THE BIRTH OF A HERO.


MUSUTAFU SCHOOL PARK:

"Enough of this Bakugou!" yelled a 7-year-old small greened-haired child. He held his fist protectively in front of another boy who had been beaten up by the class bully, Katsuki Bakugou. However, that put him in harm's way as well, the blonde already preparing to blast him out of the way.

"Out of my Deku, you can't do anything since you don't have a Quirk." the blonde sneered as small sparks crackled in his palms. However, Deku, whose true name was Izuku Midoriya, stood his ground. ''Not when you are hurting people!'' he yelled, hoping to draw the attention of the teachers. He could have sworn one looked their way but just turned around a continued the conversation they'd been having to Izuku's anger and disappointment. So much for that. Izuku would not receive any assistance, he had to stand against the now-enraged Bakugou.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you!" he yelled as proceeded to charge at Midoriya who looked ready to defend himself.

Around 10 Minutes had passed as Bakugou had left Izuku bruised as he sat on the floor panting for breath while his face darkened. He stared at the ground wondering it all came to be. The answer lay in their DNA. Had past scientists been asked what they believed the next step of human evolution would be, none would have proposed a mutation allowing for superpowers. And yet, this strange phenomenon had occurred and was eventually referred to as a 'Quirk'. At least eighty percent of the world's population had one which began in Qing Qing City which was the Capital City in China as the first Meta Ability was manifested by a newborn baby who could radiate light from its body.

Despite being born in the 5th Generation of Quirk-Users, Izuku Midoriya was one of the unfortunate 20% to not be born with this Meta Ability making him below the food chain of Quirk Society. This was due to him being born with extra joints as genetics plays a prominent role in a person's Quirk Factor. Even if both parents have a Quirk, that doesn't mean their children will. Both of Deku's parents had special abilities, yet he wasn't given any which made him Quirkless.

''I'm sorry Mrs. Midoriya, but I'm afraid your son is Quirk less.''

As Izuku Midoriya stood up with an angry expression on his face, he realized the gruesome realization that every child eventually comes to understand as he grows up.

'All men are not created equal.'

That was the harsh and bittering truth for someone at the age of Four to accept, but he knew that if he ever wanted to achieve his dreams of becoming a hero, then he will do it on his own. Besides, it was obvious that those around him would likely just laugh and tell him he was going to fail anyway. Not even his mother believed him. Izuku Midoriya was aware of the harsh conditions that would be in his way, however, he had made it clear to himself that nobody will stand in his way of achieving his dreams and he would dam if anyone prevented that from happening.


EIGHT YEARS LATER AT ALDERA JUNIOR HIGH:

Izuku Midoriya walked down the street, making his way to Aldera as he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by his signature bright red high-top boots, which have thick white soles and black laces along with his yellow bag. He was in his last year of junior high school and was aware that they were going to be reviewing their high school applications. He had applied to the U.A., the best school on that side of Japan, even though to his annoyance that most students would make fun of him due to him being 'Quirk less.' He looked at his watch and quickly panicked. He was Five Minutes Late!

WHOOSH!

A rapid, short breeze, and he was gone.


IN ALDERA CLASSROOM:

Midoriya sighed in relief as he gets to class in time. Luckily the teacher just waves him off and he got into his seat. Just as he was settling in the teacher slammed a stack of paper on his desk.

"Now that Midoriya has graced us with his presence," He said with heavy sarcasm drawing out laughs from the class with Midoriya silently groaning in slight embarrassment, "We will be discussing your futures, but I assume all of you want to be Heroes?"

Sure, he's most of the time interested in everything about Heroes, after all, it's one of the only things that get him to feel emotions, rest of the time he's just bored, but he just dislikes the fact that people like his old bullies can get Hero Licenses. It was just plain annoying and absurd.

To become a Pro-Hero, students in training must pass a Hero Course during high school to get a license. One thing that stayed the same, however, was the Hero rankings. Heroes will get ranks depending on how good they are if they were advanced.

As he filled in new entries into his Hero Notebook #13, he overheard his classmates discussing something about their heroes' careers.

"With a Quirk like mine, I'll make it to Class-1A!"

"Eh, not aiming for the Top Five?"

"Nah, that would be impossible. I'll just settle for the top 10 in U.A."

"I heard Midoriya's applying to U.A."

"The most prestigious school in the whole of Japan?! No Way?! What's on the world is that dumbass thinking? Did his brain got messed up or something?''

Midoriya twitches his eye in annoyance and anger. Even though he had gotten used to these types of comments from his classmates, it didn't change the fact that it irritated him most of the time. Why couldn't people understand that Quirks do not make a person's worth? Being a hero does not mean putting on a hero costume and getting all the attention or any of that garbage, it is about putting your life for those who cannot defend themselves for crying out loud!

Izuku Midoriya sighed as he looked at his left hand, even though he had gained insane strength due to his brutal training for the last 3 years, he had decided never to show it off since he felt it would do more harm than good. It'll land him into trouble which would stain his record and likely reduce the chance of him getting into the U.A. Even if the bullies like Bakugou and his group of 'Extras' deserved it considering he had put up their garbage for 11 Years. Plus, he had made a promise to himself that he would use his newfound to help people.

After the admissions were completed, the lessons went on as usual and when the bell rang, he quickly packed his bags and zoomed out of the building at normal speed. There was a sale at the local supermarket today and he can't miss that. Not knowing what was coming to him.


MUSTAFA STORE:

Izuku Midoriya whistled in delight as he saw the price of the pork he was holding, ¥100 per gram. He stuffs it into the basket and continued looking for other groceries. He went over to the milk section and tried to decide what milk he should buy.

"Whole or Low Fat?" He mutters repeatedly as he looks at each carton before deciding on the cheapest, Whole.

After that, he went over to the cashier and dump it on the counter, as the cashier scans each product, he searches his wallet for the money to prepare the payment needed.

"That will be ¥2,500 sir." The cashier asks politely as Izuku hands over the appropriate amount and walks out in a good mood. Today had been great, Nobody -including Bakugou- had not approached him today and he scored a good price for his weekly groceries. All in all, it was a very good day.

"Look out!"

As he turns in response to the warning from the small crowd, he saw a green sludge monster approach him at high speed with a sickening grin on its face. Instead of being scared, he merely had an annoyed expression on his face as he placed his hand on his forehead.

"Great, a hostage! Thanks for not running, that'll put him off my back."

PUNCH!

The punch was so fast no one saw it, but everyone saw the monster split apart and cover the entire area with a green substance.

The crowd was stunned at the display, but Izuku just ignored them and head to the train station, he needed to head to Musutafu for a huge sale. He wasn't aware that All Might was chasing the villain and arrived after he had left. "I am he-!" He pauses when he saw the Monster already defeated as his expression looked confused. "Uh, what just happened?"


INSIDE THE TRAIN TO MUSATUFU:

During the train ride, Izuku sat and played a game on his phone, it was a very casual model nearing an artifact, an iPhone which was still advanced. Since his mother has a job that pays a decent amount, they had to spend on medium goods. Also, this phone was the only one that could withstand the shock waves of his punches, so he doesn't need to worry about replacing it after a fight.

BOOM!

But in the middle of the train ride, there was an explosion, and then the train skidded to a halt. The passengers started panicking but Izuku had a look of indifference. He looks at the map of stations on the train and saw the light at Antoine Station glowing yellow, looks like he was near his stop. He looks at the phone's clock and started panicking.

3:50 pm?! The sale's going to end in 10 minutes!

He looks at the train conductor trying to calm everyone down, "Sir, why is the train not moving?"

"It appears to be a villain attack! Please remain, calm everyone, there are currently Pro Heroes on the scene. We only need to wait until the villain is defeated so we can move again."

Izuku looks at the clock again, ''Is this a Joke? I can't waste any time!'' He went over to the door and pulled it open surprising the passengers, he ignores them and jumps off the train.

He then starts running, got to get there quickly. There's premium beef for sale! 6 minutes left!

BANG!

He turns to look for the source of the sound of an explosion and then saw a district of the city on fire, with his vision he could see multiple Heroes as well as the villain they were fighting.

Wait, isn't that the villain I just fought? How on Earth did it get here so fast?

Unbeknownst to him All Might, in his normal form, was panicking as he looks at the scene. He had found the Villain he was chasing had already been defeated, he wanted to look for the person but was rushing so he just stuffs the villain in a bottle and ran to deliver it to the Association branch in Mustafa. but somehow mid-jump the bottle came loose and fell, due to the momentum it flew for a while before landing in an alleyway. Now the Villain has taken a hostage with an Explosion Quirk, allowing him to fight off the Pro Heroes.

Now he had run out of time, cursing the Pro-Hero Association for not thinking of putting a branch in Atollon City. He can only hope for some Hero to show up to save the boy.

'I'm Worthless.' All Might thought shamefully thought. 'Pathetic...'

Meanwhile, Izuku was still confused but then with his hearing, he heard a cry coming from the Villain, looking again he saw a boy his age trapped inside the Villain.

BAKUGO?!

Izuku was stunned to see his childhood bully here, and more importantly, being held, hostage.

He was trying to blow apart the Villain with his Explosions but instead, they were redirected to hit the Heroes.

''That is not helping the situation at all.'' Izuku thought as he started to get worried, the sale will end in a few minutes. He could leave the Pros to do something, as it was their job after all, and he was sure there was more coming their way. He was aware that if he punches the villain with all these witnesses and in front of Heroes, he would be detained for public Quirk use even if he doesn't have one and nobody would believe him if he said so. He was already fighting crime in his vigilante persona without a Pro-Hero License. On the other hand, however, he could not just leave and let Bakugou be held hostage as he would just die from suffocating.

As he is lost in thought, he then notices the look the fearful at his childhood bully one last time, he looks like he was asking for help. The same face he had used to make whenever he was in trouble.


WITH BAKUGOU POV:

DAMN! This isn't how I die!

Bakugou sends another explosion, but it was again redirected. He saw it blowback Death Arms.

Oh no, this can't be how I die. Not against a Sludge Villain! He thoughts, No, I'm the future No.1 Hero! This piece of crap is not going to kill me today!

But as he says that he could feel himself slowly blackout. He was losing consciousness more and more.

"Don't worry kid, when you die, I won't just throw away your body. It's going to help me kill All Might."

Like hell, it is! And sent an even bigger explosion but all it did was cause more collateral damage.

No, no, no, NO...Can't...keep going...I'm going to die? I...need...help...

And then something grabbed his hand. He looks to see a vaguely familiar person.

"Wait a minute," the villain said, "IT'S YO-!" But didn't finish because the figure tore Bakugou effortlessly away from the villain. Bakugou started to breathe harder and looks at his rescuer and his jaws almost drop the ground at the familiar face.

DEKU?!

"DIE!" The villain shouted as he swung his hand towards Izuku.

"Sorry, but I'm going to have to vent on that," Izuku replied without any sort of emotion as he raised his moving fist and contacted the villain.

PUNCH!

Suddenly, a humongous shock wave erupted from his arm and sent the villain away in pieces, as well as extinguishing every fire in the vicinity.

"Can't believe I missed a sale for this..." He mutters annoyingly as he wipes the slime off his fist and leaves before the reporters could interview him.

As he quickly left, Bakugou stared in shock as to what happened.

He wasn't the only one, All Might's jaw dropped at the sight too.

"What the hell just happened?!" Where both their thoughts.


NEAR THE MUSTAFU TRAIN STATION:

"Stupid Sludge Villain," He mutters bitterly as he walks to Tatooine Train Station, "That was a huge sale, now I have to wait until next year." At least he still has the groceries from the other shop. He had unfortunately missed the Bargain Sale as he was 10 minutes late.

"DEKU!"

"...Oh No, not him of all people. Could this day be any more eventful?"

Izuku groans in annoyance as he recognized his former childhood bully's voice from behind. He had to leave earlier to avoid the press and he was not bothered to deal with Bakugou's repulsive attitude. As Midoriya grew older and focused on his dream of being a hero, he had come to understand the difference between a healthy and toxic relationship as he realized there was not any hope of having a decent conversation with Bakugou at all. As far, as he was concerned, they were not even considered friends anymore. There were only a few times the two would interact with each other and most of their past conversations would include Bakugou expressing foul comments or even trying to insult him verbally whenever they did run to each other, but it would not go anything beyond that.

If Midoriya were still a child, he would have been very nervous and frightened around Bakugou and his presence. However, he had grown older and more confident with himself and his abilities that he wasn't Imitated by him at all. Besides, in each of their encounter, Midoriya would silently sigh at his former friend's immaturity. Needless to say, Katsuki Bakugou has always been a source of conflict in Midoriya's personal life.

Ever since Bakugou's Quirk "Explosion" manifested, he became so prideful and so egotistical that he thought highly of himself. All the praise he received from everyone around him got into his head, making him see other people in his life as inferior as he called them "Extras". And if anyone ever got in his way, he would lash out shouting at them thinking they are looking down on him. He also tended to disregard the notion that Quirks shouldn't be used in public and usually activate his Quirk for several reasons such as intimidating someone. Nobody around him apart from his parents bothered to correct his behavior which really did not help matters at all. While Midoriya grudgingly admitted that Bakugou had a lot of confidence in himself into becoming a Hero, it did not mean he saw his flaws. However, some of the school teachers did not think the same way as a few of them would just turn a blind eye to actions which caused Bakugou's attitude to become even worse as the years went by.

Sighing in defiance, he casually turned around and saw Bakugou running toward him in anger despite him slightly panting for breath.

''What do you want Bakugou, I'm not in the mood with dealing with you or anyone else?'' Izuku replied with a bored tone with a tint of annoyance in his tone as he just wanted to go home and rest.

BOOM!

Midoriya leans backward avoiding an explosion from him and looked angrily at the raging blonde.

"Hey, what on Earth is your problem-?" But he was cut off as he had to dodge another explosion again.

"You Bastard! Did you lie to me all this time? You can't get a Quirk once you get past 4 years old!" And sent more and more explosions that were easily dodged.

"Look, if you keep doing this my clothes are going to get burnt," Izuku complains as he easily moved out of the explosions which were coming at him.

Was he looking down on him? "YOU BASTARD! QUIT LOOKING DOWN ON ME!" And performed an axe kick on his head, only for it to be dodged again and his eyes widen when Izuku held his fist out.

"Checkmate."

…And then his genitals hit the fist.


FIVE MINUTES LATER:

"I AM HERE!" All Might shouted as he appeared around the corner. He finally tracked the kid, and after seeing the power the kid displayed, he wanted to talk with him. After all, that power was comparable to One For All. He also wanted to offer him to be his Successor.

He went around the corner hoping to finally see the kid but only found the blonde boy that was held hostage cradling his genitals and muttering curses for someone called Deku.

...What in the World did I just Miss?!
