Oh come on, the reason you all are here is because you also had the idea "What if Midoriya was a girl?". You may have also thought "Maybe nothing would have changed, but I wanna see what others think". Well you have came to the (sort of) right story! This is My Hero Academy with a twist: Midoriya is a female! *Enter oh-so-shocked gasp*

And no, this won't be a script of the anime with Midoriya's being a girl. There will be plot changes, unexpected events, and perhaps a dash of genuine romance. Still plenty of action that would even make Akira Toriyama jealous. Any ideas you have for this story? Don't be afraid to tell, cause I'm an idiot who also needs help.

Enjoy!

"Class, I have graded all of your tests and I find certain grades to be extremely pathetic." The teacher announced. Most of the class laughed, including Katsuki, an honors student. "Mr. Bakugo happened to have the highest grade of this class."

Katsuki only crossed his legs on his desk with a smug look.

"'Course I did. I'm going to get accepted to the Hero Academy." He said, showing off the small explosions in his hand. As expected, the whole class stared in awe before showing off their own perks. One person only scooted back in their chair to hide even more.

"No quirks are allowed to be used in school! You know it is against the rules!" The teacher yelled over the rowdy students. Once it settled down, the man sighed and looked at his record.

"And Bakugo, I think that is a wonderful goal to strive for. In fact, you and I believe Ms. Midoriya are the ones who wrote about attending there."

The ash blonde teen stoned as a small 'eep' was heard from the back of the classroom.

"N-N-Not that it's important o-or anything..." Izuku mumbled when the whole class stared at her shaking figure while Katsuki was still frozen. The bell rang before the kids could make comments and they all dashed out, laughing and joking. Izuku would have done just the same, running out that is, if it wasn't for Katsuki turning around slowly with a dangerous look.

"Deeekuuuu..." He growled with a vein popping out. Izuku paled pathetically and grabbed her hero reference book to hide her face, knowing what to expect as he marched over.

"K-Kacchan! I-I swear I'm not trying to compete, I just really like the idea of being a hero and there wasn't anything else I would do s-since-" She rambled, pausing when he grabbed the book and threw it out the open window. "My reference!" She yelled, jolting when he slammed a hand down at her desk.

"What do you need a reference for anyway? You don't even have a quirk! What's even more pitiful is that you think you have a shot at being a hero with no ability!" Katsuki yelled, somehow even more fueled by her constant whimpering.

"I-I-It's just... my dream..." She responded. She knew she did not have a quirk. It used to be common for humans to not have quirks. Over time, however, the new generation began to grow with special abilities since the very first observation of a glowing baby. Izuku was the only one in her family who did not have a quirk, and the only one in school who could not show off a peculiar talent.

"The hell are you mumbling about?" Izuku flushed. She was not aware of herself doing so, which she likely did talk to herself judging by Katsuki's irritated stare.

"Ah nothing."

"Point is, you're worthless. So what if you get accepted, even just by that unlikely chance? It's not like you can do anything unique. Face it Deku, you're the only ordinary kid. Well, not ordinary now." He finalized, cracking several small red bursts in his hand. Izuku watched with mild interest. She still looked up to Katsuki and she always had since she was young no matter how vicious he could be. His arrogant, fiery personality always filled her with a desire to be a little more prideful just like him.

"Hey, Katsuki! We were supposed to head to the arcade." A friend of Katsuki's mentioned from the classroom door. Katsuki ignored him in favor of leaning his head in very closely toward Izuku's with furrowed brows.

"Don't apply for the academy." He threatened lowly. Izuku had heard this plenty of times, but each time Katsuki's warned her, she considered listening for that moment. She could not give up on a dream, however, no matter how much everyone else wanted her to.

A while later when she just noticed their closeness, her freckled cheeks immediately reddened. It seemed like Katsuki noticed as well, because his face tinged and he jerked upright with a large scowl.

"The hell is your problem!?" Was his sudden outburst as he kicked her desk across the room. Izuku jumped in her seat from the violent action while shaking when Katsuki grabbed his bag and marched off to meet his friends, glaring at her from the corner of his eyes.

Her problem? She did not have one in fact. Perhaps, she does and did not want to admit that to anyone or herself. No matter how any times she gets pushed around by people, Izuku dedicated herself to her dream. She was already teased for wanting to be a hero despite her gender and physical stature. That is, her shy personality, her being short, and her untamed green hair. It was like an invisible standard made it okay for the boys to have the unimaginable, gravity defying hair and her hair was just a sight to laugh at.

"... My reference book!" Izuku quickly moved her desk back and grabbed her own school bag before heading out in a rush. There were still straggling teens in the corridors as she made her way out the school building. She would only feel even more shame each time she saw a student show a quirk to a friend. Why was she the only one without a quirk? Why was her life so unfortunate as to having bullies who wished for her death everyday, and a mother who did not quite understand her situation?

"Don't they know that if I did commit suicide, they could be sentenced for assisted manslaughter?" She muttered to herself. At least she has a dream to hold onto. Nobody knew why she was so determined. People even deemed Izuku as a 'weirdo' for having a passion for something that was impossible to reach. There was only one man to thank: All Might.

"This isn't food..." Izuku mumbled, gently grabbing her reference book from the fountain which contained fish that were nibbling at the cover. The fish darted away and she shook off the water from the notebook, hoping the ink did not smudge too much. "What an unfortunate day. Luckily, I'm used to this by now. Just one more year of Junior High..."

Looking up to All Might was possibly one of best life decisions she has ever made. Every time Izuku stared up at a poster of the number one hero, her mind happily would fill with imagination. She would idly sketch costumes in her notebook and have some hope they would gain a quirk. Without All Might, she most likely would have taken a chance on the school roof as suggested by several classmates.

"Tell me... just what do I have to do to be right by your side...?" She whispered, holding the book to her chest. "How can I become a hero as a quirkless being?"

Not too far behind, a man with a permanent bright smile from behind a tree hummed interestedly.
