Deku: The Feared Hero (Re-Worked)

Chapter 58

Ochaco let out a small sigh as she wiped some sweat from her forehead. They had just finished the chorography for their dance routine, and they were getting really good at the moves Mina had showed them.. despite Ochaco's eyes continuously wandering to where ever Izuku was. 

No matter what they were doing, her eyes seemed to drift over to Izuku. She couldn't help but think about what he had said to her. The other girls, his part in the villain activity, his part with the heroes, everything that made him seen like a whole new person. It was too much to accept, all at once at least. 

And now she was beginning to wonder why she was so.. intimate with him in the first place. She felt like she had loved him, so, so much.. but now she was questioning everything. If she really loved him, why did she run away.. why didn't she accept him when he laid out everything for her. He had given her his heart. So vulnerable, so fragile, and she had stepped on it.

Mina: " Ochaco?" she asked, tapping her on her shoulder, causing the gravity quirk user to let out a small squeal before she turned to Mina. 

Ochaco: "Y-Yeah?!" she quickly said, a little louder than she wanted. 

Mina: " Are you okay? You seem a little out of it." she said, looking concerned. 

Ochaco: "I-I'm fine." she said, " I'm just a little tired from the dancing." 

Mina: "Ochaco, I told you that you shouldn't over work yourself." she scolded, "This is suppose to be fun, you don't need to push yourself so hard." 

Ochaco: "O-Okay," she said, " I'll be sure to be carful." she said, giving a thumbs up.

Mina: "Okay," she said before she looked at another group that was still practicing and let out a sigh, "I've already told you, it's snap, crack, twirl!" she said before walking over to the group, leaving Ochaco alone with her thoughts as her eye gravitated back to Izuku. Watching his every motion, to the very sweat that dripped from his nose, as if she were in a trance. 

Ochaco: 'Do.. do I really love Izuku?' she pondered to herself.

Izuku let out a sigh as he watched the latest Gentile Criminal video. It was getting closer and closer to the student festival, meaning that it was almost time for the attack on the festival by Gentle and La Brava. He had thought about it for a while, but he thought that adding them to the league would be very beneficial for them. He could help them, and even prevent their arrest if he worked fast enough. 

Gentle and La Brava were.. a turning point for him. They were the firs two that really made him dig deep into what caused a person to become a villain. The amount of Sorrow, the amount of Anger, Spite, Delusion, Betrayal, Pain, Loss, Desperation.. even one of those things can make a villain, just as much as it can make a hero. The concept was fickle at best, but it tied down a lot of Izuku's conclusions and was even the main topic of conversation when the Kota he knew was still alive. 

 Izuku then let out another small groan as he saw Gentle spill the tea again from his high pour. 

Izuku: "Maybe Oboro can teach him how to pour tea." he muttered as he rolled over in his bed, continuing to watch the video.

Mirio stood outside the teacher lounge, taking a small breath as he stood at the door. He was a little fearful. Well considering there was an immensely strong villain that had taken out an entire team of heroes he had the right to be, but that wasn't the reason why he was scared. 

The villain knew of One for All. Mirio had thought that only a hand full of people knew, but now that someone completely unrelated to the quirk, or as much as he knew, was lecturing him on how to use it.. he had to admit he was curious if All-Might had left out some information.
