Chapter 1: Foolio

When it came time to turn the alarm clock off. Izuku wanted to just turn it off but his alarm proved to be the test of the day. It seemed to get louder when he turned over to smash the button. "I'm late…"

Against the muscles in his body he got up and out of bed.

"Don't forget your lunch this morning." His mother said as came downstairs. "In the first lunch back with the purple ribbon, you have hot dogs, rice, a piece of squid, and two egg sandwiches. In the box with the yellow ribbon, you have egg, rice, two waffles, and a cup of strawberries. That is breakfast. Now in the last box, you have rice with black beans, kimchi, a bell stuffed pepper and a fruit roll up. I didn't know what else to put in it and I'm late for work."

Izuku blinked, "Why three lunches?"

"Yesterday one of the heroes blasted a hole in the company building. So, in case I never return. I want you to eat."

"We literally live next to a McDonalds."

"McDonalds don't pay bills in this house. Until you get registered, you are broke. I might die. We don't know what tomorrow brings." she muttered to herself as she walk towards the doo complaining. "Goddamn Chiharu broke her damn ankle. Only God can save us."

Izuku left home worried but perfectly fine knowing his other was a gifted woman and his dad was part of Trailblazer Co. With that in his head, he was sure his mother would last the day. He wasn't going to school but rather he was taking a small test to even get in Genkai for Heroes and Villains.

When he got to the Rhino Building located on Kātisu Boulevard. The building held at least 150 people and a man stood in his uniform which consisted of dirty underwear, a blue cape, goggles, and a pair of dark blue sleeves. "NEXT!" yelled the desk clerk. Izuku should have woke up early but gave himself the benefit of doubt. He stood on the side of the window and waited to ask. "My name is Hikawa Tasasugi, aka Cancel Raptor Mega Vibe and I have to renew my certificate today." told the man. "Your name is what?" the female clark cocked a brow."

"Hikawa Tasasugi, aka Cancel Raptor Mega Vibe; also known as The Rapor from the East, aka The MC Vibe or Cancel the Raptor, plus CRM. Formerly known as Young Cup."

The clerk pointed her pen through the window. "You come in here twice a week."

"I need my certificate." he said. "You are wanted for aggravated assult. You had your lincese revoked. I'm not starting business with you."

"Maybe you didn't understand." he cleared his throat. "My name is Hikawa Tasasugi, aka Cancel Raptor Mega Vibe; also known as The Rapor from the East, aka The MC Vibe or Cancel the Raptor, plus CRM. Formerly known as Young Cup."

"Get the hell out of here!" the clerk smacked the window. "You don't understand. I am Hikawa Tasasugi, aka Cancel Raptor Mega Vibe; also known as The Rapor from the East, aka The MC Vibe or Cancel the Raptor, plus CRM. Formerly known as Young Cup. And people need me!"

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE I GET THE POLICE!"

Hikawa grimaced hard and walked away. He turned jabbed his finger forward in his costume with dinosaur legs and a piece of bulletproof vest. "I will never save you!"

Izuku was baffled to tears but held his composure. He knock on the window, "Hey! I came in late, my name is Izuku Midoriya."

The woman was already heated from dealing with bullshit. "Izuku?"

"Yeah…"

She sighed and grabbed a stack full of papers. "You was suppose to be here 40 minutes ago."

"Sorry…" he would have to return in the morning. He got lazy and didn't even change pants, Didn't comb his hair, Didn't brush his teeth. He had three fucking lunch boxes. He watched the woman flip through some papers before grabbing the phone beside her and calling someone. "Yes, this is Chaquille from the front desk and I wanted to ask if Mr. Chīzu was letting in last test." she scratched her eyebrow. "Ok. What time?"

He rolled his eyes. "Thank you." she hung up the phone and spoke to Izuku. "You can take the 4 o'clock class. I suggest you stay in here and you can take the second class. It only has about 15 testers."

He smiled. "Cool. Thank you.

4:00 rolled around and 4:00 became 4:05 which turned into 4: 11. By that time he was allowed to take the test. He sat in a solid color room with 15 other people out of uniform or in. And then he saw a dog in the chair next to him. He challenged himself, "Are you a student?"

The dog smiled big, showing full teeth. "Right…" he trailed off. "Good afternoon, evening--Good day! My name is Chīzu Kazunari and I used to be Midnight Hawk! I worked alongside All Might before I suffered a very painful injury that almost costed my life. And that brings me to a very powerful conclusion, that today can be your last. Take this test very seriously. Put your passion into it. Think about what you really need in this world. Superheroes can die, at any time of the month. We put our lives on the line and that is what you wanted to do today. You put your time into today, to just fail. If not, prove me wrong." he passed out the test. "You have an hour and twenty minutes for 35 questions."

Izuku looked at the test and did the smartest thing. He worked backwards. "There are birds in a tree and the tree is on fire what do you do?"

He paused and unconsciously looked at the dog, sitting fully in his seat as a werewolf with a gold chain around his neck. And he suddenly thought to himself as he watched the werewolf scribble with speed. "What if I don't pass?"

He read the last question again. "There are birds in a tree and the tree is on fire. What do you do?"

"Get water?" he looked at the ceiling. His power circled around the thought he could stop anything from happening. It wasn't like that in real life. In his head, he'd make the rain stop. Or save people from a car crash. He couldn't even get his clock to shut up.

A: Get a bucket of water

B: Wait for a strong breeze

C: Resue the birds

D. Chop the tree down

A logical answer would be water. And he thought about his power. What if the pencil suddenly just stopped writing? Could he make fire just stop? Fire… stop burning. He couldn't even stop his own headaches. Or a fart.

He picked C.

Izuku finished the test back to front and in the middle. He felt confident as he approached Midnight Hawk at his desk. "Are you done?" he took the paper and laid it at the corner of his desk. "You can expect result mailed to you by next month. If not give us a call or go online to www.WannaBeBusiness.net and you can see your test scores. But again, if you don't get anything, you didn't make it and that means--" People were determined to make others feel bad about anything. Izuku was certain that people were horrible and judged others based on the color of their socks. Why were white socks so common? It didn't matter because last night he wore his rainbow socks and he still had them on. With that in mind, this was a good day.

At night, Izuku watched the news with a bowl of popcorn. He saw All Might on television, as he usually was. "All Might, what happened to the Top of the Building?"

"Well, no job is too much for All Might but this was out of the ordinary. This villain… this…"

"All Might, you seem bothered."

"Uh…" he shook off the tension. "This was a human. Just a normal civilian with evil in his heart. What he wanted was jewerly in a store and the kept a promising necklace." The more Izuku looked at the hero, he saw sweat. "What was so scary?" he mumbled. His head turned to the front door and soon his mother came in with her fizzed. "Deku, honey, get a bag of ice." She slumped over to the couch while her son gave her a bag of ice. She put the bag on her head. "I hate living here." she whined. "Where's dad?"

She took a deep breath. "He's fine…" she sniffed. "Everyday, I think your father might die. But All Might took care of it and then--" he shook his head. "He…"

"Mom, what's wrong?" he sat next to her. "I can't believe how stupid he is…" she sniffed. "What happened?"

"He fell down the stairs when the blast happened. I escaped but then he was knocked in the head with a desk from explosion."

"Mama, that's serious!"

"I know my husband. He's stupid for not having his helmet!" she wiped her tears. "He's in the hospital with a minor concussion." She held her head. "I just hate him so much."

"Is this about the helmet?"

"That's what helmets are for…" she rolled her eyes. "How was the test?"

"I think I did ok…"

"Well, if you don't hear back then you can always walk in." she said. "What's that mean?" he raised a brow. "It means, go to the school and pose."

"I can't do that."

"Well, rent is 30 a month. I make 180 and your father gets check. So together that's 810 dollars. Then you have worry about deductibles; because heroes will blow up anything except the sun if it was closer." she stared at her son. "Did I tell you we're losing the house?"

He smirked. "Goodnight mom."

"What the fuck--Deku, I'm serious!"

"Goodnight--"

"NO GODDAMN IT, WE ARE LITERALLY LOSING THE FUCKING HOUSE!"

As Izuku faced the steps he turned around. She huffed, "We don't live here!"

"How?"

"We are broke!" she stated. "You see what's on tv. Your father is in the hospital. That's a bill. I can't work on that myself. Deku, I have got to find you a scholarship so you get a free ride. We don't live here."

"When did this happen?" he furrowed. "I gave you three lunches."

"So you mean, that's all the food we had?"

"Kind of…" She sat on the couch. She almost looked as if she wanted to tear up. "I'm quirkless. I don't have any ambience. If I did work, if I was a hero. That would get us money."

"Mama…"

"You're father and I haven't been on the best of terms so… we sold the house to some people and I didn't check the background."

"Are they villains?" he went back to the couch. "You sold the house to villains."

His mother's lips contorted. "We are broke…"

"Who!"

She blinked her eyes, releasing some water. "Um, The Denim Banner."

"What does dad know about it--Like," he shook his hands with anxiety running through his body. "Does he know?"

"Why do you think he's in the hospital? Deku, are you listening?" she glared. "You are telling me villains own the house? Mom, how could you be so stupid!"

"I HATE HIM!"

He stepped back. "I hate him! That's why, I just--" She squeezed her eyes shut. "I found a letter. Do you know who Kusakabe is?"

"Ms. Akinobu?"

"Oh my God…" she rubbed her forehead. His mother boosted out the sofa and hurried upstairs. This wasn't like he could stay at grandma's house. Well, now he had something to do while he waited on the mail. Or…

Izuku ran upstairs to his mother's locked door, "Mama!"
