Midoriya Izuku wants nothing more than to become a hero. Not only does he have the desire, but the determination to see it through -- too bad he doesn't have a Quirk. But that's a disadvantage, not a ''dealbreaker'', right? Lots of professional heroes have managed to succeed while despite not being able to apply their quirks to every challenge they face...
Like Eraserhead. Which is why Izuku turns up on his doorstep in order to ask for his help after spending weeks tracking him down. Aizawa wasn't exactly looking to take on some second-year middle schooler as a student, yet here he is.
