"I'd like to congratulate you personally for being the first ever Quirkless student to get into U.A." Kaylub was in the office of pro-hero Nezu who was also the principle of U.A. A chimera who had been experimented on by humans and gained a Quirk: Highspecs.

"Thank you. I've always wanted to be a hero and when I heard U.A. had finally gotten rid of the rule against Quirkless people I knew I had to try."

"Well, you certainly are going to change the way the hero society works. And I look forward to watching you do so." A glisten of mischief rescinded in those beady eyes as Kaylub bowed and took his leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April arrived as I was about to leave a toast in my mouth. I wore the U.A. uniform as I knew dad was asleep. I adjust my gloves one more time. I'm off.

I arrived at the school and saw Cheshire. "Hey! Cheshire!" I rush up to him as he smiles back at me.

"Kaylub, what class are you in?"

"1-A, you?"

"1-A, looks like we'll be in the same hero course after all. Now time for class." I nod and we head off.

We stop in front of a large 1-A door and look on in awe, before seeing Broccoli there.

"The door's huge,"

"I believe it's for accessibility..." I say as Broccoli turns and looks at me surprised. I smile as we three look back at the door.

"The elite chosen from the huge number at the exam..." I hear him say as I giggle.

"You do realize we're now a part of those elite, right?" I ask as Cheshire opens the door. Inside was a full class with almost everyone sitting.

"Don't put your feet on the desk!" The male with blue hair and glasses say as we see the spiky blond with his feet on the desk.

"Huh?"

"Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen and the people who made the desk?

"Nope. What junior high did you go to, you side character?" I raise a brow at the conversation as I enter the class taking the seat right in front of the spiky blond. Broccoli remained outside the door as Cheshire entered as well sitting next to me.

"I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida." Like Ingenium Iida? I knew he looked familiar.

"Somei? So you're a damn elite, huh? Looks like I'll have fun crushing you."

"'Crushing'? That's cruel. Do you truly aim to be a hero?" The blond tsked then noticed me. This caused Iida to look at me as well. "You're..." Then everyone was looking at me. I looked at Broccoli and then everyone's attention went to him.

"Oh, um..."

"Hello, I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is--"

"I heard!" He stopped. "I'm Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida."

"Midoriya, you realized there was something more to that practical exam, didn't you?" I raised a brow at Broccoli as he looked confused as well. "I had no idea. I misjudged you! I hate to admit it, but you are better than me."

"Oh, that curly hair! You're the plain-looking one!" I look to see a girl with brown hair and matching eyes with little blush spots on her cheeks looking at Broccoli. He turns and instantly blushes.

"You passed, just like Present Mic said! Of course you did! Your punch was amazing." He punched the robot? The two then ramble on as I decide to push Pompoms feet off of his desk.

"You wanna die, you damn extra?!"

"Quiet down you pomeranian."

"What did you just call me?"

I then notice something yellow coming up in the corner of my eye and turn to see a sleeping bag with a person in it. They were behind the group at the door.

"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends. This is the hero course." He then unzips the bag a bit and drinks a juice pouch. I blink in confusion. He then stands up...somehow. "Okay, it took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough." My eyes widen as the man steps out of the sleeping bag to reveal...

"Eraser Head," I whisper as sparkles were in my eyes as his tired eyes looked to me as I blush and close my mouth looking down.

"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you. It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field." He pulls out the U.A. gym uniform as we all go and change meeting him out on the field. I keep my gloves on and adjust them as we were on the field.

I stand with Cheshire and Broccoli as Pompom glares at me. Aizawa-sensei informed us all about the fact that we would be taking a quirk assessment test. I blink and share a look with Cheshire.

"A Quirk assessment test?!" The others say in shock.

"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" The girl from earlier asked.

"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events. U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes." I stood straight while internally fanboying that someone with a Quirk that stood against my dad was going to be my homeroom teacher. "You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right? Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their Quirks. It's not rational. Well, the ministry of Education is procrastinating. Bakugo, you finished at the top of the practical exam, right?" We all look at him. "In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?"

"67 meters."

"Then try doing it with your Quirk. You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle. Hurry up. Give it all you've got."

Pompom stands in the circle and then throws the ball adding a blast at the end sending the ball flying while also shouting DIE.

"Know your own maximum first. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero." Aizawa-sensei shows us Pompom's score which was 705.2 m. Everyone was talking with excitement as I just started to stretch. I knew this was going to be a pain for Cheshire, Broccoli, and me since two of us were Quirkless and... Wait a minute! Nezu said I was the first Quirkless kid, and Broccoli punched the robot... he isn't Quirkless!

"'It looks fun,' huh?" I blink out of my thoughts and look at Aizawa-sensei. "You have three years to become a hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time? All right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion." Everyone was in shock as I sigh.

Great, so there's a high chance that Cheshire or I might be going home. Though it's more towards Cheshire since I've had more training. Though... I was looking at Broccoli by the time Aizawa-sensei started to talk again.

"We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students." He then holds his hair up and smiles at us as a shiver goes down my spine. "Welcome to U.A.'s hero course!" I shake my head, and smirk. It's not the best hero school for no reason.

"Last place will be expelled? But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!" The girl with the short brown hair said. Unfair?

"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to go talk with your friends at Mickey D's after school, too bad. For the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you've got." I look at Aizawa-sensei who was smiling and felt motivated to try my best because if he became a hero here, so can I. "All right, demonstrations over. The real thing starts now."

Test 1: 50-meter dash

I stood off to the side as Tenya Iida, Glasses, was running first. I watched as he used his Quirk: Engine and running against him was Tsuyu Asui, Froggy, who's Quirk: Frog aided in her speed. Ochaco Uraraka, Bubble, with her Quirk: Zero Gravity was able to pass in a quick pace. Yuga Aoyama, Sparkles, showed off his Quirk: Navel Laser to show creative solutions. Soon I was up as I ran against Toru Hagakure, Invis, with her Quirk: Invisibility. I speed ahead getting a time of 6.32 seconds.

Test 2: Grip strength

I did mine and got 49.2 kg as I watched the others gathering information.

Test 3: Standing Long jump

I land further down and smile as I record more information.

Test 4: Repeated side steps

I got a fairly high score, but less than most of the others, higher than Cheshire though. I added the ways the others used their Quirks in this situation.

Test 5: Ball throw

Bubble easily aced this one as she got infinity for her score. I sigh realizing that so far everyone, except Cheshire, Broccoli, and I, were leaving amazing results and I knew I was leading against the two. I throw the ball getting a measly 48 meters. Broccoli is up next and I can tell by the look in his eyes he's planning something.

"It doesn't look good for Midoriya if he continues like this." Glasses says as I stand next to him and Cheshire.

"Huh? Of course not. He's a Quirkless small fry, you know." I glared at Pompom for calling him a small fry.

"Quirkless?! Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?"

"Huh?" We both look at him confused.

I then noticed a bit of red power lacing through Broccoli's arm and my eyes widened. He has a quirk?! I notice as he throws the ball his Quirk vanishes and I look to Aizawa-sensei to see his Quirk activated and I squeal on the inside at seeing it in action. Then I realize it's being used on Broccoli and look to see him coming to the same conclusion I had.

"I erased your Quirk," Aizawa-sensei said as his hair and capture weapon were levitating around him due to his Quirk being active. "That entrance exam was definitely not rational enough. Even a kid like you was accepted."

"You erased my quirk?"

"He's the Eraser hero: Eraser Head." Cheshire says from next to me.

"Eraser? I don't know him."

"That's because he's an underground hero, not one for the spotlight since it hinders his work," I say as the others nod. I did research on him after that time dad came home looking worse for wear.

"From what I can tell, you can't control your Quirk, can you? Do you intend to become incapacitated again and have someone save you?"

"Th-That's not my intention--" He then gets pulled close to Aizawa-sensei by his capture weapon. The two seemed to have a discussion for a while.

"I've returned your Quirk. You have two turns for the ball throw. Hurry up and get it over with."

I still can't believe he has a Quirk. We are so talking about this later.

"It looks like he received some advice," Glasses said as I looked at them.

"Probably just telling him he's expelled," Pompom said.

"Or maybe, he's going to surprise us all," I say glancing at pompom.

"Who asked you, you damn extra!"

"I don't see anyone asking for your opinion either, pomeranian." I look away from the steaming blond who had explosions popping off in his hands.

I notice Aizawa-sensei using eye drops and look to see Broccoli muttering to himself.

He prepared to throw the ball.

"Smash!" he released the ball as it flew far into the air. I looked at him and noticed his finger was purple. All-Might!

He's quirk is like All-Might's, a boost in strength, but he doesn't have complete control, plus why would he hide this from me? I thought for sure he would have told me... considering the two of us were Quirkless buddies. There's something else and it involves his sudden Quirk. I thought.

"What is the meaning of this? Deku you bastard!" Pompom suddenly got pissed and was about to attack Broccoli, his hand lighting up till I grabbed his wrist. His explosions disappeared. He turned to me as I stood strong under his look and he was about to swing when his hand was caught by a gray cloth. I look over his shoulder to see Aizawa-sensei with his capture scarf raised and Quirk activated.

"Don't keep making me use my Quirk over and over. I have dry eye." He released Pomeranian who let his hand fall as I released my hold. "We're wasting time. Whoever's next, get ready." I slip back to Cheshires side, feeling eyes on me and I look to black eyes locked with grey. I look away with a blush fiddling with my gloves.

Broccoli returned as he was then surrounded by Bubble who was extremely concerned for him as I started to think about how that would be possible. Quirks are still new, so him getting a Quirk so late isn't too surprising, but his specific Quirk is a bit too similar to a certain idol of his to be a coincidence, plus he was training at that beach with All-Might as well...

For the last three tests I kept an eye on Broccoli sticking close to my friend as I noticed how his finger was bugging him. I helped him up after he had collapsed. I smile at him as he nods back.

"Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results. The total is simply the marks you got from each test. It's a waste of time to explain verbally, so I'll show you the results all at once."

The scores were then shown as I scanned through.

I saw my name close to the bottom and sighed. I knew that meant more training. I pat Cheshire on the shoulder when we noticed his name was at the bottom. He just smirks at me.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion."The others looked at him in shock as Cheshire and I knew the truth. "It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks." He smiles as I sigh. Not for those with Quirks that aren't suited for this exercise, or without a quirk.

"What?!" Everyone else shouts.

"Of course that was a lie," Yaoyorozu, Princess, said as she was next to us, "it should have been obvious if you just thought it through."

"With that, we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom so when you get back, look over them." He then walks over to us. "Midoriya, have the old lady fix you in the nurse's office. Tomorrow will be packed with even more rigorous tests. Prepare yourself." His eyes locked with mine before he left as I watched him leave concerned.

At the end of the day I walked with Cheshire who seemed bored. We have decided to hang out together after school.

"So, what did you think about the ruse?" I sigh as he raises a brow.

"It sucked." We were sitting at the beach, we decided to call our hangout spot.

"Really?" I nod as he chuckles.

"It's not funny. This just means we have to physically train harder than those who have it at ease with physical Quirks."

"Speaking of Quirks, I thought Izuku was Quirkless like you?"

"So did I." I grumbled not liking the sudden Quirked Broccoli

"Maybe his Quirk suddenly developed?"

"That's what I'm hoping to find out."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat on Broccoli's bed. We decided to have a sleepover, seeing as we were now classmates and had spent all that time training together. He was sitting at his desk while writing in his analysis notebook.

"All-Might," I say as Broccoli nearly falls out of his seat.

"W-what? Why do you bring him u-up?"

"You're Quirk, it's All-Might's isn't it?" He looked at me in shock as I seemed to have gotten it correct.

"N-no i-it's um...yes it is." He looked saddened by the fact that I figured it out. "Is it that obvious?"

"Actually not really, I just did some research and found out that prior to All-Might there was a female hero who had a similar Quirk, so I just went off that. It's a transfered Quirk, that could explain the sudden Quirk despite telling me you're Quirkless," I was looking at him upside down. "What's it called?" I asked, seeing his flushed face.

"It's called One for All." I listen as he explains what All-Might had told him about his Quirk and how to handle it.

"So you just need to continue training." He nods.

"I'm behind everyone else."

"Actually that would be me and Cheshire."

"Yeah, but I believe that you'll get stronger, plus in battles he could easily defeat a foe as long as they answer his questions."

"Thanks, and true, but you can also get stronger through training and now I can also help with controlling your Quirk." I give him a smile as he smiles back and then his mom calls us for dinner.
