\......................................................../

Izuku has just returned home. He arrived abit later than he wanted, mainly becouse he had to go shopping since his mother would work overtime today and Tenko was unreliable in these matters.

That aside, Izuku was home, enjoying his peace while playing the guitar.

"That should be enough for today." Izuku put away his guitar just as his phone started playing.

He quickly grabbed his phone to turn the music off, only to realize it was his own notification.

"So the time has come. 10 days of waiting are officially over." He said as he sat down to his notebook.

"I am so nervous." He was almost logged in, but he stopped. "I need something for courage." Izuku left his room and went to the kitchen.

"It should be around here." Izuku was searching trough kitchen, until he found Tenko's secret beer stash. "He is gonna kill me for this, but I need something to calm my nerves." He thought as he took a small can of beer from the stash.

"Might as well take some snacks too." He mumbled and grabbed a pack of popcorn.

He returned to his room and opened his bag of popcorn.

Izuku raised his beer for a toast. "It's all or nothing now." He said as he cracked open the can and chugged all the beer down in one go. "Ugh, it's kinda bitter." Izuku said with twisted face.

"Ok, here I go!" He said as he pressed login button.

Izuku was nervous, but the tention disappeared when he realized that he was send to the profile site.

"Well, this is kinda anticlimatic." He chuckled, but he suddenly noticed a particular number on the screen.

"Wait... I GOT 7.000 FOLLOWERS?" He yelled in suprise, quickly covering his mouth.

"Ok Izuku stay calm, let's see how my song is doing." He tried to calm himself down, only to be even more shocked when he got into his video section.

"Hehehe, this is crazy... How did this happen?" Izuku exclaimed in shock as he looked at his song's statistics.

"It was only 10 days,... how? Is this really my song?" Izuku pressed the play button, still shocked by what he was seeing, but what he heard was indeed his song.

"Well, I should look at the comments too. I can't rely on feedback based on numbers alone." He thought as he opened the comments and started reading while eating popcorn.

One line from this guy is better than most albums from those popular artists today

"I'm not ready to die." This single line saved my life. I was suicidal for quite a while and planned to end it all today, but then I heard this and it just snapped me back. Thank you for giving me strength to go on

Izuku kept reading the comments one after another and altho they were positive, Izuku couldn't feel joy in this situation. Infact, it was painful for him to see so many people sharing their depressing stories.

"Man, so many hurt people and all it took to make their day better was just a few words." Izuku mumbled as he was looking at the screen. "But,... I helped them." He smiled. "It was me, who helped all these broken people."

looking at these comments, I can safely confirm my good sir, you are a hero

Normally, Izuku would scoff at the mere mention of a word hero, yet now, this word brought tears in his eyes.

YOU THINK YOU CAN BECOME A HERO DEKU!

As his last tear dropped, a small smile spread on Izuku's face as he grrabbed his phone.

"I finally decided." He said confidently as he searched trough his contacts.

Mr. Nakano
Calling...

<Hello?>

<Hello mr. Nakano. It's Midoriya, we met few months ago.> Izuku said, still recognizing the voice.

<So it is you. You sure took your time to decide.>

<I just wanted to ask if the offer is still open.> Izuku asked.

<Of course, I will send you later information about it. When are you available?>

<I would like to meet tomorrow if possible.>

<Let's go with that then, see you later.>

Those were the last words before mr. Nakano hang up.

Izuku sighed, relieved that the call went smoothly. He opened the drawer next to him to reveal his old burned notebook.

He.o An-lisis #7

"It looks like you were wrong about me after all, isn't that right... Bakugo." He said with a smirk on his face and closed the drawer again.

"I can be my own damn hero."


\...................../ Time Skip \...................../

Izuku was walking trough the streets of Musutafu.

"Allright, mr. Nakano texted me that we should meet up at 4 in Mikado cafe. Now only if it was abit closer to my home..." Izuku thought as he let out frustrated sigh.

"Mika,... Mika,... Mika,... Mi-MIKADO THERE!" He screamed internally as he finally spotted his target.

Izuku took out his phone to check time. "And I am still 10 minutes early, good."

He went to the cafe, but unsuprisingly couldn't spot mr. Nakano. "He isn't here yet. Oh well, I guess I will just order a coffee and wait."

And so, Izuku bought some cheap coffee and sat down to the nearest empty table.

Few minutes passed and Izuku was getting slightly nervous, but then he heard the entrance bells.Sure enought, when he looked at the door, he saw a black haired man with blue eyes he met all that time ago. Mr. Nakano also noticed him and went to Izuku's table.

"It's been a long time Midoriya." He said.

"It sure has been mr. Nakano."

"So, what do you think about the place?" Maruo asked.

"Not sure why you ask, but the atmosphere is pretty nice and coffee isn't half bad for the price. I might come around again someday."

Maruo chuckled. "I agree, I just wanted to know your opinion on the place where your life will take a very drastic turn. Are you prepared for it?"

"I wouldn't call you if I wasn't." Izuku replied.

"I see, let's talk business now then, shall we?"
