Izuku did nothing for the next three days except catch up on shows and do daily quests...
Izuku said, "Izumi don't forget your umbrella it's gonna rain."
Izumi groaned and said, "Give it..."
When Izumi left Izuku said, "Stats."

Four days worth of stat points were piled up in his stat screen. He had not missed a single daily quest, and of course, diligently collected the rewards. But he had not used any of the points yet. He wasn't sure what to do with them and Izuku said"...This is hard." Indeed it was. It was not an easy decision to make. Strength. Good stat. One For All can be in used at a higher percentage. No regrets in dumping every point in it so far. Agility. Also good stat. Not needed against low level enemies, but absolutely critical against stronger foes. Speed was relative, after all. Constitution and perception. Having higher health was always a good thing, and perception turned out to be surprisingly useful as well. Intelligence...
This was the problem. This was the sole attribute that he had no information to go on. Even after his levels rose, he didn't really feel smarter. His memorization didn't exactly improve, nor did his mental math become any faster and Izuku thought, 'I'm sure it's related to magic...' Perhaps he didn't need it after all. That left just strength, agility, constitution and perception.
Even with one less choice, he still was not sure. The synergy between strength and agility was clear; no matter how hard he could hit, it meant nothing if he couldn't hit his target. On the same hand, no matter how accurate he was, it meant nothing without power behind the attack. With that in mind, strength and agility were a set and thought, 'Since my strength is at a good place, I should bring up agility to a similar level. Stat.'

Izuku thought, 'Fuck perception isn't 30 noooooo....'
As he thought that he looked in the fridge and saw not a lot of food and thought, 'I should enter a gate I also need to test One For All... Also money... The Hero association won't pay forever.'
Izuku then ran to his room and hopped on his computer as he slowly booted up he browsed through the job boards and made a few calls but there was no progress as no one wanted a useless E rank. Little do they know... What quirk... What quirks he has... The Heroes who put up listings on the job boards were there for personal raids. As such, they were looking for reliable people to watch their backs. Izuku then leaned back and thought, 'Maaaan... I don't get any jobs... Maybe I should get my quirk retested... No people will know about my quirk... You get told what rank you can get to but you have to work through the ranks... So when they see e rank they immediately ignore me... I'll get it retested when I'm already as strong as a S-rank.'
As Izuku scrolled he saw: We'll take anyone, regardless of ranking, first come first serve! As Izuku read that his eyes were shot open...
Izuku gave a brief introduction and asked about the job posting.
The man said, "Ah, you're an E-rank?" The response was better than he had hoped the man continued, "That's fine. You just have to come and help us fill the headcount. But since it's a C-rank Gate, you probably won't be much help in the fighting. So we'll have to leave you out of the loot distribution. Instead, we'll give you a flat amount of 191,914.04 yen, how's that sound? Could you make it?"
Flat amount of 191,914.04 yen! It was an incredible compensation for just filling the headcount. The conditions were not that bad. Although regrettable that he'd be excluded from the loot, he could not let 191,914.04 yen slip out of his hands and Izuku thought, 'For now, let's start with this.' An opportunity like this didn't come every day. 191,914.04 yen would be more than enough for the month.
Izuku accepted the proposition and said, "I'll be there in 15 minutes."
As Izuku reached the area he saw 9 people waiting for him. It was a large hairy man he greeted Izuku with a delicate smile and said, "Izuku Midoriya-san?"
Izuku said, "Yeah." The man briefly introduced his teammates. Eight of the Heroes, including himself, were a group that had been working together for a long time. The ninth Hero, like Izuku, came after seeing the job post to fill the headcount.
As he greeted his teammates, Izuku looked over their faces. Due to his raised perception stat, he was able to discern the relative strength between the gathered Heroes and thought, 'Five of them are about the same level. Four of them below. So it's five C-ranks and four D-ranks?'
Raiding a C-rank Gate had rules. It required a minimum of 10 people, and half of the party had to be at least C-rank. Only then, the association would give raiding permission. It seemed like their need for Izuku just to the fill the headcount was true.
The leader said, "Now that we've all been introduced, I'll explain a few things." Hwang Dong, a C-rank Hero, had a relaxed face born from experience. As he began to explain the various rules and warnings in this Raid, someone approached Izuku and said, "So- looks like we're both tagalongs."
The young man with a bright face was the other Hero recruited by Hwang Dong to fill the headcount. However, unlike Izuku, he was not a noncombatant; he was a D-ranker who would be participating in battle.
His name was Yoo Jin, 22 years old. Izuku greeted him with a light bow of his head and turned back to Hwang Dong. Yoo, who had hoped for a conversation, scratched his head and returned to his spot.
Hwang Dong laughed and clapped his hands and said, "Alright then, I'll stop the explanations here. Let's head on in." Everyone began the last minute preparation before heading to the Gate.
Hwang said, "Ah, before that, if you two could just sign this real quick."
Hwang Dong handed Izuku and Yoo a piece of paper. It was a simple contract and Hwang said, "You just have to write your name at the end and sign."
Izuku's contract stated that he would not be involved in combat or be given part of the loot. Instead, he would receive 191,914.04 yen, at the end of the Raid. It was same as the conversation Izuku had over the phone. However, a line at the end caught Izuku's eye, 'No matter what accident befalls in the Dungeon, they would not take any responsibility...'
