IM Not You!

Chapter 24

Izuku's POV

I was on my way to our classroom while silently praying that Aizawa-Sensei was already inside the room. I was planning on skipping school today but Touya threatens to lock me out from my armory if he found out I skipped. As I stand outside the classroom, I can hear the loud voice of Iida telling everyone to take their sits and the other chattering voices. I'm not ready to face the music yet and I will continue standing outside until Aizawa-Sensei arrives. However, it seems I don't have to wait for much longer. 

Aizawa's head was like a mummy with all the covers. I don't even know if he could see clearly but from the way he stopped beside me, he could clearly see just fine. I open the door and entered the room with Aizawa behind me. I didn't look at anyone but I can feel some eyes watching me as I make my way to my seat. The others were busy checking up on our teacher. 

As the class finally settled down, Aizawa informed us that the battle was not over yet. At first, I thought he meant that another villain attack was gonna happen like some of my classmates but I didn't expect it to mean something else.

"UA's Sports Festival is approaching." 

UA's Sports Festival is one of the biggest events in the country. I watch a few of them before and it was always something people talked about. The Sports Festival was a double edge sword to me. All eyes would be watching the event which means a lot of attention would be on those participating. I want to avoid that kind of attention if I can but seeing that I'm in the school's Hero course and the class that survived a real villain attack, I don't think it's possible for me.

Most of the class was showing a different kind of worry that a possible villain attack may happen but Aizawa reassured us that security will be five-time bigger than normal which was good to know. 

"The Heroes around the country will surely be watching since from what I heard it's a chance for us to be scouted in the future" Yaoyorozu informed.

I also would like to avoid that as well if I can. 

"Getting the attention of famous Heroes will give you a higher chance of getting more standing and experience and remember, you only have three chances of getting yourself be known through the Sports Festival so make them count. If you want to be a hero then don't underestimate this chance" Aizawa informed.

If I want to be a hero,

Do I still want to be one?

It seems it's more trouble than it's worth.

(Time Skip_ :D )

- Lunch Break -

Most of the class was excited about the upcoming Sports Festival. Even Iida was showing his excitement. I really do wish I could share their joy but have a life with some complicated secrets was something I tend to worry about. 

As I prepared myself to go out and head out to the cafeteria, I found myself suddenly wrapped by strong white tape. I looked beside me and saw Sero giving me an apologetic face. Beside him were the smiling faces of Ashido, Kaminari, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu. 

"Sorry about this Yagi but Mina asked me to do this. She cant resist gossips" Sero apologized.

It seems it was good to be true. I thought they forgot about it with news of the Sports Festival. 

I looked around the room and found that aside from Bakugo, everyone was still in the room. Even the anti-social Shoto Todoroki was still in his seat. Tenya Iida was even just standing there and not lecturing them about what they are doing. 

Accepting my fate, I asked them what they want to know. The sooner I answer, the sooner I can eat.

"Are All Might and Metis really your parents?" Jiro asked.

"Yes," I answered.

"Why wasn't it in any news that All Might had a son?" Ashido asked.

"Protection reason"

"Why does it look like you don't want to be in the same room as All Might? If he's your Dad then shouldn't you be happy?" Hagakure asked.

I didn't expect anyone to ask that. I know that one or two may notice it but I always thought they would somehow respect the privacy of others. I guess I was naive to think that way. 

"Yagi?" Jiro asked.

"Guys, we shouldn't force him to tell us if he doesn't want to" Uraraka reasoned.

"I want to know as well. It's weird since he's a hero and the number one at that" said Kaminari.

They were starting to annoy me. They talk as if being the son of a hero immediately means everything's perfect. They continue to talk and speculate reasons as to why they find it odd for me to act the way I do around my father who I should be proud of since he's the number one hero. The more they assume, the more I want to rip the tape around me and shove it on their mouth. 

Soon they were calling for me to answer. My two friends Iida and Uraraka were trying to reason with the few people that won't stop asking. 

"We're not on speaking term!!" I shouted.

The annoying chatter stopped. I couldn't stand it anymore. 

"Just because he's the number one hero doesn't mean he's the greatest father!"

I summon a knife and cut the tape from the inside. I should have cut the damn tape in the first place to avoid all of this. Everybody was wary of me from my outburst. I don't blame them and I'm thankful my quirk didn't go out of control.

Once I was free, I walk outside and to the lunchroom. 

I ordered a few foods and sat down on an empty table by myself. It was calming, being by myself. There was nobody to bother or tell me how great it should be to have a father like mine. 

When the lunch break was over, I decided to skip afternoon classes and head to the  Guidance Counselor's office. Maybe talking to a Profesional can help.

I walk to the office and when I was about to knock, the door open and Hound Dog stood there. He was staring at me like a hunter watching his prey. I greeting him and he asked me to come in. I sat down and told him if it was possible to schedule counseling for at least once or twice a week. 

"Why do you need counseling!?" he growled.

I took a deep breath since it's hard to admit that you need help sometimes and answered,

"I'm having problems controlling one of my quirks since it seems to be affected by my emotions. The stronger I feel about something, the more effect it has on my Manipulation quirk."

"Very well, we'll set it up to twice a week after school starting next week. You're free to come to me if you are having any problems this week, understand?" he growled again.

I thank him and left his office. I didn't go back to class just yet instead, I went outside where several trees stood and sat down beside one. It was one of the things I like to do to relax. Missing one afternoon class won't hurt too much. The only people who might be angry or lecture me about it are Iida, Aizawa, or All Might since I'll only be missing my father's class today.

About an hour later, I decided to go back to the classroom to grab my things. As I was walking, I pass by a few students who seems nice since they would greet me and I greet them back. 

As I entered the room, it was no surprise, empty. They might in another location doing some training but it doesn't matter to me right now. I grab my belongings and made my way outside. Since it was the last class of the day, I decided to just go home to rest for a while and continue making some weapons with my quirk. I was running low with some bullets and I need to make a mountain load of it.
