⚠️TW: INTENSE VIOLENCE

"...Oh come on UA, say something! You look like you've just seen a couple of ghosts." Izuku grinned, crossing his arms.

As the boys stood up at the stage, everyone looked up with miscellaneous glares and stares in horror, shock, and everything in between. Especially since Izuku had so willingly shot a bullet at his former classmate.

Kirishima had been tucked to one of the side walls, getting some medical attention from some of the students that had healing-like quirks. Nothing like Recovery Girl's but enough to make his face stop bleeding. He was pissed. Had his former friend really just fired a bullet at him? What the fuck.

Since everyone didn't feel like they were allowed to leave. They felt like the boys were holding them hostage. Even if that wasn't their intention, it was kind of funny that everyone seemed to think that. Izuku wouldn't admit it, but he craved that kind of power and control.

"Are you so afraid, UA?" Izuku shouted, voice now having to carry over the new alarm blaring over the school area. The boys didn't care, not even trying to move. They were looking at Present Mic, Midnight, and Aizawa.

Aizawa was the one that they kept their eye on. They couldn't look away. Katsuki felt frozen by that glare. He sighed softly and glared back at his teacher, small explosions pulsing from his hands.

"You really— you guys thought I was going to be so amazing." Katsuki croaked, sending an explosion through the crowd, able to aim it with his gauntlet. He sent it right at Aizawa, who jumped out of the way just in time. The flaming ball scarring the wall behind him. Izuku looked back in horror, seeing as trying to kill someone was not part of the original plan. He could tell the emotion in Katsuki's voice. He probably wasn't very much in control of his emotions at the moment. Especially being back at the school. Back on campus. It most likely brought back tough memories.

"You thought I was gonna be a fuckin' God. I was gonna be number one. I was gonna surpass all of you!" Katsuki shouted again, blindly sending an explosion into the crowd. Izuku watched idly, eyes following the explosion. He wasn't killing anybody... which was a bonus. He was barely doing any damage. The explosions were weak. Was he holding back?

"Then you made me a fool. You made me look like a goddamn idiot! I never belonged with you fucks. I have always been better than all of you. I don't need UA. I didn't need UA! You fuckers needed me! But you made me look like a joke! Because that's what you do. That's what heroes do. You only pretend to be good. You only pretend to do what's right. But really, you heroes would sacrifice your loved ones in an instant if it meant you would save your own asses. Don't even try to fuckin' deny it!" He shouted again. He tried to send out another explosion in his fit of anger but he found it impossible to do so. He chuckled into the mic and locked eyes with his former teachers.

That red glare looking into his own crimson eyes. How could he forgot. The perfect hero, Eraserhead. He was locking his quirk. Trying to protect himself. Because he knew that next explosion was going right his way again. And he knew Katsuki wasn't going to miss. Bastard. Smart bastard.

"Us, Deku and I, we'd sacrifice every single one of you for the sake of this stupid world. Actually— no. I'd sacrifice all of you idiots if it meant this damn world would come to an end! You're all meaningless extras! You don't mean anything! And you didn't mean anything then either!"

Izuku nodded firmly, deciding to interject. He cleared his throat and gripped his mic again.

"Dynamight's right. You are all selfish. We're selfless. Heroes only want to show the public that they're good. But they don't actually show they're good. I mean, come on. Look at the current number one hero, Endeavor. And then take a look at Todoroki. In fact, take a look at all of the Todoroki's. Notice how ones missing? One Touya Todoroki? Well, I won't spoil the secret, but you heroes are even worse than I could ever imagine." Izuku grimaced, pacing the stage as he talked. "The villains we have been hanging around are more than just an organization. We are all like some shitty little family. Pushed aside by society for reasons you can't even imagine. Abuse, despair, poverty, discouragement. We all have reasons we end up like we do. We've all been abandoned from the likes of you people."
