Victory or Defeat

Izuku POV

I.M: This is a super human society with 80% of us possessing some uncanny ability. Cities swirled with chaos and confusion following the appearance of these powers and a new profession emerged, we call those who fight for justice and help others in need, heroes. Oh, by the way this is the story of how I became the world's greatest hero with my brother. (Play)

Me and Shinso walk forward.

"Welcome to the first match of the finals tournament. It's Izuku Midoriya from the hero course, versus, Hitoshi Shinso from general studies! The rules are simple. Immobilze your opponent ir force them outta the ring! You can also win by getting the other person to cry uncle."

"So you can just give up, huh? In a way, this is a test of how strong your spirit is. If you know what you want your future to hold for you, you can't worry about what other people think." He narrows his eyes.

"Ready?"

"That monkey was going on about his pride earlier."

"Begin!"

"But I just think he's an idiot for throwing away his chance like that." I gasp then growl walking forward.

"Don't you talk about Ojiro that way, you hear me?" I start to run then stop.

Reader POV

I see Zuku frozen and sigh.

"I warned him not to say anything!"

"I did too, Ojiro." He looks at me. "But what can you do with him, that idiot." I smile.

"Huh?! Hey, hey, what's the dealio? This is the first match! It should start out with a bang! The fight has just begun and Izuku Midoriya is...completely frozen! He's not moving a muscle! And what's with that look on his face? Could this be a Quick at work? Hitoshi Shinso seems to have Izuku Midoriya completely stunned! He didn't stand out in the first rounds at all, but it's possible Shinso's crazy powerful! Who could've imagined this turn of events? That's the Festival for ya!"

No One POV

"This is a perfect example of why the entrance exam isn't rational."

"Huh? Why's that?"

"Since we're on to the individual matches, I had some information compiled about our final competitors. Shinso failed the practical exam to get into the hero course. Since he also applied for general studies, he probably figured that would happen. His Quirk is incredibly strong, but that entrance test consisted of fighting faux villains. Robots. It gave a huge advantage to those who had physical superpowers they could show off. Despite his abilities, Shinso never stood a chance at passing."

Izuku POV

"So here we are. You're lucky to have been so blessed, Izuku Midoriya. Now turn around and walk out of bounds like a good little hero." My body turns walking away.

"Uh, what?! Ah! Midoriya's obeying him! Hitoshi Shinso! His Quirk, Brainwashing! When an opponent answers his question,  it flips a switch in their minds, forcing them to do whatever he says. Not every question does it, though. He only brainwashes when he wants to. Not very flashy."

'What's happening? My body's moving on its own. I feel like my brain is full of fog. I can't concentrate. No! Not like this. Gotta stop! Dammit! I fell for it, even after Ojiro and Y/N warned me about his power. I'm an idiot. This is all my fault!'

Flashback

I gulp.

"So his Quirk is that he can control other people? Can I beat something like that?"
