Well then, read on and enjoy!


A few minutes later…

The scene shifts at the road where Izuku is on his way to Aldera Junior High, and he is still in a grumpy mood after what happened earlier at his home due to the sudden appearance of Gash, and the shenanigans that ensued, and he couldn't believe that his dad would send a COMPLETE STRANGER here just to CHAPERONE him and Inko, and he still resents Hisashi for not showing up until now and he still believe that Hisashi is having an affair and made excuses not to come home for a vacation leave.

There he stumbled upon a scene where a pro hero is taking on a villain while the crowd looks on in awe and amazement as they watched the said pro hero at work as he is dealing with a rogue villain who is trying to cause trouble for the citizens in this area. The scene shows that the pro hero dealing with the villain is revealed to be Kamui Woods.

Kamui Woods is shown battling the Giant Villain while a crowd watches. Izuku approaches them, wondering who is fighting. Kamui states that the villain used his Quirk for illegal purposes, and uses Lacquered Chain Prison on him to stop his movement. The villain is pissed and told Kamui to get lost but the pro hero wouldn't relent and told him to surrender, which the villain defiantly refuses.

"Give up now! Surrender!"

"No way!"

"Resistance is futile!"

"Go FUCK OFF!"

"You won't be causing anything criminal-like! Surrender immediately!"

"Like I care! Now let go!"

"Last warning! Surrender now!"

"FUCK YOU, YOU ASSHOLE!"

However, Mt. Lady shows up, using Canyon Cannon on the enemy to defeat him. Several people start photographing the heroine as she declares that today is her debut and asks for the rest to be left up to her. The crowd cheered at her as she began to grandstand in front of them while Kamui face-palmed at his fellow pro hero's antics as she continue to reap the adulation from the enthusiastic masses.

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

"HOORAY! MT. LADY SAVES THE DAY!"

Izuku just stared at the scene in which he looked dejected as he is forced to face the reality that he is born Quirkless, and that would never change, as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he realized that he is about to be subjected to another day's worth of ridicule once he arrive at school, and a man that Izuku passed asks if he is okay wonders if he is aiming to be a hero, wishing him good luck, to which Izuku solemnly responded by saying that he is just a Quirkless bum, slightly surprising the man.

"Sorry. I'm just a Quirkless nobody."

"Huh?"

"I can't be a hero."

"Now, now…it doesn't mean…"

"Its reality. I can't be a hero. Those without Quirks are disposable."

"Easy kid…it's it the end of…"

"…"

"Poor kid…"

As Izuku dejectedly departs, the scene shows that Kamui Woods is discreetly berating Mt. Lady for stealing his credit, which she is feigning innocence and said that she just happened to pass by and LEND A HAND, which Kamui reiterated that what she said is not true, and the two pro heroes did not notice that a duffel bag is moving by itself and passed by the two quarreling pro heroes.

"Geez, Mt. Lady…that was my catch!"

"Oh, don't be a sore loser…"

"You think this is funny?"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho…"

"You shouldn't steal other people's efforts…!"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho…"

"I'm serious here!"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho…"

Ch. 3: Gakkō de no toraburu part 1

Several minutes later…

At Izuku's middle school, a teacher scolds the class, telling them it is time they think about their futures. He says he will hand out the printouts on the students' desired life-course, but knows they all want to be heroes. As the class starts using their Quirks, he reminds them they are not allowed to use them during school hours.

"Class…stop this at once! No using of Quirks during classes!"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

However, one of the students, Katsuki Bakugo, tells the teacher not to group him with everyone else because his Quirk is stronger. His classmates yell at him for that, but Bakugo tells them to shut up, and they remember he is aiming for U.A. High School. As the students comment about the difficulty of the exam, Bakugo declares he aced the mock exam and intends to surpass even All Might as the top hero, but is interrupted by someone mentioning that there is a certain someone who might serve as a TEST DUMMY and PUNCHING BAG for the exams at U. A. Academy, in which majority within the whole class then turns to face Izuku, erupting in laughter moments later.

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Izuku just stared at the arm desk of his chair as he tried to ignore the taunting, though some within the classroom said that maybe he can go there just to study like other high schools do, but majority of Izuku's classmates say there is no way he will be able to get into the hero course if all he can do is study, which caused a debate on what U. A. Academy could offer for those who are Quirkless.

Izuku attempts to tell everyone not to mind him, but Bakugo aims an explosion at him, saying that Izuku should not put himself in the same level as him since he does not have a Quirk. Izuku explains that he is not trying to compete with Bakugo, and is only trying to consider the options available because he will not know if he can accomplish it if he does not try, which Bakugo sneered at his classmate,. Saying that I. A. Academy is for those who possess Quirks and Izuku has none, thus he is just an excess garbage who will never be accepted at any school, which prompted the majority of the class to laugh and mock Izuku.

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Bakugo says that the exam is impossible for him, as the whole class looks down on Izuku, snickering, saying that Quirkless persons have no right working in an environment where those with Quirks can benefit a lot, which Izuku just stared at his desk as the rest of the class resume taunting him, and said that he should just disappear as he has absolutely no worth in this country.

But the teacher managed to get the class to stop and said that lectures are about to resume and those who continue to disrupt it would be sent to detention, which the rather surprising students reluctantly obliges at hearing the teacher's stern warning.

"Class…stop this at once! If you don't behave you'll be sent to detention!"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

-x-

Much later, during the middle of class a teacher is giving lectures which majority of the students are listening, however, a still-dejected Izuku ignores the lesson as he studies the red book that he discovered, slowly realizing that he brought it with him by accident, yet he decided to discreetly see if he could make anything out of it as he thought that it might help him unwind after what happened earlier.

However, he's unable to make out any of the text, until he finds a few lines printed in a different color. Izuku persisted until he's able to read these lines, which says "The first spell, Zakeru.", which Izuku blinked his eyes as he wondered what the phrase means, as he never heard of the word Zakeru before, and wondered if this is a MAGIC SPELL or something.

This entire time, Gash is right beside Izuku's desk on the floor, disguised as a duffel bag and unnoticed by everybody, which helped him in infiltrate the school and sneaked inside the classroom with no problem. Izuku's thinking is interrupted by his teacher, who calls on him to solve the problem on the board, in which the majority of the class looks on, expecting that he would fail and thus giving them a chance to see Izuku get embarrassed and humiliated.

The majority of the class saw Izuku stood up looking dejected and assume that he would screw up, and they began to mock and laugh at him as the teacher mocked Izuku about making a career in becoming a garbage collector as that would suit him best, further earning more laughing mockery from his classmates.

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

To the classmates' surprised reactions, Izuku effortlessly gives the correct answer, and when Izuku sits down he could hear the reactions of his classmates, mumbling and whispering amongst themselves about Izuku being a showoff despite being Quirkless and how unnecessary it is for him to be there, all of which Izuku was forced to hear, mentally seething as the immaturity of his classmates.

"That Midoriya…he thinks he's cool? I say he's an asshole. He should expel himself since he is nothing but garbage."

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

"Yeah…"

Getting pissed off Izuku stood up and yelled at his classmates and asked them if they have a problem with him, which majority of his classmates were rattled and accidentally said that he shouldn't be here at school because he is Quirkless and that no matter how academically good he is he won't be accepted because he is Quirkless, causing him to glare at his foolish classmates.

However another teacher passed by and saw what happened, and there he managed to quell the possible situation and warned the class that they'll be sent to the principal's office if they make another statement like that, and in turn the classmates' parents would be summoned, and the majority of the class were forced to relent as the teacher demanded that they apologize to Izuku or else.

"Enough of this foolishness! Mock your classmate again and you'll be facing the principal!"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

"Sorry, sir…"

The teacher then berated his fellow teacher after seeing him attempting to discreetly humiliate Izuku and gave him a stern warning and the bullying teacher was forced to stay silent. As the class were forced to stare at their notebooks to hide the shame they received, the kind-hearted teacher approached Izuku and whispered to him, telling him to just ignore the taunts and do what he can do best, and assured to him that even though he is Quirkless, Izuku can still achieve something in life and urged him to find and make friends, though he just stayed silent as he is unsure how to respond.

"Midoriya. Don't let their taunting rile you up."

"…"

"Just do what you do best. I'm sure that you'll achieve something in life."

"…"

"Its not the end. I promise that you'll find what you seek."

"…"

"So don't give up."

"…"

Amid all this, Gash remained hidden inside the duffel bag and seeing and hearing how Izuku was treated, Gash vowed to help him in any way he could and make him open up to others without getting bitter.

"Izuku…I promise that I'll help you. That's the promise I made to Hisashi…"
