A UA conference room...

"I need more information on this kid." Toshinori said to Nezu. "Everything."

"Already working on it. There were some listed bullying issues in his home-schooling application but I couldn't find much on record at his old junior high. Considering he was considered 'Quirkless' since the age of four that is somewhat understandable." Nezu told the Number One Hero. "It seems like a rare case of quirk mutation that took a long time to manifest."

"I think I've seen this kid around but he wasn't this... big then." Toshinori said before having a coughing fit. "Be honest, do you think my Quirk would be compatible?"

"A strength boosting quirk on top of what he already has? He may never sleep again." Nezu said as he pondered it. "Maybe. We'll need to talk to him and put him through some testing. We're fortunate he wants to be a hero. This quirk of his and his early background would make him a prime candidate to be a villain."

"What about his time training?" Toshinori asked.

"I've already contacted Gang Orca. Seems like the kid is honest in his endeavors and took to the training he went through there like a fish to water." Nezu told him. "He's been training in grappling and less lethal methods of take-downs since his first day there. Considering what we saw him do today, that's probably for the best."

"Yeah." Toshinori sighed. "Nighteye isn't going to like this."

"Hmm." Nezu said with a slight shrug. "Time's running out All Might."

"I know." Toshinori said before looking at the picture in the file again. "Can we trace his lineage? Would that even help?"

"I already have. He is who he is." Nezu said. "Should we arrange a visit or is this something you wish to do... more quietly?"

Both individuals knew that All Might rarely did anything quietly.

"Let's go through this gym he goes to. That might be the easiest, and quietest method." Toshinori said after thinking about it for a few minutes.

"It's a plan then." Nezu nodded.

A few days later...

"Kid if you don't get in, we can do an apprenticeship. It'll take a lot of paperwork but we can bypass some of the schooling stuff." Gang Orca said as he watched the green haired teen pound away at a speed bag that was filled with weighted pellets instead of the usual material. "That is if you stop breaking things."

"Sorry, just the waiting is killing me." Izuku said as he stopped hitting the bag and looked at his hands. He was having some issue remembering what pain felt like. He felt regular sensations but anything above a certain threshold, there was nothing. "Shouldn't I have heard something by now?"

"It's bureaucracy kid." Gang Orca grinned. This kid was fun to tease. Besides he'd gotten a couple calls about today.

Everyone in the gym turned when another two people entered the gym. Well, one frail looking guy wearing a backpack that had what looked like a stuffed animal poking out of the top of it.

All adults in the room followed Gang Orca's lead and bowed to the two entrants of the gym. The owner quickly got up and flipped the sign over to closed and locked the front entrance.

"What's going on?" Izuku asked his unofficial mentor.

"What's going on young Midoriya, is that I owe you an apology." the not-stuffed animal said. "I changed the parameters of the last part of the entrance exam and had it target you exclusively. I was far too curious to see what you could do to finish the last true part of the exam."

"You mean the giant robot, the Zero Pointer." Izuku said. "That thing could have killed me."

The animal snorted. "I think we both know that's not true. I read what was available of your Quirk assessment."

"Fair enough." Izuku said. "You're the principal aren't you?"

"I am. Principal Nezu at your service. I and my associate wish to evaluate you a little further today if you don't mind." The talking... creature said.

"Does this affect the entrance exam?" Izuku asked.

Nezu laughed. "Don't worry young one, you passed the exams with flying colors. My courier and I wish to do a slightly more thorough evaluation so we can get a better idea of where to place you."

"Good." Gang Orca said. "I'll have my guys spar with him and then I will. Kid grab that thing we talked about and use it."

"But…" Izuku was about to protest but nodded. He headed towards his gym bag and pulled out a pair of metal nun-chucks.

The teen then began a somewhat clumsy routine where each swing of the nun-chucks ended up hitting him on the return. As the routine continued the sounds of the impacts increased, as did the speed.

"I see." Nezu said. "Charging up and practicing at the same time. What metal are those made of?"

"Titanium with a lead core." Gang Orca said with a grin. "I met the kid after he took a kettle-bell to the face. That's what gave me the idea."

"I'm good!" Izuku said a few minutes later.

"All right. Get in the ring." Gang Orca commanded.

They watched as Izuku combated each of Gang Orca's sidekicks in a mix of grappling and throws. Even without a height or weight advantage he made up for it in pure speed and strength.

"He's got some real promise." Toshinori said. "Aizawa would love a kid with this type of drive and skill set."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg." Gang Orca grinned. "He's only at about fifteen percent right now."

"How far have you seen him powered up?" Nezu asked.

"About as high as he can get so far. Took a hydraulic press to do it." Gang Orca said proudly. "The blast he let off after that… whoo boy."

"I think I've seen enough of his… basics. If you don't mind taking over." Nezu said.

Gang Orca smirked before popping his neck. "Not a problem." He said as he began heading towards the ring.

Izuku had to fight back a smirk of his own as he stared at his teacher. This was going to be fun.

Twenty minutes later...

"This is getting ridiculous." Toshinori muttered.

"It's a contest of Titans." Nezu said. "Though they're both holding back."

"It's just a matter of whose endurance runs out first. Even then if the kid hits the ground hard enough he'll rebound and end it in his favor." Toshinori said. "It's like he's part marathon runner, part bouncy ball."

"He did clean that beach you've started visiting among other projects." Nezu said. "I believe some money was made on that but that was through one of our support class students."

Eventually Gang Orca grew frustrated enough to try to paralyze Izuku using his sonic abilities.

Turns out Izuku was able to absorb enough of the impact of it to negate it's paralytic effects on normal people. Gang Orca's shock was just enough for the teen to toss the top ten hero out of the ring.

"He's really got promise." Toshinori said. "I think we'll need to institute the dorm protocol earlier than anticipated."

"We have the space. Are you certain?" Nezu said.

"Call it a feeling." Toshinori shrugged. "I always thought it weird that we'd send prospective heroes home when they could be potentially jumped anyways."

"So many changes this semester." Nezu said with a shake of his head. "This is going to be a fun year."

"Yeah. Fun." Toshinori said as he felt the scar on his chest.

A few days later...

"What's this?" Shouta Aizawa, the underground hero known as Eraserhead, asked as he looked at the folder that was plopped down on his desk.

"New class assignments. It's been revised for 1A and 1B. Apparently there's some serious potential issues between two students. One's got an explosive quirk with a personality to match and the other is a really late bloomer." Sekijiro Kan, the hero known as Vlad King said. "Also we're apparently getting dormitories."

"At least that cuts down on my commute." Aizawa muttered. "I'll take the guy who took on the Zero Pointer. I feel like he'll cause less stress in the day to day."

"Man, I don't want this kid if what I've heard is true." Kan said.

"What have you heard?" Aizawa asked.

"That if this Zero Pointer kid's Quirk hadn't kicked in? He'd have been street pizza." Kan told the other hero.

"Yeah. You take him." Aizawa said. "I'll take the next best with combat potential. The one with the Man Hands."

"Pretty sure her file says to not call her Quirk that." Kan said with a laugh.

"I'll survive." Aizawa grinned.

UA dorms...

"Oh this is nice!" Inko Midoriya said as she helped her son move in. "I wonder if they're hiring house mothers or anything."

"Really mom?" Izuku asked before thinking about it. "If they are, go for it. I don't think a lot of kids my age can cook well."

"I'll ask around. Supervising a dorm this size needs more than one adult anyways." Inko said with a nod. "Now... how many All Might posters did you pack?"

"Just the one." Izuku said. He'd gotten a few other hero posters as well but All Might was still his favorite. He was going to be one of his teachers too!

"Well it won't take that long to unpack since you only packed basics, let's look around a bit huh?" Inko said. "My boy's going to be a hero."

There was a small explosion and a door blew off it's hinges, hitting Izuku in the face.

"Looks like Mei's been put in next door." Izuku said with a sigh.

"They did call and ask if you were capable of handling her." Inko said with a nod. "Uhh.. definitely going need some parental supervision." She said as Mei came running out of her room wearing nothing but her underwear while holding a soldering iron in one hand and a roll of toilet paper in the other.

"I wonder if you'll get hazard pay." Izuku mused.

That night at dinner...

"So I can just kick you in the balls anytime I feel angry or jealous of you?" Minoru Mineta asked Izuku.

"Within reason sure. With my quirk it's not that much of a problem." Izuku said with a shrug.

"I'm not sure, is that manly?" A redheaded teen asked another one.

"It's inappropriate, but other than that I cannot judge." The teen said as the lights glinted off his glasses somehow.

"No one is kicking you in the balls honey." Inko said as she set some more food on the table. "Whether it damages you or not I'd still like to be a grandmother someday."

"I still can't believe they hired you so quickly." Izuku said with a shake of his head.

"Well, I can get Mei to take a nap so..." Inko shrugged.

"By take a nap you mean secretly chloroforming her." Izuku grinned.

"It works. At least for now." Inko said.

"We're allowed to do that?" Minoru asked.

"Not you." Inko said with a glare. She was onto this kid.

"Wait, you can pull pretty much anything you think of out of your ass? We're going to be best friends!" Mei half screamed as she started hugging/throttling the somewhat regal looking girl next to her.

Both Izuku and Inko sighed.

"I'm asking for a raise if we survive the first semester." Inko said.

"You do that mom." Izuku agreed.

Early the next morning...

"What's going on?" One girl asked another as someone was knocking on doors and waking up all of the females in the dorm.

"He's doing yoga outside with his mother." Toru Hagakure, the nearly invisible girl said. "we're watching from the top floor's balcony.

"The big green-haired guy?" someone asked.

"Yeah!" The nearly invisible girl said with a cheery voice. "That dude is rock solid."

There was a clanking noise as they got up to the balcony and a pink skinned girl was laughing at another one who was holding...

"Buns of Steel!" Mina Ashido said between giggles.

"It's not that funny." The other girl, Momo Yaoyoruzu said. "I didn't mean to, my quirk activated by accident."

"Does that mean I can melt it down?" Mei asked.

"No." The other girl said as she clutched her creation protectively.

"It's too early for this." Kyoka Jirou said with a yawn before looking down. "Holy shit! How is he that flexible?"

"It's a mystery." Mei said. "With muscles that big you'd think he wouldn't be. He's like a mix of Gumby and Hercules."

"Wasn't there a hero a while back that was strong and flexible like that in America?" Someone asked.

The others shrugged. Hero history class hadn't even started yet.

One super hearty yet heart healthy breakfast later...

"I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat a triple-decker whole wheat waffle and omelet sandwich before." One girl said.

"Or that Momo ate two of them." Another piped in. "I mean I know she creates items from excess calories but that just isn't fair."

"Let's just be glad that Mrs. Midoriya is such an adept cook at feeding so many of us." Tenya Iida said. "Dorm Mother or not, we're a handful."

"It's two meals a day, light cleaning and making sure we do the assigned chores and homework among other things." Izuku said. "It's a lot better than her last job."

"Which was what?" Someone asked.

"Plumber." Izuku said with a bit of a shudder. "Her quirk allows her to draw things to her."

"Nuff said." Kirishima nodded. "I still can't believe we made it! We're really here!"

"Let's get into homeroom and begin!" Tenya said. "Today's the first real day on our way to becoming pro heroes! I can't wait to see who's speaking at orientation!"

"I heard that our homeroom teacher also lives in our dorm but I haven't seen him." Izuku said. "He must be a stealth specialist or something."

"Race you guys there!" Someone shouted, causing all of the teens to start running towards their homeroom... room 1-A.

Minoru made it first, but only because he used his balls.

Class 1A...

"Settle down." A man in a yellow sleeping bag said with a yawn.

"Is that our homeroom teacher or a bum that wandered in?" Someone whispered.

"I'm your teacher and I have excellent hearing. My name is Shouta Aizawa." The man said before unzipping his sleeping bag. "This is the hero course. That means doing unusual things at a moment's notice. Go change into your gym uniforms and meet me at Field Seven. We're doing physical evals today."

"What about the Orientation and welcoming speech?" someone asked.

"Do you want to be bumped down to General studies?" Aizawa asked.

"Where do we go change?" Izuku asked.

The Girls locker room...

"Shh!" Kyoka said as she used her quirk to listen to the boys side.

"What is it?" Momo asked. "That creep with the purple balls for hair isn't saying something untoward is he?

"Sort of. He's crying. Heavily." Kyoka told her. "This is going to be a strange semester."

"Let's just change and get out there." Momo said. "I wonder why he wants this, we all had our entrance exams."

"Maybe he wants to get a starting point so he can mark our progress." Tsuyuu said. "We're expected to give our all, all the time here."

The other girls nodded at that stark and reasonable possible explanation and they quickly hurried to change into their gym uniforms.

Field Seven...

"Okay. Today we're going to do standardized fitness tests but you'll be allowed to use your quirks to their fullest. The person in last place, if they haven't given their all will be put into General Studies. This is a compromise per the principal. I expelled a whole class last year." Aizawa said as he looked around.

He noticed the standout among the entrance examinees currently stomping the ground with slowly increasing force. Knowing the teen's Quirk he surmised that the child was charging up as inconspicuously as he could. The teacher subtly nodded as he realized the teen couldn't charge up by literally hitting himself with his own hands.

Most Quirks had drawbacks and limits. His was somewhat obvious if you paid attention.

"Midoriya, how charged up is your quirk?" Aizawa asked.

"About five percent. I'd be better if I could run into a wall a few times or something." Izuku said.

The man sighed.

Then, Momo raised a hand. "Sir I can make baseball bats he can be hit with to charge up his Quirk."

"Will you be all right with that usage of your Quirk?" Aizawa asked her

"We all had a big breakfast." Momo said with a hint of a blush.

"Any volunteers?" The teacher asked as the teen unzipped her PE jacket.

Several male students raised their hands including one with several arms.

"Line up then. No junk hits." The teacher said with a sigh. He didn't mind that some were rubbing their hands in preparation. Sometimes jealousy could happen. "You have five minutes to charge him up."

The boys relished their turns a little, but the teacher wanted them to save some of their energy for the tests themselves.

At the end of the charge up session, Izuku was ready to blow everyone away.

He did, except for Tenya on the sprinting and Ochaco on the toss.

Later that day at lunch...

"That guy's kind of a jerk." Itsuka Kendo said as she cracked her knuckles.

"Eh." Mina Ashido said with a shrug. "I think he's harsh to push us to be better. I had a dance teacher like that once."

"Hey Izuku! What's with that pink haired girl in the dorms? She not in the hero course?" Minoru Mineta asked him.

"Mei's... a special case. She's in the support class but needs more than typical adult supervision." Izuku said. "Whatever you do, don't volunteer to help her. You might end up strapped to a table at some point." He said with a far off and haunted look on his face.

"You had me at strapped." Minoru said softly, causing most of the class to groan at his open perversion.

That afternoon after classes...

"Homework and then a light Quirk analysis session!" Inko called as the kids all got settled in the common area.

"Quirk Analysis?" Ochaco Uraraka asked.

"Make a list of your Quirk, what you know you can do, drawbacks and everything." Inko said. "My son's pretty good at coming up with new ideas. You all need to progress on your own outside of classes if you want to impress."

"Mom!" Izuku said, his embarrassment obvious in his tone. "She's right though. I've got reams of work on most heroes and their quirks."

"He helped me with mine!" Mei said as she popped up from behind a sofa. "I stopped going cross-eyed too much when I was working!"

"How long were you behind there?" One student asked.

"Not long. I was under it before that!" Mei said. "Good nap spot when the place is less crowded."

Everyone looked at Mrs Midoriya.

"What? I'm not taking her up the stairs unless I need to." She said in her defense.

"Moving on." Momo said with a hint of authority in her voice. "Homework, Quirk work, then dinner.

TBC...
