You stood next to your father who held his wound, you wanted to save the kid being captured by the sludge villian. You really did, but using your quirk on someone would be against the rules unless you had a license.

Your father would definitely say no to you volunteering to save him since it would be 'too dangerous.'  So that was off the chart.

Maybe you could fall into the villain? Then using your quirk against him would be self defence.

The same boy from before ran into the villain and started clawing at it.

Your father being the heroic man he is, transformed into his muscular self and charged into battle. "Dad!" You whispered

He punched the villain so hard that the weather actually changed and you stood there in the rain, how am can I ever live up to him? You thought with your hands clenched.

All the bystanders ran to your father and showered him in photos, you got cut out off a lot of them. Some people did take photos of you, but mainly for media about your father.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗L

Your father ran into a random alleyway and you had no other choice but to follow him, he was very over protective of you. It made sense since he was the number one hero, villains would do anything to make him upset.

He came face to face with the green haired boy again. "He's everywhere." She mumbled and stood next to her father.

He started going on a big rampage about something media and being All might, he was wasting all his energy so she touched his hand and he coughed and turned into his smaller form.

She quickly gave his quirk back.

"You told me you didn't have a power, so when I saw this quirkless boy try to save a life, it inspired me to act." Your father thanked the boy and you stood there quietly.

"One thing about all heroes, their body moved before they could think." Those words made you freeze, you haven't had your hero moment yet. You told yourself that being a hero ran in your blood but were you truly a hero?

The boy started sobbing and you stared at him awkwardly, you never really knew how to comfort someone or even know how they feel.

"I deem you worthy of my power. My quirk is yours to inherit." The words you longed to hear from your father rang in your ears, but not to you. To someone else. You knew it was selfish to want to inherit One for All since you already had a quirk.

But the other users of One For All had two quirks, why couldn't you? Obviously you weren't as jealous as you thought you'd be, but it still stung a bit.

Of course the boy was confused, most people didn't know that some quirks could be inherited.

Your father laughed hysterically at the boys face.

He explained what One For All was and the boy was skeptical, rightfully so.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗N

You held up a large fridge and wobbled around, your father made this scrawny boy work out so he could inherit One For All. He also made with clean the beach since it was good for health.

You groaned in pain as you carried the fridge, you were quite pampered as a child so you never had to carry much. Your father was always scared that you'd get hurt but you were pretty oblivious as a child so you always had bruises and cuts.

Somehow you didn't hear the countless times that your father had said 'Young Midoriya.' So you only found out now that was his last name.

"This is torture." You huffed and dropped the fridge in front of you, jumping back so it didn't fall on your feet.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗M

The next months were like hell, you lifted, swam, ran and studied endlessl.

You would complain a ton but every time you seen your body in a reflection you would feel prettier each time. You were always pretty as a kid, a ton of kids had crushes on you but were way too nervous because of your status.

Kirishima and you weren't hanging out as much, you tried to make time in your schedule to go to the park or the gym with him but your schedule was packed with training and studying.

Thankfully, Kirishima was raised right by his parents and said it was fine every time you apologized. He must've also been training super hard because he was getting pretty fit.

Not only you and Kirishima but also Midoriya, everyone was getting fitter as UA entrance exams were rolling around, yours was tomorrow.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗T

You walked through the entrance, a familiar two toned haired boy caught your eye. You didn't know if it really was him but the amount of people with a perfect split of two features was very rare, especially red and white.

You went to walk towards him but a large guy with a buzz cut beat you to it and you frowned, oh well.

You walked into a large room and sat down, they gave you a pen and paper. The written test was first and it wasn't as hard as you thought, either it was easy or you burned the words into your brain.

Anyhow you finished after the two-toned hair man, a girl with a high ponytail, the buzz cut guy and a green haired girl.

You didn't really have to do the interview for long, Principal Nezu had already known you for so long it was basically pointless, but if they didn't then it seemed like you go in for being the number one hero's daughter and not for actual talent.

The practical exam was what you were worried for. You stood next to a guy with strange teeth and the buzz cut guy.

The exam started and you quickly touched both of the hands of the people beside you, the boy with strange teeth must've not had a serious drawback since you didn't feel anything.

Some people didn't have drawbacks but they did have weaknesses, they were your favourite people since you didn't feel pain when you stole their power, however when some did have a quirk without any painful drawbacks then your fingers would become numb.

You ran in front of the two, you were right behind Todoroki as you ran as fast as your legs would take you. You gritted your teeth in pain as your hands slowly became numb.

The mark on your cheek slowly travelling to your chin as it glowed. The buzz cut guy was still fast and had managed to pass you, with a sigh you managed to touch his hand and he flew past you and Todoroki.

You ended up in 6th place. You knew that your quirk wasn't suited for getting somewhere quickly but you thought you were going to be 3rd, you failed to realize the other people down the line.
