---------------------------------------------------------

"I'll be back in a bit!" Izuku says as he steps out of the house. "Alright Izuku, be safe out there!" He hears his mom say from the kitchen. "I will! Bye, Mom!" Izuku says with a smile as he closes the door and starts heading towards the gas station.

It's been a day since the exam. He's been happy ever since he got the news that he got accepted into his dream school, and he was ecstatic when he heard how the others got accepted into Beacon Academy as well. He remembered how his parents reacted when they got back.

–FLASHBACK-

"We're home!" Inko announces, hearing their voices, Izuku goes downstairs and sees them at the front door. They head to their son and give him a nice family hug, one Izuku accepts without hesitation. After breaking the hug, Hisashi was the first to ask. "So, how did the exams go?" He says. Izuku smiled as he held a hologram. It flashed on, leaving Hisashi and Inko surprised and joyful at what it displayed.

'IZUKU MIDORIYA'
Practical Exam: 99%
Villain Points: 75
Hero Points: 85
TOTAL: 160
ENROLLED TO BEACON HIGH

Hisashi smiles while Inko has tears already building up, the hologram closes as both parents look at their son to see him smiling. "I made it," Izuku says, being pulled into an emotional hug by his mom, with his dad joining afterward.

–FORWARD TO NOW-

Izuku smiled at the memory of the big dinner that came the day after the exams to celebrate passing. But when he thought back to the exams, he remembered what Yang had asked him during the end. It's all about his newfound power.

'I've gotten a quirk thanks to All Might and have gotten as far as 15% thanks to Gran Torino, but I never thought how I would tell the others...' Izuku thought, slightly worried. 'One for All was meant to be kept a secret, but how would I explain it to them without revealing too much?' Izuku then shook his head.

"I can think about that later. I guess I'll just head to the gas station and make my way back home," said Izuku, but he heard something coming from the Alleyway. "We finally got her! Dang, tracking her down took so long!"

Izuku turned to where the voice was coming from, almost certain that he heard something or someone there. But now it came down to whether he should go in and check out what was happening or just continue to the gas station and pretend like it was nothing.

"Eh, It's not like I have much to do as of right now, let's see what's happening here." Izuku decides to hell with it and goes into the Alleyway, wondering if what he had just heard was someone else or if it was just his head.

He peeks from behind a wall and what he saw surprised him. Two people who he'd guess were heroes were standing in front of someone who was cuffed up and on the ground, but it wasn't just anyone, it was a woman who was known as the Vigilante: The Fragmented Illusionist. He had read in a few articles about how she had been taking down criminals, villains, and supposed fake heroes throughout the city.

Izuku had first thought that being a vigilante was a bad thing to do. But the more he grew older, the more he realized how some vigilantes don't target innocents and have been taking care of thugs and criminals. They're almost like secret heroes in a way, so he wasn't the type to panic or call the police when he saw one.

"You know since no one is around this Alleyway at this time, and it'll be a while before the cops get here, why don't we have a little fun with this one?" The so-called hero says as the other guy smirks, Izuku quickly realizes what they're planning, and is disgusted to no end. As such, he decided to step out of the corner.
