"Izuku, be careful!!"
"No problem, Mom, I'm off to school!"
Waving goodbye to her child, Midoriya Inko was finally happy again when she heard that Midoriya Izuku got into the U.A. Support Course.
"Finally, he doesn't have to think about being a hero anymore!!"
Midoriya Inko knows better than anyone how hard her child works in his studies and physical training. He often does things secretly, probably related to becoming a hero.
But the harder Midoriya works, the more Midoriya Inko doesn't want her child to become a hero. After all, professional heroes face dangers, and she doesn't want to lose her child one day.
But now, Midoriya is going to study in the U.A. Support Course, which is known for developing hero equipment. It has a bright future and is very safe.
"That's great..." Midoriya Inko wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The Midoriya family has a tradition of crying when emotional.
Midoriya doesn't know his mom's thoughts. He's just excitedly heading to U.A. High School with his backpack, hoping to meet All Might on campus.
At the U.A. gate, Midoriya met Shinso Hitoshi. After failing the Hero Course exam, they went to other courses. Shinso went to the General Course, the most common course at U.A. High School.
The difference between the General Course and the Hero Course is that the Hero Course trains students to become top heroes with the best resources. Graduates are highly sought after by hero agencies.
The General Course also trains students to become heroes but with standard education. Compared to other schools, it's still a top hero school, but there's a big gap compared to the Hero Course.
U.A. High School also has the Business Course and Support Course. The Business Course focuses on running hero agencies, dealing with government and police, and promoting heroes to the media.
The Support Course is for inventors. U.A. has the most flexible rules, and the Support Course takes this to the extreme.
For example, Midoriya Izuku is now at the Support Course workshop door. Unlike other courses, the Support Course doesn't have classrooms. For inventors, a well-equipped workshop is the best classroom.
Before entering, Midoriya heard explosions inside. He opened the door and saw Hatsume Mei, covered in soot, coughing with a smoking device in her hand.
"Hatsume Mei, what happened?"
"Midoriya-chan, the baby exploded during the demo. It needs adjustments."
The two greeted each other, while other students were used to the explosions.
For Support Course students, explosions are common. They just need to record the data.
"Hey, you're the Midoriya who made headlines in the Support Course exam."
A man with a digger helmet greeted Midoriya.
"It's the Excavation Hero 'Power Loader'!!" Midoriya recognized him as a famous inventor and U.A. teacher.
"It's rare for a student to know my hero name, but I'm your homeroom teacher."
Power Loader introduced himself and explained the Support Course rules.
"The Support Course is different. We have the most freedom. Students can use school resources for research and inventions, but!"
"Freedom has limits. After one semester, the final exam will review your equipment. The evaluation is like the entrance exam."
"Students with failing equipment will be expelled from U.A. High School. Do you understand?"
Power Loader's words added pressure to the new students. U.A. High School doesn't tolerate slackers.
"Of course, I came to U.A. to make cute babies!!"
Hatsume Mei clapped happily, not worried about the final exam.
"Understood!"
Inspired by Hatsume Mei, the Support Course students responded to their teacher, not bothered by the threat of expulsion.
"Then let's look forward to your inventions. Now, I will announce the class!"
"Self-study!"
"What!!?"
The teacher, "Power Loader," started by telling the students to self-study, which surprised Midoriya and the other Support Course students, except for Hatsume Mei... She was actually happy to have time to test her ideas.
"Didn't I tell you that the Support Course is very free? You have plenty of time to work on your inventions. If you don't understand something, just ask me or go to the school library to look it up."
"Except for occasional activities, your time every day is free. Put all your energy into inventing and creating!"
"If you fail the final exam, it will be the end for you!"
Hearing the homeroom teacher "Power Loader," Midoriya Izuku broke into a sweat. The free school spirit of U.A. High School was indeed well-known; they let students use all their time as they see fit. Those who fail will be eliminated at the end of the term, while those who succeed will only get better!
So, Midoriya Izuku's life in the Support Course began, and then Hatsume Mei called him over.
"Midoriya-chan, your equipment is ready!"
"Huh? It's done??"
Under Midoriya's expectant gaze, Hatsume Mei took out a pair of roller shoes from a box. They had a noticeable mechanical style, with an alloy shell and wheels made of special metal, which seemed to have a purpose.
"Try them on!"
Following Hatsume Mei's suggestion, Midoriya went with her to the Support Course's testing ground, a place U.A. had specially planned for Support Course students to test mobility equipment.
After putting on the roller shoes, Midoriya carefully stood on the ground. Although he had seen others wear roller shoes, he had never worn them himself, and now he could barely keep his balance.
"Midoriya-chan, try starting them."
At Hatsume Mei's reminder, Midoriya instinctively started the roller shoes, and then... he shot off like a rocket!!
"Ahhhhh!!"
The wind blew, the shoes ran, and Midoriya Izuku screamed!!
Hatsume Mei's roller shoes were very agile, capable of reaching speeds of 150 km/h at full speed. Having never worn roller shoes before, and with such terrifying speed, Midoriya Izuku was almost suffocating.
At a speed that made his heart almost jump out of his chest, Midoriya hurriedly stopped the roller shoes' power, and then he crashed to the ground, leaving a mark!
"Um... Midoriya-chan, are you okay?"
Hatsume Mei ran to Midoriya Izuku's side and poked the still-twitching Midoriya.
"I think... I should first learn how to move with roller shoes."
...
So, Midoriya Izuku's life at U.A. High School began, starting with learning how to move freely with roller shoes!
