Chapter 4: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

-Hatsume House-

Mei's father had been peacefully for once working on his car, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupé. His daughter had gone out today to collect parts and maybe to try to abduce a few test subjects, not her words but what she meant when telling him her plans.

He just has finished re-installing the right rear breaks as he got a text message from his daughter. She said that she would bring a boy home or as she had called him a male test subject. Sadly this wouldn't be the first time she had abducted someone as she had done or at least tried it more than a dozen times… literally.

So not even an hour later Mei bursts into the garage and shows her father her newest conquest. A Boy with green hair that introduces himself as Midoryia Izuku. He seems generally more confused than angry like the others Mei had… Invited over. 'I should really do something about that.' Mei's father thinks. 'Nah, he will figure a way out to flee... just like the others.' He had tried before and he will try again to talk his daughter out of abducting strangers from the street but cut him some slag here, he has a life too and she isn't harming anyone. Some even came back to get their cars checked up by him, so it is a win-win situation.

Izuku was meanwhile torn between disappointment and positive surprise. On one hand, was the fact that the pink-haired beauty with the rather large… *cough* assets hadn't offered him to lose his V-card, which is kind of disappointing from the perspective of a horny teen, not that he would admit to being one, and relief as he didn't think he could have done… it with her… or well maybe he could have but that's a story for another time. On the other hand, are her genius inventions, she is showing him just as he thinks about it. Her father had given him a look that basically screamed 'you-are-not-the-first-one' but he didn't mind… too much at the moment.

Mei was having a blast and even that will put it lightly. For the first time in her life, she has met someone who could actually follow the conversation, read: monologue, and didn't have to ask silly questions like, 'isn't that dangerous?' or 'So we aren't going to fuck?'. Strangely her father would kick those later ones always out but that doesn't matter at the moment. The boy, Meldo, Mel, Mil, Me... Midas!, was listening and from the look on his face, she could deduce that he could indeed understand her and follow her Ideas.

"..So that concludes the first part of our little tour through my Babies do you have any questions, Midas?" Mei asks as she looks at him. Izuku's face gained a serious expression as he looked at her.

"Urgh~ Ok, LAST time Hatsume-san, my name is Midoriya Izuku, OK? Simply nodding is enough." He asks her, speaking slowly so that she would understand him while sounding a little bit annoyed as she had already forgotten his name 4 times only on the way to her house. She did as told and nodded at his request, having understood his name. "Good, I will cut you some slag here and you are allowed to call me Izuku or even Izu if that is better for you." She again nodded. "Good," He then smiled at her. "Now that we have my name out of the way I have indeed have a few questions about your inventions. Maybe you can even help me with some of the ideas I had for my quirk." Izuku just to prove the point of being Izuku pulled a notebook from somewhere and opened it to show Mai what he had planned for his costume.

SO they spent the next 2 hours exchanging Ideas. Mei was constantly coming up with new and exciting Ideas while Izuku would try, the keyword is try, to keep it at a manageable level, while he was writing down some she came up with. He didn't even start to try to make her stop as he somehow already knew it would be a futile endeavor. They even started to make a design for Izuku's armor, along with a forearm guard for his right arm but even this smaller piece turned out to be much more difficult to construct with Izuku's quirk changing his size when he transforms. They still got the development started.

-10 months later-

Izuku had been training relentlessly. In the past months, he had gone to extreme lengths to be in the best possible shape when the UA entrance exam rolls around, which is tomorrow so that's good for him because he feels incredible. Well, tomorrow is the recommendation exam but he still felt super! Breaking your limits over and over again is a good strategy as long as you don't hurt or injury yourself carrier-ending.

Izuku had convinced Mei, who is taking the recommendation entrance exam for the support course of UA tomorrow, and Bakugou to hang out for the day. Bakugou had also shown some of his notes to Mei and to say she was delighted to hear she could build something that was INTENDED to blow up, would be a big understatement. In her words, "Explosions are Cool!" This also scored her a place on Bakugou's 'list-of-people-he-calls-by-their-name', this list as it says at the top is a list of every person Bakugou calls by eighter their family or given name. On this list are Izuku, Mei, and Inko, whom he calls Aunty Inko. It's a rather sad thing if you only have 2 friends… but hey they are best friends at this point in time and I am not here to judge… [I would end up being a hypocrite.]

On another note, Izuku had been officially promoted to 'Mei's-official-test-subject-for-life', which basically means that he would test the majority of all universal type gear she would work on. Along with the fact that he will showcase a prototype of his costume, that Mei produced, to the judges at the exam at UA.

"HEY, Izuku, Mei," Bakugou called out to them. They… Izuku had decided that they would take a break to relax one last time before the exam. He had decided they would meet in a cat cafe. Izuku and Mei were already sitting at the table, Izuku had dragged Mei here as she would never have gone on her own to a cafe when they want to meet there.

"Hey, Katsuki," Izuku answered him as Bakugou walked up to the table with his friends and took a seat at their table. Mei grumble something about how unfair it was that she also must be here. But both decided to ignore her for now so she simply got back to her cake.

"So what kind of cake have you two gotten?" Bakugou asks as he sees that both had already ordered something. Izuku quietly passes Bakugou the menu while Mei takes this opportunity to speak up.

"Heh heh heh, I have chocolate cake with chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate," Mei tells him proudly. Izuku and Bakugou just sweatdrops a bit at that. They know that Mei loves chocolate but it was sometimes a bit extreme… 'at least it goes to the right parts of her' they both think at the same time as Mei eats another piece of her cake, yes she has ordered a complete cake, while both glancing shortly at her... assets.

Izuku then decides to end the awkward silence and speaks up, "I have peach cake with iced vanilla coffee," Izuku simply told Bakugou. He had chosen to get two pieces of cake, from one piece was already taken a bite. A waiter then walks up to them and asks Bakugou what he would like to eat.

"Hmm, then I have 2 pieces of the orange cake and a Black tee." Both Mei and Izuku look at him wide-eyed, causing Bakugou to blush a little bit. "W-What?" He asks them, still being embarrassed about the stares he receives from his friends.

"Oh, Nothing," Izuku says and then grins slightly. "It's only that Mr. Expoltions has chosen the least spicy food on the menu." Bakugou is about to answer but as if on cue, a white cat jumps on Izuku's lap while purring slightly. Causing Bakugou and Mei to lose their train of thought.

Izuku sees their faces and chuckles a bit, before answering the unasked question. "I am a regular here and the cats like me, you know, because of my quirk." He then pulls the cat into his arms, while patting her slightly. Both now can see the cat better, She has white fur with gray fur on her paws and black fur at the tip of her tail. "This here is Tora, you see the owner let me name her because they like me so much." He tells them after he sees their faces after hearing her name.

"And when you are so loved by them, why is only one here?" Bakugou asks him while looking a bit jealous at him for having a cat in his arms. Animals usually don't like being near him because of his explosive sweat.

Izuku sets her back down onto his lab before he answers. "You see I made a deal with all the cats here. After this one time, they all went out of their way to come to be patted by me. Basically, the first one to get to me gets to lay on my lap for my stay here. The others have to respect that."

Bakugou and Mei just start at him before the waiter, with Bakugou's tee and cake, rips them out of it. "Here you go, I hope you enjoy it." He says before he leaves, Bakugou giving him a small thanks. They then eat their respective cakes while chatting about unimportant things like the weather or how excited they are to finally have a shot at getting into UA.

They then came on a rather important topic by pure accident, the retirement of the Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu. She was at the time on the best way into the top 10 with being ranked at number 11 only barely behind the Magic Hero: Majestic. But many had considered her one of the strongest heroes and the strongest female Hero, who could even go head to head with people like the number 2, Endeavor, or even the Symbol of Peace, All Might. Her retirement was truly a shocker at the time.

While they were talking about her, Izuku remembered a rather strange incident with the girl he had rescued about 1 month after the Sludge Villain Incident.

-Flashback: 9 months ago-

Izuku was again walking home from school as he came again to a stop under the bridge The villain had attacked, he looked around and even found the dent/crack the manhole-cover made when it landed beside him. He grins slightly at that as he remembered All Might's words after he had captured the villain for the first time.

"You are pretty wired, you know that?" A voice says next to him, Izuku's instincts kick in and he jumps about 2 meters away from the position he has been before the person that had just spoken basically directly into his ear.

"WOAH!" He calls out as he lands. Izuku then looks at the person and sees the girl he had rescued. "AH, it is you, I am glad that you are ok." He says with a grin as the girl still looks at him.

"Yeah, Thanks to you, Midoriya-san. My name is Kaida and I wanted to thank you personally for saving me." She says with a small smile. "But you are kind of wired, I mean you look at a crack in the street and suddenly start to grin at it…" She didn't need to say anything else as Izuku began to sweat.

'Good first impression, dumbass!' He thinks to himself as he tries to hide his face in his hands. "No-no, It isn't like that!" He responds, he then looks up from his hands "You see I was attacked here by a Villain, and the hero who had rescued me had encouraged me to follow my dream and that he would await the day I reach it." Izuku explains.

"I take it your dream is to become a hero?" She asks him and he nods simply, "Oh that's good… Like can you imagine you want to become a villain, you are attacked by one before you become one yourself and a HERO incurring you to follow the dreams that just happens to be a Villain yourself?" Izuku just stares at her for a bit but decided to politely nod at her question.

"Yeah, no need to fake that you know what I was going at, to be honest, it sounded a lot better in my head." She tells him and then looks at her phone. "Ok, I need to go! Hopefully, we see each other again sometime in the future. Bye Midoriya-san!" She says as she leaves.

"AH, bye Kaida-san." He says as he waves a bit at her before he continues his way home.

-Flashback: END-

"-ku, Izuku, HEY NERD!" Bakugou calls out to him, snapping him out of his daydreaming/memory. "Are you even listening, nerd?"

"ye-yes of course!" Izuku blurred out. Bakugou just raised his eyebrows at that, while Mei keeps eating her cake. Izuku just gave up and sighed, "Yeah, OK I didn't listen to you. I was kinda lost in my thoughts."

"Something interesting?" Mei asks, before eating a chocolate chip cookie

"Nah, only the encounter with Kaida-san." His friends acknowledged that and they then moved on to the next topic. They simply talked and were enjoying their cake and hot beverages or in Izuku's case a cold beverage, until Izuku's phone reminded him with an alarm that he needs to go home. He would be having a busy day tomorrow as he has also been a recommendation for the UA entrance exam, along with Bakugou, from none other than All Might himself. Bakugou had said after they talked about it: 'I don't need the fucking help of any other, I will prove that I have what it takes to be a hero on my own!' Izuku understood that reasoning but he had still taken the offer as this is positively a once in a lifetime chance.

-The Next day at UA…yeah!-

So here he is, Izuku is now standing in front of UA a week before the normal entrance exam and on the day of the recommended entrance exam. He decides to not waste any more time simply staring at the enormous building and quickly enters. Luckily it has large signs guiding him to the room where the recommended are instructed to gather before the exam. As he enters the room all eyes turn to him, they all have their own places and nobody is talking to each other, the message is clear for Izuku after seeing that 'we are all competing in this exam', an unhealthy mindset for heroes or those that want to be ones but nonetheless he understood this point of view.

He took a deep breath before closing the door behind him and stepping fully into the room. Many were glaring at him, mainly because he was their newest competition, others simply studied him with their gazes, trying to analyze potential weaknesses, the atmosphere in the room was far from enjoyable for him. Normal humans can see when someone is staring at him but with his quirk, this has turned up to max level.

Izuku looked around and noticed some interesting competition, a boy with his hair evenly split between two colors: white on his right side and crimson red on his left. 'Maybe a side effect of his quirk.' Izuku theorizes as he looks at him, he then looks further and sees a girl with her long black hair bound into a ponytail. She is rather pretty but overall rather plain-looking compared to the other competition. 'Hmm, interesting. She along with the seaweed girl.' He thinks as he looks over to a girl with long seaweed green hair that also looks kind like seaweed, 'are one of the only ones who don't try to melt me with their stares.'

Izuku then decides to speak with them after the exam as they could mentally prepare themselves at the moment and he didn't want to disturb them. Just then another person entered the room and drew the whole attention to him. Many recognized him by just looking at him, it is none other than the Voice Hero: Present Mic.

"OK! EVERYONE!" He began loudly, everyone just covered their ears to be safe. "Please follow me, I will bring you to your exam room, as only 20 people were recommended and 3 have already been selected as unworthy before even setting a foot into UA we will take a normal classroom for this exam." He explained, shocking many. To hear that 3 had already been disulfide from the exam was quite the shocker.

"Ahme, sir?" One brave participant raised his hand to get the hero's attention. Mic looked at him and he continued. "If we are allowed to ask, why have those 3 been disqualified?" He asked and no the whole room was looking at Mic to get the answer.

"Ha that is simple, we look into the files of everyone that is recommended, and only heroes that work closely with UA together or are in the top 50 hero ranking or have special approval from principal Nezu are allowed to recommend students along with our suppliers." Mic began to explain. "The files of those recommended are then sent to Nezu and he will do an in-depth analysis of the potential students. By those 3 came for that they had done some rather… unheroic things… I think will leave it at that. But those things came to light and Nezu personally contacted the heroes who had recommended them and told them about it. Shortly afterward were the Recommendations for those 3 withdrawn." He finished and the boy who had asked thanked Mic for the honest answer. The group then continued to a classroom with a giant red 1-A on the classroom door. "So here we are, maybe this is even your future classroom when you make it into UA."

Mic then opened the door and guided the 17 participants into the room and tells them to take a set and sit down. They did as they were told in silence while waiting for the test to start. Shortly after they took the sets came a homeless-looking man with a stack of papers in his hands along with the Prohero Vlad King into the room. The homeless man and Mic shared a look and both then nodded to each other. Mic left the room, while the homeless guy took position behind the teacher's desk, Vlad walked in the back of the class and set on a table specially prepared for him.

"Hello everyone, my name is Aizawa Shoto, and along with my colleague will we make sure that none of you is able to cheat." He began in a serious tone. "If you are caught trying to cheat you will be thrown out imminently and you are also not allowed to take the normal entrance exam." He then quickly explains that the writing portion will be 3 hours and then will be thy physical exam part additional 2 hours long.

And so began the entrance exam for recommended students of the best hero school in Japan and Izuku had begun his thousand miles journey to become the number 1 hero.

~Quirks!~

Hello everyone and welcome to ~Quirks!~! *LOUD CHEERING!* I am like always your beautiful Moderator, Nui Tokuma!

Today we have the quirk of our all favorite nutcase! SO here is the quirk of MEI HATSUME!

{Zoom} - Mei's quirk is the one with the simplest function up to this point. By focusing her eyes on a particular spot, Mei is capable of seeing up to 5 kilometers. Her eyes also feature unique crosshair-shaped irises.

Her quirk is indeed rather simplistic in nature and has only a few applications, which isn't a bad thing. Her quirk is also one of only a handful of eye-based quirks which makes her quirk special.

Speed: 1/5

Power: 1/5

Potential: 1/5

Cool eyes: 10/5

!Bonus!

This plays ca. 4 Months after Ryuko's de-aging.

Ryuko had done many dangerous things before but this thing she is about to do is easily the most dangerous thing yet to come. She would meet with her intern Hado Nejire.

Ryuko is waiting in a meeting room at UA for her trainee, who has also grown on her, to show up. Then the door opened and Nejire walked in. She closed the door.

"Hello, Nejire," Ryuko simply says and they both stare at each other for a short amount of time in silence. Nejire then smiles brightly before she jumps to the de-aged Pro with her arms spread out.

"RYUKYU!" She calls out as she pulls her into a hug. "I was so worried, I heard that something had happened to you from the others but I couldn't get anything accrued and then you announce that you are retiring." now a few tears liked from Nejires eyes, "I am SO happy that nothing has happened to you!"

Ryuko now breaking out of her shook begins to pad the girl, who has started to see her as a big sister, back. She knew that she should have told Nejire sooner but both Nezu and Aizawa had strongly advised against it. After about 5 minutes Nejire sets up again.

"So, Ryuko-nee-san, how old are you now?" Nejire asks.

"I am 14 years old now," Ryuko told her and she could see the sparkles appear in Nejires eyes.

"OH, you can be my cute, little kohai now!" Nejire beamed and Ryuko had to smirk at that.

"Oh yeah, I will totally become your kohai." She said with sarcasm dripping from her voice. "But in let's be real here…"

Thanks for reading!

See ya!

H I H I, I have done it again!
