Izuku Midoriya grew up wanting to be a hero like his role model, and fans know how close the boy is to reaching that goal. He may not be the Symbol of Peace yet, but Deku has gone through hell in just his first year at UA Academy.

Clearly, Izuku has his head set on saving the country all while keeping everyone safe. He is the kind of person to put others before himself, so this selfless decision comes at no surprise. There is little doubt others like Bakguo and Ochaco are taking the time to level up their own quirks while Izuku is doing his own thing, so readers will have that to look forward to as well.
