My Hero Academia: A Hero's Will

Chapter 15

I sat among my classmates as the rest of the fights followed.

The next battle was between Todoroki and Tokoyami. Both were strong fighters with very strong quirks. I leaned forward in anticipation.

As the battle began, both sent their attacks towards each other. It was over before anyone could think. Dark Shadow tried to manoeuvre around the ice but was quickly frozen, along with Tokoyami. Todoroki had created a massive mountain of ice that went beyond the top of the stadium itself. How did I know that? Because it was inches away from my face.

I was quite surprised. I hadn't even thought of such an outcome. Todoroki was frighteningly fast with his quirk.

With Tokoyami being completely immobilized, Todoroki was declared the winner. Among all the cheering, I saw Todoroki defrost his own ice with his left hand and free Tokoyami. I didn't know why, but something about him was really sad.

My next opponent was decided. But I was adamant on doing what I had promised. If he held back, if he didn't use his fire quirk, I would beat him without using my quirk in a very humiliating way.

The next battle was between Ashido and the rude boy from class 1-B, Monoma Neito.

I really wanted to face him in battle and put him in his place but I didn't want Ashido to lose. Each and every classmate of mine was capable in their own way. Plus, the girl was so bubbly and cute! Ever seen a cute girl sad, or worse, cry? Trust me when I say it's impossible to ignore. You have to be a fucking psycho if that doesn't melt your heart.

I really wanted to know what quirk Monoma had. Luckily for me, Kendo was passing by with an energy drink in her hand and was looking in my direction.

I waved to her and asked, "Hey, Kendo-san! Could you tell me what Monoma's quirk is?"

She was a little startled when I suddenly asked the question. But she immediately recovered, her face lit up and she smiled as she sat in the empty seat beside me, previously occupied by Ashido.

"Monoma's quirk? It's called 'Mimic'. He can copy anyone's quirk with a simple touch. Although it only lasts for a few minutes."

I nodded thoughtfully as Present Mic introduced Ashido and Monoma. Turning towards Kendo, I asked, "Any idea who's quirk he has mimicked?"

She slowly shook her head as she replied while looking below as the signal was given for the battle to begin, "He had something planned already. He's very clever and since I was in your team for cavalry battle, he avoided sharing his strategy with anyone."

I raised an eyebrow as I said, "He seems very petty, and resentful."

Kendo giggled and nodded, "It's more because of what Tetsutetsu told him after your class was crowded by other first years a week ago. Tetsutetsu told us that you all were very arrogant and felt that you were superior to others. A boy even called them extras. So Monoma made it his goal to show your class that 1-B isn't any less."

I sighed as I said in an annoyed tone, "Must have been Katsuki. He has a very explosive personality, much like his quirk. Also, he has a little superiority complex."

Katsuki heard me talking about him and snarled from his seat, "What did you say you fucking shit?!"

I looked back at him and said to Kendo, "Look at him. His face is almost always twisted into a scowl. Only a mother could love that face."

Kendo spat out her drink as she laughed while holding her abdomen. Katsuki snarl again as he shat profanities from his mouth. Everyone around us just ignored him and laughed.
