The Quirked and the Quirkless (MHA)

Inquiring

His dad didn't like that he was in the hero course.

Did Izuku Midoriya care?

Not a bit.

Izuku was tired, terribly so. It had been a week since All For One's outrageous request of filling up the hero course, and Izuku thinks he did a nice job. He had gotten back in contact with Tokoyami, and his sudden homelessness, and surprisingly, UA seemed completely fine with it.

Except for the fact that one of his teachers went to Tokoyami's parents, claimed custody, and now is Tokoyami's dad or mom, but Tokoyami himself didn't reveal said teacher's identity. Which had his whole mini circle of 1-A and 1-B friends making conspiracy theories.

"I bet it's Yamada-sensei!" Ashido said.

Hagakure snorted, "Impossible. Tokoyami and Yamada? Impossible."

"Maybe it's the teacher barely anyone knows about," Kaminari pitched in.

"The caterpillar dude?" Sero asked.

"Yep."

Izuku ate his sandwich.

"So Midori, how's the hero course?" Uraraka asked.

Izuku shrugged, "Pretty boring. I'm looking for more classmates."

And thus started everyone at the lunch table signing up for the hero course.

"That was... Quick," All For One stated rather bluntly.

"If I knew it was this easy sooner, it would've been quicker," Izuku said. "But anyway, here is the list."

All For One raised a brow at some of the names, "Bakugo Katsuki, Kaminari Denki, Uraraka Ochako, Ashido Mina, Sero Hanta, Tokoyami Fumikage... Hagakure Tooru..."

Izuku analyzed his reaction, "They can all be heroes."

"Yaoyorozu Momo? From the Yao&Corps?"

"Yes."

"Her? A hero?" All For One was pretty disbelieving.

"You can always choose your own students, that offer is always open."

All For One didn't question Izuku's choices after that.

~~~

"Are you Midoriya Izuku?"

"Yes...? And you're looking for me because?"

"I need your help!"

Izuku stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I want to be a hero, Midoriya Izuku," A blonde kid had come up to Izuku and said one day, "Help me get into the hero course."

It took Izuku a while to realize that was Monoma Neito, and that he had met him at the normal cursed park. "You want my help to become a hero?"

"Yes," Monoma said. "I've always liked helping, but not as much as you... Everyone's so closed off to each other, we're constantly against each other and I want to change that."

Izuku hummed as if considering the decision, "But why do you want to change that? Why not just stay the same like everyone?"

Monoma sighed, "I'm sick of it. I hate how cruel humans can be to each other and I've seen it. What's the point in being so shitty so everyone you meet? They'll just be shitty back and then a cycle starts. I want to break that cycle. Instead of making everyone around me pissed, I want them to have a good day."
