The Heroic Mime

Chapter 4

Fourth year of primary school, normal day as always? Nope.

Katsumi got to her desk and found on it a little piece of paper "After schol in the ally behind the schol or are you to scared too come?".

Now she was pissed, first someone challenges her, second they don't put a single fucking comma in the whole phrase, third they misspell half of the words in the fucking sentence, as if they weren't dumb for picking a fight with her, they were so smart they did psychological warfare by not knowing grammar, how much sarcasm could she use to make fun of them before she handed their asses over?

Unbeknownst to her Izuku read the message, snickered at the lack of grammar and at his friend's reaction, wondering if they were first years because they didn't seem to know who they were picking a fight with and neither they knew how to write a challenge, in a brief moment of pity he wondered if he should give them one of his signs as to not let them embarrass themselves any further.

At last the bell rang and every student rushed out of the school.

A boy and a girl walked towards the alley behind the school, well the girl thought she was going alone, the boy was trailing behind, taking care not to be seen by the one he was pursuing.

They arrived at their destination, he leaned against the wall around the corner, waiting for an explosion to launch the idiots who challenged his friend out of the alley.

"Are you the dumbfucks who challenged me, no wait maybe that was too complicated for you to understand, let's try again: You, "points at them", want to fight "does a punching motion" me? "points to herself" Have you understood now?"

"Continue being a smartass while you can, because I'm going to beat you into a pulp!" said the bigger boy, they were just two, him and a nerdy-looking one she couldn't figure out why he was there

"I'd like to see you try"

"Oh, you see, it's pretty easy, our loser over here with a loser quirk is going to help me, you see his quirk lets him make other people's sweat evapour-evaporit-evaper, fuck this, you understood. How do you plan on fighting without your quirk?"

( to clarify, Katsumi's quirk is like in canon, she can ignite the nitroglycerin in her sweat, creating the explosion)

"Now loser, use your quirk so I can give the bitch a beating."

Now Katsumi was starting to get worried, she was at a disadvantage, and she was starting to feel her skin drying.

The boy lunged in for a punch, she dodged, he started to throw more and more punche, she tried to evade the first ones but she got hit and so she put her arms in front of her face, guarding from the opponent's blows but they were starting to hurt more and more as she retreated towards the end of the alley.

She was at the entrance of the alley when a fist connected to her stomach and she fell on the sidewalk, as she shakily stood up she saw Izuku walking towards her, she saw him with a serious expression, she saw a mix of worry, for her, and anger for her opponent, she had been nearly scared by her expression, as if his smile had been rotated by 180 degrees, she started to feel pity for her opponent, he wasn't going to escape unscathed, a serious Izuku was one of the few things that scared her and this was on a whole other level of scary.

"The bitch's boyfriend wants to protect the slut, how did she convince you to be her bodyguard? Did she...."

oh boy did he fuck up, he was thrown backwards by a blow to the chest, Izuku was standing close to him, miming using a stick; the following hit was to the head, the bully met the ground with his face, Izuku lifted the stunned boy's head by the hair and whispered in his ear "If I find you even remotely breathing in a radius of 20 metres from her I will make you remember this beating as a light one, and you" he looked at the sweat-evaporating boy trembling a few steps from him " you haven't seen anything, am I right?"

"Y-y-yes, absolutely, crystal clear."

"Now scram!"

Meanwhile Katsumi was anxious, she didn't like the idea of her best friend not putting a smile on someone's face, he outright terrified the two kids, she felt guilty for putting him in that situation, she felt stupid for accepting a challenge that was obviously a trap, she blamed herself for being too weak and having to need Izuku's help, she had to redeem herself.

"Kacchan, are you okay?"

"More or less"

"Let's go get some ice cream, I pay."

"But I dragged you into this mess I should be the one to..."

"Let me stop you right here, I signed up for this when I decided to be your friend and I got involved by my own will, and last I'm not the one who's hurt, no more arguing, I'm offering.

Do you need help to walk?"

"No, I don't, so... I guess thanks?"

"No problem, now I'm going to challenge the triple topping quintuple flavour."

"No way you can beat me nerd."

And they went to face their biggest challenge yet.
