Welcome to the world of quirks! Quirks are superpowers God created and shoved into humans, the dumbest creatures in existence!
You know what he was looking for that day; entertainment. Either that or he needed a way to bring the audience back to watch our dumbasses.
With the rise of quirks came the rise of villains and heroes! Villains are what you expect to see in a movie. Heroes are not. The word hero actually means a government job where people (preferably with more powerful quirks) protect civilians. Kind of. Honestly, the system is a mess, and we'll catch up on that later. I'm just giving you the run-down.
Back on the topic of quirks, they can range from something you see in a comic book, like super strength, to something straight-up bizarre like being the best twerker in the world. I can't exactly blame God as he has to come up with a lot of the bitches, but it is concerning what he does.
Most people have a quirk. Notice how I said most.
Deep breathe, Izuku.
SOME people are born without a quirk (quirkless), though that's rare nowadays. MOST of the quirkless are elderly people. Once again, take note of the word most. The main thing you need to know about quirkless people is that they are discriminated against. Quirkless are seen as weak-ass hoes that need to die.
That leads you up to me, your protagonist!
Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya, and I am a quirkless teenager! Imagine some broccoli hair, green eyes, and a scrawny body and you have me! I go to Aldera Junior school and plan to be a hero, which is next to impossible for a quirkless person, but oh well! I just want to help people because other heroes suck at it. I mean, I can help people in other ways, but I believe I can do the most as a hero.
That's everything you need to know for now. Time to start my story!
The teacher is blabbing on about something, but I really don't care about what it is. Therefore, I am doing the most logical action and taking a nap. If it was important, I would consider staying awake.
Most of the time, sleep still wins.
You might be thinking, "Hey, the teacher will call you out for sleeping and write you up and-" No.
The teachers do not care what I do because I am quirkless. Quirkless lack potential, so why should they work with someone without potential? Don't worry; I'll get my revenge one day! For now, it's sleepy time.
Or, it was supposed to be.
The teacher loudly exclaims, " However, I know that everyone wants to be a hero so why should I bother reading these?!"
Jesus fuck, that riles everyone up. I can hear screaming and quirks used all over the room.
Quirk note: Public quirk use is illegal unless in an emergency situation. Yes, they are breaking the law. While I am at it, think of the job Hero as a Youtuber job; Everyone wants to become one, but it's hard AF to do so.
The teacher quickly realizes his mistake, "I know, I know! You all have fantastic quirks, but please settle down!" Thank fuck because the brats will make me go deaf early.
Actually, that's not the worst thing to happen. Then I can't hear their bullshit!
The voice of the devil interrupts the fray, "These extras would be lucky if they end up in some busted-down agency, teach." Ugh, shut up already. Sigh.
Say hello to Bakugo Katsuki, or Kacchan to me out of pettiness as he is my ex-bestfriend! The best way to describe it is that a porcupine and a chihuahua had a baby and that baby is Kacchan. He has blonde spikey hair, red devil eyes, and a trash attitude. His quirk is Explosion; basically, he sweats nitroglycerin from his palms instead of sweat, thus BOOM BOOM!
Before you ask, yes. He does smell good. Doesn't cover his attitude problem, though.
Basically, Kacchan is the perfect example for someone that should be a hero apparently, and he does want to be one.
Look, I said everyone wanted to be a hero. I did not say that all heroes are necessarily good people.
The teacher clears his throat, "Ah, Bakugo, let's see...you want to go to UA, right?" That immediately brings gossip into the room because UA is hero school and bitch to get into. It's the top hero school for a reason. Top heroes graduate from there.
"Of course! That's where All Might went. If I want to beat him, I have to go there!" All Might is currently the number one hero in Japan. He is the Symbol of Peace. The reason the crime rate is so low in Japan compared to other countries is because of the presence of him.
Yeah, All Might that strong. Yet, he is a fucking mystery to me. Nobody knows him outside of hero work, which is fine but odd. Most heroes can't do that as they always have somebody stalking them. That would definitely be true All Might, but nothing has come up. He is either really good at hiding it, or he pays a lot to keep it hidden. Heck, we don't even know the real name of his quirk!
Either way, All Might is good, but he is not a favorite of mine.
Oops, I got off topic. I was trying to make the statement that Kacchan is never going to reach that's man power basically.
Now we can continue!
The teacher agrees and goes through more shuffling until, "It looks like Midoriya is aiming for UA as well."
. . .are you fucking with me, teach? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?! Well, you've been trying for a while so nevermind.
That has everyone in the room laughing because how the fuck is a quirkless kid supposed to be a hero?!
I'm not saying these thoughts, by the way. I'm just making sure you guys know what these brats are thinking.
However, the person to be somehow offended by my decision is Kacchan, "DEKU!" I don't even bother to move my head when he slams his hand down on my desk (my luck, he is in front of me) and starts exploding my desk, "WHAT KIND OF GAME ARE YOU TRYING TO GET AT?!" Deku means useless, by the way. It's another way of saying Izuku.
Does the teacher help? No. The teacher says, "Bakugo, the bell." Rude.
As much as I want to punch Kacchan in the face, I can't because I will get my ass in trouble. Can Kacchan explode me? Apparently! However, I can't punch him!
I don't even lift my head to tell the ass, "Something that doesn't involve you. Only school that considers letting quirkless kids in anyway, so go suck a dick."
That's a horrible time to saying that because the bell rings, and everyone is getting the fuck out. That leave us and two of Kacchan's trash slaves.
I straighten up, stand up, and get ready to leave when I feel a hand on my shoulder, "WE AREN'T DONE, DEKU!"
"Well, hurry up. I have a life outside of being your BDSM prostitute." That causes him to tighten his grip as he looks down at me, which is possible when almost every boy is taller than me.
"You are not trying out for UA! I'm the only one from this scumbag of a school that will get into UA! You won't even survive the entrance exam! Nobody quirkless was meant to survive, let alone someone as useless as you!"
"Bold of you to assume I care about surviving!" I say way too happily. Kacchan explodes my shoulder. Ouch. I don't have much of a reaction to it. He lets go and starts walking away.
Then, Kacchan stops and looks at me, "You know, there's a way for you to gain a quirk. Take a swan dive off a roof and hope you gain one in your next life!"
"Hold up, did you just suicide-bait me? Are you a fucking dumbass?! I can just write down what you told me, do it, and your entire life would be screwed! I could do it right now if I want to!" And I ain't wrong, either. The school roof is right above my head.
Kacchan doesn't seem to have much to say as he and his squad just leaves.
Dumbass.
I should just fake my death just to fuck him up. Then come back and be like, "Ha ha, bitches! I'm still alive!"
I grab my bag and start walking home.
That leaves me some time to start wondering: would the police actually do something if I did what I said I could do to Kacchan? Or would they ignore me and cover for Kacchan because I am quirkless?
Damn, that's sickening to think about! The system is fucked up if I am considering that I won't get justice!
Wait, why am I good? I should just become a villain at this point-
I am walking through a tunnel when gurgling from a sewer drain behind me. I turn around to see the ugliest-ass slime I have seen in my life come out. It (am I supposed to refer to it as a person?) looks around before noticing me.
Oh shit, it talks, "A medium-sized meat shield! Wish you were bigger, but you will work!"
Logically, I say, "Uh, what?" I barely get a chance to dodge the fucker, "WAIT, YOU WANT MY BODY?! WHAT ARE YOU, A PROSISTUTE?!"
Look; sometimes, saying the dumbest shit is the shit that's going to save your ass.
That causes Slimer to freeze, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Are you into tentacle porn? Actually, do you have a dick, a vagina, or both?" Now this is just curiosity. Worrying curiosity.
"What the hell is wrong with you, kid?"
"YOU WANNA BE MY THERAPIST?! I so very much appreciate it! I'm too broke to actually go to therapy, so I appreciate anyone willing to offer!" I plop down on the ground in front of it, "Alright, so it all started when I was first diagnosed quirkless-"
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, BUT I AIN'T GOING INSIDE YOUR DUMBASS BODY! I HAVE STANDARDS HIGHER THAN TRASH!" It growls as it...wiggles off...slimes off...how am I supposed to describe this? It speed crawls away from me, and I can't help but feel a little sad. My one time for therapy was cut-off. Sure, it was smell and probably illegal, but I was willing to take it.
No wonder mental problems exist in the world!
I get up, wipe the dirt off my ass, and prepare to leave when I am interrupted yet again.
"I AM HERE!" Oh, I recognize that phrase.
Suddenly, a huge figure appears in front of me. The number one hero All Might is in front of me, and damn he is tall. I go up to his waist just to give you an idea.
Hey now, 5'5'" (165 cm) is a decent height so stop laughing! Anyway.
If you know Superman, you already have a decent idea of how All Might looks. All Might has the same color scheme and body shape, but he definitely goes for the more American vibe.
Don't ask why when he is from Japan.
However, what he is most known for is his smile; no matter what danger he faces, he always has a smile on his face while screaming 'I am here' and practically destroys the hoes who dare fuck up. I guess his blonde hair that looks like rabbit ears could also be recognizable as well, but it is mostly his smile.
Though, it's the 'not looking like he fits in with world around him' for me. He has this comic book style, so you can't blame me there.
All Might looks down at my puny body and smiles wide, "Hello, young civilian! Have you happened to see a slime villain while walking through?!" Most people would die to have this man speak directly to them.
I don't, "He passed on through. I'm pretty sure he wanted to use my body for something, but after some chatting, he decided he didn't want to deal with me and left. He went that way." I signal the way he went.
"Thank you, young...?!" Well, not like he is going to remember it anyway.
"Midoriya."
"Thank you, young Midoriya! If you may excuse me, I have a villain to capture!" All Might does not let me say anything else as he disappears into the direction at top speeds.
Odd. It seemed like he was in a rush for something, and it is certainly not after the villain. Oh well. It's not my problem.
Or, I thought it wasn't.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Oh, the tea is nearby! Not like I have anything else to do with my life!
I approach the boom booms to find the most amazing yet sad sight in my life.
The amazing part of it is that it involves Kacchan and Slimer from earlier, and Kacchan is currently being choked by Slimer! KARMA, BITCH!
The reason the scene is sad is because Slimer created a huge-ass mess, and the heroes are doing nothing about it! They are just standing there! Like, I hate Kacchan. However, I don't want him to die.
At least, not until I get my revenge. We'll worry about that pettiness later. Right now, I have other shit to start; Slimer left our therapy session, after all!
Completely disregarding the barriers and heroes telling me to get out, I crawl over and approach the scene, "HEY, DUMBASS! YOU LEFT OUR THERAPY SESSION! YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING RUDE THAT IS?!" I really do genuinely believe I need that appointment.
Slimer (just realized that I officialized his name on accident. Oops) turns around and sees me, "What the hell are you doing, idiot?! I left for a reason!"
"BITCH, YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS?! PUT KACCHAN DOWN AND LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT!" I plop down in front of Slimer again, receiving so many questioning looks as I attempt to tell my life tale.
"GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BRAT!" It aims one of its slime arms at me to attack. Thank fuck Kacchan attacks me a lot because I have dodging abilities now! I roll out of the way and stand up.
"So mean!" I turn to the heroes, "Slimer has no hope. Knock him out. Aim for the eyes and mouth, dumbasses. They are more solid than your brains."
Finally, someone acts, "DO NOT WORRY FOR I AM HERE!" Suddenly, I feel what I presume All Might due to the catchphrase grab my wrist and pull me him, "DETROIT SMASH!"
Thank fuck All Might grabbed my wrist because I would have flew to fucking America otherwise! Slimer splatters everywhere, releasing Kacchan from the slimy hell. It makes a fricking mini-tornado
Impressively enough, All Might uses so much force that it rains!
As soon as All Might releases me, I zoom off because I am not dealing with the heroes' bullshit when they did nothing to help Kacchan in the first place. Thankfully, nobody follows me.
Well, media-wise.
"DEKU!"
I have the balls to say, "Irrelevant."
"I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP, NERD!"
I spin around and face Kacchan because I am tired of his shit, "And I don't need your attitude and you're here. Your point?" When did it become evening? Whatever, I'll figure that mystery out later.
Kacchan huffs, "Stay out of my way, Deku!" And stomps off like a goddamn child.
Am I done with people yet?
Nope!
"I AM HERE- ACK!" All Might slides in front of me, but he seems to be a little smokey.
Poof!
Smoke surrounds All Might completely for moment before it disappears to reveal a suspicious old man coughing up blood. Huh. No wonder nobody has any information on him; he looks like a suspicious old man instead of a hero all the time.
It might help to describe his look, huh?
Instead of the usual bulk muscle, the man before me is skinnier than me. His clothes hang off of his. His hair is flopped over instead of standing upright. Instead of that smile he usually has, he has an almond head with a depressed vibe. I kind of feel sorry for him.
You have to do a lot for me to feel sorry for you, so good job, man!
Either way, I believe my life is a goddamn show now.
Awkwardly, I offer one of my handkerchiefs to the man (I have a feeling he doesn't want me to call him All Might), "Should I call an ambulance?" Yes, the first logical line in this story so far. Took us long enough!
The man raises his hands while taking the offered item, "Thank you, Young Midoriya. However, I promise that this is normal." Hey, he remembered my name! Yes, my standards are that low!
"That is the saddest normal I have seen out of anyone. Do you even have a life in this form?"
The man chuckles sadly, "Kind of hard when I am always busy with something."
I cross my arms, "You really are reckless."
Yeah, that statement causes him to cough up more blood, "I-I'm aware, Young M-Midoriya! However, you can't say that you weren't reckless yourself either based on your earlier actions."
"I disturbed Slimer enough for it only to attack me."
"Slimer? Is that their name?"
"No, I just came up with it. Anyway, enough wasting time because I'm afraid you're about to fall over at any moment. What did you come after me for? Do I need to go to the police station or what?"
"No, no, no, none of that. This is more of a personal matter. Despite what you believe, your earlier actions did do something to help that boy. It encouraged me to move and help even if the circumstance was rather bizarre. As you may have noticed by now, I am not in the best shape due to an incident five years ago. My quirk has a time limit, and it keeps getting shorter with each day." I try to figure out the fight in mind because I do keep up with that shit, and all I can think about is the Toxic Chainsaw fight. However, I don't think the villain injured him that badly. Must have been a hidden fight.
"And you're going to share this with a child you just met?"
"Give me a moment to completely explain, my boy! The media describes my quirk as a strength quick, but that's not exactly the case. Very few people know about this, so keep it to yourself no matter what happens here today. The name of my quirk is One for All. It is a stock-piling quirk that builds up strength over time. However, there is a second part of my quirk, which brings me to my reason for you. The second ability allows me to pass my quirk from one user to another.
Your ability to walk out to the field and face a villain with no fear truly inspired me. You have a heroic spirit that can be manifested. Young Midoriya, will you take my quirk and become the next Symbol of Peace?"
.
.
.
"Do you have any idea how suspicious and dumb you sound right now?" This causes the man to freak out.
"I-I know this is sudden! If you need time to consider, I will let you-"
"Sir, whatever your name is as I'm sure you don't want me to use your hero name, I'm quirkless. Why me? You could pass this to another person with more experience and have them have two quirks instead of one." His facial expression only shows partial shock so that's something.
"Yagi Toshinori. As for why, gut instinct. Something is telling me to choose you, and I've been taught to follow it. You should also be aware that I was quirkless when I received the quirk, so being quirkless is not a big problem, especially when you are receiving one."
"But you think quirkless can't become a hero, huh?" Yagi gulps before nodding. I sigh, "That's a narrow point of view. If anything, I will need to rely on myself at the beginning to get used to my quirk. I have no idea what the consequences will be when I receive, let alone the goddamn burden you are giving me."
"I believe you can make it work, Young Midoriya. You have something in your eyes that shows determination that I think you are not even aware of."
"Yagi, you're an idiot-" That causes him to cough up more blood, "However, I'll take your offer. You're lucky I want to be a hero. Nobody else deserves the burden you're offering me. There's probably more to it that you're not telling me, but I'll work through it. Besides, I don't need other kids taking your drug to gain a quirk."
"It's not a drug, my boy!"
"Think it how you will. Now, I want to go home and rest. When and where you want to meet me for this?"
"Can you meet at the Takoba Municipal Beach Park early tomorrow morning?"
"The trash beach? Alright. See you later, idiot!" I exclaim as I start leaving.
Yagi, too innocent (apparently), brushes off the insult, "Good bye, Young Midoriya!"
That's how the start of my ten month hell started!
Actually, that's too simple.
That's how my hell of a life started!
