A Cat with the Heart of a Hero

by Thicc Boah

Izuku believes that he's a hero, even without a quirk; just because he's been saving a stray cat for the past two years. Not even the words of his Hero brought him down. But what happened when he fails to protect it that same day? His world crumbles to pieces. Yet, when you touch bottom, all that's left is to go up, with a new Quirk, and a new resolution of a hero.

9. Ch - 9 Not Enough

A/N: What's up?! As always, thanks to all of you for reading this. Now let's go with some answers that there's a long chapter ahead.

Thanks to the people for the suggestions of his costume. But I already had decided. It's an original costume whit a lot of meaning behind it. Though, you're not going to see it in this chapter.

"Why did Izuku's arms explode when he hit the zero pointer?" Have you ever punched a wall? If you're not stupid then you probably haven't but you fist end up hurting. That pain is the force you applied to the wall. Now imagine how much force Izuku applied to not only shatter but decapitate the zero pointer. For every action, there's a reaction. And well, he doesn't have a power that makes his body more resistant like OFA. If you want to have a mental image. For those who had seen Attack on Titan, remember that time when Eren miss his punch against Annie in the forest and instead he hit the ground? It's kind of like that.

Okay, that's all for now, if there were more I probably forgot about them and it's going to be a pain in the ass when I remember them.

Without further ado.

IKUZOOOOOOO!

Not Enough

Even though the three pros told him he passed, Izuku still couldn't relax.

It had been 3 days since the entrance exam.

Yesterday as promised, he went to do his job with Uwabami, it was just a small commercial, it wasn't at the scale of the last one but that didn't bother him at all. If he is honest, being famous can get really awkward, so this was fine.

But leaving that aside, Izuku has been training harder than ever this past three days, incapable of calming down until he gets the letter from U.A.

That's why he was now in a special place.

He wasn't going to lie he was really nervous about what he was going to do.

"Umm… Izuku, you're been standing there for 10 minutes now." Neko informed him, losing her patience by the second.

"But… it's this alright? Does this can still be done?" Izuku had his doubts about it.

"There's only one way to find out." She was right, staying there he would accomplish nothing.

Taking a deep breath, the cat boy entered the building.

The first thing he saw was a big sign with the words: 'Martial Arts Dojo' There was no turning back now.

The reception area was empty strangely enough; however, he could already hear the sound of people training.

Midoriya opened a door from where all the noise was coming. Behind the door he found multiple people sparing, doing shadow fighting, training their bodies or practicing their stances. It left him speechless.

"Hey there, young lad." A deep voice startled him, turning his head, Izuku saw a huge minotaur approaching him with a friendly smile. "We weren't expecting anybody today, but we're always open to new faces. Tell me, kid, do you want to join the dojo?" The man didn't even let him introduce himself.

"I…" It was still hard to state his motive to be here. "I-I."

"Just do it!" Neko yelled out of impatience.

"I'M HERE TO CHALLENGE THE DOJO!" He shouted with his eyes closed. The noise of training came to an abrupt end. Izuku opened his eyes slowly, everyone was looking at him. "This was a bad idea." He regretted his decision.

"Hahahahaha!" The minotaur began to laugh hysterically. "To think I would live to see something like this. Hahaha! Alright, kid, I accept your challenge."

"Master, are you sure?" One of the people training asked the minotaur.

"He's the master of the dojo…" Izuku's face flared up in embarrassment. He just shouted on his face.

"Yeah, I'm sure. This was something that happened often in the era before Quirks even existed. Now on days, things like this had been forgotten, so I'm a little excited about it." The master of the dojo confessed with a little blush on his face. "Would you let this old man have his selfish request and play along?"

The room fell silent for a moment. "YES!" Every student, young or old, yelled at the same time, bowing to the minotaur who was their master.

It left Izuku flabbergasted seeing how much respect they have for this man; he must be someone amazing.

"Now, tell me, boy. Have you practiced martial arts before?"

"I have practiced on my own, but I'm probably still a novice." Izuku was more relaxed now. They seemed like good people.

"I see. Then go change yourself into proper attire." The minotaur handed him the uniform of his dojo. "I'll pick one of my students to be your opponent and we'll see from there."

Doing as he was told, Izuku returned minutes later wearing the uniform. The clothes definitely made the man. He felt more powerful.

He stepped up on the little arena were another guy of around his age was waiting.

"You said you were a novice so I choose someone around your capabilities." The master said. "The rules are simple. It will be a point base fight. Whoever gets two out of three points wins. The points would be obtained by getting a clear hit on your opponent, pushing them out of bounds or if the opponent surrender. Knocking them out will mean an instant win. Is that clear?"

"Yes." The two opponents said at the same time.

"Okay, get ready." The student took his stance he has been practicing, yet Izuku stood still. "Um… kid, get ready." The master said to Izuku. Just like him, everyone was looking at the cat boy weirdly.

"I'm ready, sir," Izuku reassured.

Everyone only could think he was a dumbass. He was truly a novice.

"Suit yourself." The master of the dojo shook his head in disappointment. "This might end quicker than I thought." He muttered to himself. "Fight!"

*Boom!*

Everybody's eyes went wide when they saw the student falling unconscious. Izuku had his fist were the stomach of the student was a moment before. All of that happened in less than a second.

The green head had a panicked face. "H-he had his guard wide open, s-so I took it. W-was that okay, sir?" He feared he had done something illegal. Izuku was not expecting to knock him out so easily.

A wide grin appeared on the minotaur. He was completely wrong about this kid.

After that more students were chosen to fight, each stronger than the last one. Izuku pretty much one-shot every single one of them one way or another. If they took the initiative and attack first, they met a counter. If they played it safe, he would bait them and finish it off. 6 out of 6 fights won by him.

"This hurts my pride a little as the master of the dojo. But we can use this experience to learn what we lack." The minotaur said. "But this is not over yet. It's time for my stellar student." The master had a prideful smirk saying those words. "Kendo!"

"It feels like he just a Pokémon trainer sending his max-out starter to finish the job," Neko commented nonchalantly.

"How do you even know about the franchise? You're a cat." Izuku questioned with a sweat drop running down his temple.

"I have my year." The feline said with pride.

A girl stepped forward. She was of the same age as him. The girl had ginger hair with a high ponytail on the left side. Her teal eyes burning with confidence but there was also… kindness.

Izuku took a deep breath. The master wasn't kidding when he said she was her stellar student. She could perfectly be at the level of the recommended students like Inasa or Yaoyorozu.

"It's not to brag or anything. She's super strong. She even got accepted into U.A." Said the master of the dojo with a wide smile on his face.

"He's totally bragging." Izuku and Neko along with all the students there thought that.

"Master, please. You're embarrassing me." Said the girl known as Kendo with a faint blush on her cheeks. "Besides I haven't received an answer from U.A. yet."

"Cute~" Every male including Izuku thought the same seeing her reaction.

"I'm sure you got in. You're amazing after all." The minotaur said without a trace of pride, he genuinely believed it.

"Thank you, master." Kendo bowed respectfully to the man who has seen her grown into a splendid fighter.

"So, how about we make this last fight more interesting?" The minotaur spoke again. "Because she will become a hero in the future, how bout we allow Quirks to be used in this fight?"

"I don't have any objections," Izuku answered.

"If he doesn't have any them me neither," Kendo responded, though she felt like her master was forcing it a little just for her.

"We're going to see big sis Kendo using her Quirk on a fight." One of the students said to another in excitement.

"This is gonna be awesome." Other commented.

"Go get him, Nee-chan!" Another girl shouted.

"Nee-chan! Nee-chan! Nee-chan!" Everyone began to cheer for her. Only making her even more embarrassed.

"Pfft—" Izuku hold his laughter. Even people older than them were calling her big sis. It was clear she was the heart of this place.

"Ah! Everyone just is silent!" She shouted in exasperation with a blush on her face. "And you." She pointed at him. "Don't laugh, okay? Or I'll make you regret it."

It was hard but he managed to not laugh.

They both stepped into the boundary field.

This time, Izuku took a stance.

"Tiger style… Is he really a novice?" Kendo wondered.

"Fight!"

Both of them stood still. Izuku had to respect his opponent now, not only he knew his previous ticks wouldn't work with her, but the new factor of Quirks being allowed put him in disadvantage, while his Quirk could be seen on his body, he didn't know his opponent's.

Kendo made the first move, getting close and throwing a right jab at him. The cat boy avoided it responding with a counter at her chest.

She grabbed his fist with her left hand and pulled him closer while moving her body down, in a swift movement she carried his body over her shoulders, taking him by surprise.

Kendo threw him trying to take him out of bounds by making him fall on his back.

Izuku landed on his feet in an awkward position due to his opponent still held his fist. He used his other to swipe backward in an attempt to free himself.

It forced her to retreat giving him some space to breathe. She hadn't even used her Quirk and he almost lost.

The pause didn't last for long as Kendo went back with a barrage of hits. Izuku could barely dodge them.

She then went for a rotatory kick at his ankles, forcing him to jump to avoid it.

Kendo continued with her momentum attacking with the back of her palm.

Still, in the air, Izuku decided to block it like the zero pointer, it didn't have the strength to push him out anyway.

At the last moment, her hand expanded to the size of his body. The force of the impact exceeded his expectations, taking him out of bound.

The green-haired boy recovered faster but he still had a look of disbelief while seeing the girl's giant hand.

"Hey, would you stop that?" Kendo asked him with a frown on her face.

"What?" He asked back, not understanding why she was upset.

"It's plainly obvious your holding back. Are you looking down on me because I'm a woman?" She said a little pissed.

"What? No, I haven't been—"

"Cut it, kid." The master was the one who interrupted. "You took the tiger stance but didn't use any move."

Izuku's eyes widened. Why was he expecting to fool them when they have done this for more time than him?

"I got carried away and tried to use what I knew and regret it a second after." He confessed. "It doesn't have to do with your gender or anything… It's just… I can't allow myself to go all out. For the sake of everyone's safety."

"I'm not a fragile princess or anything. I can take it." Kendo protested.

Izuku raised his hand to show her. He pulled out his claws slowly to make the point clear. "Unless you have a hardening type quirk. I don't think you can."

Now they understood. They were no strangers to the tiger style so if he used any move with those claws, he could easily draw blood. Izuku was at a disadvantage because he simply couldn't use his Quirk.

"But that doesn't matter." Izuku stood up and walked into the bounded field. "If I had to rely only on my Quirk for everything, I wouldn't get far in the path I've chosen." A smile appeared on his face. "I intend to win this."

Kendo smiled back. "You can try."

They both took their stances again.

"Fight!"

This time Izuku took the initiative immediately rushing at blinding speed. Punching forward.

Something like this wouldn't work on Kendo. Though it was hard to dodge she opted to block it by enlarging her hands in front of her. A perfect shield.

Yet the impact never came.

"Kendo, behind—!" Someone shouted.

It was too late though as a kick took her out of bounds.

"Tsk." Izuku clicked his tongue. That warning made her react for a little preventing it from being a knockout. That was his only opportunity to win. In a long fight, she had the upper hand so he needed to end it quickly.

*Smack!* with a karate chop the master sends to sleep the student who shouted. "If anyone interferes like that again! They will be suspended for a month!" He yelled in anger.

The ginger girl was still recovering from the impact; however, she was more shocked than anything else. "He… used my Quirk against me…" She thought. Yes, Izuku had forced her to block like that. By having such a shield, she lost view of him and capitalized on that. That was his intention all along. The only way to pull something like that was by having an understanding of her Quirk, which was the shocking part because he... "He only saw it for a few seconds." It was scary that he figured her out so easily.

"Are you okay? I didn't hit you that hard, did I?" Izuku offered his hand in worry after seeing her staying still for too long.

Kendo broke from her trance and accepted the gesture. "How did you do it?" She asked.

"Excuse me?" The cat boy didn't understand.

"My Quirk. You figure it out so easily."

"Oh, I'm… just a big fan of Quirks, so I tend to analyze them." It was a little embarrassing to admit that. "And… I practiced to do it quickly to take countermeasures." That last sentence put a little blush on his cheeks. "Your Quirk only enlarges your hands, right? Of course, if it was any other part of your body you would've already used it in the first match, like your feet or something. It also seemed to enhanced your strength when it hit me. It's super useful in a fight and with your training—*Mutter* *Mutter* *Mutter*" Izuku kept spitting information about her Quirk. It was a little creepy how accurate it was, to be honest.

"O-okay, I get it. You can stop now." Kendo intervened, sweat running down her temple.

"Ah… S-sorry, I thought I already got rid of that." Izuku scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He now only does it inside of his head so he lowered his guard when he was asked about it.

"Anyway, I guess is my loss." The girl admitted.

"Eh? There's one last match to decide the winner." He stated.

"But someone intervened. If it wasn't for that I would be unconscious right now."

"That's just an unknown factor like in real life, it can't be helped. Let's just have the final match I want to see how far I can go against you." Izuku replied with a bright smile.

Kendo covered her eyes from such a blinding smile. It was hard to refuse him. "Okay, let's do it." She gave in. "But I won't go easy on you." The cat boy nodded happily. "I'm Itsuka Kendo by the way."

"Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you. Shall we begin?"

A few inches later.

Izuku laid down on the floor looking at the ceiling of the dojo. It was a complete and one-sided loss. The same tricks wouldn't work on Itsuka twice. This outcome wasn't a surprise for him.

"Agh, this feels like an empty victory." Itsuka was feeling down about this. She will definitely teach a lesson to whoever interfered with her fight.

After that, the cat boy prepared to leave, saying goodbye to everyone.

Last it was Kendo. "If we meet again, teach me how to fight better," Izuku said while shaking her hand.

"Sure." She smiled.

And like that Izuku left.

"Wait, he said his name was Izuku Midoriya?" A student asked his master.

"Yes, why?"

"Wait, so it was him!" The student freaked out as he pulled his phone. "He's famous. Look!" He showed them the cat boy's last commercial.

"So that's why he looked so familiar." Another student commented.

"I heard a rumor that he applied to U.A. just like Kendo."

To that, the ginger girl gave a derogatory look at her master who was bragging about her before the fight.

"U-um, Kendo-chan, your gaze is hurting me." Said the minotaur, shaking at her stare.

"Good." Was her only response.

XOX

Two days after.

Izuku was in his room training.

"So, why aren't we going out today?" Neko asked.

"Just to be sure. The letter from U.A should arrive around these days, so I'm staying home." He answered.

"And when do you think it's gonna arrive?"

"It would be convenient that arrived right now, but—"

The door of his room burst open with a worried Inko. "Izuku! T-t-t-the letter from U.A!" She shouted showing him the precious piece of paper on her hand.

There was a pause for a moment. "You're starting to scare me." The feline in his head stated.

Now alone in his room, he opened it to find a disk along with some papers. "A hologram again." He placed it over his desk.

"I'm on a screen!" The voice of the number one hero echoed his room.

"All Might?!" It was a complete surprise. Izuku checked the letter again, confirming that it was from U.A. indeed.

"I'm also on a screen!" Principal Nezu appeared on All Might's shoulder. "Hello, Izuku Midoriya-Kun. You're probably wondering why is All Might here, right?" Was he that easy to read? "Well, you see…"

"It's been decided that I'll work at U.A.!" Izuku's eyes widened at this new information. But why telling him? "And even though you don't have IT. You still were a candidate and someone I hold in high regard. That's why I wanted to tell you."

"Coughum. This is nice but we don't have all the time in the world." Nezu intervened. "In the written test you did great. It wasn't a perfect score like the recommended one, but I guess I went a little overboard with it."

"You and Midnight both." Izuku declared as a chill ran down his spine remembering that day.

"At the practical, you got 0 points. You, of course, failed." All Might stated.

Izuku already knew that yet he was calm. He was waiting to see if what the trio of pros told him was true or not.

"But wait! There's more!"

"Behold this screen!" Nezu pressed a button.

"Excuse me." The girl with the bob cut appeared. Izuku recognized her immediately.

"After the exam, this little lady came to make a petition"

"Uhh, sorry to bother you, but do you know the boy with the curly hair and cat features? He had like a 'Plain' look. Do you know who I'm talking about." She tried to explain with hand gestures.

"That's me." Izuku thought.

"Wait, hold up. You're okay with her calling you plain?" Neko intervened for a moment.

"It's not that big of a deal—"

"What part of you is plain? She could have used something like dumb or idiotic." The feline continued.

"Hold up." Those last words weren't what he was expecting. Unfortunately, the video didn't have a pause button, so he couldn't retaliate.

"Would it be possible to give him my points?!" the girl yelled.

Izuku froze with her words. "Wait! You don't have to—" He stopped mid-sentence remembering that it was pre-recorded and even if it was not, she couldn't hear him.

"He called himself a Zero pointer, so I figured he didn't earn any at all." A lump formed in Izuku's throat. "Please at least give him the points he lost because of me! That boy saved my life!"

"Much more than any Quirk. It's your actions that have touched people."

"There were more than Villain points!" Nezu spoke. "Did you think there'd be a department of heroic that rejects an entrant for doing the right thing?"

"That's impossible!" The symbol of peace took it from there. "There were Rescue points given by the judges. Izuku Midoriya: 100 points! And while we're at it. Ochako Uraraka: 45 points! This means… You passed, my boy!"

"This is/ Your hero academia!" They both finished.

After that, Izuku got a message on his phone from All Might himself, telling him to meet him at Dagobah beach.

An hour later, he arrived just to run into… "Kirishima-Kun?"

The red-haired boy grinned widely. "Dude!" They bumped fist without even thinking. "He called you too?"

"Yeah," Izuku responded.

They both entered the beach, spotting the scrawny person that called them.

"All Mi—ufgh!" Eijiro shouted but Izuku covered his mouth immediately.

"Bro! I know you're excited but he's in small might form outside. Don't yell that so carelessly." Izuku reprimanded his brother.

Eijiro lowered his arm slowly as Izuku took his hand off his mouth.

"Small might?" Kirishima questioned, hearing that for the first time.

"It sounds better than 'Half might'."

"Pff-hahaha! What the hell is that? I sound like if somebody couldn't get a full boner or something. Hahahaha!"

"See, that's why it's small might." Dick jokes aside, they met with the hero.

"Hey, you two. Congrats on passing the exam." Toshinori greeted them with a high five. "Just so you know, I wasn't part of the judges, that would've been…" He looked at Kirishima for a second. "Unmanly."

"Thanks." The two teens replied

"But, man, it was surprising to hear that you're going to be a teacher at U.A." Ejiro commented.

"You were going to look for a successor among the students, right?" Izuku spoke, reminding them how sharp he was.

"Ah, right. Togata-senpai. I forgot about him." Eijiro contemplated his hands. He still couldn't believe he was that successor. "One for All is so strong that even with my hardening, I still broke my body with just a punch. I still wonder if I was the right choice…" *SMACK!* "Ouch! What was that for?!" The hardening boy yelled at Izuku after he hit him on the head.

"That's what you get for thinking like that." The cat boy answered with a serious face. "Do you want to know why did we passed on it and left it for you?" The two One for All users stood quiet, they didn't think there was another reason besides the ones that were already given. "Because no matter if it was you, Togata-senpai or me, we all would have done amazing things with it."

"Then why me?"

"You thought we don't notice? Those insecurities deep in your heart? Even now you still think you're not enough to be a hero." Eijiro froze with his words. "You still don't believe in yourself. But now you have a great power so quit thinking like that." Izuku pointed at him. "It wasn't decided base on who would do better but who needed it the most."

All Might's eyes widened in realization. Izuku saw the succession as a tool to save somebody else.

"So have more faith in you like I do. Besides, it was your first time using it, just give it some time." The green head finished, holding his fist up.

The redhead followed the gestured and bumped it with a smile on his face.

"Young Midoriya is right," Yagi spoke from there. "Imaging you ask a guy who suddenly sprouted a tail to do tricks with it. He wouldn't know how to control it properly. Same story here."

"Yeah, I cut myself with my claws when I got my Quirk and my tail was a disaster to control," Izuku confessed while laughing.

"Hahaha. I just remember something." Eijiro said. "I did this to myself the first day my hardening manifested." He pointed to the scar above his right eye.

"See, with time you'll learn to tone down the power level and saved your body from the drawbacks." All Might explained as he picked to empty cans form the sand. "The more you build the vessel. The more you can control the power within. Like this!" He buffed up and squished the cans in one hand.

"Wait, isn't that All Might?! How did he get here?!" A couple shouted from the distance.

*Smack!* Izuku facepalmed hard. What's the point of trying to keep it a secret if these two muscle-heads are so careless?

They had to apply the Joestar secret technique.

XOX

The next day, Izuku was in the city waiting for people to celebrate they passed.

It was a day with the boys.

"Hey, Midoriya/Izuku." Two voices called his name.

Eijiro Kirishima's eyes met with Inasa Yoarashi's. They stared at each other until Izuku spoke.

"What's up, guy… Um, I think introductions come first." He cleared his throat. "Kirishima-Kun, Inasa Yoarashi. Inasa-Kun, Eijiro Kirishima. Please get along."

The two of them kept staring at the other until…

"Yo!" Eijiro swung his hand.

"Hey!" Inasa did the same. They collide in a loud handshake. It was brotherhood at first sight.

"Haha, I knew you two would get along just fine," Izuku spoke with a wide smile. "Kirishima-kun and I got accepted into U.A. and Inasa-kun was accepted in Shiketsu. So, I thought we should go out to celebrate."

"That sounds manly!" The redhead exclaimed.

"Awesome! What are we gonna do?!" The big guy asked in excitement.

"Um, Let's go for lunch, then to the arcade and end the day with a movie. If you want to do something else just say it." It was pretty normal stuff for teenagers like them.

"Oh, oh, oh! I want to see a movie too!" A new voice interrupted them. Their three heads moved slowly in the direction of Izuku's right arm. There, clinging to his arm was…

"Toga?!" Izuku screamed in his head. "How? I didn't feel her presence at all." And judging by the faces of the other two, they didn't either.

"Um, Midoriya, who's her?" Eijiro asked.

"Oh uh… What do I do? How do I explain my relationship with her? What's my relationship with her in the first place?!" Izuku entered in a panic attack.

"I'm Izu-kun's girlfriend! Toga Himiko!" Toga exclaimed with a grin on her face.

There was an awkward silence for a moment, then…

"EEEHHHH?!" The three boys screamed in unison.

Kirishima immediately punched Izuku in the chest.

"Why are you surprised?!" The red boy asked in exasperation.

"T-this is the first time I hear that too." The cat boy answered with a blush on his face while rubbing his chest where he was punched.

"Ugh, we haven't even started our high school lives yet you already have a cute girlfriend. I admire you, Izuku, but I'm also extremely jealous." Inasa commented with his arms crossed.

"L-like I said. I don't know what Toga is talking about." He tried to excuse himself.

"You're on a first-name basis and seem used to her being so close," Kirishima stated the facts.

Izuku looked at his side, just to find the little psychopath rubbing her cheek against his shoulder while letting out a dumb giggle. And the worst part was that he was totally okay with it due to experiencing worse things from her.

"Why would I be lying about this in the first place." Izuku came with the best response. If they were his friends they would know he wouldn't lie.

"Then we should kiss to prove you wrong!" Toga proposed taking the situation back to the beginning. He could bet she was doing it on purpose at this point.

"That doesn't make any sense!" The cat boy snapped at the stupidity of the situation. "Listen, she is just—" His words came to a stop as he froze in place because he… "I… don't anything about Toga…" He had always tried to convince her to give up and go to the police, but he never made the effort to know her better… He was denser than a rock.

…

…

The quartet was now in a fast food restaurant having lunch.

Izuku managed to calm things down somehow and they let Toga tag along.

The blond girl was eating a hamburger, of course, Izuku was the one that paid for her because she didn't have any money with her.

Eijiro and Inasa laughed at a joke that Toga just made.

"She acts surprisingly normal around others, huh?" The cat boy wondered to himself. "No, that's just an act… Only I know the real her…" The essence of blood never left his nose drills when she was around and today was no exception.

He watched her take another bite at her burger, splashing sauce on her cheeks.

Izuku took a napkin out of instinct. "Hey, learn how to eat properly in front of others, Toga." He said as he wiped her cheek like if she was some kind of toddler. The other two gave him a suspicious look. "Eh, like I said there's nothing happening here. This is just who I am and you two know it." Midoriya defended himself from their stares.

"You're acting weird," Kirishima commented while Yoarashi nodded.

Izuku just let out a tiresome sigh. He couldn't tell them it was because of the smell of blood coming from Himiko.

After lunch, they went to the arcade.

Surprisingly enough, Toga beat them on everything, it was a complete and one-sided massacre from the girl.

"Damn, she's so manly," Eijiro said with a tear coming from his eye.

"Eh~? No, I don't want to be manly. I'm cute, okay?!" Himiko retorted at his comment.

Finally, it was time to watch a movie.

The quartet was the last on the line.

Meanwhile, not too far away.

"Hah~ This day has been great!" A woman with sea-green hair spoke. "Don't you think so, Eraser?" The man at her side was no other than the pro hero Eraser Head. "Ah, sorry, should I call you Aisawa or is it Shota?"

"Shota is fine…" He answered uninterestedly. He called her Emi after all. "And… it hasn't been that bad…"

A big smiled appeared on Emi's face after hearing that. She clung to his arm. "I still can't believe that you asked me for a date. And the best part is that it wasn't a joke."

"Me neither…" He said. "Watching a movie is all that's left and then this is over." As he expected, Shota had been laughing during the day against his own will, so he was exhausted emotionally, and probably physically as well.

It wasn't like he wasn't exhausted all the time anyway.

The couple turned the corner to get to the cinema and Aisawa froze in place.

In front of him was the maker of all his misfortune… there he was… Izuku Midoriya.

"Something wrong, Shota?" Ms. Jokes asked for his sudden stop.

Eraser snapped out of it with her voice. He needed it to make an excuse. "Just tired. Your Quirk has made me laugh too much today, that's all."

"Pff-Hahahahaha!" Emi began to laugh uncontrollably.

"What's so funny?" Shota asked, not understanding her reaction.

"Haha… sorry, sorry, it's just… *Sigh*. Shota, I haven't used my Quirk a single time on you today." She confessed.

"Eh?" Aizawa's eyes grew wide in realization. For the first time in ages, no, since forever, his face exploded in a blush. If she hasn't used her Quirk, that meant… He genuinely enjoyed his time with her. He lowered his guard too much due to the prohibition of his Quirk, after all, he always was erasing her Quirk every time she was around

"Hahaha~ you're so red!" Emi made fun of him. "Anyway, how about we watch a comedy one?" She asked, a beautiful smile on her face… … Wait, beautiful?

Meanwhile in Izuku's head.

"The guy behind you almost kill you with his glare! What did you do?!" Neko yelled in panic.

"I don't even know him! How would I know?!" He was also in panic, that bloodlust scared him for a moment.

"So, what do you want to see?" Inasa asked the trio.

"Hmm… everything seems interesting. Agh, it's hard to decide." Eijiro scratched his head desperately due to his indecision.

"Uh! Uh! Uh! I want to watch that!" Toga pointed at a billboard.

"A horror movie?" Izuku wondered out loud. "She's definitely going to use it to cling onto me." That was his conclusion.

"Oh, that sounds great. I can show how manly I am!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"That's a challenge, Kirishima!" Yoarashi held his fist up with a grin on his face.

"Yeah, whoever gets scared loses."

Izuku let out a sigh. It was three against one, he had to give in.

Later, 20 minutes into the movie…

"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!" Inasa, Kirishima and Izuku were screaming to the top of their lungs. The first to hugging each other trying to find protection on one another. Izuku, on the other hand, was clinging to Toga for dear life. Himiko was enjoying the movie to her heart content while laughing with glee in her eyes.

The three boys left the cinema trembling, Izuku using Toga as a support to stay on his feet.

"You three are such babies!" Himiko exclaimed, making fun of them.

"No, no, no. You have to be crazy to enjoy something like that." Kirishima tried to defend his manliness.

"You have no Idea, Kirishima-kun." Izuku thought about the irony of his brother's sentence.

"I won't get scared next time!" The fiery personality of Inasa reached the top again. "Marathon of horror movies here I come!"

"You're going to have a heart attack by the end of it, dude…" Eijiro wasn't very fond of the idea.

The group walked away.

At the same time, Shota and Emi were leaving the cinema.

"Hahaha! That was great!" The green-haired woman couldn't stop laughing.

"It was alright…" The homeless-looking hero commented.

"We should do this again sometime!" Emi said jokingly knowing that probably wouldn't happen.

"Sure…" Aizawa's voice stopped her on her track abruptly.

"Eh?" She looked at him like he just grew a second head.

"I'm free next week." He said as he pulled up a taxi. He opened the door for her. "I'll give you a call." When he turned around to see her, she was frozen in place. A big question mark appeared over Shota's head.

Izuku and the others got to a point where they would take different paths to get to their homes.

"Today was awesome! Thanks for inviting me, Izuku!" Inasa said while bouncing in place out of excitement.

"Yeah, thanks, bro." Eijiro agreed. "By the way, since these two calls you by your name, can I do the same?"

Izuku smiled. "Do you even need to ask, Eijiro-kun?" They bumped fist. "I'm going to walk Toga home. It could be dangerous… for everybody else when she's around." He thought the last part.

"That's just an excuse to expend more time with your girlfriend." Eijiro teased.

"So lovie-dovie. It's kiss time. *Smooch* *Smooch*" Inasa followed along while making kissy faces in an angelical pose.

"You two aren't going to stop, are you?!" Izuku raised his voice, completely flustered.

"You're always so composed, so it's good to have something to mess with you." The redhead explained with a toothy grin. "Well, see you around, Himiko."

"We should hang out again!" Said the tall guy.

They both took their leave.

"See you later, Kiri-kun, Yoa-kun!" Toga waved her hand at them.

The couple stood there in silence.

"Why did you come today, Toga-chan?" Izuku broke the silence. A more serious semblance showing on his face.

"I wanted to drink your blood." She answered.

"That's what I expected." Izuku's serious face broke into a more relaxed one. "I have a condition though." The blond tilted her head cutely to the side, wondering what he would ask. "Tell me everything about you…" Her eyes widened in surprise. "I want to know you better." He grabbed her hand; he won't let her escape today.

A malicious grin sprouted on her face. "Very well. But I have a condition too. I'll be the one who decides where I'll drink the blood from."

"Fine by me." He answered. "She will probably take it from my neck or a place I can bleed a lot." He hadn't realized that all his predictions about her today were all wrong.

"Hehehe, then let's go to a more private place!" Toga pulled him from his arm.

…

…

A dark alley… what was he expecting when she said 'a private place'. But what unsettled him the most was the position they were in. He was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall- She… was sitting on his lap looking at the only thing she could see in that darkness, his two glowing emeralds. What was the concept of personal space again?

"Why here? You can't even see me." He couldn't help but feel weird about all of this.

"But I can see your eyes!" Toga exclaimed. "They're so pretty, I want them for myself."

"You're not talking literally, right?" The girl giggled at his question. Great, now he has to be on guard to protect his eyes from been ripped out.

In this position, being so close, she could kill him at any moment. But then again, she's in the same position, he could capture her easily. Yet, neither of them had those thoughts in mind. Their relationship, even though it was a really weird relationship, was based on honesty with one another, they wouldn't pull such low blow.

"So, you probably can not see them, but my ears are paying you their complete attention," Izuku said, choosing to ignore what she said about his eyes.

"What do you want to know, Izu-kun?" She asked, tilting her head with a grin on her face.

A tender smile appeared on the cat boy's face, though she couldn't see it. "You."

Her grin grew wider. She got closer, hooking her hands behind his neck. That was why Izu-kun was the best because, until this point, he's the only one who has tried to know her better. Not even her parents care to do it.

So, she spoke… she spoke about whatever she wanted, without worry to freak him out. She knew Izuku would accept her.

"I see…" It was all that Izuku said when she finished.

"What's that 'I see…'?! Tell me what you think!" Toga got a little frustrated, it was less dramatic than she though.

"No, no, it's better if you don't know what I'm thinking," Izuku responded trying not to laugh at her reaction. Toga pouted. "Hahaha, okay, okay. I'll tell you before you stab me or something. But before, you have to tell me something."

"What?"

"What's your Quirk?" She never mentioned so he's curious.

A toothy grin spouted on her face. "Then give me your blood first."

"*Sigh* Fine… This sounds a little weird, but… from where do you want to drink it?" It sounded really weird.

Her eyes had adapted to the darkness, so with a predatory smile, she put her mouth next to one of his ears and whispered.

*Poof* Izuku's face became crimson immediately. "Eh? N-no, no, no, no. I c-can't do that. That would be my f-f-first…"

"Too bad~ because I want that," Toga responded, enjoying his fluster.

"B-b-b-but, Why? It can be dangerous for you too, you know? Last time I almost—" He was trying to make her think again about what she said.

"I know." That stopped him on his track. "And I don't care."

"But I…"

"You're going back on your promise?" She asked with puppy eyes.

Well shit~. He was against a corner… figuratively and literally. "Okay…" He gave in.

"Ehehe! Bleee~" With a smile, she pulled out her tongue.

She wasn't mocking him. She was… … telling him to do the same.

"B-blee~…" As shyly as its owner, his tongue came out.

"Thanks for the food~" With that, Toga opened her mouth and prepared her teeth.

She wanted to drink blood from his tongue with meant she would take Izuku's first…

"My first kiss… It's so weird!" Never in his wildest dreams, he thought he would lose it like this.

By the end of it, Izuku was panting profusely trying to catch his breath. He covered his mouth trying to get a hold of himself, all of this made him a mess. He felt pain, discomfort… pleasure and… lust, and adding blood to the mix didn't make it better. From here on out, what was their relationship supposed to be? Thank goodness they stopped or else he could've become addicted to it.

This was bad. He realized that this was a battle. He was fighting to take her away from this life, and she was trying to drag him down with her in her descent into madness.

"Hey~ look at me, Izu-kun." She interrupted his train of thoughts.

However, there was something different in her voice… That voice was… …Looking up, his eyes went wide because there, sitting on his lap with a sickening smile, was…

"Me…" The cat boy couldn't help but be surprised seeing his doppelganger with the crazy expressions of Toga.

XOX

A new day, a new bullshit that haunts Izuku's mind.

He honestly didn't want to think about the possibilities of Toga using his appearance for whatever her twisted mind could come up with.

Of course, he tried to capture her after that, but she just took it as a game and flee. It was weird enough to chase himself to mess with his mind.

"Even if you're born with a Quirk. You'll be judged by it…"No, this wasn't the time to think about it. "What should I do today?" He just wanted to forget the mess of yesterday.

Like God's revelation. His cellphone began to ring.

"Unknown number." It couldn't be Toga or Uwabami, he already added them. "Hello?"

"Hello, can I talk with Izuku Midoriya?" The voice of a man came from the other line.

"Yes, he's speaking. In what can I help you?" This was unexpected. What would a stranger want with him?

"Ah, hello. My name is Rikiya Yotsubashi. I'm the President and CEO of the Detnerat Company. Have you heard of it?"

That surprised the kid. Why would someone like this person contact him personally? "Yes, it's a company that makes custom items for the daily life of people with changes on their body due to their Quirk." Izuku got some of their products after he got his Quirk, just minor things.

"Ah, I see you're well informed, Midoriya-san." He sounded happy. "Well, you see, we recently started producing support items for heroes. And well, after I witness some of your feats, I have become a fan. So, I decided to call U.A. and after a talk with Principal Nezu it was decided that we will take responsibility to make your hero costume." That surprised de kid. "Have you already turned in the description and details of how you want your costume?"

"No, sir. I haven't." It was hard to believe all of this. It sounded a little suspicious.

"Splendid! Then how about you pay us a visit so we can talk about it personally? There are other proposals I'd rather not do it over the phone." Yeah, it sounded suspicious.

"I don't mind, but can I make you some questions, Yotsubashi-san?"

"But of course, my boy. Ask away!"

"Em… how did you know I was assisting to U.A.?" Nobody should know apart from his mother and close friends.

"Hahaha, your concern is well-founded, but worry not, Midoriya-san. The truth is that some of your fans assisted in the entrance exam and saw you there. They posted on the web afterward. I can send you the links for you to confirm if you don't believe me."

Izuku held the bridge of his nose. "No, there's no need. I believe that." Honestly, being famous, even if it's just a little, can be a pain in the ass. "Okay, my other question would be… Can I contact U.A. to confirm everything you have told me?"

"Oh! By all means, please do so. It wouldn't be good if you got scammed in something like this, Midoriya-san." It sounded sincere.

"Okay, so I'll do that and if everything is in order, I'll contact you again to arrange the visit. It's that good?"

"Of course. I'll be waiting for your call, Izuku Midoriya-san." And with that, the call ended.

Checking with U.A. Nezu confirmed that everything he was told was true. And they even did a research on the company and didn't found anything out of the ordinary. In other words. All clear.

Izuku arrived the next day at the branch office in Musutafu. There he was guided and treated with the most respect he had ever seen. It was honestly a little too much for him.

He entered the CEO's office, being received by the man who called him the previous day. He was a tall, odd-looking, middle-aged man with a prominently long, pointed nose and obtruding chin, as well as small, dark eyes. He had short, orange-brownish hair, set noticeably far up his forehead, a widow's peak pointing downwards in the center, and he wore it swept back around his head. He didn't have any visible eyebrows, and also possessed two dark moles on the left of his forehead. The suit he was wearing completed his professional look.

"Ah, nice to finally meet you in person, Midoriya-san" Rikiya greeted him with a smile he must have practiced his entire life.

"No, thanks for having me here, Yotsubashi-san." Izuku bowed in respect.

"Please, take a seat. Do you want something to drink?"

"Water is fine, thanks." The cat boy did as he was told.

Pouring the requested liquid with some ice. The CEO put the glass over the little table in front of the kid. The man sat down ready to discuss business. "Now, for what you came for. This is going to be actually a great project because this is the first time my company is going to make a hero costume. We want it to be great and fulfill all of your expectations. That's why I requested you to be here today. So, tell me all the detail about it, anything that comes to your mind, even changes for the future if you have any. I'll give you the information about how it will be done and what materials would be good. We will also go around the company and show you the components of it, you can supervise it first hand if you so like it." Rikiya smiled again. "Now, I'm all ears."

Izuku sweatdropped. That was a long explanation but there also was something he didn't like. "I'm sorry to say this, Yotsubashi-san but I'm a little uncomfortable with someone eavesdropping." That surprised the man. Izuku turned his head towards a door that led to another smaller room. "The sense of smell of a cat it's not as great as a dog, but it's nothing to scoff at either. Also, my ears can catch sounds that humans can't."

The door opened, revealing a person that was clad in a thick, dark-colored parka. Their eyes glowed through the shadow of their hood. It was creepy for most people, but not for Izuku due to his eyes that did the same. Overall, it was a very suspicious person.

Geten was hiding just in case something went wrong and he had to defend Re-Destro. He wasn't expecting to be found out immediately. It didn't only surprise him and the Grand commander, but the rest of the leaders of the Meta liberation army that were listening through microphones hidden in the room.

This was looking bad for them. The serious look on Izuku Midoriya's face told them that he was waiting for a really good explanation.

Geten, also known as Iceman, took his hood off, revealing his face. Long, pale, messy hair and light-colored eyes that were framed by a set of long eyelashes

Izuku tilted his head in visible confusion. "A… girl?" He could swear to god that he thought it was a guy. But that didn't matter much, what was she here in the first place. "Is she your daughter, sir?" He asked the CEO.

"Eh… actually, it's a—"

"Yes." Geten intervened. Somehow the misunderstanding of his gender was the best route to get out of this. Re-Destro almost fucked them up. Geten put a sweet smile on her face.

"She's cute." Izuku thought while smiling back. He still wanted an answer though.

However, the cat boy wasn't paying attention to Rikiya who had a shocked face that had written 'The fuck?' on it. He wasn't alone in this. The other leaders of the Meta Liberation Army that were looking through the hidden cameras had the same face.

Geten wasn't the one who showed a lot of emotions, he was as cold as his Quirk, so this was a first for them. Also, the fact that he was pretending to be a girl fucked their minds pretty hard.

"I'm a big fan of you. But I didn't know what to do, so I hid. Dad didn't know anything" She looked at them with apologetic eyes. "I can't believe I'm fucking doing this." Geten had decided to play the shy fan card, hoping that it worked.

Rikiya shook his head, ending his trance. He had to play along. He had to use something to seal the deal. "Sorry for this, Midoriya-san. But after you saved her when some robbers in a grocery store, she doesn't stop talking about you."

"Dad!" Geten raised his voice in exasperation. That was really unnecessary. It sounded as if he had fallen for this kid. Luckily, that reaction was the one that a girl in a situation like this.

Meanwhile, the leader known as Curious was the first one to break. The woman began to laugh her ass off at the whole situation. This was so unexpected, yet so funny. It was a good thing that her mike was muted.

To Izuku, what the CEO said, clicked in his head. "Wait, I remember some like her back then. So, it was you. Were you okay back then?" Now he understood what he was called here. Rikiya probably wanted to show his thanks for saving his daughter

Geten nodded. He along with the other felt a relief that the cat boy fell for it. "Sorry about this. I'll leave." Now it was his opportunity to escape from this situation.

"If you want, you can stay though. You can give us a second opinion about my costume." Izuku intervened with a kind smile. Now knowing that there wasn't anything strange or bad he assumed his fan would like to stay.

The girl looked at them with a deadpanned face. If he left now then that would look suspicious. He also spotted Re-Destro trying to contain his laugh. The man knew what was happening through his head.

"You probably already know, but regardless, I'm Izuku Midoriya." The cat boy introduced himself with a smile.

"You can call me… Geten."

"Is that a Nickname?" Izuku wondered. He had never heard a name like that before.

After that, the meeting began. The hero aspirant told them his ideas for his costume.

"Hm. Midoriya-san." The CEO of the company interrupted. "I couldn't help but notice you have not mentioned a single support item for your costume. Is there any reason?" his company specialized in things like those after all.

"Ah, well. The support Items I want are going to be made by a friend of mine." Izuku explained with an apologetic look on his face. "It's not that I don't trust the quality of your products. It's just that this is something strictly personal for ourselves. So, I won't be requesting any of them here. Sorry."

"Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I can understand perfectly." Rikiya answered with his professional smile. Though on the inside he was cursing the heavens. The support Item he could've used for this project was going to have little surprises like microphones, tracker devices or anything he could have used for his advantage, yet that could have been a big risk, taking to an account how fast he spotted Geten. So, maybe it was for the better.

The phone in the office rang and soon after Yotsubashi had to leave for an important matter. I wouldn't take long though. So, in the meantime, the two teens stood there by themselves.

It was… "Such an awkward silence…" Izuku thought. He had to make conversation somehow. "So… Geten…-chan?" He didn't know if he had to add an honorific to that. The girl flinched at that. "What do you like to do in your free time?" Oh god, that sounded like he was flirting. Dealing with new people was hard… and awkward when you were alone. Especially with girls. "I hope she doesn't misunderstand me."

"Is he hitting on me?" He totally misunderstood. Either way, he had to answer or he'd be rude, but what? Training? That's all he does. He trains his Meta Ability (Quirk). Suddenly, a bright idea came to his head. "I like to read books."

"Oh, I like to do that too. I go to the library a lot to find something new." Izuku felt relief seeing that Geten didn't take it the wrong way. "What's your favorite book then?"

Perfect, that was the exact question that Geten wanted. "Wait here. Dad must have a copy. I'll show it to you." The girl stood up and returned shortly after, showing the cover to Izuku.

"Meta Liberation Army…" Midoriya read it out loud. "I've never seen that book before. What's it about?"

"It'd be better if you read it yourself." The pale-haired girl answered.

"Let's see, let's see." Izuku sat next to Geten without paying any mind. He was truly interested in the book.

"You're too close, idiot." The villain in disguise thought in annoyance.

"Eh~, this looks interesting," Izuku concluded. "I'll look for it in the library."

The girl handed him the book. "You can have it."

"Eh? No, no, no. It's from your father, isn't it? I can't take it." Izuku protested.

"He has too many copies of it. If one goes missing it won't make a big difference. It's my thanks for saving me."

It was hard to refuse it like this. "Okay… thanks, but please don't get in trouble for this." He pleaded with kitten eyes. "I'll read it and if we see each other on another occasion, we can talk about it." He hid the book.

"Oh, you two seem to get along really well." Rikiya interrupted from the door.

It was at that moment that Izuku noticed he was really close to the man's daughter. "Ah! I-i-it's not what you think! I wasn't trying anything!" He panicked with a blush on his face, he knew that father tended to be overprotective.

"Hahaha. Don't worry, Midoriya-san. So, where were we?" They continued with their previous conversation.

…

…

"Okay, I think that everything, right?" The CEO asked and the kid nodded. "Well then. The other thing that I wanted to ask you was. If you wanted to appear in one of our commercials."

"I don't mind, but you should have to talk with my manager about that. She's the snake heroine. Uwabami."

"I'll put myself in contact with her, then."

With that, it was time to leave. "We'll be in contact, Yotsubashi-san. See you around, Geten-chan." He left.

When they were sure the cat boy was gone Re-Destro sprouted a grin while looking at his subordinate. "A girl?" He asked.

"Females are less suspicious than males. That's how it works. He mistaking my gender was the perfect opportunity." He explained. "I was even able to give him the book. Though, aren't we going too far for just some brat?"

"The popularity of that brat keeps growing every day. At this point, he's like a mini All Might. Just imagine him in the future. If we have him on our side all of our plans will be a piece of cake. I'd call it a future investment." Rikiya explained the reason behind all of this. "What do you guys think?"

"We agree with you." The voice of the rest of the leaders echoed the room.

"Good… By the way, I didn't know you were such a good actor, Geten." Re-Destro was genuinely surprised.

"Yeah, maybe he should appear on the commercial with Izuku Midoriya." The leader known as Trumpet commented.

"Cut the crap." Geten retorted the idea immediately. "Why would I? Besides I'd have to act like a girl if he was around."

"I don't see the problem with that." Trumpet answered with an amused smile.

"Uh! I can take you to town and buy you a nice dress! Also, call me 'Onee-chan' from now on." This time was Curious who spoke with excitement.

"You can't be serious." Iceman was starting to get really annoying with all of this.

"I believe they are." The leader called Skeptic intervened. "Well, whatever. You could use that to seduced the kid and bring him to us if something goes wrong."

"Fuck off! Curious can do that!" Geten snapped. These idiots were getting too carried away. He practically carried this whole operation and this is how he gets paid. "Re-Destro, say something."

"Um, that's commonly known today as a 'Trap', right?" Maybe Rikiya too the role of a father too far and now it was a really awkward dad that tried to understand the phase his son was going through.

"… Fuck y'all. I'm going back to my training. If any of you talk about this again, I'm freezing you whole." Putting his hood back on. Geten left while flipping them off.

XOX

After several days. The first day of school came.

"Did you pack everything Izuku?" Inko asked her son in worry.

"I did." He answered with a smile. He stood in front of her with a smile, wearing his new uniform.

They shared a hug. "Izuku… You're mega cool right now." She was really proud.

"Hehe, that's only natural when you have a mega cool mom. See you later. Love you." He left.

…

…

Izuku now stood in front of the huge door of the class 1A.

"Please, don't let Bakugo or Todoroki be in this class." He prayed to God and opened the door.

The first thing he saw what Bakugo and the guy with glasses from the exam discussing about Katsuki putting his feet on the desk. Looking at the back of the class, his eyes met with Shoto Todoroki's, who frowned immediately.

"God has abandoned me." Izuku though in despair.

The rigid guy with glasses was the first to notice his arrival and so, he approached the cat boy.

"Hello, I'm Iida Tenya from Soumei—"

"Yeah, I overheard it. I'm Izuku Midoriya." Izuku responded

"Midoriya I must hand to you—" Tenya was going togive him a speech but was interrupted again.

"YO!" Screaming like an idiot and running like one. Kirishima came to greet his brother. "I can't believe we're in the same class, Izuku!"

They bumped fists and hooked their arms. "Me too, Eijiro."

Meanwhile, inside the head of a pink girl. "Wait! Kirishima knows him?! How? When?"

Someone poked Izuku from behind.

"It's good to see you again, Midoriya-kun. Ribbit." It was none other than Tsuyu.

"Ah! Asui-san. You're here too? How are Samidare and Satsuki doing?" Izuku smiled remembering the two little tadpoles.

"They want to play with you again. Also, call me Tsuyu." Her stoic face let out a tiny smile.

"I guess I'll have to pay them a visit then, Tsuyu-chan." He smiled back. The cat boy then noticed a tall figure approaching him. He smiled when he saw who it was. "Hey, Yaoyorozu. Glad I was put with you and not Tokage. She would probably be overly excited right now."

"Hehe, You can say that again. She honestly has too much energy." The tall girl smiled at him.

Everyone else in the classroom was surprised at how many people knew the cat boy already.

A midget with purple balls for hair was bleeding through his eyes out of envy. "He just came in, but he already knows two pretty girls! Damn you, Izuku Midoriya!"

"Ah! It's you, Cat boy!" A girl's voice came from the door behind Izuku. It was the girl he saved from the zero pointer. "You made it, just like Present Mic said! Yay, go you! By the way, that punch was out of this world!" Izuku chuckled at her excitement.

At the same time, Katsuki was murdering Izuku with his glare. He remembered the day when their middle school's principal congratulated them for passing the exam. He cornered Deku that day.

"What the fuck did you do, Deku?! You didn't only pass but you tied with me?! Who's dick did you have to suck to—!" He was going to grabbed Deku's collar to scare him, but his hand was slapped away immediately.

The cat boy stared at him with cold eyes. "I train a lot for this and I honestly don't care if I tie with you. But listen clear, Bakugo. If you thought that I was just a mere pebble on your path, then you better look again because I'm a whole mountain."

Back to the present. "That shit head really stood up to me…! I'll crush you like I always did."

"I wonder if today's the ceremony. Or is it the guidance counselor stuff today? Oh, and the teacher, what'll they be like? I'm so anxious, like wow!" The brown-haired girl was so anxious that she didn't notice the people behind Midoriya looking at her.

"If you're gonna be hunting for buddies, do it elsewhere…" A voice interrupted her. It came from behind. There all the people that was with Izuku saw a man in a yellow sleeping bag, he looked pretty much like a caterpillar. "This is the department of heroics…" He finished while slurping some juice.

While everybody was thinking who this guy was, Izuku moved and kneel next to him with a worried look. "Teacher, are you okay?! You look awful! Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?!" With due respect, the man looked like he could die then and there from sleep deprivation.

"Teacher?" The rest of the students echoed, unable to believe that this man was their teacher.

Aizawa was silent for a moment then looked at the cat boy. "What gave it away?" He asked. This was the first time someone thought he was a teacher from a first glance.

"Eh? Only authorized personnel is allowed to enter U.A. which includes the students and the staff. And… well, you don't look like a student." Izuku explained. "More importantly, are you okay?"

Ah, logic. Shota could get behind that… No, wait! He was supposed to hate this kid! Damn it. He could already hear Midnight's laughter at the back of his head.

The pro hero stood up. "I'm okay." And entered the classroom. He looked around. "It took you lot 30 seconds to quiet down." He glared at Izuku. Obviously, it was because of him that I took so much. "Anyway, I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleasure meeting you"

A big smile sprouted on Izuku's face when he heard the name. "The Eraser Hero, Eraser Head!" The man was an inspiration for him to train harder. He was one of the reasons he decided to take his hellish training.

The Pro hero took a P.E. uniform from his sleeping bag and showed it to his students. "Wear these. Immediately. And then shove off to the P.E. grounds."

After changing, Izuku came out. He was one of the firsts so he had to wait for the others. He also decided to wear the baby that protects his ears from loud sounds. If they were here then they would probably use their Quirks. Well, better safe than sorry.

Then his eyes met with others that belong to a blond guy and a thick, long tail with hair on the tip.

They stared at each other for a moment and then… they hooked their tails.

"Izuku Midoriya."

"Mashirao Ojiro" They introduced themselves with a smile.

"Ah! What was that?!" A voice called their attention. They both turned their heads to find… your typical floating P.E. uniform. "Why did you two do that? It was so funny!" The P.E. uniform talked, with a feminine voice.

"She must have an invisibility Quirk." Mashirao Thought.

"I don't know. It just popped in my head." Izuku explained while rubbing the back of his head.

"Same. I think it's just because we don't see other people with a tail very often." Ojiro followed.

"Oh, so you're like tail bros!" The invisible girl exclaimed, making them laugh. "I'm Toru Hagakure!" She extended both of her arms.

While Mashirao was hesitant to shake her hand due to not knowing if he'll do it correctly without seeing it. Izuku shook it right away. "Izuku Midoriya."

"Ah~ it's as if he could see my eyes." She was fascinated that the cat boy was looking directly at where her eyes should be.

Everybody else arrived and Aizawa told them why they were there.

"A QUIRK APPREHENSION TEST?!" Everybody shouted.

"Thank goodness I'm using baby 77." Izuku thought grateful for his ear protectors.

"What about the ceremony and the guidance counselor meeting?!" The brown-haired girl asked.

"If you want to be heroes, we don't have time for frilly niceties." Shota countered. "You all understand the school's reputation of freedom on campus. Well, that goes for us teachers, too."

He then explained in what consisted the test while disagreeing with the government's why to handle this stuff.

"Bakugo, you got the higher villain point on the exam. How far could you pitch a softball in middle school?"

"69" the ash-blond answered.

"Nice." A blond guy with a black lightning-shape streak said all of a sudden. Izuku recognized him from that time at the robbery.

Shota ignored it. "Try using your Quirk this time. As long as you don't exit the circle, anything goes. Don't hold back."

Katsuki did just that, throwing with a. "DIE!" creating a shock wave with his explosion.

Kirishima had to recognize that it was pretty manly.

Shota then showed them the result. 705.2 meters. "This is a rational metric that will form the basis of your hero foundation."

The students began to talk with each other in excitement. "This looks fun!" Someone commented.

"Fun, you said?" The atmosphere changed. "So you were planning to spend your three years here having good old time? What happened to becoming heroes?" A chill ran down the spine of the students. "All right then. In that case, new rule: The student who ranks last will be judged hopeless and instantly expelled."

"What?! That's too unreasonable!" Someone protested.

"Natural disasters, massive accidents, ego-mad villains. All of this is unreasonable and it's our job as heroes to stop it all. This is the formation that U.A. provides. This is Plus Ultra."

First trial: 50-meter dash.

Iida made it in 3.04 sec. Besting Asui who made it in 5.58 sec with her long jumps.

Kirishima made it in 5.46 sec. "I can't use One for All yet. I'll just wreck myself." He had to wait for the right moment.

Now it was Izuku's turn and he was placed with no other that Bakugo. They took their positions but Midoriya's stance. He was on his four, like a beast waiting to be released.

"Mu. That's frustrating." The pink girl murmured.

"What's wrong, Ashido?" Kirishima heard her.

"That Midoriya guy has a better butt than me." It was a low blow to her pride as a woman. "Also, why didn't you tell me you know him?" She wanted to thank him for that time with that giant.

"You never asked. But you want to know how he got such a great ass, right?" Ashido realized where all of this was going, but it was already too late. "Hey, Izuku! Ashido wants to know how did you get such a fantastic ass!" He screamed at the top of his long.

The pink girl covered her blushing face in embarrassment. She was going to murder this idiot.

Izuku looked at them for a moment, then smiled while giving his brother a thumbs up. "With my gluteus routine of exercise!" He had trained his entire body after all.

"There. I can ask for the routine if you want." Eijiro turned to see Ashido covering her face. "What's wrong?"

"Grrr… I'm gonna melt your clothes." That was so embarrassing. Even though these two didn't take it the wrong way, the rest of the classmates certainly did.

"I'll show you your fucking place, Deku." Katsuki thought while ignoring what just happened, but when the signal was given…

"2.57 seconds." The robot in charge of taking the time said.

Izuku had to used his claws to stop, leaving his mark on the ground. He has been practicing running in four since the exam. While it certainly makes him faster to the point that he could've ended in first place in the recommendation exam by miles. The consumption of stamina is also increased. He can't keep that speed for a lot of time, even though he's now a stamina monster.

Tenya wasn't surprised by this result. He witnessed first hand on the entrance exam.

Katsuki, on the other hand, was in shock. When did this shitty nerd become like this? He didn't care his time was 4.13 seconds. He was utterly defeated. Deku's words came to his mind again. "I'm a whole mountain."

Trial 2: Grip strength test.

There a guy with six arms got a mark of 540 kg impressing everyone.

Though the first place took it Momo by creating a grip machine and setting it to the maximum.

Izuku looked at his hand and sighed in preparation. This was going to hurt.

He gripped, piercing his own palm with his claws and drawing blood. 356 kg. He took third place.

When Aizawa saw his palm, he frowned. "A here that hurts himself is not very trustworthy. You know that, right?" Thanks to that comment, everyone noticed his bleeding hand.

"I still can keep going. Besides, this is more of an advantage against a villain." Izuku responded without skipping a beat.

"How?" Shota asked, not finding his reasoning.

Swinging his arm, Izuku splatters his blood across the wall. Unsettling everybody. "Imagine those are the villain's eyes. he will be blinded for a few seconds and that's all I need to take them down."

"Using your own blood as a weapon… This kid sees advantages where others can't." Eraser thought. He had to give credit to the kid. "I never said to show me. You're cleaning that." He moved on.

"Shit." Izuku didn't think this through.

"Give me your hand," Yaoyorozu told him as she created a gauze from her palm. The cat boy did as he was told. "As reckless as always, I see."

"In my defense, we're talking about expulsion here."

"You don't need to hurt yourself to pass." She pouted.

"Hehe, yeah..." Izuku looked a little depress. "It doesn't matter anyway…"

Momo noticed that. "Midoriya, you know that Aizawa-sensei can't be serious—"

"Quit chit-chating a come." Speaking of the devil, Shota interrupted them an hurry them up for the next trial.

"Stop flirting with each other!" The purple midget was burning with jealousy.

Trial 3: Standing long jump.

Nothing difficult, Izuku was able to clear the sandbox easily with his jump.

Trial 4: Sustained sideways jumps.

Midoriya flexibility proved to be a great advantage, giving him second place behind the little guy with purple balls on his head. His Quirk was proving to be one of the more versatile along with Yaoyorozu's.

Trial 5: The pitch

The brown-haired girl got an infinity earning the highest score.

It was now time for Eijiro Kirishima.

"Okay, this is it. It's now or never." He used One for All and hardening on his arm and threw.

66 meters…

"Eh, what happened to may Quirk?" Eijiro was super confused.

"Aizawa-sensei erased it with his own," Izuku said. "By the way, how does your hair float, Eraser Head-sensei?"

The students chatted with each other about the underground hero.

"So he already knew who I was…" Eraser head thought. But he chose to ignore it. Aizawa began to scold Eijiro about his Quirk.

"But why would he erase his Quirk?" The pink girl thought in confusion.

"Nobody is in a position to come to your aid." Aizawa finished. "I gave back your Quirk. Try the pitch a second time."

Kirishima was left there sulking. "What should I do then? I shouldn't use One for all then?"

Izuku smiled tenderly. "Of course it would be hard to use a Quirk, you haven't used that much." The green head left the crowd and walk to his brother.

There, he whispered something into the redhead's ear. "Oh!" Eijiro yelled in excitement as Izuku retreated.

"What did you do?" Shota questioned with a frown.

"You never said we couldn't help each other," Midoriya answered with a smug smile. It was a technicality of the rules, but it was true. "Also, I will always be there to aid anyone in need, even heroes." The smile disappeared. Izuku was now defying his teacher's words. "Because that's what heroes do, don't they?"

A sinister grin appeared on Eraser's face. This was a challenge.

Anyway, Kirishima threw the ball again. this time using only his finger to channel his Quirks. It created a shock wave. 705.3 meters of pure manliness.

"What the fuck?!" The pink girl screamed. "How did he get so powerful?!

"You're Ashido right?" Izuku inquired.

"Ah… em, yes." She could barely look at him in the face.

"Eijiro's hardening Quirk also enhanced his strength. We discovered this when we were training for the entrance exam. It's still too much power for his body to handle, though." The cat boy had already the perfect excuse if something like this ever happened.

"I… see…" She was surprised by how much they knew about each other.

After other people had their turn. It was now Midoriya's.

"Okay, what should I do?"

"Uh, I know. You can yell a magical word that will give you more power in your throw." Neko intervened

"Eh~ I didn't know something like that existed. Okay, what's the word?" Izuku asked his partner.

"Na-ah, You'll have to say it with me at the same time or it doesn't work."

Going along with it, Izuku took his position. Jumped and spun in the air to gain inertia in his throw. Then released the ball while yelling. "YEET!" His face morphed into one of utter despair as he realized that his companion backstabbed him.

"Pff-Hahahahaha!" almost all the students began to laugh. "He fricking yote that shit." Someone commented. "Dude, why didn't I think that?!"

Aizawa ignored their laughter and showed his score. 420.6 meters.

"Nooooo!" The blond guy with the lightning streak screamed in despair. "We were on the verge of greatness! We were this close! If that could show another number, I bet it'd be a 9. It would've been 420.69. the ultimate nice!"

The guy sure was dedicated to his memes.

They continued with the rest of the trials. Izuku managed to stay in the top three spots for them.

Now it was time for the results.

1 Momo Yaoyorozu 11 Ochako Uraraka

2 Izuku Midoriya 12 Koji Koda

3 Shoto Todoroki 13 Rikido Sato

4 Katsuki Bakugo 14 Tsuyu Asui

5 Tenya Iida 15 Yuga Aoyama

6 Fumikage Tokoyami 16 Hanta Sero

7 Mezo Shoji 17 Denki Kaminari

8 Eijiro Kirishima 18 Kyoka Jiro

9 Mashirao Ojiro 19 Toru Hagakure

10 Mina Ashido 20 Minoru Mineta

Todoroki frowned seeing that Midoriya surpassed him. It was clear that the cat boy had gotten stronger since the recommendation exam.

He wasn't the only one. "How the fuck is Deku higher than me?! Explain this, shitrag!" Bakugo launched at Izuku, but just before he could touch him, the ash-blond was caught by Aizawa. Izuku wasn't even faced with this. "The fuck…Is this cloth?"

"It's my capturing weapon, a steel wire alloy woven with carbon nanofibers," Shota explained while his Quirk was activated. "Don't make me use my Quirk so much. It gives me dry eye, damnit!" He released the volatile teen. And looked at his students. "Now, about the expulsion…" Everybody looked at the trembling midget that got last place. "It was—"

"Excuse me…" Izuku stepped forward, interrupting the teacher. "If you have to expel someone… You can expel me instead of Mineta." Nobody could believe what came out of his mouth.

That was when Yaoyorozu realized why he was depressed before. He was going to take the expulsion regardless of who ended last. Did he seriously didn't noticed that it was just a ruse? "Midoriya. Aizawa-sensei was just—"

Shota shut her up by holding his hand up. "And why would you do that?" The teacher asked with inquisitive eyes.

"Because… I know how does getting your dreams crushed feel." He had a painful smile. "I wouldn't wish it on anybody. And It's because I already know that, that waiting another year it's not that big of a deal."

"If I expel you, you won't be able to apply to U.A. ever again. You know that?" Aizawa pressed further. He knew the body language of a cat, and the one that Izuku was showing, clearly told him that the kid didn't want to do this.

"That's fine. I'll become a hero somewhere else." He won't be backing away any time soon.

"Wuaaaah!" The midget now known as Mineta ran towards Izuku with tears on his eyes. he grabbed Izuku's pants like a child would grab his father's. "You're a great man, Midoriya!"

"The manliest." Eijiro thought.

The cat boy just smiled at the little guy and patted his head.

Aizawa let out a tiresome sigh. "This is great and all. But you'll do better by letting people finish what they were going to say. Like I was saying the whole expulsion thing was a lie." Everyone's brain did short-circuit at that. "It was a logical ruse to pull out your best performance."

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" Everybody screamed

Izuku's legs falter, so he fell on his butt while letting out a sigh he didn't know he was holding. Mineta still held onto him, he won't forget this.

"How didn't you notice it, Midoriya," Momo commented though she was a little worried back there.

"You liar…" Izuku managed to say.

"Sorry, kid. But you didn't let me finish."

"I'm not talking about that. You lied about the expulsion being a lie. If somebody had shown no potential. You would've expelled that person regardless of their ranking." Izuku knew when somebody was talking seriously. And Aizawa was back then.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Shota averted his gaze while approaching the cat boy and pat his head unconsciously. "Besides, even if I was to expel everyone, you're the only one I'm not allowed to…" He murmured that last part, however, Izuku could hear him perfectly.

Izuku leaned on the teacher's hand. That was when Aizawa noticed what he had done, and took his hand away like if the cat boy's head was on fire. He looked around in worry that someone saw him.

"*Cough* That's all for today. The class is dismissed. Kirishima and Midoriya, go to the infirmary." Shota walked away hurriedly, embarrassed that he left his guard down. Thankfully, no one saw it.

Unknown to Eraser Head. In the window of the third floor, Present Mic and Midnight were laughing their asses off. They had seen everything. Shota was really weak to cats. All Might saw it too from a corner of the building, but he ran away before Aizawa saw him.

XOX

The first day of school was over.

"Man, today was intense. And it was just the first day." Kirishima commented.

"You can say that again." Izuku was more mentally tired rather than physical.

Then, someone grabbed them by the shoulder. "Are you two healed?" It was Iida.

"Ah, yes, Recovery Girl did a great job" Izuku answered.

Tenya then looked at Kirishima. "I think we haven't introduced each other."

While they were at it, Momo passed next to them. "See you tomorrow, everyone." She walked directly to her limo.

"Tomorrow, Yaoyorozu." The cat boy responded. The other two did the same.

"Midoriya." Asui passed him while nodding.

"Tsuyu." He did the same.

"Bye-bye! Midoriya!" Toru exclaimed while waving her arms profusely to be seen.

"Bye." He waved his hand back and at the same time, he bumped his tail against Ojiro's, that was passing behind him.

"Izuku… you're the popular kid…" Neko said in his head.

"What? Pff, don't be ridiculous… …Oh god, I'm the popular kid…"

While Izuku was dealing with a new situation in his life. Someone popped up behind Kirishima. "Are you going to introduce me?" It was a smiling Ashido.

"Ah, right. Guys, she's Mina Ashido. We went to the same middle school."

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Tenya Iida." Iida introduced himself while karate chopping the air.

"Izuku Midoriya… em, do you still want my gluteus routine?"

Mina blushed a little. "No, that was just… This idiot talking without thinking!." She climbed Kirishima's back and began to choke him.

"I… give up, ugh…" The redhead said, trying to take her down.

"you didn't even tell me about your Quirk been so powerful, nor told me that you knew Midoriya." She poked his forehead in exasperation.

"Know me?" Izuku didn't know what she meant by that.

"Yeah, I wanted to say thanks about that time when you saved me and my classmates." Mina clarified.

It was then that Midoriya recognized her. "Oh! You're that girl from that time with Gigantomachia."

"Giganto-what?"

"Em, forget about that. You and those girls are okay and that's all that matter." He smiled genuinely.

"Hey, Everyone! All of you headed towards the station? Wait for me!" The new person coming at them was…

"Infinity girl." Everyone except Izuku said.

"Eh? Isn't that a little bit rude… Then again plain when trying to give me her points…"

"Hehe, I'm Ochako Uraraka." She introduced herself. "And you are… Tenya Iida, Eijiro Kirishima, Mina Ashido and… Deku Midoriya."

"Deku?" The quartet echoed while looking at each other in confusion.

"That Bakugo guy called you Deku," Uraraka spoke.

"He did…" Kirishima confirmed while looking at Izuku for an explanation.

"Ah, He calls me that to demean me. I'm Izuku Midoriya."

"So is an insult…" Tenya muttered while Mina frowned.

"That isn't manly." Eijiro thought.

"For real?! Sorry!" Ochako apologized awkwardly. "But you know, I kinda like the name Deku for you. It gives me a 'You can do it' vibe." She had a pure smile on her face.

"If you think that way. Then you can call me Deku." Izuku smile back. "Then I call you 'Ocha-chan'… Just kidding."

There was an awkward silence after that…

"That sounds cute." Ochako declared with a determined look.

"Eh? N-no, no. I seriously was just kidding." Izuku blushed a little. It was already embarrassing enough. He didn't want to call her that for real.

"But it sounds cute!" Uraraka exclaimed again with her fist clenched.

"T-that isn't really an argument—"

"Cute!" She said again, ready to fight for the nickname.

"O-okay you win… O-Ocha-chan." God, it was so embarrassing to say that. The brown-haired girl smiled, pleased with her victory. "You guys can call me Deku if you want too."

"Midoriya is fine by me." Tenya adjusted his glasses.

"I'm fine too, bro." Kirishima gave him a thumbs up.

"Then, Midori!" Mina exclaimed with her hand raised and a grin on her face.

Izuku just nodded. He refrained from talking this time, and make another embarrassing nickname for Ashido as well. "We should get going then. To the station."

"To the station!" Mineta yelled next to Izuku. The little midget had appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?" Ashido questioned the purple dwarf.

"After today I have decided to follow Midoriya wherever he goes," Minoru said with a grin. "And if I follow him around, maybe I'd have a chance with the girls too." He thought about his master plan.

"Just don't follow me to the bathroom," Izuku said jokingly.

First day and he already had a big group of new friends. This wasn't so bad.

Then his cellphone rang. "Hello… …Ah… …yes…" With each word, he appeared with less and less energy. "Got it, leave it to me, sir" Hanging off, he let out a tiresome sigh.

"Something wrong, Deku-kun?" Uraraka asked with concern.

"You guys should go to the station without me. I forgot something back at U.A, or rather, I forgot someone."

"We can wait for you. You're our classmate. It would be a disgrace if we didn't do at least that." Iida said while chopping the air with enthusiasm.

"Nah, this is going to take… a lot of time. See you all tomorrow." The cat boy walked away in the direction of his academia.

Everyone looked at Mineta. "Aren't you going to follow him?" Mina asked with a deadpanned face.

"He said that he didn't want it… Anyway, girls…" This was his chance to brag about himself an get a chance with the females.

XOX

In U.A. at the support course workshop.

"Hey, you've been here for a lot of time. Go home now girl." Power Loader scolded one of his students

"Pff. I can still keep going." Hatsume answered without paying him much attention and continue with her work.

"No, you can't. We're going home." The door of the workshop opened, revealing a slightly pissed Izuku.

"Guhg…" Mei sweatdropped at that, flinching in the process.

The pro hero was surprised that someone could get that reaction from her so easily. Until now, she had barely listened to him.

"But I'm in the process of making a super cute baby." She protested.

"Mei… your father called me and told me you were here since three days ago. No excuses, we're going home." How did she manage to start working here before classes even started was beyond him.

"At least let me finish it! This is my last baby, I promise!" She panicked, surprising Power Loader once again.

"*Sigh* How long it's going to take?" Izuku asked in resignation.

"Two hours."

"Do you need help? Maybe I—" He was interrupted.

"Don't need it. I have this." She didn't let space to argue.

Se had even rejected Power Loader's help.

"Okay, I'll be back in two hours." Izuku left the room.

"What are you making that it's so important anyway?" The pro asked.

"His support gear," Mei answered with a little smile.

"So that's why she didn't want him to be here… Then that guy must be important for her…" Higari Maijima though… If it was for the sake of others then he didn't mind.

"Okay! Let's give it AAAAALLLLLL!" Mei exclaimed as she resumed her work with all the energy she had left.

"Wait! That's—"

*BOOM!*

Izuku heard an explosion coming from the workshop. "*Sigh* Let's make that three hours then." Izuku was now roaming the empty corridors of U.A. "What should I do in the meantime?" Then he crossed paths with Present Mic, who smiled widely when he saw the boy.

…

…

The door of the teacher's room was slammed open. Aizawa who was on his sleeping bag saw Izuku Midoriya with a determined face.

…

…

Izuku and Shota were now at the P.E. grounds along with a huge basket with a ton of softballs in it. The boy was also wearing his P.E. uniform as well.

"Why are you doing this again?" Eraser asked. He wanted to get back and sleep a little more. Honestly, he was just doing this because of his bet with Nezu.

"Because I felt I could have done better. But I don't know how. So, the only thing I can do I practice." Midoriya explained.

"Whatever. Here…" Shota handed him the meter counter. "I'll be back in the teacher's room." He walked away.

"Thanks, Sensei!" With that, he tried different throws.

…

…

45 minutes later. Izuku was back in the teacher's room.

"Um… I have another request." He said to Aizawa.

Though this time around, Midnight was on the room

After hearing him out, Shota rubbed his face in exasperation. Although there might be a way out. "I'll have to ask Principal Nezu about that." With enough luck, the little rodent would say no.

"I'm okay with that. Go for it." Said rodent was sitting next to them enjoying some tea. He scared the shit out of the two.

"Agh… great." Eraser thought. The little rat always did this to him. "By the way, Kayama, can you not?"

This whole time, Izuku was sitting on the pro heroine lap while she just pampered him a lot. "Ehhhh… It's okay, right? We're not interrupting anything. Besides, he needs a reward for working so hard." The cat boy, on the other hand, was too paralyzed to move. His red face said everything.

…

…

Now, Aizawa was at ground Beta with a chronometer in his hand.

He stopped it when the 15 minutes mark appeared. Shota took a megaphone and yelled. "Time's up!" With that, he went to find the annoying problem child.

Izuku was in the center of the city, sweating and panting profusely.

When the teacher found him, he should've been surprised. But he was just more annoyed at the prospect of doing extra work.

Why should he have been surprised? Because Izuku was on top of a huge pile of destroyed robots. There were 1, 2 and 3 pointers, There were even two zero pointers there.

"142 points," Shota said while showing him the counter with the points.

"Thanks, sensei." Izuku was grateful. He wanted to see how he would've done in the entrance exam regarding villain points.

"We're done here." Eraser Head turned around to leave.

"Um, actually, I was hoping to spar with you, sensei." Izuku stopped him right there.

Aizawa looked at him with an annoyed face. "Okay, who told you about it?"

"Hehe. Present Mic told me about the bet, sir."

"That idiot is going to pay after this."

"Sorry… I know I'm imposing too much. But this is an opportunity I can't let pass." The green head apologized sincerely.

"Whatever. Follow me then."

…

…

15 minutes of spar later. Izuku laid on the ground with his body hurting all over.

"Not bad. But it definitely needs to improve. At least he didn't make the same mistake twice." Aizawa commented in his head. He had analyzed the kid's movement. It was obvious he had some experience fighting other people before.

"One last time…" Izuku managed to say while barely getting on his feet.

"Not happening, kid. You're at your limit." The teacher declined.

"Can you remind me what 'Plus Ultra' means?"

Shota clicked his tongue. This problem child had a way with words. "Let's end this quickly." Just when those words came out of his mind. Izuku appeared behind him and threw a punch.

It almost caught him by surprise. Yet the teacher was able to catch it and answered with a kick. Forcing the kid to retreat.

Aizawa was already pretty tired, so he wasn't letting him escape. He threw his capturing weapon at the kid. Midoriya had said that he could use it, so he may as well take the opportunity.

He caught the cat boy's right arm. "Got— "

"Got you." Izuku stoled his words, surprising the pro hero. He then pulled the capturing weapon. He was a lot stronger than his teacher, so it was easy to pull the adult's body towards him.

It was hard. Izuku had lost countless times because of this capturing weapon. But he finally was able to use it against Aizawa. He flexed his arm ready to give the final blow.

Shota dodged it and threw an uppercut, hitting him on his stomach and lifting his body from the ground.

Izuku felt on the ground, inert.

"Shit. Went too far." Eraser cursed in his head. "Hey, Midoriya. Are you okay?"

"Hehehe… ouch… You took it seriously this time…" Izuku smile while holding his stomach.

"Tsk. You were going for that?" This kid was exasperating. "I'll take you to the infirmary."

"Nah, don't worry. I still got an hour to keep training." He turned around to face up. "You can go, now. I something comes to my mind and I need your help, I'll let you know."

"*Sigh* You do you, I guess." Taking his words, Aizawa decided to left. "In terms of fighting, he's already superior to most of the class…" He went about with his thoughts.

"Ah, right. I'm counting with you for tomorrow as well." Those words almost made the teacher tumble.

"Tomorrow?" Eraser Head had a worried look.

"Yeah, I'm going to do this every day after class from now on."

"What?" Did he hear wrong? Did he say every day?

"Well, the class schedule is not enough for me after all," Izuku said with a laugh.

"Why?" Now the kid had his attention.

"Well, I guess he should already know at least that part, right?" Izuku rationalized in his head. "Are you aware of All Might's condition?"

"So you know… his true form and time limit." Shota said a little surprised.

"I know more than that." Of course. Aizawa shouldn't know about One for All, just the time limit, probably the rest of the staff as well. "Have you ever wonder how strong was the villain to inflict such wound on him? What if someone that powerful appears in the future when All Might is gone?" His eyes became serious as he looked at the teacher in the face. "You're not that naïve to think he's going to be around forever, right?" Shota stood quiet. "I want to be ready for when that time comes. And the schedule's not enough. So I better use this opportunity while the pillar of society is still holding it. In summary: Plus Ultra's still not enough."

This kid was terrifying because that wasn't the thought process of a kid at all. "If you continue like that. You're going to break." Aizawa warned him.

"I trust everyone around me to stop me before that happens. Including you, sensei." He said with a silly smile.

"*Sigh* Don't give more work than necessary." With that Aizawa left. "If he's going to do this every day, then he's going to get ahead of everyone in the class… Well, that's not my problem. They're the ones who should be as proactive as this guy."

"Ah! I know!" Izuku shouted.

"Grr… I'm going to kill this kid…" He wasn't out yet for god's sake. "What?!"

"What if we make this into a club."

"What?" Aizawa wasn't following.

"We make this training after class in a club. It would be named: The Hero training club. And everyone even people from the department of general education can enter and have a taste of the hero course. And they could become heroes in the future too if they want to! It would be an extracurricular activity for everyone and those who lost their opportunity can have it here!" Izuku was thrilled with the idea.

"What did I just said about the extra work?" Aizawa not as much. He rubbed his hair hysterically. "Agh… fine. I'll talk to Nezu about it. But it's going to take some days. Got it?"

"YES!" The cat boy shouted in victory with his arms up. "Thank you soo much, Aizawa-sensei!"

Eraser Head finally left. But then realized something. "Oh God, this is only his first day." He now lamented the words he said at the quirk apprehension test.

XOX

A/N: Phew… I made it.

Let me know what do you think. This may be the last chapter of the year.

Well, thanks to y'all for this wonderful year. Seriously, I always have a blast reading your reviews.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year.

Read you later.
