Ok here we go with chapter 4, by far the longest chapter so far. I probably should have mentioned it earlier but Izuku's masters are comparable to one punch man characters and they have been training their whole lives and have mastered fighting styles from all over the world. Michiko who is a master martial artist but her true strength lies in swordsmanship, couple that with her speed technique and she's a combo of atomic samurai and flashy flash. Keizo on the other hand is a pure martial artist and doesn't rely on weapons and if I had to compare him to anyone it be Prime bang or awakened garou. So when he broke his limiter they way his body felt rather that what he did is what made them worry at first, it's that anime troupe that fighters can learn about each other by fighting.


Chapter 4 New friends and resolve

Izuku and his new friend Takumi Fujiwara or as he called him Taku, had become quite close over the past year they had been classmates. He was seated right beside Izuku in the back of the class and when the two started talking it turned out that they shared a lot in common. Taku was also a bit of a nerd but not in the same way Izuku was, more like a super genius kind of nerd. His quirk Process, was a mutation type that allows his brain to process a lot of information really quickly and retain it, allowing him to learn the most difficult of things very fast. He once told Izuku of how after reading a book on advanced engineering and artificial intelligence in less than an hour, he built a little robot whose sole purpose was to pass butter and pour syrup on his pancakes. And that was just one of many things he has built, from a drone to deliver him lunch from the best eatery in Tokyo, to his own private monoplane. He came from a very wealthy family as his father was the head of the company that controlled all of Japan's internet services and his mother was a successful actress who starred in some of the biggest films of the last decade. Taku was usually at home alone with his grandfather whom he shared his quirk with who introduced him to inventing and was a renown inventor himself. He chose to attend public school in the hopes of making friends, not that he needed the education thanks to his quirk.

The two boys walk down the street headed to school, after seeing a villain act up downtown Izuku insisted that they had to watch the fight. Taku didn't want to at first until he saw the literal giant booty of Mt. Lady, this was turning into a good mourning.

"Yo Izu, how's the training coming along?"

"It's going great, I feel really good Taku. The U.A entrance exam is in ten months and I feel I'll do great. I feel so much stronger, so much more in control and just all around peaceful."

"Good to know, who would have thought that a quirkless anomaly like you could even exist in this world."

"I truly just feel like it's just my effort paying off."

Still having some time, they make their way to a newsstand and Izuku buys a hero magazine. " Hey, the new interview with All Might is in here!" he said excitedly.

"You ever think that All Might just recycles the same lines in his interviews?" Taku asked. "I mean I've seen enough to realise that the media tends to ask him the same questions, they just reword them differently."

Izuku chuckles and looks at his friend, "Well there is some truth to that, there isn't really anything bad the media has had to say about All Might, he is everyone's hero."

"Everyone's hero, that sounds like the name of a movie, 1,000 yen says that'll be the name of his bio flick." Throwing his arm over Izuku's shoulder, "Well we'll see who everyone's hero is once you go pro Mr One….Punch Man!"

"Please don't call me that." The green boy said, slightly annoyed.

"May as well embrace the name bro because I swear the name you want won't be the name that sticks."

"Deku doesn't have to stick because it won't even be there". Came a voice that made Taku's pleasant expression change. Turning around they both saw Bakugo, Tesaki and Hashiga coming their way.

"Didn't know that eavesdropping was one of your favorite pastimes Bakugo?" Taku said, clearly not wanting the blonde near him

"You idiots are loud and you're in front of me, by the way don't walk ahead of me loser."

"Ok, couple things, first, my grades are way better than yours and I'm smarter than you so how am I an idiot? Second, if I'm standing in front of you you're going the wrong way as the school is behind you, and third, I'm both smarter, richer, more popular, likable, talented and better looking than you so how am I the loser?"

The blonde grit his teeth like he was about to explode before Izuku stepped in, "Come on you two it's too early in the morning and there is no need for any of this. How are you three doing this morning?"

"Shut up Deku!" Bakugo yelled before walking past the green boy to the news stand, and at that same moment he sensed something coming towards him, reacting purely on instinct he swats it away.

Ow! Came the pained the voice of Tesaki as he retracted the long finger that was just a moment ago reaching for his magazine.

"What were you doing?" Izuku asked the hurt boy.

"I was trying to see what you've got there, I think you broke my finger." he responded, still nursing his finger.

Izuku looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow, "And that's how you ask? And sorry for that, it was a reflex. If you had asked me like a normal person I would have said that it's a hero mag, the most recent interview with All Might is in here as well as some new heroes." he said with a smile.

"Don't tell me you still want to be a hero Midoriya?" Hashiga asked mockingly

"Why wouldn't I? It's my dream and it's what I've been training for all these years for." Izuku responded calmly, still wearing a smile.

"I mean with Katsuki it makes sense but you still don't have a quirk. It doesn't matter what training you've done, they'll never let you in the hero course without a quirk."

Izuku locks eyes with the other boy before speaking, Hashiga, are you just saying that because you don't think you could be a hero if you were quirkless? Everything I've done requires some serious effort, I've gone to levels most sane people wouldn't attempt. I remember when we were little we all wanted to be heroes but how many of you would try if you didn't have a quirk or regardless of what your quirk was?"

The other boy's looked at him in shock, Hashiga took a deep breath, "Some of us accepted reality Midoriya, you should do the same before you get hurt."

"Thanks for the concern but I've come too far to give up now." he ended his sentence and he and Taku continued to walk to school all the while the ash blonde listening from behind them couldn't even speak.

At the Rising Sky Dojo

Michiko Tabihara speaks on the phone with an unknown person, "Yes, I will be there this afternoon. I have other engagements to address this morning so I won't be there until later so just let her know, and one last thing I plan on bringing my top disciple with me that won't be an issue will it? Yes, it's a boy, and I've been training him longer than her and can attest to his character. Ok then we'll see you this evening." She hangs up.

"This is gonna be fun." she says with a mischievous grin

"So you're really gonna do this?" came the voice of her older brother.

Turning to face him, "Of course why not? I think those two would be a good fit for each other, and they would look so good together. Hell, as their teacher, who would be better to know than me?" She said with glee.

Keizo chuckled, "Well your matchmaking magic isn't perfect you know.

No no no you can't blame your divorce on my matching skills, after I get you together your on your own." She retorted.

Keizo raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on his heart, "Damn, low blow! He said dramatically

"You started it.


Aldera junior high

"Ok your all third years, so it's time to start thinking about your futures. I could pass out some career aptitude test's, but who am I kidding I know you all wanna go to the hero trek!" The moment these words left his lips every student in the class began to show off their quirks, " alright settle down everyone you know your not allowed to use your quirks at school."

"Teach, don't lump me in with these bunch of losers. I'm the real deal but the rest will be lucky to end up side kicks to some busted D-lister." Said an arrogant Katsuki Bakugo.

"You think you're better than us Katsuki?!" said one of the students. "Bring it on, I'll take you all on." He said the smug blonde.

The teacher upon looking at his board of the schools the students were interested in going decided to speak, "You want to go to U.A right Bakugo?"

This question shocked the whole class as many of them were surprised that he was trying for the national school. It was the best hero school in the country and it had a 0.2 acceptance rate, it was impossible to get in.

"U.A is the only pace worthy of me extras, I aced all the mock test and im the only one from this crappy school that has a chance of getting in, Ill surpass All Might and be the richest hero of all time! And it starts with U.A High!

"Yeah, didn't you want to go to U.A to Midoriya?" These words stunning the blonde in his gloating.

"Yes sir, that is the plan. Izuku said with a smile. His smile and confidence didn't fade even when the entire class minus Taku burst into laughter.

"Eat shit Deku!" Bakugo roared as he slammed an explosion on Izuku's desk, breaking the top in two. The greenette didn't flinch at all from this, only giving a serious look. "Why would you do that?"

"Where the hell do you get off putting yourself on the same level as me!" He mocked with a sneer, this clearly another attempt to get Izuku to fight.

"My wanting to go to U.A has nothing to do with you, it's where I've always wanted to go, it's where All Might went and I will too." He said calmly, shocking the whole class. But it only infuriated the explosive teen.

"Really! You're worse than the rest of these extra's, screw having a weak ass quirk you don't even have a quirk, you could never hang with best you quirkless loser!" he roared and the laughter of the class died a little bit.

Looking up at the explosion boy who was still standing on his desk, "So you say, but I won't know anything until I try now will I. And will you please get off my desk Kacchan? That's not safe or sanitary. His calm tone again shocked the class and pissed off the blonde. Tiny explosions started to appear in bakugo's hands, he was about to attack the greenette when.

"Alright that's enough, Bakugo get back in your seat." The teacher said in a stern voice, the blonde did it though it was clear he was on the verge of exploding.

After classes ended

"Hey you wanna go to karaoke?" One of the girls in the class asked Takumi.

"Sorry but not today, I got this new invention I'm working on with my grandpa but you're welcome to come if you want?" As this conversation was going down Izuku was looking through his phone seeing that the fight from this morning had made the news. He jotted a few notes down in his hero journal and was about to pack up to leave when he was blocked by bakugo and his cronies.

"Our conversation from earlier isn't over deku?" He said, quickly snatching his notebook.

"Wait, that was a conversation? I thought it was just another cheap attempt to stroke your ego?"

The other boys looked at the journal bakugo had statched, "Hero notes for my future, wow really Midoriya!" Higashi said as they all began to laugh.

"Whatever, there's nothing wrong with being well rounded, Kacchan please give that back." Izuku said, outstretching a hand. The blonde boy looked him dead in his eyes before slamming the notebook between his palms, burning it."Why, would you do that?!" Izuku said in a shocked irritated voice, the blonde still having said nothing and making eye contact again, tosses the book out of an open window. The greenette looks at him with a face of shock and pointing his arms at the window in an animated fashion, "Really! Who does that?!" He says before going to the window and seeing his book landed in the koi fish pond outside. He sighs a deep breath before turning to the blonde, "You wanna tell me why you just turned my dreams into fish food?"

"You know what they say about all the top heroes? What they all had in common? They all showed promise during their school days. I was the first and only to come from this second rate middle school, and I want the term U.A graduate to go along with It. Then people will start talking about me like that, they'll know I'm legit, the next big thing, so you see deku, forget about U.A." He ended this sentence with an attempt to touch Izuku's shoulder but he swatted it away.

"I've heard enough. So what you're saying is that I should give up on my dreams and disregard all the hard work I've put in just because your ego needs me to?" The other boy only glared at his response, "It is admirable that you want to be mentioned in the same breath as every other top hero Kacchan it really is, but what would make for an even better story? How about a quirkless kid whose dreams were constantly stomped in the dirt but with unending hard work, optimism and determination he became a fearless hero greater than any of those with quirks. I like the potential stories about him a lot better, so sorry, but I'm going to U.A, I'm going to be the best hero I can be, and i'm going to help a lot of people. And if that bothers you it's the embodiment of a personal problem." He said, not once breaking eye contact from the blonde who's arrogant smirk turned into a scowl of pure rage. He walked past the green boy but stopped at the door with his still shocked cronies behind him.

"Tch, get this through your fucking head nerd. A quirkless deku like you can never be a hero so stay out of my way and quit messing with me before I kill you. U.A will never accept a quirkless failure like you when they can have someone like me. But if you want a shot I know of a way you can get in, try taking a swan dive off the roof and hope you're born with a quirk in your next life." His last statement carried an air of smugness. The greenette took in his words and though knowing this was just another sad attempt to provoke him to fight, a part of him wanted to let it slide like with most atrocities that came from his mouth, but not with these. Turning around to face the explosion teen, "Yeah, what? He smugly said, his hand forming little explosions.

"You said earlier you were going to be a hero and surpass All Might, but what hero would say that to someone?" His green eyes piercing Bakugo's soul. The deplorable words that come out of your mouth on a daily basis maybe you're the one who should forget about U.A, make that the hero course in general." he started walking towards the blonde, eye's unflinching. "You have a strong, flashy quirk but you're the furthest thing from a hero. Here's some advice of my own, give it up Katsuki Bakugo, because with that villainous personality of yours even if you make it in i'm certain you'll just get kicked out." He was now standing in front of the other boy, the shocked expression on his face spoke volumes, Bakugo had nothing to say, "Now excuse me I have to go get my book." He said leaving the stunned boys in the classroom.

Making it to the pond outside, finding the koi fish nibbling on his notebook, "It tastes that good huh guys? Ok give it here." He joked as takes his notebook from the fish. And begins walking to the dojo, he decides to take an alternate route so as to not potentially run into Bakugo after school. He was crossing under a bridge when he heard a rumbling sound and he sensed malice. The rumbling came from a sew cover that just burst open and a liquid form came out. He noticed a pair of eyes in the liquid and it hit him that this was a person with a liquid mutation quirk.

"Ah, a perfect body, I can tell just from looking at you that your strong, I'm gonna need your body kid, so just give it up before HE shows up,"

"He?" Izuku thought.

The villain shot several tentacles of sludge at Izuku but he merely adjusted his body to dodge them as the sludge was way too slow. "Just who are you running from? And what did you do to have what I can only assume is a hero chasing you? Izuku asked as the villain retracted his tentacles.

"Why the hell does that matter?" The villain roared as he lunged at Izuku but he did a butterfly flip with the villain completely missing him. When Izuku landed the same sewer cover burst open to reveal a man, he was wearing a white shirt with green cargo pants but he was someone Izuku knew all too well, speaking his iconic line. "Fear not citizen you're safe now, because I AM HERE. Detroit, Smash! The villain quickly dissipates from the force of All Might's attack; he quickly and thoroughly collects the villain in a water bottle.

"Good job staying calm young man, this villain had given a bunch of pros a hard time earlier today, but you kept your head. He said, flashing his toothy smile.

"Thank you for the praise, I've had some good mental training." Izuku responded as humbly as possible.

All Might was preparing to leave but Izuku had to see where he stood on something. "Hey All Might, can I ask you something?"

Sure, I believe I can spare a minute or two, what is it?

"Well the thing is, Can you be a hero if you're quirkless? I've always wanted to be one, I still believe I can be and I've been working most of my life for that goal. People love to mock and berate me just for trying because I'm just a normal kid. So can I be a hero like you even if I don't have a quirk?"

All Might took a moment to ponder his words, and the look in the young mans eyes tells him that he really wants him to say yes. But, growing up quirkless himself and having the same dream of being a hero he couldn't help but think what would he be if he hadn't met his master and received his power. The many years of being a pro had taught him that it is a very dangerous place, and not a place for someone without some power to defend themselves.

"Young man, I'm going to be straight with you. The world of heroics is very dangerous and without a quirk of you own I don't think it would be best for you to be in it, I'm sorry. It's okay to dream, and I can tell from looking at you that you've worked hard, but realistically you can only get so far when you're facing a powerful villain with a strong quirk. You should look for another career path. I have to get this villain to the police, take care." He said before jumping away, leaving a green haired middle school boy standing there. He wasn't too shocked to hear All Might's words but to hear them come from his hero made it sting more than anything his peers had said or done. He desperately wanted to scream in the direction of the hero that he was wrong and that he would make it happen but he remained silent. Of all the times his dreams had been rejected, crushed or just stomped in the dirt this had hurt the most.

Forcing a smile on his face one thought entered his mind "Just watch All Might."


Dragging his feet to the dojo he finds Michiko waiting for him at the entrance with a gym bag.

"What took you so long?"

"Just got caught up in a few things on my way here." He answered

Michiko looked at her student and sensing the sad state he was trying to hide only replied with "Uh huh" with a raised eyebrow. "Well anyway we're going to do a special kind of training today so we're headed to the train station."

Izuku raised an eyebrow, "The train station, where are we going?"

"Questions for later let's go"

The master and student walked to the train station and got on just in time, luckily there weren't too many people on the train so they were able to sit down and enjoy their ride. It would be about an hour till they got to their destination, the master was on her phone and Izuku was in thought, he was clearly sad about something and his sensei decided to address it. "Ok spit it out, what's bothering you?" Demanding an answer from her disciple, "I met All Might on the way to the dojo, I bumped into a villain he was chasing."

"I figured you'd be more ecstatic having met your hero what happened?"

"I asked him if I could be a hero without a quirk?" Michiko dropped her expression knowing where he was going with this, "I see."

"Well, so what Izuku! Drop the sadness right now, you know that All Might, just like any other idiot who has doubted you, is just speaking from a place of ignorance."

Izuku cupped his hands together, "I know that it's just, having my hero be another to denounce my dream just hurts differently you know."

"Yeah, When someone you idolize doesn't acknowledge you it can sting, I know what that's like. Still, none of that matters." This made Izuku look at her, "Both Keizo and I have believed in you from day one and more importantly you believed in yourself, that, more than any other factor, has made you what you are today, so screw All Might."

Izuku couldn't help but feel warm at his master's words, "Pretty sure you can't say anything bad about All Might." He said jokingly.

"Just making a point."

They went silent for a few minutes before the student chose to speak again. "So where are we going anyway? You never said."

"Oh, we're headed to a place just outside Aichi prefecture, you're going to be my assistant while training another student."

"I didn't know you gave lessons outside the dojo."

"I usually don't, but the money to train this particular student was so good I couldn't pass it up."

"Was it just the money?"

"At first yes, but if i'm being perfectly honest this student had a well of natural talent that I just had to bring out, unlike you, this student was a natural genius in everything I had to teach." She said, the pride in her voice at every word. "My second best disciple next to you."

The train had arrived at the station, upon exiting they began walking to their destination. "So how long have you been training this particular student? Izuku asked.

"I have been coming here 2-3 times a week for the past 5 years, I usually come in the mornings but I had some business today, so we're here in the evening."

They continue walking until they come across a road with a brick fence that covers several city blocks, they walk further along the road until they come across a huge gate with an intercom. The master walks up and presses a button. "Yo, I'm here, you wanna open the gate for me?" "Hello madam, it's good to see that you have arrived, and I assume the young man with you is the one you mentioned earlier?" Said a male voice from the intercom. "Yes, this is my number one disciple now open the gate please."

The huge gate slowly opened allowing the two to walk through and pass the gate was another road that led somewhere.

"So, I assume this student is very wealthy, just who are they anyway? Izuku asked.

Michiko was walking in front of him, the student's name is Yaoyorozu, and as I said earlier we've been training together for the past five years."

"What disciplines did you teach?"

"Leopard and dragon style kung fu, pressure point fighting, bojutsu, kenjutsu and Wushu, I also threw in the speed technique because why not."

Izuku was taken aback by all the training Yaoyorozu had done over the past five years and he was now eager to meet and test himself against his sibling student. " Wow, with all that he must be really powerful."

Michiko, catching his words, chuckled a bit. He? Oh I didn't mention it earlier? Yaoyorozu is a girl, the same age as you actually." She ended this sentence with a devilish grin that Izuku didn't see.

"And here we are!" She stated, Izuku looking forward as a giant mansion that resembled a palace finally came into view. The place was huge, being the kind of house you only read about in books and someone like him was about to enter it. His shock still reeling, his teacher encouraged him that the first time is always a shock, and makes you realize how poor you are. He wasn't too thrown off actually as it was only a bit bigger than taku's house which he had been to many times, and if it was anything like Taku's place then it would be bigger if there was a lab somewhere under the house.

Upon reaching the front door and ringing the bell they were greeted by a tall man dressed in a black suit, he had brown hair and was wearing glasses, his eyes were also closed for some reason.

"Hello Saikawa, good to see you, this is my top disciple. Is my other student ready?"

The man spoke, never opening his eyes, "Yes, the mistress is currently waiting for you doing warm up exercises in your usual training spot in the garden".

"Thank you, let's go Izuku", she beckoned her disciple. Pointing in the direction of the nearest bathroom Izuku changed into the outfit his teacher had brought for him, it was the outfit he usually wore when training in wing chun, after changing and meeting his sensei in the living room. The two walked through the house giving Izuku an idea on just how big the place was and even more so wandering what kind of person this Yaoyorozu was. Walking to the back of the house going past the pool area they finally make it to the garden, all around them there were hedges trimmed in the shape of various figures. And all the way at the end was a clearing with lots of space in and the center was a girl. She was going through various motions and techniques, her movements were so fluid and smooth, from the distance away they were, he could spot no flaw in her technique. As they got closer he began to take in the full figure of the girl in front of them, and she was absolutely breathtaking. Her hair was in a spiky ponytail with a blade of hair that ran down the right side of her face, her eyes were cat like and onyx in color making her face stunning. Her chest and overall figure were curvy and maturely developed, made evident from the outfit she was wearing, a kung fu outfit with a red short sleeve top, black pants and tai chi slippers. Finally noticing the two approaching the girl finished her last set of movements, taking a breath and addressing her sensei.

"Hello sensei, I just wanted to warm up before we began our lesson." The girl stated, bowing her head.

Michiko and Izuku finally step into the clearing, "That's perfectly fine Momo, and I can see your technique has improved a bit. And also this is my number one disciple, he'll be assisting us in our training today." she said, ending this with a hard pat on Izuku's back as if to say introduce yourself.

"H-hello, m-my name is Izuku Midoriya, it's nice to m-meet you." He mentally cursed himself for stuttering, something he hasn't done in a very long time, and with his friendship with Taku who is popular with girls, he has been able to talk to many girls at school and the dojo that he has found attractive. But this girl, she was by far the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

"It's nice to meet you as well, My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, thank you for coming today and since you're sensei's top disciple I hope to learn a lot from you." She said, giving a welcoming smile.

The master watched the first iteration between her top two student's and thought, "That went about as well as I expected." Clapping her hands together, "Okay. Momo, we'll get to our weapons training later but my reason for bringing Izuku here was so you could spar with him. You've gotten too comfortable just facing me so I figured testing yourself against someone else who is also the same age as you would give you a new perspective."

Momo nodded, accepting her teacher's words, "I understand sensei."

"Izuku, you're the best test for her that I could think of to decide her training in the time we have left, so take this seriously."

"Ok master." He said rearing to go.

A mischievous grin formed on the older woman's lips, "And don't hold back or go easy on her just because she's pretty."

Izuku's face suddenly turned beet red, ' R-right!"

They both step into the circle of the clearing, they both get into their respective forms, a wind blows by as they eye each other. Momo strikes first, coming at him at sonic speed, her right leopard fist comes for his face but he deflects, he counters with a left punch but she pops it away. They go into a dance of striking, dodging and countering for about a minute, Momo, after dodging one of Izuku's right punches grabs his arm, spinning and throwing him the boy skids when he lands and before Izuku can recover momo is already flying at him and kicks him twice, using her second kick to jump off of him. Landing she comes back but Izuku is ready, Momo unleasheshes quick strike after strike, Izuku dodges and deflects them all, catching momo's right wrist he spins her hitting her side with a barrage of hard punches before tossing her away. Momo flips back up looking for her opponent but he is nowhere to be seen as her feet are swept from under her. She falls forward, her ample breast cushioning her fall somewhat and turning around to see Izuku there, she flips back up and charges again. Momo's movements were fierce, quick and precise, every attack she threw was a blur of blinding speed and power, but they were nothing Izuku couldn't handle. Their spar lasted over an hour and not once was momo ever able to touch Izuku after the kicks she landed, he was too fast, his defense and reflexes was too good and his attacks had far more power behind them than her own. Momo went for a kick that Izuku blocks then he quickly drops and sweeps her for what has to be the fifth time today, Momo get's back up, going for strikes to Izuku's face and body, all get dodged or deflected, deflecting one of Izuku's counters Momo takes this chance to strike his face but izuku catches it, tossing it away with enough force that Momo rears to the left, he takes this moment to unleash a palm strike to Momo's cheek.

She spins in the air before hitting the ground. The sensei finally decides to call it.

"Very good kids, I think we're done with this portion for today. Momo, I don't think I need to tell you what you need to improve on?"

Momo picked herself off the ground for what seemed like the one hundredth time today, the look of defeat evident on her face. "No sensei."

"Uhhh!" Michiko sgroaned as she walked towards her student, making eye contact with the sulking girl before slamming her hands against her cheeks making them mushy. "Relax little girl. Honestly I knew you had no chance of beating Izuku, I wanted this to teach you that though you're a very special, talented person it will only get you so far. I know the pressure to succeed can be daunting, and when you're put in that bubble of being special then suddenly things don't go your way it means you're not special anymore. But in spite of that, always remember there is always someone better, someone stronger, someone who may be working ten times harder than you are just to keep up with and eclipse my natural talent. So never become complacent with your current effort. "She ended that statement looking right at Izuku.

"Yesh sensei! Momo said with mushy cheeks and new fire clear in her eyes.

"Now that that's over, make me a sword." She beckoned her student.

"Yes Ma'am." Momo did just as her sensei said, the green boy still watching was in shock after seeing a sheath come from the girl's hand growing more and more to reveal a katana. Michiko unsheathed the sword, slightly grazing it along her finger. "Nice and sharp as always, now make yours and we can get started."

Momo did as she was told and produced a katana, the quirk nerd was impressed and he had to know. "Yaoyorozu, do you mind telling me what your quirk is?"

Looking at the boy she responded, "My quirk is called Creation, using the lipids in my body I can create any non living item as long as I understand the molecular structure."

The boy was amazed, his mind running though all the possibilities of such a power. "Wow, your quirk is incredible! There are so many things you can do with that, they seem almost boundless!"

The girl turned her head as her cheeks grew a shade of pink, "Thank you."

Michiko smiled, "Yeah, Momo has a pretty impressive quirk with the patience and brains to work it. But it'll take more than that to be a good hero." She said, putting strong emphasis on the word hero.

"Wait, you want to be a hero?" Izuku asked excitedly. "Yes, that's why I have been training with Tabihara sensei."

"Yeah, I guess I should have figured that, what school do you want to go to?"

"My goal is to attend U.A, I'll be taking the recommendation exam in nine months." She excitedly said with a smile.

"That's great, I actually plan on going to U.A too. I'll be taking the entrance exam in ten months though, since we're sibling students it would be really great if we were classmates." He smiled at her happily and hoped for a chance to get to better know the girl.

"Yes, I'd like that Midoriya." she responded, her cheeks still a shade of pink.

Unbeknownst to the two teens a sly smile spread across the face of their teacher, "Alright my little dumplings save all that for later. For now, Momo lets begin.

Izuku watched as The two women practiced various sword swings and numerous sword forms, Momo, while not nearly as skilled as Michiko, it was clear she was used to swinging a sword, sensei had her make several objects for cutting and in a similar drill for the speed technique she tossed them, testing momo to cut them several times before they hit the ground. They also tested how many times momo could swing her sword in one second. Sensei said that the mark of a master swordsman is being able to cut anything numerous if not dozens of times over in a second, being able to perform the flying blade technique and to cut without damaging, that's the criteria for a master swordsman.

"Ok Momo, give it a shot."

The black haired girl gets in a stance for Iaijutsu quickly drawing her sword; she performs ten slashes in one full second before resheething her sword.

"That was good, relatively speaking, I know where to take your training for U.A from here. Did you ever get around to cutting through steel?"

"No Ma'am." The girl responded slightly ashamed.

"Well why the hell not Momo, this has been your biggest struggle for months now." Asked the annoyed teacher.

"Well, it's just that, I'm having trouble finding a metal suitable for cutting through steel."

Michiko had to hesitate from slapping her student."Not this crap again! How many times do I have to say a special material is irrelevant." She lets out a deep sigh. "Come with me, come on Izuku." She beckoned both of her students as they began to walk back to the house. Making it to the backdoor to find Saikawa waiting for them. "Saikawa, please get me a kitchen knife, a cutting board and a daikon radish please." The butler lowered his head. "Yes ma,am", walking to the kitchen Michiko addresses Momo, "Momo, you know what your biggest problem is? You still don't believe that anything is possible. You've seen me swing a sword 100 times in a second, disintegrate a tree by cutting it and slice a small mountain in half with a air slash but your still too damn rational", they make their way to the giant kitchen and Saikawa places the daikon radish on a cutting board with a kitchen knife next to it, "let me shatter your illusions once again." Taking the kitchen knife she delivers one swift slice to the radish cutting it in half, "now be amazed", she said before picking up the halves of the radish and putting them together and somehow they reattached as if they were never severed. Taking it in his hands, "Wait, that's incredible, how is that even possible?" Izuku exclaimed while inspecting the vegetable, Momo taking it from him also inspected it,"Yes sensei, this is truly remarkable, how did you do it?"

Michiko smiled at her students' awe and curiosity, "so you're impressed now, good now give it back to me." Momo did as she was told and the sensei put the radish back on the cutting board, reaching behind herself she pulled out the concealed tanto she keeps on her and just like before cut the radish in half and put it back together. The students look on still impressed, "Momo, please make me a knife, I don't care what the metal is." Nodding, Momo produces a stainless steel knife from her hand that the master once again uses to cut the vegetable in half and reattach it.

"This is called the perfect slice. I cut the radish without damaging the cellular structure or a single fiber. That's how I was able to reattach it even though it had clearly been severed, and I did this with three different blades, why do you think that is?" This question largely aimed at Momo, both the students pondered the question for a moment then the answer came to the greenette. "Because it's you. Your skills are just as strong no matter what the blade is." She smiled at his answer, "that was almost right on the money Izuku, I probably could have done that with a rice spoon, I was able to perfectly slice a radish with three different blades because in my hands they are just as strong as me, no different from any of my swords. Remember Momo, a weapon is an extension of yourself, if you are wielding a weapon to gain power you can never be it's master, rather you must master your own body first, the strength of a weapon starts and ends with you."

"I understand sensei, I'll do my best." She said determined,

"Good, because if you bring up special materials again I will slap you! Now learn how to cut steel, and I better not find a single crack on the blade!" She yelled.

Momo in her shooken state could only bow for sympathy "Yes ma'am!

Checking her phone Michiko saw that their training was up for today, but before leaving decided to be an instigator."Momo, is your mother around? I wanted to speak with her about some things."

"She may be in the library."

"Noted." The master said before walking out of the room, leaving the two teens to talk.

They sat in silence for a moment before the boy decided to speak,"So, today was your first time training with someone who wasn't sensei, what did you think of it?"

"Honestly when I was told that she was going to bring her best student I was a little nervous, I've never sparred with anyone besides her and since I'm such a novice compared to her I wasn't sure how I would compare to her best student. You were incredible Midoriya, just how long have you been training with sensei?"

"It's been seven years of grueling hard work, but I loved every minute of it, even though there were times when I felt I would die." He said with a faint smile remembering his training.

"Wait, DIE? Is the training at the dojo really that difficult?"

"It's definitely a tough place, but to be truly strong you have to be willing to go to a place most sane people wouldn't, not to sound conceited but I was."

"I can tell you have put in much effort to be what you are today, I'm sure your skills will make you a fine hero."

"That is definitely the plan, It's my dream, when I first saw the video of All Might's debut I knew what I wanted to be, I believed in myself, my mom believed in me and I found two wonderful teachers who believed in me, now I just have to keep preparing and walk through that door." He looked at her with a charming smile and she smiled back at him. "Why do you want to be a hero, Yaoyorozu?"

"I just want to help others. Whether it be protecting, rescuing, or just lending a helping hand I want to help people and see them smile however I can." She said with passion.

"Well when you can make anything I'm sure you'll be really great at it."

"Thank you, but I've still got work to do. I learned a lot for our spar earlier but I only touched you twice, after that it was just me hitting the ground for an hour." she said annoyed by the memory

"Well…I don't mind but if it's ok with you I would gladly come back and help you out."

"Really? You wouldn't mind?"

"No, I mean we're sibling students, we're both aiming for the same goal so we should help each other out right." He said, trying to hide his blush.

"That is a good idea. Let's chase our dreams together and support each other, right Midoriya?" Her eyes connected with his, "Right!" The boy replied.

The two talked for a while longer about heroes, some of their hobbies and interests. The two exchange numbers and continue talking about themselves and their vibe is going great, much to the delight of their teacher listening from the next room completely hiding her presence. She finally decided it was time to leave With Momo and Saikawa walking them to the door.

"Ok my sweet little peach, remember what I said, master your body."

"I will sensei." She said with a bow.

"Yeah, this was a good day, and it can only get better." The boy exclaimed. The master and student began to walk away, the boy looking back and raising a hand "I'll be in touch Yaoyorozu."

The girl waved back, "I look forward to it Midoriya."

As the master and student headed down the road to the gate behind them Saikawa spoke, "That was a nice young man."

"Yes, he was." She said almost giddy.

"You and Momo seemed to hit it off pretty well." Michiko said nudging her student

"Yeah, despite what happened earlier with All Might, this was a good day, thank you for bringing me sensei."

"I figured an afternoon with a pretty girl would turn your whole mood around, glad it worked out." She said with a sly grin as she walked behind him.

"It's not just that she's pretty, she's smart, caring, strong, she wants to be a hero and go to the same school I do, I don't have many friends especially female friends so it's a good change of pace." He said, his smile never fading.

His female master behind him could only chuckle to herself and the success of her plan, the seeds had been planted and operation Izumomo is a go.


And that's chapter 5. For those who think it doesn't make sense, the rejection from All Might needed to happen because that and something in the next chapter is what steers his way of thinking moving forward. Izumomo is starting to blossom by Michiko's design and next time the ONE true hero's story can truly begin. Be sure to comment and tell me what you thought of the chapter and I'll see you in the next one.
