TwinstarDragon: First thing first, no he didn't. His luck was just that bad when it came to his real life and gacha. Second, finally, someone who agrees with how Izuku was hated by the fandom. Third, it's not a quirk.

dtutu134: Thanks for the review. Antagonists with reasons for acting horrible or misguided are a good idea, but realistically speaking, there are just people who just want to do bad things for the sake of bad things happening. And for the harem-seeking MC, given how Horikoshi designs his female characters, there's gotta be that one person who seeks to create a harem. But, don't worry, none of the characters are actively seeking for a harem. And for them not knowing each other, it's not weird since they could think that they're background characters.

UA's Infirmary

"This is a lot of muscle strains." Izuku flinches as he feels the short old lady (Recovery Girl) next to him lifts up his right arm and then forcibly moves it. She then drops his arm, causing him to flinches again before suddenly, stretches her lips and kisses Izuku's arm.

In an instant, Izuku's body glows in green light and he feels his pain disappear. He then feels light-headed before he yawns and shakes his head.

"Well, at least Toshinori picks up a good successor for One For All." The old lady states.

"W-what are you talking about? W-who's Toshinori? And what's One For All?" Izuku knows that Recovery Girl was in the secret of One For All, but he had to pretend he didn't know. Recovery Girl blinks before she smacks her forehead in utter disbelief.

"That fool!" Recovery Girl says in annoyance before looking at Izuku. "For your information, I know about One For All. I was the one patching that buffoon up, so I was informed in advance. Also, the buffoon's name is Toshinori Yagi, something that he somehow seems to forget to inform you for whatever reason!"

Izuku yelps as he feels a murderous aura emitting from her. Izuku can't help but gulp at the lady; whoever says 'Never mess with a White Mage' couldn't speak truer words.

"Anyways, I suggest you get some rests. Your muscle strains may have fully healed, but I would rather if you're not overdoing it." Recovery Girl says before pointing her giant syringe-shaped cane at Izuku, who simply gulps and nods because he notices that in the syringe, there's a needle ready to puncture his throat.

"Good, at least that idiot did one thing right: finding a successor with the right head in mind. Here's some gummies, and shoo." Izuku merely nods before consuming all the gummies at once. He blinks as he feels his stamina recovering before he looks at the hero.

"Recovery Girl-san," Izuku calls, getting her attention. "I know that it sounds weird to ask, but can you test if I somehow have a quirk besides One For All?"

"Why do you suddenly ask now? Didn't you check it when you were 4?" Recovery Girl asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Well...I did, and I was told to stop wasting time because every test result was negative. But, earlier...I somehow unlock something, like everything turns transparent, and humans suddenly turn into some sort of colorful light figures." After Izuku explains, he then sees RG freeze and stares at him.

"...I might have someone who could help you." Recovery Girl walks towards the table and starts writing something.

'I wasn't expecting that.' Yoichi comments. 'She acts like she knows but refuses to elaborate.' Izuku nods slightly at Yoichi's words.

"Here." Recovery Girl gives Izuku a piece of paper with 'Gran Torino: 080 - XXXX - XXX' written on top of it. This made Izuku turn pale out of fear and silently gulp. "Contact this man; he might be able to help you with your new power."

'So, it's not a quirk? She didn't say 'your quirk' but 'your power'.' Bruce points out as Izuku silently puts the piece of paper in his pocket. He mutters a 'thanks' before walking out of the infirmary.

'Well, it's nice to see Chiyo again after a while...' Nana says as Izuku blinks.

'You know Recovery Girl?' Izuku asks.

'Kid, I was the one who introduced the woman to those two buffoon. If I don't, Toshi wouldn't be alive today.' Nana says as Izuku shivers, dreading about his inevitable fate. 'Also, do you have to get Toshi in Chiyo's kill list like that?'

'Well, if I told her that I know a lot of things, she would tell Yagi about it, and then Yagi would get suspicious and start to interrogate me. And...I rather avoid such confrontation.' Izuku sweatdrops as his mind imagines his chibi self strangled by chibi All Might Simpson-style.

'You overthink about it.' En voices out.

'I rather not take the chance.' Izuku sighs. 'So many things are too different than what I know. I fear that everyone will suddenly act out of character, completely derails from the manga.'

'You're worried too much. Besides, I can confirm Toshi's the same as his manga and anime counterpart.' Nana says.

'That's nice to know.' Izuku sighs before blinking, noticing there are a group of 4 people talking with each other before one of them notices Izuku. Izuku gets a closer look and notices they're Uraraka, Hagakure, Kirishima, and Koda.

"Hey, Midori-bro!" Izuku blinks owlishly when Kirishima rushes towards him. "You're okay, bro? I heard from the others you're straining yourself to save their lives from a giant robot! I knew you're manly from simply cleaning an entire beach, but you somehow get manlier!"

"Y-yeah...I-I'm fine." Izuku curses himself for stuttering, and it doesn't help that he is nervous due to the social skills he's unable to gain from any of his lifetimes.

"Wait, cleaning an entire beach?" Uraraka asks in surprise before shaking her head. "N-nevermind. M-Midoriya, I want to thank you for saving my life and giving me a tip for the exam, even though you didn't have to."

"Ah...i-it's fine. I just wanted to do it." Izuku brushes it off.

"I-I want to thank you as well. I thought I was a goner because everyone seemed to either ignore my cries or didn't even see me. Yet you somehow did and saved me." Hagakure says as she bows in gratitude.

"I-It wasn't necessary. I just did what I thought was right." Izuku says while waving his hands. "A-anyways, I'm glad that all of you. Also, sorry if I was too rough when carrying you three."

"Well, it's either that or we get crushed by the giant robot," Hagakure says as Koda nods before signing at him. Izuku stares at him, slightly surprised that he can understand what he's signing and unconsciously signs back, much to Koda's surprise.

"Oh, you understand sign language!? Where did you learn that?" Uraraka asks.

"I...used to have a classmate who's not only lacking in the capability of using his inner voice, but his quirk is literal explosions. I...was afraid I might get deaf because of him, so I learned about it." Izuku explains that a certain part of the memories flash in his mind. He also remembers how he once offered Ka-Bakugou to learn, but only to get beaten by the brat.

"Well, at least you didn't go deaf and the knowledge is useful." Hagakure points out as Izuku chuckles a bit.

"I suppose," Izuku says.

"Hey, how about we all exchange numbers!? I mean, we're all going to the U.A. together anyways, so what better way to stay in contact." Hagakure suggests as she pulls out her phone.

"That's a great idea!" Kirishima says excitedly before looking at Izuku.

"That sounds nice," Uraraka says while pulling out her phone.

"Sure," Izuku says with a smile as Koda meekly nods. After exchanging numbers, Hagakure immediately creates a group chat and invites everyone into it.

U.A. is Our Future!

[Invisigirl invites Izuku Midoriya and 3 other contacts into the group chat.]

[Invisigirl changes Izuku Midoriya's name to Even the Boys Want Him]

[Invisigirl changes Ochako Uraraka's name to Gravity? What's That!?]

[Invisigirl changes Eijirou Kirishima's name to The Rock]

[Invisigirl changes Koji Koda's name to Disney Princess]

Izuku can't help but be flustered at the nickname given by Hagakure before looking at her while ignoring the laughter in his head. From her exaggerated body gestures, she seems to wink at him. Izuku grumbles before typing something into the phone, not noticing how others react to the nickname.

[Even the Boys Want Him changes his name into Fuck Determined Fate]

Everyone immediately looks at Izuku with a puzzled look, who simply shrugs.

"...I don't know whether to be surprised at your capability to curse or what even is your nickname means?" Uraraka voices out everyone's thoughts.

"Remember my former classmate? Not only he has no inner voice, but he's capable of cursing others like how chihuahuas never stop barking." Izuku says as everyone snorts. "Also, the nickname was more personal."

"Well, we won't ask. But, if it is personal, maybe you should change it." Hagakure suggests as Uraraka nods.

"Meh, this nickname is my start to get over it," Izuku says as everyone hesitantly nods.

"A-anyways, how about we go to the arcade now!? Maybe act as a break and distraction from the exam?" Kirishima suggests.

"Great idea!" Hagakure excitedly clasped her hands together as Uraraka simply nodded. Izuku looks at Koda, who meekly nods in agreement before sighing and giving Kirishima a thumbs up.

"Awesome! Let's go!" Kirishima cheers as everyone can't help but laugh in excitement. Toshinori, who just walked out of the U.A. Gate, sees Izuku talking with a group of kids his age. He can't help but smile at him, glad that Izuku got a chance to be a normal kid.

"So, that green haired boy, he's your successor?" Toshinori yelps in surprise before looking down to see Nedzu standing next to his legs. "I have to say, he shows to be a capable student, especially when you told me he has just got his quirk this morning."

"Y-yeah..." Toshinori winces as he looks at his new boss with a sheepish expression. "In hindsight, that was a bad idea..."

"Indeed," Nedzu's blunt yet chipper response hits Toshinori like a truck crashing into his skinny self. "But, look at the bright side, your successor seems to be smart enough to know how his quirk. Then again, I expect no less from a kid who got 100% on the exam."

"W-what!?!" Toshinori asks in shock. He knows his successor is smart, given the analysis of his book and taking chances of asking his predecessors how OFA works in vestige realms, but he wouldn't expect him to get a perfect score from an exam written by Nedzu himself. He pauses before he recalls what Nedzu said earlier.

"Hold on, why did you say he's a 'capable student' like he's already a student of U.A.?" Toshinori asks as Nedzu merely grins knowingly, causing Toshinori to widen his eyes, a surge of pride bubbled up in his chest.

A Week Later

Midoriya Household

Izuku enters his room, takes off his clothes, and tosses it into the laundry basket near the door before grabbing a towel and a new set of clothes. He immediately walks into the bathroom before taking a shower, letting out a sigh of relief.

'That was a great practice of OFA; you manage to amp your limit to 8% now instead of only using for several seconds. And not to mention, you can tap 10% at a short limited of time.' Yoichi says as Izuku merely nods.

'Do any of you guys know how I progress that fast? I mean, my manga counterpart took months to amp into 8%.' Izuku asks in confusion.

'Well, first, you are far bolder than him when it comes to increasing percentage. That version taps Full Cowl at 5% and was too comfortable in there until he had no choice but to amp up when against Bakugou.' Hikage points out.

'And unlike him, you refuse to break your bone and continue to use OFA while improving at a steady pace. You did more than just punching or flicking at 100%.' En says as Izuku hums, washing his hair and body with shampoo and soap, respectively, before cleansing it with water.

'So, not contacting Gran Torino?' Izuku flinches slightly before shaking his head.

'I rather ask All Might about it. I want to talk with those two in a room together so I don't need to repeat myself.' Izuku replies.

'And what do you plan to tell them?' En asks curiously.

'The truth.' Izuku says as everyone went silent.

'...the entire truth? You sure?' Banjo asks.

'...yeah. I may as well tell Mom about it.' Izuku replies. 'I rather not cause unnecessary dramas between me and my close ones. I've seen too many similar shits that don't end well.' He turns off the shower before grabbing a towel to wipe himself off and grabs his shirt as he puts it on.

"Uh..." Izuku blinks when he notices that his shirt feels smaller than before, his abs are somewhat exposed, and the sleeves look like they hug his biceps tightly, the shirt seems like something trying to rip it off from both sides. "I...don't remember I ever got a growth spurt."

'Nope, that's what happens when you keep using One For All without shattering your bones and muscles, as your body focuses on your growth rather than your recovery.' Nana explains. 'It does happen to me as well, as I was a short girl back then.'

'I still remember; I thought you were a middle-school student getting lost when I first met you-AHH!' Izuku blinks at En's first attempt at teasing in the vestiges, only for it to backfire in an instant as Nana tries to rip him apart, and judging from Hikage's and Banjo's grunts, it seems that they're trying to stop Nana.

'Bego...(Idiot...).' Izuku comments in a halfhearted tone before deciding to put on the rest of his clothes as it's better than being butt naked. He walks out of the door and looks at his mom (Still can't believe I got the best mom).

"Mom, I have a problem..." Izuku says sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Inko blinks as she looks at Izuku before she lights up.

"Oh, you finally got your growth spurt!" Inko says. "I was slightly worried that you may never have one, and you'll remain short forever."

"Mom, don't tease me." Izuku groans. His past life wasn't exactly short, but he feels self-conscious about it given that the majority of people he meets somehow get taller than him, and somehow, his current life seems to be even worse until now.

'Haha, you were quite short, you know?' Nana teases as Izuku's eyes twitch, ignoring his mom going into the room for some reasons.

'Diem lu, anak smp. (Shut it, middle-schooler).' Izuku retorts back, causing Nana to pause.

'...what did he says?' Nana asks as Izuku hears a silent laughter, not sure who it belongs to.

'Shut it, middle-schooler.' Kudo says in a serious tone, which causes whoever that silently laughing to burst out in laughter. Before Nana can retort, Inko returns while holding a set of clothes with a bigger size than his.

"Here, put these on. We're going to the mall for shopping." Inko says as Izuku blinks before nodding and looking at the clothes. It was a plain red shirt and a pair of black and white pants. Izuku can't help but notice a faint scent of cigars from the clothes, which leads Izuku to come up with one conclusion.

"...mom, this is dad's, right?" Izuku says as Inko goes stiff before hesitantly nods. "...may I ask what happens? You never talk about it."

"...we have a falling out..." Inko mutters.

"...it's because I'm quirkless, isn't it?" Inko didn't say a word, but it was enough to answer Izuku's question. "...once we come back from the mall, let's burn everything that belongs to him."

"I-Izuku!" Inko gasps in shock.

"Mom..." Izuku says as he lowers himself. "When I was announced quirkless, you are the only one who remains by my side, cared for me, and raised me into who I am, and I'm very grateful. So, I return the favor by burning all the things that belong to that sorry excuse of a homewrecker who has the fucking balls to hurt you, Mom."

"Language!" Inko comically slaps Izuku's head, causing him to yelp in pain. "And how do you know if Hisashi had an affair with his boss' wife!?" Izuku froze when he heard that, giving Inko an incredulous look. "...you lucky guessed it, didn't you?" Izuku merely nods.

'Kalo sampe kita ketemu, gua akan sunat tuh bangsat! (If we ever meet face-to-face, I'll neuter that bastard!)' Izuku thinks darkly.

'...do I want to know?' Banjo asks.

'From his tone, no. The kid's got too...violent whenever his tone turns dark.' Bruce deadpanned. Izuku decides to go back to his room and put it on, and to his surprise, it manages to cover his abs now, but it is still somewhat tight.

"He must've been very skinny..." Izuku mutters as he adjusts his shirt before he hears a doorbell ringing. He walks out of his room and opens the door only to see an envelope with U.A. insignia on it.

"It's here." Without any hesitation, Izuku immediately grabs the letter, rushes into his room, and tears it off to reveal a holographic disk. Izuku turns on the disk and a holographic screen suddenly pops up.

"I am here as a projection!" All Might's full glory was displayed on the screen. "Now, those of you who watch this all might've thought, 'What's All Might doing here?', well let me tell you! With great power, there must also come with a great amount of paperwork!" Izuku can't help but snort. "My arrival in Musutafu was no coincidence, but not for any reasons you might expect. I am here as the new staff member of U.A.!"

"Cool," Izuku says, earning a snort from Nana.

'You sound so insincere.' Nana points out.

'Hey, I was never been a good liar.' Izuku retorts.

"Wait, I got to hurry up? What's with the rush?" All Might suddenly get himself distracted. "Hold up, I need to do it how many!? Okay, okay! I get it!" Izuku can't help but chuckle at the scene.

'Toshi...' Nana sighs in amusement.

"Anyways, young Midoriya, you have done very well in the exam! You got yourself 100% in your written exam, something that shouldn't be possible given that Nedzu's the one who wrote most of the questions! This alone will be enough for you to get you into General Studies, but I bet that's not what you want!" Izuku blinks, not expecting that.

"In the practical portion, you manage to gain yourself 45 Villain Points, which is enough for you to gain a seat in the Hero Course." Izuku can't help but cheer at the announcement, grinning ear-to-ear as the vestiges also cheer alongside him. "But!" Izuku and the vestiges stop. "That isn't the only thing! Let me show you!" The screen shows Uraraka, Hagakure, and Koda in front of the teacher's office, talking to Present Mic.

"E-excuse me, sir? D-Do you know an examinee named Izuku Midoriya, a green curly-haired boy with a plain-looking face?" Izuku feels like he got slapped by an invisible force. "I-is it possible for me to give him some of my points? H-he helps me despite not knowing me, so I was hoping I could've offered some of my points for him."

"M-me too! He could've left us alone, yet he still chose to help me even when he was busy helping her get out of danger." Hagakure says as Koda nods rapidly.

"He saved us, so please!" Uraraka begs the pro-hero. Izuku watches the scene with wide eyes. He thought that this scene wouldn't happen since he didn't get zero points, but not only does it happen, but multiple people offer him points. This causes a tear to escape his eyes, feeling grateful for their actions.

"How can a hero course reject those who save others and do the right thing? People might think this is just a mere lip service, but Heroics is a job that requires risking one's life to put that lip service into practice! So, we have Rescue Points, given by a panel of judges, as saving others is one basic thing we U.A. are looking at! This earns you, a whooping 90 Rescue Points, which immediately grants you the 1st place!" Izuku chokes as the screen displays scenes of him saving Hagakure, Koda, Shinsou, and Ochako in the test sites.

'Seems that your empathy pays off.' Kudo mused.

'That's not empathy, it's basic human decency.' Hikage retorts.

"And let's not forget, Rescue Points for them as well!" Izuku blinks when the screen shows the trio gaining rescue points. "Choosing to offer help for someone else despite knowing the risk they receive is something we also can't overlook!"

Izuku lets out a sigh of relief, glad to know that his friends gained rescue points and allows them to secure seats in Hero Course. Suddenly, the screen shows the list of the entrance exam rankings. Izuku is curious and takes a look before his eyes widen in shock.

"E-eh!?"

1. Izuku Midoriya: VP - 45; RP - 90

2. Harumi Minobe: VP - 69; RP - 30

3. Hanzo Hasashi: VP - 80; RP - 15

4. Kenshi Takechi: VP - 79; RP - 9

5. Katsuki Bakugou: VP - 75; RP - 0

"W-w-w-what!?!?!!!?" Izuku shakes his head in utter disbelief, slapping his face to make sure he doesn't see things. "H-how!?"

'Who are they!?' Banjo asks in disbelief as Izuku hears a book flipping at high speed.

'T-this doesn't make sense!' Hikage exclaims in shock.

'...what the hell?' Kudo asks in surprise.

'Fuck...' Izuku covers his mouth in shock and collapses onto the seat. 'Fuck...'

"Izuku, are you okay?" Inko suddenly knocks on the door in concern.

"Y-yeah, mom...I'm fine. I passed the exam." Izuku calms himself down, trying not to be panicked.

"Really!?!" Inko immediately opens the door violently and pulls Izuku into a tight hug. "Congratulations!"

"Y-yeah..." Izuku smiles before looking at the screen. Worries slowly bubble up in his chest. His biggest advantage he had against this world slowly turns useless and he fears what changes in the future.

To be continued
