Hello all! I'd like to let anyone who doesn't already know and loves an other super hero world's inclusion into MHA to check out my other story, Infinity for All. It's basically Deku with the power stone, more info can be seen by reading it.

Anyways, I wanted to thank my growing fan base. It feels really cool that I kinda even have one! I know my writing style isn't exactly consistent, but I'm still working things out. Lemme know if I should go back to stating POV's or nay. Anything else as well, even things I haven't done. While the skeleton for it all is different, the actual writing underneath is pretty much the same and really what makes my style.

Deku went to school the next day, fear of his teacher growing to match his still strong excitement. I don't get it, he can't erase my abilities since it's not a quirk. Why am I so scared of him. The image of his homeroom teacher's slight change in emotion to a glare of annoyance sent shivers down his spine, but he quickly recomposed, giving a determined glare towards his fear. I'll just have to be the student he wants. It's a huge relief that he hasn't had any problems with me.

He entered class, everything much more easygoing than the previous day. The day went on as any other high school does until the end of day. It was time for hero basic training.

"I am here!" Everyone faced their teacher for the lesson, All Might, clad in his silver age suit. "Bursting through the door! Like a hero!"

While others spoke their own thoughts in awe and excitement that he was really about to teach them, Izuku narrowed his eyes for a second, then rolled them disapprovingly. Are they really that easy to please? He was simply too blinded in his own grudge to see their views which were statistically more reasonable. A hype about training later and they were walking out of the changing rooms to battle ground beta.

Izuku was out last when he just overheard All Might's hype that they were all heroes now.

After convincing his mother not to make him a suit because an official one would be safer, he got to wear something he'd spent a lot of free time drafting. A forest green outfit of high quality, high durability cloth. It had insane tensile strength as per request, and of course UA wouldn't disappoint. There were black lines along the sides, and 2 symmetrical deviations in his torso shaping trapezoids pointing in. He had elbow and knee padding of black material, more for aesthetics considering his durability. His scarlet boots were matched in colour with his utility belt and his hint towards his sensei, rubber gloves. Connected to his shoulders were off-white rectangles and out the back protruded a black cape.Same ol' Deku suit, but no overhead nor lower face masks. Replace gloves with Saitama's and add a black cape.

Wow, everyone looks so cool in their hero costumes! "Hey Deku!" His jaw was almost laying on the floor when he saw Uraraka's suit. "I guess I should've been more specific. skin tight isn't exactly my style." Midoriya was unwelcoming to Mineta's support to him saying she looked great.

"Geez Midoriya. I'm jutht thaying, thame ath you." The self protective statement didn't work very well, the not-even-tall Izuku towering over the dwarf angrily and defensively.

"All right! You bunch of newbies! Are you ready to get started?"

Izuku was really relieved, but also really shy after pairing with Uraraka who really took a liking to his protection over her. "It was nothing! Please can we not talk about this!"

She stopped, hiding her smile behind her hand while giggling lightly. "Okay, okay. I won't... But really, thanks."

The 2 smiled sincerely at each other. Am I looking for too long?! He broke off eye contact after an undefined period of time. Now they were silent for a while, enough for it to be awkward.

"So, you and Bakugo..."

"We went to the same school, every school we've been to actually. Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school... and now high school."

Neither looked away from a little distance down in front of them.

"Were you guys friends before? You seem like you have a lot of history together." He took a second to think of an answer which she decided meant—I'm being way too personal! I learned his name yesterday and just stole Bakugo's nickname for him. I should apologise. "You don't have to ans—"

"It's fine." He turned his head a little, eyes reaching all the way to the side to look at her. Only now did she realise she was looking at him first. His smile comforted her, and her own shone through. He straightened up, changing the mood to fit his next grim words more.

"We were best friends, but then he developed his quirk. We drifted after that since I never got one." While Uraraka looked at him, deep in her thoughts of what it was like, he was staring at his own fist, he really seemed to like doing that. Of course he only continued after raising his eyes. "It took 10 years after that for me to meet Saitama. That's when I chose I wasn't gonna wait for some quirk that wasn't there to become a powerful hero."

"So it's a fated battle of rivals then?"

He seemed to hit some form of new soberness to her words. His shyness soon returning, he flailed his arms around his face. "Not that I wanna drag you into this!"

"We're partners for this exercise. Remember?" Her kind, closed-eyed smile pierced his terrible layer of defence. He smirked accidentally, but went with it.


The time started, and both Izuku and Ochaco walked in. They remained silent but moved as fast as possible.

"DIE!" Kacchan exploded from the corner quite literally. His eye twitched when he did connect with the surprising appearance.

It probably would've become worse if he heard Kirishima complaining about how manly it was. All Might did defend him, accepting the move as viable and villain-like, which was kinda his intended goal.

"Deku! You! Me! Now!"

"Ochaco, go. Don't worry, he's here for me, not you."

She said nothing, but a soft hum escaped with her acute nod.

"Don't think just 'cause you can throw a damned ball farther than me that you're better than me!" He declared, pointing a thumb at himself somehow aggressively. "Ahhhh!" He let out this battle cry, launching forward with a right hook.

If his vision was fast enough, he would've seen Midoriya's smirk grow as he only reacted a split second before connection. He grabbed Bakugo's wrist and shoulder, slamming him into the metal wall.

"What the hell?! How did you know my exact move?!" He grumbled in angry confusion as worthless Deku had his back to him.

"You always start with a right hook. I studied every great hero. How they fought. That includes you, Kacchan!"

With another war cry, Bakugo launched out with a move he'd never practiced. This'll show him! I was born to fight! I was born to be number 1! This is my birthright! He launched a foot into Izuku's back, releasing a crackling sound reminiscent of how his explosions sounded when he was new to the explosions in his hands. His opponent was slammed into the parallel wall to the one he himself was thrown into seconds ago.

"Oof!" Izuku was picking himself off the floor already standing, which Bakugo had barely gotten around to doing yet. "Not bad. But if I'm being honest, it used to hurt more when we were 4." He was slouched and his head tilted to a point where his hair obscured the rest of his face. He rubbed his back and stood upright, his emerald eyes now visible, and burning with passion.

Damnit Deku! You don't even have a quirk, but you can't stand down.

The 2 raged on, denting metal walls. Deku jolted down a few halls to give himself more leverage whenever he could.

"Stay still damnit! Ahhhhh!"

The longer the 2 went on, the more powerful Bakugo got with his sweat getting more thorough. Midoriya knew this, and he was going to use it to his advantage. He suddenly stopped, letting Kacchan gain on him in no time. The shock slowed down his reaction time, giving Midoriya the advantage.


Iida was given time to contemplate on things since his partner wasnt around. He declared his decision aloud, not realising there was someone to hear him. "In order to become a hero, I must now pretend to be a villain! Mwahahahahahahaaa!"

"Ah, Deku? I made it to where Iida is. He's, uh... taking his role very seriously... Phase 2 is a go."

"Is that a heroine I hear? So you too have been separated from your partner. I guess that makes things fair. Although, I delight in having an unfair advantage on my adversaries. Hahahaaa!"


Now or never, I guess. He launched his fist into the blond's stomach — intestines actually, the jejunum to be exact. Bakugo tumbled back a few steps before falling to his knees and puking. That's not what I wanted! Interesting though. If Uraraka could somehow exercise that, maybe it'd help her nausea... or just make herself puke for no good reason. Mental note: find that out.

Bakugo, slummed over at the current time, eyes also not visible, wiped his mouth on his shoulder since there was a gauntlet in the way of using his hands. "If that stains, you'll have to pay." He looked up, his eyes narrowed into triangular shapes and his red irises shrunken with rage. "But they'll have to find your body first!"

Midoriya prepared for another right hook from his opponent, but was in utter shock when he saw Bakugo propelling himself with explosions, his yells barely audible over the explosions of the built up sweat. He was even too fast for himself, but decided to go for a head butt.

Things didn't exactly work out as planned... Deku's head was just like the rest of him — superhumanly durable, not to Saitama's level, but still like head butting a brick. Both of the teens lay on the floor, feeling their brains throbbing and too dizzy to stand.


"As you can see, I have removed all things you may use. All that remains is the bomb, and the 2 of us. You'll find that you are at unbeatable odds, heroine!"

"I don't know. 2 of us, and 1 of you? Seems like we're at the advantage here," says Izuku Midoriya, walking in confidently.

"Ah, another hero come to save the day. I think you'll find that my speed is enough to keep this away from you both!"

"But can you beat the power of teamwork and a plan?" Uraraka chimed in.

Without another word, Izuku dived himself towards Iida while Ochaco headed for the bomb. "Your simple aversion tactics are no match for me. In the name of villainy, I will not let you win!"

What he wasn't ready for was Bakugo flying into the room. "Deku!" He wasn't exactly worried about his partner being in the way, but rather getting to Deku. "Get out of my way!" Iida luckily stopped before colliding, but unfortunately stopping gave enough time for—

"Bomb captured! The hero team wins!" Boomed All Might's voice in everyone's ear pieces. Bakugo seemed to have no reaction, still going after Midoriya.

"So he took out his earpiece and that's why he didn't know he was out. And he just didn't notice the capture tape I put around his arm?" queried Midoriya.

"Well that last part's a bit up for debate," revised Yaoyorozu, to which Bakugo scoffed, arms folded and looking to the side.

"Well, can anyone tell me why Tenya Iida was the MVP of this match?" Yaoyorozu went on to elaborate the lack of teamwork from Bakugo, Uraraka's over reliance, and Midoriya's utter luck. She then concluded with Iida's planning despite being underhanded on a teammate, and his determination to his role.

The other teams went on to be relatively informative, and a lot of mumbling from Izuku when he got comfortable and hadn't realised he was doing so, thinking it was internal. He got many stares of confusion as well as curiosity. "Ehe... sorry guys, it's a bad habit."

"It's a hell of a lot more than I thought of," Kirishima said in sincerity.

"Yeah! Hopefully your smartness rubs off on me!" Ashido confirmed.

"It's intelligence, not smartness," Yaoyorozu corrected.

"See? That's not the kind I want." Most of the class laughed.

"Now, now, students, pay attention to the fight. Just because you've gone doesn't mean there's nothing to be learned." All Might wasn't sure how much he was babying them. It's best I don't overthink it.


Back in homeroom for the last part of the day, class 1-A discussed about 2 things. Each other's quirks, and each other's fights. Most of the class was in lively conversation, but everyone's attention soon came to the same topic.

"But wait, Midoriya doesn't even have a quirk," Tsuyu popped up.

"Yeah, what's with that? I mean, I'm not looking down on you or anything. I wanna know how you got that strong without a quirk." Kaminari was asking what everyone wanted to know.

With almost 40 eyes on him, Izuku understandably felt a little flustered. "It-it's my training, and my sensei."

"Come to think of it, I recall hearing you accidentally calling me sensei," reminded Iida.

"Oh yeah, that was you, huh Midoriya? So who's your sensei?" Ojiro asked.

"I don't know if he'd like me telling so many people about him."

"Oh come on. Pleeeaase Midoriya," begged Toru.

"If he wishes not to be known, it is not our place to know," declared Iida.

Izuku remembered having a conversation with Saitama at this point.

"Sense—ImeanSaitama, why don't you have fans?"

"I'm not a registered hero, so people cant really find a place to send fan mail. It'd be pretty cool if people gave me credit for my strength and not just say it's not there because I don't have a quirk, I guess." He chuckled. "Like that'd ever happen."

"You know what, he wouldn't mind. In fact, he might even like it. His name's Saitama, and he's quirkless too. I've been on his training regimen for about 11 months now, but he's been doing it for 4 years!"

"Wow, he must be crazy powerful!" Uraraka seemed mesmerised, and threw a mock punch in the air.

"And crazy manly!" Kirishima flexed, tightening the sleeve of his school shirt.

"Sounds like you got a man crush," teased Kaminari.

"If you're into dudth, that-th one leth perthon for competithon," schemed Mineta.

"You wouldn't be in the same league even if he was playing a different sport," Jiro retorted.

"Guys, I'm into girls," Kirishima delicately fought, arms up in defence.

"I think we're all getting side tracked from a question we were all probably dying to know," Tsuyu reminded everyone.

"So how strong is Saitama?" Tokoyami finally asked.

"He's faster than Ingenium, can take a hit harder than Tiger, and his punch is stronger than All Might's!"

"You expect us to believe that? No one's stronger than All Might! The guy's undefeated! Unbeatable!" argued Sato.

"Yeah, that's kinda pushing it Midoriya," Mezo agrees.

"You guys'll see one day. And I'm also gonna be stronger than him. I'll beat him before he leaves after this year."

"You're sounding a whole lot like Bakugo now."

Izuku glanced over to the one classmate not in the circle somewhat around him. There were the red eyes that pierced his spirit so many times. He didn't let it this time, and that seemed to come as a shock to Bakugo, who looked away angry as ever.

After everyone left for the end of the day, and somehow only Kacchan was around in the grand gates and Midoriya a distance behind him.

"Kacchan!" He exclaimed to catch his old friend's attention.

"The hell do you want, Deku?"

"I want to make you a promise. A promise for a real fight." This caught Kacchan off guard, third-or-so time today. "I never gave you the fight you deserved. I actually had a plan to fight, even if punching your gut was an accident." He was looking at his fist like usual for words so important. "We used to be friends, then you became a bully to me. Both of them you were above me, but now I have the strength for us to be equals." Now he looked up from his fist, shocker. "Katsuki Bakugo! I, Izuku Midoriya, declare you my rival."

Bakugo's face contorted into a maniacal grin. "I'll show you why I'm still better than you, Deku! The stronger you are, the stronger I am since I'll always be stronger than you."

"You'll need to train harder than you ever have in your life, because I'm not giving up easily."

"It's my birthright, All Might Jr." He was teasing the name he knew Izuku to have come up with when he was much younger.

Izuku's face narrowed deeply out of hidden rage. No one knew about what All Might did to him. Sure, a lot of other people did too, and they also only started supporting me when I proved them wrong, but he's supposed to be the symbol of peace! He's supposed to be the one saying everything will be okay, that I can go beyond, Plus Ultra! "I am nothing like All Might."

So yeah, that's chapter 5! I know it took a few extra days, but I found myself delaying it for a while, but I hope the wait was worth it! So now they all know about Saitama. They don't know how powerful he really is. Will they believe it when they see what happens at the USJ attack? Find out next time!

What's Deku's strategy to beat Bakugo only when his explosions are more powerful? Leave speculations in the form of a review.
