Summary:

“The Pen is Mightier then the Sword” — Edward Bulwer-Lytton
After experiencing the corruption and injustice of society first hand, Izuku reevaluates his concept of a ‘hero’, decides he doesn’t particularly want to be one according to modern societal standards and after not-so-accidentally stumbling upon a group of people who share his beliefs, formulates a plan to - diplomatically and non violently - change the world and the corrupt hero society for the better.
