Izuku's P.O.V
It was the last day of Junior High for me and the other third years. After today, students would hand in their applications for their desired high schools. I was in my final homeroom of the day, when my sensei walked in and demanded silence. He addressed the class and began handing out high school applications, when he approached Bakugo.
"Ah yes, Bakugo, you're applying to UA, aren't you?" The teacher asked, pragmatically stroking the explosion quirk user's ego.

Bakugo being the egotistical and cocky little brat he is, jumped on top of his desk and proceeded to begin an obnoxious rant.
"Of course I am, old man! I aced the mock exams, I'm the only one in this shitty school who actually stands a chance in getting in somewhere as prestigious as UA!" Shifting his judgmental glare throughout the whole class, his eyes land on me and I instantaneously looked away from his gaze.

No One's P.O.V
The teacher had turned his attention towards Izuku, a smug look appeared on his face.
"Oh yeah, Midoriya... didn't you want to go to UA, as well?" He asked the greenette, knowing of his issue. As the rest of the class erupted from laughter at Midoriya's childish belief, Bakugo's anger towards him was skyrocketing out of control. He knew just as well as anyone else that he wouldn't try anything during class that would risk getting himself into trouble. So, he decided to wait till' after class to teach the quirkless bastard a lesson and did just that.
As soon as class ended, Bakugo and his lackeys stalked his way towards Izuku as he starts to pack up his stuff. As he was about to put his notebook away in his bag, Bakugo snatches it from his hands.
"Hero Analysis for the Future!?! Why the hell would you need this, you damn nerd? You won't ever be a hero!" Without any warning whatsoever, Bakugo used his explosive quirk on Izuku's notebook, nearly burning it and tossing it out the window. Boiling with rage, the explosive blonde placed his hand on the greenette's shoulder and used his quirk to burn it.
"Listen up Deku! Don't apply to UA."
Izuku could deal with the pain and threats from those around him, he's dealt with it for nearly a decade now. What he couldn't even prepare himself to deal with was what came after that.
"Hey, if you really want to be a hero, why don't you just pray for a quirk in the next life and take a swan dive off the roof?"
That statement had shocked Izuku and taken him aback. He had never been told to kill himself in the past, and it was high time that he was gonna defend himself from his 'friends' harsh words.
He stepped forward, and to tell Bakugo off about what he had just told him and about how big of a self-centered, narcissistic asshole he has become. However, one murderous look from the blonde was enough to silence him. As the three boys left the classroom to walk home and make fun of him for his cowardliness and weakness, Izuku was wiping his tears away while packing the rest of his things while attempting to even get his burnt notebook, which was laying in a pile of ash.

Not wanting to face anyone, including his own mother, Izuku decided to take a longer than usual route home, taking some appreciation of the silence that came from it. As he entered the tunnel, he already forgot about today's events that have unraveled and had felt peachy with life now compared to this morning. That was until his moment of clarity was interrupted by a sentient pile of sludge have emerged from a sewer grate.
"Great, a medium sized meat shield! You'll be perfect to hide me." The sludge villain exclaimed as he latched himself onto Izuku. Without warning, the sludge villain shoves mucus down Izuku's throat. As that was happening to him, Izuku was noticing that his vision was in the process of becoming dark, he noticed a shadowy figure that someone was approaching him and the villain.
