Izuku POV

Hopes and dreams come and go.

One in particular never left me.

"Make a wish."

It was the only birthday I ever had.

At the age of three Izuku Midoriya made one singular wish.

To believe in something worth believing in.

Not quite knowing the full context.

When I was sobbing into my pillow that night I realized something.

I wanted to wish for something, something new, something selfish.

I wanted something for me.

I don't know why it was so important to attend this mysterious school but it was.

I didn't know where it was or even how to get there.

I knew one thing though: I would go to this school if it was the last thing I did.

I carried on as usual wearing the same old uniform I've had since the eighth grade.

I was 15 almost 16.

Not that I was counting down the days or anything...

Maybe I was.

Two days have passed since then but I've been slowly packing my small room away.

I would go even if I had no clue where to.

I was done.

I wanted to believe in something...

Anything.

Today was also the day I received a peculiar note in my locker.

I unfolded it since the only notes I get are ones of hatred.

Stupid Medusa and her gang always being mean to me this is probably another prank of theirs.

Dearest Zu,

You might not remember me but I remember you,
Eyes like the forest,
Hair like the waves of the sea,
Come at the peer at six if you want to meet me

~ A person from the past

I was intrigued to say the least but it probably wasn't safe.

Not in the least.

"Oi damn brat where are you going?!"
- Uncle

"To get... some fish for a special dinner."

"Tch Whatever not like we care."
- Auntie

"Love you too..."

Not.

So I went to the peer.

The sun was already setting.

Maybe they won't be coming.

As soon as I turned around I felt a pair of hands grab me from behind.

I let out a gasp and whirled around to see the culprit.

"Who are you?!"

"Me? Oh such a shame you don't remember me... The mage Todoroki."

"To.. do.. roki?"

"That's my name."

"How do I know you."

"A chance in counter eons ago."

"I have a bad memory as it is so please enlighten me?"

"That's a story for another time..."

"Then what do you need me for?"

"About your transfer into the Yuuei."

"Wait. WAIT. HOLD UP DID YOU SAY YOU WERE A MAGE?!"

"The one and only."

"I thought..."

"What that mages wore pointy hates and long robes and had long white beards."

"Well yeah..."

"If you saw a mage like that so easily in public that would ruin the purpose of hiding your identity. We're not some character out of Game of Thrones or Once Upon a Time ya know."

"Sheesh. I got the message. So what is it you wanted to talk about?"

I smiled internally of what this man says is true then after all this time maybe I really do have something to believe in.

That something to believe in is a future.
