Hours before the entrance exam began. "So you want me to, show off, everything?" Izuku asked of his mentor.
"Yes, you won't be able to hide your abilities once you get into the school, so there will be no point in hiding them now," All Might recited the plan he had been given. "Additionally this will happen so quickly amongst so many people no one will be able to coordinate in enough time and everyone will have moved on from there."
"So, give them so much information they can't possible formulate a way to use it until it's too late," Izuku restated what he was just told.
"Exactly," All Might smiled as he gave the Kryptonian a thumbs up.
"Well if you're sure about this," Izuku shrugged as he decided to go along with the plan.
"Begin," Present Mic shouted as the gates opened. Surprising everyone a blur shot passed them all and into the city. "Dang, that boy is fast."
"Toshi, he's already scored over seventy points and it's been five minutes," Nezu said as he watched the alien tear through the metal armor of the testing bots like it was cardboard.
"I know and he's still holding back," All Might grumbled as he knew Midoriya was going to break his record.
"How do you know that?" Aizawa asked knowing that he would be getting stuck with the kid.
"Well for one," All Might pointed. "His feet are still on the ground."
"Meaning?" Midnight leaned back in her chair.
"He can fly," All Might answered. "Two, his hearing is so good he can probably tell where all the hidden machines are from their engines."
"Oh come on," Power Load tossed his hands up.
"He can see through solid objects as well, so I doubt he doesn't know where the rest of them are," All Might continued.
"This is bullshit," Kan sighed.
"And he hasn't even begun to fire lasers out of his eyes or freeze them with his breath," All Might finished.
"I hate this, I hate everything about this," Thirteen groaned.
Nezu slammed his head into the table and began complaining. "We need an accurate measure of his power Toshi if we are going to allow an extraterrestrial into our school."
"Yeah, one second," All Might said as he walked out the door. "Midoriya, Nezu said if you don't start using all of your abilities, you're not allowed to pass, regardless of score." The person stationed outside was very confused at the hero's statement but would never understand why until many many many years later.
"Oh come on," Midoriya looked over to where he heard All Might, then he turned to look up at the nearest camera. "Fine, I'll start going all out," he tossed up his hands as his eyes brightly shone red.
"Well that was creepy," Ectoplasm stated as they watched Izuku slice a dozen machines in half with twin beams of energy coming from his eyes. "And that's not helping."
"Yeah," All Might said. "Luckily he's a good kid though right, man can you imagine if he was evil or if there a lot of his people here and were evil. Hooboy, that would be bad."
"I hate you Toshi, last year my biggest concern was that you were dying. Now I'm worried that aliens are going to destroy the planet," Nezu groaned.
"So, he's in right?" All Might asked the obvious question.
"Yes, he is, Aizawa," Nezu.
"Don't make me take him," Eraserhead grumbled.
"I'll double your vacation days if you do and don't try your normal routine with that class. I don't want to find out he's also a telepath or something," Nezu bargained and then looked up at All Might for clarification.
"Maybe?" All Might shrugged. "I mean, Nejire had him try on a pair of glasses one day and for whatever reason we couldn't recognize him until he took them off, it was the darndest thing."
"So how did you do," Inko asked as Izuku came out of his room after watching the video from U.A.
"Well I know who All Might talked to about my heritage," Izuku shrugged. "The principal apparently pushed a lot of my paperwork through a few discrete channels and now I have some phony medical record, plus they accepted me into U.A."
"That's great, now be extra careful," Inko instructed as she hugged her son. "I'm going to worry about you."
"I'll be fine mom," Izuku replied as he hugged her back.
"I have something for you," she whispered as she held onto Izuku tightly. "I made it out of the blanket you were wrapped in as a baby."
Izuku loosened his grip so his mother could go into the apartment and get it.
Izuku loved it, a large bright red cape, with a golden symbol. "Wow, what's this mean though?" he asked.
"I don't know but it was on a couple of the things in the pod," Inko answered.
"I'll wear it with pride," Izuku said firmly as his mother brought out another box.
"That was a gift from your birth parents, this is from me and your father," Inko said as she handed him the wrapped package.
Inside was a hero costume. Large, light blue long sleeve top and leggings, a pair of red boots and red underwear to go along with it. Across the chest was the same logo as on the back of his cape. Izuku wiped a tear from his eye. "I love it mom," he said.
"Well put it on," Inko urged him. Smiling as he knew he couldn't deny his mother, he spun around really fast to blur his body as he stripped and put on the new suit. Standing proudly in the living room, in the suit Inko squealed. "Oh you're going to look so heroic out there sweetie," she said as she clapped her hands happily.
He felt a little goofy standing in a pair of red underwear on the outside, but it also felt right, and hey, he was going to be a superhero, it's a little goofy to begin with.
"The first day of class," Izuku sighed as he walked through the building. He knew where he needed to go since he could see through walls and because he got a map of the school on his phone. Opening the door he wasn't surprised to see Bakugo, because even without super hearing you could hear him yelling down the halls.
"Kacchan, can you not try to make enemies on the first day," Izuku said as he entered the room.
"Deku you worthless fuck," Bakugo ranted as he forgot his anger at Iida and instead directed it all at Izuku who had for the past 10 months not explained what had happened that day.
"I'd start sitting down, our teacher is right down the hall anyway," Izuku said as he found an open chair, far away from Bakugo.
"Really," Iida questioned. "How can you tell?"
"I can hear him walking up," Izuku pointed along the wall. Sure enough when his finger got to the door it opened and the teacher came in.
"Impressive," Iida nodded as he found a seat.
"Good, all of you are here," Aizawa said as he looked around the room. "Now normally I'd give you a test to scare you into proving you belong here, but that has been negotiated down to normalcy because SOMEONE," he forcefully added as he glanced at Izuku. "Had to change the rules on everyone. So quickly and quietly form a line to go to the auditorium for the first day orientation."
"Wow," Momo whispered. "What do you think happened?" as the students walked down the hall.
Unfortunately the person she was next to was Bakugo who was seething. "I'll tell you what happened, him, that quirkless cheating fuck got in," his finger pointed at the back of Izuku's head.
This rumor that Katsuki was spreading would pass to the rest of the class and fester for a while as they sat and got a presentation from the Principal. "And the new teacher for Foundational Hero Studies is, All Might," Nezu clapped as the titanic man made his entrance.
"I am here," All Might said. "Now I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but we will have the entire year together, so I will not take up too much time." His tone jovial and expecting a few questions about himself.
"Yeah, uh, what about this student, apparently he's quirkless, is that even allowed," Kaminari asked as he pointed down to Izuku who had just been ignoring the rumors, content with the knowledge that it didn't matter.
"That's," All Might scratched his head and looked to the principal.
Nezu went up to the microphone. "Exactly why do you believe that one of your classmates is quirkless?"
Snarling Bakugo stood up. "Because Deku is, I've known him my whole life, he never got a quirk, went to the doctor and got diagnosed. So why is he here, who's dick did he have to suck to get in, huh?"
"I assure you, there was no trading of sexual favors and there has never been at this institution," Nezu quickly stated. "As for Izuku Midoriya, he took the entrance exam just like everyone else in this room, barring the recommendation students, and had a record-breaking score of One hundred and thirty-eight."
This information shocked quite a few of the hero course students who had only gotten to the mid thirties and someone had simply done that and then added a hundred on top of it. "So he cheated," Bakugo scoffed.
"Why do you think he cheated?" All Might asked as he began to recall the other boy from the day he met Izuku.
"Because Deku is a worthless loser who can't do anything right," Bakugo shouted.
Nezu and All might shared a look as they realized that this could be used to their advantage. "Well we cannot allow others to believe that U.A.'s standards are not the best," Nezu nodded giving All Might the que to take charge.
As everyone in the room recognized Bakugo for what he was, a bully, All Might stood up straight. "Well then it seems a demonstration of Midoriya's abilities is in order." He waved his big hand and indicated for the student body to follow him outside.
"Young Midoriya, this will just be a test of speed and strength, no need to use your entire arsenal against me, I am, after all, getting on in years," All Might chuckled.
Izuku quickly pushed his way out of the crowd of students as they whispered. "I mean, you aren't that old," Izuku shrugged as he readied himself.
"Principal, on your mark," All Might offered.
Nezu quickly scrambled up on top one of his employees, a benefit of being so small and not giving a damn about what they wanted. "I am ready, you two may begin."
For a moment nothing happened, then the two disappear before a crater formed when their fists collided. "Ahah, meeting me head on Midoriya, excellent," All Might proudly said. The two began to trade rapid blows as their fists blurred, causing the wind to pick up.
"Gah, it's too much," one of the smaller students said as they started to lift off the ground from the gale force winds that were being created by the two.
Nezu's claws had dug through the fabric of Present Mic's jacket preventing him from being blown away. "six one-thousand, seven one-thousand," he counted as he watched the two.
"And finish," he called out, knowing that both of them would hear his voice over the winds. Stopping on a dime, both student and teacher pulled back from each other. Nezu turned to look down at Bakugo. "Now tell me, does Izuku Midoriya possess a quirk or not?"
Bakugo stammered as he felt a headache forming as he tried to comprehend what he saw with what he knew. "No, this is wrong," he snarled as he looked at Izuku who was just standing there staring at him.
"Anyway, we have taken up enough of your teachers time, so off you all go back to classes," Nezu smirked as he thought that couldn't have gone more perfect to deflect and near future inquiries into the alien. The students were abuzz with energy as the returned to their homerooms.
"Dude, that was the manliest thing I have ever seen," Kirishima practically vibrated with energy.
"It's not that impressive," Izuku dismissed never having been one for praise. "I just threw some punches is all."
"Yeah, at All Might," Kaminari corrected. "Dude, you're insane, your quirk must be the most powerful one in the world."
"Please," Izuku chuckled nervously at the attention he was getting. "It's not that big of a deal, there are probably loads of people who could do what I did, I'm not that special."
"Good attitude," Aizawa said as he stood at the front of the classroom. "There is no point in getting a big head about one's capabilities," he lectured. "Over the last hundred years, there have been numerous people who others claim to be the strongest or have the best quirk and every time someone else has come along to prove them wrong." The class was enraptured at what their teacher had to say. "Before All Might who was the strongest hero?"
Many of the students couldn't answer the question except for three hands raised into the air. "Red Riot sir," Kirishima said proudly.
"Correct, he was the Number One hero, with the strongest quirk, until All Might came along." Aizawa walked around to the front of his desk. "Before that was Snow Leopard, before her was Iron Hawk. Overtime quirks have just gotten stronger, some theorize that eventually they will hit a wall with how powerful they get because the human body just would not be capable of handling any more power."
Momo raised her hand, "What if they began to augment the human body."
"I don't know, ask Power Loader about cybernetic augmentation." Aizawa shrugged. "But even then, the technology would hit a limit to what the human body can take; and we are limited by whatever earthly materials we can make. That's a lesson for another time and place, here is your teacher for Modern Hero Art History, Ms. Midnight."
And for the rest of the day Izuku and the other 1-A students were introduced to their teachers and given an overview of the information the classes provided and what was expected of them, along with some question and answer type situations, it was fairly standard for most schools. Izuku had packed up his bag and checked his phone for any messages and noticed he had a few.
All Might had congratulated him on his first day of class, Nezu who had managed to get his phone number somehow had said he had done a great job with the demonstration and it was working to his advantage to hide his true nature. Nejire had sent him nearly a dozen through out the day asking him about his lessons other students, the weather and so on. Amajiki and Mirio sent a couple asking if he wanted to meet up at their usual place.
He quickly typed out a reply in the affirmative as he would like to share and see how the third-year classes were different than the first-year ones. Looking up he stopped as he noticed that Bakugo was standing firmly at the entrance gate to the school.
Realizing that he could fly over or run around him faster than Bakugo could see him, but also knowing that doing so would simply delay what was an inevitability, Izuku walked up to his former friend. "Yes Kacchan," Izuku sighed.
"Don't you fucking call me that," Bakugo jabbed his finger into Izuku's chest. "I don't know what the fuck happened today, but I'm going to find out," he threatened.
"It's not worth the time Kacchan," Izuku tried to explain. "I just have abilities that I have hidden."
"Why shithead," Bakugo snarled. "Was it because you thought you were better than everyone else. Was it all a big joke to you, laughing to yourself about how superior you were to us all?"
"No, I just, couldn't," Izuku replied.
"That's not an answer Deku," Bakugo shouted. "I'm going to find out what you did and how you did it and expose you for what you are."
"Don't," Izuku warned. "It's not any of your business, so drop it, we're here, we can have a fresh start."
"There can't be a fresh start because you don't deserve to be here you cheating fuck."
"At least I'm not a bully who terrorized someone he thought was weaker than him just because he had a powerful quirk," Izuku yelled, his voice carrying across the campus. "Don't dig into my life, just leave me alone." He quickly said as he pushed passed Bakugo and walked off the U.A. campus.
Before Katsuki could turn around All Might appeared in front of him. "Young Bakugo," the number one said proudly. "I think that now is a-"
"You know," Bakugo hissed. "That display earlier, it was all a trick. You know what happened to that green shit head and you're in on it." He spat as he glared at the taller man.
"Even if I did, it wouldn't be my place to say, now, please, try to find a way to get along with your classmate."
"I'm going to bury that fucking nerd," Bakugo promised as he stormed off.
"Izuku-kun," Nejire called out to Izuku as she waved her hand frantically in her spot at the table she and the other Big 3 were waiting for Izuku at.
"Hey Hado-chan," Izuku blushed as he could never build an immunity to the girls natural charm.
"Come on, tell us, we heard you fought with All Might today. How was class? Anything crazy happen? Anyone in class with a cool quirk? Any girls? Any cute girls? Are they cuter than me?" Nejire shot a stream of questions at Izuku.
"We're going to need to put a leash on her or something," Mirio joked as he nudged Tamaki who was slowly eating his snack. "But yeah, how was your day man?" he smiled at his friend.
"Well it all started normally I guess," Izuku answered as he began to retell the days events to the older students.
