The Hero and the Witch Chapter 1.
"Without a Quirk I don´t think it will be possible for you to become a hero" those words kept repeating in Izuku´s mind, what ever more All Might had said didn't seem to register, his dream was impossible, unachievable, he just stared at his idol the man he thought would understand, his last hope but now everything just felt empty. He finally snapped out of his daze as the door to the roof slammed shut.
He slowly got back on his feet and looked at his notebook, Hero Analysis for the Future No.13, What use is it to keep this? He quietly muttered to himself as he looked at it, now just I painful reminder, "I can never become a hero." With all his strength he threw the notebook of the roof tears flowing down his face as he thought back on his life, the only one that really cared for him was his mom but even she gave up on him and Kaachan… Kaachan, an idea formed in his head as hethought back on the previous events of the day.
"If you want to be a hero so bad then just pray you be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive of the roof of the building."
The idea actually started to sound reasonable, if he just jumped he would get a quirk and he could actually be a hero and Kaachan would stop to bully him. He looked down, a fall from here would definitely kill him but he hesitated, what would his mom think? He knew deep down how much she loved him and he could put her through that that's right the reasonable part of his brain told him just go home lie down and get your mind of it. And so, he started to walk home, he kept thinking about what happened until he realized where he was, it was the place where the heroes were battling the villain, but he could muster up the energy to care "why am I even here I will just end up felling useless again."
It was then he saw the sludge villain the same one that attacked him but that was impossible, All Might stopped him, then it hit him like a ton of bricks. It was his fault; the bottle must have fallen out of All Might´s pocket when Izuku was hanging on to him. The thought made him sick, he was the cause of the villain escaping but as he looked closer he saw that he villain had someone, though hard to see behind all the filth he instantly knew that blond hair.
KACHAAN! Izuku yelled as he saw his childhood friend turned bully struggle against the villain at that moment something awoke in Izuku he started running not caring if he was going to die.
"I will be a hero even if It will cost me my life and if I die here at least someone will recognize me maybe All Might would be proud?"
As he got even closer he noticed another person she was around his age had long brown and crimson eyes that was filled with terror, please help! she screamed, she sounded really desperate as she tried to extend a hand towards him.
He thought back to his notebook, "what would a hero do?" he needed a distraction to get close, so he removed his backpack and threw it with all his strength at the villain temporarily stunning him.
He finally got close enough and started to try to dig out Kaachan and the girl.
"What the fuck Deku what are you doing here?!" He yelled as continued to trash around trying to free himself.
"I-I don't know my legs just stared to move on their own" the girl suddenly screamed in pain and thinking back at it he didn't really know why he was there but there was one thing he was sure of.
"I can´t just sit back and let people die!" he yelled, tears of fear running down his face as he looked back at the villain who had already recovered it rose it arm to crush him.
This is it he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and prepared for what was to come, "I tried my best but even that wasn't good enough"
BOOOOM.
"I REALLY AM PATHETIC!" he heard a booming voice announce.
Izuku recognized that voice he heard it over a thousand times the same voice that crushed his dreams the same voice that even now filled him with hope.
"ALL MIGHT?"
He looked at me and smiled, "Pros are always risking their lives that's the true test of a hero,"
He pulled back his fist, "DETROID SMAAAAASH" the fist connected sending shockwaves through the area as the villain was blown to pieces Izuku however just looked up in a daze, what happened?
Then it hit him Kaachan, the girl. He looked around him and saw that Kaachan was lying unconscious beside him and the girl was starting to get up.
"Aww man this is not my day" she complained as she looked around rubbing her head. "Oh you are alright "she yelled and quickly ran towards him and pulled him into a hug her sudden change in behavior shocked the young boy who was blushing profoundly. "I want to thank you for jumping in and saving me I mean those other people just stood there but you ran in, by the way what´s your name?" "uhm I really didn't do anything" he said still as bright red as a tomato "the pro heroes did most of the job and the name is Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya.
"Nonsense you did something that takes either real courage or real stupidity, but you have to be brave to do stupid stuff and only then will you be able to learn" she preached on like that for a little while until she realized what she was doing and winced a bit.
"Sorry about that I get excited around new people, my name is Atsuko Kagari, but my friends call me Akko, it´s nice to meet you."
They shook hands and Izuku offered to follow her home and he learned that they had a lot in common like their love of heroes.
"So, who is your favorite hero?" Akko asked as she skipped down the street with Izuku walking behind her. "All Might he is the reason I wanted to be a hero but now well… it´s complicated."
Oh he´s cool but he´s not the best nothing can top my favorite hero, she´s beautiful, she´s cool, she´s smart I´m talking of course about the amazing Shiny Chariot!"
"Oh, the Magic hero but she disappeared a while ago didn't she? it was on the news, I actually wanted to go to one of her shows but I never could get a ticket."
"I know right I saw her when I was a child and ever since then I always wanted to be like her I even barely made it into U.A cool huh but um my quirk is not the greatest." She admitted more to herself then to him as she rubbed her arm.
Izuku was now interested even if so a bit jealous but he liked Akko and didn't want her to be sad so he tried to change the topic, "well whatever it is it´s something at least I mean I´m quirkless, I´m just Deku." He sighed the memories of what All Might said came back to him and he felt tears start to form in his eyes again, he always was an easy crier a trait he shared with his mother.
"oh your quirkless must be tough but you know I can´t even fully control my quirk either, in the beginning I couldn't even use it Hannah and Barbara used to bully me about that.
"You see my quirk is fairly common in a certain group of people we simply call it magic since it is accentually what it is but my magic is extremely weak." She explained with a sad smile "But, that still won´t stop me I will become a great hero so I can meet Chariot and then I will strive to bring happiness to everyone just like her that is my dream and no matter what happens I will succeed.
And as Izuku listened to her he started to feel happier her bubbly energy was almost contagious, and he could help but to smile.
"We are here this Is where I live bye Midoriya" she yelled as she started to run inside but then she suddenly stopped and turned around and ran back to him.
What she did next surprised both her and Izuku as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek,
Izuku´s face once more turned bright red but as he looked at her she didn't seem to fare any better
"I-I it´s a- a thanks "she stammered waving her arms around as she desperately tried to fumble out an explanation. "Anyway, uhm bye" she yelled as she rushed through the door leaving Izuku with only one thought.
What a cute girl.
