After school that day:
Takumi was still stunned that he was going to receive a chance to become a Pro Hero by UA. Although one of the conditions of his transfer into the hero course was to inform his mother of the fact that he's Iron Man... and he wasn't looking forward to THAT conversation.
'How would I even start that conversation? Hey, Mom... I know you work a lot so you don't get to see me often so I've been spending my free time after school being a quirkless vigilante flying around in a metal suit. Yeah... that's going to be REAL fun.' Takumi thought.

'Well, you'd have had to tell her at some point. There's no way you could have hid this from your Mom forever, kid.' Spirit Tony pointed out from inside of Takumi's mind.

Before Takumi could respond, Midoriya ran up to him. "Sakai, wait up!" It didn't take too long for Midoriya to catch up with him.

"Today was a crazy day of school, huh?" Midoriya asked somewhat nervously. Midoriya was part of the reason why All Might learned who he was, so Midoriya wanted to be sure that Takumi wasn't too upset with him. Luckily, Takumi wasn't upset in the slightest, as he was still amazed that he was being given a chance to make Iron Man truly mean something.

"Yeah, I get into a fight with Big Bang Attack, then Dectective Midoriya cracked the case and found out who I am. Crazy is an understatement." Takumi replied with a chuckle. Midoriya looked at Takumi with concern.

"Kaachan didn't hurt you, did he?" Midoriya asked. Takumi shook his head.

"Nah, but I think I hurt his pride a little. He wasn't expecting a quirkless guy to be able to fight back. I'm sure he'll be gunning for me when the sports festival comes around." Takumi replied before he chuckled. Despite being the only quirkless participant, he felt excited about the idea of showing everyone what he's made of.

"Deku, Sakai!" A voice called out to them. Both of them turned to see it was Ochako Uraraka and Tenya Iida. Takumi's phone then went off and Takumi saw that he had several text messages from Mei Hatsume, mostly being about how Power Loader and her had both been worried about him. Mei also told him to make sure to see Recovery Girl if he got hurt.

"Uraraka, Iida." Midoriya greeted them as Takumi nodded at the two. Both Uraraka and Iida looked at Takumi with concern on their faces.

"Did you get into too much trouble with the principal?" Uraraka asked. Takumi shook his head.

"No. Because Bakugo was the aggressor, he got in more trouble than me... although he did give me a stern talking to about using weapons in the cafeteria." Takumi replied.

"Mr. Aizawa wasn't very happy with Bakugo either. When he got back into class... long story short, I think he had taken more hits to his pride after Mr. Aizawa was done with him." Iida added as Uraraka giggled.

"It was quite the verbal beat down." Uraraka confirmed. Suddenly, a police officer walked over to them.

"Mr. Sakai. I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation with your friends, but I brought some paperwork that you need to sign. The document is part of your deal with All Might and Principal Nezu." The police officer told Takumi. Uraraka and Iida looked shocked.

"A deal with All Might and Principal Nezu that involves the police?! What the heck happened??" Uraraka and Iida asked in unison. Takumi smiled.

"Everything will make sense tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I've been invited by All Might to be a 'guest' for Class 1-A's training tomorrow." Takumi informed them as he grabbed the paper from the police officer and signed it.

Flashback:
"So if I'm joining the Hero course, does that means my days patrolling the city are over now?" Takumi asked All Might and Nezu. Midoriya looked at the them in curiosity of how this would all play out.
