Guidance, or To Help (those in need) by orionchildofhades / shwwmf

The entrance exam was slowly approaching.

Izuku was growing both anxious and excited. The entrance exam, and his acceptance because there was no way he wouldn't be taken, it would be the beginning of all of his plans. From inside he would have intel, no one would suspect the stuttering quirkless whose only dream was to be a hero but couldn't because of his disability . There, he would be able to put his plan in motion. Rumors had it that All Might had been meeting with Nezu and, with his current weakened state and weakening quirk, he probably wanted to lay low for a while, maybe even pass One For All on. There was nowhere better than in a hero school, Izuku supposed. If he could inform the League of the hero's plans and habits, they would get precious information for their attack. The only risk was with the security in UA. Izuku almost feared the principal and his tendencies to 'go mad' as some had said. He was both itching to get his hands into the security of the place and scared to mess it up. He could always plead curiosity. From programmer to programmer, he might be able to dodge trouble. He would only have to be careful when it came to showing his actual skills. He didn't want the school to know everything. What if they expected him to work for them? To help them chase villains, maybe even his own villains? That would be a terrible gamble on everyone's intelligence versus his own.

At least his studies were going well.

La Brava had whistled when she saw that he managed to clean his computer completely of every little bug and spy program and was now asking him to do actual jobs for her, as Guidance if he wanted to and had reduced her prices for she was done teaching.

The Doctor was still not agreeing to let him go around the nomus-to-be on his own but his theories had helped in the creation of the anti-All Might and his tests on quirklessly copying quirks was doing wonders. He didn't talk about it to Sensei, since it was still the man's main part of the project but Izuku kept this knowledge stored in his notebook, safe while encoded. He had also been looking more deeply into the storage system of the labs since he could get around the security there almost easily now. It still took a while but it was possible and he now knew how to do it.

He had found more details about Kurogiri, mainly the tests and failures of the projects, as well as information on the man he was but he hadn't bothered checking it, as nothing would help him on his work in it.

Turns out the fact that Kurogiri seemed to be almost an entire being was a mistake. Sensei intended for his weapon to be brainless, only capable of fulfilling simple orders. Kurogiri's free speech and actions were unexpected results of his work.

Izuku had avidly read everything about the mix of quirk which made Wrap Gate. Not every quirk intended to be added had actually been accepted by the body. The Doctor's theory, and Izuku had to agree, was that quirks were like limbs and organs. If you wanted to transplant one, there was always a risk of the body rejecting it. The fact that the body was technically dead and under heavy supervision had helped in the integration of the new quirks. This is how Izuku figured out that, perhaps, quirkless people were more apt to easily accept a new and unknown quirk into their body, as there was nothing in place before to replace, but their bodies were actually not made for the quirks they received. All Might's weakness was not solely due to his injury. And the fact that it was passed on probably made each of the holders more at risk, as their body could try to reject it. Izuku was going to go through some research on the project, hoping to find some trace of the quirk back in history and see how the holders died.

His first step would be Nana Shimura, since Sensei had mentioned her as All Might's mentor.

He also hoped to be able to get some DNA from All Might and actually study the effect of the quirk on the man.
