The next day, I was home most of the time.

I figured out, that by studying, my intelligence can increase considerably.

Also, I′ve tried some weightlifting with 2kg weights. They were freaking heavy, but they raised my strength a bit.

"Izuku dear, why won′t you go out with your friends today? It′s such a nice weather today."

There goes my nagging mom again.

Oh....

?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?

Go outside and enjoy the weather with your "friends."

Your mom wants you to enjoy your youth! Go outside and do something!

?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?

"Well, I can go out if you want me to."

Izuku stood up from his chair, and changed his clothes.

"Izuku dear, what are those clothes?" asked the bewildered Inko.

"Oh.. I am going out for a jog, I don't feel like playing with friends today.

I have decided to train myself into a perfect hero!" replied Izuku.

"OH IZUKU!"

Without any warning, his mother hugged him and started crying.

"It′s fine mom, I will be a hero no matter what! Just watch me!" smiled Izuku

"Sure." Inko just absentmindedly nodded.

********************************************************************************

"That damn nerd really got us yesterday huh.."

"Yeah, it was really unexpected, to think that this timid kid was so strong all this time.."

Sighed the bully duo.

They continued with their talk until their leader Bakugo arrived.

"Hey Bakugo."

"Huh?! What is it!?

The duo flinched at her explosive behaviour, but they smirked and said,

"How about we go, and beat that bastard up. Maybe he was just lucky yesterday."

"Yeah. There are three of us, and we have our trump card, which is you, The Explosive murder king. We are practically invincible against that dumbass, yesterday was just a ruse."

"I don′t feel like it." replied Bakugo with a relatively quiet voice.

They were surprised. Was she scared of Deku? Or was it something else?

Both of them looked at each other and nodded.

"Alright. We will go and beat him up without your help."

"Do as you wish. I am leaving."

The still quiet Bakugou silently left the place.

********************************************************************************

Izuku went for a jog to strengthen his body and stamina. He added on the speed, and started sprinting. He never jogged or sprinted that much before, so he got tired rather quickly. After five minutes, he stopped to catch his breath.

"Good, Good. Give me more skills. It′s like I have multiple quirks. The sensation is amazing." laughed Izuku.

Unbeknownst to him, a certain pair of bullies, watched him the whole time.

"Hey.. I think that he is crazy." whispered Honta.

"I agree, what do we do? Do we still go after him or what?" asked Shinto.

Honta put his hands behind his head and said, "I don′t know, beating him up

isn′t fun anymore, and I don't think that we can do it without the leader."

Katsuro silently listened in on their conversation. She was on her way from the metal music shop, when she saw those 2 stalking Deku.

Well, they said that they would beat him up, but why are they hesitating?

Are they scared of Deku? They probably want to formulate a plan before beating him up, their brains had evolved.

Oh well, it′s that damn nerds fault anyway. Thought Bakugo.

"To be honest, I hate that quirkless kid just as I hate Bakugo. Bakugo is just pissing me off with her behavior. I don't get it.. She considers us lower than Deku, and when we say something bad about him, she just beats us up as well, while saying that only she can say that to Deku." growled Honta.

"Yep. True. I don't get her either, I don't consider her a friend, but an annoying person as well." replied Shinto.

The more Bakugo listened, the worse she felt.

So this is how everyone sees me? Well fuck them all, thought Bakugo.

"She never calls me by my name, like ever. Not even once, she always calls me Chicken Wings. I am tired of it." sighed Shinto.

Because you are fat and you have wings. What else should I call you damn it, thought Bakugo.

"Well, she doesn't call me by my name as well.. The only person she ever called by the name was Deku, before she started calling him Deku, but even that sounds better than Longy Boy."

Hell.. I am calling you Longy Boy because you have a quirk that extends any part of your body and you are a boy. How is that hard to understand?

But in reality, Bakugo was the one who didn't understand.

Why are they angry?

Aren't these nicknames? I just gave them nicknames as a sign of friendship.

They call me the boss, Deku calls me Kacchan, even though I dislike it..

Why don't they like them? It doesn't make any sense!

Bakugo's world was falling apart, she never really needed anyone, but once she has someone, she expects them to stay with her as a comrade and a friend till she grows up. But now? Two of her "Underlings aka friends", showed how much they hate her.

Her face scrunched up in disgust and an indescribable feeling followed after.

Fuck you all. I didn't need you anyway.

She was about to leave when she heard something that she couldn't ignore.

"How about we go to his house, and put pins under their family car? His mother is home alone, probably watching tv at this time, she wouldn't expect something like that.

In the morning, when she goes to her job, she will get a flat tire and she would suspect that it was Deku, playing with pins, isn't that an amazing plan?" laughed Shinto.

"I agree, let's do th-"

Before he could finish, he got hit in the stomach by a brutal force.

Air escaped his lungs as he was unable to move.

"What the fuck did you just say?!!" Bakugo angrily threw more punches to the poor boy.

The boy slowly looked up at the face of the attacker, unable to hide his surprise on his face.

"Cough" "Cough"

"Bakugo, why did you do that to him?!" screamed Shinto.

"Shut up extras! I don′t care that you plan on beating Deku up, or that you talk about me behind my back, but leave auntie Inko out of this you bastards!"

Once again, Bakugo threw some deadly combos, this time on Shinto.

Both of the boys laid on the ground, beaten up as blood leaked out of their noses.

"I don′t consider you my underlings anymore! Don′t show up in front of me ever again!"

shouted Bakugo as she left the place.

Even though Deku is Deku.. Auntie Inko was always nice to me. Just like Deku. Fuck.

Bakugo was about to leave this damn place when she finally remembered,

"Where the hell is Deku anyway? Wasn′t he here a minute ago?"

********************************************************************************

Right After Izuku completed his mission, he heard a noise back behind the trashcan.

He curiously went up, and he saw something he didn′t expect to see.

"Bakugo, why did you do that to him?!" screamed Shinto.

"Shut up extras! I don′t care that you plan on beating Deku up, or that you talk about me behind my back, but leave auntie Inko out of this you bastards!"

He watched as Kacchan beat them up, because they talked about harming his mother.

With a bright smile, Izuku left the place, and returned home in full spirits.

"I am home!" announced Izuku.

"Oh Izuku dear, you are home already. How was your day?" asked Inko.

"It couldn′t be better!" answered Deku with a giant smile.

"I am glad."

********************************************************************************

Bakugo Household.

Angry Katsuro entered the house and violently closed the door behind her,

"Oi brat, stop being so loud!" shouted her mother from kitchen.

"Shut up old hag! I am really angry right now!" Katsuro shouted back at her.

Mitsuki left the kitchen and looked at her child. "Katsuro, what happened?"

"I am feeling like shit right now. Not in the mood to talk." Katsuro placed her bag on the sofa, and went upstairs into her room.

Hearing the commotion, her dad quickly left the shower room, and asked his wife about the details.

"It seems like Katsuro is down, what happened Mitsuki?" asked her husband.

"I am not really sure, maybe they had another fight with Izuku. She keeps on distancing herself from him. I am afraid that she will lose her only friend like this." sighed Mitsuki

Their voices were audible enough for the young Katsuro to hear, even though she was on the second floor.

She put her pillow on her ears, and tried sleeping that way.

"As if I need a friend, fuck friends, every single one of them will leave me anyway."

No, Deku wouldn't? Right?

Alright, I have decided.

Deku, you need to prove yourself more.

You are the only one that's left. I trust you.
