You exited the changing room having changed into your PE kit, you found these clothes slightly better than the school uniform, more stylised. You tried to get changed at the speed of light to avoid conversation but the girls had you cornered and they introduced themselves to you. You shuddered at the memory, the worst part was that Ashido thought it was a good idea to strike up this conversation while you were shirtless.

"Alright," Aizawa spoke, gaining the attention of the class, "today we'll be sparring in pairs without quirks." You heard a mixture of groans and cheers erupt around you. You weren't ecstatic towards the idea of having to touch someone else but you'd just have to lump it.

He began listing off the pairs and you ended up having to spar against Aizawa. 'Great, so I'm probably about to have my ass handed to me.' You groaned at the thought, you were far from helpless in a fight but against the hero Eraserhead? Your hopes were not high. Everyone separated into their pairs.

"Can't get enough of me Aizawa?" You teased slyly, walking towards the raggedy man as he towered over you. "I'm flattered but I'd rather go up against someone that I actually stand a chance of beating." You held your hands up in a shrug before moving them up into a defensive position in front your face and extend your right leg slightly behind you and unlock your knees.

"I want to see you fight before I pair you with someone in the class, but don't worry I won't end the fight too soon." Woah, that was first time that you've heard him sound cocky and it fully set in just how screwed you were, "Now come at me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"They're still going at it?!" Kaminari exclaimed in disbelief at Kirishima who's gaze was fixed on yours and Aizawa's figures much like the rest of the class'. They observed as you managed to dodge Aizawa's swift attacks and even counter, no one having the clear upper hand in the fight. Your movements were sharp and flexible, your body flowed like water and your jabs were precise, never missing.

Bakugo stood with his hands shoved into the depths of his pockets and scowled, he definitely had some new competition and the fact that he was none the wiser about your quirk infuriated him further. Todoroki was impressed at your agile movements, he watched silently as his classmates let out oohs and ahs cheering you both on.

Aizawa managed to land an especially powerful hit on the side of your ribs that sent you flying back. However, you quickly returned to your feet to meet him as he barrelled towards you. Just when he got close you swivelled left, placed your hand on his nape and pushed his head downwards before lifting you leg over him and you swing it right back down on the back of his head, making face plant the floor.

"Woah! That was one of Wingdom's signature moves!" Midoriya squeaked in excitement at seeing it in person. Unluckily, you heard him and you froze at the mention of your mother and left ample opportunity for Aizawa to grab your ankle and pull the only limb you were standing on out from under you and your back met the floor with a hard slam, knocking the wind out of you.

"Better than I thought you'd be (Y:N), I'm impressed. You obviously have some experience. Class dismissed." He nodded in satisfaction, watching as you sat up and wiped your sweaty forehead. It was then that the class noticed that apart from some smears of dirt, a couple of hairs out of place and your flushed cheeks there were no signs of your previous scuffle. No bruises, scratches nor bumps, your skin was as perfect as a doll's.

"Huh? How the hell did you get out of that fight completely uninjured?!" Bakugo yelled and stepped closer to inspect your face.

"Magic." You rolled your eyes and walked past him without paying him a second glance which really ticked him off.

"Don't ignore me you bitch!" He yelled, his fists clenched and he stomped towards you. You felt him grip your shoulder and forcefully turn you around and you stared at him impassively. "ANSWER ME DAMMIT!"

"Use that brain of yours, short fuse." He bared his teeth at the nickname you gave him. "It's my quirk." You stated matter of factly.

"We were supposed to fight without our quirks idiot!" Were you not paying attention when Aizawa explained the lesson? What made you so special that you didn't have to follow the rules?

"It's not something I can just turn off." You gritted your teeth, turned and stalked off not wanting to have to listen to his shouts any longer. You were internally berating yourself for your mistake during your match with Aizawa.

All Midoriya did was mention her and you completely froze! How emotional and weak were you? You thought you were over this but it was now apparently clear that you weren't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Up. Do it again." Your mother ordered you sternly her voice leaving no room for arguments, so you forced yourself to stand back up on your sore feet. The room was starting to spin and you were dizzy and tired but you pushed all that aside, releasing a breath before charging towards her.

However, you didn't last long before you were smacked to the floor and you let out a cry of pain. You curled in on yourself tears beginning to form in your eyes. "Get up." You paid her words no mind as the pain and exhaustion consumed your entire being, when suddenly a hand grabbed your hair and pulled you from the floor. Your hands immediately flew to the one planted in your hair and you screamed, writhing in pain.

"Are seriously going to cry? Heroes don't cry (Y:N), only the weak cry." You let out a lame gasp as her grip tightened "Well are you?!" She yelled.

"No! Crying is for the weak!" You shouted hoping to appease her. She just clicked her tongue and let you go. You crumpled to the floor, your breathing was uneven and heavy. You listened as her footsteps echoed around the room before the door slammed and darkness took over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You almost felt guilty using her technique but it worked and you always had to win, even though you didn't in the end due to your emotions taking over your body.

'Next time, I won't lose.'
