The Hero That Smiles

As the next day came the sports festival of UA begin, which Shigaraki was watching on his laptop in his room, and since he was busy with that Kurogiri was still out looking for the hero killer which means Deku was in his own room reading through the books he was given, but as he read through some of the books he began having trouble pronouncing some words and sentences which made him angry and tear out a page from the book and toss it to the other side of the room, but even after ruining some of the books he still had planning to read through so he kept trying to read the best he could will always end up damaging the books how to frustration, so as he grabbed another book by its cover, something suddenly fell out from in between the pages, from that happening Deku looks down and sees a thin book with a colorful cover and large man whose face is scratched off, so he goes ahead and drops the book he's holding and reaches down to grab the thin book and hold it up, where he then tries to pronounce title.

~Deku~

"Sym... bol... of... p-peace."

After pronouncing the title, Deku goes ahead and flips open the book and sees colorful pictures in different panels of the pages, immediately enchanted of all the colorful pictures he is seeing right before his eyes, but as he was looking at the pages he noticed that the large man from the cover also has his face scratched off in the pages as well, but Deku the things that's just part of the book, so he continues looking through the pages until he sees a speech bubble next to the large hero, which Deku then tries to read.

~Deku~

"I... a-am... h-here."

After just saying those three words, Deku continued reading through the pages which was so fascinating to him but as he was reaching but as soon as he reached but as soon as he flipped through the final page he was able to see the large man's face which wasn't scratched off, from seeing that man's face he notices a big smile on his face, which was something that Deku has never seen before since he has never experienced any emotions similar to this, so wanting to know how it feels Deku begins to imitate the smile he sees on the page, but in his attempt to smile the door to his room suddenly opens and which makes him stop and look over at the door to see Shigaraki holding a plate with food that is for him, but as Shigaraki looked at Deku he noticed the thin book he was reading, which made him drop the plate of food and go over to snatch the book from his hands, as he did this Deku try to reach out to grab it but immediately stops from seeing Shigaraki's angry face, which caused him to pull his hands back.

~Shigaraki~

"Listen here specimen, this here this here is trash and needs to be destroyed."

From saying that Shigaraki went ahead and placed all five of his fingers on the book which began to fully disintegrate, what's the book was fully disintegrated you wiped off his hands and looked at Deku.

~Shigaraki~

"Remember this specimen, heroes are nothing but our enemies, when I demand you to kill a hero you do it!, Am I clear!?"

Deku nodded his head yes and looked away from Shigaraki's angry face, after seeing that Shigaraki went ahead and left the room, once he was gone Deku went over to the disintegrated remnants of the book on the floor and begin grabbing the pieces, but just from touching them they all disintegrated even more, seeing that the one book he enjoyed reading was now gone forever, which made him felt very sad, hours later Kurogiri returned with the hero killer and had him wait at the bar as he goes to get Shigaraki and Deku, he went ahead and went to Deku's room first, from opening the door he sees him eating his food on the floor, so he goes over to him and kneels down to stop him from eating any more food from the floor, after doing so he then disposes the food and the broken plate in a small portal.
