SEASON - I

Chapter 1 - Quirkless and Adopted

The first incident was in Qingqing City. An extraordinary child was born who radiated light. After that, reports of people with superpowers popped up across the globe. No one knew what was causing these quirks and before they knew it, the supernaturals became totally normal - the world became a superhuman society with about 80% of the population possessing some uncanny ability. The streets looked like scenes from comic book, a city swirled with chaos and confusion. In these situations, a new profession dominated and collected consciousness.

It was an age of heroes.

With the rise of superpowers came explosive increase in criminal activity. While governments was stuck trying to figure out how to reform laws with quirks in mind, courageous people started performing heroic acts to keep our cities safe - protecting us against villains who abuse their powers for evil. With overwhelming public support heroes found an official place as peacekeepers overseen by the government. Those who performed the best were paid the most and gained all the fame and glory. Their careers depended on their quirk to stay in the spotlight.

At present, Mira was flipping the pages of her school book with an uninterested gaze. She yawned and checked the time. Mira was never a morning person. Sure, she would wake up if it's for her training but she definitely wasn't interested if it was for her school studies. She decided to take a break from her training today. Well, she forgot to put on the alarm and Midoriya woke her up an hour before her school started.

Getting up from her study table, Mira arranged her books and kept it in her bag. She plugged out her mobile from the charger and sat down on the bed - sending a text to her only friend in school.

Mira

Thanks for waking me up.

Midoriya

No problem, Mira. I have already left for school since you forgot to wake up today.

See you at school.

:)

*Aldora Junior High*

"So as third year students it's time to start thinking seriously about your future and what you want to do with your lives. I could pass out some career aptitude tests but" the teacher threw the papers, "why bother. I know you all want to go to the hero track!" Everyone started cheering. Everyone except for Midoriya and Mira. While Midoriya was insecure, Mira didn't want to cheer along with the other students. She found it ironic how these students were cheering about being heroes when they bully other people.

"Yes, yes you guys have very impressive quirks. But no power usage is allowed in school. Get over yourselves." The teacher said, trying to quiet down the class.

"Hey teach! Don't lump me in with these bunch of losers. I'm the real deal but these guys will be lucky to end up as sidekicks with some busted D-listers." Bakugou said grinning.

"Tch. What a narcissist." Mira grumbled and looked out of the window while the rest of the class started shouting at him.

"Hm, you've got impressive test results. Maybe you'll get into U.A. High." The teacher said checking his result.

"He's gonna try for a national school? It has got 0.2% acceptance rate. It's impossible to get into." Someone commented.

"That's exactly why it's the only place worthy of me." Bakugou said jumping up on the desk, "I aced all the mock tests. I'm the only one in this school who has the chance of getting in. I'll be popular than All Might himself and be the richest hero of all time. People all across the world will know who I am, and it all starts with U.A. High!"

"Oh yeah, Mira and Midoriya wanted to go to U.A. too right?" The teacher said checking their papers.

Everyone looked at them for a moment and started laughing.

"There's no way Midoriya can get into U.A. without a quirk right?" Someone said.

"A-Actually, they got rid of that rule. I could be the first one!" Midoriya said standing up.

"And you really think you are the only one in this school to get in U.A.?" Mira said glaring at Bakugou.

"How will you get in loser? By asking your quirkless boyfriend to help you cheat? An adopted freak like you won't even pass the written exam with your average score." Bakugou yelled and broke Midoriya's desk using his quirk. "Listen up Deku! You're even worse than these rejects you damn quirkless wannabe. You really think they'll let someone like you in when they could have someone like me?!"

Mira did help Midoriya at times, but she didn't most of the time. It wasn't that she felt scared - well a little maybe - but because she felt he should stand up for himself. And clearly he didn't stand up for himself at all during all these times. Meanwhile, Midoriya explained that he was not trying to compete with Bakugou, and only trying to follow the dream he had since childhood because he will not know if he can accomplish it if he didn't try. Bakugou said that the exam is impossible for him because he was defenseless and Midoriya will lose in the exam, as the whole class looks down on Midoriya, snickering.

"Hey Midoriya, you wanna walk home together or you have stuffs to do?" Mira asked picking up her bag.

"No I have some work, you should go." Midoriya said smiling, taking out his diary.

"You sure?" Mira asked, knowing that Bakugou was still around, and now that he has heard about Midoriya trying to get in U.A., he will be more agressive with him.

"Yeah, goodbye!" He said, concentrating on his work. Mira walked home that day having no idea about what her friends were gonna face that day.

She usually trained herself at afternoon upto 8 p.m. While walking back home with her half-drenched hair due to all the practice, Mira passed by a electronics shop and heard the news. Bakugou and Midoriya were attacked by a villain and All Might saved them.

No doubt in it, she was worried and angry on Midoriya.

Mira

What

were

you

THINKING!

You can't just run up to a villain to save Bakugou when there are heroes to do their job. You might have all the brains but where does it go when you actually need to use it? This is why I didn't want to leave you alone. You better have a proper explanation for this.

Also, I hope you are doing okay.

Midoriya

I wasn't thinking when I ran to him. My legs moved on their own and I didn't know what to do.

All I wanted was to save Kacchan.

And thank you. I'm doing fine.

Mira

How is he doing?

Midoriya

Who?

Mira

Don't act smart with me.

How is Bakugou doing?

Midoriya

Idk tbh. He was quiet after that incident.

Mira

It's not like him. I guess he's shocked. Anyways, he'll be back sooner or later. Don't worry. I know he's your childhood friend and you are worried.

Take some rest. A lot happened.

Goodnight.

Midoriya

Yeah goodnight.
