Izuku's eyes shined in surprise when his teacher told him that Katsuki was sent home, suspended for a week, he couldn't help but feel relief, "A whole month without Kacchan's bullying? This is heaven!" He thought to himself. Katsuki's gang didn't bother Midoriya the whole school day, considering that Izuku got Katsuki suspended, they'd rather not get in trouble with their parents if they got suspended too.
Izuku felt a whole lot more confident too, a wave of motivation swept over him and he felt like he could do just about anything. As the school bell rang, signaling the school day is over, Izuku made his way home with a smile on his young face.
"Hey mom!" Izuku said as he stepped into his home, "Hey there sweetie, I got a call from school, you got into a fight with Katsuki?" Izuku sweated nervously, "Y-yeah, b-b-but I fought in self-defense, he tried to hurt me with his q-quirk!" "Calm down Izuku, I know, that's what the principal told me over the phone. I'm proud of you for defending yourself and not just taking it like a punching bag, never let anyone hurt you, okay my baby?"
Izuku smiled, "Of course, a hero fights to defend," Inko giggled, "Also, I got you a surprise! Close your eyes," Inko instructed, Izuku immediately followed with his mother's words, "Now… open them!" Izuku's eyes widened as he saw what his mother laid out for him, it was his hero costume! "Surprise! While I was cleaning your room I saw your notebook open, and I couldn't help but notice a cute little sketch of what you wanted your hero costume to look like, my baby is such an artist!"
"Ohmygodohmygod! Thank you!" Izuku could barely hold back his childlike excitement, he could not keep his eyes off the costume, "C-can I try it on?" Izuku asked, "Of course!" His mother replied.
Izuku put on the jumpsuit, the rabbit hood, and the mask. He felt the soft fabric of the hood smother his face and hair as his vision adjusted to the eyeholes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and a sense of warmth from the soft fuzzy feeling of a mother's love from the costume's craft. "I love it!' Izuku exclaimed happily, a grin forming on his face as he adjusted the mask and bunny ears slightly. Inko's heart fluttered as she saw her son dressed as what he wanted to be all his life; a hero. She swiftly wrapped her arms around Izuku in a motherly embrace, and kissed his cheek. "Oh my son… you're gonna be such an amazing hero!"
Izuku grinned and teared up with joy, the tears clouding his vision, "I'll do my best! I'll become what I want to be," he said, triumphantly, "No matter the cost!" Inko couldn't help but spin around as she lifted up her son with all her strength in a big hug. "Oh! I just remembered," Inko said, "The costume isn't the only surprise!" Izuku cocked a brow, what else could she have that'd be better than the costume? Inko took out a sheet of paper, "Surprise again! It's some forms for you to apply at U.A.! The top hero school!" Izuku jumped and shrieked happily, "I'll fill it out right now," he exclaimed, "Thank you so much mom!" Izuku hugged Inko again, "Be sure not to rush the writing baby," she said, "Don't want them to think you have messy writing." She said, smiling happily knowing her son was happy too.
Izuku rushed to his room and took off the costume, he took out a pencil and began writing down the information needed to apply to U.A. This was the start, of his journey to become the world's first #1 quirkless hero. "I can do it," he thought to himself as he wrote, "I'll become a hero, and defeat whatever villain the world has to offer! Quirk, or no quirk!" He smirked as he finished the last sentence of his writing. "I'm quirkless, but I'm not worthless."
