Profitable Heroics

Chapter 1: I’m Just Here for the Money

Hiiiiiii!

Izuku Midoriya did not want to be a hero.

Heroes were reckless. Heroes were underpaid. Heroes were expected to care.

And Izuku? He didn’t care. Not about justice, not about villain reform, not about “saving smiles.” He cared about one thing.

Money.

And UA’s entrance exam?

That was a paycheck waiting to be cashed.

A simple gig—go in, smash some robots, collect the hefty participation fee UA was handing out for liability reasons, and leave. No strings attached.

Easy. Right?

---

Step 1: Destroy Robots. Collect Cash. Leave.

Izuku cracked his knuckles as the exam countdown began.

He had no quirk. No fancy strength. No explosions, no lasers, no ice powers. Nothing.

But what he did have was practice.

Because when money was involved, Izuku learned how to get good at things.

And robot destruction? That was high-paying work.

Scrap metal sold for a fortune if you knew where to trade it. And let’s just say—Izuku knew.

So when the gates opened—he moved.

One. He vaulted onto a three-pointer, yanking out exposed wiring like he was harvesting cash from an ATM.

Two. He side-stepped a missile, flipped onto another bot’s shoulders, and stabbed a screwdriver straight into its processor.

Three. He drop-kicked a one-pointer so hard its head snapped clean off.

It was disturbingly efficient.

And the worst part? He wasn’t even breaking a sweat.

---

Step 2: Oh No, People Are Watching.

From the observation room, the UA staff watched in stunned silence.

"…Who is this kid?" Present Mic whispered.

Nezu leaned forward, fascinated. "Izuku Midoriya. Quirkless. Yet somehow outperforming most of our recommended students."

"Quirkless?!" Midnight’s jaw dropped. "Then—how is he—"

"Ripping robots apart with his bare hands?" Aizawa finished, staring as Izuku methodically dismantled another bot.

"And why does he look like he’s calculating resale value while doing it?" All Might added.

Because yes—Izuku wasn’t just breaking them.

He was looting them.

Stuffing valuable circuits, gears, and power cores into a makeshift duffel bag like he was preparing for a trade deal.

"He’s treating this like a business venture," Nezu mused, absolutely delighted.

"…Should we stop him?" Snipe asked.

Nezu’s eyes gleamed. "No. I want to see what he does next."

---

Step 3: Save Someone? Accidentally?

Izuku was having a great time.

Until.

"HELP!"

Izuku groaned.

Because, of course—someone had to be in danger.

He turned—and sure enough, there was a girl trapped under debris.

"Goddammit," he muttered.

This wasn’t his problem. He was only here for the paycheck.

But then—he remembered something.

Good PR \= More Opportunities \= More Money.

With a sigh, he ran over.

"Don’t move," he said, shoving debris off her with expert precision. "I’ve got this."

"You’re saving me?" The girl gasped.

"Not for free," Izuku muttered, yanking her up. "You owe me lunch."

Before she could respond—a shadow loomed over them.

The Zero-Pointer.

The massive, hulking death machine rumbled forward. People screamed.

Izuku?

He just sighed. More parts to sell.

"Stay here," he said. "I’ve got work to do."

And then—he ran straight at it.

---

Step 4: Fight the Giant Death Machine. Not for Heroics, But for Profit.

The Zero-Pointer was terrifying.

A massive, towering metal beast, crushing everything in its path. Everyone else ran.

Izuku?

He stared at it like it was a goldmine.

Because that thing’s parts were worth a fortune.

Those hydraulic systems? Expensive as hell.

That reinforced alloy plating? Premium grade.

The power core? Damn near priceless.

If he could take it down and salvage just a fraction of the materials…

That was months of rent.

"Alright," he muttered, rolling his shoulders. "Let’s do this."

And then—he sprinted straight at it.

---

Step 5: Confuse UA’s Entire Staff.

"…He’s charging the Zero-Pointer."

"WITHOUT A QUIRK."

"SHOULD WE STOP HIM?!"

The teachers were losing their minds.

Nezu, however, looked positively thrilled. "No, no. Let’s see how he handles this."

---

Step 6: Exploit Weak Points Like a Pro.

Izuku wasn’t an idiot.

He wasn’t about to punch the damn thing. That would be stupid.

No—he had a plan.

He sprinted up a fallen piece of debris, launching himself onto the Zero-Pointer’s arm.

With precision that should’ve been impossible, he scaled its side, dodging mechanical joints and exposed wiring.

And then—he found the panel he was looking for.

Every robot had a maintenance hatch.

And Izuku knew exactly where to look.

---

Step 7: Hijack the Giant Murder Bot.

"Let’s see… processor override… circuit bypass… got it."

Within seconds, he had ripped open the panel, yanked out key wiring, and rewired the damn thing to disable itself.

The Zero-Pointer froze.

Then—it powered down.

And crashed to the ground.

Silence.

Then—screaming.

From the examinees. From the teachers. From the freaking audience in the observation room.

Izuku, meanwhile, was already cutting out valuable parts.

"Holy shit," Present Mic whispered. "Did he just—"

"Single-handedly shut down a Zero-Pointer?" Aizawa finished, eyes wide.

"WITH A SCREWDRIVER?"

"He’s looting it," Midnight pointed out. "Like—right now."

Nezu was smiling. "Interesting. Very interesting."

---

Step 8: Realize He Accidentally Passed.

"Hey, uh… thanks for saving me!"

Izuku turned. The girl from earlier (who totally owed him lunch) smiled nervously.

"That was incredible!" she said. "What’s your quirk?"

Izuku blinked. "I don’t have one."

Silence.

"Wait, WHAT?!"

Before Izuku could answer—Present Mic’s voice boomed across the arena.

"THE EXAM IS OVER!"

"Please exit the field!"

Izuku frowned. He wasn’t done salvaging.

But before he could argue, the staff rushed him off.

---

Step 9: Get an Unexpected Letter.

Izuku sat in his apartment, ripping open the envelope from UA.

He expected a check. His participation fee.

Instead—

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE HERO COURSE!"

Izuku froze.

"…What."

Then—

"WHAT?!"

---

To Be Continued…?

How’s that? Izuku accidentally hacked the Zero-Pointer, salvaged its parts, and unknowingly passed the exam. Let me know if you want the chaos of him entering UA!

---

Step 10: Try (and Fail) to Reject UA’s Offer.

Izuku stared at the acceptance letter.

Then at the UA logo.

Then back at the letter.

"Nope."

He grabbed his phone and immediately dialed the number listed.

"Hello, this is UA High School’s Hero Course Admissions Office!"

"Yeah, hi," Izuku said. "There’s been a mistake. I didn’t mean to apply."

A pause. "Sir, you took the exam—"

"Yeah, for the paycheck," Izuku interrupted. "Not for the acceptance. So, uh, I’ll just take the money and—"

"I’m sorry, but you scored the highest in the practical exam."

Izuku froze.

"…What."

"Yes! With your performance against the Zero-Pointer, strategic precision, and rescue points—"

"That wasn’t a rescue, that was a financial investment—"

"—you earned a record-breaking score!"

"No, see, I think you’re missing the point—"

"Classes begin Monday! Congratulations again!"

The call ended.

Izuku stared at his phone.

Then at his bank account.

Then back at his acceptance letter.

"Goddammit."

---

Step 11: Survive the First Day Without Committing Tax Fraud.

Izuku stepped into Class 1-A, deeply regretting every choice that had led him here.

The moment he walked in—

"OI, WHAT THE HELL?!"

Ah. Bakugo.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE, DEKU?!"

Izuku sighed. "Believe me, Kacchan, I wish I wasn’t."

"THEN LEAVE—"

"I tried."

Bakugo froze. "Wait. What?"

"They wouldn’t let me."

"You—" Bakugo stared. "You tried to decline UA?"

"Yes."

Silence.

Then—absolute chaos.

"YOU DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO BE HERE?!"

"WHAT KIND OF PERSON TRIES TO REFUSE UA?"

"HOW DID YOU EVEN PASS?!"

"I DON’T KNOW, I JUST WANTED THE MONEY!"

The class went dead silent.

"…The what?"

Izuku sighed, massaging his temples. "Look, I took the exam for the paycheck, but apparently hacking a Zero-Pointer gets you into UA."

"YOU HACKED IT?!"

"WITH A SCREWDRIVER?!"

Izuku blinked. "Yeah?"

"Bro, what the hell."

---

Step 12: Aizawa’s Immediate Regret.

"Alright, problem children," Aizawa droned, stepping into the classroom. "Welcome to UA. Put on your gym uniforms and get outside."

Izuku groaned. More work?

"We’re doing a quirk assessment test."

"HA!" Bakugo smirked. "This is where we see who’s really cut out for UA."

Izuku rolled his eyes. "I already know I’m not cut out for UA, can I go home?"

"No."

"Damn."

---

Step 13: "Quirkless" Does Not Equal "Helpless."

Test 1: The Ball Throw.

"Deku, go." Bakugo tossed the ball at him. "Try not to embarrass yourself."

Izuku sighed. He wasn’t super strong like the others, but he was very good at breaking things.

So—he threw it.

And it didn’t go far.

Izuku nodded. "Cool, I failed. I can go now—"

"*No.**"

Damn.

---

Test 2: The 50-Meter Dash.

Izuku? Fast.

Not because of super speed, but because he knew how to run when people were chasing him for debts.

"Deku, why are you so fast?" Kaminari panted.

"Years of dodging telemarketers and credit scams."

"What the hell does that mean?!"

---

Test 3: Grip Strength.

"Deku, why is your grip so strong?" Kirishima blinked.

"Years of dismantling machines for resale."

Aizawa just stared. "Do you… steal cars?"

"No, but I could."

"What the f—"

---

Step 14: Profit Off the Confusion.

By the end of the test, Aizawa had many questions.

Izuku had one.

"So, uh," he asked, "do we get paid for these training sessions?"

Aizawa sighed. "No."

"Damn. What about sponsorship deals?"

"No."

"Hero brand merchandise?"

"…Are you trying to monetize your hero training?"

"Of course."

Aizawa looked so tired.

"Midoriya," he said, "you’re not supposed to be in this for the money."

"Then why the hell else would anyone do this job?!"

Silence.

"…You know what? Fair enough."

---

Step 15: Accept Fate. (But Not Really.)

Izuku still didn’t want to be a hero.

But—

UA had free housing.

UA had free food.

UA had networking opportunities.

And if he played his cards right…

He could make a killing off of this school.

"Fine," Izuku sighed. "I’ll stay."

The class cheered.

Aizawa groaned.

Bakugo screamed.

And Izuku?

He started planning his first business venture.

Step 1: Sell UA-themed merchandise.

Step 2: Profit.

Step 3: Escape this life before anyone realized what he was doing.

---

To Be Continued…?

---

And there you have it! Izuku, against his will, is now at UA. But instead of training to be a hero, he’s treating this like a business opportunity.

Want me to continue with him monetizing everything while somehow becoming UA’s biggest success story?
