What have I gotten myself into?

by bajy

Is anyone really ready to suddenly become the main character of a story? No. Is anyone really ready to suddenly be yoked out of their homeworld and suddenly be transported to another? No. Is anyone really truly ready to be thrown into action, suddenly gain powers and realize the future is now in your hands? Absolutely no! How will adventurous Poca survive this? (Izuku X OC)

2. Establishing her course

Here's chapter two!!

Oh and by the way, to anybody who gets any more funny ideas to post any inappropriate comments on my stories again and not an actual review, I ask you please do not ever do that again! Stop it! It is extremely inappropriate, very gross and foolish!

Seriously, how would you guys feel if somebody did that to your own stories? So not cool!

People work hard to make great entertaining stories for others, so writing those kinds of inappropriately nasty things, for advertising or otherwise (Especially on stories that aren't even close to being rated M), is not okay!

To whoever wrote those things that I have already long since gotten rid of, please do not do that to me or anybody else again, because if not me (As I am more forgiving and anything BUT hostile) then somebody else will call the authorities on you.

Ok?

Now on a lighter note after that little message there, I hope all of you are having a good day and I hope the rest of this winter will be well and good with you and your families!

BTW, I had meant to post this a few days ago but I just ran out of time each time and it was always around times where I got so sleepy that I needed to Go to bed or otherwise I would fall asleep while working, again.

Now on to the next chapter of this story.

Enjoy!

"Dear diary,

The craziest thing has happened to me! Even more crazier than anything else that has ever happened, even crazier than the one time a traveling gang of troubadours had to bunker down in our orphanage due to the fact that there was a storm so bad that they couldn't travel normally on the roads for days.

Which is still pretty weird as when you think about it, who sees troubadours now these days? The only time I would ever see them is either in a game or on TV, that was until that time 3 years ago.

Anywho to make the long story short, I was making my way to the entrance exam for the school that I wanted to go to and then out of no where a portal opens up and I fall in, and I end up in a white space, started collecting these weird colorful orbs only to later find out that these are actually individual quirks and now I have them all inside of me, basically making me a counterpart of Izuku Midoriya.

Yes you heard me right, sounds make believe and cheesy I know, but I'm telling you the truth that I ended up in the world of one of my all time favorite anime, My Hero Academia.

And on The day of the UA entrance exam no less. I even got to meet All Might (who caught me) as I got flung out of a portal and he even gave me directions to the train station.

So now I have a new mission, since in this situation I have full knowledge of what's to come, save the future and be a hero to everyone.

No pressure or anything...

Thankfully I had time to get to the train and somehow still, while Ken The dragonfly went to survey the area and spread the word to any other insect out there about everything, have time to find a new place to live with many convenient places to shop and then some after helping to quickly solve a case for the guy running the place, to eat at and to grocery shopping at and such, get a new unused phone from a garage sale and a few other items too, suddenly adopt a pet Pomeranian with a quirk who will also be my partner and do a bit of research to help me for the exams all before the actual exams begin.

It's all just cray-cray..."

'Which is exactly what I'll write once the day is over.' Poca thought to herself as she stood in front of the gate to the very school itself.

Yeah no joke that's exactly what had happened after she had gotten off the train as she recollected what took place after the train ride.

Ken went to do his own mission while she was left to her own devices, promising they'd meet again at UA later, If not at the entrance then just before the practicals began.

Poca was More than happy to not only have a translation quirk in her repertoire, but she had also already learned how to speak Japanese and sign language in both English and Japanese while growing up, so Even if translation was suddenly turn off she would still know how to communicate without any issues (Still just because she has a quirk that can make communicating with other people from other countries around the world easier, it doesn't change the fact that she would have to still look into the books on those languages if her quirk was suddenly shut off and she was in a foreign country someday so that she won't be lost, Not wanting to take the chance that if translation goes then her knowledge on how to speak those foreign languages because of the quirk will go too, whether that's true or not she doesn't know yet).

After a bit of looking she found a small but cozy looking two story apartment complex (One that actually reminded her of the one she always saw from Kotaro lives alone (Don't worry folks She always covers her eyes whenever the MONETARY bathing scenes came up)), And according to her findings there were two unoccupied apartments that she could choose from and thankfully these apartments had showers so She didn't have to worry about going to a bath house to do any bathing or so.

Upon meeting the landlord though she, as she decided now would be a good time to put down her hood allowing her hair to be free from it yet still somehow remained the same as it had despite having been stuffed into the hood like discarded packed-in hair in a bird's nest, could tell that something was wrong and so she asked what was going on, and it turns out that something was haunting one of the unoccupied upper story apartments. No matter how hard the guy looked he couldn't for the life of him figure out what was causing the mishaps that he had been facing for the better part of a month from spooky mishaps to booby traps, the family that used to live in that apartment had to move out because things were getting bad from that and due to other issues they were already facing. Leaving a good part of their belongings behind just to escape, things were so bad that nobody was able to rent it let alone for long without suffering any mishaps themselves and being forced to leave almost as quickly as they moved in (though thankfully none of them had to leave their belongings behind like the first family had).

Of course just because she doesn't like the supernatural genre doesn't mean that she believed anything literally haunting could happen in reality like vampires and werewolves and like, so She volunteered to check it out, to which the man was both baffled and fearful for her, others have tried but ultimately failed (some even came out with a few injuries here and there), although she did assure him that everything would be all right.

It was only by chance that she came across a strange fellow going into his apartment next to the one that she was going to investigate, something about him, she could tell, was off.

He was carrying some rather suspicious items, and after some investigating upon entering the apartment it only confirmed what, no who, was the true cause of all the terror as she immediately told the landlord who, enraged, called the police as he had always been suspicious of the guy, Kiye Moshito, but never had any actual proof, and thanks to her, via taking photos as evidence, he could finally evict the guy and have him arrested for all the trouble he caused.

Moshito was a jerk and did all he did just to be a jerk and have his sick entertainment for laughs, Not caring at all how much trouble he had caused for others, let alone how much physical and psychological harm he caused them, which only made his arrest warranty even worse, especially so when he realize that yes he was going to go to jail, if not prison, and started crying like a baby begging the police not to, Even offering up a big bribe just so he can go Scott free, but nobody listened as to his horror that only made his list of crimes even worse.

The landlord, Shinichi Haiko, in deep gratitude allowed her, upon hearing her request, to stay there for free for the first 2 months, To which she was stunned but otherwise grateful.

Thankfully the apartment that the guy was terrorizing was still in pretty good shape, just had to remove the traps and the gimmicks and the apartment looked like it was completely normal again.

'Good thing I'm already good at finding things... for more then one reason.' She thought in gladness.

Upon calling the first family who had to move out, And who wanted to be informed of the situation going forward, to inform them that The situation had been resolved at last, they were grateful but otherwise declined moving back as they already found themselves a new comfortable neighborhood to move in and had already long since replaced their furniture, they had already long since taken their personal belongings so they didn't have to worry about needing to come back to grab anything.

Upon seeing the opportunity to not have to worry about buying furniture, Poca had requested to move into that same apartment, because not only would this be completely convenient for her but this would also show the other tenants and newcomers that everything was back to normal so they wouldn't have to worry, which the landlord accepted.

Sure she would need to do some grocery shopping later on but that can be worried about after the exams are over.

The apartment itself was in her opinion perfect, a decent sized bathroom, two bedrooms, a nice living area / kitchenette with a good working quality fridge, stove/oven, boiling pot, rice cooker (Although she knew that getting an extra one wouldn't hurt in case something came up or so, but she'd worry about that later) and microwave, A little slot so she can receive the mail from the door, and The windows had some decently nice views to look out of. Pots and pans, utensils and dishware, a little shoe cubby with guest slippers, umbrella rack, Little air conditioning unit, low table and seat cushions, a small but good quality TV and a small entertainment center, curtains in every room, A small couch, futons and desks with desk lamps and seat cushions for them too, good size closets and small dressers, a Small but good size washer and dryer for laundry with the bells and whistles required for both, a laundry basket dolly that could be used for carrying loads of clothes to the laundromats or for clothes shopping if required, towels and bath mats, Even all necessities needed for bathroom and shower use were there too.

And thankfully there was no food of any sort inside the apartment that was left behind because otherwise it would have been a big stinky mess to clean up after.

She couldn't ask for more.

After getting all the paperwork done and getting the keys, Poca dropped off her moving bag (Which was the black bag), carrying only her school backpack with her with all the things needed for the written part of the exam, as (After making sure everything was locked up and making sure her last name was on the name plate) She checked the time, happy that she still had enough time before the exams as she decided to take the opportunity to look around the area so that she would know where she was...

...And also grab a bite to eat because now she was really hungry, undoubtedly because of the quirks she had she needed much more nutrients than normal... That and she only had that pink lady apple for breakfast and a small snack She had on the train ride earlier, which wasn't much...

But before she could leave to check out the area, she ran into an old lady that was having a small "everything must go" garage sale, to her surprise she was able to find a handful of things that she would definitely need plus, to her surprise, other things that really caught her eye that she had always wanted, a nice winter coat, a rice cooker that was in great shape as it had hardly been used, a snow globe that also functions as a pencil/pen holder, a new hard cover guide book on Japan, a big hard plastic box (with a lid) full of Legos (friends edition, one of her personal favorites), a mini pocket Periscope and last but most certainly not least, an iPhone (Google Pixel 3) and laptop which were both completely new and unused, in fact they were still in there casings.

All these things were actually the last things she was selling.

As Poca was counting up the cost, the older women then stopped her, telling her that she didn't need to worry about paying as at this point of time she has acquired more than enough money to donate for her granddaughters college funds, And so generously, greatly so, decided to let her have all of what she had left for free as a "Welcome to the neighborhood" gift as well as a "Thank you" gift for getting rid of the nuisance that had been causing them and the landlord such trouble for quite a while, much to the younger girls ever rising shocked as she asked her if this was really, really okay, to which the old woman said yes and insisted.

Poca really could not believe it and yet it was happening, this was indeed one of the most generous things anyone has ever done for her.

The younger girl couldn't remember another time she had profusely thanked somebody so much that she was in tears before today, but nonetheless She would forever be grateful to the kind older woman as she took it in stride.

After dropping off her new things in her new apartment before locking it up again, and putting on her new winter coat which was a really nice dark blue Athleta Downtown Puffer Parka coat as it was now starting to get even colder despite her own tolerance towards cold temperatures, Not to mention that the adrenaline from earlier made her resistance towards the cold even higher until it finally started to slow down enough that she actually started to notice how cold it actually was (Plus the coat itself was big, long and thick enough that it would prevent anybody from trying to figure out what uniform she was wearing when she wasn't wearing anything but the clothes she was currently wearing), She soon set off to get a look around her new neighborhood and finally grab a bite to eat.

To her surprise but otherwise relief and joy, The small apartment was close by to several places such as a Goodwill, a nice small Japanese restaurant, laundromats, a small convenience/grocery store, a dollar store, book shop, and even a library. There was even a pet shop close by as a plus.

It was just too good to be true and yet it was all just perfect through and through.

Once she had a mental map of the area, The hunger in her stomach soon made its very loud presence known as she couldn't help but blush when the practical roaring of her stomach was made known, thankfully she was alone otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

'Better go eat before my stomach starts to eat itself.' She thought as she quickened her pace.

Upon entering the restaurant, which was called: Simply Japanese with Me, she saw the menu and she was able to get as much food as she could get all at a seriously cheap price.

Thank you $1 menu items.

Two small simple bowls of Oriental ramen, four small beef buns, two small simple rice balls with Tajin, and a tall cup of wild Sweet Orange tea with lemon. And for dessert, two plain sugar cookies.

I know that's a pretty big meal, but given the fact that not only was she starving and she only had very little breakfast that morning, and the other fact that in this case she was feeding for two which was both herself and her quirk as it needed the fuel she needed for the test ahead of her, she's going to need all the energy she's going to get... That and a few other factors you'll learn soon enough.

To say she never felt more replenished and filled up in her life would be accurate, sure her new quirks had contributed to it but nonetheless the food this restaurant served was extremely good, were she a food critic She would give it five stars.

And she managed to eat it all pretty quickly, sometimes in a way she was like Scooby-Doo, She had a high metabolism so she could easily pack it all in without gaining any weight. Nonetheless she savored each and every bite she took.

And the restaurant staff there were very nice too.

After leaving a tip on her table for the staff, she left as She knew she had to go to the library, immediately checking out a book on the history of Japan knowing that that was going to be an important detail for the exam.

Before she could however, she soon found herself right in front of the pet shop, unable to resist her urge to come in, especially seeing all the cute animals, she soon entered and she was immediately in cuteness Paradise.

So many kitties and puppies, so many adorable little canaries and parakeets, hamsters, guinea pigs, sweet little mice, fluffy little bunnies, mischievously funny ferrets, and so many interesting reptiles and very pretty fish (Even the common goldfish and such still looked happy in her eyes).

She couldn't help but fawn over every little animal to which this only made the staff chuckle in amusement.

She couldn't feel embarrassed at her own reaction as she'd always loved animals, almost as much as insects.

She had wanted a pet since forever, but she knew she could never have one given that human foster homes foster children not animals, And a number of them that she's been to won't allow pets, It was sad yet it was still understandable.

But now that she has her own place to live (Which will allow pets to stay), And despite other things going on in the background, she could finally have a little animal companion of her own.

Yes she was aware that she will have a bunch of little insect friends to keep her company, but to have an animal friend right by her side would also be nice too.

You can never have too many friends after all, human, animal or even insects.

She soon heard a distinct barking from a dog as she was pulled away from looking at the fish to turn to the direction of the barking.

And she immediately felt like she was going to literally explode from overloading cuteness as her eyes soon laid on the dog, Which was in a loan display space for itself, that had gotten her attention was a fluffy white male Pomeranian pup which had Rose Pompadour eyes and a cute little black button nose.

What stole her heart even more was the fact that this pup looked exactly like Pometaro, the dog that got adopted by Hanzawa from the spin off of Detective Conan, Case closed: the culprit Hanzawa (which is available on Netflix).

Upon confronting the pup, ready to give the little guy attention, she was quite literally taken by surprise when without warning the Pometaro twin literally popped out of its glass cage and into her arms as she caught him before he could fall as he immediately proceeded to start licking her face affectionately as this caused her to giggle, his tongue apparently being ticklish to her as he was kissing her with as much love as he could pour out.

This only made the staff laugh as it was equal parts funny and adorable.

Eventually he stopped and promptly chose to snuggle in her arms as she snuggled back.

It was as clear as day that this pup had a quirk, one that allowed him to teleport from one point to another with ease. And the staff confirmed it as It had only manifested not long after the pup had reached the age for adoption for puppies.

Apparently also, according to the quirk Animal vet, this quirk allowed the Pomeranian to be a bit smarter than most dogs, He was well behaved and he even understood things more, even that he had a quirk and how it worked.

For some weird reason, nobody wanted to adopt him, Even though there was literally nothing wrong with him, His quick made him unique but other than that he was a normal dog (albeit above average but still), And worse of all their boss doesn't tolerate quirked animals, in fact he hates them, and told them that the pup either must get adopted as soon as possible by the end of the month or they will send the pup to the kill shelter.

Poca was horrified by that.

"How can anybody be that heartless?!?" She had exclaimed in outrage.

The staff agreed on that, but their hands were tied, There was nothing they could do to stop it, the man wouldn't even allow staff to adopt the puppy themselves as he would promptly fire them, and they really needed this job as finding a new one would be a huge challenge. The end of the month was drawing close and they didn't know what to do, feeling heartbroken that nobody wanted to adopt him let alone that there was nothing they could do to stop their boss from going through with his demands.

Even the pup in her arms understood a situation as he whimpered in despair, Which really broke her heart more.

Poca, in an act of desperation to save the dog and determination to give this little one a chance to live, with such finality in her resolve, proclaimed that she would adopt him. That he would be her little buddy and she'll even make him her animal hero partner as she was planning to take the UA entrance exam today.

At first the staff thought that it was crazy, maybe impulsive, and most importantly quite out of the blue, But nonetheless they could see that she wasn't going to back down even if she herself was surprised by her own reaction and so they agreed.

Knowing that this was the only way to save the little puppy from an early demise.

Apparently their Boss didn't care whether or not payment would be required for adopting the pup just as long as it was out of their hair so she was able to adopt him for free, including getting a few necessities she needed for the same thing.

She named the dog, Pometaro, after the dog from her favorite funny yet short-lived anime. Soon enough he was sporting a brand new bright red color with a silver tag that had his name and the phone numbers (both her real and the number she was going to use for her new phone (Which she had been told of by the old woman earlier)) on it as well as the address.

Engraving on the tag thankfully didn't take as long as she thought it would as one of the staff just so happened to have a quirk made for that, and so it only took a single minute to get it done which was a plus in her book.

The man's quirk made him perfect for this particular job, he even had a twin brother who had the exact same quirk as him, which was super rare for twins to bear the exact same quirk as the other, as his twin was working at a really nice jewelry shop in another part of the city, said twin offered his brother a job there if things go south although the wait list to get the opening for the shop apparently was about a year long as they were already dealing with other things on their end And there was only a 20% guaranteed that the brother would get a job there if things went bad. Even if having both brothers there would be a great business opportunity for the jewelers, their rules were pretty strict and even they couldn't argue with their boss on it.

The girl can only give the man her condolences which he appreciated.

The other things such as dog food, treats, dog bowls, dog toys, dog bags, dog shampoo and conditioner, dog bush and toothbrush, and even a cute doggie sweater vest She had requested would all be sent to her place as she was on a time crunch although She stuffed a few of the dog bags and one of the bags, a small pocket sized one, of dog treats into her pockets just in case, to which they agreed as they proceeded to pack it all up in one box so delivering it to her place was a breeze.

She kept a leash too (but kept it off for the time being) as she didn't want to get in trouble with the authorities, after all was done she said her goodbye and left the store.

A minute after she left she asked herself if she was crazy, perhaps maybe way too impulsive, but she argued that it was the only way to save the puppy as he was way too adorable and wonderful to be put in a kill shelter all because of something that wasn't his fault.

There was no turning back, There was no way she was going to abandon the puppy, she'll fight tooth and nail if she had to in asking the school if she could make her new animal companion her animal partner.

Upon being asked if he wanted that, he barked happily, wagging his little tail in excitement and proceeded to pop into her arms from the ground and started kissing her again, she giggled as she knew this was a yes.

Thankfully she didn't have to worry about feeding him as he already ate just before she came in so, upon looking at the time, knowing that she was getting a little closer, she quickly proceeded to sit at a nearby bench and skimmed through the history book she just checked out from the library before going into the pet shop.

She honestly hates just skimming through important information, but she knew that beggars couldn't be choosers given the time.

She especially wanted to learn more about Japan's current history with all the quirks that had come in hundreds of years ago, but again she knew she was on a time limit, she would have to take the time to actually read it properly after the exams were over.

All the while the dog sat by her side quietly and calmly, surveying in the area all the while.

After a while she managed to get through the entire book, only half satisfied at having finished it while she still felt displeasure in just simply skimming through it and not actually taking time to read, She could only hope that she memorized enough that It would be passible for the written portion.

After placing the book back in her backpack she took Pometaro into her arms and quickly ran to UA.

Mid running, the pup promptly popped out of her arms and onto her left shoulder as he perched himself on there, he even had a good firm grip so that even if she was moving he wouldn't fall off, It may seem odd to others but to her it felt nostalgic, almost like she were a protagonist in an animated cartoon.

Upon arriving at the gates She took the time to stop and catch her breath as she had been doing a lot of fast moving all over the place, hardly allowing herself to catch her breath, Even as other kids her age pass by her she didn't pay them any mind as she focused on breathing deeply and exhaling so that she could stop her heart from pounding so fast.

It seemed like the adapting quirk kicked in as it didn't take her nearly as long as she thought it would as her breathing quickly went back to normal as well as her heartbeat, In a way that made it feel completely natural instead of something that wasn't and would have negative effects on her.

Finally she stood up straight and looked towards the main gate, instantly finding herself in awe at the site before her.

The school itself was amazing, it was beautiful, the architect was just absolutely impressive, the show itself let alone manga and pictures by themselves don't do the real thing any justice, that was for certain.

The place was so big that it made her feel like a tiny ant, She couldn't help but wonder just how many students would be able to fit into one school like this, definitely way more than schools in America back in her world, That was sure.

Sadly though, as much as she wanted to stay there a little while longer and admire it more, she understood not to waste time as the puppies barking brought her out of her awestruck daze.

Just then she saw someone pass by her, someone all too familiar as she looked and her heart skipped a beat in shock.

'There he is! Izuku Midoriya!' She thought to herself as yes she knew that green hair, yellow backpack and red shoes anywhere.

The main protagonist of My Hero Academia, All Might's successor, the future hero for all, and her number one favorite character from the show.

She hastily ran to catch up with him as he too stood before the school, But was thinking about him having to swallow the hair and having doubts about when it will kick in.

Though that was the least of his worries in her opinion, as there were a few more concerning matters at hand.

He still neither had social skills (due to being bullied for being quirkless for years) nor any control of One for All as he literally got it a few short hours ago by All Might.

Not to mention that he had little to no fighting skills for obvious reasons.

She had to help him. Especially in getting his quirk under control quickly and thus ensure that he could get a better score from the practical part of the exam, and hopefully lessen Eraserhead's ire, at least a little, and, most prominently, spare him from suffering too many broken bones and thus leading to them becoming weaker to the point of risking never being able to use his limbs ever again.

She knew at least enough self-defense to help her get by, hopefully after the exams she'll be able to teach him (If she can manage to become friends with him), maybe even recommend him a dojo or some kind of self-taught lesson videos to help him.

Plus, It would be good for him to have a friend at all before the new school year starts, cause everybody needs somebody right?

"Stupid Deku." Came the voice of one person she absolutely wanted to strangle right now.

Who cares if he had a redemption arc going forward, right now he was still a grade A jerk.

Of course it's Katsuki Bakugo.

Like in the anime upon hearing his voice the greenette turned to look at him, Not noticing that someone else was behind him.

"Oh, Kacchan." Izuku said in surprise.

"Get out of my way now before I set you on fire." The explosive boy threatened, though In a cold yet calm way.

But before the greenette could even say anything in startled fright, He was immediately surprised to see a light brown hair girl step in front of him and outright say, "Uh dude, He's literally not even in front of your direct path. He's on the side so How on earth is he in your way in any manner?"

"Back off ponytail, My business with Deku is none of yours or your mangy mutts!" Katsuki spat as he gave her a death glare.

But to everybody's surprise, especially the two boys, she didn't back down nor replied in how anyone would expect from that, instead she said with a very bored, unimpressed expression: "Sorry, someone else already has that Nickname. Try again."

And Pometaro barked as if agreeing with her.

Izuku looked at her, stunned at that comeback, Baffled by this really as He couldn't remember another time somebody responded in this way. Ever.

Katsuki, who stopped at that, on the other hand, looked at her incredulously as if asking if she was serious before he simply huffed and walked away, not sparing any of them a second glance as He didn't want to waste time arguing with a girl and her dog just before the exams, although briefly in his mind he wondered why she had a dog with her. She doesn't look disabled, not that he cares.

Poca let out a sigh, Just being in front of that boy made her feel tired and none of them even got into a full on shouting match, in her mind however she thought, 'I knew it was unavoidable, but I don't regret it, I'm not going to let him torment Izuku anymore. I've dealt with bullies before, he's no different even if he does have the literal power to explode me to smithereens'.

She soon turned to Izuku as she asked him, "You ok?"

Izuku just looked at her in stunned awe, Not believing she had said something like that let alone intervene and made his former childhood friend just simply walk away without going into a shouting match of threats or worse, get exploded by him.

Blinking hard before suddenly being startled by her dog, who was previously on her left shoulder, as he literally popped into his own arms as he caught him just before he could fall as he started to lick him, trying to make him snap out of it, which had already worked from him simply teleporting into his arms like that.

The boy yelped but at the same time chuckled from being licked affectionately like this.

She now regretted not bringing her phone, either of them, because this was just too cute, indeed she'll look back on this day and rue that she had forgotten to bring one so she could savor the moment.

"Pometaro, give him some space boy!" She exclaimed in giggles from this as this made her Pomeranian pop back to his previous post.

After wiping off the saliva residue on his face, it suddenly struck him like lightning as he immediately asked her in shock and excitement, "Your dog has a quirk?!"

"Yup." Poca replied, already prepared for him reacting to that for She knew that he loved quirks and analyzing them especially, "Pometaro's quirk is a teleportation one that lets him pop from one place to another, how far that range goes is still unknown. This quirk somehow also allows him to be a bit smarter than most dogs so he can understand what everybody's saying quite perfectly. His quirk is called, "Poppin'."

Izuku's eyes lit up in sheer excitement as he instantly pulled out his notebook, Writing notes as he exclaimed, "That's so cool and super handy! Teleportation quirks are extremely rare these days, and the fact that an animal has one let alone has one that allows it to have more intelligence than most of their kind is quite phenomenal and almost unheard of. Considering he's with you right now I can only assume that you're planning to make him your Animal Hero Partner."

"That's correct." She readily replied as she then added, "Not only is it handy for surprising enemies out of nowhere, but it will also allow him to reach places that most people cannot from their normal sizes alone since he's small enough to crawl in through spaces or simply teleport into spots where others are not able to for one reason or another. He would also be great for rescue operations as due to him being naturally adorable it would help calm civilians down if they're already panicking, it would especially be helpful if children are involved as children normally love animals so him being an Animal Hero Partner will make things easier down the line. And due to him having very keen senses, he would know if something was off, be great in helping investigations and finding things and people."

"I agree. Not to mention that Pomeranians are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world, nobody would be able to resist him, he could even serve as a distraction with his appearance alone against the enemies so you could strike in to knock them out or apprehend them. They may be small but they're both very energetic and protective of their owners, And having a quirk will double both 10-fold." Izuku said as Poca could practically see smoke coming off from him writing so furiously.

In her mind she wondered how the paper he was writing on hadn't gone up in flames yet, He's writing faster than a roadrunner with its tail on fire.

However, mid writing he then stopped as he looked back up, Surprised that she was able to follow him quite easily despite him going into a muttering storm (again) and even contributing to the conversation too with such readiness that he's never seen in anyone around his age.

She didn't even look disturbed nor disgusted by him taking notes, on the contrary, she looked quite happy to contribute to the conversation, her face showing fascination for his analysis.

Even giving him such a friendly smile that he's never seen anybody, around his age, give him, one he hadn't seen in any of his peers in ... ages.

"You're pretty smart. And your analysis is really amazing." She complimented him with such genuine hope, "People often forget that knowledge is power, and when applied to heroics it can make them quite strong and versatile, and not just in the body or even in the quirk alone."

Izuku could only blink several times as he nodded knowing that she was right.

"I have no doubt that with the kind of know-how you have, you'll make a great hero." She told him, her smile practically shining like the sun.

Izuku was more surprised, feeling a kind of warmth he's never felt before from Someone around his grade, let alone a girl, feeling a sort of weight lift off his shoulders as he couldn't help but feel like he was going to tear up from being complimented happily and given such genuine praise without even one trace of spite or malice.

She didn't ask about his quirk like most kids around his age would, and just focused on his skills in quirk analysis, and not only was able to follow his train of thought but also was able to add more to the conversation without skipping a beat.

It was the first time someone like this approached him with kindness, protected him from potentially getting threatened more by Kacchan, had asked him if he was okay, and started a conversation with him without asking about his general quirk or status background.

It... honestly felt like a breath of fresh air for him... relieving really...

He was pulled out of his daze as she handed him a handkerchief as she told him, "There's no need to cry, it'll be okay."

Her dog barked in agreement.

With such assuring compassion he had no doubt that she would make a great hero herself.

It felt... nice, receiving such a thing from someone like her.

He sniffled as he gently accepted the handkerchief before dabbing his eyes to stop himself from leaking out tears, the metaphorical weight that he had always felt for years, one of many actually, finally lifted from his shoulders, feeling a sense of freedom He can't remember feeling any other time before, it felt... good.

Once he was sure he wouldn't cry again, he handed the mostly damp handkerchief back to her as she accepted it and stuffed it into her left coat pocket.

"My name is Pocahontas Zaira Laith, But please call me Poca as my name is way too long to say, I just got here from America not too long ago." She introduced herself, then did the same for her dog, "And as you have already heard, this is Pometaro. My future AHP," She then asked him, "What's your name?"

Izuku was a little startled but he fought back his jitters as he said through his stuttering, "m-mi-Midoriya. i-i-I'm Izuku m-mi-Midoriya. It's ni-nice to m-me-m-meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too Izuku." She said in stride, "And please pardon me calling you by your first name, since I'm from America I'm more used to calling people by their first names rather than their last names."

"R-r-right!" He answered with a slight blush. Still nervous but at the same time understanding given that most Americans are used to the normal customs back in their home states. The same goes for Japanese civilians if they decide to go to America they would be used to the default in addressing people by their last names rather than their first names unless they're already familiar with them to the point of friendship or even family.

Eventually the two of them were made aware that they were drawing attention from others, more particularly Poca because of Pometaro.

Mostly hearing them whisper along the lines of her having a dog with her and, mostly the girls, whispering at how adorable her dog was.

This made the two teens blush in embarrassment.

"We should head inside before we die of embarrassment or before we're late." Poca immediately said as Izuku agreed with her.

Pometaro nodded in agreement as The trio began to make their way to the doors, only for Izuku to trip over his own feet and started falling to the ground.

'Or I'll just die.' He moans in his head, immediately accepting defeat even before he could get started.

But then after a moment he realized he wasn't falling anymore but was simply just hanging near the ground, like somebody turned off the gravity on him.

And indeed somebody did.

"Are you ok?" A girl asked him, giggling as this made him start flailing in surprise.

But he soon stopped as he was placed back on his feet by Poca as they both turned to the girl who stopped him from meeting the ground face first.

'Ochaco Uraraka, right on time.' Poca expected as the zero gravity user placed her hands together via the fingertips as she turned off her quirk and said with a smile, "I stopped you with my quirk, I'm sorry I didn't ask first. But I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you."

"It's ok," Poca told her, smiling back at her, "Thank you for catching him. Tripping and falling before an important exam is not a good first impression to make, let alone how one wants to start their day. I'm rather clumsy myself so I know this only too well."

Ochaco giggled again as she nodded saying, "I agree, and yeah being clumsy can have its downsides."

"Don't I know it." Poca said in return.

Izuku, still dumbfounded but otherwise stiffly nodded as he stuttered out a "T-t-thank you."

"You're welcome!" Ochaco replied, nodding back.

Which only made him blush again, not used to being thanked by a girl.

"Anyhow, we better get going. See ya!" The newcomer said as she waved to them both before running to the building.

All the while Izuku shouted in his head in disbelief, 'I can't believe I talked to not one, but two girls in one day!!'

Only Poca understood what was going through his mind now, she knew it sounded silly but given his rough childhood, could she blame him?

She understood given what She can only imagine what he's been through since he was diagnosed as quirkless years ago.

'If I ever see any of those idiot faced jerks I'll pile drive them into next week!' She silently fumed in her head in anger and disgust at their actions towards the poor boy. And as for the doctor? 'Dr. Ujiko, As much as I never want to meet you in person, like ever, a part of me is still angry at you for everything you've done! And not just how you treated the poor boy that day 11 years ago! If I ever get my hands on you I'm going to make you feel every ounce of pain you made every person go through, verbally physically and otherwise!'

"She is right Izuku," She decided to cut in, stopping her train of thought before she could think any further knowing that they couldn't waste time now, and not wanting to be in a bad mood later, "We better get going before we're late."

This ultimately snapped the boy out of it as he fervently nodded before they made their way towards the building.

---

'Okay I'm pretty sure at this point none of this is a coincidence whatsoever.' Poca thought to herself as She looked around her, surrounded by thousands of teenagers and was sitting next to Izuku as he was sitting next to Katsuki.

This was a one in a million chance that she would be sitting next to him and his bully.

As Pometaro sat on her lap, obediently staying quiet so to not cause trouble for his owner, nonetheless that didn't stop him from looking around here and there with all the activity going on.

Poca still recalled what took place earlier before this.

Poca had convinced Izuku to go ahead to one of the stands to get checked in while she took another to save time.

He was a little hesitant but eventually agreed as they promised to meet again soon enough.

Once he was gone the true reason for her wanting to separate soon surfaced as she internally started to panic.

'What in MHA am I going to do?! I have no record of existing here! And even if I could appear as a new participant, What are the chances of them accepting a very late participant who hadn't registered early like everybody else has!? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!!?!?!' She screeched in her head as she furiously rubbed her hands through her hair, trying to think of something, anything, that could help as she walked further away from the other students that were already in crowded lines at the other stands and as most were more focused on getting registry done and everything so no human noticed her odd reaction.

"Are you ok my dear?" Came a voice that made the girl and dog yelp before they hastily looked around before their eyes eventually looked down and met the eyes of none other than the principle of UA high himself, Nezu.

'Please don't ask! Please don't ask! Please don't ask! Please don't ask!!!!' Internally she panicked and pleaded for this as she spoke.

"I-i-i came to take the exam!" She managed to squeak out, forcing herself to speak through her nervousness and fear, "B-B-B-But I don't know if I could be accepted given the fact that I never made any registration ahead of time. a-a-And I know this seems completely out of the blue but i-i-I've been having a very chaotic time since arriving in Japan recently and getting here so... yeah.."

'I'm pathetic! I'm doomed! I'm a coward!' Internally she reprimanded herself looking like a scared 5-year-old asking for permission to go to a scary house on their own to prove they are brave only to actually show how scared they really are.

"It's no trouble at all my dear, In fact you're not the only one who's making a registration this late in the game." The principal assured her.

"Say what now??" She asked, both incredulous and baffled.

If the confrontation against the explosion King didn't cause the sound of a record scratching sharply to emphasize the shock to happen, then this moment most certainly would do it.

"Indeed it's what I said, by my calculations you're the 110th person in the same boat today who has come in to register." The hybrid told her, His smile calming and his voice assuring so the girl wouldn't panic anymore then she already was, "In fact, I'm the unofficial extra staff member in charge of registering participants in that category. If you can follow me I can get you the papers you need to get yourself set up. And given the fact that you have your dog with you, I assume that he's not ordinary by any means."

She, though stunned, seriously shook her head as she replied, "You're correct, Pometaro has a quirk that allows him to teleport from one point to another. This quirk also makes him a little more intelligent than most dogs and he's well behaved. I would like to ask if i-i-i could have him as my AHP."

The principal nodded as he led the way to where he was stationed, telling her that he would be more than happy to allow it as it wasn't every day he got to register students who wanted to have an AHP with them, which made a wave of relief come forth for the girl, making her woes and worries finally go down.

Once they were there, Poca was given the paperwork she needed to register while Pometaro, ever curious about the hybrid and most likely excited to meet another quirked animal, popped in front of him as the principal volunteered to keep an eye on him while she did her paperwork so there would be no distractions, to which she agreed and thanked him for his generosity.

She was only grateful that she took the time to ask the librarian earlier what the date was, feigning that she's been so stressed that she forgot what the current year was, to her joy the lady did not mind and told her so she was able to calculate when the year of her birth was if she had been born in this world.

And grateful still as she was able to experiment a little bit here and there even before she skimmed through the book she had checked out so she could understand her quirks more before then.

Everything else was easy, then came down to what her quirk was. After some pondering she then figured out the solution.

On the section that identified her quirk and description of it she wrote as follows:

Swiss army knife (Also known as Multi-Tool)

Much like one of those pocket items with multiple tools to them, this quirk has multiple powers in one quirk.

A super rare quirk that's kept secret to avoid unnecessary attention especially from those who would bear ill will towards its user.

Due to this quirk having only manifested recently there's still much research that needs to be done.

These "tools" are as follows:

Translate - Allowing the user to understand any language out there, no matter what kind.

Water - allowing the user to manipulate and control water however she sees fit, From freezing to heating to absorbing water and manipulating anything that has water in it, and so much more. Cannot produce water on their own and must require already having water somewhere for this to be used. Healing is also possible with this. Whatever else this power is capable of doing has yet to be recorded. And it is unknown yet whether or not this is affected by the fazes of the moon much like waves in the ocean are.

Healing - Can heal from any injury so long as it's recent, how far that goes and how much can be healed has yet to be determined. However recent study has shown that if Water and Healing are combined they can both heal wounds more quickly, efficiently and powerfully done before. Though it is unknown whether or not regenerating lost limbs or organs is possible with this.

Insects - Can control and communicate with insects of any and all forms. Can even telepathically communicate with them. Perfect for reconnaissance, stealth, scare tactics and Intel gathering, and swarming enemies with them. Since most people are afraid of insects this gives the user a real advantage against anyone opposing them.

Detector - Able to detect whether anyone is telling the truth or not so long as it's verbal. It is unknown whether or not this will work over the phone, video call and if it'll work through sign language. Although unlike some quirks of a similar caliber to this, the user is able to turn it on and off whenever they feel they need to, Although if really emotional the power will remain on or turn on automatically without consent.

Adaptation - Able to adapt to things quicker than most others can. How this works depends on the situation in general. This also grants them a temporary stat boost when required, Like if the user wants to be able to run faster than normal, this quirk will give said user an extra speed boost enough to be faster than most can run quirkless (Even those who have worked out for years in a gym to be in top form she is able to outrun them), For example. What's more, If, say, The user wants to see into people's memories, then simply mixing Adaptation and Detector will allow the user to have that ability (Although specifically it helps the user look for specific memories in the mind), The same goes for if the user wants to be able to find people or things they're looking for, thus allowing them to create a sonar sensor to help them to find things at a great distance. Detecting anything abnormal in a person regarding their health or mood can also be achieved. Everything varies depending on the case in mind. There's still much to learn regarding whatever or not there are other things the user is also capable of doing. On a side note, This quirk also allows the user to learn things more quickly without many issues. Although if critically emotional the results will vary depending on the subject, If stress is controlled then good things will come from it.

Hope - If the user has any form of hope, this can allow good things to happen, and if mixed with adaptation and/or detector it can allow the user to achieve even more than the user can ever think possible. Such as temporarily slowing down time, creating energy shields, and allowing the user to extend the range of sonar and memories, as previously noted, then ever before. Telepathy is also possible with this power. Again this all depends on what's going on and what the situation is. What this quirk is capable of doing also has yet to be verified.

'If not for my quick thinking in experimenting beforehand since getting on the train, this would have been a big metric load of trouble to deal with later.' She thought to herself as internally she let out a sigh of relief.

Doing a once over to make sure that everything was in order before handing the papers back to the Principal as Pometaro took the cue to return to his designated perch as the principal accepted the papers and started to look through them.

Poca couldn't help but feel nervous, hoping she did everything right, hoping that he wouldn't ask any suspicious questions, especially at the fact that on the topic of family she only put in her grandfather as for all she knows he was still alive somewhere out there even though he has been missing since she was a child.

More on that another time.

The last thing she wanted was people questioning whether or not she was an orphan, which technically she was, or any questions really as she was too hesitant to speak about her full background let alone scared to.

She was surprised that the principal was a fast reader, but given the fact that his quirk was "high specs" It only makes sense that with him being smarter than humans this would allow him to read things at a much faster rate than most people could unless they had a quirk similar to his in that regard or if they truly have a natural gift of being able to read fast.

Once he was done he simply laid the papers on the table, stapling them together before pulling out a seal which he promptly stamped into a spot for it, thus giving her his approval to register.

"Your papers have been accepted, please proceed to the examination room so you can begin the written part of the exam." He simply told her as a bigger wave of relief overcame her as she had to stop herself from tearing up as she quickly nodded, thanking him before going in the direction of said room he told her of.

Gratefully that part was easy as all she had to do was follow the students that got the approval.

To say it was tough would be too pathetic of a word to describe the written portion itself.

While some parts were easy such as math (mostly) and English literature, And normal Japanese history before the emergence of quirks and the like. Other parts were quite difficult, such as history regarding quirks, anything relating to politics and The history of heroism and villainy, including hypothetical situations on how to tackle problems.

When it came down to questioning how certain quirks can be applied into scenarios and what to do in situations if she were already a hero and such though, it was equal parts easy and at the same time tough.

Nonetheless, she didn't give up even when she felt frustrated at herself. She worked diligently, carefully but quickly so that she could get done so that she can hopefully have enough time to be able to talk to Izuku and help him get control of his quirk quicker so he could be a little more ready for the practical part of the exam as she could see at the corner of her eyes that he was fast in getting answers down.

To her it was no surprise given how intellectually smart he was so this part of the test was a cakewalk.

She worked viciously to get the answers down, trying to put in as much careful effort as she could, trying not to sacrifice earnest effort for scrambled hastiness.

Just before her hands were ready to quit on her from how hard and viciously she was writing, to her relief once more she was able to finish about a second after Izuku had.

And She couldn't describe how grateful she was that her future partner remained quiet and well-behaved throughout parts she knew would be very critical, He was definitely getting extra treats later.

Others were still writing as the two of them were quietly told by the man in charge of this part of the exam, Who was Vlad King (Which for Poca was a relief as while she had great admiration towards Eraserhead, she would rather not have him giving her a glare that made her feel like a timid 5-year-old this early), to leave so that the others could finish and to wait until they got the go-ahead to make their way to the auditorium.

Once out of the room, as soon as the door closed before them, Poca made her move.

"Izuku."

The boy turned to Poca as she gestured for him to come closer so their conversation wouldn't be heard.

At first Izuku blushed at the implication, but upon seeing her deep look of serious concern he was able to calm down enough to do so as she then whispered.

"You only just got your quirk today didn't you?" She asked, though it almost felt like she was stating it more than questioning.

Izuku flinched back violently in shock but before he could shout she quickly slapped her hands over his mouth, immediately shushing him, telling him not to scream, Telling him that she had an explanation for how she knew.

After a few moments of silence, he eventually nodded, though shakily, as they huddled closer and she told him:

"A part of my quirk lets me detect things and I could tell that you only just got your quirk today, and I can also tell that it's extremely powerful and that given the nature of it you don't know how to control it, let alone how without risking an injury, not yet anyways."

And she wasn't lying, using the combined combination of Adaptation and Detector she was able to detect this, thus making it more truthfully genuine, she was only glad that she didn't look any further than on the surface otherwise she feared she might have gotten a severe headache as Wow the power levels were off the charts!!!!

The last thing she wanted was to implode her brain.

Izuku, Still shocked, otherwise nodded, both in defeat and in fear.

"But I can help you control it!" She proclaimed with assuredness.

He perked up in surprise as he looked back at her, who gave him a helpful smile as her eyes sparked with determination.

"You're not the only one who is adept in quirk analysis," She told him, placing a hand over her chest, where her heart was, as she continued, "I do know a thing or two about it. And even those who are usually adept at it need a helping hand from another now and then. I know how you can activate your quirk and use it without accidentally hurting yourself."

"You do?" Izuku asked, Still shocked but otherwise hopeful.

"Of course." She promised him, "And before you say it, no this does not count as cheating, this is a fellow hero in training helping another in need, that also means giving them a few tips on how to control their quirk properly and efficiently so there won't be mishaps later. We help one another, that's what heroes do, right?"

He pondered about it before he nodded knowing that she was right, being a hero was more than just helping civilians who needed help, it also meant helping out your fellow heroes too, no matter what it may be.

And if he wanted any hope in making sure he didn't blow the practical due to a lack of to no control of One For All, then he was willing to accept her help.

If her quirk was capable of detecting such things, then it will make it easier for them to figure out how much power he can wheel currently without risking an injury.

Moving further away from the door to give them some space, the two began their little session as she told him, "Think of your quirk like the heat gauge from a gun or super power attack in a video game, go all out too quickly and there will be trouble. You got to start out small and work your way up, see how far your body can take it before you start to feel any straining. And don't just channel it into one part of your body, channel it throughout your whole body to distribute it evenly, it'll feel more natural that way, start it 1% and work your way up. Reach for that power inside and concentrate, The moment you feel any form of pain just stop, There's no need to risk your physical health for the sake of progress, Got it?"

Pometaro barked lightly, agreeing with her from his humble perch.

He nodded as it made sense. Going all out right away will only lead to a world of trouble he'd rather avoid right off the bat, How she explained it made perfect sense as in a way his quirk was like that.

And like other teenagers he too has his own fair share of games so he knew exactly what she was talking about, including some that have that specific kind of gauge or mechanic at certain points in levels.

Closing his eyes he did as she instructed, internally he reached out for the power inside, a moment later he felt the power start to come to him.

Slowly he started to let the power flow through his body, starting at 1%, it felt foreign and yet it felt right, he was briefly amazed by how it felt as it almost felt like putting on a warm comfy blanket, wondering if this is what it felt like to have a quirk, But he stopped himself from thinking further as he knew he needed a concentrate. Distractions won't help, He can think about this part later.

So far so good and his body didn't feel any sort of pain, it really felt natural, experimentally he started to move his hands and feet slowly even with his eyes closed to make sure there wasn't any straining or pain.

It almost felt like electricity was coursing through his body, but in a way that felt more like energy than anything.

Soon he upped the power to 2%, still the same, then to 3%, then four, upon reaching 5% he felt a slight bit of strain but not enough to be uncomfortable or cause serious injuries, More like he was stretching himself a little too much But not enough to warrant any worry.

All the while Poca watched vigilantly to make sure he was doing ok, trusting him to not go overboard as she instructed as she had the sensor turned off for now, on the outside she was calm but on the inside she was smiling at seeing the familiar green electricity course through the boy's body.

It was only when he tried to go to 6% did he immediately stop, letting go of the power as it faded as he hissed slightly in pain.

It stung Yes, but he still feels okay.

He turned back to her as he told her, "5%, I was able to reach 5% without any problems besides only feeling a slight bit stretched, trying to go to six was what made me stop."

"Because you felt the pain and did as I told you," She deduced as she gave him a proud smile, voice filled with relief, "Good, I'm glad you listened."

Looking down at his hands, he slowly started to smile as he felt happy to have made progress before the next part of the exams came. If not for her help he would've undoubtedly badly hurt himself and left himself incapacitated and thus failed the next part of the exam.

If 6% was enough to sting much like pricking your finger on a sewing needle, but only if said needle had struck the entire body at once, undeniably going any higher would have caused more pain. How far and high that pain will be, he'll have to figure that out if push comes to shove. Or asked her if needed.

Looking back at her he smiled appreciatively as he said, "Thanks Laith, If not for you, chances of passing the next part of the exam would have been impossible."

She smiled back as she replied, "You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help." But then she told him, somewhat lecturing though gently and in a friendly way, "But remember, Just call me Poca, I honestly don't mind as I'm more used to being called by my nickname rather than the last or even my first. K?"

The boy blushed, still feeling a little uncomfortable as he's never called anybody by a nickname other than his childhood friend turned bully, but if she honestly didn't mind, If having friends meant something as simple as this then he will try, though that won't stop him from faltering here and there.

"R-r-right Lai-uh! P-p-Poca." He stuttered out, to which she gave him a glad smile and an approving nod, which helped him to relax.

Just then he saw as though a thought just occurred to her as she then told him, but serious this time, "Before I forget, let me give you one more piece of advice. There will be times you'll need to go all out if the situation is dire. And I know that in itself will be unavoidable. Nonetheless you need to understand when it does come down to it and not just go off willy nilly. If it does become that severe, channel more power into the smallest parts of your body in order to prevent yourself from becoming a liability, like channel it into your fingers and toes, That way even if they do end up becoming injured you won't be completely incapacitated. Only channel it into your limbs If you absolutely have to If you need a little more strength behind you. And don't do it at 100% immediately unless you Absolutely have to, Just reach for any power level between 5 and 100 so that way the aftermath won't be as grizzly even If it will become painful and even brutal. That way even if you do become injured it won't be as dire. There's only so much that the human body can take and the last thing you want is to permanently damage your bones from repeatedly breaking them to bits over and over again to the point of not being able to move for the rest of your life. And while I understand that heroes often make sacrifices for the greater good, You're still young, you have plenty of time to train your body more so you can wheel more of your quirk and learn more about heroism so that you'll be able to do things more efficiently. You won't be able to help others if you do not take care of yourself, and that also includes making sure you train properly and don't injure yourself too badly, continuously, and cripple yourself to the point of permanent damage. Letting yourself become reckless in that regard will only cause more harm for you in the future, not just for yourself but for others too. Everybody needs to take a break every now and then, even heroes and heroes in training, remember to let yourself recuperate every once in a while, otherwise It will lead to counterproductive progress or worse on your end. Got it?"

He was stunned by her concerns for him. Even though they only just meant today he could see in her eyes that she really does care about whether or not he was all right and in good shape or not.

She was looking out for him. Something nobody else around his age range has ever done since he was diagnosed.

It felt ... nice.. to receive that...

He...

... He nodded as she was right again, because it was all very true.

There's only so much that the human body can take before it finally collapses in on itself, and while endurance and pain tolerance can be built up, It should not come at the price of sacrificing any functionality in his body in the future.

And there will be times he will need to go all out, go plus ultra, if The situation was grim enough, but if he can do so in a way that it won't leave him as a burden and leave himself unable to help anybody and become an easy target for the enemy to kill afterward, then it'll help him in the long run.

He had to remember that he was still a rookie, both in training in how to be a hero and in using his quirk, he still had plenty of time before even thinking about the provisional license exams and such, He can take the time to train his body so that he'll be able to use more than just 5% without any problems.

Using a percentage outside of the safety zone only when absolutely necessary and understanding how necessary it was, let alone how much could be used without things ending badly for him.

KO-ing himself right away will only endanger lives rather than save them.

And... it honestly reminds him of the lecture that All Might gave him a few months ago about overdoing things, overwork will lead to bad progress, not taking care of himself will only lead to inadvertently harming his body more in a way that will be damaging. The line between upping one's training and going overboard has to be drawn, otherwise the consequences later would be too great to handle.

He learned that the hard way when he tried to secretly up his own training by himself behind his back, secretly diverging off the plans the man had originally made to try and make himself stronger, And in the end he crashed pretty hard for it.

Even just thinking about it now only made his body feel like it was going through it again as he couldn't help recalling the soreness, the pain, the overwhelming nausea and disorientedness that had hit him all at once there.

Everyone needs a break now and then, even All Might needs a break given his current state, he has seen that, He could not forget it.

He... It was the first time somebody told him that he needs to take care of himself more (but not in a bullying way) and to take breaks every now and then outside of his mom, and not just from his hero either, but from somebody around his age too.

How can he help others if he cannot take care of himself too? It's true that he will need to make sacrifices someday, but he needs to know when it's necessary, endangering his own life repeatedly will only bring ruination.

... At the end of the day they were all human, himself included, everybody is bound to get tired or hurt every now and then, everybody needs time to relax and recover. Whether you have a quirk or not, everyone feels the same thing. The same goes for him right?

... Being acknowledged that he was just as human as everybody else by her... It felt like ... nice...

Besides, now that his big 10 month training montage was over, he can now train at a slower but otherwise still productively good pace that won't leave him practically tired, sick and sore to no end like he had been feeling the past 304 days.

He wasn't on a huge time crunch anymore, sure he will need to learn how to manage more of his quirk before the new school year started if he does pass the exams, but he was no longer in such a big rush so he could afford that luxury.

"Got it." He replied after a long period of silence for pondering, He smiled at her again as he nodded and said, "Thank you."

She nodded back as she told him, "You're welcome... Dekiru."

This surprised him, well more than that actually, but not in a bad way.

She said... Dekiru... not Deku..

"You can do it"... not "You can't do it"... not "Defenseless Izuku"...

She..

Before he could think about it anymore however, Vlad King approached them both, gaining their attention, to let them know that the written part of the exam was done and told them the way to the auditorium so they could get started on the next part.

Although from the corner of her eye she could easily tell that the man really wanted to say hi to her puppy, maybe even cuddle and play with him, but couldn't as he had to remain professional. And she can't blame him considering that he has a dog at home himself.

Maybe they can work something out at the end of the day?

Poca had said Dekiru on purpose because she meant it.

She always hated Deku, as in "Worthless", like how Katsuki Bakugo had put it. She always preferred Deku, as in "You can do it", like how Ochaco put it.

Besides, Deku could also be short for Dekiru so That name can be taken and turned into something good.

If this was one of the ways she can also help Izuku, then she was more than happy to assist.

As stated before, it turned out that they were seated next to each other, which they found out on their way to The auditorium, It left them both stunned but otherwise made them feel glad so they wouldn't feel alone in a giant room filled with thousands of teens they didn't know (More for Izuku than Poca but still).

As expected it was going to take a while for everybody to find their seats before things could get started given the number of participants.

A number which the girl really did not want to know as she couldn't even think of how big that number would be for the exam every single year, Normal and otherwise combined.

Sure she could ask Izuku but she'd rather wait, at the very least, until the exams are over before even asking as the last thing she wanted was for her to be dumbfounded throughout the presentation and look like an idiot from the answer.

Upon seeing Izuku become nervous again, she gestured to Pometaro to give him some comfort, which he was more than happy to oblige as he instantly popped out of her lap and into Izuku's and started to snuggle against him, though he was startled by this he nonetheless started to reciprocate and pet him, his approving chirps (so to speak) slowly starting to help the boy calm down as the puppy leaned into his caring touch.

Katsuki, meanwhile, had been giving Deku a distasteful glare. Still despised him but Was mostly mad to be sitting next to him, although even he himself can't argue with the rules as if any students came from the same school as others they have to sit in a designated spot depending on circumstances, it was all at random and they had no say in the matter of who they sat with, whether from their school or from another.

They were the only two from their middle school who came so It could not be helped, but that didn't mean he had to like it.

Although He did see the girl and her mutt from before sitting next to Deku.

He was still annoyed by her from earlier. Baffled by what she had said, because yes It sounded odd and no one has ever answered him in that way, but nonetheless annoyed.

He was however, surprised to see her dog instantly teleport out of her lap and into Deku's.

'That mutt has a quirk?' He thought to himself as this was his first time ever seeing an animal with a quirk, Outside of the principal of this school But he hasn't met him personally so it doesn't exactly matter. Still he had heard about animals having quirks occasionally but this was his first time ever seeing one having such a thing. Though His surprise quickly dissipated as his scowl returned just as quickly, 'I only remember vaguely about something relating to some heroes having quirked animals as partners, she must be planning to make that mutt her future AHP. Pft, doesn't matter, they can drown in a tar pit for all I care with stupid Deku, I'll become number one and nobody can say otherwise!'

Upon looking at the girl one last time to give her a glare too, Katsuki was immediately surprised, no actually (And never thought this would be said for him), greatly startled to see her looking back at him and shooting him a quick but extremely venomous glare, like she absolutely Knew of all the crimes he'd committed, so potent like it really could kill him, so much so that he almost forgot where he was before it quickly vanished just as quickly as it came as she focused her attention on Deku and her dog. Smiling as the greenette was smiling at her dog, now calmer than before as if nothing happened.

'What was-!?' But his train of thought was interrupted when the lights finally turned off, indicating that things were about to begin as He chose to deal with it later.

Pometaro took that as his cue to pop back into Poca's lap, which he did as Izuku gave her a brief nod of thanks and she gave him a nod of your welcome before they turned their attention to the stage as, soon enough, a spotlight shined down on a podium where Present Mic, the voice hero, stood as The white backdrop behind him showed the logo for the school.

'Honestly I still don't think I want to know how much hair gel it takes to get all that hair to go up the way he makes it.' Poca thought to herself as she was still baffled by this after all these years, 'It still looks rather ridiculous to me no matter how iconic it is. Is his hair, or his skull, even still able to breathe from all that gel?!'

"What's up UA candidates? Thanks for tuning in to me, your school DJ." He announced with a flashy smile, "Come on, let me hear ya!"

But there was nothing but silence, it was so quiet you could practically hear a pin dropping.

'Sorry sir...' She silently thought in her head, somewhat hoping that he could hear her although she didn't have the telepathy part of her quirk on and she didn't want to get in trouble, 'Though seriously You can function as your own microphone without your quirk on as your voice is already loud, do you really need a mic stand?'

But he took it in stride as he continued, "Keeping it mellow huh? That's fine, I'll skip straight to the main show. Let's talk about how these practical exams are going to go down, okay? Are you ready?!"

Poca, right on cue, shoved her left hand over Izuku's mouth to stop him from muttering all together, which made him turn to her in surprise only for her to give him the quiet gesture with her right, silently telling him that it's best not to accidentally cause a disturbance around the other candidates for talking.

'By stopping him muttering here, Even though there's no malicious intent behind it, I can help him avoid getting lectured by Tenya.' She thought to herself as that always annoyed her, she always hated people accusing others of things they didn't do and not allowing them the chance to even explain themselves that it's not true.

Sure Tenya Iida was not a bad person, he was just a stickler to the rules and he tends to be a little too stiff and stern at times, but how he treated Izuku before, And the fact that as far as she recalled, he hadn't once apologized for his own behavior towards the greenette, Especially at drawing unnecessary attention on the poor boy, putting more stress and pressure on him than he already had to deal with, really burned her up something fierce.

She has been bullied before, and has seen many others get bullied and picked on too, even if some of the people's actions weren't malicious sometimes even good intentions can lead to consequences as some of those victims ended up becoming nerve-wracked and upset afterwards which wasn't good at all, Even to the point of becoming even worse than that.

'If that blue-haired straight laced roadrunner even thinks about accusing him of anything, I am going to throw the book at him.' She silently vowed as Despite her usually being very emotional, sympathetic and timid at times, and clumsy, The one thing she cannot tolerate above everything else is bullying and abuse of any form, In fact if there was a word stronger than hate she would most certainly use it.

Izuku's eyes widened, catching her point as he nodded, and she nodded back as she let go of him so they could focus on the presentation. Ignoring Katsuki as he looked at them from the corner of his eye.

"Like your application says, today you rockin' boys and girls will be out there conducting 10 minute boss battles In super hip, urban settings! After I drop the mic here, you'll head to your specified battle centers, Sound good? OKAY?" He told them as they all looked at the cards that were in front of them that had been face down at the seat, which would reveal which center they would be going to.

'As much as I'd like to be in the same center as Izuku so we can work together as there's nothing in the rules that says we can't work together, the chances of both of us ending up there are still low. What are the odds--!?' Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when she flipped over the card and saw, to her ever rising shock and causing her jaw to drop hard, she indeed was going to be at the same as the new One For All user!

She showed him, and unintentionally Katsuki, where she was going. Izuku, upon seeing it, was shocked too as he looked back at his card and hers to confirm, though he couldn't help it feel a little worried as he could see that she was way more shocked than he was.

"I see, so they're splitting us up so we can't work with any of our friends." The explosive user noted.

That snapped Izuku and Poca out of their shock as Izuku said, "Yeah, you're right. Our examinee numbers are one after the other but we're assigned to two different battle centers."

"Though examinees who already happen to know each other from different schools ending up in the same designated center is all chance at best. Not to mention that they're most likely testing to see how well we work with others If we choose to work together during the practical as there's nothing in the rules against teamwork if anyone desires to do so or do equal parts team up and soloing." Poca noted too, though a little more quietly but still audible enough for them to hear her, "Not to mention that during these exams, according to the rules, they are going to emphasize to the candidates to not attack each other for sabotage or malicious intent as it's forbidden and it goes against what heroic schools are teaching to its future candidates. Undeniably you'll be kicked out if you go against that."

Izuku, who had turned to her, agreed with that deduction as well as he added, "That's true. Besides according to the printouts we're going to be facing off against robots not actual people, And those robots would be serving as villain targets for us to take out."

After all being a hero wasn't just about taking down villains. Even heroes are paired up together every now and then, whether by choice or not, to take on bad guys and cases, and he's seen a number of examples to prove it.

And being a hero wasn't about hurting people for sabotage or for ill will. Otherwise you would be no better than the villains you fight against.

Katsuki scoffed softly as he didn't say anything, 'I was really looking forward to crushing him, that girl and her fleabag mutt. Whatever, Not like they're going to pass this part of the exam anyways.'

'Why do I feel an "That's going to come back and bite you in the butt later Katsuki Bakugo." vibe rising?'' Poca wondered as She somehow got that vibe from him even though she wasn't using any of her quirks to tell her that. She already knew what the outcome would be, albeit this time it'll be a little different thanks to her intervention, but still.

Poca pretty much tuned the rest out as she knows what to expect, having watched this enough times to repeat it herself. Physically however she made it look like she was paying attention so nobody would reprimand her.

Internally though, she pondered on how she was going to tackle this case.

Despite having already done some experimenting earlier, the rest of how she was going to conduct herself using her quirks was going to be mostly guesswork and from what she remembered from observation either from TV or from reading numerous stories in manga's, and on the web for years.

The old saying "Kids, don't try this at home", sadly cannot be helped as given circumstances she hadn't any choice but to risk it.

There were still too many unknowns, but she was going to have to try and tackle each of them one at a time. For both during and after the exams are over.

'No pressure or anything.' She thought to herself sarcastically with uncertainty and dread.

"Excuse me sir but I have a question." Called the voice of the very person she was thinking again moments ago as this brought her out of her train of thought.

'Tenya Iida!' Poca exclaimed in her mind as she turned to the direction of where he was.

"Hit me!" The voice hero said, given the young man the go ahead as the spotlight turned on over head for the boy at where his seat was assigned as he stood up.

"On the printout you listed four types of villains not three," He explained, almost accusatory "With all due respect, if this is an official error on all UA materials it is shameful. We are exemplary students, We expect the best from Japan's most notable school. A mistake such as this just won't do!"

'Never thought I'd say this, or think this, but up close in person not only does the uniform that Tenya is currently wearing make him look like a dork in a grown up way, but the way he is saying this almost makes him look responsible in a high class snobby way.' Poca thought to herself briefly. 'Still, He better not--.'

"Additionally, you with the unkept hair." Tenya then called out, turning to our direction as he pointed at Izuku which startled him as he pointed at himself, wondering what he was accusing him of.

Poca felt herself twitch in irritation,'Oh no he isn't--!'

"You've been muttering this entire time, stop that. If you can't bother to take this seriously then leave. You're distracting the rest of us." He told him, making Izuku flinch.

'He did!' She thought as she snapped.

"Shut your trap right now roadrunner!" Poca shouted at him with a vicious glare as she stood up from her seat as Pometaro leapt off of her lap to stand on the desk and growled at the boy upon sensing his owners anger, getting everyone's attention as they all turned to her, the blue hair boy included as a spotlight now came on for her too, though she ignored it in favor of giving the boy the lecture of a life time and protection her new friend.

"He was just making a notable deduction and there's nothing wrong with that! Besides he wasn't the only one who was talking you know, all three of us were talking! Additionally why are you only accusing him of doing something wrong when you should be accusing all of us of it too?! Unless you have a particular problem with him Even though he hasn't really done anything to warrant it, stop it! You're being a bully in that regard!!" She told him straight up, slamming her right fist into the desk, hard, in front of her, emphasizing her intolerant rage, "Being a hero also means having a tolerance towards anything that is considerably distracting or what have you, If these tiny things really bother you that much then leave! Straight up calling out someone for one tiny harmless thing will only bring more pressure and anxiety on the poor soul than what they're already dealing with and you're only going to make their situation more harder to deal with for the next upcoming part of the exam! Being picky and snappy at the tiniest things is anything but heroic! How would you feel if somebody did that to you buster?! Now shut your trap and let Present Mic finish his presentation, I'm pretty sure he was already going to explain what the fourth obstacle was going to be and all you're doing right now is being a hypocritical bully! Now stop it! Capiche!?"

Pometaro barked at him to back her up, Poca quickly called out, "And no! Don't you dare say anything bad about Pometaro! He's going to be my future AHP so there's literally nothing wrong or against the rules in saying that I can't have him with me for this part of the exam! Go accusing anybody of doing something wrong even though they literally hadn't again and I'll report you to the teachers! Do I make myself clear?!"

This left the blunette stunned as The color from his face immediately drained from him. Realization now dawned on him as He couldn't do or say anything to counter it.

Izuku looked at her in shocked awe, Not believing that somebody he'd only just met today was defending him once more. And even making points on why this kind of behavior towards him must stop.

In her eyes he could tell that she was the type that really did not tolerate this kind of behavior. Izuku was going to apologize but he was stopped by her as she defended his honor, and showed defensiveness for her dog too.

He really could not believe this was happening, he was pinching himself but nothing changed.

'Does... does she really care about me that much to stand up and defend me like this...?... Even at the risk of her gaining attention to herself like this..?' Izuku thought, both in disbelief and at the same time feeling rather touched by her caringness towards him.

Katsuki, meanwhile, looked like he couldn't decide whether to be annoyed by her abruptly acting like this or laughing at the blue haired idiot for making a fool of himself. Though, In favor of not gaining any annoying attention in a certain manner he chose instead to stay quiet.

Shame was now present on the engine user, especially when all around them people started muttering and quietly talking to one another, agreeing with her and even calling him out for being a jerk, as he quietly sat back down, keeping his head low so to not cause trouble again.

'Sorry Tenya but you really forced my hand here, I will never tolerate bullying or false accusations, no matter what the intent is behind them.' She said in her head, almost tempted to use telepathy to tell him this but she stopped herself for the sake of avoiding too many uncomfortable questions and of being accused of something herself.

She let out a heavy sign, as the little Pomeranian took that as his cue to stop growling and calm down, before straightening her posture and turning to the voice hero as she then said respectfully, "Apologies for that sir, Please continue with your presentation."

"No worries little miss! You're good, I understand where you're going with it." The man assured her as he then went on to explain what the fourth obstacle was.

Once he was done, Tenya thanked him for The explanation and apologized for his rudeness. Although that only made the multi-quirked girl clench her hands into fists in irritation at the fact that the boy hadn't outright apologized to her friend even though he already apologized to the hero before them.

'I'm going to give you an earful for this later, I know where you're going to be mister!' Poca vowed as, to her surprise, Tenya flinched and looked around as if he had heard something, even though nothing was said as Present Mic continued the presentation without issues as Poca herself sat back down in her seat as Pometaro chose to lay on the table but nonetheless paid attention to everything.

'Did I inadvertently use it? Or was it one of those "I got a bad feeling that someone's talking about me." Moments I've seen in comic dubs?' She thought to herself as she made a note to herself about this later, and work on making sure nothing slipped if it was the former.

The rest of the thing continued like it had originally without another hitch. By the end they were all shown where they would get changed and where the bus' would be so they could go to their assigned areas.

With the promise to meet by the assigned bus, Poca and Izuku parted ways so they could get changed in the locker/bathrooms for boys and girls, respectively.

While there, Poca excused herself so she could use one of the stalls, specifically one that she knew would not be caught by the security camera inside due to the angle and positioning it was in.

Meanwhile Pometaro was being watched over by one of the participants who was a fellow dog lover and her family owns an adoption center for dogs and so was more than happy to look after him for a little bit, plus not only was she very adept in changing clothes quickly so she was already done before everybody else, but was also looking for new material to post to her Instagram, and since the Pomeranian was a natural source of cuteness overload, she had the pup make poses with her, and promising to make edits so the ID on the tag wouldn't get seen by anybody else online (because yes she may be an Instagram user but she wasn't careless about people's privacy including the ID tags of their pets as she'd shown Poca proof of her word), so that she could share the cute photos on Instagram with all of her followers. The pup himself, meanwhile, was happy to oblige and make a brand new best friend too... and dozens more as all the other girls who were either still changing or had already finished changing were giving him all their undivided attention because who in the world could ever resist a cute Pomeranian??!

Once the door was closed and locked, Poca looked around and She was pleasantly surprised to see a small air vent right behind a toilet on the right side.

'Perfect.' She thought to herself as she got to work, going to make sure to get this done quickly and make sure she can meet up with the greenette.

Putting down her bag she unzipped it and took out the things that she needed for this task, grateful that despite her being in a rush she had remembered to do this before leaving all the rest of her belongings in her new apartment, a box of Rubber gloves (Which she immediately put on before grabbing everything else), A brand new ballpoint pen, The notebooks that she wrote everything down in regarding the timeline of this world, an extra large packaging envelope lined with bubble wrap inside, that she could put the notebooks in and a Phillips head screwdriver (She had also brought the flatheads just in case).

Once the notebooks, and a quick but super detailed three paged letter she quickly wrote down before everything else, were inside the packaging envelope and it was sealed up tight, and the address was written (the schools address that is as, after worrying briefly, to her relief One of the girls just so happened to be talking about the address of this very school to her mom on the phone by chance so Poca was able to memorize and write it all down) and addressing it to the principal, She carefully and quietly unscrewed the bolts from the grate to the air vent and carefully slid the package inside, happy that it was able to fit in there though only by a hair, before she carefully putting the grate back on and the screws back in without anybody noticing.

Now all she needs to do is put away everything and go look for a teacher so that they would "find" what's stuck inside the vent, and that would be the end of that.

From a few time travel and OC from Our world AU's She's read and favorited over the years from fanfiction and AO3, if there was anyone who can get everything organized, planned and straightened out, all while keeping the information safe from anyone with malicious intent, it was none other than principal Nezu himself.

Hopefully he won't recognize her handwriting as, to make sure nothing would be traced back to her, she wrote in a completely different handwriting style that wasn't from America or even Japan.

She'll allow the heroes to take care of things while she herself takes care of other matters in the background, All while keeping a low profile, cuz again she didn't want to take a chance that there might have been a villain that had transported her to this world and could possibly be secretly spying on her somehow.

As far as anyone knows she was just plain old normal Pocahontas Zaira Laith, a new transfer from America hoping to become an underground hero, who also is more perceptive about things than most kids her age.

She could only hope that she was doing everything correctly as she thinks, 'Here's to hoping nothing blows up in my face the very next morning.'

Once all was said and down she took off the gloves and threw them into the toilet, packed up her screwdriver and pen and zipped up her bag, then proceeded to take off her coat revealing the clothes that she had been wearing that morning when everything started, gathered her coat and backpack together before flushing the toilet (with her left shoe on the handle) and leaving the stall making it look like she was just using the bathroom while also getting changed privately in there as, For some of the other participants, she wasn't the only one who was doing the very same thing, minus what she did with the air vent.

Once she locked up her things in a locker she chose close by, with two locks for extra security (And she wasn't the only one thinking the same thing although that number was only a few and in an even smaller group some were putting three on their chosen lockers, talk about extreme), with the little keys for the locks she slipped into an inner pocket inside her front right pants pocket, and having picked up Pometaro and thanking the girls for keeping an eye on him and them thanking her for allowing them to interact and play with him to which she blushed saying you're welcome to them all feeling a touch embarrassed (They even cheered the duo on to give it their all, which only made Poca blush more), she and the puppy left the room, but without warning they had bumped into somebody as Poca stumbled back before she felt a pair of hands grab her to straighten her up so she wouldn't fall over.

"Sorry!" She immediately apologized.

"Don't be hun, it's not your fault, it was mine for not looking where I was going."

Upon recognizing the voice she immediately looked up to see Midnight, better known as Nemuri Kayama, the rated R hero In her iconic hero costume, which she still thought was really uncomfortable to her eyes not to mention to her it was... Not the right thing to wear in a school, hero or not.

Don't get her wrong She was very well aware that as a teacher she cared very deeply about her students and will do anything to protect them, and was a good hero, it was just... sometimes the way she talked and the way she flaunted her body was... Not appropriate. For show or not, it just wasn't right although she didn't voice it out because she didn't want to be rude to the woman in front of her.

"I apologize for bumping into you two, I was just coming to check on the rest of you ladies to make sure everything was going well." the older woman explained, her smile calm and yet excited to get started on the next party exam, not that she blames her, she then said while happily petting Pometaro, who happily lend into her loving touch, "And to make sure none of you are being naughty by cheating or sabotaging the other, And as well to make sure all of you are able and ready for the exam itself. It's a standard procedure, you understand?"

"It's fine, It's perfectly understandable, All of you want to make sure the exams go on without a hitch and make sure you don't let in anyone who only has foul intentions in mind." Poca replied, internally trying to fight back her own heartbreak as she soon got to the point that needed to be done, "By the way madam, I think there's something stuck inside the vent in stall number 9, It sounds a little worrying, would it be possible for you to check it out to make sure nothing is amiss?"

Yes, She had angled the envelope in just the right way that it would start to make an odd sound so that anyone nearby would hear it, thus adding a little more weight to her claim.

"But of course, Just leave it to me, in the meantime you better head on to the buses if you're already done." The indigo-blunette told her.

"Yes madam." Poca replied, giving her a quick goodbye before heading off.

Once she knew she was far away from the teacher she knew it was safe to let out some tears as the flashbacks of what happened in season 6 brutally crashed into her mind.

Midnight trying to use her quirk to put Gigantomacchia to sleep or at least slow it down only to end up getting hit by giant pieces of rubble and debris by Mr. Compress and end up getting badly injured and left stranded in the forest after a long painful descent, quickly using the last of her strength to contact Momo Yaoyorozu to tell her the chemical formula for her quirk so that she can make it and put the giant to sleep with it, knowing that the older woman herself was going to die as a gang of villains was getting closer to her, and in the state she was in she was in no way, shape or form fit to fight them off and come out of there alive.

Poca didn't need to see the body to know that the aftermath was ugly.

The pained, horrified and tearful looks of her students upon finding her body was just... heartbreaking, Even more so when they had thought that she was still alive earlier only to find out later that evening that she had been killed right after contacting Momo.

It was all during the attack on the League of villains as well as the Paranormal Liberation Front which was formally called the Meta Liberation Army.

She and countless others including Majestic and Crust, were all brutally murdered while a handful of others were gravely injured like Gran Torino, or badly crippled in one way or another like Mirko and Eraserhead, or scared up like Hawks (from almost getting burned alive by Dabi) and Mt. lady (from trying to slow down Gigantomacchia and helping the students get the formula into his mouth), to name a handful of those she could think of at the top of her head she was aware of at the moment among everything going on.

Even Twice and Lady Negant, with the former having to be killed because of how devastating his quirk was to the heroes (already adding in how bad things had gone for him in his past, Especially at the point of questioning whether he was his real self or not after so many of his clones had killed each other a while back) while the latter suffered nearly dying by All For One's hands after she'd failed to take out Izuku (She suffered so much from being taken in by the HPSC to be a hero only to realize she'd only just been trained to be an assassin, a living weapon to annihilate anybody, Even other heroes, that would make people question the HPSC's motives and/or dig up and reveal any dark secrets that they didn't want the public to know and was framed for a crime after she had killed the previous president for his follies and his own crimes). Neither of them deserved to suffer, they deserve to get a second chance to make things right and to live more happier lives, the same goes for Himiko Toga, Shuichi Iguchi, Manami Aiba, and Danjuro Tobita... even Chizome Akaguro...

...All of them would have been great heroes if someone could have given them a chance...

The War... That Horrible war...

The neverending violence, the mayhem, the siege of death, so many casualties, collateral damage as well as fatalities, All of it...

... Was just Horrific...

It was all just pure madness, chaos, pure ruination in its most devastating form imaginable.

That war simply just made world war II looked like nothing but a huge scuffle at the playground between a couple of 5-year-olds, at least in her opinion.

In the aftermath from after the PLF had retreated was just another living nightmare after the last, with many more to pile on top soon after that, it would become too much for many to handle leading to some to quit from everything being too much even though doing so would only make the situation even more worst on an astronomical level.

Endeavor... He may have been a jerk and a monster towards his family, but he did have a redemption arc like Katsuki, The man did genuinely regret everything he had done to his family... yet in the end, He suffered far more as the horrifying truth was revealed not only to the nation of Japan of what the man had done not only to his eldest but to his family too while the PLF war was still going on, but the fiery man himself and his youngest son Shoto learned that the man before them Dabi was actually the long thought to be dead elder son Touya who because of Endeavor became a villain in the most horrifying way possible...

So many had suffered in general, not just civilians but everybody else too, especially the heroes and heroes in training... Especially poor All Might/Toshinori Yagi, and Izuku.

It was all just mortifying through and through.

Blatantly ignoring other people seeing her state, And Pometaro, upon sensing her heartbreak and sorrow, trying to comfort her with kisses as she just ran faster, hastily wiping the tears away from her as a new look of determination showed forth even with some tears still lingering in her eyes.

'I won't let the past repeat itself, I won't let that future come to pass, even though I've handed the future into the hands of others more capable than me, I'll still do everything I can to help everyone, I won't let anybody else die, I won't let any more people suffer, I just won't let it! As long as I still draw breath, I'll do what I can to help make the future a brighter and better one for everyone. Even if I'm a coward, even if I'm scared, even though I feel like I want to crawl into a hole and never come out again, I won't let this fear rule my life nor run away from everything to the point of letting others bear the consequences of it! I'll do everything I can to save everyone! No matter what it may cost me!' Poca vehemently vowed as her nodded to herself and to her partner as she made her way to the door that led to where the buses would be, wiping the last of her tears away so no one else would see them.

There she spotted Izuku and Ken, The dragonfly she had met and promised to meet up with again, Who was sitting on top of the boy's hair (As he hadn't noticed yet) as She made her way over to them.

Ready to take on the practicals with all her might!

---

BTW, I always hated how Tenya Iida acted towards Izuku in episode 3. Sure through and through He is a good kid, and his heart is in the right place, but the way he reacted and accused the boy in such a manner during Present Mic's presentation and Just before the practicals began at the designated Battle center they were at is inexcusable to me.

Every time I saw it I would always get really angry cuz I do not tolerate bullying, even if it doesn't look like it, even if that was never intended, the implications made it look that way and only put more pressure on the greenette then what he already had to deal with.

So trust me when I say you have no idea how relieving it is to finally let that out in story form through my OC.

Also two fun facts, first I really did used to have a snow globe, a water like one, That also functioned as a pen and pencil holder that I had gotten as a souvenir from SeaWorld years ago when I was a kid but years later it had to be thrown out because it got cracked and it was leaking. And the other fun fact? I really do have Friends Legos! They are a lot of fun.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please leave your review here and I hope you are all having a good day or night wherever you are, until next time, TTFN!!!
