(Last Time)

"Well that was fun." Izuku finally spoke up, as he looked over at Mina, sharing a smile with the pink skinned girl as she released him. Trying to ignore all the other people that were still looking at him as he did so. "How did you do in the end?"

"Forty seven points in the end, not quite sixty but I hope it's enough to pass!" Mina replied with a shrug as she looked away from Izuku and instead looked around the area her eyes widening slightly as she saw the shattered buildings, cratered streets and mounds of broken robots. "So much for not destroying the place…"

Izuku chuckled weakly as he heard that looking around at the surrounding carnage as he did so. It appeared when people with Quirks went all out there was a lot of collateral damage.

Luckily though Izuku was only responsible for some of this destruction. "Yeah… glad I'm not the one cleaning it up…"

Chapter 4

( - )

(A Week Later)

It had been a week since the U.A. entrance exam and Izuku was beginning to get nervous.

Initially, when he had first left the U.A. campus and headed back to his small two room apartment a couple of miles away, he had been both quite confident in his chances, and excited to find out his results.

He knew he had done well on the written portion of the test, his literal years of revising and preparation for that one test, had set him in good stead for that. On top of which he knew he had done admirably in the practical test, when he compared his scores to that which the other contestants had gotten, even his friend Mina, he knew he had excelled.

He had acquired more than enough villain points to qualify, on top of which with his academic scores he was almost certain he would be accepted into U.A., and that his years of dedication and determination would pay off.

A tense week of waiting later though, with nothing to do save for go out and shop for the essentials like clothing and food, and read and watch television, his inner confidence had slowly begun to erode.

Already his mind was plagued with worries.

What if they penalised him for taking his Titan form? They had not specifically set any limits on using Quirk, but maybe his history would count against him. Maybe the teachers would think that by him taking that form, even though it was just a test, he was somehow showing that he was not in control.

That, or maybe they had only allowed him to take the test so they could make out that he was being given the same opportunity as everyone else. When in fact they never had any intention of letting someone like him come to U.A., and had dismissed him out of hand. That this was all just a sham, a pretence at fairness and inclusion?

Thoughts like those had regularly started to plague him over the last week, even as the days slowly passed, boredom set in, and still no word came from U.A.; either about him passing, or about him failing.

What would he do if he was rejected?

He could go to Shiketsu High, another prestigious Hero Academy in Japan. Though one that did not have quite the same international fame as U.A.

Trying to go there was a possibility, but what if they rejected him for the same reason that U.A. might?

What could he do then?

He wanted to save people, to balance his karmic ledger and redeem himself for the mistakes he had made that night all those years ago when he had been five years old and had lost control of his Quirk. He wanted to be a hero so he could do some good in the world, and so he could save and protect people.

That had been his dream for most of his life, the one goal that had gotten him through the heartache of losing his mother, and the realisation of what he had done. That one goal, that one ambition, had driven him forward and had lent him the strength he needed to not only gain control of his Quirk, but to also push himself beyond the limits.

What would he do if that goal was no longer possible?

He could always join the military.

Even with the advent of Quirks and the creation of a superhuman society, and the rise of the Pro Hero profession there was still a need for emergency services; firefighters, police, doctor, and of course the army, navy and air force.

Every country had an army, or were protected by another country that had an army.

Though notably the different countries armed forces were drastically smaller than they had been in the times before Quirks, after all in a superhuman society it was not quantity that matter it was quality, power and skill.

From what Doctor Nakamura had told him, Japan had an army one hundred thousand strong, all of whom had rigorous training with their Quirks, and licenses to use them on the battlefield, or in public, when sanctioned to do so by the government.

Effectively they were state controlled heroes who were always ready and waiting to be deployed, either to bring an end to internal issues, or fight against external threats.

For Izuku such a profession would be a good opportunity to serve the people, even if he would prefer to go the Pro Hero route. Pro Heroes after all had more freedom, and could go on patrol and help where they needed, they did not have to await orders. Instead they could just act as and when necessary.

Already he had been approached, using Doctor Nakamura as a proxy, about signing up.

Apparently a Quirk as powerful and potentially destructive as his was highly sort after, and more than a few generals and officers had spoken with Doctor Nakamura about the possibility of recruiting Izuku, training him up, and then unleashing him on the country's enemies.

Of course Izuku wasn't the only one the army had shown interest in. The teens that were sent to Asphodel; those with immensely powerful Quirks, or uncontrollable Quirks, or no morals when it came to using their Quirks, they all ended up doing one of four things after their time in Asphodel came to an end:

They either became Pro Heroes, like he wanted to be.

They tried to fit back into society and forget their pasts.

They went back out into society, continued as they had been doing, relapsed and then ended up being thrown into prison, or being sent to Tartarus, the maximum security adult prison, for the rest of their lives.

Or they were recruited into the army, and became living weapons, just like the test of the 'State Pro Heroes'.

Over the years Izuku had considered all of these options.

He didn't want to try and re-join society as a civilian, he would help no one doing that, and would probably end up living a very unfulfilling life and die full of regrets if he did so. As for being a villain and getting sent to Tartarus, well that was the last place he would ever want to go. The place was synonymous with hell on earth.

The army though, that had been a potentially viable option that he had genuinely considered when he was younger.

Or at least until Doctor Nakamura had said his peace and expressed his belief in Izuku becoming more than just a living weapon, but instead a hero.

Becoming a Pro Hero, again, that was his goal, and it had been for years now. It was all he had ever wanted, the chance to save and protect the innocent.

That was what he ideally wanted for himself. But if he wasn't given a chance, if the Academy rejected him for the things he did ten years ago, when he was five, then he would have to find a new way forward.

He could join the army.

Or he could try his luck at another, less prestigious, Hero Academy.

Honestly he didn't know.

With that thought, Izuku let out a sigh, even as he sank backwards into his sofa.

With Izuku currently being in his small, poky apartment, sitting on his sofa/ fold out bed. The green haired teen not paying attention to the messy state of the kitchen area in one corner of the room, or to anything else as he instead just sat on his sofa watching some TV, absentmindedly doing some curls on his right arm with a dumbbell as he did so.

His attention mainly on the programme on TV, the Hero Channel, a highly popular TV channel that was run by a dedicated team of people who spent their time filming the actions of heroes, rating their pros and cons and basically giving a commentary on their actions.

It was a popular channel, one that was full of action and excitement, and which had been around for decades.

No, it had been going for even longer than that.

The channel's first iteration had been back during the dawn of superheroes. Back when the Pro Heroes of the time operated by a points based system with their saves and captures earning the heroes points. Which in turn were accumulated at the end of each season and used to rank the heroes of the time against one another, and to bring in viewers and revenue to the private companies that sponsored said heroes.

Of course back then the profession was not a public service as it was now, instead each of the heroes were funded by private companies, all of whom made money by advertising products using the heroes they sponsored, either by having the heroes act in adverts, or adding advertisement logos to their hero costumes, or creating films and television series based off of them.

Luckily that practice had died out decades ago, and nowadays all heroes were, technically speaking, public servants, and although they could make money on the side, they all received a generous stipend from the government to live on, and to use in their heroic endeavours. A stipend which could be increased by additional work that the heroes or their agencies could take on themselves, such as by modelling, or going on talk shows.

Shaking his head as he realised that his mind had begun to wander, Izuku, focused back on the television.

Originally he had started watching the TV to distract himself from his dour thoughts over his future. Or at least that was until he saw which Pro Hero they were doing a special on today, at which point he had decided to tune in, not just to distract himself, but because he was also genuinely interested.

After all today's special was on, Mount Lady, a relatively new, up and coming hero who had a 'Gigantification Quirk'.

A Quirk which was very similar, if a bit weaker, than his own Titan Quirk. With Mount Lady only being able to grow to twenty metres tall, and with her not having either a hardening ability or healing factor to go with her increased size.

Still, despite this, the young woman in question had become an incredibly popular, and successful heroine. Despite her having just made her debut. With Mount Lady having not succeeded in doing any high-profile take downs yet.

Which, now Izuku thought about it, made her rise in fame and popularity surprising, especially as Quirks like hers had a bit of a stigma about them nowadays, With many still initially treading cautiously around those with Gigantification Quirks, or size altering Quirks, due to both the collateral damage that came with using such Quirks in a city landscape, and the reputational damage that he, Izuku, had caused ten years ago.

In spite of this though, Mount Lady, had succeeded in not only graduating U.A. High, but in also becoming a famous Pro Hero. A Pro Hero that was known to cause a lot of collateral damage of course, but a hero all the same.

Focusing on the screen as a picture of the costumed heroine in question popped up, Izuku narrowed his eyes slightly.

From glance he was began to get the rather cynical suspicion that her sudden rise in popularity was most likely due, at least in some part, to the fact that she was an absolutely stunning, curvaceous blonde, one that stoked the libido of most men.

Still her appearance aside, that didn't take away from the fact that she was still doing a sterling job for a newbie, and was noticeably getting better as time went on, and causing less damage, and getting more results the more experience she gained. Which was something the current panel were espousing as they debated the Pro Heroes merits.

Honestly, just listening in on the way the panel on the TV talked about her gave him hope for the future.

If one person can break through the stigma associated with Gigantification Quirks, then, with enough graft and hard work, Izuku could do the same, and prove to the world that he was better than he had been, and was in complete control of himself.

Of course before he could do that, he needed to go to a Hero Academy first.

Izuku let out another slight sigh at that thought, the same miserable thoughts as before assailing him once again.

A sudden rattle from his door however, quickly distracted, Izuku, from the television set and his muddled thoughts.

He recognised the sound, it was the sound of something being pushed through his letterbox, and considering the only people that knew his address were the staff at Asphodel, the local police, the government and U.A., well he was pretty sure he knew what it was.

Without another thought Izuku dropped his dumbbell on his sofa before he leapt up and crossed his small apartment in seconds and then grabbed the letter that was now lying on the floor just in front of his door.

A nervous smile slowly spread across his face as he turned the envelope over and saw the U.A stamp it had on the front.

Staring down at the envelope for a few moments, noticing as he did that it was heavier than it should have been, Izuku waited barely a few seconds before he ripped the thing open. His heart beating like a drum as he prepared to find out whether or not he had made it into U.A.

Opening the envelope a frown quickly crossed his face as he saw, that Instead of a letter like he was expecting, there was instead a small metal disk inside.

Picking the disk up curiously, Izuku, ended up dropping it quite quickly, letting out a sudden yelp as he saw the little disk begin to light up, making a whirring noise as it did so.

"I AM HERE… as a projection!" A sudden loud, and familiar, voice rang out, gaining Izuku's attention as he looked down and recognised the voice and catch phrase as belonging to the world's Number One Hero, All Might.

Almost at once Izuku tensed slightly, an uncomfortable tension settling in his gut as he looked down at the small projection of said hero.

The man in question was a hulking blonde, with glowing blue eyes, black sclera, and a large, seven foot tall, heavily muscled body.

Even as a hologram the man cut an impressive figure, and a familiar one too.

Back in his youth Izuku had once idolised All Might, he had looked up to the hero and been in awe of him.

Then that night had happened, and he had seen footage of his rampage and how eventually had he had fought, and been annihilated by the, at the time, recently anointed Number One Hero, All Might

Were it not for his regeneration, Izuku, knew he would have been killed that night.

It was pretty hard to look at a person in the same light you once had when you had also seen video footage of that same person punching you so hard that half of your head exploded in a shower of blood, bone, brain matter and gore.

It had been vivid, and visceral, and thinking back on it now, Izuku, knew he had been too young to see it at the time, even though he had insisted on it. The memory of it lingered in his mind even now.

Still, the fact remained, All Might made him uncomfortable.

The strength the Number One hero possessed, and the look of anger and ferocity on his face when he had engaged him, it had engrained itself into Izuku's psyche.

All Might was not the kind of person he would ever want to cross again.

If the man had been able to complete destroy him ten years ago and end his rampage of destruction in just five mighty blows. Then he didn't want to see what an All Might with ten years more experience and skill would do to him, even with him growing bigger, and getting more control.

Even for someone with regeneration, like Izuku, the image of the massive blonde man caving in your skull with a single punch was pretty impactful, it wasn't something that you could just forget.

"All Might?" Izuku questioned cautiously after a few moments, his hands clenching into fists as he looked down at the miniature image of the world's Number One.

"Yes young Izuku Midoriya, it is I, U.A.s newest teacher, All Might!" The hologram continued speaking, his tone as loud as before, though holding a certain edge to it that Izuku noticed was absent when he was interviewed by the press.

"Can you hear me, or is this a recording?" Izuku asked, poking the metal disk curiously, his green eyes not leaving All Might's grinning form, even as he digested the fact that All Might, the greatest hero in the world, would be teaching at U.A.

"Well I am sure you have been wondering how you did on your entrance exam into U.A.!?" The hologram continued, All Might's smile not wavering for a second as he gave no indication that he had heard Izuku at all.

"I guess not then." Izuku muttered to himself, relaxing slightly as he scooped the disk up and placed it on his coffee table, leaning forward in his seat as he did so, his attention solely fixed on the image of All Might.

"Yes well I can confirm that you passed the written exam with a spectacular result of ninety seven per cent. Not quite the highest I'm afraid, but admirable when compared to the average score of seventy three percent!" All Might continue. His tone not changing for an instant.

Izuku nodded at that, a wave of pleasure flowing through him at the realisation that he had scored so well, with him even going so far as to score twenty four points above the average.

Though admittedly, he was a bit surprised that someone had done better than his own very high score.

That surprise though only lasted for a moment, before he remembered that this was U.A., the school that attracted the best of the best, and even then only allowed the best of those to attend. Some teen, or maybe even more than one, with an intelligence based Quirk had probably scored one hundred in the written test.

"As for the practical test, well you did even better there. Not only did you get a full hundred percent by gaining the sixty points you needed. You went above and beyond by scoring a total of sixty eight villain points from destroying robots, with a further forty rescue points!" All Might continued, his smile becoming a bit more genuine now, and real enthusiasm leaking into his voice as he continued speaking. "This means you scored one hundred and eight points in total, more than enough points to not only pass your entrance exams, but to get the highest score in the practical test out of all of our candidates! Well done!"

"What?" Izuku asked, his mind going blank as he heard that. He had gotten the highest score in the practical, the highest out of the thousands that took the test. It was almost unbelievable.

He knew he had done well, but he didn't think he had done that well, and also what the hell were rescue points, and what did he do to deserve forty of them?

He assumed, by the name, that they were something to do with rescuing people during the test, but as far as he knew the only person he had rescued was that girl at the end, and even then he didn't think that doing something as simple as that, even for the right reasons, deserved a reward.

"Well done young Midoriya, you passed!" All Might finished, his grin becoming slightly tighter now. Before without another sound the hologram shut off leaving Izuku in stunned silence.

"I passed…" Izuku muttered, his heart beginning to beat faster even as a smile crept across his face. "I did it! I got into U.A.!"

(A few weeks later)

Looking around in awe, Izuku, couldn't help but grin as he walked through the bustling hallways of U.A., weaving through the dozens of other students that milling in the corridors, all of them wearing the same grey school uniform.

Continuing on, his backpack safely on his back and a wide eager smile on his face, he felt more excited than he ever had before.

This was his first day of high school, and also the first time in ten years that he would be associating with normal kids his own age.

It was both exciting, and admittedly, a bit nerve wracking too.

He wanted to make a good first impression. He would be with these people for next three years after all. It was already bad enough that he would be starting school with his 'history' weighing him down, the last thing he wanted to do was add to that by making a bad first impression on the rest of his classmates on the first day, and then have to live with that.

"Classroom 1A, classroom 1A…" Izuku muttered to himself, looking at each of the large twenty foot tall doorways he passed, each of which lead off from the main corridor and into a classroom.

The doorways looked excessive from a first glance, but considering the kinds of mutation Quirks that there were out there they had probably been built that way to accommodate everyone, just in case an exceptionally tall, or wide person came to school here.

"Classroom 1A… where the hell is 1A…" Izuku muttered to himself as he weaved his way through the crowds of student, and entered a new corridor. "This place is like a labyrinth."

Almost as soon as he said this, Izuku, suddenly stopped, his eyes lighting up as he finally found the door to his classroom.

He was here, this was it!

Forcing a smile onto his face, and squaring his shoulders, Izuku, confidently opened the door, aware as he did that of the thousands of candidates that applied to the U.A. Hero Course only thirty six kids passed the exam to get in, plus four other students who got into the Academy based on recommendations.

With these forty students then being sorted into two classes, with twenty kids in classes 1A and 1B respectively.

This meant that behind this door were the literal best of the best; those who had proven themselves worthy enough, skilled enough and dedicated enough to have been chosen to become the next generation of Pro Heroes.

A number in which, Izuku, now counted himself in, after all he too had passed the exams entirely on his own merit, just like all of them. Their pasts and origins might all be different, but right here, and right now, they were all starting on the same footing.

Opening the door and striding confidently into the room, a slight smile spread across Izuku's face as he immediately noticed that the two girls he had spoken to back during the entrance exam were here. Both Toru Hagakure, still completely invisible, save for her school uniform, and Mina Ashido, as cheerful and pink as ever were in the room.

Both of them chatting amiably to one another at one of the desks, even as a dozen or so other students milled around, some of them making idle chitchat whilst others were already sat at their desks, patiently waiting for the form room period to start.

Smiling at this, Izuku, allowed the door to close behind him even as he looking around, his mind whirling as he quickly found himself recognising more than a few of the other people in the room with him.

For one there was that short haired girl with the extended earlobes, who, upon hearing someone enter looked over at the door. A curious expression crossing her previously bored face as she gave Izuku an evaluating and speculative look for a moment, before she then turned back to speak with her companions. One of whom was; a girl with large eyes, black hair and distinctly… amphibian like traits, whilst the other he recognised as the curvy, brunette who he had saved during the entrance exam.

As well as those two, there was another girl standing with them, with this one having a lithe form and shoulder length straight hair, only this girl's hair was dark black, and her eyes were an intense blue. Noticeably though, this girl also wore a distinctly emotionless expression on her face as she listened, more than talked, as group of four girls conversed.

Giving the earlobe girl a tight smile as she glanced back at him, and receiving a nod in return, Izuku, then assessed the rest of the room, noticing as he did a large, heavy set kid with long brown hair which he wore in a ponytail and noticeably big lips. With this guy talking to a very tall teen who had three pairs of webbed arms and no noticeable mouth, and another teen, who Izuku recognised also, that had a black, bird like head on a skinny human body.

Shifting his attention from them, Izuku then noticed another odd looking teen, with this one having half of his hair white and the other half red. The teen in question having a bored look on his face as he grudging spoke with another classmate; this one being an exceptionally attractive girl with long black hair that was tied up in a spikey ponytail of sorts, and a sublime body.

Glancing away when he noticed the cold eyes of the kid with half red and half white hair on him, the heterochromatic eyes narrowing even as his lips became a thin line, Izuku, instead turned to look at the rest of his class.

As he did this, Izuku, quickly noticed an effeminate looking blonde kid on the other side of the room, who was currently chatting with another familiar face. It was the attractive girl from the entrance exam, the one who had green vines as hair. Only instead of being as long and wild as it had in the exam her vine like hair was instead waist length, and had noticeably been woven into a thick plait that hung down her back to her waist.

Behind the girl, Izuku's brow furrowed as he saw someone else he recognised; the short kid with purple balls for hair, who at that moment was sitting at the desk behind the green haired girl, his mouth practically watering as he looked lecherously between the many girls in the class. With the short boy in question occasional letting out a perverted giggle as he scanned the room and eyed up some of his classmates like they were pieces of meat.

Was he one of these perverts that Doctor Nakamura had told him about? Izuku mused as he looked at the boy for a moment, before he shook his head, and prepared to make his presence known to the rest of the class, and head over to say 'hi' to the only people in the room he knew; Toru and Mina.

As he did this, he continued to survey the other teens in the class; like the one with short blonde hair and large muscular tail, or the other one with dark hair, blocky elbows and an odd smile his face. Both of those two were pretty odd looking, far more so that the last two members of the class; the two spikey haired boys in the corner, one of whom had blonde hair whilst the other had bright red hair. Both of whom, Izuku noticed, were talking amiably over in the corner of the room with another familiar face, the bespectacled and abrasive teen, Tenya Iida.

"Hey Midoriya!" Mina shouted a large smile on her face as she looked up and saw the spikey green haired teen at the door.

The pink skinned girl waving enthusiastically at Izuku as she did so, Hagakure's arm sleeve waving along with her, as the invisible girl turned to look at him too.

"Yay, you made it in too!" Toru chirped happily, her invisible body giddily rocking backwards and forwards on her seat as she spoke.

As the Mina called out his name, Izuku, noticed the reactions of the rest of the class as they turned to look at the newcomer, him.

Some; like the blonde kid with a tail, the muscly teen with big lips, the effeminate blonde, the spikey red haired guy, the spikey blonde haired guy, the frog like girl and a couple of others just looked over at him curiously. Several of them smiling and waving clearly not recognising him at all, even as a couple of others frowned in confusion. Their expression telling him that they recognised the name, but couldn't quite place it.

Others meanwhile; like the half and half guy, the tall dark haired girl with the spiky ponytail, the girl with shoulder length black hair and blue eyes, the girl with extendable earlobes, and the guy with no visible mouth but multiple arms, all paused and stared at him in shock, surprise or caution.

These ones, Izuku guessed, were the ones who both recognised the name and connected the dots, and thus knew who he was.

Notably, and thankfully, none of them looked particularly scared or angry. Instead they just look curious. Though the half and half boy, he noticed, had a slight frown on his face as he looked at Izuku, almost as if he didn't know what to think of him.

Then finally there were those; like Tenya Iida, the kid with purple balls for hair, the curvy brunette he had saved, and the girl with green vines for hair, all of whom clearly not only recognised him from the exam but had also seen him assume his Titan form too.

Oddly though, all four of these teens' reactions were different.

Tenya Iida seemed to tense up for a moment, his brow furrowing and his mouth opening, almost as if he were about to say something. Only for his mouth to snap shut moments later as he instead gave Izuku a stiff nod, and kept a neutral expression his face as he then resolutely looked away from him and back to the two spikey haired teens.

The short kid with purple balls on his head meanwhile just looked like he was about to piss himself. There was both recognition and fear in his eyes as he gazed at Izuku, his lip quivering as he sank lower into his seat, almost like he was attempting to hide from his gaze.

Those two were reactions he had expected; dismissal and fear, the other two meanwhile, they surprised him.

The short brunette, she actually smiled when she saw him and waved, her face going a little pink as she sent him a thankful look. The short, curvy girl looking for a moment like she was going to approach him, before a few seconds later she thought better of it and instead gave him an awkward wave instead.

The green haired girl however just looked at him in fascination what she had previously been dong completely forgotten as she just gazed at Izuku in a way he could never remember be looked at before. It was a mixture of respect, awe, interest and dare he saw it, a slight amount of reverence.

For Izuku, the alienness of this look was a little discomforting.

Tearing his eyes away from the green haired girl and looking around, Izuku, wasn't sure what he should do next or how he should act with the attention of the rest of his class for the next three years entirely upon him.

Luckily though he didn't have to, as instead, Mina, came to his aid.

"Come on, get over here Midoriya, I want to hear about how well you did in the exam! I was just telling Toru about how you went full Titan and picked up one of those Zero Pointers and ripped it in half with your bare hands!" Mina called out enthusiastically, the horned girl gleefully unaware of the looks and expressions of the rest of her classmates as she instead just hopped off of her seat and bounced over to him.

Almost at once the other students began muttering to one another about what, Mina, had just blurted out. Some of them, like the spikey red haired kid, loudly calling, Izuku, 'manly as hell'. Whilst others, those in the know turned and told those who didn't recognise who Izuku was, about him, and probably about how he was capable of literally picking up a Zero Pointer and ripping it in two with his bare hands. Their expression noticeably going from confused to shocked, the nervous and then to befuddled as they shot Izuku odd looks.

Ignoring the assortment of looks being sent his way, Izuku, with the tension now well and truly broken by Mina, instead walked over to the pink hair girl and the now standing Hagakure, a slight smile on his face.

"Hey Ashido, Hagakure! I'm glad you two got in too!" Izuku replied, a grin spreading across his face as he phased out the ongoing muttering all around him, and instead met up with the duo.

He was just glad he would be assured of having at least two friends in his class, it was better than he could have hoped for.

"I know, I mean can you believe it? We made it into U.A.!?" Mina shouted enthusiastically as Izuku approached, lunging forwards as she did so and throwing her arms around the taller, teen.

Toru, although equally excited, not doing the same as she instead just high-fived Izuku without him noticing. "Yeah, I really can't believe it! Even now, when I am already here, I still can't quite process it! We passed!"

"Yeah it's amazing!" Izuku replied with a grin of his own, glad he wasn't the only one that was incredibly excited for what was to come. All those years of hard work, and they had culminated in him getting in, in him passing his entrance exam and being allowed to come to U.A.!

Izuku clenched his hand into a fist at that thought. This was it, he was here. He had overcome the first hurdle in his journey to be hero, all that was left was for him to graduate.

Yes, this was it, he would use all the opportunities U.A. gave him, and the same determination that had gotten him here, and become the best hero that he could be!

"We're here, at U.A.! I can't wait to get started!" Izuku continued with a bright grin, one that Mina, and he assumed, Hagakure, mirrored.

It was as he said this, that, almost coincidently, their homeroom teacher spoke up and decided to announce and introduce himself.

The man's dull voice cutting through the chatter in the classroom, causing many of the talking students to quiet down as they all eventually clocked onto the fact that they were no longer alone. "If you're here to have fun, do me a favour and leave now."

At once everyone stopped talking, all of them looking around the room for the speaker.

With the most observant of their number quickly finding the source of the voice. The source being a sickly, pale and tired looking man, whose only visible feature at the moment was his unkempt, dour looking face, with the rest of him being covered up by a big, puffy yellow sleeping bag.

"This is the Hero Course. Get your act together." The man continued speaking bluntly, his voice low, bored and disinterested as he gazed around the classroom from where he was slumped on the floor.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Mina whispered to him and Toru quietly, all three of them eyeing the guy curiously as he crawled out of his sleeping bag and walked to stand in front of the rest of the class.

"Our homeroom teacher I'm guessing." Izuku muttered back, a vaguely disappointed expression on his face as he saw how unimpressive the man was. He was expecting more form their homeroom teacher, especially since all of the teachers at U.A. were supposed to be Pro Heroes.

This guy though, Izuku, didn't recognise him at all.

"Be quiet…" The man said abruptly, his attention fixed on Izuku and Mina as he gave them a seemingly bored look. His voice not rising at all but still holding a certain edge to it as he turned away from them and then looked around at the rest of the class. "It took you too long to quiet down. Time is limited, so next time I expect you to be silent and in your seats before class starts."

"As for who I am…" The teacher continued, sending Mina a dull look as he did so. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. It's a pleasure meeting you, I'm sure…."

Around the room a number of the assembled students shifted. Shota Aizawa was not giving them a good first impression, especially since the man was supposed to be their form room teacher.

"Good, now put these on and go to the training grounds, your first test begins now!" Aizawa continued speaking as he gazed around, locking eyes with everyone in the room at least once, before he reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a bunch of blue and white track uniforms.

'Our first test! Already!' Izuku thought, his eyes widening as the class began to grab the track uniforms and leave the room. 'This is more like it!'

AN: So what did you all think? I hope you enjoyed the chapter, Izuku has been accepted into U.A. and has met his class. Which as you can see is a bit different than last time. For one there is no Bakugo, instead he has been relegated to another Class, after all I don't think even the teachers at U.A. would think it would be a good or fruitful idea to place those impacted by Izuku's rampage, or of a nervous disposition into the same class as Izuku. That said just because he won't be seeing him on day to day doesn't mean he'll be able to avoid him completely.

That said to make it clear the current class, which I've already tried to do in the story, I will list them below:

Yuga Aoyama, Mina Ashido, Tsuyu Asui, Tenya Iida, Ochaco Uraraka, Mashirao Ojiro, Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima, Rikido Sato, Mezo Shoji, Kyoka Jiro, Hanta Sero, Fumikage Tokoyami, Shoto Todoroki, Toru Hagakure, Izuku Midoriya, Minoru Mineta, Momo Yaoyorozu and then additionally Yui Kodai and Ibara Shiozaki.

So yep that is Izuku's current class going forwards, similar but not quite the same as there is a different context to the decision making than there was in canon.

Other than that I hope you enjoy the story and continue to read. I will admit though one thing I pondered on when writing this story, is armed forces in the a world of superhumans. Would they still be a thing? Would say each country have a force of Quirk powered individuals to use as soldiers, or would they stay like the traditional military and use guns, and not their Quirks? I think it is certainly quite an interesting thing to muse on. Does anyone know of any story where this idea has been explored? Genuinely curious here.

Thanks a lot for reading, and I hope you all review and continue to enjoy.

Also please do check out my other stories if you have the chance.

Catch you all later.
