Isen sat in front of the computer in his room, deep in thought as he typed on the keyboard. His mind was on the quest he had gotten two days ago.

The first ever quest he had received since this power awoke in him so he was determined to complete it.

A notification popped up in the corner of his eyes. Quickly opening it, he read the content of the email that he had just received.


Dear Candidate,

Your application for U.A. High School's support course exam has been accepted. The exam consists of two stages; the written stage and the exhibition stage. Further details can be found below.


He let out a low sigh of relief. Within the same hour that he had received the quest, he had rushed to his room to apply for the support course exam.

Though, his grades were exceptional, he could help but fear that he would be rejected. It was human nature to have fear no matter how little it was.

'The written aspect will be easy as hell. The exhibition aspect would be the more tricky one.' For the exhibition stage, he would be required to demonstrate his skill by putting together a useful gadget that would gain the approval of whoever would be judging it.

His mind went to different kinds of machine, both practical and impractical. With Engineering at level 53 and a decent INT stat, he had an easier time than most would trying to think of an idea. Even with that, most of his ideas while ingenious, would quickly obsolete in a matter of time.

He closed the email and did a quick search online. Typing in his query, he was shown a wide array of technological ideas that were nothing but ideas at the moment.


Thoroughly going through the list, he let out a sigh of frustration as he ran his fingers through his hair. He'd been at it for over an hour and he was still stuck on what to do.

'I'm getting nowhere with this.' He thought as he got to his feet, pulling on a hoodie and a pair of shoes before leaving his room.

Going down the stairs, he met his mother groggily eating breakfast. She looked at him in surprise as he looked dressed to go out.

"Isen, you're going out?" She asked a bit confused and a bit worried seeing as how Isen rarely went out since testing out of school.

"I'm just going to take a walk outside. I'll be back before it gets too late." He answered, calming her down a bit.

"Oh okay. Can you stop at the store to pick up some groceries on your way back?" She asked causing him to nod.

"No problem. I'm off!" He answered as he exited the house.

Walking through the streets of Musutafu, he had no destination in mind. He let go of all his thoughts and focused on the relaxing breeze blowing on him as he moved.

His mind couldn't help but wander back to the reason why he went on this walk in the first place. Shaking his head of stray thoughts, he looked at his surroundings.

To his left, a shabby sign stood in front of a wrecked and dirty beach.

Dagoba Municipal Beach Park, it read.

The beach was mostly packed with unwanted junk rather than actually being dirty but they were the same thing in his eyes.

'Come to think of it, isn't this where Izuku should be training to prepare for One for All?' He thought as he walked past the sign and unto the beach grounds.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

He paused at the familiar voice screaming in the distance. He immediately activated Stealth, walking closer as his footsteps became silent and his presence disappeared.

Using the towering trash as cover, he peeked around a corner, seeing Izuku in all his scrawny might desperately attempting to pull a fridge.

Turning his gaze to the side, he saw the other person who stood by the side yelling instructions to his brother. He immediately recognized he skinny man as All Might.

"Carry that to the park entrance! Put your back into it!" The now skinny hero yelled in encouragement.

'He looks like he's going to pop a gasket.' Isen thought, looking at the barely moving fridge.

"Need some help with that?" Isen said, announcing his presence and surprising the two.

'There's someone else here!?' All Might thought in shock.

"Wait a minute..." He mumbled out loud as Izuku fell to the floor in surprise.

"Isen!? W-what are you doing here!?" Izuku cried out in shock.

"You know him?" All Might questioned, looking between the two.

"Yes! This is Isen, my brother." He answered as it finally clicked in All Might's head.

"No wonder you two look so alike! Young Midoriya, you didn't tell me you had an older brother." The pro hero said in a questioning manner, causing Izuku to scratch his head nervously.

"Actually, we're twins." He answered, looking at Isen who had been silent during their interaction.

"Should I be concerned that Izuku is out here so early in the morning with some random old man? Who are you?" Isen asked with narrow eyes despite knowing the full situation.

"It-It's nothing like that! This is...uh?..." Izuku tried to defend before getting stuck, sweat pouring down his face as he didn't know how to introduce All Might.

"Toshinori Yagi, at your service. There seems to be a misunderstanding, I'm simply aiding young Midoriya in training for the upcoming U.A. exams." Toshinori explained, extending his hand out for a handshake.

"Is that so?" Isen asked, turning to Izuku who nodded violently.

"Then forgive me for jumping to conclusions." He continued.

Isen made a show of giving him a cautious look before accepting the hand. Izuku had a look of realization as his eyes opened wide.

"That's right! What are you doing here? You don't normally come outside." He asked, mumbling the last part out.

"I needed to take a walk to clear my head. Imagine my surprise when I heard you screaming. What's up with that?" Isen asked, leveling a look at Izuku who turned nervous.

"About that...I applied for the heroics course at-" He tried to explain but Isen interrupted him.

"I already know that part. My question is, why only now did you decide to start preparing?" He asked seriously.

Both Izuku and Toshinori looked stunned at the question. Izuku opened his mouth to respond but paused, words not coming out.

"You don't need to answer me now if you can't. It's just something for you to think on." Isen continued with casual dismissal.

He had been avoiding the topic for a long while but seeing him finally training made him feel a bit insulted.

Waiting until just some time before the exam to start training to become a hero and still managing to succeed. If that wasn't plot armor at work, he didn't know what it was.

"Are you also applying to U.A.?" All Might asked, turning the topic away from Izuku who looked up at the question.

"I applied for the support course. I don't see myself thriving in the world of heroics like he does." He answered, motioning at Izuku who looked surprised before smiling nervously once again.

All Might observed the boy in front of him. Unlike Izuku, he seemed like he possessed a decent amount of lean muscle despite the hoodie covering his frame.

"I'll leave you two to your training. I want to see if there's anything I can salvage from this wreck." Isen said to the two before walking off towards the literal mountain of junk.

"Your brother is...interesting." Toshinori drawled out.

"He can be a bit complicated but he means well." Izuku defended.

"We're both quirkless but unlike me, he's a genius. He's always been good at everything. Sometimes I wish I could be as confident as him." He mumbled out.

"Young Midoriya..."

"That's why I'll train even harder to be a hero. A hero he can be proud of!" He declared loudly.

"You know he might still be able to hear you..." Toshinori said after a few seconds of silence causing the boy to quickly cover his mouth.

"Hahahaha!" He let out a booming laugh as his body buffed up, shifting to his All Might persona.

"Then let's do this!" He boomed out, causing Izuku to shake nervously.

"He could still come back!" He reminded the man urgently, All Might quickly deflating.


Walking through the junk, he couldn't help but shake his head at the amount of things people found to throw away.

He tossed a broken piece of metal behind him as he continued his search. Anything he found useful was stored in his inventory while the rest were immediately dropped.

Looking ahead, he saw a rusty car with the hood cover missing. Getting closer to it, he realized that while the car sat there collecting dust, some of the inner parts were still in decent working conditions.

As he pulled out a cable from the hood, his eyes caught something that sat inside the car. The glass was broken so he could easily see what was inside it.

It was a book.

The cover at the pages were dusty but that wasn't the important thing. That important thing was what happened when he touched the book.

Do you want to learn Drug Brewing?

Yes No

He managed to control his surprise as he read the notification. He quickly accepted as new information was filtered into his head.

Information on how to brew different manner of drugs. Unlike what he thought I'd would be, it included not only medicine but poison as well.

'Well if you think about it that way, poison can also be classified as harmful drugs.' He realized as he quickly reviewed the information in his head.

Though he wasn't planning to put himself in constant danger, it didn't hurt to have more tricks in his sleeve. He could already see many ways it could be used and in different areas.

'I guess I found more than what I expected. Maybe I should take a walk more often.' He thought with a small smile on his lips.
