Izuku Midoriya stood on the rooftop of his school, vacated by students who eagerly left as soon as the bell rang.

Go take a swan dive off the roof, and pray that you'll get a quirk in your next life!

Midoriya looked down. His school building was pretty tall...

He wasn't doing it for a quirk in his next life, no.

He was doing it because he was sick and tired of the ridicule.

A person cannot be a hero without a quirk.

Said his idol, All Might.

Izuku Midoriya teetered on the edge of the rooftop.

And jumped.
