Chapter Text
In this world people are born with superpowers called quirks.
I was born without one.
That’s what most people think.
Prologue:
My dad was a terrible dad. Due to his alcoholism, he was always spending our savings on beer. It was fine until one day he beat my mother. She always hid when he did. Someday I couldn’t take it anymore and faced him. I took the beating for her. “Pathetic”, he would always snarl at us. His quirk allowed him to spit fire.
Me and my mom endured it until I was about four. Then he got captured by an underground hero. After that me and my mom moved. There she met Mitsuki and her son Kacchan. I only put up to him and his bullying for the sake of my mom. She finally was happy.
Why he bullied me you may ask? Well, it’s because I don’t have a quirk like everybody else does. That’s what they think. Actually, I have quirk. From my father. I swore to never use it. Because I want to save lives not destroy them. I’m not going to be like my dad. Thankfully All Might saw my potential and even gave me his power and got into one of the most prestigious schools in Japan:
UA
With his help I will become a hero without my father’s power.
Present Day:
Today is the UA sports festival. One of the most anticipated Events of the year. Of course, I’m nervous but I’m determined to show the people what I’ve got. I somehow managed to hide my quirk during my time at UA.
When I fought Kacchan it did become close since I’ve suppressed my quirk for so long, I sometimes cough up flames. Luckily, I could smolder them in Time and blamed it on Kacchan’s explosions when I was healed by Recovery Girl. She did give me a funny look when I walked out though.
The thing bothering me most right now is one person.
Todoroki Shouto
Firstly, at the beginning of the festival he declared war on me out of nowhere even tough we have never ever even talked. Secondly right now before our match he calls me All Might’s secret love child and unloads all his daddy issues on me. I feel deeply sorry for him and his mom, but I have to focus. Maybe just maybe I can save him. I went through something similar so there is a way, right?
Of course, now I bump into his father the number 2 hero.
Endeavor
“I looked at your performance. With that powerful you could take on All Might”, Endeavor drawls. “I’m sorry but I really have to- “, I start until I get interrupted by him. “My son’s duty is to surpass All Might. Make sure to don’t deliver a pathetic match” “I am not All Might” “Everyone can see that- “ “And Shoto isn’t you.”
This talk definitely shook me up a bit but I’m going to stay focused on Shoto. The fight started with Shoto shooting up an ice wall like he did in his earlier fights. I smashed them with my fingers and one for all. Slowly I ran out of fingers due to them being broken. “Why are you going so far?”, shouts Shoto. “Because I want to become a hero who saves peoples live with a smile a smile on my face!”, I shout back, “That’s why I am giving it everything! So, is everyone else! Your wish to become the number one hero with only half your power is a massive joke!” “Shut it!”
I manage to land a punch in his gut, knocking him down. “My father…”
“Its yours! It’s your own power damn it!”
The next thing I know I collapsed on the ground coughing up flames.
Shit. I’m so close. Why now?
