The quirkless hero

The exam

In seconds a robot jumped out at deku but he easily dodged its attack before grabbing its arm. With one swift tug the arm detached and Deku swung it full force in to the robots head. He gave himself a couple of seconds to find the sharpest shard of metal in the wreckage then took off make shift knife in hand. He had decided not to use the equipment he had brought with him unless there was an emergency. None of the other students appeared to of brought weapons, and he didn't want there to be any reason for the watching hero's to dismiss his skill.

Aizawa watched the blind quirkless boy with a sense of pride. Deku had been making short work of the robots and had garnered the attention of many of his colleagues.

"It's got to be a strength quirk." Argued vlad king.

"Then how does he know what's happening with that blindfold on," replied midnight annoyance evident in her voice.

"It's not a quirk." Said aizawa boredly.

"Not a what quirk Aizawa," questioned cementos.

"It's not an anything quirk." Said nezu, "he's quirkless."

Some teachers laughed others looked shocked, the laughs soon died down however when nezus expression didn't change.

"Your serious," muttered snipe.

"Him making it this far is extremely impressive," continued nezu watching the boy hop from robot to robot landing on their shoulders finishing them off quickly with efficient stab through the head. No unnecessary movement. "What worries me is his method."

Aizawa lifted his head slightly looking intently at the boy, his method was almost perfect wasn't it, his makeshift knife finishing off his opponents in seconds... then he saw it. The boys hands were bleeding, his weapon injuring him more with each stab. And yet what was visible of the boys face was completely unfazed, showing nothing but a cold determination.

Midnight was the next to notice, "his hands, their bleeding."

At the back of the room Toshinori watched on, guilt and regret gnawing at him. The boy was powerful and determined, and he the number one hero had rejected him. He also knew that the boy now held a festering hatred, one he himself had ignited. It worried him. He felt the boy was an easy target for villains to convert, an all for one in the making, he felt teaching him to become even more powerful would be dangerous, "while the boy is clearly skilled, the fact that he is quirkless will..."

"Don't even think about it..." said aizawa angrily, "if ua doesn't except him I'll train him myself."

"There will be no need for that aizawa," said nezu an unnerving glint in his eyes, "after all, he's already got 74 points."

"You know," said aizawa glaring directly at all might, " I actually met the kid this morning, I told him i expected him to do well."

All mights look of shock was apparent at this in fact most of the teachers seemed surprised.
"The look of surprise on his face before he smiled makes it seem like no ones ever told him he could do it before. Try to imagine going your hole life being told to give up on your dream but through pure determination and effort you make it happen anyway only to be told yes you passed the exam but no you cannot enrol as you were born inferior. Do you want him to hate us all might? Not got enough villains to keep your numbers high?"

"No of course not," replied a distraught All might, he almost couldn't believe it, he had made the same mistake again and izukus words rung clear in his head. "I hope you realize how lucky you are, that even after everything I have been through I still fully intend to be a hero," the words rung true even now, and almight swore to himself, he would not make the same mistake a third time. Even if it went against everything he knew he was going to try to believe in the quirkless boy.

Back in the arena deku was having fun even if his face didn't show it, the exam was easy almost laughably so, he even had time to help out other contestants.
Speaking of which his attention was caught by an angry yell followed by a few expletives. "I'm not even going to be able to get one point am I."  Deku didn't hesitate before darting over to the boy.

"Give me your hand" commanded izuku.
"What the hell do you want," replied the boy angerly. Izuku started to reply but found his mind went fuzzy and his mouth moved on its own. "I want to help you get at least one point".
"Why" questioned the boy his voice much more vunrable this time. Izuku reply stumbled unbidden from his mouth yet again, "at first I heard the anger in your voice and wanted to help, but when you used your quirk on me," the boy flinched at this obviously expecting a negative reaction, "a realized what an amazing hero you could be and how unfair it it that the exams so biased towards physical quirks"

Izuku was then released from the boys control and used his autonomy to ask for the boys hand again. The boy tentatively extended it and izuku removed his blindfolded tying it round the boys had, he didn't miss the sharp intake of breath when the boy saw his face. He was used to it, it didn't bother him anymore.

"What..." started the boy but deku spoke over him, "it'll cut you otherwise" he said as he pressed the sharp piece of metal into the boys now protected hand.  The boy gripped the piece of metal staring at Deku in confusion.
"Now," continued deku, there's a one pointer coming this way, "im going to take out its legs, you stab its head as hard as you can." Only now did the boy notice dekus own bleeding hands. He went to say something but before he could a one-pointer rocketed around the corner. Just like his word deku delivered a powerful kick to its legs causing it to slow right down, the boy noticed any slower and the robot would of been counted as immobilized, had deku done that on purpose? He didn't have time to think about it however as he rushed forwards putting all his effort in to a strike. The metal blade he'd been given sank though the head of the robot and it stopped completely, he'd just gotten his first point. He turned to thank his hero but deku was already gone, he wasn't going to give up now though with a new lease of life the boy-shinso ran forwards, he new he wasn't going to make in into the hero course with such a bad start but he was sure as hell going to get as many points as he could in the time he had left.

Deku hadn't planned on leaving so quickly but he had heard worrying rumbles from below the ground, instinct had taken over and he was headed straight to the origin. He got there quickly shouting to the numerous students fighting, "somethings coming you need to run" but they ignored him focusing on the robots, some even laughed at him. Annoyance rose in izukus chest, "this isn't a joke you need to run"
This time one of the other students was bold enough to retort, "and what let you get all these points, no way Scarface." At least three people laughed at this and izuku was done, if the robots were the only things stopping the students from getting to safety, he'd have to deal with them first. I better not be penalized for this he thought before pulling out both his guns, some of the students gasped but he ignored them as he shot all the near by robots, "I'm not fucking joking run!" It seemed the students had finally got the hint as they began to scatter but it wasn't quickly enough as a huge robot burst from the floor raining down rocks on the slower students. Izuku reloaded his guns firing up at the robot as he ran forwards, but the bullets had no effect he could hear them bouncing off. Then he heard a familiar yelp, the same yelp he'd heard earlier that day when he'd grabbed that girls arm. She was right in-front of the robot trapped by rubble. He had no choice she was about to be crushed, he activated his emp. The effect was instant, all the robots in the area ground to a hault, all except the giant robot which although it had powered off still had enough forward momentum to begin to tilt. Izuku was struck with horror at what was about to happen it was going to fall forward, crushing the girl. He doubted there was anything he could do to save her so why he through his own body over hers he didn't know, they would likely just both die now. He felt pathetic.

"YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA" screamed present mic the force of his voice simultaneously forcing the robot to fall backwards and making izukus ears bleed.

It took a while for izukus hearing to return and for him to realize what had happened. Getting of the girl he scooped her into his arms, her leg was injured and she'd need medical attention. He felt pretty stupid though, believing they'd let students die. The school had a reputation after all.
