Izuku never really cared for the hero profession. Anyone who had known him knew this. His mom, his classmates, Kacchan. They all knew his focus was to become a mime, the best mime in the world, in fact. But people change, their plans, which they had mapped out since childhood, sometimes change.
Sometimes, people see a pretty girl during one of their mime performances and ask them out, which in turn leads them to finding out they're applying for the hero course at U.A. and from there everything in your life just sort of derails from its original plan.
Still Izuku's dream stayed the same and he continued wanting to be the best mime in the world. Nothing could change that or so he thought. Somehow snagging a hot girlfriend and deciding to join U.A to be with her, caused the thought of being a hero become slightly more appealing, slightly not much. His end goal to make people smile with his performances as a mime never changed, despite her advice of also becoming a part time hero.
However, as he said before life has a way of taking your original plans and tossing them in the trash. Once meeting the symbol of peace who saw his "potential", albeit unintentionally, Izuku knew that he might as well try, if not for the sake of being closer to Kendo and keeping the promise he made with his best friend, but to make twice as many people smile like he's always planned.
"HAHAHAHAHA, Midoriya-Shonen I thought you wanted to be a hero not a murderer!"
Midoriya had the decency to look embarrass after discussing with All Might his performance at the entrance exam. Although the symbol of peace thoroughly enjoyed how his successor had performed, he admitted that the mime boy went a little overboard.
"Sorry, but that kid with glasses made fun of my outfit and everyone laughed with him, I couldn't help but-
All might held his hand up to the broccoli haired boy smiling, "Say no more mime-doriya, I along with the Nezu already figured that was the exact reason you annihilated the other examinees. It was quite enjoyable to watch."
Izuku was happy that he didn't get in trouble for how he had acted at the entrance exam, "Thanks All might, you know I'm actually excited to start U.A tomorrow."
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear from my successor!" All might yelled, wondering how many times the mime boy would be called into the principal office.
"UA starts today, honey aren't you excited!" Mama-doriya said to her son.
Izuku, thought about it for a moment. He wasn't lying when he said he was happy about going to U.A, especially since he'll be able to study with his girlfriend and best friend, but then again-
"Smack."
"Ow what the heck mom!"
"Stop moping and go have fun at U.A with Kendo and Bakugo" she scolded the young boy.
"I've already come to terms that you're gonna cause a lot of mischief there and I'll be called up there a lot so just hurry on to school and do whatever you were planning on doing so I can meet your principal already." Inko says with an eye roll.
"Wait seriously?" Izuku said.
"Just don't get expelled so you can't be with Kendo, alright." She adds.
Izuku stared at his mom in awe. He was surprised she was being so lenient with his mischievous behavior, a smile stretching across his face. He knew she always dealt with it in middle school since they never really reported it, but this was U.A.
"Seriously stop, the only reason I'm allowing this is because I highly doubt, and I mean it when I say I highly doubt you'll be able to find anyone else with a mime fetish any time soon and I want grandbabies." She glared.
"Do not screw this up for me Izuku", She growled.
Izuku blushed bright red at his moms' words, laughing. Deciding she was right, and it was better to get ready he grabbed his signature red shoes, yellow backpack, foregoing the tie since didn't even know how to tie it and headed out.
"Bye mom, thanks for the advice!"
"Bye you little nerd, don't screw up!"
Izuku never imagined he would end up here, walking to the entrance of this school. U.A to be exact. For the hero course that he applied to. Where he got in. Class 1-A, not 1-B.
"Man, why'd that dumb nerd have to make me mad so I'd get such a good score, now I can't be with Kendo." Izuku grumbled, finally entering the school. Deciding moping was going to get him no where he decided to get over it and search for his class.
"1-A. 1-A. 1-A. Ah ha." Up ahead the mime boy spotted the label of his classroom and headed straight for it. Psyching himself up he stepped forward to the entrance of the class, before turning around.
"Well, 1-A…time to search for 1-B."
Izuku was just about to walk off when a hand quickly grabbed the back of his uniform jacket.
"Oh no you don't babe, get your ass in there and find your seat." A voice that Izuku had become very smitten with said annoyed.
Izuku turned around to see and smile at the only person who could ever possibly stop his shenanigans.
"Itsuka, what are you doing here?!" Izuku said smiling.
Itsuka rolled her eyes at the "innocent" looking boy. "Don't give me that look. I know you were gonna ditch to find my class. And as flattered as I am, I really rather we both just get through the day with no problems." She pleaded.
Izuku kicked his shoe at the ground, looking away. "But I don't wanna. I wanna be with you." He whined.
Itsuka had to look away from the boy's puppy eyes, annoyed that he could be so smooth, without even trying. "Izuku. Get through the day without any problems and I'll be your assistant for your next performance."
Immediately Izuku went from pouting to excitable, already planning what to do for his next show with his girlfriend along his side.
"Well what do you know babe? This is my stop", slapping his forehead. "Guess I'll see you after school to talk about what we should do for our performance." Izuku said before blowing a kiss to his girlfriend.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to regret those words?" Itsuka mumbled, walking towards her class.
Once the doors opened Izuku was met with the blue haired boy, who made fun of his mime costume, and Kacchan arguing.
Izuku smirked, "Heh, and Kendo thought I was gonna be trouble."
"Who are you to boss me around?" The blonde yelled.
"My name is Iida Tenya. I'm from Soumei Private Academy." The boy explained.
"An elite huh?! I'll have fun blowing you to a crisp!" The blond yelled.
"Is that really how you talk to your fellow classmates?!" Iida yelled.
"Yo, Kacchan!" Izuku said, garnering the attention of numerous classmates. Many looked at boy curiously, trying to figure out where they had seen him before and others outright glaring at him.
Of course, oblivious as he was, Izuku ignored them all, going to meet with Bakugou for a fist bump. The atmosphere surrounding them turning hostile, as he was finally recognized as the green haired boy from the entrance exam.
"Hey! You're that asshole who stopped us from doing the entrance exam!" A boy with blonde hair and a lightning streak said angrily.
"Indeed, you did not sparkle at all!" a French boy said.
Those in the class stared at the freckled face boy shocked.
"Oh yeah, I knew your green hair looked familiar! Blocking the entrance to the mock city so you could take all the points for yourself was a real jerk thing to do. You're lucky the principal let us do a make-up exam!" a girl with round cheeks complained.
Izuku looked at the teens confused. "How am I the lucky one? I did the exam, so technically you're the lucky ones for being able to have a make-up. And besides if that kid with the glasses hadn't made fun of my outfit I wouldn't have gone all out." He said going back to his conversation with Kacchan who began cackling at his best friend's actions.
"Fucking Deku, I thought you were lying when you said all that!"
"Why would I lie about that, Kacchan?"
"I must say, your actions were very unprofessional of someone wanting to join the prestigious school that is U.A!" Iida said with his robotic arms.
"Not really." Izuku deadpanned. "If anything, it only shows how much more qualified I am to enter this school than you are." Izuku jokes. "Besides the principal seemed to think they were fine."
Bakugo laughing even louder as teens who had been in his exam group stayed silent at his admission.
"Yeah, so what'd you guys have to do to make up for failing the regular exam?" Izuku asked.
"We had to do this insane obstacle course!" a girl with long earlobes seethed. "I almost didn't pass!"
"Sounds easy." Bakugo shrugged.
Izuku stared at the girl blankly, turning back to Bakugo, "So what rank did you get?"
"He's so rude!"
In the far back a two-toned hair boy glared at the, in his opinion, unimpressive boy. He couldn't understand how someone so plain could have been the one to cause an entire group of students to have to retake an exam.
"No matter, I'll just prove I'm stronger than him." He thought.
Izuku was about to say something in response to the kids who were still complaining about their retake exam when in the corner of his eye he saw a yellow caterpillar thing creep through the door.
"Um, guys? What is that?" He asked, prompting the class, now all here, to see the thing slither further into the room. It apparently had the face of a human man, who hadn't seen sleep in forever
"It took you all eight seconds to shut up. I want that time to lessen as we progress." The man-caterpillar thing said.
"My name is Aizawa Shouta, and I am your homeroom teacher!" He said, dropping the bag to reveal a man with long hair and a black outfit, a large white scarf wrapped around his neck, along with some yellow slit goggles. He pulled out a set of tracksuits and threw them to the students.
"Put these on and meet me at the training grounds in the back." Aizawa Shouta said.
Izuku couldn't help but light up at the person in front of him, Bakugo noticing this but not bringing it up since they needed to change.
"Come on nerd we gotta change."
Izuku followed wordlessly, as did the rest of the class. A few moments later and the entire class was outside.
"We teachers at UA have the freedom to guide our students however we choose. So, we'll skip initiation and start off with Quirk assessment. Izuku Midoriya… as unorthodox as it was you scored highest during the exam. Get in the circle." The broccoli haired walked into the circle and held the ball in his hand.
"Unorthodox, he cheated!" someone yelled, however as soon as they yelled it, they shut up once seeing their homeroom glare at them.
"What was your farthest throw?" Aizawa asked.
Izuku shrugged, turning to Bakugo.
Bakugo scoffed, shrugging back. "Don't look at me, damn nerd! I don't even remember ever seeing you at P.E."
Aizawa didn't even try to hold back his face palm. "Why the hell did I ever accept this kid into my class.
Izuku turned to the man with a sly smile. "You know why...Eraser head."
The homeroom teacher sent his wraps faster than the class could blink but it seemed that was no problem for Izuku who quickly mimed a wall.
"Bahahaha, doesn't this bring back memories!"
"I swear to god Midoriya, if you don't throw that ball, I will expel you so fast, you will end up miming on the streets!"
"Jokes on you that's exactly what I've already been doing!" he yelled.
"Boom!"
"Ow...Kacchan what was that for?!" Izuku whined trying to rub the pain of Bakugos' explosion from his head away.
"Nerd if you don't throw that ball right now, I will tell Kendo you're misbehavi-
Before Bakugo could even finish that sentence Izuku quickly summoned One for All and combined it with his quirk. Once he tossed the ball up in the air, he hurriedly mimed a bat hitting the ball outside the fences of U.A.
"Oh my god, Mina I think that's Deku the great!" Kirishima, whispered excitedly.
"Holy crap Kirishima, we're going to class with Deku!" Mina said just as excited.
"Kero...wow, Satsuki and Samidare are going to be excited about this. Kero." Tsuyu said, overhearing her class-mates' conversations.
"CRACK!"
"Uh...what the hell did Midoriya just do?"
"Yeah, one second he's tossing the ball in the air and swinging his arm back-
"and the next the ball is being sent outside U.A?"
Aizawa ignored all his kids' questions to read the radar, eyes widening at the reading. "850.5, not bad problem child."
Izuku ignored everyone else, including Aizawa and turned to Bakugo. "There I did it, please don't tell Kendo I was being bad!"
The explosion user smirked, "Whipped."
"Wow, we get to use our quirks! This will be fun!" Mina said, ignoring the intense atmosphere between the green haired boy, the blonde and their homeroom teacher.
However, after speaking she realizes it would have probably been better to keep her mouth shut from the glare, she was receiving from Aizawa.
"Fun, you say. How about we make it more fun? Last place gets expelled." The class gawked at this. "Izuku, you're on thin ice so take this serious or I'll expel you regardless of ranking."
"Rude!"
"But that isn't fair!" Uraraka Ochako said.
"Not fair? Natural disasters, villains, and Quirk-themed incidents are 'not fair'. This is simply weeding out those who can be heroes from those who can't." He said.
"Now, let's do the rest of the tests." For the next two hours or so, the students were scheduled to do multiple sets of tests. He looked over most of the tests and saw that his mime quirk would be of no use and relied mainly on One for All.
The first test put Izuku against the candy caned hair boy. Both rivals lined up against each other, the boy turning his face to Izuku to quickly speak to him.
"I just thought you should know you don't look like anything special, and I'm going to show that to everyone."
Izuku smiled at the boy not speaking. Then slowly he raised one hand, then another in front of the boy confusing him and everyone else looking at the two about to race. Only one knew what was about to happen and he couldn't help but laugh.
"HAHAHAHA!"
"Go!" Aizawa shouted.
"Ow!"
Izuku shot forward like a bullet meeting the finish line in less than 4 seconds, his opponent had no such luck.
"Todoroki, what are you doing?"
I can't go forward, there's a wall blocking me!"
Aizawa face palmed. "Midoriya, let Todoroki out of the box and go back to the starting line...no you know what, just go away you're excused from the apprehension test."
Izuku shot finger guns at his teacher and Bakugo, who flipped him off smiling. It didn't really faze the boy who was already used to this behavior.
"Those two have a really weird relationship." Uraraka said, everyone around her agreeing.
Meanwhile Todoroki was recovering from having slammed face first into Izukus' wall, hating the green haired boy more than he already did.
"Alright now that that nightmare is over, I'll list the rankings up here." Aizawa announced tiredly. "It's overall ranking, to be easier."
"On the note of expulsion, it was a tactical ruse!" Aizawa said, causing panic from some of the students. "Not really. I was so very tempted to expel Midoriya but even I'll admit he has potential and as long as Bakugo is here to keep him in check I guess I'll keep him."
"I'm not his babysitter!" Bakugo yelled but was ignored by the teacher.
After finishing his speech to the class, he looked to see Izuku shooting him finger guns, making him second guess his expulsion. "No, don't do it Aizawa, he can change."
"There are copies of the syllabus in the classroom. Grab one before you leave." He sighed, already feeling an oncoming headache from the mime boy. The group dispersed to collect said object before leaving. After grabbing his syllabus, Izuku left the building, to see Itsuka walking up to him a smile on her face.
"Babe! How was your first day in class?!" she asked.
"Totally great! I was so good. No problems at all" He said, sweat dripping down his face.
Quickly grabbing his girlfriends' hand, he began dragging her out of class, away from his best friend who he saw was coming towards the two with a smirk on his face.
"Izuku, what's the hurry? I thought we were waiting for Bakugo?" the orange haired girl asked.
"Bakugo? Who's that, never heard of him?" He chuckled nervously, before hearing a call for him. The two turned around to see Bakugo jog up to them.
"NERD, I KNOW YOU WERE TRYING TO LEAVE ME BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO TELL MAN HANDS YOU WERE BAD!" Bakugo yelled.
"THAT'S A LIE I WAS SUPER GOOD!" he yelled back nervously.
"Why am I even dating you?" Itsuka laughed, tears running down her face.
"So how was class, Shouta?" Nezu asks with a smile.
"I'm not strong enough Nezu…I'm just not strong enough." Shouta said slipping into his sleeping bag, zipping it up.
"That's a bit unnerving" All Might chuckled.
Authors note: Hey everyone sorry for the late update. Hope this update is to your satisfaction. I know Izuku seems super oc but don't worry he goes back to his cinnamon roll self in awhile he's just like this because the class is a little miffed because of the exam. So yeah hope this is a good chapter.
