  Summary

  Not all men are created equal, that was a lesson Izuku learned very early on. Now in some worlds he would go on to inherit All Might's quirk and become a great hero. But what-if he never inherited One for All, but instead inherited a different legacy with a mentor that actually knew how to teach?

  OR

  Izuku can see spirits and magic flows unseen through society, how will this change Izuku's path to becoming a hero?
