Who said I needed a quirk

Chapter 110: Boss

Izuku's POV:

As the sounds of footsteps echoed through the doors while I was facing off against the Leader, I had to come up with an idea of how to escape from this situation. The only thing I knew about the criminals is what the three of them can do.

The leader may have gotten a power booster but he must need physical touch in order to use his quirk on someone else, otherwise, he would have used his quirk on me already besides reaching his hand out for me. There's another person who can infiltrate dreams and dig up memories, but I assume they're useless in this situation since they can only do mental damage, which I already broke free from their grasp. The last one is a dangerous one, they can replicate what their body had experienced and project that onto another person. It's not known how far back they can project what their body has experienced or if they can reuse the same experience on the same person, but if they target me and start hurting themself, I would feel that pain as well.

Momo: "Mi-Midoriya-kun?" I heard Yaoyorozu-san question as she sat up from the ground, surprised to see me here.

Izuku: "Run!" I yelled back to her as she then realized what was happening.

She quickly got up but constrained by her restraints, she was only able to hide behind one of the nearby boxes.

As I then turned back to the leader, I quickly felt something going on my face, making me instantly dodge to the side, seeing that the Leader came out with a right hook for me. I then noticed that he reached out with his left hand to clasp his hands together as the punch then turned into an elbow jab towards me.

I quickly jumped back to narrowly avoid his jab as I felt a slight breeze from the drag of his elbow jab. When I landed on my feet and looked back at him to see that he had already repositioned himself for another attack, that's when I realized I was facing off against an actually skilled fighter.

Unlike the one at the museum, who strategically used his quirk for offense, the person I was currently facing had experience in fighting hand to hand. As soon as I realized this, the sound of the door being slammed open boomed throughout the room as around 10 people had started coming through, quickly ganging up behind the Leader.

Henchmen#2: "Huh? Boss, are you sure you need our help? It's just a kid." one of the henchmen questioned.

Leader: "No. I just need you guys to find a certain bitch in the warehouse. I'm getting annoyed by her." which got confused looks among the henchmen.

One of them wanted to speak up but he then glared at them, sending shivers down their spines as they all then exited out of the room. Leaving only me, Yaoyorozu-san, and him behind.

When he turned back around, I had already left my positioning as I was dashing for my bag. While I was rushing towards my bag, the leader had already noticed me as he started chasing, but since I already had the headstart,  I was able to grab my bag before he could catch up to me. I continued running as I then searched through my bag.

Izuku: "Why didn't you use one of your guys to put me to sleep as you did before?" I questioned as I was having a hard time going through my bag as everything was continuously getting jumbled up from my running.

Leader: "There are higher priorities than you right now!" he yells, seemingly not being exhausted by our continued running, "Besides, I could tell from your reaction to my attacks that you're somewhat skilled in fighting, making you the perfect warm-up as a punching bag before I get my revenge on that bitch who only seemed to be only playing around." which got me to question who he was referring to, but I didn't have time to think more about it as I only continued running.

I then heard the foot pacing behind me increase, meaning that he was speeding up. I heard the whoosh of the air that told me he was going to reach out for me with his hands. I quickly jumped up to dodge whatever he was doing, and landed on his arm, using my weight to slam it to the ground, which made him groan out in pain as I then jumped off and tried to do a high kick now that he was lower on the ground.

I put all my force into the kick, hoping that the recoil inside of his head would be enough to knock him out. When my kick made contact with his head, the recoil on my foot was larger than it should have been, making it hard for me to apply any pressure on my right foot. Despite the pain, I had looked back at the leader to see if the attack was a success.

I heard a small chuckle come out of him as he slowly got back up with a smirk.

Leader: "Sorry kid, I've been told that I have a thick skull, so it's going to take a whole lot more than that to knock me out." he then reached out for my collar.

I tried getting out of the way, but because of the injury on my right foot, I was unsuccessful in evading. He was able to grab me by the collar and pick me off the ground, making me drop my bag. He then threw me into the wooden crates where Momo was, dealing serious blows on my body. I was covered in bruises and a few wooden splinters had pierced my body, giving my back some severe pain. I tried getting back up but my body felt like it couldn't move anymore.

I slowly turned my head to see that Momo was in shock and tears as she slowly walked over to me.

Izuku: 'Looks like I failed her." I thought to myself before I got light-headed, passing out.

No One's POV:

Leader: "Well that was anticlimactic." he says out loud as he looks over at Izuku's unconscious body as Momo was tearing up.

He was about to leave the room and search for Akane for being a pain in the ass to deal with. Right before he reached out for the door handle, he felt immense pressure coming from behind, making him quickly turn around to see that Izuku was getting back up as his hair was covering up his eyes.

Momo: "Midoriya-kun!" she cheered as she was happy to see him still kicking.

She then felt a quick force on her neck, which sent shockwaves to her brain, knocking her out unconscious. Izuku grabbed her before she fell to the ground, gently laying her on the ground.

Izuku: "You shouldn't have to see this." Izuku said to her as he fixed her hair a bit.

He stood back up as he looked back at the leader, as he was both amazed and stunned by the aura that Izuku was oozing out.

Izuku: "Round 2." he said in a monotone voice as his dead eyes pierced through his loose hair, getting the Leader excited as he had another chance for some skilled fighting.
