Knock, knock, knock.
"Izumi, it's 5 in the morning. Wake up."
My mother's voice woke me up from my sleep.
"Izumi, are you awake?"
I sat up on the bed and shouted.
"Yes, mother. I am awake."
"Hurry and wash your face. Come to the kitchen and eat something before going to the training hall."
"Yes!"
I climbed out of the bed and walked toward the bathroom.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I went to the kitchen.
My mother just finished making a sandwich.
"I already prepared your milkshake. Eat this and get going to the training hall. I need to make some preparations for Ayaka's training so I am leaving."
My mother said as she walked out of the kitchen in the direction of one of the training halls.
"Uh-huh."
I finished my sandwich, grabbed my milkshake and went to my training hall.
I checked the time.
"It's 5.15. There are still nearly 4 hours left before the Entrance Exam begins. I should go there after 5-6 hours."
I placed my milkshake and phone on shelves at the side of the hall.
After nearly an hour of zipping through the training hall and occasionally throwing lightning bolts, I stopped and went to the shelves to drink.
I checked the time when I picked up my phone.
"5.59. All Might and the protagonist should be at the beach at this time."
***
At a beach, All Might stood in front of a young man with green messy curly hair.
"Now, for your reward, Izuku Midoriya!"
"Yes, sir!"
Izuku answered.
All Might pulled a strand of hair from his head.
He held it and spoke.
"Someone told me this once. There's a difference between being lucky and deserving. Once an action and the other a reward. Never get the two confused. Take that to heart young man. This gift, you earned it with your valiant effort."
All Might stopped and looked at Izuku who was on the verge of crying.
All Might brought the strand of hair in front of Izuku and said with a deadpan expression.
"Eat this."
"Huh?"
Izuku uttered a word as he froze looking at the strand of golden hair.

Izumi's POV ||
"Mom I am going outside. I will be back in a few hours."
"Alright. Stay safe."
I heard my mother's reply and went outside.
I went towards the garage.
I found uncle Kaito near the garage speaking on his phone.
I waited for him to finish and asked him to drive me to the U.A high.
I arrived at the school after some time.
"Uncle Kaito it will take me a few hours. You should go home. I will take a taxi and return."
"I understand, young master."
The car drove away
I entered U.A and waited by the entrance.
After an hour students started to flood out of the entrance.
I scanned the students and recognised quite a few of them.
There was Tenya, Itsuka Kendo, the red-haired Kirishima and many other students who will be in classes 1-A and 1-B.
As I was standing by the side of the pathway many people looked my way.
Most of them were girls.
I inherited my mother's and father's genes.
Meaning I am incredibly good-looking.
Also, my silver stands out in the crowd.
'I guess I will break quite a few limbs after starting school. But that should send a message to all the boys.'
I thought as I continued scanning the crowd of students.
After some time nearly all the students left U.A and the pathway became empty.
I continued waiting.
After some time a short-haired girl walked out of the entrance and left school.
It was Ochako Uraraka.
Midoriya should be out soon.
After waiting for a few more minutes.
The green curly-haired kid I was waiting for walked out of the entrance.
I walked toward him and called out.
"Izuku Midoriya, hello."
Hearing his name, Midoriya stopped muttering and looked toward me.
"Hello, do I know you?"
"Not yet. But we have a mutual acquaintance, All Might."
After hearing the name All Might, Midoriya's facial expression changed and he became suspicious.
"You don't need to worry. I haven't disclosed your relationship with All Might to anyone else."
"Then why are you looking for me? And you have yet to introduce yourself."
"Right, sorry. My name is Izumi Adachi. I am one of the candidates of the people who can get into the U.A via recommendation. I have something important related to All Might to discuss with you. But not right now. Can we exchange contact information so that I can contact you? To make you trust me more, I will tell you something that you will already know. All Might is heavily injured right now and he can't maintain his form for long and becomes a skinny guy. Will this be enough?"
I asked.
Midoriya pondered for some time and nodded as he spoke.
"Yes, this should be enough."
We exchanged our contact information.
"Midoriya, I will contact you after we receive our results."
"I understand."
"I should get going."
I bid him farewell and went home.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
I and Ayaka received the letters that contained our results.
Both of us passed.
After having a celebratory dinner with my family, I called Midoriya.
After exchanging pleasantries, I got to the main point.
"Did you pass?"
"Yes, I did. I didn't score any villain points but I did get 60 rescue points. So I was able to pass. One of my middle school friends, Katsuki Bakugo, got first place in the exam."
We continued talking for a few minutes and I also inquired about Bakugo a few times.
Midoriya answered my questions.
After talking for a few more minutes, I spoke in a serious tone.
"From what you have mentioned, this Bakugo seems to be a little arrogant. Since you have passed. Bakugo will probably get angry and think that you cheated. He will probably try to force you to answer. I have some advice for you when both of you get summoned by the teacher to the administration office to congratulate you for getting into U.A. You should wait inside the administration office until Bakugo has left school. Try to avoid him as long as you can and if he still finds you and forces you to talk. Please take a few hits and don't say anything. He will get annoyed and leave."
"I never thought of kacchan getting angry at me for passing the exam. This also reminded me of something regarding All Might. Thanks for the advice, Izumi."
"I hope you follow my advice. And when you meet All Might, call me. I have something to discuss with both of you. I will speak to you later. Goodbye."
"Yes, Goodbye."
I ended the call and leaned back in the chair.
"I don't remember when he met All Might after he got his result. I guess I will just have to wait. Stopping Midoriya from giving Bakugo a hint was important. Finding out about OFA was important for Bakugo's character development but I don't want him to find out about it this early. That guy is loud and annoying and he will be hard to deal with. By doing this I can reduce some troubles. Midoriya will probably tell him about OFA later or maybe he won't since I will try to stop the League of Villains from kidnapping Bakugo."
I got up from the chair and laid down on the bed to stare at the ceiling.
'This world is troublesome. It's a little bearable because of my family. GOD!"
I let out a long sigh.
"I should sleep, I have to wake up early."

Few days later ||
All Might and Midoriya were running away from some fans who recognised All Might.
They stopped after running for a few minutes.
Midoriya rested for a few minutes then asked All Might.
"All Might, do you know anyone named Izumi?"
All Might pondered for a few seconds then nodded.
"I do. He is Jin Adachi's son."
"Jin Adachi?"
"Yes. I am greatly indebted to that man. You probably won't recognise him because he isn't a hero anymore. His hero's name was Electro.
"Electro. I think I recognise that name."
After a minute Midoriya's eyes sparkled as he remembered.
"Yes, there was a hero with that name. And he was quite famous because of his quirk and also his appearance. But he disappeared a few years ago."
"Oh! You recognised him. Yes, he had to stop being a hero because he was injured by the person who also injured me. He was an incredibly talented young man who could have become a great hero."
"I see."
"So, how do you know his son?"
"He was waiting for me at the entrance of U.A high. He said that he had something important that he needed to discuss. He told me to call him when I meet you. He even knew about your injury."
All Might was startled for a split second when he heard that Izumi knew about his secret.
'Only a handful of people should know about my injury. And neither Jin nor Aoi is among those people. So, how did he know about my injury?'
"Young Midoriya, why don't you contact him and tell him to come here?"
"Okay, All Might."
Midoriya called Izumi and told him that All Might wanted to meet him.
He sent the location of the beach to Izumi.
"It will take me 10 minutes to arrive, please wait."
'10 minutes? The Adachi estate is quite far from this beach. It should take him at least 40 minutes to arrive here even if the driver rushes.'
All Might thought to himself as he heard Izumi's voice from the cellphone.
"Alright, I will see you soon then."
Midoriya ended the call and told All Might that Izumi would be here in 10 minutes.
The duo waited for roughly around 10 minutes when they saw lightning falling from the sky and striking the ground a meter away from them.
After the lighting disappeared, they could see Izumi's figure standing in the place the lightning fell.
"Hello, All Might. Hello, Midoriya."
