Chapter 4
"Are you all right, Midoriya-Shonen? You look like a zombie"
Today was the first day All Might began to train him but now his mind was still trying to find out what the fuck has happened when he massaged his mom. And he hasn't slept a wink.
"Huh! No, nothing"
'Damn it, Focus Izuku' Izuku slap his face hard
[Quest Alert: Cleaning Takoba Municipal Beach Park]
[Quest Alert: Prepare your body to be a Vessel for OFA]
All Might already explain that in order to become a vessel of OFA he needs to have a strong body and what to do to gain that.
"Let me try something first," Izuku said as he goes through a pile of garbage, after a few moments he collect a bunch of metal scrap. He always knows that he needs to train his body and he got a skill for that.

The card in front of him is the same as before but there is no cost to pay now.
Izuku is grinning from ear to ear as he finds the hole in the system, then he quickly activates the weight cuff. Both of his wrists and ankles now have an iron cuff around them and he could feel his body become heavier.
"Midoriya-Shonen, is this also your gamer skill?" All Might ask with an interested expression.
"Yes, This Item will improve my training efficiency by 50%"
"Ho, what an interesting ability you have. Shonen"
The rest of the day was hellish. Izuku was faced with the harsh truth that his strength is lacking but he did try his hardest. So, when he returns home, he would go straight to bed which is better for him as he doesn't want to face his mom today.
…..
05.00 AM
Izuku is now fully awake with a tingling feeling in his hand. Strangely enough, he doesn't feel sore at all. In fact, he feels perfectly fine.
Izuku was now heading out from his room to the kitchen
'Ah, this must be the effect of the curse chef's life
He searches through the kitchen until he found the ingredient he needs. Izuku have never cooked before but now he knows every step to cook although he was awkward and slow. He still did every step with precision.

"Wow, I really did go all out," said Izuku as the tingling feeling have gone, he was very satisfied with the result. He never achieves anything great before but to be able to cook something tasty is now what he proud of.
"Izuku, what are you doing so early in the morning" While Izuku proudly stared at his food. Inko was coming down from her room and was amazed by the food her son prepared.
"Mom, I made some for you too."
"This is so good, Izuku. When did you learn this." Inko was beyond amazed. Her son who never cooks before was able to make all these dishes on his first try. He must have talent.
"Do you want to be a chef" Inko, while supporting her son's dream wishing he doesn't have to face the hardship and cruelty of the truth. A Quirkless Hero, who would believe that?
"No, of course not. I still want to be a Hero. And All Might is now teaching me to be one" Izuku know his mom was worried about his safety.
"Um, whatever you decide to be, you always have my support." The two of them smile at each other before finishing their meal.
When he arrives at the beach, All Might was surprised to see Izuku still so Alive and kicking. After yesterday, there is no way ordinary people will be fine. 100% will have terrible muscle pain.
"I think it is because of Gamer Body as long as my HP & SP is full, I will recover from any injuries or fatigue."
"Hahaha, this ability of yours is beyond absurd. It is cheating. All Might could do nothing but laugh at this absurdity.
"Yeah, I think so too and my status has improved a lot too"

Monday
[Quest Alert: Cook Breakfast for Midoriya Inko]
Izuku woke up again at 5 and cook breakfast for both himself & his mom. Compare to yesterday, he feels like his movement when cooking has become better and his food now has a better effect too.
[You Gain +1 DEX]
[Quest Complete]
[300G & 1AP has been rewarded]
…..
As he wakes up early, he also comes to school early. Like every time he comes in class, nobody gives a damn about him. Everyone sees him as a quirkless nobody or a laughing stock. So Izuku just quietly goes straight to sit in his seat.
"Oi Deku" It was that moment when he heard a familiar sentence, he uses to hear almost every day. But today something is different. The voice he heard now was a lot higher pitch.
When Izuku lifted his face, he was met by the figure of a girl his age coming his way. Her expression is clearly pissed. Before he could react, the girl went ahead and yank his collar up.
"How did you still fine, what the fuck did you do" her choice of words & her expression is contrasting with her cute face
"Kacchan?!" Surprised, Izuku was lost for words, and just stared at his 'Once a male' friend. Her body has shrunk from the time she was a male, now she stood at 159 cm. She was still wearing her male uniform though which is a bit bigger for her size now. her short sandy blond hair is still the same as before. What change the most was her now D-cup breasts, as expected of Mitsuki-san's daughter.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" all the students in the class who was silent until now exclaim at the same time.
"SHUT UP!" with one word from Katsuki, everyone in the class just went silent. Look like his dominance is still there.
"Now answer me, Deku" said Katsuki with a low threatening voice. His free hand is now sparking a mini bomb.
"Everyone, to your seats" save by the bell, their teacher comes at the right moment.
"I ain't done with you yet" Katsuki finally let go of her hand and return to her seat.
When the bell rings, Izuku quickly dashes out of the classroom.
"Oi, Deku. Don't you dare run away?" Katsuki shouts as she runs after Izuku. But she suddenly stop at the school gate when she saw a similar figure standing at the gate.
"Itsuka" Izuku also stop abruptly as well. Because at the school gate was a beautiful girl with orange hair tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. She was standing cross arm waiting for them.
"Izuku, do you have something you want to tell me? Huh?" The girl or Kendo Itsuka, while smiling, Izuku could tell that she was extremely angry.
"Che, Bitch-Hand."
"Haaaa? Ba-Katsuki, Is that you." Itsuka asks as she knows the only one who calls her by that name, but the one in front of her while looking similar to the boy she knows. This one is definitely a girl. When she sees the sand hair girl react, she was sure it was Bakugo Katsuki.
"Hahaha, It's really you, Ba-Katsuki. You look cute though." Itsuka starts laughing as soon as she realizes it was indeed Katsuki, her not-so-childhood friend.
"Urgh, damn it, you bitch!" embarrassed, Katsuki does not want to mess with Kendo Itsuka. Of course, she did not fear the orange hair girl but dealing with her is too much trouble. Unlike Izuku who does not fight back.
"Deku, don't you dare think that I owe you anything, You quirkless useless idiot." Katsuki said before she turns back.
[The system has deemed Bakugo Katsuki as a Perfect Match with the Tsun-Tsun Skill Card]
[Tsun-Tsun skill card has been automatically equipped to Bakugo Katsuki]
'What?' Izuku was surprised but can't do anything but curse the system for doing whatever it wants.
"Izuku, where are you going." A cold voice from Kendo Itsuka send a chill through his spine
"I saw it in the news… although everything was blurred or censored, I have a feeling it was you." Izuku know since they are young, Itsuka was always worried about his safety. She was most of the time kind, but sometimes she is strict. She was like an older sister to him. And like his mother, he would hate to make them worry.
"Sorry" Izuku can't make an excuse for himself, especially in front of Itsuka.
"Sigh, I walk you home," said Itsuka as she takes his hand and walk him home.
…..
How can she stay angry at him when he looks like a scared puppy like that, Itsuka has found out about the sludge villain incident because of social media. Although The Hero association had tried their best to disclose the information of the civilians involved. She has a feeling it was Izuku that was in the news, the one who was said to have been badly injured.
She first knows him when he was trying to protect a kid who has been bullied by that Ba-Katsuki and his gang. She was impressed by how he, a quirkless person tries his best to protect others.
…..
"Stop it you three" A five-year-old Itsuka yell at the trio who were hurting a green-haired kid.
"Why should I, I just teach this quirkless idiot to know his place." The sandy hair boy who acts like the leader of the trio said as he looks back at her. Letting his lackey to continued beat up the fallen kid.
"Then I will teach you your place too." Itsuka said as she crack her fists. She was pissed off at this brat.
"Don't, I won't let you hurt other people." Said the green-haired boy as he struggled to stand back up.
"You're an eyesore, Deku" The sandy hair Kid then turn back to hit the green hair kid again. That was him crossing the line. So, Itsuka expands her hand and hit the sandy hair boy in the face.
"Damn it, you remember this. Bitch Hand" After the fight, Itsuka is able to beat the trio because of her training in a family dojo. But the sandy hair kid has a very powerful quirk and she was dangerously close to losing if not for her experience.
"Wow, you're so strong" the green boy is back to a sitting position. "Thank you, by the way"
"Hero always helping each other, don't we." Itsuka smile brightly as she said that which made Izuku stunned. A single tear fell from his eye.
"Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere." Itsuka asks panicky.
"No, nothing" Izuku wipe his tear "I'm Midoriya Izuku" while stretching out his hand
"Kendo Itsuka, Nice to meet you"
…..
They have become friends since then. She knows about his hero complex and it always worries her because he always gets hurt. This time too, if what she has heard was correct, he nearly died. She was already calling his mom to ask about his condition. She didn't tell Inko anything though, because she know that Inko too was worried about Izuku even more than her. She may have a heart attack if she learns of the truth. So, she was fine with knowing that he was safe.
Neither of them says anything along the way to his house. They just walk together hand in hand. She could feel Izuku squeeze her hand from time to time, she knows that reaction. He acts like this when he was guilty but was unable to explain his action.
"Izuku" As they reach his home, Itsuka finally breaks the silence. Looking at Izuku's eyes before closing the gap. "I'm glad, you're okay" Itsuka is now hugging Izuku, she did have a soft spot for Izuku. She knows when the time comes, he would tell her everything. What she can do now is to comfort him. "I'll wait, Okay?"
"Thank you, Itsuka." said Izuku as he returns the embrace. He always wonders why she keeps hanging out with him because he did not deserve her one bit.
"Oh, Izuku, Itsuka-chan." Inko voice startled the pair as they quickly pull out from one another. They were caught hugging in front of his house, which was very embarrassing
"Mom, did you go out somewhere?" Izuku tries to change the subject.
"Oh, I just went jogging with Mitsuki, she agrees to help me out with my diet." Behind his mom was a beautiful lady with sand-colored hair and a nice figure. Upon seeing him, she was giving him a sly yet seductive smile, one that send a chill through his body.
"Hello Izuku-chan"
AN: Thank you for all the reviews, and to KageYomiNoRyu. Thank you for your advice, I will consider it, and to answer your question. Izuku got only one hit at the villain by throwing his school bag at the villain. All Might is the one who deals all the rest of the damage. So, Izuku only gets a little amount of EXP.
