Did you know why people liked violence? It was because it gave them pleasure. But remove the pleasure and you would find the act to be hollow.

Also, Quirks change a person and their standing in society.

For example, the snotty and bratty Katsuki turned even more bratty the moment he had sparklers dancing on his hands. He bragged more and more as people showered him with praise. Not that I'm jealous or anything but having a decent Quirk didn't mean that his number 1 place would be secured.

"Hey Deku! Get lost!", a kid with wings said as he shoved Izuku to the ground. The kid walked away.

And there was the poor guy, Izuku. He was Quirkless and his social status reached rock-bottom. Everyone treated him like trash to the point that I started to feel sorry for the poor kid. Sheesh. Kids with powers sure were scary. It was like giving them knives to play around and threaten those who had duller or no knives at all.

I walked towards the fallen Izuku and reached out my hand.

"Don't mind that jerk. He's just insecure", I said.

Izuku took my hand and he took it.

"Thank you"

"Don't mind it"

We sat down at a corner. I didn't know what to say. There wasn't a guide on how to help Quirkless people. How was he even stable the moment he found out that he was Quirkless? Being a hero required a Quirk and he was the one I knew who wanted to be a hero the most.

"Hey Deku! I need you for something!", Katsuki shouted and went towards us.

I could immediately tell this was bad news and lucky for us, Ms. Mika wasn't around. Great.

"What is it, Kacchan?", he asked.

"I'll put your Quirkless ass to use. By being my punching bag!", Katsuki shouted and was about to throw a punch.

And before I knew it, I caught his fist.

"This has nothing to do with you, extra!", he shouted.

"You've been bullying Izuku for a while now. What's wrong? Scared of him?", I asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Usually, bullies attack those they are afraid of. They attack those they think who will surpass them so they try everything to limit their target's growth. Either that or they're too shallow to gain happiness from just inflicting pain"

Everyone were silent.

"Oh right. You're still a kid. You couldn't understand a thing I'm saying. So should I simplify it for you? You are worse than the Quirkless kid", I said and smiled.

"What was that?!", he swung his fist.

I blocked his attack and then swept his feet making him fall to the floor. Good thing I knew martial arts back in my previous life.

"Oh my. Aren't you going to be the number 1 hero? Why are you falling to the ground from an attack of a small kid?"

Katsuki swung again but I ducked and landed a punch on his stomach. He stumbled back a bit and I did a right hook on his face. I then placed my feet on his chest and looked down on him.

"How does it feel to lose? You think you're the most powerful there is? Think again you snotty and shitty brat. You've been nothing but a thorn in everyone's neck. Heck, I'm not that chummy with Izuku here but even I got angry on how you treated him"

"SHUT UP MANGA BOY!", he shouted and an explosion hit me.

I kept my guard up but another explosion hit my guarding arms. It stung and with this fragile body, I couldn't handle the pain and fell to the ground. Katsuki got on top of me and started punching my face. That was when I snapped. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I tried being an adult to the best that I could but if this kid wants a fight, then I'll give him a beating.

I grabbed his shorts and my hand glowed. It took Katsuki a few moments to realize that people were laughing.

"What's funny?!", he angrily asked.

"Katsuki is wearing All Might undies!", a boy said.

"Uwaaaah. He's still wearing those? Isn't it for kids?", a girl asked.

Hey hey… Weren't you kids?

The class murmured among themselves and I took my chance. I pushed Katsuki off me and I punched him. After that, I grabbed his undies (he was still a kid and I was technically a kid so it was fair game) and erased it.

"Kyaaah!", the girls shouted and covered their eyes.

"Hahahahaha!", the boys erupted into laughter.

Katsuki became as red as a tomato from either embarrassment or anger. Probably both.

"You cheater! You used your Quirk!", he shouted as tears formed in his eyes.

"Hey. You're the first one to use yours. And besides, this is war. I'll show you true hell", I glared at him.

I punched him again and grabbed his shirt. With my glowing hand, I made it disappear, making Katsuki fully naked. But that wasn't enough. I crushed his spirit. It was time to crush his body.

Kicking his knee, punching his chest, kneeing his stomach, and elbowing his face, I did all of those several times. And then he was down on the ground.

"Hey. Somebody get me a permanent marker", I said in a shrilling tone.

A kid ran and gave it to me as if he was afraid of me. I then wrote the word "LOSER" on Katsuki's forehead.

"WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!", Ms Mika's voice shouted.

It was then I noticed what happened. A sadistic smile on my face, a naked Katsuki, broken chairs from explosions, and my bloody nose… yep… Something definitely happened here.

###

"Your son is not allowed to be in Hanamaru Nursery", the headmaster said.

Mama and Papa's faces were grim. Despite the fact that Katsuki started the fight and even used his Quirk, I went too far. I didn't know what came over me. Why did I go all out on a small kid? I was supposed to be the adult there. Words could've been used. Instead, I beat up a kid and humiliated him.

"I understand", Papa told her and we left.

Katsuki and his parents went before us and I didn't know what his punishment was but I was sure it wouldn't be as bad as mine. I didn't even know that nurseries expel students.

"Why did you do that?", Papa asked as we walked home.

I was about to answer but…

"And don't tell me it was self-defense", Papa warned me.

Without looking at him, I know he was angry. After all, even Mama wouldn't dare to talk.

"I don't know. I knew that Katsuki was going to do bad things. I wanted to stop him. But he didn't want to stop. So I decided to erase his bad attitude. I wanted to strip him of his pride to make sure he doesn't bully anyone again", I answered honestly.

Papa was silent for a while.

"Miyata… I'm not going to tell you you're wrong. But you should've not done it that way…", he said.

We walked silently again.

"Do you know what a true hero is?", Papa asked.

"Someone who saves people?"

"You're almost there"

I thought for a while. Seeing me think hardly, I felt the tension in the air clear up.

"Did you know your mother was a manga artist?", Papa asked.

What? Then that means…

"It's true. Your father was a rookie editor at that time and I was a manga artist. We worked on our first one-shot really hard. Do you know what the manga's name was?", Mama asked.

I shook my head.

"The title was Ubermensch. It was about a strong hero", Papa said.

"Not just any hero but he was a true hero", Mama added.

True hero?

"We worked really hard on it. It was about a hero who saves everyone", Papa told me.

"Then what makes him different?", I asked.

Mama smiled.

"By everyone, we meant that he saved even the villains he defeated", Mama answered.

"Helping them out in rehabilitation, providing them company by talking to them in prison and even bringing food for them, and he would help the villains no matter how many times they betrayed his trust. Ubermensch was a true hero. Saving everyone. Pulling people out of the darkness known as evil. That is a true hero", Papa explained.

"So… what did you do wrong? What's the difference between you and Ubermensch?", Mama asked.

"I didn't save everyone. I only saved Izuku and probably some of my classmates. But I didn't save Katsuki. I should've extended a helping hand and fix his personality. But I crushed his body and spirit. Unlike Ubermensch, I wasn't a true hero", I reflected.

Papa smiled and patted my head.

"By the way, the one-shot wasn't accepted", he said.

"What?", I asked.

"The company thought that Ubermensch was a boring character and too much of a Mary Sue so they shot the project down. After all, a perfect hero like that doesn't exist according to them", Mama answered.

"But that was when your mother and I met. After that, we worked on a lot of projects and then we eventually fell in love", Papa said.

I stopped in my tracks.

"Papa… Mama…", I said.

They looked at me.

"I'm going to be Ubermensch! I'll be a hero who'll save everyone!", I shouted and ran off

"Hey!", Papa shouted but I saw Mama held his arm back.

Thanks Mama.

I ran and ran and finally got into the Bakugo household after asking around.

"What do we have here?", an adult and female version of Katsuki was behind me.

Katsuki's father was also there and of course, there was Katsuki who was wearing a white shirt and black shorts.

"If you still want trouble with my son, I won't hold back", the woman said.

The man was just silent. It seemed that he was angry too. Of course. Who wouldn't be angry when their child was just beaten up?

I did a 90 degree bow and shouted, "I'M SO SORRY!"

"You know kid… Sorry doesn't cut it. Do you have an idea on what you did to my son?", his mother asked.

"I know. I humiliated him. I utterly destroyed him. I crushed his spirit", I said.

I then saw Katsuki's lifeless eyes and saw the damage I have done. The once confident and sort of bratty Katsuki turned into this… That's normal. I just ruined his life.

"And I know that the future number 1 hero wouldn't let that pass", I said and looked Katsuki straight at his eyes.

"What's wrong Katsuki? Those eyes don't suit you at all! Are you telling me that you'll give up after losing to me? Just so you know, I'm aiming to be a true hero. If you stay like that, you'll become a pebble in my path", I told him and started to walk away.

"Hey brat! We're not do-", Katsuki's mother was cut off when explosions sparked in Katsuki's hands.

"HEY MANGA BOY! Who said that you can act all high and mighty after you beat me once?! Let me get this straight! I'll be the number 1 hero! Got that?! No matter how hard you crush me, I'll crush you even harder! I won't lose!", Katsuki shouted as tears ran down his eyes and explosions sparked on his palms.

"I'll be going away since I'm no longer allowed to be in Hanamaru Nursery. But! I'll be training hard to maintain my record!", I declared.

"Oh yeah?! I'll be training like crazy so you'll be utterly crushed to death!", Katsuki rebutted.

The fire in Katsuki's eyes returned.

"Just you wait Miyata Takeru! I'll be number 1!"

"Let the Hero Rankings in the future speak for itself, Katsuki Bakugo!"

I'll be the Ubermensch my parents wanted. And I just saved my first enemy… Although he might still be my enemy… Maybe rival is a better word.

I hope you enjoyed and review if you can!:)
