No one left (UA civil war/Vigilante)

Chapter 53

Izuku's POV

Izuku knew that he shouldn't talk to Shinso. When asked by Uraraka earlier about his plan for the upcoming match, he'd told her that he wouldn't speak and just beat Shinso up.

But when the match actually came, Izuku couldn't resist to infuriate and antagonize the lilac haired student of general ed. 

He wanted to see how far he'd have to go for Shinso to snap. Izuku was unrightly interested in the secrets of others.

He was also kind of reveled in their pain...

But that wasn't too important. 

Knowing that Shinso knew about his quirk, Izuku had expected that Shinso would expect that Izuku wouldn't talk to Shinso. Since with an "analytical" quirk, Izuku would know of Shinso's brain washing quirk.

So the moment the match started and Izuku started to talk to Shinso, the poor first year just stared back in distress wondering what was going on.

Izuku didn't let up. From his understanding, he would be fine from the brainwash if he did the talking and as long as he didn't answer Shinso's questions.

"I'm taking your silence as a yes." Izuku says again.

He was pushing Shinso's boundaries. He could see his fellow grademate grow uncomfortable. Izuku suppressed the urge to yawn, fearing that it would push Shinso in the wrong direction.

Shinso wasn't slow however and he recovered quickly from his shock. 

"What is it like being in the hero's course?" Shinso asks.

Neither of the competitors moved from their starting position. Shinso had to win the battle of words.

Izuku just shrugged. 

Shinso's face hardened, "Aren't you the priveleged one? You and I are alike, you know that right?"

Izuku stays silent waiting for the lilac boy to finish speaking.

"We both have a quirk that's both useless and useful in a battle. Except for you, it was useful during the practical entrance exam. You do know that's the only reason why I'm not in the hero course right? It was because we fought robots not humans.

So how does it feel to be priveleged. To be born with a non-villanous quirk? To be in the hero course? 

Can you tell me what it feels like it is to be better than someone else?

What did I do to not deserve being in the hero course?

Right, my quirk. It's too villainous for being a hero right?

No one would want to be saved by a brainwashing hero. What a ridiculous notion."

Izuku continues to stay silent and Shinso's eyes narrow. "ANSWER ME."

... What did Shinso deserve to be punished with not being in the hero course? Well it was nothing. Sometimes those who didn't deserve to be punished were the most punished. Izuku knew that better than anybody.

"Are my problems nothing to you? Do you just not care at all?" Shinso asks desperately, his eyes lighting with frustration. "Fine then, what about your problems. I have a lot of questions for you."

"..."

"That day, when we all went to declare 'war' on all the first year classes, what was wrong with you? Did you really that desperately want to go home?"

Yes. Izuku really did want to go home... 

"Why did you jump out of the window? Were you scared of interacting with use? I may have a villanous quirk, but did your's rot your brain? Is that why you're so weird?"
