As much as he wanted to believe in All Might's plan there was still a part of him that was incredibly nervous about being so public. He had spent much of his life trying to not be noticed and now he was going to go out and display one of the most powerful quirks in the world in front of hundreds of other hopefuls for the coveted UA Heroics Course and further under the scrutiny of the professional heroes the school employed to teach those future students.

So standing in front of the gates however had his nerves on edge, if he had blood it would be pounding in his ears. But as much as he wanted to turn tail and run he didn't want to disappoint All Might who, for some godforsaken reason, believed that he could actually be a hero. A vampire being a hero, it was enough to make him giggle. The absurdity of the situation was enough to help calm him, just enough to take the first steps onto the campus.

In another universe a mere mortal Midoriya might have been clumsy enough to trip over a displaced stone and the same would have happened if hours before Izuku had not been given All Might's blood to drink. But now he wasn't on the brink of collapse and the slight loss of balance was easily corrected on his own.

Quickly entering the auditorium where the other hopefuls were waiting, Izuku found a corner to wait in because it was slightly less lit than the rest of the room. The distance from the front of the room wouldn't be an issue with his enhanced senses. It also allowed him to watch the other hopefuls, real future heroes, humans.

Maybe he should have been paying better attention because he didn't even catch the instructions until Present Mic was dismissing them all as he had been so wrapped up in his thoughts about the humans around him that he ended up on one of the buses to a fake city. Unknown to him it was the wrong bus.

He was nervous, but not for the reason everyone else was. They were worried about passing, while Izuku was just worried about passing as something he wasn't.

Taking a deep breath which was funny as he never did find out if he had to actually breathe or not being undead and all. Izuku managed to steel his nerves and wait to attempt this exam, mostly expecting a disastrous outcome.

When the announcement came through Izuku was running with the pack of students into the cityscape that quickly filled with the sounds of destruction as people were attacking any robots they came across.

Hurrying down a side alley so as to avoid the main road that everyone else was already fighting over, Izuku found a robot rumbling its way towards him. Sprinting forward his body slammed into the machine and he was able to rip the optical camera out cleanly. "Huh that was… easier than I thought it would be?" he questioned as he crushed the lens in his palm.

The sound of grinding gears alerted him to the presence of more machines for him to destroy. "Maybe All Might's quirk is already working?" He concluded, despite not feeling any different beyond less hungry from the blood he had drunk earlier from his mentor.

Coming out of the alley with some destroyed bots behind him, he stopped to sniff the air, the tinge of blood from all the scrapes and cuts earned by the examinees started to surround him. "Oh yeah," Izuku sighed happily while a part of his psyche was telling him to just go crazy.

But before he could make a decision he heard someone screaming to the side of him. "Ahh this is so unfair," a very short purple haired boy cried out in fear as a two-pointer bot kept trying to skewer him with its tail. The boy rolled out of the way and tossed a stick ball from his head onto the tail which got it stuck to the ground when it stabbed down, but the cracking sounds coming from the concrete meant that wasn't going to be a long-term solution.

Izuku quickly leaped through the air and kicked the machine separating its body from the tail. "Hey nice job holding it down," Izuku smiled even flashing his fangs at the boy who looked sullen.

"Yeah yeah, stupid test, stupid robots, stupid quirk," the boy grumbled while starting to trod away.

"Wait up," Izuku called out.

The other boy actually did stop though and looked over his shoulder. "What for?"

"How about we work together, you get the robots to stop moving and I take them out," offering to team up with his hand outwardly extended.

"And let you get all the points?" the purple haired boy scoffed.

"No way, we share the points, this exam is for a hero school. We have to get credit somehow for working together. After all, how many heroes do everything by themselves?" Izuku shook his hand again in the hopes the other boy would accept. "Come on, I got a good hunch that the examiners aren't just looking at how many robots each person can smash, otherwise they would only be admitting the people with the most destructive quirks, and to be quite honest, I know plenty of people who have those that would make terrible heroes."

"Minoru Mineta," the purple haired boy accepted the hand while offering his name.

"Izuku Midoriya," giving his own back. "Alright now let's go, hop on, it'll be faster this way. You pin them down and I take care of the rest."

Mineta groaned at the offer of a piggyback ride from someone he just met but as it was, even if he got credit for that machine Midoriya kicked, it still only left him with one point and he already lost five minutes. So he had little to no options left. "Alright, but if you're wrong."

"Then I'll give up my spot to you, does that sound fair?" Izuku replied.

"Whatever, let's just get going," Mineta mumbled because this was the best he could hope for at the moment.

Running through the streets Izuku found it much easier to smash the machines since Mineta stopped them in their tracks, especially the three pointers that could roll away while firing their missile barrages. However one of said machines that was battling another test taker fired off from behind and while carrying a passenger Izuku didn't have time to properly dodge when suddenly a large flock of birds came and caused the missiles to fly in all different directions.

Seeing the birds scatter and then take a formation to fly back over to another student, Izuku felt that it would be rude to not at least thank the person for intercepting the attack. "Hey, thanks for that, a missile in the back is something I don't think I want to experience," Izuku smiled and offered a hand only to be a little confused that the other boy pulled out a whiteboard.

Waiting for him to write on it, the boy turned it around. Context led him to know that the top line was his name, Koji Koda. "Well Koda, would you like to join us in breaking a few machines, three is better than two after all?" extending an offer to the rockheaded looking boy.

Koda looked at the machine that this other boy had destroyed and then offered a nod as in terms of combat capabilities, the only use for his quirk has so far been to control some pigeons to distract some of the robots so that other students could break them. But maybe this boy would let him get a few machines so he could at least earn some points as well. Since he didn't think he had much of chance otherwise he nodded his head in agreement.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya and this," turning his back to reveal his passenger. "Is Minoru Mineta."

Mineta tilted his head back and raised a hand. "Sup."

"We still have about seven minutes left in the exam," Izuku commented because he figured they would be able to gain a few more points and he could still see some robots that haven't been attacked by another examinee yet.

That was how the trio worked with Koda directing the birds to distract the machines so Mineta could pin them in place and Izuku smashed through them. And it was going swimmingly until everyone felt the ground start to quake. Looking down the street Izuku saw a massive metallic hand grip a building, cracking large chunks of concrete off the buildings.

"Oh what is that?" Mineta screeched in fear at seeing the Zero Pointer trod down the street towards them.

Koda tugged on Izuku's sleeve to get his attention on the writings on his board. "We should leave."

"That's probably a good idea," Izuku nodded and took a step before a scent caught his attention. Whipping his head around he started scanning the surroundings for the source of the blood he was smelling.

"Hey Midoriya we need to go," Mineta called out when he noticed that Izuku wasn't moving but instead was staring at some rubble as if it was the most important thing in the world. Then Mineta covered his eyes to protect him from the dust Midoriya kicked up just by running towards the danger.

"Where are you?" Izuku said frantically as he could smell the person, but he couldn't see the person. Following his nose to the scent of blood he found a small trail hanging in the air. Running his finger along it he was surprised, but not too much, to feel a human body. "An invisibility quirk, interesting."

Licking clean his finger, he realized that a rock must have hit this girl's head and knocked her unconscious and she would need medical attention. "Although," he mused to himself that no one would notice her disappearing.

"No," Izuku suddenly stepped back from her since he realized he was leaning forward towards the defenseless girl. "You had blood today, you are not a monster."

That bubbled frustration inside of him knowing that this could be a free meal if he just went for it, if he threw away his inhibitions and drank. "I can't, I had some blood from All Might and that's it. I can't just take and take."

But that anger boiled, he wanted the blood, Izuku's instincts told him to drink. After a few seconds of inner turmoil he resolved to step away and get this girl help rather than help himself to her. That still left him tensed and the approaching machine caught his attention. Letting out a hellish scream Izuku launched himself high into the sky and crashed into the machine, sending it falling backwards.

Pulling back his lips into a snarl, Izuku sunk his fingers into the robot's metal head and ripped it straight out of its socket. With a roar he flung the hunk of metal into a nearby building which collapsed from the collision.

Having let off some steam Izuku went over to the unconscious girl and picked her up to carry to a UA staffer so they can get her the attention she needs.

The rest of the test takers were staring wide-eyed in shock at the violent display of strength.

"Jeez Midoriya, you got some anger issues to work out?" Mineta nervously chuckled because that was one of the most frightening displays he'd ever seen, thankfully it was from someone who he had for the past fifteen or so minutes worked alongside, so he figured that it was fine. "What are you doing?"

"There was an invisible person there, I could… smell them," Izuku nervously said as he stared at the person. "I can't be here, I need to go, please make sure she gets attention. I'm hungry."

Koda carefully took the girl from Izuku and watched him power walk through the parting group as he disappeared out of the gate.

"Hungry?" Mineta questioned while looking at the devastation caused by him taking out the zero pointer. "He's hangry, that's what he is."

On the train ride back home from the school Izuku received a text from All Might to have him call when he had a chance to talk.

So later that night, after Izuku sat with his mother while she ate, since normal food wouldn't do anything for him, however it was a chance to spend time with her and catch up on her day. She liked her job at a marketing firm, so she had plenty to talk about with the various products her company would be bringing to stores and how she tried to advertise them.

But after she finished eating she had to take an early night since she was to be up for a presentation and once he heard the soft rhythmic breathing of her sleep Izuku pulled out his phone to call up his hero mentor.

"I should have known you'd call at night," All Might chuckled once he picked up.

"Yeah, so uh," Izuku nervously started. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Just to see how you were doing after you used my quirk and why you ran off before the test was even over?" All Might answered.

Izuku scratched his head. "That girl, I could smell her blood so strongly and she was so defenseless and I was still hungry and that stupid robot was there and I was angry and I lashed out."

Realizing his voice was getting louder, Izuku took a deep, calming breath. "I knew I needed to get away from all the scrapes and bruises before I did something to them."

"That's what I figured, it was a bit reckless of me to still have you attempt the entrance exam after learning your secret. But you still controlled yourself and that speaks volume to your own willpower Young Midoriya," All Might proudly continued speaking. "And I want to thank you for your actions, with all the dust in the air after reviewing the footage, only then did we see the young miss Hagakure incapacitated after running the footage back to see her get pinned. It could have been quite a disaster so while maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit telling you this, but you passed."

"And did the two boys I was with pass, because if I only got in by taking the points from them, I said I'd give mine away?" Izuku wondered since he wanted to know where he stood with them.

"Don't you worry, there will be no need to share points, while you maybe have gotten the majority of the villain points, they still received some and gained a number of hero points for helping each other, now so long as you don't say I told you they passed, I won't get in trouble. Hint hint Young Midoriya," All Might coughed.

"Got it, I won't say a word, I'm pretty good at keeping secrets after all," Izuku laughed.

"I am well aware of your ability in that regard, which is why I need you to tell the principal and the school nurse," All Might said quickly.

"What?" Izuku sputtered.

"I know it sounds crazy, but they are aware I have passed on my quirk to you," All Might explained. "So they know to keep an eye on your development should anything happen to me, but they are both very capable individuals and while you might not initially think of it, both can help you with other problems. And they might need to know about dietary restrictions."

"What? Would they be able to get me more bags?" Izuku raised a questioning eyebrow.

"I believe so, it would be odd but not unheard of for a hero school to have blood on standby, in fact less so for our school, as we have a member of our staff, Sekijiro Kan, otherwise known as Vla-"

"Vlad King, the Blood Hero, I'm aware of him," Izuku grumbled.

"I take it you dislike him…"

"Not personally, just, it's the name. For someone like me, that's like a pretty obnoxious stereotype that he's running around dressed as. But I can live with it," Izuku reasoned, since it was likely the man assumed like everyone else that vampires were myths.

"Fantastic, so would you be amenable to coming down to the school at some point to speak with the principal and nurse?" All Might asked, since he wanted a concrete answer.

"Yeah, if they're there right now I can just head over to talk to them," Izuku shrugged while moving over to grab his coat. It wasn't that he got cold but it looked less suspicious that he would walk around in the dead of night in December wearing more than just a t-shirt and shorts.

"Sure, they live on campus and I can have them send someone to escort you once you get to the front gate," the hero nodded.

"Not needed, I can get in without help," Izuku said dismissively while locking his apartment door behind him.

"U.A.'s security system is highly advanced, that is a bold claim."

"Modern security systems use a mixture of sound, movement and heat to detect people," Izuku explained to his mentor. "Unfortunately for them, I don't have body heat, I don't make sound and as for movement, well, there are quite a few tricks I haven't shown you."

Twenty minutes later, Izuku walked into the principal's office to the surprise of the three staff members waiting for him. "See, told you," offering a cheeky grin as he took an open seat. "Now before I tell you my secret, I need to know just how much he's told you?" point a finger at All Might who was sitting in an emaciated state

"All he has mentioned is that you have a unique lifestyle that is different from any student that has come through our halls," Nedzu smiled at the student, but based on some of the one-sided conversation he could hear, there were some conclusions he was coming to.

"And how good are you all at keeping secrets, because I'm taking a big risk the more people know about me, before him, there was only my immediate family," Izuku looked at the nurse to get a gauge of her. She was a pro-hero he recognized. Old, but compared to his father, she might as well have been a child.

"We have kept the secret of All Might's quirk since he was a student at UA," Recovery Girl stated firmly. "That was while we were most worried about All for One finding him."

"Oh, and this All for One is connected to the quirk One for All. Some villain I presume?" Izuku looked to All Might for an answer because this was not a detail brought up in their time spent training.

"All for One is the originator of the quirk, the first person to wield One for All was the villain's brother, who he thought was quirkless when he gave him a seemingly useless quirk," All Might leaned back in his chair to start explaining the origins of the quirk he had passed on to his protege.

"Okay, so he's some young upstart who has been trying to take over the world for the last two hundred years," coming to that conclusion after the story had ended.

"I would like to take a guess about you. Being that you consider someone of his age to be young, I believe that based on your prior conversation that you are something that for a long period of time has been believed to be a myth, you Izuku Midoriya, are a vampire," Nedzu stated.

He wanted to be indignant and deny the accusation, but honestly anyone with a passing knowledge of the supernatural European monster would likely have been able to figure it out. "Yeah, so now what are you going to do about it?"

"I don't see why I need to do something about this," folding his paws across his table. "The nature of your birth is hardly something that would prevent you from the path of heroics as you have already demonstrated, you possess a quirk so the paperwork can be created to cover for it."

"You're a fairly easy going chimera aren't you?" Izuku tilted his head at the principal who just grinned at him.

Nedzu looked at Izuku curiously. "If I let every oddity throw me off my game, I would never get anything done because of all my students, let alone the staff members and their weird problems."

The principal pulled out a plastic card with Izuku's face on it while sliding it across the desktop towards him.

"Such as All Might bringing me a vampire," Nedzu then smiled. "Well it is getting late and we still need our sleep, I'll be wanting to discuss at some point your method of entering the school undetected, but for now if you would continue to use the installed gates using your student badge."

Izuku made to leave the room when All Might coughed some blood into a cloth, he moved to throw it into the trash bin when he saw Izuku staring. "Did you want it?"

"Don't make it weird," Izuku raised an eyebrow at his mentor before sucking the blood out of the fabric and handing it back to All Might and heading off into the night.

"So he truly is a vampire then?" Nedzu questioned because it was one thing to guess it and be told it, another to see it first hand.

"Yup, honestly, make me wonder just what else is hiding around the world," All Might agreed with his boss.
