===Becoming a hero===

Izuku has been training with All Might. Inko and Tenori only knew he was training but don't know about OFA, just how all might doesn't know about Tenori. They go to UA and take the test. Nezu is suspicious of Tenori for suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Tenori guesses Izuku got a Quirk from someone. Maybe mention the sludge incident? They are accepted, no Mineta or Hagakure? Tenori treats All Might like the plague, All Might might find some similarities in Tenori and his teacher.

"Are you going out to train with this mysterious teacher, yet again?" – Tenori, who sat on a chair in the dark, asked Izuku.

"N-Nori-kun! What are you doing up so early?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I trained… and you? You've been training for the past few months and I'm getting worried. I'm glad you finally get some muscle mass on but you won't tell me, nor your mother who exactly that person is."

"Nori-kun! I am sorry but I really can't tell you who's training me. I promised to not tell until after the UA exam." – Izuku was trembling.

"Sigh… I understand. Be careful and if there's trouble, you can always call me. I'll beat the shit out of them!" – Tenori smirked.

Izuku doubted that even Tenori can 'beat the shit' out of All Might but didn't say anything. It was nice that Tenori no longer had nervous breakdowns or panic attack when exposed to All Might stuff but Izuku feared what would happen if it came out he's training with the man himself. He didn't know how Tenori would react to the man himself.

"So… I am going now…" – Izuku unlocked the door.

"Good luck! Also, tonight I'm making dinner!"

"O-OK! Bye!" – Izuku quickly got out and jogged down the street.

Tenori was not a bad chef, he was pretty good but he tended to experiment a tad bit too much with the food, so his dishes always turn out weird. Izuku had never seen a curry that sparkled under the light before.

"Young Midoriya! I'm glad to see you so early! Are you ready?"

"YES!" Izuku then looked a bit troubled "Um… All Might?"

"Yes?"

"I… have a friend, you see… He lives with me and mom and I really want to tell him about you training me but… I'm scared because I don't know how he'd react and waiting until after the exam…"

"Midoriya, listen to me… I don't doubt that you care about this friend but it is very important not to tell anyone about One for all or that I'm training you. There are not only villains out there but also the media and you can't do anything about the paparazzi! If it gets out that I'm interested in something… they'll come like vultures." – the grim look on All Might's face made Izuku nervous.

The boy doubted that all might was more worried about the villains rather than the paparazzi.

….

Tenori walked out of the house shortly after Inko headed for work. He was wearing his favorite dark blue hoodie (bought last Christmas), grey pants and sneakers. He had a purpose today. It was a special day, his father's birthday (may he rest in peace) and he was going to make a special dinner for Inko and Izuku. They had accepted him, despite all his imperfections, problems and the things he'd done in his world. He felt like he was a part of a family again.

Tenori did his usual routine during weekends – a patrol through the neighborhood, a jog through the nearby park and some stretches by the man-made lake in the middle of it. He loved the place and enjoyed every moment in it. It was so, so similar to the park in his world, to the very park his father had taken him to as a kid and the same park that had been levelled to the ground. All that had been left of all this beauty and serenity was an ugly mark from No Bright's rise to power.

He shook his head, chasing the memories away. He was no longer there! He was going to become a hero and help a lot of people! He was Izuku's friend and was going to support him!

Before he knew it, it was close to noon and he was getting hungry. Tenori put his hoodie back on and headed for a nearby convenience store. He got a few sandwiches, juice, a pudding and lined to wait for checkout. There were a few meat buns left, their smell teasing his nose.

'I have to get some now, great!'

It was his turn when he saw a familiar figure step in front of the other register. The tall, skeletal-looking, blonde husk of a man stood a few steps away from him.

"Four meat buns, please." – Toshinori said and pointed but accidentally bumped into Tenori's shoulder.

Tenori was frozen, staring at the man that was almost an exact carbon copy of the man that still haunted his memories.

"Oh, I am sorry for bumping into you, young man. Are you OK? You seem pale…"

Toshinori noticed the boy was staring at his face. For a moment he thought he was recognized but he quickly dismissed the idea. He then took notice of the boy's features. He was lithe, wore a hoodie, had shaggy hair and a mole… It strangely made him think of his late teacher.

He was about to place his hand on the boy's shoulder when the boy's hands clamped on his forearm. A vice-like grip that did not seem possible with the boy's thin figure… Suddenly, he was judo-thrown and a foot found its place on his stomach. A bit too close to his wound for comfort. The boy was panting and looked ready to have a panic attack. All Might was confused.

"Haa…" the boy took a shaky breath "Don't touch me! YOU DEMON!" – the boy shouted, malice dripping from his voice.

He then ran out of the store, leaving without even taking his groceries. A few minutes later, Toshinori got out of the store and headed back towards Dagobah. He was still confused about what had happened and it had hurt to be called a demon by someone so young. The boy looked somewhere around his student's age.

"So… this is the big day, huh?" – Tenori asked.

"Y-yeah… I guess." – Izuku swallowed nervously.

They were standing in front of the gates of UA, while other applicants were entering the building, the two boys stood in front of it, marveling at it/taking in everything of the moment.

Izuku was almost a nervous wreck, the feeling of All Might's hair at the back of his throat not helping at all.

Tenori on the other hand was trembling in excitement. He was going IN a school for HEROES! It was almost like an illusion but he was actually doing it! He was going down the path of a future hero, not some right-hand man or a mobster boss. He was going to be an actual hero!

"They slowly made their way towards the building when someone pushed Izuku rather rudely.

"Outa my way, extras!" – Bakugo angryly stomped forward then a hand on the shoulder with a tight grip stopped him.

"Wanna miss the exam, Ba-ku-go-chaaan~?" – Tenori looked murderous as he furiously pinched the hell out of Bakugo's shoulder.

"LET ME GO!" Bakugo wrenched himself free "What do you think you are –"

Nezu sat in his office, sipping tea and looking through some of the student applications one last time before the exam officially began. On his desk were left only the ones of students he found interesting. Besides the recommended students, two more were spread in front of him.

It had been WEEKS since he learned that All Might was training his successor. It was quite easy to find out their identity using the surveillance cameras around Mustafu and simple deduction. Midoriya Izuku seemed to be quite an interesting boy.

The other applicant was from the same school as Midoriya, in fact, they even lived together according to the records. What interested him about the boy was the almost complete lack of documents before the Midoriyas adopted him, only a single hospital visit a bit before the adoption. It was almost as if the boy had appeared out of nowhere! Also, his Quirk was quite powerful according to the data from the Registry. Recomposition sounded like something broken with how much potential it had – breaking anything on atomic level and re-assembling it in a completely new form.

Nezu smiled as he looked out of his window, seeing said boy sending murderous glare at a blonde with spiky hair.

Yes, this year is about to be VERY interesting.
