Hello, first to the absolute legend who offered the idea to give Izuku quirks depending on style level, unfortunately I'm kind of going a different route with what style does but I may use amps in the future because well, Hatsume,
Though I do have a question. Why do you think style 4 is the last level? Wink wink.
Regarding guns, I'm not sure how to incorporate them into this because guns tend to kill people for some dumb reason but I'll figure something out.
Flashback with Izuku adding comments
A crying Izuku was in his mother's embrace, someone Izuku looked up to, really hurt him. Badly. To the point where he was scared to be different in fear that he will get hurt again.
"I'm not ready to reveal who hurt me yet but this next part is important"
"Izuku it doesn't matter what you wear or what you say, it doesn't even matter how you walk" Inko spoke as she twirled his highlights between her fingers.
"Confidence is stylish and even if you had the most plain outfit? You. Izuku. Will always stand out because you are the hero of your own story"
"How right she was, I don't know how, but what she said resonated with me and I made a promise"
"I'll live with style"
And that was honestly a pretty easy promise to keep.
Music pumped in his ear, more style accumulated within Izuku as his body began to respond to the music.
The tapping of his foot, he felt style echo through the ground.
The clicking of his fingers, style reverberating through the air.
The beating of his heart, style flowing through and around him.
The eyes of his peers looked at him as he began to move with the music.
The smile on Toshinori's face grew as he saw the participants near Izuku begin to smile and even nod their heads along with Izuku, if slightly.
His earlier actions had already boosted him to Style 2.
And the plot kinda needed a reason to give him Style 3.
"Go!" Present Mic screamed as everyone sprinted into the city, well everyone except the dancing greenette who spider man 3'd into it.
"What is he doing?" Aizawa said as he was still trying to comprehend what he had just witnessed. One moment everyone is stiff, the next, they are smiling and almost lax.
"What he does best" Toshinori began with pride written on his face "being stylish".
Two robots appeared on either side of the still dancing Izuku, both shot rockets as Izuku did a spin, the rockets missing him and hitting each other instead, giving him 6 points.
"Does that count?" Snipe asked as he was more surprised by the lack of reaction from Izuku, who still kept dancing.
"I'll allow it" Nedzu said before something caught his attention. This caused him to chuckle as he saw some of the participants still following a similar beat to Izuku, most likely without knowing.
"Seems he is quite infectious" Nedzu noted
Three 2 pointers approached Izuku, who took out the friendly crowbar.
"No worries I already got it approved" Izuku said as he jumped onto a sewer gate smacking his crowbar into it, before a gush of water came out, propelling him into the air and short circuiting the robots.
While in the air Izuku dashed into the wall and ran diagonally down it, throwing the hook, allowing him to swing round the corner and save a participant from a rocket.
However the rope broke causing Izuku to drop the participant, fortunately this participant was Kirishima, who hardened before he fell into a cluster of robots, giving him 10 points in total.
"That's convenient, guess I'll just bounce with my spring shoes"
He bounced yes, but the mechanical parts in the shoes fell apart.
"This just isn't my day, well can't get any worse, wait no no no I take it back goddamnit"
Suddenly the ground shook as the 0 point behemoth appeared and crushed all in its wake.
"Ok friendly crowbar, it's time...to get the hell out of here and become a courier!" Izuku began to run alongside everyone else as his style diminished.
"Help" a whimper caught Izuku's attention.
Izuku stopped and turned around to see the girl he literally fell for, fallen.
"Ironic" Izuku said as he was going to leave her.
'Leaving someone who needs you, remind you of anyone?'
Izuku turned and began to run to the fallen girl and when he got to her, he grabbed the concrete and pulled.
And pulled.
And pulled.
Ok this was starting to get embarrassing to read.
"This piece of concrete was obviously made to be here and it would be a disservice to move it"
"What about me?" The girl asked.
"Ummmm I don't know how to say this but" Izuku then ran away.
As Izuku ran she screamed "no, come back"
"No dad come back, I promise I'll be normal"
Izuku stopped.
He then turned around and faced the 0 pointer.
"It's not stylish to run away"
"Why can't you just wear normal clothes?"
He walked towards the 0 pointer. Before he began sprinting towards it.
"Why can't you just walk normally?"
He jumped onto another sewer gate hitting it with his crowbar, like a fizzed up bottle of overcharge, it blew and he flew.
"Why can't you just be normal?"
He grabbed the sewer gate with his crowbar and spun in the air till he was gaining an abnormal amount of speed
"Because being normal is a choice and I respectfully decline, you coward"
He released the sewer gate throwing it at the zero pointer.
"And being stylish?, Well that's just skill"
Somehow he must've hit the lay down button because it just fell back.
He wasn't done as he raised his crowbar gaining speed as his style skyrocketed right to Style 3.
'Nothing more stylish then facing your demons'
He thought about Toshinori while he fell, in the short time he knew him, Toshinori was the second person to actively encourage Izuku to be stylish. And even listened to him rant, hell he even went to All Might to review the law!
And since Toshinori looked like a nerdy version of All Might.
"Time to be bold, that's how you know something is powerful"
STYLE SMASH! Revenge Of The Living Nerds!
Izuku shot into the 0 pointer head, the force caused the top of the head to pop and slice three 2 pointers and one 3 pointer in half.
Izuku walked as he went to grab the concrete off the girl he abandoned.
"I'm sorry I was a coward, I will never do that again" Izuku spoke seriously as he pulled.
He forgot how heavy this was.
"You almost had it..pfff...so close to being cool" The girl tried to hold her laughter at Izuku's face.
Suddenly someone went beside Izuku "looks like you need a hand" a black haired kid offered as he hardened his arm and chopped the cement as it split down the middle, allowing both Izuku and the kid to lift the blocks separately, which were a lot lighter when they were half the weight.
"Thanks man, sorry about dropping you, its just the rope broke and-"
"no worries, I got like 7 points from the fall, my quirk isn't flashy but it has its uses" the guy spoke with a fake smile.
Pretty sure it was 10 but not important right now
"It's not stylish to doubt yourself" Izuku pat the wide eyed guy on the shoulder
"And if you want flashy, maybe add some colour to yourself, black doesn't suit your spirit, especially since you are going to be in UA" Izuku pointed out as he felt the very air around the man in front of him change at his praise.
"Will do, my name is Kirishima and thanks for your confidence in me, it's really comforting" the now named Kirishima said with his real shark smile.
"Izuku Midoriya" Izuku called over his shoulder as he sprinted to find some points.
"Now time to get some points, jink?" Izuku said as he went to find some robots.
"AND THAT'S THE END OF THE EXAM, AND I HAVE SIGNED YOUR NOTEBOOK" Present Mic said as he waved Izuku's notebook.
"Guess I can relax then, I wonder how much kidneys are worth?" Izuku said as a part of him died again once he came to the conclusion that he would never be anything but a broke courier.
"The funny part is, I could make money, but I won't be able to use my quirk" Izuku spoke as he put his headphones on but before he did.
"No screw you, I'm listening to music"
"What a horrible rescue, looks like you're also failing, bet I got more points than you" the redhead laughed without realising Izuku didn't hear him over his music.
Izuku wants to take off his headphones
"Izuku wants to cry himself to sleep" Izuku yelled, accidently frightening the poor old lady who came to help everyone.
She gave him a smack on the shin, before giving him a gummy. Letting Izuku leave. All the while Ochako and Kirishima were trying to get his attention before getting swarmed.
"That." Aizawa began.
"Was." Snipe continued.
"Amazing/Stylish" Midnight and Toshinori said at the same time glaring at eachother.
"I'm going to see him" Toshinori said as he stood up.
"Why? Already have a favourite?" Aizawa asked with a bemused expression.
"No, I want to thank him for opening my eyes all those months ago"
"Ahhh, so this is the kid that inspired the symbol of peace" Nedzu said as he fished out a Quirk License, put it through a machine and in a couple seconds a card with Izuku's details and picture came out.
"This will last one month" Nedzu began as he handed Toshinori the card "I like his style and I want to see it developed in both this school and in the real city".
"You mean?" Toshinori started before Nedzu explained
"He saved two people one of which he risked his victory to save, this is what we look for, plus heroes these days are kinda bland, nice to inject some life into the community".
"Young Midoriya" Toshinori called the drooping teen whose headphones stopped working.
"No they're perfe-oh Toshinori?" Izuku beamed.
"Young man, first, here's your notebook, most of the staff have signed it". He gave Izuku his notebook which was filled with lovely messages complementing his style, it almost made Izuku cry before a card was presented to him.
"For you're insight and stand out nature, we feel the citizens of musutafu should be allowed to witness your style, for a month"
Goddamnit Izuku cried big bulbous tears.
Izuku stood upon the rooftops of Musutafu, this time as a legal quirk user temporarily.
Before he began his run, Toshinori's words echoed.
"Young Midoriya, be yourself, be stylish"
"Will do my fellow father figure, oooh alliteration"
Wow this chapter has gone through so many rewrites, I wasn't sure if I should have Izuku's dad be a absentee due to Izuku's well, izuku-ness. Or just have Izuku be scared of being made fun of.
Also Style 3 wasn't necessary used too much but I don't plan on having consistent style abilities, pretty much what plot whats, it gets.
Well tell me what you think and I'll try to improve the next chapter as I'm enjoying writing this and I really want you to enjoy it as well. Thank you and have a stylish day.
