Bakugo was panicking. Izuku had a healing quirk. Auntie Inko had told him, and she had been telling the truth. Then how did Izuku caress a tree branch and have it shrivel to dust? He was scared now. He had been coralling Izuku into the role of his sidekick, what if he came after him for revenge? He had been supportive in Izuku's mad science experiments. He had been a good listener, and a good friend, right? It was time to put it to the test, here he comes.
"Kacchan, I found out my real quirk, I mean what healing quirk suspends disgust and pain, right?"
"Y-yeah, Izu what is your real quirk, huh?" bakugo was putting up a front of confidence, but inwardly he was trembling.
"Please don't tell mom about this, but It's called plague. I can create any type of infection I want, viral, bacterial, fungal. I can also change what it does, like, it can heal, hurt, kill, render unconscious, hell, it can create hormones to cause artificial emotions."
Now bakugo was scared. That quirk had basically limitless potential.
"A-are you still going to be my sidekick?"
"Oh, yeah, I am more a support guy anyway, but I already got my support diploma and licence at the ketsubutsu online course.I plan to go into the hero course so I can help you better. I'm also working on my doctorate in medical science online."
Katsuki breathed out, relieved that his friend wasn't going to murder him.
"Th-thanks, Izu. what do you think the extras are going to do today. I mean, it doesn't matter, you are just here as a courtesy, but like, what do you think the extras are learning today?"
"If I remember right, I think that the curriculum says that today is trigonometry and the reveal of our high school applications. I am going for the UA hero course so I am double qualified. I plan to be a hero more geared toward support and underground heroics. The limelight isn't for me, unlike you, mr living firework." he poked Bakugo in the ribs. Bakugo laughed, rubbing his chest.
As the teacher came in for the last period of the day, he was hauling a large stack of papers. He then hefted them onto his desk and loudly proclaimed "today is the day that I give you the test for your career, or I would, if I didn't know that you were all trying for the hero course."
The entire class cheered, save a few. Izuku, Bakugo, a few others who were more introverted, and the less than amused teacher.
"Alright, alright, enough of that out of you. Bakgou, You were trying for the UA hero course, correct?"
At that the class devolved into uneasy murmurs consisting mainly of sceptical comments and some voices of confidence that bakugou would qualify.
"Hell yeah teach, I'll blow their test straight out of the water. Those shitty extras won't know what hit them, I'll rise through the school and rise victorious, the very best, the no. 1 hero!"
His voice had kept getting louder through his entire speech.
The teacher coughed into his hand and consulted his paper again.
"Sure Bakugo. Ah Midoriya, you planned to do the same, correct? With a healing quirk, It won't be hard to make it through the course if you pass the entrance exam."
Midoriya sat up, nearly asleep from the day of reviewing material that he'd already known.
"Mmm, yeah. Not aiming for the top like bakugou does, but I will help people any way I can."
The teacher nodded. Beyond quirks, he liked Midoriya more than Bakugo, as Midoriya was to the point and quieter than Bakugo.
As class let out, the friends descended the stairs together, chatting about nothing of consequensce when Midoriya remembered that his Mother had needed him to pick up some groceries on the way home. He bid Kacchan goodbye, and bolted down a side alley under a bridge. He paid no mind to the light burbling noise coming from the grate, until a tendril of slime wrapped around his ankle. He looked down in interest, and quickly attempted to pull away from the gooey appendage, only for him to trip and fall to the ground.
"A medium sized skinsuit, perfect. I need to hide from HIM, you're my hero, kid."
The sludge wrapped around Izuku, he studied it with a clinical eye. He then touched it with one finger and sniffed it. Methane, excrament, ammonia, seemed to be a clear gelatin-like substance dragged through the sewers.
"Don't worry kid, It''ll only hurt for about 45 seconds." The kid in question looked at the sludge villian and replied, cool as a cucumber "I would say the same to you." and willed a bacteria into existence. One that absorbed liquid and, now that it was in a damn near perfect environment, began to divide at an absurd rate. After about 45 seconds, the sludge villain was naught more than a tiny blob with suspended eyes and teeth.
"What the hell kid, I didn't think that anybody could be worse than All Might but-
Suddenly the ground began to tremble and a large figure leaped from the sewer grate, blowing it out of its receptacle.
"I AM HERE!"
