Having finished their class for the day, Izuku and Momo were hanging out in a classroom and spending the last hour or so before they had to go home, organizing and meeting with other class presidents. They were currently walking through the halls, talking about the class and their new classmates. Neither ever knew the things they share in common, mostly about academics and hero stuff.

"That's why I think you should ask Uraraka out." Momo said as she walked with pride. She started to give Izuku advice thanks to her expertise in love manga. Izuku was a blushing mess, trying to walk faster. The time they spent on talking with each other led them to talk about their classmates. She took the opportunity to talk about his little crush on the gravity girl. The two teens made it outside the school. Izuku sighed while Momo just chuckled at his nervousness. "Sorry, I guess I got carried away." she said, waiting at the entrance for her ride.

"It's fine. Kacchan got me used to the embarrassment." Izuku leaned his head on the wall of the entrance with a sigh. Like his friend said, it was way too obvious to hide his feelings. "He would always tease me about this kinda stuff." Izuku said after he saw his phone. He scrolled through old photos when they were still in Aldera Junior High.

Momo nodded. "You don't mind if you send me those. I want to use them as teasing against him."

"Sure thing." Izuku replied, sending them to Momo. As he sends it a black car that looks way too expensive pulls up in front of the two teens.

She set her backpack in the car as he walked off. "You want a ride home?"

"Nah don't worry. I need the exercise anyways"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah don't worry. Maybe next time."

"Alright." Momo enters. "See you tomorrow, Midoriya."

"See you tomorrow, Yaoyorozu."

Izuku made it to the train station. He was lucky that he sat next to no one. He didn't care but it was calming.

Izuku left the train station and headed straight home. It was a light walk, which gave him time to take hero notes.

His Chakra control was getting better. Izukustill couldn't figure out the symbols he needed to make a perfect attack, even the internet research wasn't working. He got better in using his Chakra in different ways like using plants to tangle objects. Though he still needs to learn from other pros like Kamui Woods' ultimate move.

All he needs is to practice. Not to the extent of getting less sleep but he still practiced for the majority of the day.

Izuku kept walking but realized until he felt someone running into him. He stopped on his tracks and he saw the boy that ran into him stumbled back.

"OH, I'm sorry!" Izuku yelped, he kneeled to check on the boy. "I didn't hurt you did I?"

The boy stared up at him, covered in what seemed to be dirt. He looked to be eight years old with short spiky brown hair, blue eyes, and a small chip in his tooth. He wore a gray helmet with a hole at the top for his hair to stick out of, which amused Izuku a bit.

"Young master, are you alright? I told you to not run off on your own!"

Izuku looked up to see an adult, he looked to have dark hair and black sunglasses. He is seen in a standard casual outfit with a bandanna. If Katsuki was with him, he would say he looked identical to Tenya, a serious stickler.

The man quickly checked the young boy for any serious injuries before he got to look at Izuku. "My apologies. He ran off during our training. We need to be going now, we don't want your grandfather to worry. Come on, young master."

"You don't have to apologize. I was the one that bumped into him." Izuku stood up. "I hope you have a good day." The young master said something that surprised Izuku, "What was that?"

One of his hands pointed towards Izuku and had a grin which revealed his chipped tooth. His voice was loud and confident. "I'll make you my boss! And in exchange, please teach me so that I can beat my gramps!"


"I'm sorry!" The instructor bowed as he was on the phone.

"It's fine, Ebisu, as long as he is okay he can train with this Midoriya kid." The grandfather said through the phone. His grandson was always energetic, but now. He wondered how he turned out like this.

"I'll keep an eye on him! You don't have to worry!" Ebisu said as the grandfather hung up.

The fact that he is training with an U.A. student seemed to put the grandfather at ease. Hopefully he would pick up traits fitting for a hero.

"You got this, Konohamaru!" Izuku encouraged the young master, who had a boulder on his back. "Just a few more then you can start hitting something!" Konohamaru kept pushing himself as he kept going up and down. "You're almost there!"

"Yes boss!" Konohamaru kept going until he finished his sets. He moved the boulder off his back and sat up with sweat on his face.

"Next up, punching a tree!"

Ebisu looked at the two boys with a stern look. He was an elite tutor, he taught many future pro heroes. Looking at the training it seemed intense even for him. If you want to be a hero from him, becoming a pro is easy. He was the number one shortcut into becoming a pro. "Alright you two, break time!"


"Can I ask, why are you going after your grandpa?" Izuku asked Konohamaru as he sipped his water on a log.

"Grandpa gave me the name Konohamaru. I'm named after his company. And even though everyone knows my name, nobody ever calls me that. When someone is talking about me or calling me, all they ever see is the head of a big corporation. Noone sees me as me. I'm sick of it. That's why I want to be a hero."

Izuku tapped the head of Konohamaru, "It's not going to be that easy. Being a pro hero is a title, a title that means you show perseverance and save people." Izuku looked up at the sky, "There are going to be difficulties, I've trained until I lost myself, but I had people that acknowledge me, but that, all that was incredibly difficult." Izuku got up and grabbed his backpack, "You need to prepare yourself."

"Prepare?" Konohamaru asked.

"If you want to be a pro hero which everyone will acknowledge. There ain't going to be any shortcuts!"

Konohamaru saw Izuku with wide eyes. He saw him with bright eyes. He knew if he wanted to be a hero, he had to beat him first.

"Blah- stop lecturing me like you know everything." Izuku looked at Konohamaru with a curious look. "I'm not letting you be my boss anymore." He screamed, "From now on we're rivals!"

Both boys smiled at each other. Konohamaru grinned with a tint of red on his face. Izuku saw that he was serious, and he was happy for him.

"Sorry, but starting tomorrow I'm taking my first step as being a pro hero, but one day I'll fight with everything I got, Konohamaru."

The way of a hero is still far away though knowing this, Ebisu smiled kindly as he watched over this young man's large dream and the difficult journey that lies ahead of him.
