Katsuki points out that doing so could destroy Toshinori's legacy, as people might consider him a fraud if they learn the truth about One For All.

** Since All Might served as a Symbol of Peace, his retirement has left the public nervous and emboldened criminals. Tokuda's claims tap directly into the masses' desire for reassurance; people ''want'' to believe that there's already plans in place to account for his absence, and they latch onto the rumor as a result.
** Katsuki suggests that if it became widely known that One For All wasn't Toshinori's ''original'' Quirk, it would [[BrokenPedestal shatter everyone's faith in their former symbol]], since that wasn't ''his'' strength that protected them for so long.
* HumbleHero: Key to Tokuda's claims that Mashiro is All Might's successor is his decision to step down during the School Festival, giving up his place in the tournament because he believed that he hadn't earned it fairly (since Shinso's brainwashing meant that he didn't remember how they won).

Some folks will do ''anything'' for a story. Doesn't matter what rules they have to bend - or break - while they're GoingForTheBigScoop. Doesn't matter who might get hurt as a result, so long as it's not ''them'' suffering the consequences.
After one such individual pays U.A.'s campus a visit, a bombshell is dropped upon the world in the form of a tabloid article: '''U.A. Exposed: All Might secretly training the next Symbol of Peace?!''' But Izuku's horror swiftly gives way to confusion when he learns that ''he's'' not the subject of this headline.
Ojiro Mashirao is.
Inspired by Season 4's {{Filler}} opener, "[[Recap/MyHeroAcademiaS4E1TheScoopOnUAClass1A The Scoop on U.A. Class 1-A]]", marysuofyay's ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21047699/chapters/50066084 Exoteric]]'' takes Tokuda Taneo's suspicions about All Might having a secret successor at the school and has him focus his crosshairs on the wrong target. Suddenly Mashirou finds himself thrust into the spotlight... and with the full attention of the League of Villains, who are just as drawn in by the publicity stunt as the rest of Japan.

!!This fanfic contains examples of:
* AccidentalInnuendo: While it's ambiguous as to just how ''accidental'' it was, Mei's declaration that she wants to make a baby with Ojiro is enough to throw all her peers into a dead silence.
* AskAStupidQuestion: The paparazzi who asks Ojiro's mother whether her son is All Might's illegitimate child probably didn't '''care''' about the validity of such a claim... until she points out the ''sheer stupidity'' of that question.
-->'''Ojiro's Mother:''' ''[while laughing]'' "Oh, ''brilliant'' deduction skills you have going on there! Yes, makes perfect sense, out of all the people in the world, the number one hero just ''happened'' to meet a random primary school teacher and have a torrid tryst, and my son just ''happened'' to end up with a tail exactly like my husband of twenty-two years, just like the rest of his siblings! Good job, people!"
* BaitAndSwitch: Done twice over in the first chapter; not only does Izuku initially assume that the article's about him, but when he realizes otherwise, mistakenly assumes that Tokoyami was the victim.
* BizarreTasteInFood: Tsuyu considers cicadas to be quite the seasonal treat.
* ChocolateBaby: {{Inverted}}; Mashiro's mother points out that all of her children, Mashiro included, have [[StrongFamilyResemblance inherited their father's tail]].
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Upon seeing the headline, Iida is aghast... at how the reporter ''lied to'' the principal and their teacher.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Iida notes that Tokuda could have torn into and insulted each of the students he ruled out as potential successors, but chose not to... aside from dismissing Bakugo as 'too mean'.
* ForWantOfANail:
** Tokuda figured out one of the school's secrets, but fingered the wrong candidate for All Might's successor.
** During a team exercise, Aoyama brings up how he and Ojiro both 'assisted' Shinsou during the Sports Festival, only for Ojiro to give up the opportunity that he felt he hadn't rightly earned while Aoyama... didn't. He expresses his relief that Ojiro wound up as the center of attention rather than him.
* TheGenericGuy: Shigaraki complains that Mashiro seems far too ''average'' to be the successor, before wondering whether hiding him among the '[=NPCs=]' was, in fact, the whole point.
* HeroicBSOD: Ojiro enters one that makes him look remarkably like a kicked puppy as the ramifications of the article's existence sink in.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The media circus that forms outside the Ojiro residence stumbles headlong into this thanks to broadcasting live... meaning that his mother's brutal mockery of their attempts to suggest [[ChocolateBaby her son is All Might's secret love child]] is broadcast live as well.
* IResembleThatRemark: When Denki lazily declares that Tokuda was ''right'' to dismiss Katsuki as 'too mean' to be All Might's successor, Katsuki immediately snarls at him.
* MediaScrum:
** The first of these that poor Mashiro gets subjected to is a variation with U.A.'s ''business and support'' students, who descend upon him in a manner akin to sharks.
** Another forms outside his family's home, peppering his mother with questions about her son - and her fidelity.
* MoralDilemma: Izuku grapples with guilt over the notion that ''he'' should be the one getting harassed instead of his classmate, and whether or not he should come forward with the truth. Katsuki points out that doing so could destroy Toshinori's legacy, as people might consider him a fraud if they learn the truth about One For All.
* MortonsFork: As Aizawa points out, denying the article's claims won't do any good, as many people simply [[CassandraTruth won't believe them]]. But claiming that there's any truth to it won't make things better, either.
* {{Paparazzi}}: One kickstarts the plot, and many more of his peers make appearances throughout the story as they aim to milk his 'discovery' for all it's worth.
* SeriousBusiness: Uraraka and Sato immeidately leap to the defense of food photography as an art form, and Jiro admits that she's interested in seeing whatever pictures Ochako intends to send Ojiro as proof.
* SkewedPriorities: When they see Mashiro's mom being harassed by reporters, Mina is briefly distracted by the [[CutenessProximity sight of his baby brothers]].
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: If not for Katsuki's intervention, Izuku would have combined this with SayingTooMuch while under the impression that the article was about ''him''.
