*Midoriya's P.O.V*

The press was outside the gates clambering for All Might... like the annoying people they are. Remember when the press wasn't so invasive? I sure as heck don't. Anyway I ignored them and walked inside... Iida, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu... didn't, they actually answered their questions, that's the first trap.

A-Anyway, enough ranting about the mosquitos that are the press, we entered class and Mr. Aizawa had some advice over our battle trial yesterday.

"Bakugou. Grow up already. Stop wasting your talent." Mr. Aizawa scoulded.

"... Got it." Bakugou growled... I don't know if he's being genuine, or telling Mr. Aizawa what he wants to hear. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I gave Iida a fresh start... I'll give him one too, besides he hasn't given me much crap yet. So... progress?

"Now on to Homeroom business... sorry for the sudden announcement today, but..." Mr. Aizawa said as everyone braced for the worst, "You'll pick a Class President." Mr. Aizawa said.

Wow... something normal.

And of course everyone springs at the opportunity to do something for their class... not me though. Too much effort needed to do stuff.

"Silence, everyone, please!" Iida called out which silenced the whole class, "The Class President's duty is to lead others. That's not something just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore, the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader!"

"Yes! I agree. As such I nominate Iida for the position." I said as I pointed at him... which led everyone... excluding Iida, to be confused, "What? I studied politics one summer because I was bored, It's the first rule of position elections, weed out the many to get the few. Why do you think we have like 5 people for the Prime Minister Elections." I said, "That's why I nominated Iida, all in favor raise your hand." I said as 11 other people including Iida himself, Yaoyorozu, and Uraraka raised their hands. "11/20, majority rules that means Iida has been cleared for the actual elections." I said, "It's also fun to point at people.

"Oh I see, then in that case... I nominate Yaoyorozu!" Sero said pointing to Yaoyorozu in gradios fashion. "Wow this is fun."

"Alright, all in favor?" I asked as I raised my hand, along with 13 out of 20 people. "Alright motion passes, Yaoyorozu has made it to the actual elections. Anyone else?" I asked.

"I nominate Midoriya." She said pointing at me.

... Shit.

"Yeah, that's true, he knows a lot about politics." Mina said as she raised her hand... as did 17 out of 20 students. Everyone except Bakugou, Todoroki, and I voted for me. What is this America? Don't we have standard with who is leading our country.

(A/N: It's not political bias, if you don't know which leader I'm talking about... but I'm talking about JP Morgan obviously.)

"Looks like Midoriya has made it to the actual elections." Uraraka said.

"Well I step down." I said simply.

"W-What?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Ehh, I just think those two will be better in the position." I said.

"Bullshit! You're just lazy!" Bakugou yelled.

"That's also true." I said as I sat back down.

The official election between the two nominated candidates as started, and by a 15-5 landslide, Yaoyorozu has won the presidency, with Iida as the Vice President.

"It's an honor to be your Class President." Yaoyorozu said with a bow.

"We will make you proud." Iida said with a bow as well.

I smiled inwardly... they were the best options anyway. The Class Presidency was pretty much the only thing that we had to do for Homeroom, and soon all the classes went by in a blur... though I still miss being able to leave class when I deemed fit. Still, these guys are way better than those assholes at Junior High, even if they have... faults.

However... I need my alone time. So I got my lunch and headed outside, there was a nice tree giving me some nice shade with a perfect view of a dead garden... a perfect metaphor for my motivation.

*VREEEE*

Oh great... loud noises.

"Security Level 3 has been broken. All Students. Please evacuate in an orderly fashion." A robotic voice over the intercom said.

Oh great... evacuation. Well at least I'm outside. I grabbed my food and walked towards the evac area... but I saw the source of the noise, the fucking media.

"Do you cockaroaches have anything better to do?" I asked, they turned to face me, then looked angry.

"Who are yo-"

"Don't you recognize him? He's the kid who destroyed the slime villain in one flick of a finger 10 months ago." One reporter said.

... I thought I told them to NOT mention this. Can't trust no one these days, well I could use this to my advantage. "I'm glad you recognize me... now could you kindly get the heck out of my school? This is kinda against the law, and inflitrating a world renowed school will probably ruin your reputation. Right to information or not." I said.

"He's right." Mr. Aizawa said, "If you leave, we'll say this was a misunderstanding."

"But it was a misunderstanding!" Another reporter said.

"As far as we know, and as far as the police will know, it's not." I said before nudging towards the melted metal door, "Unless you can explain how the heck you melted the gate."

...

...

"Fine, we'll be back for that interview." The lead reporter said as they left.

"Man... Public Media is such a total drag." I muttered, before looking at my food, "My Katsudon got cold..."

Mr. Aizawa sighed, "I'll make the announcement, and Midoriya, get to class."

"Got it."

Class got delayed on the count of the annoying prests. Pests and press. Soon class continued and we were told that we were taking a mini field trip to a rather secluded area in U.A. We were participating in 'Rescue Training'... with Class 1-B.

Apparently Mr. Aizawa and Class 1-B's teacher, Vlad King, had a 'discussion' over who should get the area we're using first. Midnight broke hte arguement by saying they should share the area. They agreed... anyway Mr. Aizawa then brought out our hero costumes, he said we could use them, but some are more well suited for the job than others. My costume however just came in if what All Might told me was true. So I wanted to break it in.

My costume was a basic yet useful design. A dark green baggy and reversable jumpsuit. So I can be cool when it's warm, and warm when it's cool. That way I won't have to make a winter and summertime variant. As for the innerworkings, aside from the reversableness it's also extremely durable. So when I consider going all out, I won't destroy my suit. Oh and it's padded to heck and back, serves as armor.

It's not flashy in anyway, but it's thoughtful, so I'm sticking with it.

Everyone has comments about my costume, mostly positive, some said it's basic, some said nothing at all. Then I just shrugged and said I like it so I'm keeping it. They seemed satisfied with that answer. However I was interested in Class 1-B, so I decided to walk over to them.

"Hey are you a-" I greeted before I was cut off by a blonde kid.

"What do you plan to do Class 1-A scu-"

"Anyway, how are you all doing?" I asked walking passed him... too much effort dealing with him.

"Oh, we are well." A strawberry blonde haired girl said before extending her hand, "Itsuka Kendou, nice to meet you." She said.

"Izuku Midoriya." I said shaking her hand, "So what's up with him?" I asked nudging towards the blonde form earlier... ranting and raving to other 1-B students.

"He... gets like that with 1-A present." She said.

... Okay. I'm just going to ignore him...

Iida took his role as Vice President in stride, ordering us to get in line based on table number so we can board the bus in an orderly fashion. Turned out the bus didn't fit that idea.

"This bus' layout ruined my boarding strategy." He muttered looking defeated.

"Iida you really need to chill." Ashido commented.

"If we're pointing out the obvious then there's something I wanna say... about you actually." Asui said.

"What?" I asked her.

"Your Quirk... isn't it a lot like All Mights?" She asked.

"Sure, I throw things really hard and run really fast. Makes sense how you'd get the two mixed up." I said.

"Yeah, what's up with that?" Kirishima asked.

"... Who knows." I said simply.

"But-"

"Who. Knows." I re-stated.

"Moving on... how did you get into this school? Ribbit." Asui asked.

"... What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well Yaoyorozu exclaimed during battle training that you skipped class, not to mention Bakugou said you were incredibly lazy." She said, "So how did they let someone like you in?"

"You could reword that a little better." I commented, "But I skipped class because I didn't need to be there." I said.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I maintained straight As, the classes didn't teach me anything I didn't already know at the time. So I didn't show up, aside from tests and to turn in my weekly packet of homework. I usually did it in a day though." I said, "As for the laziness... ehh, there are things you shouldn't waste your energy on."

"... I see." She muttered.

"Well you don't have the makings of a true hero." Aoyama commented.

"I got that a lot." I said before smirking, "And I prefered it that way."

Before Asui or anyone could ask about my wording or the implication Mr. Aizawa told us that we are here.

"Welp, time to go work." I said as I got off the bus first.

39 of us stood in front of Mr. Aizawa, and Thirteen, I just sat on the wall where the bushes were at the edge of the main entrance.

"Where's Mr. Vlad?" Kendou asked.

"He's back at school, he had some important business to take care of... whatever that is."

*Meanwhile back at school*

"... So you two might as well take the time to listen to some of my teaching philosophies. They could prove useful during your teaching endeavors." Nezu said to skinny All Might and Vlad King, all the while pouring himself some freshly brewed tea.

'Oh great this is turning into a lecture...' They both thought in unison, but didn't dare question the one who writes their paychecks.

"Alright, let's get started. Midoriya, you might want to come closer." Thirteen said.

"I'm all ears." I called out, they nodded and continued on with their lecture... so far they're my favorite teacher for not making me join the group. There are times I want to be alone.

Thirteen's explanation consisted of the powers of Quirks, and how they can be very well used to kill, but they could be used to save, hence why the USJ... yes that's the abreviation, was created so we can use our Quirks in natural disasters.

"Now, let's get starte-" Mr. Aizawa said before he turned to face the stairwell, a black protal appeared, as people started coming out.

"Huddle up and don't move!" Mr. Aizawa said, before putting his goggles on, "Thirteen protect the students!"

"What the heck's that?! More battle robots? Like during the entrance exam?!" Kirishima asked.

Don't move... those are villains." Mr. Aizawa stated, causing everyone to tense up in fear... man what a drag.

"The only heroes I see are Thirteen and Erasurehead. Perplexing. According to the schedule we retrieved from U.A, All Might should be here as well." A mist villain said.

So they're here for All Might, to kill him probably, makes the most sense why they want All Might.

"So you scumbags used the press as a cover and sneaked onto our campus." Mr. Aizawa figured out.

"Where is he?" The hand villain asked, "I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who're eager to meet him. They want All Might. The great Symbol of Peace. I can't believe he's not here." He complained before sighing, "Maybe if I kill a few kids, he'll come out to play."

Mr. Aizawa activated his Quirk and prepared to jump into battle. While the others were in disbelief over how there are so many villains and how could they not have triggered the alarm. Todoroki inferred that it had to be one of the villain's Quirk that is masking their presence and as such isn't setting off the alarm.

Mr. Aizawa told Thirteen to get us out of here and call the campus for help, before he jumped down to fight the villains.

"Let's go everyone!" Thirteen yelled... but wait, where's the mi-

"Wait!" I called out, but it was too late, the mist villain appared right in front of Thirteen and the others.

"There is no escape for you." The mist villain said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains. I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves in to this haven of justice to say hello. And besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace, to take his last breath?"

I knew it... they really are here to kill All Might. Though that's pretty damn ambitious for a bunch of villains that are being beat by Mr. Aizawa... maybe it's the muscly brain guy in the back's job.

"I believe he was supposed to be here today, and yet I see no sign of him. There must've been some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen. Ah, well, in the end, I supposed it doesn't matter." He said as he expanded his body, "I still have a role to play."

Kirishima and Bakugou rushed forward towards the villain, "Idiots!" I yelled... but it was too late. They landed their punch and explosion in him, but he reappeared once the dust settled.

"W-What?!" Kirishima asked.

"Have you taken Physics before?! He's gas, how are you going to PUNCH GAS?!" I yelled, "Besides... think about it. He's gas, yet he suddenly appeared in front of us in a fraction of a second. I have two theories why." I said which got the mist villains attention, "The first theory was that one of the villains has a wind manipulation Quirk, we could have felt it though, so that theory was shot down immediately. The second and most likely theory... he has a warp Quirk."

There was silence, before the sound of clapping was heard, "You catch on quick... impressive." He said, before continuing his attack, "But knowing my Quirk means no difference!" He yelled as he enveloped everyone in a misty sphere, I'm too far away to get caught... but if that's how he warps people, then I need to get someone out of there fast!

I used my speed to rush inside the dome, I see a red and white hat... a student. I picked them up and did a complete 180... they were rather light, makes my life easier. Once I was out I looked to see who I got out of there. They were wearing a hat that looked like a red spotted mushroom. "H-Huh, what happened?" She asked looking at me.

"That villain used his Quirk." I said as I saw that at least 80% of the students are gone, leaving Me, the girl, Iida, Uraraka, Kendou, Ashido, Sato, Shoji, some guy with weird eyes, Sero, a white haired girl with weird arm posture, and that blonde guy from earlier. "He transported them somewhere, Shoji, can you get a lock on them?"

"Already on it." He said as he sprouted a few years on his arms, "They're all over the USJ, but I can hear them fighting."

"They probably have villains stationed around the different sectors. So they can pick some of us off while dealing with All Might." I said.

I felt the girl tense up and start trembling... she's scared. Think Izuku, how did Mom used to help me when I was scared with nightmares when I was younger?

'Whever you're scared or nervous about a fight, or anything for that matter, just try and deal with it by smiling.' All Might's words flashed through my head.

"Hey, don't worry about them. They got into this school for a reason. If anything I should be scared of the villains, the others will beat them with one arm tied behind their backs." I said with a smile... she stopped trembling, so that must be a good sign, "Besides, I'll protect you. We'll get through this, then after all 40 of us can go out and get strawberry banana smoothies. Is that cool, Itake?"

"I-Itake?" She asked.

"Well yeah, I don't know your name, and you have that mushroom on your head, and the first mushroom that popped into my mind was Shiitake mushrooms, so I decided to call you Itake... do you not like it?" I asked.

"N-No, that's fine." She said as she gave me a smile... good, she's not as scared anymore.

However, I looked up to glare at the villain, "Shoji... protect Itake." I said as I set her down next to him.

"W-What are you going to do?" Shoji asked but I kept walking towards him.

"Midoriya, get back!" Thirteen yelled, but I ignored her orders. I got close and flicked my fingers at the mist villain, he was sent flying towards the top corner, the one next to the door. Everyone was stunned by that flash of power, but I kept walking. He tried to rush towards me, but I kept flicking him away. Once I reached the door I punched it off the hinges.

"Iida... go get help." I said.

"W-What?" Iida asked.

"You're the fastest one here, by a country mile. So go to U.A and get some back up." I responded.

"B-But-"

"Now!" I yelled, "Remember what I said at the Entrance Exam, 'This is what separates the heroes from the wannabes?' Well now is a good time to use your Quirk to be a hero!" I yelled, "Now go, before I grab you by the collar and throw you outside."

Iida nodded before rushing outside, the mist villain got up once Iida left... then disappeared. Once Iida left a loud slam echoed throughout the USJ. We all turned to see the muscle villain pinning down Mr. Aizawa and slamming his face into the pavement. I was hoping he would be able to handle it... but looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty. I began walking towards the stairs.

"Midoriya, you can't be serious!" Sero yelled.

"I'm never serious." I said as I continued walking towards the stairs.

"But that'll kill you, it's suicide!" Itake yelled, trying to get me to stay.

"Well luckily I'm not suicidal. Besides, I'm of no use to anyone if I'm dead." I said before turning back around, "I usually never make promises, but when I do, I keep them. So I will beat that villain, and survive. Then I'll uphold my promise of strawberry banana smoothies." I said before walking towards the stairs again.

"But if Mr. Aizawa can't take him down, what makes you think you can?!" The weird eye guy asked.

"Wow, you're really bad at pep talks. But if you must know..." I said before winking at them, "At this point... I can't afford not to care anymore."

And then... I kicked off the top step and zoomed down to the ground level.

Once there I took out all of the villains in a flash before walking slowly towards the stunned villains and Mr. Aizawa. Once I was about two meters away I stopped, "Let him go." I said.

The hand villain was shocked for a few seconds before laughing, "Man kids these days surely are amazing, but this isn't the playground kid, I'm more powerful that you can imagine." He said.

"Then why is he doing the fighting?" I asked nudging towards the muscle villain, "That... is Nomu, he was designed to kill All Might, but he follows my every command."

"... Gross, so anyway I'm just here to get my teacher and leave, but since he won't let go... I'll just have to make him let go." I said as I launched myself at Mr. Hands On Approach, as I expected the muscle villain blocked the punch. "I figured you'd have super speed, and judging by the muscle mass... unless you been hitting the gym, you have super strength as well." I said before hopping back in front of Mr. Aizawa.

"Midoriya... get out of here." Mr. Aizawa muttered.

"Sorry, couldn't hear you, you must have a collpased lung." I said before turning back to the villains... then the mist villain suddenly reappared.

"Tomura Shigaraki." The mist villain said, so that's his name... good I was tired of calling him the 'Hand Villain'.

"Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen?" Shigaraki asked, so he's Kurogiri... good now I know their names.

"No, I was stopped by that one, and one of the students managed to escape." He said.

Shigaraki tensed up and began scratching his neck... "Kurogiri... you fool... If you weren't our warp gate, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body." He said... then he stopped scratching his neck, "There's no way we can win if dozens of pros show up to stop us. It's game over. Back to the title screen. And I was looking forwards to finishing this today. Damn it. Let's go home." He said before looking at me, "But first... he's too much of a threat," He said before pointing at me.

"Nomu, kill him."

Before I could even react, the muscle monster known as Nomu, rushed towards me and punched me square in the stomach... it hurt... a lot, but I'm not down? How? I grabbed his arm and tossed him into the fountain behind the two villains so I can process this. How can this be? My HP should be at 1 or something, aka one hit from being out of commission... wait HP, 'Hope Points', there is only 1 explanation.

These guys give me hope.

It's absolutely cheesy, but it makes sense. "You're going to have to try harder than that." I said before standing up straight and getting ready for a fight. I'm still in this, but I don't know how many more hits I can take now... I should be careful and not get hit at all or else I might be game overed. Iida will be back, to bring reinforcements, while I could take him down probably with my full power I can't risk it.

Nomu got out from the fountain and rushed towards me, I blocked his punch with my own, creating a shockwave from the kinetic energy. Stall!

"So why are you guys doing this? Why kill All Might?" I asked while dodging and punching the Nomu in the chest.

"Because heroes think they can get away with being as violent as you want if they say it's for the sake of others. Well that pisses me off." Shigaraki said, "Why do people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic and others are villanous?" He asked.

... That sounds like a load of garbage... but I have to keep stalling. "Yeah, I hate that too." I said.

"Midoriya-"

"They use their Quirks to save people, and not care about the collateral damage they cause in return. Making people like me have to pay more for their mess. That feeling of knowing that no matter what you do, there is always an outside force that screws you over. It makes it really hard for me to give it my all." I said before dodging and punching the Nomu again... "Or is that a bad excuse of being lazy... the hell if I know."

Not that what I said was a lie, had Quirks not exist, I probably would have focused more on other things instead of having to work.

Shigaraki laughed at my reason, "You see, heroes just make other peoples lives more miserable. But why are you still fighting us?" He asked.

"Because..." I said before punching the Nomu far out of the way, "I want to be a hero for money so I can give my mom a better life. I decided to come here because I could... however, I met some people, actually decent people and not like the scum at my Junior High, I actually care about them. And seeing what would have happened had I not stepped in... well I couldn't afford to not care anymore." I said as Nomu got up and rushed back towards me, "You made a mistake attacking us now." I said as I blocked Nomu's punch with my own again.

"U.A... IS UNDER MY PROTECTION!" I yelled as I began unleashing a flurry of punches on the Nomy, who began attacking back with his own flurry of punches. Faster... FASTER!

His punches were getting deflected, I took that opportunity to knock him into the air... time to finish this thing off! As it was falling back down I used One for All and braced for the consequences.

"You won't eliminate..."

"I am here!"

"MY HOPE!" I yelled as I delivered the most powerful punch I could muster, causing a delayed explosion that caused the Nomu to soar towards the roof, then break past it... I did it...

"Young Midoriya!" A faint voice yelled.

I... saved...everyone...

...

...

My eyes shot open, as a familiar sight of florecent lights met my vision. "W-What happened?" I asked as I suddenly felt my headache.

"The other villains escaped, once All Might showed up they didn't see a point in staying." A voice I instantly recognized as Recovery Girl's said.

"Good... is everyone alright?" I asked.

"Yes, everyone wasn't harmed... aside from your arm of course." She said as I saw my bandaged arm, "I won't scold you for not using One for All properly, since you didn't have a choice."

"Sorry about that... I wanted to stall for All Might to come, but I kinda lost myself." I said, "I suddenly had the desire to protect everyone."

"That's why I chose you as my successor."

I turned to see All Might in his skinny form sitting in a chair.

"Oh hey All Might." I greeted as I sat up, the pain as subsided, "Oh, that reminds me. I took a hit from the Nomu, and I didn't collapse instantly." I said which got All Might's attention.

"Really, well that shows you are making progress, why is that?" All Might asked.

"It's... corny. But everyone gave me hope." I said, "I was shocked at that fact when I was still awake after the full force punch. However I came to the realization that my HP or 'Hope Points' has increased." I said.

"But how did you know it was hope? And not that you have gotten more powerful?" Recovery Girl asked.

"Because before I came here I worked out often to get stronger. However as my power and speed increased, the amount of hits I could take decreased as a result. I thought it was because I was getting stronger and in exchange I lose HP. However, as the years went by... my hope and will to do my best went down as well. Could you blame me? Every student in my Junior High was a complete jerk, rent and taxes rising every second because of collateral damage from heroes... those factors made it hard to give it my all." I said, "However, I met my classmates, they were way better than people in my Junior High. They gave me hope." I explained.

...

...

"Again, it's cheesy, but it makes sense." I said before getting to my feet. "Am I clear to go?" I asked.

Recovery Girl nodded, "Yes, school will be cancelled tomorrow for recuperation, no exceptions." Recovery Girl said.

"Oh good... in that case." I said which got their attention.

"Do you know any good smoothie places?"
