Advertisement
A few weeks have passed since the battle with All for one. In the first week after the battle, Izuku has had alot of trouble moving and fighting, his body had healed, however the pain of his wounds stayed longer then expected.
While training, Izuku sometimes dropped to his knee from pain, and other times the pain in his shoulder was so intense that he couldn't move his arm at all.
He asked Recovery girl about it, she stated that the pain will eventually go away, but that the body really recovered.
After then, the remaining few weeks had passed, and we're now just 1 week away from the license exam. Today Aizawa told them to work on creating special moves, however since Izuku already had an arsenal of moves he was dismissed when others had to work on their moves.
Izuku roamed around UA when he saw Melissa. "Hey Izuku, you already done for today?" she asked. "yeah, Aizawa told everyone to work on special moves, but since i already have quite a few, i don't have to attent this class, so i'm out early" Izuku stated with smile. "That's good to know" Melissa stated.
"Why what's up?" Izuku asked curiously. "Well i wanted to spend a lazy day with you, so how about we grab some snacks, go to our room and watch some movies?" Melissa stated. "I never thought i would hear you say that" Izuku said laughing. "Why is that?" she asked a bit confused. "You're normally Always working on inventions with Mei, or just hanging around in the commen area," Izuku stated.
"Well, my inventions can wait, today i want to spend my day on my hot boyfriend" she said in a sly tone as she looked at him seductivly. "Is that right?" he asked. "Well it so happens to be that i want to spend my day with my amazingly beautifull girlfriend aswell" Izuku stated as he kissed her on the lips.
"So, snacks and movies?" she asked. "Snacks and movies" he answered as she grabbed his hand and ran towards the dorm, once there they took the snacks they bought earlier that week together and went to their room to watch a few movies. They did come down for dinner and explained to the others that they were watching movies together so they were just together without anyone else for once.
Everyone understood and smiled at them, Mina however was bursting with excitement as she thought of what could happen with a boy and a girl *watching movies* However did didn't really help because of the horny troll, he was bleeding from his eyes with jealousy.
Bakugo the gremlin didn't really care and went to his room after dinner as he didn't want to waste his day with that kind of shit. After dinner, Izuku and Melissa decided to go back to the room, and continue watching movies untill they were tired and went to sleep.
The rest of the week went by with nothing really happening besides everyday life, eventually it was time for the license exam. none of them were really nervous except for Mineta and mister sparkle aoyama.
Before the license exam started they saw members from shiketsu high, aswell as from ketsubutsu academy. Everyone quickly went inside as the license exam was about to start, they all put on their hero suits and went to the waiting room.
(alright i'll skip this part, i tried making a first round once before but failed miserably so let's just keep it the same as the anime except instead of Izuku with full cowl it's him with flames)

Next up was the rescue mission, and Izuku headed out, it didn't take long for him to hear someone ask for help, he quickly asked what happend, and if he was hurt anywhere, he then asked if the person could walk, however since that wasn't the case, Izuku lifted him up and brought him to the first aid station.
Once there he noticed shindo from ketsubutsu also bringing an injured kid, but also that there were alot of other victims already. One of the hero's in training quickly ran towards Izuku. "Is he injured?" she asked. "Yeah, he has a wound to his head and wasn't able to walk on his own, he doesn't have any broken bones but he has alot of bruises, and a cut on his head." Izuku explained to her. "Alright, i'll take him from here" she stated as she took him over.
At that point there was a massive explosion at the wall close to them. "Tell me, wannabe hero's can you fight and protect at the same time?" They heard, right as the smoke cleared they saw Gang Orca with alot of fake villains. "This is part of the exam aswell!" Izuku shouted. "You sure?" the girl that took the injured kid from him asked. "yeah" he stated as he watched all the victims.
"Get the injured to safety! i'll hold them off" Shindo shouted as he ran towards Gang Orca ad the fake villains that rushed towards them. "I'll start hammering down at them with 1 second interval!" Shindo stated as he used his tremoring quirk, However once he did, Gang Orca appeared just a few centimeters away from him. "Don't get cocky boy!" he yelled as he used his sonicwaves, however right as he did Izuku came in with a flaming dropkick as his flames clashed with the sonic waves, Izuku then grabbed Shindo and created a little distance between them and Gang Orca.
"Thanks that was close" Shindo stated. "Don't worry, i'll help you" Izuku stated. "how? that whale is stronger then i thought, he didn't seem faced by my tremors" Shindo stated. "I'll combine my power with yours" Izuku stated. "You remember that move you used at the start to seperate us?" Izuku asked. "You mean my tremoring earth?" Shindo asked surprised. "Yeah, let's use that and throw my power in the mix" Izuku stated with a confident grin.
"i see, my power to bring them out of balance, and your fire power to also inflict damage, that might actually work, let's do it!" Shindo stated as he grinned confidently aswell. Shindo glanced behind them and saw that only a few of the injured were taken to safety. "You sure we can hold them off long enough?" Shindo asked. "Yeah, we'll win, if we do this combination once or twice, we'll wipe them out and Gang orca will be damaged aswell" Izuku explained.
"Alright then, let's do it" Shindo stated as he placed his hands on the ground. Izuku did the same as they then shouted. "Scorching earth!" in unison. The ground broke apart as the fake villains were thrown up through the cracks in the floor, some of the floor even shot up in the air launching them up, however they didn't expect what was coming next.
From every crack the tremoring earth created, flames shot out from it aswell as all the villains were attacked by the flames, even Gang orca was send flying into the air as a stream of fire crashed into him directly.
"Nice that was a good hit!" Shindo stated as he panted. "Are you alright?" Izuku asked. "Yeah, but i already used it once today, normally 2 times is my limit, i'll probably be able to do it again however that will leave me unconcious" he explained.

"Well then don't use it, there aren't many left, just keep your tremors defencive for now, i'll start offence" Izuku explained. "You sure you can take all of them?" shindo asked. "I used alot of power in that attack just now, but i should be fine" Izuku stated with a smile.
Gang orca stood up, however to Izuku surprise, All of the fake villains did aswell. "Damn, i was sure that would take atleast some out, but it didn't take anyone down" Izuku stated as he began sweating. "Need some help?" Ojiro asked as he and Tokoyami appeared. Suddenly Todoroki and Inasa appeared aswell.
"good timing, with these members here we can definetly win!" Izuku stated. "Mind if i join in aswell then?" Asui asked as she suddenly appeared infront of him. "tsu!? how did you suddenly get here?" Izuku asked. "it's my new skill, camouflage" she explained. "But what'll we do about Gang Orca?" she asked.
"I'll take care of him" Izuku said as he walked towards Gang Orca. "I'll back you up" Inasa stated as he flew above Izuku. "Thanks, Todoroki can i ask you to shield shinso and back the others up?" Izuku asked. "Sure, i've got it covered" he answered.
Izuku and Inasa. Inasa tried using his wind, but this was blasted away by sonicwaves, Izuku's flames were held back by them aswell. "Damn those sonicwaves really are powerfull" Izuku stated. he then had an idea. He charged flames in his feet with his eyes on Gang Orca as he flew towards Inasa.
"I have an idea" he stated. "Sure, tell me" Inasa answered. "he's an orca right? that means covering him in flames must weaken him alot, if we manage to dry him out with the flames and weaken him like it should, his sonicwaves should become weaker aswell and we'll be able to beat him" Izuku stated.
"Yeah, but i don't use flames, and he is able to hold back your moves and cancel out mine" Inasa stated. "That's why we'll combine our powers" Izuku stated. "REALLY !? that's so cool!" he suddenly shouted as this surprised Izuku.
"Alright, we'll both have to go to the ground and launch our attacks at eachother, then just before they clash we'll send the attacks towards him, it should maximize the affect of it, and with our control we should be able to do it!" Izuku stated.
"Alright! let's do it!" Inasa stated as they both landed on the ground quite a bit apart from each other. "You done with the planning?" Gang orca asked as Izuku covered himself in flames, while Inasa covered himself in wind.
"NOW!" Izuku shouted as he shot a powerfull blast of fire at Inasa who also shot his wind, then right before it reached each other leaving Gang orca in confusion, the flames and wind suddenly shot towards him. This surprised Gang orca so much that he was too late to respond and then took the attack before being surrounded by a tornado of flames.
"Not bad, i have to admit, this is a very good plan, any ordinary villain would give up just by being inside here, however i broke both your attacks apart already! i'll do the same here!" He shouted as he used his sonic waves, however it didn't help. "Why can't i break it?" he asked.
"You might be able to break our attacks apart when it's 1 vs 1, but we've combined our powers, this attack is way stronger then what we've used so far!" Izuku stated. Gang Orca then used a bottle of water and threw i over his head.
"Don't get over confident, just like you can power up, i can do that too!" he stated as he looked up and used his most powerfull sonic waves which broke the tornado apart. "So what's ne~" Gang orca started but was suddenly met by Izuku who appeared just underneath his sight.
"Now it's over!" Izuku stated. "Burnout!" Izuku stated as he shot an incredibly powerfull blast of fire at Gang Orca launching him up in the air. Once Gang orca hit the ground, the exam was over, and the hero's had won, everyone was saved, and the boss of the villains was defeated which made his henchmen give up.
Everyone was then asked to gather in the middle of the arena where they were as then a hologram opened up. "Now all the names of the people who passed" They heard someone say. Inasa's class, Shindo's class and class 1A all passed as they all cheered loudly, however Izuku then suddenly turned around as he heard something.
When he had completely turned around however, he felt an arm grab around him before launching off. "IZUKU!" class 1A , shindo and Inasa shouted as they saw him being taken away. Inasa quickly flew up with Bakugo, however they were blown back by incredibly strong wind before the person and Izuku dissapeared.
"So when are you going to let me go?" Izuku asked. "Why do you think i'll let you go and not kill you?" The person asked. Izuku heard it was a female voice, and eventhough she tried to sound threatening, she sounded very kind. "If you wanted to kill me, you could've sliced my head off or pierced a vital spot then dissapear without being noticed" Izuku stated.
"So care to explain why you are taking me?" Izuku asked. "Fine, not here though, we'll talk somewhere safe" The person stated. Izuku felt the grip loosening around him, he noticed she wasn't as tense anymore, Izuku knew she was a girl, because of her voice, but also because her hand and arm felt a bit smaller then that of a man, but what told it the most was the long silver hair she had.
Izuku then saw figures jumping frombuilding to building which also began throwing attacks at them. "That can't be good" Izuku stated as the girl glance behind her and saw the figures. "Oh no" She stated. Izuku could hear the fear and trembling in her voice. He then released himself from her grip as this surprised her, however instead of running, Izuku grabbed her hand and shot himself forward with his flames at incredible speed pulling her with him.
"What are you doing!?" She asked. "Getting us out alive" Izuku stated as he then shot down towards the street, the figures were now running on the Streets. "Any idea who they are or how they are still able to barelly keep up?" Izuku asked. "I'll explain who they are later, as for how they were able to keep up, 1 of them has a quirk to enhance his own, but also others their speed temporarily" She explained.
"Alright then, time to get away from them" Izuku stated. "get on my back" Izuku stated as he kept flying at incredible speed. "What!?" she asked a bit unsettled. "just do it! i can't go full speed if i have to hold you like this, if i do i'll probably dislocate your shoulder" Izuku stated. "Hurry up or we won't be able to anymore!" Izuku stated.
She hesitated but quickly got on his back. "Hold tight!" Izuku said as he unleashed full speed which bursted them forward. Izuku began shooting through the street taking a few quick turns, eventually they lost side of their hunters as Izuku then stopped flying, landed on the ground and ran into an alley, he quickly hid there looking towards the street with 1 eye, just a few moments later he noticed the hunters running past.
Izuku had placed the girl on the ground as he grabbed her arm and started running the otherway untill they found and abandoned warehous. Once there they made sure no one was around and they quickly ran up a stairs to hide in a room.
Once they sat down, both of them were panting. "Why did you help me?" she asked suddenly. "You took me away from there for a reason, and you don't sound or feel like a person that wants to try and kill me" Izuku explained.
"So tell me, who are you, and who are they?" Izuku asked as he could finnaly look at her for the first time. He noticed her long silver hair again, together with red eyes, she looked his age. "My name is eri" she stated.
(Okay so, Eri is introduced first now, she's around Izuku's age and as you noticed she has a wind quirk, she can use it to cover herself in wind and use it for either close and long ranged)
"Alright, hello Eri i'm~" "Izuku Midoriya" she suddenly stated. "That's right... but how do you know?" he asked "Everyone that saw the fight between you and that villain on tv knows, but i also know it because of another reason, however for that i need to explain something" She stated.
"First, please don't attack or run, i don't plan on following my orders" she stated. "I promise i won't" Izuku said as she looked at him determent. "Those guys following us are from a mercenary gang, there are villains like the league of villains, and also normal thugs, but there is also the mafia and the mercenary gang" she explained.
"The mercenary gang and The Mafia joined together recently, and they were ordered by All for one to kill you if he failed" She explained. "you mean this was planned even before the fight i had with him?" Izuku asked calmly. "That's right, the mafia is normally not that dangerous, they deal alot, but together with mercenary's they are troublesome, they have been giving quirk enhancers aswell as powerfull weapons to kill quirk users" she explained.
"Who is the one i have to look out for the most?" Izuku asked seriously. "That would be the leader, he's neither 1 form the mercenary's or dealers, he just controles both of them, he's called Overhaul, he's named after his quirk, he can disasemble and reasemble whatever he touches with his hands, i've seen him using it a few times, it's a terrifying quirk, he also used it on me before" She stated.
"And i'm guessing you are with the mercenary's right?" Izuku asked. "I am they trained me to kill, however i've never killed someone before and honestly i don't want to! when i saw you fight all for one i was amazed, eventhough your leg and shoulder were pierced you still kept fighting! and i was extremely amazed by how the other hero's were helping you" she explained.
"you want to become a hero don't you" Izuku asked. "I do... but i'm a mercenary so i'll never be able to" she stated sadly. Izuku placed his hand on her head and patted her head. "you haven't done anything bad, and you haven't killed anyone, if anything else, you saved me" Izuku said with a smile. "You can still become a hero, and if you really want to be one then i'll do my best to let UA accept you!" Izuku stated.
"you'd really do that?!" she asked. "Sure" Izuku said with a smile. "I can tell you aren't a bad person, otherwise you wouldn't pull me away from an ambush and risk your own life, and you haven't attacked or killed me now so" Izuku explained. "I'm sure once i explain this to our principal, he'll understand" Izuku stated.
"Thankyou!" Eri stated as she hugged Izuku. "Are you alright though? you are panting quite a bit" Eri asked as she looked up, after sitting for a bit, Izuku was still panting while she already regained her breathing. "yeah i'm alright, i just used alot of power in the license exam" Izuku stated. "Luckily this all happend after i passed, i'm allowed to use my quirk now to fight villains to protect others" Izuku stated.
"I see, i'm sorry for dragging you away from there after you were so tired" she stated. "Don't worry about it, if it wasn't for you, we would've been ambushed, and if they attacked my class like that, i doubt they would've survived, an ambush is 1 thing, but to keep up with our speed, and making me use my max speed to get away is insane, i wouldn't have been able to protect them from that" Izuku stated.
"i see, i'm glad i did then" Eri stated. "I see so you don't regret your decision then?" They heard a voice saying from behind Izuku. Eri had Izuku stil in a hug as Izuku quickly jumped towards the other side of the room.
"o...o...overhaul!?" Eri stated. "So this is him huh?" Izuku asked as he looked at the man, he had short brown hair, a strange beak mask on his face, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. "Eri it isn't nice to disobey me like that, you know we have to kill our target, and here you are trying to rescue him, when will you learn that you'll either be a mercenary or your nothing but a corpse?" Overhaul stated.
"I don't want to be a mercenary! i want to be a hero just like Izuku!" she shouted. Izuku pushed her behind himself as he lightly charged his flames. "you sure you want to fight kid? i'm not saying it's not commendable, but my gang isn't asweak as the league" he stated.

8 3372Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
