What is Justice?

Chapter Twenty Five

"You know, you didn't really need to do that."

"But I should."

"*Sighs, But either way, thanks."

"Mm."

Izuku in his age of 8 and wearing his school uniform seemed to have a few bandages on his hands, a few over his right shoulder and also one that was over his left wrist, Izuku was walking down the street with a girl, with black hair side-swept, bob-cut, and shoulder length hair, with cerulean eyes and a neutral expression on her face with the same age as Izuku himself, she held some left-over rolls of bandages on her left hand.

"Why do you even bother Yui? Besides because you should I mean."

"You needed it."

"That's all?"

"Mm."

"Why do I have a feeling that there is an ulterior motive behind your face."

"It was your imagination."

Izuku was just finished after another beating by Kachaan and his lackeys since he was 'looking down on him' about him wanting to be a hero, and that seems to piss his best friend off, although can Izuku even call Bakugo a friend? He doesn't know, his classmate Kodai Yui? Well, if being friendly counts as a friend, then she is his friend, but... why would someone want to friend a quirkless person like him?

"Yui, uhm, why did you become my friend? There are other people rather than a quirkless person like me?"

"You're nice."

"Are you sure? There are others nicer than me."

"Mm, the day."

"Your first day?"

Izuku remembers the first day when Kodai Yui got transferred to his class in Aldera, she was a very quiet girl and didn't really talk a lot, her quirk was size which intrigued Izuku so much, although their first formal meeting where they got to know each other better is when Izuku saw her getting cornered by a few bullies, being the kind soul he is, Izuku rushed in to defend her, usually this ends with the victim blaming Izuku of making him or her looking weak, but... instead of that, Yui just looked at him then walked away.

"Did you mean that day? But isn't that what anyone else would do?"

"Mm."

Yui just shook her head, they have been acquainted with each other for a few months, Izuku got to know Yui a bit better, she only speaks in short sentences and always uses eye language (as Sanda-sensei liked to call it) and a few shakes and nods with a hint of body language as well, ever since Izuku interfered with the bullies, she started to eye him, after a few days, right after a daily dose of beating by Kachaan, Yui approached him and started to help him treating first aid, he at first insisted to do it himself but, Yui turns out is very persistent, so he just complied.

"So... what do you want this time?"

After a few acts of kindness by Yui, Izuku had insisted to her that he will treat her in return, at first Yui just shook her head but with a few bribes of her favourite food and with an entire analysis page on her since she was aiming for U.A.'s hero course it worked, honestly it was just a wild chance but she seemed to like his analysis and questions on her quirk as she responded a bit more expression than usual.

"Mm?"

"Tomatoes?"

"Mm!"
