This is Ochako's POV love story - Part one

Warning: Manga Spoilers

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

My name is Ochako Uraraka. I'm the only child in my family. My quirk is Zero Gravity and my hero name is Uravity (Urabiti). Whenever I touch an object, animal, or person, I can make them float. The only downfall is that it has a limit to the amount of weight that may be nullified, which is about around three tons. The more objects or persons I've touched, the more I struggle to keep them afloat, and continued strain results in me feeling nauseous and woozy to the point of vomiting.

Now, I'm a student of Yuuei Academy, one of the best and toughest schools for heroics where many famous heroes like All Might, Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist became one of the top ten heroes in Japan. My main objective every day is to help my parents have a comfortable life as they struggle to work 24/7 (working more than two jobs) and to earn money to pay all the taxes and bad debts due to our business' bankruptcy. That's why I don't hesitate when anybody asks me what is my goal for being a hero, to be working for money, and giving my caring parents what they deserve, a great life where they can relax and enjoy themselves. I saved enough money for my school allowances and send all my earnings from work-study to my mother. Sometimes, I didn't eat or use electrical appliances just to save money. Now, I lived in a school dorm with my friends and I eat every day because of a free meals. 

During my time at Yuuei, I met a lot of interesting people with awesome quirks. Sometimes I felt envious of them because their quirks are powerful and almost excel in their academic studies, especially her classmate named Momo Yaoyorozu always at the top of her class, living a rich and famous lifestyle, and her quirk is amazing. She created things using several lipids such as canons, clothes, matryoshka dolls, katanas, and so on. The most amazing quirk belongs to the boy named Deku. His real name is Izuku Midoriya but I called him "Deku" because it sounds like "Dekiru" which means "You can do it". His quirk is super-strength but now he activated another quirk called "Black Whip" which is kinda odd if his parents have amazing quirks just like Shoto Todoroki whose mother has an ice quirk and his father has a fire quirk. His father was known as Endeavor, the number one hero in Japan where All Might lost his quirk after the battle with AFO and decided to retire as a number one hero. However, I'm eager to know all the amazing quirks of other pro heroes and students of Yuuei. I'm glad that I met Deku whose habit is to collect information about heroes' quirks. He shared his knowledge with me about heroes' profiles, for example, Bakugo's weakness is hand-on-hand combat, Aizawa's soft spot is caring for a Neko (cat) and Iida's strength is drinking too much energy drinks. He also comes up with a strategy about how to defeat your opponent and likes to collect memorabilia from Otaku's Fun Museum. 

My experience at Yuuei would not have been the same without my friends, especially Deku-Kun. When I first met him, I thought he was a plain-looking, muttered-mouth, and clumsy boy who came into Yuuei with zero hero experience but I realized that he was the only one who risked his life to save me from a zero-point giant robot. The next time I saw him, was our first day at Yuuei. We discovered that we were going to be classmates in Class 1-A. I was glad that we officially became best friends (With Iida-kun of course) and when it comes to exams and training, we officially became partners. It's like we're being paired through Fate. 

Since saving me from a zero-point giant robot at the entrance exam, Deku-kun did nothing but work hard every day  to achieve his dream of becoming the number one hero in the future. His performance at the sports festival, at the joint training camp, how he saved Iida from Hero Killer known as Stain, how he defend Kota and saved Eri from the hands of Overhaul, and joint training with class 1-B and Shinso are amazing. His performance in the provisional licensing exam and hero duties at Otheon are all examples that show his improvement as a hero and his kindness towards his friends.
