Izuku sighed as he laid in his bed. It was the day after the USJ attack. School gave them a free Friday, so they had time to recuperate. Izuku did not like it. It was days like this, the ones with nothing to do, that he regretted stopping his training. suddenly heard his phone buzz and checked the device seeing a message from an unknown number, he opened his phone and looked at it curiously.

Hey, Izuku :3 This is Mina!

A bunch of us are hanging out at the mall today. I was wondering if you would like to join us? I would have asked you yesterday, but you kinda left in a rush, heh. Anyway, please answer back, your number was super hard to get!

Who gave her his number? He never gave it out to anyone, only his mother knew it. Did she give it to them? No, she knew better than to just give out his number like that. Then how in the world...? His train of thought was interrupted by another buzz.

Hi, Izuku! It's Toru!

Thank you again for saving us yesterday! I heard that there is going to be a big get together at the mall today and I was just wondering if you'd like to come with us! Please, answer soon!

Okay, this was not okay. Where did they all get his number? Another buzz.

Greetings, Midoriya!

I light of yesterday's events, Ashido-san organized a trip to the mall. Uraraka was insistent to invite you to come along. Not that I disagree with her. It would be highly beneficial. Please respond.

Tenya Iida.

Who sends texts like that? Where is this mall they all keep mentioning? AND HOW DID THEY ALL GET HIS NUMBER?! Another buzz. This was getting ridiculous.

OI, SHITTY NERD! Tell the extras to stop bugging me for your number! Either give it to them or tell them to fuck off. I don't know when, but at one point Auntie Inko gave it to the old hag.

Ok, so that explains a lot actually. So Katsuki gave them his number. But why did they all feel the need to invite him along? He saved them, end of the story. It couldn't be because they actually wanted to be his friends? No that wasn't it, no one wanted to be his friend. And it wasn't like he needed any friends, he had survived this far without any. With a sigh, Izuku decided to climb out of bed. It was time to get up anyway. He still had some duties to perform. Like cleaning the house. And cooking. And... No, that was it.


Many of the members of class 1.A gathered in the center of the mall. Among them Mina, Kaminari, Eijiro, Kyoka and even Momo. They were later joined by Uraraka and Tenya, followed by Hagakure. They waited for a few more minutes, but the last one to arrive was Tsu. Mina asked first what most had on their minds.

"Is Izuku not coming?" Many looked disappointed (including Toru). Iida was sad to see Uraraka one of them. He had to go through a lot of trouble to secure his phone number, not to mention listening to Bakugo chew him out. He kept his mouth shut, but boy, was it hard.

"Bakugo is not coming either," said Kirishima. After seeing their questioning glances, he struck a pose and said, without shame:

"When we battled that hand villain and that warp guy, he was super manly, so I asked for his number yesterday. He gave it to me, saying that if I dare to call him too early or too late, he's gonna blow up my phone. So manly. Anyway, I invited him, and he just responded with: Fuck you, I've got other things to do." Kirishima then turned around and saw that absolutely no one was paying attention. Everyone just went back to talking about Izuku.

"Maybe he is still recuperating. He did do a lot yesterday. Fighting that monster couldn't have been an easy task." Iida said with his expressive hand gestures, hoping to cheer them up.

"Y-yea. that must be it. Plus we can ask him on Monday." said Hagakure, back in her cheerful voice.

"Let us have a fun day. I have never been to a mall that small before. I'm excited to see how other people shop!" An eager Yaoyorozu said, with the others noticing how she just innocently rubbed her riches (monetary, you perverts) into their face. Regardless, they cheered with her and headed out, eager to see what the mall had in store for them.


Bakugo was not having a fun day. He had just gotten out of a shouting match with his mom (which he lost) about why he has been stuck in his room all day, strange for the usually proactive teenager. Not that she was wrong. But he had to think. He had a lot on his mind. He recalled how Deku behaved over the last two years. One day one of his lackeys saw Deku jogging in the park. The next day, Bakugo confronted the nerd, asking him why he was exercising. He was useless, why would he bother to stay in shape? The answer he got was unsurprising in the least. A bit of stammering, silence and perhaps a tear. When he beat him up that day, he went down harder than normal. Katsuki thought nothing of it.

But after a few months, Izuku changed. he was running faster, jumping further and higher. He even showed one of his extras away when he attacked him. Katsuki hadn't bothered, he could easily catch him when he came to school. And for a few weeks that worked. He would catch Deku before or after school and rough him up. But, now that he thought about it, Deku slowly lost his stutter, as he gained muscle. Others did not notice, he did, with how many times he handled him (that one was intentional). His eyes and face slowly became silent, and he muttered less frequently. His grades haven't changed, he was always his equal in academics, shitty nerd.

Eventually, he couldn't be caught leaving or entering the school, yet he was always in class before him, either writing in his notebook or checking his many news apps. Bakugo sat up as he thought harder. Whether he liked it or not, Deku was stronger, faster, and potentially smarter than him. That needed to be fixed. and Bakugo knew how.

"Yo, old hag, I'm going out."

"Take a jacket, it's cold. Annoying brat." Mitsuki Bakugo loved her son to death, but he did inherit her personality, Sadly.


Izuku just finished cleaning the living room, when he heard the doorbell.

"Oh god, did Bakugo also give them my address? Please no, please no, please no." He opened the door and got a shock of his life to see, standing on his doormat, the explosive teen himself. Izuku's face sifted from his blank to surprised. This caused Bakugo to smirk a little.

"Nice to see your face still works, nerd. But I'm not here because I would be worried about you like the rest of those extras are. Tell me honestly, that birdbrain wasn't even a challenge." Izuku thought about it a little bit and then spoke.

"It was strong, comparing to you, or even Aizawa. But All Might could have defeated it all on his own, without help."

"So, what does that say about you, Deku? How did you get this quirk?" Izuku's face fell. He reached into his backpack behind the door and pulled out a folder. He passed it to Bakugo. he explosive teen took the folder and opened it. It was a medical exam, dated about 1 month ago. In it, it was confirmed. Izuku Midoriya was 100% quirkless. No quirk whatsoever. And it was signed by Recovery Girl herself.

"But then how-"

"I don't know myself. About two years ago I noticed it when a piece of debris fell on me in a hero battle. I thought I was done for. It hurt, but otherwise, I was alright. The next day I visited the abandoned warehouse we found as children, and there I tested out my powers. Remember that steel beam you practiced your explosions on? I was able to lift it, easily. Today, I can swing it around like a meal bat."
"Show me."
"I'm sorry?"
"Show me just how strong you are. I won't believe until I see." Izuku knew that his childhood classmate wasn't gonna let this go, so he just sighed, grabbed his keys and jacket, and then leading the way.


The mall was awesome. Everybody shopped and tried and looked to their heart's content. After that, they proceeded to demolish the food court, courtesy of their awesome Yaomomo, as they proceeded to call her. Tenya took some of the bill on himself as well but kept quiet about it. Gradually, the group dispersed and went home until only Toru, Mina, Uraraka, and Iida were left.

"Mmm, today was fun!" Exclaimed Mina as she ate the last of her ice cream.

"Yea. Too bad Izuku couldn't be here," said Uraraka. Mina smiled devilishly.

"Oh, you're on a first name basis already? Is there something you're not telling us?" Ochako blushed slightly, and Iida... He looked constipated. Like, more than usual.

"W-well, you're also calling him by the first name! M-maybe there's something YOU'RE not telling us!" Ochako looked satisfied with her comeback. Mina and Toru shared a look (at least Mina hoped they did).

"He gave us permission to yesterday. I'm not sure he gave one to you as well." Mina gave her a sly smirk. Uraraka sighed and looked at her own ice cream.

"It's just... He never shows any emotion. He always wears this blank face. I want to change that." Mina thought for a moment. Now that she thought about it, Izuku never showed ANY emotion.

"You might be onto something, Ochako," said Toru, bringing a hand to her chin and stroking it thoughtfully, as if she had a beard.

"Girls, we need to make a plan. A plan to make Izuku smile!" proclaimed Mina, and both agreed. Meanwhile, Iida was off to the side, definitely NOT thinking about how cute Ochako looked while determined. Nope, not at all.


Nezu and Aizawa were not having fun (I'm noticing a theme here). Shortly after all students were safe back at home, they announced a press conference for the next day. They had to, before the press tore into them. Luckily there wasn't any trouble. Most questions were about well being of students. Most annoying questions were the ones that tried to make them say that students used excessive force. But Nezu was caught off guard by one particular question.

"We received an anonymous tip, that the monster police saw, Nomu, was beaten by a student. But why did it resulted in that? Shouldn't the teachers take care of such a dangerous task?" Nezu wasn't sure what to answer. This was supposed to be top secret! Naomasa swore his men were reliable! But before he could collect himself, Aizawa spoke.

"I was one of the teachers present at the attack. I was injured and not in a condition where I could fight something like that. I made a judgment call, and I judged the student in question to be strong and prepared enough to combat the so-called Nomu. My judgment turned out to be correct, as the student did not receive any injuries." The cameras paid attention to his every word. Once he had finished speaking, another reporter raised their hand.

"Could you tell us what quirk does the aforementioned student have?" Nezu quickly responded, now collected and calm again.

"I am sorry, but that belongs under the U.A privacy policy, and as such we are not permitted to disclose such information. Any other questions?" A thick veil of silence permeated the room.

"If that is all, then I shall call this press conference closed. Good night, everyone." The press slowly packed up and left, and both Nezu and Aizawa took a breath of relief.

"We need to discuss how Midoriya wants to deal with his quirk issue. That information is practically public knowledge, and after the sports festival, everyone will know his name." The principal nodded but remained quiet. He had an awkward phone call to make. He hated doubting the police force, but it had to be done. Next thing, it will leak that the monster actually survived and was studied in the stop secret U.A facility!


Izuku got up at 6:30, just like every morning. He quickly showered, got dressed, and ate two bananas for breakfast. His mom already left, the note said she'll be back in the evening. He decided to look at the newspapers. His mother had a subscription to all the major newspapers in Japan. Of course, barely anyone read newspapers anymore. Most used their smart devices to look at the news. But sometimes it just felt good to sit down, and look at the news the old fashion way, cup of mud and paper in hand. And while Izuku did not drink coffee, he could still enjoy the second part. And then the universe bitch slapped him in the face.

WHO IS THE NEW ALL MIGHT?!

That was the headline. Underneath was a picture of Nomu, and a picture of their class from the USJ accident. If he had that cup of Joe, he would be doing a spit take. He quickly switched to the page with details and read the part talking about it.

After receiving an anonymous tip, we got our confirmation of it from homeroom teacher of class 1.A itself, underground pro-hero, Eraserhead. He stated that it was his decision to allow the student to combat the monster and that the said student emerged from the fight unscratched.

Izuku… did not know what to think. While he would like to be pissed at his teacher, reading about the whole conference, he learned that they clearly did not have a choice. It was either take the blame or throw the vultures a bone to chew on (I know, birds don't chew.) Now everyone will be watching the sports festival, speculating who in 1.A was strong enough to go defeat Nomu. Hearing someone had the strength to beat such a monster, the pros, and the press will be watching with extreme care. Pros for the opportunity to raise and train the so-called 'next All Might' (FYI he did not appreciate the comparison) and the press to tear him/her apart before they could learn to fend them off. He looked at the clock. It read 6.54am. Not even seven in the morning and the whole day is already gone to shit. (You could even say he was not having a fun day! XD)


Well, there you have it. The first chapter of filler. How was it? I promise the next chapters will be more interesting. With a lot more going on. And of course, WE FIND OUT WHO IZUKU'S SHIP FOR THIS STORY IS... NEXT WEEK! I know I've been fueling up the hype train for a long while. But I ask you humbly, give it one more week. ANd then, it will be revealed. Can you do that for me? Please? Thank you. Alright, I think that's about it. READ. REVIEW. Let me know what YOU think, and we'll read each other next time. NPGamer out.

PEACE!
