Today's school day has been exciting thus far. All the students are scared of me, and that's wonderful. Ahem, sarcasm. At least I have my side chick Uraraka on my side. Most of the classes are boring. I'm alright with Modern Literature with Cementoss because I had to read every time I got in trouble with mom because all my electronics are taken away. Math is easy with Ectoplasm. You kind of has to be good with math if you're obsessed with programming. Things got a little fun in Modern Hero Art History class with Midnight because she looked at me, and we had a connection, though we can't acknowledge it during the course. However, she does wink at me to let me know she feels it too. I'll have to get her during my free time. The actual fun class is English, something that I usually sucked at. That is where my man Present Mic Hizashi is at. Well, I thought I sucked at it. It turns out, I am fluent and beyond everyone in our class. That means instead of learning hello, I got to gossip with Hizashi in English, so no one knows what we are talking about. That is when I started complaining about what happened this morning. Now back to reality!

"You're telling me that one of the kids was about to attack you during training because they considered what you were doing cheating?" Hizashi asks, giving me a reluctant look. I moved up front, and I'm standing beside him at his desk. Keep in mind this is all in English, so the students have no idea what we are talking about.

"Uh-huh."

"And you screamed at them about how life is not fair and to basically shut up and deal with it?"

"Perfect summary, my man." Hizashi chuckles, shaking his head.

"You're seriously Shouta's son."

"Uh, Shouta and I fight always. We have opposite personalities. "

"Hold up, you two have fought?"

"Yes. Without drugs in my system, I can last ten minutes against him apparently." I can feel the other kids watching me, but I keep facing Hizashi.

"You realize I can't last five minutes against him?"

"Seriously? Well, that is expected. You have one super-powered move you would have to use at the beginning to knock out as many people as possible while Shouta is a glass tank. As long as he doesn't get hit, he is going to remain a badass."

"True. Though, you realize your classes are probably going to be switched around?"

"Why?"

"Principal Nezu requires us to give pop quizzes for a reason. If a student excels, they are moved to more appropriate classes."

"I didn't do that well on any of them, so no worries!"

"Izuku, you literally made a perfect score on mine."

"Shit, so no more gossip?"

"Yeah, sorry little listener. Are you going to be hanging out after school so we can come up with plans to take over UA?" Hizashi is me at heart.

"I wish, but I have to go straight home, or else I worry Mom."

"Is she protective of you? Because it sounds like it."

"For how I am, a little bit. That's just how she is. She may be overwhelming at times, but I know it's because she cares."

"At least you're aware of that."

"I may be shit at interactions, but I can notice that. I care for her like she cares for me."

"Hmm... OH yeah! The door is open to my house if you want to hang there. You just need to clean it like you did Shouta's place. Thank you for that, by the way. It's time to go, so go back to your seat."

"Wait! You're seriously telling me that for a free cleaning maid!" I walk back to pull out a bento box, handing it to him, " Give it to Shouta. I don't trust him. Say it's from you if you want to impress him. Though, I should take that for trying to get a free maid, you cockatoo."

"You're right. And thanks, little listener! I still will!" I nod, moving back. One particular boy with peppermint hair has his eyes out for me. I know, peppermint, I'm cute. There is no need to embarrass me. Either that or it's a look of anger. I can't tell. I'm a dumbass in social skills.

---

After class is lunch, and it's reminding me of my years of being antisocial because I presumably have no one to sit with. I'm about to walk outside when I hear my name.

"Hey, Izuku, come sit with us!" I turn to see Uraraka waving me over with Iida across from her. I walk over, and I can see Iida acting a certain way, and I know it too well.

"Are you sure? Iida looks uncomfortable, and I was going to eat outside anyway." I may be an asshole, but I know how to be nice kinda sorta.

"It's fine, right, Iida!?" Uraraka looks over at Iida. She seriously is too precious for this world.

"It's no problem, Izuku!" Iida says too quickly for my liking, but oh well. I sit down beside Uraraka and open the box to start eating.

Uraraka looks over at me with a smile, "Hey, what do you think the final class of the day is?" For most traditional schools, it's probably math because you need to end the day with suffering! However, that's done.

"I'm going to guess the actual hero class is last so that if the student is injured, they don't have to worry about them missing any class."

"That's a good observation!"

"That is called guesstimation, darling." I wink, leaving a flustered Uraraka.

"I thought you said you couldn't flirt in the real world!"

"Practice makes perfect precious cinnamon roll."

"Cinnamon roll?" Iida asks. I forgot he was there, and I don't regret it.

"Don't tell me you never heard that phrase before."

"I have not. Is it bad?!" I can tell he jumps to conclusions quickly and that it's not just because it's me.

"No. It means someone who is too innocent for this world."

"Oh..." Interesting conversation. There's not much else to tell. We chat as typical teens do. Iida seems reluctant around me, but he is more open by the end. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Why does being social have to be so complicated?!

---

"I AM COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might shouts unnecessarily, coming through the door like a weirdo. Everyone else seems fantasized by the man, but my hopes and dreams were broken by this man! I have a dark look on my face to freak him out. " TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING HEROES WITH YOUR HERO COSTUMES!" The disappointment presses a button, revealing the cases with numbers. "EVERYONE GET DRESSED AND HEAD TO FIELD C!" All Crap announces as he leaves, but not before noticing me and my look. He runs out after that.

Mission Success.

I head to my case before heading to the locker room. This time, I change as slowly as possible. Even after I change, I hang back to check out my costume to waste time. I will say my outfit is unusual. I'm willing to admit I did pay tribute to Eraserhead, thus the all-black suit with a bulletproof vest, and when I say a suit, I mean a suit. A two-piece suit you go to prom with if you want to go with death itself.

I specifically went with a suit because a two-piece is better than a bodysuit, in my opinion, to look god damn fine, and to look like a villain so I could trick some people.

On my feet are some black boots that go above my kneecaps with some metal for power and support without breaking them. The black gloves on my arms are a similar situation, just rubber instead of iron due to something you will see later. I have a tool belt around my waist with whatever the hell I decide to put in there, but most likely, it will be medical equipment. The suit even has a neck guard so my neck isn't revealed. That way, I won't die with my head chopped off. No worries, it looks natural enough, especially with a dark green bowtie. On my back is a pair of electric batons with adjustable settings made by me (almost got a fine for that) that I may or may not have stolen from Legend of Korra and swords. Before you ask, yes, I know how to fucking use swords, and I am fantastic at it if I say so myself! I watched Youtube videos on it! To hide the swords, I have a small thin backpack over it with my laptop and other hacky items. The grandest part of my costume is my helmet.

The helmet is where I went overboard in. The helmet itself is thin and light, so I'm not slowed down too much. I made to it increases my hearing by triple the normal human hearing. I will probably go back and make it even better. Over my eyes is a clear visor that offers heat detection to help find people and protection in general. I need to work on more features on it. Then, my grandbaby of the mask over my mouth. While it is meant for filtration for fires and other bullshit like that, that's not the primary use — time to test it now.

"Fuck," I say.

"Potato." OH MY GOD, IT WORKS. YEP, THE MASK WAS MADE FOR CENSORING MY CURSING WITH WEIRD ASS WORDS. I'M GOING TO HAVE TOO MUCH FUN WITH THIS!

I walk out, meeting up with a bunch of students, and they are interesting, to say the least. The most over-dramatic is Iida's because his costume consists of a suit of armor. However, there is, unfortunately, an under-dramatic, which I think her name is Momo? Anyway, she has everything out! She isn't naked, but she might as well be. Then, there is the invisible girl that I made jokes about during the exam that I didn't realize existed till now, and SHE IS NAKED! LIKE, IF SOMETHING TOUCHES HER BOOBS, SHE HAS NO PROTECTION, MAN! It's taking all my energy to keep myself quiet.

"You all look fantastic! Now, it is time for your task!" All Might pulls out a flashcard, reading it off, " Inside this building, there is a nuclear bomb that needs to be taken down. Everyone will be broken down into pairs with one team of three into heroes and villains! Villains need to protect the bomb or capture the heroes while the heroes need to capture the bomb or the villains! This will be decided randomly, so when I call your name, you will find your teammate! Any questions?" All Disappointment is bombarded with a ton of questions, but I can't help but think why is there a group of three? We are an even number class of twenty. All Shit says, "Calm down! I don't have super hearing to understand all of you at once! Yes, Iida?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we choose our partners, sir?!" Iida asks. I step in because I know the reason why he is doing it this way.

"Heroes don't always get paired up with their BFF. Sometimes, they have to pair up with any hero that's at the scene, making this an effective exercise." Not that All Bitch would understand because he can take down a platoon with his strength.

I can see All Damn-It get nervous when I respond. He says, " Midoriya is right. You will not always get the partner you wanted. Now, onto the teams." All Might starts separating everyone into teams until there is only me left. I see it now. THE PAST IS HAUNTING ME. I raise my hand, trying to be polite.

"Yes, Midoriya?" All Might asks

"I seem to have been forgotten."

"Yes, you will not be participating in this exercise." Excuse me, what?

"May I ask why not?"

"W-well..." Time to steamroll his fake ass over.

"It's because I am quirkless. Isn't it?" I declare with a snarl.

"Yes, it's too dangerous for you to participate in this exercise."

"And you are saying it is not for the other students here?"

"O-of course it is! But-" I cut him off.

"I do not care about your reasoning. You are not giving me a chance to prove myself, you ignorant man. You leaving me out is not helping with anything, so just let me in and banging prove myself." The students look at me strangely when the voice comes in to change my language.

"Midoriya, if you do not settle down, I will have to send you to Principal Nezu." This is getting tricky. I smirk.

"How about a challenge then, All Might, the smartest man in the world?" That sarcasm.

"A challenge?"

"Yes. If you let me in there and I win, you have to let me join any exercise the other students participate in. If not, I will drop this school and leave." I can hear the students' eyes widen. I am putting my life on the line, but I'm pretty confident in myself.

"Alright. Uraraka, join his team." All Might doesn't sound as confident, but he is still trying to smile. Uraraka joins me with a nervous smile. "Now, the first teams are A as the heroes and team D as the villains!" I look around for team D, and I find it is Bakugo and Iida. This should be easy. I grin as the class walks away, leaving me with Uraraka in her cute pink space costume. Team D heads inside the fake bomb in their hands.

"That is so cool for you to challenge All Might like that!" Uraraka exclaims.

"I shouldn't have to, but oh well! I do have an idea, though. I have heat vision in this visor, meaning I can see where they are. My best bet is Bakugo is going to leave Iida to protect the bomb and go after me. When I say go, I need you to go where I tell you at the beginning, and I will deal with Bakguo's booty. Oh, here!" I hand her a stool of see-through fish wire with some sticky putty-really sticky putty, " I need you to set up traps all over the place for Iida to trip. This will be at doorways at least a foot off the ground, got it?"

"Are you sure you're going to be okay with Bakugo?" I can tell she is worried, and it is so CUTE!

"Give me a minute at most. I will be with you after I pissy him off." Oh, so pissy needs to be added.

Wait, is that considered a bad word? No idea!

---

"START NOW!" All Might screams into the microphone. I turn on my heat vision.

"They're on the third floor, let's go." Uraraka nods, and we run up till the second floor. I pull out the capture tape we were given. I signal Uraraka to wait a moment. Then...

"DEKU!" Bakugo screams as he goes for his signature right hook with explosions. I hear Uraraka running off, and I grab his arm, wrapping the capture tape around his wrist while I flip him over and slam him into the ground. Without a second thought, I cover his other wrist as well and push him against the wall. This leaves a raging Bakugo, but I could give two shits about him right now.

"Bakugo is officially captured!" All Might announces. I run to find Uraraka right outside the doorway of where Iida is at. I make sure to take extra care to lift my feet to avoid traps.

Uraraka whispers, " You got an idea?"

"We could probably screw around with him, but yes, I do, come on. Do you mind if we pretend we are dating for a moment for a shock factor? I might get touchy, so I am warning you now. Without him seeing, I need you to touch me and fly me over him to grab that bomb. The signal is when I blink twice."

"S-sure!" I can see Uraraka blushing. I take her hand carefully as I lead her into the room.

"What are you doing here, heroes?!" Iida overdramatizes, chopping his arms.

"Don't be like that, Iida! I am just here to announce that Uraraka and I have started dating, huh darling?" I say with care as I lead us closer to have an appropriate conversation.

"Uh-huh, ain't he adorable!?" Uraraka says as she pinches my cheek with all five fingers.

"Stop, you are embarrassing me!" I whine.

"But you love me!"

"Are you two sure this is the best place for this nonsense?"

"It's not nonsense! It is love! We need love to create mini Ochacos and mes!" I say, making sure to use Uraraka's first name. While I was taking, I blinked twice, and when I finished, I flew over his head and touched the bomb.

"The hero team has touched the bomb and won!" All Might announces. I swear I hear the reluctance in his voice.

"Good job, girl! You nailed it!" I say, walking over to her while using germ-x on my face.

"Really?" Uraraka asks.

"Yep, perfect. You would make a great girlfriend too!" Uraraka blushes at that. Except the moment HAS to be ruined.

"DEKU!"

"Iida, you should be safe. Uraraka, you mind if you jump on my back for a piggyback ride a moment?" I ask.

"Why?"

"I don't want Bakugo to kill you." I bend down, and Uraraka does what I ask. I walk over, open the window, and jump out.

"YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME YOU WERE DOING THIS! DO YOU EVEN HAVE A SAFE WAY OF LANDING!?" Uraraka screams in my ear.

"OF COURSE I DO!" I flip myself on my feet and land. My boots have shock absorption. I look at her, "Sorry about that! Better than dealing with him, though!" I can hear Bakugo screaming in the background as we walk back to the group.

---

I glare at All Might as I walk in with Uraraka. Within a couple of minutes, Iida and a seething Bakugo come in, but he's managing his anger oddly enough.

"Now that everyone is here, would anyone like to tell what happened and the advantages and disadvantages?" All Might asks. Momo volunteers.

"Midoriya, you prefer Izuku, yes?" Momo asks. I nod as she continues, " Izuku had a good idea from the get-go. He was able to get rid of Bakugo quickly and sent Uraraka to set up traps around the third floor. When Izuku and Uraraka walk in, they pretend to be a couple, which is a stupid idea, but it worked. Even if it did not, if Iida were to run, he would still have been tripped up with the traps, either way providing an advantage to Team Heroes. I also disapprove of jumping out the window after the manner, but I assume it was to avoid Bakugo."

"That is correct. Now, who should be the MVP?" All Might asks. Everyone agreed with me. I provide my scary grin at All Might, causing him to shiver. I now get to watch the rest of the matches.

---

I'm walking down the hallway quickly at the end of the day when I hear a voice call for me.

"Midoriya, come here. I need to talk to you." I turn around to see All Skeleton in front of me. I bite my tongue but nod, following him into the teacher's lounge. "Sit." He demands, and I sit down in front of him. Nobody else is in the room. He is going to be the reason I'm late getting home and worrying mom.

"Midoriya, the way you were acting during my class was childish, and I recommend you fix your attitude. Otherwise, you will be removed from the hero course." THIS AGAIN?!

"You brought that among yourself, All Might. I have to prove myself to get anywhere, and you were not willing to give me a chance. If you do not give me a chance, you are letting me die. You're letting potential die due to your ludicrous ways." I really am trying to be mature here.

"I do not deny that, but you could have been effective in many other fields besides being a hero."

"I could have, but being a quirkless hero will inspire hope in people like me realize that the only solution in life is not suicide or drinking or anything like that. Have you seen the suicide rate for quirkless? Most of us die! Yet, we are like you. We just don't have powers! We are more than capable of handling ourselves. I AM HERE TO BE AN INSPIRATION, ALL MIGHT!" I stand up, shakey of anger.

"I recommend you settle down."

"You were asking for it when you brought me here. You should understand. You are the symbol of peace, after all. Millions of kids adore you, aspired by you, wanting to become a hero because of you." I see Little Might flinch. Then, I hear a door open.

"What is going on? I heard a scream from the end of the hallway." I look up to see Shouta with his scarf ready to attack. His voice has a bite to it. I glare at All Might for him to explain.

"I pulled Midoriya in here to explain about his behavior during class was childish and that he needs to mature." I'm about to leave, so I don't get in more trouble, but Shouta stops me with a hand on my shoulder.

"Shouta, let me go. I need to get home before mom worries. She has enough on her plate as is with work being a bitch to her." I tell him softly, so All Might doesn't hear. Shouta looks at me with a distinct look.

"We will discuss that after we deal with this. Now come on." What is there to discuss? Shouta leads me to the couch and forces me to sit down beside him. All Might has a strange look the whole time. "Tell me what happened."

"Well, we were doing to Heroes Vs. Villains with the nuke, and I paired all the students off with one group of three. I didn't want Midoriya to participate in the exercise, so I left him off the list. He noticed and acted immaturely to the situation. He then set a challenge that if I let him in the exercise and he won that I have to let him participate in all the exercises. If he doesn't win, young Midoriya will leave UA. He won, so he is still here." All Might explains. I look over to see Shouta. Oh, boy, he is angry. He isn't trembling like me about to eat someone, but he is mad.

"All Might, you are being actively discriminatory towards Midoriya, and that is against UA policy," Shouta states, being as mature as possible.

"It was for his safety."

"Izuku made it in here. He can take care of himself. We are here to help prevent him from getting hurt, but it will still happen no matter what. We have to help the students to mature into better people than they are right now. At the moment, you are regressing him. He is already a handful as is, but you're making it worse. I recommend you step back and let me handle Izuku. Understood?" Little Might nods, getting up and leaving. Shouta sighs, massaging his scalp gently before looking at me.

"I'm sorry you had to deal with that. You shouldn't have to."

"I know. I need to head home, though." I say as I try to stand up, but Shouta grabs my hand, forcing me down and adjusting himself to face me while I put on the germ-x again.

"We have to talk, Izuku."
