Invisible

Chapter 9

Bakugo was in his dorm room wondering what the vigilante meant. His words echoed through his mind 'you haven't changed at all' his mind was swirling with confusion and curiosity. He was frustrated yet at ease, angry yet calm, but most of all he was worried. 'Now that I think about it, he acts a lot like deku.' He thought as he remembered him taking notes on their quirks.

Ever since their last meeting, bakugo has felt nothing but guilt. He had never seen deku after that day and he never got the chance to apologize. Only after that day did he realize what he was truly doing to his childhood friend. However knowing that there was someone who acted like izuku made him feel at ease. To this day bakugo thinks he jumped and he has felt terrible ever since. He felt some familiarity with the vigilante and felt like he was one piece away from solving the puzzle.

"Hey Izuku...I don't know if you are listening to me but...if you are...I'm..." he began to tear up "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I was such a bad friend and I wish I never told you to jump. So if you are listening, I will never achieve my dream, I will achieve yours. If I never told you to jump I wonder if you and I could have joined U.A. together. If you hate me, I understand but just know that you were the best friend who I have ever had." He began to cry. Little did he know that Izuku was listening. He was in the next room over and he could not believe what he just heard. He was both sad for bakugo, and furious beyond measure. 'Friend? FRIEND?! YOU WERE NEVER MY FRIEND, FROM THE MOMENT I GOT MY QUIRK, YOU WERE MY WORST NIGHTMARE! I DIED ON THE DAY YOU TOLD ME TO JUMP AND YOU BRING IT UP LIKE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SUFFERED! YOU COULD NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LOSE EVERYONE IN YOUR LIFE AND FEEL ALONE!' He was furious and he just wanted to run into bakugo's room and destroy him. His face was red, his eyes were bloodshot and his pillow was covered in tears.

The next morning he woke up and got ready in his usual outfit. He had everyone sit in the common area and he decided to give them a project. "So hello everyone, thank you for coming." He said as he smiled. "Anyway, I have not been totally honest with you. My name is not sokudo." He began to walk away as the whole class yelled. "WAIT THAT'S IT?!" They all yelled.

"No of course not. Today will be the start of your quirkless combat exam." He said "quirkless combat is not all about fighting, it is about analysis, and information gathering. The reason I never taught you anything about gathering intel, was in preparation for this. You will all use your own analytical skills in order to find out my real name. The only requirement is that you find my first name and you will get a bonus point if you discover my last name." He said "you may use any resources necessary and within legal means at your disposal. Every teacher and the principal knows my name. You are not allowed to ask them anything. I have given you many hints as to my true identity and your task over the next few days will be to find my name. I have cleared it with nezu and he has agreed to postpone your classes for the next week. I will answer any questions you have and give you more hints along the way." He explained the assignment and the rules as everyone looked awe struck. He has no identity other than being a vigilante and working at U.A. How are they supposed to find the name of someone who practically didn't exist a year ago.

In about 5 minutes everyone was scrambling to find the answer. "Yay this sounds like fun!" Some people cheered. "What hints could he have given us?" A few people thought as izuku smiled maniacally. "Here is a few more hints for good measure. My favorite color is unsurprising given my appearance, I dye my hair, and the last and biggest hint so far, I have seen many of you outside of a school environment." He said as he walked away to his room.

Everyone got to thinking "we met his only a few days ago. When we first met him, he asked us to call him I, maybe I is the first letter of his name." Yaoyaorozu suggested. "He has seen us outside of school before. Has anyone seen the vigilante outside of U.A. Before?" One person asked. "I did yesterday actually, a guy jumped me and he saved me. He is really good at fighting, it is almost scary." Ashido said "he could have also meant yaoyorozu and todoroki because their families are famous." Kirishima pointed out "does anyone here have any idea what his favorite color is?" Someone said as they all looked confused "oh! Maybe it is green." Mineta said as everyone looked at him in confusion. "When we were training yesterday he tagged us with green paint." He continued. Everyone was confused at the purple pervert coming up with an actually good idea.

Meanwhile Izuku was down the hall listening to them bicker. He was looking worried. 'Maybe I gave them too many hints.' He thought as he began to walk out into the common area.

"He may have green hair?" They all agreed that this was the highest possibility. Bakugo was having a crisis at this time. Suddenly all the pieces fell into place. 'There is no way...the vigilante...is....izuku?!' He thought 'No...no...I need to be sure. I need to wait and see if he gives us any more hints.' He thought

"Okay so I was listening in on your conversation and all I will say is that you are on the right track yet you are in need of more information. Anyway keep it up!"he said as he walked away smiling.
