"Syr Flover" was standing outside the Hostess of Fertility, people watching. You never knew when you were going to find someone interesting in Orario-

A mile away, in Babel, she sat up straighter, staring at a green haired boy wearing a green vest. His soul was a kaleidoscope, colors swirling in his verdant soul. Red, purple, gold, black, all of them swirled in a facinating display.

"Excuse me?" Syr called, and the teen turned, a troubled look on his face.

"Yes?" He said, rubbing his arm, the sleeve rolling up just enough to show off a large patch of scarred tissue, smaller crags of scaring going down his arm and into his hand. Oh, he was a fighter. It made Freya's heart thrum in her chest. A rookie with scars, that was interesting.

"Are you part of a Familia?" Syr asked.

"Uh, no? I just got into town and was planning to find a place to stay. Before I found one-"

"Then come with me," Syr grabbed his hand, dragging him through the streets of Orario. He stumbled along, eyes wide as she dragged him towards Babel. Once they arrived, Syr pushed him into an elevator and had it accend to the top floor, leaving her behind.

At the same time, Freya stood up, pouring two glasses of wine and waiting for her guest to arrive while sending Syr back to the Hostess of Fertility. She watched the arrive, smiling at him, "Hello…?"

"Uh, Midoriya, Midoriya Izuku," the boy said, "Sorry, but, who are you? That weird girl just kinda dragged me here without answering any questions?"

"Ah, yes, I apologize for Syr's behavior, but she has a very discerning eye for talent. She probably wanted you to meet me before someone else snatched you up. I'm Freya, would you like a drink?"

"I'm- I'm a bit young to be drinking, Ms. Freya," Izuku said.

"Nonsense, old enough to fight, and I can tell from those scars that you've fought a lot, old enough to drink. Maybe whatever backwater place your from keeps people from drinking, but here in Orario, if you can be an adventurer, you can drink. So please, indulge."

Izuku took the crystal flute of offered wine carefully, swallowing, "Ms. Freya-"

"Just Freya, please," she said, noticing that her charm was doing nothing to him. Even more interesting.

"What exactly are you the Goddess of?"

"Beauty, War, Love," Freya said, casually touching Izuku's arm and feeling him jump, "would you like to join my Familia, Izuku. We're the strongest in Orario, and I can tell, you're very powerful."

"I guess? I haven't met any others," Izuku said.

"Good, take off your shirt and lie on your back," Freya said as she pricked her thumb, whule Izuku obeyed. The blood welled up, before dropping on Izuku's bare back.

Izuku followed Freya through the streets of Orario, confusion burning in his mind. He had arrived in this strange land two months ago, Arriving in the city a week before.

A land without Quirks, where those who fought monsters were called Adventurers, not Heroes. And the beating heart of it was the Labyrinth City Orario. Where the easiest way to get stronger was Falna, the blessing of the gods.

Freya split the dead with Odin, Yoichi provided, she was queen of the Valkyries.

She's surprisingly… Interesting, for a war god, Bruce said

You mean she's dainty, Daigoro said.

Yes.

"Uhm… Where are we going, Lady Freya?" Izuku asked.

"Once again, just Freya. I like you well enough to let you use just my name," Freya said, which only confused Izuku more. They had just met, how could Freya know if she liked him or not? "We're going to Folkvangr, the Familia's base. It's time you went through initiation."

"Which is?"

"High intensity combat against other Level One adventurers, don't worry about harming them too badly, we have an entire unit dedicated to being the best healers in Orario. Here we are."

Izuku stared up at the large, temple like building in front of him, able to spot several gardens where people were fighting each other. Was this really the right Familia for him?

Stepping inside, they approached one of the gardens in the back, where more clumsy fighters where fighting, "Boys, Girls."

"Lady Freya!" They lowered their weapons and looked at the silver haired goddess with a reverence Izuku just didn't feel in their eyes.

"Today I have a special assignment for you," Freya said, "This is Midoriya Izuku. I want you to try and beat him while I watch."

"But… He's just one boy…" One of the members holding a mace said in confusion.

"Then it shouldn't be that hard, no? Izuku, you win if you defeat them all."

Izuku stepped into the garden with twenty men and women waiting for him. One for All crackled along his skin, and he prepared himself for the fight.

The first to attack was a short woman carrying a pair of daggers, leaping at him from behind futilely as Danger Sense screamed at him. Grabbing the woman by the scruff of her shirt, without looking, Izuku whipped her around and tossed her into the man holding a mace. Running at 20%, Izuku dashed into a swordsman's guard and smashed him into the air, grabbing him by the leg and throwing him towards a chanting man with a staff.

Six opponents charged Izuku at once, and he jumped into the air, whirling as he did so he was facing them as he activated Float. Activating Blackwhip, he wrapped the tendrils around the attackers and ripped them up until they had flown past Izuku, thrashing. When they were as high as they would go, he stopped using Float, plummeting with a swinging fist. Slamming it into the ground, he brought the six down hard enough they bounced before remaining still.

Standing up, he stared down the last ten. Gripping an imaginary gear transmission, he shifted into second gear, blasting through the area and knocking them all out before a loud bang could echo across the area.
