THE TALE OF IZUKU MIDORIYA

CHAPTER-1

one day in the 21st century people with superpowers were born around the world and humanity fell into chaos and confusion, some people began to use their powers for evil and became villains while some used their powers to stop them. the government not missing the chance to get more tax and maintain order created an organization for these people and made them heroes.

Now about 500 years later these superpowers are called quirks and of all heroes one hero named All Might has kept the title of the strongest hero for decades with many trying to surpass him and a few who might accomplish that goal.

Among them is izuku midoriya.

The prestigious school known as U.A. High School is located in Musutafu, Japan. U.A. High School is a hero school, schools that train students to use their quirk in combat and disaster scenarios for 3 years alongside providing them with the normal high school level education so they can become government-licensed heroes, all hero schools are government schools.

U.A. High School is one of the world's best hero schools and the best in Japan. Today it's starting a new school year and welcoming freshmen students who have passed the entrance exam.

One of those freshmen is Izuku Midoriya, assigned to class 1-A, each class is assigned 20 students and there are only two hero course classes each year, which means that only 40 hero course students are accepted into the school out of the thousands that apply.

Year twenty-five sixty-seven (2567), April 1st, in class 1-A the day has started and all the students who have passed their entrance exam are in the classroom when a shabby-looking black-haired man with onyx eyes enters the room. He sports a baggy black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt and his signature wrap scarf. He was hiding a pair of bright yellow goggles underneath his scarf for when he needed to use them in battle.

He introduced himself as Shota Aizawa, a pro hero and their homeroom teacher for the next 3 years of their high school career He told them to change into their PE uniforms and meet him in the training grounds right away for a test skipping their entrance ceremony and orientation.

Sometime later they get outside, now in their PE uniform.

"Okay, now that you all are here, we can start the test." Aizawa started, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out what looked like a baseball where did he keep it?

"We will go through some normal physical tests you all have done in your schools before, starting with the ball throw test, only this time you all can use your quirks." He spoke.

"Ball throw?"

"Sounds normal"

"So manly!"

"To test us on our very first day, I expected nothing less from a school as prestigious as U.A.!"

"We can use our quirks freely!"

"That sounds so much fun!" said a pink-skinned girl.

Hearing that the expression on Aizawa's face hardened, "'Fun' you say?" he said getting everyone's attention, "you think your school life here is going to be fun and games Huu, I hate to be the one to break it to you but that's not how it's going to be here, and for an example, whoever comes last in this test will be expelled from this school." He said shocking most students.

"w-wait can he do that," asked a girl with shoulder-length brown hair.

"I assure you I can." He said completely serious.

Aizawa gave his instruction, "Katsuki Bakugo, you got the highest score in the regular entrance exam, you will go first." He said and threw the ball towards him which he caught with a menacing grin, making those around him step back a bit, but he either didn't care or didn't notice and moved forward for the throw.

Katsuki made his throw and using his quirk which lets him create explosions from the palm of his hand he scored 705.2 meters.

And with that Quirk Apprehension Test began. What no one noticed was Aizawa's eyes narrowing down while looking at the list of his students.

…

About an hour later when the test finished, Aizawa gathered all the students where they had started the test.

"All right your test's finished, here are your overall scores," he said and brought a device forward, a hologram appeared in the air, which showed everyone's rank, with Momo Yaoyorozu taking the first place, followed by Shoto Todoroki in the second and Katsuki Bakugo taking third place while in the last was Minoru Mineta.

"NO!" yelled a small boy with purple balls on his head as he dramatically fell to the ground on his knees, "this can't be happening to me, am I going to get expelled on the first day of high school!" he questioned to no one in particular with comical tears running down his face.

Most students looked at him with sympathy while a few looked at Aizawa hoping he would stop, and a few looked like they didn't care at all.

"Calm down, you aren't getting expelled, I just made that up to make you all give it your best" came the annoyed voice of Aizawa surprising them yet again.

"what"

"So that was just an act"

"Wow what a plot twist"

"I knew he wouldn't be that cruel"

"I thought it was obvious that sensei was trying to motivate us, maybe I should have said something," came the voice of Momo, to which almost everyone agreed in their mind.

"Wait that means I am still in the school." Mineta cried.

"Yes, Now change into your uniforms and get back to class." Said Aizawa and walked away to their staff room.

While most students looked relieved and started making their way to their class, Aizawa had something else in mind.

Aizawa noticed that a student was absent on the first day of school. He observed that only 19 students were present during the test. Although it was not unusual for a student to miss the first day of school, he wanted to know why the student was not present. So, he decided to go to the staff room to use his computer and check for any details. The teacher had no issues with a student being absent on the first day, but he wanted to know why. The student might have been sick or injured, and if that was the case, their parents or guardians would send a doctor's note to excuse them. However, if the student was not responsible enough to inform the school, they would be expelled on the spot. With these thoughts in mind, Aizawa arrived at the empty staff room, sat at his desk, and turned on his computer. He navigated his way through different school-related applications to check for any absence notes but found none.

"so, this kid didn't turn in anything, to apply for the hero course without a sense of responsibility." His eyes narrowed dangerously. He was about to email the principal that he wanted to expel this student.

"Unless…"

Another thought came to mind, "what if the kid is not absent and is already in school." He thought of another possibility. It wasn't impossible to get lost in this huge school on your first day, or the student went to explore the school, he can let it slide just this once if the kid is lost, but if he went to mess around then...

Again, Aizawa's eyes narrowed. U.A. High School uses student and staff IDs as a way to see if they entered the school with the scanners located at all entrances, if your ID goes inside or outside the school from the entrance then the machine will scan it and register it in the system. If the student entered the building the system would have it registered, if the student tried to enter the school grounds without his ID, then the security system would have alerted the school.

He typed in the student's name and saw what the system had to show.

"hmm, the student did enter the school grounds." He let out a tired sigh.

He opened his email to ask the principal if he could use either security system to see what was going on. When he noticed an unread email, "How did I miss that before," he muttered and opened it to discover that the email was from the Principal, "what does he want" he muttered again and opened the email.

Good morning,

Shota Aizawa

I wanted to let you know that a student in your class will not be there today, as I wanted to meet him. Don't worry he hasn't done anything. He will join the class tomorrow after lunch break exactly when 1-A have their first battle trial.

Sincerely,

Principal Nezu

.

.

.

Well… this was new, a student who caught Nezu's attention. Aizawa never bothered to check any student files beyond their name, but he will have to make an exception this time.

Scratching the back of his head with his right hand he grumbled, "I don't get paid enough for this" and with that, he opened the student files to find out about the new problem child.

About izuku Midoriya.

Chapter-1.2

-Principal Nezu's office-

Meanwhile while in the principal's office, U.A. sat two figures, one behind the principal's desk and the other in front of him.

"It appears your teacher has finally started to look for you," said the principal after looking at his computer seeing that Aizawa had used the school system to find out about 'Izuku Midoriya'.

Principal nezu is a chimera who looks like a rat with white fur.

He sports a white dress shirt, a dark red tie around his neck, a black double-breasted waistcoat, and matching dress pants. He wears orange lace-up sneakers with incredibly thick soles which seem to be quite large on him.

Principal Nezu is an extremely rare case of an animal possessing a quirk, nezu's quirk 'high specs' gives him an extremely high intelligence compared to the average human which lets him behave and interact like normal humans.

Across him is sitting the enigma known as Izuku Midoriya.

Hearing Nezu talk about Aizawa's attempt at finding out about him, izuku raised his head from the tablet he was using to read some documents and looked at Nezu with a calm expression.

Izuku Midoriya is a young man with an impressive height of 5 feet and 11 inches for a first-year student, he has short lime-colored hair just long enough for him to run his hands through them, he has smooth white skin, and a sharp jawline, eyes the same color as his hair his and he has almost feminine facial features. His appearance would make most people jealous; he could be a model with ease. He is wearing the standard U.A. High School uniform.

As he heard that he recalled how they were in this position now.

…

This morning Izuku Midoriya was making his way to the U.A.

He walked to the front gate and looked at the huge building,

As he approached the school gates, with his student ID in his back pocket, he knew that his arrival would be registered. Though he was early and classes didn't start until 8:00 AM, he arrived at 7:10 AM to take a tour of the school and familiarize himself with the premises. As he walked through the building, he explored the halls, including the lecture halls, classrooms, and staff rooms. He made sure to note the locations of all the bathrooms, entrances, exits, staircases, and other emergency equipment and alarms. As he was completing his tour, he was approached by a robot, about 15 minutes before classes started.

Izuku looked at the machine, with a first aid sign on it and it was floating, meaning the floor had magnetic force strong enough for these robots to float, new information, the school grounds had magnetic force.

He then looked at the robot and asked, "How may I assist you?" He asked.

"Principal Nezu would like to meet you at his office." He said in a robotic voice.

"Principle nezu? Why would he need me," he thought and asked the robot to show him the way to the principal's office.

When he did the robot turned and started to move and izuku followed it, a few minutes later they entered an elevator and the robot pressed the button for the 15th floor.

Seeing this izuku noticed, that the school building had 20 floors.

He also took note that the buttons for the 16th floor and above had small locks printed on them, meaning you needed authorization to enter them something he did not see in the elevators on the left-side building and the top floors were accessible there.

"Those floors must be keeping all the information about the school events alongside student and staff information and such thus the protection."

As he finished that line of thought he saw that they had reached the 15th floor. When they stepped out, he noticed that many students had started coming into the school.

"We have arrived," he heard giving his attention to the robot.

Indeed, they were now in front of the principal's office door.

"The principal is waiting inside for you; I will now take my leave." with its task finished the robot left Izuku alone.

Izuku watched the robot leave and when it left Izuku's sight entering an elevator izuku looked back at the door to the office.

"Why would the principal want to meet me now, and right before the classes start," he thought.

"No matter how long this takes I will be late to class considering my homeroom is on the 12th floor, and the other side of the school building, which means that Principle Nezu wants me to miss the start of the class, and why he wants that can only be known after he enters the office," Izuku concluded.

He looked to the left of the door where a small button was installed, he pressed the button. "nothing" he thought not hearing the sound of the bell from inside which confirmed that the office was soundproof.

"Come in" came the voice of nezu from the speaker on top of the bell.

Hearing that Izuku opened the door to enter. He looked forward to seeing nezu sitting calmly behind his desk. Izuku looked around the room giving it a quick look. The room was as big as a classroom, with peach-colored walls, a white ceiling, and brown furniture. A sofa set and glass table in the corner another table with six drawers a coffee and tea machine on top next to a cheesecake and lastly a computer on the principal's desk.

Izuku made these observations while moving closer to the desk.

"Welcome young Midoriya, please have a seat I would like to talk to you," nezu started and Izuku took a seat in front of him in one of the two chairs.

"Good morning, sir, I hope you had a peaceful night's rest," Izuku greeted, starting a conversation formally.

Nezu smiled softly, "I did, I hope you as well, this is your first day in school" nezu answered.

"Yes, I did, this school is beautiful, and I am honored to be a student here."

"I am glad to hear that, I noticed that you came quite early on your first day, may I ask why that is?" questioned nezu.

"Well, I just wanted to familiarize myself with the school's layout to have an easier time in the future, I apologize if that bothered anyone," Izuku answered in a gentle and sincere tone.

"There is no need to apologize young Midoriya, I was just curious since normally only senior students from support courses come as early as you on the first day of school," nezu said.

"Sir if I may ask, did you ask me to come here right before the classes start to make me late?" Izuku asked.

Nezu smiled and closed his eyes, "What do you mean young Midoriya, are you trying to say that I purposefully made you late for your class."

"Yes, that's exactly what I believe you did," izuku answered.

Nezu raised his eyebrows slightly surprised at the allegation Izuku made, most people would not have done that, especially a student.

"Oh, and why is that" he questioned.

"Because the first thing you said was 'I noticed that you came quite early on your first day, may I ask why that is?' those were your exact words. You knew I was here almost an hour early, and wanted to know why, you could have asked me right away when I entered the school but you didn't and stalled the time till right before classes, moreover, it's not that unusual for a student to be early, which means you planned to make me late for my first day of classes, for what reason, I want to know," Izuku explained everything he wanted to in one go and waited for nezu to answer calmly.

Nezu didn't let it show on his face but he was a bit surprised, he was right Izuku Midoriya was not your normal high school-level student. He made all those observations and saw through Nezu's plan, and that was exactly why nezu was interested in izuku, but izuku was still his student now and nezu simply couldn't let izuku get the victory that easily.

"Well, you are smart one young Midoriya, to see through my little plan that easily, not many have done that before, especially not a student." Nezu complimented.

"But I am afraid I can't tell you why I did that, I am sorry," nezu apologized.

Izuku let out a sigh, he already knew that nezu would say that and he also knew that nezu was aware of Izuku's knowledge of that, till now both Izuku and nezu were on the same page but this is where izuku would try to get something out of the situation and nezu wanted to know what izuku would try.

Izuku raised his head and made eye contact with nezu, now a bit more confident and calculating than before.

"Well then sir, I hope you can compensate me in some way, I did lose the chance to meet my sensei and classmate, maybe even missed the introduction in class as well as the entrance ceremony and orientation, I hope you can give me something in return," he said.

nezu's eyes narrowed slightly, still with a smile on his face, "where is he going with this" nezu thought and answered,

"You make an excellent point, and of course, I will compensate in some way if you want anything as long as it's in an appropriate limit."

"of course, sir, and I have something in mind I want,"

"Already?" nezu thought, "well what will it be young man?" he questioned.

"I would to read a list of all the students and staff members in the school currently, with limitations, please make your decision after hearing the limits" Izuku put forth his request.

nezu almost let himself show the surprise he felt, the keyword being 'almost' he managed to stop in time and compose himself, "Information? he wanted information on all the students and staff," nezu thought.

"Well young Midoriya, I am sure you know that your demand is a bit too much, but I can hear your limitations," said nezu to which izuku agreed.

Izuku requests to see a list of all students and staff members at UA High School with certain limitations. Nezu agrees with some conditions. Izuku only wants basic information like names, ages, quirks (without details), photos, and roles. After some talking nezu decided to play along.

"Very well, please hold this tablet," nezu said as he brought out a tablet from a drawer in his desk and handed it to izuku.

Izuku noticed that the white table had a UA symbol on its back like Nezu's computer screen. He turned his head to nezu again when he started to speak.

"In a minute you will be able to access that information," Nezu explained.

"I see," izuku said and waited patiently.

After a few minutes, izuku got the information he wanted and started reading it, while nezu quietly started doing his own work, only breaking the silence more than thirty minutes later when he noticed that Aizawa had inquired about izuku which brings us back to the present.

Remembering the day's events up until now, izuku had another question asked, "Sir, what do you want me to do next? I have already missed the most important part of the day." Izuku asked.

Nezu replied, "Yes, you are indeed right, it will be a waste, maybe you should skip the class for today, I will excuse you for today as an apology for keeping you here,"

"Very well then." Izuku agreed.

"yes, but please remember that this is only for today I will excuse your absence for no actual reason since I am the reason that you missed your classes, you will be marked present today since you came to the school, but from tomorrow you will be treated like any other student, and getting to meet like this is not normal, so in future, if you want a private conversation with me then you will have to make an appointment and wait is all that understood?" finished nezu.

"Yes, I understand sir." Izuku also answered in a calm tone that matched Nezu's.

"One more thing, it's about your hero suit, I couldn't help but notice how different your request was compared to the other students, are you sure that's all you want in your costume?" he questioned.

"For now, yes, if I need any changes, I just have to fill out an application with any modifications I want right?" asked izuku to which nezu agreed.

"Also, I will send you the information about what happens in your class tomorrow morning, you can go through it till lunch break, after that you will have a battle trial exercise with your class," nezu said, and izuku thanked him grateful for the offer.

"If nothing else is left, may I take my leave?" izuku questioned.

"Yes, you may, thank you for your time," Nezu answered.

"Likewise," and with the izuku gave a small bow and left the office.

When he did, nezu smiled a bit more and a single thought ran through his mind, "you are an interesting one izuku Midoriya".

Chapter-1.4

-The next day at U.A. High School-

It's Tuesday, April 2nd and everything was normal students went about their day till after lunch break.

In class 1-A the students were excited, why? They were told that they were going to have their first heroics class after lunch and all the students were excited.

"I wonder who are heroics teacher is?" Questioned a golden-haired boy named Denki Kaminari,

"Whoever they are I bet they are manly," exclaimed a red-haired boy with a grin, his name is Eijiro Kirishima.

"Any guesses on who it could be?" questioned another excited student to the whole class, her name was Mina Ashido.

"Everyone please sit back on your seats, the teacher must be on his way, if he sees us like this, we will make a bad first impression!" said a boy with a slightly louder voice than the others, while making a chopping motion with his right hand, his name is Tenya Ida.

"Well maybe you should take your own advice because right now you are the only one standing," said a girl with long earlobes, her name was Kyoko Jiro, and as she said Ida was the only one standing facing the rest of the class as he was sitting nearest to the classroom door. Be blushed in embarrassment, fixed his glass with his right hand, and sat down quietly making the others giggle.

Then everyone started hearing something that sounded like a giant running.

"Ahh can anyone hear that or am I the only one."

"No, I am sure I hear something too."

"Sounds like something huge is moving closer to us."

"Should we be worried right now?"

Before anyone answered that question, the sound that was coming closer to the room making everyone a bit tense suddenly stopped.

"Huu" was the collective thought of everyone in the class.

Then suddenly the door burst open and a huge many entered in a weird pose and yelled, "I AM HERE, ENTERING THE ROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON".

Even though he did not enter like a normal person everyone ignored it and yelled the same words, "ALL MIGHT!"

The man who had entered the class and shocked all the students with his presence is none other than All Might the number one hero in the world.

"YES YOUNG STUDENTS I AM ALL MIGHT AND I WILL BE YOUR HEROICS TEACHER TODAY" he exclaimed again.

"wait seriously all might is out teacher!" exclaimed Kaminari.

"I heard rumors that he was going to be a teacher here at U.A. but I didn't think it was true!" exclaimed Kaminari.

Similar to their reaction the entire class was in awe and some were whispering similar things to each other while some decided to keep their thoughts to themselves, regardless all might have a job to do and he didn't want to waste any precious time.

"NOW, NOW, I AM SURE YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS BUT TO SUMMARISE THINGS, GOING FORWARD I AM GOING TO BE ONE OF YOUR HEROICS TEACHERS, IF THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS, I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM LATER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ALL HAVE TO GO FOR OUR BATTLE TRIAL TRAINING, AND FOR THAT YOU ALL WILL NEED YOUR HERO COSTUMES. He exclaimed again and pointed to the wall opposite the classroom door where small compartments opened up and several briefcases appeared making the students excited.

"THOSE ARE YOUR COSTUMES PLEASE PICK THE BRIEFCASE THAT YOUR STUDENT NUMBER IS PRINTED ON" all might exclaimed, again…

"So cool,"

"that's U.A. for ya, the best!"

"Interesting."

Everyone had something to say while picking up their briefcase.

"Huu," Kirishima noticed something, "ahh sensei, someone's costume is missing" he informed all might and got everyone's attention, "The slot for number 1 is empty." He finished.

Indeed, he was right the slot for number one was empty, this confused the students but all might had an answer.

"Young Kirishima, no need to worry about that, that briefcase was delivered to its owner during the lunch break, we will meet him in the training ground" All might explained.

The students listened to All Might's words despite having questions and proceeded to the changing room.

…

Eventually, class 1-A was gathered in the ground BETA after changing into their hero costumes.

"Hey, anyone know where is All Might?" someone asked.

Before anyone said something a booming voice called, again…

"I AM HERE!" someone yelled and a huge figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the class loudly, it was All Might.

"NOW LET'S BEGIN THE CLASS," he said.

"Ah sensei the new student where are they?" questioned Momo with her right arm half raised.

"AH OF COURSE THE NEW STUDENT," All Might said but he had almost forgotten about the new student.

"AH CAN THE NEW STUDENT COME OUT, IF YOU ARE HERE?" he yelled a bit awkward at the end not sure if the student was here.

A few seconds passed and All Might wondered if the student was there "Huu is the student not here?" he couldn't help but think.

But then, "I am here sensei." Came a calm voice from behind All Might which startled him.

"HAA!" he let out a small scream and turned to see whom the voice belonged to, only to find a handsome young man looking at him.

Now the entire class was looking at the boy, "AH ARE YOU THE LAST STUDENT?" All Might questioned the boy calmly standing before his eyes.

The boy slightly looked up and met All Might's gaze. He replied, "Yes, sensei, I am." Then he shifted a bit to the left to face the whole class and All Might, and introduced himself, "My name is Izuku Midoriya. I'm your classmate. I was absent yesterday for private reasons that were approved by the school. It's a pleasure to meet you all." He ended his introduction with a polite bow and made sure they wouldn't ask his reason for being absent by adding the word 'private'.

Izuku was wearing a dark blue shirt under a black jacket zipped up to the top with 2 pockets, black sweatpants with two pockets, and black runner shoes, he also had a pair of gloves which he wasn't wearing right now. With his costume, he had a utility best with a few pouches like the other students but he also had two katanas attached to the left side of his waist both in black sheaths.

Because of his slightly baggy clothes, it was hard to tell how physically toned he was, which was the point. Izuku picked this style because he wanted to make it difficult for his opponents to tell what type of physique he has which would make it harder to tell what kind of fighter he is, and the dark-colored theme is to help with camouflage.

Most of the students were done examining izuku and had started muttering things about him to each other as any normal group of teenagers would.

"Man, he looks cool,"

"Wow he's cute," someone let her thoughts slip out.

"What?"

"He looks manly!"

"He looks strong,"

"He looks like a nice person,"

"I hope he is as kind as he looks,"

These were some things they had in mind, but one had a different thought than the others, it was katsuki bakugo.

Bakugo's face was scrunched up in confusion, "izuku, Midoriya? Why does that name sound a bit familiar?" he thought.

But everyone was snapped out of their thoughts when All Might spoke.

"WELL YOUNG MIDORIYA, IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE, AS YOU MAY KNOW, I AM ALL MIGHT AND I AM ONE OF YOUR HEROICS TEACHERS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ASK ME." He said in his usual booming voice.

Izuku wanted to ask why he was yelling but decided against it.

Seeing that he finally got the chance to start the class All Might didn't waste any time.

"NOW I DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANY OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME STUDENTS SO I WILL BEGIN YOUR INSTRUCTION." He spoke.

Now all the students were paying attention to him. All Might then explains the training trial: the villains will guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying and the heroes must stop their scheme; if the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out, they win; if the villains manage to keep the nuclear core for the whole time or they capture the heroes, they win.

Everyone processed the information and Ida with his right hand raised as high as he could asked a question, "Sensei, how will the teams be decided?" he questioned loudly.

"YES, I WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT." All Might started to answer and then explained again, "THE TEAMS WILL BE DECIDED BY LOTTERY," he said pulling out a yellow box with a wrist-sized hole on top of it.

Ida again asked a question, "Sensei, is that really the best way?"

Before All Might answered izuku stepped in getting everyone's attention, "Yes, I believe this method has a meaning to it, during emergencies, a hero may have to team up with heroes from other agencies or unfamiliar faces, in which case teaming up by lottery will be a good exercise." Izuku explained.

"YOU ARE CORRECT YOUNG MIDORIYA," he praised izuku, giving a nod of appreciation.

"NOW LET'S BEGIN!" he exclaimed.

One by one, everyone walked to a box and pulled out a ball with a letter on it, when izuku's turn came he reached out for a ball, "Huu?" he pulled out a ball with the letter 'A' on it, however, "the surface of the ball is like glass" he thought, but quickly put the ball in a second box and moved away to let the others have their turn.

Once the teams were paired everyone began to find their partners.

Izuku saw that he was in group A., he looked around to find his partner, who was, "If I am not wrong it's the girl with brown hair, Ochaco Uraraka, I remember reading her data yesterday. She is 15 years old and her quirk is an emitter type called zero gravity, from the name it seems she can manipulate gravity somehow." He recalled.

He looked around and soon found her, she was standing looking around for him, he walked to her.

"Excuse me, I am your partner," he said now next to her at an appropriate distance getting her attention.

She looked at him and after registering his words gave a bright smile, "Oh you're the new guy right, your name is izuku Midoriya if I am not wrong," she confirmed.

"Yes, I am, nice to meet you," he answered.

"Hi, I am Ochaco Uraraka it's also nice to meet you." She answered with her smile still present.

"Likewise, Uraraka-San" izuku replied.

Her costume is skin-tight with a pink and black theme.

"let's do our best,"

"Yes, we will," he agreed.

"May I know about your quirk, uraraka-San? for when our turn comes," he asked.

She looked at him and said, "Sure." She said with a beaming smile and began to explain her quirk.

Uraraka's Quirk gives her the power to nullify the effects of gravity on solid targets (living and nonliving) by touching them with the pads on her fingertips, causing them to become weightless and float. She can cancel the effect of her Quirk by touching her finger pads together.

Before she could ask him about his quirk, they heard All Might's voice and later she would forget about asking him that question.

Their attention was taken by All Might alongside the others and the trials started

All Might instructed the villain team to set the bomb wherever they liked inside the building within 5 minutes of entering the building while the rest of the class was taken to a room with several monitors to examine the teams.

While everyone started to talk to each other about who would win.

His attention was drawn when some of his classmates approached him while waiting for their classmates to get into position.

"Hey, their man."

Izuku looked at the person the voice belonged to and recognized him as Eijiro Kirishima.

"My name is Eijiro Kirishima, and you are izuku Midoriya, right?"

"Yes, nice to meet you Kirishima-San," izuku replied.

"Man, those are some cool swords you have there," came another voice.

Izuku turned to see, "Sup, name's Denki Kaminari, nice to meet ya," he said.

"Nice to meet you Kaminari-San, I assume you also know my name from my introduction earlier?" izuku questioned.

"Yeah, I did, that was a cool entry, it's like you just came out of thin air man, it was kinda cool," Kaminari commented with a grin.

Izuku faced him properly and replied, "While it was not my intention to look cool, I am still glad my introduction was pleasant," he spoke with a polite smile.

Another question came to izuku, it was from Mina Ashido.

"Hey, so are you good with the sword?" she asked with left forefinger on her cheek.

Izuku noticed that now everyone in the room was paying attention, must be because his abilities were unknown.

He looked at Mina and then at his swords, he then placed his left hand on them and said with a small smile, "I would like to believe I am; I have trained for more than10 years in the art of swordsmanship so I would like to believe I am at least decent."

This surprised everyone a little, 10 years is a long time, if izuku is being honest and has trained for more than 10 years then that means he is been training since he was 5 or 6 years old, for a child to stay dedicated for that long is both impressive and admirable, not to mention the skills he must have accumulated over the years.

Some students looked at izuku with a newfound while a few looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"How strong is he?" thought a boy with dual-colored hair, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

While another had a more, chaotic thought, "I will blast him to pieces and along with these other extras and then become the best." This was bakugo.

While some students had more peaceful things to say.

"Man, that's sick dude awesome," came from Kaminari.

"It appears you are quite disciplined Midoriya-san; I am glad to meet you," Ida said.

"Man, 10 years of hard work, that's so manly bro," said Kirishima who looked on the verge of tears, which izuku believed was a bit extreme but appreciated the kind words nevertheless.

"Thank you everyone but I believe all of us here have our special skills that we have refined over the years so this is nothing special," he said being humble.

Before anyone said anything he looked at the monitors and said, "It appears that both teams are ready so let's observe shall we, I believe our 4 classmates will show their own unique skills, today may prove to be a good learning experience.

After hearing his words, they all paid attention to their classmates on the screen taking Izuku's words to heart hoping to learn as much as they could today.

All Might was observing everything and was impressed and pleased with both Izuku's words and personality so far, "so he had trained in something that he can use without any quirk and he also appears to have a nice personality, I don't see or sense any kind of deception in his eyes or words, and he is already trying to learn from his classmate's performance and encouraging his classmates to do the same, now I want to see his performance," he thought with a smile and began to observe the match.

…

Meanwhile, somewhere in a dark room, a person was sitting on a chair staring at the monitor before his eyes, the light showed a bit of his face and his eyes, he looked like he needed both grooming and sleep, however, his eyes were glued to the monitor staring at the live video feed of Izuku Midoriya standing the observation room for ground BETA with his class and teacher.

As the camera zoomed in on Izuku', this person's eyes narrowed.

…

Back in the observation room, about one hour had passed and now only one match was left, and one of the teams was Izuku's and the other one was, he turned his head to see that the boy with blonde hair and red eyes was staring at him and uraraka with a menacing look and a huge grin, while his teammate's expression was covered under his helmet.

Bakugo's classmates were intimidated by his fierce expression, but Izuku appeared calm and composed. The two locked their gaze in a stare-down, with Bakugo's eyes burning with unbridled fury capable of destroying anything in their path. His gaze reflected not only anger but also a sense of superiority. On the other hand, Izuku's serene eyes looked like a clear river, but there was a hidden pressure lurking beneath the surface. The powerful current could easily overwhelm anyone who dared to delve too deeply. Izuku's calm look had determination and unyielding resolve in them, which made it clear that he did not fear bakugo.

All Might noticed the tension building up between his two students, so he coughed nervously to get their attention and stop the stare-down. Bakugo gave him a menacing look, but All Might didn't let it bother him. On the other hand, when Izuku saw All Might, he looked at him with his usual kind eyes and mouthed an apology for the stare-down. All Might was glad that at least one of them was aware they shouldn't hold any animosity towards each other.

Since those were the only teams left the match-up was obvious.

"NOW BOTH TEAMS HEAD OUT," All Might instructed.

and with the two teams moved out. Uraraka was a bit nervous after witnessing the stair down between her teammate and the opponents.

"let's go," she snapped out of her thoughts when izuku called her.

"y-yes" she replied and followed him.

She was still nervous, "don't worry," she heard and looked up, izuku while waking to the building his head slightly tilted, and with a small encouraging smile he continued, "Don't worry I have a plan, help me and we will win,"

"a plan?" she asked in confusion loud enough only for him to hear.

Izuku only nodded and looked forward, and while he did All Might gave a glance at his back without anyone noticing.

"This student, who is he exactly," he thought, "I have seen a few strong kids in my time but young Midoriya is different from all of them, the air around him is completely different from the others,"

In the entire time, they were in this room izuku hadn't let his guard down even once, All Might's experienced eyes could tell that because izuku's shoulders were slightly stiff the entire time, and to top that off he was concealing the fact that he was on guard extremely well too, it took him more than half an hour to notice that, and that was a great feat.

What All Might didn't know is that izuku knew All Might noticed him.

…

Inside the building, the villain team consisting of Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Ida was on the top floor.

"I don't like the idea of acting like a villain but if that's what we must do then I will give it my all," he said enthusiastically.

He then looked at the huge fake bomb that was even bigger than him, "So this is what we have to protect huu?" he looked at his partner who seemed to get going out of the room, "Ah, hey Bakugo-san where are you going?" Ida asked in confusion.

Bakugo didn't care much about Ida his face had a look of rage and his mind was consumed with the image of Izuku Midoriya's fearless face.

"That bastard," bakugo gritted his teeth while thinking about izuku, "he didn't even flinch," bakugo didn't show it but he was left surprised, he had never met someone who had ever stood up to him until now.

Katsuki bakugo's plan was simple, he would get into U.A. beat all the 'extras' then beat All Might, and then take the top spot, he was the best, but he didn't expect to meet someone who wouldn't yield.

"That dame extra, I can tell that he thinks he can beat me," he thought with his teeth grinding even more and nerves were now visible on his forehead. Then another sinister-looking grin appeared on his face, "No matter, I will crush him now and show him his place and then back to the original plan." He thought.

Then a voice came over the speakers, "MATCH BEGIN'S, HEROES MAY ENTER." Came the booming voice of All Might.

He completely ignored Ida's questions and ran out of the room as soon as All Might said those words, leaving Ida alone to protect the bomb.

Chapter-1.6

Outside the building, uraraka was looking at izuku confused.

The reason for her confusion was that, as soon as All Might gave them the signal to go inside izuku turned right and jogged to the side of the building, "follow me I'd like for us to finish in the shortest time possible," he said, and she began running behind him still confused.

In under 30 seconds, they reached the back of the building and stood at the estimated center point of the building wall.

"The bomb is right above us on the 5th floor." He said while looking above the window of that floor, his voice as calm as always.

"Wait how do you know that?" uraraka questioned confused.

He looked at her remembering he never got to tell her about his quirk, "my quirk," he answered, "now you are going to help me with getting up there, use your quirk on me,"

"Huu" she looked.

He looked at her again and tilted his head slightly, "your quirk lets you turn anything or anyone's gravity once you touch them, right?"

Her eyes lit up as she realized what was happening and let out a bright smile, "Yeah I get it, let's do this." She then touched his shoulder and used her quirk on him.

He jumped up and zero gravity took him up to the window of the 5th floor, he noticed that Ida was rehearsing, doing a poor job of acting like a villain, however, izuku's face didn't change, if he was amused he didn't let it show, his face was composed and eyes held a look of seriousness, he then looked at the fake bomb that was right In front of him, he was completely focused.

Without making a sound he unsheathed his katana and slipped his katana through the small gap in the window he quickly brought down his blade and cut through the window lock with ease. The cut was clean and didn't make the smallest of sounds.

He brought his blade back, put it back in its sheath, and slowly opened the window, he put his foot on the edge of the window and signaled uraraka to stop her quirk, he stepped in and touched the bomb, and the announcement came from the speakers in a few seconds.

"YOUNG MIDORIYA HAVE REACHED THE BOMB, THE HEROES TEAM IS THE WINNER!" All Might's loud voice came.

Ida shocked at the announcement quickly turned around while letting out a, "WHAT!" he turned to see izuku standing there calmly with his right hand on the bomb and the window behind him open.

He was dumbstruck at the sight.

It took him a few more seconds to process that he lost, and when he did, he stuttered out, "H-how did you-"

He was cut off when the door slammed open and an enraged bakugo came in and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" he yelled looking as angry as humanly possible.

Izuku, however, wasn't fazed even a bit and looked at them calmly, "I know you two must have questions but let's answer them with the rest of the class," he then looked at one of the cameras in the room knowing that the class and All Might was watching them live, he then looked back at the two and continued, all the monitors are only set on camera inside the building so they must have questions too." He then peeked out of the window and told uraraka to meet up in the monitor room and then walked past the other two and walked to the monitor room.

Soon Ida and Bakugo followed him with Bakugo still in rage.

…

Inside the monitor room, the class and All Might were also confused, everyone watched izuku and uraraka move from the front door and expected them to enter from any of the windows or doors but they never did, and less than a minute later they saw izuku standing next to the fake bomb with his hand on it.

It was then All Might announced his team as the winner. Now everyone was waiting for them to come here and explain things and a few minutes later when they arrived, izuku was bombarded with questions.

"What just happened?"

"How did you do that?"

"That was too fast!"

"Do you have a teleportation quirk?"

All Might noticed that Izuku to his credit didn't look overwhelmed or surprised, something All Might hoped he could do when he was surrounded by reporters.

Izuku ignored them for now and walked to the control panel, it was a basic system, if you read the label under the buttons, you could use it easily and the computer interface was normal as well, izuku examined it for a few seconds and then looked at the monitors on the wall and began to use it.

"The answer is here," he said as the monitor for the room with the bomb was changed from live to recording and showed the time when Izuku climbed in the window and touched the bomb a few seconds later All Might announced them as the winners.

Now everyone was dumbstruck, but someone managed to ask a question.

"Wait so Midoriya-san and uraraka-san just went around the building and went through the window," Jiro asked.

He looked at her and answered, "Yes, I presume no one noticed me going through the window, mostly everyone was too focused on finding us on the lower floor cameras."

"Yes, that's what happened but how did you reach the 5th floor was it your quirk?" questioned Momo.

Izuku now looked at her, and everyone was paying attention to his answers, he spoke, "No Yaoyorozu-san it was uraraka-san's quirk, I believe you all know about it from the test that took place yesterday, her quirk helped me float up to the window after I located them to be at the 5th floor." He explained.

Everyone was dumbfounded, then All Might broke the silence.

"SPLINDEDLY DONE YOUNG MIDORIYA AND YOUNG URARAKA, AND YOUNG MIDORIYA THOUGHT OUTSIDE THE BOX, OR SHOULD I SAY, OUTSIDE THE BUILDING HAHAHAHAHA! "He said loudly actually believing he made a good joke.

Everyone snapped out of their thoughts after hearing the bad joke but brushed it off and looked at Midoriya and one person commented.

"Guess that was only possible for their team, you know reaching the window, no one else had the quirks suited for that," Kirishima said.

Everyone agreed to it but one student had to say something. It's izuku again

"I'm afraid I have to disagree with you Kirishima-san" he started getting everyone's attention.

The person in the dark room was still watching and listening to everything that was happening raised his eyebrow.

…

In the principal's office nezu was also watching everything and thought, "Did he figure it out?".

…

Back in the monitor room with the class.

"What do you mean Midoriya-san, clearly your team was the only one that could do it, right," Kirishima asked genuinely confused.

"No Kirishima-san I believe everyone in this room had a good chance of winning their match, doesn't matter if they were the hero team or the villain," many questions came to everyone's mind but, "Let me explain," Izuku said and they all listened hoping to get their answers.

He looked at everyone and saw he had their attention even the bakugo and Todoroki, though one was still angry from his defeat while the other was wondering why izuku said every team could win which implies that his opponents could win as well.

Lastly, All Might since even he didn't know how every team could win.

Izuku discussed the hero teams. He shared suggestions on how they could have collaborated better in the exercise. He went through each team and pointed out areas where they could have improved. Everyone listened to him attentively. His ideas were impressive, and some classmates were surprised by them. In the end, he acknowledged that these strategies were not foolproof, but they had a good chance at success.

The class thought of a moment both impressed and surprised at the amazing strategies izuku presented and they were all similar, one person either distracted or located the enemy while the other got to the bomb and all were doable.

"If you put it like that, these teams were oddly specific, one person was capable of being the distraction and the other was able to climb to the top floor, but the teams were decided by lottery so can such pairings be made, this is more than just a coincidence," Momo said.

Izuku looked at her and said, "You are right, this is not a coincidence, the villain and hero teams were predetermined." He explained.

"Huu?" was the reaction of everyone.

"What do you mean midoriya-san, the teams, and their roles were picked by lottery man, how can they be predetermined?" questioned Kaminari with a small chuckle at the beginning.

Izuku looked at him with a small smile and a sharp look, he had the look of someone who knew too much and was going to dump his knowledge on them.

Izuku began, "Yes I am sure that's what the school wants us to think." Izuku said, confusing all his classmates.

Izuku questioned himself if he should continue, "I am in too deep to stop now," he thought as he noticed his classmate's confused and questioning looks and continued.

"The villain teams have someone for recon and heavy damage. Like Bakugo-san and Ida-san from team D, both are good at direct combat. Ashido-san and Aoyama-san from team E could limit mobility and attack with acid and laser quirk. Team-F with Sato-San getting stronger and Koda-san attacking with his quirk or strength. Jiro-san and Kaminari-san from team G can stun with sound and finish with electric attacks. Lastly, Hagakure-san can stealth attack and Ojiro-san can knock them out with his heavy tail." Izuku had plans for every scenario.

However, izuku had more, and with the appetizers done, it was time for the main course to begin.

"The point is, for teams made by lotteries the pairs are quite effectively balanced for the roles they had to play, roles that were also decided by lotteries,"

He proceeded to express his observations about the task assigned to the students, stating, "On only the second day of school, we are expected to perform a task without any formal training in the hero department. It is my belief that this task is an unrealistic goal to achieve."

He then started speaking while walking to the box with the lottery ball, "after noticing this I concluded that these trials were not meant to teach us but to examine us," he said again confusing everyone more.

"What do you mean,"

"Examine us?"

"This is too complicated for me,"

Izuku again ignored the questions in favor of giving the proof, he reached to the box put his hand in, and pulled out a ball and it was ball A.

"Hey, that's what you got last time too, that's a cool coincidence," Mina said in her usual childlike manner.

Hearing this izuku smiled again and said, "Or not," he pulled out another ball and showed it to the class.

"Huu! Letter A again? How's that possible?" Kirishima said out loud what everyone was thinking, everyone was confused.

Even All Might was confused, "am I missing something here?" He thought.

…

In the principal's office, nezu was chuckling madly, it was almost scary, "he did figure it out,"

…

In the dark room the mystery man was also shocked, "how did he?" he questioned no one in particular.

…

Back in the monitor room, things were getting more confusing by the second, everyone when izuku answered one question, a few for came up.

Then izuku suddenly threw one ball at Kirishima and the other at Kaminari, which they caught, and the ball in Kirishima changed from A to J and the one in Kaminari's hand changed from A to G, shocking everyone including All Might, which was again noticed by izuku, and it was something he was not expecting. "so All Might doesn't know," he concluded.

Izuku still with his kind and patient look and a small smile spoke up again, "Before you ask, I'll explain," he looked to see that everyone wanted the answers to what was happening.

A few minutes ago, this was a normal class and normal trial but now it was a Chaos of questions and confusion.

Izuku explained, "If you observe closely, you will notice that the balls have a digital display and mostly a fingerprint scanner. This is a government school, the most trusted one, and they possess our biometric data, including our fingerprints. When you touch the ball, the display changes the letter to the team that was predetermined for you. The school also decided on the match-ups. In simpler terms, the match-ups were fixed."

Everyone looked at All Might, who himself was having a hard time hiding his confusion, "Huu, principal nezu did ask me to always decide on hero teams first, but never told me why, but if he told me to do that then young Midoriya's words make sense, but why wasn't I informed about any of this?" all might though.

…

In the principal office, nezu was wondering how he would tell All Might that he simply didn't trust All Might's acting skills and was worried that if he knew then he would somehow let information slip.

…

This answered a few of the questions, the pairings and match-ups were made in a way so everyone had a chance to win, but that didn't answer all of them.

"Wait so how did it scan my fingerprint through gloves?" She questioned.

"HA, answer that genius!" came the angry remark of bakugo, he was standing sideways with his arms folded the entire time, he was still mad about being defeated.

"If you take a closer look, you will observe that those of you who are wearing gloves as part of your costume have special patterns on them that resemble fingerprints. These patterns are most likely designed to replace your actual fingerprints, and the data related to them is only accessible to the school," Izuku explained.

Sure enough, those who checked found the prints.

Now one more question came to mind.

"Why?"

Izuku was the one who said that, and everyone looked at him, he continued, "You must be confused as to why the school do this right?" everyone nodded, "let me explain,"

…

In the principal's office it was now nezu's turn to be surprised, "hmm, did he figure out the 'why' as well?" he muttered.

…

Back with izuku.

"The reason is to make our curriculum," he said.

"Make our curriculum?" repeated the entire class.

"Make their curriculum?" All Might Thought.

"Yes, it's important to keep in mind that we all aspire to become heroes, but we are not all starting from the same level. While I did mention that every team had a chance at winning today, it was due to specific conditions such as the limited space we were in and the priority of protection or reaching the bomb. For instance, it's unlikely that any of you could defeat Bakugo-san and Todoroki-san in direct combat at this time." Izuku paused, giving his words time to sink in. Bakugo smirked, while Todoroki turned his head away and closed his eyes, appearing uninterested. The others looked down in disappointment, as they had witnessed Bakugo and Todoroki's abilities during the quirk apprehension test and now during the battle trials, and knew that Izuku was correct.

"So, I guess we will never be as good as them Huu, Hehe," muttered kaminari sadly with a chuckle of disappointment at the end.

People felt worse than before, no one wanted to know that their dream was easier to achieve for others.

Seeing their reaction, bakugo let out a 'tsk' and looked away and Todoroki turned his head more to the opposite wall, they couldn't be happy for simply being born with better genes.

All Might wanted to say something to encourage his students but wasn't sure what to say, after all, he was number one because he also has a better quirk so anything from him wouldn't work well either.

Both nezu and the mystery man behind the camera also wanted to say something to the kids but couldn't

"I never said you can't be as great," everyone looked at the source of this voice, it was izuku.

"What?" one person said.

"I mean you guys can be as good as those to are currently and go even past that level if you train the right way, and that's why this test happened in the first place," izuku said.

"Huu," this made everyone feel better.

"Yesterday, we had the Quirk test at school, which assessed how we use our abilities in different scenarios and how creatively we can apply them. The test data was then used to determine the best teams and roles for today's battle trials. During the trials, the school observed how we used our quirks in real-life situations and identified areas where we need to improve individually. Along with basic hero training skills such as rescue operations, this information will help us to develop ourselves further." He finished by giving a small encouraging smile and said, "I believe that if we all work hard, we can improve.".

.

.

A few moments passed when.

"Hell yeah! He's right I won't give up so soon, if I'm not strong enough now then will become stronger," kaminari said now enthusiastic again.

"Yeah! Let's get stronger and become the best heroes," Kirishima also joined in.

Soon the rest of the class also joined in, now more motivated than others.

Once everyone calmed down, Todoroki finally spoke, "midoriya-san you have some good theories but how do you even know about the balls being made of glass or that the gloves have fingerprint replacement on them?" this question was by far the most appreciated by everyone there.

"Yeah, who did you even get suspicious of, the only time we interacted with the balls was during the lotteries so you had to have noticed that the balls were made of glass since back then right?" own analysis

Izuku answered the two recommended students of the class, "You are right, I noticed the ball's surface was made of glass when I first held it, and about the gloves," he then reached for a pouch on his utility belt with his right hand and brought out a black pair of gloves, "this is where it starts," he said.

"Huu?" some were about to question what this meant when "I get it," Momo exclaimed and everyone looked at her, she blushed a bit having been seen acting like a child by quickly composing herself she looked at izuku, "You noticed the prints on your gloves which you found odd and began suspecting things right?" she questioned.

"Yes," he answered.

"What that wasn't enough to suspect things that much was it?" That came from Jiro.

He looked at her, "It wasn't but then, when everyone was shocked after watching Todoroki-san's abilities, I used that time of distraction to check the balls and confirmed that they were heavy enough to have some mechanism inside, and the letter "A" on it was glowing ever so slightly, something I couldn't notice when we were outside in the sunlight, and that multiple of them got the letter 'A' after I touched them." He explained.

.

.

.

"WHAT!?" everyone said loudly.

"You mean he had enough time to check that box?"

"Man, I didn't even notice,"

"Did I really let my guard down that much? or young midoriya is just that skilled?" All Might questioned himself, he looked at izuku "No matter what, I need to talk to Principle Nezu about him, even if I was surprised, only someone skilled in stealth can do that," he thought.

Meanwhile, nezu and Mystery Man were checking to see if it was true and confirmed that izuku indeed went to check the balls. They were both wondering how the timing was when even they were distracted.

…

"Still to confirm everything I have to ask you, if I am right can you tell us," Izuku said as he looked at All Might.

"Yes, All Might can you tell us? Is midoriya-san, right?" now all the students bombarded him with similar questions.

All Might didn't know what to do he looked at izuku and then the class, and then back to izuku, the truth was that he didn't know and was about to tell them that, when.

"Oh, I wasn't asking you sensei," he said.

All Might let out a "Huu?" along with the others.

"I was asking you," izuku looked over All Might's shoulder, right at the camera, "Principle Nezu." He finished with a smile, calm as ever.

"What?"

"Principle nezu? where is he?"

"Obviously not here,"

"Who are you talking too midoriya-san,"

Some students asked while the others followed izuku's line of sight after all might turned to see what izuku was looking at, to notice a security camera.

"Principle Nezu has been watching us this whole time, am I right Principle Nezu," he said still looking at the camera,"

Before anyone could say anything, a voice came from the speakers in the room, "Yes, I have been watching you all, my precious students," came the calm voice of principle nezu.

"Wait, the principal himself was watching our performance," questioned Ida while making a chopping motion with this right hand.

"Yes, I was, I wanted to see how your class would do since I made the parings and match-ups, but I must ask, young midoriya, how did you know I was watching you all and how did you avoid being noticed on the camera?" nezu questioned.

All eyes turned to Izuku once again, and he responded, "When I entered the monitor room, I noticed that the camera outside of this room blinked green. Later, when I entered this room, I saw the small light on the camera blink red, indicating that the camera inside had switched from recording to live feed. This meant that the camera outside was on a live feed and had turned back to record mode when the light turned green." However, the other students were having trouble understanding his explanation. "Ah, midoriya-san I am not sure I understand the red and green light part clearly, can you explain?" Jiro asked and all the other students nodded.

"Of course," he said, turning to face the classroom. "I want to make sure everyone understands how our school cameras work. They have a small light on the circular lens at the bottom. When the light is off, the cameras are always recording. However, if someone switches to the live feed to see what's happening in real-time, the light on the camera will blink red. This means that the camera was in recording mode, but someone with access to it opened the live feed. If someone turns off the live feed, the camera will go back to record mode, and the light on the camera will blink green. I hope this explanation clears up any confusion."

"I see, so when you entered you managed to notice the change in lights, meaning someone went out of live feed, and you also managed to catch the light on the camera inside blink red and realized that someone went from the first camera to the second," momo summarized.

"Yes, and I was watching for changes in the light on the camera from the various reflections on the monitor panels, when I saw the camera light blink green I went to investigate the lottery balls," Izuku explained the rest.

"I see, that was quite smart of you, young midoriya," nezu praised him.

"I am flattered sir," he said and bowed slightly towards the camera.

"Sir, since you have been watching us this entire time, can you please tell us if my theories were right?" izuku asked.

"Yes, I can, and I will," nezu answered

Now everyone's eyes widened slightly in excitement wanting to know the answer.

"Young midoriya all of your theories were right," nezu dropped the confirmation.

"No way,"

"So, he was right Afterall,"

"Man, that's so sick,"

"It seems he figured it all out without his quirk,"

"Wait so you figured it all out without your quirk or maybe you have an intelligence enhancement quirk?" questioned Mineta.

Now everyone looked again at izuku, if he used his quirk for that then things would make much more sense, but if he had that level of natural intelligence then he would establish himself as someone amazing. Either way, Izuku Midoriya was right now one of the best students in the class with his intelligence alone and if this was without his quirk then he would be that more amazing in their eyes.

Even nezu and the mystery person were on the edge of their seat, nezu because he knew very little about izuku's quirk, and the mystery man because knew he nothing at all.

Izuku looked at them all and said, "No my quirk has nothing to do with my intelligence, my intelligence is natural." He dropped the bomb.

.

It took a while for everyone to calm down but they eventually did, there were thousands of more questions they kept asking, but All Might had to end the class, they had 2 more classes to attend.

Soon the class began to walk out when izuku stopped and looked at the camera, "Principle Nezu?" he called out to see if he got a reply.

"Yes?" nezu answered.

Everyone stopped walking to see what izuku was doing.

Izuku continued, "During the trials, I noticed that sometimes the camera only blinked red," izuku informed," everyone but nezu got confused and started to think what that could mean.

But nezu caught on in seconds, "are you sure, young midoriya," nezu's voice sounded slightly serious this time which caught All Might off Guard.

"If Principle Nezu reacted like that then this is important," he realized, he wasn't sure what they were talking about.

"SIR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN," All Might questioned, he was ready for a battle if needed.

Izuku spoke up instead of Nezu. He turned to All Might and said, "When the camera switches from live to record mode, it should blink green. But it blinked red, which means..." Izuku trailed off.

Nezu interrupted, "It means that a second operator was watching you all, using a different system. They might even be watching us right now. I suggest you tell me who you are, or I will find you myself."

Nezu's tone was calm, but those who knew him also knew that he was not happy. They could sense that he was dangerous in that moment.

The mystery man knew he had to come out now, "It's me Aizawa, now drop the tone please," the mystery man was revealed to be Aizawa.

"Aizawa sensei!" most of the class shouted with surprise in their voices.

"Yes, it's me, I wanted to see how these problem children would do," his tired voice came again.

"Ah, thank goodness it's you Aizawa sensei, I got worried for a second for my student's safety,"

"Yeah, as if the kids would be in danger inside this school," Aizawa replied.

"HAHA AIZAWA SENSEI, GLAD TO KNOW YOU WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS!" All Might explained.

"I just wanted to know how much headache the new problem child would be nothing more," Aizawa deflected the comment.

"Problem children?" izuku wondered.

"New problem child?" Aizawa called.

"Yes sensei?" izuku replied in his normal respectful tone.

"Today I was watching to see if you have what it takes to be in the hero course, and for now I am letting you stay," Aizawa's tone hardened, "however, if in future I deem you unfit to be here, I will expel you, and that goes for the rest of the class as well," he said and the camera blinked, indicating that he left the feed.

A few seconds of silence later all might speak, "I-I think it's about time for you kids to go back to your classes," he said, only izuku noticed that he looked a bit tired and there was also a hint of nervousness but izuku decided not to address it.

However, while waking izuku slightly tilted his head to look at All Might without being noticed and concentrated on his quirk to gauge All Might. No matter how I look at it, there is no way I can even last a minute against him," he turned his head again and looked forward and closed his eyes in deep thought, "but that will not stop me from achieving my dream, this just means I have a long road ahead of me and I am not giving up," he opened his eyes, "in fact, I feel even more motivated and excited for the road ahead," he then looked around to see his classmates walking and couldn't stop the small smile that appeared on his face, "and I have a feeling that I won't have to be completely alone anymore." With that, he joined his classmates to finish the rest of his classes.

Chapter-1.8

A few hours later the second day was finally over and some students had already left the school.

"Hey where is midoriya-san," Mina asked the remaining students in the class.

"don't know did he leave already?" kaminari asked standing with Sero and kaminari.

"I saw him leave earlier," tokoyami who was leaving the class turned to inform from the door.

"Well, that was quick, I wonder why, maybe he was in a rush" uraraka added.

"Maybe he had to catch his train home," Sero theorized.

"Yeah, maybe that's it, man I wanted to know him more he's so smart, like crazy smart," Mina said excitedly at the end.

"You can say that again, he basically through the school completely today," Jiro added.

"Yes, that alone is amazing, and who knows maybe he has a super strong quirk too," Momo joined in the conversation.

"And he seems like a kind person too, you could basically see the kindness in his eyes," Asui chimed in as well.

"Whatever the case is I believe we all can learn something from him," Ida said.

…

Outside the school, izuku was walking away with a small lime-colored minimalist backpack that had a small pocket on the front and one large main pocket big enough to store his notes and some books.

Izuku had just witnessed what seemed to be a conversation between All Might and Bakugo from afar. However, it seemed like All Might was struggling to communicate as Bakugo had his back turned. Izuku felt grateful to All Might for trying to help Bakugo, especially since bakugo appeared to be hurting after his defeat. Izuku being as kind-hearted as he is wanted to support his classmate in some way, but he believed that getting words of encouragement from the person who defeated him would not be helpful. Moreover, it was the first time Izuku had met bakugo, so he decided to trust All Might to aid Bakugo. As such, Izuku headed back home.

15 minutes later he reached an apartment building, the closest one to the U.A., that's where he lived for now. Unlike what his classmates had theorized, izuku didn't have any train to catch, in fact, he lived just a 15-minute walk away from school.

…

Around that time, Principle Nezu was on a phone call with Aizawa and All Might on a private line.

Aizawa began first, "Why is All Might here," he questioned.

"Because I believe you both wanted to talk about the same topic or should I say the same person," nezu replied.

"I am not going to waste my time, I want to talk about midoriya, All Might if you are here for him then stay on the call," Aizawa said.

"Yes, I wanted to discuss him as well, I guess you also noticed how different he is from the other students, right Aizawa-san?" All Might questioned, his voice now at a normal volume and a lot more different.

"Yes, the kid got some observation not normal even for most pros," Aizawa agreed, "what can you tell us nezu,"

"Well, I cannot tell you much and I have good reasons for it,"

"What can you tell us," All Might asked.

"What do you want to know?" nezu turned the question.

"Tell me why his information file is classified and needs higher authority, even the information on his age is restricted, and any file related to the entrance exam doesn't even exist," Aizawa complained.

This surprised All Might "His file is classified?"

"Yeah, only his name is visible everything else is classified, that's the real reason why I was watching the class today, what can you say about that," Aizawa asked nezu.

"As I said, I have good reasons to hide his information, but if you want, I can tell you about the non-existing entrance exam files," nezu said.

"Please do," All Might added.

"Well, the reason his entrance exam doesn't exist is because he didn't have one," nezu informed shocking the other two.

"What! Then how did he get in, "All Might asked loudly and Aizawa waited for the answer also confused.

"Well, he was scouted by me personally, I saw potential in him and he said he wanted to help people so I personally invited him to this school I just asked for a written exam and he qualified on an academic level as well and here he is!" nezu informed shocking the other two even more.

Not once in U.A. high's history was a student admitted without an entrance exam, into the hero course, but since nezu did it now just means he had seen izuku show immense skill for his age.

"Why nezu," Aizawa asked sharply, all trace of tiredness gone from his voice.

"That is where I draw the line, but what I can say is that izuku is not to be feared, he is only skilled, not evil in any way and it is our duty to help him and his generation of children to grow into fine heroes," nezu said making sure that All Might and Aizawa didn't get any wrong idea's about izuku.

"Relax I am not doubting the kid," Aizawa reassured, and All Might agreed.

"If anything, I am more worried about him catching your interest," Aizawa thought to himself.

A few more seconds passed.

"Anything he did that we didn't notice today," All Might asked.

"Yes, actually," nezu said.

Aizawa sighed, "explain,"

"Gladly," nezu began, "today when he mentioned young bakugo and young Todoroki being superior, the entire class became disheartened, but he quickly motivated them as well, do you know why he did that?" nezu questioned.

"Too motiva-," All Might was cut off by Aizawa.

"Just cut to the chase, I wanna sleep," he said.

"Very impatient, and rude" nezu said as All Might agreed internally like a child after being cut off like that, nezu continued, "Young Midoriya played a little mind game on his classmates," he informed.

"Mind game?" All might repeated.

"Yes, mind game, young midoriya first bluntly told them that young bakugo and young Todoroki were far superior then the others but quickly recovered their motivation, to avoid long-term problems,"

"Long-term problems?" Aizawa asked.

"Yes, long-term problems, normally as time passes, class 1-A will notice how vastly talented and gifted young bakugo and young Todoroki are and will soon begin to lose confidence in themselves, some who have confidence issues or quirks that are not combat-suited might even drop out of the hero course altogether, they are young children after all, however young midoriya already put the idea in their mind that they will have to work harder than those two to keep up with them, and presented himself as a supportive and encouraging figure in the class, now the chances of it happening have lowered and if in the future such a problem arises then they might be more willing to talk to young midoriya and not give up, get it," on the other ends of the line All Might and Aizawa were again left surprised.

"He even thought that far ahead," Aizawa muttered.

"But when and how did he realize that possibly," All Might asked lightly.

Nezu waited patiently waiting to see if either of the two realized that,"

After a few more seconds Aizawa's eyes widened and he began speaking, "he realized the problem when the class shocked at Todoroki's display of his ice powers!" he realized.

And All Might's eyes also widened in realization.

"Correct!" nezu said, "at least that's the most likely answer,"

"I see so young midoriya just wanted to help his classmates today," All Might said after a few more seconds of silence.

"Yes, that's the most likely answer, I have also noticed that he is very considerate of others, one of the reasons why I asked him to join the school," nezu said.

"I see, anything else?" All Might asked.

"His costume's effective, dark, and baggy theme will help with camouflage," Aizawa added.

"you like it because it's like your own?" All Might asked genuinely.

"Shut up," Aizawa ignored the question altogether.

"Companies like to add their own things to the costume, but this company seems to have not done that, which company made his costume,"

"His swords and gloves as well as his glove were made here at U.A. and his clothing is from LDS," Nezu said, but it sounded like he was trying to restrain a giggle at the end.

"what's LDS?" All Might questioned.

Aizawa wanted to know as well, neither knew what company that was.

Nezu sounded amused and spoke, "By LDS I mean the Local Departmental Store pfff," he said.

On the other hand, Aizawa and All Might were still processing the new information and when they did only one thought came to mind.

"What?" they thought.

"Are you serious?" Aizawa asked for confirmation.

"Yes, and the receipt he submitted to provide the source of the clothes proves he even bought them on a 60% sale," nezu said still sounding amused.

While the information was amusing, Aizawa was not in the mental space to spare a chuckle.

All Might on the other hand.

"There was a sale in the departmental store!" He exclaimed loudly, which made nezu chuckle even more and Aizawa took a second to look at his phone with a look that said, 'How stupid are you?'

"that's your concern you idiot- and you're the number one hero why are you worried about money?" Aizawa reprimanded.

"s-sorry," he said sheepishly with a nervous chuckle.

"Look at you too becoming friends," nezu planned his escape.

"Friends?" All Might spoke.

Aizawa on the other hand, "friends? what are you saying nezu," Aizawa asked sharply, he sounded offended, something nezu noticed but All Might didn't.

"Aizawa-san you finally see me as a friend?" All Might sounded hopeful.

"No!" Aizawa replied quickly.

"Now now, no need to be shy Aizawa-san," nezu said.

"I am not shy and stop doing that," Aizawa again replied quickly.

"It's ok Aizawa-san, no need to be shy my friend," All Might stared with a cheerful voice and a smile.

"I am not shy-" Aizawa was cut off by nezu.

"Well, you two can deepen your friendship I will disconnect now, bye," nezu said cheerfully and pressed the button to end the call from his side with the last words he heard on the call.

Aizawa's, "Wait! Why you, you little rat-," and they were overlapped with All Might's, "So you want to hang out later friend!" he sounded cheerful.

And with that nezu's plan to disconnect from the call was successful. After all he didn't want to give away too much information on izuku,"

Nezu leaned back in his chair and recalled the moment when Aizawa had asked him why izuku was enrolled in the hero course.

Of course, while it would take All Might some time, nezu was sure that Aizawa would catch on to the fact that izuku's intelligence wasn't the reason for his enrolment since nezu had mentioned that izuku had to take an academic exam, if Aizawa figured that out then good, because nezu wanted him too, as for what izuku did to get nezu's attention.

Remembering how he met Izuku Midoriya, nezu let out a sigh.

Approximately 2 months ago, around February, a boy was found unconscious on the southern coast, some low-ranking heroes found him and he was taken to the hospital following the standard procedure.

He was heavily injured suffering with several of his bones and ribs broken, there were cuts and some minor stab wounds on non-lethal spots, burns and he also suffered from internal bleeding there were signs of Malnutrition, but luckily no permanent damage and he would make a full recovery. He was taken to a hospital. The unconscious boy after 2 weeks of being nourished by medical technology showed a strong and well-trained physique, stronger than most normal people would.

A total of three weeks later the boy woke up around eleven in the night, (11:00 P.M.). when the news reached the heroes, they decided to check up on him while the nurses were told to wait till the heroes made sure everything was safe. Before anyone came to check on him, the boy was still in the process of waking up and hadn't realized much about his surroundings, when the first hero went inside the room and closed in on the boy, the kid attacked the hero by grabbing his throat and knocking him out, but the hero had his communicator turned on which alerted the other heroes in the building by his sounds of suffocation. On the other hand, the boy had knocked out the first hero and had finished removing the needles from himself when the second hero showed up this time a female, she tried to capture the boy, but the boy, on the other hand, had entered his fight or flight response and his body chose to fight on instinct, and he to the hero's shock had defeated her swiftly, knocking her out, soon more heroes arrived and met the same fate as the first two, a total of 9 heroes were left unconscious on the ground, but there were a total of 25 heroes stationed in the entire hospital due to it being in a populated area, however, what defeated the boy was not any hero but his lack of energy, he had passed out due to overexertion.

2 days later the boy woke up again, this time being treated like a villain tied to his bed. But this time he was much more cooperative. Due to his actions earlier, the information about him was shared with both nezu and a detective known for his 'lie detector' quirk and the two had decided to investigate the boy.

The boy answered his questions truthfully without any problems, apparently, he mistook the heroes as kidnapers because of in his words, 'their weird outfits confused him' and he was unable to think properly because of all the medications and since he had just woken up after 3 weeks, he was still tired and confused about his location. Later when everything was solved, he was forgiven as his actions were a result of poor health and in his intentions, self-defence. He also told them that he was injured in an accident.

The poor boy had lost his memory in the accident, of the recent days and doesn't remember who he ended up near the sea.

He had to stay at the hospital till he recovered, during his stay, once he was able to, he apologized to all the heroes he had harmed, which they accepted once he learned about the full situation, and started thinking about changing their costume's after learning about his thoughts on them.

It was about two more weeks later when he had almost finished his recovery, which was quite fast. It was also around that time that nezu had visited him and asked him to join U.A. high school and after a long conversation the boy accepted the offer, this boy then introduced himself as Izuku Midoriya. Izuku was then introduced to U.A. high's school nurse, recovery girl who healed him with her quirk.

Nezu came back from his memory lane.

"He was able to defeat 9 heroes, granted the lowest ranking hero was in the seven hundred's (700's), and the highest ranking was in the two hundred's (200's) but the CCTV footage showed that young midoriya was able to knock all of them out in a single blow before they were able to even activate their quirks, even if they were ranked low they were trained and experienced in the field but couldn't do a thing against him, not to mention young midoriya wasn't fully healed, because of that I can't tell how strong he actually is, but I have a hunch you are stronger that most of your classmates." Nezu thought.

But then his eyes narrowed slowly almost with a hint of sadness, "he's both strong and smart, but that power comes with a price." He thought.

He leaned forward and reached to his computer system and opened his legal files, "these files were created recently," he thought, "and before that izuku midoriya did not even exist, no school records, no doctor appointment, nothing, not even a birth certificate, it's as if you appeared out of thin air," nezu paused, "there are only four things we know about him," he paused, "his name, his age, his dissociative amnesia, and lastly," then nezu's eyes narrowed slowly with a softer look.

At that moment izuku's elevator reached the 16th floor and walked towards his apartment, he got there reached into his back pocket with his right hand, and pulled out his wallet, he took out a keycard and swiped it through the door's lock system and entered, "I'm home." He called, but no one answered, the apartment was dark, but izuku seemed to have not cared, he took off his shoes and walked in to finish his night routine and head to bed, "after all there is no one here other than me," he thought.

"And lastly, he's an orphan," nezu finished.
