"So how do you like the uniforms here?"

Kirishima, Midoriya, and Yaoyorozu were fidgeting with their caps. All three of them had hair that didn't quite mesh well with hates. Yaoyorozu enjoyed styling her hair into a rather large ponytail and Kirishima often used an entire tub of gel a week to make his trademark spikes. Midoriya however, had naturally curly hair that never gave him an option to wear a hat.

"Are the hats optional, Inasa? Because I don't think our hairdos are up for this kind of headgear."

"These caps were a part of Shiketsu tradition ever since the inception of this school, Kirishima. Foregoing such an integral part of our uniform would be like not wearing a shirt!"

"So I take it that these are mandatory?"

"You would be right, Yaoyorozu" Inasa's answer made the three of them groan in defeat. They were going to find a way to make their hair work for hats.

"I don't know what you are all complaining about, wearing hats isn't that bad…"

"That's easy for you and Iida to say, Todoroki, you two already have hat hair! Me, Midoriya, and Yaoyorozu have very distinct hairstyles!"

"What are you talking about? I'm fairly sure that Yaoyorozu's ponytail won't hinder hat and all with some modifications to her ponytail and not applying copious amounts of hair gel everyday should save you quite a bit of money. In fact, the only person here who actually might have problems with the hat is Midoriya, whose hair isn't the ideal shape for wearing a hat." Iida refuted Kirishima's claim.

Inasa seemed to be prepared for Iida's observation on his friend's hair. "Ah, don't worry! Nagamasa knows more about hair than anyone. I'm sure he could help you. What do you say Nagamasa?"

"Curly hair is a common problem with people who go here. We should take you shopping to buy the necessary products. Anyone up for it?"

Almost instantly, Camie shot her hand up in the air "Oh, oh! I wanna go out with Deku!" Seiji noticed Midoriya's face turn sour, and he elbowed Inasa in the side to say something. Inasa caught on quickly "Why don't you go with Midoriya, Nagamasa? You're the hair care expert here."

"You sure?"

"Of Course I'm sure! Seiji, Camie, and I will take care of everyone else." At that moment Camie shot Inasa a murderous glare for depriving her alone time with Midoriya "I am so going to stab you" she thought.

Nagamasa took Midoriya to a local shopping centre to buy some hair care products. While they were there, Midoriya deciding to voice his appreciation to his new hairy classmate

"Thanks for coming with me. I don't want to insult you but that classmate you have, Camie is seriously freaking me out!"

"Yeah, we all noticed that she's acting weird."

"I mean, I'm kind of used to fan girls acting crazy around me but I never had someone who also went to a hero school be like this. Usually, my peers treat me pretty normally."

"I find it strange too. You're not the type of guy that she's into. She told us she prefers them "tall, dark and handsome" while you're pretty short. What's weirder is that we all knew about your class from the news and aside from calling you crazy for all the stuff you did she never indicated that she was attracted to you."

"Huh, that's weird…Wait, hold on for a second. I got a text message"

Mom: Sorry for being the bearer of bad news but a couple of friends wanted to get together this Saturday. I know you wanted to visit but I couldn't say no. I hope you're not mad at me…

Midoriya: Of course I'm not mad at you, mom! I hope you all have fun. Don't worry about me, I'll think of something to do.

Midoriya cursed the fact that his girlfriend had other plans for the weekend, namely hanging out with Tooru, and he didn't want to stay at the dorms lest that Camie girl started creeping on him even more. He got another message from All Might that seemed to answer his question.

All Might: Don't forget that Gran Torino lives close by to you. If you have nothing to do on a weekend, you should go train with him. He keeps banging on that he'll get you to use the entirety of One for All way faster than I could.

Midoriya: Thanks All Might, I think I'll take him up on that offer.

All Might: Good, I'll send you his address right now

After giving his mentor a quick thank you, Midoriya apologized for interrupting their conversations by answering text messages. Nagamasa waved off his apologies as nothing to worry about. When asked what the rapid fire texting was all about, Midoriya just said that he was making plans for the weekend.

"Anyway, what should I do to keep my hair in check?"

"Well I'm guessing you don't want to permanently straighten your hair."

"Nope, I like my curls. All I want is to make my straight on school-days so I could wear the uniform cap without it falling off my head.

"Oh that's fine. First you have to wash and condition it hen put some argan oil in your hair. The oil keeps your hair moisturized for the next step. After doing all that just comb your hair as straight as possible and blow dry it. Make sure you divide your hair into specific "sections" and comb and blow dry each "section" thoroughly. Pretty simple, right?"

"That...actually sounds kinda complicated"

"Don't worry, I'll walk you through it."

Inasa ended the tour of the Shiketsu dorms shorty after Nagamasa took Midoriya on a shopping trip. Kirishima asked their tour guide where the weight room was and their conversation snowballed into both of them insisting they could lift more than the other. The two macho men excused themselves and sprinted to the weight room to prove the other wrong leaving Iida and Todoroki alone in the recreation room.

Iida seemed to be grateful to their newly gifted calm and picked up a book to read. Todoroki seemed antsy and started fidgeting around the couch. The fire and ice user looked as if he wanted to ask his friend a question but was too embarrassed to ask.

Without moving his eyes from his book Iida decided to break the tension in the room "Is something troubling you, Todoroki ?"

"Well...I was wondering if you could help me...uh, get to know Yaoyorozu more?"

"Hmph, with the way you're stuttering it looked to me that you were practicing your Midoriya impersonation. But in all seriousness, wouldn't Midoriya or Kirishima give you much better advice than I could? They are in relationships while I am single."

"Yeah, but you know Yaoyorozu more than anyone here. And to be honest, you're basically a guy version of her so…"

"Do you intend to ask me out as a sort of "dry run" Todoroki" Iida chuckled at the absurdity of his joke.

"...well there goes plan A…"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Iida was flabbergasted that his mock idea was something Todoroki actually intended to do and almost hurt his ribs laughing so hard.

"Okay...what do you want me to do?"

"I would suggest that you talk to her, that tends to work out swimmingly."

Todoroki rolled his eyes "why didn't I think of that?"

"Well you did ask for some advice!"

"But I'm not sure if Yaoyorozu thinks of me of anything more than a friend! That's why I turned to you for advice. You and her spent a lot of time together as class reps and I wanted to know if you could tell me more about her."

"Oh! I am fairly certain that she has an admiration towards you."

"Wait, what? How could you let know that?"

"Well for starters Every time she refers to you she always turns away in a futile attempt to hide the blush that stains her cheeks. She always talks about how you helped alleviate some of her anxiety issues during your bout against Aizawa. Whenever I talk about the time I spent with you and Midoriya she inquires if you talked about her. My brother trained me to be more observant but you have to be oblivious to not notice the signs. I really do think you two would look adorable together."

"Wow...thanks for the confidence booster...I didn't know you were so keen on observing people."

"Yaoyorozu also told me she had a crush on you a couple of times…"

"You know you could have lead in with that fact…Anyway, your words are still invaluable. If you ever need any help with wooing someone, I would be happy to offer my limited experience."

Iida chuckled "thank you for the kind offer"

"What sort of girl are you interested in? I'm curious, did you have a crush on anyone from UA?"

Iida shrugged "Not really. I may have had a passing interest in our new classmate, but she seems to be firmly in the Midoriya train. Poor girl, doesn't realize that Midoriya and Ashido are quite happy together."

"I see, what about Camie had you interested?"

"I think I may have overstated my interests towards her. I merely thought she was attractive but her seemingly obsessive behavior is not a good look."

"I'm actually intrigued to know that you found someone attractive. You're kinda of an enigma when it comes to romance."

"I do try to keep an air of mystery" Iida said sarcastically as he returned to his book. After thanking him once again, Todoroki left the recreational room to plan how he intends to ask Yaoyorozu out on a date. Glancing at the door to make sure his scarred friend wasn't coming back, Iida quickly took out his phone.

Iida: I'm fairly certain that Todoroki will ask her first.

Kendou: No way, Todoroki is too shy. Yaomomo is gonna ask first and you will owe me ¥5,000!

Iida: Don't be so sure. Todoroki came to me for advice on how to ask Yaoyorozu out on a date, and he left feeling pretty confident. I sense that this will be a bet that I will win…"

Kendou: We'll see about that ;‑)

Lunch breaks at UA high were a time for hanging out with your friends as much as it was a time for food. Close friends tended to eat together to discuss strategies to tackle future tests, share and compare homework answers, or just to hang out.

Tooru and Ashido were busy studying for a test that was actually two weeks away. Now that they had no Yaoyorozu to help tutor them, the duo needed to study harder than ever before. Ashido had a better time adjusting to the loss of the smartest student in class 1A due to the fact that Midoriya's studying habits rubbed off on her. She also promised him that her grades would stay consistent after he went to Shiketsu. The problem both of them had been that they were simultaneously trying to study while trying to interrogate Tsuyu about her date with Kirishima this Saturday.

"Oh my God, how come you didn't tell us about this any sooner!"

"Well he did ask me about like, two days ago…"

"But still! We really need to go on a double date sometime! Me and Midoriya and you and Kirishima, that would awesome! Maybe when Tooru finally gets the guts to ask Ojiro out then we could go on a triple date!"

Tooru took offense to the last part of Ashido's statement "Hey! I'm too busy focusing on my studies to worry about guy stuff. Ojiro's in the same boat as me. And I think you should worry about studying too considering you promised Midoriya that you would keep your grades up!"

Mina seemed unaffected by Tooru's words "I picked up on some of my boyfriend's studying habits, so I have a schedule of when to relax and when to actually read my notes. Right now, I'm focusing on just hanging out and I'll study once class is over. If I make sure I don't slack off then I can easily maintain my B average. God, you do not know how great it is to not worry about school so much!"

Tsuyu croaked in annoyance and told Ashido that she needed to help Tooru study and that it'll benefit her pink friend to study as well since her two classmates would be too busy working to talk about anything else.

Meanwhile, the table consisting of Uraraka, Tokoyami, Shouji, Shinsou, and Hatsume were watching the inventor demonstrate her new invention- a helmet that could theoretically block Shinsou's mind control powers. Shinsou was intrigued about the device and agreed to help her test it. The rest of the table wanted to see if it would work.

"Alright, take bites of your rice ball"

On cue, Mei's eyes went blank, and she took her first bite. The table seemed disappointed that the helmet seemed to be a failure but were surprised that Mei was clearly struggling against the second bite. It took a full minute for Mei to take the last bite.

"I'm impressed, so far only Midoriya overcame my mind control quirk but your helmet seems to be on the right track."

"Yeah, but it's obvious it needs more testing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a specific alloy but the problem is that I don't know what that alloy is. Oh well, I'll put the quirk resistant helmet in the "work on free time" pile. I have a ton of commissions right now, including an improved anti G-force helmet for Uraraka."

"Thank you Hatsume. Even though I need to train my quirk to get over my motion sickness, your improvements do keep me from vomiting which I think would be seen as unprofessional."

"It's no problem, I like analyzing the unique problems that people face because of their quirks and like to try to solve them" She turned towards Shouji and Tokoyami "You sure you guys don't need any modifications?"

"My quirk wouldn't benefit from any tools, I'm afraid. I know you told me that you could try to synthesize a stretchy fabric for my arms but to be honest I prefer that all my limbs be free, so I could grow eyes and ears everywhere" Shouji seemed apologetic that his quirk wouldn't benefit from Hatsune's gadgets

"And Dark Shadow isn't affected by my clothes so any special gadgets would just be superfluous."

Hatsume shrugged her shoulders in apathy and went back to her rice ball. Looks like not everyone's quirks could be enhanced by gadgets.

There were two people in class 1A that didn't sit with anyone else. One was UA's resident perverted gremlin, Mineta who was barred from sitting near any of his male classmates because they didn't care about his perverted tendencies and forbidden from sitting near any girls for obvious reasons.

The other student that sat alone was Katsuki Bakugou. Normally he sat near Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari but after the incident involving his kidnapping and Kirishima's expulsion, the latter two wanted nothing to do with him.

That was fine by Bakugou! He didn't give a shit that his former friends weren't talking to him anymore. In fact, he was elated that he didn't have to waste any more time hanging out with these extras. This just gave him more time to work on being the greatest hero that ever lived.

Stop trying to fool yourself. You're actually pretty miserable that no one gives a damn about you anymore

Once gain, Bakugou's conscience butted his ugly head where it didn't belong. Are you kidding me? Those losers were just a distraction. Besides, Shitty hair isn't even there so why would I care about sitting at that table?

...so you do care about Kirishima?

Shit. Bakugou dropped his fork in shock. Did he miss Kirishima? The first person to look past his attitude and didn't lecture him on becoming a "proper" UA student. The first person who took his crass personality in stride and would go out of his way to make sure that he's included in their annoying group activities. Sure, that fucking nerd that Deku always tried to be friendly to him despite the bullying but Deku was (rightfully) scared of his power until he got his mysterious quirk.

Yeah, like I care that much about Shitty hair. I'll admit he wasn't a total annoyance but you're exaggerating how much I care about the guy. Besides, I doubt that he's thinking of me anymore now that's he's wasting time with his new girlfriend.

So you do keep tabs with what Kirishima is doing

Pfft, whatever. I just knew that Shitty hair would find someone else to pester.

Rather, unexpectedly, Neito Monoma arrived at Bakugou's table wearing a rather smug smirk. "What the fuck do you want, you copycat fucker?"

"I just wanted to know how happy you were."

"The fuck?"

"Come on, Bakugou! You must feel ecstatic! You're now top of your pathetic class since all your competition got shipped to Shiketsu. It must be great that you're the best in 1A."

Bakugou grit his teeth "Shut the fuck up or I'll cave your face in"

"Do you really want to do that? You would get reprimanded for fighting a fellow student and I don't think anyone would rush to defend you when you get accused of something. You may get suspended or worse, expelled!"

Bakugou stopped to think for a moment. If he did get expelled, he wasn't sure what other hero schools would take him. Everyone knows him as the "kid who got kidnapped by the league of villains and rescued by five brave heroes". Sure, he got kidnapped because they thought he was strong, and they wanted him to join up but the public didn't know that, and he figured that no one would want to hear that the villains thought he would make a great addition to their ranks.

The explosive teen calmed down and went back to his meal but not before throwing one final "fuck you" at Monoma's direction.

Monoma smiled and walked away, he had his share of fun-humiliating Bakugou.

After the school-day was over Marco Bernal invited two of his friends to hang out at a local cafe. He hadn't had a chance to talk to Shota Aizawa or Emi Fukukado in a long time, and he had hoped that they would be happy to see him. Thankfully, they both accepted his invitation. Marco expected that Emi would gladly spend some time with him but Shota actually interrupting his beauty sleep to join him was a surprise.

"Why do you always order decaf coffee, darling?"

Aizawa pinched the bridge of his nose "Caffeine always makes me go to sleep and stop calling me honey"

Marco laughed at the duo's antics before starting a conversation with Aizawa. "Thanks for giving me five of your kids, Shota. They seem to be acclimating to Shiketsu really well."

"They better, they were among the best I had this year. If they weren't stupid enough to go on that dangerous mission than they would still be in UA."

"Come on man, I know you're proud of them. I mean, why would you recommend them to my school if you weren't?"

"I told them to go to a different her school because I knew that they could all be great heroes and I expelled them because no matter how good they could be in the future there are rules and regulations that you must follow. Those five broke the law when they went to rescue Bakugou, and they had to face the consequences."

"I'm just surprised you didn't expel your entire class honey."

"I would have if I didn't think this year's class all had immense potential. I figured that it would be a waste to let all of them go. Hell, the only reason I argued for the expulsion of those five is because I knew that they would end up as great heroes without my guidance. Well, I'm fairly certain about that for four of my five students. And god dammit, Emi, please stop trying to play the part of my girlfriend."

"Wait a minute, why do you have faith in four of the kids you gave me?"

"Well, Kirishima didn't show the grit that the other four of them displayed. But I had to expel him too since he was part of the group. The kid clings on to people he idolizes such as Bakugou and that could be a real problem. I want to see how this kid grows now."

Emi crossed her arms petulantly "I'm still mad I didn't get any of your kids, sweetheart"

"Well, since they already worked as a team before I wanted all of them to stick together and Shiketsu was the only school that offered."

"You do know that Shiketsu only offered to take all five of them is because they wanted to cash in on UA's bad publicity, right? That's exactly what my bosses told me. I don't know how you guys are gonna recover from all this shit."

"We'll find a way, Marco."

"Well if it doesn't work out and you get fired I wouldn't mind a house husband…" Emi checked her watch "Sorry guys, I gotta go. Promised my friend that I would watch her kids while she's at work. It was nice hanging out with you two again, we shouldn't wait a long time before we do it again."

"You're more amicable to her than anyone else who supposedly annoys you. What gives, Shota?"

"I guess she's finally wearing me down…"

"Hah! You and Emi, ten years in the making!"

"Shut up, Marco."

"So Toga, how is your infiltration of Shiketsu going so far?" Tomura Shigaraki sat one of the bar stools waiting for his choice of drink- a regular coke (he didn't like alcohol) and decided to inquire the status of their new mission. This was the League's first operation not lead by Sensei, and they were all nervous.

"Better than you can imagine! How lucky are we that Deku and the other four who I really don't care about is at the school we were planning to sneak into for months!" Himiko Toga was ecstatic that the guy she was in love with was going to the same school that she was. "I found out that my Deku was actually dating someone else! How annoying is that? After all the trouble I went to getting such a cute disguise, he still doesn't care about me!"

"Speaking of disguises, where exactly is the girl you kidnapped?

"Oh, Camie? She's in an abandoned building somewhere! I kept her alive because I want to use her disguise as long as possible and I don't love her, so I didn't see a point in killing her. Also, there's not enough female heroes and villains, so I didn't think killing her would help anyone."

That unexpected burst of feminism made Magne give her a high five "Right on little sis!"

Shigaraki however, was less than impressed "Leaving her alive sounds like a terrible idea, and Magne, why do you care? You're not even a woman!"

That insensitive statement was not received well among Shigaraki's underlings. Both Twice and Dabi called him out on that "What the hell, man?" Twice dropped his crazy routine to comfort Magne. Dabi simply shook his head uttering "Not cool."

Spinner dropped the magazine he was reading to give his boss an earful. "We became villains because society rejected people like us, why would you try to divide us even more?"

Mr. Compress agreed with his fellow leaguer "Spinner is right, we need to be on the same page"

Shigaraki was actually remorseful of his actions. His master always treated him right and here he was foregoing Sensei's methods and slipping into his old, shitty self. He knew he had to make this right.

"Magne, I apologize for acting like such an insensitive prick to you. I know this apology doesn't really mean much coming from someone like me but I know I have to change. So why not I let you and Toga keep that Camie girl alive? You can even let her go when you're done with her."

Both Magne and Toga were taken aback with Shigaraki's unexpected apology "Do you really mean it?"

Shigaraki wasn't surprised that they found it hard to believe that he was changing, hell he found it hard to believe! "I really do, both the apology and the Camie thing. I'm gonna have to get my act together if I'm gonna be the leader here."

The rest of the League seemed to be pleased at their boss' new-found benevolence. Even Dabi nodded his head approvingly at this new development.

"I'm impressed with your new shift in attitude, Tomura Shigaraki." Kurogiri handed the boss his drink as he voiced his approval.

"You shouldn't, Kurogiri. This is just the first step in my transformation into a worthy successor for Sensei. If I want the League to grow and become successful, I'm going to have to earn the respect of these guys."

"Well this is an excellent first step. I'm sure that you Sensei would be proud of you if he were here right now."

"You really think that, Kurogiri?"

Inko couldn't believe that this was actually happening. She gave him an invitation out of common courtesy, but she hadn't expected that he would actually accept! Okay, she needed to calm down. She dreaded this the entire week, but she needed to stay logical. It won't just be him, Detective Tsukauchi and his wife will also be joining them. Maybe they could those two could erase the inevitable awkward tension between?

The doorbell rang, indicating that the guests arrived. When she opened the door, Inko was greeted by the sight of the detective and his wife, Megumi with bags of take out. "Thanks for inviting us on such short notice, Mrs Midoriya. We took care of the food for you."

Inko thanked the two for their generosity while trying to find All Might without arousing suspicion. It took her time some time to notice the gangly, sickly man who was actually just behind the couple. She was still so used to the larger than life icon that seeing him in his current form was jarring. It's not like his slim form was ugly or anything. If anything, she liked this new All Might a bit better because he seemed approachable to someone like her.

"Hey... Mr. Midoriya" the former number one hero greeted her a bit more anxiously than she would have thought. It was weird seeing All Might so nervous considering that he was always so loud. Before she could greet him in return, her teapot wailed "Oh, I forgot about the tea I had on the stove! I'll be back in a moment."

"I'll help you!" Megumi offered her services. The two women stepped in the kitchen while All Might and Tsukauchi had small talk."

"Megumi, was it?"

"Yeah. It's good to talk with another woman. You don't know how much time I spend at home taking care of my kid while Naomasa is at work. I really worry about him sometimes...He's seen his fair share of danger since he's a close ally of All Might."

"I worry about the same for my son. He idolizes All Might and wants to be a pro hero just like him. Ever since he got his quirk he's been trying his hardest to make his dream a reality."

"I almost forgot that your son part of the UA Five. You must be proud of him, I know most of Japan including my five-year old already sees him as a hero."

"I'm more scared of what might happen to him, to be honest. He's across the country right now. Hopefully his new school has less villain problems than UA…"

"You know both Naomasa and I were quite surprised that All Might wanted to visit you. He's usually such an introverted guy when's not doing pro hero stuff. My husband is one of the few friends he has. It seemed that he took a shine to you."

"I'm sure he wanted to see me because he thinks that I'll just be a lonely shut in without my son. It's just guilt."

Their conversation was interrupted by Tsukauchi, who wanted to show his wife a video of their son riding a bike for the first time. In truth, the couple wanted to isolate All Might and Inko so the two could finally talk.

Toshinori approached Inko again and quickly introduced himself...again.

"You already said hello, All Might."

"Oh, uh...Yes I forgot about that. And please call me by my actual name- Toshinori Yagi. I don't think the name "All Might" fits me anymore" he chuckled sardonically while mock flexing his now unimpressive arms.

"Oh my, I can't believe I'm on a real name basis with one of the most famous heroes in Japan! You wouldn't believe how much my son idolized you when he was a young child. He used to watch videos of you every day saving people while wearing a hooded sweatshirt based off your costume!"

"That sounds hilarious! Now I'm mad that I can't embarrass him with that information in school."

"You really were such a positive effect on him. When he discovered that he didn't have a quirk…" The conversation shifted moods suddenly, Toshinori's smile slowly faded and tears welled in Inko's eyes. "When he found out he didn't have a quirk the uplifting speeches you made on T.V were the only things that made him keep his faith that he could one day become a hero. The only thing I did was apologize for that he didn't have a quirk. I was so busy with my divorce that I couldn't do as much as I should have. My son even thought his father left because he didn't have a quirk, can you believe that?"

All Might knew what it was like. He knew all too well what it felt like to be a product of a bygone era. To have nothing unique or special about him. No matter how much he trained, Toshinori knew that he could never be equal to his peers that had powers that defied imagination. He thought back to when he callously told young Midoriya that he couldn't become a hero due to his condition. How could he say that to the young boy when went through the same tribulations?

When the same boy whose dreams he crushed earlier risked his life to save the life of Bakugou even after being told that he could never become a hero all the while he himself was too scared to help, All Might learned something that day. He learned that this quirkless wimp would be his successor, and the next holder of One for All.

"Oh, I'm sorry for giving you such a sob story…" Inko was embarrassed that she told his son's former teacher such a detailed story.

"You don't have to feel sorry, Mrs. Midoriya. Your son inspires me more and more every day. I truly believe that he will surpass me. And please, don't feel so guilty over what happened in the past. Young Midoriya must have gotten his heroic ideals from someone and I think you're giving me too much credit. You raised him all by your lonesome for the majority of his life. You sacrificed so much for your child and in my eyes, that's as heroic as any pro hero…"

"Thank you, Mr. Yagi"

"Does anyone know that you're training with me, kid?"

"I told Iida and Todoroki, and they promised me that if anyone asks where I went that they would say that I'm visiting my grandfather."

"Those two were the ones you fought that Stain fellow with, right?"

"Yeah." Midoriya gave an uncharacteristically terse answer as he continued his training regiment. This actually made the old hero wonder what was up with the current holder of One for All.

"Hey kid, is everything alright?"

"It's not, Mr. Gran Torino sir. All Might is gone permanently and I have to step it up soon. Before, I could maybe rely on All Might showing up and kicking ass at least once a day but things went faster than I thought. I have to be a worthy successor before the League of Villains or who knows who else attacks and only someone with my quirk could stop them."

"Oh yeah, what's the plan now?"

"Well for starters I had to drill into my skull that this is my quirk now. No more fanboying or thinking that I'm not worthy. If I keep doing that then I will never become someone who could carry my predecessors' legacy. I need to find my own style and not copy All Might's brawling tactics."

Gran Torino was equally impressed and worried about the teen's new outlook on life. It was great to see Midoriya understand the burden thrust upon him, but he was afraid that this new dash of cynicism would drive Midoriya down the wrong path.

"Hey kid, what are you going to work for now that you finally accepted One for All?"

"I'm going to fight for peace and justice of course!" Midoriya answered the question like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "There are so many people who are in danger every day and I want to be there to make sure that everything was going to be alright."

Gran Torino inwardly smiled. The damn kid was still the same person at heart- someone who longed to brighten this dark and nasty world. "Alright, what new fighting style do you want to work on?"

Midoriya instantly went back to his awkward and dorky self "Well...I was thinking of this new fighting style inspired by my girlfriend…"

"You have a girlfriend? Good job kid! I bet she's as cute as a button!"

"Yeah...She break dances a lot and it's amazing how every part of her body is in sync. There's a fighting style like that called Capoeira and I want it to be the basis of my new style. I downloaded some instructional videos and guides so…"

"Well, what a coincidence! I happen to be a former Capoeirista and although my old bones can't let me do all the stuff I used to do when I was younger, I still know quite a bit about that style."

"What's a "Capoeirista"?"

"That's someone who practices Capoeira, you goof! It looks like you have a lot to learn. You're using fifteen percent of One for All right now but I'll teach you once you hit twenty percent. Every subsequent new technique I'll teach you will be gated by different measures of your quirk. That way I'll ensure that you'll keep up your quirk training and your martial arts training!"

"That sounds great!"

"Once I'm done training you, you'll be as strong as my old pupil and you'll be a better martial artist!"

*I added the League of Villains bit to kinda explain why Camie's still alive and to showcase how Shigaraki's developing the opposite way that Midoriya is. Shigaraki is becoming more like his mentor while Midoriya want's to become his own person

Midoriya is gonna be a lot more confident and abrasive in this fic than he is in canon. In fact, all of the "UA five" are more cynical here but they are still heroic

I also gave Nagamasa some character traits that he didn't have in the manga because he was kinda of a flat cahracter. Expect more OOC-ness*
