BREAKDOWN

Fandom: My Hero Academia

Ki Himosa had a useless quirk- it was verbal and relatively stupid. It wasn't like Hitoshi's- his best friend- who could control minds with a sound from his enemies lips. But it held the same power, so yeah, they both ended up in General Education through the exam.

That was, until the sports festival came- Ki had asked Hitoshi to brainwash him the whole way through, until the obstacle course was over. Then Hitoshi asked if he was really okay with it. Ki barely got out a single syllable before his eyes went blank.

When he woke from his stupor, he was across the finish line. Which was awesome, by all accounts- yeah, he was third to the cut off, but he'd made it through.

He breezed through the Calvert Battle, teaming up with Hitoshi again, with his free will and sweet talking.

Then the dreaded One on One battles came, but Ki had a plan. He would use his quirk.

And unlucky him, his first enemy was a class 1A jerk- so this would be difficult. His purple eyes seemed to glow, only for a moment though, his opponent was fast. Though that was obvious by the engines attached to his legs. He was speeding toward Ki.

Ki just opened his mouth and spoke, it took the generational hero about three seconds to break down crying.

"Seriously, your quirk is cool Hitoshi, I blame that Midorkiya guy for your loss. Then again... " Ki started.

"If you just took my offer on training," He wiggles his eyebrows in a valid effort to make his friend smile. It works.

"H-hey! Wait up!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear, Izuku Midoriya, an adorable child in Ki's eyes, one with determined eyes and an endearing smile.

The closer he comes the more he looks like a literal angel.

"How- how'd you defeat Iida like that! Y-you only s-said something! That-that was s-so c-co-cool."

"Thanks- Midorkiya, was it? Names Himosa. Himosa Ki."

"Midoriya Izuku!"

Hitoshi sighs so loud it's more like a groan.

"O-oh! Hello again Shinsou."

"’Sup."

The conversation only deepened from that point, and by the time it was over, Ki had a new friend and so did Hitoshi.

Ki was shitting his pants right now. He was probably sweating more than his opponent who quirk was litterly dependent on sweat. He gulp, figiting as the Bakugou Katsuki walks into the ring across from his shaking form.

The blonde scuffs his feet in a muffled sort of anger.

Should Ki probably give up now? Yeah.

Is he going to? Nope. He's come too far to give up now- besides, all he has to do is known how to manage time properly when Blasty on the other end does get lost in his own thoughts.

Despite the dread that's crawling up his spine and the tension in his shoulders, Ki steps in the ring with shaking hands and stiff legs. The explosive teen on the other end just scowls. Red eyes slits, he's almost hissing at Ki's cowardice.

But Ki takes a deep breath, and his eyes glow. Or they would be, had there not been dust in them.

"Hah! You really think I'm that stupid, don't look down at me!"

And Ki takes a deep breath. Preparing his words very carefully, because if he says this with the wrong tone he could end up in Recovery Girl's office and he really doesn't want to end up there.

He ruffles his orange hair, fear stammering in his chest. He'd already known what to say- he just didn't get the perfect wording.

"I'm not looking down on you, Bakugou, we're equals, after all."

At these words, the taller teen goes into a shock of sorts, his mouth goes dry and his head is all over the place. His mind whirring with staic and reputation. We're equals. Equal. Equal- equalequalequal. The words repeat in his head and by the time he's done mulling them over, he's put of the ring and he's in second place.

Equal. Equal. Equal. We're equals.

There's only one question in his mind: what the fuck just happened?

_

Ki won first place and he has absolutely no goddamn idea how the hell it happened. He went up again Bakugou Katsuki. The rightful owner of the title he was holding at the very moment. His anxiety doesn't stop when Bakugou continues glaring at him. Rage seething in his firey eyes. He keeps glaring.

"Good job, young Himosa! I hope to see you become an excellent hero in the future."

Ki looks with awed eyes.

"Thank you, All Might-sensei! I'll try my hardest!"

Then he's brought back to reality when the explosive blonde next to him gets the silver metal with a scowl.

Shit. Ki's going to die, isn't he? Well as his preschool teachers had taught him, sayanora. Goodbye forever. He'd had a good run in the life he had and as he walks down the stage a feeling of peace that only comes with knowing you're going to die embraces himー

"What the hell's your quirk extra?!"

"U-uh, it's kind of stupidー no it's really stupid."

Bakugou persists. Voice raising every time he repeats a word.

"OK, OK, I get it. Since my quirk is a mutation, I gave it a name myself."

"Well the fuck is it?"

"W-well, I call it no-remorse." Ki cleats his throat and scratches his cheeks. "I can't basically know what to say to break someone down."

And it all makes sense just now.

Durring the course of the next few weeks, Ki and Hitoshi had been offered two spots in 1A. The two students who had been transferred were Mineta Monrou and Hakagure Toru-

〔I actually like both of these, don't @ me, Mineta's not actually that bad personality wize, just needs to drink some more respecc wamen juice.〕

- who were both transfered to GenEd.

And so begins the misadventures of Ki Himosa begin.
