Just who Is Izuku Midoriya? (ON BREAK)

Chapter Four: Not Quite a Hero

The villains watched as Izuku, already in the proper place, was again rendered unconscious.

The voice said, "As I had said beforehand, Izuku's thought process tends to differ from that of an everyday person on the streets. You will be shown this through four clips, each one brushing up on what he truly stands for as a person." Without any further warning, the glass once again went dark.

A new scene was shown. Midoriya was sitting on his couch watching the news. It covered the flame hero, 'Endeavor's rise as the new number one hero. '

The atmosphere in the room grew tense. Not a single one of them liked Endeavor in the slightest. As a matter of fact, he was hated by each and every one of them, mainly however, Dabi.

Believe it or not, the L.O.V. were a family (of sorts?). They did care about each other. Well, not all of them, but they had a leading group and said the group was pretty close. Many of them shared their stories with each other and found comfort and acceptance in one another. While Dabi had never explicitly shared his story, it is evident that Endeavor had a role in it and a very dark one. So, the atmosphere in the room wasn't so great right now.

Their attention returned to the screen when the boy scoffed, "You've got to be kidding me." He angrily snapped his notebook shut after turning off the TV. Midoriya went upstairs to his dorm room but paused before entering. Changing his mind, he turned and knocked on another student's door after making his way over. The door was pulled open to reveal Todoroki, who looked confused but motioned for him to come in anyway.

Seeing the traditional, elegant room, some villains couldn't help but be entertained.

Midoriya walked inside and plopped down on a cushion with a huff. Todoroki sat across from him and raised an eyebrow, asking the green-haired boy to explain.

"Your dad is awful."

The villains' mouths hung open in surprise. It was common knowledge that the boy loved heroes, so for him to outright show distaste for one was shocking, to say the least. But nothing could've prepared them for what he said next.

"Couldn't Stain have targeted him instead? I would have helped if he asked me to.

Todoroki huffed out a laugh from his seat across Midoriya. Meanwhile, the villains felt like their brains had stalled. Did he just admit to wanting Endeavor dead? Do you want a hero dead?

"Izuku, you're a hero."

"In training." he contradicted.

The villains couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"I'll admit, I know why I hate him so much, but why do you hate him?" Todoroki asked.

"Are you serious? Well, for one thing, I've never liked that man." The boy practically spat. "He fully believes that every criminal is a villain and a villain's life is meaningless, and he has no care for the safety of civilians or the properties he destroys. Is he dumb or something? Or does he just not realize that people live there, and the asshole can't just go around destroying things in the name of 'being a hero.'"

Todoroki nodded, listening with a small smile. He completely agreed, and since the more petite boy clearly needed to rant, he was more than happy to hear.

"On top of that, he's a HORRIBLE father and an AWFUL person. I mean, who does that to their kids? You're not a tool or a masterpiece; you are a person. What the hell is wrong with him?!"
