Chapter 0:Bravery

In a unkown school two boys stand face to face to each other one is shielding a crying boy on his knees while the other is accompanied by 2 boys

"why are you being so mean...you're hurting him kacchan and-and if you don't stop...then I will stop you myself"

The blond haired boy simply smiled at his friend's pathetic declaration

"heh are you really trying to play a hero?Oh I get it you're trying to show off your quirk aren't you?Jeez deku you didn't have to go that far to show us that you are the perfect punching bag."

Suddenly one of the boys behind him sprouted demon like wings from his back while the other's finger started growing like they were tree branches...but none of those changes could be compared to the loud and bright explosions coming out of the blonde's kid's hands

"come on guys,lets help useless deku here use his quirk"

Just as he finished his sentence all 3 boys ran towards the currently trembling kid trying to stand up to them.They expected a quick victory,after all they were just going to make sure that the little nerd knew his place for daring to try to rise up against them...by making him fall over and over again till he no longer could get up.

But it never happened,no matter how many times they hit him,threw explosions at him, and even flew him as high as the fat demonic kid could go before dropping him(not that high but enough for him to get bruises),the injuries they inflicted upon him seemed to dissapear in mere seconds...but they could tell that the pain was still there and they were going to use that fact to satisfy the anger of not being able to truly hurt him.

And then after 10 mins of seemingly endless bullying something happened...something that none of the 3 kids currently ganging up on the culprit of the action expected,hell maybe even the one responsable for it didn't expect it...He fought back,he threw a somewhat awkward punch that landed on the face of the tall fingered kid,the one they deemed as a useless pebble following them around suddenly shot up and hit them right in the face,but to add salt to injury he's planning to continue!

Now,the one sided beating that was occuring suddenly turned in to a battle of endurance,with his new found confidence the crying boy started throwing punch after punch while adding the occasional kick to the list.

The fat kid fell first,not really suprising considering the "fat" part,and then the kid with branches for fingers was second he got tired after trying to trap the green haired kid in his fingers only for him to struggle his way through them and then chase him around like an angry dog.

Finally,the end is now here and just like the beginning they were face to face to each other again this time both of them are tired and covered in bruises though for one of them its mostly just dirt and ash from the explosion,they try to catch their breath until the blond haired boy who seems to be trying to hold back tears while still trying to understand how and why he is losing to the useless deku infront of him spoke first.

"Damn it deku...why did you have to get in my way...did you finally decide to stop looking down on me and instead meet me head on"at this the green haired kid made a confused face"you were supposed to be nothing...just another stepping stone in my inevitable path of being the best(damn this kid got those fancy words)SO WHY?WHY ARE YOU SO ADAMANT ON FOLLOWING ME JUST TO GET IN MY WAY?YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE A HERO HUH?YOU CAN'T BE A HERO SO YOU'RE TRYING TO DRAG ME DOWN WITH YOU AREN'T YOU?"

Suddenly his "friend" who had his fists raised up put them down and shouted while crying

"NO!I..I want both of us to be a hero...because I..l look up to you!You're an amazing person with an amazing flashy quirk that will surely make you a great hero...but..."

steeling himself he opened his mouth still not believing he is going to say the words about to come out from his mouth(this sentence is weird)

"RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST A BIG BIG JERK AND IF I HAVE TO GET IN YOUR WAY TO MAKE YOU REALISE YOU ARE WRONG THEN I WILL BECAUSE THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO...NOT AS A HERO...BUT AS A FRIEND!"

At this the explosive boy had an expression of pure shock before he started grinding his teeth out of pure anger and then running while screaming towards the first person who reprimanded him on his ways who responded in the same way

who do you think you are to tell ME that i am wrong...you're just a useless deku...you're somebody who I am better than in everyway...everyone knows that even you! ...so why...why do i consider you superior to m-

He didn't have time to finish as the object of his thoughts pushed through his explosion and landed a fist right into his face knocking him out.

Now left alone,the little boy known as Izuku Midoriya stared down at the product of his work while seeming deep in thought...until he got snapped back into reality by the shouting of one the kindergarden teachers,now realising the trouble he is in he makes a somewhat funny face with his mouth openwide and his eyes looking like they were made by a pixel art artist.

Safe to say both boys got a pretty good scolding once they got back home.
