This is amazing, I love it! I wonder if the quirk even lead him to experience feedback so he'd learn about it in relatively safe circumstances.
It's such a powerful quirk in so many ways, foresight not only gives directions and information but can functionally replicate skills; like not needing to learn how to hi-jack a phone or hack something because it tells him the sequence of button presses to input. It has been actively teaching him how to properly care for plants since 5 years old, and that knowledge comes freely to be absorbed.
Though I have to wonder, has he been using or keeping up with Hawk's twitter in any way over the months? The gig at the Todoroki household seemed temporary, but does he still have it by the end of the chapter? Was it actually temporary-just-until-the-list-is-done or is he being fully hired as a part-time gardener and now he just walks onto the Todoroki property for their weekly garden maintenance now? I don't know what the hours for that would be, but if it's just part-time he can fit that alongside school for sure.
Now I'm just imagining a time-skip forward to UA, and they've both gotten in:
Todoroki: *staring blankly at his gardener of the past 3 years, now somehow at UA with him looking younger and with more colorful hair*
Midoriya: *freezes in panic* Hi...
Todoroki: *awkward pause* ...Dad burnt the azalea bushes down yesterday.
Midoriya: Again!?!
Edit: Oh, missed the "Doesn't Go To U.A." tag, that works too. He really doesn't need it, with Foresight. It'd mainly be a source of comedic payoff for people meeting this cryptid after years of doing Whatever The Fuck.
I've been laughing at this for awhile now, tbh I didn't quite expect anyone to pick up on that quite so fast. :D So yeah perhaps things are a little more under control then they look. And maybe his quirk is kind of horrifyingly all knowing in a couple ways. But also the reasons why it's doing things aren't always completely revealed (even to Izuku) :P
Also yeah, he's still working at the Todorokis and there'll be more nonsense in the next chapter. Oh yes, and don't worry, there will be "wait that guy??" moments coming soon
It kind of feels like a Path to Victory that does not actually tell you in words what you need to do and that he can't specify paths. Like an unrestrained Path to Victory that is just able to vibe with it's host, and I'm all for that.
