Tale 2.2: Fluffy Hero Izuku

It was the day of the entrance exams into the hero course of U.A. High School. All the examinees had gathered in an auditorium where a pro-hero, a blond man with a loud voice named Present Mic, gave them an energetically loud welcome like a DJ. The pro-hero then explained the rules of the test which basically involved getting as many points as possible by defeating three types of enemy robots which had different levels of difficulty and therefore offered different amounts of points each.

The pro-hero's explanation of the rules of the test was interrupted when a black-haired boy with a pair of rectangular half-rim spectacles and a serious-looking face spoke, "Excuse me, may I ask a question? On the hand-out, there are clearly four types of villains listed! Such an error would be the height of embarrassment for a top-tier national academy of U.A.'s calibre! The reason why we are seated here today is because we seek guidance on the path to becoming model heroes!" The boy then turned his attention to Izuku,who was sitting beside Katsuki and pointed at him as he added, "Moreover, you, the one with fluffy green fur and long bunny ears!"

Surprised and a little intimidated by the bespectacled boy's stern attitude and expression, Izuku involuntarily stuttered as he asked, "Y-yes?"

A second of tense silence passed before the serious-looking boy adjusted his spectacles and said, "Could you… tone down your enthusiasm a little bit? I understand that you're excited about being here and seeing the famous Present Mic but your enthusiasm is getting… awfully distracting." As if to support the boy's statement, many other examinees, especially the girls, wore sheepish expressions as they had been very tempted to pet Izuku and even take him back home.

Confused by the bespectacled boy's change of tone and manner, Izuku tilted his head with a confused expression on his face as he innocently asked, "Really?" Almost everyone compared Izuku's confused look and mannerism to that of a confused or curious puppy.

The bespectacled boy tried to come up with sufficiently kind and respectable response when Katsuki snorted in derisive amusement and said, "Four-eyes, take it as a word of advice from somebody who has been stuck with Deku here since kindergarten. You'll have better luck in making a rock sing than making him any less adorable without fucking hurting him in the process."

Izuku turned his attention towards Katsuki with a scandalised look on his face as he protested, "Kacchan!" He then pouted in annoyance which only made him even cuter.

As much as the bespectacled boy hated to admit it, he was inclined to agree with Katsuki's rather rude statement about Izuku.

Present Mic cleared his throat to get everyone's attention and said, "About the four types of enemies, Examinee 7111, the fourth kind of villain that you'll encounter is worth zero points. You could say that they are area traps to the avoided."

Once the bespectacled boy, who was currently known as Examinee 7111, understood why there were four types of enemies, he turned his attention back to Present Mic and bowed respectfully as he spoke, "Thank you very much! I apologise for being rude!"

Present Mic then told the examinees to get ready to go to their respective areas of the arena where they would be taking the test.

--At the arena…--

Izuku was both relieved and worried that he and Katsuki were in separate arenas. On one hand, Katsuki would no doubt destroy as many robots as he could which would mean that Izuku would have a lower chance of passing the test due to having fewer robots available to take down. On the other hand, Izuku was essentially alone and he was understandably nervous about taking the test by himself.

Suddenly, a cheerful female voice spoke to Izuku, "Hello, are you feeling nervous?" Izuku turned his attention towards a cute-looking girl with brown hair, round brown eyes and a cute blush on her smiling face.

In a different universe, Izuku would be reduced to a nervous wreck every time a girl showed positive or physical interest in him. In this universe, Izuku was used to receiving female affection and was not as easily fazed by it as a result. That said, Izuku had received enough warnings from his mother, and had faced enough overly-possessive girls, and women, to know that he should be careful around the opposite sex. Thankfully, his keen senses allowed him to be a pretty good judge of character most of the time and he sensed that the girl ultimately meant well. Izuku was therefore willing to be honest to the brown-haired girl as he nodded his head sheepishly and replied, "I've always wanted to be a hero and help people who are in need of it. While my quirk makes me suited for finding people and treating injuries, it's not that well-suited for fighting."

Resisting a growing urge to squeal in delight like a preschooler and give Izuku a big loving hug, the girl smiled reassuringly and said, "To be honest, my quirk isn't that great for fighting enemies either and I also plan to focus on rescuing people when I become a hero." Suddenly, the girl realised something and asked, "What is your name by the way?" She then showed her open palms to reveal cat-like pads on her fingertips as she introduced herself, "My name is Uraraka Ochakoand my quirk allows me to make everything I touch weightless and float."

Amazed by the Ochako's quirk, Izuku's eyes practically sparkled as he excitedly replied, "T-that's amazing! You can use for quirk for so many things like make obstructions or debris float away, render enemies helpless by making them float in the air or even increase your combat ability by using normally heavy weapons as though they weighed nothing!" Seeing the girl's surprised expression, Izuku realised that he had allowed his excitement get the better of him and blushed in embarrassment as he explained to her, "S-sorry, I tend to get excited about interesting quirks and…" Izuku twiddled his paw-like hands as he introduced himself to her, "M-my name is Midoriya Izuku."

Ochako, along with almost everyone else who saw the interaction between herself and Izuku, shared a similar line of thought about the fluffy boy, "He's SO CUTE!"

A polite cough caused both Izuku and Ochako to turn their attention towards a certain boy named Examinee 7111who then said, "As much as I understand the desire to make new friends, I suggest that you two get yourselves ready for the exam. It will be starting soon." No one noticed or mentioned about the slight blush on his face or how he was avoiding eye-contact with Izuku.

Hearing the bespectacled boy's statement made both Ochako and Izuku remember that they were about to take part in an exam. Blushing in embarrassment, the both of them bowed to Examinee 7111and thanked him in an apologetic manner. After thanking Examinee 7111for the reminder, Ochako suddenly had an idea and asked Izuku, "Say, do you want to team up with me?"

--A few minutes later…--

The entrance examination had begun and the teachers of U.A. High School, including the current number one hero and symbol of peace, All Might, were watching their performances.Afew students stood out from the rest such as a certain blond boy with red eyes who used his explosive quirk to destroy the robotswith downright frightening efficiency.However, many of the teachers agreed that the most interesting examinees were a duo of a brown-haired girl with a gravity-manipulating quirk and a certain boy in fluffy green fur. It was not every day that they saw examinees cooperating with one another in spite of being supposed to compete against one another over who gets the most villain points by taking out the robots. Even more unusual was how the fluffy boy would used his unique combination of quirks to quickly locate enemies by smell, hearing and echolocation, attack enemies with vibration-enhanced paw-strikes to stun them so that the girl could make them weightless before letting them crash onto the ground and even used vibration-based healing to soothe her growing nausea due to overusing her quirk. Even the other examinees noticed the odd pair and some of them were already starting to adopt more cooperative tactics.

Grinning at the unexpected turn of events, Present Mic said, "Dang, we might be having more students in the hero course than expected this year!"

Another teacher and pro-hero, a beautiful and curvaceous woman with messy black hair named Midnight, smiled in a flirtyway as she eyedthe green-haired boy and said with a surprisingly innocent giggle, "I like that fluffy one already. Such an earnest and helpful boy." All Might, also known as Yagi Toshinori, could not help but be concerned over Izuku's safety after realising Midnight's interest towards him and made a mental note to warn Izuku about her.

Another teacher, a scruffy-looking man with tired-looking eyes named Eraser Headwatched the surprisingly good cooperation between Izuku and his "team mate" with obvious interest as he spoke to the other teachers, "I know that I have mentioned about it before but this shows that our school definitely needs to restructure its entrance exam to better accommodate cooperation between the examinees." Many of his colleagues, including Toshinori, felt inclined to agree with him.

Smiling what they were seeing, an intelligent quirked animal of unknown species named Nedzu said, "It seems that we have gotten ourselves a lot of promising students this year." He then turned his attention to Eraser Head, who nodded in understanding before pressing a big red button, as he added, "However, the thing to really test their mettle is THIS!"

--After the button was pressed…--

Everyone in Izuku's examination group gaped in shock as a massive robot the size of a big building appeared. Understandably, many of them had a similar thought about the robot that moved on tank treads, "It's ridiculously huge!"

The robot then attacked with incredible force, smashing buildings into rubble. Certain that the massive robot was the "area trap" that Present Mic had talked about and had zero points, none of the students were interested in attacking it. In fact, many of them decided to run away instead.Examinee 7111was running away as well when he noticed something shocking. Someone somehow managed to knock the titanic robot down onto its back. He, along with the other examinees, stared in dumbstruck shock as a brown-haired girl soon appeared with a dead-serious look on her otherwise cute face while carrying an injured furry boy in bridal-style. Shock then turned to alarm as the girl's eyes became unfocused and her steps became unsteady before she finally passed out.

--Meanwhile…--

Almost all of the teachers felt their jaws drop at what the girl, Uraraka Ochako had done after Izuku bravely risked his life to push her away from some falling debris which could have crushed her. To put a long story short, Ochako was so determined to protect Izuku from the robot that she actually charged towards it, made it weightless for a few seconds, used those few seconds to flip it and finally allowed a certain "harsh mistress"called gravity to handle the rest. As tough as the robot was, it was not designed to get back up after getting "knocked down"like that.

Still shocked by what he had seen, Present Mic said, "Remind me to NEVER piss her off. I'd rather not get thrown into orbit!"

Understandably, everyone agreed that both Izuku and Ochako deserved to pass. In fact, Ochako managed to the the highest score of 90 points, significantly surpassing Katsuki's score of 77 points and Izuku's modest "official score" of 55 points. Izuku's score would have been much higher, as in 78 points in total at least, if the exam allowed points for cooperation, an error which Nedzu was determined to correct for future tests.

--Springtime…--

Izuku, who was dressed in his U.A. High School uniform, was on cloud nine as he literally hopped his way towards his classroom, Class 1A. He was going to start his first day in class in the hero course of the most prestigious hero school in Japan after all and, even better, he would be in the same classroom as Ochako and Katsuki. He was so happy that many could sworn that he was literally glowing or was making ethereal flowers pop into existence around him.

As Izuku hopped away, he was blissfully unaware of how much attention he was getting from various female students including a third-year girl with blue eyes and very long blue hair, a girl from the support class with pink hair and yellow eyes with cross-hairs for pupils and a girl with green eyes and orange hair which was tied into a ponytail that hung from the left side of her head. As they eyed him, many of them found him adorable and were rather jealous of the girls in Class 1A who were having him as their classmate.

When Izuku got to the enormous door of his classroom, Izuku took a deep breath to steady his nerves before entering. As Izuku looked into the classroom through the open door, he saw Katsuki and some pupils whom he recognised to be some of the examinees from the same arena that he and Ochako were in during the entrance exams. While Katsuki gave him a simple wave before turning his attention back to his book which was about martial arts, a certain bespectacled boy named Examinee 7111 approached Izuku and said, "Hello there, I'm glad to see that you have fully recovered from your injuries from the entrance exams!" Offering his hand to Izuku, the boy then introduced himself, "My name is Iida Tenya and I'm from Soumei Junior High School."

Taking Tenya's hand, Izuku politely replied, "My name is Midoriya Izuku and I'm from Aldera Junior High School."

"Ah, De-kun!"

Recognising the female voice that siddenly spoke, Izuku turned around to see Ochako who had a happy expression on her cute face. Izuku was about to greet her when she suddenly hugged him and happily said, "I'm so glad that we get to be classmates!"

As Ochako happily hugged Izuku, Tenya was about to tell her to stop hugging Izuku as it was improper conduct in school when Katsuki suddenly asked, "Oi, is your name Uraraka Ochako?"

Surprised by the boy's rude question, Ochako nevertheless replied, "Yes, I am. How do you know about me?" Rather than answer her question, Katsuki stood up and approached her. Intimidated by the angry-looking boy's aggressive body language, Ochako hugged Izuku a little tighter for support as she timidly asked, "W-what do you want from me?"

"I just wanted to see the girl who got the highest score in the entrance exam and saved Deku's furry ass after he risked his own life to save her." Katsuki's glare intensified as he added, "Just know this, getting the highest score in the entrance exam does not mean that you're the strongest there is. Deku already told me how you both worked together to take down the 'villain robots' in the entrance exams and even earned 'Rescue Points' from saving each other's asses during that exam." Katsuki then turned around as he added, "If you think you can stay at the top without busting your ass to be the best, then I'll be taking that spot from you before you know it. Also…" Katsuki's harsh tone softened as he continued to speak, "-thanks for for keeping that fur-ball safe. Even my old hag of a mom thinks that he's too selfless for his own good sometimes."

Ochako and Tenya wore surprised expressions as they realised that Katsuki was actually trying to encourage Ochako to improve herself and was thanking her for keeping Izuku safe. Relaxing her hold on Izuku who wore a knowing smile at his childhood friend, Ochako sheepishly answered, "Y-you're welcome and… thanks for the advice."

"As much as I appreciate watching students becoming close friends, I suggest that you lot do it AFTER class."

Everyone was surprised as the person whosuddenly spoke from behind Ochako appeared to be a massive caterpillar until it revealed itself to be a scruffy-looking man who was in a sleeping bag. Possessing black hair, a moustache, a goatee and tired-looking eyes, the man introduced himself as Aizawa Shouta, the homeroom teacher of Class 1A.He then told the class to get dressed in their P.E. Uniforms and to meet up at the P.E. grounds.

--At the P.E. Grounds…--

When everyone in Class 1A were at the P.E. grounds, Shouta told them that they were going to do some physical tests while using their quirks. He also stated that he would remove the student with the lowest total score from the hero program. Needless to say, the students were determined not to be in last place.

In a different universe, Izuku would get the lowest total scorein the test. As for this universe, he got the second lowest score instead as his small body made it hard for him to perform well in the tests in spite of being surprisingly strong and agile for his size. In addition, his ability to manipulate the vibrations which his body creates did little to help him in the physical tests.

Luckily for the boy who got the lowest total score, acertain short boy with purple balls on his head named Mineta Minoru, Aizawa claimed that the threat of being removed from the hero program was just a ruse to force everyone to do their very best. Little did anyone in the class realise that Aizawa was actually serious but decided not to remove anyone from the class as they all showed promise as future heroes.

--Later that day…--

Izuku sighed as he mentally groaned, "Why does it always happen to me?"

Minoru on the other hand was crying bloody tears of envy as he growled under his breath, "That lucky son of a bitch!"

As for what was happening, Izuku was currently being hugged like a plush toy by Ochako while the other girls of Class 1A fawned over him as though he was an adorable puppy, kitten or bunny. Although Izuku would never hate that kind of attention, he would be lying if he claimed that he never got tired of being treated like a small animal or a small child in spite of his actual age and maturity.

The girls were not the only ones who were affected by his cuteness as a certain quiet boy with the ability to command animals named Kouda Kouji was also tempted to pet Izuku like how he would pet his own pet rabbit. Not even Tenya had the desire, or the courage, to stop the girls from fawning over Izuku. Katsuki, who was already used to Izuku's uncanny ability to charm everyone with his cuteness without even trying, simply ignored the group with practised ease while listening to the ramblings of a certain manliness-obsessed red-head named Kirishima Eijirou.

Little did any of the students of Class 1A realise of the trials that they would face in the near future.

"-but that is a story for another time…"

Author's Notes:

This ends the second part of my Fluffy Hero Izuku storyline. So, what are your opinions about Ochako being the MVP of the entrance exam arc? Let me know in the comments.

The next story will be about Izuku becoming a minion master.

Also, I have a very, very crazy/crack-y idea. To present my idea as a simple title: 'Hentai Kamen Izuku'

Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
