Chapter 1

Midoriya Izuku was one of many children who had grown up in awe of the heroes who protected them from villains. People like the Flame Hero Endeavour, the Fibre Hero Best Jeanist, the Chivalrous Hero Crimson Riot, and so many others. Standing at the top of the pyramid, at the very pinnacle, was the Number One Pro Hero, All Might.

Quirks were almost universal in the modern day society. Over 80% of the world's population possessed a Quirk of some description, whether it was a weak and or minor one like turning a person's skin green or making their fingers act like lighters, to those powerful ones that could reshape the world around them like controlling the various elements or whatever powerful Quirk All Might possessed. Quirks were mainly divided into three main categories Emitters, Transformation, and Mutation.

Izuku really didn't care what kind of Quirk he activated, only that he got one

His fourth birthday had come and gone and nothing had happened. It had been almost six months since then and Izuku was becoming worried, as was his mother, Inko. To be one of the 20% of the population without a Quirk, a so-called 'Quirkless' individual, was to be a victim of discrimination and disdain, something that the older Midoriya wouldn't wish on anyone, let alone her only child.

'Please! Give my son a Quirk!' she prayed every night as the six-month deadline approached. It was still possible for a child to awaken their Quirk up to six months after their fourth birthday, but almost impossible afterwards. The rare instances were for those who had Quirks too powerful for their young bodies to withstand, which had a unique Quirk Factor that could be detected with a blood test.

'Please, give him a Quirk, not for my sake, but for his! It would break my boy if he can't get a Quirk!' Midoriya Inko begged whatever power existed that controlled Quirks. 'Please...please!'

Whether it was from such sincere and desperate prayer from a mother who loved her son with every ounce of her being, or just the vagaries of chance, but the very day before six months had passed after Izuku's birthday, he awoke his own Quirk.

Playground, Dantouin Preschool, Musutafu City

Izuku raced across the playground, with only the thought of escape in mind. His best friend, Bakugō 'Kacchan' Katsuki, had always been a very…volatile person. For as long as Izuku had known him, which had been pretty much their entire lives; Kacchan had always been the first to brag, to argue, and to start a fight. And ever since he was the first in their class to awaken his Quirk [Explosion] several months ago, those negative traits had only started to get worse

[Explosion] was a very powerful Quirk, with a lot of potential in it, which had led a lot of people, both staff and students, to praise Katsuki for it. This had led to the boy getting prideful, to the point that the young child had started to develop a superiority complex.

Izuku's treatment, on the other hand, had only begun to spiral downward with each week after his four birthday passed and he failed to awaken his Quirk. The teachers had started to ignore him and he had become the favourite 'test subject' (read: victim) of Katsuki's increasingly violent personality and actions, the rest of their classmates slowly starting to follow his lead.

For the record, Izuku would like to let it be known that being hit by a nitroglycerin-based explosion, even one that had even less strength than a firecracker in strength, hurt.

”DEKU!” Kacchan yelled from behind him. ”Get your a_s_s back here!”

Peeking over his shoulder, Izuku paled as he saw Kacchan with his two cronies Tsubasa Hiei, who possessed the [Devil Wing] Quirk, and Yubisaki Nori, who possessed the Quirk [Finger Wh_i_p_s]. The three of them possessed the strongest Quirks at Dantouin Preschool, with Katsuki as their unquestioned leader.

Squeaking as he skidded to a halt at the boundary wall of the playground, Izuku gulped and turned around to face the three bullies bearing down on him. Even though the last six months had featured Kacchan as a tormentor, Izuku still regarded him as a friend, so it was very hard to see him and apply the word 'bully' to him.

Feeling his heart start to beat faster as the three boys approached him, the green-haired boy forced himself to breath in a regular pattern to slow it down. For whatever reason, it always helped calm him down to do that. Something felt different though...as if his breaths were carrying something more this time, something warm and energizing.

”Finally out of places to run, Deku?” Bakugō sneered. ”I need to keep testing my Quirk so it can get as strong as possible, so stay f_u_c_k_i_n_g still!”

”Quirkless loser!” Tsubasa sneered. The boy was slightly overweight, but the two wings of his Mutation Quirk let him keep aloft with ease regardless.

Frustration bubbled up within Izuku as he tensed himself, waiting for his old friend to start the inevitable beating. He was resigned to this going on, again, with no interference from the staff. They valued someone with a possible hero-level Quirk far more than someone who was almost certainly Quirkless.

'Even if it isn't fair, complaining to people who won't even listen won't change a thing. I need to accept that and move on.' Izuku wrenched himself away from his spiralling train of thought with a mental sigh. Even if he couldn't do anything to fight back, he could at least stand firm and take his beating with dignity. Focusing on his breathing, he envisioned all the anger, sadness, frustration, and other negative motions flowing out with his next breath

With a mental 'click', Izuku's mind and body fell into the harmony that was needed for his power to activate.

With Bakugō

As he raised one hand to attack his former friend and current punching bag, Bakugō Katsuki froze as Izuku closed his eyes, let out a long, drawn-out breath before his body exploded with a golden-yellow light from the tips of his puffy green hair to the soles of his favourite red sneakers.

”B-Bakugō...is...is that...?!” Fat Wings asked in disbelief.

”...a Quirk?!” Finger Features finished shakily.

'No f_u_c_kin' way...literally one f_u_c_k_i_n_g day before the absolute limit that he could gain a Quirk and the little shit actually awoke one!' the blond boy thought in a mixture of fury and disbelief. All the a_d_u_l_ts said that Deku was nothing, a Quirkless nobody that wasn't worth the trouble of defending. Someone who Katsuki could use to get stronger without consequence.

'Shitty Deku...you're supposed to be nothing more than a pebble!' Katsuki's shock quickly dissolved as fury mounted into rage as he watched Deku openly defy the fate he and the others had set for him.

Deku's eyes cracked open after a moment, looking nervously around, before they suddenly shot open as he noticed the shimmering golden aura that was dancing across his body. His eyes started darting across him body, taking in every inch of his body that he could, an impossibly wide and happy smile slowly spreading across his face as if he was just realizing what was happening

Katsuki felt his rage reach its peak when he saw that stupid smile. His fury at its crescendo (and forcefully burying the slight shame and fear he felt) and exploded as he roared out, charging toward the green-haired dweeb. He would show that worthless Deku that, Quirkless or not, he was always going to be a little f_u_c_k_i_n_g pebble before him!

Instead, Deku looked up, smile faltering as a panicked look entered his eyes, and threw a sloppy punch at Katsuki, coincidentally intersecting the other boy's right-handed blow. As soon as the other boy's hand came within range, Katsuki let off as large an explosion as he thought he could get away with, the light illuminating Katsuki's face sinisterly.

Just before the explosion reached Deku's arm though, the golden light around the shitty f_u_c_k seemed to glow brighter and wrap protectively around his arm, letting it pass through the explosion almost without any damage! More than that, Deku's fist bypassed his wide swing and slammed straight into Katsuki's nose!

(When he looked it up later, the closest that Katsuki could find to that type of move in any martial arts was referred to as a 'cross counter', a particularly devastating move from Boxing.)

Falling back a couple of steps with a yell of pain, the [Explosion] Quirk user covered his nose and glared at an apparently frozen and wide-eyed Izuku, who was staring at his undamaged arm in awe.

”Deku...!” Katsuki growled in a rising fury.

In a fortunate turn of events for Izuku, one of the staff had witnessed the confrontation and now that it was between two boys with active Quirks rather than a Quirk-user and a Quirkless boy, he quickly intervene and got the two separated while he had their parents called.

Later

Principal's Office, Dantouin Preschool

”What did my brat do now?” Bakugō Mitsuki asked in a resigned tone of voice. She was a pretty woman and it was clear that her son had taken after her, the two sharing several facial features along with their spiky, blond hair and sharp red eyes. She alternated between glaring at her mulish son and looking quizzically at Izuku, who looked both amazed and guilty.

”And what does it have to do with my Izuku?” Midoriya Inko asked as she cuddled her boy. Tall and slim overall, albeit with a small bit of pudge gained recently from stress-eating in worry for her son, it was clear that, just like the Bakugōs, son had taken after mother in this case with their soft features, bright green eyes and dark green hair.

”Ah...” the Principal of the preschool, an overweight man with a weak Mutation-type Quirk called [Imp Tail], was at a bit of a loss for words. He wasn't exactly prepared to say to the women, 'Oh, a bullying victim we were content to ignore, as the bully was a powerful Quirk holder, suddenly awoke to his Quirk and fought back.'

He didn't want to lose his job!

Unfortunately for him, the Vice-Principal was slightly more moral and unafraid of retribution and explained the entire sorry story to the two mothers as his boss sat frozen with indecision. The look of righteous maternal fury rose in Inko, just as anger and disappointment in her son rose in Mitsuki.

”BRAT!” the blond mother shouted. ”What the living hell were you thinking!? Inko, I am so sorry; I had no clue this brat was hurting 'Zuku!”

”You aren't to blame, Mitsu.” Inko's voice trembled with anger. ”This school, however, is! I am withdrawing my son from here as of now! How dare you treat my boy like this?! You are clearly too incompetent to be trusted to prevent this from happening again!”

”I'm withdrawing Katsuki as well.” Mitsuki decided to twist the knife in the paling Principal's side. ”Clearly, you people don't know how to prevent an ego trip from going out of control. As for you, little brat, you are going to have therapy sessions until you learn how to be a decent human being! Having a strong Quirk does NOT give you the right to treat ANYONE like you did to Izuku, even less so considering he's supposed to be your friend!”

Katsuki would have shouted back indignantly, but the death glare his mother was sending at him made him shut up. He was slowly beginning to realise that he had really pushed things too far and one of the few people whose reactions he honestly feared was mad at him.
