Izukun cried as he stood over another child. "Why are you being so mean? You're making him cry, Kacchan! If you keep on hurting him, uh...I'll...uh...I'll stop you myself!" With his fluffy green hair and tears of fear in his eyes, he lifted his tiny fists in the air ready to fight off Kacchan.
I looked over toward Kacchan and his two other friends from the jungle gym wondering in slight fear of what was going to happen.
"Hmph. You wanna pretend to be a hero? You don't stand a chance without a Quirk, Deku." As one friend spreads out his large red wings threateningly and the other stretches his fingers outwardly toward Izukun, Kacchan punches his own hand causing a small explosion to occur. The three of them run at Izukun ready to attack.
"Kacchan, stop!" I yelled. "Don't hurt him!" I began to run to get in between them to stop the fight.
"Get out of the way, Akari!" Kacchan yelled.
"No! I can't allow you to hurt someone just because they're weaker than you!"
"Kacchan, get your girlfriend out of the way!" one of his friends said in annoyance.
"I'm not his girlfriend!" "She's not my girlfriend!" we said at the same time.
"Whatever, this isn't about you! Move!" the other friend said.
"No!" I yelled standing my ground though my heart was fluttering with fear. Before I could do anything else, Kacchan exploded the ground underneath me causing me to be thrown out of the way. They began to beat Izukun up and soon left the playground satisfied, leaving him on the ground dirty and bruised, though the other kid remained untouched. I, also completely dirtied and slightly injured, ran over to check on Izukun's injuries.
Here's the sad truth: all men are not created equal. We were four years old when it became obvious that some are more powerful than others. But that never held Izuku Midoriya back. He wanted to be just as good, maybe even better than everyone around him. I never understood that about him. That day when we were kids and he tried to protect that kid from Katsuki Bakugo, I couldn't understand why a Quirkless kid would try to fight someone like him. I was the new kid in class when I met them. I hung out with them though I was standoffish at first as they had such different personalities. Now in our last year in junior high, I keep more to myself than anything else as not many people really want to be associated with me. It was a normal walk to school when I walk upon the road ahead to see it's closed and a huge supervillain running rampid in town. Great, not this again, I roll my eyes in boredom and annoyance.
Heroes and villains were not always a thing. The first incident was in Qingqing City. An extraordinary child was born who radiated light. After that, reports of people with superpowers popped up across the globe. No one knew what was causing these Quirks. Before long, the supernatural became totally normal. Dreams a reality. The world became a superhuman society, with about 80% of the population possessing some uncanny ability. Our streets looked like scenes from comic books. As cities swirled with chaos and confusion, a new profession dominated our collective consciousness. It was an age of heroes.
