I stared at the paper in my hands the word FAILED written in in red. I unawarely crumpled up the letter of importance as I felt my heart sink. 'What would All Might say if he saw this?' Now I had an useless dream and an useless quirk. Kacchan's words echoed in my head: "Go take a swan dive off the roof!" I shook my head in disagreement, 'Izuku that would just make things worse...damn it.'

I dragged my bruised body back to my room, slamming my body onto my bed in defeat. 'You told me I could do it All Might. You said that I could pass the test. But I failed.' I thought, staring at the oversized poster on my wall boasting the neon kanji for All Might. I smiled despite my sadness, a weird habit of mine.

'I finally get a quirk and what do I do? Break my arms. Break your arms in front of some of the best pro heroes. I already know what they think of me: Nobody, not one person in the world would want a hero that has a power that's side affect is to leave an area smelling like the insides of a scorched human.' I looked over my shoulder, not wanting to look at the All Might merchandise plastered across my room. I slid off my bed, wrinkling the sheets. The sound of ripping cardstock bounced around the walls of my small room. Filling my ears with the saddening sound. I shoved all the hero figurines off my bedside table, landing on the hard wood floor with a loud thump.

I felt myself breath in fast to avoid laughing. A painful scratchy laugh escaped my lips as I realized I was talking to my self. I put my hand over my eyes, trying to calm myself down. "Izuku it's ok. All Might will understand UA is one of the hardest hero schools to get into. It'll be ok." I gritted my teeth as I slowly broke down. Tears began running all over my face. "No it won't he won't understand." I covered my teary eyes, "Nobody understands..."

"Mom I'm going out. I'll be back soon kay?" My mother nodded I turned to head away, suddenly as I grabbed the door knob my mother's voice rang out, "Izuku..." I turned to face her,"Yeah mom?" A worried look was plastered onto her worn out face. "Please be careful dangerous villains have been really active lately. Please call me if you feel intimidated in any way ok Izuku?", I flashed her a weak smile,"Okay." The moment I made it outside the door I felt a weird sence of foreboding, tingling at the back of my mind. I shrugged it off as just a weird affect of my anxiety building up if I ever faced Kacchan again.

I made my way into a local but rather popular coffee shop. It was a place where a depressed teenager wouldn't stand out amongst the sleep deprived college students and worn out parents. I ordered the first thing that caught my eye, a white iced tea. It was rather expensive (and definitely not as good as their coffee) but I wasn't exactly in the mood to care about money. The only thing that was on my mind was facing All Might with my failure.

As i felt my worries overflow with each sip of tea. I began to get the suspicion someone was watching me. As I started to get up from my chair to leave the small cafe an icy cold hand grabbed my shoulder. I flinched at the intense way it was gripping my collarbone. The hand rubbed violently against my white shirt. I let myself shutter, disturbed as a raspy voice spoke in a chillingly quiet manner, "Midoriya, Izuku right?"
