   Summary

   In all the tales of the greatest heroes, there is always one thing they have in common: they moved like their bodies acted on their own. Becoming a hero was the dream Izuku Midoriya could never achieve. But when an impulse decision turns his whole life upside down, and he is given a chance, he discovers there is far more going on than what's on the surface; even within himself.
