Arthur's Note: The liberties that I will be taking with this work. Will be names of locations, and only showing things from the three characters perspective.

It was a sunny day at a park, a group of young boys stand near a tree. One of the boys is on his knees in pain, another stands beside him his body trembles slightly, his hair is fluffy green and freckles dot his cheeks. The boy yells out fearfully, ''You can't just beat him up cause he said you have a dumb quirk!'' The boy with fluffy green hair takes up an unsteady fighting stance, '' If you won't listen to reason, I'll stop you myself!'' Two boys begin chuckling well another stays quiet. '' what are you gonna do Izuku you don't even have a quirk.'' Says a pudgy boy.

'' Yeah, you wanna pretend to be a hero. let's get him Bakugou!" yells out the thinnest of the three boys, to the one that is still remaining quiet. Two of the boys then activate unique abilities, the pudgier one grows red dragon like wings while the thinner one's fingers extend on his left hand.

The two boys look as if they're going to charge when the one that remained quiet this far raises his hand, '' I'll deal with them both.''

The Pudgier boy's wings stop flapping and he asks nervously, '' Are you sure... you can handle both of them Bakugo.'' The young boy with spiky blonde hair glances at the two boys, his eyes emanate a silent authority, with mild irritation, he says, '' Does it look like I need help from either of you two?'' Bakugo then slowly begins walking towards Izuku, the noise of popping and smell of smoke begin exiting from his hands. As miniature explosions are created.

Izuku lies on the ground dazed and in pain with light burn marks on his skin. The boy he had tried to defend seemingly being in a similar state. His thoughts are that of frustration and sorrow, although he does not let it show on his face. I can't believe I looked so weak in front of the person I was trying to protect. This would be one out of many reminders in the boy's life.

Izuku, now in his mid-teens stands at a crosswalk in his all-black school uniform. He has his headphones in and a faint smile on his face, as he crosses the street a loud roar can be heard in the distance. Izuku checks the time on his phone before rushing over to the noise. A group of people stand staring up at a gigantic man. Izuku hears from conversations in the crowd the they giant is a purse snatcher, that got desperate when the heroes and police showed up.

He ponders while staring up at the nervous looking giant man. I wonder who are the heroes that are going to stop this guy? Hopefully, they've got a pretty good reputation. The giant villain careless with his strength ends up breaking a transmission tower, that begins falling towards the crowd. Suddenly an extremely muscular hero with silver hair, wearing a blue long sleeve tight fitting shirt that exposes his torso catches the broken transmission tower.

Both Izuku and the crowd stare at him with awe and recognition. He thinks pleased, Death Arms he's pretty popular locally not bad either.

Another hero then joins the fray, He wears a stylized fireman's uniform with red gauntlet that resemble fire hydrants. Back Draft, muses Izuku the hero shoots water out of his fire hydrant like gauntlets. He then manipulates it to create a rope of water to keep the crowd back, he briefly says, '' Everyone stay back.''

A third hero swings over the crowd, he wears a short sleeve navy blue jumpsuit with a wooden mask and boots that resemble the same texture. Young teenage girls fangirl in the crowd saying, '' Kamui Woods where your biggest fans!'' Izuku things excitedly he hasn't been doing this for very long and he's already this well liked. If he's able to apprehend that villain it'll look good for his public image. Kamui Woods begin swinging around the villain with whips of wood produced out of his arms. Before landing on a halted train, He begins speaking but Izuku is too far to here.

Kamui's wooden hand begins separating into individual branches. Izuku assumes expectantly, this must be the move he is going to use to apprehend the villain. A loud voice emanates before he has a chance to use his move to apprehend the villain, '' Canyon Cannon!'' With that a gigantic heroin with blonde hair purple horns, dressed in a purple and cream-colored bodysuit dropkicks the villain unconscious.

She then poses provocatively while exclaiming to the onlookers, '' Piece of cake for the world's new hottest hero. Hi everyone I'm Mount Lady.'' Izuku impressed seeing this proclaims, '' That's one hell of a way to start off your career!''

Sites like these had become common in Japan and around the world, ever since several years ago when a baby born in Japan began emitting light from its body. After that people around the world began developing extraordinary abilities, now known as quirks. With now 80% of the population being born with some unique ability. It was natural that certain individuals would begin abusing their newfound power, with governments struggling to restructure laws around quirks vigilantes began fighting against those who overuse their powers. future generations would call them heroes, which would then become the biggest occupation in the world.

...

After watching the heroes apprehend the villain Izuku makes his way to Aldara Junior middle school. Most of the day is uneventful with Izuku half paying attention in class, sitting in the last period of the day he pretends to be asleep putting his head on his desk, when in actuality he is looking at the latest trending hero on his phone.

Bakugo sits much more openly about his lack of interest in the lesson. With his foot on his desk arm slung over his chair, while he scrolling through his phone. The teacher begins talking to the class excitedly, '' I could pass out these career aptitude tests. But what's the point, you all wanna be heroes!'' He then throws the papers in his hands up into the air, with the students cheering while showing off their quirks he lightheartedly says, '' now, now, no quirk usage at school.''

The teacher begins looking through papers on his desk he stares at it for a moment before asking curiously, '' you're trying out for UA Midoriya?''

Hearing that Izuku's classmates begin laughing mockingly. Hearing this he quickly puts his phone away and sits up with a bit of a nervous smile he says, '' there is no harm in trying.''

One of his classmates still laughing replies mockingly, '' Yeah, there is. You don't even have a quark not to mention, you'll die in the exam!'' Izuku shows little reaction to this other than a faint nervous smile. His classmates continue laughing at his expense, Bakugou suddenly slams his foot on his desk creating a loud thud that emanates throughout the classroom. The other students gradually begin to quiet down, Bakugou then looks up from his phone glancing at his classmates with an irritated expression, '' The lot of you're being too loud!'' The teacher seemingly unfazed by this carries on looking through papers.

After a few short minutes he then asks casually, '' You're trying out for UA to Bakugou.'' Bakugo, still focused on his phone and not interested in the question gives no response. The other students hearing this begin quietly whispering amongst themselves.

As the period comes to an end students began walking out in their respective friend groups. Izuku grabs his backpack and is about to leave when he's approached by Bakugou and his two lackeys, who both have smug smiles on their faces. His thoughts are a combination of nervousness and curiosity, He hasn't talked or interacted with me ever since he beat me up when we were little. I wonder what he wants, wait, he's probably pissed about me trying to get into UA. He then speaks in a mildly nervous tone, '' hey Bakugou, I'm not trying to compete with you or anyt...'' He's interrupted by Bakugou who replies coldly, '' I don't care that you're trying to get into UA, but I hope that you're aware that you won't get in. Even by some small miracle if you manage to get in, the only use you'll have is as cannon fodder.''

Bakugou then walks out of the classroom his lackies following behind him with surprised expressions. Izuku gives no reply other than an awkward smile and a dry laugh.

As Izuku approaches the gates of Aledra junior High, he begins to recall painful memories from when he was far younger. He looks down his face coming to a front for a short moment. Before it changes to a smile but his posture remains unchanged.

A much younger Izuku can be seen energetically running through his living room towards his mother. She is a woman of average height with long dark green hair, that run slightly past her shoulders. She wears a white button up shirt with a salmon-colored sweater and a blue skirt. Izuku begins jumping up and down with excitement, '' Come on mom it's computer time! I wanna see the videos of the 10 again.''

'' Geez already?'' replies Izuku's mother Inko lightheartedly. The two then walk Into Izuku's bed room. The decently sized room has posters of Japan's top ten heroes hung throughout its walls. With four action figures of Japan's top 10 on the same desk as the PC. While Izuku sits down on the chair Inko sets up a series of four videos while saying jokingly, '' I don't know why you like this so much Isn't it a bit scary? Izuku replies although he is fixated on the video playing, '' Not really everybody loves these guys and they're super cool.''

The videos that play show the heroes performing incredible acts such as: The number two hero Endeavor preventing a train from running off a broken bridge, with his fire quark. The rank eight rabbit hero Mirko preventing a family from being killed by a car thrown by a villain. The Rank 9 dragon hero Ryukyu preventing a bus from crashing off a bridge. As well as the number one hero All Might rescuing dozens of people from a partially destroyed portion of a city.

Izuku says with certainty, '' Once I get my quirk I'll be as cool as all of the ten combined!'' Inko hearing this exits the room with a faint smile.

...

'' It seems like young Izuku here won't be developing a quirk.'' Says a bald doctor with a bushy mustache and big goggles. Inko asks with worry, as her and Izuku sits in the doctor's office, '' Are you sure? Most of the kids in Izuku's class have begun developing their quirks. Are there no other tests that can be done.''

The doctor gets up from his slouched sitting position and points to an X-ray of a small foot, '' It seems for my records that you are 4th generation quirk users, what abilities do you and the boy's father possess?''

Inko replies casually while demonstrating her powers, '' I can pull small objects towards me and my husband can breathe fire.'' The doctor then continues saying analytically, '' Usually Izuku would develop a combination of both or one or the other. We've been able to figure out through tests and studies, that the likelihood of developing a quirk is link to the joint in a person's foot.''

The doctor then begins tracing along the X-ray with his finger, '' Those born with quirks have only one joint in their pinky toe, and their bodies have become more streamlined. Izuku here has two similar to the rest of the 20% of the population. With the current information we have now it's unlikely that he'll ever develop a quirk.''

Izuku sits frozen in shock barely able to listen to what's being said around him.

...
Izuku sits in the dark in his room, Inko opens the door slowly, checking in on him. She sees him watching the video of the rabbit hero again. With a shaky voice he says, '' they're so cool and everyone loves them.'' tears begin to well up in his eyes, '' But I don't think I'll ever be able to be like them.''

Inko rushes over to him, she hugs him while sobbing and proclaiming frantically, '' I'm sorry Izuku, I wish things could be different.''

Izuku looks at the video while in his mother's arms. The rabbit hero can be seen fighting a villain with a smile on her face, despite having a dislocated shoulder a crowd of people and the family from before can be seen watching.

Young Izuku thoughts are resolute, heroes don't show their pain in front of others.

Izuku walks with his head down and a faint smile on his face, still on his way home. He reaches a dark underpass and begins walking through it. As he reaches halfway his movements begin to become a lot more sluggish, and his faint smile changes to that of a quivering frown. He begins to recall the mocking of his classmates and the words of Bakugou. He almost collapses on the side of the wall and begins sobbing, '' I know... Better than anyone! That I can't... Become a hero!''

'' but even so I can't let anyone see how much it hurts. Cause...if they did see it. It would hurt so much more knowing that they knew.'' Izuku still deep in sorrow is unable to notice the large mass of gelatinous fluid sneaking up on him.

'' You'll make a good skin suit!'' says a massive fluid in a gardley voice. It then launches at Izuku enveloping his body, his thoughts quickly become fearful No, I can't let anyone see me like this! He then begins desperately clawing at the mass of fluid to no avail. The villain begins forcing his sludge body down Izuku's throat, ''I need to get out of here didn't know he'd be in town. Would you stop struggling!'' Growls the villain clearly agitated. Before Izuku loses consciousness he is able to feel a powerful blast of wind that forces the villain off his body.
