I walked downstairs. I went through a place that was quiet, when I found my notebook in a little pond. I did a light laugh when I saw a Koi push the book to another, who tried to eat it.

"Sorry, that isn't for eating, buddy." I mumbled as I pulled my notebook out of the water. I continued walking home when I heard a message on the Intercom.

*Students, please be cautious as you leave. We have been notified that a Villain has been seen in the neighborhood. Please hold precautions as you all leave to home. Thank you.*

I went through a small tunnel, it was a shortcut home, somewhat. When I got out, I was under the cover of some trees. I got up and dusted myself off. I started walking again. I wonder what type of knife or dagger would fit in my hand...wait! Why am I even thinking about things like this!? Well...I guess I think about these things every now and then, since I have an exceptionally good skill when it comes to weapons, and was stronger than a normal person. If someone saw me using a weapon, they'd give me a nickname that includes something weird...yeah. I don't want to carry a weapon.

Suddenly, something slimy found it's way into my mouth and around my body. I clawed at the substance, only to realize this thing was somebody who activated their Quirk. Wait...is this the Villain that we were notified to be careful of?

"Stop fighting, kid. It's only gonna hurt more. If you stay still for another 45 seconds, nothing will hurt, Okay?" I looked backwards to find two big eyes, and big mismatched teeth in the shape of a grin. With the way he says it, you would think he's doing something perverted. I thought as I fought harder, but everything was fading. My eyesight was getting darker by the second.

"Texas Smash!!" I heard a voice boom right before I lost consciousness. I also caught a glimpse of two tall stalks of yellow hair on a man's head. I could only get two words out.

"Al..l....Mig..ht..?"

I felt someone slapping my face repeatedly. It was annoying that I couldn't move or open my eyes for at least thirty seconds.

My eyes finally opened, and I saw a person that I looked up to squatting in front of me, holding a bag of groceries and two big soda bottles.

"Good! You're awake! Are you feeling well?" He asked, and I called out his name in surprise.

"I just wanted to say thank you, for helping me catch this villain!!" He held up the two bottles. "He's been causing quite the ruckus around here lately!" I just stared and blinked at him, still letting the information sink in. I couldn't believe that the 'No. 1 Hero' was right in front of me!

"I'm sorry young one, I must leave!" He said as he crouched down and was about to jump. Without even wanting to, I grabbed onto his legs as we flew into the air. It was exciting, but that wasn't the problem. He told me to let go, and I wasn't about to. We were at least 200 meters in the air. If I let go, I would plummet to my death. So he landed on the roof of an apartment building and I let go. He was about to leave again when I called after him.

"Wait, All Might!" He hesitated. "I just want to know, i-is it possible for a Q-Quirkless person like me to become a 'H-Hero'?"
