"I AM HERE! COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"

Izuku snaps straight up from drawing on his arm to see All Might (in an older costume he notices) coming through the door as he said. As soon as he sees his face, words slam in his ears to remind him. Instinctively, he covers his ears, yet he hears it so clearly.

"No, I do not believe it is possible."

Taking a deep breath, Izuku looks up again at the Symbol of Peace in an attempt to listen.

"Today, you will be taking the first real step in becoming a hero!" All Might pulls out a switch and presses it. From the wall, shelves pull out, showing suitcases with numbers as he continues, "You shall be wearing your costumes for the exercise! Once you are changed, please head to Ground B!" After his speech, the large hero runs off.

The excited students quickly stumble over each other to get to their suitcases before dashing to the changing rooms. Izuku waits for everyone to get out of the way before grabbing his own. He carries it to the changing room, hides in the stall, and opens the case up. The first thing he notices is a note on top. Carefully, he picks up the letter and reads it.


Dear Midoriya,

I noticed the weapon choice you made correlates with the bracelets that seemingly electrocute you as well. There is no way I am allowing a student to electrocute themselves to cause damage if I can prevent in. In addition to your costume, I created you a new weapon: the electric gloves. They work similar to your cuffs, except you can touch the person directly without having to carry around a staff or electrocute yourself. I still made the staff as you requested, but you don't need to cause damage anymore. Make sure to read the instructions! Don't hurt yourself any more than you have to!

Stay Safe, Little Broccoli!

Power-Loader


Little Broccoli!?

Izuku can't help but sigh at the comment. Either way, he is intrigued. Quickly, he changes into his hero costume and looks in the mirror.

Izuku's costume is a dark-green bodysuit with white stripes decorating it. A black utility belt hangs loosely around his waist, holding multiple types of bombs, medical kits, and an extendable staff. The shoes and helmet he requested specific functions for. For the small black shoes, he asked for steel-toes for powerful kicks, yet flexible shoes that enable him to spin around quickly, like in his dancing. The helmet is Izuku's shining glory. The face is blacked-out to hide his face while the rest of the mask is a matching green with a white stripe going down the center. Inside, a respirator and night vision is built inside, but the most vital is the hero/villain recognizor and recorder. The helmet has a built-in camera and microphone that can record his speech and sight. Whenever he needs, information repeated, what he said as well as the recorder, will appear in his visor to show him and help him remember. He can also record situations or tasks he needs to do in case he forgets.

The helmet will make Izuku an actual person.

Finally, long black gloves that run just above his elbows that is electric. Izuku immediately read the instructions out loud, letting the helmet memorize it before putting them on, making sure they are off beforehand. He can tell he will have to loosen the suit as it shows more of his body than Izuku is used to, but otherwise, he is comfortable with it.

Well, besides the metal weights around his neck, wrist, and ankles. He can't do anything about that, though.

Izuku steps out of the dressing room, and the other student's costume gobsmacks him.

These are all future heroes! These are the next generation of heroes! His eyes sparkle under the helmet as the crowd wonders to Ground B.

"Midoriya-kun! Is that you?" Izuku looks up to see a girl he swears he recognizes the round-face girl before him, but he doesn't remember her name. Slowly, he nods. She says, " It's so cute! Too bad, I can't see your face. It adds cuteness points!"

Izuku is glad he is wearing the helmet. Otherwise, the girl would see him become as bright as a cherry. Taking the chance, he studies her costume while taking pictures. Her outfit gives an astronaut vibe as the style is a pink and black space-suit. He notes the large and seemingly inconvenient boots. Izuku can't help but flinch at the cuffs on her wrist and collar around her neck, reminding him of his situation. However, he presumes it's to press her pressure points as he is aware her quirk is zero-gravity. Finally, a see-through visor covers her face.

"Don't tell him that! He's going to be distracted now!" A voice he recognizes! Izuku turns to face Ashido and quickly inspects her costume. Her costume, like the girl beside her, is also a bodysuit except for its splatters of blue and purple, sleeveless, and fur around the neck. A white mask covers her eyes, not benefitting her in anyway way besides looking pretty.

"Please don't distract other students from the lesson!" The stern boy yells while chopping the air. He can't see his face because of a helmet, but he can see the quirk. The whole costume of the boy is white armor, looking cool to Izuku. Instantly, Izuku thinks of a hero that looks familiar.

Ingenium - Quirk: Engine - Pipes like found in an engine protrude from his elbows, allowing him to speed up as fast as a car instantaneously. However, he is found to have difficulty turning. It is the reason air-bags are built into his suit. Possibly related to the boy in front of me as he has engines similar protruding from his calves. Different styles of the quirk, maybe? Focuses more on punching as punches would be stronger.

Izuku doesn't know for sure. Hopefully, he can keep that in mind.

"Come on, Iida-kun! No need to be so serious!" Izuku whispers the description before the name slips from his mind to his helmet.

Iida - Quirk: Engine - Pipes like found in an engine protrude from his calves allowing him to speed up like gears in a stick- shift car. He has more control compared to Ingenium. Possibly needs a specific meal to run the engines? Probably will focus on a kicking fighting style.

Everyone in the class walks out. All Might looks upon them with a bright smile on his face before speaking, "You all are starting to look like real heroes! Now we just need you to act like one! Today, we will - yes, Iida?" The stern boy, Iida, quickly steps forward to speak.

"Since we are on the same grounds as we were for the entrance exam, does that mean we will be fighting robots?"

"No. Today we will be taking two steps forward and be doing a Heroes VS. Villains exercise. The plot is this, " All Might pulls out note cards to read to the class, " A pair of villains have planted a nuclear bomb inside this building beside us. It is up to the pair of heroes to capture the villains or deactivate the bomb by touching it while the villains must protect the bomb or capture the heroes. You will have 15 minutes for this exercise. Pairs will be randomized. Any questions?" All at once, All Might is blasted multiple questions at once from the students around him, ranging from actual questions to if a cape is dazzling, "Students, settle down! I don't have super-hearing! Yes, Iida?"

"Shouldn't we choose our partners for better efficiency?" Iida asks.

"While that may seem like a good idea, for now, it isn't in the long run. Would anybody like to tell me why?" Izuku already knows the answer, but he remains quiet to avoid being picked. All Might picks a beautiful girl with a high black ponytail and rather revealing outfit with a red top that shows some of her bosom and short skirt with a book attached to it, " Yes, Yaoyorozu?"

Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation - Yaoyorozu can create anything inorganic from her body as long as she knows the molecular structure. Based on her costume, she must have skin revealed to create the object. Also, she seems to be using fat cells from her body as well as she loses weight dramatically when using her quirk. How complicated can the object get?

Yaoyorozu straightens up to give a professional speech, " Heroes don't get to choose who they work with. Likely, heroes will work with heroes from other agencies to end the problem as quickly as possible."

"Very good! Now, let's start teaming up!" With that, All Might starts pulling balls with names on it. Izuku doesn't pay attention till his name is called, " Midoriya, you will be with Uraraka."

"My luck!" He hears the girl beside him with the pink spacesuit on. A name! Izuku mutters into the microphone once more.

Uraraka - Quirk: Zero-Gravity - When all five fingers touch something, Uraraka can negate gravity, causing it to float by becoming weightless. Uraraka has demonstrated this in multiple ways, such as on her clothes and herself. I wonder if she could control the gravity specifically if she works with it.

Izuku is glad the girl- Uraraka likes him.

"The first round will be Team A as heroes against Team D as villains!"

Wait, he is Team A. Who is Team D? Izuku looks around before finding Team D.

His bully, Bakugo, is seething at him from a distance with Iida trying to introduce himself once more to the blonde. It doesn't seem to be working. Izuku takes a deep breath.

"Midoriya-kun, is something wrong?" Uraraka asks. Izuku shakes his head.

All Might clears his throat before continuing, " You have ten minutes to prepare! Everyone else, come with me!" The four students receive an earpiece before everyone leaves the group behind. Without a word, Bakugo walks inside with Iida dashing behind him. Uraraka and Izuku put the earpiece in. He is glad he already got Iida and his quirk recorded into the helmet as he immediately pulls it up. He didn't need Bakugo's entry; he already knows him.

"Do you have an idea of what to do?" Izuku thinks for a moment before a plan spills from his mouth without a second thought.

"The two will likely separate. Bakugo hates working with other people, so he will probably leave Iida to deal with the bomb and face us himself, more specifically me, as he has anger towards me. I recommend that when we find Bakugo, you go ahead and search for the bomb while I distract him as long as possible. When you find the bomb, I can force Bakugo to run back with me to where you and Iida are because I can't face him and win. I believe if we put the two together, they will have a confrontation if they didn't have one already. We can take advantage of that to get the bomb and win."

Uraraka looks at him in shock before saying, "Wow! You came up with a plan so quickly, and you didn't even stutter! So you and Bakugo know each other?" Izuku can't help going red again under the helmet before nodding, " So this is a fated battle between two arch-rivals!"

Izuku isn't sure that is the case, but he will roll with it for now.


"YOUR TEN MINUTES ARE UP! HEROES, YOU MAY START THE RAID!" All Might screams through the microphone. Uraraka and Izuku dash inside and start climbing the floors. It isn't long till Izuku hears the stomping down the hallway. He pulls Uraraka to a corner, waiting for him to attack as he is aware Bakugo knows he is there.

A few seconds trickle pass painfully before the explosions go off.

"I KNOW YOU ARE THERE, DEKU!" Bakugo yells as he blasts around the corner. Without a moment to think, Izuku runs directly at him before swinging to the right side that he is punching with, grabbing his arm with the electric gloves the throw him off. Bakugo's arm tremors as Izuku takes the chance by taking a step behind him. He pulls Bakugo's arm with him and slaps the cuff on the arm as the wrist is covered with a gauntlet. As he reaches for the other arm, Bakugo forces an explosion to his chest, causing him to stumble back and let go of him. Bakugo turns to face him, a scowl decorating his face.

"What kind of move were you trying to do there, Deku?" Izuku ignores his comment, looking around. It seems Uraraka escaped during the chaos. The first part of the plan is in action! "Answer me!" No response. "Alright then. I guess I will have to beat it out of you!" Bakugo blasts towards him once more.

Izuku quickly jumps to the side to avoid the boy; however, Bakugo quickly recovers as he attempts to attack once more. He tries to force as much distance between the two, but Bakugo minimizes it just as quickly. He focuses on dodging, for now, bending and spinning and doing just about anything to not get hurt. However, he slows down too much. Bakugo takes the chance, grabbing Izuku's wrist with one hand to keep him still and slamming his hand into his chest once more, doing a huge blast, the distance increasing as Izuku flies. Izuku quickly tucks himself into a ball to roll back on his feet. He spins around to face Bakugo, panting heavily. He can feel the burn sizzling on his chest, but he ignores it in favor of the fight before him.

"You should seriously give up, Deku. You're just going to embarrass the school, even get yourself killed!" Once again, Izuku remains quiet. His heart pounds in his chest, and his lungs beg for air, but he needs to win first. A buzz fills his ears.

"Midoriya-kun, I found the bomb. It's on the fourth floor in the middle. Iida-kun is doing a villain speech, but he has noticed me." Uraraka whispers in his ear. Izuku taps his helmet to let her know he heard. Grinning under his helmet, he runs off.

"GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME, DEKU!" Izuku can hear the stomping, the adrenaline in his veins, forcing him to speed outspeed the boy.

His lungs keep telling him to stop. His heart slams in his chest as a warning. Yet, Izuku keeps going, dashing through hallways, jumping the stairs, and cutting corners.

Finally, he arrives at his destination. When Izuku runs in, he can see Uraraka trying to chase after Iida, who keeps zooming around her.

"DEKU, THIS IS OUR FIGHT, NOT THEIR FIGHT!" Bakugo yells at him. Izuku grabs Uraraka's hand without electrocuting her and drags her to the center.

Without the other team hearing, Izuku softly whispers to Uraraka, " Be ready to react. He's about to break." He receives a nod.

"Now your plotting? What are you trying?!" Izuku remains silent.

"Yes, what are you plotting heroes?!" Iida exclaims, attempting to do a deep villain voice. Izuku can see Uraraka laughing at the attempt. He can't blame her. Bakugo growls, facing Iida.

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! JUST MOVE THE FUCKING BOMB!" Bakugo screams at his teammate.

"Even if we are villains, we don't curse!" Iida states, straightening up and unintentionally dropping the bomb. Izuku starts creeping towards it slowly.

"I DON'T CARE EXTRA!"

"You shouldn't call your classmates extras!"

"DUMBASS, DEKU IS APPROACHING YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE, " The boy suddenly raises his hand, pulling the pin out of the gauntlet, " This has been storing my sweat the entire game. It's filled and ready to make a huge hit." Izuku pales. He is well-aware of the damage it could cause.

All Might buzzes through the headsets, "Young Bakugo, you can't pull that! It will kill them!"

"NOT IF THEY DODGE!"

Bakugo pulls the trigger.

For Izuku, time slows down.

Iida is in the way. He can't let Iida get hit.

Izuku runs toward Iida at max speed before jumping him and tackling him to the ground.

He can feel the burning in his legs. Through the dust, he looks below him to see Iida safe.

Good...

"Is everyone okay?! I can't see!" All Might exclaims through the earpiece.

"I'm good!" Izuku hears from the distance, assuming it is Uraraka.

"Of course, everyone is fine!" Bakugo scoffs.

"I am fine, All Might-sensei, sir, due to Midoriya-kun!" Iida states.

Izuku shakily says, "Y-yeah..."

All Might starts his speech, " Well, the hero team has won! Everyone, please return to the watch room to discuss what has happened." Wait. What? Izuku sits up, ignoring the pain as he turns to see Uraraka touching the bomb with a proud smile on her face. Izuku starts laughing softly of relief, ignoring the pain in his chest and legs. He attempts to stand up only to crumble to his hands and knees.

"Midoriya-kun! You're injured! Badly injured." Iida states as he stands up and helps Izuku. Uraraka rushes over, flinching at the sights of his legs. Izuku looks down, seeing the clothing burnt off and blisters and blood covering them. "All Might, Sir, I believe we should take Midoriya-kun to Recovery Girl!"

All Might and the students seem to notice the damage because they can hear frantic screaming in the background of him. All Might says, " Yes, of course. Young Iida, please take young Midoriya to Recovery Girl. Uraraka and Bakugo, please come back to the observation room."


Shouta can't help but sigh as he goes to Recovery Girl's office. Apparently, Midoriya got hurt somehow (he will ask details later) that lead him there. Not only did he want to check on Midoriya, but he wanted to see if Recovery Girl has obtained any new information.

Shouta enters the room to see Recovery Girl at her desk writing and Izuku laying on his back asleep. Recovery Girl turns to face him, " I assume you're here to see what I have learned about the boy?" He nods, " Come over here then." Recovery Girl gets up and walks over to Izuku, Shouta following after.

With Midoriya back in uniform, Shouta is quick to take note of how small he is as the outfit barely stays on. How little his entire body is in general.

"Lift his arm and look at the bracelet. Don't worry about him waking up. He's going to be out till sunset." Recovery Girl instructs. Shouta does just that and raises his eyebrows at how heavy the bracelet is. He expected it to be weightless, maybe light, but this is two or three pounds, at least! "That makes up a large portion of his weight, meaning if we subtract the weight of those from the total weight, he is severely underweight. Midoriya needs to eat. He needs those weights off. Those cuffs are causing so much damage to him that it is unbelievable."

"I know. I will talk to him about all this as soon as he wakes up. Send me a message when he does." With that, Shouta looks at the boy before leaving the room.


Izuku starts to wake up, the tiredness trying to hold his lids now, but he forces himself to open them. He looks around before recognizing it as a nurse's office.

"Good to see you awake, Midoriya-kun. You were out for a while! How do you feel?" Izuku turns to the voice before seeing Recovery Girl in her seat. Realizing he doesn't have his mask on, he attempts to cover his face with his hair.

"F-fine...how l-l-long have I-I-I been o-out?" Izuku asks carefully.

"A few hours. You probably needed the sleep, dear. No need to hide your face now. You have a rather cute face after all." Izuku blushes, causing Recovery Girl to laugh.

"F-force of h-h-habit." She nods.

"Understandable. Now, Aizawa-sensei will be here in a few minutes. He has something to talk to you about." Izuku must have shown his confusion because Recovery Girl elaborates, " Eraserhead." That snaps a switch, causing him to nod.

It takes a few minutes, but Eraserhead does come, looking over Izuku before sitting at the edge. He pulls at a black marker.

"Give me your arm, Midoriya. I seriously need you to remember this conversation." It takes Izuku a moment to adjust to the bluntness of the command before giving him his left arm after rolling up his sleeve. He swears he sees Eraserhead grimace before writing a simple word on his arm.

Eat.

Izuku looks at him with confusion. Eraserhead sighs, " Originally, we thought you were just underweight. However, if you subtract the weight of the cuffs, you're severely underweight. You shouldn't even be here. You should be in the hospital. However, I believe it will do you no good as they can't help you any more than we can. You need to eat. Whenever you look at that word, eat. I know you probably forget about eating, but that will end you in an early grave. You have potential, but you have to keep your body in good shape. With the cuffs, that will be hard. We plan on getting them removed."

Automatically, Izuku looks up at Eraserhead, not caring if he can see his facial expression or not. Eraserhead looks at him with a specific look.

"Slow down, kid. We don't even know if we can do this. We are going to try everything we can to limit the consequences, at least. Right now, however, you have to keep your body up until then. Got it?" Izuku quickly nods. If it's a possibility, he is going to take it. "Alright. You should be good to go, so go home and eat." As Eraserhead gets up to leave, he turns to face Izuku, " Oh, and people care about you. I had to force the whole class 1-A out of here to go home." With that, he leaves Izuku in a shocking state.

After a few minutes of mental recovery, Izuku leaves to go home.
