MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Toshinori glanced down at the boy as rain fell down all around them. Yes, the boy definitely had a heroic spirit, but just being near the power of one of Toshinori's full-strength punches was enough to practically knock him out. If he were to have that power inside him... his body wouldn't be able to handle it, he'd break! Giving a weak body so much power would be irresponsible, no matter how strong his spirit was. Besides, Toshinori's power was running out; he needed a strong successor. The boy would be able to find other ways to help people.

Recovery Girl(bashing her cane on a certain somebody's head): He is a strong successor, but your other self is an idiot. Not that you're really any better.

All Might: Can both of you please stop hitting me for things the other mes do?

Gran Torino and Recovery Girl: Well we can't hit them so we'll settle with you.

Tsukauchi: Oh boy...

"You're just a quirkless failure that wouldn't even cut it as a rent-a-cop Deku!" Kacchan screamed. "You didn't help me! You did nothing! I don't owe you anything! You got that?"

Izuku nodded fearfully as Kacchan stalked off. He was right, Izuku really hadn't done anything except get in the way. But at least he'd tried. It had been... weirdly exhilarating, that one moment of risking his life for someone else before giving up on his dreams forever.

Joke: ...Is he an adrenaline junkie?

Aizawa: That would explain a lot actually...

If you wanna be a hero so bad, take a swan dive off the roof and pray you'll be born with a quirk in the next life.

Mitsuki: He told him that in this world too?

Inko(crying): Oh poor Izuku...

Izuku shook his head. No, Kacchan was just being mean, Izuku didn't actually want to die, right? That's not why he'd run in to stop that villain. The rush was just because he'd deluded himself into thinking he was helping Kacchan. And there were plenty of other ways to help people, just like All Might had said. He could become a policeman!

Tsukauchi: That would be good.

You wouldn't even cut it as a rent-a-cop .

No, it would probably be best to do some research when he got home. There had to be other people out there that realized they couldn't be heroes, right? Maybe he could do some digging online and find out what careers they went into?

(everyone groaned)

He walked into the apartment and was immediately almost knocked off his feet as his mom ran to hug him, "Oh, Izuku, baby! I was so worried! What were you thinking?"

"I guess I wasn't." Izuku chuckled. "Sorry, Mom."

After finally convincing his crying mother that he was, in fact, alive and well, he took a shower and then sat down with his laptop to look into alternate careers. The question now was what to type into the search engine.

Kaminari: Yeah, relatable.

Kodai: Especially when you screw up the keywords.

What to do when you can't be a hero.

The search algorithm must be designed to search for any word in the entered phrase because the top results were all interview clips from various pro heroes giving the anyone can be a hero speech. Lies.

Spinner(scowling): Unfortunately society has other ideas.

Shinso: Mm-hm.

Halfway down the page, however, Izuku finally saw a result that looked halfway-like what he was actually searching for.
