Guess what? I'm not dead! Don't worry, there's an explanation for all of this. I've made this story because I was hyped on soda's and sugary drinks and with an abundance of free time. And so, let's roll this one out of here!
Update: Thanks to InsertImaginativeNameHere for the beta work, now this chapter here will be more spicier than ever!
"Can a person like me… become a hero without a Quirk?"
"I don't know, I mean, I managed to get this far without one so, your guess is as good as mine."
"I-I-I mean, I know that! It's just… the way that you handled yourself… it was unlike anything I've seen… since…"
"...Listen, I don't know what you've heard or had experienced in your childhood, but you have to know something. Just because you're Quirkless doesn't mean that you're weak!"
"...! But that's-!"
"Just listen to what I have to say first, alright?! Haaaaa... Look, it's true that about 90% of the population has a Quirk and that the rest don't, therefore they became the butt of a joke for most people and are considered weak... HOWEVER! They failed to realize that even when you are born a Quirk in this world doesn't mean that you are the most powerful! Sure there are people with very powerful Quirks in the world and are the strongest in the world, for example All Might, but they have yet to realize that there are those that have the power to take away their Quirks and use it to their advantage!"
"I want to be the one to show the world how it is useless to rely on the heroes too much and that they should focus on becoming stronger and working together to help those in need! The heroes out there that are 'protecting' the civilians, they're fakes! Fakes that only fight for fame, wealth and power! Fakes that don't care about the population and ignore those in need of true help! Fakes… that let people die just to rise up the ranks… Now you see why I hate heroes like them. Heroes that have lost their way towards the path of a true hero…"
"..."
"...And yet…"
"Huh?"
"When you ran out there, I saw something in you. Something burning with the passion of saving those in need, despite not having a Quirk of your own. Something filled with determination to protect those in need of protecting. Something… like the heart of a true hero."
"But… I was the one that let the villain get away! I was the one that distracted you when you were facing against that villain! And when I got there... I... I..."
"No, you did something on that day. Something that no one was willing to do at all during that time. You were willing to risk your own life to save those in need. That's… something that marks a true hero. And that means-!"
"...!"
"YOU CAN BECOME A HERO!"
"AH… AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAAAAAAAAA!"
Twenty-four hours ago
In a world where most of its population possess something called "Quirks", a supernatural phenomenon that is spreading throughout the world, giving them superpowers that were thought to be impossible to obtain, this has led to the term "hero" becoming real and it is their duty to protect the citizens from harm at all cost. Yet, despite this, the remaining population are known as "Quirkless", individuals that possess no unique features or powers and are mocked as weak. And it is that we see a certain individual walking towards his school one day with bright eyes, filled with hope and determination.
That student is named Midoriya Izuku, a Quirkless 14 year old boy with nothing but dreams to keep him going. He has green eyes, freckles on both of his cheeks and curly hair with green highlights. As of right now, he's currently wearing his standard school uniform with a dark colored coat and pants with yellow buttons that ran down from his neck to his waist and red boots. As of now, students around him are looking at him with mocking looks and snickering as if they've heard the funniest joke. Nevertheless, he ignores them while mumbling to himself about the Quirks he'd seen this morning.
"Now listen up! It's high time now that you think about your future!" The day had been a bit rowdy as the students in a certain classroom were talking to their friends or peers about things that they'd done over their day off when their homeroom teacher came in and started to telling everyone to sit back down in their seats. "As many of you know, you are all third year students and your time in this school is coming to an end, so in order to determine where you will go when you graduate-" He then pulled out a stack of papers in his hand and showed them to the class, "I will now distribute your career aspiration document!" He was about to hand out a paper from the stack… before carelessly throwing them into the air. "But hey, all of you wanted to become heroes, right?" It wasn't a question and more like a statement as the students began to show off their Quirks in front of their teacher, letting them know that they all wanted to become heroes. "But don't use your Quirks in public, alright?!"
"Teacher, don't lump me with others!" a student suddenly yelled to the teacher as they voiced their confidence to the room. That student was named Katsuki Bakugou, a 14 year old boy that was born with the Quirk "Explosion", capable of making explosions with his sweat at will, with blond spiky hair, red eyes and standard middle school uniform.
"What the hell do you mean, Bakugou!?"
"Shut up, you secondary characters! You have no part in my upcoming story!"
"Ah yeah, you're going to Yuuei, aren't you?" At that, everyone flinched as they remembered what he said previously.
"Whoa, you serious?! That school takes a score of 79 to even enroll there!"
"There's also been talk that the entrance exam is as hard that most people that partake in it don't enroll.. At least, I think so?!"
"It's really not surprising that side characters like you are quaking in your shoes!" Bakugou then jumped onto his desk and roared to the classroom. "I'll be the only one from this shitty school to enroll into Yuuei and no one else! I'll surpass All Might and become the number one hero in the world! I'll leave my name for others to know that I'll be the richest person to all!"
"Huh, if that's the case, you're not the only one trying to enroll there. Midoriya is also going to Yuuei."
That made everyone stop what they were doing and look at the boy digging his head into his desk and laugh at him.
"No way! You, a Quirkless loser like you?!"
"Get real! You won't even get into Yuuei by just studying!"
"A-a-ah, but I-I won't know until I try! And even then-!" The boy didn't get to what he was about to say when the blond haired kid suddenly used his Quirk and blew up the boy's desk, causing him to flung back towards the ground. Once the boy was able to get his bearings, he could see that Katsuki was standing in front of him and pinning him with a murderous glare.
"Fucking Deku! I'm going to be the only one to attend to Yuuei! You're just a Quirkless nobody that just clings onto dreams and hopes! Well, I got newsflash for you, Deku! Give up on your dreams of becoming a hero, because I don't want any more competition from anyone!"
"T-that's not true Kacchan! I'm not t-t-t-trying to compete with you! I just want… it's been my goal since I was little… even if I don't have a Quirk, I wanted to at least try..." The boy looked down to the ground and stared as if it was the most interesting thing to see in the classroom.
Bakugou looked at Izuku in disgust as he watched Izuku cowering in fear. And to add even more fuel to the fire, he then lit his hands with miniature explosions as he stood there, an imposing figure. "The hell do you mean by that, huh?! Tell me, what is it that you're capable of, huh?! And also, tell me this!
"What can a Quirkless loser like you do?"
Izuku looked down in shame as the reality of not having a Quirk came back and slapped him in the face. Since the announcement was made that Izuku was Quirkless, everyone started to bully him and mock him for his weakness. Even Bakugou, former childhood friend, now turned bully, had also joined in on the fray, but every time the topic of Izuku becoming a hero was spoken, he'd get into a frenzy and start to rant that he could never become a hero. The realization of being Quirkless had stuck with him since he was in elementary school and all the way to where he was now. But, even if he was told to give up on his dream, he never did and instead studied every known Quirk known to mankind and marked them down on his notebook. The latest being "For the Future: Hero Analysis #13".
Suddenly, while everyone was mocking Izuku, a small rock found its way through the window and hit Katsuki in the head. "Who the hell threw that?!" He looked at everyone with a glare, to see who it was that dared throw something at him. Everyone had their hands up in a "don't hurt me" manner and looked at him in fear as he was searching for the one who threw that small object at him. No one, not even Izuku, knew who threw it in the first place.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the room, a figure was standing right outside of the outskirts of the school on a building, looking through a pair of binoculars. "Damn kids picking on the Quirkless, I swear, the ones who were born with a Quirk should really be grateful that they were born with one in the first place." This figure, in particular, was wearing what appeared to be a high-tech suit, outfitted with various technology fit for stealth missions. The only unusual thing about it was that it was made in a form of a suit with a dagger on their left side and a gun on the other.
"Now if only that guy finally would show up." He took out a cigarette from his suit's pockets and raised it to his mouth as he started to light the cig and smoke. " HuuueeeeHaaaaa… Seriously, what's taking that guy so long anyways? The guy said that he's suppose to be here by now…"
BE-BE-BE-BEEP! BE-BE-BE-BEEP!
Just as he said that, a beeping sound came from within his pocket. "...You have got to be kidding me." With a moment of reluctance, he took out a small mobile phone and answered it. "Do I even want to know?"
"..."
"What?! Are you serious?! What the hell am I supposed to do for money then, huh?!"
"..."
"..."
"Okay, look, my rent is coming up and I need that money to help pay it and you're telling that my client decided to bail on me, just because he was scared of me!?"
"..."
"Yeah, well fuck you too then! Do you know how it feels to not have what I need to get those ingredients for my anniversary?! And just so you know, I'm going to be the one cooking here!"
"...!"
"Yeah, that's what I thought. Call me when you got another client coming. I'll be in touch."
With that, he closed his phone and continued to admire the scenery in front of him and yet, he sighed in frustration as he thought back to the conversation he had on the phone. 'Damn it! What the hell am I supposed to do now?! That guy was my only chance of getting the money I need and he just decided to up and ran away! All because he knows about who I am from my reputation!' Again, he sighed in frustration as he ruffled his smooth red hair.
"Well, at least I helped out a bit for that kid, so maybe it's not all that bad."
After that the whole fiasco of Bakugou looking for the one who throw the small rock at him and the teacher having calmed the rest of the class down, the day finally ended and every student was quickly leaving. Izuku, being the only one left, packed his things slowly as he ran his thoughts back to what had happened. 'I maybe Quirkless, but that doesn't that I don't want to try! Even if I don't have one, I still want to be a hero!' As he was just about done, a hand suddenly shot out in front of him, grabbing the notebook that was in his hand. He looked up and saw his notebook in the hands of Katsuki Bakugou and his lackeys.
"For the future! Pffft, seriously Midoriya?! That's just pathetic right here!"
"Ah, my notebook! Please give it back!"
"Hm? Oh yeah, here you go!" Bakugou blew the notebook in his hands, leaving the cover and the insides a bit charred.
"Wha-!? Kacchan, that's just too cruel, even for you!"
"Listen here Deku." He then threw the book out the open window and it shocked Izuku, but not before Bakugo placed his hand on his shoulder. "I'm going to be the only one going to Yuuei and I don't want you or anyone else getting in my way! But hey, let me give one piece of advice for you, as old childhood friends." He then gave a mocking smile at him as he let out smoke from his hand. "Forget about passing into Yuuei, you fucking nerd!"
Izuku, being scared of Bakugou, just stood there with his feet planted to the ground and looked down in shame as he and his "friends" were walking away. "Oh yeah! If you really wanted a Quirk, here's an idea! Why don't you just jump off the roof and hope that in the next life, you'll be blessed with a Quirk that isn't as weak!" He laughed at Izuku along with his lackys before completely leaving him alone in the classroom. Izuku quietly took in the abuse, quickly went towards the fish pond that was just outside of the classroom that he was just in and left the campus to go home.
He took the long way back home under a tunnelway as he thought back to when it was just announced that he was Quirkless. The times that he was bullied because of his Quirkless status throughout his childhood, the time where he was told to give up his dream of becoming a hero…
The time where his mother was telling him "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry Izuku…"
He shook his head to dispel the negative thoughts that were roaming around his head and looked towards the sky as he was nearing the exit. "I won't let anyone, not ever Kacchan, get me down on my dreams! I will be a hero that will protect everyone!" He then roared with laughter to the sky as he was filled with more determination to become a hero.
"Invisibility cloak… medium sized…"
"Huh?"
Izuku looked behind in time see a enormous blob forming and then leaping at him with impossible speed. "A-a villain?! Here?!" As the slime villain managed to grab him in its hold, it then tried to enter Izuku through the mouth while said tried to get it off of him, but to no avail. 'Is there where I'm going to die!? I can't die now, I wanted to become a hero!' He continued to struggle against the slime villain as it continued to forcefully enter Izuku's body.
"Hey brat! Just relax and let take over! It'll be over in a few seconds! Just relax…"
Izuku was starting to get tired as he was slowly stopping his struggle until he had no energy left. In his current state of minds, he was panicking internally, thinking that he'll die, he'll die alone and no one will ever remember, he'll die,die,die,die,die,die,die,die-!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Suddenly, three shots rang out into the tunnel and hitted the slime villain, causing it to loosen its grasp on the boy a bit as it looks around frantically to see who it was that just shot at it. "Huh?! Who's there?!" Instead of an answer, another shot came out from the darkness and hit the slime right in the eye. "Arrrrgggghhhh!" The slime villain yelled out in pain, causing it to release its hold on Izuku and allowing him to escape.
"Hey kid! If I were you, I'd run now! I don't know how long I can keep him busy!"
He wanted to run when the voice told him to, but he couldn't bring himself to run for two reasons. One reason was that a question was running through his mind a breakneck speed thinking 'what if the person who saved me is already having trouble with the villain and no one is there to help him.' The other reason was his fanboy instincts taking over, wanting to see who was fighting the slime villain, so he went against what that voice was telling him to do and stood there. Deciding that was the best course of action, he slowly walked backwards as to not get too close to the fight that was slowly moving towards him. When the fight gotten close enough, he could see the slime villain that tried to enter him, he could also see someone else fighting them, but it wasn't a hero at all!
It was a man that was in his mid-40s, smooth red hair, a stubbly beard on his chin, a red tuxedo that was outfitted with various of high-tech equipment, two sheaths with a combat knife on one side and a handgun on the other, a belt holding a set of knives on his chest and a earpiece on his left ear. "Come back here you bastard!" He kept chasing the slime villain as it tries to shake of its pursuer by swinging its tendrils at him. The man showed incredible agility as he dodged nearly every single tendril that was swung at him. Only one got to him and managed to grab hold of him, but he managed to dislodge himself away from it by swinging his knife at it and continued his pursuit.
"Tch! How are you this strong!? Just stay down forever!" The slime villain then swung more of its tendrils at him, but like last time, he dodged them with the same speed as he did before.
However, as he was dodging more of its tendrils, he saw the boy that he saved from was standing behind the villain and was looking at him battling the villain. "What the-?! I told you to-!" Before he get to say what he was saying, he was struck by the tendrils while he was distracted and hit the side of the tunnel as he was sent flying.
"Oh no! Sir!"
"And stay down! As for you…" Izuku knew that it was going to finish what it had started before and slowly backed away in fear. "Don't worry boy! This will be quick if you don't start squirming!" Before he knew it, he lunged at the helpless boy and he screamed in fear as he knew that there was no escape from this. Yet, even as everything was going to hell, the person that was knocked back into the wall, stood back up once again. He couldn't see what was happening, but when his vision was cleared, he saw the kid was about to be attacked by the slime villain and quickly ran towards the boy. As he was getting near the boy, he took something round from his pockets and threw it in between them.
"Kid! Cover your eyes!" Izuku did so without hesitation and something flashed between them. The slime villain wasn't so lucky as it was temporary blind by the round object. The slime villain yelled out in irritation and the man took this chance to grab the kid and quickly flee the scene with the boy in tow.
The two of them managed to get away from the villain and headed off into a secluded part of the city. The boy was throwing up on the ground behind a dumpster while the man was looking at the end of the alley. " Huff… Huff… Huff… T-t-thank you. I thought I was…"
"Hey, no sweat there. You would've done the same for me, had I been in that situation." The man waved off his thanks while he was still looking at the end of the alleyway.
"Still though, no one was there to help me when I was caught by that villain. That's not something… Wait, are you… a hero?"
The man paused his lookout as he adapted a thinking pose before answering him "Well, somewhat. I'm a vigilante of sorts, ya know?" The man looked at the boy as he said that and noticed that he had this starry eyed look on him as he told him this. "Uhhh, hello? Anyone there?"
"SO COOOOOL!"
"Ah! What the hell?!"
Needless to say, he did not expect the boy to shout that loudly at him and it made him cover his ears on instinct. After a seconds, he picked his ears for any gunk and addressed the boy. "Okay, that was loud."
"O-oh! I'm sorry about that! I was just excited to see a hero is all!"
"Uh, what? A hero? Kid, I'm not a hero. I'm just me."
"But, you did save me from that villain, did you? I mean, if you're a hero, then you must have a Quirk!"
"Nope, don't have one."
"W-what?"
"Yeah, I don't have a Quirk. What you saw there was me fighting hand-to-hand with that villain. Well, you don't count them being all… gooey and such."
That shocked Izuku to the core as he just froze there in place. Him? Without a Quirk? That was impossible! No one could do all of that without a Quirk! Most people that didn't have a Quirk were called weak and powerless and were often the ones need of protecting. That's where the pro heroes came in. They would come to help in the time of need for the Quirkless and save them from the villains.
He should know, he was one.
"W-Wait a minute! You're Quirkless!? B-but how did you do all of that without a Quirk?!" He wanted to know so badly as to how he did all of this. He wanted to know what methods he used to get this far without a Quirk and if possible…
"T-then can I ask you something sir?" he asked the man weakly.
"Oh, please don't call me 'sir'. Makes me feel old. Just call me Rex." Rex flashed a smile at him.
"Oh… okay then. Rex-san,. I want to know something. I-is it possible for someone like me…"
As he was about to ask him, he looked down like he was about to cry as he remembered…
You should give up on becoming a hero.
I'm sorry Izuku… I'm sorry…
Fucking Deku! You're useless!
...the memories of his childhood.
"Can… can someone like me… become a hero? I… I don't have a Quirk like you and everyone at my school says that I should give up on my dreams of becoming a hero. You see, I'm just a normal kid that wasn't born with a Quirk and people would tell me that I'm useless. Yet… you came to my rescue and you rescued me from that villain without a Quirk. It's been my dream to become a hero that saves the people with a smile like my idol, All Might. So, I just want to know…
"Is it possible for me to become a hero without a Quirk?"
Izuku had said his piece and went back to staring at the ground in front of him. As Rex heard Izuku's question, he was having thoughts about what he had saw during their initial encounter. It was true that when he first saw him being attacked by that slime villain, he didn't do anything to save himself from that villain and he immediately knew that he was Quirkless. He didn't need to question his sad tone when he asked him that question as he knew what he had been through. There were times too where Rex had seen people being ganged up on and beaten to the ground when others know they were Quirkless. He had seen this many times in his life and it was the reality of this world that they lived in.
No one on this earth was born equal and yet, they strived to make it perfect it in anyway possible.
He smoothed his hair with his hand as he contemplated the question before answering the boy with the harsh truth. "Look, I don't know what you went through during your childhood, but I think I get the gist of it. From my perspective, the way you handled yourself out there with that encounter…
"You can't become a hero."
As he heard those words coming out of Rex, Izuku was not surprised to hear that from him, but it didn't help that he was about to cry-.
"BUT!"
-yet the shock from that was enough to snap Izuku out from almost crying.
"That doesn't mean you can't try." Izuku stared at Rex with a wide-eye look on his face before Rex continued. "I guess that you're kinda confused for a minute there. Right, let me see if I can explain this… Ah! Okay, let's try this. As you know, most of the world's population has a Quirk, meaning that they have the right to become a hero. But what about those without a Quirk? What happens to them? Do they have the right to become a hero? The answer to that is no, but that doesn't stop there, oh no!" He pointed towards one of the ends of the alleyway before continuing, "You know that there are heroes that are assigned to protect the civilians from any harm and the villains to do… whatever it is that they do on a daily basis, but that doesn't stop there. From my perspective, villains are just people, trying to live their lives however they can and that also goes to the heroes as well."
"Oh yeah, because of how heroes would get government pay, right?"
"Heh, yeah, that. Anyways, like I was saying, heroes would get pay by the government and the villains would get paid just by robbing some place. There's also another group that helps people, but are outside of the law called vigilantes. You know, people with Quirks that help people like the heroes, but are not legalized, yeah?" Izuku nodded at that before continuing. "Right, as you know, I'm also one of those vigilantes, but without the Quirk. Sort of actually, as I'm trying to help out people while trying to live my life in peace. You get what I mean?"
"Y-yeah, I think so… but you haven't actually answered my question." Rex looked at him funny and Izuku made various gestures while flustered, "N-n-n-n-n-not th-th-th-that you've a-a-actually did! I-I-I-I appreciate you explaining it, b-b-b-but-!"
"Will you calm down for one second?!" He hit Izuku's head before he could embarrass himself further.
"A-ah, I'm s-s-sorry about that! I, uh…"
"Nah, it's fine. I'm more worried whether I have to send you to the hospital or something." Izuku sheepishly rubbed his head at that. "Although, you are right. I haven't actually given you my answer yet." He cleared his throat before answering.
"If I can become a hero, why can't you be one as well?"
"...Huh?"
"Well, I mean, yeah! You are weak at the moment, but that can change! All you have to do is work hard and train yourself until you are capable of saving someone! Right now, you're weak, but with a little training, you could do anything!" Izuku looked a bit perplexed as he heard what Rex had said to him. As they were talking, a series of sirens can be heard coming across their direction and as soon as it crossed them, it faded away into another direction. "Huh, I wonder what's happening now?"
"I don't know… Oh! Maybe there's a villain attack that's happening right now!" Izuku quickly ran out of the alleyway, leaving behind a shocked Rex. Once Rex managed to snap out of his shocked state, he quickly ran after Izuku.
"Ah! Hey, wait a minute! You can't just go back into another attack right after you just got out of one! Are you even listening to me?! Get back here!"
It took about twenty minutes for Izuku to get to where the attack was occurring by following the amount of police officers were going and about ten minutes for Rex to finally catch up to Izuku. "God… Huff… damn kid… Huff… you're faster than you look… Huff…"
"Ah! I'm sorry Rex-san! I just want to see-!"
"Save it. What's important is that you didn't ran into another villain like last time." Izuku didn't say anything as he just blushed in embarrassment. Both of them fell silent as they watched the incident happen. From their point of view, it looked like there were multiple heroes on the scene trying to put out the fire that was rampaging through the stores of a local market. Several civilians could be seen trying to get out of the rubble and a hero was using their Quirk to help get them out. Rex looked at the heroes doing their job with mild interest, seeing as he already knew some of them. He looked to his right and saw the boy looking at the heroes with the same starry-eyes look he'd gave him, only, this one was more intensified. He could see the boy pull out a notebook out of nowhere and started to scribble so fast in his notebook, he could barely make out the words that were barely eligible. 'Sheesh, for a kid like him, Quirkless, he sure can write…' He could feel a sweatdrop as he saw him continuously scribble in his notebook.
'Although, I do wonder what happened here.' He thought to himself.
"Say, what did happen here? All I heard was the word 'chase'."
"You didn't hear? The villain over there managed to get away from All Might and started to cause some damage to the area."
"Seriously?! All Might was here?! Then why isn't he here yet?!"
"I don't know! Your guess is as good as mine man!"
It didn't take a second for Rex and Izuku to know what they were talking about. It was the slime villain that they'd faced earlier today!
For the most part, Rex was berating himself for not taking him down while he had the chance to do so, but he was caught with the boy and everything. He didn't blame the kid for distracting him from the villain, moreso to himself for getting distracted like that. Izuku, on the other hand…
'Hey… wasn't that the villain that Rex-san was fighting…? Oh man! Does that mean… it was my fault to begin?! I'm sorry! I'm so, so, sorry…!' He was covering his mouth as he had also experience the slime villain trying to take over his body once and shivered in fear. Rex noticed this and wanted to say something to him, but couldn't find the right words to say. Just as he had turned back to the incident, his eyes caught something moving within the slime villain.
"Wait a minute… What the hell?!" Shocked by Rex's sudden loud voice, Izuku looked at Rex for a second before turning to where Rex was looking at. Then he saw something terrible. Something that shook him to the very core of his heart.
His best friend being held hostage by the slime villain.
Without any warning, Izuku ran through the ground, past the heroes and towards the heroes. Needless to say, it shocked everyone around him. "Hey, wait! What do you think you're doing kid?! You're going to get yourself killed!" one of the heroes shouted to Izuku as he snapped out of it.
'What am I doing!? Why am I running towards the villain?!' Izuku frantically thought to himself as he was getting closer to the villain.
"What the-?! This fucking brat~!"
"...Deku?"
While the villain was momentarily distracted, he regained his focus and readied his tendrils to strike at Izuku. "Come here brat! I'm not done with you yet!" Suddenly, Izuku threw his backpack at the only eye that was hit by Rex's gun and it blinded him, giving Bakugou a chance to breathe and Izuku to finally get to him and started to claw his way through.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough! Deku, what the fuck are you doing?!"
"I don't know why! My legs were moving on their own!" After their short exchange, the slime villain covered his mouth once again.
Yet, despite this, Izuku gave him a brave smile.
"It just look liked you need help!"
The slime villain's tendrils were already close to Izuku and were about to hit him-!
"KID! GET DOWN NOW!"
-when a loud voice came out and yelled at Izuku to get down. Knowing this voice, he promptly did so and saw another round object came flying in between them, only this time, it was green. Seeing the object coming for him, the villain used its tendrils to hit the object, causing it to explode in front of him. As he did that, a shadowy figure ran through the smoke, jumped towards the slime villain with its weapons drawn on it and let hell loose. It opened fire at the slime, causing several bullets to hit the body and while only a few bullets came close to hitting Bakugou, it kept firing at it. One bullet managed to hit its mark and hit the other eye, causing it to go blind.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Not letting the slime get its chance to recover, it grabbed Bakugou from the villains hold, threw him several feet away from the villain and went over to Izuku while facing the villain.
"Damn kid, getting into trouble again…!" Izuku gathered enough courage within him to see who was it that saved him and saw Rex again, facing his the villain while his back was towards him. "If you keep this up, I'll have to charge you for the protection service, but right now-!
"I'M GOING TO KICK HIS ASS INTO OBLIVION!"
With a war cry, he headed straight for the villain like a meteor and the fire on him got stronger. The villain didn't know what was going on as he was blindly swinging his tendrils everywhere and before he knew what was happening, it was too late.
"Meteor Impact!"
The slime villain's parts burst everywhere and a fire pillar erupted from the ground, along with a massive wind pressure from the attack and effectively killing the fire. Once everything was quiet, the people that had just witnessed it, burst into cheering for the one that saved them. Rex stood up from his position, grabbed a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit up the cigarette and smoked from the stick. He smirked from the attack as he looked at his surroundings.
"And that's how a Quirkless guy like me gets the job done."

I have some explaining to do, huh? Ahem! As you may or may not know, my previous story 'I'm not a Hero!' went on an unexpected hiatus for an unknown reason. What's that reason you may ask? Simple!
Internet was down for Two. Whole. Weeks. It was driving me insane in the house as I had no idea on what to do. I did have some backup games in case something like that happened, but even that has it limits. However, as you can see, the internet is back on for me and I can finally make some progress on my story! Yay! Problem is, I've hit a block that was really annoying. God damn it! During my time off the internet, I read a few manga's I've gotten in the past and read 'My Hero Academia' and was inspired by the series to make this story! So far, this is the one that helped me out with that block of mine and I should have some of chapters from the other story written up.
The only condition that I have is that I've lost some of my work due to me getting a blue screen of death and not saving my work often.
...This fucking sucks.
As of now, I'm working hard on my previous story to update it, so that I can give it to you good readers out there! I will get the next chapter out, just not right now, but I will!
In any case, I hope you enjoy this one and I'll be working harder than before! As always, thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Again, I'd like to thank InsertImaginativeNameHere for the beta work! Without them, this story couldn't be more awesome!
See you guys later!
