Ruffling my hair a bit, I stare at the huge Academy for Heroes and sigh.
I felt extremely out of place, not to mention I had no uniform whatsoever since I pretty much burnt it out of rage and hatred.

I make my way down the once-familiar halls of the Academy and surprisingly, I even remembered where my old class was...
Class 1-A, Hero Course, Homeroom teacher - Aizawa Shouta.

As far as I'm concerned, homeroom teachers always change, so the chance of getting him again are very small.
Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll get Hizashi?
Nevermind, I'm never lucky, if I count my blessings, I'm surely gonna have Aizawa.

Taking another breath to relax my nerves, I open the tall door and gaze at the nostalgic classroom, taking a step inside and I look at the kids who sat (im)patiently at their desks.
I remember even now, I and Kasai, our desks one next to the other, now in my place stood a guy with spiky red hair, while her seat was taken by a brunet guy with a weird smile.

Seeing that nobody was there yet, I sat at the teacher's seat and put my feet on the desk, leaning back on the chair and looking at the ceiling absent-minded.

"Yo...It's already 8 A.M. sharp. Is your teacher always this late?" I asked in a bored voice.
"Um...Wh-Who are you, miss?" a soft, feminine voice asked.
"Who am I isn't important for now, you'll just find out later. For now, let's ju-" but I was interrupted by a door opening, and I could only smirk. "Aizawa, hello."
"You didn't even look at me and you knew who I was." he muttered in his characteristic exhausted voice.
"Well, of course, since I'm unlucky enough, it just had to be you." I sigh, shrugging and getting out of his chair. "Ah, never mind that, since I'm here and I stopped burning the Principal's letters, I guess I'll hang around for a bit. Y'know...This and that, waste my time a bit..." I said nonchalantly, looking anywhere but at him.
"The fact that you are here is still a huge improvement and we are happy you are here. You will have to wear a proper uniform, however. By your reaction, I can guess you burnt the old one as well, correct?" with a side smile, he put his hand in his pockets, raising an eyebrow.
"Ah...What a drag...Come on, I'm like, 21, do I really need to wear this silly thing? It's so not my style..." scratching my cheek and laughing awkwardly I look down in disdain.
"I don't think Principal Nezu would want to hear that. Nonetheless, you're going to have to take all the classes from your 1st year again...Not like there were too many, to begin with. Everything has already been taken care for, for a while now." Aizawa mentioned, leading me outside of the class to discuss a bit more about the preparations and all that.

To be fair, I thought that I'd get pissed off only at the sight of him, but surprisingly...I...Didn't really mind it. It was almost like I forgave him...Or maybe, it was all in my head? Nothing really makes sense in my heart anymore, but I guess I'm more excited than anything, for now.

Before I left, I went back to the class to get a good look at my new future classmates, went in front of the green haired girl who oddly resembled a frog and gave her a little package with a letter inside it, telling her to only open in once she gets home.

I won't start Uni after a bit later since there are still a few things that I have to take care of, but until then, I get a few days to chillax!

I was awaken by an extremely annoying beeping noise, which only made me snap my eyes wide open once I realised what was making that horrible noise-

The emergency button.

I quickly got dressed up and sprinted to the location shown on the GPS, only to find out that it was the good-ol' place where we trained, the U.S.J.
Feeling my breath hitch in my throat, I take out my katana and go inside, seeing Aizawa fighting tens and tens of villains...
Seeing Aizawa fighting in the front-row is definitely not something I like seeing, so I went to aid him, swinging my flamed sword back and forth, surprising the low-lives who tried to defy these other idiots.

I don't care if these were adult heroes...But if it's children, then I'm not going to hesitate.

"What are you doing here, Kitsune? How did you know how to find us so soon?" Aizawa asked, as he took down another villain.
"Before I left, I gave Frog-Girl a tracking device that when activated, it would show on my phone so I could rescue her. I specifically told her to only activate it if it's urgent...By the looks of it, things are really bad around here. How did it come to this?!" I asked frantically, injuring three others.
"We don't know, but we will find out once we're done here." he grumbled.
"I saw the guy in armor speed up past me when I got here. I'm pretty sure he went to tell the other Pro-Heroes of what's going on so they can help us. You've got quite a smart class, Aizawa!" I chuckled, burning some others from my left side.
"Don't forget you are my student as well." he smirked, stealing a glance at me, before going to take down the last of the petty villains.

To my shock, there was this weird baby-blue haired guy with lots of hands glued to his face and body who ran towards Aizawa, so I went to kick him, but he grabbed my shin, and to my shock, my jeans started quickly started ripping and the skin on the place where he was holding started crumbling away, sending a shock of pain through my body.

Annoyed beyond belief, I bent down backwards and did a flip, using my other leg to kick him in the chin, so I could escape, going next to Aizawa and taking down others as I told him what happened and to take care around that weirdo.

But that wasn't the end...No, it was far worse...

"You're cool, both of you! Jumping in the fight just like that! But...You were wrong, I'm not the last boss! He is!" the blue-haired boy said in satisfaction.
"AIZAWA, LOOK OUT!!!" I shouted as I jumped to push him out of the way, only to get caught by the monstruosity that was hidden behind us.
"Kitsune-" was the last thing I heard before I got repeatedly shoved to the ground face-first, my leg and arm broken by that thing the villain named "Nomu", and I couldn't even find the strength to scream in agony or cry, for my vision was black, and I could barely even breath.

I tried to hear, but I was as good as powerless and senseless, not making anything intelligible out of what they were saying, only mumbles and grunts...
Ration seemed to leave me all at once, and between the waves of anguish, I could only recall the same situation having happened before, but with my sister.

Was this the same pain she felt as she died?

If that's so...Then...
Then maybe I deserve all this.

Will I live? Will I die? Does it even matter anymore?
My life was meaningless to begin with, after everyone around me seemed to disappear, nothing else mattered.
I've been wasting my life, pretending to live, to be someone, but in truth, I had no purpose.
But to be fair...
Maybe it's for the best.
Today is the first time in years that I felt as if I did something meaningful...Even if that meant to save Aizawa from this pain.

He is the Pro-Hero and he's the only one who can save these kids, not me.
I'm...
I'm just a fox, after all.
A meaningless parasite to this world, a thief, a manipulator, a liar, a deceiver.
The little Frog-Girl is going to live, as long as Aizawa is okay.
I'm certain of that...

"If you weren't a Warp Gate I'd have crushed you already...We can't win against dozens of Pro-Heroes...Let's retreat. Ah, before we go, let's destroy some of this Peace's pride, hm~?" my fox ears picked up some of these words and I then realised that he wanted to kill one of the kids.

With the last power I had, I opened my eyes and extended my hand on the ground, palm down, so I could create a powerful fire wall between the kids in the water and this "Shigaraki" who tried to attack them.

"Hm~? You're really cool, kiddo. It's a pity you decided to side with these filthy heroes, instead of us." he muttered tauntingly.
"D-Die...Al...Ready..." I forced myself to whisper, before I was showed to the ground once again by the Nomu.

I had no idea what was going on anymore.
I heard lots and lots of screams, but they were all meaningless, in a way.
I was scared for their lives...I was scared for Aizawa...
I could sense everyone's fear and anxiety since the Nomu left my side to fight the kids along with Shigaraki...

But there was a voice that I never thought I'd hear again in real life, a voice that made me sob, despite the pitiful state that I was in.
A voice that made me smile.

"It's fine now. Why? Because I'm here!" the voice said, and despite all odds, I knew we will win, somehow.
"T-Toshi..." I felt myself muttering, barely audible, as the blood on the ground surrounding me started mixing with salty tears.

As soon as I said that, I felt myself being picked up gently, and I let out an amused breath, as far as my condition allowed me.
"Y-You...Came..." I managed to utter.
"Kitsune-chan...I am sorry...However, I'm not going to make the same mistake again." he said firmly, then with the speed of light, he went to rescue the kids and got us all to safety, before he was to fight the Nomu.

One of the kids started carrying me along with Aizawa to where the others were, but I told him to let me down so I could crawl back to All Might and help him out.
It's the truth, I was as good as dead, and since some of the other kids were there to help him out, then might as well do something good with my life, after all.

Shigaraki mentioned that this beast was created to take All Might at 100%...So if he goes beyond "Plus Ultra", then it has no way to escape his wrath, correct?
My Quirk is rather silly, after all, seeing that I can use my fire to empower someone, so maybe I can do something about it.
The freckled green-haired kid understood my desperation so he got me where the rest were, and I managed to crawl to a hide spot, enough to gather enough force for later.

As soon as Toshi leapt to fight the Nomu hand on hand, I activated my Quirk, sending my flames to engulf Toshinori's arms, to empower him enough to get him beyond Plus Ultra, just as he always says.
The fight was incredibly difficult, seeing that they were almost matching, but there is only ONE All Might.
I used to hate him so much...Dreaded his whole existence, only because of what happened in the past...A mistake that ruined my life and all my vision of the future...
But even if I hate him, even if I don't, there's no way in hell am I letting him fight these villains alone!

The rage in my heart was so powerful, that it made me scream with all my strength as the flames became bigger and bigger, swirling around the two fighting ones, and in the end, Toshinori truly went beyond Plus Ultra and punched the Nomu out of that place.

With a sigh of relief and a stray tear down my face, I collapsed on the ground, letting darkness consume me to a never-ending abyss.

I finally did something good with my life.
