AUTHORS NOTE: This is TheAzureKnight here! And this time, we're on the third chapter of My Heroic Spirit Academia! But before we begin, it's time to answer some questions.
Alex Focker: If you think having superpowered dead people is gonna to give everyone at U.A. a bad time, then Aizawa's going to LOATHE the chaos and carnage Izuku's Servants will cause!
SEEMS L3GIT: What is this, some shitty romance fanfiction? Of course, I'm not going to pair Artoria and Izuku. I'm writing a fantasy superhero story not a shipping fic. Izuku's relationships with the other characters shall remain the same as canon. (I'm more of an IzukuxTsuyu EMIYAxArtoria type of guy to tell ya the truth.)
Ichigo Oga: It is possible for other MHA characters to have Servants of their own. However, only people gifted with a Holy Grail can own multiple Servants.
Jetslinger333: Shirou isn't a bad character. But, creating crossover fanfics of Shirou stealing the main character spotlight is just too much.
AlucardTheDragonicGod: Yes, I do plan on having Deku own 7 Servants. Each Heroic Spirit summoned into their respective Class, with the 8th slot belonging to one of the Extra Class (Avenger, Ruler, Moon Cancer, Alter Ego, Foreigner and etc.)
Darkjaden: The Saber that was summoned by Izuku Midoriya, is indeed the Fate route version of her. Which means that Shirou has in fact, implied to have given Avalon back to her.
Interviner: I assure you, there are some scenes that will be a lot different than how it went from canon. It just takes a few chapters for the changes to happen. And if I'm being honest, writing a different route is a lot harder than one may think.
Fixbe2798: FUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- no.
Guest: I compared Saber's and All Mights parameters and find that Saber's stats are a few points below All Might so I highly doubt they can fight each other equally even with all her Noble Phantasms. Heck she fought Gilgamesh at Fate/Extella, with the Moon Cell empowering her. And SABER. STILL. LOSES. Don't get the wrong idea, Saber is still an extremely powerful Servant, and you're right about her strength being on par with All Might. The only reason she didn't outright destroy the Sludge Villain is because she didn't want to risk killing the civilians that are watching close by on accident. That and Bakugo's random explosions are what's keeping sludge guy from getting hacked to pieces by Excalibur.
13thRebels: The full list of Servants I have chosen for Deku shall be at the bottom of the chapter. And for those of you who did not want to see the list for spoiler reasons, don't look at the bottom and just skip towards the next chapter.
NyaNyaKittyFace: No Izuku will not become a Magus. Nor will anyone teach him magic, ever.
With all those questions answered it's time to begin the third chapter.
The World's most popular Hero: All Might.
Age: Unknown. Quirk: Unidentified.
Ever since his debut on the Hero Scene, All Might became an instant celebrity thanks to his abilities.
As the years pass, the crime rate has been decreased. His mere presence alone was a deterrent to Villains everywhere.
They don't call him the Symbol of Peace. It's what he is.
And this pillar of justice just said to me…
Musutafu, Japan.
"Young man…" A great Hero has spoken.
"You too, can become a Hero."
Izuku Midoriya sobbed uncontrollably.
The reason he hadn't collapsed on the floor was because Saber was holding him steady.
"Izuku…" The Servant lightly spoke. A small smile spreads across her features.
Izuku desperately wanted to hear those words more than anything else.
And the Hero that was keeping him held in her arms. As well as the Hero he admired. Did just that.
It was more than he could've asked for.
Amidst his crying, the Symbol of Peace spoke once again.
"I deem you worthy of my power." All Might decreed as he spread his arms out. "My Quirk is yours to inherit."
…
…
…
Midoriya looked up towards All Might and said. "…Huh?"
Saber lets go of her Master and turns around. "…Excuse me?"
"HA! HAHAHAHAHAHA-HA! Man! You two should've seen the looks on your faces! Relax, it's just a proposal"
"Now listen up boy! This is something you gotta choose for yourself!" All Might then points a finger to Izuku. "Do you want to accept my Awesome POW-ARQ!" a large gush of blood spit out of his mouth.
Now Izuku stares at him confused. 'Wait, power? What is he talking about?"
All Might finishes wiping his mouth and begins to explain.
"There are a couple things you should know about my abilities. Journalists usually guess my Quirk is; Super Strength, Power Boost or some other Invulnerability. When people ask in interviews, I always make a joke and dodge the question. That's because the world needs to believe their Symbol of Peace is a natural born Hero."
"But I'm not…" As Izuku and Saber would soon learn. "There's nothing natural about my ability."
All Might finally reveals the truth of his Quirk. "I wasn't born with this power; it was a sacred torch passed on to me from someone else."
Izuku Midoriya gulped. Trying to bring himself to speak. "Someone gave you this Quirk? No way…"
"Yes way. And your next. I can give you my abilities!"
"W-wait hold on this is a whole lot to process. It's true that there's a lot of debate to what your Quirk actually is. Nobody's able to figure it out, it's one of the world's greatest mysteries. People are constantly talking about it online but, well the idea of passing on a Quirk and inheriting it doesn't make any sense I never heard anything like that before powers are supposed to be unique to each individual no one's able to just give someone their power like a present that'scrazyifthisistrueitwouldcauseus-"
Meanwhile All Might and Saber stood a few feet apart as Midoriya continues to ramble on about Quirks or…whatever the hell he's talking about.
"Uhh…" All Might turns towards Saber, hoping for an explanation. "Does he always do that?"
"I…" Saber turns her head away. "I don't know how to answer that." The Servant had just met her Master earlier today and already Izuku is doing something beyond her understanding.
Seeing as the kid won't shut his mouth, All Might shouted- "STOP NERDING OUT!"
"WHA!?" Izuku finally shuts up.
"You have to adjust your reality and accept this new truth. I can transfer my power to someone else. And that's just one facet to my abilities."
The No.1 Hero now reveals the True Name of his Quirk. "The True Name of my power…is, One For All."
"One…For…All." Izuku repeated. The Quirks identity has been finally revealed. Saber also listens closely. Curious about All Might's ability.
"One person improves its power. Then hands it over to the next person. It continues to grow as it's passed along. This crystallization of power is what allows me to save those who are in need of a Hero. That is how One For All's power is used."
"A Quirk that stockpiles power and transfers to the next." Saber comments. This One For All, is somehow similar to a Magic Crest. A bundle of Magic Circuits sewn together to gather spells. The more Circuits that were added into the crests, the stronger its power becomes when it's passed on to the next generation.
"But, why would you choose to give me a gift like that?" Izuku asked. His tattoo already gave him an ability to summon a Hero of Old. But now this time he's going to get another ability. This time from his Hero and idol? What if he can't live up to his expectations.
"I've been searching a long time for a worthy successor." All Might said. "And then, I watched you jumped into action just as the rest of us stood idly by. You may be just a Quirkless fanboy, but you tried to save that kid. You acted like a Hero."
Izuku began to tear up again.
"Geez, seriously!" All Might laughed. "You got to stop crying so much if you want my Quirk, c'mon kid!"
'He said so much to encourage me. He even told me the secret behind his powers' Izuku quickly wipe out the tears from his eyes. 'Is this what I've been waiting for all these years? How could I turn him down?' After moving his arm from his eyes, he investigates the Command Seals engraved on his left hand, another delicate palm enters his vision. He then looks up to see Saber offering her hands to him.
"Izuku." Saber reaches out to her Master. "No matter what choices you make, know that I shall follow you until the end of our journey." That is the oath she made as Izuku Midoriya's Servant and Knight. If her Master is to become great Hero, then she would be there and guide him towards that goal. Just as her previous master, Shirou Emiya once stood by her side throughout the 5th Holy Grail War.
'Of course,' Izuku realized. He has his Servant, a Heroic Spirit that will help make his dream come true. 'I won't be alone this time.' Izuku grabs hold of Saber's hand, with the Command Seals on his left hand holding on to the Servant's own, she gently pulls Izuku up. As he firmly stands on his two feet, Izuku looks up to All Might. A fiery determination lit on his eyes.
"Yes, I accept your power!"
All Might's smirked at his new protégé's answer. "Heh, good. I expect nothing less."
Dagoba Municipal Beach Park, Two days later – Early Morning, Ten months before U.A. High's entrance exam.
However, inheriting All Might's power wasn't such an easy task.
Izuku Midoriya pulled the ropes wrapped around his hands and body as hard as he could. But no matter how hard he tried; the large refrigerator tied up wouldn't budge an inch.
It didn't help that All Might, and Saber were both sitting comfortingly on top of the fridge, with Saber happily slurping on an instant noodle bowl.
"Hey, hey, hey!" All Might called. "It's pretty comfy up on this fridge, how are you doing down there!?"
With the last of his strength failing, the exhausted Izuku fell down on to the ground.
"People, moved these every day you know, and most of these people don't have any super strength." All Might added.
"Yeah, but…" Izuku pushes himself up from the ground and turned back to look at the fridge behind him. "There's an extra 690 pounds with you two sitting on top of it."
"Nah, I've lost weight so I'm down to 560 these days." The Pro Hero replied. "In this form at least."
Izuku then takes a look at all the large piles of scattered garbage littered across the beach. "So… why am I dragging trash across the beach anyway?"
"It's quite simple, *Slurp*" Saber answers while eating. "When a person of your stature is warming up, *Slurp* for a beginning of your workout, *Slurp* you should always start *Slurp* at the smallest of basic steps *Gulp, gulp*" She then finishes by drinking whatever soup and noodles was left in the bowl.
"Besides, have you looked at yourself in the mirror?" All Might asked while taking a few photo's in his smart phone. "You're not ready for my power."
"HUH!? But I thought you said I was worthy!" Izuku cried. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"I'm talking about your body." All Might explained causing Midoriya to calm down a little. "My Quirk One For All combines the physical strength of everyone who ever used it into a single hurricane of pure force. An unprepared body can't fully inherit it, otherwise your limbs would literally pop out from your body."
"Wait-WHAT!" Izuku shuddered at the thought of exploding into gory pieces. "O-okay, so this whole trash thing is some kind of hardcore gym workout. And you're my trainers." Izuku turns his head to face All Might giving him a thumbs up while Saber leaped down from the fridge.
"You got that right! But there's another reason!" All Might explained. "I did an online research yesterday. Turns out this part of the beach used to be beautiful, but been turned into a total mess these past years."
"I see…" Izuku looks around the disposed junk. It's because of the ocean's currents, anything that get washed up from the shore ends up on this beach. People take advantage of that when they're dumping trash here. Now these days, locals tend to avoid this place.
"The Heroes of the present like to show off and catch flashy Villains lately. Unlike today, things where a lot different before Quirks. Service is what matters, back then Heroes are those that help the community. Even if it was kind of boring!" The large man explained as he effortlessly pushes his right hand down the fridge, crushing it like an empty can of soda.
"You will restore this coastline for the entire section of the beach. That is the first step of your path young man, the path towards being a Hero."
"All this?" The boy looks around the piles of junk littered all over the beach. "But, there's so much… that's impossible!" All Might can't seriously expect someone like him to clean up all of this mess. The whole area is a clattered mess of trash piled up together! How in the world is he gonna clean up all by himself?
"Izuku." The Servant Saber interrupted, grabbing the attention of her master. "I understand that you wish to enroll in this school called U.A. High." Saber inquired. "What can you tell me about this academy?"
"You don't know about-…" Izuku paused. "Oh right, you wouldn't know about this stuff." That makes sense, Saber was born centuries before the Quirk phenomenon.
"U.A. High School is an institution that trains students to become Heroes. Its ranked as the #1 Hero Academy in all of Japan. All Might also went to U.A. as well, so it must be the best school around."
"U.A. High School…" Saber muttered quietly to herself. For the last two day's she had known him, Izuku seems to be an admirer of All Might. That must be why he was training to enter that school and become a Hero himself one day.
Now that she thought about it, she never had time think about what she wanted to do for herself. She rarely had time to enjoy life at Fuyuki during the last two wars. Now that there was no Holy Grail War to worry about, the Servant is now free to live the rest of her third life and choose whatever path she wishes.
That leaves only one question, what path should Saber take?
While the Servant is in deep thought, All Might stepped in by giving a thumbs up. "You got a lot of spirit fanboy!"
"But as I mentioned before, summoning another Hero is far than enough to qualify as a Hero. Heroing isn't easy to do without a Quirk." All Might states, whilst staring at the sun posing Akimbo style. "It's not fair, but that's the reality. And U.A. is the hardest Hero course to get into. So that means…"
"That I have to prepare my body for your Quirk really fast." Izuku finished. "U.A.'s exam is in ten months!"
"Not to worry kid!" The No. 1 Hero pulled out sheets of written papers from out of nowhere. "I got you covered! With the help of my Aim to Pass American Dream Plan!"
"Follow these instructions and you'll have this beach cleaned up just in time! I also took the liberty of detailing every other aspect of your life while I was at it."
The young boy quickly read through schedule he was given in each page. "Even my sleep is scheduled."
"If I'm being honest, this is going to be super hard." The larger man whispered. "Think you're up to it?"
Despite the difficulty assigned to him, the boy smiled eagerly. "Y-yeah sure I am, I have to work way harder than everyone else to get in. so what choice do I have?"
After reading through the last page. Izuku then turns towards his Servant who is still deep in thought. "You'll help me with my training too right Saber?"
"Hm? Oh right, Yes I shall do my part in your training." The Saber class Servant replied before becoming silent once again. Her quiet thinking did not go unnoticed by her Master.
"Saber? Is there something wrong?"
"No there's nothing wrong it's just, I've been thinking…" Saber fell deep in thought for a short moment before affirming her decision. "Izuku, if it's not too much to ask then I would like to accompany you to U.A. as well."
"You want to go U.A. too?" Izuku said in a surprised tone. Even All Might took notice and paid close attention.
The Servant nodded. "I've been thinking about what I should be doing during my time here. After what happened the last two days ago and learning more about what this world has to offer, I was hoping that I could continue to observe your journey. I want to see for myself what means to be a Hero."
"Is that so?" The Master of Saber then turns to the Pro Hero. "Um, Saber can come to U.A. is that okay?"
"Well I'm not quite sure if someone like you can attend Hero course." All Might answered honestly, who had puffed back into his skinny form just now and rubbing his chin as he stares closely at the girl. "But you do look like you're in the right age to be attending High School. Okay this might sound personal but, what's your real name? I'm pretty sure that Saber is just some special name given to you."
Izuku Midoriya waited to hear her answer as well. Remembering the fact that Servants are Heroic Spirits brought back to life. He wondered what kind of Hero the Knight contracted to him was like.
"My True Name? well…" Saber hesitates. Though she has no problem revealing her identity as per Code of Chivalry. A True Name is the most vital information that every Servant has. Their True Name must be kept secret at all costs. For not only will their identity be revealed, their weakness shall be exposed as well.
Revealing a Servants True Name wouldn't be wise if this was normal Grail War. However, there was no reason to hide her identity if there wasn't a War to be fighting anyway. The Holy Grail inside her Master would've have told her otherwise.
"Very well, I suppose there's no harm at revealing myself." Saber's clothes shift into a bright light before fading into her silver and blue armor once again. If she's going to reveal her True Name she might as well do it with style. Both Master and Pro Hero bask in awe as Saber disperses Invisible Air revealing a blade bathed in holy light attached to a golden hilt with blue markings held in hand. She plunged her sword deep within the sand. With both hands resting atop of the pommel, she stood proudly announcing her name.
"My True name is Artoria Pendragon,The King of Knights. History remembers me as the great King of Britain, Arthur Pendragon. And the Sword I present to you is my most trusted blade. The crystallization of all of mankind's wishes, Excalibur: The Sword of Promised Victory."
…
…
…
There was only silence in the middle of the junkyard for a short moment. After a half minute has nearly passed until Izuku broke the silence.
"Arthur…Pendragon?" Izuku Midoriya blinked. "As in, THE King Arthur?"
"Indeed."
"The Once and Future King?"
"That is what people have been referring to me these days."
"The Hero who ruled over Britain? The wielder of Excalibur!? A leader who drove out the invading Saxons!? The one who sat on the Round Table within the kingdom of Camelot!?"
"Izuku you're starting to talk incoherently again."
"So that's Excalibur huh…" All Might said as he takes a good look at the sword. it looked beautiful, but he somehow felt that it will only dirty the sword if he called it that way. "By the way, isn't King Arthur supposed to be…"
"A man?" Artoria finished having gotten used the surprise. "Yes, I tend to get this a lot. I'm sure that my gender does come as shock but, during my time women were not expected to be king. So, Merlin had arranged for my gender to appear as male for most of my rule."
"I see…well then. I guess I can arrange for you to take part in upcoming entrance exam." All Might said in satisfaction.
"You have my upmost gratitude All Might." Artoria bowed her head politely. "Thank you."
And thus, marks the beginning of ten hellish months of training.

Izuku Midoriya; Summons his second Servant.
Midoriya Residence, Eight months before U.A. High's entrance exam.
It was in the middle of midnight at the Midoriya residence. A single television screen lights up the darkness inside the living room. All the furniture has been moved aside to clear out for Artoria to draw a large summoning circle at the center.
It has been three months since Saber lived with Izuku and his mother. It was a bit nerve-racking at first, having to live with a foreigner. But it didn't take long for Saber to quickly become part of the family after a few weeks. In fact, having Saber here seemed to have a positive effect on her Master's mother.
"Um…Saber?" Midoriya, who has been memorizing the script given to him, looks up towards what his Servant is doing with curiosity. "What exactly are we doing in the middle of the night?"
"Just a simple experiment." Artoria answered nonchalantly while immersed on the preparation of the summoning ritual. "The Holy Grail has the ability to connect to Throne of Heroes, where it would receive data on the chosen Heroic Spirits identity and summon them as Servants for the purpose of fighting alongside their Masters in the Grail Wars."
Izuku stares at the circle that Saber is drawing. "So, what does it have to do with this occult ritual?"
"Every Master participating in a Grail War has called upon Servants using this summoning ritual. Although there is no Grail War that I have been informed of so far." Artoria explained. "But if my hypothesis is correct. With the Holy Grail in your possession. It might be possible to summon another Servant into your service."
Izuku was stunned when he heard that last part. "Wait, you mean I can summon another Hero like you?"
"Indeed." Saber answered. "Normally a Master would have trouble supplying two Servants at once. Fortunately, my Magic Core can generate more than enough mana to supply for myself. You needn't worry about supplying your other Servant. Archers and Casters use little Mana from their Master so either these two are recommendable."
There is a possibility that her Master might summon a Berserker. These Heroic Spirits of Madness drain more energy from their Masters, so it might not be favorable for Izuku to maintain one unless he somehow has a Quirk that provides Prana. Worst case scenario that their Mad Enhancement would cause them to lash out, attacking everything within their sight and potentially kill their Master by mistake. She can only pray that Izuku can hopefully summon a Servant with a rational mind.
"It's done." Saber finishes the preparations for the summoning and stands up. She was grateful to All Might for providing her the necessary blood bags. He told her that he got them from a Pro Hero named Vlad King whose Quirk allows him to control the flow of blood. When All Might asked Saber what she's going to do with that blood, she simply replied that she's going to help Izuku bring in another trainer.
"Whenever you're ready, please come here." She beckoned her Master to come fourth, Izuku remained unmoving for a short while. After reading through the script one more time, he then sets aside the paper on the couch and moves to his Servant's side.
"Stand in front of the circle." Artoria instructs her Master. "Move your left arm forward. Relax your hand." She guides Izuku's left hand. "When you're ready, recite the lines you've read."
Saber steps back for Izuku to perform the summoning, his eyes focused on the Command Seals on his back hand. Izuku closes his eyes and slowly takes a deep breath before opening his eyes once again.
Izuku begins the recite.
"Let silver and steel be the essence."
"Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation."
"Let the Heroes of Old and New guide my path."
"Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall."
"Let the four cardinal gates close."
"Let the three-forked road from the crown reach unto kingdom come."
Nothing had happened when the ritual began, but then a blue glow surfaced from within the summoning circle, which then turns to green.
"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill."
"Repeat five times."
"Shattered once filled."
Saber pays close attention to glowing circle; the feeling of the summoning process makes its presence through her senses.
'This is it.' Saber steels herself. 'I can feel it, the summoning has begun.'
"I hereby declare."
"Your body shall serve under me."
"My fate shall be your sword."
"Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail."
"If you heed to this will and reason, then answer me this!"
The circle has started to grow brighter than before. The TV screen is phasing out of control. The lights around the apartment flicker erratically.
Izuku watches in awe as the Command Seals on his hand change from a shining crimson red to a dazzling emerald green.
But he still kept going.
"An oath shall be sworn here!"
"I shall harbor all that is good in this world."
"And I shall slay all that is evil in this world!"
From within the Throne of Heroes, a soul has been called forth.
It has been given its identity, its class, and the necessary information.
The chosen Heroic Spirit departs from its eternal rest and begins its new life.
"From the seventh heaven clad by the three words of power."
"Come forth, from the binding circle."
"O, guardian of the scales!"
The summoning circle beams a blinding light, followed by a blast of wind erupts all over the living room. Causing Izuku to shield his eyes as Saber remains undeterred. His Command Seals fades back into dark red.
"Hey…did I…have I, done it right?" Izuku asked as he lowers his arms to look at the dust cloud forming around the circle. When it clears, both Master and Servant takes a clear view of the new arrival.
"Well, well, well…Look what I have gotten myself into." A new voice whistles in a pleasant surprise. A man with spikey bright green hair leaving a single bang hanging on the side of his smirking face. An orange sash has been wrapped around his silver armor and black clothing. A teal colored tipped spear rests upon the back of his neck with two hands holding on to it. "Summoned into a world full of superpowered Quirks and Heroism as a daily occupation is one thing, but imagine my surprise when I found out my Master had already summoned a Servant before me."
His yellow eyes darts around the living room. "Wow, not the kind of place I thought I get summoned into, though I gotta admit this place sure does looks nice to chillax once in a while." The newcomer then turns his attention to the shorter boy with dark green hair. "Oh right! I'm supposed to be introducing myself." The man reaches his arm for a handshake. "Servant Rider. The names Achilles."
"Achilles..." Izuku muttered. One of the most famous Heroes in all of ancient Greece. Achilles is a great warrior who fought at the Trojan War and dueled Hector to the death outside the gates of Troy. Izuku quickly composed himself and returned the gesture. "My name is Izuku Midoriya." He introduces himself, grasping the Trojan Hero's hand and shaking with his own. "It's nice to meet you Rider."
"Izuku Midoriya huh?" Achilles smirked. "Alright, Kid. I'll be looking forward to working with you." he then sets his sights to the other Servant standing by. "So, I take it you're the other Servant the Kid summoned?"
"Indeed I am." The Servant of the Sword introduces herself. "I am the Servant Saber. My True Name, is Artoria Pendragon. It is an honor to meet noble warrior such as yourself Achilles."
"The King of Knights?" Achilles quipped. "Man, for the great ruler of Britain, I didn't think you actually be a woman. N-no offense really, dammit me and my big mouth." He cursed his own insensitivity. It's one of those times that Achilles remembered that he should be careful with his own words. As something as small as a simple compliment can potentially lead to extreme offenses. As the veteran of the Trojan War would most often painfully find out.
The lights in the dark living room was suddenly switched on as the brightness startles the three of them. All eyes turn towards the source.
Switching on the lights is Inko Midoriya who came from the door leading into the living room. She drowsily rubbed her eyes as if she's been woken up. "Izuku it's way past bedtime already what in the world are yo-!?" her tired eyes abruptly shot wide as she blinked at the scene unfolding into her.
"Wha- wh… who… what is that man doing in our apartment!? And what happened to the living room!? Wait- is that, blood on the floor!?" Inko stuttered. Everything has been going crazy these past months. First her son brings in a girl who claims to be some Heroic Spirit. Then Inko was forced to buy twice the amount of groceries because of her insane appetite! And now THIS!? A satanic ritual!? Now this is just getting out of hand!
"Wait Mom! This isn't what you think! Saber and I were trying to-…" Izuku was trying to calm and explain to his distraught mother while Saber and Rider stood at the back smiling in amusement.
"Hey Saber." Achilles chuckled as he turned to his fellow Servant. "Mind filling me in on this? The Grail informed me everything I need to know, but I got nothing on the current Grail War. Is there even a War in the first place?"
Artoria nodded back. "I will tell you everything I know so far. But first…" Her eyes shift down to blood stained floor. "I should clean this place up first."
After the summoning, Izuku Midoriya and his mother went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep for the night. Artoria had scrubbed the blood off the wooden floor and moved the furniture back to their previous spots. Now both Servants sat across on each end of the table. With Saber explaining everything that has transpired since her arrival to this world. As well as their Master's condition.
"So, you need my help in training the Kid to get his body ready for the Quirk he's going to inherit from a Pro Hero." Achilles crossed his arms "And he's only got eight months until this entrance exam opens."
"That is the case." Artoria said. "Izuku has been preparing his body to withstand the stockpiled power of One for All. I'm not sure if it can supply us the right amount Mana, we need to maintain our existence. But just to be safe, I must ask you to refrain from using your Noble Phantasms for the time being."
"Well, since he's has two Servants, I guess that would make sense." Achilles sighed. "But still, a Holy Grail inside the kid's body? I'm surprised he didn't turn inside out like the rest of the Lesser Grails."
"Indeed. That would be troubling."
The Saber and Rider class Servants sat in silence. Complementing the abnormality of this singularity. Neither of them has any idea why they were summoned into this world. And every answer they received would only lead to more questions.
"Hey I've been meaning to ask…" Achilles changes the subject. Prompting Artoria to listen to what the Greek Hero has to say. "I've been wondering about this but, did you…like you know, remember everything that happened during your last summoning?"
The King of Knights was astounded, never has she ever expected this kind of question. "Well… yes, I did remember my past experiences from the last two Grail Wars. I was summoned at Fuyuki to fight in the Holy Grail War twice. What brought this up?"
"Oh good, so it's not just me!" Achilles sighed in relief. Shocking the Saber Servant as she wasn't expecting that the Rider Servant would still retain his memories.
"Well I remembered my time on my own Grail War. I was summoned as one of the fifteen Servants on Trifas to fight at the Great Holy Grail War."
"Fifteen Servants!? But how is this possible!?"
"It's a long story." Achilles shrugged. "Supposedly, I was summoned to team up with the rest of the Servants to go up against another team of Servants. With the last Servant Ruler, watching over the Grail War."
The two Servants would then spend the rest of the night recalling their past experiences in their own Holy Grail Wars.

Musutafu park, Three months before U.A. High's entrance exam.
Four visitors are moving through the park through the season of autumn. Izuku and Achilles are jogging while carrying heavy safe boxes. Izuku is carrying a single heavy safe box, while Achilles is carrying a pair of fridge size safe boxes. All Might is riding a Segway in his skinny form. And Artoria is strolling through the pavement in her bicycle.
"You know. I've been itching for good fight these past months since I first got here!" Achilles voices his honest opinion, not sounding tired at all despite the heavy load. "Hey Symbol of Peace! Is there any big shot Villains out in the city I can beat the crap out of?"
"I wouldn't run around like a Vigilante if I were you." All Might said as he turns his head to where the Servant is jogging behind. "You can get incarcerated just by acting on self-defense."
"Though I am willing to follow the law as long as it aligns with my Code of Chivalry…however." Artoria added as she rode her bicycles on the side. "I have already seen how powerful and unique each Quirk can potentially be. What's the point in having special powers if they're not allowed to be used to defend themselves?"
All Might had to agree, the young lady did make a solid point. "Who knows? Maybe, it's for their own safety or they're just stopping people from making unnecessary damage."
"Man, it sucks that I can't go out without a Hero license." Achilles sighs in disappointment. "Hey Kid what do you think?" he turns towards his Master only to find that him starting to slow down. "Kid?"
Once Achilles takes a good look, he notices that Izuku is making a pained expression. His breathing getting heavier and heavier until…
He suddenly drops dead on the ground, completely unmoving. The three of them stops what they're doing once they discover Izuku had collapsed.
"Oh shit, Kid!"
"Izuku!"
The Saber and Rider Servants rush towards their Masters side. All Might's steps out of his Segway.
"Hey Kid! C'mon talk to me!"
"Izuku, are you alright? Stop moving too much."
Artoria and Achilles has been checking on their Masters condition. Izuku is still breathing fine, but his body is long past the point of exhaustion.
"Hey, hey what's gotten into you? You only got three months left." All Might calls out to the exhausted Izuku. "Are you going to give up after all this work? Do you want to stop and take it easy?"
Izuku shouldn't reached this kind of fatigue this fast. Unless…
"The Aim to Pass American Dream Plan was created specifically for young Midoriya. It was supposed to smoothly progress towards the exact exam date. Achilles have you been overworking the poor boy!?"
"Hey! Don't point fingers at me! It was his idea!" Achilles defended. "The Kid won't stop whining about getting some extra training!"
"Izuku isn't like us Rider!" Artoria frowned at Achilles recklessness. "Our Master can't push himself as hard as you can!"
"I…I can still…keep going…" Their argument stops when they heard Izuku's tired voice from the ground. The drained boy struggled to push himself up. "I have, to keep going…"
"Izuku, please stop moving." Artoria gently pushes him down. "You'll hurt yourself if you keep pushing too hard. Let's just stop for the day and take a rest."
But Izuku only pushes her away. "No…! I…I want, to keep going…or I won't stand a chance against the other applicants."
"I don't want, to just get into U.A. … I want to excel…! I want…to be like you!"
The three Heroes sat in silence. Izuku barley managed to push himself up by shear willpower.
"I want…to be greatest Hero in the world…just like you guys…"
Izuku finally raises his head. A fierce determination burned through his tearful face.
"So, I'll keep on trying. Until I got what it takes to do that!"
"…!"
They were all stunned by his declaration. Unable to reply to such bravery.
'Izuku…'
'Damm that Kid sure got balls.'
'Got to hand it to the boy. He's given a lot of thought to the future.'
All Might suddenly transforms into his superpowered muscle form. Startling Achilles and Artoria as he hoists Izuku by the collar.
"That fighting spirit is what I like about you fanboy!" All Might applauded. "Though I do get your concerns."
"But not to worry! We shouldn't be rushing progress. But we CAN get you back on track!"
"LISTEN UP EVERYONE!" All Might announces to the two Servants. "It's time to make some grand changes!"
And so, with the Symbol of Peace, the Hero of the Trojan War and the King of Knights working together. The three Heroes manage smoothly progress Izuku Midoriya's training regimen. Soon after three months have passed, the day of U.A.'s entrance exam has finally arrived.
Dagoba Municipal Beach Park, Early Morning, The opening of U.A. High's entrance exam.
At the near time of 6:00 am in the morning All Might had picked up Artoria Pendragon from the Midoriya residence, and now are driving his truck on the way to the beach. Once they arrived, they were soon greeted by Achilles waiting for them in the parking lot. Wearing grey hoodie and black joggers with an orange beanie on top of his head.
"Hey guys!" Achilles greeted. "You two are just in time!"
All Might was the first to leave his truck, followed by Artoria.
"Morning." The Pro Hero wearing his dark blue trench coat and short greyish blue scarf greeted back. "So, how's young Midoriya doing?"
"Kid's cleaned up pretty much everything on the beach. And just as the sun starts to rise." The two men waited for Artoria to catch up. After closing the truck, the Servant Saber approaches the duo, carrying Izuku's backpack and one large hand bag. She still has her white and blue clothing on, but this time she's wearing a white winter blazer with a long blue scarf wrapped around her neck.
"Good morning Rider." Artoria greeted. "Where is Izuku right now?"
"He's over at the beach." Achilles pointed his thumbs back. "Trust me you wouldn't believe what the Kid did back there Saber."
All Might and Artoria walked to where Izuku Midoriya is located but when they did arrive, they've come across an unexpected sight.
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Standing on top of the mountain of trash is the shirtless Izuku Midoriya Roaring atop of his lungs as hard and loud as he can muster.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
But the biggest surprise of them all is what's become of the beach.
The entirely of Dagoba Municipal Beach Park was completely devoid of all junk.
"No way…young Midoriya…did all this?" This assignment succeeded beyond expectations. He even cleaned up outside the area he was told to clean up.
"Its…so clean…" Even Artoria is breathless. This beach looks like it was brand new, not a single piece of trash anywhere.
"That's right. Kid's done that all by himself. He didn't EVEN ask for my help, not one bit." Achilles said. Seriously this Kid is getting more interesting by the day! He always knew there was something special about his Master once he laid eyes on him.
"This is…this is…" The sheer amazement causes All Might to beef up.
"FREAKIN AWESOME!"
Izuku was about fall off the mountainous garbage when All Might catches him faster than the eye can see. It didn't take long for Artoria and Achilles to catch up as well.
"Well done young Midoriya." All Might smiled on proudly. Giving Izuku's Servants time close in to check on their Master.
"All Might…Saber…Rider…" Midoriya beamed drowsily. "I…I did it…I finally finished everything."
"Indeed, you have done well Izuku." Artoria nodded in approval.
"Izuku, let me tell you that you were off the hook out there." Achilles chuckled.
"I gotta say I'm impressed. I knew you had it in you but this is beyond." They all helped Izuku up, All Might takes out his smartphone and shows the screen to him. "Look, its you. crying ten months ago. Now look at yourself."
On the screen Izuku looks like a weak crybaby ten months ago. Now, Izuku is ripped and his muscles are beefed up for whatever challenges thrown at him.
"There's still a long road ahead of you before you can inherit my full power. But it's starting to look like you can do it!"
"Did I deserve it?" Izuku looks at his own trembling hand. "I couldn't made it this far without you guys." Tears formed up between his eyes. "You really are the best…"
"Ha, Ha! Kid its way too early to shed the tear fest right now!" Achilles wrapped an arm around Izuku's shoulder.
"Izuku, its your hard work that won this great victory, be proud of what you accomplished." Artoria grabs a handkerchief from her pocket and wipes the tears from Izuku's eyes.
"Now, for your reward Izuku Midoriya!" All Might pulled out a strand of his hair and presented it to his successor.
"Someone once told me; there's a difference between receiving this gift out of sheer luck or by hard work. Take that to heart young man. You earned this power by you own merits. Not by anyone else."
And so, Izuku Midoriya.
Held out his weak, Quirkless hand.
And grabbed the future.

Izuku's Notes: Rider wasn't kidding when he boasted that he's mankind's fastest Hero. Rider is one of Greece's strongest warriors, whose skills are said to rival Heracles. (Even Saber admitted that Heracles was almost too powerful for her to handle by herself.) But despite his awesome power, he has three weaknesses. 1# his Noble Phantasm's drains too much mana. 2# his only weak point is on his heel. 3# well…Rider won't tell me what his third weakness is…
AUTHORS NOTE: This is the end of the third chapter. This took a lot of hard work and time to write this chapter. I'm not going to be writing for a while since this stole all my precious time off Fate/Grand Order. But I am going reply some PM's if you're got any important questions or ideas. Now before I go, I posted a poll on my profile a long time ago. And since you people wanted me to reveal the full list of Servants I have in mind for Deku. I'm listing at the bottom the Servants he currently owns and will eventually summon on the later chapters of My Heroic Spirit Academia. So here it is everyone!

These are the Servants some of you had asked for. Kotarou and Kiyohime are the last two Servants I have personally selected for Deku. So, review me on what you think of my selection. By the way this chapter is posted on my birthday so hooray for me!~
