A/N: Hi guys! Huge thanks to everyone who followed, favorited or reviewed. It really helps me!

Note: The two bullies in chapter three are not OCs. They are actually in canon. However, I don't know their names, so I randomly made them up.

Anyways, here's chapter four. Hope you enjoy!

Izuku squirmed a little as he hesitated, his small hand trembling in front of the door. Katsu tsked, tapping his foot impatiently. "Just get it over with already!" Easy for you to say. Irritation sparked slightly. You aren't the one who has to worry Oka-san by telling her you're being bullied. Izuku didn't want his mom to worry so much. It was hard enough for her, raising her son alone while his dad worked overseas. He didn't want to worsen the burden.

However, hesitation was not an option because Inko Midoriya, hearing Bakugo's voice, pushed open the door of her room. "What's wrong?" she asked, peering at Izuku's worried and slightly guilty face.

"W-well, you see, some of the other kids are a little... mean to me because I'm q-quirkless, a-and maybe I should take self-defense?" I hope this doesn't cause mom too much trouble, Izuku thought. However, Katsu butted in. "What Deku means is he wants to take self-defense or kung fu or whatever shit so he can kick the bullies' asses."

Inko had been extremely worried. Her darling baby Izuku had been coming home with so many bruises and scratches lately! She tried to tell the school about the bullying, but the school wrote it off as "Boys being boys" and said that if Izuku had gotten injured, it was his own fault for being "Quirkless and useless". The meeting with the principle had ended up with Inko storming out of the office. How dare they disregard her baby for something he couldn't control!

When Izuku asked to take self-defense, she was relieved. At least he knew to stand up for himself. She couldn't help but smile slightly at Katsuki's cuss-filled explanation. Looks like Mitsuki had problems keeping her words swear-free. Well, she wasn't surprised. She scooped up Izuku and beamed, saying, "Of course!" Her heart melted when Izuku gave her a bright, cheery smile and said, "Yay!"

Meanwhile, Bakugo was forced to look away from the smiling mother and son. Too bright, Bakugo thought. He was glad that Auntie Inko agreed. At least Deku will be able to stand up for himself. Should I join in on the self-defense classes too? Bakugo pondered. That would be a good idea. Make sure Deku wasn't being bullied in classes, plus learn some fucking professional combat skills. Yep, definitely a great idea. Bakugo mentally patted himself on the back for being a genius.

Izuku looked at the looming doorway of the dojo. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" He whispered to Katsu, who was next to him. "Yes," Katsu hissed back. Oh, well. He stepped into the dojo tentatively. There were only several other kids here, which was expected considering they were several minutes early.

An orange-haired girl with teal eyes bounced over. "Hey!" she said cheerily. "Nice to meet you! I'm Itsuka Kendo! What about you?" Izuku immediately got flustered, his face so red he looked like a strawberry. OhmygoshagirlistalkingtomewhatdoIsayyyyyyyyy! Steam began coming from his head. Thankfully, Katsu covered for him. "I'm Bakugo Katsuki and broccoli over here is Midoriya Izuku." Izuku squawked in protest at "broccoli". Seriously? Broccoli? Still, all that he managed to stutter out was "N-nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too! Look forward to learning with you guys in the dojo!" Kendo grinned. They chatted for a while longer, waiting for the teacher to arrive. Izuku was absolutely fascinated by Kendo's quirk, big fist. He started rambling, thinking about all the different ways to use the quirk while noting them down on a notebook he pulled out of nowhere at Mach 20 speed.

Suddenly, the heavy thump of footsteps sounded from the hall. The entire dojo went dead silent as the children held their breath, simultaneously looking at the doorway where their teacher was going to appear. Thump, thump. The thumping grew louder and louder until a rough silhouette could be seen. Soon, their teacher reached the doorway. His loud, booming voice rang through the dojo. "WELCOME, ALL APPRENTICES OF THE HARD FIST DOJO!"

A/N: Aaaaaand done! Please note that I am NOT shipping Kendo and Deku by putting them in the same dojo. I am just enlarging his friend group slightly. So far, I have not decided on any ships, but I'm slightly leaning towards IzuOcha. If you have any criticism or suggestions, feel free to tell me in reviews! See you!
