words that Izuku needed to hear for the past week, the words he thought would never be said to him since he did the exam.

As the projection finished Izuku couldn't help but yell out at the top of his lungs in happiness.

"YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

His celebration was cut short though as Izuku heard his phone go off showing that All Might had just messaged him to meet at the beach… with his web filters.

Izuku didn't even give it a second thought as he began running around getting his vigilante hoodie, without realizing, as well as grabbing his web shooters and his vigilante web filter belt before coming out of his room seeing his mother with a smile as she heard his shout moments ago.

Izuku simply smiled back confirming her suspicion before running out of the building as fast as he could before strapping on his web shooters and leaping into the air and began swinging through the air without a single care in the world.

. . . . . .

All might stood on the beach looking out towards the ocean waiting for Izuku to show but when he heard the sound of a soft web splatter and the dragging sound of shoes scraping across the sand he turned around seeing Izuku crying ridiculously.

"ALL MIGHT!" Shouting in what sounded like a mixed sob Izuku ran up towards him but quickly covered his mouth as he realized All Might was in his deflated form.

"Don't worry kid, it's just us here" All Might laughed as he raised his hand up with a smile saying "Congrats on passing kid".

"Thanks… I was pretty sure I failed it" With a small nervous laugh Izuku gave All Might a high five before going into a small bow as if he was thanking All Might.

"Lift your head up kid, everything you did was all you, not me" All Might said as Izuku raised his head up but looked confused.

"But I told them I was Spider-Man… wouldn't that have meant I couldn't have been accepted into UA?" Izuku questioned as he thought he was disliked by most of the public.

"Normally yes… but Principal Nedzu must have taken a liking to you, he knows my predicament and contacted me afterwards saying that you were Spider-Man. I pretend to be surprised and he said to me…"

"You must admit All Might, the boy is good. He's already got combat experience against criminals and he's made an impact on this city that can't be ignored; plus he seems like a caring young boy."

Izuku couldn't help but be shocked at the fact that the very principal of UA high took a liking to him for all the work he's done as a vigilante. As he kept thinking about All Might and Nedzu, Izuku only just realized that he was told to bring his web filters and shooters and asked All Might why that was.

"Well the answer is simple kid…" All Might began as he took a few steps away from Izuku making him raise an eyebrow before going into his buff form and saying a single sentence that put Izuku into a state of shock.

"...WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT!"
