Holy crap. I didn't expect this story to gather this much view. But thanks to everyone who likes it. I'm glad you guys enjoyed this. At first, I just wrote this for fun and imagining Izuku had a quirk and butterfly effect came next, next thing I know I already had chapter 1. hehe
And if someone is curious where I got the idea of warp quirk, it's from Breach from Generator Rex. Or as close to her powers I guess. :)
The title is still unsure though, I was thinking of giving this the title of Warp Hero - Breach, originally. Hehe
Hope you guys like this. :)
Enjoy. —
Edit: 07/03/2019: I edited some mistakes I obviously should have seen the many times I rechecked this chapter.
Izuku woke up on a Saturday day and jogged to Dagobah municipal beach park of all places. He had no idea why All Might chose that place. It's not like he and Katsuki didn't use the place on their training many times before. He wondered because it was famous for being a junkpile and he thought that someone as famous as All Might would choose a much better place than Dagobah beach where many garbage, trash, and everything was littered. While jogging on the way, he still couldn't stop thinking of yesterday and how surreal it was. Of all people, why did All Might choose him as the successor of One for All? It seemed like a story out of a shounen manga or a Super Sentai shows.
There probably are better people than him. He was a nobody. Sure, warp quirks are rare as they get but… that's all he has. At the end of the day, that's all he had aside from good grades and dream to be a hero.
Another matter was, how does one pass down a quirk? It was simply unheard of for Izuku. No quirk could ever be passed down aside from genetic relation. If the conspiracy theorists on the internet were to be believed, then there's also the legend of the "Quirk stealer" from the 21st century. A boogeyman type of legend rumored to have the power to take people's quirks and was once known as the underground leader while the government was still reorganizing itself from the appearance of quirks by setting up quirk laws, quelling anti-quirk protests, and the controlling vigilantism. It was all debated whether this was true on some websites but no evidence was shown like, a photo, a video, or a document about that could somehow prove the man was real.
Eventually, he reached the beach and just like every time he comes to the place, the trash was as high as it could get and was looking a little taller than when he'd been here last time. The stacks of junks blocked out the beautiful sunrise of clear weather. All Might was already there and was doing some stretches and motioned for him to do the same.
They stretched silently for a while, but Izuku had to break the silence by asking a question that bugged him from the beginning. "All Might, what are we doing here?"
Said hero's head turned to him beaming widely. "Why to train you of course. As of now, your body is better than I thought it would be, but it is still not suited for One for All yet. One for All is the fullest physical ability of many people into one. An unprepared body cannot inherit it fully and the body will explode."
"Explode!?" he shivered just imagining his body exploding and his guts scattering everywhere from using an out of control One for All. That's how powerful the Number one hero was, he could control this power with ease. No wonder he remained on top for many years when the top hero listings on the second and below kept shifting. "So, we came here to train my body by picking trash?"
All Might gave a big thumbs up, "yes." Walking towards what looked like an old fridge he then said, "but that's not all. After some research on the internet, I found out that this part of the beach park has been like this for years."
"Yeah," Izuku replied. He and Kacchan went here from time to time to train and practice their quirks since this junkyard was devoid of people. The teen had to say that he remembered when it was still clean and the trash was still piling up. The beach was beautiful then. They were ten or was it nine? "For some reason, because of the currents objects drift here a lot. It doesn't help that people take advantage of this to hide their illegal dumping. Not many locals come here too. I suppose that would make sense that you chose this place to train."
All Might took a rope somewhere on his body and tied it around the fridge. "Not only that, Midoriya-kun. Heroes today are all about the showy stuff but did you know being a hero originally meant doing community service. Before the emergence of quirk, the heroes were the policemen, firemen, doctors, and nurses. You can't waver from the root," the blond hero extended a hand and gave the rope to him with a big grin that caused him to swallow heavily in both fear and excitement. "Now shall we begin?"
Another day, another training, thought the youth as he plopped face down on the bed. It has been ten months since he started the grueling training with All Might and slowly cleaning the beach turned junkyard. One month since the quirk was given to him from his diligence and effort. That was one day he won't be forgetting soon.
Izuku screamed as he stood atop of the leftover junk that he piled. His body drenched and glistening with sweat. It had been hard days work, but he did it! He'd never felt so happy that he wanted to jump in joy. His task was finished, and it honestly felt so good to achieve something to make his hero proud. Would his dad approve of him if he were still alive?
With a tired waved of his hand, Izuku opened a portal below him and dropped into the sand. He was tired, but at the same time full of energy that he didn't know if he should move or stay still. After that chastising of overworking the body from All Might, it was a lesson he'd taken to heart. One cannot immediately surpass their limits. Rushing can be detrimental if taken to the extreme. It takes time and dedication. His dedication did indeed payoff when he felt happy upon completion of his task from months ago.
"Kid, kid, kid," He smiled at the hero above him even as he was being gently slapped. "Wake up. No need to sleep now. It's time."
"I did it, All Might." Shaky as his smile maybe, he still beamed at his mentor.
The number one hero beamed at him in return causing his heart to flutter in joy. "Yes, you did it, you entertainer. You finished it earlier than I expected. You did it. Now, you have become a worthy vessel of inheriting my power." Toshinori-san held out a hand, which Izuku gladly took as he as then pulled up.
Izuku closed his hand tightly and felt it shook with strength. "It feels like I'm cheating. Here I am being tutored by the number one hero." He felt his tears threatening to burst out and All Might patting his back somehow made it go away.
"Nonsense. Now it is time for the award ceremony, young Midoriya." All Might's eyes held pride in them as he said this. Any more joy would make his heart burst!
The hero plucked a strand of his blond hair. "Someone once told me that; Something you received because you are lucky and something that you are given because you are recognized are different in essence. Take that to heart."
He was not gonna cry! He was not gonna cry! "Take this power that you earned from your own effort."
Izuku could barely hold his tears back from All Might's speech but he held it back through sheer effort.
"Eat this."
The single statement alone caused him confusion than ever before in his life.
All Might had told him many times that training in UA would be grueling and that he should be prepared for it. He was given one week rest after that day. They would now advance to learn the basics of One for All and with training his own quirk. His body was sore from their last day training this evening. All Might really pushed him hard tonight and he knew it was because tomorrow is the big day.
He didn't even bother changing his clothes as he fell asleep.
"Izuku! You're going to be late for the entrance exam!" called his mother. Looking at his phone, his eye's widened and quickly scrambled get up when he realized it was thirty minutes before seven. He was gonna be late for the UA Entrance exam! Ten minutes after, he was dressed in his uniform. He'd hardly believed it was the day! Funny how fast time flies.
"Do you have your lunch?" A nod. "Extra clothes." A nod again and a couple of questions he was ready to leave and smiled to his mother.
"I'm off mom."
"Show them what you got Izuku!" She cheered.
Izuku was breathless upon seeing UA. It was much bigger than seen on TV. It felt so grand just like their motto of "Plus Ultra." This is where some of the most famous heroes of Japan graduated from! And now, he would be going to this school —provided he passed the entrance test— too like his All Might.
"Oi, Deku," on the entrance stood an impatient Katsuki calling him loudly. "Get your ass here and hurry up." His explosive best friend glowered at him.
People looked at him and muttered rather loudly, "Isn't that Bakugou? The one from the Sludge Villain incident?" Small explosions came from his friend. He didn't like talking about that incident and he understood why; Katsuki did not take being made hostage and seen so helpless on that incident lightly.
Izuku jogged to his friend and fumbled when he tripped on something. He expected himself to hit the ground but opened his eyes a second later and found himself floating. "Whoa."
"Are you all right? Sorry about using my quirk on you without permission," a soft voice said and touch him and returning his balance and the feeling of weight. "But it'll be bad luck if you fell right?" The girl had him blushing from her smile alone. The brown-haired girl with a round face smiled at him gently before patting him and ran. "Let's do our best! See ya!"
I talked to a girl! His heartbeat from the interaction alone. "Deku! Get your head out of your ass. You didn't talk to her nerd, so get that weird ass smile off your face."
Ignoring the last part, he grinned at his best friend and then said, "Sorry Kacchan," the warp user greeted. "I guess training last night took a lot out of me."
"Tch, whatever Deku. Don't make me wait next time. C'mon" He tilted his head toward the grandiose building
Kacchan's presence beside him was welcome in for he eased Izuku's anxiety. He didn't expect less of UA to dish out at them. The test had to be something hard because their student enrollment rate was quite small.
The first part was a written exam that he answered as best he can. Izuku believed that he aced most of it because it was topics they already had tackled in middle school. Though some were unfamiliar, thankfully his extra studying paid off. Soon after the exam, they were led to a large stadium-sized room and once again, he and Kacchan were arranged beside each other.
"How did you do in the exam, Kacchan?" Izuku asked before the orientation for the second part of the exam began.
"Easy." He grunted. Okay… he expected that as Katsuki's reply. "You."
He beamed, "I got most of it right." Or he was pretty sure that was the case.
Izuku quieted when the lights turned on and the large monitor bore the symbol of UA. "For all of you listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today!"
Oh my gosh. He knew that voice! It's the voice hero present mic! Wow! Izuku rattled excitedly in his seat. I listen to him every week on the radio. I'm so moved! All the teachers on UA are pros!
His friend said something, but he didn't hear it for all he can hear was the hero in the podium.
"Everybody say, hey!"
"Hey!" the green haired teen stood and shouted. His voice echoed in the stadium causing him to flush, he even heard Kacchan muttering "nerd" under his breath. His head slowly glanced around and saw the thousands of heads staring back at him which prompted him to quickly sit back down and wanted himself to shrink himself immediately.
"Yeah! We got ourselves a lively crowd! I'll be presenting to you the rundown of this practical exam. Are you ready! Say yeah!" The hero raised his fist into the air.
Izuku pulled his best friend with him this time —ignoring his protest of "What the fuck Deku!"— and screamed along with Present Mic. "Yeah!" The weight of attention didn't affect him strongly this time with Kacchan in tow, but he was sure there'd be hell to pay later.
"Whoo! We are on fire!" the long-haired blond hero raised his arm then continued his explaining. "As it says in the application requirements you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock combat after this!" The pro voice hero then explained that in the practical exam, they will be divided into many groups and send battle centers A to G.
Looking at his and his friend's cards, it seemed that they won't be fighting in the same place.
"Tch," Katsuki grunted in displeasure. "I won't be there to beat your nerdy ass," he said, clearly disappointed. "Don't you dare lose Deku. No one beats you but me." His explosive friend declared glaring at him. Izuku returned the gesture with a firm nod.
Present Mic then explained the rules and what enemy they will face. Mid-explanation, a teen in a clean light brown suit asked why as opposed to the four that was in the printout given, the Hero only explained three enemies. The teen turned then pointed at them, "and you two!" He could see the glare even in the darkroom and the distance between them. "This is a highly professional hero training institution. This is no place to be playing around. please take this seriously."
"What'cha say you four eyes!" Roared an angry Katsuki. "Why don't'ya say that directly to my face!"
"Whoa, relax kiddies. Beside's, what fun is learning when we take it too seriously. Moving on, you are indeed correct. There are four enemies in total, but the last one is more of an obstacle," it showed on the monitor having zero points. "There's one in every battle center. It goes crazy in a narrow space. It's not impossible to defeat but there's no reason to defeat it either. I recommend you avoid it."
Their bus arrived at the battle center B. Izuku's heart was pumping in both fear and excitement. Honestly, Izuku blamed Katsuki's for his current somewhat infectious blood crazed excitement. The place didn't help that it was as big as a real city! Talk about too much, but Izuku guessed it followed their motto of "Plus Ultra."
Breathing deeply, he felt his chest lightened as he did so.
Izuku saw the girl who helped him earlier. It looked like she was easing her worries just as he was. "I should thank her for earlier," the warp user muttered and walked in her direction. A hand clamped on his shoulder and he turned immediately to see it was the very formal guy from the orientation.
"That girl appears to be trying to focus," the guy's sharp eye zeroed at him. He could feel his anger bubble inside his chest at the accusation implied. "Are you taking the exam to interfere with everyone else."
His soft and curious gaze morphed to a glare at the accusation. "No," he responded sharply. The teen could hear that he was the one being talked about now but ignored it in favor of returning the look this guy was giving him. "Why would you assume so."
"It is no assumption. It is what I saw in you when you and your friend disrupted the orientation."
Okay, he heavily breathes out. That was a reasonable thing but still, to say that they disrupted the orientation earlier was a going too far. Can't he be just too excited? "You know, it's wrong to conclude without knowing the truth."
"Okay, start!" Present Mic's voice thundered even from atop the tower before the other could reply. "What're you waiting for? There is no real countdown in a real fight! Run! Run! The die has been cast!"
Izuku was surprised to see others already running. A swift raising of his arms and a red warp gate appeared as he then ran through it and catching up with the other examinees. Looking at a top of a building, I can do this, it was far, but he believed he can do this. All Might believed in him. His mother believed in him. It was within his range.
Izuku kept his eyes on it and dropped into the ground and appeared atop of it which made him breathed in relief. "There," he saw still far away was the robots. Izuku jumped and conjured a warp gate, keeping the position in mind, screamed when he fell a few feet higher than he expected but at the last minute clenched his fist. The power of One for All coursed swift in him along with the red lightning streaks all over him. He hoped this doesn't break his arm! Metal screeched from his strike as he landed roughly.
Izuku clicked his tongue. The control was harder than in training. It was barely controllable. Another robot behind him thundered with its threads and dashed at him. Raising his arm, swirling red vortex covered his front as the robot's whirring then ended as it smashed to another robot. His fellow examinees all around were confronting the robots. Izuku opened a gate below the two pointers he defeated and dropped it above a one and three-pointer robots while it was distracted by its opponents. He silently apologized for stealing the kills of the two.
Breathing deeply as his quirks absorbed him. He fell from the sky on a different part of the mock city. "More up ahead!" The teen focused on making a warp and drowning out the wind. He screamed from the speed he fell, as the warp user opened a gate and once again landed higher by few feet than anticipated and rolled. He breathed deeply. Even with endurance training it still sapping me hard!
Casting a warp gate below a dashing three-pointer towards him, Izuku sent it crashing to the ground a few feet away from him. The teen ran and opened a portal then moving his arm downwards and the portal followed swallowing the robot until it was halfway and closed it. The other half fell to the ground and the other falling behind him.
"Target acquired," a robot said behind him. A one-pointer ran to him and with a swipe of his hand a warp gate flew to his target and was swallowed only to fall seconds later.
This time, with a closer target, he dashed to punch it when a laser pierced it. A blond boy with a navel belt equipment grinned at him. "Merci," he said before targeting another. Izuku, with two arms raised, a small warp intercepted the quirk and another hole opened facing upwards. His quirk was depleting him hard now, but he held it for a second longer before the teen stopped it.
With his chance now, the one pointer ran to them. Izuku sent a vortex that swallowed it and making it crash behind him. Opening a gate, he came out a few meters away from the examinees in an intersection. More robots dashed towards them in all three directions. He screamed and run towards a two-pointer. Come on. Control it! Like you usually do! The punch he did send it careening towards a building, the structure exploded in debris and smoke.
He dropped to his knees to regain his lost breath. Grabbing an energy bar in his pocket he quickly ate it and got back into the action. All across the battlefield, he appeared fast as he can as he warped here and there, punched robots here and there. It was a taxing effort, but he didn't want to waste all the months of training. The teen remembered it pushing him on his limit. It was his life for about ten months! He wasn't going to waste it now.
I can do this! His body may be crying now with three of his fingers very red and throbbing painfully. It was as All Might said, if he can't control it, it will destroy his body!
Present Mic called out with only five minutes remaining when the ground trembled and everyone ran away. Looking up, he held his breath as a giant robot blocking the sun trudged slowly and powerfully. He could only cross his arm in defense as it punched the ground causing tremendous quake and blew dust their way to which he can only kneel there helplessly.
When the dust cleared everyone was already far away. The humanoid green zero-point robot blocked the wide road with its wide body and height taller than the buildings. Present Mic called this an obstacle!? It was only he that was left, so the teen stood on weak knees and turn. Any more warping and he'd be down for long this time.
A struggled cry made him looked back, and there, the girl who talked to him earlier winced in pain whilst looking fearful at the giant mechanical menace. That kind of expression does not belong in her nice face. Struggling under the debris the girl wouldn't escape the zero-pointer in time. The teen had no time to waste!
Opening a warp gate in front of her willing it to go forward. It took a little more than the usual effort, but he did it and held his hand out and caught her.
Izuku didn't look back as he ran fast as he can even with his lungs burning and his body crying from its lack of sufficient energy. He knew he was running with adrenaline only but it was better than nothing.
"Is it still chasing us?" he asks the girl.
The girl nodded. That was bad, that was bad. If it continued to chase them then that means it'll eventually catch on to the others and that was the last thing he wanted. Swallowing heavily, Izuku looked at the girl, "I'll warp you to the entrance to where the others probably are."
"What!?" he expected her to say that. "What about you?"
"I can't lead it to the others," he replies avoiding her gaze. He wasn't even sure if it'll stop following the two of them if he teleported with her and lost it. He can't let the others be in potential danger. Better safe than sorry. "Don't be scared. It may feel uncomfortable but it's only for a second. I'm sorry about this!" The warp user threw her upwards before she could reply cutting her scream fast as lightning.
Lessons of All Might for two weeks came to him. Okay, I can do this. His injured dominant arm kept crying but he ignored it as he looked towards the sky. The transition from ground to air was quick as he dropped vertically from above the giant zero point robot. Howls of the wind permeated in his ears. Focusing on the inherited quirk, it was harder with the wind and the protest from his already fatigued body. Imagining the smile of All Might even as he could only work for three hours served to energized his determination.
Squeeze your buttocks and scream in your heart.
"Smash!" Izuku, voice coarse, screamed. He closed his eyes putting everything of One for All into this one strike. The resounding crack, screech, and thunder from the largest robot deafened him. A great crashing and groaning sound echoed even as the wind howled in his ears.
His arms hurt like hell, thought the teen with stinging eyes as he dropped from the sky.
Am I going to die? It certainly looked so. He was dropping from the sky faster than expected. The teen realized he quickly passed the top floor of a building. Turning, and gritting his teeth, the green haired youth open a warp gate but his grip on it was loose and he could feel it fizzle. And fizzle it did the next second when he summoned one. Concentrate. Focus on bending the space before you! A whirlpool to another world.
It was no use, the pain was too much. I can slow my descent with wind pressure! Please don't break. Please don't break! Izuku pulled his remaining left arm, body tight only to grunt hard when something especially his shoulder. His elbow stung but forced himself through it. All he could see was blue as the one who rescued him. They were still flying.
"Brace yourself!" his rescuer ordered amidst the rumbling. He jostled when they hit the ground and he gritted his teeth. He was held tightly by whoever rescued him as they skidded for a good while.
When they stopped his speedy rescuer knelt huffing loudly as the person set him gently on the ground. Both of them said nothing as Izuku recovered his lost breath too. He wanted to cry but he was too spent to even do that. His heart was beating miles per second.
"Are you all right? Your arm is very red! What were you doing risking yourself!" he flinched from the volume. "If it wasn't for the girl who told us of what you did you would've fallen to your death." The green haired teen recognized the voice. It was the teen who scolded him earlier.
Izuku couldn't reply as he was too tired but nevertheless respond, "The… zero-pointer was…," he struggled to say words and it was only through his sheer determination to, "chasing... your direction. I couldn't let it… you guys…"
He faced the pavement and groaning to roll right as he clutched his right arm with gritted teeth. The teen was right, his arm looked bad and could imagine Kacchan saying he looked like shit if he ever saw him.
"…the girl?"
"She's fine," the guy replied propping him up. "You should care for your safety more in this situation."
The clattering steps of people went towards them as the chattering increased. Izuku couldn't hear what they were saying and his vision was failing him as his breathing took precedence.
"Times up!" the voice hero screamed. He closed his eyes. His heart as hammering his chest badly. Izuku opted to close his eyes for a second.
"Thanks for s…ving me..."
"Tenya Iida."
The teen leaned against the teen Iida-san. He didn't think his quirk could leave him in this state. "Mid..ya Izu…"
All Might grinned brightly at Izuku on the monitor. Yes, he could admit to himself that his training was still insufficient despite their two-week training. Even if the young man managed to break his arm in the few times he used it, and that he may be beaten up but that was better than he expected. He already got the most important part of using it. The use of the One for All may be shoddy, but it was better than nothing. His quirk was a problem too but that was what he was for. He will be with Izuku every step of the way in his progress to master One for All.
Murmurs of impressed heroes were obvious. Most of them to that explosive boy. Or the shadow wielding one.
"Looks like we got a promising batch this year. We even got a rare one this year," Midnight stated. "A warp quirk, but the boy lacks control."
"A rare quirk indeed," the principal agreed. "There were lots of moments he could have done better. Though he used his quirk best he can by scouting the enemies from a building."
"I recall seeing the same quirk on the sludge villain incident a year ago."
Toshinori flinched internally at Aizawa's obvious jab at him. He may have had, ah persuaded, his best friend with a favor to stop the investigation on the vigilantism and explaining Izuku's case. The number one hero may had explained how he decided to pass down One for All to Midoriya and luckily Tsukauchi only left him with a strict warning just this once.
In the end, they silenced any issues regarding the vigilante to keep villains from knowing of the quirk. It was a request from police that all information on highly potential quirks, be it witnessed, seen on videos, image, uploaded on the internet or those that made it to the news had to be asked to be silenced to prevent further missing cases or until the cases were solved.
Toshinori didn't want the news of a warp quirk individual getting out and searched by anybody wanting to use such power.
Such a rare quirk would be coveted by many villains and be used as a means of escape. It was bad enough that there were many missing person cases across Japan that had police scrambling. The missing people were individuals with highly potential quirks. It was deeply concerning issue.
"I see the potential in these kids, but they aren't rational enough, especially Bakugou Katsuki," Eraserhead stated as he turned his focus on Midoriya's explosive quirked friend. "Far too excitable."
Indeed, Toshinori agreed. "But isn't that what UA is for? To guide them to be the heroes of tomorrow."
When Izuku woke up, he found himself in a sterile white room. "I see you've wake up." A voice from his right said made him turn and he gazed at the short form of Recovery girl smiling at him. "Your friend caused quite a ruckus worrying about that arm of yours. Luckily for you, it was just your right arm and fingers. Once you've rested up, I healed your injuries."
"You're Recovery girl," he began as he tried to sit upright but took longer than he thought. "I must have fallen unconscious. Eh… friend? Must be Kacchan. What time is it now?"
"It's already six in the evening dear," the old woman said got up and went for the door. "I'll let you in but be quiet." The warning from the youthful hero left no chance for debate.
"Tch," he smiled at the familiar sneer.
"I told you your conduct earlier was most unwelcome. That is why Recovery Girl kicked us out of her clinic. As a pro hero, she deserves our utmost respect, and you-" a second voice stated rather loudly but lesser than Kacchan's usual but was silenced by the explosive blonds reply of "shut up!"
He stared at the girl who entered first, having brown hair and a round face. She looked at him with gratefulness and relief. "Midoriya-kun, you're fine." The girl ran to him and bowed. "I'm Uraraka Occhaco. Thank you for saving me. I was shocked and worried when you teleported me to the entrance as the zero-pointer exploded."
"Eh…," he chuckled weakly and face heated. "It's okay. You don't have-"
The glasses wearing teen looked bothered but then just then bowed. "I am sorry for my earlier conduct, Midoriya-san. I should not have accused you of anything. It was uncalled of me to do so. You clearly saw more than us and I admit you are better than me!"
Iida was so polite and weird with his lively arm gestures.
"It's fine, Iida-san."
"Shut up four eyes. Deku," his friend called as he entered followed by Iida-san. Kacchan's face said it all. Sharp eyes, cold look, and twitching lips.
"Hi, Kacchan," he waved at his friend lamely as if that'll make him breaking his arm easily forgiven.
"Deku," his blond friend demanded. "How."
Okay, he was prepared for this. He and All Might both agreed that this reason would be acceptable. He flinched internally at the thought of lying to his best friend. "I didn't know either!" he laughed awkwardly holding his palm to placate a mad Katsuki. "I just discovered it and started training ten months ago. The energy I used in my warping can be turned to strength. Though as you can see without proper control its... capable of destroying my body."
Please accept it. Please accept it. It was the most reasonable one seeing as One for All flowing in his body had the same hue as his portal. He hated lying but it had to be done to keep All Might's secret. If he had a choice he might've already spilled the truth to them immediately but it was not his sole secret alone.
Kacchan's unblinking gaze before clicking his teeth then looked away. "And you thought you could use that to your advantage against me," smirked his best friend as Izuku then sighed. "No lame new strength is going to help you stop me from becoming number one, Deku. And I told you to not fuck up! No sidekick of mine is gonna break his bone and lose consciousness every time you beat a villain. Why would you even face the goddamn zero point robot dumbass."
One look from the elderly pro had him sneering towards another direction.
"Just get your ass up so that we can go home."
"Deku?" Uraraka curiously asked.
"Eh, it's a nickname from when we were kids. Originally an insult meaning useless but," the teen shrugged unperturbed, "I'm used to Kacchan calling me that."
Iida's expression became shocked and gestured wildly. "How can you say that to your best friend Bakugou-san. Uraraka-san's life was in danger and he was the only one heroic among us to save her life, so please refrain from calling him Deku."
"Shut up, four eyes."
Izuku laughed at his new friend fighting to keep the blush form being obvious because of Uraraka's distance to him. "It's okay Iida-san. It's Kacchan's unique affection. You guys can call me Izuku or Deku if you want to." Said Kacchan growled on his words as small explosives came from him.
Uraraka hummed in thought beside him. "Hmm, I like Deku. Deku sounds the word "you can do it!"
Iida gasp, "No! You deserve much more than me calling you that. Such a kind person as you will not be called demeaning as that! I shall call you by your real name. You can also call me by my name," Iida looked at the silent pro hero with them and bowed again. "Recovery Girl, thank you for healing Midoriya-kun. Is he allowed to go home now?"
"Yes, his arm is fine now," replied the healing hero shooing them out. "Now off you go children. It's already evening, and your parents may be worried about you."
Izuku wobbled as he stood, and his vision turned hazy. Ochaco caught him, "Are you okay?" Izuku could not answer as he blushed furiously at their closeness.
"I… I'm fine!" he replied rather quickly. "My quirk just exhausts me quickly. Nothing a rest would fix."
"Bakugou-kun will you not help your friend," Iida's gestured at him.
"He can carry his ass home. I ain't carrying him."
"It's fine. I can handle myself.
"No, you can't. Let me help you," He blushed more when Uraraka leaned closer and whispered at him, "Is he always like this?" a nod was his silent reply.
The green haired warp user decided to clarify himself. "Don't worry. It's just him being him. He would do it if we were alone." The girl smiled at his best friend as they walked not before bowing and thanking the hero for her service.
"So, kinda like those tsundere in anime?" Uraraka giggled. Izuku burst out laughing with her too. Katsuki didn't visibly react to her words.
"Let me assist as you, Midoriya-kun," Izuku stopped him from propping him from his other side.
"It's fine Iida-kun," the blue-haired boy wanted to protest but reluctantly accepted his refusal.
"Thanks guys," Izuku uttered as they walked in relative peace. Relative peace meaning Kacchan being rude to his new friends and hurrying them. He just met Iida-kun but he seemed like a nice person. To formal and lively in his own way but he could see Iida Tenya as a very sociable type of person. "You didn't have to wait for me. I can make it home alone since our house is near."
Uraraka Ochaco on the other hand, was very happy person. One that you could possibly easily make laugh with a joke. The girl giggled. "It's fine, Deku-kun. I wanted to thank you personally and Iida wanted to wait for you too."
"Nonsense, Midoriya-kun!" Iida reacted. The blue haired teen walked on his right side while Katsuki took the lead. "I had to see if you were okay and to apologize for my rude remarks earlier."
The warp quirk teen with his free gestured for Iida-kun to stop. "Eh, it's fine. I'm used to it being hurt. Kacchan and I can't prevent that sometimes every time we practice."
"You mean you two have been training since you were young?" asked Uraraka.
"Damn right," his best friend replied. "What better time to get started than childhood."
Izuku's lips raised a little, remembering the times getting chewed by Mitsuki-obasan for getting reckless even if it's just training. His mother, on the other hand, would be worried and be reproached by their recklessness.
"Hurry up losers," Katsuki looked at him sharply from his shoulders. It was a long way to the station, but he wouldn't mind it with the people accompanying him now.
"Izuku! It's here. It's here," Izuku's mother ran to him frantically and breathless. In her hand, he was afraid of touching it as if it would burn him. Did he do well in the exam? He knew he had somewhere around forty points. He hoped that was enough to pass.
"Thanks, mom," he smiled at her but on the inside the teen was scared. Really really scared. Setting it on the table, Izuku activated it.
"I am here!" All Might screaming near his face caused him to tumble back. "As a projection."
The number one hero turned serious the next second. Did he do not good enough? Oh God, will he fail? His mentor rambled or at least unknowingly tried to but a man behind the scenes had him get to the point quickly.
"You did splendidly in the written exam," the grinned widened more, "As for the practical test…" Izuku held his breath when his idol paused. Many thoughts came to him as he wondered what he would say next. "Is admirable too even if barely passed! You have managed to earn forty-five points."
The teen clenched his fist, As I thought. My quirk drained me faster than I expected! Even guidance and training from All Might, his warp quirk was still too much! He knew from when his quirk first manifested that it would be hard no matter how rare it was.
"If that was the only if that was all there it to it!" his head whipped up faster than he thought possible. "I am an entertainer as well," moving to the monitor All Might grandiosely pointed at it.
"Uraraka-san?" wondered Izuku. And it looks like she was followed by Iida-kun. She shyly looked at Present Mic.
"Excuse me," Uraraka began. "Midoriya Izuku… uh the person with curly hair and freckles…"
Why was she looking for him? "I don't know how many points he earned but… I wanted to thank him for saving me, would it be possible for me to give some of my points?"
"Yes," Iida added. "I would like to do that as well. He has shown me the truth about the entrance exams! Such a kind heart deserves much better for he risked his own safety to save Uraraka-san and make sure the zero pointer does not locate us!" Iida bowed. A fluttering feeling swelled in his chest that made him reach out to his chest. He didn't do much to get their praise and points. It was too much for him.
"Even if you ask to, you cannot give him your points," the voice hero stated patting Uraraka's hair. "Don't worry young listeners, the judges knew what they're doing. Midoriya would be fine."
All Might turned back to him grinning, "Not only did you save her, but you have also spurned young Iida and Uraraka to act! For you see, only in a hopeless situation does the heart of one reveals itself. The zero point on the entrance exam is built for that purpose! The entrance exam was not only graded only on villain points but also in rescue points!" His heart hammering his chest, his new friend's words filled him with happiness that they would go that far for him when they barely knew him at all.
"A hero is a job that requires one to constantly put his life at risk. If we do not recognize that act, then how can UA call itself a hero school?" the monitor behind him showed the score filling his heart with joy.
Iida Tenya. Villain: 52. Rescue: 25
Uraraka Ochaco. Villain: 30. Rescue: 45
Midoriya Izuku. Villain: 45, Rescue: 60.
His eyes began to glisten with tears. He made it. They made it.
"Come now Midoriya, to your hero academia."
