    Summary

    "I can't believe it!" The green-haired guy exclaimed. "There are twenty kids after the Quirk apprehension test! You even have a mini you!"

    "Midoriya." Their homeroom teacher warned in a tired tone. "Calm down"

    "I CAN'T! You haven’t expelled anyone yet this year!"

    Wait! Wasn't that just a logical ruse?

    Summary

    Juxtapose. Verb, meaning: to place two things together in a contrasting manner. In this case, two points of divergence.

    Izuku Midoriya, an aspiring Hero with a useless Quirk, is heartbroken when his lifelong idol tells him to reconsider his options. He doesn't know what else to do but cry in the park until a husk of a man offers him ice cream. The man, named Toshinori Yagi, tells Izuku that he might still have a chance: If he worked hard and entered Yuuei's General Education program, then he could potentially transfer into the Hero Course if he won the Sports Festival.

    With a new path forward and a mentor to guide him, Izuku takes a very different road towards becoming a hero.

    Summary

    In an immensely convoluted way, quirks proved that the greatest power was the human mind. People, before quirks, used to say the greatest power is thought. The human brain, a complicated organ powered by tiny pulses of electricity could beat any idiot with a couple firecrackers popping between their fingers.

    When villains, with lightning bolts at their fingertips, could be bested by a hero whose only power was to manipulate fabric, it became increasingly obvious that power lies in how you used your mind.

    Unfortunately for Izuku, he challenged the one person- man? Animal? Creature? Creature.- that’s power increased their mind.

    But, maybe, just maybe, he could win this wager.

    - -

    U.A has a rule that prevents Quirkless students from applying.

    Izuku, in an attempt to get the rule removed, ends up challenging Principal Nedzu to a wager of wits.
