NOW SAY IT LOUD AND SAY IT PROUD EVERYONE!
PLUUUUUUUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAA!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Izuku's tears flew off her cheeks as she ran across the clean sandy beach she spent close to a year tidying up. She was running with all her power, her legs glowing green as she leaped off the sand towards her hero 20 feet away, who turned his head to look at her, and spit out blood as he caught her and went down hard into the sand.
"WHO THE HECK IS THAT?!" He cried out, as the two of them heard a couple near by look around curiously. He scrambled to stand up with Izuku and whispered to her. "yell something like wrong person!"
"UH I, SORRY WRONG PERSON!" she shouted and the couple lost interest. She looked up at her hero, who started to laugh at her distraught expression. Izuku smiled, and let out her own small laugh as her hero cleaned the sand off himself.
"Izuku, congrats on passing!" He held his hand up over her for a high five, and she grinned brightly as she smacked her hand against his. "I wanted you to know, I had nothing to do with your passing. You passed with your own power all by yourself!"
"Th-thank you!" She said, grinning brightly as she pumped her fists in the air. "I was so surprised to hear about you being a teacher though! Your office is in tokyo isn't it?"
"Don't worry about that," All Might put a large hand on her head and ruffled her wind swept curls. He let out a laugh, and grinned. "I told the Academy about my predicament, but I haven't told anyone else. I asked them to notify me on the off chance they found some one to take over my role."
'That's right... he mentioned he was looking for some one... Yuuei is such a hotbed of heroes with amazing quirks...' Izuku looked at her hands, and clenched her right fist. "One for All... It bruised my legs, and my hand broke... I can't handle it's power at all," She bit her lip, and All Might let out a gruff laugh.
"I think for a first time use, you did way better than I did! I broke all my limbs, you just broke your fist!" He put a finger on her balled up hand, and she looked up at him with a confused look. "The training we did with your natural born strength quirk, it really helped prepare you. One for All and your quirk are extremely similar, but mine just gives yours even more power! I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to lift a building!"
"A building?!" She stepped back, shaking her head as she thought about that image in her head. All Might let out a booming laugh at the thought as well. Even though she was all muscle now, she was still very tiny by normal standards.
"HAHAHA!" His booming laugh made her smile, and he grinned at her. "But right now, I don't think you could handle very much of it... I'd say 10% control at most." He bent down to pick up a few cans from the sand. "But with my help, I think we can work on that, and soon you'll be able to handle all 100%!" He looked at her again, and smiled. "The more you build up the vessel, the more you can control it! We still have a bit more before school starts, so I think you should continue with your training for the time being!" He transformed into his bulky self and crushed the cans in his hand. "Soon you'll be able to crush rocks like they're nothing with out thinking!"
"WAIT, ISN'T THAT... IT IS! ALL MIGHT?!" The couple called out from the docks, and both All Might and Izuku jumped in surprise.
"TIME TO RUN!" All Might laughed and took off at a run. Izuku looked around in a panic, before chasing after him with the use of her quirk.
"So, you think my progress is going well?" She asked, as she ran beside her hero down the beach. "You think I will be able to control it soon?"
"I think you're doing wonderful. You need to have more faith in yourself!" All Might looked down at her with a grin on his face as they ran up the stairs to the streets. "You're a bright young girl, and you've worked harder than any hero I know to get to this point so quickly. Other's fates were just a lucky roll of the dice, You earned this all by yourself."
All Might came to a stop, and looked down at his young protege. "50% physical control, Young lady."
"And the other 50% mental!" She said with a large grin on her face as she pumped her fists in the air.
All Might looked down at her, full of pride as he turned back to his skeletal form. He dug his hand into a pocket on his pants, and held out a cutely decorated envelope.
"A gift, for passing." He said with a grin. "It's not much, but I thought you could use it."
"Wh-what?" She looked up at her hero in shock. Izuku had never expected to get a material gift from her hero, the fact that he was teaching her was a gift all its own, never mind the quirk of power he bestowed upon her. She took the gift from him with her small hands, and opened it up. "OOOH!" Her face lit up in excitement as she pulled out a hair accessory. It was a hair tie that had a cute red bow on it, but it also had a golden decoration that looked like All Might's signature hair do! "WHOA! THIS IS LIMITED EDITION! I TRIED TO GET ONE BUT I COULDN'T AFFORD ALL THE MAKE-UP YOU NEED TO BUY FOR IT!" Her eyes shone brightly as she looked up at her hero who blushed.
"You wear make-up...? Do I have a make-up line...?" He asked before shaking his head. "Never mind that, I figured you could use it to tie your hair back when ever you need too! Considering you are such a big fan I thought you might like it and I have many things like this just laying around the office."
"AAAAAAAH! I LOVE IT!" Izuku cried out happily as she hurriedly pulled her hair back and tied it with the hair tie. "I'll treasure it for ever! Thank you!" She beamed up at her hero, and threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
"You're welcome," He smiled down at her and patted her head. She was so happy, it made his heart warm. He let out a laugh as she spun around in excitement. "Now hurry home, you still have a few months left till your first semester at Yuuei!"
"YES SIR!" She saluted to All Might with her hand, and took off at a run.
"Kids these days, too much energy." All Might huffed out.
-SPRING TIME-
"D-Do you have your hanky?!" Inko cried out to her daughter as she rushed from the kitchen with her childs bento.
"Yes mom, and I have tissues, and my books, I've got everything!" Izuku was pulling on her bright red high top shoes at the front door, while her mother stuffed the bento in her brand new yellow back pack. "I've gotta hurry, I don't want to be late!"
"Izuku!" Her mother called out one more time, as she watched her daughter open the door. The girl turned around to look at her mother with an exasperated expression. She wore her brand new Yuuei uniform, the grey blazer a bit loose on her tiny form, and the skirt a bit too short, she thought to herself, but she wore shorts under neath. Her socks were knee high, and she pushed the door open further, not wanting to miss the train. "You... You look so beautiful and amazing. I wish your father could see you! I'm so proud of you!"
"... Thanks mom." Izuku smiled at her mother warmly, before she took off out the door at a run, adjusting her red tie around her neck as she did. She felt tears of happiness in her eyes, and with out thinking, used her quirk and her legs glowed a soft green, as she leaped into the air over the street, and laughed loudly as she ran for the train.
"1-A... 1-A... Why is this place so big?!" She was running down a long hallway, gripping the straps of her bag before she slid to a stop in front of an enormous door with her class number on it. "Geez, I guess they would need one this big considering it's Yuuei..." She said in a small voice as she looked up at it, and bit her lip. She quickly brought her hands up to her hair to make sure it wasn't as out of hand as usual, and fretted. "I need to get a hair straightener..." She grumbled as she pulled at her curls. "Well... I'll be alongside the chosen few who passed... I just hope that glasses guy and Kacchan end up in 1-B..." She gulped as she slowly started to slide the large door open.
"Don't put your legs on the desk! Don't you have any respect for our classmates or our Senpai's?!" The boy from the entrance exam was yelling with his arms moving around wildly.
"NO, I DON'T! JEEZ, WHAT FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE YOU FROM ANYWAYS, YOU TWO-BIT EXTRA?!" Katsuki was leaned back in his chair, glaring daggers at the other boy.
"Just my luck!" Izuku thought to herself as she mentally debated turning around and going to the next classroom.
"Ah, I'm from a private scho- I mean. I'm from Soumei Junior High School! The name is Iida Tenya!" The boy straightened his glasses and offered a hand to shake to Katsuki and Izuku gulped as she thought about how that was a bad idea.
"SOUMEI?! WELL AREN'T YOU AN ELITE. SEEMS I'VE GOT A REASON TO FUCKING END YOU AFTER ALL!" Katsuki yelled at him with gusto, and ground his teeth.
"Wh-what Nerve! YOU, want to be a HERO?" Iida looked taken aback, before his eyes looked over to the open door Izuku stood in, and she gulped as she felt caught. "Oh! It's you! Hello I'm Iida Tenya from soumei-"
"I-I over heard everything, I um..." Izuku blushed a bright red as she held her hands up as if to stop him from getting too close, "I'm Midoriya, It's nice to meet you Iida!"
"Midoriya? I must hand it to you, you divined the actual nature of the practical exam, didn't you?! I-I was so blind to it... I completely misread you! I hate to admit, but you were the better hero!" Iida was moving his arms all over the place, and Izuku just smiled at him shyly, before glancing over at Katsuki who was glaring daggers at her. She gulped as she looked away quickly, gripping the straps of her bag again, as more eyes continued to look her way. She felt like an animal at the zoo, and tried to shy away towards an empty seat.
"AH! IT'S YOU! THE LOST KITTEN!" A voice startled her from behind and Izuku jumped a bit, before turning around to look at the girl from the exam. "I'm so glad I found you! You made it just like Present Mic said! Yay, go you! That punch was out of this world, you were so cool!"
"N-No...It's not like that, I uh... It was thanks to you sp-speaking on my behalf..." Izuku blushed a bright red as the girl praised her, and she quickly looked down at the ground. Uraraka stopped punching the air for a moment as she looked down at the shy girl in front of her, and reached her hands out to put them on the shoulders of the slightly smaller girl in front of her. Izuku looked up in surprise, her cheeks burning with the heat of embarrassment now as she was looking into the shining eyes of the girl in front of her.
"Marry me." The girl said in a serious tone, and Izuku's whole face now turned red and she felt dizzy as Iida's arms went crazy around her head.
"Hey now! It's only the first day of school, don't go proposing to others!" Iida said loudly as Uraraka continued to hold Izuku by the shoulders, her eyes shining with the need to protect. Izuku how ever was trying to look anywhere else but at the two who were so animated about her, and looked around at the rest of the class who were laughing at the scene before them. Her eyes then made eye contact with Katsuki's once again, and he held her gaze, a dark look on his face.
"He must be mad that I made it too..." She thought to herself, as she remembered their last days at junior high...
"WHAT TRICK DID YOU USE TO PASS THAT EXAM?!" Katsuki slammed Izuku's back against the outside wall of the school building out back. "WELL, YOU DAMN NERD?!"
"O-Ow..." Izuku groaned with pain as he held the front of her uniform, and she gripped his wrist with her hands. She looked at the metal bracelet she wore on her wrist, tarnished with age and bit her lip. "K-Kacchan... I just..." She was cut off as his grip tightened on the front of her uniform and she looked up at her long time friend.
"I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST TO ENTER YUUEI FROM HERE! JUST ME! YOU RIPPED AWAY MY COOL BACK STORY! I TOLD YOU TO GO SOME WHERE ELSE!" His voice pierced her ear drums as he kept her against the wall, and she gripped his arm tightly. "SAY SOMETHING! HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THAT EXAM WITH OUT A QUIRK?!"
"S-some one finally acknowledged me..." Izuku ground her teeth together, and she glared up at Katsuki. "They told me I could become a hero! I won the right to go there, Kacchan! You can't stop me! I'M GOING TO YUUEI!" Izuku's hands started to glow a soft green as she pried his hand away from her uniform, and pushed him back. She looked up at him with defiant green eyes. "This has always been my dream, and I won't give it up just so you can look cool! I won't let you put me down anymore! I won't let you call me a Deku or worthless or quirkless ever again! I finally discovered my quirk, and if you hadn't put me down all these years maybe I would have found it sooner! 50% PERCENT MENTAL!" She shouted at him, before she stormed away in a huff, leaving a confused and furious Katsuki behind.
"Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at him... But he shouldn't have yelled at me either." Izuku thought to herself, before her thoughts were interrupted by a gravely voice from the ground behind Uraraka.
"If you're going to get married, could you do it elsewhere." Izuku and Uraraka both looked at the ground in the hallway, and saw what looked like a yellow caterpillar on the ground. "This is the department of Heroics, not marriage. That's about 5 blocks east of here."
"Wh-who the hell is this guy...?" Izuku thought to herself, and could feel the rest of the class thinking the same thing.
"Well, It took you lot 8 seconds to calm down. Life is short and you're all lacking common sense," The caterpillar stood up and turned out it was just a man inside of a sleeping bag. Izuku thought about how he looked like a hobo, as she stepped back with the others to let him in the room. "I'm you're homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shouta, pleasure meeting all of you."
"SENSEI?!" Izuku felt bad about her opinion of him, and thought twice about judging others by looks. She watched as their teacher reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a shirt. He held it out to her who was closest.
"Now go put these on, then shove off to the P.E. Grounds." Izuku took the gym uniform from the teacher, and looked up at him with shock in her expression.
"These uniforms are pretty cool!" A girl whose skin was pink said happily as the girls changed in the locker room. "I love the fabric!"
"I'm sure this would compliment my eyes if I could see them!" Izuku turned her head to look at a floating uniform and she laughed a bit, as she pulled the shorts on that she had. She found that like the others, they were pretty form fitting.
"I love this fabric, I'm going to have to figure out what it's made from." A tall girl with a long pony tail said as she did up her jacket.
"I love your tank top!" Uraraka said happily, surprising Izuku immensely as she fumbled with the jacket in her hands. It was one of her favorite shirts, as the print was a mimic of All Might's costume. "AAAH! The hair tie matches!" She pointed out, noticing that Izuku was wearing the All Might hair tie too.
"Whoa, isn't that limited edition?" A girl who resembled a frog said thoughtfully as she sat on a bench.
"A-ah... Yeah it is." Izuku said with a bright smile. She pulled her jacket on and zipped it up, finding the fit snug.
"Yeah, you had to buy a tonne of make-up to get that thing!" A girl with a short bob cut and earphone jacks dangling from her ears said with a thought. "But, You're not wearing any..."
"Ooh, that's because I don't know how to put it on." Izuku laughed nervously, and the pink girl slid across the floor in front of her, her eyes wide.
"My god, that's not good! I learned from my friends in Junior high how to do make-up!" She said proudly. "Were your friends not into make-up?"
"Ah, I didn't have any girl friends growing up." Izuku said with a warm smile, and all the girls went quiet and stared at her silently. "Ah, uhm... I had one friend though! We've been friends since we were 3! But all he does is yell at me and stuff, haha. I couldn't imagine asking him to help with make-up!"
Izuku was laughing warmly while the other girls all looked on with sympathy.
"Again, Marry Me." Uraraka said once more, and the others laughed loudly at the serious look on the brunettes face as she hugged Izuku tightly who blushed a bright red.
The girls made their way out to the field, where the group of boys were standing with their sensei.
"A quirk apprehension test?" A blonde boy asked out loud, and the class seemed confused.
"What about opening ceremonies and counsellor meetings?!" Uraraka asked loudly above the rest.
"Waste of time really. If you want to be heroes you can't bother with the small stuff." Aizawa said with a hmph as he looked at the whole class. "You know our school's reputation for freedom on campus, well that freedom goes for me too. Softball pitch, 50m dash, upper body exercise. These are all activities you did in middle school, but you weren't allowed to use your quirks. Our country still doesn't have a clue to standardize these kinds of things for the world we live in. Bakugo," Aizawa held up a soft ball, and tossed it to the angry teenager. "Try using your quirk to pitch this as far as possible, just don't leave the circle, and don't hold back."
"Oh geez..." Izuku bit her lip as she watched an evil grin cross Katsuki's face as he wound up to throw, and at the last second used his quirk to send the ball off.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Katsuki screamed, an explosion kicking up dust as the ball flew high into the air, and the class all had a surprised look on their faces, except for Izuku.
"Before anything else, one must know what they are capable of. This is what we will be basing your training on." Aiawa held up a reader, showing 705.2m on it.
"That looks so fun!" A guy with red hair cried out happily.
"We can really use our quirks now?! That's Yuuei for you!" The pink girl from earlier said happily.
"Fun...?" Aizawa looked at his class and snorted. "So you were planning on just having a grand old time here for the next three years? You think you can pal around while aiming to be heroes? Alright. Fine." He looked up, glaring at them all. "New rule, the student who ranks last will be judged hopeless, and be expelled."
The class was quiet at that statement and Aizawa straightened up and pushed his hair back.
"Our freedom as teachers means we can dispense of students as we please! Welcome to the Heroics department!"
"W-wait... Isn't expelling the last student just too unfair!" Uraraka protested as their sensei sighed out.
"Accidents... Natural disasters, ego-mad villains! All Kinds of things can happen when you have your back turned for a second, Japan is full of unfair things, and to restore reason it's our jobs as Heroes to be at the top of our game. You're not here to make friends, you're here to be Heroes! This... is Plus Ultra. Now lets get to it."
Izuku stood with the others as she watched her classmates challenge their times in the 50m dash. When it came to her turn she got into position, and looked over at her racing partner.
"HUH." katsuki was next to her and turned his nose up at her. "What are you looking at, dipshit Deku?! I'm going to blow you away!" He shouted at her and she stiffened up.
The gun cracked and Katsuki took off with a louder bang from his palms. Izuku bit her lip as she focused her quirk to her legs, and a soft green light appeared again as she took off. She dashed faster then ever before, and when she crossed the line the robot beeped.
"6.03." Izuku looked over at the robot and grinned happily at her score, before she felt an ache in her legs. She walked away to stand with the others, and rubbed her calf muscles with her hands. "I can do this... Still way better than 7.49...I just need to focus harder... Imagine the egg..." She told herself as she looked down at her legs. She looked up as the others in the class got better and better scores, and she clenched her fist tightly. "I can do this... I won't break anything... The others are going to be better because they had more time to get used to their quirks..." She thought back to the painful feeling of overusing her quirk, and started to get nervous.
"Midoriya, you're muttering..." Iida was standing over her with a frown on his face as the others watched her mutter darkly to herself. Izuku blushed a bright red in embarrassment and stood up straight.
"I-I'm sorry!" She said, and turned her head to look away, from the class as most of them stared at her with a strange smile on their faces.
"GRIP STRENGTH TEST!" Aizawa shouted at the class as they finished up the 50m dash, and tossed everyone a device to test their grips. Uraraka looked at it with a nervous smile, before looking at Izuku.
"Haha, I've never been very good at this kind of thing!" She said with a laugh as she tested it out and the device beeped out her score of 29kgw. "Wahaha! Still better than middle school!"
"Here goes..." Izuku said with a thought as she looked at the device and wrapped her hand around it. She started to sweat nervously as her hand glowed a soft green again, and she closed her eyes, clenching the device.
"WHOAA!" Uraraka startled her out of focus and Izuku opened her eyes to look up at the girl, then at the device in her hand as it beeped out a number. "129?! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!"
"Oh geez..." Izuku laughed nervously as she let go of the machine, and a few others looked over at her. She looked at her hand and felt the strain in her muscles. She hadn't accessed One for All, but her hand was still sore. She knew she could do better but her muscles were still getting used to the extremes she was testing them against. "Haha, I might have over done it a tiny bit..."
Izuku carried on with the rest of their class through their small trials of strength. She was starting to feel a dark stare aimed at the back of her head every now and then, but when she turned around to look for who it was, no one was looking her way, but Katsuki was usually setting off an explosion in his fists the second she looked.
She stood with the others as it came time for the softball throw, and she felt sore all over. With every test she was focusing on using her quirk in different parts of her body and slowly loosing control over how much power she put out. She looked down at her legs, and saw the distinguished purple color around her ankles form from when she did the long jump. She was almost sent to the infirmary right away but she insisted pushing on with the tests, not wanting to give up just yet. She heard Uraraka's name called out or the soft ball throw and she smiled as the girl tossed the ball, but it slowly disappeared into the blue sky and Aizawa held up the reader to show a score of infinity.
"WHOAAA!" Izuku cried out, and Uraraka ran back over with a bright smile on her face. "That was amazing!"
"I'm sure you'll do just as great!" Uraraka said with a bright tone as she patted Izuku on the shoulder. "Give it your all!"
"My all..." Izuku said with a nervous smile, as she stepped up to throw next, and received a new ball from Aizawa. She looked at it in her hand, and gripped the front of her uniform with her other hand as she stared at it, before looking up to the sky. 'I've been doing pretty well, but the others all had something they really stood out in, I can't just do everything half-assed... I gotta put my all into it like Ura-chan... I gotta show them I'm here for a reason...'
"Midoriya looks like she's been holding back." Iida said from the side lines as the class watched her. "She's been doing better than your average person, but with that power she showed in the exam, why wont she use it... She should have topped all of our scores."
"What the fuck are you talking about, glasses?! She's just a muscled quirkless idiot, She can't do shit." Katsuki said with a growl, and both Uraraka and Iida looked at him with surprise. "What?! That fucking nerd could never do anything, never in her whole life! She trains herself for a bit, and all of a sudden she can do just a bit better? Fuck that."
"Quirkless... Did you not see what she did at the entrance exam? That power..." Iida started but Uraraka stepped forwards with the look of a mother whose cubs were threatened on her face.
"She has way more power than those stupid explosions of yours!" She pointed a finger at Katsuki, who looked like he snapped. "You're just jealous!"
"The fuck did you say?!" Katsuki growled, and Aizawa looked over at the class with a dark look. Izuku was looking too, having heard everything herself, she gripped the ball in her hand as she shook with nervousness.
"Could we have some quiet from the peanut gallery?" Aizawa demanded and the others all stayed silent while Katsuki growled in anger, glaring at Izuku. "Proceed, Midoriya."
Izuku nodded her head vigorously before she looked out at the field. She took a deep breath like All Might had always told her to do, and calmed her nervous. Her eyes narrowed at the horizon and she stepped her right foot back as she wound up for her throw. Channelling all her strength into her right arm, she felt a crackle of electricity and power pulse through her veins.
"Holy crap..." The guy with red hair commented as the class watched the smallest girl in the class. Her eyes looked as if they glowed green, and her hair started to stand on end. They all held their breath as she put her whole body into hucking the ball as hard as she could, but at the last second, she felt it all leave her, and she glanced up as the ball hit the ground about 40 m away from her.
"Wh-what..." She stood up, her hand shaking as she looked at the ball. "I-I tried using all my power... I don't understand what..."
"I erased your quirk." Aizawa huffed out and the whole class looked over at him. Izuku's head whipped around to look at her teacher and his eyes glared darkly at her.
"Y-you... You're Eraserhead!" She said with shock and awe, but her fingers were trembling from her nerves. What had she possibly done too upset her teacher already? The class all murmured about their teacher, until he spoke.
"From what I saw, you can't handle your quirk at all." He pointed at her ankles where the bruising was becoming more evident, and then at her left arm that was also becoming discolored. "Your body is handling your quirk like you were 5 years old and messing around with it. How you got into the academy I have no idea, but at this rate if you use that much power you'll cripple yourself like you almost did during the entrance exam. Do you think some one will come save you if you do that...?"
Izuku felt herself pale as she took a step back from her teacher who was now only feet away as he lectured her. "I-I... No... I didn't..."
"Nobody is in a position to come to your aid... You are supposed to be the hero, not the one being rescued. There's a certain Hero who made a name for himself by rescuing over a thousand people from a disaster all by himself... You have his courage, I'll give you that. You also have the same brute strength he does... But if you run around with out thinking about the strain on your body, you'll just become an idiot who needs saving! Until you learn to control your power better, you wont be able to become a hero."
Izuku stood there, stunned by the words her teacher spoke. Her hands had stopped shaking and she was staring into the unblinking eyes of her teacher. He was right... How could she save people if she herself was injured from trying to help? Her once timid expression hardened to one of determination as she clenched her fists at her side. Her expression conveyed her understanding of what her teacher said, and Aizawa let out a sigh as he closed his eyes and stepped away from her after handing her another ball.
"I gave you back your quirk. Try pitching again, and lets get this over with." He said with a wave of his hand.
Izuku nodded her head, and turned back to look at the field, and gripped the ball tightly in her hand again.
"Are you worried for her...?" Iida looked down at Uraraka who had her own fists clenched. "It looks like she's had some coaching, but Sensei saw her power about to break her..."
Uraraka looked up at the tall boy, and nodded her head. They all had seen it, the power was hard not too notice, and she looked over at Katsuki who had a confused expression on his face mixed with anger. "She can do it, I know she can." Uraraka turned her head to look back at Izuku, smiling at the look of determination on her face.
"I can adjust it, I just let myself get too wound up... I don't have to go full throttle, I just have to do better than my better than average strength... It's like All Might said, it takes time to get used to it... They've all had more time... but I've worked hard to stand where I am today... I need to catch up too the others, but I can't expect to do it all in one go... But I can show them I'm capable..." Her words were all dark mutters to herself under her breath, and she looked up at the horizon again, her eyes shining brightly. "I can do it..."
She stepped her right foot back again, and her whole arm and hand glowed a bright green. "I can show them... I can show them my progress, I can show Kacchan I'm strong, stronger than him..." She felt her arm pulse with readiness, and her look hardened at the horizon. "I CAN DO IT!" She screamed out, as she hucked the ball with her strength, and her eyes glowed green as she pushed One for All into her finger tips, and as she released it, there was a sonic boom and a gust of wind that blew across the field, ruffling everyone's hair and uniforms as they watched in awe as the ball disappeared from sight. Izuku was breathing heavily, and she grabbed her wrist with her left hand, and looked down at her fingers. Some of them were badly bruised, instantly purple from the use of One for All she threw in at the last second, and she laughed nervously as she clenched and unclenched her fingers. It hurt, but no broken bones...
"739.3 m" The device their sensei held in his hands beeped out the score, as the class stared with wide eyes at the girl who nearly blew them all away.
"Sensei..." Izuku looked up at her teacher, a proud look in her eyes as a few tears started to form. She held up her hand, and clenched it into a fist to show she could still use all her digits. "I can still move!"
"OHO?!" Aizawa's expression turned into a surprised grin as Izuku inspected her hand for any other injuries, but could see nothing else wrong with it other than the bruising on a couple of her fingers.
"WOOHOOOO! YOU FINALLY GOT A HERO LIKE SCORE!" Uraraka cheered from the side and pumped her fists in the air.
"Your fingers are swollen, reminds me of the entrance exam, but it looks like you can still use them." Iida adjusted his glasses as he looked on.
"haa, I did it. I think I used to much though..." Izuku looked down at her bruised hand with a prdeful smile on her face, before she heard feet stomping towards her in anger. She looked up, and cried out as she saw Katsuki all of a sudden run at her, hands exploding and a look of pure rage on his face.
"THE FUCK WAS THAT, DEKU?! YOU BETTER EXPLAIN THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!" He charged at her, and Izuku took a step back as a fist came towards her, popping with explosions before h was wrapped up in strips of cloth and the fist that almost connected with her did nothing, not even a small fire. "THE FUCK IS THIS CLOTH?! I CAN'T..."
"It's my special weapon to capture villains with, made with carbon nanofibers, but that's not the problem here... Stop making me use my quirk so much, I've got dry eye, dammit!" Aizawa growled out at Katsuki who stopped struggling against the weapon and glared at the teacher. "We're wasting time here," Aizawa closed his eyes and turned to the rest of the class as he let the next pitcher go.
Izuku slipped away from behind katsuki and back towards the others. Uraraka was on her in an instant with the pink skinned girl from earlier.
"Are your fingers alright...?" Uraraka asked, looking at Izuku'z hand with worry, but Izuku nodded her head and beamed at Uraraka brightly. "You were really cool out there, that pitch was amazing!"
"Thank you, I tried my best." Izuku's smile stayed on her face, but she could feel the glare from earlier on the back of her head, and knew now who was glaring at her this whole time... It was Katsuki. She let out a soft sigh, before Uraraka made her look at her with two hands on the side of her face directing her gaze.
"What the heck was with that Bakugo...? Why was he so angry at you?" She asked curiously, and Izuku's smile from before became a nervous one in a split second.
"Oh uhm, He's the friend I spoke about earlier in the locker room, we've known each other since we were 3." Izuku thought back to the memories of when they were kids, when Katsuki fell off a log and she had caught him by the hand and pulled him up to keep him from falling in the water. That was the first time he ever snapped at her and they both went down with a splash. She was so shocked by his outburst, and it was the first time he ever put her down with words of anger. "He's always yelling at me like that, don't worry about it!"
"... Are you sure you don't want to get married with me?" Uraraka asked with a look on her face that was one of pain she felt for Izuku's tragic lack of friends, and anger at Katsuki for making the cute girl in front of her think that what he showed her was friendship and not flat out bullying.
"Uraraka!" Izuku's cheeks went a bright red and she waved her hands around in embarrassment.
"Ura-chan, if you keep saying things like that she will start to think you're serious." The pink girl said with a laugh as a few of the other girls stood by giggling to themselves.
"I am serious, look at this face!" Uraraka clapped her hands on Izuku's cheeks and turned the embarrassed girls head to show the others the cute expression on her face. "How could you not want to protect this from harm for the rest of your life?!"
"U-U-Urachaaaaaan!" Izuku's arms went wild as she grabbed at her friend. The brunette looked at Izuku as a majority of the class burst out laughing as the green haired girl started to float up into the air because of Uraraka's quirk.
"OH MY GOSH I'M SO SORRY!" Uraraka let go of Izuku'z cheeks in surprise and she started to float higher. "AAAAAAH!"
"Got you!" The frog girl from before said with a kero as her tongue shot out and wrapped around the floating girl, while Uraraka tented her fingers together to release her quirk. Izuku let out a sigh of relief as she was lowered back down to solid ground.
"Thank you," She smiled at the frog girl, then looked over at Uraraka who was fretting over accidentally using her quirk. Izuku smiled, and then a laugh started to leave her lips, before she hugged her middle. The others all looked at her, stunned to see another new expression on the nervous girls face, before they all started to giggle and laugh. "Wow, that was scary, but fun!" Izuku brushed some tears from her cheeks to look over at Uraraka who was smiling.
"... She's laughing...?" Katsuki muttered to himself, still grumbling with anger. He had watched the whole interaction from afar, his fists shoved into his pockets. He was still pissed off, and couldn't believe everything that stupid Deku had done. He figured maybe she was just going to the gym, training herself up to get stronger, but what the fuck was that sonic boom from the ball throw? His eye twitched in anger as he kicked a rock on the field, causing it to explode into pieces. He was furious with her, she had kept something like that a secret from him and everyone for 12 years?! She told him everything, every stupid last thing regardless of how stupid it was. He was her only friend, he was the only one there for her their whole lives, but he had never seen her laugh like that before... Not since they were 4... "FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" He shouted into the wind, and the others he stood with looked at him with apprehension and side stepped away.
Back in the locker room after class had ended, Izuku was sitting on the bench with a look of shock still plastered on her face. They whole class had been surprised to find out that no one was expelled, that Aizawa had just been joking the whole time, but what surprised her more was that she had placed 13th in the class, despite her lackluster performance in most trials.
"You need to have more confidence in yourself, you did way better than I did!" Izuku looked over at a floating bra and pair of panties, and let out a soft laugh, as she pulled off her own gym uniform.
"Thanks, uh..." She stopped for a moment, realizing she had been so caught up in thinking about herself she hadn't caught anyone else's name other that Uraraka's. "Oh... Oh god I'm so sorry!" Izuku blushed a bright pink and the girls all looked to her. "I didn't... I didn't catch anyones names! I'm so sorry!"
"No worries!" The girl with the earphone jacks and short purple bob waved a hand at her. "We could tell you were thinking all day, and muttering to yourself. My name's Kyoka Jiro!"
"Oh oh! I'm Mina Ashido!" The pink girl called out cheerfully as she fixed her tie on her uniform.
"I'm Tsuyu Asui, kero." The Frog girl fixed her hair neatly, and smiled warmly at Izuku.
"My name is Toru Hagakure!" The invisible girl said happily as Izuku watched a floating shirt get buttoned up.
"And I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, It's a pleasure to meet you." The tall girl from before bowed politely as after pulling on her jacket.
"You know my name already!" Uraraka said happily, and she gave Izuku a thumbs up. "And your name is Deku Midoriya right?!"
"DEKU?!" Izuku cried out in shock, and shook her head. "Ah n-no! It's not Deku it's Izuku... Izuku Midoriya."
"Isn't Deku what that Bakugo brat called you?" Ashido asked with a frown as she watched Izuku scramble to do her own tie up.
"N-no... Kacchan just calls me that as like an insult..." Izuku said with a nervous smile as she slipped her shoes back on.
"What...? I'm so sorry!" Uraraka said with a horrified look on her face. "But you know... It's really cute. It's got a 'Never Give Up' vibe, you know?"
"... You can all call me that if you like..." Izuku said with a bright red blush to her cheeks as she looked down at the ground away from the others. "I don't mind if you guys want to call me that, I'd like it actually."
"Midoriya!" Yaoyorozu said with a sigh. "I thought it was an insult?"
"No It's okay." Izuku lifted her head, and smiled at the others. "It's not an insult if you guys are saying it."
"Deeeeeeeeeku-chaaaaaaaaaan!" Uraraka cried out, and threw her arms around her new friend to hug her tight.
"I like it, it's cute, Kero." Asui said with a smile. "On that note, everyone should call my Tsuyu-chan."
"I like that, you can all call me Mina then!" Ashido said with a bright laugh, as all the others all agreed on the first name basis.
"Call me Ochako!" Uraraka beamed at Izuku happily, causing the smaller girl to blush again, and nodded her head.
"Uh uhm..." Izuku had never had friends before, and it made her nervous. Her first girl friends... "O-Ocha-chan..."
"AAAAH! THIS IS WHAT HIGHSCHOOL IS ALL ABOUT!" Uraraka cried out happily as she hugged Izuku to her tightly.
"Hey hey, say Mina-chan!" Ashido said excitedly and Izuku closed her eyes.
"M-Mina-chan..." Izuku spluttered out, and the pink hero-to-be squealed with delight.
"You know, I know Aizawa-sensei said we weren't here at Yuuei to go out after school for ice cream, but we should do it anyways!" Uraraka said with a bright smile as the two girls walked towards the gate together. Izuku smiled brightly at her as she walked with her first friend, and looked down at her healed up hands. She had visited recovery girl to get fixed up before leaving for the day, and she smiled at how well she was healed up, but she felt exhausted. She looked up at the school gate as they approached it before a hand caught her by the shoulder to stop her.
"Are your fingers okay?" it was Iida who looked concerned for her well being. Izuku smiled brightly at him and nodded her head.
"Yeah everything is all good!" Izuku said brightly and held up her hand.
"I have to say, Aizawa-sensei really got me! So this is what the highest school of learning heroics is like! Now I can see how a teacher can teach from deception!"
"You're a really honest and diligent guy, aren't you?" Izuku said with a laugh as she watched Iida moved his hands around.
"Thank you!" Iida said proudly and the girls both laughed a bit and introduced themselves formally.
They three of them left the school grounds, talking to each other happily, while Izuku wore a bright smile for the first time in her life as she left school for the day. She couldn't wait for tomorrow!
The next morning the whole class was in their assigned seating, and going through their their normal lessons like most schools did. She could see the thoughts on the other students written on their faces about how normal everything was first thing in the morning, and Izuku smiled to herself as she turned back to look at her notes, but jumped a bit in her seat as she saw Katsuki was turned to look at her, a look of anger plastered all over his face. "K-Kacchan? Is something wrong?" She asked, not believing still at how she sat right behind him in the class room.
"Get that stupid happy look off your face, Deku. It's pissing me off!" He shouted at her, before a book connected with the back of his head.
"Please pay attention in class!" Present Mic shouted at him, and Katsuki grumbled as he turned back around and Izuku sweated nervously as she continued to pay attention to her studies. It wasn't until after lunch time that the class was abuzz with excitement for their afternoon classes which were hero studies!
"IT'S MEEEEEEE!" A familiar voice shouted from the hallway, and Izuku looked up with excitement towards the door as it slid open, and All Might leaned into the class room dramatically. "ENTERING THE CLASS ROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
"That's not normal at all!" The plain guy with the Tape quirk yelled out with a laugh as the whole class chattered with excitement to each other at the sight of All Might himself!
"FOUNDATINAL HERO STUDIES! FOR THIS CLASS WE'LL BE BUILDING UP YOUR HER FOUNDATION THROUGH VARIOUS TRIALS!" All Might stuck a pose as he held up a card with the word BATTLE plastered across it to show the whole class. "LETS JUMP RIGHT IN WITH A TRIAL OF BATTLE!"
"Battle?" Izuku asked to herself as the whole class buzzed with even more excitement while some shelves started to pop out of the wall with suit cases on them with different numbers.
"TO GO WITH YOUR FIRST BATTLE, WE'VE PREPARED THE GEAR YOU HAD REQUESTS SENT IN FOR TO MATCH YOUR QUIRKS!" All Might struck another pose to point at the cases and the whole class was on their feet now as they looked at the cases. "NOW EVERYONE GET CHANGED AND WE CAN GET STARTED! ONCE YOU'RE READY GATHER AT GROUNDS BETA AND LET THE TEST OF BATTLE BEGIN!"
The class all scrambled to get their costume cases, and Izuku was diving in with them happily as she grabbed hers, and they all took off for the changing rooms.
"Ohcako-chan! Your costume is so cute!" Ashido cried out happily as the girls finished getting dressed in their hero suits. The pink girl herself wore an eye popping blue suit with a fur like jacket.
"It's a bit puffy, but that's alright!" Uraraka said happily as she looked at the others girls getting ready.
"Look at Deku-chan!" Hagakure shouted with excitement, a floating glove pointing at the timid girl in the corner.
"SO CUUUUUUUUUUTE!" Uraraka cried out happily as Izuku pulled on her long white gloves, and smiled nervously at the others. She wore a jump suit of sorts that had puffy short sleeves and puffy short legs. She wore tall black boots with knee pads, and a red utility belt. She nervously pulled up her face mask over her mouth to hide her blush as the others gushed about the ribbon in her hair looking like bunny ears.
"You have a hood too." Yaoyorozu said with a smile as she pulled the hood up over the shy girls head, and the same ear like appendages were on the hood as well as the eye mask part fell over her face.
"A-ah... bunnies are my favorite animal!" Izuku tried to explain as she pushed the hood bad and saw the faces of adoration on the other girls. She didn't have the heart to tell them the 'ears' were actually a mimic of All Might's hair style.
"It's cute, it suits you." Jirou said with a grin, and she opened the locker room door. "Well let's go show those boys what we girls are made of!"
"YEAH!" The girls all shouted, while Yaoyorozu and Izuku just pumped their fists quietly. They took off to the battle ground beta for their first official hero class.
"WELCOME EVERYONE!" All Might said with a bright grin. "Don't you all look fancy! From now on, CONSIDER YOURSELF REAL HEROES!" He said with a fist in the air and the whole class shouted with excitement. Izuku's eyes scanned the class, until they landed on Katsuki. She noticed his costume was flashy, large grenade gauntlets on his arms and a black mask tied across his face with the back of it looking like an explosion. His eyes glanced over at her and they made eye contact. She watched his expression sour instantly and he glared at her, full of the same rage he had yesterday.
"Okay Class, Today we have a special battle trial... AND INDOOR BATTLE!" All Might grinned warmly at the class, and Izuku nervously pulled her hood up over her head to try and hide from Katsuki's glare, and made sure her face mask covered the lower half of her face properly. "Villain clean up is usually seen out in the open, but statistically the better part of it is and indoor job! Most acts of villainy are committed in office buildings or banks!"
"For this test, you'll separate into 'Villain' and 'Hero' groups for a TWO-ON-TWO TEAM BATTLE!" All might put hs hands on his hips and stood proudly.
"What about the foundational training, kero?" Asui looked on curiously and All Might's grin got bigger.
"THIS IS FOUNDATIONAL TRAINING!" He held up a fist clenched tightly. "Only this time there wont be any robots to smash and destroy!" The class started buzzing with questions about how people would win or if there were threats of expulsion like from Aizawa-sensei, or how groups would be decided. "HHHHHHHHN, I CAN'T HEAR YOU IF YOU ALL TALK AT ONCE! For this training we'll have the 'villains' guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying, the 'Heroes' must stop them and their nefarious scheme before it's too late! If the Heroes capture the Villains or reach the nuclear weapon before time runs out, they win. If the Villains manage to keep the core away from them or capture the heroes, the Villains win." All Might was reading a tiny piece of paper in his hands, and Izuku laughed a bit behind her mask.
"Your teammates and opponents will be decided by LOTTERY!" All Might held up a box proudly.
"Well Pros are often forced to team up with others from other agencies, with out knowing anything about each other." Izuku said out loud, and others turned to look at her as she tapped her finger on her mask. "This is probably testing our ability to work with others..."
"YES! THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might shouted proudly, but looked nervous. "NOW LET'S GET STARTED SHALL WE!?"
Izuku blushed a bright red as Uraraka and her were paired up together, and she looked at her new friend with pride, as the other girl hugged her excitedly. She looked over at the other pairs, seeing Katsuki was teamed up with Iida, and she felt a little sorry for her other friend who was clad in what looked like a suit of knight's armour.
"Poor Iida..." Uraraka sighed out, "I feel bad for him. That Bakugo is hard to handle by the looks of it."
"He can be, yeah." Izuku said with a laugh, and they turned to look at All Might as he gathered the attention of the class.
"OKAY! Let's get started with the first two pairs to do combat!" He shoved his large hands into two separate boxes and pulled out two balls in each hand. "PAIR A WILL BE HEROES!" He shouted excitedly and Uraraka clapped her hands happily as she jumped up and down beside Izuku whose eyes went from the second ball to Katuski's eyes in the crowd.
"THE VILLAINS WILL BE PAIR D!" All Might's words sounded far off in the distance as Katsuki glared back at her while they made eye contact.
"Oh boy... Just my Luck that I'm facing him first thing..." Izuku thought nervously to herself.
