Hello, everyone. This girl is back here to update your favorite story. Thank you all so much for patiently waiting for this chapter to happen. By the way, your favorite lizard will be here after not being seen in a long time. The canon characters all belonged rightfully to their owners while the OC characters belonged to me only.

Izuku waited for Shuichi to arrive at the mall. He was standing in front of the video game store while he waited for his older friend to come. Shuichi said that he would be there in the afternoon. Izuku tries to remind himself that Shuichi was probably going to be a little late since the holidays were causing some traffic on the streets. There was no good to be worry. Shuichi could handle himself.

The young boy wanted to tell his older friend that was going to apply for U.A. this year. Shuichi never told Izuku about his personal opinions on Pro Heroes before, so Izuku was a little nervous about telling Shuichi about his plans for his future.

But he was sure that Shuichi would understand about this. The young man had always respected Izuku's boundaries when the former notice something was wrong with the latter never asked him to tell him. Something that Izuku was glad about.

Today is the day the young green-haired boy will tell his friend about his plans. He just hopes Shuichi would be supportive of his decision.

"Hey, Izuku. Long time no see," A very familiar voice said, coming closer to the green-haired boy.

Izuku turns around and saw Shuichi coming towards him. Smiling to see one of his closest friends wanting to spend the day with him.

"Hello, Shuichi-san. It's been a while since we've been here," Izuku said.

"Yeah, it has," Shuichi said smiling. However, the young lizard man notices that there's a small burn mark on his right wrist. Knowing full-well who did it.

"Did that Kacchan guy hurt you again, Izuku?" Shuichi asks, angry that his friend was getting hurt at school by that blonde asshole again.

Izuku tries to cover his wrist by pulling his sleeve down. He didn't want Shuichi to worry about him and his problems. He was used to it. Besides, Kacchan never really means it when he said he'll kill Izuku for wanting to go U.A. as the former. Kacchan would never get into the Hero Course if he ever does that.

"Yeah, but it's fine. Kacchan maybe act mean towards me, but he'll never really hurt me enough to go to the hospital," Izuku said.

Shuichi wanted to tell his friend that this guy should be expelled for his reckless behavior towards him. But Shuichi knew that Izuku would never tell the teachers since the teachers knew Izuku's bully was mistreating him but didn't do anything about it. Izuku had told him what his school life was like. Shuichi saw red upon hearing Izuku's life before meeting him. The teachers never cared about him since he was often considered to be a burden on them due to the younger boy being Quirkless. The only one staff member that cared for Izuku at school was the librarian who had helped him checked out books on early heroes.

"Hey, Shuichi, there's now a sequel on that game we played last time," Izuku said, trying to change the subject.

Seeing that his young friend wanted to change the subject, Shuichi decided to let it slide. He didn't want his friend uncomfortable now.

Once the two were in the store, Izuku was thinking of a way to tell Shuichi about his plans. Maybe he should tell him when they're at food count after this like last time. Izuku had notice there some All Might games again. He tries to look at the picture of the man who told him it was unrealistic for someone like him to be a Pro Hero without a Quirk since it's a very dangerous job to do.

"Izuku, are okay? You look you have something on your mind," Shuichi said worryingly.

"Yeah, I'm okay, Shuichi-san. But there's something I've meaning to tell you later," Izuku said nervously as he plays with his fingers.

Seeing his young friend being nervous about wanting to tell him later on something, Shuichi knew it has to be something very important to Izuku.

"Sure, Izuku. You can tell when you feel like," Shuichi said kindly.

After buying the games they wanted, the two friends headed to the food court. Izuku breathed deeply. He hopes that Shuichi won't be mad at his school decision since they never talk about anything hero related.

After buying their fast food, Izuku soon thought of ways to tell Shuichi about his U.A. plans. The school is almost over and he was going to be in the Support Department, faraway from Kacchan until he helps him on his hero costume.

"Shuichi-san, I'm going to apply for U.A. High for my high school," Izuku finally said to his older friend.

Shuichi was shocked to hear that his young friend was going to try to apply for U.A. High. The National school for future Pro Heroes. It's a tough school to get into. Many kids try to get into the Hero Course, but only a few could even manage to do so. Shuichi wonders if Izuku was trying to get into the Hero Course to be a hero. Izuku never told him about wanting to become a hero.

However, when they first met, Izuku had asked him if he was a Pro Hero since he saved him from getting kidnapped. Izuku had even called him kind and heroic in front of his bully Kacchan when he defended him.

"Do you want to become a hero, Izuku?" Shuichi asks gently, hoping that his friend didn't think he didn't believe in him.

"No, of course not. I mean used to dream of becoming one," Izuku said as he looks down on the ground.

Hearing that Izuku used to dream of becoming a hero one day, Shuichi wonders what could have happened for Izuku to no longer wish to be one. Izuku's a very kind and caring boy with a warm smile. Surely he would have become an amazing hero one day if he was allowed to prove why he was worthy of that title.

"You used to dream of becoming a hero, Izuku?" Shuichi asks quietly.

Izuku nodded his head. It was nice to finally talk to Shuichi about this. He deserves to hear the truth after being friends with him for this long now. But Izuku won't tell Shuichi that All Might was the one to tell him to give up on his dream.

"That was my dream since like I was a baby. I always admired them and inspired to be just like them one day," Izuku said with his warm smile on his face.

"Sounds to me you wanted to be one day. You're trying the other courses, then?" Shuichi said.

"Yeah. Since I'm Quirkless, I can't try the Hero Course," Izuku said sadly.

"It was only early this year, I've decided to be realistic since I know there's no way someone like me would ever become a hero in the first place without the help of a Quirk. I've actually decided to become a Support Agent instead. At least that way I could still help people by helping the Pros with their costume. And to honest, Shuichi-san, I wanted to become a hero that could save people with a smile on my face," Izuku said with a sad smile.

"I think you would have become a great hero like you told me once," Shuichi said, placing his hand on his friend's shoulder.

Hearing his friend telling such kind words, Izuku could feel tears coming from his eyes. How did someone who's Quirkless and worthless ended up with such kind and caring people in his life? Tomura, Kurogiri, Shuichi, and Sensei all cared about him and his well-being like his mother would. Izuku hopes that he'll meet more people like them in the near future. People who don't care if he had a Quirk like the rest of this world.

"You know, Izuku, if you were worried about telling me this? You shouldn't have to. I'll support you on whatever you want to be," Shuichi said with a smile of his own.

"Thank you, Shuichi-san. That means so much to me," Izuku said happily.

Okay, everyone, that's it for this chapter. Thank you all for reading this. Izuku will apply for the Support Department since he has now had a new goal to have for the next Pro Heroes. Also, more villains from the series will appear in this story. Many of which will fall for Izuku's sweet and kind smile that warms people's hearts.
