(Sorry for the delayed update. I completely forgot that I had to update this and I kinda got lazy. Anyways here it is now.)
Midoriya stood still, looking at the U.A building in pride. His hard work was about to pay off.
"Move aside Deku!!" Shouted a familiar voice. Midoriya turned around to see Bakugou walking with an angry look on his face. Every since Bakugou got in an accident where he got trapped by the villain of sludge, he has ignored Midoriya most of the time in school.
"Oh hey Bakugou." Midoriya responds. Eri was curious who the boy was as she never saw him before.
"Who's that papa?" She asked. Bakugou stopped and looked at her before continuing to walk.
"Get out my way or you're dead." He said trying to threaten Midoriya.
"You could just, you know, walk around me?" Midoriya said, not scared by the threat. Bakugou just grunts in anger and walks past him. He has gotten taller and buffer, but not as much as Midoriya. Eri wanted to talk back for threatening her hero, but Midoriya just shook his head at her. He continues walking before noticing a brown bob cut haired girl tripping on her own two feet. Midoriya rolls his eyes and quickly use his quirk to run up to the girl. He grabbed her from her shoulders before she noticed that she didn't hit the floor.
"Huh?" She says as she turns around to see Midoriya defined face in front of her and immediately blushes. She also saw a cute white haired girl sitting on his shoulders with a smile.
"You okay?" He asks, "Be careful next time." He releases the girl from his grasp and began to walk away leaving the blushing girl. 'She was cute' Midoriya thought with a faint blush before shaking the thought away.
Inside the Auditorium
Midoriya quickly finds his seat and notices that Bakugou is sitting next to it.
'Great' He sat down as Bakugou looked at him with a deathly stare. He takes Eri off his shoulders and places her on his lap which she happily sat on. Before he can say anything, he was interrupted by Present Mic coming on stage.
"WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE PERFORMANCE!! EVERYBODY SAY "HEY"!!" Mic shouts into his, mic.
'FUCK MY EARS!!' Midoriya mentally screams as he forgot to turn off his quirk making his ears more sensitive. He quickly shuts it off while holding his head and could only hear ringing in his head. Eri looked in worry as Mic was met with silence from the audience. Midoriya couldn't hear anything and couldn't pay attention to what Present Mic was saying.
"May I ask a question?!" A blue haired boy standing up with his arm raised up. Midoriya could finally hear something other than ringing.
"There appear to be no fewer than FOUR varieties of faux villains on this handout! Such a blatant error, if it is one, is highly unbecoming for U.A, Japan's top academy!! We're all here today in the hopes of being molded into model heroes!!" Said the blue haired boy with robotic arm movements. "And you, with the curly hair." He continued pointing to Midoriya. "You haven't been listening this entire time! And you brought a girl here! If you think you this a game, then you should leave immediately!" Midoriya moved Eri off his lap and had an annoyed look on his face.
"Why and how were you looking at me when everybody else wasn't. If someone doesn't want to do something that's their choice,but you have no right to say who can leave or stay based on one thing. And besides, I didn't want to not listen. Present Mic screamed so loud that he almost damaged my eardrums. Also, I'm sure Mic was about to explain your question. You should wait after someone is always done explaining something before jumping to conclusions." Midoriya said while standing up and pointing back at the boy.
"ALRIGHT CALM DOWN THE BOTH OF YOU. AND SORRY ABOUT THAT EXAMINEE 3842." Present Mic said, motioning his arms to sit down. "I DO WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU BROUGHT A CHILD HERE!!"
"She's family and I no one was available to take care of her." Midoriya explained. "And besides..." Midoriya raised his arm up to show Eri gripping on his pant leg with a closed eye smile. "...she doesn't trust anyone, but me." Which was technically a lie, Eri trusted Nobody but that doesn't matter right now.
"OKAY THEN! BUT SHE HAS TO STAY HERE DURING THE EXAM!!" Present Mic said. "SORRY FOR HURTING YOUR EARS!!"
"Just don't continue scream into microphones." Midoriya quietly whispers as he sat back down.
"TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE FOURTH FAUX VILLAIN VARIETY GETS YOU ZERO POINTS! HE MORE OF AN OBSTACLE!" President Mic continued, completely rejecting Midoriya's wishes.
'Why would they waste money on something we should avoid? And heroes should try to fight it even if it's stronger. No, there's more he's not telling.' Midoriya thought as everyone got up to go to their test sites.
At Test Site B
Midoriya was waiting for the test to begin. He had told Eri to stay back in the auditorium which Present Mic took her to the other teachers. However Eri didn't go easily until Midoriya promised to get her some candy apples. For the exam, he had a black tank top and grey sports shorts with his famous red shoes. Every girl in the exam would glance at his muscles for a few seconds before looking away. Midoriya just sighed, he was too used to it and started walking to the front of the crowd.
"AND BEGIN!!" As soon as Mic said that, Midoriya activated his quirk and sprinted to find some robots.
'Thank god I didn't have my quirk activated before he screamed again' He thought. He found two 3 pointer and spread more of Dark Heart to his arm and punched the robots destroying the heads of both. "That's 6 points" He then heard a sound behind him, he jumped and roundhouse kicked a 1 pointer's head off its body.
"7" He said as he ran off to find some more.
He destroyed more robots, saved a French boy, got surrounded, and destroyed all of them. He also kept helping people from danger on instinct. "97!" Midoriya said as he was standing on top of a robot's head that now had a fist sized hole in it. He jumped off the robot and ran to find some more. He saw the destroyed parts of robots everywhere and two familiar faces.
"28!" The brown haired girl said as she had her jacket open, sweating hard.
"45 points!" Said the blue haired boy as he dropped kicked a robot.
"Well, I guess they have that taken care of." Midoriya said as continues to run.
Monitor Room
"We don't tell them how many villains there are or how they're placed." Said a mysterious voice. "Such a wide battlefield and limited time, brings out the best of them." The mysterious figures watched screens of students.
"Look at that one," one said pointing to a screen with Bakugou on it "He has an amazing quirk and 64 villain points, but he really needs to fix his attitude."
"But look at that one." Another said pointing to Midoriya. "He's a cutie. Not to mention he has over 100 points and earned some recuse points as well." Eri was in the room next to a man who seemed like he hasn't slept in weeks. She immediately had a smile seeing Midoriya on screen.
"That's my papa!" Eri shouted pumping up her fist into the air. This gained a few looks of confusion, but that was overshadowed by how cute she said it.
"We have quite year. Let's see what they do against this?" Said another as he pressed a button on the desk.
Back to Midoriya
He destroyed 3 more robots, but they were getting harder to find. There was only a limited amount of robots and almost everyone had destroyed all of them. Then the ground started shaking, he looked up to see the 0 pointer towering over all the examinees and buildings.
'Holy crap! That's bigger than expected, still I feel like I should go after it' Midoriya thought as he stood still with a calm expression and everyone else ran past him.
"H-H-Help!" Midoriya looked to where the voice came from and saw the brown haired girl's leg trapped under rubble, struggling to get out. He saw that no one was trying to help her. It reminded him of himself, quirkless for so long and helpless. No one ever stood up for him, helped him. He started to to get enraged.
'All of those students, not helping her. How can they become heroes if there not willing to risk their lives?!' Midoriya thought angrily. His hands started to leak of blood before becoming black, black tears started falling down his face and black markings appeared all over his body. He started running towards the 0 zero pointer, and jumped as high as he can. He made it about the robot's waist and he cocked his arm back as black matter formed around it making some sort of black gauntlet.
"TAKE THIS YOU PIECE OF METALLIC TRASH!!!" He screamed as he punched the robot making a giant hole in the robot. All the examinees looked in shock. This guy just destroyed it in one punch! Midoriya was so filled with rage that he forgot he was falling towards the ground.
'What?!' Midoriya finally noticed that his arm was black and he felt stronger. This was new to him. His thoughts was interrupted by a slap on his cheek. He turned his head to see the brown haired girl floating on a piece metal, with her hands close together. He also realized he was floating a few inches off the ground. 'She must have a gravity related quirk'
"Re-lease" She said in pain as she tapped her fingers together. As soon she did that Midoriya fell face first onto the ground.
"Ow!" Midoriya said as the girl puked out of nausea.
"IT'S ALL OVER!" Present Mic said.
"MY FUCKING EARS!!" Midoriya screamed in pain again.
'Maybe I should stop using Dark Heart in my ears.' Midoriya thought as his ear were again ringing. He deactivated his quirk and laid down on ground holding his head. People started looking at him and chatting at what he just did, while the blue haired boy was silently thinking to himself.
"Yes, well done." A short old woman said as she gave the examinees gummies.This is recovery girl. "Well done. Good work. Yes, yes. Haribo candy for all. Eat up." She walked up to Midoriya and looked at him. "You hurt?"
"I'm fine, just a headache. Check her though." Midoriya said as he stood up and pointed to the brown haired girl.
"Okay then." Midoriya just watched recovery girl heal the girl's ankle and then walked back to the auditorium where Eri was waiting for him. She was next to the same man she was with in the monitor room.
"Papa!" Eri immediately jumped into Midoriya. He caught her and placed her on his shoulders. "The man was nice."
"Good to hear." Midoriya said before moving his eyes to the man, who seemed very bored. "Thanks, Eraserhead." He said before walking away as Eri waved goodbye.
The Day After
Midoriya walked to Takoba Beach, since Nobody said they would meet up the day after the test. Eri was in green swimsuit so she can play in the water.
"Midoriya!" Said boy turned around to see Nobody walking towards him.
"Nobody! I think I passed!" Midoriya said in pride.
"I thought so. Did anything happen during the test?" He asked. Midoriya thought for a second before remembering that his hand changed.
"Yeah, when the 0 pointer appeared I saw that no one helping a girl stuck under rubble. I got enraged and felt stronger. I noticed that my hand got black." Midoriya said while helping Eri build a sandcastle.
"So you finally reached that stage." Nobody said confusing Midoriya.
"What?"
"You see, Dark Heart has four forms. You have reached the second form."
"What's the difference in each?"
"In the second form you can create small weapons out of the darkness and it doubles your power."
"Really? So that's why I felt stronger. What about the other forms?" Midoriya says understanding now.
"The third form lets you create bigger weapons, use the darkness like matter and it triples your power. You also can create fire. The fourth is the ultimate form. In this form, it quadruples your power and everything I mentioned gets increased. And basically have the power to change the world." Nobody explains shocking the boy at the amount of power in the quirk.
"Wait really?! If you had this amount of power, why aren't you a hero?" Midoriya asks not knowing he has just asked something he shouldn't. Nobody stayed silent.
"T-That isn't something I want to talk about." Nobody said with a bit of a sad tone in his voice.
"O-Okay." Midoriya stuttered now knowing he went into a subject he shouldn't have.
"Come back here tomorrow to continue your training. Bye Eri!" Nobody said as he walked away as Eri waved.
'Just who are you? Why are you like this?' Midoriya thought as he watched Nobody leave. Eri seemed to have similar thoughts, but both didn't say anything about it.
Midoriya was eating with his mother and daughter in silence. As they finished, Midoriya sat down on the couch while his mother cleaned her plate. He grabbed a 45 pound dumbbell and started doing reps while watching tv. Eri watched him in curiosity.
"The letter, it should come today or tomorrow right?!" Inko said trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah..." Midoriya knew he passed but he hasn't told his mother that he has a quirk now, so he had to play along. Midoriya continued to do reps until his mother came rushing at him with a letter. 'Oh, it's here' He grabbed the letter from his mother and went to his room with Eri. Inko was walking back and forward outside his room in anticipation. Midoriya sat down and opened the letter to find a strange device inside. It turned on to reveal it projection. In the video was a white, bear? Mouse? With a scar over its eye and a suit.
"Izuku Midoriya" it talked "I am the principal of U.A, Nezu and I come to let you know that you passed the written portion with a perfect score." The creature said.
'It really wasn't that hard'
"On the practical you got a total of 182 points!"
'What? I'm sure I only got 102 points.'
"You see, not this exam wasn't only villain points. We graded you based on your heroic actions. You got 102 villain points and 80 rescue points!" The principle said.
'I knew that Present Mic wasn't saying everything!'
"See you at U.A Midoriya!" Nezu said as the projection shut off. Midoriya stayed silent.
"Well, then." He didn't know what to say. He started to smile in pride.
"Papa! I knew that you passed!!" Eri said. Midoriya smiled and ruffed her white hair.
"Thanks for your encouragement Eri. We should go to bed."
"Okay!"
April
"Izuku! Have you got your pocket tissues?"
"Yes"
"And your handkerchief? Have you got that?!"
"I got to go!" Midoriya said tying his shoes. Eri was waiting patiently next to the door wearing a small version of U.A.'s uniform. Midoriya had notified the school and told them how Eri was staying with Midoriya at all times. They allowed her to come, but had to stand back during his training. He got up and rushed towards the door.
"Izuku"
"Huh" Midoriya whispers as he stop at the door. Inko pauses for a moment.
"You're really cool." She continued with a proud smile and tears in her eyes.
"Thanks mom." Midoriya says with a smile before leaving with Eri holding his hand.
Timeskip brought to you by Eri trying to fix her tie and failing.
Midoriya was walking to his class, 1-A. Eri and Midoriya were amazed by the size of the building. He used his quirk to find his class and sensed a few similar people. He found the door that was almost 3 times taller than him.
'Must be for people with big enhancing quirks. How are you going to react Bakugou?' Midoriya thought before opening the door. He looked inside to find Bakugou and the blue haired boy arguing about a table? The blue haired boy finally noticed Midoriya standing at the door.
"I'm from Somei private academy. My name is Tenya Iida." The boy, now known as Iida, said in a robotic way also taking out his hand for a handshake.
"Hi, my name is Izuku Midoriya. Nice to meet you." Said boy responded with a smile and shook the boys hand.
"Midoriya, you perceived the true nature of that practical exam. While I did not." Iida stated, "I misjudged you!! I hate to admit it, but you were the superior candidate!"
'Why is he making a big deal out of it? Almost everyone didn't know. I was just lucky.' Midoriya thought while being a bit freaked out by Iida's robotic movements. "Iida, I didn't completely know there were hero points, I did know that we weren't told everything. Also I save those people on instinct, because it was the right thing to do." Midoriya explains. Iida was speechless for a moment and saw the white haired girl. Before he could say anything he was interrupted.
"Ah! That curly hair!" Midoriya turned around to see the brown haired girl he saved during the exam, "The handsome boy!" Midoriya blushes a bit and she does as well when she realized what she said.
'It's her! And she's even cuter in that uniform.' Midoriya thought with his blush. Bakugou stared at the green boy with hatred in his eyes.
Flashback
Bakugou pushes Midoriya to the wall of the back of the school. He learned that Midoriya made it to U.A and he is extremely angry.
"DEKU, HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MAKE IT. I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO THERE!" Bakugou grabbed the collar of Midoriya's shirt. Midoriya only sighs in annoyance. He honestly didn't care about Bakugou, in fact the boy doesn't even scare Midoriya anymore.
'I mean, I am taller than him by 1 foot' Midoriya thought. "Bakugou, I went there because it's my dream. I am not to give up on my dream just because you don't want me. Everyone gets the chance to choose their own paths." Midoriya said easily escaping out of Bakugou's grasp. The blonde didn't say anything to Midoriya who was walking away like nothing happened.
Flashback End
Bakugou was silently thinking to himself in anger and keeping his deathly stare on the green haired boy. Midoriya was talking to the brown haired girl before being tackled to the floor. He looked to say who had tackled him and immediately gained a huge smile.
"Jirou!"
"Midoriya!" The girl hugged the boy as hard as she can before blushing. She got off of him and looked away embarrassed for doing something in front of her classmates. "It's been a while since we've seen each other. Hasn't it?"
Midoriya and Jirou were so stressed about the exams and starting school that they completely forgot to text each other if they passed or not. Midoriya was very happy to see Jirou again, but that wasn't what he was focused on right now. What he was focused on was a man in a sleeping bag laying on the floor behind the girl.
'How long has he been there?' Midoriya thought before walking towards the man. Everyone looked at him, before seeing the man on the floor.
"You're obviously our teacher aren't you?" Midoriya said to man.
'That thing is our teacher?!' The whole class thought expect some few.
"That is very lucky guess." The man said before standing up and removing the bag. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleased to meet you." He said in bored tone.
'He was right?!' Most thought. Everyone now had a good look on the man. He had black, long messy hair, mostly black clothes and a scarf that is actually made out of a special type of metal. Aizawa reached in his bag and pulls out some P.E clothes.
"Quickly now. Change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds." He says.
'Is no one going to mention the fact that he had those in the same bag he sleeps in? No? Okay.' Midoriya quickly thought as he grabbed his clothes and changed.
Everyone is now outside in their PE clothes, Midoriya's being a bit too tight showing some muscles that no one almost noticed. Jirou and a pink skin girl to be specific.
'I know he was training to come here, but DAMN. You wouldn't be to tell they're the same person a few years ago.' Jirou thought with a blush as the other girl was just drooling all over herself. Eri was sitting on a nearby bench at a distance with a carton of apple juice.
"A test of quirks?!" Most of the students shouted in shock.
"What about the entrance ceremony?! Or the guidance sessions?!" The brown haired girl asked.
"No time to waste on that stuff if you want to become heroes."
"Huh?!"
"Yes, U.A allows the teachers to mostly whatever they want. Even to expelling an entire class." Midoriya stated as he glared at Aizawa surprising everyone.
'How did he know? He must researched a lot to be here' Aizawa thought.
"That is true. Softball throwing, the standing long jump, the 50-meter (about 165 feet for us Americans) dash, endurance running, grip strength, side to side stepping, seated toe touch. You did all of these in middle school, yes? Your standard No quirks allowed gym tests." Aizawa says. The class didn't know what they were really going to do expect for Midoriya.
'We're going to use our quirks right?' He asks himself.
"Midoriya how far could you throw in middle school?" Aizawa asks as he looked at said boy.
"31 meters" Midoriya says, a bit embarrassed at the low score.
"Pretty bad, now try it with your quirk. Do whatever you need, just don't leave the circle." Aizawa says in his usual bored tone.
"You can do it papa!" Eri cheered from the bench, shocking everyone by what she said.
'HE'S A FATHER?!?!'
Midoriya got into the circle and closed his eyes seemly ignoring everyone. He took a deep breath and calmed himself.
'He wants me to use my full power so, Dark Heart Second Form!' He thought as his blood turned black which started coming from his arms and eyes. He opened his eyes to reveal his black eyes and white pupils. He formed a small gauntlet with his power around his right hand. He lowed his arm and cocked it back as far as he can.
"BLACK CATAPULT!!" Midoriya yelled as he threw the ball creating huge amounts of wind that almost knocks the students down. Aizawa looked at the amount of power with shock. He knew the kid was strong, but it was stronger than he remembered. He looked at his phone for the distance.
"Sensei," The boy said as Aizawa looked at him. "How was that?" The boy asked as he turned to show his determined look. Aizawa just creepily smiled and said nothing.
"DEKU!! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET A QUIRK!?!" Midoriya's attention was now focused on Bakugou who screamed in anger. Bakugou rushed at Midoriya with his hands open to make an explosion. Midoriya got ready to block the attack, but didn't have to as Aizawa used his scarf to trap the boy.
"What the?! This cloth is stiff!" Bakugo says as he struggles to escape.
"It's a capture weapon made of carbon fibers and a special alloy wire." Aizawa explains with his eyes glowing red and hair floating showing that he had his quirk active. As soon as Bakugou is able to calm down a bit, Aizawa releases the boy and keeps an eye on him.
Jirou sighed seeing Bakugou being his usual hot headed self, but she for once had to agree with him. How in the world did Midoriya get a quirk?
"Anyways. It's important for us to know our limits," Aizawa says as he shows the score to the class "That's the first rational step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll be."
"24 kilometers?!" The class yelled in shock. (It's roughly about 15 miles.)
"Whoa!! This is awesome!" One student said
"So we can use our quirks for real!! Man, the course is great!!" Another said.
'That's not you want to say around Aizawa' Midoriya thought as he looked at his teacher.
"Awesome you say?" Aizawa said catching the student's attention, "You're hoping to become heroes after three years here and you think it'll be all fun and games? Right. The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be judged hopeless and will be expelled."
"WHAT!" The whole class said expect for some few.
"I thought that kid was joking! Teachers here can actually do that?!" One said.
"Yes, you really think that U.A would let anyone who only passed one test? U.A is the best for a reason, which is why I think there are tests to push us to our limits." Midoriya explained his thoughts.
"Your fates are in our hands. Welcome. This is..." Aizawa says and pauses to show his terrifying grin, "The hero course at U.A High!!" Everyone grew determined faces to prove that they deserved to be here. Midoriya was one of those people.
Event 1: 50 Meter Dash
Everyone had gone already with the fastest time yet was done by Iida in 3.04 seconds. Midoriya and Bakugou were next and Bakugou kept his famous deathly stare on Midoriya. Midoriya notices this and rolls his eyes as he activated his quirk. He went into his second form and spread most of Dark Heart to his legs. As soon as the timer started both boys rushed ahead. Bakugou used his explosions to propel himself forward and Midoriya just ran, passing the blonde haired boy.
"2.89 seconds!"
Midoriya stopped to regain a bit of breath.
"4.13 seconds!!"
Bakugou finished a second later. He started to get annoyed that Midoriya seems to do better than him.
Event 2: Grip strength
Midoriya watched around himself to see how his classmates are doing.
"540 Kg?! Are you a gorilla? Or an octopus?!" A student asked at a boy who had multiple arms. Midoriya finally did his putting Dark Heart into one arm and gripped on the machine. He looked at it and got a total of around 910 kg. (Around 2000 pounds)
"Good enough." Midoriya said to himself.
Event 3: Standing long jump
Midoriya added more power into his legs and jumped clearing the entire pit.
Event 4: Side stepping
Midoriya did well, but surprise him was a little midget used two purple balls and bounced himself back and forth across the line.
'Pretty clever.' Midoriya admittedly thought.
Event 5: Throwing
Since Midoriya has done it already he could have decided if he wanted to retake or not. He could have gotten a bit of better score if he added all his power to his arm, but was too lazy. One person did beat his score though. It was the brown haired girl, which he discovered is Ochako Uraraka, who got an infinity using her quirk. Bakugo tried beating Midoriya's score, but only got 705 meters. Not bad, but he was pissed about it.
For the rest of the events, no one could have used their quirks to help them except for one. Midoriya was using Dark Heart in his lungs to increase his stamina.
"Moving along. Time for the results." Aizawa said to the class in his usual bored tone, "I'm just going to show your scores. Also I was lying about expelling someone."
Everyone stood still in silence.
"That was a rational deception meant to bring out the best in all of you." Aizawa continues with his infamous grin.
"WHAT?!?!" Everyone expect for a few students screamed.
"Well of course it was a lie, didn't take much to figure that out." A onyx black haired girl, named Momo Yaoyorozu said.
"He wasn't lying. He would have expelled anyone he thought didn't have potential in them. That thing I told you where he could expel an entire was true, because he was the one who did it. You guys can't have your guard down at any moment. On the battlefield or at U.A." Midoriya explain bring back the fear in the students.
'Not only did he know, he also taught them a lesson. He really is a clever brat' Aizawa thought with his grin still intact. He showed the scores to reveal that Midoriya was first and that purple midget being last at 20. Midoriya walks to get change and continues class.
After School
Midoriya was walking home with Eri feeling energized and really to train.
"Midoriya!" Said boy turned around to see Iida rushing towards him.
"Oh hey Iida!"
"Why is this girl with you? And what did she mean when she called you her father?" Iida asked. Midoriya was honestly surprised no one questioned about his relationship with Eri until now.
"She's really is my daughter, Eri. And no, I did not do anything inappropriate. She's adopted." Midoriya answered Iida's questions. "Eri say hi."
"Hi..." she faintly said. She was very shy talking to other people that isn't Midoriya. Midoriya and Nobody are basically the only ones she can actually have conversations with. Although she's warming up to Inko.
"Hey! Midoriya!" The boy looked back to see Jirou walking with the Uraraka.
"Are you two headed to the station? Wait up!" Uraraka said running towards the both of them.
'Oh! Jirou! And Uraraka! I guess it doesn't hurt to have them with us.' Midoriya thought. "It's three by the way." He said pointing to Eri on his shoulder. She tried burying her face into the green curly mess that is Midoriya's hair.
"Ah, infinity girl." Iida says to the girl.
"I'm Ochaco Uraraka! Um, you're Tenya Iida and Midoriya...um...Deku! Right!" She said with a big smile on her face. Jirou sighed.
"Deku?" Midoriya said in a confused tone.
"During that test, that Bakugou guy screamed Deku at you."
'Damn you Bakugou' Midoriya thought. "My real name is Izuku. Deku is just what Bakugou calls me to insult me." Midoriya explains as she is shocked.
"Oh! Sorry!! But Deku just screams Do your best!! I kinda like it." She said in her bubbly happy tone.
"Feel free to call me Deku." Midoriya immediately responded. This surprised Jirou and Iida, more Jirou as she knows what he had experience with that name.
"Midoriya! Didn't you say it was an insult?!" Iida asks.
"It doesn't bother me anymore. Besides I like how Uraraka changed it, I might actually use it more often." Midoriya said as Uraraka started turning pink a bit and Jirou pouted a bit for not thinking about it. Eri lightly knocked on Midoriya's head.
"C-Can I call you D-Deku to?" Eri asked. Midoriya smiled and nodded.
"Sure! Call me that during school okay?" Eri nodded. Jirou tugged on Midoriya's sleeve.
"You got some explaining to do. About that quirk" She whispered. Midoriya immediately nodded.
"Meet me at Takoba beach this Saturday. I'll explain everything there." Midoriya said.
"Also..." Jirou blushed and played with her jacks a bit out of embarrassment. "C-Can I call you Deku too?"
"Sure. I don't see why not." Jirou smiled and the four walked out together as new and reunited friends.
The Next Day
Midoriya walked into his English class and found someone he didn't want see.
'AW HELL NO!' He thought as he looked at his teacher.
It was Present Mic.
Midoriya didn't really like him at much after he damaged Midoriya's eardrums. Even without his quirk activated, the fact Mic basically screams everything annoys him. After the class Midoriya could finally relax and have lunch with Eri.
It was finally time for the afternoon class, Hero basic training. Midoriya was waiting inside in a pretty good mood until, he heard a familiar voice.
"I HAVE..." There was a pause and everyone looked at the door, "COME THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!" All Might shouts slamming the door open. Midoriya frowned at seeing his former idol. Eri looked at the All Might figure in her hand that she brought to play with and looked back at All Might.
"Pap-Deku! Look! It's All Might!" Eri voice was filled with excitement of seeing the person the world considered the best hero. However the best hero to her was the boy she was sitting on. Midoriya thought differently. He didn't completely hate him, but he thought lower of the supposed Symbol of Peace. He still liked how All Might saved with a smile and tried to help everyone, but why didn't All Might help him? That is what he didn't like about the hero. As All Might walked in he noticed the familiar green hair.
'It's him! Didn't he tell me he didn't have a quirk? How did he get into the hero course without one. There are only two options, he either lied to me or got it from "him" ' All Might thought.
"HERO BASIC TRAINING! THE CLASS THAT'LL PUT YOU THROUGH ALL SORTS OF SPECIAL TRAINING TO MOLD YOU INTO HEROES." All Might explained before pausing for a second, "NO TIME TO DALLY, TODAY'S ACTIVITY IS THIS!!" The hero continued as he showed a card he was holding.
"BATTLE TRAINING!!"
"Battle..." Bakugou started
"...Training." Midoriya finished.
AGAIN. Sorry for the delayed update. My school year is almost over with only two weeks left? Jesus, it felt like yesterday was the first day of school. Anyways, thanks for the wait and support for this story!
Now I better get back to playing Breath of the Wild and avoiding doing my homework like the plague.
