"You guys are all third years now. It's time to start thinking seriously about your futures," the teacher had a giant pile of papers on his desk, "I would hand out these future career forms, but..." he threw all the papers into the air, "I assume you all want to be heroes."

Katsuki groaned as the entire classroom erupted into chaos, everyone showing off their quirk. He glanced over to Deku, who was just staring off into space, probably just as uncomfortable with the situation as he was. The chatter continued, Katsuki tuning out all the words until the teacher suddenly said, "Aren't Midoriya and Bakugou also applying for UA?" Fuck.

In an instant, the class went silent. Stares were directed at the two of them, though most of them were at Deku. It was broken when one of them shouted, "UA would never accept a villain!"

"Oi!" Katsuki stood up, "Deku ain't no villain!"

"And what are you gonna do, Kacchan?" another classmate smirked, "What's a quirkless loser like you going to do in the entrance exam?"

"Oh, I'll show you what I can do-" he raised a fist, only for the teacher to bark, "No fighting in class, Bakugou! Detention!" His classmate smirked, only to get sucker punched in the face, "Bakugou!"

"You were already giving me detention anyway!" he heard Deku snort at that, "I don't care what all you shitty extras think! I'll get into UA and become the number one hero, and by then you'll be fucking sorry!"

"Who's your favourite hero?"

"All Might-"

"He's my favourite hero too!" Izuku was bouncing on his feet, "I want to be a hero like him when I grow up!"

"You wouldn't last a second out there," Katsuki scoffed, not even bothering to look back at the smaller boy following him.

"Well, not now, but when I get my quirk, I will!" Izuku stopped, "Kacchan, what do you think your quirk will be?"

"Whatever it is, it'll be super powerful!" the blonde boasted, "I will be the strongest hero there is!"

"I believe in you, Kacchan!"

"And when I'm the strongest hero, you can be my sidekick!"

...

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid your son is quirkless."

"What do you mean he's quirkless?" Masaru asked, failing to hide the waver in his voice.

"He has the extra toe joint."

...

"You went to the quirk doctor today, right, Kacchan? Well, what is it? What's your quirk?"

"I don't have one."

"Huh?"

"I said I don't have one. Now leave me alone."

...

"Kacchan, I got my quirk! Look!" Deku was holding a toy, and out of a sudden, it shot away from him, "It's like the opposite of my mum's quirk! I can make things fly away from me! Isn't that cool?"

"..."

"Kacchan-" the door was slammed in his face.

...

"Wow, Midoriya, your quirk is so cool!"

"Try it with this!"

Katsuki stood off to the side, watching as two other kids were bombarding Deku with praise. That was supposed to be him. He was supposed to get a cool quirk and Deku was supposed to look up at him. But here he was, quirkless, and Izuku was in the spotlight.
