Chapter Two
(All-Might's perspective will be underlined)
My face burned hot of embarrassment as All-Might stared at me like I was insane. Then he straightened up and cleared his throat looking down at me. "I'm sorry my dear boy but I'm afraid you could never become a hero without a quirk." My world shattered in front of me as I heard those words.
I started to stammer and stutter as I could barely get the words out. "B-but why not I've b-been trying hard to study and learn f-from heroes and their work." All-Might's face turned from expressionless to a look close to pity. "I'm sorry dear boy but there's to many dangers that villains pose to you if you have no quirk."
My eyes tried to fight back the traitorous tears from coming out, but they wouldn't. All-Might's face turned in to an expression I had never seen from his videos before. His face adorned a frown as he looked at me concerned. "Don't worry there are many other options like an officer, or a support item maker do not give up hope yet."
I couldn't look at his face as my eyes dropped down to my feet. "R-right sorry for wasting your time like this ill be off now." I tried to get away as fast as I could without seeming to be running away from this world-shattering news. I got off the roof and down the stairwell heading to the most important turn in my life.
"I didn't mean to hurt the kid I just needed him to get away before my limit was up." All-Might had said to himself as he started to see the smoke which meant his time was up. "All right villain its time to get you to the police station before my time is up." He had said as he checked his pockets then realized he was gone." What, when did he get away, when could he have?"
That's when he realized it must have been when the kid had grabbed hold of him. "Shit what am I going to do now my limits up." The second the words came out of his mouth he powered down to a weak thin skeletal form of the great man known as All-Might. Just then a great explosion rang throughout the city as he looked at the smoke in fear.
I had seen the explosion and started running towards it as my mind wondered what heroes would be there. Then my ran became a job and slowed to a stop as his voice rang in my head. "I'm sorry but you can't become a hero without a quirk." I stayed there looking at the ground as my head swam with thoughts. Then I reminded myself there are other jobs to help people just like All-Might had said.
I slowly walked to where the explosion was and looked to see what was going on. I was then filled with fear and terror as I seen the horrific scene before me. It was kacchan ensnared by the sludge villain that I couldn't even hold myself up for a few seconds against him. Before I could even think my legs were moving and I felt my fingers trying to tear through the sludge.
I had run all the way to the seen of the explosion and I had seen it. The heroes were just standing there watching as a quirk-less boy tried tearing away the sludge villain. I blamed myself as I watched helplessly as this villain was about to take the lives of two young boys. "N-no I will not let them die here." Were the only words I muttered as I powered up beyond what I should have and blown that villain away.
I couldn't believe my eyes as I was tearing away the villain from kacchan he appeared. All-Might took down that villain in one hit while I was just in the way. I got scolded by the heroes saying that I could have been seriously hurt pulling a stunt like that. I didn't care because I knew I still wanted to save people no matter what would happen or the job I took.
That dream was soon crushed and taken away slowly bit by bit. The first blow was by All-Might appearing in front of me and telling me I was brave but stupid which I understood. The world-shattering view came a few days later when every application from every hero, officer, and support application was denied and I couldn't understand why, until that night.
The Hero Public Safety Commission president was on the news discussing the sludge villain incident. He was asked about a question of a boy who tried to help even though he was quirkless. The president cleared his throat and laid it all out for me. "I believe the boy in question was reckless and irresponsible endangering the lives of the citizens getting in the heroes way. That is why in my better judgement I have banned him from every type of civilian protecting companies and agencies before he pulls a stunt like this again."
Tears filled my eyes as I ran in to my room only to see the face of the man who said I could never become a hero. For once in my life…I believed them all the people that never said I could become a hero. So, I decided that I wouldn't try to be like a hero again and tor all my poster and figurines of All-Might down. I screamed into the night as I threw my number 13 journal and all the others out my window as hard as I could.
The next few days had only gotten worse. Graffiti on our door saying hero all over and broken windows. The stress was hurting me and breaking down my mom. Being mocked only for wanting to save people. I wondered what kind of world is that it was one I didn't want to live in. So, I had left in the dead of the night when my mom was asleep. Got to the top of the school as kacchan's words rang through my head.
I jumped and could feel the wind blow against my body plummeting to the ground. I could have sworn I hit the ground because I felt myself hit something. But for some reason I couldn't feel myself in pain except for the left side of my face feeling blood pour from it. The rest of my body felt cold like it was in ice water as I opened my eyes all I could see was darkness.
