  Summary

  According to the law, a hero is a person who has a license to use their quirk for the greater good. That’s why so many teenagers get marked in their records for vigilantism for using their quirk in public.

  This is a fact Izuku learned when he first entered Yuuie. It wasn’t after he had gotten OFA, after he already was in the top one hero school of the country, that he learned you can’t be quirkless and a hero.

  It’s something that Izuku remembers now, when he realizes his dream is over. And that he would have to give up heroics once again.

  ———————-

  Or: Izuku is left quirkless after the war and realizes that he can’t be a hero. He sets off to American to study in the Openmind Arts Academy. There, he meets new people and makes friends who actually give a damn about him.
