Today was the day...here he stood. Izuku Midoriya at the gates of UA Academy. It felt so surreal for him, he had always dreamed of this and here it finally was. His dream a reality, a reality he had earned with his own two hands and strength of heart.

"This is it....hehehe! I'm finally here! If this is a dream I better not wake up!" The green haired boy cheered to himself.

Minoru had just made it to the school's gate and spotted that unmistakable green fluffy hair on Izuku's head. Smiling to himself he put two fingers to his mouth and let out a loud whistle to catch the boys attention. It succeeded as Izuku turned his head to spot the shorter boy. 

"Mineta-kun!" Izuku smiled widely as he watched Minoru approach him.

"Hehehe, so we meet again huh?" The shorter boy spoke sporting a grin of his own.

 "Yeah we do! Maybe it's fate?" Izuku joked.

"Who knows? Maybe it is. Heh, stranger things have happened." Minoru spoke.

"Huh...well yeah that is true." Izuku agreed. "If it is fate...why don't we watch each others backs." He held out a hand to Minoru.

Minoru was taken back a bit...

"For real dude?" Minoru tilted his head with an eyebrow raised. Izuku only smiled and nodded.

"Pffff, well hot damn! Sure! Oh man first day of school and I already got someone backing me up!" The purple haired boy rejoiced as he shook Izuku's hand. Izuku laughed at this.

"Yeah, when you come to a new place...especially a school...it's best to know who your friends are. Now I wouldn't EXACTLY know this myself, since I normally tended to keep to myself but seeing it around me so often I kinda get the message." Izuku laughed nervously scratching the back of his head with a goofy smile.

"Join the club brother. It's either fit in or suffer. It sucks. If ya don't fit in, ya better make sure you got at least one or two friends you know that will have your back." Minoru smiled rolling his eyes, recalling his earlier school days.

"Hahaha. You sound like you've learned from experience..." Izuku's goofy smile remained.

"Ooooh yeah. Social outcast here." Minoru winked.

"Heh...Well aren't we a couple of misfits?" Izuku's smile softened.

Minoru noticed the change in Izuku's eyes....he had the same look in his eyes as him. At that moment...Minoru  knew for sure he and Izuku had more in common then he originally thought. 

"WELL hey! If life tries pushing us down now...we'll just push right back! We ain't alone anymore." Minoru patted Izuku's arm with a warm smile.

"I'd like that a lot Mineta-kun."

"Well then? Let's make it happen dude! With our brains, skill and power we could FOR SURE do it! We'd make quite the dream team! Say....what exactly is your quirk?" Minoru asked.

"Oh it's called All for One." He smiled.

"Oh, um what does it do?( Huh...it's name is close to One for All. )" Minoru pondered.

"I can take away quirks from other people, use them for myself or give them to others." Izuku said.

"WOW, that is dummy broken, but freaking cool." The smaller boy laughed.

"Yours?" Izuku asked.

"Oh um...pop off. These balls on my head...I can pull them off and they are SUPER sticky and stick to everything but me. I bounce off of them. They grow back the second I pop one off and I'll bleed once I get to a certain number of them." He smiled nervously.

"Hmm.....useful." Izuku smiled.

"Really? Not many people think so..."

"That's because none of them bothered to try and see it in it's fullest potential. Don't pay any mind to oblivious ignorance." Izuku reassured him.

"Wow...thanks Midoriya-kun." He blushed lightly looking away.

"No issue all though...you must have another quirk, because that wasn't the power I saw you use in the entrance exams."

"OH right......that. ( Crud, I can't tell him about one for all...um...okay okay what can I draw from what All Might told me already about it? )" Minoru thought very hastily. 

"It's a......Stockpile power quirk..." He croaked out.

Izuku went silent...he stared at Minoru very intently. 

"Um it stores up energy from me exercising and stores it inside me to call upon to enhance my speed, power and durability. Hehehehe...yeah. ( That's not technically a lie....)" Minoru explained.

 "I see. Hehehe, that's a very strong power. That and pop off combined make for a quirk combo. ( He's the new One for All....)" Izuku gave a thumbs up.

"Hehehe, thanks yours too man. Now then, onward to adventure!" Minoru smiled and pumped his fist in the air.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

"Let's go take this school by storm Midoriya!"

"Yes! Let's show everyone how heroic we can be!" Izuku said enthusiastically.  

"And scout some skirt while we're at it.~" Minoru coed.

Izuku crossed his arms and gave a very deadpan expression with a raised eyebrow, as well as tapping his foot.

"IN OUR SPARE TIME! Of course. We'll focus on school and work....and maybe check out some of the fish in this ocean in our down time, hehehe..."

"SIIIIIGH....Very well, but only when we have nothing important to do and we will be respectful and cautious." Izuku smiled lightly.

"YES! Knew you we're awesome dude." Minoru cackled.

"Hehehe, thanks."

They two friends chuckled and talked the whole way to class 1-A.

"Oh man, your in 1-A too?" Minoru asked.

"Uhuh! We're in the same class!" Izuku cheered.

"Just keeps getting better!~" Minoru laughed.

"Hey! You two!" A cheery familiar voice rang behind them.

The two boys turn to see the rosey cheeked girl from the entrance exams smiling at them.

"Hi! Guess we're in the same class together! Amazing! I get to be classmates with my two heroes!~" She beamed with happiness. 

Izuku and Minoru couldn't help but blush from her praise.

"Well we just did what any good person would." Izuku spoke up smiling.

"Yeah...hehehe, what he said." 

"Well, I still appreciate it a lot. Just know that." She smiled warmly.

"Are you three quite done?" A voice came from the teachers desk...

They all look in the direction of the voice to see a man in a sleeping bag.

"........Okaaaaaaaay....weird." Minoru gave a very questioning look.

"Um....sir? Are you okay?" Izuku asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I was just taking a nap." The man then stood up emerging from the sleeping bag.

"I'm Mr. Aizawa, your home room teacher. Hello students."

"Heya teach...( Is it me? Or does this guy looked stoned? )" Said and thought Minoru.

"Hi there....( He looks like he hasn't slept in days...)" Izuku thought.

"Hello sir....( Keep an open Mind Ochaco...keep an open mind...)"

"Uhuh, hello. Well you three can take a seat. You can get to know each other later, as soon as the other students arrive we're getting right into things." With that the man got back into the sleeping bag and laid back down.

"What in th-you know what? Sure, fine. Come on yall." Minoru suggested as he took a random desk.

Izuku and Ochako didn't really argue and just took seats near Minoru. Time seemed to go by as they sat together chatting and one by one the students began to flood the class room.

"Wow, a lot of these students look uber cool. ( They all look so cool and amazing! I wonder what quirks they have! They're limitations, they're strengths, they're weaknesses, an-mutter, mutter, mutter, mutter....)" Izuku said observing his new classmates.

"Ooooh yeah, a lot of em do.~" Minoru coed checking out the females of the class.

"I'd watch yourself Mineta-kun, the last thing you wanna do is give someone a bad first impression." Ochako said in a deadpan tone to Minoru.

"Hey, hey. I was only ADMIRING. Not staring. There's worlds of differences between them." Minoru crossed his arms and looked away pretending to be offended. 

"There are? Huh....I wasn't aware of that." Izuku innocently spoke.

"Oh my god..." Ochaco sighed, face palming. 

"I feel like I'm missing some context here..." Izuku rubbed the back of his neck.

"Nope, your not missing anything." Minoru assured. 

"Yeah I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you Mineta-kun." The pink cheeked girl said.

"Ya wouldn't be the first nor last. Bring it on sister." He rolled his eyes smirking.

"Oh then it is so TOTALLY on."The brunette she glared playfully. 

The three then shared a laugh together. 

"Alright, alright. All of you can it and listen up." Aizawa spoke emerging from his sleeping bag again.

The class stood at attention.

"I'm going to put you all through a quirk testing session to check your potential. If your quirk control and over all scores are good........then good for you."

"If it's bad, your gone. Expelled."

This earned a lot of gasp and rowdiness from the class.

"That's a joke right?" The pink skinned girl spoke in an uncertain tone. 

"Not at all. I expelled an entire class just last year because they had no potential."

"Wow! That's completely over the top and unfair!"  Ochaco protested.

"Are natural disasters fair? Are murders fair? Are freak accidents fair? No. It's they're not. That's the point of this test. To test your competence and capabilities during these unfair events."

This silenced the class. His words were true. So painfully true. 

"If you think you have the skills to be a hero then prove it in this test. Now everyone change into your PE outfits and meet me out back in the school's PE grounds." He then stacked some PE outfits with name labels them on his desk and walked out.

"Man what hardass." A blonde boy with black streaks in his hair spoke.

"I get what he's saying but weren't we all literally already tested to prove we belonged here already?" A boy with red spiky hair said.

"And instant expulsion? That's just a tad bit much..." An invisible girl spoke.

"Jeez guys the class is NOT happy..." Minoru whispered to Izuku and Ochaco.

"Can you really blame them?" Ochaco replied. 

Izuku stayed silent but seeing the dismay of the other students he stood up and spoke.

"Everyone please listen to what I have to say!" Izuku's voice quickly gained the attention of the class.

"I know this may seem harsh, but listen. You all have nothing to worry about. You all were allowed to come here for a reason! If you didn't have potential, you wouldn't have even made it to this school. You proved in your exams that you had the spark to become something great and that's why your here now! Show that same spark of skill again and you'll succeed! I know it! Go beyond! Plus ultra!!!" He cheered with a voice full of heart and soul.

The students looked at the boy with wide and surprised eyes...then one began to clap..a boy with short black hair and glasses, then a girl with long black hair in pony tail began to clap...then before he knew it the whole class was clapping.

"That was a really inspiring speech, ribbit." A frog like girl smiled.

"Yeah dude! Real manly of you!" The spiky red head spoke.

"Quite a way with words you have." The black pony tailed girl complimented.

"Truly outstanding." The glasses boy spoke proudly. 

"Hehehehe, it was nothing...you all seemed pretty spooked up. So I just thought I'd prep you up!" His cheeks flushed red.

"Aghh, your voice is the most annoying thing known to man..." Bakuguo groaned. 

Izuku frowned.

"Well then, why not just tune me out? Like you do everything besides your own ego." Izuku spat.

"Oh look at this the shitty nerd grew a pair!" He stood up angrily.

"No. This nerd just finally stop fearing you."

"Oh? How about we fucking fix that huh?" Explosions crackled from the blonde boys hands.

"That would be a very poor choice. With everyone here as a witness, if you start a fight with me on your first day it's not gonna end well for you. No one here will vouch for you and also if Aizawa is serious about that expelling a whole class over a lack of potential...you'll more then likely get expelled immediately if lose your temper and attack a fellow student out of spite." Izuku crossed his arms speaking wit a stoic face.

Bakuguo growled furiously. He wanted to blow the smartass to kingdom come, but he was right. He wasn't about to ruin his place here at UA.

"Fucking smartass Deku..."

"Yo man what the Hell's your issue?" Kirishima spoke up.

"Fucking shut it shitty hair! And you Deku...you better watch it, cause I'm gonna crush you down until there's nothing left! Same goes for any of you extras! Get in my way and you worthless fucks are dead meat!" He then grabbed his PE outfit and stormed out.

"Savage." Momo sighed.

"His attitude is an utterly disgusting sight to be seen in such a proper and studious school such as UA." Ida added.

"Just ignore him. It's what I do." Izuku said getting his PE outfit.

"Jeez, what's his problem with you?" Minoru asked picking up his outfit.

"He just has this petty delusion that I look down on him and think he's weak. Which is severely hypocritical because he does that to just about everyone he meets." Izuku rolled his eyes.

"Dude sounds like a major douche bag." Kaminari said.

"He really is. Don't let his rotten personality drag you all down. Just focus on doing your best and helping each other." Izuku spoke in a friendly yet stern tone.

Ochako's heart fluttered, she was infatuated by mature side.

"Hehe! Yeah forget that jerk! Let's go knock Aizawa's socks off! That is if he's wearing any." Minoru said.

"Why would he not wear socks?" Jirou spoke confused.

"Hey you'd be surprised." Minoru joked. 

This earned him an eye roll and chuckle from Jirou.

"Well hurry up yall!" Ochaco cheered grabbing her PE uniform.

The rest of the class cheered and changed quickly and made their way to the PE grounds.

"Finally your all here." Aizawa sighed.

"Sorry sir. I just wanted to give the class a quick pep talk. I apologize." Izuku bowed.

"Hmmm. That right?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow.

"Heck ya! dude got us pumped! Bring on the test man!" Kirishima bashed his fists together.

"Huh. Well in that case, don't apologize Midoriya." 

"Oh...Okay sir!" Izuku smiled.

"You were really cool back there Midoriya-kun." Ochaco blushed.

"H-Hehehe, thanks...I mean it really wasn't anything too special." He became flustered himself by all the attention.

"Okay enough. Focus. First up we'll be doing a 50 meter dash. Two will go at a time. I'll be recording your times and scores. The ones that score the lowest are gone."

Some of the students gulped....

Izuku's POV:

Okay I can understand his reasoning but could he at least TRY to encourage them positively? He's really not doing much to boost their moral...that's kind of a teacher's job.

"No one's going anywhere cause everyone's gonna do amazing!" I shout with a reassuring smile to the others.

"Yeah! You guys kicked butt to get here and your gonna do it again!" Mineta backed me up.

I could see their faces lighten and perk up. Guess that worked. Good. I'm really happy to have Mineta backing me up. He's really enthusiastic.

"First up. Iida and Asui." 

I then watch as Iida and Asui go up to the racing track and ready themselves. I see the same engines pipes on Iida's calves as in the exam...from what I can pull he can move at super speeds. I wonder what's his speed cap? Does it have negative affects on his legs or body?  Does it drain him with extended use? Then there's Asui...by observing her, I'd say her quirk is something frog related. I'm pretty her saying ribbit at the end of her sentences isn't just some cute gag. Also her face and body psyche kinda give off the froggy vibes too. Can she do anything a frog can? Is she a certain species of frog? Is she limited to the powers of a certain breed of frog? Can she use powers of other frog species an-mutter, mutter, mutter...

 "Agh!" I then feel someone jab my side. I look over to see it was Mineta.

"Dude, your muttering out loud." He told me with a raised eyebrow.

"Oops...sorry. I tend to do that often."

"Allow me to help you break the habit my good sir." Minoru spoke in a snoody tone.

"Pfff...hehe. Okay okay sure."

"Ready go!" Just like Aizawa set the two off. Iida effortlessly zoomed passed Asui who then began leaping great distances but Iida kept a stead fast lead.

It took about 3 seconds for Iida to finish, while Asui finished in 5 seconds.

"Both good times. Impressive." Aizawa said in a very stoic tone. Jeez, he really is hard to impress.

"Thank you sir!" Iida bowed.

"Ribbit." Asui just nodded. 

"Awesome you two!" I yelled.

"Yeah totally wicked!" Mineta added.

Iida and Asui really seemed to appreciate it as they stood back in their places near the others.

"Next. Uraraka and Ojiro." Aizawa spoke.

"Okay, here we go..." Uraraka spoke uncertain.

"I'll do my best." Ojiro spoke with confidence. 

"Do your best Uraraka-chan! I believe you and you should believe in yourself too!" Izuku smiled warmly at her.

This caused Uraraka to blush very heavily. 

"Yeah dude, you can do it if you just believe you can! I mean look at me! A loser like me made it here! You got this girl.~" Mineta snapped his fingers and winked at her.

Uraraka's resolve strengthened and she gripped her fists in determination. 

"Right! Thank you! I'll give it all I got!" She beamed as she took her postilion along side Ojiro.

I then see her touch her clothes with her finger tips and faint pink glows emit from her fingers. Ahhh....I see! She's making her clothes lighter so she can run faster! Clever. In the exam, I saw her using her quirk. It's some sort of quirk that affects gravity. She seems to be only to activate it through touch and deactivates it by pressing her fingers together. Very cool quirk! I wonder what are it's limitations? How many things can she affect? Can she control things in zero gravity? Do-Izuku stop it...your about to ramble again...

"Go!"The teacher sounded off.

Uraraka took off running as fast as her legs could take her, Ojiro shoot off the ground like a spring with his tail. He leaped a great distance ahead of Uraraka and kept up until he reached the end finishing in 5 seconds and Uraraka shortly finished after in 7 seconds.

"Huff...huff....release..." Uraraka places her fingers together and deactivated her quirk.

"That was pretty good Uraraka-chan." Ojiro spoke to her.

"Thanks...huff....you too...oh god I'm out breathe...."

"Acceptable." Aizawa spoke blandly.

Again Aizawa didn't look too impressed...he's gonna be really hard to please. Either that or he's just a really good actor.

"You two did great! Good job!" I smiled at them.

"Awesome sauce.~" Said Mineta.

Ojiro bowed and Uraraka smiled and stood back with us.

"Next. Ashido and Aoyama." Aizawa said yawning.

I cheer on Ashido and Aoyama as they take their positions. When Aizawa gives the go, Ashido takes off by sliding on this odd white liquid that screeds from her feet. I see this liquid left burn marks on the ground. Is it some kinda acid? Hmmm. Further study required. Aoyama shot this blue sparkling laser from his navel through some...belt? I guess it helps him use his quirk. That's the only thing I can think it's for. Questions for later. Mina finished in 4 seconds while Aoyama came in 5.

"Awesome Ashido! You were great! Aoyama, I was dazzled!~" I smiled.

"Awww, thanks sweetheart.~" Ashido winks at me. I kinda blush in response, though training with Stain gave me a huge confidence boots...

Talking to girls and flirts were a WHOLE other ball park for me...

"Why thank you Midoriya my dear friend. Knowing my performance entranced you fills my heart with song!" Aoyama said with a very pearly white smile.

"Good enough." Aizawa said.

Minoru's POV:

Well isn't this guy just a ball of sunshine? Agh, this is gonna be an extremely boring class if he's gonna be like that ALL year long. 

Whatever, besides that watching the others go was pretty rad. They've got some cool freaking quirks. Though it's nothing quite like Midoriya's or mine.~

"Next. Mineta and Todoroki." Aizawa said.

Welp that's me. I see Midoriya smirking at me, I smile and give him a thumbs up. 

"Do your best you two!" Midoriya cheered.

"You got it bud." I said.

As me and Todoroki walked to the racing track, I spared a few glances at him. Gotta say, there was just this....coldness to his eyes. I didn't quite it but I guess it wasn't really important. I needed to focus. Though I couldn't quite push the thought of what kinda crazy quirk this guy has. Again regardless gotta focus. 

We both take our positions and ready ourselves. I can see a few of the others looking giving me odd looks and aghh...I know those looks all too well. "The little guy" looks. They're all probably thinking I'm gonna bomb this. Well guess what? I got an ace up my sleeve. Ya know? I really want to show them what I can do. Soooo...I'm gonna add an extra 5% to my Full Cowl. It won't be for a prolonged period of time. It'll only be a few seconds, I should be able to handle 10% for like what? 2 or 3 seconds? I'm already pretty fast at 5% so 10% should be even faster!

I then channel my energy at 5% then slowly raise it to 10% as I ready to take off. I feel a slight strain in my body, probably due to the sudden limit break.

"Go!" Aizawa shouted.

I then kick off the ground and run at a faster speed then before. I can feel the air hit my face as I zoom to the finish line. I make it there a lot faster then I expected. After I come to a halt, I instantly shut off Full Cowl. I feel  a small rebound hit my body, I grit my teeth in pain but shrug it off as it wasn't that bad. Todoroki then finished next sliding on ice. 

"Hey man, good race." I said to him with a sporty smirk.

He only glared at me...jeez if looks could kill I'd be dead. I just turn away from him quickly, I then see the surprised looks of all the students. I smirk enjoying them very much. Never look down on the small guy!

"Very good." He showed our times. I made it in 2 seconds, while Shoto made it in 4.

"Awesome! Agh..." My body ached a small bit, but nothing too serious. 

 I see Aizawa give me a look, I quickly shrug off the pain again and stand back with the other students.

"That was amazing Mineta-kun!" Izuku cheered.

"Yeah! You were almost a blur!" Ochaco praised. 

"Wow, guess big things really do come in small packages." Kaminari said.

"DON'T.....CALL....ME....SMALL......" A faint purple aura emitted from me.

"EEP! Okay, okay! Sorry!" Kaminari raises his hands up frightened.

"Siiiigh....Forget it, it's cool" My aura faded.

Izuku's POV:

Minoru did really well. He's really rocking One for All, giving how he didn't react when I told him my quirk...All Might hasn't told him the whole truth.

I just hope when he does learn, he cans still come to trust me as a friend...

"Next Midoriya and Bakuguo."

Why am I not surprised? I glance over at Bakuguo who's giving me a very nasty glare. Per usual, however he also smirked thinking this was his time to show me up. Well unfortunately for him, that's not gonna be the case. Perfect time to finally try out this new quirk dad let me take off him. It's perfect for this scenario. 

I smirk to myself as we head to the racing track and take our positions. I glance over at Bakuguo one last time, again he glared at me. I simply gave him a friendly smirk.

"Good luck." I said.

He only scuffed in response. I let out a soft chuckle and turn my head to focus this new quirk. Concentrating I activate it. Small glowing white wings appeared on the heels of my feet and they sparked as well. 

"Go!" I hear Aizawa sound off.

I then take off the ground running at a speed equal to that of Mineta and Iida. Behind me I hear rapid explosions, Bakuguo must be using his explosions to propel himself forward. Clever but unfortunately my quirk was faster and I made it in about 3 seconds. I then slide on my feet to stop and Bakuguo finished right after me a second later then me.

The look on his face just seeped with rage seeing me beat him. It brought an odd pleasure to me, mostly because this jerk has tormented me my whole childhood for the dumbest reason. 

"DEKU...." He growled. 

"You did great." I then turn away from him and walk back to the others, not even giving him a chance to get out anything.

"WOW! Dude! What quirk was that?!~" Mineta bounced excitedly.

"I call it Icarus. With it I can run at super speeds and jump extremely high."

"Hmmm....Midoriya. While that is cool. That wasn't the quirk I saw you use in the entrance exam. I'm pretty sure I saw you flying at one point near the start. Then when the giant robot came you used some quirk to power up a pellet or marble." Ohcaco caught on.

"3 quirks? Is that possible?" Tokoyami spoke out.

"Well...It's part of my quirk. I can take quirks from others and use them for myself or give them."

Everyone went silent...stares stuck to him like glue.

"Your kidding...right?" Kaminari asked in disbelieve. 

"No. It's true. That's my power. I call it Avarice." 

"That is SO COOL!!!" Mina shouted ecstatic.

"Such a strong quirk." Iida muttered. 

"How many quirks do you have man?!" Kirishima asked me.

"Let's see......currently 11. Or 12 counting my original quirk that allows me to do this."

"Wow! Your a total powerhouse!" Toru said.

"Excuse me Midoriya-kun. You said you TAKE quirks yes? Does this render victim quirkless?" Momo asked.

"Yes...it does sadly."

Now everyone REALLY looked afraid. Looks of fear and uncertainty. I didn't like that at all.

"BUT! I'd never STEAL a quirk! The one's I have now were given to me by some friends that didn't really want them anymore. So they let me have them instead." I lie because I sure as HELL can't tell them all the truth...

"Oh, I see. Sorry if I implicated anything..." Momo apologized. 

"It's okay don't worry Momo-chan."

"Hey, don't worry guys! Midoriya here is a real cool dude. He wouldn't do any of you wrong." Mineta spoke up for me.

"Yeah, I agree. Thus far Midoriya seems like a real chill guy." Hanta agreed.

"Not much reason at all to doubt him, ribbit."

This brought a huge smile to my face, finally. A place where I truly belong.

No one's POV:

After that little heart filled moment the rest of the quirk assessment test went off without a hitch. Everyone scored decently with Izuku, Minoru, Iida, Bakuguo, Shoto, Tokoyami and Momo being the top scorers.  

However Izuku noticed something as well as Aizawa. Everytime Minoru went up for his turn at the end he would always seem to be in pain. He would always quickly shrug it off but his face showed clearly he was hurting. Izuku figured he'd talk to him after they're results are showed. Aizawa would speak to him about it after school. 

"That concludes the test. Now to tally up your scores." Aizawa spoke activating the big screen.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats as the huge monitor displayed their results. Izuku was scored in 1st rank, Minoru was 2nd ranked, Momo 3rd, Shoto 4th, Bakuguo 5th, Iida 6th, Tokoyami 7th. As the list reached the end....poor Toru was last ranked.

"No way...." The poor invisible girl chocked out. Her invisibility hiding the tears that were poking at her eyes.

"Very good everyone. Also, no one's going home. I lied."

"WHAAAAT!?!?!?" A few students screamed in unison.   

"You mean you guys didn't catch on?" Momo asked.

"A necessary deception, to make us give it EVERYTHING we had..." Izuku spoke reliving memories of Stain's brutal training.

"I get it but kind of a dick move." Minoru shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Call it what you'd like but it was the best tactic to push you all to bring out will power within you, that you probably didn't know you had. Pressure can really bring things out in people." Aizawa said with his stoic face. Yet there was an odd passion to his voice this time. He even offered them a smile for the first time.

"You should smile more often teacher. The one's who bring out the best in people are the one's who smile often!" Izuku said happily.

"Hm. We'll see. Continue to impress me and maybe I will. You all go change back and head back to class." He said walking off.

"Sigh...." Minoru sighed.

"Hey Mineta-kun?" Izuku tapped his shoulder.

"Yeah, Midoriya-kun?" He turned around.

"Are you okay?" He asked in a concerned manner.

"Fine...why?" Minoru looked confused.

"Well it's just after each of your turns, you looked to be in pain."

"Oh you noticed that..." Minoru's eyes trailed off.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Okay look, the stockpile quirk has A LOT of energy stored up in me and well. My body can't really handle ALL of it just yet. So I gotta use it at a low percentage, if not I could really mess myself up."

"I see, was that what you were doing?" Izuku asked.

"Well...I wanted to really impress everyone so I just went over my limit by 5%."

"Please don't do that. I understand your reasoning given the situation but PLEASE do NOT needlessly hurt yourself." Izuku crossed his arms.

"Yeesh, okay I won't. Sorry." Minoru flinched a bit.

"Thank you. I say this only because I care and I really didn't like seeing you in pain like that." His face dropped a bit.

Minoru kinda felt bad now, making the poor guy worry about em...

"Thanks man. Really your awesome. I'll be careful." Minoru smirked.

"Hehehe! Good!"

"Room for one more?" Ochaco came up to them.

"Always room for you sweet cheeks.~" Minoru coed.

"You are so cheesy. Want some wine with that?" The girl smirked.

"I'd GLADLY take anything you'd serve me." Minoru bows.

This earned a chuckle from both Izuku and Ochaco.

"You two did AMAZING!" She beamed.

"Well no one managed to get infinity!" Izuku laughed.

"Hehehe, true.~" She winked.

"But still you two were awesome."

"Thanks Ura-chan. You too." Minoru he gave her the peace sign.

"Thanks! Oh and um, Midoriya?" The girl got a bit quiet.

"Yes Uraraka?"

"You said you could GIVE quirks right?" She gave him a rather serious look.

"Yes, I did...Why?" He raised an eyebrow.

Ochaco stayed silent for a few moments then shook her head.

"Just checking to see if I heard you right, hehehe." She scratched the back of her head laughing nervously.

"Oh um, okay then." Izuku seemed off put by her reaction.

Minoru feeling the air tense up, he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey we should get going to change." Minoru suggested.

"Yeah totally! Let's go!" Ochaco agreed rather quickly. 

"Yeah, let's go guys!"

The three smiled and walked off together chatting all the while.

Aizawa rounded a corner to see find All Might leaning against the wall.

"Why did I know you'd be around here?" Aizawa spoke.

"Hahaha! Just checking up on our new students!"

"You shouldn't favor students All Might."

"Sigh...I'm just..."

"Worried for Minoru and worried about Izuku. All Might listen, before we accepted him here we all had a talk with him about him and his quirk. He's not some spy or snake waiting to bite. He's an honest good kid."

"I know...it's not him I distrust. I distrust that power of his. Power can change someone." All Might gritted his teeth.

"Power on it's own, just like any tool is only as dangerous as the person behind it." Aizawa replied.

"He'll use it for the right reasons. Have faith. Isn't that your thing after all?" Aizawa then walked passed him.

"Hehehe! Using my own morality against me! Well played Eraser!" The smiling man laughed as he followed Aizawa.

"Thanks. I needed to hear that."

"No problem. Also that Minoru seems to be behaving himself. He hasn't done anything outrageously inappropriate. I can put up with glances, but if he goes beyond that, I won't be forgiving." Aizawa said in a stern tone.

"Don't worry! Minoru has learned a good amount of self restraint over these 10 months I've trained him!" All Might said proudly.

"Good. Let's hope it stays that way. He has potential. Izuku too."

"Let's do our best for them both." All Might patted his shoulder.

"That IS our job." Aizawa smiled under his scarf. 

All Might laughed as the two made their way back inside the school to continue the day.

To be continued.
