Deku got up from his spot on the couch, and stretched his arms about. He has heard his mom call him in for dinner, as that meant training was over for the day. He wandered him ways into the kitchen, and slide into the chair slowly. Between the beating he had gotten at the dojo today and him working on doing anything whatsoever with focus other than moving it in his body. Deku thanked his mom for the food and began to dig in, dowing a fish and some rice. As Deku was eating, he decided that just because his mom doesn't want him training at the table, doesn't mean she has to know. He continued to move the focus around his body, getting it to feel like the chains in his muscles. He kept trying to tighten and loosen the chains, to no avail. As soon as Deku took his last bite of fish, he fell over passing out and slamming into the floor.

Inko rushed over to her son as she watched him drop, using her quirk to slow his fall making sure his head didn't hit the ground. Inko picked him up and rushed Deku onto the couch, calling 119. The paramedics quickly arrive and carry him off in the ambulance.

Deku later wakes up on a hospital bed, dressed in a patient's gown. He starts to sit up and looks over to see Inko sitting in a chair, fast asleep. Deku rubs his head and decides to look at his stats, seeing his Focus at 10. He looked around for a clock to try to find out how long he had been out cold, seeing one on his nightstand it read off 8:13. 'Ah I was only out for about two hours. At least I know what happens if I drain my Focus now,' he thought to himself. He got up and stretched causing Inko to shoot awake. "Izuku what are you doing! Lie back down and get some rest," Inko said as she got up to get him back into the bed.

"Mom I'm fine, I already have been asleep for a couple hours, I don't need anymore rest. Trust me, I wanna get home so I can go to the dojo tomorrow and train." Deku was smiling brightly and full of energy.

"Izuku, you've been asleep for two days. The doctors said it was as if you were dead. Other than a pulse and brain activity everything else was working at an extreme minimum. They weren't sure if you were going to ever wake up!" As inko said this her eyes welled with tears and she started to let them out in a waterfall of sadness. Deku just had a face of shock. 'I had been out cold for two whole days! And in a near death state.' He just sat there thinking for a little while until he spoke up.

"I'll be fine mom, it was just some kickback to using my Quirk. I'll be careful not to let it happen again. Plus I am sure that it won't happen again." Deku got up and walked around, stretching his sore muscles. He looked at his mostly drained Focus bar and sighed lightly. He also noticed two unread notifications that he decided to open. Your observation skills have helped you learn about your quirk, You gained 1 Wisdom point. You wore your Focus to empty, you have gained 1 Vigor point. 'Huh, I guess I can get points from training. Well then I might have been lying to mom a minute ago.' Not too soon after Deku woke up, he was released from the hospital and allowed to go home.

Once home Deku was still tired and went to his room, flopping his body onto the bed and passing out almost immediately. As he lay there asleep Inko peeked in on him, her face flushed and full of worry. 'What if his Quirk kills him one of these days. I don't want him to keep going to that dojo. I'm going to cancel his classes.' Inko thought to herself, ready to do anything to keep Deku safe, not knowing Deku would do just about anything to get stronger.

The next morning Deku had woken up and gotten ready for the day, even doing some stretches as if that mattered for his body. He went to the kitchen and grabbed some cereal. It seemed like his mom was still asleep. Deku quickly finished his food and ran his way over to the dojo. As he rounded the corner he could see Mashirao sitting outside, balancing on his tail with his legs crossed in a meditative state. Deku walked up to him and waited for a second before Mashirao opened one of his eyes, "Yes?" He had said it in a course almost angry tone. Deku looked at him with shock.

"Are you okay? You seem kind of upset. What happened?" Deku said just looking at the boy on his tail curiously. Deku couldn't think of anything that he did that would piss him off.

"So first you don't show up to class for two days, then you cancel your classes and have the audacity to ask me what's wrong?" You could almost see a vein popping out of Mashirao's forehead. He also lost his balance on his tail and fell flat onto the ground.

"I was in the hospital and what do you mean I canceled my classes? I don't know what you're talking about Mashirao." Deku face was one of confusion and honestly he was just that, confused. He had absolutely no clue whatsoever what Mashirao was talking about.

"Well then I guess you can't be blamed for missing classes but I am guessing your mom canceled your classes. Well I mean it's not like you can't keep coming. I won't train you but we can hang out. You seem nice enough and your power is cool. I can help you learn about it and maybe help level your skills a bit if I have free time. Just don't bug me too much when I'm meditating. I need to figure out my spirit animal." Mashirao shrugged as he rebalanced on his tail without using his legs to stand up. Deku looked at him kind of sideways.

"You'll let me train here without paying? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Deku said while quickly bending down for a bow, leading to him slipping forward and slamming his head on the pavement, and knocking himself out cold. Mashirao quickly helped him into the dojo and laid him down on the mat. Mashirao then got back into his position. Eventually Deku woke up and studied Mashirao's position and got into a matching one. He sat there and made his mind empty. He looked into his Focus as if it were a sea. It moved slowly in his body and watched it flow. He sat there peacefully until he was brought out of it by a pop up.

New Skill: Meditation Lv 1: You have started down the path of a martial artist. Reach level 10 in this skill to unlock your spirit animal and techniques to match. This skill requires you to have at least 50% focus to use but drains none.

Deku was pumped up to level this skill as soon as he could. He got back into the position and activated this new skill and noticed that his Focus was draining slowly. He stopped to look at it again and noticed that whenever he activated Meditation, it also activated Basic Focus Control. Leading to Deku thinking, 'What if they are really one in the same? Can I duel level them?' Deku quickly went at it and began to meditate throughout the hours. Mashirao stopped to get lunch, and saw Deku meditating deciding to not bother him. 'Huh he only saw me meditating today and decided to go at it right away. What a cool weirdo,' Mashirao thought to himself.

As Mashirao came back from lunch Deku was standing there stretching his arms and yawning. "What happened to meditating there so diligently? Did you get bored like I do?" Mashirao cracked at Deku as he closed the door behind him with his tail.

"Ran outta Focus. I have to train something else until tomorrow. Do you have anything you don't mind if I rip up by any chance?" Deku started to do squats into jumping jacks.

"Dude I live in a dojo and you are asking if I have anything that you can tear or break? We have wooden boards, metal plates, and surprisingly a shit ton of phone books." Mashirao looked at Deku like he was a total idiot, which in this moment he was. Mashirao left for a few moments only to come back with each hand full of boards and phonebooks, and his tail wrapped around a few metal plates. "Take your pick man."

"Thanks Mashirao-Senpai!" Deku looked super pumped up and grabbed onto one of the metal plates using Tear Off to try to rip it, leading to nothing happened. Deku tried again with one of the wooden boards, again to no avail. He tried one last time with the phone book, ripping it halfway through, and his face lit up with joy and excitement. "I DID IT!" Deku yelled out, even jumping with joy.

"Kinda," Mashirao jabbed at him, "Keep working at whatever you're doing." Deku looked at him with confusion and then realized that he hadn't told Mashirao anything about his encounter with that pile of grime and meeting the number one hero, All Might. So Deku decided to do just that and tell Mashirao everything about the days before he started to come to the dojo. "You met ALL MIGHT? THE NUMBER ONE HERO! No way dude, that's waaaay too cool."

"I KNOW RIGHT! I mean I wish I got to ask him more questions, but I got one off. Can I be a hero even if I only started to get my quirk starting now. He told me," Deku put on his best all might impression,"Of course Kid, Hell I only got a hang of mine right after Highschool started!" Deku dropped his impression. "Then he just jumped away with the villain trapped in a coke a cola bottle." Deku grabbed another one of the phone books and used Tear Off again. "Can you keep bringing me these please? Or just a bunch of them so I can keep using my skill?" Deku put his hand behind his head blushing while smiling.

"Fine, then I'm going back to meditating." Mashirao left and brought back an uncountable amount of phone books on a small cart. Deku's face flushed and he gasped as he saw them. "This enough for ya?" Deku just nodded his head and went at it. He kept tearing through the books until he skill leveled up into Tear Off Lv 2.

Tear Off Lv 2: This Skill uses focus to increase your strength when ripping or tearing at something, allowing the user to pull with great force. Increases strength 30% when using and costs 15 focus.

As soon as Deku got his level up, he told Mashirao that he was leaving and packed up. He continued to come to Mashirao's home just about everyday and sometimes staying over the night, with his mom's permission of course. They trained during the weekdays after school and hung out, palling around during their Sundays. On their Saturdays they trained the hardest. Throughout their training Deku had leveled up twice, and spent a few of his points.

"I think that we're ready for the entrance exam Ojiro, what do you think?" Deku said confidently, wiping sweat off his forehead and helping Mashirao off the floor. Mashirao himself covered in dirt and bruises, laughing.

"I sure as hell know you are Izuku. I'm not too sure myself after the beating I just took. I mean damn man. Couldn't you hold back just a bit?" Mashirao Accepted Deku's help up and Mashirao brushed himself off.

"Sorry I couldn't help myself with this being our last spar or even training before the exam, I wanted to go all out and see if I could really step up to you. I mean I guess I'm stronger than you for now." Deku blushed a deep red as he helped his now best friend up off the mat. They had spent months training together, and now it was time for the biggest day of their lives. Tomorrow was the UA entrance exam and the start to Deku's path of being the number one hero.
