Izuku slightly fought back against Katsuki after he had taken his notebook, something finally breaking apart inside of him. A new hatred for Katsuki arose; rather, not really hatred, but a sudden bump of realization. Why? Because Izuku finally had his quirk and was convinced that he could become a hero with it, despite not having the slightest clue of how it truly worked. It was because he knew that he could become a hero now, that he had finally realized that Katsuki wasn't being rough with friendship; he was being a bully. He had always thought that Katsuki was just trying to push his buttons, always trying to get a reaction, but it stood clear to him what Katsuki was truly saying.
Of course, Izuku lost the small battle, receiving a few bruises in the rise of the action, but it was worth it. Thankfully, the "fight" didn't last long. For the first time in years, Izuku stood up for himself, and he didn't care that he lost.
WIS has increased through a series of wise thoughts and epiphanies; Izuku could agree with that. Why didn't he see it sooner?
The magic within begins to stir a little louder...
When Izuku reached the small outside fountain, he lowered down into it and reached for his notebook. Inside, he prayed that the information inside would be okay—not from the water, due to being water-resistant—but to the explosion that burned it to a crisp.
Reaching down for his notebook, Izuku flicked away the small fish that was nibbling on its edges, not wanting to bring it out of the water and hurt it. After fully pulling it away from the water, he opened the notebook and flipped through the pages. Thankfully, they were fine, and his newest additions to the notebook hadn't been damaged in the slightest, although a little watery.
LUK has increased by 1
Izuku squinted at the notification, thinking. 'So my LUK increases through… being lucky?' Izuku returned his notebook into his bag and continued his way down to his home. 'I guess it makes sense… but just how much does a single increase affect me? Like if I get six more strength, will I be twice as strong? Or will it multiply itself to become more effective in a numeral system?'
Izuku had finally figured it out, having looked over his notes and the help menu for quite some time now. He was 10 or so minutes away from home, only a block or so until he actually reached the halfway point: the bridge. He thought he would've been able to keep his curiosity at bay until he got home, but he succumbed to it, letting his inquisitive mind get the best of him.
'Status,' Izuku thought. A large green light appeared in front of him and showed him his stats, but only the ones that Izuku was looking for. It seemed to him that the 'quirk' understood multiple functions and commands, being able to give a less jumbled stack of information.

Izuku hummed in thought as he finished the last bit, grinning to himself at the rarity of the skill he unlocked. That wasn't to mention its usefulness, too. By now, Izuku was fully convinced that he had a quirk, and he couldn't imagine the look on his mother's face when he tells her about it. 'She will probably faint,' Izuku imagined, 'I should make sure she takes a seat before I—'
Izuku's thought process froze, his body becoming numb as it was lifted off the ground violently. Out of instinct, Izuku's irises widened, and his mind became wild, sucking in as much information as it could. 'I'm being attacked!' he realized. Without hesitation, Izuku turned his head to the large mass of sludge, [Analyze!] he fretted quickly. In correspondence, his irises turned entirely red, going into overdrive. Time didn't begin to slow, rather, Izuku was reading the world much quicker.

Just as the warning said, his MP levels were barely hanging onto a thread. One more use and he would certainly faint. 'I-I need to stay alive long enough for All-Might to—' Izuku paused, seeing that the tendrils were coming towards his face, but before they could enter his mouth, he slipped his hand over his mouth and pinched his nose, blocking the sludge from entering. WIT has increased by one for your quick thinking. It wasn't the biggest plan, but it blocked the sludge from entering and most definitely bought him some time. The villain noticed, and attempted to slap away Izuku's hand, but failed to get underneath it because of the sheer amount of sweat on his hands.
"Move your hands, you damn kid!" the villain blurted, "it won't take long, so just give me your body, and this will all be over within 45 seconds!"
The villain continued to pry at Izuku's hands but hadn't made a dent through them. It was due to the low amount of MP that his body began to sweat so much, preventing the mass of sludge to get through. 'Where are you, All-Might!?'
The villain finally had enough and threw Izuku to the ground; he started to crawl away. "Goddammit! JUST GIVE ME YOUR BODY! FOR ONE FUCKING MINUTE!"
Again, the villain shot forward, although slower. This gave Izuku just enough time to reach for one of his water bottles that were expunged from his bag. With a quick twist of the cap, he faced the bottle towards the villain and squeezed it, showering the villain in water.
[ENTER FIRST-PERSON]
"WHY THE HELL!?" The chunk of slime screamed at me, obviously annoyed. Just like the analysis screen said, the villain started to lose its viscosity. Unfortunately, it didn't fall apart as I expected it to.
POP
It was foolish of me to look back, but the sound had caught me by surprise, and I couldn't resist. A grin formed on my face as I realized who it was that had jumped out of the sewers. All-Might. I was filled with hope upon seeing his famous smile glaring in the sun. The villain, though, had a different response; cursing at All-Might and slowly sliding away in hopes of an escape. Of course, this didn't work, and All-Might apprehended him with a Missouri Smash. Part of me was hoping to see a Texas Smash, but I was more than happy to witness one of his other most famous Smashes.
Once the villain was scattered against the walls, All-Might turned to me, his smile brighter than ever. "Thank goodness you're alright, kid. I was worried I might've been too late!" All-Might apologized with a bow. I returned the gesture, "n-no! You w-were j-just in time, All-Might! THANK YOU!"

All-Might stopped his bowing and picked up Izuku's water bottle from the ground. He turned to Izuku with a dubious look, "littering is bad, young man. There are plenty of Recycling bins in the area, so make sure to use them wisely."
Izuku frowned and waved his hands. "I-I wasn't littering, I swear!" he protested. "I just… I figured out he was weak to water, so I splashed him with my water bottle! I k-knew you were coming, so I had t-to buy some time until you—!"
All-Might scooped up the last bit of sludge on the ground and returned to Izuku. "How is it that you knew he was weak to water, young man?" he asked, curious. Izuku flushed and put a hand to the back of his neck, "I just… I g-guessed?"
'Why didn't I just tell him it was my quirk!?' Izuku screamed at himself mentally. His thoughts were cut short when All-Might pat him on the back and said, "well you made a great guess, then, kid!" he turned away and looked up. His time was running out, and he had maybe a minute or so left based on the pain in his chest.
He was about to leave when Izuku suddenly reached out to his uniform, his eyes begging. "Wait, All-Might!" he begged. All-Might looked back at Izuku, slightly annoyed about having to deal with another fan. "Whatever it is, make it as quick as—"
"Is it possible to become a hero without a quirk!?" Izuku shouted, somehow out-doing All-Mights booming voice in its own spectacular way. 'I-I know I'm not quirkless… anymore… but I need to know. I need to know if it was possible to begin with!'
