“They shot my arms, and my legs, and they took out everyone else,” Tomura hisses out between pained breaths, “but, Sensei, I found him. I found One For All.”
“Well, although we all know each other now, and we know that Midoriya has One For All, the rest of the world doesn’t,” he explains. “Since the UA Sports Festival is the most popular sporting event in Japan, everyone will be watching; and Midoriya’s power is unmistakably the same as All Might’s, especially when compared against every other student from classes A and B.”
“Huh,” hums Ochako. “It’s kind of important for Deku to win, then.”
Iida’s hands still as his pace slows. “I suppose you’re right.”
“Iida,” she says, placing her palm on his forearm. He’d get so upset if she accidentally made him float, though, when a passing student bumps into him, she almost can’t get her fingertips away in time. “We’ll be there with him, and we won’t let anyone hurt him, right?”
When Iida nods, Ochako can’t stop herself from breaking into a grin. “Right.”
“You’re disgracing me,” says Enji. His cheek twitches, causing the flames around his jaw to flicker more harshly than before. “Had you used my power, you would have had a crushing victory in both of the last events.”
Shouto keeps staring straight ahead without stopping his pace. Enji does not reach out to stop him.
“I’m tired of this childish insolence. It’s time for you to accept your duty and surpass All Might.” Enji raises his voice. “Don’t you understand? You were born greater than your siblings! You are my masterpiece!”
For a second, Shouto pauses. Has it finally gotten through his numb brain?
He turns his head, and he says, “Midoriya Izuku was born Quirkless. He will climb to greatness with All Might’s power. But me?”
He begins to walk away again.
“I’ll only need my mother’s.”
