A Well Deserved Victory
"If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."

The class was speechless, the same reaction they had with Bakugo’s and Midoriya’s battle, though a bit more toned down. Because, unlike Midoriya’s battle, there wasn’t any blood that was spilled despite Midoriya getting heavily injured. The injuries were only internal, unlike now where the gash on the girl’s arm was so deep that a bit of her bone was visible. The blood was seeping from down her bones and pooling at her bottom.
“You’re not going to apologize?!” The girl turned her head from facing the floor to hiss at me.
“Why should I? I don’t believe I did anything wrong.” I scoffed
“Are you that dumb or are you just cold-hearted?” She sneered, giving me a death glare and in response, I only snorted.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. We were told to do our best, in fact, that still wasn’t my best. I just finished the battle quickly because I wasted too much time and you got on my nerves.”
She muttered something under her breath that I wasn’t able to hear, “Come again? I couldn’t hear what you were saying.” I gritted my teeth in anger.
‘Stop it! Calm yourself before your anger gets the best of you! Just ignore them, be the mature one!’ I internally scolded and complained at the thought of keeping my mouth shut. For a second, a scowl overtook my face, but just as it appeared it vanished.
“Nevermind. It’s not worth it.” I spoke calmly as she rolled her eyes.
We decided to end that conversation short. Getting down on one knee I did not pull a ring out but instead, a dagger. Don't ask me where I got it though. Just kidding, I transfigured a rock into a dagger when no one was looking.
I needed to cut off the restraints from both her and the pervert seeing as I tied it on them a tad bit too tight that untying them by hands was not an option. It was enough so that the blood circulating in both their veins was cut off, causing their hands to begin to turn a deep shade of purple but that's more on the pervert's side seeing as he's been trapped longer in the restraints than the black-haired girl has been. Not only that I had also purposely made his bindings significantly tighter.
“Sorry.” I mumbled out to them, unapologetically
After that we didn’t go back to the control room, instead we headed towards Ground Beta’s exit tunnel. The word ‘EXIT’ in deep and bold red didn’t fail to capture everyone’s eyes nor did the huge walls that circled around us with barbed wires on top of it. All Might stood in front of us just, with the exit tunnel facing his back. In his usual hero stance, he stood proudly with a smile, both hands on his waist dripping in confidence. And then suddenly a loud whistle rang through our ears.
“Good job everyone! Nobody got injured badly other than young Midoriya, but you all gave your best. You all did great, this being your first training!” All Might beamed happily
Tsuyu-chan raised her hand and began to speak, “After having such a decent lesson after Aizawa-sensei is kind of anticlimactic.” Everyone including myself nodded in agreement
“Conducting a decent lesson is our freedom of choice!” All Might countered, “Well then… I must give young Midoriya, who's in the nurses clinic, some feedback. Change your clothes and return to your classroom!” He turned his back on us to dash to the nurses clinic, but he was so fast that the wind blew through us, gray smoke clouding the area
“Woah!” Our class chanted in unison at the scene
“All Might is awesome!” Kaminari beamed in excitement
“Why is he in such a rush?” The boy named Ojiro with a huge tail questioned
“He’s so cool!” The violet pig or grape, whatever he was, covered his mouth in astonishment
Unbeknownst to everyone except 2 people since we were all focused on All Might being an amazing human being and hero. We didn’t notice Bakugo holding his head down and being unsettlingly quiet. All but two noticed how Bakugo was truly feeling, Midoriya being one of them. Kirishima looked at the boy in worry then began to think of different ways to cheer his friend up, but in the end he settled on saying encouraging words to the young blonde.
Time skip
The sky was a deep shade of orange and the wind blew gently and the tree branches and leaves swayed to an unknown song. It wasn’t exactly hot or not cold outside since the sun was beginning to set. And then all of a sudden the door to our classroom slid open to reveal the one and only Midoriya, still in his hero costume but this time he was wearing a cast around his arm with a blue sling around his neck to support it.
Kirishima, Mina, Sero, and I, who were currently talking about quirks, dropped the conversation at the site of the green haired boy entering the classroom.
Kirishima with his spiky shark-like teeth exclaimed in relief and excitement, “Oh! Midoriya is back!” He then ran up to the green haired, “Good work! I couldn’t tell what you were saying, but you were all fired up!”
Following Kirishima like little ducklings wobbling after their mother, we made a beeline to our target. We also had some other people in our class trailing behind us, and we gathered around the unruly haired boy.
“You fought on par with Bakugo, our grade’s top scorer!” Sero-kun jumped in after Kirishima
“You dodged it so well!” Mina fangirled with both clenched fist held closely to her chest
“It was cool, Midoriya. Glad to see you back.” I leaned on Mina cooly
However despite having a cool demeanor my mind and emotions were somewhere else. I had an unsettling feeling with how Aoyama who was just beside me sitting at his desk. Was staring directly straight at the wall, eyes unwavering. I mean I didn’t want to pry into anyone’s business but something felt off with him. How he planted his elbows on his desk only to cup his head into both of his hands. A strange smile that somewhat felt not that genuine was stretched out on his face.
‘He’s giving me the creeps honestly, it’s like he’s hiding something. I can’t really feel that his smile is genuine for some strange reason.’ Despite my brain telling me that what I was saying was absolutely ridiculous, it didn’t do anything to waver my heart or instincts to instinctively raise their guards around the blonde boy.
“Because that was the first match, we gave it our all too!” A large man with big lips named, Sato joined in
“It was far from elegant-“ Aoyama finally diverted his attention from the wall in front of him, making the uncomfortable feeling I had previously washed away, however that didn’t lower my guard.
Mina cut him off however as she began to bounce this time, “Your dodge was so great!”
“U-Uhh!” Midoriya squeaked as he blushed heavily at all the compliments thrown at him.
“I’m Kirishima Eijiro!” Kirishima finally introduced himself to Midoriya then pointed his thumb at Sero, “And we were evaluating our battles.”
Sero introduced himself to Midoriya as well, “I’m Hanta Sero.”
Aoyama tried to joined in again, “I’m Aoya-“
Unfortunately for him again, Mina interrupted him, “I’m Ashido Mina! You dodged it so well!” Mina fangirled once again.
“I’m Asui Tsuyu, kero kero~ Call me Tsuyu.” Tsuyu-chan popped out off Mina’s back suddenly
“I’m Sato!” He introduced himself, though not completely
“You already know me but for formalities, I’m (L/n) (Y/n)!” I gave one of my darling smiles
“Umm…” Midoriya blushed heavily and felt so overwhelmed with the amount of attention he received
“I’m Mineta!” The little fucker jumped up out of nowhere infront of us and punched the air
“Where did you pop out from?” Kirishima asked him as he laughed, clearly surprised
Perhaps still feeling left out or bitter from being cut off previously by Mina, “I’m twinkling Aoyama Yuga!” Aoyama spoke despite no one listening.
“Yours was awful.” Sato commented
All the while our conversation was occuring a whole other one was, behind us was also ongoing with the bird head boy named Tokoyami, a violet haired girl with aux cords attached to the bottom of her ears, and a boy with a large tail.
“How noisy…” The emo bird looked down in annoyance but had a calm face, gesturing to us who were crowding the front door to our classroom.
Iida, who was previously on the opposite side of the classroom spotted Tokoyami chilling on the desk, ran towards him, “Tokoyami-kun! That is not a chair, please get off of it now!” Iida began chopping the air hysterically
“What’s the big deal?” Jiro, who stood next to Tokoyami, questioned and defended, her hand placed on her waist in expectation for an answer.
“What?!” Iida yelled in shock as if it was obvious
“What’s up with your hands?” Ojiro stood behind both Tokoyami and Jirou, asking as he pointed at them chopping the air.
Iida hunched his back, looking at the ground, “You guys…” Then he sprung back up looking more stricter than ever, “I cannot overlook your mistreatment of the desk used by our great alumnus!”
“How noisy.” Sato said, making us all turn to all at the scene unraveling before us.
The back door to our classroom suddenly opened with Kaminari walking in, holding lots of our school books. Uraraka, feeling much better now than when she was throwing up just today, trailed behind the blonde. Also carrying lots of our school books.
“Hey Uraraka, we should go eat! What do you like?” Kaminari attempted to flirt with the poor girl.
“Rice cakes…” Not getting the hint, the girl replied casually.
Upon Uraraka’s eyes drifting around the classroom and eyes landing on that of Midoriya’s, she ran up to him. Leaving behind Kaminari who looked both disappointed and annoyed that his attempt at flirting fell.
“Deku, you didn’t get your injuries fixed up?” Uraraka spoke in worry as her eyes scanned his cast.
“Oh, this is because of my own energy.” The boy answered, with slight embarrassment
“Huh?” Uraraka spoke out in confusion as Midoriya’s eyes shifted elsewhere
“Umm, Uraraka-san… More importantly… Where’s Bakugo?”
“We all tried to stop him, but he left without a word.” She replied, then suddenly Midoriya turned around and began running after Bakugo I presumed.
“Sorry and thanks guys! I’ll catch up with you guys later!” He waved at us as he continued running forward to chase after Bakugo.
“Uhh… What was that all about?” Sero questioned, confused as to why Midoriya was chasing after Bakugo
“I don’t know.” I replied, but deep down I had a good hunch about it.
After that we all dispersed into our own group of friends. However I saw Mina started keeping her things as well as all the other girls, so I followed suit. Once we were done cleaning up our stuff and such, I followed Mina, Uraraka, and Tsuyu-chan outside to which we watched the whole scene of how Midoriya chased after Bakugo, him crying and then All Might coming.
Of course unluckily for me, I was too far away to be able to use my spell in order to hear what they were saying but from the looks of it, it’s situation seemed really personal. So I should just minded my own business instead.
“What was all that about?” Mina placed both her hands to the large window, leaning on it with her weight.
“It must be a guy’s fate.” Uraraka spoke seriously
“It looked like Midoriya was just saying excuses. Kero~” Tsuyu spoke out
“Seems like they have a disagreement. Bakugo really hates Midoriya, doesn’t he?” I joined in along their opinions
“It’s a guy’s fate!” Uraraka said more firmly this time
“Could be.” Mina agreed with Uraraka
“What’s a guy’s fate?” Tsu-chan questioned though nobody answered
“Mhm mhm!” Uraraka hummed to break the silent
“A guy’s fate is probably something like a phase they go through in life…?” I sighed and pointed casually at the dramatic scene below, “Well whatever went on down there, I think Bakugo and Midoriya relationship just got even worse.” I mumbled out
We went back to the classroom and grabbed our things. I took a glance at the seat beside mine, it was empty already. The owner of the seat, Todoroki, had already left directly after we were dismissed and cleaned the classroom. I asked him why he was leaving so early before he left. He answered that classes were done and he did his part in cleaning the classroom so there isn’t anything else left for him to do but leave.
He also added that he was tired so he’s gonna head home, as simple as that. I continued asking about how he could stay a bit longer and hang out with us, but he declined. Again adding along something about his sister will worry and his father will get really upset if he was late for their training. He also accompanied some insults at the mention of his father, also while he was keeping his things.
As he stuffed his wallet in his bag I noticed a black card with gold lettering on it, which I assume is a credit card. The golf lettering on the card had the name ‘Enji Todoroki/Endeavor’ on it. Weird… Why would Todo have his daddy’s card? Though I was glad I had quick eyes or I would have never found out about this little information, despite being practically useless to me.
He shoved the wallet in his bag along with his books whilst I watched him in a bored manner. He didn’t seem to mind, if he did he would scold me or tell me off. After finishing packing up his stuff, our eyes met and he gave me a nod, saying a polite goodbye before making his way out of our classroom. And so he went home, which sucks. I would have enjoyed getting to know him and learned more information about quirks. But that’s no matter as I can still hang out with Mina and the others.
Just barely managing to grab my bag, Mina suddenly pulled at my wrist, gripping it firmly and the dragged me along with her to who knows where until I spotted a familiar electrifying blonde coming into my view as we closed our distances. Kaminari was stationed by the exit where he waited for us very patiently. After Mina let go of my hand, she ran off to which I presumed she was grabbing another member from our group of friends. Kaminari, who stood in front of me and now was only holding one book, handed it to me as it was mine.
“Sorry I didn't hand it to you earlier, I couldn’t spot you.” Kaminari apologized
Grabbing the book from him and placing it in my shoulder bag, “Don’t mind it, I think I was outside the classroom with Mina, Tsu-chan, and Uraraka-chan.”
“Hey! (Y/n), let’s get going now that I’ve grabbed Sero and Kirishima!” Mina-chan screeched, dragging me alongside her as she made a beeline for the door.
“Wait up for us!” The boys screamed in unison as they chased after the over hyperactive pink-skinned girl.
“Hah! Hero training was so tiring! I just wanna sleep for the rest of the day!” Mina complained, finally stopping at the shoe locker
Panting and groaning Kaminari added when he and the others were finally able to catch up with us, “Tell me about it!”
“You guys are already tired? C’mon the day hasn’t finished yet!” Kirishima, who was slightly panting barely even broke a sweat, complained about our lack of motivation.
“Easy for you to say, you’re super energetic!” Sero joined in
“I agree with Mina, but I wanna eat first though. I'll probably do some homework after that and then go to sleep.” I piqued
“Man, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to answer our English homework correctly! I suck at English!” Kaminari cried out
“I think you’ll do just fine, Kaminari. Just do your best! But if you ever need any help you could always ask me.” I encouraged him
“Hey! Great idea! We could study at my plac- Ack!” Before the boy could finish Mina shoved him in the shoulder a bit roughly.
“No hitting on my girl! She’s my (N/n)!” Mina interjected with a playful glare.
I laughed at the scene and told Mina it was fine with me but I’m not really interested in dating anyone as of currently. After catching our breaths we went up to our locker and changed our shoes. Once I grabbed the shoes and changed them, as I placed my indoor shoes in the locker I noticed a certain red and white hair catching my eyes in the distance, slowly drifting away though.
Todoroki left a while ago so it was a wonder how come he was still here. Well one thing for sure was that he was walking slow as Hell. It was too begrudgingly slow, as if he did it on purpose. ‘What’s going on in your mind, Todoroki?’ I questioned myself curiously.
I pulled out my phone, I wasn’t used to technology but thanks to a previous human friend of mine and muggle studies. I had started to adjust to it rapidly and now I was able to understand it, albeit I still had some confusion. I read the time on my phone, 5:07 PM. It’s getting late, I should probably head home and make dinner first before doing any of my assignments.
“Guys! I go ahead cuz’ I still have some stuff to do, is it alright we hang out next time?” I asked
Kirishima answered manly, “Sure! No problem, let's hang out this Saturday or something if you guys aren’t busy.”
“I think Saturday would be good for me.” I smiled, waving goodbye and hugging Mina before I headed home
Home… It was a condo complex, it wasn’t prestigious or anything. It just looked like every other condo complex. Which was good as it doesn’t draw any attention to me. I lived there alone and was on the third floor, number 394.
Arriving at my door, I knocked on it in a very specific pattern then got out a special key. Unlocking the door and entering the room, it was a strange sight for humans to behold. It was much bigger than all the other units, even bigger than the penthouse so how come it’d even fit? Not only that it look’d weird in their eyes, not a hint of anything modern, in fact it looked completely ancient.
All of its appearance and aesthetic was achieved through means of magic of course, I had placed multiple enchantments from enlarging the room to concealing it. The room had 2 exteriors, one meant for me and the other meant for humans. If I wanted to invite a human in then we’d go to the normal human-safe exterior of the room.
If it was just me on the other hand, I’d go to the enchanted version of the room. As it was only me I went to my enchanted room instead, and locked the door behind me. Pulling out my wand from my sleeves, I casted a spell to start doing the house chores with magic.
Looking at the scene casually, a broom and dustpan flew out of the closet and started to sweep up the place. On the dining table, place mats and utensils floated and set themselves up. Meanwhile in the kitchen, I stood contemplating on what I should have for dinner.
Soba sounds good enough for me. Casting another spell, all the ingredients and materials needed to make soba came out of the drawers and began to do its thing. I let out a tired groan and stretched my body.
I pulled my english book out from my bag, the one that Kaminari-kun handed to me previously. I laughed out when I opened and saw a sticky note stuck on with the words, ‘Do you wanna eat somewhere? :) Here’s my number: ####-###-#### -K.D.’
‘Wow, nice try Kaminari. Unfortunately though I have no interest in going out with anyone romantically.’ Pulling out my phone I typed in the number so that I could text him that I wasn’t interested in going out with him. I did just that, very politely may I add as well.
‘Damn, I’ll admit I am a bit lonely here. I’m not used to being completely alone to be honest, but it does feel really nice to have my own privacy. Complete privacy.’ After finishing my homework, I ate dinner, took a bath, and said goodnight to no one in particular except myself.
“This is gonna be a long year.” I groaned in realization, closing my eyes finally and letting sleep overcome me.
