Hi…So I had this idea of Izuku being a quirkless water-breathing demon slayer but I didn't really find a good fanfic, so I decided to make one myself!
Dialogue- Narration or Conversation
Dialogue- Thoughts/objects/sometimes narration
DIALOGUE- ALL MIGHT BUFF FORM/ BAKUGOU/ SHOUTING
Anyways enjoy
Chapter 1 IZUKU MIDORIYA : ORIGIN
It was a pretty normal day for Izuku, if getting laughed at by your whole class, being chased by bullies, getting attacked by a villain and being saved by your idol a.k.a the No.1 Hero All Might was considered normal.
"Wait …being saved by All Might!"
"HEY..HEY..HE- OH, GLAD YOU'RE AWAKE, THOUGHT WE LOST YOU THERE."
"T-t-the No.1 Hero right in front of me, IN FLESH..oh my god HE LOOKS EVEN MORE COOL IN PERSON! I GOTTA GET A SIGN, WHERE'S MY NOTEBOOK"
…
"IT'S ALREADY SIGNED"
"Thank you All Might sir it willbeanheirloomiwilltresureitforever mumble mumble…." Izuku muttered..
"GOOD TO SEE YOU UP AND WALKING YOUNG MAN, NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME NOW I GOTTA HAND THIS VILLAIN TO THE POLICE!" All Might posed with two plastic bottles of the slime villain in them.
"W-wait , I want to a-ask you a question sir." Izuku requested
All Might proceeds to ignore Young Midoriya and got ready to jump.(I know this didn't happen in the canon but I forgot the actual lines and im lazy plus this makes it funnier)
All Might launches to the sky with Izuku hanging on his legs..wait what
"HEY HEY HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I ADORE FANTISM BUT THIS IS GOING TO FAR" he said while trying to get Izuku off his legs
"If I let go I'll die"….
"OH RIGHT, HOLD ON THEN"
He lands on top of a building. Izuku is stricken by this experience and tries hard to not throw up.
"Wait A-all might, I-I wanted to ask you something"
"NO, I WILL NOT WAIT"
"Please don't go, just answer this 1 question of mine..please"
"CAN A QUIRKLESS PERSON LIKE ME, BECOME A HERO LIKE YOU?" Izuku asked.
Izuku proceeds to mumble why he likes All Might so much and why he wants to be a hero just like him ignorant to the scene that beholds him.
Steam was erupting from All Might as he turned into a skinnier, shorter skeleton-looking man and hey Izuku finishes with his speech.
"Can I hope to become like yo-EHHHHHH" Izuku shouted as he stared at Toshinori Yagi a.k.a All Might .
"Who are you- an Impostor ? A FAKE?"
"Trust me, I am All Mi-BLEGH" he proceeds to spit blood from his mouth.
"Huh- Are you o-okay?"Izuku asks All Might
"ahem, about five years ago I got this scar from a villain fight" he shows a big crack-like scar under his oversized shirt.
"Five years ago? That time you fought Toxic Chainsaw?"
"Heh, you're well informed kid, but no that thug couldn't do something like this to me. The fight was with a really dangerous villain and it was not televised because of reasons. That's why it's a dangerous job being a hero . So I can't just tell you that you can be a hero without power. My answer is no my boy"
Izuku was utterly shattered, it was like the Gods themselves struck him with lightning.
"It's not a bad dream, but just make sure that they are realistic."
Without any other word, All Might left the building through the staircase while leaving Izuku on the roof alone.
"There you have it Izuku, even All Might said it. You knew this would happen..you knew- don't cry."
All his memories from his mom hugging him and denying his dream, Bakugo and his other classmates bullying him for being quirkless, countless occasions in his life he was tormented..and finally Bakugo's advice
"If you want a quirk so bad, swan dive off the roof and hope you'll get one in your next life"
Something in him clicked, its not like anyone is going to miss him except for his mom, and it's not like anything would happen if he were to disappear from this world.
He slowly moved forward with 1 hand holding the railing when a sudden explosion distracted him. It might be a villain. Right , thanks for getting him to his senses. He looks up to the notebook in his hand.

"It's not like I have a use for this now.." He proceeds to throw it off the roof and get down the building. He doesn't now what he should do anymore, any stream or job he would choose would deny him just because of his quirkless status. He could just work in a-
Izuku finally notices a big crowd and another big explosion .
"Huh must've walked here out of habit . The fight isn't over yet? What are the heroes doing ?"
He joins the crowd and almost gets a heart attack of what he saw. The slime villain who previously attacked him had taken another hostage.
"What happened, did he escape All Might? No wait..He must've dropped them trying to get rid of me! Wait..then it's my fault..my fault someone is trapped there.. it's my fault that they are being suffocated.. how are they even holding up-"
Izuku sees, his childhood friend-now bully Bakugo being trapped there ; his eyes asking for help…
…
"oh god OH GOD WHAT AM I DOING?!" Izuku wonders while running up to the slime villain holding Bakugo hostage.
After All Might saves the day again(I'm sorry but I'm too lazy to describe that whole scene)
Bakugo got praised by the heroes for holding up to the villain and having such a strong quirk while Izuku was scolded for acting like that.
After the scolding Izuku picked up his bag and began walking up to his home, only to be stopped by Bakugo.
"I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP YOU SHITTY NERD GOT IT ? I OWE YOU NOTHING AND STOP PRETENDING TO BE HERO ALREADY DEKU" he snarled..
"Kacchan…"Izuku muttered.
Bakugo left and Izuku continued walking towards his home only to be STOPPED AGAIN by All Might this time.
"I AM HERE"
"A-All Might..is he here to scold me too ? I don't think that I can take a scolding from him today..I'm really sorry All Might but.."
"YOUNG MAN, YOU WERE QUITE BRAVE TO STEP UP THERE, THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO THANK YOU PERSO- " All Might finally notices that he's talking to no one and Izuku is long gone.
"WELL HE HAS AMAZING SPEED FOR SOMEONE QUIRKLESS" He proceeds to shrink into his civilian form.
"Can't really blame him after today I guess , I'll have to ask Nezu to find him..didn't even get his name" He coughs out some blood.
…
"Well- huff- that was- huff- rude of me" Izuku stated to himself holding his knees.
"Excuse me but are you Midoriya Izuku ? " Asks a gentle voice
"Huh- um y-yes that's me." Izuku finally takes a look at the figure talking to him. It's a middle aged man with black-red hair combed back to expose a large scar on his forehead. He has bright red eyes.
"Ah good thing I found you, well you see I found this interesting notebook and thought that you must've dropped this." The man hands Izuku his Hero Analysis For The Future : 13
"umm.. do y-you really think It's i-interesting ? I've been made fun off b-because of this.."
"Interesting? Kid it's amazing! I haven't seen such good analysis on the internet. Hey , do you wanna be a hero? I'm sure you'll be great!" Izuku began to blush.
"Is someone really complimenting me? Oh right.. they don't know I'm quirkless."
"A-Ano , I'm quirkless , so I can't really be a hero."
"So what if you're quirkless? Anyone can be a hero if they train enough. I'm sure you know Erasure Head right? He doesn't have any advantage against mutant types, but he still wins! He basically fights quirkless."
Izuku's mind stopped. This man wasn't wrong, Eraserhead does use a weapon though, but he basically fights quirkless. Now he thinks about it , most of the underground heroes fight quirkless.
"Ne kid, why do you want to be a hero?" The gentle man asks
"I-I want to save everyone with a smile..just like All Might, I want to save anyone who's in danger."
The man smiles "Then Izuku Midoriya, I think You can be a hero."
Izuku's eyes widened and he drops to his knees; suddenly started crying. After all this time, the person who actually believes him and supports him is a stranger, but he's kind. He is reminded of all the people who rejected him , made fun of him , he'll show them all that he can be a hero. A hero who will save a lot of people.
"Now then, how about I train you kid?" the kind man asked.
"A-are you sure sir?" Izuku asks while rubbing his eyes.
"Of course! Now then come meet me at Dagobah Beach tomorrow 4 A.M." The man began to walk away after stating this.
"R-right. Oh and what's your name sir?"
The man stopped in his tracks. He then answers "Call me Tanjiro"
