With a slight limp from his healing leg, Izuku slowly makes his way to the front entrance of UA this morning. After the festival, he went back home to spend time with his mother and celebrate his win. Today as he returns to campus, a mob of people is almost a hundred times the size of the first group that showed up with All Might was there. Beside him, Ochako stops moving as she too sees the mob of people swarming the gates. "Oh that's not good." She says seeing all the people. "I think they're here to see you, Deku-kun." Izuku turns to look at her and then back to all the people. "Got any ideas on how we're gonna get to class?" She asks but she notices that his eyes are wide with shock, deciding to follow where he's looking she turns her head and sees the mob of people running towards them. "Midoriya! Do you really have One for All?" "Are you All Might's Successor?" "Can you give me One for All?" She hears them shouting as they make a B-line right for them. Without thinking, Izuku grabs Ochako around the hip, activates his quirk and jumps a good 25ft into the air over the high fence of UA's outer wall. Ochako initially screams when he grabs her around the waist but she realizes what his plan was while they're midair and she touches herself and him making them weightless aside from their backpacks which bring them slowly back down to the ground.

"Well well well, looks like the two of you really are lovebirds after all." Mina says before she takes a picture with her phone. The two look at her for a second confused, then Izuku realizes that he still has an arm around Ochako's waist. After this realization he snaps his hands upwards as if he's surrendering to the police with his face red with blush. "And send. Looks like you two are our first official UA couple." Mina says as she turns her phone around showing them the picture she posted to the class group chat.

"MINA!!!" Ochako shouts as she presses her hands together releasing her quirk. Her pink haired friend grins then sticks her tongue out at her while pulling down an eyelid before Ochako starts chasing after her. Izuku just watches as Ochako chases after Mina before chuckling to himself and picking up Ochako's backpack that she dropped.

During the first few days at UA, none of the students really paid any attention to him as he walked through the school, today however is a completely different story. The only attention he got previously was a few chuckles from upperclassmen after he asked one of them for directions. A man in the third year course with blonde hair and blue eyes had told him that the 1st year history classroom was on the 17th floor by the pool. It was only after he went to the elevator and saw it only went up to 15 did he realize that he was being messed with. Today though, the attention he's getting from the other students almost rivals that of the sports festival. When he exits the elevator to the 5th floor, every single person in the hallway turns and looks at him. Because of how awkward Izuku actually is, he can't read their expressions all that well and assumes it's just popularity from winning the sports festival. He awkwardly smiles and even waves to a few 2nd year students, further adding to the awkwardness. What he doesn't notice are the looks of envy from a lot of the 2nd year male students, and almost an iota of reverence from the girls in the 2nd and 3rd years. As he opens the doors to Aizawa's homeroom, he stops seeing each and every single hero he's trained with in the classroom and his classmates are dead quiet.

"Uhh... I'm not late, am I?" he asks, noticing the amount of people all staring at him and a second later the late bell rings. When it does, Present Mic shuts the door behind him causing his eyes to widen. "I'm not in trouble, am I?"

"No, Midoriya you're not but there's been some things we need to discuss and nothing we talk about will leave this room. Do I make myself clear?" Aizawa asks through gritted teeth, the class answers with a resounding "Yes Sir!" before he directs Izuku to take a seat. "Welp, cats out of the bag now but I'm sure a few of you probably pieced it together by now. Thanks a lot, Bakugou. You couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut."

"So it's true then, Midoriya does have One for All?" Momo asks, causing Aizawa to nod affirmatively at her question. "Then was he... quirkless?" She asks, causing Izuku to swallow a lump of anxiety in his throat.

"What difference does that make? I was quirkless before I met Nana Shimura." All Might says as he enters the room in his skinny form. The yellow suit he's wearing is extremely baggy over his decrepit form. "This has become a serious issue, now that Bakugou outed Young Midoriya for being my successor the whole world has now turned their eyes on him. And I do mean everyone." He says before clicking a button on the desk displaying a series of numbers beside each of their names across the board. "And yes. I am All Might." He says, before flexing his buff form to prove what he's saying is true.

"Your performance in the sports festival was supposed to garner offers from hero agencies all over Japan. You all are going to get to choose one of these agencies to intern with as a sidekick and maybe even get to use your quirks in the field. However, since Midoriya got ousted as All Might's successor he was offered a position from every hero agency."

"Every hero agency in Japan?" Izuku asks, noticing his name doesn't have any numbers beside it on the board. Each of the heroes go silent before All Might clicks the button again revealing Izuku's number.

Izuku Midoriya: 2,250,000

"Globally." All Might says just after relaxing and becoming skinny again. "With that being said, today you all have to choose your hero names, then attend the rest of your classes. I have to leave for a press conference and try to cover up this mess that was created. Despite our best efforts, we haven't exactly been able to cover up Young Midoriya being my successor."

"What about the quirk that manifested at the sports festival?" Iida asks, while raising his hand. Once again defeating the purpose of raising his hand and then waiting to be answered.

"I have no idea." All Might says, causing the others to deadpan at him. "Nana Shimura was my master and her quirk allowed her to float, and with One for All she used it to fly. Her master was a man named En Tayutai aka Smoke Eater but before him we don't know the other names of the previous holders aside from the Black Whip quirk's original user."

"It belonged to a hero who was active around 80-95 years ago. He possessed the black whip quirk and was a hero at a time before our current hero ranking system. His name was Daigoro Banjo aka the hero Lariat and he too had super strength but nowhere near on the level of All Might and now with Midoriya. The trail goes cold after that," Principal Nezu explains before turning to Izuku. "The running hypothesis is that whenever One for All is passed from person to person, it transfers itself and their quirk to the next user, or at the very least a part of that quirk."

"If that's the case, then why can't All Might use any of these... predecessor quirks then?" Bakugou asks, "And why choose Deku of all people to hold One for All?" The ash blonde's question annoys a few of the staff, and Iida is also annoyed that he still has his feet up on his desk, reclined back in his chair like he owns the place.

"For starters, the reason I chose Young Midoriya to succeed me is because he was like me. I was quirkless too, and the day I met Nana Shimura. I was still in middle school and was walking home after class. Back then, quirkless people were more abundant than they are nowadays. During my walk, there was a bank robbery in Shizuoka and the getaway car was speeding through the streets after having fled all the way here to Mustafu. Nana Shimura was chasing after them at the time, and witnessed me run out into traffic to grab a mother and child and pull them to safety, preventing them from getting hit. Me running out into the street caused the driver to swerve and he lost control before wrapping the vehicle around a power pole. After the surviving thugs got arrested, Nana tracked me down and asked why I did that. I told her that my body moved on its own, that I didn't even think about trying to save them, I just moved."

"Is that why you chose Deku then?" Ochako asks.

"About a year before UA started, I met Young Midoriya after he got attacked by a villain made of sludge. I almost jumped away before I could answer his question but he grabbed onto my legs before we landed on a building. He asked me if I thought quirkless people could be heroes too... and initially I said yes but I warned him that it was extremely dangerous and would lead to an early grave." All Might says before taking a brief moment to pause. "Later that day I had to go back to the grocery store since I left what I bought there to go take down that sludge villain. Low and behold that slippery bastard managed to escape the soda bottles I put him in and had attacked someone. Care to take a guess on who that person was?" All Might asks, causing Bakugou's face to flush red with embarrassment over what's about to be said. "It was Bakugou. The villain was forcing him to use his quirk on the shops causing several large fires. As this is going down, I tried weaving my way through the crowd without my buff form since I used up all the time I had for that day. As I got to the front, who else would run out into a burning alley, with an active villain with a hostage but for Young Midoriya himself. While he didn't defeat the villain, he created the opening I needed to defeat the thing."

"He asked me why I went in to rescue Kacchan and I told him the same thing. That my body just moved for me. After that he offered me to become his successor." Izuku adds, finishing the rest of the flashback.

"As for why I don't have any of the other predecessor quirks. I don't know, it might be that I'm not strong enough anymore for them to have manifested or that I strengthened One for All to the point that the predecessor quirks can now appear." All Might says before taking a deep breath. "Regardless, Midoriya is now stronger than me in my weakened state."

"With all that being said, when Heroics class starts today, you all will be choosing your hero names and then heading to the fields for your own free training." Aizawa says before the homeroom bell rings. "Midoriya, as for your internship, All Might has something for you so don't bother with the other offers. None of them are paid internships anyways. Class dismissed." Aizawa says releasing the students to their first class of the day.

Izuku felt extremely nervous about his interactions with his classmates through the rest of the day but, as far as he can tell nothing has changed since they learned the truth. Sure Bakugou being Bakugou but what's new there? As he notices the lack of reaction to the news he was quirkless, he shifts his attention to how they're acting around him now that the know but even then it's just business as usual. Ochako sits beside him at lunch, with Iida, Todoroki and Kirishima seated across from him at the same table, Bakugou reluctantly joins the lunch group as well but, that's mainly due to Kirishima being there. Looking outside the glass windows on the 8th floor, Izuku notices that the press is still swarming the entrance, despite Powerloader and Midnight's attempts to shoe them off. 

"I don't think they're going to go anywhere anytime soon." Izuku says as he plays with a few pieces of fried pork in his bowl. "Any of you guys have ideas for your hero names?" He asks before grabbing a piece of pork and dipping it into some of the sauce on a side dish.

"I was thinking of basing mine on Crimson Riot, he has a pretty similar hardening quirk to me. Plus with the red hair and all, I thought I might go with a similar name. I was thinking Red Riot, sound good?" Kirishima asks before noticing the curry that  Bakugou is munching on. "What did you get?" He asks before stealing a piece of beef with his chopsticks. 

"Don't steal my fucking food, weird hair! You didn't pay for it!" Bakugou snaps before grabbing his bowl and hiding it away from Kirishima. "Besides, I can tell you dyed your hair. Your roots are showing." Kirishima bites the piece of beef he stole, his face flushes with embarrassment but that could also just be the insane heat of Bakugou's curry. 

"Wooooaaahhh oh my god... Bakugou what the hell is this?!" Kirishima shouts as he breathes out fire across the table. Izuku has to duck as a stream of flames sprays above his head. "Also, why do you have to point out my roots, not cool dude!" 

"Kacchan was that your curry or the school's curry? My mom still wants the recipe for it." Izuku perks up from across the table. 

"She can pry it from my cold dead hands!" He shouts with his teeth gnashing at Deku, with spittle spraying from his mouth. "As for my hero name Im going with something that will strike fear into anyone stupid enough to fight me!" Bakugou jumps up on the table, almost stepping in Iida's plate as he boats his hero name choice. "I'LL BE LORD EXPLOSION MURDER NO NO WAIT, KING EXPLOSION MURDER." Im not sure what kind of response he was expecting, but the series of deadpanned expressions around him from the tablemates apparently aren't it. "WHAT?!" He shouts. 

"I don't think that name's going to be acceptable Bakugou. You cant exactly include a felony in your hero name. it defeats the purpose." Iida says as he removes his glasses and cleans them for a moment. "Also, as far as Im aware you're not a lord or a king so that doesn't fit either." 

"The hell four eyes? I thought you were on my side!" 

"What made you think that?" Iida asks "The only part of your hero name that has anything to do with you is the word explosion." 

"Why cant I include King in my name huh? The bulldog faced teacher of 1-B has king in his name." Bakugou shouts, not realizing that Vlad King is in the lunch hall. "Ugh. Fine, I'll think of something else." He says before shoveling some of his curry into his mouth. 

"As for my hero name, I was thinking of taking my brother's hero name since... the incident." Iida says before trailing off. "Id want to honor his memory, but I still feel like I need to earn the title."

"You're not the only one to have lost a sibling Iida, I understand how hard it is." Todoroki speaks up for the first time during lunch. "My brother Toya died when I was young, but come to find out he didn't die in that incident and he's now the villain Dabi. So he's just as gone." He says as he rests a hand on Iida's shoulder. "I have no idea what I should be called for my hero name so, fuck it. Im just gonna use my first name."   

"That leaves two, got any ideas for your hero name Midoriya?" Kirishima asks, after having doused himself with his cup of water in order to cool the heat from the curry. 

"I was thinking of going with something Uraraka told me on the first day of classes. Im going to choose Deku, because she said it sounds like the word Dekiru which means You can Do it." Izuku says before turning to Ochako. "Any ideas for yours?" 

"Well, I kinda thought of something similar to Kirishima's idea. Since with the whole zero gravity thing and my love for space. I think I'll go with Uravity for mine." She says, "And I think Deku fits really well for your hero name." 

"Finally figured out your name yet or is the smoke from the gears in your head turning just from Kirishima's burnt tongue." Todoroki asks, Bakugou merely flips him off for this statement. 

"First off. Fuck you." He says with a mouth full of food before pausing to swallow. "Secondly, yeah I got an idea. The Explosive Hero, Dynamight." He says confidently, and this time the others actually like the name choice.

"Well you got one that fits you now, plus your fuse is just as short so it works." Todoroki says as he twirls his chopsticks in the soba noodles. 

"Go fuck yourself Icyhot." Bakugou snarls, slamming his empty bowl on the table causing it to spill curry residue. 

"Fuck me yourself. Coward." Todoroki responds before Bakugou lunges over the table and sets an explosion off in his face as in typical class 1-A fashion, even lunch time devolves into complete chaos.
