Here we are, chapter 10, baby! And we passed 900 followers as well! This week is shaping up to be super special awesome. This is the second chapter of filler. And as promised, it will be revealed who Izuku's partner will be. It will be pretty obvious by the end of the chapter, but I'll still spell it out for those who couldn't figure it out. Now, time for guest reviews.

You're right. BUT! I dragged it all the way to here, so it as worth it in the end, right?

typical guest
That's just a silly idea. Izuku doesn't need to mimic powers, he already has all he needs.

Guest
Thank you. I do try.

Well, in this story, Izuku and Ochako hadn't met until their first day of school. Iida was the one who saved her from the root, and so she spends most of her time with him. Honestly, I think it is going quite nicely. But, the difference of opinions and all that.

CrimsonStarBlade
I truly would not know how that will play out, too far into the future. As far as the Big Three go...

Blitzkrieg
Thank you. hope this one cracks you up as well.

Gundamfreedom0
I appreciate your patience. Here you go.

If you want that pairing, just watch canon.

That does it for guest reviews. I love to hear your thoughts and hope to hear many more. Also.

I OWN NOTHING! I'M BUT A HOBO THAT SNEAKS INTO THE LIBRARY AND WAISTS TIME WRITING THIS INSTEAD OF WATCHING PORN!

This chapter was Beta-read by Frostburn77. Thank you for your work.

Izuku was strolling down the road towards the entrance to U.A, immersed in his own thoughts. He was rarely able to test his own strength against an opponent like Nomu. And even then, he was only able to push him to second-tier strength. So far he was only using the first tier, he did not want to kill anyone. Nomu's explosion was a mistake on his part, too much speed, which resulted in too much force. He experimented on his own before. But it wasn't enough. He needed more data. Could students reserve training fields?

He entered the classroom, one of the early ones again, but this time only Yaoyorozu was there to greet him.

"Good morning, Midoriya. I trust you recovered from the whole USJ ordeal."

"I did, thank you."

"I can't help but wonder, why you did not join us at our little get together at the mall. Mina, Toru, and Iida have all sent you invites. Do you not enjoy spending time with our classmates?" Silence followed her question. When she was about to give up on receiving an answer, she heard him say:

"I don't have time for it."

"Excuse me?"

"I am aiming to become the world's greatest hero. I have no time for pleasantries or get-togethers. My life, ever since I was four years old, has been dedicated to this goal."

Momo thought about what he said. Sure, she had dedicated a lot of her time towards her hero studies, but Izuku had taken his to the next level.

"One more question, if you don't mind. I asked you on the first day, but you got called in before you could answer. What is your quirk?" To Momo, this question held great importance, and the look Midoriya gave her, wasn't his usual blank (his face was though.) It was the look as if he was about to entrust her with a great secret, a look that-

"I don't have one." Wait, what? Did she imagine all of that? He didn't look any different. Momo turned around and sat back down, while Izuku was mentally smashing his head against a mental brick wall, for being so stupid. He was overthinking. And when he was overthinking, he operated on auto-pilot. That did not have a 'lie' setting. Not like he just shared reality-shattering information or anything like that.

The class slowly filled in, and everyone greeted back Kaminari and Tokoyami, who had it worst during the USJ. Thanks to the efforts of Recovery Girl, they were as good as new. After greeting everyone, they surprised the class by stepping in front of Midoriya's table and bowing to him.

"We truly had no safe way to get out of that hell. Heh, hell." Tokoyami smacked his friend.

"Ouch. Right. We thank you for saving us. We would have been toast -ouch- if it weren't for you. Thank you." Izuku stood up and urged them to stand up, a rare showcase of emotion on his face, discomfort.

"There is no need to bow. It was nothing really, anyone would have done the same."

"Yea! Stop bowing to shitty nerd!" Interfered Bakugo, and immediately received a harsh reprimand from Tenya, not that he cared. At that moment Aizawa entered, looking right as rain.

"First I must commend you as well. You kept a level head and dealt with the unfortunate situation you were placed in. Even if some of you had to be saved, take this as a lesson, and think about how you can improve." Then he actually smiled, which shocked the students.

"Good job everyone." After a brief silence, the students cheered. It was rare for Aizawa to smile AND commend them at the same time. But the pro hero wasn't done.

"BUT! It is not over." The students tensed in silence. What could it be? A test? More villains? Or maybe-

"The U.A sports festival is in two weeks."

"THAT'S A TOTALLY NORMAL THING!" Yelled the students and they soon began to excitedly chatter amongst themselves. Until Jiro lifted her arm.

"Is it alright to hold such an event so soon after a villain attack?" Aizawa took a second to answer,

"U.A sports festival is to Japan like what the Olympics were to the entire world. But because of the closed borders and status of secrecy that most countries swore to, there has been no effort to revive the event. So the sports festival is the next best thing. It is important to not show weakness or admit defeat by canceling an event of this magnitude. The security will be heavily increased though, as many pro heroes were called in to assist the staff." His answer seemed to satisfy the students, and the chatter returned full force. But sensei wasn't done.

"As a reward for your bravery, the principal and I organized a little trip across some of the famous hero agencies nearby." The class cheered in glee and before Izuku could start muttering about every hero in a 10-mile radius, he felt a chill creep up his spine. he looked up and found himself staring into the red eyes of his teacher.

"Of course, while we tour the agencies, the vice-president will stay here and write a five-page-long report about the USJ. In the said report, he will take care to pay special attention to emphasize the importance of listening to teachers and following their lead." The whole class wanted to protest and Izuku silenced them all, simply saying he would do it.

Cementoss watched with astonishment, as Izuku wrote 5 pages in 20 minutes, most of which was spent chewing on the pencil. After he read through the report, he gave Izuku a nod and told him to have fun with the rest of the day. Seeing as it was time for lunch and he wasn't feeling like going home yet, he walked to the cafeteria.

At lunch Izuku decided he could not wait any longer and went with ramen, enjoying the silky noodles and flavorful broth. The pork belly was cooked to perfection and the eggs were just right. Life truly was great. And the Universe looked and saw that it was good. And the Universe can go fuck itself. A foreboding shadow fell upon our green-haired cinnamon roll.

"Hi, I'm Nejire Hado! So good to finally meet you, Izuku Midoriya." Nejire was quite well recognized inside of the U.A, she expected at least some sort of recognition from her underclassman. But Izuku was Izuku.

"Do we know each other?" Many would expect Nejire to fall on the ground, anime style. But no. Instead, she flew up, did a loop, and stopped right in front of Izuku, a pout forming on her face

"Do you seriously not remember me? We meet like, less than a week ago!" Izuku gained a thoughtful look. No one has ever seen him think hard about anything. He was Izuku, smartest guy in class, on par with Momo, even surpassing her occasionally!

"Less than a week ago? Let's see, that was around the time mentalmutter mentalmuttermentalmutter. Mentalmutter? Mentalmutter, mentalmutter..." Nejire was... uncomfortable.

"Is he aware he's saying that out loud?" She asked some random bypasser, who confirmed her ears weren't deceiving her. Meanwhile, Nejire was still pouting, waiting for Izuku to stop. After another minute she had enough. She reached with her arm to tap on his shoulder when an overwhelming amount of killing intent washed over her. If she touched the boy, she'll die. But, Nejire was the third year U.A student, an apprentice of Ryukyu, one of the top 10 famous heroes in all of Japan. So she took a deep breath and shook Izuku's shoulder, snapping him out of his muttering.

The confused greenette looked around, before pointing towards Nejire, who looked satisfied that he finally recognized her.

"You were the one stalking me on Thursday morning!" After another quick loop, Nejire was pouting more than before.

"That's all you remember about me? Do you have some sort of amnesia? Is it connected to your quirk? Do you give up mental capacity to achieve such a strength?"

"She didn't even deny the stalking!" panicked Izuku. How does one deal with something like that?

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you remember me or not, what matters is that I have chosen you as the next intern for Ryukyu." Izuku blinked at her. Then he broke one of his personal rules. Never display confusion or surprise. Or both.

"WHAT?!"

"Why did YOU choose me? And why did you choose ME?" Nejire looked at Izuku and after a brief explanation, he understood.

Izuku was looking at Nejire, his face blanking, which displeased her.

"So... Why did you choose me?"

"Ryukyu said she wanted a boy this year."

"There's 14 of us in 1.A alone."

"I like green."

"THAT'S SO SHALLOW!" he yelled. He was beginning to hate how this girl made him feel.

"Also, you did not answer my questions about your quirk. Is it super strength? It's a lot like All Mights. Are you related? How so? Is he your father? Uncle? Grandpa? And have you-"

"ENOUGH! Shorten it down to 20 words or less!" Izuku was about to make a run for it when he got an idea. When he asked Aizawa if students could reserve a training field, he was told that freshmen needed their teacher's permission. It is safe to say, Aizawa did not give him one. But With Hado-senpai... he quickly checked back into reality.

"-and that is why it is absolutely impossible for me to just shorten my questions to 20 words or less." She stared at Izuku's blank face.

"You weren't listening, where you."

"Nope." She sighed. This kid was hopeless. Thankfully for her (and unfortunately for Izuku), it wasn't in her nature to give up. Alas, before she could go on another tangent, she was interrupted.

"How about we make a deal?"

"I'm listening."

"You get me a training field, and I'll answer any of your questions."

"Done." Izuku quirked his eyebrow.

"Don't you need to fill out a form?"

"Nope. The Big Three have a training field that is always available to us." Izuku whistled in admiration. He needed a spot ASAP.

"Alright, lead the way, Hado-senpai.

"Follow me, my cute kouhai!"

"Never call me that." Izuku wasn't amused by her antics.

"How about cinnamon roll?"

"Kohai it is, let's go."

THE TRAINING FIELD

"So, let's start with a simple question. What is your quirk?" asked Nejire, as she observed the cinnamon roll doing stretches in his costume.

"Yes, me likes."

Izuku briefly considered lying but decided that it did not matter anymore. He'd be surprised if the whole class did not know by now. So he decided to be honest.

"I don't have one."

"Oh ok then, how- Wait. WHAT!?" Izuku winced. Her voice could be really high.

"I was diagnosed as quirkless at the age of 4."

"Sorry." Nejire knew their society was less than perfect. And she knew full well how many people who were part of the 20% ended up. Most these days were older people that were already used to it, and the young, who were still trying to persist in the world that was against them.

"But then how..." she gestured to him.

Izuku first finished with squats before taking on a thinking pose.

"I have no idea. I have been trying to take on an active lifestyle ever since I realized that no one will help me achieve my dreams. Playing outside, running and such. After I turned 11, I started actively exercising. Had a really strict regime and just stuck to it. After a year and a half, I discovered I was much stronger, and that is it."

"There is no way that is it!" Nejire felt like he was insulting her intelligence.

"I'm sorry, but that's how it was. No experiments, no life-changing, miracle quirk awakening. One day I woke up strong and that was it. This ain't a battle Shonen, you know?" Finished with his stretching, he turned towards the older student.

"Do you have your phone on you?" She showed him her device and looked back at Izuku.

"Great. Time me. The length of the field is about 750m. Let's see how long it takes me to get to here and back with this. He took a classik 'high start' running position.
"Sure-kill move: Speed O' Sound Sonic!"

Nejire was gobsmacked. She had just watched someone casually shatter the sound barrier. Luckily they were far away from any buildings, otherwise, Nezu would have their heads. But before she had time to continue that though, Izuku was back already.

"How long?"

"Four seconds."

"Good. My math was correct it seems." He then looked at the ground.

"Step away. I have a crazy idea. Or even better, fly up. This might get a little... shaky." Nejire took his advice and flew up good 10 meters high. She could still see Izuku clearly, as he delved deep into his thoughts. Then he took a stance as if he was gonna punch the ground and yelled:

"Impro Sure-kill move: Mediocre Punch!" With that, he punched the ground. And the results certainly were... Shaky.

The ground shook, a cloud of dust picked up, and Nejire was almost blown away. She desperately tried to pierce the dust cloud with her gaze, but when it finally cleared out, instead of Izuku standing there, he was standing in the middle of a crater. From her view, it looked to be about 55 meters wide and 15 meters deep. She had expected Izuku to be as shocked as her. Soon she would learn that normal expectations just did not apply to the greenette.

PRINCIPALS OFFICE

"So young Yaoyorozu asked him about his quirk and he told her that he did not have one," said Nezu as he was serving a cup of tea to his visitor.

"We truly must address this issue with young Midoriya." Said a skinny All Might, taking a sip out of the offered cup.

"We still have two weeks before the sports festival and before this becomes a problem. Rather, I would like to talk to you about your successor." Nezu gave All Might 'the look'.

"Young Togata has shown incredible... eagerness to inherit the quirk. Seeing as he was prepared and had a suitable body, I saw no reason to hesitate. He is now officially the ninth holder of One for All." All Might looked kind of proud. Of himself or his successor, Nezu couldn't say for sure

.

"Well, if that's no longer an issue then-" he was interrupted. By an earthquake.

"What in the name of-" All Might's curse was interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. Nezu looked at the caller's ID and if it was at all possible, paled a little. After a moment, he answered.

"Ah, yes, miss Hado. You couldn't possibly know the cause of this sudden earthquake, would you?" His voice was full of hope. Hope that was currently being violently stabbed 37 times in the chest.

"Yes, I will come to the training field at once." He hung up and looked towards his employee, who was already entering his muscle form.

"We are needed outside, I'm afraid. Something with young Midoriya. To the Nezu-mobile!"

"There is no such thing! Right?" His question went unanswered.

He was standing in the middle of a crater he created himself, fervently writing into his notebook, muttering up a storm. She had half a mind to fly down there and smack him upside the head, but before she could, she saw a car rapidly approaching, with All Might running behind the said vehicle. Finally, reinforcements have arrived.

"I AM HERE! To see what happened!" All Might struck a pose. Nejire landed on the ground to explain.

"I was curious about his strength, so we decided to test it out. He shouted: Improvised murder: Medium bad punch! and the next thing this crater happened." Satisfied with her explanation, the no.1 hero turned towards the younger student.

"Is that true, young Midoriya?" Hearing someone say his name, the student in question finally looked up from his notebook, only to gaze into the eyes of his ex-idol.

"What are you doing here?" he asked casually.

"Well... I am here for a very good reason. It would seem that YOU were the cause of an earthquake and are currently standing in a huge crater that YOU created on school property," said Nezu with a smile that promised PAIN.

"But don't worry, young Midoriya. If I'm guessing right, your warden for your punishment is already well on her way."

"Well-" Izuku thought "-at least she can't be worse than Hado-senpai."

Izuku was terribly wrong. So terribly, terribly wrong.

"Next!" Came a yell from behind a mountain of smashed electronics and various robotic pieces. A new robot dropped down in front of him. Izuku lazily punched the thing back to the raw iron. He had been doing that for about... 4 hours now. And while his body did not feel exhausted, his mind did. Aizawa came by about an hour into his task, to tell him the report he wrote was satisfying, and to goad at his situation. Lazy bastard.

"Huh. I really had high expectations for this one. Next!" Mei Hatsume. The Bane of his existence. Not a minute after Nezu told him she was coming, she jumped into the crater and started measuring it. Then she asked who created it and how. After everyone pointed at him (bloody traitors) she dragged him into her workshop, talking about making babies. Izuku has never been more afraid for his chastity, not even when Midnight strolled into the boy's locker by "mistake".

Izuku just sighed and cocked his fist back. He really needed to blink. But his eyes felt so good when he closed them. Maybe just a second longer... Hatsume was writing down every baby Izuku destroyed, thinking of possible solutions when she heard something she wanted to hear all day. Well, at least for as long as Izuku was here. A dull thud of flesh against steel, NOT followed by an explosion.

"YES! YES! I FOUND IT! The baby that can withstand anything!" She rushed around the pile of broken 'babies' only to find Midoriya, sleeping while standing up, his fist buried deep within the robot, but still not at all bothering him. She just sighed to herself.

"Wrong again. Alright, Back to the drawing desk with it." She sat behind the aforementioned drawing desk, making new blueprints, completely forgetting about Midoriya until a few hours later. Maybe more than a few. Maybe a lot. Lots and lots of hours.

How was that? Another chapter of filler over and done with. Just one more to go, before we get to the good stuff. Oh, and for those three who haven't figured out who izuku's partner will be (looking at you, Michael) IT IS NEJIRE HADO! Capish? Good, since that is not up for discussion. I7m not changing it, I'm sticking to my guns and so on. 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!

P.S Here's a little bonus for the tenth chapter celebration. And a reminder, THESE AREN'T CANON. Enjoy, my peeps.

OMAKE: STOCK MIGHT (idea by: so many people, I can't remember for the life of me)

All Might was all set in his little observation deck, as he called it. He had been spying on young Midoriya for the last three days, waiting for an opportunity to meet him again. He couldn't just pop out of nowhere, that would be ridiculous.

But now you're probably wondering, just why was he doing this. Well, All Might wants a perfect successor. And now he found it. And he will not take no for an answer. Midoriya WILL inherit his power.

Midoriya had a nagging feeling in his head, that he was being watched. In the restaurant. At the movies. Even in the sewers (don't ask). But every time he turned around, there was nothing out of ordinary.

All Might commended himself for his brilliant idea. Every time Midoriya would turn around, he jumped super high. But his future successor was being too careful. He needed a new plan.

Izuku was just having a nice day at the park. He just opened his water bottle, when a huge figure swiped his backpack. He set the water bottle down on the table and rushed after the intruder that was nowhere to be seen, his backpack leaning against a tree, barely 20 meters away. He grabbed his backpack and returned to his bench, where everything was in order. He reached for the bottle, ready to gulp it down. Who knew there would be such a hot day today.

All Might commended himself again. By burying a strong heater under the bench the day before, Midoriya was now thirsty enough to gulp down the water bottle, in which he deposited some of his DNA. Not the best way, but hey, go with the flow.

Midoriya gulped down the bottle of water, that tasted… off for some reason. And that reason soon got stuck between his teeth.
"How could a hair got into my water bottle he asked himself, then shrugged, and threw both, the bottle and the hair in the trash can. All Might meanwhile was happily on his way, thinking he passed down One for All. Later that week reports of an insanely strong squirrel began appearing all over the newspapers.
