The next morning. Izuku arrives at the old building and finds Aizawa was already there. Aizawa looks around and praises him for collecting all the equipment by himself and tells him that he will gain experience by fighting vigilantes. Aizawa only cared for the result, not the process, even if it meant to take a vigilante's aid. He wasn't hostile towards them and often cooperated with them.

"You can come on now.", Aizawa calls someone. A short man comes from behind the wall.

"Meet The Shocker, he will be fighting with you. Don't take it as your training, he is known for going a bit far from what is required, so take the fight seriously.", Aizawa gave Izuku a metal stick and asked him to head-on.

His fight was a bit one-sided, Shocker's sadistic nature was revealed soon. Izuku, no matter what he tried, couldn't get a good hit on him. The shocker was using his quirk too, Shock, which allowed him to numb any body part of sensation and to shock his enemies if he wanted. Izuku was shocked more than the time he was able to hit the vigilante. After a while Izuku was defeated, he sees the difference between him and other experienced fighters.

Izuku left the building, which had now become his training place or rather his thrashing place. He came home, his previous clothes were all tattered, he was glad that he brought some spare with him else Inko would have bombarded him with questions. Inko pats his head and reminds him not to be too harsh on himself.

Days passed and Izuku was trashed by some or other vigilante. Izuku who wasn't able to get a good hit earlier was now able to find openings but couldn't hit them without using his quirk. His fights showed him his disadvantage with others when he fought without his quirk but it didn't hold him but rather motivated him.

Months passed and now Izuku was at least able to occasionally hit his opponents without his quirk. He had shown great improvement. He combined everything he had learned in the past few years when he fought. He used Fietsu to sense changes around him and used his skills to find flaws in his opponent's quirk.

Izuku had now started to familiarize themself with the vigilante. He didn't know much about them but when they were together they were nice to him and often gave him a trick or two. While still far from their level now he was able to be at least a sidekick. He once tried to ask Aizawa to take him as a sidekick but he refused, telling him that he was too young to be one.

Time passed quickly, now Izuku was fourteen. He had managed to establish good connections with some vigilantes and had gained a lot of experience. He had made a huge arsenal of gadgets for him. Thanks to his time spent with Power Loader he was now able to collaborate with the supporters of the Recorders. Izuku was far from perfect but when he asked Yaoyorozu, one of the heads who knew Izuku's identity, he was happy to allow him to observe the technicians while they made support items for the Recorders.

Izuku didn't have a decent conversation with Bakugo since his birthday party and Izuku was too busy to follow him but he still admired him and his ambition of becoming the No. 1 Hero. He continued his training with vigilantes while still creating new gadgets for him.

Izuku was shy or what it seemed like to everyone. He kept yawning during classes, slept in breaks, and rarely conversed with anyone. He was considered to be a nerd, the one without a quirk. He never retaliated against anyone though he knew he could beat them to crap if he ever got angry. He was generally calm and had learned to conceal his expressions like his mentor. Soon the day arrived when the homeroom teacher would discuss the future of children.

"Bakugo, you are applying to UA for the hero course, aren't you?", the teacher asked the blonde. Everybody started discussing it.

Isn't it the top hero school in the country and their acceptance rate is only 0.2%.

"Yes, I will be going there, and don't anyone dare to apply there. I will be the first to get into UA from our school, I don't want to clump with extras like you all", Bakugo replied, causing everyone to grin.

"By the way Midoriya you are applying To UA too, right?", as the teacher said these words the attention of the whole class shifted towards the green-haired boy.

"Deku, joining UA, no way. Hey did you forget about you being a quirkless.", Bakugo laughed.

"I won't know if I can't join until I try and one doesn't need a quirk to join UA.", Izuku wanted to declare that he wasn't weak but he tried his best to stay calm. The class was over, Izuku had finally finished his analysis on All Might's quirk.

"Quirk Analysis volume 13, no nerd could ever join UA, so sit back.", Bakugo came to his seat and took the notebook that Izuku has just finished writing, He used his quirk and threw the notebook outside, luckily it wasn't damaged and fell in the pool of water.

Izuku ran and picked up his notebook, "Curse that brat, if Aizawa sensei hadn't asked me to hide my skills I could have beaten the crap out of him."

He checked the notebook, pages were in good condition except they were not wet. Izuku put it in his backpack and went back home. He was angry at Bakugo, he came near a tunnel and kicked a tin can. Suddenly his hands felt cold and slimy.

"Looks I have got a pretty good puppet. Now surrender your body to me. Don't be afraid it won't take more than 45 seconds", Izuku realized that he was losing his control over his body and slime rushing inside his mouth. He wanted to use his quirk but remembered that there's another way. He somehow managed to take a small device out of his pocket and activated it. The slime was being electrocuted, Izuku had made it so he could electrocute his opponents, it was an idea from The Shocker.

The slime was groaning in pain but he somehow managed to throw the device from his hands. Izuku now had no choice but to use his quirk. He felt a strong current of air blowing, the slime on his body was now gone, and a tall man was standing next, it was All Might.

"Fear not, I am here.", All Might stood in his signature pose. "Well now boy, sorry for being caught up but I have to go back", Izuku was a fanboy. He picked up his lying notebook and saw All Might's signature. As All Might was starting to take off without a moment of thought he grabbed his leg, Izuku was now in the air.

"Wait boy, what are you doing. Now get off from me now."

"I can't. If I get off now I will die." Izuku replied as wind clashed his face.

"Let me land somewhere."

All Might landed on a nearby building, smoke started coming from his body and soon his body changed. The one who had huge muscles was now a skeleton. Izuku gasped at just what he saw.

"Now that you have seen me don't just say it on the Internet", All Might explained how he was fighting a villain 5 years ago and got severely injured. All Might returned back to his muscular form and was ready to take off.

Izuku was shocked but there was something he needed to confirm. He asked, "Hey All Might can I be a hero without a quirk."
