    Summary

    UA has a rule—no quirkless students. It was added years ago, after much hemming and hawing about safety concerns and lessening blame in the inevitable circumstance of death. There's no real reason to remove it, not as the percentage of quirkless people plummets further and further.

    Of course, this rule doesn't actually matter to Izuku, because he's got an analysis quirk.

    As far as anyone knows.

    The Plan is simple: have a quirk, become a hero, and avoid anyone who could disprove those first two things.

    In hindsight, UA isn't a great choice. And that's before the villains.

    - Harry's trauma and abuse affects him more then he let's on same as Severus who is still heavily affected by his past
    -> both of them try to find a way to communicate even if it consists of shouting and then apologizing for it
    -> i swear they try
