The week before the entrance exam files by pretty quick, thanks to the detective I avoided being published in the news. No one remembers my face wither so I can walk around town freely, I walk down a familiar street and stop. I turn and face the alleyway where I had met Shigaraki. This is where I made the most important decision of my life. Curious I step forward and than jerk as I hear footsteps behind me. I startle and rush into the shadows as a figure steps out. My eyes widen, the familiar arrogant gait. The scowl filled with scorn, the world dissolves and all I can see is him. I want him to suffer. I bite down hard on my cheek, I can't ruin it here. I'll blow the whole plan.

"There was someone here…"

He muses out, I grit my teeth until they ache. How I want to crush him… I shake my head. I'll bide my time. But first… I'll remind him who I am. So that he will never forget me.

"Ahh~ Someone Familiar came."

He jolts back at the sound of my voice, I rush forward faster than I'd have liked to. Controlling my quirk when in angry is hard, lightning sparks around me bouncing off the wall. He gapes, it's the first time I've seen something non hostile on his face. It sickens me.

"Midoriya!?"

I scoff, he's even dropping the nickname. I can't help myself. A laugh barks out before I can stop it.

"Haah? You've got it all wrong. I go by Deku now. After all I can't do anything can I?"

In an instant I'm behind him, lightning trailing behind me. I lean in close, my breath hot on his neck.

"Right Kacchan?"

Before he can turn around I'm gone. I stumble to my knees on the rooftop, hyperventilating. Something aches inside me, this isn't me… This isn't right. I'm not… Bile rises in my throat, I sit forward as I gag. I breath heavy as I stare at the floor, I don't want to lose myself. I don't want them to take away who I am, the heroes controlling me in yet another way. I squeeze the fabric of my shirt and try to compose myself, I can control myself and get revenge in my own way. I don't need to hurt anyone, I just need to come out on top. I cling to that thought as I head home, I don't see Kacchan again until the entrance exam.

I yawn as I tug on my coat

"Good luck Izuku! I believe in you!"

The image of her apologising to my younger self pops into my head. I turn away quickly, people lie too easily. Her smile falters a little

"Yeah… Thanks mum I'll do my best."

I quickly pull the door shut behind me and step quietly along the pavement, today will test my strengths and limits. I already know there's no way I can fail, but I do have an ulterior goal. Today is my first chance to upstage Kacchan and humiliate him, I feel the corner of my lips tug up.

I feel a sense of deja vu as I stand looking at the looming building of UA. It no longer holds the sense of awe I usually feel when looking at It. Suddenly someone crashes into me from behind, I stumble forward by manage to stay standing. A body flies toward beside me, I quickly reach out and grab their hand. A girl lets out a relieved breath as I pull her up, her eyes are large and brown, frame by her chestnut hair. She smiles embarrassed, her cheeks coloring

"T-Thanks. I'm such a clutz sometimes haha…"

I smile awkwardly,

"Its okay, it would be bad luck if you fell anyway."

I assure her, she gives me a beaming grin

"I couldn't agree more. I'm Ururaka Ochako.

"Izuku Midoriya."

The words feel strange in my mouth, foreign and wrong. I swallow my disgust as we head inside. She ends up sitting next to me in the large auditorium, the stage lights up and a loud booming voice fills the air. Present Mic… The ability to produce extraordinarily loud sound waves that can disable any target in his vicinity. I frown as imagine fighting him, what his weaknesses would be, how I would win. In my imaginings I end up missing most of the speech and snap out of it when a roar of "Plus Ultra!" Fills the room.

We file out again and are given a standard uniform, easy to move in and light. I stretch my arm and prepare myself, I glance over at the crowd, my eyes falling on Kacchan. He stares at me with eyes burning, I smirk. His hands start to smoke, I chuckle. That temper will be the death of him. From what I know the entrance exam consists of disarming robots and gaining points, easy really. I glance up at the door as it slowly opens. Kacchan rushes in first using his hands to propel himself forward, I smile, this ought to be fun.
