Izuku was not expecting anyone to socialize with him because of his quirkless nature but he was proven wrong by Kirishima's offer and now the lad was walking with three other boys to the cafeteria. "Hey Hanma, how come you do not hang out with anyone else"? The blonde known as Denki asked. "I usually like to keep to myself and besides a lot of the school knows my nature so they hang out with defect person like me and most of the school are girls so it makes things more troublesome if I was around others." Izuku explained his situation to the blonde. "But you should not seclude yourself in solitude because us guys got to stay together in this world of female dominance." Kirishima spoke up. "You should not say it like that" the six arm boy responded. "Then how do you call it the 'the weak masculine age' or no 'hope for man'" Denki retorted. "You saying that like you already give up on the male gender" the one that spoke up surprise all the three boys it was Izuku that spoke up this time and he had a stern look on his face. "No I just *sigh* I guess I am aren't I. I mean how can't I It's not like we are treated equal since their are more occupation that ask for females and males and not only that their are more drop out rates for guys than girls". said with defeat. Changing the topic to mellow out the mood Shoji ask the boys "speaking about occupations what do you guys want to be when we're grown ups"? the mutant lad asked the his peers. "I want to be a mechanic" said the black haired boy as all of them got their food. "I am planning on being an electrician myself" the blonde boy added as all of them found a table that was open. "I want to be a nurse like my mom" the tall six-armed boy chimed as well as all of them sat down on said table. Izuku opened his mouth to say one side goal of his. "I want to be a hero." Izuku said simply.
Silence.
No one uttered a word.
In this cafeteria .
At the moment as the boy said what he wanted to say.
Izuku had no clue what just happened, one moment it was all loud and cheery now it was silent and intense. The boys can feel all the stares at them and sweated a ton all on their faces except the green haired lad. "What's with the stares ladies?" Izuku asked as he looked around the cafeteria with stares of disbelief, disgust, disdain, and deplorably. One voice spoke up that was familiar yet unpleasant to the boy. "So the quirkless peasant wants to be a hero now"? Uraraka was the one who spoke up causing her group of friends to look at the boys sending glares at the only boy who was talking. "Yes, what of it Uraraka-san"? the boy asked another question towards the gravity princess. "You realize you need a quirk in order to do that profession right"? She ask with a smug on her face. "I don't need power to save someone from harms way." Hanma answered simply.
The group of boys look at Izuku with respect and fear that may happen to him. Before anything else happed said boy jumped out of his seat away from the chair that was now crushed to the ground. Uraraka used her gravity manipulation quirk to attempt at harming the boy. At this point all three boys that were sitting were starting to be affected by the gravity change and it was just difficult to get off their chairs. Izuku saw this and darted a look at the brown haired girl with her hand in front of her. "Undo your gravity now Uraraka-san!" The green boy shouted at the bob hair style lass. "Or what ?" She implored back. "Otherwise I will have to fight you." He said calmly fully aware of his position and no amount of negotiating can solve this problem because the girl would be make impossible to handle with 7 years taught him that.
Izuku just had a focused expression on his face as he walked up to the girl that were harming the other lads during their meal time. Izuku was staring eye to eye with the lass in front of him. Izuku only had a certain amount of time before she would use her powers on him so he made the first hit to the face. To say the least the punch did not connected because Uraraka manipulates the gravity around the boy to make the hits he gave became soft air hitting the target not the fist itself but the fact that he managed to get to her face was really the thing that surprise all the girls with the act of defiance the boy displayed in front of them in the room.
Izuku goes for right high kick to her shoulder but it suddenly became a feint for a 360 elbow slam to her collar bone which it did connect. Now flinch and livid, Uraraka made her attempt to use her quirk on the boys clothing making them several times heavier by attempting to grab him. The young martial artist saw this and use the bottom of his wrist to deflect her hand downward while raising said wrist to hit her chin with the top of his wrist all awhile calling out "shougon!" This was one of his techniques that help block close quarters attacks within hands reach or parry grabs. He managed to create said technique during one of his shadow boxing sessions. The bob haired girl fell back on the ground holding on to her chin with her unharmed hand.
At the moment the girl fell back, the gravity that was upon the boys was now gone and all of them stood up and look at the seen: Izuku had won this little disagreement.
Izuku stood up straight and looked at the fallen girl before him and simply said "Do you want to continue"? He honestly did not want to but knowing the pride that girls had these days a second chance to redeem herself would not hurt at all but her and only her. The gravity lass and looked up at the boy in disbelief this is not the same boy she would bully all those years ago no this was someone different somewhere from her and then he had change.
Mina POV~
"Is that really Izuku?!" She thought to her self witnessing the whole exchange from the far side of the cafeteria. She was worried that the boy would have any injuries attained from one of their childhood bullies. Before anything else happen one of the adults came in shouting "What happen!" It was one of the teachers for the upper class man. The man looked at Izuku who had his back towards him only paying attention to the girl in front of him. At this point the pink girl made her way towards the green haired boy. By the time she reach to the group of boys she noticed that Izuku had not removed his sights from Uraraka. Then said boy ask something to her "Do you still want to continue or not Uraraka-san?" The fallen girl looked at the boy in disbelief from what the boy was asking and was speechless thanks to the young martial artist display of moves against her. Mina couldn't help but feel worried and happy for Izuku because he stood up to their bully to protect the other boys that were involved because of the new associate they invited to their table. But Mina felt worried how he was acting she never saw him fight before and jump to the conclusion that he would want to pay the gravity girl back for all of those years publicly humiliating him and the pink girl, physically assaulting him with her quirk, and overall make him a target for others. The pink girl ran in front of the boy with her arms stretched out facing her back to the girl on the ground and looking at the boy she grew so feelings for in his serious green eyes. "Izuku stop! Please that's enough!" Mina pleaded as she was now shaking a bit since Izuku had not changed his expression at all.
Izuku~POV
Izuku broke her collar bone in one hit and sprained her wrist with his the fact that she was on the ground and he was standing felt good to the boy. Young Hanma like this feeling of self accomplishment for winning but needed to remember his purpose his new friends were in trouble and he had to step up. His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice calling to him "Izuku stop! Please that's enough." The boy looked at the source which led him to see a pink concern/scared girl in front of him. "What's with the look Mina?" He asked. He saw the pink haired lass pause for a moment to find her words or reason.
"I am worried about you y'know, and do not continue any further otherwise you will regret it." Mina, now shaken with what she said as the girl looked at the slightly risen eyes of the boy. In a split second the boy couple meters away from Mina had picked up said girl in bridal style and jump away from the spot they were originally at followed by a loud crushing sound on the floor. Mina shrieked in surprise as the boy held a calm demeanor not keeping his eyes off the gravity girl while holding on to his best friend.
When landing on the ground, Izuku set Mina down but she did not let go of him as she looked at him but he knew Mina was looking at him but Izuku only had his attention of the attacker which was Uraraka. Mina diverted her attention towards the gravity girl to see a crushed and cracked floor where she was once standing,as if a heavy object had land on the same spot repeatedly without rest.
Uraraka held a angry expression on her face because of how the boy managed to react fast enough to get him and the pink girl out of the way. Izuku now had a wrath build up in him. It was one thing that he would get hurt he can accept that but with his best friend Mina almost harmed Izuku just couldn't let it slide any more.
Mina could feel Izuku tensed up with all the muscles contracting with out doing anything from the outside perspective from forearm to his shoulders in his right arm that she was holding on too. This scared her even more she did not know what to expect when she looked back to him.
His eyes says it, all full of wrath that Mina saw as she looks at him wide-eyed as did Uraraka. Once angry, now downright scared off her victim just by looking at his full green forest eyes that were once filled with light. Izuku use such swift to release himself from Mina's grasp without hurting her and sprinted towards the gravity lass as he got closer the girl can barely get off the ground and to Izuku's advantage he jump and did a front flip and aerial drop kick towards her abdomen. The attack landed causing the wounded girl to cough up blood and scream in pain as she tries to fix her self but only made things worse when she try to lighten her own weight causing the blood to vomit out even more. Izuku landed on the floor this time with a unsatisfied feeling of anger and got up slowly and walked towards the girl that was on the floor crying for it to end. "Please have mercy on me." She pleaded barely audible with all the blood coming out of her mouth.
"Mercy?"
"Mercy?!"
"YOU WANT FUCKING MERCY?!!!"
"WERE WAS MINA'S MERCY FOR ALL THESE SEVEN YEARS?!!"
"YOU HURT HER DURING OUR CHILDHOOD MULTIPLE TIMES JUST LIKE WHAT YOUR DOING RIGHT NOW?!"
"YOU WONT GET YOUR MERCY, NO YOU WILL ONLY GET SUFFERING"
All of these thoughts ran through Izuku's head but he just remembered that he was only being selfish about this it was his fault for letting his best friend keep getting hurt because of his weakness throughout their childhood years.
The boy finally calmed himself back to reality and simply said this to the fallen girl. "Apologizes then you have my mercy." The boy demanded the injured girl. "I am sorry Izuku Han~" "Don't apologize to me, apologize to Mina." He said coldly
