A couple of days has passed since the incident at the dorms. Things began to feel tense between Tooru and Uraraka but what can you do at this point. Izuku still hasn't made the effort to open himself up to anyone at all and now he just shuts himself inside of his room or leaves the campus to go do training else where.

Izuku woke up in the morning feeling swore as usual but eventually he will get through the strenuous training to make things a bit more versatile later on if that were to happen.

The young boy got up from his bed and changed into some sweatpants and a dark green tank top after he did some stretching. Izuku then went into the bathroom to wash his face to wake himself up more with some cold water.

He then made his way to the lobby. Upon reaching the exit he heard many voices but didn't seem to care since he would be gone for at the most two hours and it was eight o clock in the morning giving the boy a lot of time to work with.

When entering the lobby everyone got silent as they looked back at Izuku who hold a stoic expression and kept walking pass them. "Oh Izuku you up." Momo voice rang out causing Izuku to look behind him. "Morning Momo." Izuku said softly. "I am happy you got formalities out of the picture Izuku. Also I made breakfast you want some?" Momo asked the scared boy.

Izuku was not sure because literally all of the female classmates of One-A were there except Uraraka which he was glad she was not there. "Umm". Still finding a hard time answering her question but did not want to come off as rude.

But looking at the kitchen counter there was still enough for one more person. "Are you sure you don't mind me around I mean things are pretty umm awkward between me and everyone?" Izuku asks making trying to make Momo reconsider her offer towards him. "Not at all after all we never get to talk and your always busy so why not before you head out for a couple of hours get something inside of your stomach." Momo said with a nice smile on her face. "Thanks Momo." Izuku smiles at her.

In all of the girl's mind they were happy to see a hurt boy smile genuinely at them or Momo it doesn't matter they got him to lighten up a bit.

Izuku made his way towards the sofas but choosing an empty one so he would not disturb any other the girls with his presence. Momo got the food from the kitchen and handed a plate full of breakfast to Izuku. "Thanks for the food." Izuku started eating but relatively fast so he can get going.

"Hey Izuku?" Momo asked. The boy halted his eating and finished whatever food in his mouth then looked up at the Vice President. "Yes Momo." Izuku responded. "How is the training?" The tall girl asked.  Izuku did not think much of it and answered "it's been going well." Izuku resume his consuming on the breakfast.

All the girls looked at the boy intently with curiosity and concern for his reasons for training so vigorously. The boy did not pay no mind to the stares until his phone ring.

*Ring*

*Ring*

*Ring*

The call went into voicemail Izuku did not pay any mind to his surroundings only on the things in front of him. "Hey Midoriya?" Tooru spoke up getting the boys attention. "I am sorry for upsetting you a few days ago." The blonde girl apologized.

Izuku finished his breakfast and look Tooru in the eyes with a calm yet sad gaze. "It's all right Hagekure-San. But nowadays I rather be left alone like Tokoyami or Todoroki. Anyway..." Izuku turn his attention to the tall black haired lass before saying "thanks for the meal."

Izuku got up and left the group of girls and made his way towards the local forest by the school.

"Hey Tooru?" Mina spoke up grabbing everyone's attention. "Yea Ashido?" The blonde girl replied. "Why were you so fixated on having Midoriya open up to you a few days ago?" The pink girl asked.

Why did Tooru want to get herself involved with Izuku? What drove her to feel the need to get in the curly haired boys business? When did this need for helping the young hero in training came to be? Where is she going through with this need exactly? And how was she going to save her friend from himself?

All of these questions came to mind but for now to answer her pink friend it was all one thing that can be said. "I want to save him."

A few hours had passed and Izuku was practicing his Striker mode on some trees. There were benefits and some flaws with this newly found technique.

The positives were that Izuku's physical strength will be increased dramatically with the expansion in his body mass. This new special move can give all of his natural senses. And the best part is that it only makes the body fatigue after using it with in the limiter. And surprisingly this one cannot be explained but after a good nights rest the damaged that was sustained from using the form above the limiter or not the boy would be good a new with more strength then the previous day just a bit sore but that's it. Even bones don't break when over using this move.

The negatives well they weighted more than the positives that's for sure. With the rapid increase of muscle mass can lead to severe tearing in ligaments, tendons, and muscle with one wrong move. Using the technique above the limit would lead to blood vessels exploding on his face near the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Going above even more would have any of the limbs of the boy explode with blood since his muscles, tendons, and ligaments are already teared and destroyed. And the one that can cost him time and reaction in the future Striker is can only be activated if seven percent at least of one for All is activated. Moreover another problem remains Izuku cannot control the multiplier of Striker it happens to change depending on the situation.

During normal training the multiplier can only go up by three but when the body faces danger it can go much higher but the limiter becomes close every time the multiplier increases.

Knowing full cowl is the most safe way to train to gain better control of One for All but the fact that Striker can increase the progress and so far Izuku was enjoying it a few weeks ago he only had been able to maintain eight percent of full cowl now he can use fourteen percent with the help of Striker.

Izuku finished his training after a few hours and decided to head to the dorms to get some rest before going back at it again. Upon arriving at the dormitory Izuku noticed a brown haired girl sitting on a couch looking sad, it was Uraraka. Izuku did not want to say anything because it still hurts at the thought she cheated on him. The boy made his way to the girl. 'What are you doing!!? Stop!! Don't speak at all!!' These were the cries of Izuku's mind but he cannot ignore someone is need of helping. "Hey Uraraka?" The brown haired girl looked at him. "Oh hey Deku you need something?" Asked the sad girl. "Oh no I was just seeing if your okay sense you look a bit down." This made the girls eyes widen with shock. "After what I did to you? You would still try to help me?" Uraraka confused at Izuku's behavior. "It never hurts to ask." The boy replied with a sad smile.

"Well sit down I feel like you are exhausted from another day of training." The gravity girl gestured the boy to sit down next to her and the boy did So willingly. Once Izuku sat down, he asked "So what's bothering you?" Uraraka sigh as she grasped her hands together followed by her own personal conflicts. "Well aside from getting punched in the face by Tooru, things between me and Tenya have been drifting apart." She said sadly while continuing "a couple of days ago I was trying to lighten the mood a bit with some intimacy acts after he felt bad for betraying his role as Class President since he knew that he could've handled the situation differently but he let his anger go and well you know what happen since you were the one he had taken his anger upon on." Uraraka went silent for a couple of moments indicating that Izuku can talk now. "Umm I kinda was the one that made Ilda angry in the first place because he was restraining me but I used my quirk on him and sorta... punched him in the chest." He said that the memory of himself panicking and activating striker against him.

"I feel like he just needs some comforting like hugging or talking about the problem in a more in depth perspective and outlook. Also be patient with his emotions so that he won't do something he will regret later on" Izuku suggested the brown haired girl. "Really? I you say so... but I am not entirely sure about the patience idea but all the same thank you Deku." Uraraka thanked the boy. "Your welcome, do you need help with anything else." Izuku said as he was getting anxious being around his ex-girlfriend. "Oh just one more thing" Uraraka grab the boy and pulled him in to an embrace that the young Midoriya was left confused. "You missed this don't you Izuku~?" The girl asked in a low but sinful tone causing Izuku to start panicking before he felt weightless. "It hurts doesn't it? The embrace you feel now, back when you save Tooru, and the attempts you made to with me. This embrace makes you wish we were still a couple don't you?" Izuku's eyes open widely at the way Uraraka was talking about. "What are you saying?" Izuku asked weakly.

"What I am saying is this all could've been avoided if you just sacked up and made a couple of moves loser but you got cheated as an result." Uraraka spoke so maliciously to a shocked and hurt Izuku. "Why?... Why do you do this? You have Tenya to date yet you still try to rub my flaws in?" Izuku tearing up while choking at the end of his question. "Why do you asked? It's simple..." Uraraka pulled her head back to looked at Izuku while having her palm on his cheek. "Because there is nothing better than to  see you suffer for being such a pathetic boyfriend Deku. And no matter your hero goal you will never be loved by anyone you like just like yours truly. Also before I end this lovely conversation." The girl slapped Izuku in the face so hard and fast that the sound projected from the slap rang throughout the main lobby. That is for having Tooru stand up for you, BITCH. By that way thanks for the useless advice that I will never use since I already sorted it out with my man, you little boy. By the way if you ever touch Tenya or even talk to anyone about anything, this will not be the last time we will meet. Do I make myself clear?" Izuku weakly nodded his head and brought his head down. "Good thanks for the "useless" help Deku."

After Uraraka undid the zero gravity on the boy and left to her room, Izuku did not move a inch or muscle with a dead expression in his eyes as tears fell down his face once more.

As it turns out Jiro had been listening on the whole conversation in another room with a speaker aloud plugged in to one of her ear jacks while the other one was in the wall. Mina was infuriated, Momo disappointed, Tooru shocked, and Jiro sad for her weaken classmate. On the speaker was still live to hear a whimpered cry from the heart teared boy.

"I-I...*sniff* I t-tried *sniff* but... no matter *snort* what I do *coughing* I can't ever be anything else but dEKu huh Uraraka?" The boy blubbered to himself as he got up and went to his room leaning on to one side of the wall dragging his body across it to his bed.

Once Izuku got into his room he locked the door and blocked it with his desk and weight equipment not wanting people to come in. Izuku finally feel down to his knees and started wailing his failures. Many tears were dropped down to the floor, with every drip being a memory that he used to cherish while he was still dating Uraraka. Every cry for all those times were they shared meals, talks, walks, and moments together. Now forearms on the floor as well as his lowered head Izuku felt everything was not worth it anymore; not his training, not being a hero, his classmates, his so called friends, his mother that he loved so much but was to hurt to think straight, and himself.

Two days later~

After his confrontation with his ex girlfriend Izuku shut himself in his room just feeling dejected and hopeless. It was Monday the start of a new week that Izuku did not cared for. Slowly he felt so emotionless not crying or even tearing up any more. Izuku was now laying on his bed looking up at the ceiling. Everything was in complete silences that until...

*Knock*

*Knock*

"Midoriya my boy you alright?" It was the former number one hero All Might.

Izuku turn towards the door before All Might continues speaking "You weren't at school today and the class didn't know how to explain your situation so I decided to come here myself." The man stated as Izuku got up and removed all the weight equipment and his seat from the door to open it to see a skinny/bony face of All Might who had a small smile on his face.

Izuku started tearing up and felt a one arm hug from his hero. All Might still had not fully recovered from his battle with All for one and had one still fractured yet healing processed arm in a shoulder strap to relief the pain. All Might looked down at his successor seeing how deep the bags under his disciples eyes and how red the blood vessels in his eyes indicated he had been crying with the lack of sleep. And the only thing All Might needed to do was comfort the young boy.

"It is all right my boy." All Might reassures Izuku with a pat on the back of the head.

"Why?" All Might asked his successor while still hugging him.

"Because I am here." All Might States with a smile on his face.
