Author's Note: Hi everyone, Fire Slash here and welcome to the next chapter of 'Immortality Sucks.' Before we begin, I want to thank all of you who took the time to read and show support for this fic. It means a lot to me. Now, pairing are still up for suggestion, so let me know who you want Izuku to end up with (it's between Tsuyu, Ochako, and Yui. Currently, Yui is in the lead with Tsuyu taking second place. Currently, I'm not counting the polls due to me wanting to check something out before I do.

Oh, and if you haven't, you should follow my IG account (fire_slash_fanfiction) if you haven't. I post when I plan on updating stories there and it's the best way to reach me.

Well, I've said all that I wanted to, so let's get right into the story. Review and enjoy :-)

Death Journal #50, Entry #2:

Number of deaths: 10

Most common causes of deaths: Crushed by enormous object

First Quirk: Diamond Eyes- turns the user's eyes into diamonds, protecting them from harm. Blurs vision. Usefulness- low. Method gained- shot in the eye by a bb gun set to a non-lethal setting (how that happened, I really don't know. Probably my crap luck).

Second quirk: Infinite Breath- allows the user to hold their breath indefinitely. Usefulness- Niche, but useful. Method gained- Snapped my neck. Have had this quirk before (see Death Journal #45 (entry #243))

…

Fourth Quirk: Heightened Endurance (low level)- grants the user an increased level of endurance. Usefulness- high. Method gained- leapt to my death off a twelve story building. Have gained this quirk before at various levels (too many to list here as this is one of my most common quirks).

Fifth Quirk: Human Pancake: makes it so that the user can transform into some sort of human dough granting me immense durability (limit unknown, but could survive getting crushed by a multi-ton zero pointer from U.A's exam). Cannot move while in dough form, so it's only useful in single combat. Usefulness- niche, but highly effective. Method gained- crushed by zero-pointer in U.A. Related to Elasticity and Rubber Suit quirks (the amount of variants of this quirk is too many to list here as they are numerous).

…

Tenth Quirk: Growth (high level)- allows the user to grow to monstrous heights, whether it be a single part or their entire body. Method gained- crushed by zero-pointer in U.A. Usefulness- very. Have had this quirk before, but at different intensities (see Death Journal #3 (entry #123), Death Journal #5 (entry # 20 and 343), Death Journal #11 (entry #15, 69, and 700), Death Journal #24 (entry #56, 798, and 2345), and Death Journal #42 (entry #36)).

"Izuku, it's here!"

Blinking, the young immortal saw his mother scurrying towards him, an envelope in hand. Eyeing it, he noticed that it was sent to him by U.A.

Two weeks had passed since he took the exam, so he had been expecting the letter. While most would be nervous about receiving their results, Izuku didn't waste energy on doing so, deciding that he had more important things to do, like playing vigilante.

"Thanks mom." Taking the envelope from his mother, Izuku ran up to his room and closed the door. Opening the envelope, he was confused to see that some sort of circular machine was inside instead of a standard letter. Touching the device, his confusion turned to one of surprise when a hologram began to appear, displaying an image of the current number one hero.

"I AM HERE AS A PROJECTION!"

"All Might's working at U.A?" Izuku asked himself, seeing no other reason as to why the hero was on the recordings instead of the principal. Izuku wasn't going to lie, the idea of All Might working at U.A was something which excited him. All Might was his favorite hero after all. Being taught by him was something that made his inner hero-nerd squeal. Thankfully, he managed to hold in his excitement.

"It says here that you managed to pass the written portion of the exam and received a whopping total of sixty villain points on the physical portion, which is enough to pass! In fact, you've earned the second most points out of everyone taking the test this year!"

Izuku smiled at his accomplishment. He didn't expect to take the number two spot.

"However, that is not all!" The projection continued, turning his pride into confusion. "You see, the test was designed to help us look for those we think could be the best possible heroes! During the exam, we noticed that you've chosen to aid your competition at numerous points."

The hologram briefly showed all of Izuku's saves, that is, except for the part where he rescued Ochako from the zero-pointer.

"This earned you a total of ten hero points, boosting your score to seventy. HOWEVER, there's even more! How can we ignore the stunt you pulled with the zero pointer…"

The hologram then shifted to an image of the brunette he saved speaking to Present Mic.

"Uh, excuse me, but I have a question about the test…"

"Sure! Ask away, little listener!"

"Well, during the test, a green haired boy saved me from the zero-pointer that was about to crush me. I would've been dead if it wasn't for him, so if possible, if he didn't get enough points to pass, could you please give him some of mine. He deserves to go here!"

"HAHAHAHAH! Don't you worry, he'll be fine," Present Mic informed her. It was then that the hologram shifted back to All Might.

"How could we ignore what you have done? Not only did you save her, but you made sure to do it in a manner which caused the least amount of destruction. For this, you have received seventy extra hero points and the girl you saved earned forty hero points!" The hologram's image shifted again to show a chart of the top ten highest scoring participants. Highlighted on it was the girl he saved and his own. With the hero points, he actually ended up scoring one hundred forty points, putting him in first place by quite a margen. Second place had nothing on him. "Come young Midoryia, this is your Hero Academia now…"

Izuku smiled, glad his hard work and his endurance of numerous deaths paid off.

"THIS HOLOGRAM WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 3...2…" His eyes widening, Izuku jumped back, making sure to put some distance between him and the hologram. "...1."

*BOOM!*

The hologram exploded into a pile of smoke, much to the annoyance of Izuku. Opening his window, he allowed the smoke to air out of his room.

"Yeah, not dying by smoke again today…"

0000

"Excuse me! I ask that you take your feet off the desk this instant! It is extremely disrespectful to those who took the time to create it!"

"Pfft. Don't tell me what to do you filthy side character! Who the hell are you anyways?"

"My name is Tenya Iida and I come from Somei Private Academy…"

"Somei? So you're some damn elitist? I'm going to enjoy crushing you."

"Crush?! You wish to become a hero with that attitude?"

Izuku silently grunted in annoyance at the scene unfolding in front of him. Not only had it revealed to him that he'd be spending three more years of his life with Katsuki (well, he should've expected this to happen since there are only two freshmen classes in U.A that are a part of the heroics department), but Izuku did not like loud noises. Call him a grump, but he liked to hear himself think.

Rolling his eyes, the boy took a seat at one of the desks in front of the classroom. He then began staring into space, attempting to mentally prepare himself for his first day at U.A.

"You are the boy who took out the zero pointer and saved that girl, correct?"

Sadly, it seems he won't have the luxury to do so. Turning his head to the right, he saw a formal boy standing to his right. Based on his voice, Izuku could tell he was the one who had chewed out Katsuki a few seconds ago.

Ignoring Katsuki's loud mumbles about he got 'fucking lucky,' the green haired boy raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out what this boy wanted from him. "Yes?"

"Great! I must admit, I was quite surprised to see you managed to quickly deduce the hidden portion of the exam, something not even I could get. My name is Tenya Iida and I look forward to spending my next three academic years with you."

Huh, he didn't expect this. Constantly dying had turned him cynical; add having no friends and being constantly bullied to the list and Izuku was very apprehensive when it came to strangers complimenting him. The only time someone besides his parents treated him with an ounce of respect was when they wanted something from him.

For now, Izuku would play along. No need to make an ass of himself on the first day. "Izuku Midoriya. I didn't know about the hidden portion. The only thing I saw was that someone was about to die."

"I see… then you certainly deserve to be a hero," Tenya declared. "Very well then! I shall follow your example this day forth so I may call myself a hero someday as well, though surely you jest when you say that she was going to die. The tests are designed to be non-lethal to all applicants."

"Anything can be lethal," Izuku ominously warned the boy. "Just because something's meant to be safe doesn't always mean it is. Accidents happen all the time."

Tenya shuddered at this all while unknown to him, a man in a sleeping bag began inching his way behind the teacher's desk, said man being Shota Aizawa.

'The kid's got a good head on him,' Shota noted to himself, having heard the conversation. 'But the way he said it was unnerving. It's as if he knew that the girl actually would've died if he didn't step in. Did he notice something we didn't?' Shota then noticed that the boy was eyeing him from the corner of his eye. Hardly anyone noticed him whenever he did this, so he was willing to admit he was a bit impressed. 'He'll definitely be an interesting kid, if not a bit of a problem child.'

'Is that Eraserhead?' Izuku asked himself, his enhanced hero encyclopedia knowledge kicking in. 'Last time I checked, he's an underground hero who hates attention, so why's he teaching? This is the last job someone like him would seem to be interested in…'

"Hey! Green hair… you're the boy that saved me!" Turning their attention towards the door, the two teens noticed the girl Izuku had helped enter the room. "Wow, I can't believe we're in the same class. Thank you for saving me… Izuku Midoriya, right?"

"Yeah," Izuku responded, analyzing the girl. She, like Tenya, seemed nice enough, but he would still keep his guard up around them. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but was your name Ochako Uraraka?"

"Yep!"

"Well, I'd love to talk to you more, but I think our teacher's waiting for us to quiet down."

"Teacher? What are you talking about?" Tenya asked, his loud voice catching the attention of all his classmates. It was then that everyone noticed Shota, the man having stepped out of his bag.

"Only one of you noticed… I'm a bit disappointed in those who didn't," Shota spoke, the class quieting down upon hearing his voice. "Part of being a hero is being alert. If I were a villain, everyone here but Midoriya would be dead. Anyways, I'm wasting enough time as it is. I'll make this quick, I'm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher. Understood?"

"Yes sensei!" Tenya diligently shouted as everyone looked at the strange man.

"Good. I'll be handing out your P.E uniforms. Go get changed and meet me at the back field. Just because it's your first day doesn't mean you don't have to work."

0000

"You managed to get her under two minutes…" Shota told Izuku as the two stood outside, waiting for the rest of the boy's classmates. "Not bad."

"I just changed while heading over here," Izuku admitted as he glanced around the field. He never liked being in the locker rooms back in middle school, so whenever it was time for gym class, he'd change while walking. This was actually something he incorporated during his vigilante work. Heroes needed to be quick to react to the unexpected after all. "What're we doing?"

"I'll explain once everyone gets here," Shota said. The two stood in awkward silence until everyone else arrived.

"Hmph, you all made it here in eight minutes…" Shota said, giving the rest of the class a disappointed look once everyone made it to the field. "We'll work on that. Now, the reason I brought you all out here is for a quirk assessment test."

"A quirk assessment test?" Ochako asked, tilting her head in confusion.

Shota simply nodded in response. "Yes. You've all had basic physical assessment tests back in elementary school, correct? These are nearly the same." Holding out a ball, the man looked at Izuku. "Midoriya, you've placed first on the exam. What's your softball throw record?"

"Around sixty meters," Izuku replied with a shrug.

"Alright, now try with your quirk."

'Well, I'm not killing myself to pass this test,' Izuku mentally thought to himself, the quirk-assessment exam presenting itself as an obstacle to the boy. 'So I'll just take it quirkless. As long as I don't come in last, I'll be fine.'

Doing as he was told, Izuku tossed the ball, getting it sixty two meters away from himself. Facing his teacher, Izuku began explaining why he didn't use his quirk. "My quirk's called 'Random.' It gives me a random quirk at random moments. It didn't give me one right now."

"Hm… a quirk like that seems like it'll be a liability more than helpful," Shota explained. He already knew about the boy's quirk, but he wanted to test him. "Tell me why I shouldn't expell you."

"Expel him? Can he really do that?"

Izuku paid the murmurs of his classmates no mind as he stared at his teacher unflinchingly. "It takes more than a good quirk to be a hero. Yes, it makes it easier, but what good is a quirk when you can't do anything without it? I'm no one trick pony. I can promise you that I won't be getting last on this exam, that is, if you'll let me take it. If you want to expel me right now, go ahead, nothing's stopping you. I'll still be a hero. U.A may be the best path to my dream, but it's not the only one."

Shota couldn't help but smirk at the boy. Izuku knew that no singular aspect makes up a hero. They needed to be well-rounded. He also wasn't willing to give up when a situation gets rough. Facing the rest of the class, Shota began addressing them. "Midoriya's correct. While these tests will be judging the limits of your quirks, they'll also be testing if you can function without them when they can't aid you. No good hero relies only on their quirk and if you can't realize this, then you don't deserve to be here. Let me motivate you a bit, anyone who I deem to have no potential will get expelled, is that clear?"

"Expelled? But we just got here! That's so unfair!" a short boy with grape looking hair, Minoru Mineta, complained.

Everyone else began complaining as well, not liking the fact that people could be expelled on the first day. Shota was about to tell them to be quiet, but the sound of someone laughing caused everyone to quiet down.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Stares of confusion and fear were being thrown at Izuku. Even Shota was a bit unnerved by his sudden outburst.

Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Izuku gave them an apologetic bow. "Sorry, but this is all too funny to me."

"I don't see how this situation is humorous to you," A black haired girl, Momo Yaoyorozu stated, eying the boy critically, as if she was trying to analyze his very being.

"It's just… in this scenario, no one cares about what you all think," Izuku bluntly told them. Before anyone could reply, Izuku continued. "It's kinda selfish actually if you think this is 'unfair.' You want 'unfair?' Go meet a quirkless kid or someone with a quirk that doesn't give them an offensive advantage in a fight. They have to work twice as hard as us, and they'd be willing to put that work in if it wasn't for the fact society prevents them from being heroes. Just look at the entrance exam. It's tailored towards those who can cause mass destruction. There's also the fact that villains are willing to go to extremes you can't even imagine to win. If the only thing stopping them is a hero, they'll rip you in half in a heartbeat. All those civilians you were charged with rescuing… are now gutted on the floor due to your blunder. One false move is all it takes for you to fail and that's not 'fair' for both you and the people you're protecting. You must be willing to do whatever it takes to save people if you want to be a hero, even if it destroys you physically and mentally. You are all gifted with incredible quirks, but if you aren't willing to use them to rise up to the task, lack the skills to do so, or simply don't have the personality to be an effective hero, you'll just get someone killed. You either have the drive to be a hero or don't. If that isn't 'fair,' then just piss off."

"..."

No one really knew how to react to Izuku's explanation. Even Shota was stunned. The passion behind the boy's words made him believe more in the idea that Izuku has fought his fair share of battles, causing him to see things no kid his age should ever have to. How many has he seen die? How many situations has he been in that only his actions can determine the fate of others? Based on his tone, Izuku seemed well acquainted with failure, but has he ever failed to rescue someone in time? He'll have to ask him sometime in the future.

Not wanting to waste more time, Shota let out a fake cough, grabbing everyone's attention. "Again, he's right. If you don't have the mindset of a hero, there's no reason for me to let you become one. C'mon, we're wasting time, let's get to it."

0000

The exercises were simple, consisting of the softball throw, a 50 meter dash, a test of grip strength, a long jump, and a side stepping test. Thankfully, due to all the training he's done, Izuku was able to keep his word and avoid coming in last on any of the tests.

Once all the tests were done, Aizawa began to address his class. "With that out of the way, it's time to reveal the results of the test."

With the press of a button, everyone's results and rankings were put on full display. Some were pleased with their score while others were not. In Minoru's case, he was tearing up as he found himself at the bottom of the pack despite his fantastic score on the repeated side step test. He already knew that there's a high chance of him being expelled seeing as he was at the bottom of the pack. As for Izuku, he was satisfied with his score. He ended up in tenth place, which was pretty good. It wasn't like these tests determined how well of a hero you were.

As everyone continued reacting to their scores, Aizawa let loose a small cough, grabbing everyone's attention. "Now if you're all done comparing scores, I have an announcement to make. As I said before, if I deem anyone to have no potential during these tests, I'll expel you. However, since all of you seem to be at least somewhat competent, I'm not expelling anyone today."

"OH THANK GOD!" Minoru joyfully cried out, all his worries dissipating.

"Now go get changed. Your next class starts in ten minutes."

0000

The rest of the day came and went by quickly. After the quirk assessment exam, nothing of interest happened other than seeing which pro heroes would be teaching what class. Being the superhero fanboy he is, Izuku was practically in heaven, having a chance to meet some of his favorite heroes up close. If it wasn't for the fact that he had some self control, the boy would either be mumbling facts about his teachers to himself or he'd be asking them twenty million questions.

Eventually, class 1-A found themselves waiting for their last class to start, it being the mandatory hero's basics course. Surprisingly, no one knew which hero would be teaching this class, well that is, except for Izuku. Such remained a mystery until said teacher ended up bursting through the door, making a memorable entrance.

"I AM...COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE AN ORDINARY PERSON!" The booming voice of their teacher shouted as he entered the door. With the hero's bulging muscles and his costume, there was no mistaking his identity: he was the number one hero All Might. Seeing the legendary hero in person, everyone began getting excited.

"Is that really All Might?"

"That's definitely his silver age costume!"

It took Izuku all he had to not ask for All Might's autograph right then and there. Thankfully, he would be here all year, so Izuku will get a chance to do so later.

"Settle down everyone!" All Might said, silencing everyone. "Yes, the rumors are true! I, All Might, will be teaching the hero's basics course here at U.A! Today, we'll be going over combat training! However, such training must be done with style! Your hero costumes are labeled with the same number as your seats. Put them on and meet me at Ground Beta! PLUS ULTRA!"

Wasting no time, everyone began grabbing their costumes and prepared for the lesson.

0000

Glancing at his costume, Izuku smiled. His costume was simply an upgraded version of his vigilante costume, the only difference being that his current costume was fireproof and came with a respirator. However, it was the equipment that he was most excited about. Instead of cheap metal marbles, Izuku was now armed with small green throwing disks, some of them having special effects. Some of them exploded, some of them functioned as flashbangs, some made smokescreens, and some shot out currents of electricity meant to paralyze the opponent. In addition, he had a retractable staff which with a press of a button became a bow. On his back was a quiver filled with arrows, his assortment of ammo being similar to that of his disks except it also came with a few arrows covered with boxing gloves… yeah, don't ask.

Of course, each of his gear was set to non-lethal for the exercise, but he could still request to use the lethal versions when practicing on his own. He was definitely going to be checking out his costume daily for his vigilante work from now on, especially when the support course was going to be refilling his ammo.

Eventually done with admiring his costume, Izuku began leaving the changing room.

0000

"Alright, as you all know, being a hero often means you'll be fighting bad guys!" All Might explained once everyone was in costume. "As such, you'll need to learn to defend yourselves. I've split you all into ten teams of two. Two teams will go head to head at a time, one serving as the heroes and one serving as the villains. The villains will be in charge of safeguarding a bomb inside a building. The heroes on the other hand will need to retrieve said bomb before the timer runs out. Any questions?"

"Can I blow everyone up?"

"How do the heroes retrieve the bomb?"

"Are we going to get expelled like with Aizawa sensei?"

"How will teams be chosen?"

"Isn't this cape fantastic?"

"Hold it! To retrieve the bombs, all the heroes need to do is touch it," All Might said before holding up a large strip capture tape. "Both the heroes and villains will be getting these strips of tape. Tie them around your opponent and they'll be eliminated from the battle. Also, no one's getting expelled."

Everyone but Izuku released a sigh of relief at the fact no one was being expelled.

"Teams will be chosen through a lottery!" All Might continued, pointing at a computer behind him with all the student's names listed. Pressing a button, the computer began shuffling the teams. Once it finished, Izuku immediately looked at the listing, hoping that he wouldn't be partnered with Katsuki. He ended up lucking out in terms of partners though, Ochako being his partner instead.

"Wow, we're on the same team. It must be fate! I'll be counting on you."

'I wouldn't call it fate…' Izuku thought to himself. Instead of saying this out loud, he simply gave the girl a nod, pleasing her. Glancing over, he noticed that Katsuki was paired up with Tenya. Poor guy. He had to deal with his shenanigans…

"Now that teams have been made, it's time to see which ones will go head to head!" Pressing the button again, All Might had the computer randomize the matches. When Izuku saw who he was up against, he sighed. He was going up against Katsuki, the boy giving him a sinister look upon seeing the lineups, and their match was first.

'Let's get this over with...'

0000

Once the matches were determined, the first one began. The villains had a ten minute head start to come up with a plan, something which Tenya wanted to use.

"The bomb's paper mache, so that's a relief. All right, here's what I think we should-" Tenya began speaking, only for Katsuki to cut him off.

"I don't give a shit about what you think. I'm going after Deku."

"And leave the bomb unguarded? That seems like a horrible plan."

"You'll be here to guard it, won't you dumbass?"

"Going in without a plan will only lead to failure. Teamwork here is import-"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!"

Meanwhile, as the 'villains' were doing their thing, Izuku and Ochako were outside the building, trying their best to come up with a plan. Well, Izuku was the one making a plan.

"Bakugo will be coming after me. While I hold him off, go for Iida, he'll probably be watching over the bomb."

"You can't face that guy alone!" The girl exclaimed, not liking the idea of separation. "He's mean, aggressive, and unpredictable! There's no telling what he's going to do to you."

"Tch, trust me, he's far from unpredictable." to the untrained eye, Katsuki would appear to be unpredictable, his fighting instinct being admirable. To a highly trained fighter however, they'd realize the boy's moves could easily be manipulated. He lacked variety, utilizing the same moves over and over, only changing his movements ever so slightly. Having seen the boy in action before, Izuku knew everything he could do and knew for a fact he could take him out in a few moves.

"But what about you?"

"I've been put through worse," Izuku admitted, thinking back to all the times he's died. "I need you to trust me when I say I got this under control."

"...Alright, I trust you. Just promise me that you'll surrender if things get too rough out there, ok?"

"There won't be any need. Oh, and when the time comes, cover your eyes."

"What do you mean?"

"Ten minutes are up! Hero team, you may now search for the bomb!"

Nodding his head, Izuku gave her a small smile. "Let's do this."

0000

Once the announcement was made, Ochako followed her teammate through the building, him serving as her guide. For a while, the two were able to navigate the building without much problem. Unfortunately, all good things must end as after a few minutes, Izuku's eyes widened. Ochako was about to ask him what was wrong when he tackled her to the ground, a large explosion having gone off. Looking up, both teens saw Katsuki in all his glory staring at them, upset his shot had missed.

"I was sure I was going to smash your hea-"

*BOOM!*

As Katsuki began talking, Izuku tossed two flashbangs at the boy, causing him to stumble backwards.

"FUCKING DEKU!"

Wasting no time, Izuku turned his staff into a bow and shot two arrows at Katsuki, one being an explosive tipped arrow and one being another flashbang.

'Bakugo's raw offense and nothing else. He's used to being the first to strike and never had anyone do the same to him. He's stunned, time to end this.'

With Katsuki still blinded, Izuku ran in and delivered a light chop to the boy's neck, causing him to fall to his knees in surprise. From there, Izuku was easily able to grab his capture tape and wrap it around the boy's neck before he could start launching a turrent of explosions.

"KATSUKI BAKUGOU IS ELIMINATED!" The voice of All Might echoed through the intercom. The man never specified how someone had to wrap their opponent in capture tape, something Izuku took advantage of when battling Katsuki. Wrapping anything besides his neck would've taken far too long.

"Wow! That was so cool!" Turning around, Izuku was confused as to why Ochako was still around.

"I thought I told you to get the bomb…"

"Well, I was, but I decided to watch you for a sec to make sure you were ok," Ochako admitted, rubbing her head in embarrassment. In the background, Katsuki was unleashing massive profanities for everyone watching the battle to hear. "You ended up finishing the battle faster than I thought…"

Izuku simply nodded before making his way to the bomb. "Let's go."

0000

It didn't take long for the two to find Tenya and the bomb, both being on the fourth floor. The boy's loud nature was working against him.

"Mwahahahaha!" Tenya laughed in a theatrical manner. "You are no match for the evil I possess! Hm… I think it could use some improvement. I must really act like a villain if I wish to succeed in this trial."

"Pft!" Ochako had to hold in her laughter. Thankfully, the two were far away enough so that Tenya couldn't hear them. Izuku couldn't lie, hearing the robotic boy try to get into character was amusing, but they had an exercise to win.

"Alright, I'll shoot a flashbang in there and hold him off while you use your quirk to walk on the ceiling and drop on the bomb. His quirk increases his running speed, not his reflexes. That works for you?"

Receiving a nod from the girl, Izuku pulled two arrows from his quiver. Moving towards the door frame, he shot them right at Tenya's feet, blinding him. Utilizing the boy's disorientation to his advantage, Ochako made herself float. Flipping upside-down, the girl began tip-toeing on the ceiling as Izuku pulled out two more arrows and fired them again at Tenya's feet. Instead of flashbangs, this time Izuku used some of his smokescreen arrows, not wanting to blind his ally. Due to Izuku's efforts at blinding him, Tenya wasn't able to notice Ochako, allowing the girl to safely land on her target.

"HERO TEAM WINS!" All Might shouted, signaling the end of the battle trial.

Izuku smiled to himself, happy with his performance. Sadly, that smile turned into a frown when the boy realized that Katsuki won't be taking this loss lightly. His ego had been attacked and he was going to be more violent from now on. Oh well, it's not like he can do much besides accidently killing him again. At this point, Katsuki was simply a minor nuscience…

0000

Author's note 2: Here's Izuku's stats in this fic :-).

Power: 1/5 E (at his base form seeing as he's essentially quirkless. This stat changes depending on the quirk he gets upon resurrecting).

Speed: 4/5 B+ (at his base form. Unlike power, I think that a person's speed can be high without a quirk. Just look at Stain. His quirk does nothing to increase his reaction time yet he's able to outmaneuver those with speed enhancing quirks. This stat changes depending on the quirk he gets upon resurrecting)

Technique: 6/5 S

Intellect: 5/5 A+ (he's smart enough to make a great tactician and has the ability to create some of his gear. He's just not a super-genius like Nezu is)

Cooperation: 5/5 A

Sick of your shit: 6/5 S+
