======================================================

When Izuku entered the classroom everyone was quiet. It was a tense silence until a person spoke up.

"Hello,classmate! My name is Iida Tenya!" A person who makes a robotic gesture comes to them and greets them.

"Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you, Tenya-san." He introduces himself and Izuku takes his hand for a handshake.

"Iida-san this is the guy that took the robot in one punch that we have been talking about!" Uraraka said to Iida with enthusiasm.

"Wait!? You look so different! How did it happen?!" Iida is surprised when Uraraka said it.

"My quirk changed my looks. It was rather a unique experience, I guess." Izuku said but it can be felt he did not want to talk about it.

"I see. You are amazing for punching that robot! You know that we get extra points if we save someone!" Iida shook hands of Izuku up and down after that for some time.

"Tenya-san, this is Momo Yaoyorozu. Momo, this is Tenya-san." Iida shook hands with Momo.

"Nice to meet you, Yaoyorozu-san. Midoriya-kun, just call me Iida. We came from the same exam after all." Iida flashes a smile at them.

"All right, Iida-kun." Izuku was happy having more friends and this guy is really cool as he can see propeller from his ankles. It reminds him of the Jet Hero.

"Oi! Deku! Come with me!" Izuku's childhood friend who had a rough voice called out to him. His full name is Bakugou Katsuki and he was called Ka-chan by Izuku for a very long time.

"Ka-chan. Sure." Bakugou was surprised by Izuku's demeanor as it was not the cowardly type Deku that he has known throughout this childhood.

The two left the classroom and went into the sides of the hallway.

"Deku, your mom send my mother a picture." Bakugou showed a picture of him that he was churned black from head to toe.

"That's me when my quirk was out of control." Izuku answered with a firm voice.

"It seemed you changed, nerd." Bakugou noticed his change from his standing posture and how he carries himself. Bakugou was always the attentive one despite his looks.

"Things happen." Izuku said to him. They were now staring at each other with hostility.

"Why did you hide your quirk from me?" Bakugou inquired with a loud voice full of resentment.

"I didn't know that I have a quirk. I would not be in that state if I knew." Izuku left after that statement.

'Ka-chan is my peer. The symbol of victory to me is not him anymore but someone else.' Izuku remembered the insignia of the lion which has been etched to his soul.

Bakugou was angry but he cannot say anything. He can observe Izuku now but he was still frustrated as to why like him got to U.A. only talented people go to U.A. not people like Deku.

When Izuku came back he saw Eraserhead on the floor sleeping on his gear. Bakugou was right behind him.

"No time to waste since these two people already wasted our time." Eraserhead pointed at both Deku and Bakugou.

"Come to the gymnasium." He started walking swiftly as the students followed him.

When going to the gymnasium they changed clothes to P.E. uniforms.

Momo's Point of View

"Hey! Yaoyorozu-san, I am Mina Ashido and this is Toru Hakagure." A pink-skinned girl came up to her while changing clothes also an invisible girl was with her.

"Hello, Ashido-san. Nice to meet you." 'She seems like a vivacious girl and the girl who is with her seems like that too by using huge gestures to express herself.'

"Yaoyorozu-san, you sure are close with Midoriya-san." Ashido started the topic and Momo blushed heavily. There are only six girls in the changing room so everyone was listening.

"We know each other before we went to U.A. and Izuku is a pretty good guy." Momo was done changing but it seems it got hotter when Izuku was mentioned.

"Hmm….good guy? More like a hunk. I thought the white-red guy was already hot but there comes this guy who transcended everyone!" Ashido got close to Momo. Momo did not look bothered at all as she can feel there was no ill intent on Ashido's side.

"He really is cool! Introduce us to him, Yaoyorozu-san!" Hagakure shouted while jumping about.

"Sure, no problem. Izuku wants to make friends too." Momo said.

'I cannot be selfish as Izuku already did his best to go here and to make friends.'

"I can feel something about Midoriya-kun. Like he attracts people and it is not by looks alone." A green-haired girl spoke with a monotonous tone.

'It seems I am not alone who feels that way. There is really something going on around Izuku. No matter, Izuku is Izuku.'

"It seems it's time." Momo said and the girls followed to go to the gymnasium.

Eraserhead was standing and waited for them to finish and stated his business.

"I have a test that will be conducted if the last two people are unable to comply with the requirements. They will be expelled." Eraserhead stated to them clearly.

They wanted to voice out their complaints but unable to since it was a pro-hero stating that.

"Alright. We will start measuring now." Eraserhead told them. They are allowed to use quirk as they can in this exam.

Some people did better than others while others did worse than others.

Izuku was doing good as he can use 5% of One For All. He sprinted as fast as he can and he believed that if he can utilize One for All better he will be faster than Iida.

Many exercises were implemented and Izuku did great but an incident happened when he threw the baseball.

"Oi! Deku! What the hell is this!?" Bakugou was about to go there when he was captured by Eraserhead.

"Sensei, it is alright. This is my own issue with him." Izuku looked at Eraserhead and pleaded with his eyes. Eraserhead complied as he knew how capable of a person Midoriya is.

"Stop! We are classmates and we should not be doing this." Momo said as he stopped Bakugou in his tracks.

Bakugou shoved Momo aside which was forceful enough to put Momo to the ground.

Izuku's Point of View

Ka-chan pushed Momo aside. I felt something inside of me.

This is anger. Nobody pushes my friends aside.

/Will you just let others step on people you wanted to protect? Where is the will that you showed me?\

'I heard it is as if Sunshine talked to me. This will not stand!'

I will need to control Sunshine and this will be a perfect opportunity.

"Momo!" when I saw Momo having a scrape on her beautiful face.

I took off my glasses which suppresses Sunshine.

"Momo!"

The students heard his shout but it was a rough voice coming from Midoriya.

They saw him take off his glasses and as he did, the room temperature became high at a swift pace. They can feel the heat of it.

Bakugou was closing into Midoriya. Midoriya himself walks towards Bakugou.

"You did not have to shove her." Midoriya's voice was vibrating as it controls the pace of the conversation.

"Huh!? She was in my way Deku. Nerd! Having a quirk does not mean you are above me!" Bakugou bit back at him.

"Let's finish this and fight." Izuku towered over Bakugou as they are face to face.

Bakugou punched Midoriya but Midoriya dodge a thread of hair.

Midoriya threw a punch and his classmates saw like he threw a sun.

It hit Bakugou as he was send tumbling down. Bakugou remained his composure and threw some bombs at him.

Midoriya did not bother to defend and just stood tall.

He pointed his hands upward and everyone saw it.

It was the sun. It was not a fire like Endeavor's hellflame.

It was a literal sun.

"Midoriya!" Eraserhead used his quirk and as he did the sun started dissipating. He was glad that Midoriya is not as good as Sunshine when controlling that quirk.

Midoriya looked at Eraserhead and went back to walk to Bakugou.

"Ka-chan, my name is not Deku. It is Izuku." Midoriya stated to him.

Bakugou was looking at him with seething anger.

"Ka-chan, you are one of the people who I respect the most. For you are powerful." Bakugou's eye shifted as he looks like he is taking all of Izuku's words.

Midoriya lifted him up without warning and looked at him.

/You are my rival\ That voice was from Midoriya but it sounded a different one.

"A rival, huh? Then I will beat you black and blue when the time comes." Bakugou smirked and looked at Izuku.

"Y-Y-Your g-g-glasses, Izuku. Do not throw it somewhere else next time alright?" Momo was blushing heavily.

Itsuki Bakugou's Point of View

I fought with Deku and was floored.

'Shit! That damn nerd!'

He can see that the sun was being made and it frightened him. Deku frightened him even earlier when they were face to face. He asserted pressure and it made me stay in place.

'I lost to this damn nerd! I will get my reve—'

As I was getting pulled up and went to look at Deku in his eyes. I always hated it.

I do not need help. Not right now. 'Why does a weakling like him need to help me?!'

/You are my rival\

I see now. I was blind.

This guy was just not helping me. He looked up to me too.

Rival, huh? Does not sound too bad.

But I will not be defeated here like this. I need to get back at him.

When Deku wore the glasses back and he looked like the normal one.

"Look at you being exhibitionist, damn nerd."

Since the uniform is incapable of taking the heat from his quirk, he is basically

half-top naked right now.

Women are drooling at him.

'I know now how to get back at him. Teasing him about those women seems a pretty fun time killer.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AN: I think of Mirko as a Bakugou who got toned down. I cannot really hate the guy.
