>Six | Mockingly Defiant<

Midoriya stared at the numbers and letters of the doors as he trudged through the corridor. He clasped the straps of his bag confidently and with every stride he took, his confidence seem to leapt along with it. Midoriya wasn't the child he use to be, not anymore at least, he is a different child now. He is Izuku.

Izuku stopped in front of a fairly, large door, the colour was predominantly blue and towered over him mockingly. Slowly, taking in a deep breath, he began opening it. Most didn't care to spare him a glance at first, he was a plain boy in their eyes whilst others recognised him for his amazing quirk on the battlefield.

His eyes wondered over to Katsuki and Tenya who were arguing with one another, the reason was unclear for a brief moment.

"Don't you think this is disrespectful to the property provided by the school and towards your classmates?" Said Tenya, the fingers of his hands were stuck together pointing up and then began to move down at a ninety-degree angle. It was an amusing sight to say the least.

"No, I don't think so. Which middle school are you from anyways, you extra?!" Yelled Katsuki glaring at the boy beside him.

"Ahem! I'm from Soumei Junior High School. The name is Iida Tenya." He reintroduced himself to Katsuki, one hand was on his chest where his heart lied and the other was extended towards Katsuki.

Izuku ignored their arguing and went to the seat behind Katsuki, the boy kept silent as he went passed the argument to seat number eighteen. His back was slouched and his eyes wondered over to the different people around his class, he wanted to know their quirks as soon as possible.

Tenya turned to Izuku and extended his hand out for him to shake, "Ah hello! I'm Iida Tenya from Soumei--"

"I heard," Said Izuku with a small smile across his lips, though he didn't really feel happy on the inside, "you're the goody two shoes aren't you?"

"Is that what you really think? I feel honoured that you think I'm good despite your lack of knowledge on me." Said Tenya moving his hands around crazy, Izuku looked at him and let out a snort of laughter, the class watched from afar worriedly.

"Well I--" Izuku was interrupted by the gravity girl from the exam.

"Oh! There you are curly haired kid!" She beamed as she approached Izuku who silently kissed his teeth but smiled nonetheless, "I'm glad I found you. You made it! Just like Present Mic said! Your fire-breath is out of this world."

Katsuki listened into the conversation immensely not wanting to miss a detail of it. He couldn't understand the sudden changes of Izuku, neither could he understand the words leaping out of the girl's mouth.

"Fire-breath." Katsuki thought, it wasn't a question as such, but instead it was more of a statement. He had witnessed it himself. Gently, he tugged at the edge of his sleeve and skimmed his fingers across the nape of his neck whilst recalling the memory.

"This means two kids from our middle school got into U.A! Two! And Midoriya's acceptance is a miracle upon miracles!" Boasted their old homeroom teacher, Izuku only smiled at the man but it wasn't a happy one nor anger, it was so neutral you couldn't tell the intent behind it.

After both of the teenagers left the office, Katsuki confronted Izuku angrily. His hands already beginning to spark as his hands neared Izuku's.

"You f**king twerp! How the hell did you get into U.A? What kind of trick did you use?!" Yelled Katsuki pushing Izuku up upon the wall but not getting any sort of reaction, not a shiver went down Izuku's spine.

Izuku's green eyes glimmered and glowered down, "a trick? But it isn't even Halloween Kacchan." Laughed Izuku, but it was forced and felt coldhearted. Katsuki didn't back down. His red irises bore into Izuku's green ones, searching for a glimpse of worry but only finding newly found confidence.

Izuku reached for Katsuki's wrist and pulled up his sleeves, pressing a small item onto his skin. From his breath came tames flames which burnt the layers of thick skin Katsuki had. Katsuki tried to flinch away but Izuku held a tight grip on his arm and continued to increase the flames gradually.

"Stop you f**king ass-wipe! I'll kill you." Yelled Katsuki. There were sparks in his hands reacting more violently. Izuku stopped his fire-breath and looked at Katsuki. He was laughing mockingly.

"Wow, such heroism. Honestly, how is it that you want to be a hero?" Sighed Izuku shaking his head side to side disappointedly. Katsuki glowered at the boy about to cuss him out once more, "why did people tell you, a person with a piss poor attitude as your own, to be a hero? I'm the one who actually had a chance if it weren't for my biological components."

"You? A quirkless like you having a chance? You're deluded! And f**king crazy now!" Yelled Katsuki at the child.

"Oh no, I'm not crazy. I am normal, but society says otherwise," Sighed Izuku, "I could've been like that old superhero, what his name? It was from such an old comic, Batman was it? Or Manbat? I could've developed something to make up for it. But now I do have a quirk. You saw." Said Izuku letting go of Katsuki.

"Shut up you f**king asshole, I'll murder you!" Yelled Katsuki, the palm of his hands began to produce nitroglycerin and an explosion formed in his hand, he swung forth and it made contact with Izuku's arm which made him flinch slightly.

"No Kacchan. You won't kill me." Smiled Izuku looking his childhood friend in the eyes, it was completely emotionless, it seemed so dark to the usual green irises he was use to seeing. Instead, it was as if Katsuki was looking into his black, abyss-like soul, "you can't kill me when I'll kill you first."

That's when Katsuki felt something cold press against the back of his neck, it was sharp and metallic. He froze and looked towards Izuku who seemed to tower over him even though Katsuki was taller. Katsuki could tell it wasn't a joke at all. Izuku planned to kill him.

"But I don't want to ruin my record." Said Izuku attracting the object to his own body and grabbing it. It was a knife, and this knife had a tiny red splotch on the edge. It was Katsuki's blood, "goodbye Kacchan."

Izuku waltzed away and Katsuki looked down at his throbbing and burnt arm, there was a small imprint of a letter on his skin. It was the letter 'I' for Izuku he assumed.

Izuku turned for a brief second, "you've made your mark, now I've made mines." He declared walking off.

Katsuki's attention was diverted by the sudden announcement of his teacher, or he thought it was, the man wore his pyjamas, inside a sleeping bag with a straw in his mouth, slurping his drink. Everyone in the room quieted down at his presence and so he finally spoke.

"Eight seconds to quiet down hmm, life is short and all of you lack common sense." He announced getting out of his sleeping bag, "I'm your homeroom teacher Aizawa Shouta. Pleasure meeting you." He said monotonously to the class. The black strands of his hair met up at the middle, it looked uncut and it hadn't been brushed for a few months. His eye-bags were heavily emphasised by many lines.

"Eraserhead wasn't it? The hero in the shadows." Whispered Izuku to himself giddily. He had made sure to double his hero research after the incident, he had all their weaknesses embedded into the depths of his brain. Especially All Might's.

"Now, wear these immediately and go to the P.E grounds." Announced Aizawa, handing over different sets of uniforms to the kids in his class. Izuku grasped the uniform and went to go and change along with everyone else.

Once they had finished changing into their P.E uniforms, they met with Aizawa on the school grounds. Aizawa spoke about a Quirk Apprehension Test for the students to do which got a smile out of Izuku, this was unexpected but he liked that quite a lot.

"Bakugou, how far can you pitch a soft ball?" Asked Aizawa as he tossed the ball over to Katsuki.

"Sixty-seven meters." Replied Katsuki pulling an arm over to stretch it.

"Try using your Quirk this time, don't exit the circle and anything is fine." Said Aizawa as Katsuki nodded at him, he pulled his arm back and began activating his quirk, he pulled back his arm and threw it.

"DIE!" Yelled Katsuki loudly getting a few nervous and awkward glances from others who began muttering about him. Aizawa held the machine to the rest of the class showing his score, seven-hundred and five point two meters altogether.

"Awesome! Seven hundred and five meters?! Unreal." Said one person in the class.

"This is fun!" Yelled another.

"Fun you say? You were planning to stay here for three years to get all buddy buddy with one another? What happened to becoming heroes?" Said Aizawa monotonously and yet it was projected ever so loudly to the class.

Awkwardly, the class became silent and guilty for having such pleasurable feelings.

"All right then, anyone who places last will be deemed hopeless and expelled." He said to the entire class, getting a wave of yells back at him. Izuku watched him closely and saw a tiny smile play at his lips resembling a twitch.

"Oh, he's lying?" Thought Izuku disappointedly, but it still played to his advantage. He didn't care for expulsion, he could've gone two ways about the situation easily.

"First trial: Fifty meter dash." Said Aizawa, the whole class headed to the track and took turns of twos.

First was Tenya and Tsuyu, Tenya had managed to get three point zero two seconds whilst Tsuyu had gotten five point fifty-eight seconds. Second partners up was Uraraka and Mashirao, third was Mina and Aoyama, this went on until finally it was Katsuki and Izuku.

Izuku sent a smile at Katsuki direction, it was goofy and giddy whilst Katsuki turned his head away from him. Izuku looked at his arms and smiled when stretching.

"I see the mark is still there." Said Izuku with a grin on his face. Aizawa yelled for them to go but Katsuki stood still for a second as Izuku ran further away from him. The students began to mutter but Katsuki frowned and kissed his teeth, he brought his hands to the side, began running and used his Quirk as a projectile for him to launch further, even passing Izuku who seemed to have the lead.

Katsuki got four point fifty eight second whilst Izuku scored fairly average with six point sixty six seconds, this made Katsuki shiver slightly. Izuku was approached by Ochako.

"Izuku, with a quirk like your own you could've used the flames to push yourself backwards." Said Ochako.

"But if I use too much, I'll spin and fall, if I use to little I won't move an inch. Plus I wanted to show Katsuki something." Replied Izuku with a sadistic grin. Ochako looked towards Katsuki.

"He could've gotten faster if he ran, I just don't understand." Said Tenya shaking his head side to side. Izuku smiled at her.

"I think he was trying to show off something. He's overly confident and believes he can beat me with seconds to spare," Sighed Izuku, "and he managed to. How cruel even for a bully." Izuku shook his head side to side disappointedly. Ochako believed the boy's statement.

"Bully?" Asked Ochako.

"Yeah, he's a bully." Said Izuku with a softer smile. Ochako's eyebrows furrowed downwards in pity. That's what Izuku wanted.

Pity.
