On the journey to become a hero, Y/N discovered the danger that heroes face to protect the citizens from villains on daily basis; and she was ready to face it all. But what she wasn't ready to face were the feelings that began to blossom for a certain blond - a blond full of pride and rage.

Training

After the incident, Midoriya's whole behavior changed in a strange way. But Y/N dismissed the thought and waited for him to open up himself. It took him some time, but Midoriya never failed to talk about the problems he faced. She couldn't suggest solutions for everything but she was there to listen to him and it was enough for Midoriya. He just wanted a friend who would listen to him without looking at him in pity and believed in him. That was the difference between all the people that surrounded him. He considered Y/N a good friend because she didn't treat her differently like everyone did. She talked to him in the same way she did to everyone - without pitying or bullying him.

Two days later, after getting minimum texts from Midoriya, she wished him a good morning and went out to train herself. She first started with some yoga and stretches because with the kind of quirk she had, flexibility was a huge advantage. She was going to start on her water quirk when she heard a voice - a familiar voice.

"Hey hey hey it's pretty comfy up on this fridge. How are you doing down there?" Y/N heard a man talk. Ofcourse she knew the voice, everyone can recognize it. It was All Might - the number one hero. "People move this everyday you know. And most of them don't even have super strength."

"Well yeah, there's an extra 600 pound with you sitting on top of it." Another voice said. Y/N can recognize this voice too. She heard this voice everyday, but recently she didn't get to hear it much. It was Midoriya. The fact that he was talking so casually with All Might was a huge shock to Y/N. She knew how much of a fanboy Midoriya is and if he got to meet his idol, he wouldn't stop rambling. She continued hearing the rest of the conversation.

"Nah, I've lost weight. I'm 560 pounds now. In this form atleast." All Might said.

"Great much better. Why are we dragging trash across the beach anyway." Midoriya said.

"Take a look at yourself. You're not ready for my power." All Might said as Y/N heard shutter sounds.

Y/N wasn't able to keep herself quiet as soon as she heard that statement. In a state of confusion and shock, she stumbled back hitting on a piece of garbage leading to the whole pile falling down with it.

Shit.

She was ready to run away, but got busted immediately. All Might was standing right behind her with fierce eyes and his usual smile.

"How much did you hear?" He asked with a calm voice.

"Some of it. I did hear your...power.." Y/N said feeling embarrassed for getting caught.

"I know that voice." Y/N heard Midoriya say as he ran towards their spot, "Y/N?! What are you doing here!"

".....training." Y/N said looking down.

"So this was your spot?! Why didn't you ever tell me?" Midoriya asked.

"I don't think you get to ask me questions after ignoring my presence for two days straight. I need an explanation." She said frowning.

"Uh.." Midoriya looked at All Might nervously, "She's a really good friend of mine. And I trust her very much. You...you can trust her too."

".....very well. Since young Midoriya trusts you, so do I." All Might said.

All Might then explained everything to Y/N - from top to bottom while she sat there and heard him attentively. In short, All Might's quirk can be passed down and he has selected Midoriya as his successor. His power goes in the name of 'One for All'.

"Okay, I get it now. Um," Y/N said looking at All Might hesitantly, "Uh..can I..train for my strength too? I surely do yoga for flexibility but I lack in strength which is not good for combat at a close range."

"Ha ha ha! Sure young Y/N! You can train under my care from now on!" All Might said.

Sure, this was an unexpected but happy beginning to their training. But for the following 10 months, Y/N and Midoriya was now under extreme level of training and diet.

[ TIME SKIP ]

It was around 8:40 a.m. when the Y/N saw Midoriya finally arrive at U.A. High Entrance Exam location. She knew Midoriya and All Might needed some time for themselves before the entrance exam, so she didn't go to the beach. Apart from that she also needed energy to fight in the exam.

"I made it just in time." Midoriya said walking up to her, "I was so worried about missing the exam that I didn't get time to test the power."

"Didn't All Might already give it to you?" Y/N asked.

"No, he gave me this morning. He gave me his hair to eat. Apparently to gain his power, I needed his DNA. I might have swallowed the hair but I don't feel anything different yet." Midoriya explained.

"Stupid Deku." Both of them heard an angry voice say, "Get out of my way now before I set you on fire."

"Your fire won't affect me though blond head." Y/N said back as she observed Bakugou. His appearance was the same except that he was wearing a scarf. "Cute scarf Bakugou."

"Tch, shut up adopted freak." He said walking towards the building.

"It's weird to see him not bullying you." Y/N said.

"Yeah, ever since that day Kacchan has been going easy on me." Midoriya sighed in relief.

Midoriya looked deep in thought as they both walked in. Except that he was about to do slam his face on the ground when suddenly he got stopped and started floating in the air.

"Are you okay?" A girl said.

"What happened?" Y/N asked turning back.

"I stopped you from falling with my quirk. I'm sorry I didn't ask first. But I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you." The girl said smiling.

"Well you're clumsy as ever. Don't fall down in the practical test." Y/N said.

"Oh you guys are friends?" The girl asked.

"Yeah we are school buddies. Both of us wanted to join U.A. so here we are." Y/N said, smiling.

"Oh. But isn't this all way nerve-wracking? Well, I guess I'll see you inside. Bye!" The girl proceeded to leave.

Y/N looked at Midoriya and quite expectedly, he was blushing.

"Holy wolly, I just talked to girl!" Midoriya exclaimed blushing.

"Technically, you didn't. And you talk to me as well. What am I then? A tree?" Y/N said huffing.

Inside U.A. Entrance Exam Orientation, Present Mic explained how the Entrance Exam worked, which begins with a practical test and then afterwards a written test. Their goal in the practical test is to dispatch as many villains (which are actually robots) as they can to earn a high score.

They sat according to their examinee numbers - Y/N was after Midoriya. Although their numbers were one after the other, they were assigned different battle centres - Bakugou got A, Midoriya got B and Y/N got C.

"They're splitting us up so that we can't work with any of our friends." Bakugou said while Midoriya tried to get a peek at his card, "Get your eyes off my card Deku. Damn, I was really looking forward to crushing you.

"Yeah keep talking like that and you'll become a great hero." Y/N said.

"You really think you can get into U.A. with your bare minimum training?" Bakugou said smirking.

"You'll be surprised darling." Y/N said grinning, "Good luck." She left the hall wishing Midoriya leaving a confused Bakugou behind.

He was caught off guard. Bakugou knew she used 'darling' in a mocking tone ofcourse, but he didn't expect her to be this open and friendly. He decided to concentrate on the practical test instead.
