A/N- Hey like promised this story came out soon after the previous chapter, I was feeling inspirational and the managed to finish this one right after. I hope you guys like the chapter.
And as always, review if you want or if you just have something to say.
It was the start of the second round and the crowd was not excited for the first match between Shinso who didn't even fight in his first match and Izuku who's a basic brawler who hasn't even revealed his quirk yet.
Excitement was not in the air as Present Mic began to announce the next fight.
"Well party people it's the second round of the tournament, and I am hyped up for what's about to happen after that last fight. Now the first match of this round we have the Hitoshi Shinso who got here with some method that I'm unfamiliar with. And the mean green brawling machine Izuku Midoriya!"
"Really? 'Brawling machine' are you serious Mic?"
"Well if you don't like the name what would you call him huh?"
"I'd call him what he is a fighter. Who just happens to be mean and green."
"D-did you just make a joke Aizawa? What has happened to you did you get enough sleep?"
"Focus on the match Mic."
Izuku walked out of his tunnel expecting to see Shinso there at the other end of the stage but he wasn't there. He looked to Midnight who just shrugged her shoulders and Izuku just held up a hand to say wait and stood there with his arms crossed looking unamused.
Shinso came out of his tunnel shaking like he's in an earthquake. Izuku knew why he was shaking and it made him grin sinisterly. Eventually, Shinso walked onto the stage and faced down Izuku, as Midnight cracked her whip.
"Hey, Midoriya I got a question for you."
Putting up his reinforced mental guard and hoping it was enough to stop Shinso's brainwash he then responded to the purple-haired teen.
"Alright, I'll answer your question before I kick your teeth in."
"How are you able to not succumb to my brainwash, I don't get it." Izuku just chuckled at the question.
"Well I'm not going to be specific with you but I know a guy who has a mind manipulation quirk and I didn't take kindly to that. So I devised a strategy to become partially immune to mind-altering quirks."
"Immune that's impossible!"
"Impossible? Is that some sort of trick question, you literally saw it not work on me, now come over here so I can kick your ass like I said I was going to." He said with a sinister smile.
Shinso simply turned around ready to give up but Izuku said no, "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm leaving I stand no chance against someone with a quirk who fights up close and is immune to my quirk."
As Shinso walked Izuku just sighed and laughed before addressing Shinso.
"Some hero you are, giving up before the fight even begins. You'll go nowhere in life if you just give up like that."
Shinso scoffed and looked back to Izuku and responded with a comeback.
"Well I don't have a flashy quirk like you so I can't be a hero like the rest of you, and my quirk is villainous so my chances are next to nothing, you wouldn't understand that at all since you probably got encouragement your whole life to be a hero."
That comment ignited something in Izuku, he furiously stared down Shnso and uncrossed his arms, and balled up his fists before he aggressively approached Shinso who saw the change and tried to leave quicker. But Izuku caught him before he could step out and held him in place with his hand on his shoulder.
"You have no idea what you're talking about cunt. Do you think everyone in the hero course didn't work hard to get to the hero course? Do you know the pain of being called a villain your entire life while being mentally and physically abused by nearly every person you've talked with? Do you know what it's like to be powerless? Obviously not, so schools in session troll doll and I recommend you pay attention to this lecture I'm about to give you." Izuku sad with a furious glare on his face.
Shinso went wide-eyed realizing that he said something that filled Izuku with an unimaginable amount of rage and with no hesitation Izuku dragged him closer to himself, picked him up, then suplexed him in one swift motion. The slam had so much force the ground shook from the impact.
Izuku slowly got up and looked down with a cold face and Shinso looked up with a bloody nose. Then Izuku picked him up and stood him up then punched him hard in the face.
Shinso was now bleeding profusely from his face as he stumbled around and Izuku walked over to him and grabbed his shirt and threw Shinso over himself. And again there was a loud thud then Izuku picked him up again and brought him closer so only Shinso could hear him.
"Let me tell you something dipshit, I don't have a quirk, I've met villains and heroes who have quirks that are more dangerous than yours. So fuck off about having a villainous quirk because all of them are, so shut your ignorant ass up cupcake. Because now you're going to pay for your grandstanding and for belittling the hard work the others put in to get here." Izuku said looking somewhat like a madman.
Shinso was shocked to hear that Izuku say he was quirkless but there was also one other thing that he felt…Fear…It ran through his body like a runaway train and then Izuku put him in a headlock and threw him down onto the floor.
The audience was silent as they watched the slow brutal fight. Izuku mounted Shinso and then rained down blows on him. One punch then another and another, left then right over and over again.
At this point, people looked on to see Izuku brutally beating Shinso and blood was dripping from his fists as he punched. Shinso could no longer see due to all the blood in his eyes. The ground around Shinso's head was being stained red.
People in the audience were dead silent throughout this entire match with a few whispers since they were too shocked to do anything about the display of brutality. But then right as Midnight was about to call the match Izuku stopped and got up.
He dragged Shinso to the edge of the stage by his hair and tossed him off, then with blood still dripping from his hands he looked over to Midnight, who had a look of disbelief on.
"Sorry Midnight I lost my cool there." Izuku said with a grin.
Izuku then walked off the stage to head into the waiting room, Midnight then declared that Izuku won the match. But this match served as a brutal reminder to all who knew about Izuku's situation.
It reminded everyone who knew him that in the end, he is Deku the brutal villain who beats people into bloody messes because he feels like it or he feels he needs to.
Some heroes in the audience were having second thoughts about wanting to send Izuku an internship offer because he still hasn't shown them his quirk and he just brutally beat a student who thankfully is still conscious.
Back in the villain bar All for One smiled knowing Izuku was still the brutal person he always was. Appreciating that his training hadn't been for nothing. Tomura just scoffed at the TV since Izuku was just being brutal again, it's nothing he hasn't seen before.
In a gym that Izuku used to frequent Darby watched the festival and watched Izuku beat Shinso into a bloody mess. "Hehehe you're closer to killing people than you think you are Izuku, and I'll be the one to push you over the edge," Darby said with a dark smile.
With the crowd now in an awkward mood, Present Mic had to set the mood back to what it once was.
"Well that was surely an interesting fight but now we have another match between two boys of 1-A. We have the speedster with the legs of a champion, Tenya Ida! Facing off against him is the cold guy with a fiery passion to win with an equally cold and hot quirk it's Shoto Todoroki!"
Both Todoroki and Ida made their way onto the stage and both eerily looked to the bloodstain left by Izuku. They had obviously tried to clean it but not all of it came off and it was a grim reminder to Todoroki that he had to beat Izuku to prove himself better.
Midnight saw both Boys get ready to fight and then signaled the start of the match. Todoroki instantly laid out a sheet of ice to hinder Ida's linear movements, while Ida stayed still since he anticipated this from Todoroki.
While the match went on Izuku stood in the teacher viewing booth with a red-stained cleaning rag in his hands looking at Nezu who is with a few other teachers. Nezu took a sip of tea before addressing Izuku.
"Izuku do you know why you're in front of all of us?"
"I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's because of what I did to Shinso isn't it?"
"Yes it is Izuku, may I ask what caused you to lash out like that and hurt him badly and spill blood?"
"He said some things that I didn't quite agree with, mainly referring to himself as a villain, when he's right in front of one, he also said that the only reason I'm here is that I and the other hero students have flashy quirks."
"So that led you to brutally attack him, you know if you came to us we could have dealt with it."
"Heh you don't get me Nezu, I hate the idea of heroes so why would I rely on you guys for anything. I treat you like people because that's what you are, I tolerate you as heroes because that's also what your job is. And I'm not exactly the type to sit and wait for others to take care of an issue for me. I take action into my own hands because if I don't then the weak people get exploited and hurt."
"So you dealt with it how exactly?" Nezu asked curious to see what Izuku would say about what they talked about.
"I told him that I'm quirkless and that all the hero course people are here because they worked their asses off to get here. And also that any quirk can be villainous if you use it that way. And I'm not apologizing for what I did either so don't think you can make me. He deserved to have his ass kicked and the hero society deserved to see it too cause it's one of their failures." Izuku said coldly while not breaking his glare at Nezu.
"I understand your frustrations Izuku I really do, hero society and regular society has ruined things for all of us. But you must understand there is a process to these types of things. I ask you to please have faith in us and we'll have faith in you." Izuku just scoffed at him.
"Believe in me all you want, but belief isn't going to help people, and people who grandstand aren't going to do that either. So let me go and save the weak my way, UA isn't going to help me in any way that matters other than giving me access to the support course."
"You want to save people Izuku, so do we, we may have different methods but our goals are the same. I don't expect you to change I just hope to have you to see us as your allies and to let us help you one day."
"Kind of hard to help a villain don't you think." He said with an eyebrow being raised.
"You're only a villain in name, not in heart. Izuku stay at UA until you save one person after that then decide what to do." Izuku looked at the rat for a minute before responding.
"…Fine I'll save one person, but don't expect me to be a model citizen."
"I don't expect you to be perfect Izuku, I expect you to be the best version of yourself. You may go now."
Izuku turned and left while other teachers looked to Nezu for answers mainly Vlad King.
"Are we sure we should keep him here, after what he just did this may be a problem for us? He's still completely brutal and as far as I can tell he just tolerates us for now."
"Actually I think it's quite the opposite for us. This is a good thing, Izuku is on the verge of an evolution. You heard what he said, Shinso went on about how the hero course students are only here because of their quirks, not their hearts and he referred to himself as a villain due to his quirk. And Izuku addressed those while down there, now there certainly was a much better way of dealing with that but Izuku dealt with it the only way he knew how while angry, through his fists. He tried to help and although you may not like the sound of it he is close to changing, just give him time."
The other teachers didn't want to believe that but in their hearts, they knew that Nezu was right. Izuku never really was one for emotion unless it's with someone who understands him or Eri. So he deals with things the best way he knows how, through his fists.
Observing the current match Izuku saw that Todoroki won after freezing Ida's legs and engines. Then Ida had no choice but to yield and admit defeat, it was a better match than his at least.
'So I beat Shinso black and blue, well no point in crying over spilled milk, I got to prepare to fight Todoroki next. But I do wonder, why did I snap like that, I don't even remember giving a shit about some of the people here besides Eri?'
Izuku didn't bother to watch Mina and Shiozaki's fight since Mina easily won by melting through all of Shiozaki's vines. Although Izuku did have to give credit to Shiozaki's drive since even when she was at an overwhelming disadvantage she didn't give up.
Next was an interesting match of overwhelming power vs. unbreakable wall. Kirishima and Bakugo duked it out but it was Bakugo's tenacity that won him the match since Kirishima couldn't keep up his hardening forever.
"And look at that people we're down to the semifinals and it's between the mean green gangster Izuku Midoriya, the cold gaze of Shoto Todoroki, an acid rain storm waiting to happen Mina Ashido, and the demolition man Katsuki Bakugo!"
"I really hate how you describe my students Mic."
"Don't be like that Aizawa, you know I described them perfectly. Anyways our first match of the Semifinals will be the bruiser Izuku Midoriya vs. the blizzard in a bottle Shoto Todoroki!"
Izuku heard Present Mic call his name and he was walking through the halls to the stage after handing Eri off to Kirishima who was back in the 1-A booth. But as he walked he ended up running into some not-so-pleasant company.
"You there boy, Midoriya or whatever your name is?"
Izuku feeling a little ticked off because someone was being a bit rude to him turned around and was rude back to the person, then he saw it was Endeavor and smiled a bit.
"What do you want fire hazard?" He said getting a noticeable rise out of Endeavor.
"No need to be so rude boy, you're going up against Todoroki in the next match right?"
"Yeah I am, and like I said before what's it to you match stick?"
"Midoriya, I have no idea what your quirk is but you better use it during this match, but it's none of my concern since Todoroki will beat you whether you use it or not. He is destined to be the number one hero." That ticked Izuku off since Endeavor was underestimating him, so he figured he should fuck with his mind a bit by telling him what he found out about the man.
"Wow how encouraging, but let me tell you something. Todoroki isn't you and he never will be, and you can use your bullshit excuse of he's destined to be the number one hero all you want. But you only say that because you made him be that way with a…quirk marriage."
Endeavors eye's widened at the fact Izuku knew about it and he visibly got aggravated but Izuku pressed his buttons further.
"I know all about it and not from Todoroki, but from research. Now here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to beat Todoroki so you can shove your words up your ass and then after I'm going to help him forget you because he clearly needs to, do I make myself clear match stick?" He said with a grin forming on his face.
"You best watch your tone boy, or else it will result in injury for you." Endeavors flames were increasing in heat due to his anger and it just made Izuku grin harder at the man.
"There's nothing you can do to me that I haven't already experienced, so take your empty threats and fuck off would ya I got a snot-nosed brat to kick around."
Izuku and Endeavor glared at each other before Izuku spun around and walked off, but Endeavor wanted the last words to be his.
"I don't know who you think you are but you'll regret making an enemy out of me!"
Izuku just flipped him off as he headed towards the stage he made his way out to see some people cheering for him while others just looked at him to observe his actions. Walking out he met Todoroki already there who started up a conversation.
"What took you so long? Were you scared to come out?"
"Scared of you? In your dreams, I was having a quick chat with your father." That comment got a visible rise out of Todoroki.
"What. Did. He. Say?"
"He said you'd beat me, but you and I both know that is not happening here, what's going to happen is I'm going to mop the floor with you and win. Try all you want but neither you nor him will beat me."
Todoroki looked visibly upset at the fact Izuku had spoken with his father and it made him want to beat Izuku right here and now. Midnight looked to the fighters and got confirmation that they were ready to go by seeing Izuku get into a fighting pose and Todoroki nodding.
As soon as Midnight cracked her whip Todoroki sent out a huge glacier covering the field. Everyone thought it was over right then and there, but then they saw Izuku at the top of the glacier sliding down with a smile on his face.
They were all confused until Aizawa explained it to them, "Looks like Izuku dodged by jumping towards Todoroki since he knew how Todoroki would form his glacier, so he took advantage of that and climbed it to then slide down."
"Hahaha nice one Todoroki but that trick won't work on me, now it's my turn."
Once Izuku reached the bottom he launched off the ice and headed straight for Todoroki with a smile still on his face. He ended up right in front of him but Todoroki made an ice wall that blocked Izuku's punch. The punch had cracked the ice severely making everyone wonder just what kind of power he has.
Climbing over the wall Izuku was shot at with more ice from a pillar that Todoroki made. But Izuku held onto the pillar as it continued to grow, falling off and sliding back down to the base Izuku just got back up and headed straight for Todoroki again.
Todoroki tried to make another ice wall but Izuku went around it and got up close to Todoroki and socked him in the face. He skidded to a stop but Izuku was right in front of him again with a wicked smile slapped on his face.
Getting in his face he punched Todoroki on his jaw then brought his leg up and kicked him into an ice wall. Rushing in he elbowed Todoroki in the chest causing him to fall but as he fell Izuku brought his knee up to meet Todoroki's chin.
Grabbing Todoroki's head he pulled him up and head-butted him. Todoroki tried to make a thin ice wall to separate them but Izuku just elbowed it away with a smile. With blood trickling down his mouth he watched as Izuku punched him in the shoulder and then in the face with his other arm.
Izuku continued to punch, kick, knee, and elbow in a tornado of moves that many people had trouble keeping up with. Todoroki was on his knees and only being supported by Izuku holding his shirt. Izuku did all this with an unnerving smile.
"Come on Todoroki is that all you got? If you only use half your power then you'll never be good enough to save anyone, you'll do more harm than good. So show me your fire if you want a chance to beat me."
Spitting out blood Todoroki looked at Izuku once more with hatred in his eyes, "I'll never use his quirk, and I'll beat you without his power!"
Izuku felt sharp chilled pain run through him, "Agghhhhh!" He let go of Todoroki who backed away from Izuku revealing what he had done. Todoroki had made ice spikes and stabbed Izuku with them.
There were holes in him now, one was at his hip, another in his calf, and another in his other leg's thigh. He breathed hard in an attempt to numb the pain, Midnight looked ready to call the match but Izuku shouted at her.
"Midnight you call this match I kick your ass!" She halted her movements at Izuku's shout, and the audience watched in a mix of emotions.
Todoroki had a look of victory over him while also having some horror in it, 'I did that to him out of hatred? Why would I, I mean he's a brutal villain but why would I do that?'
Izuku dislodged himself from the spikes and blood was coming out of the wounds but instead of a look of pain he just smiled with clear anger in his voice.
"Wow Todoroki, didn't think you had it in you. But this fight isn't over till you use your fire."
Izuku stood up looking like the pain wasn't affecting him and he charged in and started to kick at Todoroki furiously. But Todoroki got some words out in between hits.
"I will…Never use…His power!"
Izuku grabbed Todoroki's head and smashed another head-butt into him as he pulled away he gripped his head and screamed in his face.
"SHUT UP ABOUT NOT USING HIS POWER MOTHERFUCKER, AM I FIGHTING ENDEAVOR? NO, I'M FIGHTING YOU SHOTO TODOROKI! IT'S YOUR FUCKING POWER SO FUCKING USE IT DUMBASS!"
Not many people heard his shouts but Todoroki definitely heard it, eyes widening and hatred for Izuku disappearing he felt warm as a memory resurfaced, one of his mom.
'You'll be a great hero one day Shoto, make sure you use your powers to help people.'
Then all of a sudden flames erupted from Todoroki pushing Izuku back as his uniform caught on fire. He grinned as the fire surrounded Todoroki and his uniform didn't bother him while it burned away.
"Feel better Icy-Hot or are you still a little bitch?"
Todoroki grinned as he looked at Izuku tearing off his uniform showing the world his scarred and chiseled body. The audience had wide eyes to see how much work Izuku put into his body and how much pain he must have gone through to reach this level.
But the audience erupted in cheers as the fight was about to take another turn to a more interesting side. Todoroki grinned and got ready to fight while Izuku broke a piece of ice and held it like a bat.
Staring each other down they simultaneously decided to charge at one another Todoroki fired off a column of flame aimed at Izuku. But Izuku dodged it and got closer to Todoroki bringing the ice bat up.
They met each other and Todoroki froze Izuku's legs but Izuku swung down and hit Todoroki's head breaking the bat. Causing Todoroki to lose focus and accidentally let off a massive flame shot which caused the air to rapidly expand creating an air explosion.
A massive steam cloud filled the stage and prevented people from seeing the match. But as the steam cleared they saw that Todoroki was barely standing and Izuku was impaled on a previous ice spike, with it going into his gut.
The audience gasped at the state Izuku was in but he couldn't care less about his injuries. He smiled smugly as he looked up surprising the audience as he broke the ice spike and pulled it out of himself.
He held it like a bat again and walked over to Todoroki feeling the pain but ignoring it.
"Well Todoroki that was a hell of a match, and I made you use your fire, look at you taking the quirkless kid seriously. Well, see ya later."
He raised the ice bat as Todoroki looked up to see a grinning Izuku as the last thing he saw before the bat was swung down knocking him out.
Midnight called the match as Izuku's win, and the audience cheered at his tenacity and unwavering spirit. He was taken to Recovery Girl's office where he got a harsh scolding as she patched him up.
"Listen here I'm not okaying you to go and fight, in your condition you stand no chance of winning. You'll reopen your wounds and bleed out."
She left as Izuku sat there staring at a cabinet. He was about to get up but then the door opened and Eri, Kirishima, Mina, Jiro, Momo, Uraraka, Ida, and Bakugo came in.
"Oh god, what do you guys want. And why are you here?"
Eri came up and hugged Izuku while shedding some tears, "I thought you were going to get very hurt Izuku."
"I was very hurt but I'm fine now. But why are you guys here, I understand Eri, Mina, Jiro, and Kirishima, but why you guys?" Ida took issue with that and pointed out the obvious.
"We're here to check on you and see how you're doing and also…How are you fine Midoriya!? You have four holes in you, in your condition you won't be able to fight the last round due to your recklessness!"
"Shut it speedster, the damn nerd would never let this stop him, I expect you to be in the ring so I can kick your ass."
"Yeah sure, whatever you say Bakugo, but I'm not out of the running yet I will be in the next match." Momo was curious as to how he would do that.
"How can you fight, like Ida said there are four holes in you? And I never got to thank you for taking me to Recovery Girl after our fight so thank you Midoriya."
"Don't thank me Yaoyorozu, and Kirishima can you go into that cabinet right there, there should be a small metal box in there. Can you hand it to me?"
Kirishima went to the cabinet he pointed out and sure enough, there was a small metal box. He handed Izuku the box and Izuku opened it to reveal a vile of some kind. The others looked on in confusion while Bakugo and Kirishima knew exactly what it was.
"What is that Midoriya, it looks like blood?" Ida asked confused.
"Okay, can all of you guys stop calling me Midoriya I thought I said to call me Izuku. And to answer your question this is a special cocktail of mine. Just watch it do its magic."
Izuku took the vile and jammed it into his chest startling the others and he started to breathe rapidly. His body shivered a bit but then it stopped and he smiled, then he got up surprising everyone more.
Removing the bandages they all saw no injuries, they only left tiny scars and Izuku stretched.
"Well it worked, and I'm all better now." Mina was the first one to ask what the hell just happened.
"What the hell was that Izuku!? How did you do that?" The others unfamiliar ones nodded wanting to know-how as well.
"It's called magic, no but in all seriousness, it's a chemical concoction I made that boosts the healing of a person. While an injury like this will take weeks to heal I can do it in only a few seconds. But don't tell UA I made this, I went behind their backs to do it."
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to tell them though think of the people you can save with this?" Ida spoke with concern in his voice.
"I'll admit it would help but you have to get acclimated to this stuff or else you run the risk of heart failure or blood cancer because it puts so much strain on your body. I can make a toned-down one but that will take some work. Now Mina, Bakugo, I believe you guys have a match to get to?"
"Damn right, I'll wipe the floor with you acid freak!"
"You'll eat those words Baka-go!"
"Would you kids tone it down I have people in here who are trying to res—Midoriya how are you standing?"
"Well, you see Recovery Girl, it's because of this." He crouched down into a running position
"Because of what? What are you hiding from me Midor—Hey get back here!"
Izuku bolted out of the room with Eri and he left the scene while Bakugo and Mina went off to the stage to fight. The fight ended fairly quickly with Bakugo overwhelming Mina and blasting her acid attacks back at her.
"Well, well, well, it's the final match of the tournament people, and I'm not sure it's going to happen with Izuku Midoriya's Injur—HOLY SMOKES IS THAT MIDORIYA!"
The crowd looked down and their jaws dropped when they saw that Izuku was walking out of the tunnel-like he wasn't just impaled in the last round. He had his grin on his face and the scar on his eye standing out.
He walked up to the stage and lifted his shirt and pants to show Midnight that he was uninjured. Midnight did a double-take because she was sure he was impaled in the gut and also to look at his chiseled body, but regardless Izuku was standing here completely fine which baffled her.
"Izuku Midoriya is healed of his injuries, therefore he will be allowed to compete in the last match. Can Katsuki Bakugo come to the stage now?"
Bakugo walked out and onto the stage giving Izuku a feral grin while Izuku grinned back.
"Hey Bakugo, you better not hold back, I'm expecting your best."
"Like I'd hold back against you dumbass, and besides I got an idea, how about a bet?"
"You want to have a bet with me? I take back what I said earlier Bakugo you have changed and not in a good way."
"SHUT UP NERD! If I win we have to have a conversation after all of this, and if you win I leave you alone for the rest of the semester."
"I'll take you up on that deal, though you better get ready to eat your words dipshit!"
Izuku and Bakugo both got into their fighting stances and Midnight cracked her whip and both boys instantly shot at one another.
Bakugo exploded over Izuku aiming to blow up his back but Izuku was smarter than that and he slid under while Bakugo went over. Getting back up he caught the predictable right hook Bakugo threw and flipped him over seeking to stomp on him.
Blasting his way out of the attempted stomping Bakugo got up and dodged a kick Izuku sent at him and dove for his other leg. Izuku simply leap-frogged his way over Bakugo with one leg using superior skills.
The two kept up this attack and dodge schtick for a few more moves until Izuku got in close and caught Bakugo's extending arm then moved to the side and used his other arm to deliver an uppercut under his arm.
Connecting the hit Izuku then swept Bakugo's legs out from under him so he fell face-first into the floor. But Bakugo wouldn't go down that easy and he blew up the ground scattering dust.
Getting up Bakugo put his hands on Izuku and blew him up, sending him across the field. Izuku laid there but he was not done yet. He rolled out of the way of another explosion and flipped back onto his feet.
Deciding to be a gymnast he flipped over another explosion landing feet first into Bakugo's face, dropkicking him to get him away. However, Bakugo did not crumple and instead tanked the hit so he could then blow Izuku up again.
Flying back Izuku skidded to a stop, his arms out in front of him crossed for a shield. Behind that shield was a smile. His clothes were smoldering and his shirt was on fire again, so he tore it off and raised his hands with a devilish smile.
Bakugo looked over with a feral grin and a bloody nose and a bruised chin, placing his hands out in front of him he yelled out, "Flashbang!" and light erupted blinding Izuku.
Taking this chance Bakugo flew over to Izuku and kicked him in the gut, but Izuku with his eyes closed he grabbed Bakugo's leg. And then twisted his body incredibly fast to fling Bakugo away to give himself time to recover.
As Bakugo flew away Izuku opened one eye and saw Bakugo coming straight for him arm extended readying an explosion. With a bigger smile, Izuku jumped at him and simply leaned his head away to the side so Bakugo's hand passed right by and the explosion happened behind him. He moved into super close quarters and delivered a powerful spear hand right at the neck.
Bakugo was still smiling as he took the hit which didn't register since with his speed combined with Izuku's reflexive speed the attack had a powerful impact that sent Bakugo flipping into the air sliding to a stop in bounds.
Izuku grinned and stared back and then looked at his hand to see that the hand he hit with had his pinky and ring finger broken backward. Everyone looking on shuddered at the badly broken fingers.
But Izuku had an annoyed face on and he simply bent them back into a fist wincing at the pain of the broken fingers.
He slowly started approaching Bakugo who was getting up after wheezing from the hit to his throat. But as Izuku got closer Bakugo laughed and looked over to Izuku.
"You have skills now shitty nerd, but now it's time to end this. WATCH AS I TAKE YOU DOWN YOU QUIRKLESS BRAWLER!"
Bakugo yelled loud enough for most of the stadium to hear him and some were shocked to see Izuku as quirkless. Others simply thought that was just a rouse to get Izuku to move in but then Izuku responded with a smile.
"You take me down? Don't make me laugh, you may have gotten stronger since the last time we fought Bakugo but I'll still win. I MAY BE QUIRKLESS BUT I'M STRONGER THAN YOU AT LEAST!"
The audience went silent and some couldn't believe it, others had mixed feelings and others were angry but the boys ignored them. With smiles of genuine excitement on their faces, Izuku rushed in while Bakugo got onto one knee and held his hands out.
Izuku rushed in putting all his power into this last punch intent on ending it now. As he did he kicked the ground with so much force cracks and a small crater were left from his foot.
While Bakugo exploded the ground sending him into the air where he began using his explosions to spin rapidly in the air. He yelled out another move in a raspy voice as his hands started to ache and shake from quirk overuse, "HOWITZER IMPACT!"
A massive explosion erupted forth then a bone-chilling crunch came after the sound and the audience watched in hopeful anticipation waiting for the smoke to clear.
What they saw was a bloody Izuku standing there with a mangled arm that looked like he punched a land mine. Blood seeped down his burns and cuts but at his feet laid a knocked-out Bakugo with a giant bruise on his forehead.
Izuku smiled as he lifted his last good arm with the last of his strength and he laughed out signaling he won, "HAHHAHAHAHHA!"
Then he fell back and passed out as the crowd stayed silent and Midnight came out to check on the boys and take them to the medical office. Where Recovery Girl was waiting to strangle Izuku for getting hurt so badly again.
Magnificently Izuku woke up just in time for the award ceremony to take place. Bakugo, Mina, and Todoroki were already out there and they were beginning to have the awards given out.
The shocked and quiet audience watched the tunnel waiting for the 1st place winner to show up and then out hobbled Izuku covered head to toe in bandages except for his head. He was followed by a furious looking Recovery Girl
He took his place on the podium and the audience murmured while others were still angry about how a quirkless kid won, then Izuku turned to an angry-looking Bakugo.
"I know I won our little bet and all but you fought hard enough to convince me to talk with you, so why not."
Bakugo simply looked down then Midnight came out, "These are your winners for the sports festival! And handing out the medals will be the number one hero himself—"
"I AM HERE TO DELIV—"
"ALL MIGHT!"
An awkward glance between the two and an apologizing Midnight meant she accidentally stole his thunder. But he moved on with the medals in hand and approached Mina and Todoroki.
"Young Ashido you did well to get to this spot and I hope to see you placed higher up in the next festival." He put the medal around a giddy Mina then looked to Todoroki.
"Young Todoroki, you also did well, I have no idea what Young Midoriya may have said to you during your match with him but it looks like it did something for you, don't let this progress go to waste." Putting Todoroki's medal on and receiving a "Thank you" from him he tuned to Bakugo.
"Young Bakugo, I must say that was quite the fight at the end, you did well to not lose control and I have no idea why both you and Midoriya were smiling during your match but it looks like you two had fun. Keep up the hard work." He put the medal on Bakugo who growled at getting it then he moved on to Izuku.
"Young Midoriya, I have no words that can describe how I am feeling right now. You proved to everyone including me that quirkless does not mean powerless. You may be a villain but you have done something here that will never be forgotten and be proud of that. In some way, you helped the people you sought out to aid. And thank you for opening my eyes to my flawed judgment." He put the medal on Izuku who simply grinned smugly then responded to All Might.
"You know if I was a little bitch I'd be shedding a tear right about now. And I don't know if I can forgive you for what you did to me. But who knows maybe I will learn to forgive you. But I do still hate you."
All Might just smiled as he raised his hand to the air, "These students have worked hard to get here so let's send them off with a chant, one…two…three…"
"GOOD JOB!"
But All Might was shocked to hear no sound come from the audience whatsoever. He thought maybe he should try again but then some people made their voices known.
"Why the hell is a useless quirkless kid down there!" All Might and others were taken aback by this except for Izuku who had an annoyed face on. While rolling his eyes like he knew this would happen. Soon other people decided to make their feelings known.
"The quirkless kid doesn't belong here!"
"Why would UA allow a quirkless person into their school!?"
"Get that kid out of there and let the real heroes do their thing!"
As shouts of anger came from the crowd at how Izuku won the sports festival despite being quirkless some even began throwing things onto the field.
Members of class 1-A couldn't believe this, sure they knew Izuku wasn't a hero and instead was a villain who happened to be quirkless. They figured after the impressive showing out on the field the people would at least re-think their stance on the quirkless.
All-for-One watched in amusement, "It is a well-known fact that quirkless are heavily discriminated against. I knew that and Izuku knew that. So the fact that he decided to participate in the festival is amusing. I bet he knew this would happen yet did it anyway to show all of them his strength. Just remember Izuku, the League always has a spot for you, hopefully, this will encourage you to come back to us, because we treat you with respect. Despite what Tomura has done."
As Aizawa was about to defend Izuku, Izuku decided he had enough so he took care of it in his usual fashion. He snuck up behind Midnight and snatched her mic from her even if she tried to resist.
Flipping onto the grass of the stadium he looked up at all the people and had a smile on his face as he put a hand in his pocket and brought the mic up to his mouth. He then spoke with such a commanding and livid tone that he managed to get everyone's attention.
"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Everyone immediately started to be quiet as they looked on, Izuku had a smirk on his face as he began to talk again, this time looking at his teachers.
"If any of you interrupt me I will kick your ass." He said in a tone that sounded more like a threat than a statement but he then continued facing the audience. "You all think I'm weak, don't you? Well, you're wrong, I beat everyone here with my own strength, I didn't get some shitty quirk like the rest of you arrogant assholes. You have no idea what kind of torment I had to go through growing up! But that's not what's important right now, what is important is me proving to you cunts that I have what it fucking takes to beat all of you! So stop hiding in a fucking group and LOOK ME IN THE GODDAMN EYE WHEN YOU CALL ME WEAK! And if you can't do that then you don't deserve to be called strong!"
Silence fell upon the crowd and no one made a move to do anything, some felt shame and some felt guilty but then one person had to come and defend themselves. A male hero who had blonde wavy hair, the man was taller than Izuku by at least a foot and he was built too. He wore a purple vest with purple pants and some purple sunglasses, there were also black fingerless gloves on him. He had a scowl on his face as he walked to the edge of the audience section.
"Hoo, what's this looks like at least one person has a backbone, even if it is shoved too far up his own ass." Izuku had a smirk on his face as he glared at the hero his scar becoming more prominent but he was thinking about the hero. 'Ah the hero Mirage, can turn his body into a mirror and use it like a mirror and can fire off some mirror shards if he breaks the mirrors. This guy's all bark and no bite, this will be easy.'
Then the hero spoke in a gruff tone with a deep voice, annoyance, and anger plastered on his face. "What gives you the right to call us weak when you're just a quirkless brat. You shouldn't even be here in the first place, you should just drop out of UA and let someone with real potential take your spot."
Some of the teachers took offense to that along with a few students who have seen Izuku's skill. And those that knew Izuku was Deku knew he was capable of much more. And some of the students were even hoping Izuku would kick this guy's ass, The teachers with Nezu were about to intervene but Nezu stopped them, knowing what Izuku was going to do so he was already forming a plan in his mind of how to handle this.
Izuku smirked at that man, "I get to call you weak because I know what weakness looks like and so I can spot it. Plus I'm not going to make myself look like some shitty fucking sob story. I'm here to prove myself strong and if you're so against that then come down here and show me how weak I am pussy."
Izuku had clearly aggravated the hero and he jumped onto the field, the teachers were about to intervene but Izuku gave them a death glare that told them to 'sit the fuck down' so they complied even if they hated having to let Izuku handle the situation. The hero began approaching Izuku and Izuku continued.
"Okay, I want to fuck you up so my consent to fight is given, is your consent given?"
"It is given." He rolled his arms to begin his battle with a student. Izuku had a wicked smile given on his face as he proceeded to taunt the hero.
"Perfect, and before we begin I want to tell you I will not be using my arms."
The hero stopped and got even angrier at Izuku and narrowed his eyes at the greenette teen. "Are you looking down on me brat!"
Izuku just looked the man in the eyes with a relaxed face and smirked, "If I don't put you in your place then who will?"
With no further words, the hero turned his arm into mirrors and smashed them together. Izuku just ripped his bandages off with an intimIdating smile and put his hands in his pockets as he looked and saw the hero begin to fire mirror shards at him.
Everyone watched the wide burst of shards approach Izuku at a fast speed, they all thought there was no way for him to dodge based on how many there were, how spread out they were, and how fast they were moving. But Izuku smirked and took a deep breath.
Then proceeded to rapidly kick shards out of the way all while making his way over to the hero. Mirage was shocked to see that his shards were just being kicked out of the way by a quirkless teen who was spinning and sending out rapid kicks. Sure he met people who got around his attack but they all had speed quirks and even people with some type of reinforcement quirk would at least block his attack. But Izuku was just brushing it off by kicking shards out of the way at an extremely fast pace and moving over to him. All with a smile and with his hands in his pocket.
He fired more shards and Izuku either kicked them out of the way or dodged them by moving to the side or going under them. Mirage had a panicked and angry look on his face, he had never met someone who could dodge so fluidly around his shards. Or move so fast that they were able to kick them out of the way.
'What the fuck! This brat is quirkless how is he doing this! WHAT THE FUCK IS HE!'
Using one of his moves Mirage started to create a flash and then the entire arena was filled with bright light disorienting most. Izuku was affected but even with his eyes closed he was still dodging without kicking and then he jumped up and over the shards.
Mirage looked up just in time to see Izuku bringing his leg up while still coming at him in the air and then he backed up just slightly to dodge. The leg slammed down creating a large dirt cloud and a small crater was left where his foot impacted then Izuku spun while crouching down kicking Mirage's legs out from under him.
Mirage fell back and rolled to dodge another foot slam. Getting up he tried to throw a punch at Izuku but Izuku just dodged over it with a small hop and kneed Mirage in the face with a smirk and planted his foot in the hero's face and launched off it with a flip. The hero backed away more clearly seeing he was outmatched in hand-to-hand combat.
Noticing that Izuku's eyes were open now and he had a smug smirk on, it still pissed him off that his hands were still in his pockets and that he was only using his legs so Mirage thought he could distract Izuku.
"You think this is funny punk! You're nothing but a weakling!" Izuku just grinned at him.
"Are you sure about that? I did just attack you and land hits, while you have yet to land a single shard on me. So let me ask, who's the stronger one here?"
Mirage was just angry now and not thinking straight so he gathered all his strength and prepared to end it here and now, even if he kills Izuku.
Izuku noticed the growing power and just smiled while getting into a stance, then a shard came flying out of Mirage's chest, a fast and big shard. But Izuku just kicked the tip of the shard up and it flew straight into the sky. Almost like it was slow motion Izuku jumped amazingly high and spun in the air and kicked across his body at the shard.
The shard was redirected at Mirage, it shot faster than Mirage fired it and from a higher angle no less. Mirage fell back and the shard landed uncomfortably close to his crotch between his legs.
Izuku landed lightly on one foot almost like he was flying with his hands still in his pockets and he walked over to the hero and looked down at him with a smug smile.
"Man I at least thought this would be challenging enough to where I had to get really serious, but you ain't shit."
Izuku spun to walk away but Mirage reacting in anger and pride got up and threw another big shard at Izuku.
This time Izuku took his hands out and palmed the shard at a precise angle with the right amount of force that made the shard stop there and spin like it was in zero gravity for a moment. Then he punched the shard back at Mirage with tremendous force, making it go faster than before.
The shard grazed his arm cutting it open and then flew back and got stuck in the wall. When everyone looked back at Izuku they could see he was angry but he took a deep breath and began to walk away while calling out to the hero.
"I should beat the ever-loving shit out of you for that, but you're so weak I'd be going against my goal of protecting the weak so you're just not worth it anymore."
Taking the mic back out he addressed everyone there. "If you still have a problem with me I'd be more than happy to sort it out with you. So who here still thinks that I'm weak and didn't deserve my win?"
There was nothing but silence as Izuku waited and he simply chuckled into the mic and dropped it before heading back into one of the tunnels to go somewhere else. Soon the sports festival had concluded but Izuku's business with people hasn't.
