   Midoria is told that he will never be a hero because he is only human. He leaves that room broken and lost. He doesn't want to give up he has to find a way to be a hero! But everyone tells him it's a lost cause.

Midoria spends his days watching hero's examining there quirks and how they use them. Then one day he finds google. It's an old search engine from before the quirk wars. Curious he looks up hero's, he dives into the world of hero's long past ones that never existed.

Days pass in a blur when he finally re-emerges from his room he has a different out look. He can be a hero not the best, but he can be a hero. He finds a place to start his training.

Takoba municipal beach is covered in trash. He glances around then goes to lift up some of the smaller trash. It's surprisingly easy. He tries lifting a microwave it comes easily. Izuku stares wide eyed at the microwave then at his arms. They have practically no muscle. Izuku pulls out his phone.

After a while researching he still hasn't found answers frustrated he punches the concrete wall next to him. Then freezes. Glancing at the wall he just put his hand through. Looking at his hand it barely has a scratch on it. Thinking fast izuku looked up what concrete is made out of. Then cross references it with the answer's that come up on goggle.

Concrete is weaker than it was before quirks. Izuku stands there as images of hero's getting thrown through walls pop up in his mind then the microwave he lifted earlier. Was everything weaker than before quirks?... where people weaker than before quirks? No that's impossible! But he still looks up the density of bones from today and then on goggle. Bones are significantly weaker than they were before.

Izuku rapidly spirals into looking up everything he can think of. When he finally re-emerges he is changed once again. He now knows that he is actually much stronger than anyone today that didn't have a quirk specially for strength.

With his world view flipped he feels the need to get far away from everyone. To be alone to process. Izuku collects some supply's to stay in the woods for a few days and leaves his mom a note before heading for the nearest forest.

...

Izuku spends most of his free time in the woods after that day. He finds it peaceful. He can run and scream and build little contraptions and capture small animal for food and gather berries. He finds peace for the first time since he was four and his world was shattered.

Now instead of rushing to his room to hide, after school. He rushes to change then runs all the way to the wood. Where he leaves his shoes that pinch anyway. Running into the woods silent and unseen. He blends right in. He learns how to trap and kill then prepare animals to eat. His stronger jaws able to chew the meat, and plants he gathers easily.

His mom worries when he comes back covered in mud and what she thinks might be blood but he is just so happy. So she leaves him be.

The kids at school start to notice that he looks distracted. They push him around as they always have but he no longer seems to care. Then as the days pass they can't touch him at all; their hands just missing him. Until they no longer try.

Bakugo is furious deku no longer looks up to him in fear and wonder. He doesn't look at him at all. He blows up his note books and throws taunts. But izuku doesn't look up. As the days pass bakugo grows tired of the non response and stops altogether. 

Izuku barely notices as the bullying that has been going on for so long stops. He is too busy learning as much as he can about the world before quirks. He does all his homework on Monday then turns it in over the week. He pays no attention in class but the teachers don't care.

Every afternoon he slips away into the woods where he is excepted without question. His strength and cunning grows with every day. He doesn't notice anymore that no once sees him when he walks by. How people struggle to lift things that weight nothing to him. Time passes, slipping through the cracks and crevices. Izuku slips unseen and unheard.
