Izuku Afton

Chapter 2

It was the day before the entrance exams for the hero course students Toshi and Enji. As for me, I was applying for general education classes because I lacked a quirk. Enji and Torshinori were training in the yard, and I sat on the porch, observing and taking notes on how they could improve. Enji had become better at controlling his flames and was trying to make them hotter, slowly turning them blue. Torshinori had also improved, having a similar quirk to Mrs. Shimura, who had been training with him to enhance his strength. It was enjoyable to watch them train together.

After half an hour, Enji sat beside me with a slight blush on his face. "Hey, can you meet me at the park later today?" I smiled and nodded. "Of course, I'll just have to inform Mrs. Shimura where I'm going," I replied. He smiled, grabbed his water, took a drink, and returned to training.

After they finished training, we ate lunch and went our separate ways for the rest of the day. "I'm headed to the park. I'll see you later, Mrs. Shimura!" I said while putting on my shoes. "Okay, Izuku, make sure to bring your phone," she replied from the kitchen. "Will do. I'll be back before dinner!" I closed the door behind me.

As I arrived at the park, I saw Enji waiting for me at the fountain. "Hey, Enji, I'm here!" I shouted happily, running over to him. "Glad you came, Shimura," he said, smiling with a slight blush. "I told you already to call me Izuku. Mrs. Shimura is only my foster mother." I sat beside him and looked into his ice-blue eyes.

"Hey Izuku, we've been friends for a long time now, and I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me?" he asked. I could feel my cheeks getting warm as I replied, "Yes, I would love to." We spent most of our time at the park discussing how we would break the news to Mrs. Shimura and Toshinori, and also throwing rocks into the water.

It has been a few weeks since my partner and I started dating. Our friends had already figured it out without us even telling them. The UA exams were about to commence and although I was nervous, I knew I would do well in my entrance exam. Standing outside, we watched as a crowd of students made their way inside. We separated and went to our respective exams.

Upon entering the room, I quickly found an empty desk and prepared my pencil as the exam pages were handed to me. The exam began with an information page about ourselves, asking for our names, quirks, and reasons for wanting to join UA. This was followed by basic test questions. Trusting my skills and the amount of studying I had done, I felt confident as I answered the questions. Once I finished, I handed in my exam and looked around the room. I was the first one to finish.

The proctor gave us the option to either leave and grab a bite to eat or remain seated and wait patiently until the time was over. I decided to stay and returned to my desk, taking out my notebook to sketch some hero costume designs for Enji and Toshi.

I finished my general education exam and packed up my art supplies. I messaged my friend Enji, telling them that I was going to the nearby cafe and would meet them there when they were done. As I walked out of the building and into town, I heard a familiar voice. Someone from my school was taunting me, calling me a "quirkless loser" and chasing after me with their friends. I tried to outrun them, but they caught up and backed me into a corner. They were angry about something my friends had done to them in the past and wanted revenge. One of them had a paralyzing quirk, another could manipulate air to suffocate their opponent, and the leader had a gas-based quirk. They used their powers to make it hard for me to breathe and knocked the air out of me with a kick to the gut. But I managed to fight back, punching the air manipulator in the face before finally catching my breath again.

"Hey, leave him alone!" I turned around to find Enji and Toshinori coming to my aid. As soon as I was able to move, I grabbed the gas user's ankle and took him down to the ground. He landed awkwardly, and a loud crack was heard from his left arm. The other two attackers fled when they saw their comrade fall. After the ordeal, Toshi asked if I was okay and helped me get up, while Enji chased after the other two. I nodded in confirmation and stood up on my own.

It's been four years since we had gotten accepted into UA graduation was just around the corner. I was on my way to the library to print out my assignment. As I was printing an alarm had gone off "My guess is someone had gotten into the school. I poked my head out into the hall to see if I could see anyone. I regretted it rates away as I was grabbed and pulled into the hall. I see Grantareno standing there with a few students and Nana. I looked at them fear taking over as tears started to flow down my face. " Give me what I want hero's or the lad dies." The villain's voice was low and grumbly as he turned his hand into a blade.

" We won't give anything to you not if it endangers innocent people!" Nana said trying her best to keep calm. " Too bad then, now Nana this one here is in your care right it would be a shame if I killed him in Infront of ya!" Feer is starting to show in her eyes as his bland get closer to me.

"Let the boy go!" Grantareno says activating his quirk. " Fine," was all the villain said moving his blade away from me and punching me toward the heroes. I started moving as a felt something go trow my chest. With his blade, I looked up at Nana with Enji now behind her utter fear and sadness began to show as everything went dark.
