Author Notes: this is a "My Hero Academia (Boku no Hiro Akademia) fanfiction story. I claim no rights, or anything associated with this series as they are rightfully owned by Kohei Horikoshi. This is an AU story that I came up with after seeing the images of Izuku looking like a snake. Some of the abilities and attacks that Izuku will have either come from other anime/manga series (so please don't hate). The images that I will be using aren't mine as I got them from the web so all credit goes to them. Warning before I begin, it won't be exactly like the series as I did change things to make this story my own. First thing is that Katsuki Bakugo isn't a bully to Izuku as he is a true and loyal best friend, second thing is that All Might never gives his quirk to anyone nor is he injured or getting weaker, third thing is that Izuku's have a quirk will have abilities similar to that of Mina's and Asui's but very different in the way that he uses it, and fourth thing is that I will be not having four people in the story because I don't either like them or don't find them useful for this story (Yuga Aoyama, Koji Koda, Toru Hagakure, and Minoru Mineta). Please be sure to leave your thoughts and comments telling me what you think of the story as I greatly appreciate the feedback. Question: should Izuku get One of All or should it go to Katsuki Bakugo or Mirio Togata? Your answer will help me with the upcoming chapters.

Chapter Three: robots and meetings

Izuku changed into a comfortable set of workout clothes that was made to suit his quirk for when he transformed into his half snake form. Izuku saw that the boy with the glasses was in his group along with the nice girl whom used her quirk on him at the entrance. Izuku was tempted to go and talk to her and wish her luck but, the boy with the glasses stopped him.

"She looks like she's trying to prepare herself for the exam. You shouldn't disturb her." Izuku turned glaring at the boy causing him to back up away from Izuku.

"Stop making assumptions. You have no idea what I was going to do." Izuku hissed angerly as he walked away from the boy. Present Mic appeared as he wished everyone the best of luck before shouting out the word "go!"

Izuku took off as he transformed into his Slithering Snake Mode making his way into the arena grounds. Izuku had his Retractable Claws out as he used Acidic Poison Claw to destroy any and all robots that he came across. He was quickly ranking up points as he noticed others were doing the same. After a while Izuku could feel the ground shake beneath his scales. He could see the other participants running away from what was dubbed a zero pointer as it made its way into the arena. Izuku didn't budge from his spot as his keen ears heard the soft cries for help. Izuku's keen eyes could clearly see the girl whom helped him out earlier trapped under some rubble caused by the robot as it looked like it was going to step on her. Izuku reacted quickly as he coated his body in Iron Skin before he quickly made his way over towards the robot and the girl.

"Acid Shot!" hissed out Izuku as he unleashed a powerful blast of acid from his mouth. The acid hit the robot causing it to melt as it suddenly exploded.

Izuku had wrapped the girl up into his scales protecting them both from the explosion and melting robot. After everything that had happened as the alarm sounded off, Pro-heroes and teachers came down when they saw what happened from the exam booth.

"Young ones are you all right?" asked the familiar voice belonging to that of All Might as he lifted the rubble away from Izuku. Once free from the rubble, Izuku slowly unwound himself revealing the slightly chubby brown hair girl. The girl looked at Izuku with wide eyes. Izuku gave her a fanged smile before he transformed back to normal.

"I guess that we are even now." he stated. The girl nodded her head that she understood Izuku's statement as she was then lead off to a nearby nurse's station. Upon seeing All Might, Izuku smiled.

"It seems that our paths cross in the most interesting ways." stated All Might.

"It seems that way. I read what you wrote in my book. Perhaps we can meet at Dagobah Beach." Izuku stated as he gave All Might a piece of paper that had his phone number on it. Izuku then went off with the medics as they wanted to check to see if he had any injuries because of what happened.

A couple of days later Izuku received a text from an unknown number.

"Come down to the beach." it simply read. Almost instantly knew whom the text was from. Izuku quickly grabbed the notebook that had information about All Might in it. Izuku then ran downstairs quickly grabbing his shoes and putting them on.

"Mom... I am going out as I will be right back!" Izuku called out. His keen ears heard his mother's reply before he ran out of the house. Izuku quickly made his way down to the beach as he didn't see All Might but, rather a skeletal-looking man. "All Might?" Izuku questioned when he didn't see anyone else there.

"Hello Young Midoriya. I felt that it was better for me to appear here in my true form rather than in my hero form." replied the man. Izuku nodded his head understanding considering how popular All Might was. No one would expect a scrawny man to be the number one hero.

"What do I call you while you are not in your hero form?" Izuku asked.

"Torinoshi Yagi. That is my true name. I was a bit surprised by the notes how close you are to what my actual quirk is."

"All I did if I am honest is make a few observations. I had noticed that even though your quirk seems more strength based, it has more aspects of a stockpile quirk that you use to enhance your strength."

"You aren't wrong with your analyses. The truth is that I was actually born quirkless. The quirk that I have and currently wield was given to me. It's called One for All. It is a quirk that continues to grow every time that it is passed on. I am the eighth user of this great quirk. That's why your notes about my quirk surprised me so much. You have a very keen eye and intelligence. Was it something that you are born with?"

"Ever since I was younger, I have been able to figure out a person's quirk after only seeing it once. I have been able to figure out its strength and weakness. Ways that the person could strengthen their quirk or use it better and abilities that could help them out." Izuku answered honestly. "Are you sure that you should tell me the truth about your quirk."

"Honestly... I think that you have great potential as it seems that you do have multiple quirks. When the time comes for me to pass my quirk on to the next successor, I would like for you to be the one who inherits it." Izuku looked at All Might with surprise on his face.

"It would be a great honor to inherit your quirk All Might. But, what if there is someone else who is more suited to gain your quirk?" Izuku asked.

"Well that's the brilliant part. You can help me train them. Not only by strengthening their quirk but also helping them with One for All." answered All Might.

Izuku understood what All Might was saying. Since Izuku's keen intelligence and deduction on quirks seemed to be so well versed, it would make sense to not only have Izuku gain a powerful quirk like One for All but, also help train those whom do inherit the quirk. Izuku didn't know if there was reproductions on gaining a foreign quirk. Let alone Izuku wanted to learn more about the other holders of One for All.

"All Might... I will help you out but, right now I don't want to inherit your quirk. Not until I learn more about it and its other users. There seems to be more to this quirk than meets the eye." All Might's eyes widened when Izuku said this. He couldn't help but to be amazed by this young snake-like boy whom seemed to be like a very rare gem. All Might could already tell that Izuku was going to become a great hero as he displayed aspects that he hasn't seen in such a long time. This is part of the other reason why All Might wanted for Izuku to be the ninth holder of One for All.

"Very well Young Midoriya. I will teach you all that I do know about One of All and its past users. But first... I want to give you this." Yagi stated as he pulled out a letter from his pants pocket before handing it to Izuku. Izuku took the letter opening it up. "Congratulations on passing the entrance exams of UA. You have received the highest scores that has ever been seen in the history of UA." All Might stated. Izuku's eyes gleamed with excitement when he read his scores. Near perfect scores on the written exam, sixty rescue points for saving a student during the exam trials, and eighty villain points for destroying the robots. His scores got Izuku into the hero course as he was in class 1A. Izuku was so excited that he couldn't wait to call and tell Katsuki about his results from the entrance exams.
