What happens when Izuku Midoriya breaks after relentless bullying and abuse from his family, friends and society? He gives up.
But, fate had other plans for him. Giving the boy who had a pure heart a another chance in life was the plan.
A life at a...
Izuku and Natsu stood face to face, their eyes locked in determination. While Natsu exuded an exhilarating enthusiasm for the impending battle, Izuku approached the confrontation with a calculated focus, carefully analyzing his opponent.
("I still don't know about Natsu's magic. Judging by the substantial bets placed on him and the aura I sensed, he must possess a form of potent magic. I must maintain a defensive stance until he reveals his magical abilities, allowing me to strategize a suitable counterattack.")
From the very first lesson bestowed upon Izuku by Elysia, he learned that recklessly diving headfirst into combat often resulted in defeat. True victory required more than mere brute strength and raw power.
The tension in the air reached its zenith as their master announced the commencement of the fight. "Then, fight!" the commanding voice boomed.
In perfect synchrony, both combatants surged forward, their fists colliding with a force that unleashed a great impact. The ground quivered beneath them, cracking slightly under the immense pressure, even eliciting tremors around them.

The impact of their collision sent both Izuku and Natsu reeling backward, momentarily staggered by the sheer force. However, before Izuku could even mount a counterattack, Natsu materialized in front of him in a blur of blinding speed, his leg poised to strike with ferocity... only to find empty air as Izuku swiftly evaded the incoming kick.
Ducking under Natsu's attack, Izuku seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful uppercut that propelled Natsu skyward. With unwavering determination, Izuku leaped into the air, his gaze fixed on Natsu's ascending form. As he reached his airborne adversary, Izuku expertly seized Natsu's leg and executed a spin, adding rotational momentum before hurtling him away with controlled force.
Natsu gracefully somersaulted in mid-air, landing on the ground with a controlled roll. Unyielding in his resolve, he charged once again, this time with even greater swiftness, his clenched fist aimed to strike Izuku square in the ribs. Yet, Izuku's defensive prowess shone through as he swiftly intercepted Natsu's punch, using his open palm to halt the attack. Seizing the opportunity, Izuku swiftly twisted Natsu's hand, immobilizing him for a moment, before launching his own retaliatory punch.
However, Natsu's instinctive reflexes kicked in just in time. He agilely sidestepped Izuku's incoming blow, gracefully evading his hold and creating some distance between them. With a newfound breather, Natsu assessed the situation, contemplating his next move.
Without wasting a moment, Izuku propelled himself forward, taking the initiative this time. He surged ahead, aiming to strike Natsu with a powerful elbow thrust. Natsu met the challenge head - on, countering with his own formidable elbow strike, their combined strengths engaged in a struggle of raw power, neither willing to concede an inch.
Breaking free from their intense struggle, Natsu initiated a swift spin kick aimed at Izuku, who swiftly ducked beneath the attack. Capitalizing on the opening, Izuku retaliated with a forceful knee strike to Natsu's gut, swiftly followed by a thunderous punch to his chest.
