At the UA Stadium
Mash was on the side bench just trying to enjoy a cream puff while everyone played. He was fine as he didn't care for the mean stares or slurs that people were throwing at him.
"Maybe I can leave early.'' Thoguht Mash
As Mash was having a nice time by himself the team captain Tom arrived, soon he exploded with his words.
"Are you even trying to catch the stars of your dreams?!'' Scream Tom.
"Uh what?'' Asked Mash.
"Dint you promise me to be the Number one in the field?'' Asked Tom.
"I didn't.'' Said Mash.
"Mash! You're not going luke warm on me! Remember the mighty bamboo!' Scream Tom.
"Bamboo?'' Asked Mash as Tom kept doing some weird poses.
"Bamboo can survive any climate! They're strong and supple! That's what you're lacking! You need to be…bamboo!'' Scream Tom.
"This guy is hopped up on drugs.'' Said Mash a bit scared.
"Bamboo!'' Scream Tom.
"Here he goes again!'' Thoguht the entire team.
"Listen Mash, soccer is a dirty game and if you are not careful, they might take away your ability to walk. Luckily, we can't use our quirks in the field, but people with multiple body parts can join and they use that loophole to their advantage. This is why I chose you to be a part of the game! Remember that!'' Said Tom as he returned to the field.
The young student heard that and tried to understand the meaning of the talk.
As Tom was going to back to the main area an Center Midfield from the opposite side appear and pushed him very hard to the ground.
"Ops.'' Said the jerk with a ugly smile.
"Captain!'' Scream the tea.
Now UA was getting nervous, Tom was the best player of the team and they were already in a pretty bad situation.
UA 0 X Vistants 4
Mash went to check on Tom and the captain only had eyes on the mushroom head student.
"Are you ok?'' Asked Mash.
"I think my leg is a bit messed, even with recovery girl I won't be able to return to the game.'' Said Tom all sad.
"Enjoy your nap!'' Said the jerk as he went off to be with his teammates.
"Man what a jerk.'' Said Mash.
"Uh.'' Said Tom in pain.
"Captain, what should we do?' Asked another player.
The third year looked at his team but his eyes were only on Mash this entire time.
"Ok, these are my orders! Mash take my place and play as much as you can. We have little time but I know you can do the impossible to save us from this score. Just remember that winning isn't what matters! What matters is whether you gave it you all!'' Said Tom.
"Ok.'' Said Mash all calm.
The other players dragged Tom to the nursery while Mash got the official uniform, he went to the field looking like he was lost as the team just regret that decision on the spot. Soon the game started, and the ball went towards Mash fee.
"The ball is on him!'' Said the players from the other team.
The goalkeeper of the visitant team had a spider like quirk, he had 8 arms which made him the dream goalie to have. He already had a record for letting no ball pass through him in 40 games in a row.
"He he he. I can already see this loose barely reaching the goal. This is going to be hilarious," Thought the goalie.
Mash soon got the ball and as everyone went to go attack him he positioned his foot and with a great amount of force he kicked the ball. It was so much speed and strength that you could have think it was a missile being launched.
KICK
The ball with his super speed passed the goalkeeper spider and made one point to UA.
"Eh?'' Asked the goal keeper in shock.
The entire stadium and players were in beyond shock, Mash scored in the first 10 seconds of his match. There was only one thing to describe this.
"Wow! It's amazing!'' Said a random girl.
Everyone got impressed by Mash skill but the game was still going.
"Well, you got lucky! Big deal! We still have 3 points ahead!' Scream a player from the other team.
Then the next move happened, and the ball ended up in Mash feet again.
Mash ran as fast as he could making everyone from the opposite team eat dirt and soon, he kicked the ball again with super speed and strength again. Which shocked a lot of them since he was quikrless. And he did it again and again and again.
Kikc
Kikc
Kick
Kick

The visitant team and the entire stadium were beyond shock with their jaws hitting the floor.
At the end Mash made the impossible and turned upside down the score.
UA 7 x Visitors 4
"UA is victorious! All thanks to their mysterious player who just showed up out of nowhere!'' Scream the announcer as everyone in the stadium started cheering.
"Yeah! UA loves you quirkless guy!''
"You look like a bug collector but I sent the best regard!''
"Sorry for throwing rocks at you!''
"You rock mushroom head!''
Mash heard all those cheers and claps towards him and he was fine. Soon the UA team lifted him as they were all smiling and full of joy.
"You are never leaving us again Mushroom head.''
"Sorry for doubting you.''
"We are seriously apologizing for our bad behavior.''
"Let's have pizza party in his homage!''
"Yeah! Let's celebrate Mash.''
"Yippe Hooray! Yippe Hooray! Yippe Hooray!''
Mash just accepted all this as people started to take pictures of him with the team.
The Next Day
Nezu was reading the front page of the UA Journal, and for the first time in a while it wasn't something related to heroes.
First year student shocked the entire school by being the Pele of this generation.
"Well, I told you all he was something.''' Said Nezu with a smirk as the UA teachers read the news.
"7 goals in less than 10 minutes!'' Scream Mic.
"Yes, all with just hard work and determination.' Said Nezu
"I have to say I am impressed. This kid just had already skills and strength to participate in a doggy sport like soccer, but I don't know if he will survive on our side of things.'' Said Power Loader.
Nezu took down the newspaper and soon started to write a note.
"What are you doing Mister Principal?'' Asked Snipe.
"Writing a letter of recommendation in regarding Mister Burnedead. With these skills he is alone worthy of being of the Hero Course and being among the top.' Said Nezu.
"Already! Arent we being too early on this and…'' Said Cementos a bit worried but Nezu calmed him down.
"Mister Cemenots, anyone who could do all of this is already above the standard high school student. He is already shown to be pro athlete level. Now he is not going to be transferred already, let's see what the year holds for Mister Burnedead. Maybe if he does something incredible noble and do a good performance at the UA Sports Festival than I know it will be the right time to enrolled him in the Hero course, but in the meantime lets just be happy that this kid is a star in soccer.'' Said Nezu.
The other teachers nodded at that and were relieved. For a moment they thought Nezu had 100% thrust and hope in this kid, but Nezu wanted to see more and from what he could tell Mash would deliver a bunch of things that most students wished for.
"He already started making moves. You're right, Wahlberg he is very interesting.'' Thoguht Nezu.
At 1-C
Finn was reading the UA newspaper with Mash who was just eating another cream puff.
"Mash, you were called the MVP of the game. This is beyond impressive.' Said Finn.
"Thanks, but I feel soccer isn't something I enjoy.'' Said Mash.
"Well, that's too bad. I could see you participating in that weird program where Japanese players are being trained to win the World Cup.'' Said Finn referring to program Blue Lock.
"That's sounds like a sports manga that would be fun to read.'' Said Mash.
"Hey! Mash!'' Scream someone pissed and turned out to be Tom.
The entire hall made way for Tom who looked genuinely pissed and angry
"What is wrong with senpai?'' Asked Finn worried.
As Tom gets near the duo he went towards Mash and hugged him really hard.
"Thank you!'' Scream him.
"Uh?'' Asked Mash confused.
"You really saved our game back then. Nobody believed in you but I still maintained hope for you! I knew I had a big heart, but this makes me cry even more!'' Said Tom crying nonstop.
"Is he ok?'' Asked Mash to Finn who looked confused.
"You are now a main player in our team. Don't worry about any bullies or attackers, we can take care of them. We aren't letting our future golden start get hurt.'' Said Tom.
"I don't think I want this.'' Said Mash.
"Make sure to come every day after class! We take training very seriously!' Scream Tom.
"Sure.'' Said Mash just accepting just for Tom to get off his back.
"Alright! Bamboo!'' Scream Tom doing a pose.
Both Mash and Finn just looked at each other confused and with the look of what that hell just happened in their faces.
In the end Mash Burnedead had officially joined the UA soccer team.
At some other part of school
A student with blue hair was reading the newspaper and the main articile about the first year who saved the UA soccer team from defeat.
(AN: It doesn't say Mash is quirkless in the newspaper, only that he is a first year from general course. That secret will be revealed later.)
The student named Lance Crow looked at the boy in the picture with disdain.
"Uh, I remember him. The mushroom head guy from my class. The one who caused the maze to be annulated.' Said Lance all cold.
The student with a single blink of an eye made the entire newspaper crumble until it was nothing but a pile of scrap flowing the air.
"No doubt he got the attention of the hero teachers and the principal with this stunt. He will be in the Hero Course in no time.'' Said Lance.
He looked at some locket that he had on his neck and just talked to himself.
"If I get him out of my way then I will be in the Hero Course in no time, then I can have the Visionary tittle all to myself.'' Said Lance all cold looking at a picture.
And we end right here.
We have Lance in the story now and I can't wait to write for him. I have always loved Lance, he is really fun, strong and a very interesting character. Yeah, I know his stick is just a copy from Gauche from Black Clover but I feel Lance is stronger because Gravity is a big power compare to mirror.
Also, Lance will be the introduction character for a big concept that I have for this world right here. I hope you all enjoyed, and it was a simple chapter.
Next one the Lance Arc.
