All men are not created equal, that's the truth I Katsuki Bakugo realized at he age of four. In this world 80% of population possess some kind of quirk. Well the remaining 20% are what you call quirkless. Fortunately I'm not one of them. I always wanted to become a Hero, not just any Hero , I wanted to be the No. 1 like Almight. He is soo cool. He always beats up the bad guys.
"your son has an amazing quirk."
Those were the words my doctor said when I went for quirk counselling with my mother at the age of 4.
This is the exact moment my life took a drastic turn. My dad left me, to be more specific he felt for overseas. I still remember the day he went; I cried my eyes out. I was soo afraid, I don't of what though, maybe of the world or something.
That's when I started watching clip of Almight in YouTube. He was soo cool, he always wins, he always beats up bad guys. I had a friend who was equally amused by Almight as much I do. We became really close, we both are like fanboys. We had lot of things in common. But one day an uncommon thing between us appeared. He is quirkless. Sucks to be him , he can't become a hero.
Well whatever, I can be a hero and he can be a side kick or something.
"wow Katsuki you have an excellent quirk, you can easily become a hero, you know? Unlike us"
What really?
I can become one easily?
I'm blessed?
I'm lucky?
Yeah right, it must be true if everyone says it right?
What? I can be a hero easily; all I have to do is win?
But what about him? He doesn't even have a quirk? What can he become?
Come on Katsuki, hang out with us, he's quirkless
Oh Bakugo we are hitting the karaoke, you coming with us?
Who is this Bakugo, your friend? yes
Who is this Bakugo, you know him? yes
Who is this Bakugo, I think he needs to speak with you? what
Who is this guy, following you around? Seems like it
Who is this shit? he's is a stalker
Who are you anyways? why are you talking to me?
"OI Deku your worst than these rejects"
Those were the words, after which I couldn't stop. It became more of a second nature to me. I mean its not my fault that he is quirkless. I'm just putting him in his place, Just like everybody does.
am I may wrong? I may have gone overboard a few times, but I didn't do it alone, everyone agreed with me. So what's the wrong in it.
"If you want a quirk soo badly, why don't you jump off the building and you would be born with a quirk in your next life"
Those words they broke me. I didn't mean it, it just slipped out. I don't know, I may have said that intentionally to some degree. Even though I have tormented him for all these years, he never had a look like that.
It was sad smile, with dead eyes. It almost seemed lifeless. Like he couldn't feel anything anymore, like he didn't care about anything. It terrified me. What if he truly jumped off the building like I said.
There is no way he would do that right?
Right?
I should have reached out to him and said sorry or atleast I didn't mean that or something. But I didn't do any of that, I just stood there, as he walked off.
My pride is what stopping me.
Where did it come from?
Am I really this prideful?
But we were friends once right?
He would listen to me right?
I don't know anymore,
I walked towards a hangout place where I used to hang out with my pals.
Are they really my friends?
I don't know
I started walking off after I bid my Farwell to these guys. Suddenly was attacked by a slime. Its a villain, I struggled, but I couldn't move.
It started to enter my body through my mouth, I used my quirk to create a huge explosion. It spread across the street. At least it would be enough for hero to save me.
Wait save me?
Do I need saving?
I'm a hero I should always win right?
I struggled, the more I did that, the monster entered my body. It hurts but I must endure it. Cuz I must win.
But it hurts
It hurts It hurts It It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts It hurts
please someone save me
I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die
I managed to get my eyes out to see the surrounding.
Please someone save me
I don't think I can take it anymore
Please
All the heroes are standing there, not one person moved their body, people were crowding up, like its some kind of street show.
Something is not right.
I'm danger, why are they not helping me?
They are Heroes, right?
They should save people, right?
Saving is what heroes do right?
They are all not heroes, I cried for help, I was furious.
Am I the wrong the whole time? Is saving people is heroism and not winning?
I always thought heroes are someone who always wins against bad guys. But defeating bad guys is to save someone. I never really understood the point of winning have i?
Winning a fight means nothing if I save what we wanted
I'm a terrible excuse for a human being. I let the praise get to my head, because of it I lost my one true friend, yeah, he was right all along.
Saving people is what Almight do not Winning. You won the bet Izuku. Maybe I deserve to die. At least I'm prepared for it. Thank you Izuku and sorry Izuku
Suddenly a kid started running towards me, he wore my school uniform. My eyes are a blur I couldn't see his face clearly. He grabbed my hand and tried to pull out. At the instant I saw his face.
Why? Why? Even though I tormented you, I belittled you, I bullied you, you still came to save me. Why? Why? I don't under stand it anymore.
I see it now you're the true definition of a hero.
"Deku you idiot what are you doing here? You moron" you'll get yourself killed saving me
He threw me out, but he got caught by the sludge monster. He looked me in the eye and yelled
"GO ON LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH THE GUILT THAT SOMEONE YOU BELITTLED YOUR ENTIRE LIFE SAVED YOU. LIVE WITH THIS GUILT FOR THE REST OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE. I'LL LAUGH AT YOU ASSHOLE FROM THE OTHER SIDE. HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHA…" he was laughing hysterically like a maniac.
Oh god what have I done to him. He decided to throw away his life. Why? Why for someone like me?
Then Almight rushed in and saved the day.
I was praised by the heroes but he got chewed out. These bastards what are they blind or something? Didn't they see what he did?
I followed him and he noticed me.
"Izuku wait" I haven't used the word in a long time
"can we have this tomorrow, I'm too tired for this"
He's changed, usually he stutters a lot when speaking. But now he…..
"no please wait…" please listen to me.
"I'm sorry for everything I have done up to now. Please forgive me"
His face suddenly changed to furious and it calmed down
"yeah sure bye" he started to walk off. Well I didn't expect it to work.
But a single apology can't change everything that has happened so far. I don't know if we'll ever become friends again. But I do hope….
I'll get into UA and become a hero that saves everyone with a smile just like Almight.
But I do hope we can be friends again
