Aizawa's conclusion

Bullet was brought to an apartment and the man let him go. Bullet looked at him and the man said "I'm Aizawa." Bullet attacked him again but Aizawa put him down in an instant, having already prepared for such a thing.

He took off Bullet's mask, and Bullet changed completely again, grabbing for the mask, full of fear, "Ah! Ah! Mask!" Aizawa narrowed his eyes and handed him the mask, watching Bullet calm down in an instant.

He frowned slightly, muttering "Dual personalities… Troublesome." Bullet stuttered while backing off, "Bullet…" and touching the bullet necklace. Aizawa looked at him before sitting down as he said slowly "You want to be a hero?"

Bullet rubbed the mask with his fingers and nodded, Aizawa pointed out, "You don't have a Quirk, right?" Bullet looked down in shame and nodded softly. Aizawa looked at him and asked "Do you really want to be a hero? You can be a police officer-" Bullet held the mask and shouted "Hero! No Police!"

Aizawa looked at Bullet and thought to himself, both personalities want to be heroes but the masked one is the fighter… This one seems to be shy and scared but still has a bit of backbone when questioned on his dreams…

Aizawa sat down and looked at Bullet with a slight frown, crossing his arms. Of course, the boy could be a Hero… Aizawa himself was a Pro Hero and his Quirk was only the erasure of other Quirks… He trained for a long time to fight Villains and he was pretty good at it, he never really fell into a disadvantage in terms of fighting skills…

Aizawa questioned Bullet, coming to find out that Bullet was not great at speaking or understanding. Drawing seemed to work better.

He found out the rough details of Bullet's life. His parents tossed him into an alley when they found out he was Quirkless, he survived on his own for 10 years, his favorite 'Hero' was Knuckleduster the vigilante, he received his name from Lady Nagant…

Aizawa held his forehead and frowned to himself, thinking about what to do… If he let Bullet back onto the streets, he would simply continue to be a Vigilante or worse, become a Villain.

Either way, he would go to jail, or even worse, die.

He had seen Bullet rush in to save the boy from that Mudman, saving someone but sacrificing himself instead. It was the same with the girl he was protecting. He gave himself up for her safety, thinking he was going to jail for it.

But he didn't hesitate!

Aizawa looked at Bullet and frowned slightly, there wasn't a precedent… but maybe… He suddenly said "Bullet, do you want to be a hero?" Bullet nodded and clenched his fists, Aizawa looked at him and continued "You'll have to go to school… It will be very hard. Maybe the hardest thing in your life… Are you sure?"

Bullet didn't really understand but nodded, he heard very hard and didn't hesitate! Whatever it takes to be a Hero!

Aizawa looked at Bullet before saying "There's 10 months until the Entrance Exam. You'll have to get stronger quickly. Are you ready?" Bullet held the mask and nodded, his thin body was lean but a bit emaciated, however it packed a strange strength!

Naturally, fighting every second of every day for food to survive… You will get stronger naturally, even if it didn't look like it.

The weak were devoured on the streets, only the strong survived!

And so, Aizawa trained Bullet intensively! Not only fighting but fighting and training with weights on all of his limbs! What's more is that Aizawa forced both Bullet and the Mask to fight at different times.

As he felt that the dual personality was a flaw for Bullet… Oddly enough, it resembled a Quirk in of itself. If he could only fight when he had the Mask on, then it was his biggest weakness! Aizawa tried to fix this weakness but it wasn't possible for now.

Aizawa bought Bullet new clothes and let him pick, he changed his diet to healthy meals and gave him a work out regimen to build lean muscle. However, to his surprise, Bullet went above and beyond, knowing that he needed to work harder than everyone else.

Knuckleduster had told him that for Quirkless guys like them, they had to work a hundred times harder than everyone else to be strong!

Bullet kept all of Knuckleduster's words at heart and trained until he collapsed everyday. He would train with knives and swords, work out his body, fight with Aizawa, everything!

Anything to be strong!

Slowly but surely, 10 months passed.

During these months, Bullet wanted to go find Himiko but Aizawa stopped him, telling him that the deal was that he stayed and she was safe. Bullet didn't have any other option, so he relented.

Every time he tried to escape, Aizawa brought him back immediately!

It was almost a ritual for Aizawa to catch him while he was escaping.

Other than this, Aizawa didn't have time to teach him how to read and write or even speak. The time was too tight and he figured that he would teach him at school.

While Bullet was training, Aizawa went to apply for a special recommendation for him. He pleaded his case but he was ruthlessly denied, first of all, it was UA; the most prestigious Hero School in the country. How could they have a Quirkless boy get a special recommendation?

Secondly, if he was really as special as Aizawa claimed then he would pass the Entrance Exam like everyone else with ease, right?

Aizawa was a bit upset but understood the harsh reality. As such, the only one Bullet could rely on was himself! He had to pass the Entrance Exam! However, Aizawa pulled a few strings and got Bullet to get a pass on the written exam!

Seeing as how he was basically illiterate, there was no way he would pass it in the first place, you know, Bullet couldn't even write his name! He only drew the bullet from his necklace.

Finally!

Today was the day.
