Unworthy Hero, Worthy Villain || Villain! Deku AU

Dream High School, A Nightmare Expreience

That next morning I could barely contain myself during my school classes. Looking back now, I remember that Kacchan had looked back at me a couple times with an a expression that was like "What the fuck is your problem? Sit still!" The teacher even called me out in front of the class, telling me to stop fidgeting so much and actually pay attention to the lesson. How was I meant to sit still when I was only hours away from meeting All Might and training under his wing to finally become a hero!? I remember how I raced out of school once the day was over, excited to get to the beach. Todoroki had been waiting for me, I guess, but I had to lie to him and say that my mom wanted me home early. I still remember that disappointed look in his eyes.. I still feel kinda bad for it, but I couldn't keep my idol waiting. When I got to the beach that day All Might was there waiting for me in his hero form. I remember the smile and the greeting of "Hello, young Midoriya!" I still can recall my excitement, the adrenaline that rushed through my veins as I anticipated getting started on my training. U.A.'s entrance exam was in ten months, so that's how long I would need to endure this grueling training for. Of course I was up for the challenge, anything to prove that I wanted to be the hero that saved others with a smile on his face, a hero that made people feel safe in his presence. All Might's training wasn't easy, especially since I had to clear the beach of trash and debris that had washed up onto the shore. Though, in the end, it was all worth it. It was finally the ten month mark, the day of U.A's entrance exam. All Might was appalled by my work and dedication.. I even went past what he asked me to do to really show him that I was worth of his power, One For All.

"My boy, you've done amazing!" Deku heard All Might's voice ring out, the pride in his voice easily heard. The messy haired boy looked up at him with a small, tired smile, sweat dripping off of his now toned body.

"I.. I couldn't have done this without you All Might, thank you," Deku breathed out and bowed before the other. All Might laughed heartily, then placed a hand on the smaller boy's shoulders.

"None of this was my doing, young Midoriya. This was all you and your perseverance to push on and show me that you truly are set on becoming a hero! Now, It's time for your reward!" The pro-hero exclaimed as he took a step back, the green haired boy raising his bright, jade gaze to watch his idol. All Might then reached up and pulled out a strand on his blond hair, causing Izuku to blink in surprise.

"W-What? Why did you-" The young boy had begun to ask, but he was cut off by All Might.

"To gain One For All, you must ingest some of my DNA! So, hurry, eat it!" The man said as he handed the long strand of hair over to Izuku, who looked at it distastefully for a moment.

"Ah, o-okay!" The smaller boy yelped as he took the strand of hair from the superhero and began to eat it, though he didn't really enjoy having to ingest the hair of another person.

I ate the hair that All Might had given me, but if I recall, I didn't feel any different after I had eaten it. I was a bit confused, so I asked All Might about it, he said that it would take a bit for the power to set in. He left me with a small warning, saying that when I go to use it to "clench my butt and yell 'Smash!'. I reassured him that I would do just that and that I would do my best at the entrance exam. I had gone home after that to take a shower and to get ready for the exam. Before I knew it, I was walking towards U.A. High school. I still remember how in awe I was as how big the high school was, and just the fact that I was there! There was so many people there, happily chatting to each other as they headed towards the entrance exam. This is when I met Ochaco Uraraka, she's a good friend on mine now, or was. She used her anti-gravity quirk to catch me before I fell on my face because I had tripped. That was definitely an embarrassing moment, especially in front of such a nice girl like her.. I also met Tenya Iida here. He is class 1-A's president, also was a good friend of mine. His quirk is Engine, so he's able to run really fast due to the engines in his calves. Anyways, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here. The entrance exam wasn't all fun and games, it was very tough. Kacchan was there too, but ever since the sludge monster attack, he hasn't picked on me as much as he did before hand. I'm sure Todoroki was at the exam too, but I never saw him, to my disappointment. During those ten months of my training, Todoroki had moved away from where he previously lived, meaning he left our old high school, leaving me and Kacchan there. Todoroki and I had all together had lost contact, we stopped talking to each other. I still wondered up to that point if he would even remember me if he saw me. We were told how the exam would run its course by another amazing pro-hero named Present Mic, and lord was he loud. We were told about the bots that would be trying to attack us, and how many points each was worth. Before long we were released into our designated city areas, Iida and Uraraka were in my area. I struggled during the exam, I actually didn't obtain any attack points. Though, I had gained rescue points. I managed to get rescue points when I saved Uraraka from one of the zero point bots.. It towered many feet above us all. I remember not even thinking when I raced to Uraraka's aid, it was just like when I ran out to save Kacchan from the sludge monster. I recall the sudden rush of power that surged throughout my body when I sprang towards the bot many feet up in the air. I had actually broken my legs from the force of One For All, but the adrenaline running through me didn't let me realize that at first. I remember what All Might told me and screamed 'Smash!' When I threw that punch at the bot, easily destroying it. Then, I began falling, with a broken arm and two broken legs. I am forever grateful to Uraraka for saving my life with her anti-gravity, she stopped me before I splattered onto the ground. Luckily, Recovery Girl healed my broken bones and I was able to go home. I waited days for the entrance exam letter to be sent to my house, during this time I never managed to get into contact with All Might again. When the letter did finally arrive, I couldn't believe what the hologram was telling me. I had passed with sixty rescue points! Uraraka even went to the academy and asked if some of her points could be given to me! I was surprised, of course, we barely knew each other! I remember the gratitude that swelled in my chest when the hologram of All Might told me this. My mother was overjoyed when she heard the news, she was so proud of me.. She was actually crying. I was crying too, if I said I wasn't I'd be lying. After that moment I had gotten a message from All Might to meet him at the beach, so I immediately went there. When I got there he congratulated me, telling me that I had done well and that he was proud of me. I asked him about the power in my body, how was I supposed to use it if all it did was break my bones? He told me he knew this would happen, so he helped me think of a solution. This is where my 'egg in the microwave' thought came in, as long as I thought of the egg not exploding in the microwave, I should be able to focus my power and keep it from damaging my body too much! Days after that meeting with All Might and after receiving my entrance letter, it was time for me to head to my dream high school, U.A. High. My classroom was class 1-A, my home room teacher was the pro-hero Eraserhead, or formally known was Mr. Aizawa. I respected him a lot, he's strict, but he's was a good teacher. I remember the dread I felt when I realized Kacchan was in my class, though he didn't bother me as much as he used to, we still weren't on the greatest of terms. Though, I remember the shock I felt when I found out that Todoroki was in my class.. I even looked away quickly when I caught sight of that all too familiar white almost crimson hair of his. Upon entering the classroom I was met by Iida and Uraraka, who I was more than glad to see! At least two new friends and an old one were still in my class! I think Todoroki saw me too, because when I looked back over at him I saw him lower his head, as if he had been looking up. The first day Mr. Aizawa had us practice our quirks in certain ways, saying that whoever got the lowest score would be expelled from the school. Luckily, I managed to show him what I could do when I threw the ball. I managed to focus One For All into the tip of my finger, sending the ball a centimeter further than Kacchan's ball. That pissed Kacchan off and he nearly attacked me, but luckily Mr. Aizawa stopped him. In the end, no one was expelled, but I was the one with the lowest points. I realized at that moment that I would have to work harder than anyone else to become the hero that I dreamed of being. So, began my studies and training to become a hero. At the beginning, many were supportive of me, especially my class and All Might. My class all seemed to look up to me a bit, possibly because my quirk was definitely a strong one. Though, when the Sports Festival came around, I started to notice that my class was beginning to doubt me. They always asked me if I would even be able to participate and do anything, since my quirk basically broke my bones each time I used it. I started to feel self conscious at this point, was I really going to be able to participate and show everyone that I was the true making of a hero? Todoroki this time had begun to talk to me again, even defending me when others tried to say that my quirk wasn't very good. Especially when Kacchan would say something to me, Todoroki was always the first one to stand up and say something in my defense. I began to rely on Todoroki for the support I needed, especially since I had begun to doubt myself too. He gave my the reassurance I needed, though now that I look back I remember how jealous Kacchan got whenever he saw me with Todoroki. It confused me at first, since Kacchan always picked on me and always made me feel bad about the quirk that had been passed down to me. Before long it was time for the Sports Festival, and my mother wished me luck as I left to head to the high school. The Festival was a hard task, but I managed to stay focused and made it first place through the dash around the high school. Todoroki came in second, while Kacchan came in third. During the cavalry battle my team which was made up of Uraraka, Mei Hatsume, Fumikage Tokoyami, and I made it in fourth place, which allowed us to go on to the individual battles. Getting this far, I think I began to show my class that I was worthy of becoming a hero, just like them. Though, before we began our individual battles, I was pulled off to the side by Todoroki. I was surprised by this, especially when he suddenly became intimidating towards me. That's when he asked if I was All Might's secret love child, I could laugh at that now, but in that moment I was surprised, embarrassed. I told him I wasn't, though I wasn't sure he would believe me. He explained me that he was asking this because during the cavalry battle, that he could feel the same intensity coming from me that came off of All Might when we were all at the USJ, when the villains attacked us and All Might versed Nomu. He told me since I had a connection to All Might, the number one hero, that he had even more reason to beat me in the individual battles. I was shocked by this, the one who had told me that I would do well in this, was turning his back to me! He told me what he was there doing, that he was his father's 'greatest creation'. His father is Endeavor, the number two hero, and that he had made Todoroki to one day surpass All Might. He even then finally told me how he had gotten the scar on his face, how his own mother had poured boiling water on him because she couldn't stand to see the left side of his face, that it reminded her of his father. I remember being sad, feeling pity for my friend. Though, in that moment, we weren't exactly friends, more like rivals. We were competing against each other, and since he declared war on me, I declared war back on him. It sounds like a harsh thing, but I wanted to become the greatest hero, just like he wanted. At this moment we had parted ways, now known to each other as rivals. I hadn't known this until later on, but Kacchan had been around the corner, listening to me and Todoroki. I found it a bit surprising when I found this piece of information out. Before long, the individual battles began, and I versed Hitoshi Shinso. I nearly lost to him and his brainwashing, but I pulled through and won that battle. I remember seeing dark figures in the entrance way I had walked through, and that one of the figures there had the same eyes as All Might. I was able to move two of my fingers and using One For All, stopped myself from walking out of bounds. I felt bad for Shinso, I remember how much he wanted to be a hero, but instead he was placed in general studies in class 1-C. Not long after, I was up against Todoroki. I couldn't believe I had gotten this far.. Though, now was my time to get through to Todoroki, like he had gotten through to me. This battle was gruesome, I had broken all the fingers in my right hand and broken my left arm using it to punch myself free from Todoroki's ice. I remember how Todoroki told me he would only use his right side in battle and not his left to spite his father. During this time I reminded Todoroki of who he was, and that his power was his power, not his father's. I think I managed to get through to him, because only seconds after did his left side flare up in a burst of hot, red and orange flames. I remember his words, that whatever happened next wasn't his fault. I don't remember much after that part, though I remember slamming into the stadium wall after I was propelled backwards by Todoroki's ice and flames. I nearly didn't make it out alive, I was so beat up, I had broken my fingers in my right hand continuously over and over, now it's left very, very scarred. To this day I haven't gotten my hand completely healed, as a reminder of how far I went for a certain someone, not just because it would help me grow as a hero. After that my classmates seemed rather afraid of me, I think I ended up ranking 8th in the individual battles, though I'm not exactly sure. First place was Kacchan, surprisingly. In second place was Todoroki, which I was happy for him. And in third place was Tokoyami and Iida, but Iida had left early from the festival because his brother, a pro hero named Ingenium, had been attacked. After the festival my classmates seemed to stay away from me, they eyed me too when I wasn't looking. They continued to talk like normal to each other, but I could tell they were trying to stay away from me now. Kacchan was the same, still yelling at me, calling me names and whatnot. Todoroki after the festival seemed to be distant from me too, but I could tell that it was for a different reason unlike everyone else. In time my arms healed, and we were told about internships. All Might came to me personally and told me I was being asked for by a man that went by Gran Torino. I was over joyed at the though of someone wanting to intern me! Though, All Might seemed a bit nervous, he told me that Gran Torino had been his own mentor. I was a bit wary now too, because if All Might was nervous, than I knew I should probably be too. Not long after we were sent off on our internships, and I learned how to control my five percent of One For All. I realized that I needed to have my power move throughout my body equally! Also, that I only called upon One For All when I needed it in that exact moment, instead I should be using it as if it was a second part of my body! I am forever grateful to Gran Torino for showing me this and helping me learn. Especially when we went out to go defeat some villains, he wanted me to experience other fighting styles and not just his. This is when actual villains attacked Hosu city, where Iida was interning. Of course I was worried, I still considered him and Uraraka my close friends at the time. A creature that looked all too familiar to the Nomu from USJ had attacked the bullet train that me and Gran Torino were in, but Gran Torino quickly acted and attacked the Nomu using his quirk: Jet. I followed after him, of course, I needed to find Iida. I realized in that moment that Iida was going after the Hero Killer: Stain, because that the the person who had attacked his brother. I remember searching every alleyway that was away from all the chaos.. and when I found Iida.. He was laying on the ground, the hero killer right above him when a sword in hand. He was going to kill Iida! I acted quickly and shot forward, landing a punch on the Hero Killer's face and sent him skidding away. Iida was quick to warn me that I couldn't be cut, or that I would be paralyzed like he was. I secretly had managed to send out my location in a group chat to my class, though Todoroki was the only one to respond. Together me and Todoroki fought the Hero Killer, and in the end Iida was able to get up, together we managed to take down Hero Killer: Stain, and were met by Gran Torino and a few other heroes. That's when the Nomu that had attacked our bullet train came out of nowhere and attacked, grabbed me and began to fly away. Somehow Stain had managed to get free of the ropes we had tied him with and attacked the Nomu that was trying to take me away, instantly killing it, though he had me pinned to the ground with his foot. I remember what the Hero Killer told me, that I was worthy to keep alive, I was worthy to stay alive and become a hero. Though, I wish it wasn't him who said that to me, it did mean something in that moment. It told me that even if my class looked down on me and continuously told me that my quirk was rather dangerous and could kill me before I could dream of becoming a hero, that a /Hero Killer/ thought that I was worthy enough to become a hero. I laugh at the thought of this, how sad that I thought a murder could give me hope! I'm rambling on now, after this the Hero Killer was captured, as somehow he had fallen unconscious due to internal damage to his lung. After this Todoroki, Iida, and I had been taken to the hospital. Here I learned that the injury to my leg was rather bad, but nothing too serious. Iida on the other hand had damaged his left arm, and that he would gain some numbness and would lose slight movement in his fingers. After this we made a pact, that we wouldn't fix our wounds until we were heroes that had learned from our mistakes. Todoroki felt bad for us, even apologizing for the sports festival and called himself 'The Hand Crusher'. We laughed of course, finding it funny how Todoroki was being like this. It was rather cute to see Todoroki feeling bad for what happened, I still remember his almost too adorable expression when he looked at me. After this the head chief of the police department came to us and told us the situation. He told us that we could go free and have Todoroki's father take the credit for taking down the Hero Killer or that we could face consequences. Of course, we chose to let Todoroki's father to take the credit, we wanted to take the chance to hide our mistake if we could. After this we finished out our internships, then headed back to U.A. to continue our regular classes. As soon as I got back, I remember others whispering about me, and how I was in the same city as the Hero Killer and how we fought him. Some commented on my quirk, asking if I had broken any bones, poking fun at me. I tried to brush them off, but it was hard, as their teasing started to become worse. Things like 'If you broke your bones, then the Hero Killer could have easily finished you off and you wouldn't be a hero at all!' Were said, and much more along those lines. In the end, I tried to ignore them, but soon enough I think Kacchan had enough too. He had been getting made fun of ever since he came back from his internship with Best Jeanist. He yelled at everyone to 'shut the fuck up!' To 'leave me and Deku alone!' And to 'find something better to do than make fun of us unless they wanted to be blasted to fucking smithereens!' I was rather shocked by this, and the others were too. I remember that Kacchan had spared me a glance, I recall there being a slight softness in his ruby colored gaze before he quickly looked away. The rest of that day no one said anything to me, more or less they just stopped talking to me completely. Except for Uraraka and Iida, they seemed to be the only ones who didn't poke fun at me, as well as Todoroki and Kacchan. School from there went on as usual, the constant teasing that sometimes went too far and the hero training. I somehow managed to befriend Shinso during this time, though I'm not exactly sure how myself. Me and Shinso became close very quickly, as we both came to realize that we were both looked looked down upon for our quirks. Shinso became a close friend of mine, even closer than Uraraka and Iida. It was free period for us, we found out that we had the same free period together, so we usually hung out we each other during it. We learned more about each other through this, I even learned that Shinso loved cats and that he wished that he could be in the Hero course. We were sitting together one day under the shade of a tree, everyone free period were aloud to hang out outside. Today, I had to speak to Shinso about something urgent, so he came as quickly as he could.
