Chapter 2: Petty Motives
After his first try, he became an enthusiast. Not an addict. He can live without drinking blood, he just chooses to drink from time to time.
Izuku was licking his fingers as the man under him tried to crawl away. "You know, it would had been less painful and more hygienic if you didn't try to struggle. Honestly, it was the first time I broke someone's leg for a treat."
Izuku stomped on his back, spikes forming out of his blood on the plant of his feet making the man scream in pain. Izuku bent down to pick up his wallet. "I am not a thief, but some extra money can help back home. Besides, you wouldn't mind giving it to me, right?"
He twisted his foot making the man scream and cry in pain "Y-Yes! Take it! I don't care! Just... Please stop..."
Izuku smiled at him "Alright, I am done here." He lifted his foot and the man looked back at him, only for his face to be impaled by a spike.
Izuku licked his fingers one more time, dropped the wallet and away.
*Next Day, Aldera School*
He doesn't found pleasure in killing. Really, it is just to satisfy himself with a sweet treat. But he can bet, that killing Katsuki, would feel nice.
But he knows that would be hard, if not impossible right now. Katsuki had his quirk since he was 4, and he knows how to use it and improve with it. He just discovered how to use his, and in fight, he will probably lose. His victims were caught by surprise, and had weak quirks, or don't know how to fight with them.
Katsuki would beat him. Just like he is doing right now.
"When will you learn you useless Deku!" Katsuki screamed at him "The only one going to fucking UA is me!"
That made him think. UA is for heroes. Katsuki wants to be a hero. But-
"You can't be a hero."
Katsuki eyes widen in rage "What was that Deku?"
"Heroes help. They don't harm. Heroes protect. They don't terrorize." Izuku glared at Katsuki for the first time "You Katsuki Bakugo, can't be a hero."
Katsuki as an answer made an explosion on his face and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Who the fuck you think you are to decide that!? HUH!? What!? You think you are a better hero than me?!" He demanded and Izuku thought.
"No. I can't be a hero either. But someone who picks on someone weaker, over and over again, isn't fit for that."
Another explosion to the ribs this time and Katsuki dropped him to the floor. "Because weak insects like you make me sick! You were always like-"
"You know what forget it." Izuku interrupted as he stood up "You win."
"Eh?" Katsuki grunted and glared at Izuku who dusted himself of "What do you mean, I win?"
"That I quit. You win. It doesn't matter how I phrase it. If all heroes are like you, I am not interested in becoming one." He said as he sat down and started reading.
Katsuki blinked, before storming away, out of the class.
For the rest of the day, Katsuki left him alone, and by that, the rest of the class left him alone.
Once he left, he passed the same bridge he met the sludge villain. As he walked by, someone grabbed him by behind and pointed a knife to his throat. "Heeeeeey, Deku."
He had the same uniform as he did. Probably a student in another class. "So, I dropping the hero dream, are we?"
"What is it with you?" Izuku answered calmly, something that amused his assailant.
"Not much, just disappointed. It was fun to make you suffer. Now, I had to find other ways." He said pressing the blade to his neck. "You see. My dad is a villain. And I, will follow his steps, and become the greatest villain to ever walk the face of earth! You should feel honored, as my first victim of course." He grinned at the end and Izuku smiled.
"That's all? What a petty motivation."
"Eh?" The grip of the knife tightened "Petty? What the fuck you mean by 'Petty'!?"
Izuku looked him right in the eye with a smile "All villains in movies sound the same. Kill for the family, kill for the rush, kill for the girl. Right now, I can't tell if this is a prank or the real thing."
The assailant grinned "Oh? Then let me show you!" He grabbed his neck and stabbed him on the shoulder making him laugh "See!? It is the real thing you Deku!"
Izuku scoffed "Bad move." From the wound, blood came out and cut the student hand, making it fall to the ground.
The assailant eyes widen in pain and fell. "Wha- How..."
Izuku grabbed him by the neck, lifted him and smiled "Honestly, with that petty motivation, it was impossible for you to get somewhere in life." His grip tightened as his claws grew and made the neck of his victim bleed "Heroes are for fame and glory. Villains are for money and glory." He closed his eyes "Such petty motives."
He closed his hand on his neck, breaking his neck. He dropped the body and licked his fingers. "What a mess." he grabbed the body and threw it inside the sewer and licked his fingers.
"In the end. The best motive is to survive. And to move on."
"Even that, is somewhat trivial in the grand scheme of things."
