"DEKU!"

Turning around, Izuku wasn't given the time to see who called out his nickname. But he knew who it was when he was blasted through the hallway by an explosion rammed into his chest.

"What was all that shit, shitty nerd!?" He spat out, his palms emitting pint-sized explosions. "Huh? Come on! Answer me!"

"What?" Izuku mumbled while he scrambled up to his feet.

Setting off another explosion, Katsuki started to attract a crowd throughout the hall, though he paid no mind to any of them. "What did you do yesterday?" He clarified. "You're Quirkless! But... But you killed that guy! Tell me how you did it!"

"Do not tell him," Shiori ordered, floating off toward the side. "He may find out eventually, but it is too dangerous now. You are not powerful enough."

With a very minute nod, Izuku kept his hands at his side and made eye contact with Katsuki. "I... I don't know."

"How the fuck do you not know!?" The blonde boy exclaimed, stepping closer to his target. "What the fuck is on your head?"

"About that..." Izuku started before sorting through all of his options.

"Well? Answer me!" He shouted once more, making the crowd curious too.

Opening his mouth, Izuku was still thinking of the most reasonable excuse he could come up with. All of a sudden, the bell rang.

'Saved by the bell.' The freckled boy thought, closing his mouth.

"We'll settle this later, Deku." The blonde student told him. Walking past the freckled boy, Katsuki made an explosion right behind him, startling the green-eyed-student. Chuckling to himself, he went to class.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku readjusted his bag. Then, he glanced at Shiori who just smiled at him. With one deep sigh, he strolled to his classroom.

In there, he had the protection of the teacher, though he knew that wouldn't last forever. Each student in his class glanced at him with suspicion. And he knew that all of them wanted something from him. Half would want to be his friends while the others would desire an explanation.

Thankfully, he had something distract him. Well, more like someone to distract him.

Unseen by the others, Shiori flew around the room, though she could only go so far away from Izuku. Nonetheless, she flew around the room and talked a little about each student. She had first spoken about raw power, then moved onto being a hero, and after that the student's potential power.

Finally, she had flown over to Izuku.

"The only power output I can note is physical strength, which is quite low," she started, already making Izuku pout. "Though your pure willpower and personal motivation make it highly likely you would become a hero. With my power of course."

'Then why did you choose me? Kacchan would've been a better choice.' The boy responded.

"Because your potential is quite limitless." Now she had piqued his interest. "Since you lack a Quirk, you have an easily accessible slot in your genetic code, which allows me to give you demonic powers much more easily."
