My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk

Ch.19- Round One Disaster

I heard the announcement it would be me and Shoto in the first match. I raced to the prep room as I turned a corner, I saw Shoto cornered by Endeavor. I hugged the wall as I listened to the man rave to Shoto about his purpose. Shoto walked off and the man huffed, I carefully peeled off the wall and strolled past him.

"Put up a fight with Shoto." He ordered, I stopped and turned to glare at him.

"Shoto isn't your pawn, grow a pair and improve yourself," I growled and continued my walk.

Soon I reached the prep area I saw Shoto leaning against the door to his. I leaned next to him and put a hand to his shoulder. He looked to me and I smiled at him, I will save you. A small smile formed on his face as I patted his shoulder.

"Let's give them a show." I chimed, he nodded.

(Later)

We both entered the ring, I walked over and bowed to Shoto and he bowed back. Then we both walked back to our ends, I could hear Auntie count down. The bell rang and I watched as I wave of ice shot forward. I smirked and summoned Tetsusaiga and launched a wind scar with shattered the ice.

"I said we needed to do a show Shoto!" I called; he had a shocked look on his face. "Hit me again!"

I tossed away Tetsusaiga and he regains composure sending out another wave. I summoned Masamune and cut the ice and swung till it lay crumbled. Tossing Masamune aside and made a motion and he launched another assault. This time I created lightsaber the plasma cut through the ice like butter.

"How?" Shoto stated in shock.

"After USJ I spent a lot of time learning how my quirk worked, now I know how to use it. I needed to become stronger so I can protect people, I need to be this strong to save you!" I shouted racing toward him tossing aside the lightsaber.

He raised ice and I summoned power pole extending it through the ice I jumped through the break. Jumping down I swung my foot at Shoto he blocked with ice stumbling further into the ring. I raced forward my chest tightening at the exertion.

He blocked with more ice, but I slide against it swing power pole around and hitting him in the shoulder. I summoned the hoverboard and used it to swerve around behind him and get myself to the centre of the arena. Tossing away the power pole I summoned the sealing wand and a few cards. I quickly activated windy and sent a gust at him.

He was tossed the corner using ice to keep himself inside the arena. I activated the next card, thunder, I sent a bolt and it shattered his ice he dove down. Finally, I activated jump and used it to jump high above the arena. Tossing the wand, I summoned some Mana and the buster sword.

"Meteor!" I screamed, I watched as the word faded and magic meteor rained down on Shoto.

He sent out his ice and was able to fight back all but one that hit him, he lay there as the word returned. He was down but not out, it was mana, it hurt but no physical damage. He scowled as he rose up looking sore. I fell toward the arena and Nimbus caught me taking me back to the corner I began in.

I felt my chest tighten, while training with Nezu I learned the downside of mana. I was created using my own energy and it drained me, with my asthma acting up it was a double-edged sword. I was going to drop soon my head felt foggy and my vision blurred. I summoned a staff and raced toward Shoto, he was able to dodge and flip me out of the ring. As soon as I hit the grass the last of my air was knocked out of me.

"Winner is Todoroki Shoto!" Auntie called, I smiled as I passed out.

(Shoto's POV)

As I caught my breath, I turned to see Yashiro had her eyes closed as she lay on the grass. I began to step toward her, as I got closer, I could hear her raspy breaths. It was just like that day in the cafeteria, her lungs. Quickly I picked her up and held her close, why did she do all this?

"Is she hurt?" a voice called, I nodded.

"I'm taking her to the nurse!" I replied standing up I raced the office Recovery Girl had her.

Yashiro was insane, she fought like that knowing this is what would happen didn't she!? Why?! Why has she been so concerned about me? What did she mean that she had to show me she was strong? She doesn't have to impress me! I was just so happy to have her talk to me and be with me.

"Calm down Todoroki-kun!" A voice chided; I slide to a stop seeing Recovery Girl outside her office door. "She probably worked her lungs too hard. She just needs medicine and rest."

"Okay…" I stated and let her lead me into the office.

Soon the nurse had her all hooked up with a mask as she lay on the bed. I took the chair and pulled it to her bedside and reached out to touch her hand tears welling up. Why does she care so much?! I was just a pawn, just a piece my father wanted to use to defeat All Might. Why do I feel like she is trying to save me?

(Yashiro's POV)

I awoke later I felt a hand on mine, I looked up to see Shoto looking down at me. He had fat tears in his eyes, he was biting his lip. I smiled up at him and turned to hold his hand back. He hunched over my trembling, I guess I pushed myself too hard.

"Why?!" he sobbed, I sat up and patted his head.

"I haven't trained my body enough; I don't have the stamina like you and the others. All I had was my quirk, I was going to lose. But I wanted to show you that I am stronger." I hushed, he looked up at me.

"Why me?!" he sobbed.

"Shoto you're my friend, I care about you. I know you've been going through enough at home, I understand that. We've been through something similar, no one saved me. I want to save you." I hushed; I gently pulled his head to my chest. "If he comes to you while you're alone, message me. I'll save you, I got help, Uncle Might is ready so is Nezu-sensei. Be strong for me, this ends today…"

"Okay…" he replied, I gently kissed the top of his head.

"Alright, you should be fine for now dearie, don't push yourself too hard later." Recovery Girl stated I smiled at her.

"Not going to tell on me," I stated, she smirked.

"I agree with you on your reasons, think those two would be better at taking care of themselves now that they have you. I hope you realise you're going to be in trouble with them for this?" she hummed, I nodded.

"It's worth it. This is what being a hero means to me." I affirmed, she smiled.

"Well you both better settle and head back out, looks like Kirishima will be in here next." She stated, I turned to see he had been paired up with his equivalent.

"Alright, Shoto we need to go back out." I hummed, he pulled back and began to wipe away his tears.

"Here." Recovery Girl stated, I took the handkerchief and helped Shoto clean up his face.

"I'm ready." He stated, I smiled nodding.

"We got this," I replied, he stood up and offered me his hand which I took.

(Later)

I stood in the stands as Shoto and Izuku faced each other, I was worried about them both. Shoto was still hurting, and Izuku had no control over his quirk. As the match began, I saw him use his quirk to shatter Shoto's ice. Please don't do it again, but I sat in shock as he broke two more fingers. I got up and raced out of the stands, that moron!

Is that moron going to use the quirk that was destroying him, why is he like this!? As I got down the stairs, I summoned Nimbus and jumped on racing toward the teacher's booth. I need to talk to Uncle Might, he needs to teach Izuku about his quirk. He can't keep using a quirk, this is gonna end badly.

I hopped off Nimbus and raced up the stairs, I saw the teacher look surprised as I grabbed Yagi by the arm. I quickly lead him down the stairs ignoring his cries. I pulled him onto to Nimbus and raced toward Recovery Girls office. I stopped and I looked out the entryway to see smoke come from the arena area.

"That moron!" I snarled, I watched as he was taken out on a stretcher.

As the robots got closer, I picked up Midoriya and carried him to the nurse's office. Chiyo raced toward us as I laid him on the bed, I spun to glare at Yagi as he closed the door. This is it; I need to deal with this right now.

"I don't know who to be more mad at, Izuku for not listening to my advice or you for giving him a quirk and not teaching him how to use it without becoming a human bomb!" I screamed, I glared daggers at my Uncle as he leaned into the door scared. "He's had this quirk for how long?! Did you even try to train him?!"

"How did you find out?" Uncle stated in shock.

"This is the biggest fucking trope you know; I've watched and read a million stories with this whole successor shit! It's obvious as shit! Everyone else can use their quirks, even I can now but nope Izuku breaks his body every time! That shit ain+'t normal! Be so fucking lucky this is reality cuz at least there is no big evil enemy or some shit!"

"Uh…" Uncle muttered.

"No, don't fucking tell me… There some like arch-enemy shit too! He can't control his quirk and now he just fucking showed it off to the fucking world! Do you tell anyone?! This shit could get Izuku killed! I love you but you are not a teacher Uncle, nor are you fucking immortal perfect being! You can't save everyone all the damn time!"

I felt the anger in me finally boil over as I stood looking over the crumpled man as he was against the door. I could practically hear my own ragged breaths. I felt a hand on my back, I turned to see Chiyo who offered me a cup of water. I sighed and took the water and moved the sit on the bed next to Izuku.

"You know I was going to do my own lecture on you two but, I think she summed it all up pretty well," Chiyo stated, I drank the water and flopped onto my back on the bed.

I laid back and closed my eyes trying to calm myself down as my heart raced, pounding hard in my chest. Today was going to push me to my limits. I heard Chiyo begin to talk and work as I heard movement near me. I sighed and turned to see Uncle in a chair, he had his head bowed low toward me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, sitting up I looked at him.

"You are right…" he answered, I sighed.

"Who knows?" I muttered.

"Nezu, Chiyo, Midoriya, my old mentor, Tsukauchi…" he listed, as I figured Dad does know.

"You're telling at the least my Dad's after this, Izuku needs better training, and you are not qualified to do that alone. Also, I want to know everything, what is at stake? How deep in the shit are we?" I stated.

"The quirk is called One for All, I was the eighth holder, making Midoriya the ninth…" he explained, I nodded. "It was a quirk handed down since the earliest days of quirks. It was birthed when a man names All for One gave his supposed quirk less brother a quirk that let him stockpile is power. This merged with his own quirk that and One for All was created as a quirk that stockpiled power of its user and could be passed down. All for One quirk let him steal and force quirks onto others, with this he collected quirks and has lived many lifetimes… His brother and his successors have been trying to defeat him ever since… He has killed every successor except myself… I defeated him many years ago which is how I sustained my injuries…" he explained, I sighed.

"By defeated you mean he is dead right?" I stated, he nodded. "Are you sure, a man who has lived so long, killed so many. Are you a hundred percent certain he is dead? Even so what about his followers? He must have told people…"

"I-I…" he began, I gently flicked his forehead.

"We have to think that he is still alive, and what just happened, can not, I repeat can not happen again. He or his minions now know Izuku's face and name… I know this must have been something you felt you needed to keep secret but, that ends. This will not be won by one man only. After we settle shit today with Shoto-kun we are having a meeting, I want all the pro-hero staff to know. We need a lot of help to dig us out of this hole…"

"Yes…" he stated, I nodded and walked over and hugged his head to my chest.

"Even the #1 hero needs help, everyone does, don't ever forget to reach out." I shushed; I could feel his trembling form. "I love you, Uncle Toshi…"
