Another Chance- (Villain to hero Izuku)

13

The next challenge was the tournament fights, and I had to go up against purple hair first. I had to brush off Recovery Girl from healing my burn from Todoroki, saying that I was fine and that it didn't bother me. I had to get Aizawa to convince her that my pain tolerance was high enough for it to not affect me any. I twiddled my thumbs while I waited for the match to start, but a knock at my door caught my attention. 

"Come in!" I yelled. Uraraka, Mina, Denki, Kiri, and Sero all walked into the room, smiling brightly at me. 

"Sorry to bother you, Deku, we just wanted to make sure you were doing alright!" Uraraka smiled, sitting down across from me. 

"I'm fine, I have a plan," I said lazily. 

"Of course you do, and I have no doubt that you'll win!" Kiri yelled. 

"We just wanted to ask you something, we've figured something out and wanted an explanation," Mina smiled. 

"What is it?" I asked, my green eyes locked onto her yellow ones. 

"It's about your quirk, man!" Kami started. 

"We know that Bakugou mocked you for it, with means it's either unusual or lame, maybe even useless. At first, we thought it would be an intelligence-base quirk, but that didn't make sense seeing as you kept it a secret," Uraraka explained, looking down at her hands as she recalled everything they found. 

"You don't use it at all, meaning you're either ashamed of it, which isn't your style, or it really is useless," Kami cut in. "So what is it?" Everyone became quiet as they looked at me. 

"You're right, it's not an intelligence-based quirk, and I have yet to use it. Kacchan did make fun of me for it, but you're a little off. I'll give you a hint. If it's not useless, and I have yet to use it, what could this mean?" Everyone stared at me blankly, trying to process my words. 

"What?" They all asked in unison. I sighed before trying again. 

"Think of Schrödinger's cat. If I don't have a useless quirk, but I also don't use the quirk, then this could mean..." Everyone stayed silent for a moment. 

"Schrödinger?" Kaminari asked in pure confusion and I had to take a deep breath before my blood pressure killed me. 

"You put a cat in a box with harmful traps, you cannot physically see if the cat is dead or alive inside the box, you have no proof of the cat's health, therefore the cat is both dead and alive until proven otherwise. Let's apply this to my quirk, shall we? I have yet to use any quirk, and since you have no proof of my quirk ever-existing, this infers that...?" I explain, basically laying the answer out for them. 

"You... Don't... Have...A... Quirk?" Uraraka asked slowly, unsure of her answer. 

"Yes, exactly, you get it now!" I said sarcastically. Everyone was silent for a long while, their faces frozen in varying degrees of shock. 

"You don't have a quirk!? All this time you've been quirkless?!" Kaminari yelled, and I nodded. 

"Dude! You're top of the class! I got my ass handed to me by a quirkless person!! You kicked all those heroes' asses, including Aizawas, without a quirk!? How did you survive?!" Kirishima asked, rattling off facts. 

"I was trained by high-level villains most of my life, you learn to use what you have," I muttered, looking away from the group as my master came to mind again. 

"Dude! That's so manly! Even without a quirk, you can kick anyone's ass!" Kiri smiled brightly, pounding his fists together in his trademark move. 

"You think being quirkless is manly?" I asked tiredly, eyeing him with hooded eyes. 

"Hell yeah, bro! It show's how much stronger you are compared to us!" He laughed, the others nodding in agreement. I scoffed in surprise, not ready for them to be complementing my disablement.
