Worthless

Worthless.

Worthless.

Those echoing words rung through his head as he was led onto the stage. Memories of his childhood always flooded back to him at the worst time. And what worse time would there be than being auctioned off to a random stranger?

"A sleigh beggy? So he's quirkless."

"Learning about magic is nothing like being born handling it."

"But they hold some magic in them, right?"

"They don't have a quirk, so they can't use it without help, it could easily kill them. But it'd be fun while it lasted, eh?"

"But look at how plain he looks!"

"Still, it's so rare to get your hands on a sleigh beggy these days! He'll sell for a pretty penny."

His only worth was the price he was selling for.

Izuku, or "Deku" as others often called him, was done with life. He had given up on everything- like everyone else gave up on him. So, he decided to sell himself, to find a place to call home, even if just for a little while.

"Starting at 500,000."

"1,000,000!"

The prices climbed higher and higher, each person more greedy than the last. He didn't care what happened. He just wanted a home.

Who knows what his owner would do to him? He was giving up all freedom- turning into someone else's property. Someone's stupid little toy to throw out once they got bored with him. Just a useless pawn.

Useless.

"Hey, Izuku! I got a new name for you! Deku! It means useless, so it's really fitting for you."

"You're quirkless. You have zero potential."

"This is why no one likes you, Deku."

Those were the last words he ever heard from Katsuki Bakugou, before Izuku stopped showing up to school.

And they were true, weren't they?

The bidding was about to be over. His fate was about to be decided. Where would he go home to? Those were the thoughts racing through Izuku Midoriya's head, until a sudden voice snapped him back to his painful reality.

"5,000,000."

"I'll be taking him home with me."

Angry voices rose from the crowd as the cloaked man grabbed Izuku by the hand and lead him backstage.

"Hey! That ain't fair! He can't just do that!"

"Stupid guards, do something about this!"

"That bitch! That sleigh beggy should've been mine!"

Distraught faces stared at where the man used to be. Once Izuku and the mysterious figure were out of sight, he lifted his cloak to reveal his face. "I am..."

"Going to make you my apprentice!"

"A-a-a-ALL MIGHT?!"

so. I did a thing

I am going to make this pretty similar to Ancient Magus Bride but make some things different. If you're confused, basically in this world there's magic everywhere. If you have a "quirk" you are a mage and you can handle magic. But if you're "quirkless" then you're a sleigh beggy, you have magic that you can't release without consequences. It would take a lot to make a sleigh beggy useful.

I'll probably post art of this on my tumblr, moustiique

Todoroki will probably be introduced in the next 2-3 chapters

Thanks for reading!
