SXB: Hey guys, sorry for the delay in chapters. I had to get ready to return to college. Anyway... here's the next chapter of MHA- Just Let Me Try. Let me know what you think!

SXB: Edit- So after checking the reviews I got today, I wanted to make some changes and somethings clear. Firstly, numbers and precents have been tweaked to be more realistic in their ranges. Alos, to the guy who left the particularly...introspective review. I understand that you may not like how I've written, but do understand, I am a part time writer who tries his best. Also, ofc Izuku's gonna be OOC, he's got a completely different outlook on life, and the world changes in accordance.


Chapter Two: Wrecked And Worried

Izuku wiped his tears away and looked up at his blonde hero. He slowly stood, chuckling internally that he was nearly the same height as All-Might's True form.

"Well kid—"

"Izuku, Izuku Midoriya." Izuku cut in, smiling as he realized this was real. All-Might was taking him in as his apprentice, his mom—His Mom?!

"W-wait All-Might, I have to make sure my mother's okay with this!" The green haired boy said, not noting All-Might's unsure look.

"Well… are you sure about this Midoriya? Your mother may not approve…" All-Might said, knowing how protective the mothers of Quirkless kids could be. Izuku gave All-Might a big smile as he dialed his Mom's number on his phone.

"Don't worry. My mom's super nice. And, you're just in time for dinner. Okaa-san! Could you set an extra place for dinner tonight? I'm bringing home a special guest!" Izuku said, smiling as he shut the phone.

"How much time do you have left in your Muscle Form?" Izuku asked, looking over to the Pro-Hero. All-Might made a thoughtful face before giving a smile and a thumb up.

"I'm fully charged, 3 hours ready and raring to go." He said, transforming and picking up Midoriya.

"Point the way, Young Midoriya!" All-Might laughed as he took off in leaps and bounds, his newfound apprentance under his arm.


Inko hummed to herself as she set a third plate of food for her son's mystery guest. She had been so worried when she saw what happened on TV, she was relived when she heard not only Midoriya was alright, but that he had a friend. She wondered if Bakugo was being grateful and maybe this was—an explosion rocked her location, emanating from her front door and breaking her concentration.

"All-Might! That landing was way too hard! You better tell the landlord what happened, so he doesn't reach down me and my mother's neck!" came Izuku's voice from behind the door. The sound of embarrassed laughter followed.

"Sorry Young Midoriya, my mistake. I will make sure to do that." Came the voice of the Symbol of Peace. All the blood drained from Inko's face. All-Might?! That's who Izuku brought to dinner! ALL-MIGHT, THE SYMBOL OF PEACE. Inko was sure she was gonna faint when Izuku opened the door, revealing it was in fact who was there.

"Okaa-san! I'm sure you recognize All-Might!" Izuku said, clearly noting the panic on his mother's face. All-Might smiled nervously, leaning down to Izuku.

"Young Midoriya, I believe we shell shocked her." All-Might said, sounding a little guilty. Izuku looked up with a glare.

"We? Mr. Specializing-In-Crash-Landings? You scared the crap out of her!" Izuku said, shutting the door behind the titan. All-Might scratched the back of his head with a embarrassed chuckle.

"Fair enough. My apologies Mrs. Midoriya, I didn't mean to scare you." All-Might said, bringing the attention back to Inko who blushed.

"I-it's alright! I'm just honored to have the world's Number One hero in my home." She said, offering a courtesy. All-Might reciprocated with a bow. Izuku couldn't help but chuckled at how both of them are huge dorks…which gave him an idea for later. All three of them sat at the table, and All-Might was a little taken aback as he watched the mother and son tore into their food with a relish, both enjoying the carb rich meal. All-Might smiled, it was almost like a family dinner. After the three were done, Izuku turned to All-Might and they nodded simultaneously.

"Okaa-san. Me and All-Might need to talk to you about something." Izuku said, his serious tone, catching his mother's attention immediately. She turned to All-Might and Izuku.

"What is it sweetie?" She asked, sweet as can be. All-Might took the initiative.

"To put it simply Ma'am, I'd like your permission to take Izuku on as my apprentice. He reminded me of what it takes to be a hero. So I want to train him to be the next Symbol of Peace. I will transfer him my Quirk, allowing him to fight as I do." He said, Izuku looking up in surprise, not expecting All-Might to admit that. All-Might would never admit it to Izuku, but his mother was the most comforting human being he had ever had the pleasure of being around, he felt very safe near her. Izuku and All-Might's eyes widened as steam started to waft off of the Number One Hero.

"I thought you said you had the full three hours!" Izuku said in panic. All-Might's eyes widened as he looked down at the billowing steam.

"So, did I—" All-Might said before the bluster of steam cut him off showing his true form to Inko.

"Oh…All-Might, is that you?" Inko asked, worry seeping in her voice. All-Might and Izuku sighed and told Inko the whole story about the injury and posturing. Inko nodded along, an understanding smile plastered on her face as the two explained.

"So… you're going to make Izuku… my little Izuku in to the next Symbol of Peace?" She asked softly, her eyes watering. All-Might nodded, prepared for an objection, only to jump in shock as Inko took his hands, a watery smile adorning her face.

"T-thank you so much All-Might… You've always been a huge inspiration for both me and Izuku, your words of encouragement have driven him to greater and greater heights. I can't thank you enough." Inko said, crying softly. All-Might smiled, placing one of his hands atop hers.

"Toshinori." Inko and Izuku both looked up so quickly, one would swear their necks crack. Toshinori's eyes were watering, he couldn't remember a time he felt more at home.

"Very well, Toshinori, know you're always welcome in our home." Inko said, smiling widely as Izuku grabbed them both in a group hug.


*10 Months Later*

Izuku ducked under a punch from Muscle Form All-Might before throwing a return one at All-Might's elbow, leaving no mark, but the idea filling both fighter's minds with a grimace.

"Good swing Young Midoriya. If it was anyone else, ouch. You've passed nearly every test I have. And tomorrow is the practical exam for U.A.. The last test is as follows." All-Might said, plucking a hair from his head.

"Eat this!" Izuku looked at his mentor incredulously. His eyes flicked between the hair and All-Might's massive smile.

"What…?" Izuku asked, taking the strand of hair. All-Might nodded the green haired boy onward. Izuku gulped and took the hair and gulped it down, taking All-Might's offered glass of water to make sure the hair went down.

"There, with the transfer of DNA and the want to pass it on. You, Izuku Midoriya, have inherited One for All! The mystical Quirk that increases in strength with each new generation it's passed down to." All-Might gave a salute to his young apprentice with a smile. Izuku smiled and saluted back, feeling a kindred connection to All-Might.

The next day was hectic for Izuku, his heart beating as he walked up to U.A. High school. As he walked he heard a familiar clomping, only to turn and see Bakugo stomping down the walk way.

"Hey! They don't let Quirkless losers in here, piss of Deku!" Bakugo barked. Izuku smirked.

"Actually Bakugo, that policy was lifted due to the fact it was considered discriminatory. But that's irrelevant. I told you I'm gonna be the Number One Hero, so go fuck yourself napalm breath." Izuku said, a grin on his face. Bakugo growled and stomped off, fuming softly. Izuku could help but feel good, so good in fact, he didn't note the rock he tripped over.

'Welp. This is gonna—' Izuku's mental monologue was cut off by the sudden release of gravity. Turning to his right, Midoriya could almost swear his heart stopped. Standing beside him was the human embodiment of a ray of sunshine.

"Oh gosh, are you alright? That was a pretty nasty spill!" said the pretty brunette standing next to him. Izuku blushed and coughed.

"Well, thanks to you I'm a-okay! I'll assume this is your Quirk? Anti-gravity or telekinesis?" Izuku asked, flipping himself in the suspension so he was looking as if he was hanging in a hammock, which elicited a giggle from the brunette.

"Anti-gravity! My name's Ochako Uraraka. What's yours?" She asked, smiling, enjoying the green haired boy's attitude.

"Name's Izuku Midoriya, it's great to meet you Uraraka! Mind putting me down?" Izuku asked, rotating himself to a standing position. Uraraka said and chuckled as she released her Quirk, Izuku catching himself as he dropped.

"Well, good luck on the exam Izuku, I hope to see you at school!" She said heading inside as they hear the five-minute warning bell go off. Izuku smiled and picked up his bag as she ran off.

"Man she's cute…crap! I'm gonna be late!"

Izuku wasn't late. However, he was seated next to Bakugo for the introductory ceremony. Izuku decided to tune out Bakugo as he scanned the crowd for Uraraka, but not seeing her. He stopped as the lights dimmed, and a man stepped onto the stage. The blond man wore a leather jacket, jeans, and a strange device on his neck. Everyone one recognized this man as the Vocal Hero, Present Mic.

"Greeting students~! Can I get a what's up?!" He asked with massive enthusiasm. Izuku looked around and saw that no one responded, so he stood up and gave Present Mic exactly what he wanted.

"What's up!" Izuku called in response, Present Mic smiled pleasantly, giving a thumb up in Izuku's direction.

"Thank you! For those of you who don't know, I am Present Mic! One of the teachers here at U.A. High school! That's right! For those of you who may have been unaware, hero courses are taught by Pro-Heroes! Now, let's get down to business!' Present Mic went on with explaining the practical exam.

"Deku… why the hell are you even here…?" Bakugo growled. Izuku looked at him with a side eye.

"I'm here to take a test, now shut up napalm breath." Izuku whispered back, listening. He looked between the paper they were given before raising his hand.

"Yes… Midoriya, Izuku! What?! Is your question?" Present Mic asked, in his announcer style. Izuku pointed to the fourth silhouette that was not shown on the screen behind the presenting pro.

"You mentioned four enemy types and only covered three. What is the fourth?" Izuku asked. Present Mic snapped and grinned.

"Fantastic question! The fourth enemy type is worth a whopping ZERO points! Think of it more as an obstacle rather than a target. Now, as the great hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said… 'True heroism being superior to the ills of life.' PLUS ULTRA! Break a leg everyone!" He said, the students heading to their assigned testing grounds. As walked there, Izuku saw Uraraka.

"Hey! Uraraka! Izuku said, walking up to her, she turned and smiled widely, waving the green haired teen over to where she was.

"Izuku, good to see ya! You ready for this?" Uraraka asked, her nervousness hidden behind a tomboy-esque demeanor. Izuku chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm ready to blow some bots outta this world." Izuku said, reaching down and pulling up some of One For All, causing a soft, swirling wind to billow about him, drawing the attention of a few of the other examinees.

"Wow Izuku! Is your Quirk Aerokinesis?" Uraraka asked. Izuku chuckled.

"Nah, this just happens when I start up my Quirk, it'll calm down in a minute." He said, and true to his word, the wind died down.

"Excuse me, Midoriya was it? I would politely ask if you did not bother your fellow examinees with such brash displays." Said the much taller, stocky bluenette male who suddenly appeared behind Izuku. Izuku smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, didn't mean to bother anyone." He said, the taller student nodded.

"Well… that's fine, just try to be more careful. By the way, my name is Tenya Iida. It's nice to see someone who beats me to a question." He said, chuckling as he extended a hand. Izuku smiled and shook it.

"Nice to meet you Iida." As Izuku said this, the alarm went off and the gates opened, allowing the students inside. Izuku shot off like a rocket, leaving a crater between Iida and Uraraka who looked at each other in shock.

"Woah…" They said in unison before getting back to reality and taking off themselves.

Izuku grinned as he slammed another robot into the ground, turning them to scrap. It was invigorating! He and All-Might had surmised that he could currently access 20% of One For All safely, allowing him to slam his fists with reckless abandon into the machines, the force of the blows protecting his hands from damage. However, as he traveled through the training grounds he found himself falling behind as he noticed a running theme with most of the other students. They were stealing kills from other students, something Izuku wouldn't stoop too. As the timer wound down the students stopped as a massive rumbling tore through some buildings, revealing a massive machine with the numbers "04" emblazoned on it.

"That must be the obstacle one. Shit, I gotta—" Izuku stopped cold. He barely heard it over the din of battle and the machine, but it was clearly there. A voice, calling for help. He turned and saw Uraraka trapped under rubble. Izuku turned on a dime and blasted One For All into his legs as he blasted past Iida.

"Midoriya! What are you doing?!" He called after the green haired boy. Izuku couldn't hear him. He couldn't hear anything besides the blood pounding in his ears. He launched himself into the air and could feel the wind from All For One's 60% tearing his shirt off as he slammed his fist into the face of the machine.

"SMASH-RASEN" Izuku roared as he twisted his fist in the punch sending the robot's head spiraling backwards, the body also falling back. Izuku looked at his arm, which was a little bruised, but otherwise fine as he landed. He reached down and tossed the rock on top of Uraraka through a building before realizing he was still running at 60%, and quickly dialed it back to 20%.

"You alright?" He asked softly, picking her up. He noticed her wince as she stood, seeing the strange angle her leg was at. Izuku quickly scooped Uraraka up bridal style as he walked towards the door. Uraraka couldn't help but blush as she could both feel and see Izuku's muscular body.

'Oh god… He's hot! Oh gosh, I just thought he was cute and funny, but Izuku's ripped! Why is a teenager allowed to be this hunky?! I think I'm gonna faint.' Were the thoughts running through Uraraka's blushing head. Izuku kindly chose to ignore her clear embarrassment as he noted a familiar elderly woman approaching them.

"Oh! You're the Youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl!" He said with a grin. The elderly woman nodded.

"That's right young man! Would you be a dear and set the young girl's leg for me?" She asked. Izuku nodded and sat Uraraka on a nearby boulder.

"Here, bite on this." Izuku said, offering the brunette a remnant of his sleeve tied into a knot. Uraraka nodded and closed her eyes as she saw Izuku grab her broken leg. With a SNAP and a muffled scream from Uraraka, her leg was set back to normal. Recovery Girl pressed her lips to it and instant relief shot through Uraraka's broken leg as it was nearly instantly healed.

"Do you need healing boy?" Recovery Girl asked. Izuku smiled and waved Recovery Girl off.

"Nah, I've just got a few bruises. I'll be fine in a day or so." Izuku said, flexing his hand to minimal pain. Recovery Girl nodded and went off to check on other students. Uraraka looked at Izuku with a strange feeling welling up in her chest. She quickly quelled it, but she kept in on her mind.

"Welp, ready to head out?" He asked, offering his hand to Uraraka. The brunette blushed brightly, turning her head to the side in embarrassment as she took the boy's hand and hopped off the rock. Both took a minute before realizing they were still holding hands, Uraraka pulled her hand away as if it had been burned, her blush extending down her neck. Izuku laughed as they parted ways.


It had been a stressful couple of days for both Izuku and Inko. Neither had heard from All-Might or U.A., and they were pulling their hair out wondering why. Inko was preparing dinner as she saw a letter slide through the mail slot. It was a simple white envelope with the seal of U.A. High. Inko shakily picked it up and walked to Izuku's room. She opened it, welcomed by the noises of a rain filled forest, from a CD Izuku meditated to.

"Okaa-san?" Izuku asked, noting her entrance. She held up the letter with a quivering hand. Izuku took the latter and quickly sat at his desk. Inko pulled up the extra chair in Izuku's room and sat next to him. Both looked at the letter with baited breath before Izuku grapped it and tore it open, a metal disk clattering onto the desk. They both looked at it with confusion before it turned on, projecting a holographic image before them.

"I AM HERE AS A PROJECTION!" came All-Might's voice loudly from the projection. The massive pro was dressed in a yellow pinstripe suit and standing on a stage that looks like it was designed as a game show.

"Toshinori?! I thought this was from U.A.?" Inko asked in confusion, not complaining that Toshinori cleaned up as well as he did.

"I must explain Midoriya. I was in town as I accepted a job offer from U.A.," All-Might continued. Inko and Izuku looked at each other.

"All-Might…as a teacher?" They both said, imagining the humorous scene that would entail.

"I regret to inform you Midoriya, but you did not garner enough points by defeating robots in the practical exam." Inko's face paled, she slowly turned to Izuku, her heart broken as she saw the look on Izuku's face.

"However! That was not the only way to earn points in the practical exam!" All-Might continued, a smile still plastered on his face. Izuku and Inko's eyes widened and filled with hope. All-Might held up a remote and gestured to the screen behind him.

"Before I elaborate, please look at this!" He said, before clicking a button. An image of Uraraka appearing on screen.

"Uraraka?" Izuku whisper, Inko smirking as she saw the blush creep up on her son's face.

"A friend of yours Izuku?" Inko asked with a teasing tone. Izuku blushed and laughed nervously. They both watched as Uraraka walked up to Present Mic.

"Excuse me, Present Mic? The green haired boy with freckles, Izuku, is there anyway I could transfer some of my points to him? I heard him muttering to himself about barely having ten points, and I realized that he wouldn't be able to pass without more…. And well… he lost those points because of me! He saved me from the 04-Machine!" Uraraka said, blushing softly. Izuku could easily feel the blush creeping up on his face and the look his Mom was giving him.

"Look at that! Your actions inspired others to act on your behalf! And, the practical exam isn't based on combat prowess alone! What kind of Hero course would U.A. have if it turned away those who choose to save others over fighting for glory? My boy, the test also has RESCUE POINTS!" All-Might said, the screen changing to show Izuku's points.

"Midoriya, Izuku! Ten Villian Points! Eighty Rescue Points! Placing you as the top rated examinee! Congratulations Izuku. Both you and Uraraka pass. Come, young Midoriya. This is your Hero Acadamia!"
