As a child, Izuku decided it would be better if he were Quirkless than to have a power that scared everyone. Now a teenager and looking to enter U.A, he finds himself as the protege of All Might and a student of the best heroes in the nation- but there's no running from a part of you, and he's learning the hard way that you have to accept all of yourself to be a real hero.

Izuku has wanted to be a hero his whole life but has been told it's hopeless without a quirk. Fed up with society's discriminations, Izuku is determined to become Japan's first quirkless hero, even if that means taking the long way around. AU.
