Author note: Hey peeps, RPT here and I welcome you to a brand new story. I brought you all the ultimate weapon, now i bring the quirkless archer. So that means no OFA, no quirks what so ever. Izuku is all human in this one.
Now if you read any of my stories you know that I bring other character from other shows and what not. Same will happen here but not so much. This will be the most canon out of all my stories present and future. I will also be putting in music references in here so deal with it if you don't like it. Seriously I've been getting complaints about that. It's a modern anime set in the modern world, Hip-Hop and other music genres would clearly exist.
As for the pairing, it will be Melissa, but no Harem.
As for OFA I have already given it to somebody and no it's not miro. Nice guy and love his character but no OFA for him. You'll meet All Might successor in the next chapter and I think that most people will like and no it's not an original character.
Now let's read and enjoy the story.

Chapter 1: An old Hawk
Izuku Midoriya, a good kid with good grades, a good personality, and a kid with a big dream. What is that dream, well he wants to be a hero. Any ordinary person who would say "you can do it since you've got a quirk." Well Izuku is a one of those people who don't have quirks, which means he can't be a hero. Now, you would think that someone like Izuku would simply just give up, well you're wrong.
Izuku kept on fighting and believing in his dream even when others wouldn't. From his teachers, classmates, best friend who basically hates him now and told him to kill himself so that he can have a quirk, to even his own mother.
He went through all the hate and kept on believing that he could make it. All he needed was the right words from the right person, and who better than your idol and the number one hero, All Might.
He meet's All Might after a villain attack, jumps on his back, finds out that his idol is dealing with an injury that basically cripples his hero work to three hours, and after finding this all out Izuku had to ask him the question that made him get up in morning.
"Can I become a hero, even though I don't have quirk?"
You would think that an inspiring and charismatic hero like All Might would say "Yes, only if you work hard enough." Too bad that the person you idolize since childhood tells you that you can't do it and add insult to injury tells you that you should find another career and oh wait, here's the kicker your idol tells you that you should dream realistically.
Damn, that last one felt like All Might and everyone else that told Izuku he couldn't do it just kicked him right in the balls.
So now Izuku was on the rooftop that All Might left him on, standing there with a defeated look on his face. He started to walk to the door that would lead him off the roof and he looked at the door to the stairwell.
He was about to turn the knob, but then he had a woke moment. He came to realize that maybe his best friend was right. Maybe if he kill himself he could get quirk somewhere else, so he started to walk back to the edge of the roof.
Izuku looked down at the ground with a strained smile and with tears pouring down his eyes. The teen looked at the ground for a few minutes, and then he looked back up at city that he called his home for years.
Izuku thought about about his whole life and his family, which was just his mother. Hell he's the reason that she bloated up, she blamed herself for not giving him quirk.
Izuku took one last look at the city and then looked to the ground. "Everyone will be better off without me." After those words the teen jumped off roof. He didn't leave a suicide note, a final goodbye to his mom, nothing. He just lost all hope and decided to end it all.
As Izuku was falling to ground waiting with anticipation for the pavement to come in contact with his flesh and as this happened an old man saw the kid falling. Izuku was reaching the ground and was probably a couple feet from death, and as he was getting close he closed his eyes prepared to meet his end. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on who you ask, someone decided to intervene.
Izuku for some reason was still alive, he opened his eyes and saw that he was couple inches off the ground. The teen wonder why and when he looked up he got his answer. Izuku looked up to see that an arrow was embedded in his uniform. "Wha-"
"You know I'm not as 'hip' as you young kids might say, but I'm pretty sure that jumping off a building is not good way to make yourself cool." Izuku turned his head to the direction of the voice and saw an old man with a bow in his hand.
The old man had grey hair and a grey beard to go with it, he had wrinkles all over his white skin, and he was wearing black shades with purple lenses. As for his clothes he was wearing baggy jeans, a brown cap, and a black shirt with a purple arrow on it.
"S-Sorry, for troubling you." The old man raised an eyebrow at Izuku words, Izuku sounded sad that he was saved.
"Kid, just what the hell were you thinking?" Izuku looked down at the ground that he was hanging from and began to tell the unknown man his story. A couple hours later the man began to understand Izuku's pain, he pulled the arrow out of teen's uniform and let him hit the ground. The old man then smacked Izuku upside the head for being an idiot.
"Seriously kid, just because you can't become a hero and don't have a quirk you decide to kill yourself. Honestly this generation today, all they think about is quirk this and quirk that." Izuku could tell that the man didn't really seem to like quirks all that much.
"Hey mister, do you have problem with quirks?" The old man shook his head and he gave Izuku honest answer.
"Kid, I don't have a problem with them. There will be big problems and we're going to a need person with a strong quirk to come help us, but I just don't think everyone should rely on them as much they should. There was time when people could do good things without the usage of a quirks. I've met tons of people throughout my life who didn't have quirks and they were some of the strongest people I knew and guess what kid, they were heroes." Izuku widen his eyes at that and the old man decided to carry on with his past experience.
"There was a man who lost an eye in battle and guess what that didn't stop him from becoming a good soldier and eventually a great leader. Then there was another man who was trapped by terrorist and he was force to build weapons for them, but he decided to use his mind and make his own weapon. He made an armor that would help him fight his way out his prison, and this last one, she's the best of them all. This woman was my best friend and my partner. She was a hell of fighter, she didn't have a quirk, no all she had was her bag of gadgets, her skill in fighting, and most importantly her will. This woman would go against some of the toughest people in the world and would not even blink an eye. Hell, she saved my ass more times than I remember." Izuku began to become inspire by the man words as he talked about these people.
"Then there's me, I'm just a guy who wasn't born with a quirk and I was able to do good things. I decided to work and train my ass off to become who I am now, and I didn't take any shortcuts. None of us did. All we had were just our tricks, gadgets, wits, and most importantly our will. That all it takes kid, heart and will. With those two anyone quirk or not can become a hero. You can become a hero." The man finished as Izuku looked at with awe, it was the same look he would give All Might, but that ship has sailed.
"Thank you, so much. You've inspire me to continue my dream." The old man smiled and looked at Izuku for minute.
"You're still going to achieve that dream, huh?" Izuku nodded his head without hesitation, making the old man smile some more.
"Alright, how about I train you then?" Izuku looked at him in shocked, as he couldn't believe what he heard.
"R-R-Really?" The teen couldn't believe it, making the old man nod his head.
"Yeah, I can see something special in you and it will give me something to do on my vacation. By the way kid what's your name?" The old man asked and Izuku told him.
"Izuku, Izuku Midoriya." The man nodded his head, took off his shades and Izuku saw his blue eyes as the man smile down at him.
"Well then Izuku, my name is Clinton Barton, but everyone calls me Clint." Izuku smiled as they both shook hands.
"From today on Izuku, I'm going to work you to the bone. I'm going to train you hard, I'm going to teach you everything that I know, and if you're still alive after all that then I promise you… you're going to become a hero."
There it was. The words that Izuku that waited his whole life for, the words that Izuku wanted to hear from All Might, from his friends, even from his mother, the words of encouragement. After he heard those words Izuku began to cry and Clint sweat-dropped.
"Jesus kid, I know that becoming is a hero is a big deal for you, but please don't cry in public." Clint told the boy, but he kept letting tears out.
"I'm sorry, it's... just that... I waited...Wahh!" Izuku continued to cry and Clint started to second guess himself on training Izuku.
'We're going to work that attitude during his training, the kid is a wimp. I can tell just by looking at him that he has low confidence in himself. We're going to have build that up as well along with muscles- you know there is a lot stuff that has be done with this kid. I'll just make list tonight.' Clint thought as he officially calmed Izuku down.
"Alright kid listen up, meet me at this location tomorrow sharp. Tomorrow we are gonna start your training. The UA entrance exams are eight months away, so for the next eight months you're going to be in hell. Got it." Izuku nodded his head as Clint left him his number and the old man began to walk away.
"I'm going to do it... I'm going to be a hero!" Izuku said aloud as he made his way home as well. When Izuku got home he saw his mother at the table having a snack.
"Izuku!" Inko got up and hugged her son and he hugged back.
"There was villain attack today and Katsuki was involved." Izuku was surprised by that, Katsuki and him have not been friends since the ash blonde boy found out that Izuku was quirkless.
"Some kind of sludge villain attacked him, but luckily All Might showed up to rescue him." Inko was soon surprised by her son's reaction. When Izuku was a kid he would gush over anything All Might, but when she saw his face it wasn't one of a fanboy, but just a blank face.
"That's cool mom, but I got homework to get done." Izuku soon went to his room to complete his work and get a good night rest, for tomorrow he begins his journey as a quirkless hero.
Next Day
Izuku woke up very early and went to the location that Clint had giving him. Izuku followed the directions and soon came upon a local junkyard.
"Kid," Izuku turned his head to see Clint sitting on top a car hood with a bow and arrow next to him. Izuku soon walked over to him and Clint handed him the bow. Izuku looked at it confused and he looked back up to his teacher.
"I said I was going to teach everything I know, well that starts with how to use this bad boy here." Clint said proudly looking at the bow.
"A bow?" Clint nodded his head, still keeping his proud smile.
"Yup, this baby here is my ultimate weapon and now it's going to be yours. I'm going to teach you how to use it, now go take some arrows and give it shot." Izuku walked over to a quiver and took an arrow. Izuku saw some footage of archery when he was kid, and there is an archery club at his school, so he copied their position.
Clint watched was with a pain look as Izuku position was terrible, he held the arrow wrong, he put too many fingers on the string, and when he fired his shot the arrow barely went 4 feet. Izuku walked over to his teacher and apologized.
"It's alright kid, it was to be expected. Alright, I know what I'm working with now." Clint took the bow from Izuku hands and put with the quiver. Clint took a seat back on the hood of the car and looked down at Izuku.
"Alright kid, this is what we're going to do the next eight months. For the next eight months we're going to work on building your body, you're weak and skinny as a wet noodle. Next, I want you to you come here everyday and practice using the bow. I can teach a lot things, but there are some stuff outside of my power. I want you to read some books on archery to expand your knowledge. Study everything, from math, wind dynamics, breathing techniques, and knowing how to shoot with multiple arrows. All this is important to archery. Capeesh." Izuku nodded to his teacher words and began to grab some weights.
"Kid, before you go do that, let me show you something." Izuku turned his head to see Clint with the bow in his hand.
"This is how you shoot an arrow." Izuku saw the way his teacher body was position, his posture was perfect, the way he held the arrow is right, everything about his stance was perfect. Clint lined up his target with an apple he had put down.
Izuku saw his teacher fire the arrow and it went flying. The arrow look like bullet and hit the apple with tremendous speed that the apple went flying and it was still on the arrow. The arrow would eventually land on a car door, but Izuku was an awe at how his teacher wielded the bow.
"That was cool." Clint smiled when heard that as he looked back to Izuku.
"Yeah, it was. Now get to work." And with those words Izuku went right to his training. As Izuku was lifting the weight he had to ask his teacher one question that has been on his mind since he met him.
"Hey Clint, you said that you used to be a hero. What was your pro name?" Clint smiled at Izuku question as he reminisced on his time as a hero.
"My hero name was... Hawkeye." Izuku smiled when he heard those words and went back to his training. As Clint watched him lift the weights, he saw that Izuku reminded him of himself. Sure Izuku is a lot skinnier than Barton was when he started his training, also he doesn't have Clint's good looks, and the boys has zero confidence in himself, but all that can be fix.
What Clint sees in Izuku is his dedication to become a hero and work ethic. Clint had a strong work ethic, but for him to become a hero it took a conversation with one certain one-eyed man.
'The kid's going to need some work, but with some time and training I think he'll be able to make it as a pro, plus I think everyone needs a wake up call and remember that a quirk doesn't make a hero. Who knows maybe he'll even carry on my name.' Clint thought before he scolded Izuku on how to use the bow again.
Yesterday Izuku hopes and dreams were crushed and it made him nearly take his own life. Then a man saved his life and gave him the words that he needed to hear. The words re-ignited the flames within Izuku, giving him the drive to become a hero again.
Now today Izuku has begun his journey to prove everyone wrong. To prove Katsuki wrong, to prove All Might wrong, to prove everyone who doubted him wrong, and to give hope to those who wish to achieve the same dream as him.
Today is the start of Izuku journey to become a hero and he'll do it as one of the quirkless. He'll do it as the Quirkless Archer.
