A/N: I'm thankful that you guys have enjoy what I have written so far. Not going to lie, I have to carefully think how Izuku would act and how people around would think of him if he was also a big fan of wrestling and a wrestler himself. Then I have to be careful to how I want Izuku to be portray. Knowing that he is a wrestler, I have him being portray as a baby face who's not afraid to stood up to bullies or haters like Katsuki. That doesn't mean Izuku is not going to be cocky, but instead he's a passionate teenager who wants to show the world that he's not afraid to take any challenges and be the best out there.
Izuku may seem a bit plain and nerdy from him being alone studying pro heroes and pro wrestling. He has two different types of journals that he carries with him no matter where he goes. One journal was his hero journal; a journal that allows him to study any quirk he has come across and has his own studies on pro heroes. His other journal was the pro wrestling journal. Like his hero journal, it allows him to study a wrestling and the wrestlers who made them well known. Many wrestling styles from technical and high flying, to strong style and brawling, Izuku has study every wrestling that has existed and place them in his wrestling journal. With these journals, he was able to learn how to study many quirks and pro wrestling moves, and he carries those two journals in his backpack as he was walking his way to his middle school.
It's no secret that due to his lack of quirk, he would be bullied by those peers with a quirk. It was the norm for them as people with no quirk were considered weak or disable. Izuku has encounter his fair shares of bullies as he grows up. When he tries to call them out on their actions, normally the teachers won't believe in him or think that he is making things up like his dream of being a hero with no quirk. Even his peers believe he was weird since he not obsessed with pro heroes, but pro wrestling. Wrestling have died out due to quirks, yet there were still some independent wrestling companies who tries to show wrestling to their small audiences. Those who weren't fans of wrestling or never seen it in their lives will think of it as fake.
So imagine their surprises when Izuku used wrestling moves to actually beat up his bullies. The wrestling style he usually goes with combat was strong-style. Strong-style wrestling is typically defined as a more martial arts-influenced style of wrestling, prioritizing strikes and submissions over traditional moves. This means those bullies who would dare to bully him would end up being knock out with a stiff forearm to the face, a stiff kick to the stomach, and then a painful submission hold that prevents them from using their quirks against them. It only last a few seconds before Izuku stood tall. In some cases, he'll used other wrestling skills like technical, where he's able to apply submissions holds on weak spots of a person's quick to get them begging for him to stop, or high flying which allows him to move quick and stealthily around larger students with slow quirks. After that happens, Izuku was now being known as Gōrudobāgu almost all of his peers.
Because of that, some people will either try to be friendly with him or they just avoid him. Some think he was scary due to his muscular build. They never thought someone without a quirk will look like a professional athlete. Every time they seem in P.E., he was a beast. He even manages to rival the top students with powerful quirks, which brings us to a teenage boy with spiky blonde hair and red eyes.
Katsuki Bakugo knows that he has the most powerful quirk out of the whole entire middle school. His quirk Explosive is greatly powerful considering the fact Katsuki can uses his sweaty from his palms to create explosive strikes. Overall, no one couldn't stand a chance in his mindset, and with his ignorant mindset on others being weaker than him believes it. Which is why he hates Deku trying to show off being strong without a quirk. He heard the rumors that he can defeat a person with a quirk in less than two minutes. He never believes in the rumor and thought that Deku might have weird them out with his love of heroes and wrestling, both things that he knows should have been too far to achieve for Deku. Yet, when he was confronting his lackeys who came to him with casts on their arms and legs, he had to keep an eye on him. He knew that Deku had no quirk to be strong to take out the extras he doesn't really cares, but it was upsetting him to the point he might need to observe Deku.
It was already 8:41 am when Izuku enters the middle from the front gates. He was excited today because this was the day he was going to apply for UA. He has the wrestling skills to put use to battle villains and he has the knowledge to know what to do with scenarios based on his quirk studies. He wasn't not however aware of his peers watching him as if he was making a wrestling entrance. They either avoid his path or they wave at him. Izuku look back at those who notice him, and he reacts with his own wave while smiling brightly. He then enters the school building and walk in his class where he then stops moving. in front of him was his former childhood friend.
"Deku," Katsuki spoke first with a glare.
"Kacchan," Izuku answers back with a cheerful smile and a wave.
Their classmates were backing away behind the class as they were afraid of seeing an all-out brawl between the powerful explosive Katsuki and the Gōrudobāgu Izuku. They can feel their aura surrounding the class.
"Don't try to get in my way to become the number one hero. I'm better than you," Katsuki warned with his palms sparking.
"I won't be in your way. I'll be all around you if it means to reach for the same goal," Izuku shot back with his arms crossing.
Everyone almost had a heart attack when they saw Katsuki reacted to the Izuku's response as someone who wants to kill someone on the spot. The spiky blonde head step forward and had his forehead pressed against Izuku's. Izuku did the same, similar to how wrestlers would get closer to the opponents face to show case neither weren't afraid of one another. Katsuki was barely an inch taller than Izuku, but it didn't take away the tensing stare down the rest of the class seeing.
"Alright class," spoke the class teacher entering the class.
The teacher looks around to see everyone was already on their desk getting ready for the school day. Even Izuku and Katsuki was on their separate desks. The middle school teacher felt like something was about to go down. Maybe he was imaging things.
"Let's start by continuing with history," the teacher said.
Every student didn't pay attention to the subject itself as they were too busy on thinking who was going to win between Izuku and Katsuki. Can the explosive boy easily one shot Izuku with the explosive, or will the green nerd easily destroy Katsuki with his wrestling skills? At least the school day had an interesting start. While everyone was trying to follow the lecture, Izuku felt bored as they were going through the history of quirks. He already knows this since he was four. Quirks appears around 20XX where it was first cited at China. After that it become wide spread as most humans would develop a quirk. Still, it was very important for people to have quirks to become a hero, but some also wants to become villains. With Izuku, he wants to shows that everyone with or without quirks can become a hero. Just like how All Might has inspired him to be a hero, and how the wrestlers who proven to be the greatest wrestlers of all time like Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Natio, Shinsuke Nakamura, Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Shawn Michael, Bret Hart, A.J. Styles, Daniel Bryan, and CM Punk.
"Alright class, now that we got history out of the way, who's ready to go to UA High School?" the teacher asked with confident knowing the outcome.
Everyone in the class response by showing off their quirks, while Izuku sits there and admire some of the spirit his fellow classmates have.
"Oh please," Katsuki interrupted the cheers. "These extras has no chance in hell if they think they could go in UA. I have the strongest quirk out of everyone in this room." Everyone starts to boo him in rage while the teacher and Izuku sighs. "If all of you have a problem with that, then we can settle it right here."
Katsuki palms starts to sparks preparing to blow something up. Lucky for the spiky blonde, everyone was wise not to argue with him.
"Calm down Bakugo, we know you have a great quirk, but let everyone have the chance to showcase their quirk," the teacher pleaded his powerful student. "Even Izuku is applying for UA and he does have a bright mind to help him."
Bakugo look at the teacher with disbelief of what his ears have just heard. Izuku on the other hand was getting ready to avoid Bakugo as he stood up and move from his desk. Bakugo leap in the air and use his quirk to explode Izuku's desk. This made Izuku set a stance with his arms up and his legs slightly bend to be prepare for an attack.
"Deku!" the former childhood friend shouted in rage. "You are useless to even think about going to U.A. with me. You are below me!"
"Relax Kacchan, I want to be a hero with or without no quirk," Izuku implied with his own glare to the explosive peer. "I have always had that dream and I'll be damn if I have to give it up just because one person hates the idea of me stepping my foot there! I will show you that I got what it takes to be a hero and I'll go out there with a smile!"
Normally his peers would make fun of him for having that dream. Hack they did when he was four years old when he found out he was quirkless, but that was in the past. Because of his passion of being a wrestler was mixed in his passion to become a pro hero, he could defend himself with anyone with a quirk in his school having all the knowledge of their quirks and wrestling moves to use. Not only that, but when he learned about promos, it helps him express his feeling about his dream and help him stood up to people like Katsuki. So at this very moment, his classmates were in awe of Izuku's words as if he was like a hero. Katsuki on the other hand didn't think of his words and instead chuckled as he was walking back to his desk.
"That little shit is much confident than he used to be," thought Katsuki.
School was over for the day as everyone was already existing the school gates. Izuku was the first to exit the gate as he was running to a location. When he was running, he notices a television was broadcasting a new report of the robber that he helps Kamui Woods captured. Besides him were the pro heroes Death Arms and Mount Lady.
"It was a crazy chase, but we manage to find him thanks to a good teenage boy who assist me to find the criminal," Kamui Woods. "Wherever he is, he has done a good job to keeping the ideal of heroes still alive."
"Yes indeed!" Mount Lady cut in to get a full view of the camera. "Everyone can be a hero if they do the right thing!"
Izuku shook his head seeing that Mount Lady might be new, but she only care about fame. He felt sad for the woods theme pro hero, but he was too busy with his own priority. He continues to run an until he mange to come across an old run down gym. It looks like the gym itself has seen better days, but the green haired teenager enters through wore down door to see a group of people setting up a wrestling ring, barricades, and rows full of chairs was limited from the space of the gym.
"Izuku Midoriya, you're just in time!" Izuku turn to see a bald and short Japanese with a navy blue suit that might have cost more than the gym itself. The short man was carrying a stack of papers revealing the advertisement of the upcoming wrestling event. "I need your help advertising the main event between you and the mysterious opponent you are going to face tonight."
"Tonight, but Noko didn't we just gave a wresting show last night? I'm still pretty sore when Hammer Head use his quirk to perform a powerful bomb," Izuku said with a bit of worried.
"I know that, but an old friend of mine is a martial artist teacher and he wanted to give one of his best students to face one of my best wrestler, and you fit the bill," Noko justified his reason. "And this time is going to be a shoot match. Don't try selling for them, and instead treat this as if this was a real fight."
"A-Alright Noko, but I'm not going easy with this mysterious opponent of mine. I know so many wrestling moves to take down my opponent, so expect Alan Meltzer to rate this match a five star classic."
"I hear you Izuku, and good luck Deku," said Noko with a bright smile. "You're the future of AMW!"
Izuku exit out of the gym through the back. He found himself at the alley thinking about his current wrestling career. He debuted as Deku, the masked wrestler. Deku is a baby face wrestler who is a technical, high flying and strong style type. He can move through the ring faster than you can blink and he has carries people twice his size. Of course, he was the only quirkless wrestler in AMW, which stand for All Musutafu Wrestling. But, he was one of the big draws for the small independent company as the most popular baby face. It was surprising that Noko still has not book Deku to lose a single match since his debut. In fact, when Izuku shows his wrestling skills in a small wrestling tryout, Noko brought him in and have him start wrestling.
Noko in a way was like a father figure to him. He might be a bit overweight and greedy, yet he made sure that Izuku was okay. He even gave Izuku some extra pay in secret to help his mother. The short elder man knew that there was something in Izuku that can make anyone respect the youngster. Noko also gave Deku a small room where he can get ready for his next match against any opponents he faces. The boss goal was to grow his business and accept any person with or without quirk to join his company. They have main event guys with some good wrestling skills and promos, yet Noko made sure to show their audiences what the Amazing Deku can do in opening and mid-card matches.
Izuku though was now getting ready to become a pro hero. What can he tell Noko about this new development? Maybe he will support him going to U.A. High School. There was no way Noko was going to deny him going there after all the great times they had as a boss and employee would have. Heck, he might use this opponent to advertise AMW. Izuku chuckled at the idea, but what he didn't see was a small sludge puddle approaching him as he was going to walk forward.
