Chapter 19: What Makes a Villain
Izuku was having fun… sure he was being made to it… and it was kind of awkward with the puppet, but he was still having fun. It was clear that though Ochaco was nervous, she was having fun with him.
Though there was still something covering, not for Izuku, but for Katsuki as he talked with Ojiro.
"This fucked up…" muttered Katsuki in a room that was designated a waiting room.
"I know…" sighed Ojiro, "You think you cannot say anything?"
"I can just blow him up…" said Katsuki.
"Fair enough…" said Ojiro.
"You didn't say anything to him about Cipher?" asked Katsuki.
"I have no idea…" said Ojiro, "And If I did I know nothing about what he said to Midoriya. So if I did it wouldn't have helped."
Katsuki sighed.
"Great…" muttered Katsuki.
"How is Midoriya?" asked Ojiro.
"He's finally gotten out of it… All Might talked to him… honestly should have known he'd be the one to get him out it." Muttered Katsuki.
Ojiro nodded, like the rest of the class he was worried about Izuku.
After reactional games, it was time for the matches.
In the Class 1-A box almost the entire class was there. Expect for Katsuki, Kirishima and Tenya who were all prepping for their matches.
Meanwhile Cementoss was creating the fighting area using his quirk to do so. Along with acting as a judge to see if they're using lethal force.
"All right!" called to Present Mic, "Here are the rules of the match. The way to win is to either have your opponent go out of bounds, knock them out, immobilize them or make them say uncle! OF course lethal force isn't allowed! But that's what Cementoss is for!"
Cementoss even made a chair for himself as he judge if was using lethal force.
"All right! It's time for the first year matches!" yelled Present Mic, "Let's see which student will come out on top this year! First off is the explosive hot head of Class 1-A VS the underdog of General Studies Hitoshi Shinso!"
The two looked at each other. With Katsuki glaring harshly and Shinso just staring back.
"Let the match begin!" yelled Present Mic.
Katsuki glared at him trying to keep his mouth shut.
In class 1-A's body they talked about the match.
"So… if Kacchan's respond to him he'll be under the effects of his quirk." Said Izuku as Ojiro had explained it to everyone.
"So if he keep his mouth shut for once then he'll win." Said Mabel.
Everyone weren't sure what was going to happen.
Because they knew it was very hard to keep his mouth shut.
Back on the battlefield it began.
"You know it must be so nice to be obsessed with a powerful quirk… everyone must praise you." Said Shinso.
Katsuki walked towards him slowly to show that meant business.
Shinso scowled as he didn't take the bait.
Then he remember something.
"You know… I don't know what I said that reminded you have a villain but I have no intentions of ever being one." Said Shinso, "But still your little puppet friend must be pathetic if the words of a villain are getting to him that badly! I had that monkey and sparkly guy tell me everything they could… how they don't have the whole story but whatever I said made him give up on being a hero…"
With a wordless scream Katsuki unleashed a gigantic explosion on him.
Shinso was barely able to recover from his when Katsuki socked him in the face.
He couldn't say anything so he tried his hardest to keep his mouth shut.
He let loose another explosion that sent Shinso out of bounds.
"Hitoshi Shinso is out of bounds!" called out Midnight.
And Katsuki breathed a sigh of relief before screaming.
In the Class 1-A box they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well he learned to keep his mouth shut." Said Kaminari.
"Yeah…" sighed Izuku.
"Hey I'm sure he's fine…" said Mabel.
"He did blow up a lot." Said Dipper.
In the announcer's box, Aizawa was eyeing Shinso's file. Of course it discussed his quirk which he wasn't able to show off in the fight, but still he was impressed with him.
Meanwhile Katsuki was gritting his teeth, he didn't know where he was walking. He screamed and then headed towards the nurse's office that was set up.
"That bastard!" yelled Katsuki.
He didn't know why he wanted to talk to him but he knew he had to.
Meanwhile the next match was all ready to begin.
"All right it's time for the next match! It's the rock solid member of Class 1-A Eijiro Kirishima VS. the Steal Hard member of Class 1-B Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu!" called out Present Mic.
And soon enough the match got started…
And it would be a rather… interesting one…
Back in the nurse's office Shinso was conscious, but it was clear he did get injured pretty badly.
That was when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." said Recovery Girl.
It was Katsuki.
"What brings you in?" asked Recovery Girl.
"I want to talk to him…" muttered Katsuki.
Shinso scowled, "Fine…" he muttered.
Katsuki walked over to his bed.
"What do you want?" asked Shinso.
"Fuck…" he muttered, "I don't know why but I think you should know why we hate you!"
Shinso scowled.
"I've been treated like a villain because of my quirk." Said Shinso.
"Yeah… but it wasn't your quirk… I didn't even know what your quirk was until today." Muttered Katsuki.
Shinso scowled.
"The monkey said something about me reminding you of a villain…" muttered Shinso.
"You have no idea." Said Katsuki, "Deku got attack by a villain more than a year ago… his body was literally stolen, the bastard ripped his soul out of his body and the only way he could communicate is with puppets. Unless he has a puppet or a robot to possess he's just a soul that can't interact with anything."
"I thought that a was a quirk." Said Shinso.
"Nope… a villain fucking stole his body and he can't talk to us unless he has one of his puppets." Muttered Katsuki, "He's also Qurikless."
"What?" asked Shinso.
"Well right now he has powers, but when he gets his body back he's going to lose those powers." Said Katsuki, "What's worse is that villain was part of the attack, he had something that beat all of us… and then he told Deku that once his body back they're going to kick him out of the hero program."
Shinso's eyes widened…
What Izuku had said when he tried to make his declaration… he was going to say something but Katsuki interrupted something.
He realized what Izuku was probably going to say…
That he was going to get kicked out.
"He was pretty depressed, dropped out of the Sports Festival because it got to him… but you… you made it worse." Muttered Katsuki, "He decided the best way to handle that villain was to kill his body!"
"What!" yelled Shinso in shock, "I almost made him kill himself?"
Katsuki froze in shock about that.
"No…" said Recovery Girl joining the conversion, "If his body dies without him in it, then he'll be fine… but he'll be in the state he is forever…"
Katsuki managed to regain himself.
"He felt he'd rather keep the powers he got from it, despite the fact that he can't ever eat or really touch anyone ever again… Not to mention forever trapped wearing our crappy middle school uniform for all eternity because that's what he's wearing as a soul." Said Katsuki.
"What did you go to that school that was shut down because they broke the anti-bullying laws?" Shinso muttered sarcastically.
Katsuki grunted at this.
"I was just joking…" muttered Shinso.
"Thankfully All Might set him straight with a pep talk earlier today." Muttered Katsuki, "But everyone was worried about him, the idiot kept saying he was fine, but we saw through it."
Shinso looked down.
"All my life everyone told me how great my quirk was… how awesome I'd be a hero… but I made Deku's life a living hell!" muttered Katsuki, "If I hadn't made fun of him, beaten him, brought him to his lowest point none of this would have happened… he wouldn't have been tricked by that villain…"
"What?" asked Shinso.
"It's not our quirk that makes us villains, it's what we do with it." Muttered Katsuki, "The main reason why Deku's even here isn't because he beat the villains. He's here because he saved a girl from that giant robot. That's something they don't tell you… you can get points by saving people during the test…"
"You're serious." Said Shinso.
"I would have gotten first place if that wasn't the case." Muttered Katsuki.
Shinso looked at Katsuki.
"You know there's still a chance that I might be able to transfer over depending on the results." Said Shinso.
"If it ends up being Deku who get kicked out expect to be hated." Muttered Katsuki, "Everyone in class seems to like him."
"What if it's someone else?" asked Shinso.
"Eh… probably deserved it…" said Katsuki.
Shinso snorted when he said that.
"I'm sure there's plenty of ways you can be a hero with your quirk…" muttered Katsuki, "Just like mine is suited for being a villain."
With that he left the nurse's office.
Once he was far away from the nurses off, he suddenly yelled out "FUCK!" at the top of his lungs.
He literally blew up, tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Damn it…" he muttered, "I didn't even realized that fucking thing…"
He hadn't realized it until that point… but the fact that Izuku wanted to kill himself was in a way committing suicide.
Meanwhile in the Class 1-A box they watched the match.
It was cellar that the two were evenly match… like perfectly evenly matched… like blow to blow perfectly matched…
"This is really weird…" said Ochaco earning quite a few nod from her classmates.
"Hey Dipper!" said Mabel.
"What?" asked Dipper.
"(Perfectly symmetrical violence never solves anything!)" said Mabel.
Dipper covered his mouth and started laughing hysterically.
Everyone stared at the spirit twins.
"Reference to a pre-quirk tv show." Said Mabel.
That was when Katsuki finally returned.
The entire class noticed he looked miserable.
"Kacchan are you okay?" asked Izuku.
"I'm fine…" said Katsuki.
Everyone in the box looked at him.
"Seriously?" asked Jiro.
"Not again…" groaned Sato.
"Fuck!" muttered Katsuki realizing the same thing as everyone else.
He sat down next to Izuku.
"Deku we'll talk later." Muttered Katsuki.
"Okay…" said Izuku knowing that was why he was so down.
"Wait… is this match still going on?" asked Katsuki.
"It is…" said Mabel.
"I wonder… if their related." Said Shoto.
"It could be something else…" said Dipper.
"Can you please not do this right now?" asked Mabel.
And that was when there was a final blow.
And the two knocked each other out.
"IT's a draw! We'll settle it later with an arm wrestling match or something…" said Midnight.
"It's just like you said Mabel…" said Dipper.
Mabel started laughing.
Katsuki looked at the two.
"Inside joke." Said Dipper.
"That's apparently a reference to a pre-quirk tv show…" said Ochaco.
Once the two were carted off.
After a break between the games it was time for the next match.
Tenya and Hatsume stepped on the battlefield.
With Tenya decked out in some support gear.
"Its Class 1-A's resident speedster Tenya Iida VS the Support Course's resident genius Mei Hatsume!"
In the Class 1-A box Dipper, Mabel, Izuku and Katsuki all got a feeling from this.
"Does anyone else have a weird feeling about all this?" asked Izuku.
"No why?" asked Ochaco.
"I'm getting the feeling." Said Katsuki.
"Same." Said Mabel with Dipper nodding.
Meanwhile in the teachers box Ford got the same annoying feeling.
They watched as Tenya explained that Hatsume gave him the support gear and midnight allowed it because of the sprit god sportsmanship.
Turned out it was all a trick.
Because as soon as the match started, Hatsume had a microphone and hijacked the area's speaker's so she could advertise the support she created.
And that was when they all realized the feeling was.
"Of fucking course!" yelled Katsuki.
"That's why…" sighed Izuku.
"You two hung out with Stan enough to know…" said Dipper.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"Seriously…" muttered Katsuki.
"Why… what's going on?" asked Ochaco.
"Oh we all felt that she was going to con him…" said Mabel, "I think we didn't expect him to be a rube that we didn't figure it out."
Almost everyone but the members of Team Zodiac stared at Mabel confused.
"So… spending time with a professional conman…" mumbled Mezo.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"Great…" muttered Katsuki.
Meanwhile Ford was watching the match.
"Stanley…" he sent out a message, "Are you watching this?"
"Sure am! That girl's a natural." Stan said back.
"You're not going to take her under your wing?" asked Ford.
"Of course not!" said Stan.
Ford breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's nothing to teach." Responded Stan, "She's clearly a natural sales person… and she knows to con them rubes! Which I never expected that kid to be one… but there you go!"
Ford pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Plus unlike Stan she's also inventor… so she doesn't need to sell shoddy products." Added Dipper as he and Mabel were always part of the telepathic conversations.
"Oh come on!" said Stan.
"She's like if someone made it so that Grunkle Stan and Fiddleford had a baby!" brought up Mabel.
All the other Pines cringed.
"Never bring up that image again!" said Stan.
"We didn't need to think about that Mabel…" said Ford.
"Never say that again…" said Dipper.
"I regret nothing!" cackled Mabel.
"Please tell me Stan isn't going to take her under his wing." Said Power Loader noticing Ford's face.
"No… thankfully he feels like he can't teach her anything." Said Ford as it clear that the conversation was clearly over, "Also just got a mental image I didn't want to see…"
In Class 1-A's box they watched over the next 10 minutes Hatsume used Tenya as a guinea pig for all her products before she stepped out of bounds.
"I HATE YOU!" yelled Tenya as he was declared the winner.
"Yeah… don't care." Said Hatsume.
"So…" said Ochaco.
"No… don't congratulate him when he gets back… it would probably hurt his pride more." said Dipper.
And with that the first three matches were over for the first round of the tournament.
With Class 1-A having 2 wins and one draw things were looking good for their class.
Though it was clear that Katsuki was now the one dealing with problems.
And Tenya would probably not want to talk about his "win".
But other than that things seemed to be going well for the class.
Next Time: It's more matches this time it's Kaminari VS Shiozaki... also it's Ochaco VS. Mezo! which member of Team Zodiac will come out on top. Find out next time!
A/N: Don't worry... the whole "Katsuki is now the depressed one" won't last very long, not sure which point I'm going to do it... but it will be over before the arc is... don't worry.
Also I'm saying it now... I've been waiting since I started writing MHA fanfics to use that Futurama reference in relation to the Kirishima VS Tetsutetsu fight... No really I've bene to make for a long time and I've been trying to figure out how to work into a fanfic... because that quote sums up that fight! I'm so happy I was finally able to use it... so yeah..
