ReadingSoul518: It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

NyaNyakittyFace: Oh yes

Middernacht: Your comment almost made me rewrite the chapter. It was so tempting.

Blazing Heart Frigid Soul: Thanks and I thought about pre UA meeting with Tsuyu but I couldn't find a way to fit it natural. I tried her and a few other characters but none of them felt like a good story flow.

Ryuzaki Uchida: Thanks, I hope to continue to be a source of joy for you.

Dovah117: Oh those student are in for a ride.

A/N: please read the last part in at the end please, also don't forget to like and comment, were at 400 followers I'm kinda curious how quickly we will get to 500.

Chapter 14: Road to UA

Melissa checked the clock on her phone. "It's been over half an hour, are they okay?"

"I honestly don't know." said Yushiro, staring at the scene. "I'm actually kinda curious now how they haven't gotten dehydrated yet."

Yae was also curious at the sight. "How can two people cry this much. They're making a puddle on the floor."

"That carpet is definitely ruined." said Tomo picking up Eri, keeping the child away from the puddle.

The five of them watched in silence at first not ruin the reunion of a mother and her son but said reunion has so far consisted of nothing but the two of them hugging while they cry a lot. A lot of crying. Their eyes turned into miniature geysers of rushing water, it surprised and bafulled the onlookers.

"Hey Inko," came a voice behind the small group. A blonde hair woman came through the door. "Who are you guys?" She then noticed the two crying. "Inko, IZUKU"

For the first sense they arrived Inko agnollaged some else's existence. "Mi….Mi...MItsuki my boy is home." she said through tears.

Mitsuki tried no to let the scene get to her as well since she too has been waiting for this.. "Yes i can see that. Remember what we talked about."

"RIght." Inko slowing down the tears, but couldn't stop. "You shouldn't have left, I'm sorry." as she began to tap Izuku's head.

"I'm sorry mom," said Izuku, now bowing and continuing to cry.

"Is she trying to scold him?" asked Yae, not understanding what's going on.

"I. Don't. Know." said Melissa. "I've never seen scolding like that before."

Mitsuki remembering there was an audience. "Wait, who are you guys?"

Yushiro stepped forward. "That's a bit of story."

~o~

Mina Ashido was nearing the end of her run. She has been using her free period to put in some extra training for the UA exam and to try and put any doubt inside her to rest. She already got permission from her teacher to run not only around the school but also to run off campus. Many teachers saw her new determination to be a hero a worthy endeavor for some leeway on the rules. Not to mention her scores and grades went to the top of the class.

She was already back on campus and made her way to the school entrance. Where her two friends are waiting for her. "Mina your back already!" one of them said with clear shock in her voice.

Her other friend handed her a water bottle."How are you still standing?"

"What do you mean?" asked Mina, taking the water bottle.

"Mina according to the phone tracker you ran more than you did yesterday and you got back with 10 minutes to spare. You just ran better than some of the boys on the cross country varsity team." she said showing Mina the numbers on her phone.

Mina looked over her running data. "Well I guess the extra work I've been putting in has paid off."

"I'll say and here I thought Kirishima was the only one doing some crazy training."

"Kirishima?"

CRASH

"What was that?" asked one of the girls.

"It came from the track field." as the girls left to go check it out. When they got there they saw a crowd of students looking at the training field. Mina forced herself through the crowd to see what was going on. As she made it to the front she saw what all the commotion was about. "Kirishima."

The now red headed spiky hair boy turned around to see the girl. "Oh hey Ashido how's it going." he said standing in front of the remains of a giant destroyed boulder.

"Since when could you do something like this." she gestured to the rock.

"Oh yeah I've been working on a good attack for awhile now Bakugo thought it would be a good idea if I got at least one good attack down."

"Bakugo, that's the guy you've been hanging around with right, I guess he's been putting you through the ringer." she said while poking his arm.

"Yeah, he really doesn't hold back his punches." said Kirishima, still sore from some of the bruises that Bakugo gave him. "I'm actually going to have another spare with him later after school."

"Really? Man you guys are taking this whole plus ultra thing super seriously." said Mina

As the two continued to talk the principal and vice principal were watching the two. "So do you still think it was a bad idea giving those two so much freedom?" asked the vice principal.

The principal was still staring at the remains of the rock. "Not at all. Those two will make fine heroes."

~o~

"Alright everyone, your highschool entrance exams are in a few days, make sure each and every single one of you is ready for what's to come. The highschool entrance exams aren't anything to laugh about. For those of you who are going to head to hero schools make sure not only are you physically prepared but also academically prepared, don't forget they won't let you in if you flunk your academic exam." said the teacher of Algernon junior high. He looked at his students making sure that most of them were paying attention and noticed that the only one that wasn't was Bakugo. "Also, I'm not doubting any of you, but make sure you have a backup school choice lined up. There is always the chance you might fail or they may not let you in because of prior history."

This got Bakugo's attention and gave the teacher a mean glare, before some of the other students began to giggle. "Do you extra D listers have something to say." as his question was met with silence. "No matter what you extras say I'm still getting into UA and becoming the number 1 hero. So if you have a problem with that, THEN GROW SOME BALLS AND COME OUT AND SAY IT." Over the past few months sense Izuku came out as the now popular vigilante Demon Slayer, some of his classmates have been taking behind his back that Izuku and the other heroes will arrest him and that he couldn't get into UA because of assault. But no one has said it to his face and no one did anything to stop him before when he was just a useless little Deku. 'They're all cowards and hypocrites.' Thought Bakugo 'None of these extras are gonna get in my way.'

Sqwish

Bakugo heard the sound before he registered the feeling of cold on the back of his head. Bakugo slowly rubbed his hand against the back of his head, as he then looked at his hand. "Snow" Bakugo slowly turned and saw all the shock on his classmates face as they looked at a girl with long black hair in two pigtails and even though she put on a brave face, she was shaking. "Extra, did you throw this?" said Bakugo more in disbelief than rage.

"It's…..It's Yuki, Yuki Sunoenjuro," she said through shaking legs. "And I'm going to be a better hero then you."

Bakugo and the rest of the class were silent at the girl's announcement. Bakugo had to stop himself from laughing. "You? You're going to become a hero. Your quirk is literally snowball, Your quirk is as useful as the kid who can pop his eyes out. Not to mention look at yourself, If you can barely stand up to me then there's no way you can stand up to a villian." Bakugo would have continued to insult the girl but the school bell rang. "I could go on but I got to get to training but hey you can always try to become a sidekick."

As Bakugo got his backpack and was halfway out the door. "I'll make it to UA." This stopped Bakugo. "I'll make it to UA and beat you and prove that someone like me can be a hero. One that is better than you."

Bakugo eyed her for a second. "Where the hell was this backbone when Deku was here." As he left the room.

Even though he was only speaking to Yuki everyone felt his words. They knew they did nothing for Izuku but made his life worse than it should have been. No one stood up for him, no one helped, none of them did what any hero would do and gave a helping hand for him. All of the students quietly got their things and began to leave the room. Except for Yuki.

Yuki sat there at her desk for a moment as she pulled a small notebook out of her desk, Hero analysis notebook number 8 by Izuku Midoryia, she remembered how she picked this up off the ground when the teachers were cleaning out his old desk at the time when it happened she remembered how guilty some of her classmates and teachers felt, especially when his mother cameby a crying mess looking for her son. "I'm sorry."

Yuki was standing alone in the middle of the school field looking down at one of her snowballs. "How can I be a hero with a quirk like this." she said to herself.

"You want to be a hero too." She turned to come face to face with Izuku Midoriya. "Um I'm uh well sorry. I just um saw you standing here and well. I thought you might need some help"

"What? Nononono. I'm just kind of moping about my quirk." she said summoning a snowball.

"Whoa that's incredible can you make it bigger?" surprised by his enthusiasm she compiled and made it bigger, to the size of a basketball. "Cool, how big can you make it?"

"Um the last time I tried to make one really big I made it about the size of my bike."

Izuku stared at the snowball floating in the girl's hand. "It's floating. Can you make some in mid air and do the big ones float too?" She said yes to both. "You could make snowballs to stop fires or trip criminals, if your able to keep it from falling apart then you can throw them and the fastest pitch has reached over 200 Kiliometers per hour, even half that could do some damage if you need to fight and in emergency your quirk could help if it can keep a wound closed. Though I don't know about the last part…" as he began to mutter up a storm. Yuki could barely keep up, but even so it did help her feel better and it gave her a few new ideas. Maybe she could be a hero.

"Yuki" turned to see one of her friends walking at a quick pace to the duo.

"Oh hey there-" Yuki was unable to finish as her friend grabbed her hand and began to walk away with Yuki in hand. "Hey what's going on? Why are you pulling me?"

"I'm helping you." this made Yuki confused and it showed on her face. "You were talking to Izuku Midoriya, he's the quirkless boy in our class." Yuki had heard one of the kids in her class was quirkless but she didn't believe, who didn't have a quirk these days. She turned to see Izuku face downcast as they walked away, he two was walking away when another boy called out to him. Bakugo and his goons began to walk towards Izuku as the two girls walked away. "Just stay away from him, he's nothing more than a inless nobody with delusions of grandeur."

Yuki could hear small explosions behind her but kept walking with her friend. "Okay"

The trip down memory lane didn't make Yuki feel any better, it just reminded her that she left someone to their fate instead of helping them. "I maybe able to become a hero but do I deserve to become one."

~o~

"AAAAHHHH" Ochako's battle cry could be heard across the dojo as she tried to land a palm strike on her sparring partner Kendo, but Itsuka Kendo had far more training then she did and was able to grab Ochako's wrist and flip her onto the floor mat. "Ofph"

"Nice try there but you got a little desperate there in the end." said Kendo holding out her hand for Ochako who gladly took it. "What was with the battle cry?" she asked as she pulled Ochako up.

Ochako blushed a little "Well we're running out of time today and I really wanted to get at least one good hit in."

"You might not be at my level just yet but, you've come a long way in the short time you've been here. To be honest I doubt anyone would believe you just started over two months ago."

"Really, thanks." said Ochako remembering how she got here.

"Um excuse me um can i um speak to the instructor." she asked a man who was currently checking his bag.

The man turned around and stood to his full height. Almost doubling Ochako's height, the man had orange hair and a scar on the side of his face, he was wearing a karate gi with a black belt. "I'm Tsyuoi Kendo, I own this dojo and I am the instructor. What can I do for you?"

Ochako had to calm herself after confronting a man who was a giant to her. "Um I was wondering if I could join, just for a bit and I don't have a lot of money but-" Ochako's nerves were getting the better of her.

Tsyuoi was getting a little annoyed by the girl. "Why do you want to join, at least tell me that much."

"I'm trying to get into UA, the hero school and I need to get better." when she said the last part her eyes steeled themselves. Tsyuoi noticed the look.

"Oh what do mean by the last part."

"Um well do you know about the mall incident that happened recently. The one with Demon Slayer." He nodded. "I was there, I wasn't in any real danger myself but I saw Demon Slayer and his friends fight and see them in person made me realized that I need to do better if I want to be a hero and I know it's short notice and I don't have much money but I would like to train here. Learn something that could help me."

Tysuoi gave the girl a look over. 'She is really all that much of a fighter but there's no doubt some fire behind those eyes.' "ITSUKA" he shouted.

"Yes dad," said Itsuka kendo approaching the two. "You need me to get something?"

"Get this girl some gear." Itsuka bowed to her dad and grabbed the stunned girl and took her to the locker room. The two returned quickly with Ochako in a set of Gi herself. "Alright now that you look the part let's see what you can do. Your sparring partner is going to be my daughter here no quirks allowed. READY BEGIN."

"WHAT?" said Ochako clearly not prepared for this. She looked to see Itsuka getting into a fighting stance. Ochako tried to mimic the stance and like a deer in headlights she stood there only for Itsuka to give her a swift kick to the stomach.

"Oh sorry I guess that was a bit much for a first time." said Itsuka "Better luck next time." she expected her father to stop the match.

"Hold it." said Ochako standing up. "I'm not done yet."

Ituska raised an eyebrow before resuming her stance. Ituska dodged a sloppy punch and used it to flip Ochako and slamming her onto the matt. "You done."

"No." Ochako slowly rolled over and stood up. "I need to do a lot better to become like Demon Slayer."

"Demon Slayer?" Itsuka knew of the vigilante. 'Does this girl want to be a hero?' The fight continued for the next 20 minutes, Ituska kept send Ochako to the matt and each and every time she kept getting back up. Itsuka was starting to tire herself. 'How much can this girl take, I've stopped holding back and she keeps getting up. What is this girl made of?' Ochako was getting up again and Itsuka was preparing for another bout.

"Enough." said Tsyuoi "You two can stop now."

Ochako looked horrified that she might have failed. "But i can still keep going."

"That's unnecessary, you passed." Tsyuoi almost let out a laugh at the girl's shock. "I wasn't expecting you to win, I just wanted to see if you would get back up. In all honesty after the third time i was going to stop it but you just kept going and I'm not the only one impressed."

Ochako looked around and saw that the whole dojo was looking at her. "Did you see that girl was able to last that whole time against Kendo" "Not even some grown adults can last that long against that little monster." "She said she was trying to be a hero right." "She'll make it definitely."

Ochako began to turn as red as a tomato, hearing all the compliments. "Um so am I in."

"Of course, I would be crazy to turn a promising hero away." he said

"You think I have promise?"

Itsuka put a hand on her shoulder. "Oh yeah you got guts to spare, but if you're shooting for UA we don't have much time. What's your quirk?"

"It's Zero Gravity," She said showing her fingers to the Kendos. "I can turn someone's or something's gravity off if I touch them with the pads on my fingers."

Tsyuoi thought for a moment. "Well then above the usual exercises we'll have you focus on palm strikes, chopping techniques and some grapples."

"Okay um wait, how much will this cost?" she said feeling her near empty wallet begin to squirm.

"Don't worry about it. Just come by everyday after school and train with Itsuka, she too is trying to get into UA."

Ochako turned to Itsuka. "You're trying to get into UA too."

"Yup," said Itsuka "Let's do our best."

"Yeah." cheered Ochako as she became a regular at the Kendo dojo and became Itsuka's best friend. Over the next two months she learned basic hand to hand combat with a focus at hand strikes that would compliment her quirk.

The two got done cleaning the dojo and hit the showers. Afterwards they both were in their street clothes ready to leave. "You wanted to make a run to the shoe store right?" asked Ochako.

"Yeah my are getting worn out and having a fresh pair for the entrance exam might help. It isn't a good idea to go in with faulty equipment." said Itsuka while Ochako nodded in agreement. "Let me just go tell my dad first before we go." They soon found her dad at the front desk with a small group watching the news on the TV. "Huh what's going on?"

"It's been nearly two years since the american martial arts community was shaken to its core." said the female news reporter. "Two years ago the former rising star and poster child for the american martial arts community, Jack Mukyu disappeared amidst the controversy of his own medical reports. As of right now he is still missing and even though many have questions investigators haven't put out a warrant for his arrest despite damages he and his father have caused. Jack's former gym is still running but has been under constant attack from other gyms and from people in the community. Even though the owner denies any knowledge of Jack's actions many have voiced their complaints to the gym, though without enough evidence no lawsuit has held up in court. Some want the gym to be shut down, while others hope the gym can redeem itself. For now it still holds out and the owner hasn't made any new commits since his interview last year."

Ochako has been going to the dojo for a while but she was perplexed with how serious everyone was. "Who's Jack Mukyu?"

Itsuka was instantly angry. "Jack Mukyu is a vile person who has dishonored martial arts. He won hundreds of tournaments around America and challenged fighters all over the world, I almost had a chance to fight him myself. Later it was revealed that he lied about his quirk and used drugs to win his matches, he had been cheating the whole time and his dad was able to make sure no one found out, hell i'd bet all my money his gym helped out too."

"ITSUKA," yelled her father, getting her attention, before he spoke calmly. "I know you hate the boy and I won't deny I too hold some contempt for the boy as well, but you should not blame the whole for the actions of the few. I don't know Hector Guerrero as well as others but I know him well enough to know that he wouldn't allow any drug usage in his gym. He's an honorable man and he shouldn't be punished for actions that weren't his."

"Yes father," she said, a little ashamed of herself. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine, now you two look like you're ready to head out."

"Yes sir," said Ochako, glad the subject moved on. "We wanted to go get new shoes for the exam."

Tsyuoi nodded to the girls and told his daughter that he would see her at home. As they left Itsuka took one last look at the TV screen. 'If I ever get the chance I will beat you Jack' she thought. 'I will show what a real martial artist is.'

~o~

Mitsuki took a long sip of her tea. "Okay so let me get this straight. You are a two hundred year old man that lives on a mountain and is a government secret because you're also the world's best doctor, and one of your old friends found Izuku and brought him to you were not only did you fix his broken rib but also found out he had a quirk and the only reason no one new was because of a birth defect and because no one checked his lungs. Am i on the right track so far."

"Yep." said Yushiro as he sipped some tea that Tomo was serving. It took MItsuki a few minutes but she managed to stop the Midoriya's from crying. Tomo got permission from Inko to brew some tea while the other sat down and explained who they were and how they knew Izuku. It was mainly Yushiro talking while Melissa and Yae put in a word here and there, while Eri played with Chacha the cat.

Mitsuki had a hard time believing all of this, but she couldn't deny that there was something about the person in front of her that made her believe him. Though she was still a bit skeptical about all of it, she kind of had to be, she was happy Izuku returned to Inko but she should be a little bit worried about her son's 'sensei'. "You're also a government secret."

"Oh yeah, which is why if you tell people about me I'll have you killed." causing her and Inko to look at him in fear. "I'm kidding."

"Really." Mitsuki said, giving him a tired look. "Okay getting back on track. So you kept Izuku there on your mountain."

"I didn't kidnap him, he was my patient. I originally wanted him to stay so I could make sure his ribs would heal and once I told him his lungs held his quirk, he tried to activate it and almost burned himself. At that point he almost burned or drowned in his sleep because he can't feel his lungs. What was I supposed to do, let him go home and burn down his apartment in his sleep."

"You should have at least told his mother about this." she said bitterly.

Yushiro turned and gave Izuku a critical stare. "Izuku, would you mind explaining that one."

Izuku shifted in his seat next to his mother. "I said I would contact my mom, and everytime I tried I got too scared to make the phone call or send the message. When I first woke up on the mountain four days had already passed and I didn't know how I should explain it and the more days that went by the more scared and ashamed I became, and when Yushiro sensei found out he gave me a deadline to come home."

Inko couldn't say anything and just hugged her son trying to keep the tears down. Though Mitsuki wasn't satisfied. "Okay when you found out Izuku hadn't contacted Inko why didn't you just drag him back yourself."

"I will admit some of that is my fault, one problem with my power is that my sense of time is different than others. Other than that I had originally intended to remain a secret to the world, Because of that I wanted Izuku to handle all of this but because of recent events I've decided to return to society."

"Society? Why were you in hiding in the first place?"

Yushiro's eyes darkened. "Do you know about the early days of quirks? Surely you've heard about it in history class."

Mitsuki flashed back to her days in highschool hearing about the riots and the lynch mobs and the complete segregation of people with quirks. "Oh" her eyes widened with realization. "You lived through that."

"Yes, yes I did." as he took another sip of his tea. "Though years have gone by and I hope to return to the world, hopefully I can help more now than I did back in the day."

"Well you have helped out my son." said Inko "And I thank you for that but I can't deny a part of me wants to scream at you for keeping my son. Though I too have to take the blame for that one, when the doctor told me that my son was quirkless I didn't believe he could follow his dreams and I didn't help him so I thank you for helping him. You help prove not only to me but the whole world that he could be a hero."

Yushiro felt a bit of relief at the statement. "Thank you Mrs. Midoriya, though I would like to personally apologize for everything that has happened, how have you been holding up with all of this."

"I won't lie, it was hard living without Izuku, if it wasn't for Mitsuki I don't think I could have made it." she smiled at her friend. "Though I think I just got lucky all around. I got a lot of money from tax refunds, Chacha showed up and I was no longer lonely and I got a new landlord who was very nice and even worked with me on paying off the apartment. After that I found out all my old debts disappear like magic, I think I have a guardian angel watching over us."

The teenagers looked at Yushiro who in turned tried to look away. Tomo began to giggle at her masters actions. "Well I can tell it wasn't a cake walk for Izuku ether." said Tomo. "Master put him through the ringer and he too felt quite bad for not telling you or seeing you. I don't know if he'll say it, he did miss you, he even cried a few times."

"Tomo." said Izuku, getting embarrassed.

Inko couldn't help but smile at her son's embarrassment. "It's good to see not everything has changed. I thank you all for looking after my son and I thank you for being his friends."

"Don't mention it, he's a good sparring partner." said Yae.

"Yeah I don't think I could have gotten as far as I have with my quirk without him. He's quite incredible." said Melissa causing Izuku to blush at the compliments.

"So are you going to try and get into UA as well?" asked Inko, trying to learn more about the girls.

"Yep," said Melissa "we are going to make it to the hero course."

"The three of us are going to show those guys what real heroes look like." said Yae puffing out her chest.

Mitsuki saw the three interactions with each other before whistling. "Not bad Izuku way to be a man."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Mitsuki gave a devilish grin. "Hey which one of you is dating Izuku."

Both Yae and Meliss spit out their tea out so loud it scared the cat. "D.d..d.d.d. , were friends, i'm Izuku is um" said Melissa as she turned red and became a muttering mess.

Yae just froze like a deer in headlights, one could have mistaken her for a statue. Eri climbed up the couch and began to poke Yae who wasn't moving or showing any signs of registering anything. "I think Yae's broken."

Yushiro, Tomo, and Mitsuki couldn't contain their laughter. Izuku turned to his mother hoping to calm her down but there was no need as she began to smile. "Grandbabies."

"MOM."

~o~

"Are you ready, grand daughter? The UA exam is only a few days away." said an elderly man who had a gray beard and a full set of gray hair.

"Do not worry grandfather, I'm more than ready for their little hero exam." said a teenage girl with long blonde hair who was wearing a skin tight suit with a utility belt with various tools and with mechanical bracers on her wrist and forearms. "I will show them the skill, beauty, and the flamboyance of the Uzui clan." as she struck a pose.

"Yes my granddaughter." he said while also striking a pose. "Show them the power of a clan that has lasted hundreds of generations. Show them the power of a shinobi."

"Don't worry grandfather they will all weep at the beauty of my sound."

~o~

Deep in the mountains in a far off land. Several men couldn't believe the sight in front of them. "There's no way, that kid beat them all and he looks no older than fourteen."

"How though, I recognize some of those guys. There are fighters and heroes from other countries. How did this kid beat them?"

"He fought like a demon. I've never seen a quirk like that before."

"But those are pros. How did a quirk like his get the better of him."

"It's the result of his training." said a deep voice coming from a big buff elderly man with a white beard. He walked casually through the unconscious bodies that littered the ground of the battlefield. In the center of the field was a teenage boy covered in blood, some his own and some of it from his opponents. He wore an open red vest and white martial art pants, with three black rings on his arms. Even though the boy was almost too tired to stay standing he turned to the elder man. "Do not worry boy you do not need to speak. You've done well, you were able to take out over forty of them before you had to use your powers. As a final test, you did excellent and just in time too. You're ready, it's time to head to Japan."

The boy couldn't help but smile. "Demon Slayer."
