Chapter 2:Regret and Motivation

As I slowly woke up I realized that I was somewhere other than home which caused me to look around in a panic. "Easy there little one" a woman's voice called which startled me and caused me to take a defensive stance. This however had the opposite effect I wanted as it caused the women to laugh instead of being intimidated which made me blush angrily. "My my you sure are tough and at such a young age too" the woman said as I looked at her. I noticed she was a doctor or nurse of some kind which made me calm down and realize that I was in a hospital. "What happened, am I okay? And what about my parents? Are they okay? They must be worried sick about me." This caused the woman to stop her laughter and take a more serious look "You were stabbed in the chest and hurt badly however due to my quirk you are fully recovered." This made me sigh with relief that I was okay but what worried me was that she didn't mention my parents "And my parents?" The doctor's face then looked somber as she said "We did everything we could but unfortunately they didn't make it" this made me look at her like some sort of insane person as I said "No that's impossible how did they not make it I - I beat the villain didn't I?" This made the doctor even sadder as she asked "How did you beat the villain?" I then told her about my quirk and how it works and everything that happened. "Seems to me that you did everything in your power to protect them and I'm sure they would be proud of you." While this did cheer me up a little bit I still felt immense regret that I didn't save them however this was also motivation for me to become a pro hero and maybe if I try hard enough I might be number 1.

*Timeskip 4 years*

I've been busy these past four years of my life as I have trained my absolute hardest that I can to become a hero. I started learning martial arts to help complement my strength boosts and also started doing body training but not too much as I have heard that can stunt your growth but I feel that now is an appropriate time to add weight training. If I want to be a hero I need an iconic weapon that will cause both heroes and villains to recognize me and I think the kanabo which is basically a metal spiked bat that samurai used would be perfect as it's cool, practical and intimidating. While having one would be cool, the lady at the orphanage wouldn't let me buy one so I'll have to wait until I'm 14 and move out. I have also started actual school and not going to a daycare like before and my studies are going well as a good hero needs to be both strong and smart. I have been hearing these rumors lately of a kid in a nearby school around my age having an explosion quirk and being able to be kids older than him and I have been wondering if those are myths or if the guy is real. Maybe I could meet him someday?

*Timeskip 6 years later*

I have been training harder than ever now that I'm finally bigger and moved out of the orphanage. While it's hard working a job while studying and training I'll manage it as my grades haven't slipped and I'm stronger than ever. I was also able to get the kanabo I wanted as a kid by making it with materials that I bought by saving some money from work. It's a little crude I admit but it works like a charm and I've been practicing using it on test dummies at a local gym. The kid I talked about earlier on is named Katsuki Bakugou and to be honest he's kind of a douche as he yells a lot and gets in fights with kids from both his school and mine. He's being hyped up as this big hotshot and future hero but to be frank I think I could beat him in a fight because as powerful as his explosions are they only make me stronger. I have a hero costume designed already as it fits the intimidating vibe I'm going for as I want villains to be scared of me just as I was scared of them as a child. And the final thing is the one I'm most excited about is I've created two special techniques. I haven't used them outside of training but I know they work and that they will be very helpful in the future alongside fulfilling a childhood dream of mine.

*Present Day/2 Months later*

School went normally today except for the teacher handing out these career aptitude tests and once that was over announced to the entire class that I wanted to go to U.A which I was trying to keep secret. My classmates were shell shocked and bombarded me with questions such as "Since when did you want to be a hero" or "I didn't even know you had a quirk much less wanting to be a hero" . It was quite annoying to be honest. As I was walking to my apartment however something interesting happened as there was an explosion nearby. Me being me I went over to see if I could do anything to help but as I got there pro heroes were just standing there while the Bakugou kid I mentioned was being attacked by some sludge thing. Just as I was about to help a scrawny green haired kid ran past everybody to try and help the kid and even managed to buy a couple seconds. Then out of nowhere All Might appeared and hit the villain so hard that it started raining which caused everyone to stare at him in awe. But before the press could get him he ran away faster than the eye can see and into the wind he went. Seeing that the situation was handled I walked over to the green haired kid after he got chewed out by the pro heroes and decided to try and talk to him. "Hey there" I said casually which caused the kid to jump a little bit before turning to me " O-oh hello there I assume you're here to scold me about my reckless behavior too?" Which caused me to shake my head and say "Nah just here to say that I was impressed with your heroic actions despite you obviously not being that good of a fighter." This statement seemed to both cheer up and confuse him as he looked at me weirdly "Thanks for the compliment I think?" "No problem if you train hard you could be a good hero in my opinion." This seemed to catch him off guard as if he had never had a compliment in his life before."Anyways I need to get home so see ya." And with that I left and headed home for the day but little did I know that not only was I talking to a future classmate but a future symbol of peace.

AN: So still around? If so then thanks for sticking around and I hope you like the chapter and for future reference I'll try to make chapters around 1k words long or maybe 2k-3k if it's possible. I'll update whenever I can since I don't really have a set schedule planned but I won't abandon the story abruptly if I have to. I'll give you guys a head's up but other than that thanks for reading!
