Son of the Greatest Swordsman

Weakness and Power

Ok, so this is the first chapter folks. A few quick understandings before we get into this. Izuku knows his father his Hawkeye due to overhearing a conversation Inko had on the phone with Mitsuki. Hawkeye as I mentioned in Story Ideas absolutely clueless Izuku is his son. Instead of All Might he idolizes the most, Izuku idolizes his father and wants to meet him one day before he goes to the quirk doctor. Also, UA is a college so everyone is aged up a little. Enjoy.

Izuku POV age 5:

"Mom, lets go!" Today was a special day. It was the day I was going to find out my quirk. "Alright sweetie, just give me a moment." Mom was putting her shoes on with me running around excited to finally get to find out what I was going to have for a quirk. I would finally be able to find out what my future would hold as a hero. "Alright sweetie, lets head to the car." I ran to the car in anticipation smiling. 'Maybe if it's a strong enough quirk, dad will finally come home and visit. I know mom would like that, and I can show him that I'm gonna be a great hero like him. Please hurry mom! I can't wait!'

At the doctors after the tests

"Sorry kid, but your not getting a quirk." I froze as the doctor said this. "I don't understand doctor, why can't he?" The doctor puts an X-ray of a foot up and starts saying why. "You see, when a quirk manifests, there normally is an alteration in the pinky toe here where there is an absence or addition of one joint. This points out individuality in the way of speaking and normally indicates a quirk. However, you can clearly see that your son has a second joint in his pinky, so it's safe to say he will not get a quirk." I felt my world crumble at this. All I wanted was to be a strong hero so dad can notice us and come back home. I just wanted dad to come home to us for once. I was about to cry, but couldn't. All I could do is just sit there motionless as all the hopes I could have were gone.

That night

When it was close to bed time, mom came into my room to see me watch dad slice a ship in two with his large sword. "Izuku sweetie, it's almost time for bed." I couldn't turn to her, but only cried as I heard dad say something to the villains. "You truly thought this fleet was enough to invade, how foolish. Power will only adhere to power and ignore the weak. You all were a waste of my time." "...Mom, does dad never come home because he thinks were weak?" Mom didn't say anything as I see her reflection with her crying as an answer. "I don't care if I'm quirkless mom. I'm going to become a person dad will have to acknowledge. *sniffle* I'll be the only thing I can be that he will see as someone he can't ignore." I started to cry at my shouting. "I'm gonna become the greatest swordsman in the world and beat dad! He has to notice us if I do that right!?" Mom hugged me as her tears fell on me. "If you want to, then well see what we can do. I'm sorry that this happened Izuku. I'm so sorry." As I cried, I clenched my fist in anger knowing my life would become hard going forward.

Few days later

As the days going forward happened, Kaachan started to pick on me along with everyone else about me being quirkless. I didn't care though. My goal wasn't to be a hero, but to become a swordsman that can beat dad. Mom helped me by looking at dojo's for me to train in. They all were willing to accept me, but turned me down when they found out I was quirkless. I wanted to yell and scream every time someone would change their mind and say no to a point I started to lose it the second we got out of the door. Finally, we came to the 28th dojo that we would visit with the man hesitant to bring me in due to my quirklessness. I saw his face as it went from happy to one of worry. I jumped up from my seat and began to beg him.

"Pleas sir, just give me a chance! I want to be strong so I can become a swordsman, but nobody wants to give me a chance! All I want to do is learn here, so please don't turn me away like everyone else!" I was shaking and clenching my fists in anger as I said this. "Hmmm, normally we don't accept quirkless students since it can be dangerous for them. You will need to put yourself into your training more than anyone else. Understand?" I looked at him with ready eyes and nodded. "Welcome aboard Izuku Midoriya. Training starts tomorrow." He held his hand out with me shaking it. We walked home that day with mom picking up the schedule and showing me when it is.
