Quirkless Bastard

"You Quirkless bastard!"

Barely even a minute after stepping into the Alliance Heights building, and Izuku was being attacked by one of the Quirked students there. News spread fast around people who had Quirks, some of whom Izuku remembered seeing stood in the line while he was being scanned. There was no doubt that they had mentioned and pointed out exactly who the supposedly Quirkless student was.

There was speed and aggression to this strike, with clear motivation to break through Izuku's skull if the user could get away with it. This wasn't someone who was going to mess around. They were serious about launching the strike, someone who had suffered greatly at the hands of the Quirkless, who had anger bubbling inside them for years.

While it all happened in a second, Izuku could see every single thing that happened like it was all occurring in slow motion. The person who was throwing the punch had revealed a set of sharpened teeth as he'd yelled, and thrown a reverse punch from his right hand, and it moved with such speed it was a total blur to anyone who hadn't been expecting it. As it came closer towards him, the skin around the fist suddenly sharpened, and became hard, jagged, like the surface of a rock.

No one who hadn't been expecting this attack would have been able to react. Even with someone like Mina's reflexes, without prior knowledge, evasion would have been inevitable.

So it said a lot when Katsuki was the only one to react when the punch was thrown.

He'd reacted instantly, like he'd been expecting this to happen for weeks now. He probably had been, Izuku knew. His cynical nature had left him totally prepared for this sort of attack, expecting the very worst outcome, which as it turned out, was the outcome that came true. First came a left redirect, Katsuki using his left hand to push the punch away from its mark, causing it to narrowly miss Izuku's face, just gently scratching the surface of his skin and knocking a few of his hairs aside. Ensuring that the blast wasn't going to injure his friend, Katsuki then activated his Quirk, blasting the red haired boys entire arm far away from Izuku as the energy from the explosion was transferred into the Quirked boy's rock solid arm, throwing him off balance and vulnerable to a real attack..

Up next came Katsuki's real strike – His trademark right hook. His palm flat and open as his fingers made a claw gesture, Katsuki slammed his open hand into the face of the attacker with force, coming into contact with skin that felt like a rocks. On instinct, the attacking student leaned away from the clasp the Explosion Quirk user had, unable to get away before the Quirk was activated once again, detonating his palm at point-blank range.

There wasn't even a hint of holding back. The explosion was large yet focused, and the impact shot straight into the other student. The knockback from Katsuki's second attack was huge, sending the student flying back the way he had come, smacking him right into the wall at the opposite ends of the room, after flying past two other students who hadn't even had time to process that a person was being blown towards them.

The person themselves didn't seem to exactly be hurt much by the blonde boy's attacks, but he certainly was surprised by Katsuki's reflexes and by his Quirk. Probably even more so that a Quirked student was defending the rumoured Quirkless student. A lot of stuff just happened that the Quirked attacker didn't like or understand.

From down the length of his arm, Katsuki glared towards the attacker from between his fingers, smoke from using his powers still smouldering from his palms. His red eyes met the students equally red ones, with a very evident anger to them. He then spoke with such blunt annoyance and hate that it sent Goosebumps running down Mina's spine. "If you fucking dare try that again, I'll blast you into a fucking hole in the ground!"

"K-Kacchan, calm down!" Once he'd recovered from the shock that he'd been hit with once everything caught up to his body, Izuku tried to defuse the situation as quickly and as calmly as he could, pushing on Katsuki's arm to make him lower the limps that were extraordinarily deadly weapons.
