Chapter 8: Perspective

Izuku you have rejected the power of your idol thus beginning the process of the next tie to be destroyed. 

Flashback

I grew up in an area where heroes were prevalent not one person didn't aspire to become a hero. The quirkless were segregated or worse, I was one of the lucky ones I was born with a quirk but I was known as the weakest one. I figured out the power of my quirk but it didn't give me traditional power but it gave the power of influence. I used this to my advantage, I quickly gained friends and allies who would of never spoken to me otherwise. It would not last as the figure that arrived had power in its truest form. He rained flames and liquid fire from the air  few stood against him but those who did died quickly. The heroes of the time were strong but not enough against this monster. I knew I had no chance but my power had grown it was strong in my own way but nowhere near his power. He read the stories of the past and heard of many strong heroes who nearly defeated the evil they now faced. He knew his allies had a power to go back but they had grown weak in their age. 

Present

Izuku was prepared he had managed to get a hold of his new power and found combos between his other powers. Unfortunately he still hadn't tapped into the power he knew was there, it irritated him and he had taken some time to himself after all he still had yet to have the funeral for his mother. It was a tough time for him and at the funeral his class had shown up to see how he was. He hated that they saw him like this. He had been a mess of tears and anger during the funeral, his family none existent as his father had been gone for as long as he could remember. Izuku had only known that Kacchan and the Bakugo family had become his legal guardians as per his mother's will. 

The time for the tournament had come the first round ended up being an obstacle race, Izuku knew he wasn't fast but he had to win. The match would begin soon and he could feel the intensity of the others Todoroki looked almost livid but focused, Bakugo was ready and just stretching thinking he would be the winner. The timer began counting down, there was a minute until it began Izuku was ready but had yet to figure out how to out speed the others. The time was almost down. 

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...GO 

As soon as it began there was ice on the ground and it had gotten many of the students stuck to the ground. Todoroki was gone and was continuing forward the rest of class 1-A not far behind him Bakugo being the only one who was gaining significant ground. Izuku looked down and unleashed a shockwave to break the ice that had made him stuck to the ground. He quickly ran after the others but he knew he was far behind. He knew he would be able to catch up cause he had gotten an idea after his escape from the ice. Izuku aimed at the ground and began charging his shockwaves in his arms and legs and suddenly released the energy, he quickly was sent flying and he felt the pain beginning in his arms and legs but he had to fight through it.  

Izuku was in the air and saw a pit filled with random pillars with lines of wires holding them together. Izuku was unsure where he was going to land exactly but he began trying to aim towards one of the pillars he couldn't use another big shockwave right now or he knew he would destroy his limbs but several quick small shockwaves wouldn't damage him. His plan mostly worked he landed at the edge of a pillar but he quickly grabbed at the pillar and found a hand hold. He slowly climbed up and laid there breathing heavily unsure of who was near whether he had made enough distance but he was just happy to not fall into the pit. He heard an announcement that claims he had just flown by everyone and was currently in the lead but not by too much. 

Izuku got up and could feel the muscles in his arms and legs screaming in pain but he continued on but slower than he would of liked. he managed to get to the other side but Todoroki and Bakugo had gotten close they were already 3/4 of the way through the pit obstacle but Izuku just kept going as fast as he could. Not long after getting to the third obstacle did he feel his legs give out screaming for a break. Izuku began falling forward and before landing saw what the obstacle was and he prepared for the impact. There was an explosion and he was sent flying into the air pain now screaming from his whole body. He had been sent flying forward but was still far from the end of the obstacle and then he saw Bakugo and Todoroki not long behind him he knew he had no chance to beat them at this time but by a pure force of will he got up and began limping towards the end and as soon as he was past by Todoroki and Bakugo he felt himself losing his will to win. 

Izuku fell his knees and looked ready to give up, his eye lids falling and his body limp. Then he felt it the desire to prove that he could be the best, he got up and began walking more and quickly began releasing multiple quick shockwves but quickly felt the dirt hit his face as he fell and knew he would have to do it in one swift movement. Izuku began charging his lightning power that he had come to call "Blighted Lightning". When he released it he felt himself move across the ground almost as if he were gliding until he reached where Bakugo and Todoroki were they turned their heads towards the boy who smiled half halfheartedly before zooming by them the end was coming up fast and Izuku's body was giving out it was getting closer and closer.

50 meters....25 meters......10 meters......5 meters......2 meters.....

That was as far as he got in the burst until he was down on the ground struggling to move. There were burn marks all over his legs and arms where the lightning had been, Izuku barely conscious began crawling. "I.... HAVE...... TO....... WIN......" Todoroki and Bakugo were not far behind and closing the distance fast. Izuku was now only half a meter away and the others were now within 50 meters. Izuku got across the finish line and a second later Todoroki and Bakugo crossed. 

Izuku was quickly brought to the infirmary and the next event was announced for an hour while Izuku and a few other were in the infirmary. The next event would be announced when all competitors were there in the time until then they would begin socializing mainly with those within their own class.
