Time passed quickly, and soon Hitoshi and Izuku had finished their Elementary school years and were heading up to Middle school.

"Just to think, three more years and we can get into Yuuei!" Hitoshi grinned. Izuku nodded happily in agreement.

"And Aizawa-Oji-san said he was going to start training with us this year! So, even if we can't pass the entrance exam, we can still get into the General Ed course and get into the hero course after the Sports Festival." Izuku added, they were just heading back home after their first day. "Come to think of it, I had an idea last night for a possible idea for a hero costume design. I wanted to show it to you to get your opinion on it."

"You have a costume idea already?" Hitoshi smirked at him, Izuku gave him look.

"Oh come on, we thought of, what, 20 heroes names each when we were 5," Izuku replied, Hitoshi laughed.

"Yeah, some of them were terrible..." He shook his head.

"Brainwave was a cool name though, it sounds so awesome!" Izuku told him. Hitoshi smiled in reply.

"The names you choose...I don't think any of them would suit you now." Hitoshi admitted.

"True... I guess I should rethink them. The Analyst hero - " Izuku stopped. "We can come up with something later."

"Or you could be the muttering hero." Hitoshi smirked, referring to the times Izuku would often be so lost in thought and mutter his own thoughts out loud. Izuku blushed slightly.

"Hey, I'm trying to break that habit." He pouted.

"Maybe you shouldn't," Hitoshi said. "You even said it helps you remember more. I am sure Nezu Sensei has his own little habits like that. I bet most heroes do." Izuku suddenly looked thoughtful, to a point he actually stopped. "Izuchan?" He looked at his friend.

"You just gave me a brilliant idea! Let's hurry back, I need to get this down!" Izuku said and the boys rushed back to Midoriya's place. Midoriya-san and Shinso-san greeted the boys from the kitchen and smiled as they rushed upstairs.

"Something's will never change will they?" Shinso-san smiled

"I hope not, those boys are still as energetic as ever." Midoriya-san agreed. "Do you think they remember Aizawa-san and Nezu-san are coming over for dinner to discuss their training?"

"Probably not." Shinso-san shook her head, the women laughed softly.

"This is the design, right?" Hitoshi looked at a drawing on Izuku's desk.

"The Original on, yes. But, you gave me an idea." Izuku smiled. "I mutter a lot, whilst others may see it as a stupid thing, or annoying, I can still use it. He got a blank piece of paper and drew a head shape on the page. "At first, I wanted eye gear that would work like a computer screen whilst still allowing me to see, That way, all the notes I made over the years could be inputted the information will be there, of course, new information being added." Izuku began to draw. "But, It would be easier to input it whilst on the field, so if I had something like this... I could input information myself and access it whenever I want!" He finished and smiled.

"Um...It's a good design, but what if a villain had boost hearing, he could hear you muttering, and if you work as a team..." Hitoshi frowned slightly. Izuku thought about it carefully. "You'd need something that basically works like Aizawa-Oji-san's goggles..."

"Like a mouth guard!" Izuku beamed. He began to draw once more. "One that would cover my mouth, and soundproof... yet, allows me to breathe..."

"Add something that could allow you to access air from somewhere," Hitoshi suggested.

"Like air holes... Oh, what if the mask had air holes that could be opened by pressing a button on the side. That way, I could press it to make notes, but press is again to allow me to breathe?" Izuku asked

"Sounds far to complicated. We need to make it simpler... What if it was voice activated?" Hitoshi asked, Izuku leaned back on his chair.

"That would make it easier...but I would need a word to activate it... I plan to have a belt, would it be better to have, like a hidden button or switch on there?" Izuku asked

"Like a decoy bag?" Hitoshi grinned. "Several mini bags, but one acts like a switch. Unless there is a material out there that will allow me to breathe, whilst remaining soundproof."

"I guess we should as Aizawa-Oji-san, it would be so much easier to know what is and isn't possible." Izuku nodded. "I'll show him the design..."

"Boy's dinner!" Midoriya-san called. "And Aizawa-san and Nezu-san are here."

"They were coming today!" Izuku gasped, He grabbed the design, and the two of them headed downstairs.

"Good evening!" Principle Nezu smiled.

"Good Evening Nezu-sensei, Aizawa-sensei." the boys greeted. Over dinner, Nezu explained how the training would go for the boys, whilst Izuku was trying to build up the courage to ask about the costume idea. But, he didn't want to seem like a fool asking, there was still three years to go after all. Hitoshi watched his friend, and whilst their mother's got pudding ready, he decided to spare his friends.

"Aizawa-Sensei. Can we get your opinion on this design?" Hitoshi grabbed the paper from Izuku and passed it to the pro hero. Aizawa took it and looked at it, Nezu looked too.

"A very impressive idea. For you, I presume, Midoriya-kun?" Nezu smiled.

"Yeah... Toshichan pointed out that I tend to mutter when taking new notes on quirks, and if I can't break the habit, why not use it to work for me. But, for that idea, I.." Izuku muttered.

"You need a mask that will allow you to breath normal whilst also being Soundproof," Aizawa said. "That's one way of doing things. I can ask a friend of mine working as a support, I am sure they'll come up with something."

"Really? Thank you Aizawa-sensei!" Izuku smiled.

"So, that's what you were worried about?" Midoriya-san smiled. Izuku nodded embarrassed.

"Thinking ahead isn't something to be ashamed of young Midoriya-kun. I think it is a good idea to work on a design now, that way you know works and what doesn't." Nezu said.

"Right!" The boys smiled.
