-*Huff* *Huff* does this mean *huff* i dont need to pay for these classes? *wheeze*

this kid just beat the best student in this class, and he had no quirk...

-AHEM... well i uh.. you know what, yeah sure, you can learn from me and ojiro here, for free, just get along with everyone and everything will be taken care of

i helped up ojiro from the ground and layed him out sitting on the wall, i left him there for about 5 minutes, he had a big red mark on the side of his cheek that made me sweat, I JUST MET THIS GUY AND I KNOCKED HIM OUT! WHAT IT HE GETS MAD OR OR OR-

ojiro tensed up at my mumbling and like in a flash jumped up kicked off the wall and hit me with a spinning tail whip on my side

*THUD*

ojiros face went pale, and began to sweat, i walked it off but none the less it hurt badly

-OW! Is that part of your quirk too...

-Izuku... youre um... bleeding...

-huh is that so?

maybe it was the lack of energy i had from getting to the dojo and having to fight a martial artist with a tail, plus the beating i got from said martial artist, and including the blood i was loosing, but i dont think i had it in me to stand any longer

oh man... wake me up to go eat- oji- *CRASH*

-wha-what?

-WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR MASHIRAO GET HIM PATCHED UP!

-Y-YES SIR!

ojiro and mr geni both picked up deku and brought him into the changing rooms where they took out a first aid, geni being more experienced was the one tp apply the first aid while ojiro was freaking out running in circles praying he didnt kill one off his newest friends

is he my friend now? What am i saying i almost just killed the guy! What if hes already dead im to young to go to juvie, it wasnt my fault, PLEASE DONT BE DEAD IZUKUUUU!


ACK! my head... what even happened, oh... thats right... ojiro flinched and tail whipped the crap out of me, does this mean i lose?

-I-I-IZUKU!, OH MY GOD YOU ARENT DEAD THANK GOD!

ojiro came in flying and gave me a huge hug, he started crying like a baby thinking ke killed me, in reality he had pushed me onto the wall with a mirror, but it wad slightly cracked and a shard had just cut my head. It wasnt a serious cut but the exhaustion from everything experienced today was to imense.

- ojiro im fine!, its nothing serious man.

-still midoria, that was impressive what you did, how long have you been training, i mean, for a teenager youre in good shape, and you took someone down with a physically altering quirk, with no gear and some fatigue, how were you even able to manage that.

- i-it rea-really isnt anything s-special!, i mean ever since i was little i wanted to be a hero... but when i turned four and was tested, they told me i had no quirk, not long after i got in a pretty bad accident that left me with this scar

i pulled the gi down to reveal the huge scar on my chest, ojiro was focus but had an obvious nervousness on his face, as for Mr.Geni, he was firm, arms crossed with a frown, he was in deep thought like he was trying to come up with something

-some kind of fire quirk? Its clear that it isnt some normal wound that would happen on a normal day, someone attacked you and left you to die huh.

-something like that, its really wasnt his fault though, i was in the way...

Mr. Geni slapped me, right across the face, he was dead set on me, his gaze was strong, but it was warm, is this how he got his assault charges?

-How can you say its your fault, when you were left with the burden of a scar, you deserve the right to be mad yet you stand here acting like you were in the wrong

-because i- look just let it go, im sorry Mr.Geni...

-its sensei now, youre a student at the Mr.Geni martial arts school after all and i expect you to work hard, i wont pester you any longer, but i hope some day you open up.

-m-mr geni- THANK YOU SIR, FOR THIS GREAT OPORUNITY!

-okay kid you dont have to cry all over my floors... NOW GO DRESS OUT, TOMMOROW 5:00 SHARP


(In the locker rooms)

the dojo had little students in total it was about 9 student, it felt like a close friend group more than anything, ojiro and I got along well, after that fight we talked about what we wanted to eat and everyone showed me their quirks, i got to finally got to write some new things in my notebook

-what do you think about the Dojo izuku?

-Everyone is so nice and supportive! It feels nicer than the other classes im taking, Mr.geni wanted to ask me about how i found his school, and i told him that i search for retired heros that teach to learn as much as i could from them!

-i guess that means you want to be a hero them huh izuku?

-more than anything! And i wont let my dream go!

- is that so? Well ill have you know i want to be a hero too, so i better see you become one

-where do you think of applying?

-the one and only, the best of the best, UA

-UA?!?! I MEAN I DONT DOUBT YOU BUT ARENT THEIR ACCEPTANCE RATES SUPER LOW?!

-thats why im going to try my hardest, i will be a hero, i cant sit and watch innocent people be attacked anymore, i want to do something about it...

-to be honest, ive been working hard to even get a chance at UA, not too long ago they changed a rule that you needed a quirk, and ever since then ive been trying extra hard, i study almost every day to make sure i get accepted, but to be honest i still dont know if its enough.

-youll make it to UA, well be heros, together, you and me, prove everyone wrong izuku, show that someone can be a hero no matter what, you better get accepted, because ill just climb the ranks and leave you in the dust, you got that?!

-Y-Yeah! Its a deal! Well make it to UA no matter what!


(Izuku and ojiro finally go out to eat and chat)

we did end up getting sandwiches, we made jokes saying how we looked like a couple sitting together eating, we looked terrible though, we were all bruised and tired the person at the register asked if we were alright, and we just laughed and said it was a bet we made

*izuku and ojiro laughing*

-*chuckling* did you see when i took off my gloves and she saw the sweat the gagged

- PFFFFFFF- I DID SEE THAT

-*coughing* oh man that was good

the air got colder as we eat, we kept talking and joking untill i finally got to ask my big question

-hey um ojiro... so why did you end up joining that dojo, i know its hard to dig up his past but it isnt that hard, whyd you join?

-well originally i went to a different dojo, my sensei would talk about Mr.Geni calling him a fake thay ises his status to get women and money, and for some time i believed him after seeing his case of his charges, but it was this one night I...

ojiro looked down at his gloves, not for a second had i ever seen him take them off, it seemed like they held some significance to him

-I was out to late, went to go look for something i dropped, i went through an alley to take a shortcut and i was met with a knife on my neck, 3 guys all surrounding me, one of them blinded me with some kind of darkness quirk, and the other restrained me, they were beating me up untill i heard them scream and some fighting started.

ojiro sweat dripped from his forehead to his cheek, and he clenched his fist hard enough to hear yhe fabric stretching from his gloves

-Mr.Geni had seen me from a far and took out all of the thugs, when he helped me up he simply just walked away, i didnt know who he was untill i begged him to tell me, and that was when i begged him to take me under his wing, he denied me because of his status, but I refused, he helped me and saved my life, and i didnt want to keep training under people that hated on someone who was genuinely trying to change, ever since then Mr.Geni invited me to his dojo and i got more people to join, after some time he gifted me these gloves and told me to never give up, ive taken care of them since.

-*sniff* *sniffle* so... touching *crying*

-WHY ARE YOU CRYING IZUKU IT WASNT THAT SAD?

-IM SO SORRY OJIRO *crying profusely*

After that ojiro told me more about Mr.Geni abt his case and how he doesn't remember anything abt what he did and tried to fight against it, as well as somethings about his addiction to this secret substance it was mostly all the same as what i could find, as for me I explained my reasoning on why i joined and everything about my scar, he thought it was smart that i only took classes ex pro heros teach, but that its dumb that id put myself in classes with some sketchy guys, since they all havw a bad past, we said our goodbyes and went home


(izukus home)

-Hi mom!

-welcome back izuku honey! Foods almost finished so get ready and come eat!

-got it mom thank you!

the sun is going down and the moon is rising, at the dinner table my mom talked to about school and how my classes were going, and i got to tell her about the new friend i made, as well as everything that happened, her face was one of worry mixed with relief, my mom knows all about me looking for retired ex pro heros to get to know more about heroing, even though she thinks its sketchy and weird that id put myself in rooms with people with some kind of criminal record

-izuku! You got hit on the of your head!?

-and i even bled!

-YOU WHAT?!

-But mom you don't understand i dont have to pay for that class and i beat someone! WITH A QUIRK!

-*sigh* oh honey... what am i going to do with you...

-mooooom, this is good, im progressing, maybe i can be a hero, dont you know that they cha-

-changed the rules of UA to allow quirkless people into the school, you say it all the time, as much as i dont like it ill support you son

-i love you mom *smiling*

-i do too son, NOW HELP ME CLEAN THESE DISHES YOU GOOSE!

She ruffled my hair as she put away some dishes

while doing the dishes my mom would occasionally put things towards her with her quirk, sometimes i think if i would have a quirk like hers, i asked her this night if she ever wanted to be a hero herself

-mom? Did you ever wanna be a hero?

-*laughing* oh izuku everyones always thought about being a hero i just couldnt keep up, i made this drawing of myself in highschool, my hero name would have been kinesis and i thought that id control knifes and make them fly around and thats how id defeat my enemies *lauging*

-THATS SO COOL MOM!, but... whyd you give up?

-i fell inlove and trying to keep up with other students is hard, but eventually i had you and i was happy, very happy

-mom...

-yes izuku i know, its getting late, do you have homework?

-mom when have i ever had homework that i havent done? *smiling*

-im just making sure, now get some rest, you have to go back to that class tomorrow dont you? sleep well izuku, bye bye

-night mom!
