Chapter 1
So basically after binge watching and becoming addicted to My Hero Academia, I've actually been toying around with this idea in my head for quite a while before deciding to put it into action. Now in this fic, I will be trying to write the characters as realistically as possible. I also ask that in the reviews, you be honest but also fair with them , tell me your honest thoughts about this chapter, what you liked and what you didn't. Help out a rookie out with his writing. Anyway without further ado here is the story. Also I DON"T OWN My Hero Academia in any way, shape, or form.
"Normal Speech"
"Thoughts"
"You must introduce yourself to the world and proudly say I AM HERE!"
Those are the words Izuku Midoriya was told from his Mentor and idol, All Might himself. At long last the UA Sports festival has arrived and he was given the chance to introduce himself to the world and proclaim " I AM HERE"!
"I hope your watching ALL MIGHT!" was all that was going through the teenage boy's mind at the moment.
BEGIN!
And with that the race had begun. "One for all Full Cowling 5%!", Midoriya thought as he spread the power of One For All through out his entire body, coating himself with a Neon Green bio electric aura and quickly taking the lead of the race with a powerful leap.
"With my new training I can win!"Midoriya exclaimed with a smile on his face, as he quickly began taking advantage of his increased mobility and agility,employing acrobatics on the fence leaping from left to right .
Seeing the relatively controlled manner of how their classmate was utilizing his power, the students of Class 1-A were... Well shocked would be an understatement.
"Since when the hell can Midoriya do that?!" Kirishima exclaimed with wonder in his eyes.
"The way he's propelling himself ..." Endeavor's youngest son thought as he quickly froze the ground behind, severely slowing down much of the competition.
"That damn nerd, he's using MY MOVES!" raced through Bakugo's mind with venomous rage at seeing how well Deku incorporated his moves into his own new technique, and significant amount of jealously as he saw how far his rival had progressed.
"Midoriya?!" Eida yelled with wonder in his voice at seeing the new mastery of his quirk.
"Shouldn't he be breaking a bunch of his bones or something like that?" Ojiro wondered out loud as he expertly dodged Todoroki's incoming ice with his tail, along with Bakugo, Kirishima and Yaoyorozu.
"DEKU! JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Bakugo screeched at the top of his lungs as propelled himself forward with his explosions, refusing to allow useless Deku get ahead of him.
"And suddenly Class 1-A's Izuku Midoriya takes the lead with blinding speed! " Present Mic excitedly yelled into his Microphone. Beside the Overly excited announcer, Shota Aizwaia narrowed his eyes at his student, with the slightest of smiles hidden behind his bandages recalling the words of advice he had given him before.
"Work harder, I don't wanna hear the excuse you can't control your quirk that's already getting old. However, your quirk will prove useful if you can get a handle on it. His power may have been lessened. But he has far greater control over it."
Clearly that boy had taken those words to heart.
Two Weeks Earlier
"Using my quirk needs to come just as naturally as breathing. Everyone's had fifteen years to get into that mindset, but not me. And Time is a luxary I'm running out of. If I'm gonna draw out the 5% I can handle, I'll need to put in even more commitment then I did at the beach." Our favorite Greenhead thought as he made his way back to his home. As he moved to unlock the door to his Apartment he noticed some fliers stuck on the door handle. Taking them off the handle, he saw an ad for Microwave a Panasonic Microwave was on their last legs, they had that ancient piece of machinery since he was 4 years old it was so ancient it wasn't even a turning type. The New Model was a turning type allowing food to be cooked more evenly. That was great his mother was looking for a replacme-
The flyers scattered on the ground as Midoirya eyes widened in realization, and wide smile grew on his face as he let out a chuckle.
EUREAKA! The solution to his problem was staring right in the face!
The NEXT DAY
Standing before his teacher in a private training room, Midoriya practically exploded with excitement as he relayed his new method to his Predecessor.
"The problem is I've only been summoning one for all in the places I needed when I needed it. But by doing that my reaction time just slows down more and more. I shouldn't be flipping the switch off I just need to leave the power on the whole time, spreading it throughout my entire body. I call it One For All Full Cowling" Midoriya stated while sending the quirk's power coursing through his whole body.
"Well done Young Midoriya this is truly the first step towards making One For All's power your own." The Symbol of Peace thought with a impressed look at seeing the ingenious method his student had created.
"So you think you can you move around while in this state kid?"
"I think so!"
"Wanna test it out?" All might asked with a smile as he accessed his own Muscular form.
"Of course!"His student replied with a confident grin of his own, before Master and Student charged at one another.
The next couple of weeks were filled with Sparing Matches between the Two Wielders of One for All . This served to not only assist in establishing a fighting style with this state, but also help increase his concentration in terms of using his power, being sure to maintain exactly 5% and not go over his limit The slightest loss of focus, could result in broken bones but it was well worth it . Full Cowling was a total Game Changer, something that would give him a much needed edge at the Sports Festival.
"I can do this! I can win! Just as long I don't go above 5%, I can-" Midoriya thought process was interrupted as he just barely managed dodged a back handed swiped from a 0- point robot from the Practical Exam. Landing back on the ground he quickly leaped upon the arm of the robot, before once again propelling himself to the side of it's head. He then managed to rip a small part of the robot to use as a shield against the incoming finger of yet another Mech before managing to right himself in the air and land on his feet back on the ground before dashing forward once more. "This could come in handy later" raced through his mind as he tied his "souvenir" around his back.
"Izuku Midorya pasts through the obstacle as if it were nothing!"
Refusing to allow himself to far behind the boy he had challenged just a half hour before, Todoroki quickly projected his Ice onto the Gigantic Mechs in front of him, sending them tumbling onto the ground before dashing forward as fast as his legs could carry him.
"For those of you who felt the first obstacle was to easy, let's see what you think about the 2nd one." Present Mic questioned as Midoriya arrived at a canyon with ropes connecting, with Todoroki and Bakugo hot on his trail.
Taking advantage of his increased mobility he quickly took a leap with a running start to land on his hands and launching himself into the air to the next section of land.
"I thought that kid couldn't use his quirk without injuring himself." The hero know as Snipe said as he viewed the event.
"Seems as though he's finally learned how to channel it correctly." Principal Nezu replied with his usual polite tone.
"Yeah now he should be more effective in..."
The conversations in teachers' box were completely being drowed out by All Might, as he was completely focused on the progress his young Protege was making in the race with a smirk on his face "Young Midoriya, the fruits of your labor have paid of well. While 5% may not be large amount of your power, it's still more then enough to allow you to compete with your fellow students. I've asked so much of you, you don't have to come in first but it seems you won't settle for less."
"And now students are approaching the final obstacle, be sure to tread carefully, YOU'RE STEPPING ONTO A MINDFIELD! By the way, those land mines were designed for the game, so they may be loud and flashy, but there's not too strong. JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU WET YOURSELF. Present Mic screamed as loud as possible without his quirk.
"Get ahold of yourself" Eraser deadpanned in his usual tone.
Stopping for a moment in spite of himself, Midoriya had a light bulb go off in his head, quickly unfastened the dead weight he'd been carrying on his back before running forward with Full Cowling and jumped forward onto the landmines to launch himself forward placing the makeshift shield under himself to be protected from the explosion that would propel himself forward at high speeds.
"Crap! I'm losing speed. But I have to keep going. I HAVE show the world who I AM!" Midoriya thought as he began to fall to the ground before quickly flipping forward and smashing his "shield" onto the ground again sending himself flying even further before jumping off using Full Cowling to just barely land on the other side of the Minefield before rolling back on his feet and rushing forward once more.
"And Izuku Midoriya widens the gap between him and fellow runners even further! Geez Eraser what the hell are you teaching this kid?!
"DAMN IT DEKU! GET BACK HERE!" Our resident Hothead screeched, this person who shall not be named began boosting himself with explosions to catch up.
"This ice path will just help the others but there's no time to worry about that right now." Icy Hot thought as he quickly covered the mines in front of him with ice in an effort to take the lead from Midoriya.
"And Izuku Midoriya widens the gap between him and fellow runners even further! Geez Eraser just what the hell are you teaching this kid?!"
'This has nothing to do with me, not just Midoriya, but all of these students are simply powered by their own drive to succeed." Aizawa responded.
"There you have it Eraser is a terrible teacher!"
"I'm what?!"
Ignoring his old friend Present Mic continued with his duties with announcer, "The first person to make it back to the stadium is the winner! IZUKU MIDORIYA IS OUR CHAMPION!
"OH IZUKU MY BABY!" Inko Midoriya exclaimed while threatening to flood her apartment with tears.
Midoriya looked up to the crowd cheering at his victory, while he spotted his master in the Teachers' he was giving a proud smile at his young Protege's progess. HE DID IT! HE ACTAULLY DID IT! He had gotten first place. Wiping the tears that were threatening to spill from his eyes he clenched his fist in victory with the widest smile on his face. All his Training was finally paying off at last.
"This sports festival is about aiming for the top, even if it means defeating your friends. Popularity plays a huge part in a hero's career, so they have to want to be the best. At your core you want to help other. That is why I chose you as my successor Young Midoriya. But in all honesty, I was worried your selflessness could be your weakness. Turns out I was worried over nothing, you are a feisty one, though you could cool it with the waterworks. " All Might thought with pride and slight aspiration at seeing the familiar sight of his successor in tears.
"Again. Deku defeated me again! Damn it!" Bakugo growled out in such anger, looking like he would explode even without use of his quirk. He had lost again, to that damn nerd and too add insult to injury he had used copied his own moves to do it! THAT DAMNED NERD
Todoroki simply narrowed his eyes at his rival, before he walked away.
Meanwhile The Scouting Pro hero's were impressed with not only the Young man's abilities, but also the the level of his analytical abilities. They certainly needed to keep an eye on him.
"That kid's got serious potential"
"Yeah and not just with his quirk, it seems he's quite the strategist."
"Yes adaptation improvisation but his weakness is not his technique".
"That was Amazing Deku! You got first place I'm so jealous! When did you learn how to use your power like that?!" Uraraka asked while trying to catch her breath."O-Oh it was nothing really."Midoriya replied timidly hiding his blushing face behind his arms due the close proximity he was to a girl.
"I-it was j-ust something I was working on the last couple of weeks for the festival.
"Were you holding out on us"? She asked gently punching his shoulder.
"I j-just created a method to channel my power correctly, without injuring myself is all."
As he conversed with his crush he realized something. This was it. He had taken the first step towards announcing to the world that he was here.
I wrote this in about two days. I really do hope it turned out well, because I truly put in plenty of effort.
I also want to say I won't be featuring the Calvary battle in this story (while it does occur in this story I simply won't be showing it)instead it will skip straight over to tournament battles.
In all Honesty I kinda feel like I lost some steam at the end there in my opinion.
I'll try to get the next chapter up within the next week or so depending on the reviews for this story.
Also I'm not quite sure myself whether or not I'll continue this fic past the Sports Festival Arc but I guess we'll see as time goes on.
