Dead Hero's Heart

Chapter 28

IZUKU'S POV

After Izuku left the group

There wasn't other choice, believe me when I say this. I wanted to have faith in my friends abilities, but I knew that we were going to get outclassed. These people, they are villains and they wouldn't hesitate to do something extreme and unexpected to save themselves. I wasn't willing to just be a bystander as the fall, one after another. Because, who out there could promise me that I would be enough to protect them. I broke the agreement that we have made, but it didnt matter. For me, that action was justified. And, if someone saw it the other way, only Ochako knew that I would be following them, so I wasn't actually a member of their team and so I wasn't a part of the agreement.

I had to go and alert the heroes. No, not all of them. One would be enough. If I was to made what is happening known to all of them, an uproar would be caused, mainly from teachers doubting my existence. I had to chose carefully who I was going to trust with this burden. It had to be someone who would believe me when I make myself know but also be capable of helping my friends.

All Might was a big no. Even though he is my mentor, I cannot put my trust on him for this mission. I am nearly certain that he would believe in me being still here, maybe due to the strange nature of the quirk, even if that is not the reason. But, when the time for him to fight will come, he would be completely useless. He is unable to access his muscle form, the embers inside of him long since been put off. He would serve as nothing more than dead weight.

Next in my list was Nezu, the principal himself. With his high IQ, I am sure that he probably had already figured out about my situation and is trying to find a way to approach me. Though, if he had done any attempt as of lately, I probably haven't even notice them, because of all these things happening. Because of how clever he is, he would be great and strategizing and creating plans for us so we could defeat the villain. But yet, in case it comes to the point where everyone has fallen down, and they are unable to act as instructed, then we cannot count on the pro for protection. He is good at working in the sidelines, not in front. He cannot fight in hand in hand combat very well, and Dabi is more of a distance rage attacker.

And then, there was Eraserhead. My homeroom teacher and probably last choice. There is no chance that any other hero would believe me, as I hadn't come as close to them as with the others. I know, that probably it would be difficult to make him believe in me too, but if I present him facts, then it wouldn't take much more. And also, he will be a good asset at providing help. His quirk, Erasure, will probably come in handy. Stoping the villain's attacks midway can be proven crucial for many of my friends survival. Except from that, his fighting skills are top notch, and even though he is not that much of a distance attacker himself, he makes up for it with his scarf and the multiple ways he can use it. Furthermore, he also had the mind to find different strategies that could be proven helpful to all of us.

In my mind, I had long since decided to who I was going to make myself known. He was the best choice in my opinion, and only possible way to achieve victory or at least get away alive. And that was enough to me. I wasn't going to let any of my friends meet my fate, that was a promise I wasn't willing to break. I grasped at the letter inside my pocket, feeling the paper in my fingers, a silent reassurance that I still had it along with me, and hadn't lost it while luring Hound Dog away.

Now, I was on my way to the teachers dorm building. That's the place where my teacher was staying for the last months. Recently, I learnt that Aizawa was performing secret lessons along with Shinso at the gym, late at night, so he could be prepared to join in the hero course. Since I was no longer there, all the process had probably speed up, since they no longer needed to kick one out and so, they had to hurry up with his physical preparation.
