Two days have passed and...
Izuku loved it here.
Everyone was constantly smiling.
Izuku had built a small schedule for himself.
Wake up.
Eat breakfast.
Talk with their family.
Go outside to train.
Eat lunch.
Talk some more.
Train some more.
Eat dinner.
Talk.
Sleep.
It was simple.
Organized.
Except...
Izuku looked at them and gulped.
What would count as stealing?
He had taken a piece of silverware but that hadn't done the trick.
So maybe it needed to be something that had value? Lien?
'No they probably count their Lien.' Izuku theorized.
He followed Ruby outside to their daily fight, which he always got his ass kicked in.
Today was going to be different though.
He had put all of his recent level up points into agility making it 49 while also setting a perk point into scythe making it 54.
With his aura activated it would be 108.
He smiled.
He might actually stand a chance.
Izuku lied face down on the ground.
"Ugh~" He groaned in pain as he sat there. "Y-You're to fast..."
He had gotten one hit in on her and she bumped up her speed two fold.
"Thank you!" She said sweetly. "You're almost able to hit me at my full speed now!"
"Blegh!" Izuku said to the dirt. "Hey dirt how have you been? It's been a while oh wait no it hasn't."
Ruby giggled again.
"Come on~" She said. "I didn't beat you that bad."
Izuku figured one thing out about Ruby.
She was a sadist at heart.
Okay not really but he still felt that way.
"I-I'll g-get you tomorrow." Izuku said standing up. 'I-If I can't b-beat you... how d-do I expect to pass the exams? My luck won't help me much in this case.'
Izuku turned off aura armor and stumbled towards the door.
Lunch.
Yay...?
Something had fell out of Ruby's pouch that she had not seen as she was fighting.
Ruby rushed into the house leaving Izuku behind.
Izuku slowly walked over to the shining object and blinked.
'A dust round.' He realized as he picked it up.
Steal?
Y/N
Izuku blinked again.
"Yes?" He asked.
The bullet shined brightly for a second before vanishing in a bright flash of light.
"Whoa..." He said.
"System alert!"
LEVEL UP (x2)
Izuku blinked.
Slowly he walked back into the house.
When he walked in a smell hit his nose.
He smiled as he smelt the burgers.
Taiyang was actually a good cook and that surprised him.
"S-Sorry for the wait." Izuku chuckled. As he walked in. "That smells so good!"
"Sit down then." Taiyang said as he flipped the final burger onto a bun. "You want the regular toppings? Ketchup mustard and Pickles?"
"Yes please." Izuku answered.
"Ruby." Yang said. "Pass the pickles please."
"I don't know if I should!" Ruby said holding the pickles.
"Oh stop being so Sour... Eh?" Yang asked.
Izuku snorted and Taiyang laughed.
-2 affection Ruby.
+10 affection Yang.
Izuku blinked at the Affection notices.
"Yang that's a very bad way to say that." Izuku said. "Pickle your words carefully next time."
-5 affection Ruby.
+5 affection Yang.
"Stop~" Ruby whined.
"Alright alright." Izuku said. He patted her head. "Stop being m-mean to her you guys! She's f-fragile."
"Thank you!" Ruby said.
+ 10 affection Ruby.
"Wait? Fragile!?"
-3 affection Ruby.
Izuku looked at the affection meter in his room.
Current Affection levels.
Roman:10
Neo:35
Keno:20
Ruby:64
Glynda:15
Ozpin:85
Yang:40
Taiyang:5
Qrow:13
"Wow Ruby's affection is shooting up." Izuku said. "Even with the stupid puns. And Yang's shot up a lot more"
'What happens when I get them to a hundred?' Izuku asked himself.
"They will consider you as important to them as 'family'. " The system said
He took a deep breath and shook his head.
'I need to focus!' He thought.
He took a second deep breath.
'A-Alright l-let's see stealth mode.' Izuku said as he went to his Status page.

A thief's hand allows you to steal from someones pockets with a ten percent chance of succeeding.
Stealth. (Lv1)
When you use stealth you are less likely to be detected by 5%, costs (1) Mp (Per 1Minute.)
"Mp?" Izuku asked.
Suddenly a small blue bar found it's way to his mind. As well as a green and red bar. One large bar as well he was sure it represented Aura.
MP 300/300
HP 250/250
SP 400/400
AP 1,410/1,410
"Whoa." Izuku said. The bars didn't interfere with his vision but he could still tell where they were at. "So I can tell when I'm about to die? And run out of aura and stamina. Even... Mana? For magic? Isn't that unlocked as I progress through the story."
Izuku sighed.
Stealth mode huh?
"Turn on stealth mode?" Izuku asked.
Suddenly he felt like he belonged there. Like he wasn't there.
Slowly he walked out the room. Quietly, he walked down the stairs.
"Stealth has leveled up." His AI said. "It is now eight percent likely they won't see you."
Izuku smiled as he got to the bottom step.
He saw Ruby sitting beside Yang as they were... studying?
He shrugged it off as he walked towards them.
Before they realized it Izuku sat down beside Yang. "Whatcha doing?"
"I-Izuku?!" Yang screamed setting her hand onto her chest. "Y-You just... Whew..."
Ruby had been startled as well having dropped her text book and pulled out her folding scythe.
"U-Uh..." Izuku said as it was at his face. "S-Stealth mode?"
Ruby blinked and Yang snorted.
"Boo!" Ruby booed. "That sucked!"
"Awe..." Izuku whined. He noticed though that her affection didn't go down.
"The higher the affection is the tougher it is to take it down." His AI said.
Izuku blinked at that.
"A-Anyway!" Izuku said. "L-Let put the deadly weapon down before someone, mainly me, gets their eye stabbed out."
Ruby scoffed and folded her scythe back behind her.
"M-Meanie." She muttered.
"Awe don't be like that Ruby!" Yang said. "Next time he does it I'll just knock his teeth in!"
Izuku shivered and nodded. "Alright message r-received."
Izuku looked at his leveled up stealth mode.
Stealth. (Lv5) People have a 17% chance to miss you. Attacks done in stealth mode deal double damage.
Izuku smiled.
He looked at his twenty remaining attribute points. He set all twenty into vitality boosting it up to 45.
HP 450/450
Izuku smiled at his near doubled health.
He sighed as he looked at his aura. It was nearly level three. It still consumed five aura a second though.
Sighing Izuku sat up and focused his Aura shield.
All of his fighting stats doubled and Izuku was feeling amazing.
He could see the Aura bar going down faster and faster every second.
After nearly three minutes his aura was completely depleted.
He could barely move his body as he pulled himself to his bed and laid down.
The day came faster than anyone could have hoped and Izuku was standing inside the airship waving bye to Taiyang.
Ruby was sniveling in tears as Yang joked about crashing.
"It's alright Ruby." Izuku said. "Soon you'll be slicing through Grimm and everything. You'll get so strong that everyone's gong to be like 'Whoa! She's so cool! I wish I could have a folding scythe like hers! That's also a gun.'"
Ruby snorted and wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"T-Thanks Izuku." She said. "T-That really cheered me up."
+15 Affection Ruby.
She slugged my arm slightly.
"Ooh I've been crippled for life!" Izuku joked, holding his arm. "B-But seriously uh... does anyone else have nerves eating at them?"
"Y-Yeah." Ruby said.
"Specially that dude." Yang said pointing to a blonde haired boy.
'Jaune.' Izuku realized as the boy puked into a nearby trashcan. 'Pre forever fall Jaune... Ugh.'
Izuku walked over to the boy.
"A-Are you okay?" Izuku said.
His eyes widened as a message popped up.
Jaune Arc.
Level ten.
Strength: 15.
Izuku watched as the boy stood up.
"I-I'm fine!" Jaune said.
"I-I'm Izuku." Izuku said holding out a hand.
"J-Jaune. Jaune Arc." Jaune said. "Rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it."
"O-Obviously." Izuku said embarrassed to be anywhere near him. "T-Try your best out there."
"Y-You to." Jaune said turning back to the trash can.
Izuku turned and walked back to the two girls.
"We have some uh... competition?" Izuku said looking at Jaune.
"Puke boy huh?" Yang asked. "Well I'll crush him."
"Everyone, may I have your attention." About an hour into the ride Izuku heard a voice and looked towards the left.
Glynda Goodwitch stood there as a hologram.
"We will be landing at Beacon shortly." She said. "When we do please be sure to hurry towards the Colosseum."
The students all looked at the hologram as it disappeared.
"Whoa that's cool." Izuku said.
"I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me." Yang said wrapping her arms around Ruby. "You're so going to be the bees knees."
"B-But I don't want to be the Bee's knees." Ruby whined. "I-I just want to be normal old me."
"Guys look!" Izuku said pointing out of the window. "It's Beacon."
Ruby and Yang Instantly perked up and ran towards the window to see.
The large academy of Beacon stood there and all Izuku could do was gape at the actual size of the campus.
It took a few minutes before the airship landed but Izuku was one of the first people out along with Ruby and Yang.
"Wow it's so big!" Izuku said. 'No wonder they have so many students!'
He looked down to his message board.
'Any quests System?' He asked.
"Quests available!" His AI said.
Get Ruby to meet Weiss by 'accidentally' bumping into her cart of highly explosive dust!
Charm Blake with your knowledge about the Schnee dust company!
Charm Ruby by stopping Weiss from hurting her feeling to much!
Tell off Weiss for bumping into Ruby!
Rewards:
3,000EXP
?
5,000 Lien.
Izuku chuckled softly at the quests.
'All of them are to charm someone.' Izuku thought with a snort. 'I-I... I would like to... Charm Blake and R-OH MY GOD STOP IT STOP IT!'
He shook his embarrassed face.
Ruby looked around and started gasping at the weapons other students have.
"Look sis!" She yelled. "She's got a collapsible staff! He's got a fire sword!"
Izuku's eyes widened as he saw all of the weapons as well.
"Yang look he has a flaming crossbow!" Izuku said shaking her shoulder. "Oh that girl has a katana that morphs into a Bow! Huh! He's got a-!"
"H-How about you two go and nerd out." Yang said. "The ceremony starts in like twenty minutes so you're fine. GO make some friends. Help her Izuku or I'll steal all of your shirts!"
"But.. I have you?" Ruby said.
"A-Actually my friends are here I have to go bye!" Yang said quickly rushing away with a group of people.
"W-Wait do we go to our dorms?" Ruby asked. "Are there even any dorms!"
Izuku's eyes widened as he saw Weiss Schnee with two butlers who were pushing a cart of dust.
"Whoa!" Izuku said 'accidentally' bumping Ruby into the cart of dust.
"Wah!?" Rub yelled as she and Izuku fell into the dust.
Multiple types of Dust were blown through the air.
"W-Whoa..." Izuku said. "Head rush."
"What are you doing?!" The voice of Weiss said venomously.
"S-Sorry about that!" Izuku apologized. "I-It's my-"
"What were you two even thinking!?" Weiss yelled. "Do you know what this stuff is!?
"D-Du-" Izuku said.
"It's dust!" Weiss snapped. "Fire, Ice, lightning, wind!"
"C-Calm down you shouldn't be shaking the vials!?" Izuku said as she waved her hands.
"Ah..." Ruby said and Izuku's eyes widened as he activated his Aura.
"Ahh!" Ruby said again. "CHOO!"
BOOM!
The dust reacted and blew up. There was fire and ice. As well as a little lightning.
All three of them sat in the small crater.
"... You in-" Weiss said before Izuku cut her off.
"You shut up." Izuku said. "This isn't ruby's fault at all! You were the one who was shaking a clearly leaking vial of fire dust! Next time you go throwing your weight around just because you're an heiress think about pulling that stick out of your ass! And especially since that company has controversial labor practices for Faunus's that are practically forced to work in your dust mines."
Weiss looked at Izuku blushing in embarrassment.
"Y-You...! I-I'll!" She started to growl as she stomped away.
"Whew." Izuku smiled as he sheepishly rubbed his neck. "T-That could've been bad."
+25 Affection Blake.
+15 Affection Ruby.
-25 Affection Weiss.
Izuku felt something weigh heavy in his pocket.
"Hey." Turning around Izuku was face to face With Blake.
"U-Uh...?" Izuku blushed and looked away from her.
"L-Let's go Izuku!" Ruby said red faced and grabbing his arm.
"J-Just a second Ruby." Izuku said. "S-Sorry if I bothered you miss...?"
"Blake." Blake said. "Blake Belladonna."
"I-Izuku Midoriya." Izuku said with a smile. "T-This is Ruby."
"Nice to meet ya!" Ruby said.
"You as well." Blake said with a small smile. "Izuku... what you said about faunus... Did you mean it?"
"Yes." Izuku said firmly.
+5 Affection Blake.
Izuku smiled. "We'll see you in the coliseum Blake!" He smiled.
"Bye Blake!" Ruby said with a smile as she walked off with Izuku.
"System alert!"
LEVEL UP (x2) available!
Izuku ignored the message board and continued walking with Ruby.
After a while the two of them made it to the coliseum where they found Yang.
"Hey!" Yang yelled. "I saved the two of you spots."
"T-Thanks Yang." Izuku said walking towards her. "I-I'm not good in crowds."
"How was your time finding friends?" Yang asked.
"Oh you mean when you ditched us and we exploded?!" Ruby asked mad.
"Ooh." Yang winced. "Meltdown already?"
"No we... literally exploded." Izuku said. "There was fire and Lightning... and I think a little bit of Ice."
"You're being sarcastic aren't you?" Yang said 'figuring it out'.
"There was this really rude girl." Ruby said. "And I crashed into her and dust got everywhere and I tried saying I'm sorry but she kept interrupting me!"
"You!" Weiss said from behind Izuku.
"Agh its happening again!" Ruby yelled jumping into Yang's arms.
"You were lucky we weren't blown off a cliff!" Weiss yelled.
"Oh my god you literally exploded." Yang said.
"What can I say?" Izuku said. "We wanted to start this off with a Yang!"
+5 Affection Yang.
"Boo Izuku." Ruby said giving him a thumbs down. Izuku stuck his tongue out at her.
"Don't ignore me!" Weiss demanded.
"Look." Yang said. "We just got off on the wrong foot. My name's Yang. This is Ruby my sister. And Izuku a stray from Vacuo."
"I am not a stray thank you very much!" Izuku said.
"You're a faunus?" Weiss asked surprised.
"Um... no of course not." Izuku said. "Just cause I'm from Vacuo doesn't mean I'm a faunus."
"H-" Weiss was about to say before a small noise caught everyone's attention.
Ozpin was on the Coliseum stage holding a Microphone.
"I'll... Keep this brief." He said. As if he wasn't there. "All of you are here to seek knowledge in one form or another. But when I look at all of you... All I can see is wasted potential ready to be shaped into a fine hunter or huntress. Here you will learn that while useful... knowledge isn't everything."
Izuku snorted in amusement.
'Yeah right.' Izuku thought to himself. 'Then what's with you?'
"Now then." Ozpin continued. "Please head to the Ballroom. Tomorrow, bright and early, you'll head to the cliff beside the emerald forest."
'Awesome!' Izuku thought to himself as he followed Ruby and Yang.
"Sorry bud." Yang said as they came to the changing room. "You can't follow us in here."
"Oh ha ha." Izuku laughed before waving at them. "See you guys on the inside." He walked right into the men's locker room and headed towards an open locker to set his over clothes and Kama. It was scuffed up from all of the training he's done with it but it should pass one more day. He pulled off his Tee shirt and opened his bag.
"Wow." Jaune said from beside him. When did he get there. "Nice abs dude?!"
"E-Eh..." Izuku said self consciousness flooding his body like a curse. "I-It's nothing."
Jaune shook his head and went int the locker just beside Izuku's.
"You have some pretty neat gear." Izuku said. "You ever think of sharpening your shield?"
"Sharpening... my shield?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah." Izuku said. "And have it collapse onto your regular sword so you have a great sword. If you send it to weapon smith I'm sure they'll be capable of doing it."
"Huh I never thought about that." Jaune said.
"What's your semblance by the way?" Izuku asked knowing the answer.
"Huh?" Jaune asked.
"Semblance?" Izuku asked. "It's alright if you don't have one. I don't either. You got a lot of aura?"
"Excuse you." Jaune said and Izuku sighed.
"Tomorrow we'll be launched off of a cliff." Izuku said. "It's like that every year here. We're not provided parachutes. Just... you know what its like when you can feel someone looking at you even though you can't see them?" Izuku picked up his Kama. "That's your soul responding to threat. Now... respond to this." Izuku swung his Kama as fast as he could at Jaune, not allowing him anytime to escape.
"Augh!" Jaune yelled as a crowd formed around them.
Before his Kama hit him A white glow resonated over Jaune and Izuku stopped his blade.
"W-Wha?" Jaune asks seeing the blade inches from his face.
"Congratulations!" Izuku said with a smile. "You just unlocked your own Aura. Which nearly doubles the amount you would have if someone activated it for you. You're welcome!"
Jaune wasn't listening as he examined the glow over his entire body. "Whoa!" He said. "I feel like I can-"
"Survive a fall from a cliff?" Izuku asked with a smile. He looked at the crowd. "D-Does anyone else not have an active aura?"
No one raised their hands.
"Whew." Izuku said with a sigh. "Alright... awe did Yang actually steal my shirt?!"
Izuku sighed as he set his Kama back into his locker and walked out of the room shirtless and embarrassed.
Izuku walked into the ball room.
"It's like a big sleepover!" He looked to his left and saw Yang jump beside Ruby.
"I don't think dad would approve of the boys." Ruby said.
"I know I do." Yang said before growling and winking at Izuku. He blushed and looked to the side as he walked over.
"C-Can I have my shirt back Yang?" He asked.
"Nope." Yang said grabbing him by the shoulders and shoving him to the ground.
"Agh!" Izuku yelled.
Ruby was starring at Izuku in awe.
"U-Um.. Ruby?" Izuku asked. "Are... are you alright?"
"I think your eight pack broke her Izuku." Yang said. Patting his toned belly.
Izuku blushed and looked to the side.
"Can you give me a blanket then?" He asked and Yang sighed.
"Fine I guess." She said. She grabbed a blanket and chucked it at Izuku who caught it gratefully. "I think that Covered your problems?"
Izuku snorted and Rub snapped out of her daze.
"Boo!" She booed as she hugged Izuku. "That sucked Yang!"
"Say the one who has no tastes." Yang said. "Anyways. Did you guys actually make any friends?" Yang asked.
"Well we met a black haired girl named Blake." Izuku said. "She looks like the quiet type though."
"Oh there she is." Ruby said pointing at the black haired girl.
"Good let's go talk to her." Yang said grabbing Ruby by the hand.
"You two go ahead." Izuku said. "I have to do something."
"Suit yourself." Yang said with a shrug, forcing Ruby to go talk to the faunus girl.
'Status!' Izuku ordered and the screen popped up.

Izuku sighed as he place the extra twenty stat points just around the board.
He looked over at Ruby.
Ruby!
Level 35!
Izuku smiled since even though she was leagues of levels ahead of him her strength was barely half his. He stood up.
"Izuku!" Ruby whined as Izuku stood up.
"W-What Ruby?" Izuku asked.
The affection meter showed up for some reason.
Izuku blinked as it showed Rub at 100 and Yang 96
A blush rose to his face.
'Stop it now!' He thought glaring at his sentient quirk.
"Never!" The message board said.
"W-What i-is it Ruby?" He asked.
"Where you going?" Yang asked pulling Izuku back to the ground.
"W-What!?" Izuku asked. "I-I'm going to the g-guys half."
"Stay Izuku!~" Ruby whined. "I'm board and Yang's stupid jokes are annoying me!"
"I-I can't s-stop her." Izuku said trying to get out from Yang's grasp. "B-Besides y-you can talk t-to Blake."
"She doesn't like us!" Ruby whined.
"I-I'm sure she w-was just t-trying to concentrate." Izuku said.
"Izuku are you implying that you don't want to sleep by us?" Yang asked.
Izuku gulped.
He slipped out of her arms and ran into a crowd of men comparing arm muscles before activating stealth.
Carefully as Yang shot through the guys he went to a secluded corner with his blanket and went to sleep.
He hoped tomorrow would be easy.
