Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 5 - How far I will not go

It was the first day of school.

Shinsou took a deep breath, and tried to calm his nerves.

His first day in UA. Hopefully, the students here would be nicer than those in his previous schools. All his life, he had been called a villain. The horrible laughter and mocking that all he could be was a villain filled his mind, and Shinsou tried his best to shut them out.

He had a new life now. Much better parents, and a true friend in Iida Tenya, the younger brother of a friend of his parents. He had kept his original last name, as a reminder that things had changed, and he wasn't going to let anything from the first nine years of his life affect him now. Not to mention Aizawa was his homeroom teacher and Yamada was his english teacher, and they couldn't exactly call him by his first name without giving their connection away.

His life had gotten much better after he had met that hooded vigilante. He had run away from home after a particularly bad beating, to escape the pain for a little while, but had somehow ended up in a back alley and had almost gotten killed for running into someone by accident.

He didn't even get a hint of who the mysterious boy in a hoodie who saved his life. All he knew was that the boy called himself Void, which wasn't very helpful at all since it was probably his vigilante name and not his real name, and that he had no quirk. Heck, he didn't even know what colour eyes and hair the vigilante had; it had been too dark at the time so even make any features out. Plus, he could be lying about being quirkless, but Shinsou honestly doubted it.

Once he trusted his new parents enough, he had told them, only for Yamada to nod and say that the vigilante did say that he was quirkless.

The vigilante had helped him get back home, and even promised to help him out of the abusive hellhole he lived in. And true to his word, the very next day, he was saved by an underground hero by the name of Aizawa Shouta who ended up adopting him, and raised him with the help of Yamada Hizashi.

He hadn't even had the chance to thank the vigilante before he had run off that night. He really needed to find some way to seek him out and thank him for saving his life properly. Maybe someday he'll be able to find him again.

"Still thinking about Void?" Aizawa asked, as he stopped next to Shinsou, waiting for him so that they could make their way into school. Yamada had hopped off at a coffee shop and would be coming in later, and Aizawa wanted to make sure that his own kid wasn't late, even though they were there fifteen minutes before the first bell was even set to go off.

Shinsou sighed, and Aizawa just pat him on the back, "Don't worry about it, Hitoshi. Even most of the heroes have only seen him once."

"I never even got to say thank you."

Aizawa shrugged, "Void is a kid around your age. You'll probably have a chance to find him again. Now, shoo, get to class. I don't want to expel my kid on the first day."

Shinsou gave a mock gasp in shock and horror, "You wouldn't."

"I expelled everyone last year. I would." Aizawa rolled his eyes, and Shinsou just snorted as he ran into UA.

"I'm still surprised that Yoarashi kid rejected his invitation to UA." Kayama muttered, "He seemed pretty enthusiastic the last time we saw him."

"Who had Midoriya in their class?" Snipe asked, "I'm curious."

"I do." Yamada spoke up, "Why?"

"Dunno. He seems like an interesting kid." Snipe shrugged, picking up his stack of papers, "We should get going to our classes now."
