Over Powered (My Hero Acedamia) - Dropped

Chapter 6

I was helping Izu-kun study for entrance exams. They were still three months away, but it was never too early. Unlike the other people I would help by tutoring, I didn't charge him  well besides friend ship. I basically gave him worksheets, and answered questions for him, while I studied myself. "Is this right?" he asked showing my the most recent question he did.

I laughed playful at him. "Yes, but you only needed to find the equation." Instead he graphed the entire thing. He groaned and slammed his head into the table. "Read the instructions," I reminded him and returned to reading my science textbook.

"I brought you two studying snacks," Midoria-san declared as she set down a plate of apple slices and orange edges in front of us. I instantly grabbed an orange slice and put it in my mouth like it was a smile. I sucked all the juice out of it before chewing on the pulp still clinging to the peel. "Jikan, I know Izuku has already submited his application for UA?" she asked, she sorta was a a side mother to me. Just filling in for the one in prison.

I pulled the peel out of my mouth so I could talk. I was disgusted by the amount of seliva hanging from it as I sat it down on a napkin." Not yet, " I finally got around to answering, "I want to send in applications to all the high schools I want to apply to at the same time, but I can't find the time to get to a library or internet cafe recently." I had a slightly depressed tone in my voice. Who could blame me. I needed to get into a good high school, while still taking care of my family. It's just going to get more stressful the further I go.

" You can use our computer, " the kind woman offered. I looked at her with stars in my eyes.

"Really!?" I asked, close to snapping the pen in my hand in half from excitement. She nodded with an amused smirk. I got up off the couch and went into Izu-kun's room, which was the home to the computer. I started out with UA's application. It all seemed normal; name, address, previous schooling, grade, phone numbers, etc. Then came one dreadful question. Have you or someone in your family committed a major felony in the past ten years? I had no choice but to be honest and click yes. I filled out the rest of the applications with a heavy heart. I applied to two more hero schools in the area that would just use your score from the UA entrance exam for their school. Then a highly respective average high school in the area. I even applied to basic studies in UA as well.

I felt that one question was going to destroy my future, just as it had my past. I did everything else in others tabs  as I couldn't bring myself to submit my application. It seemed pointless to with my answer. It made sense that you don't want a felon's child in a he or school. Why make your enemy stronger, with possible secrets and education. For all they know I could be getting information for my parents. I could even become a villian myself one day. I managed to bring myself to click the button but I lost all motivation afterwards.

That Friday rolled around and I still felt no motivation. I picked up my bag  ready to go visit my parents in prison. They were looking at bale at this point  so I knew my college fund will be back at zero. "I'm gonna head out," I told Izuku. Once we were both doing the same task All Might didn't show up every day. It was understandable, he had his own life to live.

"Ji-chan, wait a sec," he said  setting down the piece of trust he was lugging. "You've been down since we studied together. Is there something going on? I can see if I can help." He was always willing to lend a hand. I was glad he was my friend. But for this problem  neither of us could do a thing.

"There's nothing you can do," I told him with a sigh. I've wanted to cry since I checked that box. The dam finally broke and salty drops created creeks down my face. "On the UA application they asked if anyone in your family committed a crime..." I sobbed knowing he could figure out part of it. "I won't get in. Who wants a villain's kid in a hero school." I needed to gasp for hair between sentences. "It hurts, knowing my dream can't come true. But it's not like I had accepted it before. I accepted it in that ally and every day since. Until seven months the ago. That one question makes this all seem so pointless." I gripped onto my shoulders for dear life, shaking as I cried.

Izu-kun's came and gave me a hug. That was all he could do. That was all either of us could do. I wouldn't make it into UA. I couldn't be hero. I couldn't help people. "Show them wrong," my friend told me once I started crying. I looked at him confused. "Show them the best you can be. Get the best score on the exam. Be the hero I know you can be. If they don't see that through the choices your parents made, then that's their problem."

I smirked, thinking of all the flaws in his reasoning. I knew what he was saying though. Work hard and do my best. I'm good enough to get into the school. I need to be better than good enough though to shine past the darkness veil of my parents. I couldn't be good enough. I needed to be extraordinary. I need to put everything I had into it. I would be a hero.
