I do not own boku no hero academia/my hero academia

2 more reviews wow and a bunch of follows! thank you i hope i do this fic idea justice. but i am writing for myself so if you don't like it, please go ahead and make a spin on it yourself!

to Sarah9730, hahaha i doubt i'll be doing the trip but more than likely she'll still be in Izuku's friend group. but i am more than definitely having different people in his group(and a bigger group than like 3), i might drop Iida from it though.

to Drkprince, the freak out was more into the fact that he SPOILERS dies and he now has a chance to change that. like right now Eri is more than likely suffering and there isn't anything he can do about it but focus on what he needs to do. Hope i cleared that up!

now onto the chapter!

I half expected to wake up the next day and it all be a dream, but as the first thing i see upon opening my eyes is a poster of All Might staring right at me, i'm gonna take a wild guess and say no.

Turning off an obnoxious alarm i get out of bed and get ready to face the music. teeth and body cleaned, dumping the contents my whole wardrobe onto the floor looking for any kind of workout kit results in a knock at the door followed by a questioning "Izuku? You okay in there?" from mom.

"Doors open!" I reply.

"I'm going to go out soon to meet a...friend i met yesterday and i can't find my gym clothes."

She gets a puzzled look on her face before walking away. After some rustling mom walks back in holding a green top with some gray sweatpants.

"Looking for these honey?" I nod as she passes them over and start getting dressed.

"Are you going for a run with this new friend?"

Shoving the rest of my clothes back away i start packing some note books, pens and a towel into a dusty old sports bag as i reply.

"Kind of." zipping the bag up, i go over and unplug my phone from it's charger and stuff it in my pocket.

"Sorry mom i've really got to go. i'll tell you about it over dinner tonight?"

"Of course Izuku! Have a good time, and be careful!" she says as i open the front door to our apartment. Never lived in one before, just something else to get used to.

"Will do! See you later!" closing the door behind me i glance left then right, looking for the stairs down. right.

Alright so day one of training begins, this is really gonna suck. Now to find the Takoba Municipal beach, good thing this phone has google maps.

Wow the whole place really is covered in trash. Seeing really is believing, it's really quite awful and a massive safety risk with it all just stacked on top of each other.

"Young Midoriya! Over here!" A booming voice to my left coming from a man next to an all white pickup truck can only be one person. Jogging over towards All Might in his shrunken state, or Toshinori Yagi as he normally goes by in this form, though i wouldn't know that yet. Well here goes, time to earn my Oscar.

"All Might!" I yell as i finally get close enough to get a good look at him. No wonder he has managed to keep his secret for so long despite being a bit of a bumbling fool no offence number one. Apart from the hair he looks nothing like his 'Might form', he looks like he should be in a hospital than anything else.

"Shhh shhh!" He puts a finger to his lips. "don't call me All Might in this form. Toshinori Yagi is my name so please use that when i'm like this."

Well that was easy enough. "I'm really sorry All- i mean Toshinori. i'll be careful." really nailing the pathetic act here me.

"It's quite alright my boy! now lets talk about why you're here shall we? come!" He says before leading me down onto the beach proper.

After walking me to the only clear patch of sand without trash on it he stops and spreads his arms wide.

"Now Midoriya! take a guess as to why i have brought you here!" Alright, time to play innocent.

"To...inherit One For All? A... passing of the torch ceremony?" I try to put on the best confused face i can then do a little head tilt to really sell it. Am i over selling it? it seems to be working though...

"Hahahaha not quite my boy! I won't be passing it on just yet as you're just not a proper vessel for my power!" He takes his phone out to snap a photo of me as i try to seem betrayed and upset. can't quite use the Midoriya family tears like he did in canon. wasn't canon me also hauling trash at that time? guess that's not an important change.

I go to protest his comment but as i open my mouth he cuts me off

"Now hold now, let me finish young Midoriya. As i said yesterday One For All is a stockpile of every users strength passed down from holder to holder and as you're to be the ninth that's a lot of power!" He flips his phone around to show me the picture he took. definitely over selling it, i'll tone the meekness down.

"So when i say vessel i mean you're body! For the next ten months before the U.A entrance exams you'll be hauling trash from the beach to the truck. Community service and strength training in one go! We'll also be using this!." He hands me a sheet of paper with a time table on it for different training exercises and meal plans, with a header that says 'Aim to pass! American Dream Plan!' before continuing.

"A training program designed by yours truly to whip you into top form before i pass onto you my power! if we did it right now all your limbs might explode off!" He ends by shifting into his buff form just to do an iconic All Might laugh.

"Explode?! Okay i understand Toshinori sir. I'll have to show my mom this meal plan." Nice Segway me!

"Speaking of my mother, i was doing some thinking last night and i was hoping to get your help with something."

All Might pops back into his small form with a small burst of smoke does that come from the old holders quirk? before approaching me and putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Is something wrong my boy?" He says with a worried tone.

"No no it's not bad but...i was just saying that i want some help convincing my mom to let me drop of out school and finish these last few months online." He looks confused for a second before i carry on.

"I don't enjoy my time at school well... at all. You can probably imagine what being the only quirkless kid at school must be like hahaha." He winces " And i'm pretty confident i could finish the rest of the work fast as i'm already a head of what we do in class anyways. It would also leave me more time getting ready for OFA and U.A, also..." time for the seller, "I want my mom to support me in my dream! If you could talk to her and help convince her i can really do this, obviously without telling her about OFA, yet but i want to really focus on this and be the best i can! i'm already behind everyone! I need all the extra help i can get!" I look straight into his sunken eyes as i finish pleading my case.

His face remains thoughtful as moments pass without words before it looks like he comes to a decision, nodding his head he puts his other hand on my other shoulder.

"Alright young Midoriya, after our training session today i'll come with you home to have a talk with your mother." he turns me around to face the piles upon piles of trash.

"Now it's time to take your first step on your road to being a hero! Lets get started!" And with that i start hauling trash from sand to truck bed in the blazing heat for the rest of the day. I decide that it's probably best if i start with all the smaller pieces around the outside before slowly working my way in, in the coming months.

After a back breaking workout All Might calls it a day, and we start heading home after dropping off the last of the trash at the recycling center, to have a talk with mom.

Here's hoping this goes well.

And there we have it, 2 chapters back to back. i'm not gonna make any promises that this release speed is gonna keep up, it's just that the idea is fresh in my head so i'm giddy to get it out. i'm coming up with some ideas relating to the coming exam and Izuku's friend group. i'm still undecided on if i want to introduce Grand Trorino this early. we, (and i mean me) will see.

See you in the next one! - LordZarcon
