Hellooooooooooo.~ Welcome back.

Minoru's POV:

These's nine months have been TORTURE for me...I'm not really the most physically fit...sooo cleaning an entire beach and carrying and pushing heavy crap is pretty taxing for me...however despite the agonizing start up...it got easier over time and I started to bulk up a lot. I was never that motivated to work out but All Might just kinda...I dunno pushed me to do so. I started working out at home and even used my allowance to buy training gear...instead of spending it on doujins and other thins I rather not mention...

Speaking of said things...I...actually started to clean out my room a bit. I kept a few things for myself but I boxed up and got rid of a lot of other stuff. Look I can't lie when I say I'm a massive perv but...if I'm gonna reach the bar All Might set for me, I gotta shape up...This is a once and life time chance. So I gotta cut back with my stupid habits...and looking back on things now...what girl would like my creep ass? I feel like this whole thing...my near death experience, All Might choosing me...my training...it's all open my eyes to a bigger picture.

I'll show the real me...and I know people will think I'm cool..and then...when they see a joke like me can go from zero to hero...it'll inspire them to try their best to rise up and become cool too. That's what I want...and a girlfriend still wouldn't be bad, BUT can't rush that one.

Well it's gonna be a struggle getting over my habits and urges but hey...effort. Even if I get over them...most girls wouldn't date me because of my height...seriously come on don't judge a man for something he can't help! Siiigh...Well at least my new muscle build can make up for my size cause DAMN do I look good.~

Okay getting a bit off topic...but basically things really need to change with me. I can't keep on like this...I've taken on a huge mantle now...so some things gotta change...I'm now the barer of One for All...the secret of All Might's power...he originally wanted to grant me this power at the end of next month but he decided to give to me a month early. He said he wanted to give me some time to test One for All and also because he said I seem to catch onto things quickly...

I mean I'm actually smarter then people give me credit for. I say it makes up for my size...I can really be smart when I don't have girls on my mind...well I got bigger things on my mind now. Figuring out how the HELL to use this power without wrecking myself...All Might told me I can't use all of it's power cause if I did...my body basically explode...yeeaaaaaaaah...

The first time I used it as a test run...I broke my arm...Good thing All Might is good friends with Recovery Girl...I always dreamed of a nurse kissing my wounds buuuut not quite what I got...but hey she saved me a crap ton of healing time, so I can't really complain.

I finally get done cleaning out a lot of the pervy crap in my room and Jesus this was a lot...I really do have a problem...I really am like my mom. It's why I never met my dad...my mom was unfaithful. Look don't get the wrong idea my mom is a great mom. She loves me, cares for me, listens to me and will go out of her way for me. She's a great mom it's just...she can't seem to stay loyal to one man. Even so...I still love her. She's all I have and she cares for me, no one's perfect.

Speaking of fathers...All Might has kinda been like one to me. Looking out for me...teaching me...keeping me in line...but I never said this to his face of course...not pulling the pin on that awkwardness grenade. So I'll keep it to myself for now. Okay I'll write in my journal really fast and get to training with One for All.

15 minutes later.

After recorded the events of today thus far into my journal, I got dressed in my favorite purple hoodie, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. With that I head to the open woods near the park where I wouldn't be bothered or bother anyone.

I figured I'd call All Might and ask him to meet with me for this buuut I wanted to try and see if I could get a baring on One for All myself. If I can...he'll be so impressed! Okay okay...let's start with what I know. I know for a fact I can't use 100% of One for All other wise bones go crunch, crunch, snap, snap. It's a lot of power surging through me...it's supposed to amplify my psychical abilities a lot...

Okay what can I pull from all that?...Not a lot...other then don't use too much power.

"Hmm...Oh wait! That's actually it! Don't use too much power! It's kinda like Goku's Kaioken!" I then take a position and close my eyes.

"Okay okay...All Might said with my state now...5% power is probably all I can handle for now until I get more training and experience with it."

...So I'll do just that and not just through one arm for a quick attack! Through my WHOLE body. Okay Minoru..imagine a flame...a flame on a candle...imagine One for All is the flame and the candle is you...

"Imagine the flame growing stronger but not too strong to melt the candle...not too strong to break you..."I then channel a small portion of One for All through my whole body.

I feel a heat inside me...a warmth rather then a burning sensation then last time. I revile in it...

"Keep the flame strong...calm and steady... as the candle...hold the flame...maintain it...you are the conduit for it to keep burning..."I then feel that warmth over take my body...

As I open my eyes...I'm surrounded by a purple aura...and faint small crackles of purple static dance around me...I was almost there...time to bring it on home.

"Let the flame breath but do not let it grow too big...keep it low but alive! Here I go! One for All!"

With a mighty shout I bask fully in the 5% of One for All and completely let it flow forth like a river through out me. Red marks appears on my body as the power processed through my body and I felt a slight sting, but I wasn't gonna back down. That purple static then became violent and alive and the purple aura gained more life.

"Huff...huff..." I stand there radiating One for All's excess energy...

"I feel...pretty damn good right now...I felt like 5% wouldn't be much but...this feels intense! That or because I'm not use to feeling strong at all..."

Either way. Time to test this out.

"What to try out first?...I guess agility..."I then take a deep breath and crouch down preparing for a jump.

I make sure to keep focus of the energy surging through me. I then take another breath before launching off the ground...and shooting up 20 feet in the air! Jesus for 5% this is pretty freaking strong!

"WOOOOOOO!" I do a few spins and flips while in mid air then brace myself for the fall.

When I came back down I made small cracks in the ground when I landed. I didn't feel much pain...I was expecting it to hurt a bit more but no...hehe!

"This is freaking sweet! Okay okay speed!"I then take a running position.

I focus and steady my breathing...I then take off sprinting at breakneck speed! I was zipping across the ground like a speedster! This was awesome! I-

"AGH!"I then run right into a tree face first and fall on my ass.

I can feel the power up fade as I sat on the ground holding my nose in pain. I don't think I'm bleeding though...

"Agghhhh...damnit that hurt..." I groan standing up.

"AAAAnd the power shut off...though I'm not surprise. I kinda did break focus..."

Okay that can't happen...It'll be bad if I lose focus every time I get hit or slip up...

"Okay okay...think, think..." I surf my brain for anime and video game quotes that could give me an idea...

Ah! Okay inner focus...okay Minoru...imagine a barrier around the flame...the barrier is your focus...you have to keep it strong to keep the wind-aka-distractions from blowing it out...block it out...block out distractions...block out the wind...

"Let's try that again...protect the flame Minoru...your focus is the barrier..." I then channel that 5% power again a bit faster then the first time.

"Okay, let's run that back!"I then look at the tree ran into...there was a bit of a crack in it...was that from me hitting it?

"Hmm...Okay let's try strength." I then clench my right fist and steady my breathing once again.

My breathing is an important part to my focus...I then reel my arm back. I then thrust my fist forward and slam it into the tree in front of me...and a massive crack in the tree, caving in a good bit of the bark. When I pull my fist back...there was an imprint of my fist in the caved in wood...

"Oh...EFF YES!"I then keep it up and send rapid fire punches at the tree caving in the bark even more with each hit until the tree toppled over.

"Now that is amazing. Super fast, super agility AND speed!" I smirk.

"At least now I have a more powerful quirk to rely on then Pop off..." I mean don't get me wrong it is a useful quirk if you use it right.

It's just sometimes it can be hard to set up is all. One for All will help me with that...and maybe now I can finally push HIS quirk outta my head...I'm never using it again. If dad was angry at mom for cheating that's fine...but he didn't have to abandoned me...so if he wants to forget me...forget him too...and his quirk...I THINK that's what it was...I dunno...Mom won't talk about it. A part of me wants to believe he had a just reason while another part wants to be mad at him for being a no show all my life...I don't know his face or his name.

Maybe it's just the bitterness...hell if I know. All I know is...I dunno how to feel about it...it makes me confused and lost and all just turns into frustration...then rage...

"Siiigh...Alright that's enough dwelling on that." I shake my head and get back on track.

"Let's try climbing next. I have experience there." Running from bullies oooor angry girls...

Who knew the fruits from my rotten luck and bad habits would actually contribute to something? I then take a breath and leap off the ground and grab onto a tree, I quickly kick off it and latch into another. I leap off again and reach out to grab a tree branch, however I miss it and fall. I quickly reach up and pop a sticky ball off my head and slam it down on a tree to stop the fall. I halt and dangle there from the tree.

"Phew...Pop off saves me again." I then let go and land safely onto the ground. All the while...I still kept control of One for All.

"All Might is gonna be so stocked about this! In fact..." I then quickly text All Might and ask him to meet me at the beach for a big surprise.

After he texted me back agreeing I quickly sped off still in the 5% cloak...hmm...I got it! I know what to call this! Full Cowl!

"Excelsior!" I then speed the rest of the way to the beach to meet up with All Might.

I was able to reach the beach in just 3 minutes. Jeez this technique will spare me a whole lot of time in future. However of course All Might was there first but not in his beef cake form. When I arrived I was still in Full Cowl and he seemed really surprised to see me.

"Mineta?..." All Might said in a baffled tone.

"Heya All Boss. Check it out! I call it Full Cowl! 5% of One for All surging through my body at once!"I then jump up and down super high and run in circling around at high speed to show it off.

"That's...incredible Mineta! You just got this power and you've already made such great progress!" He beamed with joy.

He then knelt down to me and put his hands on my shoulders smiling wider then ever.

"Mineta...I'll be completely honest with you. At first...I wasn't too sure about you." His smile dropped...and his toned hardened.

My heart kinda felt pricked after that but given our start up...I can't really blame him at all...had to tell me off a few times due to my antics...

"For a small bit...I felt like a made a mistake..." He hung his face down slightly not looking me in the eyes.

My heart REALLY sunk hearing that...but I kept my smile to be strong.

"BUT...I take that all back. I know I made the right choice. I know this now more then ever...me choosing YOU...was right." He looked at again in the eyes smiling with that big old grin of his.

"...Hehehe...Thanks All Boss...I'm gonna give it 150% from here on!~" I say pumping my fist.

"...Good my boy...good...come on. Let's go get something to eat my treat." He stood up.

"Hmmm...in the mood for Takoyaki." I hummed.

"Funny I was thinking the same."

"Say um...All Might?"

"Hm?"

"Remember when I told you my reasoning for wanting to be a hero?"

"Yes...you said it was so girls would think your cool?..."

I ducked my head a bit hearing it come from his mouth.

"Y-Yeah well...that's different now...I still want to be cool BUT...I'll become cool...to inspire other people who think they're losers to become cool themselves."

"Hmm...I think that's a fine goal." He smiled.

"R-Really?"

"Of course. It's always nice to inspire those without much confidence in themselves."

"...Awesome...hehehe...come on let's get going! This Full Cowl thing has got me STARVING!" I chuckle.

All Might let out a hardy laugh as we both walked off to get some food...I swear...I won't mess this up.

*With Izuku and Stain.*

Izuku's POV:

I know I told Stain that one night of vigil work was going to be it for but...i just had to try it again! I can't deny it felt good to do so...it felt good to dish out some street justice and...hehe...I really wanted some more quirks...I mean I AM going to UA! I should get as strong I could be!Yeah and if I'm going to be the world's greatest hero...I need to be powerful...it only makes sense right? Yeah this is for the future.

I chuckle was I walk toward some petty drug dealer who was backing up away from me...me and Stain had tracked down these shady drug peddlers to put an end to their deeds. We found them in this abandoned warehouse. There we're six of them...all with amazing quirks...one with Invisibility, one with a decoy clone, one with a damage reduction quirk, one with with flight, one with a water creature transformation...and one with a quirk much like Bakuguo's but with frost instead...I made them ALL mine...expect this one in front of me...the Frost Explosion thug...he still had fight left in him but he knew he was done.

I fiddle around with a steel marble in my hand and charge it with kinetic energy and flick it at him. It goes flying and when it connects it erupts in a green shock wave blowing him back and into a wall. I've gotten real good with the Kinetic energy manipulation quirk.

I then stroll up to the thug who was barely conscious. I then drain away his quirk and once again...that spine tingling pleasure went down my back again.

"That makes 10 Sensei! I feel so much stronger! Not only that we're making the bad guys fear more then heroes."

"Hmph...I see." He spoke sounding not too amused.

"If we keep on...I could become SO much powerful...no villain could ever stand up to me..." I smiled to myself and reviled in my new power...my right...this w-

I then stop mid sentence...what am I saying?

"...What am doing?...This...isn't me..." The boy's smiled faltered.

"What's not you?" Stain finally seemed eager to talk.

"THIS...what I'm saying...what I'm thinking...what...I'm doing...I'm slowly corrupting myself..." The boy was conflicted.

"...Sensei we have to stop this...no more vigil work...and no more me taking quirks to fill a greed and lying to myself to believe I'm just."

"I'm...slowly becoming something I'm not...a hero would never do these things..." His face and voice seeped with shame.

"I'm giving into this...hunger I feel inside...and I don't like it...if I keep going like this...I'll lose something every important to me..."

"...Good. Happy to see I was wrong." Stain smiled walking up.

"Huh?..."

"I did this to test you. I wanted to how strong this generation was when it came to fighting temptation. I knew you would feel that hunger...that greed...and I wanted to see if you had the will to overcome it and remember your true goal...and you have. I was getting worried for a moment. That all my time and effort put into you was for not but...I was wrong. You...once again have proven to me this generation is still salvageable."

I couldn't help but smile behind my mask...Sensei really was a stand up guy.

"So...I'll give this generation another chance. BUT you keep proving it's worth something and that the fakes of this society can change. Otherwise I will pick up where I left off."He gave a cold stare.

"R-Right sir...c-come on...let's leave these guys for the police...then um...maybe get some ramen together?"

"Hmmm...Not a bad idea, but your paying."

"Oh um...of course..."

"Kidding. Let's go." He patted my shoulder smirked and walked out the warehouse.

I chuckled and followed close behind.

"I promise Sensei. I won't let you down. I'm gonna be a hero...a true hero..."

"I don't doubt it. You just have that spark in you."

"Hehehe...I feel that spark too."

"Good. Let it guide you."

"I will...master..."

The power I have now is more then enough to start the true steps of my journey...I've had to battle with temptation and fight back greed...I almost lost but...I found myself again. Jeez...it really is strong...the hunger...it's a bit scary really. However...I'm not alone. I have people who support me...and a teacher...a good teacher...to show me the way. The entrance exams will be here soon enough...time to make my big debut.

To be continued...

There we go. Chap 4 done. Feel free to leave a review, give me suggestion or other thoughts and so so. Have a bless day and more to come my dudes.
