It was a normal day, bright sun shining across my face as I followed four other people. One, being the leader, said, " We're here!". The group came to a stop. Then we looked in front of the leader. We had made it to the playground, it's normally where we'll go to spend some time.

The playground wasn't as bare today. There more kids here than last time, the previous, and the one time after that. Playful cheers and screams of kids playing tag, sliding downsides, and what seemed to be extreme hide and seek.

Our leader got irritated, then slamming his fist and palm together creating a tiny explosion. It was like a clan battle, mainly because there were multiple groups. We should all fight to the death!


More or less quirk show off than fight to the death. We would have a cool trick we could do with our quirks and if we have the best trick, we win the playground. We do this every time everyone's here.

It's wasn't out of the ordinary that our leader would win with his amazing quirk. If he didn't, however, He'd come back next time stronger than ever.

But today came a difference. The kids stood their ground against our leader, saying that he can't go up this time. And to put the cherry on top, they said I had to.

I was frightened. I had a quirk but restricted from using it since I don't know how to use it.

" You better not fuck this up Deku." He told me, walking past me then pushing me in the spotlight. I had to duel against a boy that has a smirk. " This is gonna be easy."

He walked over to a light pole, touched it with his hands and the light pole turned on. He got a lot of positive reactions. " Alright, whatcha got?" He asked, arms crossed.

I hesitated, it's just a playground. There are multiple other places we could go to. I don't need to break my rule.

"What's wrong? Don't gotta quirk?" one of the kids asked. I shook my head. " That's not it. I-I'm just not allowed t-to use my quirk."

A laugh came from around. They thought I was just scared. I got red, blood red. Out of anger, I yelled," S-Shut up!"

Suddenly, blood started to emit out my body. It covered kids around me. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt, but I felt weak. Everything began to go dark. I dropped to the floor, the blood stopped. Before I was closed my eyes, I heard a scream. It wasn't the others, but a certain one I couldn't figure out.

That same incident still haunts me during my sleep, the constant awareness of my quirk suddenly going berserk again. I know it won't kill me, but it can hurt others.

The reason, why it won't kill me, is that it has a cap limit, that I can decrease and exceed, which is 20% of my blood.

I called my quirk Withdraw. I'm able to take blood from my body and use it in any way.

I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I wonder what to do with my quirk. Hero work was the most ideal for me. But I'm not sure about the entrance exam.

My minds everywhere right now, I thought. I then decided to go outside and clear my mind.



It wasn't long until I saw a crowd, then fumes went into the air. It was smoke. I ran through the crowd to see the action. Not too long ago, I saw a giant villain and Mount lady took the final blow to take it down. I kinda thought it was unnecessary to take someone's capture but it is what it is.

After getting to the front, the excitement I had gone to grief. I saw the heroes being forced to be passive due to the large slime villain held a person hostage. The first thought was, Where is All Might? Nowhere to be seen. He's the symbol of peace so he should be here.
