Depend Quirk - Beginning

8.

Late in the afternoon, Izuku tried to call his friend again, but to no avail.

He sighed and looked at the phone screen. — Still nothing, maybe something happened..? — he shook his head at the thought, not wanting to even think about such things. Bored, he began to browse the media until he came across material from one of the popular online-news sites.

—  Hello — the reporter said with a smile.
— In today's news, I'll mention an incident from a few months ago. It's about a 14-year-old boy who jumped from the roof. — The reporter was silent for a moment, looking serious and turning his attention more to the building.

— The boy is 14 years old and attends the school in front of which I am now. Please note that I won't say more about him than needed. I can say that he survived and is probably recovering right now. — he said pointing at the building behind him.

— The boy was bullied at school, and the teachers did not react and pretended that nothing was wrong. Some of them even took a step further and joined, harassing the poor boy mentally. — The man, although he did his best to not show his emotions, it wasn't that hard to realize, that this topic wasn't pleasant to talk about for him.
—  Moreover! They did it with full awareness of their actions. Just because the boy IS quirkless. —

The reportage was stopped by Present Mic.

— Even the teachers... — he said with disgust and turned off the TV. Midnight, who was sitting beside him, sighed and looked down.

— Poor boy, I hope he recovers. — she said and looked resignedly at the exams she had to grade.

Present Mic looked in the direction of the black-haired man, who had been only listening to the report while doing something on his computer, now he stood with wide eyes. — Aizawa? — Mic blinked and then hit him, the report they just watched was probably about the boy his friend saved not so long ago.

"— Why did you jump? — Another long silence had appeared as he asked this. It was like the boy was thinking if he should be honest or just lie.

— I am quirkless.. — he said finally in half-whisper.

— Could you say a bit more? —

— Explaining this to you doesn't make any sense. — Izuku said firmly. — Nobody knows nor cares about what the life of a quirkless person looks like. — annoyed with the question, opened his eyes showing almost white pupils. It surprised the man"

Aizawa didn't answer Mic, he only blinked a few times and looked down at his desk, as he remembered the conversation with the green-haired boy from a few days ago.
—  Was... Was that actually what he meant..? —
