[Midoriya residence]
Entering his home, Izuku calmly removes his shoes before walking down the hall to look for his mother. He wanted to have a talk, about who or, given recent events, 'what' he truly was. He had already found out that he was adopted when he was young, after all it wasn't that hard to deduce, all you needed was a functional pair of eyes and you'd see that the similarities between Izuku and his parents are borderline inexistent.
"Mom?" He says as he walks in the living room "I'm hom-"
Before he could finish his sentence, He feels a small green mass crash into him from the front.
"Izuku!!!" Cried the woman, wrapping her hands around Izuku, giving him a warm and tight hug that only a mother could.
"Mom it's ok, calm down, I'm fine" sweetly said Izuku with a warm smile, trying to calm his mother down.
"I was so worried for you!" the woman replied with tears coming out her eyes "I was cooking dinner and I turned on the TV and then I saw you! You, you awakened your Quirk!" she said, looking up to Izuku.
"So, you're not mad that I put myself in that situation?" asked Izuku whiles sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Huh?" said Inko, all her worries and kindness disappearing from her voice and demeanor.
"You did WHAT?! What were you thinking!? Jumping into trouble like that! What if your Quirk didn't awaken, what then?!" Yelled Inko with utmost fury and pinching Izuku's ear.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Sorry mom! I wasn't thinking!" said Izuku as he begged for his mother's mercy.
Slowly losing her strength after her initial outburst, Inko leaned on Izuku, as she starts crying once more, dampening Izuku's uniform, before she slowly starts falling on her knees "Y- *sniff* You would've ended up dead, and I- *sniff* I can't bear to lose my only son, *sniff* my sweet baby boy *sniff*" she said, sadness evident in her voice.
Izuku may not be her biological son, but she still loved and raised him as if he was her own, filling him with love and affection, despite his troubled childhood. And just now, whiles she was cooking dinner, her son nearly died without her even knowing about it. The thought of it nearly broke her.
"I know mom. I'm sorry for worrying you" replied Izuku, as he hugs his mother whiles rubbing her back, trying to soothe and calm her down. "Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I promise"
As Inko calmed down, she apologizes to her son for her outburst and tells him to take a shower, as she goes back to the kitchen to finish her cooking. But before she could walk away, Izuku gives her another shock by asking "Mom? When we eat dinner…Can we, talk about where I came from?"
Inko froze and her face paled. Panicked, her thoughts went a mile a minute as countless questions flooded in her head. 'Where he came from? Oh no, does he know? Does he not want us as his parents anymore? How'd he find out? I need to tell Hisashi! Does he already know? Or was it him who told Izuku?'
Seeing this, Izuku sighs "Calm down mom, I was just curious. Besides, I told you, I'm not going anywhere"
This seems to calm Inko down, as she snaps out of her panicked state, and continues to head towards the kitchen. Looking back at her son, she tells him with a worried look "If you really want to, then I'll try my best to answer your questions, though I'm afraid I won't be of much help if you want to uncover your full origins"
"It's ok mom" replied Izuku with a warm smile "As I said, I'm just curious as all"
[During dinner]
"S- so, what did you want to know?" Asked Inko, still nervous about her son's sudden curiosity about his origins. After all, if he already knew about him being adopted then why ask now? And why not tell them he already knew?
Seemingly reading his mother's mind, Izuku answers her questions first before asking his own. "Mom, before I ask anything, I want you to know that I didn't tell you about my knowledge of my adoption simply because I knew you tell me eventually, and if you didn't then I wouldn't mind, since that wouldn't change the fact you two raised me as best you could, as if I was your own. Plus that wouldn't have changed how I saw you and dad either. You two are my parents, and I wouldn't exchange you for anything"
Hearing this calmed Inko's mind, her son was right. If he already knew and didn't bother to ask them about it, then it means that regardless of him being adopted or not, things will still go on like they always did. But despite that reassurance from her son, she still had one question left.
"Why now?" Inko asked "Why tell us about knowing about it now?"
"It's nothing really...its just that..." Izuku started, but he never got to finish his sentence, because he couldn't lie to Inko, his mother, the woman who raised him, cared for him, and gave him everything he ever needed.
He already kept quiet about his knowledge of the adoption, and he couldn't stomach the thought of hiding something from his parents again. So, he took a deep breath and reconsidered his words.
"Today, when I charged in to save Kacchan from the sludge villain, my quirk awakened" started Izuku.
"Um hmm" said Inko as she nodded, indicating to Izuku that he had her full attention.
"Well...the thing about it is I also got attacked by it before that"
Inko's eyes widened at that. She wanted to ask more about said encounter, but she held herself back, allowing her son to finish before asking. She was an adult after all, she taught as she continued to listen to Izuku.
"When I got attacked, I tried to fight back, but...given my lack of power at the time, I couldn't do anything, and I ended up fainting."
"Wait then how did you-?"
"Apparently, I was saved by All Might, we had a talk, but then the villain escaped again and well...the rest is history. I'm really sorry mom, but as you could probably tell, I skipped the part of my conversation with All Might. It's not that I don't trust you or anything, it's just that...what I found out is not my secret to tell, I hope you can understand"
"Oh Izuku, you always have been a kind child. I understand, I know you'd tell me if you could. But what does being attacked by the sludge villain have to do with your heritage?" Asked Inko, this time, out of pure curiosity.
"Yeah, about that...When I fainted, I had a dream, or as I started calling it a 'vision'. In that vision, I saw people, people I recognised despite never having seen them before, they felt...familiar, for some reason. Not only that, but those people, they were people with powers, powers that can easily beat All Might's.
The strangest thing about those visions however, is that in those visions, I saw things happen in a first-person perspective, it was as if I was actually there, but my body wouldn't respond to me and I couldn't feel a thing, it just moved on it's own, as if they were things that had already happened, as if they were memories.
That's why I was hoping you could tell me more about my origins, mom.
I'd like to know where I was found, and hopefully, find out what these visions are."
Shocked by the revelation, Inko stayed silent trying to process was her son just said. "Not to sound pessimistic, but Izuku, how do you know those weren't just dreams?" asked Inko with a worried tone.
"Because I tried it, mom"
"What do you mean, Izuku?"
"There was this person in my vision. He looked just like me, but he was a bit more buff, and he had brown spiky hair with a pair of red crimson eyes. He did something, some kind of technique, something similar to what I did when I was saving Kacchan. That's where i got it from, mom, I tried to copy that person's technique and it worked, I did it. Though, what I did was a bit different since i abridged it, but my point still stands; those Vision I had weren't just dreams, they were something real, and they had something to do with me and my power. Heck, for all I know, that brown haired person I saw could've been my father for all the similarities we share.
That's why I need to find out what they are. And the only thing I can do to find out more, is to discover my origins."
"I see" uttered Inko in contemplation "I'm sorry Izuku, but I don't think I'll be of much help. Your dad and I were just having a little vacation on the countryside when we found you in the middle of the road. There was a meteor shower that night, and one actually nearly hit our car, but we managed to crash in the side of the road. You on the other hand weren't so lucky, since we found you amongst the rubble that the meteorite caused. You were already covered in scars when we found you too, so we thought maybe you had a regeneration quirk. Anyways, we looked for your parents, but there was no one to be found for miles, so we brought you to the police hoping they could find your parents, but they also found nothing, so in the end we decided to adopt you instead.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you Izuku, but there's just nothing we know about your origins, it's as if you just fell off the sky" said Inko as she sheepishly laughed off the last quote, seeing it more as a gag to try and lighten up the situation.
Izuku on the other hand, didn't see it as such. 'A meteor shower, nothing to be found about me...could it be? No no no no, there's no way I'm an alien. Think Izuku, think! There's gotta be a more rational explanation...right?'
Izuku tried to push the thought to the back of his head as much as he could, but a realisation hit him, and it made him reconsider whether his theory actually did have some sense in it. 'In my second vision, I saw that person again, he seemed like he was training for something. And I...I was in space! OH MY GOD! Am I actually an alien?!' thought Izuku as he starts to have an existential crisis in front of his mother.
Inko, understanding what Izuku thought of in his mind realizes her mistake 'Ops, I probably should've kept that last part to myself' now all he's gonna think about is whether he's an alien or not' thought Inko as a sweat drop went down the back of her head.
[The next morning]
"Mom, I'm off!" Says Izuku, as he ties his shoes, preparing to leave
"Oh? You're awfully early today? It's only 5:00 A.M?! and it's a weekend too!" says Inko, surprised that her sleepyhead of a son actually woke up earlier than the sun's rise "Normally you wouldn't wake up until 2 to 4 P.M!"
"Oh right, I completely forgot! Remember when I said All Might saved e from the sludge villain? Yeah, after I saved Kacchan, we had another conversation and he offered to train me."
"Wah-? You know what, I've doubted your abilities and your dreams for long enough, so if you think this is the best way for you to achieve it then you have my blessing. Just...keep me updated so I don't worry, ok?"
Izuku's eyes brightened at his mother's approval, and he proceeds to give her a tight hug "Thanks mom, you're the best" he said as he buried his face on his mother's shoulder.
Inko hugged her son back before saying "You better go then, you can't keep the number 1 hero waiting now, can you?"
At this Izuku separated himself from his mother before walking out the door and saying goodbye to his mother.
[Dagobah municipal Beach]
"Damn, there sure are a lot of trash in here" said Izuku, wondering why his idol would want to meet him in such a place.
"That is exactly why I wanted us to meet in here young Midoriya!" Shouted an all too familiar voice.
"All Might!" said the cyan haired boy.
"No matter how unglamorous it may be, don't forget that being a hero has always been about volunteer work! Whether it's volunteering to fight a villain, volunteering to save people, or volunteering for community services, it's always been about doing the necessary work without being told to. Most young heroes today only does hero work for fame and glory...but you're not one of those younglings, are you?" Said All Might whiles walking towards a large refrigerator "You, Izuku Midoriya are different. So, let's bring back this once beautiful shoreline to its former beauty, shall we?!" He says as he proceeds to crush the large object, with his bare hand.
Izuku, now understanding All Might's plan for his 10 months of training asks "So, this is gonna be my training ground, huh? Well then, where do we begin All Might" he says with a feral grin and fiery eyes.
All Might grinned back after seeing the boy's reaction, the boy's determination could be seen so clearly on his fiery eyes, like seriously, Toshinori could've sworn he saw a glint of crimson in the boy's eyes.
Answering the boy's question, Toshinori pulled out a pile of paper and said "That's what this is for! My self-designed 'Aim to pass, American dream plan!' a training regimen to help you clean up the beach, and then some!"
"Damn, this covers a lot! When to exercise, when to rest, heck it even covers what and how much I have to eat!" Says Izuku whiles reading the paper.
"So kid, are you up for it?" asked All Might, already expecting the boy's answer.
"Yeah… Not happening" Replied Izuku with a dead pan voice.
"OK! As expected- Wait, what?!" All Might was dumbfounded, the boy showed such determination just a few seconds ago, and now he's quitting?! "What's wrong young man? I thought you were looking forward to this? Do you no longer wish to become a hero?"
"That's not it All Might" replied Izuku with a bored look in his face. "It's just… there's something I can't do in the regimen"
"Huh? What is it?" Asked All Might as he leaned closer to the boy. "If there's something that can't be done due to personal or medical reasons, then I understand. I'll make some adjustments to make sure things go as smoothly as possible for you"
"don't worry All Might. I won't ask much, it's just...this" Says Izuku whiles pointing at his sleep schedule. "It's too short, I'm gonna need more time for my sleep, if you want me to be at my best. I mean seriously though, 6 HOURS?! A regular person needs AT LEAST 10 hours to get the proper amount of rest."
Toshinori sweat dropped. The kid seems to take his sleep seriously. "Kid, are you sure about that? This is meant to make you finish cleaning the beach as efficiently as possible. If we cut more time from it than necessary, then-"
"5 Months" Interjected Izuku. "If you remove some time from training, and let me get my sleep, I'll finish cleaning the beach in 5 Months" he calmy stated while looking at All Might with cold and certain eyes.
Toshinori was taken aback. This kid, is bargaining his chances to get into U.A, the most prestigious school in the country, for a few extra hours of sleep?! As the number 1 hero, Toshinori thought he had seen it all, but this kid…he just keeps surprizing him. But what surprised him the most however, wasn't the 'risking his dreams to catch some Zzz's part.' what surprised him the most was 'the kid stating he'd do something near impossible as if it was already done.'
"5 months, huh? You seem pretty confident about that. You sure you aren't overestimating yourself because of your new Quirk kid?"
"Don't worry All Might" replied Izuku "I'm not gonna regret it, trust me."
All Might sighed, "Verry well then kid, I'll make some adjustments to the regimen to fit in a few extra hours for your sleep, but don't blame me if you aren't able to complete it later down the line" he said as he proceeds to take back the papers from Izuku.
[First month of training with All Might]
Izuku learn how to use his powers, his "quirk", now registered as shockwaves, allows Izuku to manipulate the air around his personal space to then release it with his already impressive physical attacks to create powerful shockwaves and air currents, whether it is from a kick, a punch or, even a headbutt doesn't matter, Izuku can generate shockwaves that can easily rival All Might's 40% hits, he can also move at speeds equal to All Might's 35%, and when combined with his special techniques, which he calls Renewal, his power skyrockets to 80% of All Might's maximum power.
It's drawbacks, however, seems to have more to do with his body, as All Might initially suspected when he saw the boy pass out on his feet after using his Quirk for the first time. The boy's regular attacks seem to not be much of a problem for his body, as it only gets him slight fatigue the more he uses it. The problem lies on the boy's Renewal techniques; when used at full power, his body seems to relapse, as if he's body temporarily deteriorates every time he uses it. So, All Might decided to give Izuku some rules in his Quirk usage: Izuku can't use his renewal techniques at full power, he is only allowed to use his Renewal techniques at full power when it is absolutely necessary so it should only be treated as a last resort, and he can only use it at full power 5 times a day, or else he risks being incapacitated for the rest of said day.
[Month 5 of training with All Might]
Izuku completely cleans the beach, surprising All Might, who thought that the task was impossible in such a short amount of time, and once again offers Izuku his Quirk.
After being deemed 'too pushy' by Izuku however, he gives up on making the cyan haired boy the next One for all user and asks him to help him find and select potential candidates in the future instead.
[Month 6 of training with All Might]
Izuku, after taking a month-long break from physical training, to concentrate more on his fighting style and Quirk, decides to ask All Might for sparring lessons. After all, if he had already completed his physical training, he might as well use the extra time he had left to get ahead of the competition.
Toshinori was delighted by the idea and proceeds to train the boy not only in hand to hand combat, but also in weapons combat, in which they discover Izuku's affinity for polearm type weapons.
[Last day of the "10 months of hell"]
Izuku meets All Might, who he had started calling "Yagi sensei" by the request of All Might to be called something other than his hero name.
"Yagi sensei, you wanted to see me?" Asked Izuku whiles walking towards All Might from behind. He had just finished doing his nightly run, and he had taken off his track suit's top, which is now drenched in sweat, as he wrapped it around his hip.
"Yeah kid" answered Toshinori whiles turning back to face his student. Looking at him, he had grown so much in just 10 months, Toshinori had a hard time believing it himself. His muscles, whiles not becoming as big as he hoped, have definitely gotten more defined and lost every ounce of unnecessary fat. Toshinori had already felt the boy's muscles when he grabbed the boy's arm during one of their sparring matches, they were incredibly dense. They might not be as big, but they were definitely just as, if not more powerful than that of most people with a strength enhancing Quirk. Its seems that the boy's body naturally compresses every muscles it gains, so his body remains lean and he doesn't lose speed because his body is in no risk of becoming too bulky.
"I just wanted to talk you about the entrance exam" Toshinori stated. "I wanted to tell you how far you have gotten. From that scrawny looking yet dependable young man, to a stronger and more capable young hero in training. I wanted to tell you that no matter what happens tomorrow, I'll be proud of you. You, who has continuously blown away my expectations in these past 10 months. I know you'll be fine, and I'll be right there watching" he said, trying to encourage his student. And it seems to have worked, as Izuku looked at him with fiery eyes, the same way he always looks at him every time he was about to exceed his expectations.
"I'll do my best, Yagi sensei!"
[the day of the entrance exam]
'Holy crap, I can't believe I'm actually here!!!' thought Izuku as he proceeds to go into hero fanboy mode and gosh over the school in front of him. 'This is U.A, the school that has produced the likes of Best jeanist, Endeavour, and Yagi sensei! Not only that, it also produced most of the top 10 heroes of our generation! It's as if graduating from U.A was a requirement for being a great hero.' he continued with wide and shiny eyes. 'And I'm…going to pass the entrance exam and get accepted…no matter what!' he finished, going back to his resolute mental state.
"Stop staring at the damn building and move, Deku!" Yelled a gruff voice from behind and jolting the cyan haired boy out of his thoughts.
"Oh, hay Kacchan" greeted Izuku with a wave and a smile.
"Get out of the way nerd! And don't get cocky just because you have a quirk now. I'm still gonna become number 1, and you're still nothing but a pebble to me" Grumbled the explosive blond as he walks past the cyan haired boy.
Not responding, Izuku just let his classmate walk away, he didn't need a fight before the exam even started, not to mention the risk of getting kicked out. 'Yeah...just let it slide Izuku, it's not worth losing your only chance to get into the most prestigious hero school in the country'
After regaining his composure from having wanted to hit Bakugo in the face, he looked back at the school and took a deep breath. "Well, here goes nothing"
'My first step into becoming a hero' thought Izuku as he takes a step towards the school...
And immediately trips afterwards. 'Goddamnit!' He thought as he watches the floor get closer and closer to his face. 'My body won't move! These nerves are gonna be the death of me!'
Preparing for the impact to hit his face, Izuku closed his eyes, hoping to numb the pain. But the pain never came.
"Sorry for stopping your fall without your permission, I just thought It'd be bad luck if you tripped and fell right before an important exam" Said a brown-haired girl with a bubbly smile.
As Izuku is set on straight, he immediately notices the girl putting her fingers together and saying "release".
"A telekinesis quirk?" Muttered Izuku, as he proceeds to enter his analysis mode. "No, she wouldn't have needed to set me straight with her arms while I was floating if that was the case. Then a floating quirk? Maybe, I did feel weightless just now, wait! Weightless? That's it! A Quirk that can manipulate gravity! Though I don't know to what extent just yet, maybe if she used it on me one more-"
"Um Excuse me? Are you okay?"
Izuku was snapped out of his analysis mode, he had totally forgotten that the girl was still standing besides him.
"Uh- yeah I'm fine, thanks for the save" said Izuku, trying to save himself from further embarrassment.
"It's ok, It shure is nerve wracking, huh?" she replied, seemingly ignoring Izuku's muttering spree from a few seconds ago.
Before Izuku could ask her anything however, she starts running into the building while waving her hands as a good bye "Anyways good luck to both of us!" she says without looking back, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. 'Oh my god, I only felt it through his clothes but, he's muscles are so hard! Now I can't get rid of the image!'
Shrugging, Izuku follows as he also walks into the building. 'I didn't even get to ask her name' thought Izuku. 'Oh well, I hope I'll get to meet her again soon.'
[During the practical portion of the test]
'Damn, talk about luck! Ask for it and you shall receive I guess ' thought Izuku as he walks towards the brunette, who seems to be panicking outside their practical exam site designated as "Battle centre B", to wish her luck, help her calm down and maybe, ask her more about her Quirk.
Izuku however, halted after he felt an arm on his shoulder followed by a loud voice saying "Hey, You!"
"Yeah?" Ask Izuku whiles turning his head to see who it is that stopped him. 'Oh, its him again ' he thought, remembering the blue haired boy from earlier, who told him to shut up in front of everybody, causing a scene during Present mic's presentation.
"Are you seriously taking the entrance exam just to interfere with everybody else?"
"Um...No? How the heck did you jump into that conclusion?" Asks Izuku
"Well, earlier you were disturbing people during the-"
"I was strategizing?" interrupted Izuku with a dead pan look. "If anything, YOU were the one interfering with others, you interfered with Present mic's presentation, you interfered with my strategizing, and now you interfering me from wishing an acquaintance of mine good luck and helping her calm down. If you want to lecture someone from being too distracting then learn how to do it without making a scene and disturbing others on your own first" finished Izuku as he walks off leaving a shocked and utterly speechless Iida.
'Damn it, I wasted too much time' Izuku sighed 'Oh well, I guess I'll have to ask her about her Quirk in class.' Thought Izuku, hoping to meet the girl some other time.
'Now where was I? Oh right, We examinees don't know how many villain are present or their locations, we have limited time, must cover a vast area and hunt down as many robots as possible. Some will use information gathering to plan out strategies, like me, whiles others will probably rely more on their pure speed and brute force to get ahead of others. The teachers probably want to see those who will use a combination of both tactics to wrack up as much points as possible, After all...a hero needs to excel in both mind and body to be able to ensure not just their safety, but that of others as well. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to show them both my mental and physical aptitudes in one move' thought Izuku, as a feral grin creeps up his face. 'Sure, we don't know where the robots are located. But they're probably going to spread them out the Battle centre, in every corner, every street, every building will most likely have at least one to give everyone a chance to get points. The problem is that, the longer the test goes on, the less villains there will be left in the arena...So the best solution would be...a pre-emptive strike! I'll release an attack at the centre of the arena and give it everything I have to ensure I get as many points as possible. But I guess I'll have to hold back a bit, I wouldn't want everybody else to lose their chances of getting in just because I wanted to show off. Besides, if this works then I'll probably, already have a guaranteed passing grade before anyone can even get 1 point.'
As the massive doors of the battle centre begins to open, Izuku immediately rushes in, running past the barely open gates with speeds comparable to All Might's 35% and into the centre of the city. As he arrives to his destination, he keeps running, trying to keep his momentum and immediately starts running up the tallest building around and jumps off as high as he can from its roof 'thanks for the advice Kacchan' he sarcastically thought before facing the ground, chambering his right leg, and preparing his favourite move.
" Kick of the Blue dragon! " He Yelled, as he releases his devastating kick that sent shockwaves throughout the entire arena, making a 10 meter deep and 25 meter long crater underneath him, signalling where his attack hit.
As he landed on the ground, already looking pretty noticeably fatigued from that one attack, Izuku looks around, seeing damaged buildings just outside his crater, and broken glass shards everywhere. "Oops" he chuckles, whiles slightly panting. "I guess I should've held back more. I did make the Blue Dragon kick less focused and more spread out to cause more air currents to Scatter rather than focus on one spot, but...I guess that was still too much force"
[Outside the Battle centre]
As the gates of the battle centre fully opens, the examinees, stay still for a few seconds, seemingly waiting for a signal to start.
Seeing this Present mic immediately screamed "What are y'all doing!?" he shouted from the observation tower "There are no count downs in a real battle! Go go go go! The kid that entered earlier is already in the centre of the city!"
As the participants begin to enter however, they hear a massive explosion followed by a loud rumbling.
BOOM!
"What was that?" one of the participants asked, before a huge gust of wind came their way, blowing dirt, debris and some broken robots towards them.
"Holy shit!" said another one of the participants.
"Did he...do that?" asked another one, as he looked around for anyone who could answer him
"You see!" Yelled Present mic once more. "The kid earlier just gained 100 points! If y'all are just gonna keep standing there, then he's gonna beat every single robot before you even start!"
Hearing this, every single participants panic, as they begin to rush in, hoping there are still some robots left.
Luckily for them, the explosion seem to have only taken out the robots on the streets, leaving the robots that were hidden inside the buildings intact and still fully functional.
[Meanwhile on the top of the observation tower]
"Holy mother of god!" utters Present mic after turning his microphone off, as he looks at the city replica before him. "That kid left a crater in the middle of the city, and broke every single window with one attack! That kid might just be as terrifying as All Might!"
[On one of the roof tops of Battle centre B]
Izuku decides to take a rest on top of one of the buildings, he had gotten pretty tired, after all he had just destroyed another 5 three-pointer robots and 6 two-pointer robots, garnering him another 27 points along with whatever points he already had.
'Thank god they were still so many robots inside the buildings' he thought. 'I really wouldn't have wanted anyone to fail because I decided to show off'
While resting his body on the roof tops, Izuku decides to observe other participants and their Quirks, trying to figure them out or trying to guess who would end up passing and who wouldn't
'Oh, that guys Quirk is shooting lasers out of his stomach! yeah, the way he's going he's definitely going to pass.' Izuku thinks as he watches a blonde boy who seems to have a rather...narcissistic tendency, if the way he keeps posing and looking at himself in every reflective surfaces he passes by is any indication.
'That guy seems to have...a tail? That's it?' Thought Izuku as he watches another blonde boy fight off a robot, by using his tail as an extra limb and incorporating it into his martial arts. 'Though his fighting style seems rather unpredictable, and strangely...familiar, he's barely going to pass if he goes on like this, not to mention he's also helping other participants who seem to be in a pinch, truly heroic, I hope he passes.'
'And Oh, there's she is!' thought Izuku as he watches the brunette he met from earlier touch different robots who consequently started to float up. 'As I hoped, her quirk isn't only cancelling gravity, if so then those robots she touched wouldn't have floated up, they would've just stayed on the ground until someone or something pushed them up. But she seems to be unaware of that, how strange. Had she never experimented with her Quirk and its potential? Cuz honestly she's wasting it.' He added, getting frustrated for some reason.
Maybe it's because he saw someone who's not using their full potential and yet is able to keep up with the others, whiles he had to work his ass off just to catch up to the rest of his peers. Or maybe he's frustrated because she had something he had always wanted, a Quirk from a young age, and one with incredible potential at that, but she never bothered to explore said potential.
Either way, Izuku was still frustrated. There you have people like the tail guy, who is currently busting his ass out there, just to barely pass, and yet there you had people like her, who didn't even seem to have trained her body one bit and is still scoring better than the tail guy.
Izuku understood that not everyone is born equal, he learned that lessons from Kacchan a long time ago, and that not every good people is rewarded for their kindness, but seeing it in front of him still hurts, he just can't help but think 'What if my Quirk didn't awaken? Would I still be where I am now?'
It was then, that an epiphany happened. Izuku saw the brunette who had somehow become the centre of his frustrations and doubt still present in him from all those looks of concern, pity and belittlement; work with the blonde tailed boy to help other examinees who were in a trouble.
Izuku realized that he shouldn't be hating on the talented. Instead he should work with them, inspire them to help others, others like him...or what he used to be. His treatment before his Quirk wasn't their fault, it was simply a flaw in their society, a flaw he has decided to fix. And to do that, he'll need allies, allies from the next generation of heroes, allies who can inspire others and encourage them not to belittle those without or with weak or villainous Quirks, but to help them, true heroes who will help those in need, and will be helped by the people they inspired in return.
[3 minutes before the end of the exam]
"This year seem to be a promising bunch!" said a feminine voice in a darkly lit room surrounded by multiple monitors showing live feeds of the examinees in the Battle centres.
"Yeah, too bad they all got overshadowed by that one kid in Battle centre B" said another voice this time, that of a man.
"Don't jump into any conclusions yet. The boy stopped trying to gain points after he reached 127, so there's still a chance for others to take his spot as the top scorer" Said a lazy monotone voice, as everybody else in the room nod to his statement, knowing that the real test is just about to begin.
In the Battle centre B, all the examinees were giving it their all to gather up as many points as possible when all of a sudden a loud rumbling can be felt coming from underneath them. As they all look around, they see that the crater that was made by one of their competitors started being split in half.
"The ground is opening up!" said one of the examinees, as they see the shadow of the enormous Zero-pointer robot begin to loom over them.
Amongst all the examinees who took the exam, there was only one thing that went through their head. 'RUN!"
"RUN FOR IT!"
"Let's get out of here!"
"EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" Screamed some of the participants, whiles trying to get away from the robot and leaving behind anyone who can't keep up.
Whilst everyone was starting to run towards the nearest exit however, the gigantic robot pulled back arm and launched a powerful fist that destroyed the building besides it, and scattered the debris from the building to fly and fall everywhere, including some of the participants.
Izuku saw this and just as usual, he instinctively jumped in, getting as many examinees out of the rubble before handing them over to others and returning to save more.
Every trip he makes, the Zero-pointer gets closer and closer, and when the time came to save the Brunette from earlier, who also happened to be the last person under the rubble, the Zero-pointer was only a few meters away from them.
Hurrying, Izuku immediately tries to lift the enormous wall of concrete that was pinning her leg down, but it wouldn't budge. 'What the heck?!' Thought Izuku, he had carried heavier things during his 10 months of training with All Might, so why couldn't he lift it?
Thoughts filled Izukus head, as he tries to come up with a solution on how to save the girl, but then he remembered that the girl can control gravity!
"Hey you!" said Izuku.
"Huh? Me?" Replied the Brown haired girl.
"Can't you just make this weightless?" he asks whiles still trying to lift the wall of concrete
"I Did!"
"Did?" asks Izuku, raising an eyebrow. "Then why isn't it weightless?!"
"I don't know, I tried to make it float, but it just crushed my feet even further!" she said, panic clear in her voice as the Zero-pointer keeps approaching.
"Just leave. A few more seconds and I'll be nothing but a bloody stain on the ground, at least save yourself" she said with her head down.
Seeing this, Izuku stop trying to lift the rubble and walks off.
"Yeah, that's good. Save yourself" said the brunette.
"you know" started Izuku, catching the girl's attention. "We're gonna have to work on your Quirk a lot when we get out of here"
"Wait, what?!" she said/yelled whilst looking behind her. He was walking on the opposite direction! Towards the robot! "What are you-?!"
Before the brunette could finish her question however, a powerful gust of wind hits her in the face, as a cyan blur shot off the ground and towards the Zero-pointer's face.
"ITF Hyper speed & Jin Hwechook" Uttered Izuku as he stomps his rigth foot whiles slightly twisting it onto the ground, and using his left foot to perform 'ITF Hyper speed' , to amplify his speed and jump toward the Goliath's face, before finally channelling the full force of the recoil he gathered from burying his foot earlier to the ground, up his knee, pelvis, waist then to the tip of his foot, and executing a Hwechook.
After Izuku performed the Hwechook in front of the enormous robot, a vortex appeared underneath it, lifting it up, before turning into a full blown cyclone and blasting the robot out of the battle arena, completely tearing it to pieces.
After landing behind where the robot used to be, Izuku looked back at the girl he saved. 'Good she's still alive' he thought before fainting and falling to the ground face first.
Using a Renewal skill at full power, or at least the full power he can currently output due to his body's weakened state, was already bad enough, but sloppily mixing it with an ITF one was just plain stupid of him and impossible for Izuku's body to handle without severe drawbacks.
[Meanwhile outside the Battle centre]
The other examinees were flabbergasted, they were speechless at the sight of the completely destroyed Zero-pointer. 'What the hell kind of monster could've done that?' They all thought 'Could it be?'
Looking at the Battle centre gates, they saw a brown haired girl limp out with an unconscious cyan haired boy who's arms are slung behind the brunette's shoulder.
As they all looked at them in disbelief, the brunette also proceeds to look a the cyan haired boy she's holding in amazement.
'Yup, hard body' she thought before asking somebody to help her and the boy, she could no longer take feeling the boy's muscles and promptly passes out in front of the crowd.
[Meanwhile in the teachers' judges' observation room]
The U.A staff of pro heroes and practical exam judges are currently losing their mind after seeing the cyan haired boy blow their gigantic Zero-pointer robot, their 'Goliath', out of their city replica with one attack.
"What the hell was that?" Said one of the judges.
"Nobody told me he could do that" said one of the pros.
"Is this a big deal?" asked All Might with an internal smirk, feigning ignorance despite already knowing the answer. He wasn't hurting anyone after all, he just wanted to hear how great his student was.
"Yes! Yes it is!" said one of the pros.
"The Zero-pointer has 2 functions in these exams" said a pro with a lazy and monotone voice. "One is to give students the opportunity to earn rescue points, and the other function...is to find new potential star students. Destroying a Zero-pointer is something that even some of the top 50 pro heroes have trouble doing, so if we can find a student who can accomplish such a feet then he'll immediately receive enough rescue points to pass. But still...every student who does it, always struggle to do so, but one Destroying it with one punch is unheard of. The only other people who could probably do it are the top 10 pros."
"So you're telling me...what?" continued All Might, wanting to hear more praises for his student.
"Urgh-" Grumbled the lazy voice, before walking off and leaving the room.
"That kid...is near top 10 heroes level" said one of the heroes, granting All Might's unspoken wish.
"And at such a young age too~" Said the feminine voice of a pro, whiles licking her lip.
"Sometimes I wonder how we still haven't gotten a lawsuit because of you" deadpanned another voice.
"Oh, you're just jealous~!" Replied the feminine voice.
"Yeah... No" The other voice said, as he also proceeds to walk out the room.
