A Hero's Journey - Remade - Discontinued

Chapter 15 - Damn Bullies

We pick up a few months after Izuku's birthday.

<Izuku's POV>

I had gained good control of my quirk, but I still wore the gloves because they looked cool, so mom had removed the quirk dampener installed in the gloves when I was in year 3. The gloves didn't have their dampening function anymore and were simply normal gloves. Kids in school didn't know this so they all thought I still couldn't control my quirk.

This gave the 2 bullies a chance to pick on me, but I never gave any attention to it. Kaachan knew about the gloves and would occasionally act like an angry Pomeranian and try to beat the shit out of them but I always held him back. Apart from the occasional name-calling, I receive; school was going to be the same, or that is what I thought till Ms. Tsume announced that we had a new kid in our class. I didn't pay much attention to it because I was too focused on completing Eraserhead's entry in my 10th hero analysis journal.

He was one tough cookie crack, there was literally no interview of him nor were there recordings of his fights I found a few but the quality wasn't that good. The few accounts that were written on him were hard to get. I know I could have asked uncle Toshi and all but that beats the purpose of these books. I kept on writing till Kaachan flicks my forehead. The action startles me and I fall off my bench. The class starts laughing while Kaachan just shakes his head in disappointment muttering something along the lines of 'Idiot' or '

The teacher tells the class to quiet down and then tell the girl to sit on the bench next to me. The day goes by almost normally. The name-calling has completely stopped after the beatdown I gave Gomu and Tsubasa. The day goes by slower than expected. By the time school had ended, I had finished writing the entry on Eraserhead, complete with a sketch and all.

It was Saturday which meant it was arcade day for me and Kaachan. This was a trend we started when an arcade opened near our houses and year ago. We were about to leave school and head to the arcade when crossed a hallway where we saw Gomu and Tsubasa from school picking on the new kid. We decided to intervene since it was the right thing to do.

Kaachan lets a small explosion off that startles the 2 bullies while I rush in to pick the girl up and get some distance between us. I made sure that she was alright as I helped her sit with her back against the wall.

"You okay?" I asked her.

The girl simply nodded, I guess she was a bit shaken up. "Uhhh..... Why don't you hold these? I'll be right back. I have to take care of some turd." I tell her, handing her my gloves. "Keep them safe, for me?" I ask her with a smile. The girls just nod.

"Hey Bakagou what gives, what's got you riled up huh?"

"What gives you 2 shitty people the right to bully the new kid huh. What has she even don't to you?"

"Why does it matter to you Bakagou?" Gomu asked.

"Look, unlike you I want to be a hero and the true essence of a hero is to meddle where they are not supposed to. And the 2 of you bulling round-face, is something me and Deku can't accept. You have 2 options now, either walk away now or face Deku in a fight."

"You know what, we'll take you up on that. It's not like he can lay a hand on us with that weak quirk of his, don't make me laugh." Tsubasa mocked.

'Have these 2 really forgotten what happened a few years ago during class?'

"Alright, you've asked for it so don't go complaining to your mommies when you get hurt. Oi Deku, get your nerdy ass here." I hear Katsuki call out.

"Who are you calling a nerd, ya damn Angry Pomeranian!" I shout back.

"Who are you calling an Angry Pomeranian, ya damn nerd!" He shouts back.
