Chapter 2

The rest of the day was normal, and luckily there was no test. At the end of the day everyone started to gather their things and leave, including Izuku.

"Oi parsley."

Izuku raised his head and saw Bakugo with two girls and another boy, their classmates, the girls are Sakura and Inoue, and the boy is Ginjo, he's homosexual.

Ginjo is a nice guy to hang out, he's pretty funny too and Izuku could actually call him a friend. He's one of the few guys in school who is genuine in wanting to be friends with him even though he was Quirkless.

As for the girls, well, though they are a bitch, like those bullies in movies where they target the main heroine because the guy they like is interested on the heroine.

Though they haven't been bullying physical and more on verbal, they also act nice if you are friends with them.

Bakugo pointed his thumb at the girls, "We're planning on heading to the arcade to play for awhile, wanna come?"

Izuku shook his head, "I still have to meet up with the members in Kendo club, you know with us being third years, I plan on passing my position as a captain to my underclassman. Speaking of which, aren't you the captain of basketball club?"

Bakugo smirked, "Who cares about that stuff. Basketball is just a hobby, now that we're attending U.A there's no need to pay much attention on stuff like that."

Izuku shrugs, "Up to you then. Anyway, if you guys are heading to the arcade where we usually hang out then I'll catch up to you. I just need to finish my club business."

"Whatever," Bakugo rolled his eyes before smirking, "See you later nerd!"

"Bye Izu-kun!"

"See you later Izu-chan!"

"Don't make us wait Izu dear."

Izuku just waved his hands as the four of them walked out of the room. After putting his notes back in his bag, Izuku went out of the room went straight to the Kendo club.

-------------

Walking out of the school, Izuku stretched his arms. The meeting with his club members was already done just a few minutes ago, and now he plans on going to the arcade.

Of course, he decided to take a detour where he knew is a shortcut.

He usually doesn't take this route as he like to jog to their home, but since he was supposed to meet up with Bakugo he decided to take the shortcut.

Suddenly...

The hair's on the back of Izuku's neck stood on end, there was a change in the air as he felt an ominous presence.

Turning his head, he saw a figure of a slime with two large eyed and teeth glaring at him, his eyes wanting to swallow him whole.

Without even as much as a pause, he sweep kick the tooth of the slime, sending it's whole body flying.

'The fuck was that?' Izuku stared at the blob of slime in shock.

"Shit! My tooth!" Roared the slime as it glared at Izuku, "That fucking hurts you brat! I'll make you pay for that!"

The slime lunged towards Izuku, "Let me borrow your body for a little!"

Izuku quickly jumped to the side before dropping his bag and opened the top buttons of his blazers before he lowered his body and began to swing back and forth.

'This is self-defense, besides I don't even have a Quirk.'

The slime look at Izuku, confused by his strange moves. The young man himself just smirked, he really liked the look of his opponents when using this particular martial arts.

Capoeira. It's an Angolan martial arts that combines elements of dancing, acrobatics, and music. This martial arts was practiced by the enslaved Africans in Brazil in 16th century.

If people were to see him now, they'll think that he was breakdancing. Well, he was, but just more deadly.

Izuku easily dodged the attacks of the slime with fluid motions as he did series of cartwheels with his body rocking back and fort.

The principle of Capoeira is to remain in a state of constant motion, preventing the user from being a still and easy target. 

This has been Izuku's favorite martial arts to date. He was kind of sad that this, along with many other martial arts are dying due to Quirks.

What good a martial would do if you faced an opponent who could just punch through a building, or even turn into a giant?

Right now, the only reason why martial arts hasn't died yet is because people with weak Quirks used them to fight those stronger than them.

'Hmm, his body is made out of liquid so physical attacks are pretty much nullified, unless you're All Might. The only thing solid that I can hit are the eyeballs and the tooth.'

"DAMN IT! DON'T MOVE YOU BASTARD AND LET ME USE YOU!" the slime angrily lunged at Izuku.

The green haired martial artist just cartwheeled to the side before kicking its tooth. Izuku cringed as he saw a piece of teeth getting blown away by the power of his kick.

Of course, Izuku continued his attacks without letting the slime even a second of rest. He sent kick after kick, sometimes an elbow strikes and punches on the eyes.

With a shout, Izuku sent a very powerful kick that sent the entire tooth of the slime scattering everywhere.

The slime laid on the ground, struggling to move.

"HAVE NO FEAR!" A strong voice said making both Izuku and the slime villain freeze, but for different reasons. One is excitement, and the other fear, "I'm here!"

There, climbing out of the manhole, is a tall and muscular man with blonde hair wearing a white shirt and black pants, carrying a plastic bag.

The man paused, and stared at the slime villain on the ground, then to the young man with green hair.

"Looks like a good citizen has already did my job for me! Now I'm feeling ashamed!" said the man with a laugh, "Are you alright kid?"

Izuku nodded his head, staring at the man in front of him with stars in his eyes. 'I can't believe it! It's All Might! The number 1 Hero! My Idol!'

"Well, normally I would've reprimand you about illegal use of your Quirk in public, but I will let this one go because it's self-defense." said All Might before taking out a water bottle from the plastic bag he was carrying.

He pour out its content and put the slime villain inside it.

"I'm Quirkless," said Izuku.

All Might paused, but continued doing his job. After he was done, he put it on his pocket and stared at Izuku and grabbed his right arm and began checking it.

"Wh-What are..." Izuku stared at All Might in wonder.

"You are surprisingly in peak condition," said All Might before letting go, "I can tell that you are even stronger than most adults, much less people your age."

"Well, I kind of have too if I wanted to become a hero." Said Izuku as he clenched his fist, "I always wanted to help people, but I know that for a Quirkless kid like me it's almost impossible. But that didn't stop me. I'm Quirkless, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable, everyone just had a headstart, all I need is to catch up through hardwork. And for almost a decade, I busted my ass off to train just to achieve that dream..."

Izuku looked at All Might, staring at him straight in the eyes, "Hey All Might, my mom already told me this, even my friend told me this, but I wanted to hear it from you...do you think I could become a hero?"

All Might remained silent, staring at the green haired boy in front of him as he clenched his fist, 'I know I should say no, a life of a hero is too dangerous even for people with quirk, but even so...'

He stared at Izuku's eyes, 'That drive, will, and that determination I can see in his eyes! Not to mention that dedication on being a hero...what kind of person I would be if I say no?!'

So he smiled. In another time, in another life, if All Might saw the Izuku Midoriya who was skinny, and wimpy with a little to no self-confidence, All Might would've said no.

After all, if he did not even bother to train himself to reach his dreams, if he did not even the confidence of looking at him while asking that question, then is it really okay for him to be a hero?

The answer is no.

But this time.

He gave Izuku a thumbs up and a smile, "Of course! You, young man, have already trained yourself for your dreams! This path might be hard because you lack what the others have, but not impossible! If you work hard enough, I'm sure that you too, can become a hero!"

Those words caused Izuku to smile, "Thank you All Might, that means so much to me."

"Hahaha! No problem young man! Now I need to get going, I have to deliver this villain to the police!"

"Wait!" Izuku called out, causing All Might to look at him. Izuku ran towards his bag and took out two notebooks and pen and handed it to All Might, "CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!?"

All Might blinks, before bursting into laughter, "Hahaha! No problem young man!" with that, All Might took the pen and signed the two notebooks.

"Well then, I'll be off!" All Might gave a salute before jumping in the air, causing a small gust of wind.

Izuku stared at his notebook with All Might's signature, "I'm gonna give this one to Katsuki. I met our idol first, I'll take that this as a win for me. Hehehe, I can't wait to see his face when he saw this."

However, what no one noticed, is that the plastic bottle used by All Might to capture the slime, fell from his pockets.
