8 Chapter 8:- All Falls Down

"When a dream dies, the heart is torn to shreds." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

(Yagi Residence)

Today's day started off well for Izuku, He woke up early feeling refreshed, the pain also subsided and he was all ready for school having encountered no bullies on his way.

Yet it was just the calm before the storm.

Today was going to change his life completely.

When he reached school, he came to know that Mr Miyamoto was fired from the school for some illegal conduct with students.

Which Izuku knew was not true at all,

"I knew Mr. Miyamoto the most, if there's something, he would never do any such thing," said Izuku to himself as he was sure Mr Miyamoto would never do such a thing.

But he also knew he couldn't do anything or pry too much about it as he knew he wouldn't get answers.

Yet it was like a jackpot for everyone else.

Even before the class started, all of the students started using their quirks on him as if he were a punching bag and not a human.

And all of them didn't hold back even a slight bit, was it the fact that now there was no one to stop them or something else but they were definitely unhinged today.

The only reason why he was still conscious even after all the beating when they used their quirk to their fullest was because they were still kids and their quirk weren't that developed.

It might even be considered a miracle that Izuku remained conscious when all the previous wounds that hadn't healed completely were opened once again and he was bleeding profusely from every part of my body.

That's when they actually stopped. As even if Izuku was quirkless, if he got killed, their career might definitely be finished, and they all dreamt of becoming heroes, so they stopped themselves.

But it only accounted for the other bullies.

It seemed that seeing Izuku's bloodied body was pumping the original bullies with adrenaline as they continued bullying him throughout the school and they finally ended up throwing his quirk analysis books along with my bag into the pond. After which they threw Izuku from the second floor into the pond as well.

All the while he couldn't do a single thing as whenever he tried to raise his voice their bullying got even more intense.

Seeing Izuku and his books soaked in water mixed with his blood, Bakugo and Kazuki laughed seeing his state.

Satisfied Bakugo and Kazuki were leaving when Bakugo said, "You know Deku, if you really want to become a hero that badly why don't you take a swan dive from the roof and pray that you get a quirk in your next life."

Izuku heard that, and it saddened his heart a lot as he was on the verge of crying yet the impact was too much for him to stay awake as he lost consciousness.

When Izuku woke up, he was all patched up and out of the water along with his books lying beside me getting dried under the sun.

Izuku looked around him to see if he could find who was the one who helped him as he didn't know who it was, but he made sure to stop the blood loss along with patching up all the wounds Izuku had incurred, even the ones that he couldn't have patched himself.

He felt grateful for whoever he was, who patched him up along with drying his books.

(Timeline:- Around When Izuku Lost Consciousness After Falling From The Second Floor)

Just as Mr Miyamoto was leaving with his stuff, he heard a voice, when he closed the distance towards the voice.

His face turned horrid as he saw Izuku all battered and bloody with torn clothes thrown out of the second-floor window where his class was.

Seeing this he kept the stuff under a tree on his side. As he ran towards Izuku.

That's when Mr Miyamoto heard Bakugo's comment, which dreaded his heart as how could a kid say such a thing to someone, Bakugo was practically telling Izuku to commit suicide, and Kazuki didn't say anything.

After the initial horror subsided he was filled with rage, rage not to just use his quirk but to also make sure both the kids were crippled as he was sure of one thing, Society didn't need these kids as heroes as if they became heroes they wouldn't save people that are weak but they would oppress them instead.

He wanted to go and teach those kids a lesson but saving Izuku was important and so he pulled Izuku out of the pond, seeing his bloodied and battered body all Mr. Miyamoto said was, "Thank god, I came to take my stuff, or else they could have really killed Izuku," said Mr. Miyamoto to himself.

Given the state Izuku was in, if Mr Miyamoto hadn't come on time then Izuku might have fallen into a coma if he was lucky enough to not die.

And Mr Miyamoto was sure even if either of that would have happened no one would have cared about it, given how the landing blow was given by his own twin.

Mr Miyamoto wanted to beat them even more seeing Izuku's state and he didn't care what happened to his family knowing that he saved someone's life. and he was sure his family would have done the same thing without even thinking twice.

Yet he stopped himself, as currently, it wasn't revenge that was important but healing Izuku.

And that was what he did. He patched Izuku's body up and stopped the excess bleeding however it wasn't easy. Seeing all the wounds that he saw for the first time which were covered up by his school uniform.

Yes, it was Mr. Miyamoto's first time seeing this and it sent a chill down my spine as he thought 'How could a 14-year-old kid have such an injured body which many militants never have in their whole service? And most of all how was Izuku able to walk like nothing's wrong everyday?

Was there really no one who knew about this, was there really no one worried about him, was everyone turning a blind eye to him just because he is quirkless?

And what are his parents even doing, do they not get concerned about their kid's well being, or have they totally forgotten that Izuku even exists?' Many questions were going through Mr Miyamoto's mind.

And he said with a determined look, "This is enough. I can't let this continue anymore. Because if I did, Izuku wouldn't be able to survive even a week. I will definitely do something, if required I will adopt him. Yes, I will adopt him, at least I will be a better parent to Izuku than his current parents."

As Mr. Miyamoto caressed sleeping Izuku's face, he said, "Rest a bit now Izuku, once I keep my stuff back and talk to my family I'll start calling in favors to make sure I get your custody Izuku, I won't let you suffer anymore, I promise."

Saying that he laid Izuku on the ground and left the compound.

Sad, his intentions were noble, but fate had some other plans, as he wouldn't be able to see the Izuku he knew ever again.

(Flashback Ends)

Seeing he is all patched up, Izuku felt really grateful for whoever it was that helped him as well as he felt sorry for them, having to see such an unsightly scene of his body.

After standing up and packing his stuff, Izuku decided to take a detour to calm himself down. Plus it was that time of the week when Izukuu would meet Fuyumi. And spending time with her always lifted Izuku's mood.

But he still decided to take a detour to calm himself down. That's why he took the long way there by roaming around the city as he said, "I hope to think of some plausible excuse regarding my condition so that Fuyumi won't worry too much about me."
