"LIES!" The hand slammed the table.

Izuku sighed, his hands handcuffed with quirk suppressant cuffs and his legs handcuffed to the table. How many minutes since the last punch to the face? These were nothing compared to Kacchan's explosions. He built quite the pain tolerance over the years.

"I'm telling the truth. You could just get Detective Tsukauchi. He has the Truth quirk. He can make your job much easier." Izuku said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Shut it villain. You don't make the rules here." The overzealous detective said, slamming his fist into Izuku's face once more.

'And yet here you are illegally interrogating a minor. You're not even in charge of this case.' Izuku spit out the blood from his mouth.

Villain. Izuku hated that word. He didn't enroll into his dream school to be called that word. After everything he did for the school, it was wrong that he is being treated like this, accused of something so stupid.

He is accused of being the UA traitor.

Three weeks ago- Christmas Eve Morning

Izuku was getting ready for his jog. He was already freaking out that he couldn't find his hero notebook. He needed to finish the drawing for his surprise or he wouldn't be able to get it to Hatsume in time. The class had stopped talking to him for the past few days except Todoroki. Kacchan was still being Kacchan but was more hostile to everyone but him. He denounced it as them being busy. He never said anything but it hurt, making him feel he was back in Aldera.

Izuku rushed down to the common room. He saw Aizawa standing in front of Class A who were sitting. He didn't get any message to come downstairs. "Good morning, Mr. Aizawa. Is there something that I missed that I was not aware of?"

The majority of the class turned to his direction and were giving him cold glares or looks of disgust except Todoroki who glared at the erasure hero. Kacchan looked irate as he looked down at the floor, his fists clenched. He didn't notice a few others not looking at him like the majority were.

"No. This has nothing to concern you, Midoriya." Aizawa said as he gave Izuku a cold glare himself.

'Ok.' Izuku thought.

As he left the dorm, he felt several pairs of eyes watching him. As he was jogging, his mind went to what happened inside. 'Mr. Aizawa said it has nothing to do with me but everyone else was there and they were looking at me in a way since… No, things are different now. It's no longer like Aldera.' Izuku shook his head. He stopped in place, looking down at the ground.

"Hey Midoriya." Izuku heard Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu's voice. He felt sorry for whoever named him. Try saying his whole name four times fast, a real tongue twister right there. The One For All successor looked up and saw the Steel user jogging with Class B's big sister and class rep, Itsuka Kendo next to him.

"Hey Tetsutetsu. Hey Kendo." Izuku waved at the two, who stopped in front of him.

I didn't know you went out jogging in the morning." Itsuka said.

"I usually go jogging earlier but I was busy with something else." Izuku said.

"Why don't you join us?" Itsuka asked with a smile.

"What do I have to lose?" Izuku asked before joining the two of them.

"Are you guys okay?" Izuku looked back at his two running companions when they caught up to him.

"Give.. me.. a.. minute." Itsuka said, looking like she was about to collapse.

"Are you sure you're not using your quirk? This feels like cheating." Tetsutetsu was doing a bit better but he was still out of breath.

Izuku chuckled. "If I was using my quirk, there would be a dust cloud when I run and the green lightning. How far do you usually go?"

"We barely reached the halfway point." Tetsutetsu said.

"What happened to the girl lugging a whole cannon or the guy that was literally on fire? I guess it was all a feint. Now I know why my class won the Joint Training." Izuku mischievously taunts the two.

The two class B students gave the greenette competitive glares. Suddenly they weren't so tired anymore.

"Kendo, we need to show Midoriya what it means to go Plus Ultra." Tetsutetsu said with his fist clenched.

"We're going to make you eat your dust, Midoriya." Itsuka said in determination.

Izuku grinned. He liked to see this friendly competition from his rival class and not the degrading type from Monoma. "That's more like it."

When Izuku got back from his jog, he asked why he was being treated like this for the last couple of days. But instead of giving him an answer, most of the class just walked away, giving him the cold shoulder.

On Christmas morning, he stopped Uraraka to ask why everyone was ignoring him for the past few days since she is his best friend but with a cold glare herself, she tried to slap him. He was faster and dodged the slap.

"Forget I even asked." He walked away, questioning her cold glare.

He asked Todoroki next but the boy wouldn't say anything except, "It's not your fault."

Izuku was confused and felt a little afraid but at least he knew the dual powered boy is still on his side.

During the Christmas party in the 1-A dorm, nobody would talk to Izuku except Todoroki. Kacchan was being Kacchan but he was still acting even more hostile to his friends for some reason. Even Eri in her adorable Santa outfit was kept away from Izuku by either Asui and Uraraka or Aizawa whenever the greenette got close to her. His heart shattered into a million pieces. He felt miserable and he hated it. After a while realizing nobody would miss him, he went to his room and locked the door from the inside. He unlocked the door to his balcony.

'Just in case.' Izuku thought.

The OFA successor activated his quirk and jumped from his balcony. He had to get away from his classmates. He didn't know where to go so he decided to head to the 1-B dorms. He hoped that they weren't going to treat him like his class. He knocked on the door and the blond loudmouth, Monoma, opened the door. "Well if it isn't the gol… urk."

Izuku was puzzled why the blond suddenly collapsed then he realized it was the signature neck chop of Itsuka. The said girl appeared at the door and Izuku's eyes widened as he took in the sight in front of him. Like the girls in his class who were dressed in either green or red Santa outfits, she was dressed in a red Santa outfit that hugged her figure and she looked gorgeous. She always looked gorgeous whether it was the qipao that she wears as her hero costume or that blue dress she wore for the Beauty Pageant or even in a regular school uniform. He didn't dare say it but he had a crush on her since the Sports Festival. But he never said anything because he knew she didn't feel the same for him. He probably had hearts for eyes seeing her in her qipao for the first time in that hairspray commercial with Yaoyorozu and Uwabami. He thought her eyes looked mesmerizing. He then realized he was starting to sound like a pervert, like Mineta. He shuddered internally.

When Itsuka noticed he wasn't saying anything, she decided to start the conversation. "Hey Midoriya. Merry Christmas. You're a long way from the 1-A dorm."

Izuku slapped himself when he realized he was staring, surprising Itsuka. "H-hi K-kendo. Y-yeah it's me, I-izuku M-midoriya. M-merry Christmas." The greenette was internally cursing his stuttering. 'Nice impression, you fanboy. You were doing so well yesterday.'

Itsuka giggled at his stuttering. He looked cute in his Santa outfit especially since the green costume went with his hair. "Aren't you guys having a Christmas party at your dorm?"

Izuku looked down at the ground. He sniffled which worried Itsuka. "Yeah we are but I'm not having a good time there."

"What's wrong?" Itsuka asked.

Izuku looked up at Itsuka with tears in his eyes which definitely worried the proclaimed big sister. "Everyone there won't talk to me except Todoroki. Kacchan was still being Kacchan but he doesn't hate me, I think. I don't know what I did wrong but it hurts and I hate it."

"Kacchan?" Itsuka asked in confusion.

Izulu forgot that nobody knew his nickname except Class A. "Oh right. Katsuki Bakugou. The blond with Explosions who took out Tokage."

Itsuka pulled Izuku towards her and hugged him. "I'm sorry that they're doing that to you. Someone as kind and handsome as you doesn't deserve to be treated like that."

'I just called Izuku handsome. I hope he didn't hear me.' Itsuka wouldn't admit it but she had a crush on the boy since the Sports Festival. She noticed they were the same height. 'I can't believe that your own classmates turned on you. Please forgive me that I can't tell you why you're being treated like this. But I'm going to be here for you if you will let me.'

'S-so close.' Izuku felt his grip on her tightening a little bit. She felt warm and the hug felt nice. He never noticed that they're the same height. 'Wait did Itsuka just call me handsome?! But isn't she with Tetsutetsu?'

Itsuka pulled away from Izuku and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Why don't you come inside?" The class rep offered.

"Are you sure? I don't want to burden you with my problem and ruin your party."

Itsuka let Izuku into the dorm. "Don't be silly. We're not all like Monoma. Plus why let your classmates ruin Christmas for you? You don't need them to have fun."

"Thanks." Izuku was grateful for her hospitality. "Monoma seems like a nice guy when you get past that craziness of his."

"What makes you say that?" Itsuka asked.

"Well Monoma came by to the teachers dorm because Mr. Aizawa requested that he come to see Eri. He explained that his quirk doesn't work on quirks like mine or hers since her power comes from her horn because he can only copy the nature of the quirk. He was calm the whole time so I feel that the way he acts with my class is not who he really is."

"Eri?" Itsuka asked. "You mean that adorable little girl with white hair that was with you and Mirio Togata during the Festival? Her name is Eri?"

"That's the one." Izuku said.

"She looked so precious at the Festival. When I first saw her, I thought she was your little sister or something." Itsuka teased which made Izuku flail his arms in front of him.

"I-it's not p-possible. I'm an only child. Plus we just met recently so there's no way."

Itsuka put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "I'm teasing you. But she can be like a little sister. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean look at me. I'm the big sister of this class even though most of them are older than me. So what did you find out about Copy when he tried to copy your quirk?"

"Well you're straightforward so you're perfect for that role. And that's the name of his quirk? That's pretty much on the nose. Copy is actually an awesome quirk since he can copy three quirks at a time. It would be great for combat and rescue and he can copy the quirk of his opponent." Izuku explained excitedly, making Itsuka smile. "But I guess it depends on the type of quirk which I just found out recently. So since my quirk and Eri's are the same because they're stockpiling quirks or accumulation quirks, he draws a 'blank' and he won't be able to use it. It's a good thing too that he couldn't use my quirk."

"Why's that?" Itsuka asked.

"Remember what I did at the Sports Festival and the training camp?" Izuku asked, which made Itsuka nod. "It would have been much worse since he's not as built as me."

'I would like to see how built you are.' Itsuka thought as a way to distract her from the nausea she felt to what could have happened to Monoma from using Izuku's quirk. 'No. Bad Itsuka. You shouldn't be thinking of him like this. But I like him and I don't know if he likes me. Ugh why are feelings so complicated?'

"Kendo? Kendo?" Izuku asked, snapping Itsuka out of her stupor. "Are you okay?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking about how gruesome that would be." Itsuka said. "Monoma can be crazy at times."

That made Izuku chuckle. "I guess he was trying to see if he could even copy my quirk. He did want the win for his team." Izuku sighed. "I can only imagine that he got picked on when he was younger because of Copy."

"Why would you think that?" Itsuka asked.

"I mean, a quirk is unique to the person that carries it. So to have a quirk that can copy yours, it can cause some conflict especially to the most arrogant and prideful of people." Izuku explained.

"You mean like Bakugou?" Itsuka asked as she dragged the unconscious blond and beckoned Izuku to follow her. The two of them walked to the common room where the party was.

Izuku fought back a laugh. "I guess. I heard that he copied Kacchan and Kirishima's quirks during the Cavalry Battle. But don't get me wrong, I think all quirks are awesome."

'Here Aizawa and his classmates think that this sweet guy is the traitor. UA needs to raise its standards in its teachers. Izuku is smart and passionate but he's no traitor.' Itsuka sighed internally. "I'm guessing there's some history there with you getting picked on since you knew that he had gone through something like that."

Izuku stiffened. "Yeah but that's a story for later. Plus I don't know if you would want to hear it because I don't know how most people would feel about it."

"I respect your decision and I'm not like most people. I would like to hear your story." Itsuka reassured him.

Izuku smiled at the class representative. "Thanks. That means a lot."

"Don't mention it." The two of them walked into the common room where the rest of 1-B were and all the talking ceased as they looked at Izuku.

"Um h-hi everyone. M-merry C-Christmas." Izuku said nervously and waved. The introvert in him was starting to panic, especially since the majority of these fellow heroes in training he knew nothing about. "S-sorry to intrude y-your party."

"Hey guys. Midoriya was not having fun at his dorm so he came here as a guest of mine. So let's give him a proper hello." Itsuka stated, trying to relieve the awkward tension.

Ibara Shiozaki took Itsuka's words seriously and stood up from her seat to approach Izuku. She bowed her head. "Hello Midoriya. Merry Christmas. It's good to see you again. How are you?"

"H-hi Shiozaki. I am doing f-fine. N-nice to see you again too. H-how are you?" Like Itsuka, the vine girl was also dressed in a red Santa outfit. All the girls were dressed in red Santa outfits. During the Sports Festival, Shiozaki earned a spot in his 'Hero Analysis' notebook No. 13. He thought it was cool how easily she took down Kaminari in their match during the Sports Festival.

"I am doing quite well." Shiozaki said. "Please take a seat."

Tetsutetsu waved at Izuku. "Hey Midoriya. Who would've thought we would run into each other again?"

Izuku chuckled. "Yeah who would've thought?"

Itsuka dragged Monoma's unconscious body to the couch where Kosei Tsuburaba and Sen Kaibara were sitting. She then grabbed Izuku by the arm and dragged him to the couch where she and Setsuna Tokage were sitting. Tokage looked up and gave her fellow greenette a toothy grin. "Hey Midoriya. Merry Christmas. What's up?"

"Hey Tokage." Izuku said, swallowing down his nervousness.

"Scoot over Set. I'm sitting in the middle so Midoriya can sit next to me." Itsuka said.

"Why not put him in the middle, Prez? I'm sure Midoriya would like to be sandwiched by two beautiful girls." Tokage teased.

Izuku went red at that statement which Itsuka noticed.

"Set!" The class rep scolded the lizard girl.

Setsuna cackled and threw her head back. "You should see your face, Greenie."

"Greenie?" Izuku asked, baffled by the sudden nickname.

"Yeah. That's my nickname for you." Setsuna said.

Izuku thought about it. He shrugged. "Sure. I'll take it."

"Yes!" Setsuna said as she did a fist pump.

Izuku talked to a few of the students with Itsuka by his side. Monoma woke up from his little nap and was about to start a fight with Izuku when Itsuka gave him a small glare, not to bother her crush.

"Are you doing okay?" Itsuka asked Izuku when they got back to their couch.

"Um yeah. I'm doing great." Izuku said nervously.

"Are you still upset about your classmates?" Itsuka asked.

"No. It's not that. Maybe a little." Izuku admitted. "It's just the fact that Eri was there and I couldn't talk to her, it hurts me."

'They even kept Eri away from him?' Itsuka thought.

"Are you hungry?" Itsuka asked.

Izuku nodded. "Starving."

After half an hour, Izuku got up from his seat. "It's getting late. I should head back to my dorm. Thanks for letting me stay here, Kendo."

"I'll walk you out, Midoriya." Itsuka got up and walked with Izuku to the entrance.

"Thanks. Good night, guys." Izuku waved goodbye.

"Good night." Class 1-B said in unison.

"Wait Midoriya. Give me your phone." Itsuka said before her crush left the doorway.

"Okay." Izuku gave Itsuka his phone and a minute later, she gave it back to him. He looked at his phone and saw her contact information. Her first name was there with an orange heart which surprised him.

"Here's my number in case you have an emergency or you need someone to talk to." Itsuka gave Izuku a hug. "See you around. Good night." She hoped that he didn't see the blush on her cheeks.

"Thanks Kendo, I had a good time. Good night." Izuku smiled and waved goodbye. He hoped that she didn't see that he had a small blush on his cheeks.

When he returned to the 1-A dorms, he used One For All to jump to his balcony. He felt his phone vibrate. He saw a few missed calls and messages from Todoroki.

Todoroki: Where are you?

Izuku: I'm in my room. Why?

Todoroki: Mr. Aizawa was looking for you.

Izuku: Why is he looking for me?

Todoroki: Not sure. When we start the work studies, I'd like you to join me and Bakugou at the Endeavor Agency

Izuku: Are you sure? Why would you want me there?

Todoroki: You said that the Nighteye agency is busy and that unlike last time, these work studies are mandatory.

Izuku: Oh yeah. Thanks Todoroki. I appreciate it.

Todoroki: Call me Shoto.

Izuku: Sure that's fine. You can call me Izuku then.

Todoroki: Since you were the only one missing during the Secret Santa, I grabbed your present and don't worry. I didn't open it.

Izuku: Thanks, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. Did Eri get anything?

Todoroki: Tokoyami bought a sword. She got that as a Christmas gift.

Izuku almost dropped his phone. He had to blink to see if he misread that. He wasn't misreading it. Eri really got a sword as a Christmas gift.

Izuku: A sword?!

Todoroki: Yeah but Mr. Aizawa made sure to keep it from her so she doesn't hurt herself.

Izuku: That's good. I'm going to sleep now. Good night

Todoroki: Good night

While the second and third years had the week off for Christmas break, the first years still continued to have classes. Izuku's classmates were still awry towards him. The greenette went to Shoto's room to pick up his Christmas present and when he opened it, he noticed it was mochi. He knew that only one person who would give him mochi and put it in his desk.

When Aizawa walked into class, he gave Izuku a cold glare which made the boy flinch. What did he do to anger his teacher this much?

The first thing he noticed wrong was that most of the class had started to get creeped out by the muttering. Most of them moved their desks away from him.

It was during Math class, where he started muttering because of a problem he was trying to solve, only to have gotten shut up by Sero, who glared his way.

His mouth and mind always ran faster than his hands, that's why he needed to sort and voice his thoughts out loud, to actually remember everything he needed for his analysis and schoolwork.

'They didn't have a problem with any of it before. Why do they have a problem with it now?' Izuku thought to himself.

At least the silver lining was that the teachers were still kind to him especially All Might, Midnight and Present Mic. They didn't treat him indifferently. It meant two things which he was aware of since Aldera. The first was they knew what was going on and they didn't partake in it. The second was that they didn't know what was going on. But Aizawa was glaring at him so why didn't the other teachers treat him the same way? Izuku knew that Present Mic and Midnight knew Aizawa since their days as UA students.

During hero class, All Might had the class do some team exercises. Izuku was on a team with Ashido, Ojiro, Yaoyorozu and Uraraka. Izuku had a plan but the four of them were not listening to his plan. Izuku was basically on his own when Shoji and Jirou almost ambushed him. For some unknown reason, Ashido appeared out of nowhere and tried to use her acid on them when he was trying to dodge Shoji's attack. But what horrified him was that the acid was corrosive when he saw that the floor was steaming after he dodged the sudden attack from his classmate. She intentionally tried to hurt him.

"Are you crazy?" Izuku glared at Ashido after knocking out Shoji. "If I got hit by that acid, it could have melted my arm."

Ashido just stayed silent and rolled her eyes. Izuku looked at Yaoyorozu, Uraraka and Ojiro when they appeared next to her. "Aren't any of you going to say anything to her about this?" The three of them also stayed silent.

"Are you…" Izuku clenched his fist. "You know what? I'm not doing this. All Might, I forfeit this match!"

"Young Midoriya, are you positive? This can affect your grade."

"I don't fucking care." All Might and the other students were shocked to hear Izuku curse. "If my teammate tried to melt my arm with that corrosive acid and none of my other teammates defended me after I was almost deliberately attacked, then I refuse to work with them."

"Very well. The hero team is disqualified." All Might announced.

"What?!" The four other participants exclaimed in outrage.

'Now they want to talk.' Izuku thought.

"You heard me. Young Ashido tried to hurt her teammate and the other heroes did not defend the fellow hero. The villain team wins." All Might stated.

Izuku walked out of the building, avoiding the glares from his teammates. 'Heroes. Pfft. Yeah right.'

When they got to the monitoring room, Ashido walked up to Izuku, glaring at him. "This is all your fault, Deku."

"My fault?!" Izuku glared back at her, shocked that she called him by his hero name with disdain. "You're the one who tried to melt my arm and you're saying it's my fault. You're a hero, not a villain. You're a psycho if you think I'm going to let you get away with something like that."

"Hey. It's not manly to yell at a girl." Kirishima tried to pull the greenette away from his horn buddy.

Izuku pulled his arm away from the sharp toothed redhead. "Shut up Kirishima. That wasn't even yelling. I don't care if she's your best friend. She tried to melt my arm and you're here telling me what it takes to be a hero or a man. Why don't you go lecture her on how not to permanently injure someone unless she's got you wrapped around her finger like the fragile hero you are?"

Kirishima glared at Izuku. "First of all, she's my girlfriend and it's not manly to talk about a girl like that."

Izuku turned to face Kirishima, his fist clenched ready to punch him. "You know what? I don't care if she's your girlfriend. I'm sick and tired of your manly talk. You talk about being manly but here you are defending villain behavior."

Before Izuku could swing at the redhead, Shoto and Kacchan split them up.

"That's enough, you two." All Might intervened. Despite no longer being able to hold his hero form, he still had an intimidating nature. "Clearly neither of you are in the right headspace right now so young Midoriya, head to the lockers. Young Kirishima, your team is next."

Ashido turned to glare at Izuku and he glared back. He grumbled as he walked out of the training ground to the lockers.

The next thing that troubled him was that his friends stopped sitting with him at lunch. Shoto was the only one who sat with him. Itsuka noticed that as she was walking to her table.

After class was over for the day, Izuku had started writing in a new analysis notebook, the other one was still nowhere to be found and he gave up looking for it. But he felt there was something wrong when he still couldn't find it and then there were the constant watchful looks from his classmates. This new notebook would be for his new quirks. He had ideas for Blackwhip but they didn't mean anything if he couldn't talk to Sero or Aizawa about it. Until then, he could talk to Shiozaki. Her quirk worked the same way as Blackwhip. Even though it's not as strong as her vines right now, it could be great for capture or rescue, especially how versatile it is. But he had to be careful otherwise he would injure someone like he did to Uraraka. After a few minutes, he noticed the common room became quiet and the eyes of his classmates were on him and not in a good way. The boy had put down the pen and notebook, not missing how everyone seemed to relax at that. Izuku narrowed his eyes after his classmates turned away and went back to their usual business.

Were they scared of his notebook?

But that was ridiculous. They knew what was in them, what he wrote about, why did they look at him like that, like he was someone to fear? But the only reason that they would be so scared of his notebook is that.. no it's impossible. They would never go into his room without his permission. He won't make assumptions, not yet until he was certain but this was definitely a red flag.

The breaking point in all of this was them calling him Deku. It was not how Uraraka would say it. It sounded impersonal like back in Aldera. When they thought he couldn't hear them talking about him, they were wrong. Even Uraraka was calling him Deku. Kacchan avoided hurling insults at him and stopped calling him Deku. He just called him 'nerd' instead.

Izuku approached Asui to ask her a question. This time, he used the name that she told him to call her successfully. "Hey Tsu, do you know if you can help me with this?"

She looked at him with a dirty look and the words that came from her mouth shocked him. "Only my friends can call me Tsu, Deku."

"Ok." Izuku said awkwardly. "Good talk."

He walked away from there. This was all wrong. What did he do to them that he was being treated like this? He never said anything offensive to them. He never did anything offensive to them.

Izuku knew that the majority of his classmates no longer considered him as one of their friends anymore.. no.. every single one of his classmates except Shoto and Kacchan no longer considered him as one of their friends anymore.

His only light of hope is Itsuka. She is the only reason that he wasn't crying himself to sleep yesterday and today. He didn't know if she or the rest of Class B would soon start treating him like Class A but he was glad that they haven't yet. When he was about to text Itsuka, his phone vibrated and he was surprised to see her message him.

Itsuka: Hey you awake?

Izuku: Yeah. I was just about to message you.

Itsuka: How were your classes?

Izuku: They were okay. What about you?

Itsuka: Same. I noticed that your friends were not sitting with you at lunch except Todoroki. Are they still not talking to you?

Izuku: I don't get what I did wrong. It's like some cruel prank.

Itsuka: That's really petty of them. If you want, I'll sit with you at lunch tomorrow from here on out.

Izuku: Kendo, you don't need to do that.

Itsuka: I know but I want to and you're not changing my mind.

Izuku: Fine. But thank you

Itsuka: You're welcome :)

Izuku smiled, thankful to Itsuka. The two of them messaged each other before he started getting sleepy. He said good night and then went to sleep.

The next day, it was Uraraka's birthday and Izuku hoped that she would be a little nice and say thank you. He wished that he had his gift for her but sadly he didn't. He approached his 'best friend' who was talking to Iida and Asui in the common room.

"Happy Birthday, Uraraka." Izuku said with a bright smile.

When the brunette turned to Izuku, she didn't even acknowledge his 'Happy Birthday'. She didn't say 'thank you'. She just turned back to Iida and Asui, going back into her conversation. Izuku slumped in humiliation and defeat and walked back to his room. Shoto glared at the three of them before continuing to check his notes for class.

In hero class, Uraraka was Izuku's opponent in non quirk combat training. After a few punches and counters, she took him down with a pin after she judo flipped him but after he said that he gave in, she was still pulling his arm.

"Young Uraraka, stop! You're going to break his arm!" All Might exclaimed.

Izuku screamed for someone to stop her and that he gave in but nobody stopped her. Kacchan and Shoto tried to get her off him but she wouldn't budge so before she snapped his arm, he powered up One For All and threw her off like he did to Toga when she was disguised as that Utsushimi girl during the Provisional Exam. Since Shoto and Kacchan were in the vicinity, they were also thrown off.

Izuku got up and turned to look at Uraraka. The look of rage in his eyes was so scary that she backed up and the green sparks surrounding him made him even more scary. Now she knows what Chisaki felt during the fight in the air. "Are you serious?! I'm telling you that I gave in and you still almost snapped my arm. I'm sick and tired of this, Uraraka. You're my best friend but you treated me the same as the others. I'm done giving you a chance. Our friendship is over. Screw you and screw your martial arts. Stay away from me." Izuku brushed off All Might and walked out of the gym as the former hero followed him.

Mina and Tsuyu approached the brunette. "Are you okay, Ochako? Did he do anything to hurt you?" Mina asked.

Ochako shook her head. "No but I hurt him more. I almost broke his arm and now he has broken off our friendship."

Mina shrugged. "Eh, who cares about that? If he puts his hands on any of us other than training, then he goes straight to Tartarus."

"What if he's not the traitor and we're treating him like this for no reason?" Ochako asked.

"Did you forget about what was written in that notebook?" Tsuyu asked. "Deku could kill us at any time."

"I don't know, girls. Something's a little strange about all of this." Ochako admitted.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Round Face?" Katsuki snarled at the brunette, walking up to her.

"Easy Bakubro. She didn't mean it." Kirishima tried to stop his friend from attacking her.

"She didn't mean it? She didn't mean it?!" Katsuki grabbed Shitty Hair's collar. "The nerd surrendered after she pinned him. All Might was telling her to stop and she still kept going. The only reason his arm is not broken right now is because he used his quirk to get her off. First you defended Raccoon Eyes' action yesterday and now you're defending Round Face's action today. You're something else, Shitty Hair. All of you extras are."

"Young Midoriya, are you okay?"

"Am I okay?!" Izuku asked in anger. "My best friend tried to break my arm. I never did anything to her and she tried to hurt me. None of this is right."

"If you want to blow off some steam, you can but make sure not to hurt yourself."

"Okay. Thanks All Might."

"Of course, my boy." All Might said and walked back into the gym.

He didn't know what he did to get treated like this by his best friend of all people. But he had a feeling that this ostracization was far from over.
