Izuku Midoriya was having a quiet breakfast. The boy looked at his mom and saw her being quiet since serving the food

'No doubt that mom is still upset upon seeing the news' he thought 'then again, she couldn't expect to handle seeing her only son jump into danger and not get hurt right?'

After finishing breakfast the doorbell rang

"I'll get it!" the boy instantly went for the door 'I wonder who could be visiting today?'

He opened the door to see Mark Edgeese, carrying a box, smiling at him

"Uncle!" he shouted in glee before hugging his relative "you're here!"

"It's good seeing you kid" Mark ruffled his nephew's hair "how's your mom?"

"Still not talking to me" the boy replied "she won't talk at all after seeing the news of me using my quirk on saving Katsuki"

"I see" the man hummed before presenting the box to his nephew "why don't you go out for a while and I'll talk to her myself"

"Thanks uncle" Izuku took the package and smiled "I'll see you after a while" and went off somewhere

"Now that he's gone..." Mark looked turned to a peeking Inko "let's talk about what happened to your child"


Izuku was walking down the road holding the package given to him

'Now what's inside this box?' he looked at the parcel 'is it something dad made?'

But before he got the chance to open the box, he bumped into someone

"Oof!" he fell down to the ground "I'm sorry, I was having thoughts and didn't look where I was going"

"It's no problem there my boy" a familiar voice spoke "I can understand that you've been occupied right now" he laughed a bit "though after hearing me you'd change your attention"

Izuku looked up to see All Might in the flesh and he immediately stood straight up at seeing the number one hero again

"Hey there kid" the blonde greeted "I see that your out on a stroll"

"Yes I am" he sighed a bit "my mom's not talking to me ever since she saw me jumping into danger"

"Oh..." the man blinked "I take it she hasn't seen the problems of a hero career"

"Yes" Izuku looked at his feet "I've always dreamed to be a hero All Might, but even with a quirk there's still doubt lingering somewhere"

"Midoriya my boy!" the man shouted as he turned into his muscled self "there will always be doubt somewhere. But remember one thing when you go toward your goal" he smiled his usual smile "do not doubt yourself for it will be you who will act in the danger than the victim!"

Hearing All Might's assurance made him feel better and the two made conversation on how to get into UA academy


Back in the apartment Mark was able to calm Inko down from her worries about Izuku getting hurt

"I'm sorry for not being myself" the mother huffed "but after seeing my son going into danger..." she turned quiet unable to continue

"Ah" Mark realized as he got close to his brother's wife and wrapped her in his arms "Hisashi's death still lingers in your mind huh?"

That was right on the money. Inko immediately cried her heart as she was still wrapped in her brother-in-law's arms.

She'd lost her husband... she doesn't want to have the thought of losing her child!

Mark just let her continue and kept his arms wrapped around her 'it's okay Inko...I feel the same about losing my brother' he looked out the window 'but I can't let that get me... I still have to continue my work as a hero!'

Inko continued her grieving and Mark didn't move a muscle letting the woman cry her heart out. After finally stopping, she let go and stretched a bit

"Thanks for helping me get that out" she smiled slightly "even though I will be worried for my son's safety now, I...I still want to support him on his dream of becoming a hero"

"I know you do" Mark stood up "now, why don't you make dinner tonight while I go look for Izuku"

That got the woman to blink at his words "how long have I been crying?" she questioned

The man checked his watch "about... half an hour"

"Oh dear" she then went to the kitchen "I have to prepare dinner now...!"

Mark laughed at Inko's antics 'just like the first time Hisashi introduced me to you'


Mark walked out on the streets looking for his nephew and heard some metal noises along with some loud cheering 'I think I know where that boy is'

Following the sounds he stopped at Dagoba beach to Izuku breathing hard as he was moving the heavy metal debris of the area with All Might watching his protege intently

"I see that you have found your successor"

The number one hero jumped in surprise but calmed down that it was none other than his friend Mark Edgeese

"Oh it's only you" the man changed back into his scrawny self "I thought for a moment it was the press trying to spy on me again..."

Mark laughed "that's what it is on being the symbol of peace" he looked at the boy moving more junk off the beach "I'm actually surprised that you chose my nephew for your quirk"

"Mm-hm" the blonde blinked at what he just heard and turned to his friend "NEPHEW!?"

Izuku stopped upon hearing his mentor's shout and his uncle next to a shocked All Might. Making him stop his training and ran to his relative

"Uncle!" the boy beamed and hugged the man "are you here to watch me get stronger?"

"As nice it is to see that" the man ruffled his hair "I'm afraid we have to cut it short today"

"What? Why now?" All Might blinked

"Toshinori... you're training a successor and I know you told the boy about your quirk" he sighed "but did you realize that the kid has a parent waiting back home and with the light dimming now, his mom will get worried..."

The blonde scarecrow gulped "oops... I forgot about that" he slapped his face at his own ignorance "at least take my workout schedule" he presented a stack of papers "this should help you for your training on your goal to reach UA"

Izuku scanned the papers and was surprised at the method written on them "Is this really necessary...?"

"It is" the man nodded "if you're going to carry One For All, your body must be in top condition" he grimaced a bit "should you not then you'll be dead after activating it"

"Right" the boy nodded "better tell my mom the news of my training routine"

Once Izuku ran for home Mark and All Might are all alone with latter changing to his real look

"So..." the blonde scarecrow scratched his head "you're nephew eh?"

"Yep" Mark nodded "I'm actually surprised that you decided on him as your successor" he turned to his friend "he has potential to be a hero, a real one, but what got you so sure that he's worthy of One For All?"

"He reminded me on why I became the symbol of peace" Toshinori answered "I felt like giving up when my wound acted up as the villain held a hostage in public while causing chaos for the other pro-heroes"

"Ah, I see" Mark acknowledged with a nod 'looks like my nephew was able to reach out to the number one hero' he smiled before waving goodbye 'although... I wonder how Inko will react to Izuku's new training regime...'


Once he reached the apartment he heard shouting from the door 'yep' he sweatdropped from the noise 'that's what I expected...' lucky for Mark he has Hisashi's key for the door since the man knows that knocking or the doorbell won't get the woman's attention

When he was inside he saw Izuku trying hard to calm his mother down as the woman in question was looking frantic with her eyes spinning at the thought of her boy going through such harsh training

"I see that Izuku told you of his new training schedule"

"Why!?" the mother panicked "why is he pushing himself so hard after nearly losing his life?!"

"That's because a friend of mine, he saw the news as well and was pleasantly surprised that a civilian jumped in when the heroes were stuck thanks to the chaos"

"This friend of yours..." the woman crossed her arms trying to find the right question to ask

"He's was on vacation" Mark answered quickly "seeing so much heroes around, he decided to see if the other pros were able to live up on the profession"

"Oh" the woman blinked but then turned to her son, who was looking hopeful, and sighed "alright" she relented "I'll allow my son to train"

Izuku jumped in joy for a bit and hugged his mother tightly repeating the word thank you

'The things I do to support my son' she took the papers again and scanned them before giggling 'at least this will give me an excuse to keep feeding him'

And so Izuku Midoriya's training of becoming a hero starts...


It was simple enough the boy to execute; wake up, train, eat, study, train, eat and sleep then repeat the process the next day until the enrollment to UA academy

Thankfully Izuku did it without complaining so much. His dream to be a hero always had him push himself to work hard, it's also thanks to his uncle's training from his earlier years that he was able to move out the stuff with only slight difficulty.

Days became weeks and sure enough... months passed on as his training progressed to clean up the beach of Musutafu

All Might watched the boy move a worn out truck with struggle as he finished moving the carriable debris around it

'That boy is really focused on training' he thought after seeing the boy move more of junk heap of the sands "all right let's take a break for now"

After hearing his coach's words he stopped and lied down on the sands getting the sweet oxygen into his lungs. He was thankful that it was the weekend today...

"I must admit young Midoriya" the blonde sat down next to the boy "you have been progressing nicely"

Izuku sat up groaning as his body ached from the training, he hadn't felt so sore since his uncle put him through the muscle armor training back in his childhood

"I almost forgot" the number one hero blinked "your quirk... what is it?"

Izuku smiled before summoning his Musashi eyecon on his hand surprising the man

"This is my quirk All Might" he presented the object "it's related to souls"

"so..." the blonde scarecrow was shaking a bit as he pointed at the eyecon "you can use the souls of the afterlife...?!"

"You are correct number one hero of the world"

Toshinori yelped, with blood spat out from his mouth during the panic, at hearing the spirit's voice

"Even though you are considered unbeatable" the swordsman laughed "you are still afraid of things that everyone shares"

"I'm sorry" the man coughed in embarrassment "I was so busy in protecting the people from evil or evil situations that I forgot things about myself that still need improvement"

"Not to worry there hero" Musashi noted "it just proves to me that outside of your work, you're just like anyone else"

But the conversation was cut short as something landed between them with a mechanical squawk and Izuku recognized it as his time to go home

"I should get home" the boy took his stand and walked to the street "I'll keep up my training until the end All Might"

"Make sure you keep up the hard work!" the man shouted before humming to himself " a quirk that requires a soul" he then remembered his predecessor 'it's a surprise that Nana had a friend with a quirk like that before she passed One For All to me...'


Izuku was eating his dinner with quite the vigor as the training he was in needed a lot of energy to replenish himself

Inko watched her son eat "Izuku" she called making him stop and look at her "I hope you are not overdoing your training"

"I'm not mom" the boy answered as he got to his next plate "it's just that my trainer told me to have a lot of energy"

"I hope that trainer knows what he's doing..." she murmured

"Mom" Izuku called after finishing his dinner "I'm not facing bullies anymore. There are bad people who would be glad on making disaster" he stated seriously "and it's a hero's job to save the weak and protect them"

Inko blinked in surprise at hearing her child's statement on his dream to be a hero. In fact, what her boy just said was exactly what Mark was when the press was able to get him on media... albeit for short while

'I don't care about popularity' his voice echoed in her head 'all that matters to me is making sure the world is safe from villains'

'You really are a controversial hero Mark...' she thought as Izuku went to his bedroom 'no one can forget you. Even if you aren't that popular'


Izuku sat on his bed feeling his body differently than before "I can feel the results" he felt his muscles thicken thanks to All Might's training "once I've finished this body proper condition for me to carry One For All"

"You sure came a long way" Musashi spoke

"No kidding" another eyecon, a green one, agreed "you're almost there... just keep up with what you're doing and All he will pass on the torch to you"

"Thanks Robin Hood" he smiled at the archer

"Although" a third eyecon, grey, spoke "during all this training, you have forgotten about the gift your uncle delivered before training under the number one hero"

"Oh shoot!" the boy panicked as he went for the parcel he left in the living thanks to tough and tiring regime called training "thanks for reminding me Beethoven!"

"That boy still has room to improve" Musashi sighed

"C'mon Musashi, let the kid be a kid a bit longer" the archer reasoned

"Robin has a point there" the composer agreed "there may be need of improvement, but one thing can never change... and it's your time of growing up"

"Heh...you got that right" the swordsman conceded after remembering his life in the living world


The remaining months have passed and All Might was walking down to Dagoba beach to check his successor and was surprised to see the area completely clean of the debris and said junk pile was on the street and Izuku Midoriya was standing on said pile breathing heavily at finally finishing training schedule

"All Might..." he wheezed before losing what little energy he has in him and fell off

Luckily the number one hero caught him before the boy landed on the sand

"I...I did it All Might" the boy wheezed "I cleaned up the beach like you said" he turned to clean area "and you are right, to see this place cleaned would bring smiles to anyone"

"Yes my boy" the man nodded before inspecting his successor's physique "and after seeing your new body" he smiled letting the boy stand on his feet "I can finally say that you have earned One For All"

That brought a smile on Izuku's face. To hear the number one hero say that he will acquire One For All was quite a big deal to him and All Might

It's too bad he has to eat hair fiber for the quirk to be passed on...


Izuku walked into UA academy. His face looked determined and focused

In fact, he was only looking forward bot knowing someone bumped against him. When he straightened himself up, he saw that it was Katsuki Bakugou

'That's just like you...' he thought 'reaching out to grab the number one title and destroying anyone who is your obstacle'

"Are you alright?" a girl's voice spoke to him

Izuku looked up to see a girl with brown hair in a bob cut and a visible blush on her face. If Izuku was being honest right now, he'd thought the girl was really cute...

"Oh I'm fine" he answered "just getting used to the fact that I'm trying to enroll in one of the many prestigious hero academies of the world"

"Oh don't let that get you!" she suddenly went close to him "I'm sure you can pass the enrollment very well!"

Izuku blinked in surprise at her encouragement before composing himself "I believe we haven't made any introductions" he presented his hand "Izuku Midoriya"

"I'm Ochaco Uraraka!" the girl shook it eagerly "let's hope to see each other in the academy after the test" she beamed and went into the building

"What a nice girl..." he smiled


Inside an orientation room of hero course, Izuku saw a large amount of enrollees in the academy. And he had a seat beside his childhood bully, much to blonde's displeasure, before the lights suddenly turned off

"Hey what's going on?"

"Who turned off the lights?!"

Suddenly a flash of lights came on again showing one of the teachers in front of them who was none other than Present Mic. The vocal hero then told the students that they will be split into groups and be put into a designated battle center and in each of them are fighting robots that represent a point number upon destroying them

Suddenly one student, whose name was Tenya Iida, stood up and asked about the robots. He only heard about three of them and pointed out a fourth one on the paper

Present Mic answered that it's called zero point robot. It can be beaten but even with such an accomplishment... there no points to earn from it

After he finished explaining the rules. The hero wished the students luck on their entrance exams and reminded them that to be part of UA academy is to have a plus ultra in their beings


Izuku was the other examinees waiting for the call after taking a bus ride to their exam

'And this is how many people who want to be a hero?' he blinked

"Hey Deku!" a loud familiar and brash voice snapped him out

He turned to see Bakugou glaring at him with usual snarl scaring the others, and few of them stepping back, around the two

"Don't think that being here let's you think you're my equal" he growled

A normal reaction from such scary guy would make a person sweat... but Izuku has known the blonde longer and he was nonchalant

"I'm not" he crossed his arms "but I'd save my energy if I were you" he grinned a bit "you want to waste that greatness on small fry like me?"

"Why you-!"

But Bakugou stopped as the green haired boy used his quirk phasing through the blonde making him shiver as Izuku remained calm

"Like I said Katsuki" he said without turning his head "you're wasting it" and walked away

"I'll show you..." the blonde growled before looking at the people around him making them scared stiff "I'll show all of you!"

Izuku was alone again until he bumped into someone in front of him. He looked up to see the bookish looking person Tenya Iida

"Is there something I can help you?"

"Just wishing to give my comments on your situation" the taller student adjusted his glasses "and from what I saw that blonde person you interacted earlier, I would assume he is your rival correct?"

"You could say that" Izuku nodded "but I don't let his being get me"

"But why would you let him continue his actions?!" the guy waved his arms in a robot-like manner "wouldn't it be better that you told him to just stop?"

"Katsuki Bakugou has always set on being number one" he replied "and when I stood up for myself... he's making sure to remind me, in any way, that he will be taking that spot"

"I see" Tenya nodded "then I wish you luck on enduring his actions"

"Thanks" Izuku smiled 'first Uraraka and now Iida' he thought 'my life must be turning around now'

"All right people!" Present Mic's voice shouted from the speakers above the examinees getting their attention "the exams are about to start and once you see the gates opening run inside and get your points from the robots in the battle center!" he reminded "and remember to have your plus ultra within you!"

The gates opened and everyone ran inside to raise their scores enrolling into UA without second thought


Izuku ran around the streets to see if he can find any point robots to destroy

'Let's see' he turned a corner 'what kind of robot would be used in this exam?'

He stopped on seeing one of the point targets. But before he could engage combat a beam of light struck the mech on it's arm before exploding, he turned to the source of the laser fire to see a blonde guy, wearing a unique belt, posing dramatically

"I apologize for my intrusion, but I cannot allow myself to be the loser in this exam!" was all he said before running off to find more robots and pass with flying colors

'Everyone really wants to pass' he waved his arm summoning his belt 'better suit up' and pulled out his Ore eyecon


Meanwhile in the surveillance room the faculty of UA academy watched the entrance exam seeing the progress of the enrolling students as they continue gathering points to pass

"This years bunch has the potential"

"I agree...no doubt in my mind that the younglings are putting all their effort to become the next generation of heroes"

However all conversation stopped upon hearing something surprising

Eye! Bachiriminna! Bachiriminna!

"Henshin!"

Kaigan! Ore! Let's go! Kakugo! Go-go-go-ghost!

They moved to a portion of the screen to see Izuku Midoriya transform into an armored being with a parka coat

The teachers blinked at the boy's new look

"This is surprising" one of them blinked "even though it was seen in the news... the close up version is something else"

"No kidding" another followed "and I thought only Specter had that kind of quirk"

"I agree" a sophisticated voice, likely the headmaster, nodded "but then again, whose to say that someone else can carry a similar quirk...?"

'Good luck young Midoriya' Toshinori thought as he watched the boy get points 'you have yet to face your real challenge...'


Izuku panted as he slashed another one point robot with his gangan saber 'I really need to train my agility' he thought 'most of it was to strengthen my body muscles'

Just then a squawk reached his ears and saw his condor phone above him "are you here to help me?"

The little bird just nodded and waited for it's master transform again in order to be used properly

'Thanks again dad' he thought while stabbing his weapon on the ground, removed his Ore eyecon and replaced it with another 'I don't know if I could still keep my dream without your gadgets'

Eye!

He moved the lever on his belt making another transformation

Kaigan! Robin Hood! Arrow! Arrow! Forest shooter!

And then the metal bird took the saber and reconfigured itself to become a crossbow

"Now..." he smiled a bit "let's get me a score to be noticed"

Izuku dashed forward to see a group of one point robots, he aimed at them before firing energy arrows


"Interesting" one teacher noted at the power Izuku wielded as the boy shot some robots from a distance and somehow multiplied after using the belt's lever "I didn't realize that Robin Hood had a quirk in his life"

"He doesn't" another teacher spoke "in history, the archer was so good with his bow... it felt like he was shooting from different places"

"Indeed" a hand reached out to the control panel "but even with great fighting capabilities, they are still in the learning stage of being a hero"

A quick press and no doubt the examinees will have to think and act fast in their test


The ground shook causing the students to stop their actions. Another shake and before long a giant robot rose up sending rocky debris from itself nearby buildings to fall down nearly hitting the students below

Everyone finally remembered about Present Mic's warning about the great hurdle called the zero point robot

Fear struck them to the core at seeing such a massive mech and they shouted one line within the current situation

"TH-THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO AVOID!?"


Instantly they ran for their lives hoping not to be the target. Izuku stared at towering machine unable to move at seeing the sheer size of the thing, but he heard a scream and saw Ochaco trapped under some concrete and she wasn't able to use her quirk thanks to the fear of seeing the giant mech

Izuku immediately sprung into action, he switched out his Robin Hood coat and changed back to his Ore form, the others were busy running or trying to warn him of his impending doom

But he didn't listen, all that mattered to him was there was someone in trouble and everyone was too busy panicking to see the full perception of a hero.

'A hero will save the victim from danger' was the only thing in his head right now and he won't break that!

Izuku used his One For All quirk and focused all the energy onto his legs and jumped to the sky looking at the zero robot's head

'You're not hurting her...!'

Dai-kaigan! Ore omega drive!

He reared his arm back and with orange light... Izuku punched the robot's head with everything he's got... creating a big dent and the robot exploded internally before falling backwards

Everyone was soaking in the sight... one person ran toward into danger, that was considered impossible, fought and survived...!


Inside the surveillance room the teachers were really impressed at Izuku's deed, a few even cheered happily at seeing the noble act

But no one was more proud than Toshinori, he smiled having one thought on his chosen successor

'Good job young Midoriya...' he clapped 'you really have potential on becoming a hero'


Back at the battle Izuku used up a lot of energy that he lost his armor after punching the giant robot and he is falling down without any chance to stop

'I've lost my legs when I jumped' he thought feeling the wind against his body as he fell rapidly 'my right arm is useless from the punch I delivered' he clenched his left hand 'I still have my left arm to slow my fall...!'

But before he could deliver the punch to slow his fall. Uraraka, floating on a metal head, slapped his face and used her gravity control to stop him before slowly putting him on the ground

The girl was at her limit on using her quirk then passed out. Izuku struggled to stay on his knees and looked at the girl with a weak glance

"You saved me after I saved you" he mumbled with a small smile on his lips "thank you, Uraraka..."

And passed out from heavy injury

Anyone who was in the vicinity of the zero robot was commenting on how Izuku was either making a great performance or being stupid for sacrificing his enrollment to save some nobody

Tenya Iida ignored the words around him and he stared at Izuku Midoriya's unconscious form

'You were not able to gather enough points' he balled his hands 'and yet you still ran to the zero robot to save someone, if this wasn't a test...' he looked at the green haired boy with respect and slight admiration 'I'd see your actions as... heroic!'

Thankfully someone came in to the area, who was none other than recovery girl, looking at the injured student

"That was quite an impressive act young man, but you still have a lot to learn before being an official hero" she smiled at his prone form "now let's get you fixed up"


A week has passed since the entrance exams. Inside the apartment Izuku was at the dinner table with his mother and the two were eating quietly

Inko wasn't sure to cheer her son up, while the boy himself looked like he just lost his energy to be expressive

After dinner Izuku sat in the couch subconsciously training himself again with a dumbbell and a handgrip

'That's it for me huh?' he thought before shaking his head 'but there are others... maybe I can try squeezing into a different hero school'

His thought were interrupted when his mother screamed and saw her crawling on the ground with a letter in hand

"Izuku!" she shouted in disbelief "a letter from UA academy was sent to you!"

"Seriously!?"

Inside his room Izuku Midoriya looked at the envelope he held in his hands, he was really nervous now

"No point in not finding out kid" Robin spoke

"He's right Izuku" Beethoven followed

"What are you waiting for?" Musashi questioned "open it!"

Without any thought he ripped the envelop open to see a metal object falling onto his table before it activated showing a holographic recording

"Greetings Izuku Midoriya!" All Might waved with his signature smile "I have news about your exam last week"


Inko was outside her son's room pacing back and forth wandering what the academy had to say about her little boy

After what felt like hours, which is really just one minute, Izuku opened his door looking bewildered

"Izuku?!" she spoke unsure what else to say

The boy remained quiet before a smile graced his lips and said "I passed my entrance exam mom"

That sentence really got Inko to tear up... her son was accepted in a hero academy!


Author's notes:

Hello again everyone, I'm surprised that this story has gained attention... but being honest right now, who could ignore My Hero Academia right?

Since Izuku is still in training to be a hero... he will de-henshin automatically when he uses up a lot of his energy (he will transform again as long he can keep his body moving)

Anyways I'm here to tell you that this story won't be getting much updates (like I said in the summary this story won't be getting fast updates)

Oh I almost forgot...since this show takes place in Japan, I'll be having the characters call each other by their last names, since they start with that in their listings, okay?

Stats card:

Robin Hood

Quirk: Arrow construct (emitter)- can create energy arrows. Sadly this requires a bow, to make it and like a regular archer he can only fire one arrow at a time...

Power: 2/5 (3/5 if the wielder was focusing on the right target point)

Speed: 4/5

Technique: 2/5 (he relied more on his bow and arrow than anything else)

Intelligence: 3/5

Cooperativeness: 2/5 (if you remember his story, he's a vigilante from his era and is only cooperative to his merry men in Sherwood forest)

Hope you enjoy this chapter, author out...
