Izuku was currently walking towards a C-rank gate. A few hours prior, he had seen advertisements for a porter for a C-rank dungeon offering over 2 hundred thousand yen for just a porter and was amazed by the amount of money.

'There might be something else going on, I need to be careful,' thought Izuku as he signed the contract their leader had shown him.

He then felt a pat on his shoulder and turned to see a raven-haired boy.

"Hello, my name is Ichigo Yaoyorozu, I was called here for the same reason as you. Nice to meet you," said the guy, as Izuku was a little concerned seeing another kid, and this one was going to participate in combat. However, his equipment, which was a legit armor, made him fun to watch.

"My name is Izuku Midoriya," said Izuku as he shook his hand.

"Isn't taking three kids into a dungeon a little reckless?" asked the third kid, a blonde boy with a lightning bolt across it.

"Hi, my name's Denki Kaminari, nice to meetcha," he said with a grin.

"Wow, three kids. What's your rank?" asked Ichigo to Denki.

"Well, I'm a D," said Kaminari.

"I'm an E," said Izuku with a nonchalant shrug.

"So that's why you're a porter. Well, don't worry, when push comes to shove, we'll protect you," said Ichigo.

"I... don't think I'll need that," said Izuku with a sweatdrop.

"Hey, are you quirkless? Because your form here says so," said a guy as others tried to suppress their laughter.

"Yeah, I am. Is there a problem?" asked Izuku with a sharp tone, one which promised pain. Though only Ichigo and Kaminari caught on to it, and they were now mildly amused.

'Hmm... quirkless? As if it matters, he seems pretty strong to me. Like my instincts are screaming to be wary of him. It would be better to not get on his bad side,' thought Kaminari.

He was a pretty impressive hunter. Even though he was only 15, he was trained by one of the best, and already had an A-rank quirk with limitation he overcame by hard work and a C-rank awakening, further boosting his power almost to S-rank. Keyword: Almost. Though he could reach S-rank with training, it would be hard. Really hard. Only 3 people had done it, one was Cha Hae In, a Korean hunter whose power was A-rank, one was a hooded guy very few people knew about. People only knew he was an S-rank because he put one in hospital.

And the third being his teacher. A C-rank awakening. However, he had gained a peculiar power, with which even though his Mana was B-rank at the best, his ability was what made him possibly the strongest in the world.

Anyways, Ichigo was having thought along the same line.

"Now now, he is just a porter who is filling in. Let's not make him uncomfortable," said the leader of the group with a smile, which though looked sincere at the surface, was very sinister.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were all walking towards the gate, as everyone was discussing about the unfinished construction.

'God... why me?' was all Izuku could think. Now he wasn't rude by a long shot. Nor did he not like to talk. However... this kind of talk was just not his forte. Now hero fanboying? Check. Quirks? Check. History? Check. Advanced Quantum computing? OH HELL YEAH! Construction and money? God, no.

"... So why are you here Midoriya san?" asked Ichigo.

"Huh? Oh, because... well, I need to support myself and my sister," said Izuku. Somehow, he felt he could be truthful with these two guys, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu.

"Oh... that's a very nice and brave thing Midoriya," said Kaminari.

"Why are you both here?" asked Izuku.

"Well, I want to become a hero, so I am here for the firsthand experience of a life-or-death, or at least a genuine risky scenario with less danger, since as a hero we will constantly face that. If I can't save myself, how will I ever be able to save other?" said Kaminari seriously.

"My reason is pretty much the same, but I also want to make enough money to be able to live independently..." said Ichigo.

"And why is that?" asked Izuku.

"I am too dependent on my parents. Just because they're rich, I used to think everything is for free and nothing cant be bought with money. But when I opened my eyes and saw the reality, people starving, villains wreaking havoc, the way society treated quirkless and those with weak or villainous quirk, I knew someone had to make a change. But how could I from behind a chair and in a room? So to make a change, I need to understand them better. So I need to start by earning money and live like a normal person, not a royalty. That's why I even rejected entering UA using recommendation unlike my sister," said Ichigo.

Izuku was silent. All his life, he had seen himself surrounded by fake heroes. He knew it, but he chose to ignore it. even after being surrounded by those who wanted to become a hero for money or fame, he had held onto this hope, that there is still goodness in people. He was on his last strand when All Might shot down his dreams.

Though not exactly, All Might had said, 'A quirkless hero. I... I don't think you should. I am not saying it's impossible, but... there are some villains who are just way too dangerous. It's okay to dream, but be realistic. However... if you really want to, give it a shot. Just know, the world is a very dangerous place. Think and decide.'

YES! All Might hadn't downright rejected my dream, unlike the Anime. He encouraged yet warned me at the same time. He isn't that much muscle headed in this fic. Thanks, author, I really don't like it when people make All Might look like a villain in a fic. I mean, yeah the stories are good and stuff, but I idolize him. It's difficult for me to see fics where I rant about him and despise him.

(I know, I know. Now stop rambling and let me finish the chapter. -_-)

Jeez, don't be like that.

Anyways. So the point is, he had almost given up on encountering people who wanted to become actual heroes, not the titular ones. But now, he was smiling, and he didn't even notice that.

Kaminari saw this and he grinned too. I mean, he was called old-fashioned, cliché, and a 'dunce-face' due to his views on this. Same with Ichigo. Ridiculed because he was more mature than others.

"You both are awesome, you know," said Izuku.

And thus they merrily chatted, without knowing that something was going to happen, which would change this temporary alliance to a permanent one.
