"This just in! The Pro-Hero group, The Wild Wild Pussy Cats, along with several other Heroes have saved dozens of lives from a villain attack at a ski lodge in-" Izuku tuned out the news report as he stared at the ceiling in an attempt to relax.

Upon Inko's insistence, Izuku had reluctenly took a week off from school. He got that his mother wanted to make sure he healed well, but it was not needed. The doctor had said it was fine for Izuku to attend school, and such, as long as he did not speak or use his quirk.

'It hasn't been more than a day,' Izuku thought, 'And I'm already bored.' After a few minutes, Izuku stood from the couch. He entered his room and booted up his computer. Izuku lazily browsed the internet in an attempt to entertain himself.

It did not take long for Izuku to stumble upon a fanmade wiki for a popular show about ninjas with abilities that worked like Quirks. After he had browsed the site for nearly an hour, a page on the show's fire powers was clicked on. The article went into detail on how the fire could be used and links to the different abilities the element had.

Izuku opened the top drawer in his desk and pulled out a notebook. It contained information, and various ideas on his Quirk; as well as how he could train and use it. Izuku neatly wrote notes from the wiki page and the individual abilities that he thought he could feasibly accomplish.

Izuku sighed as he leaned back in his chair, and stretched his arms. He had been writing and reading the wiki for an hour minimum. It held a lot of information that was deemed useful, even if some of it was... vague at best. Izuku had opened another drawer and pulled out a piece of paper. He needed to write research on another topic he had in mind but did not want to waste space in his notebook if it was deemed fruitless.

"I'm home!" Inko's voice called out. Izuku immediately jumped from his chair, and left the room; his computer had remained open on his recent searches on Foogle. They had read: Elemental Magic and Cancer Zodiac Sign.

Izuku studied the candle flame before him, he watched as it moved. Fire was difficult to control, but with the right technique; one could have the element assist them. Izuku had chugged a glass of water before he gathered the power of his Quirk. He blew on it before the flame had grown, and begun to grow wild.

Izuku had let his passion guide him and cupped the flame. The flame had shifted with his hands and eyes as if it recognized the teen as its 'dance' partner. Izuku had enclosed his hands on the flame until it reached its original size. That was when a cup encompassed the candle and snuffed out the fire.

Izuku grinned to himself as he pushed the candle away from himself. The two weeks had passed by rather quickly after he found a way to practice with his Quirk without harming himself. Though Izuku doubted that the candle trick was anything but a trick. A small flame not connected to anyone was easy to control; while Izuku really doubted he could control a fire that had been produced by a Quirk like Endeavor's.

"Well, I could test it," Izuku muttered, "I really doubt that would end well. If I consider how Endeavor acts, and how I assume his flames are produced by an angry passion." The quiet apartment filled with the mutterings of a young man, with a mind full of thoughts that had refused to be contained.

Izuku had grinned as he exited the gym, his backpack slung on his shoulders. He began to walk towards Dagobah Beach for further training, even though his mother really did not want him to. Izuku had wanted to listen to her, but just this once he took the chance. It had been obvious this was going to be different than two weeks ago.

Izuku smiled as he saw Mirio working out on the beach like he usually had. He descended the stairs slowly, as he already knew what was coming from the older teen. That had not deterred Izuku, whose mind was made up long ago. U.A. would not wait for those who had refused to take their chances.

Izuku had shrugged off his backpack, and set it near the stairs. He was was not shocked that the truck and tire remaind where they had always been. Even though they were slightly disfigured, it had made picking up training again – easier.

"Midoriya!" Mirio called. Izuku turned to the blonde as he had walked toward him. His lips had tuged up slightly at seeing Mirio's chipper face.

"Hi, Togata-san." A look of concern had flashed over Mirio's face before he spoke again.

"Are you okay to be here?" Mirio asked. Izuku had not looked at Miro as he thought about how to answer.

"If I don't push myself... I should be fine."

"As long as your carefull, I can't force you to leave." After a short conversation, Mirio had went back to his training and left Izuku to setup his target.

Izuku had flopped onto his bed with a grin on his face. Finally, he felt ready for the entrance exams next week. It was hard for the boy to believe at first how well the tonic worked. It took some modifications, of course, what did not. Izuku could once again feel the thrill of using his Quirk, Telekinetic Spark, at the power that once burnt him. Though he used less Kacchan, and more All Might after the man gave him some inspiring advice.

"One should not strive to destroy to get their way, young Midoriya. Instead, you have to strive to protect and push back," All Might had said, "A Hero cannot be the one to destroy, but to protect and remove the danger. The world needs safety and a person who is willing to smile in the face of crisis."

Izuku knew All Might had been right in that moment, but could not quite understand how he could do that with a Quirk that dealt with literal fire. Which was what had lead him to watch Endeavour once again, but that time more critically.

Needless to say, Izuku was ecstatic at his progress. He had made no progress with his Quirk for years. Then after he met All Might, it progressed like wildfire. Izuku could never thank the Hero, or Mirio, enough.

Surely, if Izuku had managed to achieve his goal of entering the Hero course in U.A.; that would be a start. After all, both Mirio and All Might helped him to do just that. A fluttering feeling filled Izuku's heart, and had refused to falter.
