Chapter 1 - Training and the Incident

Izuku is currently in his house, near to Kacchan's house.

As he steps in, he proceeds to his room to take a rest for a few hours before continuing his daily training.

After the loss of his mother, Inko Midoriya, whose Quirk is attracting small objects to her, he diligently trained well to improve his fighting skills.

Even though he doesn't have a Quirk, he won't falter about saving citizens from villains that'll involve them in danger.

Which is why he needed to train his body. The current condition of his physical look? Well, after five years of his training, his muscles are almost ripped and close to showing six-pack of abs.

When he gets old, he'll be more than just Deku, he is Deku who can do it at all cost.

After three hours of rest, he checked the clock and it's 5:00 PM. Then he changes from usual outfit to training outfit and checked his bag for what he needs before going out to Dagobah Municipal Beach, where he trains to move and carry heavy objects.

Along the way, he bumped into a man in his late thirties, saying something loud enough for him to hear.

"Everyone is always talking about 'Heroes this' and 'Heroes that'. It must be really great to have a top tier Quirk."

Those words from the man, Izuku can't blame him, but he's also jealous of how many people have Quirks and calling them heroes. From his perspective point of view, heroes are blinded, due to fame and money. They should be busy all the time because that's how true heroes are.

Now? It's all about fame, money, and how a hero's popularity is more important than the safety of others. Corrupted by their selfishness with their Quirk.

The only true hero that still lives is All Might. Even though Deku 'used' to be a fan of All Might, he still views him as a hero to all.

Although he didn't like what All Might said because of how Quirkless people can't become heroes, but he still sees him as a hero who accepts the burden of how he tried to save people's life.

Thinking about it, he realized he reached his destination. The first thing he does is to push or carry heavy objects like a refrigerator or truck tires that can increase his strength and endurance.

He did some push-ups and sit-ups after that. Then he takes a ten-minute break and decided to set up a punching bag after the break ends.

Every punch, a flashback of memories came to him. About how he really admired All Might and wanted to be like him.

Then the time where he learned that he is Quirkless, the start of Katsuki Bakugo's bully and the loss of his parents.

Most of the memories are bullying. Every time Kacchan and his friends came to bully him, Izuku growled in anger.

His punches are getting stronger from reminiscing his childhood years of being bullied.

After a few hard punches, the punching bag fell and a hole was made from Izuku's fists.

"(Looks like I overdid it again.)" He thought in his head as he carried the damaged punching bag and throws it at nearby large garbage.

He went to a nearby bench and sat down for a few seconds and closed his eyes, to remember the bullying from Kacchan and his lackeys.

He took a deep breath and calmed down after looking at the sunset. He looks at his cell phone and saw what time is it.

"It's almost 7:00 PM. I guess I should take two laps or 4, then I can go home." He muttered to himself as he put down his cell phone and look at his sore hands.

It's sore, but not really, or else he'll never continue to train and have muscle craps around his body. After recovering for a few minutes, he jogs, ran back and forth, and finished four laps just like he said to do as he inhales the air.

==Time Skip==

Already 7:00 PM and it's time for him to change clothes, drink water and walk back home.

As he was walking towards his home, a thief ran out of nowhere and stole the old lady's purse.

Of course, he knew that the heroes are never alert to a simple case. The old lady screams for help and he accepted the call as he said to her, "Don't worry, grandmother. I'll get him."

"No. It's too dangerous for a kid like you. You're gonna get killed." The old lady said, concerning for the boy's life that it will be taken by a mere thief. Of course, a thief always holds a knife.

"Dangerous or not," He dropped the training bag beside her. "A hero always answers the call for help."

He ran towards the escaping thief, leaving the surprised old lady. Thieves are specialized in high speed and agility to avoid or jump over certain objects in a mere second. Izuku, despite he's training for the past five years, was no match for him.

The green-haired boy is really desperate to hand over the thief to the police, but as he stared at the running thief, who is running faster than him, Izuku doesn't want to give up. Even though he's in a disadvantaged state, he can say that he got the eyes that say 'I won't give up'.

Then, something blooms inside Izuku's body as he gets faster and faster, just the same speed as the running thief.

What happened? Well, Izuku really had the urge to catch the thief red-handed and he will catch him, no matter what. That urge to catch the thief activated something he doesn't know.

Izuku finally caught up to the thief and successfully knock him down and call a nearby police department. Waiting for the arrival, he puts the thief's hands behind him while grabbing the old lady's purse. Soon the police crew arrived and handcuffed the robber and a policeman scolded Izuku for his reckless action against a wanted criminal.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I can't help it. Seeing someone in danger or cases like stealing is something I cannot allow the thieves to get what they want." Izuku said, defending himself while looking at the policeman with a blank look on his face.

The said person sighed and shook his head before saying, "Next time, leave this to the professionals, okay?" Izuku nodded, although, on the inside, Izuku is really irritated about how the policeman said about leaving it to the professionals.

Why would they call themselves professionals if they can't even find some villain's hideout? Without hesitation, Izuku said, "I should go back. The grandmother is very worried about her money."

The policeman nodded and look at the direction where Izuku went to retrieve the stolen purse.

==Time Skip==

"Thank you, young man." The old woman gratefully thanked Izuku as she received the stolen wallet from the thief, but was caught by Izuku and the police.

"You're welcome. It is my goal to help someone after all." Izuku said, returning the smile, but only a small one.

Seeing his smile, the old woman saw something in him as she stared at him for a few minutes. "Grandmother?" He asked.

"You have those eyes." She chuckled. "Ones I haven't seen in many people, or heroes, for that matter."

When she said that, the boy was confused.

As if Izuku was about to question her, she replied, "I'm sorry, sonny. I still remember the years when heroes are always there to save people's life. Now? heroes are corrupted and flawed from fame and money. The only living person who has the same attitude as the past heroes... is none other than All Might. Then I saw your eyes. Eyes of determination, the kind heart of a person's true happiness and most of all, the eyes of a true hero."

It brought Izuku in tears. For once in his whole life until now, nobody compliments him. Right now, no words describe the tears that are coming out of his heart. A warm smile cracked the lady's face before she said, "You should go home now, sonny. Even you did that, the night's dangerous for youngsters like you."

"O-Okay." Izuku, despite sobbing and tried to stop the tears, managed to follow the lady's instructions but not before he engulfed her in a hug.

What she said awhile ago, it meant everything for him.

"Thank you," Izuku replied those words over and over again while the old lady smile while giving comfort to the boy's state. It took more than a moment for Izuku to regain his composure. With puffy eyes, he waved goodbye and head home.

==Time Skip==

He finally reached his house, but tears are coming out of his eyes again. But that's not the tears of sadness, it's the tears of joy. He hadn't felt this for a long time after the bullying and the loss of his parents.

"Eyes of determination, the kind heart of a person's true happiness and most of all... the eyes of a true hero."

Those are the words replaying in Izuku's mind.

For the first time in his life, he went back home with a smile on his face, knowing that he helps a citizen and he felt what heroes or policemen do when it comes to getting a snatcher, killer, murderer and so much more.

That old lady awhile ago, described him as one of the remaining selfless heroes, even though he's still a child or a teenager.

Landing on the bed, he can't stop thinking about the event that took place awhile ago.

After a few moments of staring at the ceiling, he closed his eyes and thought, "(Mom, Dad, I know it's a reckless thing to do, but take a look at it a while ago. I became a hero to a citizen. I know that there are people in the same situation as policemen chasing the robber, thief and so much more. I know you're all not with me, but I thank you all for giving birth to me. Dad, I still remember what Mom said to you and I won't break the promise of becoming a true hero.)" He thought to himself, but he is not done yet.

"(Mom, today you're not with me, but every day... you're always by my side to motivate me in desperate times and I'm really grateful for loving, caring parents like you two. Please don't leave me alone by myself. I'm still learning, so... please guide me until I fulfill my dream to become a hero. I love you all.)"

After a few seconds, his eyes grew heavy and went to sleep...

With a smile on his face.
